1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein 
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, 
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and 
footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion 
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal 
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair 
presentation have been included.  Operating results for 
the six months ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results to be expected for the year 
ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer 
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report or Form 
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.

	========    =======
</TABLE>

3. TAX RATE 

The effective tax rate for 1996 is estimated to be 28%.  
The 1996 tax rate has been favorably impacted by the 
expected significant reduction of the deferred tax asset 
valuation allowance as benefits are expected to be 
realized given the continued profitability of the Company 
throughout the world.

4. CONTINGENCIES

On August 7, 1996, the Company was dismissed from a 
lawsuit matter whereby the plaintiffs were charging that 
they and their respective properties were damaged from 
the release of contaminants into the ground water. There 
was insufficient evidence that the water beneath Burr-
Brown's site commingled with the contaminated ground 
water.

5. SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

On March 12, 1996, the Company completed the sale of its 
interest in Power Convertibles Corporation (PCC) to a 
subsidiary of Charter Power Systems Incorporated for 
$12.8 million in cash.  PCC produces battery chargers for 
cellular telephones and modular DC to DC converters used 
in a variety of applications.  During 1995,  PCC 
accounted for 9.5% of the Company's revenue and 3% of its 
profits.  PCC generated 4.9% of first quarter 1996 
revenue and made no contribution to net income.  Prior to 
the sale, PCC employed 440 people, or 21% of Burr-Brown's 
total world wide work force.  The sale of PCC will allow 
the Company to better focus resources on its primary 
business of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits.

BURR-BROWN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S 
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis may contain 
forward-looking statements that involve risks and 
uncertainties. Factors that might cause actual results to 
differ from those currently anticipated include, but are 
not limited to, those discussed under Factors Affecting 
Future Results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for three and six months ended of 1996 was 
$6.6 million or $.40 per share and $18.2 million or $1.08 
per share, respectively .  The first six month's net 
income is comprised of income from recurring operations 
of $13.4 million or $.80 per share and a non-recurring 
gain of $4.8 million or $.28 per share relating to the 
sale of  Power Convertibles Corporation (PCC), a 
subsidiary sold in the first quarter of 1996. Excluding 
this gain, compared to the first six months of 1995, net 
income from recurring operations increased by 16.5%.  
Improved gross profit, increased income from investments 
and strict control of operating expenses drove this 
improvement in profitability.

Revenue for the second quarter was $58.2 million.  When 
excluding revenue of PCC, revenue from ongoing operations 
was level with the preceding quarter.  Revenue, net of 
PCC activity, for the first six months of 1996 was $3.2 
million or 2.9% higher than the same period in 1995.  The 
Company's end markets of medical imaging, instrumentation 
and communications continued to show a strong demand.  
Industrial process control and digital audio, the 
Company's two largest segments remained stable with the 
prior quarter.  The computing market, in which the 
Company has very limited participation, continued to show 
weakness.     

Gross margin as a percentage of sales has continued to 
improve to 51.1%, a gain of 1 percentage point over the 
prior quarter and up 2.5 percentage points over 1995's 
second quarter. This is the sixth consecutive quarterly 
improvement in gross margin.  At 50.6% of sales, year-to-
date gross margin increased by 2.6 percentage points over 
1995's comparative period. Manufacturing cost reduction 
has resulted in this improvement in the gross margin 
ratio.  

Total operating expenses at $21.4 million were lower than 
the prior quarter and the year ago quarter.  Operating 
expenses for the first six months of 1996 were $1.6 
million or 3.5% lower than the first six months of 1995. 
These decreases occurred even though Research & 
Development (R&D) spending increased substantially as a 
percentage of sales.  R&D spending increased 2.6 
percentage points over the second quarter of 1995 and 2.4 
percentage points when comparing the first six months.  
R&D expense increased due to the addition of technical 
personnel and higher spending relating to new product and 
new manufacturing process development. This investment 
resulted in a record 15 new products introduced in the 
second quarter and 12 new product introductions in the 
first quarter.  Sales, Marketing and General and 
Administrative (SMG&A) expenses were reduced by 5.2% from 
the preceding quarter and by 16.4% over the year ago 
quarter.  These changes represent the continuation of a 
strategy to reduce the SMG&A expense while increasing R&D 
investments as a primary driver of revenue growth.  
Reductions in SMG&A were achieved through the 
consolidation of certain administrative activities, 
expanded use of third party distributors and tight 
expense control.

Interest income of $2 million was generated on the cash, 
cash equivalents and short-term investments that ranged 
from $85-93 million during the first six months of 1996. 
This compares to almost no interest income in the first 
six months of 1995. The first quarter effective tax rate 
was 28% as compared to 27% for 1995.  The 1996 effective 
tax rate has been favorably impacted by the expected 
significant reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation 
allowance as benefits are expected to be realized given 
the continued profitability of the Company throughout the 
world.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS 

International markets constitute the majority source of 
the Companys revenues.  The resulting transactions have 
exchange rate fluctuation risk associated with them.  
Exchange rate risk is reduced through the natural hedges 
afforded by the Companys foreign operations, dollar-
based or dollar-indexed sales transactions and the 
purchase of foreign contracts to hedge its foreign 
currency net accounts receivable due from the 
international subsidiaries.  The forward contracts are in 
three primary currencies:  Japanese Yen, British Pounds 
and German Marks.  Exchange rate fluctuations can also 
affect the Companys reported revenue to the extent that 
the international subsidiaries sales are in non-indexed 
foreign currencies but reported in the consolidated 
financial statements in U.S. dollars using a weighted 
average exchange rate.  When compared to the first six 
months of the prior year, the effect of foreign exchange 
rate changes had approximately an 8% unfavorable impact 
on first six months of 1996 revenue.

<PAGE>

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

The Companys future operating results cannot necessarily 
be predicted based on past performance due to a number of 
factors affecting the Company and the semiconductor 
industry.  The semiconductor industry is influenced by 
rapidly changing technology, the supply and price of raw 
materials, increased competition, price erosion, 
international monetary and economic conditions generally. 
 The Companys future success also rests in its ability 
to make new product introductions that are timely, 
achieve  market acceptance and produce acceptable 
margins.  Although the Company believes it has adequate 
resources to sustain current operations, its financial 
results may be significantly affected by the above and 
other factors.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments 
increased by $6.8 million or 7.8% during the first six 
months of 1996 to $93.0 million.  $12.8 million was 
realized from the sale of PCC.  During the first six 
months, 369,000 shares of Burr-Brown stock were 
repurchased at a cost of $7.6 million.  This represents 
partial execution of plans to repurchase up to 1 million 
shares of stock to take advantage of prices considered to 
be favorable to the Companys stockholders.  $9.1 million 
of cash was generated from operations as compared to 
$14.9 million in the first six months of 1995.  

