THIS TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and delivered this
3rd day of July, 2002, by and between Mattson Technology, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Brad Mattson ("Borrower").

     WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain a loan from the Company, as herein
provided; and,

     WHEREAS, the Company is willing to provide such loan to and in favor of
Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
herein contained, Borrower and the Company agree as follows:

     1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
the following respective meanings:

     "Interest Rate" shall mean that annual rate of interest equal to the
greater of (i) the prime rate plus 125 basis points and (ii) that interest rate
charged by Prudential under the Margin Agreement.

     "Business Day" shall mean any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or
holiday, on which the Company is open to carry on all or substantially all of
its normal business in California.

     "Indebtedness" shall mean all loans, advances, indebtedness, obligations
and liabilities of Borrower to the Company under this Agreement, whether matured
or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter
arising.

     "Maturity Date" shall mean December 31, 2002.

     2. Term Loan.

          2.1 Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
     Company agrees to make a loan to Borrower upon the terms and conditions set
     forth herein (the "Loan"). The aggregate principal amount of the Loan shall

     interest at a per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate. Interest on the

                                       1
<PAGE>

          2.3 Interest Computations. In the event the Interest Rate is changed
     from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder
     shall be increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the
     Interest Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Interest
     Rate. All interest chargeable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
     three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

          2.4 Company's Books and Records. The amounts from time to time
     outstanding hereunder, the applicable interest rate in respect of the Loan,
     and the amount and date of any repayment hereunder, shall be noted on the
     Company's books and records, which shall be conclusive evidence thereof,
     absent manifest error; provided, however, any failure by the Company to
     make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not
     relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay to the Company all amounts owing
     to the Company under or pursuant to this Agreement when due in accordance
     with the terms hereof.

     3. Repayment.

          3.1 Accrual and Payment of Interest and Maturity. The Loan, and all
     principal and interest outstanding hereunder, shall mature and become due
     and payable in full on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that should
     the Borrower sell any shares of common stock of the Company at any time
     while any portion of the Loan or other amounts are outstanding under this
     Agreement, the full amount of the proceeds from such sale of common shall
     be applied against and used to repay the Loan. In addition, should Borrower
     maintain or establish a margin account after the date hereof with any
     broker or investment banker at any time while any portion of the Loan is
     outstanding hereunder, the full proceeds from any initial borrowing under
     such margin account shall be used to repay the Loan or portion thereof.
     Borrower agrees that, while any amounts are outstanding hereunder, Borrower
     shall not borrow against any margin agreement, without applying the
     proceeds of such borrowing to repayment of proceeds hereunder.

          3.2 Payments on Non-Business Day. In the event that any payment of any
     principal, interest, or any other amounts payable by Borrower under or
     pursuant to this Agreement shall become due on any day which is not a
     Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding
     Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall continue to
     accrue and be payable at the applicable rate(s) for and during any such
     extension.

          3.3 Payment Procedures. All sums payable by Borrower to the Company
     under or pursuant to this Agreement, whether principal, interest, or
     otherwise, shall be paid, when due, directly to the Company at its
     headquarters offices in Fremont, California, or at such other office of the
     Company as the Company may designate in writing to Borrower from time to
     time, in immediately available United States funds, and without setoff,
     deduction or counterclaim.

          3.4 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
     herein, in the event that and so long as any Event of Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing or exist, all indebtedness outstanding under
     this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable
     interest rate plus two percent (2%), which interest, in any case, shall be
     payable upon demand.


                                       2

          3.5 Preferences. Borrower hereby expressly agrees that, to the extent
     that the Company receives any payment or benefit of or otherwise upon any
     of the indebtedness hereunder, and such payment or benefit, or any part
     thereof, is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
     preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver,
     or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common
     law, or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or benefit, the
     Indebtedness, or part thereof, intended to be satisfied shall be revived
     and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or benefit had
     not been made by Borrower or received by the Company, and, further, any
     such repayment by the Company shall be added to and be deemed to be
     additional indebtedness hereunder.

          3.6 Proceeds Upon Sale of Company Common Stock. Borrower agrees that
     until all amounts due hereunder are repaid in full, Borrower shall apply
     the proceeds of any sale of any Company common stock to repayment of the
     Loan. In the event of any other disposition, including any disposition
     relating to a merger or acquisition involving the Company, all amounts due
     hereunder shall be immediately due and payable and all proceeds relating to
     any such transactions shall be applied to the repayment of all amounts due
     under this Agreement.

     4. Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Company a
continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or
arising shares of common or preferred stock of the Company owned by Borrower
(the "Collateral"), and pledges the Collateral in order to secure prompt payment
of any and all Indebtedness and in order to secure prompt performance by
Borrower of each of its covenants and duties hereunder. Borrower hereby agrees
that it will not create or suffer to exist any security interest in the
Collateral at any time other than the interest of the Company hereunder other
than any pledge of or security interest in the Collateral to secure amounts due
under a margin account, so long as the proceeds of any borrowing under the
margin account are used to repay amounts due hereunder.

     5. Events of Default; Remedies.

          5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence or existence of any of the
     following conditions or events shall constitute an "Event of Default"
     hereunder:

               (i) upon non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due
          to the Company under this Agreement;

               (ii) default in the observance or performance of any of the
          conditions, covenants or agreements of Borrower set forth in this
          Agreement, and continuance thereof for a period of thirty (30) days;


                                       3

               (iii) if Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or
          admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they mature, or
          applies for, consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a
          trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator or other custodian for
          Borrower or a substantial part of his property, or makes a general
          assignment for the benefit of creditors; or files a voluntary petition
          in bankruptcy or in the absence of such filing application, consent or
          acquiescence, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator or other
          custodian is appointed for Borrower or for a substantial part of his
          property, and the same is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or
          any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other proceedings
          under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution or
          liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against Borrower, if
          instituted against Borrower, the same is consented to or acquiesced in
          by Borrower, or otherwise remains undismissed for thirty (30) days; or
          any warrant of attachment is issued against any substantial part of
          the property of Borrower, which is not released within thirty (30)
          days of service thereof.

          5.2 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
     continuance of an Event of Default, Company may, at its election, without
     notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the
     following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

               (i) declare all Indebtedness immediately due and payable;

               (ii) terminate this Agreement as to any future liability or
          obligation of the Company, but without affecting the Company's rights
          and security interests in the Collateral, and the Indebtedness of
          Borrower to the Company;

               (iii) without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the
          Indebtedness any and all indebtedness at any time owing to or for the
          credit or the account of Borrower by the Company;

               (iv) sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or
          both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on
          terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's
          premises) as Company determines is commercially reasonable, and apply
          the proceeds thereof to the Indebtedness in whatever manner or order
          Company deems appropriate.

     Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral will be paid
     immediately by Borrower.

     6. Miscellaneous.

          6.1 Fees and Costs. In the event Company incurs any costs or fees in
     order to enforce payment of this Agreement or any portion thereof, the
     Borrower agrees to pay to Company, in addition to such amounts as are owed
     pursuant to this Agreement, such costs and fees, including, without
     limitation, a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees.

          6.2 Taxes and Fees. Should any tax (other than a tax based upon the
     net income of the Company) or recording or filing fee become payable in
     respect of this Agreement or any amendment, modification or supplement
     hereof or thereof, Borrower agrees to pay such taxes (or reimburse the
     Company therefor), together with any interest or penalties thereon, and
     agree to hold the Company harmless with respect thereto; provided, however,
     that Borrower shall have no liability for any tax or fees due solely as a
     result of the Company's failure to comply with any provisions of applicable
     law.
