(2) Calculated based on an aggregate of 3,838,966 options granted under the
Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan to employees during fiscal 1996.
(3) The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock on the date of grant.
(4) Potential realizable value is based on an assumption that the market price
of the stock will appreciate at the stated rate, compounded annually, from
the date of grant until the end of the 10-year term. These values are
calculated based on rules promulgated by the Commission and do not reflect
the Company's estimate or projection of future stock prices. Actual gains,
if any, on stock option exercises will be dependent upon the future
performance of the price of the Company's Common Stock.

SEVERANCE AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
The Company has Employee Retention Agreements (the "Agreements") with each
of its 12 current executive officers and with 25 additional key managers. The
Agreements are automatically extended on an annual basis unless the Company
provides at least three months' notice that the Agreements will not be extended.
The Agreements provide for severance benefits if either (i) the employment of
the employee is terminated by the Company (other than for cause or by reason of
his death or disability) or by the employee for Good Reason (as defined in the
Agreements) within 24 months after a Change in Control (as defined in the
Agreements) which is approved by the Board of Directors; or (ii) the employment
of the employee terminates or is terminated for any reason (other than for cause
or by reason of his death or disability) within
8
<PAGE> 11
12 months after a Change in Control which is not approved by the Board of
Directors. Each Agreement provides that, in the event of a Potential Change in
Control (as defined in the Agreements), the employee may not voluntarily resign
as an employee, subject to certain conditions, for at least six months after the
occurrence of such Potential Change in Control.
The Agreements provide for the following severance benefits: (i) a lump-sum
payment equal to 200% of the sum of the employee's annual base salary plus the
aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to him in respect of the four fiscal
quarters preceding his termination (299% in the case of 11 of the 37 employees
who are parties to such agreements, including Messrs. Stata, Fishman, McAloon,
McDonough and French); and (ii) the continuation of life, disability, dental,
accident and group health insurance benefits for a period of 24 months. In
addition, to the extent that payments to the employee pursuant to his Agreement
(together with any other payments or benefits, such as the accelerated vesting
of stock options or restricted stock awards, received by the employee in
connection with a Change in Control) would result in the triggering of the
provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), the Agreement provides for the payment of an additional
amount such that the employee receives, net of excise taxes, the amount he would
have been entitled to receive in the absence of the excise tax provided in
Section 4999 of the Code.
The Company's Employee Change in Control Severance Policy and Senior
Management Change in Control Severance Policy provide each employee of the
Company (other than those who are party to the Agreements) with a lump-sum
severance payment, based on length of service with the Company, in the event of
the termination of his or her employment under certain circumstances within 18
months after a Change in Control (as defined in such policies). Such severance
payments range from a minimum of two weeks of annual base salary (for an hourly
employee with less than five years of service) to a maximum of 104 weeks of base
salary plus an amount equal to the aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to the
employee in respect of the four fiscal quarters preceding termination (for a
senior management employee with at least 21 years of service).
On September 14, 1994, the Company amended the stock option grants and
restricted stock awards previously made to Mr. Fishman, the Company's President
and Chief Executive Officer, to provide that if the Company terminates Mr.
Fishman's employment prior to September 15, 1999 for any reason other than
cause, death or disability, all then unexercisable options and/or unvested
restricted shares would become fully exercisable and vested.
In addition to the foregoing agreements and policies, the Company's stock
option and restricted stock plans provide for immediate vesting of all
outstanding options and awards upon any Change in Control (as defined in such
plans) of the Company.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain
and reward executives who are responsible for leading the Company in achieving
its business objectives. The Compensation Committee makes decisions each year
regarding executive compensation, including annual base salaries, bonus awards
and stock option grants and restricted stock awards. All executive officers are
reviewed by the full Board of Directors. This report is submitted by the
Compensation Committee and addresses the Compensation policies for fiscal 1996
as they affected Mr. Stata, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and other executive officers of the Company.

