MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
2008 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

ENROLLMENT FORM AGREEMENT

1.
I hereby elect to participate in the Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) and subscribe to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in accordance with this Enrollment Form Agreement, any special terms and conditions for my country 1 set forth in Appendix I (attached to this Enrollment Form Agreement) and the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.
2.
I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount I specified in the online enrollment process through Morgan Stanley’s website (from 1 to 25%, in increments of 1%) of my Eligible Compensation on each payday during the Offer Period in accordance with the Plan.
3.
I understand that I will be deemed to have elected to participate and authorized the same percentage of payroll deductions, and my participation in the Plan will automatically remain in effect, from one Offer Period to the next in accordance with my payroll deduction authorization, unless I withdraw from the Plan or my employment status changes. To increase or reduce the rate of my payroll deductions, I understand I will have to complete a new enrollment through Morgan Stanley’s website during the Enrollment Period for the subsequent Offer Period, and the change in my rate of payroll deductions will become effective only at the beginning of the subsequent Offer Period.
4.
I understand that my payroll deductions shall be accumulated in a Payroll Account in my name for the purchase of Shares on the Purchase Date at the applicable purchase price as determined in Section 5 below (the “Purchase Price”). I understand that unless I withdraw from an Offer Period or my employment status changes, any accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my right to purchase the number of whole Shares which the balance of my Payroll Account will purchase on the Purchase Date by dividing the balance of my Payroll Account by the Purchase Price.
5.
I understand that the Purchase Price for each Share shall be the lesser of (i) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the Offer Date and (ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the Purchase Date.
6.
I acknowledge that the Plan and a prospectus relating to the Plan have been made available to me. I understand that my participation in the Plan is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan.
7.
I acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company and/or, if different, my employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for any and all income tax (including U.S., federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to my participation in the Plan and legally applicable to me or deemed by the Company or the Employer in their reasonable discretion to be an appropriate charge to me even if legally applicable to the Company or Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. I further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of my participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant or exercise of the right to purchase Shares, the purchase of Shares under the Plan, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the right to purchase Shares to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I am subject to tax in more than

I should speak with my personal legal and tax advisor for more information as to which countries this phrase may include, based on my specific circumstances.




one jurisdiction, I acknowledge 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 any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a)
withholding from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by the Company and/or the Employer;
(b)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the right to purchase Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on my behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(c)
withholding in Shares to be issued upon exercise of the right to purchase Shares, provided, however, that if I am a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act and I am participating in the Non-423(b) Component, then the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (a) and (b) above.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates in my country, including maximum applicable rates, in which case I may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, I am deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares purchased upon exercise of the right to purchase Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of my participation in the Plan.
Finally, I shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plan or the purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to purchase Shares on my behalf under the Plan and refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 7.
8.
I understand that if I am a U.S. taxpayer (regardless of whether I am also subject to tax in any other country) participating in the Code Section 423(b) component of the Plan I should check with the Company to determine whether this requirement applies to me. and I dispose of any Shares acquired under the Plan before the later to occur of: (1) two years after the first day of the Offer Period during which I purchased such Shares, and (2) one year after the Purchase Date, then I will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time such Shares were purchased over the Purchase Price paid for the Shares, regardless of whether I sold such Shares for a gain or a loss. In such circumstances, I hereby agree to notify the Company in writing prior to the end of the calendar year in which any Shares were disposed of and to make adequate provisions for Tax-Related Items which arise upon the disposition of the Shares.
9.
By completing the online enrollment process and participating in the Plan, I understand, acknowledge and agree that:

(b)the grant of rights to purchase Shares under the Plan is exceptional, voluntary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of rights to purchase Shares, or benefits in lieu of rights to purchase Shares even if I am automatically receiving new rights to purchase Shares at the end of each Offer Period absent a withdrawal;

(i)the future value of the Shares underlying the rights to purchase Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j)the value of the Shares purchase under the Plan may increase or decrease in the future, even below the Purchase Price;

(l)in the event of termination of my employment relationship (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am providing services or the terms of my employment agreement, if any), my right to purchase Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that I am no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., my period of employment would not include any contractual notice or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am employed or the terms of my employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively providing services for purposes of my participation in the Plan (including whether I may still be considered actively employed while on leave of absence);

10.
The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding my participation in the Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. I should consult with my own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding my participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
11.
I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Enrollment Form Agreement and any other Plan materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any other Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan.

I understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all rights to purchase Shares or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

I understand that Data will be transferred to Morgan Stanley and its affiliates or such other stock plan service provider the Company may have selected or may select in the future, which is assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. I understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that, if I reside outside the United States, I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Company and any recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom I may elect to deposit any Shares purchased under the Plan.

I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that, if I reside outside the United States, I may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting my local human resources representative. Further, I understand that I am providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If I do not consent, or if I later seek to revoke my consent, my employment or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing my consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the right to purchase Shares or other equity awards to me, or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, I understand, that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to exercise or realize benefits from the right to purchase Shares or otherwise participate in the Plan. I understand that for more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I may contact my local human resources representative.

Nature of Grant. This provision replaces Section 9(l) of the Enrollment Form Agreement:

(l)    in the event of termination of my employment relationship (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am providing services or the terms of my employment agreement, if any), my right to purchase Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earlier of (1) the date on which my employment relationship is terminated; (2) the date I receive written notice of termination of my employment relationship from the Employer; or (3) the date I am no longer actively employed, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am employed (including, but not limited to, statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of may participation in the Plan (including whether I may still be considered actively employed while on leave of absence).

Language Consent. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that this Enrollment Form Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.


1 For the purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “my country” refers to any country whose laws and regulations apply to the participant during the relevant time period, as determined by the Company at its sole discretion. I should speak with my personal legal and tax advisor for more information as to which countries this phrase may include, based on my specific circumstances.




Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention, ainsi que de tous documents, avis donnés et procédures judiciaries exécutés, donnés ou intentées en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement, à la présente convention.

Data Privacy. The following provision supplements Section 11 of the Enrollment Form Agreement:

You hereby authorize the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Company, the Employer and/or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, and Morgan Stanley to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. You also authorize the Company, the Employer and/or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate to record such information and to keep such information in your employment file.
Notifications

Securities Law Notification. You may not be permitted to sell within Canada the Shares acquired under the Plan. You may only be permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Currently the Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the United States of America.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Notification. Foreign specified property, including shares, rights to purchase shares, and other rights to receive shares (e.g., stock options, restricted stock units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of such employee’s foreign assets exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the rights to purchase Shares under the Plan must be reported, generally at nil cost, if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because you hold other foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you own other Shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares.

GERMANY

Notifications

Exchange Control Notification. Cross-border payments in excess of €12,500 must be reported monthly the German Federal Bank. From September 2013, the German Federal Bank no longer will accept reports in paper form and all reports must be filed electronically.

In the event that German residents make or receive a payment in excess of this amount, they are responsible for complying with applicable reporting requirements.. In addition, in the unlikely event that German residents hold shares exceeding 10% of the total capital or voting rights of a foreign company (such as the Company), they must report holdings in the company on an annual basis.

IRELAND

Terms and Conditions

Tax Withholding. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Enrollment Form Agreement:

As a condition of your participation in the Plan, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold Tax-Related Items arising in Ireland at the time you exercise your right to purchase Shares, regardless of the fact that such withholding may not be required by law. You further acknowledge and agree that the Company or the Employer may accomplish such withholding by any one or any combination of the methods described in Section 7 of the Enrollment Form Agreement. Notwithstanding this provision, you acknowledge and agree that, should the Company or the Employer fail to withhold Tax-Related Items for any or no reason, it remains your obligation to satisfy all Tax-Related Items and neither the Company nor the Employee will be liable for your failure to satisfy such obligations.

The Controller of personal data processing is Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., with registered offices at 160 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134, U.S.A., and, pursuant to D.lgs 196/2003, its representative in Italy is the Employer in Italy.
