without limitation, the provisions of Article VII hereof), on any Advance Notice
Date the Company may  request an Advance by the  Investor by the  delivery of an
Advance  Notice.  The number of shares of Common Stock that the  Investor  shall

     (b) Date of Delivery of Advance  Notice.  An Advance Notice shall be deemed
delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received by facsimile or otherwise by the
Investor if such notice is received  prior to 12:00 noon Eastern  Time,  or (ii)
the  immediately  succeeding  Trading  Day if it is  received  by  facsimile  or
otherwise after 12:00 noon Eastern Time on a Trading Day or at any time on a day
which is not a Trading Day. No Advance  Notice may be deemed  delivered on a day
that is not a Trading Day.

     (c)  Pre-Closing  Share  Credit.  Within  two (2)  business  days after the
Advance  Notice Date,  the Company shall credit  shares of the Company's  Common
Stock to the Investor's  counsel's  balance  account with The  Depository  Trust
Company through its Deposit  Withdrawal At Custodian  system, in an amount equal
to the amount of the requested  Advance  divided by the closing Bid Price of the
Company's Common Stock as of the Advance Notice Date multiplied by one point one
(1.1).  Any  adjustments to the number of shares to be delivered to the Investor
at the  Closing  as a result of  fluctuations  in the  closing  Bid Price of the
Company's  Common Stock shall be made as of the date of the Closing.  Any excess
shares  shall be credited to the next  Advance.  In no event shall the number of
shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the Investor to own
in excess of nine and 9/10 percent (9.9%) of the then  outstanding  Common Stock
of the Company.

     (d) Hardship.  In the event the Investor  sells the Company's  Common Stock
pursuant  to  subsection  (c)  above  and  the  Company  fails  to  perform  its
obligations  as mandated in Section 2.5 and 2.2 (c), and  specifically  fails to
provide the Investor with the shares of Common Stock for the applicable Advance,
the Company  acknowledges that the Investor shall suffer financial  hardship and
therefore  shall  be  liable  for any  and all  losses,  commissions,  fees,  or
financial hardship caused to the Investor.

     Section 2.3. Closings. On each Advance Date, which shall be the first (1st)
Trading Day after expiration of the applicable  Pricing Period for each Advance,
(i) the Company shall deliver to the Investor's  Counsel, as defined pursuant to
the Escrow  Agreement,  shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  representing the
amount of the Advance by the Investor pursuant to Section 2.1 herein, registered
in the  name of the  Investor  which  shall be  delivered  to the  Investor,  or
otherwise in accordance  with the Escrow  Agreement and (ii) the Investor  shall
deliver to Butler  Gonzalez LLP (the  "Escrow  Agent") the amount of the Advance
specified in the Advance Notice by wire transfer of immediately  available funds
which shall be  delivered to the Company,  or otherwise in  accordance  with the
Escrow  Agreement.  In addition,  on or prior to the Advance  Date,  each of the
Company and the  Investor  shall  deliver to the other  through  the  Investor's
Counsel,  all documents,  instruments  and writings  required to be delivered by
either of them  pursuant to this  Agreement in order to implement and effect the
transactions  contemplated herein.  Payment of funds to the Company and delivery
of the Company's Common Stock to the Investor shall occur in accordance with the
conditions  set  forth  above  and  those  contained  in the  Escrow  Agreement;
provided,  however,  that to the  extent  the  Company  has not paid  the  fees,
expenses,  and  disbursements  of  the  Investor,  the  Investor's  counsel,  or
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart,  LLP in accordance with Section 12.4, the amount of such
fees, expenses,  and disbursements may be deducted by the Investor (and shall be
paid to the relevant  party) from the amount of the Advance with no reduction in
the  amount of shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock to be  delivered  on such
Advance Date.

occurred)  in the event that (i) there shall occur any stop order or  suspension
of the  effectiveness  of the  Registration  Statement for an aggregate of fifty
(50)  Trading  Days,  other  than due to the acts of the  Investor,  during  the

requires no other  proceedings on the part of the Investor.  The undersigned has
the right,  power and  authority to execute and deliver this  Agreement  and all
other  instruments  (including,  without  limitations,  the Registration  Rights
Agreement), on behalf of the Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Investor and,  assuming the  execution and delivery  hereof and
acceptance thereof by the Company,  will constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms.

