Photon Dynamics, Inc.

2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan

Stock Option Agreement

(Nonstatutory Stock Option)

     Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Option Agreement,
Photon Dynamics, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you an option under its 2005 Non-Employee
Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common
Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined
terms not explicitly defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the
same definitions as in the Plan.

     The details of your option are as follows:

     1.     Vesting.     Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in
your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous
Service.

     2.     Number Of Shares And Exercise Price.     The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your
option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time
to time for Capitalization Adjustments.

     3.     [Exercise Prior To Vesting (“Early Exercise”).     If permitted in your Grant Notice (i.e.,
the “Exercise Schedule” indicates that “Early Exercise” of your option is permitted) and subject to
the provisions of your option, you may elect at any time that is both (i) during the period of your
Continuous Service and (ii) during the term of your option, to exercise all or part of your option,
including the nonvested portion of your option; provided, however, that:

          (a)     a partial exercise of your option shall be deemed to cover first vested shares of Common
Stock and then the earliest vesting installment of unvested shares of Common Stock;

          (b)     any shares of Common Stock so purchased from installments that have not vested as of the
date of exercise shall be subject to the purchase option in favor of the Company as described in
the Company’s form of Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement; and

          (c)     you shall enter into the Company’s form of Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement with a
vesting schedule that will result in the same vesting as if no early exercise had occurred.]

     4.     Method Of Payment.     Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or
any part of your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check
or in any other manner permitted by your Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the
following:

1.

 

          (a)     In the Company’s sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at
the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street
Journal, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check)
by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to
the Company from the sales proceeds.

          (b)     Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted
regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock either
that you have held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings
(generally six (6) months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly from the Company,
that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that
are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. “Delivery” for these purposes, in the
sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the
Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a form approved by the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company
of Common Stock to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or
agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.

     5.     Whole Shares.     You may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock.

     6.     Securities Law Compliance.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you
may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then
registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered,
the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option also must comply with other
applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the
Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and
regulations.

     7.     Term.     You may not exercise your option before the commencement or after the expiration of
its term. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of
the following:

          (a)     immediately upon the termination of your Continuous Service for Cause;

          (b)     three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other
than Cause, Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such three (3) month period
you may not exercise your option solely because of the condition set forth in the preceding
paragraph relating to “Securities Law Compliance,” your option shall not expire until the earlier
of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3)
months after the termination of your Continuous Service;

          (c)     twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your
Disability;

2.

 

          (d)     eighteen (18) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or
within three (3) months after your Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than Cause;

          (e)     the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or

          (f)     the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.

     [Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that your Continuous Service terminates as of,
[or within twelve (12) months following] a Change in Control, you may exercise your option (to the
extent that you were entitled to exercise such option as of the date of termination of Continuous
Service) within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date indicated in
your Grant Notice [or (ii) the date twelve (12) months following the termination of your Continuous
Service]. If, after termination of Continuous Service, you do not exercise your option within the
time specified herein, the option shall terminate.]

     8.     Exercise.

          (a)     You may exercise the vested portion of your option (and the unvested portion of your
option if your Grant Notice so permits) during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a
form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company,
or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with
such additional documents as the Company may then require.

          (b)     By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option,
the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the
Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of
your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares of Common
Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the disposition of shares of Common Stock
acquired upon such exercise.

     9.     Transferability.     Your option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may
designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise
your option.

     10.     Option Not A Service Contract.     Your option is not an employment or service contract, and
nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part
to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to
continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an
Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue
any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

3.

 

     11.     Withholding Obligations.

          (a)     At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as
requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts
payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a
“cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the
federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if
any, which arise in connection with the exercise of your option.

          (b)     Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and
compliance with any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Company may withhold from
fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a
number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of
the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or
such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting). If the date of
determination of any tax withholding obligation is deferred to a date later than the date of
exercise of your option, share withholding pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be
permitted unless you make a proper and timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code, covering
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise with respect to which
such determination is otherwise deferred, to accelerate the determination of such tax withholding
obligation to the date of exercise of your option. Notwithstanding the filing of such election,
shares of Common Stock shall be withheld solely from fully vested shares of Common Stock determined
as of the date of exercise of your option that are otherwise issuable to you upon such exercise.
Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall
be your sole responsibility.

          (c)     You may not exercise your option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company
and/or any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when
desired even though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a
certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such shares of Common Stock from any escrow
provided for herein unless such obligations are satisfied.

     12.     Notices.     Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall be given in writing
and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by
the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

     13.     Governing Plan Document.     Your option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the
provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and
adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option
and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan an award of
[Number] Shares for $0.01 per Share, commencing on the Grant Date, subject to all of the terms and
conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. By accepting this grant of Restricted Stock, the par
value purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock (a) will be deemed paid by the Employee by
past services rendered by the Employee, if the Employee is an existing employee of the Company or
one of its Affiliates and not a newly-hired employee, or (b) shall be paid to the Company by cash
or check by the Employee, if the Employee is a newly-hired employee of the Company or one of its
Affiliates. Only whole shares shall be issued.

