TERADYNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. The Company

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

Teradyne’s automatic test equipment offerings include:

 

   

Semiconductor test products and services (“Semiconductor Test”);

 

   

Circuit-board test and inspection products and services, military/aerospace instrumentation test products and services, and automotive diagnostic test products and services (“Systems Test Group”)

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts, 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. Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Teradyne’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). See also “Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results” and Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

B. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Teradyne and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of such interim financial statements. Certain prior years’ amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The December 31, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

On August 1, 2007, Teradyne completed the sale of Broadband Test Systems, its voice and broadband access network test division. The results of operations of Broadband Test Systems as well as balance sheet and cash flow amounts pertaining to this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements (see “Note E: Discontinued Operations”).

Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

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 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.

E. Discontinued Operations

On August 1, 2007, Teradyne completed the sale of its Broadband Test Systems division to Tollgrade Communications, Inc. for $11.3 million in cash.

Included in the September 30, 2007 nine months discontinued operations are $0.9 million of fees directly related to the sale transaction between Teradyne and Tollgrade Communications Inc.

F. Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Teradyne granted restricted stock units to employees, executives and directors. The total number of shares granted was 2.0 million at the weighted average grant date fair value of $15.19. Awards granted to employees and executives vest in equal installments over four years. Awards granted to non-employee directors vest after one year. A significant number of awards granted to executive officers are performance-based restricted stock units. The amount of actual performance-based restricted stock units that will vest over four years is determined on or near the first anniversary of the grant.

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 14.1 million and 14.1 million shares, respectively, because the option price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2006 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 15.9 million and 16.0 million shares, respectively, because the option price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The effect of Teradyne’s outstanding convertible notes on diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2006 was calculated using the “if converted” method as required by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. In using the “if converted” method, $2.6 million and $7.9 million of interest expense related to the convertible notes for the three and nine

months ended October 1, 2006, net of tax and profit sharing expenses, was added back to net income to arrive at diluted net income. Accordingly, 10.4 million and 10.9 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 three and nine months ended October 1, 2006, respectively.

J. Restructuring and Other, Net

The tables below represent activity related to restructuring and other, net, in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and long-term other accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. Teradyne expects to pay out approximately $1.7 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Teradyne’s future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $10.3 million as of September 30, 2007.

$0.3 million credit for revised estimates on severance payments.

K. 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, Teradyne repurchased 11.4 million shares of common stock for $176.0 million at an average price of $15.38 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Teradyne repurchased 13.1 million shares of common stock for $203.6 million at an average price of $15.52 per share. During 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.

On November 7, 2007, Teradyne’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company 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 the Company’s discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors

L. Technology Acquisition

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 was immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price was allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.

This technology was acquired for use 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 was 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.

M. Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Teradyne has defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of U.S. 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 the 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 and the Internal Revenue Code, as well as unfunded foreign plans.

Teradyne contributed $1.1 million to its U.K. pension plan and $0.9 million to its Japan pension plan in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

In addition to receiving pension benefits, Teradyne’s U.S. employees who meet specific retirement eligibility requirements as of their termination dates may participate in Teradyne’s Welfare Plan, which includes death benefits, 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 could become eligible for these benefits, and the existing benefit obligation relates primarily to those employees.

N. Income Taxes

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, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would have impacted the effective tax rate by $2.5 million. Upon adoption, it was anticipated that within the next twelve months of adoption $2.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits would no longer be considered unrecognized tax benefits due to audit settlements. Upon adoption and as of September 30, 2007, Teradyne has open tax years beginning in 2003 for major jurisdictions including 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 upon adoption and recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was not material.

Of the $13.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2007, $6.8 million would impact the consolidated income tax rate if ultimately recognized. The remaining $6.4 million would impact goodwill if ultimately recognized. As of September 30, 2007, it is anticipated that within the next twelve months, $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits will no longer be considered unrecognized tax benefits due to audit settlements.