     Section 3.2.  Evaluation  of Risks.  The Investor  has such  knowledge  and
experience in financial tax and business  matters as to be capable of evaluating

this  transaction.  It recognizes that its investment in the Company  involves a
high degree of risk.

     Section 3.3. No Legal Advice From the  Company.  The Investor  acknowledges

conducted by such Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall
modify,  amend  or  affect  the  Investor's  right  to  rely  on  the  Company's
representations  and  warranties  contained  in  this  Agreement.  The  Investor
understands that its investment  involves a high degree of risk. The Investor is
in a position  regarding  the  Company,  which,  based upon  employment,  family
relationship or economic bargaining power,  enabled and enables such Investor to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
this investment. The Investor has sought such accounting,  legal and tax advice,
as it has  considered  necessary to make an informed  investment  decision  with

estimate and shall in no way  obligate the Company to raise such amount,  or any
amount,  or otherwise limit its ability to deliver Advance Notices.  The failure

expectations with respect to the current calendar quarter.

waiver by the Company, at or before each such Closing, of each of the conditions
set forth below. (a) Accuracy of the Investor's  Representations and Warranties.
The  representations and warranties of the Investor shall be true and correct in
all material respects.  (b) Performance by the Investor. The Investor shall have
performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with all covenants, agreements
and conditions  required by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
to be performed,  satisfied or complied with by the Investor at or prior to such
Closing.

     Section 7.2. Conditions Precedent to the Right of the Company to Deliver an
Advance Notice and the  Obligation of the Investor to Purchase  Shares of Common
Stock.  The right of the Company to deliver an Advance Notice and the obligation
of the Investor  hereunder to acquire and pay for shares of the Company's Common
Stock incident to a Closing is subject to the fulfillment by the Company, on (i)
the date of delivery of such Advance Notice and (ii) the applicable Advance Date
(each a "Condition Satisfaction Date"), of each of the following conditions:

     (a)  Registration  of the Common Stock with the SEC. The Company shall have
filed with the SEC a  Registration  Statement  with respect to the resale of the
Registrable  Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration  Rights
Agreement.  As set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,  the Registration
Statement shall have previously  become  effective and shall remain effective on
each  Condition  Satisfaction  Date and (i) neither the Company nor the Investor
shall have  received  notice  that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop
order with respect to the  Registration  Statement or that the SEC otherwise has
suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration  Statement,  either
temporarily  or  permanently,  or intends or has threatened to do so (unless the
SEC's concerns have been addressed and the Investor is reasonably satisfied that

                                       18
<PAGE>

the SEC no longer is  considering  or intends to take such action),  and (ii) no
other  suspension  of  the  use  or  withdrawal  of  the  effectiveness  of  the
Registration  Statement  or related  prospectus  shall exist.  The  Registration
Statement  must  have  been  declared  effective  by the SEC  prior to the first
Advance Notice Date.

     (b)   Authority.   The  Company   shall  have   obtained  all  permits  and
qualifications   required  by  any  applicable  state  in  accordance  with  the
Registration  Rights  Agreement  for the offer and sale of the  shares of Common
Stock,  or shall have the  availability  of exemptions  therefrom.  The sale and
issuance of the shares of Common  Stock shall be legally  permitted  by all laws
and regulations to which the Company is subject.

     (c) Fundamental  Changes.  There shall not exist any fundamental changes to
the information set forth in the Registration  Statement which would require the
Company to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.

     (d) Performance by the Company. The Company shall have performed, satisfied
and  complied  in all  material  respects  with all  covenants,  agreements  and
conditions  required  by this  Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  the
conditions  specified  in  Section  2.5  hereof)  and  the  Registration  Rights
Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior
to each Condition Satisfaction Date.

