TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
Diluted earnings per common share are based on average common and dilutive
potential common shares outstanding (400.0 and 394.4 million shares for the
first quarters of 1998 and 1997).
In the first quarter of 1998, the company's U.S. DRAM manufacturing joint
venture with Hitachi, Ltd. was discontinued. In this connection, TI incurred
a first quarter pretax charge of $219 million, which is included in cost of
revenues. Also in this quarter, research and development expense included a
charge of $25 million for the value of acquired in-process research and
development from two business acquisitions. There is no tax offset for $10
million of this R&D charge.
The company adopted SFAS No. 130 in the first quarter of 1998. This standard
requires disclosure of total nonowner changes in stockholders' equity, which
is defined as net income plus direct adjustments to stockholders' equity such
as equity and cash investment adjustments and pension liability adjustments.
On this basis, these nonowner changes in stockholders' equity, including net
income, for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, totaled $4 million and $128
million.
A new accounting standard, SOP 98-1, was issued in first quarter, 1998, and is
effective in 1999. It requires capitalization of the development costs of
software to be used internally, e.g., for manufacturing or administrative
processes. The company, which currently expenses such amounts as incurred,
expects to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 1999 for developmental
costs incurred in that quarter and thereafter. The effect has not yet been
determined.
In the first quarter of 1997, the company sold its mobile computing business
and terminated its digital imaging printing development program. As a result,
the company took a pretax charge of $56 million in the first quarter, of which
$27 million was for severance for involuntary employment reductions worldwide.
These severance actions were essentially completed by the end of the quarter
and affected approximately 1,045 employees. The balance, $29 million, was for
other costs associated with the business sale and program termination,
including vendor cancellation and lease charges.
The statements of income, statements of cash flows and balance sheet at March
31, 1998, are not audited but reflect all adjustments which are of a normal
recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results of the periods shown.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The Registrant (the "company" or "TI") announced that revenues and orders for
digital signal processing solutions (DSPS) increased in the first quarter from
the same period a year ago, driven by record orders for wireless
communications. However, total TI first quarter revenues and orders were down
from first quarter 1997, primarily because of severe price declines of dynamic
random access memory (DRAM) chips.
Average unit prices for DRAMs dropped 60 percent from the first quarter of
1997 to the first quarter of 1998, resulting in a loss in TI's memory
operations that was more than double that of the year-ago quarter. The memory
operating loss was $129 million, an increase of $0.08 per share from the
memory loss in the fourth quarter of 1997.
The turmoil in Asia and customer inventory reductions during the first quarter
of 1998 affected semiconductor product areas in varying degrees. However, TI
benefited from its diverse product portfolio as gross profit margins improved
both year-to-year and from the fourth quarter of 1997, excluding special
charges.
TI's orders were $2137 million, down from $2500 million in the first quarter
of 1997. Net revenues for the first quarter of 1998 were $2187 million,
compared with $2263 million in the first quarter of 1997. Revenues in the
first quarter of 1997 included revenues from TI businesses that have since
been sold, primarily software. Excluding sold businesses, TI's revenues were
down 1 percent from a year ago.
Results for first quarter include special charges of $244 million, primarily
for discontinuing the DRAM manufacturing joint venture with Hitachi, Ltd. As
previously announced, TI purchased the operating assets of the joint venture.
Last year's first quarter results included a special charge of $56 million,
primarily related to severance actions and other costs associated with the
sale of TI's mobile computing business.
Excluding the special charges: Profit from operations (PFO) for the quarter
was $222 million, about flat with $227 million in the year-ago quarter. TI's
operating margin was up slightly to 10.2 percent, versus 10.0 percent in the
year-ago quarter. Income for the quarter was $176 million, up from the $138
million in the first quarter of 1997, primarily because of improved net
interest. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.44, compared with $0.35 in
the first quarter of 1997.
Including the effect of the special charges, the loss from operations for the
quarter was $22 million, compared with a profit from operations of $171
million a year ago. Income was $11 million, compared with $102 million; EPS
was $0.03, compared with $0.26.
Over the quarter, TI announced a number of strategic actions and developments
to further its leadership in digital signal processing solutions.
Acquisitions during the quarter included Spectron Microsystems, which brings
TI additional expertise in DSP software tools, and Oasix and Arisix
corporations, which provide integrated design for hard disk drive products.
6
New product developments in the quarter included three ADSL chipsets that use
digital signal processors to speed Internet access. Most recently, TI
announced a new DSP architecture that combines digital signal processing with
microcontroller functions, primarily targeting mass storage applications such
as hard disk drives and digital video disks. The ramp-up of TI's 'C6x DSP
chip continues to meet strong market acceptance, with a design-in rate five
times faster than any previous generation of TI DSP.
In addition to the joint venture with Hitachi referenced earlier, TI also
announced a definitive agreement for the Acer Group to purchase TI's shares in
the TI-Acer semiconductor memory chip joint venture, located in Taiwan. The
TI-Acer transaction is expected to close in the second quarter and TI expects
to recover its original investment. TI and other joint-venture shareholders
continue to explore further measures with respect to the joint-venture
structures.
OUTLOOK
TI now believes the world semiconductor market is likely to grow 5 percent or
less in 1998, in view of ongoing inventory reductions by electronic end-
equipment manufacturers, sharply lower DRAM prices, weakness in Asia and
depreciation of the yen. As a result, TI expects to see continued pressure on
its semiconductor revenues and margins in the second quarter of 1998.
While the semiconductor market in the near term will continue to be affected
by pressure on DRAM prices and weakness in Asia, end-equipment demand in the
U.S. is relatively healthy and Europe remains strong. These strengths,
combined with possible stabilization in the Asia Pacific region, could set the
stage for stronger semiconductor growth in 1999 and beyond.
In the market sectors most important to TI, the company expects about 30
percent growth in DSP and about 20 percent in mixed-signal for 1998, fueled by
wireless and networking applications. Over the next few years, these end-
equipment markets are expected to grow in excess of 20 percent annually.
Based on the projected strong growth of end-equipment markets and the major
role that communications will play in such growth, TI remains positive about
the longer-term prospects of the semiconductor industry.
TI will continue to take actions to align costs with demand. The company now
plans to hold capital spending for 1998 at $1.2 billion, essentially flat with
1997.
FIRST QUARTER 1998 SEGMENT REVIEW
NOTE: UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE, THE FINANCIAL RESULTS IN THIS REPORT ARE FROM
CONTINUING OPERATIONS AND EXCLUDE SPECIAL CHARGES DETAILED EARLIER IN THIS
REPORT.
SEMICONDUCTOR
Semiconductor orders declined by 17 percent in the first quarter versus the
year-ago quarter primarily due to weakness in memory, and declined by 3
percent from the fourth quarter of 1997, with about half the decline due to
memory and the balance from softness in modem and hard disk drive orders.
7
Semiconductor revenues were down 3 percent from the first quarter of 1997.
From the fourth quarter, revenues were down 12 percent, with about half of the
decrease related to weakness in memory and most of the balance reflecting
customer inventory corrections in electronic end equipment. Excluding memory,
semiconductor revenues were up 7 percent from a year ago, primarily because of
an increase in digital signal processing solutions.
Profit from operations for the quarter was $229 million, down 18 percent from
the year-ago quarter, primarily because of lower DRAM prices. Compared with
the fourth quarter of 1997, profit from operations declined by $125 million,
with about $50 million related to the weakness in memory, and most of the
balance from lower revenues in other semiconductor areas, primarily due to
softness in demand from OEMs. Operating margins were down from the year-ago
quarter by about 2 percentage points, primarily because of lower DRAM prices.
Orders for digital signal processing solutions were up from both the year-ago
quarter and the fourth quarter, driven by wireless. Revenues for DSPS were up
18 percent from a year ago, though down 8 percent from the fourth quarter,
primarily due to softness in demand from OEMs. DSPS accounted for almost 50
percent of semiconductor revenues in the quarter.
Memory continued to be affected by declining DRAM prices, which caused revenue
to decline by $157 million from the year-ago quarter. From the fourth
quarter, revenues declined by $126 million, with about one-third of the
decrease due to price declines and the balance due to lower shipments. As a
result, memory revenues were 12 percent of total semiconductor revenues.
MATERIALS & CONTROLS
TI's Materials & Controls (M&C) business reported first quarter results of
$242 million in revenues, up 4 percent from the first quarter of 1997.
Progress from continued emphasis on the "best cost producer" strategy was seen
in profit from operations of $36 million, up 40 percent from a year ago.
Operating margins were 14.8 percent in the first quarter, a gain of 3.7
percentage points from the year-ago quarter.
M&C's automotive sensor market continues to participate in high growth
segments, particularly in Europe where the growth of air-conditioning and
automatic transmissions is accelerating for local markets. TIRIS (TM) also
continued to broaden its served markets in automatic customer recognition
systems, with pilot programs with Shell International in Europe and the next
phase of U.S. market fanout of the Mobil Speedpass (TM) program.
EDUCATIONAL & PRODUCTIVITY SOLUTIONS
Revenues and orders were up for the Educational & Productivity Solutions
(E&PS) business from a year ago, primarily because of increased shipments of
graphing calculators. Revenues increased to $76 million, compared to $69
million in the year-ago quarter, while profit from operations remained flat at
$1 million, reflecting seasonal patterns.
The E&PS business continues to make advances in its calculator line. During
the quarter, the business introduced the TI-73, an electronically upgradable
8
calculator designed for middle grades, and the TI-89, a powerful calculator
for advanced mathematics for high school and college students. Response among
educators has been enthusiastic.
DIGITAL IMAGING
Shipments increased in TI's digital imaging business to set an all-time high.
The increase in revenues helped to reduce the loss in this emerging business.
ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The income tax rate for the first quarter of 1998 was 34 percent, which is the
estimated rate for the full year.
During the first quarter of 1998, cash and cash equivalents plus short-term
investments decreased by $654 million to $2366 million. The discontinuance of
the joint venture with Hitachi and the acquisition of those operating assets
required $281 million of cash, and $91 million of cash was used to purchase
the remaining outstanding shares of Amati Communications Corporation's common
stock.
First quarter 1998 cash flow from operating activities, net of additions to
property, plant, and equipment, was negative $429 million; and first quarter
capital expenditures totaled $384 million, compared to $225 million in the
first quarter of 1997.
At the end of the first quarter, the debt-to-total-capital ratio was .18, down
from the year-end value of .19.
Depreciation for the first quarter of 1998 was $275 million, compared to $246
million in the year-ago period. Depreciation for 1998 is projected at $1.2
billion.

