                        DALLAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
                        SPLIT-DOLLAR INSURANCE AGREEMENT


        THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of this 20th day of July, 2000, by
and between Merlyn D. Sampels ("Participant"), whose address is 7718 Caruth
Boulevard, Dallas, Texas 75225, and Dallas Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Company"), having its principal office and place of business
located at 4401 South Beltwood Parkway, Dallas, Texas 75244.


        WHEREAS, the Company by resolution of the Board of Directors duly
adopted on December 17, 1993 ("Date of Adoption") has adopted the Dallas
Semiconductor Corporation Split-Dollar Insurance Plan to promote the interests
of the Company in retaining the officers and directors of the Company who have
made, and are capable of continuing to make, valuable contributions to the
Company's performance by providing life insurance protection; and

        WHEREAS, Participant is a director of the Company who had completed at
least five (5) years of service as a director of the Company on the Date of
Adoption and has expressed a willingness to continue his services as a director
of the Company, or is an officer of the Company at the Vice President level or
above on the Date of Adoption; and

        WHEREAS, Participant entered into an agreement with the Company dated
the 15th day of February, 1994, concerning a split-dollar life insurance
arrangement with the Company (the "Prior Agreement"); and

        WHEREAS, this Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety
the terms of the Prior Agreement, effective the date of this Agreement;

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1. Policy. Participant has applied for, and the Company has caused to be
issued, a policy or policies of permanent life insurance described on Exhibit
"A" attached hereto, with the attributes described in Section 2 hereof (such
policy or policies, together with any additional policy or policies issued with
the consent of Participant in substitution or replacement for any such policy or
policies, are collectively referred to herein as the "Policy") from an insurance
company selected by the Company as described on Exhibit "A" ("Insurer"). The
Participant has also applied for and the Company has caused to be issued a
policy or policies of permanent life insurance in which another Plan participant
is the named insured, such policy being identified on Exhibit "A" as the
Nationwide Policy. The term "Policy" shall also include such policy. The Company
will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the Policy
to be maintained in force at all times, so as to provide Participant with all of
the benefits of the Policy and this Agreement.



<PAGE>   2

        2. Benefits. The Policy has been structured, based on a specified
interest rate, mortality and other assumptions, to provide Participant (over and
above benefits payable to the Company) with the benefits, during each year in
which the Policy is in force, provided in the Policy and those benefits
described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The Company assumes no responsibility
or liability with respect to the actual performance of the Policy, but the
Company agrees to timely pay to the insurer such amounts as may be needed for
the cash value in Nationwide Policy No. N056117510 to always be at least
$250,000.

        3. Ownership of Policy. With respect to any Policy, the Participant (or
if Participant so elects, an individual or entity designated by Participant)
shall be the owner of the Policy, and the Participant, subject to the limited
collateral assignment of such Policy to the Company as provided in Section 7
hereof, may exercise all the rights of ownership with respect to the Policy,
including, but not limited to: (a) the right to designate, or change the
designation of, any beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Policy, (b) the right to
pledge the Policy as security for a loan or to obtain from the Insurer a loan
against the surrender or cash value, and in accordance with the terms, of the
Policy, (c) the right to withdraw, during the Participant's lifetime, all or any
part of the Policy's cash value (specifically including the cash value in
Nationwide Policy No. 56117510) on the date of Participant's withdrawal, (d) the
right to assign or transfer the Policy, in whole or in part, and (e) the right
to sell, surrender or terminate the Policy.

        4. Payment of Premiums. All premiums on the Policy shall be paid by the
Company (or in the discretion of the Company, on behalf of the Company by the
trustee [the "Trustee"] of the Dallas Semiconductor Corporation Executive
Split-Dollar Insurance Trust [the "Trust"]). The Company shall never permit the
Policy to lapse. Premium payments paid by the Trustee shall be considered as
payments by the Company for all purposes under this Agreement. While all
premiums on the Policy shall be paid by or on behalf of the Company, that
portion of the premium equal to the amount of income imputed to Participant for
federal and state income tax purposes on the value of the economic benefit of
the life insurance protection provided to Participant shall be deemed to have
been paid by the Company to the Participant and immediately paid by Participant
to the Insurer. If the Company elects to pay the premiums to the Trust, such
payment shall constitute sufficient funds to pay all premiums which may become
due on each such Policy.

        5. Change of Control. In the event of the occurrence of a Change of
Control (as hereinafter defined): (a) the Company (or if so directed by the
Company, the Trustee) shall immediately pay to the Insurer all remaining
premiums on the Policy, regardless of whether such premiums are then due, and
(b) the collateral assignment of the Policy to the Company, as provided in
Section 7 hereof shall immediately and fully terminate, and the Participant
shall become fully vested in the entire cash value and death benefit payable
under the Policy. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall
mean a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in
response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), whether or not
the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided that,
without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if
(i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of




                                       2
<PAGE>   3

the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company's then outstanding securities; (ii) at any time following the date of
execution of this Agreement individuals who are directors of the Company at such
date cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors;
(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately
prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80% of
the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation,
except that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization
of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no "person" (as hereinabove
defined) acquires more than 15% of the combined voting power of the Company's
then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the
Company; (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (v) the election
of any person other than C. V. Prothro as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company.

