FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. derives all of its operating income and cash flows from its wholly-owned subsidiary, L-3 Communications Corporation (L-3 Communications). L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (L-3 Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, referred to herein as L-3 or the Company) is a prime contractor in Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C 3 ISR) systems, aircraft modernization and maintenance, and national security solutions. L-3 is also a leading provider of a broad range of electronic systems used on military and commercial platforms. The Companys customers include the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD) and its prime contractors, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of State (DoS), allied foreign governments, and domestic and foreign commercial customers.
On July 17, 2012, L-3 completed the spin-off of its subsidiary, Engility Holdings, Inc. (Engility) to L-3s shareholders. The spin-off was a tax-free distribution to L-3 shareholders for U.S. federal tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares. L-3 shareholders of record on July 16, 2012 (the record date) received one share of Engility common stock for every six shares of L-3 common stock held on the record date. Engility began trading as an independent publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange on July 18, 2012.
Engility included the systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), training and operational support services businesses that were part of L-3s Government Services segment. L-3 retained the cyber security, intelligence, enterprise information technology (IT) and security solutions businesses that were also part of L-3s Government Services segment, which was renamed National Security Solutions (NSS). The NSS businesses develop unique solutions to address growing challenges for DoD, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, and global security customers. As a result of the spin-off, the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, results of operations and cash flows of the Engility businesses have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4 for additional information.
The Company has the following four reportable segments: (1) Electronic Systems, (2) C 3 ISR, (3) Aircraft Modernization and Maintenance (AM&M), and (4) NSS. Financial information with respect to each of the Companys segments is included in Note 20. Electronic Systems provides a broad range of products and services, including components, products, subsystems and systems and related services to military and commercial customers in several niche markets across several business areas, including microwave, power & control systems, integrated sensor systems, aviation products, simulation & training, warrior systems, precision engagement, security & detection, space & propulsion, undersea warfare and marine services. C 3 ISR provides products and services for the global ISR market, C 3 systems, networked communications systems and secure communications products. The Company believes that these products and services are critical elements for a substantial number of major command, control and communication, intelligence gathering and space systems. These products and services are used to connect a variety of airborne, space, ground and sea-based communication systems and are used in the transmission, processing, recording, monitoring, and dissemination functions of these communication systems. AM&M provides modernization, upgrades and sustainment, maintenance and logistics support services for military and various government aircraft and other platforms. The Company sells these services primarily to the DoD, the Canadian Department of Defense and other allied foreign governments. NSS provides a full range of cyber security, intelligence, enterprise information technology (IT) and security solutions services to the DoD, DoS, U.S. Government intelligence agencies and global security customers.

2. Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2012 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications included in their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Principles of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications. L-3 Holdings only asset is its investment in the common stock of L-3 Communications, its wholly-owned subsidiary, and its only obligations are: (1) the 3% Convertible Contingent Debt Securities (CODES) due 2035, which were issued by L-3 Holdings on July 29, 2005, (2) its guarantee of borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility of L-3 Communications and (3) its guarantee of other contractual obligations of L-3 Communications and its subsidiaries. L-3 Holdings obligations relating to the CODES have been jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by L-3 Communications and certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Accordingly, such debt has been reflected as debt of L-3 Communications in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards for pushdown accounting. All issuances of and conversions into L-3 Holdings equity securities, including grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units by L-3 Holdings to employees and directors of L-3 Communications and its subsidiaries, have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of L-3 Communications. As a result, the consolidated financial positions, results of operations and cash flows of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications are substantially the same. See Note 22 for additional information regarding the unaudited financial information of L-3 Communications and its subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of annual audited financial statements. The December 31, 2011 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
It is the Companys established practice to close its books for the quarters ending March, June and September on the Friday nearest to the end of the calendar quarter. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared and are labeled based on that convention. The Company closes its books for annual periods on December 31 regardless of what day it falls on.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and costs of sales during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions relate to contract revenue, profit and loss recognition, fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, market values for inventories reported at lower of cost or market, pension and post-retirement benefit obligations, stock-based employee compensation expense, income taxes, including the valuations of deferred tax assets, litigation reserves and environmental obligations, accrued product warranty costs, and the recoverability, useful

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
lives and valuation of recorded amounts of long-lived assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Changes in estimates are reflected in the periods during which they become known. Actual amounts will differ from these estimates and could differ materially.
Sales and profits on contracts that are covered by accounting standards for construction-type and production-type contracts and federal government contractors are recognized using percentage-of-completion (POC) methods of accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2011, sales on such contracts represented approximately 45% of our consolidated net sales, including approximately 35% from fixed-price type contracts and 10% from cost-plus type contracts. For contracts accounted for under contract accounting standards, sales and profits are recognized based on: (1) a POC method of accounting (fixed-price contracts), (2) allowable costs incurred plus the estimated profit on those costs (cost-plus contracts), or (3) direct labor hours expended multiplied by the contractual fixed rate per hour plus incurred costs for material (time-and-material contracts). Sales and profits on fixed-price production contracts under which units are produced and delivered in a continuous or sequential process are recorded as units are delivered based on their contractual selling prices (the units-of-delivery method). Sales and profits on each fixed-price production contract under which units are not produced and delivered in a continuous or sequential process, or under which a relatively few number of units are produced, are recorded based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion of the contract multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative sales recognized in prior periods (the cost-to-cost method). Under both POC methods of accounting, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each contract over its entire period of performance, which can exceed one year.
Accounting for the sales and profit on these fixed-price type contracts requires the preparation of estimates of (1) the total contract revenue, (2) the total costs at completion, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to date on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contracts statement of work, and (3) the measurement of progress towards completion. The estimated profit or loss at completion on a contract is equal to the difference between the total estimated contract revenue and the total estimated cost at completion. The profit recorded on a contract in any period using either the units-of-delivery method or cost-to-cost method is equal to the current estimated total profit margin multiplied by the cumulative sales recognized, less the amount of cumulative profit previously recorded for the contract.
Sales and profits on cost-plus type contracts that are covered by contract accounting standards are recognized as allowable costs are incurred on the contract, at an amount equal to the allowable costs plus the estimated profit on those costs. The estimated profit on a cost-plus type contract is fixed or variable based on the contractual fee arrangement. Incentive and award fees are the primary variable fee contractual arrangement types for the Company. Incentive and award fees on cost-plus type contracts are included as an element of total estimated contract revenues and are recorded to sales when a basis exists for the reasonable prediction of performance in relation to established contractual targets and the Company is able to make reasonably dependable estimates for them.
Sales and profits on time-and-material type contracts are recognized on the basis of direct labor hours expended multiplied by the contractual fixed rate per hour, plus the actual costs of materials and other direct non-labor costs.
Revisions or adjustments to estimates for a contracts revenue, estimated costs at completion and estimated profit or loss are often required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained, as facts and circumstances change and as new information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change. Revisions or adjustments may also be required if contract modifications occur. The impact of revisions in profit (loss) estimates for all types of contracts subject to percentage-of-completion accounting are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. The

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
revisions in contract estimates, if significant, can materially affect our results of operations and cash flows, as well as reduce the valuations of receivables and inventories, and in some cases result in liabilities to complete contracts in a loss position. Aggregate net changes in contract estimates increased consolidated operating income by $75 million, or 7.6%, for the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012 and $65 million, or 4.7%, for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011.
For a more complete discussion of these estimates and assumptions, see the Annual Report of L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Reclassifications
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company re-aligned a business units management and organizational structure, and made related reclassifications between its Electronic Systems and C 3 ISR segments. The segment results presented in this quarterly report reflect this reclassification. See Note 20 for the prior period sales, operating income, and assets reclassified between segments.
3. New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2012 the Company retrospectively adopted a new accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements. The adoption of this standard resulted in the presentation of a total for comprehensive income, and the components of net income and other comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive statements. The adoption of this standard only changed how we present comprehensive income and did not impact the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted a revised accounting standard issued by the FASB allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a more detailed two-step goodwill impairment test will be performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of loss to be recognized, if any. The standard is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed beginning in 2012, and did not have an impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
4. Dispositions and Acquisitions
Spin-off of Engility
As discussed in Note 1, the Company completed the spin-off of its subsidiary, Engility, on July 17, 2012. In connection with the spin-off, Engility made a cash distribution of $335 million to L-3. L-3 used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $250 million of its 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (2015 Notes) on July 26, 2012. See Note 9 for additional information on the redemption of the 2015 Notes. There was no gain or loss recognized by us as a result of the spin-off transaction.
Prior to the completion of the spin-off, L-3 and Engility entered into a Distribution Agreement dated July 16, 2012 and several other agreements that govern certain aspects of L-3s current relationship with Engility. These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax related assets and liabilities, whether accrued or contingent. The agreements also describe L-3s commitments to provide Engility with certain services for a period of two to eighteen months in most circumstances.
L-3 incurred transaction expenses in connection with the spin-off of $19 million ($14 million after income taxes) for the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012 and $4 million ($3 million after income taxes) for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011, respectively, which have been included in discontinued

operations. In addition, L-3 allocated interest expense for debt not directly attributable or related to L-3s other operations of $14 million and $24 million for the year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Interest expense was allocated in accordance with the accounting standards for discontinued operations and was based on the ratio of Engility net assets to the sum of: (1) total L-3 consolidated net assets and (2) L-3 consolidated total debt.
Statement of operations data classified as discontinued operations related to Engility is provided in the table below:

The increase in goodwill for the Electronic Systems segment is due to the KEO, MAVCO and Link U.K. business acquisitions. See Note 4 for further discussion regarding these acquisitions. |
(2) |
The increases in goodwill presented in the Electronic Systems, AM&M and NSS segments were primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, Canadian dollar and British pound during the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012. |

excess will be settled in cash or stock or a combination thereof, at the Companys option. At the current conversion price of $92.17, the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion would be determined based on 7.5 million shares of L-3 Holdings common stock. See Note 10 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the CODES, including conditions for conversion. L-3 Holdings closing stock price on November 2, 2012 was $75.85 per share. Through February 1, 2011, the effective interest rate on the CODES was 6.33%. Interest expense related to both the contractual coupon interest and amortization of the discount on the liability component. The Company amortized the discount on the liability component of the CODES through February 1, 2011 which was the first date that the holders of the CODES had a contractual right to require L-3 Holdings to repurchase the CODES. Interest expense for the CODES after February 1, 2011 relates only to the contractual coupon interest. Interest expense recognized was $5 million each for the third quarter ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, and $15 million and $17 million for the year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, a portion of which was allocated to discontinued operations. The carrying amount of the equity component (conversion feature) of the CODES was $64 million at September 28, 2012 and December 31, 2011. |
On February 3, 2012, L-3 Communications amended and restated its $1 billion Revolving Credit Facility, which extended the expiration date to February 3, 2017. See Note 10 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement.
On July 26, 2012 (the redemption date), L-3 Communications used a portion of the proceeds from the spin-off of Engility to redeem $250 million of its 2015 Notes at a redemption price of 102.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the redemption date. In connection with the redemption of the 2015 Notes, the Company recorded a debt retirement charge of $8 million ($5 million after income tax, or $0.05 per diluted share).
On October 15, 2012 (the redemption date), L-3 Communications redeemed the remaining outstanding $250 million of its 2015 Notes at a redemption price of 101.063%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, the Company will record a debt retirement charge of approximately $5 million ($3 million after income tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) in the quarter ending December 31, 2012.
10. Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of September 28, 2012, the statutes of limitations for the Companys U.S. Federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2009 through 2011 were open. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company reversed previously accrued amounts relating to its provision for income taxes of $11 million due to the expiration of the statue of limitations for several tax returns, including the Companys 2008 U.S. Federal income tax return as well as certain foreign tax returns. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Companys 2006 and 2007 U.S. Federal income tax returns. As a result of this agreement, the Company reversed previously accrued amounts relating to its provision for income taxes by $12 million. As of September 28, 2012, the Company anticipates that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $21 million over the next 12 months due to the potential resolution of unrecognized tax benefits involving several jurisdictions and tax periods. The actual amount of the decrease over the next 12 months could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlement.
Non-current income taxes payable include accrued potential interest of $11 million ($7 million after income taxes) at September 28, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and potential penalties of $7 million at September 28, 2012 and $8 million at December 31, 2011.

(1) |
L-3 Holdings CODES had no impact on diluted EPS for the quarterly or year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2012 or September 30, 2011 as the average market price of L-3 Holdings common stock during these periods was less than the price at which the CODES would have been convertible into L-3 Holdings common stock. As of September 28, 2012, the conversion price was $92.17. |
The computation of diluted EPS excluded 3.2 million and 3.5 million of stock options for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2012, respectively, and 3.3 million and 3.1 million of stock options and restricted stock units for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as they were anti-dilutive.
12. Equity
On April 26, 2011, L-3 Holdings Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program that authorizes L-3 Holdings to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock through April 30, 2013. Repurchases of L-3 Holdings common stock under the share repurchase programs, approved by the Board of Directors, are made at managements discretion in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Companys financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities (including acquisitions), market conditions and other factors. All share repurchases of L-3 Holdings common stock have been recorded as treasury shares. L-3 Holdings repurchased 7.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $69.83 per share for an aggregate amount of approximately $504 million from January 1, 2012 through September 28, 2012. At September 28, 2012, the remaining dollar value under the $1.5 billion share repurchase program was approximately $630 million.
From September 29, 2012 through October 31, 2012, L-3 Holdings repurchased 1,019,790 shares of its common stock at an average price of $73.06 per share for an aggregate amount of $75 million.
On October 24, 2012, L-3 Holdings Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on December 17, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 19, 2012.

15. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Companys derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts, which are entered into for risk management purposes, and an embedded derivative representing the contingent interest payment provision related to the CODES.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. The Companys U.S. and foreign businesses enter into contracts with customers, subcontractors or vendors that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. To protect the functional currency equivalent cash flows associated with certain of these contracts, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The Companys activities involving foreign currency forward contracts are designed to hedge the changes in the functional currency equivalent cash flows due to movements in foreign exchange rates compared to the functional currency. The foreign currencies hedged are primarily the Canadian dollar, the Euro, the British pound and the U.S. dollar. The Company manages exposure to counterparty non-performance credit risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts only with major financial institutions that are expected to fully perform under the terms of such contracts. Foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are generally designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with the accounting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Gains and losses on designated foreign currency forward contracts that are highly effective in offsetting the corresponding change in the cash flows of the hedged transactions are recorded net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (accumulated OCI) and then recognized in income when the underlying hedged transaction affects income. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts that do not meet hedge accounting criteria are recognized in income immediately.

