control; provided, however, that in such event, the cash or shares distributed 
shall be limited to those amounts necessary to accommodate the financial 
hardship, as determined by the Secretary.

Section 9.  Death of Director.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the death of a Director prior 
to receipt by such Director of the full amount of cash and number of shares to 
be distributed to the Director, all such cash and/or shares will be 
distributed to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Director, or 
if no beneficiary has been designated, to the Director's estate as soon as 
practicable following the month in which the death occurred.

Section 10.  Accounts Unsecured.

Until distributed, all amounts credited to any Cash Accounts or represented by 
units credited to any Stock Unit Account shall be property of TI, available 
for TI's use, and subject to the claims of TI's general creditors.  The rights 
of any Director or beneficiary to distributions under this Plan are not 
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, or 
encumbrance, and shall not be subject to the debts or liabilities of any 
Director or beneficiary.

Section 11.  Certain Rights Reserved by TI.

TI reserves the right to suspend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time, 
and, in such event, shall have the right to distribute to each Director all 
amounts in such Director's Cash Account or shares of TI common stock 
equivalent to units in such Director's Stock Unit Account, including, in the 
case of Stock Unit Accounts, the right to distribute cash equivalent to the 
units in such Accounts.

In the event that any Director terminates his or her membership on the Board 
and becomes affiliated with a government agency or with any private company or 
firm that the Board Organization and Nominating Committee believes to be in 
competition with TI, the Board may, at its discretion, require a distribution 
of all amounts in any Director's Cash Account or shares equivalent to units in 
such Director's Stock Unit Account.

Section 13.  Administration and Interpretation of Plan.

The Secretary shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and 
administer this Plan.  The Secretary may issue rules and regulations for 
administration of the Plan.  All decisions of the Secretary shall be final, 
conclusive and binding upon all parties, including the Company, the 
stockholders and the directors.  In the event of the absence or inability to 
act of the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary shall have the authority to act 
in his place.

Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Secretary shall have 
full power and authority to:  (i) interpret and administer the Plan and any 
instrument or agreement relating thereto; (ii) establish, amend, suspend or 

waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Secretary 
shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and

As Adopted April 16, 1998

The purpose of the Texas Instruments Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee 
Directors (the "Plan") is to increase the proprietary and vested interest of

in the growth and performance of the Company by granting such directors 
options to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company, $1.00 par value 
("Shares").

Section 1.  Administration.

     The Plan shall be administered by the Secretary of the Company (the 
"Secretary").  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Secretary shall have 
full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan.  The 
Secretary may issue rules and regulations for administration of the Plan.  All 
decisions of the Secretary shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all 
parties, including the Company, the stockholders and the directors.  In the 
event of the absence or inability of the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary 
shall have the authority to act in his place.

     Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Secretary shall 
have full power and authority to: (i) interpret and administer the Plan and 
any instrument or agreement relating to, or options to purchase common stock 
of the Company granted under, the Plan; (ii) establish amend, suspend or waive 
such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Secretary shall deem 
appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (iii) make any 
other determination and take any other action that the Secretary deems 
necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

Section 2.  Eligibility.

     A member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") who is 
not an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries shall be eligible for grant 
of options under the Plan ("Eligible Director").  Any holder of an option 
granted hereunder shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Participant."

Section 3.  Shares Subject to the Plan.

     The Shares deliverable upon the exercise of options will be made available
 from treasury Shares.  

Section 4.  Option Grants.

     Each individual who is an Eligible Director will be granted an option to 
purchase 5,000 Shares as of the date of each regular January meeting of the 
Compensation Committee of the Board or any successor committee (the 
"Compensation Committee") following the effective date of the Plan or, if no 
such January meeting is held, as of the date of the first meeting of the 
Compensation Committee during a calendar year.  The options granted will be 
nonstatutory stock options not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the 

                                       1
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and shall have the 
following terms and conditions:

          (a)     Price.  The Purchase price per share of Shares deliverable 
                  upon the exercise of each option shall be 100% of the Fair 
                  Market Value per share of the Shares on the date the option 
                  is granted.  For purposes of this Plan, Fair Market Value 
                  shall be determined to be equal to the simple average of the 
                  high and low prices of the Shares on the date of grant (or, 
                  if there is no trading on the New York Stock Exchange on 
                  such date, then on the first previous date on which there is 
                  such trading) as reported in "New York Stock Exchange 
                  Composite Transactions" in "The Wall Street Journal," 
                  rounded upward to the next whole cent if such Fair Market 
                  Value should include a fraction of a cent.

          (b)     Payment.  The Secretary shall determine the method or 
                  methods by which, and the form or forms, including, without 
                  limitation, cash, Shares, or other property, or any 
                  combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the 
                  exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which 
                  payment of the exercise price with respect to an option may 
                  be made or deemed to have been made.

          (c)     Exercisability and Term of Options.  Subject to 
                  Section 4(d), options shall become exercisable in four equal 
                  annual installments commencing on the first anniversary date 
                  of the grant, provided the holder of such option remains an 
                  Eligible Director until such anniversary date, and shall be 
                  exercisable until ten years from the date of grant.

          (d)     Termination of Service as Eligible Director.  The effect of 
                  a Participant's termination of service as a director of the 
                  Company shall be as follows:

                       (i)  Termination for cause:  All outstanding options 
                       held by the Participant shall be canceled immediately 
                       upon termination.

                       (ii)  Death:  All outstanding options held by the 
                       Participant shall continue to full term, becoming 
                       exercisable in accordance with Section 4(c), and shall 
                       be exercisable by such Participant's heirs.

