                         COMPRESSION LABS, INCORPORATED

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

                                 JUNE 30, 1995


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that in the
         opinion of management are necessary to present fairly the financial
         position and results of operations of Compression Labs, Incorporated
         (the Company).  Interim results of operations are not necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

         The Company's interim fiscal quarters end on the Friday of the
         thirteenth week following the end of the previous quarter.  The fiscal
         year end will remain as December 31.  Accordingly, the actual dates of
         the end of the second quarters of 1995 and 1994 were June 30 and July
         1, respectively.  The comparability of the financial statements
         between years is not materially affected by this presentation.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for
         the year ended December 31, 1994, included in the Company's 1994
         Annual Report.


2.       NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

         Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding during each period including dilutive common
         share equivalents (Common Stock options and warrants).

         Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding.  Common share equivalents have not been
         included in the net loss per share calculation because the effect
         would be anti-dilutive.


3.       RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT REVENUE

         In April 1992, the Company entered into a research and development
         contract with Thomson Consumer Electronics, Inc. (Thomson) to develop
         and manufacture a digital compressed video encoding system for the GM
         Hughes Electronics' DIRECTV Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system.
         The agreement called for up to $5,000,000 in development funding and
         encoding system purchases through 1993.  In 1993, 1994 and 1995, this
         agreement has subsequently been amended to provide for additional
         funding of an aggregate of $19,541,000 for additional system purchases
         as well as for additional development work consistent with the terms
         of the original contract.  In June 1992, the Company entered into a
         research and development contract with North American Philips
         Corporation (Philips) to develop and manufacture digital compressed
         video encoders and decoders for cable satellite uplink and head-end
         applications.  The agreement with Philips calls for up to $1,500,000
         in development funding and additionally outlines purchase terms for
         the products.  In 1993, this agreement was amended to provide for
         additional funding of $488,000 to complete additional research and
         development according to the terms of the original contract.
         Additionally, in the second quarter of 1995, the Company purchased a
         technology license to manufacture and supply MPEG-2 consumer and
         professional decoders.  Research and development contract revenues for
         these two programs totaled $1,037,000 of the $2,616,000 in the second
         quarter of 1995 and $1,857,000 of the $2,876,000 in the second quarter
         of 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, research
         and development contract revenues for these two programs totaled
         $6,621,000 of the $8,564,000 and $6,433,000 of the $7,880,000,
         respectively.

4.       UNBILLED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND ADVANCES

         As of June 30, 1995, the Company had net unbilled receivables of
         $7,213,000, primarily relating to research and development contracts
         entered into with Thomson and Philips.  See Note 3 of Notes to
         Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  These receivables are
         generally billable based upon specified contractual milestones.

5.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>


6.       CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE

         The Company capitalized $2,372,000 of internal software development
         costs and $14,000 of purchased software during the quarter ended June
         30, 1995.  During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company
         capitalized approximately $4,622,000 of software development costs and
         purchased software.  Amortization of capitalized software development
         costs and purchased software was $1,036,000 for the quarter ended June
         30, 1995 and $1,851,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  As of
         June 30, 1995, capitalized software net of accumulated amortization
         was $14,639,000 (including $232,000 of purchased software).


7.       BANK LINES OF CREDIT

         The Company has an aggregate of $15,000,000 in revolving credit
         facilities with banks that bear interest at the banks' prime rate
         (currently 9.00%) plus zero to one and one-half percent, which expire
         on August 24, 1995.  The Company expects to replace these lines upon
         their expiration.  The line of credit agreements are secured by
         substantially all of the Company's assets.  Of the total $15,000,000
         in credit facilities, $5,000,000 can only be accessed using qualified
         non-domestic accounts receivable as collateral, as defined in the
         agreement.  Under the agreement, the Company is required to maintain
         quarterly profitability, a certain minimum amount of working capital,
         net worth and certain financial ratios, and may not declare or make
         any cash or stock dividends.  The Company was in compliance with these
         requirements, or had obtained a waiver for non-compliance from the
         bank, as of June 30, 1995.  As of June 30, 1995, the balance
         outstanding under these lines of credit was $12,852,000.


