Federal Way, WA 98003

Dear Cathy: 

As you know, the Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) Board of Directors has approved a review of strategic alternatives for the Cellulose Fibers business.  Because we expect that you will be a critical resource to Weyerhaeuser during this strategic review process, we are pleased to offer you this retention agreement (this “Agreement”).  

1.    Retention Payment.  Subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, Weyerhaeuser (or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof) will pay you a one-time retention payment in the amount of $1,500,000.00 (the “Retention Payment”).  If earned, Weyerhaeuser (or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof) will pay the Retention Payment in cash in a single lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 30 days, after the closing date (“Closing Date”) of a transaction involving the divestiture of all or substantially all of the Cellulose Fibers business (the “Transaction”).  The Retention Payment will be in addition to any other retention or severance payments otherwise due under existing agreements and/or severance plans or programs for which you are eligible.

2.    Terms and Conditions.  Subject to Section 3, to be eligible to receive the Retention Payment:

(a)    Satisfactory Performance of Job Responsibilities.  You must maintain the satisfactory performance of your regular job responsibilities at Weyerhaeuser (or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof), as directed by your manager.  

(b)    Support of Strategic Review Process.  You must assist, support and fully cooperate with Weyerhaeuser in all matters relating to the strategic review process for the Cellulose Fibers business.  You must perform all tasks requested of you by your manager (or such other officers as may request your participation with respect to the strategic review process) to bring about the closing of any Transaction.  

(c)    No Violation of Agreement.  You must have complied with all of the provisions of this Agreement through the date of payment of the Retention Payment.

3.    Employment.  

(a)    Employment At Will.  Your employment with Weyerhaeuser will continue to be “at will.”  This means that your employment may be terminated at any time by you or by Weyerhaeuser.  This Agreement does not alter the “at will” basis of your employment and neither binds you to continued employment nor confers any rights to you with respect to continuation of your employment.

(b)    Effect of Termination of Employment before Closing Date. 

(1)    If you voluntarily terminate your employment before the Closing Date for any reason, you will not be eligible to receive the Retention Payment.

EXHIBIT 10(w)

(2)    If Weyerhaeuser terminates your employment before the Closing Date for one of the following reasons, or otherwise for cause, you will not be eligible to receive the Retention Payment:  
(A) continued failure to satisfactorily perform your job responsibilities after written notice specifically identifying the manner in which you have not satisfactorily performed your job responsibilities (including with respect to assisting, supporting and fully cooperating in matters relating to the strategic review process); (B) conviction of a felony; or (C) willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to Weyerhaeuser. 

(3)    If your employment is involuntarily terminated before the Closing Date, other than for cause or as specified in paragraph 3(b)(2) above, you will remain eligible to receive the Retention Payment as though the date of your termination had been the Closing Date, provided that your eligibility for the Retention Payment will remain conditioned upon the Closing Date having actually occurred.

4.    Taxes and Withholding.  Weyerhaeuser, or a subsidiary or affiliate of Weyerhaeuser, may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes, and any other statutory or company deduction, as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

5.    Compliance with Section 409A.  This Section 5 will apply notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.  This Agreement is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  However, neither Weyerhaeuser nor any subsidiary or affiliate of Weyerhaeuser will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  To the extent that rights or payments under this Agreement are determined to be subject to Section 409A, this Agreement will be construed and administered in compliance with the conditions of Section 409A and regulations and other guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A.  To the extent necessary to avoid any additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A, the timing of any payments to you under this Agreement may be postponed for six months from the date of your termination of employment.  Weyerhaeuser and you agree to make any amendments to this Agreement that may be required to comply with Section 409A.  Furthermore, in light of uncertainty surrounding the proper application of Section 409A, Weyerhaeuser (or a subsidiary or affiliate of Weyerhaeuser) may make necessary amendments to this Agreement without your consent for the limited purpose of avoiding, and solely to the extent necessary to avoid, imposition of additional taxes or penalties on you under Section 409A.  

6.    No Obligation Regarding Transaction.  Nothing in this Agreement will obligate Weyerhaeuser or any subsidiary or affiliate of Weyerhaeuser to continue the strategic review process or to close any transaction. 