Due to the continued uncertainty of realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets, Teradyne maintained its valuation allowance at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. 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.

O. Commitments and Contingencies

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 its 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 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 its 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. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates has ever conducted any operations at the Los Angeles site. Teradyne has asked the State of California to drop the PRP designation, but California has not yet agreed to do so.

Teradyne believes that it 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 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.

P. Segment 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. The reportable segments presented reflect the information reviewed and used by the chief operating decision maker.

Teradyne evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment income from continuing operations before taxes. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note B: “Accounting Policies” in Teradyne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Due to the sale on August 1, 2007 of Broadband Test Systems, its results have been excluded from segment reporting and included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Previously, Broadband Test Systems and Diagnostic Solutions had been combined to form the Other Test Systems segment. Diagnostic Solutions and Assembly Test are now components of the Systems Test Group segment. Segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and October 1, 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

Results of Operations

On August 1, 2007, we closed the sale of our Broadband Test Systems division with Tollgrade Communications, Inc. for $11.3 million in cash. We sold this business as its growth potential as a stand-alone business within Teradyne was not attractive. The financial results of Broadband Test Systems have been reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented throughout this Form 10-Q. Previously, Broadband Test Systems and Diagnostic Solutions had been combined to form the Other Test Systems segment. Diagnostic Solutions and Assembly Test are now components of Systems Test Group segment. Unless indicated otherwise, the discussion and amounts provided in this “Results of Operations” section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q relate to continuing operations only.

   $ 273.3    $ 238.1    14.8 %
                    

Semiconductor Test orders increased 19.1% driven by more demand across a wide range of end markets, applications and geographies. Additionally, there was a mix shift compared to prior year with subcontractors making up a larger percentage of orders. Semiconductor Test business is dependent on the current and anticipated market for test equipment, which historically has been highly cyclical.

Systems Test Group increase in orders was primarily due to increased military/aerospace board test program-related bookings partially offset by a decrease in automotive test and commercial board test orders. Automotive test orders are program related and have significant fluctuations. The decrease in automotive test bookings was primarily due to a large program rollout in 2006 for the Vehicle Measurement Module product line.

Percent of Total Revenue

     48.2 %     49.2 %  

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from the third quarter of 2006 to 2007 by 1.0 percentage point. Of the decrease, 2.0 points can be attributed to lower volume in Semiconductor Test offset in part by lower fixed costs and greater manufacturing efficiencies.

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 provisions. 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and October 1, 2006, we scrapped $3.0 million and $5.3 million of inventory, respectively, and sold $0.0 million and $0.7 million of previously written-down or written-off inventory, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, we have inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off totaling $127.5 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

The decrease of $7.6 million from the third quarter of 2006 to 2007 is primarily the result of:

 

   

a decrease of $5.4 million in transition expenses, including the consolidation of facilities in Massachusetts and costs associated with the outsourcing of certain information technology functions; and

 

   

a decrease of $2.1 million in variable employee compensation.

Restructuring and Other, Net

The tables below represent activity related to restructuring and other, net, in the three months ended September 30, 2007. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and long-term other accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. We expect to pay out approximately $1.7 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $10.3 million as of September 30, 2007.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income decreased to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2006, due to lower cash balances primarily from the repayment of our 3.75% Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and stock repurchases made beginning in the second half of 2006. Interest expense decreased to $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2006, due primarily to the repayment of the Notes.

Income Taxes

The tax expense of $4.7 million and $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively consists primarily of foreign taxes. As a result of incurring significant operating losses from 2001 through 2003, we determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets may not be realized, and since the fourth quarter of 2002 we have established a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets. If we generate sustained future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion or all of the valuation allowance would be reversed. If the valuation allowance were reversed, a portion would be recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital, and the remainder would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense.