Meetings of Stockholders
Section 1. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation shall be held on the third Thursday in April in each year or
on such other date as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors,
at such hour as may be specified in the notice thereof, for the purpose of
electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
properly be brought before such meeting. If any annual meeting shall not be
held on the day designated or as provided herein, the Board of Directors shall
cause the meeting of the stockholders to be held as soon thereafter as
1
convenient for the election of such directors. A failure to hold the annual
meeting of the stockholders at the designated time or to elect a sufficient
number of directors to conduct the business of the Corporation shall not affect
otherwise valid corporate acts and shall not work any forfeiture or dissolution
of the Corporation.
Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders,
for any purpose or purposes, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the
Board, President or the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the Chairman
of the Board, President or the Secretary at the request in writing of a
majority of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by law or in
the Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereto.
Section 3. Place of Meeting. All meetings of the stockholders for
the election of directors shall be held in the City of Dallas, State of Texas,
at such place within such City as may be fixed from time to time by the Board
of Directors, or at such other place either within or without the State of
Delaware as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and
stated in the notice of the meeting. All other meetings of the stockholders
shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as may
from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors or as shall be specified
or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.
Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise expressly
required by law or by these By-Laws, notice of each meeting of the
stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10)
nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each
stockholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting by
2
delivering a written or printed notice thereof to him personally or by
depositing such notice in the United States mail postage prepaid, directed to
the stockholder at his address as it appears upon the records of the
Corporation. Every such notice shall state the place, date and hour of the
meeting and, if the meeting be special, briefly, the purpose or purposes
thereof. Except when expressly required by law, no publication of any notice
of a meeting of the stockholders shall be required; and except when expressly
required by law, no notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the
Corporation need be given.
Section 5. Quorum. At all meetings of the stockholders (except
where otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by
these By-Laws) stockholders holding of record a majority of the shares of stock
of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present
in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, in the absence of a
quorum at any such meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, a
majority in voting interest of those present in person or by proxy and voting
thereon may adjourn such meeting from time to time, until a quorum shall be
present, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, except that if
the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment
a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting. At
any adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
called. The absence from any meeting of stockholders holding the number of
3
shares of stock of the Corporation having voting powers required by the laws of
the State of Delaware or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-
Laws for action upon any given matter shall not prevent action at such meeting
upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if
there shall be present thereat in person or by proxy stockholders entitled to
vote thereat holding the number of shares of stock of the Corporation having
voting power required in respect of such other matter or matters.
Section 6. Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law or
by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, each stockholder of
the Corporation shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one
vote in person or by proxy for each share of the stock of the Corporation
having voting powers held by him and registered in his name on the books of the
Corporation on the date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of
Article IX of these By-Laws as the record date for the determination of
stockholders who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting.
Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation, or to another corporation
if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of
such other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall not be voted nor
counted for quorum purposes. At all meetings of the stockholders all matters
except those the manner of deciding upon which shall otherwise be expressly
regulated by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws,
shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the
stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, a
quorum being present. The vote for directors, and upon the demand of any
stockholder, the vote upon any question before the meeting shall be by written
ballot.
4

Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who shall have charge of its
stock ledger, either directly or through a transfer agent or transfer clerk
appointed by the Board of Directors, to prepare and make, at least ten (10)
days before every meeting of the stockholders a complete alphabetically
arranged list of the stockholders showing the address of each stockholder and
the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list
shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to
the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10)
days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting
is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or,
if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list
shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the
whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders
entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section or the
books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of
stockholders.
Section 8. Inspectors. Prior to each meeting of the stockholders,
two Inspectors shall be appointed by the Board of Directors, or, if no such
appointment shall have been made, such Inspectors shall be appointed by the
Chairman of the meeting, to act thereat. Each Inspector so appointed shall
first subscribe an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute the duties of an
inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of
his ability.
5
Such Inspectors shall take charge of the ballots at such meeting and
after the balloting thereat on any question shall count the ballots cast
thereon and shall make a report in writing to the secretary of such meeting of
the results thereof. The Inspectors need not be stockholders of the
Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an Inspector on any
question other than a vote for or against his election to any position with the
Corporation or on any other question in which he may be directly interested
other than as a stockholder.
Section 9. Nomination of Directors; Notice of Stockholder Nominees.
Except as provided in Section 6 of Article III of these By-Laws, only persons
who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible
for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors of the Company may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders
(a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder
of the Company entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting
who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9 of Article
II. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the
Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Company not less than 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of
the annual meeting is advanced by more than twenty days, or delayed by more
than seventy days, from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be
timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later
6
of the seventieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following
the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
Such stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each
person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as
a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the
person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the
class and number of shares of stock of the Company which are beneficially owned
by the person, (iv) the person's written consent to serve as a director if
elected, and (v) any other information relating to the person that would be
required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and
address of the stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the nomination is made, (ii) the class and number of shares of stock of the
Company which are beneficially owned by the stockholder and such beneficial
owner, and (iii) whether the proponent intends or is part of a group which
intends to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of such
nomination. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other
information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the
eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company.
The Chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9 of Article II, and the
defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Section 10. Business at Annual Meeting; Notice of Stockholder
Business. To be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders,
7
business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or
(b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors or by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable
requirements, for business to be properly brought before the meeting by a
stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing
to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Company not less than 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of
the annual meeting is advanced by more than twenty days, or delayed by more
than seventy days, from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be
timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later
of the seventieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following
the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the
stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting (i) a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reason for conducting
such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and address of the stockholder and
the beneficial owner, if any, proposing such business, (iii) the class and
number of shares of stock of the Company which are beneficially owned by the
stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iv) any material interest in such
business of the stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the proposal is made, and (v) whether the proponent intends or is part of a
group which intends to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of
such proposal.
8
Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section 10 of Article II; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 10 of Article II shall be deemed to
preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before
the meeting.
The Chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought
before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10 of
Article II, and any such business shall not be transacted.

of Directors or a standing committee thereof cannot readily be convened for
action, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) Emergency Management Committee. If a quorum of one or more
committees created pursuant to Article IV of these By-Laws cannot readily be
convened for action within their respective jurisdictions and a quorum of the
Board of Directors cannot readily be convened to act, then all the powers and
duties vested in the committee or committees or the Board of Directors so
lacking a quorum shall vest, automatically, in the Emergency Management
Committee, which shall consist of all readily available members of the Board of
Directors. Two members shall constitute a quorum unless there is only one, in
which case one shall constitute a quorum. Other provisions of these By-Laws
notwithstanding, the Emergency Management Committee (1) shall call a meeting of
the Board of Directors as soon as circumstances permit for the purpose of
filling vacancies on the Board of Directors and its Committees and to take such
other action as may be appropriate and (2) if the Emergency Management
11

