AMENDED AND RESTATED

1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Through April 22, 2009)

1. Establishment, Purpose and Term of Plan.

1.1 Establishment . The Zoran Corporation 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was initially established effective December 14, 1995 (the “ Effective Date ”), the effective date of the initial registration by the Company of its Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (the “ Initial Plan ”). The Initial Plan was amended and restated in its entirety as the Zoran Corporation Amended and Restated 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ Plan ”) effective as of the date of commencement of the first Offering under the Plan following approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company on June 6, 1996.

1.2 Purpose . The purpose of the Plan to provide Eligible Employees of the Participating Company Group with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of Stock. The Company intends that the Plan shall qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such section), and the Plan shall be so construed.

1.3 Term of Plan . The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of its termination by the Board or the date on which all of the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan have been issued.

2. Definitions and Construction.

2.1 Definitions . Any term not expressly defined in the Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein. Whenever used herein, the following terms shall have their respective meanings set forth below:

(a) “ Board ” means the Board of Directors of the Company. If one or more Committees have been appointed by the Board to administer the Plan, “Board” also means such Committee(s).

(b) “ Code ” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) “ Committee ” means a committee of the Board duly appointed to administer the Plan and having such powers as shall be specified by the Board. Unless the powers of the Committee have been specifically limited, the Committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted herein, including, without limitation, the power to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law.

(d) “ Company ” means Zoran Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or any successor corporation thereto.

(e) “ Compensation ” means, with respect to an Offering Period under the Plan, all amounts paid in cash in the form of base salary during such Offering Period before deduction for any contributions to any plan maintained by a Participating Company and described in Section 401(k) or Section 125 of the Code. Compensation shall not include commissions, overtime, bonuses, annual awards, other incentive payments, shift premiums, reimbursements of expenses, allowances, long-term disability, workers’ compensation or any amount deemed received without the actual transfer of cash or any amounts directly or indirectly paid pursuant to the Plan or any other stock purchase or stock option plan.

(f) “ Eligible Employee ” means an Employee who meets the requirements set forth in Section 5 for eligibility to participate in the Plan.

 

-1-


(g) “ Employee ” means any person treated as an employee (including an officer or a Director who is also treated as an employee) in the records of a Participating Company and for purposes of Section 423 of the Code; provided, however, that neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee shall be sufficient to constitute employment for purposes of the Plan.

(h) “ Exchange Act ” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(i) “ Fair Market Value ” means, as of any date, if the Stock is listed on a national or regional securities exchange or market system on such date, the closing price of a share of Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market or such other national or regional securities exchange or market system constituting the primary market for the Stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Company deems reliable. If the relevant date does not fall on a day on which the Stock has traded on such securities exchange or market system, the date on which the Fair Market Value shall be established shall be the last day on which the Stock was so traded prior to the relevant date, or such other appropriate day as shall be determined by the Board, in its discretion. If there is then no public market for the Stock, the Fair Market Value on any relevant date shall be as determined by the Board without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which, by its terms, will never lapse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the Effective Date shall be deemed to be the public offering price set forth in the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the initial public offering of the Stock.

(j) “ Offering ” means an offering of Stock as provided in Section 6.

(k) “ Offering Date ” means, for any Offering Period, the first day of such Offering Period.

(l) “ Offering Period ” means a period determined in accordance with Section 6.1.

(m) “ Parent Corporation ” means any present or future “parent corporation” of the Company, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code.

(n) “ Participant ” means an Eligible Employee participating in the Plan.

(o) “ Participating Company ” means the Company or any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation which the Board determines should be included in the Plan. The Board shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine from time to time what Parent Corporations or Subsidiary Corporations shall be Participating Companies.

(p) “ Participating Company Group ” means, at any point in time, the Company and all other corporations collectively which are then Participating Companies.

(q) “ Purchase Date ” means, for any Purchase Period, the last day of such Purchase Period.

(r) “ Purchase Period ” means a period determined in accordance with Section 6.2.

(s) “ Purchase Price ” means the price at which a share of Stock may be purchased pursuant to the Plan, as determined in accordance with Section 9.

(t) “ Purchase Right ” means an option pursuant to the Plan to purchase such shares of Stock as provided in Section 8 which may or may not be exercised during an Offering Period. Such option arises from the right of a Participant to withdraw such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions not previously applied to the purchase of Stock under the Plan (if any) and terminate participation in the Plan or any Offering therein at any time during an Offering Period.

(u) “ Stock ” means the common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company, as adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 4.2.

 

-2-


(v) “ Subsidiary Corporation ” means any present or future “subsidiary corporation” of the Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.

2.2 Construction . Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and use of the term “or” shall include the conjunctive as well as the disjunctive.

All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

4. Shares Subject to Plan.

4.1 Maximum Number of Shares Issuable . Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be seven million two hundred twenty-five thousand (7,225,000) and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of the Stock, or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Purchase Right for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Purchase Right shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

4.2 Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure . In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of any merger (including a merger effected for the purpose of changing the Company’s domicile), sale of assets or other reorganization in which the Company is a party, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan, to the Offering Share Limit set forth in Section 8.1 and to each Purchase Right and in the Purchase Price.