7.    Termination of this Agreement.  In the event that (a) Weyerhaeuser’s Board of Directors decides to end the strategic review process for Cellulose Fibers without having completed a Transaction or (b) the Closing Date has not occurred by September 1, 2017, this Agreement will become null and void and you will not be entitled to any portion of the Retention Payment.

8.    Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington applicable to contracts made and to be performed within such state without regard to its conflict of law rules.  Each party to this Agreement submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in King County, Washington or the Western District of Washington, respectively, in any action or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of such action or dispute shall be heard and determined in any such court.  Each party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement in any other court and waives any defense or objection to the jurisdiction of any such court, including that of inconvenient forum.

9.    Other Provisions.  In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. Satisfaction of the terms and conditions in Section 2 will be determined by Weyerhaeuser.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and 

EXHIBIT 10(w)

by a duly authorized officer of Weyerhaeuser (or its subsidiary), or by the respective parties’ legal representatives and successors.  

If the terms of this Agreement are agreeable to you, please sign in the space indicated below and return your signed original to me.

I want to thank you for your support and continued service to Weyerhaeuser.  

Sincerely,

      /s/ Denise M. Merle

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
GLOBAL NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Private & Confidential (Addressee Only)

{EMPNAME}
 
{EMPNUM}
We are pleased to advise the Optionee (the “Optionee”) that Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Optionee an option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock set forth below (the “Option”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Analog Devices, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and this Global Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, including Appendix A, which includes any applicable country-specific provisions (this agreement, together with Appendix A, the “Agreement”).  The grant of this Option reflects the Company’s confidence in the Optionee’s commitment and contributions to the success and continued growth of the Company.  
All terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
		
	1.
	Grant of Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company has granted to the Optionee an Option to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) effective on the Date of Grant set forth below:

Date of Grant:    {GRANTDATE}
 
Number of Option Shares Granted:    {SOSHARESGRANTED}
 
Option Exercise Price Per Share:    {EXERCISEPRICE}
		
	2.
	Vesting and Exercise of Option.  Subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company or the Employer (as defined in 3(h) below) and other limitations set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Option will vest as to a set number of shares on each of the vesting dates set out in the following schedule:

{SOVESTSCHED}

The right of exercise is cumulative, so that an Option, once vested, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time up to {EXPDATE}, the expiration date, or such earlier date as provided in Section  3 below or in the country-specific provisions in Appendix A.
		
	3.
	Term of Option; Termination of Employment.

		
	(a)
	The term of the Option is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant, subject, however, to the early termination provisions set forth herein.

		
	(b)
	Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee (or his or her successor in interest) following the termination of the Optionee’s employment only to the extent that the Option was vested on or prior to the date of such termination.

		
	(c)
	The vesting of the Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company or the Employer (as defined in Section 3(h))(except by reason of retirement after attaining age 60 as provided below) or on the date his or her employment is terminated by the Company or the Employer without “Cause” (as defined in paragraph d), but any Option Shares that are vested on the date of such termination shall continue to be exercisable for a period of three (3) months following such termination date.

		
	(d)
	The Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee’s employment with the Company or the Employer is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for “Cause”, and all Option Shares that are then vested shall forthwith cease to be exercisable. “Cause” for this purpose means unsatisfactory job performance (as determined by the Company), willful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence, disobedience or dishonesty, or as otherwise determined under applicable law.

		
	(e)
	Upon the death of the Optionee while he or she is an employee of the Company or the Employer, the Option shall become immediately vested in full as to all shares on the date of death and shall continue to be exercisable (by the Optionee’s successor in interest) over the remaining term of the Option.

VERSION 10/15    1

		
	(f)
	If the Optionee’s employment with the Company or the Employer terminates by reason of the retirement of the Optionee after attaining age 60, the vesting of the Option shall terminate on the date of such retirement, but any Option Shares that are vested on the date of such retirement shall continue to be exercisable over the remaining term of the Option; provided that all then-exercisable Option Shares held by such Optionee shall immediately cease to be exercisable in the event that such Optionee becomes an employee of any competitor of the Company or the Employer (as determined in the sole discretion of the Company).

