                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into effective
as of June 1, 2000, by and between David W. Myers (the "Employee") and Cymer,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company").

                                 R E C I T A L S

A. 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 is now contemplated.

B. 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 his
employment and to motivate the Employee to maximize the value of the Company
upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.

C. 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.

D. 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.

E. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 7
below.

                                A G R E E M E N T

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. DUTIES AND SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT. The Company shall employ the Employee in the
position of Vice President, Technology Development, as such position 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 his employment. During the term of the Employee's employment with
the Company, the Employee shall continue to devote his full time, skill and
attention to his duties and responsibilities, and shall perform them faithfully,
diligently and competently, and the Employee shall use his 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 her
services a base salary at the annualized rate of $170,000.00. Such salary shall
be paid periodically in accordance with normal Company payroll practices. The
Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board shall review the base salary of
the Employee according to normal Company practice, but no less frequently than
annually, and may in its discretion increase but not decrease the base salary
below the amount specified in this agreement.

3. ANNUAL INCENTIVE. Beginning with the Company's current fiscal year and for
each fiscal year thereafter during the term of this Agreement, the Employee
shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus under the Company's annual
incentive plan (the "Annual Incentive") based upon performance targets approved
by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Target Incentive"). The Annual
Incentive payable hereunder shall be payable in accordance with the Company's
normal practices and policies.

4. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. The Employee shall be eligible to participate in the
employee benefit plans and executive compensation programs maintained by the
Company applicable to other key executives of the Company, including (without
limitation) retirement plans, savings or profit-sharing plans, stock option,
incentive or other bonus plans, life, disability, health, accident and other
insurance programs, paid vacations, and similar plans or programs, subject in
each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions 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 the Company's established employee plans and
policies at the time of termination.

6. TERMINATION BENEFITS. Subject to Sections 8 and 9 below, in the event the
Employee's employment terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination other
than for Cause upon or within 18 months after a Change of Control, then the
Employee shall be entitled to receive severance and other benefits as follows:

         (a) PAY CONTINUATION. The Employee shall be entitled to monthly
         payments equal to the Employee's monthly Base Compensation as in effect
         immediately prior to the Change of Control plus one-twelfth (1/12) of
         the average of the annual bonus amount paid to the Employee with
         respect to the three previous calendar years. Such monthly amounts
         shall be paid according to the normal payroll practice of the Company
         for 9 months following the date of termination (the "Termination
         Period").

         (b) ANNUAL INCENTIVE. The Employee shall be entitled to receive a
         percentage of the Employee's Target Incentive for the calendar year in
         which such termination occurs. Such percentage shall equal a fraction,
         the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such calendar
         year up to and including the date of such termination and the
         denominator of which shall be the number of days in such calendar year.
         Such amount shall be payable according to the normal practice of the
         Company with respect to the payment of bonuses.

         (c) OPTIONS. The unvested portion of any stock option(s) held by the
         Employee under the Company's stock option plans shall vest and become
         exercisable in full upon the date of such termination.

         (d) MEDICAL BENEFITS. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for the
         cost of the Employee's group health, vision and dental plan coverage in
         effect until the end of the Termination Period. The Employee may use
         this payment, as well as any other payment made under this Section 6,
         for such continuation coverage or for any other purpose. To the extent
         the Employee pays the cost of such coverage, and the cost of such
         coverage is not deductible as a medical expense by the Employee, the
         Company shall "gross-up" the amount of such reimbursement for all taxes
         payable by the Employee on the amount of such reimbursement and the
         amount of such gross-up.

7. DEFINITION OF TERMS. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall
have the following meanings:

         (a) CAUSE. "Cause" shall mean (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken
         by the Employee in connection with his responsibilities as an employee
         and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the
         Employee, (ii) conviction of a felony that is injurious to the Company,
         (iii) a willful act by the Employee which constitutes gross misconduct
         and which is injurious to the Company, and (iv) continued violations by
         the Employee of the Employee's obligations under Section 1 of this
         Agreement that

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

         are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Employee's part after
         there has been delivered to the Employee a written demand for
         performance from the Company which describes the basis for the
         Company's belief that the Employee has not substantially performed his
         duties.

         (b) CHANGE OF CONTROL. "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence of
         any of the following events:

                  (i) The acquisition by any "person" (as such term is used in
                  Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) (other than the
                  Company or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is
                  controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company)
                  of the "beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
                  said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
                  Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total
                  voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding
                  voting securities; or

                  (ii) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors of
                  the Company occurring within a two-year period, as a result of
                  which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent
                  Directors. "Incumbent Directors" shall mean directors who
                  either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof,
                  or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of
                  Directors of the Company with the affirmative votes of at
                  least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of
                  such election or nomination (but shall not include an
                  individual not otherwise an Incumbent Director whose election
                  or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened
                  proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the
                  Company); or

                  (iii) A merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
                  corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would
                  result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
                  immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
                  remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
                  securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent
                  (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting
                  securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
                  immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the
                  approval by the stockholders of the Company of a plan of
                  complete liquidation of the Company or of an agreement for the
                  sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all
                  the Company's assets.

         (c) DISABILITY. "Disability" shall mean that the Employee has been
         unable to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement as the
         result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such
         inability, at least 26 weeks after its commencement, is determined to
         be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its
         insurers and acceptable to the Employee or the Employee's legal
         representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be
         unreasonably withheld).

         (d) EXCHANGE ACT. "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934, as amended.