8.       INCOME TAXES

         Substantially all of the Company's federal income taxes to date have
         been offset by utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.  When
         all such carryforwards are utilized, the Company anticipates a future
         provision for federal income taxes that will more closely approximate
         the statutory rates.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES
Total revenues in the second quarter of 1995 were $38.4 million compared to
$41.8 million in the second quarter of 1994, a decrease of 8%.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, total revenues were $78.4 million and
$79.6 million, respectively, a decrease of 1%.  Net product revenues decreased
to $35.8 million in the second quarter of 1995 from $39.0 million in the second
quarter of 1994.  This decrease in product sales was primarily the result of a
decline in sales of broadcast products.  Because the broadcast market is
evolving on multiple fronts - including the highly regulated telephone segment
- and because of the transition to products based on the newly defined Moving
Picture Experts Group (MPEG) standards, the Company has experienced and
continues to expect fluctuating revenues in this market in the near future.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, net product revenues were
$69.9 million and $71.8 million, respectively.  This decrease in product sales
was primarily the result of a decline in sales of broadcast products, partially
offset by an increase in sales of videoconferencing products.  Codec shipments
were 619 units in the second quarter of 1995 compared to 639 units in the
second quarter of 1994.

Research and development contract revenues decreased in the second quarter of
1995 to $2.6 million from $2.9 million in the second quarter of 1994.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, research and development contract
revenues were $8.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively.  The revenues in the
second quarters of 1995 and 1994 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, were primarily attributable to work on the contract with Thomson Consumer
Electronics, Inc. to develop and deliver digital compressed video encoders and
decoders using the MPEG standard.  See Note 3 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

International revenues decreased to $6.9 million, or 18% of total revenues, in
the second quarter of 1995, compared to $8.7 million, or 21% of total revenues,
in the second quarter of 1994.  International revenues were $12.4 million, or
16% of total revenues, in the first six months of 1995 compared to $14.2
million, or 18% of total revenues, for the first six months of 1994.  There
were no international revenues attributable to research and development
contracts.

GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin as a percentage of net product sales remained constant at 37% for
both the second quarter of 1995 and 1994.  For the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1994, gross margin as a percentage of net product sales was 35% and
38%, respectively.  The decrease in gross margin for the six-month period in
1995 was due to a less favorable product mix in the broadcast market durng the
first quarter and lower prices in the videoconferencing market in the first
quarter of 1995.  The Company continues to seek improvement in gross margin
through introduction of new products with higher margins, as well as through
cost reductions of existing products.  However, the Company anticipates that
product gross margin will continue to be subject to fluctuations caused by the
introduction of new products, changes in product mix and variations in
manufacturing costs.

Gross margin as a percentage of research and development contract revenues
increased to 58% in the second quarter of 1995 compared to (1%) in the second
quarter of 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 gross margin as a
percentage of research and development contracts increased to 38% from 0% for
the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in gross margin for both the
three-month period and six-month period ended June 30, 1995 was due primarily
to work on higher margin products relating to the Company's primary contract.





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   10

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 30% of total revenues
for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 25% for the second quarter of 1994.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, selling, general and
administrative expenses are 28% and 25% of total revenues, respectively.  The
increase in expenses as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to
increases in sales, marketing and service personnel and facilities to stimulate
and support expected revenue growth in future periods.  The Company anticipates
that selling, general and administrative expenses will generally increase with
increases in the level of revenues, but may vary from quarter to quarter as a
percentage of total revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
Research and development expense was 8% and 7% of total revenues for the second
quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase in research and
development expense as a percentage of total revenues was due principally to
an increase in personnel costs, depreciation and equipment-related expense
related to the development of new products in the videoconferencing and
broadcast television markets, partially offset by an increase in the amounts
capitalized in conjunction with the development of new software for more
complex and feature-rich products, including MPEG standard-based broadcast
products.  For both the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, research and
development expense remained constant at 8% of total revenues.  The Company
expects that the level of research and development spending will continue to
increase in absolute dollars in the future, but may fluctuate quarter to
quarter as a percentage of total revenues, due to varying levels of research
and development activities, external funding and amounts capitalized in
conjunction with software development activities.

INTEREST INCOME/INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest income decreased to $3,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from $41,000
in the second quarter of 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994,
interest income decreased to $9,000 from $134,000 in 1994.  The decrease for
both the three months ended June 30, 1995 and the six months ended June 30,
1995 was principally due to a reduction of interest income from equipment
leases and funds available for investment.

