"Indemnified Liabilities"), caused in whole or in part by Supplier's
breach of any term or provision of this Agreement, or in whole or in
any part by any negligent, grossly negligent or intentional acts,
errors or omissions by Supplier, its employees, officers, agents or
representatives in the performance of this Agreement or that are for,
that are in the nature of, or that arise under, strict liability or
products liability with respect to or in connection with the Items. The
indemnity by Supplier in favor of Buyer shall extend to Buyer, its
officers, directors, agents, and representatives and shall include and
is intended to include Indemnified Liabilities which arise from or are
caused by, in whole or in part, the concurrent negligence, including
negligence or gross negligence of Supplier but shall not extend to
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such are caused by the negligence
or willful misconduct of Buyer. Supplier assumes no liability under
this warranty for system failures, personal injury or property damage
resulting from improper operation, improper maintenance, abuse or
modifications from the original product specifications or configuration
on the part of Buyer, it's customers, agents and other third parties.
23. Force Majeure
A failure by either party to perform due to causes beyond the control
and without the fault or negligence of the party is deemed excusable
during the period in which the cause of the failure persists. Such
causes may include, but not be limited to, acts of God or the public
-6-
28
enemy, acts of the Government in either sovereign or contractual
capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, strikes, freight embargoes and
unusually severe weather. If the failure to perform is caused by the
default of a subcontractor, and such default arises out of causes
beyond the control of both the Supplier and subcontractor, and without
the fault or negligence of either of them, the Supplier will not be
liable for any excess cost for failure to perform, unless the supplies
or services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from
other sources in sufficient time to permit the Supplier to meet the
required delivery releases. When Supplier becomes aware of any
potential force majeure condition as described in this Agreement,
Supplier shall immediately notify Buyer of the condition and provide
relevant details.
24. Changes
Buyer may at anytime, by a written order and without notice to sureties
or assignees, suspend performance hereunder, increase or decrease the
Agreement quantities, or make changes within the general scope of this
Agreement in any one or more of the following:
(a) applicable drawings, designs, or specification;
(b) method of shipment or packing, and/or;
(c) place and date of delivery;
(d) place and date of inspection or acceptance.
If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or
time required for performance of the Agreement, an equitable adjustment
shall be made in the Agreement price or delivery schedule, or both, and
the Agreement shall be modified in writing accordingly. No claim by
Supplier for adjustment hereunder shall be valid unless asserted within
thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Supplier of the
notification of change, provided, however, that such period may be
extended upon the written approval of Buyer. However, nothing in this
clause shall excuse Supplier from proceeding with the Agreement as
changed or amended.
25. Termination for Default
(a) Buyer may, by notice, terminate this Agreement in whole or in
part (i) if Supplier fails to deliver goods or services on
agreed delivery schedules or any installments thereof strictly
within the time specified; (ii) if Supplier fails to replace
or correct defective goods or services; (iii) if Supplier
fails to comply strictly with any provision of, or repudiates
this agreement, or (iv) Supplier defaults under, or any event
or condition stated to be a default occurs under, any
provision of the Agreement, including these Applied Materials
Standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase.
(b) In the event of termination pursuant to this Section:
(i) Supplier shall continue to supply any portion of the
Items contracted for under this Agreement that are
not terminated;
(ii) Supplier shall be liable for additional costs, if
any, for the purchase of such similar goods and
services to cover such default;
(iii) At Buyer's request Supplier will transfer title and
deliver to Buyer (1) any completed goods, (2) any
partially completed goods and (3) all unique
-7-
29
materials. Prices for partially completed goods and
unique materials so accepted shall be negotiated.
However, such prices shall not exceed the Agreement
price per item.
(c) Buyer's rights and remedies herein or otherwise stated in this
Agreement, any Purchase Order, Comprehensive Supplier
Agreement or Basic Supplier Agreement are in addition to and
shall not limit or preclude resort to any other rights and
remedies provided by law or in equity. Termination under this
Agreement shall constitute "cancellation" under the Uniform
Commercial Code.
26. Termination for convenience
(a) Buyer may terminate, for convenience, work under this
Agreement in whole or in part, at any time by written or
electronic notice. Upon any such termination Supplier shall,
to the extent and at the time specified by Buyer, stop all
work on this Agreement, place no further orders hereunder,
terminate work outstanding hereunder, assign to Buyer all
Supplier's interests under terminated subcontracts and
Agreements, settle all claims thereunder after obtaining
Buyer's approval, protect all property in which Buyer has or
may acquire an interest, and transfer title and make delivery
to Buyer of all Items, materials, work in process, or other
things held or acquired by Supplier in connection with the
terminated portion of this Agreement. Supplier shall proceed
promptly to comply with Buyer's directions respecting each of
the foregoing without awaiting settlement or payment of its
termination claim.
(b) Within six (6) months from such termination, Supplier may
submit to Buyer its written claim for termination charges, in
the form and with supporting data and detail prescribed by
Buyer. Failure to submit such claim within the prescribed time
frame and with such items shall constitute a waiver of all
claims and a release of all Buyer's liability arising out of
such termination.
(c) The parties may agree upon the amount to be paid Supplier for
such termination. If they fail to agree, Buyer shall pay
Supplier the amount due for Items delivered prior to
termination and in addition thereto but without duplication,
shall pay the following amounts:
(i) The contract price for all Items completed in
accordance with this Agreement and not previously
paid for;
(ii) The actual costs for work in process incurred by
Supplier which are properly allocable or
apportionable under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) to the terminated portion of this
Agreement and a sum constituting a fair and
reasonable profit on such costs. The Supplier agrees
to keep true, complete, and accurate records in
compliance with GAAP for the purpose of determining
allocability of Suppliers costs under this agreement.
Such records shall contain sufficient detail to
permit a determination of the accuracy of the costs;
Independent nationally recognized accountants (the
"Auditor") designated by Buyer and reasonably
acceptable to Supplier shall have the right, at
Buyer's expense and upon reasonable notice, to
conduct audits of all of the relevant books and
records of Supplier in order to determine the
accuracy and allocability of costs submitted by
Supplier to Buyer under this provision.
-8-
30
(iii) The reasonable costs of Supplier in making settlement
hereunder and in protecting Items to which Buyer has
or may acquire an interest.
(d) Payments made under subparagraphs (c)(i) and (c)(ii) shall not
exceed the aggregate price specified in this Agreement, less
payment otherwise made or to be made. Buyer shall have no
obligation to pay for Items lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed
prior to delivery to Buyer.
(e) The foregoing paragraphs (a) to (d) inclusive, shall be
applicable only to a termination for Buyer's convenience and
shall not affect or impair any right of Buyer to terminate
this Agreement for Supplier's default in the performance
hereof.