Gross Profit

Percent of Total Revenue

     46.9 %     48.5 %  

The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue from the first nine months of 2006 to 2007 was primarily the result of lower volume in Semiconductor Test and to a lesser extent a revenue mix shift towards service in 2007, together accounting for 4.5 points of the decrease. This decrease was partially offset by 2.9 points resulting from the 2006 charge in non-FLEX inventory writedowns in Semiconductor Test as well as lower fixed manufacturing costs in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 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 provisions. 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.

Included in gross profit for the nine months ended October 1, 2006 is an inventory provision of $8.0 million related to non-FLEX products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and October 1, 2006, we scrapped $12.8 million and $17.1 million of inventory, respectively, and sold $0.6 million and $2.8 million of previously written-down or written-off inventory, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, we have inventory related reserves for amounts which had been written-down or written-off of $127.5 million. We have no pre-determined timeline to scrap the remaining inventory.

The decrease of $26.2 million from the third quarter of 2006 to 2007 is primarily the result of:

 

   

a decrease of $13.5 million in transition expenses, including the consolidation of facilities in Massachusetts and costs associated with the outsourcing of certain information technology functions; and

 

   

a decrease of $11.3 million in variable employee compensation.

Restructuring and Other, Net

The tables below represent activity related to restructuring and other, net, in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The accrual for severance and benefits is reflected in accrued employees’ compensation and withholdings. The accrual for lease payments on vacated facilities is reflected in other accrued liabilities and long-term other accrued liabilities and is expected to be paid out over the lease terms, the latest of which expires in 2012. We expect to pay out approximately $1.7 million against the lease accruals over the next twelve months. Our future lease commitments are net of expected sublease income of $10.3 million as of September 30, 2007.

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 was allocated to in-process research and development and therefore was immediately charged to the statement of operations. The balance of the purchase price was allocated to acquired workforce and fixed assets.

This technology was acquired for use 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.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income decreased to $27.2 million for the first nine months of 2007 from $33.6 million in the first nine months of 2006 due to lower cash balances from the repayment of our Notes in the fourth quarter of 2006 and stock repurchases made beginning in the second half of 2006. Interest expense decreased to $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2007 from $10.4 million in the first nine months of 2006 due primarily to the repayment of the Notes.

Income Taxes

The tax expense of $9.6 million and $27.9 million for the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, consists primarily of foreign taxes. As a result of incurring significant operating losses from 2001 through 2003, we determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets may not be realized, and since the fourth quarter of 2002 we have established a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets. If we generate sustained future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion or all of the valuation allowance would be reversed. If the valuation allowance were reversed, a portion would be recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital, and the remainder would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2007, our purchase obligations with vendors totaled $140.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance decreased $197.0 million in the first nine months of 2007, to $747.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents activity for the first nine months of 2007 and 2006 was as follows (in millions):

Table of Contents

Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $96.3 million in the first nine months of 2007 due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $75.9 million and a decrease in income taxes payable of $30.8 million for taxes paid primarily in foreign jurisdictions. Accounts receivable increased $75.8 million, primarily in the Semiconductor Test segment, partially due to increased volume since the end of the year and partially due to an increase in days sales outstanding from 65 days as of December 31, 2006 to 71 days as of September 30, 2007 due to an increase in extended payment terms to certain customers which are generally secured by bank letters of credit. Inventory decreased $27.3 million in the first nine months of 2007 primarily in our Semiconductor Test and to a lesser extent in the Systems Test Group. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $98.2 million in the first nine months of 2006 due primarily to a $66.8 million decrease in inventory as a result of shorter final configuration and test cycle time with our Flex products. We contributed $20.0 million to the U.S. pension plan and $5.3 million to the U.K. pension plan during the nine months ended October 1, 2006.

Investing activities consist of purchases of capital assets, the acquisition of technology for $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2007, proceeds from sales of buildings or product lines as well as the purchase, sale and maturity of marketable securities. Capital expenditures decreased by $18.6 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006 primarily in the Semiconductor Test due to a decrease in spending on internally manufactured test systems.

Financing activities represent the sale of our common stock, repurchases of our common stock and payments on our convertible senior notes and other debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we repurchased 13.1 million shares of our common stock for $203.6 million at an average price of $15.52 per share. During the nine months ended October 1, 2006, we repurchased $39.3 million of our Notes.

We believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance of $747.4 million will be sufficient to meet working capital and expenditure needs for at least the foreseeable future. Inflation has not had a significant long-term impact on earnings.

Equity Compensation Plans

In addition to our 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan discussed in “Note O: Stock Based Compensation” in our 2006 Form 10-K, we have a 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”), a cash and equity compensation incentive plan.

The purpose of the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees of Teradyne. The purpose of the 2006 Equity Plan is to provide equity ownership and compensation opportunities in Teradyne to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and/or advisors. Both plans were approved by our shareholders.

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 which 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.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

From time to time, information we provide, statements made by our employees or information included in our filings with the SEC (including this Form 10-Q) contain statements that are not purely historical, but are forward looking statements, made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, forward looking statements made herein include projections, plans and objectives for our business, financial condition, operating results, future

Table of Contents

operations, or future economic performance, statements relating to the sufficiency of capital to meet working capital requirements, capital expenditures, including future lease payments and commitments and contributions to our pension plan, expectations as to customer orders and demand for our products and statements relating to backlog, bookings and cancellations, gross margins and pricing considerations. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, which could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to the following:

 

   

we are subject to intense competition;

 

   

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

 

   

our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly;

 

   

we are subject to risks of operating internationally;

 

   

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;

 

   

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

 

   

our operations may be adversely impacted if our outsourced service providers fail to perform;

 

   

we have significant guarantees and indemnification obligations;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

our business may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees;

 

   

we may incur higher tax rates than we expect;

 

   

our 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 our business;

 

   

provisions of our charter and by-laws and Massachusetts law make a takeover of Teradyne more difficult; and

 

   

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

These factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” affecting Teradyne, see Item 7a. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those set forth in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: 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 dated October 20, 1992. Neither Teradyne nor Perception Laminates has 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 losses associated with all of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to our 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 our business, financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A: Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

A written notice of every meeting of stockholders, stating the place, date and hour thereof, and the purpose for which the meeting is to be held, shall be given by the Secretary or by the person calling the meeting at least seven days before the meeting or such longer period as required by law to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and to each stockholder who by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws is entitled to such notice, by (i) leaving such notice with him or at his residence or usual place of business, (ii) mailing it postage prepaid and addressed to such stockholder at his address as it appears upon the books of the corporation or (iii) sending such notice via electronic mail to the stockholder’s electronic mail address as it appears upon the books of the corporation. No notice need be given to any stockholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting by the stockholder or his attorney thereunto authorized, is filed with the records of the meeting. [Section 4 restated July 1, 2004.]

5. Quorum . The holders of a majority in interest of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum, but a lesser number may adjourn any meeting from time to time without further notice; except that if two or more classes of stock are outstanding and entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class a quorum shall consist of the holders of a majority in interest of the stock of that class issued, outstanding and entitled to vote.

6. Voting and Proxies . Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held by him of record according to the records of the corporation unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Organization.

- 4 -


valid and no proxy shall be valid after the final adjournment of such meeting. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, a proxy coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, including, without limitation, an interest in shares or in the corporation generally, may be made irrevocable if it so provides, need not specify the meeting to which it relates, and shall be valid and enforceable until the interest terminates, or for such shorter period as may be specified in the proxy. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. [Section 6 restated July 1, 2004.]

7. Action at Meeting . When a quorum is present, the holders of a majority of the stock present or represented and voting on a matter, (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, the holders of a majority of the stock of that class present or represented and voting on a matter) except where a larger vote is required by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws, shall decide any matter to be voted on by the stockholders. Each Director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the Director at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, the Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stock represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a Director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that Director. No ballot shall be required for such election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election. The corporation shall not directly or indirectly vote any share of its stock, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation may vote shares of its

 

- 5 -


own stock held by it, directly or indirectly, in a fiduciary capacity. [Section 7 amended May 24, 2007.]

