NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards
Basis of Presentation
On October 12, 2018, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with L3 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“L3”), and Leopard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Harris and L3 agreed to combine their respective businesses in an all-stock merger, at the closing of which Merger Sub would merge with and into L3, with L3 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris (the “L3Harris Merger”).
The closing of the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019 (“Closing Date”), the day after Harris’ fiscal 2019 ended and the first day of the quarter ended September 27, 2019. Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” (“L3Harris”), and each share of L3 common stock converted into the right to receive 1.30 shares (“Exchange Ratio”) of L3Harris common stock. Shares of L3Harris common stock, which previously traded under ticker symbol “HRS” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to completion of the L3Harris Merger, are traded under ticker symbol “LHX” following completion of the L3Harris Merger. L3Harris was owned on a fully diluted basis approximately 54 percent by Harris shareholders and 46 percent by L3 shareholders immediately following the completion of the L3Harris Merger.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires that the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and most of the disclosures in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (these “Notes”) be presented on a historical basis for periods prior to the closing of the L3Harris Merger. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “L3Harris” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) mean Harris and its subsidiaries when referring to periods prior to the end of fiscal 2019 (prior to the L3Harris Merger) and to the combined company L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries when referring to periods after the end of fiscal 2019 (after the L3Harris Merger).
We are accounting for the L3Harris Merger under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we are required to measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their fair values as of the Closing Date. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. See Note B — Business Combination in these Notes for additional information related to the L3Harris Merger.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared by L3Harris, without an audit, in accordance with 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 condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity 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 condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented therein. The results for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the Fiscal Transition Period (as defined below) or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at June 28, 2019 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 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 28, 2019 (our “Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K”).
We implemented a new organizational structure effective on June 29, 2019, which resulted in changes to our operating segments, which are also reportable segments and referred to as our business segments. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes.
On September 13, 2019, we completed the sale of the Harris Night Vision business to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., for $350 million (net cash proceeds of $346 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments), subject to final customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive agreement. The Harris Night Vision business was not included in any of the operating segments in our new organizational structure and the operating

results of the Harris Night Vision business through the date of the divestiture are discussed and presented as part of “Other non-reportable business segments” in this Report.
See Note C — Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for more information regarding the divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business.
Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.
Change in Fiscal Year
Through fiscal 2019, our fiscal year ended on the Friday nearest June 30. Commencing June 29, 2019, our fiscal year will end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 will be a fiscal transition period ending on January 3, 2020 (the “Fiscal Transition Period”). We will file a transition report on Form 10-KT containing audited financial statements for the Fiscal Transition Period.
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.
Significant Accounting Policies Update
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, except as described in “Adoption of New Accounting Standards” below.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Effective June 29, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASC 842”) using the optional transition method. We initially applied ASC 842 for leases existing as of June 29, 2019 and recognized $270 million of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and $289 million of lease liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). See Note B — Business Combination in these Notes for ROU assets and lease liabilities assumed as part of the L3Harris Merger.
In accordance with ASC 842, we recognized ROU assets and liabilities in our balance sheet for operating and finance leases under which we are the lessee, except for equipment leases and, as permitted by a practical expedient under ASC 842, leases with a term of 12 months or less. Equipment leases were not material at September 27, 2019 and June 29, 2019. We also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842 and did not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases, whether expired or existing contracts contain a lease under the new definition of a lease or whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842.
Operating lease assets are classified as operating ROU assets, operating lease liabilities for obligations due within 12 months are classified as other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities for obligations due longer than 12 months are classified as other long-term liabilities. Finance lease assets are classified as property, plant and equipment. Finance lease liabilities are classified as other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities depending on when the obligation is due.
Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments. Lease payments primarily include base rent. We have some lease payments that are based on an index and changes to the index are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our leases also include non-lease components such as real estate taxes and common-area maintenance costs. We elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. In certain of our leases, the non-lease components are variable and are therefore excluded from lease payments to determine the lease asset. The present value of future lease payments is determined using our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement over the expected lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate because our lessee leases do not provide an implicit lease rate. The expected lease term represents the number of years we expect to lease the property, including options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option.
Operating lease expense is recognized as an operating cost on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). For finance leases, the asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and interest on the lease liability is recognized in interest expense. The amortization of lease assets for our finance leases and interest expense was not material for the quarter ended September 27, 2019.
We are a lessor for certain arrangements for flight simulators. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases was not material for the quarter ended September 27, 2019.

7


Adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
Effective June 29, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update are intended to better align companies’ risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedge relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments in this update require companies to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. Prior to the adoption of this update, GAAP provided hedge accounting for only the portion of the hedge deemed to be highly effective and required companies to separately reflect the amount by which the hedging instrument did not offset the hedged item, which is referred to as the ineffective amount. The amendments in this update include, among other items, removal of the requirement that companies separately measure and recognize in earnings the ineffective amount for highly effective hedges. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note B — Business Combination
On October 12, 2018, Harris entered into the Merger Agreement with L3 and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Harris and L3 agreed to combine their respective businesses in an all-stock merger, at the closing of which Merger Sub would merge with and into L3, with L3 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris.
The closing of the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019, the first day of the quarter ended September 27, 2019. Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” and each share of L3 common stock converted into the right to receive 1.30 shares of L3Harris common stock. L3Harris was owned on a fully diluted basis approximately 54 percent by Harris shareholders and 46 percent by L3 shareholders immediately following the completion of the L3Harris Merger.
L3 was a prime contractor in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) systems, aircraft sustainment (including modifications and fleet management of special mission aircraft), simulation and training, night vision and image intensification equipment, and security and detection systems. L3 also was a leading provider of a broad range of communication, electronic and sensor systems used on military, homeland security and commercial platforms. L3 employed approximately 31,000 employees and its customers included the U.S. Department of Defense and its prime contractors, the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, foreign governments and domestic and foreign commercial customers. L3 generated calendar 2018 revenue of approximately $10 billion.
As a result of the L3Harris Merger, L3Harris is an agile global aerospace and defense technology innovator, delivering end-to-end solutions that meet customers’ mission-critical needs, with approximately 50,000 employees and customers in 130 countries. We provide advanced defense and commercial technologies across air, land, sea, space and cyber domain.
Approximately 104 million shares of L3Harris common stock were issued to L3 shareholders following the completion of the L3Harris Merger. The trading price of L3Harris common stock was $189.13 per share as of the Closing Date. In addition, replacement L3Harris share-based awards were issued for certain outstanding L3 share-based awards.
We are accounting for the L3Harris Merger under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we are required to measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their fair values as of the Closing Date. Due to the timing of the L3Harris Merger relative to its size and complexity, our accounting for the L3Harris Merger is preliminary. The acquisition-date fair value estimates for consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests are based on preliminary calculations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period (up to one year from the Closing Date).

The goodwill resulting from the L3Harris Merger was primarily associated with L3’s market presence and leading positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which L3 businesses operate, experienced work force and established operating infrastructures. Most of the goodwill related to the L3Harris Merger is nondeductible for tax purposes. As described in more detail in Note X — Business Segment Information in these Notes, we adjusted our segment reporting to reflect our new organizational structure commencing with the quarter ended September 27, 2019. Under the revised reporting structure, our Integrated Mission Systems segment is comprised almost entirely of L3 operating businesses, as of the acquisition date, whereas our other segments are comprised of both L3 and Harris operating businesses.

During the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we recorded $373 million of L3Harris Merger-related charges, consisting of restructuring, integration, transaction and other costs as follows:
$74 million of transaction costs, recognized as incurred;
$35 million of integration costs, recognized as incurred;
$61 million of equity award acceleration charges, recognized upon change in control;
$92 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold; and
$111 million of restructuring costs as discussed in Note E — Restructuring and Other Exit Costs in these Notes.
Because the L3Harris Merger benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual business segment, the above costs were not allocated to any business segment. All of the costs above were recorded in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited), except for the $92 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold, which is included in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
Pro Forma Results
The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, presents our unaudited consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 as if the L3Harris Merger had been completed as of the beginning of the quarter ended September 28, 2018, after including any post-acquisition adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition, such as the sale of Harris’ Night Vision business, and after including the impact of adjustments such as amortization of intangible assets as well as the related income tax effects. This pro forma presentation does not include any impact of transaction synergies. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of our results of operations that actually would have been obtained had the combination of Harris and L3 been completed on the assumed date or for the period presented, or which may be realized in the future.

For the quarter ended September 27, 2019, our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) includes the results of L3 operating businesses from the Closing Date, with total revenue of approximately $2.67 billion (net of intercompany sales between L3 operating businesses) and income from continuing operations before income taxes of approximately $0.19 billion (including $92 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold and $101 million of restructuring charges for workforce reductions associated with the L3Harris Merger).
Note C — Business Divestitures and Asset Sales
Harris Night Vision. On September 13, 2019, we completed the sale of the Harris Night Vision business, a global supplier of high-performance, vision-enhancing products for U.S. and allied military and security forces and commercial customers, for

10


$350 million (net cash proceeds of $346 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments), subject to final customary purchase price adjustments pursuant to a definitive agreement we entered into on April 4, 2019 as part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger and recognized a pre-tax gain of $229 million.
Through fiscal 2019, the Harris Night Vision business was reported as part of our former Communication Systems segment. As a result of the then-pending divestiture, the Harris Night Vision business was not included in any of our new business segments and, consequently, the operating results of the business are included in “Other non-reportable business segments” for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 in this Report.
Income before income taxes for the Harris Night Vision business was not material for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 and was $6 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2018. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities of the Harris Night Vision business classified as held for sale at June 28, 2019 are summarized below:

Stormscope. On August 30, 2019, we completed the sale of the Stormscope product line for $20 million in cash and recorded a pre-tax gain of $12 million in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item of our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
Note D — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation
As of September 27, 2019, we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two Harris 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”), as well as under employee stock incentive plans of L3 assumed by L3Harris (collectively, “L3Harris SIPs”).
Harris equity awards granted prior to October 12, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger, generally automatically vested upon closing of the L3Harris Merger and settled in L3Harris Common Stock, except stock options which automatically vested and remained outstanding. Harris equity awards granted on or after October 12, 2018 did not automatically vest upon closing of the L3Harris Merger, and instead remained outstanding as an award with respect to L3Harris Common Stock in accordance with the terms that were applicable to such award prior to the L3Harris Merger.
L3’s equity awards granted prior to October 12, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger, generally automatically vested upon closing of the L3Harris Merger and settled in L3Harris Common Stock (except stock options automatically converted into stock options with respect to L3Harris Common Stock and remained outstanding), in each case, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio and appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the L3Harris Merger and the terms and conditions applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger. Any L3 restricted stock unit or L3 restricted stock award granted on or after October 12, 2018 was converted into a corresponding award with respect to L3Harris Common Stock, with the number of shares underlying such award adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio, and remained outstanding in accordance with the terms that were applicable to such award prior to the L3Harris Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, L3Harris assumed the converted L3 equity awards.
The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $95 million, including acceleration expense recognized in connection with the L3Harris Merger, and $14 million for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively.

11


The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that we issued under the terms of L3Harris SIPs (including shares issued as merger consideration to settle pre-merger L3 share-based awards), net of shares withheld for tax purposes, was 2,837,153 and 403,953 for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively.
Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 consisted of 245,991 restricted stock units, 738,956 stock options and 55,020 performance stock 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 1.70 percent; expected volatility of 22.18 percent; risk-free interest rates averaging 1.68 percent; and expected term of 5.65 years.
The fair value as of the grant date of each restricted stock unit award and performance stock unit award was based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.
Note E — Restructuring and Other Exit Costs
We record charges for restructuring and other exit activities related to 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 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 “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
L3Harris Merger-Related Restructuring Costs
During the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we recorded $111 million of restructuring charges for workforce reductions (including severance and other employee-related exit costs) in connection with the L3Harris Merger. At September 27, 2019, we had recorded liabilities of $74 million associated with these restructuring actions, of which substantially all will be paid in the next twelve months. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the total amount of cost expected to be incurred in connection with L3Harris Merger-related restructuring activities because we are still formulating plans for facility consolidations. We will disclose the total amount of cost expected to be incurred in connection with L3Harris Merger-related activities in future filings once the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Previous Restructuring and Other Exit Costs
Prior to the L3Harris Merger, we had liabilities of $16 million for lease obligations associated with exited facilities with remaining terms of four years or less, of which $13 million remained outstanding at September 27, 2019.

We have a receivables sale agreement (“RSA”) with a third-party financial institution that permits us to sell, on a non-recourse basis, up to $100 million of outstanding receivables at any given time. From time to time, we have sold certain customer receivables under the RSA, which we continue to service and collect on behalf of the third-party financial institution and which we account for as sales of receivables with sale proceeds included in net cash from operating activities. Outstanding accounts receivable sold pursuant to the RSA were not material at September 27, 2019 and June 28, 2019.

