For Employees employed in France on the Grant Date:

	A.	 	The Exercise Price per Share is the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date, or
(ii) 95% of the average Fair Market Value of the

may not be sold or transferred until the expiration of the holding period provided by article 163 bis C of the French Tax Code,
currently four years after the Grant Date of the Option.

For Employees employed in Israel on the Grant Date: Options for Israeli employees are granted under a tax-qualified plan, called a
Section 102 capital gains tax route plan. Information regarding the Section 102 capital gains tax route plan and related forms will
be provided to the Israeli employees by their managers. In addition to the foregoing, in order to qualify for favorable tax
treatment, the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option generally must not be sold until the expiration of the holding period
provided by Section 102 of the Israel Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, currently two years from the Grant Date of the
Option. Clicking your acceptance of this electronic agreement will also indicate your acceptance of the capital gains tax route

month period preceding the Grant Date.

For Employees employed in the United Kingdom (U.K.) on the Grant Date:

A. Inland Revenue Approved Options. If this Option is granted under the Inland Revenue approved sub-plan, the Exercise Price per
Share is the Fair Market Value on the trading day preceding the Grant Date. The maximum aggregate value of all Inland Revenue
approved Options held by the Employee at any one time may not exceed £30,000. If the £30,000 threshold is met, any additional
Options granted to the Employee will be standard non-qualified Options.

B. National Insurance Contribution (“NIC”). As a condition to your acceptance of this Option (both Inland Revenue approved
Options and non-qualified Options), you must sign an election under which you agree to pay all NICs that may become due on any gains
realized upon exercise of the Option (with certain exceptions). The NICs include the “primary” NIC payable by an employee as well
as the “secondary” NIC payable by the employer in the absence of any election (referred to as the Secondary Contributions under
paragraph 3B(4) of Schedule 1 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act of 1992). Payment of secondary NIC will be
through deduction at source, if practicable, in the form of withholding from (1) Employee’s salary or (2) the proceeds of a
“cashless” exercise or “same-day-sale” of shares issued upon exercise of the Option. If withholding is not practicable, you may
elect to make the secondary NIC payment either (a) directly to the Company by cash or check or (b) through the transfer of proceeds
to the Company from the sale of shares held by you.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED

STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT

1. Vesting Schedule. As of the date of this Agreement, this option is scheduled to
become exercisable (vest) as to the number of shares, and on the dates shown, on the first page of
the Nonqualified Stock Option Grant Agreement. In all cases, on any such scheduled vesting date,
vesting actually will occur only if the Employee has been continuously employed by the Company or
an Affiliate from the Grant Date until the scheduled vesting date (except to the limited extent
provided in Paragraphs 3 and 5).

2. Modifications to Vesting Schedule. In the event that the Employee takes a personal
leave of absence (“PLOA”), the shares subject to this option that are scheduled to become
exercisable shall be modified as follows:

          (a) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is six (6) months or less, the vesting schedule set
forth on the UBS One Source website (click on the specific grant under the tab labeled
“Grants/Awards/Units”) shall not be affected by the Employee’s PLOA.

          (b) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is greater than six (6) months but not more than
twelve (12) months, the scheduled exercisability of any shares subject to this option that are not
then exercisable 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.

          (c) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is greater than twelve (12) months, any shares
subject to this option that are not then exercisable immediately will terminate unless otherwise
recommended by the Company’s VP of HR and approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the
“CEO”).

          (d) Example 1. Employee is scheduled to vest in shares on January 1, 2007. On May 1, 2006,
Employee begins a 6-month PLOA. Employee’s shares still will be scheduled to vest on January 1,
2007.

          (e) Example 2. Employee is scheduled to vest in shares on January 1, 2007. On May 1, 2006,
Employee begins a 9-month PLOA. Employee’s shares subject to this option that are scheduled to
become exercisable after November 2, 2006 will be modified (this is the date on which the
Employee’s PLOA exceeds 6 months). Employee’s shares now will be scheduled to vest on April 1,
2007 (3 months after the originally scheduled date).

