         Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by
facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the
Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be
promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of
EXHIBIT B hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement,

instructions if in Bank's discretion such Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to

made by Bank to Borrower hereunder. Borrower shall also pay interest on the

                  2.1.1    LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                           (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued letters of credit for the
account of Borrower in an aggregate face amount not to exceed (i) the lesser of
the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the then
outstanding principal balance of the Advances provided that the face amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
Credit) shall not in any case exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000). Each
such letter of credit shall have an expiry date no later than ninety (90) days
after the Revolving Maturity Date provided that Borrower's letter of credit
reimbursement obligation shall be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at
any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not

acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Bank's form of application and letter of credit agreement.

                           (b) The Obligation of Borrower to immediately
reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and such Letters of Credit, under all
circumstances whatsoever. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank
harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with any

                           (a) Borrower may request that Bank issue a letter of
credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a demand for
payment is made under any such letter of credit, Bank shall treat such demand as
an advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus cable
charges) in United States currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange in
San Francisco, California, for sales of that other currency for cable transfer
to the country of which it is the currency.

                           (b) Upon the issuance of any letter of credit payable
in a currency other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a reserve
under the Committed Revolving Line for letters of credit against fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the face
amount of such letter of credit. The amount of such reserve may be amended by
Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The
availability of funds under the Committed Revolving Line shall be reduced by the
amount of such reserve for so long as such letter of credit remains outstanding.

                  2.1.3     EQUIPMENT ADVANCES.

                           (a) At any time from the date hereof through February
19, 1997 (the "EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY END DATE"), Borrower may from time to time
request advances (each an "Equipment Advance" and collectively, the "Equipment
Advances") from Bank in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Committed
Equipment Line. To evidence the Equipment Advance or Equipment Advances,
Borrower shall deliver to Bank, at the time of each Equipment Advance request,
an invoice for the equipment to be purchased. The Equipment Advances shall be
used only to purchase equipment, software, and leaseholds and shall not exceed
One Hundred Percent (100%) of the invoice amount of such equipment approved from
time to time by Bank, excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight
discounts and installation expense.

                           (b) Interest shall accrue from the date of each
Equipment Advance at the rate specified in Section in SECTION 2.3.1(b), and
shall be payable monthly for each month through the month in which the Equipment
Availability End Date falls.

                           (c) When Borrower desires to obtain an Equipment
Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by
facsimile transmission to be received no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time one
(1) Business Day before the day on which the Equipment Advance is to be made.
Such notice shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT B. The notice shall be
signed by a Responsible Officer and include a copy of the invoice for the
Equipment to be financed.

         2.2 OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of
Obligations owed by Borrower exceeds the lesser of (i) the Committed Revolving
Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in
cash, the amount of such excess.

         2.3. INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS.

                  2.3.1 INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on all Advances shall
be applied as follows:

                  (a) Any Advances under the Committed Revolving Line shall bear
interest, on the average Daily Balance, at a rate equal to one-half of one
(0.50) percentage point above the Prime Rate.

                  (b) Any Advances under the Committed Equipment Line shall bear
interest, on the average Daily Balance, at a rate equal to one and one-half
(1.50) percentage points above the Prime Rate.

                  2.3.2 DEFAULT RATE. All Obligations shall bear interest, from
and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5)
percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the
occurrence of the Event of Default.

                  2.3.3 PAYMENTS. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on
the Payment Date of each month during the term hereof. Borrower hereby
authorizes Bank to debit any accounts with Bank, including, without limitation,
Account Number __________ for payments of principal and interest due on the
Obligations and any other amounts owing by Borrower to Bank. Bank will notify
Borrower of all debits which Bank makes against Borrower's accounts. Any such
debits against Borrower's accounts in no way shall be deemed a set-off. Any
interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the
Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then
applicable hereunder.

                  2.3.4 COMPUTATION. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from
time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be
increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is
changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest
chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

         2.4 CREDITING PAYMENTS. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to
such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence
of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds,
check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally
reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such

payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or
interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such
extension.

Borrower acknowledges that Bank may place a "hold" on any Deposit Account
pledged as Collateral to secure the Obligations.

<PAGE>   12



         5.2 DUE AUTHORIZATION; NO CONFLICT. The execution, delivery, and
performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's powers, have been duly
authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will
they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which
Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default
under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which
default could have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.3 NO PRIOR ENCUMBRANCES. Borrower has good and indefeasible title to
the Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

         5.4 BONA FIDE ELIGIBLE ACCOUNTS. The Eligible Accounts are bona fide
existing obligations. The property giving rise to such Eligible Accounts has
been delivered to the account debtor or to the account debtor's agent for
immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor.
Borrower has not received notice of actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of
any account debtor that is included in any Borrowing Base Certificate as an

Bank's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower does not have knowledge of
any such pending or threatened actions or proceedings.

