ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 4, 2013
(all tabular amounts in thousands except per share amounts and percentages)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for these interim periods and should be read in conjunction with Analog Devices, Inc.’s (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012 and related notes. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 2, 2013 or any future period.
Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation. Such reclassified amounts are immaterial. The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal 2013 is a 52-week fiscal year and fiscal 2012 was a 53-week fiscal year. The additional week in fiscal 2012 was included in the first quarter ended February 4, 2012. Therefore, the first six months of fiscal 2012 included an additional week of operations as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013.

Note 2 – Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales to customers is generally recognized when title passes, which for shipments to certain foreign countries is subsequent to product shipment. Title for these shipments ordinarily passes within a week of shipment. A reserve for sales returns and allowances for customers is recorded based on historical experience or specific identification of an event necessitating a reserve.
In all regions of the world, the Company defers revenue and the related cost of sales on shipments to distributors until the distributors resell the products to their customers. As a result, the Company’s revenue fully reflects end customer purchases and is not impacted by distributor inventory levels. Sales to distributors are made under agreements that allow distributors to receive price-adjustment credits, as discussed below, and to return qualifying products for credit, as determined by the Company, in order to reduce the amounts of slow-moving, discontinued or obsolete product from their inventory. These agreements limit such returns to a certain percentage of the value of the Company’s shipments to that distributor during the prior quarter. In addition, distributors are allowed to return unsold products if the Company terminates the relationship with the distributor.
Distributors are granted price-adjustment credits for sales to their customers when the distributor’s standard cost (i.e., the Company’s sales price to the distributor) does not provide the distributor with an appropriate margin on its sales to its customers. As distributors negotiate selling prices with their customers, the final sales price agreed upon with the customer will be influenced by many factors, including the particular product being sold, the quantity ordered, the particular customer, the geographic location of the distributor and the competitive landscape. As a result, the distributor may request and receive a price-adjustment credit from the Company to allow the distributor to earn an appropriate margin on the transaction.
Distributors are also granted price-adjustment credits in the event of a price decrease subsequent to the date the product was shipped and billed to the distributor. Generally, the Company will provide a credit equal to the difference between the price paid by the distributor (less any prior credits on such products) and the new price for the product multiplied by the quantity of the specific product in the distributor’s inventory at the time of the price decrease.
Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of price-adjustment credits to be granted to distributors, the sales price to the distributor is not fixed or determinable until the distributor resells the products to their customers. Therefore, the Company defers revenue recognition from sales to distributors until the distributors have sold the products to their customers.
Title to the inventory transfers to the distributor at the time of shipment or delivery to the distributor, and payment from the distributor is due in accordance with the Company’s standard payment terms. These payment terms are not contingent upon the distributors’ sale of the products to their customers. Upon title transfer to distributors, inventory is reduced for the cost of goods shipped, the margin (sales less cost of sales) is recorded as “deferred income on shipments to distributors, net” and an account receivable is recorded. Shipping costs are charged to cost of sales as incurred.

The deferred costs of sales to distributors have historically had very little risk of impairment due to the margins the Company earns on sales of its products and the relatively long life-cycle of the Company’s products. Product returns from distributors that are ultimately scrapped have historically been immaterial. In addition, price-protection and price-adjustment credits granted to distributors historically have not exceeded the margins the Company earns on sales of its products. The

5



Company continuously monitors the level and nature of product returns and is in frequent contact with the distributors to ensure reserves are established for all known material issues.
As of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company had gross deferred revenue of $304.6 million and $299.0 million, respectively, and gross deferred cost of sales of $60.4 million and $60.5 million, respectively. Deferred income on shipments to distributors increased in the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of a mix shift in favor of higher margin products sold through the channel.
The Company generally offers a 12-month warranty for its products. The Company’s warranty policy provides for replacement of defective products. Specific accruals are recorded for known product warranty issues. Product warranty expenses during each of the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012 were not material.

Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the grant-date fair value of the awards ultimately expected to vest, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally five years for stock options and three years for restricted stock units. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded requires the Company to develop estimates used in calculating the grant-date fair value of stock options.

Grant-Date Fair Value — The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the grant-date fair value of stock option awards. The use of valuation models requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions, such as expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield and forfeiture rates. The grant-date fair value of restricted stock units represents the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting.
Information pertaining to the Company’s stock option awards and the related estimated weighted-average assumptions to calculate the fair value of stock options granted during the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012 are as follows:

Expected volatility — The Company is responsible for estimating volatility and has considered a number of factors, including third-party estimates. The Company currently believes that the exclusive use of implied volatility results in the best estimate of the grant-date fair value of employee stock options because it reflects the market’s current expectations of future volatility. In evaluating the appropriateness of exclusively relying on implied volatility, the Company concluded that: (1) options in the Company’s common stock are actively traded with sufficient volume on several exchanges; (2) the market prices of both the traded options and the underlying shares are measured at a similar point in time to each other and on a date close to the grant date of the employee share options; (3) the traded options have exercise prices that are both near-the-money and close to the exercise price of the employee share options; and (4) the remaining maturities of the traded options used to estimate volatility are at least one year.

Expected term — The Company uses historical employee exercise and option expiration data to estimate the expected term assumption for the Black-Scholes grant-date valuation. The Company believes that this historical data is currently the best estimate of the expected term of a new option, and that generally its employees exhibit similar exercise behavior.
Risk-free interest rate — The yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term assumption is used as the risk-free interest rate.

6



Expected dividend yield — Expected dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the cash dividend declared by the Company’s Board of Directors for the current quarter and dividing that result by the closing stock price on the date of grant. Until such time as the Company’s Board of Directors declares a cash dividend for an amount that is different from the current quarter’s cash dividend, the current dividend will be used in deriving this assumption. Cash dividends are not paid on options, restricted stock or restricted stock units.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock-based award. Based on an analysis of its historical forfeitures, the Company has applied an annual forfeiture rate of 4.4% to all unvested stock-based awards as of May 4, 2013. The rate of 4.4% represents the portion that is expected to be forfeited each year over the vesting period. This analysis will be re-evaluated quarterly and the forfeiture rate will be adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those options that vest.
Additional paid-in-capital (APIC) Pool
The APIC pool represents the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation that are available to absorb future tax deficiencies. If the amount of future tax deficiencies is greater than the available APIC pool, the Company records the excess as income tax expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013, the Company had a sufficient APIC pool to cover any tax deficiencies recorded and as a result, these deficiencies did not affect its results of operations. During the three-month period ended May 5, 2012, the Company recorded excess tax benefits of $0.3 million. The Company applied these excess tax benefits to the $1.8 million income tax expense previously recorded during the three-month period ended February 4, 2012, resulting in $1.5 million of income tax expense for the six-month period ended May 5, 2012.

As of May 4, 2013, there was $106.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based awards comprised of stock options and restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total grant-date fair value of shares that vested during the three and six months ended May 4, 2013 was approximately $11.9 million and $62.1 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of shares that vested during the three and six months ended May 5, 2012 was approximately $1.8 million and $26.8 million, respectively.

Note 4 – Common Stock Repurchase
The Company’s common stock repurchase program has been in place since August 2004. In the aggregate, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase $5.0 billion of the Company’s common stock under the program. Under the program, the Company may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when the Company has repurchased all shares authorized under the program. As of May 4, 2013, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 129.2 million shares of its common stock for approximately

8



$4,439.0 million under this program. As of May 4, 2013 an additional $561.0 million remains available for repurchase of shares under the current authorized program. The repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Any future common stock repurchases will be dependent upon several factors, including the amount of cash available to the Company in the United States and the Company’s financial performance, outlook and liquidity. The Company also, from time to time, repurchases shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units, or in certain limited circumstances to satisfy the exercise price of options granted to the Company’s employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans.

The aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012 was $1,112.7 million and $1,214.1 million, respectively. These unrealized losses were primarily related to corporate obligations that earn lower interest rates than current market rates. None of these investments have been in a loss position for more than twelve months.
Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities classified as short-term investments at May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012 are as follows:

Realized gains or losses on investments are determined based on the specific identification basis and are recognized in nonoperating (income) expense. Gross realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale investments during the three- and six-month periods ended May 5, 2012 were approximately $1.3 million and approximately $0.1 million, respectively. There were no material net realized gains or losses from the sales of available-for-sale investments during any other of the fiscal periods presented.

Note 6 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to stock option programs and other potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period. In addition, the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the average unrecognized compensation expense of stock options that are in-the-money and restricted stock units. This results in the “assumed” buyback of additional shares, thereby reducing the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options. Potential shares related to certain of the Company’s outstanding stock options were excluded because they were anti-dilutive. Those potential shares, determined based on the weighted average exercise prices during the respective years, related to the Company’s outstanding stock options could be dilutive in the future.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Reduction of Operating Costs
During fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $22.1 million. These special charges included: $21.1 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with its ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 269 manufacturing, engineering and selling, marketing, general and administrative (SMG&A) employees; $0.2 million for lease obligation costs for facilities that the Company ceased using during the third quarter of fiscal 2012; $0.1 million for contract termination costs; $0.2 million for the write-off of property, plant and equipment; and $0.5 million related to the impairment of intellectual property. The Company terminated the employment of all employees associated with these actions.

11



During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a special charge of approximately $14.1 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with its ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 137 manufacturing, engineering and SMG&A employees. As of May 4, 2013, the Company employed 6 of the 137 employees included in this cost reduction action. These employees must continue to be employed by the Company until their employment is involuntarily terminated in order to receive the severance benefit.

Note 8 – Segment Information
The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment based on the aggregation of five operating segments. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Revenue Trends by End Market
The following table summarizes revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the “sold to” customer information, the “ship to” customer information and the end customer product or application into which the Company’s product will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, the Company reclassifies revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

Revenue Trends by Product Type
The following table summarizes revenue by product categories. The categorization of the Company’s products into broad categories is based on the characteristics of the individual products, the specification of the products and in some cases the specific uses that certain products have within applications. The categorization of products into categories is therefore subject to judgment in some cases and can vary over time. In instances where products move between product categories, the Company reclassifies the amounts in the product categories for all prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each product category.

Note 9 – Fair Value
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The tables below, set forth by level, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, excluding accrued interest components that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012. The tables exclude cash on hand and assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value. As of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company held $51.3 million and $38.9 million, respectively, of cash and held-to-maturity investments that were excluded from the tables below.

The amortized cost of the Company’s investments classified as available-for-sale as of November 3, 2012 was $3,327.5 million.

The Company has a master netting arrangement by counterparty with respect to derivative contracts. As of November 3, 2012, contracts in a liability position of $1.9 million were netted against contracts in an asset position in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash equivalents and short-term investments — These investments are adjusted to fair value based on quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates.
Deferred compensation plan investments — The fair value of these mutual fund, money market fund and equity investments are based on quoted market prices.
Interest rate derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts — The estimated fair value of interest rate derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which includes derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow hedges and those that are not designated as cash flow hedges, is based on the estimated amount the Company would receive if it sold these agreements at the reporting date taking into consideration current interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and the Company’s creditworthiness for liabilities.