          (f) 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 twelve (12) month
measurement period. Shares subject to this option that are scheduled to vest during the first six
(6) months of the Employee’s PLOA will continue to vest as scheduled. However, shares subject to
this option 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
exercise all shares subject to this option that remain unexercisable shall be modified as soon as
the duration of the Employee’s PLOA exceeds six (6) months.

3. Additional Vesting upon Retirement of Employee. In the event that the Employee is age
sixty (60) or over and completes at least ten (10) Years of Service and then incurs a Termination
of Service due to Retirement, the right to exercise all or a portion of any shares subject to this
option that remain unexercisable immediately prior to such Retirement shall vest on the date on
which the Retirement occurs as follows:

-1-

 

          (a) if the Employee has less than fifteen (15) Years of Service as of the date of his or her
Retirement, fifty percent (50%) of the shares that otherwise would have vested during the twelve
(12) months immediately following the Retirement (had the Employee remained an Employee throughout
such twelve (12) month period) shall vest on the Retirement date;

          (b) if the Employee has at least fifteen (15) (but less than twenty (20)) Years of Service as
of the date of the Retirement, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares that otherwise would have
vested during the twelve (12) months immediately following the Retirement (had the Employee
remained an Employee throughout such twelve (12) month period) shall vest on the Retirement date;

          (c) if the Employee has at least twenty (20) (but less than twenty-five (25)) Years of Service
as of the date of the Retirement, (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the shares that otherwise would
have vested during the twelve (12) months immediately following the Retirement (had the Employee
remained an Employee throughout such twelve (12) month period) shall accrue on the Retirement date,
and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the shares that otherwise would have vested during the second
twelve (12) months following the Retirement (had the Employee remained an Employee throughout such
second twelve (12) month period) shall vest on the Retirement date; and

          (d) if the Employee has at least twenty-five (25) Years of Service as of the date of the
Retirement, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares that otherwise would have vested during the
twenty-four (24) months immediately following the Retirement (had the Employee remained an Employee
throughout such twenty-four (24) month period) shall vest on the Retirement date.

     “Retirement” and “Years of Service” are defined in the Plan. In general, “Retirement” means
a Termination of Service by an Employee after he or she is at least age sixty (60) and has
completed at least ten (10) Years of Service, and for purposes of this Agreement also means a
Termination of Service by an Employee on or after the date he or she turns age sixty-five (65).
In general, “Years of Service” means full years of employment since the Employee’s last hire date
with the Company or an Affiliate (but giving credit for prior service under the non-401(k) Plan
principles of the Company’s North American Human Resources Policy No. 2-06, or any successor
thereto). In the event that any applicable law limits the Company’s ability to provide additional
vesting upon the Employee’s retirement, this Paragraph 3 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, this Paragraph 3 shall not apply to this
option.

4. Termination of Option. In the event of the Employee’s Termination of Service for any
reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, the Employee may, within thirty (30) days after
the date of the Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur,
exercise any vested but unexercised portion of this option. However, in the event the date that
is thirty (30) days after the date of the Termination of Service is not a Nasdaq trading day, the
Employee may exercise the vested but unexercised portion of this option only until the Nasdaq
trading day immediately preceding such date or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first
occur. In the event of the Employee’s Termination of Service due to Retirement (or after
attaining age 65), the Employee may, within one (1) year after the date of such Termination, or
prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur, exercise any vested but unexercised
portion of this option. However, in the event the date that is one (1) year after the date of the
Termination of Service due to Retirement is not a Nasdaq trading day, the Employee may exercise
the vested but unexercised portion of this option only until the Nasdaq trading day immediately
preceding such date or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur. In the event of
the Employee’s Termination of Service due to Disability, the Employee may, within six (6) months
after the date of such Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur,
exercise any vested but unexercised portion of this option. However, in the event the date that
is six (6) months after the date of the Termination of Service due to Disability is not a Nasdaq
trading day, the Employee may exercise the vested but unexercised portion of this option only
until the Nasdaq trading day immediately preceding such date or prior to the Expiration Date,
whichever shall first occur. Upon the Employee’s Termination of Service, any unvested portion of
this option (after applying the rules of Paragraphs 3 and 5) shall immediately terminate. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a permanent and total disability that would qualify
the Employee for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability benefit plan, as amended from
time to time.

