NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) include the accounts of Harris Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (these “Notes”), the terms “Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Harris Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared by Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented therein. The results for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at June 30, 2017 has been derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. We provide complete, audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 (our “Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K”).
In connection with our divestitures in fiscal 2017 of two significant businesses that were part of our former Critical Networks segment, our remaining operations that had been part of our former Critical Networks segment were integrated with our Electronic Systems segment effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and our Critical Networks segment was eliminated. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present all segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from these segment changes. See Note B: Discontinued Operations in these Notes and Note 3: “Discontinued Operations and Divestitures” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K for additional information. Our historical results for all periods presented have been restated to account for businesses reported as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes relate solely to our continuing operations.
Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform with current-year classifications. Reclassifications include certain human resources and information technology (“IT”) costs from the “Cost of product sales and services” line item to the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) and in these Notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other information available prior to issuance of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
Restructuring, Exelis Acquisition-Related Integration and Other Charges
We record restructuring charges for sales or terminations of product lines, closures or relocations of business activities, changes in management structure, and fundamental reorganizations that affect the nature and focus of operations. Such charges include termination benefits, contract termination costs and costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees. We

5


record these charges at their fair value when incurred. In cases where employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits and will be retained beyond the minimum retention period, we record the expense ratably over the future service period. These charges are included as a component of the “Cost of product sales and services” and “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
In fiscal 2017, we recorded $58 million of charges for integration and other costs in connection with our acquisition of Exelis Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Exelis”), substantially all of which were included as a component of the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. We had liabilities of $34 million at December 29, 2017 and $43 million at June 30, 2017 associated with this integration activity and with previous restructuring actions. The majority of the remaining liabilities as of December 29, 2017 will be paid within the next twelve months.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we adopted an accounting standards update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that requires recognition of the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, this update eliminates the exception to the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity transfers of assets other than for inventory until the assets have been sold to an outside party. This update requires entities to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, entities are required to record deferred tax balances with an offset to retained earnings for unrecognized amounts that will be recognized under this update. We applied all changes required by this update using the modified retrospective approach from the beginning of fiscal 2018. Adopting this update resulted in a $27 million reduction of prepaid income tax assets from the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items and a $27 million increase in the “Non-current deferred income taxes” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of September 29, 2017.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and supersedes some cost guidance for construction-type and production-type contracts. The guidance in this standard is principles-based and, consequently, entities will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under prior guidance, including identifying contract performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the contract price and allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations. The core principle of this standard is that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing and potential uncertainty of the revenue that is recognized, this standard requires significantly more interim and annual disclosures. This standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption (application to all periods presented) or “modified retrospective” adoption (application to only the most current period presented in the financial statements, with certain additional required footnote disclosures). In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that deferred the effective date of the standard by one year, while continuing to permit entities to elect to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date. As a result, this standard is now effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is our fiscal 2019.
In preparation for the adoption of this standard, the project team we formed has made progress against the detailed implementation plan we developed, including in the following areas:
Completing an accounting guidance gap analysis, consisting of a review of significant revenue streams and     representative contracts to determine potential changes to our existing accounting policies and potential impacts to our consolidated financial statements;
Completing an inventory of our outstanding contracts and revenue streams;
Drafting a Company-wide revenue recognition policy reflecting the requirements of this standard and tailored to our businesses;
Providing Company-wide training to affected employees, including in the areas of accounting, finance, contracts, tax and segment management;
Applying the five-step model of this standard to our contracts and revenue streams to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impacts this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, accounting and operating policies, accounting systems, internal control structure and business practices; and
Initiating the process of reviewing the additional disclosure requirements of this standard and the potential impact on our accounting systems and internal control structure.

6


Although we are still in the process of evaluating and quantifying the impact of this standard as described above, we have identified certain changes we expect this standard to have on our consolidated financial statements. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, with revenue recognized using the percentage-of-completion (“POC”) method. We expect to recognize revenue on an “over time” basis for most of these contracts by using cost inputs to measure progress toward the completion of our performance obligations, which is similar to the POC cost-to-cost method currently used on the majority of these contracts. Consequently, we expect the adoption of this standard to impact certain of these contracts that recognize revenue using the POC units-of-delivery, milestone or other methods, resulting in recognition of revenue (and costs) earlier in the performance period as costs are incurred. We also are continuing to evaluate the potential impact of this standard in other areas, including:
The number of distinct performance obligations within our contractual arrangements;
Contract modifications;
The timing of revenue recognition based on the more prescriptive guidance for recognizing revenue on an “over time” basis, especially for certain non-U.S. Government contracts based on existing contractual language;
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract; and
Estimation and recognition of variable consideration for contracts to provide services.
Because of the broad scope of this standard, it could impact revenue and cost recognition across all of our business segments as well as related business processes and IT systems. As a result, our evaluation of the impact of this standard will continue over future periods. We also have not yet made a determination regarding the use of a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption approach for this standard, as this determination is primarily dependent on the completion of our analysis.
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease standard that supersedes existing lease guidance under GAAP. This standard requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to existing lease guidance under GAAP. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with the option to use certain relief. Full retrospective application is prohibited. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, which for us is our fiscal 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. This update requires that entities present components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost other than the service cost component separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from operations. This update must be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is our fiscal 2019. Adopting this update will result in a decrease in operating income and an increase in the net non-operating components of income from continuing operations of $164 million and $183 million for fiscal 2017 and 2018 , respectively. Adopting this update will not have a material impact on our financial position or cash flows.
Note B — Discontinued Operations
We completed two significant divestitures during fiscal 2017, the divestiture of our government IT services business (“IT Services”) and the divestiture of our Harris CapRock Communications commercial business (“CapRock”), which are described in more detail below. These divestitures individually and collectively represented a strategic shift away from non-core markets (for example, energy, maritime and government IT services). The decision to divest these businesses was part of our strategy to simplify our operating model to focus on technology-differentiated, high-margin businesses, and had a major effect on our operations and financial results.
As a result, IT Services and CapRock are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes, and our historical financial results have been restated to account for IT Services and CapRock as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes relate solely to our continuing operations.

IT Services
On April 28, 2017, we completed the divestiture to an affiliate of Veritas Capital Fund Management, L.L.C. (“Veritas”) of IT Services, which primarily provided IT and engineering managed services to U.S. Government customers, for net cash proceeds of $646 million , after transaction expenses and estimated purchase price adjustments in respect of net cash and working capital, and subject to post-closing finalization of those adjustments as set forth in the definitive sales agreement entered into January 26, 2017. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $28 million on the sale of IT Services (a gain of $55 million after certain tax benefits related to the transaction or $.44 per diluted share). The decision to divest IT Services was part of our strategy to simplify our operating model to focus on technology-differentiated, high-margin businesses. IT Services was part of our former Critical Networks segment and in connection with the definitive agreement to sell IT Services, as described above, the remaining operations that had been part of the Critical Networks segment, including our air traffic management (“ATM”) business, primarily serving the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), were integrated with our Electronic Systems segment effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and our Critical Networks segment was eliminated. We agreed to provide various transition services to Veritas for a period of up to 18 months following the closing of the transaction pursuant to a separate agreement.

CapRock
On January 1, 2017, we completed the divestiture to SpeedCast International Ltd. (“SpeedCast”) of CapRock, which provided wireless, terrestrial and satellite communications services to energy and maritime customers, for net cash proceeds of $368 million , after transaction expenses and purchase price adjustments in respect of net cash and working capital as set forth in the definitive sales agreement entered into November 1, 2016. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $14 million on the sale of CapRock (a gain of $61 million after certain tax benefits related to the transaction, including reversal of valuation allowances on capital losses and net operating losses, or $.49 per diluted share).

Note C — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation
During the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 , we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two shareholder-approved employee stock incentive plans (“SIPs”), the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 27, 2010) and the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 EIP”). Grants of share-based awards after October 23, 2015 were made under our 2015 EIP. We believe that share-based awards more closely align the interests of participants with those of shareholders. Certain share-based awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined under our SIPs). The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $13 million and $24 million for the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 , respectively, and $11 million and $21 million for the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 , respectively.
The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that we issued under the terms of our SIPs, net of shares withheld for tax purposes and inclusive of both continuing and discontinued operations, was 67,717 and 398,932 for the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 , respectively, and 191,740 and 733,953 for the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 , respectively. Awards granted to participants under our 2015 EIP during the quarter ended December 29, 2017 consisted of 698 stock options, 1,140 restricted shares and restricted units and 228 performance units.

Awards granted to participants under our 2015 EIP during the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 consisted of 412,285 stock options, 130,065 restricted shares and restricted units and 173,635 performance units. The fair value as of the grant date of each stock option award was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 1.82 percent ; expected volatility of 19.32 percent ; risk-free interest rates averaging 1.77 percent ; and expected term of 5.00 years. The fair value as of the grant date of each restricted share award and restricted unit award was based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value as of the grant date of each performance unit award was determined based on the fair value from a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulates our stock price and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to companies in our TSR peer group, less a discount to reflect the delay in payments of cash dividend-equivalents that are made only upon vesting.

On November 6, 2017, we completed the issuance and sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due April 30, 2020 (“ Floating Rate Notes ”). We incurred $2 million of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes , which are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the Floating Rate Notes , and such amortization is reflected as a portion of interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.48% per year. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing January 30, 2018. The Floating Rate Notes are not redeemable at our option prior to maturity. Upon a change of control combined with a below-investment-grade rating event, we may be required to make an offer to repurchase the Floating Rate Notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes being repurchased, plus accrued interest on the Floating Rate Notes being repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
In connection with the closing of the sale of the Floating Rate Notes , we used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay in full the $253 million in remaining outstanding indebtedness under the 5 -year tranche of our $1.3 billion senior unsecured term loan facility pursuant to our Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2015, and recognized a $1 million extinguishment loss, which is included as a component of the “Non-operating income (loss)” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited), as a result of associated unamortized debt issuance costs. For additional information on our long-term debt, see Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K.

$1 million of the service cost component of net periodic benefit income is included as a component of the “Discontinued operations, net of income taxes” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the two quarters ended December 30, 2016
We made a $400 million voluntary contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans during fiscal 2 017. As a result, we made no contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans and minor contributions to our non-U.S. pension plan during the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 . We currently anticipate making voluntary contributions of approximately $300 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans an d contributions of approximately $1 million to our non-U.S. pension plan during the remainder of fiscal 2018. We contributed $39 million and $103 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 , respectively.
The U.S. Salaried Retirement Plan (“U.S. SRP”), a U.S. qualified pension plan, is our largest defined benefit pension plan, with assets valued at $4.4 billion and a projected benefit obligation of $5.6 billion as of June 30, 2017. Effective December 31, 2016, future benefit accruals under the U.S. SRP benefit formula were frozen for all employees and replaced with a 1% cash balance defined benefit formula for certain non-highly compensated employees.

Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options and performance unit awards. Employee stock options to purchase approximately 222 and 1,200,708 shares of our common stock were outstanding at December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016 , respectively, but were not included as dilutive stock options in the computations of income from continuing operations per diluted common share because the effect would have been antidilutive.
Note L — Income Taxes
Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” was signed into U.S. law (“Tax Act”). Among other provisions, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate from a maximum 35 percent to a flat 21 percent , effective January 1, 2018. Based on our fiscal year end, our blended U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate for fiscal 2018 will be 28 percent . Our deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, represent anticipated corporate tax benefits to be realized in the future, and the reduction in the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate reduced these benefits. As a result, we recognized income tax expense in our tax provision in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to adjust our deferred tax balances to reflect the lower U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate.
Income tax expense for the quarter ended December 29, 2017 included the following adjustments to reflect impacts from the Tax Act:
A $52 million ( $.43 per diluted share) estimated write-down of existing net deferred tax asset balances based on the lower tax rate and other law changes; and
A $26 million ( $.21 per diluted share) benefit from the impact of our lower estimated fiscal 2018 tax rate.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 39.3 percent in the quarter ended December 29, 2017 compared with 30.6 percent in the quarter ended December 30, 2016 . In addition to the impacts from the Tax Act described above, our effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 29, 2017 benefited from a $22 million ( $.18 per diluted share) favorable impact of releasing provisions for uncertain tax positions and the favorable impact of differences in GAAP and tax accounting related to investments. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 30, 2016 was not impacted by any significant discrete item.
Our effective tax rate was 33.5 percent in the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 compared with 29.7 percent in the two quarters ended December 30, 2016 . In addition to the items noted above for the quarters ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016 , our effective tax rate for the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016 benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation.
We have not fully completed our accounting for the income tax impact from the Tax Act enactment. For certain items, we have made a reasonable estimate of the impact on our existing net deferred income tax balances as of December 29, 2017, which is represented by the $52 million estimated adjustment from the revaluation of net deferred tax asset balances described above. For other items, we have not been able to make a reasonable estimate and continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to Tax Act enactment.

