	5.
	ELIGIBILITY

The Board shall designate the Eligible Employees who shall be eligible to participate in any Offering.

		
	6.
	OFFERINGS

During the term of the Plan, the Corporation will make one or more offerings in which Options to purchase Common Stock will be granted to Eligible Employees under the Plan (“Offering”).  The terms and conditions of Options to be granted in any such Offering will be determined by the Board under Section 7.  In connection with any Offering, if the number of Shares for which Eligible Employees elect to participate shall be greater than the Shares remaining available, the available Shares shall, at the end of the Offering, be allocated among the Participating Employees pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares for which each has elected to participate.

7.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

7.1      Subject to the limitations herein contained, the Board shall determine the terms of Options in each Offering, all of which shall be granted on the Grant Date of such Offering.

7.2      The Option price per Share for each Offering shall be as determined by the Board.

7.3      The expiration date of the Options granted under each Offering shall be determined by the Board on or prior to the Grant Date for such Offering.

7.4      All Eligible Employees to whom Options are granted shall be entitled to purchase the number of full Shares as shall be established by the Board at the Grant Date.  Each Eligible Employee may elect to participate for less than the maximum number of Shares which he or she is entitled to purchase under his or her Option. If an Eligible Employee elects to participate for less than the maximum number of Shares which he or she is entitled to purchase, his or her Option shall at that time terminate and become void to the extent of the number of Shares for which he or she does not elect to participate.

7.5      Each Eligible Employee who desires to participate in an Offering shall elect to do so by completing and delivering to the Plan Administrator or a person designated by the Plan Administrator an enrollment form in such form, manner and by such deadline as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator from time to time, in its discretion, and which may be in electronic form.

7.6      A Participating Employee shall exercise his or her Option by delivering notice of exercise to the Plan Administration or a person designated by the Plan Administrator at such time and in such form and manner as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe.

7.7      Upon exercise of an Option, full payment for the Shares subject to the Option shall be made in such form or manner as the Board shall fix.

7.8      The Board may (but is not required to) establish on such terms and conditions as it shall determine a payroll deduction system for the purchase of Shares covered by the Options hereunder. If there are payroll deductions under any Offering, the Corporation or an Affiliate shall maintain a payroll deduction account for each Participating Employee. The Board may (but is not required to) provide for interest at such rate as the Board shall determine to be credited to the payroll deduction accounts.

3

7.9      The Board shall establish rules, terms and conditions for each Offering governing the exercise of outstanding Options in the event of a Participating Employee’s termination of employment or change in employment status.

7.10     The Corporation will seek to obtain from each regulatory committee or agency having jurisdiction such authority as may be required to issue and sell Shares to satisfy Options granted under the Plan. Inability of the Corporation to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency authority which counsel for the Corporation deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of its Common Stock to satisfy Options granted under the Plan, shall relieve the Corporation from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock to satisfy such Options pending the time when such authority is obtained or is obtainable.

7.11     Neither a Participating Employee to whom an Option is granted under the Plan nor his or her transferee shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate (which may be by book entry) to him or her for such Shares.

7.12     Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of a Participating Employee only by him or her.

7.13     Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by such instrument or documentation, if any, as the Board shall establish, which shall be dated the Grant Date and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

7.14     Nothing in the Plan or in any Option granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participating Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any of its affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its affiliates to terminate his or her employment at any time.

7.15     Prior to the delivery of any Shares purchased under the Plan, the Corporation shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participating Employee to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy all tax and social insurance or social security liability obligations and requirements in connection with the Options and Shares purchased thereunder, if any, including, without limitation, all federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participating Employee’s FICA obligation, if any) that are required to be withheld by the Corporation or the employing Affiliate, the Participating Employee’s and, to the extent required by the Corporation (or the employing Affiliate), the Corporation’s (or the employing Affiliate’s) fringe benefit tax liability, if any, associated with the grant, vesting, or sale of Shares and any other Corporation (or employing Affiliate) taxes, the responsibility for which the Participating Employee has, or has agreed to bear, with respect to such Shares, and any other taxes or social insurance or social security liabilities or premiums the responsibility for which the Participating Employee has, or has agreed to bear, with respect to or in connection with the Options and Shares purchased thereunder.

8.    FUNDS

           Any amounts held by the Corporation or any Affiliate in payroll deduction accounts under the Plan may be used for any corporate purpose.

9.    ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES AND IN OPTION PRICE

     In the event there is any change in the Common Stock through declarations of stock dividends or stock split-ups, recapitalizations resulting in stock split-ups, or combinations or exchanges of Shares or other securities of the Corporation, or otherwise, appropriate adjustments in the number of shares 

4

available for Options, as well as the shares subject to any Option and the Option price thereof, shall be made, provided that no fractional shares shall be subject to an Option and each Option shall be adjusted down to the nearest full share.

