EXHIBIT 10.11
PRINTRONIX, INC.
1994 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of October 8, 1997 between PRINTRONIX, INC., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxx (hereinafter referred to as "Participant").
1. Purposes. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the terms of the
Printronix, Inc. 1994 Stock Incentive Plan to provide Participant with an
additional interest in and incentive to serve the Company. Nothing contained in
this Agreement, however, shall be construed as obligating either Participant or
the Company to continue Participant's employment or other affiliation with the
Company.
2. Sale of Shares. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to sell to Participant and Participant
hereby agrees to purchase from the Company 40,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01
par value, of the Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shares"
or singularly as a "Share") for a purchase price of $10.00 per Share, equal to
an aggregate purchase price of $400,000.
(b) As consideration for the Shares, Participant shall execute and
deliver to the Company a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000,
payable as, and to the extent that, the Shares vest (as hereinafter defined),
together with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of 8.0% per
annum. Participant may from time to time prepay all or any part of the balance
due on the note without penalty. However, such prepayment shall not accelerate
the vesting of any Shares. Participant shall be personally liable on the note,
which shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the "Note").

3. Restrictions. Except as provided in this Paragraph 3 (as to the
Company's right to repurchase the Shares) and in Paragraph 4 (as to the pledge
of Shares to the Company), Participant agrees not to sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, or hypothecate in any way any of the Shares until they have "vested" (as
hereinafter defined) and have been paid for and until they are no longer subject
to divestment.
The Company shall initially have the right to repurchase all of the
Shares. The right to repurchase shall lapse as to 50% of the Shares at the end
of each fiscal year, commencing with 1999, in which both of the following occur:
(i) sales for that fiscal year are at least 7% greater than for the immediately
preceding fiscal year, and (ii) pre-tax earnings per share for that fiscal year
are at least 15% greater than for the immediately preceding fiscal year. At the
end of fiscal year 2001 or upon termination of employment or other affiliation,
whichever occurs first, the Company shall repurchase all Shares as to which the
right of repurchase has not lapsed. Because in the event of termination of
employment or other affiliation, the Company's right to repurchase may again
come into existence, as described below, none of the Shares can be sold prior to
the end of the fiscal year 1999. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall repurchase all of the Shares at any time until the end of fiscal year 2001
if Participant voluntarily leaves the employ of or ceases affiliation with the
Company, dies, or is terminated for cause. As the foregoing conditions have been
satisfied as to any portion of the Shares, those Shares as to which the
conditions have been satisfied and as to which the Company has no right to
repurchase shall be deemed to be "vested."
Repurchase by the Company shall be for a purchase price per Share equal
to the price per Share paid by Participant, together with interest on the amount
of said purchase price at a rate of 8.0% per annum from the date of purchase by
Participant to the date of repurchase by the Company.

At such time that Participant's interest in any of the Shares is
vested and is not subject to divestment, then to that extent Participant shall
repay the Note and upon such repayment shall receive a certificate or
certificates representing such vested shares. If repayment has not been made
within 90 days of vesting, then the Company may repurchase the Shares.
4. Pledge of Shares. Upon issuance and sale of the Shares to
Participant, Participant shall deliver the certificate(s) representing the
Shares to the Company, along with appropriate stock powers executed by
Participant, to secure performance by Participant of his obligations under this
Agreement. Participant agrees that in the event that any stock dividends, stock
splits, reclassification, or other change is declared or made in the capital
structure of the Company, all new, substituted and additional shares, or other
securities, issued by reason of such change in respect to Shares that have not
"vested" (as defined in Paragraph 3 hereof), shall be delivered forthwith to the
Company and shall be held by the Company under the terms of this Agreement. The
Company shall release from this pledge and deliver to Participant the
certificate(s) representing any Shares that become "vested" as soon as
reasonably practicable after they have become "vested", together with any
additional shares or other securities under this pledge which may have been
issued in respect to such "vested" Shares by reason of a change in the capital
structure of the Company as provided above.
5. Rights Incident to Shares. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, Participant shall retain the right to vote the Shares and all other
rights incidental to the ownership of the Shares; provided, however, that any
cash dividends paid in respect to Shares that have not "vested" shall be used by
Participant to pay the balance due on the Note.
6. Participant hereby acknowledges that this transaction is subject to
his reading and understanding the Summary of Certain Tax Consequences of
Purchase of Restricted Stock attached hereto as Exhibit B.

7. Participant understands and agrees that the certificate(s) evidencing
the Shares shall bear a legend evidencing the restrictions set forth in this
Agreement and such other legend or legends as the Company may deem to be
necessary or appropriate.
8. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, representatives,
executors and successors of the parties hereto.
9. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the laws of the
state of California.
Executed at Irvine, California, as of the date first above written.
