Re: Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement

Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇:

Tektronix, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In this connection, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change in control may exist and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management to their assigned duties without distraction in circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company.

In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the Company, this letter agreement, which has been approved by the Board, sets forth the severance benefits which the Company agrees will be provided to you in the event your employment with the Company is terminated subsequent to a “change in control” of the Company under the circumstances described below.

1. Agreement to Provide Services; Right to Terminate.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (ii) below, the Company or you may terminate your employment at any time, subject to the Company’s providing the benefits specified in this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) In the event of a Potential Change in Control (as defined below), you agree that you will not leave the employ of the Company (other than as a result of Disability or upon Retirement, as such terms are defined in Section 4) and will continue to render services as an officer until such Potential Change in Control has been abandoned or terminated or a Change in Control, as defined in Section 3, has occurred. For purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control of the

Company shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the Company enters into an agreement, the approval of which by the shareholders would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company; (b) any Person (including the Company) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control of the Company; or (c) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control of the Company has occurred.

2. Term of Agreement. Effective on the date of this Agreement, this Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Change in Control Agreement dated May 17, 2001. This Agreement shall continue in effect until December 31, 2008; except that:

(i) commencing on January 1, 2009 and each January 1 after that, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless at least 90 days prior to such January 1 date, the Company or you shall have given notice that this Agreement shall not be extended;

(ii) this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of twenty four (24) months beyond the term otherwise provided if a Change in Control shall have occurred during such term;

(iii) this Agreement shall terminate if you or the Company terminate your employment prior to and not in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company; and

(iv) the Company may terminate this Agreement during your employment if, prior to and not in anticipation of a Change in Control of the Company, you cease to hold your current position with the Company, except by reason of a promotion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of the first Change of Control during the term of this Agreement and immediately after the Company and you have discharged all of your respective obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, after the first Change of Control occurs under this Agreement, no further Change of Control shall occur under this Agreement

3. Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the first occurrence of any of the following: (a) any consolidation, merger, plan of share exchange, or other reorganization involving the Company (a “Merger”) as a result of which the holders of outstanding securities of the Company ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Securities”) immediately prior to the Merger do not continue to hold at least 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities of the surviving or continuing corporation immediately after the Merger, disregarding any Voting Securities issued or retained by such holders in respect of securities of any other party to the Merger; (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, the assets of the Company; (c) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (d) individuals who constitute the Board on the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director after the date of this Agreement whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is

named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this clause (d), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; (e) any Person (as defined below) shall have become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly other than by purchase from the Company, of securities of the Company ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Securities”) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Board, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement if (a) you acquire (other than on the same basis as all other holders of the Company shares) an equity interest in an entity that acquires the Company in a Change in Control otherwise described under clause (a) or (b) of the prior sentence, or (b) you are part of a group that constitutes a Person which becomes a beneficial owner of Voting Securities in a transaction that otherwise would have resulted in a Change in Control under clause (e) of the prior sentence. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean and include any individual, corporation, partnership, group, association or other “person,” as such term is used in Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company or any employee benefit plan(s) sponsored by the Company.

4. Termination Following Change in Control. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided in paragraph (iii) of Section 5 upon the termination of your employment within twenty four (24) months after such event, unless such termination is (a) because of your death or Retirement, (b) by the Company for Cause or Disability or (c) by you other than for Good Reason.

(i) Disability. Termination by the Company of your employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because of your absence from your duties with the Company on a full-time basis for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 4) is given to you following such absence you shall have returned to the full-time performance of your duties.

(ii) Retirement. Termination by you or by the Company of your employment based on “Retirement” shall mean termination on or after your normal retirement date as set forth in the Company’s Cash Balance Plan (or any successor or substitute plan or plans of the Company put into effect prior to a Change in Control).

(iii) Cause. Termination by the Company of your employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by you to perform substantially your reasonably assigned duties with the Company consistent with those duties assigned to you prior to the Change in Control (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by or on behalf of the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, or (b) the willful engaging by you in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph (iii), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you in knowing bad faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the

Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board you were guilty of the conduct set forth above in (a) or (b) of this paragraph (iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

(iv) Good Reason. Termination by you of your employment for “Good Reason” shall mean termination based on:

(A) a change in your status, title, position(s), responsibilities or reporting relationship as an officer of the Company which, in your reasonable judgment, does not represent a promotion from your status, title, position(s), responsibilities and reporting relationship as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or the assignment to you of any duties or responsibilities which, in your reasonable judgment, are inconsistent with such status, title, position(s) or reporting relationship, or any removal of you from or any failure to reappoint or reelect you to such position(s), except in connection with the termination of your employment for Cause, Disability or Retirement or as a result of your death or by you other than for Good Reason;

(B) a reduction by the Company in your base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

(C) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any Plan (as hereinafter defined) in which you are participating at the time of the Change in Control (or Plans providing you with at least substantially similar benefits) other than as a result of the normal expiration of any such Plan in accordance with its terms as in effect at the time of the Change in Control, or the taking of any action, or the failure to act, by the Company which would adversely affect your continued participation in any of such Plans or replacement Plans on at least as favorable a basis to you as is the case on the date of the Change in Control or which would materially reduce your benefits in the future under any of such Plans or replacement Plans or deprive you of any material benefit enjoyed by you at the time of the Change in Control without, in each case, the replacement of substantially equivalent benefits;

