                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

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
general-purpose, standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SLICs") and
system-level ICs. The latter group includes general-purpose digital signal
processing ICs ("DSPs") and application-specific devices that typically
incorporate analog and mixed-signal circuitry and a DSP core.

Nearly all of Analog's products are components, which are typically incorporated
by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in a wide range of equipment and
systems for use in communications, computer, industrial, instrumentation,
military/aerospace, automotive and high-performance consumer electronics
applications.

The Company sells its products worldwide through a direct sales force,
third-party industrial distributors and independent sales representatives.
Approximately 46% of fiscal 1997 revenue was derived from customers in North
America, while most of the balance was derived from customers in Western Europe
and the Far East.

Analog is headquartered near Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts, and has
manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts, California, North Carolina, Ireland,
the Philippines and Taiwan. Founded in 1965, Analog employs approximately 7,500
persons worldwide.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

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, such as 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," or DSP. 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 known collectively as "real-world signal processing."

Significant advances in semiconductor technology over the past 10 to 15 years
have led to substantial increases in the performance and functionality of ICs
used in signal processing applications. These advances include 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 higher performance and more efficient signal processing.

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 Linear ICs, system-level ICs and assembled
products.

A substantial portion of the Company's products are proprietary, while
equivalents to most of its other products are available from a limited number of
other suppliers.

                                       1

SLICS

SLIC products have been the foundation of the Company's business for more than
20 years, and Analog believes it is one of the world's largest SLIC suppliers.
During 1997, 1996 and 1995, SLIC sales represented 61%, 57% and 64%,
respectively, of the Company's total sales. The Company's SLICs are primarily
high-performance, single-function devices. The majority of the Company's SLIC
product revenue is attributable to sales of data converters (analog-to-digital
and digital-to-analog) and amplifiers. Other SLIC products offered by the
Company include analog signal-processing devices (such as analog multipliers),
voltage references and comparators. Over the past few years the Company has been
expanding its SLIC product offerings into product areas where its focus was
previously limited, 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. SLICs typically have long product
life cycles. 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 instrumentation, industrial and military/aerospace
markets, but they are now also being used for applications in communications,
computers, camcorders, scanners, automatic test equipment, imaging and other
consumer applications requiring high-performance real-world signal processing.

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 not currently achievable using a single
IC.

SYSTEM-LEVEL ICS

Analog's system-level ICs include general-purpose DSP ICs and multi-function
devices that feature high levels of functional integration on a single chip.
During 1997, 1996 and 1995, sales of these products represented 35%, 38% and
28%, respectively, of the Company's total sales.

The Company's general-purpose DSP ICs are designed to efficiently execute
specialized programs (algorithms) associated with processing digitized
real-time, real-world data. General-purpose DSP IC customers typically write
their own algorithms using software tools provided by the Company and software
tools obtained from third-party suppliers. All of these devices share a common
architecture and code compatibility, which allows system designers to address
cost, performance and time-to-market constraints. Analog supports these products
with specialized applications and easy-to-use, low-cost design tools, which
reduce product development costs and time to market.

Most of Analog's system-level ICs, other than its general-purpose DSPs, are
mixed-signal devices some of which include a DSP core. The balance are
linear-only devices. These devices are nearly always designed to meet the
requirements of a specific application, and the design process often includes
significant input from one or more potential key customers. Market demand for
these types of devices is driven by the benefits that result from combining a
number of functions on a single circuit, as opposed to a combination of SLICs
and other ICs. These benefits include higher performance, lower cost per
function, smaller size, lower weight, fewer parts and decreased power
consumption. These products allow Analog's customers to design smaller, lighter,
higher performance, more power-efficient and lower cost end products. The
Company believes that 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.

                                       2

ASSEMBLED PRODUCTS

The Company's assembled products include multi-chip modules ("MCMs"), hybrids
and printed-board modules. A MCM is a device made up of several IC chips
assembled in an automated fashion in a multilayer package that provides high
interconnect density at low cost. A hybrid consists of several chips and
discrete components mounted and wired together on a substrate, which is then
enclosed in a package. A printed-board module consists of surface-mount
components assembled on a small printed board that is then encapsulated in a
small plastic case.

Revenues from this product group have been declining for several years,
primarily because hybrids have been replaced in many new designs with smaller,
lower-cost monolithic ICs that offer higher levels of performance and
integration at lower cost. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, sales of these products
represented 4%, 5% and 8%, respectively, of the Company's total sales.

MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS

The Company's products are sold primarily to OEMs for incorporation into
equipment, instruments and systems sold to end users for a wide variety of
applications, including engineering; medical and scientific instruments;
industrial equipment; communications equipment; computers and computer
peripherals; military/aerospace equipment; high-end consumer electronics
products and automotive products. The Company's growth has been aided both by
the expansion of these markets and the increasing need for high-performance
real-time signal processing.

Listed below are some of the characteristics of each of the Company's major
markets:

INSTRUMENTATION--includes engineering, medical and scientific instruments. These
products are usually designed using the highest performance SLICs available,
where production volumes generally do not warrant custom or application-specific
ICs.

INDUSTRIAL--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,
except in ATE applications where the high level of electronic circuitry required
per tester has created opportunities for the design of system-level ICs for this
application.

COMMUNICATIONS--includes data and fax modems, digital cellular telephones and
portable, wireless communication base station equipment and broadband wired
applications. 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.

COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER PERIPHERALS--includes high-performance personal
computers, workstations and peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and
scanners. 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; and enhanced sound
input and output capability for business and entertainment applications.

MILITARY/AEROSPACE--includes 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 appropriate military standards. In addition, many products
can be supplied to meet the standards required for broadcast satellites and
other commercial space applications. Most of the Company's products sold in this
market are derived from standard commercial grade ICs, although the Company
sometimes develops products expressly for military/aerospace applications.

                                       3
   5



CONSUMER ELECTRONICS--The emergence of high-performance consumer products, such
as compact disc players, DVD players and digital camcorders, has led to the need
for high-performance system-level ICs with a high level of functionality.
Although the Company's revenue from this market has not been significant, the
Company has begun supplying 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.

AUTOMOTIVE--Although the automotive market has historically been served with
low-cost, low-performance ICs, demand has emerged for higher performance devices
for a wide range of applications. In response, Analog is developing products
specifically for the automotive market. The Company is supplying a micromachined
IC used as a crash sensor in airbag systems, which serves as an alternative to
an electromechanical sensor. The Company anticipates that other micromachined
devices derived from this product may be suitable for other automotive
applications, such as anti-lock brakes and "smart" suspension systems.

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 $196 million during
fiscal 1997 on the design, development and improvement of new and existing
products and processes, compared to $178 million during fiscal 1996 and $134
million during fiscal 1995.

In support of its research and development activities, the Company employs
several hundred engineers involved in product and process development at several
design centers and manufacturing sites located throughout the world.

As of November 1, 1997, the Company owned 486 U.S. patents and had 168 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 46% of fiscal 1997 revenue was derived from
customers in North America. As of December 1, 1997, the Company had 13 sales
offices in the United States, and its third-party distribution channel consisted
of eight national and regional third-party distributors and several independent
sales representatives at numerous locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Approximately 29% of the Company's fiscal 1997 revenue was derived from sales to
customers in Europe; 13% to customers in Japan; and 12% to customers in other
international markets. As of December 1, 1997, the Company had direct sales
offices in Australia, Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India,
Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan and the
United Kingdom. The Company also had sales representatives and/or distributors
in approximately 36 countries outside North America, including countries where
the Company also has direct sales offices. For further detail regarding
geographic information, see Note 3 in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements incorporated herein by reference to the 1997 Annual Report
to Shareholders and filed herewith as part of Exhibit 13.2.

Approximately 42% of Analog's fiscal 1997 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 certain 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.

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
provides products and application information via its worldwide web site on the
Internet. 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.

For fiscal 1997, Analog's 20 largest customers accounted for approximately 29%
of the Company's net sales. The largest single customer represented less than 4%
of net sales.

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 wide variety of Company-developed proprietary
processes specifically tailored for use in fabricating high-performance linear
and mixed-signal SLICs and system-level ICs.

Analog's IC products are fabricated both at the Company's production facilities
and by third-party wafer fabricators. The Company relies primarily on its own
facilities for fabricating wafers that require linear and mixed-signal
processes. The Company operates wafer fabrication facilities in Wilmington and
Cambridge, Massachusetts; Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, California; and Limerick,
Ireland for production of linear and mixed-signal devices. The Company also
operates assembly and test facilities located in the United States, Ireland, the
Philippines and Taiwan and also uses third-party subcontractors. The Company
uses two principal foundries, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
("TSMC") and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte., Ltd. ("CSM") for the
production of digital and VLSI mixed-signal devices. To provide access to
advanced process technology at competitive costs, the Company has entered into a
joint venture agreement (WaferTech, LLC) with TSMC, Altera, Integrated Silicon
Solutions and several individual investors to build an eight-inch wafer
fabrication facility in Camas, Washington. Analog is an 18% equity partner in
the joint venture, which is expected to become operational late in 1998, and has
rights to purchase up to 27% of the output from this facility.

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.

To respond to production capacity shortages which existed during 1995, the
Company significantly expanded its manufacturing capacity during 1996 and 1997.
Major wafer fabrication expansions have been completed in Wilmington,
Massachusetts; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Sunnyvale, California and Limerick,
Ireland. In addition, the Company has completed construction of an additional
assembly and test facility in Cavite, Philippines.

BACKLOG

Backlog at the end of fiscal 1997 was approximately $280 million; it was
approximately $291 million at the end of fiscal 1996. The Company may allow
customers to revise the quantities or delivery schedules of products ordered to
reflect changes in their needs. Accordingly, the Company believes that its
backlog at any time should not be used as a measure of future revenues.

                                       5
   7



GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

The Company estimates that approximately 12% of its fiscal 1997 total worldwide
revenue was 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-price subcontracts. All such
contracts and subcontracts contain standard provisions relating to termination
at the election of the United States government.

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 system-level IC product
categories. Competitors for the Company's linear and mixed-signal products
include Burr-Brown Corp., Cirrus Logic Inc., Exar Corp., Harris Corp., Linear
Technology Corp., Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., National Semiconductor Corp.,
Rockwell International Corp., Sierra Semiconductor Corp., Siliconix Inc., Texas
Instruments, Inc. and others.

Sales of DSPs represent a growing percentage of the Company's total sales.
Analog's competitors in the DSP IC market include Lucent Technologies 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. 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, enables 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 November 1, 1997, the Company employed approximately 7,500 persons. The
Company's future success depends in large part on the continued service of its
key technical and senior management personnel, and on its ability to continue to
attract, retain and motivate qualified employees, particularly those highly
skilled design, process and test engineers involved in the manufacture of
existing products and the development of new products and processes. The
competition for such personnel is intense, and the loss of key employees could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that
relations with its employees are good.

date and hour thereof, and the purposes for which the meeting is to be held,
shall be given by the Clerk or other person calling the meeting at least seven
days before the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and to each
stockholder who, by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws, is
entitled to such notice, by leaving such notice with him or at his residence or

stockholders present or represented at the meeting, although less than a quorum,
or by any officer entitled to preside or to act as clerk of such meeting, if no

or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or
prior to its exercise.

shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders
entitled to vote at the election. No ballot shall be required for such election
unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote in the election. The corporation shall not directly or
indirectly vote any share of its stock.

        9.      ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action to be taken by stockholders
may be taken without a meeting if all stockholders entitled to vote on the
matter consent to the action by a writing filed with the records of the meetings

        1.      POWERS. The business of the corporation shall be managed by a
Board of Directors who may exercise all the powers of the corporation except as
otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws.
In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining Directors,
except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board
until the vacancy is filled.

   7


        2.      NUMBER OF DIRECTORS, ELECTION. The number of Directors of the
corporation, which shall not be less than three, shall be fixed from time to
time by a majority of the Directors then in office. Elections of Directors need
not be by written ballot except as and to the extent provided in the By-Laws of
the corporation.

        3.      CLASSES OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors shall be and is
divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. No one class shall
have more than one Director more than any other class. If a fraction is
contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of
Directors by three, then if such fraction is one-third, the extra Director shall
be a member of Class III and, if such fraction is two-thirds, one of the extra
Directors shall be a member of Class III and one of the extra Directors shall be
a member of Class II, unless otherwise provided for from time to time by vote
adopted by a majority of the Directors then in office.

        4.      TERMS OF OFFICE. Each Director shall serve for a term ending on
the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such
Director was elected; provided, however, that each initial Director in Class I
shall serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting next following
the end of the corporation's fiscal year 1990; each initial Director in Class II
shall serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting next following
the end of the corporation's fiscal year 1991; and each initial Director in
Class III shall serve for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting next
following the end of the corporation's fiscal year 1992. Notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary contained herein, each Director shall



                                       -7-


   8


serve until a successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation
or removal.

        5.      ENLARGEMENT OF THE BOARD; VACANCIES. The number of Directors
constituting the Board of Directors may be increased solely by vote of a
majority of the Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum. Any
vacancies in the Board of Directors occurring for any reason and any newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors
shall be filled solely by the Board of Directors acting by the vote of a
majority of the Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum. Each
Director chosen to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next election of
the class for which such Director shall have been chosen and until his successor
shall be elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or
removal.

        6.      ALLOCATION OF DIRECTORS AMONG CLASSES. In the event of any
increase or decrease in the authorized number of Directors, (a) each Director
then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as Director of the class of
which he is a member until the expiration of his current term or his prior
death, retirement or resignation and (b) the newly created or eliminated
directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by
the Board of Directors among the three classes of Directors so as to ensure that
no one class has more than one Director more than any other class. To the extent
possible, consistent with the foregoing, any newly created directorships shall
be added to those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the latest
dates following such allocation, and any newly eliminated directorships shall be



                                       -8-


   9


subtracted from those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the
earliest dates following such allocation, unless otherwise provided for from
time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors then in
office, although less than a quorum.

        7.      QUORUM; ACTION OF MEETING. A majority of the Directors at any
time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, if
at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than such a quorum,
a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Every act
or decision done or made by a majority of Directors present at a meeting duly
held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of
Directors unless a greater number be required by law, by the Articles of
Organization of the corporation or by these By-Laws.

        8.      RESIGNATIONS. Any Director may resign by delivering his written
resignation to the corporation's President, Clerk or Secretary. Such resignation
shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some
other time or upon the happening of some other event.

        9.      REMOVAL. A Director may be removed from office (a) with or
without cause by vote of a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote in the
election of Directors, provided that the Directors of a class elected by a
particular class of stockholders may be removed only by the vote of the holders
of a majority of the shares of such class or (b) for cause by vote of a majority
of the Directors then in


                                       -9-


   10


office. A Director may be removed for cause only after reasonable notice and
opportunity to be heard before the body proposing to remove him.

        10.     MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Directors may be held without
call or notice at such places, within or without Massachusetts, and at such
times as the Directors may from time to time determine, provided that any
Director who is absent when such determination is made shall be given notice of
the determination. A regular meeting of the Directors may be held without a call
or notice at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders, or the
special meeting held in lieu thereof, following such meeting of stockholders.

        Special meetings of the Directors may be held at any time and place,
within or without Massachusetts, designated in a call by the President,
Treasurer or two or more Directors.

        11.     NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETINGS. Notice of all special meetings of
the Directors shall be given to each Director by the Secretary, or if there be
no Secretary, by the Clerk, or Assistant Clerk, or in case of the death,
absence, incapacity or refusal of such persons, by the officer or one of the
Directors calling the meeting. Notice shall be given to each Director in person
or by telephone or by telegram sent to his business or home address at least
forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting, or by written notice mailed to his
business or home address at least seventy-two hours in advance of the meeting.
Notice need not be given to any Director if a written waiver of notice, executed
by him before or after the meeting, is filed with the records of the meeting, or
to any Director who attends the meeting without protesting prior thereto



                                      -10-


   11


or at its commencement the lack of notice to him. A notice or waiver of notice
of a Directors' meeting need not specify the purposes of the meeting.

        12.     ACTION AT MEETING. At any meeting of the Directors at which a
quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present, unless a different
vote is specified by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws,
shall be sufficient to take any action.

        13.     ACTION OF CONSENT. Any action by the Directors may be taken
without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by all the Directors
and filed with the records of the Directors' meetings. Such consent shall be
treated as a vote of the Directors for all purposes.

        14.     COMMITTEES. The Directors may, by vote of a majority of the
Directors then in office, elect from their number an executive committee or
other committees and may by like vote delegate thereto some or all of their
powers except those which by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws
they are prohibited from delegating. Except as the Directors may otherwise
determine, any such committee may make rules for the conduct of its business,
but unless otherwise provided by the Directors or in such rules, its business
shall be conducted as nearly as may be in the same manner as is provided by
these By-Laws for the Directors.

        15.     MASSACHUSETTS LAW. To the extent that any of the provisions in
this Article II relating to the classification of Directors conflicts or is
inconsistent with any of the provisions of Section 50A of Chapter 156B of the
General Laws of the



                                      -11-

                           ARTICLE IV - CAPITAL STOCK

        1.      CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. Each stockholder shall be entitled to a
certificate of the capital stock of the corporation in such form as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Directors. The certificate shall be signed
by the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer, but when a certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or a
registrar, other than a Director, officer or employee of the corporation, such
signatures may be facsimiles. In case any officer who has signed or whose
facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be
such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the time of its
issue.