10.    AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

     The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.   If the Plan is amended, suspended or terminated, the Board, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Options either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next scheduled exercise/purchase (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Board in its discretion), or may elect to permit Options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue through such expiration dates).  If the Options are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to a Participating Employee’s account that have not been used to purchase Shares shall be returned to the Participating Employee (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required under local laws) as soon as administratively practicable.  Without stockholder approval and without regard to whether any Participating Employee’s rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Board shall be entitled to change the duration of an Option, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during the duration of an Option, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participating Employee in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Corporation’s or an Affiliate’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participating Employee properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participating Employee’s eligible compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.  
Without regard to whether any Participating Employee’s rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” in the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:
(a)    Amending the Plan to conform to the safe harbor definition under U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, including with respect to an Option issued at the time of the amendment;
(b)    Increasing or otherwise altering the exercise price for any Option, including an Option issued at the time of the change in exercise price;
(c)    Reducing the maximum percentage of eligible compensation a Participating Employee may elect to set aside as payroll deductions; 
(d)    Shortening the duration of any Option so that the Option ends on a new purchase/exercise date, including an Option issued at the time of the Board action; and
(e)    Reducing the number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding Options.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participating Employees.

11.    TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN

5

The Board may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan. No Offering shall be made under the Plan while it is suspended or after it is terminated.

2016 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
(Amended, restated and renamed as of October 12, 2015)
Applied Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) on behalf of itself and its Participating Affiliates, having previously adopted the Applied Materials, Inc. 2005 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, originally effective January 1, 2005, as amended, hereby amends, restates and renames such plan as the Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), effective October 12, 2015 (“Restatement Date”), for the purposes of attracting highly qualified managers and other employees and promoting  increased efficiency and an interest in the successful operation of the Company.

For purposes of this subsection (a), the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered an additional Change in Control.  Further, if the stockholders of the Company immediately before the change in ownership continue to retain, immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the change in ownership, the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company or of the ultimate parent entity of the Company, such event will not be considered a Change in Control under this subsection (a).

Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if its primary purpose is to: (1) change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (2) create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

2.1    Commencement of Participation. An Eligible Employee shall commence participation in the Plan as of the date specified in the enrollment materials provided by the Administrative Committee which designate him or her as an Eligible Employee if, and only if,  the Eligible Employee has completed all applicable Participant Elections and other documentation the Administrative Committee may reasonably request, during the enrollment period established by the Administrative Committee for such purpose.  
2.2    Duration of Participation.  A Participant shall continue to be eligible to make deferrals and/or to receive Company Contributions under Article 3 until the earlier of the Participant’s Separation from Service or such time as the Administrative Committee shall determine that the Participant is no longer an Eligible Employee.

ARTICLE 3
Deferrals, Contributions, and Elections
3.1    Elections to Defer Compensation.
3.1.1    Form of Elections.  Except with respect to any Severance Payment deferrals, a Participant may only elect to defer Compensation attributable to services provided after the time an election is made.  Participant Elections shall be subject to such specifications and limitations as may be prescribed by the Administrative Committee in the enrollment materials for a particular Plan Year (or applicable performance period) and shall take the form of a whole percentage not to exceed:
•    60% of Base Salary,
•    100% of specified Bonuses (separate deferral elections shall be made available for each type of Bonus and applicable limitations specified by the Administrative Committee for the applicable Plan Year (or other performance period) and Sign-On Bonuses and Performance-Based Compensation with applicable limitations must be separately specified by the Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, as eligible for deferral), 
•    100% of Long-Term Incentive Compensation, 
•    100% of Commissions, or
•    100% of Severance Payments,
as permitted in the complete and sole discretion of the Administrative Committee.
A Participant may also elect to defer annual Compensation in an amount equal to specified refunded compensation from the 401(k) Plan and/or, Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Participant for services performed in the applicable Plan Year (or performance period), as determined in the complete and sole discretion of the Administrative Committee. 