                       (iii)  Permanent disability:  All outstanding options 
                       held by the Participant shall continue to full term, 
                       becoming exercisable in accordance with Section 4(c).

                       (iv)  Termination after 8 years of service:  Any 
                       outstanding option held by the Participant for at least 
                       six months after the grant of such option shall 
                       continue to full term, becoming exercisable in 
                       accordance with Section 4(c).

                       (v)  Termination by reason of ineligibility to stand 
                       for reelection under the Company's by-laws:  Any 
                       outstanding option held by the Participant for at least 
                       six months after the grant of such option shall 

                       continue to full term, becoming exercisable in 
                       accordance with Section 4(c).

                                       2
                       (vi)  Other:  For any termination other than those 
                       specified above, all outstanding options held by the 
                       Participant shall be exercisable for 30 days after the 
                       date of termination, only to the extent that such 
                       options were exercisable on the date of termination, 
                       except as follows:

                            (A)  If the Participant dies within 30 days after 
                            his or her termination, then such Participant's 
                            heirs may exercise the options for a period of up 
                            to one year after the Participant's death, but 
                            only to the extent any unexercised portion was  
                            exercisable on the date of termination.

                            (B)  If the Participant's termination occurs 
                            within 30 days before the effective date of a 
                            Change in Control (as defined in Section 6), then 
                            the Change in Control will be deemed to have 
                            occurred first and the options shall be 
                            exercisable in accordance with Section 4(c).

          (e)     Non-transferability of Options.  No option shall be 
                  transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws 
                  of descent and distribution, and during the Participant's 
                  lifetime may be exercised only by Participant or, if 
                  permissible under applicable law, by the Participant's legal 
                  guardian or representative.

          (f)     Option Agreement.  Each option granted hereunder shall be 
                  evidenced by an agreement with the Company which shall 
                  contain the terms and provisions set forth herein and shall 
                  otherwise be consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

Section 5.  Adjustment of and Changes in Shares.

     In the event that the Secretary shall determine that any dividend or 
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or 
other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, 
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, 
repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance 
of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the 
Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares 
such that an adjustment is determined by the Secretary to be appropriate in 
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits 
intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Secretary shall, in 
such manner as he or she may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (a) the 
number and type of Shares subject to outstanding options, and (b) the exercise 
price with respect to any option or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for 
a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding option; provided, however, that 
no fractional Shares shall be issued or outstanding hereunder.  
Notwithstanding any such corporate transaction or event, no adjustment shall 
be made in the number of Shares subject to options to be granted to new 
directors who are elected after the occurrence of any such corporate 
transaction or event.

Section 6.  Change of Control.

     The provisions of Section 4(c) shall not apply and options outstanding 
under the Plan shall be exercisable in full if a Change in Control occurs.  
Change in Control means an event when (a) any Person, alone or together with 

                                       3
its Affiliates and Associates or otherwise, shall become an Acquiring Person 
otherwise than pursuant to a transaction or agreement approved by the Board of 
Directors of the Company prior to the time the Acquiring Person became such, 
or (b) a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company shall change within 
any 24-month period unless the election or the nomination for election by the 
Company's stockholders of each new director has been approved by a vote of at 
least a majority of the directors then still in office who were directors at 
the beginning of the period.  For the purposes hereof, the terms Person, 
Affiliates, Associates and Acquiring Person shall have the meanings given to 
such terms in the Rights Agreement dated as of June 17, 1988 between the 
Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, successor in interest to First 
Chicago Trust Company of New York, (formerly Morgan Shareholder Services Trust 
Company), as in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that if the 
percentage employed in the definition of Acquiring Person is reduced hereafter 
from 20% in such Rights Agreement, then such reduction shall also be 
applicable for the purposes hereof.

Section 7.  No Rights of Stockholders.

     Neither a Participant nor a Participant's legal representative shall be, 
or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in 
respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any option, in whole or 
in part, unless and until certificates for such shares shall have been issued.

Section 8.  Plan Amendments.

     The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan 
without the consent of any stockholder or Participant or other person: 
provided, however, that no such action shall impair the rights under any 
option theretofore granted under the Plan and that, notwithstanding any other 
provision of the Plan or any option agreement, no such amendment, alteration, 
suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made that would permit 
options to be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than the Fair 
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant thereof.

Section 9.  Effective Date.

     The Plan shall become effective on April 16, 1998.  The Plan shall 
terminate April 16, 2003 unless the Plan is extended or terminated at an 
earlier date.

Section 10.  No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.

     Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or 
continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such 
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific 
cases.

Section 11.  Governing Law.

     The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and 
regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the 
laws of the State of Delaware and applicable Federal law.

Section 12.  Severability.

     If any provision of the Plan or any option is or becomes or is deemed to 
be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person 
or option, or would disqualify the Plan or any option under any law deemed 

                                       4
applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended 
to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed 
amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the 
intent of the Plan or the option, such provision shall be stricken as to such 
jurisdiction, person or option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such 
option shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 13.  No Right to Continued Board Membership.

     The grant of options shall not be construed as giving a participant the 
right to be retained as a director of the Company.  The Board may at any time 
fail or refuse to nominate a participant for election to the Board, and the 
stockholders of the Company may at any election fail or refuse to elect any 
participant to the Board free from any liability or claim under this Plan or

Company and a participant or any other person.  To the extent that any person 
acquires a right to receive options, or Shares pursuant to options, from the