		
	(g)
	If the Optionee becomes Disabled, regardless of whether Optionee terminates employment with the Company or the Employer, the Option shall vest and become exercisable in full on the date the Optionee is determined to be Disabled and shall continue to be exercisable until the date that is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant, at which time the Option shall terminate.  “Disabled” with respect to the Optionee means, when and if, as a result of disease, injury or mental disorder, the Optionee is incapable of engaging in regular service or occupation with the Company or the Employer (as defined in paragraph h) which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, as determined by the Company.

		
	(h)
	For purposes of this Agreement, employment shall include being an employee with the Company.  Employment shall also include being an employee with any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company (the “Employer”).  Should an Optionee transfer employment to become a director, consultant or advisor to the Company or the Employer following the Date of Grant, he or she will be considered employed for vesting purposes until he or she ceases to provide services to the Company or any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the company, or any successor to the Company or any such parent or subsidiary of the Company.

		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 3, if the Company or the Employer develops a good faith belief that any provision in this Section 3 may be found to be unlawful, discriminatory or against public policy in any relevant jurisdiction, then the Company in its sole discretion may choose not to apply such provision to this Option, nor any Option grant in the Optionee’s jurisdiction.

		
	4.
	Payment of Exercise Price.  The following payment methods may be used to purchase Option Shares:

		
	(a)
	A cashless exercise in a manner described in Section 5(f)(2) of the Plan.

		
	(b)
	Cash or check payable to the Company.

		
	(c)
	Delivery by the Optionee of shares of Common Stock of the Company (by actual delivery or attestation) in accordance with Section 5(f)(3) of the Plan.

		
	(d)
	Any combination of the above methods.

		
	5.
	Non-Transferability of Option.  Except in the event of death (whether by beneficiary designation or by will or the laws of descent and distribution) or as permitted by the Plan, this Option is personal and no rights granted hereunder shall be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), nor shall any such rights be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

		
	6.
	Adjustment.  This Option is subject to adjustment (including with respect to vesting of the Option Shares) upon certain changes in the Company’s common stock and certain other events, including a Change in Control Event or a Reorganization Event, as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

		
	7.
	Withholding Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer, if different, takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Optionee further acknowledges 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, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Option Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Optionee has become subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Option Shares acquired at exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).  The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by 

VERSION 10/15    2

considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.  No fractional Option Shares will be issued pursuant to the grant of the Option and the issuance of Option Shares hereunder.
Finally, the Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of Option Shares, if the Optionee fails to comply with the Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
		
	8.
	Nature of Grant.  In accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: 

		
	(a)
	the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

		
	(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 option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 

		
	(d)
	the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Optionee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time; 

		
	(e)
	the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

		
	(f)
	the Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or 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)
	the Option grant and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or the Employer;

		
	(h)
	the future value of the Option Shares underlying the Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

		
	(i)
	if the underlying Option Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; 

		
	(j)
	if the Optionee exercises the Option and acquires Option Shares, the value of such Option Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;

		
	(k)
	for Optionees who reside outside the U.S. and/or the Company is not the Optionee's employer, the following additional provisions shall apply:

		
	a.
	the Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

		
	b.
	the Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan are extraordinary items that do 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 the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any; 

		
	c.
	the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor the Employer shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Option Shares acquired upon exercise; and

		
	d.
	no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from termination of the Optionee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any) and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Optionee is otherwise not entitled, the Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.

VERSION 10/15    3

		
	9.
	No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Option Shares.  The Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

APPENDIX A TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
GLOBAL NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options granted to the Optionee if the Optionee resides in one of the countries listed herein.  These terms and conditions are in addition to, or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement. 

This Appendix A also includes certain issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control, income tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of October 2015.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Optionee exercises the Options or when the Option Shares purchased under the Plan are subsequently sold.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result.  Therefore, the Optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country may apply to his or her situation.

Finally, the Optionee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working, transfers employment after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to the Optionee, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.

