3 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on average common and common equivalent shares outstanding (194.6 and 193.4 million shares for the second quarters of 1996 and 1995, and 194.4 and 192.3 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995). Shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive stock options and upon conversion of dilutive convertible debentures are included in average common and common equivalent shares outstanding. In the first quarter of 1996, the company issued $300 million of 6.125 percent notes due 2006. Beginning in 1996, the company has made reclassifications to its statement of income to conform with current industry practices. Research and development expense, which was previously included in cost of revenues, is now presented separately. Also, employees' retirement and profit sharing plans expense, previously separately reported, is now allocated throughout operating costs and expenses, consistent with other employee benefit costs. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. Financial results for the third quarter of 1996 will reflect the purchase of Silicon Systems Inc., which was acquired in July via a stock purchase agreement for $340 million in cash plus the assumption of a $235 million long term note to TDK Corp. of Japan. The cash payment was initially financed by a draw down on TI's existing line of bank credit. The company is considering various alternatives for permanent financing. TI expects to take a one-time charge in the third quarter for the value of acquired in- process R&D, estimated to be approximately $180 million, or $0.95 per share. There is no tax offset associated with this one-time charge. The statements of income, statements of cash flows and balance sheet at June 30, 1996, are not audited but reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the periods shown. 4 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Continued sharp price declines for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips and lower semiconductor royalty revenues adversely affected the financial performance of the Registrant (the "company" or "TI") during the second quarter of 1996. In contrast to the difficult memory market environment, TI's mixed signal and application specific products, which include digital signal processors and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), achieved record revenues during the quarter. FINANCIAL SUMMARY Net revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were $2845 million, down 12 percent from the second quarter of 1995, and down sequentially from the first quarter of 1996. The decrease resulted primarily from the continued decline in DRAM prices and lower semiconductor royalty revenues. Profit from operations for the second quarter was $96 million, compared with $403 million in the second quarter of 1995. Net income for the quarter was $76 million, compared with $278 million in the second quarter of 1995. Earnings per share were $0.39, compared with $1.44 in the second quarter of 1995. Revenues in the second quarter of 1996 versus the year-ago period were up in all TI businesses except semiconductors. Revenues of differentiated semiconductor products were ahead of the year-ago period and up slightly from the first quarter of 1996, but not enough to offset the sharp decline in DRAM prices. As a result, total semiconductor orders, revenues and profits were down substantially from year-ago and first quarter 1996 levels, which negatively impacted TI's second quarter results. SEMICONDUCTORS Average DRAM unit prices were down 65-75 percent in the second quarter of 1996, compared with the year-ago period, and 40-50 percent from the first quarter of 1996. At the same time, R&D investments for next-generation products and costs associated with ramping of 16-megabit production at TI's Avezzano, Italy, facility have increased, resulting in a loss in TI's memory operations. TI's joint ventures, which share in the risks and rewards of DRAM production, help reduce the effect of market volatility on TI. However, as in the first quarter of 1996, these supply arrangements were not able to fully comprehend the sharp decline in average unit prices in the second quarter of 1996. Demand for mature logic products remains soft, and pricing pressures have increased. The memory correction continues with signs of industry production in excess of current demand. However, unit demand for memory has remained strong, and lower DRAM prices should stimulate increased memory content per computer. In this environment, with uncertain near-term visibility, TI is taking the following actions: 5 - Trimming