See Note 13 for a description of the fair value hierarchy related to the Companys foreign currency forward contracts. |
The effect of gains or losses from foreign currency forward contracts was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011. At September 28, 2012, the estimated amount of existing gains that are expected to be reclassified into income within the next 12 months is $3 million.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees
As previously discussed in Note 4, L-3 entered into a Distribution Agreement and several other agreements that govern certain aspects of L-3s relationship with Engility, including employee matters, tax matters, transition services, and the future supplier/customer relationship between L-3 and Engility. These agreements generally provide cross-indemnities that, except as otherwise provided, are principally designed to place the financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of each entity with that respective entity. Engility has joint and several liability with L-3 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the consolidated U.S. Federal income taxes of L-3s consolidated group for taxable periods in which Engility was a part of that group. However, the
22
L-3 COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC.
AND L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Tax Matters Agreement specifies the portion of this tax liability for which L-3 and Engility will each bear responsibility, and L-3 and Engility have agreed to indemnify each other against any amounts for which the other is not responsible. The Tax Matters Agreement also allocates responsibility between L-3 and Engility for other taxes, including special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event that the spin-off is determined not to be tax-free. Though valid as between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement is not binding on the IRS.
Procurement Regulations
A substantial majority of the Companys revenues are generated from providing products and services under legally binding agreements or contracts with U.S. Government and foreign government customers. U.S. Government contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, and from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether such contracts were and are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. The Company is currently cooperating with the U.S. Government on several investigations, including those specified below, from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings have or could result and give rise to fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. The Company does not currently anticipate that any of these investigations will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, under U.S. Government regulations, an indictment of the Company by a federal grand jury, or an administrative finding against the Company as to its present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in the Company being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for awards of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges. A conviction, or an administrative finding against the Company that satisfies the requisite level of seriousness, could result in debarment from contracting with the federal government for a specified term. In addition, all of the Companys U.S. Government contracts: (1) are subject to audit and various pricing and cost controls, (2) include standard provisions for termination for the convenience of the U.S. Government or for default, and (3) are subject to cancellation if funds for contracts become unavailable. Foreign government contracts generally include comparable provisions relating to terminations for convenience and default, as well as other procurement clauses relevant to the foreign government.
Litigation Matters
The Company is also subject to litigation, proceedings, claims or assessments and various contingent liabilities incidental to its businesses, including those specified below. Furthermore, in connection with certain business acquisitions, the Company has assumed some or all claims against, and liabilities of, such acquired businesses, including both asserted and unasserted claims and liabilities.
In accordance with the accounting standard for contingencies, the Company records a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Generally, the loss is recorded at the amount the Company expects to resolve the liability. The estimated amounts of liabilities recorded for pending and threatened litigation are disclosed in Note 8. Amounts recoverable from insurance contracts or third parties are recorded as assets when deemed probable. At September 28, 2012, the Company did not record any amounts for recoveries from insurance contracts or third parties in connection with the amount of liabilities recorded for pending and threatened litigation. Legal defense costs are expensed as incurred. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for its litigation matters. The Company reviews these provisions quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. While it is reasonably possible that an unfavorable outcome may occur in one or more of the following matters, unless otherwise stated below, the Company believes that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred in any of these matters. With respect to the litigation matters below for which it is reasonably possible that an unfavorable outcome may occur, an estimate of loss or range of loss is disclosed

when such amount or amounts can be reasonably estimated. Although the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters and investigations pending against it, the results of litigation can be difficult to predict, particularly those involving jury trials. Accordingly, our current judgment as to the likelihood of our loss (or our current estimate as to the potential range of loss, if applicable) with respect to any particular litigation matter may turn out to be wrong. Therefore, it is possible that the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these or other contingencies.
Kalitta Air. On January 31, 1997, a predecessor of Kalitta Air filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the trial court) asserting, among other things, negligence and negligent misrepresentation against Central Texas Airborne Systems, Inc. (CTAS), a predecessor to L-3 Integrated Systems (L-3 IS), in connection with work performed by a predecessor to CTAS to convert two Boeing 747 aircraft from passenger configuration to cargo freighters. CTAS insurance carrier has accepted defense of this matter and has retained counsel, subject to a reservation of rights by the insurer to dispute its obligations under the applicable insurance policies in the event a judgment is ultimately rendered against CTAS. The work at issue in the lawsuit was performed using Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) issued in 1988 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In 1996, following completion of the work, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive with respect to the STCs that effectively grounded the aircraft. On August 11, 2000, the trial court granted CTAS motion for summary judgment as to negligence, dismissing that claim. In January 2001, after a ruling by the trial court that excluded certain evidence from trial, a jury rendered a unanimous defense verdict in favor of CTAS on the negligent misrepresentation claim. On December 10, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the Court of Appeals) reversed the trial courts decisions as to summary judgment and the exclusion of evidence, and remanded the case for a new trial on both the negligence and negligent misrepresentation claims. The retrial ended on March 2, 2005 with a deadlocked jury and mistrial. On July 22, 2005, the trial court granted CTAS motion for judgment as a matter of law as to negligence, dismissing that claim, and denied CTAS motion for judgment as a matter of law as to negligent misrepresentation. On October 8, 2008, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial courts dismissal of the negligence claim and affirmed the trial courts ruling as to the negligent misrepresentation claim. As a result, the case was remanded to the trial court to reconsider the negligence claim and for further proceedings on the negligent misrepresentation claim. The trial court held a new hearing on CTAS motion to dismiss the negligence claim on April 30, 2009, after which it determined to take the matter under advisement. A third jury trial for this matter began on October 31, 2011, during which Kalitta Air sought damages of approximately $235 million plus an unspecified amount of pre-judgment interest that, in other contexts, has been claimed by Kalitta Air to exceed $240 million. Following the completion of the third trial on November 30, 2011, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of CTAS, finding no negligence on the part of CTAS. The trial court entered a judgment upon the verdict on March 20, 2012. Kalitta Air has appealed the judgment to the Court of Appeals.
Bashkirian Airways. On July 1, 2004, lawsuits were filed on behalf of the estates of 31 Russian children in the state courts of Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, New York and New Jersey against Honeywell, Honeywell TCAS, Thales USA, Thales France, the Company and Aviation Communications & Surveillance Systems (ACSS), which is a joint venture of L-3 and Thales. The suits relate to the crash over southern Germany of Bashkirian Airways Tupelov TU 154M aircraft and a DHL Boeing 757 cargo aircraft. On-board the Tupelov aircraft were 9 crew members and 60 passengers, including 45 children. The Boeing aircraft carried a crew of two. Both aircraft were equipped with Honeywell/ACSS Model 2000, Change 7 Traffic Collision and Avoidance Systems (TCAS). Sensing the other aircraft, the on-board DHL TCAS instructed the DHL pilot to descend, and the Tupelov on-board TCAS instructed the Tupelov pilot to climb. However, the Swiss air traffic controller ordered the Tupelov pilot to descend. The Tupelov pilot disregarded the on-board TCAS and put the Tupelov aircraft into a descent striking the DHL aircraft in midair at approximately 35,000 feet. All crew and passengers

of both planes were lost. Investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board after the crash revealed that both TCAS units were performing as designed. The suits allege negligence and strict product liability based upon the design of the units and the training provided to resolve conflicting commands and seek approximately $315 million in damages, including $150 million in punitive damages. The Companys insurers have accepted defense of this matter and have retained counsel. The matters were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, which has dismissed the actions on the basis of forum non conveniens. The plaintiffs re-filed a complaint on April 23, 2007 with the Barcelona Courts Registry in Spain. On March 9, 2010, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and entered judgment against ACSS in the amount of approximately $6.7 million, all of which represented compensatory damages. Both ACSS and the plaintiffs appealed the judgment. In May 2012, the appellate court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and entered judgment against ACSS in the amount of $48 million. The Company filed an appeal of the judgment with the Supreme Court of Spain on September 28, 2012 because it believes that the ruling and the damages awarded are inconsistent with the law and evidence presented. The Company continues to believe that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred with respect to this matter.
Gol Airlines. A complaint was filed on November 7, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against ExcelAire, Joseph Lepore, Jan Paul Paladino, and Honeywell. On October 23, 2007, an amended complaint was filed to include Lockheed, Raytheon, Amazon Technologies and ACSS. The complaints relate to the September 29, 2006 airplane crash over Brazil of a Boeing 737-800 operated by GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, S.A. and an Embraer 600 business jet operated by ExcelAire. The complaints allege that ACSS designed the TCAS on the ExcelAire jet, and assert claims of negligence, strict products liability and breach of warranty against ACSS based on the design of the TCAS and the instructions provided for its use. The complaints seek unspecified monetary damages, including punitive damages. The Companys insurers have accepted defense of this matter and have retained counsel. On July 2, 2008, the District Court dismissed the actions on the basis of forum non conveniens on the grounds that Brazil was the location of the accident and is more convenient for witnesses and document availability. On December 2, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld this decision. Twelve of the plaintiffs re-filed their complaints in the Lower Civil Court in the Judicial District of Peixoto de Azevedo in Brazil on July 3, 2009, but withdrew their complaints in July 2010 without prejudice to their right to re-file them against ACSS. An additional four plaintiffs re-filed their complaints in the Lower Civil Court in Rio de Janeiro before the expiration of the statute of limitations. ACSS has not been served in any of these actions. While the statute of limitations has expired and would bar any additional plaintiffs (beyond the 16 noted above) from re-filing claims directly against ACSS, it would not bar GOL from filing a future suit against ACSS based on litigation claims being pursued by the original plaintiffs against GOL in connection with this matter. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss that is reasonably possible for this matter because: (i) the proceedings are in early stages; (ii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of the claims being pursued against GOL; and (iv) the Companys knowledge of the proceedings relating to these claims is limited.

Contributions. For the year ending December 31, 2012, the Company currently expects to contribute cash of approximately $174 million to its pension plans, and approximately $13 million to its postretirement benefit plans. The Company contributed cash of $138 million to its pension plans and $8 million to its postretirement benefit plans during the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012.
18. Employee Stock-Based Compensation
During the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012, the Company granted stock-based compensation under the Amended and Restated 2008 Long Term Performance Plan (2008 LTPP) in the form of stock options, restricted stock units and performance units.
Engility Spin-off Adjustments. As a result of the spin-off of Engility, effective July 17, 2012, all outstanding stock-based compensation awards related to current and former Engility employees were assumed by and transferred to Engility. The share amounts for outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance units that remained with L-3, and the strike price for such stock options were adjusted to maintain their aggregate intrinsic value at the date of the spin-off pursuant to the terms of the Companys 2008 LTPP and resulted in no charge to the statement of operations. The conversion ratio for stock options, restricted stock units and performance units that remained with L-3 was 1.04.

Stock Options. The Company granted 811,193 stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of L-3 Holdings common stock on the date of grant. The options expire after 10 years from the date of grant and vest ratably over a three-year period on the annual anniversary of the date of grant. The options granted to our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer are also subject to performance-based vesting conditions. The weighted average grant date fair value for the options awarded was $11.12 per option and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in the valuation model for this grant are presented in the table below.

Restricted Stock Units. The Company granted 715,866 restricted stock units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $67.48 per share. Restricted stock units automatically convert into shares of L-3 Holdings common stock upon vesting, and are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed, including a three year cliff vesting period for employees and a one year cliff vesting period for non-employee directors, in each case starting on the date of grant.
Performance Units. The Company granted 66,756 performance units with a weighted average grant date fair value per unit of $67.49. The final payout for these units is based on the achievement of pre-determined EPS goals established by the compensation committee of the Companys Board of Directors for the three-year period ending December 31, 2014. The payout can range from zero to 200% of the original number of units awarded, which are converted into shares of L-3 Holdings common stock based on the then existing closing price at the end of the performance period.

22. Condensed Combining Financial Information of L-3 Communications and Its Subsidiaries
L-3 Communications is a wholly-owned subsidiary of L-3 Holdings. The debt of L-3 Communications, including the Senior Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes and borrowings under amounts drawn against the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed, on a joint and several, full and unconditional basis, by certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The debt of L-3 Holdings, including the CODES, are guaranteed on a joint and several, full and unconditional basis, by L-3 Communications and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. See Note 10 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. The foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries of L-3 Communications (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) do not guarantee the debt of L-3 Communications or L-3 Holdings. None of the debt of L-3 Communications has been issued by its subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the payment of dividends from the Guarantor Subsidiaries to L-3 Communications.
Prior to the spin-off of Engility on July 17, 2012, Engility Holdings, Inc., Engility Corporation, International Resources Group Ltd. and LinCom Wireless, Inc. were guarantor subsidiaries of the Company. As a result of the spin-off, these entities no longer guarantee the debt of L-3 Communications or L-3 Holdings. As a result, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Engility businesses have been reclassified from guarantor subsidiaries to L-3 Communications as discontinued operations in the following condensed combining financial information.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Spin-off of Engility
On July 17, 2012, L-3 completed the spin-off of its subsidiary, Engility Holdings, Inc. (Engility) to L-3s shareholders. The spin-off was a tax-free distribution to L-3 shareholders for U.S. federal tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares. L-3 shareholders of record on July 16, 2012 (the record date) received one share of Engility common stock for every six shares of L-3 common stock held on the record date. Engility began trading as an independent publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange on July 18, 2012.
Engility included the systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), training and operational support services businesses that were part of L-3s Government Services segment. L-3 retained the cyber security, intelligence, enterprise information technology (IT) and security solutions businesses that were also part of L-3s Government Services segment, which was renamed National Security Solutions (NSS). The NSS businesses develop unique solutions to address growing challenges for the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Government intelligence agencies, and global security customers.
In connection with the spin-off, Engility made a cash distribution of $335 million to L-3. We used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $250 million of our 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (2015 Notes) on July 26, 2012 and we intend to use the remaining proceeds primarily to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. There was no gain or loss recognized by us as a result of the spin-off transaction.
Prior to the completion of the spin-off, L-3 and Engility entered into a Distribution Agreement dated July 16, 2012 and several other agreements that govern certain aspects of our relationship with Engility following the spin-off. These agreements generally provide that each party will be responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities, following the spin-off, whether accrued or contingent. The agreements also describe our future commitments to provide Engility with certain services for a period of two to eighteen months in most circumstances.
As a result of the spin-off, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests, results of operations and cash flows of the Engility businesses have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We incurred transaction expenses in connection with the spin-off of $19 million ($14 million after income tax) for the for the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012 and $4 million ($3 million after income tax) year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011, which have been included in discontinued operations. In addition, we allocated interest expense for debt not directly attributable or related to L-3s other operations of $14 million for the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012 and $24 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011. Interest expense was allocated in accordance with the accounting standards for discontinued operations and was based on the ratio of Engility net assets to the sum of: (1) total L-3 consolidated net assets and (2) L-3 consolidated total debt.

In connection with the spin-off of Engility, L-3 was required to allocate the goodwill of the former Government Services reporting unit between Engility and NSS based on the relative fair values of each business at the spin-off date in accordance with the accounting standards for goodwill. As a result, based on the relative fair value, L-3 allocated $1,225 million being allocated to Engility.

L-3s Business
L-3 is a prime contractor in Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C 3 ISR) systems, aircraft modernization and maintenance, and national security solutions. L-3 is also a leading provider of a broad range of electronic systems used on military and commercial platforms. Our
36
customers include the DoD and its prime contractors, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of State (DoS), allied foreign governments, and domestic and foreign commercial customers.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, we generated sales of $13.2 billion. Our primary customer was the DoD. The table below presents a summary of our 2011 sales by end customer and the percent contributed by each to our total 2011 sales. We currently expect sales to the DoD, as a percentage of total 2012 sales, to decline by a few percentage points as compared to sales to the DoD as a percentage of total 2011 sales.