        6. Tax Offset Payments. To the extent that the Participant may be deemed
to have realized gross income in any year for federal and state income tax
purposes or gift tax purposes by reason of this Agreement, including the value
of the insurance protection or other benefits thereunder provided by the Policy
or otherwise as a consequence of the Plan (including, but not limited to the
vesting of benefits to the Participant upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control or otherwise), the Company shall pay to Participant an additional amount
such that the after-tax cost to the Participant is zero.

        7. Collateral Assignment of Policy. The Participant shall, and does
hereby, collaterally assign to the Company an interest in the cash values and
death benefit of the Policy as follows:

           (a) If the Participant surrenders or sells the Policy, he shall pay
        the Company, out of the proceeds of the Policy, an amount equal to the
        lesser of (i) the cash value of the Policy, or (ii) the aggregate amount
        of premiums paid by the Company with respect to the Policy;

           (b) The Company shall be entitled to receive the cumulative premiums
        paid for MetLife Policies Nos. 940250361 E3 and 940250367 E3 (the amount
        of which is a portion of the amount indicated in the column headed Death
        Benefits Payable to the Company shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto)
        from the death benefit paid under Nationwide Policy No. N056117510, and
        the Company shall be entitled to receive the cumulative premiums paid
        for John Hancock Policy No. 534889 (the amount of which is the remainder
        of the amount indicated in the column headed Death Benefits Payable to
        the Company shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto) from the death
        benefits payable under such policy upon the death of the survivor of the
        insured covered under such policy. All death benefits payable under
        MetLife Policies Nos. 940250361 E3 and 940250367 E3 shall be paid to the
        beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Participant, and all




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

        death benefits payable under John Hancock Policy No. 534889 that exceed
        the premiums reimbursed to the Company out of such policy's proceeds
        under the preceding sentence shall be paid to the beneficiary or
        beneficiaries of Participant. (The death benefits payable under the
        MetLife policies are indicated in the column headed Death Benefit
        Payable to Participant's Beneficiary: Individual Coverage, and the death
        benefits payable under the John Hancock policy are indicated in the
        column headed Death Benefit Payable to Participant's Beneficiary:
        Survivorship Coverage, both columns as shown on Exhibit "A" attached
        hereto.) All death benefits payable under Nationwide Policy No.
        N056117510 that exceed the premiums reimbursed to the Company out of
        such policy's proceeds under the first sentence of this paragraph shall
        be paid as follows: (1) to Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries,
        the excess of (A) 1,300,000 over (B) the amounts, if any, paid to
        Participant, in Participant's sole discretion, from Nationwide Policy
        No. N056117510 during Participant's lifetime, and (2) the balance to the
        Company. If the death benefits payable under this Agreement exceed the
        sum of (i) the aggregate amount of premiums paid by the Company as set
        forth on Exhibit "A" and (ii) the other amounts payable to the Company
        under this paragraph, such excess death benefits shall be payable to the
        Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries.

        The collateral assignment of the Policy shall not be altered or changed
without the consent of the Company and the Participant.

        8. Adjustment of Benefits; Additional Policy Benefits or Riders. The
Company and the Participant may from time to time enter into agreements which
may adjust the value of each party's interests in the Policy. The Participant
may add any rider or endorsement to the Policy. If any such rider or endorsement
is added upon the written request of the Company, all premiums with respect to
such rider or endorsement shall be paid by the Company. A Participant shall not
be required to withdraw any benefits payable under the Policy and may elect to
apply the value attributable to such benefits to the purchase of additional
benefits payable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries named by Participant under
the Policy, if the Participant so elects, or to treat such benefits as
additional insurance payable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Policy
upon the death of the Participant.

        9. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors of
the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment shall diminish, abrogate
or change any rights or benefits of the Participant under the Policy or this
Agreement without the Participant's prior written consent, and no amendment of
the Policy or this Agreement shall be made upon or after the occurrence of a
Change of Control without the prior written consent of each Participant.

        10. Benefits Cumulative. The benefits to the Participant under this
Agreement shall be cumulative with, and shall not reduce or be deemed to be in
substitution of, any benefits, payments or compensation to which Participant may
otherwise be entitled under any other compensation, benefit, welfare, savings,
retirement or compensation plan of, or for the employees, officers or directors
of, the Company.

        11. Further Assurances. The Company and Participant shall enter into,
execute and deliver all such documents, instruments, and other agreements as the
other party may reasonably




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

request, or as the Insurer or Participant may reasonably require, in order to
carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

        12. ERISA Requirements.

        (a) Funding Policy. All premiums on the Policy shall be remitted by, or
on behalf of, the Company to the Insurer. The benefits provided by the Policy
shall be paid by the Insurer in accordance with the terms of the Policy and this
Agreement. The payment of such benefits is predicated on the payment of the
required premiums.