7. GENERAL PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS
7.1. General
This Applied Materials document does not eliminate or supersede
any shipper's packaging responsibility. It is the shipper's
obligation to make sure that the package and/or palletizing
comply with all local, federal, and international laws and
regulations. These rules and laws include transportation
requirements and regulations pertaining to hazardous materials.
The following are the minimum requirements that apply to all
inbound and outbound shipments to and from Applied Materials:
7.1.1. It is the shipper's responsibility to determine the
method of packaging, consistent with these guidelines,
unless otherwise specifically instructed. Special
packaging requirements which conflict with this
specification shall take precedence.
7.1.2. IT IS THE SHIPPER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PACKAGE AND LOAD
PARTS IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO ENSURE DAMAGE FREE DELIVER
OF BOTH THE CONTAINER AND ITS CONTENTS.
7.1.3. Previously used containers are prohibited, unless
Applied Materials has approved and identified them as
reusable and acceptable.
7.1.4. Recyclability is of a major concern to Applied
Materials, therefore all packaging should allow for
easy segregation into their appropriate waste recycling
streams when at all possible.
7.1.5. All items are to be packaged individually (1 per box)
except matched sets, bulk hardware items, kits, and
parts/products identified for use in lean
manufacturing. Exemptions from this requirement will be
granted on a part by part basis.
7.1.6. Matched sets and kits are to be packaged together.