We have the following four reportable segments: (1) Electronic Systems, (2) C 3 ISR, (3) Aircraft Modernization and Maintenance (AM&M), and (4) NSS. Financial information with respect to each of the Companys segments is included in Note 20. Electronic Systems provides a broad range of products and services, including components, products, subsystems and systems and related services to military and commercial customers in several niche markets across several business areas, including microwave, power & control systems, integrated sensor systems, aviation products, simulation & training, warrior systems, precision engagement, security & detection, space & propulsion, undersea warfare and marine services. C 3 ISR provides products and services for the global ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) market, C 3 systems, networked communications systems and secure communications products. The Company believes that these products and services are critical elements for a substantial number of major command, control and communication, intelligence gathering and space systems. These products and services are used to connect a variety of airborne, space, ground and sea-based communication systems and are used in the transmission, processing, recording, monitoring, and dissemination functions of these communication systems. AM&M provides modernization, upgrades and sustainment, maintenance and logistics support services for military and various government aircraft and other platforms. The Company sells these services primarily to the DoD, the Canadian Department of Defense and other allied foreign governments. NSS provides a full range of cyber security, intelligence, enterprise information technology (IT) and security solutions services to the DoD, DoS, U.S. Government intelligence agencies and global security customers.
Industry Considerations
As described above, sales to the DoD represented approximately 74% of our total 2011 sales. The U.S. Government fiscal year ends on September 30th. From fiscal year (FY) 2000 to FY 2010, the DoD budget, including wartime funding for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 9%. The total DoD budget (base and OCO) for FY 2011 was approximately flat compared to fiscal year 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the U.S. Government completed its drawdown of U.S. military troops from Iraq, and began to drawdown troops from Afghanistan, in accordance with the Obama Administrations (the Administration) plan to complete the drawdown from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. While the U.S. is expected to maintain a presence in the Middle East to deter aggression and prevent the emergence of new threats, we expect that there will be a rebalance toward other regions of the world such as the Asia-Pacific theatre. In addition, the U.S. Government has been under increasing pressure to reduce the U.S. fiscal budget deficit and national spending.
In August 2011, Congress enacted the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the BCA). The BCA immediately imposes spending caps that contain approximately $487 billion in reductions to the DoD base budgets over the next ten years (FY 2012 to FY 2021), compared to previously proposed DoD base budgets for the same fiscal years. An
37
automatic sequestration process was also triggered and becomes effective on January 3, 2013, unless modified by the enactment of new law. The sequestration process imposes additional cuts of approximately $50 billion per year to the currently proposed DoD budgets for each fiscal year beginning with FY 2013 through FY 2021, for which FY 2013 to FY 2017 proposed DoD budgets are presented below. If the sequestration cuts to the DoD budgets occur, we expect that they will have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows, and could cause goodwill impairment charges.
On February 13, 2012, the Administration submitted its FY 2013 proposed budget (FY 2013 DoD Plan) to Congress, which complies with the first phase of the BCA imposed spending cuts. The FY 2013 DoD Plan reduces proposed DoD base budgets by $259 billion for FY 2013 to FY 2017, compared to the previously proposed DoD base budgets. The FY 2013 DoD Plan does not address or provision for the automatic sequestration process. The FY 2013 DoD Plan reflects a revised national security strategy that includes a more disciplined use of resources from: (1) various efficiency initiatives, (2) military force structure reductions, (3) equipment modernization savings, including program terminations, restructuring and deferrals, and (4) military personnel compensation changes. The table below presents the enacted DoD budget (base and OCO) for FY 2012 and the proposed DoD budgets for FY 2013 to FY 2017, as provided in the FY 2013 DoD Plan.

The FY 2013 DoD Plan continues to focus on advanced ISR, communications, strike aircraft, precision-guided weapons, unmanned systems, networked information technologies, cyber security, special operations forces, missile defense and space programs, and generally, systems and capabilities that are critical to both conventional and irregular warfare, and the ability to project power in denied environments. We believe L-3 is well positioned to benefit from the DoDs focus in several of these areas. The declining DoD budgets, however, will reduce funding for some of our revenue arrangements and generally will have a negative impact on our sales, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, the planned withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 is expected to negatively impact our sales related to supporting U.S. military operations in Afghanistan.
In September 2012, Congress passed and the President signed a six-month continuing resolution on appropriations which funds the DoD at the BCA cap level until March 27, 2013.
Key Performance Measures
The primary financial performance measures that L-3 uses to manage its businesses and monitor results of operations are sales and operating income trends. The two main determinants of our operating income are sales and operating margin. We define operating margin as operating income as a percentage of sales. Management believes that these financial performance measures (sales growth and operating margin improvements) are the primary growth drivers for L-3s earnings per common share and net cash from operating activities. Generally, in evaluating our businesses and contract performance, we focus on net sales, operating income and operating margin, and not by type or amount of operating costs. As a result of this approach and the general nature of our operations, the discussion of results of operations focuses on changes in net sales and operating margin.
One of L-3s primary business objectives is to increase sales from organic growth and select business acquisitions. We define organic sales growth as the increase or decrease in sales for the current period compared to the prior period, excluding sales in the: (1) current period from business acquisitions that are included in L-3s actual results of operations for less than twelve months, and (2) prior period from business divestitures that are
38
included in L-3s actual results of operations for the twelve-month period prior to the divestiture date. We expect to supplement our organic sales growth by selectively acquiring businesses that: (1) add important new technologies and products, (2) provide access to select customers, programs and contracts, (3) expand our market share and strengthen our businesses and (4) provide attractive returns on investment.
Sales Trend. For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated net sales of $13,158 million declined by 2%, due to a decline in organic sales of 3%, partially offset by net sales from business acquisitions of 1%. For the quarter ended September 28, 2012 (2012 Third Quarter), consolidated net sales of $3,283 million declined by $18 million, or 0.5%, due to a decline in organic sales of $81 million, or 2.4%, partially offset by net sales from acquisitions of $63 million, or 1.9%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011 (2011 Third Quarter). For the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012 (2012 Year-to-Date Period), consolidated net sales of $9,586 million declined by $29 million, or 0.3%, due to a decline in organic sales of $159 million, or 1.7%, partially offset by net sales from acquisitions of $130 million, or 1.4%, compared to the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011 (2011 Year-to-Date Period).
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our largest contract (revenue arrangement) in terms of annual sales was the Fort Rucker Maintenance Support contract with the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM), which is included in our AM&M segment. Under this contract, which generated approximately 4% of our 2011 sales, we provide maintenance, logistics and other related sustainment support services for rotary-wing aircraft assigned to Fort Rucker and satellite units in Alabama. On July 24, 2012, we won the AMCOM contract re-competition, which includes a one-year base period through September 30, 2013, and four one-year options, with an estimated total contract value of $1.98 billion. However, the award has been protested. We expect a decision on the award in the fourth quarter of 2012. We cannot provide any reassurance that we will prevail in the protest.
Operating Income Trend. Operating income for the 2012 Third Quarter was $331 million, a decrease of 8% from $359 million for the 2011 Third Quarter. Our operating margin was 10.1% for the 2012 Third Quarter, a decrease of 80 basis points from 10.9% for the 2011 Third Quarter.
Operating income for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period was $987 million, a decrease of 6% from $1,045 million for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. Our operating margin was 10.3% for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period, a decrease of 60 basis points from 10.9% for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. See Results of Operations, including segment results below for a discussion of operating margin.
We are focused on increasing operating margin, to the extent possible, by reducing our indirect costs and improving our overall contract performance. Our 2012 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Period operating margin was lower than our prior year comparative period operating margin and we expect our 2012 annual operating margin to decline as compared to 2011. While we are taking actions to increase operating margin, these actions may not be successful. Furthermore, in the future, select business acquisitions and select new business, including contract renewals and new contracts, could have lower operating margins than L-3s operating margin on existing business and contracts. Changes in the competitive environment and DoD procurement practices and reductions in our consolidated sales levels could also result in lower operating margin.
Other Events
2012 Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. On February 3, 2012, we amended and restated our $1 billion Revolving Credit Facility, which extended the expiration date to February 3, 2017. The terms of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility are substantially consistent with the terms of this facility prior to its amendment and restatement except that: (1) provisions that previously limited the ability of L-3 Communications to pay dividends, repurchase L-3 Holdings common stock and make other distributions with respect to any capital stock were eliminated, (2) a provision that previously limited the ability of L-3 Communications to make investments in L-3 Holdings was made less restrictive and (3) the cost of borrowings, loan commitment fees and letter of credit fees were reduced. In addition, the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility provides for uncommitted incremental revolving facilities and additional term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million. See Note 9 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report for additional information regarding the amendment of our $1 billion Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility.
39
Debt Redemptions. On July 26, 2012 (the redemption date), L-3 Communications used a portion of the proceeds from the spin-off of Engility to redeem $250 million of its 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (2015 Notes) at a redemption price of 102.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the redemption date. In connection with the redemption of the 2015 Notes, we recorded a debt retirement charge of $8 million ($5 million after income tax, or $0.05 per diluted share).
On October 15, 2012 (the redemption date), L-3 Communications redeemed the remaining outstanding $250 million of its 2015 Notes at a redemption price of 101.063%, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date. In connection with the redemption we will record a debt retirement charge of approximately $5 million ($3 million after income tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) in the quarter ending December 31, 2012.
Business Acquisitions and Dispositions
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 summarizes the business acquisitions and business dispositions that we completed during the three years ended December 31, 2011. During the 2012 Year-to-Date Period, we used $349 million of cash to acquire the Kollmorgen Electro-Optical (KEO) business, MAVCO, Inc. (MAVCO) and the commercial aircraft simulation business from Thales Group (named Link Simulation & Training U.K., Limited (Link U.K.)). All of our business acquisitions are included in our consolidated results of operations from their dates of acquisition. Also, see Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report for further discussion of the business acquisitions completed during the 2012 Year-to-Date Period.
On July 17, 2012, we completed the previously announced spin-off of our subsidiary, Engility Holdings, Inc. See Overview and Outlook for further discussion of the distribution of proceeds and impact on our financial results and financial position.
The following information should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report. Our results of operations for the periods presented are affected by our business acquisitions. See Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report for a discussion of our 2012 business acquisitions and Note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a discussion of our 2011 business acquisitions.

Net Sales: For the 2012 Third Quarter, consolidated net sales of $3.3 billion were 0.5% lower than the 2011 Third Quarter. Sales growth from the AM&M, C 3 ISR and Electronic Systems segments was offset by lower sales from the NSS segment. Acquired businesses, which are all included in the Electronic Systems segment, added $63 million to net sales in the 2012 Third Quarter. Net sales to commercial and foreign government end customers grew 19% to $808 million for the 2012 Third Quarter compared to $679 million for the 2011 Third Quarter.
Sales from services, which include services performed by businesses primarily in our AM&M, C 3 ISR and NSS segments decreased by $79 million to $1,368 million, representing approximately 42% of consolidated net sales for the 2012 Third Quarter, compared to $1,447 million, or approximately 44% of consolidated net sales for the 2011 Third Quarter. Sales from services decreased primarily due to: (1) a decrease in logistic support services due to the competitive loss of a task order for contract field team support services in Southwest Asia for the U.S. Army, (2) a decline in IT support services for select non-DoD U.S. Government agencies due to customer IT spending reductions and competitive contract losses in 2011, and (3) less demand for U.S. Special Operations Command IT support services due to our previous single-award contract converting to several multiple-award contracts, which reduced our work share.
Sales from products, which primarily include products from our Electronic Systems and C 3 ISR segments, increased by $61 million to $1,915 million, representing approximately 58% of consolidated net sales for the 2012 Third Quarter, compared to $1,854 million, or approximately 56% of consolidated net sales for the 2011 Third Quarter. Sales from products increased primarily due to sales from the KEO and Link U.K. business acquisitions, and organic sales growth primarily for: (1) Platform Systems sales for the new Australia C-27J contract and (2) Microwave Products due to increased deliveries of mobile and ground-based satellite communication systems for the U.S. military and power devices for commercial satellite communication systems. These increases were partially offset by decreases due to Marine & Power Systems due to lower demand primarily for commercial shipbuilding products as well as negative foreign currency translation, lower sales for networked communications systems primarily from fewer deliveries of remote video terminals and reduced shipments of tactical quiet generators for the U.S. Army.
For the 2012 Year-to-Date Period consolidated net sales of $9.6 billion decreased by $29 million compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. Higher sales from the C 3 ISR and AM&M segments were offset by lower sales from the NSS and Electronic Systems segments. Acquired businesses, which are all included in the Electronic Systems segment, added $130 million to net sales in the 2012 Year-to-Date Period. Net sales to commercial and foreign government end customers grew 12% to $2,223 million for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period compared to $1,992 million for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period.
Sales from services decreased by $17 million to $4,134 million, representing approximately 43% of consolidated net sales for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period, compared to $4,151 million, or approximately 43% of consolidated net sales for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. The net decrease in sales from services was primarily due to trends similar to the 2012 Third Quarter as discussed above. Sales also declined for intelligence support services due to the drawdown of U.S. military forces in Iraq. In addition, sales increased due to higher demand for field maintenance and sustainment services on a U.S. Army rotary wing aircraft contract that was competitively won in September 2011 and for the U.S. C-12 aircraft.
Sales from products decreased by $12 million to $5,452 million, representing approximately 57% of consolidated net sales for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period, compared to $5,464 million for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period, or approximately 57% of consolidated net sales for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. The net decrease in product sales was primarily due to trends similar to the 2012 Third Quarter as discussed above as well as lower sales for Warrior Systems for night vision and illumination products due to reduced U.S. Army requirements and Precision Engagement due to contracts nearing completion and lower demand. In addition, the decreases were partially offset by organic sales growth from Sensor Systems due to higher sales of airborne EO/IR turrets to the DoD and networked communication systems due to higher volume for manned and unmanned platforms for the DoD.

See the segment results below for additional discussion of our sales.
Operating income and operating margin: Operating income for the 2012 Third Quarter decreased by $28 million compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Operating income as a percentage of net sales (operating margin) decreased by 80 basis points to 10.1% for the 2012 Third Quarter compared to 10.9% for the 2011 Third Quarter primarily due to higher pension expense of $15 million ($9 million after income tax, or $0.09 per diluted share) reduced operating margin by 40 basis points.
Operating income for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period decreased by $58 million compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. Operating margin decreased by 60 basis points to 10.3% for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period compared to 10.9% for the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. Higher pension expense of $28 million ($17 million after income tax, or $0.17 per diluted share) reduced operating margin by 30 basis points.
See the segment results below for additional discussion of our operating margin.
Net interest expense and other income: Net interest expense and other income increased by $1 million for the 2012 Third Quarter compared to the same period last year. The 2012 Third Quarter includes a $3 million ($2 million after income tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) non-cash asset impairment charge related to the planned dissolution of an unconsolidated joint venture. Interest expense declined by $2 million due to lower interest rates on outstanding fixed rate debt.
Net interest expense and other income decreased by $10 million for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period compared to the same period last year. Lower interest expense of $13 million on outstanding fixed rate debt was partially offset by the $3 million non-cash asset impairment charge recorded in the 2012 Third Quarter, related to the planned dissolution of an unconsolidated joint venture.
Debt retirement charge: During the 2012 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Period, the company recorded a debt retirement charge of $8 million ($5 million after income tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) related to the redemption of $250 million of the 2015 Notes.
During the 2011 Year-to-Date Period, the company redeemed $650 million of its 5 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 and recorded a debt retirement charge of $18 million ($11 million after income tax, or $0.10 per diluted share).
Effective income tax rate: The effective tax rate for the 2012 Third Quarter decreased by 230 basis points compared to the same period last year. The effective tax rate decreased by 390 basis points due to a tax benefit of $11 million primarily related to the reversal of amounts previously accrued for tax years in which the statutes of limitations expired, partially offset by the expiration of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit on December 31, 2011.
The effective tax rate for the 2012 Year-to-Date Period increased by 120 basis points compared to the same period last year primarily due to the expiration of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit on December 31, 2011. The 2012 and 2011 Year-to-Date Periods included tax benefits of $11 million and $12 million, respectively, primarily related to the reversal of amounts previously accrued for prior tax years.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to L-3 and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations: Net income from continuing operations attributable to L-3 in the 2012 Third Quarter decreased 9% to $193 million compared to the 2011 Third Quarter, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations decreased 2% to $1.98 from $2.02.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to L-3 in the 2012 Year-to-Date Period decreased 6% to $570 million compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date Period, and diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 3% to $5.78 from $5.62.
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding: Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2012 Third Quarter and the 2012 Year-to-Date Period declined by 7% and 8%, respectively. The decrease was due to repurchases of our common stock in connection with our share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors, partially offset by additional shares issued in connection with various employee stock-based compensation programs and contributions to employee savings plans made in common stock.

