11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or
------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Sale.
----------
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Upon the conversation of all of
-------------------------
the Series E Preferred Stock into Common Stock, this Option shall automatically
become exercisable for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the conversion
provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as then amended and
restated. In addition, subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Company, the number of Shares covered by this Option, as well as the price per
Share covered by this Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase
or decrease in the number of issued shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Common
Stock, as the case may be, resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split,
stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Series E Preferred Stock
or Common Stock, as the case may be, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case
may be, effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company (including
the Series E Preferred Stock) 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 Series E Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the
case may be, subject to this Option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
--------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify Optionee as
soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.
The Board in its discretion may provide for the Optionee to have the right to
exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as
to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the
Option would not otherwise be exercisable. To the extent it has not been
previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed
-6- Initial:______
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
--------------------
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted
by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor
corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or
substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right
to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to
which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If the Option becomes
fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event
of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify the Optionee in writing or
electronically that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of
fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall terminate
upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets,
the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned
Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets,
the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Series E Preferred Stock
or Common Stock, as the case may be, for each Share held on the effective date
of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the
type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or
sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option,
for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to 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 Series E Preferred Stock or
Common Stock, as the case may be, in the merger or sale of assets.
12. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by
--------------
the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing
Underwriter") in connection with any registration of the offering of any
securities of the Company under the Securities Act, Optionee shall not sell or
otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180-
day period (or such other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing
Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the "Market Standoff
Period") following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company
filed under the Securities Act. Such restriction shall apply only to the first
registration statement of the Company to become effective under the Securities
Act that includes securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to the public
in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act. The Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the
foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.
13. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall be
-------
in writing and shall be addressed to the Company. at its then current principal
executive office or to such other address as the Company may hereafter designate
to the Optionee by notice as provided in this Section. Any notice to be given to
the Optionee hereunder shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address set
forth beneath his signature hereto, or at such other address as the Optionee may
hereafter designate to the Company by notice as provided herein. A notice shall
be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or mailed by
registered or certified mail to the party entitled to receive it.
14. Tax Consequences. Some of the U.S. federal tax consequences
----------------
relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
(a) Exercising the Option. The Optionee may incur regular U.S.
---------------------
federal income tax liability upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option (an
"NSO"). The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income
(taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the
-7- Initial:______
Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their
aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee,
the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect
from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and
may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such
withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
(b) Disposition of Shares. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares for
---------------------
at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be
treated as long-term capital gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
15. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement constitute the
-------------------------------
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company
and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified
adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the
Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive
laws, but not the choice of law rules, of Texas.
16. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
---------------------------------
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND
NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES
HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO
NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUES ENGAGEMENT AS A
SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL
NOT INTERFERE WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
OPTIONEE: Xxxxxx Del Xxxxxxx
COMPANY: MICROTUNE, INC.
SECURITY: SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK and the COMMON STOCK issued or issuable upon
conversation thereof
AMOUNT: $1,440,000.00 (U.S. Dollars)
DATE: January 11, 2000
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the
undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:
(a) Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee
is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
(b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if
Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold
these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax
statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the
market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed
period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be
held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities
Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further
acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register
the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the
Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the
Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in
the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, and any other legend
required under applicable state securities laws.
(c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule
144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit
limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or
indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer
qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee,
the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days
thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require)
the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction
of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale
being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the
availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of
Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the
limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144,
if applicable.
In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the
time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain
limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the
resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the
Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an
affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of
acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who
subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph
immediately above.
(d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under
the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
Signature of Optionee:
