               (iv) The Executive’s right to receive, and the Company’s obligation to pay and provide,

Severance Period, whichever is longer, the Executive agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, engage in or have any interest in any sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation,
limited liability company or business or any other Person (other than the Company and its
Subsidiaries), whether as an employee, officer, director, partner, agent, security holder,
consultant or otherwise, that directly or indirectly is engaged in any business in which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is then engaged, in the territorial United States; provided,
however, that (i) the provisions of this §7(a) shall not apply in the event that the Employment
Period is terminated by reason of the expiration of this Agreement on the third anniversary hereof
or any extension date agreed to by the Executive and the Company, and (ii) nothing herein shall be
deemed to prevent the Executive from acquiring through market purchases and owning, solely as an
investment, less than one percent in the aggregate of the equity securities of any class of any
issuer whose shares are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act, and
are listed or admitted for trading on any United States national securities exchange or are quoted
on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, or any similar
system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices in common use, so long as he
is not a member of any “control group” (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission).

          (b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period and for a period of 12 months
thereafter or the Severance Period, whichever is longer, the Executive will not, directly or
indirectly, (i) solicit for employment or employ or engage as an agent or independent contractor
(or attempt to solicit for employment or employ or engage as an agent or independent contractor),
for himself or on behalf of any Person (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), any
employee, agent or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person
who was an employee, agent or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at
any time during the one-year period preceding the later of (A) the date of this Agreement and (B)
the date of such solicitation, employment, engagement or attempted solicitation, employment or
engagement, (ii) encourage any such employee to leave his or her employment with the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or (iii) encourage any such agent or independent contractor to terminate his,
her or its engagement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (c) Noninterference. During the Employment Period and for a period of 12 months
thereafter or the Severance Period, whichever is longer, the Executive will not induce or attempt
to induce any customer, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates to cease doing business with them, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between such customer, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

          (d) Reasonableness. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants provided
for in this §7 are reasonable and necessary in terms of time, area and line of business to protect
the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which include their
respective interests in protecting their (i) valuable confidential business information, (ii)
substantial relationships with customers throughout such geographical area and (iii) customer
goodwill associated with their ongoing business. To the extent that any of the covenants provided
for in this §7 may later be deemed by a court to be too broad to be enforced with respect to its
duration or with respect to any particular activity or geographic area, the court making such
determination shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of the provision, and to add or
delete specific words or phrases to or from the provision. The provision as modified shall then be
enforced. Further, to the extent a court issues an injunctive relief under this Section 9 of the
Agreement, the covenant shall be extended by the period of time from the date of the violation of
the covenants herein until the issuance of the injunctive relief.

     8. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder
will be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication hereunder shall be

     9. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is

8

 

held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other
provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in
such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.

     10. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein
and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the
parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or
among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

     11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed on separate counterparts, each of
which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same
agreement. Any telecopied signature shall be deemed a manually executed and delivered original.

     12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive and the Company and their respective successors and
assigns (and, in the case of the Executive, heirs and personal representatives), except that
Executive may not assign any of his rights or delegate any of his obligations hereunder.

     13. Damages. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent either party
hereto from seeking and recovering from the other damages sustained by either or both of them as a
result of its or his breach of any term or provision of this Agreement. In the event that either
party hereto brings suit for the collection of any damages resulting from, or for the injunction of
any action constituting, a breach of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, then the
party found to be at fault shall pay all reasonable costs, fees (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) and expenses of the other party.

     14. Equitable Remedies. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company would
not have an adequate remedy at law in the event any of the provisions of §§3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this
Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are breached. Accordingly,
the Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of §§3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions thereof in any action instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to
any other remedies that may be available to it.

     15. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof and all
questions concerning the validity and construction hereof shall be determined in accordance with
the laws of said state. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party irrevocably
submits to the personal and non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court of competent
jurisdiction located in the City of Santa Ana, Orange County, State of California, for himself or
itself to enforce this Agreement. Each party agrees that venue would be proper in any of such
courts, and hereby waives any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum
for the resolution of any such action. The parties further agree that the mailing by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses specified for notice in this Agreement,
of any process or summons required by any such court shall constitute valid and lawful service of
process against them, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or
rule of court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the request by the Company for preliminary or
permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, may be adjudicated in any
jurisdiction where the Executive is subject to personal jurisdiction and where venue is proper.