14


Provisional Amounts
We remeasured certain deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the rate at which we expect them to reverse in the future, which generally is 28 percent for reversals in fiscal 2018 or 21 percent for reversals after fiscal 2018. However, we are still evaluating certain aspects of the Tax Act and refining our calculations, which potentially affects our current estimated valuation of our net deferred income tax assets and could give rise to new deferred tax amounts.
Although the Tax Act affects the tax treatment of foreign earnings and profits (“E&P”) and results in a one-time transition tax on our post-1986 foreign E&P that we have previously deferred from U.S. income tax expense, we have provisionally determined that we will not owe any transition tax. However, we are still refining our calculations, which include estimates for our fiscal 2017 and 2018 layers for foreign E&P, and they could change and therefore change the amount of transition tax we will owe.
Because of the potential impact of deficit allocations on the tax basis for netted foreign E&P of related foreign subsidiaries, we are maintaining a deferred tax liability of approximately $25 million in respect of potential cumulative tax basis differences of $116 million . New statutory or regulatory guidance and further analysis may result in a change in our conclusion as to the need for a deferred tax liability in respect of these cumulative tax basis differences. Other than this deferred tax liability, we have provided for no additional income taxes on any remaining undistributed foreign E&P not subject to the transition tax, or any outside tax basis differences inherent in our foreign subsidiaries, because all other amounts continue to be reinvested indefinitely.
We anticipate future impacts at a U.S. state and local tax level related to the Tax Act; however, statutory and interpretive guidance is not available from applicable state and local tax authorities to reasonably estimate the impact. Consequently, we have not recorded provisional amounts and have continued to apply ASC 740 based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to Tax Act enactment.
Note M — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value, and to utilize a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, and reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed using the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain instances, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. In obtaining such data from the external pricing services, we have evaluated the methodologies used to develop the estimate of fair value in order to assess whether such valuations are representative of fair value, including net asset value (“NAV”). Additionally, in certain circumstances, the NAV reported by an asset manager may be adjusted when sufficient evidence indicates NAV is not representative of fair value.

Primarily represents obligations to pay benefits under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Compensation and benefits” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Under these plans, participants designate investment options (including money market, stock and fixed-income funds), which serve as the basis for measurement of the notional value of their accounts.

Fair value was estimated using a market approach based on quoted market prices for our debt traded in the secondary market. If our long-term debt in our balance sheet were measured at fair value, it would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Note N — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks and formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We recognize all derivatives in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes.
At December 29, 2017 , we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $34 million , all of which were classified as cash flow hedges. This compares with open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $33 million at June 30, 2017 , of which $2 million were classified as fair value hedges and $31 million were classified as cash flow hedges. At December 29, 2017 , contract expiration dates ranged from 11 days to approximately 6 months with a weighted average contract life of 4 months .

16


Fair Value Hedges
We have used foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge certain balance sheet items, including foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and inventory. As of December 29, 2017 , we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to hedge balance sheet items. The net gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges were not material in the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 or in the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 . In addition, no amounts were recognized in earnings in the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 or in the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges
We use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments and also have hedged U.S. Dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. As of December 29, 2017 , we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the Euro and British Pound to hedge certain forecasted transactions. The net gains or losses from cash flow hedges recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income, including gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not material in the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 or in the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 .
Note O — Changes in Estimates
Estimate at Completion Adjustments
Estimates and assumptions, and changes therein, are important in connection with, among others, our segments’ revenue recognition policies related to development and production contracts. Revenue and profit related to development and production contracts are recognized using the POC method, generally based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion under the contract (i.e., the “cost-to-cost” method) or the ratio of actual units delivered to estimated total units to be delivered under the contract (i.e., the “units-of-delivery” method) with consideration given for risk of performance and estimated profit. Revenue and profit on cost-reimbursable development and production contracts are recognized as allowable costs are incurred on the contract and become billable to the customer, in an amount equal to the allowable costs plus the profit on those costs.
Development and production contracts are combined when specific aggregation criteria are met. Criteria generally include closely interrelated activities performed for a single customer within the same economic environment. Development and production contracts are generally not segmented. If development and production contracts are segmented, we have determined that they meet specific segmenting criteria. Change orders, claims or other items that may change the scope of a development or production contract are included in contract value only when the value can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Possible incentives or penalties and award fees applicable to performance on development and production contracts are considered in estimating contract value and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. Incentive provisions that increase earnings based solely on a single significant event are generally not recognized until the event occurs. We are party to certain contracts with incentive provisions or award fees that are subject to uncertainty until the conclusion of the contract, and our customers may be entitled to reclaim and receive previous award fee payments.
Under the POC method of accounting, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each development and production contract over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on a fixed-price development or production contract requires estimates of the total cost at completion and the measurement of progress toward completion. The estimated profit or loss on a development or production contract is equal to the difference between the estimated contract value and the estimated total cost at completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our programs, developing the estimated total cost at completion often requires judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance, the risk and impact of delayed performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer and the recoverability of any claims outside the original development or production contract included in the estimate to complete. At the outset of each contract, we gauge its complexity and perceived risks and establish an estimated total cost at completion in line with these expectations. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, we follow a standard Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which we review the progress and performance on our ongoing development and production contracts at least quarterly and, in many cases, more frequently. If we successfully retire risks associated with the technical, schedule and cost aspects of a contract, we may lower our estimated total cost at completion commensurate with the retirement of these risks. Conversely, if we are not successful in retiring these risks, we may increase our estimated total cost at completion. Additionally, at the outset of a cost-reimbursable contract (for example, contracts containing award or incentive fees), we establish an estimate of total contract value, or revenue, based on our expectation of performance on the contract. As the cost-reimbursable contract progresses, our estimates of total contract value may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive

17


higher or lower than expected award fees. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimated total contract value are determined, the related impact to operating income is recognized using the cumulative catch-up method, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of such adjustments for all prior periods. Anticipated losses on development and production contracts or programs in progress are charged to operating income when identified. Net EAC adjustments resulting from changes in estimates impacted our operating income unfavorably by $10 million ( $7 million after-tax or $.06 per diluted share) and favorably by $1 million in the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 , respectively, and favorably by $6 million ( $4 million after-tax or $.03 per diluted share) and $19 million ( $12 million after-tax or $.10 per diluted share) in the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 , respectively.
Income Taxes
See Note L — Income Taxes in these Notes for changes in estimates disclosures associated with our accounting for income taxes.
Note P — Business Segments
We structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we sell and the markets we serve, and we report the financial results of our continuing operations in the following three reportable segments, which are also referred to as our business segments:
Communication Systems, serving markets in tactical communications and defense products, including tactical ground and airborne radio communications solutions and night vision technology, and in public safety networks;
Electronic Systems, providing electronic warfare, avionics, and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“C4ISR”) solutions for the defense industry and ATM solutions for the civil aviation industry; and
Space and Intelligence Systems, providing intelligence, space protection, geospatial, complete Earth observation, universe exploration, positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”), and environmental solutions for national security, defense, civil and commercial customers, using advanced sensors, antennas and payloads, as well as ground processing and information analytics.
As described in more detail in “Basis of Presentation” in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards and Note B — Discontinued Operations in these Notes, in connection with our divestiture of CapRock and entering into the definitive agreement to sell IT Services in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, our other remaining operations that had been part of our former Critical Networks segment, including our ATM business primarily serving the FAA, were integrated with our Electronic Systems segment effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and our Critical Networks segment was eliminated. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present all segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from these segment changes. Our historical results and discussion for all periods presented have been restated to account for businesses reported as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes.
The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its operating income or loss, which we define as profit or loss from operations before income taxes excluding interest income and expense, royalties and related intellectual property expenses, equity method investment income or loss and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales are generally transferred at cost to the buying segment, and the sourcing segment recognizes a profit that is eliminated. The “Corporate eliminations” and “Corporate eliminations, net” line items in the table below represent the elimination of intersegment sales and their related profits. The “Unallocated corporate expense” line item in the table below represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments.

Unallocated corporate expense included (i) a $12 million adjustment for deferred compensation in the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 , (ii) $13 million and $30 million of Exelis acquisition-related charges in the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 , respectively, and (iii) $25 million and $50 million of expense in the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 , respectively, compared with $28 million and $55 million of expense in the quarter and two quarters ended December 30, 2016 , respectively, for amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of our acquisition of Exelis. Because the acquisition of Exelis benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment, the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Exelis acquisition was recorded as unallocated corporate expense.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Exelis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 were recorded as Corporate assets because they benefit the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment. Exelis identifiable intangible asset balances recorded as Corporate assets were approximately $1 billion as of December 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017 . Corporate assets also consisted of cash, income taxes receivable, deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan assets and buildings and equipment.

Note Q — Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of businesses in which we are or were engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and litigation or arbitration is commenced by or against us arising from or related to matters, including but not limited to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property; labor and employee disputes; commercial or contractual disputes; strategic acquisitions or divestitures; the prior sale or use of former products allegedly containing asbestos or other restricted materials; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. Claimed amounts against us may be substantial, but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred. At December 29, 2017 , our accrual for the potential resolution of lawsuits, claims or proceedings that we consider probable of being decided unfavorably to us was not material. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, it is reasonably possible that some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of or decided unfavorably to us and in excess of the amounts currently accrued. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at December 29, 2017 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous U.S. Federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of multiple sites, including as a result of our acquisition of Exelis. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in some of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by us or companies we have acquired, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent state and international laws. For example, Exelis received notice in June 2014 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Environment and Natural Resources Division, that it may be potentially responsible for contribution to the environmental investigation and remediation of multiple locations in Alaska. In addition, the EPA issued on March 4, 2016, a record of decision selecting a remedy for the lower 8.3 mile stretch of the Lower Passaic River. The EPA’s selected remedy included dredging the river bank to bank, installing an engineered cap and long-term monitoring. The EPA estimated the cost of the cleanup project will be $1.38 billion . On March 31, 2016, the EPA notified over 100 potentially responsible parties, including Exelis, of their potential liability for the cost of the cleanup project but their respective allocations have not been determined. We have found no evidence that Exelis contributed any of the primary contaminants of concern to the Passaic River. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter and we believe our ultimate costs will not be material. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these environmental claims, based on available information, in the opinion of management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of environmental claims in existence at December 29, 2017 are reserved against, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harris Corporation
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation as of December 29, 2017 , and the related unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the quarter and two quarters ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016 , and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016 . These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation as of June 30, 2017 , and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated August 29, 2017. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation as of June 30, 2017 , is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to assist in an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this MD&A contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in this MD&A under “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results.”
The following is a list of the sections of this MD&A, together with our perspective on their contents, which we hope will assist in reading these pages:
Results of Operations — an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and the results in each of our business segments, to the extent the segment operating results are helpful to an understanding of our business as a whole, for the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Strategies  — an analysis of cash flows, funding of pension plans, common stock repurchases, dividends, capital structure and resources, off-balance sheet arrangements and commercial commitments and contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates  — information about accounting policies that require critical judgments and estimates and about accounting standards that have been issued, but are not yet effective for us, and their potential impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results  — cautionary information about forward-looking statements and a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or our current expectations or projections.
We report the financial results of our continuing operations in the following three segments, which are also referred to as our business segments:
Communication Systems, serving markets in tactical communications and defense products, including tactical ground and airborne radio communications solutions and night vision technology, and in public safety networks;
Electronic Systems, providing electronic warfare, avionics, and C4ISR solutions for the defense industry and ATM solutions for the civil aviation industry; and
Space and Intelligence Systems, providing intelligence, space protection, geospatial, complete Earth observation, universe exploration, PNT, and environmental solutions for national security, defense, civil and commercial customers, using advanced sensors, antennas and payloads, as well as ground processing and information analytics.
As described in more detail in “Basis of Presentation” in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards and Note B — Discontinued Operations in the Notes, in connection with our divestiture of CapRock and entering into the definitive agreement to sell IT Services in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, our other remaining operations that had been part of our former Critical Networks segment, including our ATM business primarily serving the FAA, were integrated with our Electronic Systems segment effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and our Critical Networks segment was eliminated. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes and this MD&A reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present all segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from these segment changes.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform with current-year classifications. Reclassifications include certain human resources and IT costs from the “Cost of product sales and services” line item to the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) and in the Notes.
Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.

Revenue
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The increase in revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to higher revenue in our Communication Systems and Electronic Systems segments, partially offset by a slight revenue decline in our Space and Intelligence Systems segment.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The revenue increase in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was due to higher revenue in all three segments.
See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.
Gross Margin
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The slight increase in gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to higher revenue in our Communication Systems segment, mostly offset by a $22 million favorable contract settlement on the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (“ADS-B”) program in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 in our Electronic Systems segment and a reduction in benefits from net EAC adjustments in our Electronic Systems segment.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The slight decrease in gross margin in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to an unfavorable impact from the ADS-B program, including the favorable contract settlement in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and the program transition from build-out to sustainment, mostly offset by higher revenue in our Communication Systems segment.
See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.
Gross Margin Percentage
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The slight decrease in gross margin as a percentage of total revenue (“gross margin percentage”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the impact of the $22 million favorable contract settlement on the ADS-B program in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and a reduction in benefits from net EAC adjustments in our Electronic Systems segment, mostly offset by the impact of higher revenue in our Communication Systems segment.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The slight decrease in gross margin percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the same reasons as noted above regarding the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .
See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The increase in engineering, selling and administrative (“ESA”) expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a $12 million adjustment for deferred compensation in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and higher research and development expenses, partially offset by cost containment and not incurring in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 any Exelis acquisition-related charges, which totaled $13 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. ESA as a percentage of total revenue (“ESA percentage”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was comparable with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as the increase in ESA expenses was offset by the increase in revenue.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The decreases in ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to cost containment and not incurring in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 any Exelis acquisition-related charges, which totaled $30 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2017, partially offset by the effect of the other items discussed above regarding the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017.
See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.
Operating Income
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The decreases in operating income and operating income as a percentage of total revenue (“operating margin percentage”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in this “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion regarding the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .

