4 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 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. The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the last Saturday in May. Fiscal years 1999 and 1998 are 52 weeks. All share and per share amounts have been restated to give effect to the three-for-two stock split effective October 31, 1997. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components, but has no impact on the Company's net earnings or total shareholders' equity. Comprehensive income (loss) and its components, net of tax, are as follows:
Quarter ended Aug. 29, Aug. 30, (In thousands) 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net earnings (loss) $ (4,663) $ 26,716 Other comprehensive income (loss): Currency translation adjustment, net of taxes of $2,327 and $483 (3,491) (725) Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes of $1,980 and $2,255 (4,106) (2,651) Reclassification adjustment for realized gains included in net income, net of taxes of $1,643 and $2,667 (2,464) (4,000) ----------- ----------- Total comprehensive income (loss) $ (14,724) $ 19,340 =========== ===========

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income tax expense (benefit) consisted of: Quarter ended Aug. 29, Aug. 30, (In thousands) 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ United States $ (7,779) $ 9,211 State (1,373) 1,887 Foreign 6,957 2,060 ----------- ----------- Income tax expense (benefit) $ (2,195) $ 13,158 =========== ===========
The provision for income taxes was calculated using an estimated annual effective rate of 32% and 33%, for the quarters ended August 29, 1998, and August 30, 1997, respectively. FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for disclosure about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information in interim financial reports. The new disclosures will first be presented in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ending May 1999. Information presented for earlier years will be restated for comparative purposes. Adoption of this statement may result in additional disclosures but will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new statement will require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The new statement is effective for fiscal year 2001, but early adoption is permitted. Management has not yet completed an evaluation of the effects this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial - ------- ------------------------------------------------- Condition and Results of Operations ----------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 13 Weeks Ended August 29, 1998 vs. 13 Weeks Ended August 30, 1997 Sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 were $419.0 million, down 13% from first quarter 1998 sales of $481.3 million. Sales were down in all geographies except Europe, which posted modest increases over 1998. Japan was the hardest hit region across all three business units with a decrease in sales of 54%, or $20.4 million from the first quarter of 1998. Orders were down approximately 14% across all geographies with Asia, including Japan the hardest hit. Sales and orders grew strongly in the first quarter of 1998, making the decrease in 1999 more pronounced. The Company recognized a net loss of $0.09 per share during the quarter. The Company's 27% interest in the loss reported by Merix Corporation for the quarter amounted to $0.09 per share. Without this impact, the Company would have realized break-even operations. Measurement Business sales for the first quarter of 1999 were $206.5 million, down 9% from sales of $227.7 million in the first quarter of 1998. Orders for the quarter were $179.8 million, down 14% from $209.1 million in 1998. Most of the decline was in general purpose equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. The decline reflected the effects of the Asian economic crisis, including its effect on other regions of the world, and a decline in orders from the semiconductor industry as capital spending has been reduced as a result of weakening demand in that industry. Management believes that the decline is due to market softness and that the Company is maintaining its market share. Telecommunications test equipment sales increased compared to the first quarter of 1998 because of the additional sales from CTE, the business acquired from Siemens AG during the second quarter of 1998. Color Printing and Imaging sales were flat at $155.4 million compared to $155.7 million in 1998. Orders were up approximately 5% during the quarter to $156.4 million. Sales and orders were strong in the U.S., but generally weak elsewhere in the world, particularly in Asia, including Japan. The decline was a result of cautionary capital spending, in part due to Asia, and a delay in orders industry-wide in anticipation of new product introductions during the Company's second quarter. Additionally, sales in last year's first quarter were very strong with the introduction of the Phaser 560. Video and Networking sales were $57.1 million, down 42% from sales of $97.9 million in 1998. Orders were also down 42% compared to the first quarter of 1998. The decline was realized across all geographies and nearly all product lines. Sales to the broadcast industry were particularly weak as the industry has delayed purchases in anticipation of the move from analog to digital transmission. The broadcast industry is also experiencing market softness as advertising revenues are flattening. This primarily affected sales of Grass Valley products and the Profile line of video disk recorders. Profile products are also experiencing increased price and product competition from new market entrants. Sales in the network displays business decreased as compared to the first quarter of 1998 due to the absence of large orders during the quarter and a slower than expected transition to Windows-based terminals. The Company plans to exit the network displays business. The Company believes that the current line of Lightworks non-linear digital editors is near the end of its product life cycle. Accordingly, the Company entered into a strategic 7 alliance with Avid Technology, Inc. to market Avid's non-linear editing equipment, and the Company will discontinue development of the Lightworks line. Gross profit decreased $29.8 million or 15% from the first quarter of 1998, primarily as a result of declining sales. Gross margin decreased from 41.8% to 40.9% of net sales because of lower than anticipated volumes in all three businesses. Research and development expenses increased to $51.2 million for the quarter from $46.2 million in the first quarter of 1998 as the Company prepares for significant new product announcements in the second quarter. Sales, general and administrative expenses were $119.7 million for the quarter, an increase of $2.8 million over the first quarter of 1998. This represents a significant increase as a percent of sales from 24.3% in 1998 to 28.6% for the current quarter, as a result of decreased sales in 1999. The Company realized a loss of $8.0 million from its equity investments in business ventures during the quarter, primarily related to its 27% interest in Merix Corporation. This compares to break-even earnings in business ventures in the first quarter of 1998. Income taxes decreased significantly from expense of $13.2 million for the first quarter of 1998 to a benefit of $2.2 million for the current quarter as a result of decreased earnings before taxes. The estimated annual effective rates used to calculate income taxes were 32% in 1999 and 33% in 1998. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's financial condition continues to be strong. At August 29, 1998, the Company had $51.