        (b) Claims and Review Procedures. The following claims procedure shall
apply for purposes of this Agreement. The claims procedure in subparagraph
(b)(1) below shall be followed with respect to benefits provided by the Insurer
under the terms of the Policy. The claims procedure in subparagraph (b)(2) below

successors, beneficiaries or representatives, as appropriate (individually or
collectively, "Claimant"), must follow both procedures, if necessary.

            (i) Filing a Claim for Insurance Benefits. A Claimant shall make a
        claim for benefits provided by the Insurer by submitting a written claim
        and proof of claim to the Insurer in accordance with procedures and

        request, the Company, acting as the "Plan Administrator," shall provide
        copies of any claim forms or instructions, or advise the Claimant how to
        obtain such forms or instructions. The Insurer shall decide whether the
        claim shall be allowed. If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the
        Insurer shall notify the Claimant and explain the procedure for
        reviewing a denied claim.

            (ii) Filing a Claim for Any Other Benefit. The following claims
        procedure shall apply with respect to all benefits other than those
        provided by the Insurer:

                 (A) Filing a Claim; Notification to Claimant of Decision: The
            Claimant shall make a claim in writing in accordance with procedures
            and guidelines established from time to time by the Plan
            Administrator, which claim shall be delivered to the Plan
            Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall review and make the
            decision with respect to any claim. If a claim is denied in whole or
            in part, written notice thereof shall be furnished to the Claimant
            within thirty days after the claim has been filed. Such notice shall
            set forth:

                     (1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

                     (2) specific reference to the provisions of this Agreement
                 on which denial is based;




                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                     (3) a description of any additional material or information
                 necessary for the Claimant to perfect a claim and an
                 explanation of why such material or information is necessary;
                 and

                     (4) an explanation of the procedure for review of the
                 denied claim.

                 (B) Procedure for Review: Any Claimant whose claim has been
            denied in full or in part may individually, or through the
            Claimant's duly authorized representative, request a review of the
            claim denial by delivering a written application for review to the
            Plan Administrator at any time within sixty days after receipt by
            the Claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim. Such
            request shall set forth in reasonable detail:

                     (1) the grounds upon which the request for review is based
                 and any facts in support thereof; and

                     (2) any issues or comments which the Claimant considers
                 pertinent to the claim.

                 Following such request for review, the Plan Administrator fully
            and fairly shall review the decision denying the claim. Prior to the
            decision of the Plan Administrator, the Claimant shall be given an
            opportunity to review pertinent documents.

                 (C) Decision on Review: A decision on the review of a claim
            denied in whole or in part shall be made in the following manner:

                     (1) The decision on review shall be made by the Plan
                 Administrator, which shall consider the application and any
                 written materials submitted by the Claimant in connection
                 therewith. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
                 require the Claimant to submit such additional documents or
                 evidence as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or
                 advisable in making such review.

                     (2) The Plan Administrator will render a decision upon a
                 review of a denied claim within sixty days after receipt of a
                 request for review. If special circumstances (such as the need
                 to hold a hearing on any matter pertaining to the denied claim)
                 warrant additional time, the decision will be rendered as soon
                 as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty days after
                 receipt of a request for review. Written notice of any such
                 extension will be furnished to the Claimant prior to the
                 commencement of the extension.

                     (3) The decision on review shall be in writing and shall
                 include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner
                 calculated to




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

                 be understood by the Claimant, and specific references to the
                 provisions of this Agreement on which the decision is based.
                 The decision of the Plan Administrator on review shall be final
                 and conclusive upon all persons. If the decision on review is
                 not furnished to the Claimant within the time limits prescribed
                 in subparagraph (c)(2) above, the claim will be deemed denied
                 on review.

        13. Legal Fees. The Company shall pay to the Participant and his
beneficiary and beneficiaries upon demand all legal fees and expenses incurred
by the Participant or by his beneficiary or beneficiaries, respectively, in
seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by the Policy and
this Agreement.

        14. Successors; Binding Agreement.

        (a) In addition to the requirements of Section 5 of this Agreement, the
Company will, upon the request of Participant, require any proposed successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession were to take place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption
and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a
breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Participant to all rights,
compensation and other benefits from the Company in the same amount and on the
same terms as the Participant would otherwise be entitled hereunder. As used in
this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
such successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid, by operation of law,
or otherwise.

        (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 14(a) above, the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
(a) the Company and its successors and assigns and (b) the Participant and his
respective heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

        15. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

        16. Miscellaneous. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any
breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed
a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise,
express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by
either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Delaware. All references to sections of the Exchange
Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to
such sections. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall survive
the expiration of this Agreement.

herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon

        18. Indemnification.

        (a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Participant and any beneficiary or beneficiaries of Participant against any and
all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by Participant or any beneficiary

        (b) The expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Participant or
any beneficiary or beneficiaries of Participant in defending any Proceeding
shall be advanced by the Company at the request of the Participant or any such
beneficiary or beneficiaries. Any judgments, fines or amounts to be paid in
settlement shall also be advanced by the Company to the Participant or any
beneficiary or beneficiaries of Participant upon request.

        19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

        20. Headings. Headings in this Agreement are inserted for reference and
convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

        21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