Contingent consideration — The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated utilizing the income approach and is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. The income approach is based on two steps. The first step involves a projection of the cash flows that is based on the Company’s estimates of the timing and probability of achieving the

16



defined milestones. The second step involves converting the cash flows into a present value equivalent through discounting. The discount rate reflects the Baa costs of debt plus the relevant risk associated with the asset and the time value of money.
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration encompasses the following significant unobservable inputs:

Range
Estimated contingent consideration payments
$9,000
Discount rate
7% - 10%
Timing of cash flows
1 - 20 months
Probability of achievement
100%
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date that are primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. Significant increases or decreases in any of the inputs in isolation may result in a fluctuation in the fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of November 3, 2012 and May 4, 2013:

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
On June 30, 2009, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2014 (the 5.0% Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2010. Based on quotes received from third-party banks, the fair value of the 5.0% Notes as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012 was $394.2 million and $402.5 million, respectively, and is classified as a Level 1 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy.
On April 4, 2011, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2016 (the 3.0% Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2011. Based on quotes received from third-party banks, the fair value of the 3.0% Notes as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012 was $397.3 million and $402.3 million, respectively, and is classified as a Level 1 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy.

Note 10 – Derivatives
Foreign Exchange Exposure Management — The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures from the impact of 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 the Euro; other significant exposures include the Philippine Peso and the British Pound. These foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to support transactions made in the normal course of business, and accordingly, are not speculative in nature. The contracts are for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transactions, generally one year or less. Hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of the respective hedges as cash flow hedges and are evaluated for effectiveness monthly. Derivative instruments are employed to eliminate or minimize certain foreign currency exposures that can be confidently identified and quantified. As the terms of the contract and the underlying transaction are matched at inception, forward contract effectiveness is calculated by comparing the change in fair value of the contract to the change in the forward value of the anticipated transaction, with the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative; comprehensive (loss) income (OCI) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings

17



in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any residual change in fair value of the instruments, or ineffectiveness, is recognized immediately in other (income) expense. Additionally, the Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts that economically hedge the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are recognized in other (income) expense immediately as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the asset or liability being hedged. As of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the total notional amount of these undesignated hedges was $36.7 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these hedging instruments in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012 was immaterial.
Interest Rate Exposure Management — The Company's current and future debt may be subject to interest rate risk.  The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce the effects of these changes. The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $0.9 million and was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 4, 2013.
On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions related to its outstanding 5.0% senior unsecured notes where the Company swapped the notional amount of its $375.0 million of fixed rate debt at 5.0% into floating interest rate debt through July 1, 2014. Under the terms of the swaps, the Company would (i) receive on the $375.0 million notional amount a 5.0% annual interest payment that is paid in two installments on the 1st business day of every January and July, commencing January 1, 2010 through and ending on the maturity date; and (ii) pay on the $375.0 million notional amount an annual three months LIBOR plus 2.05% interest payment, payable in four installments on the 1st business day of every January, April, July and October, commencing on October 1, 2009 and ending on the maturity date. The LIBOR-based rate was set quarterly three months prior to the date of the interest payment. The Company designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The fair value of the swaps at inception was zero and subsequent changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were reflected in the carrying value of the interest rate swaps on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet was adjusted by an equal and offsetting amount. The amounts earned and owed under the swap agreements were accrued each period and were reported in interest expense. There was no ineffectiveness recognized in any of the periods presented. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement. The Company received $19.8 million in cash proceeds from the swap termination, which included $1.3 million in accrued interest. The proceeds, net of interest received, are disclosed in cash flows from financing activities in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the termination, the carrying value of the 5.0% Notes was adjusted for the change in the fair value of the interest component of the debt up to the date of the termination of the swap in an amount equal to the fair value of the swap, and will be amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. This amortization is reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities. During fiscal year 2012, $5.3 million was amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense related to the swap termination. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, $4.0 million was amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense related to the swap termination.
The market risk associated with the Company’s derivative instruments results from currency exchange rate or interest rate movements that are 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 derivative instruments consist of a number of major international financial institutions with high credit ratings. Based on the credit ratings of the Company’s counterparties as of May 4, 2013, nonperformance is not perceived to be a significant risk. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivatives are subject to collateral or other security arrangements and none contain provisions that are dependent on the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency. 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. As a result of the above considerations, the Company does not consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant.

The Company records the fair value of its derivative financial instruments in its condensed consolidated financial statements in other current assets, other assets or accrued liabilities, depending on their net position, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in earnings or in shareholders’ equity as a component of OCI. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI and reclassified into earnings when the underlying contract matures. Changes in the fair values of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are reported in earnings as they occur.
The total notional amounts of forward foreign currency derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments of cash flow hedges denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Philippine Pesos and Japanese Yen as of May 4, 2013 and November 3,

18



2012 was $163.4 million and $151.8 million, respectively. The fair values of these hedging instruments in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012 were as follows:

Note 11 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis on the first day of the fourth quarter (on or about August 4) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For the Company’s latest annual impairment assessment that occurred on August 5, 2012, the Company identified its reporting units to be its five operating segments, which meet the aggregation criteria for one reportable segment. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method, as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. No impairment of goodwill resulted in any of the fiscal periods presented. The Company’s next annual impairment assessment will be performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, unless indicators arise that would require the Company to reevaluate at an earlier date. The following table presents the changes in goodwill during the first six months of fiscal 2013:

Intangible Assets
The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. As of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consisted of the following which related to the acquisition of Multigig, Inc. (See Note 16, Acquisitions, below):

Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $0.1 million for the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013. Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets for the three- and six-month periods ended May 5, 2012 was immaterial. The remaining amortization expense will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years.
The Company expects annual amortization expense for intangible assets to be:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of the fourth quarter (on or about August 4) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The impairment test involves the comparison of the fair values of the intangible assets with their carrying values. No impairment of intangible assets resulted from the impairment tests in any of the fiscal years presented.
Intangible assets, excluding in-process research and development (IPR&D), are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or on an accelerated method of amortization that is expected to reflect the estimated pattern of economic use. IPR&D assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. Upon completion of the projects, the IPR&D assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of $27.8 million of IPR&D as of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012.

Note 12 – Pension Plans
The Company has various defined benefit pension and other retirement plans for certain non-U.S. employees that are consistent with local statutory requirements and practices. The Company’s funding policy for its foreign defined benefit pension plans is consistent with the local requirements of each country. The plans’ assets consist primarily of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities, bonds, property and cash.
Net periodic pension cost of non-U.S. plans is presented in the following table:

Note 13 – Revolving Credit Facility

As of May 4, 2013, the Company had $4,172.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which $1,180.6 million was held in the United States. The balance of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As the Company intends to reinvest its foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash is not available to meet the Company's cash requirements in the United States, including cash dividends and common stock repurchases. During December 2012, the Company terminated its five-year, $165.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders entered into in May 2008. On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into a five-year, $500.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders (the Credit Agreement). To date, the Company has not borrowed under this credit facility but the Company may borrow in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement (other than swing line loans) bear interest, at the Company's option, at either a rate equal to (a) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin based on the Company's debt rating or (b) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Bank of America prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus .50% and (iii) one month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on the Company's debt rating. The terms of the facility impose restrictions on the Company’s ability to undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a consolidated leverage ratio covenant of total consolidated funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. As of May 4, 2013, the Company was compliant with these covenants.

Note 14 – Debt
On June 30, 2009, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2014 (the 5.0% Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2010. The sale of the 5.0% Notes was made pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement dated June 25, 2009 between the Company and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein. The net proceeds of the offering were $370.4 million, after issuing at a discount and deducting expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions, which will be amortized over the term of the 5.0% Notes. The indenture governing the 5.0% Notes contains covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other party. As of May 4, 2013, the Company was compliant with these covenants. The notes are subordinated to any future secured debt and to the other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.
On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions where the Company swapped the notional amount of its $375.0 million of fixed rate debt at 5.0% into floating interest rate debt through July 1, 2014. Under the terms of the swaps, the Company would (i) receive on the $375.0 million notional amount a 5.0% annual interest payment that is paid in two installments on the 1st business day of every January and July, commencing January 1, 2010 through and ending on the maturity date; and (ii) pay on the $375.0 million notional amount an annual three month LIBOR plus 2.05% interest payment, payable in four installments on the 1st business day of every January, April, July and October, commencing on October 1, 2009 and ending on the maturity date. The LIBOR-based rate was set quarterly three months prior to the date of the interest payment. The Company designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were

21



reflected in the carrying value of the interest rate swaps in other assets on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet was adjusted by an equal and offsetting amount. In fiscal 2012, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement. The Company received $19.8 million in cash proceeds from the swap termination, which included $1.3 million in accrued interest. The proceeds, net of interest received, are disclosed in cash flows from financing activities in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the termination, the carrying value of the 5.0% Notes was adjusted for the change in the fair value of the interest component of the debt up to the date of the termination of the swap in an amount equal to the fair value of the swap, and will be amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. This amortization is reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities. During fiscal year 2012, $5.3 million was amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense related to the swap termination. During the first six months of fiscal year 2013, $4.0 million was amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense related to the swap termination.
On December 22, 2010, Analog Devices Holdings B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., London Branch as administrative agent. The borrower’s obligations were guaranteed by the Company. The credit agreement provided for a term loan facility of $145.0 million, which was set to mature on December 22, 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on the loan of $60.1 million and the credit agreement was terminated. The terms of the agreement provided for a three year principal amortization schedule with $3.6 million payable quarterly every March, June, September and December with the balance payable upon the maturity date. During fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, the Company made additional principal payments of $17.5 million and $42.0 million, respectively. The loan bore interest at a fluctuating rate for each period equal to the LIBOR rate corresponding with the tenor of the interest period plus a spread of 1.25%. The terms of this facility included limitations on subsidiary indebtedness and on liens against the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and also included financial covenants that required the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and not exceed a maximum leverage ratio.
On April 4, 2011, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2016 (the 3.0% Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2011. The sale of the 3.0% Notes was made pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement dated March 30, 2011 between the Company and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated, as representative of the several underwriters named therein. The net proceeds of the offering were $370.5 million, after issuing at a discount and deducting expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions, which will be amortized over the term of the 3.0% Notes. The indenture governing the 3.0% Notes contains covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other party. As of May 4, 2013, the Company was compliant with these covenants. The notes are subordinated to any future secured debt and to the other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Company’s principal payments related to its debt obligations are due as follows: $375.0 million in fiscal year 2014; and $375.0 million in fiscal year 2016.

Note 16 – Acquisitions
On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired privately-held Multigig, Inc. (Multigig) of San Jose, California. The acquisition of Multigig is expected to enhance the Company’s clocking capabilities in stand-alone and embedded applications and strengthen the Company’s high speed signal processing solutions. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $26.8 million, which consisted of $24.2 million in initial cash payments at closing and an additional $2.6 million subject to an indemnification holdback that is payable within 15 months of the transaction date, which is included in accrued liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 4, 2013. The Company’s assessment of fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $15.6 million of IPR&D, $1.1 million of developed technology, $7.0 million of goodwill and $3.1 million of net deferred tax assets. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have

22



yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Multigig. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reduced this holdback amount by $0.1 million as a result of indemnification claims. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company finalized its purchase accounting for Multigig, which resulted in adjustments of $0.4 million to deferred taxes and goodwill. In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay royalties to the Multigig employees on revenue recognized from the sale of certain Multigig products through the earlier of 5 years or the aggregate maximum payment of $1.0 million. Royalty payments to Multigig employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the Company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. As of May 4, 2013, no royalty payments have been made. The Company recognized $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2012, which were included in operating expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of income.
On June 9, 2011, the Company acquired privately-held Lyric Semiconductor, Inc. (Lyric) of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The acquisition of Lyric gives the Company the potential to achieve significant improvement in power efficiency in mixed signal processing. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $27.8 million, which consisted of $14.0 million in initial cash payments at closing and contingent consideration of up to $13.8 million. The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of Lyric upon the achievement of certain technological and product development milestones payable during the period from June 2011 through June 2016. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement utilizing the income approach. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. As of May 4, 2013, the Company had paid $6.0 million in contingent consideration. These payments are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash used in financing activities related to the liability recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and cash provided by operating activities related to the fair value adjustments previously recognized in earnings. The Company’s assessment of fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $12.2 million of IPR&D, $18.9 million of goodwill and $3.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Lyric. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was approximately $8.3 million as of May 4, 2013, of which $3.8 million is included in accrued liabilities and $4.5 million is included in other non-current liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay royalties to the former equity holders of Lyric on revenue recognized from the sale of Lyric products and licenses through the earlier of 20 years or the accrual of a maximum of $25.0 million. Royalty payments to Lyric employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the Company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. As of May 4, 2013, no royalty payments have been made. The Company recognized $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2011, which were included in operating expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of income.
The Company has not provided pro forma results of operations for Multigig and Lyric herein as these acquisitions were not considered material to the Company on either an individual or an aggregate basis. The Company included the results of operations of each acquisition in its condensed consolidated statement of income from the date of each acquisition.

