                                 RADISYS CORPORATION
                          1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                         (As Amended through June 6, 2000)


I.     PURPOSE OF PLAN

       As a means by which Employees may share in the Company's growth and
       success, RadiSys Corporation (the "Company") believes that ownership of
       shares of its Common Stock by its Employees is desirable.  To this end,
       and as an incentive to better performance and improved profits, the
       Company has established the RadiSys Corporation 1996 Employee Stock
       Purchase Plan (the "Plan").

       The Company intends that the Plan will constitute an "employee stock
       purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.


II.    DEFINITIONS

       Terms that are capitalized within this document shall have the meanings
       as set forth in Exhibit A, unless otherwise specified within the text.


III.   EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION

       PARTICIPATION

       Subject to the provisions of this Section III, an Employee may elect to
       participate in the Plan effective as of any Enrollment Date by completing
       and filing a Payroll Deduction Authorization Form as provided in
       Section IV.  As of each Enrollment Date, the Company hereby grants a
       right to purchase Shares under the terms of the Plan to each eligible
       Employee who has elected to participate in the Offering commencing on
       that Enrollment Date.

       REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

       A person shall become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first
       Enrollment Date on which that person meets the following requirements:

        a)    The person is an Employee, and

        b)    The person's customary period of Employment is more than twenty
              (20) hours per week.



<PAGE>

       Any eligible Employee may enroll in the Plan as of the Enrollment Date of
       any Offering by filing timely written notice of such participation,
       subject to the following provisions:

       (i)    In order to enroll in the Plan initially, an eligible Employee
              must complete, sign and submit to the Company the following forms:

              (A)    PAYROLL DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION FORM  Must be received by
                     the Company prior to 4:00 p.m., Pacific Time on the
                     Enrollment Date of an Offering to be effective for that
                     Offering.

              (B)    ESPP NEW ACCOUNT FORM  This form must accompany the Payroll
                     Deduction Authorization Form submitted for enrollment in
                     the Plan.  An ESPP New Account Form must be received by the
                     Company prior to 4:00 p.m., Pacific Time on the Enrollment
                     Date of an Offering to be effective for that Offering.

       (ii)   A Participant in an ongoing Offering may elect as of any
              Enrollment Date to enroll in the new Offering commencing on that
              Enrollment Date by filing a Payroll Deduction Authorization Form
              making such election prior to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the
              Enrollment Date.  An election by a current Participant to enroll
              in a new Offering shall constitute a withdrawal, effective as of
              such Enrollment Date, from the ongoing Offering and simultaneous
              reenrollment in the new Offering.  A reenrollment shall not affect
              the purchase of Shares under the ongoing Offering occurring on the
              Purchase Date immediately preceding the Enrollment Date.  A
              Participant may make an ongoing election to reenroll on any
              Enrollment Date as of which the fair market value of the Shares
              for purposes of Section VI is less than it was as of the
              Enrollment Date for the Offering in which the Participant is
              currently participating.  Unless otherwise specified by the
              Participant, any such ongoing reenrollment election shall be
              subject to revocation; provided, however, that to be effective to
              prevent reenrollment on any Enrollment Date, such revocation must
              be received by the Company prior to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the
              Enrollment Date.

       (iii)  Absent withdrawal from the Plan pursuant to Section VII, a
              Participant will automatically be re-enrolled in the Offering
              commencing on the Enrollment Date immediately following the
              expiration of the Offering of which that person is then a
              Participant.

       A Participant shall become ineligible to participate in the Plan and
       shall cease to be a Participant when the Participant ceases to meet the
       eligibility requirements as defined above.

                                       2

       LIMITATIONS ON PARTICIPATION

       No Employee may obtain a right to purchase Shares under the Plan if,
       immediately after the right is granted, the Employee owns or is deemed to
       own Shares possessing five percent (5%) or more of the combined voting
       power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or
       subsidiary of the Company.  For purposes of determining share ownership,
       the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply and Shares that the
       Employee may purchase under any options or rights to purchase, whether or
       not Vested, shall be treated as Shares owned by the Employee.

       No Employee may obtain a right to purchase Shares under the Plan that
       permits the Employee's rights to purchase Shares under the Plan and any
       other employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of
       the Code of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company to
       accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 in fair market value of Shares
       (determined as of the Enrollment Date) for each calendar year of the
       Offering.  This section shall be interpreted to permit an Employee to
       purchase the maximum number of Shares permitted under Section 423(b)(8)
       of the Code and regulations and interpretations adopted thereunder.