back selectively on semiconductor capital equipment expenditures; - Emphasizing development of 0.35-micron, 16-megabit DRAMs and next- generation DRAMs; and - Strengthening the long-term focus on digital signal processing solutions (DSPS) with the recent acquisition of Silicon Systems Inc. (SSi), a leading supplier of components to the mass storage industry; and through the recent Tartan Inc. acquisition, doubling TI's software support for DSP customers. DEFENSE SYSTEMS & ELECTRONICS Revenues in TI's defense systems and electronics business increased slightly in the second quarter of 1996 versus the year-ago period. The business continued to maintain stable margins. During the quarter, the first deployment was made to U.S. operational forces of Javelin anti-tank missile systems from the TI/Martin Marietta joint venture. This First Unit Equipped (FUE) status is an important milestone for this breakthrough "fire-and- forget" infantry anti-tank weapon system. Demand for Paveway precision-guided weapons continued to expand during the quarter with international customers now in 28 countries and additional systems being purchased for the U.S. Navy. TI's move toward commercial practices is resulting in lower costs to the customer, and helping to extend and broaden the market for this product. MATERIALS & CONTROLS Revenues in TI's materials and controls business were up slightly from the second quarter of 1995. Margins were stable with year-ago levels. TI's electronics-based sensor activities continue to grow, and new TI Registration and Identification (TIRIS)( applications are being developed in radio frequency sports timing, security and automotive anti-theft systems. PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY PRODUCTS Revenues in TI's personal productivity products business were up substantially from the second quarter of 1995, reflecting revenues that more than doubled for mobile computing products, and continued success in the instructional calculator market. EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES TI is continuing to invest in emerging opportunities that provide higher value added digital solutions, such as Digital Light Processing( (DLP)(. Costs associated with production ramp-up of initial products for the commercial projection market were higher than expected and will remain at a high level in the second half of 1996. TI software business revenues were up over the second quarter of 1995, primarily due to higher software sales in the Americas. The joint TI/Microsoft project to develop an industry standard repository 6 specification for software components has been completed and TI is moving forward with the development of products incorporating this standard. SUMMARY Because of imbalances in the worldwide DRAM market and recent weakness in end equipment demand reported by some major producers, TI expects competitive pressures for semiconductors to continue in the near term. Although bit growth remains strong, the memory market will be down sharply in 1996 versus 1995, because of significantly lower DRAM prices. As a result, the total semiconductor market is expected to decline in 1996. In this environment, TI continues to emphasize system-level design activity to support customers' electronic end equipment, particularly in mass storage, networking and wireless communications. With the need to maintain appropriate investments in next-generation products, the company expects little or no improvement in the near-term financial performance of its semiconductor business. The recent acquisition of SSi provides the opportunity to couple TI's DSP leadership, manufacturing capacity and process technology with SSi's design capability and systems expertise in mixed signal/analog circuits. TI believes this combination will strengthen its DSPS strategy and broaden the number of functions that can be integrated onto single chips. Financial results for the third quarter of 1996 will reflect the purchase of SSi, which was acquired in July. TI expects to take a one-time charge for the value of acquired in-process R&D, estimated to be approximately $180 million, or $0.95 per share. There is no tax offset associated with this one-time charge. The longer-term outlook for the world semiconductor market remains positive, and consumption is expected to double over the next five years, exceeding $300 billion. The Asia-Pacific region remains a major long-term opportunity. TI is well-positioned there and plans to continue to strengthen its base in this strategic area of the world, which could become one of the largest consumers of semiconductors in the 21st century. 7 Additional Financial Information