24


First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The increase in operating income and comparability of operating margin percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in this “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion regarding the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .
Income Taxes
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 39.3 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with 30.6 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 . In the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , our effective tax rate was impacted by a $52 million estimated write-down of existing net deferred tax asset balances due to the enactment of lower U.S. statutory corporate income tax rates and other tax law changes, partially offset by a $26 million benefit from the corresponding impact of our lower estimated fiscal 2018 tax rate, a $22 million favorable impact of releasing provisions for uncertain tax positions and the favorable impact of differences in GAAP and tax accounting related to investments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2017 , our effective tax rate was not impacted by any significant discrete item.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : Our effective tax rate was 33.5 percent in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with 29.7 percent in the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 . In addition to the items noted above for the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 , our effective tax rate for the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation.
Income From Continuing Operations
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The decrease in income from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in this “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion regarding the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The slight decrease in income from continuing operations in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in this “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion regarding the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .
Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Common Share
Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The decrease in income from continuing operations per diluted common share in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to lower income from continuing operations, partially offset by fewer diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to repurchases of shares of common stock under our repurchase program during the last two quarters of fiscal 2017 and first two quarters of fiscal 2018 .
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to fewer diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to repurchases of shares of common stock under our repurchase program during the last two quarters of fiscal 2017 and first two quarters of fiscal 2018 .

Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The increase in segment revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $57 million of higher U.S. Department of Defense tactical communications sales from readiness demand across all of the Services and $15 million of higher international tactical communications sales, driven by strong growth in the Middle East.
The increase in segment gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the increase in revenue. The 2 percentage point decrease in segment gross margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a less favorable mix of program and product revenue. The increase in segment ESA expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to higher selling costs, reflecting the higher international tactical communications sales, and higher employment costs. The 2 percentage point decrease in segment ESA percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the increase in segment revenue and cost containment.
The increase in segment operating income and comparability of segment operating margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 reflected the combined effects of the items discussed above regarding this segment.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The increases in segment revenue and segment gross margin in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to the same reasons as noted above regarding this segment for the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017.
Segment gross margin percentage for the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 decreased slightly compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 primarily due to the same reasons as noted above regarding this segment for the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 , partially offset by the benefit of operational excellence improvements. The decreases in segment ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to cost containment.
The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 reflected the combined effects of the items discussed above regarding this segment for the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .

Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The increase in segment revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $25 million of higher revenue from avionics and C4ISR programs and higher revenue in wireless solutions, partially offset by a $22 million favorable contract settlement on the ADS-B program in our mission networks business in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
Segment gross margin decreased $29 million and segment gross margin percentage decreased 6 percentage points in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily due to the $22 million favorable contract settlement on the ADS-B program in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and a reduction in benefits from net EAC adjustments, partially offset by the gross margin impact of higher volume in avionics and C4ISR. The increases in segment ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to higher R&D expenses.
The decreases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 reflected the combined effects of the items discussed above regarding this segment.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The increase in segment revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $42 million of higher revenue in avionics and C4ISR programs and $13 million of incremental inception-to-date services revenue in our ATM business, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from the ADS-B program, including the favorable contract settlement in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and the program transition from build-out to sustainment.
Segment gross margin decreased $33 million and segment gross margin percentage decreased 3 percentage points in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 primarily due to a $36 million unfavorable impact from the ADS-B program, including the favorable contract settlement in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and the program transition from build-out to sustainment. The increase in segment ESA expenses and comparability of ESA percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to higher R&D expenses and the impact of higher segment revenue.

Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The slight decrease in segment revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $9 million of lower civil revenue reflecting the impact of lower revenue from environmental programs, partially offset by higher revenue from classified programs and commercial customers.
The increases in segment gross margin and gross margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were primarily attributable to higher pension income and productivity savings. The slight increases in segment ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were due to higher direct selling costs.
The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 reflected the combined effects of the items discussed above regarding this segment.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The increase in segment revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $26 million of higher revenue from classified programs, primarily driven by space superiority programs, partially offset by lower civil revenue primarily driven by lower revenue from environmental programs.
The increases in segment gross margin, gross margin percentage, ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 were primarily due to the same reasons as noted above regarding this segment for the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .

Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The increase in unallocated corporate expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a $12 million adjustment for deferred compensation in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, increased investment in business development and the timing of other expense accruals, partially offset by the absence of Exelis acquisition-related charges, which totaled $13 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 .
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The decrease in unallocated corporate expense in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to not incurring in

Our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) includes cash flows from discontinued operations related to CapRock, IT Services and our former broadcast communications business (“Broadcast Communications”). See Note B — Discontinued Operations in the Notes for additional information regarding discontinued operations, including depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), the accompanying Notes and this MD&A relate solely to our continuing operations.
Cash and cash equivalents: The $62 million net decrease in cash and cash equivalents from the end of fiscal 2017 to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was primarily due to $150 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock; $137 million used to pay cash dividends; $115 million of net repayment of borrowings, which included repayment in full of the remaining $253 million in outstanding indebtedness under the 5-year tranche of our variable-rate term loans due May 29, 2020, $75 million of repayment of short-term debt outstanding under our commercial paper program and $250 million in proceeds from the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes due April 2020; and $43 million used for net additions of property, plant and equipment; partially offset by $373 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $18 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options. The $126 million net decrease in cash and cash equivalents from the end of fiscal 2016 to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $134 million used to pay cash dividends; $115 million of net repayment of borrowings, which included repayment of the entire outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% notes due October 1, 2016; $100 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock; $49 million used for net additions of property, plant and equipment; $25 million for adjustments to proceeds from the sale of a business and $19 million used in other financing activities; partially offset by $295 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $27 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options.
At December 29, 2017 , we had cash and cash equivalents of $422 million , and we have a senior unsecured $1 billion revolving credit facility that expires in July 2020 (all of which was available to us as of December 29, 2017 ). Additionally, we had $3.9 billion of long-term debt outstanding at December 29, 2017 , the majority of which we incurred in connection with our acquisition of Exelis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. For further information regarding our long-term debt, see Note I — Long-Term Debt in the Notes and Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. Our $422 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 29, 2017 included $133 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $82 million was considered permanently reinvested. Determining the future tax cost of repatriating such funds to the U.S. is not practical at this time, because the cost impact of the rules regarding the netting of earnings of related foreign subsidiaries is subject to clarification. However, we have no current plans to repatriate such funds.
Given our current cash position, outlook for funds generated from operations, credit ratings, available credit facility, cash needs and debt structure, we have not experienced to date, and do not expect to experience, any material issues with

29


liquidity, although we can give no assurances concerning our future liquidity, particularly in light of our overall level of debt, U.S. Government budget uncertainties and the state of global commerce and financial uncertainty.
We also currently believe that existing cash, funds generated from operations, our credit facility and access to the public and private debt and equity markets will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase program, repayments of our term loan and debt securities at maturity and potential voluntary pension contributions for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. Our total capital expenditures in fiscal 2018 are expected to be approximately $130 million. We anticipate tax payments in fiscal 2018 to be approximately equal to or marginally less than our tax expense for the same period, subject to adjustment for certain timing differences. Other than those cash outlays noted in “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K (including repayment at maturity of the entire $500 million principal amount of our 1.999% Notes due April 27, 2018) and “Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations” below in this MD&A, capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase program and potential voluntary pension contributions, no other significant cash outlays are anticipated during the remainder of fiscal 2018 .
There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flows at current levels or that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our commercial paper program or our credit facility or in the debt markets will not be impacted by any potential future credit or capital markets disruptions. If we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, reduce or eliminate strategic acquisitions, reduce or terminate our share repurchases, reduce or eliminate dividends, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. Our ability to make principal payments or pay interest on or refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense, government and other markets we serve and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.
Net cash provided by operating activities: The $78 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to lower cash income tax payments and the elimination of required qualified pension plan contributions due to our $400 million voluntary contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans during fiscal 2017 (see the “Funding of Pension Plans” discussion below in this MD&A for additional information), partially offset by higher relative accounts receivable balances and by cash flows from discontinued operations that are included in the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 .
Net cash used in investing activities: The $29 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a $25 million adjustment in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the proceeds from the sale of Broadcast Communications.
Net cash used in financing activities: The $53 million increase in net cash used in financing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $50 million more used to repurchase shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program.
Funding of Pension Plans
Funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations are a major consideration in making contributions to our U.S. pension plans. Although we have significant discretion in making voluntary contributions, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and further amended by the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”), and applicable Internal Revenue Code regulations mandate minimum funding thresholds. Failure to satisfy the minimum funding thresholds could result in restrictions on our ability to amend the plans or make benefit payments. With respect to our U.S. qualified pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds.
The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 further extended the interest rate stabilization provision of MAP-21 until 2020. We made a $400 million voluntary contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans during fiscal 2017. As a result, we made no contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 . We currently anticipate making voluntary contributions of approximately $300 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of fiscal 2018.
Future required contributions primarily will depend on the actual annual return on assets and the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at the end of each year. Depending on these factors, and the resulting funded status of our pension plans, the level of future statutory required minimum contributions could be material. We had net unfunded defined benefit plan obligations of $1.2 billion at December 29, 2017 . See Note 14: “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K and Note J — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information regarding our pension plans.

Common Stock Repurchases
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 , we used $150 million to repurchase 1,153,811 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $130.10 , including commissions of $.02 per share. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 , we used $100 million to repurchase 1,100,203 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program at an average price per share of $90.45 , including commissions of $.02 per share. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , $10 million and $19 million , respectively, in shares of our common stock were delivered to us or withheld by us to satisfy withholding taxes on employee share-based awards. Shares purchased by us are cancelled and retired.
As of December 29, 2017 , we had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $823 million under our repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. Repurchases under our repurchase program are expected to be funded with available cash and commercial paper and may be made through open market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Additional information regarding our repurchase program is set forth in this Report under Part II. Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Dividends
On August 25, 2017, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend rate on our common stock from $.53 per share to $.57 per share, for an annualized cash dividend rate of $2.28 per share, which was our sixteenth consecutive annual increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate. Our annualized cash dividend rate in fiscal 2017 was $2.12 per share. There can be no assurances that our annualized cash dividend rate will continue to increase. Quarterly cash dividends are typically paid in March, June, September and December. We currently expect that cash dividends will continue to be paid in the near future, but we can give no assurances concerning payment of future dividends. The declaration of dividends and the amount thereof will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Capital Structure and Resources
2015 Credit Agreement:  We have a $1 billion, 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2015 Credit Facility”) under a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2015 Credit Agreement”) entered into on July 1, 2015 with a syndicate of lenders. For a description of the 2015 Credit Facility and the 2015 Credit Agreement, see Note 11: “Credit Arrangements” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K.
We were in compliance with the covenants in the 2015 Credit Agreement at December 29, 2017 , including the covenant requiring that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement, to be greater than 0.65 to 1.00. At December 29, 2017 , we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Credit Agreement.
Long-Term Debt: For a description of our long-term variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, see Note I — Long-Term Debt
in the Notes and Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we completed the issuance and sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020 and used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay in full the $253 million in remaining outstanding indebtedness under the 5 -year tranche of our $1.3 billion senior unsecured term loan facility pursuant to our Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2015.
Short-Term Debt: Our short-term debt at December 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017 was $5 million and $80 million, respectively. Our short-term debt at December 29, 2017 consisted of local borrowing by international subsidiaries for working capital needs. Our short-term debt at June 30, 2017 consisted of local borrowing by international subsidiaries for working capital needs and commercial paper. Our commercial paper program was supported at December 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017 by the 2015 Credit Facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In accordance with the definition under SEC rules, any of the following qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements:
Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;
A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;
Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under certain derivative instruments; and

31


Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, the registrant, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the registrant, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the registrant.
As of December 29, 2017 , we were not participating in any material transactions that generated relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we did not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of December 29, 2017 , we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and we were not a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We have, from time to time, divested certain of our businesses and assets. In connection with these divestitures, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks and unknown liabilities, such as environmental liabilities and tax liabilities. We cannot estimate the potential liability from such representations, warranties and indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. We do not believe, however, that the liabilities relating to these representations, warranties and indemnities will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Due to our downsizing of certain operations pursuant to acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring plans or otherwise, certain properties leased by us have been sublet to third parties. In the event any of these third parties vacates any of these premises, we would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. We believe that the financial risk of default by such sublessees is individually and in the aggregate not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations
The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K include our contractual obligations and commercial commitments. Except for changes in our long-term debt as described under “Capital Structure and Resources” in this MD&A, no material changes occurred during the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to purchase goods and services, to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments, or in our contingent liabilities on outstanding surety bonds, standby letters of credit or other arrangements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from our estimates. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition on contracts and contract estimates (discussed in greater detail in the following paragraphs), (ii) postretirement benefit plans, (iii) provisions for excess and obsolete inventory losses, (iv) impairment testing of goodwill, and (v) income taxes and tax valuation allowances. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
A significant portion of our business is derived from development and production contracts. Revenue and profit related to development and production contracts are recognized using the POC method, generally based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion under the contract (i.e., the “cost-to-cost” method) or the ratio of actual units delivered to estimated total units to be delivered under the contract (i.e., the “units-of-delivery” method) with consideration given for risk of performance and estimated profit. The majority of the revenue in our Space and Intelligence Systems and Electronic Systems segments (and to a certain extent, revenue in our Communication Systems segment) relates to development and production contracts, and the POC method of revenue recognition is primarily used for these contracts. Change orders, claims or other items that may change the scope of a development or production contract are included in contract value only when the value can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Possible incentives or penalties and award fees applicable to performance on development and production contracts are considered in estimating contract value and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. Incentive provisions that increase earnings based solely on a single significant event are generally not recognized until the event occurs. We are party to certain contracts with incentive provisions or award fees that are subject to uncertainty until the conclusion of the contract, and our customers may be entitled to reclaim and receive previous award fee payments.