Note H — Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding amounts billed to customers for contracts utilizing the percentage of completion (“POC”) cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. We bill customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries and, in certain arrangements, the customer may withhold payment of a small portion of the contract price until contract completion. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized, including deferred revenue associated with extended product warranties. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The increase in contract assets and contract liabilities in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 was primarily due to contract assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger. Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities balances during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 were not materially impacted by any factors other than those described above.

Note K — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill. As discussed in Note X — Business Segment Information in these Notes, after the completion of the L3Harris Merger, we adjusted our segment reporting to reflect our new organizational structure effective for the quarter ended September 27, 2019. Because our accounting for the L3Harris Merger is still preliminary, we assigned goodwill acquired on a provisional basis. Immediately before and after our goodwill assignments, we completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment under our former and new segment reporting structure and determined that no impairment existed.
The assignment of goodwill by business segment, and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended September 27, 2019, were as follows:

Identifiable Intangible Assets. The most significant identifiable intangible asset that is separately recognized for our business combinations is customer relationships. Our customer relationships are established through written customer contracts (revenue arrangements). The fair value for customer relationships is determined, as of the date of acquisition, based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax earnings and cash flows (including cash flows for working capital) arising from the follow-on sales expected from the customer relationships over their estimated lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a contributory assets charge, all of which is discounted to present value. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include in-process research and development (“IPR&D”).

The potential maturities of long-term debt, including the current portion, for the five years following the quarter ended September 27, 2019 and, in total, thereafter are: $656 million in the next twelve months, $656 million in year two; $6 million in year three; $806 million in year four; $355 million in year five; and $4,347 million thereafter.
As part of our purchase accounting for the L3Harris Merger, the L3 Notes (defined below) were recorded at fair value ($3.52 billion on a combined basis, representing a premium of $171 million). This premium will be amortized to interest expense over the lives of the related New L3Harris Notes (defined below) and such amortization is reflected as a reduction of interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
For additional information on our long-term debt, see Note 13: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K.

Debt Exchange. In connection with the L3Harris Merger, on July 2, 2019 we settled our previously announced debt exchange offers in which eligible holders of L3 senior notes (“L3 Notes”) could exchange such outstanding notes for (1) up to $3.35 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by L3Harris (“New L3Harris Notes”) and (2) one dollar in cash for each $1,000 of principal amount. Each series of the New L3Harris Notes issued has an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to the L3 Notes.

Interest on the New L3Harris Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2019, in the case of the 4.95% 2021 Notes; on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2019, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes; and on May 28 and November 28, commencing on November 28, 2019, in the case of the 3.95% 2024 Notes. The New L3Harris Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all other L3Harris senior unsecured debt.
The New L3Harris Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, until three months prior to the maturity date, in the case of the 4.95% 2021 Notes, 3.95% 2024 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes, and until one month prior to the maturity date, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the notes to be redeemed, discounted from the scheduled payment dates to the date of redemption at the “treasury rate” as defined in the note, plus 20 basis points, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes and 3.95% 2024 Notes, or 25 basis points, in the case of the 4.95% 2021 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest due at the date of redemption.
In connection with the issuance of the New L3Harris Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated July 2, 2019, with BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, pursuant to which we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete one or more registered exchange offers for the New L3Harris Notes within 365 days after July 2, 2019. If a registered exchange offer is not consummated within the alloted time, we are required to pay special additional interest, in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the New L3Harris Notes, for the first 90 days following the day of default. Thereafter, the amount of special additional interest increases another 0.25% per year, up to a maximum of 0.50% per year, until the default is cured.
Following the settlement of the exchange offers, there was approximately $329 million of existing L3 Senior Notes outstanding, which remain the senior unsecured obligations of L3.

Note P — Research and Development
Company-sponsored research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs were $149 million and $72 million for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively, and are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). Customer-sponsored research and development costs are incurred pursuant to contractual arrangements, principally U.S. Government-sponsored contracts requiring us to provide a product or service meeting certain defined performance or other specifications (such as designs), and are accounted for principally by the POC cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. Customer-sponsored research and development is included in our revenue and cost of product sales and services.
Note Q — Leases
As discussed in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards in these Notes, effective June 29, 2019, we adopted ASC 842. Our operating and finance leases at September 27, 2019 were for real estate such as office space, warehouses, manufacturing, research and development facilities, tower space and land, and for equipment. Finance leases were not material at September 27, 2019 and are therefore not included in the disclosures below.
Operating lease cost was $45 million and other lease expenses, including short-term and equipment lease cost, variable lease cost and sublease income, were not material for the quarter ended September 27, 2019.

Note S — Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 1.1 percent in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with 16.0 percent in the quarter ended September 28, 2018. In the quarter ended September 27, 2019, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, from the ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards with a full valuation allowance against capital gains generated from the Harris Night Vision business divestiture, and from the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitations expirations. In the quarter ended September 28, 2018, our effective tax rate benefited from the tax rate reduction under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, and from several differences in GAAP and tax accounting related to investments.
Tax Uncertainties

As of September 27, 2019, we had $384 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $324 million would favorably impact our future tax rates in the event that the tax benefits are eventually recognized.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our income tax expense. We had accrued $29 million for the potential payment of interest and penalties as of September 27, 2019 (and this amount was not included in the $384 million of unrecognized tax benefits balance at September 27, 2019 shown above) and $29 million of this total could favorably impact future tax rates.
Note T — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal market or most advantageous market 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.

Note U — 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 and changes in interest 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 also may enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. We recognize all derivatives in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative trading purposes.

23


Exchange-Rate Risk — Fair Value Hedges
To manage the exposure in our balance sheet to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we implement fair value hedges. More specifically, we have used foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge certain balance sheet items, including foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and inventory. Changes in the value of the derivatives and the related hedged items are reflected in earnings, in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
As of September 27, 2019, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to hedge balance sheet items. The net gain or losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges were not material for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 or for the quarter ended September 28, 2018. In addition, no amounts were recognized in earnings for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 or for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.
Exchange-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges
To manage our exposure to currency risk and market fluctuation risk associated with anticipated cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future, we implement cash flow hedges. More specifically, we use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments, including purchase commitments to suppliers, future committed sales to customers and intersegment transactions. These derivatives are used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated across our business segments. We also hedge U.S. Dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. These derivatives have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of purchase and have a high degree of correlation to the anticipated cash flows they are designated to hedge. Hedge effectiveness is determined by the correlation of the anticipated cash flows from the hedging instruments and the anticipated cash flows from the future foreign currency commitments through the maturity dates of the derivatives used to hedge these cash flows. These financial instruments are marked-to-market using forward prices and fair value quotes with the offset to other comprehensive income. Gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cash flow impact of our derivatives is included in the same category in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) as the cash flows of the related hedged items. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of foreign currency forward contracts and do not represent exposure to foreign currency losses. At September 27, 2019, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $401 million to hedge certain forecasted transactions in the Euro, British Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars and United Arab Emirates Dirhams.
At September 27, 2019, our foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2023.
The table below presents the fair values of our derivatives designated as foreign currency hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of September 27, 2019. As of June 28, 2019, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

See Note T — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for a description of the fair value hierarchy related to our foreign currency forward contracts.
For the quarter ended September 27, 2019, the net unrealized gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was a net loss of $4 million before income taxes. For the quarter ended September 28, 2018, the net unrealized gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was not material.
For the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we reclassified a $1 million pre-tax loss from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” into earnings from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges upon discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting as a result of forecasted transactions determined to be probable of not occurring. For the quarter ended September 28, 2018, the net gain or loss reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” into earnings from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was not material. These gains and losses are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
At September 27, 2019, the estimated amount of existing losses to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months was $3 million before income taxes.

24


Interest-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges
At September 27, 2019, we had three open treasury lock agreements with third-party financial institution counterparties (“treasury locks”) with a total notional amount of $1.05 billion that were classified as cash flow hedges, including two open treasury lock agreements with a combined notional amount of $650 million that were assumed in connection with the L3Harris Merger (“L3 treasury locks”).
These treasury locks were initiated in January 2019 to hedge against fluctuations in interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate notes (“New Notes”) to redeem or repay at maturity the entire $400 million outstanding principal amount of our 2.7% Notes due April 27, 2020 (“2020 Notes”) and the entire $650 million outstanding principal amount of our 4.95% Notes due February 15, 2021 (“2021 Notes”).
We designated these treasury locks as cash flow hedges against fluctuations in interest payments on the New Notes due to changes in the benchmark interest rate prior to issuance, which we expect to occur before the date of maturity of the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes. If the benchmark interest rate increases during the period of the agreement, the treasury locks position will become an asset and we will receive a cash payment from the counterparty when we terminate the treasury locks upon issuance of the New Notes. Conversely, if the benchmark interest rate decreases, the treasury locks position will become a liability and we will make a cash payment to the counterparty when we terminate the treasury locks upon issuance of the New Notes. The fair value of the treasury locks is measured using a pricing model that utilizes observable market data such as the benchmark interest rate. See Note T — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for additional information.
At September 27, 2019, the aggregate fair value of these treasury locks was a liability of $107 million, which was recorded in the “Other accrued items” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The unrealized after-tax loss associated with these treasury locks included in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) was $54 million and $20 million at September 29, 2019 and June 28, 2019, respectively. We recognized a $35 million liability for the L3 treasury locks as part of our purchase accounting for the L3Harris Merger. The net gains or losses from cash flow hedges recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income were not material for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018.
Note V — Changes in Estimates
Contract Estimates
Under the POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, a single estimated profit margin is used to recognize profit for each performance obligation over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on a contract requires estimates of the total cost at completion and transaction price and the measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price 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 and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Factors that must be considered in estimating the total transaction price include contractual cost or performance incentives (such as incentive fees, award fees and penalties) and other forms of variable consideration as well as our historical experience and expectation for performance on the contract. At the outset of each contract, we gauge the 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 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, as the contract progresses, our estimates of total transaction price may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive award fees that are higher or lower than expected. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimated total transaction price are determined, the related impact on 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. Any anticipated losses on these contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become evident.
Net EAC adjustments resulting from changes in estimates increased our operating income by $62 million ($46 million after-tax or $.20 per diluted share) and decreased our operating income by $3 million ($2 million after-tax or $.02 per diluted share) for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $73 million and $7 million for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively.
Note W — Backlog
Backlog, which is the equivalent of our remaining performance obligations, represents the future revenue we expect to recognize as we perform on our current contracts. Backlog comprises both funded backlog (i.e., firm orders for which funding

25


is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts, such as indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts.
At September 27, 2019, our backlog was $20.3 billion. We expect to recognize approximately half of the revenue associated with this backlog within the next twelve months and the substantial majority of the revenue associated with this backlog within the next 3 years.
Note X — Business Segment Information
During the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we adjusted our segment reporting to reflect our new organizational structure announced July 1, 2019. We structure our operations primarily around the products and services we sell and the markets we serve, and commencing with the the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we report the financial results of our operations in the following four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments:
Integrated Mission Systems, including ISR; advanced electro-optical and infrared solutions; and maritime power and navigation;
Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; avionics; and electronic warfare;
Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; night vision; and public safety; and
Aviation Systems, including defense aviation products; security, detection and other commercial aviation products; air traffic management; and commercial and military pilot training.
The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report reflect the impact of these adjustments for all periods presented. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these adjustments.
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 2019 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, including pension income and 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 may recognize a profit that is eliminated. The “Corporate eliminations” line item in the table below represents the elimination of intersegment sales. Corporate expenses are allocated to our operating segments using an allocation methodology prescribed by U.S. Government regulations for government contractors. The “Pension adjustment” line item in the table below represents the reconciliation of the non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, which are a component of segment operating income but are included in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). The non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs include interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of net actuarial gain or loss.

Because the acquisition of Exelis Inc. and the L3Harris Merger benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment, the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired was not allocated to any segment.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Exelis Inc. in fiscal 2015 and the L3Harris Merger in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 were recorded as Corporate assets because they benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment. Identifiable intangible asset balances recorded as Corporate assets were approximately $7.5 billion and $869 million at September 27, 2019 and June 28, 2019, respectively. Corporate assets also consisted of cash, income taxes receivable, deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan investments, buildings and equipment, as well as any assets and liabilities from discontinued operations and divestitures. See Note C — Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for additional information.
Note Y — 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 September 27, 2019, 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 September 27, 2019 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, 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 or companies we have acquired are responsible, or alleged to be responsible, for environmental investigation and/or remediation of multiple sites. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in some cases our liability is considered de minimis. Notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or equivalent state or international environmental agencies allege 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 of being 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, in June 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), Environment and Natural Resources Division, notified several potentially responsible parties, including Exelis Inc., of potential responsibility for contribution to the environmental investigation and remediation of multiple locations in Alaska. In addition, in March 2016, the EPA notified over 100 potentially responsible parties, including Exelis Inc., of potential liability for the cost of remediation for the 8.3-mile stretch of the Lower Passaic River, estimated by the EPA to be $1.38 billion, but the parties’ respective allocations have not been determined. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these environmental claims made against us, based on available information, in the opinion of our management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of environmental claims made against us in existence at September 27, 2019 are reserved against, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
    
Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of September 27, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements 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) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 28, 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the year then ended, and the related notes and financial statement schedule (not presented herein); and in our report dated August 22, 2019, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements 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 PCAOB, 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.