-2-

 

5. Death of Employee. In the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Service due
to his or her death, the right to exercise one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to
this option shall vest on the date of the Employee’s death. In the event that the Employee incurs
a Termination of Service due to his or her death or in the event the Employee dies after incurring
a Termination of Service but before any vested portion of this option terminates in accordance
with Paragraph 4 above, the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate, may, within one
(1) year after the date of death, exercise any vested but unexercised portion of this option.
However, in the event the date that is one (1) year after the date of a death described in the
preceding sentence is not a Nasdaq trading day, the administrator or executor of the Employee’s
estate may exercise the vested but unexercised portion of this option only until the Nasdaq
trading day immediately preceding such date. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Agreement, if the Employee is a resident of France and the Employee incurs a Termination of
Service due to his or her death or in the event the Employee dies after incurring a Termination of
Service but before any vested portion of this option terminates in accordance with Paragraph 4
above, the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate, may, within six (6) months after
the date of death , exercise any unexercised portion of this option; however, if the date that is
six (6) months after the date of such a death is not a Nasdaq trading day, the administrator or
executor of the Employee’s estate may exercise the vested but unexercised portion of this option
only until the Nasdaq trading day immediately preceding such date. Any transferee under this
Paragraph 5 must furnish the Company in such form or manner as the Company may designate (a)
written notice of his or her status as a transferee, (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to
establish the validity of the transfer of this option and compliance with any applicable law
pertaining to the transfer, and (c) written acceptance of the terms and conditions of this option
as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that any applicable law limits the Company’s ability
to accelerate the vesting of this option or to extend the exercise period of this option, this
Paragraph 5 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 5 (relating to accelerated vesting
upon death) shall not apply to this option.

6. Persons Eligible to Exercise Option. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 above or as
otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, this option shall be exercisable during
the Employee’s lifetime only by the Employee.

7. Option is Not Transferable. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 above, this option and
the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or
hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to
sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this option, or of any right or privilege conferred
hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this option
and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately shall become null and void.

8. Exercise of Option. This option may be exercised by the person then entitled to do so
as to any shares which may then be purchased by (a) giving notice in such form or manner as the
Company may designate, (b) providing full payment of the Exercise Price (and the amount of any
income tax the Company determines is required to be withheld by reason of the exercise of this
option or as is otherwise required under Paragraph 11 below), and (c) giving satisfactory
assurances in the form or manner requested by the Company that the shares to be purchased upon the
exercise of this option are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution
thereof. Exercise of this option will be permitted only in the form and manner specified by the
Company’s Stock Programs department in Santa Clara, CA (or such successor as the Company may later
designate) from time to time. This option may be exercised only on Nasdaq trading days. However,
if Nasdaq is scheduled to be open for trading on a particular day but does not so open or closes
substantially early due to an unforeseen event (for example, a natural or man-made catastrophic
event) and that day otherwise would be the last day this option is exercisable, the option shall
remain exercisable through the next Nasdaq trading day. Whether a closure is due to an unforeseen
event shall be determined by the Committee or its designee. If the Employee receives a hardship
withdrawal from his or her account (if any) under the Company’s Employee Savings and Retirement
Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for U.S. employees, this option may not be exercised during the six (6)
month period following the hardship withdrawal (unless the Company determines that exercise would
not jeopardize the tax-qualification of the 401(k) Plan).

9. Cashless Exercise Required. If the Company determines that a cashless exercise of this
option is necessary or advisable, the shares subject to this option shall be sold immediately upon
exercise and the Employee shall receive the proceeds from the sale, less the Exercise Price, and
any applicable fees and taxes or other required withholding.

-3-

 

10. Conditions to Exercise. Except as provided in Paragraph 9 above or as otherwise
required as a matter of law, the Exercise Price for this option may be made in one (1) (or a
combination of two (2) or more) of the following forms:

          (a) Personal check, a cashier’s check or a money order.

          (b) Irrevocable directions to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part
of the option shares and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an amount sufficient to
pay the Exercise Price and any required tax-related items (as defined below). The balance of the
sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered to Employee.

          (c) Irrevocable directions to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company to pledge
option shares as security for a loan and to deliver to the Company from the loan proceeds an amount
sufficient to pay the Exercise Price and any required tax-related items (as defined below).