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and bank credit facilities totaling $357.5 million, of which $225.8 million was unused. Unused facilities include $75.8 million in lines of credit and $150.0 million under a revolving credit agreement from United States and foreign banks. The Company realized a decrease in working capital of $85.7 million from the end of 1998. Current assets decreased $104.3 million during the quarter with accounts receivable decreasing $73.8 million, cash decreased $68.9 million, inventory increased $23.2 million, and other current assets increased $15.2 million. Cash in the amount of $78.6 million was used to repurchase approximately 3.2 million common shares during the period. Capital expenditures used $24.2 million of cash, and $20.8 million of cash was used in operations during the quarter. Accounts receivable decreased and inventory increased as a result of lower sales during the quarter. Other current assets increased primarily from an increase in net current tax benefits due to payments related to taxes on 1998 earnings and the benefit related to the current period net loss. Current liabilities decreased $18.6 million during the quarter. Accounts payable decreased $35.0 million and accrued compensation decreased $40.4 million from payment of year-end accruals for incentives and commissions. Short-term debt increased $53.2 million during the quarter as the Company utilized credit facilities to finance a portion of the cash consumed. Long-term assets decreased from sales of investments, declining market values of the remaining investments held for sale, and the recognition of losses on investments accounted for under the equity method. The remaining unrealized holding gains in the Company's investment portfolio are $1.4 million, net of deferred taxes. Shareholders' equity decreased by $99.5 million because of the net loss of $4.7 million, dividends paid of $6.0 million, the repurchase of 3.2 million common shares for $78.6 million, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $10.1 million from decreased unrealized holding gains and decreased currency translation adjustment. 8 OUTLOOK The Company expects the current softness in orders and sales to continue for several quarters. During the second quarter, the Company announced a business restructuring plan aimed at significantly reducing expenses. The plan will include workforce reductions of approximately 10% of the worldwide workforce and the exiting of certain product lines. The Company expects to take a yet to be determined charge against earnings during the second quarter to recognize the cost of these actions. The Company also announced authority to repurchase an additional 5 million shares of common stock. This represents the total authorized at this time. YEAR 2000 Many information technology hardware and software systems, as well as other equipment using microprocessors, can accept only two digit entries in the date code field. To operate using dates after December 31, 1999, the date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish twenty-first century dates from twentieth century dates. This is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000" issue. The Company has commenced a program to identify, remediate, test and develop contingency plans for the Year 2000 issue (the Y2k Program). Significant issues are expected to be identified by January of 1999. All phases are expected to be completed prior to July of 1999. The Y2k Program includes a review of (1) information and other technology systems used in the Company's internal business; (2) the Company's hardware and software products delivered to customers; and (3) third party vendors, manufacturers and suppliers. An assessment has been made of the key internal systems, and the Company believes that systems that are not already Year 2000 ready will be modified, upgraded or replaced. The Company is currently assessing its products, and is working with third party vendors, manufacturers and suppliers to identify and resolve Year 2000 issues. The Company does not believe that the historical or anticipated costs of remediation have had, or will have, a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. However, because of the existence of numerous systems and related components within the Company and the interdependency of these systems, it is possible that certain systems at the Company, or systems at entities that provide services or goods for the Company, may fail to operate in the Year 2000. The Company is continuing to evaluate the risks to the Company of failure to be Year 2000 compliant and to develop a contingency plan. Although it is not currently anticipated, the inability to complete the Company's Y2k Program on a timely basis or the failure of a system at the Company or at an entity that provides services or goods to the Company may have a material impact on future operating results or financial condition. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements and information included in this Form 10-Q that relate to the Company's goals, strategies and expectations as to future results and events are based on the Company's current expectations. They constitute forward-looking statements subject to a number of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. As with many high technology companies, risk factors that could cause the Company's actual results or activities to differ materially from these forward looking statements include, but are not limited to: worldwide economic and business conditions in the electronics industry, including the continuing effect of the Asian economic crisis on demand for the Company's products; competitive factors, including pricing pressures, technological developments and new products offered by competitors; 9 changes in product and sales mix, and the related effects on gross margins; the Company's ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new products, and market acceptance of these products; the availability of parts and supplies from third party suppliers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices; inventory risks due to changes in market demand or the Company's business strategies; changes in effective tax rates; customer demand; currency fluctuations; the fact that a substantial portion of the Company's sales are generated from orders received during the quarter, making prediction of quarterly revenues and earnings difficult; and other risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports and in press releases. Additional risk factors specific to the Company's current plans and expectations that could cause the Company's actual results or activities to differ materially from those stated include: the significant operational issues the Company faces in executing its strategy in Video and Networking; the Company's ability to successfully implement its strategic direction and restructuring actions, including reducing its expenditures; the effect of Year 2000 compliance issues; the timely introduction of new products scheduled during the Company's fiscal year, which could be affected by engineering or other development program slippages, the ability to ramp up production or to develop effective sales channels; the customers' acceptance of, and demand for, those products; and changes in the regulatory environment affecting the transition to high-definition television within the time frame anticipated by the Company. Forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward looking statements which may be made to reflect subsequent events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 10 PART II.

