Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Certificates

SECTION 4.01. Effect on Capital Stock . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of ATK, Orbital, Merger Sub or the holder of any Orbital Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation;

(b) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Orbital (“ Orbital Common Stock ”) that is owned by Orbital as treasury stock and each share of Orbital Common Stock that is owned by ATK or Merger Sub (in each case, if any) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(c) subject to Section 4.02, each share of Orbital Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 4.01(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of ATK Common Stock equal to the Merger Exchange Ratio (the “ Merger

Consideration ”). All such shares of Orbital Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “ Certificate ”) or evidence of shares in book-entry form that, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Orbital Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of ATK Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Certificate (or evidence of shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with Section 4.02, without interest. For purposes of this Agreement, “ ATK Common Stock ” means the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ATK. As provided in Section 4.04, the right of the holders of the shares of Orbital Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding under applicable Tax Law.

SECTION 4.02. Distribution of Merger Consideration . (a) Deposit of ATK Common Stock. At or prior to the Effective Time, ATK shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Orbital Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article IV through the Agent, certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the shares of ATK Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration and cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.02(f). All such ATK Common Stock and cash deposited with the Agent for purposes of paying the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article IV is hereinafter referred to as the “ Merger Exchange Fund ”. ATK shall instruct the Agent to keep the Merger Exchange Fund segregated from the Sporting Common Stock deposited with the Agent in connection with the Distribution.

(b) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, ATK shall cause the Agent to mail to each holder of record of Orbital Common Stock a form of letter of transmittal (the “ Letter of Transmittal ”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) to the Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as ATK may reasonably specify), together with instructions thereto. Prior to causing the Agent to mail the Letter of Transmittal, ATK shall give Orbital and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Orbital and its counsel.

(c) Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) in the case of shares of Orbital Common Stock represented by a Certificate, the surrender of such Certificate for cancelation to the Agent, or (ii) in the case of shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by

the Agent, in each case together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Agent, the holder of such shares of Orbital Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the Merger Consideration which the holder of such shares of Orbital Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.01 and (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.02(d). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Orbital Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Orbital, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of ATK Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.01 and cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.02(d) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Orbital Common Stock (or, if such Orbital Common Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.02(c), each share of Orbital Common Stock, and any Certificate with respect thereto, shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holders of shares of Orbital Common Stock were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 4.01 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(d)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form).

(d) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to ATK Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the shares of ATK Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 4.02(f), until the surrender of such Certificate (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of ATK Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of ATK Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 4.02(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of ATK Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of ATK Common Stock.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Orbital Common Stock. The shares of ATK Common Stock issued and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article IV upon conversion of any shares of Orbital Common Stock (including any cash paid pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 4.02) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Orbital Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Orbital Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Orbital Common Stock (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to ATK or the Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article IV.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of ATK Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Orbital Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.01. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Orbital Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of ATK Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Orbital Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of ATK Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by ATK and Orbital) on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

(g) Termination of Merger Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Merger Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Orbital Common Stock for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to ATK, upon demand, and any holder of Orbital Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to ATK for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article IV, in each case without any interest thereon.

(h) No Liability. None of Orbital, ATK, Merger Sub, Sporting or the Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Merger Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Merger Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates (or shares of Orbital Common Stock held in book-entry form) for two years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Merger Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of ATK, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Investment of Merger Exchange Fund. The Agent shall invest any cash in the Merger Exchange Fund as directed by ATK. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to ATK.

(j) Lost Certificates . If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by ATK, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as ATK may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 4.03. Adjustments to Orbital Equity Awards Relating to the Merger . (a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Board of Directors of ATK (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the ATK Stock Plans) and the Board of Directors of Orbital (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Orbital Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to effect the following:

(i) adjust the terms of all outstanding Orbital Options, whether vested or unvested, as necessary to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Orbital Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Orbital Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of ATK Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Orbital Common Stock subject to such Orbital Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Merger Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of ATK Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Orbital Common Stock of such Orbital Option divided by (B) the Merger Exchange Ratio (a “ Converted Stock Option ”); and

(ii) adjust the terms of all outstanding Orbital RSUs as necessary to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Orbital RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a restricted stock unit award, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Orbital RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to a number of shares of ATK Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Orbital Common Stock subject to such Orbital RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Merger Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share (a “ Converted RSU ”).

The adjustments provided in this Section 4.03(a) with respect to Orbital Options, whether or not such Orbital Options are “incentive stock options” (as defined in Code Section 422), are intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 424(a) and Code Section 409A.

(b) At the Effective Time, ATK shall assume all the obligations of Orbital under the Orbital Stock Plans, each outstanding Converted Option and Converted RSU and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof.

(c) ATK shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of ATK Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or settlement of the Converted Stock Options and Converted RSUs in accordance with this Section 4.03(c). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution, ATK shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or, to the extent applicable, other appropriate form) with respect to the ATK Common Stock subject to Converted Stock Options and Converted RSUs and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Converted Stock Options and Converted RSUs remain outstanding.

(d) The Board of Directors of Orbital (or if appropriate, any committee administering the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that with respect to the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan: (A) participants in the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ ESPP Participants ”) may not increase their payroll deductions under the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan from those in effect on the date of this Agreement; (B) no new ESPP Participants may commence participation in the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan following the date of this Agreement; (C) all participation in and purchases under the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be suspended effective as of June 30, 2014 (the “ ESPP Suspension Date ”), such that the offering period in effect as of the date of this Agreement will be the final offering period under the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan until otherwise determined by ATK after the Effective Time; and (D) with respect to any offering period under the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan in effect as of the date of the Agreement, Orbital shall ensure that such offering period ends at the ESPP Suspension Date and that each ESPP Participant’s accumulated contributions for such offering period are applied to the purchase of Orbital Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan unless the ESPP Participant has previously withdrawn from such offering period in accordance with the terms of the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Any cash remaining in the Orbital Employee Stock Purchase Plan after purchases occurring on the ESPP Suspension Date shall be refunded to ESPP Participants promptly following the ESPP Suspension Date.

Subject to applicable Law, and to the extent reasonably practicable, each of the parties hereto shall consult with the other parties hereto in advance with respect to any written materials submitted to any Governmental Entity, and, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Entity and to the extent reasonably practicable, shall give the other parties hereto the opportunity to attend and participate in any meetings and conferences with Governmental Entities, in each case in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 8.04(b). None of the parties hereto shall voluntarily extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Review Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the Transactions except with the prior written consent of the other parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which reasonableness shall be determined in light of each party’s obligation, subject to Section 8.04(c), to use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other applicable Review Laws and to obtain all Governmental Approvals under any Review Laws, so as to enable

the parties hereto to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions).

(c) Nothing in Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(b) shall be construed to (i) require any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries to pay any consideration to any third party from whom any Consent or Governmental Approval is requested, other than filing fees paid to Governmental Entities, (ii) require ATK or any of its Subsidiaries to sell, divest or dispose of (or offer or commit to sell, divest or dispose of) any of the assets, properties, rights or claims of the Sporting Business or to otherwise offer, take, commit to or accept any other action, restriction or limitation with respect to the Sporting Business or (iii) require or permit ATK, Orbital or their respective Subsidiaries to sell, divest or dispose of (or offer or commit to sell, divest or dispose of) any asset, property, right or claim or to otherwise offer, take, commit to or accept any action, restriction or limitation of or on ATK, Orbital or their respective Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the other party if (1) in the case of any such action with respect to the assets, properties, rights or claims of the defense business of ATK or Orbital, such action would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the defense businesses of ATK and/or Orbital, taken as a whole, or (2) in the case of any such action with respect to the assets, properties, rights or claims of the aerospace business of ATK or Orbital, such action would require the divestiture or disposal of any business, division or program that generates annual revenues in excess of $100.0 million (determined based on revenues for the most recently completed fiscal year of ATK or Orbital, as applicable, prior to the date of this Agreement).

SECTION 8.05. Rights Under ATK Insurance Policies . In the event that the Sporting Business (including any asset, property, claim or right to be held by Sporting or a Sporting Subsidiary after giving pro forma effect to the Sporting Transfers) suffers or has suffered any damage, destruction or other casualty loss or any other liability that is insured under any insurance policy held by ATK or an ATK Subsidiary (collectively, the “ ATK Insurance Policies ”) and arises or has arisen prior to the Distribution Date, ATK shall, or shall cause the appropriate ATK Subsidiary to, in each case to the extent permitted under the applicable ATK Insurance Policy, (i) assert a claim under the appropriate ATK Insurance Policy, (ii) surrender to Sporting after the Distribution Date any insurance proceeds received by ATK or any ATK Subsidiary under any ATK Insurance Policy with respect to such damage, destruction or casualty loss, less (A) any amount of such insurance proceeds applied by ATK or any ATK Subsidiary to the physical restoration of such asset, (B) the amount of all applicable deductibles and co-payment provisions and all payment, reinsurance or reimbursement obligations of ATK or any ATK Subsidiary in respect thereof and (C) the amount of ATK’s and each ATK Subsidiary’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the foregoing, and (iii) assign to Sporting after the Distribution Date all rights of ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries with respect to any causes of action (other than the rights with respect to causes of actions under the ATK Insurance Policies, which are hereby expressly retained by ATK), whether or not litigation has commenced as of the Distribution Date, in connection with such damage, destruction or casualty loss. Sporting will use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire, on or as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, insurance coverage with respect to the Sporting Business

for damage, destruction or other casualty loss or any other liability occurring prior to the Distribution Date, as described in the immediately preceding sentence, and ATK will, until the one-year anniversary of the Distribution Date and as requested by Sporting, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Sporting in connection with the foregoing; provided that Sporting shall promptly reimburse ATK for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by ATK or any ATK Subsidiary in connection with the foregoing. During the eighteen months period following the Distribution Date (or, if later, until the final resolution of any relevant claim relating to the Sporting Business), ATK shall not, and shall cause all applicable ATK Subsidiaries not to, amend, commute, terminate, buy out, extinguish liability under or otherwise modify any ATK Insurance Policy in a manner that would adversely affect Sporting’s rights pursuant to this Section 8.05 in any material respect; provided , however , that this sentence shall not require ATK or any ATK Subsidiary to renew or keep from lapsing any ATK Insurance Policy. Subject to ATK’s and the ATK Subsidiaries’ compliance with this Section 8.05, neither ATK nor any ATK Subsidiary shall bear any Liability for the failure of an insurer to pay any claim under any ATK Insurance Policy.

