A SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
Salary Continuance Period
This summary highlights the benefit plans available during the salary continuance period. It is not intended to provide complete descriptions of the plans. The Summary Plan Descriptions and Plan Documents for these benefit plans contain more information. In the event of any conflict between the summaries and the Plan Documents, the Plan Documents will control. Although Raytheon intends to keep the benefit plans described in this summary in operation, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate them, or adjust your contribution rates at any time.
Please contact your Human Resources representative for more information. For more complete information, contact the Raytheon Benefit Center at 000-000-0000.
Benefits After Your Last Day Worked
Please note during the salary continuance period you will be treated as a laid-off employee. A layoff is considered a qualified change in status that would permit you to change some of your current benefit elections. You can change your benefit elections by contacting the Raytheon Benefit Center at 000-000-0000. The changes that you make must be due to and consistent with your change in status.
Last Day Worked: Your last day worked is December 31, 2015.
Salary Continuance Period: Your Salary Continuance Period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. As provided in the Transition Agreement salary continuance payments and benefits are conditional on your execution of the General Release.
Medical and Vision Coverage: Your Raytheon Medical and Vision Plans will continue through your Salary Continuance Period. Employee contributions during this period will be required and deducted directly from your severance check. For questions about your medical coverage and/or current claim status, call the member service number indicated on your ID card.
Health Savings Account (HSA): If you have an HSA while enrolled in the Raytheon-sponsored United Healthcare HSA or HSA 2 medical plan, Raytheon will stop the employer contribution to the HSA as of the last day of the month in which your employment ended. Your pre-tax contributions to your HSA account will continue to be deducted from your severance checks. Please contact OptumHealth Bank at 000-000-0000 for more information. Once your Salary Continuance Period ends, you can continue to contribute to your HSA if you elect the United Healthcare HSA through COBRA.

ATTACHMENT B
Dental Coverage: Your Raytheon Dental Plan coverage will continue through your Salary Continuance Period, subject to the Benefits Coverage Period exception described above. Employee contributions, if applicable, will be deducted directly from your severance check. For questions about your dental coverage and/or current claim status, call the member services line at your dental carrier.
Medical, Dental, Vision, and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Coverage Under COBRA: You are eligible to purchase the same medical, dental, vision, and EAP coverage under the provisions of federal COBRA regulations for up to 18 months from your last day of work. Please note that the coverage you have during your Salary Continuance Period is included as part of the 18 months of COBRA eligibility.
The Raytheon Benefit Center (COBRA administrator) will mail detailed information, including the cost of coverage and how to apply, to your last known address on file at the Raytheon Benefit Center (RBC) within 14 days of receiving notification of your coverage termination. You will then have 60 days from the end of your Benefits Coverage Period as stated in your Benefits Notice (which includes your Salary Continuance Period) to make elections to continue coverage. You will NOT receive another COBRA notice after your Benefits Coverage Period expires. Failure to make COBRA premium payments in a timely manner will result in termination of COBRA coverage.
After your COBRA coverage ends, you may be able to purchase a non-group medical insurance policy from the medical plan carrier that provided your COBRA coverage. This policy will differ from the COBRA group plan. To determine if your health plan offers a conversion option, and what the cost would be, call the member service number for your medical plan carrier.
There are no provisions for converting your Dental and Vision Care coverages.
You may also find that other coverage options are available to you under the Affordable Care Act through the Health Insurance Marketplace exchanges in your state. You may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly insurance premium. Being eligible for COBRA does not limit your eligibility for the tax credit. Additionally, under HIPAA, you may qualify for a special enrollment opportunity for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if the plan generally does not accept late enrollees, if you request enrollment within 30 days.
The Health Care Flexible Spending Account Plan (FSA): Health Care FSA deductions will continue during your Salary Continuance Period, subject to the Benefits Coverage Period exception described above. You may submit reimbursement requests for expenses incurred as of the earliest of:
| • | Your last day of Plan participation (last day you make contributions), or |
| • | December 31st of the year for which you are enrolled. |
- 2 -
ATTACHMENT B
Only expenses incurred while you are making Health Care FSA deferrals are eligible for reimbursement.
Reimbursement requests must be submitted by March 31st of the calendar year following the end of your enrollment or you will lose your unclaimed account balance.
If you were enrolled in and contributing to a Health Care FSA as of the last day of your Salary Continuance Period, subject to the Benefits Coverage Period exception described above, you may continue contributing to your Health Care FSA under the provisions of federal COBRA regulations by paying monthly prorata after-tax payments of 102% of your FSA goal amount (2% is added for administrative expense as permitted by COBRA). The COBRA administrator will be notified of your coverage termination within 30 days of your last day worked. Once you have enrolled, your COBRA coverage can be in effect for up to 18 months from the date of your last day worked. Your Salary Continuance Period is included as part of the 18 months. You will NOT receive another COBRA notice after your Benefits Coverage Period expires. Failure to make COBRA premium payments in a timely manner will result in termination of COBRA coverage. You must continue your contributions on an after-tax basis in order to be eligible for reimbursement. You will not be able to receive reimbursement for expenses incurred after the date your Health Care FSA participation ends, regardless of your account balance.
The Health Care FSA card is not available to COBRA participants. You must use a claim form to submit all expenses to the FSA administrator for reimbursement. Claim forms are available by contacting the FSA administrator directly.
Health Care FSA participants enrolled and making contributions into the plan as of December 31st have an additional two and one-half months after the end of the year to use funds remaining in their FSA to pay claims incurred prior to December 31st. Claims incurred after that date are not eligible for reimbursement from your FSA.
Dental and Vision Flexible Spending Account (for HSA participants): Dental and Vision FSA deductions will continue during your Salary Continuance Period, subject to the Benefits Coverage Period exception described above. You may submit reimbursement requests for expenses incurred as of the earliest of:
| • | Your last day of Plan participation (last day you make contributions), or |
| • | December 31 of the year for which you are enrolled. |
Only expenses incurred while you are making Dental and Vision FSA deferrals are eligible for reimbursement.

If you prefer that loan repayments not be taken from your severance pay, you may call Payroll at 000-000-0000 to request that. When your severance pay ends, you may continue to not make loan repayments but at the end of this 12-month period, you must make up the payments that you missed. If you do so, you may set up ACH payments to transmit monthly loan payments directly to Fidelity from your bank for the remainder of the loan’s repayment term. If ACH payments are not possible, you may request a coupon book and begin making monthly loan payments for the remainder of the loan’s repayment term. |

ATTACHMENT B
If you begin making loan payments before the 12 month period ends but do not make up the payments that you missed by the end of that 12 month period, the loan will be defaulted and the outstanding balance will be treated as a taxable distribution from the plan and subject to applicable income taxes and penalties.
You will receive information from Fidelity regarding distribution options for your RAYSIP account. If you have any questions about RAYSIP, call the Raytheon Savings and Investment Service Line’s toll-free number: 000-000-0000. Please call that number to update your address and beneficiary information. Even if you take a full distribution of your RAYSIP balance, it’s a good idea to update your address (including your email address) because RAYSIP frequently receives dividends and other investment fund settlement proceeds that could be credited to your account months and years after you’ve taken a distribution.