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 (the “Notes”). 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 2019 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 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 condition, 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.
As described in more detail in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards and in Note B — Business Combination in the Notes, we completed the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019, the day after Harris’ fiscal 2019 ended and the first day of the quarter ended September 27, 2019. As described in more detail in Note C — Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes, we completed the sale of the Harris Night Vision business on September 13, 2019 pursuant to a definitive agreement we entered as part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger.
As discussed in Note X — Business Segment Information in the Notes, we implemented a new organizational structure effective on June 29, 2019, which resulted in changes to our operating segments, which are also reportable segments and referred to as our business segments. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this MD&A reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes.
As a result of these changes, we report the financial results of our operations in the following four business segments:
Integrated Mission Systems, including ISR; advanced electro-optical and infrared solutions; and maritime power and navigation;
Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; avionics; and electronic warfare;
Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; night vision; and public safety; and
Aviation Systems, including defense aviation products; security, detection and other commercial aviation products; air traffic management; and commercial and military pilot training.
See Note X — Business Segment Information in the Notes for further information regarding our business segments, including how we define segment operating income or loss.
As described in more detail in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards in the Notes, commencing June 29, 2019, our fiscal year will end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 will be the Fiscal Transition Period. We will file a transition report on Form 10-KT containing audited financial statements for the Fiscal Transition Period.

32


As described in more detail in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards in the Notes and in Note Q — Leases in the Notes, effective June 29, 2019 we adopted ASC 842, a new lease standard that supersedes existing lease guidance under GAAP. This standard requires, among other things, the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements and disclosure of certain information about leasing arrangements.
Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019, the quarter ended September 27, 2019 reflects the results of the combined company, while the quarter ended September 28, 2018 reflects the results of only Harris operating businesses. Due to the significance of the L3 operating businesses included in the combined company results following the L3Harris Merger, the reported results for the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 generally are not comparable. Therefore, to assist with a discussion of the September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 consolidated results of operations on a more comparable basis, certain supplemental unaudited pro forma combined income statement information prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X (referred to in this MD&A as “pro forma”) also is provided (see “Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement Informationbelow in this MD&A).

Highlights
Consolidated operating results for the quarter ended September 27, 2019, in each case compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 on both an “as reported” basis (reflecting the results of only Harris operating businesses for the prior period) and a “pro forma” basis (also reflecting the results of L3 operating businesses for the prior period), included:
Consolidated as reported
Revenue increased 187 percent to $4.43 billion from $1.54 billion;
Gross margin increased 123 percent to $1,189 million from $532 million;
Income from continuing operations increased 101 percent to $435 million from $216 million; and
Income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. common shareholders increased 7 percent to $1.90 from $1.78.
Consolidated pro forma
Revenue increased 10 percent to $4.43 billion from $4.02 billion;
Gross margin was comparable at $1.19 billion for both periods;
Income from continuing operations increased 17 percent to $435 million from $373 million; and
Income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. common shareholders increased to $1.90 from $1.63.

As Reported
Revenue
The increase in revenue for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to the inclusion of $2.67 billion of revenue (net of intercompany sales eliminations) from L3 operations in operating results for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 and organic revenue growth in our Space and Airborne Systems and Communication Systems segments.
See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.


34


Gross Margin
The increase in gross margin for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in operating results for the quarter ended September 27, 2019. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue (“gross margin percentage”) for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to $92 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold and a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively lower gross margin percentage in the quarter ended September 27, 2019.
See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
The increases in Engineering, Selling and Administrative (“ESA”) expenses and ESA expense as a percentage of total revenue (“ESA percentage”) for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 were primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in operating results and $281 million of charges for integration, restructuring and other costs associated with the L3Harris Merger in the quarter ended September 27, 2019. ESA expenses for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 also included a $12 million gain on sale of a product line, offset by a $12 million non-cash cumulative adjustment to lease expense.
See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.
Gain (loss) on Sales of Businesses
The increase in gain (loss) on sales of businesses for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was due to a $229 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Harris Night Vision business, which was completed on September 13, 2019.
See Note C — Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes for further information.
Non-Operating Income
The increase in non-operating income in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in the non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit plan income, reflecting the inclusion in pension and other postretirement benefit plan income of benefit plans assumed in connection with the L3Harris Merger.
See Note R — Non-Operating Income and Note N — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information.
Net Interest Expense
The increase in net interest expense in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to higher average debt levels as a result of the assumption of $3.5 billion of debt in connection with the L3Harris Merger. See Note M — Debt in the Notes and Note 13: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 1.1 percent for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with 16.0 percent for the quarter ended September 28, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, the ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards with a full valuation allowance against capital gains generated from the Harris Night Vision business divestiture, and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitations expirations. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 benefited from the tax rate reduction under the Tax Act, the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, and from several differences in GAAP and tax accounting related to investments.
Income From Continuing Operations
The increase in income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in this “As Reported” discussion regarding the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018.

35


Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Common Share Attributable to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. Common Shareholders
The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. common shareholders for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to higher income from continuing operations, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as a result of approximately 104 million shares issued in connection with L3Harris Merger.
See “Common Stock Repurchases” below in this MD&A for information regarding our new share repurchase program.

Pro Forma
Revenue
The increase in revenue for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma revenue for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to higher revenue in our Space and Airborne Systems segment, reflecting growth in the Avionics and Space businesses, and higher revenue in our Integrated Mission Systems and Communication Systems segments.
Gross Margin
The slight increase in gross margin and decrease in gross margin percentage for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the pro forma gross margin and pro forma gross margin percentage for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 were primarily due to $92 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold in the quarter ended September 27, 2019, partially offset by higher volume and strong operational performance.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
The increases in ESA expenses and ESA percentage for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma ESA expense and pro forma ESA percentage for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 were primarily due to $281 million of charges for integration, restructuring and other costs associated with the L3Harris Merger in the quarter ended September 27, 2019, partially offset by integration savings.
Gain (loss) on Sales of Businesses
The increase in gain (loss) on sales of businesses for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma gain (loss) on sales of businesses for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was due to a $229 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Harris Night Vision business, which was completed on September 13, 2019.
See Note C — Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes for further information.
Non-Operating Income
The increase in non-operating income for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma non-operating income for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to a $21 million debt extinguishment loss recognized by L3 in the quarter ended September 28, 2018.
Net Interest Expense
The decrease in net interest expense for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma net interest expense for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to lower average debt levels as a result of the repayment at maturity of the entire outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due February 27, 2019. See Note 13: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 1.1 percent for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with a 10.6 percent pro forma effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, the ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards with a full valuation allowance against capital gains generated from the Harris Night Vision business divestiture, and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitations expirations. See “Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma combined Income Statement Information” below in this MD&A for information regarding our pro forma effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2018.

36


Income From Continuing Operations
The increase in income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in this “Pro Forma” discussion regarding the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018.
Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Common Share Attributable to L3Harris Common Shareholders
The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders for the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with pro forma income from continuing operations per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to higher income from continuing operations, as discussed above.

37


Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement Information
The following supplemental unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement information prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X provides further information supporting the preparation of the supplemental unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 provided above in the “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion in this MD&A and has been prepared to give effect to the L3Harris Merger under the acquisition method of accounting. It combines the historical results of operations of Harris and L3 and reflects the L3Harris Merger as if it closed on June 30, 2018, the first day of Harris’ fiscal 2019, and gives effect to pro forma events that are (a) directly attributable to the L3Harris Merger, (b) factually supportable and (c) expected to have a continuing impact on our results of operations. The adjustments include adjustments to reflect the sale of the Harris Night Vision business, which is directly attributable to the L3Harris Merger, but do not include any adjustments for the use of proceeds from such sale, because the use is not directly attributable to the L3Harris Merger. The pro forma condensed combined income statement information is provided for informational and supplemental purposes only, and does not purport to indicate what L3Harris’ results of operations would have been, or L3Harris’ future results of operations, had the L3Harris Merger actually occurred on June 30, 2018. The supplemental unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement information should be read in conjunction with other sections of this MD&A, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the Notes appearing elsewhere in this Report.

d.
Represents elimination of $2 million accrual of transaction costs at September 28, 2018, which were included in merger, acquisition and divestiture related expenses in L3’s historical statement of operations for the quarter ended September 28, 2018.
e.
In connection with the L3Harris Merger, on October 12, 2018, each company entered into a letter agreement with its chief executive officer, to outline the terms of each such person’s role and compensation arrangements following the merger. Amounts shown reflect the increase in compensation expense as a result of these modified arrangements.
f.
Reflects the impact of change-in-control payments under certain post-retirement and share-based and deferred compensation arrangements.
g.
Reflects the elimination of amortization of net actuarial losses from accumulated comprehensive loss related to L3's postretirement benefit plans as part of purchase accounting.
h.
Reflects the elimination of amortization of deferred debt issuance costs as part of purchase accounting.
i.
Reflects amortization of the increase to L3’s long-term debt based on a $172 million fair value adjustment.
j.
Certain amounts from L3’s historical statement of operations data were reclassified to conform their presentation to that of Harris. These reclassifications include:
1.
Merger, acquisition and divestiture related expenses of $5 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 were reclassified to engineering, selling and administrative expenses.
2.
Loss on sale of the Crestview Aerospace and TCS businesses of $4 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was reclassified to loss on sale of businesses.
3.
Interest and other income, net of $15 million, of which $5 million was reclassified to interest income and $10 million was reclassified to non-operating income for the quarter ended September 28, 2018.
4.
Debt retirement charges of $21 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was reclassified to non-operating income
k.
Represents the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments, using the blended worldwide tax rates for L3, in the case of pro forma adjustments to L3’s historical results, and the federal and state statutory tax rates for Harris, in the case of pro forma adjustments to Harris’ historical results. As a result, the combined statutory tax rate used to tax-effect the pro forma adjustments was approximately 23 percent for the quarter ended September 28, 2018. These tax rates do not represent the combined company’s effective tax rate, which will include other tax charges and benefits, and does not take into account any historical or possible future tax events that may impact the combined company following the consummation of the L3Harris Merger.
l.
Increase in common stock due to shares of L3Harris common stock issued for L3 common stock, L3 restricted stock units and L3 performance stock units. Diluted shares also include the dilutive impact of L3Harris stock options issued for L3 stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.

The changes in segment revenue, operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue (“operating margin percentage”) in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 were primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in segment operating results as a result of the L3Harris Merger during the quarter ended September 27, 2019. Because the Integrated Mission Systems segment is almost entirely comprised of L3 businesses, comparison to prior year segment operating metrics is not meaningful. In the quarter ended September 27, 2019, segment revenue benefited from growth in ISR missionization and increased demand from the U.S. Government for Wescam turret systems.

Segment operating margin percentage in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 was comparable with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 reflecting integration savings, offset by a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively lower operating margin percentage.

The decrease in segment operating margin percentage in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively lower operating margin percentage, partially offset by strong operational performance.

Because the Aviation Systems segment is primarily comprised of L3 businesses, comparison to certain prior year segment operating metrics is not meaningful. In the quarter ended September 27, 2019, segment revenue also reflected increased demand for fuzing and ordnance products in Defense Aviation Products, offset by a decline in comparative revenue in Commercial Training Solutions and the competitive loss of the U.S. Air Force C-17 contract.
The slight decrease in segment operating margin percentage in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively lower operating margin percentage, partially offset by improved operational performance.