Interest expense increased to $340,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from
$200,000 in the second quarter of 1994.  For the six months ended June 30,
1994, interest expense increased to $555,000 from $414,000 in 1994.  The
increase was due to higher interest rates and increased borrowings during the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1995.  See
Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NET INCOME (LOSS)
The Company reported net income of $102,000 in the second quarter of 1995
compared to net income of $568,000 in the second quarter of 1994.  The decrease
in net income was primarily due to higher operating expenses.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company reported a net loss of
$1,990,000 and net income of $596,000, respectively.  This decrease was
primarily due to higher operating expenses, which include costs of $897,000
relating to legal expenses associated with the class action suit filed in 1992
against the Company and settled in the first quarter of 1995, partially offset
by higher gross margins.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS
The Company continues to seek improvement in operating results through
introduction of new products that are expected to have higher margins, as well
as through cost reductions of existing products. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts.  In the future,
the Company's operating results may be impacted by a number of factors,
including cancellation or delays of customer orders, interruption or delays in
the supply of key components, changes in customer base or product mix, seasonal
patterns of capital spending by customers, new product announcements by the
Company or its competitors, pricing pressures and changes in general economic
conditions.  Historically, a significant portion of the Company's shipments
have been made in the last month of each quarter. As a result, a shortfall in
revenue compared to expectation may not evidence itself until late in the
quarter. Additionally, the timing of expenditures for research and development
activities and sales and marketing programs, as well as the timing of orders by
major customers, may cause operating results to fluctuate between quarters and
between years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has used internally generated funds, public and private offerings
of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, sale and leaseback arrangements and bank
credit lines to finance its growth since 1983.  Cash generated by operations
was $8.7 million for the first six months of 1995 compared to cash used in
operations of $3.0 million in 1994, primarily due to a decrease in inventories
and an increase in accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in
deferred revenue, a decrease in the rate of growth of accounts receivable and a
decrease in net operating results.  Capital additions were $4.1 million for the
first six months of 1995 and other assets increased $6.0 million primarily due
to the acquisition of a technology license.  While the Company expects the
level of capital expenditures in 1995 to be comparable to 1994 levels, there
are no material commitments to purchase capital equipment at the present time.
Net cash generated by financing activities was $5.2 million in the first half
of 1995 primarily due to borrowings against the lines of credit and the
establishment of term loans using capital equipment as collateral.  See Note 7
of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $10.5
million.  The Company had bank lines of credit as of June 30, 1995 in the
amount of $15.0 million of which $12.9 million was outstanding.  See Note 7 of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  Working capital
decreased to $44.5 million as of June 30, 1995, compared to $53.8 million at
December 31, 1994.  During the second quarter of 1995, the Company entered into
an agreement for the sale of 565,000 to 765,000 shares of newly issued Company
common stock to Fletcher Asset Management, Inc. at prices equal to an average
of market prices on the Nasdaq National Market during a specified period.
Early in the third quarter, the Company received an aggregate of $4.65 million
relating to this Agreement.  The Company anticipates this transaction to be
completed prior to September 30, 1995.  The Company anticipates that existing
cash and lines of credit, together with sources of additional liquidity such as
private or public offerings, sale and leaseback arrangements, equipment lease
lines and bank credit lines, will be sufficient to meet cash requirements
through 1995.  Should additional funding be required, however, there can be no
assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms as and when
required by the Company.

PART II.         OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                 On August 24, 1993, the Company filed a complaint against
         Oklahoma State University Education and Research Fund, Inc.  (OSUERF)
         in United Stated District Court claiming that OSUERF breached an
         exclusive subcontract for the Company to provide equipment to OSUERF
         under OSUERF's prime contract with the United States Army, TRADOC
         Division.  On November 18, 1993, the Company amended the complaint to
         add Federal Leasing, Inc. (FLI) as a defendant.  FLI is a third party
         leasing company that acquired the Company's right, title and interest
         in equipment installed under the contract pursuant to a Federal
         Government Financing Agreement (Financing Agreement) effective
         September 30, 1991 and leased the equipment to TRADOC.  An assertion
         of entitlement to indemnification has been received by the Company
         from FLI.  On February 4, 1994, the CIT Group/Equipment Financing Inc.
         (CIT), as an assignee of FLI's rights under the Financing Agreement,
         filed a complaint against the Company in United States District Court
         claiming entitlement or indemnification from the Company.  The Company
         responded to the complaint by denying the material charging
         allegations of the complaint and stating certain affirmative defenses.
         Pursuant to court order, the OSUERF and CIT actions have been
         consolidated.  On April 21, 1995, CIT and FLI separately moved for
         summary judgment against the Company seeking damages in the amount of
         $2 million.  The Company opposed the respective motions which are
         currently under submission before Judge Robert P. Aguilar and believes
         that it has meritorious defenses.

