KLA-Tencor Corporation

2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

FOR FRENCH PARTICIPANTS

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Employee named in the Restricted
Stock Unit Award Notification an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), as
set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notification and subject to the
terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
(the “U.S. Plan”) and the Rules of the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for
the Grant of Restricted Stock Units to Participants in France (the “French
Plan,” together with the U.S. Plan, the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined
herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”).

     2. Company's Obligation. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share
on the Vesting Date of that unit. Unless and until the RSUs vest, the Employee
will have no right to receive Shares under such RSUs. Prior to actual
distribution of Shares pursuant to any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an
unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general
assets of the Company.

     3. Vesting Schedule. Subject to paragraph 5, the Employee will vest in the
RSUs awarded by this Agreement according to the vesting schedule specified in
the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notification. Accordingly, such vesting may be
tied to the attainment of established performance goals and/or the completion of
a specified period of Service Provider status. In no event shall any RSUs become
non-forfeitable prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Grant Date, or such
other date as is required to comply with the minimum vesting period under
Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, or relevant
sections of the French Tax Code and French Social Security Code, as amended, to
benefit from the favorable tax and social security regime; provided, however,
that this mandatory minimum vesting period shall not apply in the event the
Employee terminates service as a Service Provider by reason of death or
Disability (as defined in the French Plan).

     4. Restriction on Sale of the Shares. The Employee will not be permitted to
sell or transfer any Shares issued on a Vesting Date until the second
anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date, or such other period as is required
to comply with the minimum mandatory holding period applicable to shares
underlying French-qualified RSUs under Section L. 225-197-7 of the French
Commercial Code, as amended, or relevant sections of the French Tax Code and
French Social Security Code, as amended, to benefit from the favorable tax and
social security regime; provided, however, that this minimum holding period
shall not apply in the event of the Employee’s termination of service as a
Service Provider by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the French
Plan). If the minimum holding period applicable to Shares underlying the
French-qualified

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RSUs is not met, the RSUs may not receive favorable tax or social security
treatment under French law. In this case, the Employee accepts and agrees that
he or she will be responsible for paying personal income tax and his or her
portion of social security contributions resulting from the vesting of the RSUs.

     Furthermore, the Shares underlying French-qualified RSUs shall not be sold
during certain Closed Periods,1 to the extent applicable under French law.

     5. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may
accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of
the RSU at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such
RSUs will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the
Administrator. If the Administrator, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting
of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the RSUs, the Shares
underlying those accelerated RSUs shall nevertheless be issued at the same time
or times as if such RSUs had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set
forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notification (whether or not the
Employee remains in Service Provider status as of such date(s)). In addition, if
the Administrator, in its discretion accelerates the vesting of the balance, or
some lesser portion of the balance, of the RSU at any time, the French-qualified
RSUs may be disqualified as provided in paragraph 27 hereof.

     6. Forfeiture upon Termination as Service Provider. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement or the Restricted Stock Unit Award
Notification, if the Employee terminates service as a Service Provider for any
or no reason (other than the Employee’s death) prior to vesting, the unvested
RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the
Company and without any payment (in cash or otherwise) due the Employee. If the
Employee terminates service as a Service Provider by reason of his or her death,
the unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will be immediately vested and will
be paid in accordance with paragraph 7 hereof.

     7. Payment after Vesting. Any RSUs that vest in accordance with paragraph 3
will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee's death, to his or
her legal heirs) in Shares as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date,
subject to paragraph 10. Any RSUs that vest in accordance with paragraph 5 will
be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her
legal heirs) in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph, subject to
paragraph 10. For each RSU that vests, the Employee will receive one Share. The
Shares shall be issued no later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar
year in which the Shares vest or (for accelerated RSUs under paragraph 5) would
have vested in the absence of such acceleration or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) day
of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date that the RSUs were
originally scheduled to vest without giving effect to any accelerated vesting
under paragraph 5.

