TERADYNE, INC.

FORM 10-K

PART I

 

Item 1: Business

We are a leading global supplier of automatic test equipment.

Our automatic test equipment products and services include:

 

   

semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”);

 

   

circuit-board test and inspection systems, military/aerospace (“Mil/Aero”) test instrumentation and systems and automotive diagnostic and test systems (“Systems Test Group”)

On January 24, 2008, we completed our acquisition of Nextest Systems Corporation (“Nextest”) for an estimated net purchase price of $325 million. This estimated purchase price is net of the cash acquired and includes the fair value of fully vested employee equity instruments and transaction costs. Nextest designs, develops, manufactures, sells and services low-cost, high throughput automated test equipment systems for the semiconductor industry. Nextest competes in the flash memory, flash card, and flash memory based system-on-chip (“SOC”) markets. Their products are used to test integrated circuits such as microcontrollers, image sensors, smart cards and field programmable logic devices. Nextest will be included within our Semiconductor Test segment. See “Note U: Subsequent Events” in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the acquisition.

On August 1, 2007, we completed the sale of our broadband test products business (“Broadband Test Division”), that provides test systems for testing lines and qualifying lines for Digital Subscriber Line (“DSL”) telephone networks, to Tollgrade Communications, Inc. (“Tollgrade”).

On November 30, 2005, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of our interconnection systems products business that designs and manufactures backplane systems, printed circuit boards and high-speed, high-density connectors (“Connection Systems”), including the capital stock of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Teradyne Connection Systems (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., Teradyne Connection Sys. De Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Teradyne Ireland Ltd., to Amphenol Corporation pursuant to an asset and stock purchase agreement, dated as of October 10, 2005, between Teradyne and Amphenol, as amended.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), we are reporting Connection Systems and Broadband Test Division as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. See “Note E: Discontinued Operations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Connection Systems and Broadband Test Division divestitures. Unless indicated otherwise, amounts provided throughout this Form 10-K relate to continuing operations only.

On March 7, 2007, we purchased in-process enabling test technology and hired certain engineers from MOSAID Technologies Inc. for $17.6 million, which includes $0.6 million in fees directly related to the acquisition. Of the purchase price, $16.7 million has been allocated to in-process research and development and therefore has been immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.

This technology was purchased for the development of a new semiconductor test product. As of the acquisition date, the technology had not reached technical feasibility, had no alternative future use and its fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability, and therefore has been classified as in-process research and development. The technology is unique to the semiconductor test market and requires significant development. The estimated fair value of the in-process technology was determined based on the use of a discounted cash flow model using an income approach. Estimated cash flows were probability adjusted to take into account the stage

of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization of the in-process technology. Such a valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process project as well as the estimated cash flows to be generated as a result of completing the project development.

Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K which are not historical facts, or so called “forward-looking statements,” are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors described in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and those risks detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Products

Semiconductor Test

We design, manufacture, sell and support Semiconductor Test products and services on a world wide basis. The test systems we provide are used both for wafer level and device package testing. These chips are used in automotive, communications, consumer, computer and electronic game applications, among others. Semiconductor devices span a broad range of functionality, from very simple low-cost devices such as appliance microcontrollers, operational amplifiers or voltage regulators to complex digital signal processors and microprocessors. Semiconductor Test products and services are sold to Integrated Device Manufacturers (“IDMs”) that integrate the fabrication of silicon wafers into their business, “Fabless” companies that outsource the manufacturing of silicon wafers, “Foundries” that cater to the processing and manufacturing of silicon wafers, and subcontractors (“Subcons”) that provide test and assembly services for the final packaged devices to both Fabless companies and IDMs. Fabless companies perform the design of integrated circuits without manufacturing capabilities, and use Foundries for wafer manufacturing and Subcons for test and assembly. These customers obtain the overall benefit of both comprehensively testing devices and reducing the total costs associated with testing by using our Semiconductor Test systems to:

 

   

improve and control product quality;

 

   

measure and improve product performance;

 

   

reduce time to market; and

 

   

increase production yields.

We have made significant investments in the last several years to introduce the new FLEX™ Test Platform Architecture. The FLEX Test Platform Architecture advances our core technologies to produce test equipment

 

3


that is designed for high efficiency multi-site testing. Multi-site testing involves the simultaneous testing of more devices and functions in parallel. Leading semiconductor manufacturers are using multi-site testing to significantly improve their “Cost of Test” economics. The FLEX Test Platform architecture addresses customer requirements through four key capabilities:

1) A high efficiency multi-site architecture that eliminates tester overhead such as instrument setup, synchronization and data movement, and signal processing;

2) The IG-XL™ software operating system which provides fast program development, including instant conversion from single to multi-site test;

3) Broad technology coverage by instruments designed to cover the range of test parameters, coupled with a Universal Slot test head design that allows easy test system reconfiguration to address changing test needs; and

4) An open architecture design (OpenFLEX) which complements the FLEX Test Platform’s broad set of high-density instrumentation by allowing third parties and customers to create customized test instrumentation that can further enhance system performance and test economics.

FLEX Test Platform purchases are being made by IDMs, Subcons and Fabless customers. The FLEX Test Platform has become a widely used test solution at Subcons and test houses by providing versatile testers that can handle the widest range of devices, allowing Subcons to leverage their capital investments. The broad consumer, automotive and broadband markets have been driving most of the device volume growth in the semiconductor industry. These markets include cell phones, set top boxes, HDTVs, game controllers, computer graphics, and automotive controllers to name a few. These end use markets are continuing to be a strong growth driver for the FLEX Test Platform family of products because they require a wide range of technologies and instrument coverage. The FLEX Test Platform has an installed base of more than 1,500 customer systems to date.

Our J750 test system shares the IG-XL software environment with the family of FLEX Test Platform systems. The J750 is designed to address the highest volume semiconductor devices such as microcontrollers that are central to the functionality of almost every consumer electronics product, from small appliances to automotive engine controllers. J750 test systems combine compact packaging, high throughput and ease of production test. These benefits are possible due to the high level of integration in the design. A single circuit board in the J750 test system provides up to 64 digital input/output channels. We extended the J750 platform technology to create the IP750 Image Sensor test system. The IP750 is focused on testing image sensor devices used in digital cameras and other imaging products. The J750 platform has an installed base of over 2,500 systems and it continues to grow.

We continued to invest in the J750 platform with a set of J750Ex instrumentation that was released in 2007, with additional instrument releases planned for 2008. These instruments are bringing new capabilities to existing market segments and expanding the J750 platform to critical new devices that include high end microcontroller, LCD drivers, and the latest generation of cameras. These new J750Ex instruments are designed to be compatible with our customer’s existing hardware and software investments and deliver industry leading parallel test economics while providing customers with flexibility to address next generation functional requirements.

Systems Test Group

Our Systems Test Group segment is comprised of 3 business units: Military/Aerospace (“Mil/Aero”) Test, Commercial Board Test, and Diagnostic Solutions.

Mil/Aero Test

Our expertise in the test and diagnosis of printed circuit boards (“PCB”) and subsystems has proven to be essential in supporting the ever-demanding military and aerospace markets. Our test solutions for these markets include high-performance systems, instruments and software solutions that manufacturers and repair depots depend on to ensure the readiness of commercial and military electronic systems.

 

4


New programs from tactical aircraft to missile systems, as well as widespread enhancement programs, continue to fuel the demand for high performance test systems. We are a leading provider of test instrumentation and systems with performance well suited to the demands of military/aerospace electronics manufacturers and repair depots worldwide. Success in this market is illustrated by our penetration into major Department of Defense programs across all U.S. military service branches and many allied military services worldwide.

Commercial Board Test

We also produce a variety of test and inspection systems sold to many of the industry’s leading PCB original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Subcons around the world. Because today’s PCBs and electronic assemblies handle more functionality than ever before, they contain highly integrated circuits and more complex components that operate faster, use lower voltages and are more susceptible to assembly problems. Our assembly test and inspection systems combine the advanced diagnostic hardware and operating software needed to ensure product quality, sustain high manufacturing yield, verify functional operation, diagnose faults and effectively reduce manufacturing costs. Our products are sold to the electronics manufacturers of cell phones, servers, computers, Internet switches, automobiles and military avionics systems worldwide.

In-Circuit Test Systems

We manufacture in-circuit test (“ICT”) systems that are used to assess electrical interconnections, verify interoperation and find faulty circuits aboard fully assembled and soldered PCBs. Fast, accurate and cost-effective diagnostic capabilities are hallmark features of our ICT systems, including the TestStation™ and Spectrum™ product families used in a variety of in-line, high-volume PCB test applications. These systems are also used in sample test environments for prototype testing and early-stage PCB design and development. Supporting technologies such as our patented SafeTest™ technology allow TestStation users to safely troubleshoot the low-voltage components and interconnects commonly found in battery-powered portable consumer electronics and low-power commercial equipment. In addition to standard ICT equipment, we offer combinational test platforms and handler-ready in-line test systems for high-volume board manufacturing.

Imaging Inspection Systems

PCB assembly trends are expected to force board manufacturers to reassess their inspection strategies. Due to the growing use of highly integrated system on chips and higher density double-sided boards, a high percentage of all solder connections are invisible to optical inspection systems. Combine this growing loss of visual and electrical access with the difficulties associated with detecting lead-free solder voids on double-sided boards, and the inspection problem is compounded. Our newly introduced Xstation™ MX, a fully Automated X-Ray Inspection (“AXI”) system, addresses these problems when inspecting PCBs for manufacturing defects, including improper component placement and orientation, electrical opens and shorts and a host of other board quality issues. The Xstation MX uses ClearVue™, a patented three-dimensional X-Ray imaging technique, to more accurately detect subtle defects and manufacturing flaws, even as board complexities grow.

Diagnostic Solutions

We provide electronic test and diagnostic systems to the automotive OEMs and their major subcontractors. The systems are used throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle from design through manufacture to after sale service and consist of highly integrated software and hardware components. As the number and complexity of electronic systems and embedded software proliferate in vehicles, the ability to manufacture and service those vehicles becomes increasingly dependent on electronic diagnostic equipment. Our Diagnostic Solutions’ products fall into two categories:

OEM Service Diagnostics

OEM dealer service technicians use our systems to find faults in vehicles in use by their customers, and to reduce OEM warranty costs. Historically, the focus has been on fixing faults in the service bay, but is now growing to include the programming of vehicle software.

 

5


Vehicle Configuration and Test Solutions

Our VCATS™ products are used on automotive and major automotive subassembly production lines. These products connect to the vehicle to test and program or “configure” the electronic systems on vehicles. These vehicle electronic systems include engine control modules and subsystems such as braking, navigation and climate control. Our VCATS products are also able to link to an OEM’s manufacturing control system in order to provide statistical quality reports to operators and management.

Both VCATS and OEM Service Diagnostics products utilize our GRADE-X™ authoring software enabling the manufacturing and service phases of vehicle development. Diagnostics for electronic modules and systems used on vehicles of our customers can be developed and written using the GRADE-X authoring software. The actual diagnosis of a customer’s vehicle occurs in the OEM dealer’s service bay utilizing a runtime portion of the software to facilitate the service and repair of the vehicle.

Discontinued Operations

On August 1, 2007, our Broadband Test Division business was sold to Tollgrade Communications, Inc. This business provided test systems for testing lines and qualifying lines for DSL telephone networks. On November 30, 2005, our Connection Systems business was sold to Amphenol Corporation. This business designed and manufactured high-performance connection systems including backplane systems, printed circuit boards and high-speed, high-density connectors. Connection Systems and Broadband Test Division have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

Sales are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customer site.

See also “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and “Note G: Financial Instruments” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Competition

We face significant competition throughout the world in each of our reportable segments. These competitors include, among others, Advantest Corporation, Verigy Inc., Credence Systems Corporation, LTX Corporation and Eagle Test Systems, Inc. Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. We also face competition from internal suppliers at several of our customers. Some of our competitors have introduced or announced new products with certain performance characteristics which may be considered equal or superior to those we currently offer. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and to introduce new products or new technologies that provide improved cost of ownership and performance characteristics. See also “Item 1A: Risk Factors.”

Backlog

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, our backlog of unfilled orders in our two reportable segments was as follows:

 

     2007    2006
     (in millions)

Semiconductor Test

   $ 236.2    $ 212.4

Systems Test Group

     102.5      120.2
             
   $ 338.7    $ 332.6

Of the backlog at December 31, 2007, approximately 97% of the Semiconductor Test backlog and 96% of Systems Test Group backlog is expected to be delivered in 2008.

Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without significant notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellation of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in delivery schedules and/or cancellations of backlog during any particular period could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Raw Materials

Our products contain electronic and mechanical components that are provided by a wide range of suppliers. Certain of these components are standard products, while others are manufactured to our specifications. We can experience occasional delays in obtaining timely delivery of certain items. While the majority of our components are available from multiple suppliers, certain items are obtained from sole sources. We may experience a temporary adverse impact if any of our sole source suppliers delays or ceases to deliver products.

 

7


Intellectual Property and Licenses

The development of our products, both hardware and software, is based in significant part on proprietary information, our brands and technology. We protect our rights in proprietary information, brands and technology through various methods, such as:

 

   

patents;

 

   

copyrights;

 

   

trademarks;

 

   

trade secrets;

 

   

standards of business conduct and related business practices; and

 

   

technology license agreements, software license agreements, non-disclosure agreements, employment agreements, and other agreements.

However, these protections might not be effective in all circumstances. Competitors might independently develop similar technology or exploit our proprietary information and our brands in countries where we lack enforceable intellectual property rights or where enforcement of such rights through the legal system provides an insufficient deterrent. Also, intellectual property protections can lapse or be invalidated through appropriate legal processes. We do not believe that any single piece of intellectual property or proprietary rights is essential to our business.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 3,600 people. Since the inception of our business, we have experienced no work stoppages or other labor disturbances. We have no collective bargaining contracts.

Engineering and Development Activities

The highly technical nature of our products requires a large and continuing engineering and development effort. Engineering and development expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $204.3 million, $202.4 million and $216.4 million, respectively. These expenditures amounted to approximately 19%, 15% and 21% of consolidated net revenue in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Environmental Affairs

We are subject to various federal, state, and local government laws and regulations relating to the protection of employee health and safety and the environment. We accrue for all known environmental liabilities when it becomes probable that we will incur cleanup costs and those costs can reasonably be estimated. The amounts accrued do not cover sites that are in the preliminary stages of investigation. Estimated environmental costs are not expected to materially affect the financial position or results of our operations in future periods. However, estimates of future costs are subject to change due to protracted cleanup periods and changing environmental remediation laws and regulations.

CEO Certification

An annual CEO certification was filed with the New York Stock Exchange on May 24, 2007 in accordance with its listing standards.

Item 1A: Risk Factors.

Risks Associated with Our Business

We are subject to intense competition.

We face significant competition throughout the world in each of our reportable segments. Some of our competitors have substantial financial and other resources to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. We also face competition from internal suppliers at several of our customers. Some of our competitors have introduced or announced new products with certain performance characteristics which

 

9


may be considered equal or superior to those we currently offer. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and to introduce new products or new technologies that provide improved cost of ownership and performance characteristics. New product introductions by competitors could cause a decline in revenues or loss of market acceptance of our products. Moreover, increased competitive pressure could lead to intensified price based competition, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for electronics, which historically has been highly cyclical.

Our business and results of operations depend in significant part upon capital expenditures of manufacturers of semiconductors and other electronics, which in turn depend upon the current and anticipated market demand for those products. The market demand for electronics is impacted by economic slowdowns. Historically, the electronics and semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical with recurring periods of over-supply, which often have had a severe negative effect on demand for test equipment, including systems we manufacture and market. We believe that the markets for newer generations of electronic products such as those that we manufacture and market will also be subject to similar fluctuations. We are dependent on the timing of orders from our customers, and the deferral or cancellation of previous customer orders could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot assure that the level of revenues or new orders for a calendar quarter will be sustained in subsequent quarters. In addition, any factor adversely affecting the electronics industry or particular segments within the electronics industry may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly.

Our annual operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially adversely affect revenues and profitability.

The following factors are expected to impact future operations:

 

   

competitive pressures on selling prices;

 

   

our ability to introduce and the market acceptance of new products in 2008 and beyond;

 

   

changes in product revenue mix resulting from changes in customer demand;

 

   

the level of orders received which can be shipped in a quarter resulting from the tendency of customers to wait until late in a quarter to commit to purchase due to capital expenditure approvals and constraints occurring at the end of a quarter, or the hope of obtaining more favorable pricing from a competitor seeking the business;

 

   

engineering and development investments relating to new product introductions in 2008 and beyond, and the expansion of manufacturing, outsourcing and engineering operations in Asia;

 

   

the ability of our suppliers and subcontractors to meet product quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for our products, especially if product demand increases rapidly;

 

   

provisions for excess and obsolete inventory relating to the lack of demand for and the discontinuance of products;

 

   

impairment charges for certain long-lived assets; and

 

   

parallel or multi-site testing could lead to a decrease in the ultimate size of the market for our products.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we have and may continue to experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

 

10


We are subject to risks of operating internationally.

A significant portion of our total revenue is derived from customers outside the United States. Our international sales and operations are subject to significant risks and difficulties, including:

 

   

unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements affecting international markets;

 

   

changes in tariffs and exchange rates;

 

   

social, political and economic instability, acts of terrorism and international conflicts;

 

   

difficulties in protecting intellectual property;

 

   

difficulties in accounts receivable collection;

 

   

cultural differences in the conduct of business;

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and

 

   

compliance with customs regulations.

In addition, an increasing portion of our products and the products we purchase from our suppliers are sourced or manufactured in foreign locations, including China, and a large portion of the devices our products test are fabricated and tested by foundries and subcontractors in Taiwan, Singapore, China and other parts of Asia. As a result, we are subject to a number of economic and other risks, particularly during times of political or financial instability in these regions. Disruption of manufacturing or supply sources in these international locations could materially adversely impact our ability to fill customer orders and potentially result in lost business.

If we fail to develop new technologies to adapt to our customers’ needs and if our customers fail to accept our new products, our revenues will be adversely affected.

We believe that our technological position depends primarily on the technical competence and creative ability of our engineers. In a rapidly evolving market, such as ours, the development of new technologies, commercialization of those technologies into products and market acceptance and customer demand for those products are critical to our success. Successful product development, introduction and acceptance depend upon a number of factors, including:

 

   

new product selection;

 

   

ability to meet customer requirements;

 

   

development of competitive products by competitors;

 

   

timely and efficient completion of product design;

 

   

timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing and manufacturing processes;

 

   

timely remediation of product performance issues, if any, identified during testing;

 

   

assembly processes and product performance at customer locations;

 

   

differentiation of our products from our competitors’ products; and

 

   

management of customer expectations concerning product capabilities and product life cycles.

If our suppliers do not meet product or delivery requirements, we could have reduced revenues and earnings.

Certain components, including semiconductor chips, may be in short supply from time to time because of high industry demand or the inability of some vendors to consistently meet our quality or delivery requirements. Approximately 30% of material purchases require some custom work where having multiple suppliers would be cost prohibitive. If any of our suppliers were to cancel contracts or commitments or fail to meet the quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for our products, we could lose time-sensitive customer orders and have significantly decreased revenues and earnings, which would have a material adverse effect on

 

11


our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we rely on contract manufacturers for certain subsystems used in our products, and our ability to meet customer orders for those products depends upon the timeliness and quality of the work performed by these subcontractors, over whom we do not exercise any control.

To a certain extent, we are dependant upon the ability of our suppliers and contractors to help meet increased product or delivery requirements. Many of our suppliers have implemented cost reduction strategies, just as we have, to address the slowdowns in the market. It may be difficult for these suppliers to meet delivery requirements in a period of rapid growth, therefore impacting our ability to meet our customers demands.

We rely on the financial strength of our suppliers. There can be no assurance that the loss of suppliers either as a result of financial viability, bankruptcy or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our operations may be adversely impacted if our outsourced contract manufacturers or service providers fail to perform.

We depend on Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics”) to manufacture and test our FLEX family of products from their facility in China. If for any reason Flextronics cannot provide us with these products in a timely fashion, or at all, we may not be able to sell these products to our customers until we enter a similar arrangement with an alternative contract manufacturer. If we experience a problem with our supply of products from Flextronics, it may take us significant time to either manufacture the product or find an alternate contract manufacturer, which could result in substantial expense and disruption to our business.

