                    AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SHARES

         This share purchase agreement (the "Agreement"), dated July 13, 1998,
is entered into between Lockheed Martin Corporation, a Maryland corporation,
having offices at 5600 Sand Lake Road, Orlando, Florida 32819 ("Lockheed") and
Triton Network Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having offices at 7547
Commerce Center Drive, Orlando, Florida 32819 ("Triton").

         Whereas Lockheed has purchased 800,000 shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock of Triton at a purchase price of $2.50 per share and has
received 1,600,000 shares of Triton Common Stock in exchange for termination of
Lockheed's royalty rights under the license agreement between Lockheed and
Triton dated June 12, 1997.

         Whereas Triton has indicated that the issuance of the 1,600,000 shares
of Common Stock to Lockheed is contingent on the purchase of an additional
1,600,000 shares of Triton Series B Preferred Stock by Lockheed at a purchase
price of $2.50 per share.

         The parties agree as follows:

         1. Purchase of Additional Shares. On or before January 31, 1999,
Lockheed will have purchased an additional 1,600,000 shares of Triton Series B
Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share. The purchase and sale
of such shares shall be accomplished by a Series B Preferred Stock purchase
agreement substantially similar to that entered into by Triton and Lockheed on
July 31, 1998.

         2. Failure to Purchase Additional Shares. In the event Triton and
Lockheed do not consummate the sale of the Triton Series B Preferred Stock on
or before January 31, 1999, then the royalty payments due to Lockheed from
Triton under the License Agreement dated June 12, 1997 shall be treated as
having been fully paid up and Lockheed shall forfeit any right to receive any
royalty payments.

         3. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, made and to be performed
entirely within the State of Delaware.

(i) listed on Schedule 2.2 or (ii) that relate to goods and services purchased
prior to the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business and delivered or
performed after the Effective Date. IBM shall remain responsible for any other
accounts payable incurred by it prior to the Effective Date.

2.3   (a) TRITON shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of IBM except
for those liabilities which TRITON expressly assumes pursuant to this
Agreement. On the Effective Date, TRITON will assume the following rights,
obligations and liabilities of IBM (collectively, the "Assumed Liabilities")

accordance with their respective terms: (i) all rights and obligations under
the Acquired Contracts, the Vendor Contracts, the Holder Agreements and the
Deliverables to the extent that such contracts are actually assigned to TRITON
and only with respect to obligations under those contracts to be performed

consents to the transfer and assignment of the Acquired Assets and Assumed
Liabilities to TRITON, and the novation of IBM, where the approval or other
consent of any other Person may be required for these actions. TRITON shall
cooperate with IBM (including, where necessary, entering into appropriate
instruments of assumption as shall be agreed upon) to have IBM released from
all liability to third parties with respect to the Assumed Liabilities, and the
Parties will each solicit such releases concurrently in a manner acceptable to
both Parties, with the solicitation of consents from third parties to the
transfer, assignment and novation of the Assumed Liabilities;

                                      11

consideration to any third party in order to obtain any such consent, novation,
assumption or release.

2.4 On the Effective Date, IBM shall deliver to TRITON one copy each of the
Deliverable Documentation.

2.5 On the Effective Date, IBM and TRITON shall enter into the Sublease
Agreement and the EDA Program Agreement.

2.6 Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, the Parties agree to enter
a foundry agreement no later than December 31, 2000, under which IBM will
manufacture products for TRITON under IBM's then-standard commercial terms and
conditions, including pricing.

2.7 For a period of 18 months following the Effective Date, IBM agrees to
provide to Triton, without charge and upon the receipt of appropriate orders,
SiGe services (prototype wafer runs and development services) having an
aggregate value of up to $1,850,000 (one million, eight hundred fifty thousand
dollars), based upon IBM's standard commercial terms and conditions, including
pricing and delivery. Any taxes on such services shall be the responsibility of
Triton. Any contracts entered into under this Section 2.7 may be completed
beyond the 18 month period.

