Item 1. Business

     Lam Research Corporation (Lam or the Company), a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Fremont, California. The mailing address for our principal executive offices is 4650 Cushing Parkway, Fremont, California 94538, and our telephone number is (510) 572-0200. Additional information about Lam is available on our web site at http://www.lamrc.com. Our Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, and Forms 8-K are available online at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) web site on the Internet. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov. We also make available free of charge the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, and Forms 8-K and amendments to those reports on our corporate web site at http://www.lamrc.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the reports with, or furnish them to, the SEC.

     We design, manufacture, market, and service semiconductor processing equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits and are recognized as a major supplier of such equipment to the worldwide semiconductor industry. Semiconductor wafers are subjected to a complex series of process steps that result in the simultaneous creation of many individual integrated circuits. Our etch and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) products selectively remove portions of various films from the wafer to create semiconductors. We leverage our expertise in these areas to also develop

intellectual property (IP) for integrated processing solutions.

     Etch processes, which are repeated numerous times during the wafer fabrication cycle, are required to manufacture every type of semiconductor device produced today. Our current range of etch systems employ Lam’s TCP® high density and Dual Frequency ConfinedTM (DFCTM) medium density plasma sources to etch device features at current generation geometries and smaller than 100 nanometers (nm) in size.

     CMP products are used to planarize the surface of the wafer to prepare it for further processing. Our Teres® CMP products utilize a linear planarization technology for manufacturing complex integrated circuits with features 0.13 microns (130 nm) and smaller with multiple metal layers. Our 200/300-mm CMP systems provide integrated polishing and post-CMP cleaning solutions.

Etch Process

     The etch process defines linewidths and other microscopic features on integrated circuits. Plasma etching was developed to meet the demand for device geometries smaller than 3 microns. Plasma consists of ions and neutral species that react with exposed portions of the wafer surface to remove dielectric, metal, or polysilicon material and produce the finely delineated features and patterns of an integrated circuit.

     Advanced integrated circuit manufacturing requires etch systems capable of creating 0.13-micron features for current-generation products and below 100 nm for future semiconductor products. The trend toward feature sizes in the 100-nm range accompanies a transition from aluminum to copper conductive lines for faster device processing speeds. Subsequent feature size reductions below 100 nm will begin to integrate more fragile insulating dielectric materials (low k and porous low k) in between conductive lines. In addition to continually shrinking feature sizes, advanced manufacturing facilities are now producing integrated circuits on 200-mm (8-inch) silicon wafers as well as on wafer diameters of 300 mm (12 inch). To accommodate these decreasing linewidths and increasing wafer diameters, semiconductor manufacturers will continue to require more precise control over the etching process.

     Several of our etch products are available as standalone (one chamber) systems or as clusters (multi-chamber systems) using the Alliance® or 2300TM Etch Series platforms.

Dielectric Etch Products

     4520 Series Systems. The 4520 system processes wafer sizes up to 200 mm.

     4520XLETM System. The 4520XLE system introduced Lam’s proprietary DFC plasma technology, which reduces plasma volume and sidewall polymer accumulation for cleaner, low-cost operation. Additionally, it offers a wider process window than the 4520 system with capability to etch geometries below 0.18 microns.

     Exelan®, Exelan® High Performance, Exelan® HPT, and 2300 Exelan® Systems. The Exelan family of products extends DFC technology to create smaller feature sizes and mixes sequential etch process steps in the same chamber. These integrated capabilities developed by Lam improve productivity and lower the cost of ownership for our customers. Exelan was introduced in July 1999 to define the structures required for manufacturing copper conductive lines in semiconductors utilizing traditional insulating dielectric films. Exelan High Performance, introduced in 2001, extends Exelan’s capabilities for etching newer low k insulating dielectric films. Exelan HPT, introduced early in 2002, targets sub-0.13 micron geometries.

     The 2300 Exelan system addresses process requirements down to sub-65 nm for 200-mm and 300-mm wafer sizes. Process chambers can be converted within our customers’ fabrication

facilities from 200 mm to 300 mm, which has the advantage of providing greater flexibility and lowering costs. This capability, combined with an overall system footprint comparable to 200-mm systems, allows semiconductor manufacturers to develop integrated circuits using 200-mm wafers instead of expensive 300-mm wafers and later scale up to 300-mm wafer processing.

Conductor Etch Products

     TCP® 9400 and TCP® 9600 Series and 2300 VersysTM Series Systems. The first TCP products were introduced in late 1992. They use Lam’s patented Transformer Coupled Plasma source technology, a high-density, low-pressure plasma source that can etch features well below 100 nm. For 200-mm wafer sizes, we offer the TCP® 9400PTX and TCP® 9400DFM for silicon etch applications and the TCP® 9600PTX and TCP® 9600DFM for metal etch applications. These systems are used in the production of a broad range of advanced logic and memory devices with feature sizes below 0.13 microns.

     The 2300 Versys system for etching silicon and metal films employs a scaled design of TCP technology to address leading-edge device structure requirements. The 2300 Versys system has the capability to process 200- or 300-mm wafer sizes. The 2300 Versys StarTM silicon etch system enables sequential step tuning of gas flow and wafer temperature, which provides the critical dimension uniformity required for geometries down to sub-65 nm.

CMP and CMP Wafer Cleaning Processes

     With increasingly smaller geometries, more layers are required to connect the individual devices of an integrated circuit. Each additional layer exaggerates the uneven topography of the previous ones. This effect creates a depth-of-focus problem for subsequent photolithographic steps, which diminishes the precision of the linewidth dimensions. The CMP process removes excess material from the wafer surface by a combination of chemical and abrasive actions to provide a flatter surface, improving photolithography results. Additionally, CMP processes are required for the creation of copper conductive lines. Removing the residue of the abrasive and chemical materials used in CMP requires special cleaning techniques following processing.

CMP with Integrated Clean Products

     Teres and 200/300-mm CMP systems. We offer 200-mm Teres and 200/300-mm CMP systems with integrated SynergyTM based cleaning systems. These tools target advanced copper/low k and shallow trench isolation (STI) applications as well as high-productivity interlayer dielectric (ILD) processes. The systems incorporate our Linear Planarization TechnologyTM (LPTTM), which uses a high-speed belt combined with patented air-bearing platen capability. These features achieve uniformity control across the wafer surface by changing the shape of the belt (pad) using air pressure. Independent zones can be adjusted to change the pad pressure instead of bending the wafer backside so that expensive 300-mm wafers and fragile multi-layer low k film stacks are not unnecessarily stressed during processing.

Standalone Clean Products

     Synergy. Synergy products combine DSS® technology and Chemical Mechanical CleaningTM (CMCTM) technology to perform mechanical and chemical cleaning in a single-step process. The Synergy IntegraTM incorporates Synergy’s cleaning technology with a platform that can be integrated with other suppliers’ polishing systems. Certain integrated systems in the industry are the result of development relationships between Lam and other polishing vendors. In addition to handling the clean step following CMP applications, the Synergy standalone clean system is used to clean wafers both before and after a range of semiconductor processing steps.

Research and Development

     The market for semiconductor capital equipment is characterized by rapid technological change and product innovation. Our ability to maintain competitive advantage depends in part on our continued and timely development of new products and enhancements to existing products. Accordingly, we devote a significant portion of our personnel and financial resources to R&D programs and seek to maintain close relationships with our customers and be responsive to their wafer processing needs.

     Our R&D expenses during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 were $160.5 million, $179.2 million, and $227.2 million, respectively, and represented 21.3%, 19.0%, and 15.0% of total revenue, respectively. Expenditures are targeted at continued development of advanced etch, CMP and post-CMP clean applications and enhancements to our existing products, including developing the technology necessary to support our customers’ transition to smaller feature sizes, (90 nm and 65 nm), new materials, copper-based devices, and 300-mm wafers.

     We expect to continue to make substantial investments in R&D to meet our customers’ product needs and enhance our competitive position.

Marketing, Sales, and Service

     Our marketing and sales efforts are focused on building long-term relationships with our customers. These efforts are supported by a team of product marketing and sales professionals as well as equipment and process engineers that work closely with individual customers to develop solutions to their processing needs. We maintain ongoing support relationships with our customers and have an extensive network of field service personnel in place throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and Asia Pacific. We believe that comprehensive support programs and close working relationships with customers are essential to maintaining high customer satisfaction and our competitiveness in the marketplace. We have 37 sales and support centers around the world, through which technical personnel sell and/or service our products.

     We provide standard warranties for our systems that run generally for a period of 12 months from system acceptance, not to exceed 14 months from shipment of the system to the customer. The warranty provides that systems shall be free from defects in material and workmanship and conform to our published specifications. The warranty is limited to repair of the defect or replacement with new or like-new equivalent goods and is valid when the buyer provides prompt notification within the warranty period of the claimed defect or non-conformity and also makes the items available for inspection and repair. We make comprehensive warranty packages on all released products available to our customers.

Export Sales

     Export sales accounted for approximately 47%, 44%, and 50% of our net sales in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Export sales consist of sales from any of our U.S. operating subsidiaries to non-affiliated customers outside the U.S. As a result, a significant portion of our sales and operations may be subject to certain risks, including tariffs and other barriers, difficulties

5


Table of Contents

in staffing and managing non-U.S. subsidiary and branch operations, potentially adverse tax consequences, exchange rate fluctuations, and the potential for difficulty in accounts receivable collection. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations and cash flows. Refer to Note 20 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 herein, for further information concerning export sales.

Customers

     Our customers include many of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers. In fiscal year 2003, revenues from Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd., accounted for approximately 15% of total revenues, and, in fiscal year 2001, revenues from STMicroelectronics accounted for approximately 15% of our total revenue. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in fiscal 2002.

     A material reduction in orders from several of our customers, due to market or business conditions in the semiconductor industry could adversely affect our results of operations and projected financial condition. Our business depends upon the capital expenditures of semiconductor manufacturers, which in turn depend on the current and anticipated market demand for integrated circuits and products utilizing integrated circuits. Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2001, a slowing U.S. economy and worldwide decline in demand for integrated circuits resulted in excess capacity in the semiconductor industry and a severe contraction of the manufacturing equipment market. Our customers reduced their level of capital expenditures, which caused a steep decline in demand for our products in fiscal 2002, and demand has remained relatively flat during fiscal 2003 due to our customers’ continuing cautious posture about their levels of capital expenditures.

Backlog

     Company backlog includes orders for systems, spares, and services where written customer requests have been accepted and the delivery of products or provision of services is anticipated within the next 12 months. Our policy is to make adjustments to our backlog to reflect, among other things, customer delivery date changes as well as order cancellations. We schedule production of our systems based upon purchase orders in backlog and our customers’ delivery requirements. Included in our systems backlog are orders for which written requests have been accepted, prices have been agreed upon, and shipment of systems is expected within one year. The spares and services backlog includes customer orders for products that have not yet shipped and for services that have not yet been provided. Where specific customer service and spare parts purchase contracts do not contain specific delivery dates, we use volume estimates at the contract price and over the contract period, not exceeding 12 months, in calculating backlog amounts.

     As of June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, our backlog was approximately $239 million and $287 million, respectively. Generally, orders for our products and services are subject to cancellation by our customers with limited penalties. Because some orders are received for shipments in the same quarter and due to possible customer changes in delivery dates and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual revenues for succeeding periods.

Manufacturing

     Our manufacturing operations consist mainly of assembling and testing components and modules that are then integrated into finished systems. We are seeing the effects of our outsourcing programs, as certain system assemblies and modules are now received by us from third

6


Table of Contents

party providers to be incorporated by us into system builds. Most of the assembly and testing of our products is conducted in cleanroom environments. Although infrequent, prior to shipping a completed system, customer representatives may perform system acceptance tests at our facility.

     Beginning in fiscal 2002 and continuing in fiscal 2003, we entered into agreements with third parties to outsource certain elements of our manufacturing, production warehousing, and logistics functions. We believe that entering into these outsourcing contracts will provide us more flexibility to scale our operations up and down in a more timely and cost effective manner, enabling us to respond to the cyclical nature of our business. We believe that we have selected reputable providers and are securing their performance on terms documented in written contracts. However, it is possible that one or more of these providers could fail to perform as we expect, and such failure could have an adverse impact on our business. In addition, the expanded role of outsource providers has required us to implement changes to our existing supply chain management operations and to adopt new procedures to manage effectively the performance of those outsource providers. We believe that we have implemented adequate oversight procedures. Even so, any delay or failure in the implementation of our operational changes could adversely affect our customer relationships and have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition. Refer to Note 17 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 herein, for further information concerning our outsourcing commitments.

     As is often the case in the high technology industry, due to limited availability of suppliers of certain proprietary or patented technologies, certain of the components and subassemblies included in our products are obtained from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. We believe that, in many cases, alternative sources could be obtained and qualified to supply these products. Nevertheless, a prolonged inability to obtain certain components could have an adverse short-term effect on our operating results and could unfavorably impact our customer relationships.

Environmental Matters

     We are subject to a variety of governmental regulations related to the management of hazardous materials. We are currently not aware of any pending notices of violation, fines, lawsuits, or investigations arising from environmental matters that would have any material effect on our business. We believe that we are in general compliance with these regulations and that we have obtained (or will obtain or are otherwise addressing) all necessary environmental permits to conduct our business. Nevertheless, the failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines being imposed on us, suspension of production, cessation of our operations or reduction in our customers’ acceptance of our products. These regulations could require us to alter our current operations, to acquire significant equipment, or to incur substantial other expenses to comply with environmental regulations. Our failure to control the use, sale, transport or disposal of hazardous substances could subject us to future liabilities.

Employees

     As of September 16, 2003, we had approximately 2,100 regular full-time employees.

     Each of our employees signs an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, and most of our employees have stock or stock option arrangements with us that generally provide for the vesting of their options over multiple years.

     In the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industries, competition for highly skilled employees is intense. Our future success depends to a significant extent upon our continued ability to attract and retain qualified employees, particularly in the R&D and customer support functions. We believe that the ability to offer compensation in the form of stock options is an

7


Table of Contents

important component of our key-employee retention programs.

Competition

     The semiconductor capital equipment industry is characterized by rapid change and is highly competitive throughout the world. In order to compete effectively, we must invest significant financial resources to offer a broad range of products, to maintain customer service and support centers globally, and to develop enhanced product capabilities. Semiconductor manufacturers will evaluate equipment suppliers in many areas, including, but not limited to, process performance, productivity, customer support, defect control, and overall cost of ownership, which can be affected by many factors such as equipment design, reliability, software automation, etc. Our ability to succeed in the marketplace will depend upon our ability to introduce product enhancements and new products on a timely basis. In addition, semiconductor manufacturers must make a substantial investment to qualify and integrate new processing equipment into a semiconductor production line. As a result, once a semiconductor manufacturer has selected a particular supplier’s tool set and qualified it for production, the manufacturer generally maintains that selection for that specific production application. Accordingly, we may experience difficulty in selling to a given customer if that customer has qualified a competitor’s system.

     We face significant competition with all of our products. Certain of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial resources and more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and customer service and support organizations. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the design and performance of their current products and processes and to introduce new products and processes with enhanced price performance characteristics. If our competitors make acquisitions or enter into strategic relationships with leading semiconductor manufacturers covering etch or products similar to those we sell, our ability to sell our products to those customers could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully in the future. Our primary competitors in the etch market are Applied Materials, Inc. and Tokyo Electron Limited. Our CMP integrated polishing system faces significant competition from Applied Materials, Inc., Ebara Corp., and Novellus Systems, Inc.

Patents and Licenses

     Our policy is to seek patents on inventions relating to new or enhanced products and processes developed as part of our ongoing research, engineering, manufacturing, and support activities. We hold United States patents and corresponding non-U.S. patents covering various aspects of our products and processes. We believe that the duration of our patents generally exceeds the useful life of the technologies and processes disclosed and claimed therein. Our patents, which cover material aspects of our past and present core products, have current durations ranging from approximately 6 to 17 years. We believe that, although the patents we own and may obtain in the future will be of value, they will not alone determine our success, which depends principally upon our engineering, marketing, support, and delivery skills. However, in the absence of patent protection, we may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to imitate our products, manufacturing techniques, and processes. In addition, other companies and inventors may receive patents that contain claims applicable or similar to our products and processes. The sale of products covered by patents of others could require licenses that may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

     From time to time, we have received notices from third parties alleging infringement of such parties’ patent or other intellectual property rights by our products. In such cases, it is our policy to defend the claims, or if considered appropriate, negotiate licenses on commercially reasonable terms. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able, in the future, to negotiate necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that any litigation resulting from

such claims would not have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. For further discussion of legal matters, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of this Form 10-K.

Other Cautionary Statements

Item 2. Properties

     Our executive offices and principal operating and R&D facilities are located in Fremont, California, and are under operating leases expiring from 2003 to 2008. As a result of the restructuring of our operations, we have subleased some of our idle facilities, (refer to Note 21 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 herein, for further information concerning our property leases). In addition, we lease properties for our service, technical support and sales personnel throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and Asia Pacific. Our fiscal 2003 rental payments for the space occupied during that period aggregated approximately $12.7 million, net of sublease income of $1.6 million. Our facilities lease obligations are subject to periodic increases, and we believe that our existing facilities are well maintained and in good operating condition.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     In September 1999, Tegal Corporation (Tegal) brought suit against us seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief based on our alleged infringement of certain patents held by Tegal. Specifically, Tegal identified our 4520XLE and Exelan products as infringing the patents Tegal is asserting. On our motion, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the Court). In August of 2002, Tegal voluntarily dismissed its claims asserted against the 4520XLE. In January of 2003, the Court granted summary judgment on Tegal’s remaining claim asserted against the Exelan. On June 17, 2003, the Court entered a final judgment in this case, dismissing Tegal’s Exelan claim. The time for filing an appeal of the decision has now passed, and neither party filed an appeal.

     From time to time, we have received notices from third parties alleging infringement of such parties’ patent or other intellectual property rights by our products. In such cases it is our policy to defend the claims, or if considered appropriate, negotiate licenses on commercially reasonable terms. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to negotiate necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that any litigation resulting from such claims would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, operating results, or our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

     Lam Research Corporation (Lam or the Company) is a major supplier of semiconductor capital equipment. Our product offerings include single-wafer plasma etch systems with a wide range of applications, CMP and CMP wafer cleaning systems, and an array of services designed to optimize the utilization of these systems by our customers.

     The semiconductor industry is cyclical in nature and has historically experienced periodic downturns and upturns. Over the past 3 business cycles, their severity has increased, and today’s leading indicators of changes in customer investment patterns are no more reliable than in prior years. Demand for our equipment can fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, economic conditions, supply, demand, and price for semiconductors, customer capacity requirements, and our ability to develop and market competitive products. For these and other reasons, our results of operations for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

Revenue
  $ 755,234     $ 943,114     $ 1,519,789       (19.9 %)     (37.9 %)

     The sequential decrease in revenue for fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001 reflects our customers’ response to excess capacity in the semiconductor industry, which was significantly influenced by the continued retrenchment of the global economy and levels of end-user demand for products servicing telecommunications, computer, and consumer electronics markets. Semiconductor manufacturers have selectively invested in leading-edge technology equipment through fiscal 2003 and are in the early stages of ramping these new capabilities at production volumes. Overall, demand has remained relatively flat during fiscal 2003 as reflected in the pattern of our quarterly revenues. Our current estimate for the September 2003 quarter is for revenues to be approximately at the same levels as the June 2003 quarter revenues.

     The downturn that began in the second half of fiscal 2001 resulted in decreased revenues across nearly all product lines in fiscal 2002. The reduction in revenue for fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 was due to a worldwide decline in demand for integrated circuits which resulted in excess capacity in the semiconductor industry and severe contraction in capital investments.

     We changed our revenue recognition policy in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, effective June 26, 2000, based on guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” Refer to our discussion of “Critical Accounting Policies” for additional information about our revenue recognition policy. Based on the guidance provided by SAB 101, we generally recognize new systems revenue upon customer acceptance. As a result, the fiscal period in which we are able to recognize systems revenue is subject to the length of time that our customers require to evaluate the performance of our equipment to agreed standards and specifications, after system installation. Systems revenue recognition generally occurs from two to seven months after the date of shipment. Spares revenues generally are recognized on the date of shipment, and service revenues are recognized generally upon performance of the activities requested by the customer, including training, upgrades, and extended warranty support.

     Regional geographic breakdown of revenue is as follows:

                         
    Year ended
   
    June 29,   June 30,   June 24,
    2003   2002   2001
   
 
 
North America
    28 %     29 %     30 %
Europe
    20 %     21 %     28 %
Asia Pacific
    44 %     35 %     33 %
Japan
    8 %     15 %     9 %

     The growth of Asia Pacific revenues reflects expanded foundry operations and investments by memory chip manufacturers to lower their operating costs by introducing latest-generation manufacturing equipment.

Percent of total revenue
    40.2 %     28.2 %     43.0 %                

     The increase in gross margin as a percent of total revenues of 12 percentage points in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 was accomplished with an approximate 20 percent reduction in revenues over the same periods. We have focused on implementing strategies to outsource manufacturing activities in order to lower our breakeven point to approximately $180 million in quarterly revenues at the end of fiscal 2003. Further outsourcing of manufacturing assembly activities was accomplished throughout fiscal 2003, continuing the trend toward achieving a more variable cost structure, by establishing transaction-based pricing agreements with vendors, and, additionally enabling the elimination of infrastructure costs such as facilities. The same strategy has provided opportunities to achieve lower material and assembly costs through improved systems design and leverage from a more focused supplier base.

     The manufacturing assembly outsourcing model has required fundamental changes within the supply chain and within our business processes. One objective of this strategy is to minimize certain costs related to holding inventories and managing product lifecycles. Specifically related to this point, in fiscal 2002, we incurred incremental excess and obsolete inventory charges of $24.1 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2002, and in addition we incurred $5.9 million of inventory restructuring expenses, contributing to approximately a 450 basis points improvement in the gross margin percentage compared to fiscal 2003. The charges in fiscal 2002 reflected the known and anticipated impact of the downturn on our business at that point in time. The reduction in excess and obsolete inventory costs in fiscal 2003 reflects more stability in quarter on-quarter business levels during the year and other inventory management efforts. Our current outlook for the September 2003 quarter is for essentially flat gross margin as a percentage of revenues compared to the June 2003 quarter.

     Approximately 500 basis points of the improvement in gross margin as a percentage of revenues for fiscal 2003 compared to the corresponding period a year ago is a result of $38.8 million of charges to cost of goods sold related to a patent litigation settlement in fiscal 2002. In the second fiscal quarter of 2002, we signed a final settlement agreement in connection with a patent infringement claim by Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (Varian). We agreed to pay Varian $20.0 million in cash and issued Varian a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $21.5 million. In connection with this settlement, we recorded a charge of $38.8 million, and the remaining amount of the settlement, $2.7 million, represented the value of future licensed use of patents we received. The $2.7 million relating to the license will continue to be amortized ratably over the subsequent 10 quarters as a charge to cost of goods sold. Accumulated amortization as of the end of fiscal 2003 was $1.6 million.

     Additionally, our restructuring plans, combined with ongoing cost management activities have supported improved utilization rates in our manufacturing operations, contributing to the improvement in gross margin as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002.

     The decrease in gross margin percentage in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 stems from

patent litigation settlement charges and obsolete inventory charges within cost of goods sold as well as unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs due to lower production volumes. In the second fiscal quarter of 2002, we recorded a charge for excess and obsolete inventory of $24.1 million. We recorded the charge based on the results of our customary quarterly analysis of inventories and their net realizable value based on current market conditions and forecasted customer demand for related products. This analysis highlighted limited anticipated consumption of our older generation equipment due to accelerated technological and product design changes.