       The maximum number of Shares that an Employee may purchase in an Offering
       shall not exceed 10,000 shares, no more than one-third of which may be
       purchased on any Purchase Date on or prior to August 15, 2000, and no
       more than one-sixth of which may be purchased on any Purchase Date after
       August 15, 2000.

       VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION

       Participation in the Plan shall be strictly voluntary.


IV.    PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

       PAYROLL DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION

       An Employee may contribute to the Plan only by means of payroll
       deductions.  A Payroll Deduction Authorization Form must be filed with
       the Company's stock administrator prior to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the
       Enrollment Date as of which the payroll deductions are to take effect.

       AMOUNT OF DEDUCTIONS

       A Participant may specify that the person desires to make contributions
       to the Plan at a rate not less than 1% and not more than 15% of the
       Compensation paid to the Participant during each pay period in the
       Offering, or other such minimum or


                                       3

<PAGE>

       maximum percentages as the Plan Administrator shall establish from time
       to time; provided, however, that a Participant in any Offering that
       commenced prior to August 15, 2000 may not specify during that Offering
       contributions to the Plan of more than 10% of Compensation.  Such
       specification shall apply during any period of continuous participation
       in the Plan, unless otherwise modified or terminated as provided in this
       Section IV or as otherwise provided in the Plan.  If a payroll deduction
       cannot be made in whole or in part because the Participant's pay for the
       period in question is insufficient to fund the deduction after having
       first withheld all other amounts deductible from that person's pay, the
       amount that was not withheld cannot be made up by the Participant nor
       will it be withheld from subsequent pay checks.

       COMMENCEMENT OF DEDUCTIONS

       Payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the Enrollment
       Date of the Offering for which that person's Payroll Deduction
       Authorization Form is effective and shall continue indefinitely, unless
       modified or terminated as provided in this Section IV or as otherwise
       provided in the Plan.

       ACCOUNTS

       All payroll deductions made for a Participant shall be credited to his or
       her Account under the Plan.  Following each Purchase Date, the Plan
       Administrator shall promptly deliver a report to each Participant setting
       forth the aggregate payroll deductions credited to such Participant's
       Account since the last Purchase Date and the number of Shares purchased
       and delivered to the Custodian for deposit into the Participant's
       Custodial Account.

       MODIFICATION OF AUTHORIZED DEDUCTIONS

       A Participant may at any time increase or decrease the amount of that
       person's payroll deduction effective for all applicable payroll periods,
       by completing an amended Payroll Deduction Authorization Form and filing
       it with the Company's stock administrator in accordance with this
       Section IV; provided, however, that a Participant in any Offering that
       commenced prior to August 15, 2000 may not change the amount of that
       person's payroll deduction more than three times during that Offering.

       A Participant may at any time discontinue the Participant's payroll
       deductions, without withdrawing from the Plan, by completing an amended
       Payroll Deduction Authorization Form and filing it with the Company's
       stock administrator.  Previous payroll deductions will then be retained
       in the Participant's Account for application to purchase Shares on the
       next Purchase Date, after which the Participant's participation in the
       Offering and in the Plan will terminate unless the participant has timely
       filed another Payroll Deduction Authorization Form to resume payroll
       deductions.

                                       4

<PAGE>

       For purposes of the above, an amended Payroll Deduction Authorization
       form shall be effective for a specific pay period when filed 7 days prior
       to the last day of such payroll period; provided, however, that for a
       Participant in any Offering that commenced prior to August 15, 2000 an
       amended Payroll Deduction Authorization form shall be effective for a
       specific pay period during that Offering when filed 15 days prior to the
       last day of such payroll period.


V.     CUSTODY OF SHARES

       DELIVERY AND CUSTODY OF SHARES

       Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan shall be delivered to and held by
       the Custodian.

       CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT

       As soon as practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company shall
       deliver to the Custodian the full Shares purchased for each Participant's
       Account.  The Shares will be held in a Custodial Account specifically
       established for this purpose.  An Employee must open a Custodial Account
       with the Custodian in order to be eligible to purchase Shares under the
       Plan.  In order to open a Custodial Account, the Participant must
       complete an ESPP New Account Form and file it with the stock
       administrator prior to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Enrollment Date of
       the Offering as of which the enrollment is to take effect; provided,
       however, that an ESPP New Account Form that effects a change in the
       status of the Custodial Account may be filed at any time during
       participation in the Plan.

       TRANSFER OF SHARES

       Upon receipt of appropriate instructions from a Participant on forms
       provided for that purpose, the Custodian will transfer into the
       Participant's own name all or part of the Shares held in the
       Participant's Custodial Account and deliver such Shares to the
       Participant.

