The following constitute the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
of Telcom Semiconductor, Inc.

1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and
its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the
Company through accumulated payroll deductions. It is the intention of the
Company to have the Plan qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The provisions of
the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit
participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of
the Code.

2. DEFINITIONS.

(a) "BOARD" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) "CODE" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

corporation, and any Designated Subsidiary of the Company.

shall exclude payments for commissions, overtime, shift premium, incentive
compensation, incentive payments, bonuses, and other compensation.

(20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in any calendar year. For
purposes of the Plan, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing
intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence approved
by the Company. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the individual's
right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the
employment relationship will be deemed to have terminated on the 91st day of
such leave.

Stock determined as follows:

(1) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or
a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq National
Market of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated
Quotation ("NASDAQ") System, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sale
price for the Common Stock (or the mean of the closing bid and asked prices, if
no sales were reported), as quoted on such exchange (or the exchange with the
greatest volume of trading in Common Stock) or system on the date of such
determination, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or such other source as
the Board deems reliable, or;

(2) If the Common Stock is quoted on the NASDAQ System (but not on the
Nasdaq National Market thereof) or is regularly quoted by a recognized
securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value
shall be the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on
the date of such determination, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or such
other source as the Board deems reliable, or;

(3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), in the case of an Offering
Period commencing substantially concurrent with the Company's initial public
offering, the Fair Market Value may be determined by the Board to be equal to
the initial price to the public of shares of Common Stock in such offering; or

(4) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the
Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

(k) "OFFERING PERIOD" shall mean the period of approximately twenty-four
(24) months during which an option granted pursuant to the Plan may be
exercised, commencing on the first Trading Day on or after July 1 and January 1
of each year and terminating on the last Trading Day in the periods ending
twenty-four months later. The duration and timing of Offering Periods may be
changed pursuant to Section 4 of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event the Company shall effect an initial public offering of its Common
Stock, the Board may determine to commence an Offering Period substantially

concurrent with the public offering, such Offering Period to continue until the
next succeeding June 30 or December 31 as the Board may determine.

commencing after one Exercise Date and ending with the next Exercise Date,
except that the first Purchase Period of any Offering Period shall commence on
the Enrollment Date and end with the next Exercise Date.

(o) "RESERVES" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each option under the Plan which have not yet been exercised and the number of
shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan
but not yet placed under option.

(p) "SUBSIDIARY" shall mean a corporation, domestic or foreign, of which
not less than 50% of the voting shares are held by the Company or a Subsidiary,
whether or not such corporation now exists or is hereafter organized or acquired
by the Company or a Subsidiary.

(q) "TRADING DAY" shall mean a day on which national stock exchanges and
The Nasdaq Stock Market are open for trading.

3. ELIGIBILITY.

(a) Any Employee (as defined in Section 2(g)), who shall be employed by the
Company on a given Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

(b) Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee
shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately after the grant,
such Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such
Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the
Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five
percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes
of the capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) which permits
his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of
the Company and its subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the fair market value
of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in
which such option is outstanding at any time.

4. OFFERING PERIODS. The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive, overlapping
Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day
on or after July 1 and January 1 each year, or on such other date as the Board

3
shall determine, and continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance with
Section 19 hereof. The Board shall have the power to change the duration of
Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to
future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced at
least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering
Period to be affected thereafter.

5. PARTICIPATION. (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan
by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the
form of EXHIBIT A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll office
prior to the applicable Enrollment Date. (b) Payroll deductions for a
participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date
and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such
authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as
provided in Section 10 hereof.

6. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.

(a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he
or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the
Offering Period in an amount not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Compensation
which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period, and the
aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period shall not exceed
ten percent (10%) of the participant's Compensation during said Offering Period.

(b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his
or her account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only. A
participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

(c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as
provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or
her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with
the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll
deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the number of
participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in rate shall
be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days
after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company
elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant's
subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods
unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with
Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a participant's payroll
deductions may be decreased to 0% at such time during any Purchase Period which
is scheduled to end during the current calendar year (the "Current Purchase

4
Period") that the aggregate of all payroll deductions which were previously used
to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Purchase Period which ended during
that calendar year plus all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to the
Current Purchase Period equal $21,250. Payroll deductions shall recommence at
the rate provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning
of the first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar
year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the
time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed
of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's federal,
state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the
exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the
Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.