MICHAEL M. BRAND ----------------------------------------- Notary Public for Oregon My commission expires December 5, 1966 ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT OF TEKTRONIX, INC. Pursuant to ORS 57.370, these Articles of Amendment were adopted by the undersigned corporation: 1. The name of the corporation is TEKTRONIX, INC. 2. The amendment changes Article VII of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. Article VII as amended reads as follows: ARTICLE VII A. The corporation shall, in accordance with this Article, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. B. The corporation shall, in accordance with this Article, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. C. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs A and B of this Article or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be entitled to indemnification as of right against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Any other indemnification under paragraphs A and B of this Article, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs A and B of this Article. Such determination shall be made (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel, who may be regular counsel, for the corporation, in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders. D. Expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit or proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. 2 E. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in any official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding an office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

G. Any person other than a director or officer who is or was an employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be indemnified to such extent as the board of directors in its discretion at any time or from time to time may authorize. 3.

CASTLES -------------------------------------- Secretary 2 ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT OF TEKTRONIX, INC. Pursuant to ORS 57.360(1), these Articles of Amendment were adopted by the undersigned corporation: 1. The name of the corporation is TEKTRONIX, INC. 2. The amendment changes Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. Article III, as amended, reads as follows: ARTICLE III 1. The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have authority to issue is sixty-one million (61,000,000) shares, divided into sixty million (60,000,000) Common Shares, without par value, and one million (1,000,000) shares of No Par Serial Preferred Shares, without par value. 2. The preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of each class shall be as follows: (i) No Par Serial Preferred Shares. (a) Division Into Series. The corporation's board of directors is hereby expressly granted authority to divide any or all shares of the corporation's Preferred Shares into series designated " % No Par Serial Preferred Shares" (inserting in each case the annual dividend rate, as fixed and determined by the board of directors for each series) and to fix and determine from time to time and to the extent permitted by law the relative powers, rights and preferences of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof. Failure of the board of directors to specify any rights and preferences in the resolution establishing any series of the Preferred Shares shall be deemed a denial of any such rights and preferences so omitted. (b) Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares of each series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, dividends at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined for such series, if any, and no more, in preference to or in such relation to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of shares as hereinafter set forth. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. Computation of the amount of dividends accrued in respect of a fraction of a year shall be on the basis of a 360- day year. In case dividends for any period are not paid in full, all shares of Preferred Shares of all series shall participate ratably in the payment of dividends for such period in proportion to the full amounts of such dividends for such period to which they are respectively entitled. Unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. No dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment in any fiscal year on the Common Shares or on any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends subordinate to the Preferred Shares, other than dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends subordinate to the Preferred Shares, and no payment shall be made to any sinking fund for the Preferred Shares or for any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends on a parity with or subordinate to the Preferred Shares, until all dividends for such fiscal year at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined for all outstanding shares of each series of Preferred Shares have been declared and paid, or set apart for payment, in full. (c) Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, shares of Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the shareholders. On any matter as to which voting of the Preferred Shares shall be required by law or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, such shares shall be entitled to one vote per share and all series thereof shall vote as one class. (d) Liquidation. The holders of Preferred Shares of each series shall be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the corporation, whether capital or surplus, shall be made to or set apart for the holders of the Common Shares or any other series or class of shares ranking junior to such series of Preferred Shares as to rights upon liquidation, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation, voluntary or involuntary, the amount fixed and determined for such series, together with all dividends declared and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution, and no more. If, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets of the corporation distributable among the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets shall be distributed among such holders ratably in proportion to the full amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. Neither the merger nor consolidation of the corporation into or with any other corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any 2 part of the assets of the corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation within the meaning of this paragraph (d). (ii) Common Shares. Subject to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Shares, the Common Shares shall have the following rights and limitations: (a) Dividends. Whenever there shall have been paid or set aside for payment to the holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares and to the holders of outstanding shares of any other class of shares having preference over the Common Shares as to the payment of dividends the full amount of dividends and of sinking fund or purchase fund or other retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively entitled in preference to the Common Shares, then dividends may be paid on the Common Shares and on any class or series of shares entitled to participate therewith as to dividends, out of any assets legally available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the board of directors, provided that dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other class of shares ranking as to dividends and assets subordinate to the Preferred Shares may be paid without regard to the status of payments to the holders of Preferred Shares or other classes of shares. (b) Voting Rights. Holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote per share on any matter submitted to the shareholders. (c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, after there shall have been paid to or set aside for the holders of the shares of Preferred Shares and any other class of shares having preference over the Common Shares in the event of liquidation, the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Shares and of any class or series of shares entitled to participate therewith, in whole or in part, as to the distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution. 3. The amendment was adopted by the shareholders of the corporation on September 24, 1983. 4.