       STATEMENTS

       The Custodian will deliver to each Participant a semi-annual statement
       showing the activity of the Participant's Custodial Account and the
       balance as to both Shares and cash.  Participants will be furnished such
       other reports and statements, and at such intervals, as the Custodian and
       Plan Administrator shall determine from time to time.

                                       5

VI.    PURCHASE OF SHARES

       PURCHASE OF SHARES

       Subject to the limitations of Section VII, on each Purchase Date in an
       Offering, the Company shall apply the amount credited to each
       Participant's Account to the purchase of as many full Shares that may be
       purchased with such amount at the price set forth in this Section VI, and
       shall promptly deliver such Shares to the Custodian for deposit into the
       Participant's Custodial Account.  Payment for Shares purchased under the
       Plan will be made only through payroll withholding deductions in
       accordance with Section IV.

       PRICE

       The price of Shares to be purchased on any Purchase Date shall be the
       lower of:

              (a)    Eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the
              Shares on the Enrollment Date of the Offering; or

              (b)    Eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the
              Shares on the Purchase Date.

       FAIR MARKET VALUE

       The fair market value of the Shares on any date shall be equal to the
       closing trade price of such shares on the Valuation Date, as reported on
       the NASDAQ National Market System or such other quotation system that
       supersedes it.

       UNUSED CONTRIBUTIONS

       Any amount credited to a Participant's Account and remaining therein
       immediately after a Purchase Date because it was less than the amount
       required to purchase a full Share shall be carried forward in such
       Participant's Account for application on the next succeeding Purchase
       Date.


VII.   TERMINATION AND WITHDRAWAL

       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

       Upon termination of a Participant's Employment for any reason other than
       death, the payroll deductions credited to such Participant's Account
       shall be returned to the Participant.  A Participant shall have no right
       to accrue Shares upon termination of the person's Employment.

                                       6

<PAGE>

       TERMINATION UPON DEATH

       Upon termination of the Participant's Employment because of that person's
       death, the payroll deductions credited to that person's Account shall be
       used to purchase Shares as provided in Section VI on the next Purchase
       Date.  Any Shares purchased and any remaining balance shall be
       transferred to the deceased Participant's Beneficiary, or if none, to
       that person's estate.

       DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

       Each Participant may designate, revoke, and redesignate Beneficiaries.
       All changes to designation of Beneficiary shall be in writing and will be
       effective upon delivery to the Plan Administrator.

       WITHDRAWAL

       A Participant may withdraw the entire amount credited to that
       individual's Account under the Plan and thereby terminate participation
       in the current Offering at any time by giving written notice to the
       Company, but in no case may a Participant withdraw accounts within the
       15 days immediately preceding a Purchase Date for the Offering.  Any
       amount withdrawn shall be paid to the Participant promptly after receipt
       of proper notice of withdrawal and no further payroll deductions shall be
       made from the person's Compensation unless a Payroll Deduction
       Authorization Form directing further deductions is or has been submitted.

       STATUS OF CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT

       Upon termination of a Participant's Employment for any reason other than
       death, the Participant may,

              (a)    Elect to retain with the Custodian the Shares held in the
              Participant's Custodial Account.  The Participant will bear the
              cost of any annual fees resulting from maintaining such an
              account.

              (b)    Request issuance of the Shares held in the Participant's
              Custodial Account by submitting to the Custodian the appropriate
              forms provided for that purpose.

       Upon termination of a Participant's Employment as a result of death, any
       Shares held by the Custodian for the Participant's Account shall be
       transferred to the person(s) entitled thereto under the laws of the state
       of domicile of the Participant upon a proper showing of authority.

                                       7

<PAGE>


VIII.  SHARES PURCHASED UNDER THE PLAN

       SOURCE AND LIMITATION OF SHARES

       The Company has reserved for sale under the Plan 1,250,000(*) shares of
       common stock, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the
       Company as provided in Section X.  Shares sold under the Plan may be
       newly issued Shares or Shares reacquired in private transactions or open
       market purchases, but all Shares sold under the Plan regardless of source
       shall be counted against the 1,250,000* Share limitation.

       If there is an insufficient number of Shares to permit the full exercise
       of all existing rights to purchase Shares, or if the legal obligations of
       the Company prohibit the issuance of all Shares purchasable upon the full
       exercise of such rights, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro rata
       allocation of the Shares remaining available in as nearly a uniform and
       equitable manner as possible, based pro rata on the aggregate amounts
       then credited to each Participant's Account.  In such event, payroll
       deductions to be made shall be reduced accordingly and the Plan
       Administrator shall give written notice of such reduction to each
       Participant affected thereby.  Any amount remaining in a Participant's
       Account immediately after all available Shares have been purchased will
       be promptly remitted to such Participant.  Determination by the Plan
       Administrator in this regard shall be final, binding and conclusive on
       all persons.  No deductions shall be permitted under the Plan at any time
       when no Shares are available.