     (e) No Injunction.  No statute, rule, regulation,  executive order, decree,
ruling or injunction shall have been enacted,  entered,  promulgated or endorsed
by any court or governmental  authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits
or directly and adversely  affects any of the transactions  contemplated by this
Agreement,  and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect
of prohibiting or adversely  affecting any of the  transactions  contemplated by
this Agreement.

     (f) No Suspension  of Trading in or Delisting of Common Stock.  The trading
of the Common Stock is not suspended by the SEC or the Principal  Market (if the
Common Stock is traded on a Principal Market).  The issuance of shares of Common
Stock with  respect to the  applicable  Closing,  if any,  shall not violate the
shareholder  approval  requirements of the Principal Market (if the Common Stock
is traded on a Principal Market). The Company shall not have received any notice
threatening  the continued  listing of the Common Stock on the Principal  Market
(if the Common Stock is traded on a Principal Market).

     (g)  Maximum  Advance  Amount.  The amount of an Advance  requested  by the
Company shall not exceed the Maximum  Advance Amount.  In addition,  in no event
shall the number of shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause
the  Investor  to own in  excess  of nine and 9/10  percent  (9.9%)  of the then
outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

     (h) No Knowledge.  The Company has no knowledge of any event which would be
more likely than not to have the effect of causing such  Registration  Statement
to be suspended or otherwise ineffective.

     (i) Other.  On each  Condition  Satisfaction  Date, the Investor shall have
received  the  certificate  executed by an officer of the Company in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto.

         Due Diligence Review; Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information

     Section 8.1. Due Diligence Review.  Prior to the filing of the Registration
Statement the Company  shall make  available  for  inspection  and review by the
Investor, its advisors and representatives, and any underwriter participating in
any disposition of the Registrable Securities on behalf of the Investor pursuant
to the Registration  Statement,  any such registration statement or amendment or
supplement  thereto or any blue sky,  NASD or other  filing,  all  financial and
other  records,  all SEC Documents and other filings with the SEC, and all other
corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary
for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company's officers,  directors and
employees to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investor or
any  such  representative,  advisor  or  underwriter  in  connection  with  such
Registration  Statement  (including,  without  limitation,  in  response  to all
questions  and other  inquiries  reasonably  made or  submitted by any of them),
prior to and  from  time to time  after  the  filing  and  effectiveness  of the
Registration  Statement  for the sole  purpose of enabling the Investor and such
representatives,  advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and
attorneys  to conduct  initial  and ongoing due  diligence  with  respect to the
Company and the accuracy of the Registration Statement.

Section 8.2.    Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information.

     (a) The Company shall not disclose non-public  information to the Investor,
its  advisors,  or its  representatives,  unless  prior  to  disclosure  of such
information  the  Company   identifies  such  information  as  being  non-public
information and provides the Investor,  such advisors and  representatives  with
the  opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such  non-public  information for
review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing any non-public information
hereunder,  require the Investor's  advisors and representatives to enter into a
confidentiality agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Investor.

     (b)  Nothing  herein  shall  require  the  Company to  disclose  non-public
information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives,  and the Company
represents that it does not disseminate  non-public information to any investors
who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering,  to money managers or to
securities analysts,  provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided,  immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any,  underwriters,  of any
event or the existence of any  circumstance  (without any obligation to disclose
the specific  event or  circumstance)  of which it becomes  aware,  constituting
non-public  information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally  during  the course of due  diligence  by such  persons or  entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement
would  cause such  prospectus  to include a material  misstatement  or to omit a
material  fact  required to be stated  therein in order to make the  statements,
therein,  in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Nothing  contained  in this  Section  8.2 shall be  construed  to mean that such
persons or entities other than the Investor  (without the written consent of the
Investor  prior to  disclosure of such  information)  may not obtain non- public
information  in the course of conducting  due  diligence in accordance  with the
terms of this  Agreement  and nothing  herein shall  prevent any such persons or

                                       20
<PAGE>

entities  from  notifying  the Company of their  opinion  that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities,  that the Registration Statement contains
an untrue  statement of material  fact or omits a material  fact  required to be
stated  in the  Registration  Statement  or  necessary  to make  the  statements
contained  therein,  in light of the  circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.