7 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

The Administrative Committee shall establish appropriate procedures for such deferral elections in compliance with Code Section 409A and, notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, may further limit the classes of deferred Compensation and/or the minimum or maximum amount deferred by any Participant or group of Participants, or waive the foregoing limits for any Participant or group of Participants, for any reason, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A.  In particular, but not by way of limitation, the Administrative Committee may apply further limitations to the eligibility, amount and form of Compensation that may be deferred by certain Participants to avoid the application of Code Section 457A to the Plan.  Any such limitations that will be applicable with respect to a Plan Year (or other applicable performance period) shall be established by the Administrative Committee before any deferral elections with respect to Compensation for services performed during such Plan Year (or other applicable performance period) otherwise become irrevocable under the terms of the Plan.
Deferrals shall be calculated with respect to the gross cash Compensation payable to the Participant prior to any deductions or withholdings (other than for Cafeteria Plan contributions), but shall be reduced by the Administrative Committee as necessary to not exceed 100% of the cash Compensation of the Participant remaining after deduction of applicable employment taxes and income taxes thereon and other deductions required by law. Changes to payroll withholdings that affect the amount of Compensation being deferred to the Plan shall be allowed only to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A.
3.1.2    Initial Deferral Election.  An Eligible Employee shall make an initial election to defer Compensation during the enrollment period established by the Administrative Committee prior to the effective date of the Participant’s commencement of participation in the Plan and such election shall apply only to Compensation for services performed after such date.  The enrollment period shall generally occur prior to the beginning of the applicable Plan Year, but the Administrative Committee may establish a special enrollment period ending no later than thirty (30) days after an Eligible Employee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan to allow deferrals by such Eligible Employee of eligible amounts earned during the balance of such Plan Year (as long as such Eligible Employee is not already a participant in another plan or arrangement which is aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code Section 409A).  Eligibility for mid-year enrollment of rehired or newly Eligible Employees who have previously participated in the Plan shall be permitted only in compliance with all requirements of Code Section 409A, and as determined in the complete and sole discretion of the Administrative Committee. 
3.1.3    Deferral Elections for Subsequent Plan Years.  A Participant may increase, decrease, terminate or recommence a deferral election with respect to Compensation for any subsequent Plan Year in which the Participant is eligible to participate in the Plan by making a Participant Election during the enrollment period established by the Administrative Committee prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which the applicable services are performed, which election shall be effective on the first day of the following Plan Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may allow separate deferral elections with respect to any Bonuses which are determined on the basis of the Employer’s fiscal year or years and payable after the end of the applicable fiscal year or years (“Fiscal Year Bonus Compensation”).  The enrollment period established for deferral of Fiscal Year Bonus Compensation shall be made prior to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the applicable services are performed, in compliance with all requirements of Code Section 409A.
3.1.4    Performance-Based Compensation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may allow deferral elections or changes in deferral elections to be made no later than six (6) months before the end of the applicable performance period solely with respect to the deferral of any Compensation which qualifies as Performance-Based Compensation, if such deferral or change is in compliance with Code Section 409A and applicable authorities.  In order for an Eligible 

8 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

Employee to be eligible to defer Performance-Based Compensation in accordance with the deadline established in this Section, the Eligible Employee must have performed services continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period for such Compensation or the date on which the performance criteria for such Compensation was established through the date on which such election is made; provided, however, that no such election may be made after such Compensation has become readily ascertainable, consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
3.1.5    Severance Payments.  An Employer may provide for the deferral of, or a Participant may be offered an election to defer, up to 100% of specified Severance Payments at such time and in such manner as may be permitted by the Administrative Committee in its complete and sole discretion and in compliance with all requirements of Code Section 409A.
3.1.6    Irrevocability of Deferral Election.  After the beginning of the Plan Year (or the effective date of a mid-year commencement of participation, Fiscal Year Bonus Compensation deferral election or Performance-Based Compensation deferral election), or such earlier time as may be specified by the Administrative Committee in its discretion, deferral elections with respect to Compensation for services performed during such Plan Year (or other applicable performance period) shall be irrevocable except that the Administrative Committee may cancel a Participant’s deferral election(s) to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A: (i) in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, (ii) by reason of the Participant’s Qualifying Disability (as defined below), or (iii) as necessary for the Participant to receive a hardship distribution under the 401(k) Plan.  For purposes of this Section, “Qualifying Disability” shall be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall mean any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the Participant’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months.  The Administrative Committee will determine whether or not a Participant has incurred a Qualifying Disability based on such evidence as it deems necessary or advisable.  A Participant whose deferral election(s) have been cancelled pursuant to this Section may later resume making deferrals under the Plan only in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 3.1 and the requirements of Code Section 409A.
3.2    Company Contributions.  
3.2.1    Discretionary Company Contributions.  Except as provided in Section 3.2.2 below, the Employer shall have the discretion to make Company Contributions to the Plan at any time on behalf of any Participant.  Such Company Contributions shall be made in the complete and sole discretion of the Employer and no Participant shall have the right to receive any Company Contribution, regardless of whether Company Contributions are made on behalf of other Participants.
3.2.2    Company Matching Contributions.  The Employer may make a matching Company Contribution on behalf of each Participant for each Plan Year (or other applicable performance period) in which the Participant makes a deferral under this Plan based on such matching formula as may be specified by the Administrative Committee, in its discretion, in the election materials prior to commencement of the applicable Plan Year (or applicable performance period).  
3.3    Distribution Elections.
3.3.1    Initial Election.  At the time of making a deferral election under the Plan, the Participant shall designate the time and form of distribution of deferrals made pursuant to such election (together with notional earnings or losses credited thereon) from among the alternatives specified in 

