iii TEKTRONIX, INC. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 2005 RESTATEMENT JANUARY 1, 2005 TEKTRONIX, INC. 14200 SW KARL BRAUN DRIVE BEAVERTON, OREGON 97077 COMPANY As of December 31, 2004, the Company maintained the following unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plans for select groups of management or highly compensated employees: Plan accounts maintained for former employees under an inactive plan, pending payment ("EPS") The Grass Valley Group, Inc. GVG Executive Incentive Compensation Plan ("GVG Plan") Tektronix, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") Tektronix, Inc. Retirement Equalization Plan, relating to supplements to benefits under the Tektronix Cash Balance Plan ("REP") Tektronix Deferred Compensation Plan, relating to certain incentive compensation ("APIP") Tektronix, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, also known as the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, relating to deferral of compensation generally and covering both management employees and Board Members ("DCP") Tektronix, Inc. Stock Deferral Plan, relating to deferral of director and employee compensation payable in Tektronix, Inc. common stock ("Stock Deferral Plan") The Company adopted an interim 2005 Restatement to restate the DCP, as last amended on September 8, 2003, primarily to change the Deferral Period for members of the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board Members") from a fiscal year to a calendar year. This Restatement includes and supersedes the provisions of the interim 2005 Restatement. The provisions of the interim 2005 Restatement shall have no separate effect on operation. The EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and the APIP are frozen effective as of various dates; no new deferred compensation credit accrues under the plans and accounts are maintained solely for the purpose of providing for earnings credit and distributions in accordance with applicable distribution terms and elections. The Company also desires to consolidate the EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and the APIP into the DCP, which shall be the surviving plan, for administrative efficiency, and to amend the EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP, the APIP and DCP to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), to coordinate payment and investment credit features and to make other changes as provided below. After the consolidation, Tektronix will maintain the DCP and the Stock Deferral Plan. The Stock Deferral Plan will be amended separately and maintained under a separate plan document. The Company intends to preserve the terms of the DCP substantially in effect as of December 31, 2004 with respect to the vested DCP Account balances as of December 31, 2004 to avoid the requirements of section 409A of the Code with respect to such balances. The preservation does not extend to the benefits or Account balances from before 2005 under the EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and APIP even though the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and APIP will merge into the DCP. The Committee shall keep separate subaccounts for the former EPS, GVG Plan, SERP, REP and APIP balances and amounts that deferred or become vested under the DCP after December 31, 2004 to assure preservation of the pre-2005 DCP benefits as if the pre-2005 DCP vested balances were a separate plan. Amounts that are deferred or that become vested under the DCP after December 31, 2004 are subject to section 409A of the Code. The DCP (the "Plan") is amended and restated as follows: 1. EFFECTIVE DATES AND TRANSITION PROVISIONS 1.1 This 2005 Restatement amends the Plan as most recently amended on September 8, 2003 and amends and supersedes an earlier 2005 Restatement and is generally effective January 1, 2005 except as provided below. The terms of this 2005 Restatement amend and supersede all of the terms of the EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and the APIP, as applicable, including the time and form of benefit payments. 1.2 The EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and the APIP are merged into the Plan and the amendments by this Restatement of the EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and the APIP are subject to the special effective dates provided in Appendix A. The various special elections concerning time and form of payment of the EPS, the GVG Plan, the SERP, the REP and the APIP subaccount balances shall not apply to DCP balances described in 7.10 and 8.1.2. 1.3 The Deferral Period (as defined in the Plan as in effect before January 1, 2005) is changed as follows: 1.3.1 The Deferral Period for Board Members that ends August 31, 2005 shall remain effective and shall apply to Director Fees (as defined in the Plan as in effect before January 1, 2005) for services through September 22, 2005. No deferral of director fees will be allowed for services performed from September 23, 2005 to December 31, 2005. 1.3.2 Effective January 1, 2006, the applicable period for deferrals by Board Members under 4.1 shall be the calendar year. Deferral elections of Board Members for director fees for services in 2006 must be submitted to the Committee in accordance with Committee procedures by December 31, 2005. 