NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Maxim") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended September 27, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every sixth or seventh fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2009 is a 52-week fiscal year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

The reclassifications included the following:

  • The Company reclassified certain expense items from cost of goods sold, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses into other operating expenses, net. These costs include legal and accounting fees directly attributable to the Company's restatement, and cost reductions due to the reversal of accruals established in prior years for foreign payroll taxes, interest and penalties related to the misdating of option grants and exercises. These foreign payroll tax accruals were reversed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in various foreign jurisdictions.

  • The reclassification of severance and restructuring expenses incurred related to the transfer of manufacturing production from the Company's San Jose, California facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility. These expenses were previously included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognized severance and restructuring expenses in accordance with the provisions of Financial Statement Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities .

The impact of the reclassifications for the three months ended September 29, 2007 was as follows:

  Three Months Ended
  September 29,       September 29,
  2007 (as reported)
    Adjustments

          Total operating expenses  $ 208,027

NOTE 2: RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2009, Maxim adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ( " FSP 157-2 " ). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal 2010 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of those provisions of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements , to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of financial statements and eliminates diversity in practice that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141(R)") which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. This standard is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements ("EITF 07-01"). EITF 07-1 provides guidance on the classification, income statement presentation and disclosure associated with collaborative arrangements involving parties considered to be active participants to an activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards which are dependent on the commercial success of the activity. EITF 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of SFAS No. 133 ("SFAS 161"), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires the Company to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial position, financial performance and cash flows. These disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting consistent with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411 on September 16, 2008, The Meaning of `Present fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.' The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1 ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"), Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payments Transactions Are Participating Securities . FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, that qualify as participating securities, should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share . FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with all prior period EPS data being adjusted retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on the Company's calculation of earnings per share.

Note 3: Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for its financial assets and liabilities at the beginning of its fiscal year 2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 1 assets and liabilities consist of U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of bank certificates of deposit and foreign currency forward contracts.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets and liabilities during the first quarter of its fiscal year 2009.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) , Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)") requires cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits to be classified as a part of cash flows from financing activities. Since the Company has adopted the alternative transition method, described in FSP SFAS 123(R)-3, 100% of the realized tax benefits generated by stock based employee awards that were fully vested and outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) are classified as excess tax benefits.  Stock-based employee awards partially vested upon, or granted after, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) generate excess tax benefits to the extent that realized tax benefits exceed the deferred tax asset and proforma deferred tax asset attributable to such awards. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.0 million of excess tax benefits as financing cash inflows for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation and Other Adjustments Resulting From the Blackout Period

On September 8, 2006, the SEC was notified that the Company would delay filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2006 as a result of the ongoing stock option investigation into the Company's historical stock option granting practices. As a result of such delay, the Company suspended the issuance of shares upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock units and purchases of stock under the Employee Stock Participation Plan until the Company became current with all of its required SEC filings and its registration statements on Form S-8 were declared effective ("Blackout Period"). The Company instituted multiple programs in an attempt to compensate employees during the Blackout Period, as described below. The Company became current in its SEC filings and its registration statements on From S-8 were declared effective on September 30, 2008.

RSU Loan Program

In October 2006, the Company offered certain domestic employees an opportunity to receive cash in the form of a non- recourse loan ("RSU Loan") for common stock that they would have otherwise been able to receive in settlement for Restricted Stock Units that vested during the Blackout Period. The program was not offered to executive officers or the members of the Company's Board of Directors. Employees accepting the offer were also entitled to additional shares of common stock if the Company's stock price appreciates ("SAR") between the vesting date and the settlement date at the end of the Blackout Period. Employees foregoing the loan would receive shares of common stock at the conclusion of the Blackout Period. The Company also offered to cash-settle restricted stock units vesting during the Blackout Period held by foreign employees. The aforementioned loan offers were considered modifications of the restricted stock units triggering a change in the classification from equity to liability for all eligible awards vesting during the Blackout Period. The Company recorded a reclassification from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salary and related expenses of $19.4 million on the modification date and incremental compensation expenses of $2.2 million from the modifications. Vesting of eligible awards and changes in stock price will result in additional reclassifications from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salary and related expenses and additional compensation expenses in periods they occur. The Company made cash payments of $8.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively, pursuant to the RSU loan program and $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for settlement of RSUs held by foreign employees during the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, as a result of this program.

During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded additional compensation expenses of $6.8 million and reclassifications from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salary and related expenses of $1.7 million. The SAR given to domestic employees accepting the loan offer was valued using the Black-Scholes model at the grant date. The Company recorded additional compensation expenses of $0.8 million from fully vested SARs in the three months ended September 27, 2008.

During the three months ended September 29, 2007, the Company recorded additional compensation expenses of $13.9 million and reclassifications from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salary and related expenses of $1.7 million. The SAR given to domestic employees accepting the loan offer was valued using the Black-Scholes model at the grant date. The Company recorded additional compensation expenses of $2.0 million from fully vested SARs in the three months ended September 29, 2007.

Other Modifications

Extension of Options that Expire after Reaching 10 Year Contractual Term and Cash Settlements of Such Expired Options

In September 2006, the Company approved the extension of the terms of vested stock options that expire during the Blackout Period as a result of the expiration of the 10 year contractual term. The extension was considered a modification under SFAS 123(R). The incremental compensation expense of the modification was based on the fair value of the option at the modification date after the extension compared to the fair value of the options prior to modification. The Company recognized additional compensation expense totaling $118.9 million for 8.3 million options in the three months ended September 23, 2006. The stock-based compensation expense adjustment was based on modified vested options held by employees that expired during the period from September 22, 2006 through the end of the Blackout Period.

In September 2007, as a result of changes in NASDAQ regulations, the Company decided to cash-settle all options expiring during the Blackout Period ("goodwill payment") based on the price at which 10% of the daily close prices of the Company's common stock fall above this price for trading days from August 7, 2006 (the date on which the Company initiated a trading blackout on officers and other individuals) through the expiration date of the option. The cash payment was subject to the option holder executing a release of all claims relating to the option. The goodwill payment modification changed the classification of the associated awards from equity to liability instruments. The modification resulted in a reclassification from additional paid-in-capital to accrued salaries and related expenses of $126.8 million and incremental compensation expenses of $27.5 million. At the end of each period, the Company will recognize any change in fair value of the options in its consolidated statements of income in the period of change until the options are settled. During the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company made a cash settlement of $13.9 million for expired options reaching their 10 year contractual term. This program ended on September 30, 2008.

On September 26, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors offered certain individuals, including certain officers of the Company, holding vested stock options that expire due to reaching their maximum 10-year terms in October 2008, certain cash goodwill payments contingent upon employee acceptance and signing of a release. The Company will record the resulting modification charges as employees accept the offer in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009

Fair Value

The fair value of share-based awards granted to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that used the following weighted-average assumptions:

  Stock Option Plan
  Three Months Ended
  September 27, 2008
  September 29, 2007
Expected option holding period (in years)  5.9   6.5
Risk-free interest rate 3.4%   4.8%
Stock price volatility  38.1%   33.1%
Dividend yield  3.6%   2.4%

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatilities are based on the implied volatilities from traded options of the Company's common stock except for the period the Company's common stock was delisted from NASDAQ during which the Company used historical volatilities. The Company analyzes historical exercise patterns of relatively homogeneous groups of employees to estimate expected holding period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield. The Company determines the dividend yield by dividing the annualized dividends per share by the quarter's average stock price. The result is analyzed by the Company to decide whether it represents expected future dividend yield. As required by SFAS 123(R), the Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions if the estimates change or the actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Inventory write downs were $8.4 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively.