     The reduction in absolute dollars in fiscal 2003, compared to fiscal 2002, illustrates ongoing efforts to focus expenditures primarily on the development of critical next-generation products. Spending in fiscal 2003 decreased compared to fiscal 2002 and included a reduction in employee-related expenses and supplies expenses of approximately $6 million, and lower infrastructure costs, principally reflected in reduced depreciation and amortization of another $6 million. Additionally, R&D expenses in fiscal 2002 of approximately $5 million related to impairment charges and write-downs in the value of selected laboratory equipment, which was determined to be no longer useful due to technological changes. The increase in R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 is the result of the lower sales volume in fiscal 2003.

     The decrease in R&D expenses in absolute dollars in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 results from alignment of spending on general R&D programs with the downturn in the business cycle.

     Approximately, 60% of fiscal 2003 systems revenues are derived from products introduced over the previous two years. We believe that in order to remain competitive, we must continue to invest substantially in engineering and technology development. Accordingly, we devote a significant portion of our personnel and financial resources to these programs, which will result in sizeable levels of investment in next-generation products and enhancement of existing products.

     The reduction in Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses in fiscal 2003, compared to the prior year, reflects the structural change in the targeted administrative functions that have been outsourced. Reduced salaries and benefits and supply costs have been significantly substituted with variable, largely transaction-based pricing from selected providers.

Infrastructure rationalization, including reduced facilities, has contributed the majority of the annual cost reduction from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003. In addition, SG&A expenses in fiscal 2002 included a $4.2 million impairment charge related to the write-down in value of certain demonstration equipment used in sales and marketing activities, which was determined to be no longer useful due to technological changes.

     In the quarter ended December 29, 2002, we modified the contractual life of and added additional vesting requirements to one of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s stock option awards. As a result of the modification, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $3.4 million, which is being amortized ratably over the vesting period of the modified options, or 16 quarters. As of June 29, 2003, approximately $2.8 million remained in deferred compensation within stockholders’ equity. As modified, the option award provided for accelerated vesting triggered when the Nasdaq National Market closing price of our common stock reaches or exceeds $20.00 per share. At such time when vesting is accelerated, all unvested shares will immediately vest and become exercisable, and all remaining deferred compensation would then be recognized as compensation expense within SG&A. In the quarter ended September 2003 we modified the vesting requirements to this same option award by adding a second condition to the accelerated vesting provision. Refer to the subsequent event discussion included in this Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

     The decrease in absolute dollars of SG&A expenses in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 was largely due to manpower reductions, lower incentive payments to employees, shutdown days, and other cost reduction programs in response to the contraction in our levels of revenue. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the same periods comparison was primarily the result of lower sales volume in fiscal 2002.

Restructuring Charges

     We have developed and implemented restructuring plans in response to changes in business outlook with the intent to align our cost structure with anticipated revenue levels. The frequency of our restructuring plans has been driven by the unpredictable and substantial changes in the semiconductor industry as a whole and the market for semiconductor processing equipment in particular. These dynamic changes in the semiconductor industry and our business have required multiple integrated responses, including those activities within our restructuring plans, based on the best information and industry-expert forecasts available at that point in time. Although management makes every attempt to consolidate all known restructuring activities into one plan, the extreme nature of our industry’s business cycles and the rapidly changing forecasting environment places practical limitations on achieving this objective. The implementation of restructuring activities and recognition of their impact in our financial statements does not preclude similar but unrelated actions from being necessary in future periods. We distinguish regular operating cost management activities from restructuring activities. Accounting for restructuring activities requires an evaluation of formally committed and approved plans. Restructuring activities have comparatively greater strategic significance and materiality and may involve exit activities, whereas regular cost containment activities are more tactical in nature and are rarely characterized by formal and integrated action plans or exiting a particular product, facility, or service.

     During fiscal 2003, we incurred $14.9 million of restructuring charges, net, associated with our fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 restructuring plans. As of June 29, 2003, the remaining restructuring reserve consisted of approximately $11.0 million related to restructurings implemented during fiscal 2003 and approximately $8.3 million related to restructurings implemented during fiscal 2002.

Fiscal 2003 Restructuring Activities

     We have developed programs and incurred restructuring charges in response to the depressed levels of capital investment by the semiconductor industry. This situation has caused us to evaluate our revenue outlook and forecasts, employment levels, facilities utilization and outsourcing activities and the impact on manufacturing and administrative facilities. Based on these evaluations, our senior management committed to cost reduction and exit activities in the quarters ended June 29, 2003 (the June 2003 Plan), March 30, 2003 (the March 2003 Plan), and December 29, 2002 (the December 2002 Plan). Prior to the end of the June 29, 2003, March 30, 2003, and December 29, 2002 quarters, management with the proper level of authority approved specific actions under the respective Plans and communicated the severance packages to potentially impacted employees in enough detail such that the employees could determine their type and amount of benefits. None of the severance payments were contingent on employee’s future service to the Company. The termination of the impacted employees occurred as soon as practical after the restructuring plans were announced. The amount of remaining future lease payments for facilities we ceased to use and included in the restructuring charges are based on management’s estimates using known prevailing real estate market conditions at that time. Leasehold improvements relating to the vacated buildings were written off, as these items will have no future economic benefit to us and have been abandoned.

     We applied the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (FAS 146) to the fiscal 2003 restructuring activities as we early-adopted FAS 146 during the December 2002 quarter. Under the provisions of FAS 146, the restructuring charges for the remaining contractual lease payments, computed as the present value of remaining contractual payments less estimated sublease income, on vacated facilities were recognized in the quarter in which the Company ceased to use the facility. As a result of the fiscal 2003 restructuring activities, we expect quarterly savings in total expenses of approximately $1.0 million from the June 2003 Plan, $1.0 million from the March 2003 Plan, and $3.0 million from the December 2002 Plan. These estimated savings from the Plans’ discrete actions are primarily related to lower employee payroll, facilities, and depreciation expenses. Actual savings may vary from anticipated savings, depending upon future events and circumstances, such as differences in actual sublease income versus estimated amounts. Through June 29, 2003, we believe actual savings are largely consistent with estimated savings. However, other activities and factors may significantly

influence our future cost structure and may offset savings from the Plans.

June 2003 Plan

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we reduced our workforce in North America, and Europe by approximately 30 people and vacated selected sales and office facilities located in North America, Europe, and Asia determined to be no longer critical to our operations. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with approximately 80% from North America and approximately 20% from our European locations. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $7.6 million, consisting of $0.8 million of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, $5.7 million of charges for the present value of remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, a $1.0 million loss on the fair value of a vacated facility, and $0.2 million for the write-off of related leasehold improvements. In June 2003, two lease agreements covering four properties were amended, combined, restated, and transferred to a new lessor under a single lease structure. One of the transferred leases covered one of our vacated facilities at our Fremont, California campus. At the time of the amendment, the leased facility’s fair value was less than its original cost by approximately $1.0 million. Accordingly, this amount was recorded as a loss on the fair value of the vacated facility and included in the $6.7 million facility-related restructuring charge.

March 2003 Plan

     During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, we reduced our workforce in North America and Europe by approximately 50 people and vacated selected sales and office facilities located in North America determined to be no longer critical to our operations. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with the majority of the reductions in North America. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $4.7 million, consisting of $1.6 million of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, $2.9 million of charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, and $0.2 million for the write-off of related leasehold improvements.

December 2002 Plan

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we reduced our workforce in North America, Europe, and Asia by approximately 120 employees and vacated selected sales and office facilities located in North America, Europe, and Asia determined to be no longer critical to our operations. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company with approximately 65% from North America and approximately 35% from Asia and Europe locations. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $5.7 million, consisting of $3.3 million of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, $1.9 million of charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, and $0.5 million for the write-off of related leasehold improvements.

Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Activities

     In response to the deterioration in semiconductor sales in the first half of fiscal 2002, which resulted in a contraction in outlook for the wafer fabrication equipment market and, therefore, in our revenues, our senior management committed to cost reduction and exit activities in the quarters ended December 30, 2001 (the December 2001 Plan), and September 23, 2001 (the September 2001 Plan). Prior to the end of the December 30, 2001 and September 23, 2001

quarters, management, with the proper level of authority, approved specific actions of the respective Plans and communicated the severance packages to potentially impacted employees in enough detail such that the employees could determine their type and amount of benefits. The termination of the impacted employees occurred as soon as practical after the plans of restructuring were announced. Lease payments on vacated facilities are based on management’s estimates using prevailing real estate market conditions. We initially estimated under the plans that, given prevailing real estate market conditions at that time, it would take approximately 24 months to sublease our vacated facilities. We revised the original estimates for lease payments on vacated facilities if prevailing real estate market conditions were different than the initial estimate. Leasehold improvements and certain fixed assets relating to the vacated buildings were written off as these items have no future economic benefit to us and have been abandoned.

December 2001 Plan

     During the second fiscal quarter of 2002, we began implementing restructuring activities that included reducing our workforce by approximately 470 employees in North America, Europe, and Asia, vacating selected office and warehouse facilities at our Fremont, California campus determined to be no longer critical to our operations, and the closure of certain offices in Asia. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company with approximately 80% from North America and approximately 20% from Asia and Europe locations. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $33.8 million, consisting of $14.2 million of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, $9.6 million of charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, and $9.9 million for the write-off of related leasehold improvements and fixed assets.

     During fiscal 2003, we recovered approximately $3.8 million of restructuring charges originally accrued under the December 2001 Plan, $2.1 million for benefits and services that were not utilized by the terminated employees, and $1.7 million related to a revision to the net amount of lease payments remaining to be paid on the vacated facilities. In addition, during fiscal 2003, we recorded approximately $3.0 million of additional restructuring charges of which $2.5 million was due to revisions we made for the length of time required to sublease two of our vacated buildings in Fremont, California that were included in the December 2001 Plan and approximately $0.1 million due to additional facility restoration costs incurred to fulfill our contractual obligations under the terms of a lease agreement. Additionally, we revised our estimates related to employee termination costs and recorded $0.4 million of additional employee termination costs.

September 2001 Plan

     During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we began implementing restructuring activities which included a reduction of approximately 550 employees in North America, Europe and Asia, vacating selected facilities at our headquarters in Fremont, California determined to be no longer critical to our operations and discontinuance of the manufacture of specific products within our etch product lines. The employees were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with approximately 85% from North America and 15% from Asia and Europe locations. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $21.0 million consisting of $10.8 million of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, $1.7 million of charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, $7.6 million for discontinued inventory charges related to our decision to discontinue manufacture of specific products within our etch product lines and $0.9 million for the write-off of related leasehold improvements and fixed assets. In fiscal 2003 and 2002, we recovered approximately $1.7 million from unanticipated subsequent sales to our installed base of customers of certain portions of the inventory. In addition, in fiscal 2003 and 2002, we physically disposed of approximately $2.7 million of this inventory. We plan to disposition the remaining quantities of this discontinued, obsolete inventory by the end of the 2003 calendar year.

     During fiscal 2002, we also recovered approximately $1.0 million of the September 2001 Plan charge due to lower than estimated employee termination costs of $0.7 million and lower than estimated expenses relating to a vacated facility lease of $0.3 million. During fiscal 2003, approximately $0.9 million was recovered due to $0.6 million of lower than previously estimated employee severance and termination costs and $0.3 million was recovered due to actual expenses being lower than estimated for vacated facility leases. In addition, during fiscal 2003, we recorded additional charges for the September 2001 Plan based on a revision of our estimate of the length of time required to sublease one of our vacated buildings in Fremont, California. Based on prevailing market conditions, we extended the accrual for lease payments to the end of the lease in June 2004 and recorded an additional $0.6 million relating to these remaining lease payments.

Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Activities

     During the quarter ended December 29, 2002, we completed the restructuring activities associated with the June 2001 Plan. An additional $1.1 million of restructuring charges was recovered due to lower than estimated employee termination costs.

Purchased Technology for Research & Development

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we made an equity investment in and purchased a portfolio of CMP intellectual property rights and research and development technology from Strasbaugh. We recognized a one-time charge to income of $8.0 million for the purchase of in-process research and development technology and recorded a $6.0 million investment in preferred stock and intangible assets. Our equity interest in Strasbaugh, representing approximately 20% of Strasbaugh’s total capital stock, is accounted for under the equity method, and the intellectual property rights are being amortized ratably over five years.

     Based on our analysis of Strasbaugh’s current and expected financial performance, we determined in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 that the carrying value of our equity investment had experienced an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded a $2.0 million charge in other expense to write down the investment to its estimated fair value.

     Our equity in the income (loss) from Strasbaugh as of the end of fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 was ($0.8) million, ($0.8) million and $0.7 million, respectively. The income (loss) has not been material, and, therefore, has been included in other income, net, but not presented as a separate caption on the accompanying statements of operations.

Other Income (Expense), net

     Other income (expense), net, was ($10.3) million, ($8.2) million and $15.1 million in fiscal year 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The change in net other expense in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 was primarily due to the settlement of our equity derivative instruments indexed to Lam stock and lower yields on investments due to declining interest rates partially offset by lower interest expense due to the redemption of our 5% $300 million subordinated

Table of Contents

debentures in September 2002. The increase in net other expense in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 was driven by the non-taxable loss on our equity derivatives indexed to Lam stock, and smaller foreign currency exchange gains due to lower foreign currency balances.

     On August 23, 2002, we settled our outstanding equity derivative contracts by purchasing approximately 3.5 million shares of Lam common stock at an average price of $11.19 per share for a total cash payment of $39.1 million. By settling the equity derivative contracts, we were able to repurchase the shares recording a life to date gain of $8.4 million ($2.41 per share) from their then market value. Resulting from this transaction, we recognized an increase in treasury stock of $47.6 million.

     Based on the $13.60 market price of our common stock at the contract settlement date (August 23, 2002), the fair value of the equity derivative contracts declined by $16.4 million to $8.4 million, from their June 30, 2002 fair value of $24.8 million. This $16.4 million reduction in the equity derivative contracts’ fair value was recorded as a non-taxable loss in other expense in fiscal 2003.

Tax Expense (Benefit)

    Our annual income tax expense (benefit) was ($7.9) million, ($37.9) million, and $60.5 million in fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The gains and losses in fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001 resulting from the change in fair value of our equity derivatives indexed to our stock were non-taxable. In April 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) closed its examination of our tax returns for fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. Resolution was reached on a number of issues including adjustments related to R&D tax credits resulting in our recording a $24.9 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter. In addition, a tax expense of approximately $17.0 million associated with implementing strategies to, in the longer-term, limit our tax liability on the sale of our products worldwide, was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. These tax strategies are structured to align the asset ownership and functions of our various legal entities around the world, with our expectations of the level, timing, and sources of future revenues and profits. In fiscal 2002, we recorded an income tax benefit of $37.9 million related to net losses incurred. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we increased our tax benefit rate to 30%. The increase resulted from the tax benefit of the R&D credit being proportionately greater in subsequent quarters due to lower projected pretax income and investment in engineering and development programs qualifying for R&D tax benefits. For fiscal year 2001, we recorded an income tax expense of $60.5 million, which was 30% of income before taxes.

Deferred Tax Assets

     We had gross deferred tax assets arising from non-deductible temporary differences, net operating losses, and tax credit carryforwards of $287.5 million and $290.4 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002. The gross deferred tax assets are offset by valuation allowances of $36.7 million and $52.2 million and deferred tax liabilities of $30.7 million and $26.7 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002. Realization of our net deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income. We believe it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized; however, ultimate realization could be negatively impacted by market conditions and other variables not known or anticipated at this time. We evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets quarterly and will continue to assess the need for additional valuation allowances, if any.

Outsourcing

     We define aspects of our business as either core or critical capabilities and those that are in support of these activities. We have identified as critical for success in the marketplace our ability to develop leading edge products, to market and sell what we develop, and to service and

27


Table of Contents

support directly what we sell. Most other activities in the Company are in support of product development, marketing and selling and customer service. Consequently, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, we began implementation of an outsourcing strategy to obtain certain support services from third parties. Accordingly, during fiscal 2002, we began to enter into agreements to outsource elements of our manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, facilities management and information technology functions. During fiscal 2003, we continued to enter into agreements to outsource certain elements of our transactional general and administrative functions. We believe that entering into these outsourcing programs will provide us with more flexibility to scale our operations in a more timely manner to respond to the cyclical nature of our business. Implementing this outsourcing strategy is intended to lead to proportionally more of our employees supporting core activities and decrease our reliance on temporary workforce during peak business cycles as well as reduce the fluctuation in employment that occurs due to the cyclical nature of our business.

Related Party Transactions

     During fiscal year 2001, our President and Chief Operating Officer signed a promissory note with Lam entitling him to borrow up to $1.0 million dollars at 6.75% simple interest. At June 29, 2003, the entire principal amount, $1.0 million, and accrued interest was outstanding. The loan is secured by a mortgage on his personal residence and is repayable, in full, together with accrued interest, at any time, but no later than May 8, 2005.

Subsequent Events

     During the quarter ending September 2003, we added a second condition to the accelerated vesting provision contained in one of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s stock option awards that was previously modified in the December 2002 quarter. When and if the vesting of the award is accelerated, all unvested shares shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable, and any remaining deferred compensation would then be recognized as compensation expense within SG&A. The award now provides for accelerated vesting when each of the following conditions is met: (1) the Nasdaq national market closing price of Lam common stock reaches or exceeds $20.00 per share, and (2) applying U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Lam’s fiscal quarter net income exceeds $2.5 million after deducting any incremental amortization expense that results from acceleration of these same options. The two conditions need not be met simultaneously nor in a specific order.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We based our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable, and evaluated them on an on-going basis to ensure they remained reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

     The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements are described in Note 2 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of these significant accounting polices are considered to be critical accounting policies. A critical accounting policy is defined as one that has both a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations and requires us to make difficult, complex and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

     We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant

28


Table of Contents

judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

     Revenue Recognition: We recognize all revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, and we have completed our system installation obligations, received customer acceptance, or are otherwise released from our installation or customer acceptance obligations. In the event that terms of the sale provide for a lapsing customer acceptance period, we recognize revenue upon the expiration of the lapsing acceptance period or customer acceptance, whichever occurs first. In circumstances where the practices of a customer do not provide for a written acceptance and in addition, the terms of sale do not include a lapsing acceptance provision, we recognize revenue where it can be reliably demonstrated that the delivered system meets all of the customer specifications. Revenue related to sales of spare parts, system upgrade kits, and remanufactured systems is generally recognized upon shipment. Revenue related to services is generally recognized upon completion of performance of the services requested by a customer order. Revenue for extended maintenance service contracts with a fixed payment amount and a term more than one month is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

     We changed our revenue recognition policy in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, effective June 26, 2000, based on guidance provided in SAB 101.

     Inventory Valuation: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using standard costs, which approximate actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. We maintain a perpetual inventory system and continuously record the quantity on-hand and standard cost for each product, including purchased components, subassemblies and finished goods. We maintain the integrity of perpetual inventory records through periodic physical counts of quantities on hand. Finished goods are reported as inventories until the point of title transfer to the customer. Generally, title transfer is documented in the terms of sale. When the terms of sale do not specify when title transfers, we assume title transfers when we complete physical delivery of the products unless other customer practices prevail.

     Standard costs are generally re-assessed at least annually and reflect achievable acquisition costs, generally the most recent vendor contract prices for purchased parts, currently obtainable assembly and test labor, and overhead for internally manufactured products. Manufacturing labor and overhead costs are attributed to individual product standard costs at a level planned to absorb spending at average utilization volumes. All intercompany profits related to the sale and purchase of inventory between our legal entities are eliminated from our consolidated financial statements.

     Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairment of inventory at least quarterly. Our policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including manufacturing raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and spare parts in each reporting period. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirements over the next 12 to 36 months is written-down to its estimated market value, if less than cost. Inherent in the estimates of market value are management’s forecasts related to our future manufacturing schedules, customer demand, technological and/or market obsolescence, general semiconductor market conditions, possible alternative uses and ultimate realization of excess inventory. If future customer demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required, and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

     Warranty: Typically, marketing and selling semiconductor capital equipment includes providing parts and service warranty to customers as part of the overall price of the system. We provide standard warranties for our systems that run generally for a period of 12 months from

29


Table of Contents

system acceptance, not to exceed 14 months from shipment of the system to the customer. We record a provision for estimated warranty expenses to cost of sales for each system upon revenue recognition. The amount recorded is based on an analysis of historical activity, which uses factors such as type of system, customer, geographic region, and any known differences such as tool reliability improvements. All actual parts and labor costs incurred in subsequent periods are charged to those established reserves through the application of detailed project record keeping.

     Actual warranty expenses are incurred on a system-by-system basis, and may differ from our original estimates. While we periodically monitor the performance and cost of warranty activities, if actual costs incurred are different than our estimates, we may recognize adjustments to provisions in the period in which those differences arise or are identified. Accordingly, actual costs that exceed the estimates are expensed as incurred, and at the same time, additional probable and estimable liabilities may be recorded.

     We do not maintain general or unspecified reserves; all warranty reserves are related to specific systems. Historically, including the most recent 12 months ended June 29, 2003, all warranty obligations have been determined with reasonable estimates.

     In addition to the provision of standard warranties, we offer customer-paid extended warranty services. Revenues for extended maintenance and warranty services with a fixed payment amount and a term of more than one month are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Related costs are recorded either as incurred or when related liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable.

     Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Employee Stock Option Plans: We account for our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) and stock option plans under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation — an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” (FIN 44) and make pro forma footnote disclosures as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (FAS 148), which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123). Our ESPP is a non-compensatory plan, and our stock option plans are accounted for using the intrinsic value method under the provisions of APB 25.

     Pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share disclosed in the footnotes to our annual consolidated financial statements are estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and which are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each option. Because our stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of our stock-based awards to employees.

     Deferred Income Taxes: We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of our net deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income. We believe it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized; however, ultimate realization could be negatively impacted by market conditions and other variables not known or anticipated at this time. In the event that we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, an adjustment would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized, then the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed. Our current valuation allowance of $36.7 million covers the tax benefit from the exercise of employee stock options and foreign tax credits. When the stock option tax benefits are realized, a portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed and credited to capital in excess of par value. When the foreign tax credits are realized, the remaining portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed through the tax provision (benefit) in the statement of operations as a reduction of income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Costs associated with Exit or Disposal Activities: In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 146. FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3). The principal difference between FAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to FAS 146’s requirements for the timing of recognizing a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3 a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. FAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. We early-adopted FAS 146 in the quarter ended December 29, 2002 and applied its accounting provisions to the restructuring activities initiated during the quarters ended December 29, 2002, March 30, 2003 and June 29, 2003 (see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in this Form 10-K). No restructuring activities were initiated during the quarter ended September 29, 2002.

     Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables: In November 2002, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables (products, services and/or rights to use assets). The provisions of EITF 00-21 will be applicable for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 is not currently anticipated to have a material affect on our financial position or results of operations.

     Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others: In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires a company that is a guarantor to make specific disclosures about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN 45 also requires the guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee. FIN 45 also incorporates, without change, the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. 34, “Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” which is superseded by FIN 45. FIN 45’s disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The provisions of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. (See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in this Form 10-K).

     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure: In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (FAS 148), which amends FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. FAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the “fair value” method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 and requires prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on a company’s financial position and results of operations. The transition guidance and annual

31


Table of Contents

disclosure requirements of FAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. We adopted the interim disclosure requirements of FAS 148 for financial statements in our fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2003. We intend to continue to account for our stock option plans and stock purchase plan under the provisions of APB 25 and FIN 44. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 148 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities: In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of a variable interest entity (VIE), sometimes formerly referred to as a special purpose entity. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 applies to any business enterprise, both public and private, that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship, or other business relationship with a VIE. FIN 46 provides guidance for determining when an entity, the Primary Beneficiary, should consolidate another entity, a VIE, that functions to support the activities of the Primary Beneficiary. FIN 46 will require the consolidation of a VIE by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns or both.