60
Packaging Specification Page 13 of 42
Part no. 0250-00098 Rev. K 4/30/97
7.1.7. Multiple parts that make one Applied Materials part
number must be identified as one set or one unit and
must be consolidated to prevent separation. (One set
per container.)
7.1.8. All parts must be clean (free of dust, corrosion,
shavings, contaminants, etc.) prior to packaging. It is
essential that cleanliness levels attained during parts
fabrication are not degrated by the packaging being
used.
7.1.9. All parts must be adequately separated to prevent
entanglement with one another.
7.1.10. All parts must be packaged to prevent shifting or
rubbing of contents, and when necessary, separated to
prevent damage.
7.1.11. Voids should be filled as required, however, use of
loose-fill dunnage ("peanuts", "popcorn") is
prohibited.
7.1.12. Packages should not be filled to the extent that they
bulge.
7.1.13. Protect all bagged items from punctures, abrasions, and
protrusions to prevent contamination of parts during
the handling and distribution cycle.
7.1.14. Heavier parts, and products should always be placed on
the bottom of the container.
7.1.15. Do not overload a container to the point where the
contents' weight exceeds the container's designed
capability.
7.1.16. Use proper labeling to xxxx packages such as "FRAGILE",
"HANDLE WITH CARE", "THIS END UP", "DO NOT STACK", as
required.
7.1.17. Package closure shall permit access to the contents for
inspection purposes without destroying the containers
usefulness (i.e. plastic bags shall be made so that
they can be opened and resealed a minimum of one time.)
7.1.18. Ensure that no package is unsafe to the environment or
personnel. (i.e., protruding staples, nails, loose
banding, etc.).
Confidential Property of Applied Materials
61
Packaging Specification Page 14 of 42
Part no. 0250-00098 Rev. K 4/30/97
7.1.19. The use of staples is prohibited as a method of closure
of bags.
7.1.20. All pallets shall be the 4-way entry variety.
7.1.21. Overhang on pallets is not permitted.
7.1.22. When the center of gravity is not in the center of the
unit or utilized load, the location of the center of
gravity shall be marked on all 4 sides to help maintain
load stability during material handling.
7.1.23. All ground studs must be capped and all sharp corners
and knife edges protected to prevent damages to
personnel and/or other parts.
7.1.24. All packaging materials must be compatible with the
parts contained within the packaging. Packaging must
not adhere to parts, produce corrosion/oxidation, etc.
7.1.25. Same parts must be packaged consistently from shipment
to shipment, both in the containers used and quantity
of parts per container for a given part number.
7.1.26. All inbound and outbound shipments are subject to
inspection. Applied Materials reserves the right to
reject any shipment which is not in compliance with
these specifications, or to charge back to the supplier
any costs incurred from repackaging.

7.2. Package Performance
Package performance is critical to maintaining part integrity
during the distribution cycle. Applied Materials requires that
the packaging shipped to and from Applied Materials be able to
withstand the normal hazards seen during the distribution
environment. Applied Materials [**].
Applied Materials, Inc. has recognized ASTM D 4169, Standard
Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and
Systems, and ISTA Pre-Shipment Test Procedures I/1A as good
methods for determining adequate product protection.
The typical testing that occurs using these test procedures
includes [**].
The following describes the typical hazards that may be
encountered during the distribution cycle. There are other
hazards that a package may see during the distribution cycle, and
these must also be accounted for. Distribution systems vary in
their specific hazard elements and should be carefully studies by
the shipper in order to determine the packaging necessary to
deliver damage free goods to Applied Materials.
7.2.1. Vibration
Vibration is the one hazard element that will occur
during every transportation phase of a distribution
cycle. It is also the one element that is most
difficult to understand without performing product
vibration testing. Essentially, the package materials
that are chosen for a specific product should, ideally,
attenuate the forcing frequencies seen in the
distribution cycle which are close to or match the
natural frequencies the product may have.