                Every certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any
restriction on transfer pursuant to the Articles of Organization, the By-Laws or
any agreement to which the corporation is a party, shall have conspicuously
noted on the face or back of the certificate either the full text of the
restriction or a statement of the existence of such restrictions and a statement
that the corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such
certificate upon written request and without charge. Every certificate issued
when the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of
stock shall set forth on its face or back either the full text of the
preferences, voting powers, qualifications and specifications and special and
relative rights of the shares of each class and series authorized to be issued
or a statement of the existence


                                      -16-


   17


of such preferences, powers, qualifications and rights and a statement that the
corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon
written request and without charge.

        2.      TRANSFERS. Subject to the restrictions, if any, stated or noted
on the stock certificates, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of
the corporation by the surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of the
certificate therefor properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment
and power of attorney properly executed, with necessary transfer stamps affixed,
and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the corporation or its
transfer agent may reasonably require. Except as may be otherwise required by
law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws, the corporation shall
be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the
owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the
right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other
disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books
of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-Laws.

                It shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the
corporation of his post office address and of his taxpayer identification
number.

        3.      RECORD DATE. The Directors may fix in advance a time not more
than sixty days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders or the date
for the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution to
stockholders or the last day on which the consent or dissent of stockholders may
be effectively expressed for



                                      -17-


   18


any purpose, as the record date for determining the stockholders having the
right to notice of and to vote at such meeting, and any adjournment thereof, or
the right to receive such dividend or distribution or the right to give such
consent or dissent. In such case only stockholders of record on such record date
shall have such right, notwithstanding any transfer of stock on the books of the
corporation after the record date. Without fixing such record date the Directors
may for any of such purposes close the transfer books for all or any part of
such period.

        4.      REPLACEMENT OF CERTIFICATES. In case of the alleged loss or
destruction or the mutilation of a certificate of stock, a duplicate certificate
may be issued in place thereof, upon such terms as the Directors may prescribe,
including the presentation of reasonable evidence of such loss, destruction or
mutilation and the giving of such indemnity as the Directors may require for the
protection of the corporation or any transfer agent or registrar.

        5.      ISSUE OF CAPITAL STOCK. Unless otherwise voted by the
stockholders, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized
capital stock of the corporation or the whole or any part of the capital stock
of the corporation held in its treasury may be issued or disposed of by vote of
the Directors, in such manner, for such consideration and on such terms as the
Directors may determine.


                      ARTICLE V - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

        1.      FISCAL YEAR. Except as from time to time otherwise determined by
the Directors, the fiscal year of the corporation shall be the 52 or 53 week

contracts, bonds, notes and other obligations authorized to be executed by an
officer of the corporation in its behalf shall be signed by the President or the
Treasurer except as the directors may generally or in particular cases otherwise
determine.

        4.      VOTING OF SECURITIES. Except as the Directors may otherwise
designate, the President or Treasurer may waive notice of, and act as, or
appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney in fact for, this
corporation (with or without power of substitution) at any meeting of
stockholders or shareholders of any other corporation or organization, the
securities of which may be held by this corporation.

        5.      CORPORATE RECORDS. The original, or attested copies, of the
Articles of Organization, By-Laws and records of all meetings of the
incorporators and stockholders, and the stock and transfer records, which shall
contain the names of all stockholders and the record address and the amount of
stock held by each, shall be kept in Massachusetts at the principal office of
the corporation, or at an office of its transfer agent or of the Clerk. Said
copies and records need not all be kept in the same office. They shall be
available at all reasonable times to the inspection of any stockholder for any
proper purpose, but not to secure a list of stockholders for the purpose of
selling said list or copies thereof or of using the same for a purpose other
than in the interest of the applicant, as a stockholder, relative to the affairs
of the corporation.

or an Assistant Clerk or Assistant Secretary, or a temporary Clerk or temporary
Secretary, as to any action taken by the stockholders, Directors, Executive
Committee or any officer or representative of the corporation shall as to all
persons who rely thereon in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action.

        7.      ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION. All reference in these By-Laws to the
Articles of Organization shall be deemed to refer to the Articles of
Organization of the corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time.

        8.      TRANSACTIONS WITH INTERESTED PARTIES. In the absence of fraud,
no contract or other transaction between this corporation and any other
corporation or any firm, association, partnership or person shall be affected or
invalidated by the fact that any Director or officer of this corporation is
pecuniarily or otherwise interested in or is a director, member or officer of
such other corporation or of such firm, association or partnership or is a party
to or is pecuniarily or otherwise interested in such contract or other
transaction or is in any way connected with any person or persons, firm,

is so interested shall be disclosed to or shall have been known by the Board of
Directors or a majority of such members thereof as shall be present at a meeting
of the Board of Directors at which action upon any such contract or transaction
shall be taken; any Director may be counted in determining the existence



                                      -20-


   21


of a quorum and may vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors of this
corporation for the purpose of authorizing any such contract or transaction with

such contract or transaction.

        9.      AMENDMENTS. These By-Laws may be amended by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of capital stock at the

respect to (a) the provisions of these By-Laws governing (i) the removal of
Directors, (ii) the indemnification of Directors and (iii) the amendment of
these By-Laws and (b) any provision of these By-Laws which by law, the Articles

PURPOSE OF THE BONUS PLAN The intent of ADI's Corporate Bonus Plan is to
encourage employees to work together toward the company-wide goal of strong
financial performance. Continuous improvement in the Company's performance,
which can be influenced by all employees, results in a reward for employees and
ADI shareholders alike.

MEASURING ANALOG'S SUCCESS In FY1998 the Corporate Bonus Plan design will
continue to focus attention on both profitability, as measured by Operating
Profit Before Taxes (OPBT), and sales growth. In order for ADI to become a
multi-billion dollar company, rapid growth as well as sustained profitability
are both equally critical success factors. The FY1998 Bonus payment formula is
designed to emphasize the importance of these goals.

FY1997 BONUS AND FY1998 GOALS During FY1997 Analog earned Net Income of
$178million and paid $25million in bonuses to its employees. During a difficult
year ADI's financial performance was good, as a result of the significant
efforts made by employees. This level of bonus payment represented a significant
level of profit sharing with employees.

For FY1998 we believe that the opportunity exists for sales growth to resume at
20-25% above last year's levels. This level of growth would result in net income
more than 30% greater than that in FY1997.

If this goal is achieved, employees will see about a 50% increase in their bonus
payments over FY1997.

BONUS PAYMENT FORMULA The level at which the FY1998 ADI Bonus Plan will
potentially pay has been altered to better respond to the critical business
goals established by the Senior Management Team. As such, the payout "curve"
will now produce a 2.0x target payout when the combination of OPBT and revenue
growth equals 25%, rather than the previous formula which would have produced a
2.0x payout at the 20% combined level. This change recognizes the fact that
there is both the opportunity and the imperative to achieve this level of
performance in the product areas and markets we serve, in order to be
competitive and maintain ADI's position as both a technology leader and also as
an above average company in which to invest. The maximum Bonus payout factor
remains 2.5 times target.

The enclosed chart illustrates how the revised bonus formula works in relation
to business results.

One-half of the Bonus payout factor is driven by sales growth over the same
period last year, and one-half by Operating Profit in the Bonus Period. For
bonus purposes, Bonus Period 1 consists of Q1 and Q2, and Bonus Period 2
consists of Q3 and Q4. A bonus will be paid semiannually, in June and December,
if Analog's




   3


performance is sufficient to earn a bonus. The payout factor is determined by
combining the sales growth rate and the OPBT level for the period. For example,
if sales growth for Q1/Q2 were 15% and OPBT 20%, then the combined payout factor
for the period would be 1.4 times target.

YOUR BONUS TARGET Your ADI Bonus Target is based upon your job grade level. This
target represents a percentage of your regular earnings paid during the bonus
period. The bonus targets are:

GRADE LEVEL BONUS POTENTIAL TARGET RANGE Non-Exempt 4% 0 - 10% E02 - E06 4% 0 - 10% E07 - E08 6% 0 - 15% E09 - E10 8% 0 - 20% E11 - E14 15% 0 - 38% E15 - E16 20% 0 - 50%
YOUR BONUS PAYMENT At the end of each bonus period, a payout factor is computed from the payout model based upon OPBT and sales growth for the period. When ADI's business results warrant it, you will receive a bonus payment. The payment is calculated by multiplying your accumulated regular earnings paid in the bonus period by the bonus target that corresponds to your job grade level in effect at the end of the bonus period. The product of that calculation is then multiplied by the payout factor to provide the gross bonus payment amount. EXAMPLE Accumulated regular earnings for the Bonus Period = $15,000 Bonus target percent = 4% Payout factor for the Bonus Period = 1.50 Gross bonus (before tax) payment: $15,000 x 4% x 1.50 = $900.00 Included in regular earnings are the following pay categories: - Base pay - Holiday pay - Shift differential - Bereavement pay - Sick pay - Jury duty pay - Vacation pay - Alternative work schedule pay Excluded from the Bonus Plan are: - - Overtime pay - - Bonus payments received from a previous bonus period - - Other payments which are taxable but not considered regular earnings. WHO'S ELIGIBLE? Most ADI employees participate in the Bonus Plan. New employees are immediately eligible to participate in the Plan with no waiting period. -2- 4 The following situations may EXCLUDE an employee from Bonus payment eligibility: - - Employee is already covered under a field sales, field applications engineering or other incentive program - - Employee terminates employment prior to the last day of the bonus period - - Employee receives a Marginal performance rating during the bonus period - - Employee receives a final written warning during the bonus period - - Co-op student or intern Temporary employee. ADI BONUS: A PART OF TOTAL COMPENSATION The ADI Bonus Plan is only one component of your total compensation package, along with base pay/merit increase and benefits programs. The Bonus program, together with the base pay/merit increase program, make up your total annual cash compensation. The bonus is the most variable component of your total package. ADI's total annual cash compensation strategy is to pay at above average pay levels for above average performance. This strategy relates to both individual and company performance. Our base pay/merit increase and benefits programs are designed to maintain individual base pay rates and benefits at a level competitive with those of other employers. Then, when company performance warrants a bonus payment, the additional money it provides moves your total annual cash compensation to a higher level. -3- 5 WE CAN HAVE AN IMPACT Everyone can influence sales growth and profitability by improving customer satisfaction, minimizing waste and controlling expenses. Each person's initiative is important. TQM can provide tools for identifying and implementing important improvements. There are two ways to further sustain and grow operating profit by increasing sales revenues and/or decreasing expenses. Increasing sales revenues is not just the job of the sales force. QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BONUS WHY WAS THE BONUS PAYMENT FORMULA CHANGED? ADI's bonus program design should reflect both the important business goals for this fiscal year as well as the competitive market in which our business operates. Further increases to OPBT and the setting of aggressive sales revenue growth goals reflect those performance measures that are considered critical focuses for the future competitive position of the company. WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY BONUS PAYMENT? Bonus checks are issued approximately six weeks after the close of the bonus period and the formal announcement of a bonus payment for the period. WILL MY BONUS PAYMENTS BE ELIGIBLE FOR TIP OR THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN? If you currently contribute to TIP, deductions will be taken from your bonus payments. Bonus payments will also be included in the calculation of the company contributions to that program. Deductions are not taken for the ESPP. WHAT IF MY JOB GRADE AND BONUS TARGET CHANGE DURING THE BONUS PERIOD? Delivering well-designed, high-quality products on time is a company-wide effort. Similarly, everyone can play a role in reducing expenses. Working together, we can have an impact -- whether it's improving processes to increase customer satisfaction or finding ways to cut waste and reduce expenses. The daily improvements we can make ultimately add up to affect the "bottom line." Your bonus payment will be based on the job grade effective at the end of the bonus period. WHAT IF I CHANGE WORK SHIFTS? Because shift differential paid during the bonus period is included as part of your earnings for the bonus calculation, your bonus payment will already take into consideration any shift differential earnings that you may have for the period. -4- 6 WHAT IF I TRANSFER BUSINESS UNITS OR CHANGE STATUS BETWEEN FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME? If you transfer between business units, your earnings records transfer with you. Since your bonus payment is based on your accumulated paid earnings for the bonus period, your bonus calculation will take into account any change in reporting organization or change-in such (such as part-time to full-time or full-time to part-time). WHAT IF I AM ON A LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR DISABILITY FOR PART OF THE BONUS PERIOD? The bonus is paid based on your earnings while actively at work during the period (not on short-term disability, long-term disability or other leave of absence). So, any pay received during your leave of absence will be excluded from your accumulated paid earnings for bonus calculation purposes. -5- 7 Analog Devices, Inc.

   3


the date of grant or prior to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Company.

        (f)     EXERCISE PERIOD UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY. Notwithstanding the

        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

                        (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 or
other non-cash consideration 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



                                       -3-


   4


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
option. 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 five (5) 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 increased,
decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities of the Company, or (y) additional shares or new or different shares
or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with
respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, through or as a
result of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction with
respect to such shares of Common Stock, or other securities, 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


                                       -4-


   5


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)     In the event that the Company is merged or consolidated into or
with another corporation (in which consolidation or merger the stockholders of
the Company receive distributions of cash or securities of another issuer as a
result thereof), or in the event that all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company is acquired by any other person or entity, or in the event of a
reorganization or liquidation of the Company, 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 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



                                       -5-


   6


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 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



                                       -6-


   7


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 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.

(12) equal installments on the first day of each calendar month included in the
Term; and for any portion of a calendar month at the beginning or end of the
Term, at the applicable rate payable in advance for such portion. Tenant shall
pay the Debt Service Portion of Fixed Rent directly to the Lender in accordance
with the debt service payment requirements of the financing.

        4.2     ADDITIONAL RENT. In order that the Fixed Rent shall be
absolutely net to Landlord, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, as Additional
Rent, taxes, betterment assessments, insurance costs, and utilities' charges
with respect to the Premises as provided in this Section 4.2 as follows:

                4.2.1   REAL ESTATE TAXES. Tenant shall pay, directly to the
authority charged with collection thereof, all taxes levied or assessed by, or
becoming payable to the municipality or any governmental authority having
jurisdiction of the Premises, for or in respect of the Premises or which may
become a lien on the Premises, for each tax period wholly included in the Term,
all such payments to be made not less than five (5) days prior to the last date
on which the same may be paid without interest or penalty, and Tenant shall
promptly after payment thereof furnish



                                      -14-


   15


Landlord reasonable evidence of each such payment; provided that for any
fraction of a tax period included in the Term at the beginning or end thereof,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of invoice
therefor, the fraction of taxes so levied or assessed or becoming payable which
is allocable to such included period and Landlord shall pay such taxes to the
authority charged with collection thereof. If Tenant shall deem itself aggrieved
by any such tax or charge and shall elect to contest the payment thereof, Tenant
may make such payment under protest or if postponement of such payment will not
jeopardize Landlord's title to the Premises, Tenant may postpone the same,
provided that it shall secure such payment and the interest and penalties
thereon and the costs of the contest by causing to be delivered to Landlord cash
or other security satisfactory to Landlord, in form and amount satisfactory to
Landlord, which amount shall not be greater than one hundred and ten percent
(110%) of the contested tax or charge. Landlord shall, at Tenant's request, pay
all or any part of such contested items out of any sums so delivered. When any
such contested items shall have been paid or cancelled, any sums so delivered
and not used for such payment shall be repaid to Tenant. Either party paying any
tax shall be entitled to recover, receive and retain for its own benefit all
abatements and refunds of such tax, unless it has previously been reimbursed by
the other party. Neither party shall settle or discontinue any abatement
proceedings begun by it without first giving the other party written notice of
its intent so to do and reasonable opportunity to go forward with or to be
substituted in such proceedings. Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however,
require Tenant to pay any franchise,


                                      -15-


   16


corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of
Landlord, or any income, profits or revenue tax or charge upon the rent payable
by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if, at any time during the
Term, under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision
thereof in which the Premises are situated, there shall be adopted some other
method of taxation on real estate as a substitute in whole or in part for taxes
on real estate as now constituted, such as a tax on the Fixed Rent, Additional
Rent or the other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, by whatever name called,
levied, assessed or imposed against Landlord or the Rent or other charges
payable hereunder to Landlord, (which substitute tax on the Fixed Rent,
Additional Rent, or other charges or other substitute method of taxation are
hereinafter collectively referred to as ("Substitute Taxes"), Tenant, to the
extent that such Substitute Taxes are means of raising revenue from real estate
shall pay Substitute Taxes as soon as the same shall become due and payable. In
the event that any such Substitute Taxes shall be based upon the income of
Landlord, then Tenant's obligation with respect to the aforesaid Substitute
Taxes shall be limited to the amount thereof as computed at the rates that would
be payable if the same were the sole taxable net income of Landlord.

                4.2.2   BETTERMENT ASSESSMENTS. Tenant shall pay, directly to
the authority charged with the collection thereof, each installment of all
public, special or betterment assessment levied or assessed by or becoming
payable to any municipality or other governmental authority having jurisdiction
of the Premises, for or in respect of the Premises for each installment period
partially or wholly included in the Term,



                                      -16-


   17


all such payments to be made not less than five (5) days prior to the last date
on which the same may be made without interest or penalty; provided, however,
that Tenant shall not be required to pay any such assessment resulting from work
done by the municipality or other governmental authority which is set forth in
EXHIBIT C (including Tenant's Plans incorporated into EXHIBIT C pursuant to
Section 3.1) as Improvement Work and provided also that for any fraction of an
installment period included in the Term at the end thereof, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of invoice therefor, the fraction
of such installment allocable to such included period. Tenant shall promptly
after payment thereof furnish to Landlord reasonable evidence of each such
payment. Without postponing the foregoing payments, Tenant may prosecute
appropriate proceedings to contest the validity or amount of any assessment with
respect to which Tenant is required to make payments as hereinbefore provided,
such proceedings to be conducted jointly with any other parties, including
Landlord, who have contributed to the payment of such assessments, and Tenant
agrees to save Landlord harmless from all costs and expenses incurred on account
of Tenant's participation in such proceedings. Landlord, without obligating
itself to incur any costs or expenses in connection faith such proceedings,
shall cooperate with Tenant with respect to such proceedings so far as
reasonably necessary. Landlord shall promptly furnish to Tenant a copy of any
notice of any public, special or betterment assessment received by Landlord
concerning the Premises. Any refunds received on account of any assessment paid
by Tenant shall belong to Tenant.

