modifications.

                3.2 ESS hereby grants to Komodo a non-exclusive, royalty free,
fully paid up, worldwide right and license to modify, but not make or have made

        4. LICENSE GRANT.

                4.1 Subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, Komodo
grants to Vialta a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, limited
license during the term of this Agreement to incorporate the object code of the
KF200 ("Object Code") in the Vialta Products. This license shall only apply to
the extent of the Intellectual Property Rights (including any patent
applications covering the KF200 filed by or for Komodo within one (1) year after
the Old Effective Date) embodied in the Object Code of the KF200 as on the Old
Effective Date.

                4.2 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
granting to Vialta or to ESS any other right or license, either express or
implied, under any rights of

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

                 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED - EDITED COPY

Komodo now existing or hereafter obtained or controlled by Komodo except the
express rights hereinabove granted.

                4.3 The license granted in Section 4.1 above neither constitutes
nor includes a sale, lease, loan, or transfer of the Komodo's Intellectual
Property Rights or other proprietary rights in any form.

        5. LICENSING FEES AND PAYMENT.

                5.1 In consideration of the license granted to Vialta under
Section 4, Vialta and ESS jointly agree to pay Komodo a licensing fee of
$[*****] (United States Dollars) for each of the first one million uses of the
Object Code combined with Vialta Products (1-1,000,000) sold, leased, or
otherwise made available to third parties by Vialta. Vialta and ESS further
jointly agree to pay Komodo a licensing fee of $[*****] (United States Dollars)
for each of the second one million uses of the Object Code combined with Vialta
Products (1,000,001-2,000,000) sold, leased, or otherwise made available to
third parties by Vialta. In addition, Vialta and ESS jointly agree to pay Komodo
a licensing fee of $[*****] (United States Dollars) for each of the third one
million uses of the Object Code combined with Vialta Products
(2,000,001-3,000,000) sold, leased, or otherwise made available to third parties
by Vialta. No further licensing fee will be paid by ESS or Vialta to Komodo for
uses of the Object Code combined with Vialta Products that are sold, leased, or
otherwise made available to third parties beyond three million. This licensing
fee structure will be modified, as necessary, in accordance with [*****].

                5.2 Licensing fees shall accrue to the end of each calendar
quarter, and the sum of those licensing fees shall be paid to Komodo within
thirty (30) days of the close of the calendar quarter. All such licensing fees
shall be free of any applicable taxes, charges, or remittance fees levied by any
United States or foreign governmental agencies. Any licensing fees remaining
unpaid for more than thirty (30) days from the close of the calendar quarter
shall accrue interest at a rate of the lesser of 1.05 percent per month or the
highest rate allowed by law.

                5.3 Komodo shall have the right to audit the records of Vialta
and ESS to confirm compliance with this Agreement. For example, for each of the
first three million uses of the Object Code which are combined with Vialta
Products and sold, leased, or otherwise made available to third parties by
Vialta, Vialta shall maintain, for a period of three (3) years following the
date such units were sold, leased, or otherwise made available to third parties,
records as will adequately substantiate such sales, leases or other applicable
transactions. Komodo shall have the right, not more than twice per calendar
year, to have an independent public accountant, reasonably acceptable to Vialta,
examine the records for the sole and exclusive purpose of verifying the accuracy
of such records. Komodo may inspect such records at Vialta's business office
where such records are kept by giving Vialta ten (10) days advance notice of its
intent to inspect such records. Such records shall be deemed Vialta's
Confidential Information and such inspection shall be subject to such terms as
Vialta may reasonably request. Komodo shall pay all fees and expenses of the
auditor for the examination, unless such examination reveals a discrepancy in
the records of more than five percent (5%) for the period under examination,
wherein such records, show that the licensing fee paid to Komodo as required
under this Section 5 was at least five percent (5%) less than that which should
have been paid to Komodo

<PAGE>   5

                 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED - EDITED COPY

for the period under examination, in which case all reasonable fees and expenses
for such examination shall be borne solely by Vialta. Within thirty (30) days of
completion of such audit, Vialta shall pay to Komodo any underpayment discovered
by the audit, together with interest accruing on the amount of the underpayment
from the date such underpaid amounts were due to Komodo at the rate of the
lesser of 1.05% per month or the highest rate allowed by law.

        6. NON-COMPETE CLAUSE.

                6.1 ESS and Komodo agree to cooperate and mutually engage in
solving any engineering and product issues concerning Internet telephony
products that Komodo generally makes commercially available and which use ESS
Products. In accordance with such cooperative efforts, ESS agrees not to design,
develop, manufacture, or sell products that would compete with Komodo's products
that perform standalone voice over Internet telephony functions, for four (4)
years from the Old Effective Date.

                6.2 ESS agrees to manufacture, sell, and distribute the Modified
Products ONLY to Komodo, since such Modified Products incorporate certain Komodo
Intellectual Property Rights. ESS further agrees to hold in confidence as a
fiduciary any modifications made to ESS Base Product(s) in the development of
the Modified Product(s) and to take all necessary precautions to protect all of
Komodo's Intellectual Property Rights regarding such modifications.