                                  ARTICLE IX.
                           Choice of Law/Jurisdiction

     Section  9.1.  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  governed  by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of _________ without regard
to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any action
between them shall be heard in Hudson County,  New Jersey, and expressly consent
to the  jurisdiction  and venue of the Superior Court of New Jersey,  sitting in
Hudson  County,  New Jersey and the United States  District Court of New Jersey,
sitting in Newark, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any civil action asserted
pursuant to this paragraph.

25RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

                This Agreement is made and entered into as of the ___rd day of
______ 2005 by and between Tektronix, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the
"Company") and ______________________________ (the "Employee").

                                    RECITALS

                A.      In order to attract and retain as employees people of
initiative and ability, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has
adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan").

                B.      Under the Incentive Plan, the Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") may make restricted stock
grants of the Company's common stock (the "Common Shares") subject to terms,
conditions, and restrictions determined by the Committee.

                C.      The Committee considers it in the Company's best
interest to award Employee a restricted stock grant to enhance the Company's
ability to retain Employee's services and to provide an additional incentive for
Employee to exert the Employee's best efforts on behalf of the Company.

                D.      Employee accepts the restricted stock award on the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the Incentive Plan.

                                    AGREEMENT

                1.      Award of Restricted Stock. Pursuant to Section 8 of the
Incentive Plan, the Committee hereby awards to Employee ________ shares of the
Company's fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares as a restricted stock grant
(the "Restricted Stock"). All of the Restricted Stock is subject to the length
of service restrictions set forth in Section 2.

                2.      Length of Service Restrictions. All of the Restricted
Stock shall initially be subject to forfeiture to the Company. All of the
Restricted Stock shall be automatically forfeited to the Company if Employee's
employment by the Company terminates for any reason whatsoever, including
termination with or without cause, or retirement, prior to ______________.
Subject to satisfaction of this length of service condition, on such date,
one-half of the shares of Restricted Stock shall be released from the forfeiture
restriction. The remaining one-half of the shares of Restricted Stock shall
remain subject to length of service restrictions and shall be automatically
forfeited to the Company if Employee's employment by the Company terminates for
any reason whatsoever, including termination with or without cause, or
retirement prior to ____________. For purposes of this Agreement, a person is
considered to be employed by the Company if the person is employed by any entity
that is either the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the possibility of forfeiture of the Restricted
Stock established above shall lapse in its entirety in the event Employee's
employment terminates because of the death of Employee or physical disability
preventing Employee from performing regular duties.

                3.      Certain Transactions. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement, 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, by action of the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion and
to the extent possible under the structure of the Transaction, select one of the
following alternatives for treating the Restricted Stock:

                (i)     The Restricted Stock shall remain in effect in
        accordance with its terms.

                (ii)    The Restricted Stock, to the extent then still subject
        to the length of service forfeiture restrictions, shall be forfeited to
        the Company at the closing of the Transaction.

<PAGE>

                (ii)    The Restricted Stock shall be converted into restricted
        stock of one or more of the corporations that are the surviving or
        acquiring corporations in the Transaction. The amount and type of
        converted restricted stock 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, by action of the Board of Directors, the converted restricted
        stock shall continue to be subject to the forfeiture provisions
        applicable to the Restricted Stock at the time of the Transaction.

                4.      Share Certificates and Dividends; No Transfers.
Certificates for Restricted Stock shall be issued as soon as practicable after
the effective date of this Agreement and shall be issued in the name of the
Employee. In order to facilitate the cancellation of Restricted Stock upon
forfeiture, Employee shall execute a stock power upon request, endorsed in
blank, covering all Restricted Stock and deliver it to the Company. Certificates
and corresponding stock powers shall be held by the Company or its designee
until the possibility of forfeiture has lapsed. Upon the lapse of forfeiture
restrictions with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Stock,
certificates representing such shares shall be delivered to the registered owner
as soon as practicable. If forfeiture occurs, the certificates covering the
forfeited shares shall be promptly cancelled by the Company. While the
certificates are held by the Company or its designee, Employee will be entitled
to receive cash dividends declared on the Restricted Stock, if any, and will be
able to exercise voting and other shareholder rights. Certificates for any stock
dividends shall also be held in accordance with this Section. If forfeiture
occurs, Employee shall have no right to receive retained stock dividends with
respect to Restricted Stock that is forfeited. No interest in any Restricted
Stock may be transferred voluntarily or by operation of law until the
possibility of forfeiture lapses. The registered owner to whom a certificate is
delivered pursuant to this Section shall be Employee, unless Employee is not
living, in which case the owner shall be the person or persons establishing
rights of ownership by will or under the laws of descent and distribution.

