Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 25, 2014, Exelis Inc. (“Exelis” or the “Company”) entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Vectrus, Inc. (“Vectrus”), which sets forth Exelis’ agreements with Vectrus regarding the principal actions needed to be taken in connection with the spin-off of Vectrus from Exelis (the “Spin-off”), and certain other agreements that govern Exelis’ relationship with Vectrus following the Spin-off, in each case as described below.

The summaries below of the Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement between Exelis and Vectrus dated September 25, 2014 (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), the Tax Matters Agreement between Exelis and Vectrus dated September 25, 2014 (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), the Transition Services Agreement between Exelis and Vectrus dated September 25, 2014 (the “Transition Services Agreement”), the Transitional Trademark License Agreement between Exelis and Vectrus dated September 25, 2014 (the “Transitional Trademark License Agreement”) and the Technology License Agreement between Exelis and Vectrus dated September 25, 2014 (the “Technology License Agreement”) are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Distribution Agreement

Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities. The Distribution Agreement provides for those transfers of assets and assumptions of liabilities that are necessary in connection with the Spin-off so that each of Exelis and Vectrus is allocated the assets necessary to operate its respective business and retains or assumes the liabilities allocated to it in accordance with the separation plan. The Distribution Agreement also provides for the settlement or extinguishment of certain liabilities and other obligations between Exelis and Vectrus. In particular, the Distribution Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Distribution Agreement:

 

    All of the assets and liabilities (including whether accrued, contingent or otherwise, and subject to certain exceptions) associated with the Mission Systems business, other than the tethered aerostat radar systems business of Exelis (the “TARS business”) and certain environmental liabilities, will be retained by or transferred to Vectrus or one of Vectrus’ subsidiaries.

 

    All other assets and liabilities (including whether accrued, contingent or otherwise, and subject to certain exceptions) of Exelis, including the TARS business and certain environmental liabilities associated with the Mission Systems business, will be retained by or transferred to Exelis or one of its subsidiaries (other than Vectrus or one of Vectrus’ subsidiaries).

 

    Liabilities (including whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) related to, arising out of or resulting from businesses of Exelis that were previously terminated or divested will be allocated among Vectrus and Exelis to the extent formerly owned or managed by or associated with Vectrus or Exelis or their respective businesses.

 

    Vectrus will assume or retain any liabilities (including under applicable federal and state securities laws) relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Registration Statement on Form 10 registering its common stock to be distributed by Exelis in the Spin-off, subject to exceptions for certain information for which Exelis will retain liability.

 

    Except as otherwise provided in the Distribution Agreement or any ancillary agreement, Exelis will be responsible for the majority of the expenses related to the Spin-off and incurred prior to the distribution date. Vectrus will be responsible for the majority of its expenses incurred following the distribution date, including expenses related to its documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its New York Stock Exchange listing.

Further Assurances . To the extent that any transfers of assets or assumptions of liabilities contemplated by the Distribution Agreement were not consummated on or prior to the date of the distribution, the parties agreed to cooperate to effect such transfers or assumptions as promptly as practicable following the date of the distribution. In addition, each of the parties agreed to cooperate with the other and use commercially reasonable efforts to take or to cause to be taken all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement and the ancillary agreements.

Representations and Warranties. In general, neither Vectrus nor Exelis made any representations or warranties regarding any assets or liabilities transferred or assumed, any consents or approvals that may be required in connection with


such transfers or assumptions, the value or freedom from any restriction on transfer, non-infringement, encumbrance, lien or other security interest of any assets transferred, the absence of any defenses relating to any claim of either party or the legal sufficiency of any conveyance documents, or any other matters. Except as expressly set forth in the Distribution Agreement or in any ancillary agreement, all assets, including the stock of subsidiaries, were or will be transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis.

The Distribution. The Distribution Agreement governs the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the distribution and certain actions that were required to occur prior to the distribution, such as the election of officers and directors and the adoption of the amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws. Prior to the distribution, Vectrus distributed shares of its common stock to Exelis in a share dividend, so that Exelis held the necessary number of shares of Vectrus’ common stock required to be distributed in the distribution. Exelis has caused its agent to distribute to Exelis’ shareholders that hold shares of Exelis common stock as of the applicable record date all the issued and outstanding shares of Vectrus’ common stock.

Release of Claims and Indemnification. Exelis and Vectrus agreed to broad releases pursuant to which they each released the other and certain related persons specified in the Distribution Agreement from any claims against any of them that arise out of or relate to events, circumstances or actions occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing at or alleged to exist at or prior to the time of the distribution. These releases are subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

The Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities that, except as otherwise provided in the Distribution Agreement, are principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Vectrus’ business with Vectrus and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Exelis’ business with Exelis. Specifically, each party will, and will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and subsidiaries and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with:

 

    the liabilities or alleged liabilities such party assumed or retained pursuant to the Distribution Agreement; and

 

    any breach by such party of the Distribution Agreement or any ancillary agreement unless such ancillary agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification, in which case any such indemnification claims will be made thereunder.

The amount of each party’s indemnification obligations is subject to reduction by any insurance proceeds received by the party being indemnified. The Distribution Agreement also specifies procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters. Indemnification with respect to taxes is governed solely by the Tax Matters Agreement (described below).

Insurance . Following the Spin-off, Vectrus is responsible for obtaining and maintaining its own insurance coverage, although Vectrus will continue to have coverage under certain of Exelis’ pre-Spin-off insurance policies for certain matters that occurred prior to the Spin-off.

Non-Compete . Subject to certain limited exceptions, for a three-year period following the distribution date, Vectrus will be subject to a covenant not to compete with Exelis with respect to the TARS business and similar work with the Department of Homeland Security relating to tethered aerostat airborne surveillance.

The description of the Distribution Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Distribution Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Employee Matters Agreement

On September 25, 2014, Exelis entered into the Employee Matters Agreement with Vectrus. The Employee Matters Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the parties from and after the Spin-off with respect to employee-related liabilities and, among other things, Vectrus’ respective retirement plans, excess savings plan, health and welfare benefit plans, and equity-based compensation plans (including the treatment of outstanding awards granted thereunder). The Employee Matters Agreement generally provides for the allocation and treatment of assets, account balances and liabilities, as applicable, arising out of incentive plans, retirement plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans and employee health and welfare benefit programs in which Vectrus’ employees participated prior to the Spin-off. Generally, Vectrus will assume or retain sponsorship of, and liabilities relating to, employee compensation and benefit


programs relating to its current employees. However, Exelis will retain certain liabilities accrued prior to the Spin-off relating to Vectrus’ current employees with respect to certain Exelis pension plans, including the deferred compensation plan, and retiree health and welfare plans.

Subject to the applicable transition periods with respect to certain benefit plans or programs, after the Spin-off, Vectrus’ employees will no longer participate in Exelis plans or programs, and Exelis employees will not participate in any of Vectrus’ plans or programs. The description of the Employee Matters Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employee Matters Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Tax Matters Agreement

On September 25, 2014, Exelis entered into the Tax Matters Agreement with Vectrus. The Tax Matters Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Exelis and Vectrus after the Spin-off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns. As a subsidiary of Exelis, Vectrus and certain of its subsidiaries have (and will continue to have following the Spin-off) joint and several liability with Exelis to the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the consolidated U.S. Federal income taxes of the Exelis consolidated group relating to the taxable periods in which Vectrus (or its subsidiaries) were part of that group. However, the Tax Matters Agreement specifies the portion, if any, of this tax liability for which Vectrus bears responsibility and Exelis agreed to indemnify Vectrus against any amounts for which Vectrus is not responsible. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event that the Spin-off is not tax-free. The Tax Matters Agreement provides for certain covenants that may restrict Vectrus’ ability to pursue strategic or other transactions that otherwise could maximize the value of Vectrus’ business and may discourage or delay a change of control that may be considered favorable. Under the Tax Matters Agreement Vectrus agrees to indemnify Exelis for any tax resulting from any such transactions, whether or not Exelis consented to such transactions or Vectrus was otherwise permitted to enter into such transactions under the Tax Matters Agreement. Though valid as between the parties, the Tax Matters Agreement will not be binding on the IRS. The description of the Tax Matters Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tax Matters Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Transition Services Agreement

On September 25, 2014, Exelis entered into the Transition Services Agreement with Vectrus under which Exelis or its affiliates will provide Vectrus, and Vectrus or its affiliates will provide Exelis, with certain services for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition for each of Exelis and Vectrus following the distribution. Under the Transition Services Agreement, Exelis and Vectrus will provide each other (or cause applicable third parties to provide) certain services, including information technology, financial, human resource and other specified services, on a transitional basis. These services will be provided initially at a base cost with scheduled, escalating increases to up to the base cost plus 10% subject to adjustments for inflation, and these services are generally planned to extend for a period of 4 to 24 months, subject to limited exceptions. The description of the Transition Services Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Services Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Intellectual Property Agreements

On September 25, 2014, Exelis entered into a Transitional Trademark License Agreement with Vectrus pursuant to which Vectrus licenses on a non-exclusive basis the right to use the Exelis name and trademark in the Exelis Mission Systems business for a transitional period while Vectrus phases out the use of such trademark in the operation of its business. Exelis also entered into a Technology License Agreement with Vectrus pursuant to which Vectrus licenses on a non¬exclusive basis certain of its intellectual property (excluding trademarks) existing as of the distribution date to Exelis and its affiliates and in turn, Exelis and its affiliates grant reciprocal licenses to Vectrus, each for use in their respective businesses. The descriptions of the Transitional Trademark License Agreement and the Technology License Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Transitional Trademark License Agreement and the Technology License Agreement and which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 27, 2014, Exelis completed the previously announced Spin-off of Vectrus, its former Mission Systems business. Effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time on September 27, 2014 (the “Effective Time”), the common stock of Vectrus was distributed, on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s shareholders of record as of September 18, 2014 (the “Record Date”). As of the Effective Time, each of the shareholders of Exelis received one share of Vectrus common stock for every 18 shares of common stock of Exelis held by such shareholders on the Record Date. The Spin-off was completed pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.