                4.2.3   TAX FUND PAYMENTS. If and when requested by Lender,
Tenant shall as Additional Rent, on the first day of each month of the term,
make tax fund payments to Lender. "Tax fund payments" refer to such payments as
Lender shall reasonably determine to be sufficient to provide in the aggregate a
fund adequate to pay all taxes and assessments referred to in subsections 4.2.1
and 4.2.2 of this Section 4.2 when they become due and payable. If the aggregate
of said tax fund payments is not adequate to pay all said taxes and assessments,
Tenant shall pay to Lender the amount by which such aggregate is less than the
amount equal to all said taxes and assessments, such payment to be made on or
before the later of (a) ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice
from Lender of such amount, or (b) the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the last
day on which such taxes and assessments may be paid without interest or penalty.
If Tenant shall have made the aforesaid payments, Lender shall on or before the
last day on which the same may be paid without interest or penalty, pay to the
proper authority charged with the collection thereof all taxes and assessments
referred to in said subsections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 and furnish Tenant, upon
request, reasonable evidence of such payment. Any balance remaining after such
payment by Lender shall be accounted for to Tenant annually. All payments made
by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.3 shall, to the extent thereof,
relieve Tenant of its obligations under said subsections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.

                4.2.4   INSURANCE. Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, take out
and maintain throughout the Term the following insurance:


                                      -18-


   19


                  4.2.4.1    Fire insurance on an all-risks basis, including
earthquake and flood, debris removal and demolition, and coverage for increased
costs of construction, if applicable, in an amount at least equal to the
replacement cost of the existing building on the Premises, as such replacement
cost may from time to time be determined by agreement or by appraisal made at
Tenant's expense by an accredited insurance appraiser approved by Landlord which
may be required by either party whenever three (3) years have elapsed since the
last such agreement or appraisal, or alterations or additions increasing cost
have been made.

                  4.2.4.2    Comprehensive liability insurance indemnifying 
Landlord and Tenant against all claims and demands for any injury to person or
property which may be claimed to have occurred on the Premises, in amounts which
shall, at the beginning of the Term, be at least equal to the limits set forth
in Section 1.1, and, from time to time during the Term, shall be for such higher
limits, if any, as are customarily carried in the area in which the Premises are
located on property similar to the Premises and used for similar purposes; and
workmen's compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant's
employees working on the Premises.

                  4.2.4.3    Insurance against loss or damage from sprinklers 
and from leakage or explosion or cracking of boilers, pipes carrying steam or 
water, or both, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, in comprehensive form 
and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require, initially $1,000,000. 
Also, insurance



                                      -19-


   20


against such other hazards as may from time to time be reasonably required by
Lender.

               4.2.4.4    Policies of insurance required under the provisions 
of Section 4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.3 shall name Landlord and Tenant, as their 
interests may appear, but shall, in case of loss, be first payable to Lender 
under a standard mortgagee's clause. If at any time there is no Lender, such 
policies shall instead be payable to a commercial bank or trust company in 
Massachusetts having combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million 
dollars ($50,000,000.00) selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord (the 
"Proceeds Trustee"). All such policies shall be obtained from responsible 
companies qualified to do business in Massachusetts and in good standing 
therein and shall be in a form and from a company approved by Lender. Each such
policy shall be non-cancelable without at least twenty (20) days' prior written
notice to Landlord and Lender. In the event provision for any such insurance is
to be by a blanket insurance policy the policy shall allocate a specific and 
sufficient amount of coverage to the Premises or otherwise provide that the 
Premises is insured up to 100% of its replacement value at all times and in all
circumstances. Upon request, Tenant shall furnish Landlord and Lender with a
copy of all insurance policies. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates
from the insurance company stating that such policies and any renewals thereof
are in force with respect to the Premises prior to the beginning of the Term and
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the policies they renew.


                                      -20-


   21


                4.2.4.5   All insurance which is carried by either party with
respect to the Premises, whether or not required, shall include provisions which
either designate the other party as one of the insured or deny to the insurer
acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery against the other party to the
extent such rights have been waived by the insured party prior to occurrence of
loss or injury, insofar as, and to the extent that such provisions may be
effective without making it impossible to obtain insurance coverage from
responsible companies qualified to do business in Massachusetts (even though
extra premium may result therefrom). In the event that extra premium is payable
by either party as a result of this provision, the other party shall reimburse
the party paying such premium the amount of such extra premium. If at the
request of one party, this non-subrogation provision is waived, then the
obligation of reimbursement shall cease for such period of time as such waiver
shall be effective, but nothing contained in this subsection shall derogate from
or otherwise affect releases elsewhere herein contained of either party for
claims. Each party shall be entitled to have duplicates or certificates of any
policies containing such provisions. Each party hereby waives all rights of
recovery against the other for loss or injury against which the waiving party is
protected by insurance containing said provisions, reserving, however, any
rights with respect to any excess of loss or injury over the amount recovered by
such insurance. 

        4.2.5   UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay directly to the proper authorities
charged with the collection thereof all charges for water, sewer, gas,
electricity, telephone and other utilities or services used or consumed on the
Premises, whether


                                      -21-


   22


called charge, tax, assessment, fee or otherwise, including, without limitation,
water and sewer use charges and taxes, if any, all such charges to be paid as
the same from time to time become due.

accordance with this subsection. Tenant shall have the right from time to time

                                      -27-


   28


        No Alteration shall be made without Landlord's prior consent if: the
proposed Alteration would affect the exterior appearance of the building or the
structural portions thereof; or the proposed Alteration would change the general
character of the building or impair the usefulness of the Premises or reduce the
fair market value of the Premises below such value immediately before such
Alteration or diminish the net rentable area of the building. Each Alteration
which does not require Landlord's consent pursuant to this subsection is
hereinafter called a "permitted alteration". However, prior to commencing a
permitted alteration, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of each permitted
alteration the cost of which would exceed the higher of (a) $150,000 or (b) the
product of $150,000 multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the
Consumer's Price Index for all Urban Consumers as published for the City of
Boston by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor (Base
Year 1985 = 100) for the most recent bi-monthly period ending next prior to the
date of the Alteration proposal and the denominator of which shall be such Index
as so published for the most recent bi-monthly period ending next prior to the
Commencement Date, which notice shall fully describe the nature of such
permitted alteration. If such Index is not then being published, the computation
shall be made using that Index specified by such Bureau or its successor
governmental agency as being most comparable thereto. In the event that the
permitted alteration would require unusual expense to readapt the Premises to
normal business office use upon termination of the Lease, Landlord shall have
the option to require Tenant to remove such permitted alteration upon the
termination of the Lease at Tenant's sole cost and



                                      -28-


   29


expense and otherwise in accordance with this Lease. Landlord shall notify
Tenant of its election to require Tenant to remove the permitted alteration and
restore the Premises within ten (10) business days of Landlord's receipt of
Tenant's notice.

        Except for permitted alterations: (1) each Alteration shall be made
under the supervision of an architect or engineer selected by Tenant and
approved by Landlord and Lender, and shall be made in accordance with detailed
plans and specifications prepared by such architect or engineer in accordance
with Article III hereof; and (2) copies of the plans and specifications for each
Alteration shall be delivered to Landlord and Lender and shall be subject to
Landlord's and Lender's prior written approval which shall be deemed to have
been given if neither Landlord nor Lender objects within fifteen (15) days of
receipt of the plans and specifications. Copies of any plans and specifications
developed for use in Alterations, whether or not requiring Landlord's approval,
and any information which Tenant is required to submit to the Town of Norwood
Building Department with regard to Alterations, shall be sent to Landlord and
Lender. All plans and specifications sent to Lender shall be clearly identified
as relating to the Premises.

        All Alterations shall be made by Tenant with reasonable diligence and
dispatch in a first-class manner and with first-class materials and workmanship.

        Before any Alterations are begun, Tenant shall procure, at its expense,
all necessary licenses, permits and approvals. Upon Tenant's request, Landlord
shall join in the Application for such licenses, permits, approvals and
authorizations whenever



                                      -29-


   30


such action is necessary but shall have no obligation to incur any out-of-pocket
expense in connection therewith.

        Promptly after the completion of any Alteration, Tenant shall procure,
at Tenant's expense, all such approvals by governmental authorities, if any, of
the completed Alteration as may be required by any applicable law or ordinance
or any applicable rule or regulation of governmental authorities, and all such
insurance organizations' approvals, if any, as may be required or customary in
connection therewith, and promptly deliver photocopies thereof to Landlord.

        Nothing contained in this Lease shall constitute any consent or request
by Landlord, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or
the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or
any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right power or authority to contract
for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any
claim against Landlord or the Premises in respect thereof.

        All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with the
making of Alterations permitted by this subsection may be dealt with by Tenant
as its own property and Tenant shall be entitled to all salvage resulting
therefrom.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              LANDLORD'S COVENANTS

        6.1     AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Landlord hereby agrees to affirmatively

                                   ARTICLE VII

                           CASUALTY AND EMINENT DOMAIN

destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice
thereof, and Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall promptly and with due
diligence proceed to repair and restore the Premises to substantially their
condition immediately prior to such occurrence, with such alterations as Tenant
may elect in accordance with Section 5.2.3. Such repair and restoration shall be
subject to the same terms and conditions as are imposed on alterations by
Section 5.2.3.

                7.1.1   All insurance proceeds received by Lender or the
Proceeds Trustee, as the case may be, on account of such damage or destruction
less the actual cost, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with
adjustment and collection of the loss, shall be applied by Lender or the
Proceeds Trustee, as the case may be, to pay or reimburse Tenant for the payment
of the cost of restoration, including the cost of temporary repairs and the
protection of property pending the completion of restoration. Such proceeds
shall be paid out from time to time as such restoration progresses upon the
request of Tenant, and upon Tenant providing Lender or the Proceeds Trustee with
reasonable evidence that: (a) the amount of proceeds


                                      -31-


   32


remaining after each payment to Tenant will be sufficient to complete the
restoration and (b) the Premises are not subject to any liens arising from the
restoration. Any such proceeds remaining after completion of the restoration
shall be paid to Tenant.

                7.1.2   If during the last three (3) years of the Term the
Premises or any part thereof is substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or
other casualty, and such damage or destruction cannot in the opinion of an
independent professional engineer selected by Tenant to whom neither Landlord or
Lender have made a reasonable objection within five (5) business days after
receipt of written notice of the identity thereof, be repaired within sixty (60)
days from the date on which the casualty loss occurs, then Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within thirty (30)
days after the date of such casualty loss effective thirty (30) days after such
notice is received by Landlord. Simultaneously with the giving of such notice by
Tenant, Tenant shall: (a) pay or assign to Landlord all sums recoverable under
policies of insurance covering the building on the Premises; and (b) pay to
Landlord the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for the period up to and including
the termination date. Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall not abate by reason
of such casualty loss, except that if Tenant exercises its right to terminate
under this Section, the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated to the
termination date.

        7.2     TAKING.

                7.2.1   If the whole of the Premises shall be taken for any
public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain
(hereinafter referred to as "taking"), then this Lease shall automatically
terminate as of the date that possession is taken by the taking authority.

                7.2.2   If there is a partial taking of the Premises, then, to
the extent of the net taking award recovered by Landlord, Landlord shall
promptly and with due diligence restore the Premises or what may-remain thereof
to an economically operable facility substantially comparable to their condition
prior to such taking subject to the following:

                7.2.2.1   If such partial taking completely deprives Tenant of
all access to the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to
Landlord within thirty (30) days of such partial taking; or, if such partial
taking reduced the floor area of the building on the Premises by more than
twenty percent (20%) or reduces the parking area on the Premises by more than
twenty percent (20%), then either party may terminate this Lease by notice given
to the other within thirty (30) days after such partial taking and effective
thirty (30) days after such notice is received by the other party; except that
such termination by Landlord shall be ineffective if Tenant shall extend the
Term pursuant to Section 11.1 or shall elect to expand pursuant to Section 11.2
or purchase the Premises pursuant to Section 11.5 (in the latter case, the
entire taking award shall be assigned to Tenant). If this Lease is



                                      -33-


   34


so terminated, the termination shall be effective as of the date that possession
is taken by the taking authority.

                7.2.2.2   If the Premises are not, in fact, restored as provided
in the introductory paragraph to this Section 7.2.2 within nine (9) months from
the date when the taking authority takes possession of the part of the Premises
so taken, Tenant may terminate this Lease, at any time following such nine (9)
month period until the Premises are so restored, by written notice given to
Landlord specifying a termination date thirty (30) days after such notice is
received by Landlord, provided, however, that such termination shall not be
effective if the Premises are in fact so restored before the expiration of such
30-day period.

                7.2.2.3   If, during the last year of the Term more than ten
percent (10%) of the floor area of the building on the Premises or more than
twenty percent (20%) of the parking area on the Premises is so partially taken,
either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other
given within thirty (30) days after the date of such partial taking and
effective thirty (30) days after such notice is received by the other party;
except that any such termination by Landlord shall be ineffective if Tenant
shall forthwith extend the Term pursuant to Section 11.1 or shall elect to
expand pursuant to Section 11.2 or purchase the Premises pursuant to Section
11.5 (in the latter case, the entire taking award shall be assigned to Tenant).

                7.2.2.4   If this Lease is not terminated as provided in this
Section 7.2.2, a just proportion of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be
suspended or abated, according to the nature and extent of the partial taking
from



                                      -34-


   35


the date that the taking authority takes possession or when Tenant is deprived
of its practical use of the Premises, whichever occurs first, to the date that
Tenant's use of the Premises shall be so restored, and thereafter a just
proportion of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated for the balance
of the Term according to the nature and extent of such partial taking.

                7.2.3   Landlord reserves to itself all rights to receive all
awards, damages and compensation accruing by reason of any taking referred to in
Section 7.2, except as otherwise provided in such Section, and Tenant hereby
releases and assigns to Landlord all such rights, except for such awards,
damages or compensation as may be separately awarded for Tenant's personal
property, trade fixtures and moving expenses.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                    DEFAULTS

        8.1     EVENTS OF DEFAULT. (a) If Tenant shall default in the
performance of any of its obligations to pay the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent
hereunder and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice
from Landlord designating such default or (b) if within thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying any other default or defaults
Tenant has not commenced diligently to correct the default or defaults so
specified or has not thereafter diligently pursued such correction to
completion, or (c) if any assignment shall be made by Tenant for the benefit of
creditors, or (d) if Tenant's leasehold interest shall be taken on execution, or
(e) if a lien or other involuntary encumbrance is filed against Tenant's



                                      -35-


   36


leasehold interest and is not discharged within thirty (30) days thereafter or
(f) if a petition is filed by Tenant for adjudication as a bankrupt, or for
reorganization or an arrangement under any provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
as then in force and effect, or (g) if an involuntary petition under any of the
provisions of said Bankruptcy Code is filed against Tenant and such involuntary
petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days thereafter, then, and in any
of such cases, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord lawfully may,
immediately or at any time thereafter and without demand or notice and with or
without process of law, enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in
the name of the whole or mail a notice of termination addressed to Tenant at the
Premises, and repossess the same as of Landlord's former estate and expel Tenant
and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove its and their effects
without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to
any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach
of covenant, and upon such entry or mailing as aforesaid this Lease shall
terminate.

        8.2     REMEDIES. In the event that this Lease is terminated under any
of the provisions contained in Section 8.1 or shall be otherwise terminated for
breach of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants to pay forthwith to
Landlord, as compensation, the excess of the total rent reserved for the residue
of the Term over the rental value of the Premises for said residue of the Term,
discounted to the date of such termination at the rate of nine percent (9%). In
calculating the rent reserved there shall be included, in addition to the Fixed
Rent and Additional Rent, the value


                                      -36-


   37


of all other considerations agreed herein to be paid or performed by Tenant for
said residue. Tenant further covenants as an additional and cumulative
obligation after any such termination to pay punctually to Landlord all the sums
and perform all the obligations which Tenant covenants in this Lease to pay and
to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same time as if
this Lease had not been terminated. In calculating the amounts to be paid by
Tenant pursuant to the next preceding sentence Tenant shall be credited with any
amount paid to Landlord as compensation as in this Section 8.2 provided and also
with the net proceeds of any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the
Premises, after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with such
reletting, including, without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, fees for legal services and expenses of preparing the
Premises for such reletting, it being agreed by Tenant that Landlord may (i)
relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, for a term or terms which may
at Landlord's option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and (ii) make such
alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its
reasonable judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same. Landlord
agrees to use due diligence in seeking to relet the Premises under this Section.

        8.3     REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Any and all rights and remedies which
Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity, shall be cumulative
and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all
such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted
by law.



                                      -37-


   38


        8.4     LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. If Tenant shall default in
the performance or observance of any term or condition in this Lease and shall
not cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord
specifying the default or, in the case of a default which cannot reasonably be
cured within such 30-day period, commence to cure such default within such
30-day period and thereafter proceed with diligence to complete such cure,
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such default by Tenant under
this Lease; and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord, including attorneys' reasonable fees, in curing a default shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand, together with interest at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum thereon from the date of payment by Landlord to
the date of payment by Tenant.