SECTION 8.06. No Use of Retained Names . Sporting shall, and shall cause the Sporting Subsidiaries to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event (a) within 90 days after the Distribution Date, make all necessary filings and take all other necessary actions to discontinue any references to the Retained Names, including by taking any necessary action such that no Sporting Subsidiary has a corporate name, or does business using a name, that includes as part of its name a Retained Name, (b) within 180 days after the Distribution Date, revise print advertising, product labeling and all other information or other materials, including any Internet or other electronic communications vehicles, to delete all references to the Retained Names and (c) within 180 days after the Distribution Date, change signage and stationery and otherwise discontinue use of the Retained Names. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be permitted to hold, use, transfer and sell inventory of Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Sporting Transfers) that is in existence on the Distribution Date and that has packing or labeling bearing a Retained Name until all such inventory is depleted. In no event shall Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary use any Retained Names after the Distribution in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Retained Names by ATK or any of its Subsidiaries during the 360-day period preceding the Distribution Date.

SECTION 8.07. Distribution Employee Matters .

(a) Sporting Benefit Plans and ATK Benefit Plans.

(i) Effective as of the Distribution Date, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (A) Sporting shall, or shall cause the applicable Sporting Subsidiaries to, assume all Liabilities with respect to each Sporting Benefit Plan, and (B) each Continuing Sporting Employee and Sporting Former Employee shall cease active participation in each ATK Benefit Plan. Furthermore, effective as of the Distribution Date, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.07, Sporting shall, or shall cause the applicable Sporting

Subsidiaries to, assume all Liabilities with respect to each replicated ATK Benefit Plan for Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees as set forth below in this Section 8.07 (such replicated plans and the Sporting Benefit Plans shall be referred to as the “ Post-Distribution Sporting Benefit Plans ”).

(ii) Each Continuing Sporting Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in the Post-Distribution Sporting Benefit Plan corresponding to the applicable ATK Benefit Plan, if any, in which such Continuing Sporting Employee participated immediately before the Distribution Date. For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the Post-Distribution Sporting Benefit Plans, each Continuing Sporting Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with ATK and its Subsidiaries (and their predecessors) before the Distribution Date, to the same extent as such Continuing Sporting Employee was entitled, before the Distribution Date, to credit for such service under any similar ATK Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Sporting Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Distribution Date, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) Cash Incentive Bonus Plans. ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries shall have paid, prior to the Distribution Date, all amounts earned under each cash incentive bonus plan with respect to each performance period concluding prior to April 1, 2014, other than any such amounts that were deferred by the applicable cash incentive bonus plan participant. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.07(a), effective on or prior to the Distribution Date (i) ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries shall, except as provided in Section 8.07(b)(ii)(B), be solely responsible for, and shall assume or retain, as the case may be, all Liabilities for annual and other short-term bonuses, commissions or other incentive compensation earned by ATK Employees and ATK Former Employees with respect to periods ending on or after April 1, 2014 and (ii) Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for, and shall assume or retain, as the case may be, all Liabilities for annual and other short-term bonuses, commissions or other incentive compensation (A) earned by Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees with respect to periods ending on or after April 1, 2014 and (B) under each Sporting Benefit Plan that is a cash based bonus, commission or other incentive compensation plan set forth in Section 8.07(b) of the ATK Disclosure Letter.

(i) Effective as of the Distribution Date, Sporting shall establish certain welfare benefit plans (such plans, the “ Sporting Welfare Plans ”). Each Sporting Welfare Plan shall have terms and features (including benefit coverage options and employer contribution provisions) that are substantially identical to the applicable ATK Welfare Benefit Plan in which the Continuing Sporting Employees participated immediately prior to the Distribution Date (such ATK Welfare Benefit Plans collectively being the “ ATK Welfare Plans ”), such that

(for the avoidance of doubt) each ATK Welfare Plan is substantially replicated by a Sporting Welfare Plan.

(ii) Effective on or prior to the Distribution Date, Sporting shall, or shall cause the applicable Sporting Subsidiaries to, assume all Liabilities, whenever incurred, of ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries to Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees, their eligible dependents and their other covered beneficiaries in respect of health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Sections 601 et seq. and Sections 701 et seq. of ERISA, Code Section 4980B and Code Sections 9801 et seq. and applicable state or similar Law (or as relates to similar domestic partner coverages under an ATK Welfare Plan) .

(iii) For purposes of each Sporting Welfare Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Sporting Employee, Sporting shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, or shall cause the applicable Sporting Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (A) cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Sporting Welfare Plan to be waived for such Continuing Sporting Employee and his or her eligible dependents or other covered beneficiaries, and (B) cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her eligible dependents or other covered beneficiaries during the portion of the plan year of the ATK Welfare Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding Sporting Welfare Plan begins to be taken into account under such Sporting Welfare Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her eligible dependents or other covered beneficiaries for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Sporting Welfare Plan.

(iv) From and after the Distribution Date, ATK shall retain all Liabilities in accordance with the ATK Welfare Plans for payment of all medical, dental, vision, health, non-occupational short-term disability benefit and long-term disability benefit claims (collectively, “ Welfare Benefit Claims ”) incurred under such plans prior to the Distribution Date with respect to any Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee (or any eligible dependent or other covered beneficiary thereof), and Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall not assume any Liability with respect to such Welfare Benefit Claims, except that Sporting shall assume or retain, as the case may be, Liability for such Welfare Benefit Claims to the extent required by applicable Law. From and after the Distribution Date, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be liable in accordance with the Sporting Welfare Plans for payment of all medical, dental, vision, health, and long-term disability benefit claims incurred under such plans from and after the Distribution Date with respect to any Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee (or any eligible dependent or other covered beneficiary thereof) (collectively, “ Post-Distribution Welfare Benefit Claims ”), and ATK or the applicable ATK Subsidiary shall not assume any

Liability with respect to such Post-Distribution Welfare Benefit Claims. For purposes of the foregoing, a claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (A) life, accidental death and dismemberment, and business travel accident insurance benefits and long-term disability benefits, upon the death, disability or accident giving rise to such benefits, (B) health, dental and prescription drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital confinement), upon provision of such services, materials or supplies, and (C) non-occupational short-term disability, upon the initiation of any claim for such benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each non-occupational short-term disability benefit claim incurred, or deemed incurred pursuant to this Section 8.07(c)(iv), with respect to any Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee prior to the Distribution Date, Sporting shall, or shall cause the applicable Sporting Subsidiaries to, reimburse ATK or the applicable ATK Subsidiary (A) an amount equal to the value of each payment made by ATK or the applicable ATK Subsidiary on or after the Distribution Date to such Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee on account of such non-occupational short-term disability benefit claim and (B) as soon as reasonably practicable after ATK or the applicable ATK Subsidiary has provided Sporting or the applicable Sporting Subsidiary with written confirmation that ATK or the applicable ATK Subsidiary has made such payments to such Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee.

(v) Workers’ Compensation Benefits . From and after the Distribution Date, Sporting shall assume Liability for payment of all claims for workers’ compensation benefits that are incurred prior to, on, or after the Distribution Date with respect to any Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee, and Sporting shall retain Liability for all claims for workers’ compensation benefits that are incurred prior to the Distribution Date to the extent such claims relate to a Sporting Benefit Plan.

(d) Paid Time Off. Effective on or prior to the Distribution Date, Sporting shall, or shall cause the applicable Sporting Subsidiaries to, assume Liability (i) for all vacation days (regular, supplemental or banked) accrued or earned but not yet taken by each Continuing Sporting Employee as of the Distribution Date (the “ Accrued Vacation Days ”) and (ii) with respect to each Continuing Sporting Employee who has sold all or a portion of his or her Accrued Vacation Days pursuant to and in accordance with a policy of ATK or any ATK Subsidiary prior to the Distribution Date, for supplemental payments to such Continuing Sporting Employee in equal amounts over the remainder of the calendar year in satisfaction of such sale (the “ Sold PTO ”). In the event that a Continuing Sporting Employee is entitled under applicable Law or any policy of ATK or any ATK Subsidiary to be paid in cash for any Accrued Vacation Days or Sold PTO in connection with the occurrence of the Distribution, Sporting or the applicable Sporting Subsidiary shall discharge the Liability for such Accrued Vacation Days and Sold PTO.