SECTION 3.   PERSONNEL

3.1 (a) TRITON agrees that it will make written offers of employment, subject
to the closing of this transaction, to all Affected Employees within four days
of the date of this agreement and employ, subject to the closing of this
transaction, those who accept employment within four days of receiving those
written offers. TRITON will employ such persons at the same salaries and
initially at the same or substantially similar positions as their current
positions, provided that TRITON's ability to reassign and redeploy employees
will not be limited. TRITON will provide all Affected Employees who accept
employment the benefits described in Schedule 3.1 and similar terms and
conditions, including a benefit plan as outlined in Schedule 3.1. Prior periods
of employment with IBM will be considered as employment with the TRITON for the
calculation of severance pay. During the first year after the Effective Date,
TRITON shall implement the following severance pay practice for the Affected
Employees: if an Affected Employee is involuntarily severed without cause from
full-time employment with TRITON, such Affected Employee shall receive one (1)
week of severance pay for each six (6) months of service fully or partially
completed with TRITON or with IBM, with a minimum of eight (8) weeks and a
maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks. Each week of severance pay will be an amount
equal to one week of such Affected Employee's total cash employment
compensation from TRITON for full-time employment. For one year from the
Effective Date, TRITON agrees that it will not change this severance pay
practice as applied to the Affected Employees.

                                      12
<PAGE>   13

      (b)  TRITON shall offer the Affected Employees three weeks of paid
vacation per year. Upon separation from IBM, Affected Employees shall be paid
by IBM for vacation accrued, plus previously deferred vacation, less vacation
taken.

      (c)  As of the Effective Date, TRITON shall be responsible for all
employer obligations incurred by TRITON in accordance with Section 3.1(a) or
otherwise in accordance with law for the post-Effective Date period for all
Affected Employees who accept employment with TRITON. Such obligations include,
without limitation, COBRA obligations and damages or settlements arising out of
any claims of wrongful termination by TRITON. IBM will remain responsible for
all employer obligations for the Affected Employees incurred by IBM prior to
the Effective Date. IBM will remain responsible for the Affected Employees who
do not accept employment with TRITON.

3.2   In the event that IBM effects a reduction or cessation of the operations
or workforce that exists to service or support the Acquired Assets prior to the
Effective Date, IBM shall perform and undertake all acts as may be necessary to
comply with the applicable provisions of the WARN Act and any analogous state
laws. In the event that TRITON effects a reduction or cessation of the
operations or workforce that exist to service or support the Acquired Assets
subsequent to the Effective Date, TRITON shall perform and undertake all acts
as may be necessary to comply with the applicable provisions of the WARN Act
and analogous state laws.

3.3   IBM is a party to three (3) government-related contracts (the "Government
Contracts"), which are not being assigned or transferred to TRITON, but which
are being performed, in whole or in part, by the Affected Employees identified
in Schedule 3.3 (collectively, the "Support Employees"). In the event that any
Support Employee accepts employment with Triton on or after the Effective Date,
the Parties agree that IBM may, at any time thereafter, hire and use any such
Support Employee to work on the Government Contracts in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the Letter Agreement, which will be signed by
the Parties at Closing.

SECTION 4.    CLOSING

4.1   In consideration for the assets, licenses and other rights to be
transferred to TRITON, TRITON shall issue to IBM five million five hundred
thousand (5,500,000) shares of TRITON's Series C Preferred Stock (the
"Shares"), which will represent, after the issuance of these shares at Closing,
approximately 8.8% of the ownership of TRITON on a fully diluted basis, subject
to Section 11.23, and IBM shall become party to TRITON's existing Investor
Rights Agreement.

4.2   The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the
Closing") shall be held at the offices of IBM, at 10:00 a.m. on the date which
is two business days following satisfaction or waiver of the last condition to
effectiveness of sale and license set forth in Section 14 hereof, or such other
time and place as the parties may agree (the "Closing Date").