        8.5     TENANT'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT. If Landlord shall default in the
performance or observance of any term or condition in this Lease and shall not
cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice to Landlord specifying
the default or, in the case of a default which cannot reasonably be cured within
such 30-day period, commence to cure such default within such 30-day period and
thereafter proceed with diligence to complete such cure, Tenant may, but shall
not be obligated to, cure such default, notwithstanding the fact that no
specific provision for such substituted performance is made in this Lease with
respect to such default, and except that in case of an emergency Tenant may
commence to cure the default immediately and shall only be obligated to notify
Landlord of the event promptly thereafter. So long as there shall be a Lender
holding a first mortgage of the Premises which has been



                                      -38-


   39


approved by Tenant, Tenant shall, as a precondition to the exercise by Tenant of
Tenant's rights under this Section 8.5, send Lender a copy of any notice to
Landlord hereunder, simultaneously with the sending of such notice to Landlord,
Tenant agrees to accept the curing of the default by Lender as if Landlord had
cured such default. tn performing such obligation, Tenant may make any payment
of money or perform any other acts. All sums so paid by Tenant (together with
interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum) and all necessary
incidental costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal
fees in connection with enforcement of its rights under this Section by Tenant,
shall be payable to Tenant by Landlord immediately on demand made upon Landlord,
of which copy is given simultaneously to Lender. If such sums, interest, costs
and expenses are not paid within thirty (30) days after such demand, Tenant may
deduct the same from the Fixed Rent thereafter accruing, provided that such
deductions shall not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in any one month.
Tenant may exercise its rights under this Section without waiving any other of
its rights or releasing Landlord from any of its obligations under this Lease.

        8.6     NO WAIVER, ETC. The failure of the non-defaulting party to seek
redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any
covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such
violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted
a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The
receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this
Lease shall not be deemed to have



                                      -39-


   40


been a waiver of such breach by Landlord, or by Tenant, unless such waiver be in
writing signed by the party to be charged. No consent or waiver, express or
implied, by the non-defaulting party to or of any breach of any agreement or
duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the
same or any other agreement or duty.

        8.7     NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No acceptance by Landlord of a
lesser sum than the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due
shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such
rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or
pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                               MORTGAGEE'S RIGHTS

        9.1     SUPERIORITY OF LEASE. This Lease shall be superior to and shall
not be subordinated to any mortgage or other voluntary lien or other encumbrance
on the Premises. Until it shall enter and take possession of the Premises for
the purpose of foreclosure, Lender shall have only such rights of Landlord as
are necessary to preserve the integrity of this Lease as security. Upon entry
and taking possession of the Premises for the purpose of foreclosure, Lender
shall have all the rights of Landlord. Lender shall not be liable either as
mortgagee or as assignee, to perform,



                                      -40-


   41


or be liable in damages for failure to perform, any of the obligations of
Landlord unless and until Lender shall enter and take possession of the Premises
for the purpose of foreclosure. Upon entry for the purpose of foreclosure,
Lender shall be liable to perform all of the obligations of Landlord arising
after such entry and without limitation shall be subject to and bound by
Tenant's rights to extend the Term or expand or purchase the Premises pursuant
to Article XI, provided that a discontinuance of any foreclosure proceeding
shall be deemed a conveyance under said provisions to the owner of the equity of
the Premises. No Fixed Rent shall be paid more than (1) one month prior to the
due date thereof and payments made in violation of this provision shall (except
to the extent that such payments are actually received by Lender in possession
or in the process of foreclosing its mortgage) be a nullity as against Lender
and Tenant shall be liable for the amount of such payments to Lender.

                                    ARTICLE X

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

        10.1    NOTICES FROM ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER. All notices, approvals,
consents, requests, and elections required or permitted under this Lease shall
be in writing and shall be deemed duly served if and when mailed by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Tenant, at the Original
Address of Tenant or such other address as Tenant shall have last designated by
notice in writing to Landlord; if to Landlord, at the Original Address of
Landlord or such other address as Landlord shall have last designated by notice
in writing to Tenant; and if to Lender, at the



                                      -41-


   42


address specified in Landlord's notice to Tenant identifying Lender or at the
address last known to the parties. If either party at any time designates some
other person to receive payments or notices under this Lease, all such payments
or notices thereafter by the other party shall be paid or given to the agent
designated until notice to the contrary is received from the designating party.

        10.2    QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees that upon
Tenant's paying the rent and performing and observing the agreements, conditions
and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and
may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term
hereof subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.

        10.3    LEASE NOT TO BE RECORDED. Neither party shall record this Lease.
Both parties shall, upon the request of either, execute, acknowledge and deliver
a notice or short form of this Lease in recordable form as permitted by
applicable statute.

        10.4    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The obligations of this Lease shall run
with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no
owner of the Premises shall be liable under this Lease except for breaches of
Landlord's obligations occurring while owner of the Premises; provided, however,
that the original Landlord named herein shall remain liable for obligations
accruing before the beginning of the Lease Term and for the obligations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.6.

        10.5    ACTS OF GOD. In any case where either party hereto is required
to do any act, delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God, war, civil
commotion, fire,



                                      -42-


   43


flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, materials or
equipment, government regulations, unusually severe weather, or other causes
beyond such party's reasonable control shall not be counted in determining the
time during which work shall be completed, whether such time be designated by a
fixed date, a fixed time or a "reasonable time," and such time shall be deemed
to be extended by the period of such delay.

        10.6    LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless it shall
fail to perform such obligations and such failure shall continue for a period of
thirty (30) days or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct
any such default after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord
specifying the nature of Landlord's alleged default. So long as Lender's
mortgage is outstanding, Tenant shall send Lender a copy of any notice to
Landlord hereunder, simultaneously with the sending of such notice to Landlord.
Tenant agrees to accept the curing of the default by Lender as if Landlord had
cured such default. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any
default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such default, to offset or
counterclaim against any rent due hereunder except as specifically set forth
herein.

        10.7    BROKERAGE. Each party represents and warrants to the other that
it has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease
other than Meredith & Grew, Incorporated and Stephen J. Kasnet d/b/a Ocean
Manchester Corp. and Landlord shall pay for all fees due brokers.



                                      -43-


   44


        10.8    CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Whenever the consent or approval of
either party is required hereunder, the same shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease.

        10.9    APPLICABLE LAW AND CONSTRUCTION. This Lease shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and, if any provisions of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid, the
remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. This Lease may be
amended, and the provisions hereof may be waived or modified, only by
instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. The titles of the
several Articles and Sections contained herein are for convenience only and
shall not be considered in construing this Lease.

        10.10   ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease shall constitute the entire
agreement between the parties hereto and no oral representation or warranty by
either Landlord or Tenant shall have any force and effect after the date hereof.
This Lease shall supercede all other existing agreements between the Landlord
and Tenant, whether oral or written.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                TENANT'S OPTIONS

        11.1    OPTIONS TO EXTEND. Tenant shall have the right and option to
extend the original Term of this Lease (or the Term as extended pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11.2) provided that Tenant is not in default beyond any
applicable grace periods, for three (3) successive periods of five (5) years
each by giving written notice to Landlord of its exercise thereof on or before
the date which is twelve (12) months


                                      -44-


   45


prior to the expiration of the original Term, or the Term as previously extended
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.1, as the case may be. If such
option is so exercised, all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements
contained herein shall apply during the respective extended Terms, except that
after the exercise of the third (3rd) such option Tenant shall have no further
rights to extend the Term, and except that the Fixed Rent during each such
extension period shall be the Land Rent portion of Fixed Rent plus an amount
necessary to pay the debt service on the mortgage loan on the Premises existing
at such time.

        The word "Term" refers as of any particular time to the original Term,
or the original Term as extended pursuant to Section 11.2, and (where the
context admits) also to any extension thereof with respect to which Tenant has,
as of that time exercised its option to extend as set forth in this Section
11.1.

        Tenant shall be required to make a payment to Landlord, as additional
rent, upon a termination of this Lease whether occurring through Tenant's
default or expiration of the original or any extended Term as follows. If the
Term of this Lease expires through non-exercise of an extension option (or
exercise of all extension options), then, on the date which is sixty (60) days
prior to the termination of the applicable Term, Tenant shall make a lump sum
payment to Landlord as additional rent hereunder in an amount sufficient to
reduce the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or any
refinancing thereof (whether in one or more loans, including a loan from Tenant)
(either such principal amount or aggregate



                                      -45-


   46


principal amount sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Outstanding
Principal"), to the following total or aggregate as the case may be, principal
amounts:

                           End of
                           Year 15          $6,500,000
                           Year 20          $5,312,000
                           Year 25          $3,300,000
                           Year 30          $0.00

        If the Lease terminates because of Tenant's default, the payment which
Tenant is obligated to make shall be the payment for the year which is nearest
in time to the date the Lease terminated discounted to the then present value
calculated using a term equal to the term which would have remained under the
Lease absent such termination and an interest factor equal to the yield of U.S.
Treasury Notes with a maturity matching the balance of the Term. Such payment
shall be due and payable on the date the Lease terminates.

        11.2    OPTION TO EXPAND. Tenant shall have the right and option to
expand the existing 135,000 square foot building on the Premises (the
"Building") or to construct an additional building or buildings on the Premises.
The party hereto responsible for constructing the Additional Building is
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Responsible Party." Such expansion, at
Tenant's reasonable discretion, may be in any amount up to the maximum square
footage allowed as of right on the Premises and in any location allowed as of
right on the Premises under applicable zoning laws and other federal, state and
local laws and regulations:

                (a)     Said option shall be exercisable prior to the expiration
of the Term, as it may be extended pursuant to Section 11.1, and, if not so
exercised, Tenant



                                      -46-


   47


and Landlord shall have no further rights and obligations, respectively, to
expand the Premises under this Section 11.2.

                (b)     At the time such option is exercisable, Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing of (i) Tenant's intention to expand the Building on
the Premises, but without any obligation to do so except as hereinafter
provided, and (ii) whether Tenant shall be the Responsible Party. Tenant's
notice shall be accompanied by plans and specifications (the "Addition Plans")
for an additional building or expansion to the existing building on the Premises
(the "Additional Building") prepared at Tenant's expense, which Addition Plans
(i) shall be reasonably consistent with the finish and design of the Building as
it exists at such time, (ii) shall not change the general character of the
Building, (iii) shall not impair the usefulness of the Premises, (iv) shall not
reduce the fair market value of the Premises below such value immediately before
such Addition, or (v) shall not diminish the net rentable area of the Building.
If Tenant elects to be the Responsible Party, then the "Estimates" (as
hereinafter defined) shall also accompany such notice. Landlord shall review the
Addition Plans (and the Estimates, if applicable) and notify Tenant whether
Landlord concurs or does not concur (and, if not, in what respect) that the
submissions are in compliance with the above-referenced standards within sixty
(60) days of Tenant's notification. Tenant shall also send the Addition Plans to
Lender for approval but the Addition Plans shall be deemed approved by Lender
unless within ten (10) days after Lender receives the same Lender has given
Landlord and Tenant notice of objections thereto in reasonable detail.



                                      -47-


   48


        If Landlord is the Responsible Party, then upon the date Landlord
approves the Addition Plans, Landlord shall present Tenant with construction
cost and time schedule, estimates (the "Estimates"). Such construction cost
estimates shall be based upon competitive bids which the Responsible Party shall
be required to solicit. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Estimates,
Tenant shall confirm to Landlord its intention to expand or withdraw its notice
of intention to expand.

        Upon approval of the Addition Plans, Tenant shall use its best efforts
to obtain financing for the construction of the Addition (the "New Mortgage
Loan") amortizable over a thirty (30) year period and with a rate of interest
and other terms satisfactory to Tenant and otherwise consistent with the
requirements of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 3.8 other
than the condition set forth in Subsection 3.8(a)), which terms in any event
shall not cause this Lease to be treated as a capital lease under the rules of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and which shall provide that this
Lease will be superior to the New Mortgage Loan and non-recourse to the Landlord
or its beneficiaries. The amount of the New Mortgage Loan shall be limited to an
amount providing one hundred percent (100%) financing of only the following
costs (collectively, the "Addition Costs"): (1) the actual costs of construction
of the Additional Building, including architectural and engineering fees and a
reasonable contractor's profit; (2) interest actually incurred during the
construction period by Landlord in connection with the Additional Building; and
(3) "soft costs," which shall be limited to legal fees, real estate taxes during
the construction period and other commissions and fees in connection with the



                                      -48-


   49


Additional Building which are reasonably identified in advance. If, in order to
secure the New Mortgage Loan, it is necessary to refinance the Premises, the New
Mortgage Loan shall also include such amounts (collectively, the "Existing Loan
Costs") as are necessary to be paid to Lender to discharge the then existing
financing, including, without limitation, prepayment premiums or charges. The
Responsible Party shall provide the other party with evidence of all expenses
upon which the New Mortgage Loan is based.

        If Tenant is unable to obtain a New Mortgage Loan reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant and consistent with the requirements of this Lease, then
Tenant's notice of intention to expand shall be deemed withdrawn unless, within
forty-five (45) business days of such determination, Tenant notifies Landlord
that Tenant shall proceed with the construction of the Additional Building at
Tenant's sole cost and expense as provided herein (the "Tenant Financed
Expansion Option").

        If such option to expand is so exercised and Landlord is the Responsible
Party, Landlord agrees to construct or cause to be constructed the Additional
Building solely at Landlord's expense to the extent of the New Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the Addition Plans and on the following terms and conditions:

                (i)     under the supervision of an architect or engineer; and

                (ii)    all work shall be done in a good workmanlike manner
        employing first quality materials and so as to conform to all applicable
        building and zoning laws and all other applicable laws, ordinances,
        codes, regulations and orders of any authority having jurisdiction.

If the option to expand is so exercised and Tenant is the Responsible Party but
has not elected the Tenant Financed Option, Tenant agrees to construct or cause
to be constructed the Additional Building solely at Landlord's expense to the
extent of the New Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the Addition Plans and
the terms and conditions of Section 5.2.3 of the Lease. If such option to expand
is so exercised and Tenant has elected the Tenant Financed Option, then, in any
case, Tenant shall be the Responsible Party and shall construct or cause to be
constructed the Additional Building at Tenant's sole expense in accordance with
the Addition Plans and the terms and conditions of Section 5.2.3 of this Lease.

        The party which is not the Responsible Party or its representatives may
enter upon the Additional Building during the progress of the work to inspect
the progress thereof and to determine if the work is being performed in
accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.2. All change orders
requested by Tenant shall be conformed to the terms and provisions of Section
3.7 hereof. Landlord shall have no obligation and Tenant shall have no right to
construct the Additional Building if such construction shall cause the Premises,
or the buildings or other improvements thereon to be in violation of any
applicable zoning or building code or other law ordinance or regulation.

        Upon exercise of the option under this Section and provided Tenant has
not exercised the Tenant Financed Option, the Term shall be extended to a date
which is fifteen (15) years after the Addition Commencement Date, which shall be
the earlier of (a) the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date on which
all of the following



                                      -50-


   51


conditions have been met: (i) all of the work required to be performed by the
Responsible Party in accordance with the Addition Plans has been substantially
completed; (ii) either party, as the case may be, shall have received a
certificate from the Responsible Party's construction representative certifying
such substantial completion; (iii) a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by
the Town of Norwood permitting the occupancy of the Additional Building for the
Permitted Uses containing no exceptions which interfere with the use of the
Premises for Permitted Uses; (iv) all utilities to the Premises have been
installed and put in good working order; (v) the Premises may legally be used
for office, light manufacturing research and development or warehousing use and
comply with applicable provisions of the Town of Norwood Zoning By-Law, (vi) the
Premises are then free from all encumbrances or other matters affecting record
title, except as set forth in EXHIBIT D or otherwise approved by the party not
responsible for construction, as evidenced by an opinion letter so stating
addressed to such party from counsel selected by the Responsible Party and
reasonably acceptable to the other party, accompanied by a survey from a
reputable registered engineer or registered land surveyor certifying to Tenant
and Landlord that there are no encroachments on the premises or structures on
the premises which extend across the boundary lines of the premises and that the
access roads and utility lines have been located on the ground as shown on
EXHIBIT A-1; (vii) the Premises then conform with all applicable environmental
requirements and with the State Building Code, as evidenced by a certificate
from a registered professional engineers and all permits required in relation
thereto have been obtained



                                      -51-

   52





by the Responsible Party; or (b) the commencement by Tenant of its business in
the Additional Building. If Tenant shall have elected the Tenant Financed
Options Tenant may elect whether to extend the Term of this Lease for fifteen
(15) years to a date calculated as set forth above in this paragraph.

        The Responsible Party shall notify the other party thirty (30) days
before the date upon which the Responsible Party, using its best estimate,
participates that such work on the Additional Building will be substantially
completed, but if such notice proves to be given more or less than thirty (30)
days before substantial completions such fact shall not constitute a default by
the Responsible Party under this Lease. The term "substantially completed" as
used herein shall be defined as in Section 2.3 except that the reference to work
to be performed by Tenant shall be to that work required of the Responsible
Party pursuant to the Addition Plans. If the Addition Commencement Date occurs
pursuant to clause (b) of this Section, the Responsible Party shall comply with
the conditions in clause (a) as promptly as possible following the Addition
Commencement Date. Following substantial completion the Responsible Party shall
as promptly as possible complete any uncompleted work, including minor items and
items which earlier were impracticable to perform. Additionally, the Responsible
Party shall proceed as promptly as possible after issuance to eliminate any
exceptions contained in the Certificate of Occupancy.