(D) the failure by the Company to provide and credit you with the number of paid vacation days to which you are then entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

(E) the Company’s requiring you to be based anywhere more than 50 miles from where your office is located immediately prior to the Change in Control except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which you undertook on behalf of the Company prior to the Change in Control; or

(F) the failure by the Company to obtain from any Successor the assent to this Agreement contemplated by Section 6 hereof.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Plan” shall mean any compensation plan such as an incentive, stock option or restricted stock plan or any employee benefit plan such as a thrift, pension, profit sharing, medical, disability, accident, life insurance plan or a relocation plan or policy or any other plan, program or policy of the Company intended to benefit employees.

Termination shall not be for Good Reason unless you have notified the Board in writing within 90 days of the initial occurrence of the event or condition that constitutes Good Reason and no remedy is effected within 30 days and you terminate employment, if at all, within 90 days following the end of such 30 day period.

(v) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company or by you following a Change in Control shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated.

(vi) Date of Termination. ”Date of Termination” following a Change in Control shall mean (a) if your employment is to be terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the performance of your duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period), (b) if your employment is to be terminated by the Company for Cause, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (c) if your employment is to be terminated by you or by the Company for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall be a date no earlier than thirty (30) days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, unless an earlier date has been agreed to by the party receiving the Notice of Termination either in advance of, or after, receiving such Notice of Termination.

5. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability Following Change in Control.

(i) Disability. During any period following a Change in Control that you fail to perform your duties as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness that causes you to be unable to perform the duties of your position or any substantially similar position, you shall continue to receive your full base salary at the rate then in effect and any benefits or awards under any Plans shall continue to accrue during such period, to the extent not inconsistent with such Plans, until your employment is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 4(i) and

4(vi). Thereafter, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Plans then in effect.

(ii) Termination for Cause. If your employment shall be terminated for Cause following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay you your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given plus any benefits or awards (including both the cash and stock components) which pursuant to the terms of any Plans have been earned or become payable, but which have not yet been paid to you. Thereupon the Company shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement.

(iii) Other Termination. If, within twenty four (24) months after a Change in Control shall have occurred your employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause, Disability or Retirement or (b) by you for Good Reason based on an event occurring concurrent with or subsequent to a Change in Control, then, by no later than the tenth day following your execution and non-revocation of the release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A within 30 days of the Date of Termination (except as otherwise provided), you shall be entitled, without regard to any contrary provisions of any Plan, to a severance benefit (the “Severance Benefit”). The Severance Benefit shall consist of the Specified Benefits unless you would receive a greater after-tax benefit from the Capped Benefit, in which case the Severance Benefit shall be the Capped Benefit. The Capped Benefit is the Specified Benefits, reduced by the amount necessary to prevent any portion of the Specified Benefits from being “parachute payments” as defined in section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), or any successor provision. For purposes of determining whether you would receive a greater after-tax benefit from the Capped Benefit than from the Specified Benefits, there shall be taken into account all payments and benefits you will receive upon a Change in Control, including accelerated vesting of options, restricted stock and other awards under the Company’s stock option and stock incentive plans (collectively, excluding the Severance Benefit, the “Change of Control Payments”). To determine whether your after-tax benefit from the Capped Benefit would be greater than your after-tax benefit from the Specified Benefits, there shall be subtracted from the sum of the before-tax Severance Benefit and the Change of Control Payments (including the monetary value of any non-cash benefits) any excise tax that would be imposed under IRC § 4999 and all federal, state and local taxes required to be paid by you in respect of the receipt of such payments, assuming that such payments would be taxed at the highest marginal rate applicable to individuals in the year in which the Severance Benefit is to be paid or such lower rate as you advise the Company in writing is applicable to you, and there shall be subtracted from the before-tax Capped Benefit all federal, state and local taxes required to be paid by you in respect of the receipt of such payments, assuming that such payments would be taxed at the highest marginal rate applicable to individuals in the year in which the Severance Benefit is to be paid or such lower rate as you advise the Company in writing is applicable to you. The Specified Benefits are as follows:

(A) The Company shall pay your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given.

(B) As severance pay and in lieu of any further salary for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to you in a single payment an amount in cash equal: (i) three times your annual base pay at the rate in effect immediately prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given to you and (ii) three times your targeted bonus under the Annual Performance Incentive Plan (APIP) for the fiscal year in which you are given a Notice of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(iii), in the event that the you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the IRC (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Date of Termination) (a “Specified Employee”), amounts that would otherwise be payable under this Section 5(iii)(B) during the six-month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall instead be paid to you on the first business day after the date that is six months following your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the IRC (the “409A Payment Date”).