Note 17 – Income Taxes
The Company has provided for potential tax liabilities due in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide income tax expense provision. In the ordinary course of global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of cost reimbursement arrangements among related entities. Although the Company believes its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company's effective tax rate reflects the applicable tax rate in effect in the various tax jurisdictions around the world where its income is earned. The Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2013 reflects income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions established through an international tax restructuring effective January 1, 2013. In addition, the Company's effective tax rate includes a tax benefit from the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research and development tax credit in January 2013 retroactive to January 1, 2012 of $6.3 million and a tax benefit recorded as a result of the reversal of certain prior period tax liabilities of $6.6 million which combined resulted in lowering the Company's effective tax rate by approximately 4%.

23



The Company has filed a petition with the Tax Court for one open matter for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 that pertains to Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code related to the beneficial tax treatment of dividends paid from foreign owned companies under The American Jobs Creation Act. The potential liability for this adjustment is $36.5 million. The Company has concluded, based on discussions with its tax advisors that this item is not likely to result in any additional tax liability. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any additional tax liability for this issue.
The Company’s U.S. federal tax returns prior to fiscal year 2009 are no longer subject to examination.
The Company’s tax returns in Ireland prior to fiscal year 2008 are no longer subject to examination.

Note 18 – New Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Implemented
Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU No. 2011-05). ASU No. 2011-05 amended Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income, to converge the presentation of comprehensive income between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and requires reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement in changes of stockholders equity. ASU No. 2011-05 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, which was the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 affected the presentation of comprehensive income but did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Standards to be Implemented
Balance Sheet
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU No. 2011-11). ASU No. 2011-11 amended ASC 210, Balance Sheet, to converge the presentation of offsetting assets and liabilities between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-11 requires that entities disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013, which is the Company’s fiscal year 2014. Subsequently, in January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 and ASU No. 2013-01 will require additional disclosures related to offsetting assets and liabilities but will not impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Comprehensive Income
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU No. 2013-02), which seek to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-02 supersede the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, and ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, which is the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 will affect the presentation of comprehensive income but will not impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Note 19 – Subsequent Event
On May 20, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.34 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on June 11, 2013 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2013.

Fiscal 2013 is a 52-week year and fiscal 2012 was a 53-week year. The additional week in fiscal 2012 was included in the first quarter ended February 4, 2012. Therefore, the first six months of fiscal 2012 included an additional week of operations as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013.

The year-to-year revenue changes by end market and product type are more fully outlined below under Revenue Trends by End Market and Revenue Trends by Product Type.
During the first six months of fiscal 2013, our revenue decreased 3% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012. Our diluted earnings per share in the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $0.95 compared to $0.99 in the first six months of fiscal 2012. Cash flow from operations in the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $410.2 million, or 32% of revenue. During the first six months of fiscal 2013, we received $176.0 million in net proceeds from employee stock options, paid $204.8 million for the net purchases of available-for-sale short term investments, distributed $195.1 million to our shareholders in dividend payments, repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on our $145.0 million term loan facility of $60.1 million and paid $44.4 million for property, plant and equipment additions. These factors contributed to the net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $66.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013.
The year-to-year decrease in revenue was attributable to one less week of operations in the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 and a weak demand environment as a result of ongoing economic uncertainty. We believe that our variable cost structure and continued efforts to manage production, inventory levels and expenses helped to mitigate the effect that these lower sales levels had on our earnings.
Revenue Trends by End Market
The following table summarizes revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the “sold to” customer information, the “ship to” customer information and the end customer product or application into which our product will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, we reclassify revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

The year-to-year decrease in revenue in the industrial, consumer and communications end markets in the three-month period ended May 4, 2013 was primarily the result of a weak demand environment. Automotive end market revenue increased in the three-month period ended May 4, 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in the demand for products used in powertrain electronics.
The year-to-year decrease in revenue in the industrial, consumer and automotive end markets in the six-month period ended May 4, 2013 was primarily the result of a weak demand environment and one less week of operations in the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012.
Revenue Trends by Product Type

The following table summarizes revenue by product categories. The categorization of our products into broad categories is based on the characteristics of the individual products, the specification of the products and in some cases the specific uses that certain products have within applications. The categorization of products into categories is therefore subject to judgment in some cases and can vary over time. In instances where products move between product categories, we reclassify the amounts in the product categories for all prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each product category.

The year-to-year decrease in total revenue in the three-month period ended May 4, 2013 was primarily the result of a broad-based decrease in demand across most product type categories.
The year-to-year decrease in total revenue in the six-month period ended May 4, 2013 was the result of one less week of operations in the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 and a broad-based decrease in demand across most product type categories.

In the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012, the predominant country comprising “Rest of North and South America” is Canada; the predominant countries comprising “Europe” are Germany, Sweden, France and the United Kingdom; and the predominant countries comprising “Rest of Asia” are Taiwan and South Korea.
On a regional basis, the year-over-year sales decline in Japan and sales increase in the United States for the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013 were primarily the result of product transitions within consumer applications. In addition, the sales increase in the United States in the three-month period ended May 4, 2013 was partially attributable to an increase in demand in the automotive end market. The year-over-year sales decline in Europe in the six-month period ended May 4, 2013 was primarily a result of lower demand in the industrial and automotive end markets.

Gross margin percentage was lower by 120 and 80 basis points in the three and six months ended May 4, 2013, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended May 5, 2012, respectively, primarily as a result of decreased operating levels in our manufacturing facilities driven by our efforts to balance manufacturing production, demand and inventory levels.

R&D expenses remained flat in the three and six months ended May 4, 2013 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2012 as increases in employee salary and benefit expenses and other operational spending were offset by lower variable compensation expense, which is a variable expense linked to our overall profitability and revenue growth.
R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue will fluctuate from year-to-year depending on the amount of revenue and the success of new product development efforts, which we view as critical to our future growth. We have hundreds of R&D projects underway, none of which we believe are material on an individual basis. We expect to continue the development of innovative technologies and processes for new products. We believe that a continued commitment to R&D is essential to maintain product leadership with our existing products as well as to provide innovative new product offerings, and therefore, we expect to continue to make significant R&D investments in the future.

The increases in SMG&A expenses in the three- and six-month periods ended May 4, 2013 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2012 were primarily the result of recording $6.3 million of stock-based compensation expense following the death of the Company's CEO in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock units in accordance with the terms of his restricted stock unit agreement. These increases in expense were partially offset by lower variable compensation expense, which is a variable expense linked to our overall profitability and revenue growth.
Special Charges – Reduction of Operating Costs
We monitor global macroeconomic conditions on an ongoing basis, and continue to assess opportunities for improved operational effectiveness and efficiency as well as a better alignment of expenses with revenues. As a result of these assessments, we have undertaken various restructuring actions over the past several years. These reductions relating to ongoing actions are described below.
During fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012, we recorded special charges of approximately $22.1 million. These special charges included: $21.1 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with our ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 269 manufacturing, engineering and SMG&A employees; $0.2 million for lease obligation costs for facilities that we ceased using during the third quarter of fiscal 2012; $0.1 million for contract termination costs; $0.2 million for the write-off of property, plant and equipment; and $0.5 million related to the impairment of intellectual property. These actions resulted in annual cost savings of approximately $32.0 million. We have terminated the employment of all employees associated with these actions.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a special charge of approximately $14.1 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with our ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 137 manufacturing, engineering and SMG&A employees. As of May 4, 2013, we employed 6 of the 137 employees included in this cost reduction action. These employees must continue to be employed by us until their employment is involuntarily terminated in order to receive the severance benefit. We estimate this action will result in annual cost savings of approximately $17.0 million once fully implemented.

Our effective tax rate reflects the applicable tax rate in effect in the various tax jurisdictions around the world where our income is earned.
The decrease in our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions as a result of an international tax restructuring effective January 1, 2013. In addition, our effective tax rate was lower by approximately 4% due to a tax benefit of $6.6 million recorded as a result of the reversal of certain prior period tax liabilities. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 also included a benefit related to the application of the U.S. federal research and development tax credit which was not available in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions as a result of an international tax restructuring effective January 1, 2013. In addition, our effective tax rate was lower by 4% due to a tax benefit from the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research and development tax credit in January 2013 retroactive to January 1, 2012 of $6.3 million and a tax benefit of $6.6 million recorded as a result of the reversal of certain prior period tax liabilities.
We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 16.5% for the remainder of fiscal 2013.

The year-over-year decrease in net income in the six months ended May 4, 2013 was primarily a result of the $51.4 million decrease in operating income partially offset by a lower provision for income taxes in the first six months of fiscal 2013.
Outlook
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and our actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the important factors contained in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless specifically mentioned, these statements do not give effect to the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or business combinations that may be announced or closed after the date of filing this report. These statements supersede all prior statements regarding our business outlook made by us and we disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
We are planning for revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to be in the range of approximately $655 million to $685 million. Our plan is for gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to be approximately 64.5% and for operating expenses to be approximately $226 million. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 16.5%. As a result, we are planning for diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.51 to $0.56 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 4, 2013, our principal source of liquidity was $4,172.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which approximately $1,180.6 million was held in the United States. The balance of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As we intend to
reinvest our foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash held outside the United States is not available to meet our cash requirements in the United States, including cash dividends and common stock repurchases. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition and our short-term investments consist primarily of corporate obligations, such as commercial paper and floating rate notes, bonds and bank time deposits. We maintain these balances with high credit quality counterparties, continually monitor the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and diversify our investments in order to minimize our credit risk.
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with existing and anticipated available long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, research and development efforts, dividend payments (if any) and repurchases of our stock (if any) under our stock repurchase program in the immediate future and for at least the next twelve months.

These factors contributed to the net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $66.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013.

