  And
Chief Executive Officer

Tektronix, Inc.

 

Re:                     Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement

 

Dear
Mr. Wills:

 

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 

 

2

 

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 

 

3

 

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;

 

4

 

(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 

 

5

 

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:

 

6

 

(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

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 Danaher Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (“Parent”), 

 

7

 

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 

 

8

 

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”

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.

EXHIBIT A

[Date]

 

[Name]

[Address]

 

Dear
         :

 

In connection
with the termination of your employment with Tektronix, Inc. or its successor
in interest (the “Company”) on [insert termination date] and
pursuant to the October    , 2007 letter agreement by and
between you and Tektronix, Inc. regarding Change of Control Severance
Protection (“October 2007 Agreement”) to which this letter agreement is
attached as Exhibit A, you are eligible to receive the severance benefits set
forth in the October 2007 Agreement provided you sign and return this letter
agreement to [insert name] by [insert return date 22 days after receipt of this letter agreement].
By signing and returning this letter agreement, you will be entering into a
binding agreement with the Company and will be agreeing to the terms and
conditions set forth in the numbered paragraphs below, including the release of
claims set forth in Section 3. Therefore, you are advised to consult with your
attorney before signing this letter agreement and you may take up to twenty-one
(21) days to do so. If you sign this letter agreement, you may change your mind
and revoke your agreement during the seven (7) day period after you have signed
it. This revocation must be in writing and delivered to [insert name] before the close of business
on the seventh (7th) day. If you do not so revoke, this letter agreement will
become a binding agreement between the Company and you upon the expiration of
the seven (7) day revocation period.

 

If you choose
not to sign and return this letter agreement by [insert
return date], you shall not receive any severance benefits from the
Company. You will, however, receive payment on [your
termination date or other date as required by state law] for any
wages and unused, accrued
vacation through the termination date as required by applicable law. Also,
regardless of signing this letter agreement, you may elect to continue
receiving group medical insurance pursuant to the federal “COBRA” law, 29
U.S.C. § 1161 et  seq. All premium costs shall be paid by you
on a monthly basis for as long as, and to the extent that, you remain eligible
for COBRA continuation coverage. You should consult the COBRA materials to be
provided by the Company for details regarding COBRA continuation benefits. All
other benefits, [including life insurance and long-term
disability insurance], will cease upon your termination date in
accordance with the plan documents.

 

Further, any
stock rights you may have shall be governed by the terms of the applicable
Stock Plan.

 

If, after
reviewing this letter agreement with your attorney, you find that the terms and
conditions are satisfactory to you, you must sign and return this letter
agreement to [insert name] by [insert return date].

 

The following
numbered paragraphs set forth the terms and conditions that will apply if you

Associate does not have the right to use or disclose and that the Company and
its affiliates are not free to use without liability of any kind. The Associate
agrees to inform the Company promptly in writing of any patents, copyrights,
trademarks, or other proprietary or intellectual property rights known to the

business documents the Associate keeps or creates, whether on digital media or

information not generally known outside the Company and its affiliates that may
be of value to the Company or any of its affiliates, but excludes any
information already properly in the public domain. “Confidential Information”

19

 

includes,
without limitation, confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets
that third parties entrust to the Company or any of its affiliates in
confidence.

 

(e)           The Associate understands and agrees
that the rights and obligations set forth in this Nondisclosure section will continue indefinitely and will survive
termination of the Associate’s employment with the Company.

 

4.             Enforceability. It is the
intention of the parties that the provisions of the restrictive covenants
herein shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable
law, but the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such law) of any
provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the
remainder thereof. If any provision or provisions hereof shall be deemed
invalid or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be
deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the offending provision or
provisions and to alter the bounds thereof in order to render it valid and
enforceable.

Associate acknowledges and agrees that damages are an inadequate remedy for any
breach of the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 10 of this
Agreement and agrees that in the event of a breach of such paragraphs, the
Company may, with or without pursuing any remedy for damages, immediately
obtain and enforce an ex parte, preliminary and permanent injunction
prohibiting the Associate from violating this policy. Further, in any civil
action brought for a breach of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to
recover from the Associate all reasonable attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses,
and costs incurred by the Company if the Company prevails in that action.

 

6.             Consideration. The Associate
acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is supported by his or her
employment by the Company and by the Company’s covenants as set forth in the
October     , 2007 letter agreement by and between you and
the Company regarding Change of Control Severance Protection. The Associate
further agrees that such consideration is fair, reasonable and enforceable to
its full extent; that the Associate was given adequate time to consider this
Agreement; that the Company has an important and legitimate business interest
that it is seeking to protect with this Agreement; and that enforcement of this
Agreement would not interfere with the interests of the public.

 

7.             Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive
laws of the State of Oregon without regard for the choice of law provisions
thereof.

 

8.             Amendment
and Waiver; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall not be amended except by
a written instrument hereafter signed by the Company and the Associate. The
failure of the Company to enforce, or delay in enforcing, any term of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or deprive the Company of
the right to insist thereafter upon strict adherence to that or any other term
of this Agreement, nor shall a waiver of any breach of this Agreement
constitute a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver of a right
under any provision of this Agreement shall be binding on the Company unless
made in writing and signed by the President of the Company. This Agreement
contains the entire understanding of Tektronix and the Associate relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof between the Associate on
the one hand and Tektronix and/or any current or former subsidiary of Tektronix
on the other hand, including without limitation any similar agreement entered
into prior to the date hereof 

 

20

 

between
the Associate on the one hand and Tektronix and/or any current or former
subsidiary of Tektronix on the other hand.

Agreement shall be binding upon the Associate and his/her heirs, successors,
assigns and personal representatives, and inure to the benefit of the Company,
its successors and its assigns. The Associate may not assign any rights or
duties under this Agreement; the Company may assign any or all of its rights
and/or duties herein to any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company. The term
“affiliate,” when used herein, shall not include any officers or directors of
the Company.

 

10.           Nondisparagement.
The Associate agrees that except as required under the law, the Associate will
refrain from making derogatory or disparaging written or oral comments
regarding the Company, any of its affiliates or any of their respective
products, services or personnel.

 

11.           Acknowledgment of Understanding;
Livelihood. The Associate acknowledges that s/he has read this Agreement in
its entirety and understands all of its terms and conditions, that s/he has had
the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of his/her choice regarding
his/her agreement to the provisions contained herein, that s/he is entering
into this Agreement of his/her own free will, without coercion from any source,
and that s/he agrees to abide by all of the terms and conditions herein
contained. The Associate further acknowledges that in consideration of the
Associate’s right to terminate his/her employment with the Company at any time
for any reason, Associate agrees that s/he is employed by the Company on an at-will
basis. Nothing contained in this Agreement or elsewhere shall be construed as
