3.    PARTICIPATION AND DETERMINATION OF AWARDS

3.1.    Participation. All eligible Participants will be automatically enrolled in the Plan for each Award Period on the first day of such Award Period or, if later (or again), on the first full business day during such Award Period that the individual first meets the definition of “Participant” (as defined in Section 2.14) for such Award Period (e.g., the individual moves to an eligible job level grade as provided in Section 2.14 or to an Employer (and provided the individual has an eligible job level grade)). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant enrolled in the Plan during an Award Period will cease to be enrolled for the portion of such Award Period in which he or she no longer meets the definition of “Participant”; provided, however, that he or she may remain eligible to receive a Payable Award for the portion of such Award Period in which he or she met the definition of “Participant” in accordance with and subject to Sections 3.4 and Section 3.5, and provided he or she meets the other terms and conditions for eligibility for a Payable Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that an otherwise eligible employee will not be a Participant in the Plan for a given Award Period (or a portion thereof). Accordingly, a Participant who participates in the Plan in a given Award Period is not in any way guaranteed or assured of participation in the Plan in any subsequent Award Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant in this Plan is not eligible to participate concurrently in any other incentive plan of the Company or its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, milestone plans, profit sharing plans, the Discretionary Bonus Incentive Plan, sales incentive plans, other incentive plans, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining whether an otherwise eligible employee shall become a Participant with respect to an Award Period (or portion thereof), the Committee , in its sole discretion, may provide that an individual will be deemed to have become a Participant on the first day of the Award Period, if, as of the Entry Deadline for such Award Period, (a) he or she was an employee of an entity or its predecessor that, by virtue of an acquisition or similar transaction by the Company, first became an Affiliate after the Entry Deadline for Award Period, and (b) he or she otherwise meets the definition of a “Participant” in Section 2.14 of the Plan.

3.2.    Determination of Performance Goals. The Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish written Performance Goals for each Participant for the Award Period. The Committee,

in its sole discretion, may modify the Performance Goals for any Award Period, including determining that if an Award Period will end earlier than originally scheduled, that the Performance Goals applicable to such Award Period will be adjusted.

3.3.    Determination of Payout Formula or Formulae. The Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish a Payout Formula or Payout Formulae for purposes of serving as a guide for determining any Payable Awards. Each Payout Formula will (a) be in writing, (b) be based on a comparison of actual performance against the Performance Goals, (c) suggest a target Payable Award based on the assumption that the Performance Goals are met, and (d) set a maximum Payable Award. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may modify the Payout Formula serving as a guide for determining Payable Awards for one or more Participants for any Award Period, including determining that if an Award Period will end earlier than originally scheduled, that the Payout Formula guiding the determination of Payable Awards for such Award Period will be adjusted.

3.4.    Determination of Payable Awards.

3.4.1.    In General. In connection with each Award Period, the Committee will determine the extent to which each Participant exceeded, achieved, or missed his or her Performance Goals for the Award Period. The Payable Award for each Participant, if any, will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, with reference to the applicable Payout Formula. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, (a) the Committee, in its sole discretion, may increase, reduce, pro-rate or eliminate a Participant’s Payable Award based on any factors it deems relevant, including but not limited to in connection with the early termination of an Award Period, a Participant’s termination of employment as described in Section 3.5 or an individual’s eligibility as a Participant for only a portion of the Award Period, as described in Section 3.1 and Section 3.4.2, and (b) the Board, in its sole discretion, may require a Participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of his or her Payable Award in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Plan. The fact that a Participant achieved or exceeded his or her Performance Goals will not, in any respect, guarantee that the Participant will receive any Payable Award or any specific amount of Payable Award. As a result, a Participant has no right or entitlement to any Payable Award unless and until the Committee, in its sole discretion, has determined the Payable Award with respect to the Participant.