11. Tax Withholding and Payment Obligations. The Company will assess its requirements
regarding tax, social insurance and any other payroll tax withholding and reporting in connection
with this option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this option or sale of shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option (“tax-related items”). These requirements may
change from time to time as laws or interpretations change. Regardless of the Company’s actions
in this regard, the Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for any
and all tax-related items is and remains his or her responsibility and liability and that the
Company (a) makes no representations or undertaking regarding treatment of any tax-related items
in connection with any aspect of this option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of
this option and the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option;
and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this option to reduce
or eliminate the Employee’s liability regarding tax-related items. In the event the Company
determines that it and/or an Affiliate must withhold any tax-related items as a result of the
Employee’s participation in the Plan, the Employee agrees as a condition of the grant of this
option to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all withholding
requirements. The Employee authorizes the Company and/or an Affiliate to withhold all applicable
withholding taxes from the Employee’s wages. Furthermore, the Employee agrees to pay the Company
and/or an Affiliate any amount of taxes the Company and/or an Affiliate may be required to
withhold as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by
deduction from the Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Employee by the Company
and/or an Affiliate. The Employee acknowledges that he or she may not exercise this option unless
the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied.

12. Suspension of Exercisability. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities
exchange or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory
authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition of the purchase of shares hereunder, this
option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Company. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of
any applicable law or securities exchange and to obtain any required consent or approval of any
governmental authority.

13. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this
Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Programs, at Applied Materials,
Inc., 2881 Scott Blvd., M/S 2023, P.O. Box 58039, Santa Clara, CA 95050, U.S.A., or at such other
address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

14. No Rights of Stockholder. Neither the Employee (nor any transferee) shall be or have
any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any of the shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of this option, unless and until certificates representing such
shares shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or
registrars, and delivered to the Employee (or transferee). Nothing in the Plan or this option
shall create an obligation on the part of the Company to repurchase any shares purchased
hereunder.

15. No Effect on Employment. The Employee’s employment with the Company and its
Affiliates is on an at-will basis only, subject to the provisions of applicable law. Accordingly,
the terms of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates shall 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 shall have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to
terminate or

-4-

 

change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or
without good cause (subject to the provisions of applicable law).

16. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In
the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Terms used and not defined in
this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. This option is not an incentive
stock option as defined in Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Company may, in its
discretion, issue newly issued shares or treasury shares pursuant to this option.

17. Maximum Term of Option. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 above, this option is not
exercisable after the Expiration Date.

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

19. Committee Authority. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and
this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of
the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken
and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith shall be final and
binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other interested persons. The Committee shall not
be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

20. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a
basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

21. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

22. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding
of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not
accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than
those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an
express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF

PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENT

(Also Referred to as Restricted Stock Units)

     1. Grant. Applied Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Employee under
the Company’s Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) the number of Performance Shares (also
referred to as restricted stock units) set forth on the first page of this Agreement, subject to
all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. When Shares are paid to the
Employee in payment for the Performance Shares, par value will be deemed paid by the Employee for
each Performance Share by past services rendered by the Employee, and will be subject to the
appropriate tax withholdings. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein will
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Performance Share has a value equal to the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Unless and until the Performance Shares have vested
in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5, or paragraph 11, the Employee will have no right
to payment of such Performance Shares. Prior to actual payment of any vested Performance Shares,
such Performance Shares will represent an unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Performance
Shares will be made in whole Shares only.

     3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in paragraphs 4, 5 and
11, and subject to paragraph 7, the Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement will vest in
accordance with the vesting provisions set forth on the UBS One Source website (click on the
specific grant under the tab labeled “Grants/Awards/Units”). Performance Shares will not vest in
the Employee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Employee will
have been continuously employed by the Company or by one of its Affiliates from the Grant Date
until the date the Performance Shares are otherwise scheduled to vest occurs.

     4. Modifications to Vesting Schedule.

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

     (i) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is six (6) months or less, the vesting schedule set
forth on the UBS One Source website (click on the specific grant under the tab labeled
“Grants/Awards/Units”) will 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 Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement that
are not then vested will be deferred for a period of time equal to the duration of the Employee’s
PLOA less six (6) months.

