<PAGE>

              (d)    If any of the Collateral is sold on credit or for future

              (e)    Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the purchasers of
the Collateral all instruments and other documents necessary or proper to
sell, convey and transfer title to such Collateral and, if approval of any
sale of Collateral by any governmental body or officer is required, Pledgor
shall prepare or cooperate fully in the preparation of and cause to be filed
with such governmental body or officer all necessary or proper applications,
reports and forms and do all other things necessary or proper to
expeditiously obtain such approval.

              (f)    Any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral and all cash
proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Pledgee, be held by
Pledgee as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter be applied
(after payment of any amounts payable to Pledgee pursuant to Article 4 above)
in whole or in part against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in
such order as Pledgee may elect.  Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds
held by Pledgee and remaining after payment in full of all of Pledgee's
expenses hereunder and the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to Pledgor
or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

       SECTION 5.3   APPOINTMENT OF PLEDGEE AS AGENT.  Pledgor hereby
appoints and constitutes Pledgee, its successors and assigns, as his agent
and attorney-in-fact with the power, after and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and take any
action or execute any instrument that Pledgee considers necessary or
convenient for such purpose, including the power to endorse and deliver
checks, notes and other instruments for the payment of money in the name of
and on behalf of Pledgor, to endorse and deliver in the name of and on behalf
of Pledgor securities certificates and execute and deliver in the name of and
on behalf of Pledgor instructions to the issuers of uncertificated
securities, and to execute and deliver in the name of and on behalf of
Pledgor financing statements (which may be photocopies of this Agreement) and
continuations and amendments to financing statements in the State of
California or elsewhere and Forms 4, 5, 144 and Schedules 13D and 13G with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  This appointment is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and will not be affected by the
death or bankruptcy of Pledgor nor by the lapse of time.  If Pledgor fails to
perform any act required by this Agreement, Pledgee may perform such act in
the name of and on behalf of Pledgor and at his expense.  Pledgor hereby
consents and agrees that the issuers of or obligors of the Collateral or any
registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any of the Collateral shall be
entitled to accept the provisions hereof as conclusive evidence of the rights
of Pledgee to effect any transfer pursuant to this Agreement and the
authority granted to Pledgee herein, notwithstanding any other notice or
direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Pledgor, or any
other person, to any of such issuers, obligors, registrars, transfer agents,
or trustees.

       SECTION 5.4   IMPACT OF REGULATIONS.  Pledgor acknowledges that
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations
thereunder and any relevant state securities laws and other applicable laws may
impose limitations on the right of Pledgee to sell or otherwise dispose of
securities included in the Collateral.  For this reason, Pledgor hereby


                                        6.

<PAGE>

authorizes Pledgee to sell any securities included in the Collateral in such
manner and to such persons as would, in the judgment of Pledgee, help to
ensure that the transfer of such securities will be given prompt and
effective approval by any relevant regulatory authorities and will not
require any of the securities to be registered or qualified under any
applicable securities laws.  Pledgor understands that a sale under the
foregoing circumstances may yield a substantially lower price for such
Collateral than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and
sold in the open market, and Pledgor shall not attempt to hold Pledgee
responsible for selling any of the Collateral at an inadequate price even if
Pledgee accepts the first offer received or if only one possible purchaser
appears or bids at any such sale.  If Pledgee shall sell any securities
included in the Collateral at such sale, Pledgee shall have the right to rely
upon the advice and opinion of any qualified appraiser or investment banker
as to the commercially reasonable price obtainable on the sale thereof but
shall not be obligated to obtain such advice or opinion.  Pledgor hereby
assigns to Pledgee any registration rights or similar rights Pledgor may have
from time to time with respect to any of the Collateral.

                                     ARTICLE 6

                                   MISCELLANEOUS.

       SECTION 6.1   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, the schedules and
exhibits hereto and the agreements and instruments required to be executed
and delivered hereunder set forth the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and discharge all prior
agreements (written or oral) and negotiations and all contemporaneous oral
agreements concerning such subject matter and negotiations.  There are no
oral conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

       SECTION 6.2   NON-WAIVER.  Neither the failure of nor any delay by any
party to this Agreement to enforce any right hereunder or to demand
compliance with its terms is a waiver of any right hereunder.  No action
taken pursuant to this Agreement on one or more occasions is a waiver of any
right hereunder or constitutes a course of dealing that modifies this
Agreement.

       SECTION 6.3   WAIVERS.  No waiver of any right or remedy under this
Agreement shall be binding on any party unless it is in writing and is signed
by the party to be charged.  No such waiver of any right or remedy under any
term of this Agreement shall in any event be deemed to apply to any
subsequent default under the same or any other term contained herein.

       SECTION 6.4   AMENDMENTS.  No amendment, modification or termination
of this Agreement shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in
writing and is signed by the party to be charged.

       SECTION 6.5   SEVERABILITY.  If any term or provision set forth in
this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement, or the application of such terms or provisions to persons or
circumstances, other than those held invalid or unenforceable, shall be
construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable term or
provision were omitted.

       SECTION 6.6   SUCCESSORS.  The terms of this Agreement shall be binding
upon Pledgor, his heirs and personal representatives, and shall inure to the
benefit of Pledgee, its corporate


                                        7.

successors and any holder, owner or assignee of any rights in the Note and
will be enforceable by them as their interest may appear.

Company's compensatory benefit plan for the Company's employees (including
officers), directors or consultants.

