The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors which

Committee shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and 
administer the Plan.  It may issue rules and regulations for administration of 
the Plan.  It shall meet at such times and places as it may determine.  A

Shares Available for Awards

Subject to adjustment as provided below:

(a)     Number of Shares Available

        (i)  Overall.  The number of Shares available for granting Awards 
             (including Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 
             and Other Stock-Based Awards) under the Plan during the term of 
             the Plan shall be 18,500,000 shares.  If, after the effective 
             date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an award granted under 
             the Plan, or by an option granted under the Company's 1984 or 
             1988 Stock Option Plans, or an award granted under the Company's 
             Long-Term Incentive Plan adopted April 15, 1993, or to which such 
             an award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award or such an 
             option otherwise terminates without the delivery of Shares or of 
             other consideration, then the Shares covered by such award or 
             option, or to which such award relates, or the number of Shares 
             otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares 
             available under the Plan with respect to such award, to the 
             extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be, or 
             shall become, available for granting awards under the Plan to 
             the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3.

       (ii)  Additional Restriction.  The maximum number of Shares that may be 
             awarded under paragraph (b), "Restricted Stock and Restricted 
             Stock Units", and paragraph (d), "Other Stock-Based Awards", 
             under the heading "Awards" below during the term of the Plan 
             shall be 2,000,000 shares.

(b)     Accounting for Awards

For purposes of this section:

        (i)  If an Award is denominated in Shares, the number of Shares 
             covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, shall be 
             counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate 
             number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan; 
             and

       (ii)  Awards not denominated in Shares shall be counted against the 
             aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under 
             the Plan in such amount and at such time as the Committee shall 
             determine under procedures adopted by the Committee consistent 
             with the purposes of the Plan;

provided, however, that Awards that operate in tandem with (whether granted 
simultaneously with or at a different time from) other Awards may be counted 

                                       4

or not counted under procedures adopted by the Committee in order to avoid 
double counting.  Any Shares that are delivered by the Company, and any Awards 
that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company, through the 
assumption by the Company of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards 
previously granted by an acquired company shall not, except in the case of 
Awards granted to employees who are officers or directors of the Company for 
purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, be 
counted against the Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan.

(c)     Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards

Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of 
authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

(d)     Adjustments

In the event that the Committee 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 Committee 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 Committee shall, in such manner as it may 
deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or 
other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of 
Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) 
subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise 
price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for 
a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, however, in 
each case, that with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options no such 
adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause 
the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or any successor provision 
thereof; and provided further, that the number of Shares subject to any Award 
denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

Awards

(a)     Options.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to 
Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such additional 
terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of 
the Plan, as the Committee shall determine:

        (i)  Exercise Price.  The purchase price per Share purchasable under 
             an Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, 
             however, that, except in the case of Options granted through 
             assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards 
             previously granted by an acquired company, such purchase price 
             shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the 
             date of grant of such Option.

       (ii)  Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the 
             Committee.

                                       5

      (iii)  Time and Method of Exercise.  The Committee shall determine the 
             time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in 
             part, and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, 
             including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards, 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 thereto may 
             be made or deemed to have been made.

       (iv)  Incentive Stock Options.  The terms of any Incentive Stock Option 
             granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the 
             provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor 
             provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b)     Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

        (i)  Issuance.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of 
             Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Participants.

       (ii)  Restrictions.  Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock 
             Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may 
             impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the 
             right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to 
             receive any dividend or other right or property), which 
             restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time 
             or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may 
             deem appropriate.  However, the minimum vesting period for 
             Restricted Stock Units granted under this Plan shall be three 
             years.