in the office or offices (in the following order) of (1) Executive Vice
President, (2) Group Vice President, (3) Senior Vice President, (4) Vice
President, and (5) Assistant Vice President, shall be deemed directors for any
meeting of the Board of Directors until the termination of the emergency, or
until a meeting of the stockholders can conveniently and safely be convened,
whichever shall first occur. If two or more persons shall have been elected to
the same office on the same day the person or persons to be deemed a director
or directors shall be the person or persons with the longest continuous period
of service uninterrupted by leave of absence with the Corporation.
(c) The Board of Directors, either before or during any such
emergency, may provide, and from time to time modify, lines of succession in
the event that during such emergency any or all officers or agents of the
Corporation shall for any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their
duties.
Section 8. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may hold its
meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as the
Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine, or as shall
be specified or fixed in these By-Laws, or in the respective notices or waivers
of notice thereof.
12
Section 9. Annual Meetings. After each annual election of directors
the Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, the election
of officers of the Corporation and the transaction of other business, as soon
thereafter as practicable, at the place where the meeting of stockholders for
the election of directors was held. Notice of such meeting or of any
adjournment thereof need not be given. Such meeting may be held at any other
time or place which shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter
provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors or in a waiver of
notice thereof in accordance with these By-Laws.
Section 10. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held at such times as the Board of Directors shall, from
time to time, by resolution, determine. If no other place be fixed by
resolution for such regular meetings they shall be held at the general office
of the Corporation in the City of Dallas, State of Texas. Except as otherwise
provided by law or by these By-Laws, notices of regular meetings need not be
given. The time and place of any regular meeting may be changed on three days'
notice to each director, as in the manner provided for notice of special
meetings of the Board of Directors, from the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.
Section 11. Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the Board
of Directors, for any purpose or purposes, shall be held whenever called by the
Chairman of the Board or the President. A special meeting shall be called by
the Chairman of the Board, President or Secretary upon the written request of
four directors, or such lesser number constituting one-half of the total number
13
of directors at the time in office. A notice shall be given as hereinafter in
this Section provided of each such special meeting, in which shall be stated
the time and place of such meeting, but except as otherwise expressly provided
by law or by these By-Laws, the purposes thereof need not be stated in such
notice. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each such meeting shall
be mailed to each director, addressed to him at his residence or usual place of
business, at least three days before the day on which such meeting is to be
held, or shall be sent addressed to him at such place by telegraph, cable or
wireless or be delivered personally or by telephone not later than the day
before the day on which such meeting is to be held. Notice of any meeting of
the Board need not, however, be given to any director, if waived by him at any
time, whether before or after the meeting, in writing or by telegraph, cable or
wireless, or if he shall be present at such meeting; and any special meeting of
the Board shall be a legal meeting without any notice thereof having been given
if all the directors of the Corporation then in office shall be present
thereat.
Section 12. Quorum and Manner of Acting. At all meetings of the
Board of Directors, one-third of the total number of directors shall constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business; and, except as otherwise specified in
Section 1 of Article IV, Section 4 of Article V, and Article XIV of these By-
Laws, and except as may otherwise be expressly provided by law or by the
Certificate of Incorporation, the act of a majority of the directors present
shall be the act of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors
may participate in any meeting of such Board by means of conference telephone
or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating
14
in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in the meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at
any meeting, it may be adjourned, from time to time, until a quorum shall be
present thereat. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given. The
directors shall act only as a Board and the individual directors shall have no
power as such.
Section 13. Compensation. The Board of Directors may at any time
and from time to time by resolution provide that a specified sum shall be paid
to any director of the Corporation or to any director member of any Committee
who shall not otherwise be in the employ of the Corporation or of any
subsidiary of the Corporation, either as his annual compensation as such
director, member of such committee or as compensation for his attendance at any
annual, regular, or special meeting of the Board or of such committee or other
activities as a director; and the Board of Directors may also likewise provide
that the Corporation shall reimburse each such director or member of such
committee for any expenses paid by him on account of his attendance at any such
meeting or his engaging in other activities as a director. Unless otherwise
expressly provided by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, none of the
directors and none of the members of any committee of directors of the
Corporation contemplated by these By-Laws or otherwise provided for by
resolution of the Board of Directors shall, as such, receive any stated
compensation for his services. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor.
15
ARTICLE IV
Committees of Directors
Section 1. Appointment of Committees. The Board of Directors may,
by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more
"Board Committees," each Committee to consist of one or more of the directors
of the Corporation which, to the extent provided in the resolution or in the
By-Laws of the Corporation, shall have and may exercise, as authorized by the
Board, the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business
and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation
to be affixed to all papers which may require it. The Board of Directors may
designate one or more directors as an alternative member of any committee, who
may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the Committee.
Such Board Committee or Committees shall serve during the pleasure of the Board
of Directors, and shall have such name or names as may be stated in the By-Laws
of the Corporation or as may be determined from time to time by resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors.
In addition, the Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more "Board
Appointed Committees" consisting of one or more of the directors of the
Corporation and such other members as it may designate to have such powers and
duties as the Board of Directors may determine. No additional compensation
shall be paid to such other members who are company executives in connection
with their attendance at meetings of Board Appointed Committees. The term and
names of such Board Appointed Committees shall be determined from time to time
by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.
16
Section 2. Procedure. A majority of all the members of any
committee appointed pursuant to this Article IV may fix its rules of procedure,
determine its action, and fix the time and place, within or without the State
of Delaware, of its meetings, and specify what notice thereof, if any, shall be
given, unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise by resolution provide.
Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise by resolution provide, the
members of any committee appointed pursuant to this Article IV may participate
in any meeting of such committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and such participation in the meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting. The Board of Directors shall
have power at any time to change the members of any such committee, to fill
vacancies therein, and to discharge any such committee, either with or without
cause.
Section 3. Minutes of Committee Proceedings. The Board Committees

Section 1. Limitation of Liability. No person shall be liable to
the Corporation for any loss or damage suffered by it on account of any action
taken or omitted to be taken in good faith as a director, member of a
directors' committee or officer of the Corporation, if such person exercised or
used the same degree of care and skill as a prudent man would have exercised or
used under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Without
limitation on the foregoing, any such person shall be deemed to have exercised
or used such degree of care and skill if he took or omitted to take such action
in reliance in good faith upon advice of counsel for the Corporation, or the
books of account or other records of the Corporation, or reports or information
made or furnished to the Corporation by any officials, accountants,
engineers, agents or employees of the Corporation, or by an independent
certified public accountant or auditor, engineer, appraiser or other expert
employed by the Corporation and selected with reasonable care by the Board of
24
Directors, by any such committee or by an authorized officer of the
Corporation.
Section 2. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. The
Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the full extent permitted by
the laws of the State of Delaware, any former or present director, officer or
employee of the Corporation or of any subsidiary of the Corporation (or the
estate of any such person) who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be
made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation, and whether
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation, or is or was serving any other enterprise at the request of the
Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized in advance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The
Corporation may, to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Delaware, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against
any liability which may be asserted against him. To the full extent permitted
by the laws of the State of Delaware, the indemnification provided herein shall
include expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement. In the manner provided by law, any such expenses may be, and
any such expenses incurred by any former or present director or officer of the
Corporation shall be, paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification provided
25
herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to indemnify
any other person for any such expenses to the full extent permitted by law, nor
shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking
indemnification from the Corporation may be entitled under any agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in
his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 2 of Article VI shall apply
or be effective to limit or reduce the indemnification rights provided under
this Section 2 of Article VI with respect to any acts or omissions occurring
prior to such amendment or repeal.
ARTICLE VII

Books and Records, etc.
Section 1. Execution of Contracts. The Board of Directors may
authorize any officer or officers or agent or agents of the Corporation to
enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name and
on behalf of the Corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to

officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the
Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render
it liable pecuniarily for any purpose or to any amount.
Section 2. Loans. No loan shall be contracted on behalf of the
Corporation, and no negotiable paper shall be issued in its name, unless
authorized (i) by the Board of Directors, or (ii) by a Committee of the Board

such authorizations. When so authorized any officer or agent of the
Corporation may effect loans and advances at any time for the Corporation from
any bank, trust company or other institution, or from any firm, corporation or
individual, and for such loans and advances may make, execute and deliver
promissory notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation, and,

deposit to its credit) by such officer or officers, employee or employees or
agent or agents of the Corporation and in such manner as shall from time to
time be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Each of such

Board of Directors may select or as may be selected by any officer or officers
or agent or agents of the Corporation to whom power in that respect shall have
27
been delegated by the Board of Directors. For the purpose of deposit and for
the purpose of collection for the account of the Corporation, checks, drafts
and other orders for the payment of money which are payable to the order of the
Corporation may be endorsed, assigned and delivered by any officer or agent of
the Corporation to whom such power is so delegated.