(C) For a 24-month period after the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide you and your dependents with medical and dental insurance benefits substantially similar to those you and your dependents were receiving immediately prior to the Change in Control and with the same employee contribution rate towards the premium applicable at the Date of Termination or at the date of the Change in Control, if greater. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide any benefit otherwise receivable by you pursuant to this paragraph (C) to the extent that a similar benefit is actually received by you from a subsequent employer during such 24-month period, and any such benefit actually received by you shall be reported to the Company. The benefits provided pursuant to this Section 5(iii)(C) that are not non-taxable medical benefits, “disability pay” or “death benefit” plans within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) shall be treated as follows: (x) the amount of such benefits provided during one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits provided in any other taxable year, except that to the extent such benefits consist of the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the IRC, a limitation may be imposed on the amount of such reimbursements over some or all of the Benefit Continuation Period, as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(iv)(B), (y) to the extent that any such benefits consist of reimbursement of eligible expenses, such reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred and (z) no such benefit may be liquidated or exchanged for another benefit.

(D) Notwithstanding any vesting limitation described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October , 2007, by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”),

the corporation defined in the Merger Agreement as Purchaser, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company, relating to your Rollover Company Stock Options, your Rollover Company RSUs and your Rollover Company Restricted Shares (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), you shall vest as of the Date of Termination in:

(i) your Rollover Company Stock Options with a pre-tax aggregate spread (as of the Date of Termination) equal to the excess, if any, of

(x) the Spread (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of all your Rollover Company Stock Options at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) over

(y) the aggregate spread (as of the earlier of the date of exercise, if any, or the Date of Termination) of each of your Rollover Company Stock Options that has vested since the Effective Time, if any;

(ii) your Rollover Company RSUs with an aggregate pre-tax value equal to the excess, if any, of

(x) five-sixths (5/6) of the total value of your Rollover Company RSUs at the Effective Time (determined by multiplying the Merger Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) times the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) issuable with respect to each such Rollover Company RSU) over

(y) the aggregate pre-tax value (as of the date of vesting) of your Rollover Company RSUs that have vested since the Effective Time, if any; and

(iii) your Rollover Company Restricted Shares with an aggregate pre-tax value equal to the excess, if any, of

(x) five-sixth (5/6) of the total value of your Rollover Company Restricted Shares at the Effective Time (determined by multiplying the Merger Price times the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to each such Rollover Company Restricted Share) over

(y) the aggregate pre-tax value (as of the date of vesting) of your Rollover Company Restricted Shares that have vested since the Effective Time, if any.

Any of your unvested Rollover Company Stock Options, Rollover Company RSUs and Rollover Company Restricted Shares that do not vest pursuant to clauses 5(iii)(D)(i), 5(iii)(D)(ii) and 5(iii)(D)(iii) above shall be forfeited as of the Date of Termination. For purposes of this Section 5(iii)(D) (other than clause (i)(x)), the “spread” of each Rollover Company Stock Option shall equal the excess, if any, of the value of the Parent Common Stock underlying the option as of the earlier of the date of exercise, if any, or the Date of Termination over the exercise price of the option. In determining which of your Rollover Company Stock Options

vest pursuant to this Section 5(iii)(D), your Rollover Company Stock Options that otherwise would have a shorter remaining vesting period shall vest before those with a longer remaining vesting period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(iii), in the event that the you are a Specified Employee, amounts that would otherwise be payable to you under this Section 5(iii)(D) with respect to your Rollover Company RSUs during the six-month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall instead be paid to you on the 409A Payment Date.

(E) The Company shall pay you for any vacation time earned but not taken at the Date of Termination, at an hourly rate equal to your annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given divided by 2080.

(F) Except as specifically provided above, the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise. Your entitlements under subparagraph (5)(iii) are (1) in lieu of any rights, benefits or entitlements you may have for other severance or separation pay or benefits (including under any severance agreement that you may be party to with the Company or an affiliate thereof) or under the Company’s severance pay plan and (2) except as provided in clause (1) above, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights, benefits or entitlements you may have under the terms or provisions of any Plan.

6. Successors; Binding Agreement.

(i) Upon your written request, the Company will seek to have any Successor, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to you, assent to the fulfillment by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Successor” shall mean any Person that succeeds to, or has the practical ability to control (either immediately or with the passage of time), the Company’s business directly, by merger or consolidation, or indirectly, by purchase of the Company’s Voting Securities or otherwise; provided, that if the Company enters into a merger and is the surviving entity in any merger, you shall not have the right to require the Company to obtain any assent under this Section 6(i).

(ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder if you had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to your estate.

You further agree to the terms of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, which are incorporated herein by reference as if a part of this Agreement and acknowledge that you have entered into such Restrictive Covenant Agreement at the time of your entry into this Agreement and further acknowledge and agrees that you will enter into an amendment to such Restrictive Covenant Agreement, which will modify the non-solicitation covenants contained therein, on the first business day after January 1, 2008.

8. Survival. The respective obligations of, and benefits afforded to, the Company and you as provided in Sections 5, 6(ii), 7 and 12 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or, in the case of the undersigned employee, to the address set forth below his signature, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company, with a copy to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

10. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by you and the Company as authorized by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

12. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Portland, Oregon pursuant to the then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS), before one neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with such rules.

with this Agreement. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit either party’s right to seek injunctive relief with any court of appropriate jurisdiction with respect to any breach of obligation(s) hereunder.

13. Related Agreements.