TI's orders for the second quarter of 1996 were $2216 million, compared with $3462 million in the same period of 1995. The decrease was due primarily to the weak DRAM market, which resulted in repricing the DRAM backlog. The decrease in defense systems and electronics resulted from lower HARM orders. Excluding TI's Custom Manufacturing unit (CMS), which was sold in the first quarter of 1996, digital products orders increased 34 percent in the second quarter of 1996 over the second quarter of 1995, due primarily to increased orders in mobile computing. TI's revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were $2845 million, compared with $3238 million in the same period of 1995. The decrease in components segment revenues resulted primarily from lower DRAM revenues and lower semiconductor royalties. The increase in defense systems and electronics revenues was due to shipments of Paveway. Digital products revenues, excluding CMS, were up 27 percent, primarily due to increased mobile computing revenues. Profit from operations for the second quarter decreased 76 percent to $96 million from the second quarter of 1995, primarily because of the abrupt drop in DRAM prices and lower royalty revenues. Royalty revenues were $105 million lower primarily due to the previously reported expiration of patent licenses, principally the license with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. TI has reached an agreement in principle with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. on the major terms and conditions of a 10-year worldwide semiconductor cross-license. When executed, the new agreement will be effective as of April 1, 1996, the first date after expiration of a similar five-year agreement between the parties. 8 The agreement recognizes the patents of both parties and is consistent with TI's objective of receiving fair value for its technology. Under the agreement, Matsushita will pay ongoing royalties to TI based on Matsushita's worldwide sales of integrated circuit products. The royalty rates under the new agreement are lower than the rate under the prior agreement in recognition of the longer license term. Negotiations continue with other companies for renewal of expired licenses. However, these negotiations by their nature are not predictable as to outcome or timing. Components segment profit was down considerably over the second quarter of 1995, primarily due to abrupt price declines in DRAMs and lower royalty revenues. The digital segment operated at a loss during the quarter primarily due to continued high marketing investments and new product development in mobile computing, software, and communications and electronic systems. For the first six months of 1996, TI's orders were $5410 million, compared with $6774 million for the first six months of 1995. The decrease in component segment orders resulted from the weak DRAM market. The digital segment orders, excluding CMS, were up 32 percent due to mobile computing. Net revenues for the first half of 1996 were $5921 million, compared with $6099 million in the first half of 1995. The decrease in component segment revenue resulted from lower DRAM revenues and lower royalties. The increase in digital products revenue, 31 percent excluding CMS, was due primarily to increased revenue in mobile computing. TI's profit from operations for the first six months of 1996 was $293 million, compared with $747 million in the first half of 1995. The decrease was primarily from lower semiconductor profits due to the unprecedented drop in DRAM prices and lower semiconductor royalty revenues. The moderate digital segment loss was due primarily to operating losses in personal productivity products and communication and electronic systems. Net income for the first half of 1996 was $239 million, compared with $508 million in the first six months of 1995. Earnings per share were $1.23, compared with $2.65. The income tax rate for the first half of 1996 was 28 percent, which is the current estimate of the rate for the full year, excluding the effect of the SSi one-time R&D charge. During the first half of 1996, cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments decreased by $536 million to $1017 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was negatively impacted by the pay-out of 1995 profit sharing in the first quarter. Investments in property, plant and equipment were $1162 million for the half. The sale of TI's Custom Manufacturing business has generated $132 million of cash. In the first quarter, TI issued $300 million of 6.125 percent notes due 2006. In the second quarter the balance of Italian lira mortgage notes increased by $102 million. In June TI announced the pending acquisition of Silicon Systems Inc. via a stock purchase agreement for $340 million in cash plus the assumption of a $235 million long-term note to TDK Corp. of Japan. The transaction closed 9 in July, and the cash payment was initially financed by a draw down on TI's existing line of bank credit. The company is considering various alternatives for permanent financing. The company is also considering the redemption at par of $150 million of nine percent notes due 1999. At June 30, 1996, the debt-to-total-capital ratio was .23, up from .21 at the end of the first quarter and .17 at year-end 1995. TI's backlog of unfilled orders as of June 30, 1996, was $3925 million, down $646 million from the second quarter of 1995 and down $629 million from the first quarter of 1996. Most of the decrease was in semiconductors, reflecting lower DRAM prices and in defense systems and electronics. TI's R&D was $253 million in the second quarter of 1996, compared with $215 million in the second quarter of 1995. R&D for the first six months of 1996 was $516 million, compared with $428 million in the first half of 1995. R&D for the full year is expected to be $1.2 billion, including the estimated R&D charge associated with the SSi acquisition. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of this year were $620 million, compared with $300 million in the second quarter of 1995 and $1162 million for the first half of 1996, compared with $522 million for the first six months of 1995. Capital expenditures for the full year 1996 are expected to be $2.3 billion, compared with the $2.5 billion previously projected. Depreciation in the second quarter of 1996 was $232 million, compared with $182 million in the second quarter of 1995, and $422 million for the first six months of 1996, compared with $359 million for the same period of 1995. Depreciation for the total year is projected to be about $1 billion. Return on net assets (RONA) and return on common equity (ROCE) are measures TI uses to monitor progress in building shareholder value. For the four quarters ending June 30, 1996, RONA was 16.4 percent, and ROCE was 20.9 percent. In the four quarters ending June 30, 1995, RONA was 22.1 percent and ROCE was 28.3 percent.