Immediately after the Effective Time, Exelis did not beneficially own any shares of Vectrus common stock and will not consolidate the financial results of Vectrus for its future financial reporting. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of Exelis giving effect to the Spin-off and the related notes thereto is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.02 Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Transaction Incentive Awards

It is expected that each of Exelis Officers David F. Melcher, Chief Executive Officer and President; Peter J. Milligan, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer; Ann D. Davidson, Senior Vice President Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary; and A. John Procopio, Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer will receive a special-one-time cash award (a “Transaction Incentive Award”) in recognition of the additional work and responsibilities required to facilitate successful completion of the Spin-off. The Transaction Incentive Awards paid to Mr. Melcher, Mr. Milligan, Ms. Davidson and Mr. Procopio are expected to be in the amount of $511,500, $204,800, $133,300 and $119,800, respectively.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

Section 2.6. Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time .

(a) To the extent that any Transfers contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Transfers as promptly following the Effective Time as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred; provided , however , that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II . In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated, from and after the Effective Time (i) the Party retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Sections 2.8 and 2.9 , to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party Assuming such Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the member or members of the Exelis Group or the Vectrus Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.9(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) , are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2 ) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on a Party, be deemed to be effective as of the Effective Time.

(c) Following the second anniversary of the Distribution Date, the Party retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or otherwise shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be

 

23


reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability.

(d) After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party is hereby authorized to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party that belongs to such other Party, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the receiving Party or another Party, copies thereof) to such other Party as provided for in Section 11.6 . The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by either Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party for service of process purposes.

(e) With respect to any Assets that have not been Transferred or Liabilities that have not been assumed at or prior to the Effective Time, each of Exelis and Vectrus shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all income Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any income Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Tax Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest relating to income Taxes).

In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Group of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of its assumed Liabilities for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to New York Law or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or, if not appropriate for a given Transfer or Assumption, and for Transfers or Assumptions to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. Laws, in such form as the Parties shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property by mutually acceptable conveyance deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located. The Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of any other Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party such title and such rights as possessed by the transferring Party to the Assets allocated to such other Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a Party (or member of such Party’s Group) is delivered or receives any Assets to be transferred to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such Party agrees to promptly return or cause the return of such Assets to the other Party (or member of such other Party’s Group as designated by such other Party) at such other Party’s expense.

The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided , that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from such Other Party’s willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities.

Section 6.1. Shared Contingent Liabilities . From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article VI or the Tax Matters Agreement (with respect to Taxes) and without limiting the indemnification provisions of Article VII , Exelis and Vectrus shall each be responsible for (i) its Applicable Percentage of any Shared Contingent Liabilities pursuant to and in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article VII and, without duplication, (ii) its Applicable Percentage of any Specified Shared Expenses related to or arising out of any Shared Contingent Liability. Any amounts owed in respect of any Shared Contingent Liabilities other than Specified Shared Expenses (which are addressed pursuant to Section 5.3 ) shall be remitted promptly after the Party entitled to such amount provides an invoice (including reasonable supporting Information with respect thereto and a calculation of the amounts owed by each Party based on such Party’s Applicable Percentage) to the Party owing such amount and such costs and expenses shall be included in the calculation of the amount of the applicable Shared Contingent Liability in determining the reimbursement obligations of the other Party with respect thereto; provided , however , that if so directed by the Party providing the invoice, in lieu of remitting amounts directly to the Party providing the invoice, the owing Party shall remit the owed amount directly to the appropriate third party or parties or to an account established by the invoicing Party for the benefit of the Parties, in which case each Party shall contribute its Applicable Percentage of such amount to such account for the benefit of the Parties. It shall not be a defense to any obligation by a Party to pay any amounts, whether pursuant to this Article VI or in respect of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Article VII, in respect of any Shared Contingent Liability that (i) such Party was not consulted in the defense or management thereof, (ii) that such Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, (iii) that such Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or (iv) that such Shared Contingent Liability was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of Liability (even if, subject in each case to Section 7.4(f) , such settlement was effected without the consent or over the objection of such Party); provided that the foregoing is not meant to limit the Managing Party’s obligation to keep the other Party informed pursuant to Section 6.3(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be required to pay its share of any final settlement in connection with any Shared Contingent Liability unless the final settlement agreement in connection therewith shall provide for a full and unconditional release of such Party.

Section 6.2. Shared Contingent Assets . From and after the Effective Time, to the extent that a Party or any member of its Group receives from a third party any proceeds of any kind arising out of a Shared Contingent Asset, such Party shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following receipt thereof, unless there is a good faith open question as to whether such proceeds are in fact Shared Contingent Assets and the matter has been submitted for resolution pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in which case, promptly following the final determination thereof) transfer such amounts to the other Party pursuant to and in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Section 6.3. Management of Shared Contingent Liabilities and Shared Contingent Assets .

(a) “ Managing Party ” shall initially mean Exelis or Vectrus, if identified on Schedules 1.1(69) or (70) ; provided , however , Vectrus may become the Managing Party with respect to any Shared Contingent Liabilities or Shared Contingent Assets or other matters set forth in this Agreement upon the prior written agreement of each of the Parties.

(b) Except as provided in the Tax Matters Agreement (with respect to management of Tax Contests), the Managing Party shall, on behalf of itself and the other Party, have sole and exclusive authority to, and shall actively and diligently, commence, prosecute, manage, control, conduct or defend (or assume or conduct the defense of) or otherwise determine all matters whatsoever (including, as

 

36


applicable, litigation strategy and choice of legal counsel or other professionals) with respect to any Shared Contingent Liability or Shared Contingent Asset. The Managing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other Party in the event that it (i) receives notice of any Shared Contingent Liability including any claim or demand relating thereto or (ii) commences an Action with respect to a Shared Contingent Asset; provided , that the failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any rights on the part of the other Party against the Managing Party or affect any other provision of this Section 6.3 , except to the extent the other Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby in a manner different from the Managing Party. No Party other than the Managing Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Shared Contingent Liability without the prior written consent of the Managing Party. For the avoidance of doubt, any settlement by the Managing Party shall be subject to Section 7.4(f) .

(c) Each Party acknowledges that the Managing Party may elect not to pursue any Shared Contingent Asset for any reason whatsoever (including a different assessment of the merits of any Action, claim or right as compared with the other Party or any business reasons that may be in the best interests of the Managing Party or a member of such Managing Party’s Group without regard to the best interests of any member of the other Party’s Group) and that no member of the Group of which the Managing Party is a member shall have any Liability to any Person (including any member of the other Party’s Group) as a result of any such determination. If the Managing Party elects not to pursue such Shared Contingent Asset, the other Party may pursue such Shared Contingent Asset, provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the costs and benefits of such pursuit shall be borne solely by such other Party, with no obligation to share any proceeds from such claim.

(d) The Managing Party shall on a quarterly basis, or if a material development occurs as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, inform the other Party of the status of and developments relating to any matter involving a Shared Contingent Asset or a Shared Contingent Liability and provide copies of any material document, notices or other materials related to such matters; provided , that the failure to provide any such information shall not be a basis for liability of the Managing Party except and solely to the extent the receiving Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced thereby in a manner different than the Managing Party. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the Managing Party in its management of any of such Shared Contingent Asset or Shared Contingent Liability and shall take such actions in connection therewith that the Managing Party reasonably requests (including providing access to such Party’s Records and other Information and employees as set forth in Section 6.4 ).

(e) In the event of any dispute as to whether any Asset or Liability is a Shared Contingent Asset or a Shared Contingent Liability, the Managing Party may, but shall not be obligated to, commence prosecution, other assertion or defense of such claim or right pending resolution of such dispute. In the event that the Managing Party commences any such prosecution, assertion or defense and, upon resolution of the dispute (pursuant to Article IX or otherwise), it is determined that such Asset or Liability is not a Shared Contingent Asset or a Shared Contingent Liability, as the case may be, and that such Asset or Liability belongs to the other Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Managing Party shall cease the prosecution, assertion or defense of such right or claim and control thereof shall be transferred to the other Party. In such event, the other Party shall promptly reimburse the Managing Party for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred to such date in connection with the prosecution, assertion or defense of such claim or right (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of the Managing Party or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service with respect to the foregoing).

(f) Until and unless the Managing Party assumes responsibility for defending a Shared Contingent Liability, such other Party against which a Third Party Claim may be brought may defend

 

37


such Third Party Claim, with its costs and expenses to be borne by the Parties in accordance with their Applicable Percentages.

(h) In the case of any Shared Contingent Liability, the Managing Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Shared Contingent Liability without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment or other non-monetary relief, to be entered, directly or indirectly, against the other Party, provided that the consent of the other Party shall not be required if such relief would be imposed on both the Managing Party and the other Party.

