BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have
been prepared by the Company without audit.  Certain information and
footnote   disclosures  normally  included   in   annual   financial
statements,   prepared   in  accordance  with   generally   accepted
accounting  principles, have been condensed or omitted.   Management
believes   that  the  condensed  statements  include  all  necessary
adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature, except  for
the  adjustment to deferred tax assets described below under 'Income
Taxes')  and are adequate to present financial position, results  of
operations  and cash flows for the interim periods.   The  condensed
information  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial
statements  and  notes incorporated by reference  in  the  Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K.

INVESTMENTS

     At the beginning of the year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115,
'Accounting  for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities'.
SFAS  No.  115  supersedes  SFAS No.  12  which  generally  required
investments  in  marketable equity securities to be carried  at  the
lower  of  aggregate market or amortized cost.  Under SFAS No.  115,
the  Company  now  classifies  its minority  equity  investments  in
certain marketable securities as available-for-sale and reports them
at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.  The aggregate fair
value of these investments at August 27, 1994 was $23.5 million. The
unrealized gain of $19.0 million, net of the related deferred income
tax  effect of $7.6 million, is reported as a separate component  of
shareholders' equity.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

      In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company issued $100.0
million  of  7.5% Notes due August 1, 2003.  Proceeds were  used  to
repay  bridge  financing of $70.0 million and to reduce  short  term
revolving credit debt.

</TABLE>

      The  provision  for income taxes was calculated  at  estimated
annual  effective  rates  of  26% and  34%  ,respectively,  for  the
quarters  ended August 27, 1994 and August 28, 1993.  The  provision
for  the quarter ended August 28, 1993 was reduced by a gain of $2.3
million on recalculation of  deferred income tax benefits, primarily
as  a  result of the enactment of federal tax legislation increasing
the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%.

CONTINGENCIES

      The  Company has reported on certain claims asserted by Jerome
J.  Lemelson in Item 3., Legal Proceedings, of its Annual Report  on
Form  10-K  for  the  fiscal year ended May 28, 1994.   The  Company
believes  that ultimate resolution of these claims will not  have  a
material  adverse  effect on its financial position  or  results  of
operations.



ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  
                         Financial Condition

      The  Company's financial condition is strong.  Cash flow  from
operating activities and borrowing capacity from existing  lines  of
credit  are sufficient to meet current and anticipated future needs.
At  the  end  of  the first quarter (August 27, 1994),  the  Company
maintained bank credit facilities totaling $305.0 million, of  which
$283.0  million  was unused.  The unused facilities  include  $133.0
million  in  lines  of credit and $150.0 million under  a  revolving
credit agreement from United States and foreign banks.

                                       6
<PAGE>
      Current  assets decreased by $18.5 million,  due to reductions
in cash, accounts receivable and other current assets, partly offset
by an increase in inventories.  The Company historically experiences
a  lower weekly average sales rate in the first quarter compared  to
the  prior  year's fourth quarter, while production rates  are  more
constant;  consequently,  accounts  receivable  decreased  by  $21.5
million  and  inventories  increased by  $16.7  million  during  the
quarter.   Other  current  assets declined due  to  amortization  of
prepaid taxes and other expenses.
                                       
      Net property, plant and equipment declined by $15.4 million as
depreciation  and  dispositions, including the  divestiture  of  the
Circuit  Board Division,  exceeded new capital additions.  Long-term
deferred tax assets decreased by $8.1 million primarily due  to  the
tax   impact  from  recognition  of  unrealized  holding  gains   on
investments  under SFAS 115, 'Accounting for Certain  Investments in
Debt and  Equity  Securities', discussed  further below  under other 
long-term assets.
                                    
      Other  long-term assets increased by $39.7 million as a result
of the Company's investment in equity and notes of Merix Corporation
(formerly the Circuit Board Division) and the accounting for certain
investments  in  accordance  with  SFAS  115.    Under   SFAS   115,
investments  in  certain  marketable securities  are  classified  as
available  for  sale and reported at fair value.  The adjustment  to
fair  value  added $19.0 million to other long term assets  and  the
unrealized  gains, less deferred taxes, are reported  in  unrealized
holding gains as a separate component of shareholders' equity.   The
Company  accounts  for its investment  in Merix Corporation  on  the
equity  method  with  the  earnings impact  included  in  equity  in
business  ventures  net  losses in the  consolidated  statements  of
operations.

