NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) include the accounts of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (these “Notes”), the terms “L3Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared by L3Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial 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, cash flows and equity for the periods presented therein. The results for the quarter ended April 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at January 1, 2021 has been derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. We provide complete, audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2021 (our “Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K”).
Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.
L3Harris Merger
As discussed in more detail in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K, Harris Corporation (“Harris”) and L3 Technologies, Inc. (“L3”) combined their respective businesses on June 29, 2019, in an all-stock merger ("L3Harris Merger") that resulted in our combined Company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
L3Harris Merger-related expenses for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 were as follows:
Quarter Ended
(In millions) April 2, 2021 April 3, 2020
Additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold $ —  $ 15 
Integration costs, recognized as incurred 21  31 
Total L3Harris Merger-related expenses $ 21  $ 46 
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 above costs were recorded in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited), except for the 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).
For additional information, see Note 5: “Business Combination” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
Divestitures
See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for information regarding the divestitures of the following businesses announced by us in fiscal 2020 and 2021:
Airport security and automation business, completed on May 4, 2020;
Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business, completed on May 15, 2020;
EOTech business, completed on July 31, 2020;
VSE disposal group (as defined in Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes), definitive agreement entered into on February 23, 2021;

CPS business (as defined in Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes), definitive agreement entered into on March 1, 2021.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Non-cash investing and financing activities during the quarter ended April 2, 2021 included a $120 million right-of-use asset we obtained in exchange for a corresponding finance lease liability. These non-cash investing and financing activities are excluded from the “Net additions of property, plant and equipment” and “Net proceeds from borrowings” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited). There were no material non-cash investing or financing activities during the quarter ended April 3, 2020. Finance lease liabilities are included in the “Current portion of long-term debt, net” and “Long-term debt, net” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited).
Reclassifications
The classification of certain prior-year amounts have been adjusted in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to current-year classifications. Reclassifications include finance lease liabilities that were previously included in the “Other accrued items” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items and are now reflected in the “Current portion of long-term debt, net” and “Long-term debt, net” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) and in these Notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other information available prior to issuance of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
Significant Accounting Policies Update
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
Note B — Business Divestitures
CPS business. On March 1, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Combat Propulsion Systems and related businesses (“CPS business”) to RENK AG for $398 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions as set forth in the definitive agreement. The CPS business, which is reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment, engineers, designs and manufactures engines, transmissions, suspensions and turret drive systems for tracked and wheeled combat vehicle systems. Income before income taxes of our CPS business was $26 million and $16 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, respectively. We expect to complete the sale of the CPS business in the second half of fiscal 2021.
Because the pending divestiture of the CPS business would represent the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $174 million of goodwill to the CPS business on a relative fair value basis during the quarter ended April 2, 2021 when the held for sale criteria were met. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we recognized a $69 million pre-tax loss to reduce the net assets of the CPS business disposal group to fair value, which included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $62 million (based on the excess of the carrying value of the business over estimated net cash proceeds, after estimated purchase price adjustments) and a $7 million non-cash remeasurement loss. These charges are included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” and “Business divestiture-related losses” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter ended April 2, 2021.

Military training business. On February 27, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our military training business to CAE USA Inc., a subsidiary of CAE Inc., for $1,050 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions as set forth in the definitive agreement. The military training business, which is reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment, provides flight simulation solutions and training services to the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and foreign military agencies. Income before income taxes of our military training business was $16 million and $24 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, respectively. We expect to complete the sale of the military training business in the second half of fiscal 2021.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we tested goodwill assigned to the military training business disposal group for impairment and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed at the time the held for sale criteria were met.

VSE disposal group. On February 23, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain portions of our Voice Switch Enterprise business (“VSE disposal group”) for $20 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions as set forth in the definitive agreement. The VSE disposal group, which is reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment, provides voice over internet protocol systems for air traffic management communications. Income before income taxes of the VSE disposal group was not material for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 or April 3, 2020. We expect to complete the sale of the VSE disposal group in the second half of fiscal 2021.
Because the potential divestiture of the VSE disposal group would represent the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $14 million of goodwill to the VSE disposal group on a relative fair value basis during the quarter ended July 3, 2020 when the held for sale criteria were met. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for fiscal 2020, we recognized a $32 million pre-tax loss to reduce the net assets of the VSE disposal group to fair value, which included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $14 million (based on the excess of the carrying value of the business over estimated net cash proceeds, after estimated purchase price adjustments) and an $18 million non-cash remeasurement loss. During the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we recognized an additional $8 million loss to reduce the net assets of the VSE disposal group to fair value, which is included in the “Business divestiture-related losses” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter ended April 2, 2021. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the VSE disposal group classified as held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) were $30 million and $11 million, respectively, at April 2, 2021 and $35 million and $13 million, respectively, at January 1, 2021.
EOTech business. On July 31, 2020, we completed the divestiture of our EOTech business for $42 million (net cash proceeds of $40 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments), subject to final customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive sale agreement. The EOTech business manufactures holographic sighting systems, magnified field optics and accessories for military, law enforcement and commercial markets around the world. The operating results of the EOTech business during the quarter ended April 3, 2020 were reported as part of our Communication Systems segment. Income before income taxes of the EOTech business was not material for the quarter ended April 3, 2020.
Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business. On May 15, 2020, we completed the divestiture of our Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business for net cash proceeds of $12 million, after selling costs and purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive sale agreement. The operating results of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business during the quarter ended April 3, 2020 were reported as part of our Space and Airborne Systems segment. Income before income taxes of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business was not material for the quarter ended April 3, 2020. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we tested goodwill assigned to the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that goodwill related to the disposal
9



group was impaired. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter ended April 3, 2020.
Airport security and automation business. On May 4, 2020, we completed the divestiture of the airport security and automation business to Leidos, Inc. for $1 billion (net cash proceeds of $987 million after selling costs and purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive sale agreement). The airport security and automation business provides solutions used by the aviation and transportation industries, regulatory and customs authorities, government and law enforcement agencies and commercial and other high-security facilities. The operating results of the airport security and automation business during the quarter ended April 3, 2020 were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment. Income before income taxes of the airport security and automation business was $12 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2020.
For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal groups above, we determined the fair value of each disposal group based on the respective negotiated selling price (or estimated net cash proceeds, in the case of no negotiated selling price), and the fair value of the retained businesses of the respective reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. These fair value determinations are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to their use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. See Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy.
Note C — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation
As of April 2, 2021, we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two Harris shareholder-approved stock incentive plans (“SIPs”), the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 27, 2010) and the L3Harris Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective as of August 28, 2020) (the “2015 EIP”), as well as under employee stock incentive plans of L3 assumed by L3Harris (collectively, “L3Harris SIPs”). We believe that share-based awards more closely align the interests of participants with those of shareholders.
The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $33 million and $17 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, respectively. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that we issued under the terms of L3Harris SIPs, net of shares withheld for tax purposes, was 0.1 million and 0.5 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, respectively.
Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs during the quarter ended April 2, 2021 consisted of 0.5 million stock options, 0.2 million performance stock units and 0.1 million restricted 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 1.99 percent; expected volatility of 31.71 percent; risk-free interest rates averaging 0.75 percent; and expected term of 5.05 years. The fair value as of the grant date of each restricted stock unit award was based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value as of the grant date of each performance stock unit award was determined based on the fair value from a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulates our stock price and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to companies in our TSR peer group.
Note D — 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. We recorded restructuring charges in connection with the L3Harris Merger of $10 million during fiscal 2020 and $117 million during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. At April 2, 2021, we had liabilities of $17 million associated with these restructuring actions. We expect that the majority of the remaining liabilities as of April 2, 2021 will be paid in the next twelve months.
COVID-Related Restructuring Costs. During fiscal 2020, we recorded $15 million of restructuring charges for workforce reductions, including severance and other employee-related exit costs, within our Aviation Systems segment associated with the COVID-related downturn in our Commercial Aviation Solutions sector and its impact on global air traffic and customer operations, including $3 million recorded in the quarter ended April 3, 2020. At April 2, 2021, we had liabilities of $7 million
10



associated with these restructuring actions. We expect that the majority of the remaining liabilities as of April 2, 2021 will be paid in the next twelve months.
Our liabilities for restructuring and other exit costs are included in the “Compensation and benefits,” “Other accrued items” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Changes to our liabilities for restructuring and other exit costs during the quarter ended April 2, 2021 were as follows:

customer receivables under the RSAs, which we continue to service and collect on behalf of the third-party financial institutions 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 RSAs were not material at April 2, 2021 or January 1, 2021.
Note G — 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.
Contract assets and liabilities in the quarter ended April 2, 2021 were impacted primarily by reclassifications to assets and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale, accelerated progress payments due to the U.S. Government's increase in the progress payment rate from 80 percent to 90 percent and the timing of contractual billing milestones. See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information regarding assets and liabilities held for sale.

_______________
(1)During the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, we assigned $538 million and $599 million, respectively, of goodwill associated with pending divestitures to “Assets of disposal groups held for sale” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information.
CPS Business Impairment. During the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to the CPS business within our Aviation Systems segment and assigned $174 million of goodwill to the disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we concluded that goodwill related to the CPS business was impaired and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $62 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information.
Commercial Aviation Solutions Impairment. Indications of potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit (which is part of our Aviation Systems segment) were present at April 3, 2020 due to the COVID pandemic and its impact on global air traffic and customer operations, which resulted in a decrease in the fiscal 2020 outlook for the reporting unit, which we considered to be a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test. Consequently,
13



in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we performed a quantitative impairment test. To test for potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, we prepared an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. As a result of this impairment test, we concluded that goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit was impaired as of April 3, 2020 and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $296 million (including $28 million attributable to noncontrolling interests) in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter ended April 3, 2020. The goodwill impairment charge was primarily not deductible for tax purposes.
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 arising from the follow-on sales expected from the customer relationships over the estimated lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a contributory asset charge, all of which is discounted to present value. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of our finite-lived identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets annually, or under certain circumstances more frequently, such as when events and circumstances indicate there may be an impairment.

Note M — Income From Continuing Operations Per Share
The computations of income from continuing operations per common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders are as follows:
  Quarter Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts) April 2, 2021 April 3, 2020
Income from continuing operations (A) $ 469  $ 218 
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding (B) 206.7 217.3
Impact of dilutive share-based awards 1.8  2.0
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (C) 208.5 219.3
Income from continuing operations per basic common share (A)/(B) $ 2.27  $ 1.00 
Income from continuing operations per diluted common share (A)/(C) $ 2.25  $ 0.99 
Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. Income from continuing operations per diluted common share excludes the anti-dilutive impact of 1.6 million and 1.0 million weighted average share-based awards outstanding for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, respectively.
Note N — Non-Operating Income
The components of non-operating income were as follows:
Quarter Ended
(In millions) April 2, 2021 April 3, 2020
Pension adjustment(1)
$ 111  $ 97 
Other (2)
Total non-operating income $ 117  $ 95 
_______________
(1)Pension adjustment recorded in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) represents the non-service component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, which includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of net actuarial gain and effect of curtailments or settlements.
Note O — Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 11.4 percent for the quarter ended April 2, 2021 compared with 11.8 percent for the quarter ended April 3, 2020. For the quarter ended April 2, 2021, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of research and development (“R&D”) credits, the resolution of specific audit uncertainties and the recognition of deferred tax assets on the outside basis of entities held-for-sale. For the quarter ended April 3, 2020, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, R&D credits and the favorable impact of audit settlements, partially offset by a valuation allowance increase on international credits and the unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges.
Note P — 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.
16



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.
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) at April 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021:

See Note B — Business Divestitures and Note J — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in these Notes for information regarding fair value measurements associated with goodwill.
Note Q — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks and formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We 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.
17



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 inter-segment 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 (loss). Gains and losses in AOCI 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 April 2, 2021, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $406 million, hedging certain forecasted transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, New Zealand Dollars and Australian Dollars. At January 1, 2021, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $488 million, hedging certain forecasted transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars.
At April 2, 2021, our foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2025.
The table below presents the fair values of our derivatives designated as foreign currency hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at April 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021.
(In millions) April 2, 2021 January 1, 2021

_______________
(1)See Note P — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for a description of the fair value hierarchy related to our foreign currency forward contracts.
Net unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive loss were not material for the quarter ended April 2, 2021. During the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we recognized a net unrealized loss of $16 million before income taxes in other comprehensive loss from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. During the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, the net gain or loss reclassified from AOCI into earnings from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was not material. At April 2, 2021, the estimated amount of existing net gains to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months was $18 million.
Gains and losses from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are included in the line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) associated with the hedged transaction, with the exception of any losses resulting from discontinued cash flow hedges, which are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).
Note R — 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 our 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
18



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.
Net EAC adjustments had the following impact to earnings for the periods presented:
Quarter Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts) April 2, 2021 April 3, 2020
Net EAC adjustments, before income taxes $ 82  $ 103 
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes $ 62  $ 78 
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes, per diluted common share $ 0.30  $ 0.35 
Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $108 million and $136 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, respectively.
Note S — 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 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 April 2, 2021, our ending backlog was $21.4 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 75 percent of the revenue associated with this backlog by the end of 2022 and approximately 85 percent by the end of 2023, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter. At January 1, 2021, our ending backlog was $21.7 billion.
Note T — Business Segment Information
We structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we sell and the markets we serve, and we report the financial results of our continuing operations in the following four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments:
Integrated Mission Systems, including multi-mission intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) and communication systems; integrated electrical and electronic systems for maritime platforms; and advanced electro-optical and infrared solutions;

The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. We evaluate each business 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 recognizes a profit that is eliminated. The “Corporate eliminations” line item in the table below represents the elimination of intersegment sales. Corporate expenses are primarily allocated to our business segments using an allocation methodology prescribed by U.S. Government regulations for government contractors. The “Unallocated corporate expenses” line item in the table below represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments and elimination of intersegment profits. 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, amortization of net actuarial gain or loss, and effect of curtailments or settlements.
Segment revenue, segment operating income (loss) and a reconciliation of segment operating income to total income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows:

(1)Identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019 and our acquisition of Exelis Inc. in fiscal 2015 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 $7.3 billion and $7.9 billion at April 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021, 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 B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information.
Note U — 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 April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.
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, 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 April 2, 2021 are reserved against, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.

