         THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of May 8,
2000, and entered into by and between AMERICAN TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INC., a
Nevada corporation ("ATG"), and MICHAEL KEATING ("KEATING").

         A.  WHEREAS, ATG desires to study the application of its ScreenMagic
product to eyeglasses;

         B.  WHEREAS, KEATING is an experienced optometrist and is willing to
develop a protocol for use with his patients for such testing of ScreenMagic;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements hereinafter set forth, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

         1.  Consulting Services.  KEATING shall develop a protocol and test
ScreenMagic for its effectiveness and for consumer satisfaction for use on
eyeglasses.

         2.  TERM.  KEATING shall deliver the protocol to ATG on or before
August 31, 2000 and the test shall be complete by December 31, 2000.

         3.  COMPENSATION.  (a)  As full compensation for all services to be
performed by KEATING pursuant to this Agreement, ATG hereby grants to KEATING
the right and option (the "Option") to purchase, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, an aggregate of one hundred thousand (100,000) shares
of the common stock of ATG (the "Option Shares").  The exercise price (the
"Exercise Price") of the Option Shares is $0.21 per share, the high closing
bid price on the date hereof.

         (b) ATG shall use its best efforts to file a registration statement
covering the Option Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission within
thirty (30) days hereof and use its best efforts to cause said registration
statement to be declared effective as soon as possible.

         4.  TIME AND MANNER OF EXERCISE:  KEATING shall have the right to
purchase from ATG the Option Shares at any time and from time to time until
April 30, 2003.  The purchase shall be made by delivery to ATG of a notice of
exercise specifying the number of shares (the "Shares") to be purchased
accompanied by a check in the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price or in
lieu of a cash payment KEATING may execute such cashless exercise of the
Option as may then be permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
such that the period following the exercise of such

<PAGE>

Option for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, including, without
limitation, to make payment therefore in shares of common stock of ATG having
a fair market value on the date the notice is deemed duly given pursuant to
Section 6 hereof (the "Notice Date") equal to the option price of such shares
multiplied by the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised.
For purposes hereof, the fair market value of a share of common stock of ATG
shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked price per share over the
five trading days immediately preceding the Notice Date.  Promptly upon
receipt of such material, ATG shall cause the delivery to KEATING of an ATG
stock certificate representing the Option Shares so purchased.

         5.  KEATING'S REPRESENTATIONS:

         KEATING hereby warrants and represents to ATG as follows, each of
which representation and warranty is material and is being relied upon by ATG
and each of which is true at and as of the date hereof and upon exercise of
the Option:

         5.1  Investment Intent.  that KEATING is acquiring the Option, and
if KEATING exercises the Option will acquire the Option Shares, for KEATING'S
own account and not with a view to their resale or distribution and that
KEATING is prepared to hold the Option and the Option Shares, if acquired,
for an indefinite period and has no present intention to sell, distribute or
grant any participating interests in the Option or the Option Shares, if
acquired.  KEATING hereby acknowledges the fact that the Option Shares may
not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act") or applicable state securities laws.

         5.2  Restricted Securities.  that KEATING has been informed that the
Option and the Option Shares may not be resold or transferred unless first
registered under the Federal and applicable state securities laws or unless
an exemption from such registration is available.  Accordingly, KEATING
hereby acknowledges that KEATING is prepared to hold the Option and the
Option Shares for an indefinite period of time.

         5.3  KEATING's Knowledge.  that KEATING has a preexisting business
or personal relationship with ATG, that he is aware of the business affairs
and financial condition of ATG and that KEATING has such knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters with respect to companies in
businesses similar to ATG to enable KEATING to evaluate the risks of the
prospective investment and to make an informed investment decision with
respect thereto.  KEATING further acknowledges that ATG has made available to
KEATING the opportunity to ask

                                       2

<PAGE>

questions and receive answers from ATG concerning the terms and conditions of
the issuance of the Option and the Option Shares and that KEATING could be
reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect his own interests in
connection with such investment.

         5.4  Speculative Investment.  that KEATING realizes that his
acquisition of the Option and his purchase of the Option Shares, if at all,
will be a speculative investment and that KEATING is able, without impairing
his financial condition, to hold the Option and the Option Shares for an
indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of his investment.