     The effective date of the new rules under FIN 46 on our existing operating leases was immediate on any new leases entered into after January 31, 2003, which utilize VIEs or equivalent lease structures and otherwise effective the first quarter of fiscal 2004. FIN 46 is not anticipated to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations because we have transferred certain of our operating lease agreements to a new lessor that does not qualify as a VIE (See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in this Form 10-K).

     Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (FAS 149). FAS 149 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (FAS 133) for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) and changes financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. Specifically, FAS 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in FAS 133, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that requires reporting as cash flows from financing activities in the statement of cash flows, and (3) amends the definition of an “underlying"(to include a variable such as the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event) to correspond to the language in FIN 45. These changes will result in more consistent reporting of contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives that require separate accounting. FAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. However, the provisions of FAS 149 that codify the previous decisions made by the DIG are already effective and should continue to be applied in accordance with their prior respective effective dates. The adoption of FAS 149 is not anticipated to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity: In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and

32


Table of Contents

Equity”, (FAS 150). FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments including mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. FAS 150 generally requires liability classification for two broad classes of financial instruments: (1) Instruments that represent, or indexed to, an obligation to buy back the issuer’s shares, regardless of whether the instrument is settled on a net-cash or gross physical basis, (2) Obligations that can be settled in shares but meet one of the following conditions: (a) derive their value predominately from some other underlying, or (b) have a fixed value, or have a value to the counterparty that moves in the opposite direction as the issuer’s shares. Many of the instruments within the scope of FAS 150 were previously classified by the issuer as equity or temporary equity. FAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of FAS 150 is not anticipated to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

     We have certain obligations, some of which are recorded on our balance sheet and some which are not, to make future payments under various contracts such as debt agreements, lease agreements, consignment materials and outsourcing agreements. In addition, our off-balance sheet arrangements include contractual relationships for which we have an obligation under certain guarantee contracts. Our contractual cash obligations and commitments relating to these agreements, and our guarantees are included in the following table:

Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities

     Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in this Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for information concerning our debt and other long-term liabilities.

Operating Leases

     We lease most of our administrative, R&D and operating facilities, regional sales/services offices and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2021. Refer to Note 17 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 in this Form 10-K, for further information concerning our operating leases.

     In March 2003, a lease agreement (the Agreement) relating to two properties (land and buildings) at our Fremont, California campus was transferred to a new lessor and amended and restated. The Agreement replaces the former lease that was due to expire in March 2003. As

33


Table of Contents

part of the Agreement, we have the option to purchase the buildings at any time for approximately $54.4 million. In addition, we are required to guarantee the lessor a residual value on the properties of up to $48.4 million at the end of the lease term in fiscal 2008 (in the case that the lease is not renewed, we do not exercise our purchase option, and the lessor sells the property and the sale price is less than the lessor’s cost). We maintain cash collateral of $54.4 million as of June 29, 2003 in separate specified interest-bearing accounts. The lessor is a substantive independent leasing company that does not have the characteristics of a VIE as defined by FIN 46, and, therefore, we do not consolidate its operations.

     In June 2003, two lease agreements relating to four properties (land and buildings) at our Fremont, California campus were transferred to a new lessor and amended and restated (the Lease Agreement). In connection with this transaction, the leases were combined and transferred from the existing lessors to a new lessor, under a single lease structure. As part of the Lease Agreement, we have the option to purchase the buildings at any time for approximately $58.0 million. In addition, the Lease Agreement requires that we guarantee the lessor a residual value on the properties of up to $50.3 million at the end of the lease term in fiscal 2008 (in the case that the lease is not renewed, we do not exercise our purchase option, and the lessor sells the property and the sale price is less than the lessor’s cost). Additionally, as part of the Lease Agreement, we maintain cash collateral of approximately $58.0 million in separate specified interest bearing accounts. The lessor is a substantive independent leasing company that does not have the characteristics of a VIE as defined by FIN 46, and, therefore, we do not consolidate its operations.

Purchase Obligations

     During the second half of fiscal 2002, we began to enter into agreements with third parties to outsource certain elements of our manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, facilities maintenance, and information technology functions. During fiscal 2003, we continued to enter into agreements to outsource certain elements of our transactional, general and administrative functions. We believe that these outsourced services will provide us with more flexibility to scale our operations in a more timely manner to respond to the cyclical nature of our business. In addition to minimum spending commitments, certain of these agreements provide for potential cancellation charges including the potential assumption of leases, assets and employees. Refer to Note 17 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 in this Form for additional information.

     We have certain guaranteed purchase agreements in place that contractually obligate us to purchase a minimum amount of materials related to the manufacturing of our products. At June 29, 2003, our outstanding purchase obligation for these agreements was approximately $10.5 million.

     Consignment inventories, which are owned by vendors but located in our discrete storage locations and warehouses, are not reported as inventory until title is transferred to us, or our purchase obligation is determined. At June 29, 2003, vendor owned inventories held at Lam and not reported as inventory were approximately $6.4 million.

Guarantees

     The transferred lease agreements relating to various properties at our Fremont, California campus and discussed above under “Operating Leases” require us to guarantee residual values of the leased properties to the lessors at the end of the lease terms of up to $98.7 million. The terms of these guarantees, five years, are equal to the remaining terms of the related lease agreements. Under the accounting provisions of FIN 45, we recognized a liability of approximately $1.0 million for the related residual value guarantees under these leases. This liability, determined by computing the present value of estimated probability weighted cash flows to be paid by us over

34


Table of Contents

the term of the guarantees, was recorded as prepaid rent, with the offset recorded as a liability, and the amount is being amortized to rent expense (for the prepaid rent) and to income (for the liability) on a ratable basis over the five-year period of the leases. Refer to Note 18 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 in this Form 10-K, for further information concerning our guaranteed residual values.

     We have issued certain indemnifications to our lessors under certain of our operating lease agreements, such as, indemnification for certain environmental matters. We have entered into certain insurance contracts to minimize our exposure related to such indemnifications. As of June 29, 2003, we have not recorded any liability on our financial statements in connection with these indemnifications, as we do not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     We have agreements with two financial institutions where our U.S. operating company guarantees payment of our Japanese subsidiary’s overdraft protection obligation. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these agreements at June 29, 2003, is approximately $5.2 million, the amount available under the overdraft protection agreement. As of June 29, 2003, our Japanese subsidiary did not owe any amounts under this agreement. We have not recorded any liability on our financial statements in connection with these guarantees, as we do not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     We have an agreement with a financial institution to sell certain U.S. Dollar-denominated receivables generated from the sale of our systems, subject to recourse provisions. We insure these sold receivables for approximately 90% of their value and guarantee payment of the remaining uninsured receivable value in the event that the payment obligation is not satisfied. Based on historical payment patterns, we have experienced negligible default on payment obligations and therefore, believe the risk of loss from default is minimal. The terms of these guarantees are from 90 days past the due date of the receivable, until collected. At June 29, 2003, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under this agreement is approximately $2.8 million. As of June 29, 2003, we have not recorded any liability on our financial statements in connection with these guarantees, as we do not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     Generally, we indemnify our customers, under pre-determined conditions and limitations, for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights by our products or services. We seek to limit our liability for such indemnity to an amount not to exceed the sales prices of the products or services. We do not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     See Note 18 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 in this Form 10K, for discussion relating to our product warranty reserves.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of June 29, 2003, we had $625.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash compared with $945.2 million at June 30, 2002.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $69.2 million in fiscal 2003, which consists of a net loss for the year of $7.7 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $70.3 million and sources of working capital of $6.6 million. Non-cash charges include items such as depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, deferred income taxes, and the adjustment for the loss on equity derivative contracts in our stock.

Table of Contents

     Significant changes in current assets and liabilities include a $23.7 million improvement in accounts receivable resulting from continued improvement in accounts receivable turnover. Additionally, our outsourcing strategy and asset management efforts contributed to reduction of inventory levels of approximately $63.5 million. Trade payables declined by $24.3 million due to reduced spending resulting from our cost containment activities and lower inventory purchases. Accrued liabilities declined by $34.9 million due in part to tax payments and lower interest payable resulting from the redemption of our 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes. Deferred profits for shipments not yet recognized as revenue fell $18.4 million, due to lower rates of shipments and the reduced cycle time in customer acceptances.

     Net cash provided by investing activities during fiscal 2003 was $296.4 million. We sold $355.5 million, net, of short-term investments that were primarily used to repay our 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes (5% Notes) in September 2002. Net capital expenditures were $12.3 million, and our restricted cash increased $47.5 million primarily due to increased cash collateralization requirements under certain of our operating lease agreements.

     Net property and equipment was $48.8 million at June 29, 2003, compared to $67.5 million at June 30, 2002. The decrease in property and equipment in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 is primarily due to minimized expenditures for capital projects during fiscal 2003 and write-offs of leasehold improvements and certain fixed assets related to buildings that we have vacated due to restructuring activities.

     Net cash used by financing activities in fiscal 2003 was $373.3 million and consisted primarily of the repayment of our 5% Notes in the amount of $309.8 million and repayment of our Japanese subsidiary’s long-term loan for approximately $51.1 million. In connection with the settlement of our equity derivative contract, we repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of our common stock for $39.1 million. We also reissued $12.5 million from treasury stock through our employee stock purchase program. Net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock from stock option exercises totaled $14.7 million.

     During fiscal 2003, we settled our outstanding equity derivative contracts that were recorded in other short-term assets. Based on the market price of our common stock at the contract settlement date (August 23, 2002), the fair value of the equity derivative contracts decreased by $16.4 million to $8.4 million from their June 30, 2002 fair value of $24.8 million.

     Currently outstanding debt obligations primarily consist of our 4% Notes.

Details of the 4% Notes are:

     
Offering Date   May 2001
 
Offering Amount   $300.0 million
 
Maturity Date   June 1, 2006
 
Offering Expenses   $8.5 million incurred at the time of offering, ratably amortized to other expense over the term of the 4% Notes. Remaining unamortized balance of $5.0 million and $6.7 million at June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
 
Interest Rate terms   4% payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2001
 
Conversion Rights   Convertible into Lam Common Stock at any time prior to close of business on the maturity date, unless previously redeemed, at a

    conversion price of $44.93 per share subject to anti-dilution adjustments
 
Redemption Terms   Redeemable at Lam’s option, beginning June 5, 2004 with at least 20 days and no more than 60 days notice, at redemption prices starting at 101.0% and at diminishing prices thereafter, plus accrued interest
 
Security   4% Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment in full to all existing and future senior indebtedness of Lam.

     During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the swap) with a notional amount of $300 million in order to hedge changes in the fair value of our 4% Notes, attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The transaction swapped 4% fixed interest payments for variable interest payments based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), resulting in interest expense savings of approximately $10.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2003. Should 6-month LIBOR interest rates rise above approximately 5% per annum in future periods, we would incur incremental interest expense. Under the terms of the transaction, we must provide collateral to match any unfavorable mark-to-market exposure (fair value) on the swap. The amount of collateral required totals a minimum of $6.0 million plus an amount equal to the unfavorable mark-to-market exposure (fair value) on the swap. Therefore, the amount of cash collateral we will have to post in the future will fluctuate from quarter to quarter commensurate with the mark-to-market exposure (fair value) on the swap instrument. Generally, the required collateral will rise as interest rates rise. At the end of fiscal 2003, we have posted $6.0 million of collateral under this swap agreement which is included in restricted cash on our balance sheet (classified as a long-term asset).

     We have designated this swap as a fair value hedge under the provisions of FAS 133. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Note 5 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this Form 10 K.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, we signed a final settlement agreement with Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (Varian) in connection with the patent infringement litigation filed by Varian in October 1993. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Varian granted us a nonexclusive license to the patents involved in the litigation. We agreed to pay Varian $20.0 million in cash ($5.0 million in December 2001 and the remainder to be paid in equal quarterly installments of $1.25 million over a three-year period). These payments began in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. As of June 29, 2003, a total amount of $12.5 million had been paid to Varian, which included the initial $5.0 million in December 2001 and six additional quarterly installment payments of $1.25 million each, totaling $7.5 million as of June 29, 2003. The total obligation remaining as of June 29, 2003 is $7.5 million, which will be paid through December 2004.

     Given the cyclical nature of the semiconductor equipment industry, we believe that maintaining sufficient liquidity reserves is important to ensure our ability to sustain levels of investment in R&D and capital infrastructure through ensuing business cycles. Based upon our current business outlook, our levels of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at June 29, 2003, combined with cash conservation activities, are expected to be sufficient to support our presently anticipated levels of operations, investments, and capital expenditures, through at least the next 12 months.

     In the longer term, liquidity will depend to a great extent on our future revenues and our ability to appropriately size our business based on demand for our products.

Risk Factors

Our Quarterly Revenues and Operating Results are Unpredictable

     Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, not all of which are in our control. We manage our expense levels based in part on our expectations of future revenues. If revenue levels in a particular quarter do not meet our expectations, our operating results may be adversely affected. Because our operating expenses are based in part on anticipated future revenues, and a certain amount of those expenses are relatively fixed, a change in the timing of recognition of revenue and/or the level of gross profit from a single transaction can unfavorably affect operating results in a particular quarter.

     Factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably include, but are not limited to:

  economic conditions in the electronics and semiconductor industry generally and the equipment industry specifically;
 
  the extent that customers use our products and services in their business;
 
  timing of customer acceptances of equipment;
 
  the size and timing of orders from customers;
 
  customer cancellations or delays in our shipments, installations, and/or acceptances;
 
  changes in average selling prices and product mix;
 
  our ability in a timely manner to develop, introduce and market new, enhanced and competitive products;
 
  our competitors’ introduction of new products;
 
  legal or technical challenges to our products and technology;
 
  changes in import/export regulations;
 
  transportation, communication, demand, information technology or supply disruptions based on factors outside our control such as Acts of God, wars, terrorist activities and natural disasters;
 
  legislative, tax, or regulatory changes or changes in their interpretation;
 
  procurement shortages;
 
  manufacturing difficulties;
 
  the failure of our suppliers or outsource providers to perform their obligations in a manner consistent with our expectations;
 
  new or modified accounting regulations;
 
  exchange rate fluctuations; and
 
  exposure on interest rate swap agreements.

38


Table of Contents

     Further, because a significant amount of our R&D and administrative operations and capacity is located at our Fremont, California, facility, natural, physical, logistical or other events or disruptions affecting this facility (including labor disruptions, earthquakes and power failures) could adversely impact our financial performance.

We Derive Our Revenues Primarily from a Relatively Small Number of High-Priced Systems

     System sales constitute a significant portion of our total revenue. Our systems can range in price from approximately $400,000 to $4 million per unit, and our revenues in any given quarter are dependent upon the acceptance of a rather limited number of such systems. As a result, the inability to declare revenue on even a few systems can cause a significant adverse impact on our revenues for that quarter.

Variations in the Amount of Time it Takes for Our Customers to Accept Our Systems May Cause Fluctuation in Our Operating Results

     We generally recognize revenue for new system sales on the date of customer acceptance or the date the contractual customer acceptance provisions lapse. As a result, the fiscal period in which we are able to recognize new systems revenues is subject to the length of time that our customers require to evaluate the performance of our equipment after shipment and installation, which could cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate.

The Semiconductor Equipment Industry Is Volatile and Reduced Product Demand Has a Negative Impact on Shipments

     Our business depends on the capital equipment expenditures of semiconductor manufacturers, which in turn depend on the current and anticipated market demand for integrated circuits and products using integrated circuits. The semiconductor industry is cyclical in nature and historically experiences periodic downturns. During calendar year 2001 and the first half of calendar year 2002, semiconductor manufacturers canceled or delayed delivery of orders as a result of overcapacity. The resulting demand contraction had a negative impact on the level of system shipments during fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001. The semiconductor industry is experiencing a continued and prolonged downturn, and as of the end of fiscal 2003, our customers continue to remain cautious about their levels of capital expenditures.

     Fluctuating levels of investment by the semiconductor manufacturers could continue to materially affect our aggregate shipments, revenues and operating results. We will attempt to respond to these fluctuations with cost management programs aimed at aligning our expenditures with anticipated revenue streams, which sometimes result in restructuring charges. Even during periods of reduced revenues, we must continue to invest in research and development and maintain extensive ongoing worldwide customer service and support capabilities to remain competitive, which may temporarily harm our financial results.

We Depend on New Products and Processes for Our Success. Consequently, We are Subject to Risks Associated with Rapid Technological Change

     Rapid technological changes in semiconductor manufacturing processes subject us to increased pressure to develop technological advances enabling such processes. We believe that our future success depends in part upon our ability to develop and offer new products with improved capabilities and to continue to enhance our existing products. If new products have reliability or quality problems, our performance may be impacted by reduced orders, higher manufacturing costs, delays in acceptance of and payment for new products, and additional service and warranty expenses. We may be unable to develop and have new products manufactured successfully, or new products that we introduce may fail in the marketplace. Our

39


Table of Contents

failure to complete commercialization of these new products in a timely manner could result in unanticipated costs and inventory obsolescence, which would adversely affect our financial results.

     In order to develop new products and processes, we expect to continue to make significant investments in R&D and to pursue joint development relationships with customers or other members of the industry. We must manage product transitions and joint development relationships successfully, as introduction of new products could adversely affect our sales of existing products. Future technologies, processes or product developments may render our current product offerings obsolete, leaving us with non-competitive products, or obsolete inventory, or both.

We Are Subject to Risks Relating to Product Concentration and Lack of Product Revenue Diversification

     We derive a substantial percentage of our revenues from a limited number of products, and we expect these products to continue to account for a large percentage of our revenues in the near term. Continued market acceptance of our primary products is, therefore, critical to our future success. Our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows could therefore be adversely affected by:

  a decline in demand for even a limited number of our products;
 
  a failure to achieve continued market acceptance of our key products;
 
  an improved version of products being offered by a competitor in the market we participate in;
 
  technological change that we are unable to address with our products; and
 
  a failure to release new enhanced versions of our products on a timely basis.

We Have a Limited Number of Key Customers

     Sales to a limited number of large customers constitute a significant portion of our overall revenue. As a result, the actions of even one customer may subject us to revenue swings that are difficult to predict or prepare for. Similarly, significant portions of our credit risk may, at any given time, be concentrated among a limited number of customers.

We Are Dependent Upon a Limited Number of Key Suppliers

     We obtain certain components and sub-assemblies included in our products from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. We have established long-term contracts with many of these suppliers. These long-term contracts can take a variety of forms. We may renew these contracts periodically. In some cases, these component suppliers sold us products during at least the last four years, and we expect that we will continue to renew these contracts in the future or that we will otherwise replace them with competent alternative source suppliers. However, several of our outsourced assembly suppliers are new providers to us so that our experience with them and their performance is limited. Where practical, our intent is to establish alternative sources to mitigate the risk that the failure of any single supplier will adversely affect our business. Nevertheless, a prolonged inability to obtain certain components could impair our ability to ship products, lower our revenues and thus adversely affect our operating results and result in damage to our customer relationships.

Our Outsource Providers May Fail to Perform as We Expect

40


Table of Contents

     We are expanding the roles that outsource providers play in our business. We anticipate that these outsource providers will play key roles in our manufacturing operations and in many of our transactional and administrative functions. Although we aim at selecting reputable providers and secure their performance on terms documented in written contracts, it is possible that one or more of these providers could fail to perform as we expect and such failure could have an adverse impact on our business. In addition, the expanded role of outsource providers has and will require us to implement changes to our existing operations and to adopt new procedures to deal with and manage the performance of these outsource providers. Any delay or failure in the implementation of our operational changes and new procedures could adversely affect our customer relationships and/or have a negative effect on our operating results.

Once a Semiconductor Manufacturer Commits to Purchase a Competitor’s Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment, the Manufacturer Typically Continues to Purchase That Competitor’s Equipment, Making It More Difficult for Us to Sell our Equipment to That Customer

     Semiconductor manufacturers must make a substantial investment to qualify and integrate wafer processing equipment into a semiconductor production line. We believe that once a semiconductor manufacturer selects a particular supplier’s processing equipment, the manufacturer generally relies upon that equipment for that specific production line application. Accordingly, we expect it to be more difficult to sell to a given customer if that customer initially selects a competitor’s equipment.

We Are Subject to Risks Associated with Our Competitors’ Introduction of New Products and We May Lack the Financial Resources or Technological Capabilities of Certain of Our Competitors Needed to Capture Increased Market Share

     We expect to face significant competition from multiple current and future competitors. We believe that other companies are developing systems and products that are competitive to ours and are planning to introduce new products, which may affect our ability to sell our existing products. We face a greater risk if our competitors enter into strategic relationships with leading semiconductor manufacturers covering products similar to those we sell or may develop, as this could adversely affect our ability to sell products to those manufacturers.

     We believe that to remain competitive we will require significant financial resources to offer a broad range of products, to maintain customer service and support centers worldwide, and to invest in product and process R&D. Certain of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources and more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and customer service and support resources than we do and therefore have the potential to increasingly dominate the semiconductor equipment industry. These competitors may deeply discount or give away products similar to those that we sell, challenging or even exceeding our ability to make similar accommodations and threatening our ability to sell those products. For these reasons, we may fail to continue to compete successfully worldwide.

     In addition, our competitors may provide innovative technology that may have performance advantages over systems we currently, or expect to, offer. They may be able to develop products comparable or superior to those we offer or may adapt more quickly to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. In particular, while we currently are developing additional product enhancements that we believe will address future customer requirements, we may fail in a timely manner to complete the development or introduction of these additional product enhancements successfully, or these product enhancements may not achieve market acceptance or be competitive. Accordingly, we may be unable to continue to compete in our markets, competition may intensify, or future competition may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Our Future Success Depends on International Sales

     Non-U.S. sales accounted for approximately 72% of our total revenue in fiscal 2003, 71% in fiscal 2002, and 70% in fiscal 2001. We expect that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue in future years. International sales are subject to risks, including, but not limited to:

  foreign exchange risks;
 
  changing import/export requirements;
 
  foreign trade disputes; and
 
  economic, political, banking and currency problems in the relevant region.

     We currently enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Japanese Yen-denominated assets and will continue to enter into hedging transactions for the purposes outlined in the foreseeable future.

A Failure to Comply with Environmental Regulations May Adversely Affect Our Operating Results

     We are subject to a variety of governmental regulations related to the discharge or disposal of toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals. We believe that we are in general compliance with these regulations and that we have obtained (or will obtain or are otherwise addressing) all necessary environmental permits to conduct our business. These permits generally relate to the disposal of hazardous wastes. Nevertheless, the failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines being imposed on us, suspension of production, cessation of our operations or reduction in our customers’ acceptance of our products. These regulations could require us to alter our current operations, to acquire significant equipment or to incur substantial other expenses to comply with environmental regulations. Our failure to control the use, sale, transport or disposal of hazardous substances could subject us to future liabilities.

If We Are Unable to Adjust the Scale of Our Business in Response to Rapid Changes in Demand in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry, Our Operating Results and Our Ability to Compete Successfully May Be Impaired

     The business cycle in the semiconductor equipment industry is characterized by frequent periods of rapid change in demand that challenge our management to adjust spending on operating activities. During periods of rapid growth or decline in demand for our products and services, we face significant challenges in maintaining adequate financial and business controls, management processes, information systems and procedures on a timely basis and training, managing, and appropriately sizing our work force. Our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the ability of our executive officers and other members of our senior management to identify and respond to these challenges effectively. If we do not adequately meet these challenges, our gross margins and earnings may be impaired during periods of demand decline, and we may lack the infrastructure and resources to scale up our business to meet customer expectations and compete successfully during periods of demand growth.