                 The Company's amended complaint now asserts causes of action
         against OSUERF for (i) breach of contract, (ii) fraud, (iii)
         interference with contractual relations and (iv) indemnity, and causes
         of action against FLI for (a) breach of contract and (b) declaratory
         judgment.  By the amended complaint, the Company claims general and
         consequential damages in an unspecified amount against OSUERF and FLI,
         and seeks a judicial declaration on the question of whether the
         Company is obligated to indemnify FLI for OSUERF's failure to continue
         making monthly payments to FLI.

                 Trial of this matter was set for September 18, 1995.  However,
         due to the pending reassignment of the case to a new judge, the
         parties stipulated that as of July 6, 1995, all deadlines in the case
         which had not lapsed would be postponed.  While the Company has
         completed the bulk of its discovery, it is anticipated that further
         discovery will be scheduled, including the depositions of additional
         Company witnesses.  A mandatory settlement conference has been ordered
         but not scheduled.

                 The Company will vigorously defend the claims stated against
         it by CIT, and believes that it has meritorious defenses.  However,
         there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail or obtain
         indemnity for any recovery from OSUERF.  If any of CIT's claims were
         to be decided adversely to the Company, the Company would be liable to
         pay monetary damages to CIT.  The Company believes that the ultimate
         resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on
         the Company's financial position.

                 On April 6, 1995, the Company filed a complaint against
         Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWBT) in Santa Clara, California
         Superior Court alleging that SWBT intentionally interfered with CLI's
         contracts with OSUERF and Hughes Network Systems (HNS).  In its
         complaint, the Company claims general and punitive damages in an
         unspecified amount against SWBT.  SWBT moved to quash service of
         summons for lack of personal jurisdiction, which motion was granted on
         July 11, 1995.  On July 25, 1995, the Company refiled the complaint in
         the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.
         Service of the company is pending.

                 In a complaint filed December 20, 1993, in United States
         District Court, Datapoint Corporation (Datapoint) alleged that the
         Company had infringed two United States patents owned by Datapoint and
         relating to video conferencing networks.  The complaint seeks a
         judgment of infringement, monetary damages, injunctive relief and
         reasonable attorney's fees.  The Company responded to the complaint on
         February 16, 1994 by denying the material allegations of the complaint
         and asserting affirmative defenses.  Pursuant to court order, the
         parties have participated in mediation before a court-appointed
         mediator.  Discovery in the case has commenced.  The Company believes
         that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations of the complaint,
         and is pursuing an aggressive defense; however, there can be no
         assurance that the Company will prevail.  If any of the claims were to
         be decided adversely to the defendants, the Company could be liable
         for monetary damages to the plaintiff and be subject to injunctive
         relief.  The


                                    - 10 -

         Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not
         have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position.

                 The Company and Voicecraft, Inc. (Voicecraft) are parties to a
         License Agreement dated December 3, 1987 pursuant to which the Company
         licenses certain technology from Voicecraft in exchange for the
         payments of royalties.  At various times since the inception of the
         license/royalty relationship, disputes have arisen between the Company
         and Voicecraft relating to the scope of the license, as well as the
         amount of royalties due.  By letter dated May 6, 1994, Voicecraft
         purported to terminate the Company's license as of July 5, 1994 for
         its alleged failure to remit royalties as required by the License
         Agreement.  Voicecraft has further asserted that the Company is
         infringing certain patent rights belonging to Voicecraft.  The Company
         disputes Voicecraft's assertions.  At present, the Company and
         Voicecraft are in discussion to resolve the issues outstanding between
         them so as to avoid litigation.  The Company believes that the
         ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse
         impact on the Company's financial position.

                 In the normal course of business, the Company receives and
         makes inquiries with regard to other possible patent infringement.
         Where deemed advisable, the Company may seek or extend licenses or
         negotiate settlements.  Outcomes of such negotiations may not be
         determinable at any point in time; however, management does not
         believe that such licenses or settlements will, individually or in the
         aggregate, have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
         position or results of operations.

                WAIVER AND FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

        THIS WAIVER AND FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT ("Waiver and
Amendment"), dated as of November 23, 1994, is entered into by and between
COMPRESSION LABS, INCORPORATED (the "Borrower") and BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL
TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION (the "Bank").

                                   RECITALS

        A.      The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a certain Credit
Agreement dated as of June 30, 1994 (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which
the Bank has extended certain credit facilities to the Borrower.

        B.      The Borrower has reported to the Bank the existence of an event
of default under the Credit Agreement.  The Borrower has requested that the
Bank waive such event of default.

        C.      The Bank is willing to waive such default under the Credit
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Waiver and Amendment.

        NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.      Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings, if any, assigned to them in the
Credit Agreement.