Section 6.6. Cooperation with Governmental Entity . If, in connection with any Shared Contingent Asset or Shared Contingent Liability, a Party is required by Law to respond to and/or cooperate with a Governmental Entity, such Party shall be entitled to cooperate and respond to such Governmental Entity after, to the extent practicable under the specific circumstances, consultation with the Managing Party with respect to such Shared Contingent Asset or Shared Contingent Liability; provided , that to the extent such consultation was not practicable such Party shall promptly inform the Managing Party of such cooperation and/or response to the Governmental Entity and the subject matter

(a) Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 7.4(b) , and Shared Contingent Liabilities, which shall be governed by Section 6.1 , each Exelis Indemnitee and Vectrus Indemnitee (each, an “ Indemnitee ”) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article VII or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”), within thirty (30) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided , however , that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Each such Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access, upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of such Indemnitee, to its books and records, properties and personnel relating to the claim the Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Third Party Claims . If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “ Third Party Claim ”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If a Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion of a Third Party Claim which may reasonably be determined to be a Shared Contingent Liability, such Party, as appropriate, shall give the Managing Party written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after such Person becomes aware of such Third Party Claim subject to and in compliance with Section 6.5 . Thereafter, the

 

42


Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party (and, if applicable, to the Managing Party), promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) Other than in the case of (i) a Shared Contingent Liability (the defense of which shall be assumed and controlled by the Managing Party), or (ii) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein, an Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitees, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from such Indemnitees; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an allegation of a criminal violation or (y) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter; provided , further , that if (i) the Third Party Claim is not a Shared Contingent Liability and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense or to its liability therefor, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Notwithstanding any assumption of defense of a Third Party Claim by an Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 7.5(a) , in the event that in the course of defending such Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Party becomes aware that the subject matter of such Third Party Claim relates to a Liability of the other Party and not to a Liability of such Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the prior written consent of the other Party to which such Liability belongs (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the defense of such claim to such other Party, and shall thereafter cooperate fully with such other Party in such defense and make available to such other Party, at such Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating to such Third Party Claim as are reasonably required by such other Party.

(e) Other than in the case of a Shared Contingent Liability, if an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the time specified, an Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, and material in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee.

(f) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim (with any Shared Contingent Liability governed by Article VI ) without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

43


(g) In the case of a Third Party Claim (including in respect of a Shared Contingent Liability), no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief, to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee; it being understood that in the case of a Third Party Claim that is a Shared Contingent Liability, the Managing Party shall be subject to the same requirement to seek the consent of the other Party in connection with any such judgment or settlement, provided that the consent of the other Party shall not be required if such relief would be imposed on both the Managing Party and the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no such consent shall be required to the extent such judgment is solely for monetary damages.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII , subject to Article VI, the Managing Party shall, on behalf of the other Party, have sole and exclusive authority to, and shall actively and diligently, commence, prosecute, manage, control, settle, conduct or defend (or assume or conduct the defense of) or otherwise determine all matters whatsoever (including, as applicable, litigation strategy and choice of legal counsel or other professionals) with respect to any Action or Third Party Claim with respect to a Shared Contingent Liability.

(i) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.1 , Article VI and Section 8.5 , or as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article VII against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article VII shall be resolved in accordance with Article IX .

Section 7.5. Cooperation in Defense and Settlement .

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that is not a Shared Contingent Liability and that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims.

(b) Each of Exelis and Vectrus agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming both Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which a named Party (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 7.6. Indemnification Payments . Indemnification required by this Article VII shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.

 

44


Section 7.7. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts .

(a) Any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any Shared Contingent Liability, shall be calculated (i) net of insurance proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, (ii) net of any proceeds received by the Indemnitee from any third party for indemnification for such Liability (to the extent such proceeds are not subject to insurer subrogation rights) that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss (“ Third Party Proceeds ”) and (iii) net of any Tax benefits actually realized in accordance with, and subject to, the principles set forth or referred to in Section 2.4(c) of the Tax Matters Agreement, and increased in accordance with, and subject to, the principles set forth in Section 2.4(b) of the Tax Matters Agreement. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article VII to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss (an “ Indemnity Payment ”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall 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.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the indemnification provisions hereof do not relieve any insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim to pay such claim. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds under an arrangement where future premiums are adjusted to reflect prior claims in excess of prior premiums or Insurance Proceeds under the Excluded Policies) to which the Indemnitee is entitled in connection with any Indemnifiable Loss for which the Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VII ; provided , that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds (despite having used commercially reasonable efforts) shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

Section 7.8. Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities .

(a) The indemnity agreements contained in this Article VII shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder; and (iii) any termination of this Agreement following the Effective Time.

(b) The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article VII shall survive the sale or other Transfer by a Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss of any Indemnitee related to such Assets, businesses or Liabilities.

Each Party agrees to provide assistance and reasonable access to its properties, Records, other Information and personnel set forth in this Section 8.2 at the request of the other Party, (i) at any time, with the consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for reasonable business purposes relating to financial reporting and other regulatory obligations (including disclosure obligations) or other obligations to Government Entities; (ii) from the Effective Time until the completion of each Party’s audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, in connection with the preparation and audit of each Party’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 (including financial statements for any interim periods), the printing, filing and public dissemination of such financial statements and the audit of each Party’s internal controls over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof and management’s assessment of each Party’s disclosure controls and procedures, if required; (iii) in the event that either Party changes its independent auditors within two (2) years following the Distribution Date, reasonable access on the terms set forth in this Section 8.2 for a period of up to one hundred and eighty (180) days from such change; and (iv) to the extent reasonably necessary to respond (and for the limited purpose of responding) to any written request or official comment from a Governmental Entity, such as in connection with responding to a comment letter from the Commission or an audit request from the DCAA or DCMA.

46

(e) Nothing in this Article VIII shall require either Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary Information relating to that third party or its business; provided , however , that in the event that a Party is required under this Section 8.2 to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s written consent to the disclosure of such Information.

Section 8.3. Provision of Information . Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VII (in which event the provisions of such Article shall govern) or for matters related to provision of Tax Records (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) and without limiting the applicable provisions of Article VI , and subject to appropriate restrictions for classified Information, Privileged Information or Confidential Information:

(a) If Information that is retained by Exelis (pursuant to the proviso in Section 1.1(83)(xii)) is (A) Exelis Information but used in or related to the Vectrus Business, Vectrus shall have the right to access and use such Information and make reasonable copies thereof but solely for its internal purposes consistent with past practice and for responding to any action, suit, litigation, petition, claim, arbitration, proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate proceeding), hearing, inquiry, audit, examination or investigation by or before, or otherwise involving, any court or other Governmental Entity, subject to applicable security restrictions and confidentiality obligations as set forth in Section 8.5 and (B) Vectrus Information, Vectrus shall have the right to access and use such Information and make reasonable copies thereof, which copies shall be included in the Vectrus Assets; and

Section 8.5. Confidentiality .

(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, each Party shall hold, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to hold, and shall cause its and their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, use, without the prior written consent of the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates (which may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, except where disclosure is required by applicable Law), any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to the other Party; provided , that each Party may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to its respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information and are informed of the obligation to hold such Information confidential and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if either Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries is required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule or is advised by outside counsel in connection with a governmental proceeding that it is advisable to do so, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against the other Party, (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, Tax Returns or other required disclosures, (v) as necessary for a Party to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.3 ) or an Ancillary Agreement, (vi) to Governmental Entities in accordance with applicable procurement regulations and contract requirements or (vii) to other Persons in connection with their evaluation of, and negotiating and consummating, a potential strategic transaction, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided an appropriate and customary confidentiality agreement has been entered into with the Person receiving such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (vi) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party and/or members of its Group were part of the Exelis Group. Each Party shall comply, and shall cause the other members of its Group to comply, and shall cause its and their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors (or potential buyers) to comply, with all terms and conditions of any such third-party agreements entered into prior to the Effective Time, with respect to any confidential and proprietary Information of third parties to which it or any other member of its Group has had access.

(c) The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 8.5 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed by Section 8.6 and not by this Section 8.5 .

Section 8.6. Privilege Matters .

(a) Pre-Separation Services . The Parties (which term for the purposes of this Section 8.6 only shall also include any members of such Parties’ respective Groups) recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Exelis Group and the Vectrus Group, and that each of the members of the Exelis Group and the Vectrus Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-separation services for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities, or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, and protection under the work-product doctrine (“ Privilege ”). The Parties shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all Information subject to Privilege (“ Privileged Information ”) which relates to such pre-separation services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 8.6 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by a Party, including outside counsel and in-house counsel.

(b) Post-Separation Services . The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time to each of Exelis and Vectrus. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-separation services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Exelis or Vectrus, as the case may be, while other such post-separation services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both Exelis and Vectrus. With respect to such post-separation services and related Privileged Information, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) All Privileged Information relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both Exelis and Vectrus shall be subject to a shared Privilege between the Parties involved in the claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters at issue; and

 

50


(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.6(b)(i) , Privileged Information relating to post-separation services provided solely to either Exelis or Vectrus shall not be deemed shared between the Parties, provided , that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict the right or authority of the Parties (x) to enter into any further agreement, not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, concerning the sharing of Privileged Information or (y) otherwise to share Privileged Information without waiving any Privilege which could be asserted under applicable Law.