If We Choose to Acquire or Dispose of Product Lines and Technologies, We May Encounter Unforeseen Costs and Difficulties That Could Impair Our Financial Performance

     An important element of our management strategy is to review acquisition prospects that would complement our existing products, augment our market coverage and distribution ability, or enhance our technological capabilities. As a result, we may make acquisitions of

42


Table of Contents

complementary companies, products or technologies, or we may reduce or dispose of certain product lines or technologies, which no longer fit our long-term strategies. Managing an acquired business, disposing of product technologies or reducing personnel entails numerous operational and financial risks, including difficulties in assimilating acquired operations and new personnel or separating existing business or product groups, diversion of management’s attention away from other business concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and potential loss of key employees or customers of acquired or disposed operations among others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve and manage successfully any such integration of potential acquisitions, disposition of product lines or technologies, or reduction in personnel or that our management, personnel, or systems will be adequate to support continued operations. Any such inabilities or inadequacies could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

     In addition, any acquisitions could result in changes such as potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, the amortization of related intangible assets, and goodwill impairment charges, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and/or the price of our Common Stock.

The Market for Our Common Stock is Extremely Volatile, Which May Affect Our Ability to Raise Capital or Make Acquisitions

     The market price for our Common Stock is extremely volatile and has fluctuated significantly over the past years. The trading price of our Common Stock could continue to be highly volatile and fluctuate widely in response to factors, including but not limited to the following:

  general market, semiconductor, or semiconductor equipment industry conditions;
 
  global economic fluctuations;
 
  variations in our quarterly operating results;
 
  variations in our revenues or earnings from levels that securities analysts forecast;
 
  announcements of restructurings, technological innovations, reductions in force, departure of key employees, consolidations of operations, or introduction of new products;
 
  government regulations;
 
  developments in, or claims relating to, patent or other proprietary rights;
 
  disruptions with key customers or suppliers; or
 
  political, economic, or environmental events occurring globally or in any of our key sales regions.

     In addition, the stock market experiences significant price and volume fluctuations. Historically, we have witnessed significant volatility in the price of our Common Stock due in part to the actual or anticipated movement in interest rates and the price of and markets for semiconductors. These broad market and industry factors have and may again adversely affect the price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In the past, following volatile periods in the price of stock, many companies became the object of securities class action litigation. If we are sued in a securities class action, we could incur substantial costs, and it could divert a management’s attention and resources and have an unfavorable impact on the

43

price for our Common Stock.

We Rely Upon Certain Critical Information Systems for the Operation of our Business

     We maintain and rely upon certain critical Information Systems for the effective operation of our business. These Information Systems include telecommunications, the internet, our corporate intranet, various computer hardware and software applications, network communications, and email. These Information Systems may be owned by us or by our outsource providers or even third parties such as vendors and contractors and may be maintained by us or by such providers and third parties. These Information Systems are subject to attacks, failures, and access denials from a number of potential sources including viruses, destructive or inadequate code, power failures, and physical damage to computers, hard drives, communication lines, and networking equipment. We have security procedures, such as virus protection software and emergency recovery processes, that are believed to be adequate to cover the outlined risks; however, our inability to use or access these Information Systems at critical points in time could unfavorably impact the timely and efficient operation of our business.

Risk Associated with Our Interest Rate Swap Agreement

     We aim to limit the impact of interest rate exposure associated with our interest rate sensitive investments and debt obligations. To minimize the effect of the interest rate exposure associated with our 4% convertible subordinated notes, we have entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $300 million. We entered into the swap in order to hedge changes in the fair value of our 4% Notes, attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, by swapping 4% fixed interest payments for variable interest payments based on the LIBOR based interest rate.

     If 6-month LIBOR based interest rates remain at current levels or decrease we expect the swap will result in interest savings. However, a rise in 6-month LIBOR based interest rates above approximately 5% per annum in future periods would result in incremental levels of interest expense.

The Potential Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Bylaws Provisions and the Rights Plan We Have in Place May Affect Our Stock Price and Inhibit a Change of Control Desired by Some of Our Stockholders

     In 1997, we adopted a Rights Plan (the Rights Plan) in which rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of our Common Stock, held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 1997, and thereafter. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, our Board of Directors also adopted a number of amendments to our Bylaws, including amendments requiring advance notice of stockholder nominations of directors and stockholder proposals.

     Our Rights Plan may have certain anti-takeover effects. Our Rights Plan will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire Lam in certain circumstances. Accordingly, the existence of the Rights Plan and the issuance of the related rights may deter certain acquirers from making takeover proposals or tender offers. The Rights Plan, however, is not intended to prevent a takeover. Rather it is designed to enhance the ability of our Board of Directors to negotiate with a potential acquirer on behalf of all of our stockholders.

     In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes issuance of 5,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue this Preferred Stock on such terms as the Board of Directors may determine, which also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Lam. The issuance of Preferred Stock could also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our Common Stock, including causing the loss of voting control. Moreover, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law restricts certain business combinations with “interested stockholders”, as defined by that statute.

Intellectual Property and Other Claims Against Us Can Be Costly and Could Result in the Loss of Significant Rights Which Are Necessary to Our Continued Business and Profitability

     Third parties may assert infringement, unfair competition or other claims against us. From time to time, other parties send us notices alleging that our products infringe their patent or other intellectual property rights. In addition, our Bylaws and indemnity agreements with certain officers, directors and key employees provide that we will indemnify officers and directors against losses that they may incur in legal proceedings resulting from their service to Lam. In such cases, it is our policy either to defend the claims or to negotiate licenses on commercially reasonable terms. However, we may be unable in the future to negotiate necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and any litigation resulting from these claims by other

44


Table of Contents

parties may materially adversely affect our business and financial results.

We May Fail to Protect Our Proprietary Technology Rights, Which Would Affect Our Business

     Our success depends in part on our proprietary technology. While we attempt to protect our proprietary technology through patents, copyrights and trade secret protection, we believe that our success also depends on increasing our technological expertise, continuing our development of new systems, increasing market penetration and growth of our installed base, and providing comprehensive support and service to our customers. However, we may be unable to protect our technology in all instances, or our competitors may develop similar or more competitive technology independently. We currently hold a number of United States and foreign patents and pending patent applications. However, other parties may challenge or attempt to invalidate or circumvent any patents the United States or foreign governments issue to us or these governments may fail to issue pending applications. In addition, the rights granted or anticipated under any of these patents or pending patent applications may be narrower than we expect or, in fact provide no competitive advantages.

     Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. We maintain a conservative investment policy, which focuses on the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted-average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio, long-term assets and long-term debt obligations at June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002:

     We mitigate default risk by investing in high credit quality securities and by constantly positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to achieve portfolio liquidity and maintain a prudent amount of diversification.

     We have no foreign exchange cash flow exposure related to our fixed rate $300.0 million convertible subordinated notes.

     We conduct business on a global basis in several major international currencies. As such, we are potentially exposed to adverse as well as beneficial movements in foreign currency exchange rates. For this reason, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the value of our Japanese Yen-denominated assets. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in other income and expense. In addition, we periodically hedge anticipated cash flow transactions with foreign currency forward contracts. We defer the gains and losses on these contracts and recognize them in income during the same period as the hedged transaction is recognized in income.

     On June 29, 2003, the notional amount of outstanding Japanese Yen forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges was $2.2 million. The unrealized loss on the contracts on June 29, 2003, was $0.1 million. A 15% appreciation of the Japanese Yen would result in an unrealized loss of $0.4 million, while depreciation in the exchange rate of the Japanese Yen of approximately 15% would result in an unrealized gain of $0.3 million.

     On June 29, 2003, the notional amount of outstanding Japanese Yen forward contracts that are designated as balance sheet hedges was $16.4 million. The unrealized gain on the contracts on June 29, 2003, was $0.3 million. A 15% appreciation of the Japanese Yen would result in an unrealized loss of $2.9 million. Depreciation in the exchange rate of the Japanese Yen of

approximately 15% would result in an unrealized gain of $2.1 million.

     During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $300.0 million in order to hedge changes in the fair value of the Company’s 4% Notes, attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, by swapping 4% fixed interest payments for variable interest rates payments based on LIBOR. At June 29, 2003, the fair value of the swap, $19.2 million, was recorded in other long-term assets. An increase in rates by 1% would result in a decline in the fair value of the swap of $7.7 million. A decrease in rates by 1% would result in an increase in the fair value of the swap of $9.0 million.

PART III

     We have omitted from this Report certain information required by Part III because we, as the Registrant, will file a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, pursuant to Regulation 14A, as promulgated by the SEC, for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held November 6, 2003 (the Proxy Statement), and certain information included therein is incorporated herein by reference. (However, the Report of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Comparative Stock Performance graph of the Registrant’s Proxy Statement are expressly not incorporated by reference herein.) For information regarding our executive officers, see Part I of this Form 10-K under the caption “Executive Officers of the Company”, which information is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to our Proxy Statement under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.

Item 14. Controls and Procedures

     As of the close of our fiscal year ended June 29, 2003, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

     We intend to review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and to correct any material deficiencies that we may discover. Our goal is to ensure that our senior management has timely access to material information that could affect our business. While we believe the present design of our disclosure controls and procedures is reasonably effective to achieve our goal, future events affecting our business may cause us to modify our disclosure controls and procedures. The effectiveness of controls cannot be absolute because the cost to design and implement a control to identify errors or mitigate the risk of errors occurring should not outweigh the potential loss caused by the errors that would likely be detected by the control. Moreover, we believe that disclosure controls and procedures cannot be guaranteed to be 100% effective all of the time. Accordingly, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 29, 2003

Note 1: Company and Industry Information

     Lam Research Corporation (the Company) designs, manufactures, markets, and services semiconductor processing equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. The Company’s product offerings include etch systems with a wide range of applications, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and post-CMP wafer cleaning systems as well as post-sale services and support for these systems. The Company sells its products primarily to companies involved in the production of semiconductors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific. Credit risk evaluations, including trade references, bank references and Dunn & Bradstreet ratings are performed on all new customers, and subsequent to credit application approval, the Company monitors its customers’ financial statements and payment performance. In general, the Company does not require collateral on sales.

     The semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns, which have had a material adverse effect on the semiconductor industry’s demand for wafer processing equipment, including equipment manufactured and marketed by the Company. Certain of the components and subassemblies included in the Company’s products are obtained from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. The Company believes that alternative sources could be obtained and qualified to supply these products. Nevertheless, a prolonged inability to obtain certain components could have a severe near-term effect on the Company’s operating results and could result in damage to customer relationships.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company based its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable, and evaluates them on an on-going basis to ensure they remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

     Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes all revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, and the Company has completed its system installation obligations, received customer acceptance, or is otherwise released from its installation or customer acceptance obligations. In the event that terms of the sale provide for a lapsing customer acceptance period, the Company recognizes revenue upon the expiration of the lapsing acceptance period or customer acceptance, whichever occurs first. In circumstances where the practices of a customer do not provide for a written acceptance and in addition, the terms of sale do not include a lapsing acceptance provision, the Company recognizes revenue where it can be reliably demonstrated that the delivered system meets all of the customer specifications. Revenue related to sales of spare parts, system upgrade kits, and remanufactured systems is generally recognized upon shipment. Revenue related to services is generally recognized upon performance of the services requested by a customer order. Revenue for extended maintenance service contracts with a fixed payment amount and a term of more than one month is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

     The Company changed its revenue recognition policy in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001,

Table of Contents

effective June 26, 2000, based on guidance provided in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”

     Inventory Valuation: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using standard costs, which approximate actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company maintains a perpetual inventory system and continuously records the quantity on-hand and standard cost for each product, including purchased components, subassemblies and finished goods. The Company maintains the integrity of perpetual inventory records through periodic physical counts of quantities on hand. Finished goods are reported as inventories until the point of title transfer to the customer. Generally, title transfer is documented in the terms of sale. When the terms of sale do not specify when title transfers, the Company assumes title transfers when it completes physical delivery of the products unless other customer practices prevail.

     Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairment of inventory at least quarterly. The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including manufacturing raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and spare parts in each reporting period. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirements over the next 12 to 36 months is written-down to its estimated market value, if less than cost. Inherent in the estimates of market value are management’s forecasts related to the Company’s future manufacturing schedules, customer demand, technological and/or market obsolescence, general semiconductor market conditions, possible alternative uses and ultimate realization of excess inventory. If future customer demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company’s projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required, and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

     Warranty: Typically, marketing and selling semiconductor capital equipment includes providing parts and service warranty to customers as part of the overall price of the system. The Company provides standard warranties on its systems that run generally for a period of 12 months from acceptance, not to exceed 14 months from shipment of the system to the customer. The Company records a provision for estimated warranty expenses to cost of sales for each system upon revenue recognition. The amount recorded is based on an analysis of historical activity, which uses factors such as type of system, customer, geographic region and any known differences such as tool reliability improvements. All actual parts and labor costs incurred in subsequent periods are charged to those established reserves through the application of detailed project record keeping.

     In addition to the provision of standard warranties, the Company provides customer-paid extended warranty services. Revenues for extended maintenance and warranty services, with a fixed payment amount and a term of more than one month, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Related costs are recorded either as incurred or when related liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable.

     Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Employee Stock Option Plans: The Company accounts for its employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) and stock option plans under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation — an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” (FIN 44) and makes pro forma footnote disclosures as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (FAS 148), which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123). The Company’s ESPP is a non-compensatory plan, and the Company’s stock option plans are accounted for using the intrinsic value method under the provisions of APB 25.

     Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share is required by FAS 123 and FAS 148 as if the Company had accounted for its stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of FAS 123 and FAS 148. The fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards to employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and which are fully transferable and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each option. The fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:

                                                 
    Options   ESPP
   
 
    June 29,   June 30,   June 24,   June 29,   June 30,   June 24,
    2003   2002   2001   2003   2002   2001
   
 
 
 
 
 
Expected life (years)
    2.4       3.8       3.0       0.63       0.42       0.54  
Expected stock price volatility
    74.0 %     71.0 %     83.0 %     74.0 %     71.0 %     83.0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    1.5 %     4.1 %     4.9 %     1.5 %     4.1 %     4.9 %

     The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $4.47, $11.77, and $12.15 per share, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of shares granted under the ESPP plans during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, was $5.07, $6.34, and $6.08 per share, respectively.

     For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards is amortized over the option’s vesting period (for options) and the respective four, six, twelve, or sixteen-month purchase periods (for stock purchases under the employee stock purchase plan). The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had accounted for its stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of accounting under FAS 123, as amended by FAS 148:

     Deferred Income Taxes: The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized, $220.1 million at June 29, 2003. Realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income. The Company believes it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized; however, ultimate realization could be negatively impacted by market conditions and other variables not known or anticipated at this time. In the event that the Company determines that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets, an adjustment would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if the Company later determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized, then the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed. The Company’s current valuation allowance of $36.7 million covers the tax benefit from the exercise of employee stock options and foreign tax credits. When the stock option tax benefits are realized, a portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed and credited to capital in excess of par value. When the foreign tax credits are realized, the remaining portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed through the tax provision (benefit) in the statement of operations as a reduction of income tax expense.

     Fiscal Year: The Company follows a 52/53-week fiscal reporting calendar and its fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of June each year. The Company’s most recent fiscal year ended on June 29, 2003 and included 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended on June 30, 2002, included 53 weeks, and the extra week did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s next fiscal year, ending on June 27, 2004, will include 52 weeks.

     Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: All investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. All of the Company’s

57


Table of Contents

short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale at the respective balance sheet dates. The Company marks-to-market its investment portfolio. The investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices, and any material temporary difference between the cost and fair value of an investment is presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The specific identification method is used to determine the realized gains and losses on investments.

     Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the term of the underlying lease. Amortization of equipment under capital leases is included with depreciation.

     Restructuring Charges: In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (FAS 146). FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3). The Company early-adopted FAS 146 in the quarter ended December 29, 2002. FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, rather than when the exit or disposal plan is approved. Accordingly, restructuring accruals are recorded when management, with the proper level of authority, approves the specific actions under a plan, communicates the reduction activities and severance packages to the affected employees, and vacates the facilities included in the plan. Accruals related to vacated facilities are calculated net of estimated sublease income, and leasehold improvements related to vacated facilities are written off as these items have no future economic benefit. Sublease income is estimated based on current market estimates. If the Company is unable to sublet the vacated properties on a timely basis, the Company adjusts the accrual accordingly.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company routinely considers whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. If such indicators are present, the Company determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their carrying value. If the sum is less, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods. If the assets determined to be impaired are to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment charge to the extent the present value of anticipated net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the asset’s carrying value. The fair value of the asset then becomes the asset’s new carrying value, which the Company depreciates over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

     Investments in Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to Lam Research Corporation Stock: In November 2000, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Determination of Whether Share Settlement is Within the Control of the Issuer,” for the purposes of applying EITF Issue No. 96-13, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 00-19). EITF Issue No. 96-13 addresses accounting for equity derivative contracts indexed

58


Table of Contents

to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock (equity derivatives) by providing guidance for distinguishing between permanent equity, temporary equity and assets and liabilities.

     The Company’s equity derivatives included certain put and call options indexed to its own stock. Application of EITF 00-19 required these instruments to be recorded at their fair value at the end of each reporting period and the changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss on the Company’s statement of operations. These equity derivatives were collateralized by restricted cash and could not be settled in unregistered shares. They were classified as other short-term assets and were settled in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 (See Note 6).

     Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge a variety of risk exposures including interest rate risks associated with its long-term debt, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the value of its cash flows from forecasted revenue denominated in Japanese Yen and foreign currency denominated assets. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are discussed in detail in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

     The Company does not purchase derivatives for speculative or for trading purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship must meet criteria relating both to the derivative instrument and the hedged item. These include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows will be measured.

     When derivative instruments are designated and qualify as effective hedges of identified fair value exposures, the Company is able to offset changes in the fair value of the identified exposures by changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments. When derivative instruments are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges, the Company is able to defer changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged exposure is realized. Consequently, with the exception of hedge ineffectiveness recognized, the Company’s results of operations are not subject to fluctuation as a result of changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. If hedges are not highly effective or if the Company does not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the Company may not be able to account for its investments in derivative instruments as hedges. If this were to occur in a future period, changes in the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments would be recognized in operations without the benefits of offsets or deferrals of changes in fair value arising from hedge accounting treatment.

     To hedge foreign currency risks, the Company uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts. These forward contracts are valued using standard valuation formulas with assumptions about future foreign currency exchange rates derived from existing exchange rates and interest rates observed in the market.

     The Company considers its most current outlook in determining the level of foreign currency denominated intercompany revenues to hedge. The Company combines these forecasts with historical trends to establish the portion of its expected volume to be hedged. The revenues are hedged for exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Should the level of revenues expected not occur, the Company’s investments in derivatives used to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates may not qualify for hedge accounting.

     To hedge interest rate risk, an interest rate swap is used in connection with the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Notes (4% Notes) in which the Company pays a variable interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate. This instrument is valued using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected

59


Table of Contents

variable cash payments arising under the swap. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. The Company has not changed its methods of calculating fair values or developing the underlying assumptions. The values of these derivatives will change over time as cash receipts and payments are made and as market conditions change. In future periods, if changes in the fair value of the swap are no longer effective at hedging changes in the fair value of its fixed rate 4% Notes, the interest rate swap may no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Information about the fair values, notional amounts, and contractual terms of these instruments can be found in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

     The Company does not believe that it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its interest rate and foreign currency hedges, as counterparties are established and well-capitalized financial institutions. The Company’s exposures are in liquid currencies (Japanese Yen), so there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain our hedging program would not be available in the future.

     Foreign Currency: Through fiscal year 2003, the functional currencies of the Company’s European, Japanese and Asia Pacific subsidiaries are generally the individual subsidiaries’ local currencies. The Company’s subsidiaries primarily generate and expend cash in their local currency; billings and receipts for their labor and services are primarily denominated in the local currency (workforce is paid in local currency); their individual assets and liabilities are primarily denominated in the local foreign currency and do not materially impact the Company’s cash flows and there is an active local sales market for the foreign subsidiaries’ products and services. Accordingly, all balance sheet accounts of these local functional currency subsidiaries are translated at the fiscal period-end exchange rate, and income statement accounts are translated at an average rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as cumulative translation adjustments, which are a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

     Reclassifications: Certain amounts presented in the comparative financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2003 presentation.

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Costs associated with Exit or Disposal Activities: FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF 94-3. The principal difference between FAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to FAS 146’s requirements for the timing of recognizing a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3 a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. FAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The Company early-adopted FAS 146 in the quarter ended December 29, 2002 and applied its accounting provisions to the restructuring activities initiated during the quarters ended December 29, 2002, March 30, 2003, and June 29, 2003 (see Note 21). No restructuring activities were initiated during the quarter ended September 29, 2002.

     Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables: In November 2002, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables (products, services, and/or rights to use assets). The provisions of EITF 00-21 will be applicable for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the

Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others: In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires a company that is a guarantor to make specific disclosures about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN 45 also requires the guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee. FIN 45 also incorporates, without change, the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. 34, “Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” which is superseded by FIN 45. FIN 45’s disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The provisions of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. (See Note 18).

     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure: In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS 148, which amends FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. FAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the “fair value” method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 and requires prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on a company’s financial position and results of operations. The transition guidance and annual disclosure requirements of FAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the interim disclosure requirements of FAS 148 for financial statements in its fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2003. The Company intends to continue to account for its stock option plans and stock purchase plans under the provisions of APB 25 and FIN 44. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 148 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities: In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of a variable interest entity (VIE), sometimes formerly referred to as a special-purpose entity. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 applies to any business enterprise, both public and private, that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a VIE. FIN 46 provides guidance for determining when an entity, the Primary Beneficiary, should consolidate another entity, a VIE, that functions to support the activities of the Primary Beneficiary. FIN 46 requires the consolidation of a VIE by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns or both.

     The effective date of the new rules under FIN 46 on the Company’s existing operating leases is the first quarter of fiscal 2004, and immediately on any new leases entered into after January 31, 2003, which utilize VIEs or equivalent lease structures. FIN 46 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations because the Company has transferred certain of its operating lease agreements to a new lessor that does not qualify as a VIE (See Note 17).

     Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of

61


Table of Contents

Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, (FAS 149). FAS 149 amends FAS 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) and changes financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. Specifically, FAS 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in FAS 133, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that requires reporting as cash flows from financing activities in the statement of cash flows and (3) amends the definition of an “underlying” to correspond to the language in FIN 45. These changes will result in more consistent reporting of contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives that require separate accounting. FAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. However, the provisions of FAS 149 that codify the previous decisions made by the DIG are already effective and should continue to be applied in accordance with their prior respective effective dates. The adoption of FAS 149 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity: In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, (FAS 150). FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments including mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. FAS 150 generally requires liability classification for two broad classes of financial instruments: (1) instruments that represent, or indexed to, an obligation to buy back the issuer’s shares, regardless of whether the instrument is settled on a net-cash or gross physical basis, (2) obligations that can be settled in shares but meet one of the following conditions: (a) derive their value predominately from some other underlying, or (b) have a fixed value, or have a value to the counterparty that moves in the opposite direction as the issuer’s shares. Many of the instruments within the scope of FAS 150 were previously classified by the issuer as equity or temporary equity. FAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of FAS 150 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     The Company marks-to-market its investment portfolio. At June 30, 2002, it was management’s estimate that the fair market values of the Company’s investments in debt securities and restricted cash materially approximated their carrying values (cost). Realized gains and (losses) from investments sold were approximately $196,000 and ($92,000) in fiscal 2003 and $326,000 in fiscal 2002. Realized gains and (losses) for investments sold are based on specific identification. Management assesses the fair value of investments in debt securities that are not actively traded through consideration of interest rates and their impact on the present value of the cash flows to be received from the investments. The Company also considers whether changes in the credit ratings of the issuer could impact the assessment of fair value. The fair value of the Company’s investments in auction rate preferred securities is based upon par value, which approximates fair value due to the nature of the instruments.