(e) Flexible Spending Account Plans. Effective not later than the Distribution Date, Sporting shall, or shall cause the Sporting Subsidiaries to, have in effect flexible spending arrangements under a cafeteria plan qualifying under Code

Section 125 (the “ New Flexible Spending Account Plan ”), and from and after the Distribution Date, Sporting shall be liable for all Liabilities and account balances of the ATK Flexible Spending Account Plan maintained in the United States with respect to Continuing Sporting Employees, Sporting Former Employees and their respective dependents (the “ ATK Flexible Spending Account Plan ”). From and after the Distribution Date, for the balance of the coverage year (and any grace period) all claims for reimbursement which have not been paid as of the Distribution Date shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the New Flexible Spending Account Plan. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, (i) ATK shall, or shall cause the ATK Subsidiaries to, transfer to Sporting or the applicable Sporting Subsidiary an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate contributions to the ATK Flexible Spending Account Plan made by Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees prior to the Distribution Date for the plan year in which the Distribution Date occurs over the aggregate reimbursement payouts made to Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees prior to the Distribution Date for such year from such plan, and (ii) Sporting shall, or shall cause the Sporting Subsidiaries to, (A) restore the account balances of the Continuing Sporting Employees and the Sporting Former Employees to the value as of the date immediately prior to the Distribution Date less any reimbursement payouts made between the Distribution Date and the date ATK causes such amounts to be transferred and (B) cause such amounts, plus any additional amounts necessary to restore the account balances, to be credited to each such Continuing Sporting Employee’s and Sporting Former Employee’s account under the New Flexible Spending Account Plan. In connection with such transfer, Sporting shall deem that such employees’ deferral elections made under the ATK Flexible Spending Account Plan for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs shall continue in effect under the New Flexible Spending Account Plan for the remainder of the plan year in which the Distribution Date occurs. If the aggregate reimbursement payouts made to Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees from the ATK Flexible Spending Account Plan prior to the Distribution Date for the plan year in which the Distribution Date occurs exceed the aggregate accumulated contributions made by the Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees to such plan prior to the Distribution Date for such plan year, Sporting shall make a payment equal to the value of such excess to ATK as soon as practicable following Sporting’s receipt of additional contributions from the applicable Continuing Sporting Employee and Sporting Former Employee.

(f) ATK 401(k) Plan.

(i) Effective as of the Distribution Date, Sporting shall establish a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Code Section 401(k) (the “ Sporting 401(k) Plan ”) providing benefits to the Continuing Sporting Employees participating in any tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by ATK (the “ ATK 401(k) Plan ”) as of the Distribution Date and any Sporting Employees hired prior to the Distribution Date but who had not yet begun participating in the ATK 401(k) Plan. Furthermore, such Sporting 401(k) Plan shall otherwise provide benefits and features (including investment options) substantially identical to those provided

under the ATK 401(k) Plan as of the date immediately prior to the Distribution Date.

(ii) Immediately following the Distribution Date, and subject to ATK’s receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Sporting 401(k) Plan meets the requirements of Code Sections 401(a) and 501(a), ATK shall cause to be transferred from the ATK 401(k) Plan to the Sporting 401(k) Plan the assets and Liabilities relating to the account balances of the individuals who are, as of such date, Continuing Sporting Employees or Sporting Former Employees (whether vested or unvested as of the Distribution Date), in accordance with the requirements of all applicable laws, including the Code. From and after the Distribution Date, Sporting shall administer the transferred accounts of the Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees in the Sporting 401(k) Plan and the accounts of any Sporting Employee and Sporting Former Employee who becomes a participant in the Sporting 401(k) Plan after the Distribution Date, in each case, in accordance with all applicable Laws, including the Code; provided that ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries shall provide assistance as is reasonably necessary for the administration of such accounts. Such transfer of assets shall consist of cash, cash equivalents, property or participant loan receivables equal to all the accrued benefit Liabilities relating to all account balances referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8.07(f), including such Liabilities for the beneficiaries of the Sporting Employees and including such accrued benefit Liabilities arising under any applicable qualified domestic relations order. From and after the Distribution Date, neither ATK nor the ATK 401(k) Plan shall have any Liability to provide such participants in the ATK 401(k) Plan whose balances were transferred to the Sporting 401(k) Plan (or any of their beneficiaries) with benefits under the ATK 401(k) Plan following the Distribution Date.

(iii) ATK shall permit each ATK Shared Services Employee who experiences a Transition Period Employment Transfer to effect, and Sporting shall cause the Sporting 401(k) Plan to accept, in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of the Sporting 401(k) Plan and the ATK 401(k) Plan, a rollover of the account balances of such ATK Shared Services Employee who experiences a Transition Period Employment Transfer (including earnings through the date of transfer and promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) under the ATK 401(k) Plan if such rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of the Sporting 401(k) Plan and the ATK 401(k) Plan by such ATK Shared Services Employee who experiences a Transition Period Employment Transfer. Upon completion of a transfer of the account balances of any ATK Shared Services Employee as described in this Section 8.07(f)(iii), Sporting and/or the Sporting 401(k) Plan will be responsible for all Liabilities of ATK under the ATK 401(k) Plan with respect to the applicable ATK Shared Services Employee whose account balances were transferred to the Sporting 401(k) Plan and his or her beneficiaries, and none of ATK, any ATK Subsidiary or the ATK 401(k) Plan shall have any Liability to provide such individual (or any of his or her beneficiaries) with benefits under the ATK 401(k) Plan.

(g) ATK Qualified Pension Plans.

(i) No later than the Distribution Date, Sporting shall cause to be established or maintained one or more defined benefit pension plans (collectively, the “ Sporting Pension Plans ”) that, subject to this Section 8.07(g), provide benefits that are substantially identical to those provided by the ATK Pension Benefit Plans applicable to Continuing Sporting Employees, Sporting Former Employees and their respective beneficiaries (the “ ATK Pension Plans ”) who participate in the ATK Pension Plans immediately prior to the Distribution Date (collectively, the “ Pension Participants ”), based on the terms of the ATK Pension Plans as of the Distribution Date. Each Sporting Pension Plan shall be established or maintained for the benefit of each Pension Participant and shall be qualified under Code Section 401(a), and the trust which is a part of such plan shall be exempt from tax under Code Section 501(a). Each Pension Participant participating in an ATK Pension Plan as of the Distribution Date shall become a participant in a Sporting Pension Plan as of the Distribution Date. Each Sporting Pension Plan and the trust which is a part of such plan (and any successor to such plan or trust) shall provide that (i) the assets transferred to such Sporting Pension Plan from an ATK Pension Plan shall be held by the trust which is a part of such Sporting Pension Plan for the exclusive benefit of the participants in such plan, (ii) the accrued benefits as of the Distribution Date of each Pension Participant may not be decreased by amendment or otherwise and (iii) each Pension Participant shall have the right to receive his or her benefit accrued through the Distribution Date under the applicable ATK Pension Plan in any optional form provided under such ATK Pension Plan.

(ii) As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, ATK shall cause its actuary to calculate the Accrued Liability as of the end of the month that includes the Distribution Date. The term “ Accrued Liability ” shall mean the benefit obligation under each ATK Pension Plan for each Pension Participant on the basis of the actuarial assumptions set forth in Section 8.07(g)(ii) of the ATK Disclosure Letter. If the Accrued Liability of all participants and beneficiaries (whether or not Pension Participants) under any ATK Pension Plan is determined to be less than the fair market value of the assets of such ATK Pension Plan as of the Distribution Date then ATK shall cause to be transferred from the trust established as part of such ATK Pension Plan to a trust established by Sporting as part of a Sporting Pension Plan cash or assets (or a combination thereof) equal to the Accrued Liability for all Pension Participants under such ATK Pension Plan, as determined as of the Distribution Date. If the Accrued Liability of all participants and beneficiaries (whether or not Pension Participants) under any ATK Pension Plan is determined to be equal to or more than the fair market value of the assets of such ATK Pension Plan as of the Distribution Date, then ATK shall cause its actuary to determine the amount of assets allocable to the Accrued Liabilities of the Pension Participants under such ATK Pension Plan based on Section 4044 of ERISA (the “ Section 4044 Amount ”), and ATK shall cause to be transferred from the trust established as part of such ATK Pension Plan to a trust established by Sporting as part of a Sporting Pension Plan cash or assets (or a

combination thereof) equal to the Section 4044 Amount applicable to the Pension Participants, as determined as of the Distribution Date, provided , however , if the Accrued Liability of Pension Participants under any ATK Pension Plan is determined to be less than three percent of the fair market value of the assets of such ATK Pension Plan as of the Distribution Date, ATK’s actuary may determine that the amount transferred from any such ATK Pension Plan to a Sporting Pension Plan shall be determined pursuant to the de minimis rule under Section 414(l) of the Code and the related regulations thereunder, and such amount shall be deemed to be the Section 4044 Amount for purposes of such ATK Pension Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the transfers of assets and Liabilities contemplated by this Section 8.07(g) shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 414(l) and the related regulations (including the safe harbor assumptions and methodology of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“ PBGC ”) as of the end of the month that includes the Distribution Date), and the amount expressly called for to be transferred pursuant to this Section 8.07(g) shall be adjusted to the extent necessary for the approval of any Governmental Entity (including the IRS and the PBGC) and to satisfy Code Section 414(l) and the related regulations as well as Section 4044 of ERISA and the related regulations. The amount finally determined in accordance with the foregoing to be transferred from an ATK Pension Plan to a Sporting Pension Plan shall be adjusted, as determined by ATK’s actuary, to take into account the actual investment return on the assets of such ATK Pension Plan from the end of the month in which the Distribution Date occurs until the applicable Pension Transfer Date and shall be decreased by any benefit payment made to a Pension Participant under such ATK Pension Plan during such period.