9 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

Article 5, if eligible.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts credited to a Rollover Account shall be distributed at the same time and in the same form as the Participant elected under the prior terms of the Plan as in effect prior to the Restatement Date, subject to modifications permissible under Section 3.3.2 and Code Section 409A.  
3.3.2    Modification of Election.  A distribution election with respect to previously deferred amounts may be changed under the terms and conditions specified in Code Section 409A and the Plan.  Except as expressly provided in Article 5 (or otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A and applicable authorities), no acceleration of a distribution is permitted.  A subsequent election that delays payment or changes the form of payment shall be permitted if, and only if, all of the following requirements are met:
•    the new election does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new election is made;
•    in the case of a new election related to a payment not described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-3(a)(2), 1.409A-3(a)(3) or 1.409A-3(a)(6), the election delays such payment for at least five (5) years from the date that payment would otherwise have been made (or, in the case of installment payments, the first installment payment would otherwise have been made), absent the new election; and
•    in the case of a new election related to a payment described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a)(4), the election is made not less than twelve (12) months before the date on which payment would otherwise have been made (or, in the case of installment payments, the first installment payment would otherwise have been made) absent the new election.
For purposes of applying the above change limitations, substantially level installment payments shall be treated as a single payment.  Election changes made pursuant to this Section shall be made at the discretion of, and in accordance with rules established by, the Administrative Committee, and shall comply with all requirements of Code Section 409A and applicable authorities.
ARTICLE 4Accounts, Crediting and Vesting
4.1    Accounts.  Solely for recordkeeping purposes, up to two (2) Termination Accounts and three (3) Scheduled Distribution Accounts, or such greater number of each as may be permitted from time to time by the Administrative Committee, shall be maintained for each Participant and credited with the Participant’s deferrals as directed in the applicable Participant Election for such deferral.  One or more separate Company Contribution Accounts shall be maintained for the Participant and shall be credited with any Company Contributions at the time specified by the Administrative Committee.  A separate Severance Payment Account may be maintained for the Participant and shall be credited with deferred Severance Payments at the time specified by the Administrative Committee.  One or more separate Stock Unit Accounts may be maintained for the Participant and shall be credited with any deferred Restricted Stock Units and shall be credited at the time specified by the Administrative Committee.  One or more Rollover Accounts shall be established for Participants having vested or unvested Account balances as of the Restatement Date.  Each Account may be further divided into separate subaccounts for notional investment purposes (“Investment Subaccounts”) to accommodate the direction of investments as provided in Section 4.2.
4.2    Investment Direction and Crediting Rate.  Amounts, other than Restricted Stock Units, credited to a Participant’s Accounts shall be credited with notional earnings or losses in a manner 

10 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

determined in the discretion of the Administrative Committee.  Until such time as the Administrative Committee determines otherwise:
4.2.1    Rollover Accounts.  Rollover Accounts shall be credited with notional earnings at a fixed crediting rate established by the Administrative Committee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may establish a procedure at a future date to allow Rollover Accounts to be credited with notional earnings or losses based on the Participant’s investment direction according to the specifications of the following paragraph. 
4.2.2    New Accounts.  Accounts established after the Restatement Date, other than Stock Unit Accounts, shall be credited with notional earnings or losses based on the Participant’s choice among the investment alternatives or “funds” made available from time to time by the Administrative Committee.  The Administrative Committee may establish a procedure by which a Participant may choose among investment funds specified by the Administrative Committee and may change investment elections daily on each business day, subject to administrative feasibility.  At the discretion of the Administrative Committee, the Participant’s applicable Account balance shall reflect the notional earnings or losses on the investment funds selected by the Participant.  If an investment fund selected by a Participant sustains a loss, the Participant’s applicable Account shall be reduced to reflect such loss.  If the Participant fails to elect an investment alternative for a particular Account or Investment Subaccount, the notional crediting rate with respect to that Account or Investment Subaccount shall be based on the default investment alternative selected for this purpose by the Administrative Committee.  The Participant’s choice among investment funds shall be solely for purposes of the calculation of a notional crediting rate on the Participant’s applicable Accounts.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Company (and other Employers) shall have no obligation to set aside or invest funds as directed by the Participant and, whether or not the Company (or Employer) elects to invest funds as directed by the Participant, the Participant shall have no right to payment under the Plan other than as an unsecured general creditor of the Company (or Employer).   
4.2.3    Crediting During Payout Period.  During payout, the Participant’s Accounts, other than Stock Unit Accounts, shall continue to be credited at the notional crediting rate specified by the Administrative Committee or as selected by the Participant from among the investment alternatives or rates made available by the Administrative Committee.  Installment payments shall be recalculated annually by dividing the applicable Account balance by the number of payments remaining without regard to anticipated notional earnings or losses, or in any other reasonable manner as may be determined from time to time by the Administrative Committee.
4.3    Crediting of Stock Unit Accounts.  Stock Unit Accounts may be established under the Plan in the complete and sole discretion of the Administrative Committee and shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as may be specified by the Administrative Committee from time to time.  Amounts credited to a Stock Unit Account shall be distributed in the form of common stock of the Company or, in cash equal to the fair market value of the common stock of the Company as of the date of distribution, in the complete and sole discretion of the Administrative Committee, subject to the terms and limitations of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit plan and/or award agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no common stock shall be issued to a Participant in connection with a distribution under the Plan unless, and until, such Participant has executed such documentation as may be required by the Administrative Committee and agreed to comply with all applicable securities laws.  The Administrative Committee shall administer any Stock Unit Account consistent with the terms of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit plan and agreement.  The Administrative Committee shall have the discretion to make adjustments in the number of shares, or convert or allow a Participant to elect to convert shares, if any, payable with respect to Restricted Stock Units credited to a Stock Unit Account 