In the absence of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary shall perform said duties. The certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary as to the regularity of such proxies and as to the number of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting shall be received as prima facie evidence of the number of shares which are present in person and by proxy and entitled to vote, for the purpose of establishing the presence of a quorum at such meeting, for the purpose of organizing such meeting, and for all other purposes. [Section 8 restated July 1, 2004.]

9. Inspectors . At each meeting of the stockholders, (i) the proxies shall be received and taken in charge by three inspectors, (ii) where voting is to be by ballot on any question, the polls shall be opened and closed and the ballots shall be taken in charge by such inspectors, and (iii) all questions touching the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by such three inspectors or a majority thereof. Such inspectors may be appointed by the Board of Directors before such meeting, or, if no such appointment shall have been made, then by the presiding officer at such meeting. In the event for any reason any of the inspectors previously appointed shall fail to attend such meeting, or being present will not or cannot act in such capacity, then an inspector or inspectors in place of such inspector or inspectors failing to attend or not acting shall be appointed by the presiding officer.

ARTICLE V

Capital Stock

1. Issuance of Stock . The Board of Directors shall have the power to issue from time to time shares of the capital stock of the corporation for such consideration, in such installments, and upon such terms as the Directors may determine in accordance with the law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws.

2. Certificates of Stock . Each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate of the capital stock of the corporation in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by the Directors. The certificate shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, but when a certificate is countersigned by a Transfer Agent or a Registrar other than a Director, officer or employee of the corporation, such signatures may be facsimiles. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the time of its issue.

Every certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Articles of Organization, these By-Laws or any agreement to which the corporation is a party, shall have the restriction noted conspicuously on the certificate and shall also set forth on the face or back either the full text of the restriction or a statement of the existence of such restriction and a statement that the corporation will furnish a copy to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge. Every certificate issued when the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall set forth on its face or back either the full text of the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special and relative rights of the shares of each class and series authorized to be issued or a statement of the existence of such preferences, powers, qualifications and rights, and a statement that the

corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge.

3. Transfers . Subject to the restrictions, if any, stated or noted on the stock certificates, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of the corporation by the surrender to the corporation or its Transfer Agent of the certificate therefor properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment and power of attorney properly executed, with necessary transfer stamps affixed, and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the corporation or its Transfer Agent may reasonably require. Except as may be otherwise required by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws, the corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect thereof, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-Laws.

It shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the corporation or its Transfer Agent of his post office address.

4. Transfer Agent and Registrar . The Directors shall have power to appoint one or more Transfer Agents and Registrars for the transfer and registration of certificates of stock of any class, and may require that stock certificates shall be countersigned and registered by one or more of such Transfer Agents and Registrars. The resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, appointing and conferring the powers, rights, duties and obligations of the Transfer Agent or Registrar, or both, shall allocate and delimit the power to make original issue and transfer of the capital stock of the corporation, shall specify whether stockholders shall give notice of changes of their addresses to the Transfer Agent or the Registrar, and shall allocate and impose the duty of maintaining the original stock ledgers or transfer books, or both, of the corporation, and of disclosing the names of the stockholders, the number of shares held by each, by kinds and classes, and the address of each stockholder as it appears upon the records of the corporation. Stockholders shall be responsible for notifying the Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may

 

- 15 -


be, in writing, of any changes in their addresses from time to time, and failure so to do will relieve the corporation, its stockholders, officers, Directors, Transfer Agent and Registrar, of liability for failure to direct notices, dividends, or other documents or property to an address other than the one appearing upon the records of the Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, who is the agent specified in such a resolution as the agent to receive notices of changes of address.

5. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . The corporation may issue a new certificate for shares of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued and alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, but the Board of Directors may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to furnish affidavit as to such loss, theft or destruction, and to give a bond in such form and substance, and with such surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as it may direct, to indemnify the corporation and the Transfer Agent or Registrar against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate.

6. Record Date . The Directors may fix in advance a time of not more than seventy days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or the date for the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution to stockholders, or the last day on which the consent or dissent of stockholders may be effectively expressed for any purpose, as the record date for determining the stockholders having the right to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or the right to receive such dividend or distribution or the right to give such consent or dissent. In such case only stockholders of record on such record date shall have such right, notwithstanding any transfer of stock on the books of the corporation after the record date. Without fixing such record date the Directors may for any of such purposes close the transfer books for all or any part of such period. [Section 6 restated July 1, 2004.]

7. Reacquisition of Stock . Shares of stock previously issued which have been reacquired by the corporation, may be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares by vote of the Board of Directors, without amendment of the Articles of Organization.

may be made a party to or otherwise involved with or with which he shall be threatened, by reason of his being, or related to his status as, a Director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation or of any other organization in which the corporation directly or indirectly owns shares or of which the corporation is a creditor, which other organization he serves or has served as director, officer, employee or other agent at the request of the corporation (whether or not he continues to be an officer, Director, employee or other agent of the corporation or such other organization at the time such action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened), unless such indemnification is prohibited by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any rights to which any such person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the executors or administrators of each such person. The corporation may pay the expenses incurred by any such person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such payment if it is determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. This section shall be subject to amendment or repeal only by action of the stockholders.

(b) The Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, authorize the corporation to enter into agreements, including any amendments or modifications thereto, with any of its Directors, officers or other persons described in paragraph (a) above providing for indemnification of such persons to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and the corporation’s Articles of Organization and By-Laws.

All inventory reporting to be segregated by Non-Standard and Standard parts.

Cancellation/De-Expedite Status

The Supplier will provide to Customer, on a bi-weekly basis a written report indicating the following:

 

 

Newly identified de-expedite and cancel opportunities sorted by sub-tier supplier in descending dollar order based on the cancelled portion. Newly identified de-expedite and cancel opportunities are defined as the new MRP actions identified during the past two week period.

Detailed back-up reporting to be provided on a monthly basis or upon request.

 

11.6. Excess Inventory Disposition:

 

11.6.1 Contra-Asset Account On-hand Raw Material, WIP, Finished Goods and on-order Raw Materials liabilities will be evaluated monthly relative to Customer Forecast.

In the first week of Supplier’s Fiscal Month, Supplier will notify Customer of inventory balance in excess of Customer’s [    ]* demand at the end of prior Supplier’s fiscal month. By the 15th day of each month, Customer will provide a PO to Supplier for the quoted material value of the excess inventory position. Supplier will book the PO payment to an inventory reserve allocated to Customer on Supplier’s balance sheet. The parts will physically stay in Supplier’s stockroom, warehouse, or WIP stock.

The value of excess inventory payments will continue to show in Supplier’s gross inventory, but the inventory reserve (contra-asset) will cause the net inventory position of Supplier’s Customer inventory to be reduced less than the gross position. Reporting of inventory balances to Customer by Supplier would show an itemization of parts that equals the gross position with a line at the bottom of the report which would reflect the reserve position and show a net inventory number.

Customer may ship to Supplier a mutually agreed quantity of Customer owned material at Supplier’s current budget price that has demand in the Forecast. Supplier will receive and hold such inventory into Supplier’s on-hand inventory and Supplier will book the inventory value to the reserve account (contra-asset) allocated to Customer on Supplier’s balance sheet. The parts will be physically located in Supplier’s active stockroom, warehouse, or WIP stock.

