Date and each individual who becomes a Director or Consultant thereafter during
the term of this Plan, shall be a participant (the "Participant") in this Plan,
in each case during such period as such individual remains a Director or

6. Deferral Option. From and after the Effective Date, a Participant may make an
election (a "Deferral Election") on an annual basis to defer delivery of the
Stock Retainer specifying which one of the following ways the Stock Retainer is
to be delivered (a) on the date which is three years after the Effective Date
for which it was originally payable (the "Third Anniversary"), (b) on the date

Election with respect to a particular Year may not be changed less than six
months prior to the beginning of such Year, and provided, further, that no more
than one Deferral Election or change thereof may be made in any Year.

<PAGE>

         Any Deferral Election and any change or revocation thereof shall be
made by delivering written notice thereof to the Committee no later than six
months prior to the beginning of the Year in which it is to be effected;
provided that, with respect to the Year beginning on the Effective Date, any
Deferral Election or revocation thereof must be delivered no later than the
close of business on the 30th day after the Effective Date.

7. Deferred Stock Accounts. The Company shall maintain a Deferred Stock Account
for each Participant who makes a Deferral Election to which shall be credited,
as of the applicable Payment Time, the number of shares of the Common Stock
payable pursuant to the Stock Retainer to which the Deferral Election relates.
So long as any amounts in such Deferred Stock Account have not been delivered to
the Participant under Paragraph 8 hereof, each Deferred Stock Account shall be
credited as of the payment date for any dividend paid or other distribution made
with respect to the Common Stock, with a number of shares of the Common Stock
equal to (a) the number of shares of the Common Stock shown in such Deferred
Stock Account on the record date for such dividend or distribution multiplied by
(b) the Dividend Equivalent for such dividend or distribution.

8.       Delivery of Shares.
         ------------------

                  (a) The shares of the Common Stock in a Participant's Deferred
Stock Account with respect to any Stock Retainer for which a Deferral Election
has been made (together with dividends attributable to such shares credited to
such Deferred Stock Account) shall be delivered in accordance with this
Paragraph 8 as soon as practicable after the applicable Delivery Date. Except
with respect to a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) hereof, or other
agreement between the parties, such shares shall be delivered at one time;
provided that, if the number of shares so delivered includes a fractional share,
such number shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. If the
Participant has in effect a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) hereof,
then such shares shall be delivered in five equal annual installments (together
with dividends attributable to such shares credited to such Deferred Stock
Account), with the first such installment being delivered on the first
anniversary of the Delivery Date; provided that, if in order to equalize such
installments, fractional shares would have to be delivered, such installments
shall be adjusted by rounding to the nearest whole share. If any such shares are
to be delivered after the Participant has died or become legally incompetent,
they shall be delivered to the Participant's estate or legal guardian, as the
case may be, in accordance with the foregoing; provided that, if the Participant
dies with a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) hereof in effect, the
Committee shall deliver all remaining undelivered shares to the Participant's
estate immediately. References to a Participant in this Plan shall be deemed to
refer to the Participant's estate or legal guardian, where appropriate.

         (b) The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a grantor
trust or utilize an existing grantor trust (in either case, "Trust") to assist
it in accumulating the shares of the Common Stock needed to fulfill its
obligations under this Paragraph 8. However, Participants shall have no
beneficial or other interest in the Trust and the assets thereof, and their
rights under this Plan shall be as general creditors of the Company, unaffected
by the existence or nonexistence of the Trust, except that deliveries of Stock
Retainers to Participants from the Trust shall, to the extent thereof, be
treated as satisfying the Company's obligations under this Paragraph 8.

<PAGE>

9. Share Certificates; Voting and Other Rights. The certificates for shares
delivered to a Participant pursuant to Paragraph 8 above shall be issued in the
name of the Participant, and from and after the date of such issuance the
Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Common Stock for all such shares issued in his name, including the right to vote
the shares, and the Participant shall receive all dividends and other
distributions paid or made with respect thereto.

other or additional compensation arrangements for the Participants.

11. Shares Available. Subject to Paragraph 12 below, the maximum number of
shares of the Common Stock which may in the aggregate be paid as Stock Retainers
pursuant to this Plan is 30,000,000. Shares of the Common Stock issueable under
this Plan may be taken from treasury shares of the Company or purchased on the

     recapitalization,   or  a  corporate  transaction,   such  as  any  merger,

     complete   liquidation   of  the   Company   (each  of  the   foregoing   a
     "Transaction"),  in  each  case  other  than  any  such  Transaction  which

<PAGE>

     constitutes a Change of Control (as defined below),  (i) the Deferred Stock
     Accounts  shall be  credited  with the  amount  and kind of shares or other

     the  Common  Stock been  outstanding  as of the  effectiveness  of any such
     Transaction,  (ii) the number and kind of shares or other property  subject
     to this Plan shall  likewise  be  appropriately  adjusted  to  reflect  the

     appropriate,  to refer to such  other  form of  property,  with such  other

     with its  purposes.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,

     a Change of Control, the following shall occur on the date of the Change of

respect to the 90nm Licensed Products:

Artisan Components agrees
to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the 90nm Licensed Products
are tagged in accordance with Section 1 above, and to ensure that the 90nm
Licensed Products distributed pursuant to Artisan’s Free Library Program
and Third Party Relationship Programs are tagged in accordance with
Section 1 above and that Artisan Component’s end user licensees
pursuant to those programs are required to keep the tagging information intact.
Artisan Components further agrees to inform its end user licensees of the 90nm
Licensed Products that TSMC will provide Artisan Components with wafer and part
number information pursuant to TSMC’s contractual obligations to Artisan
Components.

The parties confirm and
clarify that “LIC/Wafer” shall mean any single integrated circuit die