     6.  NO TRANSFER:  KEATING shall not transfer, encumber, alienate or
dispose, by gift or otherwise, all or any part of the Option Shares, except
as may be permitted by law.

shares may be endorsed with a legend substantially as follows:

     EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREUNDER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY
     TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

         brought against the parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be
         governed by the provisions of this Article III and, if applicable, the
         appropriate provisions of the Contribution Agreement or the Ancillary
         Agreements; or

                  (iii) any Liability the release of which would result in the
         release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this

         (d) inSilicon shall not make, and shall not permit any of its
subsidiaries to make, any claim or demand or commence any Action asserting any
claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against
Phoenix or any member of the Phoenix Group or any other Person released pursuant
to Section 3.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section

Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

         (d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any

Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact

<PAGE>

         Section 3.4. NOTICE AND PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. If any Phoenix Indemnitee or
inSilicon Indemnitee (the "Indemnified Party") determines that it is or may be
entitled to indemnification under this Article III (other than in connection
with any Action subject to Section 3.5), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to
the Person from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"),
a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for
its claim for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified Party
reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. After the Indemnifying
Party shall have been notified of the amount for which the Indemnified Party
seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days after
receipt of such notice, either (i) pay the Indemnified Party such amount in cash
or other immediately available funds (or reach agreement with the Indemnified
Party as to a mutually agreeable alternative payment schedule) or (ii) object to
the claim for indemnification or the amount thereof by giving the Indemnified
Party written notice setting forth the grounds therefor. Any objection shall be
resolved in accordance with Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party does not give
such notice within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to
have acknowledged its liability for such claim and the Indemnified Party may
exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to collect such amount.

         Section 3.5. NOTICE AND DEFENSE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. Promptly
following the earlier of (A) receipt of written notice of the commencement by a
third party of any Action against or

                                      9
<PAGE>

otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (B) receipt of written
information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an
Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may
be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a "Third-Party Claim"), the Indemnified
Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof.
Failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section
3.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by
such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim
in reasonable detail.

         (a) Within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party
may by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (i) elect to
assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or
(ii) object to the claim of indemnification for such Third-Party Claim setting
forth the grounds therefor. Any objection shall be resolved in accordance with
Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party does not give such notice within such
30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its
liability for such Third-Party Claim.

         (b) Any defense of a Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying
Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by counsel employed
by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to Phoenix in the case of
Phoenix Indemnitees and inSilicon in the case of inSilicon Indemnitees. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to
be represented by counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party's sole
cost and expense; PROVIDED that if the defendants or parties against which
relief is sought in any such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one
or more Indemnified Parties and, in the reasonable judgment of Phoenix in the
case of Phoenix Indemnitees and inSilicon in the case of inSilicon Indemnitees,
a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Parties and such Indemnifying
Party exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Parties shall have the
right to employ one firm of counsel selected by Phoenix for Phoenix Indemnitees
or inSilicon for inSilicon Indemnitees and in that event the reasonable fees and
expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such
Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a
Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; PROVIDED that
without the prior written consent of Phoenix in the case of Phoenix Indemnitees
and inSilicon in the case of inSilicon Indemnitees, the Indemnifying Party may
not agree to any such settlement unless as a condition to such settlement the
Indemnified Party receives a written release from any and all liability relating
to such Third-Party Claim and such settlement or compromise does not include any
remedy or relief to be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, other than
monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible
hereunder.

         (c) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a
Third-Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification
under this Article III, Phoenix in the case of Phoenix Indemnitees and inSilicon
in the case of inSilicon Indemnitees may pursue the defense of such Third-Party
Claim and choose one firm of counsel in connection therewith. The Indemnifying
Party is required to reimburse Phoenix or inSilicon, as the case may be, on a
current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Phoenix in the
case of Phoenix Indemnitees and

                                      10
<PAGE>

inSilicon in the case of inSilicon Indemnitees in defending against such
Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result
obtained with respect thereto, PROVIDED that the Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable for any settlement effected without the consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         (d) The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash
the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if
any) no later than the later of (i) the date on which the Indemnified Party
makes any payment in satisfaction (partial or otherwise) of the Third-Party
Claim or (ii) the date on which such Indemnifying Party's objection, if any, to
its responsibility for indemnification under this Article III has been resolved
pursuant to Article VI or by settlement or compromise or the final nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

         Section 3.6. INSURANCE PROCEEDS. The amount that any Indemnifying Party
is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article
III shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any
insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Parties in reduction of the related Liability. If an Indemnified
Party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from an
Indemnifying Party in respect of a Liability and shall subsequently actually
receive insurance proceeds, or other amounts in respect of such Liability as
specified above, then such Indemnified Party shall pay to such Indemnifying
Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts
actually received after deducting therefrom all of the Indemnifying Party's
costs and expenses associated with such Liability.

         Section 3.7. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this
Article III is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liability
arising out of or related to information contained in or omitted from the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, then the inSilicon Indemnitees, or
Phoenix Indemnitees, as the case may be, in lieu of indemnifying the Phoenix
Indemnitees or inSilicon Indemnitees, as the case may be, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by the Phoenix Indemnitees or inSilicon Indemnitees,
as the case may be, as a result of such Liability in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of inSilicon, on the one hand, and
Phoenix, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such Liability. If the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information pertaining solely to Phoenix, then Phoenix shall bear any
resulting Liability; otherwise, inSilicon shall bear any resulting Liability.

         Section 3.8. SUBROGATION. In the event of payment by an Indemnifying
Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the first place of
such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which
such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party
Claim. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a
reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in
prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

         Section 3.9. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Article III shall inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by Phoenix, the Phoenix Indemnitees,
inSilicon and the inSilicon Indemnitees

                                      11
<PAGE>

and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The indemnification
provided for by this Article III shall not inure to the benefit of any other
third party or parties and shall not relieve any insurer who would otherwise
be obligated to pay any claim of the responsibility with respect thereto or,
solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, provide any
subrogation rights with respect thereto and each party agrees to waive such
rights against the other to the fullest extent permitted.

         Section 3.10. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies provided in this
Article III shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any
Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other
remedies against an Indemnifying Party. The procedures set forth in this Article
III, however, shall be the exclusive procedures governing any indemnity action
brought under this Article III or otherwise relating to Liabilities.

         Section 3.11. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. The rights and obligations of
each of Phoenix and inSilicon and their respective Indemnitees under this
Article III shall survive the sale or other transfer by it of any assets or
businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

         Section 3.12. AFTER-TAX INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or in an
Ancillary Agreement, indemnification payments made by either party under this
Article shall give effect to, and be reduced by the value of, any and all
applicable deductions, losses, credits, offsets or other items for Federal,
state or other Tax purposes attributable to the payment of the indemnified
Liability by the Indemnified Party.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           CERTAIN ADDITIONAL MATTERS

         Section 4.1. COMPANY OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS. On or prior to
the Closing Date, Phoenix shall take and shall cause inSilicon to take all
actions necessary to appoint as officers and directors of inSilicon those
persons named in the Registration Statement to constitute the officers and
directors of inSilicon on the Closing Date.

         Section 4.2. THE COMPANY CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. Prior
to the Closing Date, Phoenix shall take all action necessary to cause the
Company Certificate and Company Bylaws to be amended and restated substantially
in the form attached to the Registration Statement as exhibits thereto.

         Section 4.3.      INSURANCE POLICIES AND CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION.

         (a) MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE COVERAGE PRIOR TO SEPARATION DATE. Phoenix
and inSilicon shall use reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect
at all times up to and including the Separation Date and for the periods set
forth in the Services and Cost-Sharing Agreement, its current property and
casualty insurance programs, including, without limitation, primary and excess
general liability, automobile, workers' compensation, property and crime
insurance policies (collectively, the "Policies" and individually, a "Policy").
inSilicon and its subsidiaries shall retain with respect to any insured claims
relating to periods before the

                                      12
<PAGE>

Separation Date or termination of the applicable period set forth in the
Services and Cost-Sharing Agreement with respect to each such Policy
(whichever is later), all of their respective rights, benefits and
privileges, if any, under such Policies. To the extent not already provided
for by the terms of a Policy, Phoenix shall use reasonable efforts to cause
inSilicon and its subsidiaries, as appropriate, to be named as additional
insureds under such Policy in respect of Covered Claims arising or relating
to periods prior to the Separation Date or termination of the applicable
period set forth in the Services and Cost-Sharing Agreement with respect to
each such Policy (whichever is later); PROVIDED, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be construed to require Phoenix or any of its
subsidiaries to pay any additional premium or other charges in respect to, or
waive or otherwise limit any of its rights, benefits or privileges under, any
such Policy to effect the naming of inSilicon and its subsidiaries as such
additional insureds except as required by the Services and Cost-Sharing
Agreement and then only to the extent the charge, if any, is borne by
inSilicon.