     Current liabilities declined by $23.8 million.  Short-term debt
increased  $6.4 million.  Accounts payable decreased $10.5  million,
and    accrued  compensation decreased $20.1  million,  due  to  the
timing of some trade payables and restructuring charges, the payment
of  year-end accruals for incentives and commissions, reductions  in
vacation  accruals  by  summer time off,  the  payment  of  employee
severance  charged against restructuring reserves and lower  accrual
requirements   because   of   the   disposition   of   non-strategic
businesses.

      Shareholders' equity increased by $24.5 million due  primarily
to  earnings net of dividends and the addition of unrealized holding
gains in accordance with SFAS 115.
                                
                        Restructuring Charges

      The  Company  continues its consolidation of   facilities  and
reduction  of workforce, as described in the 1994 Annual  Report  to
shareholders,  reducing restructuring reserves to approximately  $48
million at the end of the quarter.    The Company is also proceeding
with  the  discontinuance  of   older,  low-volume  products.    The
initial  public offering of Merix Corporation was completed  at  the
beginning  of  the   quarter and, at the end  of  the  quarter,  the
Company  sold  its  Avionics operations  to  Planar  Systems,  Inc.,
further reducing the non-strategic businesses it operates.

                   13 Weeks Ended August 28, 1993

      In  the first quarter of fiscal 1995, net earnings were  $16.0
million, or $0.53 per share compared with $9.7 million, or $0.32 per
share in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  The prior year's quarter
included  a  gain  of  $2.3  million or $0.07  per  share  from  the
recalculation of deferred tax benefits.

      Net  Sales  were $312.7 million,  up 8% from the  prior  year.
Sales  of Measurement Business, Color Printing and Imaging and Video
Systems  were  higher,  while  Network  Displays'  sales  were  down
slightly and Other sales, which include the non-strategic businesses
disposed  of at the end of last year and during the current quarter,
dropped sharply.

      Measurement Business sales of $154.1 million were up  8%  from
the prior year due to acceptance of new products and improvements in
European  and  Asian  markets.  Color  Printing  and  Imaging  sales
increased  38% to $89.5 million, continuing the strong growth  trend
in   both   domestic  and  international  markets.   Video   Systems  
sales  grew  13%  to  $42.8  million from generally improving market 
conditions and realization of licensing revenues.   Network Displays 
sales were flat, as strong  growth  in X terminal sales  was  offset  
by  the continued  decline in product and  service revenue  from the 
Company's old terminals business.

     Sales to customers in the United States increased slightly from
$168.4  million to $169.5 million, representing 54% of total  sales.
The  majority of the non-strategic operations sales, represented  by
the  Other  product class,  were in the United States, and if  these
sales  are  excluded from both years, United States sales  increased
by  13%.  International sales of  $143.2 million were  up  18%  from
$121.7  million in the prior year, with strong growth in  Japan  and
the rest of the Pacific, and good improvement over last year's first
quarter in Europe.

      Product orders of $294 million were 24% higher than the  prior
year's  first  quarter, when international orders were  particularly
weak.

     Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net sales from 53.2%
to  51.6%.   The improvement was due to a better geographic  mix  of
sales,   the  reduction of low margin component sales, and  improved
product  mix  in  each of the businesses, partially  offset  by  the
higher   cost  of  components  and  increasing  use  of  alternative
distribution  channels.  The Company continues  to  expect  cost  of
sales to trend higher as a percentage of sales as more products  are
sold  through alternative distribution channels and the historically
higher margin on international sales is reduced.

                                       8
<PAGE>      
      Research  and  development  (R&D)  and  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses were higher in dollar terms than  the  prior
year because of increased variable compensation due to the Company's
improved performance.  The increase in R&D was also due to increased
spending on major product development efforts.

       Other  expenses declined due primarily to gains on  sales  of
stock in Credence Systems Corporation.

     Income taxes increased from $1.6 million to $5.6 million due to
higher  earnings before taxes in the current quarter and a  gain  in
the  prior year's first quarter of $2.3 million on recalculation  of
deferred  tax  benefits.  The Company's calculated effective  annual
tax  rate  is 26% compared to 34% in the first quarter of the  prior
year.