NOTE 6: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of outstanding common shares excludes unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs and assumed issuance of stock under the ESPP using the treasury stock method. As discussed in Note 4, the Company cash-settled options that expired (reached the ten year contractual term) during the Blackout Period and cash-settled vested RSUs. These options and RSUs are considered liability instruments under SFAS 123R and as such are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Approximately 74.6 million and 65.3 million of the Company's stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. These options were excluded because they were determined to be antidilutive. However, such options could be dilutive in the future and, under those circumstances, would be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 7: SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

All short-term investments at September 27, 2008 are classified as available-for-sale and consist primarily of U.S. Treasury debt securities with original maturities beyond three months. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on securities in this category are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss which is a separate component of stockholders' equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest earned on securities is included in "Interest income and other, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates and tracks its results as one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of analog integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131") .

The Company has fifteen operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment under SFAS 131. Under SFAS 131, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of SFAS 131, if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:

  • The nature of products and services;
  • The nature of the production processes;
  • The type or class of customer for their products and services; and
  • The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.

The Company meets each of the aggregation criteria for the following reasons:

  • The sale of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits is the primary source of revenue for each of the Company's fifteen operating segments;

  • The integrated circuits sold by each of the Company's operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor manufacturing processes;

  • The integrated circuits marketed by each of the Company's operating segments are sold to the same types of customers; and

  • All of the Company's integrated circuits are sold through a centralized sales force and common wholesale distributors.

All of the Company's operating segments share similar economic characteristics as they have a similar long term business model. The causes for variation among the Company's operating segments are the same and include factors such as (i) life cycle and price and cost fluctuations, (ii) number of competitors, (iii) product differentiation, and (iv) size of market opportunity. Additionally, each operating segment is subject to the overall cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The number and composition of employees and the amounts and types of tools and materials required are similar for each operating segment. Finally, even though the Company periodically reorganizes its operating segments based upon changes in customers, end markets or products, acquisitions, long-term growth strategies, and the experience and bandwidth of the senior executives in charge, the common financial goals for each operating segment remain constant.

Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with SFAS 131. Geographical revenue information is based on the customers' ship-to location. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment information is based on the physical location of the assets at the end of each reporting period.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 was 34.2% and 34.1%, respectively.  The effective rates were lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rates primarily due to tax benefits generated by the domestic production activities deduction.

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The Company's net deferred tax asset at September 27, 2008 was $342.9 million.  The Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized based on historical earnings and expected levels of future taxable income. Levels of future taxable income are subject to the various risks and uncertainties as described in this Report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008. An increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets may be necessary if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company periodically assesses the need for increases to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The Company's federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 are being examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As part of this examination the IRS has requested information related to our stock option investigation. Management believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from the IRS examination.  However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty.  Should any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs which might have a significant impact on the results of operations for the period.

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Stock Option Litigation

Beginning on or about May 22, 2006, several derivative actions were filed against certain current and former executive officers and directors of the Company. These derivative lawsuits were filed in: (1) the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as In re Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 5:06-cv-03344-JW, which consolidates McKinney v. Beck, et al. (Case No. 06-3344) and Horkay v. Beck, et al. (Case No. 06-3395), City of Pontiac Policemen's and Firemen's Retirement System v. Hood, et al. (Case No. 06-03754) and Corey v. Gifford, et al. (Case No. 06-03755); (2) the California Superior Court, Santa Clara County, as Louisiana Sheriffs' Pension & Relief Fund v. Gifford et al. (Case No. 1-06-CV-065626); and (3) the Delaware Court of Chancery, as Ryan v. Gifford, et al. (Case No. Civ 2213-N). The complaints allege, among other things, that certain of the Company's current and former executive officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by engaging in alleged wrongful conduct of back-dating stock options as well as violating Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company is named solely as a nominal defendant against whom the plaintiffs seek no recovery.

The parties to the Delaware derivative litigation entered into a stipulated settlement agreement on September 16, 2008, conditioned upon approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery and subject to dismissal of all other pending derivative lawsuits.   The Delaware Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing on November 24, 2008 to determine whether the Court will approve the settlement.  Currently, there is no trial date scheduled in any of the derivative lawsuits.  

On February 6, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and its former chief executive officer and former chief financial officer. The complaint alleges that Maxim and certain of its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements and omissions relating to the grants of stock options. The complaint seeks, on behalf of persons who purchased the Company's common stock during the period from April 29, 2003 to January 17, 2008, unspecified damages, interest and costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements. The action was stayed pending completion of the restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements. A First Amended Complaint is due to be filed on November 14, 2008.

Stock Option Inquiry by Regulatory Authorities

On June 6, 2006, the Company was contacted by the SEC regarding an informal inquiry relating to the Company's past stock options grants and practices.  On December 4, 2007, the Company settled the matter with the SEC without admission of any guilt or wrongdoing and without any assessment of penalties against the Company. On June 29, 2006, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California ("U.S. Attorney") requesting documents relating to its stock option grants and practices. The Company cooperated with the U.S. Attorney and was informed that the U.S. Attorney's office does not intend to pursue the matter.

Other Legal Proceedings

In addition to the above, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of matters arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

Potential Tax Liabilities Under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and Other Tax Penalties

As a result of the Company's investigation into its historical stock option granting practices, the Company has determined that a number of its outstanding stock option awards were granted at exercise prices below the fair market value of its stock on the appropriate accounting measurement date. A significant adverse tax consequence is that the re-measured options vesting after December 31, 2004, or options that are materially modified after October 3, 2004, are potentially subject to option holder excise tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (and, as applicable, similar excise taxes under state law) ("Section 409A").  The Company's employees who hold options which are determined to have been granted with exercise prices below the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the appropriate measurement date would be subject to taxes, penalties and interest under Section 409A if no action is taken to cure the options from exposure under Section 409A before December 31, 2008.  The Company took action in fiscal year 2008 to cure certain options from exposure under Section 409A.  There can be no assurance that Maxim's action cured all potential circumstances in which Section 409A would apply.  Should it be found that excise taxes under Section 409A apply to option holders subsequent to the Company's ability to cure the options from exposure to Section 409A, and the Company decides to reimburse its employees for such taxes, the Company's results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Also as a result of the Company's investigation into equity awards, the Company has determined that certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties apply under various sections of the Internal Revenue Code, various state tax statutes, and tax statutes in various foreign jurisdictions. Maxim has reviewed these potential liabilities and accrued the estimated probable amount of the liability. There can be no assurance that Maxim's accruals covered all potential circumstances in which additional payroll taxes, interest and penalties would apply. Should it be found that additional payroll taxes, interest and penalties apply, the Company's results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Indemnifications

The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers, and subcontractors for attorney fees and damages and costs awarded against these parties in certain circumstances in which the Company's products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks, or copyrights. The terms of the Company's indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company's potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims.

Legal fees associated with indemnification obligations, defense and other related costs

Pursuant to the Company's charter documents and indemnification agreements, the Company has certain indemnification obligations to its officers, directors, and certain former officers and directors. Pursuant to such obligations, the Company has incurred expenses related to legal fees and expenses advanced to certain former officers of the Company who are subject to pending civil charges by the SEC and other governmental agencies in connection with Maxim's historical stock option granting practices. The Company expenses such amounts as incurred.

