Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  This sale is effected pursuant to the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on March 11, 2015.
( 2)  On August 7, 2014, the Reporting Person received a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") covering 7,350 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock. On August 7, 2015, the Reporting Person vested in twenty-five percent (25%) of such RSUs.
( 3)  Pursuant to such terms of the August 7, 2014 RSU grant, 691 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding. 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 as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market on such vesting date.
( 4)  Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of KLA-Tencor common stock.
( 5)  Does not include performance-based RSUs, 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 a Form 4 within two business days of the date such assessment is made.