11 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

to an alternative form of security or cash as appropriate to accomplish the intent of the Plan to treat notional Restricted Stock Unit credits similarly to actual shares of Company common stock, all as may be directed by the Administrative Committee, in its complete and sole discretion, subject to the terms and limitations of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit plan and/or award agreement.  Prior to any distribution of common stock, Participants shall have no rights as shareholders with respect to amounts or units credited to a Stock Unit Account except that Participants shall be entitled to receive additional credits to such Account in the amount of any cash or stock dividends payable on shares of Company common stock equal in number to the vested Restricted Stock Units credited to such Stock Unit Account.  Any dividends payable on vested Restricted Stock Units credited to a Stock Unit Account shall be denominated in Restricted Stock Units and result in a credit of additional notional Restricted Stock Units to the applicable Stock Unit Account.  Pursuant to Code Section 409A, such dividend equivalents shall be considered current earnings on the Stock Unit Account and shall be credited to the appropriate Account as of the date dividends are paid to shareholders of the Company and distributed at the same time and in the same form elected for the applicable Stock Unit Account.  
4.4    Crediting of Accounts.  A Participant’s Accounts shall be credited as follows:
4.4.1    Participant Deferrals.  On or before the third (3rd) business day after amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Participant’s applicable Account with an amount equal to Compensation deferred by the Participant and shall allocate such amount to Investment Subaccounts in accordance with the Participant’s election under Section 4.2.2 or, in the case of a deferral of Restricted Stock Units, to the applicable Stock Unit Accounts.
4.4.2    Company Contributions.  On the date specified by the Administrative Committee for the crediting of a Company Contribution to the Plan on behalf of a Participant, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Participant’s Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Company Contribution and shall allocate such amount to Investment Subaccounts in accordance with the Participant’s election under Section 4.2.2.
4.4.3    Distributions.  Distributions shall be deducted by the Administrative Committee from the applicable Account as of the end of the day on which such distributions are made.
4.4.4    Notional Earnings or Losses.  Each business day, a Participant’s Accounts (other than Stock Unit Accounts) shall be credited with notional earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Accounts or applicable Investment Subaccounts as of the prior day, less any distributions valued as of the end of the prior day, by the notional crediting rate for the corresponding fund as determined by the Administrative Committee. 
4.5    Vesting of Accounts.  The  Participant shall be vested at all times in amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts, other than the Participant’s Company Contribution Accounts.  Amounts credited to the Participant’s Company Contribution Accounts shall vest in accordance with the schedule determined and provided to the Participant at the time of contribution by the Administrative Committee.  Unless otherwise specified by the Administrative Committee, amounts credited to the Participant’s Company Contribution Account for a particular Plan Year shall vest at the end of the second Plan Year commencing after the Plan Year in which the services are performed in connection with such Company Contribution, provided that the Participant has not incurred a Separation from Service as of the scheduled vesting date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control or termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 9.1, all Company Contribution Accounts shall be fully vested as of such date.