DATED: October 1, 1986 R. ALLAN LEEDY, JR. ----------------------------------------- R. Allan Leedy, Jr. Secretary 3 ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT OF TEKTRONIX, INC. Pursuant to the Oregon Business Corporation Act, these Articles of Amendment were adopted by the undersigned corporation: 1. The name of the corporation is TEKTRONIX, INC. 2. On September 26, 1987, the following two amendments to the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the corporation were approved by shareholders: Article III is amended to read as follows: ARTICLE III 1. The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have authority to issue is eighty-one million (81,000,000) shares, divided into eighty million (80,000,000) Common Shares, without par value, and one million (1,000,000) shares of No Par Serial Preferred Shares, without par value. 2. The preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of each class shall be as follows: (i) No Par Serial Preferred Shares. (a) Division Into Series. The corporation's board of directors is hereby expressly granted authority to divide any or all shares of the corporation's Preferred Shares into series designated " % No Par Serial Preferred Shares" (inserting in each case the annual dividend rate, as fixed and determined by the board of directors for each series) and to fix and determine from time to time and to the extent permitted by law the relative powers, rights and preferences of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof. Failure of the board of directors to specify any rights and preferences in the resolution establishing any series of the Preferred Shares shall be deemed a denial of any such rights and preferences so omitted. (b) Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares of each series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, dividends at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined for such series, if any, and no more, in preference to or in such relation to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of shares as hereinafter set forth. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. Computation of the amount of dividends accrued in respect of a fraction of a year shall be on the basis of a 360-day year. In case dividends for any period are not paid in full, all shares of Preferred Shares of all series shall participate ratably in the payment of dividends for such period in proportion to the full amounts of such dividends for such period to which they are respectively entitled. Unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. No dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment in any fiscal year on the Common Shares or on any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends subordinate to the Preferred Shares, other than dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends subordinate to the Preferred Shares, and no payment shall be made to any sinking fund for the Preferred Shares or for any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends on a parity with or subordinate to the Preferred Shares, until all dividends for such fiscal year at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined for all outstanding shares of each series of Preferred Shares have been declared and paid, or set apart for payment, in full. (c) Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, shares of Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the shareholders. On any matter as to which voting of the Preferred Shares shall be required by law or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, such shares shall be entitled to one vote per share and all series thereof shall vote as one class. (d) Liquidation. The holders of Preferred Shares of each series shall be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the corporation, whether capital or surplus, shall be made to or set apart for the holders of the Common Shares or any other series or class of shares ranking junior to such series of Preferred Shares as to rights upon liquidation, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation, voluntary or involuntary, the amount fixed and determined for such series, together with all dividends declared and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution, and no more. If, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets of the corporation distributable among the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full 2 the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets shall be distributed among such holders ratably in proportion to the full amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. Neither the merger nor consolidation of the corporation into or with any other corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any part of the assets of the corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation within the meaning of this paragraph (d). (ii) Common Shares. Subject to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Shares, the Common Shares shall have the following rights and limitations: (a) Dividends. Whenever there shall have been paid or set aside for payment to the holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares and to the holders of outstanding shares of any other class of shares having preference over the Common Shares as to the payment of dividends the full amount of dividends and of sinking fund or purchase fund or other retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively entitled in preference to the Common Shares, then dividends may be paid on the Common Shares and on any class or series of shares entitled to participate therewith as to dividends, out of any assets legally available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the board of directors, provided that dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other class of shares ranking as to dividends and assets subordinate to the Preferred Shares may be paid without regard to the status of payments to the holders of Preferred Shares or other classes of shares. (b) Voting Rights. Holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote per share on any matter submitted to the shareholders. (c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, after there shall have been paid to or set aside for the holders of the shares of Preferred Shares and any other class of shares having preference over the Common Shares in the event of liquidation, the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Shares and of any class or series of shares entitled to participate therewith, in whole or in part, as to the distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution. 3 A new Article XII is added as follows: ARTICLE XII No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director; provided that this Article XII shall not eliminate the liability of a director for any act or omission for which such elimination of liability is not permitted under the Oregon Business Corporation Act. No amendment to the Oregon Business Corporation Act that further limits the acts or omissions for which elimination of liability is permitted shall affect the liability of a director for any act or omission which occurs prior to the effective date of such amendment. 3. At the time of adoption of the amendments, there were 31,038,485 of the corporation's Common Shares, without par value, and no Preferred Shares, without par value, outstanding and entitled to vote on the amendments. 4.