1 These Closed Periods are (i) ten (10) quotation days preceding and following
the disclosure to the public of the consolidated financial statements or the
annual statements of the Company; or (ii) the period as from the date the
corporate management of the Company possess confidential information which
could, if disclosed to the public, significantly impact the trading price of the
Common Stock of the Company, until ten (10) quotation days after the day such
information is disclosed to the public.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     8. Payments after Death. In accordance with the provisions of Section 10 of
the French Plan, any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under
this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the Employee’s
legal heirs upon their request within a six (6) month period measured from the
date of the Employee’s death. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with
(a) written notice of his or her status as legal heir and (b) evidence
satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and
compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. If the
Employee’s heirs do not request distribution or delivery of Shares underlying
the RSUs within six (6) months of the Employee’s death, as provided herein, the
RSUs shall automatically expire.

     9. Adjustment in Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by
reason of any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off transaction, extraordinary
distribution (whether made in cash, securities or other property),
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change
affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt
of consideration, then equitable adjustments shall be made by the Administrator
to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award.
Such adjustments shall be made in such manner as the Administrator deems
appropriate in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or
enlargement of benefits hereunder.

     10. Withholding of Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the
Subsidiary employing or retaining the Employee (the “Employer”) take with
respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax
and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other
tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Plan and
legally applicable to the Employee or deemed by the Company or the Employer to
be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the
ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s
responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the
Employer. The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer
(a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any
Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the
grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the delivery of Shares, the
subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any
dividends or dividend equivalents; and (b) do not commit to continue to and are
under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Award to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or
to achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee becomes subject
to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any
relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the
Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or
account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

     Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Company will withhold a portion of
the vested RSUs that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the
Tax-Related Items. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence
will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no cash payment due the
Employee for the value of any Share withheld in excess of the Tax-Related Items
as a result of such rounding. If the date of the relevant taxable event (e.g.,
the date upon which the RSUs vest, in whole or in part) occurs on a day on which
the

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

established stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is traded
(including without limitation the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ
Global Market) is not open for trading, the Fair Market Value for purposes of
calculating the portion of the vested RSUs to be withheld pursuant to this
paragraph 10 (i.e., the deemed Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock
on the date of such taxable event) shall be equal to the closing sales price for
the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on such stock exchange on the market
trading day immediately prior to such taxable event. Alternatively, the Company,
in its sole discretion, may require or otherwise permit the Employee to make
alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such Tax-Related Items.
In addition, the Company and/or the Employer has the right to satisfy any
Tax-Related Items that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the
withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares by one or a combination of the
following: (i) retaining without notice from salary or other amounts payable to
the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any Tax-Related Items;
or (ii) arranging for the sale of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Employee
(on the Employee’s behalf and at the Employee’s direction pursuant to this
authorization).

     To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account
for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding
amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related
Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, the
Employee shall be deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number
of Shares subject to the vested portion of the Award, notwithstanding that a
number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related
Items due as a result of any aspect of the Award. By accepting this RSU award,
the Employee expressly consents to the withholding or sale of Shares and to any
additional cash withholding as provided for in this paragraph 10.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be
issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company)
have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related
Items.

     11. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming
under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a
stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless
and until certificates representing such Shares are issued, recorded on the
records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to
the Employee or Employee’s broker.

     12. No Effect on Employment. To the full extent permitted under applicable
law, the Employee's employment or other Service Provider status with the Company
and its Subsidiaries is on an at-will basis only. Accordingly, the terms of the
Employee's employment or other Service Provider status with the Company and its
Subsidiaries will be determined from time to time by the Company or the
Subsidiary employing or retaining the Employee (as the case may be), and the
Company or the Subsidiary will have the right, which is hereby expressly
reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment or service
relationship of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or
without good cause or notice, in each case subject to compliance with applicable
employment or other laws.

terms of this Agreement must be addressed to the Company at 160 Rio Robles, San
Jose, California 95134, Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as
the Company may hereafter designate in writing or electronically.

     14. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in
paragraph 8, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not
be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution,
attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege
conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or
similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby
immediately will become null and void.

     15. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 17, the Company shall use its best efforts to assure that the Shares
issued in payment of the vested RSUs are registered under the U.S. federal
securities laws or qualify for any available exemption from such registration
and are accordingly freely tradable. However, any sale of the Shares will be
subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and
must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other
applicable securities laws.

     16. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of
this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.

