Explanation of Responses:

1. Shares acquired in exchange for vested restricted stock units pursuant to the 2009 Incentive Award Plan.

2. The nature of the indirect beneficial ownership of the shares shown in lines 2 and 3 in item 4 on Table 1 consists of shares acquired and held for Mr. Yegnashankaran's account by the Company's Retirement and Savings Program, a tax qualified defined contribution plan. As of October 1, 2008, based on unitized valuations provided by the Plan Trustee, a total of 70,207.456 shares were held for Mr. Yegnashankaran's plan accounts in the Program and were fully vested. Shares acquired under the Program are exempt under Rule 16b-3(c). Share amounts will vary based on unitized values provided by the Plan Trustee.

3. The nature of the indirect beneficial ownership of the shares shown in line 4 in item 4 on Table 1 consists of shares held for Mr. Yegnashankaran's account by the rabbi trust utilized by the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan, a non tax qualified defined contribution plan. Shares acquired under the Plan are exempt under Rule 16b-3(d).

4. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of National Semiconductor's common stock.
