liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under Raytheon’s existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time
(including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions or actions contemplated by this Agreement), and UTC shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be
honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder;
provided
that Raytheon shall not pay, and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay, in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by Raytheon prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of such “tail” policy. If Raytheon or the
Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies prior to, as of or after the Effective Time, UTC shall, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in
effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Raytheon with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time;
provided
that, after the Effective Time, UTC shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by Raytheon prior to the date of this Agreement

Efforts
. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause
each of the External Separation Transactions, the Merger and the Specified Internal Restructuring Transactions to qualify for its Intended Tax-Free Treatment and (ii) not knowingly take any action, cause or
permit any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could
reasonably be expected to prevent the External Separation Transactions, the Merger or any Specified Internal Restructuring Transaction from qualifying for its Intended Tax-Free Treatment.
(b)
External Spin-Off Tax Opinion
. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, Raytheon shall cooperate with UTC, and UTC and
Raytheon shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to facilitate receipt by UTC of the External Spin-Off Tax Opinion from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (or other nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to UTC and
Raytheon) (“
UTC Tax Counsel
”). Such opinion shall be issued on the basis of customary representations, assumptions (including the accuracy of the
IRS Ruling Request, as amended or supplemented through the date of such opinion, and the accuracy and continuing validity of the IRS Ruling) and undertakings set forth or referred to in such opinion and in the related External Spin-Off Tax
Representation Letters. UTC shall (and shall cause Otis SpinCo and Carrier SpinCo to) deliver to UTC Tax Counsel for purposes of the External Spin-Off Tax Opinion customary representations, assumptions and undertakings, reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to UTC Tax Counsel (the “
External Spin-Off Tax Representation Letters
”). UTC will promptly notify Raytheon if, before the
Effective Time, it knows or has reason to believe that UTC is no longer able to obtain the External Spin-Off Tax Opinion or if the terms of this Agreement (including the Separation Principles) would need to be amended in order to facilitate
receipt of such opinion.
(c)
IRS Ruling
. UTC has submitted to the IRS the IRS Ruling Request, and UTC shall prepare and submit to the IRS supplemental materials relating thereto
that UTC determines (after giving Raytheon the opportunity to consult thereon and considering any Raytheon comments) are necessary or appropriate to obtain the requested rulings under the IRS Ruling Request or any additional rulings from the IRS,
including additional rulings regarding Section 355, if any, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, an “
IRS Submission
”).
From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, each party hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate receipt by UTC of the IRS Ruling, including providing such appropriate information as the IRS shall
require in connection with the IRS Ruling Request or any IRS Submission. In connection with the IRS Ruling Request, UTC shall (i) keep Raytheon informed of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by UTC or the IRS, (ii) reasonably in
advance of any material IRS Submission, provide Raytheon with a reasonable opportunity to review, discuss and comment on each such IRS Submission, and consider in good faith Raytheon’s comments on such draft to the extent such comments are timely
provided, (iii) provide Raytheon with copies of any material written communications received from the IRS with respect to the IRS Ruling Request, including with respect to any IRS Submission and (iv) keep Raytheon promptly and reasonably informed
concerning any material communications (however conducted) with the IRS concerning the IRS Ruling Request or any IRS Submission. If the IRS notifies UTC that it will not issue the IRS Ruling (or will not issue any ruling requested in the IRS
Ruling Request or an IRS Submission (other than any Internal Restructuring Tax Opinions/Rulings)), then, during the ensuing thirty (30)-day period, the parties will collaborate in good faith to identify possible alternatives (including
alternative structures and seeking additional Tax opinions) that the parties determine, with the assistance of their respective tax advisors, will either make likely the receipt of the IRS Ruling (or such ruling) or eliminate the necessity for a
ruling, in either case, without (A)
materially affecting the value of the transactions contemplated hereby to UTC or Raytheon, (B) substantially increasing the regulatory
or other consents or approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Separation Documentation, or (C) otherwise resulting in any substantial impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
by the Separation Documentation;
provided
, that the parties shall not be required to effectuate any alternative structures or transactions or seek
any additional Tax opinions pursuant to this sentence in the event that such failure by the IRS to issue such ruling or rulings would not reasonably be expected to result in tax liabilities of UTC RemainCo in excess of $400,000,000 in the
aggregate (taking into account all rulings not issued by the IRS). In the event that the parties agree to effectuate such an alternative, they shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, modify the covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement and/or the Separation Documentation to the extent necessary to reflect such alternative. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent necessary to reflect any such alternative, UTC shall submit one or more IRS Submissions to modify
the IRS Ruling Request.
(d)
Merger Tax Opinions
. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, Raytheon, on the one hand, and UTC, on the other hand,
shall cooperate with each other and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, a written opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP (or other nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to Raytheon and UTC) (“
Raytheon Tax Counsel
”), in the case of Raytheon, and a written opinion of UTC Tax Counsel, in the case of UTC, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Raytheon and UTC, respectively (each such opinion, a “
Merger Tax Opinion
”), dated as of the Closing Date, (A) to the effect that,
on the basis of customary representations, assumptions (including the accuracy of the IRS Ruling Request, as it may be amended or supplemented through the date of such opinion, and the accuracy and continuing validity of the IRS Ruling) and
undertakings set forth or referred to in such opinion and in the related Merger Tax Representation Letters, (i) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) the Merger will not cause
Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to either Distribution, and (B) addressing any supplemental matter reasonably requested by both Raytheon and UTC to be included in such opinion. Each of Raytheon, UTC, and Merger Sub shall deliver to Raytheon
Tax Counsel and UTC Tax Counsel for purposes of the Merger Tax Opinions customary representations, assumptions and undertakings, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Raytheon Tax Counsel and UTC Tax Counsel (the “
Merger Tax Representation Letters
”). In rendering the Merger Tax Opinion, UTC Tax Counsel and Raytheon Tax Counsel may assume that the External
Separation Transactions qualified for their Intended Tax-Free Treatment and would continue to so qualify if the Merger did not occur. Raytheon will promptly notify UTC if, before the Effective Time, (A) it knows or has reason to believe that
Raytheon is no longer able to obtain the Merger Tax Opinion from Raytheon Tax Counsel, or (B) the terms of this Agreement (including the Separation Principles) would need to be amended in order to facilitate receipt of such opinion. UTC will
promptly notify Raytheon if, before the Effective Time, (A) it knows or has reason to believe that UTC is no longer able to obtain the Merger Tax Opinion from UTC Tax Counsel, including as a result of the failure of any UTC Common Stock to be
Qualified UTC Common Stock, or (B) the terms of this Agreement (including the Separation Principles) would need to be amended in order to facilitate receipt of such opinion.
(e)
Internal Restructuring Transactions
. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, Raytheon shall cooperate with UTC, and
UTC and Raytheon shall use their respective reasonable best efforts, to facilitate receipt by UTC of the Internal Restructuring Tax Opinions/Rulings. If any of the Internal Restructuring Tax Opinions/Rulings are not timely obtained, then
notwithstanding anything herein or in the Separation Principles to the contrary, the Step Plan may be altered by UTC in a manner that is reasonably consistent with the overall tax planning for the Separation and the Distributions;
provided
, that, no such modification or modifications that would reasonably be expected to result in incremental costs to UTC RemainCo in excess of
$500,000,000 in the aggregate may be made without Raytheon’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 6.9.
Takeover Statutes
. If any antitakeover or similar statute or regulation is or may become applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each
of the parties hereto and its respective Board of Directors shall
(a) grant such approvals and take all such actions as are legally permissible so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be
consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and (b) otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