We have also outsourced a number of our general and administrative functions, including information technology, to reputable service providers, many of which are in foreign countries, sometimes impacting communication with them because of language and time difficulties. Their presence in foreign countries also increases the risk they could be exposed to political risk. Additionally, there may be difficulties encountered in coordinating the outsourced operations with existing functions and operations. If we fail in successfully coordinating and managing the outsourced service providers, it may cause an adverse affect on our operations which could result in a decline in our stock price.

We may incur higher tax rates than we expect.

We are subject to paying income taxes in the United States and various other countries where we operate. Our effective tax rate is dependent on where our earnings are generated and the tax regulations and the interpretation and judgment of administrative tax or revenue entities in the United States and such other countries. We have pursued a global tax strategy which could adversely be affected by our failure to expand operations or earnings in certain countries, the mix of earnings and tax rates in the countries where we operate, changes to tax laws or an adverse tax ruling by administrative entities. We are also subject to tax audits in the countries where we operate. Any material assessment resulting from an audit from an administrative tax or revenue entity could also negatively affect our financial results.

We may continue to acquire new businesses or form strategic alliances in the future, and we may not always realize the benefits of such acquisitions.

In January 2008, we acquired Nextest Systems Corporation. We may continue to acquire additional businesses, form strategic alliances or create joint ventures with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing businesses. If we acquire businesses or technologies, we may not be able to realize the benefit of acquiring such businesses if we are unable to successfully integrate it with our existing operations and company culture. We may have difficulty in developing, manufacturing and marketing the products of a newly acquired company that enhances the performance of our combined businesses or product lines to realize value from expected synergies. We cannot assure that, following an acquisition, we will achieve the revenue or net income levels that justify the acquisition. Additionally we may fund the acquisition of new businesses, strategic alliances or joint ventures by utilizing our cash, raising debt, issuing shares of our common stock, or by other means. The financing of such transactions may affect our stock price or significantly dilute our shareholders.

 

12


We have taken measures to ensure that we are prepared to address slowdowns in the market for our products, which could have long-term negative effects on our business or impact our ability to adequately address a rapid increase in customer demand.

We have taken, and continue to take, measures to ensure that we are prepared to address slowdowns in the market for our products. These measures include shifting more of our operations to lower cost regions, outsourcing manufacturing processes, divesting of certain businesses, implementing material cost reduction programs and reducing planned capital expenditures and expense budgets. We cannot assure that the measures we have taken will not impair our ability to effectively develop and market products, to remain competitive in the industries in which we compete, to operate effectively, to operate profitably during slowdowns or to effectively meet a rapid increase in customer demand. These measures may have long-term negative effects on our business by reducing our pool of technical talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in our products, making it more difficult to hire and retain talented individuals and to quickly respond to customers or competitors in an upward cycle.

We may incur significant liabilities if we fail to comply with environmental regulations.

We are subject to both domestic and international environmental regulations and statutory strict liability relating to the use, storage, discharge, site cleanup and disposal of hazardous chemicals used in our manufacturing processes. If we fail to comply with present and future regulations, or are required to perform site remediation, we could be subject to future liabilities or the suspension of production. Present and future regulations may also:

 

   

restrict our ability to expand facilities;

 

   

restrict our ability to ship certain products into the European Union or elsewhere;

 

   

require us to modify our operations logistics;

 

   

require us to acquire costly equipment; or

 

   

require us to incur other significant costs and expenses.

Pursuant to present regulations and agreements, we are conducting groundwater and subsurface assessment and monitoring and are implementing remediation and corrective action plans for facilities located in California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire which are no longer conducting manufacturing operations. As of December 31, 2007, we have not incurred material costs as result of the monitoring and remediation steps taken at the California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire sites.

On January 27, 2003, the European Union adopted the following directives: (i) the directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “RoHS Directive”); and (ii) the directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “WEEE Directive”). The WEEE Directive became effective August 13, 2005 and the RoHS Directive became effective on July 6, 2006. Both the RoHS Directive and the WEEE Directive alter the form and manner in which electronic equipment is imported, sold and handled in the European Union. Other jurisdictions, such as China, have followed the European Union’s lead in enacting legislation with respect to hazardous substances and waste removal. Ensuring compliance with the RoHS Directive, the WEEE Directive and similar legislation in other jurisdictions, and integrating compliance activities with our suppliers and customers could result in additional costs and disruption to operations and logistics and thus, could have a negative impact on our business, operations and financial condition.

We currently are and in the future may be subject to litigation that could have an adverse effect on our business.

From time to time, we may be subject to litigation or other administrative and governmental proceedings that could require significant management time and resources and cause us to incur expenses and, in the event of

 

13


an adverse decision, pay damages in an amount that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

For example, in connection with our August 2000 acquisition of each of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc., a complaint was filed on or about September 5, 2001 by the former owners of those companies naming as defendants Teradyne and two of our then executive officers. Additionally, in 2001, we were designated as a “potentially responsible party” at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim also arises out of our acquisition of Perception Laminates in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement dated October 20, 1992. These matters are further described in “Item 3: Legal Proceedings.”

We have significant guarantees and indemnification obligations.

From time to time we make guarantees to customers regarding the performance of our products and guarantee certain indebtedness, performance obligations or lease commitments of our subsidiary and affiliate companies. We also have agreed to provide indemnification to our officers, directors, employees and agents, to the extent permitted by law, arising from certain events or occurrences while the officer, director, employee or agent, is or was serving at our request in such capacity. If we become liable under any of these obligations, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. For additional information see “Note K: Commitments and Contingencies—Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a valuable asset or may incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

We protect the technology that is incorporated in our products (“IP”) in several ways, including through patent, copyright, and trade secret protection and by contractual agreement. However, even with these protections, our IP may still be challenged, invalidated or subject to other infringement actions. While we believe that our IP has value in the aggregate, no single element of our IP is in itself essential. If a significant portion of our IP is invalidated or ineffective, our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we receive notifications from time to time that we may be in violation of patents held by others. An assertion of patent infringement against us, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our products, or require a significant use of management resources and necessitate a lengthy and expensive defense which could adversely affect our operating results.

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees.

Competition for employees with skills we require is intense in the high technology industry. Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain key technical employees. The loss of one or more key or other employees, a decrease in our inability to attract additional qualified employees, or the delay in hiring key personnel could each have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our business is impacted by worldwide economic cycles, which are difficult to predict.

Capital equipment providers in the electronics and semiconductor industries, such as Teradyne, have, in the past, been negatively impacted by sudden slowdowns in the global economies, and resulting reductions in customer capital investments. The duration of slowdowns in global economies and reductions in customer capital investments, which may adversely impact our business, are difficult to predict.

Acts of war, terrorist attacks and the threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks may adversely impact our business.

Acts of war and terrorist attacks may cause damage or disruption to our employees, facilities, customers, suppliers and distributors which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation or

 

14


financial condition. As we, our outsourced manufacturing providers and our suppliers sell and manufacture products both in the United States and internationally, the threat of future terrorist attacks could lead to changes in security and operations at these locations which could increase our operating costs and which may adversely affect our business. Such conflicts may also cause damage or disruption to transportation and communication systems. We have completed some emergency preparedness planning and have a business continuity plan in case some of these events occur. However, we cannot be certain that our plans will be effective in the event of a disaster or other situation. All of these conditions make it difficult for us, and our customers, to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Provisions of our charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult.

During 2007, we made several important corporate governance changes, which included, declassification of our Board of Directors, adoption of majority voting standard for the election of our directors, and early termination of our shareholder rights plan. Despite these changes, there are still provisions in our basic corporate documents and under Massachusetts law that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, even if a change in control may be regarded as beneficial to some or all of our stockholders.

Item 3: Legal Proceedings

On September 5, 2001, after our August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc., the former owners of those companies filed a complaint against Teradyne and two of our then executive officers in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California, asserting securities fraud and breach of contract related to the acquisition. The District Court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, granted partial summary judgment against them with respect to their breach of contract claim and denied their motion for reconsideration. In July 2007, after an appeal by the plaintiffs, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the District Court rulings. We petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing of the ruling that it reversed. In October 2007, the Ninth Circuit denied our petition for rehearing. We will continue to defend the claim that was sent back to the District Court.

In 2001, we were designated as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arose out of our acquisition of Perception Laminates in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement in 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. We have asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.

We believe that we have meritorious defenses against the above unsettled claims and intend to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of the unsettled claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, we believe the potential losses associated with all of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its consolidated results of operations of any one period.

In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Although there can be no assurance, there are no such matters pending that we expect to be material with respect to its business, financial position or results of operations.

Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to the historical information contained in this document, the discussion in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, made pursuant to Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these and any other forward-looking statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include those discussed below as well as those cautionary statements and other factors set forth in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the policies discussed below as critical to understanding our business and our results of operations and financial condition. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to inventories, investments, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, bad debts, income taxes, pensions, warranties,

 

18


contingencies, and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on appropriate and customary assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss have passed, delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss generally pass to our customers upon shipment or at delivery destination point. In circumstances where either title or risk of loss pass upon destination, acceptance or cash payment, we defer revenue recognition until such events occur.

Our equipment includes embedded software which is considered incidental to the product. Revenue is recognized upon shipment or at delivery destination point, provided that customer acceptance criteria can be demonstrated prior to shipment. Certain contracts require us to perform tests of the product to ensure that performance meets the published product specifications or customer requested specifications, which are generally conducted prior to shipment. Where the criteria cannot be demonstrated prior to shipment, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance has been received.

For multiple element arrangements we defer the fair value of any undelivered elements of the contract. We also defer the portion of the sales price that is not due until acceptance, which represents deferred profit. For a delivered item to be considered a separate unit, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there must be objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered items in the arrangement and the delivery or performance of the undelivered item must be considered probable and substantially in our control. Fair value is the price charged when the element is sold separately. Our post-shipment obligations include installation, training services, one-year standard warranties, and extended warranties. Installation does not alter the product capabilities, does not require specialized skills or tools and can be performed by the customers or other vendors. Installation is typically provided within five to fifteen days of product shipment and is completed within one to two days thereafter. Training services are optional and do not affect the customer’s ability to use the product. We defer revenue for the fair value of installation and training. Extended warranties constitute warranty obligations beyond one year and we defer revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin 90-1.

Our products are generally subject to warranty and related costs of the warranty are provided for in cost of revenue when product revenue is recognized. We classify shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue. Service revenue is recognized over the contractual period or as the services are performed.

We generally do not provide our customers with contractual rights of return for any of our products.

For transactions involving the sale of software which is not incidental to the product, revenue is recognized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 97-2”). We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. In instances where an arrangement contains multiple elements, revenue is deferred related to the undelivered elements to the extent that vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) exists for such elements. In instances where VSOE does not exist for one or more of the undelivered elements of an arrangement, all revenue related to the arrangement is deferred until all elements have been delivered. VSOE is the price charged when the element is sold separately. Revenue for the separate elements is only recognized where the functionality of the undelivered element is not essential to the delivered element.

 

19


For certain contracts eligible for contract accounting under SOP No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion accounting method based upon the percentage of incurred costs to estimated total costs. These arrangements require significant production, modification or customization. In all cases, changes to total estimated costs and anticipated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. With respect to contract change orders, claims or similar items, judgment must be used in estimating related amounts and assessing the potential for realization. Such amounts are only included in the contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is reasonably assured, generally upon receipt of a customer approved change order.

Inventories

Inventories, which include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. On a quarterly basis, we use consistent methodologies to evaluate all inventory for net realizable value. We record a provision for both excess and obsolete inventory when such write-downs or write-offs are identified through the quarterly review process. The inventory valuation is based upon assumptions about future demand, product mix and possible alternative uses. Our inventory balance at December 31, 2007 was $80.3 million, net of write-downs to net realizable value of $105.6 million.

Equity Incentive and Stock Purchase Plans

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and is calculated based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provision of SFAS 123R. As required by SFAS 123R, we have made an estimate of expected forfeitures and are recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based compensation awards expected to vest. The cumulative effect of the initial adoption of SFAS 123R was not material.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. We have applied provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123R. See “Note B: Accounting Policies” and “Note O: Stock Based Compensation” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

On May 26, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding, unvested “out of the money” stock options awarded to employees, officers and other eligible participants under our various stock option plans in effect at that time. The stock options that were accelerated had exercise prices that were in excess of $13.26, the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 26, 2005 and ranged in exercise price from $13.73 to $41.37 per share. As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase approximately 7.6 million shares became exercisable immediately and we reduced the compensation expense we otherwise would have been required to record under SFAS 123R by approximately $48.6 million in the aggregate on a pre-tax basis over fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and assess the need for a valuation allowance. As a result of its review undertaken at December 31, 2002, we concluded under applicable accounting criteria that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would not be realized

 

20


and established a valuation allowance in several jurisdictions, most notably the United States. Due to the continued uncertainty of realization, we maintained our valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 and 2006. This valuation allowance may reverse at some time in the future if management concludes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. We continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. Any reversal of the valuation allowance will result in an increase in our net income, but not to the full extent of the reversal in the quarter in which reversal of the tax asset valuation allowance is made.

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important in the determination of an impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner that we use the acquired asset and significant negative industry or economic trends. When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the associated risks. We assess goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded in an amount equal to that excess.

Results of Operations

Discontinued Operations

On August 1, 2007, we completed the sale of the Broadband Test Division to Tollgrade for $11.3 million in cash. Broadband Test Division had revenues for the seven month period ended July 31, 2007 of $11.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $20.6 million, and for the year ending December 31, 2005 of $30.1 million. Loss from discontinued operations of our Broadband Test Division for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $6.3 million, loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $5.5 million, and income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $3.2 million. In 2007, we recorded a gain on the sale of Broadband Test Division of $5.9 million, net of a tax provision of $0.4 million.

On November 30, 2005, we completed the sale of our Connection Systems to Amphenol Corporation for an adjusted purchase price of $384.7 million. Connection Systems had revenues for the eleven month period ended November 30, 2005 of $331.0 million. Loss from discontinued operations of Connection Systems for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $3.9 million, relating to a change in estimate to tax expenses from the sale. Under applicable accounting guidance, there is an offsetting tax benefit recorded in continuing operations for the same amount. This tax provision results from the finalization of the 2005 U.S. tax return. Income from Connection Systems through the date of sale in 2005 was $151.1 million, including a gain on sale of Connection Systems of $137.0 million, net of a tax provision of $31.0 million.

In accordance with SFAS 144, we are reporting Broadband Test Division and Connection Systems as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless indicated otherwise, the discussion and amounts provided in this “Results of Operations” section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K relate to continuing operations only.

   $ 1,107.9    $ 1,283.1    $ 1,141.1    $ (175.2 )   $ 142.0

The Semiconductor Test business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for test equipment, which historically has been highly cyclical. The Semiconductor Test bookings decrease of $112.9 million or 11% from 2006 to 2007 was driven by less demand across a wide range of end markets, applications and geographies, as SOC device units grew at a lower rate in 2007 than in 2006. This decrease was lessened by our Semiconductor Test increase in SOC market share during 2007 by approximately 2 to 3 points. The increase of $132.2 million or 15% in Semiconductor Test bookings from 2005 to 2006 was attributed to increased demand across a wide range of markets, as customers invested in SOC test equipment, principally in the first half of 2006. During 2006, the Flex family of testers moved into mainstream production and, along with the J750 platform, contributed to almost all of the growth experienced. We also saw a customer shift in orders from 2005 to 2006 with subcontractors making up a larger percentage of orders.

The Systems Test Group’s decrease of $62.3 million or 23% in orders from 2006 to 2007 was due to decreases in each business unit. Diagnostic Solutions orders are program related and have significant fluctuations. Bookings were down due to a large program rollout in 2006 for the Vehicle Measurement Module product line. Mil/Aero Test bookings are also often program related and bookings decreased in 2007 compared to 2006, as a significant military program concluded during 2007. Commercial Board Test bookings decreased in

 

22


2007 due to a contraction in the size of the ICT market. The Systems Test Group’s increase of $9.8 million or 4% in orders from 2005 to 2006 was primarily driven by demand in the Mil/Aero Test business due to the cyclical nature of the Mil/Aero Test program buys, offset slightly by a decrease in Diagnostic Solutions.

Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without significant notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. In 2007 and 2006, there were no significant cancellation penalties received. Due to possible changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of the actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in delivery schedules and/or cancellations of backlog during any particular period could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Semiconductor Test decrease in revenue of $212.4 million or 20% from 2006 to 2007 is due to SOC device units growing at a lower rate in 2007 compared to 2006. This decrease was lessened by our Semiconductor Test increase in SOC market share during 2007 by approximately 2 to 3 points. This resulted in decreased demand across a wide range of end markets, applications and geographies. Semiconductor Test revenue increase of $274.7 million or 34% from 2005 to 2006 can be attributed to increased demand across a wide range of markets, as customers invested in SOC test equipment. Almost the entire increase in 2006 is related to our FLEX family and J750 products and is distributed across all regions. The increase is partially offset by a decrease of certain non-FLEX test systems.

Systems Test Group revenue decrease of $41.5 million or 16% from 2006 to 2007 can be attributed to a decrease in Diagnostic Solutions sales, due to a large program rollout in 2006 for the Vehicle Measurement Module product line. The Systems Test Group increase of $36.4 million or 16% in revenue from 2005 to 2006 was driven by a strong increase in Diagnostic Solutions sales due primarily to the Vehicle Measurement Module product line.

Our two reportable segments accounted for the following percentages of consolidated net revenue for each of the last three years:

Although product revenue decreased $257.2 million or 23% in 2007 from 2006 due to SOC device units growing at a lower rate in 2007 compared to 2006, service revenue, which is derived from the servicing of our installed base of products, remained relatively flat from 2006. Service revenue includes maintenance contracts, repairs, extended warranties, parts sales and applications support.

In the past three years, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net revenue. In 2007, 2006, and 2005, our three largest customers in the aggregate accounted for 16%, 18% and 18% of consolidated net revenue, respectively.

The decrease in gross margin of 1.5 points from 2006 to 2007 was the result of several factors. A reduction in Semiconductor Test sales volume contributed to a decrease of 1.5 points. A shift in product mix, primarily related to higher service revenue as a percentage of total revenue, contributed to a decrease of 2 points. These decreases were offset by an increase of 1 point due to lower Semiconductor Test inventory provisions in 2007, and an increase of 1 point resulting from lower fixed costs and employee compensation across both segments.

The increase in gross margin of approximately 10 points from 2005 to 2006 was the result of several factors. An increase in Semiconductor Test sales volume contributed 4 points; a shift in product mix within Semiconductor Test contributed 2 points; an improvement in service margins, primarily within Semiconductor Test, contributed 2 points; the remaining 2 point increase was due to lower inventory provisions in 2006, as we recorded a $38.5 million charge for non-FLEX products in the Semiconductor Test segment in 2005, compared to an $8.0 million charge for non-FLEX products in 2006.

We assess the carrying value of our inventory on a quarterly basis by estimating future demand and comparing that demand against on-hand and on-order inventory positions. Forecasted revenue information is obtained from the sales and marketing groups and incorporates factors such as backlog and future revenue demand. This quarterly process identifies obsolete and excess inventory. Obsolete inventory, which represents items for which there is no demand, is fully reserved. Excess inventory, which represents inventory items that are not expected to be consumed during the next four quarters, is written-down to estimated net realizable value. These write-offs and write-downs consist of raw materials and components. Sales of previously reserved inventory items result in recovery of the related inventory provision, which is recorded in cost of revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we sold inventory previously reserved of $1.2 million, $2.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded inventory provisions of $1.8 million in cost of revenues of which $0.3 million was for excess inventory and $1.5 million was for obsolete inventory. Of the $1.8 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded, $0.5 million related to Semiconductor Test and $1.3 million related to Systems Test Group.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded inventory provisions of $12.8 million in cost of revenues of which $11.7 million was for excess inventory and $1.1 million was for obsolete inventory. Of the $12.8 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded, $11.5 million related to Semiconductor Test (including an $8.0 million provision for the write-down of excess non-FLEX inventory) and $1.3 million related to Systems Test Group.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded inventory provisions of $49.0 million in cost of revenues of which $36.9 million was for excess inventory and $12.1 million was for obsolete inventory. Of the $49.0 million of total excess and obsolete provisions recorded, $45.5 million related to Semiconductor Test (including a $38.5 million provision for the write-down of excess non-FLEX inventory) and $3.5 million related to Systems Test Group.