     16. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER.

     17. Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived
without the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

9

 

     18. Business Days. Whenever the terms of this Agreement call for the performance of a
specific act on a specified date, which date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the date
for the performance of such act shall be postponed to the next succeeding regular business day
following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

     19. No Third Party Beneficiary. Except for the parties to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or
will be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

     20. Survival. Sections 3, 4 and 5, 7 through 19 (inclusive), this §20 and §21 shall
survive and continue in full force and in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any
termination of the Employment Period.

     21. Dispute Resolution. If the parties should have a material dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the parties’ respective rights and duties hereunder, then the
parties will resolve such dispute in the following manner: (a) either party may at any time deliver
to the other a written dispute notice setting forth a brief description of the issue for which such
notice initiates the dispute resolution mechanism contemplated by this §21, (b) during the 30 day
period following the delivery of the notice described in clause (a) above, appropriate
representatives of the various parties will meet and seek to resolve the disputed issue through
negotiation, (c) if representatives of the parties are unable to resolve the disputed issue through
negotiation, then within 10 days after the period described in clause (b) above, the parties will
refer the issue (to the exclusion of a court of law) to final and binding arbitration in Santa Ana,
California in accordance with the then existing rules (the “Rules”) of the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that the law applicable
to any controversy shall be the law of the State of California, regardless of principles of
conflicts of laws. In any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, (x) discovery shall be allowed
and governed by the California Code of Civil Procedure and (y) the award or decision shall be
rendered by a majority of the members of a Board of Arbitration consisting of three members, one of
whom shall be appointed by the Executive, one of whom shall be appointed by the Company and the
third of whom shall be the chairman of the panel and be appointed by mutual agreement of said two
party-appointed arbitrators. In the event of failure of said two arbitrators to agree within 30
days after the commencement of the arbitration proceeding upon the appointment of the third
arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules. In
the event that either party shall fail to appoint an arbitrator within 10 days after the
commencement of the arbitration proceedings, such arbitrator and the third arbitrator shall be
appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules. Nothing set forth above shall be interpreted to
prevent the parties from agreeing in writing to submit any dispute to a single arbitrator in lieu
of a three member Board of Arbitration. Upon the completion of the selection of the Board of
Arbitration (or if the parties agree otherwise in writing, a single arbitrator), an award or
decision shall be rendered within no more than 30 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the request
by either party for preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory,
shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only by the courts permitted under §15
above.

     22. Other Terms Relating to Section 409A.

          (a) Except as provided in §22(b), amounts payable under this Agreement following Executive’s
termination of employment, other than those expressly payable on a deferred or installment basis or
as reimbursement of expenses, will be paid as promptly as practicable after such a termination of
employment and, in any event, within 2 1/2 months after the end of the year in which employment
terminates and amounts payable as reimbursements of expenses to the Executive must be made on or
before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such expense was
incurred.

          (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (i) on the date of
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary, any of the Company’s stock
is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of Section

10

 

409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)), (ii) if Executive is
determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
(iii) the payments exceed the amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to Treasury Regulations section
1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and (iv) such delay is required to avoid the imposition of the tax set forth in
Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, as a result of such termination, the Executive would receive any
payment that, absent the application of this Section 9(b), would be subject to interest and
additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of
Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is
the earliest of (A) six months after the Executive’s termination date, (B) the Executive’s death or
(C) such other date as will cause such payment not to be subject to such interest and additional
tax (with a catch-up payment equal to the sum of all amounts that have been delayed to be made as
of the date of the initial payment).

          (c) It is the intention of the parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement
not be subject to the additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. To the extent
such potential payments or benefits could become subject to such Section, the parties shall
cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving the Executive the economic benefits
described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax being imposed.

          (d) A termination of employment under this Agreement shall be deemed to occur only in
circumstances that would constitute a separation from service for purposes of Treasury Regulations
section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii).