Electronic Systems net sales for the 2012 Third Quarter increased by $9 million, or 1%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Sales increased for: (1) Microwave Products by $35 million primarily for increased deliveries of mobile and ground-based satellite communication systems for the U.S. military and power devices for commercial satellite communication systems, (2) Sensor Systems by $30 million primarily from the KEO acquisition and (3) Simulation & Training by $20 million primarily due to the Link U.K. acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a sales decrease of $63 million for Marine & Power Systems due to lower
43
demand primarily for commercial shipbuilding products, which reduced sales by $37 million (including $15 million of negative foreign currency translation), and reduced shipments of tactical quiet generators for the U.S. Army, which reduced sales by $26 million. Also, sales declined by $13 million for Precision Engagement due to lower volume from contracts nearing completion during the quarter and lower demand.
Electronic Systems operating income for the 2012 Third Quarter decreased by $8 million, or 5%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Operating margin decreased by 70 basis points to 11.3%. Sales mix changes reduced operating margin by 40 basis points and higher pension expense of $4 million reduced operation margin by 30 basis points.
Electronic Systems net sales for the 2012 Year-to-Date period decreased by $13 million, or 0.3%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. Sales declined for: (1) Marine & Power Systems by $105 million primarily due to reduced shipments of tactical quiet generators for the U.S. Army, which reduced sales by $72 million and $33 million of negative foreign currency translation, (2) Warrior Systems by $68 million for night vision and illumination products due to reduced U.S. Army requirements, and (3) Precision Engagement by $65 million due to contracts nearing completion and lower demand. These declines were partially offset by sales increases of: (1) $135 million for Sensor Systems, comprised of $100 million from the KEO acquisition and $35 million primarily for higher sales of airborne EO/IR turrets for the DoD, (2) $66 million primarily for Microwave Products due to reasons similar to the 2012 Third Quarter, and (3) $24 million for the Link U.K. acquisition.
Electronic Systems operating income for the 2012 Year-to-Date period decreased by $23 million, or 5%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. Operating margin decreased by 60 basis points to 11.8%. Sales mix changes reduced operating margin by 80 basis points and higher pension expense of $4 million reduced operating margin by 10 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by improved contract performance, primarily for Displays, Warrior Systems and Precision Engagement, which increased operating margin by 30 basis points.

C 3 ISR net sales for the 2012 Third Quarter increased by $11 million, or 1%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Sales for ISR Systems increased by $49 million primarily due to higher volume for airborne ISR systems. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of $38 million for networked communication systems primarily from fewer deliveries of remote video terminals and lower volume on the Hawklink contract due to development and low rate initial production work nearing completion.
C 3 ISR operating income for the 2012 Third Quarter decreased by $7 million, or 7%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Operating margin decreased by 90 basis points to 10.5%. Higher pension expense of $10 million reduced operating margin by 110 basis points and sales mix changes reduced operating margin by 40 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by improved contract performance, which increased operating margin by 60 basis points.
C 3 ISR net sales for the 2012 Year-to-Date period increased by $167 million, or 7%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. Sales for ISR Systems increased by $144 million primarily due to higher volume on airborne ISR systems and increased demand for logistic support and fleet management services. Sales also increased by $23 million primarily for networked communication systems due to higher volume for manned and unmanned platforms for DoD customers.

AM&M net sales for the 2012 Third Quarter increased by $26 million, or 4%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Platform systems sales increased by $99 million, partially offset by a decline of $73 million for logistics support services. The platform systems increase was due primarily to volume on new contracts, including the Australia C-27J and international head-of-state aircraft modification contracts, and increased scope on the EC-130 aircraft for the U.S. Air Force (USAF). Logistics support services decreased due primarily to the competitive loss of a task order for U.S. Army contract field team support services in Southwest Asia.
AM&M operating income for the 2012 Third Quarter increased by $5 million, or 8%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Operating margin increased 30 basis points to 10.0%. Operating margin increased by 100 basis points due to lower costs related to the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA). This increase was partially offset by 50 basis points primarily due to sales mix changes and 20 basis points due to higher pension expense of $1 million.
AM&M net sales for the 2012 Year-to-Date period increased by $29 million, or 2%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. Platform systems sales increased by $78 million, which was partially offset by a decline of $49 million for logistic support services. The platform systems increase was due primarily to volume on new contracts, including the Australia C-27J and international head-of-state aircraft modification contracts, and increased scope on the EC-130 aircraft for the USAF. These increases were partially offset by lower JCA volume for the USAF. Logistics support services decreased due primarily to the loss of a task order for U.S. Army contract field team support services in Southwest Asia, partially offset by increased demand for field maintenance and sustainment services on a U.S. Army rotary wing aircraft contract that was competitively won in September 2011 and for U.S. Army C-12 aircraft.
AM&M operating income for the 2012 Year-to-Date period decreased by $2 million, or 0.9%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. Operating margin decreased by 30 basis points to 9.6%. The decrease in operating margin was due to a $6 million, or 30 basis points, net favorable adjustment in the 2011 Year-to-Date period, comprised of a favorable price adjustment for an international modification contract, partially offset by start-up costs for the U.S. Army C-12 aircraft maintenance contract. Pension expense increased by $5 million, which reduced operating margin by 30 basis points. These decreases were partially offset by 30 basis points primarily due to lower costs related to JCA.

NSS net sales for the 2012 Third Quarter decreased by $65 million, or 16%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Less demand for U.S. Special Operations Command IT support services, due to our previous single-award contract converting to several multiple-award contracts which reduced our workshare, lowered sales by $27 million. A decline in IT support services for select non-DoD U.S. Government agencies due to customer IT spending reductions and competitive contract losses in 2011 lowered sales by $25 million. Sales declined by $13 million for intelligence support services due to the drawdown of U.S. military forces in Iraq.
NSS operating income for the 2012 Third Quarter decreased by $18 million, or 55%, compared to the 2011 Third Quarter. Operating margin decreased by 370 basis points to 4.1% primarily due to: (1) lower contract profit rates on re-competitions of existing business and lower sales volume, which reduced operating margin by 200 basis points, (2) a $4 million inventory write-down for security and safety equipment, which reduced operating margin by 110 basis points, and (3) legal fees of $2 million related to a supplier dispute, which reduced operating margin by 60 basis points.
NSS net sales for the 2012 Year-to-Date period decreased by $213 million, or 17%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. The decrease was primarily due to trends similar to the 2012 Third Quarter. Specifically, lower volumes for IT support services reduced sales by $84 million, less demand for U.S. Special Operations Command IT support services lowered sales by $81 million, and the drawdown of U.S. military forces in Iraq lowered sales by $48 million.
NSS operating income for the 2012 Year-to-Date period decreased by $20 million, or 26%, compared to the 2011 Year-to-Date period. Operating margin decreased by 70 basis points to 5.4%. Lower sales volume and lower contract profit rates on re-competitions of existing business decreased operating margins by 40 basis points, a $4 million inventory write-down for security and safety equipment reduced operating margin by 40 basis points, and legal fees of $3 million related to a supplier dispute reduced operating margins by 30 basis points. These decreases were partially offset by the timing of award fees for acquisition management and IT support services, which increased operating margin by 40 basis points.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Anticipated Sources and Uses of Cash Flow
At September 28, 2012, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $514 million as compared to $764 million at December 31, 2011. While no amounts of the cash and cash equivalents are considered restricted, $203 million was held by the Companys foreign subsidiaries at September 28, 2012. The repatriation of cash held in non-U.S. jurisdictions is subject to local capital requirements, as well as income tax considerations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations. We generated $692 million of cash from operating activities from continuing operations during the 2012 Year-to-Date Period. Significant cash used during the 2012 Year-to-Date Period included $349 million for the KEO, MAVCO and Link U.K. business acquisitions, $504 million to repurchase shares of our common stock, and $149 million for dividends. Also, as discussed under Overview and Outlook Spin-off of Engility, L-3 received a cash contribution of $335 million as a result of the spin-off, a portion of which was used to redeem $250 million of the 2015 Notes.
As of September 28, 2012, we also had $997 million of borrowings available under our $1 billion Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility after reductions of $3 million for outstanding letters of credit, subject to certain conditions. Our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility expires on February 3, 2017. We currently believe that our cash from operating activities, together with our cash on hand, and available borrowings under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate for the foreseeable future to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, defined benefit plan contributions, commitments, contingencies, research and development expenditures, business acquisitions (depending on the size), contingent purchase price payments on previous business acquisitions, program and other discretionary investments, interest payments, income tax payments, L-3 Holdings dividends and share repurchases.
However, our business may not continue to generate cash flow at current levels. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may be required to reduce costs and expenses, sell
46
assets, reduce capital expenditures, reduce dividend payments, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis, on satisfactory terms, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the U.S. defense industry and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.
Balance Sheet
Billed receivables decreased by $141 million to $962 million at September 28 2012, from $1,103 million at December 31, 2011 due to lower sales primarily for NSS, logistics support services, Warrior Systems and Marine & Power Systems, and the timing of billings and collections primarily for ISR systems and Simulation and Training. These decreases were partially offset by $37 million of acquired billed receivables from the KEO, MAVCO and Link U.K. business acquisitions.
Contracts in process increased by $488 million to $2,839 million at September 28, 2012, from $2,351 million at December 31, 2011. The increase included $97 million of acquired contracts in process from the KEO and Link U.K. business acquisitions, $6 million of foreign currency translation adjustments and $385 million from:
|
Increase of $172 million in unbilled contract receivables primarily due to liquidation of progress payments for delivery of simulation & training devices and sales exceeding billings for networked communication systems and AM&M. |
|
Increase of $213 million in inventoried contract costs primarily due to Australian C-27J aircraft, spare parts for logistics support services and the timing of deliveries for networked communication systems and Precision Engagement products. |
L-3s receivables days sales outstanding (DSO) was 75 at September 28, 2012, compared with 73 at December 31, 2011 and 74 at September 30, 2011. The increase in DSO was primarily due to the increase in our net unbilled contract receivables. We calculate our DSO by dividing: (1) our aggregate end of period billed receivables and net unbilled contract receivables, by (2) our trailing 12 month sales adjusted, on a pro forma basis, to include sales from business acquisitions and exclude sales from business divestitures that we completed as of the end of the period, multiplied by the number of calendar days in the trailing 12 month period (364 days at September 28, 2012, 365 days at December 31, 2011 and 371 days at September 30, 2011). Our trailing 12 month pro forma sales were $13,342 million at September 28, 2012, $13,169 million at December 31, 2011 and $13,315 million at September 30, 2011.
The increase in inventories was primarily due to higher inventory for Security and Detection Systems, Warrior Systems and Microwave Products to support customer demand.
Goodwill increased by $233 million to $7,705 million at September 28, 2012 from $7,472 million at December 31, 2011. The table below presents the changes in goodwill by segment.

(2) |
The increases in goodwill presented in the Electronic Systems, AM&M and NSS segments were due primarily to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, Canadian dollar and British pound during the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2012. |

Effective January 1, 2012, we re-aligned a business units management and organizational structure, as discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and made a reclassification of goodwill between the Electronic Systems and C 3 ISR segments during the quarter ended March 30, 2012. |
The increase in identifiable intangible assets was due to the recognition of $53 million of customer contractual relationships and technology intangibles due primarily to the KEO and Link U.K. business acquisitions, partially offset by amortization expense.
The fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued expenses were primarily due to the timing of when invoices for purchases from third party vendors and subcontractors were received and payments were made. The KEO, MAVCO and Link U.K. business acquisitions increased accounts payable by $22 million and accrued expenses by $11 million.
The increase in advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred was primarily due to cash collections on performance based billings related to contracts with foreign customers for Platform Systems and Precision Engagement, and $46 million of acquired balances from the KEO and Link U.K. business acquisitions.
The decrease in other current liabilities was primarily due to the costs incurred against contracts in process in a loss position and the payments of previously accrued legal settlements.
The decrease in pension and postretirement benefit plan liabilities was primarily due to cash contributions exceeding pension expense (excluding amortization of net losses) during the 2012 Year-to-Date Period. We expect to contribute cash of approximately $174 million to our pension plans for all of 2012, of which $138 million was contributed during the 2012 Year-to-Date Period.
Non-current deferred income tax liabilities increased primarily due to amortization of certain goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets for tax purposes.
The increase in other liabilities was primarily due to a note payable entered into during the 2012 Year-to-Date Period for the purchase of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software licenses and higher accrued product warranty costs.

Operating Activities Continuing Operations
We generated $692 million of cash from operating activities during the 2012 Year-to-Date, a decrease of $57 million compared with $749 million generated during the 2011 Year-to-Date Period. The decrease was due to: (1) a decrease in income from continuing operations of $37 million, (2) lower non-cash expenses of $8 million, and (3) $12 million of more cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily due to higher income tax payments partially offset by lower interest payments. The net cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities is further discussed above under Liquidity and Capital Resources Balance Sheet.

Investing Activities Continuing Operations
During the 2012 Year-to-Date Period, we used $137 million of cash, including $349 million primarily for the KEO, MAVCO and Link U.K. business acquisitions, and $124 million for capital expenditures. The 2012 Year-to-Date Period includes the cash contribution of $335 million that we received from Engility due to the spin-off.

