================================================================================ 2 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Analog Devices, Inc. ("Analog" or the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of high-performance linear, mixed-signal and digital integrated circuits ("ICs") that address a wide range of real-world signal processing applications. The Company's principal products include special-purpose linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SPLICs"), digital signal processing ICs ("DSP ICs") and general-purpose, standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SLICs"). The Company also manufactures and markets devices using assembled product technology, the largest portion of which are hybrid ICs, which combine unpackaged IC chips and other chip-level components in a single package. Nearly all of the Company's products are components, which are typically incorporated by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in a wide range of equipment and systems for use in computer, telecommunication, industrial, instrumentation, military/aerospace and high-performance consumer electronics applications. The Company sells its products worldwide; approximately 44% of the Company's fiscal 1994 net sales were made to customers in North America, while most of the balance was to customers in Western Europe and the Far East. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Real-world phenomena, such as temperature, pressure, sound, images, speed, acceleration, position and rotation angle, are inherently analog in nature, consisting of continuously varying information. This information can be detected and measured using analog sensors, which represent real-world phenomena by generating continuously varying voltages and currents. The signals from these sensors are initially processed using analog methods, e.g., amplification, filtering and shaping. They are then usually converted to digital form for input to a microprocessor, which is used to manipulate, store or display the information. In many cases the signals are further processed after conversion to digital form using a technology called "digital signal processing." In addition, digital signals are frequently converted to analog form to provide signals for analog display, sound, or control functions. These manipulations and transformations are collectively known as "real-world signal processing." Significant advances in semiconductor technology over the past ten to fifteen years have led to substantial increases in the performance and functionality of ICs used for signal processing applications. Key among these advances is the ability to create VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) mixed-signal ICs that contain both high-performance analog circuitry and large amounts of high- density digital circuitry. The analog circuitry portion of the IC is used for manipulating real-world signals while still in analog form and for converting analog signals into digital form (or vice versa), and the digital portion is used for further processing analog signals subsequent to their conversion to digital form. The ICs resulting from these advances are used as components in equipment and systems to achieve more effective interaction with natural phenomena and the human senses. TRENDS IN THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS Analog has long been a leader in the development, production and marketing of linear and mixed-signal ICs, particularly technology-driven, high-performance, general-purpose, standard-function ICs (or SLICs). Building on its core technical competencies, Analog believes that it is a leading worldwide supplier of data converters and operational amplifiers and that data converters and operational amplifiers collectively account for approximately half of the semiconductor industry's total SLIC sales. SLICs are sold to a very large customer base for a wide variety of applications. Early markets for these products were primarily manufacturers of equipment and systems for the industrial, instrumentation and military/aerospace markets, and these markets still account for a significant part of the Company's business. As linear IC technology has evolved within the industry, it has been employed to develop market-driven, special-purpose linear and mixed-signal ICs (or SPLICs) tailored to specific high-volume applications. Early-generation SPLICs were generally low-performance devices for applications in automotive, computer, consumer and certain communications applications. These devices were subject to commodity-like pricing pressures, and the Company therefore chose initially not to compete in this area. However, the emerging demand for the highest levels of performance in many high-volume applications has provided the Company an opportunity to leverage its expertise by diversifying into SPLICs and DSP ICs for selected applications in these market segments. Products for such applications must also have a high level of functionality (i.e., many functions on one chip) to satisfy OEMs' requirements for low cost per function. 1 3 Over the past four years, Analog has been engaged in a transition from being primarily a supplier of SLICs (and to a lesser extent, assembled products) serving a very fragmented market to a company whose strategy is to balance its traditionally stable, profitable SLIC business with the growth opportunities available for SPLICs and DSP ICs, which are typically sold in high volume to a relatively small number of customers. Toward this end, the Company has refocused much of its direct sales force and marketing resources on the needs of SPLIC and DSP IC customers and moved a significant portion of its traditional SLIC business into the distribution sales channel to better serve the fragmented customer base characteristic of the instrumentation, industrial and military/aerospace markets. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS The Company operates predominantly in one industry segment: the design, manufacture and marketing of a broad line of high-performance linear, mixed-signal and digital integrated circuits that address a wide range of real-world signal processing applications. Analog's products can be divided into three classifications: standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs (SLICs); special-purpose linear and mixed-signal ICs (SPLICs) and digital signal processing ICs (DSP ICs); and assembled products. A substantial portion of the Company's products are proprietary (available only from Analog), while equivalents to most of its other products are available from a limited number of other suppliers. Many of the Company's products tend to be less price sensitive than other types of ICs, such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) ICs, primarily because there are fewer suppliers and because OEMs, in many cases, after qualifying one manufacturer's high-performance linear or mixed-signal IC for a specific application, are reluctant to switch manufacturers due to the risk of degradation in the performance of their product and/or the effort required to qualify additional suppliers. The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of revenue attributable to each of the Company's product groups for the past three fiscal years:
PRODUCTS 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------ SLICs 59% 60% 64% SPLICs and DSP ICs 30 26 18 Assembled Products 11 14 18
SLICS SLICs have been the foundation of the Company's business for more than 20 years, and the Company expects that they will continue to be its core products for much of the 1990s. Analog believes that it is currently one of the world's largest suppliers of SLIC products. The Company's SLIC products are primarily high-performance, single-function devices. The majority of the Company's SLIC revenue is attributable to data converters (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog) and amplifiers. Other products within this category with significant sales are analog signal-processing devices (such as analog multipliers), voltage references and comparators. The Company is currently expanding its SLIC product offerings in areas where it traditionally has had limited focus, principally interface circuits and power management ICs. It is also expanding its SLIC product line to include a much larger number of products designed to operate from single-supply 3- or 5-volt power sources to better meet the needs of customers designing portable, battery-operated equipment. Analog's SLIC products tend to be general purpose in nature, which allows customers to incorporate them in a wide variety of equipment and systems. Analog's product portfolio includes several hundred SLICs, any one of which can have as many as several hundred customers. The Company's SLIC customers include both OEMs and customers who build equipment for their own use. Historically, most SLICs have been purchased by OEMs which serve the industrial and military/aerospace markets, but they are now also being used for applications in personal computers (PCs), peripheral equipment used with PCs and computers, and commercial and consumer communications equipment. Design engineers employed by the Company's OEM customers typically select SLIC products based on information in the Company's catalogs, datasheets and other promotional materials. By using standard, high-performance, readily available, off-the-shelf components in their designs, Analog's customers can reduce the time required to develop and bring new products to market. Given the high cost of developing customized ICs, SLICs usually provide the most cost- effective solutions for low- to medium-volume applications. In addition, combinations of SLICs connected together on a printed circuit board can provide functionality that cannot currently be implemented with a single-chip device. 2 4 SPLICS AND DSP ICS SPLICs and DSP ICs, which are collectively referred to as system-level ICs, are multi-function devices that feature high levels of functional integration on a single chip. Most SPLICs are mixed-signal devices (some of which include DSP capability) and the balance are linear-only devices. SPLICs are almost always designed to the requirements of a specific application, and the design process often includes significant input from one or more potential key customers. Market demand for SPLICs is driven by the benefits that result from using one of these devices rather than a combination of SLICs and other ICs. These benefits include higher performance, lower cost per function, smaller size, lower weight, fewer parts, decreased power consumption, easier design-ins and faster time to market. These benefits are becoming more important to the Company's OEM customers as they increase their focus on high-performance, small, lightweight products, many of which are battery powered. Many of the products they are designing could not be developed without these types of ICs. The Company's DSP ICs are designed to efficiently execute specialized programs (algorithms) associated with processing real-time, real-world data. The Company's fixed-point and floating-point DSP ICs share a common architecture and code compatibility, which allows system designers to make cost, performance and time-to-market trade-offs. By reducing the manufacturing cost of its fixed- point DSP ICs, the Company has been able to reduce the selling prices of these devices, which has made it possible to incorporate them in mass-market products such as PCs and modems. Analog's DSP ICs are supported with specialized applications and easy-to-use, low-cost design tools, which reduce product development cost and time to market. The Company's DSP IC revenue growth has been aided by the availability of analog and mixed-signal "front-end" ICs such as data converters from the Company. The Company's DSP IC revenues are derived from both digital-only devices and mixed-signal ICs that include a DSP core along with data conversion and analog signal processing circuitry. Demand for system-level ICs that incorporate both DSP functionality and sophisticated mixed-signal capability is expected to increase as customers continue to demand as much functionality as possible from a single chip. ASSEMBLED PRODUCTS The Company's assembled products consist primarily of hybrid products (devices with several IC chips mounted and wired together on a substrate) and modules (ICs and other components soldered to a small printed circuit board, which is mounted inside a small plastic case). These are primarily older products, which include devices such as amplifiers and data converters used in data acquisition applications. Revenue from this product group began declining in fiscal 1989, due in part to the deliberate obsolescence of certain products (in conjunction with a manufacturing consolidation program implemented by the Company) and their replacement with newer- generation ICs from the Company. Assembled products revenue is expected to continue declining at a moderate rate. However, given the proprietary nature of the majority of the products in this line, the Company expects that these products will continue providing a positive contribution to cash flow and profits. PRINCIPAL MARKET AND APPLICATIONS The Company's principal market is comprised of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that incorporate the Company's products in equipment, instruments and systems sold to end users for a wide variety of applications, including computers and computer peripherals; communications equipment; engineering, medical and scientific instruments; industrial automation equipment; military/aerospace equipment; and high-end consumer electronics products. The Company's growth has been aided both by the expansion of the markets represented by these end-use applications and by the increasing use of computer technology in the equipment and systems offered for sale in these markets. Analog believes that for fiscal 1994 its 20 largest customers accounted for approximately 27% of the Company's net sales. The largest single customer represented less than 5% of net sales. Sales of the Company's products are not highly seasonal. 3 5 Listed below are some of the characteristics of each of the Company's major served markets: INSTRUMENTATION--includes manufacturers of engineering, medical and scientific instruments. These products are usually designed using the highest performance SLICs available, where the end product must be substantially more accurate than the equipment or phenomena it is expected to measure, and where production volumes generally do not warrant custom or application-specific ICs. The Company's products sold into this market usually have long product life cycles. INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION--includes data acquisition systems, automatic process control systems, robotics, environmental control systems and automatic test equipment (ATE). These products generally require ICs that offer performance greater than that available from commodity-level ICs, but generally do not have production volumes that warrant custom or application-specific ICs. Combinations of SLICs are therefore usually employed to achieve the necessary functionality (ATE being an exception, where the high level of electronic circuitry required per tester has created opportunities for SPLICs). ICs sold into this market tend to have long product life cycles. MILITARY/AEROSPACE--includes the military, commercial avionics and space markets, all of which require high-performance ICs that meet rigorous environmental and reliability specifications. Nearly all of the Company's SLICs can be supplied in versions that meet the requirements of MIL-STD-883C, Class B, and many can be supplied to Class S, an even more stringent specification that governs ICs used for spaceflight applications. Most of the Company's products sold into this market are derived from standard commercial grade ICs, although the Company sometimes develops products expressly for military/aerospace applications. COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER PERIPHERALS--includes high-performance personal computers, workstations and peripheral devices such as hard disk drives. The Company currently supplies a variety of ICs used in this market for functions such as graphic displays; interfaces between PCs and peripherals such as modems and printers; power and battery management; processing analog signals from a hard disk drive's read head and positioning the read head over a hard disk drive platter; and providing enhanced sound input and output capability for business and entertainment applications. This market is characterized by rapidly developing technology. COMMUNICATIONS--includes data and fax modems, digital cellular telephones and portable, wireless communications equipment. The need for ever higher speed, coupled with more reliable, more bandwidth-efficient communications is creating increasing demand for systems that include both digital and analog signal processing capability. Demand for signal processing ICs for this market is also being driven by the equipment manufacturers' need for components that enable them to develop cost-effective products that feature high performance, small size, low weight and minimal power consumption. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS--The emergence of high-performance consumer products, such as compact disc players, digital VCRs, digital audio tape equipment and digital camcorders, has led to the need for high-performance SPLICs with a high level of functionality. Although the Company's revenue from this market is not currently significant, the Company expects to supply ICs for sophisticated products used by consumers for computing, communications and entertainment applications, and believes that many of these applications will involve digital signal processing. In addition to the above markets, Analog is pursuing the automotive market. Although this market has historically been served with low-cost, low-performance ICs, demand has developed for higher performance devices for a wide range of applications. In response, Analog is developing products specifically for the automotive market. The Company began shipments of its first automotive product, a micromachined IC employed as a crash sensor in airbag systems, in 1993. In 1994 the Company began shipments of this device to Delco for airbag systems in several 1995 model-year General Motors "W body" cars, including the Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass and Buick Century. Revenues from this device were not significant in 1994, but are expected to increase substantially beginning in 1995. 4 6 NEW PRODUCTS Analog's revenue growth is driven by a continuing flow of new products. More than 40% of the Company's orders in fiscal 1994 were for products introduced within the preceding five years. Among the key new products introduced and/or first actively marketed in 1994 were: SHARC 32-BIT, FLOATING-POINT DSP--A high-performance 32-bit, floating-point digital signal processor (DSP), with 40 MIPS (millions of instructions/second) capability. It is available in two versions: the ADSP-21060 with 4 Mb of on-board static memory and the ADSP-21062 with 2 Mb. This device achieved a broad range of design-ins during 1994, and is well suited for applications such as digital mobile radio base stations, speech processing, graphics and imaging systems and high-performance arcade games. ADSP-2171 HIGH-PERFORMANCE 16-BIT, FIXED-POINT DSP--Analog's highest-performance fixed-point DSP. Because of its low power, high MIPS and added functionality, this device is particularly well suited for handling speech coding requirements for digital radio communications. It is also well suited for PC applications for processing real-time signals such as those used in voice, audio and telephone applications. AD899 COMPLETE READ CHANNEL--A fully integrated read-channel IC for hard disk drives. It replaces multiple-chip solutions with a single device that significantly reduces power and space requirements, as well as overall function cost, while supporting data transfer rates of up to 32 Mbits per second. AD8001 HIGH-SPEED, LOW-POWER AMPLIFIER--A very fast general-purpose operational amplifier. It provides operation at 800 MHz while consuming only 50 mW of power. The AD8001 is well suited for use as an A/D converter driver, in numerous video applications, and in the RF (radio frequency) section of receivers. AD1845/46 STEREO CODECS--Third-generation 16-bit codec ICs that provide low-cost, single-chip audio solution for business audio and multimedia applications for both computer motherboard and add-in card implementations. Both devices are compatible with the Windows Sound System (a trademark of Microsoft Corp.). The AD1846 provides a parallel computer interface, while the AD1845 has an asynchronous interface and includes sample rate conversion technology, which permits audio signals digitized at different sample rates to be used in the same system. AD20MSP815 PERSONAL SOUNDCOMM CHIPSET--A five-chip chipset for implementing many popular PC functions, including 14.4 Kbps fax and data modem capability, industry-standard 16-bit audio capability, and telephone functions such as answering machine and speaker phone capability. The chipset consists of a DSP IC, a stereo audio codec IC, a complete, high-performance analog front-end and two custom logic chips. A complete design guide is also available that greatly simplifies the customer's design-in task. ADM663/666 VOLTAGE REGULATORS--Five-volt regulators used for power management in end products such as communications equipment and computers. These products are representative of Analog's increased focus on ICs designed expressly for power management applications. AD835 MULTIPLIER AND AD831 MIXER --These two analog ICs are used as building blocks for RF (radio frequency) front-ends in receivers. They are among the first parts introduced by Analog aimed specifically at RF front-end applications for products such as digital mobile radio base stations and handsets, RF modems, and communications and aircraft receivers. AD420 4-20 mA D/A CONVERTER--A serial-input 16-bit digital-to-analog converter used to generate a 4-to-20 mA analog output signal that is proportional to its digital input signal. It provides a high-precision, fully integrated, low-cost, single-chip solution for generating the industry-standard control loop signals required in industrial automation systems. LOW VOLTAGE, LOW POWER ICs--During 1994 Analog Devices introduced a substantial number of ICs designed to operate from single-supply 3- and 5-volt power sources. Some of these products represent new functionality, while many are lower-voltage, lower-power versions of existing products. They are much better suited for many emerging computer and communication applications in battery-powered portable products where power consumption is a primary concern. Products in this catergory included amplifiers, data converters and DSPs. 5 7 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The markets served by Analog are characterized by rapid technological changes and advances. Accordingly, the Company makes substantial investments in the design and development of new products and processes, and for significant improvement of existing products and processes. Analog spent $106.9 million during fiscal 1994 for the design, development and improvement of new and existing products and processes, compared to $94.1 million during fiscal 1993 and $88.2 million during 1992. In fiscal 1994, approximately half of the Company's R&D expenditures were devoted to the design and development of SPLICs and DSP ICs, and the development and improvement of processes used for these products. The Company believes that it will be able to leverage its core technological competencies and leadership position in linear and DSP technology to design and develop a wide range of highly integrated, high-performance, cost-effective mixed-signal SPLICs, many of which will include DSP capability. At the same time, however, the Company expects to continue developing new and improved SLIC products to increase its share of the SLIC market. As of December 1, 1994, the Company owned 262 U.S. patents and had 91 patent applications on file with the United States patent office. The Company believes that while its patents may provide some advantage, its competitive position is largely determined by such factors as the knowledge, ability and experience of the Company's personnel, new product development, market recognition and ongoing marketing efforts, customer service and technical support. SALES CHANNELS Analog sells its products in both North America and internationally through a direct sales force, third-party distributors and independent sales representatives. Approximately 44% of fiscal 1994 revenue was derived from customers in North America. As of December 1, 1994, the Company had 17 sales offices in the United States, and its third-party distribution channel consisted of nine national and regional third-party distributors and several independent sales representatives with numerous locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Approximately 26% of the Company's fiscal 1994 revenue was derived from sales to customers in Europe; 17% to customers in Japan; and 13% to customers in other international markets. As of December 1, 1994, the Company had direct sales offices in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. The Company also had sales representatives and/or distributors in approximately 25 countries outside North America, including countries where the Company also has direct sales offices. Approximately one-third of Analog's fiscal 1994 revenue was derived from sales made through distributors. The Company's distributors typically maintain an inventory of Analog products. Some of these distributors also sell products competitive with the Company's products, including those for which the Company is an alternate source. Sales to distributors are made under agreements which provide protection to the distributors for their inventory of Company products against price reductions and products that are slow-moving or have been discontinued by the Company. These agreements generally contain a provision for the return of the products to the Company in the event the relationship with the distributor is terminated. Sales to North American distributors are not recognized until the products are resold by distributors to their customers. Sales made to distributors outside North America are recognized upon shipment to the distributor, but the Company provides specific reserves for possible returns and allowances. The Company's worldwide sales efforts are supported by an extensive promotional program that includes editorial coverage and paid advertising in trade publications; direct mail programs; promotional brochures; technical seminars; and participation in trade shows. The Company publishes and distributes full-length databooks, short-form catalogs, applications guides, technical handbooks and detailed data sheets for individual products. The Company also maintains a staff of application engineers who aid customers in incorporating Analog's products into their products during their product development cycles. 6 8 PRODUCTION AND RAW MATERIALS Monolithic integrated circuit components are manufactured in a sequence of production steps that include wafer fabrication, wafer testing, cutting the wafer into individual "chips" (or dice), assembly of the dice into packages and electrical testing of the devices in final packaged form. The raw materials used to manufacture these devices include silicon wafers, processing chemicals (including liquefied gases), precious metals, ceramic packages and plastic used for plastic packaging. In addition to using industry-standard bipolar and CMOS wafer fabrication processes, Analog employs a number of Company-developed proprietary processes specifically tailored for use in fabricating high-performance linear and mixed-signal SLICs and SPLICs. Analog's IC products are fabricated both at the Company's production facilities and by third-party wafer fabricators. Assuming that the Company can continue to maintain favorable relationships with its third-party wafer fabricators, it intends to continue using such suppliers for meeting most of its needs for wafers that can be fabricated using industry-standard digital processes. The Company intends to meet most of its needs for wafers fabricated with linear and mixed-signal processes with wafers fabricated at the Company's production facilities. Hybrid products are manufactured by mounting and connecting together several integrated circuit chips in a single package. Some of the chips used in the Company's hybrids are manufactured by the Company and some are purchased from outside suppliers. The production process for modular components, subsystems and systems consists primarily of assembly, packaging and testing. Some of the Company's assembled products are assembled and tested within the Company's U.S. manufacturing facilities, while others are assembled and tested at Company-owned facilities outside the United States or by subcontractors, principally in the Far East. In general, the Company uses standard supplies and components in the manufacture of its products and most are available from a number of suppliers. Certain items are made to the Company's specifications and are available from a limited number of suppliers. However, the Company believes that, if necessary, alternative sources of supply for these items could be developed, and that any delays in obtaining alternative sources would be temporary and would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company manufactures and sells a wide variety of products, a significant portion of which are standard products delivered from inventory on a current basis. As a result, the Company generally maintains finished goods inventories sufficient to meet customer delivery requirements within a short time following receipt of an order. BACKLOG The Company defines its backlog at any point in time as those orders for which customers have requested shipment within the next 13 weeks. The quantities of the Company's products to be delivered and their delivery schedules, as covered by customer purchase orders, are frequently revised by customers to reflect changes in their needs. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, most such orders can be canceled or deliveries delayed by the customer without significant penalty. Backlog at the end of fiscal 1994 was approximately $152.8 million; it was approximately $127.1 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. In the past, backlog at the end of one quarter has typically represented about 60% to 70% of the next quarter's sales. For example, the backlog at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994 was approximately $140.1 million; sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 were $203.3 million. Standard products, which are typically delivered from current inventory, usually account for much of the difference between one quarter's ending backlog and the next quarter's sales. Agreements between the Company and its third-party stocking distributors provide price protection for the distributors and certain rights of return for merchandise unsold by the distributors; as a result, sales to domestic distributors are not recognized until the products are resold by the distributors to their customers. For these reasons, and the previously mentioned ability of customers to cancel orders or delay deliveries without significant penalty, the Company believes that its backlog is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future revenue. 7 9 GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS The Company estimates that approximately 15% of its total worldwide revenue is attributable to sales to the U.S. government and government contractors and subcontractors. Analog's government contract-related business is predominantly in the form of negotiated, firm fixed-priced subcontracts. All such contracts and subcontracts contain standard provisions related to termination at the election of the United States government. The Company expects that the U.S. government's intention to further reduce U.S. military spending will result in a continuing gradual reduction in the percentage of the Company's total sales going to governmental users and contractors. COMPETITION Analog competes with a large number of semiconductor companies in markets that are highly competitive. The Company believes it is one of the largest suppliers of high-performance linear and mixed-signal signal-processing components. These types of products fall into both the SLIC and SPLIC product categories. Competitors for the Company's linear and mixed-signal products include Brooktree Corp., Burr-Brown Corp., Cirrus Logic Inc., Exar Corp., Harris Corp., Linear Technology Corp., Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., National Semiconductor Corp., Sierra Semiconductor Corp., Siliconix Inc., Silicon Systems (a subsidiary of TDK Corp), Texas Instruments, Inc. and others. Sales of DSP ICs represent a growing percentage of the Company's total sales. Analog's competitors for DSP ICs include AT&T, Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Motorola Semiconductor Products and Texas Instruments, Inc. Many other companies offer components that compete with Analog's products; some also offer other electronic products, and some have financial resources substantially larger than Analog's. Also, some formerly independent competitors have been purchased by larger companies (which in some cases may be viewed as a means by which the acquiring company gains in-house capability). However, to the Company's knowledge, no manufacturer competes with Analog across all of the product types offered by the Company in its signal-processing components product line. Analog believes that competitive performance in the marketplace for real-world signal-processing components depends upon several factors, including product price, technical innovation, product quality and reliability, range of products, customer service and technical support. Analog believes its aggressive technical innovation emphasizing product performance and reliability, supported by its commitment to strong customer service and technical support, will allow the Company to continue to compete successfully in its chosen markets against both foreign and domestic semiconductor manufacturers. ENVIRONMENT Analog's manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations, particularly with respect to industrial waste and emissions. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material impact on the Company's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. EMPLOYEES As of October 29, 1994, the Company employed approximately 5,400 persons. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Analog has direct sales offices in 16 countries outside the United States. In addition, the Company has manufacturing facilities in Ireland, Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan. The Company also has arrangements with subcontractors, principally in the Far East, for the wafer fabrication, assembly and testing of certain products. The majority of Analog's international sales in the past fiscal year were made through its direct international sales offices while the balance, approximately one-third of the total, were made through distributors. 8 10 A significant portion of Analog's revenues and operating profits are derived from international operations, and the Company is therefore subject to the economic and political risks inherent in international operations generally, including expropriation, air transportation disruptions, currency controls and changes in currency exchange rates, tax and tariff rates and freight rates. The Company has taken steps it deems prudent in its international operations to diversify and otherwise insure and protect against these risks. Financial information concerning domestic and international operations appears in Notes 1(f), 1(g) and 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this report. 9 11 ITEM 2.