We scrapped $33.5 million, $29.5 million, and $34.1 million of inventory, which had been previously written-down or written-off, during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We have no set timeline for scrapping the remaining inventory that has been previously written-down to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had inventory reserves for amounts which have been written-down to net realizable value of $105.6 million and $138.4 million, respectively. Of the reserves at December 31, 2007, $1.8 million, $11.3 million, $46.9 million, and $45.6 million relate to inventory provisions recorded in 2007, 2006, 2005, and prior to 2005, respectively.

The increase of $1.9 million in engineering and development expenses from 2006 to 2007 was due in part to a $10.3 million increase in spending related to new products and entry into adjacent markets, primarily in the Semiconductor Test segment. This was partially offset by lower variable employee compensation of $8.4 million.

During 2006 and 2005, we reduced our levels of investment in engineering and development spending. More than 80% of our total engineering and development expenses are incurred by the Semiconductor Test segment, where a new test platform requires up to three years for development and costs between $150 and $250 million. During 2005, Semiconductor Test completed its UltraFLEX platform development and shifted its focus to increasing the instrumentation set on its FLEX Test Platform (UltraFLEX and FLEX) which requires lower levels of engineering and development expenditures.

The decrease of $14.0 million in engineering and development spending from 2005 to 2006 consists of the following amounts:

 

   

$25.4 million decrease due to a reduction in headcount primarily in the U.S., offset partially by an increase in engineering and development activities in low cost regions; and

 

   

$6.5 million decrease due to the completion of certain portions of the FLEX Test Platform engineering work.

These decreases were partially offset by the following:

 

   

$10.9 million increase due to higher variable employee compensation; and

 

   

$7.0 million increase due to stock based compensation.

$11.4 million increase due to stock based compensation.

These increases from 2005 to 2006 were partially offset by the following:

 

   

$6.7 million decrease due to a reduction in headcount; and

 

   

$1.3 million decrease in foreign exchange expense.

In-process Research and Development

On March 7, 2007, we purchased in-process enabling test technology and hired certain engineers from MOSAID Technologies Inc. for $17.6 million, which includes $0.6 million in fees directly related to the acquisition. Of the purchase price, $16.7 million has been allocated to in-process research and development and therefore has been immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.

This technology was purchased to be used in the development of a new semiconductor test product. As of the acquisition date, the technology had not reached technical feasibility, had no alternative future use and its fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability, and therefore has been classified as in-process research and development. The technology is unique to the semiconductor test market and requires significant development. The estimated fair value of the in-process technology was determined based on the use of a discounted cash flow model using an income approach. Estimated cash flows were probability adjusted to take into account the stage of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization of the in-process technology. Such a valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process project as well as the estimated cash flows to be generated as a result of completing the project development.

Restructuring and Other, Net

In response to a downturn in the industry, we initiated restructuring activities in 2002 across all segments to reduce costs and redundancies, principally through headcount reductions and facility consolidations. Further

 

27


actions were initiated in 2003, to a lesser extent in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Additionally, in 2005, 2006 and 2007 as part of our facility consolidation, we sold certain real estate. The tables below represent activity related to these actions. The remaining accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings account on the balance sheet. The remaining accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in the other accrued liabilities account and the long-term other accrued liabilities account and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. We expect to pay out approximately $2.2 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $7.8 million as of December 31, 2007. We have subleased approximately 55% of our unoccupied space as of December 31, 2007 and are actively attempting to sublease the remaining space.

For Pre-2005 restructuring activities, we recorded the following activity in 2007:

 

   

$0.9 million from earn-out payments received from the product line divestitures in the Systems Test Group.

 

   

$1.6 million related to changes in estimated sublease income and related facility costs from facilities previously exited by the Systems Test Group.

During February 2008, we implemented reduction-in-force activities across all reportable segments, functions and geographies. This will include a reduction of approximately 175 employees and a severance charge during the first quarter of 2008 of approximately $9.5 million. These actions are expected to result in annual savings of approximately $25 million.

Interest expense

   $ (0.7 )   $ (11.1 )   $ (16.2 )   $ 10.4     $ 5.1

The decrease in interest income from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to lower cash balances due to the stock repurchase activity in 2007. The increase in interest income from 2005 to 2006 was primarily attributable to higher cash balances primarily from the proceeds received from the divestiture of Connection Systems.

The decrease in interest expense from 2006 to 2007 was due primarily to the repayment of our 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) in 2006. The decrease in interest expense from 2005 to 2006 was due primarily to the repayment of Notes in the fourth quarter of 2006 and repurchases made earlier in the year.

The decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes from 2006 to 2007 was mainly due to the 20% reduction in revenue in the Semiconductor Test segment, which was a result of SOC device units growing at a lower rate in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase in Corporate from 2006 to 2007 is primarily related to the elimination of our interest expense due to the repayment of our Notes in 2006 and gains from sales of real estate which totaled $3.6 million. The change to an income position from 2005 to 2006 was mainly attributable to increased sales in Semiconductor Test and to a lesser extent gains on the sale of real estate, primarily in Semiconductor Test, and additional interest income, net included in Corporate of $32.0 million.

Income Taxes

During 2007, the income tax expense from continuing operations totaled $7.4 million. The expense relates primarily to tax provisions for foreign taxes offset by benefits related to the utilization of foreign tax credits in the U.S. During 2006, the income tax expense from continuing operations totaled $27.9 million. The expense relates primarily to a tax provision for foreign taxes offset by benefits from a $6.0 million credit related to U.S. pension funding and the settlement of a California income tax audit for 1998 through 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2005, there was a tax benefit from continuing operations that totaled $19.7 million. Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), a benefit for $29.2 million was recognized for losses

 

30


relating to 2005 continuing operations, as a result of the sale of Connection Systems. There was an equal and offsetting tax provision in the gain on sale of Connection System in discontinued operations. The remaining portion of the net tax benefit includes a tax provision that related primarily to foreign taxes.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of product lines and businesses sold and acquired, used cash of $44.2 million in 2007. This was due to a number of factors including, an increase in accounts receivable of $33.7 million due to an increase in days sales outstanding from 55 days in 2006 to 66 days in 2007, a reduction of accrued income taxes of $30.9 million due to the payments of 2006 foreign income taxes around the world, and an increase in other assets of $25.0 million primarily related to balances due for inventory provided to our outsourced subcontract manufacturer of $15.7 million. These uses of cash were offset by a decrease in our inventory balances due to shorter cycle times with our FLEX products. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of product lines and businesses sold and acquired, provided cash of $169.1 million in 2006

 

31


primarily due to a decrease of accounts receivable balances of $67.9 million resulting mostly from the decrease in sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Additionally, there was a decrease in inventory of $79.3 million due to shorter cycle times with our FLEX products, and an increase of $32.8 million in accrued income taxes due to higher foreign income taxes in 2006 compared to 2005. These providers of cash were partially offset by retirement plan contributions of $30.2 million of which $20.0 million was a contribution to our U.S. Qualified Pension Plan. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of product lines and businesses sold and acquired, used cash of $49.2 million in 2005 primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $58.7 million and retirement plan contributions of $40.1 million, partially offset by a $69.9 million decrease in inventory.

Investing activities consist of purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities, proceeds from the sale of businesses, proceeds from asset disposals, proceeds from the sale of product lines, cash paid for assets and purchases of capital assets. Capital expenditures were $86.1 million in 2007, $110.0 million in 2006, and $112.7 million in 2005. Capital expenditures decreased by $23.9 million in 2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to a decrease of internally manufactured systems for use in marketing and engineering activities in Semiconductor Test of approximately $18.1 million. The remainder of the decrease was attributable to lower purchases of manufacturing and engineering equipment across Teradyne. Proceeds from asset disposals were $8.8 million and $85.0 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively and primarily consist of sales of real estate. In March 2007, we bought an enabling technology from MOSAID Technologies Inc. for a purchase price and related costs totaling $17.6 million. Investing activities of discontinued operations provided $10.8 million of cash in 2007. Included in this balance is the net proceeds we received related to the sale of our Broadband Test Division to Tollgrade in August 2007. Investing activities of discontinued operations provided $366.4 million of cash in 2005 and includes the net proceeds related to our sale of Connection Systems to Amphenol Corporation in November 2005.

Financing activities include issuance of our common stock, repurchases of Teradyne’s common stock as well as repayments of debt. During 2006 and 2005, repayments of long-term debt used cash of $304.6 million and $98.7 million, respectively. Upon maturity in the fourth quarter of 2006, we paid off the outstanding balance of our outstanding Notes, which approximated $261 million aggregate principal. We also repurchased portions of our outstanding Notes in the first and third quarters of 2006, in the first and fourth quarters of 2005 and the third quarter of 2004. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, issuances of common stock under stock option and stock purchase plans generated $23.2 million, $23.3 million, and $34.7 million, respectively. In July 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program which was completed in October 2007. In total, $400 million of common stock was repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During 2006, we repurchased 10.6 million shares of common stock for $137.8 million for an average price per share of $12.98. During 2007, we repurchased 17.3 million shares of common stock for $262.2 million for an average price per share of $15.13. In November 2007, our Board of Directors authorized another stock repurchase program, allowing us to spend an aggregate of $400 million to repurchase shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2007, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock under this program for an average price per share of $11.66.

In October 2001, we issued $400 million principal amount of the Notes in a private placement and received net proceeds of $389 million. The Notes were convertible at the option of the holders at a rate which was equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $26.00 per share, which was equal to a conversion rate of approximately 38.4615 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. We made annual interest payments of $15 million, paid semi-annually, on the Notes commencing on April 15, 2002. In August 2004, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $100 million of the outstanding Notes in open market purchases at negotiated prices below 101.50% of the principal amount. The Board subsequently amended its authorization on October 21, 2005 to authorize repurchases through open market purchases, privately negotiated transaction, auctions, by redemption pursuant to the terms of the governing indenture or other means as determined by our CEO or CFO, at prices below 100.75% of the principal amount. The $100 million authorization for repurchase was fully utilized by management during the third quarter of 2004 and the first and fourth quarters of 2005 to repurchase $8.5 million, $20.0 million and $71.5 million of the Notes, respectively. The decision to repurchase a portion of the Notes was based on the fair market value of the Notes being below

 

32


the return we would earn on high grade investment securities. On January 26, 2006, management was given further authorization by our Board to repurchase up to the full $300 million of the principal amount that remained outstanding under the Notes through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and auctions for a price not to exceed 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. During 2006, we repurchased Notes of $15.0 million in the first quarter, $24.0 million in the third quarter, and we repaid the remaining $261 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Unrealized losses related to our marketable securities totaled $1.2 million at December 31, 2007. Approximately $33.7 million of our total investment portfolio of marketable securities were invested in debt securities that have an unrealized loss that has existed for greater than one year as of December 31, 2007. Of the securities, $15 million mature within the first quarter of 2008. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for anticipated recovery in market value. Based on our review, we have determined that the unrealized losses are temporary.

On January 24, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Nextest for an estimated purchase price of $325 million. This estimated purchase price is net of the cash acquired and includes the fair value of fully vested employee equity instruments and transaction costs.

We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at December 31, 2007 of $742.9 million will be sufficient to fund the acquisition of Nextest as well as meet the working capital and expenditure needs for at least the foreseeable future. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

Retirement Plans

We adopted the funded status recognition provision of SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2006. This standard amends SFAS 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires an employer with defined benefit plans or other postretirement benefit plans to recognize an asset or a liability on its balance sheet for the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans as defined by SFAS 158. The pension asset or liability represents the difference between the fair value of the pension plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation as of December 31. For other postretirement benefit plans, the liability is the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31.

Our pension expense, which includes the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, certain Qualified Plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries and a Supplemental Executive Defined Benefit Plan, was approximately $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The largest portion of our 2007 pension expense was $3.1 million for our Supplemental Executive Defined Benefit Plan. Pension expense is calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, a significant input to the actuarial models that measure pension benefit obligations. Two assumptions: discount rate and expected return on assets are important elements of pension plan expense and asset/liability measurement. We evaluate these critical assumptions at least annually on a plan and country specific basis. We evaluate other assumptions involving demographic factors, such as retirement age, mortality and turnover periodically, and update them to reflect our experience and expectations for the future.

In developing the expected return on plan assets assumption, we evaluated input from our investment manager and pension consultants, including their review of asset class return expectations. Based on this review, we believe that 7.75% was an appropriate rate to use for fiscal 2007. We will continue to evaluate the expected return on plan assets at least annually, and will adjust the rate as necessary. The current asset allocation for our U.S. Qualified Pension Plan is 46.3% invested in equity securities and 53.7% invested in fixed income securities, which is in accordance with the plan’s asset allocation requirements. Our actual asset allocation as of December 31, 2007 was virtually identical to the plan’s asset allocation model. Our investment manager regularly reviews the actual asset allocation and periodically rebalances the portfolio to ensure alignment with our targeted allocations.

We base our determination of pension expense or benefit on a market-related valuation of assets, which reduces year-to-year volatility. This market-related valuation recognizes investment gains or losses over a five-year period from the year in which they occur. Investment gains or losses for this purpose are the difference between the expected return calculated using the market-related value of assets and the actual return on assets. Since the market-related value of assets recognizes gains or losses over a five-year period, the future value of assets will be impacted as previously deferred gains or losses are recognized. As of December 31, 2007, under the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, we had cumulative gains of approximately $3.2 million, which remain to be recognized in the calculation of the market-related value of assets. The discount rate that we utilized for determining future pension obligations for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan is based on the Citigroup Pension Liability Index, which was 6.5% at December 31, 2007, up from 5.9% at December 31, 2006. As a result, we selected 6.5% for our December 31, 2007 discount rate, up from 6.0% as of December 31, 2006. The duration of the Citigroup Pension Liability Index at December 31, 2007 was 15.1 years, which approximates the duration of the portfolio of pension liabilities. We estimate that in 2008 we will recognize approximately $2.2 million of pension benefit for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan. The pension benefit estimate for 2008 is based on a 6.5% discount rate, and 7.75% return on Plan assets. Future pension expense or benefit will depend on future investment performance, changes in future discount rates and various other factors related to the employee population participating in our pension plans. As of December 31, 2007, we had unrecognized pension losses of $47.1 million, of which $34.2 million is for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan.

We performed a sensitivity analysis, which expresses the estimated U.S. Qualified Pension Plan pension expense (benefit) that would have resulted for the year ended December 31, 2007, if we changed either the discount rate or the expected return on plan assets.

The assets of the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities. The value of our U.S. Qualified Pension Plan assets has increased from $249.0 million at December 31, 2006 to $254.0 million at December 31, 2007. Our funding policy is to make contributions to the Pension Plan in accordance with local laws and to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. During 2007, there were no additional contributions made to the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, and we made $2.6 million of additional contributions to certain Qualified Plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. Based upon the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan funded status as of December 31, 2007, we do not expect to make any contributions to this plan in 2008. Contributions that will be made in 2008 to certain Qualified Plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries are based on local statutory requirements and will be approximately $2.4 million.

Equity Compensation Plans

In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in “Note O: Stock Based Compensation” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we have the 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”) under which equity securities are authorized for issuance. The 2006 Equity Plan was approved by stockholders on May 25, 2006. The 2006 Equity Plan replaces our 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, our 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, and our 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan, each of which were terminated upon the shareholders approval of the 2006 Equity Plan. We may not issue any additional option grants or awards under the terminated plans, but the options and awards previously granted and currently outstanding under these plans will remain in effect until the earlier of the date of their exercise, vesting or expiration.

(4) In connection with the acquisition of GenRad, Inc. in October 2001 (the “Acquisition”), we assumed the outstanding options granted under the GenRad, Inc. 1991 Equity Incentive Plan, the GenRad, Inc. 1991 Directors’ Stock Option Plan and the GenRad, Inc. 1997 Non-Qualified Employee Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “GenRad Plans”). Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, these options became exercisable for shares of our common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.1733 shares of our common stock for each share of GenRad’s common stock. No additional options will be granted pursuant to the GenRad Plans. As of December 31, 2007, there were outstanding options exercisable for an aggregate of 139,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the GenRad Plans, with a weighted average exercise price of $68.56 per share.

The purpose of the 2006 Equity Plan is to motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors by providing equity ownership and compensation opportunities in Teradyne. The aggregate number of shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan as of December 31, 2007 was 9,980,000 shares of our common stock. The 2006 Equity Plan authorizes the grant of stock-based awards in the form of (1) non-qualified and incentive stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards, (4) phantom stock, and (5) other stock-based awards. Awards may be tied to time-based vesting schedules and/or performance-based vesting measured by reference to performance criteria chosen by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which administers the 2006 Equity Plan. Awards may be made to any employee, officer, consultant and advisor of Teradyne and our subsidiaries, as well as, to our directors. The maximum number of shares of stock-based awards that may be granted to one participant during any one fiscal year is 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2006 Equity Plan will expire on May 24, 2016. In 2007 and 2006, we only issued restricted stock unit awards to our employees and directors.

As of December 31, 2007 total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards and options totaled $24.9 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.91 years.

Related Party Transaction

During 2007, Paul Tufano, a member of our Board of Directors, was Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Solectron Corporation until it was acquired by Flextronics in October 2007. Mr. Tufano is no longer an employee of Solectron or Flextronics. In the ordinary course of business, we have for the last ten years purchased printed circuit board assemblies from Solectron, and have also sold in-circuit testers to Solectron which we refer to as Flextronics. In August 2007, prior to the Flextronics acquisition, we expanded our contract with Solectron to have it provide additional manufacturing and test services, including areas of final configuration and test for most of our FLEX family of products. In the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we purchased $207.8 million, $229.9 million and $153.1 million of printed circuit board assemblies and services from Flextronics, respectively. Sales of in-circuit testers to Flextronics for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $4.0 million, $5.7 million and $5.7 million respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $19.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, was included in accounts payable and $17.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was included in accounts receivable, representing amounts due to/from Flextronics. We believe that these purchases and sales were made on terms and conditions that were fair and not less favorable than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

 

36


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) establishes new principles and requirements for how an acquiring company 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

 

Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments, forward currency contracts and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and marketable securities investments primarily in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities and corporate debt securities, rated A or higher, which have minimal credit risk. The overall weighted average portfolio quality will be maintained at a minimum of AA- or better at all times. We place forward currency contracts with high credit-quality financial institutions in order to minimize credit risk exposure. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of geographically dispersed customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and from time to time may require customers to provide a letter of credit from a bank to secure accounts receivable.

Exchange Rate Risk Management

We regularly enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the value of our net monetary assets in the European Euro, Great Britain Pound, Japanese Yen and the Taiwan Dollar. These foreign currency forward contracts have maturities of less than one year. These contracts are used to reduce our risk associated with exchange rate movements, as gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset exchange losses and gains on underlying exposures. In addition, we periodically hedge anticipated cash flow transactions with foreign currency forward contracts. The gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized in the same period as the hedged transaction is recognized in income. We do not engage in currency speculation.

We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in foreign exchange rates to the hedging contracts and the underlying exposures described above. As of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the analysis indicated that these hypothetical market movements would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We are exposed to potential loss due to changes in interest rates. The principal interest rate exposure is to changes in domestic interest rates. Investments with interest rate risk include short and long-term marketable securities.

In order to estimate the potential loss due to interest rate risk, a 10% fluctuation in interest rates was assumed. Market risk for the short and long-term marketable securities was estimated as the potential change in the fair value resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates for securities contained in the investment portfolio. On these bases, the potential change in fair value from changes in interest rates is $0.3 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Teradyne, Inc. (the “Company”):

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Teradyne, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a)(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note R to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions in 2007. As discussed in Notes B and N to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for share-based compensation in 2006 and the manner in which it accounts for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans effective December 31, 2006.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

38


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

A. THE COMPANY

Teradyne, Inc. is a leading global supplier of automatic test equipment.