AUSTRIA

Consumer Protection Information.  The Optionee may be entitled to revoke acceptance of the Agreement on the basis of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) under the conditions listed below, if the Act is considered to be applicable to the Agreement and the Plan: 

(i) The revocation must be made within one (1) week after acceptance of the Agreement.

(ii) The revocation must be in written form to be valid.  It is sufficient if the Optionee 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 Agreement, provided the revocation is sent within the period discussed above.

Exchange Control Information.  If the Optionee holds Option Shares acquired under the Plan outside Austria (even if he or she holds them outside Austria with an Austrian bank), then the Optionee understands that he or she must submit an annual report to the Austrian National Bank using the form “Standmeldung/Wertpapiere.”  An exemption applies if the value of the securities held outside Austria as of December 31 does not exceed €5,000,000 or the value of the securities as of any quarter does not exceed €30,000,000.  If the former threshold is exceeded, then the annual reporting obligations are imposed, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, then quarterly reports must be submitted.  The deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year. 

When the Option Shares are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash received is held outside Austria, as a separate ongoing reporting requirement may apply to non-Austrian accounts.  If the transaction value of all cash accounts abroad is less than €3,000,000, then no ongoing reporting requirements apply.  However, if the transaction volume of all of the Optionee’s cash accounts abroad exceeds €3,000,000, then the movements and the balance of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the 15th day of the following month, using the form “Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen.”

BELGIUM

Taxation of Option.  The Option must be accepted in writing either (i) within 60 days of the offer (for tax at offer), or (ii) after 60 days of the offer (for tax at exercise).  The Optionee has received a separate offer letter, acceptance form and undertaking form in addition to the Agreement.  The Optionee should refer to the offer letter for a more detailed description of the tax consequences of choosing to accept the Option.  The Optionee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor regarding completion of the additional forms.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information.  The Optionee is required to report any securities (e.g., Option Shares) or bank accounts opened and maintained outside Belgium on his or her annual tax return.  In a separate report, certain details regarding such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which such account was opened) must be reported to the Central Contact Point of the National Bank of Belgium.  The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium. 

VERSION 10/15    APPENDIX A - 1

CANADA

Form of Acceptance.  This Option grant is conditioned upon the Optionee’s written acceptance of the terms of the Agreement, including this Appendix A, and the Plan.  The Company will provide the Optionee with an acceptance form that must be signed and returned to the Company.  If Company does not receive the Optionee’s signed acceptance form within the deadline set forth therein, the Option will terminate and will become null and void.

Securities Law Information.  The Optionee is permitted to sell Option Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Option Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Option Shares are listed.  The Option Shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

Payment of Exercise Price and Withholding Taxes.  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or the Plan, the Optionee agrees to pay the Exercise Price and any Tax-Related Items solely by means of (i) cash, which may be paid by check, or other instrument acceptable to the Company or (ii) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, whereby the broker sells some or all of the Option Shares to be issued upon exercise to pay the Exercise Price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax-Related Items.  To the extent that tax regulatory requirements change, the Company reserves the right to permit the Optionee to exercise the Option and pay the Exercise Price and any applicable Tax-Related Items in Option Shares to the extent permitted by the Plan.

Termination of Employment. The following supplements Section 3 of the Agreement (except Section 3(g) regarding disability) as well as any other section required to give effect to the same:  

In the event of termination of the Optionee’s employment for any reason (other than by reason of the Optionee’s death), either by the Optionee or by the Employer, with or without cause, the Optionee's  right to vest or continue to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the actual Date of Termination.  For this purpose, “Date of Termination” shall mean the last day on which the Optionee is actively employed by the Employer, and shall not include or be extended by any period following such day during which the Optionee is in receipt of or eligible to receive any notice of termination, pay in lieu of notice of termination, severance pay or any other payments or damages, whether arising under statute, contract or at common law. 

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information.  If the total value of the Optionee’s foreign property (including cash held outside Canada or Option Shares) exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year, the Optionee must report all of his or her foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) by April 30 of the following year.  Foreign property may also include the unvested portion of the Options.  The Optionee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to determine the reporting requirements.