Cash and cash equivalents
The $471 million net increase in cash and cash equivalents from the end of fiscal 2019 to the end of the quarter ended September 27, 2019 was primarily due to:
$1,132 million of net cash received from the L3Harris Merger;
$346 million of net proceeds from the sale the Harris Night Vision business;
$95 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options; and
$81 million of net cash provided by operating activities; partially offset by
$750 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock;
$177 million used to pay cash dividends;
$97 million of net repayments of borrowings; and
$84 million used for net additions of property, plant and equipment.
The $17 million net increase in cash and cash equivalents from the end of fiscal 2018 to the end of the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to:

42


$216 million of net proceeds from borrowings (primarily under our commercial paper program); and
$117 million of net cash provided by operating activities; partially offset by
$200 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock;
$82 million used to pay cash dividends; and
$31 million used for net additions of property, plant and equipment.
At September 27, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion, and we have a senior unsecured $2 billion revolving credit facility that expires in June 2024 (all of which was available to us as of September 27, 2019). Additionally, we had $7.0 billion of long-term debt outstanding at September 27, 2019, the majority of which was assumed in connection with the L3Harris Merger in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 or was incurred in connection with our acquisition of Exelis Inc. in fiscal 2015. Our $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents at September 27, 2019 included $233 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $155 million was considered permanently reinvested. Determining the future tax cost of repatriating such funds to the U.S. is not practical at this time. However, we have no current plans to repatriate the 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 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 and repayments of our debt securities at maturity for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. Our total capital expenditures for the Fiscal Transition Period are expected to be approximately $190 million. We anticipate tax payments in the Fiscal Transition Period 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 2019 Form 10-K and in the “Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations” section below in this MD&A (including repayment at maturity of the entire $400 million principal amount of our 2.700% Notes due April 27, 2020 and $250 million of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020), capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase program, L3Harris Merger-related integration and other costs and cash payments to counterparties upon termination of yield-based treasury lock agreements (see Note U — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information regarding derivative instruments), we do not anticipate any significant cash outlays during the the next 12 months.
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 $36 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to $302 million of cash used to make voluntary pension contributions, $319 million of cash used to fund L3Harris Merger integration and transaction cost payments, including restructuring and change-in-control payments under certain postretirement and deferred compensation plans, mostly offset by the inclusion of cash flows from L3 operations, earnings growth and a decrease in cash used to fund working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities: The $1.45 billion increase in net cash provided by investing activities in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to $1.13 billion of net cash received from the L3Harris Merger and $346 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Harris Night Vision business, partially offset by a $53 million increase in cash used for net additions of property, plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities: The $945 million increase in net cash used in financing activities in the quarter ended September 27, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 28, 2018 was primarily due to a $550 million increase in cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock, $213 million less net proceeds from borrowings and $100 million more cash used for repayment of borrowings.

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 defined benefit 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 voluntary contributions of $302 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the quarter ended September 27, 2019. As a result, we currently do not anticipate making any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans and we anticipate making only minor contributions to our non-U.S. pension plans during the remainder of the Fiscal Transition Period.
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 $2.1 billion at September 27, 2019. See Note 14: “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K and Note N — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information regarding our pension plans.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we used $750 million to repurchase 3,582,500 shares of our common stock under our 2019 Repurchase Program (as defined below) at an average price per share of $209.40, including commissions of $.02 per share. During the quarter ended September 28, 2018, we used $200 million to repurchase 1,219,750 shares of our common stock under our prior repurchase program at an average price per share of $163.99, including commissions of $.02 per share. During the quarters ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, $83 million and $18 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 canceled and retired. As of September 27, 2019, we had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $3.2 billion under our 2019 Repurchase Program.
On July 1, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new $4 billion share repurchase authorization (“2019 Repurchase Program”). The 2019 Repurchase Program replaced our prior share repurchase program, which had a remaining unused authorization of approximately $501 million, as well as L3’s prior share repurchase program. Although the 2019 Repurchase Program does not have a stated expiration date, we announced that we expect to repurchase up to $2.5 billion in shares during the twelve months ended July 1, 2020, but we can give no assurance regarding the level and timing of share repurchases. At September 27, 2019, we had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $3.2 billion under our 2019 Repurchase Program. Repurchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program may be made through open-market transactions, 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 and management 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 2019 Repurchase Program is set forth in this Report under Part II. Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Dividends
On June 29, 2019, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend rate on our common stock from $.685 per share to $.75 per share, for an annualized cash dividend rate of $3.00 per share, which was our eighteenth consecutive annual increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate. The new dividend rate of $.75 per share is effective for dividends declared during the Fiscal Transition Period ending January 3, 2020 and we expect to assess our future dividend rate during the first quarter of calendar year 2020. Our annualized cash dividend rate for fiscal 2019 was $2.74 per share. 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
2019 Credit Agreement: We have a $2 billion, 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”) under a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) entered into on June 28, 2019 with a syndicate of lenders. For a description of the 2019 Credit Facility and the 2019 Credit Agreement, see Note 12: “Credit Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K.
We were in compliance with the covenants in the 2019 Credit Agreement at September 27, 2019, including the covenant requiring that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement, to be greater than 0.65 to 1.00. At September 27, 2019, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement.
Exchange Offer: In connection with the L3Harris Merger, on May 30, 2019, we commenced offers to eligible holders to exchange any and all outstanding 4.950% Senior Notes due 2021, 3.850% Senior Notes due 2023, 3.950% Senior Notes due 2024, 3.850% Senior Notes due 2026 and 4.400% Senior Notes due 2028 issued by L3 for up to $3.35 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by L3Harris and cash. On July 2, 2019, we settled the debt exchange offer. See Note M — Debt in the Notes for additional information.
Long-Term Debt: For a description of our long-term variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, see Note M — Debt in the Notes.
Short-Term Debt: Our short-term debt at September 27, 2019 and June 28, 2019 was $3 million and $103 million, respectively. Our short-term debt at September 27, 2019 consisted of local borrowing by international subsidiaries for working capital needs. Our short-term debt at June 28, 2019 consisted of commercial paper and local borrowing by international subsidiaries for working capital needs. Our commercial paper program was supported at September 27, 2019 and June 28, 2019 by the 2019 Credit Facility.
Other Agreements: We have a RSA with a third-party financial institution that permits us to sell, on a non-recourse basis, up to $100 million of outstanding receivables at any given time. From time to time, we have sold certain customer receivables under the RSA, which we continue to service and collect on behalf of the third-party financial institution and which we account for as sales of receivables with sale proceeds included in net cash from operating activities.
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
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 R&D services with the registrant.
As of September 27, 2019, 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 September 27, 2019, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that we believe are reasonably likely to adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and we were not a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our financial condition, 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 condition, 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 condition, results of operations or cash flows.

45


Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations
The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K include our contractual obligations and commercial commitments. Except for changes in our debt as described under “Capital Structure and Resources” in this MD&A as well as other changes resulting from the L3Harris Merger, no material changes occurred during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 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 2019 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, expenses and backlog 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. 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, (ii) postretirement benefit plans, (iii) provisions for excess and obsolete inventory losses, (iv) impairment testing of goodwill, (v) accounting for business combinations and (vi) 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 2019 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 over time, typically using the percentage of completion (“POC”) cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, whereby we measure our progress towards completion of performance obligations based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to estimated total cost at completion under the contract. Because costs incurred represent work performed, we believe this method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under the POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, a single estimated profit margin is used to recognize profit for each performance obligation over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on a contract requires estimates of the total cost at completion and transaction price as well as measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price 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 and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Factors that must be considered in estimating the total transaction price include contractual cost or performance incentives (such as incentive fees, award fees and penalties) and other forms of variable consideration as well as our historical experience and expectation for performance on the contract. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain negotiated performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We include such estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
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 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, as the contract progresses, our estimates of total transaction price may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive award fees that are higher or lower than expected. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimated total transaction price are determined, the related impact on 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. Any anticipated losses on these contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become evident.

There were no individual impacts to operating income due to EAC adjustments in the quarters ended September 27, 2019 or September 28, 2018 that were material to our results of operations on a consolidated or segment basis for such periods.
We recognize revenue from numerous contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the good or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the amount for which we would sell the good or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not sold as bundled sale with any other products or services). The allocation of transaction price among separate performance obligations may impact the timing of revenue recognition but will not change the total revenue recognized on the contract.
A substantial majority of our revenue is derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, including foreign military sales contracts. These contracts are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the prices of our contract deliverables are typically based on our estimated or actual costs plus a reasonable profit margin. As a result, the standalone selling prices of the goods and services in these contracts are typically equal to the selling prices stated in the contract, thereby eliminating the need to allocate (or reallocate) the transaction price to the multiple performance obligations. In our non-U.S. Government contracts, when standalone selling prices are not directly observable, we also generally use the expected cost plus a margin approach to determine standalone selling price. In determining the appropriate margin under the cost plus margin approach, we consider historical margins on similar products sold to similar customers or within similar geographies where objective evidence is available. We may also consider our cost structure and profit objectives, the nature of the proposal, the effects of customization of pricing, our practices used to establish pricing of bundled products, the expected technological life of the product, margins earned on similar contracts with different customers and other factors to determine the appropriate margin.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
As part of our accounting for the L3Harris Merger, we completed a valuation and re-measurement of all L3 pension and other postretirement benefit (“OPEB”) plans as of the Closing Date and we recorded a $233 million increase to L3’s pension and OPEB liability as of June 29, 2019 based on the results of this valuation. The total L3 pension and OPEB liability assumed by L3Harris was $1.4 billion at the Closing Date. The discount rate assumption used was a yield curve rather than a single interest rate. For the pension plans, the average June 29, 2019 discount rate used was 3.54 percent for U.S. plans and 2.95 percent for Canadian plans. For OPEB plans, the average June 29, 2019 discount rate used was 3.31 percent for U.S. plans and 2.92 percent for Canadian plans. The long‐term expected rate of return on plan assets for the Fiscal Transition Period is 7.75 percent for the majority of our postretirement benefit plans.
Accounting for Business Combinations
We follow the acquisition method of accounting to record identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in the acquiree recognized in connection with acquired businesses at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition.
Intangible assets from business combinations are recognized at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and generally consist of customer relationships, trade names, developed technology and IPR&D. We determine the fair value of intangible assets based on estimates and judgments, including the timing and amount of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over their useful lives, generally ranging from three to twenty years. The preliminary estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger was approximately $6.8 billion.
We assess the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of such assets based on the expectations of undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. See Note B — Business Combination and Note K — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets 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 condition, 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.
The U.S. Government’s budget deficit and the national debt, as well as any inability of the U.S. Government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year and consequently having to shut down or operate on funding levels equivalent to its prior fiscal year pursuant to a “continuing resolution” 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.
Our ability to successfully manage ongoing business and organizational changes could impact our business results.
Our results of operations and cash flows are substantially affected by our mix of fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts. In particular, our fixed-price contracts 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.
The level of returns on defined benefit plan assets, changes in interest rates and other factors could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods.
We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary export licenses to conduct certain operations abroad, and Congress and the Executive Branch may prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments.
Disputes with our subcontractors or 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.
Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners.
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.

48


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.
Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, involve significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
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 are subject to government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
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.
Our commercial aviation products, systems and services business (a portion of L3’s business prior to the L3Harris Merger) is affected by global demand and economic factors that could negatively impact our financial results.
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.
We must attract and retain key employees, and any failure to do so could seriously harm us.
Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, so our business could be harmed in the event of a prolonged work stoppage.
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the L3Harris Merger or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the businesses.
Certain business uncertainties arising from the L3Harris Merger could adversely affect our businesses and operations.
We have incurred and will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the L3Harris Merger.
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 2019 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 2019 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. There were no material changes during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 with respect to the information appearing in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K.

49


Foreign Exchange and Currency: Our U.S. and foreign businesses enter into contracts with customers, subcontractors or vendors that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. We use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future foreign currency transactions. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency exchange risk include the accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10 percent change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held at September 27, 2019 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 currency denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. See Note U — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
Interest Rates: At September 27, 2019, 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 September 27, 2019 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.
At September 27, 2019, we also had long-term variable-rate debt obligations of $250 million, comprised of $250 million of Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020. 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 September 27, 2019 would not have had a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note M — Debt in the Notes for further information.
We utilize derivative instruments, from time to time, to mitigate interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt transactions. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such instrument are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest expense in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
At September 27, 2019, we had three outstanding treasury lock agreements, with a notional amount of $1.05 billion, to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with our anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate notes to redeem or repay at maturity the entire $400 million outstanding principal amount of our 2.7% Notes due April 27, 2020 and the entire $650 million outstanding principal amount of the 4.95% Notes due February 15, 2021. We designated these treasury locks as cash flow hedges against fluctuations in interest payments on the Notes due to changes in the benchmark interest rate prior to issuance, which we expect to occur before the date of maturity of the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes. An unrealized after-tax loss of $54 million associated with these treasury locks was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income at September 27, 2019. A 10 percent change in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate at September 27, 2019 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of these treasury lock agreements or our results of operations or cash flows. See Note U — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional 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 quarter ended September 27, 2019, 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 quarter ended September 27, 2019, 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. We are continuing the multi-year, phased
implementation targeted for completion in 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 core 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 fiscal 2018 and 2019, we successfully completed the initial implementation of the new core ERP system in four business units. As part of our integration with L3, we are in the process of incorporating our controls and procedures with respect to L3’s operations, and we will include internal controls with respect to L3’s operations in our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of 2020. Other than the system and related process changes described above as well as changes related to incorporating our controls and procedures with respect to L3’s operations, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
General. 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 September 27, 2019, 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 September 27, 2019 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 in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2019 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.
New Share Repurchase Program
On July 1, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new $4 billion share repurchase authorization (“2019 Repurchase Program”), replacing our prior share repurchase program. Repurchases under the new program may be made through open-market transactions, 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 and management 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.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the quarter ended September 27, 2019, we repurchased 3.6 million shares of our common stock under our 2019 Repurchase Program. 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 canceled and retired. The following table sets forth information with respect to repurchases by us of our common stock during the quarter ended September 27, 2019.

