1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(LEGAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE OPTION)
FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.

, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to its 1996 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Plan") has granted to Grantee, the Grantee named on the Notice of
Grant of Stock Options (the "Grant Notice"), which has been delivered to Grantee
separately, an option (the "Option") to purchase shares of the common stock of
the Company ("Common Stock"). The Option will not be treated as an "incentive
stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

The legal provisions governing the Option, including any country-specific
appendix for Grantee's country of residence, (together referred to herein as the
"Agreement") are as follows:

Total Number of Shares Subject to this Option.

The total number of Shares subject to the Option is set forth on the Grant
Notice.

Vesting.

Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Option shall be exercisable
with respect to each installment on or after the date of vesting applicable to
such installment as set forth in the Grant Notice. Vesting is conditioned upon
Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant on each
applicable vesting date.

Exercise Price and Method of Payment.

(a) Exercise Price.

The exercise price of the Option is set forth on the Grant Notice, being not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant of the Option.

(b) Method of Payment.

Payment of the exercise price per Share is due in full upon exercise of all or
any part of each installment which has become exercisable by Grantee by any of
the following, or a combination thereof, at Grantee's election:

cash; or

check; or

delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other
documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require
to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale
proceeds required to pay the exercise price.

Minimum Number of Shares and Whole Shares.

The minimum number of Shares with respect to which the Option may be exercised
at any one time is one hundred (100), except (a) as to an installment subject to
exercise, as set forth in paragraph 2, which amounts to fewer than one hundred
(100) Shares, in which case, as to the exercise of that installment, the number
of Shares in such installment shall be the minimum number of Shares, and
(b) with respect to the final exercise of the Option this minimum shall not

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

apply. In no event may this Option be exercised for any number of Shares which
would require the issuance of anything other than whole Shares.

Securities Law Compliance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Option may not be
exercised unless the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option are then
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined
that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act.

Term of Option.

The term of the Option commences on the date of grant and, unless sooner
terminated as set forth in the Grant Notice, below or in the Plan, the Option
terminates on the date seven (7) years from the date of grant. In no event may
the Option be exercised on or after the date on which it terminates. The Option
shall terminate prior to the expiration of its maximum term as follows: Ninety
(90) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant for any reason or for no reason unless:

(a)

such termination is due to Grantee's permanent and total disability (as
determined by the Administrator pursuant to Applicable Laws), in which event the
Option shall terminate on the earlier of the termination date set forth above or
three hundred and sixty- five (365) days following termination of Grantee's
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant; or

(b)

such termination is due to Grantee's death, in which event the Option shall
terminate on the earlier of the termination date set forth above or five hundred
and forty-seven (547) days after Grantee's death; or

(c)

during any part of such ninety (90) day period the Option is not exercisable
solely because of the condition set forth in paragraph 5 above, in which event
the Option shall not terminate until the earlier of the termination date set
forth above or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of
ninety (90) days after the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant.

(d)

exercise of the Option within ninety (90) days after Grantee's termination from
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant would result in
liability under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in which
case the Option will terminate on the earlier of (I) the termination date set
forth above, (ii) the tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise
would result in such liability or (iii) six (6) months and ten (10) days after
the termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant.

However, the Option may be exercised following Grantee's termination from
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant only as to that number
of Shares as to which it was exercisable on the date such termination under the
provisions of paragraph 2 of this Agreement.

Exercise of Option.

The Option may be exercised, to the extent specified above, by delivering a
notice of exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the
exercise price and any Tax-Related Items (as defined below), or with such other
documentation as the Administrator shall require, to the Secretary of the
Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate (including a
brokerage firm authorized by the Company to effect the exercise of the Option),
during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the
Company may then require pursuant to the Plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Withholding of Taxes.

Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary or affiliate
employing Grantee (the "Employer") take with respect to any or all income tax
(including U.S. federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social
insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related withholding
("Tax-Related Items"), Grantee hereby acknowledges that the ultimate liability
for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Grantee with respect to the Option is
and remains Grantee's responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer
(i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any
Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the
grant of the Option, the vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale
of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of
any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any
aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Grantee's liability for Tax-Related
Items.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, Grantee shall pay or make adequate
arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all
Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and/or
the Employer, in their sole discretion, pursuant to such procedures as they may
specify from time to time and without any notice to or authorization by Grantee,
to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Grantee in whole
or in part by means of one or a combination of the following (without
limitation): (1) withholding from Grantee's wages or other cash compensation
paid to Grantee by the Company and/or Grantee's employer; (2) withholding from
proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the
Option; (3) selling or arranging for the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of the Option (on Grantee's behalf and at Grantee's discretion
pursuant to this authorization); or (4) withholding in shares of Common Stock,
provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock
necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. If the Company satisfies
the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items by withholding shares of Common
Stock, as described above, Grantee hereby acknowledges that Grantee is deemed to
have been issued the full amount of Common Stock subject to the Option,
notwithstanding that Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying
the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Option. Grantee
hereby acknowledges that Grantee is required to pay to the Company or the
Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be
required to withhold as a result of Grantee's participation in the Plan, or the
purchase of Common Stock at exercise that cannot be satisfied by the means
previously described. Grantee hereby acknowledges that the Company may refuse to
honor the exercise of the Option if Grantee fails to comply with Grantee's
obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this
paragraph 8.

Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and the Option.

In accepting the Option, Grantee acknowledges that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in
nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company
at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement;

(b) the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in
lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards of Options, if any, will be at
the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) Grantee's participation in the Plan is voluntary;

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) the Options is an extraordinary items that does not constitute compensation
of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer,
and which is outside the scope of Grantee's employment contract, if any;

(f) the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any
purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation,
termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
variable compensation, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar
payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating
in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer;

(g) this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting
schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of
Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant for the
vesting period, for any period, or at all, and will not interfere with the
Grantee's right or the right of the Company or the Employer to terminate
Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant at any time;

(h) in the event that Grantee is not an Employee, Director or Consultant of the
Company, the Option and Grantee's participation in the Plan shall not be
interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the
Company; and furthermore, the Option and Grantee's participation in the Plan
will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any
Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;

(i) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and
cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j) if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase in value, the
Option will have no value;

(k) if Grantee exercises the Option and obtains shares of Common Stock, the
value of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or
decrease in value, even below the exercise price;

(l) in consideration of the grant of the Option, no claim or entitlement to
compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or diminution
in value of the Option or shares of Common Stock purchased through exercise of
the Option resulting from termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not
in breach of local labor laws) and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and
the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
arisen, then, by accepting the Option, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to
have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

(m) in the event of termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee's
right to receive the Option and vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will
terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer actively employed
or actively rendering services and will not be extended by any notice period
mandated under local law (e.g., active employment or service would not include a
period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore,
in the event of termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee's
right to exercise the Option after termination of Grantee's Continuous Status as
an Employee, Director or Consultant, if any, will be measured by the date of
termination of active employment and will not be extended by any notice period
mandated under local law; the Administrator

4

actively employed or actively rendering services for purposes of the Option;

financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action
related to the Plan.

understands that Grantee may contact Grantee's local human resources

APPENDIX

MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(LEGAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE OPTION)
FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option
granted to Grantee if Grantee resides in one of the countries listed herein.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Agreement or the Plan.

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain
other issues of which Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee's
participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange
control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of May 2008.
Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company
strongly recommends that Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the
only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee's
participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time
the Grantee acquires Shares or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the
Grantee's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure
Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, Grantee is advised to seek
appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee's
country may apply to the Grantee's situation.

Finally, if Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in
which Grantee is currently working, the information contained herein may not be
applicable to Grantee.

AUSTRALIA

Securities Law Information

If Grantee acquires shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option, and Grantee
offers Shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in
Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian
law. Grantee should obtain legal advice on disclosure obligations prior to
making any such offer.

Exchange Control Notification

Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding A$10,000
and international fund transfers. The Australian bank assisting with the
transaction will file the report. If there is no Australian bank involved in the
transfer, Grantee will be required to file the report.

AUSTRIA

Exchange Control Notification

If Grantee holds shares of Common Stock obtained through the Plan outside
Austria (even if held outside of Austria with an Austrian bank), Grantee must
submit an annual report to the Austrian National Bank using the form
"Standmeldung." An exemption applies if the value of the securities held outside
Austria as of

A-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 31 does not exceed €5,000,000 or the value of securities as of any
quarter does not exceed €30,000,000. The reporting date is December 31; the
deadline for filing the report is March 31 of the following year.