32


Under the POC method of accounting, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each development and production contract over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on fixed-price development and production contracts requires estimates of the total cost at completion and the measurement of progress toward completion. The estimated profit or loss on a development or production contract is equal to the difference between the estimated contract value and the estimated total cost at completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our programs, developing the estimated total cost at completion often requires judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance, the risk and impact of delayed performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer and the recoverability of any claims outside the original development or production contract included in the estimate to complete. At the outset of each contract, we gauge its complexity and perceived risks and establish an estimated total cost at completion in line with these expectations. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, we follow a standard estimate at completion (“EAC”) process in which we review the progress and performance on our ongoing development and production contracts at least quarterly and, in many cases, more frequently. If we successfully retire risks associated with the technical, schedule and cost aspects of a contract, we may lower our estimated total cost at completion commensurate with the retirement of these risks. Conversely, if we are not successful in retiring these risks, we may increase our estimated total cost at completion. Additionally, at the outset of a cost-reimbursable contract (for example, contracts containing award or incentive fees), we establish an estimate of total contract value, or revenue, based on our expectation of performance on the contract. As the cost-reimbursable contract progresses, our estimates of total contract value may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive higher or lower than expected award fees. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimated total contract value are determined, the related impact to operating income is recognized using the cumulative catch-up method, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of such adjustments for all prior periods. Anticipated losses on development and production contracts or programs in progress are charged to operating income when identified. We have not made any material changes in the methodologies used to recognize revenue on development and production contracts or to estimate our costs related to development and production contracts in the past three fiscal years.

Second Quarter 2018 Compared With Second Quarter 2017 : The reduction in benefit to operating income from net EAC adjustments in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a $15 million adjustment for growth in EAC costs on a mission networks infrastructure development program.
First Two Quarters 2018 Compared With First Two Quarters 2017 : The reduction in benefit to operating income from net EAC adjustments in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 compared with the first two quarters of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the same reason as noted above regarding the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 .
We also recognize revenue from arrangements requiring the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables or elements under a bundled sale. In these arrangements, judgment is required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the individual deliverables represent separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and the timing of revenue recognition for each deliverable. If we determine that individual deliverables represent separate units of accounting, we recognize the revenue associated with each unit of accounting separately, and contract revenue is allocated among the separate units of accounting at the inception of the arrangement based on relative selling price. If options or change orders materially change the scope of work or price of the contract subsequent to inception, we reevaluate and adjust our prior conclusions regarding units of accounting and allocation of contract revenue as necessary. The allocation of selling price among the separate units of accounting may impact the timing of revenue recognition, but will not change the total revenue recognized on the arrangement. We establish the selling price used for each deliverable based on the vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of selling price, or third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price if VSOE of selling price is not available, or best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price is available. In determining VSOE of selling price, a substantial majority of the recent standalone sales of the deliverable must be priced within a relatively narrow range. In determining TPE of selling price, we evaluate competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. Generally, comparable pricing of our products to those of our competitors with similar functionality cannot be obtained. In determining BESP, we consider both market data and entity-specific factors, including market conditions, the geographies in which our products are sold, our competitive position and strategy, and our profit objectives.

33


The FASB has issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and will be effective for us in fiscal 2019. See Note A: Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards in the Notes for additional information.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting standards that have been recently issued, but are not yet effective for us, are described in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards in the Notes, which describes the potential impact that these standards are expected to have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
This Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that may not materialize or prove to be correct, which could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations; new products, systems, technologies, services or developments; future economic conditions, performance or outlook; future political conditions; the outcome of contingencies; the potential level of share repurchases, dividends or pension contributions; potential acquisitions or divestitures; the value of contract awards and programs; expected cash flows or capital expenditures; our beliefs or expectations; activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects” and similar words or expressions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s opinions only as of the date of filing of this Report and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Forward-looking statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The following are some of the factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or our current expectations or projections:
We depend on U.S. Government customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of these relationships, a reduction in U.S. Government funding or a change in U.S. Government spending priorities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We depend significantly on U.S. Government contracts, which often are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination, and heavily regulated and audited. The termination or failure to fund, or negative audit findings for, one or more of these contracts could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We could be negatively impacted by a security breach, through cyber attack, cyber intrusion, insider threats or otherwise, or other significant disruption of our IT networks and related systems or of those we operate for certain of our customers.
The U.S. Government’s budget deficit, the national debt and sequestration, as well as the U.S. Government’s inability to complete its budget process and consequently having to operate pursuant to a “continuing resolution” or shut down, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The level of returns on defined benefit plan assets, changes in interest rates and other factors could affect our earnings and cash flows in future periods.
We enter into fixed-price contracts that could subject us to losses in the event of cost overruns or a significant increase in inflation.
We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from international operations and are subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners.
We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary export licenses to conduct certain operations abroad, and Congress may prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments.
Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new products, systems, services and technologies that achieve market acceptance in our current and future markets.
We participate in markets that are often subject to uncertain economic conditions, which makes it difficult to estimate growth in our markets and, as a result, future income and expenditures.
We cannot predict the consequences of future geo-political events, but they may adversely affect the markets in which we operate, our ability to insure against risks, our operations or our profitability.

34


We have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions and divestitures that involve significant risks and uncertainties.
Disputes with our subcontractors and the inability of our subcontractors to perform, or our key suppliers to timely deliver our components, parts or services, could cause our products, systems or services to be produced or delivered in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.
Third parties have claimed in the past and may claim in the future that we are infringing directly or indirectly upon their intellectual property rights, and third parties may infringe upon our intellectual property rights.
The outcome of litigation or arbitration in which we are involved from time to time is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be covered adequately by insurance or indemnity.
Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our level of indebtedness and our ability to make payments on or service our indebtedness and our unfunded defined benefit plans liability may adversely affect our financial and operating activities or our ability to incur additional debt.
A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business.
Unforeseen environmental issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have significant operations in locations that could be materially and adversely impacted in the event of a natural disaster or other significant disruption.
Changes in future business or other market conditions could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill or other long-term assets to become impaired, resulting in substantial losses and write-downs that would adversely affect our results of operations.
Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, so our business could be harmed in the event of a prolonged work stoppage.
We must attract and retain key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.
We may be responsible for U.S. Federal income tax liabilities that relate to the spin-off of Vectrus, Inc. (“Vectrus”) completed by Exelis.
In connection with the Vectrus spin-off, Vectrus indemnified Exelis for certain liabilities and Exelis indemnified Vectrus for certain liabilities. This indemnity may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of the liabilities assumed by Vectrus and Vectrus may be unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations to us in the future.
The Vectrus spin-off may expose us to potential liabilities arising out of state and Federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal distribution requirements.
The ITT Corporation (“ITT”) spin-off of Exelis may expose us to potential liabilities arising out of state and Federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal distribution requirements.
If we are required to indemnify ITT or Xylem, Inc. in connection with the ITT spin-off of Exelis, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively impacted.
Additional details and discussions concerning some of the factors that could affect our forward-looking statements or future results are set forth in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report. The foregoing list of factors and the factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are made as of the date of filing of this Report, and we disclaim any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
Foreign Exchange and Currency: We use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets (particularly with respect to the United Kingdom due to Brexit) and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10 percent change in currency

35


exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held at December 29, 2017 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of such instruments or our results of operations or cash flows. This quantification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign currency financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. See Note N Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
Interest Rates: As of December 29, 2017 , we had long-term fixed-rate debt obligations. The fair value of these obligations is impacted by changes in interest rates; however, a 10 percent change in interest rates for our long-term fixed-rate debt obligations at December 29, 2017 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of these obligations. Additionally, there is no interest-rate risk associated with these obligations on our results of operations or cash flows, because the interest rates are fixed and because our long-term fixed-rate debt is not putable to us (i.e., not required to be redeemed by us prior to maturity). We can give no assurances, however, that interest rates will not change significantly or have a material effect on the fair value of our long-term debt obligations over the next twelve months.
As of December 29, 2017 , we also had long-term variable-rate debt obligations of $270 million , comprised of $250 million of Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020 and $20 million of the 3-year tranche of our senior unsecured term loan facility due May 29, 2018. These debt obligations bear interest that is variable based on certain short-term indices, thus exposing us to interest-rate risk; however, a 10 percent change in interest rates for these debt obligations at December 29, 2017 would not have had a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note I — Long-Term Debt in the Notes and Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K for further information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on this work and other evaluation procedures, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2018 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control: We periodically review our internal control over financial reporting as part of our efforts to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we routinely review our system of internal control over financial reporting to identify potential changes to our processes and systems that may improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating the activities of business units, migrating certain processes to our shared services organizations, formalizing policies and procedures, improving segregation of duties and increasing monitoring controls. In addition, when we acquire new businesses, we incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired business as part of our integration activities. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we completed the initial phase of implementing a new income tax provision software designed to enhance process stability and further facilitate the computation and recording of tax provisions for our U.S. and international entities. We expect to complete the final phase of the new income tax provision software implementation in fiscal 2018. We also have begun the process of a multi-year, phased implementation targeted for completion in fiscal 2020 of a new core enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system in certain business units, which we expect to reduce the number of ERP systems across the Company and enhance our system of internal control over financial reporting. We expect the initial implementation of the new ERP system in each affected business unit to involve changes to related processes that are part of our system of internal control over financial reporting and to require testing for effectiveness and potential further changes as implementation progresses. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we successfully completed the initial implementation of the ERP system in 2 business units. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of businesses in which we are or were engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and litigation or arbitration is commenced by or against us arising from or related to matters, including, but not limited to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property; labor and employee disputes; commercial or contractual disputes; strategic acquisitions or divestitures; the prior sale or use of former products allegedly containing asbestos or other restricted materials; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. Claimed amounts against us may be substantial, but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred. At December 29, 2017 , our accrual for the potential resolution of lawsuits, claims or proceedings that we consider probable of being decided unfavorably to us was not material. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, it is reasonably possible that some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of or decided unfavorably to us and in excess of the amounts currently accrued. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at December 29, 2017 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Tax Audits. Our tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where we conduct or conducted business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or ultimately through legal proceedings. We believe we have adequately accrued for any ultimate amounts that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different from the amounts recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2017 Form 10-K. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , we repurchased 536,500 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program for $75 million at an average price per share of $139.96 , excluding commissions of $.02 per share. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired. The following table sets forth information with respect to repurchases by us of our common stock during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 :

(1)
On February 2, 2017, we announced that on January 26, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $1 billion in shares of our common stock through open-market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. As of December 29, 2017 , $823,299,184 (as reflected in the table above) was the approximate dollar amount of our common stock that may yet be purchased under our repurchase program, which does not have a stated expiration date.
(2)
Represents a combination of (a) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation of holders of performance units, restricted units or restricted shares that vested during the quarter and (b) performance units, restricted units or restricted shares returned to us upon retirement or employment termination of employees. Our equity incentive plans provide that the value of shares delivered to us to pay the exercise price of options or to cover tax withholding obligations shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , we did not issue or sell any unregistered equity securities.

ARTICLE 1

TITLE
The title of this Plan shall be the “Harris Corporation Retirement Plan.” This Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Plan in effect as of December 31, 2017. This amendment and restatement shall be effective as of January 1, 2018.
The rights and benefits of any Participant whose employment with all Employers and Affiliates terminates on or after January 1, 2018, and the rights and benefits of any Beneficiary of any such Participant, shall be determined solely by reference to the terms of the Plan as amended and restated herein, as such plan may be amended from time to time.
The Plan is designated as a “profit sharing plan” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation section 1.401-1(a)(2)(ii). In addition, the portion of the Plan invested in the Harris Stock Fund is designated as an “employee stock ownership plan” within the meaning of section 4975(e)(7) of the Code and, as such, is designed to invest primarily in “qualifying employer securities” within the meaning of section 4975(e)(8) of the Code.
Certain provisions of the Plan applicable solely to a specified group of Employees are set forth in an Appendix hereto, all of which Appendices are incorporated herein and considered to be part of this Plan. The provisions of an Appendix which modify the Plan’s terms with respect to the Employees covered thereby shall be construed in a manner that harmonizes the Appendix with the other provisions of the Plan to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent that the Plan’s other terms are not expressly inconsistent with the terms of an Appendix, the Employees who participate in the Plan pursuant to such Appendix shall be governed by the Plan’s other terms.