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 April 2, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the quarters ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, 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 January 1, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2021, 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 January 1, 2021, 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 2020 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.”
COVID 
The ongoing attempts to contain and reduce the spread of COVID, such as mandatory closures, “shelter-in-place” orders and travel and quarantine restrictions, have caused significant disruptions and adverse effects on the U.S. and global economies, such as impacts to supply chains, customer demand, international trade and capital markets. Our response has involved increasing our focus on keeping our employees safe while striving to maintain continuity of operations, meet customer commitments and support suppliers. For example, we instituted work-from-home (for employees who are able to work remotely) and social distancing arrangements; canceled travel and external events; procured personal protective equipment for employees; implemented health screening procedures at all facilities; staggered work shifts, redesigned work stations, implemented stringent cleaning protocols and initiated more detailed safety precautions and protocols for on-site work, such as daily health assessments and mandatory face coverings, which currently remain in effect. We have also maintained an active dialog with key suppliers and developed plans to mitigate supply chain risks. We have allowed certain essential business travel to resume, and we continue to expect to utilize a phased approach based on local conditions for transitioning employees from work-from-home arrangements to on-site work or hybrid arrangements. As COVID vaccines are being distributed and administered throughout the U.S. and global community, we are currently facilitating the provision of vaccines to our workforce.
The U.S. Government response to COVID has included identifying the defense industrial base as a Critical Infrastructure Sector and enhancing cash flow and liquidity for the defense industrial base, such as by increasing progress payments and accelerating contract awards. As a part of the defense industrial base, these actions have enabled us to keep our U.S. production facilities largely operational in support of national security commitments to U.S. Government customers and to accelerate payments to small business suppliers, which we expect to continue while the U.S. Government’s responsive actions remain in effect.
Although we believe that the large percentage of our revenue, earnings and cash flow that is derived from sales to the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, will be relatively predictable, in part due to the responsive actions taken by the U.S. Government described above, our commercial, international and public safety businesses are at a higher risk of adverse impacts related to COVID. For example, the severe decline in global air traffic from travel restrictions and the resulting downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations has significantly reduced demand for flight training, flight simulators and commercial avionics products in our Aviation Systems segment. As a result, we recognized $767 million of charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets and other COVID-related impacts in fiscal 2020.
The extent of these disruptions and impacts, including on our ability to perform under U.S. Government contracts and other contracts within agreed timeframes and ultimately on our results of operations and cash flows, will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic and associated containment and mitigation actions taken by the U.S. Government, state and local government officials and international governments, and consequences thereof, and global air traffic demand and governmental subsidies to airlines, all of which are uncertain and unpredictable.
The impact of COVID may also exacerbate other risks discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K, any of which could have a material effect on us. We continue to work with our customers, employees, suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers and communities to address the impact of the ongoing pandemic. We continue to assess possible implications to our business, supply chain and customers, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. For further information regarding the impact, and the risks of the impact, of COVID on the Company, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

Revenue
The decrease in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to lower revenue in our Aviation Systems segment from the impact of the divestiture of the airport security and automation business and the continued COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, partially offset by higher revenue in our Integrated Mission Systems, Space and Airborne Systems and Communication Systems segments, driven by growth in our U.S. and international government businesses.
See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.
Gross Margin
The increases in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of total revenue (“gross margin percentage”) in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were primarily due to L3Harris Merger-related integration benefits and operational excellence, and the absence in the first quarter of 2021 of $15 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, partially offset by COVID and divestiture-related impacts in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.
27



Engineering, Selling and Administrative (“ESA”) Expenses
The decrease in ESA expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the impact of divestitures, integration savings, $10 million of lower L3Harris Merger-related integration expenses and $3 million of lower restructuring charges, partially offset by $19 million of higher amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the L3Harris Merger and $7 million of higher divestiture-related expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. ESA expense as a percentage of total revenue (“ESA percentage”) in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was comparable with the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.
Business Divestiture-Related Losses
Business divestiture-related losses included a $7 million non-cash remeasurement loss on the pending divestiture of the CPS business and an $8 million non-cash remeasurement loss on the pending divestiture of the VSE disposal group in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and a $3 million non-cash remeasurement loss associated with the divestiture of the airport security and automation business in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
See Note B — Business Divestitures in the Notes for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets
Impairment of goodwill and other assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 reflected a $62 million non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill recorded in connection with the pending divestiture of the CPS business. Impairment of goodwill and other assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 reflected $319 million of non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other assets in our Commercial Aviation Solutions sector due to the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations and a $5 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill in connection with the then-pending divestiture of our Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business.
See Note B — Business Divestitures and Note J — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes for further information.
Non-Operating Income
The increase in non-operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit plan income.
See Note N — Non-Operating Income and Note L — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information.
Net Interest Expense
The increase in net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to lower interest income.
See Note 14: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 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 11.4 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with 11.8 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. For the first quarter of fiscal 2021, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of R&D credits, the resolution of specific audit uncertainties and the recognition of deferred tax assets on the outside basis of entities held-for-sale. For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, R&D credits and the favorable impact of audit settlements, partially offset by a valuation allowance increase on international credits and the unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges.
Income From Continuing Operations
The increase in income from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above regarding the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020.
28



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 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to higher income from continuing operations and fewer diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to our repurchases of shares of our common stock under our repurchase program in the last two quarters of fiscal 2020 and first quarter of fiscal 2021.

% of revenue 17  % 15  %
The increase in segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to $38 million of higher revenue in Maritime reflecting a ramp in manned platforms, $35 million of higher revenue in ISR from a newly awarded North Atlantic Treaty Organization program and moderate growth in Electro Optical.
The increase in segment operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to higher volume, integration benefits and operational excellence.

The increase in segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to $39 million and $19 million of higher revenue in Tactical Communications and Global Communications Solutions, respectively, primarily from the continued ramp in DoD modernization that also benefited Integrated Vision Solutions, partially offset by $25 million of lower revenue in Public Safety due to anticipated COVID-related impacts, the impact of the EOTech business divestiture on July 31, 2020 and lower volume on legacy unmanned platforms in Broadband Communications.
The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were primarily due to operational excellence, cost management and integration benefits.

The decrease in segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to $209 million of lower commercial aviation revenue, including a $123 million revenue impact from the airport security and automation business divestiture on May 4, 2020 and lower revenue from the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations and lower revenue in Military Training primarily due to program timing, partially offset by $15 million of higher revenue in Mission Networks from higher U.S. Federal Aviation Administration volume and $11 million of higher revenue in Defense Aviation.
The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were primarily due to $324 million of non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other assets and restructuring charges recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 due to the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations. Aside from the impact of the prior-year COVID-related impairment of goodwill and other assets, segment operating income and operating margin percentage decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily due to impacts from COVID and the divestiture of the airport security and automation business, partially offset by operational excellence, cost management and integration benefits in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

The increase in unallocated corporate expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to a $15 million accrual for a value added tax obligation, $7 million of divestiture-related costs and an increase in compensation expense accruals in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, partially offset by $15 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents
The $300 million net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to:
$661 million of net cash provided by operating activities; and
$10 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options; more than offset by
$700 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock;
$209 million used to pay cash dividends; and
$64 million used for net additions of property, plant and equipment.
The $161 million net decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to:
$533 million of net cash provided by operating activities;
$245 million of net proceeds from borrowings; and
$33 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options; more than offset by
$700 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock;
$183 million used to pay cash dividends; and
$48 million used for net additions of property, plant and equipment.
At April 2, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $976 million, 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 April 2, 2021). Additionally, we had $7.1 billion of long-term debt outstanding at April 2, 2021, the majority of which was assumed in connection with the L3Harris Merger and the acquisition of Exelis Inc. Our $976 million of cash and cash equivalents at April 2, 2021 included $283 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, a significant portion of which we believe can be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal tax cost.
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 general political and financial uncertainty. We cannot predict the on-going impact that COVID, among other potential risks and uncertainties, will have on our cash from operations. For further information regarding COVID-related risks and uncertainties, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our 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 twelve months and the reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. Our total capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 are expected to be approximately $375 million. We anticipate tax payments in fiscal 2021 to be approximately equal to or marginally less than our tax expense for the same period, subject to adjustment for certain timing differences and divestitures. 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 2020 Form 10-K and in the “Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations” section below in this MD&A, capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase program and L3Harris Merger-related integration costs, we do not anticipate any significant cash outlays during the remainder of fiscal 2021. For further information regarding COVID-related risks and uncertainties, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
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, generate cash flow from operations or borrow under our commercial paper program or our credit facility sufficient to service our obligations, we may be required to 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, obtain additional financing or sell assets. 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 $128 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the impact of higher income (excluding the impact of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and impairment of goodwill and other assets) and a $54 million decrease in cash used to fund working capital (i.e., accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, accounts payable and contract liabilities) in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities: The $3 million increase in net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to a $16 million increase in cash used for net
31



additions of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by $10 million used for an investment purchase in the first quarter of 2020.
Net cash used in financing activities: The $288 million increase in net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to $244 million of lower net proceeds from borrowings, a $26 million increase in cash dividends paid and a $23 million decrease in proceeds from exercises of employee stock options in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
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, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 further extended the interest rate stabilization provision of MAP-21. We made a voluntary contribution of $302 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the during the quarter ended September 27, 2019. As a result of this voluntary contribution, as well as $300 million and $400 million of voluntary contributions in fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively, we are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2021 and for several years thereafter.
Future required contributions primarily will depend on the actual annual return on assets and the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at the end of each year. Depending on these factors, and the resulting funded status of our pension plans, the level of future statutory required minimum contributions could be material. We had net unfunded defined benefit plan obligations of $1.8 billion at April 2, 2021. See Note 15: “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K and Note L — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information regarding our pension plans.
Common Stock Repurchases
On January 28, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $6 billion share repurchase authorization under our share repurchase program that was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of $210 million as of January 1, 2021. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we used $700 million to repurchase 3.8 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $184.54, including commissions of $.02 per share. During the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we used $700 million to repurchase 3.3 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $213.57, including commissions of $.02 per share. During both the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, $1 million 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.
At April 2, 2021, we had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $5.5 billion under our share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. Repurchases under our share 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 current repurchase program is set forth in this Report under Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Dividends
On January 28, 2021, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly per share cash dividend rate on our common stock from $.85 to $1.02, for an annualized per share cash dividend rate of $4.08, which was our twentieth consecutive annual increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate. Our annualized per share cash dividend rate was $3.40 in fiscal 2020. 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 or future dividend increases. 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 13: “Credit Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
We were in compliance with the covenants in the 2019 Credit Agreement at April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement.
Long-Term Debt: For a description of our long-term variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, see Note 14: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
Short-Term Debt: Our short-term debt was $2 million at April 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021, consisting of local borrowing by international subsidiaries for working capital needs.
Other Agreements: We have two RSAs with third-party financial institutions that permit us to sell, on a non-recourse basis, up to $100 million each of outstanding receivables at any given time. From time to time, we have sold certain customer receivables under the RSAs, which we continue to service and collect on behalf of the third-party financial institutions and which we account for as sales of receivables with sale proceeds included in net cash from operating activities. The impact to net cash from operating activities from these transactions was not material in the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020.
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 April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021, 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, cash flows or equity, and we were not a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.
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, cash flows or equity.
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. If 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 sub-lessees is individually and in the aggregate not material to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.
Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations
The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K include our commercial commitments and contractual obligations. There were no material changes during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 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 2020 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) impairment testing of goodwill; (iv) accounting for business combinations; and (v) income taxes and tax valuation allowances. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2020 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 generally recognized over time, typically using the POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, whereby we measure our progress towards completion of the performance obligation based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to estimated costs at completion under the contract. Because costs incurred represent work performed, we believe this method best depicts the transfer of control of the asset 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 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 our 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 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.
EAC adjustments resulted in the following impacts to operating income for the periods presented: 
  Quarter Ended
(In millions) April 2, 2021 April 3, 2020
Favorable adjustments $ 162  $ 182 
Unfavorable adjustments (80) (79)
Net operating income adjustments $ 82  $ 103 
The net favorable impact to operating income from EAC adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 reflected benefits of operational performance on programs, including additional retirement of risks and schedule improvements, achievement of incentive payments and realization of synergy savings across all four of our business segments. There were no EAC adjustments on any individual program with impacts to operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 or 2020 that were material to our results of operations on a consolidated or segment basis for such periods.
34



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 a 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.
Goodwill
Goodwill in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of April 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021 was $18.3 billion and $18.9 billion, respectively. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform annual (or under certain circumstances, more frequent) impairment tests of our goodwill. We identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying amount, including goodwill, which is adjusted for allocations of Corporate assets and liabilities as appropriate. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
CPS business goodwill allocation: As described in more detail in Note B — Business Divestitures in the Notes, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our CPS business on March 1, 2021. Because the pending divestiture of the CPS business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $174 million of goodwill to the CPS business disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the CPS business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that goodwill related to the CPS business disposal group was impaired. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $62 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal group above, we determined the fair value of the disposal group based on the negotiated selling price and the fair value of the retained businesses of the reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. These fair value determinations are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to their use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. See Note 1: "Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy.
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, including expected COVID-related impacts in our Public Safety and Commercial Aviation Solutions sectors; 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.