     The Company’s available-for-sale securities are invested in financial instruments with a minimum rating of A2 or A, as rated by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s (S&P), respectively.

     The amortized cost of investments in debt securities with contractual maturities is as follows:

     Management has the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate any of its investments in order to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the next 12 months. Accordingly, those investments with contractual maturities greater than one year from the date of purchase have been classified as short-term on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     The fair value of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes and the Company’s other long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates available for debt instruments with comparable terms and maturities. The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts is estimated based upon the Japanese Yen exchange rates at June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. See Note 6 for a discussion of the equity derivative contracts in the Company’s stock and its fair value.

     At June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002, the notional amount of outstanding Japanese Yen forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges was $2.2 million and $48.3 million respectively. On the same dates, the notional amount of Japanese Yen forward contracts that are designated as balance sheet hedges was $16.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively.

     The Company has an agreement to sell specific U.S. Dollar-denominated receivables, subject to recourse provisions to a financial institution. At June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, $37.5 million and $36.0 million of these receivables, respectively, remained uncollected, of which $2.8 million and $3.6 million at June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively, were subject to recourse provisions.

     The Company had a similar agreement with a bank to sell specific Japanese Yen-denominated receivables, subject to recourse provisions. At June 29, 2003 no sold Japanese Yen-denominated receivables were outstanding. At June 30, 2002, $2.0 million of these receivables sold to the bank remained uncollected, of which there were no amounts subject to recourse provisions.

Note 5: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

     The Company carries derivative financial instruments (derivatives) on the balance sheet at their fair values. The Company has acquired and holds derivative financial instruments to hedge a variety of risks and exposures including interest rate fluctuation risks associated with our long-term debt, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the value of expected cash flows from forecasted revenue transactions denominated in Japanese Yen and foreign currency denominated assets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated or that do not qualify as hedges under Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (FAS 133) are recognized in earnings immediately. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes.

     The Company’s policy is to attempt to minimize short-term business exposure to foreign exchange risks using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate or reduce such exposures. In Japan, the Company generally sells its systems, spare parts and services under contracts denominated in Japanese Yen. Therefore, in the normal course of business, the Company’s financial position is routinely subjected to market risk associated with foreign currency rate fluctuations. To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted Japanese Yen-denominated cash flows resulting from sales in Japanese Yen, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts that generally expired within 12 months, and no later than 24 months. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts, were designated as cash flow hedges and carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value with the effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings in the same period the hedged revenue is recognized.

     For the fiscal years ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the Company recognized net losses of $0.1 million and net gains of $2.2 million, respectively, for cash flow hedges that had been discontinued, because the original forecasted transactions did not or are not expected to occur. The losses and gains are recorded in other income (expense) in the respective June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Company recognized net losses of $0.1 million related to the time value excluded from the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness.

     The following table summarizes activity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to derivatives classified solely as cash flow hedges held by the Company:

                   
      June 29,   June 30,
      2003   2002
     
 
      (in thousands)
Deferred cash flow hedging gains, beginning of year
  $ 1,218     $ 4,937

Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments, net

Deferred cash flow hedging gains, end of year
  $ 293     $ 1,218  
 
   
     
 

     At June 29, 2003, the Company expects to reclassify the balance of deferred hedging gains and losses, net, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during the next 12 months due to the recognition in earnings of the hedged forecasted transactions.

     The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the gains and

65


Table of Contents

losses generated by the remeasurement of Japanese Yen-denominated intercompany receivables. Under FAS 133, these are not designated hedges. Therefore, the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded into earnings as a component of other income (expense) and offsets the change in fair value of the foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables.

     See Note 4 for a summary of the aggregate fair value of all outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

     The Company also has a policy to minimize, where possible and practical, the impact of interest rate exposure associated with its interest rate sensitive investments and debt obligations. To limit the impact relating to interest rate exposure associated with its fixed rate 4% Notes, the Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement (the swap) with a notional amount of $300.0 million. Under the terms of the swap, the Company exchanges the fixed interest payments on its 4% Notes for variable interest payments based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The swap is accounted for as a fair value hedge under the provisions of FAS 133. Fluctuations in the fair value of the 4% Notes, resulting from changes in the LIBOR interest rate sensitive component, are recorded in earnings, and offset by changes in the fair value of the swap, which are also recorded in earnings.

     As a result of designating the swap as a hedge of its 4% Notes, the carrying value of the 4% Notes is adjusted to reflect changes in fair value attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. For the fiscal years ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the carrying value of the 4% Notes included in long-term debt and other long-term liabilities increased by approximately $15.8 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively. Over the same 12 month periods, the fair value of the swap, included in long-term assets, increased by approximately $16.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, with the corresponding gains and losses for the twelve- month periods recorded in other income (expense). For the fiscal years ended June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002, the Company recognized net gains of $0.2 million and net losses of $0.3 million, respectively, in other income (expense) resulting from hedge ineffectiveness related to differences in changes in the fair value of the swap and changes in the fair value of the 4% Notes.

Note 6: Equity Derivative Contracts In Company Stock

     The Company’s equity derivatives included certain put and call options indexed to its own stock that were acquired in June 1999. Application of EITF 00-19, “Determination of Whether Share Settlement is Within the Control of the Issuer”, for the purposes of applying EITF Issue No. 96-13, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, required these previously purchased instruments to be recorded at their fair value at the end of each reporting period, commencing in June 2001, with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company’s equity derivatives were collateralized by restricted cash of $9.1 million and could not be settled in unregistered shares. They were classified as other short-term assets ($24.8 million), at the end of fiscal 2002.

     On August 23, 2002, the Company settled its outstanding equity derivative contracts by purchasing approximately 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $11.19 per share for a total cash payment of $39.1 million. By settling the equity derivative contracts, the Company was able to repurchase the shares recording a life to date gain of $8.4 million ($2.41 per share) from their then market value. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an increase in treasury stock of $47.6 million.

     Based on the $13.60 market price of the Company’s common stock at the contract settlement date (August 23, 2002), the fair value of the equity derivative contracts declined by $16.4 million

66


Table of Contents

to $8.4 million, from their June 30, 2002 fair value of $24.8 million. This $16.4 million reduction in the equity derivative contracts’ fair value was recorded as a non-taxable loss in other expense in the June 29, 2003 consolidated statements of operations.

Note 10: Intangible Assets

     Effective with the beginning of fiscal 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (FAS 142). FAS 142 requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually and written down only when determined to be impaired, replacing the previous

67


Table of Contents

accounting practice of ratably amortizing these items over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets other than goodwill that have a finite life continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company has no goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of purchased intellectual property rights and the licensed use of patents that are being amortized over their expected useful lives. Consequently, there was no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon the adoption of FAS 142. The Company performed an annual test for impairment of these assets during fiscal 2003 and as of June 29, 2003, no impairment has been recorded.

     The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of the following:

                                 
    June 29, 2003   June 30, 2002

     Total amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, was $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Intellectual property rights have an estimated useful life of 5 years and licenses have an estimated useful life of 2.5 years. The weighted-average amortization period of all intangible assets is approximately 4.0 years.

     Estimated future intangible asset amortization expense for the next five fiscal years, is as follows:

Other, in fiscal 2002 includes a long-term patent settlement obligation of approximately $12.5 million (See Note 25).

     The Company’s 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes matured on September 2, 2002 and were repaid in full.

     On January 28, 2003, the Company’s Japanese subsidiary repaid its ¥6.0 billion ($51.1 million at January 28, 2003) Japanese long-term loan in full.

     At June 29, 2003, obligations under debt financing consist primarily of our 4% Notes. Details of the 4% Notes are:

     
Offering Date   May 2001
     
Offering Amount   $300.0 million
     
Maturity Date   June 1, 2006
     
Offering Expenses   $8.5 million incurred at the time of offering, ratably amortized to other expense over the term of the 4% Notes. Remaining unamortized balance of $5.0 million and $6.7 million at June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
     
Interest Rate Terms   4% payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2001
     
Conversion Rights   Convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at any time prior to close of business on the maturity date, unless previously redeemed, at a conversion price of $44.93 per share subject to anti-dilution adjustments
     
Redemption Terms   Redeemable at the Company’s option, beginning June 5, 2004 with at least 20 days and no more than 60 days notice, at redemption prices starting at 101.0% and at diminishing prices

    thereafter, plus accrued interest
     
Security   4% Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment in full to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company

     The carrying value of the 4% Notes is adjusted to reflect changes in fair value attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate in connection with the Company’s fair value hedge accomplished through the swap transaction discussed in Note 5. At June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the carrying value of the 4% Notes was increased by $15.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively (to $319.3 million and $303.5 million, respectively), with the corresponding losses recorded in other income (expense), offset by recorded gains of $16.0 million and $3.2 million on the carrying value of the swap.

     Under the terms of the transaction, the Company must provide collateral to match any unfavorable mark-to-market exposure on the swap. The amount of collateral required totals a minimum of $6.0 million plus an amount equal to unfavorable the mark-to-market exposure on the swap. Therefore, the amount of cash collateral the Company will have to post in the future will fluctuate from quarter to quarter commensurate with the mark-to-market exposure on the swap instrument. Generally, the required collateral will rise as interest rates rise. At the end of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, the Company had $6.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, of collateral (reflected as restricted cash) recorded on the consolidated balance sheet related to this transaction.

Note 12: Stockholders’ Equity

     During fiscal 2003, the Company settled its equity derivative contracts by purchasing approximately 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a total cash payment of $39.1 million, which represented a discount from the market price of the stock of approximately $2.41 per share. During fiscal 2002, the Company repurchased 600,000 shares of its common stock for $10.7 million under a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors on September 30, 1998, authorizing management to acquire up to 6.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. During fiscal 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $45.1 million. At June 29, 2003, 476,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase under this program.

     During the quarter ended December 29, 2002, the Company recorded $3.4 million of deferred stock-based compensation in stockholders’ equity, which was offset by a corresponding entry in additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity, in connection with the modification of terms of a fixed stock option award previously issued to the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The

70


Table of Contents

modification extended the contractual life of the stock option for a period of three years and modified the vesting requirements. However, no changes were made to either the number of shares of the Company’s stock subject to the option, or the option’s exercise price. Accordingly, the modification resulted in the remeasurement of compensation expense based on the option’s intrinsic value on the date of modification in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 and FIN 44. The deferred compensation balance of $3.4 million is being amortized ratably over the vesting period of the modified options, or 16 quarters. Under the terms of this modification, if the Nasdaq National Market closing price of the Company’s common stock reaches or exceeds $20.00 per share, all unvested shares will immediately vest and become exercisable and all remaining deferred compensation will be immediately recognized as compensation expense. Total compensation expense recognized for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2003 was $593,000. Refer to Note 26 regarding an additional modification to the accelerated vesting provision of this stock option award subsequent to June 29, 2003.

Note 13: Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of basic net income (loss) per share for all periods presented is derived from the information on the face of the income statement, and there are no reconciling items in either the numerator or denominator.

     Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed as though all potential common shares that are dilutive were outstanding during the period. The following table provides a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted computations for net income (loss) per share.

(1)  For purposes of computing diluted net income per share, weighted-average potential common shares do not include outstanding warrants or stock options whose exercise prices exceed the average market value of the Company’s common stock for the period.

     Options, warrants and convertible securities were outstanding during fiscal 2003 and 2002, but approximately 10,395,000 and 24,715,000 potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share for fiscal 2003 and 2002 respectively, because the effect would have been antidilutive. For fiscal year 2001, diluted net income per share includes the

assumed exercise of employee stock options. The assumed conversion of the 4% and 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes into 11,192,000 shares was antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share in fiscal 2001.

Note 15: Stock Option Plans and Stock Purchase Plan

     The Company has adopted stock option plans that provide for the grant to key employees of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the plans permit the grant of nonstatutory stock options to paid consultants and employees, and provide for the automatic grant of nonstatutory stock options to outside directors. The option price is determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, the plan administrator, but in no event will it be less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant (no less than 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant in the case of nonstatutory options). Options granted under the plans vest over a period determined by the Board of Directors or the plan administrator. Under the automatic grant program, each outside director receives an option immediately exercisable for 12,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock during December of each year during which the outside director serves, with the exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

     The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1999 Stock Option Plan provide for the grant of non-qualified stock option awards to eligible employees, consultants and advisors, and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Initially, 9.0 million shares were reserved for issuance. The Board of Directors approved an additional 3.0 million shares, 9.0 million shares, and 500,000 shares, in fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001 respectively.

     The 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 1999 ESPP) allows employees to designate a portion of their base compensation to be used to purchase the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price per share of the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common

73


Table of Contents

Stock on the first or last day of the applicable offering period. Typically, each offering period lasts 12 months and comprises three interim purchase dates. During fiscal 2003, the Board approved an extension of the offering period to 16 months. The 1999 ESPP, approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on November 5, 1998, replaced the existing 1984 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 1984 ESPP). The Company has 9.0 million shares of Lam Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1999 ESPP: 3.0 million shares may be issued at any time and additional shares (up to 6.0 million total additional shares) may be issued for each share of the Company’s Common Stock which the Company redeems in public-market at private purchases and designated for this purpose.

     During fiscal 2003, 1,257,840 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were sold to employees under the 1999 ESPP. A total of 13,909,562 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued under the 1999 and 1984 ESPP Plans through June 29, 2003, at prices ranging from $0.09 to $31.84 per share. At June 29, 2003, 2,162,272 shares are available for purchase under all employee stock purchase plans.

     The Company’s Performance-Based Restricted Stock Plan (the RSP) was designed to reward executives based upon the achievement of certain predetermined goals. Grants are based on the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the end of the quarter, provided the predetermined goals are met. The Company authorized 450,000 shares to be reserved for issuance under the RSP. During fiscal 2000 the Board of Directors approved that 409,428 shares, the balance in the 1996 RSP, be made available for issuance as stock options. At June 29, 2003, 55,220 of these shares are available for issuance as stock options, and 15,687 shares are subject to repurchase.

Note 16: Profit Sharing and Benefit Plans

     Profit sharing is awarded to employees based upon performance against certain corporate financial and operating goals. Distributions to employees by the Company are made semi-annually based upon a percentage of base salary, provided that a threshold level of the Company’s financial and performance goals are met. In addition to profit sharing the Company has other bonus plans based on achievement of profitability and other specific performance criteria. Charges to expense under these plans were $8.8 million, $2.7 million, and $43.4 million during fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

     The Company maintains a 401(k)-retirement savings plan for its full-time employees in North America. Each participant in the plan may elect to contribute from 2% to 20% in fiscal 2003 and from 2% to 15% in fiscal 2002 and 2001 of his or her annual salary to the plan, subject to statutory limitations. The Company makes matching employee contributions in cash to the plan at the rate of 50% of the first 6% of salary contributed. Employees participating in the 401(k)-retirement savings plan are 100% vested in the Company matching contributions and investments are participant directed. The Company made matching contributions of approximately $3.1 million, $4.0 million, and $4.7 million in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Note 17: Commitments

Leases

     The Company leases most of its administrative, research and development (R&D) and manufacturing facilities, regional sales/service offices and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2021. All of the Company’s facility leases for buildings located at its Fremont, California headquarters and certain other facility leases provide the Company an option to extend the leases for additional periods. Additionally, certain of the Company’s facility leases provide for periodic rent increases based on the general rate of

     Total rent expense, net of sublease income, for all leases amounted to approximately $14.9 million, $19.7 million, and $31.2 million, for fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

     The Company has subleased some of its buildings and currently is entitled to receive income of approximately $2.1 million, $2.6 million, $2.0 million, and $0.8 million for the fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively.

     For the fiscal years ended June 29, 2003, June 30, 2002 and June 24, 2001, the Company received sublease payments totaling $2.8 million, $3.9 million, and $4.4 million, respectively, on its subleased facilities.

     In March 2003, a lease agreement (the Agreement) relating to two properties (land and buildings) at the Company’s Fremont, California campus was transferred to a new lessor and amended and restated. The Agreement replaces the former lease that was due to expire in March 2003. As part of the Agreement, the Company has the option to purchase the buildings at any time for approximately $54.4 million. In addition, the Company is required to guarantee the lessor a residual value on the property of up to $48.4 million at the end of the lease term in fiscal 2008 (in the case that the lease is not renewed, the Company does not exercise its purchase option, and the lessor sells the property and the sale price is less than the lessor’s cost), which is reflected in the above future minimum lease payment table. Additionally, as part of the lease agreement, the Company maintains cash collateral of $54.4 million as of June 29, 2003 in separate, specified interest-bearing accounts. The lessor under the Agreement is a substantive independent leasing company that does not have the characteristics of a VIE as defined by FIN 46, and is therefore not consolidated by the Company.

     In June 2003, two lease agreements relating to four properties (land and buildings) at the Company’s Fremont, California campus were transferred to a new lessor and amended and restated (the Lease Agreement). In connection with this transaction, the leases were combined and transferred from the existing lessors to a new lessor, under a single lease structure. At the time of the amendment, one of the leased property’s current fair value was less than its original cost by approximately $1.0 million. The leased property was a building that had been part of the Company’s past restructuring activities, and the loss was recorded as a restructuring charge during fiscal 2003. As a result, the Company recorded a $1.0 million liability for the loss on the leased property. As part of the Lease Agreement, the Company has the option to purchase the buildings at any time for approximately $58.0 million. In addition, the Lease Agreement requires the Company guarantee the lessor a residual value on the property of up to $50.3 million at the end of the lease term in fiscal 2008 (in the case that the lease is not renewed, the Company does not exercise its purchase option, and the lessor sells the property and the sale price is less than the lessor’s cost) which is reflected in the above future minimum lease payment table. Additionally, as part of the Lease Agreement, the Company maintains cash collateral of approximately $58.0 million in separate specified interest bearing accounts.

     During the second half of fiscal 2002, the Company began to enter into agreements with third parties to outsource certain elements of its manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, facilities maintenance, and information technology functions. During fiscal 2003, the Company continued to enter into agreements to outsource certain elements of its transactional and general and administrative functions. Actual expenditures will vary based on the volume of transactions and length of contractual service provided. In addition to minimum spending commitments, certain of these agreements provide for potential cancellation charges including the potential assumption of leases, assets and employees. In addition to the minimum spending commitments, these agreements provide for one-time transition charges of approximately $0.7 million in fiscal 2003, and $3.1 million in fiscal 2002. Transition charges are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

     The Company has certain guaranteed purchase agreements in place where the Company is contractually obligated to purchase a minimum amount of materials related to the manufacture of its products. At June 29, 2003, the Company’s outstanding guaranteed purchase agreements for these agreements was approximately $10.5 million.

     Consignment inventories, which are owned by vendors but located in the Company’s discrete storage locations and warehouses, are not reported as inventory until title is transferred to the Company or its purchase obligation is determined. At June 29, 2003, vendor owned inventories held at the Company and not reported as inventory were approximately $6.4 million.

Note 18: Guarantees

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires a company that is a guarantor to make specific disclosures about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN 45 also requires a company (the Guarantor) to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee.

     In March 2003 and June 2003, the Company transferred certain lease agreements relating to various properties at its Fremont, California campus to a new lessor (See Note 17). These agreements require the Company to guarantee residual values of the leased properties to the lessors at the end of the lease terms in fiscal 2008 (in the case that the leases are not renewed, the Company does not exercise the purchase options and the lessors sell the properties and the sale price is less than the lessors’ costs) of up to $98.7 million ($48.4 million and $50.3 million,

respectively). The terms of the guarantees, are equal to the remaining terms of the related lease agreements. Under the accounting provisions of FIN 45, the Company recognized a liability of approximately $1.0 million ($0.5 million in March 2003 and $0.5 million in June 2003) for the related residual value guarantees under the leases. The value of these guarantees was determined by computing the estimated present value of the respective probability-weighted cash flows that might be expended under the guarantees over the respective leases’ term, discounted using the Company’s risk adjusted borrowing rate of approximately 2%. The values of these respective guarantees have been recorded as prepaid rent, with the offset recorded as a liability, and the amounts are being amortized to income (for the liability) and to expense (for the prepaid rent) on a ratable basis over the five-year period of the leases.

     The Company has issued certain indemnifications to its lessors under certain of its operating lease agreements, such as, indemnification for certain environmental matters. The Company has entered into certain insurance contracts to minimize its exposure related to such indemnifications. As of June 29, 2003 the Company has not recorded any liability on its financial statements in connection with these indemnifications, as the Company does not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     The Company has agreements with two financial institutions that guarantee payment of its Japanese subsidiary’s overdraft protection obligation. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements at June 29, 2003, is approximately $5.2 million, the amount available under the overdraft protection agreement. As of June 29, 2003, the Company’s Japanese subsidiary did not owe any amounts under this agreement. The Company has not recorded any liability in connection with these guarantees, as the Company does not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     The Company has an agreement with a financial institution to sell to the institution certain U.S. Dollar-denominated receivables generated from the sale of its systems, subject to recourse provisions. The Company insures these sold receivables for approximately 90% of their value and guarantees payment of the remaining uninsured receivable value in the event that the payment obligation is not satisfied. Based on historical payment patterns, the Company has experienced negligible default on payment obligations and therefore, believes the risk of loss from default is minimal. The terms of these guarantees are from 90 days past the due date of the receivable, until collected. At June 29, 2003 the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this agreement is approximately $2.8 million. As of June 29, 2003, the Company has not recorded any liability in connection with these guarantees, as the Company does not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     Generally, the Company indemnifies, under pre-determined conditions and limitations, its customers for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights by its products or services. The Company seeks to limit its liability for such indemnity to an amount not to exceed the sales price of the products or services. The Company does not believe, based on information available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be paid under these guarantees.

     The Company provides standard warranties on its systems that run generally for a period of 12 months from system acceptance, not to exceed 14 months from the date of shipment of the system to the customer. The liability amount is based on actual historical warranty spending activity by type of system, customer, and geographic region, modified for any known differences such as the impact of system reliability improvements.

     Approximately $23.9 million and $24.9 million of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, for fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, are attributable to stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be credited to equity when realized. The change (increase/(decrease)) in valuation allowance year over year was ($15.6) million, $21.0 million, and ($63.5) million for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively

     Realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income. The Company believes it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized; however, ultimate realization could be negatively impacted by market conditions and other variables not known or anticipated at this time.

     At June 29, 2003, the Company has federal tax loss carryforwards of approximately $262.0 million, which will expire in varying amounts between 2019 and 2023. The Company also has federal and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $81.6 million, of which approximately $67.4 million of credits, will expire in varying amounts between 2005 and 2023. The remaining balance of $14.2 million of credit carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely. A valuation allowance of approximately $12.8 million in 2003 and $27.3 million in 2002 is attributable to the portion of the deferred tax assets related to the carryforwards.

     A reconciliation of income tax provision (benefit) provided at the federal statutory rate (35% in 2003, 2002 and 2001) to actual income tax provision (benefit) follows:

     Income before income taxes from foreign operations for fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $(69.5) million, $(3.7) million, and $18.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Company received royalty and other income from foreign sources of $4.9 million, $0.3 million, and $0.9 million, in fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, which is subject to foreign tax withholding.