         (e) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION. "Involuntary Termination" shall mean (i)
         without the Employee's express written consent, the significant
         reduction of the Employee's duties or responsibilities relative to the
         Employee's duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to
         such reduction; provided, however, that a reduction in duties or
         responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and
         made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Financial
         Officer of Company remains as such following a Change of Control and is
         not made the Chief Financial Officer of the acquiring corporation)
         shall not constitute an "Involuntary Termination"; (ii) without the
         Employee's express written consent, a substantial reduction, without
         good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including
         office space and location) available to the Employee immediately prior
         to such reduction; (iii) without the Employee's express written
         consent, a material reduction by the Company in the Base Compensation
         or Target Incentive of the Employee as in effect immediately prior to
         such reduction, or the ineligibility of the Employee to continue to
         participate in any long-term incentive plan of the Company; (iv) a
         material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee
         benefits to which the Employee is entitled immediately prior to such
         reduction with the result that the Employee's overall benefits package
         is significantly reduced; (v) the relocation of the Employee to a
         facility or a location more than 50 miles from the Employee's then
         present

                                     Page 3
<PAGE>

         location, without the Employee's express written consent; (vi) any
         purported termination of the Employee by the Company which is not
         effected for death or Disability or for Cause, or any purported
         termination for which the grounds relied upon are not valid; or (vii)
         the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement
         by any successors contemplated in Section 10 below.

8.       LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.

         (a) In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in
         this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee (i) constitute
         "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal
         Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (ii) but for this
         Section 8 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
         the Code, then the Employee's severance benefits under Section 6 shall
         be payable either (i) in full, or (ii) as to such lesser amount which
         would result in no portion of such severance 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 severance benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or
         some portion of such severance 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 terms of this Agreement is
         necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 8(a), the Employee
         shall be entitled to select which payments or benefits will be reduced
         and the manner and method of any such reduction of such payments or
         benefits (including but not limited to the number of options that would
         vest under Section 6(b) subject to reasonable limitations (including,
         for example, express provisions under the Company's benefit plans) (so
         long as the requirements of Section 8(a) are met). Within thirty (30)
         days after the amount of any required reduction in payments and
         benefits is finally determined 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) Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing,
         any determination required under this Section 8 shall be made in
         writing by the Company's independent public accountants (the
         "Accountants"), whose determination 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, the Accountants 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 the Accountants such information and
         documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a
         determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the
         Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations
         contemplated by this Section 8.

9. CERTAIN BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. In the event it is determined by the Board,
upon receipt of a written opinion of the Company's independent public
accountants, that the enforcement of any Section or subsection of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 6(b) hereof, which allows for
the acceleration of vesting of options to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock upon a termination in connection with a Change of Control, would
preclude accounting for any proposed business combination of the Company
involving a Change of Control as a pooling of interests, and the Board otherwise
desires to approve such a proposed business transaction which requires as a
condition to the closing of such transaction that it be accounted for as a
pooling of interests, then any such Section of this Agreement shall be null and
void, but only if the absence of enforcement of such Section would preserve the
pooling treatment. For purposes of this Section 9, the Board's determination
shall require the unanimous approval of the disinterested Board members.

10. SUCCESSORS.

         (a) COMPANY'S SUCCESSORS. Any successor to the Company (whether direct
         or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation,
         liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

         Company's business and assets shall assume the obligations under this
         Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this
         Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
         would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a
         succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term "Company"
         shall include any successor to the Company's business and assets which
         executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this
         Section 10(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by
         operation of law.

         (b) EMPLOYEE'S SUCCESSORS. The terms of this Agreement and all rights
         of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be
         enforceable by, the Employee's personal or legal representatives,
         executors, administrators, successors, heirs, devisees and legatees.

11. NOTICE. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally
delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested and postage prepaid. In the case of the Employee, mailed notices shall
be addressed to him at the home address which he most recently communicated to
the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be
addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to
the attention of its Secretary.

12.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         (a) WAIVER. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or
         discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in
         writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of the
         Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by either party of any
         breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this
         Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other
         condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another
         time.

         (b) WHOLE AGREEMENT. No agreements, representations or understandings
         (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which are not
         expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into by
         either party with respect to the subject matter hereof.

         (c) CHOICE OF LAW. The validity, interpretation, construction and
         performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
         State of California.

         (d) SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
         or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
         enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in
         full force and effect.

         (e) ARBITRATION. Any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to
         or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by
         binding arbitration in San Diego, California, in accordance with the
         National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the
         American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be
         entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction. The
         Company and the Employee shall each pay one-half of the costs and
         expenses of such arbitration, and each shall separately pay its counsel
         fees and expenses. Punitive damages shall not be awarded.

         (f) NO ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS. The rights of any person to payments or
         benefits under this Agreement shall not be made subject to option or
         assignment, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by
         operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy,
         garnishment, attachment or other creditor's process, and any action in
         violation of this Section 12(g) shall be void.

         (g) ASSIGNMENT BY COMPANY. The Company may assign its rights under this
         Agreement to an affiliate, and an affiliate may assign its rights under
         this Agreement to another affiliate of the Company or to the Company;
         provided, however, that no assignment shall be made if the net worth of
         the assignee is less than the net worth of the Company at the time of
         assignment. In the case of any such assignment, the term "Company" when
         used in a section of this Agreement shall mean the corporation that
         actually employs the Employee.

         (h) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
         of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will
         constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case
of the Company by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year first
above written.

                                 1986 STOCK PLAN

Mentor Graphics recognizes that its continuing growth and profitability depends
upon the initiative, ability, and significant contributions of officers and
other key employees. Mentor Graphics believes that by affording those employees

ability to attract and retain them and will provide an incentive for them to
exert their best efforts on its behalf.
