Mr. Ed Corrao
Fidelity Investments
Legal Department - Proxy Group
82 Devonshire Street - F7C
Boston, MA 02109

Dear Mr. Corrao:

As we have discussed, Tektronix management will recommend to our board of
directors at our next regularly scheduled board meeting that we amend the 2002
Stock Incentive Plan (if approved by the shareholder's at the Sept. 26
shareholder's meeting) as follows:

1.   Below Market Option Grants.

     The Plan prohibits the grant of stock options with an exercise price of
     less than fair market value except that below market options can be granted
     as part of the 400,000 pool of shares.

     o    The second sentence of Section 6.3-1 is amended to read as follows:

     All options shall be granted at an option price of not less than 100
     percent of the fair market value of the Common Stock covered by the
     Non-Statutory Stock Option at the date the option is granted, except that
     the Board of Directors may grant a limited number of options with an
     exercise price determined by the Board of Directors that is less than fair
     market value to the extent permitted by Section 5.3.

     o    The following is added to the end of Section 5.3:

     Of these 1,000,000 shares, not more than an aggregate of 400,000 shares can
     be issued as (a) stock bonuses not issued in lieu of cash compensation, (b)
     restricted stock awards issued with restriction periods less than those set
     forth in Section 8, and (c) stock options granted at less than fair market
     value.

2.   Restricted Stock.

     The Plan imposes minimum restriction periods for one (for performance
     vested stock) or three years (for time vested stock), other than in the
     event of death, disability, termination of employment or a change of
     control, except that restricted

     stock without these minimum restriction periods can be issued as part of
     the 400,000 pool of shares.

     o    The following is added to the end of Section 8:

     Except to the extent permitted by the last sentence of Section 5.3,
     restricted stock shall be nontransferable and subject to repurchase by or
     forfeiture to the Company during a restriction period specified by the
     Board of Directors at the time of grant and (a) with respect to restricted
     stock that becomes unrestricted based on performance of the Company under
     criteria determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, the
     minimum restriction period shall be one year from the award date of the
     restricted stock (b) with respect to shares that become unrestricted based
     upon the grantee's continued employment with the Company, the minimum
     restriction period shall be the 3 years from the date of grant (except that
     the restrictions can lapse as to shares in installments during the three
     year period as determined by the Board of Directors) and (c) at the
     discretion of the Board of Directors, these minimum restriction periods
     shall not apply in the event of the grantee's death, disability or
     termination of employment or in connection with certain transactions that
     may involve a change of control of the Company as determined by the Board
     of Directors.

     o    See revision to Section 5.3 referred to above with respect to the
          400,000 share pool.

     The Board cannot waive the restriction periods:

     o    The second sentence of Section 4.1 is revised to read as follows:

     Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors may adopt and
     amend rules and regulations relating to administration of the Plan, advance
     the lapse of any waiting period, accelerate any exercise date, waive or
     modify any restriction applicable to shares (except those restrictions
     imposed by law and minimum restriction periods required by Section 8) and
     make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board of Directors
     necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

3.   Stock Bonuses.

     Stock bonuses can only be granted in lieu of cash compensation, except as
     part of the 400,000 share pool.

     o    The following restriction is added to Section 7.

     Except to the extent permitted by the last sentence of Section 5.3, stock
     bonuses that are not subject to any restrictions concerning transferability
     or forfeitability to the Company shall be issued only in lieu of cash
     compensation (including salary or any bonus) where the Company would
     otherwise have paid a determinable amount of cash to the grantee.

     o    See revision to Section 5.3 referred to above with respect to the
          400,000 share pool.

4.   Shareholder Approval of Plan Amendments.

     The following Plan amendments would be subject to shareholder approval:

     o    any increase in shares reserved for the Plan,
     o    any increase in the 400,000 share pool to an amount above 5% of the
          total shares reserved for the Plan,
     o    any option repricings,
     o    any amendment to the fair market value option provision, and
     o    any amendment to the amendment provision.

     o    The first sentence of Section 12 is revised to read as follows:

     The Board of Directors may at any time modify or amend the Plan in any
     respect, except that, other than as provided in Section 10, shareholder
     approval shall be required for (a) any increase in the number of shares
     reserved for the Plan, (b) any increase in the number of shares referred to
     in the last sentence of Section 5.3 to a number that exceeds 5% of the
     total shares reserved for the Plan, (c) any amendment to Section 5.4 of the
     Plan, (d) any amendment to Section 6.3-1 of the Plan and (e) any amendment
     to this Section 12.

If you have further questions, please call.

Cordially,

/s/ James F. Dalton