Teradyne’s automatic test equipment products and services include:

 

   

semiconductor test (“Semiconductor Test”), and

 

   

circuit-board test and inspection systems, military/aerospace (“Mil/Aero”) test instrumentation and systems and automotive diagnostic and test systems (“Systems Test Group”)

 

B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Certain prior years’ amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In August 2007, the company sold Broadband Test Division, its Digital Subscriber Line and telephone network test division. In November 2005, the company sold Teradyne Connection Systems, its interconnection systems product and services division. The results of operations of Broadband Test Division and Teradyne Connection Systems as well as balance sheet amounts pertaining to these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements (see “Note E: Discontinued Operations”).

Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to inventories, investments, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, doubtful accounts, income taxes, pensions, warranties, and loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on appropriate and customary assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Teradyne recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss have passed, delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss generally pass to Teradyne’s customers upon shipment or at delivery destination point. In circumstances where either title or risk of loss pass upon destination, acceptance or cash payment, Teradyne defers revenue recognition until such events occur.

Teradyne’s equipment includes embedded software which is considered incidental to the product. Revenue is recognized upon shipment or at delivery destination point, provided that customer acceptance criteria can be demonstrated prior to shipment. Certain contracts require Teradyne to perform tests of the product to ensure that performance meets the published product specifications or customer requested specifications, which are generally conducted prior to shipment. Where the criteria cannot be demonstrated prior to shipment, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance has been received.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(Continued)

 

For multiple element arrangements Teradyne defers the fair value of any undelivered elements of the contract. For a delivered item to be considered a separate unit, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there must be objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered items in the arrangement and the delivery or performance of the undelivered item must be considered probable and substantially in the control of Teradyne. Teradyne also defers the portion of the sales price that is not due until acceptance, which represents deferred profit. Fair value is the price charged when the element is sold separately. Teradyne’s post-shipment obligations include installation, training services, one-year standard warranties, and extended warranties. Installation does not alter the product capabilities, does not require specialized skills or tools and can be performed by the customers or other vendors. Installation is typically provided within five to fifteen days of product shipment and is completed within one to two days thereafter. Training services are optional and do not affect the customer’s ability to use the product. Teradyne defers revenue for the fair value of installation and training. Extended warranties constitute warranty obligations beyond one year and Teradyne defers revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin 90-1.

Teradyne’s products are generally subject to warranty and related costs of the warranty are provided for in cost of revenue when product revenue is recognized. Teradyne classifies shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue. Service revenue is recognized over the contractual period or as the services are performed.

Teradyne generally does not provide its customers with contractual rights of return for any of its products.

For transactions involving the sale of software which is not incidental to the product, revenue is recognized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP No. 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 97-2”). Teradyne recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. In instances where an arrangement contains multiple elements, revenue is deferred related to the undelivered elements to the extent that vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) exists for such elements. In instances where VSOE does not exist for one or more of the undelivered elements of an arrangement, all revenue related to the arrangement is deferred until all elements have been delivered. VSOE is the price charged when the element is sold separately. Revenue for the separate elements is only recognized where the functionality of the undelivered element is not essential to the delivered element.

For certain contracts eligible for contract accounting under SOP No. 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion accounting method based upon the percentage of incurred costs to estimated total costs. These arrangements require significant production, modification or customization. In all cases, changes to total estimated costs and anticipated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. With respect to contract change orders, claims or similar items, judgment must be used in estimating related amounts and assessing the potential for realization. Such amounts are only included in the contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is reasonably assured, generally upon receipt of a customer approved change order. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, Teradyne had $10.5 million and $16.9 million in unbilled amounts on long-term contracts included in accounts receivable, respectively. These amounts will be billed on a milestone basis in accordance with contractual terms.

B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(Continued)

 

Inventories

Inventories, which include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. On a quarterly basis, Teradyne uses consistent methodologies to evaluate all inventory for net realizable value. Teradyne records a provision for both excess and obsolete inventory when such write-downs or write-offs are identified through the quarterly review process. The inventory valuation is based upon assumptions about future demand, product mix and possible alternative uses. Teradyne’s inventory balance at December 31, 2007 was $80.3 million, net of write-downs to net realizable value of $105.6 million.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements and major renewals are capitalized and included in property, plant and equipment accounts while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense. When assets are retired, the assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Teradyne provides for depreciation of its assets principally on the straight line method with the cost of the assets being charged to expense over their useful lives as follows:

 

Buildings

   40 years

Building improvements

   5 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

Furniture and fixtures

   10 years

Test systems manufactured internally

   6 years

Machinery and equipment

   3 to 5 years

Software

   3 to 5 years

Test systems manufactured internally are used by Teradyne for customer evaluations and manufacturing and support of its customers. Teradyne depreciates the test systems manufactured internally over a six-year life to cost of revenues and selling and administrative expenses. Teradyne often sells internally manufactured test equipment to customers. Upon the sale of an internally manufactured test system, the net book value of the system is transferred to inventory and expensed as cost of revenues. The net book value of internally manufactured test systems sold in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $33.0 million, $40.0 million and $47.6 million, respectively.

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

Teradyne accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded in an amount equal to that excess.

TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(Continued)

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” Teradyne reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment, if any, contain management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time.

Engineering and Development Costs

Teradyne’s products are highly technical in nature and require a large and continuing engineering and development effort. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to expense. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized until the product is available for release to customers. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and general availability of the product has been short and software development costs eligible for capitalization have not been material. Engineering and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of salaries, contractor fees, building costs, depreciation, and tooling costs.

Advertising Costs

Teradyne expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $2.4 million, $2.7 million and $2.4 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Product Warranty

Teradyne generally provides a one-year warranty on its products, commencing upon installation or shipment. A provision is recorded upon revenue recognition to cost of revenues for estimated warranty expense based upon historical experience. Related costs are charged to the warranty accrual as incurred. The balance below is included in other accrued liabilities.

Stock Compensation Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Equity Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under its stock compensation plans, Teradyne has granted stock options and restricted stock units, and employees are eligible to purchase Teradyne’s common stock through its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Stock options to purchase Teradyne’s common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the grant date generally vest in equal installments over four years from the grant date and have a maximum term of seven years. Options granted to non-employee directors on or after February 5, 2001 are immediately vested, fully exercisable and have a maximum term of either five or seven years.

Restricted stock unit awards granted to employees prior to 2006 (excluding executive officers) vest over a two year period, with 50% vesting on each of the first and the second anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards granted to employees in 2006 and 2007 (excluding executive officers) vest in equal annual installments over four years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to non-employee directors vest after a one year period, with 100% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards granted to executive officers, including the CEO, in January 2006, vest over two years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to executive officers, including the CEO, in January 2007 vest over four years. A portion of the restricted stock unit awards granted to executive officers, including the CEO, is subject to time-based vesting and a portion of the awards is subject to performance-based vesting. The percentage level of performance satisfied for performance-based grants is assessed on or near the anniversary of the grant date and, in turn, that percentage level determines the number of performance-based restricted stock units available for vesting over the vesting period; portions of the performance-based grants not available for vesting will be forfeited. Restricted stock units do not have common stock voting rights, and the shares underlying the restricted stock units are not considered issued and outstanding until they become vested. Teradyne expenses the cost of the restricted stock unit awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.

Under the ESPP, eligible employees (including executive officers) may purchase shares of common stock through regular payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation. The price paid for the common stock is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Teradyne’s common stock on the first business day and the last business day of the purchase period. There are two six-month purchase periods in each fiscal year.

Effective January 1, 2006, Teradyne adopted the fair value recognition provision of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and is calculated based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123R. As required by SFAS 123R, Teradyne has made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based compensation awards expected to vest.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Teradyne accounted for its equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations (“APB 25”). In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. Teradyne has applied provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. The cumulative effect of the initial adoption of SFAS 123R was not material.

The pro-forma table below reflects the effect of recording stock-based compensation on loss from continuing operations and net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, had Teradyne applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

On May 26, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding, unvested “out of the money” stock options awarded to employees, officers and other eligible participants under Teradyne’s various stock option plans. The stock options that were accelerated had exercise prices that were in excess of $13.26, the closing price of Teradyne’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 26, 2005 and ranged in exercise price from $13.73 to $41.37 per share. As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase approximately 7.6 million shares became exercisable immediately and Teradyne reduced the compensation expense it otherwise would have been required to record under SFAS 123R by approximately $48.6 million on a pre-tax basis over fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008.

The effect to income from continuing operations for recording stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was as follows:

Valuation Assumptions

There were no stock options granted in 2007 and 2006.

The weighted-average fair value of employee stock purchase rights granted in the first and last six months of 2007 was $3.56 and $2.67, respectively, the first and last six months of 2006 was $3.81 and $3.48, respectively, and the first and last six months of 2005 was $3.08 and $3.13. The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     2007     2006     2005  

Expected life (years)

   0.5     0.5     0.5

Investments in Other Companies

Teradyne holds minority interests in private companies having operations or technology in areas within its strategic focus. These investments are included in other long-term assets and include investments accounted for at cost and under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, which generally applies to investments that represent a 20 to 50 percent ownership of the equity securities of the investees, Teradyne’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the investees is included in other income and expense. Teradyne records an impairment charge when it believes an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other-than-temporary. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, these investments have a carrying value of zero.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when

 

51


TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

B. ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(Continued)

 

the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. U.S. income taxes are not provided for on the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, which are expected to be reinvested indefinitely in operations outside the U.S. For intra-period tax allocations, Teradyne has elected the tax law ordering approach which utilizes net operating loss carryforwards, both income and equity prior to tax credit carryforwards.

Translation of Non-U.S. Currencies

The functional currency for all non-U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for the Systems Test Group business unit Diagnostic Solutions for which the local currency is its functional currency. All foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured on a quarterly basis into the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. All foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using historical exchange rates. Net foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from re-measurement are included in operations and were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. For Diagnostic Solutions, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenue and expense amounts are translated using an average of exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive to income before continuing operations, diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares plus common stock equivalents, if applicable.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The volatility of the industries that Teradyne serves can cause certain of its customers to experience shortages of cash flows, which can impact their ability to make required payments. Teradyne maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Estimated allowances for doubtful accounts are reviewed periodically taking into account the customer’s recent payment history, the customer’s current financial statements and other information regarding the customer’s credit worthiness. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined the receivable will not be recovered.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss), unrealized pension gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt, equity and derivative securities and cumulative translation adjustments.

 

C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a

 

52


TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS—(Continued)

 

framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This accounting standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Teradyne is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) establishes new principles and requirements for how an acquiring company 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, 2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and 3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Teradyne is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

 

D. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

Teradyne’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These factors include, but are not limited to the following:

 

   

Teradyne is subject to intense competition;

 

   

Teradyne’s business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for electronics, which historically has been highly cyclical;

D. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES—(Continued)

 

   

Teradyne’s business may suffer if it is unable to attract and retain key employees;

 

   

Teradyne’s business is impacted by worldwide economic cycles, which are difficult to predict;

 

   

Acts of war, terrorist attacks and the threat of domestic and international terrorist attacks may adversely impact Teradyne’s business; and

 

   

Provisions of Teradyne’s charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult.

 

E. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On August 1, 2007 Teradyne completed the sale of the Broadband Test Division to Tollgrade Communications, Inc. for $11.3 million in cash. Broadband Test Division had revenues for the seven month period ended July 31, 2007 of $11.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $20.6 million, and for the year ending December 31, 2005 of $30.1 million. Loss from discontinued operations of the Broadband Test Division for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $6.3 million, loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $5.5 million, and income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $3.2 million. In 2007, Teradyne recorded a gain on the sale of Broadband Test Division of $5.9 million, net of a tax provision of $0.4 million.

On October 10, 2005, Teradyne announced they had reached a definitive agreement to sell its Connection Systems segment to Amphenol Corporation for $390.0 million in cash (subject to a post-closing net asset value adjustment). On November 30, 2005 the sale was completed for an adjusted purchase price of $384.7 million. Connection Systems had revenues for the eleven month period ended November 30, 2005 of $331.0 million. Loss from discontinued operations of Connection Systems segment for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $3.9 million, relating to a change in estimate to tax expenses from the sale. Under applicable accounting guidance, there is an offsetting tax benefit recorded in continuing operations for the same amount. This tax provision results from the finalization of the 2005 U.S. tax return. Income from discontinued operations of Connection Systems through the date of sale in 2005 was $151.1 million, including a gain on sale of Connection Systems of $137.0 million, net of a tax provision of $31.0 million.

 

F. ACQUISITIONS OF TECHNOLOGY

On March 7, 2007, Teradyne purchased in-process enabling test technology and hired certain engineers from MOSAID Technologies Inc. for $17.6 million, which includes $0.6 million in fees directly related to the acquisition. Of the purchase price, $16.7 million has been allocated to in-process research and development and therefore has been immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.

This technology was purchased to be used in the development of a new semiconductor test product. As of the acquisition date, the technology had not reached technical feasibility, had no alternative future use and its fair value was estimable with reasonable reliability, and therefore has been classified as in-process research and development. The technology is unique to the semiconductor test market and requires significant development. The estimated fair value of the in-process technology was determined based on the use of a discounted cash flow model using an income approach. Estimated cash flows were probability adjusted to take into account the stage of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization of the in-process technology. Such a valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to determining the timing and estimated costs to complete the in-process project as well as the estimated cash flows to be generated as a result of completing the project development.

G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Equivalents

Teradyne considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents are time deposits of $2.7 million and $88.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Marketable Securities

Teradyne classifies investments in marketable securities as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and periodically re-evaluates such classification. There were no securities classified as trading or held-to-maturity at December 31, 2007 or 2006. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity when Teradyne has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at cost with corresponding premiums or discounts amortized over the life of the investment to interest income. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Teradyne recorded no realized gains on the sale of its marketable securities. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, Teradyne recorded realized gains of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, on the sale of its marketable securities. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, Teradyne recorded realized losses of $3.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, on the sale of its marketable securities. Unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Short-term marketable securities mature in less than one year. Long-term marketable securities have maturities of one to five years. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 these investments are reported as follows:

As of December 31, 2007, the fair market value of investments with unrealized losses totalled $111.1 million. Of this value, $33.6 million consists of 16 individual securities that have had an unrealized loss for greater than one year and $77.5 million have had an unrealized loss for less than one year. Of the $33.6 million of investments that have had an unrealized loss for greater than one year, $3.8 million relates to short-term investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, $11.1 million relates to short-term corporate debt securities, and $18.7 million relates to long-term corporate debt securities. Teradyne reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near term prospects of the investee, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments for a period of time to allow for anticipated recovery in market value. Based on this review, the Company has determined that the unrealized losses at December 31, 2007 are temporary.

Derivatives

Teradyne conducts business in a number of foreign countries, with certain transactions denominated in local currencies. The purpose of Teradyne’s foreign currency management is to minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign denominated net monetary assets and anticipated cash flows. The terms of currency instruments used for hedging purposes are consistent with the timing of the transactions being hedged. Teradyne does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

To minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the remeasurement of net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies, Teradyne enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded directly in earnings, and is used to offset the change in fair value of the net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies.

To minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuations associated with the future cash flows of revenue contracts denominated in a foreign currency, Teradyne enters into foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and are carried on Teradyne’s balance sheet at fair value with the effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings in the same period the hedged transaction occurs. These forward contracts generally expire within 24 months.

The fair value of the outstanding contracts was an immaterial gain at December 31, 2007 and a gain of $0.7 million at December 31, 2006. In 2007, Teradyne recorded net realized losses of $0.2 million related to foreign currency forward contracts hedging net monetary positions. In 2006, Teradyne recorded net realized gains of $2.2 million related to foreign currency forward contracts hedging net monetary positions. In 2005, Teradyne recorded net realized losses of $0.5 million related to foreign currency forward contracts hedging net monetary positions. Both, the contract gains and losses on the items being hedged are included in selling and administrative expenses.

The effective portion of derivative gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. During fiscal 2007, Teradyne did not enter into any cash flow hedges. During fiscal 2006, $0.1 million of losses were reclassified to revenue. No cash flow hedges were derecognized or discontinued during fiscal 2007 and 2006. During 2006 and 2005, there were no gains or losses from cash flow hedges due to ineffectiveness.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Teradyne to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of marketable securities, forward currency contracts and accounts receivable. Teradyne maintains cash investments primarily in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities and corporate debt securities, rated AA or higher, which have minimal credit risk. Teradyne places forward currency contracts with high credit-quality financial institutions in order to minimize credit risk exposure. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of geographically dispersed customers. Teradyne performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and from time to time may require customers to provide a letter of credit from a bank to secure accounts receivable.

 

H. DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes

In 2001, Teradyne issued $400 million principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2006 (the “Notes”) in a private placement and received net proceeds of $389 million. The Notes were convertible at the option of the holders at a rate which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $26.00 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of approximately 38.4615 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

H. DEBT—(Continued)

 

Teradyne began making annual interest payments of up to $15 million, paid semi-annually, on the Notes on April 15, 2002. The Notes were senior unsecured obligations of Teradyne that ranked equally with Teradyne’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The price Teradyne was required to pay was 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, together with interest accrued but unpaid to, but excluding, the repurchase date. At Teradyne’s option and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, instead of paying the repurchase price in cash, it may pay the repurchase price in common stock valued at 95% of the average of the closing prices of common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding and including the third trading day prior to the repurchase date. During 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, Teradyne repurchased $8.5 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes pursuant to the August 18, 2004 Board of Directors authorization given to management to repurchase up to $100 million of the outstanding Notes in open market purchases at negotiated prices below 101.50% of the principal amount. During the fourth quarter of 2005, Teradyne repurchased $71.5 million of the Notes through several privately negotiated transactions, at a weighted average price of 99.11% of the principal amount of the Notes. These repurchases were made pursuant to the Board of Directors’ authorization given to management on August 18, 2004 and as amended on October 21, 2005, and represent the remaining amount authorized for repurchase. Teradyne incurred no gain or loss during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 as a result of these transactions. This debt was paid in its entirety during 2006.

J. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Teradyne has identified goodwill in its Systems Test Group reportable segment with a carrying amount of $69.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006. SFAS 142 provides that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances including a significant adverse change in the business outlook. Teradyne’s annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Teradyne tested the Systems Test Group reporting unit for impairment during its annual test and concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Legal Claims

On September 5, 2001, after Teradyne’s August 2000 acquisition of Herco Technology Corp. and Perception Laminates, Inc., the former owners of those companies filed a complaint against Teradyne and two of our then executive officers in the Federal District Court in San Diego, California, asserting securities fraud and breach of contract related to the acquisition. The District Court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, granted partial summary judgment against them with respect to their breach of contract claim and denied their motion for reconsideration. In July 2007, after an appeal by the plaintiffs, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the District Court rulings. Teradyne petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing of the ruling that it reversed. In October 2007, the Ninth Circuit denied Teradyne’s petition for rehearing. Teradyne will continue to defend the claim that was sent back to the District Court.

In 2001, Teradyne was designated as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a clean-up site in Los Angeles, California. This claim arose out of Teradyne’s acquisition of Perception Laminates in August 2000. Prior to that date, Perception Laminates had itself acquired certain assets of Alco Industries Inc. under an asset purchase agreement in 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates have ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. Teradyne asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.

Teradyne believes that is has meritorious defenses against the above unsettled claims and intends to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of the unsettled claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the potential losses associated with all of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its consolidated results of operations of any one period.

In addition, Teradyne is subject to legal proceedings, claims and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Although there can be no assurance, there are no such matters pending that Teradyne expects to be material with respect to its business, financial position or results of operations.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

Teradyne provides indemnification, to the extent permitted by law, to its officers, directors, employees and agents for liabilities arising from certain events or occurrences while the officer, director, employee, or agent, is or was serving, at Teradyne’s request in such capacity. Teradyne has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors. With respect to acquisitions, Teradyne provides indemnifications to or assumes indemnification obligations for the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired companies in accordance with the acquired companies’ bylaws and charter. As a matter of practice, Teradyne has maintained directors and officer liability insurance coverage including coverage for directors and officers of acquired companies. Two former executive officers of Teradyne are named defendants in a securities case pending in the Federal District Court in San Diego. Each of these former executive officers has invoked the indemnification provisions described herein and insurance claims have been submitted to and are being processed by Teradyne’s director and officer liability insurance provider.

Teradyne enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators and suppliers. Most of these agreements require Teradyne to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to Teradyne’s products. From time to time, Teradyne also indemnifies customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability and environmental claims relating to the use of Teradyne’s products and services or resulting from the acts or omissions of Teradyne, its employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. On occasion, Teradyne has also provided guarantees to customers regarding the performance of its products in addition to the warranty described below.