1




ARTICLE 2
DEFINITIONS
As used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the following respective meanings when capitalized:
Account . The aggregate of a Participant’s subaccounts described in Section 8.1 and such other subaccounts that may be established from time to time on behalf of a Participant, to be credited with contributions made by or on behalf of the Participant, adjusted for earnings and losses, and debited by distributions to and withdrawals of the Participant and expenses.
Administrative Committee . The Employee Benefits Committee of the Company or any successor thereto that is appointed pursuant to Section 13.1 to administer the Plan. Reference herein to the Administrative Committee also shall include any person or entity to whom the Administrative Committee has delegated any of its authority pursuant to Section 13.3 to the extent of the delegation.
Affiliate . (a) A corporation that is a member of the same controlled group of corporations (within the meaning of section 414(b) of the Code) as an Employer, (b) a trade or business (whether or not incorporated) under common control (within the meaning of section 414(c) of the Code) with an Employer, (c) any organization (whether or not incorporated) that is a member of an affiliated service group (within the meaning of section 414(m) of the Code) that includes an Employer, a corporation described in clause (a) of this subdivision or a trade or business described in clause (b) of this subdivision, or (d) any other entity that is required to be aggregated with an Employer pursuant to Regulations promulgated under section 414(o) of the Code.
After-Tax Account . The subaccount established pursuant to Section 8.1 to which (i) any after-tax contributions made for the benefit of a Participant pursuant to Section 5.1 and

2




(ii) any amounts that are attributable to after-tax contributions made to a qualified defined contribution plan with respect to a Participant that are transferred or merged into this Plan, are credited, in each case as adjusted for earnings and losses thereon.
Beneficiary . A person entitled under Section 9.7 to receive benefits in the event of the death of a Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, any designation of a beneficiary under the Exelis Retirement Savings Plan in effect at the time of the merger of that plan into this Plan shall be void and of no effect.
Board . The Board of Directors of the Company.
Break in Service . A period other than a period included in an Employee’s Service; provided , however , that a Break in Service shall not include a period of absence from employment not in excess of 24 consecutive months because of (a) the Employee’s pregnancy, (b) the birth of the Employee’s child, (c) the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the Employee’s adoption of such child or (d) the need of the Employee to care for any such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. The immediately preceding sentence shall not apply unless the Employee timely furnishes to the Administrative Committee or its delegate such information as it may reasonably require to establish the reason for such absence and its duration.
Change in Control . For the purposes hereof, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i) any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20%

3




or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however , that the event described in this paragraph (i) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (a) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (b) by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (d) pursuant to a Non-Control Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii));
(ii) individuals who, on January 1, 2018, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board,   provided   that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 1, 2018, whose appointment, election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors who remain on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall also be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;   provided, however , that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;
(iii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any such type of transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders (whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction or otherwise) (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more

4




than 60% of the total voting power of the company resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, any company which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the Company Voting Securities) eligible to elect directors of such company is represented by shares that were Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination (either by remaining outstanding or being converted), and such voting power is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any publicly traded holding company resulting from such Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company (or the company resulting from such Business Combination)) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination, and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies the conditions specified in (a), (b) and (c) shall be deemed to be a “Non-Control Transaction”);
(iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
(v) the Company consummates a direct or indirect sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by

5




the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided , that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.
 For the purposes of this definition of “Change in Control” the term “Subsidiary” shall mean any entity of which the Company owns or controls, either directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of stock normally entitled to vote for the election of directors or of comparable equity participation and voting power.
Code . The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder. References to any section of the Code shall include any successor provision thereto.
Company . Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and any successor thereto.
Company Base Account . The subaccount established pursuant to Section 8.1 to which (i) any company base contributions made for the benefit of a Participant pursuant to Appendix 7 and (ii) any amounts that are attributable to company base contributions made to a qualified defined contribution plan with respect to the Participant that are transferred or merged into this Plan, are credited, in each case as adjusted for earnings and losses thereon.
Compensation . Except as otherwise provided in an Appendix for a specified group of Participants, the following items of remuneration which a Participant is paid for work or personal services performed for an Employer: (a) salary or wages, including lump sum merit increases; (b) commission paid pursuant to a sales incentive plan; (c) overtime premium, shift

6




differential or additional compensation in lieu of overtime premium; (d) except as provided in the immediately following paragraph, compensation in lieu of vacation or paid time off; (e) any bonus or incentive compensation payable in the form of cash pursuant to an Employer’s Annual Incentive Plan, an Employer’s Performance Reward Plan, or other similar plan or award program adopted from time to time by an Employer; and (f) any differential wage payment (within the meaning of Section 3401(h)(2) of the Code) paid with respect to a period during which the Participant is performing service in the uniformed services while on active duty for more than 30 days; provided , however , that Compensation also shall include any remuneration which would have been paid to the Participant for work or personal services performed for an Employer but for the Participant’s election to have his or her compensation reduced pursuant to a qualified cash or deferred arrangement described in section 401(k) of the Code, a cafeteria plan described in section 125 of the Code or an arrangement providing qualified transportation fringes described in section 132(f) of the Code; provided further that the remuneration described in this paragraph shall be Compensation for purposes of the Plan only if it is paid on or before the later of (i) 2 ½ months after the Participant’s severance from employment and (ii) the last day of the Plan Year during which the Participant’s severance from employment occurs (the “Timing Limitation”), except that the Timing Limitation shall not apply to payments to a Participant who does not perform services for an Employer at the time of payment by reason of Qualified Military Service to the extent that such payments do not exceed the amounts such Participant would have received if the Participant had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering Qualified Military Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in an Appendix for a specified group of Participants, the following items also shall be excluded from

7




“Compensation”: (1) any extraordinary compensation of a recurring or non-recurring nature, including one-time recognition awards and rewards under a referral program of an Employer; (2) any award made or amount paid pursuant to the Harris Corporation Equity Incentive Plan or any predecessor or successor thereto, including, but not limited to, performance shares, stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights or other stock-based awards or dividend equivalents; (3) severance pay, separation pay, special retirement pay or parachute payments; (4) retention bonuses or completion bonuses, unless authorized by the Administrative Committee in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to be included in Compensation; (5) reimbursement or allowances with respect to expenses incurred in connection with employment, such as tax equalization, reimbursement for moving expenses, mileage or expense allowance or education expenses; (6) indirect compensation such as employer-paid group insurance premiums or contributions under this Plan or any other qualified employee benefit plan, other than contributions described in the immediately preceding paragraph; (7) compensation in lieu of vacation or paid time off that is paid in a lump sum at or following termination of employment, or that is accrued but unused vacation or paid time off paid in a lump sum during employment due to Company restrictions on carryover of vacation or paid time off or (8) payments under a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan. For the avoidance of doubt, compensation which is attributable to the conversion, effective as of December 25, 2015 or such later date as determined from time to time, of certain accrued vacation and paid time off to a deferred lump-sum amount, shall be considered nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of the Plan and shall be excluded from “Compensation”.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Compensation of a Participant taken into account for any purpose under the Plan shall not exceed $275,000 (as

8




adjusted pursuant to section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code). In addition, in the Plan Year in which an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant, only Compensation received on or after the date he or she becomes a Participant shall be taken into account under the Plan. Finally, in no event shall Compensation for purposes of this Plan include any amount that is not “compensation” within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code and Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-2.
Compensation Committee . The Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board (or such other committee of the Board as the Board may designate from time to time). Reference herein to the Compensation Committee also shall include any person or entity to whom the Compensation Committee has delegated any of its authority pursuant to Section 13.3 to the extent of the delegation.
Designated Roth Account . The subaccount established pursuant to Section 8.1 to which (i) any designated Roth contributions made for the benefit of a Participant pursuant to Section 4.1 and (ii) any amounts that are attributable to designated Roth contributions made to a qualified defined contribution plan with respect to a Participant that are transferred or merged into this Plan, are credited, in each case as adjusted for earnings and losses thereon.
Disability . A Participant’s total and permanent physical or mental disability, as evidenced by the Participant’s eligibility for disability benefits under Title II or Title XVI of the Federal Social Security Act. A Participant’s Disability shall be deemed to occur as of the effective date determined by the Social Security Administration.
Effective Date . The effective date of this amendment and restatement of the Plan, which, with respect to the Company and any other Employer as of December 31, 2017, shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be January 1, 2018 and, with respect to an entity that


9




becomes an Employer on or after January 1, 2018, shall be the effective date as of which the Plan is adopted by such entity.

The amount of any income or loss allocable to such excess deferrals shall be determined pursuant to Regulations. Such amount of excess deferrals, as adjusted for income or loss, shall be distributed to the Participant no later than April 15 following the calendar year for which such contributions were made. Any excess deferrals that are distributed in accordance with this subsection (b)(2) shall not be treated as “annual additions” for purposes of Section 6.3. The amount of excess deferrals that may be distributed under this subsection (b)(2) with respect to a Participant for a calendar year shall be reduced by any amounts previously distributed pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(1) with respect to such Participant for such year. The Participant to whom any excess deferrals are distributed pursuant to this paragraph shall designate the extent to which such distributed excess deferrals are treated as pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions (but only up to the extent that such types of contributions were made by the Participant to the Plan for the Plan Year) and, in the event that any such designation is not made or is incomplete, such distributed excess deferrals shall be treated as pre-tax contributions up to the extent pre-tax contributions were made to the Plan for the Plan Year and, to the extent that such distributed excess deferrals exceed such pre-tax contributions, such excess deferrals shall be treated as distributions of

30




designated Roth contributions made to the Plan for the Plan Year. Any matching contributions attributable to excess deferrals that are distributed pursuant to this Section 6.1(b), as adjusted for income or loss, shall be forfeited.
Section 6.2.      Limits on Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees .
(a)      Actual Deferral Percentage Test Imposed by Section 401(k)(3) of the Code . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, if the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1 for a Plan Year fail, or in the judgment of the Administrative Committee are likely to fail, to satisfy both of the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the adjustments prescribed in Section 6.2(d)(1) shall be made. Any pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions which are “catch-up contributions” described in Section 4.1(d) shall not be considered to be pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions for purposes of determining whether the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection are satisfied or for purposes of making any adjustments prescribed by Section 6.2(d)(1).
(1)      The HCE average deferral percentage for such year does not exceed the product of the NHCE average deferral percentage for such year and 1.25.
(2)      The HCE average deferral percentage for such year (i) does not exceed the NHCE average deferral percentage for such year by more than two percentage points and (ii) does not exceed the product of the NHCE average deferral percentage for such year and 2.0.
(b)      Actual Contribution Percentage Test Imposed by Section 401(m) of the Code . Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 5.1, if the aggregate of the matching

31




contributions made pursuant to Section 4.2 and the after-tax contributions made pursuant to Section 5.1 for a Plan Year fail, or in the judgment of the Administrative Committee are likely to fail, to satisfy both of the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the adjustments prescribed in Section 6.2(d)(2) shall be made.
(1)      The HCE average contribution percentage for such year does not exceed the product of the NHCE average contribution percentage for such year and 1.25.
(2)      The HCE average contribution percentage for such year (i) does not exceed the NHCE average contribution percentage for such year by more than two percentage points and (ii) does not exceed the product of the NHCE average contribution percentage for such year and 2.0.
(c)      Definitions and Special Rules . For purposes of this Section, the following definitions and special rules shall apply:
(1)      The “actual deferral percentage test” refers collectively to the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this Section relating to pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions. The actual deferral percentage test shall be satisfied if either of such tests are satisfied.
(2)      The “HCE average deferral percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who are eligible to make pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions for the current Plan Year and who are Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of

32




the employer contributions for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the current Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the current Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee. For this purpose, “employer contributions” shall mean pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions (including excess deferrals), but excluding any pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions that are taken into account under the actual contribution percentage test (provided that the actual deferral percentage test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of such contributions).
(3)      The “NHCE average deferral percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who were eligible to make pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions for the immediately preceding Plan Year and who were not Highly Compensated Employees for the immediately preceding Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the employer contributions for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the immediately preceding Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the immediately preceding Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee. For this purpose, “employer contributions” shall mean pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions (including excess deferrals), but excluding (i) excess deferrals that arise solely from pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made under this Plan or other plans maintained by the Employers and Affiliates and (ii) any pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions that are taken into account under the actual contribution

33




percentage test (provided that the actual deferral percentage test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of such pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “plan coverage change” during a Plan Year (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-2(c)(4)(iii)(A)), the “NHCE average deferral percentage” for such Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-2(c)(4).
(4)      The “actual contribution percentage test” refers collectively to the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (b) of this Section relating to matching contributions and after-tax contributions. The actual contribution percentage test shall be satisfied if either of such tests are satisfied.
(5)      The “HCE average contribution percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who are eligible to have matching contributions, after-tax contributions, or in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions
and designated Roth contributions, made for their benefit for the current Plan
Year and who are Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the matching contributions, after-tax contributions and, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions

34




and designated Roth contributions, made for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the current Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the current Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee.
(6)      The “NHCE average contribution percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who were eligible to have matching contributions, after-tax contributions, or in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions, made for their benefit for the immediately preceding Plan Year and who were not Highly Compensated Employees for the immediately preceding Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the matching contributions, after-tax contributions and, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions, made for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the immediately preceding Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the immediately preceding Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “plan coverage change” during a Plan Year (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-2(c)(4)(iii)(A)), the “NHCE average contribution percentage” for such Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-2(c)(4).