Exhibit 10.3
L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(August 1, 2019 CEO-COO Award)


1.    Performance Unit Award – Terms and Conditions. Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “Terms and Conditions”), L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation” which was formerly named “Harris Corporation”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “Employee”) a Performance Unit Award (the “Award”) of such number of performance units as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee (such units, as may be adjusted in accordance with Sections 1(c), 1(d) and 5 of these Terms and Conditions, the “Performance Units”). At all times, each Performance Unit shall be equal in value to one share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (a “Share”). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter or notice to the Employee specifying the number of Performance Units subject to the Award, the form of payment of the Award and certain other terms (the “Award Notice”) and the Statement of Performance Goals (as defined below) related thereto, are referred to as the “Agreement”).
(a)    Service Period and Performance Period. For purposes of the Agreement, the “Service Period” shall be the period from the grant date of the Award through June 29, 2022, and the “Performance Period” shall be the period from June 29, 2019 through December 31, 2021.
(b)    Payout of Award. Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Service Period, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the expiration of the Service Period, (i) if the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall issue to the Employee in a single payment the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto; or (ii) if the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in cash, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee a single lump sum cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the date of the expiration of the Service Period) of the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto; in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. If the Award is to be paid in Shares, upon payout the Corporation shall at its option, cause such Shares as to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto: (i) to be released without restriction on transfer by delivery to the custody of the Employee of a stock certificate in the name of the Employee or his or her designee or (ii) to be credited without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee.
(c)    Satisfaction of Performance Objectives. The payout of the Award shall be contingent upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”). Subject to the application of Section 5, the payout of the Award shall be determined upon the expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals. The final determination of the payout of the Award will be authorized by the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee. Performance Units will be forfeited (A) if they are not earned at the end of the Performance Period or (B) except as otherwise provided herein, if the Employee ceases to be employed by the Corporation at any time prior to the expiration of the Service Period.
(d)    Rights During Service Period; Dividend Equivalents.
(i)    During the Service Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Performance Units.
(ii)    During the Service Period, if the Corporation pays dividends or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, the Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation at the time of payout in respect of the Award dividend equivalents for such dividends or other distributions, either in cash, in the case of a cash dividend or cash distribution, or other property, in the case of a non-cash dividend or non-cash distribution, as applicable, in respect of the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled, in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. No such dividend equivalents will be paid in respect of Performance Units that are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be paid on any such dividend equivalents.
(iii)    If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Performance Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Service Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.
2.    Forfeiture for Termination of Employment; Exceptions. Except in connection with a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Service Period:
(a)    for any reason other than those described in Section 2(b) or (c) below, all Performance Units subject to the Award shall be immediately and automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment;
(b)    due to (i) death or (ii) permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) in each case, prior to a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein, the Employee’s heirs or beneficiaries or the Employee, as applicable, shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units subject to the Award at the target level of performance, as set forth in the Award Notice and/or Statement of Performance Goals (such number, the “Target Number” and such target level, the “Target Performance Level”). The Service Period shall immediately expire upon the Employee so ceasing to be an employee of the Corporation with respect to such Target Number of Performance Units vested pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b), and the payout in respect of such Performance Units shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable (A) in the case of death, following such immediate expiration of the Service Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Service Period, and (B) in the case of permanent disability, following the earlier of (1) expiration of the original Service Period as though no termination of employment had occurred and (2) the occurrence of a Change in Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑3(i)(5), but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such event in the foregoing clauses (1) or (2); or
(c)    due to (i) involuntary termination by the Corporation other than for Cause (as defined below) or (ii) voluntary termination by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case, prior to a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein, the Employee shall be eligible to receive a portion of the payout (the “Eligible Vesting Portion”) in respect of the Performance Units which would have been made to the Employee under the Award at the end of the Service Period determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c) hereof, and the remaining portion of the payout and Performance Units subject to the Award shall be immediately and automatically forfeited; provided, however, in the case of a termination described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2(c) on or after June 29, 2021 and through June 29, 2022, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period at a minimum of the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives, but may be determined to have been attained at a higher level (for avoidance of doubt, if actual attainment of the performance objectives is less than the Target Performance Level, then the Target Performance Level shall be deemed to apply). Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Eligible Vesting Portion shall be determined based on the date of such termination as set forth in the following table:
Termination Date
Eligible Vesting Portion of Performance Units
Prior to June 29, 2020
1/3 (one third)
On or after June 29, 2020, but prior to June 29, 2021
2/3 (two thirds)
On or after June 29, 2021 and through June 29, 2022
100.00%

The Eligible Vesting Portion of the payout in respect of the Performance Units required to be paid under this Section 2(c) shall be paid to the Employee in the form and at the time as specified in Section 1(b).
(d)    For purposes of the Agreement:
(i)
Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence following June 29, 2019 of an event constituting “Good Reason”, as defined in the Employee’s employment agreement with the Corporation as in effect as of the date of the Agreement (as may be amended from time to time thereafter); and

(ii)
Cause” means, the occurrence following June 29, 2019 of an event constituting “Cause”, as defined in the Employee’s employment agreement with the Corporation as in effect as of the date of the Agreement (as may be amended from time to time thereafter).

(e)    Any payout pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan.
3.    Reserved.
4.    Prohibition Against Transfer. Until the expiration of the Service Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Performance Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Service Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Performance Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.
5.    Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control of the Corporation following the grant date of the Award but prior to the end of the Performance Period, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period upon the occurrence of such Change in Control at the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives, or at such greater level of performance as the Board, the Board Committee or its designee may authorize. The payout of the Performance Units shall be paid to the Employee in the form and at the time specified in Section 1(b); provided, however, that, following such Change in Control but prior to the end of the Service Period: (i) in the event of the Employee’s death, the Service Period shall immediately expire upon such death, and the payout of the Performance Units shall be vested immediately and shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following such death, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter; (ii) in the event of involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control (which includes a termination due to permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) for this purpose), or voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, the payout of the Performance Units shall be vested immediately upon such termination and shall be paid following the end of the original Service Period as though no termination had occurred; provided, further, however, that if such Change in Control qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑3(i)(5), the Service Period shall immediately expire upon such termination of employment, and the payout of the Performance Units shall be vested immediately and shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following such expiration of the Service Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, and (iii) in the event of the Employee’s resignation or termination for Cause, the payout of the Award shall be forfeited. Any payout pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to such Change in Control due to either (I) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause or (II) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason, and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination other than for Cause or the circumstance(s) constituting Good Reason was in connection with integration planning for such Change in Control, then for all purposes of the Agreement, the date of such Change in Control shall be deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.

6.    Protective Covenants. In consideration of, among other things, the grant of the Award to the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees, by acceptance of the Award, to the following provisions:

(a)Non-Solicitation. During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other employer or any other business, person or entity: (i) recruit, induce, Solicit or attempt to recruit, induce or Solicit any Individual Employed by the Corporation to terminate, abandon or otherwise leave or discontinue employment with the Corporation; or (ii) hire or cause or assist any Individual Employed by the Corporation to become employed by or provide services to any other business, person or entity whether as an employee, consultant, contractor or otherwise.

(b)Customer and Potential Customer Non-Interference. During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or (i) on behalf of any other employer or any other business, person or entity, entice, induce, Solicit or attempt or participate in enticing, inducing or Soliciting, any Customer or Potential Customer of the Corporation to cease or reduce or refrain from doing business with the Corporation; or (ii) on behalf of any Competitive Business, entice, induce, Solicit or attempt or participate in enticing, inducing or Soliciting, or accept or attempt or participate in accepting, business from any Customer or Potential Customer of the Covered Unit(s).

(c)Non-Competition. During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, officer, director, principal, lender or investor engage or otherwise participate in any activities with, or provide services to, a Competitive Business, without the prior written consent of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources or other designated executive officer of the Corporation (which consent shall be at such officer’s discretion to give or withhold). Nothing in this Section 6(c) shall preclude the Employee from owning up to 1% of the equity in any publicly traded company.

(d)No Disparagement or Detrimental Comments. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Corporation or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns. Nothing in this Section 6(d) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Employee from providing truthful testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Employee’s duties in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation.

(e)Confidentiality. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Corporation and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any third party received by the Corporation which the Corporation is obligated to keep confidential.

(f)Consideration and Acknowledgment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees to each of the following: (i) the Employee’s acceptance of the Award and participation in the Plan is voluntary; (ii) the benefits and rights provided by the Agreement and Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Corporation, do not constitute regular or periodic payments; (iii) the benefits and compensation provided under the Agreement are in addition to the benefits and compensation that otherwise are or would be available to the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and the grant of the Award is expressly contingent upon the Employee’s agreement with the Corporation contained in Sections 6 and 7; (iv) the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 6 are fair and reasonable; (v) if any provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the court making such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable, and if the provision is not capable of being modified or revised so that it is enforceable, it shall be excised from these Terms and Conditions without affecting the enforceability of the remaining provisions; and (vi) the time period of the Employee’s obligations under Sections 6(a), (b) and (c) shall be extended by a period equal to the length of any breach of those obligations by the Employee, in addition to any and all other remedies provided by these Terms and Conditions or otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity.

8.    Securities Law Requirements. If the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares pursuant to the Award, to the extent required, unless and until (a) such Shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Corporation’s stock is then registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such Shares is then effective.
9.    Board Committee Administration.

The Board Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.
10.    Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements upon Awards. If any of the Corporation’s financial statements are restated, as a result of errors, omissions, or fraud, the Board Committee may (in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith) direct that the Corporation recover all or a portion of any Award or payment made to the Employee with respect to any fiscal year of the Corporation the financial results of which are negatively affected by such restatement. The amount to be recovered shall be the amount by which the affected Award or payment exceeded the amount that would have been payable had the financial statements been initially filed as restated, or any greater or lesser amount (including, but not limited to, the entire Award) that the Board Committee shall determine. The Board Committee shall determine whether the Corporation shall effect any such recovery by: (a) seeking repayment from the Employee; (b) reducing the amount that would otherwise be payable to the Employee under any compensatory plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Corporation, a Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates; (c) withholding payment of future increases in compensation (including the payment of any discretionary bonus amount) or grants of compensatory awards that would otherwise have been made in accordance with the Corporation’s otherwise applicable compensation practices; or (d) any combination of the foregoing or otherwise (subject, in each of subclause (b), (c) and (d), to applicable law, including without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement).

11.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
12.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
(a)    The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Employee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Employee). A termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur for purposes of any provision of the Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and for purposes of any such provision in the Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death), to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Employee with respect to any income recognized by the Employee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Employee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Employee in connection with the Agreement.
(b)    Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
13.    Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery. By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with the Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).

14.    Miscellaneous. These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 12 of these Terms and Conditions, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (i) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (ii) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked. If the Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.

PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(August 1, 2019 Momentum Award)


1.    Performance Unit Award – Terms and Conditions. Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “Terms and Conditions”), L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation” which was formerly named “Harris Corporation”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “Employee”) a Performance Unit Award (the “Award”) of such number of performance units as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee (such units, as may be adjusted in accordance with Sections 1(c), 1(d) and 5 of these Terms and Conditions, the “Performance Units”). At all times, each Performance Unit shall be equal in value to one share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (a “Share”). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter or notice to the Employee specifying the number of Performance Units subject to the Award, the form of payment of the Award and certain other terms (the “Award Notice”) and the Statement of Performance Goals (as defined below) related thereto, are referred to as the “Agreement”).
(a)    Service Period and Performance Period. For purposes of the Agreement, the “Service Period” shall be the period from the grant date of the Award through June 29, 2022, and the “Performance Period” shall be the period from June 29, 2019 through December 31, 2021.
(b)    Payout of Award. Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Service Period, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the expiration of the Service Period, (i) if the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall issue to the Employee in a single payment the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto; or (ii) if the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in cash, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee a single lump sum cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the date of the expiration of the Service Period) of the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto; in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. If the Award is to be paid in Shares, upon payout the Corporation shall at its option, cause such Shares as to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto: (i) to be released without restriction on transfer by delivery to the custody of the Employee of a stock certificate in the name of the Employee or his or her designee or (ii) to be credited without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee.
(c)    Satisfaction of Performance Objectives. The payout of the Award shall be contingent upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”). Subject to the application of Section 5, the payout of the Award shall be determined upon the expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals. The final determination of the payout of the Award will be authorized by the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee. Performance Units will be forfeited (A) if they are not earned at the end of the Performance Period or (B) except as otherwise provided herein, if the Employee ceases to be employed by the Corporation at any time prior to the expiration of the Service Period.
(d)    Rights During Service Period; Dividend Equivalents.
(i)    During the Service Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Performance Units.
(ii)    During the Service Period, if the Corporation pays dividends or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, the Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation at the time of payout in respect of the Award dividend equivalents for such dividends or other distributions, either in cash, in the case of a cash dividend or cash distribution, or other property, in the case of a non-cash dividend or non-cash distribution, as applicable, in respect of the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled, in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. No such dividend equivalents will be paid in respect of Performance Units that are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be paid on any such dividend equivalents.
(iii)    If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Performance Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Service Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.
(e)    Adjustment to Award. The number of Performance Units subject to the Award is based upon the assumption that the Employee shall continue to perform substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and such number of Performance Units may be reduced or increased by the Board or the Board Committee or its designee without formal amendment of the Agreement to reflect a change in duties during the Performance Period.
2.    Forfeiture for Termination of Employment; Exceptions. Except in connection with a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Service Period:
(a)    for any reason other than those described in Section 2(b) or (c) below, all Performance Units subject to the Award shall be immediately and automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment;
(b)    due to (i) death or (ii) permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) in each case, prior to a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein, the Employee’s heirs or beneficiaries or the Employee, as applicable, shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units subject to the Award at the target level of performance, as set forth in the Award Notice and/or Statement of Performance Goals (such number, the “Target Number” and such target level, the “Target Performance Level”). The Service Period shall immediately expire upon the Employee so ceasing to be an employee of the Corporation with respect to such Target Number of Performance Units vested pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b), and the payout in respect of such Performance Units shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable (A) in the case of death, following such immediate expiration of the Service Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Service Period, and (B) in the case of permanent disability, following the earlier of (1) expiration of the original Service Period as though no termination of employment had occurred and (2) the occurrence of a Change in Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑3(i)(5), but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such event in the foregoing clauses (1) or (2); or
(c)    due to (i) involuntary termination by the Corporation other than for Cause (as defined below) or (ii) voluntary termination by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case, prior to a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein, the Employee shall be eligible to receive a portion of the payout (the “Eligible Vesting Portion”) in respect of the Performance Units which would have been made to the Employee under the Award at the end of the Service Period determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c) hereof, and the remaining portion of the payout and Performance Units subject to the Award shall be immediately and automatically forfeited; provided, however, in the case of a termination described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2(c) on or after June 29, 2021 and through June 29, 2022, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period at a minimum of the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives, but may be determined to have been attained at a higher level (for avoidance of doubt, if actual attainment of the performance objectives is less than the Target Performance Level, then the Target Performance Level shall be deemed to apply). Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Eligible Vesting Portion shall be determined based on the date of such termination as set forth in the following table:
Termination Date
Eligible Vesting Portion of Performance Units
Prior to June 29, 2020
1/3 (one third)
On or after June 29, 2020, but prior to June 29, 2021
2/3 (two thirds)
On or after June 29, 2021 and through June 29, 2022
100.00%

The Eligible Vesting Portion of the payout in respect of the Performance Units required to be paid under this Section 2(c) shall be paid to the Employee in the form and at the time as specified in Section 1(b).

(i)
Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of either of the following events following June 29, 2019: (A) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in the Employee’s annual base salary (or wage rate, as applicable) or (B) a requirement that the Employee be based at another location not within fifty (50) miles of the location where the Employee was, or was contemplated to be, regularly employed based on the role contemplated for the Employee following June 29, 2019 (except for required travel on business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s duties and responsibilities); provided, that, in each case, (x) the Employee shall provide the Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstance(s) alleged to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the first occurrence of such circumstance(s), (y) the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstance(s) and (z) if the Corporation has not cured such circumstance(s) within such thirty (30)-day period, the Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period; and:

(ii)
“Cause” means:

3.    Transfer of Employment. If the Employee transfers employment from one business unit of the Corporation or an Affiliate to another business unit or Affiliate during the Performance Period, the Employee shall be eligible to receive the number of Performance Units determined by the Board or the Board Committee or its designee based upon such factors as the Board or the Board Committee or its designee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion may deem appropriate.
4.    Prohibition Against Transfer. Until the expiration of the Service Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Performance Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Service Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Performance Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process.

5.    Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to such Change in Control due to either (I) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause or (II) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason, and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination other than for Cause or the circumstance(s) constituting Good Reason was in connection with integration planning for such Change in Control, then for all purposes of the Agreement, the date of such Change in Control shall be deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.

Nothing in this Section 6(d) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Employee from providing truthful testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Employee’s duties in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation.

(e)Confidentiality. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Corporation and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any third party received by the Corporation which the Corporation is obligated to keep confidential. This Section 6(e) will apply in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other confidentiality or non‑disclosure agreement that may exist, now or in the future, between the Employee and the Corporation.

(f)Consideration and Acknowledgment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees to each of the following: (i) the Employee’s acceptance of the Award and participation in the Plan is voluntary; (ii) the benefits and rights provided by the Agreement and Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Corporation, do not constitute regular or periodic payments; (iii) the benefits and compensation provided under the Agreement are in addition to the benefits and compensation that otherwise are or would be available to the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and the grant of the Award is expressly contingent upon the Employee’s agreement with the Corporation contained in Sections 6 and 7; (iv) the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 6 are fair and reasonable; (v) if any provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the court making such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable, and if the provision is not capable of being modified or revised so that it is enforceable, it shall be excised from these Terms and Conditions without affecting the enforceability of the remaining provisions; and (vi) the time period of the Employee’s obligations under Sections 6(a), (b) and (c) shall be extended by a period equal to the length of any breach of those obligations by the Employee, in addition to any and all other remedies provided by these Terms and Conditions or otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity.

(b)    Additional Relief. The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that: (i) the remedy provided for in Section 7(a) shall not be the exclusive remedy available to the Corporation for a breach of the provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and shall not limit the Corporation from seeking damages or injunctive relief; and (ii) the Corporation’s remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Corporation against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), and therefore, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity (including, but not limited to, the rights under Section 7(a)), in addition to and cumulative with such rights, the Corporation shall be entitled to the granting of injunctive relief in its favor and to specific performance without proof of actual damages and without the requirement of posting of any bond or similar security.

8.    Securities Law Requirements. If the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares pursuant to the Award, to the extent required, unless and until (a) such Shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Corporation’s stock is then registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such Shares is then effective.
9.    Board Committee Administration. The Board Committee shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan as in effect from time to time, to construe these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board Committee necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Board Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.
10.    Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements upon Awards. If any of the Corporation’s financial statements are restated, as a result of errors, omissions, or fraud, the Board Committee may (in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith) direct that the Corporation recover all or a portion of any Award or payment made to the Employee with respect to any fiscal year of the Corporation the financial results of which are negatively affected by such restatement. The amount to be recovered shall be the amount by which the affected Award or payment exceeded the amount that would have been payable had the financial statements been initially filed as restated, or any greater or lesser amount (including, but not limited to, the entire Award) that the Board Committee shall determine. The Board Committee shall determine whether the Corporation shall effect any such recovery by: (a) seeking repayment from the Employee; (b) reducing the amount that would otherwise be payable to the Employee under any compensatory plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Corporation, a Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates; (c) withholding payment of future increases in compensation (including the payment of any discretionary bonus amount) or grants of compensatory awards that would otherwise have been made in accordance with the Corporation’s otherwise applicable compensation practices; or (d) any combination of the foregoing or otherwise (subject, in each of subclause (b), (c) and (d), to applicable law, including without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement). This Section 10 shall be a non-exclusive remedy and nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude the Corporation from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to, or in lieu of this Section 10.
11.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
12.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
(a)    The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Employee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Employee). A termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur for purposes of any provision of the Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and for purposes of any such provision in the Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death), to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Employee with respect to any income recognized by the Employee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Employee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Employee in connection with the Agreement.
(b)    Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
13.    Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery. By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with the Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).

14.    Miscellaneous. These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 12 of these Terms and Conditions, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (i) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (ii) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked. If the Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.

2.    Vesting and Exercisability; Impact of Termination of Employment

(a)    Except as set forth in Section 2(a)(i)-(iii) and Section 2(e), the Option shall not vest or be exercisable to any extent unless the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ of the Corporation for the period from the Grant Date through June 29, 2022 (the “Service Period”), in which case the Option shall vest and become exercisable as provided in Section 2(d), and if such continuous employment for the Service Period is not satisfied, the Option, shall terminate immediately upon the Employee’s termination of employment with the Corporation.

In the event, prior to expiration of the Service Period, of the death of the Employee (x) while employed by the Corporation, or (y) following the Employee’s cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, the Option shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to the number of Shares subject to the Award at the target level of performance, as set forth in the Award Notice and/or Statement of Performance Goals (such number, the “Target Number of Shares” and such target level, the “Target Performance Level”), and may be exercised by the Employee’s Beneficiary (as defined below) but only until the earlier of (A) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such death or (B) the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, in the event of the death of the Employee following expiration of the Service Period or following termination of or cessation of employment with the Corporation, unless the first sentence of this Section 2(a)(ii) is applicable, the Option may be exercised by the Employee’s Beneficiary but only until the earlier of (I) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such death or (II) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable on the day immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s death.

(iii)    Disability. In the event, prior to expiration of the Service Period, of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, the Option shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to the Target Number of Shares and unless the first sentence of Section 2(a)(ii) becomes applicable, may be exercised by the Employee until the earlier of (x) the date that is twelve (12) months following such cessation of employment due to permanent disability or (y) the Expiration Date. In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation following expiration of the Service Period, the Option may be exercised by the Employee but only until the earlier of (I) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such cessation of employment or (II) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable on the day immediately prior to the date of such cessation of employment.

(iv)    Retirement. In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to retirement of the Employee after reaching age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service with the Corporation on or after June 29, 2020, the Option (x) to the extent unvested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited and (y) to the extent vested, may be exercised by the Employee but only until the Expiration Date.

(v)    Other Voluntary Termination. In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to voluntary termination by the Employee without Good Reason (other than as described in Section 2(a)(iv)), the Option (x) to the extent unvested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited and (y) to the extent vested, may be exercised by the Employee but only until the earlier of (A) the date that is ninety (90) days following such termination of employment or (B) the Expiration Date.

(vi)    Termination for Cause. The Option, regardless of the extent to which it previously may have vested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited in its entirety and shall not be exercisable if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation due to a termination of the Employee’s employment for Cause.

(vii)    For purposes of the Agreement:

(1)    “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence following June 29, 2019 of an event constituting “Good Reason”, as defined in the Employee’s employment agreement with the Corporation as in effect as of the date of the Agreement (as may be amended from time to time thereafter); and

(2)    “Cause” means, the occurrence following June 29, 2019 of an event constituting “Cause”, as defined in the Employee’s employment agreement with the Corporation as in effect as of the date of the Agreement (as may be amended from time to time thereafter).

(b)    During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Employee, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2(a) or 2(e), only while the Employee continues as an employee of the Corporation.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, the Option shall expire no later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”) and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

(d)    Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice or this Section 2, the Option shall vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period as to a number of Shares that is contingent on the attainment during the period ending December 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”) of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”). Such number of Shares (the “Vested Option Shares”) shall be determined upon expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals, with the final determination of the Vested Option Shares authorized by the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee as soon as administratively practicable following expiration of the Performance Period.

(e)    Upon a Change in Control of the Corporation following the Grant Date but prior to the end of the Performance Period, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period upon the occurrence of such Change in Control at the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives for purposes of determining the Vested Option Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof as to which the Option shall be eligible to vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period; provided, however, that, following such Change in Control but prior to the end of the Service Period, the Service Period shall expire and the Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to the Vested Option Shares so eligible to vest immediately upon the earliest of: (w) death of the Employee, (x) cessation of employment due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, or (z) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, and in any such case, such Option shall remain exercisable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). In the event of the Employee’s retirement, voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason) or termination for Cause, the Option shall expire and be forfeited as set forth in Section 2(a)(iv), (v) and (iv).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(e) to the contrary, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to such Change in Control due to either (I) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause or (II) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason, and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination other than for Cause, or the circumstance(s) constituting Good Reason was in connection with integration planning for such Change in Control, then for all purposes of the Agreement, the date of such Change in Control shall be deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.

3.    Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised by delivering to the Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (a) a written notice, signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option, stating the designated number of Shares such person then elects to purchase; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Corporation, notice sent through an approved electronic means may be substituted for a signed, written notice, (b) payment in an amount equal to the full exercise price for the Shares to be purchased, and (c) if the Option is exercised by any person other than the Employee, such as the Employee’s Beneficiary, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such person has the right to exercise the Option. Payment of the exercise price shall be made (i) in cash, (ii) in previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or (iii) in any combination of cash and such shares. In addition to the foregoing, subject to the consent of the Corporation at the time of exercise in a manner consistent with Plan, the Option may be exercised in a “net exercise”, pursuant to which the Corporation shall reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed such exercise price and shall accept a cash or other payment from the undersigned to the extent of any remaining balance of such exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued (provided, however, that Shares will no longer be outstanding under the Option to the extent of such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued that are used to pay such exercise price pursuant to such “net exercise”). Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price that have been acquired through an exercise of a stock option must have been held at least six (6) months prior to exercise of the Option and shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of such exercise. Upon the exercise of the Option, the Corporation shall cause the Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised to be issued and delivered by crediting such Shares without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee or the Employee’s Beneficiary maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including, if the Corporation elects, through the Corporation retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. The Employee does not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any Shares as to which the Option shall not have been duly exercised and no rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the proper exercise of such Option.