      (iii)  Registration.  Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be 
             evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate 
             including, without limitation, book-entry registration or 
             issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the event 
             any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of 
             Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall 
             be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an 
             appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and 
             restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

       (iv)  Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, 
             upon termination of employment (as determined under criteria 
             established by the Committee) for any reason during the 
             applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock and 
             all Restricted Stock Units still, in either case, subject to 
             restriction shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; 
             provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a 
             waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in 
             whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect 
             to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.  
             Unrestricted Shares, evidenced in such manner as the Committee 
             shall deem appropriate, shall be delivered to the holder of 
             Restricted Stock promptly after such Restricted Stock shall 

             become Released Securities.

(c)     Performance Units.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant 
Performance Units to Participants.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, a 

                                       6

Performance Unit granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in 
cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock), other 
securities, other Awards, or other property and (ii) shall confer on the 
holder thereof rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or 
exercisable by, the holder of the Performance Unit, in whole or in part, upon 
the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as 
the Committee shall establish.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the 
performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of 
any performance period, the amount of any Performance Unit granted and the 
amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Unit 
shall be determined by the Committee.

(d)     Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant 
to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, stock 
appreciation rights) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in 
part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, 
without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the 
Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.  Subject to the 
terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of 
such Awards.  Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase 
right granted under this paragraph (d) shall be purchased for such 
consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or 
forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other 
Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall 
determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee, 
shall, except in the case of Awards granted through assumption of, or in 
substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired 
company, not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other 
securities as of the date such purchase right is granted. 

(e)     General.

        (i)  No Cash Consideration for Awards.  Awards shall be granted for no 
             cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may 
             be required by applicable law.

       (ii)  Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.  Awards may, in the 
             discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in 
             addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award 
             granted under any other plan of the Company.  Awards granted in 
             addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or 
             in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the 
             Company, may be granted either at the same time as or at a 
             different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

      (iii)  Forms of Payment Under Awards.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, 
             payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, 
             exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms 
             as the Committee shall determine including, without limitation, 
             cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, 

             or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment 
             or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each 
             case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the 
             Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without 
             limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable 
             interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or 
             crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or 
             deferred payments.

                                       7

       (iv)  Limits on Transfer of Awards.  No Award (other than Released 
             Securities), and no right under any such Award, shall be 
             assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant 
             otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution 
             (or, in the case of an Award of Restricted Securities, to the 
             Company); provided, however, that, if so determined by the 
             Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the 
             Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise 
             the rights of the Participant, and to receive any property 
             distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the 
             Participant.  Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall 
             be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the 
             Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the 
             Participant's guardian or legal representative.  No Award (other 
             than Released Securities), and no right under any such Award, may 
             be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any 
             purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof 
             shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

        (v)  Term of Awards.  The term of each Award shall be for such period 
             as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in 
             no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option exceed a 
             period of ten years from the date of its grant.

       (vi)  Share Certificates.  All certificates for Shares or other 
             securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the 
             exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders 
             and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under 
             the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the 
             Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which 
             such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any 
             applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee 
             may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates 
             to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

      (vii)  Performance Measures for Selected Awards.  Every award other than 
             an option or stock appreciation right to a member of the 
             Executive Group (defined below) shall include a pre-established 
             formula, such that payment, retention or vesting of the award is 
             subject to the achievement during a performance period or 
             periods, as determined by the Committee, of a level or levels, as 
             determined by the Committee, of one or more of the following 
             performance measures, as determined by the Committee:  (i) return 
             on net assets, (ii) revenue growth, (iii)  return on common 
             equity, (iv) total shareholder return, (v) earnings per share, 
             (vi) cycle time improvement, (vii) manufacturing process yield, 
             (viii) net revenue per employee or (ix) market share.  The 

             "Executive Group" shall include every person who, at the time 
             such pre-established formula is determined, is expected by the 
             Committee to be both (a) a "covered employee" as defined in 
             Section 162(m) of the Code as of the end of the taxable year in 
             which payment of the award may be deducted by the Company, and 
             (b) the recipient of compensation of more than $1,000,000 for 
             that taxable year.  For awards in the form of options or stock 
             appreciation rights, no more than 500,000 shares can be granted 
             under this Plan to any participant in any one year.  For other 
             awards denominated in stock, no more than 50,000 shares can be 

                                       8

             granted under this Plan to any participant in any one year.  For 
             all other awards, no more than $5,000,000 can be paid under this 
             Plan to any participant in any one year.