The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily the result of lower revenue in the final month of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the final month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Days sales outstanding increased as a result of higher product shipments made to our distributors in the final month of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the final month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
Inventory decreased as a result of our continued efforts to balance manufacturing production, demand and inventory levels. Days cost of sales in inventory increased from 114 days at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 to 115 days at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as a result of the decline in cost of sales by 6% while inventory decreased by only 5% for the same period.
Current liabilities decreased to $509.2 million at May 4, 2013, a decrease of $15.9 million, or 3%, from $525.1 million at the end of fiscal 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accrued liabilities as a result of lower variable compensation expense accruals and a decrease in the current portion of long term debt that related to the $145 million term loan facility, which we repaid in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable and an increase in deferred income on shipments to distributors, net, which is more fully described below.
As of May 4, 2013 and November 3, 2012, we had gross deferred revenue of $304.6 million and $299.0 million, respectively, and gross deferred cost of sales of $60.4 million and $60.5 million, respectively. Deferred income on shipments to distributors increased in the first six months of fiscal 2013 as a result of a mix shift in favor of higher margin products in the channel. Sales to distributors are made under agreements that allow distributors to receive price-adjustment credits and to

31



return qualifying products for credit, as determined by us, in order to reduce the amounts of slow-moving, discontinued or obsolete product from their inventory. Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of price-adjustment credits to be granted to distributors, the sales price to the distributors is not fixed or determinable until the distributors resell the products to their customers. Therefore, we defer revenue recognition from sales to distributors until the distributors have sold the products to their customers. The amount of price-adjustments is dependent on future overall market conditions, and therefore the levels of these adjustments could fluctuate significantly from period to period. To the extent that we experience a significant increase in the amount of credits we issue to our distributors, there could be a material impact on the ultimate revenue and gross margin recognized relating to these transactions.
Debt
As of May 4, 2013, we had $750.0 million in principal outstanding on our long term debt. Our debt obligations consist of the following:
$375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes
On June 30, 2009, we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2014 (the 5.0% Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2010. We swapped the fixed interest portion of these notes for a variable interest rate based on the three-month LIBOR plus 2.05%. The variable interest payments based on the variable annual rate are payable quarterly. The LIBOR based rate is set quarterly three months prior to the date of the interest payment. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we terminated the interest rate swap agreement. We received $19.8 million in cash proceeds from the swap termination, which included $1.3 million in accrued interest. The proceeds, net of interest received, are disclosed in cash flows from financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the termination, the carrying value of the 5.0% Notes was adjusted for the change in fair value of the interest component of the debt up to the date of the termination of the swap in an amount equal to the fair value of the swap, and will be amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. This amortization is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities.
$375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes
On April 4, 2011, we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2016 (the 3.0% Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2011.
The indenture governing the 5.0% Notes and 3.0% Notes contains covenants that may limit our ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to, any other party. As of May 4, 2013, we were compliant with these covenants. See Note 14, Debt, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our outstanding debt.
Revolving Credit Facility
During December 2012, we terminated our five-year, $165.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders entered into in May 2008. On December 19, 2012, we entered into a five-year, $500.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders. To date, we have not borrowed under this credit facility but we may borrow in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. The terms of the facility impose restrictions on our ability to undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the credit agreement contains a consolidated leverage ratio covenant of total consolidated funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. As of May 4, 2013, we were compliant with these covenants.

$145.0 million term loan facility
On December 22, 2010, Analog Devices Holdings B.V., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., London Branch as administrative agent. The credit agreement provided for a $145.0 million term loan facility, which was set to mature on December 22, 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on the loan of $60.1 million and the credit agreement was terminated.

Stock Repurchase Program

32



Our common stock repurchase program has been in place since August 2004. In the aggregate, our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase $5.0 billion of our common stock under the program. Under the program, we may repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized under the program. As of May 4, 2013, we had repurchased a total of approximately 129.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $4,439.0 million under this program. As of May 4, 2013, an additional $561.0 million remains available for repurchase of shares under the current authorized program. The repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. We also from time to time repurchase shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units or the exercise of stock options, or in certain limited circumstances to satisfy the exercise price of options granted to our employees under our equity compensation plans. Any future common stock repurchases will be based on several factors, including our financial performance, outlook, liquidity and the amount of cash we have available in the United States.
Capital Expenditures
Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $44.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and were funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of approximately $100 to $120 million in fiscal 2013 to be used primarily for our manufacturing and engineering capabilities, which will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
Dividends
On May 20, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.34 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on June 11, 2013 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2013 and is expected to total approximately $104.8 million. We currently expect quarterly dividends to continue at $0.34 per share, although they remain subject to determination and declaration by our Board of Directors. The payment of future dividends, if any, will be based on several factors, including our financial performance, outlook and liquidity.

Contractual Obligations
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $60.1 million on our $145.0 million term loan. As a result of the repayment, the amounts previously reflected as “Debt obligations” in the contractual obligations table contained in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012 are lower by $60.1 million.
There have not been any other material changes during the first six months of fiscal 2013 to the amounts presented in the table summarizing our contractual obligations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012.

New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards will not have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. See Note 18, New Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, including the dates of adoption and impact on our historical financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no material changes in the first six months of fiscal 2013 to the information provided under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012.

ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in the first six months of fiscal 2013 to the information provided under Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures

33



(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 4, 2013. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 4, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended May 4, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A.
Risk Factors
Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are descriptions of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. The description below includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors affecting our business previously discussed in "Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012.
Disruptions in global credit and financial markets could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

There is significant continuing uncertainty regarding the stability of global credit and financial markets. These economic uncertainties may lead consumers and businesses to postpone spending, which may cause our customers to cancel, decrease or delay their existing and future orders for our products and make it difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. Uncertainty regarding the future stability of the Euro Zone could cause the value of the Euro to deteriorate, thus reducing the purchasing power of our European customers. In addition, financial difficulties experienced by our suppliers or distributors could result in product delays, increased accounts receivable defaults and inventory challenges. During the past few years, many governments adopted stimulus or spending programs designed to ease the economic impact of the crisis. Some of our businesses benefited from these stimulus programs and there can be no assurance that such programs will continue in the future. If economic conditions deteriorate, we may record additional charges relating to restructuring costs or the impairment of assets and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our future revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income are difficult to predict and may materially fluctuate.
Our future revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income are difficult to predict and may be materially affected by a number of factors, including:
the effects of adverse economic conditions in the markets in which we sell our products;
changes in customer demand for our products and for end products that incorporate our products;
our ability to effectively manage our cost structure in both the short term and over a longer duration;
the timing of new product announcements or introductions by us, our customers or our competitors;
competitive pricing pressures;
fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability of wafers and other raw materials, and manufacturing, assembly and test capacity;
the ability of our third-party suppliers, subcontractors and manufacturers to supply us with sufficient quantities of raw materials, products and/or components;
any significant decline in our backlog;

34



the timing, delay or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability to manage inventory;
our ability to hire, retain and motivate adequate numbers of engineers and other qualified employees to meet the demands of our customers;
changes in geographic, product or customer mix;
our ability to utilize our manufacturing facilities at efficient levels;
potential significant litigation-related costs;
the difficulties inherent in forecasting future operating expense levels, including with respect to costs associated with labor, utilities, transportation and raw materials;
the costs related to compliance with increasing worldwide environmental and social responsibility regulations;
changes in our effective tax rates in the United States, Ireland or worldwide; and
the effects of public health emergencies, natural disasters, widespread travel disruptions, security risks, terrorist activities, international conflicts and other events beyond our control.

In addition, the semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic upturns and downturns. Our business is subject to rapid technological changes and there can be no assurance (i) that products stocked in our inventory will not be rendered obsolete before we ship them, or (ii) that we will be able to produce products in a timely fashion to accommodate changing customer demand. As a result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that we will not experience material fluctuations in future revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, if our revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock may decline.
Changes in our effective tax rate may impact our results of operations.
A number of factors may increase our future effective tax rate, including: changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws; increases in tax rates in various jurisdictions; variation in the jurisdictions in which profits are earned and taxed; any adverse resolution of ongoing tax audits or adverse rulings from taxing authorities worldwide; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, including executive compensation subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and amortization of assets acquired in connection with strategic transactions; decreased availability of tax deductions for stock-based compensation awards worldwide; and changes in available tax credits. Any significant increase in our future effective tax rates could adversely impact our net income during future periods.
Long-term contracts are not typical for us and reductions, cancellations or delays in orders for our products could adversely affect our operating results.
We typically do not have long-term sales contracts with our customers. In certain markets where end-user demand may be particularly volatile and difficult to predict, some customers place orders that require us to manufacture product and have it available for shipment, even though the customer is unwilling to make a binding commitment to purchase all, or even any, of the product. In other instances, we manufacture product based on forecasts of customer demands. As a result, we may incur inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales and are subject to the risk of cancellations of orders, leading to a sharp reduction of sales and backlog. Further, orders or forecasts may be for products that meet the customer’s unique requirements so that those canceled or unrealized orders would, in addition, result in an inventory of unsaleable products, causing potential inventory write-offs. As a result of lengthy manufacturing cycles for certain of the products that are subject to these uncertainties, the amount of unsaleable product could be substantial. Incorrect forecasts, or reductions, cancellations or delays in orders for our products could adversely affect our operating results.
Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to innovate, improve our products, develop and market new products, and identify and enter new markets.
Our future success significantly depends on our continued ability to improve our products and develop and market innovative new products. Product development, innovation and enhancement is often a complex, time-consuming and costly process involving significant investment in research and development, with no assurance of return on investment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new and improved products in a timely or efficient manner or that new and improved products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance. Our products generally must conform to various evolving and sometimes competing industry standards, which may adversely affect our ability to compete in certain markets or

35



require us to incur significant costs. In addition, our customers generally impose very high quality and reliability standards on our products, which often change and may be difficult or costly to satisfy. Any inability to satisfy customer quality standards or comply with industry standards and technical requirements may adversely affect demand for our products and our results of operations. In addition, our growth is dependent on our continued ability to identify and penetrate new markets where we have limited experience and competition is intense. Also, some of our customers in these markets are less established, which could subject us to increased credit risk. There can be no assurance that the markets we serve will grow in the future, that our existing and new products will meet the requirements of these markets, that our products will achieve customer acceptance in these markets, that competitors will not force price reductions or take market share from us, or that we can achieve or maintain adequate gross margins or profits in these markets. Furthermore, a decline in demand in one or several of our end-user markets could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our results of operations.
We may not be able to compete successfully in markets within the semiconductor industry in the future.
We face intense technological and pricing competition in the semiconductor industry, and we expect this competition to increase in the future, including from companies located outside the United States. Many companies have sufficient financial, manufacturing, technical, sales and marketing resources to develop and market products that compete with our products. Some of our competitors may have more advantageous supply or development relationships with our current and potential customers or suppliers. Our competitors also include emerging companies selling specialized products in markets we serve.
Competition is generally based on design and quality of products, product performance, features and functionality, and product pricing, availability and capacity, with the relative importance of these factors varying among products, markets and customers. Existing or new competitors may develop products or technologies that more effectively address the demands of our customers and markets with enhanced performance, features and functionality, lower power requirements, greater levels of integration or lower cost. Increased competition in certain markets has resulted in and may continue to result in declining average selling prices, reduced gross margins and loss of market share in those markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing or new competitors, or that our operating results will not be adversely affected by increased competition.
We rely on third-party suppliers, subcontractors and manufacturers for some industry-standard wafers, manufacturing processes and assembly and test services, and generally cannot control their availability or conditions of supply.
We rely, and plan to continue to rely, on suppliers, assembly and test subcontractors, and third-party wafer fabricators to supply most of our wafers that can be manufactured using industry-standard submicron processes. This reliance involves several risks, including reduced control over availability, capacity utilization, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and costs. We currently source a significant percentage of our wafer requirements annually from third-party wafer fabrication foundries, primarily Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC. In addition, these suppliers often provide manufacturing services to our competitors and therefore periods of increased industry demand may result in capacity constraints. In certain instances, the third-party supplier is the sole source of highly specialized processing services. If our suppliers are unable or unwilling to manufacture and deliver components to us on the time schedule and of the quality or quantity that we require or provide us with required manufacturing processes, we may be forced to seek to engage additional or replacement suppliers, which could result in additional expenses and delays in product development or shipment of product to our customers. If replacement suppliers or manufacturing processes are not available, we may also experience delays in product development or shipment which could, in turn, result in the temporary or permanent loss of customers.
The markets for semiconductor products are cyclical, and increased production may lead to overcapacity and lower prices, and conversely, we may not be able to satisfy unexpected demand for our products.
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has resulted in periods when demand for our products has increased or decreased rapidly. If we expand our operations and workforce too rapidly or procure excessive resources in anticipation of increased demand for our products, and that demand does not materialize at the pace at which we expect, or declines, or if we overbuild inventory in a period of decreased demand, our operating results may be adversely affected as a result of increased operating expenses, reduced margins, underutilization of capacity or asset impairment charges. These capacity expansions by us and other semiconductor manufacturers could also lead to overcapacity in our target markets which could lead to price erosion that would adversely impact our operating results. Conversely, during periods of rapid increases in demand, our available capacity may not be sufficient to satisfy the demand. In addition, we may not be able to expand our workforce and operations in a sufficiently timely manner, procure adequate resources and raw materials, or locate suitable third-party suppliers, to respond effectively to changes in demand for our existing products or to the demand for new products requested by our customers, and our current or future business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our semiconductor products are complex and we may be subject to product warranty and indemnity claims, which could result in significant costs and damage to our reputation and adversely affect the market acceptance of our products.