4.    Prohibition Against Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary. The Option and rights granted by the Corporation under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. The Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “Employee’s Beneficiary”) to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under Section 2(a)(ii) following the Employee’s death. To be effective, such designation must be made in accordance with such rules and on such form as prescribed by the Corporation for such purpose, which completed form must be received by the office of the Corporate Secretary prior to the Employee’s death. If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee’s death, the Employee’s estate shall be deemed the Employee’s Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, the Option may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process.

This Section 10 shall be a non-exclusive remedy, and nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude the Corporation from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to or in lieu of this Section 10.

11.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. If the Corporation’s obligations and duties with respect to the Option are assumed or a new option is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Option to be employment by the Corporation.

(vi)    Termination for Cause. The Option, regardless of the extent to which it previously may have vested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited in its entirety and shall not be exercisable if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation due to a termination of the Employee’s employment for Cause.

(vii)    For purposes of the Agreement:

1)Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of either of the following events following June 29, 2019 and prior to the later of (x) the end of the Service Period or (y) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of a Change in Control described in Section 2(e): (a) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in the Employee’s annual base salary (or wage rate, as applicable) or (b) a requirement that the Employee be based at another location not within fifty (50) miles of the location where the Employee was, or was contemplated to be, regularly employed based on the role contemplated for the Employee following June 29, 2019 (except for required travel on business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s duties and responsibilities); provided, that, in each case, (i) the Employee shall provide the Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstance(s) alleged to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the first occurrence of such circumstance(s), (ii) the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstance(s) and (iii) if the Corporation has not cured such circumstance(s) within such thirty (30)-day period, the Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period; and
 
2)Cause” means:

a.    A material breach by the Employee of the duties and responsibilities of the Employee (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (i) demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the Employee’s part, (ii) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (iii) not remedied within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such breach has occurred, or

(b)    During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Employee, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2(a) or 2(e), only while the Employee continues as an employee of the Corporation.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, the Option shall expire no later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”) and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

(d)    Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice or this Section 2, the Option shall vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period as to a number of Shares that is contingent on the attainment during the period ending December 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”) of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”). Such number of Shares (the “Vested Option Shares”) shall be determined upon expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals, with the final determination of the Vested Option Shares authorized by the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee as soon as administratively practicable following expiration of the Performance Period.

(e)    Upon a Change in Control of the Corporation following the Grant Date but prior to the end of the Performance Period, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period upon the occurrence of such Change in Control at the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives for purposes of determining the Vested Option Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof as to which the Option shall be eligible to vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period; provided, however, that, following such Change in Control but prior to the end of the Service Period, the Service Period shall expire and the Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to the Vested Option Shares so eligible to vest immediately upon the earliest of: (w) death of the Employee, (x) cessation of employment due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, or (z) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, and in any such case, such Option shall remain exercisable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). In the event of the Employee’s retirement, voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason) or termination for Cause, the Option shall expire and be forfeited as set forth in Section 2(a)(iv), (v) and (iv).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(e) to the contrary, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to such Change in Control due to either (I) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause or (II) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason, and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination other than for Cause, or the circumstance(s) constituting Good Reason was in connection with integration planning for such Change in Control, then for all purposes of the Agreement, the date of such Change in Control shall be deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.

(f)    Adjustment to the Award. The number of Shares subject to the Award, as well as the Target Number of Shares and the threshold number of Shares (as set forth in the Award Notice, corresponding to the threshold level of performance under the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals), are based on the assumption that the Employee shall continue to perform substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and such numbers of Shares may be reduced or increased by the Board, the Board Committee or its designee without formal amendment of the Agreement to reflect a change in the Employee’s duties during the Performance Period.
 
3.    Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised by delivering to the Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (a) a written notice, signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option, stating the designated number of Shares such person then elects to purchase; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Corporation, notice sent through an approved electronic means may be substituted for a signed, written notice, (b) payment in an amount equal to the full exercise price for the Shares to be purchased, and (c) if the Option is exercised by any person other than the Employee, such as the Employee’s Beneficiary, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such person has the right to exercise the Option. Payment of the exercise price shall be made (i) in cash, (ii) in previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or (iii) in any combination of cash and such shares. In addition to the foregoing, subject to the consent of the Corporation at the time of exercise in a manner consistent with Plan, the Option may be exercised in a “net exercise”, pursuant to which the Corporation shall reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed such exercise price and shall accept a cash or other payment from the undersigned to the extent of any remaining balance of such exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued (provided, however, that Shares will no longer be outstanding under the Option to the extent of such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued that are used to pay such exercise price pursuant to such “net exercise”). Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price that have been acquired through an exercise of a stock option must have been held at least six (6) months prior to exercise of the Option and shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of such exercise. Upon the exercise of the Option, the Corporation shall cause the Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised to be issued and delivered by crediting such Shares without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee or the Employee’s Beneficiary maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including, if the Corporation elects, through the Corporation retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. The Employee does not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any Shares as to which the Option shall not have been duly exercised and no rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the proper exercise of such Option.

4.    Prohibition Against Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary. The Option and rights granted by the Corporation under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. The Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “Employee’s Beneficiary”) to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under Section 2(a)(ii) following the Employee’s death. To be effective, such designation must be made in accordance with such rules and on such form as prescribed by the Corporation for such purpose, which completed form must be received by the office of the Corporate Secretary prior to the Employee’s death. If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee’s death, the Employee’s estate shall be deemed the Employee’s Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, the Option may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

5.    Employment by Corporation, Subsidiary or Successor; Termination or Cessation of Employment. For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (a) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (b) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation) and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked.

6.    Protective Covenants. In consideration of, among other things, the grant of the Option to the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees, by acceptance of the Option, to the following provisions:

During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Corporation or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns. Nothing in this Section 6(d) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Employee from providing truthful testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Employee’s duties in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation.

(e)    Confidentiality. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Corporation and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any third party received by the Corporation which the Corporation is obligated to keep confidential.

The Employee further understands and acknowledges that nothing contained in the Agreement limits the Employee’s ability (1) to report possible violations of law or regulation to, or file a charge or complaint with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Justice, the Congress, any Inspector General, or any other Federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”); (2) to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Corporation; or (3) under applicable United States Federal law to (i) disclose in confidence trade secrets to Federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

This Section 10 shall be a non-exclusive remedy, and nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude the Corporation from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to or in lieu of this Section 10.

11.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

If the Corporation’s obligations and duties with respect to the Option are assumed or a new option is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Option to be employment by the Corporation.

2)Cause” means:

a.    A material breach by the Employee of the duties and responsibilities of the Employee (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (i) demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the Employee’s part, (ii) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (iii) not remedied within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such breach has occurred, or

b.    The Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony involving willful misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.

(b)    During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Employee, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2(a) or 2(e), only while the Employee continues as an employee of the Corporation.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, the Option shall expire no later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”) and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

(d)    Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice or this Section 2, the Option shall vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period as to a number of Shares that is contingent on the attainment during the period ending December 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”) of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”). Such number of Shares (the “Vested Option Shares”) shall be determined upon expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals, with the final determination of the Vested Option Shares authorized by the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee as soon as administratively practicable following expiration of the Performance Period. For avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding that the number of Shares subject to the Award is the maximum number of Shares as to which the Option may vest and become exercisable based on attainment during the Performance Period of the maximum level of performance under the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (the “Maximum Performance Level” and the number of Shares set forth in the Award Notice corresponding to the Maximum Performance Level, the “Maximum Number of Shares”) (in order to preserve the closing price on the Grant Date for a Share as the exercise price for all Shares subject to the Award), the Option shall not vest or be exercisable as to the number of Shares equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the number of Shares subject to the Award (i.e., the Maximum Number of Shares) over (ii) the Vested Option Shares (determined in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2(d) or 2(e), and the Employee shall not earn and shall forfeit the portion of the Award corresponding to such excess as of the end of the Performance Period.

(e)    Upon a Change in Control of the Corporation following the Grant Date but prior to the end of the Performance Period, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period upon the occurrence of such Change in Control at the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives, or at such greater level of performance as the Board, the Board Committee or its designee may authorize, for purposes of determining the Vested Option Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof as to which the Option shall be eligible to vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period; provided, however, that, following such Change in Control but prior to the end of the Service Period, the Service Period shall expire and the Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to the Vested Option Shares so eligible to vest immediately upon the earliest of: (w) death of the Employee, (x) cessation of employment due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, or (z) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, and in any such case, such Option shall remain exercisable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). In the event of the Employee’s retirement, voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason) or termination for Cause, the Option shall expire and be forfeited as set forth in Section 2(a)(iv), (v) and (iv).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(e) to the contrary, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to such Change in Control due to either (I) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause or (II) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason, and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination other than for Cause, or the circumstance(s) constituting Good Reason was in connection with integration planning for such Change in Control, then for all purposes of the Agreement, the date of such Change in Control shall be deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.

(f)    Adjustment to the Award. The number of Shares subject to the Award (i.e., the Maximum Number of Shares), as well as the Target Number of Shares and the threshold number of Shares (as set forth in the Award Notice, corresponding to the threshold level of performance under the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals), are based on the assumption that the Employee shall continue to perform substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and such numbers of Shares may be reduced or increased by the Board, the Board Committee or its designee without formal amendment of the Agreement to reflect a change in the Employee’s duties during the Performance Period.
 
3.    Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised by delivering to the Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (a) a written notice, signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option, stating the designated number of Shares such person then elects to purchase; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Corporation, notice sent through an approved electronic means may be substituted for a signed, written notice, (b) payment in an amount equal to the full exercise price for the Shares to be purchased, and (c) if the Option is exercised by any person other than the Employee, such as the Employee’s Beneficiary, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such person has the right to exercise the Option. Payment of the exercise price shall be made (i) in cash, (ii) in previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or (iii) in any combination of cash and such shares. In addition to the foregoing, subject to the consent of the Corporation at the time of exercise in a manner consistent with Plan, the Option may be exercised in a “net exercise”, pursuant to which the Corporation shall reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed such exercise price and shall accept a cash or other payment from the undersigned to the extent of any remaining balance of such exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued (provided, however, that Shares will no longer be outstanding under the Option to the extent of such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued that are used to pay such exercise price pursuant to such “net exercise”). Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price that have been acquired through an exercise of a stock option must have been held at least six (6) months prior to exercise of the Option and shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of such exercise. Upon the exercise of the Option, the Corporation shall cause the Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised to be issued and delivered by crediting such Shares without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee or the Employee’s Beneficiary maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including, if the Corporation elects, through the Corporation retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. The Employee does not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any Shares as to which the Option shall not have been duly exercised and no rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the proper exercise of such Option.

4.    Prohibition Against Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary. The Option and rights granted by the Corporation under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. The Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “Employee’s Beneficiary”) to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under Section 2(a)(ii) following the Employee’s death. To be effective, such designation must be made in accordance with such rules and on such form as prescribed by the Corporation for such purpose, which completed form must be received by the office of the Corporate Secretary prior to the Employee’s death. If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee’s death, the Employee’s estate shall be deemed the Employee’s Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, the Option may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

5.    Employment by Corporation, Subsidiary or Successor; Termination or Cessation of Employment. For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (a) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (b) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation) and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked.

6.    Protective Covenants. In consideration of, among other things, the grant of the Option to the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees, by acceptance of the Option, to the following provisions:

(a)    Non-Solicitation. During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other employer or any other business, person or entity: (i) recruit, induce, Solicit or attempt to recruit, induce or Solicit any Individual Employed by the Corporation to terminate, abandon or otherwise leave or discontinue employment with the Corporation; or (ii) hire or cause or assist any Individual Employed by the Corporation to become employed by or provide services to any other business, person or entity whether as an employee, consultant, contractor or otherwise.

During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, officer, director, principal, lender or investor, engage or otherwise participate in any activities with, or provide services to, a Competitive Business, without the prior written consent of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources or other designated executive officer of the Corporation (which consent shall be at such officer’s discretion to give or withhold). Nothing in this Section 6(c) shall preclude the Employee from owning up to one percent (1%) of the equity in any publicly traded company.