NOTE 12: Self-Insurance Accruals

The Company is self-insured with respect to defective product claims, employment practice claims and general liability. Accruals are primarily based on the actuarially estimated, undiscounted cost of claims, which includes incurred-but-not-reported claims. Amounts accrued for defective product claims, employment practice claims, workers' compensation claims and general liability in the amount of $12.5 million and $11.8 million, are included in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008, respectively.

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.

In addition to the above, the Company is primarily self-insured with respect to healthcare benefits for most of its domestic employees. Accruals are primarily based on estimated incurred-but-not-reported claims. Amounts accrued for employee healthcare claims included in accrued salary and salary related expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were immaterial as of September 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008.

NOTE 13: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

From fiscal years 2002 through 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 53.5 million shares of the Company's common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company's management. The Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock for $60.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Common stock repurchased is retired and is not held as treasury stock. In connection with the stock options investigation, the Company suspended repurchases of stock under this program as of September 23, 2006. See Note 19, "Subsequent Events" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 14: IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a $7.3 million asset impairment charge as a result of transferring certain wafer manufacturing production from its San Jose, California wafer manufacturing facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility and reductions in demand and reduced future capacity requirements .

The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of the recoverability of the related manufacturing assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . The Company considered projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends and other factors in its assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. The Company also utilized available data in its assessment of fair values for the assets being evaluated for impairment and estimated the fair value of the manufacturing tools after consideration of various factors including prices on tools lists for wafer manufacturing facilities on sale, tools available on the open market at various resellers, availability of tools in the marketplace, configuration of the respective tools and the age of the tools prior to writing down the related manufacturing assets to their estimated fair values.

NOTE 15: BENEFITS

The Company's former CEO, John F. Gifford, resigned in fiscal year 2007. As part of his resignation, he was provided with certain retirement benefits which included office space, administrative assistance, and health benefits. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 , Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefit (FASB 112), the Company recorded a charge for the net present value of these benefits of $3.1 million in fiscal year 2007. Accrued in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008 is $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for such benefits.

As a result of the Company's historical acquisition of Dallas Semiconductor, the Company assumed responsibility associated with certain split-dollar life insurance policies held by certain former Dallas Semiconductor officers and directors.  The policies are owned by the individuals with the Company maintaining a limited collateral assignment on each policy.  As a result of the adoption of EITF 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements , during the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a $14.1 million cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings.  No corporate income tax benefit was netted against the charge to retained earnings because the liabilities being accrued are not deductible for corporate income tax purposes. The Company had $6.8 and $6.7 million included in other assets as of September 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008, respectively, associated with the limited collateral assignment to the policies.  The Company had a $14.0 million and $13.8 million obligation included in other liabilities as of September 27, 2008 and June 28, 2008, respectively, related to the anticipated continued funding associated with these policies.

NOTE 17: RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

The Company recorded severance and benefits expenses totaling approximately $2.1 million related to the termination of 78 employees and $2.4 million related to the termination of 96 employees during the first quarter of fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, as a result of the decision to transfer certain wafer manufacturing production from its San Jose, California wafer manufacturing facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility , Epson's Sakata, Japan facility and reductions in demand and reduced future capacity requirements .

During the third quarter of its fiscal year 2008, the Company announced the wind-down and eventual closure of its wafer manufacturing facility located in Dallas, Texas over an 18-month time period. The Company anticipates that the Dallas wafer facility closure will result in the termination of approximately 200 employees and total costs of approximately $6.2 million consisting principally of severance and benefit payments over such 18-month period. A substantial amount of the costs associated with this activity will be paid upon the closure of the facility which is anticipated to occur in the last quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company recorded approximately $1.0 million in severance and benefit expenses during the three months ended September 27, 2008.

In connection with the anticipated closure of the Dallas facility, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the facilities' manufacturing assets and concluded that there was no impairment. The Company also reevaluated the useful lives and salvage values of the fixed assets used in this manufacturing facility based on the new period of intended use. As a result of this review, the Company changed its depreciable lives and salvage values and recognized additional depreciation expense of $11.3 million during the three months ended September 27, 2008 related to this change in accounting estimate.

During the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2008, the Company implemented certain actions to cease performing further in- house testing in the United States and have all future testing performed overseas in Thailand and the Philippines. These actions commenced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and resulted in the recognition of a charge of $1.8 million in severance and benefits related to the termination of 93 employees.

In the first quarter of its fiscal year 2009, the Company continued these actions and terminated an additional 54 employees resulting in an additional charge of $1.0 million.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

The reclassifications included the following:

  • The Company reclassified certain expense items from cost of goods sold, research and development and selling general and administrative expenses into other operating expenses, net. These costs include legal and accounting fees directly attributable to the Company's restatement, and cost reductions due to the reversal of accruals established in prior years for foreign payroll taxes, interest and penalties related to the misdating of option grants and exercises. These foreign payroll tax accruals were reversed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in various foreign jurisdictions.

  • The reclassification of severance and restructuring expenses incurred related to the transfer of manufacturing production from the Company's San Jose, California facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility. These expenses were previously included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognized severance and restructuring expenses in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities .

These reclassifications did not result in changes to previously reported operating or net income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and related allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of fixed assets; accounting for stock-based compensation, which impacts cost of goods sold, gross margins and operating expenses; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or it is less likely that such accounting policies would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $501.2 million and $524.1 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, a decrease of 4.4%. The decrease in net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 is primarily due to decreased unit shipments of approximately 3%, combined with a change in product mix related to increased sales of products with lower average selling prices. Average selling price decreased approximately 1% for the three months ended September 27, 2008 compared with the three months ended September 29, 2007.

We classify our net revenue by four major end market categories: Computing, Consumer, Industrial and Communications. In the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, net revenues from both the Consumer and Industrial markets increased. Net revenues from the Computing market decreased significantly from the comparable prior year period mainly due to a decline in shipments of notebook motherboard power management products. Net revenues from the Communications market increased from the comparable prior year period mainly due to the growth of the Asia communication infrastructure market.

During the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, approximately 78% and 80%, respectively, of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. While the majority of these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on revenue and our results of operations for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 was immaterial.

23


Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentage was 58.2% and 61.2% for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 27, 2008, as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2007, decreased primarily due to $11.3 million of accelerated depreciation expense recorded due to our decision to ramp down and eventually close our wafer fab in Dallas, Texas, and $1.4 amortization expense related to the acquisition of the Storage products division of Vitesse Semiconductor. In addition, product mix combined with approximate 1% decreased average unit selling prices contributed to an unfavorable impact on gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 27, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2007. These were offset by a decrease of $3.7 million stock-based compensation expense primarily due to the decision to cash-settle vested stock options that expired during the Blackout Period as a result of the expiration of the 10 year contractual term and the resulting charge during the three months ended September 29, 2007.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $138.9 million and $160.0 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, which represented 27.7% and 30.5% of net revenues, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation decreased by $24.4 million primarily due to the decision to cash-settle vested stock options that expired during the Blackout Period as a result of the expiration of the 10 year contractual term and the resulting charge during the three months ended September 29, 2007. In addition, salary and related expenses decreased by $1.3 million primarily due to decreased bonus expense resulting from the reduced anticipated profitability and decreased headcount. These were offset by $2.1 million increase in outside services and $1.5 million increase in depreciation expenses due to increased capital equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $40.2 million and $43.5 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, which represented 8.0% and 8.3% of net revenues, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 27, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2007 was primarily due to the decrease of stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation decreased by $7.0 million primarily due to the decision to cash-settle vested stock options that expired during the Blackout Period as a result of the expiration of the 10 year contractual term and the resulting charge during the three months ended September 29, 2007. The above decrease was offset by a $1.0 million increase in salary and related expenses primarily from annual salary increases for the three months ended September 27, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2007.