Debt
At September 28, 2012, total outstanding debt was $3,878 million, of which $2,940 million was senior debt and $938 million was subordinated debt and CODES, compared to $4,125 million at December 31, 2011, of which $2,938 million was senior debt and $1,187 million was subordinated debt and CODES. At September 28, 2012, available borrowings under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility were $997 million, after reductions for outstanding letters of credit of $3 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility at September 28, 2012. Our outstanding debt matures between October 15, 2015 and August 1, 2035. See Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report for the components of our debt at September 28, 2012.
2012 Debt Redemptions. On July 26, 2012 (the redemption date), L-3 Communications used a portion of the proceeds from the spin-off of Engility to redeem $250 million of its 2015 Notes at a redemption price of 102.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the redemption date. In connection with the redemption of the 2015 Notes, we recorded a debt retirement charge of $8 million ($5 million after income taxes, or $0.05 per diluted share).
On October 15, 2012 (the redemption date), L-3 Communications redeemed the remaining outstanding $250 million of its 2015 Notes at a redemption price of 101.063%, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, we will record a debt retirement charge of approximately $5 million ($3 million after income tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) in the quarter ending December 31, 2012.
Debt Covenants and Other Provisions. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility, senior notes and senior subordinated notes contain financial and/or other restrictive covenants. See Note 10 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a description of our debt and related financial covenants, including dividend payment and share repurchase restrictions and cross default provisions. As of September 28, 2012, we were in compliance with our financial and other restrictive covenants.
Under select conditions, including if L-3 Holdings common stock price is more than 120% (currently $110.60) of the then current conversion price (currently $92.17) for a specified period, the conversion feature of the CODES will require L-3 Holdings, upon conversion, to pay the holders of the CODES the principal amount in cash, and if the settlement amount exceeds the principal amount, the excess will be settled in cash or stock or a combination thereof, at our option. See Note 10 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information regarding the CODES, including conditions for conversion. L-3 Holdings closing stock price on November 2, 2012 was $75.85 per share.
Guarantees. The borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by L-3 Holdings and by substantially all of the material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of L-3 Communications on an unsecured senior basis. The payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior basis, jointly and severally, by L-3 Communications material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of its other indebtedness. The payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by L-3 Communications wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of its other indebtedness. The payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the CODES are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by L-3 Communications and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of its other liabilities.
49
Prior to the spin-off of Engility Holdings, Inc., which was completed on July 17, 2012, Engility Holdings, Inc., Engility Corporation, International Resources Group Ltd. and LinCom Wireless, Inc. were guarantor subsidiaries. As a result of the spin-off, these entities no longer guarantee the debt of L-3 Communications or L-3 Holdings.
Subordination. The guarantees of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and the senior notes rank senior to the guarantees of the senior subordinated notes and the CODES and rank pari passu with each other. The guarantees of the senior subordinated notes and CODES rank pari passu with each other and are junior to the guarantees of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and senior notes.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the matters discussed concerning our operations, cash flows, financial position, economic performance and financial condition, including in particular, the likelihood of our success in developing and expanding our business and the realization of sales from backlog, include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to events or conditions or that include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of total sales growth, sales growth from business acquisitions, organic sales growth, consolidated operating margins, total segment operating margins, interest expense, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures and other projections, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties, and therefore, it is possible that these statements may not be achieved. Such statements will also be influenced by factors which include, among other things:
|
our dependence on the defense industry and the business risks peculiar to that industry, including changing priorities or reductions in annual DoD budgets and the outcome of potential additional reductions due to the sequestration process; |
|
backlog processing and program slips resulting from delayed funding of the DoD budget; |
|
our reliance on contracts with a limited number of agencies of, or contractors to, the U.S. Government and the possibility of termination of government contracts by unilateral government action or for failure to perform; |
|
the extensive legal and regulatory requirements surrounding our contracts with the U.S. or foreign governments and the results of any investigation of our contracts undertaken by the U.S. or foreign governments, including potential suspensions or debarments; |
|
our ability to retain our existing business and related contracts (revenue arrangements); |
|
our ability to successfully compete for and win new business and related contracts (revenue arrangements) and to win re-competitions of our existing contracts; |
|
our ability to identify and acquire additional businesses in the future with terms, including the purchase price, that are attractive to L-3 and to integrate acquired business operations; |
|
our ability to maintain and improve our consolidated operating margin and total segment operating margin in future periods; |
|
our ability to obtain future government contracts (revenue arrangements) on a timely basis; |
|
the availability of government funding and changes in customer requirements for our products and services; |
|
our significant amount of debt and the restrictions contained in our debt agreements; |
|
our ability to continue to retain and train our existing employees and to recruit and hire new qualified and skilled employees, as well as our ability to retain and hire employees with U.S. Government security clearances that are a prerequisite to compete for and to perform work on classified contracts for the U.S. Government; |
|
actual future interest rates, volatility and other assumptions used in the determination of pension benefits and equity-based compensation, as well as the market performance of benefit plan assets; |
|
our collective bargaining agreements, our ability to successfully negotiate contracts with labor unions and our ability to favorably resolve labor disputes should they arise; |
|
the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which we operate, including those for the commercial aviation, shipbuilding and communications markets; |
|
global economic uncertainty; |
51
|
the DoDs contractor support services in-sourcing and efficiency initiatives; |
|
events beyond our control such as acts of terrorism; |
|
our ability to perform contracts (revenue arrangements) on schedule; |
|
our international operations, including sales to foreign customers; |
|
our extensive use of fixed-price type contracts as compared to cost-plus type and time-and-material type contracts; |
|
the rapid change of technology and high level of competition in the defense industry and the commercial industries in which our businesses participate; |
|
our introduction of new products into commercial markets or our investments in civil and commercial products or companies; |
|
the outcome of litigation matters, particularly in connection with jury trials; |
|
results of audits by U.S. Government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, of our sell prices, costs and performance on contracts (revenue arrangements), and our accounting and general business practices; |
|
the impact on our business of improper conduct by our employees, agents, or business partners; |
|
anticipated cost savings from business acquisitions not fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; |
|
the outcome of matters relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and similar non-U.S. regulations; |
|
ultimate resolution of contingent matters, claims and investigations relating to acquired businesses, and the impact on the final purchase price allocations; |
|
significant increase in competitive pressure among companies in our industry; and |
|
the fair values of our assets, including identifiable intangible assets and the estimated fair value of the goodwill balances for our reporting units, which can be impaired or reduced by other factors, some of which are discussed above. |
In addition, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could impair our results of operations or financial condition, see Part I Item 1A Risk Factors and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements, in each case included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Readers of this document are cautioned that our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 related to L-3 Holdings and L-3 Communications is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 28, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 28, 2012, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 28, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(ii) With respect to all Third Party Policies, from and after the Effective Time, the agent for the applicable policy shall be responsible for the Insurance Administration of such Third Party Policies; provided , that the retention of such administrative responsibilities by an agent of L-3 is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under such Third Party Policies as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement; provided , further , that the retention of such administrative responsibilities by an agent of L-3 shall not relieve the Person submitting any Insured Claim of the primary responsibility for reporting such Insured Claim accurately, completely and in a timely manner, or of such Persons authority to settle any such Insured Claim within any period permitted or required by the relevant Third Party Policy, or of such Persons responsibility for obtaining and reviewing the appropriateness of any releases upon settlement of any such Insured Claim.
(iii) Where Spinco Liabilities are specifically covered under a Third Party Policy for periods prior to the Effective Time, or where such Third Party Policy covers claims made after the Effective Time with respect to an occurrence prior to the Effective Time, then from and after the Effective Time, Spinco may claim coverage for Insured Claims under such Third Party Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the applicable limits of liability of such Third Party Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b)(v)), subject to the terms of this Section 4.03(b); provided , that nothing in this Section 4.03(b) shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) an assignment of the Third Party Policies, or any of them, to Spinco.

32
indemnified party in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses arising thereunder, each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Indemnifiable Losses, in proportion to the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Indemnifiable Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to Information supplied by Spinco or L-3, the Parties relative intents, knowledge, access to Information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.
Section 6.05 Insurance and Third Party Obligations . No insurer or any other third-party shall be, by virtue of the foregoing indemnification provisions (a) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of such provisions, (b) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims to which it is obligated or (c) entitled to any subrogation rights with respect to any obligation hereunder.
Section 6.06 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts on a Net Tax Benefit Basis .
(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VI will be (i) net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability, (ii) net of any proceeds received by an Indemnified Party from any third-party for indemnification for such Liability that actually reduce the amount of the Liability ( Third Party Proceeds ), (iii) reduced by any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (calculated on a with and without basis) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Liability and (iv) increased by any Tax detriment actually incurred by the Indemnified Party (calculated on a with and without basis) as a result of the receipt or accrual of the Indemnity Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Liability. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article VI to any Indemnified Party will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds, Tax benefits actually realized or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability, and shall be increased by any Tax detriments actually incurred. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an Indemnity Payment ) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made. If a Tax benefit or Tax detriment is actually realized or incurred after the payment of any Indemnity Payment hereunder, the Indemnified or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the amount of any such Tax benefit or Tax detriment when actually realized or incurred. Adjustments will be made if any such Tax benefits are disallowed or such Tax detriments are not ultimately incurred.
(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided , that the Indemnified Partys inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Partys obligations hereunder.
33
Section 6.07 Notice and Payment of Claims . If any L-3 Indemnitee or Spinco Indemnitee (the Indemnified Party ) determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by a Party (the Indemnifying Party ) under this Article VI (other than in connection with any Action or claim subject to Section 6.08), the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified; provided , that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such written notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
Section 6.08 Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims . Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third-party of any Third Party Claim or (b) receipt of Information from a third-party alleging the existence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.08 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. The Indemnifying Party may, at its option, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party acknowledging, as between the Parties, Liability for such Third Party Claim, elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense; provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (i) is an allegation of a criminal violation or (ii) seeks injunctive relief against the L-3 Indemnitee or Spinco Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Partys sole cost and expense; provided , further , that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Partys expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided , that the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such settlement pursuant to which any remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has acknowledged Liability for indemnification under Article VI, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 6.09 Indemnification Payments . Indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred; provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within 15 days after the final resolution of any Third Party Claim (whether by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged Liability, within 30 days after such Indemnifying Partys objection has been resolved by settlement, compromise or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) In connection with the assumption by Engility or its Affiliate, each Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award shall be adjusted into an option award or restricted stock unit award, as applicable, with respect to shares of Engility Common Stock, having the same intrinsic value as the applicable L-3 Equity Compensation Award, as determined using an exchange ratio ( Exchange Ratio ) equal to (i) the closing price of a share of L-3 Common Stock on the Distribution Date based on regular way trading divided by (ii) the opening price of a share of Engility Common Stock on the first day after the Distribution Date on which Engility Common Stock trades on a regular way basis, rounded down to six decimal places.
(c) With respect to any Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award that is a stock option, (A) the per share exercise price shall be adjusted to be equal to (1) the per share exercise price of the corresponding L-3 Option, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and (B) the number of shares of Engility Common Stock subject to such Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award shall also be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of L-3 Common Stock subject to such award by the Exchange Ratio, with the product rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(d) With respect to any Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award that is a restricted stock unit, the number of units of Engility Common Stock subject to each such Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award shall be adjusted to be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of L-3 Common Stock subject to the corresponding L-3 RSU, and (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole unit.
(e) Prior to the Distribution, Engility shall establish equity compensation plans, so that upon the Distribution, Engility shall have in effect an equity compensation plan containing substantially the same terms as each original L-3 equity compensation plan under which any Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award was granted. From and after the Distribution, each Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award shall be subject to the terms of the applicable Engility equity compensation plan, the award agreement governing such Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award and any Employment Agreement to which the applicable Engility Employee or Engility Ex-Employee is a party. From and after the Distribution, Engility shall retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Converted Engility Equity Compensation Awards. Effective as of the Distribution, each Engility Employee and Engility Ex-Employee shall cease participation in all
14
L-3 equity compensation plans. In all events, the adjustments to the Converted Engility Equity Compensation Awards provided for in this Section 8.1 shall be made in a manner that, as determined by L-3, avoids adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A.
Section 8.2. Vesting and Other Terms and Conditions . Each Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award shall have the same vesting schedule, expiration date (if applicable), delivery date (if applicable), and such other terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the conversion, as such terms were applicable to the corresponding L-3 Equity Compensation Award, including, without limitation, credit for any accruals as of the Distribution Date for accumulated and unpaid dividends on any L-3 RSU award converted as of the Distribution Date, in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements governing the L-3 RSU and corresponding Converted Engility Equity Compensation Award.
Section 8.3. Tax Withholding and Reporting . Effective from and after the Distribution, Engility shall be solely responsible for all Tax withholding obligations with respect to the Converted Engility Equity Compensation Awards.

Section 9.2. Benefit Plan Third-Party Claims . In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provision on the one hand, and the Distribution Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements on the other hand, the following provision shall control over the inconsistent provisions to the extent of the inconsistency:
If a Third-Party Claim relates solely to the Benefit Plan of the Indemnifying Party, Engility and L-3 shall take all actions necessary to substitute the Indemnifying Party and/or the relevant Benefit Plan of the Indemnifying Party as the proper party for such Third-Party Claim. If the Third-Party Claim relates to both an Engility Benefit Plan and a L-3 Benefit Plan, Engility and L-3 shall take all actions necessary to separate or otherwise partition the Third-Party Claim so as to allow each party to solely defend the claim relating to its own Benefit Plan (unless the parties mutually agree that such a separation or partition is unnecessary or inadvisable). If the Third-Party Claim cannot be transferred to the Indemnifying Party or separated or partitioned so as to allow each party to solely defend the claim relating to its own Benefit Plan, then L-3 shall defend the Third-Party Claim and Engility may elect to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim at its own expense (including allocated costs of Engility in-house counsel and other Engility personnel).