     (iii) if the duration of the Employee’s PLOA is greater than twelve (12) months, any
Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement that are not then vested will immediately terminate.

-1-

 

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

     (v) Example 2. Employee is scheduled to vest in Performance Shares on January 1, 2007. On May
1, 2006, Employee begins a nine-month PLOA. Employee’s Performance 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 Performance 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 Performance Shares on January 1, 2007. On
May 1, 2006, Employee begins a 13-month PLOA. Employee’s Performance Shares will terminate on May
2, 2007.

     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 twelve (12) month
measurement period. Performance 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,
Performance 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 Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement will
be modified as soon as the duration of the Employee’s PLOA exceeds six (6) months.

     (b) 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 Performance Shares subject to this Performance
Share award will 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 Performance Shares, this
paragraph 4(b) will 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(b) will not apply to this award of
Performance Shares.

     5. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting
of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares at any time,
subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Performance Shares will be considered as
having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. If the Committee, in its discretion,
accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance
Shares, the payment of such accelerated Performance Shares nevertheless will be made at the same
time or times as if such Performance Shares had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set
forth on the UBS One Source website (click on the specific grant under the tab labeled
“Grants/Awards/Units”) (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company or by one of
its Affiliates as of such date(s)), in which case, payment of such accelerated Performance Shares
shall be made within two and one-half (21/2) months following the earliest permissible payment date
that would not cause the employee to incur an additional tax under Section 409A.

-2-

 

     6. Payment after Vesting. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with
paragraphs 3 through 4 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to
his or her estate) as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 8.
Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraphs 5 or 11 will be paid to the Employee
(or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in accordance with the provisions
of such paragraphs, subject to paragraph 8. For each Performance Share that vests, the Employee
will receive one Share, subject to paragraph 8.

     7. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance
of the Performance Shares that have not vested pursuant to paragraphs 3 through 5 or paragraph 11
at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Service for any or no reason will be forfeited and
automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.

     8. Withholding of Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Performance
Shares, 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 provided in the U. S. 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 Shares will be issued unless and
until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) 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 Performance Shares award
and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee.

     9. 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
(which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or
its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic
delivery to a brokerage account). Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Agreement, any
quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends or distributions (as determined by the Company) paid
on Shares will affect neither unvested Performance Shares nor Performance Shares that are vested
but unpaid, and no such dividends or other distributions will be paid on unvested Performance
Shares or Performance Shares that are vested but unpaid. After such issuance, recordation and
delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the

-3-

 

Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such
Shares.

     10. 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 UBS One Source website (click on the specific grant under the tab labeled
“Grants/Awards/Units”) 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, will not be deemed a Termination of Service for the purposes of this
Agreement.

     11. Changes in Performance 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
Performance 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 Performance Shares which have
been awarded to him or her (the “Prior Performance 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 Performance Shares and will be subject to all of the
conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Performance Shares pursuant to this
Agreement and the Plan.

     If the Employee receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Performance 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 Performance Shares and will
be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Performance
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 stock,
cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities
acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants; provided, however, that the payment of such
new or additional awards will be made at the same time or times as if such awards had vested in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the UBS One Source website (click on the specific
grant under the tab labeled “Grants/Awards/Units”) (whether or not the Employee remains employed by
the Company or by one of its Affiliates as of such date(s)).

     12. 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

of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar
process, until the Employee has been issued Shares in payment of the Performance Shares. Upon any

     14. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested
Performance Shares under this Agreement will be registered under U. S. federal securities laws and

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.

     15. 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,

Shares as the Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.

provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

     18. Committee Authority. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and
this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of
the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not
limited to, the determination of whether or not any Performance Shares have vested). All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final
and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other interested persons. No

member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

     19. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve

unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

     21. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or

other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in
an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise
this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent
of the Employee, to comply with Section 409A of the U. S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

Performance Shares; (b) all determinations with respect to any future grants, including, but not
limited to, the times when the Performance Shares will be granted, the number of Performance Shares
subject to each Performance Share award and the time or times when the Performance Shares will
vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) the Employee’s participation in the Plan
is voluntary; (d) the value of these Performance Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation
