 TERADYNE, INC. SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN 
 (Restated as of January 1, 2005) 
 Article I. Establishment and Purpose 
 1.1 Establishment. Teradyne, Inc. and certain Affiliates (the
“Employer”) established a supplemental retirement plan known as the “TERADYNE, INC. SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN” (the “Prior Plan”), effective as of January 1, 1993 and thereafter amended from time to
time. Since January 1, 2005, benefits accrued or vested under the Prior Plan have been administered in accordance with Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the
guidance issued thereunder from time to time. This restatement (the “Plan”), is intended to memorialize the terms applicable to such benefits and is intended to comply with Section 409A. The terms of the Prior Plan, as amended from
time to time, remain applicable to Grandfathered Benefits but no additional benefits shall be accrued or vested under its terms. 
 1.2
Applicability. The provisions of this Plan are applicable only to Eligible Employees who were Members of the Prior Plan on December 31, 2004 and continue to be Eligible Employees of an Employer thereafter or who become Eligible Employees
of the Plan after December 31, 2004. 
 1.3 Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide Members with retirement benefits they
could be unable to receive under the Retirement Plan due to certain restrictions on the Retirement Plan imposed by Code Sections 401(a) (17) and 415 and to supplement the benefits payable to such Members from the Retirement Plan (in addition to
those benefits accrued and vested under the Prior Plan). The Plan is intended to be unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as described in
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 







 1.4 Invalidity of Particular Provision. The invalidity of any particular provision of this Plan
shall not affect the other provisions, and the Plan shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision were omitted.

	 	(a)	Retirement Benefits under this Article IV shall commence as of the month coincident with or next following the later of: 

  

	 	(1)	the Member’s Separation from Service, or 

  

	 	(2)	the date on which such Member attains his or her Social Security Retirement Age; 

 provided that the Board of Directors or a Committee, in its sole discretion, may instruct the Plan Administrator to commence or advance such payments on an earlier date to satisfy an unforeseeable emergency as permitted and to the extent
limited under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(3). 
  

	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, but acting in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, distributions upon Separation from
Service of any specified employee, as defined in Section 409A, 



  

 - 11 - 









	 	 
may not commence earlier than the date 6 months and one day after the date of such separation (or the date of death, if earlier). Any distributions which

to the Member or his or her Beneficiary as the case may be. 


 4.3 Preretirement Death Benefit. Benefits accrued or
vested after December 31, 2004 shall be provided under this Section if the Member is married on the date of such Member’s death and if such Member dies before Retirement Benefits commence under the Plan, and in accordance with

and ending with the month in which the Spouse dies.

Member if the Member had retired the day before death and benefit payments had commenced on that date in the form of a joint and 50 percent survivor annuity with the Surviving Spouse as the contingent annuitant. 

  

 - 12 - 









	 	(b)	Prior to Earliest Retirement Date. 

  

	 	(1)	Timing. If a Member dies while employed by an Employer prior to a Member’s Earliest Retirement Date (without taking such death into account) under the Retirement Plan
and such Member is married on the date of death, then the Surviving Spouse shall be entitled to receive as a death benefit a monthly payment beginning during the month following the earlier of— 

  

	 	(A)	the date that would have been the Member’s Earliest Retirement Date under the Retirement Plan, or 

  

	 	(B)	the date the Member would have attained age 65, and ending with the month in which the death of the Spouse occurs. 

  

	 	(2)	Amount. The monthly benefit under this subsection (b) shall equal the amount determined as if the Member: 

  

	 	(A)	Separated from Service with the Employer on the day before the date of death, 

  

	 	(B)	began receiving Retirement Benefits in the form of a joint and 50 percent survivor annuity on the date of the Member’s Separation from Service, 

  

	 	(C)	died the day thereafter. 

  

 - 13 - 








 4.4 Form of Payment. Retirement Benefits under the Plan shall be paid as provided in this
Section 4.4. 
  

	 	(a)	Life annuity. The annual amount of Retirement Benefits payable to any Member who does not have a Spouse on the date his or her Retirement Benefits commence or who is married
but has made a valid election to receive his or her Retirement Benefits in the form specified in this Section 4.4(a) rather than in the form specified in Section 4.4(b) shall be payable for the life of the Member only, unless another
optional form of payment has been elected pursuant to Section 4.4(c) below. 

  

	 	(b)	Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity for Married Members. Except as otherwise provided herein, Retirement Benefits payable hereunder to any Member who is married on the date
his or her Retirement Benefits are to commence will be automatically paid to the Member and his or her Spouse in the form of a joint and survivor annuity. The joint and survivor annuity shall provide for retirement income to the Member and the
Member’s Spouse in the same amount and the same manner as if the Member had elected Option 2 in Section 4.4(c) below, providing for 50 percent of the Member’s reduced Retirement Benefit to be continued to his or her Spouse as the
contingent annuitant. 

  

	 	(c)	Optional Forms. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.4(a) and (b), prior to the date with respect to which payments shall be made, the Member may elect the form in
which his or her Retirement Benefits are to be made either by electing a life annuity under Section 4.4(a) or from among the choices in this Section 4.4(c), provided that such election then complies with Section 409A.


  

	 	(1)	 Option 1 – Period Certain and Life Option. A reduced rate of Retirement Benefits payable to the member during his or her retired life, but 



  

 - 14 - 









	 	 
guaranteed for a period of 5, 10, or 20 years, at the election of the Member, from the date Retirement Benefits commence. If the Member dies before
expiration of the period certain, payments shall be continued to the Member’s Beneficiary for the remainder of the period certain. If the Member’s Beneficiary dies while further payments are due, such further payments shall be made to any
one or more persons designated by the Member as alternate Beneficiaries which designation can be made at any time during the Member’s life. In the absence of the designation of an alternate Beneficiary, the value of such payments shall be paid
to the Member’s Surviving Spouse, and if none, to the Member’s estate. If the Member dies after this Option 1 has gone into effect, but has failed to designate a Beneficiary, the payments shall be made to the Member’s Surviving
Spouse, or if none, to the Member’s estate. 


  

	 	(2)	Option 2 – Contingent Annuitant Option. A reduced rate of Retirement Benefits payable during the lifetime of the Member with a percentage, either 50 percent, 75 percent,
or 100 percent, designated by the Member, of said Retirement Benefits payable after the Member’s death to his or her designated contingent annuitant for such contingent annuitant’s lifetime. 

  

	 	(3)	If either the Beneficiary under Option 1 or the contingent annuitant under Option 2 dies before the retirement commencement date, the election shall be deemed null and void, but the
Member shall be entitled to make another election or designate a Beneficiary under Option 1 and a new contingent annuitant under Option 2 to the extent consistent with Section 409A, and if not, the benefit will be paid as an annuity under
Section 4.4(a) or Section 4.4(b) as applicable. 

  

 - 15 - 









	 	(4)	If the contingent annuitant under Option 2 dies after the option has become effective, the option shall continue in effect, the annual amount of Retirement Benefits payable to the
Member at the time of the contingent annuitant’s death shall remain unchanged, and no further Retirement Benefits shall be payable upon the subsequent death of the Member. If the Beneficiary under Option 1 dies at any time prior to the
Member’s death, the option shall remain effective and the Member may designate a new Beneficiary. In the event the Beneficiary under Option 1 dies after benefit payments have begun to the Member and the Member designates a new Beneficiary, the
period of time over which the benefits are to be paid shall not be changed. 

  

	 	(5)	Elections shall be made in accordance with a procedure established by the Plan Administrator from time to time. Each form of payment hereunder shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of
the Retirement Benefit calculated under Section 4.1(b) and payable under the Plan. 

 4.5 Payment of Small Amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of the Retirement Benefits payable under Section 4.1 or 4.3 is no more than the dollar limit under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code when calculated as if payable in a lump sum, which is the
Actuarial Equivalent of the Retirement Benefit, at the time of Separation from Service or death, as applicable, under the terms of the Plan, then on the Member’s Separation from Service or death, the Plan Administrator may direct that such lump
sum be paid to the Member (or the 

  

 - 16 - 








 
Member’s Beneficiary) within 90 days following such Separation from Service or death, provided that the payment means that the Member will retain no
benefits under any other non-account balance plans aggregated with the Plan under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(c)(2)). Should a Member receive a benefit under this Section and be reemployed by an Employer, any Retirement Benefits payable under this
Plan after his or her reemployment shall be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits such Member received under this Section. 
 4.6 Separation from Service Prior to Vesting. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, a Member who Separates from Service with the Employer prior to vesting under Section 5.1 shall not be entitled to any Retirement
Benefits (or death benefits) under the Plan. 
 4.7 Non-Competition. The Member shall forfeit any Retirement Benefits that would
otherwise be payable under this Plan if he or she, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, accepts employment or renders services, with or without compensation, by or for any person, firm, or organization engaged in the sale, servicing,
developing, manufacturing, or merchandising of products or services in competition with any product or service of the Company— 
  

	 	(a)	in the event of voluntary termination of employment for a period of three years immediately following such termination, or 

  

	 	(b)	in the event of involuntary termination of employment, for a period of one year immediately following such termination. 