                                      13
<PAGE>   14

(a)   the Parties shall execute and deliver the Bill of Sale;
(b)   TRITON shall deliver a certificate for the Shares;
(c)   The parties shall execute and deliver the Investor Rights Agreement;
(d)   The Parties shall execute and deliver the Assignment and Assumption

SECTION 5. TAX MATTERS

5.1   TRITON and IBM hereby agree to the tax-basis allocation of the Purchase
Price set forth in Schedule 5.1 (the "Allocation Statement"), allocating the
total of the Purchase Price (and other payments properly treated as additional
Purchase Price for Tax purposes) to the different transferred assets pursuant
to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

5.2   TRITON and IBM shall each file all income, franchise and other Tax
Returns (as defined below) in a manner consistent with the Allocation
Statement. TRITON shall prepare Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Internal
Revenue Code based on Schedule 5.1 and deliver such Form and all documentation
used in the preparation and support of such Form to IBM within 90 days after
the Effective Date.

5.3   IBM shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the
appropriate authorities all Tax returns, reports and forms (herein "Tax
Returns") and shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all Taxes relating to
the Deliverables and the ownership of the Acquired Assets attributable to any
taxable period which ends on or prior to the Effective Date (herein
"Pre-Closing Tax Period"). TRITON shall prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns, and shall
pay, or cause to be paid, when due all Taxes relating to the Deliverables
attributable to any taxable period which is not part of the Pre-Closing Tax
Period. If, in order to properly prepare its Tax Returns or other documents
required to be filed with Governmental Authorities or in connection with any
audit by any taxing authority or other examination by any taxing authority or
any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to any liability for Taxes,
it is necessary that a party be furnished with additional information,
documents or records relating to the Deliverables, both IBM and TRITON agree to
use reasonable efforts to furnish or make available such nonprivileged
information at the other's request, cost and expense; provided, however, that
neither party shall be entitled to review or examine the Tax Returns of the
other party.

For purposes of this Section 5.3, in the case of any taxable period that
includes (but does not end on) the Effective Date (a "Straddle Period"), the
Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period prior to and including the
Effective Date (the "Pre-Effective Date Tax Period") shall be computed as if
the Pre-Effective Date Tax Period ended as of the close of business on the
Effective Date and the amount of Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period
following the Effective Date shall be the excess, if any, of (x) the Taxes for
the Straddle Period over (y) the Taxes for the Pre-Effective Date Tax Period.

                                      14
<PAGE>   15

5.4   Any refunds and credits attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall
be for the account of IBM and any refunds and credits attributable to the
period which is not part of the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account
of TRITON.

5.5   All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and any
other similar Taxes (including real estate transfer taxes, conveyance, capital
gains or similar taxes) and related fees incurred in connection with this
Agreement, the Sublease Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby shall
be borne equally by the Parties. To the extent legally able to do so, TRITON
and IBM shall cooperate with each other to obtain exemptions from such Taxes,
provided that neither party shall be obligated to seek any exemption that would
require any audit by a Governmental Authority of its books and records.

SECTION 6.     RESPONSIBILITIES OF IBM

6.1   Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, IBM shall deliver to
TRITON one copy of the Object Code for the IBM Licensed Software.

6.2   IBM shall establish a single point of contact to facilitate the
assignment process set forth herein.

6.3   IBM shall take such additional actions as TRITON may reasonably request
to effect the delivery of the Acquired Assets. IBM shall execute such documents
and, at TRITON's expense, take such other actions as TRITON may reasonably be
requested to assist TRITON in preserving or perfecting its rights in the
Deliverables or to perfect or evidence the assignment or sale to TRITON of the
Acquired Assets.

6.4   IBM shall file any Notification and Report Forms and related material
that may be required to file with the Federal Trade Commission and the
Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice under the HSR

applicable waiting period, and will make any further filings pursuant thereto
that may be necessary, proper, or advisable in connection therewith.

7.1   TRITON shall establish a single point of contact to facilitate the
assignment process set forth herein.

7.2   TRITON shall make offers of employment to the Identified Employees and
the Affected Employees within four days after the date of this Agreement under
the condition that such offers must be accepted, contingent upon the
satisfaction of the other conditions to effectiveness of the

                                      15
<PAGE>   16

sale and license hereunder as set forth in Section 14, within four days after
such offer or be deemed rejected.