Selling PCC and reducing inventory output resulted in net 
inventory remaining relatively flat when compared to year 
end Expenditures for plant and equipment totaled $14.9 
million compared to $9.5 million for the same period last 
year.  Budgeted capital investments primarily target 
capacity expansion at selected bottleneck points in 
manufacturing, modernization of manufacturing processes 
and an enterprise-wide upgrade of information systems.  
Total 1996 expenditures are anticipated to range between 
$30 million and $40 million.

At June 29, 1996, total debt was $24.8 million of which 
$3.2 million was term debt.  This compares to $20.9 
million at 1995 year end.  Most of this debt was held 
internationally and represented an interest rate 
arbitrage situation for the Company.  In addition to term 
debt, credit facilities of approximately $56.5 million 
with both domestic and international banks were available 
to the Company of which approximately $21.6 million or 
38% was utilized.  As of January 31, 1996, the Company 
renegotiated a $15 million revolving line of credit which 
expires in 1998.  The current ratio improved from 2.96 at 
year end to 3.03 at the end of June 29, 1996.  

Given both the current cash position and available credit 
facilities, Management believes the Company has 
sufficient capital resources available to meet its 
requirements for the foreseeable future.

Confirming managements opinions, on August 7, 1996 the 
Company was dismissed with prejudice from a lawsuit 
whereby the plaintiffs were charging that they and their 
respective properties were damaged from the release of 
contaminants into the ground water. There was 
insufficient evidence that the ground water beneath Burr-
Browns site commingled with the contaminated ground 
water.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 


On August 7, 1996, the Company was dismissed with 
prejudice from the following case due to insufficient 
evidence that ground water beneath Burr-Browns site 
commingled with the contaminated ground water:

Cordova v. Hughes Aircraft Company,  294158, Superior 
Court, State of Arizona, Pima County filed on January 13,

	2.0  Purpose.  This Plan is intended to benefit the 
Company by providing an incentive to and encouraging 
Stock ownership by key employees (including officers), 
non-employee members of the Board and consultants of the 
Company and its Subsidiaries; by providing such key 
employees, non-employee Board members and consultants the 
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest or to 
increase their proprietary interest in the Company's 
success; and by encouraging such individuals to remain in 
the Service of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

	3.0  Structure of the Plan.

	3.1  Stock Programs.  The Plan  shall be divided 
into three (3)  separate components:

		-	The Discretionary Option Grant Program, 
under which eligible individuals may, at the discretion 
of the Committee, be granted Options to purchase shares 
of Stock in accordance with the provisions of Article 
Two.

		-	The Stock Issuance Program, under which 
eligible individuals may be issued shares of Stock 
directly, through the immediate purchase of such shares 
at a price not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of 
their Fair Market Value at the time of issuance, as a 
bonus tied to the performance of services or the 
Company's attainment of financial objectives, without any 
cash payment required of the recipient.

		-	The Automatic Option Grant Program, 
under which each non-employee Board member shall 
automatically receive a special Option grant to purchase 
shares of Stock in accordance with the provisions of 
Article Four.

	3.2  General Provisions.  Unless the context 
clearly indicates otherwise, the provisions of Articles 
One and Five shall apply to the Discretionary Option 
Grant, Stock Issuance and Automatic Option Grant Programs 
and shall accordingly govern the interests of all 
individuals under the Plan.

	4.0   Administration.

	4.1  The Discretionary Option Grant and Stock 
Issuance Programs under the Plan shall be administered by 
the Committee.  The Committee shall initially have the 
same membership as the Board's Compensation Committee.  
No member of the Committee shall be, at the time of 
exercise of discretion in administering this Plan or 
within one (1) year prior thereto, a person eligible for 
participation in the Plan or any other plan of the 
Company or any of its Subsidiaries entitling the 
participants therein to acquire Stock, Stock options or 
Stock appreciation rights of the Company or any of its 
Subsidiaries, other than pursuant to the Automatic Option 
Grant Program.  Members of the Committee shall serve for 
such term as the Board may determine and shall be subject 
to removal by the Board at any time.  The Committee shall 
have full authority, subject to the express provisions of 
the Plan, to administer the Discretionary Option Grant 
and Stock Issuance Programs, including authority to 
interpret and construe any provision of such programs and 
to adopt such rules and regulations as it may deem 
necessary or appropriate.  Decisions of the Committee 
shall be final and binding on all parties who have an 
interest in the Discretionary Option Grant or Stock 
Issuance Program or any outstanding Option grant or Stock 
issuance hereunder.  No member of the Board or the 
Committee shall be liable for any action or determination 
made in good faith with respect to the Discretionary 
Option Grant or Stock Issuance Program or any Option 
grant or Stock issuance under it.

	5.0  Option Grants and Stock Issuances.

5.1  The persons eligible to participate in the 
Discretionary Option Grant Program under Article Two and 
the Stock Issuance Program under Article Three are as 
follows:

			-	officers and other key employees 
of the Company (or its parent or subsidiary corporations, 
whether now existing or subsequently established) who 
render services which contribute to the management, 
growth and financial success of the Company (or such 
parent or subsidiary corporations); and

			-	those consultants or other 
independent contractors who provide valuable services to 
the Company (or its parent or subsidiary corporations).
- -13-

<PAGE>	
	Non-employee Board members shall not be eligible to 
participate in the Discretionary Option Grant or Stock 
Issuance Program or in any other stock option, stock 
purchase, stock bonus, or other stock plan of the Company 
(or its parent or subsidiary corporations) other than the 
Automatic Option Grant Program under Article Four.5.3  
The Committee shall have full authority to determine, (i) 
with respect to the Option grants made under the 
Discretionary Option Grant Program, which eligible 
individuals are to receive Option grants, the number of 
shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of 
the granted Option as either an incentive stock option 
meeting the requirements of Code Sections 421 and 422 
("Incentive Option") or a nonstatutory option not 
intended to meet such requirements ("Nonstatutory 
Option"), the time or times at which each granted Option 
is to become exercisable and the maximum term for which 
the Option may remain outstanding; and (ii) with respect 
to Stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, 
which eligible individuals are to be selected for 
participation, the number of shares to be issued to each 
selected individual, the vesting schedule (if any) to be 
applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to 
be paid for such shares.

	6.0  Stock.

	6.1  Stock Available.  The Stock to be issued under 
this Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or 
shares issued and thereafter reacquired by the Company.  
The aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be 
issued pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed at any time 
2,116,959 shares,* subject to adjustment from time to 
time as provided in paragraph 6.3 below.  Such authorized 
share reserve is comprised of (i) the number of shares 
which remained available for issuance under the Original 
Plan as of the Effective Date, including the shares of 
Stock subject to the outstanding options under the 
Original Plan incorporated into this Plan and any other 
shares which would have been available for future option 
grant under the Original Plan (estimated to be 716,959 
shares* in the aggregate), plus (ii) an additional 
increase of 900,000 shares* of Stock previously 
authorized by the Board and approved by the Company's 
stockholders prior to the Plan Effective Date, and (iii) 
a further increase of 500,000 shares* of Stock authorized 
by the Board on February 16, 1996 subject to stockholder 
approval at 1996 Annual Meeting.  All issuances of Stock 
under the Plan, including any shares of Stock issued upon 
the exercise of options incorporated into the Plan from 
the Original Plan, shall reduce on a one-for-one basis 
the number of shares of Stock available for subsequent 
issuance under the Plan.  Should any Option or any 
portion thereof be terminated or canceled for any reason 
without being exercised or surrendered in accordance with 
Section 4 of Article Two or Section 3 of Article Four, 
the shares subject to the portion of the Option not so 
exercised or surrendered shall be available for 
subsequent Option grants or Stock issuances under this 
Plan.  Shares subject to an Option or portion thereof 
surrendered in accordance with Section 4 of Article Two 
shall not be available for subsequent Option grants or 
Stock issuances under the Plan.  If the Option price for 
any Options granted under the Plan is paid with shares of 
Stock or if any shares of Stock otherwise issuable under 
the Plan are withheld by the Company in satisfaction of 
the income and employment tax liability incurred in 
connection with any Optionee's or Participant's 
acquisition of Stock hereunder, then the number of shares 
of Stock available for subsequent issuance shall be 
reduced by the gross number of shares for which the 
Option is exercised or in which the Participant vests, 
and not by the net number of shares actually issued to 
the Optionee or the Participant.

	6.2  In no event may the aggregate number of shares 
of Stock for which any one individual participating in 
the Plan may be granted Options and direct Stock 
issuances exceed 900,000 shares* in the aggregate over 
the term of the Plan.  For purposes of such limitation, 
no Option grants or direct Stock issuances made prior to 
January 1, 1994 shall be taken into account.

	6.3  Corporate Reorganization.  In the event that 
any change is made to the securities issuable under the 
Plan (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, 
reorganization, recapitalization, Stock dividend, Stock 
split, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other 
change in capitalization) then, subject to the provisions 
of Section 2 of Article Two, Section 2 of Article Three 
and Section 3 of Article Four, the Committee may make 
appropriate adjustments in the maximum number and/or kind 
of securities issuable under the Plan, the maximum number 
and/or kind of securities for which Option grants and 
direct Stock issuances may be made to any one participant 
in the aggregate after December 31, 1993 and the number 
and/or kind of securities for which automatic Option 
grants are to be subsequently made per non-employee Board 
member under the Automatic Option Grant Program in order 
to reflect the effect of such change upon the Company's 
capital structure, and may make appropriate adjustments 
to the number and/or kind of securities and Option price 
of the securities subject to each outstanding Option to 
prevent the dilution of benefits thereunder.  The 
adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, 
binding and conclusive.

	6.4  Excess Grants and Issuances.  Options to 
purchase shares of Stock may be granted and shares of 
Stock may be issued under the Plan which are in both 
instances in excess of the number of shares then 
available for issuance under the Plan, provided any 
excess shares actually issued under the Plan are held in 
escrow until the Company's stockholders approve an 
amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of 
Stock available for issuance under the Plan.  If such 
stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) 
months after the date the initial excess issuances are 
made, whether as Option grants or direct Stock issuances, 
then (I) any unexercised Options representing such excess 
shall terminate and cease to be exercisable and (II) the 
Company shall promptly refund to the Optionees and 
Participants the Option or purchase price paid for any 
excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, 
together with interest (at the applicable Short Term 
Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in 
escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically 
cancelled and cease to be outstanding.

*This number reflects the 3-for-2 split of the Stock 
effected in May, 1995.

- -14-

<PAGE>
	6.5  Restrictions.  Shares issued under the 
Discretionary Option Grant or Stock Issuance Program may 
be subject to such restrictions on transfer, repurchase 
rights or other restrictions as shall be determined by 
the Committee.

	7.0  Effective Date and Term of Plan.

	7.1  Effective Date.  The Discretionary Option 
Grant and Stock Issuance Programs under the Plan were 
adopted by the Board on February 11, 1994, and the date 
of such adoption accordingly constitutes the Effective 
Date for those two programs and the Plan.  The Automatic 
Option Grant Program under the Plan was adopted by the 
Board on February 11, 1994 and became effective upon 
approval by the stockholders at the 1994 Annual Meeting 
held on April 22, 1994.  The date of such stockholder 
approval accordingly constitutes the Effective Date of 
the Automatic Option Grant Program.

	7.2    Amendment.  The Plan was amended and 
restated by the Board, effective February 16, 1996 (the 
"February 1996 Restatement") to increase the maximum 
number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance 
over the term of the Plan by an additional 500,000 shares 
to 2,116,959 shares.*  However, no options or shares 
granted on the basis of the 500,000-share increase to the 
Plan authorized by the February 1996 Restatement shall 
become exercisable in whole or in part unless and until 
the February 1996 Restatement is approved by the 
Corporation's stockholders.  Should such stockholder 
approval not be obtained at the 1996 Annual Meeting, any 
options granted on the basis of the 500,000-share 
increase to the Plan authorized by the February 1996 
Restatement shall terminate without ever becoming 
exercisable for any of the option shares, and no further 
option grants shall be made on the basis of the February 
1996 Restatement.  However, the Plan shall continue in 
full force and effect in accordance with the terms and 
provisions in effect under the Plan immediately prior to 
the February 1996 Restatement, and option grants and 
stock issuances may continue to be made under those 
programs until the existing share reserve under the Plan 
is issued.  All option grants made under the Plan prior 
to the February 1996 Restatement shall remain outstanding 
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 
respective instruments evidencing those options, and 
nothing in the February 1996 Restatement shall be deemed 
to modify or in any way affect those outstanding options.

	7.3  Term of Plan.  Unless sooner terminated in 
accordance with Section 2 of Article Two, Section 2 of 
Article Three, Section 3 of Article Four or by the Board, 
the Plan shall terminate on the earlier of:

(1)  the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date 
of the Plan; or

(2)  the date on which all shares available for issuance 
under the Plan shall have been issued or their 
availability cancelled pursuant to the surrender of 
Options granted hereunder.

		If the date of termination is determined 
under (i) above, then Options and unvested Stock 
issuances outstanding on such date shall continue to have 
force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the 
instruments evidencing such Options and Stock issuances.

	ARTICLE TWO

	DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

	1.0  Terms and Conditions of Options.  Options 
granted pursuant to this Discretionary Option Grant 
Program shall be authorized by the Committee and may be 
either Incentive Options or Nonstatutory Options.  The 
granted Options shall be evidenced by instruments in such 
form and including such terms and conditions as the 
Committee shall from time to time approve; provided, 
however, that each such instrument shall comply with the 
following terms and conditions:

	1.1  Option Price.

1.1.1  The Option price per share shall be fixed by the 
Committee, but in no event shall the Option price per 
share be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of 
the optioned Stock on the date of the Option grant.

1.1.2  Subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article 
Five, the Option price shall become immediately due and 
payable upon exercise of the Option and shall be payable 
in one of the alternative forms specified below:

	1.1.2.1  Full payment in United States dollars in 
cash or cash equivalents;

	1.1.2.2  Full payment in shares of Stock valued at 
Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised and 
held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge 
to the Company's earnings for financial reporting 
purposes;

	1.1.2.3  A combination of shares of Stock valued at 
Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised and 
held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge 
to the Company's earnings for financial reporting 
purposes, and cash or cash equivalents, equal in the 
aggregate to the Option price;

	1.1.2.4  Full payment through a broker-dealer sale 
and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee 
(I) shall provide irrevocable written instructions to a 
designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of 
the purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the 
sale proceeds available on the settlement date, 
sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Option price 
payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable 
Federal, state and local income and employment taxes 
required to be withheld by the Company in connection with 
such purchase and (II) shall provide written directives 
to the Company to deliver the certificates for the 
purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order 
to complete the sale transaction; or

	1.1.2.5  Such other lawful consideration as the 
Committee shall determine.

	1.2  Manner of Exercise of Options.  Each Option 
granted under the Discretionary Option Grant Program 
shall be exercisable at such time or times and during 
such period as shall be determined by the Committee and 
set forth in the instrument evidencing such Option.  
However, no Option may be exercised after the expiration 
of ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted.  
During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option, together 
with any related Stock appreciation right, shall be 
exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be 
assignable or transferable by the Optionee other than a 
transfer of the Option by will or by the laws of descent 
and distribution following the Optionee's death.  Options 
may be exercised by written notice to the Company in such 
terms as the Committee shall specify.
	
	1.3  Stockholder Rights.  An Option holder shall 
have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to 
any shares issuable under the Plan until such individual 
shall have been issued a stock certificate for the 
shares.

	1.  Dollar Limitation.  The aggregate Fair Market 
Value (determined as of the respective date or dates of 
grant) of the Stock for which one or more Options granted 
to any employee after December 31, 1986 under this Plan 
(or any other option plan of the Company or its parent or 
Subsidiary corporations) may for the first time become 
exercisable as incentive stock options under the Federal 
tax laws during any one calendar year shall not exceed 
the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  To 
the extent the employee holds two (2) or more such 
Options which become exercisable for the first time in 
the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the 
exercisability of such Options as incentive stock options 
under the Federal tax laws shall be applied on the basis 
of the order in which such Options are granted.  Should 
the number of shares of Stock for which any Incentive 
Option first becomes exercisable in any calendar year 
exceed the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar 
($100,000) limitation, then the Option may nevertheless 
be exercised in that calendar year for the excess number 
of shares as a nonstatutory option under the Federal tax 
laws.
- -16-

<PAGE>
	1.5  Termination of Service.

		1.5.1  Except to the extent otherwise 
provided in paragraph 1.5.4 below, the following 
provisions shall govern the exercise period applicable to 
any outstanding Options under this Discretionary Option 
Grant Program held by the Optionee at the time of 
cessation of Service or death.

			-	Should the Optionee cease to 
remain in Service for any reason other than death or 
permanent disability, then the period during which each 
outstanding Option held by such Optionee is to remain 
exercisable shall be limited to the three (3)-month 
period following the date of such cessation of Service.  
However, the Committee shall have the discretion to 
provide for a longer post-Service exercise period (not to 
exceed the expiration date of the maximum Option term) in 
the event the Optionee ceases Service by reason of 
retirement at or after attainment of age sixty-five (65).

			-	In the event such Service 
terminates by reason of permanent disability (as defined 
in Code Section 22(e)(3)) or should the Optionee die 
while holding one or more outstanding Options, then the 
period during which each such Option is to remain 
exercisable shall be limited to the twelve (12)-month 
period following the date of the Optionee's cessation of 
Service or death.  During the limited exercise period 
following the Optionee's death, the Option may be 
exercised by the personal representative of the 
Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the 
Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or 
in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.

			-	Under no circumstances, however, 
shall any such Option be exercisable after the specified 
expiration date of the Option term.

		1.5.2  During the post-Service exercise 
period, the Option may not be exercised for more than the 
number of shares of Stock in which the Optionee is vested 
at the time of cessation of Service.  Upon the expiration 
of such post-Service exercise period or (if earlier) upon 
the expiration of the Option term, the Option shall 
terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested 
shares for which the Option has not been exercised.  
However, each Option shall immediately terminate and 
cease to be outstanding, at the time of the Optionee's 
cessation of Service, with respect to any optioned shares 
for which such Option is not otherwise at that time 
exercisable or in which the Optionee is not otherwise at 
that time vested.

		1.5.3  Should (i) the Optionee's Service be 
terminated for misconduct (including, but not limited to, 
any act of dishonesty, willful misconduct, fraud or 
embezzlement) or (ii) the Optionee make any unauthorized 
use or disclosure of confidential information or trade 
secrets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, then in any 
such event all outstanding Options held by the Optionee 
under this Discretionary Option Grant Program shall 
terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

		1.5.4  The Committee shall have full power 
and authority to extend the period of time for which the 
Option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee's 
cessation of Service or death from the limited post-
Service exercise period specified in the instrument 
evidencing such grant to such greater period of time as 
the Committee shall deem appropriate under the 
circumstances.  In no event, however, shall such Option 
be exercisable after the specified expiration date of the 
Option term.

		1.5.5  The Committee shall have complete 
discretion, exercisable either at the time the Option is 
granted or at any time the Option remains outstanding, to 
permit one or more Options granted under this 
Discretionary Option Grant Program to be exercised not 
only for the number of shares for which each such Option 
is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of 
Service but also for one or more subsequent installments 
of purchasable shares for which the Option would 
otherwise have become exercisable had such cessation of 
Service not occurred.

	2.0  Corporate Transactions/Changes in Control.

	2.1  Option Acceleration.  Each Option which is 
outstanding under this Discretionary Option Grant Program 
at the time of a Corporate Transaction shall 
automatically accelerate so that each such Option shall, 
immediately prior to the specified effective date for 
such Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable with 
respect to the total number of shares of Stock at the 
time subject to such Option and may be exercised for all 
or any portion of such shares.  However, an outstanding 
Option under this Discretionary Option Grant Program 
shall not so accelerate if and to the extent:  (i) such 
Option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, 
either to be assumed by the successor corporation or 
parent thereof or to be replaced with a comparable option 
to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor 
corporation or parent thereof, (ii) such Option is to be 
replaced with a cash incentive program of
- -17-

<PAGE>
the successor corporation which preserves the option 
spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction 
and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the 
same vesting schedule applicable to such Option, or (iii) 
the acceleration of such Option is subject to other 
limitations imposed by the Committee at the time of the 
Option grant.  The determination of option comparability 
under clause (i) above shall be made by the Committee and 
its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 The Committee shall also have full power and authority 
to grant Options under the Plan which are to 
automatically accelerate in whole or in part upon the 
termination of the Optionee's Service following a 
Corporate Transaction, whether or not those Options are 
otherwise to be assumed or replaced in connection with 
the consummation of such Corporate Transaction.

	2.2  Termination of Options.  Immediately following 
the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all 
outstanding Options under this Discretionary Option Grant 
Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, 
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation 
or its parent company.

	2.3  Option Adjustments.  Each outstanding Option 
under this Discretionary Option Grant Program which is 
assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction or 
is otherwise to continue in effect shall be appropriately 
adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, 
to apply and pertain to the number and kind of securities 
which would have been issued to the Option holder, in 
consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had such 
person exercised the Option immediately prior to such 
Corporate Transaction.  Appropriate adjustments shall 
also be made to the Option price payable per share, 
provided the aggregate Option price payable for such 
securities shall remain the same.  In addition, the class 
and kind of securities available for issuance under the 
Plan on both an aggregate and per participant basis 
following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction 
shall be appropriately adjusted.

	2.4  Change in Control.  The Committee shall have 
the discretionary authority, exercisable either in 
advance of any actually-anticipated Change in Control or 
at the time of an actual Change in Control, to provide 
for the automatic acceleration of outstanding Options 
under this Discretionary Option Grant Program upon the 
occurrence of the Change in Control.  The Committee shall 
also have full power and authority to condition any such 
Option acceleration upon the subsequent termination of 
the Optionee's Service within a specified period 
following the Change in Control.

	2.5  Option Continuation.  Any Options accelerated 
in connection with the Change in Control shall remain 
fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner 
termination of the Option term or the surrender of such 
Option in accordance with Section 4 of this Article Two.

	2.6  ISO Limitation.  The exercisability as 
incentive stock options under the Federal tax laws of any 
Options accelerated under this Section 2 in connection 
with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall 
remain subject to the dollar limitation of paragraph 1.4 
of this Article Two.

	2.7  Right to Modify Corporate Structure.  The 
grant of Options under this Plan shall in no way effect 
the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, 
reorganize, or otherwise change its capital or business 
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, 
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or 
assets.

	3.0  Cancellation and New Grant of Options.  The 
Committee shall have the authority to effect, at any time 
and from time to time, with the consent of the affected 
Option holders, the cancellation of any or all 
outstanding Options under this Discretionary Option Grant 
Program and to grant in substitution therefor new Options 
under the Plan covering the same or different number and 
kind of shares of Stock but having an Option price per 
share not less than the Fair Market Value of the optioned 
Stock on the new grant date.

	4.0  Surrender of Options for Cash or Stock.

	4.1  Surrender Right.  One or more Optionees may be 
granted the right, exercisable upon such terms and 
conditions as the Committee may establish, to surrender 
all or part of an unexercised Option under this 
Discretionary Option Grant Program in exchange for a 
distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the 
excess of (i) the Fair Market Value (on the Option 
surrender date) of the number of shares in which the 
Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered 
Option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (ii) the 
aggregate Option price payable for such vested shares.

	4.2  Approval. No such Option surrender shall be 
effective unless it is approved by the Committee.  If the 
surrender is so approved, then the distribution to which 
the Optionee shall accordingly become entitled under this 
Section 4 may be made in shares of Stock valued at Fair 
Market Value on the Option surrender date, in cash or 
partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Committee 
shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

	4.3  Limited Rights.  One or more officers of the 
Company subject to the short-swing profit restrictions of 
the Federal securities laws may, in the Committee's sole 
discretion, be granted limited stock appreciation rights 
in tandem with their outstanding Options under this 
Discretionary Option Grant Program.  Upon the occurrence 
of a Hostile Take-Over, each such officer holding one or 
more Options with such a limited stock appreciation right 
in effect for at least six (6) months shall have the 
unconditional right (exercisable for a thirty (30)-day 
period following such Hostile Take-Over) to surrender 
each such Option to the Company, to the extent the Option 
is at the time exercisable for vested shares of Stock.  
In return for the surrendered Option, the officer shall 
be entitled to a cash distribution from the Company in an 
amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of 
the shares of Stock which are at the time vested under 
each surrendered Option (or surrendered portion) over 
(ii) the aggregate Option price payable for such vested 
shares.  Such cash distribution shall be paid within five 
(5) days following the Option surrender date.  Neither 
the approval of the Committee nor the consent of the 
Board shall be required in connection with such Option 
surrender and cash distribution.  The balance of the 
Option (if any) shall continue in full force and effect 
in accordance with the instrument evidencing such grant.

ARTICLE THREE

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM


	1.0  Terms and Conditions of Direct Stock 
Issuances.  Stock may be issued under this Stock Issuance 
Program, either through direct and immediate purchases 
without any intervening Option grants or as unvested 
shares issued upon the exercise of immediately 
exercisable Options granted under Article Two.  The 
issued shares shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance 
Agreement ("Issuance Agreement") that complies with the 
following terms and conditions:

	1.1  Consideration.

		1.1.1  Stock drawn from the Company's 
authorized but unissued shares of Stock ("Newly Issued 
Shares") shall be issued for one or more of the following 
items of consideration which the Committee may deem 
appropriate in each individual instance:

		(i)	cash or cash equivalents (such as a 
personal check or bank draft) paid the Company;

		(ii)	a promissory note payable to the 
Company's order in one or more installments, which may be 
subject to cancellation in whole or in part upon terms 
and conditions established by the Committee; or

		(iii)	past services rendered to the Company 
or any Subsidiary.

		1.1.2  Newly Issued Shares must be issued for 
consideration with a value not less than one-hundred 
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such shares at 
the time of issuance.

		1.1.3  Shares of Stock reacquired by the 
Company and held as treasury shares ("Treasury Shares") 
may be issued for such consideration (including one or 
more of the items of consideration specified in paragraph 
1.1.1. of this Article Three) as the Committee may deem 
appropriate.  Treasury Shares may, in lieu of any cash 
consideration, be issued subject to such vesting 
requirements tied to the Participant's period of future 
Service or the Company's attainment of specified 
performance objectives as the Committee may establish at 
the time of issuance.

	1.2  Vesting Provisions.

		(i)  The issued Stock may, in the absolute 
discretion of the Committee, be fully and immediately 
vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more 
installments over the Participant's period of Service.  
The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any 
unvested shares of Stock, namely:

	 (ii)	the Service period to be completed by the 
Participant or the performance objectives to be achieved 
by the Company,

	(iii)	the number of installments in which the 
shares are to vest,

	(iv)	the interval or intervals (if any) which are 
to lapse between installments, and

	(v)	the effect which death, disability or other 
event designated by the Committee is to have upon the 
vesting schedule,

shall be determined by the Committee and incorporated 
into the Issuance Agreement executed by the Company and 
the Participant at the time such unvested shares are 
issued.

	1.3  Stockholder Rights.  The Participant shall 
have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares 
of Stock issued to him or her under this Stock Issuance 
Program, whether or not his or her interest in those 
shares is vested.  Accordingly, the Participant shall 
have the right to vote such shares and to receive any 
regular cash dividends paid on such shares.  Any new, 
additional or different shares of Stock or other property 
(including money paid other than as a regular cash 
dividend) which the Participant may have the right to 
receive with respect to his or her unvested shares by 
reason of any Stock dividend, Stock split, reclass-
ification of Stock or other similar change in the 
Company's capital structure or by reason of any Corporate 
Transaction shall be issued, subject to (i) the same 
vesting requirements applicable to his or her unvested 
shares and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Committee 
shall deem appropriate.

<PAGE>
	1..4  Termination of Service.

		1.4.1  Should the Participant cease to remain 
in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of 
Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered 
to the Company for cancellation, and the Participant 
shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to 
those shares.  To the extent the surrendered shares were 
previously issued to the Participant for consideration 
paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the 
Participant's purchase-money promissory note), the 
Company shall repay to the Participant the cash 
consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall 
cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding 
purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to 
such surrendered shares.  The surrendered shares may, at 
the Committee's discretion, be retained by the Company as 
Treasury Shares or may be retired to authorized but 
unissued share status.

		1.4.2  The Committee may in its discretion 
elect to waive the surrender and cancellation of one or 
more unvested shares of Stock (or other assets 
attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon 
the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to 
such shares.  Such waiver shall result in the immediate 
vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of 
Stock as to which the waiver applies.  Such waiver may be 
effected at any time, whether before or after the 
Participant's cessation of Service or the attainment or 
non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives.

	2.0  Corporate Transactions/Changes in Control.

2.1  All unvested shares of Stock outstanding under this 
Stock Issuance Program shall immediately vest in full 
upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, except to 
the extent the Committee imposes limitations in the 
Issuance Agreement which preclude such accelerated 
vesting in whole or in part.

2.2  The Committee shall have the discretionary 
authority, exercisable either in advance of any actually-
anticipated Change in Control or at the time of an actual 
Change in Control, to provide for the immediate and 
automatic vesting of one or more unvested shares of Stock 
outstanding under this Stock Issuance Program at the time 
of such Change in Control.  The Committee shall also have 
full power and authority to condition any such 
accelerated vesting upon the subsequent termination of 
the Participant's Service within a specified period 
following the Change in Control.

	3.0  Transfer Restrictions/Share Escrow.

3.1  Unvested shares may, in the Committee's discretion, 
be held in escrow by the Company until the Participant's 
interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly 
to the Participant with restrictive legends on the 
certificates evidencing such unvested shares.

3.2  The Participant shall have no right to transfer any 
unvested shares of Stock issued to him or her under this 
Stock Issuance Program.  For purposes of this 
restriction, the term "transfer" shall include (without 
limitation) any sale, pledge, assignment, encumbrance, 
gift or other disposition of such shares, whether 
voluntary or involuntary.  Upon any such attempted 
transfer, the unvested shares shall immediately be 
cancelled, and neither the Participant nor the proposed 
transferee shall have any rights with respect to those 
shares.  However, the Participant shall have the right to 
make a gift of unvested shares acquired under this Stock 
Issuance Program to his or her spouse or issue, including 
adopted children, or to a trust established for such 
spouse or issue, provided the donee of such shares 
delivers to the Company a written agreement to be bound 
by all the provisions of the Plan and the Issuance 
Agreement applicable to the gifted shares.

ARTICLE FOUR

AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM


	1.0  Eligibility.

	1.1  Eligible Optionees.  The individuals eligible 
to receive automatic Option grants pursuant to the 
provisions of this Article Four shall be limited to 
(i) those individuals who are serving as non-employee 
Board members on the date of the 1994 Annual Stockholders 
Meeting and (ii) those individuals who are first elected 
or appointed as non-employee Board members on or after 
the date of such Annual Meeting, whether through 
appointment by the Board or election by the Company's 
stockholders.  Any non-employee Board member eligible to 
participate in the Automatic Option Grant Program 
pursuant to the foregoing criteria shall be designated an 
Eligible Director for purposes of this Article Four.

	1.2  Limitation.  Except for the Option grants to 
be made pursuant to the provisions of this Automatic 
Option Grant Program, non-employee Board members shall 
not be eligible to receive any additional Option grants 
or Stock issuances under this Plan or any other stock 
plan of the Company (or its parent or subsidiaries).

	2.0  Terms and Conditions of Automatic Option 
Grants.

	2.1  Grant Dates.  Option grants shall be made 
under this Article Four on the dates specified below:

		2.1.1  Each individual who is serving as an 
Eligible Director on the date of the 1994 Annual 
Stockholders Meeting will automatically be granted, on 
such date, a Nonstatutory Option to purchase 15,000* 
shares of Stock upon the terms and conditions of this 
Article Four.

		2.1.2  Each individual who first becomes an 
Eligible Director on or after the date of the 1994 Annual 
Meeting, whether through election by the Company's 
stockholders or appointment by the Board, shall 
automatically be granted, at the time of such initial 
election or appointment, a Nonstatutory Option to 
purchase 15,000* shares of Stock upon the terms and 
conditions of this Article Four.

2.2  The number of shares for which the automatic Option 
grants are to be made to Eligible Directors shall be 
subject to periodic adjustment pursuant to the applicable 
provisions of paragraph 6.3 of Article One.

	2.3  Option Price.  The Option price per share of 
Stock of each automatic Option grant made under this 
Article Four shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) 
of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the 
automatic grant date.

	2.4  Option Term.  Each automatic Option grant 
under this Article Four shall have a maximum term of ten 
(10) years measured from the automatic grant date.

	2.5  Exercisability/Vesting.  Each automatic Option 
grant shall be immediately exercisable for any or all of 
the optioned shares.  However, any shares purchased under 
the Option shall be subject to repurchase by the Company, 
at the Option price paid per share, upon the Optionee's 
cessation of Board service prior to vesting in those 
shares in accordance with the schedule below:

	2.5.1  Each automatic Option grant shall vest, and 
the Company's repurchase right shall lapse, in a series 
of five (5) equal and successive annual installments over 
the Optionee's period of continued Service as a Board 
member, with the first such installment to vest upon 
Optionee's completion of one (1) year of Board service 
measured from the automatic grant date.

		2.5.2  Vesting of the optioned shares shall 
be subject to acceleration as provided in paragraph 2.8.3 
and Section 3 of this Article Four.  In no event shall 
any additional optioned shares vest after the Optionee's 
cessation of Board service, except as otherwise 
specifically provided pursuant to paragraph 2.8.3 of this 
Article Four.

	2.6  Payment.  The Option price shall be payable in 
one of the alternative forms specified in paragraph 1.1.2 
of Article Two.  To the extent the Option is exercised 
for any unvested shares, the Optionee must execute and 
deliver to the Company a Stock issuance agreement for 
those unvested shares which provides the Company with the 
right to repurchase, at the Option price paid per share, 
any unvested shares held by the Optionee at the time of 
cessation of Board service and which precludes the sale, 
transfer or other disposition of any shares purchased 
under the Option, to the extent those shares are subject 
to the Company's repurchase right.

 This number reflects the 3-for-2 split of the Stock 
effected in May, 1995.

- -22-
<PAGE>
	2.7  Non-Transferability.  During the lifetime of 
the Optionee, the automatic Option grant, together with 
the limited Stock appreciation right pertaining to such 
Option, shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and 
shall not be assignable or transferable other than a 
transfer of the Option effected by will or by the laws of 
descent and distribution following the Optionee's death.

	2.8  Termination of Board Service.

		2.8.1  Should the Optionee cease service as a 
Board member for any reason other than death or permanent 
disability, while holding any automatic Option grant 
under this Article Four, then such individual shall have 
a six (6)-month period following the date of such 
cessation of Board service in which to exercise that 
Option for any or all of the optioned shares in which the 
Optionee is vested at the time of such cessation of Board 
service.  However, the Option shall immediately terminate 
and cease to remain outstanding, at the time of such 
cessation of Board service, with respect to any optioned 
shares in which the Optionee is not otherwise at that 
time vested under that Option.

		2.8.2  Should the Optionee die within six (6) 
months after cessation of Board service, then any 
automatic Option grant held by the Optionee at the time 
of death may subsequently be exercised, for any or all of 
the optioned shares in which the Optionee is vested at 
the time of his or her cessation of Board service (less 
any optioned shares subsequently purchased by the 
Optionee prior to death), by the personal representative 
of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to 
whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's 
will or in accordance with the laws of descent and 
distribution.  The right to exercise each such Option 
shall lapse upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month 
period measured from the date of the Optionee's death.

		2.8.3  Should the Optionee die or become 
permanently disabled (as defined in Code Section 
22(e)(3)) while serving as a Board member, then the 
shares of Stock at the time subject to any automatic 
Option grant held by the Optionee shall immediately vest 
in full (and the Company's repurchase right with respect 
to such shares shall terminate), and the Optionee (or the 
representative of the Optionee's estate or the person or 
persons to whom the Option is transferred upon the 
Optionee's death) shall have a twelve (12)-month period 
following the date of the Optionee's cessation of Board 
service in which to exercise such Option for any or all 
of those vested shares of Stock.

		2.8.4  In no event shall any automatic Option 
grant under this Article Four remain exercisable after 
the expiration date of the ten (10)-year Option term.  
Upon the expiration of the applicable post-Service 
exercise period under paragraphs 2.8.1 through 2.8.3 
above or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the ten 
(10)-year Option term, the automatic Option grant shall 
terminate and cease to remain outstanding for any 
optioned shares in which the Optionee was vested at the 
time of his or her cessation of Board Service but for 
which such Option was not otherwise exercised.

	2.9  Stockholder Rights.  The holder of an 
automatic Option grant under this Article Four shall have 
none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any 
shares subject to that Option until such individual shall 
have exercised the Option and paid the Option price for 
the purchased shares.

	2.10  Remaining Terms.  The remaining terms and 
conditions of each automatic Option grant shall be as set 
forth in the form Automatic Stock Option Agreement 
attached as Exhibit A to the Plan.

	3.0  Corporate Transactions/Changes in 
Control/Hostile Take-Overs.

3.1  In the event of any Corporate Transaction, the 
shares of Stock at the time subject to each outstanding 
Option under this Article Four but not otherwise vested 
shall automatically vest in full, and the Company's 
repurchase right with respect to those shares shall 
terminate, so that each such Option shall, immediately 
prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate 
Transaction, become fully exercisable for all of the 
shares of Stock at the time subject to that Option and 
may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as 
fully vested shares of Stock.  Immediately following the 
consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all automatic 
Option grants under this Article Four shall terminate and 
cease to remain outstanding.

3.2  In connection with any Change in Control, the shares 
of Stock at the time subject to each outstanding Option 
under this Article Four but not otherwise vested shall 
automatically vest in full, and the Company's repurchase 
right with respect to those shares shall terminate, so 
that each such Option shall, immediately prior to the 
occurrence of such Change in Control, become fully 
exercisable for all of the shares of Stock at the time 
subject to that Option and may be exercised for all or 
any portion of such shares as fully vested shares of 
Stock.  Each such Option shall remain so exercisable 
until the expiration or sooner termination of the Option 
term.
- -23-

<PAGE>
3.3  Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the 
Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to 
surrender to the Company any Option held by him or her 
under this Article Four for a period of at least six (6) 
months.  The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a 
cash distribution from the Company in an amount equal to 
the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the shares of 
Stock at the time subject to the surrendered Option 
(whether or not the Optionee is otherwise at the time 
vested in those shares) over (ii) the aggregate Option 
price payable for such shares.  Such cash distribution 
shall be paid within five (5) days following the 
surrender of the Option to the Company.  Neither the 
approval of the Committee nor the consent of the Board 
shall be required in connection with such Option 
surrender and cash distribution.  The shares of Stock 
subject to each Option surrendered in connection with the 
Hostile Take-Over shall not be available for subsequent 
issuance under the Plan.

3.4  The automatic Option grants outstanding under this 
Article Four shall in no way affect the right of the 
Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise 
change its capital or business structure or to merge, 
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all 
or any part of its business or assets.

	4.0  Amendment of the Automatic Grant Provisions.

		The provisions of this Automatic Option Grant 
Program, together with the automatic Option grants 
outstanding under this Article Four, may not be amended 
at intervals more frequently than once every six (6) 
months, other than to the extent necessary to comply with 
applicable Federal income tax laws and regulations.