SECTION 2.1. Payment of Taxes .
(a) Income Taxes . With respect to any Income Tax Return required to be filed after the Distribution Date, the Party responsible for the filing thereof pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall pay to the relevant Taxing Authority all Taxes due or payable in connection with filing such Income Tax Return and shall be entitled to any refunds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any similar credit or offset against Taxes) in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) L-3 shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, Taxes with respect to any Covered Spinco State Income Tax Return and (ii) with respect to any state or local Income Tax Return of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary for any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Distribution Date, L-3 shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, Taxes relating to the portion of the taxable period ending on or before the Distribution Date and Spinco shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, Taxes relating to the portion of the taxable period beginning after the Distribution Date. For the purpose of (ii) above, Taxes shall be apportioned between the two portions of such taxable period in accordance with the Closing of the Books Method.
(b) Adjusted Income Taxes . Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), in the event of any subsequent adjustment to the amount of any Income Taxes relating to a taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date, Spinco shall be liable for its share of any increase in Taxes and shall be entitled to its share of any refunds (Spincos share of any increase in Taxes or refunds, Spincos Share ), and L-3 shall be liable for all other increases in Taxes and shall be entitled to all other refunds. Spincos Share shall be determined in the reasonable discretion of L-3 in accordance with the following principles:
(i) In the case of any Income Tax Return that relates solely to the Spinco Business, Spincos Share shall include any increase in Taxes or refunds attributable to such Income Tax Return; and
(ii) In the case of any Income Tax Return that relates to both the Spinco Business and the L-3 Business, Spincos Share shall be determined by comparing the amount of Taxes that would be owed on (x) Tax items relating to the Spinco Business and (y) Tax items not specifically related to either the Spinco Business or the L-3 Business (including, without limitation, corporate overhead) allocable to Spinco based on a methodology reasonably determined by L-3, with and without the adjustments relating to the items listed in (x) and (y) above.
(c) Other Taxes . Spinco shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, all Other Taxes (excluding any such Taxes covered by Section 4.4 (g)) which Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary is required to pay, or is entitled to receive, after the Distribution Date under applicable law. L-3 shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, all Other Taxes (excluding any such Taxes covered by Section 4.4 (g)) which L-3 or any L-3 Subsidiary is required to pay, or is entitled to receive, after the Distribution Date under applicable law.
(d) Distribution Taxes . Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1 to the contrary, and except as provided in Article IV, L-3 shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, any Income
4
Taxes imposed or incurred as a result of (i) the Distribution failing to qualify under Section 355 of the Code, (ii) the stock of Spinco distributed in the Distribution failing to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Section 355(d) or 355(e) of the Code or (iii) L-3 otherwise recognizing any gain in connection with the Distribution (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the related internal transactions described in the Ruling).
(e) State Combinations . Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1 to the contrary, L-3 shall be liable for any incremental state Income Taxes, and shall be entitled to receive the benefit of any reduction in state Income Taxes, resulting from a Final Determination after the Distribution Date requiring L-3 or any of its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Subsidiaries of L-3 before the Distribution Date) that file on a separate basis to file a combined, consolidated, or unitary group Tax Return for a taxable period beginning before the Distribution Date.
SECTION 2.2. Indemnity .
(a) Subject to Article IV, L-3 shall indemnify Spinco from all liability for Taxes for which L-3 is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.
(b) Spinco shall indemnify L-3 from all liability for Taxes for which Spinco is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the indemnifying Party shall pay to the indemnified Party the amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (b) above within fifteen (15) days of being notified of the amount due by the indemnified Party, but no earlier than two Business Days prior to the date payment of such amount is required to be made to the applicable Taxing Authority. The notice by the indemnified Party requesting such payment shall be accompanied by the calculations and other information used to determine the indemnifying Partys obligations hereunder. Such payment shall be paid by the indemnifying Party to the indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the indemnified Party by written notice to the indemnifying Party prior to the due date of such payment.
(d) If an adjustment to Income Taxes pursuant to a Final Determination in a Proceeding results in an adjustment described in Section 2.1(b), the indemnifying Party shall pay to the indemnified Party the amount computed pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within fifteen (15) days of the Final Determination, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
SECTION 2.3. Contests .
(a) Subject to Article IV, the right to control the conduct of any Proceeding shall belong to the Party responsible, pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, for the filing of the Tax Return to which such Proceeding relates; provided, however, that any Income Tax Proceeding commencing before the Distribution Date shall be controlled by L-3. If the Party not controlling a Proceeding could have an indemnification obligation for an adjustment to Tax pursuant to such Proceeding, such Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) such Proceeding at its own cost and expense.
(b) After the Distribution Date, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon receipt of written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding or of any demand or claim upon it, which, if determined adversely, would be grounds for indemnification from such other Party pursuant to Section 2.2 or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse Tax effect on the other Party. Each Party shall, on a timely basis, keep the other Party informed of all developments in the Proceeding and provide such other Party with copies of all pleadings, briefs, orders, and other correspondence pertaining thereto.
5
SECTION 2.4. Treatment of Payments; After Tax Basis .
(a) L-3 and Spinco agree to treat any indemnification payments (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(c)) pursuant to this Agreement as either a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, between L-3 and Spinco occurring immediately prior to the Distribution. If the receipt or accrual of any such payment (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(c)) results in taxable income to the indemnified Party, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the indemnified Party shall have realized the same net amount it would have realized had the payment not resulted in taxable income.
(b) To the extent that any liability for Taxes, that is subject to indemnification under Section 2.2, gives rise to a deduction, credit or other Tax benefit to the indemnified Party, the amount of any payment made under Section 2.2 shall be decreased by taking into account any actual reduction in Taxes of the indemnified Party resulting from such Tax benefit. If a reduction in Taxes of the indemnified Party occurs in a taxable period following the period in which the indemnification payment is made, the indemnified Party shall promptly repay the indemnifying Party the amount of such reduction when actually realized.
(c) Payments made pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within the period prescribed in this Agreement or, if no period is prescribed, within thirty (30) days after demand for payment is made (the Payment Period ) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the last date of the Payment Period through and including the date of payment at a rate of simple interest per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due.
ARTICLE III. PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS
SECTION 3.1. L-3s Responsibility for the Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns .
(a) L-3 shall prepare or cause to be prepared (i) all Consolidated Returns, (ii) all other Tax Returns that it is legally obligated to file after the Distribution Date according to the laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction and (iii) all Covered Spinco State Income Tax Returns; provided, however, that Spinco shall have the right to review and comment with respect to items on such Tax Returns if and to the extent such items directly relate to Taxes for which Spinco would be liable under Section 2.1, such comment not to be unreasonably rejected. L-3 shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns referred to in (i) and (ii) above and shall submit all Tax Returns referred to in (iii) above to Spinco for filing pursuant to Section 3.2.
(b) To the extent that Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary is included in any Consolidated Return for a taxable period that includes the Distribution Date, L-3 shall include in such Consolidated Return the results of Spinco and the Spinco Subsidiaries on the basis of the closing of the books method as provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(i).
SECTION 3.2. Spincos Responsibility for the Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns . Spinco shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns that it is legally obligated to file after the Distribution Date according to the laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction, other than Covered Spinco State Income Tax Returns; provided, however, that L-3 shall have the right to review and comment with respect to items on such Tax Returns if and to the extent such items directly relate to Taxes for which L-3 would be liable under Section 2.1, such comment not to be unreasonably rejected. Spinco shall file or
6
cause to be filed all Tax Returns that it is legally obligated to file after the Distribution Date according to the laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Covered Spinco State Income Tax Returns prepared by L-3 pursuant to Section 3.1(a)).
SECTION 3.3. Manner of Preparation .
(a) To the extent permitted by law, any taxable period of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary for any state or local Income Tax purposes that would otherwise include but not end on the Distribution Date shall be bifurcated into two separate taxable periods, one ending on the Distribution Date and the other beginning on the day following the Distribution Date (each a Stub Taxable Period ), and a separate Income Tax Return for each Stub Taxable Period shall be prepared and filed by the Party responsible for such preparation and filing pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
(b) To the extent any Tax Return required to be prepared by L-3 pursuant to Section 3.1 contains items relating to the Spinco Business or any Tax Return required to by prepared by Spinco pursuant to Section 3.2 contains items relating to the L-3 Business, the Party not responsible for preparing such Tax Return (the Included Party ) shall, at its own cost and expense, prepare and deliver to the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return (the Preparing Party ) a true and correct accounting of all relevant Tax Items relating to the Included Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) for the taxable period covered by such Tax Return (a Tax Package ). Such Tax Package shall be provided in a timely manner consistent with the past practices of the Parties and their Affiliates. In the event an Included Party does not fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Section 3.3(b), the Preparing Party shall be entitled, at the sole cost and expense of the Included Party, to prepare or cause to be prepared the information required to be included in the Tax Package for purposes of preparing any such Tax Return.
(c) All Tax Returns for taxable periods beginning before the Distribution Date that are required to be filed after the Distribution Date shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices (e.g., accounting methods and accelerating deductions through bonus depreciation or otherwise) and the Preparing Party shall, at the Included Partys request, share with the Included Party any part of such Tax Returns relating to the Included Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) after the filing thereof.
(d) All Income Tax Returns filed on or after the Distribution Date shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the Ruling and the Opinion, or any other rulings obtained from other Taxing Authorities in connection with the Distribution (in the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary) and shall be filed on a timely basis (including pursuant to extensions) by the Party responsible for such filing pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2. In the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary or a change in law, all Income Tax Returns of Spinco and its Subsidiaries for taxable periods beginning before the Distribution Date shall be prepared consistent with the Tax Returns of the Affiliated Group.
(e) Except to the extent required by law, Spinco shall not amend any Income Tax Return relating to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before to the Distribution Date without the written consent of L-3, not to be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 3.4. Carrybacks . To the extent permitted by law, Spinco and its Subsidiaries shall elect to forego a carryback of any net operating losses, capital losses or credits for any taxable period ending after the Distribution Date to a taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Spinco and its Subsidiaries shall not have any right to receive the benefit of any carryback of Tax attributes created in a taxable period beginning after the Distribution Date into a Consolidated Return.
7
SECTION 3.5. Retention of Records; Access .
(a) L-3 and Spinco shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, retain adequate records, documents, accounting data and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns required to be filed by L-3 or Spinco and for any Proceeding relating to such Tax Returns or to any Taxes payable by L-3 or Spinco.
(b) L-3 and Spinco shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide reasonable access to (i) all records, documents, accounting data and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns required to be filed by L-3 or Spinco and for any Proceeding relating to such Tax Returns or to any Taxes payable by L-3 or Spinco and (ii) its personnel and premises, for the purpose of the preparation, review or audit of such Tax Returns, or in connection with any Proceeding, as reasonably requested by either L-3 or Spinco.
(c) The obligations set forth above in Sections 3.5(a) and 3.5(b) shall continue until the longer of (i) the time of a Final Determination or (ii) expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations, to which the records and information relate. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each Party shall assume that no applicable statute of limitations has expired unless such Party has received notification or otherwise has actual knowledge that such statute of limitations has expired.
SECTION 3.6. Confidentiality; Ownership of Information; Privileged Information . The provisions of Article XI of the Distribution Agreement relating to confidentiality of information, ownership of information, privileged information and related matters shall apply with equal force to any records and information prepared and/or shared by and among the Parties in carrying out the intent of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV. DISTRIBUTION AND RELATED TAX MATTERS
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Article IV shall govern all matters among the parties hereto related to an Indemnified Liability.
SECTION 4.1. Compliance with the Ruling and the Opinion . L-3 and Spinco hereby confirm and agree to comply with any and all covenants, agreements and representations in the Ruling and the Opinion applicable to L-3 and Spinco, respectively.
SECTION 4.2. Opinion Requirement for Major Transactions Undertaken by Spinco During the Restricted Period . Other than pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement, Spinco agrees that during the Restricted Period it will not (i) merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, (ii) liquidate or partially liquidate (within the meaning of such terms as defined in Section 346 and Section 302, respectively, of the Code), (iii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 77-37, 1977-2 C.B. 568) in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or sell or transfer any portion of Spincos assets that would violate the continuity of business enterprise requirement of Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-1(d), (iv) redeem or otherwise repurchase any of its capital stock other than pursuant to open market stock repurchase programs meeting the requirements of section 4.05(1)(b) of Rev. Proc. 96-30, 1996-1 C.B. 696, (v) cease the active conduct of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 355(b) of the Code, (vi) enter into any negotiations, agreements or arrangements with respect to transactions or events (including any transactions described in Sections 4.2(i)-(iv) (and, for this purpose, including any redemptions made pursuant to open market stock repurchase programs), stock issuances (pursuant to the exercise of options or otherwise), option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, entering into any partnership or joint venture arrangements, or a series of such transactions or events, but excluding the Distribution) that may cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of
8
Spinco representing a 50-percent or greater interest therein within the meaning of Section 355(d)(4) of the Code, or (vii) take any other action, or permit any Spinco Subsidiary to take any such action, where the taking of such action could reasonably be expected to cause the Distribution to fail to qualify under Section 355 of the Code or cause the stock of Spinco distributed in the Distribution to fail to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Section 355(e) of the Code (the acts listed in (i)-(vii) collectively, the Prohibited Acts ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spinco may take any of the Prohibited Acts, subject to Section 4.3, if (x) Spinco first obtains (at its expense) an opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to L-3 of a nationally recognized law firm or a big four accounting firm reasonably acceptable to L-3, which opinion may be based on usual and customary factual representations (reasonably acceptable to L-3) or (y) at Spincos request, L-3 (at the expense of Spinco) obtains a supplemental ruling from the IRS, that such Prohibited Act or Acts, and any transaction related thereto, will not (a) affect any of the conclusions set forth in the Ruling, including (i) the qualification of the Distribution and certain internal transactions preceding the Distribution under Sections 355 and 368 of the Code and (ii) the nonrecognition of gain to L-3 in the Distribution, or (b) cause the stock of Spinco distributed in the Distribution to fail to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Sections 355(d) or 355(e) of the Code. Spinco may also take any of the Prohibited Acts, subject to Section 4.3, with the consent of L-3 in its sole and absolute discretion. During the Restricted Period, Spinco shall provide all information reasonably requested by L-3 relating to any transaction involving an acquisition (directly or indirectly) of Spinco stock within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code.
SECTION 4.3. Indemnification by Spinco . If, after the Distribution, Spinco or any of its Affiliates takes any action or enters into any agreement to take any action, including any of the Prohibited Acts as defined in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, or if there is a breach by Spinco of Section 4.1 hereof, or if there is any direct or indirect acquisition of Spinco stock, and as a result (i) the Distribution shall fail to qualify under Section 355 of the Code, (ii) the stock of Spinco distributed in the Distribution shall fail to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Section 355(d) or 355(e) of the Code or (iii) L-3 otherwise recognizes any gain in connection with the Distribution (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the related internal transactions described in the Ruling), then Spinco shall indemnify and hold harmless L-3 against any and all Taxes imposed upon or incurred by L-3 (and any Taxes of L-3 shareholders to the extent L-3 is liable with respect to such Taxes, whether to a Taxing Authority, to a shareholder or to any other person) as a result, unless such Taxes would, in any event, have been imposed upon or incurred by L-3 without regard to such actions, breaches or events, as determined at such time. L-3 shall be indemnified and held harmless under this Section 4.3 without regard to whether an opinion or supplemental ruling pertaining to the action pursuant to Section 4.2 was obtained, and without regard to whether L-3 gave its consent to such action pursuant to Section 4.2 or otherwise.
SECTION 4.4. Procedural Matters .
(a) Notice . If either Spinco or L-3 receives any written notice of deficiency, claim or adjustment or any other written communication from a Taxing Authority that may result in an Indemnified Liability, the Party receiving such notice or communication shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other Party, provided that any delay by L-3 in so notifying Spinco shall not relieve Spinco of any liability to L-3 hereunder except to the extent Spinco is materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay. L-3 undertakes and agrees that from and after such time as L-3 obtains knowledge that any representative of a Taxing Authority has begun to investigate or inquire into the Distribution (whether or not such investigation or inquiry is a formal or informal investigation or inquiry), L-3 shall (i) notify Spinco thereof, provided that any delay by L-3 in so notifying Spinco shall not relieve Spinco of any liability to L-3 hereunder except to the extent Spinco is materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay, (ii) consult with Spinco from time to time as to the conduct of such investigation or inquiry, (iii) provide Spinco with copies of all correspondence between L-3 or its representatives and such Taxing Authority or any representative thereof pertaining to such investigation or inquiry, (iv) cooperate with
9
Spinco to permit a representative (reasonably satisfactory to L-3) of Spinco to be present at, and participate in (but not control), all meetings with such Taxing Authority or any representative thereof pertaining to such investigation or inquiry, provided, that any costs relating to Spincos representation at such meetings shall be borne by Spinco, and (v) obtain Spincos consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to any final agreement or resolution on any or all related issues, prior to settling or agreeing to finalize any determination which may result in any economic consequence to Spinco.
(b) Tax Proceedings Controlled by L-3 . With respect to any Proceeding that may result in an Indemnified Liability, L-3 shall assume and direct the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, provided that Spinco shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding at its own cost and expense; provided, however, that L-3 shall not settle, compromise or concede any such Proceeding without Spincos consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Tax Proceedings Controlled by Spinco . If Spinco withholds consent to the settlement, compromise or concession of any Proceeding that is the subject of Section 4.4(b), Spinco may, upon confirmation in writing to L-3 that the liability asserted in such Proceeding would, if imposed upon or incurred by L-3 or its Subsidiaries, be an Indemnified Liability, assume and direct the defense or settlement of the Proceeding, subject to the participation and consultation of L-3, provided that, if L-3 reasonably determines that Spinco has failed to prosecute the Proceeding in a reasonable and diligent manner, L-3 may (at Spincos expense and subject to the provisions in Section 4.4(d)) reassume and direct the defense or settlement of the Proceeding. The following provisions shall apply to any Proceeding control of which is assumed by Spinco pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(i) Upon request, during the course of the Proceeding, Spinco shall from time to time furnish L-3 with evidence reasonably satisfactory to L-3 of its ability to pay the full amount of the Indemnified Liability. If at any time during such Proceeding, L-3 reasonably determines, after due investigation, that Spinco may not be able to pay the full amount of the Indemnified Liability, if required, then Spinco shall be required to furnish a guarantee or performance bond satisfactory to L-3 in an amount equal to the amount of the Indemnified Liability asserted by the Taxing Authority. If Spinco fails to furnish such guarantee or bond, L-3 may reassume control of the Proceedings in accordance with Section 4.4(d).
(ii) Spinco shall pay all expenses directly related to the Indemnified Liability, including but not limited to reasonable fees for attorneys, accountants, expert witnesses or other consultants retained by it.
(iii) L-3 shall, at Spincos sole cost (including but not limited to any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by L-3), take such action as Spinco may reasonably request (including but not limited to the execution of powers of attorney for one or more persons designated by Spinco) in contesting the Indemnified Liability. Spinco shall, on a timely basis, keep L-3 informed of all developments in the Proceeding and provide L-3 with copies of all pleadings, briefs, orders, and other written papers pertaining thereto.
(iv) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions herein set forth, Spinco may direct L-3 to settle the Indemnified Liability on such terms and for such amount as Spinco may direct. L-3 may condition such settlement on receipt, prior to the settlement, from Spinco of the indemnity payment with respect to the Indemnified Liability less any amounts to be paid directly by Spinco to the Taxing Authority. Spinco may direct L-3, at Spincos expense, to pay an asserted deficiency for the Indemnified Liability out of funds provided by Spinco, and to file a claim for refund.
10
If Spinco withholds consent to the settlement, compromise or concession of any Proceeding that is the subject of Section 4.4(b) and does not assume control of such Proceeding pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) within thirty (30) days following the request by L-3 for such consent, such Proceeding shall be controlled and directed exclusively by L-3
(d) Resumption by L-3 of Control of Tax Proceedings . With respect to any Proceeding control of which is assumed by Spinco pursuant to Section 4.4(c), should (i) Spinco fail within thirty (30) days following request therefor to furnish to L-3 evidence of its ability to pay the full amount of the Indemnified Liability, (ii) L-3 reasonably believe after due investigation that Spinco may not be able to pay the full amount of the Indemnified Liability, if required, and Spinco fails to furnish a guarantee or performance bond satisfactory to L-3 in an amount equal to the amount of the Indemnified Liability then being asserted by the Taxing Authority, or (iii) L-3 reasonably determine that Spinco has failed to prosecute the Proceeding in a reasonable and diligent manner, then L-3 may reassume control of the Proceeding and may settle such Proceeding in its discretion.
(e) Time and Manner of Payment . Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Spinco shall pay to L-3 the amount with respect to an Indemnified Liability determined pursuant to a Final Determination (less any amount paid directly by Spinco to the Taxing Authority or made available to L-3 under Section 4.4(d)) at least two Business Days prior to the date payment of the Indemnified Liability is required to be made to the Taxing Authority. Such payment shall be paid by Spinco to L-3 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by L-3 by written notice to Spinco prior to the due date of such payment.
(f) Refund of Amounts Paid by Spinco . Should L-3 or any other member of the Affiliated Group receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by Spinco to any Taxing Authority on L-3s behalf or paid by Spinco to L-3 for payment to a Taxing Authority with respect to an Indemnified Liability, or should any such amounts that would otherwise be refundable to L-3 be applied or credited by the Taxing Authority to obligations of L-3 unrelated to an Indemnified Liability, then L-3 shall, promptly following receipt (or notification of credit), remit such refund (including any statutory interest that is included in such refund or credited amount) to Spinco.
(g) Transfer Taxes . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, L-3 shall bear any and all stamp, duty, transfer, sales and use or similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Distribution.
(h) Cooperation . Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, L-3 and Spinco shall reasonably cooperate with one another in a timely manner in any Proceeding involving any matter that may result in an Indemnified Liability. L-3 and Spinco agree that such cooperation shall include, without limitation, making available to the other Party, during normal business hours, all books, records and information, officers and employees (without substantial interruption of employment) necessary or useful in connection with any such judicial or administrative Proceeding. The Party requesting or otherwise entitled to any books, records, information, officers or employees pursuant to this Section 4.4(h) shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (except reimbursement of salaries, employee benefits and general overhead) incurred in connection with providing such books, records, information, officers or employees.
(i) Supplemental Rulings . L-3 shall provide Spinco a copy of and an opportunity to comment upon any supplemental ruling sought from the IRS with respect to the Ruling and no supplemental ruling request shall be made without Spincos consent if such supplemental ruling would materially expand Spincos indemnification obligations under Section 4.3.