10 12 In addition to the principal leased properties listed above, the Company also leases sales offices and other premises at 24 locations in the United States and 26 locations overseas under operating lease agreements. These leases expire at various dates through the year 2010. See Note 5 - "Lease Commitments" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning the Company's obligations under all operating and capital leases. The Company believes that its existing and planned facilities are adequate and suitable for the manufacture and sale of its products, and have sufficient productive capacity to meet its current and anticipated requirements. In addition, the Company anticipates no difficulty in retaining occupancy of any of its manufacturing, office or sales facilities through lease renewals prior to expiration or through month-to-month occupancy, or in replacing them with equivalent facilities. 11 13 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TEXAS INSTRUMENTS LITIGATION The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Texas Instruments, Inc. ("TI") on July 9, 1990 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Dallas Division). The complaint alleges that certain plastic encapsulation processes conducted by the Company's subsidiaries in Ireland and the Philippines infringe two TI patents (both of which had expired by August 1994) and seeks an injunction and unspecified damages. The alleged infringement of one of these patents was also the subject matter of a proceeding brought by TI against the Company before the International Trade Commission (the "ITC") on July 9, 1990 seeking an injunction preventing the Company from importing allegedly infringing products into the United States. Following a hearing in May 1991, the ITC upheld the validity of the TI patent, determined that certain types of encapsulation processes practiced by the Company's subsidiaries infringed the TI patent and found that alternative encapsulation processes used by the Company's subsidiaries did not infringe the TI patent. The ITC also determined that, upon the merger of Precision Monolithics, Inc. ("PMI") into the Company in November 1990, the Company acquired the benefit of a license from TI to PMI for the TI patent. Pursuant to such license, the Company obtained what it believed was the right to import annually up to $94 million of integrated circuits using the patented encapsulation process. The decision of the ITC was upheld on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Even if the Company's ability to utilize the full amount of the PMI license is upheld by the District Court, TI could seek damages for sales of allegedly infringing products between February 1989 and the November 1990 merger with PMI. On January 10, 1994, the ITC brought an enforcement proceeding against the Company alleging that the Company had violated the ITC's cease and desist order of February 1992, as modified in July 1993. The ITC is seeking substantial penalties against the Company for these alleged violations. The Company has denied that it violated either of these orders. An initial hearing in this proceeding is scheduled to begin on February 13, 1995. On June 19, 1992, the Company commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that certain TI digital signal processors infringed a patent owned by the Company. TI has filed counterclaims in this action alleging that certain of the Company's products infringe four TI patents relating to digital signal processing and electrostatic discharge protection in integrated circuits. In its counterclaim, TI seeks an injunction against the Company from violating the TI patents and unspecified damages. The Company has denied the essential allegations in the TI counterclaims. A trial in this case is currently scheduled for June 1995. MAXIM LITIGATION The Company is a defendant in a suit brought by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim") on November 11, 1992 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges violations of federal antitrust law and pendant state claims in connection with distribution arrangements between the Company and certain distributors. Maxim alleged that a number of these distributors ceased doing business with Maxim as a result of the distribution arrangements between the distributors and the Company. Maxim claims that those agreements have improperly restricted its access to channels by which it distributes its products. Maxim seeks, among other things, injunctive relief and actual, consequential and punitive damages. In a pre-trial submission dated August 31, 1994, Maxim asserted actual and consequential damages in the amount of $14.1 million. It also claims restitution and punitive damages in an unspecified amount. Under applicable law, Maxim would receive three times the amount of any actual damages suffered as a result of any antitrust violation. On September 7, 1994, the Northern District of California ruled in favor of the Company on a summary judgment motion, dismissing all of Maxim's claim for lack of evidence. Maxim has appealed this ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has ordered that briefing of the appeal be concluded by March 7, 1995. For additional information concerning the above described lawsuits and the potential impact of such suits upon the Company's financial condition and results of operations, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." 12 14 OTHER The Company has also received and made inquiries with regard to other possible patent infringement claims. These inquiries have been referred to counsel and are in various stages of discussion. If any infringements are determined to exist, the Company may seek or extend licenses or settlements. In addition, from time to time as a normal incidence of the nature of the Company's business, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced against the Company arising from or related to contractual relations, personal injury, environmental matters and product liability. While the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of these other matters, at this time management believes that the likelihood of an outcome resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, trends in results of operations or cash flows is remote.

14 16 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ADI. The table below sets forth the high and low prices of the Common Stock during the two most recent fiscal years.
1994 1993 ----------------------- ------------------------ PERIOD HIGH LOW HIGH LOW ------ ---- --- ---- --- First Quarter $ 17.50 $ 12.88 $ 11.63 $ 7.75 Second Quarter $ 20.75 $ 16.38 $ 14.25 $ 10.38 Third Quarter $ 20.88 $ 16.38 $ 14.88 $ 11.88 Fourth Quarter $ 24.50 $ 17.63 $ 18.63 $ 13.13
On November 30, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend distributed on January 4, 1995 to stockholders of record December 12, 1994. All stock prices in the table above have been restated to reflect the split. The Company's $60,000,000 credit agreement restricts the aggregate of all cash dividend payments declared or made subsequent to October 29, 1994 to an amount not exceeding $85,147,000 plus 50% of the consolidated net income of the Company for the period from October 30, 1994 through the end of the Company's then most recent fiscal quarter. Although prior credit agreements may not have restricted the payment of dividends, the Company has never paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The approximate number of holders of record of the Company's Common Stock at December 30, 1994 was 4,417. This number does not include shareholders for whom shares are held in a "nominee" or "street" name. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