         (b) COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING INSURANCE COVERAGE ON AND
AFTER SEPARATION DATE. Except as provided under the Services and Cost-Sharing
Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, commencing on and as of the
Separation Date, inSilicon and each of its subsidiaries shall be responsible for
establishing and maintaining its own separate insurance programs (including,
without limitation, primary and excess general liability, automobile, workers,
compensation, property, director and officer liability, fire, crime, surety and
other similar insurance policies) for activities and claims relating to any
period on or after the Separation Date involving inSilicon or any of its
subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other agreement or understanding to the
contrary, except as set forth in the Services and Cost-Sharing Agreement or any
such Ancillary Agreement or Section 4.3(c) with respect to claims administration
and financial administration of the Policies, neither Phoenix nor any of its
subsidiaries shall have any responsibility for or obligation to inSilicon or its
subsidiaries relating to liability and casualty insurance matters for any
period, whether before, at or after the Separation Date except to the extent set
forth in the Services and Cost-Sharing Agreement.

         (c) ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURE. (i) Phoenix or a subsidiary of
Phoenix, as appropriate, shall be responsible for the claims administration and
financial administration of all Policies for insured claims relating to the
assets, ownership or operation of the Business prior to the Separation Date or
termination of the applicable period set forth in the Services and Cost-Sharing
Agreement with respect to each such Policy (whichever is later); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such retention by Phoenix of the Policies and the responsibility
for claims administration and financial administration of the Policies are in no
way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for
any insured claims under the Policies by inSilicon. Phoenix shall direct each
insurance carrier to pay to inSilicon any proceeds for the insured claims of
inSilicon or, if Phoenix receives such proceeds, it shall forward them promptly
to inSilicon. inSilicon or a subsidiary thereof, as appropriate, shall be
responsible for all administrative and financial matters relating to insurance
policies established and maintained by inSilicon and its subsidiaries for claims
relating to any period on or after the Separation Date involving inSilicon or
any of its subsidiaries.

                  (ii) inSilicon shall notify Phoenix of any insured claim
         relating to inSilicon or a subsidiary thereof under one or more of the
         Policies, and inSilicon agrees to cooperate and coordinate with Phoenix
         concerning any strategy Phoenix may reasonably elect to

                                      13
<PAGE>

         pursue to secure coverage and payment for such insured claim by the
         appropriate insurance carrier. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         Phoenix shall not be entitled to settle any insured claim relating
         to inSilicon or a subsidiary thereof without inSilicon's consent,
         which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (iii) inSilicon or an appropriate subsidiary thereof shall
         assume responsibility for, and shall pay to the appropriate insurance
         carriers or otherwise, any premiums, retrospectively-rated premiums,
         defense costs, indemnity payments, deductibles, retentions or other
         charges, as appropriate (collectively, "Insurance Charges"), whenever
         arising, which shall become due and payable under the terms and
         conditions of any applicable Policy in respect of any liabilities,
         losses, claims, actions or occurrences, whenever arising or becoming
         known, involving or relating to any of the assets, businesses,
         operations or liabilities of inSilicon or any of its subsidiaries, to
         the extent set forth in Section 4.3(a) and any such charges that relate
         to the period after the Separation Date or, if later, termination of
         the applicable period set forth in the Services and Cost-Sharing
         Agreement with respect to each such Policy. To the extent that the
         terms of any applicable Policy provide that Phoenix or a subsidiary
         thereof, as appropriate, shall have an obligation to pay or guarantee
         the payment of any Insurance Charges, Phoenix or such subsidiary shall
         be entitled to demand that inSilicon or a subsidiary thereof make such
         payment directly to the Person entitled thereto. In connection with any
         such demand, Phoenix shall submit to inSilicon or a subsidiary thereof
         a copy of any invoice received by Phoenix or a subsidiary pertaining to
         such Insurance Charges, together with appropriate supporting
         documentation, if available. In the event that inSilicon or its
         subsidiary fails to pay any Insurance Charges when due and payable,
         whether at the request of the party entitled to payment or upon demand
         by Phoenix or a subsidiary of Phoenix, Phoenix or a subsidiary of
         Phoenix may (but shall not be required to) pay such Insurance Charges
         for and on behalf of inSilicon or its subsidiary and, thereafter,
         inSilicon or its subsidiary shall forthwith reimburse Phoenix or such
         subsidiary of Phoenix for such payment.

         Section 4.4. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Each party agrees not to
directly solicit or recruit the other party's employees for a period of one year
after the Separation Date if such solicitation or recruitment would be
disruptive or damaging or would interfere with the operation or business of the
other party. This prohibition on solicitation does not apply to actions taken by
a party (i) as a result of an employee's affirmative response to a general
recruitment effort carried out through a public solicitation or a general
solicitation or (ii) as a result of an employee's initiative.