Amendment and Termination

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise 
expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:

(a)     Amendments to the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company may 
amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan,  without the consent 
of any share owner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or 
other person; provided, however, that, no such action shall impair the rights 
under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan and that, notwithstanding 
any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, without the approval 
of the stockholders of the Company no such amendment, alteration, suspension, 
discontinuation or termination shall be made that would:

        (i)  Increase the total number of Shares available for Awards under 
             the Plan, except as provided under the heading "Shares Available 
             for Awards" above; or

       (ii)  permit Options or other Stock-Based Awards encompassing rights to 
             purchase Shares to be granted with per Share grant, purchase, or 
             exercise prices of less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on 
             the date of grant thereof, except to the extent permitted in 
             paragraphs (a) or (d) under the heading "Awards" above.

(b)     Amendments to Awards.  The Committee may waive any conditions or 
rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or 
terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, 
without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an 
Award, provided that no such action shall impair the rights of any relevant 
Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under 
the Plan; and provided further that, except as provided for in paragraph (d) 
under the heading "Shares Available for Awards" above and in paragraph (c) 
below, no such action shall reduce the exercise price of any Option.

(c)     Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or 
Nonrecurring Events.  The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in 
the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in 
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, 
the events described in paragraph (d) under the heading "Shares Available for 
Awards" above) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the 

Company, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting 
principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are 
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or 
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

(d)     Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.  The Committee 
may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in 
the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable 
to carry the Plan into effect.

                                       9

General Provisions

(a)     No Rights to Awards.  No employee, Participant or other person shall 
have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no 
obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, Participants, or holders 
or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan.  The terms and conditions of Awards 
need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b)     Delegation.  The Committee may delegate to one or more officers or 
managers of the Company, or a committee of such officers or managers, the 
authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall 
determine, to grant Awards to, or to cancel, modify, waive rights with respect 
to, alter, discontinue, suspend or terminate Awards held by, employees who are 
not officers or directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, that any delegation to 
management shall conform with the requirements of the General Corporation Law 
of Delaware, as in effect from time to time.

(c)     Withholding.  The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any 
Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the 
Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other 
property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or 
any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such 
other action (including, without limitation, providing for elective payment of 
such amounts in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property 
by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to 
satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(d)     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.

(e)     No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed 
as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company. 
Further, the Company may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, 
free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise 
expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

(f)     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.

(g)     Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes 
or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or 
as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any 
law deemed applicable by the Committee, 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 Committee, materially 
altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken 
as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and 
any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(h)     No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create 
or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary 
relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person.  To 
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the 

                                       10

Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of 
any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(i)     No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or 
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine 
whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred 
in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any 
rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the stockholders 
of the Company.

Term of the Plan

No Award shall be granted under the Plan after April 18, 2006.  However, 
unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award 
Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the 
authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or 
terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such 
Award, and the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to amend the 
Plan, shall extend beyond such date.TXN - 12.31.2011 - Exhibit 10(h)

EXHIBIT 10(h)
                                                                 
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT PLAN
FOR DIRECTORS

As Amended April 16, 1998

The Texas Instruments Restricted Stock Unit Plan for Directors is designed to 
enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain exceptionally 
qualified individuals and to encourage them to acquire a proprietary interest 
in the growth and performance of the Company.

For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise indicated, the term "Company" 
shall mean Texas Instruments Incorporated.  

Eligibility

All directors of the Company who are not during the term of this Plan and who 
have not previously been officers or employees of the Company shall participate 
in this Plan.  