<PAGE> 12
Compensation Philosophy
The Company's executive compensation philosophy is based on the belief that
competitive compensation is essential to attract, motivate and retain highly
qualified and industrious employees. The Company's policy is to provide total
compensation that is competitive for comparable work and comparable corporate
performance. The compensation program includes both motivational and
retention-related compensation components. Bonuses are included to encourage
effective performance relative to current plans and objectives. Stock options
are included to help retain productive people and to more closely align their
interests with those of stockholders.
In executing its compensation policy, the Company seeks to relate
compensation with the Company's financial performance and business objectives,
reward high levels of individual performance and tie a significant portion of
total executive compensation to both the annual and long term performance of the
Company. While compensation survey data are useful guides for comparative
purposes, the Company believes that a successful compensation program also
requires the application of judgment and subjective determinations of individual
performance, and to that extent the Compensation Committee applies judgment in
reconciling the program's objectives with the realities of retaining valued
employees.
Executive Compensation Program
Annual compensation for the Company's executives consists principally of
base salary, cash bonus and stock options and restricted stock awards.
- CASH COMPENSATION
Annual cash compensation consists of two elements -- base salary and
bonus. In setting the annual cash compensation for Company executives, the
Compensation Committee reviews compensation for comparable positions in a
group of approximately 20 companies selected by the Committee for
comparison purposes. Most of these companies are engaged in the manufacture
and sale of semiconductor devices, instruments and computer software. The
Company also regularly compares its pay practices with other leading
companies through reviews of survey and proxy data.
Increases in annual base salary are based on a review and evaluation
of the performance of the operation or activity for which the executive has
responsibility, the impact of that operation or activity on the Company and
the skills and experience required for the job, coupled with a comparison
of these elements with similar elements for other executives both within
and outside the Company.
The cash bonus is tied directly to financial performance targets
approved by the Board of Directors. The ratio of bonus ("variable" pay) to
base salary ("fixed" pay) varies significantly across the levels in the
organization to reflect the ability of the individual to impact the
performance of the Company and to absorb the risk of variable pay. The cash
bonus is dependent solely on corporate performance.
All of the Company's employees, including its executive officers,
participated in the Company's bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan") in fiscal 1996,
except those employees on commission plans or in some non-U.S. locations.
The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to recognize and reward the contribution
of all employees in achieving the Company's goals and objectives. In fiscal
1996 the Bonus Plan provided for the payment of a semi-annual cash bonus
based on the Company's attainment of specified Operating Profit Before
Taxes ("OPBT") levels. No bonus is payable if the Company's performance
falls below a predetermined OPBT threshold. To the extent OPBT exceeds this
threshold, the bonus payments are increased. Each employee, including
executives, is assigned a Bonus Target, calculated as a percentage of such
employee's base earnings, determined by comparing competitive data and
position. Depending on
10
<PAGE> 13
OPBT levels achieved, the cash bonus is paid as a multiple of the Bonus
Target, ranging from zero to a maximum of two.
- EQUITY OWNERSHIP
Total compensation at the executive level also includes long-term
incentives afforded by stock options and restricted stock awards. The
purpose of the Company's stock ownership program is to (i) reinforce the
mutuality of long term interests between employees and the stockholders;
and (ii) to assist in the attraction and retention of critically important
key executives, managers and individual contributors, mostly engineers, who
are essential to the Company's success.
The design of the Company's stock programs includes long vesting
periods to optimize the retention value of these options and to orient the
Company's managers to longer term success. Generally, stock options vest
one-third after three years from date of grant, two-thirds after four years
and 100% after five years. Restricted stock awards vest 100% after five
years. Generally, if employees leave the Company before these vesting
periods, they forfeit the unvested portions of these awards. While the
Company believes that these longer vesting periods are in the best interest
of stockholders, they tend to increase the number of options outstanding
compared to companies with shorter vesting schedules. The size of stock
option awards is generally intended to reflect the significance of the
executive's current and anticipated contributions to the Company. The
exercise price of options granted by the Company is set at 100% of the fair
market value per share on the date of grant.