24


Stock-based Compensation

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense by type of award, and resulting tax effect, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007:

  $ 47,056 

Included in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 29, 2007 was $27.5 million related to the decision to cash-settle all options expired during the Blackout Period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a $7.3 million assets impairment charge as a result of transferring certain wafer manufacturing production from its San Jose, California wafer manufacturing facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility and reductions in demand and reduced future capacity requirements .

Severance and Restructuring Expenses

The Company recorded severance and benefits expenses totaling approximately $2.1 million related to the termination of 78 employees and $2.4 million related to the termination of 96 employees during the first quarter of fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, as a result of the decision to transfer certain wafer manufacturing production from its San Jose, California wafer manufacturing facility to an outsourced Japanese manufacturing facility, Epson's Sakata, Japan facility and reductions in demand and reduced future capacity requirements .

During the third quarter of its fiscal year 2008, the Company announced the wind-down and eventual closure of its wafer manufacturing facility located in Dallas, Texas over an 18-month time period. The Company anticipates that the Dallas wafer facility closure will result in the termination of approximately 200 employees with total costs of approximately $6.2 million consisting principally of severance and benefit payments over such 18-month period. A substantial amount of the costs associated with this activity will be paid upon the closure of the facility which is anticipated to occur in the last quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company recorded approximately $1.0 million in severance and benefit expenses during the three months ended September 27, 2008.

25


In connection with the anticipated closure of the Dallas facility, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the facility's manufacturing assets and concluded that there was no impairment. The Company also reevaluated the useful lives and salvage values of the fixed assets used in this manufacturing facility based on the new period of intended use. As a result of this review, the Company changed its depreciable lives and salvage values and recognized additional depreciation expense of $11.3 million during the three months ended September 27, 2008 related to this change in accounting estimate.

During the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2008, the Company implemented certain actions to cease performing further in-house testing in the United States and have all future testing performed overseas in Thailand and the Philippines. These actions commenced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and resulted in the recognition of a charge of $1.8 million in severance and benefits related to the termination of 93 employees.

In the first quarter of its fiscal year 2009, the Company continued these actions and terminated an additional 54 employees resulting in an additional charge of $1.0 million.

Other Operating Expenses, Net

Other operating expenses, net primarily consists of expense items related to the restatement of previously reported financial statements.

The following table summarizes the activities for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007:

  Three Months Ended
  September 27, 2008
  September 29, 2007
  (in thousands)
Legal and accounting expenses $ 11,289    $ 13,448 
Payroll tax and related adjustments                  (5,381)   (8,238)
Other 1,450 
  -  
Total $     7,358 
  $     5,210 

The Company incurred $11.3 million and $13.4 million legal and accounting expenses during the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, primarily associated with the restatement of the previously filed financial statements, private litigation and other associated activities, particularly, for accounting, legal and other professional service fees. Accounting expense increased by $8.1 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2007 due to the increased activities and associated costs to complete the restatement of the previously filed financial statements. This was offset by $10.3 million decrease in legal expenses due to the tentative settlement of the derivative litigation reached during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Also as a result of the Company's investigation into equity awards, the Company recorded certain U.S. and foreign payroll tax, interest and penalty accruals in prior years. The Company reversed $5.4 million and $8.2 million of these accruals during the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, due to the expiration of the tax statutes of limitations in various foreign jurisdictions.

Interest Income and Other, Net

Interest income and other, net was $9.1 million and $17.4 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 was 34.2% and 34.1%, respectively.  The effective rates were lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rates primarily due to tax benefits generated by the domestic production activities deduction. On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed legislation which reinstated the federal research tax credit retroactively back to January 1, 2008.  The reinstatement of this tax credit will result in a discrete tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and will have a beneficial impact on the Company's fiscal year 2009 annual effective income tax rate.  As a result, the Company expects that its tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 will be significantly reduced. 

26


The Company's net deferred tax asset at September 27, 2008 was $342.9 million.  The Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized based on historical earnings and expected levels of future taxable income. Levels of future taxable income are subject to the various risks and uncertainties described in this Report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008. An increase in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets may be necessary if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company periodically assesses the need for increases to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The Company's federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 are being examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As part of this examination the IRS has requested information related to our stock option investigation. Management believes that it has adequately provided for any adjustments that may result from the IRS examination.  However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty.  Should any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs, which might have a significant impact on the results of operations for the period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2009, Maxim adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ( " FSP 157-2 " ). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal 2010 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of those provisions of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements , to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of financial statements and eliminates diversity in practice that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141(R)") which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. This standard is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements ("EITF 07-01"). EITF 07-1 provides guidance on the classification, income statement presentation and disclosure associated with collaborative arrangements involving parties considered to be active participants to an activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards which are dependent on the commercial success of the activity. EITF 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133 ("SFAS 161"), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires the Company to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial position, financial performance and cash flows. These disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting consistent with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411 on September 16, 2008, The Meaning of `Present fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles' . The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1 ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"), Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payments Transactions Are Participating Securities . FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, that qualify as participating securities, should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share . FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with all prior period EPS data being adjusted retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on the Company's calculation of earnings per share.

BACKLOG

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $341.0 million. The Company's previous quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $370.2 million.

Cash provided by operating activities was net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 27, 2008 for

28


the amount of $157.1 million was primarily due to net income as adjusted for non-cash items, an increase in income tax payable and accounts payable. These items were partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $39.8 million for three months ended September 27, 2008 consisted primarily of $38.0 million purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $79.2 million for three months ended September 27, 2008 consisted primarily of $64.1 million dividend payment, $10.1 million cash settlements of vested RSUs and payouts under the RSU loan program and $5.0 million cash settlement for expired options.

Significant Cash Outlays Resulting From the Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements

Through September 27, 2008, the Company has incurred $103.2 million for expenses associated with the investigation, subsequent restatement of our previously filed financial statements, private litigation and other associated activities, particularly, for accounting, legal and other professional service fees.

Through September 27, 2008, the Company has paid $131.3 million to individual option holders to compensate them for stock options that contractually expired subsequent to the suspension of the Company's Form S-8 registration statements at which time employees were no longer able to exercise their vested stock options (the "Blackout Period"). The Company paid $13.9 million for additional options that expired for the three months ended September 27, 2008.

Through September 27, 2008, the Company has issued $63.0 million in non-recourse loans to individuals holding RSUs that vested during the Blackout Period. The Company loaned $8.2 million for RSUs that vested during for the three months ended September 27, 2008.

Through September 27, 2008, the Company has paid $11.9 million to international employees for RSUs which vested during the Blackout Period for which we were unable to deliver shares of common stock. The Company paid $1.9 million to certain international employees for RSUs during the three months ended September 27, 2008.