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:
COVID and ongoing attempts to contain and reduce its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
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, cash flows and equity.
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, cash flows and equity.
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, cash flows and equity.
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.
Our commercial aviation products, systems and services businesses are affected by global demand and economic factors that could negatively impact our financial results.
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.
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.
We are subject to government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
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 future success will depend on our ability to develop new products, systems, services and technologies that achieve market acceptance in our current and future markets.
We 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 a prolonged work stoppage could harm our business.
Disputes with our subcontractors or key suppliers, or their inability to perform or 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.
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 estimates we use in accounting for many of our programs could adversely affect our future financial results.
Our level of indebtedness and our ability to make payments on or service our indebtedness and our unfunded defined benefit plans liability may materially 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.
The level of returns on defined benefit plan assets, changes in interest rates and other factors could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity in future periods.
Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary export licenses to conduct certain operations abroad, and Congress may prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments.
Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners.
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, cash flows and equity.
36



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.
We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be covered adequately by insurance or indemnity.
Unforeseen environmental issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, involve significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
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 materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
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.
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 2020 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 2020 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, cash flows and equity. 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, cash flows and equity. 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 April 2, 2021 with respect to the information appearing in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.
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 functional currencies of such businesses. We use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency include 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 April 2, 2021 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 Q — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
Interest Rates: As of April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of these obligations. There is no interest-rate risk associated with long-term fixed-rate debt obligations on our results of operations or cash flows unless existing obligations are refinanced upon maturity at then-current interest rates, because the interest rates are fixed until maturity, and because our long-term fixed-rate debt is not putable to us (i.e., not required to be redeemed by us prior to maturity). We can give no assurances, however, that interest rates will not change significantly or have a material effect on the fair value of our long-term debt obligations over the next twelve months.
As of April 2, 2021, we also had long-term variable-rate debt obligations of $250 million of Floating Rate Notes due March 10, 2023. 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 April 2, 2021 would not have had a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note 14: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for further information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021, 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. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 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 April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.
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, cash flows and equity as set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. We may disclose changes to our 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, cash flows and equity.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we repurchased 3.8 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program for $700 million at an average share price of $184.52, excluding commissions of $0.02 per share. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors and management may deem relevant. We have announced that we currently expect to repurchase up to $2.3 billion in shares under our repurchase program in fiscal 2021, exclusive of any proceeds from divestitures we may complete, but we can give no assurances regarding the level and timing of share repurchases. 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 first quarter of fiscal 2021:

*    Periods represent our fiscal months
(1)On January 28, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $6 billion share repurchase authorization under our share repurchase program that was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of $210 million as of January 1, 2021. We repurchase shares of our common stock through open-market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. As of April 2, 2021, $5.5 billion (as reflected in the table above) was the approximate dollar amount of our common stock that can still be purchased under our share repurchase program, which does not have a stated expiration date.
(2)Represents a combination of: (a) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation of holders of performance units, restricted units or restricted shares that vested during the quarter and (b) performance units, restricted units or restricted shares returned to us upon retirement or employment termination of employees. Our equity incentive plans provide that the value of shares delivered to us to pay the exercise price of options or to cover tax withholding obligations shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we did not issue or sell any unregistered equity securities.

ARTICLE 1

TITLE
The title of this Plan shall be the “L3Harris Retirement Savings Plan.” This Plan is an amendment and restatement of the L3Harris Retirement Savings Plan in effect as of December 31, 2020. This amendment and restatement shall be effective as of January 1, 2021.
The rights and benefits of any Participant whose employment with all Employers and Affiliates terminates on or after January 1, 2021, and the rights and benefits of any Beneficiary of any such Participant, shall be determined solely by reference to the terms of the Plan as amended and restated herein, as such plan may be amended from time to time.
The Plan is designated as a “profit sharing plan” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation section 1.401-1(a)(2)(ii). In addition, the portion of the Plan invested in the L3Harris Stock Fund is designated as an “employee stock ownership plan” within the meaning of section 4975(e)(7) of the Code and, as such, is designed to invest primarily in “qualifying employer securities” within the meaning of section 4975(e)(8) of the Code.
Certain provisions of the Plan applicable solely to a specified group of Employees are set forth in an Appendix hereto, all of which Appendices are incorporated herein and considered to be part of this Plan. The provisions of an Appendix which modify the Plan’s terms with respect to the Employees covered thereby shall be construed in a manner that harmonizes the Appendix with the other provisions of the Plan to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent that the Plan’s other terms are not expressly inconsistent with the terms of an Appendix, the Employees who participate in the Plan pursuant to such Appendix shall be governed by the Plan’s other terms.

1



ARTICLE 2

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



After-Tax Account. The subaccount established pursuant to Section 8.1 to which (i) any after-tax contributions made for the benefit of a Participant pursuant to Section 5.1 and (ii) any amounts that are attributable to after-tax contributions made to a qualified defined contribution plan with respect to a Participant that are transferred or merged into this Plan, are credited, in each case as adjusted for earnings and losses thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s After-Tax Account shall exclude any after-tax contributions within the Plan attributable to participation in a money purchase pension plan, which after-tax contributions shall be part of the Participant’s Money Purchase Pension Account.
Beneficiary. A person entitled under Section 9.7 to receive benefits in the event of the death of a Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, any designation of a beneficiary under the Exelis Retirement Savings Plan in effect at the time of the merger of that plan into this Plan shall be void and of no effect.
Board. The Board of Directors of the Company.
Break in Service. A period other than a period included in an Employee’s Service; provided, however, that a Break in Service shall not include a period of absence from employment not in excess of 24 consecutive months because of (a) the Employee’s pregnancy, (b) the birth of the Employee’s child, (c) the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the Employee’s adoption of such child or (d) the need of the Employee to care for any such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. The immediately preceding sentence shall not apply unless the Employee timely furnishes to the Administrative Committee or its delegate such information as it may reasonably require to establish the reason for such absence and its duration.
3



Change in Control. For the purposes hereof, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i) any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (i) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (a) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (b) by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (d) pursuant to a Non-Control Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii));
(ii) individuals who, on January 1, 2020, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board,  provided  that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 1, 2020, whose appointment, election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors who remain on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall also be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;  provided, however , that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation
4



of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;
(iii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company or any such type of transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders (whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction or otherwise) (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (a) more than 60% of the total voting power of the company resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, any company which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the Company Voting Securities) eligible to elect directors of such company is represented by shares that were Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination (either by remaining outstanding or being converted), and such voting power is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any publicly traded holding company resulting from such Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company (or the company resulting from such Business Combination)) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination, and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies the conditions specified in (a), (b) and (c) shall be deemed to be a “Non-Control Transaction”);
5

Except as provided in Section 5.2(a) with respect to rollover contributions, contributions to the Plan (pursuant to this Article 4 or otherwise) shall be made in cash, shares of L3Harris Stock or a combination thereof at the discretion of the Company.
Section 4.8.    In-Plan Roth Conversions. Effective as of January 1, 2020, an “Eligible Convertee,” as defined in this Section, may, at any time, elect to transfer all or any portion of his or her vested Account attributable to (i) pre-tax contributions, (ii) matching contributions made with respect to Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2020 (excluding any such matching contributions that are transferred or merged into this Plan from another qualified defined contribution plan); (iii) rollover contributions (excluding any rollover
26



contributions attributable to designated Roth contributions) and (iv) after-tax contributions (excluding any after-tax contributions that are attributable to participation in a money purchase pension plan) from its existing subccount to such Eligible Convertee’s Designated Roth Conversion Account, to the extent permitted by section 402A(c)(4) of the Code (including section 402A(c)(4)(E) of the Code), and with the tax consequences set forth in section 402A(c)(4) of the Code (an “In-Plan Roth Conversion”). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Eligible Convertee shall continue to have the same withdrawal, distribution and loan options with respect to amounts attributable to such In-Plan Roth Conversion as he or she had prior to having converted such amounts, subject to any restrictions on rollover described in Section 9.6. For purposes of this Section, an “Eligible Convertee” is a Participant, a Beneficiary who is the surviving Spouse of such Participant or an alternate payee (within the meaning of section 414(p) of the Code) who is a Spouse or former Spouse of such Participant.
ARTICLE 5

AFTER-TAX AND ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1.    After-Tax Contributions
(a) Initial Election. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 6, each Participant may elect in accordance with Section 3.2 to make an after-tax contribution of Compensation for each payroll period by payroll deduction. The percentage of Compensation so designated for a payroll period shall be a whole percentage not less than 1% and not more than the Maximum Contribution Percentage with respect to such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate of a Participant’s pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions for a payroll period pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and a Participant’s after-tax
27



contributions for a payroll period pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) may not exceed an amount equal to the Maximum Contribution Percentage with respect to such Participant. An Employer shall deliver to the Trustee any after-tax contributions as soon as administratively practicable after the date such contributions otherwise would have been paid to the Participants as cash compensation, but in no event later than the 15th business day of the month following the month during which such contributions otherwise would have been paid to the Participants.
(b)    Changes in the Rate or Suspension of After-Tax Contributions. A Participant’s after-tax contributions pursuant to Section 5.1(a) shall continue in effect at the rate elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.2 until the Participant changes or suspends such election. A Participant may change or suspend such election at such time and in such manner as may be prescribed by the Administrative Committee, provided that only the last change made by a Participant during a payroll period shall be effectuated. Such change or suspension shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which the change or suspension is received. A Participant who has suspended after-tax contributions pursuant to this subsection may resume after-tax contributions by making an election at such time and in such manner as may be prescribed by the Administrative Committee.
Section 5.2.    Rollover Contributions
(a) Requirements for Rollover Contributions. If an Eligible Rollover Recipient receives an “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from an Eligible Retirement Plan, then the Eligible Rollover Recipient may contribute to the Plan an amount that does not exceed the amount of such eligible rollover distribution (including the proceeds from the sale of any property received as part of such eligible rollover distribution). A
28



rollover contribution may be in the form of cash or, with the consent of the Administrative Committee or its delegate, a promissory note evidencing an outstanding loan balance.
(b)    Delivery of Rollover Contributions. Any rollover contribution made pursuant to this Section shall be delivered by the Eligible Rollover Recipient to the Trustee on or before the 60th day after the day on which the Eligible Rollover Recipient receives the distribution (or on or before such later date as may be prescribed by law) or shall be transferred to the Trustee on behalf of the Eligible Rollover Recipient directly from the trust from which the eligible rollover distribution is made. Any such contribution must be accompanied by any information or documentation in connection therewith requested by the Administrative Committee or the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee shall not permit a rollover contribution if in its judgment accepting such contribution would cause the Plan to violate any provision of the Code or Regulations.
ARTICLE 6

LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 6.1.    Annual Limit on Pre-Tax Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions
(a) General Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, the aggregate of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made on behalf of a Participant for any calendar year pursuant to such Section and pursuant to any other plan or arrangement described in section 401(k) of the Code which is maintained by an Employer or Affiliate shall not exceed the dollar limitation in effect for such calendar year under section 402(g) of the Code, except to the extent permitted under Section 4.1(c) of the Plan and section 414(v) of the Code with respect to “catch-up contributions.”
29



(b)    Excess Pre-Tax Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions.
(1)    Characterization as After-Tax Contributions. Except to the extent set forth in Section 4.1(c) of the Plan and section 414(v) of the Code with respect to “catch-up contributions,” if for any calendar year the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to the Plan reach the limit imposed by subsection (a) of this Section for such calendar year, any contributions under the Plan during the calendar year that exceed such limit shall be characterized as after-tax contributions. The Participant’s pre-tax contributions shall be recharacterized up to the extent pre-tax contributions were made to the Plan for the Plan Year and, to the extent that the Participant’s contributions to be recharacterized exceed such pre-tax contributions, the Participant’s designated Roth contributions made to the Plan for the Plan Year shall be recharacterized.
(2)    Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except to the extent set forth in Section 4.1(c) of the Plan and section 414(v) of the Code with respect to “catch-up contributions,” if for any calendar year the aggregate of the pre-tax contributions and the designated Roth contributions to the Plan plus elective deferrals contributed under other plans or arrangements described in section 401(k), 403(b), 408(k) or 408(p) of the Code for the Participant exceed the section 402(g) limit for such calendar year and are not characterized as after-tax contributions, because of the limitation set forth in Section 5.1 on the amount of after-tax contributions that may be made to the Plan or otherwise, such Participant shall, pursuant to such rules and at such time following such calendar year as determined by the Administrative Committee, be allowed to submit a written
30



request that the excess deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, be distributed to the Participant. The amount of any income or loss allocable to such excess deferrals shall be determined pursuant to Regulations. Such amount of excess deferrals, as adjusted for income or loss, shall be distributed to the Participant no later than April 15 following the calendar year for which such contributions were made. Any excess deferrals that are distributed in accordance with this subsection (b)(2) shall not be treated as “annual additions” for purposes of Section 6.3. The amount of excess deferrals that may be distributed under this subsection (b)(2) with respect to a Participant for a calendar year shall be reduced by any amounts previously distributed pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(1) with respect to such Participant for such year. Such distributed excess deferrals shall be treated as pre-tax contributions up to the extent pre-tax contributions were made to the Plan for the Plan Year and, to the extent that such distributed excess deferrals exceed such pre-tax contributions, such excess deferrals shall be treated as distributions of designated Roth contributions made to the Plan for the Plan Year. Pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions with respect to which a matching contribution was not made shall be distributed before pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions with respect to which a matching contribution was made. Any matching contributions attributable to excess deferrals that are distributed pursuant to this Section 6.1(b), as adjusted for income or loss, shall be forfeited.
Section 6.2.    Limits on Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees
.
31



(a)    Actual Deferral Percentage Test Imposed by Section 401(k)(3) of the Code. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, if the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1 for a Plan Year fail, or in the judgment of the Administrative Committee are likely to fail, to satisfy both of the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the adjustments prescribed in Section 6.2(d)(1) shall be made. Any pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions which are “catch-up contributions” described in Section 4.1(c) shall not be considered to be pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions for purposes of determining whether the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection are satisfied or for purposes of making any adjustments prescribed by Section 6.2(d)(1).
(1)    The HCE average deferral percentage for such year does not exceed the product of the NHCE average deferral percentage for such year and 1.25.
(2)    The HCE average deferral percentage for such year (i) does not exceed the NHCE average deferral percentage for such year by more than two percentage points and (ii) does not exceed the product of the NHCE average deferral percentage for such year and 2.0.
(b)    Actual Contribution Percentage Test Imposed by Section 401(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 5.1, if the aggregate of the matching contributions made pursuant to Section 4.2 and the after-tax contributions made pursuant to Section 5.1 for a Plan Year fail, or in the judgment of the Administrative Committee are likely to fail, to satisfy both of the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the adjustments prescribed in Section 6.2(d)(2) shall be made.
32