(iii) Any transfer of assets from an ATK Pension Plan to a Sporting Pension Plan shall be made as soon as practicable following the determination by ATK’s actuary of the applicable amount to be transferred, but in no event later than 120 days following the later of (A) the final determination of ATK’s actuary and (B) the Distribution Date (the date of each such transfer, a “ Pension Transfer Date ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer shall be made until such time as ATK has been provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to ATK that (i) the applicable Sporting Pension Plan satisfies the requirements for a qualified plan under Code Section 401(a), (ii) Sporting has established a trust as part of such Sporting Pension Plan that is exempt from tax under Code Section 501(a) and (iii) the parties have received all other approvals from, and made all required filings to, all applicable Governmental Entities. Unless ATK and Sporting agree otherwise, each Pension Transfer Date shall occur on the last Business Day of a month. ATK’s actuary shall be responsible for the required actuarial certification under Code Section 414(l). As of each Pension Transfer Date, Sporting and the applicable Sporting Pension Plan shall assume all Liabilities of ATK, its Affiliates and the applicable ATK Pension Plan with respect to the applicable Pension Participants under such ATK Pension Plan and Sporting and such Sporting Pension Plan shall become, with respect to each applicable Pension Participant, responsible for all benefits due and acts, omissions and transactions under or in

connection with such ATK Pension Plan, whether arising prior to, on or after the Distribution Date.

(iv) The Accrued Liability and the Section 4044 Amount shall be determined by an enrolled actuary designated by ATK, and ATK shall provide any actuary designated by Sporting with information reasonably necessary to calculate the Accrued Liability and the Section 4044 Amount and to verify that such calculations have been performed in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and Section 8.07(g) of the ATK Disclosure Letter. Within 30 days following receipt by Sporting’s actuary of the calculation of the Accrued Liability and the Section 4044 Amount, Sporting shall notify ATK in writing if there is a good faith dispute between ATK’s actuary and Sporting’s actuary as to the calculation of the Accrued Liability and the Section 4044 Amount. If Sporting does not notify ATK of any good faith dispute within such 30 day period, the determination of ATK’s actuary shall become conclusive, final and binding. If any such dispute remains unresolved for 30 days following ATK’s receipt of such written notification from Sporting (or within such longer period as ATK and Sporting shall mutually agree), the chief financial officers of ATK and Sporting shall endeavor to resolve the dispute during the 30-day period that follows such 30-day (or longer) period. If such dispute remains unresolved at the end of such 30-day period, ATK and Sporting shall select and appoint an independent nationally recognized actuary mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto in writing. The reasoned written decision of such actuary shall be rendered within 30 days of such appointment and shall be conclusive as to any dispute for which such actuary was appointed. The cost of such actuary shall be divided equally between ATK and Sporting. Each of Sporting and ATK shall be responsible for the cost of its own actuary.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.07(g), the Section 4044 Amount shall be determined without regard to amounts treated as a separate account maintained for the payment of sickness, accident, hospitalization, and medical expenses of retired employees, their spouses, and their dependents (“ Retiree Medical Benefits ”) as provided under Code Section 401(h) (the “ Section 401(h) Account ”). No assets shall be transferred from the ATK Pension Plan to the Sporting Pension Plan from the Section 401(h) Account, unless the Section 401(h) Account covers Retiree Medical Benefits to be provided under a Sporting Post-Employment Welfare Plan, in which case a transfer of Section 401(h) Account assets to the Sporting Pension Plan shall occur at the same time as provided under Section 8.07(g)(iii), in an amount, as determined by ATK’s actuary, equal to the value of the Section 401(h) Account at the applicable Pension Transfer Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actuarial present value of Retiree Medical Benefits expected at that time to be provided under a Sporting Post-Employment Welfare Plan to Pension Participants who, as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date, were participants in an ATK Pension Plan that included a Section 401(h) Account, and the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the actuarial present value of Retiree Medical Benefits expected at that time to be provided under a Sporting Post-Employment Welfare

Plan to Pension Participants who, as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date, were participants in an ATK Pension Plan that included a Section 401(h) Account and (B) the actuarial present value of Retiree Medical Benefits to be provided under the ATK Post-Employment Welfare Plans to participants allocated to the ATK Pension Plan. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the actuarial present value of Retiree Medical Benefits shall be the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of such Retiree Medical Benefits, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, based on the assumptions used in ATK’s most recent year-end accounting disclosures.

(vi) Sporting shall use its best efforts to qualify each Sporting Pension Plan under Code Section 401(a), and Sporting and ATK shall reasonably cooperate to make any and all filings and submissions to the appropriate Governmental Entities required to be made by ATK or Sporting as are appropriate in effectuating the provisions of this Section 8.07(g) (including (i) IRS Forms 5310-A in respect of the transfers of assets and (ii) in the event that the Transactions constitute a “reportable event” (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA and the related regulations) for which the 30-day notice has not been waived, timely notification of the PBGC and filing of all reports required in connection therewith).

(vii) From and after the Distribution, (A) Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all Liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the Sporting Pension Plans, whether accrued (or relating to services provided) before, on or after the Distribution and (B) ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all Liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the ATK Pension Plans, whether accrued (or relating to services provided) before, on or after the Distribution (it being understood that ATK, the ATK Subsidiaries and the ATK Pension Plans shall be solely and exclusively responsible for the administration and payment of benefits with respect to the applicable Pension Participants under the ATK Pension Plans until the applicable Pension Transfer Date).

(viii) The parties hereto shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the assets and Liabilities associated with the participation of any ATK Shared Services Employee who experiences a Transition Period Employment Transfer in the ATK Pension Plans shall be transferred to a Sporting Pension Plan in accordance with the principles of this Section 8.07(g).

(h) ATK Nonqualified Pension and Retirement Plans.

(i) Effective on or prior to the Distribution, Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary shall establish certain nonqualified pension and retirement plans (such plans, the “ Sporting Nonqualified Plans ”) in accordance with this Section 8.07(h). Each Sporting Nonqualified Plan shall have terms and features (including benefit accrual formulas and employer contribution provisions) that are substantially identical to the ATK Benefit Plans that are nonqualified pension and retirement

plans applicable to Continuing Sporting Employees, Sporting Former Employees and their respective beneficiaries who participated in such ATK Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Distribution Date (such ATK Benefit Plans collectively being the “ ATK Nonqualified Plans ”) such that (for the avoidance of doubt) each ATK Nonqualified Plan is substantially replicated by a corresponding Sporting Nonqualified Plan. Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be solely responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate actions to establish, maintain and administer the Sporting Nonqualified Plans in compliance with applicable Law. Each Sporting Nonqualified Plan shall assume Liability for all benefits accrued or earned (whether or not vested) by Continuing Sporting Employees, Sporting Former Employees and their respective beneficiaries under the corresponding ATK Nonqualified Plan as of the Distribution Date. From and after the Distribution Date, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all Liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the Sporting Nonqualified Plans, whether accrued (or relating to services provided) before, on or after the Distribution Date.

(ii) Within 60 days after the Distribution Date, ATK shall cause its actuary to determine the value, as of the Distribution, of the amount of assets to be transferred from each rabbi trust established to pay benefits under one or more of the ATK Nonqualified Plans (each, an “ ATK Rabbi Trust ”) to a rabbi trust established or maintained by Sporting (each, a “ Sporting Rabbi Trust ”) as designated by Sporting with respect to the Sporting Nonqualified Plans (each, a “ Nonqualified Plan Transfer Amount ”), which transfer shall be effected as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (but in no event later than 30 days after the determination of the applicable Nonqualified Plan Transfer Amount by ATK’s actuary) (the date of such transfer, a “ Nonqualified Plan Transfer Date ”). Each Nonqualified Plan Transfer Amount shall be determined by such actuary and shall mean the portion of the assets of the applicable ATK Rabbi Trust that bears the same ratio to the total assets of such ATK Rabbi Trust, in each case, as of the Distribution Date, as the ratio of the actuarial present value of the aggregate benefits accrued or earned (whether or not vested) as of the Distribution Date by Sporting Employees, Sporting Former Employees and their respective beneficiaries under the ATK Nonqualified Plans with respect to which such ATK Rabbi Trust is maintained to the actuarial present value of the total benefits earned or accrued (whether or not vested) as of the Distribution Date with respect to all participants under such plans; provided , however , that each such Nonqualified Plan Transfer Amount shall be adjusted, as determined by ATK’s actuary, to take into account the actual investment return on the assets of the applicable ATK Rabbi Trust from and including the end of the month in which the Distribution occurs, up to, but not including, the applicable Nonqualified Plan Transfer Date, and shall be decreased by any benefit payment made to a Continuing Sporting Employee, Sporting Former Employee or their respective beneficiaries from the applicable ATK Rabbi Trust during such period. As part of the determination and transfer of any applicable Nonqualified Plan Transfer Amount, ATK and Sporting shall cooperate in good faith to appropriately allocate and transfer any non-marketable assets held in the applicable ATK Rabbi Trust

(including any corporate-owned life insurance policies) to the appropriate Sporting Rabbi Trust.