        2.      Default and Waiver.

                (a)     For purposes of this Waiver and Amendment, the
"Existing Default" shall mean:

                        (i)  the default existing on this date under Section
        8.01(c) of the Credit Agreement solely as a consequence of a breach of
        the negative covenant set forth at Section 7.15 of the Credit Agreement
        solely to the extent such default relates to the financial results of
        the Borrower for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.

                (b)     Subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereof,
        the Bank hereby waives the Existing Default.

                (c)     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
        (or otherwise affect the Bank's ability to enforce) any other default
        or Event of Default, including without limitation (i) any default or
        Event of Default as may now or hereafter exist and arise from or
        otherwise be related to the Existing Default (including without
        limitation any cross-default arising under the Credit Agreement by
        virtue of any matters resulting from the Existing Default), and



                                      1



<PAGE>   2
        (ii) any default or Event of Default arising at any time after the
        Effective Date and which is the same as the Existing Default.

        3.      Amendments to Credit Agreement.

                (a)  Section 2.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by
deleting the references in such Section to "0.50%" and replacing them with
"1.00%".

                (b)  Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by
(i) deleting the words "180 days after" in clause (i) of subsection (b)
thereof; (ii) adding the following as new subsection (f) thereto:

                "(f)  In addition to the limits set forth in subsection
        2.01(b), the aggregate of the L/C Outstanding Amounts in respect of
        standby letters of credit may not exceed at any time $1,000,000."

        4.      Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents
and warrants to the Bank as follows:

                (a)  Other than the Existing Default, no Default or Event of
        Default has occurred and is continuing.

                (b)  The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
        this Waiver and Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary
        corporate and other action and do not and will not require any
        registration with, consent or approval of, notice to or action by, any
        person (including any governmental authority) in order to be effective
        and enforceable.  The Credit Agreement as amended by this Waiver and
        Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
        Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective
        terms, without defense, counterclaim or offset.

                (c)  Subject to the Existing Default, all representations and
        warranties of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement are true
        and correct.

                (d)  The Borrower is entering into this Waiver and Amendment on
        the basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons, without
        reliance upon the Bank or any other Person.

        5.      Effective Date.  The Waiver and Amendment will become effective
as of November 23, 1994 (the "Effective Date"), provided that each of the
following conditions precedent is satisfied:



                                      2

<PAGE>   3
                (a)     The Bank has received from the Borrower a duly
        executed original (or, if elected by the Bank, an executed facsimile
        copy) of this Waiver and Amendment.
        
                (b)     All representations and warranties contained herein are
        true and correct as of the Effective Date.
        
        6.      Reservation of Rights.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that neither the Bank's forbearance in exercising its rights and remedies in
connection with the Existing Default, nor the execution and delivery by the
Bank of this Waiver and Amendment, shall be deemed (i) to create a course of
dealing or otherwise obligate the Bank to forbear or execute similar waivers
under the same or similar circumstances in the future, or (ii) to waive,
relinquish or impair any right of the Bank to receive any indemnity or similar
payment from any person or entity as a result of any matter arising from or
relating to the Existing default.

        7.      Miscellaneous.

                (a)     Except as herein expressly amended, all terms,
        covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain
        in full force and effect and all references therein to such Credit
        Agreement shall henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by
        this Waiver and Amendment. This Waiver and Amendment shall be deemed
        incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

                (b)     This Waiver and Amendment shall be binding upon and
        inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their

        signature of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower, with the same force
        and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original. Any failure by the

                (e)     This Waiver and Amendment, together with the Credit
        Agreement, contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties
        hereto with reference to the matters discussed herein and therein. This

        Agreement.

                (f)     If any term or provision of this Waiver and Amendment
        shall be deemed prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such
        provision shall be invalidated without affecting the remaining
        provisions of this Waiver and Amendment or the Credit Agreement,
        respectively.

                (g)     The Borrower covenants to pay to or reimburse the Bank,

                     SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
                      AND PARTIAL RELEASE OF COLLATERAL

        THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND PARTIAL RELEASE OF
COLLATERAL ("Amendment"), dated as of May 12, 1995, is entered into by and
between COMPRESSION LABS, INCORPORATED (the "Borrower") and BANK OF AMERICA
NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION (the "Bank").

                                   RECITALS

        A.      The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a certain Credit
Agreement dated as of June 30, 1994, as amended by that certain Waiver and
First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 23, 1994 (as so
amended, the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the Bank has extended
certain credit facilities to the Borrower.

        B.      The Credit Agreement is secured by, among other things, that
certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated as of August 15, 1994
(the "Security Agreement") between the Borrower and the Bank.