(1)    The HCE average contribution percentage for such year does not exceed the product of the NHCE average contribution percentage for such year and 1.25.
(2)    The HCE average contribution percentage for such year (i) does not exceed the NHCE average contribution percentage for such year by more than two percentage points and (ii) does not exceed the product of the NHCE average contribution percentage for such year and 2.0.
(c)    Definitions and Special Rules. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions and special rules shall apply:
(1)    The “actual deferral percentage test” refers collectively to the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this Section relating to pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions. The actual deferral percentage test shall be satisfied if either of such tests are satisfied.
(2)    The “HCE average deferral percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who are eligible to make pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions for the current Plan Year and who are Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the employer contributions for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the current Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the current Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee. For this purpose, “employer contributions” shall mean pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions (including excess
33



deferrals), but excluding any pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions that are taken into account under the actual contribution percentage test (provided that the actual deferral percentage test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of such contributions).
(3)    The “NHCE average deferral percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who were eligible to make pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions for the immediately preceding Plan Year and who were not Highly Compensated Employees for the immediately preceding Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the employer contributions for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the immediately preceding Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the immediately preceding Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee. For this purpose, “employer contributions” shall mean pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions (including excess deferrals), but excluding (i) excess deferrals that arise solely from pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made under this Plan or other plans maintained by the Employers and Affiliates and (ii) any pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions that are taken into account under the actual contribution percentage test (provided that the actual deferral percentage test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of such pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “plan coverage change” during a Plan Year (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation
34



§1.401(k)-2(c)(4)(iii)(A)), the “NHCE average deferral percentage” for such Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-2(c)(4).
(4)    The “actual contribution percentage test” refers collectively to the tests set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (b) of this Section relating to matching contributions and after-tax contributions. The actual contribution percentage test shall be satisfied if either of such tests are satisfied.
(5)    The “HCE average contribution percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who are eligible to have matching contributions, after-tax contributions, or in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions, made for their benefit for the current Plan Year and who are Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the matching contributions, after-tax contributions and, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions, made for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the current Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the current Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee.
35



(6)    The “NHCE average contribution percentage” for a Plan Year is a percentage determined for the group of Eligible Employees who were eligible to have matching contributions, after-tax contributions, or in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions, made for their benefit for the immediately preceding Plan Year and who were not Highly Compensated Employees for the immediately preceding Plan Year. Such percentage shall be equal to the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the matching contributions, after-tax contributions and, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee and to the extent permitted under rules prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or otherwise under the law, pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions, made for the benefit of such Eligible Employee for the immediately preceding Plan Year (if any) to the total compensation for the immediately preceding Plan Year paid to such Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “plan coverage change” during a Plan Year (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-2(c)(4)(iii)(A)), the “NHCE average contribution percentage” for such Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-2(c)(4).
(7)    The term “compensation” shall have the meaning set forth in section 414(s) of the Code or, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee, any other meaning in accordance with the Code for these purposes. In any event,
36



the term “compensation” shall not include any amount excludable under Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-2(g)(5)(ii).
(8)    If the Plan and one or more other plans of an Employer to which pre-tax contributions, designated Roth contributions, matching contributions or employee contributions (as such terms are defined for purposes of section 401(m) of the Code), or qualified nonelective contributions (as such term is defined in section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code), are made are treated as one plan for purposes of section 410(b) of the Code, such plans shall be treated as one plan for purposes of this Section. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in the Plan and one or more other plans of an Employer to which any such contributions are made, all such contributions shall be aggregated for purposes of this Section.
(d)    Adjustments to Comply with Limits.
(1)    Adjustments to Comply with Actual Deferral Percentage Test. The Administrative Committee shall cause to be made such periodic computations as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to determine whether the actual deferral percentage test will be satisfied during a Plan Year, and, if it appears to the Administrative Committee that such test will not be satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall take such steps as it deems necessary or appropriate to adjust the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1 for all or a portion of the remainder of such Plan Year for the benefit of some or all of the Highly Compensated Employees to the extent necessary in order for the actual deferral percentage test to be satisfied. If, after the end of the Plan Year, the Administrative Committee determines that, notwithstanding any
37



adjustments made pursuant to the preceding sentence, the actual deferral percentage test was not satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall calculate a total amount by which pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions must be reduced in order to satisfy such test in the manner prescribed by section 401(k)(8)(B) of the Code (the “excess contributions amount”). The amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to be reduced for each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee shall be determined by first reducing the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions of each Participant whose actual dollar amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions for such Plan Year is highest until such reduced dollar amount equals the next highest actual dollar amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions made for such Plan Year on behalf of any Highly Compensated Employee or until the total reduction equals the excess contributions amount. If further reductions are necessary, then the pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions on behalf of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and whose actual dollar amount of pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions for such Plan Year is the highest (determined after the reduction described in the preceding sentence) shall be reduced in accordance with the preceding sentence. Such reductions shall continue to be made to the extent necessary so that the total reduction equals the excess contributions amount. The portion of a Participant’s pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to be reduced in accordance with this Section 6.2(d)(1) shall be recharacterized as an after-tax contribution, and the Participant
38



shall be notified of such recharacterization and the tax consequences thereof no later than 2½ months after the end of the Plan Year. The amount of a Participant’s pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions to be reduced in accordance with this Section shall be reduced by any excess deferrals previously distributed to such Participant pursuant to Section 6.1 in order to comply with the limitations of section 402(g) of the Code. The amount of any income or loss allocable to any such reductions shall be determined pursuant to the applicable Regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department. The Participant’s pre-tax contributions shall be recharacterized up to the extent pre-tax contributions were made to the Plan for the Plan Year and, to the extent that the Participant’s excess contributions exceed such pre-tax contributions, the Participant’s designated Roth contributions made to the Plan for the Plan Year shall be recharacterized.
(2)    Adjustments to Comply with Actual Contribution Percentage Test. The Administrative Committee shall cause to be made such periodic computations as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to determine whether the average contribution percentage test will be satisfied during a Plan Year, and, if it appears to the Administrative Committee that such test will not be satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall take such steps as it deems necessary or appropriate to adjust the matching contributions and the after-tax contributions made pursuant to Section 4.2 and 5.1, respectively, for all or a portion of the remainder of such Plan Year on behalf of some or all of the Highly Compensated Employees to the extent necessary in order for the average contribution
39



percentage test to be satisfied. If the Administrative Committee determines that, notwithstanding any adjustments made pursuant to the preceding sentence, the average contribution percentage test was or will not satisfied, the Administrative Committee shall, in its discretion, (1) allocate a qualified nonelective contribution pursuant to Section 6.2(e) or (2) reduce the matching contributions and after-tax contributions made on behalf of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and whose actual dollar amount of matching contributions and after-tax contributions for such Plan Year is the highest in the same manner described in subparagraph (1) of this paragraph to the extent necessary to comply with the average contribution percentage test. The reduction described in the preceding sentence shall be made first with respect to a Participant’s after-tax contributions in excess of six percent of Compensation, second with respect to any remaining after-tax contributions and any matching contributions attributable thereto, and third with respect to any other matching contributions. With respect to contributions to be so reduced, no later than 2½ months after the end of the Plan Year (or if correction by such date is administratively impracticable, no later than the last day of the subsequent Plan Year), the Administrative Committee shall cause to be distributed to each such Participant the amount of such reductions made with respect to vested matching contributions to which such Participant would be entitled under the Plan if such Participant had terminated service on the last day of the Plan Year for which such contributions are made (or on the date of the Participant’s actual termination of employment, if earlier) and with respect to after-tax contributions (plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto),
40



and any remaining amount of such reductions (plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto) shall be forfeited. Any amounts forfeited pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated in the same manner as forfeitures described in Section 9.2(b). The amount of any such income or loss allocable to any such reduction to be so distributed or forfeited shall be determined pursuant to applicable Regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department.
(e)    Qualified Nonelective Contributions. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.3 and 6.4, and to the extent permitted by Regulations or other pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, for purposes of satisfying the actual contribution percentage test set forth in Section 6.2(b), the Employers may contribute for a Plan Year such amount, if any, as may be designated as a “qualified nonelective contribution” within the meaning of section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code. Any such qualified nonelective contribution to the Plan must be contributed no later than the last day of the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year to which it relates. Any such qualified nonelective contribution to the Plan shall be allocated to the Accounts of those Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year with respect to which such qualified nonelective contribution is made and who are actively employed by the contributing Employer on the last day of the Plan Year with respect to which such qualified nonelective contribution is made, beginning with the Participant with the lowest Compensation for such Plan Year and allocating the maximum amount that may be taken into account under Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v) (and that is permissible under Section 6.3) before allocating any portion of such qualified nonelective contribution to the Participant with the next lowest Compensation for the Plan Year.
Section 6.3.    Maximum Annual Additions under Section 415 of the Code
41



Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the amounts allocated to the Account of each Participant for any limitation year shall be limited so that the aggregate annual additions for such year to the Participant’s Account and to the Participant’s accounts in all other defined contribution plans maintained by an employer shall not exceed the lesser of:
(i)    $58,000 (as adjusted pursuant to section 415(d) of the Code); and
(ii)    100% of the Participant’s compensation for such limitation year (or such other percentage of compensation set forth in section 415(c) of the Code).
The “annual additions” to a Participant’s Account and to the Participant’s account in any other defined contribution plan maintained by an employer is the sum for such limitation year of:
(a)    the amount of employer contributions (including pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions) allocated to the Participant’s account, excluding, however, (X) pre-tax contributions and designated Roth contributions that are “catch-up contributions” made pursuant to section 414(v) of the Code, (Y) excess deferrals that are distributed in accordance with section 402(g) of the Code and (Z) restorative payments (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-1(b)(2)(ii)(C)),
(b)    the amount of forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s account,
(c)    the amount of contributions by the Participant to any such plan, but excluding any rollover contributions or loan repayments,
(d)     the amount allocated on behalf of the Participant to any individual medical benefit account (as defined in section 415(l) of the Code) or, if the Participant is a key employee within the meaning of section 419A(d)(3) of the Code, to any post-retirement medical benefits account established pursuant to section 419A(d)(1) of the Code, and
42



(e)    the amount of mandatory employee contributions within the meaning of section 411(c)(2)(C) of the Code by such Participant to a defined benefit plan, regardless of whether such plan is subject to the requirements of section 411 of the Code.
For purposes of this Section, the “limitation year” shall be the Plan Year, the term “compensation” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)2(d)(4), the term “defined contribution plan” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-1(a)(2), and a Participant’s employer shall include entities that are members of the same controlled group (within the meaning of section 414(b) of the Code as modified by section 415(h) of the Code) or affiliated service group (within the meaning of section 414(m) of the Code) as the Participant’s employer or under common control (within the meaning of section 414(c) of the Code as modified by section 415(h) of the Code) with the Participant’s employer or such entities.
Section 6.4.    Other Limitations on Employer Contributions
The contributions of the Employers for a Plan Year shall not exceed the maximum amount for which a deduction is allowable to such Employers for federal income tax purposes for the tax year that coincides with the Plan Year.
Any contribution made by an Employer by reason of a good faith mistake of fact, or the portion of any contribution made by an Employer that exceeds the maximum amount for which a deduction is allowable to such Employer for federal income tax purposes by reason of a good faith mistake in determining the maximum allowable deduction, shall upon the request of such Employer be returned by the Trustee to the Employer. An Employer’s request and the return of any such contribution must be made within one year after such contribution was mistakenly made or after the deduction of such excess portion of such contribution was
43



disallowed, as the case may be. The amount to be returned to an Employer pursuant to this paragraph shall be the excess of (i) the amount contributed over (ii) the amount that would have been contributed had there not been a mistake of fact or a mistake in determining the maximum allowable deduction. Earnings attributable to the mistaken contribution shall not be returned to the Employer, but losses attributable thereto shall reduce the amount to be so returned. If the return to the Employer of the amount attributable to the mistaken contribution would cause the balance of any Participant’s Account as of the date such amount is to be returned (determined as if such date coincided with the close of a Plan Year) to be reduced to less than what would have been the balance of such Account as of such date had the mistaken amount not been contributed, the amount to be returned to the Employer shall be limited so as to avoid such reduction.
ARTICLE 7
TRUST AND INVESTMENT FUNDS
Section 7.1.    Trust
A Trust shall be created by the execution of a trust agreement between the Company or its delegate (acting on behalf of the Employers) and the Trustee. All contributions under the Plan shall be paid to the Trustee. The Trustee shall hold all monies and other property received by it and invest and reinvest the same, together with the income therefrom, on behalf of the Participants collectively in accordance with the provisions of the trust agreement. The Trustee shall make distributions from the Trust Fund at such time or times to such person or persons and in such amounts as the Administrative Committee directs in accordance with the Plan. The Trust may be a master trust, provided that the portion of the Trust attributable to the Plan shall be separately accounted for and all Plan assets shall be utilized exclusively for the Plan.
Section 7.2.    Investments
(a) In General. The Investment Committee shall establish an investment policy for the Plan. The Investment Committee shall cause the Trustee to establish and maintain three or more separate investment funds exclusively for the collective investment and reinvestment as directed by Participants of amounts credited to their Accounts. Additional investment funds may
44



be established as determined by the Investment Committee from time to time in its sole discretion. The Investment Committee, in its sole discretion, may appoint investment managers to provide services in connection with the investment funds established under the Plan.
(b)    L3Harris Stock Fund. In addition to the investment funds established at the direction of the Investment Committee pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the Trustee shall establish and maintain a L3Harris Stock Fund. The assets of the L3Harris Stock Fund shall be invested primarily in shares of L3Harris Stock. The assets of the L3Harris Stock Fund also may be invested in short-term liquid investments. Each Participant’s interest in the L3Harris Stock Fund shall be represented by units of participation, and each such unit shall represent a proportionate interest in all the assets of such fund. The Trustee is authorized to purchase shares of L3Harris Stock on the open market. Except as permitted by section 401(a)(35) of the Code, restrictions (either direct or indirect) or conditions will not be imposed on investment in the L3Harris Stock Fund if such restrictions or conditions are not imposed on investment in the other investment funds available under the Plan.
(c)    Self-Directed Brokerage Account. In addition to the investment funds established pursuant to Sections 7.2(a) and (b), a Participant may establish a self-directed brokerage account, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan and such other terms and conditions as deemed appropriate by the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee from time to time. In no event shall L3Harris Stock be a permitted investment in the self-directed brokerage account.
ARTICLE 8

