Dear Doug:

On behalf of TTM Technologies, I am pleased to confirm an offer of employment to you as Executive

ability will be a definite asset to our organization. This offer is contingent upon successful
completion of a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening and proof of the legal right to work in
the United States. Your start date will be Oct. 28, 2006.

The key elements of our offer are described in this letter.

	 	 	 	As a member of the executive management team you will be eligible to participate in the
annual incentive bonus compensation pool. The amount of the bonus pool is subject to
the financial performance of the Company, based on the 2007 budget submitted by
management and approved by the Board of Directors. You will participate at level two,

The options will be subject to the standard vesting schedule. The option price will
be the stock price at the close of the trading day on November 2, 2006, the day of the
BOD meeting, provided the acquisition of the Tyco PCB group closes on that day.
	 
	 	D.	 	You will receive a signing bonus of $50,000.00. This bonus will be paid to
you less the normal withholding at your first payroll period.
	 
	 	E.	 	Retention Bonus
	 
	 	 	 	You will receive a retention bonus of $200,000.00 on October 28, 2008 and $150,000 on

	 	F.	 	You will be eligible to participate in the TTM Stock Option/Restricted Share
program.

 

 

	 	 	 	The minimum restricted shares you will receive in 2007 will be 10,000 shares annually,
however, 2500 shares will be granted each quarter. The restricted shares will be
awarded under the terms and conditions of the Stock Option program.
	 
	 	G.	 	Benefits
	 
	 	 	 	You will be eligible to participate in the TTM Technologies

Accelerated vesting of your options and restricted shares if the company is sold and
your employment is terminated.

	 	1.	 	Accelerated payment of any unpaid bonus
is the company is sold and your employment is terminated.

is you are terminated by the company without cause.
	 
	 	3.	 	You will receive two years salary as a
severance payment if terminated by the company in the first year of
employment except for termination with cause.
	 
	 	4.	 	You will receive one year salary as a
severance payment if terminated by the company in the second year
of employment except for termination with cause.
	 
	 	5.	 	You will receive six months salary as a
severance payment if terminated by the company after the second
year of employment except for termination with cause.
	 
	 	6.	 	I have recommended to the Comp
Committee that the six months salary payment mentioned above be

confidential information of the Company. You will be expected not to disclose such

thereafter, except as required in the course of your employment by the Company.