7.3   TRITON shall cause all IBM trademarks, service marks, trade names and
logos, including design variations thereof, to be removed promptly (and no
later than 30 days after the Effective Date) from all facilities and materials
provided to TRITON hereunder which TRITON provides to the public.

7.4   Except with respect to the Third Party Workstation Software, TRITON shall
be responsible for deleting any and all existing third party software from the
Acquired Assets or notifying the owners of the software or obtaining necessary
licenses for such software.

7.5   TRITON shall be responsible for obtaining necessary licenses from the
owners of Unassigned Third Party Software and for any fees associated

<PAGE>   17

8.4   IBM hereby reserves, for itself and its Subsidiaries, the right to use the
Residuals of information included in the Deliverable Documentation for any
purpose. The "Residuals" of the information in the Deliverable Documentation

Licensed Patents to make, have made (subject to Section 8.7) for sale by
TRITON, use, sell, offer for sale, import, lease, and otherwise transfer
Broadband Products, provided, however, that no license, express or implied, is
granted to TRITON under the Licensed Patents or any other patent licensable by
IBM, to practice any manufacturing process, including but not limited to
semiconductor manufacturing processes. The license granted under this Section
8.5 does not include the right to sublicense third parties.

8.6   Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing contained herein
shall be construed as conferring either directly or by implication, estoppel,
or otherwise upon either Party hereunder any license or other right with
respect to any patents or patent applications, trademarks, copyrights, trade
secrets, mask works or other similar intellectual property rights of the other
Party.

8.7   The license granted in Section 8.5 to TRITON to have Broadband Products
made by another manufacturer:

(a)   shall only apply when the specifications for such products (other than
the Identified Products) were created by TRITON, either solely or jointly with
one or more third parties; and

(b)   shall only be under claims of the Licensed Patents, the infringement of
which would be necessitated by compliance with such specifications.

8.8   In the event that TRITON engages in or suffers any of the following
events:

      (a)   becomes insolvent, is dissolved or liquidated, files or has filed
against it a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation
or similar action filed by or against it, is adjudicated as bankrupt, or a
receiver is appointed for its business; or

      (b)   has all or a substantial portion of its capital stock or assets
expropriated or attached by any government entity;

then TRITON shall offer, on a right of first offer basis, to sell to IBM all
TRITON's ownership interest in and to TRITON's statutory patent rights acquired
from IBM in the patent applications and any issued patents, resulting from the
Invention Disclosures.

                                      17
<PAGE>   18

8.9    IBM reserves for itself and its Subsidiaries, a license under the
Invention Disclosures, and all patent applications filed thereon, and patents
issuing therefrom, in any country of the world, a nonexclusive, fully paid-up,
worldwide license to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, lease,
and otherwise transfer any information handling system product, and to
sublicense those licensees of IBM as of the Effective Date that would have been
required to be licensed under patent applications (and patents issuing
therefrom) filed on the Invention Disclosures if such applications had been
filed by IBM or its Subsidiaries on or before the Effective Date.

8.10   The licenses granted to TRITON hereunder shall be assignable to a
successor in interest to TRITON's Broadband modem business. In such event:

       (a)   TRITON shall promptly give notice of such acquisition to IBM; and

       (b)   the license granted to TRITON under Section 8.5 shall not apply to
any products manufactured or sold by such third party following its acquisition
of TRITON that are substantially similar to products it manufactured and sold

8.11   (a) IBM hereby reserves, for itself and its Subsidiaries, a worldwide,
irrevocable, nonexclusive, and fully paid-up right and license to use,

purpose other than the manufacture and sale of Broadband Products.

       (b) IBM hereby reserves, for itself and its Subsidiaries, a worldwide,
irrevocable, nonexclusive, and fully paid-up right and license, including the
right to sublicense others, to use, reproduce, execute, display, perform,

SECTION 9.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF IBM

Except as otherwise set forth on the Schedule of Disclosures and Exceptions
attached hereto:

9.1    IBM represents and warrants that it has the full right, power, legal
capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform the
transactions contemplated hereunder and to grant the rights and licenses
granted hereunder and all such actions have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate proceedings on its part. This Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by IBM and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of it and is enforceable against IBM in accordance with its
terms and conditions.