                                    ARTICLE V

                              ACCESS TO INFORMATION

         Section 5.1. AGREEMENT FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. Each of Phoenix and
inSilicon agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to each other, at any time
before or after the Separation Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after
written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control
of such party that the requesting party reasonably needs (i)

                                      14
<PAGE>

to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on
the requesting party (including under applicable securities laws) by a
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting party, (ii)
for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding
or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or
other similar requirements, (iii) to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or any ancillary Agreement or (iv) in
connection with the ongoing businesses of Phoenix or inSilicon, as the case
may be; provided, however, that in the event that any party determines that
any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental, violate
any law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege, the parties
shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such
obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

         (a) INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS; FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Except as
provided in the Services and Cost-Sharing Agreement, after the Separation Date,
(i) each party shall maintain in effect at its own cost and expense adequate
systems and controls for its business to the extent necessary to enable the
other party to satisfy its reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations,
and (ii) each party shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other party
and its subsidiaries in such form as such requesting party shall request, at no
charge to the requesting party, all financial and other data and information as
the requesting party determines necessary or advisable in order to prepare its
financial statements and reports or filings with any Governmental Authority.

         (b) OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION. Any Information owned by a party that is
provided to a requesting party pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to
remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth
herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or
conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

         (c) RECORD RETENTION. To facilitate the possible exchange of
Information pursuant to this Section 5.1 and other provisions of this Agreement
after the Separation Date, each party agrees to use its reasonable commercial
efforts to retain all Information in their respective possession or control on
the Separation Date substantially in accordance with the policies of Phoenix as
in effect on the Separation Date. However, except as set forth in the Tax
Sharing Agreement, at any time after the Separation Date, each party may amend
their respective record retention policies at such party's discretion; PROVIDED,
however, that if a party desires to effect the amendment within three (3) years
after the Separation Date, the amending party must give thirty (30) days prior
written notice of such change in the policy to the other party to this
Agreement. No party will destroy, or permit any of its subsidiaries to destroy,
any Information that exists on the Separation Date (other than Information that
is permitted to be destroyed under the current record retention policy of
Phoenix) without first using its reasonable commercial efforts to notify the
other party of the proposed destruction and giving the other party the
opportunity to take possession of such Information prior to such destruction.

         (d) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No party shall have any liability to any
other party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to
this Section 5.1 is found to be inaccurate, in the absence of willful misconduct
by the party providing such Information. No party shall have any liability to
any other party if any Information is destroyed or lost after reasonable
commercial efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of Section
5.1(c).

                                      15
<PAGE>

         (e) OTHER AGREEMENTS PROVIDING FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. The rights
and obligations granted under this Section 5.1 are subject to any specific
limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or
confidential treatment of Information set forth in this Agreement, the
Contribution Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement.

         (f) PRODUCTION OF WITNESSES; RECORDS; COOPERATION. After the Separation
Date, except in the case of a legal or other proceeding by one party against the
other party, each party shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to make
available to the other party, upon written request, the former, current and
future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of such party
as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or
which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any
such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors,
officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other
documents may reasonably be required in connection with any legal,
administrative or other proceeding in which the requesting party may from time
to time be involved, regardless of whether such legal, administrative or other
proceeding is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought
hereunder. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection
therewith.

         Section 5.2. AUDITORS AND AUDITS; ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY STATEMENTS AND
ACCOUNTING. Each party agrees that, for so long as Phoenix is required in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles to
consolidate inSilicon's results of operations and financial position:

         (a) SELECTION OF AUDITORS. inSilicon shall not select a different
accounting firm than Ernst & Young LLP (or its successors) to serve as its (and
its subsidiaries') independent certified public accountants ("inSilicon's
Auditors") for purposes of providing an opinion on its consolidated financial
statements without Phoenix's prior written consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld).

         (b) DATE OF AUDITORS' OPINION AND QUARTERLY REVIEWS. inSilicon shall
use its reasonable commercial efforts to enable the inSilicon Auditors to
complete their audit such that they will date their opinion on inSilicon's
audited annual financial statements on the same date that Phoenix's independent
certified public accountants ("Phoenix's Auditors") date their opinion on
Phoenix's audited annual financial statements, and to enable Phoenix to meet its
timetable for the printing, filing and public Dissemination of Phoenix's annual
financial statements. inSilicon shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
enable the inSilicon Auditors to complete their quarterly review procedures such
that they will provide clearance on inSilicon's quarterly financial statements
on the same date that Phoenix's Auditors provide clearance on Phoenix's
quarterly financial statements.