As a matter of ordinary business course, Teradyne warrants that its products, including software products, will substantially perform in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery. Most warranties have a one year duration commencing from installation. A provision is recorded upon revenue recognition to cost of revenue for estimated warranty expense upon historical experience. When Teradyne receives revenue for extended warranties beyond the standard duration, it is deferred and recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period. Related costs are expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, Teradyne had a product warranty accrual of $9.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively in other accrued liabilities and revenue deferrals related to extended warranties of $6.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively in deferred revenue.

In addition, and in the ordinary course of business, Teradyne provides minimum purchase guarantees to certain of its vendors to ensure continuity of supply against the market demand. Although some of these guarantees provide penalties for cancellations and/or modifications to the purchase commitments as the market demand decreases, most of the guarantees do not. Therefore, as the market demand decreases, Teradyne re-evaluates these guarantees and determines what charges, if any, should be recorded.

With respect to its agreements covering product, business or entity divestitures and acquisitions, Teradyne provides certain representations, warranties and covenants to purchasers and agrees to indemnify and hold such purchasers harmless against breaches of such representations, warranties and covenants. Many of the indemnification claims have a definite expiration date while some remain in force indefinitely. With respect to its acquisitions, Teradyne may, from time to time, assume the liability for certain events or occurrences that took place prior to the date of acquisition.

K. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES—(Continued)

 

As a matter of ordinary business course, Teradyne occasionally guarantees certain indebtedness obligations of its subsidiary companies, limited to the borrowings from financial institutions, purchase commitments to certain vendors, and lease commitments to landlords.

Based on historical experience and information known as of December 31, 2007, except for product warranty, Teradyne has not recorded any liabilities for these guarantees and obligations as of December 31, 2007 because the amount would be immaterial.

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 13.8 million and 15.3 million shares, respectively, because the exercise price of the option was greater than the average market price of the common shares, as the effect would have been ant-dilutive. The effect of Teradyne’s outstanding convertible notes on diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 was calculated using the “if

L. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE—(Continued)

 

converted” method as required by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” In using the “if converted” method, $8.3 million of interest expense related to the convertible notes for the year ended December 31, 2006, net of tax and profit sharing expenses, was added back to net income to arrive at diluted net income. Accordingly, 8.5 million incremental shares from the assumed conversion of the convertible debt are added to shares when calculating diluted net income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The computation of diluted net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2005 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of all options because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted (loss) income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2005 also excludes 11.5 million shares related to Teradyne’s convertible notes outstanding because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

M. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER, NET

In response to a downturn in the industry, Teradyne initiated restructuring activities in 2002 across all segments to reduce costs and redundancies, principally through headcount reductions and facility consolidations. Further actions were initiated in 2003, to a lesser extent in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Additionally, in 2005, 2006 and 2007 as part of Teradyne’s facility consolidation, Teradyne began selling certain real estate. The tables below represent activity related to these actions. The remaining accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in the accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings account on the balance sheet. The remaining accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in the other accrued liabilities account and the other long-term accrued liabilities account and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out approximately $2.2 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months, with the remaining balance to be paid through 2012. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $7.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

For Pre-2005 restructuring activity, Teradyne recorded the following activity in 2007:

 

   

$0.9 million from earn-out payments received from the product line divestitures in the Systems Test Group.

 

   

$1.6 million related to changes in estimated sublease income and related facility costs from facilities previously exited by the Systems Test Group.

During February 2008, the Company implemented reduction-in-force activities across all reportable segments, functions and geographies. This will include a reduction of approximately 175 employees and a severance charge during the first quarter of 2008 of approximately $9.5 million.

 

N. RETIREMENT PLANS

Teradyne adopted the funded status recognition provision of SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2006. This standard amends SFAS 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires an employer with defined benefit plans or other postretirement benefit plans to recognize an asset or a liability on its balance sheet for the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans as defined by SFAS 158. The pension asset or liability represents a difference between the fair value of the pension plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation as of December 31. For other postretirement benefit plans, the liability is the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Teradyne has defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of domestic employees and employees of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Benefits under these plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation. Teradyne’s funding policy is to make contributions to the plans in accordance with local laws and to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. The assets of these plans consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities. In addition, Teradyne has an unfunded supplemental executive defined benefit plan in the United States to provide retirement benefits in excess of levels allowed by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), as well as unfunded foreign plans.

Teradyne uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans. The December 31 balances of these defined benefit pension plan assets and obligations are shown below:

In developing the expected return on plan assets assumption, Teradyne evaluated input from its investment manager and pension consultants, including their review of asset class return expectations. Based on this review, Teradyne believes that 7.75% was an appropriate rate to use for fiscal 2007 for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan.

TERADYNE, INC.

Teradyne bases its determination of pension expense or income on a market-related valuation of assets, which reduces year-to-year volatility. This market-related valuation recognizes investment gains or losses over a five-year period from the year in which they occur. Investment gains or losses for this purpose are the difference between the expected return calculated using the market-related value of assets and the actual return on assets. Since the market-related value of assets recognizes gains or losses over a five-year period, the future value of assets will be impacted as previously deferred gains or losses are recognized. As of December 31, 2007, under the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, Teradyne had cumulative gains of approximately $3.2 million, which remain to be recognized in the calculation of the market-related value of assets. The discount rate that Teradyne utilized for determining future pension obligations for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan is based on the Citigroup Pension Liability Index, which was at 6.5% at December 31, 2007, up from 5.9% at December 31, 2006. As a result, Teradyne selected 6.5% for its December 31, 2007 discount rate, up from 6.0% as of December 31, 2006.

Plan Assets

Teradyne’s weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2007 and 2006, by asset category is as follows:

 

     United States Plan     Foreign Plans  
         2007             2006             2007             2006      

Equity Securities

   46.3 %   49.3 %   53.8 %   55.9 %

Debt Securities

   53.7     50.7     40.3     38.6

Total

   100.0 %   100.0 %   100.0 %   100.0 %
                        

Teradyne employs a total return investment approach for its pension plan assets whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to ensure the preservation of capital and to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. The investment portfolio will not at any time have a direct investment in Teradyne stock. It may have an indirect investment in Teradyne stock, if one of the funds selected by the investment manager invests in Teradyne stock.

The target asset allocation and index for each asset category for the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, per policy, for the portfolio is as follows:

 

Asset Category:

  

Policy Index:

   Target  

Equity (Large cap)

   S&P 500 Stock Index    22 %

Equity (Small cap)

   Russell 2000 Index    10  

International Equity

   MSCI EAFE Index (Net Dividends) and MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index    15  

Passive Fixed Income

   Lehman Aggregate Bond Index    33  

High-Yield Fixed Income

   Lehman Brothers High Yield Very Liquid Index    10  

Real Assets

   Real Asset Custom Index    10  

Teradyne’s investment manager regularly reviews Teradyne’s actual asset allocation and periodically rebalances Teradyne’s portfolio to ensure alignment to the targeted allocation. The investment return objectives are to achieve a rate of return, which exceeds the rate of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, by 3% per year, and to avoid excessive volatility and produce a rate of return that at least matches the Policy Index identified above. The manager’s investment performance is reviewed at least annually. Results for the total

portfolio and for each major category of assets are evaluated in comparison with appropriate market indices, the Policy Index, other similarly managed portfolios and the Consumer Price Index. The assets of Teradyne’s foreign pension plans are invested in funds which seek to combine long-term growth potential offered through equity exposure with the relative security provided by equity, bonds and cash.

Contributions

Teradyne’s funding policy is to make contributions to the plans in accordance with local laws and to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, Teradyne contributed $4.8 million, $30.2 million and $40.1 million, respectively, to the plans. Based upon the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan funded status as of December 31, 2007, Teradyne does not expect to make any contributions to this plan in 2008. Contributions that will be made in 2008 to certain Qualified Plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries are based on local statutory requirements and will be approximately $2.4 million.

Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

In addition to receiving pension benefits, U.S. Teradyne employees who meet early retirement eligibility requirements as of their termination dates may participate in Teradyne’s Welfare Plan, which includes death, and medical and dental benefits up to age 65. Death benefits provide a fixed sum to retirees’ survivors and are available to all retirees. Substantially all of Teradyne’s current U.S. employees (including executive officers) could become eligible for these benefits, and the existing benefit obligation relates primarily to those employees.

O. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Compensation Plans

Under its stock compensation plans Teradyne granted options to purchase common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted to employees prior to September 2001 vest in equal installments over four years and have a maximum term of five years. Beginning in September 2001, options granted to employees vest in equal installments over four years and have a maximum term of seven years. In addition, in 2001, Teradyne made a one-time option grant to all employees that vested over two years and has a term of seven years. Options granted to non-employee directors prior to February 5, 2001 vest in equal installments over four years and have a maximum term of five years. Options granted to non-employee directors on or after February 5, 2001 are immediately vested, fully exercisable and have a maximum term of either five or seven years.

Restricted stock unit awards granted to employees prior to 2006 (excluding executive officers) vest over a two year period, with 50% vesting on each of the first and the second anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards granted to employees in 2006 and 2007 (excluding executive officers) vest in equal annual installments over four years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to non-employee directors vest after a one year period, with 100% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit awards granted to executive officers, including the CEO, in January 2006, vest over two years. Restricted stock unit awards granted to executive officers, including the CEO, in January 2007 vest over four years. A portion of the restricted stock unit awards granted to executive officers, including the CEO, is subject to time-based vesting and a portion of the awards is subject to performance-based vesting. The percentage level of performance satisfied for performance-based grants is assessed on or near the anniversary of the grant date and, in turn, that percentage

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Teradyne 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees (including executive officers) may purchase shares of common stock through regular payroll deductions of up to 10% of their compensation. Under the plan, the price paid for the common stock is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Teradyne’s common stock on the first business day and the last business day of the purchase period. On November 9, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a plan amendment which replaced the existing twelve (12) month purchase period with two six (6) month purchase periods, effective January 1, 2005. In July 2007, 0.6 million shares of common stock were issued to employees who participated in the plan during the first half of 2007, at the weighted average price of $12.78 per share. In January 2008, Teradyne issued 0.7 million shares of common stock to employees who participated in the plan during the second half of 2007, at the weighted average price of $8.79 per share.

 

P. SAVINGS PLAN

Teradyne sponsors an employee retirement Savings Plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. Under Teradyne’s savings plan, employees may contribute up to 20% of their compensation (subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations). Teradyne annually matches employee contributions up to 6% of such compensation at rates ranging from 50% to 100% for employees in the defined benefit plan. For all other employees, Teradyne annually matches up to 5% of such compensation at rates ranging from 100% to 150%. Teradyne’s contributions vest 25% per year for the first four years of employment, and contributions for those employees with four years of service vest immediately. Teradyne also has established an unfunded Supplemental Savings Plan to provide savings benefits in excess of those allowed by ERISA and the IRC. The provisions of this plan are the same as the Savings Plan. Under Teradyne’s savings plans, amounts charged to operations were $6.2 million in 2007, $10.7 million in 2006 and $9.1 million in 2005.

Q. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

During 2007, Paul Tufano, a member of our Board of Directors, was Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Solectron Corporation until it was acquired by Flextronics in October 2007. Mr. Tufano is no longer an employee of Solectron or Flextronics. In the ordinary course of business, Teradyne has for the last ten years purchased printed circuit board assemblies from Solectron, and has also sold in-circuit testers to Solectron which Teradyne refers to as Flextronics. In August 2007, prior to the Flextronics acquisition, Teradyne expanded our contract with Solectron to have it provide additional manufacturing and test services, including areas of final configuration and test for most of Teradyne’s FLEX family of products. In the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, Teradyne purchased $207.8 million, $229.9 million and $153.1 million of printed circuit board assemblies and services from Flextronics, respectively. Sales of in-circuit testers to Flextronics for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $4.0 million, $5.7 million and $5.7 million respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $19.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, was included in accounts payable and $17.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was included in accounts receivable, representing amounts due to/from Flextronics.

During 2006, the income tax expense from continuing operations totaled $27.9 million. This amount relates primarily to a tax provision for foreign taxes as well as benefits related to a one-time credit related to pension funding and settlement of the California income tax audit for 1998 through 2000.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, there was a tax benefit from continuing operations that totaled $19.7 million. Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), a benefit of $29.2 million was recognized for losses relating to 2005 continuing operations. There was an equal and offsetting tax provision in the gain on sale of Connection Systems included in discontinued operations. The remaining portion of the net tax benefit includes a tax provision that related primarily to foreign taxes.

Of the U.S. Federal operating loss carryforwards, $53.1 million relates to the acquisition of GenRad, Inc. in 2001. The GenRad losses are limited in the amount that can be used as a result of “change in ownership” rules as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Teradyne has approximately $63.5 million of tax credit carry forwards. Business tax credits of approximately $17.9 million expire in the years 2019 through 2027. Teradyne has foreign tax credits of approximately $9.4 million expiring 2012 through 2017 and alternative minimum tax credits of approximately $7.9 million, which do not expire. In addition, there are state tax credits of $28.2 million which expire beginning in 2015.

During 2007 and 2006, Teradyne’s valuation allowance decreased by $48.3 million and $56.2 million respectively primarily as a result of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards against current year taxable income. Due to the continued uncertainty of realization, Teradyne maintained its valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 and 2006, for deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Singapore. Teradyne does not expect to significantly reduce its valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists, including sustained profitability, that realization is more likely than not. The valuation allowance includes $16.6 million for net deferred tax assets resulting from minimum pension liabilities and $10.0 million for net operating loss carryforwards relating to stock compensation.

For 2007 and 2006, the foreign taxes reconciling item includes losses generated in Singapore that are not tax affected at the U.S. federal tax rate. A corresponding valuation allowance has been established in Singapore for these losses.

Teradyne adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 applies to all income tax positions accounted for under FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. FIN 48 also addressed other aspects of reporting and disclosing uncertain tax positions. Upon adoption of FIN 48, there was no cumulative effect to retained earnings. It is anticipated that within the next twelve months there will be no change in unrecognized tax benefits due to audit settlements. As of December 31, 2007, Teradyne has open tax years beginning in 2003 for major jurisdictions including the U.S., Japan, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Teradyne records all interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to income tax items at December 31, 2007 was not material.

Teradyne’s unrecognized tax benefits are as follows (in thousands):

Current year and prior year additions include assessment of potential transfer pricing exposures and goodwill issues worldwide. Reductions for tax positions for prior years relate to changes in estimates regarding the limitation of acquired net operating losses. Settlements with tax authorities relate to the closing of transfer pricing issues with local tax authorities in Europe and Asia. Of the $9.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007, $7.2 million would impact the consolidated income tax rate if ultimately recognized. The remaining $2.6 million would impact the valuation allowance if ultimately recognized.

As of December 31, 2007, a deferred tax liability has not been established for approximately $253.7 million of cumulative undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, as Teradyne plans to keep these amounts permanently reinvested overseas. Beginning in 2006, Teradyne received from Singapore tax incentives for earnings from investments and related activities that began in that country in 2005. These incentives extend through 2019 and have resulted in $1.5 million and $2.0 million in tax savings during 2007 and 2006, respectively. From 2003 through 2006, Teradyne received tax incentives to conduct business in the People’s Republic of China. These tax incentives resulted in income tax savings of $1.3 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

S. OPERATING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Teradyne’s two reportable segments are Semiconductor Test and Systems Test Group. The Semiconductor Test segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of semiconductor test products and services. The Systems Test Group segment includes operations related to the design, manufacturing and marketing of circuit-board test and inspection products and services, military/aerospace instrumentation test products and services, and automotive diagnostic and test products and services.

During the third quarter of 2007, the internal management reporting of the Company changed to better align with the company’s operational management structure, resulting in a change in the Company’s reportable segments. Segment reporting has been restated for all periods presented to reflect this change. Each reportable segment has one segment president who reports directly to the chief operating decision maker and the segments reporting presented reflects the information reviewed and used by the chief operating decision maker.

T. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In July 2006, Teradyne’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. Under the program, Teradyne could spend up to an aggregate of $400 million to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or through other appropriate means over two years. Shares were to be repurchased at Teradyne’s discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. In October 2007, Teradyne completed the $400 million stock repurchase program, repurchasing a cumulative total of 27.9 million shares of common stock at an average price of $14.31 per share.

In November 2007, Teradyne’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program. Under the program, Teradyne is permitted to spend an aggregate of $400 million to repurchase shares of its common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or through other means. Shares are to be repurchased at Teradyne’s discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Teradyne repurchased 18.3 million shares of common stock for $273.7 million at an average price of $14.94.

 

U. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January 24, 2008, Teradyne completed the acquisition of Nextest Systems Corporation (“Nextest”) for an estimated net purchase price of approximately $325 million. This estimated purchase price is net of the cash acquired and includes the fair value of fully vested employee equity instruments and transaction costs. The allocation of the purchase price is in process, but not yet complete. The acquisition allows Teradyne to enter the flash memory test segment. Nextest designs, develops, manufactures, sells and services low-cost, high throughput automated test equipment systems for the semiconductor industry. Nextest competes in the flash memory, flash card, and flash memory based system-on-chip markets. Their products are used to test integrated circuits such as microcontrollers, image sensors, smart cards and field programmable logic devices. Nextest will be included within Teradyne’s Semiconductor Test segment.

Item 9: Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure

None.

 

Item 9A: Controls and procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included under Item 8 of this Annual Report.

 

88


Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EX-10.4 2 dex104.htm 2006 EQUITY AND CASH COMPENSATION INCENTIVE PLAN AS AMENDED 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan as Amended

Exhibit 10.4

TERADYNE, INC.

2006 EQUITY AND CASH COMPENSATION INCENTIVE PLAN

(as amended as of January 21, 2008)

1. Purpose and Eligibility.

The purpose of this 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Teradyne, Inc. is to provide equity ownership and compensation opportunities in the Company (each an “Award”) to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all of whom are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.1 Any person to whom an Award has been granted under the Plan is called a “Participant.” Additional definitions are contained in Section 14(a).

2. Administration.

a. Administration by Committee of Independent Members of the Board of Directors. The Plan will be administered by a committee (the “Committee”) composed solely of members of the Board of Directors of the Company that are “independent,” as defined pursuant to Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as proscribed under Rule 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Listed Company Manual, or any amendment, supplement or modification thereto; provided, however, that at any time and on any one or more occasions the Board may itself exercise any of the powers and responsibilities assigned the Committee under the Plan and when so acting shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of the Plan pertaining to the Committee’s exercise of its authorities hereunder. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to grant Awards, to adopt, amend and repeal rules relating to the Plan, to interpret and correct the provisions of the Plan and any Award, and, subject to the limitations of the Plan, to modify and amend any Award. All decisions by the Committee shall be final and binding on all interested persons. Neither the Company nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination relating to the Plan.

b. Delegation to Executive Officers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the power to grant Awards and exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that the Committee shall fix the maximum number of Awards to be granted and the maximum number of shares issuable to any one Participant pursuant to Awards granted by such executive officer or officers. The Committee may, by a resolution adopted by the Committee, authorize one or more executive officers of the Company to do one or both of the following: (i) designate employees of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries to be recipients of Awards and (ii) determine the number, type and terms of such Awards to be received by such employees, subject to the limitations of the Plan; provided, however, that, in each case, the resolution so authorizing such officer or officers shall specify the maximum number and type of Awards such officer or officers may so award. The Committee may not authorize an officer to designate himself or herself as a recipient of any such Awards or to grant Awards to other executive officers of the Company.

3. Stock Available for Awards.

a. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Section 3(c), the aggregate number of shares (the “Authorized Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.125 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be issued pursuant to the Plan shall be 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock. If any Award expires, is terminated, surrendered, forfeited, expires unexercised, is settled in cash in lieu of Common Stock or is exchanged for other Awards, in whole or in part, the unissued Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the foregoing limitations shall be subject to adjustment under Section 3(c), but only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.


b. Per-Participant Limit. Subject to adjustment under Section 3(c), no Participant may be granted stock-based Awards during any one fiscal year to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

c. Adjustment to Common Stock. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off, split-up, or other similar change in capitalization or event, (i) the number and class of securities available for Awards under the Plan and the per-Participant share limit, (ii) the number and class of securities, vesting schedule and exercise price per share subject to each outstanding stock-based Award, (iii) the repurchase price per security subject to repurchase, and (iv) the terms of each other outstanding stock-based Award shall be adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made) to the extent the Committee shall determine, in good faith, that such an adjustment (or substitution) is appropriate. If Section 11(f)(i) applies for any event, this Section 3(c) shall not be applicable.

d. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the Participant shall, at the Committee’s discretion, receive either cash in lieu of such fractional shares or a full share for each fractional share.

