Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors

WHEREAS, Teradyne, Inc. (the “Company”) is desirous of offering its Non-employee Directors the option of deferring the receipt of their retainers and any and all other applicable compensation and fees.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby adopts the Teradyne, Inc. Deferral Plan for Non-employee Directors (the “Plan”) as set forth below effective January 1, 2001.

All Non-employee Directors of the Company are eligible to participate in this Plan. If a subsidiary wishes to participate in the Plan, the Board of Directors of the subsidiary shall adopt a resolution authorizing participation by the subsidiary in the Plan.

Each Non-employee Director may elect or defer, on a year by year basis, the receipt of 100% of his or her retainer and any and all other fees and compensation related to the position as a Non-employee Director that would otherwise be payable to the Non-employee Director for a Plan Year.

Each Non-employee Director who elects to participate in this Plan for any Plan Year must complete a Deferral Election Form no later than the December 1 prior to the first day of such Plan Year. For the first Plan Year, Non-employee Directors who elect to participate must complete a Deferral Election Form as soon as administratively possible prior to December 15, 2000. Such annual elections are irrevocable with respect to the Plan Year to which they relate.

Non-employee Directors who do not timely complete a Deferral Election Form for any Plan Year shall not be allowed to participate herein for such Plan Year and shall receive the retainer and any and all other applicable compensation and fees to which they become entitled during such Plan Year with respect to their position as a Non-Employee Director in accordance with the Company’s customary practices.

Deferral amounts shall, as elected annually by the Non-employee Director, be invested in one of the following:

Deferral amounts will be deemed to have been contributed to the Plan on the day such amounts would have been payable to the Non-employee Director in accordance with the Company’s customary practices, but for his irrevocable election to defer payment.

No Participant shall be entitled to any voting rights or to receive any dividends with respect to any amounts deferred to the DSU account.

The value of the amounts deferred shall be distributed in a single payment within 90 days of the date the Non-employee Director no longer serves as such.

Amounts credited to a Participant’s notional cash account are distributable only in cash.

Amounts credited to a Participant’s DSU account are distributable in the common stock of the Company. Any fractional shares in the DSU account, however, are distributable in cash at the Company’s discretion based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, on the date of payment. Shares delivered on any payment date may be either Treasury shares or authorized and unissued shares or both.

The Board of Directors may amend or terminate this Plan at any time provided that no such action shall adversely affect any right or obligation with respect to any amounts deferred prior to such termination or amendment.

As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, then if the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares then held in a Participant’s DSU account, then such adjustments shall be made by the Company and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

A Participant’s right and interest under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred. In the case of a Participant’s death, payments of the Participant’s Account due under this Plan shall be made to his designated beneficiary, or in the absence of such designation, to his estate.

Any amounts deferred under this Plan shall remain the assets of the Company until paid in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, and in the event of the Company’s insolvency, will be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. In the event of the Company’s insolvency, a Participant shall be a general creditor of the Company with respect to his or her claim for benefits hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer and impressed with its corporate seal.