The Company's 1991 Restricted Stock Plan ("Restricted Stock Plan")
provides for the award of restricted stock for a nominal, if any, purchase
price. Shares purchased under the plan are subject, for a period of five
years (the "Restricted Period"), to certain restrictions upon transfer and
provisions relating to forfeiture in the event of termination of
employment. If the employment of a recipient of an award is terminated
prior to the end of the Restricted Period for any reason other than death
or disability, all shares of Common Stock covered by the award shall be
offered promptly for resale by the recipient to the Company at the original
purchase price per share. Since the restricted shares are issued at nominal
consideration, the entire value of the shares will constitute additional
compensation to the individual at the time of vesting.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal 1996 Compensation
Mr. Stata, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was
eligible to participate in the same executive compensation program available to
the Company's other senior executives. The Compensation Committee has set Mr.
Stata's total annual compensation, including compensation derived from the
Company's bonus program and stock option program, at a level it believes to be
competitive with other companies in the industry.
During fiscal 1996, Mr. Stata's annual base salary was $595,350. He was
awarded a fiscal 1996 bonus of $680,419 which represented approximately 190% of
his Bonus Target (based on 60% of his base salary received during fiscal 1996)
and reflected the Company's attainment of OPBT of 19.0% for the entire fiscal
year.

<PAGE> 14
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax
deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million paid to its chief
executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive officers.
Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limit
if certain requirements are met. The Company has limited the number of shares
subject to stock options which may be granted to Company employees in a manner
that complies with the performance-based requirements of Section 162(m). While
the Committee does not currently intend to qualify the Bonus Plan or Restricted
Stock Plan as a performance-based plan, it will continue to monitor the impact
of Section 162(m) on the Company.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Based solely on its review of copies of reports filed pursuant to Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
or written representations from persons required to file such reports
("Reporting Persons"), the Company believes that, except as follows, all such
filings required to be made by such Reporting Persons were timely made in
accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act. In January 1997, Mr.
McDonough filed an amended Form 4 for the month of September 1996 reporting a
transaction which occurred in September 1996.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION
On December 3, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously
voted to recommend to the stockholders that the Company's Restated Articles of
Organization be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock from 450,000,000 shares to 600,000,000 shares and declared a four-for-
three split of the issued shares of the Company's Common Stock. The stock split
was effected as a 33 1/3% Common Stock dividend distributed by the Company on
January 6, 1997 to stockholders of record December 16, 1996.
The authorized Common Stock of the Company currently consists of
450,000,000 shares, $.16 2/3 par value per share, of which 159,479,013 shares
were outstanding as of December 31, 1996, approximately 28,157,320
13
<PAGE> 16
shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans,
stock purchase plans and other employee benefit plans; 10,984,970 shares were
reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's 3 1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2000; and 198,621,303 shares were reserved for issuance
upon exercise of Rights in connection with the Company's Shareholder Rights
Plan. The Board of Directors believes that the authorization of additional
shares of Common Stock is desirable to provide shares for issuance in connection
with possible future stock dividends, future financings, joint ventures,
acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. However, there is no existing
plan, understanding or agreement for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
with the exception of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance
described above. If the amendment is adopted by the stockholders, the Board of
Directors will have authority to issue shares of Common Stock without the
necessity of further stockholder action. Holders of the Common Stock have no
preemptive rights with respect to any shares which may be issued in the future.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes the adoption of this amendment is in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends a vote FOR the
adoption of this proposed amendment.
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has
selected the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as auditors of the
Company for the fiscal year ending November 1, 1997. Although stockholder
approval of the Board of Directors' selection of Ernst & Young LLP is not
required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give
stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If this proposal is not
approved at the Meeting, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection of
Ernst & Young LLP.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the
Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do
so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from
stockholders.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters which may come
before the Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented to the
Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to
vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. The
Company has engaged Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. ("CIC") to assist
with the solicitation of proxies. The Company expects to pay CIC less than
$10,000 for such services. In addition to solicitations by mail, CIC and the
Company's directors, officers and regular employees, without additional
remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph and personal
interviews. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward
proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in their names. The
Company will reimburse banks and brokers for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy materials.