2 2. PURPOSES; ADMINISTRATION; AFFILIATES; PLAN YEAR 2.1 This Plan is maintained to provide for payment of deferred compensation formerly provided under separate arrangements maintained under separate documents, as modified to comply with section 409A of the Code, and to allow more simple and efficient administration. The Plan is designed to provide unfunded deferred compensation for a select group of highly compensated or management employees and to qualify as such a plan under section 2520.104-23 and related provisions of Department of Labor regulations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 2.2 This Plan is maintained to permit eligible employees of the Company and any of its participating Affiliates under 2.4 to defer a portion of what would otherwise be current compensation. The Plan also provides deferred compensation credits for amounts by which employer contributions for eligible employees under the Tektronix 401(k) Plan ("401(k) Plan") and accruals under the Tektronix Cash Balance Plan ("Cash Balance Plan") are reduced because taxable compensation of the participant for a Plan Year is reduced by elective deferrals under the Plan. The Plan also provides deferred compensation credits to certain employees to supplement benefits under the Cash Balance Plan. 2.3 The Plan shall be administered by an Administrative Committee ("Committee") appointed by the chief executive officer of the Company, or the officer's delegate. The Committee shall interpret the Plan and make determinations about participation and benefits. Any decision by the Committee within its authority shall be final and binding on all parties. The Committee shall have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and applicable law. The Committee may delegate all or part of its authority. 2.4 The Plan shall apply to the Company and its Affiliates. An Affiliate is a corporation or other entity that has been designated an Affiliate for this purpose by the Committee. The designation of an Affiliate may include special provisions that apply only to the Affiliate, its employees and members of its board of directors. The term "Employer" refers to the Company and all designated Affiliates. 2.5 The "Plan Year" shall be the calendar year. 3. ELIGIBILITY 3.1 Board Members are eligible for deferral of compensation as provided in 4.1. 3.2 Employees who are United States "Senior Managers" or hold more senior positions are eligible for deferral of compensation as provided in 4.1 and 401(k) make-up credits and pension make-up credits as provided in 5.2.2 and 5.2.3. 3.3 Officers who are subject to section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are eligible for pension supplement credits as provided in 5.2.4. 3.4 The Committee may determine that any employee of an Employer shall be eligible to participate for a Plan Year and may determine before a Plan Year or before 3 employment starts that an employee who otherwise holds an eligible position is not eligible for the year. If an employee holds an eligible position but changes employment status or is no longer approved by the Committee for participation during a year, participation in compensation deferrals under 4.1 below and participation in credits for 401(k) make-up, pension make-up and pension supplement under 5.2.2, 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 below shall continue for the remainder of the Plan Year. Discontinuation of eligibility and credits shall not constitute a termination of employment and shall not trigger a payment of benefits, nor will it discontinue earnings credits or affect the participant's ability to select among guideline investment funds (if any) on the same basis as other participants. 3.5 An eligible Board Member or employee must enroll to begin or continue participation in this Plan. Such enrollment shall constitute acceptance of any changes associated with merging a deferred compensation balance from a prior plan into this Plan, if applicable, and other changes under this Restatement. The enrollment shall include an election of time and manner of payment of amounts not covered by an election described in 3.6. An election described in 3.6 may serve as enrollment. 3.6 An eligible Board Member or employee may participate in elective deferrals and an eligible employee may participate in related 401(k) make-up credits and pension make-up credits by filing a deferral election as provided in 4.1. 3.7 A person eligible to elect deferral or who has an Account under the Plan shall be known as a participant. 