12 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

4.6    Statement of Accounts.  The Administrative Committee shall make available to each Participant electronic statements at least annually setting forth the Participant’s Account balances as of the end of each Plan Year.
ARTICLE 5Distributions and Benefits 
5.1    Distribution of Rollover Accounts.  Rollover Accounts shall be distributed under the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect prior to the Restatement Date, subject to modifications permissible under Section 3.3.2 and Code Section 409A.
5.2    Distribution of Severance Payment Accounts.  Severance Payment Accounts shall be distributed on the Payment Date following the first anniversary of a Participant’s Separation from Service in the form of a single lump sum unless that Participant has made an alternative benefit election on a timely basis pursuant to Section 3.3 to receive the benefits in substantially equal annual installments over up to five (5) years commencing on the Payment Date following the first anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
5.3    Termination Distributions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service other than by reason of death or Disability, the Distributable Amount credited to the Participant’s Termination Accounts, Company Contribution Accounts and Stock Unit Accounts shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum on the Payment Date following the Participant’s Separation from Service unless, with respect to any individual Account where the Distributable Amount is at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in value as of the commencement of distributions from such Account, the Participant has made an alternative benefit election on a timely basis pursuant to Section 3.3 to receive the benefits in substantially equal annual installments over up to twenty (20) years commencing on the Payment Date following the Participant’s Separation from Service.    
5.4    Scheduled Distributions.  Each Participant shall be entitled to elect in accordance with Section 3.3 to allocate Participant deferrals (and, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee, Company Contributions) among up to three (3) Scheduled Distribution Accounts, or such greater number as may be permitted from time to time by the Administrative Committee.  Distributions from a Scheduled Distribution Account shall commence on the earlier of the Payment Date in the Plan Year specified by the Participant for such Account (the “Specified Distribution Date”), or the Participant’s Separation from Service other than by reason of death or Disability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deferrals shall be allocated to a Scheduled Distribution Account having a Specified Distribution Date which is earlier than the first day of the second Plan Year commencing after the Plan Year in which the deferrals would be credited to the Account.  Payment from a Scheduled Distribution Account shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum unless the Participant has made a timely election under Section 3.3 that, if the Distributable Amount from a Scheduled Distribution Account is at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) as of commencement of distribution, such amount shall be paid in substantially equal annual installments over a period of up to five (5) years.  In the event that amounts are mistakenly credited to a Scheduled Distribution Account having no Specified Distribution Date or a noncompliant commencement date, payments from such Account shall commence on Separation from Service and shall be distributed in the form of a single lump sum. A Participant may only delay and/or change the form of a Scheduled Distribution, provided such change complies with Section 3.3.2. 
5.5    Death and Disability Benefits.  In the event of the Participant’s death or Disability prior to the commencement of, or the complete payment of, all benefits payable under the Plan, the Employer shall pay to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, as applicable, a benefit equal to the 

13 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

Distributable Amount of all of the Participant’s Accounts (other than a Rollover Account) in the form of a single lump sum payable at the end of the fifteenth (15th) month commencing after the month in which such event occurs, unless the Participant or Beneficiary, as applicable, makes a timely election during the first three (3) months following the event in compliance with Section 3.3.2 to receive the benefits over a period of up to fifteen (15) years in substantially equal annual installments.
5.6    Small Benefit Distribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the sum of all benefits payable to the Participant from all of the Participant’s Accounts at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service (and all other amounts payable to the Participant under other arrangements which are aggregated with this Plan under Section Code 409A) is less than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) for the calendar year of payment, the Administrative Committee may, in its complete and sole discretion, pay all benefits to the Participant under the Plan in a single lump sum on the Payment Date following Separation from Service, subject to compliance with all requirements of Code Section 409A. 
5.7    Distribution on Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs before the applicable Account (other than a Rollover Account) has been fully distributed, the remaining balance of such Account shall be distributed in the form of a single lump sum payable at the end of the fifteenth (15th) month following the month in which such Change in Control occurs, unless the Participant makes a timely election during the first three (3) months following the Change in Control in compliance with Section 3.3.2 to delay commencement of benefits from such Account by a minimum of five (5) years and to receive the benefits in the form of a single lump sum or over a period of up to fifteen (15) years in substantially equal annual installments.
5.8    Hardship Distribution.  Upon a finding that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, subject to compliance with Code Section 409A, the Administrative Committee may, at the request of the Participant, approve a complete cessation of current deferrals under the Plan or accelerate distribution of benefits in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate such financial hardship.  The request to take a Hardship Distribution shall be made in the form and manner specified by the Administrative Committee.  The amount distributed pursuant to this Section with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such financial emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship), or by taking into account the additional compensation that is available to the Participant as the result of cancellation of deferrals to the Plan. The amount determined by the Administrative Committee as a Hardship Distribution shall be paid in a single cash lump sum as soon as practicable after the end of the calendar month in which the Hardship Distribution election is made and approved by the Administrative Committee. 
5.9    Designated Payment Date.  Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(d), a payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan (the “Designated Payment Date”) if the payment is made (a) at such date or a later date within the same taxable year of the applicable Participant or, if later, by the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following the Designated Payment Date, or no earlier than thirty (30) days before the Designated Payment Date, and (b) the Participant is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of any payment.

