RECITALS

WHEREAS, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim")  became the successor to Dallas Semiconductor

WHEREAS, the Plan  provides for retiree (and limited other) medical care benefits to  board members, officers, certain

and dependents;

WHEREAS,  Maxim desires to further amend the Plan to  provide medical care benefits under the Plan to former
executives of Maxim or any of its subsidiary or affiliated companies, designated as eligible to participate in the Plan (and to their
Dependents); and

WHEREAS, Section 12.1 of the Plan permits the Sponsor to amend the Plan without the consent of any Participant or
Covered Dependent, provided that the amendment does not reduce coverage, or decrease the number of Participants or Covered
Dependents.  

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing Recitals, the Plan is hereby amended as follows effective July 28, 2008 or
such other dates as noted below:

	All capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

	In Article II, Definitions, a new Section 2.18A shall be added to the Plan to read as follows:  

"2.18A `Former Executive' means an individual who is a former executive of the Sponsor or an Employer and has
been designated as eligible to participate in the Plan by the Chief Executive Officer

of the Sponsor or an Employer, as applicable, or his
or her delegate. Each person who is a Former Executive shall be listed on Exhibit G, as amended from time to time."  

	In Article II, Definitions, Section 2.7 entitled "Dependent " shall be modified by adding the following new sentence to the
end to read as follows:  

"Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of Dependent, and except as otherwise provided in a written agreement between the
Former Executive and the Sponsor or an Employer, the Dependent of an Outside Director or a Former Executive means the Outside
Director's or the Former Executive's Spouse and each other individual who would qualify as a "dependent" under the Plan
determined at the time the Outside Director or the Former Executive first becomes a Participant in this Plan, and no other person who
becomes a spouse or dependent of an Outside Director or Former Executive after that time shall be eligible for coverage under this
Plan."

	In Article II, Definitions, Section 2.11 entitled "Eligible Individual" shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:  

"`Eligible Individual' means a Board Member, an Outside Director, a Former Executive or an Eligible Retiree, as
appropriate, who has satisfied (i) the requirements of Article III to be eligible to participate in the Plan and (ii) the eligibility requirements
stated in the Policy."    

	In Article II, Definitions, Section 2.15 entitled "Enrollment Period" shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the

required to complete administrative forms necessary or appropriate to  reflect participation in the Plan."           

	In Article II, Definitions, a new Section 2.24A shall be added to the Plan effective March 1, 2006 to read as

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and successor by merger to Dallas Semiconductor Corporation, or any
successor or assign which shall adopt the Plan."

	In Article II, Definitions, Section 2.17 entitled "Spouse" shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

"`Spouse' means the wife of an Officer or of a Board Member on the date of his retirement.  Each person who was a
Spouse on the Effective Date is listed on Exhibit E, but being listed on Exhibit E does not make an individual a Spouse for
purposes of this Plan.  In addition, Spouse means the person to whom an Outside Director or a Former Executive is married on the
date coverage commences under the Plan and no other person who becomes a spouse of an Outside Director or Former Executive
after that time shall be eligible for coverage under this Plan.  In addition, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between the
Former Executive and the Participating Employer, the Spouse may also be the surviving Spouse at the time of the Former Executive's

                                                    4

(c)Outside Directors.  An Outside Director shall be a Participant and receive coverage under this Plan for so
long as such  Outside Director remains on the board of directors of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and is not otherwise eligible for
medical benefits provided by the Sponsor or any other Participating Employer.  The Spouse and Covered Dependents of an Outside
Director shall receive coverage under the Plan only for the period that the Outside Director is a Participant.  Notwithstanding anything in

plans;

(iii)the Former Executive becomes an employee of another organization in which the Former Executive is eligible for coverage
under that organization's medical plan;

                                                    5

or

(x)such other event set forth in a written agreement between the Former Executive and the Sponsor or other Employer.

	Article X, Funding, is amended to read as follows in its entirety:

(a)Except for Board Members, Officers and their Spouses, the Plan shall be funded all or in part by contributions from
Participants and their Covered Dependents.