3.4.2.    Pro-Ration of Target Payable Award; Pro-Rata Payable Awards. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, pro-rate the target Payable Award for Participants that meet the definition of “Participant” for a portion of the Award Period, but remain eligible for consideration for a Payable Award in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.5 and in its sole discretion, may pro-rate the target Payable Award for Participants in connection with the early termination of an Award Period. A pro-rata Payable Award, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made to a Participant who remains an employee of the Company or an Affiliate through the last day of the Award Period for the portion of such Award Period in which the Participant met the definition of “Participant” in accordance with and subject to Sections 3.4 and Section 3.5, and provided he or she meets the other terms and conditions for eligibility for a

Payable Award. A pro-rata Payable Award, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made to a Participant for an Award Period that is terminated earlier than originally scheduled. The amount, if any, of an actual Payable Award to any such Participant remains in sole discretion of the Committee.

3.5.    Eligibility for Payable Awards. Except as provided in this Section, a Participant will be eligible for consideration for a Payable Award only if he or she remains an employee of the Company or an Affiliate through the last day of the Award Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that a Participant (or Participant’s estate) will be eligible for consideration for a Payable Award (which may be pro-rated and is subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.4) if, during the Award Period, the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated on account of Retirement, Disability, death, or involuntary termination by the Company or an Affiliate for a reason other than Cause or under circumstances determined by the Committee to warrant continued eligibility for consideration for a Payable Award. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine whether a Participant who has received any form of disciplinary action, including but not limited to a written or final warning or is placed on a Performance Improvement Plan or similar program during the Award Period is entitled to a Payable Award for that Award Period.

4.1.    Right to Receive Payment. Any Payable Award will be paid solely from the Company’s general assets. Nothing in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled.

4.2.    Form of Payment. Any Payable Award under the Plan will be paid in cash, or its equivalent, in a single lump sum.

4.3.    Timing of Payment. Any Payable Award under the Plan will be paid as soon as administratively practicable after such Payable Award has been determined by the Committee, but in no event will such payment be made later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the third (3^rd) month immediately following the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Payable Award was earned. However, in the case of any Participant who is on a Company-approved personal leave of absence on the last day of the Award Period, the Payable Award, if any, will not be paid until the Participant has returned to work for at least 90 consecutive days following his or her return from the leave of absence (the “90-Day Service Period”), in which case, the Payable Award, if any, will be paid as soon as administratively practicable after the completion of the 90-Day Service Period, but in no event will such payment be made later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the third (3^rd) month immediately following the later of (a) the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the 90-Day Service Period is completed; or (b) the end of the Participant’s taxable year in which the 90-Day Service Period is completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion, may determine that the 90-Day Service Period will be waived for any reason, including, but not limited to, with respect to a Participant whose

employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates during such 90-Day Service Period by reason of such Participant’s Retirement, Disability, death or involuntary termination by the Company or an Affiliate for a reason other than Cause. If the 90-Day Service Period is waived with respect to any Participant, the Payable Award, if any, will be paid as soon as administratively practicable after such waiver, but in no event will such payment be made later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the third (3^rd) month immediately following the later of (a) the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the 90-Day Service Period is waived; or (b) the end of the Participant’s taxable year in which the 90-Day Service Period is waived. For purposes of clarity, a Participant who both is on a Company-approved non-personal leave of absence and whose employment status is protected by applicable law as a result of such leave of absence will not be subject to any 90-Day Service Period requirement.

4.4.    Taxes. Each Payable Award will be paid net of all applicable tax withholding and deductions.

4.5.    Payment in Event of Participant’s Death. If the Committee has determined, in its sole discretion, that a Participant will receive a Payable Award, but the Participant is deceased at the time such award is payable, then such Payable Award will be paid to the Participant’s estate or to the beneficiary or beneficiaries entitled thereto under the intestacy laws governing the disposition of the Participant’s estate.

4.6.    Payment Through Affiliate. Payable Awards may be paid, in the Committee’s discretion, through the Company or any of its Affiliates.

