AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
THIS AFFILIATE AGREEMENT ("Affiliate Agreement") is being executed and
delivered as of October 12, 1998 by ________________ ("Stockholder") in favor of
and for the benefit of APPLIED MATERIALS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Parent").
RECITALS
A. Stockholder is a stockholder of, and is an officer and/or director
of, Consilium, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
B. Parent, the Company and Pennsylvania Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), have entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of October 12, 1998 (the
"Reorganization Agreement"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub into the
Company (the "Merger"). The Reorganization Agreement contemplates that, upon
consummation of the Merger, (i) holders of shares of the common stock of the
Company ("Company Common Stock") will receive shares of common stock of Parent
("Parent Common Stock") in exchange for their shares of Company Common Stock and
(ii) the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. It is
accordingly contemplated that Stockholder will receive shares of Parent Common
Stock in the Merger.
C. Stockholder understands that the Parent Common Stock being issued in
the Merger will be issued pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4, and
that Stockholder may be deemed an "affiliate" of the Company: (i) as such term
is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); and (ii) for purposes
of determining Parent's eligibility to account for the Merger as a "pooling of
interests" under Accounting Series Releases 130 and 135, as amended, of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and under other applicable
"pooling of interests" accounting requirements.
AGREEMENT
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF STOCKHOLDER. Stockholder represents
and warrants to Parent as follows:
(a) Stockholder is the holder and "beneficial owner" (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the
number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth beneath Stockholder's
signature on the signature page hereof (the "Company Shares"), and Stockholder
has good and valid title to the Company Shares, free and clear of any liens,
pledges, security interests, adverse claims, equities, options, proxies,
charges, encumbrances or restrictions of any nature.
(b) Stockholder has carefully read this Affiliate Agreement and,
to the extent Stockholder felt necessary, has discussed with counsel the
limitations imposed on Stockholder's ability to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Company Shares and the shares of Parent

upon Stockholder's ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company
Shares and the Parent Shares.
(c) Stockholder understands that the representations, warranties
and covenants set forth in this Affiliate Agreement will be relied upon by
Parent and its counsel and accountants for purposes of determining Parent's
eligibility to account for the Merger as a "pooling of interests" and for
purposes of determining whether Parent should proceed with the Merger.

of Parent and the Company have been published by Parent (within the meaning of
the applicable "pooling of interests" accounting requirements) (the "Restricted
Period"):
(i) Stockholder shall not sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, or reduce Stockholder's interest in or risk relating to, (A) any
capital stock of the Company (including, without limitation, the Company Shares
and any additional shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by
Stockholder, whether upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise), except
pursuant to and upon consummation of the Merger, or (B) any option or other
right to purchase any shares of capital stock of the Company, except by exercise
of an option or pursuant to and upon consummation of the Merger; and
(ii) Stockholder shall not sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, or reduce Stockholder's interest in or risk relating to, (A) any

Shares and any additional shares of capital stock of Parent acquired by
Stockholder, whether upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise), or (B) any
option or other right to purchase any shares of capital stock of Parent, except
by exercise of an option.
(b) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 3(a),
Stockholder may transfer or otherwise reduce his risk relative to shares of
Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock during the Restricted Period if (i)
Parent, after consulting with its independent accountants, determines that such
transfer or reduction in risk will not adversely affect the ability of Parent to
account for the Merger as a "pooling of interests," and (ii) Parent consents in
writing to such transfer or reduction in risk (it being understood that Parent
will not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).

rendered written advice to Stockholder to the effect that the SEC would take no

been delivered to Parent.