MISCELLANEOUS

	1.0  Installment Payments, Loans and Guarantees of 
Loans.

1.1  The Committee may, in its discretion, assist any 
Optionee or Participant (other than an Optionee or 
Participant who is a non-employee member of the Board) in 
the exercise of one or more Options granted to such 
Optionee or the purchase of one or more shares of Stock 
issued to such Participant under the Plan, including the 
satisfaction of any Federal, state and local income and 
employment tax obligations arising therefrom, by 
(i) authorizing the extension of a loan from the Company 
to such Optionee or Participant, (ii) permitting the 
Optionee or Participant to pay the Option price or 
purchase price for the purchased Stock in installments 
over a period of years or (iii) authorizing a guarantee 
by the Company of a third-party loan to the Optionee or 
Participant.  The terms of any loan, installment method 
of payment or guarantee (including the interest rate and 
terms of repayment) shall be upon such terms as the 
Committee specifies in the applicable Option or Issuance 
Agreement or otherwise deems appropriate under the 
circumstances.  Loans, installment payments and 
guarantees may be granted with or without security or 
collateral.  However, the maximum credit available to the 
Optionee or Participant may not exceed the Option or 
purchase price of the acquired shares (less the par value 
of such shares) plus any Federal, state and local income 
and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or 
Participant in connection with the acquisition of such 
shares.

1.2  The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, 
determine that one or more loans extended under this 
financial assistance program shall be subject to 
forgiveness by the Company in whole or in part upon such 
terms and conditions as the Committee may deem 
appropriate.

	2.0  Amendment of the Plan.  The Board shall have 
complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or 
modify the Plan, and the Committee may amend or modify 
the terms of any outstanding Options or unvested Stock 
issuances under the Plan in any or all aspects whatsoever 
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.  However, 
(i) no such amendment or modification shall adversely 
affect rights and obligations with respect to Options at 
the time outstanding under the Plan, nor adversely affect 
the rights of any Participant with respect to Stock 
issued under the Plan prior to such action, unless the 
Optionee or Participant consents to such amendment, and 
(ii) any amendment made to the Automatic Option Grant 
Program (or any Options outstanding thereunder) shall be 
in compliance with the limitation of Section 4 of Article 
Four.  In addition, the Board shall not, without the 
approval of the Company's stockholders, amend the Plan 
to:

(i)  materially increase the maximum number of shares 
issuable under the Plan or the number of shares for which 
Options may be granted to Eligible Directors under the 
Automatic Option Grant Program or the maximum number of 
shares for which any one individual participating in the 
Plan may be granted Options and direct Stock issuances in 
the aggregate after December 31, 1993, except for 
permissible adjustments under paragraph 6.3 of Article 
One;

(ii)  materially increase the benefits accruing to 
individuals who participate in the Plan; or

(iii)  materially modify the eligibility requirements for 
the grant of Options or the issuance of Stock under the 
Plan.

		3.0  Use of Proceeds.  Any cash proceeds 
received by the Company from the sale of shares pursuant 
to Option grants or direct Stock issuances under the Plan 
shall be used for general corporate business.

4.0  Withholding.

4.1  The Company's obligation to deliver shares of Stock 
upon the exercise of Options for such shares or upon the 
direct issuance or vesting of such shares under the Plan 
shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable 
Federal, state and local income and employment tax 
withholding requirements.

4.2  The Committee may, in its discretion and in 
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and such 
supplemental rules as the Committee may from time to time 
adopt (including applicable safe-harbor provisions of SEC 
Rule 16b-3), provide any or all holders of Nonstatutory 
Options (other than the automatic Option grants made 
pursuant to Article Four of the Plan) or unvested shares 
under the Stock Issuance Program with the right to use 
shares of Stock in satisfaction of all or part of the 
Federal, state and local income and employment tax 
liabilities incurred by such holders in connection with 
the exercise of their Options or the vesting of their 
shares (the "Taxes").  Such right may be provided to any 
such holder in either or both of the following formats:
- -25-

<PAGE>
			4.2.1  Stock Withholding.  The holder 
of the Nonstatutory Option or unvested shares may be 
provided with the election to have the Company withhold, 
from the shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon the 
exercise of such Nonstatutory Option or the vesting of 
such shares, a portion of those shares with an aggregate 
Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the 
applicable Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent 
(100%)) designated by the holder.

			4.2.2  Stock Delivery.  The Committee 
may, in its discretion, provide the holder of the 
Nonstatutory Option or the unvested shares with the 
election to deliver to the Company, at the time the 
Nonstatutory Option is exercised or the shares vest, one 
or more shares of Stock already held by such individual 
with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the 
percentage of the Taxes incurred in connection with such 
Option exercise or share vesting (not to exceed one 
hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder.

	5.0  Regulatory Approvals.  The implementation of 
the Plan, the granting of any Option hereunder and the 
issuance of Stock upon the exercise or surrender of any 
such Option or as a direct issuance under the Plan shall 
be subject to the Company's procurement of all approvals 
and permits required by regulatory authorities having 
jurisdiction over the Plan, the Options granted under it 
and the Stock issued pursuant to it.

	6.0  No Employment Rights.  Nothing in the Plan 
shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any 
right to continue in the Service of the Company (or any 
Subsidiary employing or retaining such Optionee or 
Participant) for any period of specific duration or 
interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the 
rights of the Company (or any such Subsidiary) or of the 
Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby 
expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Service of 
the Optionee or Participant at any time for any reason 
whatsoever, with or without cause.

	7.0  Certain Outstanding Options.

7.1  Each Option granted under the Company's Original 
Plan or the 1980 Burr-Brown Research Corporation 
Executive Stock Plan which was outstanding on the 
Effective Date of this Plan was incorporated into this 
Plan and treated as an outstanding Option under this 
Plan, but each such Option continues to be governed 
solely by the terms and conditions of the instrument 
evidencing such grant, and nothing in this Plan shall be 
deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or 
obligations of the holders of such Options with respect 
to their acquisition of shares of Stock thereunder.

7.2  One or more provisions of this Plan, including the 
Option/vesting acceleration provisions applicable in the 
event of a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control or 
the limited surrender rights exercisable in the event of 
a Hostile Take-Over, may, in the Committee's discretion, 
be extended to one or more Options which were outstanding 
under the Company's Original Plan or the 1980 Burr-Brown 
Research Corporation Executive Stock Plan on the 
Effective Date of this Plan but which do not otherwise 
provide for such benefits.

		IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the February 16, 1996 
Restatement of the BURR-BROWN CORPORATION 1993 STOCK 
INCENTIVE PLAN is hereby declared effective and is 
executed as of May 22, 1996 on behalf of the Company by 
its hereunto duly authorized officer.