36



Semiconductor products are highly complex and may contain defects when they are first introduced or as new versions are developed. We generally warrant our products to our customers for one year from the date title passes from us. We invest significant resources in the testing of our products; however, if any of our products contain defects, we may be required to incur additional development and remediation costs, pursuant to warranty and indemnification provisions in our customer contracts and purchase orders. These problems may divert our technical and other resources from other product development efforts and could result in claims against us by our customers or others, including liability for costs associated with product recalls, which may adversely impact our operating results. We may also be subject to customer indemnity claims. Our customers have on occasion been sued, and may in the future be sued, by third parties alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, or damages resulting from use of our products. Those customers may seek indemnification from us under the terms and conditions of our sales contracts with them. In certain cases, our potential indemnification liability may be significant. If any of our products contains defects, or has reliability, quality or compatibility problems, our reputation may be damaged, which could make it more difficult for us to sell our products to existing and prospective customers and could adversely affect our operating results.
We have manufacturing processes that utilize a substantial amount of technology as the fabrication of integrated circuits is a highly complex and precise process. Minute impurities, contaminants in the manufacturing environment, difficulties in the fabrication process, defects in the masks used in the wafer manufacturing process, manufacturing equipment failures, wafer breakage or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous dice on each wafer to be nonfunctional. While we have significant expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, it is possible that some processes could become unstable. This instability could result in manufacturing delays and product shortages, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
We are involved in frequent litigation, including regarding intellectual property rights, which could be costly to bring or defend and could require us to redesign products or pay significant royalties.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation involving patent and other intellectual property rights, including claims arising under our contractual obligations to indemnify our customers. Other companies or individuals have obtained patents covering a variety of semiconductor designs and processes, and we might be required to obtain licenses under some of these patents or be precluded from making and selling infringing products, if those patents are found to be valid and infringed. In the event a third party makes a valid intellectual property claim against us and a license is not available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we could be forced either to redesign or to stop production of products incorporating that intellectual property, and our operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our patents or other of our intellectual property rights or to defend us against claims of infringement, and this litigation could be costly and divert the attention of our key personnel. We could be subject to indemnity, warranty or product liability claims that could lead to significant costs and expenses as we defend those claims or pay damage awards. There can be no assurance that we are adequately insured to protect against all claims and potential liabilities. We may incur costs and expenses relating to a recall of our customers’ products due to an alleged failure of components we supply. An adverse outcome in litigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or on our operating results or cash flows in the period in which the litigation is resolved.
We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property rights, which may limit our ability to compete effectively.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We primarily rely on patent, mask work, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, it is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our technologies, products and processes. Moreover, the laws of foreign countries in which we design, manufacture, market and sell our products may afford little or no effective protection of our proprietary intellectual property.
There can be no assurance that the claims allowed in our issued patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. In addition, any of our existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. As such, any rights granted under these patents may not provide us with adequate protection. We may not be able to obtain foreign patents or pending applications corresponding to our U.S. patents and applications. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. If our patents and mask works do not adequately protect our technology, our competitors may be able to offer products similar to ours. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around our patents.
We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and strategic partners. We also try to control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these efforts, internal or external parties may attempt to copy, disclose, obtain or use our products or technology without our authorization.

37



Also, former employees may seek employment with our business partners, customers or competitors, and there can be no assurance that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future employment.

A significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems could materially and adversely affect our business or reputation.

We rely on information technology systems throughout our company to keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, coordinate shipments to customers, and operate other critical functions. Our information technology systems may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication failures, user errors, catastrophes or other unforeseen events. We may also be subject to security breaches caused by computer viruses, illegal break-ins or hacking, sabotage, or acts of vandalism by third parties. Our security measures or those of our third party service providers may not detect or prevent security breaches. If we were to experience a prolonged disruption in the information technology systems that involve our interactions with customers or suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, security breaches of our information technology systems could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information belonging to us or to our employees, partners, customers or suppliers, which could result in our suffering significant financial or reputational damage.
If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be adversely affected.
Our continued success depends to a significant extent upon the recruitment, retention and effective succession of our executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers. The competition for these employees is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on our business should the turnover rates for engineers and other key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policy on any of our officers or employees.

To remain competitive, we may need to acquire other companies, purchase or license technology from third parties, or enter into other strategic transactions in order to introduce new products or enhance our existing products.
An element of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisitions of businesses, assets, products or technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage, increase our engineering workforce or enhance our technological capabilities. We may not be able to find businesses that have the technology or resources we need and, if we find such businesses, we may not be able to purchase or license the technology or resources on commercially favorable terms or at all. Acquisitions and technology licenses are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including the cost of potential transactions, competition among prospective buyers and licensees, the need for regulatory approvals, and difficulties related to integration efforts. Both in the U.S. and abroad, governmental regulation of acquisitions has become more complex, increasing the costs and risks of undertaking significant acquisitions. In order to finance a potential transaction, we may need to raise additional funds by issuing securities or borrowing money. We may not be able to find financing on favorable terms, and the sale of our stock may result in the dilution of our existing shareholders or the issuance of securities with rights that are superior to the rights of our common shareholders.
Acquisitions also involve a number of risks, including:
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel with our existing businesses;
diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets;
strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations;
the future funding requirements for acquired companies, which may be significant;
potential loss of key employees;
exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; and
increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation.
If we are unable to successfully address these risks, we may not realize some or all of the expected benefits of the acquisition, which may have an adverse effect on our business plans and operating results.
We rely on supplies, services and manufacturing capacity located in geologically unstable areas, which could affect our ability to produce products.

38



We, like many companies in the semiconductor industry, rely on supplies, services, internal manufacturing capacity, wafer fabrication foundries and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the world. This reliance involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes on us and the semiconductor industry, including temporary loss of capacity, availability and cost of key raw materials, utilities and equipment and availability of key services, including transport of our products worldwide. For example, in fiscal 2011, our revenue in Japan declined as a result of the severe earthquake and tsunami in that country. In addition, flooding in Thailand and the Philippines in 2012 had disruptive effects on local semiconductor-related businesses. Any prolonged inability to utilize one of our manufacturing facilities, or those of our subcontractors or third-party wafer fabrication foundries, as a result of fire, flood, natural disaster, unavailability of utilities or otherwise, could result in a temporary or permanent loss of customers for affected products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are exposed to business, economic, political, legal and other risks through our significant worldwide operations.
We have significant operations and manufacturing facilities outside the United States, including in Ireland and the Philippines. Approximately 69% of our revenue is derived from customers in international markets. Although we engage in hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that our competitive position will not be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against other currencies. Potential interest rate increases, as well as high energy costs, could have an adverse impact on industrial and consumer spending patterns and could adversely impact demand for our products. At May 4, 2013, our principal source of liquidity was $4,172.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which approximately $1,180.6 million was held in the United States and the remaining balance was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As we intend to reinvest our foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash held outside the United States is not readily available to meet our cash requirements in the United States. We require a substantial amount of cash in the United States for operating requirements, stock repurchases, cash dividends and acquisitions. If we are unable to address our U.S. cash requirements through operations, through borrowings under our current credit facility, through future debt or equity offerings or from other sources of cash obtained at an acceptable cost, it may be necessary for us to consider repatriation of earnings that are permanently reinvested, and we may be required to pay additional taxes under current tax laws, which could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition to being exposed to the ongoing economic cycles in the semiconductor industry, we are also subject to the economic, political and legal risks inherent in international operations, including the risks associated with the recent crisis in global credit and financial markets, ongoing uncertainties and political and economic instability in many countries around the world, as well as economic disruption from acts of terrorism and the response to them by the United States and its allies. Other business risks associated with global operations include increased managerial complexities, air transportation disruptions, expropriation, currency controls, currency exchange rate movement, additional costs related to foreign taxes, tariffs and freight rate increases, exposure to different business practices and legal standards, particularly with respect to price protection, competition practices, intellectual property, anti-corruption and environmental compliance, trade and travel restrictions, pandemics, import and export license requirements and restrictions, difficulties in staffing and managing worldwide operations, and accounts receivable collections. We also incur significant costs associated with our foreign defined benefit pension plans. There can be no assurance that the value of the plan assets will be sufficient in the future and it is possible that we may be required to make higher cash contributions to the plans in future years, which would reduce the cash available for other business purposes.
We expect to continue to expand our business and operations in China. Our success in the Chinese markets may be adversely affected by China’s continuously evolving laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, currency controls, environmental regulations, indigenous innovation, and intellectual property rights and enforcement of those rights. Enforcement of existing laws or agreements may be inconsistent. In addition, changes in the political environment, governmental policies or U.S.-China relations could result in revisions to laws or regulations or their interpretation and enforcement, exposure of our proprietary intellectual property, increased taxation, restrictions on imports, import duties or currency revaluations, which could have an adverse effect on our business plans and operating results.
Our operating results are dependent on the performance of independent distributors.
A significant portion of our sales are through independent distributors that are not under our control. These independent distributors generally represent product lines offered by several companies and thus could reduce their sales efforts applied to our products or they could terminate their representation of us. We generally do not require letters of credit from our distributors and are not protected against accounts receivable default or declarations of bankruptcy by these distributors. Our inability to collect open accounts receivable could adversely affect our operating results. Termination of a significant distributor, whether at our initiative or the distributor’s initiative or through consolidation in the distribution industry, could