                5.      Taxes. Employee acknowledges that any income recognized
as a result of receiving the Restricted Stock will be treated as ordinary
compensation income subject to federal, state and local income, employment and
other tax withholding. Employee understands that if he or she makes an election
under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a "Section
83(b) Election"), with respect to some or all of the Restricted Stock, Employee
will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time such Restricted Stock is
received, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Restricted Stock on
that date. If Employee does not make a Section 83(b) Election with respect to
some or all of the Restricted Stock, Employee will recognize ordinary
compensation income at the time any portion of such Restricted Stock vests in
accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, in an amount equal to the fair
market value of those Restricted Stock on the vesting date. Within 10 days after
notification by Company, and prior to or concurrently with the delivery of the
certificates representing the Restricted Stock, Employee shall pay to Company
the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax
withholding requirements arising in connection with Employee's receipt of the
Restricted Stock, including any amounts required to be withheld at the time any
portion of the Restricted Stock vests in accordance with Section 2 of this
Agreement. Employee shall pay such amounts in cash or, at the election of the
Employee, by surrendering to Company for cancellation Restricted Stock or other
shares of Company Common Stock held for at least six months valued at the
closing market price for the Company Common Stock on the last trading day
preceding the date of Employee's election to surrender such shares. If
additional withholding becomes required beyond any amount paid before delivery
of the certificates representing the Restricted Stock, Employee shall pay such
amount to Company upon demand. If shareholder fails to pay any amount demanded,
Company shall have the right to withhold such amount from other amounts payable
by Company to the Employee, including salary, subject to applicable law.
Employee understands that to be valid, a Section 83(b) election must be filed
with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the date the ownership of
the Restricted Stock is transferred to Employee, a copy of the election must be
provided to Company, and a copy of the election must be attached to the
Employee's federal (and possibly state) income tax return for the year of the
election. Employee acknowledges that if he or she chooses to file a Section
83(b) election, it is Employee's sole responsibility, and not Company's, to make
a valid and timely election. Employee is encouraged to consult his or her tax
advisor regarding the advisability of, and procedure for, making a Section 83(b)
election with respect to some or all of the Restricted Stock.

                6.      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 6.

                7.      Additional Common Shares of the Company. If, during the
period when any of the Restricted Stock is subject to the possibility of
forfeiture, the outstanding Common Shares are hereafter increased as a result of
a stock dividend or stock split, the restrictions and other provisions of this
Agreement shall apply to any such additional shares which are issued in respect
of any Restricted Stock to the same extent as such restrictions and other
provisions apply to such Restricted Stock.

                8.      Restrictive Legend. Certificates for shares issued under
this Agreement may bear the following legend:

                "The shares represented by this certificate are subject to
                a Restricted Stock Agreement between the registered owner
                and Tektronix, Inc. materially restricting the
                transferability of the shares. A copy of the agreement is
                on file with the Secretary of Tektronix, Inc."

                9.      Not a Contract of Employment. This Agreement shall
not be construed as a contract of employment between the Company and
Employee and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Incentive Plan
shall confer upon Employee any right to be continued in the employment of
the Company or any subsidiary or to interfere in any way with the right of
the Company or any subsidiary by whom Employee is employed to terminate the
Employee's employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or
to decrease Employee's compensation or benefits.

                10.     Electronic Delivery. Employee consents to the
electronic delivery of any prospectus and any other documents relating to
this award in lieu of mailing or other form of delivery.