15 17 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993 Net sales of $773.5 million for fiscal 1994 increased 16% from net sales of $666.3 million for fiscal 1993. The sales increase was due principally to higher sales volumes of both standard linear IC and system-level IC products which together grew approximately 20% year-over-year to comprise approximately 90% of total sales for fiscal 1994. Standard linear IC sales rose $54.3 million or approximately 14% to $455.3 million in fiscal 1994. This increase was primarily due to the combination of increased penetration of the distribution channel coupled with well accepted new product offerings. As a percentage of total sales, standard linear products accounted for 59% in fiscal 1994 compared to 60% in fiscal 1993. Sales of system-level IC products grew $59.6 million or approximately 34% to $234.6 million in fiscal 1994. This growth was attributable largely to increased demand for applications in personal computers and wireless communications products, and the Company's broader participation in these growing markets. Sales of assembled products declined approximately 7% from fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994 and as a percentage of total sales decreased from 14% to 11% over the same period. Despite the revenue declines in assembled products over the past few years and lower gross margins associated with these products, this product grouping remained profitable in 1994. Sales to North American customers increased 18% over 1993 levels to $343.9 million with much of this increase coming from the distributor channel as sales through North American distributors increased 36% from the prior year. Sales to international customers grew 15% led by sales increases of approximately 27% and 35% in Japan and Southeast Asia, respectively. Sales growth in Japan was mainly attributable to increased demand for standard linear IC products, aided in part by the translation of yen-denominated sales to a weaker average U.S. dollar. The sales increase in Southeast Asia represented continued strength in sales of personal computer products. European sales of $197.9 million for fiscal 1994 were flat compared to the prior year due to weaker European industrial economies as compared to fiscal 1993. Sales growth in Europe resumed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, growing again after weakness in the first nine months of the year as the European economy showed improvement, particularly Germany. As a percentage of total net sales, North American and international sales remained at 44% and 56%, respectively, which are comparable to fiscal 1993. Gross margin improved to 49.0% of sales for fiscal 1994 compared to 47.3% for fiscal 1993. This increase resulted principally from a significant improvement in gross margin for system-level IC products as variable manufacturing costs declined and fixed costs were allocated over greater production volumes. Gross margin for the Company's standard linear IC products remained at a high level and gross margin on all IC products, which include both standard linear and system-level ICs, was approximately 50% of sales. Overall gross margin for fiscal 1995 will depend primarily on the gross margin from system-level IC products and the relative mix of sales between standard linear and system-level ICs. During fiscal 1995, the Company does not anticipate overall gross margin to improve at the same rate of improvement as achieved in fiscal 1994. Research and development expenses for fiscal 1994 increased 13.6% from fiscal 1993 as the Company continued to invest in new product development. As a percentage of sales, R&D expenses were 13.8% compared to 14.1% for the prior year. R&D expenses for fiscal 1995 are expected to increase approximately 15% to 20% over fiscal 1994 levels as the Company expands its investments in communications, digital signal processing and micromachining technology. Selling, marketing, general and administrative (SMG&A) expenses grew 7.4% compared to fiscal 1993, increasing at a lower rate than sales. As a result, SMG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 22.0% for fiscal 1994 from 23.8% for fiscal 1993. The increase in SMG&A expenses related mostly to increased strategic advertising and marketing expenses associated with many new product launches and additional incentive expense associated with the Company's improved performance. 16 18 In total, operating expenses were reduced to 35.8% of sales, down from 37.9% one year ago, consistent with the Company's emphasis on maintaining tight control over all costs in order to gain better operating leverage on increases in revenues. A key factor in controlling operating expenses has been holding worldwide employment relatively flat at levels approximately equal to that of 1990, while revenues have grown significantly since that time. Operating income reached 13.2% of sales for fiscal 1994, an increase of nearly four percentage points from 9.4% of sales for fiscal 1993. This performance gain reflected the higher sales level, improvement in gross margin as a percent of sales and a slower rate of expense growth versus sales. Nonoperating expenses decreased $2.3 million, benefiting from increased interest income on a higher level of invested cash as net interest expense was reduced from $5.8 million in fiscal 1993 to $2.0 million in fiscal 1994. Due to the funding of fiscal 1995 planned capital expenditures with cash on hand and expected operating cash flows, the Company expects interest income to decline in fiscal 1995. The effective income tax rate increased to 23% in fiscal 1994 from 20% in fiscal 1993 due to a shift in the mix of worldwide income. In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). The impact of adopting FAS 109 was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 1(k), "Income Taxes," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning the adoption of FAS 109. The growth in sales, improved operating performance and lower nonoperating expenses resulted in a 68% rise in net income to $74.5 million or 9.6% of sales compared to $44.5 million or 6.7% of sales in fiscal 1993. The Company has not yet adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Adoption of these statements which is required in fiscal year 1995 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The impact of inflation on the Company's business during the past three years has not been significant. FISCAL 1993 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1992 Net sales rose 17% to $666.3 million for fiscal 1993, compared to fiscal 1992 sales of $567.3 million. Sales growth in fiscal 1993 was principally attributable to increased sales volumes. Overall market demand for integrated circuits remained strong throughout fiscal 1993, with the Company benefiting from this demand both in its broad-based, standard-function linear IC business and in its application specific, system-level IC business. Total IC sales, including both standard linear IC and system-level IC products, increased $113 million or 24% in fiscal 1993 to comprise 87% of total sales. Sales of assembled products declined approximately 14% in fiscal 1993. Sales of standard linear IC products increased $38 million or approximately 10% in fiscal 1993. As a percentage of sales, standard linear IC products accounted for 60% in fiscal 1993 compared to 64% in fiscal 1992. Increased distribution sales, which represented approximately 40% of total standard linear IC sales, and new product offerings led to much of the growth in sales of standard linear IC products. Sales of system-level ICs grew by more than 70% to $175 million, or 26% of total sales. This growth was fueled by increasing success in fast growing sectors of the communications and computer markets in fiscal 1993. Assembled product sales declined by $14 million or approximately 14% in fiscal 1993. Assembled products continued to decline as a percentage of total revenues as well, falling to 14% of total sales in fiscal 1993. Despite the 14% decline in revenues of assembled products, this product grouping was profitable for fiscal 1993. Sales in North America grew approximately 8% over the prior year to $292.1 million. The distributor channel in North America was a major contributor to this growth with sales through distributors increasing approximately 24% in fiscal 1993. Sales to all international customers increased 26% with sales in Europe, Japan and export sales to Southeast Asia increasing 17%, 20% and 74%, respectively. Much of the sales growth in Southeast Asia resulted from design-ins achieved in the U.S. and Western Europe for applications in personal computers. Sales growth in Europe was fueled largely by strong sales of system-level ICs used in the GSM digital cellular phone network. Demand showed renewed strength in Japan from the depressed levels in fiscal 1992 with the fiscal 1993 sales increase mainly attributable to increased 17 19 sales of standard linear IC products. A weaker average dollar exchange rate year-to-year also contributed to some of the Japanese sales improvement. As a percentage of total net sales, North American sales decreased from 47% in fiscal 1992 to 44% in fiscal 1993 and international sales increased from 53% in fiscal 1992 to 56% in fiscal 1993. This shift reflected a significant increase in sales to customers in Southeast Asia. Gross margin improved slightly to 47.3% of sales in fiscal 1993 from 46.8% in fiscal 1992 due to continued control of manufacturing costs. R&D expenses for fiscal 1993 grew approximately 7% over the prior year but as a percentage of sales decreased to 14.1%, down from 15.5% of sales for fiscal 1992. This improvement was the result of continuing efforts to focus R&D on the most promising opportunities where the Company can build a sustainable competitive advantage and earn high return factors. SMG&A expenses grew 5% in absolute dollars in fiscal 1993, increasing at a much lower rate than sales. As a result, the SMG&A to sales ratio declined from 26.7% for fiscal 1992 to 23.8% for fiscal 1993. The 5% growth in SMG&A expenses principally reflected normal increases for salaries and benefits and increased incentive expense associated with the Company's performance. Operating income for fiscal 1993 was $62.7 million or 9.4% of sales, more than double the $26.2 million or 4.6% of sales for fiscal 1992. The significant improvement in operating income was the result of increased sales, improved gross margin performance and tight operating expense controls which allowed the Company to gain strong operating leverage on increased revenues. Interest expense for fiscal 1993 increased to $7.2 million from $6.0 million in fiscal 1992. This increase resulted from a higher level of total borrowings in fiscal 1993 which included the issuance of $80 million of long-term debt during the year. Interest expense net of interest income was $5.8 million for fiscal 1993 compared to $5.1 million for fiscal 1992 as the increased interest expense on a higher level of debt was offset to some degree by interest income earned on a higher level of invested cash resulting from increased cash flows from operations combined with the excess proceeds from the $80 million offering. The effective income tax rate decreased slightly to 20% in fiscal 1993 from 21% in fiscal 1992. The tax provisions for both fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992 were driven largely by the high proportion of income earned by the Company's Irish operation for which earnings are taxed at a lower rate. Net income was $44.5 million, or three times the $14.9 million earned in fiscal 1992. As a percentage of sales, net income was 6.7% in fiscal 1993 versus 2.6% in fiscal 1992. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At October 29, 1994, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $181.8 million, an increase of $101.1 million from $80.7 million at the end of fiscal 1993. Increased cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments resulted from a significant improvement in cash provided from operations compared to fiscal 1993. During fiscal 1994, the Company invested $72.7 million in short-term investments including commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances with maturities greater than three months and less than one year. Cash provided by operating activities was $183.3 million or 23.7% of sales for fiscal 1994 compared to $89.5 million or 13.4% of sales for fiscal 1993. The increase in operating cash flows in fiscal 1994 was mainly attributable to higher net income together with a decrease in inventories and an increase in accounts payable, which were offset in part by growth in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable of $162.3 million at the end of fiscal 1994 increased $16.7 million or 11.4% from $145.7 million at the end of fiscal 1993. The primary factors contributing to the increase in accounts receivable were the 14% growth in fourth quarter sales between the two years and the translation of local currency denominated receivables to a weaker U.S. dollar, particularly in Japan. These increases were offset in part by improved collection of receivables. Despite the increase in accounts receivable in dollars year-to-year, accounts receivable as a percentage of annualized fourth quarter sales decreased slightly to 20.0% at the end of fiscal 1994 compared to 20.3% at the end of fiscal 1993. 18 20 Inventories declined $19.7 million during fiscal 1994 to $130.7 million. As a percentage of annualized fourth quarter sales, inventories were reduced from 21.0% to 16.1% which the Company believes is an appropriate level. The increase in accounts payable compared to fiscal 1993 primarily reflected fourth quarter fiscal 1994 expenditures associated with the expansion of the Company's Irish facility as described below. Net additions to property, plant and equipment of $90.9 million in fiscal 1994 were funded with internally generated cash flow from operations. Nearly half of these expenditures occurred in the fourth quarter as expansion of the Company's wafer fabrication facilities in Limerick, Ireland commenced. This expansion will include the addition of 6-inch submicron wafer fabrication capability intended primarily to meet the future demands associated with the Company's growth. Capital expenditures for fiscal 1995 are currently expected to be approximately $150 million, including approximately $65 million of capital expenditures associated with the Limerick wafer fabrication expansion. The Company expects to finance its planned fiscal 1995 capital additions with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, coupled with internally generated cash flow from operations. At October 29, 1994, substantially all of the Company's lines of credit were unused, including its four-year, $60 million credit facility. In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company's 7.18%, $20.0 million loan matured. Upon maturity, this loan was repaid in full with cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company believes that its strong financial condition, existing sources of liquidity, available capital resources and cash expected to be generated from operations leave it well positioned to obtain the funds required to meet its current and future business requirements. LITIGATION As set forth in "Business-Legal Proceedings," the Company is engaged in patent infringement litigation with Texas Instruments, Inc. ("TI") and antitrust litigation with Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim"). See Item 3, "Business - Legal Proceedings" for additional information concerning these lawsuits. If it is determined that the Company has violated the cease and desist order entered by the ITC in February 1992, as modified in July 1993, the ITC could seek to impose penalties of up to $100,000 per day or equal to twice the value of the goods determined to be sold in violation of the order. If, in the district court action, it is found that certain plastic encapsulation processes used by the Company infringe TI's patents or that the Company did not obtain from PMI valid license rights to import up to $94 million annually of circuits using TI's patented process, the court could award TI substantial damages. Even if the district court upholds the validity of the PMI license, if it finds infringement by the Company, TI could seek damages for sales of allegedly infringing products between February 1989 and the November 1990 merger with PMI. The dismissal of Maxim's claims has been appealed. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to Maxim's antitrust allegations and intends to vigorously defend the suit. If the dismissal is overturned on appeal and Maxim's claims are upheld in a subsequent trial on the merits, in addition to potential damage awards the Company may be required to modify its relationships with its distributors. Although the Company believes it should prevail in the matters described above, the Company is unable to determine their ultimate outcome or estimate the ultimate amount of liability, if any, at this time. An adverse resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or on its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the matters are resolved. FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS The Company's future results remain difficult to predict and may be affected by a number of factors including business conditions within the semiconductor industry and the world economies as a whole, competitive pressures and cyclical market patterns. In addition, the Company's revenue growth is driven by a continuing flow of new products; more than 40% of the orders received by the Company in fiscal 1994 were for products introduced within the preceding five years. The success of many of these products and the Company's growth opportunities are dependent on successful penetration of new high volume computer, communication, and automotive segments of the electronics market where the Company has less experience and competition is substantial. No assurance can be given that new products can be developed, or if developed, will be successful; that market demand or customer acceptance will be realized; that demand if achieved will be sustained; that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low level or take market share from the Company; 19 21 or that the Company can achieve or maintain profits in these markets. Also, some of the customers in these markets are less well established which could subject the Company to increased credit risk. Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance. Investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future results and should be aware that the Company's stock price frequently experiences significant volatility. 20 22 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

22 24 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors and Stockholders Analog Devices, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Analog Devices, Inc. as of October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 29, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Analog Devices, Inc. at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 29, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, claims and actions have been brought against Analog Devices, Inc. and the ultimate outcome of these claims and actions cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability, if any, that may result has been made in the financial statements. ERNST & YOUNG LLP Boston, Massachusetts November 29, 1994 23 25 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