The Company anticipates that the available funds and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet cash and working capital requirements, including its anticipated level of capital expenditures, share repurchase and dividend payments for the next twelve months.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of September 27, 2008, the Company did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a) (4) (ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer ("CEO") and our chief financial officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of September 27, 2008. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 27, 2008. The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

29


specified in the SEC's rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 27, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

  1. Meetings of stockholders may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws or, if not so designated, as determined by the Board of Directors.

    1. Participate in a meeting of stockholders; and
    2. Be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described in this Section 6(a)(1). "Public Announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto (the "1934 Act").

In addition, to be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be supplemented not later than ten days following the record date to disclose the information contained in clauses (iii) and (iv) above as of the record date. For purposes of this Section 6, a "Stockholder Associated Person" of any stockholder shall mean (1) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (2) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, is being made (3)

3

    1. Without exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 6(a) and, if applicable, Section 6(b). In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(a), and, if the chairman should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting that any such business not properly brought before the annual meeting shall not be conducted.

  1. Advance Notice of Director Nominations at Annual Meetings .
  2. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6(b) shall be eligible for election or re-election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by a stockholder of the Corporation who (1) was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in these Bylaws and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (2) has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6(b). In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation.

    1. To comply with clause (ii) of Section 6(b) above, a nomination to be made by a stockholder must set forth all information required under this Section 6(b) and must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation at the time and in accordance with the final three sentences of Section 6(a)(1) above.

4


        other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares), the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of the nominee, (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder, (vi) a written statement executed by the nominee acknowledging that as a director of the Corporation, the nominee will owe a fiduciary duty under Delaware law with respect to the Corporation and its stockholders, and (vii) any other information relating to the nominee that would be required to be disclosed about such nominee if proxies were being solicited for the election of the nominee as a director, or that is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including without limitation the nominee's written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and

      1. as to such stockholder giving notice, (i) the information required to be provided pursuant to clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 6(a)(2) above, and the supplement referenced in the second sentence of Section 6(a)(2) above (except that the references to "business" in such clauses shall instead refer to nominations of directors for purposes of this paragraph), and (ii) a statement whether either such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a number of the Corporation's voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person to be necessary to elect such nominee(s) (such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (i) and (ii) above, a "Nominee Solicitation Statement").

    1. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by a stockholder for election as a director must furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation (i) that information required to be set forth in the stockholder's notice of nomination of such person as a director as of a date subsequent to the date on which the notice of such person's nomination was given and (ii) such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder's understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee; in the absence of the furnishing of such information if requested, such stockholder's nomination shall not be considered in proper form pursuant to this Section 6(b).

Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 6(b). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

For a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to Section 7 hereof, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors shall be made only (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in these Bylaws and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and (B) delivers a timely written notice of the nomination to the Secretary of the Corporation that includes the information set forth in Sections 6(b)(2) and (3) above. To be timely, such notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

Section 7.    Special Meetings.

  1. A special meeting of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may be called at any time by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons. For purposes of these Bylaws, the term "Whole Board" shall mean the total number of authorized Directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
  2. The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Whole Board. Nothing contained in this Section 7(b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

Section 8.    Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings.

  1. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, specifying the place, if any, date and hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, directed to his address as it appears upon the books of the Corporation; except that where the matter to be acted on is a merger or consolidation of the Corporation or a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of its assets, such notice shall be given not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to such meeting.
  2. If at any meeting action is proposed to be taken which, if taken, would entitle shareholders fulfilling the requirements of section 262(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law to an appraisal of the fair value of their shares, the notice of such meeting shall contain a statement of that purpose and to that effect and shall be accompanied by a copy of that statutory section.
  3. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
  4. Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, either before or after such meeting, and, to the extent permitted by law, will be waived by

7


    any stockholder by his attendance thereat, in person or by proxy. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

  1. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of this chapter, the certificate of incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent, and (ii) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Notice given pursuant to this subparagraph (e) shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of these Bylaws, "electronic transmission" means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

Section 9.    Quorum.

At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any shares, the voting of which at said meeting has been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be lawfully voted at such meeting, shall not be counted to determine a quorum at such meeting. In the absence of a quorum any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all action

8


taken by the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation.

Section 10.    Adjournment of Meetings.

Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which are present either in person or by proxy.

Section 11.    Voting Rights.

  1. Except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting shall be entitled to vote at such meeting.
  2. Every person entitled to vote or to execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting at which it is to be used. Said proxy so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted on after three (3) years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person who executed it or of his legal representatives or assigns, except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given. All elections of Directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Such ballot may be in writing executed by the stockholder or his proxyholder or it may be cast by electronic transmission, provided that the transmission includes information showing that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxyholder.
  3. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him as proxy pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:
    1. A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or his authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.
    2. A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Such authorization can be established by the signature of the stockholder on the proxy, either in writing or by a signature stamp or facsimile signature, or by a number or symbol from

9


      which the identity of the stockholder can be determined, or by any other procedure deemed appropriate by the inspectors or other persons making the determination as to due authorization. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

  1. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to subsection (c) of this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

Section 12.    Joint Owners of Stock.

If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even split for the purpose of this subsection shall be a majority or even split in interest.

Section 13.    List of Stockholders.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation need not include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the

10


meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 14.    Action without Meeting.

  1. Any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Delivery made to a Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.
  3. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consent to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder, and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in this State, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation's registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing

10


    limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the Corporation or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

  1. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.
  2. No such action by written consent may be taken following the effectiveness of the registration of any class of securities of the Corporation under the 1934 Act.

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

  2. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing or by electronic transmission without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors.

Delivery made to a corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

In case any officer who shall have signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest coupon, shall have ceased to be such officer

22


before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the Corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the Corporation.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 42.    Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Employees and Other Agents.

  1. Directors . The Corporation shall indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
  2. Officers, Employees and Other Agents . The Corporation shall have power to indemnify its officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

23


  1. Good Faith .
    1. For purposes of any determination under this Bylaw, a Director, or any member of a committee designated by the Board of Directors, shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful, if he relied in good faith upon the records of the Corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation's officers or employees, or committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person as to matters the Director reasonably believes are within such other person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.
    2. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
    3. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

  2. Expenses . The Corporation shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any Director in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise.
  3. Enforcement . Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the Director who serves in such capacity at any time while this Bylaw and other relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and other applicable law, if any, are in effect. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a Director shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor.
  4. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. The Corporation shall be entitled to raise by pleading as an affirmative defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition when the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met

24


    the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

  1. Non-Exclusivity of Rights . The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
  2. Survival of Rights . The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
  3. Insurance . To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.
  4. Amendments . Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the Corporation.
  5. Savings Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.
  6. Certain Definitions . For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:
    1. The term "proceeding" shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement and appeal of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

25


    1. The term "expenses" shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys' fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.
    2. The term the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
    3. References to a "director," "officer," "employee," or "agent" of the Corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
    4. References to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Bylaw.

ARTICLE XII
NOTICES

Section 43.    Notices.

  1. Notice to Stockholders . Whenever, under any provision of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, the same shall be given either (1) in writing, either personally or timely and duly deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to his last known post office address as shown by the stock record of the Corporation or its transfer agent, or (2) by a means of electronic transmission that satisfies the requirements of Section 8 of these Bylaws, and has been consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given.
  2. Notice to Directors . Any notice required to be given to any Director may be given by the method stated in subsection (e) of Section 21 of these Bylaws except that such notice other than

26


    one which is delivered personally shall be sent to such address as such Director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known post office address of such Director.