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
AND INVESTMENT ELECTIONS
Section 8.1.    Participant Accounts
45



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

(i)    a Fringe Account;
(j)    a Prior Company Contribution Account;
(k)    a Money Purchase Pension Account;
(l)    an Other Employer Contribution Account; and
(m)    a Designated Roth Conversion Account.
The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain, or cause the Trustee or such other agent as the Administrative Committee may select to establish and maintain, investment subaccounts with respect to each investment fund described in Section 7.2 to which amounts contributed under the Plan shall be credited according to each Participant’s investment
46



elections pursuant to Section 8.2. All such investment subaccounts shall be solely for accounting purposes, and there shall be no segregation of assets within the investment funds among the separate investment subaccounts.
Section 8.2.    Investment Elections
(a) Initial Election. Each Participant shall make, in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, an investment election that shall apply to the investment of contributions made for a Participant’s benefit and any earnings on such contributions, subject to such limitations set forth herein or imposed by the Administrative Committee from time to time. The Administrative Committee in its discretion shall determine whether a single investment election shall apply to a Participant’s entire Account or whether a Participant may make separate investment elections applicable to various sources of contributions under the Plan. A Participant’s election shall specify that such contributions be invested either (i) wholly in one of the funds maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2, or (ii) divided among two or more of such funds in increments of 1% (or such larger percentage established by the Administrative Committee from time to time). Unless otherwise determined by the Investment Committee, during any period in which no direction as to the investment of a Participant’s Account is on file with the Administrative Committee (a “Default Period”), contributions made for a Participant’s benefit shall be invested in an age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund (or, if the Employers have no record of the Participant’s age, in the LifeCycle Retirement Fund until such Participant’s age can be determined, at which time all such contributions made for such Participant’s benefit during the Default Period shall be transferred to an age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund). A Participant may enroll in a managed account program under which investment professionals will monitor the Participant’s Account and manage all investment elections and transactions.
47



(b)    Change of Election. A Participant may change his or her investment election as of any Valuation Date, subject to such limitations as the Administrative Committee from time to time may impose (including restrictions on investment election changes that apply solely to a particular investment fund or option). A Participant’s investment election change shall be limited to the investment funds or options then maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2. A change in investment election made pursuant to this Section shall apply to a Participant’s existing Account or contributions made for the benefit of the Participant after such change, or both. Any such change shall specify that such Account or contributions be invested either (i) wholly in one of the funds or options maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.2 or (ii) divided among two or more of such funds or options in increments of 1% (or such larger percentage established by the Administrative Committee from time to time) or, solely with respect to a Participant’s existing Account, in fixed dollar amounts. A Participant’s change of investment election must be made in the manner and subject to the rules prescribed by the Administrative Committee, including rules regarding the time by which such an election must be made in order to be effective for a particular Valuation Date. In the absence of an affirmative election by a Participant to the contrary, the Administrative Committee may deem a Participant to have made an investment election change (e.g., an election to liquidate a fund investment) in accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee and communicated to Participants.
(c)    Special Rules Concerning the L3Harris Stock Fund. A Participant may not elect to invest in the L3Harris Stock Fund more than 20% of the aggregate contributions newly made for his or her benefit, and a Participant may not transfer any portion of the Participant’s existing Account from investment in funds other than the L3Harris Stock Fund to
48



investment in the L3Harris Stock Fund if following such transfer more than 20% of the Participant’s existing Account would be invested in the L3Harris Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant (other than a Participant who participates in the Plan pursuant to Appendix 3 or 6 hereto) may elect to invest in the L3Harris Stock Fund up to 100% of the matching contributions newly made for his or her benefit pursuant to Section 4.2.
(d)    Special Rules Concerning the Self-Directed Brokerage Account. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, (i) a Participant may not elect to invest in the self-directed brokerage account more than 95% of the aggregate contributions newly made for his or her benefit and (ii) a Participant may not transfer any portion of the Participant’s existing Account from investment in funds other than the self-directed brokerage account to investment in the self-directed brokerage account if following such transfer more than 95% of the Participant’s existing Account would be invested in the self-directed brokerage account. Any transfer to the self-directed brokerage account shall be in an amount that is no less than $500 (for the avoidance of doubt, such $500 minimum investment shall not apply to new contributions directly invested in the self-directed brokerage account). Notwithstanding the foregoing, new contributions may be directly invested in the self-directed brokerage account only following the Participant’s establishment of the account and transfer to the account from other investment funds of an investment of no less than $500.
(d)    ERISA Section 404(c) Plan. The Plan is intended to meet the requirements of section 404(c) of ERISA and the Regulations thereunder, and the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted to meet such requirements.
Section 8.3.    Valuation of Funds and Plan Accounts
49



The value of an investment fund as of any Valuation Date shall be the market value of all assets (including any uninvested cash) held by the fund on such Valuation Date as determined by the Trustee, reduced by the amount of any accrued liabilities of the fund on such Valuation Date. The Trustee’s determination of market value shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties. The value of a Participant’s Account as of any Valuation Date shall be the sum of the values of his or her investment subaccounts in each of the subaccounts described in Section 8.1.
Section 8.4.    Valuation of Units within the L3Harris Stock Fund
As soon as practicable after the close of business on each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the value of the L3Harris Stock Fund on such Valuation Date in the manner prescribed in Section 8.3, and the value so determined shall be divided by the total number of L3Harris Stock Fund participating units allocated to the investment subaccounts of Participants. The resulting quotient shall be the value of a participating unit in the L3Harris Stock Fund as of such Valuation Date and shall constitute the “price” of a participating unit as of such Valuation Date. Participating units shall be credited, at the price so determined, to the investment subaccounts of Participants with respect to contributions or transfers to such investment subaccounts on their behalf on such Valuation Date. The price of such participating units shall be debited to the investment subaccounts of Participants with respect to divestitures from such investment subaccounts on their behalf on such Valuation Date. The value of all participating units credited to Participants’ investment subaccounts shall be redetermined in a similar manner as of each Valuation Date.
Section 8.5.    Allocation of Contributions Other than Profit Sharing Contributions
50



Any pre-tax contribution, designated Roth contribution, matching contribution, , fringe contribution, other employer contribution, after-tax contribution, rollover contribution or qualified nonelective contribution shall be allocated to the Pre-Tax Account, Designated Roth Account, Matching Account, Fringe Account, Other Employer Contribution Account, After-Tax Account, Rollover Account or QNEC Account, as applicable, of the Participant for whom such contribution is made on or as soon as practicable after the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date on which such contribution is delivered to the Trustee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, any Designated Roth Account or Designated Roth Conversion Account shall be maintained in a manner that satisfies the separate accounting requirement, and any Regulations or other requirements promulgated, under section 402A of the Code.
Section 8.6.    Allocation of Profit Sharing Contributions
Any profit sharing contribution made by the Employers pursuant to Section 4.3 for a Plan Year shall be allocated among the Eligible Profit Sharing Participants in the proportion that the Compensation of each Eligible Profit Sharing Participant for such Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all Eligible Profit Sharing Participants for such Plan Year; provided, however, that in the Plan Year during which a Participant becomes an Eligible Profit Sharing Participant, only Compensation received on or after the date he or she becomes an Eligible Profit Sharing Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of this Section 8.6. Any such contribution shall be allocated to the Profit Sharing Accounts of Eligible Profit Sharing Participants as of the last day of the Plan Year but credited as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date on which the profit sharing contribution is delivered to the Trustee.
51



Section 8.7.    Correction of Error
If it comes to the attention of the Administrative Committee that an error has been made in any of the allocations prescribed by this Article 8, appropriate adjustment shall be made to the Accounts of all Participants and Beneficiaries that are affected by such error, except that, unless otherwise required by law, no adjustment need be made with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary whose Account has been distributed in full prior to the discovery of such error.
Section 8.8.    Accelerated Vesting during Employment. A Participant’s entire Account shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date that the Participant attains age 55 if the Participant is employed by an Employer or an Affiliate on such date. In addition, a Participant who commences employment with the Employers and Affiliates after attainment of age 55 shall be fully vested in his or her entire Account.
ARTICLE 9

WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 9.1.    Withdrawals Prior to Termination of Employment
(a) Withdrawals from After-Tax Account and Savings Account. As of any Valuation Date, a Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his or her After-Tax Account or Savings Account; provided, however, that (i) only one such withdrawal may be made in any three-month period; (ii) such withdrawal shall be in the form of a lump sum payment; (iii) a Participant may not withdraw any amount from his or her Savings Account until the entire balance of his or her After-Tax Account has been withdrawn; and (iv) a Participant’s election under the Plan to make after-tax contributions, if any, shall be suspended, and no after-tax contributions or matching contributions attributable to after-tax contributions shall be allocated to the Participant’s Account, for a period of three months after the date of such withdrawal from
52



the Participant’s After-Tax Account. At the expiration of such three-month suspension period, unless a Participant elects otherwise at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, after-tax contributions to the Plan by the Participant automatically shall resume at the same rate as in effect immediately prior to such suspension. For the avoidance of doubt, the three-month suspension of after-tax contributions (and related matching contributions) described in this Section 9.1(a) shall apply if, during employment, a Participant withdraws, pursuant to this Section 9.1(a), all or any portion of his or her Designated Roth Conversion Account attributable to after-tax contributions or savings contributions.
(b)    Hardship Withdrawals. Subject to the provisions of this subsection, a Participant who has taken all loans currently available to the Participant under Article 10 and under all other plans of the Employers and Affiliates, has taken all withdrawals (other than hardship withdrawals) currently available to the Participant under this Section 9.1, under Section 9.11 or otherwise under this Plan and under all other plans of deferred compensation, whether qualified or nonqualified, of the Employers and Affiliates and has incurred a financial hardship may withdraw as of any Valuation Date all or any portion of the combined balance of his or her (i) Pre-Tax Account, (ii) Designated Roth Account, (iii) vested Profit Sharing Account and (iv) Fringe Account.
(1)    The amount of such withdrawal shall not exceed the amount needed to satisfy the financial hardship, including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or any penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the hardship withdrawal. The determination of the existence of a financial hardship and the amount required to be distributed to satisfy such hardship shall be made in a non-discriminatory and objective manner. A financial
53



hardship shall be deemed to exist if and only if the Participant certifies (in writing or by an electronic medium, as determined by the Administrative Committee) that (A) the financial need is on account of one or more of the following and (B) the Participant has insufficient cash or other liquid assets reasonably available to satisfy the financial need:
(i)    expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under section 213(d) of the Code determined without regard to the limitations in section 213(a) (relating to the applicable percentage of adjusted gross income and the recipients of the medical care) provided that, if the recipient of the medical care is not listed in section 213(a), the recipient is a primary Beneficiary;
(ii)    costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments);
(iii)    payment of tuition, room and board and related educational fees for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or the Participant’s Spouse, children, dependents (as defined in section 152 of the Code, and without regard to sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)) or primary Beneficiary;
54



(iv)    payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant’s principal residence or foreclosure of the mortgage on that residence;
(v)    payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, Spouse, children, dependents (as defined in section 152 of the Code, and without regard to section 152(d)(1)(B)) or primary Beneficiary; and
(vi)    expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under section 165 of the Code (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income, and effective January 1, 2019, determined without regard to section 165(h)(5)).
(2)    The Participant shall be required to submit any supporting documentation as may be requested by the Administrative Committee.
(3)    Any hardship withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall be in the form of a lump sum payment.
(4)    A Participant may receive a hardship withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) no more than once during any six-month period.
(5)    Amounts distributed to a Participant pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall be withdrawn first from the Participant’s Pre-Tax Account, second from the vested portion of the Participant’s Profit Sharing Account, third from the Participant’s Fringe Account and last from the Participant’s Designated Roth
55



Account, and shall not be taken from the next source until the previous source has been depleted.
(c)    Withdrawals On or After Age 59½. As of any Valuation Date, a Participant who has attained age 59½ may withdraw all or any portion of his or her vested Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is married, the Participant’s Spouse must consent in writing (or by such other method permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) to the withdrawal of the Participant’s Money Purchase Pension Account pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) and such consent must be witnessed by a notary public. Any withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall be made at the Participant’s election in any form of payment provided under Section 9.3(c).
(d)    Withdrawals from Rollover Account. As of any Valuation Date, a Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his or her Rollover Account. Any withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall be in the form of a lump sum payment.
(e)    Military Leave Withdrawals. As of any Valuation Date, a Participant who is performing service in the uniformed services (as described in Section 3401(h)(2)(A) of the Code) while on active duty for more than 30 days may withdraw all or any portion of his or her Pre-Tax Account and Designated Roth Account. Any withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) shall be in the form of a lump sum payment. A Participant who receives such a withdrawal shall be prohibited from making any pre-tax contributions or designated Roth contributions under Section 4.1 or after-tax contributions under Section 5.1 until the first payroll period commencing coincident with or next following the date which is six months after the date such withdrawal was made (or such earlier date as may be permitted by applicable Regulations). Unless a Participant elects otherwise at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative
56