9.2    IBM is a duly incorporated and validly existing corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of New York, with all requisite corporate
power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business.

                                      18
<PAGE>   19

9.3    The execution and delivery by IBM of this Agreement does not, and the
performance by IBM of its obligations hereunder will not:

       (a)   conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the provisions of
IBM's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws;

       (b)   on IBM's part, breach, violate or contravene any Governmental
Rule, or create any right of termination or acceleration or encumbrance against
IBM, that, singly or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on
IBM's authority or ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

       (c)   on IBM's part, conflict in any respect with, or result in a breach
of or default under, any contract, license, franchise, permit or any other
agreement or instrument to which IBM is a party or by which IBM or any of the
Deliverables may be bound that, singly or in the aggregate, would have a
material adverse effect on the Deliverables or IBM's authority or ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement (except for agreements and
instruments that require the consent or approval of a third party for the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

9.4    Other than compliance with the HSR Act pre-notification requirements, no
material consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or
filing with, any Governmental Authority on the part of IBM is required in
connection with the execution or delivery by IBM of this Agreement or the
consummation by IBM of the transactions contemplated herein.

9.5    IBM has and will convey good and marketable title to all Acquired
Assets, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens
and other than the Assumed Liabilities, provided however that IBM will remain
responsible for costs associated with Permitted Liens that are not otherwise
included within the Assumed Liabilities. Provided, however, that IBM is not
currently the owner of the Teradyne Tester that appears on the schedules to
this Agreement. This tester is currently owned by a third party and leased to
IBM. Immediately prior to closing, IBM will buy out the remaining period of
that lease and obtain title to that tester.

9.6    Except as set forth on Schedule 9.6, there are no actions, suits,
proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Knowledge of IBM, threatened
in a writing to IBM against or directly affecting the Acquired Assets, at law
or in equity, including any administrative proceedings or condemnation actions
with any Governmental Authority. IBM has not received any written claim made by
a third party prior to the date of this Agreement that IBM's marketing and sale
of the Identified Products infringed any patent, copyright, trade secret, or
trademark of such third party, except as identified in Section 9.6. The
manufacture, use and sale of the Identified Products by TRITON after the
closing, in substantially the same manner as conducted by IBM prior to the
closing, does not violate any third party non-patent intellectual property
right (but not including any third party non-patent intellectual property right
in the Unassigned Third

                                      19
<PAGE>   20

Party Software) and, to the Knowledge of IBM, does not violate any third party
patent rights, except as identified in Schedule 9.6.

9.7   IBM has performed or is performing all material obligations required to
be performed by it under the Acquired Contracts and is not, (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) in breach or default in any material respect
thereunder.

9.8   To the Knowledge of IBM, no representation petition has been filed with
the National Labor Relations Board and, to the Knowledge of IBM, no union card
signing campaign is in progress at any IBM facility concerning the Affected
Employees. There is not any, and during the past 12 months there has not been
any, labor strike, work stoppage or lockout with respect to the Affected
Employees.

9.9   IBM has provided Triton with an accurate statement of IBM's book value of
the Inventory, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment that existed on IBM's books,
as of January 31, 2000, of the Inventory, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment.

9.10   Except for the express representations and warranties made by IBM in
this Section 9, the Deliverables are sold, licensed or otherwise transferred
hereunder "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including,
but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, and IBM shall not have any liability in respect of any
infringement of any intellectual property rights of third parties due to
TRITON's use of the Acquired Contracts, Identified Products, Acquired Software
Assets, Other Acquired Software Assets, Invention Disclosures or the IBM
Technology or operation under the rights and licenses herein granted. Without
limiting the foregoing, IBM makes no representations or warranties concerning
the ability of the IBM Licensed Software, IBM Workstation Software, Acquired
Software Assets, Other Acquired Software Assets, or Third Party Workstation
Software to process, provide or represent date data in and between the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

9.15   IBM has good and marketable title to the Acquired Assets, free and clear
of all Security Interests or restriction on transfer.