35




(7)      The term “compensation” shall have the meaning set forth in section 414(s) of the Code or, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee, any other meaning in accordance with the Code for these purposes. In any event, the term “compensation” shall not include any amount excludable under Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-2(g)(5)(ii).
(8)      If the Plan and one or more other plans of an Employer to which pre-tax contributions, designated Roth contributions, matching contributions or employee contributions (as such terms are defined for purposes of section 401(m) of the Code), or qualified nonelective contributions (as such term is defined in section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code), are made are treated as one plan for purposes of section 410(b) of the Code, such plans shall be treated as one plan for purposes of this Section. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in the Plan and one or more other plans of an Employer to which any such contributions are made, all such contributions shall be aggregated for purposes of this Section.
(d)      Adjustments to Comply with Limits .
(1)      Adjustments to Comply with Actual Deferral Percentage Test . The Administrative Committee shall cause to be made such periodic computations as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to determine whether the actual deferral percentage test will be satisfied during a Plan Year, and, if it appears to the Administrative Committee that such test will not be satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall take such steps as it deems necessary or appropriate to adjust the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1 for all or a portion of the remainder of such Plan Year for the benefit of some

36




or all of the Highly Compensated Employees to the extent necessary in order for the actual deferral percentage test to be satisfied. If, after the end of the Plan Year, the Administrative Committee determines that, notwithstanding any adjustments made pursuant to the preceding sentence, the actual deferral percentage test was not satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall calculate a total amount by which pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions must be reduced in order to satisfy such test in the manner prescribed by section 401(k)(8)(B) of the Code (the “excess contributions amount”). The amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to be reduced for each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee shall be determined by first reducing the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions of each Participant whose actual dollar amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions for such Plan Year is highest until such reduced dollar amount equals the next highest actual dollar amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made for such Plan Year on behalf of any Highly Compensated Employee or until the total reduction equals the excess contributions amount. If further reductions are necessary, then the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions on behalf of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and whose actual dollar amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions for such Plan Year is the highest (determined after the reduction described in the preceding sentence) shall be reduced in accordance with the preceding sentence. Such reductions shall continue to be made to the extent necessary so that the total reduction equals the

37




excess contributions amount. The portion of a Participant’s pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to be reduced in accordance with this Section 6.2(d)(1) shall be recharacterized as an after-tax contribution, and the Participant shall be notified of such recharacterization and the tax consequences thereof no later than 2½ months after the end of the Plan Year. The amount of a Participant’s pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to be reduced in accordance with this Section shall be reduced by any excess deferrals previously distributed to such Participant pursuant to Section 6.1 in order to comply with the limitations of section 402(g) of the Code. The amount of any income or loss allocable to any such reductions shall be determined pursuant to the applicable Regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department. The Participant for whom any contributions are recharacterized as after-tax contributions pursuant to this paragraph shall designate the extent to which the contributions to be recharacterized contributions shall be pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions (but only up to the extent that such types of contributions were made by the Participant to the Plan for the Plan Year) and, in the event that any such designation is not made or is incomplete, the Participant’s pre-tax contributions shall be recharacterized up to the extent pre-tax contributions were made to the Plan for the Plan Year and, to the extent that the Participant’s excess contributions exceed such pre-tax contributions, the Participant’s designated Roth contributions made to the Plan for the Plan Year shall be recharacterized.
(2)      Adjustments to Comply with Actual Contribution Percentage Test . The Administrative Committee shall cause to be made such periodic computations

38




as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to determine whether the average contribution percentage test will be satisfied during a Plan Year, and, if it appears to the Administrative Committee that such test will not be satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall take such steps as it deems necessary or appropriate to adjust the matching contributions and the after-tax contributions made pursuant to Section 4.2 and 5.1, respectively, for all or a portion of the remainder of such Plan Year on behalf of some or all of the Highly Compensated Employees to the extent necessary in order for the average contribution percentage test to be satisfied. If the Administrative Committee determines that, notwithstanding any adjustments made pursuant to the preceding sentence, the average contribution percentage test was or will not satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall, in its discretion, (1) allocate a qualified nonelective contribution pursuant to Section 6.2(e) or (2) reduce the matching contributions and after-tax contributions made on behalf of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and whose actual dollar amount of matching contributions and after-tax contributions for such Plan Year is the highest in the same manner described in subparagraph (1) of this paragraph to the extent necessary to comply with the average contribution percentage test. The reduction described in the preceding sentence shall be made first with respect to a Participant’s after-tax contributions in excess of six percent of Compensation, second with respect to any remaining after-tax contributions and any matching contributions attributable thereto, and

39




third with respect to any other matching contributions. With respect to contributions to be so reduced, no later than 2½ months after the end of the Plan Year (or if correction by such date is administratively impracticable, no later than the last day of the subsequent Plan Year), the Administrative Committee shall cause to be distributed to each such Participant the amount of such reductions made with respect to vested matching contributions to which such Participant would be entitled under the Plan if such Participant had terminated service on the last day of the Plan Year for which such contributions are made (or on the date of the Participant’s actual termination of employment, if earlier) and with respect to after-tax contributions (plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto), and any remaining amount of such reductions (plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto) shall be forfeited. Any amounts forfeited pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated in the same manner as forfeitures described in Section 9.2(b). The amount of any such income or loss allocable to any such reduction to be so distributed or forfeited shall be determined pursuant to applicable Regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department.
(e)      Qualified Nonelective Contributions . Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.3 and 6.4, and to the extent permitted by Regulations or other pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, for purposes of satisfying the actual contribution percentage test set forth in Section 6.2(b), the Employers may contribute for a Plan Year such amount, if any, as may be designated as a “qualified nonelective contribution” within the meaning of section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code. Any such qualified nonelective contribution to the Plan must be contributed no later than the last day of the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year to

40




which it relates. Any such qualified nonelective contribution to the Plan shall be allocated to the Accounts of those Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year with respect to which such qualified nonelective contribution is made and who are actively employed by the contributing Employer on the last day of the Plan Year with respect to which such qualified nonelective contribution is made, beginning with the Participant with the lowest Compensation for such Plan Year and allocating the maximum amount that may be taken into account under Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v) (and that is permissible under Section 6.3) before allocating any portion of such qualified nonelective contribution to the Participant with the next lowest Compensation for the Plan Year.
Section 6.3.      Maximum Annual Additions under Section 415 of the Code . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the amounts allocated to the Account of each Participant for any limitation year shall be limited so that the aggregate annual additions for such year to the Participant’s Account and to the Participant’s accounts in all other defined contribution plans maintained by an employer shall not exceed the lesser of:
(i)
$55,000 (as adjusted pursuant to section 415(d) of the Code); and
(ii)
100% of the Participant’s compensation for such limitation year (or such other percentage of compensation set forth in section 415(c) of the Code).
The “annual additions” to a Participant’s Account and to the Participant’s account in any other defined contribution plan maintained by an employer is the sum for such limitation year of:
(a)      the amount of employer contributions (including pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions) allocated to the Participant’s account, excluding, however, (X) pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions that are “catch-up contributions” made pursuant to section 414(v) of the Code, (Y) excess deferrals that are distributed in accordance

41




with section 402(g) of the Code and (Z) restorative payments (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-1(b)(2)(ii)(C)),
(b)      the amount of forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s account,
(c)      the amount of contributions by the Participant to any such plan, but excluding any rollover contributions or loan repayments,
(d)      the amount allocated on behalf of the Participant to any individual medical benefit account (as defined in section 415(l) of the Code) or, if the Participant is a key employee within the meaning of section 419A(d)(3) of the Code, to any post-retirement medical benefits account established pursuant to section 419A(d)(1) of the Code, and
(e)      the amount of mandatory employee contributions within the meaning of section 411(c)(2)(C) of the Code by such Participant to a defined benefit plan, regardless of whether such plan is subject to the requirements of section 411 of the Code.
For purposes of this Section, the “limitation year” shall be the Plan Year, the term “compensation” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)‑2(d)(4), the term “defined contribution plan” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-1(a)(2), and a Participant’s employer shall include entities that are members of the same controlled group (within the meaning of section 414(b) of the Code as modified by section 415(h) of the Code) or affiliated service group (within the meaning of section 414(m) of the Code) as the Participant’s employer or under common control (within the meaning of section 414(c) of the Code as modified by section 415(h) of the Code) with the Participant’s employer or such entities.
Section 6.4.      Other Limitations on Employer Contributions . The contributions of the Employers for a Plan Year shall not exceed the maximum amount for which a deduction is

42




allowable to such Employers for federal income tax purposes for the fiscal year of such Employers that ends within or with such Plan Year.
Any contribution made by an Employer by reason of a good faith mistake of fact, or the portion of any contribution made by an Employer that exceeds the maximum amount for which a deduction is allowable to such Employer for federal income tax purposes by reason of a good faith mistake in determining the maximum allowable deduction, shall upon the request of such Employer be returned by the Trustee to the Employer. An Employer’s request and the return of any such contribution must be made within one year after such contribution was mistakenly made or after the deduction of such excess portion of such contribution was disallowed, as the case may be. The amount to be returned to an Employer pursuant to this paragraph shall be the excess of (i) the amount contributed over (ii) the amount that would have been contributed had there not been a mistake of fact or a mistake in determining the maximum allowable deduction. Earnings attributable to the mistaken contribution shall not be returned to the Employer, but losses attributable thereto shall reduce the amount to be so returned. If the return to the Employer of the amount attributable to the mistaken contribution would cause the balance of any Participant’s Account as of the date such amount is to be returned (determined as if such date coincided with the close of a Plan Year) to be reduced to less than what would have been the balance of such Account as of such date had the mistaken amount not been contributed, the amount to be returned to the Employer shall be limited so as to avoid such reduction.

ARTICLE 7
TRUST AND INVESTMENT FUNDS
Section 7.1.      Trust . A Trust shall be created by the execution of a trust agreement between the Company (acting on behalf of the Employers) and the Trustee. All

43




contributions under the Plan shall be paid to the Trustee. The Trustee shall hold all monies and other property received by it and invest and reinvest the same, together with the income therefrom, on behalf of the Participants collectively in accordance with the provisions of the trust agreement. The Trustee shall make distributions from the Trust Fund at such time or times to such person or persons and in such amounts as the Administrative Committee directs in accordance with the Plan.
Section 7.2.      Investments . (a) In General . The Investment Committee shall establish an investment policy for the Plan. The Investment Committee shall cause the Trustee to establish and maintain three or more separate investment funds exclusively for the collective investment and reinvestment as directed by Participants of amounts credited to their Accounts. Additional investment funds may be established as determined by the Investment Committee from time to time in its sole discretion. The Investment Committee, in its sole discretion, may appoint investment managers to provide services in connection with the investment funds established under the Plan.
(b)      Harris Stock Fund . In addition to the investment funds established at the direction of the Investment Committee pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the Trustee shall establish and maintain a Harris Stock Fund. The assets of the Harris Stock Fund shall be invested primarily in shares of Harris Stock. The assets of the Harris Stock Fund also may be invested in short-term liquid investments. Each Participant’s interest in the Harris Stock Fund shall be represented by units of participation, and each such unit shall represent a proportionate interest in all the assets of such fund. The Trustee is authorized to purchase shares of Harris Stock on the open market. Except as permitted by section 401(a)(35) of the Code, restrictions (either direct or indirect) or

44




conditions will not be imposed on investment in the Harris Stock Fund if such restrictions or conditions are not imposed on investment in the other investment funds available under the Plan.
(c)      Self-Directed Brokerage Account . In addition to the investment funds established at the direction of the Investment Committee pursuant to Section 7.2(a), a Participant may establish a self-directed brokerage account, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan and such other terms and conditions as deemed appropriate by the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee from time to time. In no event shall Harris Stock be a permitted investment in the self-directed brokerage account.

ARTICLE 8

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
AND INVESTMENT ELECTIONS
Section 8.1.      Participant Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain, or cause the Trustee or such other agent as the Administrative Committee may select to establish and maintain, a separate Account for each Participant. Such Account shall be solely for accounting purposes, and no segregation of assets of the Trust Fund among the separate Accounts shall be required. Each Account shall consist of the following subaccounts (and such other subaccounts as may be established by or at the direction of the Administrative Committee from time to time):
(a)      a Pre-Tax Account;
(b)      a Designated Roth Account;
(c)      a Matching Account;
(d)      a Profit Sharing Account;
(e)      an After-Tax Account;
(f)      a Rollover Account ;

45




(g)      a Savings Account;
(h)      a QNEC Account;
(i)      a Company Base Account;
(j)      a Fringe Account;
(k)      a Prior Company Contribution Account; and
(l)      a Money Purchase Pension Account.
The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain, or cause the Trustee or such other agent as the Administrative Committee may select to establish and maintain, investment subaccounts with respect to each investment fund described in Section 7.2 to which amounts contributed under the Plan shall be credited according to each Participant’s investment elections pursuant to Section 8.2. All such investment subaccounts shall be solely for accounting purposes, and there shall be no segregation of assets within the investment funds among the separate investment subaccounts.
Section 8.2.      Investment Elections . Initial Election . Each Participant shall make, in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, an investment election that shall apply to the investment of contributions made for a Participant’s benefit and any earnings on such contributions, subject to such limitations set forth herein or imposed by the Administrative Committee from time to time. The Administrative Committee in its discretion shall determine whether a single investment election shall apply to a Participant’s entire Account or whether a Participant may make separate investment elections applicable to various sources of contributions under the Plan. A Participant’s election shall specify that such contributions be invested either (i) wholly in one of the funds maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2, or (ii) divided among two or more of such funds in increments of 1% (or such larger percentage

46




established by the Administrative Committee from time to time). Unless otherwise determined by the Investment Committee, during any period in which no direction as to the investment of a Participant’s Account is on file with the Administrative Committee (a “Default Period”), contributions made for a Participant’s benefit shall be invested in an age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund (or, if the Employers have no record of the Participant’s age, in the LifeCycle Retirement Fund until such Participant’s age can be determined, at which time all such contributions made for such Participant’s benefit during the Default Period shall be transferred to an age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund). A Participant may enroll in a managed account program under which investment professionals will monitor the Participant’s Account and manage all investment elections and transactions.
(a)      Change of Election . A Participant may change his or her investment election as of any Valuation Date, subject to such limitations as the Administrative Committee from time to time may impose (including restrictions on investment election changes that apply solely to a particular investment fund or option). A Participant’s investment election change shall be limited to the investment funds or options then maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2. A change in investment election made pursuant to this Section shall apply to a Participant’s existing Account or contributions made for the benefit of the Participant after such change, or both. Any such change shall specify that such Account or contributions be invested either (i) wholly in one of the funds or options maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2 or (ii) divided among two or more of such funds or options in increments of 1% (or such larger percentage established by the Administrative Committee from time to time) or, solely with respect to a Participant’s existing Account, in fixed dollar amounts. A Participant’s change of investment election must be made in the manner and subject to the rules prescribed by the