The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors which

Shares Available for Awards

Subject to adjustment as provided below:

(a)     Number of Shares Available

        (i)  Overall.  The number of Shares available for granting Awards 
             (including Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 
             and Other Stock-Based Awards) under the Plan during the term of 
             the Plan shall be 18,500,000 shares.  If, after the effective 
             date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an award granted under 
             the Plan, or by an option granted under the Company's 1984 or 
             1988 Stock Option Plans, or an award granted under the Company's 
             Long-Term Incentive Plan adopted April 15, 1993, or to which such 
             an award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award or such an 
             option otherwise terminates without the delivery of Shares or of 
             other consideration, then the Shares covered by such award or 
             option, or to which such award relates, or the number of Shares 
             otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares 
             available under the Plan with respect to such award, to the 
             extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be, or 
             shall become, available for granting awards under the Plan to 
             the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3.


       (ii)  Additional Restriction.  The maximum number of Shares that may be 
             awarded under paragraph (b), "Restricted Stock and Restricted 
             Stock Units", and paragraph (d), "Other Stock-Based Awards", 
             under the heading "Awards" below during the term of the Plan 
             shall be 2,000,000 shares.

(b)     Accounting for Awards

For purposes of this section:

        (i)  If an Award is denominated in Shares, the number of Shares 
             covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, shall be 
             counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate 
             number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan; 
             and

       (ii)  Awards not denominated in Shares shall be counted against the 
             aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under 
             the Plan in such amount and at such time as the Committee shall 
             determine under procedures adopted by the Committee consistent 
             with the purposes of the Plan;

provided, however, that Awards that operate in tandem with (whether granted 
simultaneously with or at a different time from) other Awards may be counted 



                                       4

or not counted under procedures adopted by the Committee in order to avoid 
double counting.  Any Shares that are delivered by the Company, and any Awards 
that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company, through the 
assumption by the Company of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards 
previously granted by an acquired company shall not, except in the case of 
Awards granted to employees who are officers or directors of the Company for 
purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, be 
counted against the Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan.

(c)     Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards

Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of 
authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

(d)     Adjustments

In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other 
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other 
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, 
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange 
of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other 
rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar 
corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is 
determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or 
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made 
available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may 
deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or 
other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of 
Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) 
subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise 
price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for 
a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, however, in 
each case, that with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options no such 
adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause 
the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or any successor provision 
thereof; and provided further, that the number of Shares subject to any Award 
denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

Awards

(a)     Options.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to 
Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such additional 
terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of 
the Plan, as the Committee shall determine:

        (i)  Exercise Price.  The purchase price per Share purchasable under 
             an Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, 
             however, that, except in the case of Options granted through 
             assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards 
             previously granted by an acquired company, such purchase price 
             shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the 
             date of grant of such Option.

       (ii)  Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the 
             Committee.





                                       5

      (iii)  Time and Method of Exercise.  The Committee shall determine the 
             time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in 
             part, and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, 
             including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards, or 
             other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market 
             Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, 
             in which, payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may 
             be made or deemed to have been made.

       (iv)  Incentive Stock Options.  The terms of any Incentive Stock Option 
             granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the 
             provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor 
             provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b)     Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

        (i)  Issuance.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of 
             Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Participants.

       (ii)  Restrictions.  Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock 
             Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may 
             impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the 
             right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to 
             receive any dividend or other right or property), which 
             restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time 
             or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may 
             deem appropriate.  However, the minimum vesting period for 
             Restricted Stock Units granted under this Plan shall be three 
             years.

      (iii)  Registration.  Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be 
             evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate 
             including, without limitation, book-entry registration or 
             issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the event 
             any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of 
             Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall 
             be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an 
             appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and 
             restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

       (iv)  Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, 
             upon termination of employment (as determined under criteria 
             established by the Committee) for any reason during the 
             applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock and 
             all Restricted Stock Units still, in either case, subject to 
             restriction shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; 
             provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a 
             waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in 
             whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect 
             to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.  
             Unrestricted Shares, evidenced in such manner as the Committee 
             shall deem appropriate, shall be delivered to the holder of 
             Restricted Stock promptly after such Restricted Stock shall 
             become Released Securities.

(c)     Performance Units.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant 
Performance Units to Participants.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, a 



                                       6

Performance Unit granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in 
cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock), other 
securities, other Awards, or other property and (ii) shall confer on the 
holder thereof rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or 
exercisable by, the holder of the Performance Unit, in whole or in part, upon 
the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as 
the Committee shall establish.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the 
performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of 
any performance period, the amount of any Performance Unit granted and the 
amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Unit 
shall be determined by the Committee.

(d)     Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant 
to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, stock 
appreciation rights) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in 
part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, 
without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the 
Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.  Subject to the 
terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of 
such Awards.  Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase 
right granted under this paragraph (d) shall be purchased for such 
consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or 
forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other 
Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall 
determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee, 
shall, except in the case of Awards granted through assumption of, or in 
substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired 
company, not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other 
securities as of the date such purchase right is granted. 

(e)     General.

        (i)  No Cash Consideration for Awards.  Awards shall be granted for no 
             cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may 
             be required by applicable law.

       (ii)  Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.  Awards may, in the 
             discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in 
             addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award 
             granted under any other plan of the Company.  Awards granted in 
             addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or 
             in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the 
             Company, may be granted either at the same time as or at a 
             different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

      (iii)  Forms of Payment Under Awards.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, 
             payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, 
             exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms 
             as the Committee shall determine including, without limitation, 
             cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, 
             or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment 
             or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each 
             case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the 
             Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without 
             limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable 
             interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or 
             crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or 
             deferred payments.


                                       7

       (iv)  Limits on Transfer of Awards.  No Award (other than Released 
             Securities), and no right under any such Award, shall be 
             assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant 
             otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution 
             (or, in the case of an Award of Restricted Securities, to the 
             Company); provided, however, that, if so determined by the 
             Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the 
             Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise 
             the rights of the Participant, and to receive any property 
             distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the 
             Participant.  Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall 
             be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the 
             Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the 
             Participant's guardian or legal representative.  No Award (other 
             than Released Securities), and no right under any such Award, may 
             be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any 
             purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof 
             shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

        (v)  Term of Awards.  The term of each Award shall be for such period 
             as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in 
             no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option exceed a 
             period of ten years from the date of its grant.