Directors may from time to time authorize the opening and keeping of general
and special bank accounts with one or more of such banks, trust companies or
other depositaries as the Board of Directors may select or as may be selected
by any officer or officers, agent or agents of the Corporation to whom power in
that respect shall have been delegated by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors may make such special rules and regulations with respect to such bank
accounts, not inconsistent with the provisions of these By-Laws, as it may deem
expedient.

Corporations. Unless otherwise provided by resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Executive Vice
President, any Group Vice President, any Senior Vice President, any Vice
President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of the Corporation, or any one or

vote and consent, which the Corporation may have as the holder of stock or
other securities in any other corporation, and from time to time to appoint an
attorney or attorneys or an agent or agents, or proxy or proxies with like
power and authority in respect of such stock or other securities, and may
28
instruct the person or persons so appointed as to the manner of exercising such
powers and rights, and may execute or cause to be executed in the name and on
behalf of the Corporation and under its corporate seal, or otherwise, all such
written proxies or other instruments as he or they may deem necessary or proper
in order that the Corporation may exercise its said powers and rights. The
Board of Directors from time to time may by resolution confer like powers and
authority upon any other person or persons.
ARTICLE VIII

The books and records of the Corporation may be kept outside of the
State of Delaware, at the general office of the Corporation in Dallas, Texas,
or at such other place or places as may be from time to time designated or

ARTICLE IX
Shares and Their Transfer;
Examination of Books
Section 1. Certificates for Stock. Every owner of stock of the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate in such form not
inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation as the Board of Directors
shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of shares of stock of the
Corporation owned by him. The certificates representing shares of the
respective classes of such stock (if there be more than one) shall state the
name of the person owning the shares represented thereby, shall be numbered in
29
the order in which they shall be issued, and shall be signed in the name of the
Corporation by the Chairman of the Board or the President or an Executive Vice
President or a Group Vice President or a Senior Vice President or a Vice
President or by the Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Treasurer or an
Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and its seal shall be affixed thereto;
provided, however, that where such certificate is countersigned by (1) a
transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee, or (2) a registrar
other than the Corporation or its employee, if the Board of Directors shall by
resolution so authorize, any of the signatures of the foregoing officers of the
Corporation and the seal of the Corporation may be facsimile. In case any
officer of the Corporation, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or
whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased
to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is
issued, such certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
The name of the person owning the shares represented by each certificate, the
number of shares, and the date of issue shall be entered on the stock ledger of
the Corporation. Every certificate surrendered to the corporation for exchange
or transfer shall be cancelled and a new certificate or certificates shall not
be issued in exchange for any existing certificate, until such existing
certificate shall have been so cancelled, except in cases provided for in
Section 4 of Article IX.
Section 2. Transfers of Stock. Transfers of shares of stock of the
Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the
registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of
30
attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, or with
a transfer clerk or a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 3 of
Article IX, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares
properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes thereon. The person in whose
name shares of stock are registered on the books of the Corporation shall be
deemed and treated as the owner thereof for all purposes; and the Corporation
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in
such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall
have express or other notice thereof, save as expressly provided by the laws of
the State of Delaware.
Section 3. Regulations. The Board of Directors may make such rules
and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these By-Laws,
concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of
the stock of the Corporation. It may appoint one or more transfer clerks or
one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all
certificates of stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.
Section 4. Lost, Destroyed, Stolen, and Mutilated Certificates. The
holder of any stock of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation
of any loss, destruction, theft, or mutilation of the certificate therefor, and
the Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any
certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, destroyed,
stolen, or mutilated, upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate, or in
the case of loss, destruction, or theft of the certificate, upon satisfactory
proof of such loss, destruction, or theft. The Board of Directors may, in its
discretion, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate,
31
require the owner of the lost, destroyed, or stolen certificate or his legal
representatives to give the Corporation a bond in such sum, limited or
unlimited, and in such form and with such surety or sureties, as the Board
shall in its uncontrolled discretion determine, to indemnify the Corporation
against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss,
destruction, or theft of any such certificate, or the issuance of such new
certificates.
Section 5. Fixing Record Date. In order that the Corporation may
determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to
exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock
or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix,
in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten
days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any
other action.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to
vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the
meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record
date for the adjourned meeting.
ARTICLE X
Seal
The corporate seal of the Corporation shall be in the form of a
circle and shall bear the full name of the Corporation, the state and year of
32
incorporation, and the words "Corporate Seal." Said seal may be used by
causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed, affixed or otherwise
reproduced. The seal shall be retained by the Secretary. A duplicate of the
seal may be kept and used by the Treasurer, by an Assistant Secretary or
Assistant Treasurer, or by any other employee authorized by resolution of the
Board of Directors.
ARTICLE XI
Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin on the first day of
January and end on the thirty-first day of December in each year.
ARTICLE XII
Notices and Waivers Thereof
Whenever under the provisions of the law of the State of Delaware, of
the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws notice of any nature is
required to be given to any director, officer or stockholder, unless otherwise
provided by law or expressly provided by these By-Laws, such notice may be
given personally, or it may be given in writing by depositing the same in the
post office or a letter box maintained and kept by the United States Government
in a postpaid sealed envelope addressed to such director, officer or
stockholder at such address as appears upon the books of the Corporation, or,
in default of other address, to such director, officer or stockholder at the
general post office in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, and such notice shall
be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be thus mailed; a waiver
33
of such notice in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such
notice, or a telegram, cable or wireless sent by such person, whether before or
after the time stated therein shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance
of a person at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of
any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither
the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special
meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
ARTICLE XIII
Annual Financial Statement
The Board of Directors shall cause to be published and submitted to
the stockholders, at least fifteen days in advance of their annual meeting, the
Corporation's annual financial statement covering the previous fiscal year, and
containing such other information and data as the Board of Directors may deem
appropriate.
ARTICLE XIV
Amendments
These By-Laws, as they shall be at any time and whether or not
previously altered, amended or added to, may be made, altered, amended or
repealed from time to time by the Board of Directors by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the authorized number of directors at any regular or special
meeting of directors if notice of the proposed change was contained in the
34
notice of such meeting. The stockholders also, by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote may from time
to time make, alter, amend or repeal the By-Laws at any regular or special
meeting if notice of the proposed change was contained in the notice of the
meeting; and any addition, alteration, amendment or repeal effected by the
Board of Directors may be altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders in
the manner hereinabove set forth.