47




Administrative Committee, including rules regarding the time by which such an election must be made in order to be effective for a particular Valuation Date. In the absence of an affirmative election by a Participant to the contrary, the Administrative Committee may deem a Participant to have made an investment election change (e.g., an election to liquidate a fund investment) in accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee and communicated to Participants.
(b)      Special Rules Concerning the Harris Stock Fund . A Participant may not elect to invest in the Harris Stock Fund more than 20% of the aggregate contributions newly made for his or her benefit, and a Participant may not transfer any portion of the Participant’s existing Account from investment in funds other than the Harris Stock Fund to investment in the Harris Stock Fund if following such transfer more than 20% of the Participant’s existing Account would be invested in the Harris Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective February 9, 2018, a Participant (other than a Participant who participates in the Plan pursuant to an Appendix hereto) may elect to invest in the Harris Stock Fund up to 100% of the matching contributions newly made for his or her benefit pursuant to Section 4.2.
(c)      Special Rules Concerning the Self-Directed Brokerage Account . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, (i) a Participant may not elect to invest in the self-directed brokerage account more than 20% of the aggregate contributions newly made for his or her benefit and (ii) a Participant may not transfer any portion of the Participant’s existing Account from investment in funds other than the self-directed brokerage account to investment in the self-directed brokerage account if following such transfer more than 20% of the Participant’s existing Account would be invested in the self-directed brokerage account. Any transfer to the self-directed brokerage account shall be in an amount that is no less

48




than $500 (for the avoidance of doubt, such $500 minimum investment shall not apply to new contributions directly invested in the self-directed brokerage account). Notwithstanding the foregoing, new contributions may be directly invested in the self-directed brokerage account only following the Participant’s establishment of the account and transfer to the account from other investment funds of an investment of no less than $500.
(d)     ERISA Section 404(c) Plan . The Plan is intended to meet the requirements of section 404(c) of ERISA and the Regulations thereunder, and the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted to meet such requirements.
Section 8.3.      Valuation of Funds and Plan Accounts . The value of an investment fund as of any Valuation Date shall be the market value of all assets (including any uninvested cash) held by the fund on such Valuation Date as determined by the Trustee, reduced by the amount of any accrued liabilities of the fund on such Valuation Date. The Trustee’s determination of market value shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties. The value of a Participant’s Account as of any Valuation Date shall be the sum of the values of his or her investment subaccounts in each of the subaccounts described in Section 8.1.
Section 8.4.      Valuation of Units within the Harris Stock Fund . As soon as practicable after the close of business on each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the value of the Harris Stock Fund on such Valuation Date in the manner prescribed in Section 8.3, and the value so determined shall be divided by the total number of Harris Stock Fund participating units allocated to the investment subaccounts of Participants. The resulting quotient shall be the value of a participating unit in the Harris Stock Fund as of such Valuation Date and shall constitute the “price” of a participating unit as of such Valuation Date. Participating units shall be credited, at the price so determined, to the investment subaccounts of

49




Participants with respect to contributions or transfers to such investment subaccounts on their behalf on such Valuation Date. The price of such participating units shall be debited to the investment subaccounts of Participants with respect to divestitures from such investment subaccounts on their behalf on such Valuation Date. The value of all participating units credited to Participants’ investment subaccounts shall be redetermined in a similar manner as of each Valuation Date.
Section 8.5.      Allocation of Contributions Other than Profit Sharing Contributions . Any pre-tax contribution, designated Roth contribution, matching contribution, company base contribution, fringe contribution, after-tax contribution, rollover contribution or qualified nonelective contribution shall be allocated to the Pre-Tax Account, Designated Roth Account, Matching Account, Company Base Account, Fringe Account, After-Tax Account, Rollover Account or QNEC Account, as applicable, of the Participant for whom such contribution is made on or as soon as practicable after the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date on which such contribution is delivered to the Trustee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, any Designated Roth Account shall be maintained in a manner that satisfies the separate accounting requirement, and any Regulations or other requirements promulgated, under section 402A of the Code.
Section 8.6.      Allocation of Profit Sharing Contributions . Any profit sharing contribution made by the Employers pursuant to Section 4.3 for a Plan Year shall be allocated among the Eligible Profit Sharing Participants in the proportion that the Compensation of each Eligible Profit Sharing Participant for such Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all Eligible Profit Sharing Participants for such Plan Year; provided , however , that in the Plan Year during which a Participant becomes an Eligible Profit Sharing Participant, only Compensation

50




received on or after the date he or she becomes an Eligible Profit Sharing Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of this Section 8.6.

Unless a Participant elects otherwise at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, following the period of suspension of the Participant’s contributions prescribed by this Section 9.1(b)(6), contributions to the Plan by the Participant automatically shall resume in the same form and at the same rate as in effect immediately prior to such suspension.

56




permitted to the extent that such withdrawal would cause the aggregate amount of such outstanding loan to exceed the limits described in Section 10.1.

In the event of the sale or disposition of a business or the sale of substantially all of the assets of a trade or business, the Account of a Participant affected by such sale may become 100% nonforfeitable, irrespective of the Participant’s Years of Service, if expressly provided in the documents effecting the transaction or otherwise authorized by the Company or the Administrative Committee.

If a Participant who receives a distribution of the Participant’s vested Account is reemployed prior to incurring a Break in Service of five consecutive years, then such forfeiture shall be reinstated as prescribed in Section 11.2(b).

59




contributions, profit sharing contributions, company base contributions or fringe contributions to be allocated to Participants who are reemployed by such Participant’s Employer after a period of Qualified Military Service as described in Section 11.5 and (iv) finally, to reduce future contributions to the Plan (including qualified nonelective contributions, qualified matching contributions and other corrective contributions, and earnings thereon) by such Participant’s Employer.
Section 9.3.      Time and Form of Distribution upon Termination of Employment . (a) In General . A Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her vested Account upon the Participant’s termination of employment with all Employers and Affiliates.
(b)      Time of Distribution .

(1)      subject to Section 9.4, a Participant’s Account shall not be distributed prior to the Participant’s 65th birthday unless the Participant has consented in writing to such distribution;

60




age 70½ and (ii) if the Participant’s Beneficiary is a person other than the Participant’s Spouse and distributions commence on or before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, such distributions may be made over a period not longer than the life expectancy of such Beneficiary; provided , however , that calendar year 2009 shall be disregarded for purposes of this Section 9.3(b)(2) to the extent permitted by section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code;
(3)      if at the time of a Participant’s death, distribution of his or her Account has commenced, the remaining portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant’s death, as determined pursuant to Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)‑2;
(4)      unless a Participant files a written election to defer distribution, distribution shall be made to a Participant by payment in a single lump sum no later than 60 days after the end of the Plan Year which contains the latest of (i) the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date the Participant commenced participation in the Plan and (iii) the Participant’s 65th birthday; provided , however , that if the Participant does not elect a distribution prior to the latest to occur of the events listed above, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to defer such distribution until a date no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½; and

61




(5)      with respect to a Participant who continues in employment after attaining age 70½, distribution of the Participant’s Account shall commence no later than the Participant’s required beginning date. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “required beginning date” shall mean (A) with respect to a Participant who is a 5%-owner (within the meaning of section 416(i) of the Code), April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½ and (B) with respect to any other Participant, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant terminates employment with all Employers and Affiliates. Distributions made under this paragraph shall be made in accordance with Section 9.3(d).
(c)      Form of Distribution .

62




by Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-5, the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary; or
(3)      a combination of (1) and (2).
In accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee, a Participant (or Beneficiary) may change his or her election with respect to the form of distribution, or elect to cancel installment payments, at any time before or after distribution of benefits commences.
(d)      Required Minimum Distributions . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all distributions under the Plan will be made in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the final Regulations promulgated thereunder.

In the event that a Participant is subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, has a vested Account that exceeds $1,000 and fails to make an affirmative election to either receive the lump sum payment directly in cash or have it directly rolled over pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.6 within such election period as shall be prescribed by the Administrative Committee, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to transfer such lump sum payment in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan (within the meaning of section 7701(c)(37) of the Code) selected by the Administrative Committee (an “Automatic Rollover”). The Automatic Rollover provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to a distribution to a

63




Participant who has attained age 62. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to comply with the requirements of section 401(a)(30) of the Code and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.

(b)      Order of Withdrawal or Distribution . To the extent not otherwise set forth in Section 9.1, any withdrawal pursuant to Section 9.1 or an Appendix hereto and any distribution pursuant to Section 9.3 or an Appendix hereto shall be charged against a Participant’s contribution and investment subaccounts in the order determined by the Administrative Committee; provided , however , that in order to maximize the tax benefits associated with participation in the Plan, any such withdrawal or distribution first shall be charged against the Participant’s After-Tax Account. Amounts invested in a Participant’s self-directed brokerage account are not available as a source of withdrawal or distribution; provided , however , that a Participant may reallocate his or her balance in the self-directed brokerage account to the other investment options under the Plan as provided in Section 8.2 to permit such amounts to be available for withdrawal or distribution.
Section 9.6.      Direct Rollover Option . In the case of a distribution that is an “eligible rollover distribution” within the meaning of section 402(c)(4) of the Code, a Participant, a Beneficiary or a Spouse or former Spouse who is an alternate payee under a

64




qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section 414(p) of the Code, may elect that all or any portion of such distribution to which he or she is entitled shall be directly transferred from the Plan to an Eligible Retirement Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any portion of an eligible rollover distribution that consists of after-tax contributions may be transferred only to (X) an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code or (Y) a qualified plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code or an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code that agrees to account separately for amounts so transferred; (ii) a Participant’s Designated Roth Account may be transferred only to another designated Roth contributions account under an applicable retirement plan described in section 402A(e)(1) of the Code or to a Roth IRA described in section 408A of the Code, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted by the rules of section 402(c)(2) of the Code; and (iii) if the distributee is a nonspouse Beneficiary, the eligible rollover distribution may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code and only if such account or annuity has been established for the purpose of receiving such distribution on behalf of the nonspouse Beneficiary and will be treated as an inherited individual retirement account or annuity pursuant to the provisions of section 402(c)(11) of the Code.
Section 9.7.      Designation of Beneficiary . In General . Each Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be designated contingently or successively and that may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any distribution to be made under this Article or an Appendix hereto upon the death of such Participant or, in the case of a Participant who dies after his or her termination of employment but prior to the distribution of the entire amount to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, any undistributed balance to which such Participant would have been entitled. No such designation of a

65




Beneficiary other than a Participant’s Spouse shall be effective if the Participant was married through the one-year period ending on the date of his or her death unless such designation was consented to in writing (or by such other method permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) at the time of such designation by the person who was the Participant’s Spouse during such period, acknowledging the effect of such consent and witnessed by a notary public or, prior to October 1, 1993, a Plan representative, or it is established to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that such consent could not be obtained because the Participant’s Spouse could not be located or because of the existence of other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe as excusing the requirement of such consent. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, a Participant may from time to time, without the consent of any Beneficiary, change or cancel any such designation. Such designation and each change thereof shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee and shall be filed with the Administrative Committee. If (i) no Beneficiary has been named by a deceased Participant, (ii) a Beneficiary designation is not effective pursuant to the second sentence of this section or (iii) all Beneficiaries designated by a Participant have predeceased the Participant, then any undistributed Account of the deceased Participant shall be distributed by the Trustee (a) to the surviving Spouse of such deceased Participant, if any, (b) if there is no surviving Spouse, to the then living descendants, if any, of the deceased Participant, per stirpes, or (c) if there is no surviving Spouse and there are no living descendants, to the estate of such deceased Participant. The divorce of a Participant shall be deemed to revoke any prior designation of the Participant’s former Spouse as a Beneficiary if written evidence of such divorce shall be received by the Administrative Committee before distribution of the Participant’s Account has been made in accordance with such designation.

66




(a)      Successor Beneficiaries . A Beneficiary who has been designated in accordance with Section 9.7(a) may name a successor beneficiary or beneficiaries in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable form pursuant to which a Participant designates a Beneficiary or the instructions thereto, if such Beneficiary dies after the Participant and before distribution of the entire amount of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan in which the Beneficiary has an interest, then any remaining amount shall be distributed, as soon as practicable after the death of such Beneficiary, in the form of a lump sum payment to the successor beneficiary or beneficiaries or, if there is no such successor beneficiary, to the estate of such deceased Beneficiary.
Section 9.8.      Missing Persons . If following the date on which pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or 9.4 a Participant’s Account may be distributed without the Participant’s consent, the Administrative Committee in the exercise of reasonable diligence has been unable to locate the person or persons entitled to the Participant’s Account, then the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited; provided , however , that to the extent required by law the Plan shall reinstate and pay to such person or persons the amount so forfeited upon a claim for such amount made by such person or persons. The amount to be so reinstated shall be obtained from the total amount that shall have been forfeited pursuant to this Section and Section 9.2(b) or an Appendix hereto during the Plan Year that the claim for such forfeited benefit is made, and shall not include any earnings or losses from the date of the forfeiture under this Section. If the amount to be reinstated exceeds the amount of such forfeitures, the Employer in respect of whose Eligible Employee the claim for forfeited benefit is made shall make a contribution in an amount equal to such excess. To the extent the forfeitures under this Section exceed any claims for forfeited benefits made pursuant to this Section, such excess shall be utilized (i) first, to restore the

67




Accounts as described in Section 11.2(b) of Participants who are reemployed by the Employer in respect of whose Eligible Employee experienced the forfeiture hereunder, (ii) next, to fund any matching contributions, profit sharing contributions, company base contributions or fringe contributions to be allocated to Participants who are reemployed by such Employer after a period of Qualified Military Service as described in Section 11.5 and (iii) finally, to reduce future contributions to the Plan by such Employer.
Section 9.9.      Distributions to Minor and Disabled Distributees . Any distribution that is payable to a distributee who is a minor or to a distributee who has been legally determined to be unable to manage his or her affairs by reason of illness or mental incompetency may be made to, or for the benefit of, any such distributee at such time consistent with the provisions of this Plan and in such of the following ways as the legal representative of such distributee shall direct: (a) directly to any such minor distributee if, in the opinion of such legal representative, he or she is able to manage his or her affairs, (b) to such legal representative, (c) to a custodian under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act for any such minor distributee, or (d) as otherwise directed by such legal representative. Neither the Administrative Committee nor the Trustee shall be required to oversee the application by any third party other than the legal representative of a distributee of any distribution made to or for the benefit of such distributee pursuant to this Section.
Section 9.10.      Payment of Group Insurance Premiums . The Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant who (i) is eligible to be included in any contributory group insurance program maintained or sponsored by an Employer, (ii) elects to be covered under such contributory group insurance program and (iii) is receiving benefits under the Plan in monthly installments to direct that a specified portion of the installment payments be

68




withheld and paid by the Trustee on the Participant’s behalf to the Employer as the Participant’s contribution under such contributory group insurance program. Such direction by a Participant, if permitted by the Administrative Committee, shall be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Any such direction may be revoked by a Participant upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Committee (or such other period of prior written notice acceptable to the Administrative Committee). Any withholding and payment of insurance costs on behalf of a Participant shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)-13.
Section 9.11.      Dividends in Respect of the Harris Stock Fund . Dividends in respect of the Harris Stock Fund, if any, shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants and Beneficiaries invested in the Harris Stock Fund, based upon their proportionate share of the Harris Stock Fund as of such date as may be determined by the Administrative Committee on or before each dividend record date. Cash dividends shall be reinvested in the Harris Stock Fund unless the Participant or Beneficiary elects, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, to receive a cash distribution in an amount equal to such dividend. Any such cash distribution shall be made at the time determined by the Administrative Committee not later than 90 days after the end of the Plan Year in which the dividend was paid. Dividends in respect of the Harris Stock Fund in a form other than cash shall be invested in the Harris Stock Fund.