       DELIVERY OF SHARES

       As promptly as practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company shall
       deliver to the Custodian the full Shares purchased for each Participant's
       Account.

       INTEREST IN SHARES

       The rights to purchase Shares granted pursuant to this Plan will in all
       respects be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, as
       interpreted by the Plan Administrator from time to time.  The Participant
       shall have no interest in Shares purchasable under the Plan until payment
       for the Shares has been completed at the close of business on the
       relevant Purchase Date.  The Plan provides only an unfunded, unsecured
       promise by the Company to pay money or property in the future.  Except
       with respect to the Shares purchased on a Purchase Date, an Employee
       choosing to participate in the Plan shall

---------------------------
       (*) Adjusted to reflect a 3-for-2 stock split of the shares of Common
Stock, without par value, of the Company, effected in the form of a 50% share
dividend in accordance with ORS 60.154, declared by the Board of Directors on
October 19, 1999, and paid on November 29, 1999 to shareholders of record at the
close of business on November 8, 1999.


                                       8

<PAGE>

       have no greater rights than an unsecured creditor of the Company.  After
       the purchase of Shares, the Participant shall be entitled to all rights
       of a stockholder of the Company.


IX.    ADMINISTRATION

       PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

       At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Plan shall be
       administered by the Board of Directors or by a Committee appointed by the
       Board of Directors.  Each member of the Committee shall be either a
       director, an officer or an Employee of the Company.  Each member shall
       serve for a term commencing on a date specified by the Board of Directors
       and continuing until that person dies, resigns or is removed by the Board
       of Directors.

       POWERS

       The Plan Administrator shall be vested with full authority to make,
       administer and interpret the rules and regulations as it deems necessary
       to administer the Plan.  Any determination, decision or act of the Plan
       Administrator with respect to any action in connection with the
       construction, interpretation, administration or application of the Plan
       shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all Participants and any and
       all other persons claiming under or through any Participant.  The
       provisions of the Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with the
       requirements of Section 423 of the Code.


X.     CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, MERGER, ETC.

       RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY

       The grant of a right to purchase Shares pursuant to this Plan shall not
       affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
       reclassifications, reorganizations or other changes in its capital or
       business structure or to merge, consolidate or dissolve, liquidate or
       transfer all or any part of its divisions, subsidiaries, business or
       assets.

       RECAPITALIZATION

       Subject to any required action by stockholders, the number of Shares
       covered by the Plan as provided in Section VIII and the price per Share
       shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
       number of issued Shares of the Company resulting from a subdivision or
       consolidation of Shares or the payment of a stock


                                       9

<PAGE>

       dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of such Shares
       effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company.

       CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER

       In the event of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
       any other business entity, or sale by the Company of substantially all of
       its assets, the successor may at its discretion continue the Plan by
       adopting the same by resolution of its Board of Directors or agreement of
       its partners or proprietors.  If, within 90 days after the effective date
       of a consolidation, merger, or sale of assets, the successor corporation,
       partnership or proprietorship does not adopt the Plan, the Plan shall be
       terminated in accordance with Section XIII.


XI.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

       LEAVE

       A person's Employment shall not terminate on account of an authorized
       leave of absence or sick leave, or on account of a military leave
       described in this Section XI, or a direct transfer between Employers,
       provided such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, so long as the
       person's right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute or by contract.
       Failure to return to work upon expiration of any leave of absence or sick
       leave shall be considered a resignation effective as of the expiration of
       such leave of absence or sick leave.

       MILITARY LEAVE

       Any Employee who leaves the Employer directly to perform services in the
       Armed Forces of the United States or in the United States Public Health
       Service under conditions entitling the Employee to reemployment rights
       provided by the laws of the United States, shall be on military leave.
       An Employee's military leave shall expire if the Employee voluntarily
       resigns from the Employer during the leave or if that person fails to
       make an application for reemployment within a period specified by such
       law for preservation of employment rights.  In such event, the
       individual's Employment shall terminate by resignation on the day the
       military leave expires.


XII.   STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AND RULINGS

       The Plan is expressly made subject to (a) the approval of the Plan within

       Company a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is sought but not
       received on or before one year after this Plan's adoption by the Board
       of Directors, this Plan shall not come into effect.  In that case, the
       Account of each Participant shall forthwith be paid to the Participant.

