Exhibit
10.17  AMENDED
AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT  THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT(the Agreement)
is made and entered into effective as of December 1, 2007 (Effective Date) by and between CYMER, INC., a Nevada corporation (the Company)
and the Companys President and Chief Operating Officer, RAE ANN WERNER (the Employee).  This Agreement shall replace and supersede
that certain [Amended and Restated] Employment Agreement between Employee and
the Company entered into effective as of January 2, 2007
(the Original Employment Agreement).  RECITALS  A.The Company and Employee previously
entered into the Original Employment Agreement and desire to amend and restate
the Original Employment Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein,
effective as of the Effective Date, to clarify the application of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code to the benefits that may be provided to Employee.  B.The Company may from time to time need to
address the possibility of an acquisition transaction or change of control
event.  The Board of Directors of the
Company (the Board) recognizes that such
events can be a distraction to the Employee and can cause the Employee to
consider alternative employment opportunities. 
The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued
dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility,
threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company,
although no such Change of Control is now contemplated.  C.The Board believes that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide the Employee with an
incentive to continue the Employees employment and to motivate the Employee to
maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of
its stockholders.  D.The Board believes that it is imperative
to provide the Employee with certain benefits upon a Change of Control and,
under certain circumstances, upon termination of the Employees employment in
connection with a Change of Control, which benefits are intended to provide the
Employee with financial security and provide sufficient incentive and
encouragement to the Employee to remain with the Company notwithstanding the
possibility of a Change of Control.  E.To accomplish the foregoing objectives,
the Board has directed the Company, upon execution of this Agreement by the
Employee, to agree to the terms provided herein.  F.Certain capitalized terms used in this
Agreement are defined in Section 7 below.  AGREEMENT  In consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, and in consideration of the continuing employment of the Employee by
the Company, the parties agree as follows:  1

has been defined in terms of responsibilities and compensation as of the Effective
Date of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Board shall have the right, at any time prior to the occurrence of a
Change of Control, to revise such responsibilities and compensation as the
Board in its discretion may deem necessary or appropriate.  The Employee shall comply with and be bound
by the Companys operating policies, procedures and practices from time to time
in effect during the Employees employment. 
During the term of the Employees employment with the Company, the
Employee shall continue to devote the Employees full time, skill and attention
to the Employees duties and responsibilities, and shall perform them
faithfully, diligently and competently, and the Employee shall use the Employees
best efforts to further the business of the Company and its affiliated
entities.  2.Base Compensation.The Company shall pay the Employee as compensation for the Employees
services a base salary, which as the Effective Date of this Agreement is at the
annualized rate of $240,394.00(and which may be modified from time to time in accordance with this
Agreement, the Base Compensation).  The Base Compensation shall be paid
periodically in accordance with normal Company payroll practices.  The Board or the Compensation Committee of
the Board shall review the Base Compensation according to normal Company
practice, but no less frequently than annually, and may in its discretion
modify the Base Compensation but may not decrease the Base Compensation below
the dollar amount specified above, unless Employee consents to such reduction.  3.Incentive Compensation.During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall
be eligible to receive payments under the Companys various incentive and bonus

of the applicable plan or program in question and to the sole determination of
the Board or any committee administering such plan or program.  5.Employment Relationship.The Company and the Employee acknowledge that the Employees employment
is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law.  If the Employees employment terminates for
any reason, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages,
awards or compensation other than as provided by this Agreement, or as may
otherwise be available in accordance with any Company plan or policy approved
by the Board.  2

paid to the Employee under the Companys bonus and incentive programs with

practice of the Company for 12
months following the effective date of the Release (the Termination
Period).  (ii)Incentive Payments.  (1)The Employee shall be entitled to receive

result in no portion of such termination benefits being subject to excise tax
under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking
into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Employee
on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of termination benefits under
this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such termination
benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.  (b)If a reduction in the payments and
benefits that would otherwise be paid or provided to the Employee under the

in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c), the Employee shall
notify the Company in writing regarding which payments or benefits are to be
reduced.  If no notification is given by
the Employee, the Company will determine which amounts to reduce.  If, as a result of any reduction required by Section 8(a),
amounts previously paid to the Employee exceed the amount to which the Employee
is entitled, the Employee will promptly return the excess amount to the
Company.  (c)Any determination required under this Section 8
shall be made in writing by a nationally recognized accounting or consulting
firm appointed by the Company, which firm shall not then be serving as accountant
or auditor for or consultant to the Company or the person or entity that
effected the Change in Control and whose determinations shall be conclusive and
binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes.  For purposes of making the calculations
required by this Section 8, such firm may make reasonable assumptions and
approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good
faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of
the Code.  The Company and the Employee
shall furnish to such firm such information and documents as such firm may
reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 8.  The Company shall bear all costs such firm
may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 8.  9.Application of Code Section 409A.Severance benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent of
payments made from the date of termination of Employees employment through March 15th
of the calendar year following such termination, are intended to constitute

the Treasury Regulations, to the maximum extent permitted by said provision,

requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, including, without
limitation, the requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code