39



disrupt our current business, and if we are unable to find suitable replacements, our operating results could be adversely affected.
We are subject to increasingly strict environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulations, which could increase our expenses and affect our operating results.
Our industry is subject to increasingly strict EHS requirements, particularly those environmental requirements that control and restrict the sourcing, use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage and disposal of certain chemicals, minerals, elements and materials used or produced in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Public attention to environmental, sustainability and social responsibility concerns continues to increase, and our customers routinely include stringent environmental and other standards in their contracts with us. Changes in environmental laws or regulations may require us to invest in costly equipment or alter the way our products are made. In addition, we use hazardous and other regulated materials that subject us to risks of strict liability for damages caused by potential or actual releases of such materials. Any failure to control such materials adequately or to comply with statutory or regulatory standards or contractual obligations could result in liability for damages, penalties, and civil and criminal fines, and might damage our reputation, increase our expenses, and adversely affect our operating results.
New climate change laws and regulations could require us to change our manufacturing processes or obtain substitute materials that may cost more or be less available for our manufacturing operations. In addition, new restrictions on emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases could result in significant costs for us. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has adopted greenhouse gas regulations, and the U.S. Congress may pass federal greenhouse gas legislation in the future. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued greenhouse gas reporting regulations that may apply to certain of our operations. The EPA is developing other climate change-based regulations, as are certain states, that also may increase our expenses and adversely affect our operating results. We expect increased worldwide regulatory activity relating to climate change in the future. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings, financial condition or competitive position. There is no assurance that the cost to comply with current or future EHS laws and regulations will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, any failure by us to comply with applicable EHS requirements or contractual obligations could result in penalties, civil and criminal fines, suspension of or changes to production, legal liability and damage to our reputation.
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may not be able to service our debt obligations, including making payments on our two issuances of $375.0 million senior unsecured notes.
In fiscal 2009, we issued in a public offering $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2014. In April 2011, we issued in a public offering $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2016. Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness when due depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our outstanding debt, we may be required to, among other things:
seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets;
refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the notes;
borrow under our existing revolving credit facility;
divert funds that would otherwise be invested in our operations;
sell selected assets; or
reduce or delay planned capital expenditures or operating expenditures.
Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt, including the notes, which could negatively impact our financial results. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be possible on economically favorable terms.
Restrictions in our revolving credit facility and outstanding debt instruments may limit our activities.
Our current revolving credit facility and our 5.0% and 3.0% senior unsecured notes impose, and future debt instruments to which we may become subject may impose, restrictions that limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit our company, including to undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on our assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. Our ability to comply with these financial restrictions and covenants is dependent on our future performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors that are beyond our control

40



such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, changes in technology and changes in the level of competition. In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain compliance with specified financial ratios. If we breach any of the covenants under our revolving credit facility or the indenture governing our outstanding notes and do not obtain appropriate waivers, then, subject to applicable cure periods, our outstanding indebtedness thereunder could be declared immediately due and payable.
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future, as it may be significantly affected by the following factors:
crises in global credit, debt and financial markets;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and operating results;
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with those estimates or our published guidance;
changes in market valuations of other semiconductor companies;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant new products, technical innovations, material transactions, acquisitions or dispositions, litigation or capital commitments;
departures of key personnel;
alleged noncompliance with laws, regulations or ethics standards by us or any of our employees, officers or directors; and
negative media publicity targeting us or our suppliers, customers or competitors.
The stock market has historically experienced volatility, especially within the semiconductor industry, that often has been unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall regardless of our operating results.

ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
EXECUTIVE SECTION 162(m) PLAN
I.
Purpose
The purpose of the Executive Section 162(m) Plan, as amended (the “Section 162(m) Plan”), is to motivate and retain senior executives of Analog Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) to achieve targeted levels of corporate, financial and strategic performance. The terms of the Section 162(m) Plan set forth herein shall, if approved by the shareholders of the Company, apply to awards for or during fiscal year 2013 and later fiscal periods. The Section 162(m) Plan provides for an incentive pool based on the Company’s Profits (as defined below) pursuant to Section III hereof.
II.
Eligibility and Participation
Participants in the Section 162(m) Plan for any performance period shall include the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and such other key executives or class of executives as may be designated as participants for such period by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company.
III.
Incentive Pool
A. General. The Committee may designate participants who are eligible to receive an allocation of an incentive pool equal to 2% of the Company’s operating income determined in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), as set forth in the Company's financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, excluding restructuring charges, gain/loss from the sale of a business, and tangible and intangible asset impairments but including amounts paid under the Section 162(m) Plan (“Profits”) for the applicable performance period. The Committee shall allocate the incentive pool among the participants for each performance period. The performance period may be one or more fiscal quarters, one or more fiscal years, or such other period as determined by the Committee; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event may any performance periods overlap. In no event may (i) the allocation to any particular participant exceed 100% of the total incentive pool for the performance period and (ii) the sum of the incentive pool allocations for all participants exceed 100% of the total incentive pool. The incentive pool and the allocations among participants must be established by the Committee no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the beginning of the performance period for which the incentive pool is created and (ii) the first 25% of the portion of the performance period with respect to which the incentive pool relates; provided, however, that in all cases, the incentive pool and the applicable allocations must be established by such time as may be required in order for the amounts paid under the incentive pool to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (such required date, the “162(m) Deadline”).
B. Additional Provisions. Allocations to participants may be paid in the form of cash, equity or otherwise in accordance with the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, (i) subject the participant’s right to receive his or her allocation of the incentive pool to additional service and/or performance conditions, including, without limitation, performance conditions under the annual executive performance incentive plan (the “Annual Bonus Plan”) established by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee and/or conditions relating to the delivery of equity awards under the Company’s then-effect stock incentive plan (a “Stock Incentive Plan”), and (ii) use negative discretion to reduce or eliminate the amount of any incentive pool allocation to a participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Board or the Committee increase the amount of such payment.
IV.
Terms
Each payment of an amount attributable to a participant’s incentive pool allocation under this Section 162(m) Plan shall be subject to the following terms:



A.    No payment shall be made to participants in the Section 162(m) Plan unless and until the Committee has certified in writing (in such manner as shall be consistent with regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code) the amount of Profits for the applicable performance period and the participant’s allocation of the incentive pool.
B.    To the extent amounts payable under the Section 162(m) Plan are paid in cash and to the extent the performance periods under the Section 162(m) Plan are the Company’s fiscal quarters, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, payment for the first and second fiscal quarters shall be made on or before June 30 of the calendar year in which the second fiscal quarter ends and payment for the third and fourth fiscal quarters shall be made on or before December 31 of the calendar year in which the fourth quarter ends. To the extent that the performance period is based on a different period of time, the Committee shall determine the time of payment in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, in all cases cash payments shall be made no later than the later of (i) two and a half months after the end of the Company’s tax year in which such payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and (ii) two and a half months after the end of the participant’s tax year in which such payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. To the extent the Committee exercises discretion to make allocations in the form of equity awards under a Stock Incentive Plan, such allocations shall be paid in the time and manner consistent with the terms of such Stock Incentive Plan.
C.    Except as specifically set forth in this Section 162(m) Plan, the Annual Bonus Plan, a Stock Incentive Plan or in another agreement between a participant in the Section 162(m) Plan and the Company, a participant must be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries on the date on which any amount under the Section 162(m) Plan is paid in order to be eligible to receive such payment.
V.
Actions Binding, No Right To Employment, etc.
The Committee shall have complete discretion to construe and administer the Section 162(m) Plan, to establish an incentive pool, to establish incentive pool allocations among participants, to determine the form in which amounts attributable to incentive pool allocations shall be paid, and otherwise to do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out the Section 162(m) Plan. The Committee is not obligated to establish an incentive pool or to make any allocations to any particular participants under the Section 162(m) Plan. Actions by the Committee under the Section 162(m) Plan shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.
Nothing in the Section 162(m) Plan shall entitle any participant to continued employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, and the loss of benefits or potential benefits under the Section 162(m) Plan shall in no event constitute an element of damages in any action brought against the Company or its subsidiaries.
The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, amend or terminate the Section 162(m) Plan.
The Section 162(m) Plan is effective on January 22, 2013, provided that any amounts payable under this plan shall be subject to approval of the material terms of the Section 162(m) Plan by the Company’s stockholders in the manner required under Section 162(m) of the Code in order for such amounts to be eligible to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent not already so approved.

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Private & Confidential (Addressee Only)

{EMPNAME}

{EMPNUM}
We are pleased to advise the Optionee (the “Optionee”) that Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Optionee an option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock set forth below (the “Option”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and this Global Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, including Appendix A, which includes any applicable country-specific provisions (this agreement, together with Appendix A, the “Agreement”). The grant of this Option reflects the Company’s confidence in the Optionee’s commitment and contributions to the success and continued growth of the Company.
All terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
1.
Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company has granted to the Optionee an Option to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) effective on the Date of Grant set forth below:
Date of Grant:    {GRANTDATE}

Number of Option Shares Granted:    {SOSHARESGRANTED}

Option Exercise Price Per Share:    {EXERCISEPRICE}
2.
Vesting and Exercise of Option. Subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company or the Employer (as defined in 3(h) below) and other limitations set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Option will vest as to a set number of shares on each of the vesting dates set out in the following schedule:
VEST DATE             NUMBER OF SHARES        
{SOVESTDATE1}                {SHARES1}
{SOVESTDATE2}                {SHARES2}
{SOVESTDATE3}                {SHARES3}
{SOVESTDATE4}                {SHARES4}
{SOVESTDATE5}                {SHARES5}

The right of exercise is cumulative, so that an Option, once vested, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time up to {EXPDATE}, the expiration date, or such earlier date as provided in Section  3 below or in the country-specific provisions in Appendix A.
3.
Term of Option; Termination of Employment.
(a)
The term of the Option is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant, subject, however, to the early termination provisions set forth herein.
(b)
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee (or his/her successor in interest) following the termination of the Optionee’s employment only to the extent that the Option was vested on or prior to the date of such termination.
(c)
The vesting of the Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company or the Employer (as defined in Section 3(h))(except by reason of retirement after attaining age 60 as provided below) or on the date his/her employment is terminated by the Company or the Employer without “Cause” (as defined in paragraph

1



d), but any Option Shares that are vested on the date of such termination shall continue to be exercisable for a period of three (3) months following such termination date.
(d)
The Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee’s employment with the Company or the Employer is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for “Cause”, and all Option Shares that are then vested shall forthwith cease to be exercisable. “Cause” for this purpose means unsatisfactory job performance (as determined by the Company), willful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence, disobedience or dishonesty.
(e)
Upon the death of the Optionee while he/she is an employee of the Company or the Employer, the Option shall become immediately vested in full as to all shares on the date of death and shall continue to be exercisable (by the Optionee’s successor in interest) over the remaining term of the Option.
(f)
If the Optionee’s employment with the Company or the Employer terminates by reason of the retirement of the Optionee after attaining age 60, the vesting of the Option shall terminate on the date of such retirement, but any Option Shares that are vested on the date of such retirement shall continue to be exercisable over the remaining term of the Option; provided that all then-exercisable Option Shares held by such Optionee shall immediately cease to be exercisable in the event that such Optionee becomes an employee of any competitor of the Company or the Employer (as determined in the sole discretion of the Company).
(g)
If the Optionee becomes Disabled (as defined below), regardless of whether Optionee terminates employment with the Company or the Employer, the Option Shares that are not vested as of the date of disability shall vest on the date or dates (over the remaining term of the Option) that they otherwise would have vested if the Optionee had not become Disabled. Any Option Shares that are vested upon disability prior to giving effect to this provision shall continue to be vested over the remaining term of the Option. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Disabled” is defined pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 22(e)(3) and means the Optionee's inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, as determined by the Company.
(h)
For purposes of this Agreement, employment shall include being an employee with the Company. Employment shall also include being an employee with any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company (the “Employer”). Should an Optionee transfer employment to become a director, consultant or advisor to the Company or the Employer following the Date of Grant, he or she will be considered employed for vesting purposes until he or she ceases to provide services to the Company or any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company.
(i)
Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 3, if the Company or the Employer develops a good faith belief that any provision in this Section 3 may be found to be unlawful, discriminatory or against public policy in any relevant jurisdiction, then the Company in its sole discretion may choose not to apply such provision to this Option, nor any Option grant in the Optionee’s jurisdiction.
4.
Payment of Exercise Price. The following payment methods may be used to purchase Option Shares:
(a)
A cashless exercise in a manner described in Section 5(f)(2) of the Plan.
(b)
Cash or check payable to the Company.
(c)
Delivery by the Optionee of shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the Optionee and subject to such other terms and conditions contained in the Plan.
(d)
Any combination of the above methods.
5.
Non-Transferability of Option. Except in the event of death (whether by beneficiary designation or by will or the laws of descent and distribution) or as permitted by the Plan, this Option is personal and no rights granted hereunder shall be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), nor shall any such rights be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
6.
Adjustment. This Option is subject to adjustment (including with respect to vesting of the Option Shares) upon certain changes in the Company’s common stock and certain other events, including a Change in Control Event or a Reorganization Event, as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