ALLAN LEEDY, JR. -------------------------------------- R. Allan Leedy, Jr. Secretary 2 ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT OF TEKTRONIX, INC. Pursuant to the Oregon Business Corporation Act, these Articles of Amendment were adopted by the undersigned corporation: 1. The name of the corporation is Tektronix, Inc. 2. On August 16, 1990, the following amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the corporation was duly adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to ORS 60.134: Article XIII is added to read as follows: ARTICLE XIII This Article XIII sets forth the designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights of a series of No Par Preferred Shares of the corporation as determined by the board of directors of the corporation pursuant to its authority under Oregon Revised Statutes 60.134 and Section 3 of Article III of these Restated Articles of Incorporation. 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A No Par Preferred Shares" and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 80,000. 2. Dividends and Distributions. (i) The holders of shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for the purpose, dividends in an amount per share equal to 1,000 (the "Adjustment Number") multiplied by the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number multiplied by the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in Common Shares or a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Shares, without par value, of the corporation (the "Common Shares") after the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A No Par Preferred Shares. (ii) The corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A No Par Preferred Shares as provided in subparagraph 2(1) at the same time that it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Shares (other than a dividend payable in Common Shares). (iii) Dividends shall not be cumulative. Unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series A No Par Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. 3. Voting Rights. The holders of Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall have the following voting rights: (i) Each Series A No Par Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to the number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number then in effect on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the corporation. (ii) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of Series A No Par Preferred Shares and the holders of Common Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the corporation. 4. Certain Restrictions. (i) Whenever dividends or distributions payable on the Series A No Par Preferred Shares as provided in Section 2 have not been declared or paid for any fiscal year, until all such dividends and distributions for such fiscal year on Series A No Par Preferred Shares outstanding shall have been declared and paid in full, the corporation shall not in such fiscal year (a) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking junior or on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A No Par Preferred Shares except dividends paid ratably on the Series A No Par Preferred Shares and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled and dividends or distributions payable in Common Shares; (b) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Series A No Par Preferred Shares or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A No Par Preferred Shares, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the board of directors) to all holders of such shares upon 2 such terms as the board of directors, after consideration of the respective dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (ii) The corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the corporation unless the corporation could, under subparagraph 4(i), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. 5. Restriction on Issuance of Shares; Reacquired Shares. The corporation shall not issue any Series A No Par Preferred Shares except upon exercise of rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of August 16, 1990, between the corporation and First Chicago Trust Company of New York (the "Rights Agreement"), a copy of which is on file with the secretary of the corporation at its principal executive office and shall be made available to shareholders of record without charge upon written request. Any Series A No Par Preferred Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the corporation in any manner whatsoever may be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon any such restoration become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Shares and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Shares to be created by the board of directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (i) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A No Par Preferred Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall have received the Adjustment Number multiplied by the per share amount to be distributed to holders of Common Shares, plus an amount equal to declared and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares. (ii) In the event that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Shares, if any, which rank senior to or on a parity with the Series A No Par Preferred Shares, then assets shall be distributed first to holders of any series of 3 Preferred Shares ranking senior to the Series A No Par Preferred Shares to the extent of their liquidation preferences and such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Series A No Par Preferred Shares and such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the Common Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number multiplied by the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each Common Share is changed or exchanged. 8. Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Adjustment Number. In the event the corporation shall at any time after September 7, 1990 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Shares payable in shares of Common Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number for all purposes of this Article XIII shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Number then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares at a price per Common Shares (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Common Shares) less than the then Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares (as defined in Section 11(d) of the Rights Agreement) on such record date, then in each such case the Adjustment Number for all purposes of this Article XIII shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Number then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible) and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such 4 Current Per Share Market Price (as defined in Section 11(d) of the Rights Agreement). In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the board of directors. Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the corporation shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Adjustment Number shall be readjusted as if such record date had not been fixed; and to the extent such rights, options or warrants are issued but not exercised prior to their expiration, the Adjustment Number shall be readjusted to be the number which would have resulted from the adjustment provided for in this paragraph 8 if only the rights, options or warrants that were exercised had been issued. 9. No Redemption. The Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable at the option of the corporation or any holder thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the corporation may acquire Series A No Par Preferred Shares in any other manner permitted by law. 10. Amendment. Subsequent to the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) these articles of incorporation shall not be further amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series A No Par Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A No Par Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class. 11. Fractional Shares. Series A No Par Preferred Shares may be issued in fractions of a share in integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share, which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holders' fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A No Par Preferred Shares.