     In April 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) closed its examination of the Company’s tax returns for fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. Resolution was reached on a number of issues including adjustments related to research and development tax credits, resulting in a reported approximate $24.9 million tax benefit. In addition, tax expense of approximately $17.0 million associated with implementing strategies to, in the longer-term, limit the Company’s tax liability on the sale of the Company’s products worldwide, was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. These tax strategies are structured to align the asset ownership and functions of the Company’s various legal entities around the world with the Company’s expectations of the level, timing, and sources of future revenues and profits.

Note 20: Segment, Geographic Information and Major Customers

     The Company operates in one business segment: manufacturing and servicing of front-end wafer processing semiconductor manufacturing equipment. All products and services are marketed within the geographic regions in which the Company operates. The Company’s current product offerings qualify for aggregation under Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” as its products are manufactured and distributed in the same manner, have similar long-term gross margins and are sold to the same customer base.

     The Company operates in four geographic regions: the United States, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Japan. The following table allocates sales based on the region where products are manufactured or services performed, irrespective of where such products or services are sold for fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001:

Note 21: Restructuring

Fiscal 2003 Restructuring Activities

81


Table of Contents

     The Company has developed programs and incurred restructuring charges in response to the depressed levels of capital investment by the semiconductor industry. This situation has caused the Company to evaluate its revenue outlook and forecasts, employment levels, facilities utilization and outsourcing activities, and the impact on manufacturing and administrative facilities. Based on these evaluations, senior management of the Company committed to cost reduction and exit activities in the quarters ended June 29, 2003 (the June 2003 Plan), March 30, 2003 (the March 2003 Plan), and December 29, 2002 (the December 2002 Plan). Prior to the end of the June 29, 2003, March 30, 2003, and December 29, 2002 quarters, management with the proper level of authority approved specific actions under the respective Plans and communicated the severance packages to potentially impacted employees in enough detail such that the employees could determine their type and amount of benefit. None of the severance payments were contingent on the employees’ future service to the Company and were immediately payable. The termination of the impacted employees occurred as soon as practical after the restructuring plans were announced. The amount of remaining future lease payments for facilities the Company ceased to use and included in the restructuring charges are based on management’s estimates using known prevailing real estate market conditions at that time. Leasehold improvements relating to the vacated buildings were written off, as these items will have no future economic benefit to the Company and have been abandoned.

     The Company applied the accounting provisions of FAS 146 to the fiscal 2003 restructuring activities as the Company early-adopted FAS 146 during the December 2002 quarter. Under the provisions of FAS 146, the restructuring charges for the remaining contractual lease payments, computed as the present value of remaining contractual payments less estimated sublease income on vacated facilities were recognized in the quarter in which the Company ceased to use the facility.

     During fiscal 2003, the Company incurred $14.9 million of restructuring charges, net, associated with its fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 restructuring plans. As of June 29, 2003, the remaining restructuring reserve consisted of approximately $11.0 million related to restructurings implemented during fiscal 2003 and approximately $8.3 million related to restructurings implemented during fiscal 2002.

June 2003 Plan

82


Table of Contents

     The Company began carrying out the announced restructuring activities prior to June 29, 2003, by reducing its workforce in North America, Europe, and Asia by approximately 30 people and by vacating selected sales and office facilities located in North America, Europe, and Asia determined to be no longer critical to the Company’s operations. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with the majority of the reductions in North America. The Company recorded a restructuring charge during the quarter ended June 29, 2003, of approximately $7.6 million, consisting of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, charges for the present value of remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, a loss on the fair value of a vacated facility and the write-off of related leasehold improvements. In June 2003, two lease agreements covering four properties were amended, combined, restated, and transferred to a new lessor under a single lease structure. One of the transferred leases covered one of the Company’s vacated facilities at its Fremont, California campus (See Note 17). At the time of the amendment, the leased facility’s fair value was less than its original cost by approximately $1.0 million. Accordingly, this amount was recorded as a loss on the fair value of the vacated facility and included in the $6.7 million facility-related restructuring charge.

     Below is a table summarizing activity relating to the June 2003 Plan:

The remainder of the reserve balance for Lease Payments on Vacated Facilities of $6.3 million as of June 29, 2003, is anticipated to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2008.

March 2003 Plan

     The Company began carrying out the announced restructuring activities prior to March 30, 2003, by reducing its workforce in North America and Europe by approximately 50 people and by vacating selected sales and office facilities located in North America determined to be no longer critical to the Company’s operations. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with the majority of the reductions in North America. The Company recorded a restructuring charge during the quarter ended March 30, 2003, of approximately $4.7 million, consisting of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, and the write-off of related leasehold improvements.

December 2002 Plan

     The Company began carrying out the announced restructuring activities prior to December 29, 2002 by reducing its workforce in North America, Europe, and Asia by approximately 120 employees and by vacating selected sales and office facilities located in North America, Europe and Asia determined to be no longer critical to the Company’s operations. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with approximately 65% from North America and approximately 35% from Asia and Europe locations. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $5.7 million, consisting of severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities, and the write-off of related leasehold improvements.

Fiscal 2002 Restructuring Activities

     In response to the deterioration in semiconductor sales in the first half of fiscal 2002 which resulted in a contraction in outlook for the wafer fabrication equipment market and therefore in the Company’s revenues, senior management of the Company committed to cost reduction and exit activities in the quarters ended December 30, 2001 (the December 2001 Plan) and September 23, 2001 (the September 2001 Plan). Prior to the end of the December 30, 2001 and September 23, 2001 quarters, management, with the proper level of authority, approved specific

actions of the respective Plans and communicated the severance packages to potentially impacted employees in enough detail such that the employees could determine their type and amount of benefit. The termination of the impacted employees occurred as soon as practical after the plans of restructuring were announced. Lease payments on vacated facilities are based on management’s estimates using prevailing real estate market conditions. The Company initially estimated under the plans that, given prevailing real estate market conditions at that time, it would take approximately 24 months to sublease its vacated facilities. The Company revised the original estimates for lease payments on vacated facilities if prevailing real estate market conditions were subsequently determined to be different than the initial estimate. Leasehold improvements and certain fixed assets relating to the vacated buildings were written off as these items have no future economic benefit to the Company and have been abandoned.

December 2001 Plan

     During the second fiscal quarter of 2002, the Company began implementing restructuring activities which included reducing its workforce by approximately 470 employees in North America, Europe, and Asia, vacating selected office and warehouse facilities at the Company’s Fremont, California campus determined to be no longer critical to the Company’s operations, and the closure of certain offices in Asia. The employees included in the Plan were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with approximately 80% from North America and approximately 20% from Asia and Europe locations. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $33.8 million relating to severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, charges for remaining lease payments on vacated facilities and the write-off of related leasehold improvements and fixed assets.

     During fiscal 2003, the Company recovered approximately $3.8 million of restructuring charges originally accrued under the December 2001 Plan, $2.1 million for benefits and services offered by the Company that were not utilized by the terminated employees and approximately $1.7 million related to a revision to the net amount of lease payments remaining to be paid on the vacated facilities. In addition, during fiscal 2003, the Company recorded approximately $3.0 million of additional restructuring charges of which $2.5 million was due to revisions the Company made for the length of time required to sublease two of its vacated buildings in Fremont, California and approximately $0.1 million due to additional facility restoration costs incurred to fulfill the Company’s contractual obligations under the terms of a lease agreement. Additionally, the Company revised its estimates related to employee termination costs and recorded $0.4 million of additional employee termination costs.

     Below is a table summarizing activity relating to the December 2001 Plan:

September 2001 Plan

     During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company began implementing restructuring activities which included a reduction of approximately 550 employees in North America, Europe and Asia, vacating selected facilities at the Company’s headquarters in Fremont, California determined to be no longer critical to the Company’s operations and discontinuance of the manufacture of specific products within the Company’s etch product lines. The employees were from a broad range of organizations and at multiple levels throughout the Company, with approximately 85% from North America and 15% from Asia and Europe locations. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $21.0 million which included severance and benefits for involuntarily terminated employees, charges for remaining lease payments and write-offs of leasehold improvements on vacated facilities, and write-offs for inventories of older etch product inventories that were discontinued. The discontinued inventory charges of approximately $7.6 million related to the Company’s decision to discontinue manufacture of specific products within the Company’s etch product lines. In fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company recovered approximately $1.7 million from unanticipated subsequent sales to the Company’s installed base of customers of certain portions of the inventory. In addition, in fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company physically disposed of approximately $2.7 million of this inventory. The Company plans to complete its disposition of the remaining quantities of the discontinued, obsolete inventory by the end of the 2003 calendar year.

     During fiscal 2002, the Company also recovered approximately $1.0 million of the September 2001 Plan charge due to lower than estimated employee termination costs of $0.7 million and lower than estimated expenses relating to a vacated facility lease of $0.3 million. During fiscal 2003, approximately $0.9 million was recovered due to $0.6 million of lower than previously estimated employee severance and termination costs and $0.3 million was recovered due to actual expenses being lower than estimated for vacated facility leases. In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded additional charges for the September 2001 Plan based on a revision of its estimate of the length of time required to sublease one of its vacated buildings in Fremont, California. Based on prevailing market conditions, the Company extended the accrual for lease payments to the end of the lease in June 2004 and recorded an additional $0.6 million relating to these remaining lease payments.

Fiscal 2001 Restructuring Activities

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the remaining elements of its restructuring activities under the June 2001 Plan. An additional $1.1 million of restructuring charges was recovered due to lower than estimated employee termination costs.

Note 22: Purchased Technology for R&D

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company made an equity investment in, and purchased a portfolio of CMP intellectual property rights and research and development technology from Strasbaugh. The Company recognized a one-time charge to income of $8.0 million for the purchase of in-process research and development technology and recorded a $6.0 million investment in preferred stock and intangible assets. The Company’s equity interest in Strasbaugh, representing approximately 20% of its total capital stock, is accounted for under the equity method, and the intellectual property rights are being amortized ratably over five years. Accumulated amortization as of the end of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

     Based on the Company’s analysis of Strasbaugh’s current and expected financial performance, the Company determined in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 that the carrying value of its equity investment had experienced an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded a $2.0 million charge in other expense to write down the investment to its estimated fair value.

     The Company’s equity in the income (loss) from Strasbaugh as of the end of fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 was ($0.8) million, ($0.8) million and $0.7 million, respectively. The income (loss) from the investment in Strasbaugh has not been material, and, therefore, has not been itemized in other income, net, on the accompanying statements of operations.

Note 23: Asset Impairment Charge

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company determined that the carrying value of

87


Table of Contents

certain of its laboratory and demonstration equipment exceeded its fair value less costs to sell. Fair value was assessed using the market values of similar used laboratory and demonstration equipment. Impairment occurred due to rapid technological changes. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $9.5 million. A $5.3 million write-down to fair value of certain laboratory tools was included in R&D expenses, and $4.2 million of write-downs to fair value of demonstration equipment were included in Selling General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses.

Note 24: Related Party Transactions

     During fiscal year 2001, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer signed a promissory note with the Company entitling him to borrow up to $1.0 million dollars from the Company at 6.75% simple interest. As of June 29, 2003, the entire principal amount, $1.0 million, and accrued interest were outstanding. The loan is secured by a mortgage on his personal residence and is repayable, in full, together with accrued interest, at any time, but no later than May 8, 2005.

Note 25: Litigation and Patent Settlement

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company signed a final settlement agreement with Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (Varian) in connection with the patent infringement litigation filed by Varian in October 1993. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Varian granted the Company nonexclusive license to the patents involved in the litigation. The Company agreed to pay Varian $20.0 million in cash, $5.0 million in December 2001, and the remainder to be paid in equal quarterly installments of $1.25 million over a three-year period. The payments began in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 with a quarterly payment of $1.25 million. As of June 29, 2003, a total amount of $12.5 million was paid to Varian, which included the initial $5.0 million in December 2001 and six additional quarterly installment payments of $1.25 million each, totaling $7.5 million as of June 29, 2003. The total obligation remaining as of June 29, 2003 is $7.5 million, which will be paid $1.25 million per quarter through the second quarter of fiscal 2005 (December 2004). Additionally, the Company issued a warrant with a fair value of $21.5 million that entitled Varian to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $21.30 per share. As part of the full and final settlement, Varian and the Company agreed to dismiss all pending claims and counterclaims relating to the litigation.

     In connection with the settlement, the Company recorded a charge of $38.8 million in the quarter ended December 30, 2001, which represents approximately 93% of the total value of the settlement. The remaining portion of the total value of the settlement relating to the future licensed use of the patents, $2.7 million, is being amortized ratably over 10 quarters. Accumulated amortization as of the end of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 was approximately $1.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

     The imputed value of the warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The key assumptions used in the valuation model were an expected life of 4 years, an expected stock price volatility of 61% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%.

     From time to time, the Company has received notices from third parties alleging infringement of such parties’ patent or other intellectual property rights by the Company’s products. In such cases it is the Company’s policy to defend the claims, or if considered appropriate, negotiate licenses on commercially reasonable terms. However, no assurance can be given that in the future the Company will be able to negotiate necessary licenses on commercially reasonable

terms, or at all, or that any litigation resulting from such claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, operating results or its consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 26: Subsequent Events (unaudited)

     During the quarter ending September 2003, the Company added a second condition to the accelerated vesting provision contained in one of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s stock option awards that was previously modified in the December 2002 quarter. When and if the vesting of the award is accelerated, all unvested shares shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable, and any remaining deferred compensation would then be recognized as compensation expense within SG&A. The award now provides for accelerated vesting when each of the following conditions is met: (1) the Nasdaq national market closing price of the Company’s Common Stock reaches or exceeds $20.00 per share and (2) applying U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company’s fiscal quarter net income exceeds $2.5 million after deducting any incremental amortization expense that results from acceleration of these same options. The two conditions need not be met simultaneously nor in a specific order.

The name of the registered agent of the corporation at such location is The Corporation Trust company. 1.2 OTHER OFFICES The board of directors may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business. ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS 2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the board of directors. In the absence of any such 1 designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation. 2.2 ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the board of directors. In the absence of such designation, the annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the second Thursday of November in each year at 2:00 p.m. However, if such day falls on a legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the next succeeding full business day. At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors may be made at any annual meeting of stockholders (a) by or at the direction of the board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.2 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.2. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that less than seventy (70) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not 2 later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the secretary must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (iv) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of such stockholder, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice and (v) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3 2.2. If the chairman of the meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.2 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedure set forth in this Section 2.2. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that less than seventy (70) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the secretary must set forth as to each matter such 4 stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2, provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted. 2.3 SPECIAL MEETING Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation, special meetings of the stockholders may only be called by the chairman of the board, by the president or at the request in writing of a majority of the board of directors. Special meetings of stockholders of the corporation may not be called by any other person or persons. If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the board of directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting 5 and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president or the secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5, and that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons who called the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the board of directors may be held. 2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS All notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, date, and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. 2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. 6 2.6 QUORUM The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairman of the meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. 2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. 2.8 VOTING The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements). 7 Except as set forth in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 2.8 or otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder represented at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder. The board of directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the corporation presiding at a meeting of stockholders, in his discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot. At the election of directors of the corporation, each holder of stock or of any class or classes or of a series or series thereof shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of which (except for such provision as to cumulative voting) he would be entitled to cast for the election of directors with respect to his shares of stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by him, and he may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number for, or for any two or more of them as he may see fit; provided, however, that no stockholder shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder's votes unless the candidates for which such stockholder is voting have been placed in nomination in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Article II and a stockholder has given timely notice of an intention to cumulate votes. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than seventy (70) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. If any one stockholder has given proper notice of an intention to cumulate votes pursuant to this Section 2.8, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for candidates properly in nomination. 8 When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of the question. 2.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. 2.10 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by this chapter to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. 9 Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the General Corporation Law of Delaware if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the secretary, request the board of directors to fix a record date. The board of directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, to the attention of the secretary of the corporation. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has 10 been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. In the event of the delivery to the corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to authorize or take corporate action and/or related revocations (each such written consent and any revocation thereof is referred to in this Section 2.10 as a "Consent"), the secretary of the corporation shall provide for the safekeeping of such Consents and shall as soon as practicable thereafter conduct such reasonable investigation as he deems necessary or appropriate for the purpose of ascertaining the validity of such Consents and all matters incident thereto, including, without limitation, whether the holders of shares having the requisite voting power to authorize or take the action specified in the Consents have given consents. No consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be effective unless delivered to the corporation within sixty (60) days following the record date relating thereto fixed pursuant to this Section 2.10. 2.11 RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall be not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. 11 If the board of directors does not so fix a record date: (i) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. (ii) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. 2.12 PROXIES Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by a written proxy, signed by the stockholder and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(c) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. 2.13 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete 12 list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. 2.14 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedures at the meeting, including such matters as the regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS 3.1 POWERS Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors. 13 3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS The number of directors of the corporation shall be not less than four (4) nor more than (7). The exact number of directors shall be six (6). No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director's term of office expires. 3.3 ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold. office until the next annual meeting. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may be prescribed. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot. 3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the corporation. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling of other vacancies. A vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote or written consent of the stockholders or by a court order may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is 14 present, or by the unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote thereon.

Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Master Lease have the respective meanings specified in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement; and the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Master Lease. ARTICLE II MASTER LEASE Section 2.1. Acceptance and Lease of Property. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Participation Agreement, including without limitation the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI thereof, the Lessor hereby agrees to accept, pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, delivery on each Acquisition Date of a Property from one or more third parties designated by the Lessee and simultaneously to demise and lease to the Lessee hereunder and under the relevant Lease Supplement for the Lease Term, the Lessor's interest in such Property and the Lessee hereby agrees, expressly for the direct benefit of the Lessor, to lease from the Lessor for the Lease Term the interest of the Lessor in such Property identified in the applicable Lease Supplement. Section 2.2. Acceptance Procedure. The Lessee hereby agrees that the execution and delivery by it of a Lease Supplement on or as of each Acquisition Date shall, without further act, constitute the irrevocable acceptance by the Lessee of the Property set forth in such Lease Supplement for all purposes of this Master Lease and the other Operative Documents on the terms set forth therein and herein, and that such Property shall be deemed to be included in the leasehold estate of this Master Lease and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Lease as of the Acquisition Date thereof. Section 2.3. Lease Term. The Lease Term of this Master Lease for each Property shall commence on (and include) the Acquisition Date of such Property and end on (but exclude) the Expiration Date. Section 2.4. Title. Each Property is leased to the Lessee without any representation or warranty, express or implied, by the Lessor and subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title (including, without limitation, all Liens) and all applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) Neither the Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of all or any portion of any Property when delivered by the Lessor, nor the inability or failure of the Lessor to deliver all or any portion of any Property to the Lessee on the Acquisition Date therefor, whether or not attributable to any act or omission of the Lessee or any act or omission of the Lessor, or for any other reason whatsoever, shall delay or otherwise affect the Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for such Property in accordance with the terms of this Master Lease.

The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for the period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due for the period from the due date until the same shall be paid. The expiration or other termination of the Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of the Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Master Lease or in the Participation Agreement, in the event of any failure on the part of the Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as and when due, the Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge, to the extent incurred as a result of such failure on the part of the Lessee, any fine, penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added against any Participant by a third party for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.

Such right of quiet enjoyment is independent of, and shall not affect the rights of the Lessor or any assignee thereof otherwise to initiate legal action to enforce, the obligations of the Lessee under this Master Lease. Section 4.2. Right to Inspect. During the Lease Term, the Lessee shall upon reasonable notice (except that no notice shall be required if a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and from time to time, permit the Administrative Agent, any Participant, and their respective authorized representatives to inspect any Property subject to this Master Lease during normal business hours, and the Lessee will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Participant, make available to such Person the books and records of the Lessee relating to such Property; provided that all such inspections shall be at the sole expense of the Administrative Agent or such Participant, as the case may be, unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, in which case such inspection shall be at the sole expense of the Lessee.

The Lessee shall remain obligated under this Master Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Master Lease (except as provided herein), notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding affecting any Participant, or any action with respect to this Master Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of any Participant or by any court with respect to any Participant.

Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Lessor may, so long as such Lease Event of Default is continuing, do one or more of the following (and in such order) as the Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, without limiting any other right or remedy the Lessor may have on account of such Lease Event of Default (including, without limitation, the obligation of the Lessee to purchase all of the Properties as set forth in Section 18.3): (a) The Lessor may (i) declare the entire outstanding Lease Balance to be due and payable together with accrued unpaid Rent and any other amounts payable under the Operative Documents, (ii) declare the Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the same shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Participant to make Advances shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all interest and Yield thereon and all other amounts payable under the Operative Documents shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Lessee or (iii) make demand upon the Lessee; (b) The Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, rescind or terminate this Master Lease as of the date specified in such notice; provided, however, (i) no reletting, reentry or taking of possession of any Property (or any portion thereof) by the Lessor (or its agents) will be construed as an election on the Lessor's part to terminate this Master Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to the Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding -20- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease any reletting, reentry or taking of possession, the Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Master Lease for a continuing Lease Event of Default and (iii) no act or thing done by the Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a surrender of any Property shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and executed by the Lessor; (c) The Lessor may (i) demand that the Lessee, and the Lessee shall upon the written demand of the Lessor, return all of the Properties promptly to the Lessor in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions of, Articles VII and IX and Section 8.3 hereof as if the Properties were being returned at the end of the Lease Term, and the Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in connection therewith, and (ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor may have for possession of the Properties, and to the extent and in the manner permitted by Applicable Law, enter upon the Property and take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Properties or any part thereof and expel or remove the Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying any Property, by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to the Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to the other damages of the Lessor, the Lessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in connection with any reletting, including, without limitation, reasonable brokers' fees and all costs of any alterations or repairs required to be made by the Lessor so that the Properties achieve the standard of condition required by this Master Lease; (d) As more fully set forth in Section 16.4 hereof and in each Lease Supplement (and consistent with the intent of the parties as detailed in Article XXV hereof), the Lessor may exercise all remedies available to a mortgagee, secured party, beneficiary or trustee under law or equity, including, to the extent permitted by law, the right to sell all or any part of the Properties at public or private sale, as the Lessor may determine; (e) The Lessor may, at its option, elect not to terminate this Master Lease and continue to collect all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, and all other amounts due to the Lessor (together with all costs of collection) and enforce the Lessee's obligations under this Master Lease as and when the same become due, or are to be performed, and at the option of the Lessor, upon any abandonment of any Property by the Lessee or re-entry of same by the Lessor, the Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to terminate this Master Lease and may make the necessary repairs in order to relet any Property, and relet such Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Lease Term of this Master Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as the Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable; and upon each such reletting, all rentals actually received by the Lessor from such reletting shall be applied to the Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents in the manner provided in Section 7.6(a) or (c), as applicable, of the Participation Agreement. If such rentals received from such reletting -21- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease during any period are less than the Rent to be paid during that period by the Lessee hereunder, the Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as calculated by the Lessor, to the Administrative Agent on the next Scheduled Payment Date; (f) Unless all of the Properties have been sold in their entirety, the Lessor may, whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at any time exercise any of its rights under clause (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 16.2 with respect to any or all of the Properties or any portions thereof, demand, by written notice to the Lessee specifying a date not earlier than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice, that the Lessee purchase, on the date specified in such notice, all of the unsold Properties in accordance with the provisions of Article XXI and Section 18.2; (g) The Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Law, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the Lessor's rights to collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), or the Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term; (h) The Lessor may retain and apply against the Lease Balance all sums which the Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Master Lease; or (i) The Lessor, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, as a matter of right and without notice to the Lessee, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of any part of each Property, and the Lessee hereby irrevocably consents to any such appointment. Any such receivers shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all of the powers and duties of the Lessor in case of entry, and shall continue as such and exercise such powers until the date of confirmation of the sale of the applicable Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated. The Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the other Operative Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this instrument nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Lessor's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Lessor, it being agreed that the Lessor shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security now or hereafter held by the Lessor in such order and manner as the Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other -22- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Operative Documents to the Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor. In no event shall the Lessor, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this instrument (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of rents to the Lessor, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver onto all or any part of the Properties), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and the Lessor shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies. If requested by the Lessor in connection with the exercise of its remedies pursuant to this Section 16.2, the Lessee hereby agrees to enter into an operating agreement with respect to the Properties in connection therewith to serve as the operator of the Properties on market terms established in good faith and reasonably acceptable to the Lessor. Section 16.3. Waiver of Certain Rights. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Lessee hereby waives the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale of any Property or any interest therein and (b) if this Master Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 16.2, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (ii) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect to the election of remedies; and (iv) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XVI. Section 16.4. Deed of Trust Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth in this Master Lease, and also, without limiting the generality of Article XXV hereof, the Lessor may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for a foreclosure hereunder or under the Lease Supplements, or (to the extent permitted by law) for the sale of each Property, pursuant to a power of sale, or against the Lessee on a recourse basis for the Lease Balance, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in aid of the execution of any power granted herein, or for the appointment of a receiver pending any foreclosure hereunder (or under the Lease Supplements) or the sale of any Property, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy. The Lessor shall have all rights available to a beneficiary under a deed of trust or a secured party under the laws of the state where the relevant Property is located, including, without limitation, all rights granted under the specific statutes referenced in each Lease Supplement, if any (each such statute, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as a "Mortgage Foreclosure Act"). In the event that any provisions of this Master Lease shall be inconsistent with any Mortgage Foreclosure Act, the provisions of such Mortgage Foreclosure Act shall take precedence over such provision of this Master Lease, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Master Lease that can be construed in a manner consistent with such Mortgage Foreclosure Act. If any provision of this Master Lease shall grant the Lessor any rights or remedies upon default of the Lessee which are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be vested in the Lessor under such Mortgage Foreclosure Act in the absence of such provision, the Lessor shall be vested with the rights -23- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease granted in such Mortgage Foreclosure Act to the full extent permitted by law. The Lessee agrees that the agreements of the Lessee herein contained shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy and that for the purpose of any suit brought under this subparagraph, the Lessee hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations. In the event of foreclosure, the Lessee authorizes and empowers the Lessor to effect insurance upon the Properties in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies required to be maintained under this Master Lease. Section 16.5. Excess Proceeds; Return of Properties. If, pursuant to the exercise by the Lessor of its remedies pursuant to Section 16.2 or 16.4, the Lessor shall have received an amount equal to the Lease Balance, then the Lessor shall promptly remit to the Lessee any excess amounts received by the Lessor and, at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, transfer to the Lessee (or its designee) all of the Lessor's remaining right, title and interest (if any) in the Properties in accordance with Section 21.1. ARTICLE XVII LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE Section 17.1. The Lessor's Right to Cure the Lessee's Lease Defaults. The Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Lease Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Lease Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, including the failure by the Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Article XIII, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of the Lessee, enter upon any Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of the Lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by the Lessor, shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor as Supplemental Rent. ARTICLE XVIII PURCHASE PROVISIONS Section 18.1. Purchase of Properties. Subject to the conditions contained herein, and without limitation of the Lessee's purchase obligation pursuant to Section 18.2 or 18.3, the Lessee shall have the irrevocable option on any Scheduled Payment Date during the Lease Term to purchase all, but not less than all (except as set forth in Section 15.14 of the Participation Agreement), of the Properties subject to this Master Lease (the "Purchase Option") at a price equal to the aggregate Lease Balance (or, in the case of the Partial Purchase Option under Section 15.14 of the Participation Agreement, the Property Balance with respect to any such Property) on the date of such purchase (as the case may be, the "Purchase Option Price"). The -24- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease Lessee's exercise of its option pursuant to this Section 18.1 shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the Lessee shall have delivered a Purchase Notice to the Lessor and the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to such purchase, specifying the date of such purchase (and, if the purchase is for less than all of the Properties, specify the Property subject to such purchase); and (ii) the Lessee shall not have delivered (or, if delivered, shall not have failed to rescind) a written notice of the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option pursuant to Section 20.1(a). If the Lessee exercises its option pursuant to this Section 18.1 then, upon the Administrative Agent's receipt of all amounts due in connection therewith, the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee or its designees all of the Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Properties in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 21.1(a), such transfer to be effective as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor and the Administrative Agent not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided, however, that such designation of a transferee or transferees shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under this Master Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay to the Lessor the Lease Balance on the date specified in the Purchase Notice. Section 18.2. Expiration Date Purchase Obligation. Unless (a) the Lessee shall have properly exercised its option pursuant to Section 18.1 and purchased all of the Properties pursuant thereto, or (b) the Lessee shall have properly exercised the Remarketing Option and shall have fulfilled all of the requirements of Article XX, then, subject to the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this Article, and in accordance with the terms of Section 21.1(a), the Lessee (or its designee) shall purchase from the Lessor, and the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee (or its designee), on the Expiration Date all of the interest of the Lessor in all of the Properties for an amount equal to the Lease Balance. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor and the Administrative Agent not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided, however, that such designation of a transferee or transferees shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under this Master Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Lessor the Lease Balance on such Expiration Date. Section 18.3. Acceleration of Purchase Obligation. The Lessee shall be obligated to purchase for an amount equal to the Lease Balance all of the interest of the Lessor in all of the Properties (notwithstanding any prior election to exercise its Purchase Option pursuant to Section 18.1) automatically and without notice upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of -25- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease Default described in clause (i) of Section 16.1. Any purchase under this Section 18.3 shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 21.1(a). Section 18.4. Failure to Elect Options. IN THE EVENT THE LESSEE FAILS TO ELECT AN OPTION WITH RESPECT TO A PROPERTY UNDER SECTION 18.1 OR 20.1 AT LEAST 180 DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE LEASE TERM THEN IN EFFECT, THE LESSEE WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ELECTED TO PURCHASE SUCH PROPERTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 18.2. ARTICLE XIX [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] ARTICLE XX REMARKETING OPTION Section 20.1. Option to Remarket. Subject to the fulfillment of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 20.1 and Section 20.2 (collectively, the "Return Conditions"), the Lessee shall have the option (the "Remarketing Option") to remarket and complete the sale of all, but not less than all, of the Properties for the Lessor. The Lessee's effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing Option shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following provisions and the provisions of Section 20.2 as of the dates set forth below: (a) On the date not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor and the Administrative Agent written notice of the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option. (b) Not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Environmental Audit for each Property. Each Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an environmental consultant selected by the Lessor in the Lessor's discretion and shall contain conclusions satisfactory to the Lessor as to the environmental status of such Property. If any such Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions calling for a Phase Two environmental assessment, the Lessee shall have also delivered prior to the Expiration Date a Phase Two environmental assessment by such environmental consultant and a written statement by such environmental consultant indicating that all such exceptions have been remedied in compliance with Applicable Law. (c) On the date of the Lessee's notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option, no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default shall exist, and, thereafter, no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default shall occur. -26- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease (d) The Lessee shall have completed all Modifications, restoration and rebuilding of each Property pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 14.2 (as the case may be) and shall have fulfilled all of the conditions and requirements in connection therewith pursuant to such Sections, in each case prior to the date on which the Lessor receives the Lessee's notice of the Lessee's intention to exercise the Remarketing Option (time being of the essence), regardless of whether the same shall be within the Lessee's control. The Lessee shall have also paid the cost of all Modifications commenced prior to the Expiration Date. The Lessee shall not have been excused pursuant to Section 12.1 from complying with any Applicable Law that involved the extension of the ultimate imposition of such Applicable Law beyond the Expiration Date. Any Permitted Property Liens (other than Lessor Liens) on each Property that were contested by the Lessee shall have been removed and the Lessor shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that all Liens (other than Lessor Liens and uncontested Permitted Property Liens of the type described in clauses (i), (vii), (ix) and (x) of the definition thereof) have been removed. Section 20.2. Procedures During Remarketing. (a) During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive agent for the Lessor, use its best efforts to sell the interest of the Lessor in each Property for which the Remarketing Option has been exercised and will attempt to obtain the highest purchase price therefor and for not less than the Fair Market Sales Value. The Lessee will be responsible for hiring brokers (if the Lessee so elects) and making each Property available for inspection by prospective purchasers. The Lessee shall promptly upon request permit inspection of each Property and any maintenance records relating to each Property by the Lessor, any Participant and any potential purchasers, and the Lessee shall otherwise do all things necessary to sell and deliver possession of each Property to any purchaser. All such marketing of the Properties shall be at the Lessee's sole expense. (b) The Lessee shall use best efforts to procure written bids from one or more bona fide prospective purchasers. No such purchaser shall be the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof. Each written offer must specify the Expiration Date as the closing date. The Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale. (c) The Lessee shall submit all bids to the Lessor promptly upon receipt, and the Lessor will have the right to submit any one or more bids. Any sale by the Lessee shall be for the highest cash bid submitted to the Lessor. The Lessor shall determine the highest bid prior to the end of the Marketing Period, but in any event, the Lessor shall have no obligation to approve any bid for any Property unless the highest bid for such Property equals or exceeds the Property Cost for such Property plus all Permitted Sales Costs therefor. All bids shall be on an all-cash basis. (d) In connection with any such sale of any Property, the Lessee will provide to the purchaser all customary "seller's" indemnities (including, without limitation, an environmental indemnity to the extent the same are required by the purchaser) and representations and warranties regarding title, absence of Liens (other than Permitted Property Liens of the type described in clause (i), (vii), (viii) or (x) of the definition thereof) and the condition of such Property. The Lessee shall have obtained, at its cost and expense, all required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by Applicable Law in order to carry out and complete the transfer of such Property. As to the Lessor, any such sale -27- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease shall be made on an "as is, with all faults" basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor other than the absence of Lessor Liens attributable to the Lessor. (e) Subject to the reimbursement obligations set forth in clause (h) below, the Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds, all prorations, credits, costs and expenses of the sale of each Property, whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including, without limitation, the cost of all title insurance, surveys, environmental reports, appraisals, transfer taxes, the attorneys' fees of the Lessor, the Lessee's attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all applicable documentary and other transfer taxes. (f) The Lessee shall pay to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date (or in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Person entitled thereto) an amount equal to the Maximum Recourse Amount for each Property plus all accrued and unpaid Rent (including Supplemental Rent, if any) for each Property and all other amounts hereunder which have accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the Expiration Date with respect to each Property, in the type of funds specified in Section 3.4 hereof. (g) The Lessee shall pay to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Participation Agreement. (h) The sale of each Property shall be consummated on the Expiration Date and the gross proceeds (the "Gross Remarketing Proceeds") of the sale of each Property (less any marketing, closing or other costs, prorations or commissions incurred by the Lessor) shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent. If the sale of any Property is consummated during the Marketing Period, then, upon the Administrative Agent's timely receipt of the Gross Remarketing Proceeds thereof and all other amounts due to the Administrative Agent, the Lessor and the Participants under this Master Lease and the other Operative Documents (including all amounts due pursuant to clause (f) above and Article XIII of the Participation Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall apply such Gross Remarketing Proceeds, first, to the payment of Permitted Sales Costs, and second, as set forth in Section 7.4 of the Participation Agreement. If the Gross Remarketing Proceeds from such sale (if any) of a Property exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate Property Balance for such Property being sold as of such date minus the Maximum Recourse Amount, and other amounts paid to Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (f) above for such Property plus (ii) all Permitted Sales Costs with respect to such Property, then the excess shall be paid to the Lessee on the Expiration Date. (i) Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right, power or authority to bind the Lessor or any Participant in connection with any proposed sale of any Property. (j) During the Marketing Period, the obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent (including the installment of Rent due on the Expiration Date) shall continue undiminished until payment in full of the Lease Balance and all other amounts due to the Participants under the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is a party. -28- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease Section 20.3. Remedies for Failed Remarketing. If the Lessee effectively elects the Remarketing Option with respect to any Property and each of the conditions and requirements in Sections 20.1 and 20.2 shall have been satisfied, but nevertheless the Lessee is unable to obtain bids satisfactory to the Lessor, and the sale of a Property is not consummated prior to the end of the Marketing Period, the Lessor shall by written notice to the Lessee choose one or both of the following remedies (which election may be changed at any time): (a) Continue Remarketing Efforts. At the request of the Lessor, the Lessee shall continue to market such Property on behalf of the Lessor for up to an additional six (6) months and at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee (subject to Section 20.2(h) above), and during such extended marketing period continue to comply with the requirements of Articles IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV and XX at the Lessee's sole cost and expense. The Lessor shall by written notice to the Lessee indicate the duration of such extended marketing period (the last day of such period, the "Extended Expiration Date"), and the Lessor shall have the option to accelerate or shorten such Extended Expiration Date at any time. If such Property shall not have been sold prior to the Extended Expiration Date, the Lessor can then elect the remedies available under Section 20.3(b) hereof with respect to such unsold Property. (b) Return. Demand that such unsold Property be returned to the Lessor, whereupon the Lessee shall do each of the following at its own cost and expense: (i) pay the Maximum Recourse Amount, execute and deliver to the Lessor and the Lessor's title insurance company an affidavit as to the absence of any Liens (other than Permitted Property Liens of the type described in clause (i), (vii), (viii) or (x) of the definition thereof), and execute and deliver to the Lessor a statement of termination of this Master Lease to the extent relating to such Property; (ii) transfer possession of such Property to the Lessor or any Person designated by the Lessor, by surrendering the same into the possession of the Lessor or such Person, as the case may be, in the condition required by this Master Lease and in compliance with Applicable Law; and (iii) cooperate fully with the Lessor and/or any Person designated by the Lessor to receive such Property, which cooperation shall include: if requested by the Lessor, subject to the good faith mutual agreement of the Lessor and the Lessee, the entering into a property management agreement with respect to such Property and in connection therewith serving as the property manager of such Property on market terms established in good faith and reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, providing copies of all books and records regarding the maintenance and ownership of such Property and all non-proprietary data and technical information relating thereto, providing a current copy of the applicable Plans and Specifications, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, granting or assigning all assignable licenses necessary for the operation and maintenance of such Property and the seeking and obtaining of all necessary Governmental -29- Lam Research Corporation Amended and Restated Master Lease Action. The obligations of the Lessee under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Master Lease. Section 20.4. No Sale of Property. If the Lessee effectively elects the Remarketing Option with respect to the Properties and each of the conditions and requirements in Sections 20.1 and 20.2 shall have been satisfied, but nevertheless the Lessee is unable to obtain a bid at least equal to the Property Balance during the Remarketing Period or any extension thereof pursuant to Section 20.3(a) and the Properties are not sold (due either to the Lessor's rejection of any bids or the failure to obtain any bids), there shall not be deemed to be a Lease Event of Default by virtue of such failure to sell the Properties and the Lessee shall only be obligated to make the payments referred to in Sections 20.2(e), (f) and (g) hereof. Section 20.5. Return of Excess Amounts. If, in connection with an effective election of the Remarketing Option, the Lessee pays the Maximum Recourse Amount and relinquishes its interest in the Properties, in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the other Operative Documents, as applicable, and, at any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall have received as of any date of determination (whether through the Lessee's payment of such Maximum Recourse Amount, as the case may be, or through the sale or reletting of the Properties to a third party) an amount exceeding the sum of the following: (i) the Property Balance of each Property on the date of such determination, (ii) if such date of determination occurs after the Expiration Date, an Imputed Return on each Participant's outstanding Loans or Lessor Amounts made with respect to each Property, during the period from the Expiration Date to such date of determination, (iii) all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal costs and attorneys' fees) of each of the Participants and the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with each Property (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any reletting or sale of each Property or any portion thereof) and (iv) all other amounts owing to each of the Participants and the Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents, to the extent relating to each Property or allocable to each Property, then the Administrative Agent (or, as the case may be, the Lessor) shall pay such excess over to the Lessee.

Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth herein, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that each of the Master Lease and this Lease Supplement constitutes a deed of trust or other secured financing with respect to the Subject Property as is the intent of the parties pursuant to Article XXV of the Master Lease, then the Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon a Lease Event of Default, the Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to the Trustee of written declaration of default -5- and demand for the sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold the Subject Property which notice the Trustee shall cause to be filed for record to the extent required by law. The Beneficiary also shall deposit with the Trustee the Lease Supplement and all documents evidencing the Lease Balance and expenditures secured hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, the Trustee, without demand on the Lessee, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. The Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement.

Any person, including the Lessee, the Trustee, or the Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.

After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of the Trustee and of this trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, the Trustee shall apply to proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. In the event of foreclosure, the Lessee authorizes and empowers the Trustee or the Beneficiary to effect insurance upon the Subject Property in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat to the fullest extent permitted by law any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by Section 9604 or any other applicable section of the California Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real and personal property or fixtures whether or not such personal property is located on or within the real property, the Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property, personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, elect to proceed against any or all of the real property, personal property and -6- fixtures in any manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1) of the California Commercial Code; and if the Beneficiary elects to proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1)(B) of the California Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures covered hereby, as designated by the Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real property.

provided however that, without limiting the foregoing, the Mortgaged Property shall not include any inventory of the Lessee. 6. Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth herein, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that each of the Master Lease and this Lease Supplement constitutes a deed of trust or other secured financing with respect to the Subject Property as is the intent of the parties pursuant to Article XXV of the Master Lease, then the Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon a Lease Event of Default, the Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to the Trustee of written declaration of default -5- and demand for the sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold the Subject Property which notice the Trustee shall cause to be filed for record to the extent required by law. The Beneficiary also shall deposit with the Trustee the Lease Supplement and all documents evidencing the Lease Balance and expenditures secured hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, the Trustee, without demand on the Lessee, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. The Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. The Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including the Lessee, the Trustee, or the Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale. The Lessee shall have all rights available to a Trustor under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located except to the extent waived in the Operative Documents. The Lessee agrees that the agreements of the Lessee herein contained shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy and that for the purpose of any suit brought under this subparagraph, the Lessee hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations. After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of the Trustee and of this trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, the Trustee shall apply to proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. In the event of foreclosure, the Lessee authorizes and empowers the Trustee or the Beneficiary to effect insurance upon the Subject Property in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat to the fullest extent permitted by law any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by Section 9604 or any other applicable section of the California Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real and personal property or fixtures whether or not such personal property is located on or within the real property, the Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property, personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, elect to proceed against any or all of the real property, personal property and -6- fixtures in any manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1) of the California Commercial Code; and if the Beneficiary elects to proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1)(B) of the California Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures covered hereby, as designated by the Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real property. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the obligation secured hereby, following default and an election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of said obligation, which is made by the Beneficiary or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall not, in accordance with the terms of California Commercial Code Section 9604(a)(3)(C), prohibit the Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or fixtures in any manner permitted by the California Commercial Code; nor shall any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition or other proceedings held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement or pending at the time of such reinstatement. Any sums paid to the Beneficiary in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be applied to the secured obligation and to the Beneficiary's and the Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by Section 2924c. Should the Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is real property or which is personal property or fixtures that Beneficiary has elected under Section 9604(a)(1)(b) of the California Commercial Code to sell together with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real property, the Beneficiary or the Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Any requirement of the California Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to the Lessee at its address above set forth at least ten (10) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required.

provided however that, without limiting the foregoing, the Mortgaged Property shall not include any inventory of the Lessee. 6. Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth herein, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that each of the Master Lease and this Lease Supplement constitutes a deed of trust or other secured financing with respect to the Subject Property as is the intent of the parties pursuant to Article XXV of the Master Lease, then the Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon a Lease Event of Default, the Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to the Trustee of written declaration of default -5- and demand for the sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold the Subject Property which notice the Trustee shall cause to be filed for record to the extent required by law. The Beneficiary also shall deposit with the Trustee the Lease Supplement and all documents evidencing the Lease Balance and expenditures secured hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, the Trustee, without demand on the Lessee, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. The Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. The Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including the Lessee, the Trustee, or the Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale. The Lessee shall have all rights available to a Trustor under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located except to the extent waived in the Operative Documents.

After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of the Trustee and of this trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, the Trustee shall apply to proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. In the event of foreclosure, the Lessee authorizes and empowers the Trustee or the Beneficiary to effect insurance upon the Subject Property in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat to the fullest extent permitted by law any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by Section 9604 or any other applicable section of the California Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real and personal property or fixtures whether or not such personal property is located on or within the real property, the Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property, personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, elect to proceed against any or all of the real property, personal property and -6- fixtures in any manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1) of the California Commercial Code; and if the Beneficiary elects to proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1)(B) of the California Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures covered hereby, as designated by the Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real property. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the obligation secured hereby, following default and an election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of said obligation, which is made by the Beneficiary or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall not, in accordance with the terms of California Commercial Code Section 9604(a)(3)(C), prohibit the Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or fixtures in any manner permitted by the California Commercial Code; nor shall any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition or other proceedings held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement or pending at the time of such reinstatement. Any sums paid to the Beneficiary in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be applied to the secured obligation and to the Beneficiary's and the Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by Section 2924c. Should the Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is real property or which is personal property or fixtures that Beneficiary has elected under Section 9604(a)(1)(b) of the California Commercial Code to sell together with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real property, the Beneficiary or the Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Any requirement of the California Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to the Lessee at its address above set forth at least ten (10) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease Supplement, the Lessee, in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of California and applicable provisions of the California Rules of Procedure, or of any other general or local law or rules or regulations of the State of California relating to deeds of trust does hereby declare and assent to the passage of a decree to sell the Mortgaged Property by the equity court having jurisdiction for the sale thereof and the Trustee appointed by such decree of court shall have, subject to the terms of the decree of court, the same authority and power to sell on the terms and conditions herein set forth. This assent to decree shall not be exhausted in the event the proceeding is dismissed before the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full. 7. Non-Responsibility. Nothing contained in this Lease Supplement shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of the Lessor, the Administrative Agent, or any other Participant, expressed or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor, mechanic, laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Subject Property or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT NEITHER THE LESSOR NOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER IS OR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO THE LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE -7- SUBJECT PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER THE LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF THE LESSOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN AND TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. 8. Ratification. The terms and provisions of the Master Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Master Lease and the terms of this Lease Supplement, the terms of the Master Lease shall control. 9. GOVERNING LAW.

Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth herein, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that each of the Master Lease and this Lease Supplement constitutes a deed of trust or other secured financing with respect to the Subject Property as is the intent of the parties pursuant to Article XXV of the Master Lease, then the Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon a Lease Event of Default, the Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to the Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for the sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold the Subject Property which notice the Trustee shall cause to be filed for record to the extent -5- required by law. The Beneficiary also shall deposit with the Trustee the Lease Supplement and all documents evidencing the Lease Balance and expenditures secured hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, the Trustee, without demand on the Lessee, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. The Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. The Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including the Lessee, the Trustee, or the Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.