70

75




soon as practicable thereafter). The amount necessary to make such allocation of profit sharing contributions, company base contributions or fringe contributions shall be derived from forfeitures during the Plan Year in which such profit sharing contributions, company base contributions or fringe contributions are made, and if such forfeitures are not sufficient for this purpose, then the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall make a special contribution to the Plan which shall be utilized solely for purposes of such allocation.
(d)      Miscellaneous Rules Regarding Make-Up Contributions .

If the Participant (or Beneficiary) furnishes such instructions to the Trustee or its agent within the time specified in the notification, then the Trustee shall vote Harris Stock represented by such participating units in accordance with such instructions. All Harris Stock represented by participating units credited to Accounts as to which the Trustee or its agent do not receive instructions as specified above and all unallocated Harris Stock held in the Harris Stock Fund shall be voted by the Trustee proportionately in the same manner as it votes Harris Stock as to which the Trustee or its agent have received voting instructions as specified above.

For purposes of this Section, the shares of Harris Stock held in the Harris Stock Fund shall be treated as allocated to the accounts of Participants in proportion to their respective participating units in the Harris Stock Fund as of the immediately preceding record date for ownership of Harris Stock for stockholders entitled to tender. The Administrative Committee may direct the Trustee to make a special valuation of the Harris Stock Fund in connection with such tender offer. Any securities or other property received by the Trustee as a result of having tendered Harris Stock shall be held, and any cash so received shall be invested in short term investments, pending any further action which the Trustee may be required or directed to take pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the period of any public offer for Harris Stock, the Trustee shall refrain from making purchases of Harris Stock in

78

For purposes of allocating the proceeds of any sale or exchange pursuant to a tender offer, the Trustee shall treat as having been sold or exchanged from each of the Accounts of Participants (and Beneficiaries) who provided timely directions to the Trustee under this Section to tender that number of shares of Harris Stock represented by participating units in the

79




Harris Stock Fund subject to such directions and the proceeds of such sale or exchange shall be allocated accordingly. Any cash proceeds from the sale or exchange of shares of Harris Stock in the Harris Stock Fund shall be invested in a commingled fund maintained by the Trustee designated to hold such amounts, and any securities or other property received as a result of such a sale or exchange shall be held by the Trustee, in each case pending investment instructions from the Participants (and Beneficiaries) or the Investment Committee, as the case may be.

APPENDIX 1
MONEY PURCHASE PENSION ACCOUNTS

This Appendix 1 shall apply solely to a Participant with an Account that is attributable, in total or in part, to a Money Purchase Pension Account (such Participant, a “Money Purchase Participant”).

A.
Form of Distribution .     Except as otherwise set forth in this Appendix 1, the Account of a Money Purchase Participant shall be distributed in the form of a single life annuity or, in the case of a Money Purchase Participant who is legally married on his or her annuity commencement date, in the form of a Joint and Survivor Annuity or, if the Money Purchase Participant has died prior to the annuity commencement date, a Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. Any annuity payable under this Appendix 1 shall be satisfied by purchase of a nonforfeitable annuity contract for the Money Purchase Participant or Spouse, as applicable.
B.
Joint and Survivor Annuity .    The term “Joint and Survivor Annuity” means an annuity for the life of the Money Purchase Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of his or her surviving Spouse which is equal to 50, 75 or 100 percent of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Money Purchase Participant and his or her Spouse and which is the actuarial equivalent of a single life annuity for the life of the Money Purchase Participant.
As soon as practicable after a married Money Purchase Participant’s annuity commencement date, the Administrative Committee will provide him or her with election information consisting of:
(1)
a written description of the Joint and Survivor Annuity and the relative financial effect of payment of his or her Account in that form; and
(2)
a notification of the right to waive payment in that form, the rights of his or her Spouse with respect to such waiver and the right to revoke such waiver.
During an election period commencing on the date the Money Purchase Participant receives such election information and ending on the later of the 180 th day thereafter or the date as of which his or her benefits are to commence, a Money Purchase Participant may waive payment in the Joint and Survivor Annuity form and elect payment in a form permitted under Section 9.3(c) of the Plan provided that the Money Purchase Participant’s surviving Spouse, if any, has consented in writing to such waiver and the Spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of such revocation and is witnessed by a notary public. A Money Purchase Participant may, at any time during his or her election period, revoke any prior waiver of the Joint and Survivor Annuity form. A Money Purchase Participant may request, in a writing filed with the Administrative Committee during his or her election period, an explanation, written in nontechnical language, of the terms, conditions and financial effect (in terms of dollars per monthly benefit payment)

1-1



of payment in the Joint and Survivor Annuity form. If not previously provided to the Money Purchase Participant, the Administrative Committee shall provide the Money Purchase Participant with such explanation within 30 days of his or her request, and the Money Purchase Participant’s election period will be extended, if necessary, to include the 180 th day following the date on which he or she receives such explanation. No distribution shall be made from the Account until the Money Purchase Participant’s election period has terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Money Purchase Participant’s Account balance does not exceed $5,000, the Account will be distributed in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Plan.

C.
Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity .    The term “Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity” means an annuity for the life of the Money Purchase Participant’s surviving Spouse, the payments under which must be equal to the amount of benefit that can be purchased with the balance in the Money Purchase Participant’s Account as of the date of his or her death. Payment of such benefits will commence as soon as practicable after the date of the Money Purchase Participant’s death, unless the surviving Spouse elects a later date. Any election to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity must be made by the Money Purchase Participant in writing during the election period described herein and shall require the Spouse’s consent in the same manner provided for in paragraph B. The election period to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity shall begin on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Money Purchase Participant attains age 35 and end on the date of the Money Purchase Participant’s death. In the event a Money Purchase Participant separates from service prior to the beginning of the election period, the election period shall begin on the date of such separation from service. In connection with the election, the Administrative Committee shall provide each Money Purchase Participant, within the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Money Purchase Participant attains age 32 and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Money Purchase Participant attains age 35, a written explanation of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity containing comparable information to that required pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs B(1) and B(2). If the Money Purchase Participant enters the Plan after such election period has terminated, the Administrative Committee shall provide such explanation no later than one year following the entry of the Money Purchase Participant into the Plan. If the Money Purchase Participant is not married as of the date of his or her death, the Money Purchase Participant’s Account shall be distributed to his or her Beneficiary in the form elected by the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.3(c) of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s distributable Account balance does not exceed $5,000, the Account will be distributed in a lump sum.

An Employee who is entitled to participate in the Plan pursuant to this Appendix 7 shall not be required to complete one Year of Service as a condition of eligibility for a matching contribution.

If as of the last day of the Plan Year, the amount of matching contributions allocated to an Employee for such Plan Year pursuant to this Appendix 7 is less than the amount that would have been allocated to such Employee had the matching contributions been calculated and contributed on a Plan Year, as opposed to a payroll, basis the Employer shall make a matching contribution on behalf of such Employee in an amount equal to the difference; provided , however , that such true-up matching contribution shall not be made with respect to an Employee who terminates employment during the Plan Year.

AMENDMENT
TO THE
EDO CORPORATION EMPLOYEES PENSION PLAN
WHEREAS, EDO LLC heretofore has adopted and maintains the EDO CORPORATION EMPLOYEES PENSION PLAN (the “ Plan ”) on behalf of certain of its eligible employees and eligible employees of certain subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Plan, the Board of Directors of Harris Corporation (“ Harris ”) or its delegate has the authority to amend the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Employee Benefits Committee of Harris (the “ Committee ”) has been delegated the authority to adopt non-material amendments to the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Committee desires to amend the Plan to provide for the default payment of required minimum distributions to any participant who fails to timely elect the commencement of such distributions on or before his or her required beginning date in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make certain other changes; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the above-described amendments are non-material.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that effective as of the date hereof, the Plan hereby is amended as follows:
1.
To renumber Section 5.7 titled “ Commencement of Distribution ” to be Section 5.7.1.

2.
To insert a new Section 5.7.2 to read as follows:

“5.7.2. Default Payment of Required Minimum Distributions . Subject to Section 5.4, in the event that a Participant fails to timely elect a form of payment pursuant to procedures established by the Administrative Committee in order that his Pension commences no later than his Required Beginning Date, the Participant’s Pension shall be determined in accordance with this Section 5.7.2.
(i) The Participant’s payment shall automatically commence on his Required Beginning Date or as soon as practicable thereafter.
(ii) To the extent the Participant does not certify his marital status at a time and in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Committee prior to his Required Beginning Date (or, if later, the date of the written explanation described in Section 5.4), (A) the Participant will be presumed married and his Pension shall be in the normal payment form for married Participants set forth in Section 5.1 and (B) the presumed spousal date of birth used to calculate the Pension will be the Participant’s date of birth unless Plan records affirmatively list the date of birth of the Participant’s Spouse.
(iii) A Participant whose payments commence pursuant to this Section 5.7.2 may not request an adjustment to his Pension thereafter; provided , however , that if a Participant certifies that the information used to calculate his Pension was incorrect in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Committee within a reasonable time period prescribed by the Administrative Committee for such certification, such Participant shall receive a Pension in the normal payment form set forth in Section 5.1 for unmarried or married Participants, as applicable, calculated based on the correct information; provided further , that in no event shall a Participant be permitted to elect an optional form of payment pursuant to Section 5.2 after his payment automatically commences pursuant to this Section 5.7.2.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.7.2 shall not apply to a Participant (A) whose Pension is delayed because the Administrative Committee is unable to locate the Participant or who, due to an administrative delay as determined by the Administrative Committee on a basis uniformly applicable to all persons similarly situated, was not provided with the written explanation described in Section 5.4 on a timely basis, (B) who is located, or with respect to whom the administrative delay is resolved, after his Required Beginning Date and (C) who, after receipt of the written explanation described in Section 5.4, timely elects to commence his Pension pursuant to procedures established by the Administrative Committee.”
3.
To amend Section 14.9 as follows:
(i) To retitle the section to be “ Construction; Venue ”;
(ii) To delete the first sentence thereof and insert the following sentences in lieu thereof:
“The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Florida (without regard to principles of conflicts of law), except to the extent otherwise required by ERISA or necessary for qualification under the Code. Venue for any action arising under the Plan shall be in Brevard County, Florida.”
4.
To insert a new Section 14.10 to read as follows:

“14.10. Legal Fees . Any award of legal fees in connection with an action involving the Plan shall be calculated pursuant to a method that results in the lowest amount of fees being paid, which amount shall be no more than the amount that is reasonable. In no event shall legal fees be awarded for work related to: (i) administrative proceedings under the Plan; (ii) unsuccessful claims brought by a Participant or any other person; or (iii) actions that are not brought under ERISA. In calculating any award of legal fees, there shall be no enhancement for the risk of contingency, nonpayment or any other risk, nor shall there be applied a contingency multiplier or any other multiplier. In any action brought by a Participant or any other person against the Plan, the Administrative Committee, the Investment Committee, any Plan fiduciary, the Company, any Participating Employer, or their respective affiliates or their or their affiliates’ respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, or agents (collectively “Plan Parties”), legal fees of the Plan Parties in connection with such action shall be paid by the Participant or other person bringing the action, unless the court specifically finds that there was a reasonable basis for the action.”

5.
To insert a new Section 14.11 to read as follows:

“14.11. Missing Participants . In the event the Administrative Committee is unable to locate any person to whom payment is due under the Plan, such person shall be considered missing for purposes of the Plan and the Administrative Committee shall perform, or cause to be performed, a reasonable search for such person in accordance with the Missing Participant Policy adopted by the Administrative Committee, as amended from time to time in the absolute discretion of the Administrative Committee.

If, after a reasonable search, the Administrative Committee is unable to locate a person to whom payment is due under the Plan, the amount due to such person shall be forfeited at such time as the Administrative Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and pursuant to nondiscriminatory rules established for that purpose (but in all events prior to the time such payment would otherwise escheat under any applicable State law). If, however, such person later files a claim for such payment before the Plan is terminated, the benefit will be reinstated and payment made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.”