DALTON ------------------------------------- James F. Dalton Secretary EX-10.(I) 3 1998 STOCK OPTION PLAN TEKTRONIX, INC. 1998 STOCK OPTION PLAN 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to enable Tektronix, Inc. (the "Company") to attract and retain as employees people of initiative and ability and to provide additional incentives to employees. 2. Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided below and in paragraph 8, the shares to be offered under the Plan shall consist of Common Shares of the Company, and the total number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 4,000,000 Common Shares. The shares issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or reacquired shares. If an option granted under the Plan expires, terminates or is cancelled, the unissued shares subject to such option shall again be available under the Plan. 3. Effective Date and Duration of Plan. (a) Effective Date. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on June 17, 1998. The Plan shall become effective when approved by the shareholders of the Company. (b) Duration. The Plan shall continue in effect until all shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued. The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time except with respect to options then outstanding under the Plan. Termination shall not affect any outstanding options issued under the Plan. 4. Administration. (a) Board of Directors. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, which shall determine and designate from time to time the employees to whom options shall be granted, the amount of the options and the other terms and conditions of the grants. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt and amend rules and regulations relating to administration of the Plan, accelerate any exercise date, extend any exercise period, amend any provision applicable to options and make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board of Directors as necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The interpretation and construction of the provisions of the Plan and related agreements by the Board of Directors shall be final and conclusive. The Board of Directors may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any related agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. (b) Committee. The Board of Directors may delegate to a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") any or all authority for administration of the Plan. If authority is delegated to a Committee, all references to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall mean and relate to the Committee except that only the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan as provided in paragraphs 3 and 11. The Board of Directors may designate a committee of officers of the Company that shall have all authority of the Committee to grant and amend options under the Plan to employees who are not officers. 5. Types of Options; Eligibility; Limitations on Certain Awards. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, take the following action, under the Plan: (i) grant Incentive Stock Options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as provided in paragraph 6(b); (ii) grant options other than Incentive Stock Options ("Non-Statutory Stock Options") as provided in paragraph 6(c); and (iii) grant foreign qualified options as provided in paragraph 7. Any such awards may be made to employees, including employees who are officers or directors, of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors shall select the employees to whom awards shall be made. The Board of Directors shall specify the action taken with respect to each employee to whom an award is made under the Plan. No employee may be granted options under the Plan for more than an aggregate of 600,000 Common Shares in connection with the hiring of the employee or 200,000 Common Shares in any fiscal year otherwise. 6. Option Grants. (a) Grant. With respect to each option grant, the Board of Directors shall determine the number of shares subject to the option, the option price, the period of the option (which shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant), the time or times at which the option may be exercised and whether the option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option. (b) Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) No employee may be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Plan such that the aggregate fair market value, on the date of grant, of the Common Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by that employee during any calendar year under the Plan and under any other incentive stock option plan (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company exceeds $100,000. (ii) An Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan to an employee possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company only if the option price is at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the Common Shares subject to the option on the date it is granted, as described in paragraph 6(b)(iv) and the option term does not exceed five years from the date of grant. (iii) The option price per share shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant. Except as provided in paragraph 6(b)(ii), the option price shall not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the Common Shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option at the time the option is granted. The fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price of the Common Shares as reported in the NYSE Composite Transactions in The Wall Street Journal on the day preceding the date the option is granted, or if there has been no sale on that date, on the last preceding date on which a sale occurred, or such other reported value of the Common Shares as shall be specified by the Board of Directors. (iv) No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted on or after June 17, 2008. (v) The Board of Directors may at any time without the consent of the optionee convert an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Statutory Stock Option. (vi) Subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 8, the total number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares. (c) Non-Statutory Stock Options. The option price for Non-Statutory Stock Options shall be determined by, or in the manner specified by, the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The option price may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the shares on the valuation date selected by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may select the valuation date from among the following dates: (i) the date of commitment by the Company to grant the option; (ii) the date of approval of the option grant by the Board of Directors or (iii) the effective date of the option. The fair market value of shares covered by a Non-Statutory Stock Option shall be deemed to be the closing 2 price of the Common Shares as reported in the NYSE Composite Transactions in The Wall Street Journal on the date preceding the valuation date, or if there has been no sale on that date, on the last preceding date on which a sale occurred, or such other reported value of the Common Shares, or average closing prices for a period of not more than 10 trading days preceding the valuation date, as shall be specified by the Board of Directors. (d) Exercise of Options. Except as provided in paragraph 6(f), no option granted under the Plan may be exercised unless at the time of such exercise the optionee is employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and shall have been so employed continuously since the date such option was granted. Absence on leave or on account of illness or disability under rules established by the Board of Directors shall not, however, be deemed an interruption of