the Effective Time (collectively, the “
New Benefit Plans
”), which New Benefit Plans will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and among
other things, (i) treat similarly situated employees on a substantially equivalent basis, taking into account all relevant factors, including duties, geographic location, tenure, qualifications and abilities, and (ii) not discriminate between
employees who were covered by UTC RemainCo Benefit Plans, on the one hand, and those covered by Raytheon Benefit Plans, on the other hand, at the Effective Time.
(b)
For
purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and benefit accrual (except (i) for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan, (ii) to the extent that such credit would result in a duplication of benefits, or (iii) under
any plan that is grandfathered or frozen) under the UTC RemainCo Benefit Plans, Raytheon Benefit Plans and the New Benefit Plans, service with or credited by UTC RemainCo, Raytheon or any of their respective subsidiaries or predecessors for
continuing employees of Raytheon and its subsidiaries
or continuing employees of UTC RemainCo or its subsidiaries shall be treated as service with UTC RemainCo to the same extent that such
service was taken into account under the analogous Raytheon Benefit Plan or UTC RemainCo Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time. With respect to any Raytheon Benefit Plan, UTC RemainCo Benefit Plan or New Benefit Plan in which any employees of
UTC RemainCo or Raytheon (or their subsidiaries) prior to the Effective Time first become eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, and in which such employees did not participate prior to the Effective Time, UTC RemainCo shall:
(i) waive all preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents, except to the extent such pre-existing conditions, exclusions
or waiting periods would apply under the analogous UTC RemainCo Benefit Plan or Raytheon Benefit Plan, as the case may be, and (ii) provide each such employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid
prior to the Effective Time (or, if later, prior to the time such employee commenced participation in the New Benefit Plan) under a UTC RemainCo Benefit Plan or Raytheon Benefit Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under the
analogous Raytheon or UTC RemainCo Benefit Plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Raytheon Benefit Plan, UTC RemainCo Benefit Plan or New Benefit Plan in which such employee first become eligible to
participate after the Effective Time.

subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Corporation, Raytheon, UTC or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer,

Section 9.10.
Specific Enforcement
. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were
not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in
Section 9.11
, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this
being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in
equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is
unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.
Section 9.11.
Jurisdiction
. In any action between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the
parties
(a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware,
(b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for
leave from such court and
(c) agrees that it will not bring any such action in any court other than the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware in
and for New Castle County, Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, or, if (and only if) each of
such Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware and such federal court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court within the State of Delaware. Service of process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the
manner set forth in
Section 9.2
shall be effective
service of process for any such action.
Section 9.12.

Section 9.13.
Severability
. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all
other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
any party or such party waives its rights under this
Section 9.13
with respect thereto. Upon a
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