Supplier will refresh the excess inventory analysis to reflect the changes in on-hand inventory on a monthly basis, and provide a consumption report to the Customer the first week of the next month. Supplier is fully responsible for the value of all inventories held

- >$[    ]*—$[    ]*    $[    ]* per month fixed fee;
   - >$[    ]* $[    ]* per month fixed fee, plus [    ]*% per month for the value of the inventory above $[    ]*.

The fee is an accommodation for the following contra-asset management costs incurred by Supplier. The fee is intended to cover the costs of the following activities:

 

  - cycle counts;

 

  - quarterly audits, not to exceed one day and one person Supplier support unless discrepancies require additional support;

 

  - storage;

 

  - shrinkage;

 

  - insurance;

 

  - transportation between warehouses;
  - management / analysis / activity reporting.

 

11.6.4 Customer will provide purchase order and authorization to ship or scrap within ten (10) days of notification, at quoted material price plus cost of acquisition, for on hand material that is obsolete due to date code, or zero demand in Forecast or other material Customer wants to remove from the contra asset account.

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT (CONSIGNED EQUIPMENT)

This Agreement defines the license terms and conditions under which Teradyne, Inc. (“Customer”) grants user rights to selected software and the undersigned (“Supplier”) will use such selected software. These terms apply only to software owned or controlled by Customer that is delivered to Supplier by Customer and is listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Software”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Customer grants a license to Software, as outlined herein, effective when Software is delivered to Supplier and, if required, a license key to enable use of Software. The license grants Supplier the limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use Software and related documentation only for their internal use. Software that operates on a test system or equipment is licensed for use only with the specific test system or equipment for which it is authorized by Customer, except temporary use on another test system or other equipment is permitted if due to malfunction of the identified test system or equipment. Unless otherwise specified by Customer, in associated purchase documents or license keys, the term of this license shall extend only for so long as Supplier is consigned the use of the test system or equipment. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Customer, the license of Software is not transferable or sublicenseable by Supplier or its consolidated subsidiaries to any other party.

2. Supplier’s rights in Software and documentation are user’s rights only, and all title and ownership rights in them remain with Teradyne (or third party supplier to Customer). Supplier acknowledges that the Software and related documentation contain trade secret and proprietary information of Customer, and agrees not to disclose it to any others, using the same degree of care as with its own materials of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care. Supplier shall not modify, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer Software. Supplier will not copy the Software or related documentation, except for archival or emergency backup purposes. Any such copy must contain the copyright or proprietary notice as furnished with the original. Supplier agrees to allow Customer to monitor compliance with these conditions in a manner that does not interfere with normal business operations. When additional licenses or license terms exist or are required for any third party material incorporated in or delivered with Software, the terms of that third party license will supercede any conflicting terms in this Agreement as it relates to the third party material.

3. IN NO EVENT, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHETHER OR NOT EITHER PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

4. Customer can terminate Supplier’s rights to use any specific item or items of Software for any material failure to perform Supplier’s obligations under this License with respect to that item or items of Software that is not remedied within thirty (30) days of written notice, or Supplier’s ceasing to do business or becoming bankrupt. If Customer terminates the license to such item or

 

27


CONFIDENTIAL   Execution Version

 

items of Software for such cause, Supplier agrees to return such item of Software and Documentation including any copies or partial copies thereof. Licenses to other items of Software not so terminated shall continue in full force and effect. In the case of Supplier’s ceasing to do business or becoming bankrupt, the Agreement is terminated including all licenses to specific items of Software and Supplier agrees to return all Software and Documentation.

5. Any change to this License Agreement must be in writing, signed by both parties. The laws of the State of California will govern interpretation of this License Agreement. Customer makes no grant of license rights to any third party software, source code, applications or open source software not delivered by Customer (hereinafter Third Party Software) necessary to use the Software on Supplier’s workstations or at its’ facilities. Supplier is responsible for securing all licenses for Third Party Software.

6. Supplier shall not export, re-export or release any specific item or items of Software, the source code for any specific item or items of Software, or any product incorporating any Software to a national of a country or to any country to which restrictions are applied from time to time by the U.S. Department of Commerce without an export license from the U.S. Government. This restriction shall survive the expiration or termination of this License Agreement.