When shares of Common Stock are sold, there may be exchange control obligations
if the cash received is held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all
cash accounts abroad exceeds €3 million, the movements and the balance of all
accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before
the fifteenth day of the following month by filing form "Meldungen SI-
Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen." If the value of all cash accounts
abroad is below €3 million, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.

Consumer Protection Notice

Under certain circumstances, Grantee may be entitled to revoke acceptance of the
Agreement on the basis of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act under the
following conditions:

The revocation must be made within one week of the day Grantee accepted the
Agreement; and

The revocation must be in written form to be valid. It is sufficient if Grantee
returns the Agreement to the Company or the Company's representative with
language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the terms
contained in the Agreement. It is sufficient if the revocation is sent within
the period discussed above.

the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to
pay the exercise price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax-Related Items; and

the total capital of the Company, Grantee must report holdings in the Company on
an annual basis.

HONG KONG

Securities Law Information

employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries or affiliates; they are not a public
offer of securities. The contents of the Plan and Agreement have not been
reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong and Grantee is

A-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

advised to exercise caution in relation to the Option. If Grantee is in any
doubt about any of the contents of the Plan documents, Grantee should obtain
independent professional advice.

ISRAEL

Method of Payment

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, Grantee
may pay the exercise price and any Tax-Related Items solely by means of a
cashless sell-all method of exercise. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise,
Grantee must provide irrevocable instructions to a broker to: (i) sell all of
the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to
pay the exercise price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax-Related Items; and
(iii) remit the balance in cash to Grantee. At its discretion, the Company
reserves the right to permit Grantee to exercise the Option and pay the exercise

JAPAN

Exchange Control Notification

If Grantee pays more than ¥30,000,000 in a single transaction for the purchase
of shares of Common Stock when Grantee exercises the Option, Grantee must file a
Payment Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan by the
20th day of the month following the month in which the payment was made. The
precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether the relevant payment is
made through a bank in Japan.

If Grantee intends to acquire shares of Common Stock whose value exceeds
¥100 million in a single transaction, Grantee must file an ex post facto Report
Concerning Acquisition of Shares with the Ministry of Finance within 20 days of
acquiring the shares of Common Stock.

KOREA

Exchange Control Notification

If Grantee remits funds out of Korea to purchase shares of Common Stock under
the Plan, the remittance must be "confirmed" by a foreign exchange bank in
Korea. This is an automatic procedure, i.e., the bank does not need to "approve"
the remittance, and it should take no more than a single day to process. The
following supporting documents evidencing the nature of the remittance must be
submitted to the bank together with the confirmation application: (i) the Notice
of Grant of Options and the Agreement; (ii) the Plan; (iii) a document
evidencing the type of shares to be acquired and the amount (e.g., the award
certificate); and (iv) Grantee's certificate of employment. This confirmation is
not necessary for cashless exercises since there is no remittance out of Korea.

Additionally, exchange control laws require Korean residents who realize
US$500,000 or more from the sale of shares to repatriate the proceeds to Korea
within 18 months of the sale.

NETHERLANDS

Securities Law Information

Grantee should be aware of the Dutch insider trading rules which may impact the
sale of shares of

A-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common Stock acquired under the Plan. In particular, Grantee may be prohibited
from effecting certain share transactions if Grantee has insider information
regarding the Company.

By accepting the Option and participating in the Plan, Grantee acknowledges
having read and understood this Securities Law Information and acknowledges that
it is the Grantee's responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider
trading rules:

Prohibition Against Insider Trading

Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995,
anyone who has "inside information" related to the Company is prohibited from
effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. "Inside
information" is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the
securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably
be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the
price. The insider could be any employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or
affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described above.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees
of the Company working at a Subsidiary or affiliate in the Netherlands
(including Grantee) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited
from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when
Grantee had such inside information.

PHILIPPINES

There are no country-specific provisions.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information

The offer is being made on a private basis and is, therefore, exempt from
registration in Singapore.

Director Notification Requirement

If Grantee is a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singaporean
Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, Grantee is subject to certain
notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these
requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Subsidiary or affiliate in
writing when Grantee receives an interest (e.g., the Option, shares of Common
Stock) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, Grantee must notify
the Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate when Grantee sells shares of Common
Stock of the Company or any related company (including when Grantee sells shares
of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option). These notifications must
be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company
or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of interests in
the Company or any related company within two days of becoming a director.