ARTICLE 6
Payee Designations and Limitations
6.1    Beneficiaries.  Each Participant may, pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Committee may specify, designate one or more Beneficiaries to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant’s death.
6.1.1    Spousal Consent.  If a Participant designates a person or entity other than or in addition to his or her legal spouse as a primary Beneficiary, the designation will be ineffective unless the Participant’s spouse consents to the designation.  Any spousal consent required under this Section 6.1.1 will be ineffective unless it (a) is set forth in the form and manner specified in the discretion of the Administrative Committee, (b) acknowledges the effect of the Participant’s designation of another person or entity as his or her primary Beneficiary under the Plan, and (c) is signed by the spouse and witnessed by an authorized agent of the Administrative Committee or a notary public.  Notwithstanding this consent requirement, if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that spousal consent may not be obtained because the spouse cannot be located, his or her designation will be effective without spousal consent.  Any spousal consent required under this Section 6.1.1 will be valid only with respect to the spouse who signs the consent.  A Participant may revoke his or her Beneficiary designation at any time, provided such revocation is made pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Committee may specify, and regardless of his or her spouse’s previous consent to the Beneficiary designation being revoked, any such revoked designation shall be ineffective. 
6.1.2    Changes and Failed Designations.  A Participant may designate different Beneficiaries (or may revoke a prior Beneficiary designation) at any time by delivering a new designation (or revocation of a prior designation) in accordance with Section 6.1.1.  Any designation will be effective only upon its receipt by the Administrative Committee or its designee in good form but shall cease to be effective when a revocation of that designation is received by the Administrative Committee or its designee.  The last effective designation received by the Administrative Committee will supersede all prior designations.  However, if a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Administrative Committee shall direct the distribution of such benefits to the Participant’s surviving legal spouse, or, if the Participant is not survived by a legal spouse, to the Participant’s estate.  
6.2    Payments to Minors.  In the event any amount is payable under the Plan to a minor, payment shall not be made to the minor, but instead shall be paid (i) to that person’s living parent(s) to act as custodian, (ii) if that person’s parents are then divorced, and one parent is the sole custodial parent, to such custodial parent, to act as custodian, or (iii) if no parent of that person is then living and the Administrative Committee so determines, to a custodian selected by the Administrative Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides.  If no parent is living and the Administrative Committee decides not to select a custodian to hold the funds for the minor, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate for the minor or, if no guardian of the estate for the minor is duly appointed and currently acting within sixty (60) days after the date the amount becomes payable, payment shall be deposited with the court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor.

ARTICLE 8Conditions Related to Benefits
8.1    Nonassignability.  The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by any person, at any time, or to any person whatsoever.  Those benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or other claimants of the Participant or Beneficiary and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishments or executions to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may establish procedures whereby some or all of one or more of a Participant’s Account balances may be accelerated and/or paid to an alternative payee pursuant to a domestic relations order which complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii).
8.2    No Right to Company or Employer Assets.  The benefits paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Employer or the Company, and the Participant and any Beneficiary shall be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Employer or the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer or the Company for payment of any obligations hereunder.
8.3    Protective Provisions.  The Participant shall cooperate with the Administrative Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrative Committee, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Administrative Committee may deem necessary, consenting to insurance coverage and taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrative Committee.  If the Participant refuses to so cooperate, the Employer and the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.  
8.4    Compliance with Securities Laws.  All payments scheduled to be made under the Plan shall comply with all applicable securities laws and may be delayed if the Administrative Committee reasonably believes that making the payment will violate any federal or state securities laws, subject to compliance with all applicable laws.  Any such delayed payment will be made at the earliest date at which the Administrative Committee reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation.  For this purpose, the making of a payment under the Plan that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code will not be treated as a violation of applicable law.
8.5    Payments Subject to Code Section 162(m).  Any payment scheduled to be made under the Plan may be delayed in the complete and sole discretion of the Administrative Committee to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that if the payment were made as scheduled, the Employer’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Code Section 162(m).  Any such delayed payment shall be made at the earliest date the Administrate Committee reasonably anticipates that the Employer’s deduction of such payment will not be barred by the application of Code Section 162(m), subject to compliance with all requirements of Code Section 409A.
8.6    Withholding.  The Participant shall make appropriate arrangements with the Administrative Committee for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements, Social Security and other employee tax or other requirements applicable to the deferral, crediting, vesting or payment of benefits under the Plan.  The Company intends to deduct from each payment made under the Plan or any other compensation (including Company Contributions) payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all applicable taxes required to be withheld in respect of such payment or this Plan.  The Employer shall have the right to reduce any payment (or other compensation) by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