EXHIBIT 10(e)
-------------
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT PLAN
FOR DIRECTORS
As Amended April 16, 1998
The Texas Instruments Restricted Stock Unit Plan for Directors is designed to
enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain exceptionally
qualified individuals and to encourage them to acquire a proprietary interest
in the growth and performance of the Company.
For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise indicated, the term "Company"
shall mean Texas Instruments Incorporated.
Eligibility
All directors of the Company who are not during the term of this Plan and who
have not previously been officers or employees of the Company shall participate
in this Plan.
Definitions
As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth:
(a) "Fair Market Value" shall mean, with respect to any Shares, the simple
average of the high and low prices of such Shares on the date of grant
of Restricted Stock Units (or, if there is no trading on the New York
Stock Exchange on such date, then on the first previous date on which
there is such trading) as reported in "New York Stock Exchange
Composite Transactions" in "The Wall Street Journal";
(b) "Restricted Stock Units" shall mean any Units granted under
paragraphs (a) or (b) under the heading "Grants of Restricted Stock
Units" set forth below; and
(c) "Shares" shall mean shares of the common stock of the Company, $1.00
par value.
Administration of Plan
This Plan shall be administered by the Secretary of the Company (the
"Secretary"). The Secretary shall have full power and authority to construe,
interpret and administer the Plan. The Secretary may issue rules and
regulations for administration of the Plan. All decisions of the Secretary
shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties, including the Company,
the stockholders and the directors. In the event of the absence or inability
of the Corporate Secretary, any Assistant Secretary shall have the authority to
act in his place.
1
Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Secretary shall have
full power and authority to: (i) interpret and administer the Plan and any
instrument or agreement relating to, or Restricted Stock Units granted under,
the Plan; (ii) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations
and appoint such agents as the Secretary shall deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Plan; and (iii) make any other determination and take any
other action that the Secretary deems necessary or desirable for the
administration of this Plan.
Restricted Stock Units Available for Grant
Subject to adjustment as provided below:
(a) Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Restricted Stock Units. Any Shares
delivered pursuant to the settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall consist of
treasury Shares.
(b) Adjustments. In the event that the Secretary shall determine that any
dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance
of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the
Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares
such that an adjustment is determined by the Secretary to be appropriate in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Secretary shall, in such
manner as he or she may deem equitable, adjust the number of outstanding
Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that no fractional Restricted Stock
Units shall be issued or outstanding hereunder. Notwithstanding any such
corporate transaction or event, no adjustment shall be made in the number of
Restricted Stock Units to be granted to new directors who are elected after the
occurrence of any such corporate transaction or event.
Grants of Restricted Stock Units
(a) Initial Grants of Restricted Stock Units. The Company, as of the
effective date of this Plan, shall grant to each then current director
of the Company 1000 Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit
shall be paid or settled by the issuance of one Share upon the
termination of such recipient's service as a director of the Company,
provided that such termination of service shall have occurred (i) after
the age at which a director is ineligible under the Company's by-laws
to stand for reelection to the Board, (ii) after the completion of at
least eight years of service as a director of the Company or (iii) as a
result of the death or disability of the director. In the event such
recipient's membership on the Board of Directors of the Company shall
terminate prior to the attainment of the age for ineligibility for
reelection and prior to the completion of eight years of service as a
director for reasons other than death or disability, such Restricted
Stock Units shall terminate and all of the rights, title and interest
of the recipient thereunder shall be forfeited in their entirety.
Following the effective date of this Plan, each new director shall,
effective as of the date of such individual's initial election or
2
appointment to the Board of Directors, be granted 2000 Restricted
Stock Units which shall be subject to the same terms and restrictions
as are described in this paragraph (a). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall Shares be issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit
granted under this paragraph (a) if a director's service on the board
shall terminate within less than six months after the date of grant for
any reason other than death or disability.
(b) Grants of Restricted Stock Units for Portion of Annual Retainer. As of
the date of the annual meeting of stockholders each year following the
effective date of this Plan, fifty percent (50%) of the annual retainer
(not including retainers for committee membership or committee chair)
payable to each director during the twelve-month period beginning May 1
of such year and ending April 30 of the following year shall be paid to
the director in the form of Restricted Stock Units. Also, fifty
percent (50%) of each director's annual retainer for the period
beginning May 1, 1995 and ending April 30, 1996 remaining payable after
June 30 shall be paid to the director in the form of Restricted Stock
Units, which shall be granted as of the effective date of this Plan.
The number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted under this paragraph
(b) in each case shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of
annual retainer to be paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of the Shares and shall be rounded up to the
next whole Restricted Stock Unit in the event such determination
results in a fraction of a Restricted Stock Unit. Each such Restricted
Stock Unit shall provide for the issuance of one Share upon the
termination of the recipient's membership on the Board of Directors.
In the event a director's service on the Board shall terminate for any
reason during a year, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted for
such year shall be reduced proportionately, and the excess shall be
forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (b) shall no
longer be applicable after April 15, 1998.
(c) Right to Dividend Equivalents. Each recipient of Restricted Stock
Units under this Plan shall have the right, during the period when such
Restricted Stock Units are outstanding and prior to the termination,
forfeiture or payment or settlement thereof, to receive dividend
equivalents equal to the amount or value of any cash or other
distributions or dividends payable on the same number of Shares. The
Company shall accumulate dividend equivalents on each dividend payment
date and pay such accumulated amounts without interest annually.
(d) Issuance of Shares Upon Lapse of Restrictions. A stock certificate or
certificates shall be registered and issued in the name of the holder
of Restricted Stock Units and delivered to such holder as soon as
practicable after such Restricted Stock Units have become payable or
settleable in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
(e) Limits on Transfer of Restricted Stock Units. No Restricted Stock
Units and no right under any Restricted Stock Units shall be
assignable, alienable, salable or transferable by a participant
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All
rights under any Restricted Stock Unit shall be exercisable during the
participant's lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under
applicable law, by the participant's guardian or legal representative.
3
No Restricted Stock Unit and no right under any such Restricted Stock
Unit may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and
any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof
shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.
(f) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares delivered under the
Plan pursuant to any Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such
stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Secretary may deem
advisable under the Plan and the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock
exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed,
and any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Secretary
may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to
make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
Amendment and Termination
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless expressly provided
in this Plan:
(a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company may
amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, without the
consent of any stockholder, participant, other holder or beneficiary of
Restricted Stock Units, or other person; provided, however, that, no
such action shall impair the rights under any Restricted Stock Units
theretofore granted under the Plan.
(b) Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Secretary
may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or any Restricted Stock Units in the manner
and to the extent he or she shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into
effect.
General Provisions
(a) Withholding. The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any
Restricted Stock Units granted or any transfer made under any
Restricted Stock Units or under the Plan or from any dividend
equivalents to be paid on Restricted Stock Units the amount (in cash,
Shares, other securities, or other property) of any taxes required to
be withheld in respect of a grant, payment or settlement of Restricted
Stock Units or any payment of dividend equivalents under such
Restricted Stock Units or under the Plan and to take such other action
as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all
obligations for the payment of any such taxes.
(b) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the
Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect
other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements
may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.
(c) No Right to Continued Board Membership. The grant of Restricted Stock
Units shall not be construed as giving a participant the right to be
retained as a director of the Company. The Board of Directors may at
4
any time fail or refuse to nominate a participant for election to the
Board, and the stockholders of the Company may at any election fail or
refuse to elect any participant to the Board free from any liability or
claim under this Plan or any Restricted Stock Units.
(d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable
Federal law.
(e) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Restricted Stock
Unit is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or any
Restricted Stock Unit, or would disqualify the Plan or any Restricted
Stock Unit under any law deemed applicable by the Secretary, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the
determination of the Secretary, materially altering the intent of the
Plan or the Restricted Stock Unit, such provision shall be stricken as
to such jurisdiction, person or Restricted Stock Unit, and the
remainder of the Plan and any such Restricted Stock Unit shall remain
in full force and effect.
(f) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Restricted Stock
Units shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund
of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a
participant or any other person. To the extent that any person
acquires a right to receive Restricted Stock Units, or Shares pursuant
to Restricted Stock Units, from the Company pursuant to this Plan, such
right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Company.
(g) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan.
Effective Date of the Plan
The Plan shall be effective as of June 15, 1995.
Term of the Plan
No Restricted Stock Units shall be granted under the Plan after April 18, 2006.
However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in the restrictions
applying to Restricted Stock Units previously issued, any Restricted Stock
Units theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the
Secretary to interpret, construe, administer and make determinations under this
Plan, and the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to amend the
Plan, shall extend beyond such date.