 4.8 Delay of Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment due under this Article IV, may be delayed in a manner that will not constitute a
subsequent deferral under Section 409A and in such manner permitted by and subject to such conditions and limitations as imposed under Section 409A, including, without limitation, (a) if the Employer reasonably 

  

 - 17 - 








 
anticipates that its federal income tax deduction with respect to such payment will be limited or eliminated by application of Section 162(m) of the
Code; provided that any payment so delayed will be paid at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the federal income tax deduction will not be limited or eliminated by application of Section 162(m) of the Code, or,
if later, the calendar year in which a Member has a Separation from Service, and (b) if the Employer reasonably anticipates the payments will violate federal securities law or other applicable law; provided that the payments delayed will be
made at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of such payments will not cause a violation. 
  

 - 18 - 








 Article V. Rights of Members 
 5.1 Vesting. A Member shall have a nonforfeitable right to Retirement Benefits payable pursuant to Article IV upon the earliest to occur of the
following: 
  

	 	(a)	the Member’s Normal Retirement Date under the Retirement Plan, 

  

	 	(b)	the Member’s Earliest Retirement Date under the Retirement Plan, 

  

	 	(c)	the date the Member retires on account of Disability under the Retirement Plan, and 

  

	 	(d)	the Member’s death. 

 If the Member Separates from Service prior to
having a nonforfeitable right under this Section 5.1 no Retirement Benefits will be paid hereunder. 
 5.2 Unsecured Interest. No
Member or Surviving Spouse shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Employer. To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Employer. 
 5.3 Employment. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Employer to terminate any Member’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Member any right to continue in the employ of the Employer. 
 5.4 Member’s Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Employer or the Plan Administrator and
any Member or Surviving Spouse or any other person. Members and Surviving Spouses have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employer. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employer to make benefit payments in the future. Neither
Members nor Surviving Spouses (nor any other person) shall have any claim to any specific assets of the Employer, including any assets transferred to any trust described in Section 6.5 and all such assets shall remain owned by the Employer at
all times. 
  

 - 19 - 








 Article VI. Administration and Financing 
 6.1 Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Plan Administrator, which shall have the exclusive right and full discretion subject to
the provisions of 409A— 
  

	 	(a)	to interpret the Plan, 

  

	 	(b)	to decide any and all matters arising hereunder (including the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or admissions), 

  

	 	(c)	to require information and documents from any person who may be helpful to the fulfillment of the Plan Administrator’s responsibilities. 

  

	 	(d)	to make, amend, and rescind such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, including the adoption of written administrative procedures which may modify

anticipated or foreseen, the Employer necessarily must and does hereby reserve the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan (in all circumstances as permitted by Section 409A) at any time, by action of the Board of Directors or a
Committee. Any such amendment, modification, or termination shall not reduce or diminish the value of the benefit to be paid hereunder prior to the date of such amendment. The Employer may distribute the Actuarial Equivalent of the Retirement
Benefits determined under Section 4.4, in a single lump sum, on termination of the Plan in such manner permitted by and subject to such conditions and limitations as imposed by Section 409A including, without limitation, the
Employer’s termination and liquidation of the Plan in accordance with the following (modified as necessary to comply with Treas. Reg § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)):

in Section 409A(2)(A)(v) of the Code, provided that all distributions with respect to Members subject to the change in control event are made no later than 12 months following such termination of the Plan and further provided that all of the
Employer’s plans and arrangements that are non-account balance plans for purposes of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(c)(2) (and would be aggregated under such regulation) that cover Members subject to the change in control are terminated so that
the Members are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the other terminated plans and arrangements within 12 months following the irrevocable action to terminate such other plans and arrangements; or



  

	 	(c)	Termination of Similar Plans: if all other non-account balance plans (for purposes of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(c)(2)) sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated
with the Plan under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(c) if a Member had participated are terminated; provided that (i) such action does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Employer; (ii) all distributions are made
no earlier than 12 months and no later than 24 months following such termination, and (iii) the Employer does not adopt any new non-account balance plans for a minimum of three years following the date of such termination.


 Notice of such amendment or termination shall be given in writing to each Member and Beneficiary of a deceased Member having an interest in
the Plan. The Employer may, at any time, provide for the cessation of the accrual of benefits under the Plan for some or all of the Members.

the Plan Administrator or its agents shall have no obligation to any Member or any other person if there is any failure to comply with said Section 409A or with respect to any liability, including, without limitation, any liability for taxes,
additional taxes or interest incurred by the Member or any other person as a result of such failure.

 Article IX. Miscellaneous 
 9.1 Nontransferability. In no event shall the Employer make any payment under this Plan to any assignee or creditor of a Member, a Surviving
