a preliminary, unaudited balance sheet (the "Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet")
relating to the Businesses and a worksheet reflecting the calculation of the Net

Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Net Working Capital

accordance with instructions to be provided by Buyer) the amount by which Target

Capital Calculation exceeds the Target Net Working Capital. Buyer shall transfer
to Seller the amount of any Additional Purchase Price (via wire transfer in

the delivery of such invoice.
(b) Upon completion of the Preliminary Net Working Capital Calculation,
Seller shall engage Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP ("PWC"), independent auditors
for Seller, to perform an audit of the Preliminary Net Working Capital
Calculation in accordance with the principles and procedures set forth in
Appendix II hereto. PWC will be instructed to report on the Preliminary Net
Working Capital Calculation (the "PWC Report"). The PWC Report and accompanying

delivered to Buyer within sixty (60) days following the Closing. During the
preparation of the PWC Report and the period of any dispute within the
contemplation of this Section 2.5, Buyer shall (i) provide Seller and Seller's
authorized representatives with reasonable access to the Subject Assets and the
Executive Management who accept employment with Buyer, (ii) provide Seller
within fifteen (15) business days after the Closing Date with normal month-end

access to the work papers used in preparation thereof. Buyer and its authorized
representatives shall have reasonable access to all relevant books and records
and employees of Seller to the extent required to complete their review of the
PWC Report. Buyer may dispute only those items reflected on the PWC Report which
relate to Closing Date Net Working Capital and only on the basis that such
amounts were not arrived at in accordance with Appendix II. Buyer shall only be
entitled to dispute the PWC Report if Buyer's good faith estimate of the Closing
Date Net Working Capital differs from the Closing Date Net Working Capital as
shown on the PWC Report by an amount in excess of $500,000, after taking account
of any prior payment of Additional Purchase Price or remittance under Section
2.5(a). Unless Buyer delivers written notice to Seller on or prior to the 30th
day after Buyer's receipt of the PWC Report specifying in reasonable detail all
disputed items and the basis therefor (a "Dispute Notice") and the amount in
dispute is in excess of $500,000, after taking account of any prior payment of
Additional Purchase Price or remittance under Section 2.5(a), Buyer shall be
deemed to have accepted and agreed to the PWC Report. If Buyer so notifies
Seller of its objection to the PWC Report, Buyer and Seller shall, within thirty
(30) days following such Dispute Notice (the "Resolution Period"), attempt to
resolve their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts
shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable.
For purposes hereof, "Final Closing Date Net Working Capital" shall
mean the Closing Date Net Working Capital as agreed on by Buyer and Seller or
determined pursuant to the procedures of Appendix II. If following resolution of
any disputed amounts by agreement on or determination of Final Closing Date Net
Working Capital, there do not remain in dispute amounts the aggregate net effect
of which exceeds $500,000, then all amounts remaining in dispute shall be
allocated 50% to Seller and 50% to Buyer.
(d) If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period the aggregate net
effect of all amounts remaining in dispute exceeds $500,000, then all amounts
remaining in dispute shall be submitted to binding resolution in accordance with
the provision and procedures of Appendix I hereto, which provisions and
procedures are hereby incorporated by reference for all applicable purposes.
(e) The Purchase Price shall be (i) increased dollar for dollar to the
extent the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds Net Working Capital
reflected in the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, subject to and after taking
into account any payments made to Buyer or Seller under Section 2.5(a), above or
(ii) decreased dollar for dollar to the extent the Final Closing Date Net
Working Capital is less than Net Working Capital reflected in the Preliminary
Closing Balance Sheet, subject to and after taking into account any payments
made to Buyer or Seller under Section 2.5(a). Any adjustments to the Purchase
Price made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall bear interest from the Closing
Date through the date of payment at the annual rate of 8.5%. Any adjustments to
the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be paid by wire
transfer in immediately
14
available funds to the account specified by the party to whom such payment is
owed within five (5) business days after the Final Closing Date Net Working
Capital is agreed to by Buyer and Seller or any remaining disputed items are
ultimately determined by the Accounting Neutral pursuant to subsection (d),
above.
Section 2.6. Nonassignable Contracts. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to
assign any Contract, or any claim, contractual obligation or authorization of a
Governmental Authority, lease, commitment, sales, service or purchase order, or
any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if the
Asset Purchase would be deemed an attempted assignment thereof without the
required consent, approval or novation of a third party thereto and would
constitute a breach thereof, or in any way Adversely Affect the rights of Seller
or Buyer thereunder. Buyer acknowledges that the ability of the parties to
obtain the consents contemplated hereunder may be affected by a change in the
dynamics of the relevant market resulting from the Asset Purchase by the Buyer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such consent, approval or novation is not
obtained, or if the consummation of the Asset Purchase would Adversely Affect
the rights of Seller thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive the
benefit of all such rights, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any arrangement
designed to provide for the benefits thereof to Buyer, including without
limitation subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer or enforcement
for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a third party
thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third party or
otherwise; and any assumption by Buyer of obligations thereunder in connection
with the Asset Purchase which shall require the consent, approval or novation of
any third party shall be made subject to such consent, approval or novation
being obtained. Any third party cost (other than Contracts with customers of the
Businesses) in connection with obtaining any such consent, approval or novation
shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. Nothing in this Section 2.6
should be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its rights to receive an effective
assignment of all the Subject Assets.
Section 2.7. Intercompany Accounts. As of the close of business on the
day immediately preceding the Closing Date: (i) the Third-Party accounts
receivable identified on Schedule 2.7 as being retained by Seller ("Retained
Receivables") will be assigned to Seller or otherwise settled to Seller's
satisfaction, and (ii) all intercompany receivables or payables and loans then
existing, except for receivables and payables relating to materials sold or
services rendered under Government Contracts and other Third-party Contracts (in
each case to the extent reflected in the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital
Calculation) between Seller (as it relates to the Businesses), on the one hand,
and any other division or Affiliate of Seller, on the other hand, shall be
settled to Seller's satisfaction in the case of each of (i) and (ii), by way of
capital contribution (with respect to intercompany payables or loans due to any
other division or Affiliate of Seller) or by way of dividend in kind (with
respect to Retained Receivables).

