Amendment to Global Supply Agreement between Applied Materials and MKS Instruments (October 2013)
Applied Materials and MKS Instruments have agreed to extend the term of their existing Global Supply Agreement until April 30, 2014, to allow more time for negotiations. Either party can terminate the agreement earlier with six months' written notice. All other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged, and any related addendums are also extended unless otherwise terminated. This amendment is intended to provide continuity while a new, ongoing agreement is negotiated.

Ms. Bonner:
To allow for adequate time to complete negotiations of our existing GSA document, we are amending the Global Supply Agreement between Applied Materials and MKS Instruments to extend the existing term. We will in good faith work on an evergreen agreement within anticipated completion in the next six (6) months. Unless the GSA is terminated sooner, the term of the GSA will now expire on April 30th, 2014. During that time, either Applied Materials or MKS Instruments may provide the other company six (6) months written notice terminating the GSA.
All other Terms and Conditions of the Global Supply Agreement remain unchanged. Additionally, any Addendums that expire upon the expiry or termination of the GSA shall also be extended for this additional period, unless terminated earlier as provided in the Addendum or this letter.