VERSION 10/15    APPENDIX A - 2

Due to regulatory requirements in the PRC, the Optionee will be required to exercise the Option using a broker assisted cashless sell-all exercise method pursuant to which all Option Shares subject to the exercised Option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale, less any broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to the Optionee.  The Optionee will not be permitted to hold Option Shares after exercise.  The Optionee understands and agrees that the Tax-Related Items with respect to the exercise of the Options may be taken by the Employer from the Optionee’s salary or other cash compensation.  The Optionee acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Option Shares pursuant to the cashless sell-all exercise method at any particular price.  The Company reserves the right to provide additional methods of exercise depending on the development of local law.  

Exchange Control Requirements.  Due to exchange control laws in the PRC, if the Optionee is a PRC national he or she will be required to repatriate the proceeds from the cashless sell-all exercise to the PRC.  The Optionee understands and agrees that such cash proceeds must be repatriated to the PRC through a special exchange control account established by the Company, the Employer, or a subsidiary of the Company, and the Optionee hereby consents and agrees that any proceeds from the sale of Option Shares may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Optionee.  

Further, notwithstanding Section 3(e) or 3(g) of the Agreement, if the Optionee terminates employment with the Company or the Employer due to death or the Optionee becomes Disabled as determined by the Company, the vesting of the Option shall accelerate on the date of such termination or determination of disability, and the Option shall continue to be exercisable for a period of three (3) months  (or such other period as may be required by the SAFE) following the termination date due to death or disability.  If the Optionee or the Optionee’s heirs do not exercise the Option within three (3) months (or such other period as may be required by the SAFE) of the Optionee’s death or date of termination in the event of disability, the Option will be forfeited and the Optionee or the Optionee’s heirs will not be able to exercise the Option.

The Optionee understands and agrees that there will be a delay between the date the Option Shares are sold and the date the cash proceeds are distributed to the Optionee.  The Optionee also understands and agrees that the Company is not responsible for any currency fluctuation that may occur between the date the Option Shares are sold and the date the cash proceeds are distributed to the Optionee.  The Optionee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in the PRC.

DENMARK

Danish Stock Option Act.  By participating in the Plan, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she received an Employer Statement translated into Danish, which is being provided to comply with the Danish Stock Option Act.  To the extent more favorable to the Optionee and required to comply with the Stock Option Act, the terms set forth in the Employer Statement will apply to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

Notice of Grant.  This provision supplements Section 8 in the Agreement:

By accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that this grant relates to future services to be performed and is not a bonus or compensation for past services.

Exchange Control and Tax Information.  The Optionee may hold Option Shares acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g., a brokerage account) either with a Danish bank or with an approved foreign broker or bank.  If the Option Shares are held with a non-Danish broker or bank, the Optionee is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the safety-deposit account.  For this purpose, the Optionee must file a Declaration V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration.  The Form V must be signed by the Optionee and may be signed by the bank/broker.  In the event that the applicable broker or bank with which the safety-deposit account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account and any Option Shares acquired at vesting and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Optionee’s annual income tax return.  By signing the Declaration V, the Optionee at the same time authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of the Declaration V can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=47392.

In addition, if the Optionee opens a deposit account or brokerage account for the purpose of holding cash outside Denmark, the bank or brokerage account, as applicable, will be treated as a deposit account because cash can be held in the account.  Therefore, the Optionee must also file a Declaration K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration.  Both the Optionee and the bank/broker must sign the Declaration K, unless an exemption from the broker/bank signature requirement is granted by the Danish Tax Administration.  It is possible to seek the exemption on the Form K, which the Optionee should do at the time he or she submits the Form K.  By signing the Declaration K, the Optionee (and the bank/broker to the extent the exemption is not granted) undertakes an obligation, without further request each year (no later than on 

VERSION 10/15    APPENDIX A - 3

February 1 of the year following the calendar year to which the information relates), to forward certain information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the deposit account.  In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker or bank) with which the account is held, does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Optionee’s annual income tax return.  By signing the Declaration K, the Optionee at the same time authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of Declaration K can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=42409&newwindow=true.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information.  If the Optionee establishes an account holding Option Shares or cash outside Denmark, the Optionee must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration.