      Net  earnings of $16.0 million were 64% higher than the  prior
year  due  to higher sales and gross margins and lower non-operating
expenses,  partly offset by higher R&D and SG&A expenses and  higher
taxes.

          The Executive Severance Agreement dated September 22, 1993 is
amended as follows to reflect the Split Dollar Insurance Agreement between 
the parties dated as of October 6, 1993 (the Split Dollar Agreement).

     1.   Split Dollar Insurance Benefits.

          A new Section 4 is added as follows, existing Section 4 through 12
are renumbered 5 through 13 respectively, and cross-references are adjusted
accordingly:

          4.  Split Dollar Insurance Adjustments.  If Executive terminates
     employment voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason other than death
     before the Full Funding Date under 4.4 below, the following shall apply:

               4.1  Tektronix shall not, before the Full Funding
          Date, exercise its rights under the Split Dollar Agreement
          or the related Collateral Assignment to withdraw the cash
          surrender value of the Split Dollar Policy on termination of
          the Split Dollar Agreement because of Executive's termination 
          of employment before the Full Funding Date.

               4.2  Except as provided below, Tektronix shall pay executive 
          $77,987.22 as of each August 9 after the date of termination
          up to the Full Funding Date.  The last payment shall be made as of
          the Full Funding Date.  The amount for the last payment shall be
          pro-rated on a daily basis to the Full Funding Date.

               4.3  Tektronix shall take no action that would interfere 
          with Executive's payment of scheduled employee premiums
          under the Split Dollar Policy up to the Full Funding Date. 
          Executive shall have no obligation to pay such premiums. 
          Tektronix's obligation to pay under 4.2 above is not conditioned 
          upon Executive's payment of such premiums.

               4.4  "Full Funding Date" means date that the earliest
          of the following occurs:
<PAGE>
                    (a)  Executive dies.

                    (b)  Executive reaches age 64.

                    (c)  The policy lapses or Executive sur
               renders the policy to withdraw cash value or
               receive benefits, or both.

     2.   Conforming Amendment.

          Section 5.1 (to be renumbered 6.1) is revised by inserting "except
for benefits under Section 4" so the last phrase of the first sentence of
Section 5.1 will read as follows:

          * * *, the benefits provided in this Agreement shall not be
          payable to Executive except for benefits under Section 4.

     3.   Effective Date.

          This Amendment shall be effective as of October 6, 1993.

Tektronix, Inc.,
an Oregon corporation
P.O. Box 1000
Wilsonville, Oregon                                               Tektronix


Tektronix considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital 
management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of 
Tektronix and its shareholders.  In order to induce Executive to remain 
employed by Tektronix in the face of uncertainties about the long-term 
strategies of Tektronix and their potential impact on the scope and nature 
of Executive's position with Tektronix, this Agreement, which has been 
approved by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Tektronix, sets forth the severance benefits that Tektronix 
will provide to Executive in the event Executive's employment by Tektronix 
is terminated under the circumstances described in this Agreement.

1.   EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP.  Executive is currently employed by Tektronix 
as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  Executive and Tektronix acknowledge
that either party may terminate this employment relationship at any time and 
for any reason, subject to the obligation of Tektronix to provide the benefits 
specified in this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.   RELEASE OF CLAIMS.  In consideration for the severance benefits outlined 
in this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a Release of Claims in the 
form attached as Exhibit A ("Release of Claims").  Executive promises to 
execute and deliver the Release of Claims to Tektronix within the later of 
forty-five (45) days from the date Executive receives the Release of Claims 
or on the last day of Executive's active employment. 

3.   COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.  In the event that Executive's employment 
is terminated at any time by Tektronix other than for Cause (as defined in 
Section 6.1 of this Agreement), death, or Disability (as defined in Section 
6.2 of this Agreement), subject to Executive's execution of a Release of 
Claims, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

<PAGE>

     3.1  As severance pay and in lieu of any further pay for periods 
          subsequent to the date of termination, Tektronix shall pay 
          Executive, in a single payment within the later of forty-five 
          (45) days after termination of employment or eight days after 
          execution of the Release of Claims, an amount in cash equal to 
          two times Executive's annual base pay at the rate in effect 
          immediately prior to the date of termination, or, if greater, 
          an amount in cash equal to two times Executive's average annual 
          base pay for the three years ending with Executive's last pay 
          change preceding termination.