Definitions

As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth:

(a)     "Fair Market Value" shall mean, with respect to any Shares, the simple 
        average of the high and low prices of such Shares on the date of grant 
        of Restricted Stock Units (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";

(b)     "Restricted Stock Units" shall mean any Units  granted under 
        paragraphs (a)  or (b) under the heading "Grants of Restricted Stock 
        Units" set forth below; and

(c)     "Shares" shall mean shares of the common stock of the Company, $1.00 
        par value.

Administration of Plan

This Plan shall be administered by the Secretary of the Company (the 
"Secretary").  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 Corporate Secretary, any Assistant Secretary shall have the authority to 
act in his place.

                                       1

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 Restricted Stock Units 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 this Plan.  

Restricted Stock Units Available for Grant

Subject to adjustment as provided below:

(a)     Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Restricted Stock Units.  Any Shares 
delivered pursuant to the settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall consist of 
treasury Shares.

(b)     Adjustments.  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  the number of  outstanding 
Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that no fractional Restricted Stock 
Units shall be issued or outstanding hereunder.  Notwithstanding any such 
corporate transaction or event, no adjustment shall be made in the number of 
Restricted Stock Units to be granted to new directors who are elected after the 
occurrence of any such corporate transaction or event. 

Grants of Restricted Stock Units

(a)     Initial Grants of Restricted Stock Units.  The Company, as of the 
        effective date of this Plan, shall grant to each then current director 
        of the Company 1000 Restricted Stock Units.  Each Restricted Stock Unit 
        shall be paid or settled by the issuance of one Share upon the 
        termination of such recipient's service as a director of the Company, 
        provided that such termination of service shall have occurred (i) after 
        the age at which a director is ineligible under the Company's by-laws 
        to stand for reelection to the Board, (ii) after the completion of at 
        least eight years of service as a director of the Company or (iii) as a 
        result of the death or disability of the director.  In the event such 
        recipient's membership on the Board of Directors of the Company shall 
        terminate  prior to the attainment of the age for ineligibility for 
        reelection and prior to the completion of eight years of service as a 
        director for reasons other than death or disability, such Restricted 
        Stock Units shall terminate and all of the rights, title and interest 
        of the recipient thereunder shall be forfeited in their entirety.  
        Following the effective date of this Plan, each new director shall, 
        effective as of the date of such individual's initial election or 

                                      2

        appointment to the Board of Directors, be granted 2000  Restricted 
        Stock Units  which shall be subject to the same terms and restrictions 
        as are described in this paragraph (a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
        in no event shall Shares be issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit 
        granted under this paragraph (a)  if a director's service on the board 
        shall terminate within less than six months after the date of grant for 
        any reason other than death or disability.

(b)     Grants of Restricted Stock Units for Portion of Annual Retainer. As of 
        the date of the annual meeting of stockholders each year following the 
        effective date of this Plan, fifty percent (50%) of the annual retainer 
        (not including retainers for committee membership or committee chair) 
        payable to each director during the twelve-month period beginning May 1 
        of such year and ending April 30 of the following year shall be paid to 
        the director in the form of Restricted Stock Units.  Also, fifty 
        percent (50%) of each director's annual retainer for the period 
        beginning May 1, 1995 and ending April 30, 1996 remaining payable after 
        June 30 shall be paid to the director in the form of Restricted Stock 
        Units, which shall be granted as of the effective date of this Plan.  
        The number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted under this paragraph 
        (b) in each case shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of 
        annual retainer to be paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units by 
        (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Shares and shall be rounded up to the 
        next whole Restricted Stock Unit in the event such determination 
        results in a fraction of a Restricted Stock Unit.  Each such Restricted 
        Stock Unit shall provide for the issuance of one Share upon the 
        termination of the recipient's membership on the Board of Directors.  
        In the event a director's service on the Board shall terminate for any 
        reason during a year, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted for 
        such year shall be reduced proportionately, and the excess shall be 
        forfeited.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (b) shall no 
        longer be applicable after April 15, 1998.