4. Stock Options.

a. General. The Committee may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the terms and conditions of each Option, including, but not limited to (i) the number of shares subject to such Option or a formula for determining such, (ii) subject to Section 4(e) hereof, the exercise price of the Options and the means of payment for the shares, (iii) the Performance Criteria (as defined in Section 11(d)), if any, and level of achievement of such Performance Criteria that shall determine the number of shares or Options granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) the terms and conditions of the grant, issuance and/or forfeiture of the shares or Options, and (v) such further terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan.

b. Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Committee intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall be granted only to employees of the Company and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Committee and the Company shall have no liability if an Option or any part thereof that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as such.

c. Nonstatutory Stock Options. An Option or any part thereof that does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option is referred to herein as a “Nonstatutory Stock Option.”

d. Dollar Limitation. For so long as the Code shall so provide, Options granted to any employee under the Plan (and any other plans of the Company) which are intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options shall not constitute Incentive Stock Options to the extent that such Options, in the aggregate, become exercisable for the first time in any one calendar year for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 14 and determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of more than $100,000 (or such other limit as may be provided by the Code). To the extent that any such Incentive Stock Options exceed the $100,000 limitation (or such other limit as may be provided by the Code), such Options shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

e. Exercise Price. The Committee shall establish the exercise price (or determine the method by which the exercise price shall be established) at the time each Option is granted and specify the exercise price in the applicable Option agreement, provided, that the exercise price per share specified in the agreement relating to each Option granted under the Plan shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of such grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option to be granted to an employee owning stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the price per share specified in the agreement relating to such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of

 

2


Common Stock on the date of grant (or such other limit as may be provided by the Code). For purposes of determining stock ownership under this subsection, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply. Subject to Section 3(c), an Option may not be amended subsequent to its issuance to reduce the price at which it is exercisable unless such amendment is approved by the Company’s shareholders.

f. Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms, conditions and expiration as the Committee may specify in the applicable Option agreement; provided, that no Option shall be exercisable for a period of time greater than ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option; provided, further, that Incentive Stock Options granted to an employee owning stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company shall be exercisable for a maximum of five (5) years from the date of grant of such Option (or such other limit as may be provided by the Code). For purposes of determining stock ownership under this subsection, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply.

g. Vesting of Options. Subject to Section 11(f) and Section 11(j) and except as provided in Section 13, at the time of the grant of an Option, the Committee shall establish a vesting date or vesting dates with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Options. The Committee may establish vesting dates based upon the passage of time and/or the satisfaction of Performance Criteria or other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Committee.

h. Exercise of Option. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company at its principal office address or to such transfer agent as the Company shall designate of a written notice of exercise specifying the number of shares as to which such Option is being exercised, signed by the proper person, or by notification of the Company-designated third party commercial provider (the “Third Party Commercial Provider”), in accordance with the procedures approved by the Company and to which the holder of the Option shall have ongoing access by means of accessing such person’s account maintained with the Third Party Commercial Provider, together with payment in full as specified in Section 4(i) for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised.

i. Payment Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be paid for by one or any combination of the following forms of payment:

(i) in United States dollars in cash or by check payable to order of the Company or by fund transfer from the Option holder’s account maintained with the Third Party Commercial Provider;

(ii) at the discretion of the Committee, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, provided, that such shares were not acquired by the Participant in the prior six months;

(iii) at the discretion of the Committee and consistent with applicable law, through the delivery of an assignment to the Company of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option and an authorization to the Third Party Commercial Provider to pay that amount to the Company, which sale shall be at the Participant’s direction at the time of exercise; or

(iv) at the discretion of the Committee, by any combination of (i), (ii), or (iii) above.

If the Committee exercises its discretion to permit payment of the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option by means of the methods set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, such discretion shall be exercised in writing in the instrument evidencing the Award of the Incentive Stock Option.

j. Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan, each optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after such optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of any stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Incentive Stock Options. A “disqualifying disposition” is generally any disposition occurring on or before the later of (a) the date two years following the date the Incentive Stock Option was granted or (b) the date one year following the date the Incentive Stock Option was exercised.

 

3


k. Issuances of Securities. Except as provided in Section 3(c) or as otherwise expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Options. No adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company.

5. Stock Appreciation Rights

a. General. A Stock Appreciation Right (a “SAR”) is an Award entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount in cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof (such form to be determined by the Committee), determined solely by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock. The date as of which such appreciation or other measure is determined shall be the exercise date of the SAR Award.

b. Grants. SARs may be granted in tandem with, or independently of, Options granted under the Plan.

(1) Tandem Awards. When SARs are expressly granted in tandem with Options: (i) the SARs will be exercisable only at such time or times, and to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable, and will be exercisable in accordance with the procedure required for exercise of the related Option; (ii) the SARs will terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, except that a SAR granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by an Option will not be terminated until and only to the extent that the number of shares as to which the related Option has been exercised or has terminated exceeds the number of shares not covered by the SAR; (iii) the Option will terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the exercise of the related SAR; and (iv) the SAR will be transferable only with the related Option.

(2) Independent Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR not expressly granted in tandem with an Option will become exercisable at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Committee may specify in the SAR Award.

c. Terms and Conditions. The Committee shall determine all terms and conditions of a SAR Award, including, but not limited to (i) the number of shares subject to such SAR Award or a formula for determining such, (ii) the Performance Criteria, if any, and level of achievement of such Performance Criteria that shall determine the number of shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested or the amount of cash payable, (iii) the terms and conditions on the grant, issuance and/or forfeiture of the shares, and (iv) such further terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan.

d. Vesting of SAR Awards. Subject to Section 11(f) and Section 11(j), at the time of the grant of a SAR Award, the Committee shall establish a vesting date or vesting dates with respect to such SAR Award, provided that SARs awarded in tandem with Options shall be subject to the same vesting date or vesting dates established by the Committee pursuant to Section 4(g) for such related Options and shall be exercisable only to the extent that such related Option shall then be exercisable. The Committee may establish vesting dates based upon the passage of time and/or the satisfaction of Performance Criteria or other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Committee.

6. Restricted Stock.

a. Grants. The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock, subject to (i) delivery to the Company by the Participant of cash, a check or other sufficient legal consideration in an amount at least equal to the par value of the shares purchased, (ii) the right of the Company to repurchase or reacquire all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant in the event that conditions specified by the Committee in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Committee for such Award (each, a “Restricted Stock Award”), and (iii) Section 6(b).

b. Terms and Conditions. A Participant that is the holder of a Restricted Stock Award, whether vested or unvested, shall be entitled to enjoy all shareholder rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock

 

4


underlying such Restricted Stock Award, including the right to receive dividends and vote such shares. Subject to Section 6(c), the Committee shall determine all terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Award, including, but not limited to (i) the number of shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award or a formula for determining such, (ii) the purchase price of the shares, if any, and the means of payment for the shares, (iii) the Performance Criteria, if any, and level of achievement of such Performance Criteria that shall determine the number of shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) the terms and conditions on the grant, issuance and/or forfeiture of the shares, and (v) such further terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan. At the Committee’s election, shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award may be (i) held in book entry form subject to the Company’s instructions until any restrictions relating to the Restricted Stock Award lapses, or (ii) evidenced by a stock certificate that may bear a legend indicating that the ownership of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate is subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Plan and the Restricted Stock Award. Any stock certificates issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant. All certificates registered in the name of the Participant shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be deposited by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee). After the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions to the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the beneficiary designated by the Participant, in a manner determined by the Committee, to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death (the “Designated Beneficiary”). In the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, Designated Beneficiary shall mean the Participant’s estate.

c. Vesting of Restricted Stock. Subject to Section 11(f) and Section 11(j), at the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall establish a vesting date or vesting dates with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Award, which vesting dates may be based upon the passage of time and/or the satisfaction of Performance Criteria or other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Committee; provided, that all Restricted Stock Awards, other than Awards granted under Section 11(l), shall have a minimum vesting period of no less than one (1) year for Restricted Stock Awards granted subject to Performance Criteria and no less than three (3) years for all other Restricted Stock Awards.

7. Restricted Stock Unit.

a. Grants. The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock in the future, with the future delivery of the Common Stock subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the satisfaction of one or more specified conditions (each, a “Restricted Stock Unit”).

b. Terms and Conditions. Subject to Section 7(c), the Committee shall determine all terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Unit, including, but not limited to (i) the number of shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit or a formula for determining such, (ii) the purchase price of the shares, if any, and the means of payment for the shares, (iii) the Performance Criteria, if any, and level of achievement of such Performance Criteria that shall determine the number of shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) the terms and conditions on the grant, issuance and/or forfeiture of the shares, and (v) such further terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan. A Participant may not vote the shares represented by a Restricted Stock Unit. A Restricted Stock Unit may be settled in cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, with the amount of the cash payment based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of vesting. Any such settlements may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish.

c. Vesting of Restricted Stock Unit. Subject to Section 11(f) and Section 11(j), at the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Committee shall establish a vesting date or vesting dates with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Unit, which vesting dates may be based upon the passage of time and/or the satisfaction of Performance Criteria or other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Committee; provided, that all Awards of Restricted Stock Units, other than Awards

 

5


granted under Section 11(l), shall have a minimum vesting period of no less than one (1) year for Restricted Stock Units granted subject to Performance Criteria and no less than three (3) years for all other Restricted Stock Units.

8. Phantom Stock.

a. General. The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to receive, in cash or shares, the Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock (“Phantom Stock”) upon the satisfaction of one or more specified conditions.

b. Terms and Conditions.

The Committee shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the Common Stock and having such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of shares based upon certain conditions and/or Performance Criteria, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock and the grant of stock units. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Awards, including, but not limited to (i) the number of shares subject to such Award or a formula for determining such, (ii) the purchase price of the shares, if any, and the means of payment for the shares, (iii) the Performance Criteria, if any, and level of achievement of such Performance Criteria that shall determine the number of shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) the terms and conditions on the grant, issuance and/or forfeiture of the shares or Award, and (v) such further terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan.

10. Cash Awards.

a. Grants. The Committee may grant cash awards (each, a “Cash Award”), either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan.

b. Terms and Conditions. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Cash Award. From time to time, the Committee shall establish administrative rules and procedures governing the administration of Cash Awards.

6


each year to the Company’s executive officers and certain eligible senior employees each year based on certain Performance Criteria that may include, among other criteria, overall corporate and/or individual business group’s or division’s performance during the prior fiscal year, as determined by the Committee. Variable Compensation Awards are calculated based on a percentage of the Participant’s base annual salary (“Variable Compensation Factor”) and start at 5% for new Participants. Variable Compensation Factors are reviewed annually and typically do not exceed 100%.The Committee may not authorize a Variable Compensation payout based on Performance Criteria in excess of 200%. A newly hired executive officer or employee, who is approved for eligibility for Variable Compensation Awards, will be eligible to receive a Variable Compensation Award for their first year of employment, pro-rated from the date of hire. The Committee may rely upon the recommendation of the Company’s senior management in granting Variable Compensation Awards to eligible Participants who do not constitute executive officers of the Company, including as to the amount and terms of any such Awards and the satisfaction of Performance Criteria.

11. General Provisions Applicable to Awards.

a. Transferability of Awards. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine or provide in an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant, provided, however, that Nonstatutory Stock Options may be transferred to a grantor-retained annuity trust or a similar estate-planning vehicle in which the trust is bound by all provisions of the Option which are applicable to the Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees of such an Option.

b. Documentation. Each Award granted under the Plan, with the exception of Cash Awards, shall be evidenced by a written Award agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Award agreements shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Plan and may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan as the Committee shall deem advisable. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Award agreement shall contain, or refer to, such provisions relating to exercise and other matters as are required of “incentive stock options” under the Code. Award agreements may be evidenced by an electronic transmission (including an e-mail or reference to a website or other URL) sent to the Participant through the Company’s normal process for communicating electronically with its employees. As a condition to receiving an Award, the Committee may require the Participant to affirmatively accept the Award and agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award agreement by physically and/or electronically executing the Award agreement or by otherwise physically and/or electronically acknowledging such acceptance and agreement. With or without such affirmative acceptance, however, the Committee may prescribe conditions (including the exercise or attempted exercise of any benefit conferred by the Award) under which the proposed Participant may be deemed to have accepted the Award and agreed to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award agreement.

c. Committee Discretion. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical, and the Committee need not treat Participants uniformly.

d. Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a division, business unit or Subsidiary, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee in the Award: cash flow; earnings per share; earnings before interest, taxes and amortization; return on equity; total shareholder return; share price performance; return on capital; return on assets or net assets; revenue; income or net income; operating income or net operating income; operating profit or net operating profit; operating margin or profit margin; return on operating revenue; return on invested capital; market segment share; product release schedules; new product innovation; product cost reduction; brand recognition/acceptance; product ship targets; process improvement results; verification of business strategy and/or business plan; improvement of strategic position; adaptation to changes in the marketplace or environment; or customer satisfaction. If the Award so provides, the Committee may appropriately evaluate achievement against Performance Criteria to take

 

7


into account any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: asset write-downs; litigation or claim judgments or settlements; the effect of changes in tax law; accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and any extraordinary non-recurring charges or other events. The Committee may prescribe the foregoing criteria either individually or in combination. The Committee’s determination of the achievement of any Performance Criteria shall be conclusive. The minimum vesting period for all Full Value Awards granting shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Criteria, other than Full Value Awards granted under Section 11(l) herein, shall be no less than one (1) year.

e. Termination of Status. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Committee shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, or the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary, may exercise rights under the Award under such circumstances, subject to applicable law and the provisions of the Code.

f. Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company.

(i) Consequences of an Acquisition. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Company immediately preceding the consummation of such event shall, immediately following such event, hold, as a group, less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving or successor entity, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise (each, an “Acquisition”), the Committee or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Committee”), shall, as to outstanding Awards, either (A) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Awards by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Awards either (1) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (2) shares of stock of the surviving or successor corporation or (3) such other securities as the Committee or the Successor Committee deems appropriate, the Fair Market Value of which shall not materially exceed the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards immediately preceding the Acquisition; or (B) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all Awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or to be exercisable as a result of the Acquisition, within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Awards shall terminate; or (C) terminate all Awards in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such Awards (to the extent then exercisable or to be exercisable as a result of the Acquisition) over the exercise price thereof, if any; or (D) in the case of Awards that may be settled in whole or in part in cash, provide for equitable treatment of such Awards.

(ii) Substitution of Awards Upon Certain Events. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards issued by such entity or an affiliate thereof. The substitute Awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

(iii) Liquidation or Dissolution. In the event of the proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company, each Award, except for Cash Awards already earned, to the extent not then exercised or vested, will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action or at such other time and subject to such other conditions as shall be determined by the Committee.

g. Withholding. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provisions satisfactory to the Company for payment, of any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date of the event creating the tax withholding obligation. The Committee may allow Participants to satisfy such tax withholding obligations in whole or in part by transferring shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant.

 

8


h. Amendment of Awards. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award including, but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, the vesting provisions (subject to the minimum vesting requirements set forth herein), Performance Criteria, or level of achievement of Performance Criteria, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option; provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 11(f)(i), the Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless the Committee determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant; provided, further, that subject to Section 3(c), an Option may not be amended subsequent to its issuance either to reduce the price at which such previously issued Option is exercisable or to extend the period of time for which such previously-issued Option shall be exercisable beyond ten (10) years unless such amendment is approved by the Company’s shareholders. Furthermore, no Option shall be canceled and replaced with Options having a lower exercise price unless such cancellation and exchange is approved by the Company’s shareholders.

i. Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, and (iv) the Participant has paid to the Company, or made provisions satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with the Award.

j. Acceleration. The Committee may at any time provide (i) that any Option shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, (ii) that Awards that may be settled in whole or in part in cash may become immediately exercisable in full or in part, and (iii) in connection with the disability, death or retirement of a Participant or in connection with an event contemplated by Section 11(f)(i), (A) that any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit shall become exercisable in full or in part or shall be free of some or all restrictions or the risk of forfeiture or (B) that any other Full Value Award shall become exercisable in full or in part or free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be. The Committee may take the actions contemplated by the preceding sentence despite the fact that such actions may (x) cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if an event contemplated by Section 11(f)(i) occurs, or (y) disqualify all or part of an Option as an Incentive Stock Option. In the event of the acceleration of the exercisability of one or more outstanding Options, including pursuant to Section 11(f)(i), the Committee may provide, as a condition of accelerated exercisability of any or all such Options, that the Common Stock or other substituted consideration, including cash, as to which exercisability has been accelerated shall be restricted and subject to forfeiture back to the Company at the election of the Company at the cost thereof upon termination of employment or other relationship, with the timing and other terms of the vesting of such restricted Common Stock or other consideration being not less favorable to the Participant than the timing and other terms of the superseded vesting schedule of the related Option.

k. Option or SAR Award Exchange. The Committee may, from time to time, upon obtaining shareholder approval therefor, undertake an exchange program under which employees deemed eligible by the Committee may elect to surrender for cancellation then existing Awards under the Plan or outstanding, unexercised options previously granted under the Company’s 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan, 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan and 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, that have, at the time, an exercise price at or above a level determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee in exchange for cash and/or another Award under the Plan, the form of such consideration to be determined by the Committee.

l. Exception to Minimum Vesting Periods. The Committee may grant up to 5% of the maximum, aggregate shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance hereunder in the form of Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and other Awards based upon Common Stock that do not comply with the minimum vesting periods set forth in Sections 6(c), 7(c), 9 and 13.

 

9


m. Compliance with Section 409A. Any other provision of the Plan or any Award to the contrary notwithstanding, the Plan and every Award hereunder shall be construed, administered and enforced as necessary to comply with applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury and IRS rulings and regulations issued thereunder, so that no Participant shall (without such Participant’s express written consent) incur any of the additional tax or interest liabilities of Section 409A(a)(B) of the Code with respect to any Award. The Plan and each Award are hereby modified and limited as necessary to comply with applicable requirements of Section 409A.

12. Foreign Jurisdictions.

To the extent that the Committee determines that the material terms set by the Committee or imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Plan in jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to modify those terms and provide for such other terms and conditions as the Committee determines to be necessary, appropriate or desirable to accommodate differences in local law, policy or custom or to facilitate administration of the Plan. The Committee may adopt or approve sub-plans, appendices or supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable for such purpose, without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose. The special terms and any appendices, supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as then in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders. The Committee shall also have the authority and discretion to delegate the foregoing powers to appropriate officers of the Company.

13. Grant of Awards to Non-Employee Directors.

Each person who is a member of the Board of Directors and who is not an employee of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) shall be automatically granted Awards having a Fair Market Value or exerciseable for shares having a Fair Market Value, as the case may be, on the day of such grant as follows:

a. on the date such Non-Employee Director is first elected to the Board of Directors, equal to $150,000 ; and

b. on the first Monday in February in each year, equal to $110,000.

Awards granted under this Section 13 may be any of the following: Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock, Nonstatutory Stock Options, SARs, or cash, or a combination of the foregoing. Awards granted under the Plan shall be in addition to the annual Board and Committee cash retainers paid by the Company to the Non-Employee Directors. The type of Awards granted under this Section 13 shall be determined, in each instance, at the Committee’s discretion (subject to the foregoing limitations). The number of shares, if any, covered by Awards granted under this Section 13 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c) of this Plan. Subject to Section 11(f) and Section 11(j), an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 13 shall have a minimum vesting period of no less than one (1) year for Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted subject to Performance Criteria and no less than three (3) years for all other Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted, unless such Award is granted under Section 11(l), and shall expire on the date which is ten (10) years after the date of grant of such Award. Any Options, SARs or other cash Awards granted pursuant to this Section 13 may, at the Committee’s discretion, be immediately exercisable in their entirety on the date of grant.