        Commencing on the Addition Commencement Date, this Lease shall be
amended so as to include within the Building the Additional Building, and all of
the terms conditions covenants and agreements contained in this Lease shall
continue to



                                      -52-


   53


apply, except that the Term shall be extended as, and to the extent, provided
above and if required in order to finance the cost of the Additional Building
the Fixed Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to:

                (a)     The Debt Service portion of the Fixed Rent at the
                        Addition Commencement Date plus additional annual Fixed
                        Rent in an amount necessary to pay the debt service on
                        the mortgage Loan which funded construction of the
                        Additional Building and any costs reasonably associated
                        therewith (in substantial accordance with quotations
                        which formed the basis of the decision to proceed); or

                (b)     If a New Mortgage Loan is obtained which both refinances
                        the existing Mortgage Loan (and any additional loan from
                        Tenant) or any refinancing thereof as well as funds the
                        expansion of the Building, annual rent in an amount
                        necessary to pay the debt service on the New Mortgage
                        Loan; plus

                (c)     The Land Rent portion of the Fixed Rent.

        In the event that Tenant has exercised its option to expand the Building
pursuant to this Section 11.2 and has not elected the Tenant Financed Option,
then, upon the date which the Lease terminates, either pursuant to Tenant's
election not to extend or because of Tenant's default, Tenant shall make the
following payments to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder:



                                      -53-


   54


                (x)     a payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the then
        outstanding principal balance of that portion of the New Mortgage Loan
        which funded the Addition Costs to the percentage of such original
        principal amount shown on Exhibit E-1 for the year nearest in time to
        the date of termination; plus

                (y)     a payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the then
        outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Principal to the amount
        shown on EXHIBIT E-2 for the year nearest in time to the date of
        termination.

If the Tenant has not elected the Tenant Financed Option and the New Mortgage
Loan also refinanced the then existing outstanding Principal then the following
payments shall be made by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder upon
the termination of the Lease:

                (a)     the amount required under clause (x) above; plus

                (b)     a payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the then
        outstanding principal balance of that portion of the New Mortgage Loan
        which funded the Existing Loan Costs to the amount shown on EXHIBIT E-2
        for the year nearest in time to the date of termination. 

If Tenant has elected the Tenant Financed Option and also elects to extend the
Term of the Lease for fifteen (15) years, then Tenant shall make the following
payment as additional rent hereunder upon the termination of the Lease:

                  (a) an amount sufficient to reduce the then outstanding amount
         of the Outstanding Principal to the amount shown on EXHIBIT E-2 for the
         year nearest in time to the date of termination.



                                      -54-


   55


If, in any of the cases set forth in this paragraph. the Lease terminates
because of Tenant's default, then Tenant's required payment or payments, as the
case may be, shall be discounted as provided under Section 11.1 of this Lease.

        When the Addition Commencement Date and the date of the end of the Term
as extended pursuant to this Section 11.2 are determined, such dates shall be
evidenced by a document in form for recording executed by Landlord and Tenant
and delivered each to the other.

        11.3    OPTIONS TO PURCHASE. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the
following options provided, in each case, that Tenant is not in default under
this Lease beyond any applicable grace periods:

        A.      The option to purchase the premises in the event that Landlord
is unwilling or unable (for reasons other than Tenant's financial condition or
Landlord's inability to obtain mortgage financing satisfactory to Tenant and
consistent with the requirements of this Lease) to construct the Additional
Building and to lease the Additional Building to Tenant pursuant to Section 11.2
of this Lease, for a purchase price equal to the sum of:

                (1)     The dollar amount of the then outstanding Mortgage Loan
                        balance or balances of loans secured by the Premises (so
                        long as such loans have been approved and consented to
                        by Tenant) assuming that debt service payments thereon
                        are made on a regular basis as required by the terms of
                        the loans; plus

                (2)     The greater of:



                                      -55-


   56


                        (a)     the amount set forth on EXHIBIT F attached
                                hereto; or

                        (b)     the "Fair Market Value" as determined below;
                                plus

                (3)     Any costs of Landlord associated with the exercise of
                        the option to purchase by Tenant.

        Such option shall be exercisable by notice to Landlord given within one
hundred twenty (120) days of notice from Landlord to Tenant that Landlord is
unwilling or unable (for reasons other than Tenant's financial condition or
Landlord's inability to obtain mortgage financing satisfactory to Tenant and
consistent with the requirements of this Lease) to expand the premises pursuant
to Section 11.2.

        B.      The option to purchase the Premises (which shall include the
Additional Building if the option to expand pursuant to Section 11.2 has been
exercised), either at the expiration of the original Term or at any time after
the original Term of this Lease provided the Term has been extended pursuant to
Section 11.1 hereof. Tenant's option to purchase at the expiration of the
original Term is exercisable by written notice of intention to purchase given on
or before the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the
original Term. Tenant's option to purchase at any time after the original Term
of this Lease may be exercised by written notice of such intention to purchase
given at any time after the original Term of this Lease. However, if after
giving such required notice the closing date for Tenant's purchase under this
clause B does not occur prior to the expiration of any applicable Term of this
Lease, as the case may be, due to Landlord's default, then said Term of this



                                      -56-


   57


Lease shall be extended until such closing date. The purchase price under this
subsection shall be the sum of:

        (1)     The dollar amount of the then outstanding Mortgage Loan balance
                or balances of loans secured by the Premises (so long as such
                loans have been approved by and consented to by Tenant)
                including, without limitation, any loan used to finance the
                Additional Buildings assuming debt service payments thereon are
                made on a regular basis as required by the terms of the loans;
                plus

        (2)     The lesser of:

                (a)     Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) compounded annually at
                        a rate of five percent (5%); or

                (b)     Fair Market Value; plus

        (3)     Any costs of Landlord associated with the exercise of the option
                to purchase.
 
        C.      For purchases made pursuant to this Section, the closing of the
purchase (the "Closing Date") pursuant to clause A. shall occur on the sixtieth
(60th) day after notice by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant's election to purchase
or on the next succeeding business day if such sixtieth (60th) day shall occur
on a nonbusiness day, and if pursuant to clause B., such closing shall occur
either during the twelve (12) month period prior to the expiration of the
original Term if notice is given on or before the date twelve (12) months prior
to the expiration of the original Term or on the thirtieth (30th) day after such
notice or on the next succeeding business day if



                                      -57-


   58


such thirtieth (30th) day shall occur on a nonbusiness day in the event notice
is given after the expiration of the original Term.

        If Tenant exercises any option to purchase pursuant to this Section or
Section 11.4 or 11.5, the purchase price shall be paid by a check or checks
drawn by a Boston bank or banks on the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston or in such
other manner as will make the consideration available in Boston to Landlord for
investment on the Closing Date and the Premises in its then physical condition
shall be simultaneously conveyed at noon on the Closing Date by a good and
sufficient quitclaim deed running to Tenant or such nominee as shall have been
designated by at least thirty (30) days' notice to Landlord, delivered at the
Norfolk Registry of Deeds, conveying a good and clear record and marketable
title thereto subject only to, and with the benefit of, the following matters
effecting the premises on the Closing Date:

                1.      Rights and easements now effecting the premises as
                        described in EXHIBIT D.

                2.      Easements and agreements hereafter affecting the
                        Premises so far as in force and applicable on the
                        Closing Date, voluntarily created by Landlord at any
                        time with Tenant's approval.

                3.      Real estate taxes assessed or to be assessed upon the
                        Premises.

                4.      Balances, if any, remaining due and unpaid on account of
                        betterment assessments on the premises.

                5.      Laws and regulations of any governmental authority.



                                      -58-


   59


                6.      Any changes in the Premises which may have occurred as a
                        result of, and any easements or restrictions imposed by,
                        takings by eminent domain.

        Closing adjustments of the usual and customary items shall be made
between the parties taking into account the provisions of this Lease and the
respective obligations of the parties with respect to the payment of such items.

        In regard to mortgages to which the premises is subject immediately
prior to the purchase, there shall be paid directly by official bank or
certified check to the holder of such mortgage, for the purpose of discharging
the same, such portion of the purchase price as is necessary to pay all amounts
(including without limitation any prepayment penalties) secured by such
mortgages and the remaining balance of the purchase price shall be paid to
Landlord. The preceding sentence shall not require Tenant to pay a purchase
price for the Premises in excess of the amount elsewhere established in this
Lease. In the event Tenant exercises any right to purchase the property pursuant
to the options set forth in clause A. or clause B. of this Section and
thereafter defaults in its obligations to Landlord and fails to complete the
purchase of the Property after having exercised its right to do so, Landlord
shall not seek damages or specific performance against Tenant on account of such
default or failure and such default shall not constitute a default under this
Lease. Landlord shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement by Tenant for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Tenant's exercise
of its purchase right and



                                      -59-


   60


Tenant shall have no further right to purchase pursuant to the option under
which it failed to complete such purchase.

        D.      "Fair Market Value" shall be the fair market value of the
 Premises valued as unimproved and unencumbered by this Lease as determined by
three appraisers, one selected by Landlord one by Tenant, and a third by the two
appraisers so selected, all of whom shall have had at least ten (10) years'
experience in appraising commercial real estate in the greater Boston area. The
appraisers shall be instructed by the parties appointing them to make their
appraisals as if zoning and environmental laws and regulations in effect on the
date of appraisal allow the then existing improvements on the Premises. Further,
such appraisers shall be instructed to make their appraisals within ninety (90)
days after their appointment. If such appraisals are unable to agree on such
fair market value, the average of their three (3) appraisals shall be deemed
such fair market value. The cost of such appraisal shall be borne equally by
Landlord and Tenant.

        11.4    RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Subject to the provisions of subsection
11.4.3 below, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the following right of first
refusal to purchase the Premises provided, that this Lease shall be in effect at
the time of the exercise by Tenant of its rights hereunder and that Tenant is
not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period.

                11.4.1  In the event Landlord shall decide to offer the Premises
for sale, Landlord shall first give notice to Tenant of its intention to sell
the Premises and Tenant shall have the right, for a period of thirty (30) days
after Landlord's notice of



                                      -60-


   61


intention to sell, to notify Landlord of Tenant's interest in purchasing the
Premises. If Tenant so notifies Landlord and the parties agree on a purchase
price the Premises shall be sold by Landlord to Tenant at that price. Landlord
shall not offer to sell the Premises to a third party without first complying
with the above procedures and providing Tenant the opportunity of purchasing the
Premises.

                11.4.2  Landlord shall not sell the Premises to a third party
unless (i) Landlord has received a bona fide written offer to purchase the
Premises, (ii) Landlord has given Tenant a copy of the offer together with (1)
indication that Landlord is willing to accept the offer and (2) an offer by
Landlord to Tenant to sell the Premises on the same terms and conditions set
forth in the offer, and (iii) Tenant shall not have agreed within sixty (60)
days after Tenant's receipt of the notice and offer to purchase the Premises in
accordance with the offer.

        In the event Tenant agrees to purchase the Premises, Tenant shall comply
with all the terms and conditions of the offer, except that in no event shall
Tenant be required to pay the consideration or complete the purchase in less
than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of Landlord's notice and offer.

        In the event Tenant shall not have agreed to purchase the Premises
within the time specified above, Landlord shall have the right to sell the
Premises to any third party in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in the offer.

                11.4.3  The foregoing rights of Tenant set forth in this Section
11.4 shall not be applicable to transfers and sales made to affiliates of
Landlord, immediate family members of Francis J. Perry, Jr., or William J.
Walker or entities of which such



                                      -61-


   62


immediate family members or Francis J. Perry, Jr., William J. Walker own at
least a fifty percent (50%) beneficial interest, and shall not be applicable to
the placing of any bona fide mortgage on the premises pursuant to Section 3.8 or
Section 11.2 of this Lease, to the foreclosure thereof or to the delivery of a
deed or any other transfer in lieu of such foreclosure, as the case may be.

                11.4.4   In the event Tenant exercises any right to purchase the
Premises pursuant to the options set forth in this Section 11.4 and thereafter
defaults in its obligations to Landlord and fails to purchase the Premises,
Landlord shall not seek damages or specific performance of Tenant's obligation
to purchase the Premises and such default shall not constitute a default under
this Lease. Landlord shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement by Tenant for
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Tenant's
exercise of its purchase right and Tenant shall have no further right to
purchase pursuant to the option under which it failed to complete such purchase.

         11.5   PURCHASE RIGHTS FOLLOWING EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event Landlord
elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 7.2, then Tenant shall have
the right for a period of thirty (30) days after such termination to notify
Landlord of Tenant's intention of purchasing the Premises or any remaining
portion thereof owned by Landlord. If Tenant so notifies Landlord of its
intention to purchase the entire Premises, the


                                  [End of page]


                                      -62-


   63

Premises shall be sold by Landlord to Tenant at the applicable purchase price
set forth in either clause A. or clause B. of Section 11.3. If Tenant exercises
its right to purchase the Premises or such remaining portion thereof, the
provisions of Section 11.3 (dealing with the form of the purchase price, the
place of the delivery thereof, the form of the deed, the matters to which the
deed is subject and the closing adjustments) shall apply to the sale, and the
purchase shall occur on the sixtieth (60th) day after Tenant's exercise of its
right to purchase, or on the next succeeding business day if such sixtieth
(60th) day shall occur on a nonbusiness day.

        EXECUTED as a sealed instrument as of the 1st day of May, 1992.

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, The First National Bank of Boston, a national banking
association, having a business address at 100 Federal Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110 (the "Bank"), is this day making a term loan to the Everett

         WHEREAS, the Loan will be evidenced by a Promissory Note of even date
herewith from the Everett Trust to the Bank in the maximum Principal amount of
Nine Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand ($9,750,000.00) Dollars (the "Note");
and

         WHEREAS, it is a condition of the obligation of the Bank to make the
Loan that Analog enter into a Note Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the

pay for the Note in the event of a default under the Note or under the
instruments securing the Note, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Note Purchase Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, it is a condition of Analog executing the Note Purchase
Agreement that the Everett Trust enter into this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and agreement contained herein, and for other valuable consideration,
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1. The Everett Trust will, immediately upon receipt of written demand

this Agreement or under the Mortgage and Security Agreement of even date
herewith from the Everett Trust to Analog (the "Mortgage") securing this
Agreement, all with interest at the default rate of interest set forth in the
Note from the date of any default under this Agreement until reimbursement is
made pursuant to this Agreement, including all costs of collection (including

the Mortgage or other Security Documents (as hereinafter defined) or in the
event Analog is made party to any litigation because of the existence of any
indebtedness hereunder or because of the existence of the Mortgage or Security

         2. This Agreement shall be secured by a Mortgage encumbering certain

Analog should become the holder of the Note pursuant to the terms of the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect

                          EMPLOYEE RETENTION AGREEMENT

c/o Analog Devices, Inc.
Two Technology Way
Norwood, Massachusetts

Dear ___________:

         Analog Devices, Inc. (the "Company") recognizes that, as is the case
with many publicly-held corporations the possibility of a change in control may
exist and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may
raise among key personnel, may result in the departure or distraction of key
personnel to the detriment of the Company, its stockholders and its customers.

         The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined that
appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued
attention and dedication of the Company's key personnel, including yourself, to
their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing
circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the
Company.

         In order to induce you to remain in its employ, the Company agrees that
you shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this letter agreement (the
"Agreement") in the event your employment with the Company is terminated under




   2



the circumstances described below subsequent to a "Change in Control" of the
Company (as defined below).

         1.       CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

         As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective
meanings:

                  (a) 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 (the "Exchange Act"), (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
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
securities; (ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
(as of the date hereof, 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 hereof 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

                                       -2-


   3



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 Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, considered
as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (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 or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80% 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 50% 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.

                  (b)      A "POTENTIAL CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall be deemed to
have occurred if:

                           (A) the Company enters in an agreement, the
         consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in
         Control of the Company,

                                       -3-


   4



                           (B) any person (including the Company) publicly
         announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which if
         consummated would constitute a Change in Control of the Company; or

                           (C) the Board of Directors of the Company adopts a
         resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a
         Potential Change in Control of the Company has occurred.

                  (c)      An "APPROVED CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean any
Change in Control that the Board, by resolution adopted prior to the occurrence
of any of the events constituting a Change in Control, specifically and
expressly declares shall constitute an "Approved Change in Control" for purposes
of this Agreement.

                  (d)      A "HOSTILE CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean any Change
in Control other than an Approved Change in Control.

         2.       TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.

                  The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on
January 1, 1989 and shall continue in effect through December 31, 1990;
provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 1991 and each January 1
thereafter, the Term shall be automatically extended for one additional year
unless, not later than September 30 of the preceding calendar year, the Company
shall have given you written notice that the Term will not be extended; and
provided further that, if a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred
during the original or extended Term, this Agreement shall continue in effect
for a period of not less than 24 months beyond the month in which such Change in
Control occurred.

                                       -4-


   5



         3.       CHANGE IN CONTROL; POTENTIAL CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                  (a) No benefits shall be payable under this Agreement unless
there has been a Change in Control of the Company during the Term.

                  (b) You agree that, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control of the
Company, you will not voluntarily resign as an employee of the Company until the
earliest of (A) a date which is six (6) months after the occurrence of such
Potential Change in Control of the Company or (B) the termination by you of your
employment by reason of Disability as defined in Section 4(b)(i) or for Good
Reason as defined in Section 4(b)(iii).

         4.       EMPLOYMENT STATUS; TERMINATION FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                  (a) You acknowledge that this Agreement does not constitute a
contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain you as
an employee and, except as set forth in Section 3(b), this Agreement does not
prevent you from terminating your employment at any time. If your employment
with the Company terminates for any reason and subsequently a Change in Control
shall have occurred, you shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder. Any
termination of your employment by the Company or by you following a Change in
Control of the Company during the Term shall be communicated by written notice
of termination ('"Notice of Termination") to the other party hereto in
accordance with Section 7. The "Date of Termination" shall mean the effective
date of such termination as specified in the Notice of Termination (provided
that no such Notice of Termination


                                       -5-


   6



shall specify an effective date more than 180 days after the date of such Notice
of Termination).