Committee, following the period of suspension of the Participant’s contributions prescribed by this Section 9.1(e), contributions to the Plan by the Participant automatically shall resume in the same form and at the same rate as in effect immediately prior to such suspension.
(f)    Qualified Reservist Distributions. As of any Valuation Date, a Participant who was ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period may withdraw all or any portion of his or her Pre-Tax Account and Designated Roth Account; provided that the distribution is made during the period beginning on the date of such order or call and ending at the close of the active duty period. Any withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) shall be in the form of a lump sum payment.
(g)    Withdrawals from Prior Company Contribution Account. As of any Valuation Date, a Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his or her Prior Company Contribution Account. Any withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1(g) shall be made in a lump sum.
(h)    Conditions Applicable to All Withdrawals. A Participant’s request for a withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be made at such time and in such manner as may be prescribed by the Administrative Committee. The amount available for withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be reduced by the amount of any loan made pursuant to Article 10 that is outstanding at the time of withdrawal, and no withdrawal pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be permitted to the extent that such withdrawal would cause the aggregate amount of such outstanding loan to exceed the limits described in Section 10.1. The amount available for withdrawal under this Section 9.1 is subject to reduction in the sole discretion of the Administrative Committee to take into account the investment experience of the Trust Fund between the date of the withdrawal election and the date of the withdrawal.
57



(i)    Repayment of Withdrawal from Exelis Retirement Savings Plan. If a Participant made a withdrawal under the Exelis Retirement Savings Plan prior to September 30, 1996, as a result of which he or she forfeited all or a portion of the value of the Participant’s “Company Contribution Account” under such plan at such time, he or she shall be permitted to repay in full the amounts previously withdrawn from the Participant’s “Company Contribution Account” by providing to the Administrative Committee prior written notice on a form approved by the Administrative Committee for such purpose. Such repayment may be made at any time provided the Participant is then eligible for the Plan and further provided the Participant has not incurred a Break in Service of five consecutive years. Such repayment amounts shall be deposited into the Participant’s Prior Company Contribution Account.
Section 9.2.    Distribution of Account upon Termination of Employment
(a) Termination of Employment under Circumstances Entitling Participant to Full Distribution of Account. Effective with respect to terminations occurring on or after January 1, 2020, if a Participant’s employment with all Employers and Affiliates terminates under any of the following circumstances, then the Participant or his or her designated Beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive the Participant’s entire Account:
(1)    on or after the date the Participant attains age 55;
(2)    on account of the Participant’s death;
(3)    on account of the Participant’s Disability; or
(4)    on or after the date the Participant is credited with at least three Years of Service (or such other number of Years of Service required for full vesting as set forth in an Appendix or Schedule hereto).
58



For purposes of this Section 9.2(a), a Participant who dies while performing Qualified Military Service with respect to an Employer shall be treated as if the Participant had resumed employment in accordance with his or her reemployment rights under chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code, on the day preceding the Participant’s death and then terminated employment on account of the Participant’s death.
(b)    Termination of Employment under Circumstances Resulting in Partial Forfeiture of the Participant’s Account. If a Participant’s employment with all Employers and Affiliates terminates under circumstances other than those set forth in Section 9.2(a), then the Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) the entire balance of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Account, Designated Roth Account, After-Tax Account, Rollover Account, Savings Account, QNEC Account, Fringe Account, Prior Company Contribution Account, Designated Roth Conversion Account and Money Purchase Pension Account and (ii) a percentage of the balance of the Participant’s Matching Account and Profit Sharing Account, which percentage shall be determined as follows by reference to the Participant’s Years of Service as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment:

59



Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to cash dividends in respect of the L3Harris Stock Fund payable on or after May 20, 2010 shall be 100% nonforfeitable; (ii) the Account of a Participant who was an employee of Exelis Inc. or a subsidiary thereof on or before December 31, 2015, who was not subject to a collective bargaining agreement and who did not participate in the Exelis Retirement Savings Plan pursuant to Appendix 6 thereto shall be 100% nonforfeitable; and (iii) if an individual participates in this Plan pursuant to an Appendix hereto, the vesting schedule applicable to such Participant shall be the schedule set forth in such Appendix, to the extent inconsistent with this Section 9.2(b).
In the event of the sale or disposition of a business or the sale of substantially all of the assets of a trade or business, the Account of a Participant affected by such sale may become 100% nonforfeitable, irrespective of the Participant’s Years of Service, if expressly provided in the documents effecting the transaction or otherwise authorized by the Company or the Administrative Committee.
Any portion of a Participant’s Matching Account and Profit Sharing Account which the Participant is not entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) shall be charged to such accounts and forfeited as of the earlier of (i) the date the Participant’s vested Account is distributed and (ii) the date the Participant incurs a Break in Service of five consecutive years. If a Participant who receives a distribution of the Participant’s vested Account is reemployed prior to incurring a Break in Service of five consecutive years, then such forfeiture shall be reinstated as prescribed in Section 11.2(b). Amounts forfeited by a Participant pursuant to this Section shall be used, in the order determined by the Administrative Committee (i) to restore the Accounts of recently located Participants previously employed by such Participant’s Employer (or the recently located Beneficiaries of Participants previously employed by such Participant’s
60



Employer) whose Accounts were forfeited as described in Section 9.8, (ii) to restore the Accounts of Participants who are reemployed by such Participant’s Employer as described in Section 11.2(b), (iii) to fund any matching contributions, profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions to be allocated to Participants who are reemployed by such Participant’s Employer after a period of Qualified Military Service as described in Section 11.5, (iv) to reduce future contributions to the Plan (including qualified nonelective contributions, qualified matching contributions and other corrective contributions, and earnings thereon) by such Participant’s Employer and (v) to pay administrative expenses as described in Section 15.1.
Section 9.3.    Time and Form of Distribution upon Termination of Employment
(a) In General. A Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her vested Account upon the Participant’s termination of employment with all Employers and Affiliates.
(b)    Time of Distribution. A Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her vested Account as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, or, subject to Section 9.4, may defer distribution to a later date, in which case distribution shall occur as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the Participant’s distribution election; provided, however, that:
(1)    subject to Section 9.4, a Participant’s Account shall not be distributed prior to the Participant’s 65th birthday unless the Participant has consented in writing to such distribution;
(2)    if a Participant dies before the commencement of distribution of his or her Account, distributions paid or commencing after the Participant’s death shall be completed no later than December 31 of the calendar year which contains
61



the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death, except that (i) if the Participant’s Beneficiary is the Participant’s Spouse, distribution may be deferred until December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½ and (ii) if the Participant’s Beneficiary is a person other than the Participant’s Spouse and distributions commence on or before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, such distributions may be made over a period not longer than the life expectancy of such Beneficiary; provided, however, that calendar year 2009 shall be disregarded for purposes of this Section 9.3(b)(2) to the extent permitted by section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code;
(3)    if at the time of a Participant’s death, distribution of his or her Account has commenced, the remaining portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant’s death, as determined pursuant to Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)2;
(4)    unless a Participant files a written election to defer distribution, distribution shall be made to a Participant by payment in a single lump sum no later than 60 days after the end of the Plan Year which contains the latest of (i) the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date the Participant commenced participation in the Plan and (iii) the Participant’s 65th birthday; provided, however, that if the Participant does not elect a distribution prior to the latest to occur of the events listed above, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to defer such distribution until a date
62



no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 72 (or, in the case of Participants who attained age 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 2020, age 70 1/2); and
(5)    with respect to a Participant who continues in employment after attaining age 72 (or, in the case of Participants who attained age 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 2020, age 70 1/2), distribution of the Participant’s Account shall commence no later than the Participant’s required beginning date. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “required beginning date” shall mean (A) with respect to a Participant who is a 5%-owner (within the meaning of section 416(i) of the Code), April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 72 (or, in the case of Participants who attained age 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 2020, age 70 1/2) and (B) with respect to any other Participant, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant terminates employment with all Employers and Affiliates. Distributions made under this paragraph shall be made in accordance with Section 9.3(d).
(c)    Form of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided in Appendix 1 hereto, any distribution to which a Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, his or her Beneficiary) becomes entitled upon the Participant’s termination of employment shall be distributed by the Trustee by whichever of the following methods the Participant (or Beneficiary) elects:
(1)    an amount not greater than the vested balance of the Participant’s Account;
63



(2)    substantially equal periodic installment payments, payable not less frequently than annually and not more frequently than monthly, designated by a fixed dollar amount or a fixed period elected by the Participant (or Beneficiary); provided, however, that the installment period shall not exceed the life expectancy of the Participant or, to the extent permitted by Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-5, the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary; or
(3)    a combination of (1) and (2).
In accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee, a Participant (or Beneficiary) may change his or her election with respect to the form of distribution, or elect to cancel installment payments, at any time before or after distribution of benefits commences.
(d)    Required Minimum Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all distributions under the Plan will be made in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the final Regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 9.4.    Payment of Small Account Balances
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.3 to the contrary and subject to Section 9.6, if a Participant’s vested Account does not exceed $5,000, then such Account shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the Participant’s termination of employment in the form of a lump sum payment to the Participant.
In the event that a Participant is subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, has a vested Account that exceeds $1,000 and fails to make an affirmative election to either receive the lump sum payment directly in cash or have it directly rolled over pursuant to the
64



provisions of Section 9.6 within such election period as shall be prescribed by the Administrative Committee, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to transfer such lump sum payment in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan (within the meaning of section 7701(c)(37) of the Code) selected by the Administrative Committee (an “Automatic Rollover”). The Automatic Rollover provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to a distribution to a Participant who has attained age 62. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to comply with the requirements of section 401(a)(30) of the Code and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not apply to a Beneficiary.
Section 9.5.    Medium and Order of Withdrawal or Distribution
(a) Medium of Withdrawal or Distribution. All withdrawals and distributions under the Plan shall be made in cash; provided, however, that a Participant or Beneficiary may elect, in accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee, to receive the vested portion of his or her Account that is invested in the L3Harris Stock Fund, if any, in shares of L3Harris Stock (with fractional shares distributed in cash).
(b)    Order of Withdrawal or Distribution. To the extent not otherwise set forth in Section 9.1, any withdrawal or distribution under the Plan shall be charged against a Participant’s contribution and investment subaccounts in the order determined by the Administrative Committee; provided, however, that in order to maximize the tax benefits associated with participation in the Plan, any such withdrawal or distribution first shall be charged against the Participant’s After-Tax Account. Amounts invested in a Participant’s self-directed brokerage account are not available as a source of withdrawal or distribution; provided, however, that a Participant may reallocate his or her balance in the self-directed brokerage account to the other investment options under the Plan as provided in Section 8.2 to permit such amounts to be available for withdrawal or distribution.
65



Section 9.6.    Direct Rollover Option
In the case of a distribution that is an “eligible rollover distribution” within the meaning of section 402(c)(4) of the Code, a Participant, a Beneficiary or a Spouse or former Spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section 414(p) of the Code, may elect that all or any portion of such distribution to which he or she is entitled shall be directly transferred from the Plan to an Eligible Retirement Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any portion of an eligible rollover distribution that consists of after-tax contributions may be transferred only to (X) an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code or (Y) a qualified plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code or an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code that agrees to account separately for amounts so transferred; (ii) a Participant’s Designated Roth Account or Designated Roth Conversion Account may be transferred only to another designated Roth contributions account under an applicable retirement plan described in section 402A(e)(1) of the Code or to a Roth IRA described in section 408A of the Code, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted by the rules of section 402(c)(2) of the Code; and (iii) if the distributee is a nonspouse Beneficiary, the eligible rollover distribution may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code and only if such account or annuity has been established for the purpose of receiving such distribution on behalf of the nonspouse Beneficiary and will be treated as an inherited individual retirement account or annuity pursuant to the provisions of section 402(c)(11) of the Code.
Section 9.7.    Designation of Beneficiary
(a) In General. Each Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be designated contingently or successively and that may be an entity
66



other than a natural person) to receive any distribution to be made under the Plan upon the death of such Participant or, in the case of a Participant who dies after his or her termination of employment but prior to the distribution of the entire amount to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, any undistributed balance to which such Participant would have been entitled. No such designation of a Beneficiary other than a Participant’s Spouse shall be effective if the Participant was married through the one-year period ending on the date of his or her death unless such designation was consented to in writing (or by such other method permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) at the time of such designation by the person who was the Participant’s Spouse during such period, acknowledging the effect of such consent and witnessed by a notary public or, prior to October 1, 1993, a Plan representative, or it is established to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that such consent could not be obtained because the Participant’s Spouse could not be located or because of the existence of other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe as excusing the requirement of such consent. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, a Participant may from time to time, without the consent of any Beneficiary, change or cancel any such designation. Such designation and each change thereof shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee and shall be filed with the Administrative Committee. If (i) no Beneficiary has been named by a deceased Participant, (ii) a Beneficiary designation is not effective pursuant to the second sentence of this section or (iii) all Beneficiaries designated by a Participant have predeceased the Participant, then any undistributed Account of the deceased Participant shall be distributed by the Trustee (a) to the surviving Spouse of such deceased Participant, if any, (b) if there is no surviving Spouse, to the then living descendants, if any, of the deceased Participant, per stirpes, or (c) if there is no surviving Spouse and there are no living descendants, to the estate of such deceased Participant.
67