(c) The Parties agree as follows regarding all Privileged Information with respect to which the Parties shall have a shared Privilege under Section 8.6(a) or (b) :

(i) Subject to Section 8.6(c)(iii) and (iv) , no Party may waive any Privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared Privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within ten (10) days after written notice by the requesting Party to the Party whose consent is sought;

(ii) If a dispute arises between the Parties regarding whether a Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of a Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold consent to waive for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests;

(iii) If, within ten (10) days of receipt by the requesting Party of written objection, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution to any dispute regarding whether a Privilege should be waived, and the requesting Party determines that a Privilege should nonetheless be waived to protect or advance its interest, the requesting Party shall provide the objecting Party ten (10) days written notice prior to effecting such waiver. Each Party specifically agrees that failure within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such disclosure under applicable Law shall be deemed full and effective consent to such disclosure; and

(iv) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, either such Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided , that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties.

(d) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Exelis and Vectrus as set forth in Section 8.5 and this Section 8.6 , to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted hereunder, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals hereunder, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated hereunder, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 8.6 , the Party controlling any Tax Contest pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement shall have the authority to disclose or not disclose, in its sole discretion, any and all Privileged Information to (i) any Taxing Authority (as defined

 

51


in the Tax Matters Agreement) conducting a Tax Contest or (ii) to third parties in connection with the defense of a Tax Contest, including expert witnesses, accountants and other advisors, potential witnesses and other parties whose assistance is deemed, in the sole discretion of such Party, to be necessary or beneficial to representing the interests of the Parties hereunder.

Section 8.7. Ownership of Information . Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VIII shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein or in an Ancillary Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

Section 8.8. Other Agreements . The rights and obligations granted under this Article VIII are subject to any specific rights, obligations, limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

The Parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the Virginia Courts (as defined in Section 11.18 ). The arbitrator shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief; provided , however , the arbitrator shall not be entitled to award special, consequential, reputational, indirect or punitive damages unless in connection with indemnification for a Third Party Claim (and in such a case, only to the extent awarded in such Third Party Claim).

Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent a Party from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Agreement Disputes. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of a Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

Section 9.6. Continuity of Service and Performance . Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

If cancellation premium credits for any Policy, to the extent not applied to the purchase of “tail” coverage for such Policy under Section 10.6 , are received after the Effective Time in connection with the cancellation of any Company Policies set forth on Schedule 10.11 , each of Exelis and Vectrus shall be entitled to receive a proportionate share of such cancellation premium credits as set forth on Schedule 10.11 . If cancellation premium credits for any Policy, to the extent not applied to the purchase of “tail” coverage for such Policy under Section 10.6 , are received after the Effective Time in connection with the cancellation of any Company Policies other than those set forth on Schedule 10.11 , Exelis shall be entitled to receive such cancellation premium credits. If profit sharing payments for any Policy are received after the Effective Time, each of Exelis and Vectrus shall be entitled to receive a proportionate share of such profit sharing payments as set forth on Schedule 10.11 based on the proportion of total premium allocated to the Mission Systems Division for the policy year, and Exelis shall receive all other profit sharing payments.

Section 10.12. Mission Systems Defense Base Act Policy . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Exelis shall remain liable to the relevant insurance carrier for the deferred premium, due in January of 2015, associated with the Company Policy set forth on Schedule 10.12 ; provided , however, that, Exelis shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days before such deferred premium is due, in relation to Vectrus’ portion of such deferred premium (the “ Vectrus Portion ,” currently estimated to be approximately $1,418,961), at its election, instruct Vectrus to, and Vectrus shall, as instructed by Exelis, either (i) pay the Vectrus Portion directly to the insurance carrier prior to the date on which the deferred premium is due, or (ii) if Exelis elects to pay the Vectrus Portion to the insurance carrier itself, reimburse Exelis dollar-for-dollar for Exelis’ payment of the Vectrus Portion, within ten (10) Business Days of Exelis’ notification to Vectrus of its payment thereof.

In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of (a) this Agreement and the provisions of any Specified Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, such Specified Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement shall control and (b) this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement which is not a Specified Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such Ancillary Agreement.

Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Employee Matters Agreement and not this Distribution Agreement shall govern (a) the allocation of Assets, Liabilities, and responsibilities with respect to the employee compensation and benefit plans programs of Exelis and Vectrus and (b) all other employment and compensation matters contemplated by the Employee Matters Agreement.

Section 11.3. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party.

For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, each Party shall be responsible for its own internal fees (and reimburse any other Party to the extent such Party has paid such costs and expenses on behalf of the responsible Party), costs and expenses (e.g., salaries of personnel working in its respective Business) incurred following the Distribution Date, including any costs and expenses relating to such Party’s (or any member of its Group’s) documents filed with the Commission following the Distribution Date (including printing, mailing and filing fees) or any costs and expenses incurred following the Distribution Date with the continued listing of such Party’s common stock on the NYSE following the Distribution.

(c) Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, a Party (or any member of a Party’s Group) may direct that any payment owed such Party (or member of such Party’s Group) hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement be paid directly to another member of the same Group.

Section 11.12. No Circumvention . The Parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause or allow any member of any such Party’s Group to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action) such that the resulting effect is to materially undermine the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including adversely affecting the rights or ability of a Party to successfully pursue indemnification or payment pursuant to Articles VI and VII ).

Section 11.13. Subsidiaries . Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party at and after the Effective Time, to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party.

Section 11.15. Title and Headings . Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.16. Exhibits and Schedules .

(a) The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Vectrus Group or the Exelis Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the Vectrus Group or the Exelis Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities between the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

59


Section 11.17. Governing Law .

Subject to the provisions of Article IX hereof, each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Fairfax County Circuit Court and any appeals courts thereof or (b) the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and any appeals courts thereof (the courts referred to in clauses (a) and (b), the “ Virginia Courts ”), for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding to compel arbitration or for provisional relief in aid of arbitration in accordance with Article IX or to prevent irreparable harm, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Virginia Courts for the enforcement of any award issued thereunder. Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the Virginia Courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 11.18 . Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Virginia Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 11.19. Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.20. Severability . In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

60


Section 11.21. Force Majeure . No Party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event: (a) notify the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as feasible.

Section 11.22. Interpretation . The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 11.23. No Duplication; No Double Recovery . Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon either Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances.

Section 11.24. Tax Treatment of Payments . Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the Parties, for U.S. federal Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 11.11 ) by: (i) Vectrus to Exelis shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Vectrus to Exelis with respect to the stock of Vectrus occurring immediately before the Distribution; or (ii) Exelis to Vectrus shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by Exelis to Vectrus with respect to its stock occurring immediately before the Distribution; and in each case, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as required pursuant to this Agreement (ignoring any potential inconsistent or adverse Final Determination), such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.

Section 11.25. No Waiver . No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of a Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 11.26. No Admission of Liability . The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Exelis and Vectrus and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-a-vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Exelis or Vectrus.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall be responsible for any Income Taxes (other than Separation Taxes) for (a) any taxable period that ends on or before the Distribution Date and (b) for the portion of the taxable period ending on the Distribution Date of any taxable period that begins before and includes but does not end on the Distribution Date, in each case for (x) for all Income Tax Returns (including any adjustments thereto) filed pursuant to Section 3.1 of Exelis, Vectrus, any Exelis Subsidiary or any Vectrus Subsidiary and (y) for all Income Tax Returns (including any adjustments thereto) (other than a Consolidated Return) of Vectrus or any Vectrus Subsidiary, in each case other than any Income Taxes arising as a result of any deferred intercompany item (or any similar item under state, local or foreign Tax law) resulting from the transactions undertaken pursuant to the SGRS Distribution Agreement being taken into account in connection with the Distributions pursuant to Section 1502 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) or any estimated Income Tax payments in respect of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 or Income Tax payments due with respect to any initial extension of any Income Tax Return for any taxable period that ends on the Distribution Date or December 31, 2014 (collectively, “ Shared Taxes ”), in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages if (and to the extent) Exelis would be responsible hereunder for an amount of such Shared Taxes in excess of $3,300,000; provided, however, that Income Taxes shall not be considered Shared Taxes to the extent Exelis or any Exelis Subsidiary is indemnified for such Income Taxes under any Tax Sharing Agreement. Any refunds of Shared Taxes that are received by Exelis or any Exelis Subsidiary (or otherwise paid over to Exelis pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)) shall be treated as reducing the amount of Shared Taxes for which Exelis has been responsible hereunder (but

 

5


only to the extent that Exelis or any Exelis Subsidiary is entitled to retain such refund). If any Shared Taxes have been shared by the Parties in accordance with their Sharing Percentages, the Party that receives any refund of Shared Taxes shall make payments to the other Party in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages to reflect the prior liability, if any, for Shared Taxes. For the purposes of this Section 2.1(a), (i) Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes) shall be apportioned between the two portions of a taxable period in accordance with the Pro-Rated Method and (ii) Taxes not described in clause (i) above (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property) shall be apportioned between the two portions of a taxable period in accordance with the Closing of the Books Method.

(b) Separation Taxes . Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1 to the contrary, and except as provided in Article IV, Exelis shall be liable for, and shall be entitled to any refunds of, any Taxes for a taxable period that begins before the Distribution Date that are (i) imposed or incurred as a result of any Distribution failing to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(D) and Section 355 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law), (ii) imposed or incurred as a result of the stock of Vectrus distributed in the External Distribution or the stock of Exelis Holdings distributed in the Internal Distribution failing to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Section 355(d) or Section 355(e) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) and (iii) imposed or incurred as a result of Exelis or Systems otherwise recognizing any gain for Income Tax purposes in connection with any Distribution (other than as a result of any deferred intercompany item (or any similar item under state, local or foreign Tax law) generated by transactions other than any Distribution or the Plan of Separation being taken into account in connection with the Distributions pursuant to Section 1502 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law)) (collectively, “ Separation Taxes ”).

SECTION 2.2. Indemnity .