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you
shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 5 only if either (1) an
Approved Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term and your
employment with the Company is subsequently terminated or terminates within 24
months after such Approved Change in Control, unless such termination is (A)
because of your death, (B) by the Company for Disability (as defined in Section
4(b)(i)) or Cause (as defined in Section 4(b)(ii)), or (C) by you other than for
Good Reason (as defined in Section 4(b)(iii)), or (2) a Hostile Change in
Control shall have occurred during the Term and your employment with the Company
is subsequently terminated by either you or the Company within 12 months after
such Hostile Change in Control for any reason other than your death or
Disability or termination by the Company for Cause.

                           (i)      DISABILITY. If, as a result of incapacity
due to physical or mental illness, you shall have been absent from the full-time
performance of your duties with the Company for six (6) consecutive months and,
within thirty (30) days after written notice of termination is given to you, you
shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties, your
employment may be terminated for "Disability." Any termination for Disability
under this Agreement shall not affect any rights you may otherwise have under
the Company's Long-Term Disability Plan.

                           (ii)     CAUSE. Termination by the Company of your 
employment for "Cause" shall mean termination (A) upon your willful and
continued failure to


                                       -6-


   7



substantially perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure
resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such
actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination by
you for Good Reason as defined in Section 4(b)(iii)), provided that a written
demand for substantial performance has been delivered to you by the Company
specifically identifying the manner in which the Company believes that you have
not substantially performed your duties and you have not cured such failure
within 30 days after such demand, or (B) by reason of your willful engaging in
conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company. For
purposes of this subsection, 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.

                           (iii)    GOOD REASON. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Good Reason" shall mean, without your written consent, the occurrence after a
Change-in-Control of the Company of any of the following circumstances unless,
in the case of paragraphs (A), (C), (D), (F) or (G), such circumstances are
fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 4(a))
specified in the Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 4(a)) given in
respect thereof:

                                    (A) any significant diminution in your
position, duties, responsibilities, power, title or office as in effect
immediately prior to a Change in Control;


                                       -7-


   8



                                    (B) any reduction in your annual base salary
as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to
time;

                                    (C) the failure of the Company to continue
in effect any material compensation or benefit plan in which you participate
immediately prior to the Change in Control, unless an equitable arrangement
(embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with
respect to such plan, or the failure by the Company to continue your
participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not
materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and
the level of your participation relative to other participants, as existed at
the time of the Change in Control or the failure by the Company to award
cash-bonuses to its executives in amounts substantially consistent with past
practice in light of the Company's financial performance;

                                    (D) the failure by the Company to continue
to provide you with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by you under
any of the Company's life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability
plans in which you were participating at the time of the Change in Control, the
taking of any action by the Company which would directly or indirectly
materially reduce any of such benefits, or the failure by the Company to provide
you with the number of paid vacation days to which you are entitled on the basis
of years of service with the Company in accordance with the Company's normal
vacation policy in effect at the time of the Change in Control;


                                       -8-


   9



                                    (E) any requirement by the Company or of any
person in control of the Company that the location at which you perform your
principal duties for the Company be changed to a new location outside a radius
of 50 miles from your principal residence at the time of the Change in Control;

                                    (F) the failure of the Company to obtain a
satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the
Agreement, as contemplated in Section 6; or

                                    (G) any purported termination of your
employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying
the requirements of Section 7, which purported termination shall not be
effective for purposes of this Agreement

         5.       COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION. Following a Change in Control
of the Company, you shall be entitled to the following benefits during a period
of disability, or upon termination of your employment, as the case may be,
provided that such period or termination occurs during the Term:

                  (a)      During any period that you fail to perform your
full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or
mental illness, you shall continue to receive base salary and all other earned
compensation at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period
(offset by all compensation payable to you under the Company's disability plan
or program or other similar plan during such period) until your employment is
terminated pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) hereof. Thereafter, or in the event your
employment is terminated by reason of death, your


                                       -9-


   10



benefits shall be determined under the Company's long-term disability,
retirement, insurance and other compensation programs then in effect in
accordance with the terms of such programs.

                  (b)      If your employment shall be terminated by the Company
for Cause or by you other than for Good Reason following an Approved Change in
Control, the Company shall pay you your full base salary and all other
compensation through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time
the Notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which you are
entitled under any compensation plan of the Company at the time such payments
are due, and the Company shall have no further obligations to you under this
Agreement.

                  (c)      If your employment with the Company is terminated by
the Company (other than for Cause, Disability or your death) or by you for Good
Reason within 24 months after an Approved Change in Control or if your
employment with the Company is terminated by you or the Company for any reason
(other than your death or Disability or termination by the Company for Cause)
within 12 months after a Hostile Change in Control, then you shall be entitled
to the benefits below:

                           (i)      the Company shall pay to you (A) your full
base salary and all other compensation through the Date of Termination at the
rate in effect at the time the Notice of Termination is given, no later than the
full fifth day following the Date of Termination, plus all other amounts to
which you are entitled under any compensation plan of the Company at the time
such payments are due and (B) if you so elect, in lieu of your right to continue
to receive deferred compensation under any


                                      -10-


   11



deferred compensation plan of the Company then in effect, no later than the
fifth full day following the Date of Termination, a lump-sum amount, in cash,
equal to the deferred amounts together with any earnings credited on such
amounts under such plan;

                           (ii)     in lieu of any further salary payments for
periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company will pay as severance
pay to you, at the time specified in Subsection (e) below, a lump sum severance
payment (together with the payments provided in paragraph (iv) below, the
"Severance Payments") in an amount equal to the sum of (A) 200% of the higher of
(i) your annual base salary in effect on the Date of Termination or (ii) your
annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, plus
(B) 200% of the aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to you in respect of the
four fiscal quarters preceding the Date of Termination;

                           (iii)    the Company shall pay to you all legal fees
and expenses incurred by you as a result of such termination (including all such
fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such
termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by
this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent
attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or
benefit provided hereunder); and

                           (iv)     for a twenty-four (24) month period after
such termination, the Company shall arrange to provide you with life,
disability, dental, accident and group health insurance benefits substantially
similar to those which you were


                                      -11-


   12



receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not provide any benefit otherwise receivable by you
pursuant to this paragraph (iv) if an equivalent benefit is actually received by
you during the twenty-four (24) month period following your termination, and any
such benefit actually received by you shall be reported to the Company.

                  (d) In the event that you become entitled to the Severance
Payments, if any of the Severance Payments will be subject to the tax (the
"Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may
hereafter be imposed), the Company shall pay to you at the time specified in
Subsection (e) below. an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that
the net amount retained by you, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total
Payments (as defined below), but before deduction of any federal, state and
local income tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by this
subsection, shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining
whether any of the Severance Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the
amount of such Excise Tax, (A) any other payments or benefits received or to be
received by you in connection with a Change in Control of the Company or your
termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose
actions result in a Change in Control of the Company or any person affiliated
with the Company or such person) (which, together with the Severance Payments,
shall constitute the "Total Payments") shall be treated as "parachute payments"
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all "excess


                                      -12-


   13



parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as
subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the
Company's independent auditors and acceptable to you such other payments or
benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such
excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable
compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the base amount within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax,
(B) the amount of the Total Payments which shall be treated as subject to the
Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (I) the total amount of the Total
Payments or (II) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (A), above), and (C) the value of any
non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the
Company's independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections
280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the
Gross-Up Payment, you shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of your residence on the
Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which
could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. In the event
that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken
into account hereunder at the time of termination of your employment, you shall
repay to the


                                      -13-


   14



Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally
determined the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction,
plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code, provided that you shall be required to make such
repayment only if you are notified by the Company as to the amount of such
repayment within 12 months after payment of the Severance Payments to you. In
the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into
account hereunder at the time of the termination of your employment (including
by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined
at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional
gross-up payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with
respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally
determined.

                  (e) The payments provided for in Subsections 5(b), (c) and (d)
shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination;
provided, however, that, if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally
determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to you on such day an
estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of
such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with
interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as
the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth
day after the Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated
payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such
excess shall constitute a

                                      -14-


   15



loan by the Company to you, payable on the fifth day after demand by the Company
(together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the
Code).

                  (f) Except as provided in the second sentence of Subsection
5(c)(iv) hereof, you shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 5 be
reduced by any compensation earned by you as a result of employment by another
employer, by retirement benefits or by offset against any amount claimed to be
owed by you to the Company or otherwise.

         6.       SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

                  (a) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume
and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the
Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement prior to the effectiveness of
any succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle you to
compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as you
would be entitled hereunder if you had terminated your employment for Good
Reason immediately after an Approved Change in Control of the Company, except
that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in
this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the


                                      -15-


   16



Company as defined above and any successor to its business or assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.

                  (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you
should die while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder if you had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or
other designee or if there is no such designee, to your estate.

         7.       NOTICE. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all
other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be duly given when delivered or when mailed by United States registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
President of the Company, at Two Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062,
and to you at the address shown above or to such other address as either the
Company or you may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance
herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

         8.       MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.


                                      -16-


   17



                  (b) The validity, interpretation, construction and performance
of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

                  (c) No waiver by you at any time of any breach of, or
compliance with, any provision of this Agreement to be performed by the Company
shall be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision at any subsequent time.

                  (d) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.

                  (e) Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of
any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.

                  (f) This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the
parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes
all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications,
representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee
or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties
hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated
and cancelled.

                               MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

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
general-purpose, standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SLICs") and
system-level ICs. The latter group includes general-purpose digital signal
processing ICs ("DSPs") and application-specific devices that typically
incorporate analog and mixed-signal circuitry and a DSP core.

Nearly all of Analog's products are components, which are typically incorporated
by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in a wide range of equipment and
systems for use in communications, computer, industrial, instrumentation,
military/aerospace, automotive and high-performance consumer electronics
applications.

The Company sells its products worldwide through a direct sales force,
third-party industrial distributors and independent sales representatives.
Approximately 46% of fiscal 1997 revenue was derived from customers in North
America, while most of the balance was derived from customers in Western Europe
and the Far East.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1996

Fiscal 1997 sales of $1,243 million were up 4% year to year, despite a sluggish
first half of the year. The first half of the year was adversely affected by
excess inventories at end customers which had accumulated during the prior year
when lead times had increased due to manufacturing capacity constraints. During
the second half of fiscal 1997 demand increased and sales growth resumed.

Standard linear IC product sales contributed significantly to Analog's growth
during fiscal 1997. SLICs are primarily high-performance, single-function
devices. The majority of SLIC revenue was attributable to sales of data
converters (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog) and amplifiers. The
Company's products were sold to a broad customer base throughout the world with
virtually all channels of distribution and all geographies showing increased
sales. Recently introduced high speed products contributed to this growth.
Products used in communications and imaging applications experienced good growth
during fiscal 1997. SLIC sales represented 61% of the Company's total sales
during fiscal 1997 compared to 57% during fiscal 1996.

Sales of system-level IC products declined slightly as the Company experienced a
decline in sales of computer audio products, GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) cellular phone chipsets and products used in automatic test
equipment. System-level ICs include general purpose DSP ICs and multi-function
devices that feature high levels of functional integration on a single chip.
Most of the multi-function ICs are mixed signal devices, others are linear-only
devices. System level IC product sales represented 35% of the Company's total
sales during fiscal 1997 compared to 38% during fiscal 1996.

Sales of assembled products continued to decline during fiscal 1997 and
represented only 4% of the Company's total sales during fiscal 1997 and 5%
during fiscal 1996. Assembled products include multi-chip modules, hybrids and
printed board modules.

Sales to North American customers increased significantly over fiscal 1996.
Sales in Europe and Japan remained essentially flat in comparison to the prior
year. A decline in sales in Southeast Asia was attributable to the decline in
computer audio sales partially offset by an increase in SLIC sales in the
region. As a percentage of total net sales, sales outside North America were 54%
in fiscal 1997 as compared to 58% in fiscal 1996. For further detail regarding
geographic information, see Note 3 in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Gross margin was 50.0% of sales for fiscal 1997 compared to 50.3% for fiscal
1996. The slight reduction in gross margin for the year-over-year period was
principally due to a change in the mix of products sold and increased costs
associated with new manufacturing facilities.

                                       1
   2


Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased approximately 10% in fiscal
1997 to $196 million or 15.8% of sales. This increase was mainly due to the
continued development of innovative SLIC products and processes and higher
spending in the development of new products and technologies targeted for the
communications, computer and automotive markets, including initiatives in
general-purpose digital signal processing, system-level ICs for modem and
wireless communications applications, RF signal processing, broadband wired
communications, micromachining technology and accelerometer products. The
Company believes that a continued commitment to research and development is
essential in order to maintain product leadership in its existing products and
to provide innovative new product offerings, and therefore expects to continue
to make significant investments in research and development in the future.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative ("SMG&A") expenses were $192
million, a decrease of $4 million from the $196 million recorded in the prior
year. This decline was principally the result of the Company's commitment to
constrain spending during the recent period of slower sales growth, along with
reduced bonus payments to employees. As a result, SMG&A expense as a percentage
of sales fell to 15.4% from 16.4% for the year earlier period.

In total, operating expenses as a percentage of sales remained essentially flat
at 31.2%, consistent with the Company's emphasis on maintaining tight control
over operating costs in order to gain better operating leverage on increases in
revenue.

The Company's operating income ratio decreased slightly to 18.8% of sales for
fiscal 1997, compared to 19.0% for fiscal 1996, as a result of all of the
factors cited above.

The effective income tax rate decreased to 24.4% in fiscal 1997 from 25.5% in
fiscal 1996 due to a shift in the mix of worldwide income and due to a larger
R&D credit realized in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996. Since it is not
assured that the Company will realize capital gains income, the Company has
included on its balance sheet a valuation allowance of $5.6 million at November
1, 1997. The valuation allowance balance was $7.4 million at November 2, 1996.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the fiscal year ended November 1,
1997 was due to the expiration of unused capital loss carryforwards for tax
purposes.

Net income increased 4% to $178 million in fiscal 1997 compared to $172 million
in fiscal 1996. Earnings per share in fiscal 1997 increased $.01 to $1.04 from
$1.03 in fiscal 1996.

The Company has not yet adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" which will require adoption in fiscal 1999. The Company is in the
process of determining the effect of the adoption of these statements on its
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The impact of inflation on the Company's business during the past three years
has not been significant.

FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995

Net sales of $1,194 million in fiscal 1996 increased 27% from fiscal 1995.
Fiscal year 1996 sales growth was attributable to significant increases in sales
volumes of both the Company's standard linear IC and system-level IC products as
worldwide demand for precision integrated circuit products increased in the
first half of fiscal 1996. During the third and fourth quarters a broadbased
inventory correction by end users, customers and distributors in response to the
shorter leadtimes available for many products from the Company and other
suppliers caused sales levels to be flat with the second quarter.

Sales of the Company's standard linear IC products contributed significantly to
Analog's growth. Standard linear IC sales, however, declined as a percentage of
total sales, accounting for 57% of total sales in fiscal 1996 compared to 64% in
fiscal 1995 due to the high sales growth for system-level IC products. The
growth in sales of standard linear ICs was driven by the greater use of standard
linear IC products in new high-volume applications in wireless and broadband
communications, computer and consumer markets including digital cellular
handsets and base stations, video applications and imaging applications. In
fiscal 1996, the distributor channel was a significant growth channel for the
Company's standard linear IC product line.

                                       2

Sales of system-level ICs experienced rapid growth as the Company achieved gains
in its general-purpose digital signal processing products and mixed-signal ICs
for application-specific system-on-a-chip solutions. The largest end user market
growth for the Company's system-level IC products was in wireless communications
applications, including digital mobile phones and base stations. As a percentage
of total sales, system-level IC products increased to 38% of total sales
compared to 28% in fiscal 1995.

Sales of the Company's assembled products continued to decline and as a
percentage of total sales decreased from 8% to 5% over this same period.

In fiscal 1996, sales to North American customers increased significantly over
fiscal 1995. Sales to customers outside North America, primarily Europe and
Southeast Asia also increased significantly. European growth resulted from the
Company's penetration of applications in the communications market, particularly
in handsets and base stations used in the GSM digital cellular telephone system.
The increase in sales to customers in Southeast Asia was due to increased demand
for products in the hard disk drive, communications and computer products
segments. Sales in Japan increased slightly. As a percentage of total sales,
North American and international sales accounted for 42% and 58%, respectively,
whereas the comparable percentages were 44% and 56% in fiscal 1995.

Gross margin was 50.3% of sales in fiscal 1996 compared to 50.7% of sales in
fiscal 1995. The reduction in gross margin was principally due to a lower
proportion of standard linear IC products in the mix of products sold, which
generally have higher gross margins than the Company's system-level IC products.
The reduction in gross margin in fiscal 1996 was also attributable to increased
costs associated with increased capacity combined with the leveling off of sales
in the latter half of the year.

R&D expenses for fiscal 1996 increased 32% from fiscal 1995 as the Company
continued to invest in new product development. As a percentage of sales, R&D
expenses were 14.9% in fiscal 1996 compared to 14.3% in fiscal 1995.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expense growth in fiscal 1996 was
5.9%, increasing from $185 million in fiscal 1995 to $196 million in fiscal
1996. SMG&A expenses declined as a percentage of sales to 16.4% in fiscal 1996
compared to 19.6% in fiscal 1995, consistent with the Company's goal of
constraining SMG&A spending growth to a rate significantly below sales growth.
The increase in SMG&A expenses in absolute dollars was primarily related to
higher employee bonus payments associated with improved revenue and
profitability levels, and greater product advertising and related promotional
costs and commissions in support of the Company's product lines and customer
base.