     The details of this option are as follows:

     1.   VESTING.  Subject to the limitations contained herein, this option
will vest as provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease
upon the termination of your Continuous Service.  For purposes of this Option
Agreement, Continuous Service shall mean that your service with the Company
or an affiliate of the Company, whether as an employee, director or
consultant, is not interrupted or terminated.  Furthermore, your Continuous
Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in
the capacity in which you render service to the Company or an affiliate as an
employee, director or consultant or a change in the entity for which you
render such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of
your Continuous Service.  For example, a change in status from an employee to
a consultant will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service.  The
Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in that
party's sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be
considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that
party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave.

     2.   METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the exercise price by cash or check
is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of this option, provided that
you may elect, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Grant
Notice, to make payment of the exercise price under the following
alternatives, (i) provided that at the time of exercise the Company's stock
is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal:  payment
by delivery of already-owned Shares, held for the period required to avoid a
charge to the Company's reported earnings, and owned free and clear of any
liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, which Shares shall be
valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise, or (ii) payment
pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board which, prior to the issuance of Shares, results in
either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of
irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company
from the sales proceeds.

     3.   WHOLE SHARES.  This option may be exercised only for whole Shares.

     4.   TERM.  The term of this option commences on the Date of Grant and
expires upon the earliest of:

                                       1.

<PAGE>

          (a)  the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant;

          (b)  eighteen (18) months after your death, if you die while an
employee, director or consultant of the Company or within three (3) months
after termination of your Continuous Service;

          (c)  twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous
Service due to your permanent and total disability (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended); or

          (d)  three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous
Service for any reason other than death or disability.

     5.   EXERCISE.

          (a)  You may exercise the vested portion of this option during its
term by delivering a notice of exercise (in a form designated by the Company)
together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such
other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours,
together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

          (b)  By exercising this option you agree that:

               (i)  As a condition to any exercise of this option, the Company
may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to
the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason
of (1) the exercise of this option; (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of
forfeiture to which the Shares are subject at the time of exercise; or (3) the
disposition of Shares acquired upon such exercise.

               (ii) Regardless of whether the offer and sale of Shares subject
to this option have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act") or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws
of any state, the Company may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other
transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock
certificates) if in the judgment of the Company and its counsel such
restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the
provisions of the 1933 Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

     6.   TRANSFERABILITY.  This option is not transferable, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your lifetime
only by you.

     7.   CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS.  If any change is made in the Shares
subject to this option without the receipt of consideration by the Company
(through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock
split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change
in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company), the option will be appropriately adjusted in the
class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock subject to such
option.  Such adjustments shall be made by the Board of Directors of the
Company, determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive.  (The

                                       2.

<PAGE>

conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated
as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.)

     8.   CHANGE OF CONTROL.  Your option is subject to accelerated vesting
in accordance with the provision of the Wind River Systems, Inc. Executive
Officers' Change of Control Incentive and Severance Benefit Plan, as such
Plan may apply to you.

     9.   PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT; RIGHTS OF HOLDER ON SUBSEQUENT
REGISTRATION. Unless the Shares to be issued upon exercise of your option
have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act, the Company shall be
under no obligation to issue any Shares covered by the option unless the
person who exercises such option, whether such exercise is in whole or in
part, shall give a written representation and undertaking to the Company
which is satisfactory in form and scope to counsel for the Company and upon
which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company may reasonably rely, that
he or she is acquiring the Shares issued to him or her pursuant to such
exercise of the option for his or her own account as an investment and not
with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such
Shares, and that he or she will make no transfer of the same except in
compliance with any rules and regulations in force at the time of such
transfer under the 1933 Act, or any other applicable law, and that if Shares
are issued without such registration a legend to this effect may be endorsed
on the securities so issued.  In the event that the Company shall,
nevertheless, deem it necessary or desirable to register under the 1933 Act
or other applicable statutes any Shares with respect to which an option shall
have been exercised, or to qualify any such Shares for exemption from the
1933 Act or other applicable statutes, then the Company shall take such
action at its own expense and may require from each participant such
information in writing for use in any registration statement, prospectus,
preliminary prospectus or offering circular as is reasonably necessary for
such purpose and may require reasonable indemnity to the Company and its
officers and directors from such holder against all losses, claims, damages
and liabilities arising from such use of the information so furnished and
caused by any untrue statement of any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances under which they were made.

     10.  OPTION NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.  This option is not an
employment contract, and nothing in this option shall be deemed to create in
any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of
the Company, or of the Company to continue your employment with the Company.
The Company may terminate your employment at any time, for any reason or no
reason, with or without cause.

     11.  NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in this option shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of
notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the
United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you
provided to the Company.

     12.  CHOICE OF LAW.  This option shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied
to contracts entered into and performed in such State.

                                       3.

<PAGE>

     13.  GOVERNING AUTHORITY.  This option is subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to
time be promulgated and adopted by the Company.  This authority shall be
exercised by the Board, or by a committee of one or more members of the Board
in the event that the Board delegates its authority to a committee.  The
Board, in the exercise of this authority, may correct any defect, omission or
inconsistency in this option in a manner and to the extent the Board shall
deem necessary or desirable to make this option fully effective.  References
to the Board also include any committee appointed by the Board to administer
and interpret this option.  Any interpretations, amendments, rules and
regulations promulgated by the Board shall be final and binding upon the
Company and its successors in interest as well as you and your heirs,
assigns, and other successors in interest.

Dated the 4th day of December, 1999.

Very truly yours,