(a) Subject to Article IV, Exelis shall indemnify Vectrus and its Affiliates from all liability for Taxes for which Exelis is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1 and any related Losses.

(b) Subject to Article IV, Vectrus shall indemnify Exelis and its Affiliates from all liability for Taxes for which Vectrus is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1 and any related Losses.

(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 thirty (30) days of being notified of the amount due by the indemnified Party. The notice by the indemnified Party requesting such payment shall be accompanied by the calculations and other information used to determine the indemnifying Party’s 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.

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 preparation of the Tax Return to which such Proceeding relates. 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; provided, however, that if Vectrus controls the Proceeding, it shall not settle such Proceeding in a manner that would result in an indemnity payment

 

6


from Exelis under this Agreement without the consent of Exelis (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that if Vectrus controls such Proceeding it may settle such Proceeding without the consent of Exelis so long as Vectrus waives its indemnification rights hereunder in respect of such Proceeding.

(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; provided that failure to provide notice pursuant to this sentence shall not relieve any Party of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent such Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. 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.

SECTION 2.4. Treatment of Payments; After Tax Basis .

(a) Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to between the Parties, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(d)) by: (i) Vectrus to Exelis shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Vectrus to Exelis with respect to the stock of Vectrus occurring immediately before the External Distribution; or (ii) Exelis to Vectrus shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by Exelis to Vectrus with respect to its stock occurring after Vectrus is directly owned by Exelis and immediately before the External Distribution; and in each case, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as required pursuant to this Agreement (ignoring any potential inconsistent or adverse Final Determination), such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.

(b) If the receipt or accrual of any payment pursuant to this Agreement (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(d)) results in taxable income to the indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have realized the same net amount they would have realized had the payment not resulted in taxable income.

(c) To the extent that any liability for Taxes or Losses that is subject to indemnification under this Agreement gives rise to a deduction, credit or other Tax benefit to the indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, the amount of any payment made under this Agreement shall be decreased by taking into account any actual reduction in Taxes (determined on a with and without basis) of the indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates resulting from such Tax benefit (including as a result of any election set forth in Section 4.5). If (i) such actual reduction in Taxes of the indemnified Party or its Affiliate occurs in a taxable period following the period in which the indemnification payment is made or (ii) any adjustment to the liability for Taxes for which one Party or any Affiliates is responsible hereunder gives rise to a deduction, credit or other Tax benefit (including as a result of any election set forth in Section 4.5) to the other Party or any of its Affiliates, the indemnified Party (or, in the case of (ii), the other Party) shall on an annual basis pay the indemnifying Party (or, in the case of (ii), the responsible Party) the amount of the actual reduction in Taxes (determined on a with and without basis); provided, however, that no such payment shall be required if the actual reduction in Taxes for the relevant year and any unpaid reduction in Taxes for all prior years is less than $50,000.

(d) 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

 

7


(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 LIBOR. 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.

(d) All Tax Returns for taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning before the Distribution Date that are required to be filed after the Distribution Date that could give rise to an indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 2.2 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 other Party’s request, share any such Tax Return with such other Party after the filing thereof.

10


percent or greater interest” (i.e., stock possessing at least 35 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or at least 35 percent of the total value of shares of all classes of stock, as such terms are used in Section 355(d)(4) of the Code), or (vii) take any other action (or series of actions), or permit any Subsidiary to take any such action (or series of actions), where the taking of such action (or series of actions) could reasonably be expected to cause any Distribution to fail to qualify under Section 355 of the Code or cause the stock of Vectrus or Systems distributed in any 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, Vectrus (and Systems, if applicable) (the “ Requesting Party ”) may take any of the Prohibited Acts, subject to Section 4.3, if (x) the Requesting Party first obtains (at its expense) an opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Exelis of a nationally recognized law firm or a “big four” accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Exelis, which opinion may be based on usual and customary factual representations (reasonably acceptable to Exelis) or (y) at the Requesting Party’s request, Exelis (at the expense of the Requesting Party) obtains a ruling from the IRS, that such Prohibited Act or Prohibited Acts, and any transaction related thereto, will not (a) affect (i) any of the conclusions set forth in the Opinion, (ii) the qualification of any Distribution as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(D) and Section 355 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law), (ii) imposed or incurred as a result of the stock of Vectrus distributed in the External Distribution or the stock of Exelis Holdings distributed in the Internal Distribution failing to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Section 355(d) or Section 355(e) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) and (iii) the nonrecognition of gain to Exelis in the External Distribution and the Plan of Separation and Systems in the Internal Distribution and the Plan of Separation, or (b) cause the stock of Vectrus distributed in the External Distribution or the stock of Holdings distributed in the Internal Distribution to fail to be treated as qualified property pursuant to Sections 355(d) or 355(e) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law). Vectrus (and Systems, if applicable) may also take any of the Prohibited Acts, subject to Section 4.3, with the consent of the other Party in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Non-Breaching Party and any of its Affiliates shall be indemnified and held harmless under this Section 4.3 without regard to whether an opinion pertaining to the action pursuant to Section 4.2 was obtained, and without regard to whether the Non-Breaching Party gave its consent to such action pursuant to Section 4.2 or otherwise.

SECTION 4.4. Procedural Matters .

(a) Notice . If either Vectrus or Exelis (or any of their Affiliates) receives any written notice of deficiency, claim or adjustment or any other written communication from a Taxing Authority that may

 

11


result in an Indemnified Liability, the Party receiving (or whose Affiliate has received) such notice or communication shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other Party, provided that any delay in such notification shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of any liability to the other Party hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay. Vectrus and Exelis (and any of their Affiliates) undertake and agree that from and after such time as any Party obtains knowledge that any representative of a Taxing Authority has begun to investigate or inquire into any Distribution (whether or not such investigation or inquiry is a formal or informal investigation or inquiry), such Party (the “ Knowledge Party ”), shall (i) notify the other Party thereof, provided that any delay by any Knowledge Party in so notifying the other Party shall not relieve such other Party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent such other Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay, (ii) consult with the other Party from time to time as to the conduct of such investigation or inquiry, (iii) provide the other Party with copies of all correspondence between the Knowledge Party or its representatives and such Taxing Authority or any representative thereof pertaining to such investigation or inquiry, and (iv) cooperate with the other Party to permit a representative (reasonably satisfactory to the Knowledge Party) of the other Party 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 the other Party’s representation at such meetings shall be borne by such Party.

(b) Tax Proceedings Controlled by Exelis . With respect to any Proceeding that may result in an Indemnified Liability with respect to which Vectrus would be entitled to indemnification from Exelis, Exelis shall be entitled to direct and control the defense or settlement of such Proceeding at its own expense.

(c) Tax Proceedings Controlled by Vectrus . With respect to any Proceeding that may result in an Indemnified Liability with respect to which Exelis would be entitled to indemnification from Vectrus, Vectrus shall be entitled to direct and control the defense or settlement of such Proceeding at its own expense; provided that Vectrus shall not settle such Proceeding without the prior written consent of Exelis (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Vectrus undertakes and agrees to (i) consult with Exelis from time to time as to the conduct of any such Proceeding over which it exercises direction and control, (iii) provide Exelis with copies of all correspondence between Vectrus or its representatives and such Taxing Authority or any representative thereof pertaining to such Proceeding, and (iv) cooperate with Exelis to permit a representative (reasonably satisfactory to Vectrus) of Exelis to be present at, and participate in (but not control), all meetings with such Taxing Authority or any representative thereof pertaining to such Proceeding, provided, that any costs relating to Exelis’s representation at such meetings shall be borne by Exelis.

(d) Time and Manner of Payment . Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Exelis or Vectrus, as the case may be, shall pay to the other Party the amount with respect to an Indemnified Liability determined pursuant to a Final Determination (less any amount paid directly by the indemnifying Party to the Taxing Authority) 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 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.

(e) Refund of Amounts . Should a Party or any of its Affiliates receive a refund in respect of an Indemnified Liability or other Taxes for which the other Party was responsible under this Article 4, or should any such amounts that would otherwise be refundable to such Party or any of its Affiliates be applied or credited by the Taxing Authority to obligations of such Party or any of its Affiliates unrelated to an Indemnified Liability, then such Party shall, promptly following receipt (or notification of credit),

 

12


remit such refund or an amount equal to such credit (including any statutory interest that is included in such refund or credited amount) to the other Party.

(h) Cooperation . Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, Exelis and Vectrus shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) reasonably cooperate with one another in a timely manner in any Proceeding involving any matter that may result in an Indemnified Liability. Exelis and Vectrus 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.

Exhibit 10.3

MASTER TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Master Transition Services Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of September 25, 2014, between Exelis Inc., an Indiana corporation (“ Exelis ”) and Vectrus, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“ Vectrus ”). Each of Exelis and Vectrus is sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Distribution Agreement of even date herewith, between Exelis and Vectrus (as such may be amended from time to time, the “ Distribution Agreement ”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Exelis has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Exelis, Exelis’s shareholders and Exelis’s other constituents, to separate, pursuant to and in accordance with the Distribution Agreement, Exelis into two separate, publicly traded companies, one for each of (i) the Exelis Retained Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Exelis and (ii) the MS Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Vectrus.