                6.3 This non-compete clause under Section 6 extends to any and
all efforts made by ESS' internal engineering, research, or development groups
related to standalone Internet telephony for four (4) years from the Old
Effective Date.

        7. TERM OF AGREEMENT.

                7.1 The term of this Agreement is for five (5) years from the
Old Effective Date ("Initial Term"), unless earlier terminated as provided in
this Agreement. Thereafter, this Agreement shall renew automatically on its
anniversary date for successive one (1) year terms ("Renewal Terms") unless ESS
or Vialta receive written notice from Komodo at least thirty (30) days prior to
the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term of Komodo's intent not to renew.

        8. TERMINATION.

                8.1 Termination for Cause. If any material breach of the
Agreement by a Party continues after receipt of thirty (30) days written notice
of said breach from any other Party, the non-breaching Party may: (a) continue
this Agreement in full force and effect and seek any damages arising under this
Agreement, or (b) terminate this Agreement on written notice to the breaching
Party.

                8.2 Obligations on Termination or Expiration. Upon cancellation,
termination, or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall destroy or return
to the other Parties any of the other Party's respective proprietary information
in such Party's possession. Upon any Party's request, the other Parties shall
warrant, in writing to the requesting Party, its return or destruction of the
other's proprietary information within thirty (30) days of cancellation,
termination, or expiration.

                 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED - EDITED COPY

ESS Base Product(s) of any third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade
secret or other intellectual property right.

        11. CONFIDENTIALITY.

                11.1 Confidentiality Obligations. Either Party (the "Disclosing
Party") may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other
party (the "Recipient'). "Confidential Information" is all nonpublic information
concerning the business, technology, internal structure and strategies of the
Disclosing Party which is conveyed to the Recipient orally or in tangible form
and is either marked as "confidential" or which is identified as "confidential"
prior to disclosure. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of four
(4) years thereafter, Recipient will keep in confidence and trust and will not
disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other person working
under Recipient's direction to disclose or disseminate, the existence, source,
content or substance of any Confidential Information to any other person.
Recipient will employ at least the same methods and degree of care, but no less
than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the Confidential
Information as Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential patent
data, trade secrets and other proprietary information. Recipient's employees and
independent contractors will be given access to the Confidential Information
only on a need-to-know basis, and only if they have executed a form of
non-disclosure agreement with Recipient which imposes a duty to maintain the
confidentiality of information identified or described as confidential by
Recipient and after Recipient has expressly informed them of the confidential
nature of the Confidential Information. Recipient will not copy or load any of
the Confidential Information onto any computing device or store the Confidential
Information electronically except in circumstances in which Recipient has taken
all reasonable precautions to prevent access to the information stored on such
device or electronic storage facility by anyone other than the persons entitled
to receive the Confidential Information hereunder.

                11.2 Permitted Disclosures. The commitments in this Section 11
will not impose any obligations on Recipient with respect to any portion of the
received information which: (i) is now generally known or available or which,
hereafter through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, becomes
generally known or available; (ii) is rightfully known to Recipient at the time
of receiving such information; (iii) is furnished to Recipient by a third party
without restriction on disclosure and without Recipient having actual notice or
reason to know that the third party lacks authority to so furnish the
information; (iv) is independently developed by Recipient; or (v) is required to
be disclosed by operation of law or by an instrumentality of the government,
including but not limited to any court, tribunal or administrative agency,
provided that if Recipient is required to make any such disclosure, to the
extent it may legally do so, Recipient will give reasonable advance notice to
the Disclosing Party of such disclosure and will use diligent efforts to secure
confidential treatment of such Confidential Information prior to and after the
disclosure.

        12. GENERAL.

                12.1 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or
obligations of any Party hereunder may be assigned by any Party in whole or in
part without the prior written approval of the non-assigning Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party shall have the

without such approval in the event of (a) a sale, transfer, or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party; or (b) a change in the
persons or entities who control equity securities or voting interest of such
Party. Each and all of the covenants, terms and conditions contained within this
Agreement shall be binding upon the Party's permitted successors and assigns.

                12.2 Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of California and the United States. Except for actions
brought by third parties, any action arising out of this agreement must be
brought in either the Superior Court of the State of California in Santa Clara
County or the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising
out of this Agreement. ESS and Vialta consent to the personal jurisdiction of
the above courts.

                12.3 Severability. If any provisions or part of this Agreement
shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions or parts hereof shall remain in effect
and shall bind the Parties hereto.

                12.4 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure or
delay in performance of its obligations (except for payment obligations) under
this Agreement on account of fires, labor disputes or shortages, embargoes,
delays or failures of subcontractors, sabotage, riots, delays by carrier,
floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, acts of God, or any other cause which could not
reasonably be expected or avoided and was not brought about by such affected
Party. The affected Party's performance of the obligations shall be suspended
during the continuance of any inability to caused; but such inability shall, as
far as possible, be remedied within a reasonable period of time.