       (vi)  Share Certificates.  All certificates for Shares or other 
             securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the 
             exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders 
             and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under 
             the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the 
             Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which 
             such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any 
             applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee 
             may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates 
             to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

      (vii)  Performance Measures for Selected Awards.  Every award other than 
             an option or stock appreciation right to a member of the 
             Executive Group (defined below) shall include a pre-established 
             formula, such that payment, retention or vesting of the award is 
             subject to the achievement during a performance period or 
             periods, as determined by the Committee, of a level or levels, as 
             determined by the Committee, of one or more of the following 
             performance measures, as determined by the Committee:  (i) return

             equity, (iv) total shareholder return, (v) earnings per share, 
             (vi) cycle time improvement, (vii) manufacturing process yield, 
             (viii) net revenue per employee or (ix) market share.  The

             such pre-established formula is determined, is expected by the 
             Committee to be both (a) a "covered employee" as defined in 
             Section 162(m) of the Code as of the end of the taxable year in 
             which payment of the award may be deducted by the Company, and 
             (b) the recipient of compensation of more than $1,000,000 for 
             that taxable year.  For awards in the form of options or stock 
             appreciation rights, no more than 500,000 shares can be granted 
             under this Plan to any participant in any one year.  For other

                                       8

             granted under this Plan to any participant in any one year.  For 
             all other awards, no more than $5,000,000 can be paid under this 
             Plan to any participant in any one year.

Amendment and Termination

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise 
expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:

(a)     Amendments to the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company may 
amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan,  without the consent 
of any share owner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or 
other person; provided, however, that, no such action shall impair the rights 
under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan and that, notwithstanding 
any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, without the approval 
of the stockholders of the Company no such amendment, alteration, suspension, 
discontinuation or termination shall be made that would:

        (i)  Increase the total number of Shares available for Awards under 
             the Plan, except as provided under the heading "Shares Available 
             for Awards" above; or

       (ii)  permit Options or other Stock-Based Awards encompassing rights to 
             purchase Shares to be granted with per Share grant, purchase, or 
             exercise prices of less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on 
             the date of grant thereof, except to the extent permitted in 
             paragraphs (a) or (d) under the heading "Awards" above.

(b)     Amendments to Awards.  The Committee may waive any conditions or 
rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or 
terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, 
without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an 
Award, provided that no such action shall impair the rights of any relevant 
Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under 
the Plan; and provided further that, except as provided for in paragraph (d) 
under the heading "Shares Available for Awards" above and in paragraph (c) 
below, no such action shall reduce the exercise price of any Option.

(c)     Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or 
Nonrecurring Events.  The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in 
the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in 
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, 
the events described in paragraph (d) under the heading "Shares Available for 
Awards" above) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the 
Company, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting 
principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are 
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or 
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

(d)     Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.  The Committee 
may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in 
the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable 
to carry the Plan into effect.







                                       9

General Provisions

(a)     No Rights to Awards.  No employee, Participant or other person shall 
have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no 
obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, Participants, or holders 
or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan.  The terms and conditions of Awards 
need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b)     Delegation.  The Committee may delegate to one or more officers or 
managers of the Company, or a committee of such officers or managers, the 
authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall 
determine, to grant Awards to, or to cancel, modify, waive rights with respect 
to, alter, discontinue, suspend or terminate Awards held by, employees who are 
not officers or directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, that any delegation to 
management shall conform with the requirements of the General Corporation Law 
of Delaware, as in effect from time to time.

(c)     Withholding.  The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any 
Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the 
Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other 
property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or 
any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such 
other action (including, without limitation, providing for elective payment of 
such amounts in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property 
by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to 
satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(d)     No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the 
Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or 
additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either 
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(e)     No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed 
as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company. 
Further, the Company may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, 
free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise 
expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

(f)     Governing Law.  The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and 
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in 
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable Federal law.

(g)     Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes 
or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or 
as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any 
law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or 
deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed 
or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially 
altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken 
as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and 
any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(h)     No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create 
or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary 
relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person.  To 
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the 



                                       10

Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of 
any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(i)     No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or 
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine 
whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred 
in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any 
rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the stockholders 
of the Company.

Term of the Plan

No Award shall be granted under the Plan after April 18, 2006.  However, 
unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award 
Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the 
authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or 
terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such 
Award, and the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to amend the 
Plan, shall extend beyond such date.