such election shall for all purposes be deemed to have been established under
this Plan.
3
Section 8. Form and Time of Distributions.
Distributions of amounts credited to each Director's Cash Account shall be
made in cash. Distribution of units credited to each director's Stock Unit
Account shall be made by issuing to such Director an equivalent number of
shares of TI common stock; provided, however, that no fractional shares will
be issued and any fractional unit will be distributed by payment of cash in
the amount represented by such fractional unit based on the Fair Market Value
on the date preceding the date of payment. Any shares of TI common stock
distributed under the Plan shall consist of treasury shares. Except as
otherwise hereinafter provided, distributions shall be made (a) on the first
day of the month following such Director's termination of service on the Board
for any reason other than death, or (b) at such later time as the Director has
elected in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an earlier distribution may be made, at the discretion of the
Secretary, upon a finding that a Director is suffering a significant financial
hardship caused by a recent event or events not within such Director's
control; provided, however, that in such event, the cash or shares distributed
shall be limited to those amounts necessary to accommodate the financial
hardship, as determined by the Secretary.

to receipt by such Director of the full amount of cash and number of shares to
be distributed to the Director, all such cash and/or shares will be
distributed to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Director, or
if no beneficiary has been designated, to the Director's estate as soon as
practicable following the month in which the death occurred.
Section 10. Accounts Unsecured.
Until distributed, all amounts credited to any Cash Accounts or represented by
units credited to any Stock Unit Account shall be property of TI, available
for TI's use, and subject to the claims of TI's general creditors. The rights
of any Director or beneficiary to distributions under this Plan are not
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, or
encumbrance, and shall not be subject to the debts or liabilities of any
Director or beneficiary.
Section 11. Certain Rights Reserved by TI.
TI reserves the right to suspend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time,
and, in such event, shall have the right to distribute to each Director all
amounts in such Director's Cash Account or shares of TI common stock
equivalent to units in such Director's Stock Unit Account, including, in the
case of Stock Unit Accounts, the right to distribute cash equivalent to the
units in such Accounts.
4
Section 12. Certain Affiliations.
In the event that any Director terminates his or her membership on the Board
and becomes affiliated with a government agency or with any private company or
firm that the Board Organization and Nominating Committee believes to be in
competition with TI, the Board may, at its discretion, require a distribution
of all amounts in any Director's Cash Account or shares equivalent to units in
such Director's Stock Unit Account.
Section 13. Administration and Interpretation of Plan.
The Secretary shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and
administer this Plan. The Secretary may issue rules and regulations for
administration of the Plan. All decisions of the Secretary shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties, including the Company, the
stockholders and the directors. In the event of the absence or inability to
act of the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary shall have the authority to act
in his place.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Secretary shall have
full power and authority to: (i) interpret and administer the Plan and any
instrument or agreement relating thereto; (ii) establish, amend, suspend or
waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Secretary
shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and
(iii) make any other determination and take any other action that the
Secretary deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan.