     17. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company
determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification
of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any U.S. state or federal
law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is
necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Employee
(or his or her legal heirs), such issuance will not occur unless and until such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval have been effected or
obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will
make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such U.S. state or
federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of
any such governmental authority. In no event, however, shall any Shares be
issued in contravention of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or
other regulatory requirements.

     18. Plan Governs. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock Unit Award
Notification are subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event
of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Restricted
Stock Unit Award Notification and one or more provisions of the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan will govern.

     19. Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to
interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the
administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent
therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited
to, the determination of whether or not any RSUs have vested). All actions taken
and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good
faith

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other
interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for
any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to
the Plan or this Agreement.

     20. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not
to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

     21. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement
will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from,
and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect
on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     22. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly
warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any
promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein.
Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express
written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the
Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement as it deems necessary or
advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Employee, to
comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise avoid imposition of any
additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the
actual payment of Shares pursuant to this RSU award.

     23. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this RSU
award, the Employee expressly warrants that he or she has received a right to
receive stock under the Plan (provided the vesting conditions are satisfied),
and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. The Employee
understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified,
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to RSUs awarded under the
Plan or future RSUs that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or
request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.
By accepting this RSU award, the Employee hereby consents to receive such
documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through
an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or
another third party designated by the Company.

and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflict of laws.

     For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly
from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this RSU award or this
Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive

     26. Acknowledgement of Nature of Plan and Award. In accepting the Award,
the Employee acknowledges that:

(a)      the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company;   (b)      the
Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any  

contractual or other right to receive future awards of RSUs, or benefits in lieu

     (c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the
sole discretion of the Company;

(d)      the Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;   (e)      the

     (f) the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for

replace any pension rights or compensation;

     (h) in the event that the Employee is not an Employee of the Company or any

     (j) in consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation

termination of the Employee’s employment or Service Provider status by the
Company or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in
breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and any Subsidiary from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
arisen, then, by accepting the Award, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably
to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (k) in the event of termination of his or her employment (whether or not in
breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive RSUs and vest in
the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that he
or she is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice
period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a
period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the
Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee
is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award;

     (l) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is
the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in
the Plan or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares; and

     (m) the Employee is hereby advised to consult with his or her personal tax,
legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan
before taking any action related to the Plan.

     27. Disqualification of French-qualified RSUs. If the French-qualified RSUs
are otherwise modified or adjusted in a manner in keeping with the terms of the
U.S. Plan or as mandated as a matter of law and the modification or adjustment
is contrary to the terms and conditions of the French Plan, the RSUs may no
longer qualify as French-qualified RSUs. If the Awards no longer qualify as
French-qualified RSUs, the Administrator may, provided it is authorized to do so
under the Plan, determine to lift, shorten or terminate certain restrictions
applicable to the vesting of the RSUs or the sale of the Shares which may have
been imposed under the French Plan and this Agreement.

     28. Data Privacy. The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents
to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her
personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials
by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for
the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s
participation in the Plan.

     The Employee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain
personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to the
Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social
insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or
any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or
outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

     The Employee understands that Data will be transferred to any third parties
assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of
the Plan. The Employee understands the recipients of the Data may be located in
France, in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country may
have different data privacy laws and protections than France. The Employee
understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of
any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human
resources representative. The Employee authorizes the Company and any other

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future)
with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose
of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the
Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is
necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the
Plan. The Employee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data,
request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require
any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in
any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources
representative. The Employee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing
such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more
information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal
of consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact his or her local
human resources representative.

     29. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to
impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the
RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company
determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or
facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign
any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish
the foregoing. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to another country, the
special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the
extent the Company determines that the application of such terms is necessary or
advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of
the Plan.

     30. Language. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other
document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and
if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version,
the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by local law.

     By accepting the Award, the Employee confirms having read and understood
the documents relating to this grant (the Restricted Stock Unit Award
Notification, the U.S. Plan as amended by the French Plan and this Agreement)
which were provided to the Employee in the English language. The Employee
accepts the terms of those documents accordingly.

     En acceptant l'Attribution, le Salarie confirme avoir lu et compris les
documents relatifs à cette attribution (le Formulaire d'Attribution, le Plan
U.S. tel qu’amendé par le Plan pour la France et ce Contrat d'Attribution) qui