7.
Withholding Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer, if different, takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Option Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Option Shares acquired at exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding a sufficient number of whole Option Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option that have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined under the Plan) sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the exercised Option. The cash equivalent of the Option Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the applicable exercise date).
To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in whole Option Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Option Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Option Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. No fractional Option Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Option and the issuance of Option Shares hereunder.
Finally, the Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of Option Shares, if the Optionee fails to comply with the Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.
Nature of Grant. In accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)
the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)
the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)
all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)
the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Optionee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;
(e)
the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f)
the Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer;

3



(g)
the Option grant and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or the Employer;
(h)
the future value of the Option Shares underlying the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(i)
if the underlying Option Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
(j)
if the Optionee exercises the Option and acquires Option Shares, the value of such Option Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;
(k)
for Optionees who reside outside the U.S., the following additional provisions shall apply:
a.
the Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
b.
the Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any;
c.
the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor the Employer shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Option Shares acquired upon exercise; and
d.
no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from termination of the Optionee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Optionee is otherwise not entitled, the Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.
9.
No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Option Shares. The Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
10.
Data Privacy. This Section 10 applies if the Optionee resides outside the U.S.: The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
The Optionee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including, but not limited to, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).
The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company that assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. The Optionee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Optionee’s local human resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the Company, the stock plan service provider, and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of

4



Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
11.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.
12.
Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Option Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares issuable upon exercise of the Option prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Option Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Option Shares. Further, the Optionee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Option Shares.
13.
Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
14.
Language. If the Optionee has received this Agreement, or any other document related to the Option and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
15.
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
16.
Appendix. The Option shall be subject to any special provisions set forth in the Appendix for the Optionee’s country of residence, if any.

APPENDIX A TO
2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options granted to the Optionee if the Optionee resides in one of the countries listed herein. These terms and conditions are in addition to, or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

This Appendix A also includes certain issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, income tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Optionee exercises the Options or when the Option Shares purchased under the Plan are subsequently sold.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result. Therefore, the Optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country may apply to his or her situation.

Finally, the Optionee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working, transfers employment after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to the Optionee, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.

The Optionee also understands that providing the Company with Data is mandatory for compliance with laws and is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that the Optionee’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.

APPENDIX A - 6



Securities Law Acknowledgment. The Optionee should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Option Shares issued upon exercise of the Option. In particular, the Optionee may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if he or she has inside information about the Company.
Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “insider information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any employee of any subsidiary in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees working at a subsidiary in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the employee has such inside information.
If the Optionee is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to him or her, then the Optionee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor.
PHILIPPINES
Securities Law Information. The sale or disposal of Option Shares acquired under the Plan may be subject to certain restrictions under Philippines securities laws. Those restrictions should not apply if the offer and resale of Option Shares takes place outside of the Philippines through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Option Shares are listed. The Option Shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”). The Company’s designated broker should be able to assist the Optionee in the sale of Option Shares on NASDAQ. If the Optionee has questions with regard to the application of Philippines securities laws to the disposal or sale of Option Shares acquired under the Plan the Optionee should consult with his or her legal advisor.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information. The Options were granted to the Optionee pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Agreement and the Plan have not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Optionee should note that the Optionee’s Options are subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Optionee will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Option Shares unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).

These notifications must be made within two (2) business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company.

APPENDIX A - 7



SPAIN

No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation. In accepting the Options, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Options will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Options are granted on the assumption and condition that the Options and the underlying Option Shares acquired upon exercise shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Optionee understands that the Option would not have been granted to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Options shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Option is expressly conditioned on the Optionee’s continued rendering of service, such that if the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Award may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section 3 of the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Optionee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without Cause; (2) the Optionee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Optionee terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Optionee terminates service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or the Employer; or (5) the Optionee’s employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of the Optionee’s employment for any of the above reasons, the Optionee may automatically lose any rights to Options that were not vested on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.

The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in Section 3 of the Agreement.

Securities Law Notification. The grant of Options and the Option Shares issued upon exercise of the Option are considered a private placement outside of the scope of Spanish laws on public offerings and issuances of securities.

SWEDEN
Automatic Cashless Exercise and Sale. This Option grant is conditioned upon the Optionee’s consent to the automatic cashless exercise, which the Company will provide to the Optionee. If the Company does not receive the Optionee’s signed consent, then the Option will terminate and will become null and void.
TAIWAN

There are no country-specific provisions.

UNITED KINGDOM

Joint Election. As a condition of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the exercise of the Option, the Optionee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Option and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer’s Liability”). Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Optionee agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or elections. The Optionee further agrees to enter into such other Joint Elections as may be required between the Optionee and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. The Optionee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer’s Liability from the Optionee by any of the means set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement.
If the Optionee does not enter into the Joint Election prior to the exercise of the Option, the Optionee will forfeit the Option and any Option Shares that have been issued will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company, without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer.
If the Optionee has signed a Joint Election in the past with respect to Options granted to him or her by the Company and that Joint Election applies to all grants made under the Plan, the Optionee need not sign another Joint Election in connection with this Option grant.

Date of Grant:     {GRANTDATE}
Number of RSUs:     {RSSHARESGRANTED}
Vesting Schedule:     {RSVESTSCHED}
Each one (1) RSU shall, if and when it vests in accordance with this Agreement, automatically convert into one (1) share of common stock, US$0.16 2/3 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) issuable as provided below. The RSUs are subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 and the right of the Company to retain Shares (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6 and to any special terms and conditions for countries outside the U.S. set forth in Appendix A.

(a)
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 1. For purposes of this Agreement, RSUs that have not vested as of any particular time in accordance with this Section 2(a) are referred to as “Unvested RSUs.” The shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the vesting and conversion of the RSUs are referred to in this Agreement as “Shares.” As soon as administratively practicable after the issuance of any Shares upon the vesting and conversion of RSUs, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered evidence (which may include a book entry by the Company’s transfer agent) of the Shares so issued in the name of the Participant to the brokerage firm designated by the Company to maintain the brokerage account established for the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to issue Shares to or in the name of the Participant upon the vesting and conversion of any RSUs unless the issuance of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.
(b)
In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (as defined in Section 2(e)) is terminated either by the Participant, the Company, or the Employer for any reason or no reason (other than due to death or Disability or as otherwise provided in the Plan or below), then in each such case, all of the Unvested RSUs as of the date of termination shall terminate and be cancelled immediately and automatically and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Unvested RSUs.
(c)
In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer is terminated by reason of the Participant’s death, all Unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of the date of the Participant’s death.
(d)
In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer terminates by reason of Disability (as defined below), the Unvested RSUs as of the date of the Participant’s termination shall vest in full as of the date of the termination. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Disability” means (i) the Participant’s inability to

1


engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, as determined by the Company.
(e)
For purposes of this Agreement, employment shall include being an employee with the Company. Employment shall also include being an employee with any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company (the “Employer”). Should a Participant transfer employment to become a director, consultant or advisor to the Company or the Employer following the Date of Grant, he or she will still be considered employed for vesting purposes until he or she ceases to provide services to the Company or any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company.
3.
Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)
The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any RSUs, either voluntarily or by operation of law.

The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any of the RSUs which have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth herein or (ii) to treat as the owner of such RSUs any transferee to whom such RSUs have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions contained herein.
4.
Not a Shareholder. The RSUs represent an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares upon vesting and conversion of the RSUs, and until vesting of the RSUs and issuance of the Shares, the Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant shall have no right to receive any dividends and shall have no voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs for which the record date is on or before the date on which the Shares underlying the RSUs are issued to the Participant.
5.
Provisions of the Plan. The RSUs and Shares, including the grant and issuance thereof, are subject to the provisions of the Plan.

(a)
Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer, if different, takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally applicable to the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the methods set forth below:
(i)
the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs that have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined under the Plan) sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the applicable vesting date).

2


(ii)
the Company may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant; or
(iii)
the Company may withhold from proceeds of the sale of Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through the Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, no Shares will be issued upon vesting of the RSUs unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company and/or the Employer determine, in each of its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the RSUs and the issuance of Shares hereunder. By accepting this grant of RSUs, the Participant expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the Participant’s sole responsibility.
7.
Option of Company to Deliver Cash. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement, and except as set forth in Appendix A, where share settlement is otherwise prohibited under local law or may present adverse tax consequences to the Participant, at the time the RSUs vest, the Company may elect, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to deliver by wire transfer to the Participant in lieu of Shares an equivalent amount of cash (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the applicable vesting date). If the Company elects to deliver cash to the Participant, the Company is authorized to retain such amount as is sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy the Tax‑Related Items withholding obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 6 herein.
8.
Data Privacy. This Section 8 applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S.: The Company hereby notifies the Participant of the following in relation to the Participant’s personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the grant of the RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws. The collection, processing and transfer of the Participant’s personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Participant’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein.
The Company holds certain personal information about the Participant, including the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Data may be provided by the Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logistics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Plan and for the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the United States, the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant hereby authorizes (where required under applicable law) the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan.
The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant’s rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content,

3


origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data, and (d) to oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant’s local HR manager.
9.
Repatriation and Other Legal Requirements. The Participant agrees as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, as applicable, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Participant. In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Participant. Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Participant.
10.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
No Rights to Employment. The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or the Employer, nor limit in any way the right of the Company or the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. The vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by satisfaction of the performance conditions, if any, and continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company or the Employer (not through the act of being hired or engaged or being granted the RSUs hereunder).
(b)
Discretionary Nature. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The grant of the RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer. The RSUs and income from such RSUs shall not be included in any calculation of severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(c)
Exclusion from Termination Indemnities and Other Benefits. This Section 10(c) applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S.: The value of the RSUs and any other awards granted under the Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (and the Participant’s employment contract, if any). Any grant under the Plan, including the grant of the RSUs, is not part of normal or expected compensation. Further, the RSUs and the Shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
(d)
No Entitlement. This Section 10(d) applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S.: In consideration of the grant of RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim.
(e)
Exchange Rates. This Section 10(e) applies if the Participant resides outside the U.S.: The Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor the Employer shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares.
(f)

(i)
Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.
(j)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of these documents.
(k)
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

Compliance with Laws.

The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.
(m)

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Participant transfers the Participant’s residence and/or employment to a country other than the United States, the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for such country as may be set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement.

APPENDIX A TO
2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT


This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to the Participant if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed herein. These terms and conditions are in addition to, or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

This Appendix A also includes certain issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, income tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the RSUs vest or Shares acquired under the Plan subsequently are sold.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Therefore, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.

Finally, the Participant understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, transfers employment after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to the Participant, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.

The Participant also understands that providing the Company with Data is mandatory for compliance with laws and is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that the Participant's refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan. The Controller of personal data processing is Analog Devices, Inc., with registered offices at Analog Devices, Inc., Three Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts, 02062 U.S.A. and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its Representative in Italy for privacy purposes is Analog Devices SRL with its registered offices at Centro Direzionale Milano 2, Palazzo Bernini 20090 Segrate, Milan, Italy.