4. COMPENSATION DEFERRAL 4.1 Eligible Board Members and eligible employees may elect for each Plan Year (or part Plan Year under 4.2.3) to defer director fees payable in cash, salary, bonus or commissions otherwise payable for the year or part year, and eligible employees may elect to defer bonuses payable under the Tektronix Annual Performance Incentive Plan, as follows: 4.1.1 The amount of director fees payable in cash, salary, bonus or commissions deferred may be expressed as a whole percentage of director fees, salary, bonus or commissions for the year or as a specified dollar amount. The percentage designated shall apply automatically to any director fee or pay changes in the year. The maximum deferral shall be 100 percent of director fees payable in cash, 100 percent of commissions, and 90 percent of salary, subject to automatic reduction to accommodate withholding of amounts required by law and amounts elected before the beginning of the year to provide benefits under any benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate. 4.1.2 A bonus deferral shall be governed by the election for the Company's fiscal year for which the bonus is payable. The amount deferred may be expressed as a whole percentage of bonus or as a specified dollar amount. An election of a specified dollar amount shall be treated as an election of the lower of 100 percent of the bonus or the specified dollar amount. The maximum deferral shall be 100 percent of the bonus, subject to automatic reduction to accommodate withholding of amounts required by law 4 and amounts elected before the beginning of the year to provide benefits under any benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate. 4.1.3 The minimum deferral amount for a participant for a Plan Year shall be $5,000, taking into account all deferrals by the participant of director fees, salary, commission and bonus for the Plan Year under the Plan and the Stock Deferral Plan. Bonus amounts are taken into account in the Plan Year in which the bonus is payable. Elections for all amounts under all Plans must be filed and irrevocable not later than as provided under 4.2 for any amount otherwise payable in the year. The Committee may determine at any time that a participant's elections will fail to provide for the minimum deferral amount and are void. The Committee shall disregard failure caused by a decline in the value of Stock during the year. If elections are void, the amounts shall not be deferred and the Committee may determine the timing of the compensation that fails to be deferred, provided that the amounts shall be paid and included in income before the end of the Plan Year. If the deferral fails to satisfy the minimum solely because of the termination of services of the Board Member or the termination of employment or change of position or compensation of the employee, the deferral elections shall not be void. 4.1.4 The following compensation is subject to deferral: (a) "Bonus" means only performance based compensation under the Tektronix Annual Performance Incentive Plan. (b) "Director fees" means retainer, chair and director or special committee meeting fees otherwise payable in cash unless deferred under the Plan or the Stock Deferral Plan. Director fees do not include expenses that are paid or reimbursed or compensation payable only in a form other than cash. (c) "Salary" means base salary for the Plan Year and excludes commission, bonus, option, equity, severance, allowances, or other compensation, whether paid or reimbursed in cash or property. (d) "Commission" means commission compensation. 4.1.5 The Committee may change the minimum and maximum deferrals and may decrease a participant's deferrals, but no change or decrease may be effective after an election becomes effective, except as provided in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. 4.2 Deferral elections under the Plan shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. The Committee will determine and notify eligible employees how deferral elections will be calculated and charged to reduce compensation. An election may not be revoked, even prospectively, with respect to a Plan Year or bonus period after the applicable effective date. Elections shall be effective as follows: 4.2.1 An election to defer director fees, salary or commission must be filed with the Committee, and shall be effective and irrevocable, not later than the start of the Plan Year for which it applies, subject to 4.2.3. 5 4.2.2 Subject to 4.2.3, an election to defer bonus must be filed with the Committee, and shall be effective and irrevocable, not later than six months before the end of the Company's fiscal year, or any earlier date that is the end of the performance period for the bonus. The election shall be ineffective if the participant fails to perform services continuously during the following period: (a) Starting the later of (i) the first day of the 12-month performance period for the bonus, or (ii) the date on which the performance criteria are established. (b) Ending on the earlier of (i) the date the deferral election is submitted and effective, or (ii) the date that is described in the first sentence of 4.2.2. 4.2.3 The following shall apply to a Board Member or employee who first becomes eligible after the start of a Plan Year or a fiscal year: (a) The individual may elect to defer compensation for services performed after the election by submitting the election within 30 days after becoming eligible. (b) All arrangements that are required to be aggregated under applicable law shall be considered. An individual shall not be treated as first becoming eligible under the Plan if the individual is already eligible under another arrangement that is aggregated with the Plan to determine the "plan" that covers the individual. (c) The amount of bonus that is treated as compensation for services performed after the election and subject to the deferral election is a fraction of the bonus. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days of the fiscal year after the date the election is submitted. The denominator of the fraction is the number of days in the fiscal year. 4.2.4 An election shall be effective only for one Plan Year, or part Plan Year under 4.2.3. A new election shall be required for each year. Separate elections shall be filed for director fees deferral, salary deferral, commission deferral and bonus deferral. Deferral elections shall be submitted in a format established by the Committee. 4.3 The participant's compensation for the year shall be reduced by the amounts deferred, subject to 4.1.3. 5. DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS; VESTING 5.1 An Account shall be maintained for each participant on the books of the Company or other Employer, as applicable in accordance with the adoption statement of the Employer, until full payment has been made to the participant or beneficiaries under Sections 7 and 8. The following shall apply, subject to Section 6: 6 5.1.1 The Committee shall maintain such subaccounts under each Account as may be necessary to give effect to the participant's elections concerning time and form of payment, to proper earnings credit, to vesting, to preservation of pre-2005 terms for pre-2005 balances and to any other terms of the Plan that may affect the balance of the Account. 5.1.2 Employer shall not be obligated to set aside or earmark any funds for the Account, which shall be purely a bookkeeping device. 5.1.3 All amounts of deferred compensation under this plan shall remain at all times the unrestricted assets of the Employer, and the promise to pay the deferred amounts shall at all times remain unfunded as to the participants. 5.2 The Accounts of participants shall be adjusted by the following: 5.2.1 For each participant, credit for deferrals under 4.1. Amounts shall be credited as soon as practicable after the date the amount would have been paid if not deferred. 5.2.2 For each participant, credit for 401(k) make-up as follows: (a) The credit for 401(k) make-up shall be the sum of the following differences: (1) The difference between the recalculated match minus the actual match for the participant under the 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year. The difference may be zero. (2) The difference between the recalculated basic contribution minus the actual basic contribution for the participant under the 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year. The difference may be zero. (b) The recalculated match and the recalculated basic contribution shall be calculated by adding to the participant's compensation for purposes of the 401(k) an amount equal to the participant's deferral credit under 5.2.1 for the Plan Year. However, the recalculation shall not count total compensation greater than the limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code. Elective deferrals under the 401(k) Plan shall not be affected. (c) The "basic contribution" under the 401(k) Plan is any employer contribution other than matching contributions and participant-elected contributions. (d) Amounts shall be credited annually as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, which may be after the Plan Year. 5.2.3 For each participant, credit for pension make-up as follows: 7 (a) The credit for pension make-up shall be the difference between the recalculated accrual minus the actual accrual for the participant under the Cash Balance Plan for the Plan Year. The difference may be zero. (b) The recalculated accrual shall be determined by adding to the participant's compensation for purposes of the Cash Balance Plan accruals an amount equal to the participant's deferral credit under 5.2.1 for the Plan Year. However, the recalculation shall not count total compensation greater than the limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code. Interest or other earnings credit under the Cash Balance Plan terms shall be included in the accruals. (c) Amounts shall be credited annually as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, which may be after the Plan Year. 5.2.4 For each participant eligible under 3.3, credit for pension supplement as follows: (a) The credit for pension supplement shall be the difference between the recalculated accrual minus the adjusted accrual. (b) The adjusted accrual is the sum of the accrual actually credited for the participant under the Cash Balance Plan for the Plan Year plus the pension make-up under 5.2.3 for the Plan Year. (c) The recalculated accrual shall be the amount that would have been accrued for the participant under the Cash Balance Plan if both of the following applied: (1) The amount of the participant's deferral credit under 5.2.1 for the Plan Year had been included in the participant's compensation under the Cash Balance Plan. (2) The limitations of sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code did not apply. (d) The actual pension supplement credit shall be determined by the Company in its discretion, and the actual supplement may differ from the specified calculation. No participant shall be entitled to any credit until the credit is finally determined by the Company and entered into Account records. Amounts shall be credited annually as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, which may be after the Plan Year. (e) The pension supplement credit shall not affect the participant's taxable compensation for the Plan Year and shall not take into account the participant's elections under the 401(k) Plan or other contributions under the 401(k) Plan, except as provided under the terms of the Cash Balance Plan. 5.2.5 Credit for earnings as provided in 5.3. The credit may be negative. 