         (c) ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. inSilicon shall provide
to Phoenix on a timely basis all Information that Phoenix reasonably requires to
meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and public
dissemination of Phoenix's annual and quarterly financial statements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, inSilicon will provide all required
financial Information with respect to inSilicon and its subsidiaries to
inSilicon's Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient
detail to permit inSilicon's Auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews
necessary to provide sufficient assistance to Phoenix's Auditors

                                      16
<PAGE>

with respect to Information to be included or contained in Phoenix's annual
and quarterly financial statements. Similarly, Phoenix shall provide to
inSilicon on a timely basis all Information that inSilicon reasonably
requires to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and
public dissemination of inSilicon's annual and quarterly financial
statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Phoenix will
provide all required financial Information with respect to Phoenix and its
subsidiaries to Phoenix's Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in
sufficient detail to permit Phoenix's Auditors to take all steps and perform
all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to inSilicon's
Auditors with respect to Information to be included or contained in
inSilicon's annual and quarterly financial statements.

         (d) IDENTITY OF PERSONNEL PERFORMING THE ANNUAL AUDIT AND QUARTERLY
REVIEWS. inSilicon shall authorize inSilicon's Auditors to make available to
Phoenix's Auditors both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual
audits and quarterly reviews of inSilicon and work papers related to the annual
audits and quarterly reviews of inSilicon, in all cases within a reasonable time
prior to inSilicon's Auditors' opinion date, so that Phoenix's Auditors are able
to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the
work of inSilicon's Auditors as it relates to Phoenix's Auditors' report on
Phoenix's financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable Phoenix to
meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of
Phoenix's annual and quarterly statements. Similarly, Phoenix shall authorize
Phoenix's Auditors to make available to inSilicon's Auditors both the personnel
who performed or are performing the annual audits and quarterly reviews of
Phoenix and work papers related to the annual audits and quarterly reviews of
Phoenix, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the Auditors' opinion
date, so that inSilicon's Auditors are able to perform the procedures they
consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of Phoenix's Auditors as
it relates to inSilicon's Auditors' report on inSilicon's statements, all within
sufficient time to enable inSilicon to meet its timetable for the printing,
filing and public dissemination of inSilicon's annual and quarterly financial
statements.

         (e) ACCESS TO BOOKS AND RECORDS. inSilicon shall provide Phoenix's
internal auditors and their designees access to inSilicon's and its
subsidiaries' books and records so that Phoenix may conduct reasonable audits
relating to the financial statements provided by inSilicon pursuant hereto as
well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of inSilicon and its
subsidiaries. Similarly, Phoenix shall provide inSilicon's internal auditors and
their designees access to Phoenix's and its subsidiaries' books and records so
that inSilicon may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial
statements provided by Phoenix pursuant hereto as well as to the internal
accounting controls and operations of Phoenix and its subsidiaries.

         (f) NOTICE OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. inSilicon shall give
Phoenix as much prior notice as reasonably practical of any proposed
determination of, or any significant changes in, its accounting estimates or
accounting principles from those in effect on the Separation Date. inSilicon
will consult with Phoenix and, if requested by Phoenix, inSilicon will consult
with Phoenix's independent public accountants with respect thereto. Phoenix
shall give inSilicon as much prior notice as reasonably practical of any
proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, its accounting
estimates or accounting principles from those in effect on the Separation Date.

                                      17
<PAGE>

         (g) CONFLICT WITH THIRD-PARTY AGREEMENTS. Nothing in Sections 5.1 and
5.2 shall require inSilicon to violate any agreement with any third parties
regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary Information
relating to that third party or its business; PROVIDED, however, that in the
event that inSilicon is required under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 to disclose any such
Information, inSilicon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to
obtain such customer's consent to the disclosure of such Information.

         Section 5.3.      CONFIDENTIALITY; PROTECTION.

         (a) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, each party and each of its subsidiaries shall hold and shall
cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and
advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial
or administrative process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other
requirements of law, all Information concerning the other party (except to the
extent that such Information can be shown to have been (i) in the public domain
through no fault of such party, (ii) later lawfully acquired on a
non-confidential basis from other sources by the party to which it was
furnished, (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or
confidential Information of the other party, or (iv) Information that may be
disclosed pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement). Neither party shall release or
disclose any such Information to any other Person, except its auditors,
attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors who
shall be advised of and agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.3.
For purposes of this Section 5.3, confidential Information of third parties that
is known to, in the possession of or acquired by a party shall be deemed
Information of that party.