        C.      The Borrower has entered into that certain Security Agreement
dated as of March 30, 1995 in favor of USL Capital Corporation, as supplemented
by that certain Addendum to Security Agreement dated as of March 31, 1995
(collectively, the "USL Security Agreement").

        D.      In connection with the USL Security Agreement, the Borrower has
requested that the Bank agree to certain amendments of the Credit Agreement and
the release of certain collateral (as defined therein) from the lien of the
Security Agreement.

        E.      The Bank is willing to amend the Credit Agreement, and release
certain Collateral, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.

        NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.      Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings, if any, assigned to them in the
Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, as applicable.

        2.      Amendments to Credit Agreement.

                (a)     Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended
by (i) deleting the period at the end of subsection (e) thereof, (ii) adding a
semicolon in lieu thereof, and (iii) adding the following subsection (f) after
subsection (e) thereof:


                                      1
<PAGE>   2

                "(f) indebtedness not to exceed the amount of $3,000,000 at any
time outstanding and secured by liens permitted under Section 7.02 on
demonstration equipment not carried as Inventory."

                (b) Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by (i)
deleting the word "and" at the end of subsection (f) thereof, (ii) inserting
the following prior to the parenthetical at the end of subsection (g) thereof:

                "; and (h) without duplication, security interests in 
demonstration equipment not carried as Inventory when the aggregate amount of
all liabilities secured by such equipment do not exceed, at any one time,
$3,000,000",

and (iii) in the parenthetical at the end of Section 7.02, deleting the letter
"(g)" and inserting "(h)" in lieu thereof.

        3.      Partial Release of Collateral.  The Bank shall release from the
lien of the Security Agreement and terminate its security interest in the USL
Collateral. For purposes hereof, the "USL Collateral" means all of the
Equipment listed on the collateral listing attached to the USL Security
Agreement and hereto as Exhibit A (the "USL Equipment"), any and all additional
or accessions thereto or substitutions therefor and any and all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of the USL
Equipment now or from time to time hereafter subject or required or intended to
be subject to the lien of the USL Security Agreement and any form of proceeds
(including proceeds of insurance and of any governmental takings) arising from
the USL Equipment or in connection with the USL Equipment. On or before the
Effective Date, the Bank shall deliver to the Borrower an executed UCC-2 with
respect to the financing statement filed in connection with the Security
Agreement evidencing the partial release of the Collateral.

        4.      Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents
and warrants to the Bank as follows:

                (a)     No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is 
continuing.

                (b)     The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower
of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and 
other action and do not and will not require any registration with, consent or 
approval of, notice to or action by, any person (including any governmental 
authority) in order to be effective and enforceable. Each of the Security 
Agreement and the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitutes 
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against 
it in accordance with its respective terms, without defense, counterclaim or 
offset.


                                      2
<PAGE>   3
                (c)     All representations and warranties of the Borrower 
contained in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement are true and
correct.
        
                (d)     The Borrower is entering into this Amendment on the
basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons, without reliance upon
the Bank or any other person.

$3,000,000.
        
        5.      Effective Date.  This Amendment will become effective as of the
date first above written; provided that the Bank has received from the Borrower
a duly executed original (or, if elected by the Bank, an executed facsimile
copy) of this Amendment.

        6.      Reservation of Rights.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that the execution and delivery by the Bank of this Amendment shall not be
deemed to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate the Bank to forbear
or execute similar amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the
future.

        7.      Miscellaneous.

                (a)     Except as herein expressly amended, all terms,
covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full
force and effect and all references therein to such Credit Agreement shall
henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This
Amendment shall be deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit
Agreement. Except for the partial release of Collateral expressly provided for
herein, all terms, covenants and provisions (including without limitation the
security interest granted thereunder in the Collateral named therein) of the
Security Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect.
        
                (b)     This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and

be delivered by any party thereto either in the form of an executed original or
an executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed promptly by
mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Bank of a facsimile
transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of the Borrower shall
bind the Borrower, with the same force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy
original. Any failure by the Bank to receive the hard copy executed original of
such document shall not diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile
transmitted executed original of such document which hard copy page was not
received by the Bank.

                (e)     This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement,
contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with
reference to the matters discussed herein and therein. This Amendment supersedes

be invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment,
the Credit Agreement, or the Security Agreement, respectively.

                (g)     The Borrower covenants to pay to or reimburse the Bank,
upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including allocated costs of in-house
counsel) incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Amendment.