(b)Former Executives, Outside Directors and their Covered Dependents may be required to pay the same amount as an
eligible employee pays for coverage under the Sponsor's group medical plan or the full cost of coverage without any subsidy as set
forth in a written agreement between the Former Executive or the Outside Director and the Sponsor or other Employer.  In the absence
of such an agreement, the Former Executive, the Outside Director or the surviving Spouse of a Former Executive or Outside Director
shall:

(i)make payments in the same amount that a full-time regular employee would pay for comparable coverage under the
Sponsor's group medical plan for a period of ten (10) years or, if less, the coverage period; and

(ii) on and after the tenth anniversary of participation in the Plan, make payments in an amount equal to the cost of coverage
that would satisfy the premium requirements of Code section 4980B(f)(4) and ERISA section 604 and described in Section 9.5 above.

(c)The Plan shall become the secondary payer and Medicare shall become the primary payer of medical expenses incurred by
a Former Executive (and the Spouse of a Former

                                                    6

Executive) as of the date that the Former Executive (and, when applicable, the
Spouse of a Former Executive) attains the age of 65 years until such time as the Former Executive's (or the Spouse's) participation in
this Plan terminates.

(d)In the case of a Board Member, an Officer or a Spouse of a Board Member or Officer, notwithstanding anything in the Plan
or any other agreement to the contrary, the Sponsor will pay (i) all of the cost of all of the Plan's benefits and coverages for that
individual for that individual's lifetime and (ii) to the individual, an additional sum in the amount necessary to reimburse such individual
for any federal income tax liability resulting from (or associated with) the Sponsor's payments to or for the benefit of the individual under
this Plan, so that the benefits and coverages under this Plan for that individual are provided at no cost to that individual.

(d)The Employers shall have no obligation, but shall have the right, to establish a special trust or fund out of which benefits
shall be paid.  The Employers shall have no obligation, but shall have the right, to reinsure, or to purchase any type of additional
coverage with respect to any benefits under the Plan.  To the extent the Employer elects to purchase insurance for any benefits under
the Plan, any such benefits shall be the sole responsibility of the insurer, and the Employer shall have no responsibility for the payment
of such benefits (except for refunding any Participant contributions that were not remitted to an insurer).

	Article XII, Section 12.1, is amended to add the following new penultimate sentence to read as follows:

"Notwithstanding the preceding sentence to the contrary, the Sponsor may amend the elections, coverages or benefits
available, or the terms and conditions of the Plan that affect Former Executives, Outside Directors and their Covered Dependents even
if the effect of the amendment is to reduce coverages or benefits or decrease the number or class of individuals who may be
Participants or Covered Dependents unless otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions in a separate written agreement between
the Sponsor and the Former Executive or the Outside Director and his or her Covered Dependents, in which case such amendment
shall be effective only with the written consent of the Former Executive or the Outside Director and, if required, the Former Executive's
or the Outside Director's Spouse."

                                                    7

	Article XII, Section 12.2, is amended to permit the Sponsor to terminate or discontinue the Plan without the need to obtain the
express, prior written consent of any Participant who is a Former Executive, an Outside Director or the Covered Dependents of a
Former Executive or an Outside Director and reads as follows:

"12.2Termination of Plan.  The Sponsor may terminate or discontinue this Plan at any time, if
necessary, only by a written instrument signed by its authorized officer and only with the express, prior written consent of all
Participants and Covered Dependents (other than Former Executives, Outside Directors or their Covered Dependents) at the effective
date of the termination or discontinuation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor may terminate or discontinue the Plan at any time
without the consent of any Former Executive or Outside Director, or the Covered Dependents of any Former Executive or Outside
Director unless otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions in a separate written agreement between the Sponsor and the Former
Executive or the Outside Director and his or her Covered Dependents, in which case such termination shall be effective only with the
written consent of the Former Executive or the Outside Director and, if required, the Former Executive's or the Outside Director's
Spouse.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, coverages and benefits provided under this Plan are to be continued for
the life of each Board Member, each Officer and each Spouse of a Board Member and Officer, and the Plan and the Sponsor's
obligations under the Plan may not be terminated or discontinued without the express, prior written consent of each Board Member,
Officer and their Spouses.  Upon termination or discontinuance of the Plan as permitted by this Section, all elections shall terminate,
and reimbursements or payments of Qualified Medical Expenses shall be made only in accordance with Article 11."

	The provisions of Sections 13.11 shall not apply to Former Executives, Outside Directors or their Covered Dependents.

	Except as expressly modified by this Amendment Four, all other terms and conditions of the Plan, as amended, shall remain in full
force and effect; provided, however, other provisions in the Plan shall be deemed to be amended to permit Former Executives (and
their Dependents) to be afforded medical coverage under the Plan to the extent necessary. 

                                                    8

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized officer on the
5th day of August, 2008.