          (e) Wherever payments under this Agreement are to be made in installments, each such
installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

Exhibit A-2

 

ATTACHMENT A: RELEASE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE

1. Release. I, Kenton K. Alder, do hereby release and discharge TTM Technologies, Inc.,
its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of their stockholders, officers, directors, members,
managers, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates (collectively, the “Employer
Affiliates”, and each an “Employer Affiliate”) from any and all claims, demands or liabilities
whatsoever, whether known or unknown or suspected to exist by me, which I ever had or may now have
against any Employer Affiliate, from the beginning of time to the Effective Date of the letter
(including its attachments), including, without limitation, any claims, demands or liabilities in
connection with my employment, including wrongful termination, constructive discharge, breach of
express or implied contract, unpaid wages, benefits, attorneys fees or pursuant to any federal,
state, or local employment laws, regulations, or executive orders prohibiting inter alia, age,
race, color, sex, national origin, religion, handicap, veteran status, and disability
discrimination, including, without limitation, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Civil Rights Act
of 1866, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act, the Prudence Kay Poppink Act, the California Family Rights Act, the Fair Labor
Standards Act, any state statute relating to employee benefits or pensions, and the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990. This Release does not waive rights or claims that may arise after the
Effective Date. I fully understand that if any fact with respect to which this Release is executed
is found hereafter to be other than or different from the facts in that connection believed by me
to be true, I expressly accept and assume the risk of such possible difference in fact and agree
that the release set forth herein shall be and remain effective notwithstanding such difference in
fact. I acknowledge and agree that no consideration other than as provided for by the letter to
which this release is an attachment has been or will be paid or furnished by any Employer
Affiliate.

2. Covenant Not to Sue. I covenant and agree never, individually or with any person or in
any way, to commence, aid in any way, prosecute or cause or permit to be commenced or prosecuted
against any Employer Affiliate any action or other proceeding, including, without limitation, an
arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution procedure, based upon any claim, demand, cause
of action, obligation, damage, or liability that is the subject of this letter (including its
attachments). I represent and agree that I have not and will not make or file or cause to be made
or filed any claim, charge, allegation, or complaint, whether formal, informal, or anonymous, with
any governmental agency, department or division, whether federal, state or local, relating to any
Employer Affiliate in any manner, including without limitation, any Employer Affiliate’s business
or employment practices. I waive any right to monetary recovery should any administrative or
governmental agency or entity pursue any claim on my behalf.

3. Waiver. I acknowledge that California Civil Code § 1542 states:

	 	 	 	A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his
or her settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding California Civil Code § 1542, I enter into this full waiver and release as set
forth above and waive all rights or defenses under § 1542 of the California Civil Code.

4. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and hold each Employer Affiliate harmless from
and against any and all claims, including each Employer Affiliate’s court costs and attorneys’
fees, arising from or in connection with any claim, action, or other proceeding made, brought, or
prosecuted, or caused or permitted to be commenced or prosecuted, by me, my successor(s), or
assign(s) contrary to the provisions of the letter (including its attachments). It is further
agreed that the letter (including its attachments) shall be deemed breached and a cause of action
accrued thereon immediately upon the commencement of any action contrary to the letter (including
the attachments), and in any such action the letter (including its attachments) may be pleaded by
the Employer Affiliates, or any of them, both as a defense and as a counterclaim or cross-claim in
such action.

Exhibit A-3

 

5. Important General Provisions. If any provisions of the letter (including its
attachments) is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the other
provisions thereof, and the provision held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be enforced as
nearly as possible according to its original terms and intent to eliminate such invalidity or
unenforceability. The provisions hereof shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of California, both substantive and remedial. The
undersigned hereby waives trial by jury in any judicial proceeding involving, directly or
indirectly, any matter (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) in any way arising out of, related
to, or connected hereto or the relationship established under the letter (including its
attachments).

5. Right to Consult Attorney. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED, IN WRITING, TO
CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY PRIOR TO EXECUTING THE LETTER (INCLUDING ITS ATTACHMENTS).
