  Costs
        Associated with Exit or Disposal
  Activities.
  On
  February 23, 2009, the Company announced that it will phase out 200mm wafer
  manufacturing operations at its Boise, Idaho, facility.  This action
  will reduce employment at the Company's Idaho sites by approximately 500
  employees in the near term and by as many as 2,000 positions by the end of the
  Company's fiscal year.
  In
  connection with these activities, the Company will incur cash restructuring
  charges of approximately $50 million, comprised primarily of severance and other
  employee related costs.  The Company expects to generate a gross
  annualized operating cash benefit of $150 million in connection with the phase
  out of its 200mm wafer manufacturing operations in Boise.  The net
  operating cash flow effect is expected to be neutral for fiscal
  2009.
  The full
  text of the press release issued in connection with the Company's announcement
  is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
  This
  Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding future
  employment levels restructuring charges, operating cash benefit and operating
  cash.  Actual events or results may differ materially from those
  contained in the forward-looking statements.  Please refer to the
  documents the Company files on a consolidated basis from time to time with the
  Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the Company's most recent Form
  10-K and Form 10-Q.  These documents contain and identify important
  factors that could cause the actual results for the Company on a consolidated
  basis to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking
  statements (see Certain Factors).  Although we believe that the
  expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
  cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or
  achievements.  We are under no duty to update any of the
  forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform to actual
  results.