9.16   To the Knowledge of IBM, IBM and its Subsidiaries have complied with all
applicable laws in connection with the Acquired Assets.

9.17   IBM has delivered to TRITON a correct and complete copy of each written
agreement, including any amendments, modifications or extensions, listed in
Schedule 1B and Schedule 1M. With respect to each such agreement, to the
Knowledge of IBM: (a) the agreement is legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and
in full force and effect; (b) no party is in breach or default, and no event
has occurred which with notice or lapse of time would constitute a breach or
default, or permit termination, modification, or acceleration, under the
agreement; and (c) no party has repudiated any provision of the agreement.

9.18   To the Knowledge of IBM, each Identified Product has been in conformity
with all applicable contractual commitments and all express and implied
warranties, except as set forth in

                                      20
<PAGE>   21

Schedule 9.18, there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of IBM, threatened
claims for the breach of any express or implied warranty made with respect to
the Identified Products.

9.19   IBM has provided to TRITON the names and location of employment of all
employees employed in connection with the Identified Products as of the date of
this Agreement (the "Affected Employees"), including all Affected Employees on
leave for any reason, and their current annual compensation, including variable
elements such as long term incentive plans, stock option (including vesting
schedules and exercise prices); date of birth; sex; date of employment;
positions and rate of vacation accrual as of the date of this Agreement; and
accrued vacation as of the payroll date immediately preceding the date of this
Agreement.

9.20   IBM does not have any Employee Benefit Plan as that term is defined in
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, that will result in any
liability to TRITON for such Employee Benefit Plan.

9.21   To the Knowledge of IBM, IBM is not a party to or bound by any
collective bargaining agreement, nor has any of them experienced any strikes,
grievances, claims of unfair labor practices, or other collective bargaining
disputes relating to the Affected Employees. To the Knowledge of IBM, there is
no organizational effort presently being made by or on behalf of any labor
union with respect to the Affected Employees.

9.22   The tangible assets included within the Acquired Assets have been
maintained in accordance with IBM's normal maintenance procedures and, as a
whole, are substantially in good working order and condition, subject to normal
wear and tear. The Teradyne Catalyst tester identified in Schedule 1A is in
good working order and condition, subject to normal wear and tear, and has been
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty requirements.

9.23   The intellectual property rights included within the Deliverables and
the licenses set forth in this Agreement and the EDA Program Agreement include
all intellectual property rights owned by IBM that would be infringed by the
design, manufacture, use or sale of the Identified Products as they exist on
the Effective Date other than integrated circuit manufacturing processes.

9.24   Binding Obligation. The Investors Rights Agreement, when executed and
delivered by IBM, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of
IBM, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws of general
application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and to
the availability of the remedy of specific performance.

9.25   Investment Intent. IBM is acquiring the Shares and the Common Stock
issuable on conversion of the Shares (the "Conversion Shares") for investment
for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or
for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. IBM understands that
the Shares and the Conversion Shares have not been, and will not be, registered
under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of

                                      21
<PAGE>   22

the Securities Act of 1933, the availability of which depends upon, among other
things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the
IBM's representations.

9.26   Discussion. IBM has had an opportunity to discuss TRITON's business,
management and financial affairs with TRITON's management and has also had an
opportunity to ask questions of TRITON's officers, which questions were
answered to IBM's satisfaction.

9.27   Assets. To the Knowledge of IBM, the Acquired Assets transferred under
this Agreement include all of the material tangible assets that IBM currently
uses to carry on the operations acquired from IBM under this Agreement, other
than foundry and other services covered in separate agreements.

9.28   To the Knowledge of IBM, the software being transferred or licensed to
Triton includes the material software that IBM currently uses directly in the
development and manufacturing of the Identified Products, other than the
Unassigned Third Party Software.

9.29   To the Knowledge of IBM, the Comquest Confidential Information and
Invention Assignment Agreement or the IBM Agreement Regarding Confidential
Information, Intellectual Property, and Other Matters has been signed by all
IBM employees who developed IBM's intellectual property in the Invention
Disclosures, Acquired Software Assets, Other Acquired Software Assets, Board
Design, Deliverable Documentation, and the Masks, and IBM has provided copies
of such agreements for Triton's review.