employment for this purpose. Except as provided in paragraphs 6(f), 8 and 9, options granted under the Plan may be exercised from time to time over the period stated in each option in such amounts and at such times as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors, provided that options shall not be exercised for fractional shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the optionee does not exercise an option in any one year with respect to the full number of shares to which the optionee is entitled in that year, the optionee's rights shall be cumulative and the optionee may purchase those shares in any subsequent year during the term of the option. (e) Nontransferability. Each Incentive Stock Option and, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, each other option granted under the Plan by its terms shall be nonassignable and nontransferable by the optionee, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the optionee's domicile at the time of death, and each option by its terms shall be exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee. (f) Termination of Employment, Disability or Death. (i) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, in the event the employment of the optionee by the Company or a subsidiary terminates for any reason other than because of death or disability or when eligible for retirement as provided in paragraphs 6(f)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the option may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the option or the expiration of three months after the date of such termination of employment, whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent the optionee was entitled to exercise the option at the date of such termination. (ii) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, in the event of the termination of an optionee's employment when eligible for retirement on or after age 55 under the Tektronix Pension Plan (other than because of death as provided in paragraph 6(f)(iv) or because of disability as provided in paragraph 6(f)(iii)), the option may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the option, the expiration of one year after the date of such termination, or the expiration of three months after the optionee's death following termination, whichever is the shortest period, but only if and to the extent the optionee was entitled to exercise the option on the date of termination. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, cancel any such options at any time prior to the exercise thereof unless the following conditions are met: (A) The optionee shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the judgment of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company. The judgment of the Chief Executive Officer shall be based on the optionee's positions and responsibilities while employed by the Company, the optionee's post-employment responsibilities and position with the other organization or business, the extent of past, current and potential competition or conflict between the Company and the other organization or business, the effect on the Company's customers, suppliers and competitors of the optionee's assuming the 3 post-employment position, and such other considerations as are deemed relevant given the applicable facts and circumstances. The optionee shall be free, however, to purchase as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of such organization or business so long as they are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and such investment does not represent a substantial investment to the optionee or a greater than 10 percent equity interest in the organization or business. (B) The optionee shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use in other than the Company's business, any confidential information or material, as defined in the Company's employee confidentiality agreement, relating to the business of the Company, acquired by the optionee either during or after employment with the Company. (C) The optionee, pursuant to the Company's employee confidentiality agreement, shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title, and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the optionee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company and shall do anything reasonably necessary as requested by the Company to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries. (iii) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, in the event of the termination of employment because of disability as defined in the applicable option agreement, the option shall become exercisable in full and may be exercised by the optionee at any time prior to the expiration date of the option or the expiration of one year after the date of such termination, whichever is the shorter period. (iv) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, in the event of the death of an optionee while in the employ of the Company or a subsidiary, the option shall become exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the option or the expiration of one year after the date of such death, whichever is the shorter period, but only by the person or persons to whom such optionee's rights under the option shall pass by the optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of domicile at the time of death. (v) The Board of Directors, at the time of grant or at any time thereafter, may extend the three-month and one-year expiration periods any length of time not later than the original expiration date of the option, and may increase the portion of an option that is exercisable, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine. (vi) To the extent that the option of any deceased optionee or of any optionee whose employment terminates is not exercised within the applicable period, all further rights to purchase shares pursuant to such option shall cease and terminate. (g) Purchase of Shares. Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, shares may be acquired pursuant to an option granted under the Plan only upon receipt by the Company of notice in writing from the optionee of the optionee's intention to exercise, specifying the number of shares as to which the optionee desires to exercise the option and the date on which the optionee desires to complete the transaction, and if required in order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, containing a representation that it is the optionee's present intention to acquire the shares for investment and not with a view to distribution. Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, on or before the date specified for completion of the purchase of shares pursuant to an option, the optionee must have paid the Company the full purchase price of such shares in cash (including, with the consent of the Board of Directors, cash that may be the proceeds of a loan from 4 the Company) or, with the consent of the Board of Directors, in whole or in part, in Common Shares of the Company valued at fair market value. The fair market value of Common Shares provided in payment of the purchase price shall be the closing price of the Common Shares as reported in the NYSE Composite Transactions in The Wall Street Journal, or such other reported value of the Common Shares as shall be specified by the Board of Directors, on the trading day preceding the date the option is exercised. No shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. With the consent of the Board of Directors an optionee may request the Company to apply automatically the shares to be received upon the exercise of a portion of a stock option (even though stock certificates have not yet been issued) to satisfy the purchase price for additional portions of the option. Each optionee who has exercised an option shall immediately upon notification of the amount due, if any, pay to the Company in cash amounts necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If additional withholding is or becomes required beyond any amount deposited before delivery of the certificates, the optionee shall pay such amount to the Company on demand. If the optionee fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company may withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company to the optionee, including salary, subject to applicable law. With the consent of the Board of Directors an optionee may satisfy this obligation, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold from the shares to be issued upon the exercise that number of shares that would satisfy the withholding amount due or by delivering to the Company Common Shares to satisfy the withholding amount. Upon the exercise of an option, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares issued upon exercise of the option, less the number of shares surrendered in payment of the option exercise or surrendered or withheld to satisfy withholding obligations. 