Ujjwal Kumar

 

Dear Ujjwal,

 

In connection with the termination of your employment with Teradyne, Inc. (“Teradyne”) on 9/30/25, (or earlier as set forth in Section 1 below), you are eligible to receive the severance benefits described in Attachment A if you (i) sign and return this agreement to the HR Service Center by 8/29/25; (ii) sign and return on your termination date the Release of Claims attached hereto as Attachment B and do not revoke it within the seven (7) day revocation period; and (iii) your employment is not terminated for “Cause” during the “Transition Period” as defined below.

 

If you choose not to sign this Agreement and Attachment B or you revoke your acceptance of the Release in Attachment B during the seven (7) day revocation period, you will not receive the severance benefits under this Agreement from Teradyne. If you choose not to sign this Agreement, you will only receive your regular salary during the “Transition Period”, along with the standard 2 weeks of severance, and payment on or before your termination for any unused Flex PTO time accrued, through the separation date.

 

1.
Separation Date - Your effective date of termination from Teradyne is 9/30/25 (the “Separation Date”), or such earlier date as your employment may be terminated by Teradyne for “Cause” as defined below. The period between today and your Separation Date shall be deemed a “Transition Period,” during which you will continue to work for Teradyne and will use your best efforts, in full cooperation and in accordance with the directions of Teradyne, to assist Teradyne with the orderly and successful transfer of your duties and responsibilities (the “Transition Duties”). Teradyne expects you to maintain appropriate, business-like decorum throughout the Transition Period. For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean a good faith finding by Teradyne that you: (a) failed to perform your Transition Duties diligently or effectively or were negligent in the performance of these duties; (b) materially breached this letter agreement; (c) breached your non-disclosure obligations under your Teradyne Employment Agreement; (d) engaged in misconduct, fraud, or embezzlement; (e) engaged in any conduct that is harmful to the business, interests or reputation of Teradyne or that is in good faith determined by Teradyne to be inappropriate in the workplace; (f) ceased to be in active employment at any time during the Transition Period (including due to voluntary termination by you); or (g) were convicted of, or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime involving moral turpitude or any felony. If in Teradyne’s sole discretion, you are terminated without cause prior to 9/30/25, you will still be eligible for Severance Benefits pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If you choose to resign from Teradyne prior to 9/30/25, you will not receive the Severance Benefits.
2.

You further acknowledge that during your employment with Teradyne you have had access to highly confidential customer information and may have signed acknowledgements, certifications and/or non-disclosure agreements in connection with that confidential customer information. You understand and acknowledge that your obligation to maintain the confidentiality of that information continues even after your employment with Teradyne ends and that unauthorized disclosure by you of any confidential customer information could expose you to liability to Teradyne and to the customer. You acknowledge that you shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Accordingly, you have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to Federal, State, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. You also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).
5.

For all third party inquiries, you agree to direct requests for references to James Mahon, and if Mr. Mahon receives any such requests, on behalf of Teradyne he will provide only your dates of employment and job titles. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit your rights under state or federal law.
8.
Waiver of Rights - No delay or omission by Teradyne in exercising any right under this agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by Teradyne on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.
9.
Validity - Should any provision of this agreement be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby.
10.

You acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 12 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of Teradyne and are considered by you to be reasonable for such purpose.