         (b) PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS. In the event that either party (or any of
its subsidiaries) either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is
required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable law or receives any
demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or
provide information of the other party (or any of its subsidiaries) that is
subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such party shall notify the
other party prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall
cooperate at the expense of the requesting party in seeking any reasonable
protective arrangements requested by such other party. Subject to the foregoing,
the Person that received such request may thereafter disclose or provide
Information to the extent required by such law (as so advised by counsel) or by
lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

         Section 5.4. MAIL. After the Separation Date, each of Phoenix and
inSilicon may receive mail and other communications properly belonging to the
other. Accordingly, at all times after the Separation Date, each of Phoenix and
inSilicon authorizes the other to receive and open all mail and other
communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for the other party
or any of the other party's officers or directors specifically in their
capacities as such, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to the
business of the receiving party or, to the extent that they do not relate to the
business of the receiving party and do relate to the business of the other
party, or to the extent that they relate to both businesses, the receiving party
shall promptly contact the other party by telephone for delivery instructions
and such mail or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both
businesses, copies thereof) shall promptly be forwarded to the other party in
accordance with its delivery instructions. The foregoing

                                      18
<PAGE>

provisions of this Section 5.4 shall constitute full authorization to the
postal authorities and courier companies and all other persons to make
deliveries to Phoenix or inSilicon, as the case may be, addressed to either
of them or to any of their officers or directors specifically in their
capacities as such. The provisions of this Section 5.4 are not intended to
and shall not be deemed to constitute an authorization by either Phoenix or
inSilicon to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf, and
neither party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service
of process purposes or for any other purpose.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         Section 6.1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Except as otherwise set forth in any
Ancillary Agreement, resolution of any and all disputes arising from or in
connection with this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, or otherwise
(collectively, "Disputes"), shall be exclusively governed by and settled in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1.

         (a) NEGOTIATION. The parties shall make a good faith attempt to resolve
any Dispute arising out of, relating to or resulting from this Agreement through
negotiation. Within thirty (30) days after notice of a Dispute is given by
either party to the other party, each party shall select a first tier
negotiating team comprised of vice president level employees of such party and
shall meet and make a good faith attempt to resolve such Dispute and shall
continue to negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute or
renegotiate the applicable section or provision without the necessity of any
formal proceedings. If the first tier negotiating teams are unable to agree
within thirty (30) days of their first meeting, then each party shall select a
second tier negotiating team comprised of the chief executive officers of such
party and shall meet within thirty (30) days after the end of the first thirty
(30) day negotiating period to attempt to resolve the matter. During the course
of negotiations under this Section 6.1(a), all reasonable requests made by one
party to the other for Information, including requests for copies of relevant
documents, will be honored. The specific format for such negotiations will be
left to the discretion of the designated negotiating teams but may include the
preparation of agreed upon statements of fact or written statements of position
furnished to the other party.

         (b) NON-BINDING MEDIATION. In the event that any Dispute arising out of
or related to this Agreement is not settled by the parties within fifteen (15)
days after the first meeting of the second tier negotiating teams under Section
6.1(a), the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by
non-binding mediation in accordance with the American Arbitration Association
Commercial Mediation Rules. The mediation shall be held within thirty (30) days
of the end of such fifteen (15) day negotiation period of the second tier
negotiating teams. Except as provided below in Section 6.1(c), no litigation for
the resolution of such dispute may be commenced until the parties try in good
faith to settle the dispute by such mediation in accordance with such rules and
either party has concluded in good faith that amicable resolution through
continued mediation of the matter does not appear likely. The costs of mediation
shall be shared equally by the parties to the mediation. Any settlement reached
by mediation shall be recorded in writing, signed by the parties, and shall be
binding on them.

                                      19

<PAGE>

         (c) PROCEEDINGS. Nothing herein, however, shall prohibit either party
from initiating litigation or other judicial or administrative proceedings if
such party would be substantially harmed by a failure to act during the time
that such good faith efforts are being made to resolve the Dispute through
negotiation or mediation. In the event that litigation is commenced under this
Section 6.1(c), the parties agree to continue to attempt to resolve any Dispute
according to the terms of Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) during the course of such
litigation proceedings under this Section 6.1(c).