(c) either Party (i) is bankrupt or insolvent or takes the benefit of any statute in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors, or (ii) files a proposal or takes any action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction for its dissolution, winding-up or liquidation, or for the liquidation of its assets, or a receiver is appointed in respect of its assets, which order, filing or appointment is not rescinded within 60 days.

Travel Services
Schedule 12.a
Description of Service as of Distribution Date December 31, 2013:
TRAVEL AGENCY (AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL):
Engilty will have access to:
|
A dedicated L-3/Engility team of travel reservation specialists via telephone. Service hours will mirror L-3s current service configuration. |
|
An online dedicated travel reservation tool for the booking of domestic USA & Canada travel reservations as applicable 24 hours a day/7 days a week. |
Services will include all bookings (by telephone or online) of Engility business travel via airline, hotel, car rental, groups/meetings and all other normal travel related services. All current L-3/American Express Travel contract service and performance standards will apply to Engility. Any changes of current practices or procedures need to be approved in advance by the L-3 Director, Global Travel.
Engility will pay a pro-rated share of L-3 s monthly American Express billing costs. The Pro-rata share will be determined as the amount of Engilitys total airfare spent in a given month as a percentage of L-3 s and Engilitys total airfare spend with American Express .
Example : July 1, 2012 thru July 31, 2012 - Total Airfare booked/ticked via American Express = $8.0MM (Engility = $1.2MM and L-3 = $6.8MM) Engility in this example will be billed by L-3 (Not American Express) 15% of our total American Express charges for the month. L-3 can and will provide the monthly American Express billing as backup along with a report run by American Express Travel on a monthly basis breaking out the percentage of each Company. Using Airfares as the measurement is standard travel industry practice.
a) | AIRLINES: |
Engility travelers will utilize L-3 airline contracts based on the understanding by the airline suppliers that the L-3 travel team will be directing and managing the booking process. American Express Travel Agency transaction fees will be passed through from L-3 on a monthly billing statement.
b) | HOTELS: |
All hotel charges are paid directly by Engility travelers and/or Engility.
c) | CAR RENTAL: |
All car rental charges are paid directly by Engility travelers and/or Engility.
d) | OTHER SERVICES: |
All other L-3 current travel supplier contracts will be available to Engility for utilization until December 31, 2013. These additional services include but are not limited to: (a) Negotiated Airport Parking and (b) International VISA Services and Ground Transportation Services.
All travel service benefits will end on December 31, 2013.

WHEREAS , Buyer and Seller have entered into a Distribution Agreement, dated July 16, 2012 (Distribution Agreement), pursuant to which Seller agrees to spinoff a portion of its businesses to Buyer; and
WHEREAS , Buyer and Seller desire to have Seller provide certain goods and services to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1.0 DEFINITIONS
a. Buyer means Engility Corporation and its affiliates, as applicable.
b. Effective Date means the date this Agreement becomes fully binding and enforceable and shall be the same as the Effective Time.
c. Existing Work means agreements for the sale of goods and services between Buyer and Seller that exist as of the Effective Date and which are set forth in Appendix A hereto (including any post-acceptance, contractual obligations/rights arising from such agreements). The agreements for Existing Work are in the form of L-3 inter-divisional work authorizations (IDWA), general ledger transfer arrangements, GSA schedule orders, and purchase orders or subcontracts between Buyer and Seller.
d. Inter-Divisional Work Authorizations (IDWA) means an agreement between Buyer and Seller covering the sale of goods and/or services which, generally, details the scope, pricing and other terms and conditions of such agreement.
e. New Work means any contemplated agreement for the sale of the goods and services between Buyer and Seller which is not a part of the Existing Work and which is a Teaming Commitment.
f. Seller means L-3 Communications Corporation and its affiliates, as applicable.
g. Teaming Agreement means the agreement, substantially in the form of Appendix D hereto, which provides, in part, a binding commitment between Buyer and Seller to either, exclusively or non-exclusively, pursue the capture of certain programs contemplated to be awarded by Buyers customers.

a. Within 30 days after the Effective Date, or such other period of time as the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, Buyer shall issue to Seller a purchase order, or an amendment thereto, for each of the Existing Work as set forth in Appendix A. The terms and conditions of such purchase order shall be based on: (i) the terms and conditions contained in the IDWA or other agreement for Existing Work between the Parties as of the Effective Time, (ii) the terms and conditions required to be flowed down from Buyers prime contract, and (iii) this Agreement and any other terms and conditions mutually agreed to by the Parties. In the event the Parties do not agree on such other terms and conditions referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions contained in the General Terms and Conditions of Purchase attached as Appendix B hereto will apply. The terms and conditions of Article 2.2 a (i) and 2.2 a (ii) above shall take precedence over the terms set forth in Appendix B.
b. In the event the U.S. Government is required to approve or consent to, and the U.S. Government does not approve or consent to, a second tier subcontract for Existing Work, there will be no further liability to the Buyer with respect to the Existing Work covered by the Government decision. Should this occur, the Parties agree to provide, in good faith, any required support.
c. The pricing for Existing Work shall be in accordance with paragraph 2.2 (a) above, the Federal Acquisition Regulations and any other applicable laws or regulations. In addition, for Existing Work set forth on Appendix E, which is Existing Work wherein, in respect of a particular order, Seller is performing all of the Existing Work and Buyer is not performing any of the Existing Work and, further, where Buyer is the selling party in the prime contract for such Existing Work, the pricing for such Existing Work shall require Seller to reimburse Buyer for any and all M&S (Material and Subcontract Handling) and G&A (General and Administrative) costs incurred by the Buyer, solely to the extent such costs cannot be passed along to the Buyers customer. For Existing Work set forth in Appendix E, which is Existing Work wherein, in respect of a particular order, both Buyer and Seller are jointly performing the work, Buyer and Seller will share, in proportion to the profit negotiated for each party, respectively, any M&S and G&A costs which cannot be passed along to the Buyers customer and are in excess of those Buyer and Seller normally would bear, but for the Distribution Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall have ninety (90) days from the Effective Date to complete Appendix E.
2.3. Terms and Conditions for New Work.
a. Buyer shall issue to Seller a purchase order for any New Work.

The terms and conditions pursuant to Articles 2.3 a (i) and 2.3 a (ii) above shall take precedence over the terms set forth in Appendix B.
b. In the event the U.S. Government is required to approve and consent to, and the U.S. Government does not approve or consent to, a second tier subcontract for New Work, there will be no liability to the Buyer with respect to the New Work covered by such Government decision. Should this occur, the Parties agree to provide any required good faith support.
c. The pricing for New Work shall be in accordance with paragraph 2.3 (a) above, the Federal Acquisition Regulations and any other applicable laws or regulations.
2.4. Terms and Condition for Teaming Commitments.
a. Where the Parties have entered into a Teaming Agreement for a Teaming Commitment, the terms and conditions of such agreement shall govern the Teaming Commitment. With respect to all other Teaming Commitments, Buyer and Seller shall enter into a Teaming Agreement, substantially in the form of Appendix D within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, or such other period of time as the Parties may otherwise agree in writing. Where a named party under a Teaming Agreement is an unincorporated division or subsidiary of either Buyer or Seller, Buyer and/or Seller, respectively, shall also be a party to such Teaming Agreement. Such Teaming Agreements shall be either non-exclusive or exclusive, as expressly set forth in Appendix C hereto provided, however, with respect to an exclusive teaming agreement, the exclusivity provision shall only apply to the named unincorporated division or subsidiary of each party.

This Agreement, including Appendices and the Distribution Agreement (including the other agreements attached as exhibits thereto) constitute the entire understanding between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous communications, representations, or agreements, either oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no representation or statements of any kind made by any representative of Seller or Buyer which are not stated in this Agreement, shall be binding on Seller or Buyer.
9.2. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable, Seller and Buyer agree to use reasonable commercial efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and enforceable provisions that, insofar as practicable, implement the purposes and intent of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.
9.3. Independent Contractors. The Parties hereto shall act in all matters pertaining to this Agreement as independent contractors and nothing contained herein and no action taken with respect to the provisions hereof shall constitute one Party to be the agent, partner or joint venturer of any other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

9.5. Waivers. A waiver of breach, delay or failure to take action with respect to any previous default or failure by a Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or failure by such Party to fulfill such obligations and shall not constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver and/or as a waiver of other subsequent defaults or breaches of the same or other (similar or otherwise) obligations or as a waiver of any remedy available.

5. Proprietary Information:
a. | Proprietary Information shall be any and all business, technical and other information which is identified or labeled as Proprietary or Confidential, whether written, oral or otherwise furnished by one Party (the Disclosing Party) to the other Party (the Receiving Party) and shall include, but not be limited to all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts and records which Receiving Party or its respective agents or employees shall have been furnished or had access to heretofore or hereafter in the course of the Parties discussions. Proprietary Information shall also include information received as a result of plant tours, demonstrations or other visual or audio presentations or verbal disclosures that the Disclosing Party indicates in writing to the Receiving Party no later than thirty (30) business days after conveying such information that it is Proprietary Information. |
b. | The foregoing shall not apply to: |
i. | Information that at the time of disclosure had been previously published and available to the public; |
ii. | Information which is published after disclosure and available to the public, unless such publication is a breach of this Agreement; |
iii. | Information which, prior to disclosure hereunder was already in the possession of the Receiving Party as evidenced by records kept in the ordinary course of business or by proof of actual prior possession; and |
iv. | Information, which subsequent to disclosure hereunder, is obtained from a third person who (insofar as is known) is not in violation of any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation with respect to such information. |
c. | If any exception listed above in §5.b applies to only a portion of any confidential data, the remainder shall continue to be subject to the foregoing prohibitions and restrictions. Proprietary Information is not to be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of the Proprietary Information is embodied in a general disclosure or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public. |
6. Restrictions: Each Party agrees that, during the term of this Agreement it shall: (a) use any Proprietary Information disclosed to it only for the Purpose stated above; (b) not disclose the Proprietary Information to any third party; (c) not disclose the Proprietary Information to any employee who does not have a need-to-know such information; and (d) employ the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Proprietary Information, paying particular attention to avoid disclosing Proprietary Information to employees or parties who may be or are also examining or participating in business opportunities competitive to the Purpose. In no case shall the standard of care with respect to the Proprietary Information be less than reasonable care.
The Receiving Party shall not be liable for inadvertent disclosure or use of information received hereunder if, upon discovery of such, it shall take reasonable steps to prevent any further inadvertent disclosure or unauthorized use. The Receiving Party may make disclosure pursuant to requirements of a solicitation anticipated by the Purpose of this Agreement, provided it is appropriately marked with restrictive legends. If the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, similar process or otherwise), to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing
-Page B-2-
Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive the Receiving Partys compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party shall be, in the written opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Proprietary Information under pain of liability for contempt or other material censure or material penalty, the Receiving Party may disclose such information to such tribunal(s) without liability hereunder. In any event, the Receiving Party shall disclose only so much of the Proprietary Information as it is legally compelled to disclose, and will take reasonable steps to obtain assurances that any Proprietary Information it must disclose will be treated confidentially to the extent possible.
7. Compliance with Export Regulation and Similar Restrictions: All information, including Proprietary Information exchanged hereunder may be subject to restrictions on the exchange imposed by the United States Government. Such restrictions include, but are not limited to: the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 C.F.R. §§120-130), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 C.F.R. §§730-774), laws concerning the disclosure of classified information, and other laws and regulations restricting disclosure. Accordingly, the Parties agree to abide by all such applicable laws and regulations governing the transfer, export, or re-export of technical data, including all amendments thereto. Technical data that is controlled by the ITAR, EAR, or other applicable export restrictions shall not be released to foreign nationals, including foreign national employees of US companies, foreign companies, or other entities without first obtaining the appropriate export license or other approval from the U.S. Government.
8. Other Rights and Obligations: Except as expressly set forth herein, no license is either granted or implied in the Proprietary Information, patents, inventions, copyrights, or trademarks of either Party. Communications from either Party shall not be in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall at the option of the disclosing Party either promptly destroy the disclosing Partys Proprietary Information and certify its destruction, or promptly return it to the disclosing Party. Neither Party is required by this Agreement to disclose Proprietary Information to the other Party; all such disclosures are at the sole discretion of the Disclosing Party. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or business relationship between the parties.
9. Warranties: Each Party warrants that it has the right to make the disclosures under this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, NO OTHER WARRANTIES ARE MADE BY EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ANY INFORMATION EXCHANGED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS PROVIDED AS IS .
10. Disputes and Governing Law: It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement be construed, interpreted, and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of New York exclusive of its conflicts of law rules. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in State of New York, and the parties hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. To the extent that the laws, rules, and regulations for U.S. Government procurement apply, then the laws commonly referred to as
-Page B-3-
U.S. Government contract law shall apply. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to settle any dispute under this agreement including where appropriate referral to higher management for resolution.
11. Remedies: The Parties acknowledge that due to the unique nature of the Information, any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party, for which a remedy at law may be inadequate. Therefore, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable or injunctive relief, in addition to other remedies to which it may be entitled at law or equity. In any action for equitable relief, the Parties agree to waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or security.
12. Termination: This Agreement, unless extended by the Parties in writing, shall terminate at the end of the term specified in §3, provided however, that either Party may terminate this Agreement before that date by thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the other Party. No termination shall affect either Partys obligations and rights herein with respect to information disclosed prior to termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after written request therefore) return to the Disclosing Party, all information embodied in writings, drawings, or the like including all copies thereof, submitted or made available by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, its affiliates or subsidiaries or the Receiving Party shall certify as to the destruction thereof to the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding such return, the Receiving Party and its respective agents and employees shall hold in confidence all Proprietary Information according to the terms of this Agreement.
13. Relationship to Related Contracts: If the Parties hereinafter enter into a contract that requires or permits use or disclosure of Proprietary Information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement, the terms of such contract requiring or permitting such use or disclosure shall to that extent, supersede the provisions of this Agreement.
14. Agreement:
a. | Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties hereto relative to the disclosure of Proprietary Information covered by this Agreement, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous understandings, commitments, or agreements, written or oral, regarding such information. The Agreement shall not be varied, except by an instrument in writing of subsequent date duly executed by an authorized representative of each Party. This Agreement shall apply in lieu of, and notwithstanding the language of, any specific legend or statement associated with any particular information or data exchanged, and the obligations of the Parties shall be determined exclusively by this Agreement. |
b. | Execution: The Parties agree that this Agreement may be executed by fax, email, or similar electronic means and shall be as effective as and as binding as if the Agreement was executed with original signatures. The Parties also agree that this Agreement may be executed in duplicate, with each Party retaining one original. |
c. |
Waiver: Failure by either party hereto to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, or any right with respect thereto, or failure to exercise any election provided for herein, shall in no way be considered a waiver of such provisions, rights |
-Page B-4-
or elections, or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The failure by either party hereto to enforce any of said provisions, rights or elections shall not prejudice such party from later enforcing or exercising same or any other provisions, rights or elections which it may have under this Agreement |
d. | Invalid Terms: If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or otherwise invalid or unenforceable under applicable present or future laws or regulations, that provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement, and so much of the remainder of this Agreement as shall otherwise remain intelligible shall be given full force and effect and shall bind the Parties. |
e. | Assignment: Neither Party shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except as provided hereafter, any attempted assignment or transfer by any Party, or occurring by virtue of the purported operation of law, shall be void. A change of corporate name by a Party, merger or other corporate reorganization (provided that the Party remains the surviving entity) or the sale by a Party of all or substantially all of its assets shall not be deemed an assignment or transfer hereunder. |
f. | Specific Parties: This Agreement only binds the Parties named hereto. It is not intended and does not bind any other entity owned in whole or in part by of L-3 Communications Corporation, including, but not limited to subsidiaries, affiliated companies, joint ventures, or corporations. |