(iii) Sporting or the applicable Sporting Subsidiary shall, to the extent applicable, cause the corresponding Sporting Nonqualified Plan to (A) credit and recognize the compensation paid by ATK and its Affiliates (including, for these purposes, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries) to such participant to the extent recognized under the corresponding ATK Nonqualified Plan for all applicable purposes under such Sporting Nonqualified Plan as though it were compensation from Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries, (B) assume and honor the terms of all arrangements relating to beneficiaries and alternate payees in effect and honored under the corresponding ATK Nonqualified Plan, (C) credit each such participant’s account with (1) the amount deferred by such individual into the corresponding ATK Nonqualified Plan as of the Distribution Date, plus (2) any employer contributions, whether vested or unvested, deemed to have been made in relation to the amount described in clause (C)(1), including, in each case, any earnings thereon, (D) recognize and honor all deferral and distribution elections made by such individual (including any deferral election applicable to any bonus earned but not yet paid as of the Distribution Date) and (E) recognize and credit each participant for their pre-Distribution service with ATK and its predecessors and Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries) .

(iv) No Distributions on Separation. Sporting and ATK acknowledge that neither the Distribution nor any of the other Transactions will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under any Employee Benefit Plan that is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for any Sporting Employee, ATK Employee, Sporting Former Employee or ATK Former Employee and, consequently, that the payment or distribution of any compensation to which any Sporting Employee, ATK Employee, Sporting Former Employee or ATK Former Employee is entitled under any such Employee Benefit Plan will occur upon such individual’s separation from service from Sporting, ATK or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, or at such other time as specified in the applicable Employee Benefit Plan (which may include a Transition Period Employment Transfer).

(v) Code Section 409A. Sporting and ATK shall cooperate in good faith so that the Distribution will not result in adverse Tax consequences under Code Section 409A to any Sporting Employee, ATK Employee, Sporting Former Employee or ATK Former Employee, or their respective beneficiaries, in respect of their benefits under any Post-Distribution Sporting Benefit Plan or ATK Benefit Plan.

(i) Post-Employment Welfare Benefits.

(i) Effective on or prior to the Distribution Date, Sporting shall maintain, or cause its Subsidiaries to maintain, one or more post-employment

welfare benefit plans (each such plan, a “ Sporting Post-Employment Welfare Plan ”) for the benefit of each Continuing Sporting Employee and Sporting Former Employee (or any eligible dependent or other covered beneficiary thereof) who, immediately prior to the Distribution Date, participates in or has accrued benefits under the post-employment welfare benefit plans maintained by ATK or any ATK Subsidiary (such plans, the “ ATK Post-Employment Welfare Plans ”). Each Sporting Post-Employment Welfare Plan shall have terms and features that are substantially identical to the applicable ATK Post-Employment Welfare Plan such that (for the avoidance of doubt), each ATK Post-Employment Welfare Plan is substantially replicated by a corresponding Sporting Post-Employment Welfare Plan. Effective as of the Distribution Date, (x) the Sporting Post-Employment Welfare Plans shall assume and be responsible for all Liabilities that are accrued as of the Distribution Date under the ATK Post-Employment Welfare Plans with respect to Continuing Sporting Employees and Sporting Former Employees (or any eligible dependent or other covered beneficiary thereof) and (y) the ATK Post-Employment Welfare Plans shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for all Liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the ATK Employees and ATK Former Employees (or any eligible dependent or other covered beneficiary thereof), whether accrued before, on or after the Distribution Date.

(ii) All assets held in the ATK VEBA as of the Distribution Date, whether attributable to the contributions of ATK, any ATK Subsidiary, Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary and the earnings thereon shall be retained in the ATK VEBA. For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Distribution Date, there shall be no transfer of assets from the ATK VEBA to any corresponding voluntary employees’ beneficiary association under Code Section 501(c)(9) established by Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary (or from ATK or any ATK Subsidiary to Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary) and neither Sporting nor any Sporting Subsidiary shall be required to make any contribution to the ATK VEBA.

(j) Allocation of Employment and Employee Benefits-Related Liabilities.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.07 or in Section 8.27 or as required under applicable Law, (A) effective as of the Distribution Date, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall assume or retain, as the case may be, all Liability and responsibility for all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities incurred, or arising out of a period ending, prior to or on the Distribution Date that relate to the operation or conduct of the Sporting Business or the employment by ATK or the ATK Subsidiaries of any Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee and (B) ATK and the ATK Subsidiaries shall assume or retain, as the case may be, all Liability and responsibility for all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities relating to the operation or conduct of the ATK Business whether incurred, or arising out of a period ending, prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or the employment by ATK or the ATK Subsidiaries of any ATK Employee or ATK Former Employee. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.07 or in

Section 8.27 or as required under applicable Law, from and after the Distribution Date, Sporting and the Sporting Subsidiaries shall be liable for all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities incurred, or arising out of a period ending, after the Distribution Date that relate to the operation or conduct of the Sporting Business, the employment by Sporting or the Sporting Subsidiaries of any Continuing Sporting Employee or any Post-Distribution Sporting Benefit Plan.

(ii) The parties intend that Sporting Employees shall have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the consummation of the Transactions, and that for purposes of any severance or termination benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of ATK, Sporting or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Transactions shall not constitute a severance of employment of any ATK Employee or Sporting Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in Section 8.07(j)(i) to the contrary, in the event that any such severance of employment results solely from the consummation of the Transactions, each of ATK and Sporting shall bear, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the party that is required to pay any severance or unemployment compensation to the applicable ATK Employee or Sporting Employee against, half of any Liabilities in respect of such severance and unemployment compensation actually paid by such party.

(k) Employment Tax Reporting Responsibility. Sporting and ATK hereby agree to follow the alternate procedure for United States employment tax withholding as provided in Section 5 of Rev. Proc. 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320. Accordingly, ATK shall have no United States employment tax reporting responsibilities, and Sporting shall have full United States employment tax reporting responsibilities, for Sporting Employees subject to United States employment taxes following the Distribution Date.

(l) Administration. Following the date hereof, the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 8.07, including exchanging information and data relating to workers’ compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages (except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law) and obtaining any Governmental Approvals required hereunder.

(m) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 8.07 and Section 8.08 below are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (including with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 8.07 and Section 8.08 below) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.07 or Section 8.08 below shall amend, or be deemed to amend (or prevent the amendment or termination of), any

Employee Benefit Plan or any compensation or benefit plan of ATK, Sporting, Orbital or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 8.08. Post-Closing Terms and Conditions of Employment for ATK Employees and Orbital Employees. During the Continuation Period, and subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.08, ATK shall, or shall cause the applicable ATK Subsidiary, including Orbital and its Subsidiaries, to provide each employee of ATK or any of its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, employees of Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries) (collectively, “ Continuing Employees ”) compensation and employee benefits in a manner that neither favors nor disfavors such individual, in whole or in part, on the basis of whether such individual was an employee of ATK or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries on the other hand, immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided , however , that this Section 8.08 shall be deemed satisfied in the event ATK should for the Continuation Period, either (i) provide compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and employee benefits to which the Continuing Employees were entitled immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) provide compensation and employee benefits to the Continuing Employees employed by ATK or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Orbital and its Subsidiaries) at the same level as applies to similarly-situated individuals employed by Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) provide compensation and employee benefits to the Continuing Employees employed by Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time at the same level as applies to similarly-situated individuals employed by ATK or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Orbital and its Subsidiaries). Nothing herein shall limit the right of ATK or the employing ATK Subsidiary (including Orbital and its Subsidiaries) to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time or require ATK or the employing ATK Subsidiary (including Orbital and its Subsidiaries) to provide any such employee benefits, rates of base salary or hourly wages, or annual bonus opportunities for any period following any such termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all terms and conditions of employment with respect to any individual who is subject to a CBA shall be made in accordance with the terms of such CBA.

SECTION 8.09. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; Liability Insurance .

(b) ATK shall maintain in effect for each past or present director or officer of ATK, Orbital or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as well as each individual who prior to the Effective Time becomes a director or officer of ATK, Orbital or any of

their respective Subsidiaries, for a period of at least six years after the Effective Time, policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance of at least the same coverage and containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured, as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by ATK or Orbital, as applicable, with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions; provided , however , that with respect to past or present directors and officers of Orbital and its Subsidiaries (as well as any individuals who prior to the Effective Time became a director or officer of Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries), in no event shall ATK be required to pay aggregate premiums for insurance under this Section 8.09(b) in excess of 250% of the amount of the aggregate premiums paid by Orbital in 2013 on an annualized basis for such purchase as set forth in forth in Section 8.09(b) of the Orbital Disclosure Letter; provided that ATK shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for such 250% amount.

SECTION 8.10. Fees and Expenses . Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document (including pursuant to Section 1.03(a)(ix) hereof), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

SECTION 8.14. Covenants of Orbital Regarding Non-Solicitation . (a) Orbital agrees that from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article X, except as expressly permitted by this Section 8.14, Orbital shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives to, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) the submission of any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Orbital Acquisition Proposal, (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information in connection with, or for the purpose of, encouraging or facilitating an Orbital Acquisition Proposal or (C) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement constituting an Orbital Acquisition Proposal. Orbital shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to an Orbital Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Orbital Acquisition Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person in connection with a potential Orbital Acquisition Proposal and immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.14(a) by any Representative of Orbital or its Subsidiaries shall constitute a breach of this Section 8.14(a) by Orbital.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.14(a) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to obtaining the Orbital Stockholder Approval, Orbital or any of its Representatives receives an Orbital Acquisition Proposal, which Orbital Acquisition Proposal did not result from any breach of this Section 8.14, and the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Orbital Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an Orbital Superior Proposal, then Orbital and its Representatives may (x) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Person or group of Persons making the Orbital Acquisition Proposal and furnish pursuant to such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement information (including non-public information) with respect to Orbital and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Orbital Acquisition Proposal; provided that Orbital shall promptly provide to ATK any material non-public information concerning Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to

any Person given such access which was not previously provided to ATK or its Representatives and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Orbital Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Orbital shall promptly notify ATK in the event that Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives receives an Orbital Acquisition Proposal and, subject to applicable Law (including with respect to fiduciary duties), shall disclose to ATK the material terms and conditions of any such Orbital Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Orbital Acquisition Proposal, and Orbital shall, upon the request of ATK, keep ATK reasonably informed of any material developments with respect to any such Orbital Acquisition Proposal (including any material changes thereto).

