Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment (that indicates all securities offered have been

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

         (a)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                 (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                          (i)   To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;

                          (iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;

                 Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
information required to be included in a





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.

                 (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                 (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

         (b)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each
filing of the registrant's annual report  pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of the Plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                           Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                   At your request, we are rendering this opinion in connection
with the proposed issuance pursuant to The Applied Materials, Inc. 1995 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), of up to 1,900,000 shares of common stock, $.01
par value ("Common Stock"), of Applied Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company").

                   We have examined instruments, documents, and records which
we deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter
expressed.  In such examination, we have assumed the following:  (a) the
authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b)
the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; and
(c) the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information, representations,
and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments, and
certificates we have reviewed.

                   Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the
1,900,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to the
Plan are validly authorized shares of Common Stock, and, when issued in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid,
and nonassessable.

                   We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to this Registration Statement on Form S-8 and to the use of our name
wherever it appears in said Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we
do not consider that we are "experts" within the meaning of such term as used
in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulationsof the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder with respect to any part
of the Registration Statement, including this opinion, as an exhibit or
otherwise.

                                        Very truly yours,