     3.2  Executive is entitled to extend coverage under any group health 
          plan in which Executive and Executive's dependents are enrolled 
          at the time of termination of employment under the COBRA 
          continuation laws for the 18-month statutory period, or so long 
          as Executive remains eligible under COBRA.

          Tektronix will pay Executive a lump sum payment in an amount 
          equivalent to the reasonably estimated cost Executive may incur 
          to extend for a period of eighteen (18) months under the COBRA 
          continuation laws Executive's group health and dental plan 
          coverage in effect at the time of termination.  Executive may 
          use this payment, as well as any payment made under 3.1, for such 
          COBRA continuation coverage or for any other purpose. 

     3.3  Except as provided in Section 5.2, Executive shall be entitled to 
          a portion of the benefits under any incentive plans in effect at 
          the time of termination (including the Results Sharing Plan and 
          the Annual Performance Improvement Plan), prorated for the portion 
          of the plan year during which Executive was a participant.  For 
          purposes of this Agreement, Executive's participation in the Annual 
          Performance Improvement Plan will be considered to have ended on 
          Executive's last day of active employment.  Prorated awards shall 
          not be due and payable by Tektronix to Executive until the date 
          that all awards are paid after the close of the incentive period.  
          Unless the applicable plan provides for a greater payment for a
          participant whose employment terminates prior to the end of an 
          incentive period (in which case the applicable plan payment shall 
          be made), the proration shall be calculated pursuant to this 
          Section 3.3.  The payment, if any, that would have been made under 
          Executive's award had Executive been made a participant for the 
          full incentive period shall be calculated at the end of the 
          incentive period.  Such amount shall be divided by the total number 
          of days in the incentive period and the result multiplied by the
          actual number of days Executive participated in the plan.

<PAGE>

     3.4  Tektronix will pay up to $12,500 to a third party outplacement firm
          selected by Executive to provide career counseling assistance to 
          Executive for a period of one (1) year following Executive's 
          termination date. 

     3.5  Tektronix will permit Executive to continue to participate in its 
          Executive Financial Counseling Program through the remainder of the 
          term of Executive's current participation (which shall in no case 
          be longer than one (1) year after the effective date of Executive's 
          termination).

4.   SUBSEQUENT EMPLOYMENT.  The amount of any payment provided for in this 
     Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by 
     Tektronix by reason of any compensation earned by Executive as the 
     result of employment by another employer after termination.

5.   OTHER AGREEMENTS.

     5.1  In the event that severance benefits are payable to Executive under 
          any other agreement with Tektronix in effect at the time of 
          termination (including any change of control, "golden parachute"  
          or employment agreement, but excluding any stock option agreement 
          or stock bonus agreement or stock appreciation right agreement that 
          may provide for accelerated vesting or related benefits upon 
          termination or upon the occurrence of a change in control), the 
          benefits provided in this Agreement shall not be payable to 
          Executive.  Executive may, however, elect to receive all of the 
          benefits provided for in this Agreement in lieu of all of the 
          benefits provided in all such other agreements.  Any such election 
          shall be made with respect to the agreements as a whole, and 
          Executive cannot select some benefits from one agreement and other 
          benefits from this Agreement.  No such election shall, however, 
          operate to deprive Executive of the benefit of any term or 
          provision relating to acceleration or lapse of forfeiture 
          restrictions in any stock option or stock bonus agreement between 
          Tektronix and Executive, even if such term or provision is referred 
          to or required by an employment or compensation agreement or other 
          agreement of the kind covered by the first sentence of this section.
          
     5.2  The vesting or accrual of stock options, restricted stock, stock 
          bonuses, or any other stock awards shall not continue following 
          termination except as may be expressly provided by their terms.  
          Any agreements between Executive and Tektronix that relate to stock 
          awards (including but not limited to stock options, long term 
          incentive program, stock bonuses and restricted stock, and the 
          provisions of any employment agreement or compensation agreement 
          relating to special acceleration of options or lapse of forfeiture 
          restrictions on bonus shares) shall be governed by such agreements 
          and shall not be affected by this Agreement.