See accompanying notes. 27 29 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 29, 1994, OCTOBER 30, 1993 AND OCTOBER 31, 1992 (ALL TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992 were each 52-week years. B. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair value. Short-term investments consist of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances with maturities greater than three months and less than one year at the time of acquisition. The short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The Company is required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," (FAS 115) in fiscal 1995. Adoption of FAS 115 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. C. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992 were as follows:
1994 1993 1992 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw materials $ 15,277 $ 18,645 $ 26,239 Work in process 69,771 80,418 73,604 Finished goods 45,678 51,359 42,610 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total inventories $130,726 $150,422 $142,453 ================================================================================
A director of the Company is also a director of a raw material supplier. Total purchases from this supplier approximated $28,435,000 in 1994, $37,990,000 in 1993 and $21,984,000 in 1992. Accounts payable to this supplier at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992 approximated $1,090,000, $3,639,000 and $3,655,000, respectively. Another director of the Company was also a director of a raw material supplier through June 1993. Total purchases from this supplier approximated $1,510,000 in 1993 and $5,216,000 in 1992. Accounts payable to this supplier at October 31, 1992 approximated $397,000. The Company believes that the terms of these purchases were comparable to those available from other suppliers. D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The straight-line method of depreciation is used for all classes of assets for financial statement purposes; both straight-line and accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. Capitalized leases and leasehold improvements are amortized based upon the lesser of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization are based on the following useful lives: Buildings & Building Equipment Up to 25 years Machinery & Equipment 3-10 years Office Equipment 3-8 years 28 30 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Total depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment was $59,240,000, $57,732,000 and $52,858,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. E. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets at October 29, 1994 consist of goodwill, patents and other intangibles. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period. Patents and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives which range from four to fifteen years. Amortization expense for all intangible assets was $2,044,000, $2,081,000 and $2,092,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Accumulated amortization for all intangible assets was $8,636,000, $6,657,000 and $4,706,000 at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992, respectively. F. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES The functional currency for the Company's foreign sales operations is the applicable local currency. Gains and losses resulting from translation of these foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in income currently, including those at the Company's principal foreign manufacturing operations where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. G. FOREIGN CURRENCY INSTRUMENTS AND INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements to offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company's operations, assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These foreign exchange contract, option and swap transactions are entered into to support normal recurring purchases, product sales and financing transactions, and accordingly, are not speculative in nature. Forward foreign exchange contracts are utilized to manage the risk associated with currency fluctuations on certain firm purchase commitments, firm sales commitments and certain non-U.S. dollar denominated asset and liability positions. The forward foreign exchange contracts that relate to firm purchase and sales commitments are designated as effective hedges of firm foreign currency commitments, and accordingly, the gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and included in the measurement of the related foreign currency transaction. Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts designated to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities are recognized in income as the exchange rates change and offset the foreign currency gains and losses on the related transactions. The face amounts of forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992 were $136.4 million, $107.9 million and $107.4 million, respectively. Forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at October 29, 1994 have maturities of up to 14 months. The Company also may periodically purchase foreign currency option contracts to hedge certain probable anticipated, but not firmly committed, foreign currency transactions related to the sale of product during the ensuing twelve months. These foreign currency option contracts are designated as effective hedges of such transactions, and accordingly, the costs and any gains associated with these option contracts are deferred and included in the measurement of the related foreign currency transaction. When the dollar strengthens significantly against the foreign currencies, the decline in value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by the gains in the value of purchased currency options designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the value of future foreign currency cash flows is reduced only by the premium paid to acquire the options. The face amounts of foreign currency option contracts outstanding at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992 were $28.6 million, $29.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively. Purchased foreign currency options outstanding at October 29, 1994 have maturities of up to 6 months. 29 31 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Currency swap agreements are utilized to hedge the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on such agreements related to the net foreign investment being hedged are recognized in the cumulative translation adjustment component of stockholders' equity. The face amount of currency swap agreements outstanding at October 29, 1994 was $10.0 million. Currency swap agreements outstanding at October 29, 1994 have maturities of up to one year. The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to partially modify the interest characteristics of its financing arrangements from a fixed to a floating rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed rate amounts in exchange for floating rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the financing arrangement. The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included in liabilities or assets. The notional principal amounts of interest rate swap and cap agreements outstanding at October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993 were $50.5 million and $40.0 million, respectively. Interest rate swap and cap agreements outstanding at October 29, 1994 have maturities of up to 12 years. The cash requirements of the above-described foreign currency instruments and interest rate swap and cap agreements approximate their fair value. Cash flows associated with these financial instruments are classified consistent with the cash flows from the transactions being hedged. The foreign currency instruments and interest rate swap and cap agreements involve, to a varying degree, elements of market and interest rate risk not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. While the contract or notional amounts are often used to express the volume of the above-described instruments, the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the agreements exceed the obligations of the Company to the counterparties. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures including the use of high credit quality counterparties. H. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with high credit quality financial institutions and monitors the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company sells its products to distributors and original equipment manufacturers involved in a variety of industries including industrial automation, instrumentation, military/aerospace, and to an increasing degree, computers and peripherals, telecommunications and high performance consumer electronics. The Company has adopted credit policies and standards to accommodate growth into these markets. The Company believes that any risk of accounting loss with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the diversity of its products, end customers and geographic sales areas. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and although the Company generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from its customers in certain circumstances. Due to the Company's credit evaluation and collection process, bad debt losses have been insignificant. 30 32 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) I. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
OCTOBER 29, 1994 OCTOBER 30, 1993 ---------------- ---------------- CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR Amount Value Amount Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 109,113 $ 109,113 $ 80,668 $ 80,668 Short-term investments 72,652 72,652 - - Liabilities: Short-term borrowings (2,917) (2,917) (2,006) (2,006) Long-term debt, including current portion (100,000) (93,800) (100,000) (102,400) Foreign Currency Instruments and Interest Rate Agreements: Interest rate swap and cap agreements 5 (3,065) 98 89 Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (1,458) 641 727 25 Foreign currency option contracts 308 41 460 468 Currency swap agreement (853) (840) - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments -The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short term to maturity and readily available market for these types of investments. Short-term borrowings-The carrying amounts of these variable-rate borrowings approximate fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Long-term debt-The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on current interest rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms, degree of risk and remaining maturities. Interest rate swap and cap agreements-The fair value of interest rate swap and cap agreements are obtained from dealer quotes. These values represent the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration current interest rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contacts-The estimated fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the estimated amount at which they could be settled based on market exchange rates. 31 33 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreement-The fair values of foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreement are obtained from dealer quotes. These values represent the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements. J. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales to end users is recognized upon shipment. A portion of the Company's sales are made to domestic distributors under agreements allowing for price protection and certain rights of return on merchandise unsold by the distributors. Because of the uncertainty associated with pricing concessions and future returns, the Company defers recognition of such sales and related gross margin until the merchandise is sold by the distributors. For sales to international distributors, the Company recognizes the sale upon shipment to the distributor, but provides specific reserves for possible returns and allowances. K. INCOME TAXES In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). FAS 109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes under APB Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FAS 109, the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Effective October 31, 1993 the Company adopted FAS 109. The adoption of FAS 109 was not material to the consolidated financial statements. As permitted by FAS 109, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was applied at October 30, 1993 and in prior fiscal years, deferred income taxes are recognized for income and expense items that are reported in different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of calculation. Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates. L. STOCK SPLIT On November 30, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend distributed on January 4, 1995 to stockholders of record December 12, 1994. The split was accomplished through the issuance of common stock and the reissuance of treasury stock. All references to share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the split. M. EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Primary earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for incremental shares assumed issued for dilutive common stock equivalents. Fully diluted earnings per share do not differ materially from primary earnings per share. N. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation. 32 34 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

4. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES 6 5/8% NOTES ON March 11, 1993, the Company completed a public offering of $80 million of seven-year 6 5/8% notes due March 1, 2000 with semiannual interest payments on March 1 and September 1. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $79 million after payment of the underwriting discounts and expenses of the offering which were deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. Approximately $60.0 million of the net proceeds was used to repay in full outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement. Simultaneous with the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate swap and cap agreement for the term of the Notes having a notional principal amount of $40 million whereby the effective net interest rate on $40 million of the Notes will be the six-month libor rate (up to a maximum of 7%) plus 1.4%. For the year ended October 29, 1994, the net effective interest rate on $40 million of the Notes was 6.6% after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement. FIXED RATE TERM LOAN The Company has an unsecured, three-year term loan with a bank in the amount of $20,000,000 at a fixed interest rate of 7.18% per annum. Under this agreement, the Company is generally subject to the same financial covenants as are contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement described below. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under this agreement at October 29, 1994. This loan was repaid in full at maturity on November 14, 1994. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT AND LINES OF CREDIT The Company has a revolving credit agreement with several banks which commits them to lend up to $60,000,000. The terms of the credit agreement provide that interest on U.S. dollar borrowings may not exceed the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus .50%. Under this agreement, the Company also has the option to borrow both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies at interest rates tied to various money market instruments, customarily below the prime rate. Under the credit agreement, the Company is currently required to pay fees of .05 of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the lending commitment and .15 of 1% per annum on the total amount of the committed facility. All borrowings under the credit agreement are due no later than September 8, 1998. Borrowing from banks not participating in the agreement is permitted as long as the Company maintains certain required financial ratios. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain stated minimum net worth and current ratio levels, plus a stated maximum ratio of total liabilities to net worth. In addition, the credit agreement restricts the aggregate of all cash dividend payments declared or made subsequent to October 29, 1994 to an amount not exceeding $85,147,000 plus 50% of the consolidated net income of the Company for the period from October 30, 1994 through the end of the Company's then most recent fiscal quarter. At October 29, 1994, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement. There are no compensating balance requirements under the credit agreement. In addition to the credit agreement, the Company also has various unsecured, uncommitted money market lines of credit with its credit agreement and other banks which provide for short-term borrowings. 34 36 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) The weighted average interest rates of U.S. dollar borrowings under the credit agreement and the uncommitted money market lines of credit were 4.0% and 4.3% during 1993 and 1992, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of U.S. dollar borrowings under the credit agreement and the uncommitted money market lines of credit was 4.1% at October 31, 1992. There were no variable rate U.S. dollar borrowings under the credit agreement or the uncommitted money market lines of credit during 1994 nor were there any such borrowings outstanding at October 29, 1994 or October 30, 1993. The weighted average interest rates of foreign currency borrowings under foreign lines of credit were 8.7%, 10.9% and 12.4% during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The weighted average interest rates of foreign currency borrowings were 7.4%, 11.8% and 11.7% at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992, respectively. There were $2.9 million of foreign currency borrowings outstanding at October 29, 1994, which were at prevailing money market rates for the respective currencies. Borrowings under the Company's credit agreement and lines of credit are generally due within six months. In 1992, however, a portion of these borrowings were classified as long-term debt based on the Company's intention to refinance a portion of these borrowings on a long-term basis and the ability to refinance these borrowings under the credit agreement. Long-term debt, including current maturities, at October 29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and October 31, 1992 consisted of the following:
1994 1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 5/8% Notes due 2000 $ 80,000 $ 80,000 $ - 7.18% term loan 20,000 20,000 20,000 Revolving credit agreement and other lines of credit: U.S. dollars - - 30,000 4.73% term loan - - 20,000 Other - - 194 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 100,000 100,000 70,194 Less current portion of long term debt 20,000 - 194 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long term debt $ 80,000 $100,000 $70,000 ======================================================================================================
Aggregate principal payments on long-term debt and short-term borrowings for the following fiscal years are: 1995-$22.9 million; 2000-$80.0 million. 35 37 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 5. LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under various operating and capital leases which expire at various dates through 2010. The lease agreements frequently include renewal and purchase provisions and require the Company to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Total rental expense under operating leases was $9,985,000, $8,853,000 and $9,268,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under capital leases and rental payments required under long-term operating leases at October 29, 1994:

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Texas Instruments, Incorporated (TI) claiming damages for the Company's alleged infringement of certain patents related to plastic encapsulation of semiconductor devices. The lawsuit relates to sales of plastic encapsulated products sold between February 1989 and August 1994 when the patents expired. In January 1994, the International Trade Commission (ITC) brought an enforcement proceeding against the Company alleging that the Company had violated the terms of the Commission's February 1992 cease and desist order (as modified in July 1993) relating to the importation of plastic encapsulated products into the United States from the Company's foreign subsidiaries. If the Company is found to be in violation of the orders, it may be subject to substantial penalties. The Company has denied the essential allegations in the complaints and believes that it has meritorious defenses in each of these actions which it intends to vigorously pursue. The Company also has a lawsuit pending against TI in which the Company alleges that TI infringed one of its patents relating to digital signal processing products, and TI has filed counterclaims. 36 38 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim") seeking an injunction against, and claiming damages for, alleged antitrust violations and unfair competition in connection with distribution arrangements between the Company and certain distributors. Maxim alleged that certain distributors ceased doing business with Maxim as a result of the distribution arrangements between the distributors and the Company, resulting in an improper restriction to Maxim's access to channels by which it distributes its products. Maxim asserted actual and consequential damages in the amount of $14.1 million and unspecified claims for restitution and punitive damages. Under applicable law, Maxim would receive three times the amount of any actual damages suffered as a result of any antitrust violation. On September 7, 1994, Maxim's claim was dismissed for lack of evidence. Maxim has appealed this ruling and briefing of the appeal is scheduled to be concluded by March 7, 1995. Although the Company believes it should prevail in the matters described in the previous two paragraphs, the Company is unable to determine their ultimate outcome or estimate the ultimate amount of liability, if any, at this time. An adverse resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or on its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the matters are resolved. From time to time as a normal incidence of the nature of the Company's business, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced against the Company arising from or related to contractual relations, personal injury, environmental matters and product liability. The Company has also received and made inquiries with regard to other possible patent infringement claims. These inquiries have been referred to counsel and are in various stages of discussion. If any infringements are determined to exist, the Company may seek or extend licenses or settlements. While the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matters referred to in this paragraph, at this time management believes that the likelihood of an outcome resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, trends in results of operations or cash flows is remote. The Company's wholly owned manufacturing facility in the Republic of Ireland has received operating and capital grants. A liability to repay up to $19.2 million of the grants received by the Company would arise in the unlikely event the Company should liquidate its Irish operation prior to the commitment periods noted in the grant agreements which expire at various dates through 1999. Under the terms of the lease agreement related to the Company's headquarters facility in Norwood, Massachusetts, the Company has agreed to assume the note related to the property in the case of default by the lessor. Assumption of the note, which was $10.5 million at October 29, 1994, would entitle the Company to a first lien on the property. In addition, the Company may be subject to an incremental rent payment if the Company were to either default on the lease or not exercise its option to extend the lease at the end of the current fifteen-year term. This payment would be the present value of the balance of the lessor's debt related to the property in excess of $6.5 million at the end of the current lease term. As of October 29, 1994, the Company's unrecorded financial risk of loss under this agreement was $1.5 million in the unlikely event of default. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK In December 1994, the Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the Company's Articles of Organization to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 subject to stockholder approval in March 1995. STOCK PLANS The 1988 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of nonstatutory and incentive stock options to purchase up to 10,350,000 shares of common stock. Under this plan, options may be granted to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company's 1980 Stock Option Plan was terminated upon adoption of the 1988 Stock Option Plan; however, options to purchase common stock remain outstanding under this plan. 37 39 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Under the 1992 Director Option Plan, each nonemployee director receives nonstatutory options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock may be issued under this plan. In December 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the 1994 Director Option Plan under which each nonemployee director will receive options to purchase 5,250 shares of common stock annually at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. These options vest ratably over a three-year period. A total of 200,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the plan which is subject to stockholder approval in March 1995. Upon adoption of the 1994 Director Option Plan by the stockholders, no additional options will be granted under the 1992 Director Option Plan. While the Company may grant options to employees which become exercisable at different times or within different periods, the Company has generally granted options which are exercisable in annual installments of 33.3% each during the third, fourth and fifth years after the date of grant. Transactions under the Company's stock option plans are summarized in the table below:

The remaining options cancelled in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were issued from the 1980 Stock Option Plan which has been terminated.
The Company has a stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the fair market value at specified dates. Employees purchased 523,800 shares in 1994 (754,500 and 513,500 in 1993 and 1992, respectively) for $6.0 million ($4.2 million and $2.8 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively). At October 29, 1994, 1,422,000 common shares remained available for issuance under the plan. 38 40 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Under the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan, a maximum of 1,050,000 shares of common stock may be awarded by the Company to key employees for nominal consideration. This plan succeeded the Company's 1978 Restricted Stock Plan which provided for the issuance of up to 3,686,400 shares of common stock. Shares awarded from both plans are restricted as to transfer, usually for a period of five years and, under certain conditions, may be subject to repurchase by the Company at the original purchase price per share. Shares awarded under the Company's restricted stock plans, net of cancellations, for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were 243,000, 21,000 and 231,000, respectively. The fair market value of the shares at the date of award was accounted for as deferred compensation and is being amortized over the restricted period. During 1994, 1993 and 1992, $1,851,000, $1,716,000 and $1,887,000, respectively, of such compensation was charged to expense. At October 29, 1994, there were 275,250 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan. WARRANTS In 1990, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $8 per share, subject to certain adjustments, anytime prior to the expiration of the warrants on August 7, 1997. At October 29, 1994, all of the warrants were outstanding. As of October 29, 1994, a total of 13,365,000 common shares were reserved for issuance under the company's stock plans and warrant agreement. PREFERRED STOCK The Company has 500,000 authorized shares of $1.00 par value Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations on the preferred stock at the time of issuance. The Company had previously authorized 35,000 shares of such Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 28,066 shares were sold in prior years. As of June 14, 1990, all of these shares had been fully converted to common stock. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS In 1988, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan which provides for a dividend distribution of one common stock purchase right for each share of common stock outstanding on February 12, 1988. Under certain circumstances, each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $40 per share. The rights are not exercisable and cannot be transferred separately from the common stock until ten days after a person acquires 20% or more or makes a tender offer for 30% or more of the Company's common stock. If, after the rights become exercisable, (i) any person becomes the owner of 20% or more of the Company's common stock, or (ii) the Company is the surviving entity in a merger with a 20% or more stockholder, or (iii) a 20% or more stockholder engages in certain "self-dealing" transactions with the Company, each right not owned by such person will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's exercise price, common stock having a value of two times the exercise price of the right. In addition, if the Company is either (i) acquired in a merger or other business combination in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or (ii) sells or transfers 50% or more of its assets or earning power to another party, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring Company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. The rights expire on February 12, 1998 but may be redeemed by the Company for $.0133 per right at any time prior to the tenth day following a person's acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's common stock. So long as the rights are not separately transferable, the Company will issue one right with each new share of common stock issued. 39 41 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 8. RETIREMENT PLANS The Company and its subsidiaries have various savings and retirement plans covering substantially all employees. The Company maintains defined contribution plans for the benefit of its eligible United States employees. These plans provide for Company contributions of up to 5% of each participant's total eligible compensation. In addition, the Company contributes an amount equal to each participant's contribution, if any, up to a maximum of 2% of each participant's total eligible compensation. The Company also has various defined benefit pension and other retirement plans for certain foreign employees that are consistent with local statutes and practices. The total expense related to all of the Company's retirement plans in 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $12.6 million, $11.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which primarily consists of costs related to domestic defined contribution plans. Also included in total expense is pension expense related to foreign defined benefit plans of $2.5 million for 1994, $3.0 million for 1993 and $2.8 million for 1992. Summary data related to these foreign plans at October 29, 1994 is as follows: accumulated benefit obligation, substantially vested, of $18.4 million; projected benefit obligation of $31.0 million; plan assets at fair value of $28.5 million; discount rates ranging from 5.5% to 15%; compensation increase rates ranging from 4.5% to 12% and expected rate of return on assets ranging from 5% to 15%. In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112), which will become effective during fiscal year 1995. FAS 112 requires that postemployment benefits, primarily salary continuation and insurance continuation, be accrued for at the time the benefit is earned by the employee. Adoption of FAS 112 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 9.