(d) Neither the Board of Directors of Orbital nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withhold or withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to ATK), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to ATK), the recommendation by the Board of Directors of Orbital to the holders of Orbital Common Stock that they give the Orbital Stockholder Approval or (B) recommend the approval or adoption of, or approve or adopt, or publicly propose to recommend, approve or adopt, any Orbital Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof may make or cause Orbital to make a customary “stop, look and listen” communication and may elect to take no position with respect to an Orbital Acquisition Proposal until the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the commencement of such Orbital Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act without such action being considered an adverse modification) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “ Orbital Adverse Recommendation Change ”) or (ii) execute or enter into (or cause or permit Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into) any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement constituting an Orbital Acquisition Proposal, other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time Orbital Stockholder Approval is obtained, but not after, the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof may make an Orbital Adverse Recommendation Change if (x) the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action could be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) in the case of an Orbital Adverse Recommendation Change made in response to an Orbital Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Orbital Acquisition Proposal constitutes an Orbital Superior Proposal; provided , however , that the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause Orbital not to, make an Orbital Adverse Recommendation Change

in connection with an Orbital Superior Proposal unless (1) Orbital has given ATK at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the identity of the party making such Orbital Superior Proposal and the material terms thereof and shall attach the agreement and all material related documentation providing for such Orbital Superior Proposal), (2) Orbital has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with ATK during such notice period, to the extent ATK wishes to negotiate, to enable ATK to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents such that it would cause such Orbital Superior Proposal to no longer constitute an Orbital Superior Proposal, (3) following the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors of Orbital or any committee thereof shall have considered in good faith any such binding offer from ATK, and shall have determined that the Orbital Superior Proposal would continue to constitute an Orbital Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer were to be given effect and (4) in the event of any material change to the material terms of such Orbital Superior Proposal, Orbital shall, in each case, have delivered to ATK an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (1) above and the notice period shall have recommenced, except that the notice period shall be at least three Business Days (rather than the five Business Days otherwise contemplated by clause (1) above).

be expected to lead to an ATK Acquisition Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person in connection with a potential Orbital Acquisition Proposal and immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives.

ATK shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement with any Person that prohibits ATK from providing to Orbital any of the information required to be provided to Orbital under this Section 8.15 within the time periods contemplated hereby.

(d) Neither the Board of Directors of ATK nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withhold or withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Orbital), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Orbital), the recommendation by the Board of Directors of ATK to the holders of ATK Common Stock that they give the ATK Stockholder Approval or (B) recommend the approval or adoption of, or approve or adopt, or publicly propose to recommend, approve or adopt, any ATK Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that the Board of Directors of ATK or any committee thereof may make or cause ATK to make a customary “stop, look and

ATK and Sporting shall cooperate to obtain any necessary release of the Existing Sporting Guarantees issued by ATK or any ATK Subsidiary in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ATK and Sporting.

Without limiting in any way the parties’ obligations under Section 8.04, each of ATK and Orbital shall cooperate, shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to cooperate, in each case in the defense against such litigation. For purposes of this paragraph, “participate” means that the non-litigating party will be kept reasonably apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the litigation by the litigating party (to the extent the attorney-client privilege between the litigating party and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and the non-litigating party may offer comments or suggestions with respect to the litigation but will not be afforded any decision making power or other authority over the litigation except for the settlement consent set forth above.

SECTION 8.20. Sporting Financing Matters .

efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Sporting Commitment Letter until the Transactions are consummated, (ii) timely negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the facilities contemplated by the Sporting Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions set forth therein (or on terms that will not delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding with respect to the New Sporting Debt Financing less likely to occur), (iii) satisfy or cause to be waived on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Sporting and ATK set forth in the Sporting Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements that are within their control and otherwise comply with their obligations thereunder and (iv) upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the New Sporting Debt Financing, including by enforcing any and all rights available to ATK and Sporting to cause the New Sporting Debt Financing to be consummated, prior to, at the time of or immediately following the Distribution. ATK shall keep Orbital reasonably informed of material developments in respect of the New Sporting Debt Financing and the process relating thereto.

(b) Neither ATK nor Sporting shall amend, modify or waive, or agree to amend, modify or waive (in any case, whether by action or inaction), any term of the Sporting Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of Orbital if such amendment, modification or waiver (x) reduces the aggregate amount of the New Sporting Debt Financing (unless, in the case of this clause (x), such amount is fully replaced with an amount of new financing with conditionality no less favorable to Sporting in any material respect) or (y) amends the conditions precedent to the New Sporting Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the New Sporting Debt Financing less likely to occur ( provided , however, that Sporting and ATK may, without the consent of Orbital, amend or modify the Sporting Commitment Letter (x) in accordance with the “market flex” provisions thereof and (y) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other titled roles with respect to financial institutions that have not executed the Sporting Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ATK shall give Orbital reasonably prompt notice (x) of any material breach or material default by any party to the Sporting Commitment Letter or any of the definitive agreements related to the New Sporting Debt Financing which could reasonably be expected to result in ATK and Sporting not receiving financing in an aggregate amount (together with cash on hand) at least equal to the Sporting Dividend Amount under the Sporting Commitment Letter on or prior to the Distribution Date, (y) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any financing source with respect to any material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Sporting Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the New Sporting Debt Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Sporting Debt Financing or any definitive agreement with respect thereto), and (z) if at any time for any reason ATK believes in good faith that Sporting will not be able to obtain the New Sporting Debt Financing in an aggregate amount (together with cash on hand) at least equal to the Sporting Dividend Amount on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Sporting Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the New Sporting Debt Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date Orbital delivers ATK a written request, ATK shall provide information reasonably requested by Orbital relating to the circumstances

referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that in no event will ATK or Sporting be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney−client privilege.

(c) If the New Sporting Debt Financing in an aggregate amount (together with cash on hand) at least equal to the Sporting Dividend Amount becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sporting Commitment Letter, and such unavailable amount is reasonably required to fund the Sporting Dividend Amount, ATK and Sporting shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as reasonably practicable, alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount (together with cash on hand) sufficient to fund the Sporting Dividend Amount upon terms and conditions no less favorable (as determined in the good faith judgment of ATK), taken as a whole, to Sporting than the terms and conditions set forth in the Sporting Commitment Letter. ATK and Sporting shall as soon as reasonably practicable deliver to Orbital true and complete copies of all contracts (including any fee letters, which may be redacted as required by the lenders thereto) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the New Sporting Debt Financing. In the event ATK and/or Sporting obtain alternative financing, the term “ New Sporting Debt Financing ” as used herein shall be deemed to mean such alternative financing from and after the time such alternative financing is obtained.

SECTION 8.21. ATK and Orbital Financing Matters; Debt Financing Cooperation . (a) Prior to the Closing, ATK shall either (i) commence and complete an offer (the “ Tender Offer ”) to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “ 2020 Notes ”) and, unless a consent with respect to the Distribution has already been obtained, solicit consents (the “ Consent Solicitation ”) from holders of the 2020 Notes to amend the indenture governing the 2020 Notes to, among other things, modify or eliminate substantially all of the negative covenants and events of default set forth therein, on terms and conditions as may be determined by ATK following consultation with Orbital and reasonable consideration of any input provided by Orbital with respect thereto, or (ii) on or prior to the Closing, issue a notice of redemption of all of the outstanding 2020 Notes and either complete such redemption or irrevocably deposit with the trustee for the 2020 Notes funds in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding 2020 Notes on the redemption date, in each case in accordance with the redemption provisions of the indenture governing the 2020 Notes.

(b) If ATK elects to launch the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation as described in Section 8.21(a)(i) but less than all of the outstanding 2020 Notes are tendered in the Tender Offer, then ATK shall, on or prior to the Closing, issue a notice of redemption for all outstanding 2020 Notes and either complete such redemption or irrevocably deposit with the trustee for the 2020 Notes funds in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding 2020 Notes on the redemption date, in each case in accordance with the redemption provisions of the indenture governing the 2020 Notes.

(c) On or prior to the Closing, ATK shall issue a notice of redemption of all of the outstanding 2024 Notes and complete such redemption in accordance with the redemption provisions of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes.

Orbital obtained by ATK pursuant to this Section 8.21(d) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, and Orbital shall only be required to furnish such information to any prospective lenders or other proposed financing sources, underwriters, placement agents, initial purchasers or other third parties who have agreed to keep such information confidential; and provided further that nothing in this Agreement shall require any cooperation to the extent it would (1) require Orbital, its Subsidiaries or the Board of Directors of Orbital or its Subsidiaries to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment, financing or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing Date; (2) require any officer of Orbital or its Subsidiaries to execute or deliver any document or certificate in connection with the New ATK Debt Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than customary documents or certificates solely relating to Orbital or its Subsidiaries including the authorization letter and representation referred to in Section 8.21(d)(iv)); (3) unreasonably or materially interfere with the ongoing business or operations of Orbital and its Subsidiaries; (4) require Orbital or its Subsidiaries to take any action that would conflict with or violate any applicable Laws or any provisions of the organizational documents of Orbital or its Subsidiaries, or that would result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Orbital Material Contract in effect as of the date of any such request or (5) result in any officer or director of Orbital or its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability in connection with the New ATK Debt Financing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no obligation of Orbital or its Subsidiaries under any certificate, document or instrument shall be effective until the Closing and Orbital and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any action under any certificate, document or instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than, in each case, customary documents or certificates solely relating to Orbital or its Subsidiaries including the authorization letter and management representation referred to in Section 8.21(d)(iv)).

