Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 27, 2007, Teradyne, Inc. (“Teradyne”) and Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”) entered into a Second Amendment to an existing Standard Manufacturing Agreement dated November 24, 2003. Pursuant to the amendment, Teradyne’s contract with Solectron was extended to include additional manufacturing and test requirements, including areas of final, configuration and test for most of Teradyne’s Flex™ family of products. The work for the new requirements will be done by Solectron’s subsidiary located in Suzhou, China. The agreement with Solectron will expire in 2010, although it may be automatically extended for subsequent annual terms. The agreement may be terminated by either party for customary reasons, including, default, bankruptcy or without cause by providing twelve months advanced written notice.