18 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

8.7    Receipt or Release.  Any payment made in good faith to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the HRCC, the Administrative Committee, their members and the Company and each Participating Affiliate.  The Administrative Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. 
8.8    Trust.  The Company ultimately shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Plan.  At its discretion, the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for the payment of benefits under the Plan.  Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company (or Employer).  Neither such trust or trusts, nor the assets thereof, however, shall be located outside of the United States.  Benefits paid to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) from any such trust or trusts shall be considered paid by the Company (or Employer) for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company (or Employer) under the Plan.
8.9    No Guarantee of Tax Consequences.  Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, Participants (or their Beneficiaries) solely shall be responsible for all taxes and any other costs owed by them with respect to any deferrals or payments made under the Plan.  The HRCC, the Administrative Committee, the Company and the other Employers make no guarantees regarding the tax treatment to any person of any deferrals or payments made under the Plan.  Moreover, in no event will any Employer reimburse or pay any Participant or Beneficiary for any taxes or other costs incurred as a result of participation in the Plan.
ARTICLE 9Miscellaneous
9.1    Amendment or Termination of Plan.  The HRCC (or its authorized delegate) may, at any time amend or terminate the Plan, except that no such amendment or termination may reduce a Participant’s Account balances, reduce or delay the vesting of a Participant’s Accounts or change the timing of payments except to the extent specifically permitted under Code Section 409A.  If the Plan is terminated, no further amounts shall be deferred hereunder, and amounts previously deferred or contributed to the Plan shall be fully vested and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as scheduled prior to the Plan termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the HRCC may, in its complete and sole discretion, accelerate distributions under the Plan, whether upon termination of the Plan or otherwise, under any circumstances specifically authorized under Code Section 409A and applicable authorities not resulting in the imposition of additional Code Section 409A taxes or penalties.
9.2    Errors in Account Statements, Deferrals or Distributions.  In the event an error is made in an Account statement, such error shall be corrected on the next statement following the date such error is discovered.  In the event of an error in deferral amount, the error shall be corrected as soon as administratively practicable after discovery; (i) in the case of an excess deferral, by distribution of the excess amount to the Participant, or, (ii) in the case of an under deferral, by reduction of other compensation payable to the Participant in compliance with all requirements of Code Section 409A.  In the event of an error in a distribution, the over or under payment shall be corrected by payment to or collection from the Participant consistent with the requirements of, or correction procedures established under, Code Section 409A, as soon as administratively practicable after the discovery of such error. In the event of an overpayment, the Administrative Committee may, at its discretion, offset other amounts payable to the Participant from the Employer (including but not limited to salary, bonuses, expense reimbursements, severance benefits or other employee compensation benefit arrangements, as allowed 

19 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

by law and subject to compliance with Code Section 409A) to recoup the amount of such overpayment(s).
9.3    Employment Not Guaranteed.  Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as a contract of employment or for services, or as giving any Participant any right to continue the provision of services in any capacity whatsoever to the Company or any Participating Affiliate.
9.4    Successors of the Employer.  The rights and obligations of each Employer under the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the applicable Employer.
9.5    Notice.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company or the Participant under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail to, in the case of the Company, the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the Administrative Committee, and in the case of the Participant, to the last known address of the Participant indicated on the employment records of the Company.  Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.  Notices to the Company may be permitted by electronic communication according to specifications established by the Administrative Committee.
9.6    Headings.  Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.
9.7    Gender, Singular and Plural.  All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require.  As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.
9.8    Validity.  In the event any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan.
9.9    Waiver of Breach.  The waiver by the Company or Employer of any breach of any provision of the Plan shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that Participant or any other Participant. 
9.10    Governing Law.  The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of “management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.  In the event any provision of, or legal issue relating to, this Plan is not fully preempted by federal law, such issue or provision shall be governed by the laws of the State of California (other than its conflict of laws provisions). 
9.11    Binding Arbitration.  Any claim, dispute or other matter in question of any kind relating to this Plan (other than a Disability Claim to the extent binding arbitration is prohibited by ERISA) that is not resolved by the claims and review procedures under this Plan shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the applicable employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Notice of demand for arbitration shall be made in writing to the opposing party and to the American Arbitration Association within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen.  In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when the applicable statute of limitations would bar the institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, 

20 

Applied Materials, Inc. 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan

dispute or other matter in question.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrators may award reasonable fees and expenses to the prevailing party in any dispute hereunder and shall award reasonable fees and expenses in the event that the arbitrators find that the losing party acted in bad faith or with intent to harass, hinder or delay the prevailing party in the exercise of its rights in connection with the matter under dispute.
9.12    Code Section 457A.  Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, if the Administrative Committee determines that any deferred amount under the Plan is includible in a Participant’s income under Code Section 457A and applicable guidance thereunder, such amount shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum in the Participant’s taxable year of such inclusion to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder, including, but not limited to, Q&A 26 of IRS Notice 2009-8.