7. Foreign Qualified Grants. Options may be granted under the Plan to such officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are residing in foreign jurisdictions as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. The Board of Directors may adopt such supplements to the Plan as may be necessary to comply with the applicable laws of such foreign jurisdictions and to afford participants favorable treatment under such laws; provided, however, that no option be granted under any such supplement with terms which are significantly more beneficial to the participants than the terms permitted by the Plan. 8. Changes in Capital Structure. If the outstanding Common Shares of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, plan of exchange, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares or dividend payable in shares, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors in the number and kind of shares available for awards under the Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustment in the number and kind of shares as to which outstanding options, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that the optionee's proportionate interest is maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall have no obligation to effect any adjustment that would or might result in the issuance of fractional shares, and any fractional shares resulting from any adjustment may be disregarded or provided for in any manner determined by the Board of Directors. Any such adjustments made by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive. In the event of dissolution of the Company or a merger, consolidation or plan of exchange affecting the Company in lieu of providing for options as provided above in this paragraph 8, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide a 30-day period prior to such event during which optionees shall have the right to exercise options in whole or in part without any limitation on exercisability and upon the expiration of such 30-day period all unexercised options shall immediately terminate. 5 9. Special Acceleration in Certain Events. (a) Special Acceleration. A special acceleration ("Special Acceleration") of options outstanding under the Plan shall occur with the effect set forth in paragraph 9(b) at any time when any one of the following events has taken place: (i) The shareholders of the Company approve one of the following ("Approved Transactions") and either (x) such Approved Transaction is consummated or (y) the Board of Directors determines that consummation of such Approved Transaction is likely and establishes an option exercise period in connection with the consummation of the Approved Transaction: (1) Any consolidation, merger or plan of exchange involving the Company ("Merger") in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which Common Shares would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of Common Shares immediately prior to the Merger have the same proportionate ownership of Common Shares of the surviving corporation after the Merger; or (2) Any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (ii) A tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, of at least 20 percent of the outstanding Common Shares (an "Offer"); or (iii) During any period of 12 months or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted a majority of the Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the nomination or election of such new directors was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period. The terms used in this paragraph 9 and not defined elsewhere in the Plan shall have the same meanings as such terms have in the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder. (b) Effect on Outstanding Options. Upon a Special Acceleration pursuant to paragraph 9(a), all options then outstanding under the Plan shall immediately become exercisable in full for the remainder of their terms or until earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph 8, except that a Special Acceleration shall have no effect on outstanding options if the Board of Directors determines, after consulting with its independent public accountants, that such acceleration could adversely affect the Company's eligibility to be a party to a transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. 10. Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions, etc. The Board of Directors may also grant options under the Plan having terms, conditions and provisions that vary from those specified in the Plan provided that any such options are granted in substitution for, or in connection with the assumption of, existing options granted by another corporation and assumed or otherwise agreed to be provided for by the Company pursuant to or by reason of a transaction involving a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation to which the Company or a subsidiary is a party. 11. Amendment of Plan. The Board of Directors may at any time, and from time to time, modify or amend the Plan in such respects as it shall deem advisable because of changes in the law while the Plan is in effect or for any other reason. Except as provided in paragraphs 6(f), 8, and 9, however, no change in an option already granted shall be made without the written consent of the holder of such option. 6 12. Approvals. The obligations of the Company under the Plan are subject to the approval of state and federal authorities or agencies with jurisdiction in the matter. The Company will use its best efforts to take steps required by state or federal law or applicable regulations, including rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange on which the Company's shares may then be listed, in connection with the grants under the Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver Common Shares under the Plan if such issuance or delivery would violate applicable state or federal securities laws. 13. Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any award pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon (i) any employee any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary by whom such employee is employed to terminate such employee's employment at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, or to increase or decrease such employee's compensation or benefits, or (ii) any person engaged by the Company any right to be retained or employed by the Company or to the continuation, extension, renewal, or modification of any compensation, contract, or arrangement with or by the Company. 14. Rights as a Shareholder. The recipient of any grant under the Plan shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares until the date of issue to the recipient of a stock certificate upon the exercise of an option. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued. 7 EX-27.(I) 4 FINANCIAL DATA SCHEDULE