9.30   Schedule 1H includes an accurate list of the inventory owned by IBM and
used in the operations being acquired by TRITON, as of January 31, 2000. Since
January 31, 2000, items have been added to and withdrawn from Inventory only in
the ordinary course of business.

Rights Agreement or in the other documents delivered to IBM or its attorneys or
agents in connection herewith.

11.17 Financial Statements. TRITON has delivered to IBM its audited financial
statements as of December 31, 1999 and the twelve months then ended (the

condition of any type that has had or is expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, prospects, or financial conditions of
TRITON.

material consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or
filing with, any

execution or delivery by TRITON of this Agreement or the consummation by TRITON
of the transactions contemplated herein.

11.23 Triton represents and warrants that it is not engaged in any discussions
regarding a possible private equity financing (including convertible debt) or
acquisition or other issuance of its equity, other than the issuance of stock
options to employees in the ordinary course of business and other than the
possibility of a potential initial public stock offering. Except for the
acquisition of assets from IBM and as stated above, Triton has no current plans
to issue more of its equity prior to the Closing of this transaction. If,
however, circumstances change and, prior to the Effective Date of this
Agreement, Triton does enter into an agreement providing for an equity
financing or an acquisition in which Triton issues shares of its common stock
or securities exercisable for or convertible into common stock, or otherwise
issues such securities, and if the purchase price of such securities is less
than $12 (twelve dollars) per common stock equivalent, then Triton will, at the
Closing, issue without additional consideration from IBM an additional number
of shares to IBM equal to approximately 8.8% of the "Dilutive Shares" issued or
issuable in such event (excluding stock options to employees in the ordinary
course of business). For this purpose, "Dilutive Shares" will equal the amount
by which the total number of common stock equivalents issued or issuable in
such events exceed a number equal to the total consideration paid or payable
for such shares by the receiving parties to such events, divided by $12 (twelve
dollars); if no consideration is paid or payable then all of such common stock
equivalents will be considered to be "Dilutive Shares". In the event of a stock
split or a reverse stock split of Triton's Series C preferred stock prior to
Closing, there will be a proportional adjustment in the number of shares issued
to IBM.

QUALIFICATION UNLESS THE TRANSFER IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR SIMILAR
RULE OR UNLESS TRITON RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO
IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES

"Holder") consents to TRITON making a notation on its records and giving
instructions to any transfer agent of the Shares or the Conversion Shares in
order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 12.

transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to TRITON of such
Holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge. Each
such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and shall be
accompanied, at the reasonable request of TRITON at such Holder's expense by
either (i) an opinion of counsel (who shall, and whose opinion shall be,
addressed to TRITON and reasonably satisfactory to TRITON) to the effect that
the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration under the Act or (ii) a "no action" letter from the Securities and
Exchange Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without
registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission

Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to TRITON.
Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above
provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the
appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 12.2 above, except that

the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such
security shall be removed and TRITON shall issue a certificate without such
legend to the Holder of such security if such security is registered under the
Act, or if such Holder provides TRITON with an opinion of counsel (which may be
counsel for TRITON) reasonably satisfactory to TRITON to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such security may be made without registration under
the Act or such Holder provides TRITON with reasonable assurances, which may,
at the option of TRITON, include an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel
for TRITON) reasonably satisfactory to TRITON, that such security can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor provision) under the Act.

SECTION 13       CONSENTS AND SUBROGATED WORK

TRITON and IBM shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, between the date of
signing of this Agreement and the Effective Date, all requisite consents to
assignments of all of the Assumed Liabilities. For any Assumed Liabilities for
which IBM has any secondary liability to third parties, TRITON shall provide
IBM reasonable access and information in order for IBM to ascertain continuing
compliance by TRITON with all such contract terms and conditions. If any such
required consents cannot be secured without the incurring of any significant
additional costs, where additional action is deemed necessary by either Party,
the Parties agree to enter into such other arrangements with respect to the
underlying rights and obligations as shall permit TRITON to perform the

an obligation or relationship that would constitute a breach of the contract
underlying such rights and obligations. TRITON agrees to diligently perform and
discharge the obligations of IBM in connection with the Subrogated Work
directly, or indirectly through IBM, as applicable; and to the extent that
consents to assignment are obtained after the Effective Date, the Parties agree

17.9   Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, in any action, suit,
or proceeding:

       (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
       of any Delaware State court sitting in the State of Delaware or any
       federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of
       Delaware and any appellate court from any such court, in any suit,
       action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or
       for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Party hereby
       irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
       such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
       Delaware State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal
       court.