(d)    No Disparagement or Detrimental Comments. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Corporation or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns. Nothing in this Section 6(d) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Employee from providing truthful testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Employee’s duties in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation.

(e)    Confidentiality. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Corporation and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any third party received by the Corporation which the Corporation is obligated to keep confidential.

(f)    Consideration and Acknowledgment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees to each of the following: (i) the Employee’s acceptance of the Option and participation in the Plan is voluntary; (ii) the benefits and rights provided by the Agreement and Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Corporation, do not constitute regular or periodic payments; (iii) the benefits and compensation provided under the Agreement are in addition to the benefits and compensation that otherwise are or would be available to the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation, and the grant of the Option is expressly contingent upon the Employee’s agreement with the Corporation contained in Sections 6 and 7; (iv) the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 6 are fair and reasonable; (v) if any provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the court making such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable, and if the provision is not capable of being modified or revised so that it is enforceable, it shall be excised from these Terms and Conditions without affecting the enforceability of the remaining provisions; and (vi) the time period of the Employee’s obligations under Sections 6(a), ( b) and (c) shall be extended by a period equal to the length of any breach of those obligations by the Employee, in addition to any and all other remedies provided by these Terms and Conditions or otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity. The Employee further understands and acknowledges that nothing contained in the Agreement limits the Employee’s ability (1) to report possible violations of law or regulation to, or file a charge or complaint with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Justice, the Congress, any Inspector General, or any other Federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”); (2) to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Corporation; or (3) under applicable United States Federal law to (i) disclose in confidence trade secrets to Federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

This Section 10 shall be a non-exclusive remedy, and nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude the Corporation from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to or in lieu of this Section 10.

11.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. If the Corporation’s obligations and duties with respect to the Option are assumed or a new option is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Option to be employment by the Corporation.

Exhibit 10.8
L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(August 1, 2019 Integration / Retention / Fiscal Transition Period Award)


1.    Restricted Unit Award Terms and Conditions. Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “Terms and Conditions”), L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation” which was formerly named “Harris Corporation”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “Employee”) a Restricted Unit Award (the “Award”) of such number of restricted units as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee (such units, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1(c) of these Terms and Conditions, the “Restricted Units”). At all times, each Restricted Unit shall be equal in value to one share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (a “Share”). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter or notice to the Employee specifying the Restricted Units subject to the Award, the Restriction Period, the form of payment of the Award and certain other terms (the “Award Notice”), are referred to as the “Agreement”).

(a)    Restriction Period. For purposes of the Agreement, the Restriction Period is the period beginning on the grant date and ending as set forth in the Award Notice (the “Restriction Period”). The Board Committee may, in accordance with the Plan and to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code (if applicable), accelerate the expiration of the Restriction Period as to some or all of the Restricted Units at any time.

(b)    Payout of Award. Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Restriction Period, (i) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall issue to the Employee in a single payment the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units; or (ii) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in cash, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee a single lump sum cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the date of the expiration of the Restriction Period) of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units; in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. If the Award is to be paid in Shares, upon payout the Corporation shall at its option, cause such Shares as to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto: (i) to be released without restriction on transfer by delivery to the custody of the Employee of a stock certificate in the name of the Employee or his or her designee or (ii) to be credited without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee.

(c)    Rights During Restriction Period; Dividend Equivalents. During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted Units. During the Restriction Period, if the Corporation pays dividends or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, the Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation at the time of payout in respect of the Award dividend equivalents for such dividends or other distributions, either in cash, in the case of a cash dividend or cash distribution, or other property, in the case of a non-cash dividend or non-cash distribution, as applicable, in respect of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units, in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. No such dividend equivalents will be paid in respect of Restricted Units that are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be paid on any such dividend equivalents. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.

2.    Prohibition Against Transfer. Until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

3.    Forfeiture for Termination of Employment; Exceptions.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, in the event the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period:

(i)    for any reason other than those described in Section 3(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 3(b), all Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment;

(ii)    due to retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service with the Corporation on or after June 29, 2020, the Employee shall be vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award, and the remaining portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited as of the date of such retirement. Such pro-rata portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of days of the Restriction Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the denominator is the number of days of the original Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall immediately expire upon such retirement with respect to such pro-rata portion that is vested pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii), and subject to Section 10, the payout in respect of such pro-rata portion shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period; or

(iii)    due to (A) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause (as defined below), or (B) if the Employee is not an “Eligible Employee” within the meaning of the L3 Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan, as in effect from time to time, voluntary termination by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Employee shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award. In any such event, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire upon such termination of employment, and subject to Section 10, the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period.

(iv)    For purposes of the Agreement:

(A)    “Cause” means (1) a material breach by the Employee of the duties and responsibilities of the Employee (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (x) demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the Employee’s part, (y) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (z) not remedied within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such breach has occurred, or (2) the Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony involving willful misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.

and

(B)    “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of either of the following events following June 29, 2019: (1) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in the Employee’s annual base salary (or wage rate, as applicable) or (2) a requirement that the Employee be based at another location not within fifty (50) miles of the location where the Employee was, or was contemplated to be, regularly employed based on the role contemplated for the Employee following June 29, 2019 (except for required travel on business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s duties and responsibilities); provided, that, in each case, (x) the Employee shall provide the Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstance(s) alleged to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the first occurrence of such circumstance(s), (y) the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstance(s) and (z) if the Corporation has not cured such circumstance(s) within such thirty (30)-day period, the Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period.

(b)    If the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period due to death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), the Employee’s heirs or beneficiaries or the Employee, as applicable, shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award. In such event, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire upon the Employee so ceasing to be an employee of the Corporation, and subject to Section 10, the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period.

4.    Change in Control. For avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation during the Restriction Period does not, in and of itself, accelerate or otherwise impact the vesting of the Restricted Units subject to the Award.

5.    Protective Covenants. In consideration of, among other things, the grant of the Award to the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees, by acceptance of the Award, to the following provisions:

(a)Non-Solicitation.

Nothing in this Section 5(c) shall preclude the Employee from owning up to 1% of the equity in any publicly traded company.

(d)No Disparagement or Detrimental Comments. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Corporation or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns. Nothing in this Section 5(d) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Employee from providing truthful testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Employee’s duties in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation.

(e)Confidentiality. During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Corporation and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any third party received by the Corporation which the Corporation is obligated to keep confidential.

9.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

10.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Employee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Employee). A retirement or termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur for purposes of any provision of the Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following retirement or termination of employment unless such retirement or termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and for purposes of any such provision in the Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “retire,” “retirement” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death) to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Employee with respect to any income recognized by the Employee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Employee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Employee in connection with the Agreement. Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

11.    Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery. By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with the Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).

12.    Miscellaneous. These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 10 of these Terms and Conditions, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (i) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation and (ii) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked. If the Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.

Exhibit 10.9
L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(New Hire / Other Award as of August 1, 2019)


1.    Restricted Unit Award Terms and Conditions. Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “Terms and Conditions”), L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation” which was formerly named “Harris Corporation”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “Employee”) a Restricted Unit Award (the “Award”) of such number of restricted units as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee (such units, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1(c) of these Terms and Conditions, the “Restricted Units”). At all times, each Restricted Unit shall be equal in value to one share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (a “Share”). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter or notice to the Employee specifying the Restricted Units subject to the Award, the Restriction Period, the form of payment of the Award and certain other terms (the “Award Notice”), are referred to as the “Agreement”).

(a)    Restriction Period. For purposes of the Agreement, the Restriction Period is the period beginning on the grant date and ending as set forth in the Award Notice (the “Restriction Period”). The Board Committee may, in accordance with the Plan and to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code (if applicable), accelerate the expiration of the Restriction Period as to some or all of the Restricted Units at any time.

(b)    Payout of Award. Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Restriction Period, (i) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall issue to the Employee in a single payment the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units; or (ii) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in cash, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee a single lump sum cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the date of the expiration of the Restriction Period) of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units; in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. If the Award is to be paid in Shares, upon payout the Corporation shall at its option, cause such Shares as to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto: (i) to be released without restriction on transfer by delivery to the custody of the Employee of a stock certificate in the name of the Employee or his or her designee or (ii) to be credited without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee.

(c)    Rights During Restriction Period; Dividend Equivalents. During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted Units. During the Restriction Period, if the Corporation pays dividends or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, the Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation at the time of payout in respect of the Award dividend equivalents for such dividends or other distributions, either in cash, in the case of a cash dividend or cash distribution, or other property, in the case of a non-cash dividend or non-cash distribution, as applicable, in respect of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units, in each case, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. No such dividend equivalents will be paid in respect of Restricted Units that are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be paid on any such dividend equivalents. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.

2.    Prohibition Against Transfer. Until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

3.    Forfeiture for Termination of Employment; Exceptions.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period:

Such pro-rata portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of days of the Restriction Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the denominator is the number of days of the original Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall immediately expire upon such retirement or termination of employment, as applicable, with respect to such pro-rata portion that is vested pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii), and subject to Section 10, the payout in respect of such pro-rata portion shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period; or

(iii)    due to (A) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause that occurs within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control that occurs after the grant date of the Award but prior to the end of the Restriction Period, or (B) voluntary termination by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below) that occurs within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control that occurs following the grant date of the Award but prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Employee shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award. In such event, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire upon such termination of employment, and subject to Section 10, the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period.

(iv)    For purposes of the Agreement:

(A)    “Cause” means (1) a material breach by the Employee of the duties and responsibilities of the Employee (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (x) demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the Employee’s part, (y) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (z) not remedied within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such breach has occurred, or (2) the Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony involving willful misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.

and

(B)    “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of either of the following events following the grant date of the Award: (1) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in the Employee’s annual base salary (or wage rate, as applicable) or (2) a requirement that the Employee be based at another location not within fifty (50) miles of the location where the Employee was, or was contemplated to be, regularly employed based on the role contemplated for the Employee in connection with the grant of the Award (except for required travel on business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s duties and responsibilities); provided, that, in each case, (x) the Employee shall provide the Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstance(s) alleged to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the first occurrence of such circumstance(s), (y) the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstance(s) and (z) if the Corporation has not cured such circumstance(s) within such thirty (30)-day period, the Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period.

(b)    If the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period due to death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), the Employee’s heirs or beneficiaries or the Employee, as applicable, shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award. In such event, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire upon the Employee so ceasing to be an employee of the Corporation, and subject to Section 10, the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period.

4.    Change in Control. For avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation during the Restriction Period does not, in and of itself, accelerate or otherwise impact the vesting of the Restricted Units subject to the Award.

6.    Remedies for Breach of Section 5.

(a)    Forfeiture and Clawback. The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that if the Employee breaches any provision of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Corporation, (i) the Award and all Restricted Units subject to the Award and any rights with respect to the Award and such Restricted Units shall upon written notice (which may be in electronic form) immediately be forfeited and terminate and be cancelled; and (ii) the Corporation shall have the right upon written notice (which may be in electronic form) to reclaim and receive from the Employee all Shares and cash, as applicable, issued or paid to the Employee in respect of the Restricted Units pursuant to Sections 1(b) and 1(c) above, or to the extent the Employee has transferred such Shares, the Fair Market Value thereof (as of the date such Shares were transferred by the Employee) in cash and any such return of Shares or payment of cash by the Employee which requires action on the part of the Employee shall be made within five (5) business days following receipt of written demand therefore.

(b)    Additional Relief. The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that: (i) the remedy provided for in Section 6(a) shall not be the exclusive remedy available to the Corporation for a breach of the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and shall not limit the Corporation from seeking damages or injunctive relief; and (ii) the Corporation’s remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Corporation against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), and therefore, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity (including, but not limited to, the rights under Section 6(a)), in addition to and cumulative with such rights, the Corporation shall be entitled to the granting of injunctive relief in its favor and to specific performance without proof of actual damages and without the requirement of posting of any bond or similar security.

(c)    Forum. The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that any judicial action brought with respect to the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of these Terms and Conditions may be filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida or in the Circuit Court of Brevard County, Florida and hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection he/she may now or hereafter have to such venue.

(d)    Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Corporation shall occur following the grant date of the Award and the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation in a circumstance set forth in Section 3(a)(iii) of these Terms and Conditions, the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect.

7.    Securities Law Requirements. If the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares pursuant to the Award, to the extent required, unless and until (a) such Shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Corporation’s Common Stock is then registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such Shares is then effective.

8.    Board Committee Administration. The Board Committee shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan as in effect from time to time, to construe these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board Committee necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Board Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.

9.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

10.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Employee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Employee). A retirement or termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur for purposes of any provision of the Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following retirement or termination of employment unless such retirement or termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and for purposes of any such provision in the Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “retire,” “retirement” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death) to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Employee with respect to any income recognized by the Employee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Employee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Employee in connection with the Agreement. Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

11.    Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery. By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with the Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).

12.    Miscellaneous. These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 10 of these Terms and Conditions, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (i) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation and (ii) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked. If the Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.