This MASTER SUPPLY AGREEMENT (Agreement) is made by and between L-3 Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation with its principal office located at 600 Third Avenue, New York, New York, 10016 (Buyer) and Engility Corporation, a Delaware corporation with its principal office located at 3750 Centerview Drive, Chantilly, Virginia 20151 (Seller) (collectively the Parties).
WHEREAS , Buyer and Seller have entered into a Distribution Agreement, dated July 16, 2012 (Distribution Agreement), pursuant to which Buyer agrees to spinoff a portion of its businesses to Seller; and
WHEREAS , Buyer and Seller desire to have Seller provide certain goods and services to Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1.0 DEFINITIONS
a. Buyer means L-3 Communications Corporation and its affiliates, as applicable.
b. Effective Date means the date this Agreement becomes fully binding and enforceable and shall be the same as the Effective Time.
c. Existing Work means agreements for the sale of goods and services between Buyer and Seller that exist as of the Effective Date and which are set forth in Appendix A hereto (including any post-acceptance, contractual obligations/rights arising from such agreements). The agreements for Existing Work are in the form of L-3 inter-divisional work authorizations (IDWA), general ledger transfer arrangements, GSA schedule orders, and purchase orders or subcontracts between Buyer and Seller.
d. Inter-Divisional Work Authorizations (IDWA) means an agreement between Buyer and Seller covering the sale of goods and/or services which, generally, details the scope, pricing and other terms and conditions of such agreement.
e. New Work means any contemplated agreement for the sale of the goods and services between Buyer and Seller which is not a part of the Existing Work and which is a Teaming Commitment.
f. Seller means Engility Corporation and its affiliates, as applicable.
g. Teaming Agreement means the agreement, substantially in the form of Appendix D hereto, which provides, in part, a binding commitment between Buyer and Seller to either, exclusively or non-exclusively, pursue the capture of certain programs contemplated to be awarded by Buyers customers.
h. Teaming Commitment means each of the business pursuits expressly set forth in Appendix C hereto, wherein the parties have agreed to enter, or have entered into, either an exclusive or non-exclusive teaming agreement (such exclusivity is as set forth within Appendix C) wherein the Parties have agreed to work together to capture a program/contract award from Buyers customer(s).
2.0 GOODS AND SERVICES
2.1. General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree to the sale of goods and services for Existing Work and New Work and to enter into certain Teaming Commitments.
2.2. Terms and Conditions for Existing Work.
a. Within 30 days after the Effective Date, or such other period of time as the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, Buyer shall issue to Seller a purchase order, or an amendment thereto, for each of the Existing Work as set forth in Appendix A. The terms and conditions of such purchase order shall be based on: (i) the terms and conditions contained in the IDWA or other agreement for Existing Work between the Parties as of the Effective Time, (ii) the terms and conditions required to be flowed down from Buyers prime contract, and (iii) this Agreement and any other terms and conditions mutually agreed to by the Parties. In the event the Parties do not agree on such other terms and conditions referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions contained in the General Terms and Conditions of Purchase attached as Appendix B hereto will apply. The terms and conditions of Article 2.2 a (i) and 2.2 a (ii) above shall take precedence over the terms set forth in Appendix B.
b. In the event the U.S. Government is required to approve or consent to, and the U.S. Government does not approve or consent to, a second tier subcontract for Existing Work, there will be no further liability to the Buyer with respect to the Existing Work covered by the Government decision. Should this occur, the Parties agree to provide, in good faith, any required support.
c. The pricing for Existing Work shall be in accordance with paragraph 2.2 (a) above, the Federal Acquisition Regulations and any other applicable laws or regulations. In addition, for Existing Work set forth on Appendix E, which is Existing Work wherein, in respect of a particular order, Seller is performing all of the Existing Work and Buyer is not performing any of the Existing Work and, further, where Buyer is the selling party in the prime contract for such Existing Work, the pricing for such Existing Work shall require Seller to reimburse Buyer for any and all M&S (Material and Subcontract Handling) and G&A (General and Administrative) costs incurred by the Buyer, solely to the extent such costs cannot be passed along to the Buyers customer. For Existing Work set forth in Appendix E, which is Existing Work wherein, in respect of a particular order, both Buyer and Seller are jointly performing the work, Buyer and Seller will share, in proportion to the profit negotiated for each party, respectively, any M&S and G&A costs which cannot be passed along to the Buyers customer and are in excess of those Buyer and Seller normally would bear, but for the Distribution Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall have ninety (90) days from the Effective Date to complete Appendix E.

[ COMPANY NAME]

1. Purpose: The Parties desire to provide a mechanism and capability for the exchange of Proprietary Information for the purpose of [INSERT PURPOSE] (Purpose).
2. Disclosure Period: The duration of this Agreement during which either Party may furnish to the other relating to and for the Purpose shall be for a period of two (2) years from the effective date of this Agreement, unless otherwise extended by the Parties in writing (Disclosure Period).
3. Term: The term of the Agreement (including the Protection Period) shall begin on the date of disclosure and ending three years from the end of the Disclosure Period.

-Page B-1-
5. Proprietary Information:
a. | Proprietary Information shall be any and all business, technical and other information which is identified or labeled as Proprietary or Confidential, whether written, oral or otherwise furnished by one Party (the Disclosing Party) to the other Party (the Receiving Party) and shall include, but not be limited to all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts and records which Receiving Party or its respective agents or employees shall have been furnished or had access to heretofore or hereafter in the course of the Parties discussions. Proprietary Information shall also include information received as a result of plant tours, demonstrations or other visual or audio presentations or verbal disclosures that the Disclosing Party indicates in writing to the Receiving Party no later than thirty (30) business days after conveying such information that it is Proprietary Information. |
b. | The foregoing shall not apply to: |
i. | Information that at the time of disclosure had been previously published and available to the public; |
ii. | Information which is published after disclosure and available to the public, unless such publication is a breach of this Agreement; |
iii. | Information which, prior to disclosure hereunder was already in the possession of the Receiving Party as evidenced by records kept in the ordinary course of business or by proof of actual prior possession; and |
iv. | Information, which subsequent to disclosure hereunder, is obtained from a third person who (insofar as is known) is not in violation of any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation with respect to such information. |
c. | If any exception listed above in §5.b applies to only a portion of any confidential data, the remainder shall continue to be subject to the foregoing prohibitions and restrictions. Proprietary Information is not to be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of the Proprietary Information is embodied in a general disclosure or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public. |
6. Restrictions: Each Party agrees that, during the term of this Agreement it shall: (a) use any Proprietary Information disclosed to it only for the Purpose stated above; (b) not disclose the Proprietary Information to any third party; (c) not disclose the Proprietary Information to any employee who does not have a need-to-know such information; and (d) employ the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Proprietary Information, paying particular attention to avoid disclosing Proprietary Information to employees or parties who may be or are also examining or participating in business opportunities competitive to the Purpose. In no case shall the standard of care with respect to the Proprietary Information be less than reasonable care.
The Receiving Party shall not be liable for inadvertent disclosure or use of information received hereunder if, upon discovery of such, it shall take reasonable steps to prevent any further inadvertent disclosure or unauthorized use. The Receiving Party may make disclosure pursuant to requirements of a solicitation anticipated by the Purpose of this Agreement, provided it is appropriately marked with restrictive legends. If the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, similar process or otherwise), to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing
-Page B-2-
Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive the Receiving Partys compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party shall be, in the written opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Proprietary Information under pain of liability for contempt or other material censure or material penalty, the Receiving Party may disclose such information to such tribunal(s) without liability hereunder. In any event, the Receiving Party shall disclose only so much of the Proprietary Information as it is legally compelled to disclose, and will take reasonable steps to obtain assurances that any Proprietary Information it must disclose will be treated confidentially to the extent possible.
7. Compliance with Export Regulation and Similar Restrictions: All information, including Proprietary Information exchanged hereunder may be subject to restrictions on the exchange imposed by the United States Government. Such restrictions include, but are not limited to: the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 C.F.R. §§120-130), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 C.F.R. §§730-774), laws concerning the disclosure of classified information, and other laws and regulations restricting disclosure. Accordingly, the Parties agree to abide by all such applicable laws and regulations governing the transfer, export, or re-export of technical data, including all amendments thereto. Technical data that is controlled by the ITAR, EAR, or other applicable export restrictions shall not be released to foreign nationals, including foreign national employees of US companies, foreign companies, or other entities without first obtaining the appropriate export license or other approval from the U.S. Government.
8. Other Rights and Obligations: Except as expressly set forth herein, no license is either granted or implied in the Proprietary Information, patents, inventions, copyrights, or trademarks of either Party. Communications from either Party shall not be in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall at the option of the disclosing Party either promptly destroy the disclosing Partys Proprietary Information and certify its destruction, or promptly return it to the disclosing Party. Neither Party is required by this Agreement to disclose Proprietary Information to the other Party; all such disclosures are at the sole discretion of the Disclosing Party. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or business relationship between the parties.
9. Warranties: Each Party warrants that it has the right to make the disclosures under this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, NO OTHER WARRANTIES ARE MADE BY EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ANY INFORMATION EXCHANGED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS PROVIDED AS IS.
10. Disputes and Governing Law: It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement be construed, interpreted, and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of New York exclusive of its conflicts of law rules. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in State of New York, and the parties hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. To the extent that the laws, rules, and regulations for U.S. Government procurement apply, then the laws commonly referred to as
-Page B-3-
U.S. Government contract law shall apply. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to settle any dispute under this agreement including where appropriate referral to higher management for resolution.
11. Remedies: The Parties acknowledge that due to the unique nature of the Information, any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party, for which a remedy at law may be inadequate. Therefore, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable or injunctive relief, in addition to other remedies to which it may be entitled at law or equity. In any action for equitable relief, the Parties agree to waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or security.
12. Termination: This Agreement, unless extended by the Parties in writing, shall terminate at the end of the term specified in §3, provided however, that either Party may terminate this Agreement before that date by thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the other Party. No termination shall affect either Partys obligations and rights herein with respect to information disclosed prior to termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after written request therefore) return to the Disclosing Party, all information embodied in writings, drawings, or the like including all copies thereof, submitted or made available by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, its affiliates or subsidiaries or the Receiving Party shall certify as to the destruction thereof to the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding such return, the Receiving Party and its respective agents and employees shall hold in confidence all Proprietary Information according to the terms of this Agreement.
13. Relationship to Related Contracts: If the Parties hereinafter enter into a contract that requires or permits use or disclosure of Proprietary Information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement, the terms of such contract requiring or permitting such use or disclosure shall to that extent, supersede the provisions of this Agreement.
14. Agreement:
a. | Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties hereto relative to the disclosure of Proprietary Information covered by this Agreement, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous understandings, commitments, or agreements, written or oral, regarding such information. The Agreement shall not be varied, except by an instrument in writing of subsequent date duly executed by an authorized representative of each Party. This Agreement shall apply in lieu of, and notwithstanding the language of, any specific legend or statement associated with any particular information or data exchanged, and the obligations of the Parties shall be determined exclusively by this Agreement. |
b. | Execution: The Parties agree that this Agreement may be executed by fax, email, or similar electronic means and shall be as effective as and as binding as if the Agreement was executed with original signatures. The Parties also agree that this Agreement may be executed in duplicate, with each Party retaining one original. |
c. |
Waiver: Failure by either party hereto to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, or any right with respect thereto, or failure to exercise any election provided for herein, shall in no way be considered a waiver of such provisions, rights |
-Page B-4-
or elections, or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The failure by either party hereto to enforce any of said provisions, rights or elections shall not prejudice such party from later enforcing or exercising same or any other provisions, rights or elections which it may have under this Agreement |
d. | Invalid Terms: If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or otherwise invalid or unenforceable under applicable present or future laws or regulations, that provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement, and so much of the remainder of this Agreement as shall otherwise remain intelligible shall be given full force and effect and shall bind the Parties. |
e. | Assignment: Neither Party shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except as provided hereafter, any attempted assignment or transfer by any Party, or occurring by virtue of the purported operation of law, shall be void. A change of corporate name by a Party, merger or other corporate reorganization (provided that the Party remains the surviving entity) or the sale by a Party of all or substantially all of its assets shall not be deemed an assignment or transfer hereunder. |
f. | Specific Parties: This Agreement only binds the Parties named hereto. It is not intended and does not bind any other entity owned in whole or in part by of L-3 Communications Corporation, including, but not limited to subsidiaries, affiliated companies, joint ventures, or corporations. |