Form of Executive Officer Performance-based RSU Grant Agreement (2006 Plan)


RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT TERMS

This award is governed by and subject to Teradyne’s 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which, together with the following provisions, controls the meaning of terms and the rights of the recipient. Capitalized and defined terms used and not defined below will have the meaning set forth in the Plan. In the event of any inconsistencies or differences between the Plan and these terms, the Plan shall prevail.

1. Award Grant, Vesting and Transfer

(a) Payment of par value. Teradyne hereby grants to the recipient the right to receive up to that number of shares of Teradyne common stock as is set forth on the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant attached hereto. When the underlying shares of Teradyne common stock are issued to the recipient, par value will be deemed paid by the recipient for each share by past services rendered by the recipient.

(b) Vesting of Award. None of this grant will be vested on the Effective Date. The number of Actual Performance-Based Shares that will be allowed to vest is uncertain at the time of the grant but is expected to be determined near the three-year anniversary of the grant, based on the determination by the Committee or Teradyne’s Board of Directors of the Performance Percentage. The “Performance Percentage” is a percentage ranging from 0-200% determined using criteria similar to that which was used over the prior three years to determine the annual variable compensation payout. The Performance Percentage shall be multiplied against the Target Performance-Based Shares granted to derive the number of Actual Performance-Based Shares which will vest on the third year anniversary of the Effective Date. The portion of the grant that is not allowed to vest on the third year anniversary will be forfeited. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date that any installment of this award becomes vested in the event of disability, death, retirement or upon the acquisition of control of Teradyne by another entity.

(c) This award will not vest further after termination of employment or other business relationship except in limited certain circumstances. This award will not vest after the recipient’s employment or other business relationship ends, regardless of the reason, provided, however, that if the recipient’s employment or other business relationship with Teradyne ends on account of disability, that portion of this award which would have vested under the applicable rule stated in (b) above shall continue to vest for a period of thirty (30) months following his or her termination of employment or business relationship on account of disability.

Employment or another business relationship shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide leave of absence (such as those attributable to illness or military obligations) provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days or, in the case of an employee, if longer, any period during which the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute. A bona fide leave of absence with the written approval of the Committee shall not be considered an interruption of employment or other business relationship, provided that such written approval contractually obligates the Company to continue the employment or other business relationship of the recipient after the approved period of absence.

(d) No rights as stockholder; Issuance. The recipient shall not have any right in, to or with respect to any shares which may be covered by this award (including but not limited to the right to vote or to receive dividends) until the award is settled by issuance of shares to the recipient. All vested shares issued in respect of this award will be transferred or issued to the recipient (or his or her estate, in the event of his or her death) promptly after the date they vest but in any event within 2 1/2 months following the calendar year in which they become vested (or any earlier date, after vesting, required to avoid characterization as non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code). Teradyne will not be required to transfer or issue any vested shares until arrangements satisfactory to it have been made to address any income, withholding and employment tax requirements which might arise by reason of the vesting and transfer or issuance of shares.

(e) This award may not be assigned or transferred. Other than as provided in Section 11(a) of the Plan, this award is not assignable or transferable (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution).

2. Capital Changes and Business Succession. Section 3(c) of the Plan, contains provisions for adjusting (or substituting) the number, vesting schedule, exercise, price and other terms of outstanding stock-based Awards under the Plan if a recapitalization, stock split, merger, or other specified event occurs, and a Committee of the Board of Directors determines that an adjustment (or substitution) is appropriate. In that event, the recipient of the award will be notified of the adjustment (or substitution), if any.

3. Employment or Business Relationship. Granting this award does not imply any right of continued employment or business relationship by the Company , and does not affect the right of the recipient or the Company to terminate employment or a business relationship at any time.

4. Retirement. Upon the recipient’s retirement from the Company, the number of Actual Performance-Based Shares shall be determined in accordance with rules established by the Committee.

5. Stock Registration. Shares to be issued under this award are currently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If such registration is not in effect at the time of vesting, the recipient will be required to represent to the Company that he or she is acquiring such shares as an investment and not with a view to the sale of those shares.

6. Term. This Agreement will terminate on                          , 20xx.

Exhibit 10.14

TERADYNE, INC.

1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(as amended as of May 24, 2007)

Article 1 - - Purpose.

This 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees of Teradyne, Inc. (the “Company”), a Massachusetts corporation, and its participating subsidiaries (as defined in Article 17) so that they may share in the growth of the Company by acquiring or increasing their proprietary interest in the Company. The Plan is designed to encourage eligible employees to remain in the employ of the Company and its participating subsidiaries. The Plan is intended to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Article 2 - Administration of the Plan.

The Plan may be administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”). The Committee shall consist of not less than two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee. Vacancies on the Committee, howsoever caused, shall be filled by the Board of Directors. The Committee may select one of its members as Chairman, and shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. Acts by a majority of the Committee, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee.

The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any option granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem best, provided that any such rules and regulations shall be applied on a uniform basis to all employees under the Plan. No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted under it.

In the event the Board of Directors fails to appoint or refrains from appointing a Committee, the Board of Directors shall have all power and authority to administer the Plan. In such event, the word “Committee” wherever used herein shall be deemed to mean the Board of Directors.

Article 3 - Eligible Employees.

No option may be granted to any person serving as a member of the Committee at the time of grant. Subject to the foregoing limitation, all employees of the Company or any of its participating subsidiaries who are employees of the Company or any of its participating subsidiaries on or before the first day of any Payment Period (as defined in Article 5), and whose customary employment is not less than twenty hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year shall be eligible to receive options under the Plan to purchase common stock of the Company, par value $.125 per share (“Common Stock”). All eligible employees shall have the same rights and privileges hereunder. Persons who elect to enter the Plan in accordance with Article 7 and who are eligible employees on the first business day of any Payment Period (as defined in Article 5) shall receive their options as of such day. Persons who elect to enter the Plan in accordance with Article 7 and who become eligible employees after any date on which options are granted under the Plan shall be granted options on the first business day of the next succeeding Payment Period on which options are granted to eligible employees under the Plan. In no event, however, may an employee be granted an option if such employee, immediately after the option was granted, would be treated as owning stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation, as the terms “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” are defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code. For purposes


of determining stock ownership under this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply, and stock which the employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the employee.

Article 4 - Stock Subject to the Plan.

The stock subject to the options under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 20,400,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 12. If any option granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available under the Plan.

Article 5 - Payment Periods and Stock Options.

For the duration of the Plan, a Payment Period shall be defined as each six-month period commencing on the first day of January and ending on the last day of June and commencing on the first day of July and ending on the last day of December of each calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Payment Period during which payroll deductions will be accumulated under the Plan shall commence on July 1, 1996 and shall end on December 31, 1996.

On the first business day of each Payment Period, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the Plan an option to purchase on the last day of such Payment Period, at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, a maximum number of shares (limited in accordance with this Article 5 and Article 8) on condition that such employee remains eligible to participate in the Plan throughout the remainder of such Payment Period. The participant shall be entitled to exercise the option so granted only to the extent of the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of such Payment Period. The Option Price per share for each Payment Period shall be the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the first business day of the Payment Period and (ii) 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the last business day of the Payment Period, in either event rounded up to the nearest cent. The foregoing limitation on the number of shares subject to option and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article 12.

For purposes of the Plan, the term “fair market value” on any date means (i) the closing price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on a national securities exchange; or (iii) if the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee after taking into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length.

For purposes of the Plan, the term “business day” means a day on which there is trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the aforementioned national securities exchange, whichever is applicable pursuant to the preceding paragraph; and if neither is applicable, a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in Massachusetts.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no employee shall be granted an option which permits the employee’s right to purchase stock under the Plan, and under all other Section 423(b) employee stock purchase plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporations, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined on the date or dates that options on such stock were granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. The purpose of the limitation in the preceding sentence is to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code. If the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of the Payment Period would otherwise enable the participant to purchase Common Stock in excess of the Section 423(b)(8) $25,000 limitation described

 

2


in this paragraph, the excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over the aggregate purchase price of the shares actually purchased shall be promptly refunded to the participant by the Company, without interest.

Article 6 - Exercise of Option.

Each eligible employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan on the last day of a Payment Period shall be deemed to have exercised his or her option on such date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the Company such number of full shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan as the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on such date will pay for at the Option Price, subject to the Section 423(b)(8) $25,000 limitation described in Article 5. If the individual is not a participant on the last day of a Payment Period, then he or she shall not be entitled to exercise his or her option. Only full shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan. Unused payroll deductions remaining in a participant’s account at the end of a Payment Period solely by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional share (and for no other reason) shall be refunded without interest.

Article 7 - Authorization for Entering the Plan.

An employee may elect to enter the Plan by filling out, signing and delivering to the Company an authorization:

A. Stating the percentage to be deducted from the employee’s pay;

B. Authorizing the purchase of stock for the employee in each Payment Period in accordance with the terms of the Plan; and

C. Specifying the exact name or names in which stock purchased for the employee is to be issued as provided under Article 11 hereof.

Such authorization must be received by the Company on or before the first day of the next succeeding Payment Period.

Unless a participant files a new authorization or withdraws from the Plan, the deductions and purchases under the authorization the participant has on file under the Plan will continue from one Payment Period to succeeding Payment Periods as long as the Plan remains in effect.

The Company will accumulate and hold for each participant’s account the amounts deducted from his or her pay. No interest will be paid on these amounts.

Article 8 - Maximum Amount of Payroll Deductions.

An employee may authorize payroll deductions in an amount (expressed as a whole percentage) not less than two percent (2%) but not more than ten percent (10%) of the employee’s cash compensation.

Article 9 - Change in Payroll Deductions.

Deductions may not be increased during a Payment Period. Deductions may be decreased during a Payment Period, provided that an employee may not decrease his deduction more than once during any Payment Period.

Article 10 - Withdrawal from the Plan.

A participant may withdraw from the Plan (in whole but not in part) at any time prior to the last day of a Payment Period by delivering a withdrawal notice to the Company, in which event the Company will refund the entire balance of the deductions as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

3


To re-enter the Plan, an employee who has previously withdrawn must file a new authorization on or before the first day of the next Payment Period in which he or she wishes to participate. The employee’s re-entry into the Plan becomes effective at the beginning of such Payment Period, provided that he or she is an eligible employee on the first business day of the Payment Period.

Article 11 - Issuance of Stock.

Certificates for stock issued to participants shall be delivered as soon as practicable after each Payment Period by the Company’s transfer agent.

Stock purchased under the Plan shall be issued only in the name of the participant, or if the participant’s authorization so specifies, in the name of the participant and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

Article 12 - Adjustments.

Upon the happening of any of the following described events, a participant’s rights under options granted under the Plan shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided:

A. In the event that the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if, upon a reorganization, split-up, liquidation, recapitalization or the like of the Company, the shares of Common Stock shall be exchanged for other securities of the Company, each participant shall be entitled, subject to the conditions herein stated, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock or amount of other securities of the Company as were exchangeable for the number of shares of Common Stock that such participant would have been entitled to purchase except for such action, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or exchange; and

B. In the event the Company shall issue any of its shares as a stock dividend upon or with respect to the shares of stock of the class which shall at the time be subject to options hereunder, each participant upon exercising such an option shall be entitled to receive (for the purchase price paid upon such exercise) the shares as to which the participant is exercising his or her option and, in addition thereto (at no additional cost), such number of shares of the class or classes in which such stock dividend or dividends were declared or paid, and such amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, as is equal to the number of shares thereof and the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, respectively, which the participant would have received if the participant had been the holder of the shares as to which the participant is exercising his or her option at all times between the date of the granting of such option and the date of its exercise.

Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events, the class and aggregate number of shares set forth in Article 4 hereof which are subject to options which have been or may be granted under the Plan and the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Article 5 shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events specified in paragraphs A and B above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to paragraphs A or B shall be made only after the Committee, based on advice of counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would constitute a “modification” (as that term is defined in Section 424 of the Code). If the Committee determines that such adjustments would constitute a modification, it may refrain from making such adjustments.

If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise (an “Acquisition”), the Committee or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”) shall, with respect to options then outstanding under the Plan, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such options by arranging for the substitution on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such options either (a) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation, or (c) such other securities as the Successor Board deems

 

4


appropriate, the fair market value of which shall not exceed the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such options immediately preceding the Acquisition; or (ii) terminate each participant’s options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value on the date of the Acquisition of the number of shares of Common Stock that the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions as of the date of the Acquisition could purchase, at an option price determined with reference only to the first business day of the applicable Payment Period and subject to Code Section 423(b)(8) and fractional-share limitations on the amount of stock a participant would be entitled to purchase over the aggregate option price to such participant thereof.

The Committee or Successor Board shall determine the adjustments to be made under this Article 12, and its determination shall be conclusive.

Article 13 - No Transfer or Assignment of Employee’s Rights.

An option granted under the Plan may not be transferred or assigned, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any option granted under the Plan may be exercised, during the participant’s lifetime, only by the participant.

Article 14 - Termination of Employee’s Rights.

Whenever a participant ceases to be an eligible employee because of retirement, voluntary or involuntary termination, resignation, layoff, discharge, death or for any other reason, his or her rights under the Plan shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall promptly refund, without interest, the entire balance of his or her payroll deduction account under the Plan; provided, however, that if an employee is laid off during the last three months of any Payment Period, he shall nevertheless be deemed to be a participant in the Plan on the last day of the Payment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, eligible employment shall be treated as continuing intact while a participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, for up to 90 days, or, if such leave is longer than 90 days, for so long as the participant’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by statute or by written contract. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if a participant’s employment is terminated by reason of retirement, and the date of such termination occurs after the date that is 3 months prior to the last day of the Payment Period, such participant’s rights under the Plan are not immediately terminated, and if the participant has not withdrawn from the Plan, such participant’s options shall be deemed to have been exercised on the last day of the Payment Period in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Article 15 - Termination and Amendments to Plan.

The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company’s Board of Directors but such termination shall not affect options then outstanding under the Plan. If at any time shares of stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan remain available for purchase but not in sufficient number to satisfy all then unfilled purchase requirements, the available shares shall be apportioned among participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions accumulated on behalf of each participant that would otherwise be used to purchase stock, and the Plan shall terminate. Upon such termination or any other termination of the Plan, all payroll deductions not used to purchase stock will be refunded, without interest.

The Committee or the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt amendments to the Plan provided that, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, no amendment may (i) increase the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan; (ii) change the class of employees eligible to receive options under the Plan, if such action would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Code Section 423(b) and the regulations thereunder; (iii) cause Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to become inapplicable to the Plan or (iv) materially revise the Plan pursuant to the rules and regulations of the NYSE.

Article 16 - Limits on Sale of Stock Purchased under the Plan.

The Plan is intended to provide shares of Common Stock for investment and not for resale. The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or influence any employee in the conduct of his or her own affairs. An employee may, therefore, sell stock purchased under the Plan at any time the employee chooses, subject to compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws and subject to any restrictions imposed under Article 21 to ensure that tax withholding obligations are satisfied. THE EMPLOYEE ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY MARKET FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE STOCK.

Article 17 - Participating Subsidiaries.

The term “participating subsidiary” shall mean any present or future subsidiary of the Company, as that term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, that is designated from time to time by the Committee to participate in the Plan. The Committee shall have the power to make such designation before or after the Plan is approved by the shareholders.

Article 18 - Optionees Not Shareholders.

Neither the granting of an option to an employee nor the deductions from his or her pay shall constitute such employee a stockholder of the shares covered by an option until such shares have been actually purchased by the employee.

Article 19 - Application of Funds.

The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to options granted under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.

Article 20 - Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition.

By electing to participate in the Plan, each participant agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the participant transfers Common Stock acquired under the Plan, if such transfer occurs within two years after the first business day of the Payment Period in which such Common Stock was acquired. Each participant further agrees to provide any information about such a transfer as may be requested by the Company or any subsidiary corporation in order to assist it in complying with the tax laws. Such dispositions generally are treated as “disqualifying dispositions” under Sections 421 and 424 of the Code, which have certain tax consequences to participants and to the Company and its participating subsidiaries.

Article 21 - Withholding of Additional Income Taxes.

By electing to participate in the Plan, each participant acknowledges that the Company and its participating subsidiaries are required to withhold taxes with respect to the amounts deducted from the participant’s compensation and accumulated for the benefit of the participant under the Plan, and each participant agrees that the Company and its participating subsidiaries may deduct additional amounts from the participant’s compensation, when amounts are added to the participant’s account, used to purchase Common Stock or refunded, in order to satisfy such withholding obligations. Each participant further acknowledges that when Common Stock is purchased under the Plan the Company and its participating subsidiaries may be required to withhold taxes with respect to all or a portion of the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock purchased and its purchase price, and each participant agrees that such taxes may be withheld from compensation otherwise payable to such participant. It is intended that tax withholding will be accomplished in such a manner that the full amount of payroll deductions elected by the participant under Article 7 will be used to purchase Common Stock. However, if amounts sufficient to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations have not been withheld from compensation otherwise payable to any participant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company may withhold such taxes from the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and apply the net amount to the

 

6


purchase of Common Stock, unless the participant pays to the Company, prior to the exercise date, an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligations. Each participant further acknowledges that the Company and its participating subsidiaries may be required to withhold taxes in connection with the disposition of stock acquired under the Plan and agrees that the Company or any participating subsidiary may take whatever action it considers appropriate to satisfy such withholding requirements, including deducting from compensation otherwise payable to such participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements or conditioning any disposition of Common Stock by the participant upon the payment to the Company or such subsidiary of an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements.

Article 22 - Governmental Regulations.

The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock under the Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such shares.

Government regulations may impose reporting or other obligations on the Company with respect to the Plan. For example, the Company may be required to identify shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan on its stock ownership records and send tax information statements to employees and former employees who transfer title to such shares.

Article 23 - Governing Law.

The validity and construction of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Article 24 - Approval of Board of Directors and Stockholders of the Company.

The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 19, 1996 and on such date the Board of Directors resolved that the Plan was to be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval at the next meeting of shareholders. The plan was subsequently approved by the shareholders.

PURPOSE AND EFFECTIVE DATE

Teradyne, Inc. established the Teradyne, Inc. Supplemental Savings Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of December 1, 1994 for the benefit of a select group of its highly paid employees. The Plan was subsequently amended by the First Amendment, which was generally effective as of January 1, 2002. The Plan has been operated in compliance with Code Section 409A since January 1, 2005 with respect to amounts subject to Code Section 409A. The last amendment and restatement was intended to memorialize any changes in operation in the Plan as of January 1, 2005 as required by Code Section 409A. This amendment and restatement clarifies certain provisions and makes additional changes as required or permitted by Code Section 409A, including the extension of the transition election period as described in Section 3.6.

Teradyne, Inc. adopted this written amendment and restatement of the Plan on November 6, 2007 and applies to elective and non-elective amounts deferred on or after January 1, 2005 and for amounts deferred before January 1, 2005 that were not both earned and vested on December 31, 2004. The Plan as amended and restated is intended to conform with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be administered in a manner consistent therewith. All amounts deferred under the Plan that are subject to Code Section 409A shall be separately accounted for and administered within each Participant’s Account. All other changes are effective as otherwise provided herein.

Amounts attributable to a Participant’s vested account under the Plan on December 31, 2004 shall be separately accounted for in each Participant’s Grandfathered Account. Elections made with respect to amounts credited to a Participant’s Grandfathered Account and amounts payable from a Participant’s Grandfathered Account shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004 and the law as in effect prior to Code Section 409A.

The purpose of the Plan is to permit eligible employees to elect to defer receipt of compensation otherwise payable currently and to enable the employer to credit eligible employees with matching contributions.

The Plan is intended to be a “plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and shall be administered in a manner consistent therewith.

The Account shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant pursuant to the Plan.

The Employer shall notify an employee of his status as an Eligible Employee at such time and in such manner as the Employer shall determine. Each Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan by executing a deferral agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.

2-1


ARTICLE 3 – PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS

 

3.1. Deferral Agreement. Each Eligible Employee may elect to defer amounts otherwise payable to him currently for the Plan Year by executing a deferral agreement in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator and the provisions of this Article 3. The deferral agreement must separately specify for each discrete type of compensation (i.e., Compensation and VC Award) the whole number percentage multiple that the Participant elects to defer and the timing of payment of the deferred amount.