WHEREAS, in order to provide for an orderly transition under the Distribution Agreement, each of Exelis and Vectrus desires to provide to the other certain services for specified periods following the Distribution Date, all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

 

  1. Services Provided .

(a) With respect to each Service (as defined in Section 1(b) ), the Party required to provide such Service is the “ Service Provider ” and the other Party is the “ Service Recipient ”. In performing the Services, Service Provider and each of its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or to ensure that any Third Party Provider (as defined in Section 1(b) ) shall provide, the Services in the same manner, within the same amount of time and at the same level of service (including, as applicable, with respect to type, frequency, quality, and quantity), with the same degree of reasonable skill and care and with the same level of security and control as provided and used in providing the Services during the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Date (excluding any actions taken in contemplation of the Distribution). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an increase in the complexity of a Service (whether as a result of increased quantity or quality, changing frequency or regulatory requirements or otherwise), Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that such Service may not be provided within the same amount of time as it had previously taken during such period, and, in such a case, Service Provider and each of its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or to ensure that any Third Party Provider shall provide, such Service in a timely manner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Services are to be provided in a manner that does not disparately treat Service Recipient (or its Subsidiaries or its or their


personnel or business) as compared to Service Provider’s treatment of itself (or its Affiliates or its or their personnel or business) in connection with the provision of a Self-Service (as defined in Section 2(a)(v) ).

(b) During the period commencing on the Distribution Date and ending on the date that is two (2) years from the date thereof, unless an earlier or later date is otherwise specified for a Service on Schedule A or Schedule B hereto (for each such Service, such end date being herein referred to as the “ Termination Date ”, with Schedule A and Schedule B being herein referred to as the “ Services Schedules ”), Service Provider shall provide, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates or a contractor, subcontractor, vendor or other third-party service provider (each, a “ Third Party Provider ”) to provide, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the services described on the Services Schedules, including under the headings “General Services Description” and “Scope of Services” (the “ Services ”); provided , Service Provider shall obtain the consent of Service Recipient (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) in the event any such Service is to be provided by a Third Party Provider or Affiliate if such Services were not provided by such Third Party Provider or Affiliate to Service Recipient during the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Date; provided further , Service Provider shall remain primarily responsible for the performance by any such Affiliate or Third Party Provider of its obligations hereunder. Irrespective of whether Service Provider, an Affiliate or a Third Party Provider is providing a Service, Service Recipient may direct that any such Service be provided directly to Service Recipient or any other member of such Party’s Group.

(c) Each Service provided hereunder shall be terminated on its applicable Termination Date (as defined in Section 1(b) ), unless otherwise terminated earlier by Service Recipient pursuant to Section 11 . Service Provider shall be under no obligation to provide a Service to Service Recipient after the Termination Date applicable to such Service, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Service Provider and Service Recipient.

 

  2. Consideration .

(a) Costs and Fees .

(i) For each Service, Service Recipient shall pay (in accordance with Section 2(b) ) Service Provider an amount equal to the Monthly Costs (as defined in Section 2(a)(i)(1) ); provided that (i) for any Service performed from and after January 1, 2015 through and including the day before the expiration date of the Minimum Service Period (as defined in Section 11(b) ) for such Service, Service Recipient shall pay, along with and in addition to such Monthly Costs, an amount equal to 2% of such Monthly Costs, and (ii) for any Service performed from and after the expiration date of the Minimum Service Period for such Service through and including the date as of which the provision of such Service hereunder has been terminated, Service Recipient shall pay, along with and in addition to the Monthly Costs, an amount equal to 10% of such Monthly Costs, unless, upon request by Service Recipient to terminate a Service, Service Provider is unable to transition the Service to Service Recipient or its designated Subsidiary in a commercially reasonable manner which does not unduly disrupt the Service and as a result, Service Recipient is unable to terminate such Service on or after the date on which the Minimum Service Period expires (in which case any third party, out-of-pocket costs resulting to Service Recipient shall be shared in accordance with Section 11(b) ).

 

2


(1) The “Monthly Costs” for each Service shall be an amount equal to the sum of (A) the costs or expenses incurred as set forth on the applicable Services Schedule; provided that if a Services Schedule is silent regarding costs and expenses, the amount under this subsection (A) shall be equal to Service Provider’s allocated costs (including salary, wages and benefits, but excluding severance and retention costs, which shall be handled pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) ) for any of its (or its Affiliates’) employees involved in providing Services, plus (B) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with retaining Third Party Providers, including any fees for any Third Party License, Third Party Consent or Alternate Method, or pursuing any warranty or indemnity against a Third Party Provider in accordance with Section 3(d) ; plus (C) any sales, transfer, goods, services, value added, gross receipts or similar taxes, fees, charges or assessments (including any such taxes that are required to be withheld); provided that the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such tax with respect to the Services, plus (D) other reasonable miscellaneous out-of-pocket costs and expenses; provided , however , that any such expenses exceeding $5,000 per month for each Service (other than routine business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of Service Recipient. The Monthly Costs for a Service shall not include any severance and retention costs incurred by Service Provider as a result of retaining the necessary employees to supply such Service to Service Recipient in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which costs shall be handled pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) below.

(2) Any costs and expenses provided for on a Services Schedule shall be subject to an increase of 4.5% per annum beginning on January 1, 2015 in order to adjust for inflation.

(3) Service Provider shall notify Service Recipient of any event that may reasonably be expected to increase the Monthly Costs by more than 5%.

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Section 2(a)(ii) , Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain its workforce required to provide the Services and, consistent with its severance and retention policies then in effect, may make severance and retention payments to employees providing the Services. As provided for on Annex A (the “ Severance and Retention Schedule ”), Service Recipient shall be responsible for the percentage as therein provided of Service Provider’s actual severance and retention costs (which are estimated in the Severance and Retention Schedule) for those individuals or job descriptions as set forth therein; provided that Service Recipient shall only be so responsible for its portion of severance costs if such costs were incurred as a result of terminating such an employee in connection with the termination of a Service; provided further that (a) if the severance and retention costs change from the estimates provided in the Severance and Retention Schedule, Service Recipient shall be responsible for its percentage of such costs so long as such change in costs is consistent

 

3


with the Service Provider’s severance and retention policies as then in effect and (b) any such employee is actually terminated and not rehired for at least ninety (90) days following such termination. Service Provider shall prepare and deliver, within thirty (30) days following the end of each quarterly period ending each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (it being understood that the first such period shall be shorter than one quarter), to Service Recipient an invoice setting forth the amount of severance and retention costs to be paid by Service Recipient in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a)(ii) , which invoice Service Recipient shall pay pursuant to the terms of Section 2(b) .

(iii) Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, (i) where Services are provided in a country outside of the United States by a Person located in the same country, amounts shall be invoiced and paid in the local currency of the entity providing the Services and (ii) if payments are to be made between legal entities not within the same country, such amounts shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. Dollars. To the extent necessary, local currency conversion on any such invoice shall be based on Service Provider’s internal exchange rate for the then-current month, based upon the average for such month, as calculated consistently with how such local currency conversion was calculated in the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Date.

(iv) All charges based on a monthly or other time basis will be pro-rated based on actual calendar days elapsed during the period of service.

(v) With respect to any service that a Service Provider provides or causes an Affiliate to provide to itself or its Affiliates that is the same or substantially similar to a Service provided to Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries hereunder (such service, a “ Self- Service ”), if Service Provider determines to no longer provide such Self –Service to itself or its Affiliates, Service Provider shall notify Service Recipient of such termination no later than the number of days prior to such termination as is provided in Section 11(b) for terminating the corresponding Service. If Service Provider terminates a Self-Service prior to the end of the Minimum Service Period applicable for the corresponding Service, the Monthly Costs of such Service following any such termination and up to but not including date on which the Minimum Service Period expires shall be calculated as if Service Provider had not terminated such Self-Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider shall continue to provide the Service in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Service is otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 11, and Service Provider shall not be permitted to terminate any Self-Service prior to the Termination Date for the applicable Service if such termination would adversely affect the level of service, security or control of such Service or the scope or content thereof required pursuant to Sections 1(a) and 4(a ).

(b) Invoices and Payment .

(i) Service Provider shall invoice Service Recipient for the amounts owed hereunder in arrears on a calendar monthly basis or, in the case of Section 2(a)(ii) , as provided therein, and shall provide reasonable documentation supporting such amounts

 

4


owed pursuant to Section 2(a) , except to the extent such amounts are set forth on the Services Schedules. Service Recipient shall pay the amount of such invoice by electronic transfer of immediately available funds not later than forty-five (45) days after of the date of such invoice. Neither Party nor any of its respective Subsidiaries shall have a right of set-off against the other Party or its Subsidiaries, except in connection with any amounts billed hereunder. In the event Service Recipient does not pay Service Provider in accordance with the terms hereof (i) all amounts so payable and past due shall accrue interest from the 46th day after the date of the invoice to the receipt of payment at a rate per annum equal to the six (6)-month LIBOR rate (as quoted in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or any other similarly reputable published source on the 31st day after the date of the invoice, or the next Business Day, if such day is not a Business Day) plus 3% (the “ Interest Rate ”, with the applicable rate to be recalculated every six months), until such amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full, and (ii) Service Recipient shall pay, as additional fees, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider in attempting to collect and collecting amounts due under this Section 3 , including all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses.

(ii) In the event that Service Recipient in good faith disputes an invoice submitted by Service Provider, Service Recipient may withhold payment of any amount subject to the dispute; provided , however , that (x) Service Recipient shall continue to pay all undisputed amounts in accordance with the terms hereof, (y) Service Recipient shall notify Service Provider, in writing, of any disputed amounts and the reason for any dispute by the due date for payment of the invoice containing any disputed charges and (z) in the event any dispute is resolved in the Service Provider’s favor, any amount that the Service Recipient should have paid shall be deemed to have accrued interest at the Interest Rate from the date such payment should have been made. In the event of a dispute regarding the amount of any invoice, the Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after Service Recipient provides written notification of such dispute to Service Provider. Each Party shall provide full supporting documentation concerning any disputed amount or invoice within thirty (30) days after written notification of the dispute. Unpaid fees that are under good faith dispute shall not be considered a basis for default hereunder. To the extent that a dispute regarding the amount of any invoice cannot be resolved pursuant to this Section 2(b)(ii) , the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 9 herein shall apply.