Operating income grew 44% to 19% of sales compared to 17% of sales in fiscal
1995. This performance gain reflected the combination of accelerated demand for
the Company's products and continuing commitment to growing expenses more slowly
than sales.

Nonoperating income of $1.7 million in fiscal 1995 improved to $3.6 million in
fiscal 1996. Interest expense in fiscal 1996 increased from fiscal 1995 as a
result of the issuance of $230,000,000 of 3 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes
in December 1995 but this increase was more than offset by increased investment
income as a result of the positive spread between the 3 1/2% coupon rate and the
investment rates achieved on available cash balances through fiscal 1996.

The effective income tax rate increased to 25.5% in fiscal 1996 from 25.2% in
fiscal 1995 due to earnings growth in higher tax rate jurisdictions including
the U.S. The Company maintained a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of
$7.4 million at November 2, 1996 based on management's assessment that
realization of such deferred tax assets was not assured for book and tax capital
losses. The valuation allowance balance was $10 million at October 28, 1995. The
net change in the valuation allowance for the fiscal year ended November 2, 1996
was a decrease of $2.6 million as a result of the utilization of book basis
foreign tax credits and the use of capital tax loss carryforwards.

The growth in sales, improved operating performance and lower nonoperating
expenses yielded a 44.1% rise in net income to $171.9 million or 14.4% of sales
in fiscal 1996 compared to $119.3 million or 12.7% of sales in fiscal 1995.
Earnings per share in fiscal 1996 grew 37% to $1.03 from $0.75 in fiscal 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At November 1, 1997, the Company had $341 million of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments compared to $300 million at November 2, 1996. The
Company's operating activities generated net cash of $297 million, or 24% of
sales, and $144 million, or 12% of sales, in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996,
respectively. Investing activities used $237 million in fiscal 1997 and $305
million in fiscal 1996 while financing activities generated $15 million in
fiscal 1997 and $301 million in fiscal 1996. The Company's primary source of
funds in fiscal year 1997 was net cash generated by operations. The issuance of
long-term convertible debt which generated $224 million was the primary source
of funding in fiscal 1996.

Accounts receivable of $256 million at the end of fiscal 1997 increased $22
million or 9% from $234 million at the end of fiscal 1996. This increase
resulted principally from the $28 million increase in sales from the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996 to the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. The number of days
sales outstanding remained flat and as a percentage of annualized fourth quarter
sales accounts receivable was 19.2% at the end of both of these periods.
Accounts receivable reserves and allowances increased from $15 million at the
end of fiscal 1996 to $40 million at the end of fiscal 1997. This increase was
caused by additional reserves deemed necessary particularly in South East Asia
and reserves required because of increased activity in the N.A. distributor
channel.

Inventories rose $7 million or 3% over the prior year to $226 million at the end
of fiscal 1997. Inventories as a percentage of annualized fourth quarter sales
decreased to 17% for the year ended November 1, 1997 from 18% for the year ended
November 2, 1996.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $6 million or 4% compared to
the balance at the end of fiscal 1996 due principally to increased expense
activity related to higher revenue and increased capital expenditures in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 when compared to the year earlier period.

The Company's principal investment activities during fiscal 1997 were in support
of its manufacturing facility improvement programs and included capital
expenditures of $179 million and an investment of $42 million which was a second
installment on an 18% share in a wafer fabrication facility on a joint venture
basis with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ("TSMC") and a further
deposit of $12 million paid to Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte., Ltd.
("CSM"), a wafer fabrication company in Singapore.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 1997 of $179 million, were $55 million lower than
in the prior year when major capacity expansion programs were underway. The
expenditures in fiscal 1997 included the ongoing expansion and upgrade of the
Company's existing wafer fabrication facilities in Wilmington, Massachusetts and
Limerick, Ireland. During fiscal 1997 an additional wafer fabrication facility
in Cambridge, Massachusetts was made available for the production of the
accelerometer and other micromachined products. In addition, the Company
continued the development of the six-inch wafer fabrication module located in
Sunnyvale, California. This facility is still in the process of being upgraded
and modernized and a CBCMOS process is being developed and the facility is
expected to ramp during fiscal 1998. Also, during fiscal 1997 production began
in the Company's new assembly and test site in the Philippines. These expansion
programs caused depreciation expense to increase to $101 million in fiscal 1997
from $82 million in fiscal 1996.

During fiscal 1996 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with TSMC
and other investors for the construction and operation of a semiconductor
fabrication facility in Camas, Washington. For a total commitment of $140
million, the Company acquired an 18% equity ownership in the joint venture,
known as WaferTech. The first installment of $42 million was paid in fiscal
1996. The second installment of $42 million was paid in December 1996 and the
remaining installment of $56 million was paid in fiscal 1998, on November 3,
1997.

In March 1997 and June 1997, in accordance with a previous agreement, the
Company made two payments of $6 million each to CSM for a total deposit of $20
million. In fiscal 1996 the Company provided $8 million to CSM under this
arrangement. This deposit is classified in the balance sheet line item, "Other
assets." Under the terms of this agreement, the deposit will guarantee access to
certain quantities of sub-micron wafers through fiscal 2000. If the Company does
not purchase the minimum quantities under the agreement, the deposit will be
forfeited for the value of the wafer shortfall up to the total amount of $20
million. At the end of the agreement term, the Company's deposit will be
returned, net of any forfeitures.

The Company currently plans to make capital expenditures of approximately $300
million in fiscal 1998, primarily in connection with the continued improvement
of its manufacturing facilities. Depreciation expense is expected to increase to
approximately $144 million in fiscal 1998 as a result of these additions.

In fiscal 1997 financing activities generated cash of $15 million. The issuance
of common stock under stock purchase and stock option plans generated cash of
$19 million, and proceeds from equipment financing generated cash of $7 million.
These increases were offset by $11 million of cash used for the repayment of
capital lease obligations and various other items resulting in net cash
generated of $3 million.

At November 1, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included $341
million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Short-term
investments at the end of fiscal 1997 consisted of commercial paper,
certificates of deposit and Euro time deposits with maturities greater than
three months and less than six months at the time of acquisition. The Company
also has various lines of credit both in the U.S. and overseas, including a $60
million credit facility in the U.S. which expires in 2000, all of which were
substantially unused at the end of fiscal 1997. At the end of fiscal 1997, the
Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 33%.

The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to
be generated from future operations, together with current and anticipated
available long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital
expenditures and research and development efforts for the foreseeable future.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's fixed rate debt obligations and related interest rate swap and cap
agreements are subject to interest rate risk. For example, a 100 basis point
increase in interest rates would not result in a material change in the
Company's interest expense or the fair value of the debt obligations and related
interest rate swap and cap agreements. An increase in interest rates would not
significantly increase interest expense due to the fixed nature of the Company's
debt obligations. The fair value of the Company's investment portfolio or
related interest income would not be significantly impacted by either a 100
basis point increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term
nature of the major portion of the Company's investment portfolio and the
relative insignificance of interest income to consolidated pre-tax income,
respectively.

As more fully described in Note 2 (h) in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company regularly hedges its non-U.S. dollar based
exposures by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency
option contracts and currency swap agreements. The terms of these contracts
typically are for periods matching the duration of the underlying exposure and
generally range from three months up to one year. The short-term nature of these
contracts has resulted in these instruments having insignificant fair values at
November 1, 1997. Relative to foreign currency exposures existing at November 1,
1997, a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign exchange rates would not expose the
Company to significant losses in earnings or cash flows or significantly
diminish the fair value of its foreign currency financial instruments, primarily
due to the short lives of the affected financial instruments that effectively
hedge substantially all of the Company's year-end exposures to fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. The calculation assumes that each exchange rate
would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to
the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, such changes typically affect
the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors' products
become more or less attractive. The Company's sensitivity analysis of the
effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a
potential change in sales levels or local currency selling prices.

FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Company's future operating results are difficult to predict and may be
affected by a number of factors including the timing of new product
announcements or introductions by the Company and its competitors, competitive
pricing pressures, fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability
of wafers and manufacturing capacity, changes in product mix and economic
conditions in the United States and international markets. In addition, the
semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant
economic downturns at various times. The Company is exposed to the risk of
obsolescence of its inventory depending on the mix of future business. As a
result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that the Company
will not experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a
quarterly or annual basis.

The Company's success depends in part on its continued ability to develop and
market new products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
develop and introduce new products in a timely manner or that such products, if
developed, will achieve market acceptance. In addition, the Company's growth is
dependent on its continued ability to penetrate new markets such as the
communications, computer and automotive segments of the electronics market,
where the Company has limited experience and competition is intense. There can
be no assurance that the markets being served by the Company will grow in the
future; that the Company's existing and new products will meet the requirements
of such markets; that the Company's products will achieve customer acceptance in
such markets; that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low
level or take market share from the Company; 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.

The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive. Certain of the Company's
competitors have greater technical, marketing, manufacturing and financial
resources than the Company. The Company's competitors also include emerging
companies attempting to sell products to specialized markets such as those
served by the Company. Competitors of the Company have, in some cases, developed
and marketed products having similar design and functionality as the Company's
products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully in the future against existing or new competitors or that the
Company's operating results will not be adversely affected by increased price
competition.

The Company has increased substantially its manufacturing capacity through both
expansion of its production facilities and increased access to third-party
foundries; there can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter
unanticipated production problems at either its own facilities or at third-party
foundries; or that the increased capacity will be sufficient to satisfy demand
for its products. The Company relies, and plans to continue to rely, on assembly
and test subcontractors and on third-party wafer fabricators to supply most of
its wafers that can be manufactured using industry-standard digital processes,
and such reliance involves several risks, including reduced control over
delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. In addition, the Company's
capacity additions will result in a significant increase in operating expenses,
and if revenue levels do not increase to offset these additional expense levels,
the Company's future operating results could be adversely affected, including
the potential adverse impact on operating results for "take or pay" covenants in
certain of its supply agreements. The Company's business is subject to rapid
technological changes and there can be no assurance that products stocked in
inventory will not be rendered obsolete before they are utilized by the Company.
The Company also believes that other semiconductor manufacturers are expanding
or planning to expand their production capacity over the next several years, and
there can be no assurance that the expansion by the Company and its competitors
will not lead to overcapacity in the Company's target markets, which could lead
to price erosion that would adversely affect the Company's operating results.

In fiscal 1997, 54% of the Company's revenues were derived from customers in
international markets. The Company has manufacturing facilities outside the U.S.
in Ireland, the Philippines and Taiwan. The Company also has supply agreements
that include "take or pay" covenants with suppliers located in Southeast Asia
("SEA") and as part of these arrangements, the Company has $26 million on
deposit with two of these suppliers. The Company also has a $21 million
investment in one of these suppliers. In addition, the Company's major partner
in its joint venture, WaferTech, is TSMC which is located in the SEA region. The
Company is therefore subject to the economic and political risks inherent in
international operations, including the risks associated with the ongoing
uncertainties in the economies in SEA. These risks include air transportation
disruptions, expropriation, currency controls and changes in currency exchange
rates, tax and tariff rates and freight rates. Although the Company engages in
certain hedging transactions to reduce its exposure to currency exchange rate
fluctuations, there can be no assurance that the Company's competitive position
will not be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate of the U.S.
dollar against other currencies.

                                       6

The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation
involving patent and other intellectual property rights. The Company has from
time to time received, and may in the future receive, claims from third parties
asserting that the Company's products or processes infringe their patents or
other intellectual property rights. In the event a third party makes a valid
intellectual property claim and a license is not available on commercially
reasonable terms, the Company's operating results could be materially and
adversely affected. Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents or other
intellectual property rights of the Company or to defend the Company against
claims of infringement, and such litigation can be costly and divert the
attention of key personnel. See Note 8 in the Notes to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements, for information concerning certain pending
litigation involving the Company. An adverse outcome in such litigation, may, in
certain cases, 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 litigation is resolved.

The Company already has installed Year 2000 compliant software in many of its
major systems. A task force is engaged in the ongoing effort to complete this
activity for the balance of the Company's systems. The cost of these efforts is
not expected to be material. The Company presently believes that the Year 2000
issue will not pose significant operational problems. However, Year 2000 issues
could have a significant impact on the Company's operations and its financial
results if modifications cannot be completed on a timely basis; unforeseen needs
or problems arise, or if the systems operated by our customers, vendors or
subcontractors are not Year 2000 compliant.

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
trading price of the Company's common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations
in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, general
conditions in the semiconductor industry, changes in earnings estimates and
recommendations by analysts or other events.