Section 3. Shares Subject to the Plan.
The Shares deliverable upon the exercise of options will be made available
from treasury Shares.
Section 4. Option Grants.
Each individual who is an Eligible Director will be granted an option to
purchase 5,000 Shares as of the date of each regular January meeting of the
Compensation Committee of the Board or any successor committee (the
"Compensation Committee") following the effective date of the Plan or, if no
such January meeting is held, as of the date of the first meeting of the
Compensation Committee during a calendar year. The options granted will be
nonstatutory stock options not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the
1
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and shall have the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Price. The Purchase price per share of Shares deliverable
upon the exercise of each option shall be 100% of the Fair
Market Value per share of the Shares on the date the option
is granted. For purposes of this Plan, Fair Market Value
shall be determined to be equal to the simple average of the
high and low prices of the Shares on the date of grant (or,
if there is no trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
such date, then on the first previous date on which there is
such trading) as reported in "New York Stock Exchange
Composite Transactions" in "The Wall Street Journal,"
rounded upward to the next whole cent if such Fair Market
Value should include a fraction of a cent.
(b) Payment. The Secretary shall determine the method or
methods by which, and the form or forms, including, without
limitation, cash, Shares, or other property, or any
combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the
exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which
payment of the exercise price with respect to an option may
be made or deemed to have been made.
(c) Exercisability and Term of Options. Subject to
Section 4(d), options shall become exercisable in four equal
annual installments commencing on the first anniversary date
of the grant, provided the holder of such option remains an
Eligible Director until such anniversary date, and shall be
exercisable until ten years from the date of grant.
(d) Termination of Service as Eligible Director. The effect of
a Participant's termination of service as a director of the
Company shall be as follows:
(i) Termination for cause: All outstanding options
held by the Participant shall be canceled immediately
upon termination.
(ii) Death: All outstanding options held by the
Participant shall continue to full term, becoming
exercisable in accordance with Section 4(c), and shall
be exercisable by such Participant's heirs.
(iii) Permanent disability: All outstanding options
held by the Participant shall continue to full term,
becoming exercisable in accordance with Section 4(c).
(iv) Termination after 8 years of service: Any
outstanding option held by the Participant for at least
six months after the grant of such option shall
continue to full term, becoming exercisable in
accordance with Section 4(c).
(v) Termination by reason of ineligibility to stand
for reelection under the Company's by-laws: Any
outstanding option held by the Participant for at least
six months after the grant of such option shall
continue to full term, becoming exercisable in
accordance with Section 4(c).
2
(vi) Other: For any termination other than those
specified above, all outstanding options held by the
Participant shall be exercisable for 30 days after the
date of termination, only to the extent that such
options were exercisable on the date of termination,
except as follows:
(A) If the Participant dies within 30 days after
his or her termination, then such Participant's
heirs may exercise the options for a period of up
to one year after the Participant's death, but
only to the extent any unexercised portion was
exercisable on the date of termination.
(B) If the Participant's termination occurs
within 30 days before the effective date of a
Change in Control (as defined in Section 6), then
the Change in Control will be deemed to have
occurred first and the options shall be
exercisable in accordance with Section 4(c).
(e) Non-transferability of Options. No option shall be
transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, and during the Participant's
lifetime may be exercised only by Participant or, if
permissible under applicable law, by the Participant's legal
guardian or representative.
(f) Option Agreement. Each option granted hereunder shall be
evidenced by an agreement with the Company which shall
contain the terms and provisions set forth herein and shall
otherwise be consistent with the provisions of the Plan.
Section 5. Adjustment of and Changes in Shares.
In the event that the Secretary shall determine that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or
other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance
of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the
Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares
such that an adjustment is determined by the Secretary to be appropriate in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Secretary shall, in
such manner as he or she may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (a) the
number and type of Shares subject to outstanding options, and (b) the exercise
price with respect to any option or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for
a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding option; provided, however, that
no fractional Shares shall be issued or outstanding hereunder.
Notwithstanding any such corporate transaction or event, no adjustment shall
be made in the number of Shares subject to options to be granted to new
directors who are elected after the occurrence of any such corporate
transaction or event.
Section 6. Change of Control.
The provisions of Section 4(c) shall not apply and options outstanding
under the Plan shall be exercisable in full if a Change in Control occurs.
Change in Control means an event when (a) any Person, alone or together with
3
its Affiliates and Associates or otherwise, shall become an Acquiring Person
otherwise than pursuant to a transaction or agreement approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company prior to the time the Acquiring Person became such,
or (b) a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company shall change within
any 24-month period unless the election or the nomination for election by the
Company's stockholders of each new director has been approved by a vote of at
least a majority of the directors then still in office who were directors at
the beginning of the period. For the purposes hereof, the terms Person,
Affiliates, Associates and Acquiring Person shall have the meanings given to
such terms in the Rights Agreement dated as of June 17, 1988 between the
Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, successor in interest to First
Chicago Trust Company of New York, (formerly Morgan Shareholder Services Trust
Company), as in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that if the
percentage employed in the definition of Acquiring Person is reduced hereafter
from 20% in such Rights Agreement, then such reduction shall also be
applicable for the purposes hereof.
Section 7. No Rights of Stockholders.
Neither a Participant nor a Participant's legal representative shall be,
or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in
respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any option, in whole or
in part, unless and until certificates for such shares shall have been issued.
Section 8. Plan Amendments.
The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan
without the consent of any stockholder or Participant or other person:
provided, however, that no such action shall impair the rights under any
option theretofore granted under the Plan and that, notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or any option agreement, no such amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made that would permit
options to be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant thereof.
Section 9. Effective Date.
The Plan shall become effective on April 16, 1998. The Plan shall
terminate April 16, 2003 unless the Plan is extended or terminated at an
earlier date.
Section 10. No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or
continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.
Section 11. Governing Law.
The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and
regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware and applicable Federal law.
Section 12. Severability.
If any provision of the Plan or any option is or becomes or is deemed to
be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person
or option, or would disqualify the Plan or any option under any law deemed
4
applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended
to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the
intent of the Plan or the option, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, person or option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such
option shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 13. No Right to Continued Board Membership.
The grant of options shall not be construed as giving a participant the
right to be retained as a director of the Company. The Board may at any time
fail or refuse to nominate a participant for election to the Board, and the
stockholders of the Company may at any election fail or refuse to elect any
participant to the Board free from any liability or claim under this Plan or
any options.
Section 14. No Trust or Fund Created.
Neither the Plan nor any options shall create or be construed to create a
trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the
Company and a participant or any other person. To the extent that any person
acquires a right to receive options, or Shares pursuant to options, from the
Company pursuant to this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right
of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