  1. Address Unknown . If no address of a stockholder or Director be known, notice may be sent to the office of the Corporation required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2 hereof.
  2. Affidavit of Mailing . An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the Corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or Director or Directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall be conclusive evidence of the statements therein contained.
  3. Time Notices Deemed Given . All notices given by mail, as above provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing and all notices given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been given as at the sending time recorded by the electronic transmission equipment operator transmitting the notices.
  4. Methods of Notice and Waiver Thereof . It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all Directors, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others. Whenever any notice is required to be given under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation, or Bylaws of the Corporation, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.
  5. Failure to Receive Notice . The period or limitation of time within which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any Director may exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege, pursuant to any notice sent him in the manner above provided, shall not be affected or extended in any manner by the failure of such stockholder or such Director to receive such notice.
  6. Notice to Person with Whom Communication Is Unlawful . Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is

27


    required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

Exhibit 10.30

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS INC.
1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(LEGAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE OPTION)

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to its 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") has granted to Grantee, the Grantee named on the Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the "Grant Notice"), which has been delivered to Grantee separately, an option (the "Option") to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"). The Option will not be treated as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

The legal provisions governing the Option (referred to herein as the "Agreement") are as follows:

1. Total Number of Shares Subject to this Option. The total number of Shares subject to the Option is set forth on the Grant Notice.

2. Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Option shall be exercisable with respect to each installment on or after the date of vesting applicable to such installment as set forth in the Grant Notice. Vesting is conditioned upon Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant on each applicable vesting date.

3. Exercise Price and Method of Payment.

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Option is set forth on the Grant Notice, being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option.

(b) Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price per Share is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of each installment which has become exercisable by Grantee by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at Grantee's election:

(i)    cash; or

(ii)    check; or

(iii)    surrender of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised (but only to the extent that such exercise of the Option would not result in an accounting compensation charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the exercise price); or

(iv)    delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale proceeds required to pay the exercise price.

4. Minimum Number of Shares and Whole Shares. The minimum number of Shares with respect to which the Option may be exercised at any one time is one hundred (100), except (a) as to an installment subject to exercise, as set forth in paragraph 2, which amounts to fewer than one hundred (100) Shares, in which case, as to the exercise of that installment, the number of Shares in such installment shall be the minimum number of Shares, and (b) with respect to the final exercise of the Option this minimum shall not


apply. In no event may this Option be exercised for any number of Shares which would require the issuance of anything other than whole Shares.

5. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Option may not be exercised unless the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

6. Term of Option. The term of the Option commences on the date of grant and, unless sooner terminated as set forth in the Grant Notice, below or in the Plan, the Option terminates on the date seven (7) years from the date of grant. In no event may the Option be exercised on or after the date on which it terminates. The Option shall terminate prior to the expiration of its maximum term as follows: Ninety (90) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant for any reason or for no reason unless:

(a) such termination is due to Grantee's permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 422(c)(6) of the Code), in which event the Option shall terminate on the earlier of the termination date set forth above or three hundred and sixty-five (365) days following termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant; or

(b) such termination is due to Grantee's death, in which event the Option shall terminate on the earlier of the termination date set forth above or five hundred and forty-seven (547) days after Grantee's death; or

(c) during any part of such ninety (90) day period the Option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in paragraph 5 above, in which event the Option shall not terminate until the earlier of the termination date set forth above or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of ninety (90) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.

(d) exercise of the Option within ninety (90) days after Grantee's termination from Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant would result in liability under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in which case the Option will terminate on the earlier of (i) the termination date set forth above, (ii) the tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise would result in such liability, or (iii) six (6) months and ten (10) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.

However, the Option may be exercised following Grantee's termination from Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant only as to that number of Shares as to which it was exercisable on the date such termination under the provisions of paragraph 2 of the this Agreement.

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
FOR U.S. GRANTEES

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC. , a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to its 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") has granted to Grantee, the Grantee named on the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit (the "Grant Notice"), which has been delivered to Grantee separately, an award of restricted stock units (the "Restricted Stock Units"), subject to all of the terms and conditions in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1. Company's Obligation to Pay . Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date it becomes vested. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 2 and 3, Grantee will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

2. Vesting Schedule . Subject to Section 3, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in Grantee according to the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice, subject to Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant through each such date.

3. Forfeiture upon Termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant . Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant ceases for any or no reason, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and Grantee will have no further rights thereunder.

4. Payment after Vesting . Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Section 2 will be paid to Grantee (or in the event of Grantee's death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Grantee satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 6.

5. Payments after Death . Any distribution or delivery to be made to Grantee under this Agreement will, if Grantee is then deceased, be made to Grantee's designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Grantee, the administrator or executor of Grantee's estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

6. Withholding of Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary or affiliate employing Grantee (the "Employer") take with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state, and/or local taxes), payroll tax, payment on account or other


tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Grantee is and remains Grantee's responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in Shares or in cash, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee's liability for Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Grantee, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Grantee with respect to the payment of all Tax-Related Items which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares so issuable. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit Grantee to satisfy Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part by one or more of the following (without limitation): (a) paying cash, (b) withholding from the Grantee's wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, (c) have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares , provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the statutory withholding amount or such other amount as may be necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment, or (d ) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Grantee (on Grantee's behalf and at his or her direction pursuant to this authorization) through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) . If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units.

If Grantee fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax-Related Items hereunder at the time any applicable Shares otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Section 3, Grantee will permanently forfeit such Shares and the Shares will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.

7. Rights as Stockholder . Neither Grantee nor any person claiming under or through Grantee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Grantee.

8. No Effect on Service . Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant through the applicable vesting dates (and not through the act of being hired or acquiring Shares hereunder). Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and will not interfere with the Grantee's right or the right of the Company to terminate Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause.


9. Address for Notices . Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Administration at Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., 4401 South Beltwood Parkway, Dallas, TX 75244, with a copy to the Corporate Secretary at 120 San Gabriel Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, United States of America, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

Except to the limited extent provided in Section 5, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

11. Binding Agreement . Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

12. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock . If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of shares to Grantee (or Grantee's estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

The Option will not be treated as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

The legal provisions governing the Option, including any country-specific appendix for Grantee's country of residence, (together referred to herein as the "Agreement") are as follows:

  1. Total Number of Shares Subject to this Option. The total number of Shares subject to the Option is set forth on the Grant Notice.
  2. Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Option shall be exercisable with respect to each installment on or after the date of vesting applicable to such installment as set forth in the Grant Notice. Vesting is conditioned upon Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant on each applicable vesting date.
  3. Exercise Price and Method of Payment.
  4. (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Option is set forth on the Grant Notice, being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option.

    (b) Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price per Share is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of each installment which has become exercisable by Grantee by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at Grantee's election:

    2. check; or
    3. delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale proceeds required to pay the exercise price.

    apply. In no event may this Option be exercised for any number of Shares which would require the issuance of anything other than whole Shares.

  1. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Option may not be exercised unless the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option are then registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

    (c) during any part of such ninety (90) day period the Option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in paragraph 5 above, in which event the Option shall not terminate until the earlier of the termination date set forth above or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of ninety (90) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.

    (d) exercise of the Option within ninety (90) days after Grantee's termination from Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant would result in liability under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in which case the Option will terminate on the earlier of (I) the termination date set forth above, (ii) the tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise would result in such liability or (iii) six (6) months and ten (10) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.