The Company's practice is to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of certain international subsidiaries. Applicable U.S. Federal and state income taxes, net of related foreign tax credits, are provided only on amounts planned to be remitted. Accordingly, no U.S. Federal and state income taxes have been provided for approximately $221,893,000 of unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries. 42 44 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and that, prior to any such declaration, such holders may waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and any Security which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities. Upon a Change in Control, as defined in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to repurchase all or part of the Securities at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or impair or affect the rights of any Securityholder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Securities then outstanding. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation -3- 10 of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the place, times, and rate, and in the currency, herein prescribed.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee as provided in the Indenture. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Issuer, the Trustee, and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Issuer or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. -4- 11 [FORM OF TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION] This is one of the Securities described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication -11- 18 substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

SECTION 2.4 FORM, DENOMINATION AND DATE OF SECURITIES; PAYMENTS OF INTEREST. The Securities and the Trustee's certificates of authentication shall be substantially in the form recited above. The Securities shall be issuable as registered securities without coupons and in denominations provided for in the form of Security above recited. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plans as the officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee. The Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Any of the Securities may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Securities are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest from the applicable date and shall be payable on the dates specified on the face of the form of Security recited above. The person in whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Securities -12- 19 are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five business days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the holders of Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. The term "record date" as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month and shall mean, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a business day. SECTION 2.5 REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Issuer will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2 a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Securities as in this Article provided. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.9, upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security at each such office or agency, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. Subject to Section 2.9, any Security or Securities may be exchanged for a Security or Securities in other authorized denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount. Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. -13- 20 The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction. All securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. SECTION 2.6 MUTILATED, DEFACED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature, shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to a the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless from all risks, however remote, and, in every case of apparent destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. -14- 21 Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.7 CANCELLATION OF SECURITIES; DESTRUCTION THEREOF. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities held by it and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.8 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer -15- 22 shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities and thereupon temporary Securities may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for the purpose pursuant to Section 3.2, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. SECTION 2.9. SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN GLOBAL FORM. (a) If the Company shall establish that the Securities may be issued in global form, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Article Two and the Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities to be issued hereunder, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository's instructions, (iv) shall be substantially in the form of the form of Security specified pursuant to Section 2.4, with such changes therein as may be necessary to reflect that such Security is a Global Security, and (v) each of which shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository, or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and any payment is made to the Depository or its nominee, ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof has an interest herein." (b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.9 or of Section 2.5, unless and until a Global Security is exchanged for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole, but not in part, and in the manner provided in Section 2.5, only by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee to a successor Depository selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Depository or in the manner specified in Section 2.9(c). -16- 23 (c) If at any time the Depository for any Securities represented by one or more Global Securities notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository of such Securities or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be eligible as provided in the definition of the term "Depository" in Article One and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.9 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities then outstanding in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. In addition, the Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities shall no longer be represented by Global Securities and that the provisions of this Section 2.9 shall no longer apply to the Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order evidencing such determination by the Issuer, will authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive form without coupons, in authorized denominations in exchange for and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities then Outstanding. Upon the exchange of the Securities for such Securities in definitive form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Global Security or Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive form issued in exchange for the Global Security or Securities pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) shall be registered in such names, and in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the persons in whose name such Securities are so registered. (d) As long as the Securities Outstanding are represented by one or more Global Securities, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, such Global Securities to the Holder thereof or a single nominee of the Holder, or, at the option of the Issuer, to such other persons as the Holder thereof may designate on the date such payments are due. -17- 24 COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE -------------------------- SECTION 3.1 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Securities. Each instalment of interest on the Securities may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the holders of Securities entitled thereto as they shall appear on the registry books of the Issuer.

So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and in any other city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee may be located, the following: (a) an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for payment, (b) an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and (c) an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities or of this Indenture may be served.

Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities (whether such sums have been paid to it by the -18- 25 Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities or of the Trustee, (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities when the same shall be due and payable, and (c) pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee's written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in clause (b) above. The Issuer will, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section are subject to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4.

If and so long as the Trustee shall not be the Security registrar, the Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of the Securities pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (a) semi-annually not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of semi-annual interest on the Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished. SECTION 3.7 REPORTS BY THE ISSUER. The Issuer covenants to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports which the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement, the lien shall not apply to any assets theretofore owned by the Issuer or a Subsidiary, other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any real property on which the property so constructed, or the improvement, is located; (c) liens on any assets to secure indebtedness of a Subsidiary to the Issuer or to another Subsidiary; (d) liens on any assets of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Issuer or a Subsidiary or at the time of a purchase, lease or other acquisition of the assets of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety by the Issuer or a Subsidiary; (e) liens on any assets of the Issuer or a Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price (or, in the case of real property, the cost of construction), of the assets subject to such liens (including, but not limited to, liens incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial revenue or similar financings); (f) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (e), inclusive; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of -21- 28 such extension, renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or part of the assets which secured the lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such real property); (g) liens imposed by law, such as mechanics', work- men's, repairmen's, materialmen's, carriers', warehousemen's, vendors' or other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business, or governmental (federal, state or municipal) liens arising out of contracts for the sale of products or services by the Issuer or any Subsidiary, or deposits or pledges to obtain the release of any of the foregoing liens;

SECTION 3.11 CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) If at any time (i) any person or any persons acting together which would constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a "Group") shall -23- 30 beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Issuer or (ii) during any period of 12 consecutive calendar months, individuals who at the beginning of such period were directors of the Issuer shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (other than as a result of the death of one or more such individuals) (each such occurrence, a "Change in Control"), each Securityholder shall have the right, at such Securityholder's option, to require that the Issuer repurchase all or any portion of such Securityholder's Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.11. (b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Change in Control, the Issuer shall mail a notice (the "Change in Control Notice") to the Trustee and each Holder stating: (1) that a Change in Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any portion of such Holder's Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase; (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change in Control (including but not limited to information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to such Change in Control); (3) the purchase date (which shall be a date at least 30 days but not more than 60 days after the date on which the Change in Control Notice is mailed by the Issuer); (4) that, to be effective, any Holder's election to have Securities purchased must be received by the paying agent (if any, or the Trustee if no paying agent has been appointed), by first class mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, postage prepaid, at its address specified in the Change in Control Notice on or prior to the date (which shall be specified in such Change in Control Notice from the Issuer to the Holders) that is 10 days prior to the purchase date; (5) that, for any Security to be purchased, the Issuer must receive at the office of the paying agent (if any, or the Trustee if no paying agent has been appointed) -24- 31 not later than three Business Days prior to the purchase date, such Security, with the form thereon entitled "Option to Elect Repurchase" duly executed and completed; (6) that any Security not tendered or not accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; (7) that any Security accepted for payment shall cease to accrue interest after the purchase date; (8) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the paying agent (if any, or the Trustee if no paying agent has been appointed) receives, not later than three Business Days prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered or is expected to deliver for redemption and a statement that Holder is withdrawing his election to have Securities purchased. At the Issuer's request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Issuer's name and at the Issuer's expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the date upon which notice must be mailed to Holders (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer's Certificate setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.11. No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notice shall limit any Securityholder's right to exercise a purchase right. (c) In the event a purchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the price payable with respect to the Securities as to which the purchase right had been exercised in cash to the Securityholder. In the event that a purchase right is exercised with respect to less than the entire principal amount of a surrendered Security, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate for issuance in the name of the Securityholder a Security or Securities in the aggregate principal amount of the unpurchased portion of such surrendered Security. -25- 32 ARTICLE FOUR REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT ------------------- SECTION 4.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT DEFINED; ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; WAIVER OF DEFAULT.

This provision, however, is subject to the condition that (i) if, at any time after the principal of the Securities shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities and the principal of any and all Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities, to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and (ii) if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein -- then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.4 SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. SECTION 4.5 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS ON ABANDONMENT OF PROCEEDINGS. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 4.6 LIMITATIONS ON SUITS BY SECURITYHOLDERS. No holder of any Security shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless -31- 38 such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.8; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. SECTION 4.7 POWERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER OF DEFAULT. Except as provided in Section 2.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 4.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. -32- 39 SECTION 4.8 CONTROL BY SECURITYHOLDERS. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture; PROVIDED that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and PROVIDED FURTHER that (subject to the provisions of Section 5.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly prejudicial to the interests of holders of the Securities not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 5.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such holders. Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by Securityholders. SECTION 4.9 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Subject to and without limiting Section 4.1, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Securities or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or -33- 40 other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. ARTICLE FIVE CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE ---------------------- SECTION 5.1 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEE; DURING DEFAULT; PRIOR TO DEFAULT. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; -34- 41 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. This Section 5.1 is in furtherance of and subject to Sections 315 and 316 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 5.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE TRUSTEE. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and subject to Section 5.1: (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a Board Resolution; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, -35- 42 suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; PROVIDED that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. SECTION 5.3 TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS, DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES OR APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS THEREOF. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no -36- 43 responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. SECTION 5.4 TRUSTEE AND AGENTS MAY HOLD SECURITIES; COLLECTIONS, ETC. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. SECTION 5.5 MONEYS HELD BY TRUSTEE. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. SECTION 5.6 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE AND ITS PRIOR CLAIM. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premisses. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and -37- 44 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. SECTION 5.7 RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE, ETC. Subject to Section 5.1 and 5.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 5.8 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR APPOINTMENT AS TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000, and which is eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal, State or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. SECTION 5.9 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer and by mailing notice thereof by first-class mail to holders of Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or -38- 45 Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Securityholder; or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or, subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 6.1 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders. -39- 46 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 5.10. SECTION 5.10 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 5.9 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, neverthe- less, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor Trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 9.4, pay over to the successor Trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 5.10, the Issuer shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail to the holders of Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 5.9. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer. SECTION 5.11 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS OF TRUSTEE. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder (provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of -40- 47 Section 5.8) without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the Certificate of the Trustee shall have; PROVIDED, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. ARTICLE SIX CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS. ------------------------------ SECTION 6.1 EVIDENCE OF ACTION TAKEN BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article. SECTION 6.2 PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF SECURITIES; RECORD DATE. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the registrar thereof. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of -41- 48 Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 6.1, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or resolicitation) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only holders of Securities of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or to withdraw such vote or consent. SECTION 6.3 HOLDERS TO BE TREATED AS OWNERS. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security. No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on behalf of such holder by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depository and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository as holder of any Security. SECTION 6.4 SECURITIES OWNED BY ISSUER DEEMED NOT OUTSTANDING. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Trustee knows are so -42- 49 owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. SECTION 6.5 RIGHT OF REVOCATION OF ACTION TAKEN. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 6.1, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities. ARTICLE SEVEN SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. SECTION 7.1 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. The Issuer, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time -43- 50 enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities any property or assets; (b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to Article Eight; (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; PROVIDED, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such a Event of Default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities to waive such an Event of Default; (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities; and (e) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Securities in coupon form (including Securities registered as to principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Securities with Securities issued hereunder in fully registered form, and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose. -44- 51 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 7.2. SECTION 7.2 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders and other documents, if any, required by Section 6.1 the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Security- holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any -45- 52 proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Issuer shall mail a notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders of Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Issuer, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture.

Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken at any such meeting. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities then outstanding. -46- 53 ARTICLE EIGHT CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE ----------------------------------------- SECTION 8.1 COVENANT NOT TO MERGE, CONSOLIDATE, SELL OR CONVEY PROPERTY EXCEPT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

SECTION 8.2 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and following such an assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it has been named herein. -47- 54 Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Issuer prior to such succession any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Issuer, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.

SECTION 9.3 REPAYMENT OF MONEYS HELD BY PAYING AGENT. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Issuer be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. -49- 56 SECTION 9.4 RETURN OF MONEYS HELD BY TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT UNCLAIMED FOR THREE YEARS.

SECTION 10.2 PROVISIONS OF INDENTURE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF PARTIES AND SECURITYHOLDERS. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the holders of the Securities.

In any case where notice to holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer and Securityholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. SECTION 10.5 OFFICERS' CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS OF COUNSEL; STATEMENTS TO BE CONTAINED THEREIN.

Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with. Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters or information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations -52- 59 with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent. SECTION 10.6 PAYMENTS DUE ON SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. If the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Securities or the date fixed for redemption of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date. SECTION 10.7 CONFLICT OF ANY PROVISION OF INDENTURE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision included in this Indenture by operation of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (an "incorporated provision"), such incorporated provision shall control. SECTION 10.8 MASSACHUSETTS LAW TO GOVERN.

                              ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

                                   BONUS PLAN

1.   Purpose
     -------

        The purpose of the Bonus Plan ("Plan") of Analog Devices, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") is to encourage employees to work together toward
the Company-wide goal of improved financial performance and to reward employees
if the Company achieves its targeted improvement in Company performance.



2.   Participants
     ------------

        Employees eligible to participate in the Plan are officers and
full-time U.S. employees of the Company, except for the following who are
excluded as participants:  employees already covered under Company field sales,
field applications engineering or other incentive programs; individuals who
terminate their employment prior to the end of the bonus period; employees who
receive a "needs improvement" performance rating during the bonus period;
employees who receive a written warning during the bonus period; co-op students
and interns; and temporary employees.



3.   Administration
     --------------

        (a)  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors, subject however to the approval by the Board of
Directors of the applicable goals and
   2


performance objectives, payment factors and other matters referred to in
Section 4.

        (b)  The Compensation Committee may establish such rules and
regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as it deems
necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, and may amend or revoke
any rule or regulation so established.  The Committee may make such
determinations and interpretations under or in connection with the Plan as it
deems necessary or advisable. All such rules, regulations, determinations and
interpretations shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company, its
subsidiaries, and all employees, and upon their respective legal
representatives, beneficiaries, successors and assigns and upon all other
persons claiming under or through any of them.


4.   Determination of Bonus Award
     ----------------------------

        (a)  Participants in the Plan will be entitled to bonus payments based
on the Company's attainment of a targeted Operating Profit Before Taxes
("OPBT") for the applicable year, or other performance measures determined by
the Board of Directors after consultation with the Compensation Committee.

        (b)  For purposes of the Plan, OPBT for any fiscal year shall mean the
amount reported as operating profit before taxes in the Company's financial
statements as adjusted for any one-time nonrecurring charges such as
restructuring expenses.





                                      -2-
   3




        (c)  Each employee of the Company shall be assigned a Bonus Target
which shall, in the case of all employees, except corporate officers, be based
on the employee's job grade which is in effect at the end of the bonus period. 
The Bonus Target is expressed as a percentage of the employee's regular
earnings paid during the applicable fiscal year.  Bonus Targets for corporate
officers shall be fixed by the Compensation Committee, subject to approval by
the Board of Directors.  For purposes of the Plan, regular earnings include the
following pay categories:  base pay, shift differential, sick pay, vacation
pay, holiday pay, bereavement pay, jury duty pay and alternative work schedule;
and exclude overtime pay, bonus payments received from a previous period, and
other payments which are taxable but not considered regular earnings.

        (d)  Within the first 90 days of each fiscal year, the Compensation
Committee, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, shall designate
the OPBT target (hereinafter "OPBT Target") for such year (generally based on
the Company's Benchmark Plan for the year) and the manner in which the Bonus
Factor shall be applied to attainment of the OPBT Target.  The Bonus Factor is
expressed as a multiple (e.g., 1.2x) of the Bonus Target.  If the OPBT Target
is attained, each participant will be paid a bonus equal to the amount derived
by multiplying the participant's regular earnings for the bonus period by the
participant's Bonus Target, and then multiplying the product by his/her Bonus
Factor.