SPAIN

Exchange Control Notification

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of shares of
Common Stock (i.e., dividends or sale proceeds), Grantee must inform the
financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment
is made. Grantee will need to provide the institution with the following

A-5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

information: (i) name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name
and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; the
currency used; (iv) the country of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and
(vi) further information that may be required.

If Grantee acquires shares of Common Stock under the Plan and wishes to import
the ownership title of such Stock (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, Grantee
must declare the importation of such securities to the DGPCIE.

Labor Law Acknowledgment

This provision supplements paragraph 9: Nature of Grant in the Agreement:

By accepting the Option, Grantee acknowledges that he or she understands and
agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of
the Plan.

Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and
discretionally decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be
employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates throughout the world.
The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express
assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates on an ongoing basis.
Consequently, Grantee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and
condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) and shall not be
considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance
compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Grantee understands and
freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall
arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the
Option and shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition,
Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions
and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee understands, acknowledges and
freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should
any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Option shall be null
and void.

TAIWAN

Exchange Control Notification

Individuals may acquire and remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the
sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company) into Taiwan up to US$5,000,000
per year without justification. There is no need to aggregate all remittances
into Taiwan when calculating the limitation. If the transaction amount is
TWD$500,000 or more in a single transaction, Grantee must submit a Foreign
Exchange Transaction Form and also provide supporting documentation to the
satisfaction of the remitting bank.

THAILAND

Exchange Control Notification

Grantee must immediately repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares of
Common Stock to Thailand. The funds must be converted into Thai Baht or
deposited in a foreign currency account in Thailand within 360 days of
remittance into Thailand. In the event that the amount of the proceeds from the
sale of shares of Common Stock is US$20,000 or its equivalent, or above, Grantee
will be required to provide information associated with the source of such
income on the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the authorized agent for
reporting to an exchange control officer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TURKEY

Exchange Control Notification

Exchange control regulations require Turkish residents to buy shares through
financial intermediary institutions that are approved under the Capital Market
Law (i.e., banks licensed in Turkey). Therefore, if Grantee uses cash to
exercise the Option, the funds must be remitted through a bank or other
financial institution licensed in Turkey. A wire transfer of funds by a Turkish
bank will satisfy this requirement. This requirement does not apply to cashless
sell-all exercises, as no funds leave Turkey.

 

UNITED KINGDOM

Eligibility

Notwithstanding Section 5 of the Plan, or any provision or discretion in the
Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, Options may be granted only to Employees
in the United Kingdom. For the avoidance of doubt, Consultants based in the
United Kingdom shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

Tax Acknowledgment

The following provisions supplement paragraph 8: Withholding of Taxes in the
Agreement:

Grantee agrees that if the Employer or the Company does not withhold or
otherwise collect the full amount of Tax-Related Items that Grantee owes due to
the exercise of the Option or release, assignment or cancellation of the Option
(the "Chargeable Event") from Grantee within 90 days after the Chargeable Event
or such other period as required by U.K. law (the "Due Date"), then the amount
that should have been withheld or collected shall constitute a loan owed by
Grantee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Grantee agrees that the loan
will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty's Revenue &
Customs ("HMRC") and it will be immediately due and repayable by Grantee and the
Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the
means referred to in paragraph 8 of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is an officer or executive director
(as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended), the terms of the provision above will not apply. In the
event that Grantee is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are
not collected from or paid by Grantee by the Due Date, the amount of any
uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to Grantee on which
additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable.
Grantee acknowledges the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time
thereafter by any of the means referred to above in paragraph 8 of the
Agreement. Grantee also authorizes the Company to withhold the transfer of any
shares of Common Stock unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Joint Election

As a condition of Grantee's participation in the Plan and of the exercise of the
Option, Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National
Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer
with respect to the Chargeable Event ("Employer NICs").

Without limitation to the foregoing, Grantee agrees to execute a joint election
with the Company or the Employer, the form of such joint election being formally
approved by HMRC (the "Joint Election"), and any other required consents or
elections as provided to Grantee by the Company or the Employer.

A-7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required
between Grantee and any successor to the Company or the Employer.

If Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election, or if the Joint Election is
revoked at any time by HMRC, the Option shall cease vesting and become null and
void, and no shares of Common Stock shall be acquired under the Plan, without
any liability to the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or affiliate.

Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the
Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in paragraph 8 of the Agreement, as
supplemented above.
