CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT

This Confidential Separation And Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Employee”), an individual, and by TTM Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Company” or “Employer”), including the Company’s other subsidiaries. The above-named parties shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”

R E C I T A L S

A. WHEREAS, since 2001, Employee was employed by the Company in various financial management roles, including its Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President, Executive Vice President (“EVP”), and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), pursuant to an At-Will Employment Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and an Executive Change in Control Severance Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B;

B. WHEREAS, on January 25, 2013, the Company and Employee mutually reached the decision that Employee’s employment with Company should end; and

C. WHEREAS, the Parties are entering into this Agreement in connection with the termination of Employee’s employment and his release of claims to resolve, fully and finally, any and all actual and potential claims and issues between them, arising from Employee’s employment with the Company, and/or Employee’s separation from employment with the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Employee and the Company agree as follows:

1. Execution of the Releases. As a condition of Employee’s right to receive the consideration provided for in this Agreement, Employee must execute and not rescind the two Releases, which are attached to this Agreement as Exhibits C and D (the “Releases”). Employee must execute the First Release (Exhibit C) within twenty-four (24) days after his receipt of this Agreement. The Employee must execute the Second Release (Exhibit D) within twenty-four (24) days after the March 29, 2013 termination of his employment. The Employee shall not execute the Second Release (Exhibit D) prior to March 30, 2013, the day after his employment with the Employer actually terminates. The Employee’s failure to execute either Release, or Employee’s actual or attempted recession of either Release, shall relieve the Employer of any duty to provide any consideration provided for by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred prior to March 29, 2013 consistent with the Company’s practices of expense reimbursement for incumbent employees. Employee agrees that he will submit all expenses by March 22, 2013.

2. Effective Date of Termination And Relief of Officer Executive Duties. Assuming Employee agrees to the terms of this Agreement and executes this Agreement, executes the Release (Exhibit C) within the specified twenty-four (24) days, and does not revoke the Release (Exhibit C) within seven (7) days thereafter, Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective March 29, 2013 (the “Termination Date”). However, as of March 2, 2013 (the date Employee is placed on paid leave per Section 3(a) below), Employee will be relieved of all his officer and executive duties as the Company’s CFO, EVP, Secretary and Treasurer.

If Employee does not agree to the terms of this Agreement and does not execute this Agreement and the Release (Exhibit C) within the timeframe specified, or revokes the Release (Exhibit C), his employment will be terminated effective March 2, 2013.

On or before the Termination Date, Employee will receive payment for all accrued paid time off (“PTO”) due and owing him as of March 2, 2013.

3. Consideration. In consideration of the covenants undertaken and Employee’s execution of the attached Releases, and provided that Employee does not revoke this Agreement or either Release, the Company agrees to provide Employee with the following consideration:

(a) Paid Leave: Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that he will be on a paid leave of absence, from March 2, 2013 through March, 29, 2013 (“Paid Leave”). During Employee’s Paid Leave, Employee will remain generally available during normal business hours between 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to help transition matters, working on the following types of on-going projects: routine review of the Company’s financial and accounting statements; completion of annual Finance Department team performance reviews; consultation with Finance Department team members on existing processes and procedures and the transitioning of existing Finance Department projects During Employee’s Paid Leave, the Company will provide Employee with his normal bi-weekly base compensation pay in the amount of $13,461.54 (less applicable payroll withholdings for state and federal income taxes, FICA, and other applicable payroll deductions that the Company reasonably determines are required by law or elected by Employee) paid in accordance with the Company’s normal bi-weekly payroll schedule. It is anticipated that Employee will work no more than twenty (20) hours per week during the Paid Leave. Employee will not accrue any additional benefits (such as PTO and bonuses) during his Paid Leave; and his participation in any Company employee benefit plan that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) will be subject to the terms of such ERISA plan, law and requirements imposed by any insurance policy relating to such ERISA plan.

(b) Severance Pay: After the Paid Leave, the Company will provide Employee with eleven (11) months of severance pay in the gross amount of $320,833.34 (less applicable payroll withholdings for state and federal income taxes, FICA, and other applicable payroll deductions that the Company reasonably determines are required by law or elected by Employee) which is equal to eleven (11) months of Employee’s base pay to be paid in two equal lump sum payments of the gross amount of $160,416.67 (less applicable payroll withholdings for state and federal income taxes, FICA, and other applicable payroll deductions that the Company reasonably determines are required by law or elected by Employee). The first payment will be made within

ten (10) business days after the expiration of the rescission period provided in, and after Employee’s execution of, the Second Release (Exhibit D). Provided the first payment is required to be made hereunder, the second payment will be made on September 3, 2013. Both the second and the first lump sum payments will be directly deposited into a bank account designated by Employee.

(c) COBRA Premium Payments: The Company will pay for Employee’s Health Care Benefits Continuation premium pursuant to section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”) for a period of six (6) months (through September 30, 2013) at the rate required to continue his current health care coverage.

(d) Employer will provide Employee with three (3) months’ of outplacement services (not to exceed a cost of $5,000) with Lee, Hecht, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or comparable outplacement/career counseling company of its choosing in Southern California.

4. Waiver of Right to Recovery. Employee waives any right he may have to any form of recovery or compensation from any legal, administrative or other charge, claim, complaint, or action which has been, is or may be filed by him or on his behalf based on his employment with, or separation of employment from, the Company. Employee warrants that, except as provided below, he has neither filed or otherwise commenced nor caused to be filed or otherwise commenced any charges, claims, complaints, or actions against the Employer before any federal, state, or local administrative agency, court, or other forum.

Employee understands and agrees that, pursuant to this Agreement, he is releasing any additional rights that he may have to any continuing payment/benefits/bonuses, including a Company bonus for time worked in 2012 and 2013, which is not specifically provided for in this Agreement. However, if the executive level management team (those senior level managers who directly report to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, TTM Chief Executive Officer) is awarded a management incentive plan bonus for the calendar year 2012 (either before or after the Termination Date), Employee will receive a 2012 management incentive plan bonus in an amount awarded pursuant to the plan terms.

Exceptions. Employee understands that this Agreement permits but does not require him to voluntarily refrain from filing, to request dismissal or to request withdrawal of any charges, grievances, petitions, or complaints that he may have against the Employer before the EEOC or other civil rights enforcement agency.

5. Vesting of TTM Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Vesting of Annual TTM Restricted Stock Unit Grants.