XIII.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

       AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

       The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time amend the Plan.
       Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment may adversely affect or
       change any right to purchase Shares without prior approval of the
       stockholders of the Company if the amendment would:

       (i)    Permit the sale of more Shares than are authorized under
              Section VIII;

       (ii)   Permit the sale of Shares to employees of entities which are not
              Employers;

       (iii)  Materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under
              the Plan; or

       (iv)   Materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
              participation in the Plan.

       The Plan is intended to be a permanent program, but the Company reserves
       the right to declare the Plan terminated at any time.  Upon such
       termination, amounts credited to the Accounts of the Participants with
       respect to whom the Plan has been terminated shall be returned to such
       Participants.

       NON-TRANSFERABILITY

       Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant's Account nor any
       rights with regard to the purchase of Shares under the Plan may be
       assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the
       Participant except as provided in Section VII, and any attempted
       assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be null and
       void.  The Company may treat any such act as an election to withdraw
       funds in accordance with Section VII.  A Participant's rights to purchase
       Shares under the Plan are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime
       only by the Participant.

                                       11

<PAGE>

       USE OF FUNDS

       All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may
       be used by the Company for any corporate purposes and the Company shall
       not be obligated to segregate the payroll deductions.

       EXPENSES

       All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
       The Company will not pay expenses, commissions or taxes incurred in
       connection with sales of Shares by the Custodian at the request of a
       Participant.  Expenses to be paid by a Participant will be deducted from
       the proceeds of sale prior to remittance.

       TAX WITHHOLDING

       Each Participant who has purchased Shares under the Plan shall
       immediately upon notification of the amount due, if any, pay to the
       Employer in cash amounts necessary to satisfy any applicable federal,
       state and local tax withholding determined by the Employer to be
       required.  If the Employer determines that additional withholding is
       required beyond any amounts deposited at the time of purchase, the
       Participant shall pay such amount to the Employer on demand.  If the
       Participant fails to pay the amount demanded, the Employer may withhold
       that amount from other amounts payable by the Employer to the
       Participant, including salary, subject to applicable law.

       NO INTEREST

       No Participant shall be entitled, at any time, to any payment or credit
       for interest with respect to or on the payroll deductions contemplated
       herein, or on any other assets held hereunder for the Participant's
       Account.

       REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF SHARES

       The offering of Shares hereunder shall be subject to the effecting by the
       Company of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any
       federal or state law or the obtaining of the consent or approval of any
       governmental regulatory body which the Company shall determine, in its
       sole discretion, is necessary or desirable as a condition to, or in
       connection with, the offering or the issue or purchase of the Shares
       covered thereby.  The Company shall make every reasonable effort to
       effect such registration or qualification or to obtain such consent or
       approval.

                                       12

       RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEMNITY

       Neither the Company, its Board of Directors, the Custodian, nor any
       member, officer, agent or employee of any of them, shall be liable to any
       Participant under the Plan for any mistake of judgment or for any
       omission or wrongful act unless resulting from gross negligence, willful
       misconduct or intentional misfeasance.  The Company will indemnify and
       save harmless its Board of Directors, the Custodian and any such member,
       officer, agent or employee against any claim, loss, liability or expense
       arising out of the Plan, except such as may result from the gross
       negligence, willful misconduct or intentional misfeasance of such entity
       or person.

       PLAN NOT A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT

       The Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Employer
       and shall not constitute a contract between the Employer and any
       Employee, or consideration for or an inducement or a condition of
       employment of an Employee.  Except as otherwise required by law, or any
       applicable collective bargaining agreement, nothing contained in the Plan
       shall give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of the
       Employer or to interfere with or restrict the right of the Employer,
       which is hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or retire any Employee
       at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice.  Except as
       otherwise required by law, inclusion under the Plan will not give any
       Employee any right or claim to any benefit hereunder except to the extent
       such right has specifically become fixed under the terms of the Plan.
       The doctrine of substantial performance shall have no application to any
       Employee, Participant, or Beneficiary.  Each condition and provision,
       including numerical items, has been carefully considered and constitutes
       the minimum limit on performance which will give rise to the applicable
       right.

       SERVICE OF PROCESS

       The Secretary of the Company is hereby designated agent for service
       or legal process on the Plan.

       NOTICE

       All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under
       or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given
       when received by the Plan Administrator.  Any notice required by the Plan
       to be received by the Company prior to an Enrollment Date, payroll period
       or other specified date, and received by the Plan Administrator
       subsequent to such date shall be effective on the next occurring
       Enrollment Date, payroll period or other specified date to which such
       notice applies.

       with it.  To the extent state law is applicable, the laws of the State of