7. To the best of Customer’s knowledge, after reasonable diligence, Customer represents that, as of the date of this License Agreement, the export of the Software to China does not require an individually validated export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce and that such export is not restricted or prohibited by the U.S. Department of Commerce or U.S. Government.

EXEMPT EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by                                               (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solectron Corporation and in consideration of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I agree to the following:

1. Maintaining Confidential Information

a. Company Information. I agree, at all times during the term of my employment, and thereafter to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to divulge or disclose, directly or indirectly, to any person, corporation or other entity, without written authorization of the management of the Company, any trade secrets, confidential knowledge, data or proprietary information (collectively referred as ‘Confidential Information”) relating to products, processes, know-how, designs, formulas, development or experimental work, computer programs, data bases, other original work of authorship, customer lists, business plans, financial information or other subject matter pertaining to any business of the Company or any of its clients, consultants or licensees.

b. Former Employee Information. I agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of my former or concurrent employers or companies, if any, and that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or any property belonging to my former or concurrent employers or companies, if any, unless consented to in writing by the said employers or companies.

c. Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received, and in the future will receive, from third parties their confidential or proprietary information, subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I agree that I owe the Company and such third parties, during the term of my employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose them to any person, firm or corporation (except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) or to use it for the benefit of anyone or other than for the Company or such third party (consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) without the express written authorization of the management of the Company.

2. Retaining and Assigning Inventions and Original Works

a. Inventions and Original Works Retained by Me. I have attached hereto, as Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by me prior to my employment with the Company, which belong to me, which relate to the Company’s proposed business and products, and which are not assigned to the Company, or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such inventions.

b. Inventions and Original Works Assigned to the Company. I agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and assign to the Company all my rights, title, and interest in and to, all inventions, discoveries, improvements, technology, trade secrets, computer programs, know-how, design, formulas,

c. Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by me during the term of my employment with the Company. The records shall be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other formats that may be specified by the Company. The records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

I agree that my obligation to assist the Company to obtain letters patent and copyright registrations, as the case may be, covering inventions assigned hereunder to the Company shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate for time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance.

If the Company is unable, because of my mental or physical incapacity, or for any other reason, to secure my signature on any documents required to apply for or to pursue any application for any patents or copyright registrations, as the case may be, covering inventions assigned to the Company as above, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company, and its duly authorized officers and agents, as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf, to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

I hereby waive and quit claim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now, or may hereafter, have for infringement of any patents or copyrights resulting from any such application for patents or copyright registrations assigned hereunder to the Company.

3. Conflicting Employment . I agree that, during the term or my employment with the Company, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of my employment, nor will I engage in any other activities that conflict with my obligations to the Company.

4. Returning Company Documents . I agree that, at the time of leaving the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns. In the event of termination of my employment, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached hereto as Exhibit B.

The license grants Supplier and its consolidated subsidiaries the limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use Software and related documentation only for final configuration and test of Customer hardware systems. Unless otherwise specified by Customer, in associated master contracts, the term of this license shall extend only for so long as Supplier is performing final test and configuration for Customer. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Customer, the license of Software is not transferable or sublicenseable by Supplier or its consolidated subsidiaries to any other party.

2. Supplier’s rights in Software and documentation are user’s rights only, and all title and ownership rights in them remain with Customer (or third party supplier to Customer). Supplier acknowledges that the Software and related documentation contain trade secret and proprietary information of Customer, and agrees not to disclose it to any others, using the same degree of care as with its own materials of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care. Supplier shall not modify, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer Software.

Any such copy, however, must contain the copyright or proprietary notice as furnished with the original. Supplier agrees to allow Customer to monitor compliance with these conditions in a manner that does not interfere with normal business operations.

3. IN NO EVENT WHETHER AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHETHER OR NOT EITHER PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
