Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $13.14 to $13.22, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Applied Materials, Inc., any security holder of Applied Materials, Inc., or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in footnote 1 to this Form 4. ( 2 )Number of shares has been decreased in this amended Form 4 to reflect the fact that 220,000 shares (not 220,651 shares) should have been reported as held by Mr. Halliday on his Form 4 filed April 8, 2013. The decrease in the number of shares reflects a sale by Mr. Halliday on March 4, 2013 of 651 shares acquired under the Employees' Stock Purchase Plan. Number of shares consists of 220,000 performance shares previously reported that in the future will be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Applied Materials, Inc. common stock upon vesting, which vesting is scheduled to occur as follows: (a) 80,000 shares are scheduled to vest in installments during each November of 2013 and 2014; (b) 40,000 shares are scheduled to vest in installments during each January of 2014 through 2017; and (c) provided specified performance goals are achieved, 100,000 shares will be scheduled to vest in installments during each December of 2013 through 2016, which number of shares is the target amount, and the actual number of shares that may vest ranges from 0% to 150% of the target amount, depending on the achievement of specified performance goals (all vesting is subject to continued employment through each applicable vest date).

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