       (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so,
       any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
       of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
       Agreement in any Delaware court sitting in the State of Delaware or any
       federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

<PAGE>   34

       the right to object, with respect to such suit, action or proceeding,
       that such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party.

       (d) consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving
       of notices pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall
       affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any
       other manner permitted by law.

17.10  Neither Party will bring a legal action relating to the subject matter
       of this Agreement more than two (2) years after the cause of action
       arose.

17.11  Any failure or delay on the part of either Party in the exercise of any
       right or privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor
       shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or privilege
       preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or
       privilege. All waivers and consents, if any, given hereunder shall be in
       writing.

17.12  Except as expressly provided herein, neither Party shall assign this
       Agreement nor any of its rights, interests, privileges, licenses or
       obligations hereunder without the other Party's prior written
       permission. TRITON may assign this Agreement to a successor in interest

       null and void.

       of reference only and are not intended to be a part of, or to affect the
       meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

17.14  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be
       invalid, voidable or unenforceable by any court of law with competent
       jurisdiction, the Parties agree that unless it materially affects the
       entire intent and purpose of this Agreement, such invalidity,
       voidability or unenforceability shall not affect either the validity of
       this Agreement or the remaining provisions herein, and the provision in
       question shall be deemed to be replaced with a valid and enforceable
       provision most closely reflecting the intent and purpose of the original
       provision.

17.15  This Agreement shall not be binding upon the Parties until it has been
       signed hereinbelow by an authorized representative of each Party, in
       which event it shall be effective according to its terms. No amendment
       or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the
       Parties unless made in writing and signed by an authorized
       representative of each Party.

17.16  Each Party shall, at its own expense, comply with any Governmental Rule
       relating to its duties, obligations and performance under this Agreement
       and shall procure all licenses and pay all fees and other charges
       required thereby. Each Party agrees to comply with all applicable
       federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances, including the
       Regulations of the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. State
       Department in respect of the export of technical data and commodities.
       TRITON hereby gives written assurance that, unless authorized by

                                      34

       appropriate U.S. Government license or regulations, neither software nor
       technical data provided by IBM under this Agreement, nor the direct
       product thereof, shall be exported, directly or indirectly, to
       prohibited countries or nationals thereof. TRITON agrees that it is
       responsible for obtaining required government documents and approvals
       prior to export of any commodity, machine, software or technical data.

17.17  TRITON and IBM hereby waive compliance with any applicable bulk sales or
       similar laws in the United States or other jurisdictions.

17.18  As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, each
       party shall, in cooperation with the other, file any reports or
       notifications that may be required to be filed by it regarding this
       transaction under applicable law. IBM and TRITON will cooperate to
       obtain any consents or approvals or assist in any filings required in
       connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that have not
       been previously obtained or made.

17.19  This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which
       will be considered an original, but all of which together form one and
       the same instrument. Once signed, both Parties agree any reproduction of
       this Agreement made by reliable means (for example, photocopy or
       facsimile) shall be considered an original unless prohibited by law.

17.20  Neither Party relies on any promises, inducements or representations
       made by the other or expectations of more business dealings in addition
       to this transaction. This Agreement accurately expresses the business
       agreement of the Parties.

17.21  TRITON and IBM shall pay their own respective expenses, including the
       fees and disbursements of their respective counsel in connection with
       the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the
       consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

       This Agreement, including its Schedules and Exhibits, embodies the
       entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter
       hereof and merges all prior oral or written understandings, discussions
       or communications between them.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their respective authorized representatives.
