Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On January 17, 2006, we granted an aggregate of 17,185 deferred stock units to certain of our directors, including our chief executive officer, pursuant to our amended and restated 2001 incentive compensation plan and adopted a form of deferred stock award agreement. In connection with the grants, we entered into a deferred stock award agreement with each of the following directors: Francis F. Lee (who is also our chief executive officer), Federico Faggin, Richard L. Sanquini, Keith B. Geeslin, and Ronald Van Dell.
          Pursuant to the agreements, each director becomes vested in the deferred stock units as to one-fourth of the deferred stock units on January 17, 2007, and as to one-forty-eighth of the deferred stock units on each monthly anniversary thereafter. Each director forfeits the unvested portion, if any, of his deferred stock units if the director’s service to our company is terminated for any reason, except as may otherwise be determined by the administrator of our amended and restated 2001 incentive compensation plan. The form of deferred stock award agreement for our amended and restated 2001 incentive compensation plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6(c), and a schedule of the deferred stock award agreements entered into on January 17, 2006 (which are in the form attached as Exhibit 10.6(c)) is attached thereto.