<PAGE>

6.   DEFINITIONS.

     6.1  CAUSE.  Termination by Tektronix of Executive's employment for 
          "Cause" shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued 
          failure by Executive to perform substantially Executive's 
          reasonably assigned duties with Tektronix (other than any such 
          failure resulting from Executive's incapacity due to physical or 
          mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is 
          delivered to Executive by the Chairman of the Organization and 
          Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Tektronix which
          specifically identifies the manner in which such executive believes 
          that Executive has not substantially performed Executive's duties, 
          or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which 
          is materially and demonstrably injurious to Tektronix.  For purposes 
          of this Section 6.1, no act, or failure to act, on Executive's part 
          shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, 
          by Executive in knowing bad faith and without reasonable belief that 
          Executive's action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best 
          interests of Tektronix.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon 
          authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board
          of Directors or based upon the advice of counsel for Tektronix shall 
          be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by 
          Executive in good faith and in the best interests of Tektronix.

     6.2  DISABILITY.  Termination by Tektronix of Executive's employment 
          based on "Disability" shall mean termination because of Executive's 
          absence from Executive's duties with Tektronix on a full-time basis 
          for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of 
          Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless 
          within thirty (30) days after notice of termination by Tektronix 
          following such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-
          time performance of Executive's duties.

7.   SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

     7.1  This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of 
          Tektronix and its successors and assigns.

     7.2  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable 
          by Executive and Executive's legal representatives, executors, 
          administrators and heirs.
<PAGE>

8.   REGISNATION OF CORPORATE OFFICES.  Executive will resign Executive's 
     office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of Tektronix, its 
     subsidiaries or affiliates, effective as of the date of termination of 
     employment.  Executive agrees to provide Tektronix such written 
     resignation(s) upon request.

9.   GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION.  This Agreement shall be construed in 
     accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon.  
     Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this 
     Agreement or the breach thereof, shall be settled exclusively by 
     arbitration in Portland, Oregon in accordance with the Commercial 
     Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and
     judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered 
     in any Court having jurisdiction thereof.

10.  FEES AND EXPENSES.  In the event that Executive initiates arbitration 
     under the circumstances described in this Agreement to obtain or 
     enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement and the 
     arbitrator determines that Executive is the prevailing party, Executive 
     shall be permitted to recover Executive's reasonable attorneys' fees 
     and costs incurred in connection with such proceeding.  In the event 
     that the arbitrator determines that Tektronix is the prevailing party,
     each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in 
     connection with such proceeding.

11.  AMENDMENT.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless 
     such modification is agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and 
     Tektronix.

12.  PRIOR AGREEMENT.  This Agreement supersedes and replaces the Executive
     Severance Agreement between the parties dated October 23, 1992.

                               RELEASE OF CLAIMS


This Release of Claims (the "Release") is made and executed by ____________
_____________________ in connection with the termination of my employment 
with Tektronix, Inc. ("Tektronix") and in consideration of my receiving 
valuable severance pay and benefits as provided for in the Executive 
Severance Agreement ("Agreement").  These benefits are substantial 
consideration to which I am not otherwise entitled.

On behalf of myself and my spouse, heirs, administrators and assigns, I 
hereby release Tektronix, its parent and related corporations, affiliates, 
or joint venturers and all officers, directors, employees, agents, and 
insurers of the aforementioned (collectively the "Company") from any and 
all liability, damages or causes of action, whether known or unknown relating 
to my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, 
including but not limited to any claims for additional compensation in any
form, or damages.  This specifically includes, but is not limited to, all 
claims for relief or remedy under any state or federal laws, including but 
not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Post-Civil War 
Civil Rights Acts (42 USC Section 1981-1988), the Civil Rights Act of 1991, 
the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the 
Americans with Disabilities Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 
the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Rehabilitation 
Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act, the Fair 
Labor Standards Act, Executive Order 11246, all as amended, and the civil 
rights, employment and labor laws of the state of any state or the United 
States. 

This Release shall not affect any rights which I may have under any medical 
insurance, disability, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation or 
retirement plans maintained by the Company.

