A summary of the non- employee director compensation arrangements is attached as Exhibit 10.1 with this Form 8-K. Also on July 12, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of RSUs to each non-employee director under the Intel Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Each director will be granted RSUs with an aggregate value of $145,000 divided by the average of the high and low sales prices of one share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. These RSU grants are to be made instead of grants of stock options. In addition, the Lead Independent Director will continue to be paid an additional $30,000 per year, which will be provided in the form of RSUs instead of being paid in cash. The following description is qualified by reference to the terms of the form of Intel Corporation Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Notice of Grant, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 with this Form 8- K, and to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006. RSUs are subject to administration and interpretation by the committee of the Board of Directors designated pursuant to the Plan, or by its delegate. Grants of RSUs typically vest 1/3 each year and are 100% vested after three years. Unvested RSUs are cancelled as of the date of termination of service as set forth in the form of RSU agreement, subject to accelerated vesting upon death, retirement and disablement. Unvested RSUs do not provide any rights of a stockholder and do not accrue dividends. Non- employee directors may elect to defer receipt of shares from vested RSUs.
