 This award is governed by and subject to Teradyne’s 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”),

	1.	Award Grant, Vesting and Transfer 

  
 (a) Payment of par value. Teradyne hereby grants to the recipient that number of shares of Teradyne common stock as is set forth on the Notice of
Restricted Stock 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) This award vests yearly on the anniversary of the Effective
Date. None of this grant will be vested on the Effective Date. 100% of the total grant will vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The Teradyne Board of Directors shall have the right to accelerate the date that any
installment of this award becomes vested. 
  
 (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 or a Related Corporation ends on account of disability, that portion of this award which would have vested under the applicable rule
stated in (b) above had the recipient’s employment or business relationship continued for 30 months following his or her termination of employment or business relationship on account of disability will vest. 
  
 Employment or another business relationship shall be considered as continuing
uninterrupted during any bona fide leave of absence (such as those attributable to illness, military obligations or governmental service) 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 or any Related Corporation 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. This award is not assignable or transferable (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution).

Plan, containing provisions for adjusting the number of shares exercisable under an option granted under the Plan if a recapitalization, stock split, merger, etc. occurs, will apply on a substantially equivalent basis in the case of shares covered
by this award which have not vested and been delivered at the time of such a recapitalization, stock split, merger, etc. In that event, the recipient of the award will be notified of the adjustment, if any. 
  
 3. Employment or Business Relationship. Granting this award does not
imply any right of continued employment or business relationship by the Company or a Related Corporation, and does not affect the right of the recipient or the Company or a Related Corporation to terminate employment or a business relationship at
any time.

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