                12.5 Survivability. Sections 1, 2, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.2, 4.3, 5.2,
5.3, 6, 8.2, 9, 10, 11 and 12, as well as any payment obligations that existed
under this Agreement at the time of such termination, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall remain binding on all Parties.

                12.6 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and be delivered in person, or sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight courier service to the
addresses of the respective Parties as set forth in this Agreement, or to such
other addresses or numbers as may be stipulated in writing by the Parties.
Unless otherwise provided, notice will be effective on the date it is officially
recorded as delivered by return receipt or equivalent.

                12.7 Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement does not and
shall not be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between ESS and
Komodo, or Vialta and Komodo, and neither ESS or Vialta, nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall, by virtue of the
performance of their obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be an agent
or employee of Komodo.

                12.8 Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement.

     A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Company,
and Vishay Acquisition Corp., Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), have entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (the "Merger Agreement") which
provides for the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into Company.
Pursuant to the Merger, shares of Common Stock of Company will be converted
into 0.563 shares of Common Stock of Parent ("Parent Stock") in the manner
set forth in the Merger Agreement.

     B. The Stockholder is the record holder and/or beneficial owner (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")) of such number of shares of the outstanding Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock of Parent as is indicated on the final page
of this Agreement (collectively, the "Shares").

     C. As a material inducement to enter into the Merger Agreement,
Company desires the Stockholder to agree, and the Stockholder is willing to
agree, not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares, or any
other shares of capital stock of Parent acquired hereafter and prior to the
Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1.1 below), except as otherwise
permitted hereby, and to vote the Shares and any other such shares of
capital stock of Parent in favor of the Parent Stockholders Meetings
Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement.)

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and
representations set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Agreement to Retain Shares.
        --------------------------

          1.1 Transfer and Encumbrance. A Stockholder shall be deemed to
have effected a "Transfer" of a security if he or she directly or
indirectly: (i) sells, makes any short sales of, lends, hypothecates,
pledges, encumbers, enters into any type of equity swap or hedging of,
grants an option with respect to, transfers or disposes of such security or
any interest in such security; or (ii) enters into an agreement or
commitment providing for the sale of, making any short sale of, lending of,
pledge of, encumbrance of, equity swap or hedging of, grant of an option
with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such security or any
interest therein.

          Stockholder agrees not to Transfer (except as may be specifically
required by court order or operation of law) the Shares or any New Shares
(as defined in Section 1.2 below), or to make any offer or agreement
relating thereto, at any time prior to the Expiration Date unless each
party to which such Shares or New Shares or any interest in any of such
Shares or New Shares is or may be transferred shall have (i) executed a
counterpart of this Voting Agreement and (ii) agreed to hold such Shares or
New Shares or interest in such Shares or New Shares subject to all of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event
will Stockholder Transfer the Shares or New Shares or make any offer or
agreement relating thereto if such Transfer would result in the conversion
of any Shares or New Shares from Class B Common Stock into Common Stock or
otherwise cause a diminution of the voting power represented by the shares
subject to this Agreement and the voting agreement of the contemplated
transferee. As used herein, the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the
earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger shall become
effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger
Agreement and (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be
terminated in accordance with its terms.

          1.2 Additional Purchases. Stockholder agrees that any shares of
capital stock of Parent that Stockholder purchases or with respect to which
Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as such term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the execution of this
Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date ("New Shares") shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they
constituted Shares.

     2. Agreement to Vote Shares. At every meeting of the stockholders of
Parent called with respect to, and at every adjournment thereof, and on
every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Parent
with respect to, approval of the Parent Stockholders Meeting Proposals,
Stockholder shall vote the Shares and any New Shares in favor of the Parent
Stockholders Meeting Proposals. Stockholder agrees not to take any actions
contrary to Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement.

     3. Proxy. Stockholder hereby revokes all proxies with respect to the
Shares executed or granted on or prior to the date hereof and agrees from
and after the date of this Agreement not to grant any proxy, become party
to any voting trust or other agreement that grants any other person or
entity the right, directly or indirectly to vote the Shares or the New
Shares, in each case with respect to (i) the Parent Stockholder Meeting
Proposals, other than a proxy granted for the sole purpose of voting in
favor of such proposals or (ii) any other matter in respect of which any
action (x) which may be taken pursuant to such proxy, or (y) is required to
be taken pursuant to such voting trust or other agreement, is contrary to
the Stockholder's other obligations under this Agreement.

     4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Stockholder.
Stockholder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Company that
Stockholder (i) is the beneficial owner of the Shares, which at the date
hereof and at all times up until the Expiration Date will be free and clear
of any liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances; (ii) does not
beneficially own any shares of capital stock of Parent other than the
Shares (excluding shares as to which Stockholder currently disclaims
beneficial ownership in accordance with applicable law); and (iii) has full
power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this
Agreement.

     5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no
further force or effect as of the Expiration Date.

     6. Miscellaneous.
        -------------

          6.1 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