7. GRANT OF OPTION. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each
eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an
option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the
applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's account as of the
Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall
an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase Period more than a
number of Shares determined by dividing $12,500 by the Fair Market Value of a
share of the Company's Common Stock on the Enrollment Date, and provided further
that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections
3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8
hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and
shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

8. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided
in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares will be
exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full
shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the
applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her
account. No fractional shares will be purchased; any payroll deductions
accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a
full share shall be retained in the participant's account for the subsequent
Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the
participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over in a
participant's account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the
participant. During a participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase
shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

5
9. DELIVERY. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a
purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each
participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased
upon exercise of his or her option.

10. WITHDRAWAL; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

(a) A participant may withdraw all but not
less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet
used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written
notice to the Company in the form of EXHIBIT B to this Plan. All of the
participant's payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to
such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such
participant's option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated,
and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made for
such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period,
payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering
Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription
agreement.

(b) Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee (as defined in
Section 2(g) hereof), for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected
to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such
participant's account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise
the option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her
death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 14 hereof, and
such participant's option will be automatically terminated. The preceding
sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu of notice
of termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee
for the participant's customary number of hours per week of employment during
the period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of
notice.

11. INTEREST. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
participant in the Plan.

12. STOCK.

(a) The maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock which shall
be made available for sale under the Plan shall be Nine Hundred Thousand
(900,000) shares, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the
Company as provided in Section 18 hereof. If, on a given Exercise Date, the
number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the
number of shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro
rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a
manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.

(b) The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered
by his option until such option has been exercised.

(c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be
registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and
his or her spouse.

6
13. ADMINISTRATION.

(a) ADMINISTRATIVE BODY. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its
committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to
adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

(b) RULE 16b-3 LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection
(a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any
successor provision ("Rule 16b-3") provides specific requirements for the
administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall be only administered by
such a body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless permitted by Rule 16b-3, no discretion
concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be afforded to any committee or
person that is not "disinterested" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3.

14. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

(a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to
receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under the
Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to an Exercise Date on
which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such
shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant's account under the
Plan in the event of such participant's death prior to exercise of the option.
If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse,
spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in
the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at
the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares
and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant,
or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of
the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or
cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the
participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company,
then to such other person as the Company may designate.

15. TRANSFERABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive
shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution
or as provided in Section 14 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect,
except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from
an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

7
16. USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under
the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company
shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

17. REPORTS. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the
Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Employees at least
annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the
Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance,
if any.

18. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, MERGER
OR ASSET SALE.

(a) CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the Reserves as well as the price per share of
Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been
exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common
Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed
to have been "effected without receipt of consideration". Such adjustment shall
be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject
to an option.

(b) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Offering Periods will terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by
the Board.

(c) MERGER OR ASSET SALE. In the event of a proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, each option under the Plan shall be assumed or
an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a
parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Board determines,
in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or
substitution, to shorten the Offering Periods then in progress by setting a new
Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"). If the Board shortens the Offering
Periods then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify each participant in writing, at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise
Date for his option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that his
option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to

8
such date he has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10
hereof. For purposes of this paragraph, an option granted under the Plan shall
be deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of assets or merger, the option
confers the right to purchase, for each share of option stock subject to the
option immediately prior to the sale of assets or merger, the consideration
(whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the sale of
assets or merger by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held
on the effective date of the transaction (and if such holders were offered a
choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the sale of assets or merger was not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section
424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor
corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the
option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock and the sale of assets or merger.

19. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for any
reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18 hereof, no
such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an
Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise Date
if the Board determines that the termination of the Plan is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 18
hereof, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which
adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to
comply with Rule 16b-3 or under Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule
or provision or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company shall
obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

(b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock
for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable
which are consistent with the Plan.

20. NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company
under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given
when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the
person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

9
21. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued with respect
to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of
such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law,
domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange
upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

22. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the
person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

23. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of
its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the stockholders of
the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless
sooner terminated under Section 19 hereof.

24. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO LOW PRICE OFFERING PERIOD. To the extent permitted by
Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the Enrollment Date of such Offering Period, then all
participants in such Offering Period shall be automatically withdrawn from such
Offering Period immediately after the exercise of their option on such Exercise
Date and automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period
as of the first day thereof.