8 5.2.6 Amounts necessary to account for applicable withholding for Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes imposed on the credits under sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) (as applicable) of the Code, and for tax withholding imposed by section 3401 of the Code and tax withholding imposed by state and local laws with respect to the FICA tax amount, including related pyramiding taxes, in accordance with procedures of the Committee and payroll practices and procedures of the Company. 5.3 Employer shall add earnings credits to each participant's Account, based on guideline investment earnings, until the entire Account has been paid out, as follows: 5.3.1 The Committee shall establish guideline investment funds with investment objectives fixed by the Committee, and may change the funds at its discretion. The guideline funds may parallel funds or other investments available under any insurance policy or policies purchased by the Company or Employer in connection with the Plan, funds available under any irrevocable trust established under Section 6, below, or other investment indexes identified from time to time by the Committee, but no Employer or trustee shall have any obligation to invest any amounts in any guideline fund. 5.3.2 Each participant shall, under procedures established by the Committee, elect among available guideline funds for the participant's Account under this Plan. In the absence of a proper election, a guideline fund designated by the Committee will be used. Participant elections may be changed at such times and subject to such limits as may be fixed by the Committee. 5.3.3 The Committee shall credit Accounts in accordance with earnings (which may be negative) of the elected guideline funds in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. 5.4 A participant's Account shall be 100 percent vested at all times with respect to deferral credits under 5.2.1 and related earnings credit. The 401(k) make-up credit and related earnings credit shall be vested in the same percentages as the participant's employer contributions under the 401(k) Plan. The pension make-up credit and pension supplement credit and related earnings credit shall be vested in the same percentages as the participant's benefit under the Cash Balance Plan. 5.5 Amounts, other than director fees, credited under 5.2 shall be treated as wages for purposes of FICA taxes as follows: 5.5.1 Credits for elected deferrals shall be treated as wages when the amounts deferred would otherwise have been paid. 5.5.2 Credits for 401(k) make-up, pension make-up and pension supplement shall be treated as wages when they vest instead of when they are credited, if vesting is later. Related unvested earnings credits shall be treated as wages when they vest. 5.5.3 Except as provided in 5.5.2, earnings credit is not treated as wages. 9 6. IRREVOCABLE TRUST 6.1 Employer may, but shall not be required to, establish an irrevocable trust to cover the liabilities to participants in certain circumstances, and may transfer cash or other property to such a trust. Employer may use the same trust as may be established under the Stock Deferral Plan. 6.2 If Employer creates a trust under 6.1 above, assets transferred to the trust shall be invested as follows: 6.2.1 Investment of such assets shall be at the absolute discretion of the Committee, the trustee, or both on a shared basis, as provided in the trust. Neither the Committee nor the trustee shall be required to invest in such funds in accordance with participants' elections under 5.3. The Committee and the trustee may, however, choose, in their discretion, to invest in the elected guideline funds in accordance with the elections. 6.2.2 The guideline investment funds under 5.3 shall be purely for measuring the amount of earnings credits to Accounts. 6.3 The trust under 6.1 shall be a grantor trust and all assets held in trust shall be assets of Employer subject to the trust terms. All assets of the trust shall at all times be subject to the claims of creditors of Employer in circumstances described in the trust. Participants will not receive a vested priority interest in the trust assets ahead of such creditors. Participants' interests in the trust will be governed by the trust terms at all times. 6.4 The trust terms may provide that the assets of the trust may be used to pay amounts with respect the Stock Deferral Plan and with respect to certain Accounts or subaccounts under the Plan and not others, subject to claims of creditors. 