    (i) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

    (j) if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

APPENDIX

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(LEGAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE OPTION)
FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to Grantee if Grantee resides in one of the countries listed herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Plan.

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee's participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of May 2008. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee's participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Grantee acquires Shares or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee's country may apply to the Grantee's situation.

Finally, if Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Grantee is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Grantee.

AUSTRALIA

Securities Law Information

If Grantee acquires shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option, and Grantee offers Shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. Grantee should obtain legal advice on disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.

Exchange Control Notification

Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and international fund transfers. The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, Grantee will be required to file the report.

AUSTRIA

Exchange Control Notification

If Grantee holds shares of Common Stock obtained through the Plan outside Austria (even if held outside of Austria with an Austrian bank), Grantee must submit an annual report to the Austrian National Bank using the form " Standmeldung ." An exemption applies if the value of the securities held outside Austria as of

A-1


December 31 does not exceed €5,000,000 or the value of securities as of any quarter does not exceed €30,000,000. The reporting date is December 31; the deadline for filing the report is March 31 of the following year.

When shares of Common Stock are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash received is held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all cash accounts abroad exceeds €3 million, the movements and the balance of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month by filing form " Meldungen SI- Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen ." If the value of all cash accounts abroad is below €3 million, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.

Consumer Protection Notice

Under certain circumstances, Grantee may be entitled to revoke acceptance of the Agreement on the basis of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act under the following conditions:

  1. The revocation must be made within one week of the day Grantee accepted the Agreement; and
  2. The revocation must be in written form to be valid. It is sufficient if Grantee returns the Agreement to the Company or the Company's representative with language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the terms contained in the Agreement. It is sufficient if the revocation is sent within the period discussed above.

CANADA

HONG KONG

Securities Law Information

Options and the underlying shares of Common Stock are granted only to eligible employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries or affiliates; they are not a public offer of securities. The contents of the Plan and Agreement have not been reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong and Grantee is

A-3


advised to exercise caution in relation to the Option. If Grantee is in any doubt about any of the contents of the Plan documents, Grantee should obtain independent professional advice.

ISRAEL

Method of Payment

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, Grantee may pay the exercise price and any Tax-Related Items solely by means of a cashless sell-all method of exercise.

KOREA

Exchange Control Notification

If Grantee remits funds out of Korea to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the remittance must be "confirmed" by a foreign exchange bank in Korea. This is an automatic procedure, i.e. , the bank does not need to "approve" the remittance, and it should take no more than a single day to process. The following supporting documents evidencing the nature of the remittance must be submitted to the bank together with the confirmation application: (i) the Notice of Grant of Options and the Agreement; (ii) the Plan; (iii) a document evidencing the type of shares to be acquired and the amount ( e.g. , the award certificate); and (iv) Grantee's certificate of employment. This confirmation is not necessary for cashless exercises since there is no remittance out of Korea.

Additionally, exchange control laws require Korean residents who realize US$500,000 or more from the sale of shares to repatriate the proceeds to Korea within 18 months of the sale.

NETHERLANDS

Securities Law Information

Grantee should be aware of the Dutch insider trading rules which may impact the sale of shares of

A-4


Common Stock acquired under the Plan. In particular, Grantee may be prohibited from effecting certain share transactions if Grantee has insider information regarding the Company.

By accepting the Option and participating in the Plan, Grantee acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law Information and acknowledges that it is the Grantee's responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider trading rules:

Prohibition Against Insider Trading

Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has "inside information" related to the Company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. "Inside information" is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described above.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company working at a Subsidiary or affiliate in the Netherlands (including Grantee) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when Grantee had such inside information.

PHILIPPINES

There are no country-specific provisions.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information

The offer is being made on a private basis and is, therefore, exempt from registration in Singapore.

Director Notification Requirement

If Grantee is a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, Grantee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Subsidiary or affiliate in writing when Grantee receives an interest ( e.g. , the Option, shares of Common Stock) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, Grantee must notify the Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate when Grantee sells shares of Common Stock of the Company or any related company (including when Grantee sells shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option). These notifications must be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of interests in the Company or any related company within two days of becoming a director.

SPAIN

Exchange Control Notification

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of shares of Common Stock ( i.e., dividends or sale proceeds), Grantee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. Grantee will need to provide the institution with the following

A-5


information: (i) name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; the currency used; (iv) the country of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and (vi) further information that may be required.

If Grantee acquires shares of Common Stock under the Plan and wishes to import the ownership title of such Stock ( i.e., share certificates) into Spain, Grantee must declare the importation of such securities to the DGPCIE.

Labor Law Acknowledgment

This provision supplements paragraph 9: Nature of Grant in the Agreement:

By accepting the Option, Grantee acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, Grantee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Grantee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Option and shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Option shall be null and void.

TAIWAN

Exchange Control Notification

Individuals may acquire and remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company) into Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without justification. There is no need to aggregate all remittances into Taiwan when calculating the limitation. If the transaction amount is TWD$500,000 or more in a single transaction, Grantee must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form and also provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.

THAILAND

Exchange Control Notification

Grantee must immediately repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock to Thailand. The funds must be converted into Thai Baht or deposited in a foreign currency account in Thailand within 360 days of remittance into Thailand. In the event that the amount of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock is US$20,000 or its equivalent, or above, Grantee will be required to provide information associated with the source of such income on the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the authorized agent for reporting to an exchange control officer.

A-6


TURKEY

Exchange Control Notification

Exchange control regulations require Turkish residents to buy shares through financial intermediary institutions that are approved under the Capital Market Law ( i.e. , banks licensed in Turkey). Therefore, if Grantee uses cash to exercise the Option, the funds must be remitted through a bank or other financial institution licensed in Turkey. A wire transfer of funds by a Turkish bank will satisfy this requirement. This requirement does not apply to cashless sell-all exercises, as no funds leave Turkey.

 

UNITED KINGDOM

Eligibility

Notwithstanding Section 5 of the Plan, or any provision or discretion in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, Options may be granted only to Employees in the United Kingdom. For the avoidance of doubt, Consultants based in the United Kingdom shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

Tax Acknowledgment

The following provisions supplement paragraph 8: Withholding of Taxes in the Agreement:

Grantee agrees that if the Employer or the Company does not withhold or otherwise collect the full amount of Tax-Related Items that Grantee owes due to the exercise of the Option or release, assignment or cancellation of the Option (the "Chargeable Event") from Grantee within 90 days after the Chargeable Event or such other period as required by U.K. law (the "Due Date"), then the amount that should have been withheld or collected shall constitute a loan owed by Grantee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Grantee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") and it will be immediately due and repayable by Grantee and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in paragraph 8 of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the provision above will not apply. In the event that Grantee is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Grantee by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. Grantee acknowledges the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to above in paragraph 8 of the Agreement. Grantee also authorizes the Company to withhold the transfer of any shares of Common Stock unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Joint Election

As a condition of Grantee's participation in the Plan and of the exercise of the Option, Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the Chargeable Event ("Employer NICs").

Without limitation to the foregoing, Grantee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company or the Employer, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the "Joint Election"), and any other required consents or elections as provided to Grantee by the Company or the Employer.

A-7


Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between Grantee and any successor to the Company or the Employer.

If Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election, or if the Joint Election is revoked at any time by HMRC, the Option shall cease vesting and become null and void, and no shares of Common Stock shall be acquired under the Plan, without any liability to the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or affiliate.

Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in paragraph 8 of the Agreement, as supplemented above.

Exhibit 10.42

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES

M AXIM I NTEGRATED P RODUCTS , I NC . , a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to its 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") has granted to Grantee, the Grantee named on the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit (the "Grant Notice"), which has been delivered to Grantee separately, an award of restricted stock units (the "Restricted Stock Units"), subject to all of the terms and conditions in the Grant Notice, this Agreement, any country-specific appendix for Grantee's country of residence (the "Appendix") and the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1. Company's Obligation to Pay . Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date it becomes vested. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 2 and 3, Grantee will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

2. Vesting Schedule . Subject to Section 3, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in Grantee according to the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice, subject to Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant through each such date.

3. Forfeiture upon Termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant . Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant ceases for any or no reason, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and Grantee will have no further rights thereunder.

4. Payment after Vesting . Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Section 2 will be paid to Grantee (or in the event of Grantee's death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Grantee satisfying any applicable Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 6.

5. Payments after Death . Any distribution or delivery to be made to Grantee under this Agreement will, if Grantee is then deceased, be made to Grantee's legal heirs. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as legal heir, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

6. Withholding of Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary or affiliate employing Grantee (the "Employer") take with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state, and/or local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Grantee is and remains Grantee's responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in Shares or in cash, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do


not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee's liability for Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Grantee, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Grantee with respect to the payment of all Tax-Related Items which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares so issuable. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit Grantee to satisfy Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part by one or more of the following (without limitation): (a) paying cash, (b) withholding from the Grantee's wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, (c) have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares , provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding amount or such other amount as may be necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment, or (d ) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Grantee (on Grantee's behalf and at his or her direction pursuant to this authorization) through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) . If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units.

If Grantee fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax-Related Items hereunder at the time any applicable Shares otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Section 2, Grantee will permanently forfeit such Shares and the Shares will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.

7. Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and Restricted Stock Units . In accepting the Award, Grantee acknowledges that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan;

(b) the Award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) Grantee's participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer , and which is outside the scope of Grantee's employment contract, if any;

2


(g) this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and will not interfere with the Grantee's right or the right of the Company or the Employer to terminate Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant at any time ;

(h) in the event that Grantee is not an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company, the Award and Grantee's participation in the Plan shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the Award of Restricted Stock Units and Grantee's participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;

(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j) in consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from any diminution in value of the Award of Restricted Stock Units or Shares received upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Agreement, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

(k) in the event of termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee's right to receive Restricted Stock Units and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer actively employed or actively rendering services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law ( e.g ., active employment or service would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer actively employed or actively rendering services for purposes of the Award of Restricted Stock Units ;

(l) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan; and

(m) Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan .

8. Rights as Stockholder . Neither Grantee nor any person claiming under or through Grantee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Grantee.

9. Notices . Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Administration at Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., 4401 South Beltwood Parkway, Dallas, TX 75244, with a copy to the Corporate Secretary at 120 San Gabriel Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, United States of America, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to Grantee if Grantee resides in one of the countries listed herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Grant Notice, the Agreement or the Plan.

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee's participation in the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee's country may apply to the Grantee's situation.

Finally, if Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Grantee is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Grantee.

Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Grantee's personal data as described in this section by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing Grantee's participation in the Plan.

Grantee understands that the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate may hold certain personal information about Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate, details of all Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Grantee's favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan ("Data").

11


Grantee also understands that providing the Company with Data is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that Grantee's refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect Grantee's ability to participate in the Plan. The Controller of personal data processing is Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., with registered offices at 120 San Gabriel Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94086, United States of America, and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its Representative in Italy for privacy purposes is the Branch Office of Maxim Integrated Products (UK) Ltd., with its registered offices at Via Paracelso 22, Centro Direzionale Colleoni Palazzo Cassiopea 1 20041 Agrate Brianza (MI), Italy.

Such recipients may receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering, and managing Grantee's participation in the Plan. Grantee understands that these recipients may be located in or outside the European Economic Area, such as in the United States or elsewhere. Should the Company exercise its discretion in suspending all necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan, it will delete Data as soon as it has completed all the necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan.

12


The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, does not require Grantee's consent thereto, as the processing is necessary to performance of contractual obligations related to implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. Grantee understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, Grantee has the right to, including but not limited to, access, delete, update, correct, or terminate, for legitimate reason, the Data processing.

NETHERLANDS

Securities Law Information

Grantee should be aware of the Dutch insider trading rules which may impact the sale of Shares under the Plan. In particular, Grantee may be prohibited from effecting certain Share transactions if Grantee has insider information regarding the Company.

13


By accepting the Award and participating in the Plan, Grantee acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law Information and acknowledges that it is the Grantee's responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider trading rules:

Prohibition Against Insider Trading

Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has "inside information" related to the Company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. "Inside information" is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described above.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company working at a Subsidiary or affiliate in the Netherlands (including Grantee) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when Grantee had such inside information.

PHILIIPPINES

There are no country-specific provisions.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information

The offer of Restricted Stock Units and underlying Shares is being made on a private basis and is, therefore, exempt from registration in Singapore.

Director Notification Requirement

If Grantee is a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, Grantee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Subsidiary or affiliate in writing when Grantee receives an interest ( e.g. , Restricted Stock Units, Shares) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, Grantee must notify the Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate when Grantee sells Shares of the Company or any related company (including when Grantee sells Shares acquired through vesting of Restricted Stock Units). These notifications must be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of interests in the Company or any related company within two days of becoming a director.

SPAIN

14


Exchange Control Notification

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Shares ( i.e., dividends or sale proceeds), Grantee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made.

If Grantee acquires Shares under the Plan and wishes to import the ownership title of such Shares ( i.e., share certificates) into Spain, Grantee must declare the importation of such securities to the DGPCIE.

Labor Law Acknowledgment

This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement: Acknowledgment of Nature of Grant and Restricted Stock Units:

By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Grantee acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, Grantee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Grantee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Restricted Stock Units and Shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void.

Tax Acknowledgment

The following provisions supplement Section 6 of the Agreement: Withholding of Taxes:

Grantee agrees that if the Employer or the Company does not withhold or otherwise collect the full amount of Tax-Related Items that Grantee owes due to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or release, assignment or cancellation of the Restricted Stock Units (the "Chargeable Event") from Grantee within 90 days after the Chargeable Event or such other period as required by U.K. law (the "Due Date"), then the amount that should have been withheld or collected shall constitute a loan owed by Grantee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Grantee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") and it will be immediately due and repayable by Grantee and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the provision above will not apply. In the event that Grantee is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Grantee by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. Grantee acknowledges the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to above in Section 6 of the Agreement. Grantee also authorizes the Company to withhold the transfer of any Shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Joint Election

As a condition of Grantee's participation in the Plan and of the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the Chargeable Event ("Employer NICs").

Without limitation to the foregoing, Grantee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company or the Employer, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the "Joint Election"), and any other required consents or elections as provided to Grantee by the Company or the Employer. Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between Grantee and any successor to the Company or the Employer.

If Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election, or if the Joint Election is revoked at any time by HMRC, the Restricted Stock Units shall cease vesting and become null and void, and no Shares shall be acquired under the Plan, without any liability to the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or affiliate.

17


Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement, as supplemented above.