(c)     Right to Dividend Equivalents.  Each recipient of  Restricted Stock 
        Units under this Plan shall have the right, during the period when such 
        Restricted Stock Units are outstanding and prior to the termination, 
        forfeiture or payment or settlement thereof, to receive dividend 
        equivalents equal to the amount or value of any cash or other 
        distributions or dividends payable on the same number of Shares.  The 
        Company shall accumulate dividend equivalents on each dividend payment 
        date and pay such accumulated amounts without interest annually.

(d)     Issuance of Shares Upon Lapse of Restrictions.  A stock certificate or 
        certificates shall be registered and issued in the name of the holder 
        of Restricted Stock Units and delivered to such holder as soon as 
        practicable after such Restricted Stock Units have become payable or 
        settleable in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(e)     Limits on Transfer of Restricted Stock Units.  No Restricted Stock 
        Units and no right under any Restricted Stock Units shall be 
        assignable, alienable, salable or transferable by a participant 
        otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  All 
        rights under any Restricted Stock Unit shall be exercisable during the 
        participant's lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under 
        applicable law, by the participant's guardian or legal representative. 

                                      3

        No Restricted Stock Unit and no right under any such Restricted Stock 
        Unit may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and 
        any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof 
        shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

(f)     Share Certificates.  All certificates for Shares delivered under the 
        Plan pursuant to any Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such 
        stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Secretary may deem 

        advisable under the Plan and the rules, regulations, and other 
        requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock 
        exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, 
        and any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Secretary 
        may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to 
        make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

Amendment and Termination

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless expressly provided 
in this Plan:

(a)     Amendments to the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company may 
        amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, without the 
        consent of any stockholder, participant, other holder or beneficiary of 
        Restricted Stock Units, or other person; provided, however, that, no 
        such action shall impair the rights under any Restricted Stock Units 
        theretofore granted under the Plan. 

(b)     Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.  The Secretary 
        may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any 
        inconsistency in the Plan or any Restricted Stock Units in the manner 
        and to the extent he or she shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into 
        effect.

General Provisions

(a)     Withholding.  The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any 
        Restricted Stock Units granted or any transfer made under any 
        Restricted Stock Units or under the Plan or from any dividend 
        equivalents to be paid on Restricted Stock Units the amount (in cash, 
        Shares, other securities, or other property) of any taxes required to 
        be withheld in respect of a grant, payment or settlement of Restricted 
        Stock Units or any payment of dividend equivalents under such 
        Restricted Stock Units or under the Plan and to take such other action 
        as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all 
        obligations for the payment of any such taxes.

(b)     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.

(c)     No Right to Continued Board Membership.  The grant of Restricted Stock 
        Units shall not be construed as giving a participant the right to be 
        retained as a director of the Company.  The Board of Directors may at 

                                      4

        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 any Restricted Stock Units.

(d)     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.

(e)     Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Restricted Stock 
        Unit is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or 
        unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or any 
        Restricted Stock Unit, or would disqualify the Plan or any Restricted 
        Stock Unit under any law deemed applicable by the Secretary, 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 Secretary, materially altering the intent of the 
        Plan or the Restricted Stock Unit, such provision shall be stricken as 
        to such jurisdiction, person or Restricted Stock Unit, and the 
        remainder of the Plan and any such Restricted Stock Unit shall remain 
        in full force and effect.

(f)     No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Restricted Stock 
        Units shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund 
        of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a 
        participant or any other person.  To the extent that any person 
        acquires a right to receive Restricted Stock Units, or Shares pursuant 
        to Restricted Stock Units, from the Company pursuant to this Plan, such 
        right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general 
        creditor of the Company.

(g)     No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or 
        delivered pursuant to the Plan.

Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan shall be effective as of June 15, 1995.

Term of the Plan

No Restricted Stock Units shall be granted under the Plan after April 18, 2006. 
However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in the restrictions 
applying to Restricted Stock Units previously issued, any Restricted Stock 
Units theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the 
Secretary to interpret, construe, administer and make determinations under this 
Plan, and the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to amend the 
Plan, shall extend beyond such date.