The Optionee also understands that providing the Company with Data is mandatory for compliance with laws and is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that the Optionee’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.  The Controller of personal data processing is Analog Devices, Inc., with registered offices at Analog Devices, Inc., One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts, 02062 U.S.A. and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its Representative in Italy for privacy purposes is Analog Devices SRL with its registered offices at Centro Direzionale Milano 2, Palazzo Bernini 20090 Segrate, Milan, Italy.

NETHERLANDS
Nature of Grant.  This provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:  
By accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges that the Option is intended as an incentive for the Optionee to remain employed with the Employer and is not intended as remuneration for labor performed.

VERSION 10/15    APPENDIX A - 9

PHILIPPINES
Securities Law Information.  The securities being offered or sold herein have not been registered with the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission (“PSEC”) under its Securities Regulation Code (the “SRC”).  

The grant of Options is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 10.2 of the SRC that has been approved by the PSEC.  

The Optionee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Plan, which include (without limitation) the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Option Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) and the risk of currency fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Optionee’s local currency.  In this regard, the Optionee should note that the value of any Option Shares he or she may acquire under the Plan may decrease, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between his or her local currency and the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of the Options or any amounts due to him or her pursuant to the exercise of Options or the subsequent sale of any Option Shares acquired by him or her.  The Company is not making any representations, projections or assurances about the value of the Option Shares now or in the future.

For further information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the Option Shares, the Optionee should refer to the risk factors discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s website at http://investor.analog.com/sec.cfm.

The Optionee should also note that the sale or disposal of Option Shares acquired under the Plan may be subject to certain restrictions under Philippines securities laws.  Those restrictions should not apply if the offer and resale of Option Shares takes place outside of the Philippines through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Option Shares are listed.  The Option Shares are currently listed on NASDAQ.  The Company’s designated broker should be able to assist the Optionee in the sale of Option Shares on NASDAQ.  If the Optionee has questions with regard to the application of Philippines securities laws to the disposal or sale of Option Shares acquired under the Plan the Optionee should consult with his or her legal advisor.

ROMANIA

Exchange Control Information.  If the Optionee deposits the proceeds from the sale of Option Shares acquired at exercise of the Option in a bank account in Romania, the Optionee may be required to provide the Romanian bank with appropriate documentation explaining the source of the funds.  The Optionee should consult his or her personal advisor to determine whether he or she will be required to submit such documentation to the Romanian bank.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information.  The Options were granted to the Optionee pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”).  The Agreement and the Plan have not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  The Optionee should note that the Optionee’s Options are subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Optionee will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Option Shares unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA.

Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification.  If the Optionee is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or a director, associate director or shadow director of a subsidiary or other related company in Singapore, the Optionee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act.  Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore subsidiary in writing when the Optionee receives an interest (e.g., Options, Option Shares) in the Company or any related company.  In addition, the Optionee must notify the Singapore subsidiary when the Optionee sells Option Shares of the Company or any related company (including when the Optionee sells Option Shares acquired under the Plan).  These notifications must be made within two (2) business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company.  In addition, a notification must be made of the Optionee’s interests in the Company or any related company within two (2) business days of becoming a CEO or director.

VERSION 10/15    APPENDIX A - 10

SPAIN

No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation.  In accepting the Options, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.  The Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Options will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Options are granted on the assumption and condition that the Options and the underlying Option Shares acquired upon exercise shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, the Optionee understands that the Option would not have been granted to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee 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 Options shall be null and void.

Further, and except as provided in Section 3(g) of the Agreement in the event Optionee becomes Disabled, the vesting of the Option is expressly conditioned on the Optionee’s continued rendering of service, such that if the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Options will cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section 3 of the Agreement).  This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Optionee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without Cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (2) the Optionee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Optionee terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Optionee terminates service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or the Employer; or (5) the Optionee’s employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever.  Consequently, upon termination of the Optionee’s employment for any of the above reasons, the Optionee will automatically lose any rights to Options that were not vested on the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.  The Optionee understands that the Option grant would not be made to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee 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 grant shall be null and void.