 

  3. Cooperation .

(a) At either Party’s request, Service Recipient and Service Provider shall cooperate and work together in good faith to develop a global transition plan in order to facilitate a smooth and orderly termination of a Service by its applicable Termination Date or at such earlier time as Service Recipient terminates Service Provider’s performance of the Services in accordance with Section 11 . In furtherance of the foregoing, Service Provider will, if requested and at Service Recipient’s expense, provide Service Recipient with reasonable support necessary to transition or migrate the services to Service Recipient or any third party or parties chosen by the Service Recipient, which may include consulting and training and providing reasonable

 

5


access to data and other information and to Service Provider’s employees; provided , however , that such activities shall not unduly burden or interfere with Service Provider’s business and operations.

(b) It is understood that it will require significant efforts by the Parties to implement this Agreement and ensure performance hereunder. Service Recipient shall (i) cooperate with and provide Service Provider with such information and documentation as is reasonably necessary for Service Provider to perform the Services; and (ii) perform such other duties and tasks as may be reasonably required to permit Service Provider to perform the Services, including (x) cooperating in obtaining any consents or approvals from third parties necessary to facilitate Service Provider’s ability to provide the Services and (y) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice by the Service Provider, conducting such testing as may be reasonably required by Service Provider in connection with any updates or changes to the applicable systems or processes involved in providing a Service. A Service Provider shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations to provide or make available any Service to the extent that Service Recipient has not provided information and access to appropriate personnel that is reasonably necessary for the performance of such Service.

(c) Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make or obtain any approvals, permits and licenses and implement any systems as may be necessary for it to perform the Services independently in each country and applicable jurisdiction as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date.

(d) Upon Service Recipient’s written request and without prejudice to Service Recipient’s direct rights against a Third Party Provider, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any warranty or indemnity under any contract Service Provider or its Subsidiaries may have with a Third Party Provider with respect to any Service provided to Service Recipient by such Third Party Service Provider.

(e) Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, if required, the consent of any relevant Third Party Provider (a “ Third Party Consent ”) or a license from any relevant Third Party Provider (a “ Third Party License ”), and Service Recipient shall, as necessary, cooperate with Service Provider in obtaining any such Third Party Consent or Third Party License. If a Third Party Consent or Third Party License cannot be obtained on reasonable terms, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for an alternative method of obtaining any such Service on Service Recipient’s behalf (“ Alternative Method” ), which may include Service Provider providing such Service itself. If there is any Third Party Consent or Third Party License which was not required as of the date hereof but will subsequently be required before the Minimum Service Period expires for a particular Service, Service Provider shall identify in writing to Service Recipient such Third Party Consent or Third Party License within sixty (60) days of the date hereof.

(f) The Parties shall use the fiscal month, quarter and year ends as set forth in Schedule C in connection with the provision and receipt of applicable Services hereunder, for so long as such Services are being provided.

 

6


(g) In connection with the provision of Services hereunder, except as provided pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) for local currency conversion for invoices, the Parties shall use the same methodology to determine the appropriate foreign exchange conversion rate as used in the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Date, which may be determined or based upon the average for the month or other applicable period or the spot rate at the end of such month or period or otherwise.

 

  4. Performance Standard; Reports; Personnel .

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Services Schedule and Section 1(a) herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require or be interpreted to require Service Provider to provide a Service to Service Recipient beyond the scope and content of such Service as provided by Service Provider to the Exelis Retained Business or MS Business, as the case may be, during the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Date, excluding any actions taken in contemplation of the Distribution.

(b) Service Provider shall not make changes in the manner of providing a Service unless (i) Service Provider is making similar changes in a Self-Service being performed for itself or its Subsidiaries or such changes are de minimus , in each case so long as such changes do not adversely affect the level of service, security or control of such Service or the scope or content thereof required pursuant to Sections 1(a) and 4(a ) above, (ii) such changes are required by Service Provider or Service Recipient pursuant to applicable Law (including changes required by Service Provider or Service Recipient in connection with the provision of the Services to the other Party) or (iii) Service Recipient provides its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such changes (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, with the costs of any such change to be included in the calculation of Monthly Costs). In the event Service Provider determines to change the location of delivery of any Service, Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with thirty (30) days prior written notice. All Services shall be performed in compliance with applicable Law, including all applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations relating to export controls, sanctions, and imports, including without limitation those regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Export Administration Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.

(c) In performing the Services, Service Provider shall prepare and furnish to Service Recipient reports concerning the Services with such reports to contain substantially the same data, in substantially the same format, and prepared and delivered on substantially the same timetable, as reports prepared during the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Date (excluding any reports solely prepared in contemplation of the Distribution), except as may be otherwise required by Service Recipient or Service Provider pursuant to applicable Law. Upon Service Recipient’s written request for modifications to the reporting and data transfer practices reasonably required to assist Service Recipient in transitioning off the Service, Service Provider shall cooperate and consult in good faith with Service Recipient to make such modifications; provided that if Service Provider reasonably determines in its sole discretion that any such modification may cause Service Provider to be in breach of its obligations to the other Party

 

7


hereunder (including as a result of breaching its obligations as a Service Provider to the other Party as Service Recipient), then Service Provider shall not be under any obligation to make such modifications.

(d) Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practice to make available such personnel as may be required to provide the Services. Service Provider shall have the right to designate which personnel it will assign to perform the Services. Service Provider also shall have the right to remove and replace any such personnel at any time or designate any of its Subsidiaries or a Third Party Provider (subject to Section 1(a) herein) at any time to perform the Transition Services; provided , however , that Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practice to limit the disruption to Service Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel. Subject to and consistent with Section 2(a)(ii) , Service Provider shall have no obligation to retain any individual employee for the sole purpose of providing a particular Transition Service.

(e) In the event Service Recipient or any of its Subsidiaries hires away an employee of Service Provider or its Subsidiaries, and such employee was providing Services to Service Recipient and will not continue to provide such Service, Service Provider shall have the option, in its sole discretion (in addition to any other remedies available to it under the Distribution Agreement or otherwise), upon ten (10) Business Days written notice to Service Recipient to reduce its obligations with respect to such Service (with a proportionate reduction in the applicable Monthly Costs) effective on the date of such employee’s termination of employment with Service Provider. Any provision of Service thereafter pursuant to such a reduction in Service Provider’s obligations shall be deemed to be consistent with Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement, so long as Service Provider satisfies the other obligations contained in this Section 4 with respect to such Service.

(f) Each Party agrees that it shall take appropriate action by instruction of or agreement with its personnel (including any Third Party Provider) to ensure that all such personnel performing or otherwise involved with Services shall be bound by and comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(g) In the event Service Provider has received a notice of default or breach in the performance of a Service hereunder (including as a result of substantial errors in the performance of such Service), it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure such default or breach. In the event Service Provider is unable to cure such default within thirty (30) days from receipt of notice thereof, in addition to the rights available under Section 11 , there shall be an adjustment to Monthly Costs to reflect the costs to Service Recipient associated with such default, breach or error, including any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Service Recipient in retaining any Third Party Provider to provide such Service or in providing such Service itself.

(h) Each Party shall notify the other Party as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of any breach of this Agreement committed by either it or the other Party.

Subject to the foregoing, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent that may be required from such licensors in order to provide any of the Services hereunder and the Parties shall cooperate to identify any material licenses or consents necessary for such provision and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the costs associated therewith.

(b) If the receipt or provision of any Service hereunder requires the use by a Party of the Intellectual Property (other than Trademarks) of the other Party, then such Party and its Subsidiaries shall have the non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable (except as required for its and its Subsidiaries’ receipt or provision of Services) right and license to use such Intellectual Property for the sole purpose of, and only to the extent necessary for, the receipt or provision of such Services hereunder, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This license does not permit a Party to access, possess, or modify the source code of the other Party or to reverse engineer the software of the other Party.

(e) Those employees of Service Recipient and Service Provider (or their respective Affiliates) having access to the other Party’s Systems may be required by Service Provider or Service Recipient, as the case may be, to enter into a customary non-disclosure agreement in connection with, and as a condition to, such access.

  8. Force Majeure; Reduction of Services .

Neither Party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event: (a) notify the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as feasible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Recipient shall be entitled to terminate Services so affected by a Force Majeure upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice in respect of any such delay or failure resulting from any such Force Majeure without any penalty or obligation to pay for Services not performed; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Service Recipient shall remain responsible, pursuant to and in accordance Section 2(a)(ii), for its portion of any severance and retention costs for any such Services.

