        Re: Base Compensation of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman

Dear
Mary: 

        This
letter extends the arrangement between Axcelis Technologies, Inc. and you regarding your base pay increase approved by the Compensation Committee on April 26, 2011. We
have agreed to further defer the implementation of this increase until January 1, 2013. 

        Notwithstanding
the delay in effectiveness of this salary increase, in the event that you are at any time entitled to separation pay under your Employment Agreement or your Change of
Control Agreement with the Company, both dated as of November 6, 2007, your base compensation rate will be deemed to be the rate approved by the Compensation Committee on April 26, 2011
and all amounts due to you shall be calculated as if such increase had become effective on May 1, 2011 as initially contemplated by the Compensation Committee. 

        Please
sign below to indicate your agreement to the foregoing. Thank you.
