to
Non-Statutory Stock Option Agreement

period as hereinafter provided in the event of termination of employment or
death of the Optionee, the Option shall continue in effect for a period of ten
years from the Option Grant Date.
2. Vesting (when you can exercise your options). Except as provided
in paragraph 5 of this Exhibit A, the Option may be exercised from time to time
in the following amounts:
Percentage of Shares
Subject to Option
--------------------
Prior to 12 months after Option Grant Date 0%
12 months after Option Grant Date 25%

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, if a Special Acceleration, as defined

the effect on the Option that is provided in paragraph 8(b) of this Exhibit A.
3. Limitations on Right to Exercise. Except as provided in
paragraph 5 of this Exhibit A, the Option may not be exercised unless at the
time of such exercise the Optionee is employed by the Company and has been so
employed continuously since the Option Grant Date. For purposes of this
Exhibit A, a person is considered to be employed by the Company if the person is
employed by any entity (the "Employer") that is either the Company or a parent
or subsidiary of the Company.
4. Nonassignability. The Option may not be assigned or transferred
by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the
state or country of the Optionee's domicile at the time of death, and during the
lifetime of the Optionee the Option may be exercised only by the Optionee.
5. Termination of Employment.
(a) General Rule. If the Optionee's employment by the Company
terminates for any reason other than because of physical disability as provided
in paragraph 5(c), or death as provided in paragraph 5 (d), or when the Optionee
is eligible for retirement as provided in paragraph 5(b), the Option may be
exercised at any time before the expiration date of the Option or the expiration
of three months after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period,
but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option
at the date of termination.
(b) Termination When Eligible for Retirement. In the event of
the termination of the Optionee's employment when the Optionee is eligible for
retirement (other than because of death as provided in paragraph 5(d) or because
of physical disability as provided in paragraph 5(c)), the Option may be
exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the Option or the
expiration of one year after the date of such termination, whichever is the
shortest period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to
exercise the Option on the date of termination. For purposes of this Stock
Option Agreement, the Optionee is eligible for retirement if the Optionee is at
least 55 years of age and vested under the Tektronix Cash Balance Plan. The
Company may, in its sole discretion, cancel the Option at any time prior to the
exercise thereof unless the following conditions are met:
(i) The Optionee shall not render services for any
organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the
judgment of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is or becomes
competitive with the Company, or which is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or
in conflict with the interests of the Company. The Optionee shall be free,
however, to purchase as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of
such organization or business so long as they are listed upon a recognized
securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and such investment does not
represent a substantial investment to the Optionee or a greater than 10 percent
equity interest in the organization or business.
(ii) The Optionee shall not, without prior written
authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use
in other than the Company's business, any confidential information or material,
as defined in the Company's employee confidentiality agreement, relating to the
business of the Company, acquired by the Optionee either during or after
employment with the Company.
(iii) The Optionee, pursuant to the Company's employee
confidentiality agreement, shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all
right, title, and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or
conceived by the Optionee during employment by the Company, relating in any
manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of
the Company and shall do anything reasonably necessary as requested by the
Company to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United
States and in foreign countries.
(c) Termination Because of Disability. If the Optionee's
employment by the Company terminates because of physical disability preventing
the Optionee from performing regular duties, all or any part of the Option may
be exercised by the Optionee (without regard to the vesting schedule specified
in paragraph 2 of this Exhibit A) at any time before the expiration date of the
Option or before the date one year after the date of termination, whichever is
the shorter period.
(d) Termination Because of Death. If the Optionee dies while
employed by the Company, all or any part of the Option may be exercised (without
regard to the vesting schedule specified in paragraph 2 of this Exhibit A) at
any time before the expiration date of the Option or before the date one year
after the date of death, whichever is the shorter period, but only by the person
or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option shall pass by the
Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or
country of domicile at the time of death.
(e) Failure to Exercise Option. To the extent that the Option is
not exercised within the applicable period above provided, all further rights to
purchase shares pursuant to the Option shall cease and terminate.
(f) Leave of Absence. Absence on leave approved by the Employer
or on account of illness or disability shall not be deemed a termination or
interruption of employment or service. Vesting of the Option shall continue
during a medical, family or military leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid,
and vesting of the Option shall be suspended during any other unpaid leave of
absence.
6. Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised only upon
receipt by the Company of written notice from the Optionee of the Optionee's
binding commitment to purchase shares, specifying the number of shares the
Optionee desires to purchase under the Option and the date on which the Optionee
agrees to complete the transaction and, if required in order to comply with the
Securities Act of 1933, containing a representation that it is the Optionee's
intention to acquire the shares for investment and not with a view to
distribution. On or before the date specified for completion of the purchase of
the shares, the Optionee must pay the Company the full purchase price of those