     2. Shares Held in Escrow. Unless and until the Shares will have vested in the manner
set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5, such Shares will be issued in the name of the Employee and
held by the Stock Programs Department of the Company (or its designee) as escrow agent (the “Escrow
Agent”), and will not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and will not be pledged or
otherwise hypothecated. The Company may determine to issue the Shares in book entry form and/or
may instruct the transfer agent for its Common Stock to place a legend on the certificates
representing the Restricted Stock or otherwise note its records as to the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The certificate or certificates representing such Shares
will not be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Employee unless and until the Shares have vested
and all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied.

     3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5,
and subject to paragraph 6, the Shares awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the
vesting provisions set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Shares shall not vest in the
Employee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Employee shall have
been continuously employed by the Company or by one of its Affiliates from the Grant Date until the
date otherwise is scheduled to occur.

     4. Modifications to Vesting Schedule.

     (a) Vesting upon Change to Part-time Status. In the event that the Employee’s employment
with the Company or an Affiliate changes from full-time status to part-time status, and the change
to part-time status lasts more than six (6) months during any rolling twelve (12) month period, the
Shares awarded by this Agreement that are scheduled to vest during the twelve (12) months following
the day the Employee first attains part-time status (as defined below) shall be determined
according to the following formula (rounded to the nearest whole share):

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	number of shares that

	 	X
	 	average number of hours worked per week during part-time
	 	=
	 	new number
	would have vested

	 	 	 	status divided by the hours worked in a standard work week
	 	 	 	of shares that will vest

2

 

     For purposes of this Agreement, “part-time status” means the Employee is scheduled to
work an average number of hours per week that equals seventy-five percent (75%) or less of the
total number of hours in a standard work week for a period greater than six (6) months, as
determined over a rolling twelve (12) month period.

     Only Shares that are not yet vested may be modified pursuant to the preceding formula. Shares
awarded by this Agreement that are no longer vested as a result of the change to part-time status
will never vest and instead will terminate. The preceding formula will be reapplied if the Employee
continues to be on part-time status following the conclusion of the twelve (12) month measurement
period. The number of Shares awarded by this Agreement shall be modified according to the preceding
formula unless otherwise recommended by the Company’s Vice President of Human Resources (“VP of
HR”) and approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) or prohibited by applicable
law. If the Employee is or was an executive officer of the Company, any modification of the
preceding formula instead is subject to the approval of the Human Resources and Compensation
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”).

     (i) Example 1. Employee is scheduled to vest in 100 Shares on July 1, 2007. Employee has a
standard work week of 40 hours. On May 1, 2006, Employee begins working 20 hours per week, and
continues to work 20 hours per week for two (2) months. Employee will still be scheduled to vest
in 100 Shares on July 1, 2007.

     (ii) Example 2. Employee is scheduled to vest in 100 Shares on July 1, 2007. Employee has a
standard work week of 40 hours. On May 1, 2006, Employee begins working 20 hours per week, and
continues to work 20 hours per week for seven (7) months. Employee now will be scheduled to vest
in 50 Shares on July 1, 2007. The other 50 Shares that were scheduled to vest on July 1, 2007 will
never vest and instead will terminate.

     (iii) Example 3. Employee is scheduled to vest in 100 Shares on December 1, 2006. Employee has
a standard work week of 40 hours. On May 1, 2006, Employee begins working 30 hours per week, and
continues to work 30 hours per week for nine (9) months. Employee therefore attains part-time
status on November 2, 2006. Employee now will be scheduled to vest in 75 Shares on December 1,
2006. The other 25 Shares that were scheduled to vest on December 1, 2006 will never vest and
instead will terminate.

     In the event applicable law prohibits the modification under the preceding formula, the
Employee agrees that the CEO may extend the vesting period with respect to an award of Restricted
Stock or reduce the Shares awarded by this Agreement on a pro rata basis, as reasonably determined
by the CEO and to the extent permitted under applicable law, commensurate with the Employee’s
change to part-time status; provided that any such modification shall not affect a greater number
of Shares than the number of Shares that would have been modified pursuant to the preceding
formula.

     (b) Vesting upon Personal Leave of Absence. In the event that the Employee takes a personal
leave of absence (“PLOA”), the Shares awarded by this Agreement that are scheduled to vest shall be
modified as follows:

3

 

     (i) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is six (6) months or less, the vesting schedule set
forth on the first page of this Agreement shall not be affected by the Employee’s PLOA.

     (ii) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is greater than six (6) months but not more than
twelve (12) months, the scheduled vesting of any Shares awarded by this Agreement that are not then
vested shall be deferred for a period of time equal to the duration of the Employee’s PLOA less six
(6) months unless otherwise recommended by the Company’s VP of HR.

     (iii) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is greater than twelve (12) months, any Shares
awarded by this Agreement that are not then vested immediately will terminate unless otherwise
recommended by the Company’s VP of HR and approved by the CEO.

     (iv) Example 1. Employee is scheduled to vest in Shares on January 1, 2007. On May 1, 2006,
Employee begins a six-month PLOA. Employee’s Shares will still be scheduled to vest on January 1,
2007.