         (d) PAY AND DISPUTE. Except as provided herein or in any Ancillary
Agreement, in the event of any dispute regarding payment of a third-party
invoice (subject to standard verification of receipt of products or services),
the party named in a third party's invoice must make timely payment to such
third party, even if the party named in the invoice desires to pursue the
dispute resolution procedures outlined in this Section 6.1. If the party that
paid the invoice is found pursuant to this Section 6.1 to not be responsible for
such payment, such paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement, with
interest accrued at the prime interest rate announced by Bank of America NT&SA
plus one percent per annum compounded monthly for the period such amount remains
unpaid from the party found responsible for such payment.

         Section 6.2. CONTINUITY OF SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing, the parties will continue to provide service and honor all
other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the
course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI with
respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                       STANDSTILL; COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

         Section 7.1. STANDSTILL. Phoenix agrees that so long as Phoenix
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of
inSilicon's outstanding voting securities, it shall not acquire by purchases in
"brokers' transactions" (as defined in the Securities Act) or in transactions
directly with a "market maker" (as defined in the Exchange Act) during any
twelve (12-) month period shares of Common Stock that exceed two percent (2%) of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the commencement of that
period, without inSilicon's prior consent.

         Section 7.2.      NON-COMPETE.

         (a) During the "Phoenix Restricted Period," as defined below, Phoenix
agrees it will not carry on or become involved, directly or indirectly (whether
as owner, partner, agent, consultant or stockholder) in any business or activity
competitive with any business conducted by inSilicon as of the Separation Date
without the consent of inSilicon. For this purpose, the "Phoenix Restricted
Period" for any business or activity conducted by inSilicon as of the Separation
Date means the earliest of (i) November 30, 2004, (ii) the date Phoenix no
longer owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent (10%) or more of inSilicon's
outstanding voting securities and (iii) the date on which inSilicon no longer
engages in such business or activity.

                                      20
<PAGE>

         (b) During the "inSilicon Restricted Period," as defined below,
inSilicon agrees it will not carry on or become involved, directly or indirectly
(whether as owner, partner, agent, consultant or stockholder) in any business or
activity competitive with any business conducted by Phoenix as of the Separation
Date (other than the Business) without the consent of Phoenix. For this purpose,
the "inSilicon Restricted Period" for any business or activity conducted by
Phoenix as of the Separation Date means the earliest of (i) November 30, 2004,
(ii) the date Phoenix no longer owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent (10%)
or more of inSilicon's outstanding voting securities and (iii) the date on which
Phoenix no longer engages in such business or activity.

         (c) Each of Phoenix and inSilicon agrees that it will not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any request by the other to carry on or become involved
in any business or activity competitive with any business conducted by the other
as of the Separation Date, which request relates to activities which occur
following a "change in control" of the requesting party. For this purpose, a
"change of control" shall be deemed to have occurred on the earliest date on or
by which (i) the beneficial ownership of the equity securities of the affected
party on the part of any Person or group (other than Phoenix in the case of
inSilicon), together with the beneficial ownership thereof on the part of the
affiliates and/or associates of such Person or group, first equals or exceeds
fifty percent (50%) of the equity securities of the affected party or (ii) any
Person or group acquires assets of the affected party, which together with any
assets acquired from such party by any affiliates and/or associates of such
Person or group constitute fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of the
affected party. A party shall not be deemed to be "unreasonable" in withholding
its consent if the Person acquiring control of a party competes with the party
from which consent is sought.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 8.1. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated and/or the
Initial Public Offering may be deferred, modified or abandoned at any time prior
to the Closing Date by and in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of
Phoenix without the approval of inSilicon. In the event of such termination, no
party hereto (or any of its respective directors or officers) shall have any
liability to any other party pursuant to this Agreement.

         Section 8.2. EXPENSES. Except as specifically provided in Services and
Cost-Sharing Agreement or in this Agreement and except for the expenses of
Phoenix that are not third party expenses, all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the interpretation, execution, delivery and implementation of
this Agreement and with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be paid by inSilicon. The expenses payable by inSilicon
shall include without limitation the filing, legal, accounting, printing and
other out-of-pocket expenditures in connection with (i) the preparation,
printing and filing of the Registration Statement and (ii) sale of the shares of
Common Stock in the Initial Public Offering, including, without limitation,

Underwriting Agreement, and all of the costs of producing, printing, mailing and
otherwise distributing the Prospectus.