shares in cash or by check or, with the consent of the Company, in Common Shares
of the Company valued at fair market value. Any Common Shares provided in
payment of the purchase price must have been previously acquired and held by the
Optionee for at least six months. The fair market value of Common Shares
provided in payment of the purchase price shall be the closing price of the
Common Shares last reported before the time payment in Common Shares is made or,
if earlier, committed to be made, if the Company's Common Shares is publicly
traded, or another value of the Common Shares as specified by the Board of
Directors.
No shares shall be issued until full payment for the shares has been made,
including all amounts owed for tax withholding. Upon notification of the amount
due (if any), the Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash amounts necessary to
satisfy applicable federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, residents of the People's Republic of China
shall, concurrent with exercise, elect to sell the exercised shares at the
current fair market value of the shares pursuant to the Company's same-day sale
procedures.
7. Changes in Capital Structure.
(a) If the outstanding Common Shares are increased or decreased
or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities of the Company by reason of any stock split, combination of shares,
dividend payable in shares, recapitalization or reclassification, appropriate
adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors in the number and kind of
shares as to which the Option, or portion thereof then unexercised, shall be
exercisable, so that the Optionee's proportionate interest before and after the
occurrence of the event is maintained. Any such adjustments made by the Board of
Directors shall be conclusive.
(b) Subject to the requirements of paragraph 8(a) of this
Exhibit A, in the event of a merger, consolidation, plan of exchange,
acquisition of property, or stock, split-up, split-off, spin-off, reorganization
or liquidation to which the Company is a party or any sale, lease, exchange or
other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all,
or substantially all, of the assets of the Company (each, a "Transaction"), the
Company shall, in its sole discretion and to the extent possible under the
structure of the Transaction, select one of the following alternatives for
treating the Option:
(i) The Option shall remain in effect in accordance with
its terms.
(ii) The Option shall be converted into an option to
purchase stock in one or more of the corporations, including the Company, that
are the surviving or acquiring corporations in the Transaction. The amount, type
of securities subject thereto and exercise price of the converted option shall
be determined by the Company, taking into account the relative values of the
companies involved in the Transaction and the exchange rate, if any, used in
determining shares of the surviving corporation(s) to be held by holders of
shares of the Company following the Transaction. Unless otherwise determined by
the Company, the converted option shall be vested only to the extent that the
vesting requirements relating to the Option have been satisfied.
(iii) The Company shall provide a period of 30 days
or less before the completion of the Transaction during which the Option may be
exercised to the extent then exercisable, and upon the expiration of that
period, any unexercised portion of the Option shall immediately terminate.
(c) In the event of the dissolution of the Company, the Option
shall be treated in accordance with paragraph 7(b)(iii) above.
8. Special Acceleration in Certain Events.
(a) Special Acceleration. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Exhibit A, a special acceleration ("Special Acceleration") of the Option
shall occur with the effect set forth in paragraph 8(b) of this Exhibit A at any
time when any one of the following events has taken place:
(i) The shareholders of the Company approve one of the
following ("Approved Transactions") and either (x) the Approved Transaction is
consummated or (y) the Company determines that consummation of the Approved
Transaction is likely and establishes an option exercise period in connection
with the consummation of the Approved Transaction:
(1) Any consolidation, merger or plan of
exchange involving the Company ("Merger") in which the Company is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which Common Shares of the
Company would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a
Merger involving the Company in which the holders of Common Shares immediately
prior to the
Merger have the same proportionate ownership of Common Shares of the surviving
corporation after the Merger; or
(2) Any sale, lease, exchange, or other
transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or the adoption of any plan or
proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
(ii) A tender or exchange offer, other than one made
by the Company, is made for Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common
Shares) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased
and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as
determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, of at least 20 percent of the
outstanding Common Shares; or
(iii) During any period of 12 months or less,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted a majority of the
Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless
the nomination or election of such new directors was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the
beginning of such period.
The terms used in this paragraph 8 and not defined elsewhere in this Exhibit A
shall have the same meanings as such terms have in the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations adopted thereunder.
(b) Effect on the Option. Upon a Special Acceleration pursuant
to paragraph 8(a), the Option shall immediately become exercisable in full for
the remainder of its term or until earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph 7 of
this Exhibit A.
9. No Solicitation. Employee agrees that for 18 months after
Employee's employment with the Company terminates for any reason, with or
without cause, whether by the Company or Employee, Employee shall not recruit,
attempt to hire, solicit, or assist others in recruiting or hiring, any person
who is an employee of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, in each case as
of the date of employment termination, or induce or attempt to induce any such
employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. In addition to other remedies that may be available to the
Company, Employee shall repay to the Company all benefits received under this
Agreement if Employee violates this Section 9.