Packaging Specification Page 16 of 42
Part no. 0250-00098 Rev. K 4/30/97
7.2.2. Drops
Drops are a common hazard element that may occur in the
distribution cycle. Essentially a packaged product will see drop
heights that correlate to the size and weight of the packaged product.
The smaller the package typically the higher the drop height that may
occur. The following table shows a packaged product weight with a
corresponding maximum drop height that may occur during the
distribution cycle:
PACKAGE PRODUCT (WEIGHT) DROP HEIGHT (inches)
------------------------ --------------------
0 - 10 42
11 - 50 36
51 - 100 24
101 - 250 18
251 - 12
PALLETIZED LOADS 6
Figure 7.1. Drop Height
The product should be adequately cushioned to prevent
damage from occurring at the drop height associated
with the packaged product weight.
7.2.3. Compression
There are two different types of compression, static
compression and dynamic compression. Static
comprehensive comes from warehousing and storage while
dynamic compression is due to compressive forces
incurred during transportation and material handling.
The package should prevent damage due to static
compression to the product when stacked 2 pallets high,
of if not a palletized item, to a height of 96 inches.
The package must also be able to withstand the dynamic
compressive forces, due to shock and vibration,
normally incident to the distribution environment when
stacked 2 pallets high, or if nor palletized, to a
height of 96 inches.

Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.
7.2.4. Impacts
Impacts can be regarded as horizontal shocks. These
impacts are common to the rail industry during rail
care coupling and in other environments during the
sorting of packages. The package should be designed to
withstand impacts normally incident to the distribution
environment. Special attention should be placed on
packages that are being shipped by small parcel
shippers. The small parcel environments are extremely
hazardous during the sorting process, and impacts to
the packaged product can come from any and all
directions.
7.3. Handling Requirements
All shipments to and from Applied Materials, Inc. must
incorporate handling devices into their packagings as outlined in
the following table. The following table shows the type of
handling devices that must be incorporated into the packaging
based on size and weight of the packaged product. The type of
handling that the devices will need to facilitate is also noted.
The size calculated by adding the length, width, and depth of the
packaged product (L + W+D=size).

7.4. Size & Weight Limitations
The following chart is a guidelines for determining the outer box
style to be used for a specific shipment. The chart references
size and weight to determine the box style required. The size is
calculated by adding the length, width, and depth of the packaged
product (L / W / D = size). This chart shows suggested outer
container requirements. The product that is being shipped may
require a stronger box to ensure that the product arrives damage
free at its destination point.

7.6. Unitizing
All unitized loads must be secured pallet. The pallet must have
4-way entry and must have sufficient strength to accommodate the
load. All loads must be squared off.
Securement to the pallet shall be made by the use of metal or
plastic strapping of sufficient strength to adequately secure the
load to the pallet and prevent load shifting during
transportation. To help with load stability, the use of
corrugated fiberboard tie sheets between the layers on the pallet
is recommended. The product shall be protected from damage from
the straps by the use of rigid plastic or paperboard edge
protectors.
The strapping shall be a minimum of 2 straps in one direction and
when appropriate, strapping shall be 2 or more straps in 2 or
more directions in order to secure the load to the pallet. It is
also acceptable to use stretch or shrink wrap in combination with
strapping to secure the load to the pallet.
Figures 7.7, 7.8, and 7.9 show proper load securement while
Figure 7.10 shows inappropriate load securement. In Figure 7.10,
the load should be separated into 2 separate squared off pallets
or 1 squared off pallet and separately shipped boxes.
This figure is an illustration of a proper load securement on a
pallet. The load must be squared off on a 4-way entry pallet.
Securement of the load is ensured by 2 pairs of straps that run
through the pallet in opposite directions and intersect on the
top and bottom of the load.
Figure 7.7 4-Way Strapping of Load
This figure is an illustration of a proper load securement on a
pallet. The load must be squared off on a 4 way entry pallet.
Securement of the lead is ensured by 2 parallel straps that run
through the pallet and across the perimeter of the load.
Figure 7.8. 2-Way Strapping Of Load
This figure is an illustration of a proper load securement on a
pallet. The load must be squared off on a 4 way entry pallet.
Securement of the lead is ensured by 2 pairs of straps that run
through the pallet in opposite directions and intersect on the
top and bottom of the load. A 5th strap encompasses the
perimeter, running perpendicular to the 2 pairs and intersecting
each one on all four sides.