(e) Orbital shall arrange for customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at Closing providing for the payoff,

discharge and termination on the Closing Date of the Existing Orbital Facility, all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Existing Orbital Facility and all guarantees and security interests granted by Orbital or any of its Subsidiaries under the Existing Orbital Facility.

SECTION 8.22. ATK Charter; Governance Matters .

The parties acknowledge and agree that under the DGCL as in effect as of the date of the Agreement, implementing the ATK Charter Amendment would require either (1) the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of ATK Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at a duly called meeting of stockholders or (2) ATK to merge with a wholly-owned Subsidiary, with ATK surviving the merger and amending its certificate of incorporation in connection therewith in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL. In the event the legislation submitted to the Corporate Law Section of the Delaware State Bar Association proposing to amend the DGCL to eliminate the requirement under Section 242 of the DGCL that a corporation’s stockholders approve any amendment to the corporation’s certificate of incorporation to change its name has not been adopted or is not effective prior to the date on which the definitive Joint Proxy Statement is ready to be mailed to ATK’s stockholders, then ATK shall determine, in consultation with Orbital, whether to (x) submit the ATK Charter Amendment to ATK’s stockholders for approval at the ATK Stockholder Meeting or (y) implement the ATK Charter Amendment through a merger under Section 253 of the DGCL as contemplated by the immediately prior sentence (it being understood that in no event shall any such ATK Charter Amendment be effective prior to the Effective Time).

(2) FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK PSUs held by Continuing Sporting Employees or Sporting Former Employees. Each ATK PSU that is not an FY13-15 ATK PSU (each, a “ FY14-

106

16 or FY15-17 ATK PSU ”) held by an Other PSU Holder who is a Continuing Sporting Employee or Sporting Former Employee shall, as of the Distribution, be canceled in exchange solely for a grant of Sporting RSUs by Sporting, with respect to the number of shares of Sporting Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of ATK Common Stock subject to such FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK PSU (which number shall be determined based on the applicable PSU Performance Level) by the Sporting Ratio.

(3) FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK PSUs held by ATK Employees or ATK Former Employees. Each outstanding FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK PSU held by an Other PSU Holder who becomes or remains, as the case may be, an ATK Employee or an ATK Former Employee shall, as of the Distribution, be adjusted into a time-vesting restricted share unit that covers the number of shares of ATK Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of ATK Common Stock subject to such FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK PSU (which number shall be determined by the applicable PSU Performance Level) by the ATK Ratio (each, an “ Adjusted FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK RSU ”). Such Adjusted FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK RSUs shall have the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the corresponding FY14-16 or FY15-17 ATK PSUs (except that such award shall not be subject to any performance-based vesting conditions or requirements and except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.27 of the ATK Disclosure Letter).

(C) Vesting of Sporting RSUs. Except as set forth in this Section 8.27(a)(iii) or in Section 8.27 of the ATK Disclosure Letter, Sporting RSUs shall be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the ATK PSUs to which they relate, provided that the vesting criteria applicable to such Sporting RSUs shall be adjusted to provide for solely service-based vesting.

(iv) ATK Deferred Stock Units; ATK Phantom Stock Units. The account balance of each participant in an ATK Deferred Stock Unit Plan shall be credited, as of the time of the Distribution, with respect to each deferred stock unit or phantom stock unit payable in shares of ATK Common Stock or whose value is determined with reference to the value of shares of ATK Common Stock held by such participant (each such award, an “ ATK DSU ”), with a deferred stock unit or phantom stock unit, as the case may be, with respect to such number of shares of Sporting Common Stock (each, a “ Sporting DSU ”) as determined by applying the Distribution Ratio in the same way as if the outstanding ATK DSU were comprised of fully vested shares of ATK Common Stock as of the Distribution Date. Obligations in respect of ATK DSUs and Sporting DSUs shall, taking into

107

account the provisions of Section 8.07(h) of this Agreement, be payable or distributable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such ATK DSUs and Sporting DSUs and, prior to the time of distribution, such amounts shall be permitted to be deemed invested in an investment option under the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement.

(b) Miscellaneous Award Terms. After the Distribution Date, Adjusted ATK Awards, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by ATK, and Sporting Awards, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by Sporting. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to grants adjusted pursuant to this Section 8.27, (i) employment or service with ATK or any ATK Subsidiary shall be treated as employment or service with Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary with respect to Sporting Awards held by ATK Employees, and (ii) employment or service with Sporting or any Sporting Subsidiary shall be treated as employment or service with ATK or any ATK Subsidiary with respect to Adjusted ATK Awards held by Continuing Sporting Employees. In addition, none of the Sporting Transfers, the Distribution, or any Transition Period Employment Transfer shall constitute a termination of employment or separation from service for purposes of any Adjusted ATK Award or any Sporting Award. Following the Distribution Date, for any award adjusted under this Section 8.27, any reference to a “change in control”, “change of control” or similar definition in an award agreement, employment agreement, severance plan or ATK Stock Plan applicable to such award (A) with respect to Adjusted ATK Awards, shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control”, “change of control” or similar definition as set forth in the applicable award agreement, employment agreement, severance plan or ATK Stock Plan (an “ ATK Change of Control ”), and (B) with respect to Sporting Awards, shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control”, “change of control” or similar definition as set forth in the applicable Sporting award agreement, employment agreement or stock plan (a “ Sporting Change of Control ”); provided , however , that with respect to provisions related to vesting of awards, an ATK Change of Control shall be treated as a Sporting Change of Control for purposes of Sporting Awards held by ATK Employees (and, for the avoidance of doubt, an ATK Change of Control shall not be treated as a Sporting Change of Control for purposes of Sporting Awards held by Continuing Sporting Employees), and a Sporting Change of Control shall be treated as an ATK Change of Control for purposes of Adjusted ATK Awards held by Continuing Sporting Employees (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Sporting Change of Control shall not be treated as an ATK Change of Control for purposes of Adjusted ATK Awards held by ATK Employees). After the Distribution Date, ATK and Sporting shall mutually cooperate to provide each party with information on the employment and termination of employment of each person who holds an Adjusted ATK Award or a Sporting Award. After the Distribution Date, Sporting shall not take any action to cause the accelerated vesting of any Adjusted ATK Awards other than such non-discretionary (other than with respect to any discretion involved in terminating an individual’s employment or service) accelerated vesting that is explicitly set forth in the applicable award agreement or any plan, program, policy or other arrangement in existence on the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to awards granted not in contravention of Section 7.02(b) after the date of this Agreement, at the time of grant) governing the treatment of ATK Awards (including upon termination of employment) and ATK shall

108

not take any action to cause the accelerated vesting of any Sporting Award other than such non-discretionary (other than with respect to any discretion involved in terminating an individual’s employment or service) accelerated vesting that is explicitly set forth in the applicable award agreement or any plan, program, policy or other arrangement in existence on the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to awards granted after the date of this Agreement not in contravention of Section 7.02(b), at the time of grant) governing the treatment of Sporting Awards (including upon termination of employment).

(c) Sporting shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Sporting Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or settlement of the Sporting Awards in accordance with this Section 8.27(a). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution, Sporting shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or, to the extent applicable, other appropriate form) with respect to the Sporting Common Stock subject to Sporting Awards and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Sporting Awards remain outstanding.

(d) If Sporting or ATK determines in its reasonable judgment that any action required under Sections 8.27(a) or (b) will not achieve the intended tax, accounting and legal results, including the intended results under Code Section 409A or FASB ASC Topic 718 – Stock Compensation, then at the request of Sporting or ATK, as applicable, Sporting and ATK shall mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to achieve such results, or most nearly achieve such results if the originally intended results are not fully attainable.

(e) Tax Treatment.

(i) Except as provided in this Section 8.27(e), any Equity Compensation Deduction arising after the Distribution Date shall be claimed (A) solely by the party hereto (or the appropriate Subsidiary of such party, or the successor of either) that employs the individual with respect to whom such Equity Compensation Deduction arises at the time that it arises or (B) if such individual is not then employed by any party hereto or a Subsidiary of any party hereto, then by (x) ATK or its appropriate Subsidiary if the individual is an ATK Former Employee or (y) Sporting or its appropriate Subsidiary if the individual is a Sporting Former Employee.

(ii) If any taxing authority asserts that any Equity Compensation Deduction claimed by a Claiming Party should have been claimed instead by any Other Party, then the Claiming Party shall notify the Other Party of such assertion, and the Other Party shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to claim such Equity Compensation Deduction (including, if necessary, filing an amended Tax Return and otherwise preventing the applicable statute of limitations from expiring).

109

(iii) If any Other Party successfully claims any Equity Compensation Deduction (including as a result of a Determination), it shall promptly (but in no event later than 20 Business Days after the Determination) pay to the Claiming Party an amount equal to the economic benefit of such Equity Compensation Deduction (calculated on a “with and without” basis).

SECTION 8.28. Closing Reconciliation .

(a) Estimated Adjusted Cash Flow Amount .