                                      -3-
   4





If the Company's OPBT for a particular year either exceeds or is less than the
OPBT Target for such year, the Bonus Factor will be increased or decreased, as
the case may be, based on a formula determined by the Compensation Committee. 
The Compensation Committee will establish for each fiscal year a maximum Bonus  
Factor, provided that in no event may the Bonus Factor exceed 2.0x.

        (e)  Bonus awards may be calculated and paid quarterly, semi-annually
or annually, as determined by the Compensation Committee.


5.   General
     -------

        (a)  No participant shall be entitled to a bonus award for any
particular bonus period if he/she is not employed by the Company at the end of
such bonus period, provided, however, that this provision may be waived by the
Company.

        (b)  No employee nor his or her spouse or other designee shall have any
right to commute, sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise convey any
interest he/she may have under the Plan.

        (c)  Benefits payable under the Plan shall be independent and separate
of and in addition to any employment agreement that may exist from time to time
between a participant and the Company. The Plan shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract of employment between a participant and the Company, nor
shall any provision hereof restrict the right of the Company to discharge



                                      -4-
   5



any participant or restrict the right of any participant to terminate
his/her employment.

        (d)  The Company may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate
for the withholding of any taxes which the Company determines it is required to
withhold in connection with any bonus payment.

        (e)  The rights of any participant under the Plan shall be solely those
of an unsecured creditor of the Company.

        (f)  The invalidity or illegality of any provision of the Plan shall
not impair or affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
the Plan, and such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with their terms.



6.   Amendment and Termination
     -------------------------

        There is no obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Plan
after the end of a particular bonus period, as determined by the Compensation
Committee.  However, the Company may continue the Plan for any subsequent
fiscal or bonus periods by appropriate action of the Board of Directors.  The
Board of Directors of the Company may amend the Plan, provided, however, that
no such amendment may reduce any amounts which have theretofore been earned and
credited to a participant under the Plan, without such participant's consent.

and successive anniversaries thereof. The Anniversary Dates of an eligible
director who is first elected or appointed to the Board of Directors after
December 7, 1994 shall be the date which is twelve (12) months after such
election or appointment and the successive anniversaries thereof.

        (b)  OPTION EXERCISE PRICE.  The option exercise price per share for
each option granted under the Plan shall equal (i) the last reported sales
price per share of the Company's Common Stock, as listed on a nationally
recognized securities exchange, on the date of grant (or, if no such price is

        (c)  OPTIONS NON-TRANSFERABLE.  Each option granted under the Plan by
its terms shall not be transferable by the optionee other- wise than by will,
or by the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order (as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code), and shall be
exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by him.  No option or
interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
optionee during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be
made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

        (d)  EXERCISE PERIOD.  Each option shall vest and be exercisable on a
cumulative basis as to one-third of the shares subject to such option on each
of the first, second and third Anniversary Dates of the grant of such option,
PROVIDED that, subject to the provisions of Sections 5(e) and 5(f), no option
may be exercised more than 90 days after the optionee ceases to serve as a
director of the Company and such option may then only be exercised for the
purchase of such number of shares as were vested and exercisable at the time of
such termination.  No option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date of grant or prior to approval of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Company.

        (e)  EXERCISE PERIOD UPON RETIREMENT.  Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 5(d), in the event an optionee ceases to be a director by reason of
retirement of the optionee as a director at the retirement age determined by
the Company or by reason of the Company's failure to nominate the optionee for
reelection as a director (other than for such director's refusal to serve as a
director), each option then held by such director shall, at the time he or she
ceases to be a director, be exercisable for that number of shares of Common
Stock which equals the sum of (i) the shares which are then vested and
exercisable and (ii) the shares which would otherwise become vested and
exercisable at the next succeeding Anniversary Date.

        (f)  EXERCISE PERIOD UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5(d), any option granted under the Plan:

          (i) may be exercised in full by an optionee who becomes
     disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code
     or any successor provision thereto) while serving as a
     director of the Company; or

         (ii) may be exercised

                   (x) in full upon the death of an
          optionee while serving as a director of the
          Company, or




                                     - 3 -
   4


                   (y) to the extent then exercisable
          upon the death of an optionee within 90 days
          of ceasing to serve as a director of the
          Company,

      by the person to whom it is transferred by will, by the laws of descent   
      and distribution, or by written notice filed pursuant to Section 5(i);

in each such case within the period of one year after the date the optionee
ceases to be such a director by reason of such death or disability; provided,
that no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from
the date of grant or prior to the approval of the Plan by the stockholders of
the Company.

        (g)  EXERCISE PROCEDURE.  Options may be exercised only by written
notice to the Company at its principal office accompanied by payment of the
full consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised.

        (h)  PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.  Options granted under the Plan may
provide for the payment of the exercise price (i) by delivery of cash or a
check to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price of
such options or, (ii) to the extent provided in the applicable option
agreement, by delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock of the Company
already owned by the optionee having a fair market value equal in amount to the
exercise price of the options being exercised, or (iii) by any combination of
such methods of payment.  The fair market value of any shares of the Company's
Common Stock which may be delivered upon exercise of an option shall be
determined by the Board of Directors.

        (i)  EXERCISE BY REPRESENTATIVE FOLLOWING DEATH OF DIRECTOR. A
director, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons
(and from time to time change such designation) including his legal
representative, who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to
exercise all or a portion of the op- tion.  If the person or persons so
designated wish to exercise any portion of the option, they must do so within
the term of the option as provided herein.  Any exercise by a representative
shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan.

6.   ASSIGNMENTS

        The rights and benefits under the Plan may not be assigned except for
the designation of a beneficiary as provided in Section 5.

7.   TIME FOR GRANTING OPTIONS

        All options for shares subject to the Plan shall be granted, if at all,
not later than ten (10) years after the approval of the Plan by the Company's
stockholders.

8.   LIMITATION OF RIGHTS

        (a)  NO RIGHT TO CONTINUE AS A DIRECTOR.  Neither the Plan, nor the
granting of an option nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall
constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or
implied, that the Company will retain a director for any period of time.

        (b)  NO STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS FOR OPTIONS.  An optionee shall have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by his options until
the date of the issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor, and no
adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date
is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

9.   CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK

        (a)  If (x) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or (y)
the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased as a result
of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend or stock split
(except for the 3-for-2 stock split approved by the Board of Directors on
November 29, 1994, which has been reflected in the Plan as adopted by the Board
of Directors on December 7, 1994), reverse stock split or other similar
transaction, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i)
the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and
(ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to then
outstanding options under the Plan and (iii) the price for each share subject
to any then outstanding options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate
purchase price as to which such options remain exercisable.  No fractional
shares will be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this
Section 9 if such adjustment would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Rule
16b-3 or any successor rule promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

        (b)  If any event occurs that would constitute a "Change of Control"
within the meaning of clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 10 below, the Board of
Directors of the Company, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming
the obligations of the Company, shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10,
as to outstanding options, take one or more of the following actions: (i)
provide that such options shall be assumed, or equivalent


                                     - 5 -
   6





options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an
affiliate thereof), (ii) upon written notice to the optionees, provide that all
unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such transaction unless exercised by the optionee within a specified period
following the date of such notice, or (iii) if, under the terms of a merger
transaction, holders of the Common Stock of the Company will receive upon
consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger
(the "Merger Price"), make or provide for a cash payment to the optionees equal
to the difference between (A) the Merger Price times the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to such outstanding options (to the extent then
exercisable at prices not in excess of the Merger Price) and (B) the aggregate
exercise price of all such outstanding options in exchange for the termination
of such options.

10.  CHANGE IN CONTROL

        Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Plan, in
the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), all options outstanding as
of the date such Change in Control occurs shall become exercisable in full,
whether or not exercisable in accordance with their terms.  A "Change in
Control" shall occur or be deemed to have occurred only if any of the following
events occur:  (i) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (other than the
Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company, or any corporation owned directly or indirectly by
the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportion as their
ownership of stock of the Company) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; (ii)
individuals who, as of July 1, 1992, constitute the Board of Directors of the
Company (as of the date thereof, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming
a director subsequent to the date thereof whose election, or nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an
election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is
in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
election of the directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11
of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall be, for
purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of
the Incumbent Board; (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a
merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either
by remaining outstanding


                                     - 6 -
   7





or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than
50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no "person"
(as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 30% of the combined voting power of
the Company's then outstanding securities; or (iv) the stockholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets."

11.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

        The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue the Plan or review or
amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that without approval of
the stockholders of the Company no revision or amendment shall change the
number of shares subject to the Plan (except as provided in Section 9), change
the designation of the class of directors eligible to receive options, or
materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan.  The
Plan may not be amended more than once in any six- month period.

12.  WITHHOLDING

        The Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind
otherwise due to the optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares issued upon exercise
of options under the Plan.

13.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN

        (a)  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The Plan shall become effective when adopted by
the Board of Directors, but no option granted under the Plan shall become
exercisable unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the Company's
shareholders.  If such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve
months after the date of the Board's adoption of the Plan, all options granted
under the Plan shall terminate and no further options shall be granted under
the Plan.  Amendments to the Plan not requiring shareholder approval shall
become effective when adopted by the Board of Directors; amendments requiring
shareholder approval (as provided in Section 11) shall become effective when
adopted by the Board of Directors, but no option granted after the date of such
amendment shall become exercisable (to the extent that such amendment to the
Plan was required to enable the Company to grant such option to a particular
optionee) unless and until such amendment shall have been approved by the
Company's shareholders.  If such shareholder approval is not obtained within
twelve months of the Board's adoption of such amendment, any options granted on
or after the date of such amendment shall terminate to the extent that such
amendment to the Plan was required to enable the Company to grant


                                     - 7 -
   8





such option to a particular optionee.  Subject to this limitation, options may
be granted under the Plan at any time after the effective date and before the
date fixed for termination of the Plan.

        (b)  TERMINATION.  Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section
9, the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the close of business on
the day next preceding the fifth anniversary of the date of its approval by the
Company's stockholders, or (ii) the date on which all shares available for
issuance under the Plan shall have been issued pursuant to the exercise or
cancellation of options granted under the Plan.  If the date of termination is
determined under (i) above, then options outstanding on such date shall
continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the
instruments evidencing such options.

14.  NOTICE

        Any written notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of
the Plan shall be addressed to the Treasurer of the Company and shall become
effective when it is received.

15.  COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 16B-3

        Transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  To the extent any provision of the Plan
or action by the Board of Directors in administering the Plan fails to so
comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and
deemed advisable by the Board of Directors.

16.  GOVERNING LAW

        The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto
shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.


                         Approved by the Board of Directors

including labor charges at no expense to Tenant due to faulty

to the first anniversary of the Commencement Date.

COMMENCEMENT DATE
- -----------------

     d.   The term of the lease shall be deemed to commence upon
delivery to Tenant of possession as above provided.  During the
period of time between the delivery by Landlord to Tenant of
possession of the demised premises and the time hereinbefore
provided for the commencement of rent accrual, all the provisions
of this lease except the provisions relating to the payment of
rent and real estate taxes and assessments shall apply to the
extent that said provisions may be made applicable to said period.
Until such time as Landlord shall deliver possession of the
demised premises to Tenant, Landlord shall pay the cost of water,
electricity, heat, air-conditioning, and other utilities used upon
the demised premises; and until such time Tenant shall have the
right to use, to the extent that the same are available, water,
electricity, heat, air-conditioning and other utilities available
upon the demised premises without charge.  Prior to the delivery
to Tenant of possession of the demised premises and while Tenant
may be making improvements to the demised premises or installing
in the demised premises fixtures, supplies, merchandise, and other
property, as hereinabove provided, Tenant and its installations




                                      -7-
   8





shall be in the demised premises at its own risk, subject to the
insurance provisions set forth in Article 4.B. hereof.

FIRE INSURANCE
- --------------

     5A.  Tenant agrees that it will at its expense maintain throughout the
term of this lease with respect to the demised premises insurance against loss
or damage by (1) fire and the so-called extended coverage causalties in an
amount not less than eighty per cent (80%) of the full insurable value of the
demised buildings or up to the full insurable value of the buildings or
buildings if required by the holder of a first mortgage in accordance with
general practice of holders of first mortgages in the Boston area in case of
similar loans and only if such holder would suffer a loss arising out of the
carrying of 80% of the full insurance value coverage and (2) sprinkler leakage
in an amount not less than ten per cent (10%) of the full insurable value of
the demised buildings.  The policies of such insurance may contain a
co-insurance clause, in which event the amount of the insurance shall be
sufficient so that the insured will not be a co-insurer. Landlord and Tenant
shall be named as insureds, the insurance should be payable in case of loss to
the holders of any mortgages upon the demised premises as their interest may
appear, and the policies shall provide that the loss, if any, shall be adjusted
with Tenant.  Said insurance shall be written by responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in
amounts with each company satisfactory to 



                                     -8-
   9





the holder of a first mortgage upon the demised premises.  If at
any time Landlord shall question the insurance value of the
demised premises and request an appraisal, Tenant will have an
appraisal made by a mutually satisfactory appraiser, the expense
of the appraisal to be borne equally between Landlord and Tenant,
provided that Landlord may not question the insurable value of the
demised premises for a period of three (3) years after any such
appraisal establishing the same.  Tenant agrees that it will
deliver to Landlord the policies and certificates of such
insurance upon acceptance or possession of the demised premises by
Tenant and that it will deliver to Landlord at least thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of any policy, a renewal policy and a
certificate thereof.  If the terms of any such policies shall
expire subsequent to the termination of the term of this lease, a
proper apportionment of the premiums for such policies shall be
made.  Upon the termination of the term of this lease, Tenant
shall release its interest in such policies.

LIABILITY INSURANCE
- -------------------

     B.   Tenant will maintain with respect to the demised
premises throughout the term of this lease, a policy or policies
or comprehensive general public liability insurance, indemnifying
the Landlord and Tenant, in amounts of not less than Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($300,000) with respect to injuries to any one
person and not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
with respect to injuries suffered in any one accident, and against




                                      -9-
   10





all claims for damages to or loss of property occurring upon the
demised premises in the amount of at least Twenty-five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000), such policies of insurance to be issued by
insurance companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.  Tenant shall deliver such policies to Landlord
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of the term
of this lease, and each renewal policy at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the expiration of the policy it renews.  Tenant agrees
that such insurance will contain an endorsement that the same will
not be cancelled without ten (10) days' notice to Landlord, to the
extent that such endorsement is obtainable.  Tenant may maintain
such insurance under a blanket policy affecting the demised
premises and other premises of Tenant or any business organization
affiliated with Tenant.  In lieu of delivering any policy of
insurance to Landlord, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a
certificate of the company issuing such policy certifying such
independent insurance or certifying the existence of a blanket
policy showing the coverage.

FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
- ----------------------

     6A.  In the event that during the term hereof the demised
building shall be partially damaged or totally destroyed by fire,
other casualty, the elements, or any other cause whatsoever, this
lease shall not cease or determine, nor shall the rent herein
provided for to be paid be diminished or abated or cease, but such
rent herein provided for shall be paid by Tenant.  The building or




                                      -10-
   11





buildings so damaged or destroyed by fire, other casualty, the elements
or otherwise shall be repaired, re-erected or replaced by Tenant with all
reasonable diligence at the expense of Tenant to the condition existing prior
to such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article 6A, Tenant shall be obligated to repair, re-erect or replace the
building if such damage or destruction is caused by war, riot, revolution or
other civil disorder, or nuclear explosion only to the extent of the net
proceeds of insurance, if any, recovered arising out of such casualty and in
the event such net proceeds of insurance recovered are not sufficient to repair
re-erect or replace the buildings to the condition existing prior to such
damage or destruction, Tenant shall use such net proceeds to repair, re-erect
or replace the buildings to the extent of such proceeds and a just proportion
of the rent shall be abated based on the diminished value of the buildings
existing after such repair, re-erection or replacement, or in the event the
buildings are not so repaired, re-erected or replaced the rent shall be
suspended and this lease shall terminate.   All insurance proceeds recovered
with respect to Tenants leasehold improvement, including, without limitation,
structural improvements, and Tenant's personal property shall be paid to
Tenant.  If any insurance proceeds recovered on account of damage to the
buildings shall be less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), the same shall be
paid over to the Tenant.  If any insurance proceeds payable on 



                                     -11-
   12





account of such damage to the buildings are more than Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) such insurance proceeds shall be disbursed by the mortgagee
to the Tenant as the work of repair or restoration progresses upon certificates
of the architect or engineer supervising the repair or restoration that the
disbursements then requested plus all previous disbursements made from said
insurance proceeds do not exceed the cost of the repair or restoration already
completed, and that after the disbursement then requested shall be made, the
balance of said insurance proceeds shall be sufficient to pay the remaining
cost of complete repair or restoration.  The term "mortgagee" in the preceding
sentence shall mean any bank, insurance company, pension fund, or similar
institutional lender holding a first mortgage on the premises.  In the event
such holder is not a bank, insurance company, pension fund or similar
institutional lender, Tenant shall select a bank or trust company having its
principal place of business in Massachusetts to hold such proceeds, subject to
Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  If the insurance proceeds shall exceed the cost of complete repair
and restoration, any excess shall be paid to the Tenant upon the Landlord's
being furnished with a certificate reasonably satisfactory to it that at a time
not less than forty-three (43) days subsequent to completion of the repair or
restoration, the demised premises are free from liens on account of such repair
and construction, and that all bills for labor and 



                                     -12-
   13





materials in connection therewith have been paid.  The Tenant
agrees to proceed promptly with such work of restoration and
repair and to prosecute such work with due diligence.

DAMAGE BY FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY
- ---------------------------------

     B.   It is agreed and understood that (1) if during the
fourth semi-annual period preceding the expiration of the term of
this lease, the demised buildings shall be so damaged or destroyed
to the extent of twenty-five per cent (25%) or more of their
insurable value, or (2) if during the third semi-annual period
preceding the expiration of the term of this lease, the demised
buildings shall be so damaged or destroyed to the extent of twenty
per cent (20%) or more of their insurable value, or (3) if during
the second semi-annual period preceding the expiration of the term
of this lease, the demised buildings shall be so damaged or
destroyed to the extent of fifteen per cent (15%) or more of their
insurable value, or (4) if during the semi-annual period
immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this lease,
the demised buildings shall be so damaged or destroyed to the
extent of ten per cent (10%) or more of their insurable value,
either Landlord or Tenant may, if either shall so elect, terminate
the term of this lease by notice to the other within thirty (30)
days after such damage or destruction.  In the event of any
termination of the term of this lease pursuant to the provisions
of this article, the termination shall become effective on the
thirtieth day after the giving of the notice of termination, and a




                                      -13-
   14





just proportion of the minimum rent according to the nature and
extent of the injury to the demised premises, shall be suspended
or abated until the time of termination, rent shall be apportioned
as of the time of termination and proper adjustments shall be
made, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be obligated to repair
or restore any damage or destruction caused by the fire or other
casualty.  The Landlord in case of such termination shall be
entitled to all the avails of any policy or policies insuring the
hazard causing such damage or destruction.  If the Tenant, within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Landlord as
hereinbefore provided, shall give notice to the Landlord of
Tenant's intention to extend the term of this lease or to purchase
the premises in accordance with any option or right so to do which
it may have, (even though the time for the exercise of any option
to extend the lease may not have arrived) then this lease and the
options to extend and to purchase shall not terminate and end
although notice of termination may previously have been given by
Landlord to Tenant.  In case neither party shall serve such notice
of termination, or if Landlord's notice is nullified as above
provided, this lease shall not terminate and all of the provisions
of the preceding paragraph shall apply to and be binding upon the
parties hereto.

TENANT'S REPAIRS
- ----------------

     7A.  Tenant agrees that it will make all repairs and
alterations to the demised premises and buildings which Tenant is




                                      -14-
   15





required to maintain, as hereinafter set forth, which may be necessary
to maintain the same in as good repair and condition as the same are in at the
commencement of the term of this lease or may be put in thereafter, or which
may be required by any laws, ordinances or regulations of any public
authorities having jurisdiction, reasonable wear and tear, and damage by fire
or other casualty, act of God, the elements, the act of any public authority or
taking by right of eminent domain excepted, subject to the Tenant's obligation
to restore or repair as hereinbefore provided in Article 6A hereof.  Tenant
shall take all reasonable steps (including removal of snow and ice) to prevent
the liveload on the roof of the building from exceeding its design capacity of
a live load of forty (40) pounds per square foot.  

     Tenant agrees not to make structural alterations or improvements,
including new buildings, to or upon the demised premises without on each
occasion obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent
Landlord agrees not unreasonably to delay or withhold.  

     Landlord agrees that Tenant may at any time and from time to time make
nonstructural alterations, and improvements to or upon the demised premises
without prior notice to or approval by Landlord.  

REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
- -----------------------

     Tenant agrees that any repairs, alterations, other improvements or
installations made by it, structural or 



                                     -15-
   16





nonstructural shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and
in conformity with all laws, ordinances and regulations of all
public authorities having jurisdiction, that materials of good
quality shall be employed therein, that the demised premises shall
not be decreased in value thereby and that the building on the
demised premises will not be endangered or impaired thereby.  All
salvage in connection therewith may be disposed of by Tenant.

REMOVAL OF GOODS AT TIME OF TERMINATION
- ---------------------------------------

     Upon the expiration or other termination of the terms of this
lease, Tenant will remove its goods and effects and nonstructural
alterations, additions and improvements made by Tenant or paid for
by Tenant in any way other than as rent including, if tenant
elects to so remove, lighting fixtures, carpeting and any
specialized equipment and installations and those of all persons
claiming under it and will yield up peaceably to Landlord the
demised premises and all structural alterations or additions made
to or upon the same in as good repair and condition as the same
were at the commencement of the term of this lease or may have
been put in thereafter, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire
or other casualty, act of God, the elements, the act of any public
authority, or taking by right of eminent domain excepted.  It is
agreed and understood that Landlord will accept the demised
premises as altered pursuant to the provisions hereof without any





                                      -16-
   17





obligation upon Tenant to restore the same to their former
condition.

LANDLORD'S REPAIRS
- ------------------

     B.   It is further expressly agreed and understood that
Landlord shall not be obligated during the term of this lease to
make any repairs, alterations, or changes, structural or
otherwise, of any kind whatsoever, to the said demised premises
(land and demised building), except for such repairs as may be
necessitated by defects in design, workmanship or material as set
forth in Article 4C hereof.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the
preceding sentence, Landlord shall maintain the drainage ditch
serving the premises and all roads within the subdivision of which
the premises are a part and all utilities to the lot line of the
premises until such roads and such drainage ditch is permanently
accepted by the appropriate governmental authorities and until the
maintenance of such utilities is the responsibility of the utility
furnishing such service under a recorded easement requiring such
utility to permanently maintain such service.

PERMITS
- -------

     C.   Tenant agrees that it will procure all necessary
permits, before making any such repairs, alterations, other
improvements or installations.  Landlord agrees it will cooperate
with Tenant in obtaining such permits.





                                      -17-
   18





MECHANICS LIENS
- ---------------

     D.   Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost
of any work done by Tenant upon the demised premises so that the
demised premises shall at all times be free of liens for labor or
materials.

INDEMNITY
- ---------

     E.   Tenant agrees to save and indemnify Landlord from any
and all injury, loss, claims or damage to any person or property
occasioned by or arising out of the doing of such work.

EMINENT DOMAIN
- --------------

     8A.  If after the execution of this lease and prior to the
expiration of the term of this lease the whole of the demised
premises shall be taken by eminent domain, then the term of this
lease shall cease as of the time when Landlord shall be divested
of its interest in the demised premises, and minimum rent shall be
apportioned and adjusted as of the time of termination.

      B.  If by eminent domain

          (1)  part of the demised buildings shall be taken and if
as a result thereof the floor area within the demised buildings
shall be reduced by more than fifteen per cent (15%), or

          (2)  a part of the demised land shall be taken and if as
a result thereof Tenant shall no longer have free and
uninterrupted access for passage by foot and by vehicle from a
public street to each door and loading platform originally





                                      -18-
   19





installed by Landlord in the demised buildings situated as
advantageously as at the beginning of this lease, or 

     (3)  a part of the demised land shall be taken and if as a result
thereof the remaining land is not sufficient in area to provide as reasonable
parking facilities as immediately prior to such taking by employees and
business invitees of the demised buildings shall be taken, or 

     (4)  if any part of the drainage easement servicing the premises shall
be taken so that the drainage from the premises is no longer adequate to serve
the premises, or 

     (5)  any part of the demised buildings or demised premises shall be
taken during the last year of the term of this lease, then Tenant may, if it
shall so elect, terminate the term of this lease by giving notice of the
exercise of such election to Landlord within twenty (20) days after the receipt
from Landlord of notice of such taking.  If Tenant shall give notice of
termination pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (1) immediately above and
if within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice by Tenant, Landlord
shall give Tenant notice that (a) Landlord will add to what shall remain of the
demised buildings additional premises adjacent thereto so that what shall
remain plus said addition shall have a floor area not less than eighty-five per
cent (85%) of the demised buildings at the commencement of the term, and (b)
that Landlord will reconstruct the demised buildings so that the detailed
layout of the demised  



                                     -19-
   20





buildings as reconstructed will be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant with
respect to functional efficiency for both warehouse and office purposes based
upon the standard of functional efficiency immediately prior to the taking;
then such notice of termination by Tenant shall become void and of no force and
effect.  If Tenant shall give notice of termination pursuant to the provisions
of subdivision (2) immediately above and if within fifteen (15) days after the
giving of such notice by Tenant, Landlord shall give Tenant notice that
Landlord will restore free and uninterrupted access for passage by foot and by
vehicle from a public street to each door and loading platform originally
installed by Landlord in the demised buildings situated as advantageously as at
the beginning of this lease, then such notice of termination by Tenant shall
become void and of no force or effect.  If Tenant shall give such notice of
termination pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (3) immediately above,
and if within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice by Tenant,
Landlord shall give Tenant notice that Landlord will substitute for the taken
ground area used for parking (immediately prior to such taking) by employees
and business invitees of the demised building other ground area contiguous
to the remaining land included within the demised premises so that what shall
remain of said ground area used for parking plus such other ground area shall
be reasonably sufficient to furnish parking facilities for at least 400 cars,
subject to an appropriate abatement of rent for the loss of such spaces from
the original 494 spaces provided, 



                                     -20-
   21





then such notice of termination by Tenant shall become void and of
no force or effect.  If Tenant shall give such notice of
termination pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (4)
immediately above, and if within fifteen days after the giving of
such notice by Tenant, Landlord shall give Tenant notice that
Landlord will substitute for the taken drainage easement, another
drainage easement substantially similar to the easement taken,
then such notice of termination by Tenant shall become void and of
no force and effect.  Landlord shall provide any such
substitutions promptly and in no event later than six months from
the date of any such taking.  Until such substitution is provided,
an appropriate amount of the rent shall be abated depending on the
nature and duration of the loss of use of the premises suffered by
Tenant.

     In the event of a termination under the provisions of this
article, the termination shall be effective as of the time that
Tenant is deprived of possession of the premises so taken, and
minimum rent shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the time of
termination.  The amount charged by the taking authority or its
assigns for rent or use and occupation between the time of the
taking and the time of termination shall be deductible from rent
paid or payable hereunder.  If there shall be a taking by eminent
domain and if the term of this lease shall not be terminated as
aforesaid, then the term of this lease shall continue in full
force and effect, and Landlord shall, within a reasonable time




                                      -21-
   22





after possession is required for public use, restore what may
remain of the demised premises and construct such additions as
Landlord may have agreed to add, by notice as aforesaid, to
condition suitable for use, according to the standards of the
original construction set forth in Exhibit "A" and "C", and
including the restoration of facilities and services existing
prior to such taking.  A just proportion of the minimum rent
according to the nature and extent of the injury to the demised
premises shall be suspended or abated until what may remain of the
demised premises shall be so restored and such additions shall be
so constructed as aforesaid.  Thereafter a just proportion of the
minimum rent according to the nature and extent of the part so
taken shall be abated for the balance of the term of this lease,
and for the purpose hereof minimum rent shall be deemed allocable
one hundred per cent (100%) to the demised buildings, except,
however, if any of the ground area within the demised premises
used for parking shall be taken, then to the extent that the same
has not been replaced by Landlord by substituted ground area,
Tenant shall be allowed a reasonable abatement of minimum rent and
upon failure of the Landlord and Tenant to agree upon such
abatement, the same shall be determined by arbitration as
hereinafter provided.

     Landlord reserves and excepts all rights to damages to the
demised premises and the leasehold hereby created, then or
thereafter accruing, by reason of any taking by eminent domain or




                                      -22-
   23





by reason of anything lawfully done or required by any public
authority, and Tenant grants to Landlord all Tenant's rights, if
any, to such damages and shall execute and deliver to Landlord
such further instruments of assignment thereof as Landlord may
from time to time request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Landlord does not reserve or except and Tenant does not grant to
Landlord any rights of Tenant to any damages that may be payable
for trade fixtures, equipment, signs or similar property or
leasehold improvements installed by and belonging to Tenant or any
other damages, to the extent that any such damages are of a nature
such as the Tenant would be entitled to recover damages on its own
account if the lease were terminated by reason of the taking and
such lease contained no expressed provisions as to the rights of
the Landlord and Tenant.

FINANCING
- ---------

     9.   In the event the Landlord should desire to obtain a loan
on this lease from a savings bank in accordance with Section 38,
Paragraph 6, Chapter 168 of the General Laws, Tenant agrees that
it will execute an agreement in writing between the bank and the
Tenant which shall provide that, upon the written request by the
bank, the Tenant will make all payments of rent and other sums due
thereafter under the lease directly to such bank.

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
- ---------------------

     10A. Each of the Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the
other to the extent of its insurance coverage from any and all




                                      -23-
   24





liability for any loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended
coverage casualties, even if such fire or other casualty shall be brought about
by the fault or negligence of the other party, or any persons claiming under
it; provided, however, this release shall be in force and effect only with
respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as releasor's policies of
fire and extended coverage insurance shall contain a clause to the effect that
this release shall not affect said policies or the right of the release to
recover thereunder.  Each of the Landlord and Tenant agrees that its fire and
extended coverage insurance policies will include such a clause so long as the
same is obtainable and in includable without extra cost, or if such extra cost
is chargeable therefor, so long as the other party pays such extra cost.  If
extra cost is chargeable therefor, each party will advise the other thereof and
of the amount thereof, and the other party, at its election, may pay the same
but shall not be obligated to do so.  

INDEMNIFICATION
- ---------------

     11.  Tenant agrees to save Landlord harmless from and indemnify
Landlord against any and all injury, loss or damage or claims for injury, loss
or damage of whatever nature, to any person or property caused by or resulting
from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or any subtenant or
concessionaire of Tenant or any employee or agent of Tenant or any subtenant or
concessionaire of Tenant.  If Tenant or anyone claiming under 



                                     -24-
   25





Tenant or the whole or any part of the property of Tenant or anyone
claiming under Tenant shall be injured, lost or damaged by theft, fire, water
or steam or in any other way or manner, whether similar or dissimilar to the
foregoing, no part of said injury, loss or damage is to be borne by Landlord
unless the same shall be caused by or result from the negligent act or omission
of Landlord or its employees or agents.  

SELF-HELP
- ---------

TENANT'S DEFAULT
- ----------------

     12A. If Tenant shall default in the performance or observance of any
agreement or condition in this lease contained on its part to be performed or
observed, and shall not cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice
from Landlord specifying the default (or shall not within said period commence
to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default to
completion with due diligence), Landlord may, at its option, without waiving
any claim for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for
the account of Tenant and any reasonable amount paid by Landlord in so doing
shall be deemed paid for the account of Tenant and Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord therefor; provided that Landlord may cure any such default as
aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period but after notice to
Tenant, if the curing of such default prior to the expiration of said waiting
period is reasonably necessary to protect the real estate or Landlord's
interest  



                                     -25-
   26





therein, or to prevent injury or damage to persons or property. If
Tenant shall fail to reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount paid for the
account of Tenant hereunder, said amount shall be added to and become due as a
part of the next payment of rent due hereunder.  