4.7.    Clawback in Connection with a Material Negative Financial Restatement. Pursuant to the clawback policy of the Company or its ultimate parent entity, the Board, in its sole discretion, may require a Participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of his or her Payable Award that is paid on or after December 7, 2009, if (i) the Participant is or was a Section 16 Officer during the applicable Award Period, and (ii) the Participant deliberately engaged in Intentional Misconduct that was determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, to be the primary cause of a material negative restatement of a Company financial statement that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and such financial statement, as originally filed, is one of the Company’s three (3) most recently filed annual financial statements. The portion of the Payable Award, if any, that a Participant may be required to forfeit, return or reimburse will be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, but will be no more than the after-tax portion of the Payable Award that was: (1) in excess of the Payable Award he or she would have received had the Company’s financial results been calculated under the restated financial statements, and (2) paid within the period beginning on the date the Committee determines the Payable Award (in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Plan) and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months after the original filing of the financial statement that subsequently was restated. Further, the Board, in its sole discretion, may require a Participant to forfeit, return and/or reimburse the Company for all or a portion of his or her Payable Award (“Clawback Amount”), in accordance with the clawback policy of the Company or its ultimate parent entity as may be established and/or amended from time to time or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws. To the extent tax obligations on such

Clawback Amount were paid or due, the forfeiture, return or reimbursement shall be limited to the after‑tax portion of the Clawback Amount, unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws.

5.1.    Committee is the Administrator. The Plan will be administered by the Committee.

5.2.    Committee Authority. The Committee has all powers and discretion to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power and discretion to (a) select Participants and make other determinations under Section 3; (b) make Plan rules and regulations to address any situation or condition not specifically provided for by the Plan; and (c) interpret the provisions of the Plan and any Payable Awards. Any determination, decision or action of the Committee (or any delegate of the Committee) in connection with the construction, interpretation, administration or application of the Plan will be final, conclusive, and binding upon all persons, and will be given the maximum possible deference permitted by law.

5.3.    Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or part of its authority and/or powers under the Plan to one or more officers or other employees of the Company or its Affiliates; provided, however, that any decision, action or determination under the Plan by any such delegate of the Committee will be subject to review and change by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not delegate its authority and/or powers under the Plan with respect to Section 16 Officers.

6.1.    Nonassignability. A Participant will have no right to assign or transfer any interest under this Plan.

6.2.    Section 409A; Section 457A. It is intended that any Payable Awards under this Plan will be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A pursuant to the “short-term deferral” exemption or, in the alternative, will comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments to be provided under the Plan will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities and ambiguous terms herein shall be interpreted to so comply or be exempt. It is also intended that all bonuses payable under this Plan be exempt from Section 457A of the Code so that none of the payments and benefits to be provided under this Plan will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 457A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to be exempt. Each payment payable under this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The Company, in good faith and without the consent of any Participant, may make any amendments to this Plan and take such reasonable actions which it deems necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A and/or Section 457A prior to actual payment to any Participant.

6.3.    No Effect on Employment. The Plan, participation in the Plan, and administration of the Plan do not confer any right upon any Participant for the continuation of his or her

employment with the Company or its Affiliates for any Award Period or any other period. A Participant’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates is fully terminable at will. The Company and its Affiliates expressly reserve the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to when during an Award Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any Participant’s employment with or without cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect that such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant.

6.4.    No Individual Liability. Neither the Committee, nor any member of the Committee, nor any delegate of the Committee, nor any member of the HRCC, nor any member of the Board will be liable for any determination, decision or action made or taken in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Payable Award under the Plan.

6.5.    Integration. The Plan as stated in this document is the complete embodiment of the terms and conditions of the Plan and supersedes any prior versions of the Plan and any prior or contemporaneous agreements, promises, or representations concerning the subject matter of the Plan.

6.6.    Amendment or Termination. The Committee or the HRCC may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason by a written amendment. No individual director, officer, or employee, regardless of his or her position at the Company or its Affiliates, otherwise has the power to amend or alter the terms and conditions of the Plan, whether he or she purports to do so verbally or in writing.

6.7.    Arbitration. Any dispute arising from, or related to, this Plan will be settled pursuant to the Applied Materials, Inc. Arbitration Policy, where such an arbitration policy is in effect.

6.8.    Severability; Governing Law. If any provision of the Plan is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will not affect the other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision had been omitted. The provisions of the Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, with the exception of California’s conflict of laws provisions.