In the event of foreclosure, the Lessee authorizes and empowers the Trustee or the Beneficiary to effect insurance upon the Subject Property in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat to the fullest extent permitted by law any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by Section 9604 or any other applicable section of the California Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real and personal property or fixtures whether or not such personal property is located on or within the real property, the Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property, personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, elect to proceed against any or all of the real property, personal property and fixtures in any manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1) of the California Commercial Code; and if the Beneficiary elects to proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1)(B) of -6- the California Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures covered hereby, as designated by the Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real property. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the obligation secured hereby, following default and an election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of said obligation, which is made by the Beneficiary or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall not, in accordance with the terms of California Commercial Code Section 9604(a)(3)(C), prohibit the Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or fixtures in any manner permitted by the California Commercial Code; nor shall any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition or other proceedings held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement or pending at the time of such reinstatement. Any sums paid to the Beneficiary in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be applied to the secured obligation and to the Beneficiary's and the Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by Section 2924c. Should the Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is real property or which is personal property or fixtures that Beneficiary has elected under Section 9604(a)(1)(b) of the California Commercial Code to sell together with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real property, the Beneficiary or the Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Any requirement of the California Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to the Lessee at its address above set forth at least ten (10) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease Supplement, the Lessee, in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of California and applicable provisions of the California Rules of Procedure, or of any other general or local law or rules or regulations of the State of California relating to deeds of trust does hereby declare and assent to the passage of a decree to sell the Mortgaged Property by the equity court having jurisdiction for the sale thereof and the Trustee appointed by such decree of court shall have, subject to the terms of the decree of court, the same authority and power to sell on the terms and conditions herein set forth. This assent to decree shall not be exhausted in the event the proceeding is dismissed before the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full. 7. Non-Responsibility.

The Beneficiary also shall deposit with the Trustee the Lease Supplement and all documents evidencing the Lease Balance and expenditures secured hereby. -5- After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, the Trustee, without demand on the Lessee, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale.

In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat to the fullest extent permitted by law any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property.

Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real and personal property or fixtures whether or not such personal property is located on or within the real property, the Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property, personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law.

Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the obligation secured hereby, following default and an election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of said obligation, which is made by the Beneficiary or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall not, in accordance with the terms of California Commercial Code Section 9604(a)(3)(C), prohibit the Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or fixtures in any manner permitted by the California Commercial Code; nor shall any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition or other proceedings held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement or pending at the time of such reinstatement. Any sums paid to the Beneficiary in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be applied to the secured obligation and to the Beneficiary's and the Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by Section 2924c. Should the Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is real property or which is personal property or fixtures that Beneficiary has elected under Section 9604(a)(1)(b) of the California Commercial Code to sell together with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real property, the Beneficiary or the Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Any requirement of the California Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to the Lessee at its address above set forth at least ten (10) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required.

Remedies. Without limiting any other remedies set forth herein, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that each of the Master Lease and this Lease Supplement constitutes a deed of trust or other secured financing with respect to the Subject Property as is the intent of the parties pursuant to Article XXV of the Master Lease, then the Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon a Lease Event of Default, the Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to the Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for the sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold the Subject Property which notice the Trustee shall cause to be filed for record to the extent -5- required by law. The Beneficiary also shall deposit with the Trustee the Lease Supplement and all documents evidencing the Lease Balance and expenditures secured hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, the Trustee, without demand on the Lessee, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale.

In the event of foreclosure, the Lessee authorizes and empowers the Trustee or the Beneficiary to effect insurance upon the Subject Property in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat to the fullest extent permitted by law any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by Section 9604 or any other applicable section of the California Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real and personal property or fixtures whether or not such personal property is located on or within the real property, the Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property, personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, elect to proceed against any or all of the real property, personal property and fixtures in any manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1) of the California Commercial Code; and if the Beneficiary elects to proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9604(a)(1)(B) of -6- the California Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures covered hereby, as designated by the Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real property. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the obligation secured hereby, following default and an election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of said obligation, which is made by the Beneficiary or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall not, in accordance with the terms of California Commercial Code Section 9604(a)(3)(C), prohibit the Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or fixtures in any manner permitted by the California Commercial Code; nor shall any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition or other proceedings held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement or pending at the time of such reinstatement. Any sums paid to the Beneficiary in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be applied to the secured obligation and to the Beneficiary's and the Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by Section 2924c. Should the Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is real property or which is personal property or fixtures that Beneficiary has elected under Section 9604(a)(1)(b) of the California Commercial Code to sell together with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real property, the Beneficiary or the Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Any requirement of the California Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to the Lessee at its address above set forth at least ten (10) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required.

The Participants agree among themselves that, in the event that any Participant shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or Lessor Amount or any other obligation owing to such Participant under the Operative Documents through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Participant under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Participation Agreement, such Participant shall promptly pay such excess to the Administrative Agent to pay to the other Participants such that all Participants shall share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Participation Agreement. The Participants further agree among themselves that if payment to a Participant obtained by such Participant through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Participant which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Participant whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any Participant or the Administrative Agent shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Participant an amount payable by such party to the Administrative Agent or such other Participant pursuant to the Operative Documents on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Participant at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Participant receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.7 applies, such Participant shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Participants under this Section 4.7 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. ARTICLE V CERTAIN INTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES Section 5.1. Nature of Transaction. (a) The parties hereto intend that (i) for financial accounting purposes with respect to the Lessee, the Lessor will be treated as the owner and the lessor of the Properties and the Lessee will be treated as the lessee of the Properties pursuant to an operating lease under GAAP and (ii) for federal and all state and local income tax purposes, state real estate and commercial law and bankruptcy purposes, (A) the Lease will be treated as a financing arrangement, (B) the Lessor and the Lenders will be deemed lenders making loans to the Lessee in an amount equal to the sum of the Lessor Amounts and the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, which amounts are secured by the Properties, and (C) the Lessee will be treated as the owner of the Properties described in the Lease Supplements and will be entitled to all tax benefits ordinarily available to an owner of properties like the Properties for such tax purposes. Nevertheless, the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Lessor, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any of the Lenders has made any representations or warranties to the Lessee concerning the tax, Lessee's accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative -8- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement Documents and that the Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents as it deems appropriate.

Without limiting the express rights of any Indemnitee under this Section 13.1, this Section 13.1 shall be construed as an indemnity only and not a guaranty of residual value of any Property or as a guaranty of the Notes or the repayment of the Lease Balance. Section 13.2. End of Term Indemnity. (a) If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option and there would, after giving effect to the proposed remarketing transaction, be a Shortfall Amount, then as a condition to the Lessee's right to complete the remarketing of the Properties pursuant to Article XX of the Master Lease, the Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lessor at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, a report from the Appraiser in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the "End of the -33- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement Term Report") which shall state the appraiser's conclusions as to the reason for any decline in the Fair Market Sales Value of any Property from the Property Cost thereof. (b) On or prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Participants an amount (not to exceed the Shortfall Amount) equal to the portion of any Shortfall Amount that the End of the Term Report demonstrates was the result of a decline in the Fair Market Sales Value of any Property due to: (i) extraordinary use; failure to maintain, repair, restore, rebuild or replace; failure to comply with any applicable law; failure to use; workmanship; method of installation or removal or maintenance, repair, rebuilding or replacement (excepting in each case ordinary wear and tear and except as otherwise provided in the Lease); or (ii) any Modification made to, or any rebuilding of, such Property or any part thereof by the Lessee, or any sublessee, whether or not permitted pursuant to the Operative Documents; or (iii) contamination at such Property resulting from any Hazardous Activity, Hazardous Materials or Environmental Violations whether or not such condition existed on the Acquisition Date therefor; or (iv) any restoration or rebuilding carried out by the Lessee; or (v) any condemnation of any portion of such Property pursuant to Article XIV of the Master Lease; or (vi) any use of such Property or any part thereof by the Lessee other than for its intended purposes as contemplated by the applicable Appraisal; or (vii) any grant, release, dedication, transfer, annexation or amendment made pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Master Lease; or (viii) the failure of the Lessor to have good and marketable title to such Property free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Property Liens described in clauses (i), (viii) and (x) of the definition thereof); or (ix) the existence of any sublease relating to such Property that shall survive the Expiration Date. Section 13.3. Environmental Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and without limitation of the other provisions of this Article XIII, the Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims (including, without limitation, third party claims for personal injury or real or personal property damage), losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings, judgments, remedial actions, requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but -34- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement not limited to reasonable attorneys' and/or paralegals' fees and expenses and costs incurred in connection with any investigation or monitoring of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work with respect to any Property undertaken or required by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority), arising or asserted under any Environmental Laws, and arising in whole or in part, out of: (a) the presence on or under such Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any Releases of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or at such Property; (b) any activity, including, without limitation, construction, carried on or undertaken on or off such Property, whether by the Lessee (or any predecessor in title) or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of the Lessee (or any predecessor in title), or in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials that at any time are located or present on or under or that at any time migrate, flow, percolate, diffuse or in any way move onto or off such Property; (c) with respect to any Hazardous Materials at such Property, loss of or damage to any property or the environment (including, without limitation, clean-up costs, response costs, remediation and removal costs, costs of corrective action, costs of financial assurance, fines and penalties and natural resource damages), or death or injury to any Person, and all expenses associated with the protection of wildlife, aquatic species, vegetation, flora and fauna, and any mitigative action required by or under Environmental Laws; or (d) any noncompliance with Environmental Laws, or any act or omission causing an environmental condition at such Property that requires remediation or causing any Governmental Authority to record a Lien pursuant to Environmental Laws on the land record of such Property; or (e) any residual contamination on or under such Property, including any contamination affecting any natural resources, and any contamination of any property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Material associated with such Property, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Section 13.3 for (1) any claim to the extent resulting from such Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (2) any claim arising in respect to such Property to the extent attributable to acts or events occurring in the period after the Lessee ceases to lease the Property from the Lessor; provided that the facts supporting such claim occur after such period. It is expressly understood and agreed that the indemnity provided for herein shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease Term with respect to any claim based on facts or circumstances arising prior to or during the Lease Term, and shall be separate and independent from any remedy under the Lease or any other Operative Document. -35- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessee waives all rights and defenses that the Lessee may have because the Lessee's obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) The Indemnitees may collect from the Lessee without first foreclosing on any real or, if applicable, personal property collateral pledged by Lessee; (2) If the Indemnitees foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by the Lessee: (A) the amount of the Lessee's obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale (even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price thereof); (B) the Indemnitees may collect from the Lessee even if the Indemnitees, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right the Lessee may have to collect from third parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Lessee may have because Lessee's obligations are secured by real property. Section 13.4. Proceedings in Respect of Claims. In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of Claims indemnifiable under Sections 13.1 or 13.3, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Lessee of the commencement thereof, and the Lessee shall be entitled, at the Lessee's expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof; provided, however, that if the Lessee shall have exercised its rights to control the defense of such Claim to the exclusion of the applicable Indemnitee, the Lessee shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding, and the Lessee shall keep such Indemnitee fully apprised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect to such action, suit or proceeding as such Indemnitee shall reasonably request, and provided, further, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee's counsel, (x) such action, suit or proceeding involves any risk of imposition of criminal liability on any Indemnitee or will involve a material risk of imposition of civil liability on any Indemnitee or the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Property Lien) on the Properties or any part thereof or any interference with the payment of Rent unless, in the case of civil liability only, the Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in respect of such risk or (y) the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve an actual or potential conflict of interest, (B) such proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by the Lessee that the Lessee and the Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified claim(s), or (C) a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Indemnitee will join in the Lessee's efforts to sever such action. In the event that an Indemnitee has assumed control of any such proceeding, it shall keep the Lessee fully apprised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and shall provide the Lessee with all -36- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement information with respect to such action, suit or proceeding as the Lessee may reasonably request. The Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. The Lessee shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 13.1 or 13.3 without prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of a money settlement not involving an admission of liability of such Indemnitee. Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Lessee pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.3 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve any such claims and otherwise cooperate with the Lessee and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Lessee to pursue such claims. Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.3 shall be paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable. Section 13.5. General Tax Indemnity. (a) Indemnification. Without limitation of the rights of any Tax Indemnitee under any other indemnification provision of this Article XIII, the Lessee shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the applicable Property and all Tax Indemnitees, and hold them harmless, on an After Tax Basis, against all Impositions. (b) Contests. If any claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee (including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Imposition as to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 13.5, or if any Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any Imposition to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 13.5 may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly (and in any event, within thirty (30) days) notify the Lessee in writing (provided that failure to so notify the Lessee within thirty (30) days shall not alter such Tax Indemnitee's rights under this Section 13.5 except to the extent such failure precludes or materially adversely affects the ability to conduct a contest of any Impositions) and shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the written consent of the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee; provided, however, that in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to the Lessee, so inform the Lessee and such Tax Indemnitee shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the consent of the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for ten (10) days -37- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee unless such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such ten (10) day period. The Lessee shall be entitled for a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice from such Tax Indemnitee (or such shorter period as such Tax Indemnitee has notified the Lessee is required by law or regulation for such Tax Indemnitee to commence such contest), to request in writing that such Tax Indemnitee contest the Imposition, at the Lessee's sole expense. If (x) such contest can be pursued in the name of the Lessee and independently from any other proceeding involving an Imposition of such Tax Indemnitee for which the Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee, (y) such contest must be pursued in the name of such Tax Indemnitee, but can be pursued independently from any other proceeding involving an Imposition on such Tax Indemnitee for which the Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee or (z) such Tax Indemnitee so requests, then the Lessee shall be permitted to control the contest of such claim, provided that in the case of any such contest, if such Tax Indemnitee determines reasonably and in good faith that such contest by the Lessee could have a material adverse impact on the business or operations of such Tax Indemnitee and provides a written explanation to the Lessee of such determination, such Tax Indemnitee may elect to control or reassert control of the contest, and provided that by taking control of the contest, the Lessee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for the Imposition ultimately determined to be due by reason of such contest, and provided, further, that in determining the application of clauses (x) and (y) above, each Tax Indemnitee shall take any and all reasonable steps to segregate claims for any Taxes for which the Lessee indemnifies hereunder from Taxes for which the Lessee is not obligated to indemnify hereunder, so that the Lessee can control the contest of the former. In all other claims relating to Impositions requested to be contested by the Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall control the contest of such claim, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Lessee be permitted to pursue or continue any contest (or such Tax Indemnitee be required to pursue or continue any contest) of any Imposition or claim thereof through any action, suit or proceeding (A) if such Tax Indemnitee provides the Lessee with a legal opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessee that such action, suit or proceeding involves a risk of imposition of criminal liability on any Tax Indemnitee or will involve a material risk of imposition of civil liability on any Tax Indemnitee or the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Property Lien) on the Properties or any part thereof or any interference with the payment of Rent unless, with respect to civil liability only, the Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitees in respect of such risk, (B) if a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (C) unless the Lessee shall have agreed to pay and shall pay to such Tax Indemnitee on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, losses and expenses that such Tax Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such Imposition or claim thereof, including all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements as well as the Impositions which are the subject of such contest to the extent the contest is unsuccessful, or (D) if such contest shall involve the payment of the Imposition prior to the contest, unless the Lessee shall provide to such Tax Indemnitee an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the Imposition that the Tax Indemnitee is so required to pay on an After Tax Basis and prior to commencing any contest the Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability for the Imposition (if and to the extent that the Tax Indemnitee or the Lessee, as the case may be, -38- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement shall not prevail in the contest in respect of the Imposition). In addition, no contest of any Imposition shall be required: (A) unless the amount of the potential indemnities (taking into account all similar or logically related claims that have been or are likely to be raised in any audit involving any or all of such Tax Indemnitees for which the Lessee may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section 13.5(b)) exceeds $75,000 and (B) unless, if requested by such Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee shall have provided to such Tax Indemnitee at the Lessee's sole expense, an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee that a reasonable basis exists to contest such Imposition (or, in the case of an appeal from an adverse judicial determination, that there is substantial authority for a reversal or favorable modification of such decision of such appeal). In no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court. The party conducting and controlling the contest of an Imposition shall consult in good faith with the other party and its counsel with respect to such contest (or claim for refund) but the decisions regarding what actions are to be taken with respect to such contest shall be made by the controlling party in its sole judgment. In addition, the party controlling the contest shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably informed as to the progress of the contest, and shall provide the noncontrolling party with a copy of (or appropriate excerpts from) any reports or claims issued by the relevant Governmental Authority to the controlling party thereof, relating to such contest. Each Tax Indemnitee shall, at the Lessee's sole expense, supply the Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee as are necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 13.5(b) so long as such information or documents are not, in the reasonable judgment of the Tax Indemnitee, confidential information or documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.5(b) to the contrary, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Tax Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise or fail to appeal an adverse determination with respect to any claim for an Imposition for which it is entitled to be indemnified under this Section 13.5 (and with respect to which contest is required under this Section 13.5(b)) without the prior written consent of the Lessee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section 13.5 with respect to such claim pursuant to the next paragraph. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest or continue to contest (and the Lessee shall not be permitted to contest or continue to contest) a claim with respect to any Imposition and shall be permitted to settle or commence any such claim without the consent of the Lessee if (i) such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this Section 13.5 with respect to such claim (and any claim with respect to such year or any other taxable year the contest of which is materially adversely affected as a result of such waiver) and the Tax Indemnitee returns to the Lessee all amounts previously advanced to the Indemnitee with respect to the contest of such claim or (ii) such Imposition is the sole result of a claim of a continuing and consistent nature, which claim has previously been resolved against the relevant Tax Indemnitee (unless a change in law or facts has occurred since such prior adverse resolution and the Lessee provides an opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee to the effect that it is more -39- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement likely than not that such change in law or facts will result in a favorable resolution of the claim at issue). (c) [Intentionally omitted] (d) Payments. Any Imposition indemnifiable under this Section 13.5 shall be paid when due directly to the applicable taxing authority if such direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13.5 shall be paid to the Tax Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee, which demand shall be, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not before ten (10) Business Days prior to the date that the relevant Imposition is due. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 13.5 shall be made directly to such Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto or the Lessee, as the case may be, in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directions to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in Schedule II hereto. Upon the request of any Tax Indemnitee with respect to Impositions that the Lessee is required to pay, the Lessee shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's payment of such Imposition or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. (e) Reports. In the case of any report, return or statement required to be filed with respect to any Impositions that are subject to indemnification under this Section 13.5, the Lessee shall promptly notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and, at the Lessee's sole expense (i) if the Lessee is permitted by Applicable Law, timely file such report, return or statement in its own name and send a copy of such report, return or statement to the Tax Indemnitee, or (ii) if such report, return or statement is required to be in the name of or filed by such Tax Indemnitee, or the Tax Indemnitee otherwise requests that such report, return or statement be filed in the name of or by such Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee shall prepare and furnish such report, return or statement in such manner as shall be satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and shall send the same to such Tax Indemnitee for filing no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date therefor. In any case in which such Tax Indemnitee will file any such report, return or statement, the Lessee shall, upon written request of such Tax Indemnitee, provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably necessary to allow such Tax Indemnitee to file such report, return or statement. (f) Tax Ownership. Each Tax Indemnitee represents and warrants that it will not, prior to the termination of the Lease with respect to a Property, claim ownership of (or any tax benefits, including depreciation, with respect to) such Property for any income tax purposes (unless required to do so by a Governmental Authority), it being understood that the Lessee is and will remain the owner of such Property for such income tax purposes until the termination of the Lease with respect thereto. (g) Disclosure. The parties agree that any party to this Participation Agreement (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may disclose the tax aspects of the -40- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement transactions contemplated by this Participation Agreement and the structural aspects of these transactions as they relate to such tax aspects without limitation of any kind on such disclosure. Section 13.6. Indemnity Payments in Addition to Lease Obligations. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee's obligations to make indemnity payments under this Article XIII are separate from, in addition to, and do not reduce, the Lessee's obligations to pay any amounts owing from time to time under the Lease. Section 13.7. Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Documentation Date shall make it unlawful for any Participant to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts as contemplated by the Operative Documents, (i) such Participant shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Lessee, the Lessor and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment of such Participant hereunder to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Participant to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts, such Participant shall then have a commitment only to make or maintain Base Rate Loans/Lessor Amounts when Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts are requested and (iii) such Participant's Loans and Lessor Amounts then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans/Lessor Amounts on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans and Lessor Amounts or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Lessee shall pay to such Participant such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 13.10. In any such case, interest and principal (if any) shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts of the other Participants so affected. Section 13.8. Deposits Unavailable. If any of the Participants shall have determined that: (i) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to such Participant in its relevant market; or (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting such Participant's relevant market adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate or Yield, as the case may be, applicable to such Participant's Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts; then, upon notice from such Participant to the Lessee, the Administrative Agent and the other Participants, (x) the obligations of such Participant to make or continue any Loans or Lessor Amounts as, or to convert any Loans or Lessor Amounts into Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts shall be suspended, and (y) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan/Lessor Amount held by such Participant shall automatically convert into a Base Rate Loan/Lessor Amount on the last day of the current Interest Period applicable thereto. -41- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement Section 13.9. Increased Costs, etc. (a) If the adoption of or any change in a Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Participant, or compliance by any Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Documentation Date (or, if later, the date on which such Participant becomes a Participant): (i) shall subject such Participant to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts made, continued or maintained by it or its obligation to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Participant in respect thereof (except for Taxes that would be excluded from the definition of Impositions, any changes in taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall gross or net income, franchise or other taxes (imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Participant its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof); or (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, Loans, Lessor Amounts, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Participant which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or (iii) shall impose on such Participant any other condition (excluding any Tax of any kind) whatsoever in connection with the Operative Documents; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Participant of making, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Lessee from such Participant, the Lessee shall pay such Participant any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Participant for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that, in any such case, the Lessee may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts made or held by such Participant hereunder to Base Rate Loans/Lessor Amounts by giving the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day's notice of such election, in which case the Lessee shall promptly pay to such Participant, upon demand, without duplication, such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 13.10. All payments required by this Section 13.9(a) shall be made by the Lessee within five (5) Business Days after demand by the applicable Participant. The Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse any Participant for any increased cost or reduced return incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Participant delivers notice to the Lessee of such increased cost or reduced return unless such Participant gives notice thereof to the Lessee in accordance with this Section 13.9 during such one hundred eighty (180) day period. If any Participant becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Lessee, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Participant and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof (including the method by which such Participant allocated such amounts to the Lessee). Such a certificate as to any -42- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause submitted by such Participant, through the Administrative Agent, to the Lessee shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Participation Agreement and the payment of the Loans and Lessor Amounts, as the case may be, and all other amounts payable hereunder. (b) Each Participant shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any unlawfulness or claim for compensation pursuant to Sections 13.7, 13.8 or 13.9(a), including, without limitation, a change in the office of such Participant at which its obligations related to this Participation Agreement are maintained if such change will cure the unlawfulness or avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Participant, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Section 13.10. Funding Losses; Break Costs. (a) The Lessee agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from any loss or expense which such Indemnitee may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by the Lessee in making a borrowing of Loans or Lessor Amounts which are Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts after Lessee has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Participation Agreement, (ii) default by the Lessee in making any prepayment of a Loan or Lessor Amount which is a Eurodollar Loan/Lessor Amount after the Lessee has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Participation Agreement, or (iii) the making of a payment or prepayment of Loans or Lessor Amounts which are Eurodollar Loans/Lessor Amounts on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document and the payment of the Loans, Lessor Amounts and all other amounts payable under the Operative Documents. (b) The Lessee shall, upon receipt from the Administrative Agent or any Participant of a statement of the amount of any loss, cost or expense constituting Break Costs prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail (which statement shall be binding absent manifest error), pay the amount of such Break Costs to the requesting Person. Section 13.11. Capital Adequacy. (a) If the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Participant with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Documentation Date has or will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Participant's or its parent company's capital, as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Participant or its parent company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Participant's or its parent company's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Participant, the Lessee shall pay to such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Participant and its parent company for such reduction (it being understood that such parent company shall not be reimbursed to the extent its subsidiary Participant is -43- Lam Research Corporation Participation Agreement reimbursed by the Lessee in connection with the same or a similar law, rule, regulation, change, request or directive applicable to such Participant). All payments required by this Section 13.11 shall be made by the Lessee within five (5) Business Days after demand by such Participant. The Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse any Participant for any reduced return incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Participant delivers notice to the Lessee of such reduced return unless such Participant gives notice thereof to the Lessee in accordance with this Section 13.11 during such one hundred eighty (180) day period.

The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions): a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
