Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) This transaction was executed in multiple trades at prices ranging from $31.14 to $31.141. The price reported above reflects the weighted average purchase price. The Reporting Person hereby undertakes to provide upon request to the SEC staff, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which the transaction was effected.
(2) On August 8, 2007, Mr. Martin received a grant of performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") that, following completion of fiscal year 2008, were determined by the Compensation Committee of KLA-Tencor's Board of Directors (in August 2008) to cover, based on KLA-Tencor's financial performance during fiscal year 2008, 3,922 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock. On August 8, 2009, Mr. Martin vested in fifty percent (50%) of such RSUs.
(3) Pursuant to the terms of the August 8, 2007 RSU grant, 702 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding. Because the vesting date of such RSUs occurred on a day on which the NASDAQ Stock Market was closed for trading, the fair market value of KLA-Tencor common stock used for purposes of calculating the number of shares to be withheld was the closing price of KLA-Tencor common stock on the last completed trading day immediately prior to such vesting date.
(4) Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of KLA-Tencor common stock.
(5) Does not include performance-based restricted stock units, if any, held by the Reporting Person for which an assessment has not yet been made regarding the achievement of the applicable performance goals. Any such holdings will be reported on Form 4 within two business days of the date such assessment is made.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