     (v) Example 2. Employee is scheduled to vest in Shares on January 1, 2007. On May 1, 2006,
Employee begins a nine-month PLOA. Employee’s Shares awarded by this Agreement that are scheduled
to vest after November 2, 2006 will be modified (this is the date on which the Employee’s PLOA
exceeds six (6) months). Employee’s Shares now will be scheduled to vest on April 1, 2007 (three
(3) months after the originally scheduled date).

     (vi) Example 3. Employee is scheduled to vest in Shares on January 1, 2007. On May 1, 2006,
Employee begins a 13-month PLOA. Employee’s Shares will terminate on May 2, 2007 unless otherwise
recommended by the Company’s VP of HR and approved by the CEO.

     In general, a “personal leave of absence” does not include any legally required leave of
absence. The duration of the Employee’s PLOA will be determined over a rolling 12-month measurement
period. Shares awarded by this Agreement that are scheduled to vest during the first six (6) months
of the Employee’s PLOA will continue to vest as scheduled. However, Shares awarded by this
Agreement that are scheduled to vest after the first six (6) months of the Employee’s PLOA will be
deferred or terminated depending on the length of the Employee’s PLOA. The Employee’s right to vest
in Shares awarded by this Agreement shall be modified as soon as the duration of the Employee’s
PLOA exceeds six (6) months.

     (c) Death of Employee. In the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Service due to
his or her death, one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to this Restricted Stock award
shall vest on the date of the Employee’s death. In the event that any applicable law limits the
Company’s ability to accelerate the vesting of this award of Restricted Stock, this Paragraph 4(c)
shall be limited to the extent required to comply with applicable law. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, if the Employee is subject to Hong Kong’s ORSO provisions, the first
sentence of this Paragraph 4 (c) shall not apply to this award of Restricted Stock.

4

 

     5. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting
of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Shares at any time, subject
to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Shares will be considered as having vested as of
the date specified by the Committee.

     6. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance
of the Shares that have not vested at the time of Employee’s Termination of Service will be
forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company
upon the date the Employee incurs a Termination of Service for any reason. The Employee shall not
be entitled to a refund of the price paid for the Shares returned to the Company pursuant to this
paragraph 6. The Employee hereby appoints the Escrow Agent with full power of substitution, as the
Employee’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on
behalf of the Employee to take any action and execute all documents and instruments, including,
without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or certificates
evidencing such unvested Shares to the Company upon such Termination of Service.

     7. Withholding of Taxes. The Company (or the employing Affiliate) will withhold a
portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay federal, state and
local income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or
the employing Affiliate with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion,
requires the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such
withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares
withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no
refund for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such
rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Restricted Stock will be
granted unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) will have been
made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company
determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the
maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Affiliate) has the right to retain
without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value
to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through
the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to the
Restricted Stock award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of
the Employee.

     8. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or
through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in
respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares
will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars,
and delivered to the Employee or the Escrow Agent. Except as provided in paragraph 10, after such
issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to voting such Shares. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this
Agreement, any quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends (as determined by the Company) paid
on unvested Shares shall be forfeited by the Employee and automatically returned to the Company.

5

 

The Company shall be entitled to receive any dividends and/or distributions on any Shares held
by the Escrow Agent until such Shares have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 through
5.

     9. No Effect on Employment. Subject to any employment contract with the Employee, the
terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or the Affiliate
employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the Affiliate employing the
Employee, as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate
or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with
or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth
on the first page of this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued
employment for any period of time. A leave of absence or an interruption in service (including an
interruption during military service) authorized or acknowledged by the Company or the Affiliate
employing the Employee, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a Termination of Service for the
purposes of this Agreement.

     10. Changes in Shares. In the event that as a result of a stock or extraordinary cash
dividend, stock split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or
the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger,
consolidation, spin-off or other corporate transaction or event, the Shares will be increased,
reduced or otherwise affected, and by virtue of any such event the Employee will in his or her
capacity as owner of unvested Shares which have been awarded to him or her (the “Prior Shares”) be
entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash or other securities or property
(other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different shares,
cash or securities or property will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and
will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Shares
pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the Employee receives rights or warrants with respect
to any Prior Shares, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Employee, provided
that until such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or other
securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be considered to be unvested
Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were
applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Committee in its
absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such new or
additional shares of Restricted Stock, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase
securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants.

     11. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of
this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Programs, at Applied Materials,
Inc., 2881 Scott Blvd., M/S 2023, Santa Clara, CA 95050, or at such other address as the Company
may hereafter designate in writing.

     12. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in this
Agreement, the unvested Shares subject to this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby
will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law
or

6

 

otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process.
Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any unvested
Shares subject to this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted
sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges
conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

     13. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested
Restricted Stock awarded under this Agreement will be registered under U. S. federal securities
laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, an Employee’s subsequent sale of the
Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must
comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws.

     14. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant
contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     15. Additional Conditions to Release from Escrow. The Company shall not be required
to issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder or release such Shares from the