                WAIVER AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

        THIS WAIVER AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT ("Waiver and

                                   RECITALS

        A.      The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a certain Credit
Agreement dated as of June 30, 1994, as amended (the "Credit Agreement")
pursuant to which the Bank has extended certain credit facilities to the
Borrower.

        B.      The Borrower has reported to the Bank the existence of certain
events of default under the Credit Agreement. The Borrower has requested that
the Bank waive such events of default.

        C.      The Bank is willing to waive such defaults under the Credit
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Waiver and Amendment.

        NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.      Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings, if any, assigned to them in the
Credit Agreement.

        2.      Default of Waiver.

                (a)     For purposes of this Waiver and Amendment, the "Existing
        Defaults" shall mean:

                        (i)     the default existing on this date under Section 
        8.01(c) of the Credit Agreement solely as a consequence of a breach of
        (i) the negative covenant set forth at Section 7.13 of the Credit
        Agreement and (ii) the negative covenant set forth at Section 7.15 of
        the Credit Agreement, in each case solely to the extent such default

        March 31, 1995.

                (b)     Subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereof, 
        the Bank hereby waives the Existing Defaults.

                (c)     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of (or
        otherwise affect the Bank's ability to enforce) any other default or
        Event of Default, including without limitation (i) any default or Event
        of Default as may now or hereafter exist and arise from or otherwise be
        related to the Existing Defaults (including without limitation any

<PAGE>   2
        cross-default arising under the Credit Agreement by virtue of any
        matters resulting from the Existing Defaults), and (ii) any default or
        Event of Default arising at any time after the Effective Date and which
        is the same as the Existing Default.
        
        3.      Amendment to Credit Agreement.  Section 2.02 of the Credit 
Agreement shall be amended by deleting the references in such Section to
"1.00%" and replacing them with "1.50%".
        
        4.      Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents
and warrants to the Bank as follows:

                (a)     Other than the Existing Defaults, no Default or Event of
        Default has occurred and is continuing.

                (b)     The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower
        of this Waiver and Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary
        corporate and other action and do not and will not require any
        registration with, consent or approval of, notice to or action by, any
        person (including any governmental authority) in order to be effective
        and enforceable.  The Credit Agreement as modified by this Waiver and
        Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
        Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective
        terms, without defense, counterclaim or offset.

                (c)     Subject to the Existing Defaults, all representations
        and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement are
        true and correct.

                (d)     The Borrower is entering into this Waiver and Amendment
        on the basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons, without
        reliance upon the Bank or any other Person.

        5.      Effective Date.  This Waiver and Amendment will become effective
as of May 12, 1995 (the "Effective Date"), provided that each of the following
conditions precedent is satisfied:
        
                (a)     The Bank has received from the Borrower a duly executed
        original (or, if elected by the Bank, an executed facsimile copy) of
        this Waiver and Amendment.
        
                (b)     All representations and warranties contained herein are
        true and correct as of the Effective Date.
        
        6.      Reservation of Rights.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that neither the Bank's forbearance in exercising its rights and remedies in
connection with the Existing Defaults, nor the execution and delivery by the
Bank of this Waiver and Amendment, shall be deemed (i) to create a course of
dealing or


                                      2


<PAGE>   3
otherwise obligate the Bank to forbear or execute similar waivers under the
same or similar circumstances in the future, or (ii) to waive, relinquish or
impair any right of the Bank to receive any indemnity or similar payment from
any person or entity as a result of any matter arising from or relating to the
Existing default.
        
        7.      Miscellaneous.

                (a)     Except as herein expressly amended, all terms,
        covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain
        in full force and effect and all references therein to such Credit
        Agreement shall henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as modified by
        this Waiver and Amendment. This Waiver and Amendment shall be deemed
        incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

                (b)     This Waiver and Amendment shall be binding upon and
        inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their
        respective successors and assigns. No third party beneficiaries are
        intended in connection with this Waiver and Amendment.

                (c)     This Waiver and Amendment shall be governed by and
        construed in accordance with the law of the State of California.

                (d)     This Waiver and Amendment may be executed in any number
        of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
        such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same
        instrument. Each of the parties hereto understands and agrees that this
        document (and any other document required herein) may be delivered by
        any party thereto either in the form of an executed original or an
        executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed
        promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the
        Bank of a facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the
        signature of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower, with the same force
        and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original. Any failure by the
        Bank to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall
        not diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted
        executed original of such document which hard copy page was not
        received by the Bank.
        
