Section 1.2 Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide Participants and their beneficiaries with certain welfare benefits described herein. The Plan is intended to qualify as fully insured under a policy of accident and health insurance, and not to be classified or otherwise treated as a “self-insured medical reimbursement plan”under Code Section 105(h)(6), or any successor provision. The Plan is intended to meet all other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code, as well as rulings and regulations issued or promulgated thereunder.

  (a) “Claims Review Committee” means the individual or committee designated by the Plan Administrator from time to time.

  (b) “Company” means Semitool, Inc. and any successor or successors that continue to maintain the Plan.

  (c) “Effective Date” means February 15, 2006.

  (d) “ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.

Section 1.4 Interpretation.  In the event that the provisions of the Insurance Policy conflict with the provisions of this document, the Plan Administrator shall use its discretion to interpret the terms and purpose of the Plan so as to resolve any conflict. However, the terms of this document may not enlarge the rights of a Participant or his or her beneficiary to benefits otherwise available under the Insurance Policy.

ARTICLE II
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

Section 2.1 Eligibility.  Each Insured shall become a Participant in the Plan on the Effective Date.

Section 2.2 Termination of Participation.  Each Insured shall remain a Participant in the Plan until he or she no longer satisfies the eligibility and participation requirements of the Plan or the Insurance Policy.

ARTICLE III
FUNDING AND BENEFITS

Section 3.1 Funding.  The terms of the Insurance Policy shall govern the amount and timing of contributions required to be made by the Company or any Participant. To any extent that the Insurance Policy does not prescribe the amount or timing of contributions, the Plan Administrator shall make such determination. Nothing herein requires the Company, or the Plan Administrator to contribute to or under the Insurance Policy, or to maintain any fund or segregate any amount for the benefit of any Participant or his beneficiary, except to the extent specifically required under the terms of the Insurance Policy. No Participant or beneficiary shall have any right to, or interest in, the assets of the Company.

Section 3.2 Benefits.  Benefits will be paid solely in the form, in the amount, and pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Insurance Policy.

Section 4.1 Named Fiduciary.  The Plan Administrator shall be the "named fiduciary" of the Plan, as defined in section 402(a)(2) of ERISA.

Section 4.2 Plan Administrator.

  (a) The Plan Administrator shall have sole authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan.

  (b) The Plan Administrator shall have full discretion to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan, which interpretation or construction shall be final and binding on all parties, including but not limited to the Company and any Participant or beneficiary, except as otherwise provided by law. The Plan Administrator shall administer such terms and provisions in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner and in full accordance with any and all laws applicable to the Plan.

  (c) The Plan Administrator may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of the Plan, may employ persons to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Plan, may designate fiduciaries other than those named in the Plan, and may allocate or reallocate fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan.

  (d) The Company, acting through its Board of Directors, reserves to itself the exclusive power to appoint and remove from time to time the Plan Administrator.

Section 4.3 Insurance Policy Responsibilities.  Pursuant to Section 4.2(c) and except to the extent otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the party designated to be responsible for benefits administration under the Insurance Policy shall be solely responsible for the operation and administration of the Insurance Policy, including the determination of eligibility, participation and the amount of benefits, notification of claimants, payment of benefits, and recordkeeping. If the Insurance Policy does not designate a party to perform these responsibilities, they shall be performed by the Plan Administrator or its delegate.

Section 4.4 Fiduciary Duties and Responsibilities.  Each Plan fiduciary shall discharge his or her duties with respect to the Plan solely in the interest of the Participants and their beneficiaries, for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to such individuals and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan, and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

A fiduciary may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity. A named fiduciary may allocate any of the named fiduciary’s responsibilities for the operation and administration of the Plan to other fiduciaries. Either the named fiduciary or other fiduciary appointed by the named fiduciary may employ one or more persons to render advice with regard to any responsibilities such fiduciary has under the Plan.

Unless liability is otherwise provided under Section 405 of ERISA, a named fiduciary shall not be liable for any act or omission of any other party to the extent that (a) such responsibility was properly allocated to such other party as a named fiduciary, or (b) such other party has been properly designated to carry out such responsibility pursuant to the procedures set forth above.
