Exhibit 10.2
Teradyne, Inc.
Deferral Plan for Non-Employee
Directors
(Restated Effective January 1,
2005)
WHEREAS, Teradyne, Inc. (the
“Company”) has established the Teradyne, Inc. Deferral
Plan for Non-Employee Directors, effective January 1, 2001,
and amended as of March 1, 2003, (the “Prior
Plan”) which provides each Non-Employee Director of the
Company with an election to defer receipt of his or her
Compensation from the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to amend
and restate such Prior Plan to comply with Section 409A with
respect to Compensation deferred after December 31, 2004 and
expand the elections permitted under the Prior Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby
amends and restates the Prior Plan to read in its entirety as set
forth below, as so amended and restated (the “Plan”).
The Plan has been operated in compliance with Section 409A
since January 1, 2005 with respect to amounts subject to
Section 409A. This amendment and restatement is intended to
memorialize any changes in operation of the Plan as of that date as
required by Section 409A. All other changes are effective as
otherwise provided herein.
Each person who is a Non-Employee
Director on December 1, 2004 is eligible to participate in the
Plan for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2005. All other
persons who are Non-Employee Directors on December 1 of any
calendar year beginning in or after December 1, 2005 are
eligible to participate in the Plan Year beginning the immediately
following January 1. A Non-Employee Director who is eligible
to participate may become a Participant by making a deferral
election with respect to Compensation payable in the following Plan
Year under Section 2. Eligibility to participate in the Plan
for any Non-Employee Director automatically ends upon the
termination of the individual’s status as a member of the
Board of Directors. If the Non-Employee Director becomes an
Employee then any deferral election for Compensation payable in the
Plan Year in which such employment commences shall remain in effect
for the balance of the Plan Year but no further deferral elections
may be made under the Plan.
A. Each Non-Employee Director who
makes an election to defer the receipt of Compensation for any Plan
Year must complete a Deferral Election Form, no later than the
December 1 prior to the first day of the Plan Year with
respect to which it is intended to be effective and deliver such
completed form to the Company’s HR director or other
designated Company Employee. A Deferral Election Form may be
modified or withdrawn by the Participant prior to December 1
preceding the Plan Year to which it relates. The last completed
form delivered to the HR director prior to or on December 1
and not withdrawn as of that date, shall be considered the Deferral
Election Form for the upcoming Plan Year and shall be irrevocable
after such December 1.
-1-
B. Each Non-Employee Director who does not
timely complete and deliver a Deferral Election Form for any Plan
Year shall not defer receipt of any Compensation for such Plan Year
and shall receive any and all Compensation to which he or she is
entitled during such Plan Year in accordance with the
Company’s customary practices.
The Deferral Election Form for each
Plan Year Deferral shall include the following
elections:
A. An election to defer all the cash
Compensation or, effective for Plan Years beginning January 1,
2007, all the Shares or both that are otherwise payable to the
Non-Employee Director in the next Plan Year.
B. An election of the manner in
which the cash portion of the Plan Year Deferral shall be allocated
under the terms of Section 4(B)(1), as amended from time to
time.
C. An election as to whether the
Plan Year Deferral is payable, on distribution, in a lump sum or,
effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1,
2007, such number of annual installments (up to a maximum of 15) as
the Non-Employee Director elects.
A. The Company or its designee shall
establish an account for each Participant for recordkeeping
purposes only, including sufficient subaccounts to reflect all of
Participant’s elections in Section 3 for all such
Participant’s Plan Year Deferrals. The account and
subaccounts are intended only for the purposes of determining the
amounts to be distributed to the Participant under the Plan.
Grandfathered Accounts shall be subject only to the terms of the
Plan which were in effect under the Prior Plan, unless the Board
elects at any time, to make them subject to the terms of the
amended and restated Plan by a resolution to that
effect.
B. The account and subaccount shall
be adjusted as follows:
1. Cash deferred by any Participant
will be allocated, in accordance with the Participant’s
election, to either (a) a notional account, or (b) a
Deferred Stock Unit account (“DSU Account”).
a. Notional Account . Any
amount which the Participant has allocated to a notional account,
shall be credited with earnings, quarterly, at the rate in effect
at the beginning of each Plan Year on 10 year Treasury
Notes.
b. DSU Account . Any amount
which the Participant has allocated to the DSU Account will be
converted into a number of Deferred Stock Units on the date the
cash amounts deferred would have been paid to the Participant. The
number of Deferred Stock Units credited to the Participant’s
DSU Account with respect to each cash deferral shall be determined
by dividing the cash amount deferred by the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on such date. If any cash dividends are
subsequently declared with respect to the Common Stock then the
cash that would
-2-
have been paid to the Participant as dividends
if he or she had owned the number of whole shares of Common Stock
represented by the Deferred Stock Units shall, on the date such
dividend is paid, be credited to the notional account of the
Participant with respect to the Plan Year Deferral to which such
Deferred Stock Units relate and shall thereafter be credited with
earnings as provided in Section 4(B)(1)(a).
2. Any Shares deferred by the
Participant shall be separately accounted for under this
Section 4(B)(2), in a subaccount of the DSU Account. The
number of Shares deferred shall also be converted into Deferred
Stock Units, crediting the Participant with one Deferred Stock Unit
for each Share deferred. Any Shares which are not vested at the
time they are credited to the DSU Account shall be continue to vest
in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement evidencing
the award of such Shares. Any cash dividends payable with respect
to the deferred Shares shall be treated as specified in
Section 4(B)(1)(b) and shall vest in accordance with the terms
applicable to the Shares.

Voting and
Dividend Rights in Deferred Stock Units.
|
No Participant shall be entitled to
any voting rights or to receive (except as provided in
Section 4(B)) any dividends with respect to any amounts or
Shares treated as converted into Deferred Stock Units.
A. Generally . Distributions
of each Plan Year Deferral shall be made as a lump sum, or in
installments, in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Election
Form the Participant has completed with respect to the Plan Year
Deferral. A Participant shall become entitled to distributions
following his or her separation from service as defined in
Section 409A. Such distributions shall be made or commence
within 90 days after the date of the Participant’s separation
from service, subject to the provisions of Section 6(F). If
distributions are to be made in installments then each annual
installment shall be made within 30 days before or after the
anniversary of the first installment distribution, except that if
the first installment is delayed in accordance with
Section 6(F), then each successive annual installment will be
made within 90 days day following the anniversary of the
Participant’s separation from service.
B. Lump Sum . Any
distributions of a Plan Year Deferral to be made in a lump sum
shall consist of (i) cash, which is an amount equal to the
aggregate balance in the Participant’s notional account with
respect to such Plan Y