7. TIME AND MANNER OF PAYMENT 7.1 Annual Election of Payment Date. Subject to 7.3, 7.10 and 7.11, for all deferred amounts for a year (and subsequent earnings credit on the deferred amounts for that year), including 401(k) make-up under 5.2.2, pension make-up under 5.2.3 and pension supplement under 5.2.4, a participant shall elect a Payment Date that is one of the following as selected under 7.6: 7.1.1 Upon Termination. The date the participant's service as a Board Member or employment has terminated for any reason, including death and disability. Special provisions under 9 apply to termination by death. A participant is disabled if the Committee determines that any of the following apply: (a) The participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months. 10 (b) The participant is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer. (c) The Social Security Administration has determined the participant to be totally disabled. 7.1.2 January After Termination. The January next following the date in 7.1.1. 7.1.3 In-Service. The January selected by the participant that is not less than two years after the year subject to the deferral election. 7.2 Default Payment Date. The Payment Date shall be the date in 7.1.1 if either of the following apply: 7.2.1 The participant has not properly elected a Payment Date. 7.2.2 Payment of all amounts subject to an election under 7.1.3 has not been completed by the date in 7.1.1. 7.2.3 The balance of the participant's Account is not more than $50,000 as of the date in 7.1.1. 7.3 Form of Payment.

Payment under 7.1.3 shall be paid in not more than five annual installments (including a single installment) elected by the participant, starting as soon as practicable, but not more than 90 days, after the Payment Date, subject to 7.2.2. 7.5 Default Form of Payment. Payment shall be in a lump sum if any of the following apply: 7.5.1 A participant has not properly selected a form of payment. 7.5.2 Termination of a Board Member's service before age 55 and five years of service. 11 7.5.3 Termination of employment before age 55 and five years of service. 7.5.4 Payment is subject to 7.2.2 or 7.2.3. 7.6 Elections. In the deferral election under 4.1 for the year a participant shall select a Payment Date under 7.1 and a form of payment under 7.3 or 7.4 for all deferred amounts and related earnings credits for the Plan Year. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish rules and procedures to allow a participant to elect more than one Payment Date and form of payment for amounts deferred for a year and allocate the deferred amount between or among Payment Dates. Subject to 7.10, the selection shall be irrevocable. If different selections apply to different amounts for the year or different years, the Account shall be appropriately divided to track earnings credits and payments with respect to each selection. 7.7 Installments. If installments are selected, the payout period shall be specified in the deferral election. The installment size shall be fixed as of a valuation date determined by the Committee preceding the first Payment Date and each later December 31 as though equal installments were to be paid for the remainder of the installment period, disregarding future earnings credits. 7.8 Termination. A participant terminates service as a Board Member or employment when no longer serving as a Board Member of, or employed by, an Employer. A transfer from one Employer to another or to an affiliate shall not constitute a termination of service as a Board Member or termination of employment. 7.9 Withholding. The Employer may withhold from any payments any income tax or other amounts as required by law. 7.10 Special Rules for Changing Form of Payment. Payment of amounts that were credited to a participant's DCP account as of December 31, 2004 (and subsequent related earnings credits) with respect to services performed before January 1, 2005, and that were vested as of December 31, 2004, all pursuant to the terms of the DCP in effect on October 3, 2004, shall be governed by such terms and applicable elections in effect before January 1, 2005 and not by the terms of this Restatement except as provided in Section 8 below and the following restatement of pre-2005 Plan terms: 7.10.1 A participant may change the form of a payment that is scheduled to start after termination by filing a new election with the Committee not less than 13 calendar months prior to the date of the participant's termination of services as a Board Member or employment. If termination occurs prior to the expiration of the 13-month period, the election shall not be effective. 7.10.2 Subject to 7.10.1, the new election shall be effective with respect to all amounts described above and shall supersede all prior elections with respect to such amounts. 7.10.3 The election may change only the form of payment. The Payment Date may not be changed. 12 7.11 Delay of Payment to Key Employees. Payment on account of termination may not start or be made to a participant who is a "key employee" as defined in section 416(i) of the Code, without regard to section 416(i)(5) of the Code, before the date which is six months after the date of termination. The Committee may determine that a participant is a key employee in the event of doubt or to avoid impractical efforts or expense to make an exact determination of key employees. A participant shall have no claim, rights or remedy if the determination is not correct.