                (e)     This Waiver and Amendment, together with the Credit
        Agreement, contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties
        hereto with reference to the matters discussed herein and therein. This
        Waiver and Amendment supersedes all prior drafts and communications
        with respect thereto. This Waiver and Amendment may not be amended
        except in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05 of the Credit
        Agreement.

                (f)     If any term or provision of this Waiver and Amendment
        shall be deemed prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such
        provision shall be invalidated without affecting the remaining
        provisions of this Waiver and Amendment or the Credit Agreement,
        respectively.

                (g)     The Borrower covenants to pay to or reimburse the Bank,
        upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including allocated costs of
        in-house counsel) incurred in connection

        of this Waiver and Amendment and the administration of the Existing

                (a)     No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

                (b)     The execution, delivery and performance by the 
Borrower of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
and other action and do not and will not require any registration with, consent
or approval of, notice to or action by, any person (including any governmental
authority) in order to be effective and enforceable.  The Credit Agreement as
amended by this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective       
terms, without defense, counterclaim or offset.

                (c)     All representations and warranties of the Borrower
contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

                (d)     The Borrower is entering into this Amendment on the 
basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons, without reliance upon 
the Bank or any other person.

        4.      Effective Date.  This Amendment will become effective as of
the date first above written; provided that the Bank has received from the
Borrower a duly executed original (or, if elected by the Bank, an executed
facsimile copy) of (a) this Amendment, and (b) a copy of a resolution passed by
the board of directors of the Borrower, certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Borrower as being in full force and effect on the
date hereof, authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this
Amendment.

        5.      Reservation of Rights.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that the execution and delivery by the Bank of this Amendment shall not be
deemed to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate the Bank to forbear
or execute similar amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the
future.

        6.      Miscellaneous.

                (a)     Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants

<PAGE>   4
                (b)     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and
assigns.  No third party beneficiaries are intended in connection with this
Amendment.

counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Each
of the parties hereto understands and agrees that this document (and any other
document required herein) may be delivered by any party thereto either in the
form of an executed original or an executed original sent by facsimile
transmission to be followed promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and
that receipt by the Bank of a facsimile transmitted document purportedly
bearing the signature of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower, with the same
force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original.  Any failure by the
Bank to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not
diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed
original of such document which hard copy page was not received by the Bank.

                (e)     This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement,
contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with

Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

                (f)     If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be 
deemed prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall 
be invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment or 
the Credit Agreement.

upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including allocated costs of in-house
counsel) incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Amendment.

in the Company by purchasing shares (as determined under Article I hereof) of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock").

        NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE I

                      PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK

        1.1     PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK. Upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor

Article I) of Common Stock (the "Shares"), including one Right, as defined in
the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between
Compression Labs, Incorporated and the First National Bank of Boston, dated

however, that no Rights shall be issuable at each of the Closings (as defined
herein) if the Rights have been redeemed or repurchased by the Company prior to

otherwise requires, be deemed to include the associated Rights.

        1.2     INITIAL CLOSING. The Initial Closing Date shall be July 10,
1995, provided, however, that upon notice from the Company to Investor on or

the Nasdaq. The Interim Share Price shall be equal to the average (rounded to
the nearest thousandth of a dollar) of the daily volume-weighted average trade
price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg for the days on which the
Common Stock is trading during the Interim Trading Period. Subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 1.5 hereof, on the Interim Closing Date, if and

be the period beginning on the Agreement Date and ending September 28, 1995,
provided, however, that the ending date shall be extended to include an
additional trading day for the Common Stock for each day during the period
throughout which trading in the Common Stock had been suspended by the SEC or
the Nasdaq. The Final Share Price shall be equal to the average (rounded to the
nearest thousandth of a dollar) of the daily volume-weighted average trade
price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg for the days on which the
Common Stock is trading during the Final Trading Period. Subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 1.5 hereof, on the Final Closing Date, the
Company will issue the Final Share Quantity (as defined below) number of shares
of Common Stock, if any, to the Investor. The Final Share Quantity shall be the
nearest whole number greater than or equal to zero to the quantity:

                 (Interim Share Price -  Final Share Price) x
              (Initial Share Quantity + Interim Share Quantity)
              -------------------------------------------------
                              Final Share Price

In addition, on the Final Closing Date, the Company shall deliver a number of

product of (i) the Supplemental Share Quantity and (ii) the lower of the
Interim Share Price or the Final Share Price.

        1.5     MAXIMUM SHARE LIMITATION.  The maximum number of shares
issuable to Investor pursuant to the Company's obligations under this Agreement
shall be 765,000 shares of Common Stock.