The divorce of a Participant shall be deemed to revoke any prior designation of the Participant’s former Spouse as a Beneficiary if written evidence of such divorce shall be received by the Administrative Committee before distribution of the Participant’s Account has been made in accordance with such designation.
(b)    Successor Beneficiaries. A Beneficiary who has been designated in accordance with Section 9.7(a) may name a successor beneficiary or beneficiaries in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable form pursuant to which a Participant designates a Beneficiary or the instructions thereto, if such Beneficiary dies after the Participant and before distribution of the entire amount of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan in which the Beneficiary has an interest, then any remaining amount shall be distributed, as soon as practicable after the death of such Beneficiary, in the form of a lump sum payment to the successor beneficiary or beneficiaries or, if there is no such successor beneficiary, to the estate of such deceased Beneficiary.
Section 9.8.    Missing Persons
If following the date on which pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or 9.4 a Participant’s Account may be distributed without the Participant’s consent, the Administrative Committee in the exercise of reasonable diligence has been unable to locate the person or persons entitled to the Participant’s Account, then the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited; provided, however, that to the extent required by law the Plan shall reinstate and pay to such person or persons the amount so forfeited upon a claim for such amount made by such person or persons. The amount to be so reinstated shall be obtained from the total amount that shall have been forfeited under the Plan during the Plan Year that the claim for such forfeited benefit is made, and shall not include any earnings or losses from the date of the forfeiture under this Section. If the amount to
68



be reinstated exceeds the amount of such forfeitures, the Employer in respect of whose Eligible Employee the claim for forfeited benefit is made shall make a contribution in an amount equal to such excess. To the extent the forfeitures under this Section exceed any claims for forfeited benefits made pursuant to this Section, such excess shall be utilized, as determined by the Administrative Committee, in a manner set forth in Section 9.2(b).
Section 9.9.    Distributions to Minor and Disabled Distributees
Any distribution that is payable to a distributee who is a minor or to a distributee who has been legally determined to be unable to manage his or her affairs by reason of illness or mental incompetency may be made to, or for the benefit of, any such distributee at such time consistent with the provisions of this Plan and in such of the following ways as the legal representative of such distributee shall direct: (a) directly to any such minor distributee if, in the opinion of such legal representative, he or she is able to manage his or her affairs, (b) to such legal representative, (c) to a custodian under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act for any such minor distributee, or (d) as otherwise directed by such legal representative. Neither the Administrative Committee nor the Trustee shall be required to oversee the application by any third party other than the legal representative of a distributee of any distribution made to or for the benefit of such distributee pursuant to this Section, and distributions made pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall operate as a complete discharge of the Plan, Trust, Trustee, Employers, Administrative Committee and other Plan fiduciaries with respect to such amounts.
Section 9.10.    Payment of Group Welfare Program Premiums
The Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant who (i) is eligible to be included in any contributory group welfare program maintained or sponsored by an Employer, (ii) elects to be covered under such contributory group welfare
69



program and (iii) is receiving benefits under the Plan in monthly installments to direct that a specified portion of the installment payments be withheld and paid by the Trustee on the Participant’s behalf to the Employer as the Participant’s contribution under such contributory group welfare program. Such direction by a Participant, if permitted by the Administrative Committee, shall be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Any such direction may be revoked by a Participant upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Committee (or such other period of prior written notice acceptable to the Administrative Committee). Any withholding and payment of welfare program costs on behalf of a Participant shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)-13.
Section 9.11.    Dividends in Respect of the L3Harris Stock Fund
Dividends in respect of the L3Harris Stock Fund, if any, shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants and Beneficiaries invested in the L3Harris Stock Fund, based upon their proportionate share of the L3Harris Stock Fund as of such date as may be determined by the Administrative Committee on or before each dividend record date. Cash dividends shall be reinvested in the L3Harris Stock Fund unless the Participant or Beneficiary elects, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, to receive a cash distribution in an amount equal to such dividend. Any such cash distribution shall be made at the time determined by the Administrative Committee not later than 90 days after the end of the Plan Year in which the dividend was paid. Dividends in respect of the L3Harris Stock Fund in a form other than cash shall be invested in the L3Harris Stock Fund.

The principal balance of such loan, when aggregated with the outstanding balances of all other loans of the Participant from plans maintained by the Employers and Affiliates, shall not exceed the least of:
(a)    $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of (x) the highest outstanding loan balance of the Participant under all plans maintained by the Employers and Affiliates during the period beginning one year and one day prior to the date on which such loan is made and ending on the day prior to the date on which such loan is made, over (y) the outstanding loan balance from all such plans on the date on which such loan is made;
(b)    fifty percent (50%) of the vested portion of the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the date on which the loan is made; and

An application for a loan shall be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. The action of the Administrative Committee or its delegate in approving or disapproving a request for a loan shall be final. Any loan under the Plan shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the loan program established by the Administrative Committee.
Section 10.3.    Default
If any loan or portion of a loan made to a Participant under the Plan, together with the accrued interest thereon, is in default, the Trustee, upon direction from the Administrative Committee, shall take appropriate steps to collect the outstanding balance of the loan and to foreclose on the security; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not levy against any portion of the Participant’s Account until such time as a distribution from such Account otherwise could
71



be made under the Plan. Subject to any corrective action permitted by the Internal Revenue Service, default shall occur (i) if the Participant fails to make any scheduled loan payment by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which such payment is due (or within such other grace period as permitted under applicable law and by the Administrative Committee) or (ii) upon the occurrence of any other event that is considered a default event under the loan program established by the Administrative Committee. On the date a Participant is entitled to receive a distribution of his or her Account pursuant to Article 9, any defaulted loan or portion thereof, together with the accrued interest thereon, shall be charged to the Participant’s Account after all other adjustments required under the Plan, but before any distribution pursuant to Article 9.
Section 10.4.    Applicability
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Article 10, any Participant or Beneficiary who is a “party in interest” as defined in section 3(14) of ERISA may apply for a loan from the Plan, regardless of such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s employment status. As a condition of receiving a loan from the Plan, such a Participant or Beneficiary who is not an Employee shall consent to have such loan repaid in substantially equal installments at the times and in the manner determined by the Administrative Committee, but not less frequently than quarterly.

Section 11.5.    Reemployment of Veterans
The provisions of this Section shall apply in the case of the reemployment (or deemed reemployment) by an Employer of an Eligible Employee, within the period prescribed
74



by USERRA, after the Eligible Employee’s completion of a period of Qualified Military Service. The provisions of this Section are intended to provide such Eligible Employee with the rights required by USERRA and section 414(u) of the Code, and shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to Qualified Military Service will be provided in accordance with section 414(u) of the Code.
(a)    Make-Up of Pre-Tax, Designated Roth and After-Tax Contributions. Such Eligible Employee shall be entitled to make contributions under the Plan (“make-up participant contributions”), in addition to any pre-tax, designated Roth and after-tax contributions which the Eligible Employee elects to have made under the Plan pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 5.1. From time to time while employed by an Employer, such Eligible Employee may elect to contribute such make-up participant contributions during the period beginning on the date of such Eligible Employee’s reemployment and ending on the earlier of:

(2)    the fifth anniversary of the date of such reemployment.
Such Eligible Employee shall not be permitted to contribute make-up participant contributions to the Plan in excess of the amount which the Eligible Employee could have elected to have made under the Plan in the form of pre-tax, designated Roth and after-tax contributions if the Eligible Employee had continued in active employment with his or her Employer during such period of Qualified Military Service. The manner in which an Eligible Employee may elect to contribute make-up participant contributions pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be prescribed by the Administrative Committee.
75



(b)    Make-Up of Matching Contributions. An Eligible Employee who contributes make-up participant contributions as described in subsection (a) of this Section shall be entitled to an allocation of matching contributions to his or her Account in an amount equal to the amount of matching contributions that would have been allocated to the Account of such Eligible Employee during the period of Qualified Military Service if such make-up participant contributions had been made in the form of pre-tax, designated Roth and after-tax contributions during such period. The amount necessary to make such allocation of matching contributions shall be derived from forfeitures during the Plan Year in which such matching contributions are made, and if such forfeitures are not sufficient for this purpose, then the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall make a special contribution to the Plan which shall be utilized solely for purposes of such allocation.
(c)    Make-Up of Profit Sharing Contributions, Fringe Contributions and Other Employer Contributions. Upon the timely reemployment of an Eligible Employee following the completion of a period of Qualified Military Service, such Eligible Employee shall be entitled to an allocation of profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions, as applicable, to his or her Account in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions, if any, that would have been allocated to the Account of such Eligible Employee during the period of Qualified Military Service if the Eligible Employee had continued in active employment with his or her Employer during such period and (ii) the amount of profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions that was allocated to the Account of such Eligible Employee during the period of Qualified Military Service pursuant to Section 8.5 or Section 8.6, as applicable.

the later of (i) the date that is 90 days after the date of the Eligible Employee’s reemployment and (ii) the date that profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions, as applicable, normally are due for the Plan Year in which the Qualified Military Service was performed (or, if allocation by such latest date is impossible or unreasonable, as soon as practicable thereafter). The amount necessary to make such allocation of profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions shall be derived from forfeitures during the Plan Year in which such profit sharing contributions, fringe contributions or other employer contributions are made, and if such forfeitures are not sufficient for this purpose, then the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall make a special contribution to the Plan which shall be utilized solely for purposes of such allocation.
(d)    Miscellaneous Rules Regarding Make-Up Contributions.

Any contributions made by an Eligible Employee or an Employer pursuant to this Section on account of a period of Qualified Military Service in a prior Plan Year shall not be subject to the limitations prescribed by Sections 6.1, 6.3 and 6.4 of the Plan (relating to sections 402(g), 415, and 404 of the Code) for the Plan Year in which such contributions are made. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the nondiscrimination rules of Section 6.2 of the Plan (relating to sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m) of the Code) for any Plan Year solely on account of any make-up contributions made by an Eligible Employee or an Employer pursuant to this Section.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO L3HARRIS STOCK
Section 12.1.    Voting Shares of L3Harris Stock
The Trustee, or the Company upon written notice to the Trustee, shall furnish to each Participant (and Beneficiary) whose Account is credited with participating units in the L3Harris Stock Fund the date and purpose of each meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which L3Harris Stock is entitled to be voted. The Trustee, or the Company if it has furnished such information to such Participants (and Beneficiaries) with respect to a particular shareholders’ meeting, shall request from each such Participant (or Beneficiary) instructions to be furnished to the Trustee (or to a tabulating agent appointed by the Trustee, which may be the Company’s transfer agent) regarding the voting at such meeting of L3Harris Stock represented by participating units credited to the Participant’s (or Beneficiary’s) Account. If the Participant (or Beneficiary) furnishes such instructions to the Trustee or its agent within the time specified in the notification, then the Trustee shall vote L3Harris Stock represented by such participating units in accordance with such instructions. All L3Harris Stock represented by participating units
78



credited to Accounts as to which the Trustee or its agent do not receive instructions as specified above and all unallocated L3Harris Stock held in the L3Harris Stock Fund shall be voted by the Trustee proportionately in the same manner as it votes L3Harris Stock as to which the Trustee or its agent has received voting instructions as specified above.
Section 12.2.    Tender Offers
(a) Rights of Participants. In the event a tender offer is made generally to the shareholders of the Company to transfer all or a portion of their shares of L3Harris Stock in return for valuable consideration, including, but not limited to, offers regulated by section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Trustee shall respond to such tender offer in respect of shares of L3Harris Stock held by the Trustee in the L3Harris Stock Fund in accordance with instructions obtained from Participants (or Beneficiaries). Each Participant (or Beneficiary) shall be entitled to instruct the Trustee regarding how to respond to any such tender offer with respect to the number of shares of L3Harris Stock represented by the participating units in the L3Harris Stock Fund then allocated to his or her Account. Each Participant (or Beneficiary) who does not provide timely instructions to the Trustee shall be presumed to have directed the Trustee not to tender shares of L3Harris Stock represented by the participating units then allocated to his or her Account. A Participant (or Beneficiary) shall not be limited in the number of instructions to tender or withdraw from tender which he or she can give, but a Participant (or Beneficiary) shall not have the right to give instructions to tender or withdraw from tender after a reasonable time established by the Trustee pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section. For purposes of this Section, the shares of L3Harris Stock held in the L3Harris Stock Fund shall be treated as allocated to the accounts of Participants in proportion to their respective participating units in the L3Harris Stock Fund as of the immediately preceding record date for
79



ownership of L3Harris Stock for stockholders entitled to tender. The Administrative Committee may direct the Trustee to make a special valuation of the L3Harris Stock Fund in connection with such tender offer. Any securities or other property received by the Trustee as a result of having tendered L3Harris Stock shall be held, and any cash so received shall be invested in short term investments, pending any further action which the Trustee may be required or directed to take pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the period of any public offer for L3Harris Stock, the Trustee shall refrain from making purchases of L3Harris Stock in connection with the Plan and the Trust. In addition to compensation otherwise payable, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for any services attributable to the duties and responsibilities described in this Section.
(b)    Duties of the Administrative Committee. Within a reasonable time after the commencement of a tender offer, the Administrative Committee shall cause the Trustee to provide to each Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be:
(1)    the offer to purchase as distributed by the offeror to the shareholders of the Company;
(2)    a statement of the number of shares of L3Harris Stock represented by the participating units in the L3Harris Stock Fund allocated to his or her Account; and
(3)    directions as to the means by which instructions with respect to the tender offer can be given.
The Administrative Committee shall establish, and the Company shall pay for, a means by which instructions with respect to a tender offer expeditiously can be delivered to the
80



Trustee. The Administrative Committee at its election may engage an agent to receive such instructions and transmit them to the Trustee. All such individual instructions shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any person, including any Employer.
For purposes of allocating the proceeds of any sale or exchange pursuant to a tender offer, the Trustee shall treat as having been sold or exchanged from each of the Accounts of Participants (and Beneficiaries) who provided timely directions to the Trustee under this Section to tender that number of shares of L3Harris Stock represented by participating units in the L3Harris Stock Fund subject to such directions and the proceeds of such sale or exchange shall be allocated accordingly. Any cash proceeds from the sale or exchange of shares of L3Harris Stock in the L3Harris Stock Fund shall be invested in a commingled fund maintained by the Trustee designated to hold such amounts, and any securities or other property received as a result of such a sale or exchange shall be held by the Trustee, in each case pending investment instructions from the Participants (and Beneficiaries) or the Investment Committee, as the case may be.
(c)    Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee shall follow the instructions of the Participants (and Beneficiaries) with respect to the tender offer as transmitted to the Trustee. The Trustee may establish a reasonable time, taking into account the time restrictions of the tender offer, after which it shall not accept instructions of Participants (or Beneficiaries).

(b)    Any member of the Administrative Committee may, but need not, be an employee, director, officer or shareholder of an Employer and such status shall not disqualify him or her from taking any action hereunder or render him or her accountable for any distribution or other material advantage received by such member under the Plan, provided that no member of the Administrative Committee who is a Participant shall take part in any action of the Administrative Committee or any matter involving solely his or her rights under the Plan.

(f)    The Administrative Committee may act at a meeting by the vote of a majority of a quorum of its members or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of its members. The Administrative Committee shall keep records of all of its meetings and forward all necessary communications to the Trustee.