11


such Party), who shall attempt within a period of fifteen (15) days following the end of such previous thirty (30) day period to conclusively resolve any such issue, and in the event the dispute remains unresolved following such fifteen (15) day period, either Party may submit the dispute to mediation in accordance with Section 9.2 (Mediation) of the Distribution Agreement (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the forty-five (45) day waiting period referenced therein shall be inapplicable), and if any dispute remains unresolved after the Mediation Period (as defined in the Distribution Agreement), such dispute shall be determined, at the request of either Party, by arbitration in accordance with Section 9.3 (Arbitration) of the Distribution Agreement and the other applicable provisions of Article IX (Dispute Resolution) of the Distribution Agreement. Each Party may treat an act of any other Party’s TSA Manager or Chief Financial Officer (or such other executive as designated by the Chief Executive Officer of such other Party), in each case that is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as being authorized by such other Party to resolve such dispute without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such TSA Manager or Chief Financial Officer (or such other executive as designated by the Chief Executive Officer of such other Party) had authority to so act; provided, however, that none of the TSA Managers or Chief Financial Officer or other executives so designated shall have authority to amend this Agreement, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 16 .

(c) In the event of any dispute between the Parties regarding a Service, prior to the applicable Termination Date, Service Provider shall not discontinue the supply of any such Service, unless so provided for in a settlement agreement between the Parties or arbitral determination pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9(b) herein and Article IX of the Distribution Agreement or as requested by Service Recipient pursuant to a Termination Notice.

Other than in the event of Service Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and other than for the Monthly Costs, severance and retention costs owed under Section 2(a)(ii) and other amounts expressly owed hereunder, Service Recipient will not be liable for any damages caused in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement.

Service Recipient shall have no responsibility to maintain insurance to cover any loss or damage to goods or equipment to which Service Provider has title that are in the possession or control of Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries as a result of this Agreement and the risk of loss with respect to such goods or equipment shall be solely with Service Provider. Service Provider shall obtain from its insurance company a waiver of subrogation on behalf of Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries effective as of the Distribution Date; provided , that Service Provider shall only be obligated to obtain such waiver if it is aware that any such goods or equipment is in the possession or control of Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries.

(c) NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION), ARE MADE BY SERVICE PROVIDER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY, SHALL SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE FOR, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOST PROFITS, REMITTANCES, COLLECTIONS, INVOICES, PENALTIES, INTEREST OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES CAUSE BY THE PERFORMANCE OF, ANY DELAY IN THE PERFORMING, FAILURE TO PERFORM OR DEFECTS IN THE PERFORMANCE OF, THE SERVICES CONTEMPLATED TO BE PERFORMED BY SERVICE PROVIDER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

  11. Term and Service Termination Dates .

(a) This Agreement (other than Sections 9 , 10 , 11 and 13 ) shall terminate upon the last of the Termination Dates in respect of all Services to be provided hereunder; provided that the rights of the parties in respect of any claims that have accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

(b) For each Service, the minimum service period (“ Minimum Service Period ”) during which Service Provider is obligated to provide such Service to Service Recipient is set forth on the Services Schedule. The Parties agree to cooperate if necessary to adjust such Minimum Service Period (and the applicable Termination Date) to end on a date that is the end

 

13


of a calendar or fiscal month, as deemed appropriate. Service Recipient may terminate any Service prior to its Termination Date by providing to Service Provider written notice of termination, which shall be deemed irrevocable upon delivery (a “ Termination Notice ”), not less than (i) sixty (60) days before the date of such earlier termination if the Service is to be terminated after September 30, 2014 but on or before March 31, 2015, (iii) ninety (90) days before the date of such earlier termination if Service is to be terminated after March 31, 2015 but on or before September 30, 2015 and (iv) one hundred and twenty (120) days before the date of such earlier termination if Service is to be terminated on or after October 1, 2015; provided that if the Services Schedule indicates that any Service is dependent on one or more other Services, then each such Service must be terminated together; provided further that any termination may be on a location by location basis if so indicated on the Services Schedules. In the event a Service is terminated prior to the end of its Minimum Service Period pursuant to Service Recipient’s Termination Notice, Service Recipient shall pay a make-whole fee equal to the actual out-of-pocket costs and any additional costs that would have been incurred by Service Provider if such Service had not been terminated (which costs, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude the 2% and 10% increases described in Section 2(a)(i) ) between the actual date of termination of the Service and the applicable date on which the Minimum Service Period expires (subject to Service Provider exercising commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the receipt of a Termination Notice, if Service Provider is unable to transition the applicable Service to the Service Recipient or its designee in a commercially reasonable manner which does not unduly disrupt the Service on the requested termination date, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practice to transition such Service as soon as possible, and any resulting third party, out-of-pocket costs to Service Recipient shall be shared equally between Service Provider and Service Recipient.

(c) In the event either Party defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and if such default is not excused and not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the other Party specifying such default, then the non-defaulting Party may at any time thereafter terminate, at its option, any such Service that is the subject of such default by giving five (5) days prior written notice; provided that if no such termination notice is given within fifteen (15) days after the end of the thirty (30) day cure period, then the non-defaulting Party waives all rights to terminate such Service with respect to such default; provided further , that such fifteen (15) day period referred to in the immediately foregoing proviso shall be extended if (x) the Parties dispute whether there has been a default hereunder or (y) agree that there has been a default hereunder and have a dispute related to such default, and in either case are attempting to resolve such dispute pursuant to Section 9(b) until ten (10) days after there has been a final determination pursuant to the procedures in Section 9(b) .

(d) Any Service can be terminated prior to the Distribution Date, with no fee, penalty or ongoing obligation, if Service Recipient provides a Termination Notice to Service Provider (which may be via email) prior to the Distribution Date.

Exelis successfully completes spin-off of Vectrus, Inc.

MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 27, 2014 – Exelis (NYSE: XLS ) today completed the previously announced separation of its former Mission Systems government services business into a new independent, publicly traded company, Vectrus, Inc. The spin-off has been structured to qualify as a tax-free distribution to Exelis shareholders for U.S. federal tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares. Following the spin-off, Exelis will report Vectrus financial results prior to the spin-off as discontinued operations beginning with the Exelis 2014 annual report on Form 10-K.

Shares of Exelis common stock will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “XLS” and shares of Vectrus will begin “regular way” trading on the NYSE under the symbol “VEC” on September 29, 2014. Exelis shareholders will initially own all of the common shares of Vectrus, with each Exelis shareholder receiving one share of Vectrus common stock for every eighteen shares of Exelis stock held as of September 18, 2014, the spin-off record date.

Exelis will continue as a leader in command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) related products, networks and systems, and retain a portfolio of affordable, mission critical and platform-agnostic products and services for managing global threats, conflicts and complexities. Following the spin-off, Exelis will focus its investments on strengthening four strategic growth platforms – critical networks, ISR & analytics, electronic warfare and aerostructures. Vectrus will leverage its global presence and long history in the government services market to deliver infrastructure asset management, information technology and network communication services, and logistics and supply chain management to a wide range of customers.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On September 27, 2014, Exelis Inc. (“Exelis” or the “Company”) completed the previously announced spin-off of Vectrus, Inc. (“Vectrus”), its former Mission Systems business, through a pro rata distribution to the Company’s shareholders of one share of Vectrus common stock for every 18 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such shareholders as of September 18, 2014 (the “Record Date”), resulting in a total distribution of approximately 10.5 million shares of Vectrus common stock. In connection with the spin-off, Vectrus made a net cash distribution of $136 million to a subsidiary of Exelis on September 26, 2014. This cash distribution is subject to a working capital adjustment. Vectrus filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) describing the spin-off and other information about Vectrus that was declared effective by the SEC on September 8, 2014.

Vectrus was part of the Company’s Information and Technical Services segment and included the following major program areas: Infrastructure Asset Management; Logistics and Supply Chain Management; and Information Technology and Network Communication Services. Immediately after the spin-off, the Company does not beneficially own any shares of Vectrus common stock and will not consolidate the financial results of Vectrus for its future financial reporting. Vectrus’ financial results prior to the spin-off will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Prior to the completion of the spin-off, the Company and Vectrus entered into a Distribution Agreement and related separation agreements that will govern the post-separation relationship between the Company and Vectrus. These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations following the spin-off, including employee benefits, intellectual property, information technology, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities. The agreements also describe the Company’s future commitments to provide Vectrus with certain temporary transition services.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information consists of unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and an unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, which were derived from the Company’s historical consolidated and combined financial statements and give effect to the spin-off. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read together with the Company’s historical consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 reflect the Company’s results as if the spin-off and related transactions described below had occurred as of January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 reflects the Company’s financial position as if the spin-off and related transactions described below had occurred as of that date.


The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information gives effect to the spin-off and related transactions, including:

 

    the transfer to Vectrus of Company assets and liabilities that are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to Vectrus;

 

    the elimination of the Company’s equity interest in Vectrus;

 

    the removal of certain non-recurring separation costs directly related to the spin-off transaction; and

 

    the net cash distribution from Vectrus to a subsidiary of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations had the spin-off and related transactions occurred as of and for the periods indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition had the spin-off been completed on the dates assumed. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that Exelis management believes are reasonable, that reflect the impacts of events directly attributable to the spin-off, that are factually supportable, and for purposes of the statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on Exelis. The pro forma adjustments may differ from those that will be calculated to report Vectrus as a discontinued operation in the Company’s future filings.

See the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for a more detailed discussion of these transactions.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

(IN MILLIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

Statements of Operations and Balance Sheet

(A) The adjustments reflect the discontinued operations of Vectrus; including the removal of the assets, liabilities, equity and results of operations of Vectrus and non-recurring separation costs directly related to the spin-off transaction, and excluding certain general corporate overhead expenses that were not specifically related to Vectrus and that did not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The non-recurring separation costs removed were $6, $2, $0 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(B) The adjustments reflect the net cash distribution from Vectrus to Exelis. The distribution was funded by the proceeds from a senior secured term loan issued by Vectrus in connection with the spin-off.
