I previously received the Offer to Exchange dated January 6, 2006, a form of Letter of Transmittal, the form of Restricted Stock Agreement if I am an employee subject to United States income taxation or the form of Restricted Stock Units Agreement if I am an employee who is not subject to United States income taxation (the applicable form being referred to herein as the “Agreement”) and the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”).

 

I signed and returned the Letter of Transmittal, thereby electing to exchange one or more of my eligible option grants for restricted stock rights of Zoran.  I now wish to withdraw one or more of my tendered options from the offer.  I understand that by signing this Notice of Withdrawal and delivering it pursuant to the procedure described in Part III, Section 5 of the Offer to Exchange and the instructions above, I will be withdrawing my election with respect to all eligible options listed in Annex A.  I have indicated by checking “Withdraw” and writing my initials.  I understand that, alternatively, I may reject the offer with respect to all my eligible options by checking the appropriate box in Annex A.

 

By withdrawing my election, I understand that I will not receive any restricted stock rights for, and will continue to hold, the options withdrawn from the offer, which will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable existing stock option agreement(s) between Zoran and me.

 

I understand that if I wish to change this withdrawal of my tendered options and once again accept the offer for any options that I have withdrawn, I must submit a new Letter of Transmittal prior to the expiration of the offer.