83



administration of the Plan, provided that any such rules and procedures shall be consistent with the provisions of the Plan and ERISA.
(g)    The members of the Administrative Committee shall discharge their duties with respect to the Plan (i) solely in the interest of the Participants and Beneficiaries, (ii) for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the Participants and Beneficiaries and of defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and (iii) with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.

The Administrative Committee shall review the claim and, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, within 90 days after receipt of the claim give written or electronic notice to the claimant of its
85



decision with respect to the claim. If special circumstances require an extension of time, the claimant shall be so advised in writing or by electronic means within the initial 90-day period and in no event shall such an extension exceed 90 days. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrative Committee expects to render a decision. The notice of the decision of the Administrative Committee with respect to the claim shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and, if the claim is wholly or partially denied, shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the claim review procedure under the Plan and the time limits applicable to such procedure (including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following the final denial of a claim).
The claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may request a review of the denial by filing with the Administrative Committee a written request for such review within 60 days after notice of the denial has been received by the claimant. Within the same 60-day period, the claimant may submit to the Administrative Committee written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. Upon request and free of charge, the claimant also may have reasonable access to, and copies of, documents, records and other information relevant to the claim.

The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrative Committee expects to render a decision. If the appeal of the claim is wholly or partially denied, the notice of the Administrative Committee’s final decision shall include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based and a statement that the claimant is entitled, upon request and free of charge, to reasonable access to, and copies of, all relevant documents, records and information. The notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall notify the claimant of (i) his or her right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA and (ii) the limitations period for actions under the Plan as set forth in Section 15.6.
In making determinations regarding claims for benefits, the Administrative Committee shall consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances, including, without limitation, governing plan documents, consistent application of Plan provisions with respect to similarly situated claimants and any comments, documents, records and other information with respect to the claim submitted by the claimant (the “Claimant’s Submissions”). The Claimant’s Submissions shall be considered by the Administrative Committee without regard to whether the Claimant’s Submissions were submitted or considered by the Administrative Committee in the initial benefit determination. In no event shall a Participant, distribute or other person be entitled to challenge a decision of the Administrative Committee in court or in any administrative proceeding unless and until the claims procedures set forth in this Section 13.6 have been complied with and exhausted.

The powers and control of the Company, as provided in the Plan and the trust agreement, shall not be diminished by reason of participation of any such adopting entity in the Plan.
Section 14.2.    Withdrawal from Participation
An Employer may withdraw from participation in the Plan at any time by filing with the Administrative Committee a duly certified copy of a written instrument duly adopted by
90



the Employer to that effect and giving notice of its intended withdrawal to the Administrative Committee, the Company and the Trustee prior to the effective date of withdrawal.
Section 14.3.    Company, Administrative Committee and Investment Committee as Agents for Employers
Each entity which becomes an Employer pursuant to Section 14.1 or Section 14.4 by so doing shall be deemed to have appointed the Company, the Administrative Committee and the Investment Committee as its agents to exercise on its behalf all of the powers and authorities conferred upon the Company, the Administrative Committee and the Investment Committee by the terms of the Plan. The authority of the Company, the Administrative Committee or the Investment Committee to act as such agent shall continue unless and until the portion of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of Employees of the particular Employer and their Beneficiaries is set aside in a separate Trust Fund as provided in Section 17.2.
Section 14.4.    Continuance by a Successor
In the event that an Employer other than the Company is reorganized by way of merger, consolidation, transfer of assets or otherwise, so that another entity other than an Employer succeeds to all or substantially all of such Employer’s business, such successor entity may, with the consent of the Administrative Committee, be substituted for such Employer under the Plan by adopting the Plan. Contributions by such Employer automatically shall be suspended from the effective date of any such reorganization until the date upon which the substitution of such successor entity for the Employer under the Plan becomes effective. If, within 90 days following the effective date of any such reorganization, such successor entity shall not have elected to adopt the Plan or the Administrative Committee fails to consent to such adoption, or an Employer adopts a plan of complete liquidation other than in connection with a reorganization, such Employer’s participation in the Plan automatically shall be permanently terminated as of the close of business on the 90th day following the effective date of such reorganization or as of the close of business on the date of adoption of such plan of complete liquidation, as the case may be.
If such successor entity is substituted for an Employer as described above, then, for all purposes of the Plan, employment of each Employee with such Employer, including service with and compensation paid by such Employer, shall be considered to be employment with such successor entity.
ARTICLE 15

91



Trustee and other administrative expenses, shall be paid under the direction of the Administrative Committee from the Trust Fund to the extent such expenses are not paid by the Employers. The Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, having regard to the nature of a particular expense, shall determine the portion of such expense that is to be borne by each Employer or the manner in which such expense is to be allocated among Accounts. An Employer may seek reimbursement from the Trust Fund of any expense paid by such Employer that the Administrative Committee determines is properly payable from the Trust Fund.
Section 15.2.    Non-Assignability
(a)    In General. No right or interest of any Participant or Beneficiary in the Plan shall be assignable or transferable in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or bankruptcy, but excluding devolution by death or mental incompetency, and any attempt to do so shall be void, and no right or interest of any Participant or Beneficiary in the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Participant or Beneficiary, including claims for alimony or the support of any Spouse, except as provided below.

The Administrative Committee shall adopt rules and procedures, in accordance with section 414(p) of the Code, relating to its (i) review of any domestic relations order for purposes of determining whether the order is a qualified domestic
92



relations order and (ii) administration of a qualified domestic relations order. A domestic relations order shall not fail to constitute a qualified domestic relations order solely because such order provides for distribution to an alternate payee of the benefit assigned to the alternate payee under the Plan prior to the applicable Participant’s earliest retirement age (as defined in section 414(p) of the Code) under the Plan.
(c)    Other Exception. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is ordered or required to pay an amount to the Plan pursuant to (i) a judgment in a criminal action, (ii) a civil judgment in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or (iii) a settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor and the Participant in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, the Participant’s Account under the Plan may, to the extent permitted by law, be offset by such amount.

(a)    The Administrative Committee shall have the right to merge or consolidate all or a portion of the Plan with, or transfer all or part of the assets or liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan; provided, however, that the terms of such merger, consolidation or transfer are such that each Participant, distributee, Beneficiary or other person entitled to receive benefits from the Plan would, if the Plan were to terminate immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, receive a benefit equal to or greater than the benefit such person would
93



be entitled to receive if the Plan were to terminate immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer.
(b)    Amounts transferred to the Plan pursuant to Subsection (a) above (“Transfer Contributions”) and participation in the Plan by Employees who become eligible for the Plan in anticipation or at the time of a plan merger, consolidation or transfer or in connection with a business acquisition by an Employer (“Transferred Employees”) shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect from time to time, except to the extent provided on Schedule A or an Appendix to the Plan which may contain additional terms and conditions governing the application of the Plan to the Transfer Contributions and Transferred Employees. The terms of Schedule A and the Appendices hereby are incorporated and made part of the Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of Schedule A or an Appendix, Schedule A or the Appendix, as applicable, shall control with respect to the Transfer Contributions and Transferred Employees covered by the Schedule or Appendix; provided, however, that if such inconsistency results from changes made in the provisions of the Plan to comply with applicable law, then such provisions of the Plan shall control.
(c)    The Accounts of Employees who will cease to participate in the Plan as a result of a divestiture or similar corporate transaction (such Accounts, “Divestiture Accounts”, and such Employees, “Divestiture Participants”) shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect from time to time, except to the extent provided on Schedule B to the Plan which may contain additional terms and conditions governing the application of the Plan to the Divestiture Accounts and Divestiture Participants. The terms of Schedule B hereby are incorporated and made part of the Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of Schedule B, Schedule B shall control with respect to the Divestiture
94



Accounts and Divestiture Participants covered by the Schedule; provided, however, that if such inconsistency results from changes made in the provisions of the Plan to comply with applicable law, then such provisions of the Plan shall control.

Wherever used in the Plan, words in the masculine gender shall include the masculine or feminine gender, and, unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular shall include the plural, and words in the plural shall include the singular.
Section 15.6.    Statute of Limitations for Actions under the Plan
Except for actions to which the statute of limitations prescribed by section 413 of ERISA applies, (a) no legal or equitable action relating to a claim under section 502 of ERISA may be commenced later than one (1) year after the claimant receives a final decision from the Administrative Committee in response to the claimant’s request for review of an adverse benefit determination and (b) no other legal or equitable action involving the Plan may be commenced later than two (2) years after the date the person bringing the action knew, or had reason to know, of the circumstances giving rise to the action. This provision shall not bar the Plan or its fiduciaries from recovering overpayments of benefits or other amounts incorrectly paid to any person under the Plan at any time or bringing any legal or equitable action against any party.
Section 15.7.    Applicable Law
The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida (without regard to principles of conflicts of law) to the extent such laws have not been preempted by applicable federal law. Venue for any action arising under the Plan shall be in Brevard County, Florida.

Section 15.9.    No Guarantee
None of the Company, the Employers, the Administrative Committee, the Investment Committee or the Trustee in any way guarantees the Trust from loss or depreciation nor the payment of any benefit that may be or become due to any person from the Trust Fund. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant, distributee or Beneficiary an interest in any specific part of the Trust Fund or any other interest except the right to receive benefits from the Trust Fund in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the trust agreement.
Section 15.10.    Plan Voluntary
Although it is intended that the Plan shall be continued and that contributions shall be made as herein provided, the Plan is entirely voluntary on the part of the Employers and the continuance of the Plan and the contributions hereunder are not and shall not be regarded as contractual obligations of the Employers.
Section 15.11.    Legal Fees
Any award of legal fees in connection with an action involving the Plan shall be calculated pursuant to a method that results in the lowest amount of fees being paid, which amount shall be no more than the amount that is reasonable. In no event shall legal fees be awarded for work related to: (a) administrative proceedings under the Plan; (b) unsuccessful claims brought by a Participant or any other person; or (c) actions that are not brought under ERISA. In calculating any award of legal fees, there shall be no enhancement for the risk of
96



contingency, nonpayment or any other risk, nor shall there be applied a contingency multiplier or any other multiplier. In any action brought by a Participant or any other person against the Plan, the Administrative Committee, the Investment Committee, any Plan fiduciary, any Employer or their respective affiliates or their or their affiliates’ respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, or agents (collectively, the “Plan Parties”), legal fees of the Plan Parties in connection with such action shall be paid by the Participant or other person bringing the action, unless the court specifically finds that there was a reasonable basis for the action.

If the Plan is a top-heavy plan for any Plan Year and is not a top-heavy plan for any subsequent Plan Year, the requirements of Section 16.3 shall not be applicable for such subsequent Plan Year.
Section 16.2.    Definitions and Special Rules
.
97



(a)    Definitions. For purposes of this Article 16, the following definitions shall apply:
(1)    Determination Date. The determination date for all plans in the aggregation group shall be the last day of the preceding Plan Year, and the valuation date applicable to a determination date shall be (i) in the case of a defined contribution plan, the date as of which account balances are determined that coincides with or immediately precedes the determination date, and (ii) in the case of a defined benefit plan, the date as of which the most recent actuarial valuation for the Plan Year that includes the determination date is prepared, except that if any such plan specifies a different determination or valuation date, such different date shall be used with respect to such plan.
(2)    Aggregation Group. The aggregation group shall consist of (a) each plan of an Employer in which a key employee is a participant, (b) each other plan that enables such a plan to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code, and (c) any other plans of an Employer that the Company designates as part of the aggregation group.

(b)    Special Rules. For the purpose of determining the account balance or accrued benefit of a participant, (i) the account balance or accrued benefit of any person who has not performed services for an Employer at any time during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account pursuant to this Section, and (ii) any person who received a distribution from a plan (including a plan that has terminated) in the aggregation group during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall be treated as a participant in such plan, and any such distribution shall be included in such participant’s account balance or accrued benefit, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than a person’s severance from employment, death or disability, clause (ii) of this Section 16.2(b) shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period.”
Section 16.3.    Minimum Contribution for Top-Heavy Years
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, for any Plan Year for which the Plan is a top-heavy plan, a minimum contribution shall be made on behalf of each Participant (other than a key employee) who is an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of such Participant’s compensation during such Plan Year and (ii) the highest percentage at which Employer contributions (including pre-tax contributions) are made on behalf of any key employee for such Plan Year.

99



other defined contribution plan that is required to be included in the aggregation group (other than a defined contribution plan that enables a defined benefit plan that is required to be included in such group to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code) during the Plan Year on behalf of such key employee by such key employee’s compensation for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum contribution described in this Section 16.3 for any Plan Year for which the Plan is a top-heavy plan shall not be made under this Plan with respect to any Participant who receives a minimum contribution or minimum benefit for purposes of section 416(c) of the Code under another plan maintained by an Employer or Affiliate.

APPENDIX 1
MONEY PURCHASE PENSION ACCOUNTS

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

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


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

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

TO THE
L3HARRIS EXCESS RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

WHEREAS, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“L3Harris”), heretofore has adopted and maintains the L3Harris Excess Retirement Savings Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2020 (the "Plan");

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan, the Employee Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) of L3Harris has the authority to amend the Plan;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan, the Committee has delegated certain of such amendment authority to the head of global benefits of L3Harris (currently, the Senior Director, Global Benefits) (the “Head of Global Benefits”); and

WHEREAS, L3Harris wishes to amend the Plan (i) to clarify its provisions regarding the separate deferral elections that may be made with respect to bonus or incentive compensation and other eligible compensation and (ii) to permit “Testing Failure Matching Deferrals” (i.e., deferrals equal to matching contributions that would have been made to the L3Harris Retirement Savings Plan had the ACP test or section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code not limited such matching contributions) to be subject to the participant’s distribution elections on file, as opposed to automatically being distributed in accordance with the Plan’s default distribution rules.

3.3. Participation with respect to Testing Failure Matching Deferrals.

Compensation Deferrals earned in the same Plan Year as the Testing Failure Matching Deferrals, or if no such election is in place, in accordance with the default distribution rules set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.2(a).