         5.8 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. All
consolidated financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that
have been delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects

has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition
of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements
submitted to Bank.

properties or assets has ever been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the
best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous owners or operators, in the disposal
of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport, any hazardous
waste or hazardous substance other than in accordance with applicable law; to
the best of Borrower's knowledge, none of Borrower's properties or assets has
ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any

default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot
after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period,
and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower
shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not in any case exceed
thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable
time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be deemed an Event
of Default (provided that no Advances will be required to be made during such
cure period);

SECTION 9  BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its
election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which
are authorized by Borrower:



                                       16.



<PAGE>   18




                  9.1.1 Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
SECTION 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank);

                  9.1.2 Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank;

                  9.1.3 Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank
reasonably considers advisable;

                  9.1.4 Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such
payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the
Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as
Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the
Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any
part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance,
charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to
its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith.
With respect to any of Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same,
without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any
of Bank's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

                  9.1.5 Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the
Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or
(ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower held by Bank;

                  9.1.6 Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely
pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 9.1, to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this SECTION 9.1, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's
benefit;

                  9.1.7 Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale,
or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms,
in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Bank
determines is commercially reasonable;

                  9.1.8 Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

                  9.1.9 Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.

         9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Effective only upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true
and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify
account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse
Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may
come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of
lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and
assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account
debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with
respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust disputes
and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; provided Bank may
exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the
documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has
occurred. The appointment


                                       17.



<PAGE>   19



of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank's rights
and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the
Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to
provide advances hereunder is terminated.

     9.3 ACCOUNTS COLLECTION. At any time from the date of this Agreement, Bank
may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank's security interest in
such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all
amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank's
trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as
received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

     9.4 BANK EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any
required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under
the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following: (a)
make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the
Committed Revolving Line as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the
exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies
of the type discussed in SECTION 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with
respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited
by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable,
and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and
shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not
constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a
waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

     9.5 BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. So long as Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or
responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage
thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

     9.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall
have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under
the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall
be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on
Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall
constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be
effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which it was given.

     9.7 DEMAND; PROTEST. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or
renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at
any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

SECTION 10  NOTICES

                         AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE INSURANCE

Grantor: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc.                        Bank: Silicon Valley Bank

         INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. ("Grantor") understands
that insurance coverage is required in connection with the extending of a loan
or the providing of other financial accommodations to Grantor by Bank. These
requirements are set forth in the Loan Documents. The following minimum
insurance coverages must be provided on the following described collateral (the
"Collateral"):

        Collateral:   All Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures.
        Type:         All risks, including fire, theft and liability.
        Amount:       Full insurable value.
        Basis:        Replacement value.
        Endorsements: Loss payable clause to Bank with stipulation that coverage
                      will not be canceled or diminished without a minimum of 
                      twenty (20) days' prior written notice to Bank.

         INSURANCE COMPANY. Grantor may obtain insurance from any insurance
company Grantor may choose that is reasonably acceptable to Bank. Grantor
understands that credit may not be denied solely because insurance was not
purchased through Bank.

         FAILURE TO PROVIDE INSURANCE. Grantor agrees to deliver to Bank, on or
before closing, evidence of the required insurance as provided above, with an
effective date of August 19, 1996, or earlier. Grantor acknowledges and agrees
that if Grantor fails to provide any required insurance or fails to continue
such insurance in force, Bank may do so at Grantor's expense as provided in the
Loan and Security Agreement. The cost of such insurance, at the option of Bank,
shall be payable on demand or shall be added to the indebtedness as provided in
the security document. GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IF BANK SO PURCHASES ANY SUCH
INSURANCE, THE INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE
TO THE COLLATERAL, UP TO THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN; HOWEVER, GRANTOR'S EQUITY IN
THE COLLATERAL MAY NOT BE INSURED. IN ADDITION, THE INSURANCE MAY NOT PROVIDE
ANY PUBLIC LIABILITY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INDEMNIFICATION AND MAY NOT MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS OF ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAWS.

         AUTHORIZATION. For purposes of insurance coverage on the Collateral,
Grantor authorizes Bank to provide to any person (including any insurance
agent or company) all information Bank deems appropriate, whether regarding
the Collateral, the loan or other financial accommodations, or both.

         GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING. READ ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
TO PROVIDE INSURANCE AND AGREES TO ITS TERMS. THIS AGREEMENT IS DATED AUGUST 19,
1996.