A new deferral agreement must be timely executed for each Plan Year during which the Eligible Employee elects to defer compensation. An Eligible Employee who does not timely execute a deferral agreement shall be deemed to have elected zero deferrals for such Plan Year.

A deferral agreement may be changed or revoked at any time during the respective periods specified in Section 3.4. A deferral agreement becomes irrevocable at the close of the respective period and remains in effect throughout the applicable Plan Year even if the Eligible Employee transfers from one Employer to another Employer.

 

3.2 Election to Defer Compensation. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Compensation (in 1% increments) from 1% to the maximum percentage established for the Plan Year by the Employer. The maximum percentage shall be communicated annually to Eligible Employees prior to the annual election period described in Section 3.4 for the relevant Plan Year, but in no event shall the maximum percentage exceed 85% of the Eligible Employee’s base salary for the Plan Year.

 

3.3. Election to Defer VC Award. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer (in 1% increments) from 1% to 85% of his VC Award for a Plan Year.

 

3.4 Timing of Election to Defer. Each Eligible Employee who desires to defer Compensation otherwise payable during a Plan Year must execute a deferral agreement within the period preceding the Plan Year specified by the Administrator. Each Eligible Employee who desires to defer a VC Award must execute a deferral agreement within the period preceding the Plan Year during which the VC Award is earned that is specified by the Administrator, except that if the VC Award can be treated as “performance based compensation which is based upon services performed over a period of at least twelve months” as described in Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, such deferral agreement must be executed no later than the date established for this purpose by the Administrator which, in no event, shall be after the date which is six months before the end of the performance period in which the VC Award is earned.


Except as otherwise provided below, an employee who is classified or designated as an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year may elect to defer Compensation and/or VC Award otherwise payable during the remainder of such Plan Year in accordance with the rules of this Section 3.4 by executing a deferral agreement within the thirty (30) day beginning on the date the employee is classified or designated as an Eligible Employee. If a VC Award is based on a specific performance period that begins before the Eligible Employee executes his deferral agreement, the election will be deemed to apply to that portion of the VC Award equal to the total amount of the VC Award for the performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election to the total number of days in the performance period. The rules of this paragraph shall not apply if the Eligible Employee has ever participated or is participating in a “plan” within the meaning of Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) sponsored by the Employer.

 

3.5 Election of Distribution Event. At the time an Eligible Employee completes a deferral agreement, the Eligible Employee must separately elect for each type of remuneration being electively deferred (i.e., for Compensation and for VC Award), a distribution event that will trigger payment of the related deferred remuneration. Matching Contributions credited to a Participant’s Account during a Plan Year shall automatically be paid following the distribution event selected by the Participant for the related deferred remuneration because of which the Matching Contribution was credited.

The permissible distribution events are Separation from Service and a specified date that is at least five years after the first day of the Plan Year during which the related deferral agreement is effective. Payment will occur following the distribution event within the time period required by Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

All distributions will be made in a single lump sum.

 

3.6 Transitional Rule. The following transitional rule shall apply during calendar years 2007 and 2008. It will be implemented in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator.

With respect to calendar year 2007, a Participant may make new distribution elections with respect to amounts subject to Code Section 409A if the elections are made no later than December 31, 2007, except that the Participant cannot in 2007 change distribution elections with respect to amounts that would otherwise have become payable in 2007 or cause payments to be made in 2007. With respect to calendar year 2008, a Participant may make new distribution elections with respect to amounts subject to Code Section 409A if the elections are made no later than December 31, 2008, except that the Participant cannot in 2008 change

 

3-2


distribution elections with respect to amounts that would otherwise have become payable in 2008 or cause payments to be made in 2008. The new distribution elections may apply to amounts deferred before the date of the election and can be made without regard to Code Sections 409A(a)(3) and (4) and any inconsistent provisions in the Plan to the contrary. A Participant who fails to make a new distribution election in accordance with this Section 3.6 with respect to an amount for which a valid election under Code Section 409A has not been made will be deemed to have elected a lump sum distribution upon his Separation from Service.


ARTICLE 4 – MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

 

4.1 General Rules. For each Plan Year, the Employer shall credit Matching Contributions at the rate specified in Section 4.2 to the Account of each Participant who makes deferrals during the Plan Year and otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 4.1. Matching Contributions shall only be made on behalf of a Participant who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, provided, however, that a Participant whose Separation from Service occurs before the last day of the Plan Year because of death, Disability, layoff or Retirement shall be treated, for this purpose, as if employed on the last day of the Plan Year.

 

4.2 Rate of Matching Contributions Each Participant who (a) was actively employed by the Employer on October 29, 1999 and (b) elected to continue accruing benefits under the Retirement Plan for Employees of Teradyne, Inc. shall be eligible to be credited with (i) Matching Contributions equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s deferrals not exceeding six percent (6%) of the Participant’s Matchable Compensation and (ii) a discretionary Matching Contribution of up to an additional 50% of Participant deferrals not exceeding six percent (6%) of Matchable Compensation. Each other Participant shall be eligible to be credited with (i) Matching Contributions equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s deferrals not exceeding five percent (5%) of the Participant’s Matchable Compensation and (ii) a discretionary match of up to an additional 50% of Participant deferrals not exceeding five percent (5%) of Matchable Compensation.

The amount of Matching Contributions credited to the Account of each eligible Participant shall be calculated separately with respect to his Compensation deferrals and separately with respect to his VC Award deferrals and shall equal the sum of the amounts so determined.

 

4-1


ARTICLE 5 – PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

 

5.1 Establishment of Account. For accounting and computational purposes only, the Administrator will establish and maintain an Account for each Participant which will reflect the credits made pursuant to Section 5.2 and the adjustments provided in Section 5.4. The Administrator will establish and maintain such other records and accounts, including Grandfathered Accounts, as it decides in its discretion to be reasonably required or appropriate to discharge its duties under the Plan.

 

5.2 Credits to Account. A Participant’s Account will be credited for each Plan Year with (a) the amount of Compensation and VC Award he elects to defer in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 at the time the amount subject to the deferral election would otherwise have been paid to him but for his election to defer; and (b) the amount of Matching Contributions the Employer credits on his behalf pursuant to Article 4 as soon as administratively possible following the Plan Year.

 

5.3 Investment Options. The amount in a Participant’s Account and Grandfathered Account, if any, shall be treated as invested in the investment options designated for this purpose by the Administrator.

 

5.4 Adjustment of Accounts. The amount in a Participant’s Account and Grandfathered Account, if any, shall be adjusted for hypothetical investment earnings or losses in an amount equal to the gains or losses reported for the investment options selected by the Participant or Beneficiary (or by the Administrator if no selections are made by Participant or Beneficiary) from among the investment options provided in Section 5.3. A Participant may, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator and consistent with Code Section 409A, change the investments to be used for the purpose of calculating future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Participant’s Account and/or Grandfathered Account or to future credits to the Account under Section 5.2 effective as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to the Administrator. The Account and Grandfathered Account of each Participant shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect: (a) the hypothetical investment earnings and/or losses described above; (b) amounts credited pursuant to Section 5.2; and (c) distributions or withdrawals.

 

5-1


ARTICLE 6 – RIGHT TO BENEFITS

 

6.1 Vesting. A Participant, at all times, has a 100% nonforfeitable interest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to Participant deferrals made in accordance with Article 3. A Participant shall fully vest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to Matching Contributions upon his death while in the employ of the Employer, or upon Disability. Prior to January 1, 2007, a Participant shall vest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to Matching Contributions upon the completion of five years of Vesting Service. Beginning January 1, 2007, a Participant shall vest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to Matching Contributions at the rate of 25% per year of Vesting Service. A Participant, at all times, has a 100% nonforfeitable interest in all amounts credited to his Grandfathered Account.

 

6.2 Death. The balance or remaining balance credited to a Participant’s Account at the time of his death shall be paid to his Beneficiary in the form of a single lump sum payment. If multiple Beneficiaries have been designated each shall receive his specified portion of the Account in the form of a single lump sum payment. A Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be the party or parties entitled to receive benefits under the Savings Plan upon the Participant’s death. Actual payment will be made following the date of death within the time period permitted by Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the opinion of the Administrator, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the Participant’s Account, such amount will be paid to his estate in a single lump sum payment (such estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan).

The balance or remaining balance credited to a Participant’s Grandfathered Account shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004.

 

6-1


ARTICLE 7 – DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

 

7.1 Amount of Benefits. The vested amount credited to a Participant’s Account as determined under Articles 5 and 6 and the amount credited to his Grandfathered Account shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant under the Plan.

 

7.2 Method and Timing of Distributions from Account. Subject to Sections 7.4 and 7.6, distributions under the Plan shall be made following the occurrence of the distribution event specified by the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Article 3. At least twelve months before a scheduled distribution event, a Participant may elect, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, to delay the date of payment for a minimum period of sixty months from the originally scheduled payment date.

 

7.3 Distributions and Withdrawals from Grandfathered Account. Subject to Section 7.4, distributions and withdrawals from a Participant’s Grandfathered Account shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004.

 

7.4 Cashouts of Amounts Not Exceeding $25,000. If the aggregate amount credited to the Participant’s Account and Grandfathered Account does not exceed $25,000 at the time he incurs a Separation from Service, the Employer shall pay such amount to the Participant in a single lump sum payment regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of distribution events or forms of payment as to the amount credited to his Account and/or Grandfathered Account, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.4. Subject to Section 7.6, actual payment will occur within the time period required by Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder following the Participant’s Separation from Service. If a Participant had a valid election of a form of payment on file with the Administrator on December 31, 2004, the amount credited to the Participant’s Grandfathered Account shall be distributed in accordance with such election regardless of any provisions of this Section 7.4 to the contrary.

 

7.5

Permissible Delays in Payment. Distributions may be delayed beyond the date payment would otherwise occur in accordance with the provisions of Articles 6 and 7 in any of the following circumstances. The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by the application of Code Section 162(m). Payment must be made at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment amount will not be eliminated or limited by Code Section 162(m) or the calendar year in which the Participant incurs a Separation from Service. The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate a

 

7-1


 

term of a loan agreement or other similar contract to which the Employer is a party and such violation will cause material harm to the Employer. Payment must be made at the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause a violation or the violation will no longer cause material harm to the Employer. Payment cannot be delayed if the facts and circumstances indicate that the Employer entered into the loan agreement or similar contract not for legitimate business reasons but to avoid the restrictions on deferral elections and subsequent deferral elections under Code Section 409A. The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal Securities Laws or other applicable laws provided payment is made at the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The Employer also reserves the right to delay payment upon such other events and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

 

7.6 Key Employees. In no event shall a distribution made to a Key Employee from his Account occur before the date which is six months after the date of his Separation from Service with the Employer. For purposes of this Section 7.6, a Key Employee means an employee of an Employer any of whose stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise who satisfies the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(1), (ii) or (iii) determined without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5) at any time during the twelve-month period ending on date as of which the Employer annually identifies Key Employees (the ‘Identification Date’). An employee who is determined to be a Key Employee on an Identification Date shall be treated as a Key Employee for purposes of the six-month delay in distributions set forth in this Section 7.6 for the twelve-month period beginning on the first day of the fourth month following the Identification Date. Whether any stock of the Employer is traded on an established securities market or otherwise is determined on the date a Participant experiences a Separation from Service.

 

7.7

Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. The request must be in writing and must be submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted. Whether a Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but in no event, will an Unforeseeable Emergency be deemed to exist if the hardship can be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the

 

7-2


 

emergency need and may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income tax penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The distribution will be made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment. A Participant’s deferral elections for the remainder of the Plan Year will be cancelled upon a withdrawal due to Unforeseeable Emergency.

 

7-3


ARTICLE 8 – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

8.1 Amendment by Employer. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan (for itself and each Employer) through action of its Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors. An amendment must be in writing and executed by an officer authorized to take such action. Each amendment shall be effective when approved by the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors in its resolution. No amendment can directly or indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or any portion of his Account or Grandfathered Account which had accrued and vested prior to the amendment.

 

8.2 Retroactive Amendments. An amendment made by the Plan Sponsor in accordance with Section 8.1 may be made effective on a date prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which it is adopted if such amendment is necessary or appropriate to enable the Plan to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code or ERISA or to conform the Plan to any change in federal law or to any regulations or ruling thereunder. Any retroactive amendment by the Plan Sponsor shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.1.

 

8.3

Plan Termination. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan and distribute all amounts credited to all Participant accounts within the thirty day period preceding or the twelve months following a Change in Control as determined in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 8.5 through action of its Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors. For this purpose, the Plan will be treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor are terminated so that all Participants under the Plan and all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve months of the date of termination of the arrangements. In addition, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan within twelve months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to United States Code Section 503(b)(1)(A) provided that amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the gross incomes of Participants in the latest of (a) the calendar year in which the termination occurs, (b) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable. The Plan Sponsor retains the discretion to terminate the Plan if (a) all arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) are terminated, (b) no payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within twelve months of the termination of the arrangements, (c) all payments are made within twenty-four months of the termination of the arrangements, (d) the Plan Sponsor does not

 

8-1


 

adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) at any time within the five year period following the date of termination of the arrangement. The Plan Sponsor also reserves the right to terminate the Plan under such conditions and events as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

 

8.4 Distribution Upon Termination of the Plan. Except as provided in Section 8.3, the Plan may not be terminated before the date on which all amounts credited to all Participant accounts have been distributed in accordance with Articles 6 and 7.

 

8.5 Change in Control. A Change in Control will occur upon a change in the ownership of the Employer, a change in the effective control of the Employer or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer. The Employer, for this purpose, includes any corporation identified in this Section 8.5.

Whether a Change in Control has occurred will be determined by the Plan Sponsor in accordance with the rules and definitions set forth in this Section 8.5. A distribution to a Participant will be treated as occurring upon a Change in Control if the Plan Sponsor terminates the Plan and distributes the Participant’s benefits within twelve months of a Change in Control as provided in Section 8.3.

 

  (a) Relevant Corporations. To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (or all corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable), or (iii) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in (i) or (ii), or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority corporation of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in (i) or (ii). A majority shareholder is defined as a shareholder owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and voting power of such corporation.

 

  (b) Stock Ownership. Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option. Mutual and cooperative corporations are treated as having stock for purposes of this Section 8.5.

 

8-2


  (c) Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than one person acting as a proxy is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation as discussed below in Section 8.5(d)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 8.5(c) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes of this Section 8.5(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time or as a result of a public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.

 

  (d)

Change in the effective control of a corporation. A change in the effective control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any twelve month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph (ii), the term corporation refers solely to

 

8-3


 

the relevant corporation identified in Section 8.5(a) for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder for purposes of Section 8.5(a). In the absence of an event described in Section 8.5(d)(i) or (ii), a change in the effective control of a corporation will not have occurred. A change in effective control may also occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a change in the ownership of such corporation as described in Section 8.5(c) or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of such corporation as described in Section 8.5(e). If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation within the meaning of this Section 8.5(d), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation or to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation within the meaning of Section 8.5(c). For purposes of this Section 8.5(d), persons will or will not be considered to be acting as a group in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 8.5(c) with the following exception. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only with respect to the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.

 

  (e)

Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 8.5(d)), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation or the value of the assets being disposed of determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this Section 8.5(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one person

 

8-4


 

acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an entity, at least fifty (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 8.5(e)(iii). For purposes of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets.

ARTICLE 9 – THE TRUST

 

9.1 Establishment of Trust. The Plan Sponsor may but is not required to establish a trust to hold amounts which the Plan Sponsor may contribute from time to time to correspond to some or all of the amounts credited to Participants under Article 5. If the Plan Sponsor elects to establish a trust the provisions of Section 9.2 will become operative.

 

9.2 Investment of Trust Funds. Any amounts contributed to the trust by the Employer shall be invested by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the trust and the instructions of the Administrator. Trust investments need not reflect the hypothetical investments selected by Participants under Section 5.1 for the purpose of adjusting Accounts and Grandfathered Accounts and the earnings or investment results of the trust shall not affect the hypothetical investment adjustments to Participant Accounts and Grandfathered Accounts under the Plan.

 

9-1


ARTICLE 10 – PLAN ADMINISTRATION

 

10.1 Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator. The Administrator has the full power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrator’s powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;

10.2 Claims and Review Procedures.

 

  (a)

Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial,

 

10-1


 

(ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his claim.

 

  (b) Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if written notification is not provided, within 60 days of the date denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Administrator (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

 

10.3 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising under or relating to a claim for benefits under the Plan shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The Plan shall not be required to submit any such claim or controversy until the claimant has first exhausted the procedures described in Section 10.2 although the Administrator may voluntarily do so at any point in processing an appeal from a prior claim denial or other disputed benefit determination.

The Employer against whom the claim is brought shall bear all costs of an arbitration, except that the arbitrator shall have the power to apportion among the parties other expenses such as prehearing discovery, travel costs and attorney’s fees. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

10-2


10.4 Plan Administrative Costs. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, and employee communication fees) incurred by the Administrator in administering the Plan shall, unless allocable to the Accounts and Grandfathered Accounts of particular Participants, be charged against the Accounts and Grandfathered Accounts of all Participants on a pro rata basis or in such other reasonable manner as may be directed by the Administrator unless paid for by the Employer.

 

10-3


ARTICLE 11 – MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1 Unsecured General Creditor of the Employer. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan, any and all of the Employer’s assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer. Each Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

 

11.2 Employer’s Liability. Each Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be defined only by the Plan and by the deferral agreements entered into between a Participant and the Employer. An Employer shall have no obligation or liability to a Participant under the Plan except as provided by the Plan and a deferral agreement or agreements. An Employer shall have no liability to Participants employed by other Employers.

 

11.3 Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Plan Sponsor, Employer or Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.

 

11.4 Anti-alienation of Benefits. None of the benefits or rights of a Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his or her Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder.

 

11.5 Facility of Payment. If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Administrator may disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Plan for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.

 

11-1


11.6 Notices. Any notice or other communication in connection with the Plan shall be deemed delivered in writing if addressed to the Employer or Administrator at the address specified by the Employer and if either actually delivered at said address or, in the case or a letter, five business days shall have elapsed after the same shall have been deposited in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid and registered or certified.

 

11.7 Tax Withholding. The Employer shall have the right to deduct from all payments or deferrals made under the Plan any tax required by law to be withheld. If the Employer concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or payment hereunder, the Employer shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the Participant, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this Section 11.7 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to Participants under the Plan. Neither the Employer nor the Administrator shall have any obligation to any Participant or any other person if there is a failure to comply with Code Section 409A or with respect to any liability, including, without limitation, any liability for taxes, additional taxes or interest incurred by the Participant or any other person as a result of such failure.

 

11.8 Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the applicability of any other indemnification provided by the Employer, each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Plan Sponsor, the Administrator, each employee, officer, or director of the Employer to whom is delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority with respect to the Plan against all claims, liabilities, fines and penalties, and all expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) which arise as a result of his actions or failure to act in connection with the operation and administration of the Plan to the extent lawfully allowable and to the extent that such claim, liability, fine, penalty, or expense is not paid for by liability insurance purchased or paid for by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer shall not indemnify any person for any such amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any action unless the Employer consents in writing to such settlement or compromise.

 

11.9

Permitted Acceleration of Payment. The Plan may permit acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to a payment under the Plan as provided in Section 8.3 and this Section 11.9. The Plan may permit acceleration of payment (1) to an individual other than the Participant as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic

 

11-2


 

relations order within the meaning of Code Section 414(p)(1)(B), (2) to comply with a certificate of divestiture as defined in Code Section 1043(b)(2), (3) to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) on compensation deferred under the Plan, (4) to pay the income tax under Code Section 3401 or the corresponding withholding provisions of the applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of any FICA tax described in (3) and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401, wages and taxes, and (5) to pay the amount required to be included in gross income as a result of the failure of the Plan to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. The total payment under (3) or (4) shall, in no event, exceed the aggregate of the FICA tax and the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax. The total payment under (5) shall, in no event, exceed the amount required to be included as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

 

11.10 Illegality of Particular Provision. The illegality any particular provision of the Plan shall not affect the other provisions, and the document shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid provisions were omitted.

 

11.11 Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to ERISA, and to the extent not preempted thereby, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Approved by the Teradyne, Inc. Compensation Committee on November 6, 2007.