(i) No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing, ATK shall deliver to Orbital a statement (the “ Statement ”) setting forth reasonably detailed calculations of ATK’s good faith estimate of the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount (the “ Estimated Adjusted Cash Flow Amount ”) calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the applicable definitions set forth herein and Section 12.03(a) of the ATK Disclosure Letter). ATK shall accompany the Statement with the March 31 Reference Balance Sheet and other reasonably detailed back-up information utilized by ATK in preparing the Statement and the Estimated Adjusted Cash Flow Amount (it being understood that any inability of ATK to respond to any requests from Orbital for further back-up information prior to the Closing shall not provide any basis to delay the Closing in light of the procedures to calculate the actual Adjusted Cash Flow Amount following the Closing as provided below).

(ii) No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing, ATK shall notify Orbital in writing of the amount of the ATK Estimated Tax Payment.

(b) Determination of the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount .

(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, ATK shall prepare and deliver to Sporting each of (1) the Interim Period Cash Flow Statement and (2) a reasonably detailed calculation of the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount and the corresponding Retained Cash Amount calculated on the basis thereof (which calculations shall collectively be referred to herein as the “ Proposed Closing Date Calculations ”).

(ii) Sporting shall have 45 days following receipt of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations to review the Interim Period Cash Flow Statement and the corresponding Proposed Closing Date Calculations (the “ Review Period ”). Sporting may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, give to ATK written notice of dispute (“ Cash Flow Dispute Notice ”), which shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts in ATK’s preparation of the Interim Cash Flow Statement or the Proposed Closing Date Calculations as to which Sporting disagrees (the “ Disputed Items ”) and the basis for such disagreement. Prior to the end of the Review Period, Sporting may accept the Proposed Closing Date Calculations by delivering written notice to that effect to ATK, in which case the Proposed Closing Date Calculations (and corresponding Adjusted Cash Flow Amount and Retained Cash Amount calculated on the

110

basis thereof) will become conclusive and binding when such notice is given. Unless Sporting delivers a Cash Flow Dispute Notice to ATK prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Sporting will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Proposed Closing Date Calculations (and corresponding Adjusted Cash Flow Amount and Retained Cash Amount calculated on the basis thereof) and such amounts shall become conclusive and binding on ATK and Sporting. ATK or Sporting, as the case may be, shall within five (5) Business Days of the date of the expiration of the Review Period make the adjustment payment required by Section 8.28(c) with respect to such undisputed items. If Sporting gives a Cash Flow Dispute Notice to ATK on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, ATK and Sporting shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Disputed Items set forth in the Cash Flow Dispute Notice in good faith during the 30-day period commencing on the date ATK receives the applicable Cash Flow Dispute Notice from Sporting. If Sporting and ATK do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to the Disputed Items set forth in the Cash Flow Dispute Notice within such 30-day period, then the remaining Disputed Items shall be submitted immediately by ATK and Sporting to an independent accounting firm of national reputation mutually acceptable to ATK and Sporting (the “ Accounting Firm ”). The Accounting Firm shall be requested to render a written determination of the Disputed Items (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) within 45 days after referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor and must be based solely on the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Disputed Items, on a single presentation submitted by each of ATK and Sporting and on one written response to each such presentation so submitted. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between Sporting and ATK, and any associated engagement fees shall initially be borne 50% by Sporting and 50% by ATK; provided that such fees shall ultimately be allocated between ATK and Sporting so that Sporting’s share of such fees shall be in the same proportion that the aggregate amount that is unsuccessfully disputed by Sporting bears to the total amount disputed by Sporting at the time the Disputed Items were first submitted to the Accounting Firm. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. In resolving the Disputed Items, the Accounting Firm shall resolve each Disputed Item by choosing an amount which is either equal to or in between the amount for each Disputed Item set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations and the amount for each Disputed Item set forth in the Cash Flow Dispute Notice. Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or manifest error. The Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 8.28(b), and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Adjusted Cash Flow Amount (and the related Retained Cash Amount) resulting therefrom (which shall be equal to the Estimated Retained Cash Amount as adjusted solely to give effect to any differences between Estimated Adjusted Cash Flow Amount and Adjusted Cash Flow Amount (in each case fully determined in accordance with this Section 8.28), in each case, for all purposes hereunder.

111

(iii) Each of ATK and Sporting shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, make their respective financial records and personnel available to the other Party and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times at any time during ATK’s preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations or the review by Sporting of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, as applicable, as well as during the resolution of any Disputed Items.

(iv) ATK and Sporting agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 8.28 for resolving disputes with respect to the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any Disputed Items; provided that this provision shall not prohibit either party from instituting litigation to enforce any final determination of the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount and Retained Cash Amount resulting therefrom by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 8.28(b)(ii) in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 12.11. The substance of the Accounting Firm’s determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud or manifest error. It is the intent of the Parties to have any final determination of the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount and Retained Cash Amount resulting therefrom by the Accounting Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; however, any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by the written agreement of the parties and the parties agree that the failure of the Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Firm which otherwise conforms to the terms of this Section 8.28(b).

(i) If the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Cash Flow Amount, Sporting shall pay to ATK an amount equal to such difference by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds, in each case, within three Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount is determined pursuant to this Section 8.28.

(ii) If the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount is less than the Estimated Adjusted Cash Flow Amount, ATK shall pay to Sporting an amount equal to such difference by wire transfer or delivery of immediately available funds, in each case, within three Business Days after the date on which the Adjusted Cash Flow Amount is determined pursuant to this Section 8.28.

SECTION 8.29. Supply Agreement; Transition Services Agreement.

(a) Following the date of this Agreement, the parties will negotiate in good faith to finalize the terms of the Supply Agreement (which agreement shall be finalized as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Distribution Date).

(b) Following the date of this Agreement, the parties will negotiate in good faith to finalize the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, including the nature and scope of the specific services to be provided to Sporting under the Transition

112

Services Agreement (which agreement shall be finalized as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Distribution Date). The services to be covered by the Transition Services Agreement will include those categories of services previously identified by ATK to Orbital and reasonably agreed by the parties, but in any event shall provide Sporting with those corporate and administrative services currently provided to the Sporting Business by ATK and its Subsidiaries and necessary for Sporting to operate on a stand-alone basis following the Distribution Date.

From and after the Distribution Date, ATK shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sporting, each Sporting Subsidiary and each of their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “ Sporting Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages (including, in the case of Third Party Claims, any exemplary or punitive damages whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Law or otherwise) or expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following:

(a) any Excluded Liability; and

(b) any breach of any covenant of ATK, Orbital or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement that survives the Effective Time pursuant to Section 12.01.

SECTION 11.03. Indemnification by Sporting .

(a) any Sporting Liability; and

(b) any breach of any covenant of Sporting contained in this Agreement that survives the Effective Time pursuant to Section 12.01.

SECTION 11.04. Indemnification Procedures . (a) Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Third Party Claims. If any party (the “ Indemnified Party ”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Action or the assertion of any claim by a

121

third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment, or is otherwise subject to any Action, including any Action in existence on the Closing Date, in each case for which indemnity may be sought under Section 11.02 or 11.03 (a “ Third Party Claim ”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall actively pursue such defense in good faith, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (except as contemplated by the following sentence) and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for (x) relief other than money damages or (y) money damages if the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing that it shall be responsible for such money damages, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably agree that a conflict of interest exists in respect of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party in the defense of the Third Party Claim, and the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief other than monetary damages against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for monetary damages. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims and shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties shall also keep each other reasonably informed with respect to any Third Party Claim, cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was

122

consented to by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(b) Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing promptly of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim giving rise to the claim of indemnity pursuant hereto. The failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of any such notice to give notice of dispute of the claim to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

SECTION 11.05. Indemnification as Sole and Exclusive Remedy . Subject to Section 11.07(a), ATK, Orbital, Merger Sub and Sporting acknowledge and agree that, following the consummation of the Distribution, ATK’s, Orbital’s, Merger Sub’s and Sporting’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to Article I or II, the Sporting Business, the Sporting Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Sporting Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities, the Sporting Transfers or the Distribution shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI, ATK, Orbital, Merger Sub and Sporting hereby waive, from and after the Distribution Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action ATK or any other ATK Indemnitee, on the one hand, and Sporting or any other Sporting Indemnitee, on the other hand, may have against Sporting or any of its Affiliates or, respectively, ATK or any of its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives, in each case arising under or based upon any Law or otherwise (including with respect to environmental matters generally and any matters under Environmental Laws). This Section 11.05 will not apply to any breach following the Distribution Date of any other Section of this Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement or the Supply Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 11.05 will not apply to specific performance and equitable relief as provided in Section 12.10.

SECTION 11.06. Calculation of Indemnity Payments . (a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article XI shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss.

(b) An Indemnifying Party is authorized, in connection with payment of any Loss for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Party under this Article XI, to set off and apply any and all payments due to such Indemnifying Party

123

under this Article XI against any of and all of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party under this Article XI. The rights of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 11.06(b) are in addition (but without duplication) to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Indemnifying Party may have.

SECTION 11.07. Additional Matters . (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, indemnification for Tax matters shall be governed by the terms, provisions and procedures of the Tax Matters Agreement and not by this Article XI.

(b) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for special, punitive, exemplary, incidental, consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Law or otherwise, except to the extent that such damages are actually payable by the Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

(c) The indemnity agreement in this Article XI shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any (a) investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party and (b) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of any Losses for which it may be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