Such recipients may receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering, and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that these recipients may be acting as controllers, processors, or persons in charge of processing, as the case may be, according to applicable privacy laws, and that they may be located in or outside the European Economic Area, such

as in the United States or elsewhere, in countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection as intended under Italian privacy law. Should the Company exercise its discretion in suspending all necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan, it will delete Data as soon as it has completed all the necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan.
The Participant understands that Data processing related to the purposes specified above shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously when possible, that comply with the purposes for which Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions, as set forth by applicable laws and regulations, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.
The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, does not require the Participant's consent thereto, as the processing is necessary to performance of law and contractual obligations related to implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, the Participant has the right at any moment to, including but not limited to, obtain confirmation that Data exist or not, access, verify their content, origin and accuracy, delete, update, integrate, correct, block or terminate, for legitimate reason, the Data processing.

MALAYSIA
Director Notification. If the Participant is a director of a subsidiary or other related company in Malaysia, then the Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Malaysian Companies Act, 1965. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Malaysian subsidiary in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., RSUs, Shares) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, the Participant must notify the Malaysian subsidiary when he or she sells Shares of the Company or any related company (including when the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan). These notifications must be made within fourteen (14) days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company.
Securities Law Information. Malaysian insider-trading rules may impact the acquisition or disposal of Shares or rights to Shares under the Plan. Under such rules, the Participant is prohibited from acquiring Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or selling Shares when he or she possesses information that is not generally available and which the Participant knows or should know will have a material effect on the price of the Shares once such information is generally available. By accepting this grant, the Participant acknowledges that he or she is not in possession of any material, non-publicly disclosed information regarding the Company at the time of grant and will not acquire or sell Shares when in possession of any material, non-publicly disclosed information regarding the Company.
NETHERLANDS

No Entitlement. This provision supplements Section 10(d) of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSU, the Participant acknowledges that the RSU is intended as an incentive for the Participant to remain employed with the Employer and is not intended as remuneration for labor performed.
Securities Law Acknowledgment. The Participant should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares issued upon vesting of the RSU. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if he or she has inside information about the Company.
Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has "insider information" related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. "Inside information" is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any employee of any subsidiary in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees working at a subsidiary in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the employee has such inside information.
If the Participant is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to him or her, then the Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor.
PHILIPPINES

Securities Law Information. The sale or disposal of Shares acquired under the Plan may be subject to certain restrictions under Philippines securities laws. Those restrictions should not apply if the offer and resale of Shares takes place outside of the Philippines through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. The Shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”). The Company’s designated broker should be able to assist the Participant in the sale of Shares on NASDAQ. If the Participant has questions with regard to the application of Philippines securities laws to the disposal or sale of Shares acquired under the Plan the Participant should consult with his or her legal advisor.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information. The RSUs were granted to the Participant pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Agreement and the Plan have not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Participant should note that the Participant’s RSUs are subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).

Director Notification. If the Participant is a director, associate director or shadow director of a subsidiary or other related company in Singapore, the Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore subsidiary in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., RSUs, Shares) in the Company or any related company. In addition, the Participant must notify the Singapore subsidiary when the Participant sells Shares of the Company or any related company (including when the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan). These notifications must be made within two (2) business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of the Participant’s interests in the Company or any related company within two (2) business days of becoming a director.

SLOVAKIA

There are no country-specific provisions.

SPAIN

No Entitlement. This provision supplements Section 10(d) of the Agreement:
In accepting the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs or the Shares acquired upon settlement shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that the RSU grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any RSUs shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the RSUs is expressly conditioned on the Participant’s continued rendering of service, such that if the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the RSUs may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section 2 of the Agreement in the event of death or Disability). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Participant terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Participant terminates service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or a subsidiary; or (5) the Participant’s employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of the Participant’s employment for any of the above reasons, the Participant may automatically lose any rights to RSUs that were not vested on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.

The Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in Section 2 of the Agreement.

Securities Law Notification. The grant of RSUs and the Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs are considered a private placement outside of the scope of Spanish laws on public offerings and issuances of securities.

Manner of Payment. This provision replaces Section 7 of the Agreement:

Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, upon vesting of the RSUs, Shares will be issued to the Participant. In no event will the Award be paid to Participant in the form of cash.

Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, the Participant will not be entitled to receive any Shares pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs unless and until the Participant has executed a Joint Election (as defined below) in connection with the RSUs.

Joint Election. As a condition of the grant of RSUs, the Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company or the Employer with respect to the vesting of the RSUs or otherwise payable with respect to a benefit derived in connection with the RSUs.

Without limitation to the foregoing, the Participant agrees to execute a joint election between the Company and/or the Employer and Participant (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or election required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. If the Participant does not enter into a Joint Election, no Shares shall be issued to the Participant without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from the Participant by any of the means set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement.

If the Participant has signed a Joint Election in the past with respect to an RSU award granted to him or her by the Company and that Joint Election applies to all grants made under the Plan, the Participant need not sign another Joint Election in connection with this RSU grant.

Vesting Schedule:
The RSUs shall vest on the earlier of {GRANTDATE+1} or the

Each one (1) RSU shall, if and when it vests in accordance with this Award, automatically convert into one (1) share of common stock, US$0.16 2/3 par value, of the Company ("Common Stock") issuable as provided below. The RSUs are subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 and the right of the Company to retain Shares (as defined below) pursuant to Section 7.

(a)
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Award, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 1. For purposes of this Award, RSUs that have not vested as of any particular time in accordance with this Section 2(a) are referred to as "Unvested RSUs." The shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the vesting and conversion of the RSUs are referred to in this Award as "Shares."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to issue Shares to or in the name of the Participant upon the vesting and conversion of any RSUs unless the issuance of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.

(b)
In the event the Participant ceases to be a Director for any reason or no reason (other than due to death, Disability or otherwise as provided in the Plan or below), then in each such case, all of the Unvested RSUs as of the date of termination shall terminate and be cancelled immediately and automatically and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Unvested RSUs.
(c)
In the event the Participant dies while a Director of the Company, all Unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of the date of the Participant's death.
(d)
In the event the Participant ceases to be a Director by reason of a Disability (as defined below), the Unvested RSUs as of the date of the Participant cease to be a Director shall vest in full as of such date. For the purpose of this Award, "Disability" means (i) the Participant's inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, as determined by the Company.
(e)
If the Participant becomes an employee of the Company and, in connection with such employment, ceases to serve as a Director of the Company, Unvested RSUs shall vest in accordance with the terms hereof until the date that the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or herein, all Unvested RSUs shall vest in full as of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Plan).
(g)
For purposes of this Award, employment with the Company shall include being an employee, consultant or advisor with any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company.

The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any of the RSUs which have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth herein or (ii) to treat as the owner of such RSUs any transferee to whom such RSUs have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions contained herein.
4.
Not a Shareholder. The RSUs represent an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares upon vesting and conversion of the RSUs, and until vesting of the RSUs and issuance of the Shares, the Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant shall have no right to receive any dividends and shall have no voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs for which the record date is on or before the date on which the Shares underlying the RSUs are issued to the Participant.
5.
Provisions of the Plan. The RSUs and Shares, including the grant and issuance thereof, are subject to the provisions of the Plan. A copy of the Plan prospectus is available on the Company's Intranet at

www.analog.com/employee (from Signals home page, click Knowledge Centers, HR, Employee Stock Programs. The related documents can be found in the right-hand column).
6.
Consideration. Any Shares that are issued and any cash payment that is delivered, in either case upon settlement of the RSUs pursuant to this Award, will be in consideration of the Participant's service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and/or his continued employment with the Company, which consideration is deemed sufficient.
7.
Withholding Taxes.

(a)
Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant's responsibility, and that the Company (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items.
(b)
Prior to the delivery of Shares upon the vesting of the RSUs, if any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs that have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined under the Plan) sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the applicable vesting date). No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the RSUs and the issuance of Shares hereunder. Alternatively, the Company may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Participant's salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, with no withholding in Shares. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through the Participant's salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, no Shares will be issued upon vesting of the RSUs unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs. By accepting this grant of RSUs, the Participant expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the Participant's sole responsibility.
8.
Option of Company to Deliver Cash. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Award, where share settlement is otherwise prohibited under local law or may present adverse tax consequences to the Participant, at the time the RSUs vest, the Company may elect, in the sole discretion of the Compensation

3



Committee of the Board of Directors, to deliver by wire transfer to the Participant in lieu of Shares an equivalent amount of cash (determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the applicable vesting date). If the Company elects to deliver cash to the Participant, the Company is authorized to retain such amount as is sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 7 herein.
9.
Data Privacy. The Company hereby notifies the Participant of the following in relation to the Participant's personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the grant of the RSUs and the Participant's participation in the Plan, pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws. The collection, processing and transfer of the Participant's personal data is necessary for the Company's administration of the Plan and the Participant's participation in the Plan, and the Participant's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan. As such, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein.

The Data may be provided by the Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan. The data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logistics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Participant's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Plan and for the Participant's participation in the Plan.
The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Participant's participation in the Plan, and the Company may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, the United States or elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant hereby authorizes (where required under applicable law) the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Participant's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan.

The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant's rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data, and (d) to oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant's local HR manager.
10.
Repatriation: Compliance with Laws. The Participant agrees, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, as applicable, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Participant. In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Participant. Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant's personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Participant.
11.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
No Rights to Board Service. The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company or, if applicable, as an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor limit in any way the terms of the Participant's service on the Board of Directors, including for removal therefrom. The vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by satisfaction of the performance conditions, if any, and continuing service on the Board of Directors or as otherwise set forth in Section 2 (not through the act of being elected, hired or engaged or being granted the RSUs hereunder).
(b)
Discretionary Nature. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant's employment with the Company.
(c)
Exclusion from Termination Indemnities and Other Benefits. The Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the RSUs and any other awards granted under the Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant's service on the Board of Directors of the Company. Any grant under the Plan, including the grant of the RSUs, is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy,

end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(d)
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Award shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Award, and each other provision of this Award shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
(e)
Binding Effect. This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 of this Award.
(f)

Each notice relating to this Award shall be in writing (which shall include electronic form) and delivered in person, electronically or by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the address as hereinafter provided. Each notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date it is received. Each notice to the Company shall be addressed to it at its offices at Analog Devices, Inc., Three Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts, 02062, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. Each notice to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participant's last known mailing or email address, as applicable, on the records of the Company.
(g)
Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Award shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.
(h)
Entire Agreement. This Award and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of these documents.
(i)
Governing Law. This Award shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.
(j)
Interpretation. The interpretation and construction of any terms or conditions of this Award or the Plan, or other matters related to the Plan, by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be final and conclusive.
(k)
Participant's Acceptance. The Participant is urged to read this Award carefully and to consult with his or her own legal counsel regarding the terms and consequences of this Award and the legal and binding effect of this Award. By virtue of his or her acceptance of this Award, the Participant is deemed to have accepted and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of this Award and the provisions of the Plan.
(l)
Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSUs or other awards granted to the Participant under the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

(m) English Language. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is the Participant's express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the RSUs, be drawn up in English. If the Participant has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the RSUs translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version shall control.
(n)
Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for the Participant's country of residence (and, if any, country of employment, if different), as may be set forth in an addendum to this Agreement (the "Addendum"). Further, if the Participant transfers the Participant's residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Any Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.
(o)
Additional Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs, any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, and the Participant's participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(p)
Private Placement. The Company has submitted regulatory filings in the United States in connection with the stock incentive plan under which this Award was made. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with other local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under such local law), and the grant of the Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in any other jurisdiction or subject to the supervision of other local securities authorities.
(q)
Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any non-cash distribution to holders of Common Stock, the number of RSUs, and Shares issuable upon vesting and conversion thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted in such manner as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(r)
Amendment. This Award may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Participant.