The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in Section 3 of the Agreement.

Securities Law Notification.  The grant of Options and the Option Shares issued upon exercise of the Option are considered a private placement outside of the scope of Spanish laws on public offerings and issuances of securities. No “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory.  This Agreement has not been or will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Exchange Control Notification.  The Optionee acknowledges that he or she must declare any Option Shares that are acquired under the Plan to the Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (the “DGCI”).  After the initial declaration, the declaration must be filed with the DGCI on an annual basis each January while the Option Shares are owned; however, if the value of the Option Shares or the sale proceeds exceed a certain amount, a declaration must be filed within one month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information.  To the extent that the Optionee holds assets (e.g., cash or Option Shares held in a bank or brokerage account) outside Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of asset (e.g., Option Shares, cash, and so on) as of December 31 each year, the Optionee will be required to report information on such assets on his or her tax return for such year (tax form 720).  After such assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported assets increases by more than €20,000.  The reporting must be completed by March 31.  Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties to the Optionee.  Accordingly, the Optionee is advised to consult with his or her personal tax and legal advisors to ensure that he or she is properly complying with his or her reporting obligations.

Further, the Optionee is required to declare to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the securities held in such accounts if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceeds €1,000,000.  

SWEDEN
Automatic Cashless Exercise and Sale.  This Option grant is conditioned upon the Optionee’s consent to the automatic cashless exercise, which the Company will provide to the Optionee.  If the Company does not receive the Optionee’s signed consent within the deadline set forth therein, the Option will terminate and will become null and void. 

VERSION 10/15    APPENDIX A - 11

TAIWAN

Data Privacy.  The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has read and understands the terms regarding collection, processing and transfer of Data contained in the Data Privacy section of the Agreement and agrees that, upon the request of the Company or the Employer, the Optionee will provide any executed data privacy consent form to the Employer or the Company (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Employer or the Company) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws in the Optionee's country, either now or in the future.  The Optionee understands he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Optionee fails to execute any such consent or agreement. 

Securities Law Information.  The option and participation in the Plan is made available only to employees of the Company and the Employer.  It is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.  Therefore, it is exempt from registration in Taiwan. 

Exchange Control Information.  Individuals may acquire foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of Option Shares) 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, the Optionee must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form and also provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.

TURKEY

Manner of Exercising Option.  This provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:

Due to legal restrictions in Turkey, Optionee may be required to exercise his or her option using the cashless sell-all exercise method whereby all Option Shares subject to the exercised option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of the sale, less the Exercise Price, any Tax-Related Items and broker's fees or commissions will be remitted to Optionee in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations. Optionee will not be permitted to acquire and hold Option Shares after exercise.  Company reserves the right to provide additional methods of exercise to Optionee depending on the development of local law. 

Securities Law Information.  Under Turkish law, the Optionee is not permitted to sell any Option Shares acquired under the Plan in Turkey.  The Option Shares are currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, under the ticker symbol “ADI” and the Option Shares may be sold through this exchange.

Exchange Control Information.  The Optionee may be required to engage a Turkish financial intermediary to assist with the sale of Option Shares acquired under the Plan.  As the Optionee is solely responsible for complying with any applicable financial intermediary requirements, the Optionee should consider consulting his or her personal legal advisor prior to the exercise of the Options or any sale of Option Shares to ensure compliance.

UNITED KINGDOM

Joint Election.  As a condition of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the exercise of the Option, the Optionee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Option and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer’s Liability”).  Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Optionee agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or elections.  The Optionee further agrees to enter into such other Joint Elections as may be required between the Optionee and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer.  The Optionee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer’s Liability from the Optionee by any of the means set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement.
If the Optionee does not enter into the Joint Election prior to the exercise of the Option, the Optionee will forfeit the Option and any Option Shares that have been issued will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company, without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer.
If the Optionee has signed a Joint Election in the past with respect to Options granted to him or her by the Company and that Joint Election applies to all grants made under the Plan, the Optionee need not sign another Joint Election in connection with this Option grant