I acknowledge that I have been given at least 45 days to consider whether to 
execute this Release of Claims and accept benefits under the Program; that I 
have been advised of my right to consult with an attorney or financial 
advisor of my choice and at my own expense; that the Agreement gives me 
severance pay and benefits which the Company would otherwise have no 
obligation to give me; and that I voluntarily enter into the Release of 
Claims.

I understand that the Release of Claims is to be signed within 45 days from 
the date I received it or on my last day of employment, whichever is later, 
and that I may revoke the Release of Claims, provided I do so in writing 
within seven (7) days of signing the Release.  I understand and agree that 
the Company will have no obligation to pay me any benefits under the 

<PAGE>

Agreement until the expiration of the revocation period, provided I have 
not revoked the Release of Claims.  I understand that if I revoke the Release 
of Claims my termination will nonetheless remain in full force and effect and 
I will not be entitled to any benefits under the Agreement.

I acknowledge that I have had time to consider the alternatives and 
consequences of my election to receive benefits under the Agreement and of 
signing the Release; that I am aware of my right to consult an attorney or 
financial advisor at my own expense; and that, in consideration for executing 
this Release and my election to receive benefits under the Agreement, I have 
received additional benefits and compensation of value to which I would not 
otherwise be entitled.

I HAVE READ THE FOREGOING RELEASE.  I UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT OF THIS
RELEASE AND I VOLUNTARILY ENTER INTO IT AT THIS TIME.

Every provision of this Release is intended to be severable.  In the event 
any term or provision contained in this Release is determined to be illegal, 
invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability 
shall not affect the other terms and provisions of this Release which shall 
continue in full force and effect.

           The Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement dated October
  24, 1990 is amended as follows to reflect the Split Dollar Life Insurance
  Agreement between the parties dated as of October 6, 1993.
  
      1.   Split Dollar Offset.
  
           1.1  In 3.1, (f) and (g) are revised to read as follows:
  
                     (f)  "Offsetting Benefits" are Prior Plan
                  Benefit, Pension Plan Benefit,Retirement
                  Equalization Plan Benefit, and Split Dollar Benefit.
  
                     (g)  "Prior Plan Benefit" is $32,427, which
                  represents the annual benefit payable to Executive
                  from his prior employer's retirement plans,
                   including both tax-qualified plans and any
                  nonqualified plan or arrangement providing a
                  supplemental or excess retirement benefit to
                  Executive.
  
           1.2  A new 3.1 (j) is added as follows:
  
                     (j)  "Split Dollar Benefit" means the benefit
                  payable to Executive through insurance under the
                  Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement dated as of
                  October 6, 1993 between Executive and Tektronix
                  adjusted as follows:
  
                          (1)  If a lump sum benefit is
                       paid at death, it will be converted
                       under 3.3 as though it were paid to
                       Executive the day before death.

                          (2)  If Executive terminates
                       before age 64 and defers the start of
                       the Split Dollar Benefit, the offset
                       will be correspondingly deferred until
                       not later than age 64.
  
                          (3)  If the Split Dollar
                       insurance lapses because a premium is
                       not paid, the offset shall be increased
                       as though the premium had been paid.
  
           1.3  Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 are changed to read as follows:
  
                3.2  Except for the offsetting Split Dollar Benefit, the
        Basic Benefit shall be calculated at the time of Executive's
        termination of employment, adjusting all values actuarially to the
        Normal Commencement Date.  Accruals of Offsetting Benefits (other 
        than the Split Dollar Benefit) after Normal Commencement Date shall 
        be disregarded, but actual vesting to the date of calculation shall
        apply.
  
                3.3  If an Offsetting Benefit is provided in a form or
        starting at a time other than a single life annuity for the life of
        Executive commencing at age 62, the following shall apply:
  
                     (a)  Subject to (b) below, the amount
                  of the offset shall be adjusted to a single
                  life annuity for Executive's life, payable at
                  Normal Commencement Date, that is the
                  actuarial equivalent of the Offsetting Benefit
                  Executive is entitled to receive.
  
                     (b)  The Split Dollar Benefit offset shall be
                  calculated as of the later of the following:
  
                          (1)  The Normal Commencement
                       Date.
  
                          (2)  The earlier of age 64 or
                       the date the Split Dollar Benefit
                       starts.
  
      2.   Effective Date.
  
           This Amendment shall be effective as of October 6, 1993.
