REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF INTEL. Intel represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 4.1 Investigation; Economic Risk. Intel has received or has had full access to all of the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Rights that are convertible or exercisable into Class A Common Stock or Common Stock to be purchased by Intel under this Agreement. Intel further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Rights and the Class A Common Stock or Common Stock into which they are convertible or exercisable and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the investor or to which Intel had access. The foregoing, however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 3.

Intel understands that the sale of the Rights and the issuance of the Class A Common Stock or Common Stock upon exercise or exchange thereof will not be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt from registration under of the Securities Act, and that the reliance of the Company on such exemption is predicated in part on Intel's representations set forth in this Agreement. Intel understands that the Rights and the Class A Common Stock or Common Stock issuable upon exercise or exchange thereof are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act, and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from such registration is available. Intel understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder except as provided in the Rights and Restrictions Agreement. 4.4 Accredited Investor. Intel is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(8) of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. 4.5 Legends.

In addition, Intel agrees that the Company may place stop transfer orders with its transfer agents with respect to such instruments. The appropriate portion of the legend shall be removed in accordance with the provisions of the Rights and Restrictions Agreement and the stop transfer orders shall be removed promptly upon delivery to the Company of such satisfactory evidence as reasonably may be required by the Company that such stop orders are not required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. 4.6 Organization Good Standing and Qualification. Intel is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate power and authority required to (a) carry on its business as presently conducted, and (b) enter into this Agreement, the Rights Agreement, the Rights and Restrictions Agreement and the Supply Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 4.7 Due Authorization.

No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of Intel is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except: (i) compliance with the HSR Act which may be required for the exercise of the Rights to acquire Common Stock; and (ii) as expressly required or contemplated by the terms of the Rights and Restrictions Agreement. 4.9 Non-Contravention.

The Company shall provide to Intel, in a mutually acceptable form, on a quarterly basis commencing December 31, 1998, a report of Qualified Expenditures made, sufficient to permit an audit of such expenditures pursuant to Section 7(m) of the Rights Agreement. 5.4 Cooperation in HSR Act Filings. In the event of a proposed exercise of Rights to acquire Common Stock or voluntary conversion of the Class A Common Stock which would require a filing by Intel under the HSR Act, the Company will cooperate with Intel and use reasonable efforts to comply with any applicable requirements of the HSR Act; provided, however, that the Company shall not be under any obligation to comply with any request that it reasonably determines is unduly burdensome. Any filing fees under the HSR Act shall be paid by Intel. 5.5 Audit. The Company will maintain relevant records to support all Qualified Expenditures and Production milestones.

Intel may also request in writing that an audit be performed by an independent auditor with respect to the Qualified Expenditures and Production milestones necessary to verify the Special Conversion Adjustments. If Intel elects to have such an audit performed, the Company will make available to such independent auditor, financial, technical and other information and records relevant to auditing the Qualified Expenditures and Production milestones in order to verify the Special Conversion Adjustments that may be reasonably requested by such independent auditor. The independent auditor selected shall be mutually acceptable to Intel and the Company and compensated by Intel.

The Company shall cooperate with the independent auditor in responding to requests for the Company information and records. The independent auditor will promptly conduct and issue a report to the Company and Intel. If the independent auditor determines that the Company has failed to comply with any of the terms hereof being audited, such independent auditor shall only disclose to Intel and the Company the results of the audit without revealing the Company's confidential information. If the independent auditor determines that a further Special Conversion Adjustment is required hereunder, such auditor shall only disclose in its audit report to the Company and Intel the (i) amount of the additional Special Conversion Adjustment that is required hereunder; and (ii) a calculation as to how such amounts were actually determined, if applicable. 6.