LANDLORD'S DEFAULT
- ------------------

     B.   If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any
agreement or condition in this lease contained on its part to be performed or
observed, or shall default in the payment of any tax or other governmental
charge which shall be a lien upon the demised premises or in the payment of any
installment of principal or interest upon any mortgage which shall be prior in
lien to the lien of this lease, and if Landlord shall not cure such default
within thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant specifying the default or
within such time as may be specified in any such mortgage, (or shall not within
said period commence to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing
of such default to completion with due diligence), Tenant may, at its option,
without waiving any claim for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure
such default for the account of Landlord, and any reasonable amount paid by
Tenant in so doing shall be deemed paid for the account of Landlord and
Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant therefor, provided that Tenant may cure any
such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period, but
after said notice to Landlord, if the curing of such 



                                     -26-
   27





default prior to the expiration of said waiting period is
reasonably necessary to protect the real estate or Tenant's
interest therein or to prevent injury or damage to persons or
property.  Further, Landlord agrees that if Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice of any violation of any rights of Tenant
under this lease, Landlord will use diligence to stop said
violation.  If Landlord shall fail to reimburse Tenant upon demand
for any amount paid for the account of Landlord hereunder, said
amount may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding
payments of rent due hereunder.

MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
- -----------------------------------------------

     13.  Tenant agrees that upon the request of Landlord in
writing it will subordinate this lease and the lien hereof from
time to time to the lien of any present or future first mortgage
to a bank, insurance company, pension trust or similar
institutional lender, irrespective of the time of execution or
time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages, provided that
the holder of any such mortgage shall enter into an agreement with
Tenant, in recordable form, that in the event of foreclosure or
other right asserted under the mortgage by the holder or any
assignee thereof, this lease and the rights of Tenant, its
successors and assigns, hereunder shall continue in full force and
effect and shall not be terminated or disturbed except in
accordance with the provisions of this lease.  Tenant agrees that
if requested by the holder of any such mortgage it will be a party




                                      -27-
   28





to said agreement and will agree in substance that if the
mortgagee or any person claiming under the mortgagee (including a
purchaser at foreclosure sale, its successors and assigns) shall
succeed to the interest of Landlord in this lease, it will
recognize said mortgagee or person as its landlord under the terms
of this lease.  Tenant agrees that it will upon the request of
Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments
necessary or desirable to give effect to or notice of such
subordination.  The word "mortgage" as used herein includes
mortgages, deeds of trust, or other similar instruments and
modifications, consolidations, extensions, renewals, replacements
and substitutes thereof.

TAXES
- -----

     14.  As additional and further rent, Tenant agrees to pay and
discharge, before penalties accrue, all and every tax and taxes
(whether special or general, ordinary or extraordinary), water
rates, sewer rates and assessments imposed or assessed upon or
against the said premises and the buildings or improvements
thereof by any lawfully constituted governmental or public
authority for any period during the term hereof.  Nothing herein
contained shall be construed to require Tenant to pay any
franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or
transfer tax of Landlord, growing out of or connected with this
lease or Landlord's right in said premises, or any income, excess
profits or revenue tax, or any other tax, assessment, charge or




                                      -28-
   29

levy upon the rentals payable by Tenant under this lease unless
and only to the extent that the same is imposed in lieu of the
present real estate tax which is assessed on the demised premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease or in this
Article 14, Landlord shall pay for all assessments that have been
or may be assessed for the roads, water and sewer lines, drainage
and utilities that have been or will be installed by Landlord in
connection with the development of the subdivision of which the
premises are a part.

     In the event that the demised premises or any part thereof
shall hereafter be affected by an assessment or assessments for
local improvements, which may be paid in installments, Tenant
shall have the right to pay said assessments over the longest 
period of time permitted by law and Tenant shall pay only such 
installments as may be due and payable for any period during the 
term of this lease.

     Upon the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant shall
be liable only for such proportion of such taxes and charges which
shall be levied, assessed or become liens upon said premises or any
part thereof for the tax year in which this lease commences as the 
part of such tax year during which this lease is in effect shall bear
to the whole of said tax year.

    Upon the termination of this lease, either by expiration of its term
or under any other provisions of this lease, other than the default by 
Tenant, Tenant shall be liable only for such proportion of such taxes
and charges which shall be levied, assessed or become liens upon said 
premises or any part thereof for the tax year in which this lease is 
terminated as the part of such tax year during which this lease is 
in effect shall bear to the whole of said tax year.

    Tenant agrees, upon request of Landlord, to exhibit to Landlord, 
as Landlord may from time to time require, the official receipts
evidencing the payment or payments described in this Article 14.

    It is understood and agreed that Tenant may pay under protest
and/or contest, review or appeal from all such taxes, assessments 
and other charges levied or placed upon the demised premises, provided 
that Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such action and shall
by legal proceedings or otherwise, prevent the divesting of Landlord's 
title in said premises; and further provided that all such proceedings 
shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and shall promptly be 
commenced and diligently prosecuted to a speedy and final conclusion; 
provided also that Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord 
from any and all judgments, decrees, costs, expenses and charges in 
connection therewith.  All refunds and abatements shall belong to 
Tenant.  Tenant may bring such proceedings as it deems necessary 
in its own name or in the name of the Landlord.  Landlord agrees that 
it will, if requested by Tenant, at the cost and expense of Tenant, 
execute or have executed any documents that might be necessary to 
bring any such action or proceedings or defend any action or 
proceedings which Tenant deems should be defended.

     Landlord shall have the right to pay any such taxes or other
changes aforesaid if Landlord is about to be divested of interest




                                      -29-

upon written notice to Tenant, and Landlord may add the amount so
paid to the installment of annual net rent next coming due or to
any subsequent installment of said rent, and the same shall be
collectible as additional rent in the same manner and with the
same remedies as if it had been originally reserved as rent.

PAYMENT OF TAXES TO MORTGAGEE
- -----------------------------

     If the terms of any first mortgage to a bank, insurance
company, pension trust or similar institutional lender, provide
for the payment to or deposit with the mortgagee of monthly
payment on account of real estate taxes, the Tenant agrees that it
will make such payments as may be required by the terms of such
mortgage, provided that such mortgagee pays interest on such
deposits if a statute is enacted requiring such payment of
interest.

UTILITIES
- ---------

     15.  Tenant shall pay all charges for light, power, gas,
telephone, water and fuel consumed on the demised premises and
sewerage use charges, if any, applicable to the demised premises
and shall provide such heat and air-conditioning, if any, as it
shall deem desirable, and Tenant shall pay for all snow removal
and all maintenance of parking lot.  Landlord shall not be liable
for any interruption of gas, water, heat, air-conditioning,
electricity other utilities in the demised premises, except,
however, if any such interruption shall be due to the failure of
any utilities, conduits or equipment which it shall be the




                                      -30-
   31





obligation of Landlord to maintain pursuant to other provisions of
this lease, Landlord shall, upon notice of such failure, use due
diligence to repair the same.

ASSIGNMENT
- ----------

     16.  Tenant shall have the right to assign this lease or to
sublease the demised premises or any part thereof with the written
consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Tenant may assign
this lease or sublet any portion or all of the premises without
Landlord's consent to any corporation, partnership, trust,
association or other business organization directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by Tenant or to any successor by merger,
consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant.  Notwithstanding any such assignment or
subletting, Tenant shall continue liable during the entire term of
this lease, or any extension or renewal or exercise of the option
to purchase pursuant to the options granted herein for payment of
the annual net rent and additional rent and for the performance of
the terms, provisions and covenants in this lease contained and on
the part of Tenant to be kept and performed.  In the event of any
assignment of this lease, Tenant agrees that its continuing
liability hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any
extension of time or other indulgence granted to any assignee or
by waiver by the Landlord of any default of any of the terms and
provisions of the lease, whether or not prior notice thereof has




                                      -31-
   32





been given to the Tenant, the Tenant hereby waiving all suretyship
defenses.

LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
- --------------------

     17.  It is expressly agreed and understood that if Landlord
herein named conveys its interest in the said demised premises
during the term hereof, it shall not thereafter be liable for the
covenants and agreements to be observed and performed by Landlord
hereunder, but the grantee of the Landlord's interest shall
thereupon assume and become liable for the observance of said
covenants and agreements.  Nothing herein, however, shall relieve
Landlord named herein of any liability which may have incurred or
which may have accrued prior to such conveyance.

DEFAULT
- -------

     18.A.  (1) If the Tenant shall be in default in payment of
any rent, or (2) if the Tenant shall be in default in the
performance or observance of any other agreement on its part to be
performed or observed, or (3) if any person shall take this
leasehold interest or any part thereof upon execution, or (4) if
Tenant shall make an assignment of its property for the benefit of
creditors, or (5) if Tenant shall be declared bankrupt or
insolvent according to law or (6) if any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings shall be commenced by or against Tenant and shall not
be dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, or
(7) if a receiver, trustee or assignee shall be appointed in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings for the property of Tenant




                                      -32-
   33





and shall not be discharged within one hundred twenty (120) days
thereafter, then, in any of said cases, on the thirtieth day next
following the giving of notice designating such default or breach
hereof, provided Tenant has not cured such default within such
thirty (30) day period or if the default is of such a nature that
it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period,
provided that Tenant has not commenced diligently to correct the
default and has not thereafter diligently pursued such correction
to completion, then, without waiving any claim for breach of
agreement, Landlord may send written notice to Tenant of the
termination of the term of this lease and on the fifth day next
following the date of the sending of the notice, the term of this
lease shall terminate, Tenant hereby waiving all rights of
redemption.

DEFAULT
- -------

     B.   In case of any such termination, Tenant will indemnify
Landlord against all loss of rent and other payments provided
herein to be paid by Tenant to Landlord between the time of
termination and the expiration of the term of this lease; or at
the election of Landlord, exercised at the time of the termination
or at any time thereafter, Tenant will indemnify Landlord each
month until the exercise of the election against all loss of rent
provided herein to be paid by Tenant to Landlord which Landlord
may incur by reason of such termination during the period between
the time of the termination and the exercise of the election, and




                                      -33-
   34





upon the exercise of the election, Tenant will pay to Landlord as
damages such amount as at the time of the exercise of the election
represents the amount by which the fair rental value of the
demised premises for the period from the exercise of the election
until the expiration of the term shall be less than the amount of
rent and other payments provided herein to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord during said period.  It is understood and agreed that at
the time of the termination or any time thereafter Landlord in the
exercise of reasonable business judgment will seek to relet the
premises may rent the demised premises for a term which may expire
after the expiration of the term of this lease, without releasing
Tenant from any liability whatsoever, that Tenant shall be liable
for any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining
possession of the demised premises, in connection with putting the
demised premises into good condition for reletting, and in
connection with any reletting, including, but without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and brokers' fees, and that any monies
collected from any reletting shall be applied first to the
foregoing expenses and then to payment of rent and all other
payments due from Tenant to Landlord.

RIGHTS CUMULATIVE
- -----------------

     19.  It is mutually covenanted and agreed that the various
rights, powers, options, elections, appointments and remedies of
Landlord contained in this lease shall be construed as cumulative

to enter in and upon said premises during reasonable business
hours for the purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants.
Landlord shall obtain any security clearances necessary if Tenant
is performing classified work at any time on the premises.

INTERPRETATION
- --------------

     21.  It is agreed that if any provision of this lease or the
application of any provision to any person or any circumstance
shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then such
determination shall not affect any other provisions of this lease
or the application of said provision to any other person or
circumstance all of which other provisions shall remain in full
force and effect; and it is the intention of the parties hereto
that if any provision of this lease is capable of two
constructions, one of which would render the provision void and
the other of which would render the provision valid, then the
provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
- ----------------------

     22.  The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" and the pronouns
referring thereto as used in this lease shall mean, where the
context requires or admits, the persons named herein as Landlord
and as Tenant respectively, and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, irrespective of whether
singular or plural, masculine, feminine or neuter.  The agreements

enure to the benefit of Tenant and its heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, and the agreements and

DELAYS
- ------
     23.  In any case where either party hereto is required to act
(other than make a payment of money) delays caused by or
resulting from an act of God, war, civil commotion, fire or
casualty, labor difficulties, general shortages of labor, materials,
or equipment, government regulations or other causes beyond such
reasonable control shall not be counted in determining the time when




                                      -36-
   37





the performance of such act must be completed, such time be
designated by a fixed time, a fixed period of time or "a reasonable
time".  In any case where work is to be paid for out of insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards, due allowance shall be made, both
to the party required to perform such and to the party required to
make such payment for delays in the collection of such proceeds
and awards.

HOLDING OVER
- ------------

     24.  If Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall remain
in possession of the demised premises or any part thereof after the

at any time, express or implied, of any breach of any provision of
this lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other




                                      -37-
   38





provision of this lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of the
same or any other provision.  If any action by either party shall require the
consent or approval of the other party, the other party's consent to or
approval of such action on any one occasion shall not be deemed a consent to or
approval of said action on any subsequent occasion or a consent to or approval
of any other action on the same or any subsequent occasion.  Any and all rights
and remedies which either party may have under this lease or by operation of
law, either at law or in equity, upon any breach, shall be distinct, separate
and cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other; and no one
of them, whether exercised by said party or not shall be deemed to be in
exclusion of any other; and any two or more or all of such rights and remedies
may be exercised at the same time.

                    (2) October 7, 1992

            dated:  (1) October 25, 1990
                    (2) December 18, 1990
            (jointly and severally the "Agreements")

Dear Jerry:

     I am pleased to inform you that on September 14, 1994, the
Board of Directors (the "Board") of Analog Devices, Inc. (the
"Company"), at a meeting duly called at which a quorum was present
and voting throughout, voted to authorize amendments to your
outstanding Non-Qualified Stock Options and Restricted Stock
Awards, granted to you pursuant to each of the Agreements
referenced above.

     This letter is intended to provide an amendment to each of
the above referenced Agreements.  The following, upon your
acceptance as provided below shall be incorporated in each
referenced Agreement as if fully stated therein and shall prevail
over any conflicting provision thereof so long as the period of
time set forth therein has not expired.  The capitalized terms in
the amendment shall have the same meaning as set forth in the
Agreements.

     (1)    The parties hereby agree that in the event the Company
terminates your employment for any reason other than termination
for cause prior to September 15, 1999, (i) the options for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock of the
   2

Company which are not then exercisable (in the case of the Non-Qualified Stock
Option Agreements) shall be and become immediately exercisable upon such 
termination, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock of the Company which
are not then vested (because the Restricted Period set forth in the Restricted
Stock Award Agreements has not then expired) shall be and become immediately
fully vested upon such termination date, and the applicable terms set in the
Agreements relating to exercisable options and vested shares shall govern.  

     (2)    The above provisions relating to acceleration of Options and
vesting of Restricted Stock shall not apply to (a) any voluntary termination by
you of your employment, (b) any termination for cause prior to September 15,
1999 or (c) any Options or Restricted Stock Awards granted to you by the
Company after September 14, 1994.  

     (3)    "Cause" for the purposes hereof means (a) your willful and
continued failure to substantially perform your duties as directed by the Board
(other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or
mental disability), provided that a written demand for substantial performance
has been delivered to you by the Board specifically identifying the manner in
which the Board believes that you have not substantially performed your duties
and you have not cured such failure within 30 days after such demand, (b) your
willful engaging in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to
the Company, or (c) your willful violation of any material provision of any
confidentiality, nondisclosure, assignment of invention, noncompetition or
similar agreement entered into by you in connection with your employment by the
Company.  For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on your part
shall be deemed "willful" unless done or omitted to be done by you not in good
faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the
best interest of the Company.  

     (4)    On and after September 15, 1999, the terms of each of the
Agreements then in effect will determine your rights with respect to the Common
Stock of the Company subject to the Agreements.