11 5 [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 6 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 1, 1997, NOVEMBER 2, 1996 AND OCTOBER 28, 1995 (ALL TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. DESCRIPTION OF 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 that address a wide range of real-world signal processing applications. The Company's two principal product groups are general-purpose, standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs and system-level ICs. The latter group includes general-purpose digital signal processing ICs and application-specific devices that typically incorporate analog and mixed-signal circuitry and a DSP core. Analog's third product group consists of devices manufactured using assembled product technology. 2. 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. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal years 1997 and 1995 were each 52 week years, while 1996 was a 53 week year. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation, such reclassifications were immaterial. b. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Investments with maturities between three and twelve months at time of acquisition are considered short-term investments. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of commercial paper, but also include certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances. Long-term investments consist of equity securities and bank money market funds as well as time deposits which the Company intends to renew at each maturity date. The Company classifies its investments in debt and equity securities as "held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale," and "trading" at the time of purchase and for such designation to be reevaluated as of each balance sheet date. Held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, include only those securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, if any, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses, declines in value judged to be other than temporary, as well as interest, dividends and capital gains distributions on all securities are included in earnings. 13 7 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) While it is the intent of management to hold securities to maturity, unforeseen events, while not generally expected, could cause the Company to liquidate certain securities prior to maturity. Accordingly, those securities which could readily be sold back to the seller are classified as available-for-sale. Securities, such as bank time deposits, which by their nature are typically held to maturity are classified as such. The following is a summary of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995:
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE HELD-TO-MATURITY -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- GROSS GROSS UNREALIZED UNREALIZED ESTIMATED 1997 COST GAINS LOSSES FAIR VALUE COST ======================================================================================================================= Cash equivalents: Commercial paper $249,053 $ - $ - $ 249,053 $ - Euro time deposits - - - - 16,810 Short-term investments: Commercial paper 38,085 - - 38,085 - Certificates of deposit 10,000 - - 10,000 - Bankers' acceptances 2,921 - - 2,921 - Long-term investments: Equity securities 3,433 165 200 3,398 - Euro time deposits - - - - 1,556 Bank money market fund 9,250 - - 9,250 - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $312,742 $ 165 $ 200 $312,707 $18,366 ======================================================================================================================= 1996 ======================================================================================================================= Cash equivalents: Commercial paper $ 83,713 $ - $ - $ 83,713 $ - Euro time deposits - - - - 94,656 Certificates of deposit 8,000 - - 8,000 - Short-term investments: Commercial paper 89,810 - - 89,810 - Long-term investments: Equity securities 4,186 386 2 4,570 - Euro time deposits - - - - 836 Bank money market fund 19 - - 19 - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $185,728 $ 386 $ 2 $ 186,112 $95,492 ======================================================================================================================= 1995 ======================================================================================================================= Cash equivalents: Commercial paper $ 27,727 $ - $ - $ 27,727 $ - Euro time deposits - - - - 31,300 Short-term investments: Commercial paper 73,874 - - 73,874 - Bankers' acceptances 2,936 - - 2,936 - Euro time deposits - - - - 5,000 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $104,537 $ - $ - $ 104,537 $36,300 =======================================================================================================================
Cash equivalents and short-term investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995 have contractual maturities of six months or less at time of acquisition. Because of the short term to maturity, and hence relative price insensitivity to changes in market interest rates, amortized cost approximates fair value for all of these securities. As such, no unrealized gains or losses were recorded during each of these years. Long-term bank time deposits, although renewed on a continual basis, typically have original maturities of two weeks. As such, they are price insensitive to changes in market interest rates and amortized cost therefore approximates fair value. Bank money market funds, which have been categorized as long-term investments, by their nature maintain a constant par value of $1 per share. Amortized cost for these securities, therefore, approximates fair value. 14 8 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The fair value of long-term equity securities was determined based on published market quotes at October 31, 1997 and November 1, 1996. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were not material in fiscal 1997, fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995. The fair value of trading securities at November 1, 1997 was $9 million and was determined based on published market quotes at October 31, 1997. Gross realized gains from the sale of trading securities for the year ended November 1, 1997 were not material. There were no gross realized losses from the sale of trading securities for the year ended November 1, 1997. c. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995 were as follows:
1997 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raw materials $ 31,526 $ 31,039 $ 22,327 Work in process 128,187 115,799 77,526 Finished goods 66,253 72,039 44,109 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total inventories $ 225,966 $ 218,877 $ 143,962 ==============================================================================
A director of a raw material supplier was also a director of the Company through January 1995. Total purchases from this supplier approximated $11,038,000 through January 1995. The Company believes that the terms of these purchases were comparable to those available from other suppliers. d. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. 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 Total depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment was $101,432,000, $81,740,000 and $62,066,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 15 9 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) e. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets at November 1, 1997 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 ten to fifteen years. Amortization expense for all intangible assets was $2,122,000, $2,069,000 and $2,032,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Accumulated amortization for all intangible assets was $14,859,000, $12,737,000 and $10,668,000 at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, respectively. On a periodic basis, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the businesses to which the intangible assets relate in order to ensure that the carrying value of such intangible assets has not been impaired. f. GRANT ACCOUNTING The Company's manufacturing facility in Limerick, Ireland has received various grants from the Industrial Development Authority of the Republic of Ireland. These grants include capital, employment, and research and development grants. Capital grants for the acquisition of property and equipment are netted against the related capital expenditures and amortized as a credit to depreciation expense over the useful life of the related asset. Employment grants, which relate to employee hiring and training, and research and development grants are recognized in earnings in the period in which the related expenditures are incurred by the Company. g. 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. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses included in other expenses, net, were not material in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995. h. 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, primarily Japanese yen and European currencies. These foreign exchange contract, option and swap transactions are entered into to support product sales, purchases and financing transactions made in the normal course of business, and accordingly, are not speculative in nature. Forward foreign exchange contracts are utilized to manage the risk associated with currency fluctuations on certain firm sales and purchase commitments denominated in foreign currencies and certain non-U.S. dollar denominated asset and liability positions. The Company's forward foreign exchange contracts are primarily denominated in Japanese yen and certain European currencies and are for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transactions, generally one year or less. The forward foreign exchange contracts that relate to firm, foreign currency sales and purchase commitments are designated and effective as hedges of firm, identifiable foreign currency commitments, and accordingly, the gains and losses resulting from the impact of currency exchange rate movements on these contracts are not recognized in operations until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized. Upon recognition, such gains and losses are recorded in operations as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the underlying transactions in the period in which these transactions are recognized. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the impact of currency exchange rate movements on forward foreign exchange contracts designated to offset certain non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities are recognized as other income or expense in the period in which the exchange rates change and offset the foreign currency gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged. The contract amounts of forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding were $163 million, $147 million and $182 million at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, respectively. 16 10 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company also may periodically enter into foreign currency option contracts to offset certain probable anticipated, but not firmly committed, foreign currency transactions related to the sale of product during the ensuing nine months. When the dollar strengthens significantly against the foreign currencies, the decline in value of future currency cash flows is partially offset by the gains in value of the purchased currency options designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in value of future foreign currency cash flows is reduced only by the premium paid to acquire the options. The Company's foreign currency option contracts are primarily denominated in Japanese yen and generally have maturities which do not exceed six months. These foreign currency option contracts are designated and effective as hedges of anticipated foreign currency sales transactions, and accordingly, the premium cost and any realized gains associated with these contracts are deferred and included in the consolidated balance sheet as prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities, respectively, until such time as the underlying sales transactions are recognized. Upon recognition, such premium costs and any realized gains are recorded in sales as a component of the underlying sales transactions being hedged. The contract amounts of foreign currency option contracts outstanding were $29 million, $28 million and $27 million at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, respectively. Deferred gains or losses attributable to foreign currency option contracts were not material at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995. The Company uses currency swap agreements to hedge the value of its net investment in certain of its 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, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in accrued liabilities or other current assets. The contract amount of currency swap agreements outstanding, which were principally denominated in Japanese yen, was $10.0 million at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995. The currency swap agreement outstanding at November 1, 1997 has a remaining maturity of 2.5 years and is expected to remain in effect until expiration. The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its debt and certain financing arrangements from fixed to variable rates. Maturity dates of interest rate swap and cap agreements generally match those of the underlying debt or financing arrangements. These agreements, which have maturities of up to ten years involve the exchange of fixed rate payments for variable rate payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Variable rates are based on six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and reset on a semiannual basis. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change in accordance with the agreements and recognized over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. The notional principal amounts of interest rate swap and cap agreements outstanding were approximately $50 million, at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995. The cash requirements of the above-described financial instruments approximate their fair value. Cash flows associated with these financial instruments are classified consistent with the cash flows from the transactions being hedged. Derivative financial instruments involve, to a varying degree, elements of market and credit risk not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange rate or interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company's foreign exchange and interest rate instruments consist of a number of major international financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company does not believe that there is significant risk of nonperformance by these counterparties because the Company continually monitors the credit ratings of such counterparties, and limits the financial exposure and the amount of agreements entered into with any one financial institution. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of the Company's exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the contracts exceed the obligations of the Company to the counterparties. 17 11 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) i. FAIR VALUES 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.
NOVEMBER 1, 1997 NOVEMBER 2, 1996 OCTOBER 28, 1995 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $289,601 $289,601 $210,109 $210,109 $69,303 $69,303 Short-term investments 51,006 51,006 89,810 89,810 81,810 81,810 Long-term investments 23,168 23,168 5,425 5,425 - - Liabilities: Short-term borrowings - - (178) (178) (2,299) (2,299) Long-term debt, including current portion (310,000) (427,640) (310,000) (369,513) (80,000) (80,130) Foreign Currency Instruments and Interest Rate Agreements: Interest rate swap and cap agreements (31) (413) 18 (491) (30) (175) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts 2,260 (400) 2,672 3,585 7,798 9,089 Foreign currency option contracts 267 187 130 240 388 1,645 Currency swap agreements 1,632 1,363 1,131 922 413 485 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash, cash equivalents and 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 contracts-The estimated fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the estimated amount at which they could be settled based on forward market exchange rates. Foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements-The fair values of foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements are obtained from dealer quotes. These values represent the estimated net amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements. 18 12 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) j. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates relate to the useful lives of fixed assets, allowances for doubtful accounts and customer returns, inventory reserves, potential reserves relating to litigation matters, accrued liabilities, and other reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. k. 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, communications, computers and peripherals, and high-performance consumer electronics. The Company has adopted credit policies and standards to accommodate growth in these markets. 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. Reserves are provided for estimated amounts of accounts receivable which may not be collected. l. CONCENTRATION OF OTHER RISKS The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures, and cyclical market patterns. The Company's financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general economic conditions worldwide, economic conditions specific to the semiconductor industry, the timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, the ability to safeguard patents and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving market, and reliance on assembly and test subcontractors, third-party wafer fabricators and independent distributors. As a result, the Company may experience significant period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results due to the factors mentioned above or other factors. m. 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. Under these domestic distributor agreements where pricing concessions and future returns cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company defers recognition of such sales and related gross margin until the merchandise is sold by the distributors. In fiscal 1997, the Company entered into other agreements with some domestic distributors covering the sale of selected products. Under these new agreements, price concessions and future returns are restricted and can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of products covered by these agreements and provides specific reserves for possible returns and allowances. For sales to international distributors, the Company recognizes the sale upon shipment, but provides specific reserves for possible returns and allowances. n. INCOME TAXES Income taxes have been provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," under which deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period are determined based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance. 19 13 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) o. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). FAS 123 requires the recognition of, or disclosure of, compensation expense for grants of stock options or other equity instruments issued to employees based on their fair value at the date of grant. As permitted by FAS 123, the Company elected the disclosure requirements instead of recognition of compensation expense and therefore will continue to apply existing accounting rules. p. EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK The Company computes its earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 ("APB 15"), "Earnings Per Share." 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 (including incremental shares for 3 1/2% convertible debt) for dilutive common stock equivalents. Fully diluted earnings per share do not differ materially from primary earnings per share. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share," ("FAS 128") which supersedes APB 15 and is required to be adopted in financial statements issued after December 31, 1997. For the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements, primary and fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced by basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and the dilutive effect of stock options is excluded. Diluted earnings per share is computed essentially in the same manner as fully diluted earnings per share with some exceptions. The primary exception affecting the Company is that the dilutive effect of stock options is always based on the average market price of the stock during the period, not the higher of the average and period end market price as required under APB 15. If the Company computed its earnings per share based on FAS 128, the pro forma amounts for basic and diluted earnings per share would have been as follows:
1997 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Earnings Per Share $1.13 $1.12 $0.79 Diluted Earnings Per Share $1.04 $1.03 $0.75 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
q. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Company has not yet adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which will require adoption in fiscal 1999. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of adoption of these statements on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 20 14 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

21 15 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 4. INVESTMENTS Investments at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995 were as follows:
1997 1996 1995 ======================================================================================================================= WaferTech, LLC $ 86,715 $ 42,073 $ - CSM 20,784 20,784 13,980 Other 23,969 5,525 - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 131,468 $ 68,382 $ 13,980 =======================================================================================================================
In June 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., two other companies and several individual investors for the construction and operation of a semiconductor fabrication facility in Camas, Washington. The Company received an 18% equity ownership in the joint venture, known as WaferTech, in return for a $140 million investment. The investment was made in three installments. The first installment of $42 million was paid in fiscal 1996. A second installment of $42 million was paid in fiscal 1997 and the remaining installment of $56 million was paid in fiscal 1998 on November 3, 1997. In addition, the Company has an obligation to guarantee its pro rata share of debt incurred by WaferTech, up to a maximum for the Company of $45 million. The Company is applying the equity basis of accounting to this investment in WaferTech based on the Company's ability to exercise significant influence on the operating and financial policies of the joint venture. The operating results of this joint venture to date have not been material. The Company has an equity investment in Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte., Ltd. in Singapore of approximately $21 million which represents a less than 5% ownership interest. The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method and therefore changes in the value of the investment are not recognized unless an impairment in the value of the investment is deemed by management to be "other than temporary." Other investments consist primarily of long-term investments in debt and equity securities. 5. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995 consisted of the following:
1997 1996 1995 ======================================================================================================================= Accrued compensation and benefits $ 49,089 $ 48,848 $ 47,785 Other 26,355 27,801 18,054 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total accrued liabilities $ 75,444 $ 76,649 $ 65,839 =======================================================================================================================
22 16 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES 3 1/2% NOTES On December 18, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of $230,000,000 of five-year 3 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2000 with semiannual interest payments due on June 1 and December 1. The Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into the Company's common stock at any time, unless previously redeemed by the Company, at a conversion price of $20.938 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. 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 due on March 1 and September 1. 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 November 1, 1997, the net effective interest rate on $40 million of the Notes was 7.5% after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement. 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 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 November 2, 1996 to an amount not exceeding $150,000,000 plus 50% of the consolidated net income of the Company for the period from November 3, 1996 through the end of the Company's then most recent fiscal quarter. At November 1, 1997 this amount was equal to $239,110,000. At November 1, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.
Long-term debt at November 1, 1997, November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995 consisted of the following: 1997 1996 1995 ================================================================================================================== 3 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2000 $ 230,000 $ 230,000 $ - 6 5/8% Notes due 2000 80,000 80,000 80,000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long-term debt $ 310,000 $ 310,000 $ 80,000 ==================================================================================================================

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. 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 $13,058,000, $11,573,000 and $11,243,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION The Company was a defendant in two lawsuits brought in Texas by Texas Instruments, Inc. ("TI"), alleging patent infringement, including patent infringement arising from certain plastic encapsulation processes, and seeking an injunction and unspecified damages against the Company. 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 ("ITC"). 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), which prohibited the Company's importation of certain plastic encapsulated circuits, and seeking substantial penalties against the Company for these alleged violations. In addition, in June 1992, the Company commenced a lawsuit against TI in Massachusetts alleging certain TI digital signal processors infringed one of the Company's patents. Effective April 1, 1995, the Company and TI settled both Texas lawsuits and the Massachusetts lawsuit principally by means of a royalty-free cross license of certain of the Company's and TI's patents. 24 18 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On April 25, 1995, the Company filed with the ITC a motion to terminate the ITC enforcement proceeding on the grounds that further action by the ITC was unnecessary in light of the Company's settlement with TI. On May 8, 1995, an Administrative Law Judge issued a recommended determination to the ITC to grant the Company's motion to terminate the ITC proceeding. The investigative office of the ITC opposed the motion, claiming that, notwithstanding the Company's settlement with TI, the Company's alleged violation of the ITC's cease and desist order warranted the imposition of substantial penalties. On September 11, 1996, the ITC adopted the determination of the Administrative Law Judge to terminate the enforcement proceeding and referred to the Department of Justice by letter certain allegations that the Company made false representations in reports filed with the ITC. The Company advised the Department of Justice that it has consistently and vigorously denied such allegations during the entire course of the proceedings before the ITC and the Department of Justice informed the Company that its statement would be considered in connection with any action it may take on the matter. The Company is aware of no further activity by the Department of Justice, and is unable to determine whether further activity will occur regarding the foregoing matter. 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 matters, patents, trademarks, personal injury, environmental matters and product liability. Such litigation includes patent infringement actions brought against the Company by Sextant Avionique, S.A. in France and the United States and Commissariat A. L'energie Atomique C.E.A. in France, claiming that the Company's accelerometer infringes certain patents. In the French proceeding commenced by Sextant Avionique, S.A., the French court has found that the Company has infringed Sextant's French patents, and therefore, unless the decision is reversed, the Company will be unable to manufacture or sell any infringing accelerometers in France. The Company does not believe that this decision will have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. As to other pending litigation, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail; however, the Company does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. However, an adverse resolution could have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations in the quarter in which these matters are resolved. IRISH GRANTS The Company's manufacturing facility in Limerick, Ireland has received operating and capital grants from Ireland's Industrial Development Authority. A liability to repay up to $18 million of the grants received by the Company would arise in the unlikely event the Company should discontinue its Irish operations prior to the commitment periods noted in the grant agreements which expire at various dates through 2006. WAFER SUPPLY AGREEMENTS In fiscal 1997, in accordance with a previous agreement, the Company paid $12 million to Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte., Ltd. for a total deposit of $20 million. This deposit is classified in the balance sheet line item "Other assets." Under the terms of this agreement, the deposit will guarantee access to certain quantities of sub-micron wafers through fiscal 2000. If the Company does not purchase the minimum quantities under the agreement, the deposit will be forfeited for the value of the wafer shortfall up to the total amount of $20 million. At the end of the agreement term, the Company's deposit will be returned, net of any forfeitures. 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK In March 1997, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Organization to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 450,000,000 to 600,000,000. 25 19 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) STOCK PLANS The 1988 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of nonstatutory and incentive stock options to purchase up to 29,900,000 shares of common stock. Under this plan, options may be granted to selected 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 that 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 to employees which are exercisable on a cumulative basis in annual installments of 33 1/3% each on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. Under the 1994 Director Option Plan, each nonemployee director is granted annually for four years a nonstatutory option to purchase 10,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. A total of 400,000 shares of common stock may be issued under this plan. These options are exercisable on a cumulative basis in annual installments of 33 1/3% each on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The Company also has options outstanding under the 1992 Director Option Plan and the 1989 Director Stock Option Plan. Options granted under these plans are exercisable on a cumulative basis in annual installments of 33 1/3% each on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. Information with respect to activity under the stock option plans is set forth below:

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") 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 579,200 shares in 1997 (664,200 and 835,700 in 1996 and 1995, respectively) for $10.2 million ($9.0 million and $6.9 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively). At November 1, 1997, 964,200 common shares remained available for issuance under the stock purchase plan. Under the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan, a maximum of 2,700,000 shares of common stock was authorized for awards 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 7,372,800 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 1997, 1996 and 1995 were 168,000, 212,000 and 20,000, 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 1997, 1996 and 1995, $2,309,000, $1,949,000 and $1,672,000, respectively, of such compensation was charged to expense. At November 1, 1997, there were 815,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan. As of November 1, 1997, a total of 36,647,062 common shares were reserved for issuance under the Company's stock plans. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations, in accounting for stock-based awards to employees. Under APB 25, the Company generally recognized no compensation expense with respect to such awards. 27 21 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by FAS 123 for awards granted after October 28, 1995 as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of FAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:
OPTIONS ESPP ---------------------- ----------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected life (years) 6.2 6.2 1.0 1.0 Expected stock price volatility 47.7% 43.5% 56.0% 55.8% Risk-free interest rate 6.2% 5.7% 5.8% 5.8% - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a summary of weighted average grant date values generated by application of the Black-Scholes model:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE GRANT DATE VALUE 1997 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock option plans $ 12.68 $8.36 ESPP $ 9.53 $7.37 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As required under FAS 123, the reported net income and earnings per share have been presented to reflect the impact had the Company been required to include the amortization of the Black-Scholes option value as expense. For purposes of this disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The Company's pro forma information follows:
1997 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma net income $170,173 $170,717 Pro forma earnings per share $0.97 $1.00 - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effects on pro forma disclosures of applying FAS 123 are not likely to be representative of the effects on pro forma disclosures of future years. Because FAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to October 28, 1995, the pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until 2000. 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. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS In 1988, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan which was amended in 1989. Pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Plan, each share of common stock has an associated right. Under certain circumstances, each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share, subject to adjustment. 28 22 ANALOG DEVICES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 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 have certain anti-takeover effects, in that they would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire a significant interest in the Company on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. The rights expire on February 12, 1998 but may be redeemed by the Company for $.0067 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. 10. RETIREMENT PLANS The Company and its subsidiaries have various savings and retirement plans covering substantially all employees. The Company maintains a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its eligible United States employees. This plan provides for Company contributions of up to 5% of each participant's total eligible compensation. In addition, the Company contributed an amount equal to each participant's contribution, if any, up to a maximum of 2% of each participant's total eligible compensation. During fiscal 1996, the Company's contributions increased to match an additional 50% of employee contributions between 2% and 4% of 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 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $19 million, $17 million and $14 million, respectively, which primarily consists of costs related to the domestic defined contribution plan. Also included in total expense is pension expense related to foreign defined benefit plans of approximately $3 million for 1997, 1996 and 1995. Summary data related to these foreign plans at November 1, 1997 is as follows: accumulated benefit obligation, substantially vested, of $26 million; projected benefit obligation of $51 million; plan assets at fair value of $51 million; discount rates ranging from 4% to 12%; compensation increase rates ranging from 3% to 10% and expected rate of return on assets ranging from 0% to 13%. 29 23 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

The Company's practice is to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of certain international subsidiaries. Accordingly, no U.S. income taxes have been provided for approximately $470,468,000 of unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized due to the expiration of book and tax capital losses. For tax purposes, the Company has a capital tax loss carryforward of approximately $13,009,000 expiring through the year 2002. The balance for the valuation allowance for deferred assets was $5.6 million at November 1, 1997, $7.4 million at November 2, 1996 and $10.0 million at October 28, 1995. 30 24 ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