property, equipment, inventory, machinery, fixtures and personal property shall
be acquired by or conveyed to Buyer as is and in their present condition and
state of repair and Buyer represents to Seller that Buyer has made or caused to
be made such inspections with respect to the immovable property, movable
property, equipment, inventory, machinery, fixtures and personal property as
Buyer deems appropriate (including, without limitation, the environmental

intermediary in connection with the Asset Purchase who might be entitled to a
fee or commission from Buyer in connection therewith.
Section 3.17. No Implied Representation. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement, it is the explicit intent of each party hereto that
Seller is making no representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied,

Collateral Documents, Buyer takes the Subject Assets as is and where is. It is
understood that any cost estimates, projections or other predictions contained
or referred to in the Schedules or in the offering materials that have been
provided to Buyer are not and shall not be deemed to be representations or
warranties of Seller.
Section 3.18. Prohibited Transactions. To the Knowledge of Seller, none
of Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, officers or

commercially reasonable plan to investigate and correct any "year 2000 problems"
associated with (i) the operation of the Businesses; and (ii) the products
manufactured and distributed by the Businesses. Seller, however, does not
represent or warrant that this plan will find and correct all "year 2000
problems" which may arise in connection with the operation of the Businesses or
the products manufactured thereby. Each of the computer-based systems of Seller
used in connection with the Businesses, including its information data bases,
accounting systems and data processing systems, as well as all other computer
software or hardware owned or used by Seller in connection with the Businesses
and each of the Subject Assets which are computer based, if properly operated
and maintained, (a) records, stores, processes, calculates, presents and, where

calculations for calendar dates falling on or after (and if applicable, spans of
time including) January 1, 2000, and records, stores, processes, calculates and
presents correctly entered and formatted information or data dependent on or
relating to such dates with the same functionality, data integrity and
performance, as such item records, stores, processes, calculates and presents
calendar dates on or before December 31, 1999, and in such fashion as to respond
to two-digit date input in a way that eliminates all ambiguities as to the
century of concern, and treats the year 2000 as a leap-year and correctly and
accurately records and processes data and information with respect thereto; (b)
loses no functionality with respect to the introduction of records, including
back-up and archived information or data, containing dates falling on or after
January 1, 2000; and (c) is interoperable with other software and hardware that
may deliver records to such computer-based systems of Seller and computer-based
Subject Assets or receive records from such computer-based systems of Seller and
computer-based Subject Assets, or interact with such computer-based systems of
Seller and computer-based Subject Assets, provided that such other software or
hardware complies with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) and is otherwise
functional. Seller has made inquiries of each of its material suppliers used in
connection with the Businesses regarding the Year 2000 readiness of all
computer-based systems, software and hardware supplied to it by such suppliers,
and has not received any notice that such systems, software and hardware will
not be Year 2000 ready.

clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence or any other material
damage, penalty assessment, recoupment of payment or disallowance of cost.
(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.21(b), to the Knowledge of

description or by inventory number certain equipment and fixtures loaned, bailed
or otherwise furnished to or held by the Businesses by or on behalf of the U.S.
Government or any non-U.S. government. Such schedules are maintained in the
files of the respective projects and were accurate and complete and, as of the
Closing Date, would contain only those additions and omit only those deletions
of equipment and fixtures that have occurred in the ordinary course of business,
except for such inaccuracies that could not reasonably be expected to Adversely
Affect the Businesses, any of the Subject Assets, or Seller.
Section 3.23. Absence of Changes. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.23,

to this Section 5.1, any of Buyer's representatives listed on Schedule 10.2
hereof has actual knowledge of any material breach of any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement or any circumstances or conditions that

(b) Any information provided to Buyer or its representatives pursuant
to this Agreement shall be held by Buyer and its representatives in accordance
with, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Confidentiality Agreement dated

Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate automatically without further action
by the parties.
(c) Buyer agrees to (i) maintain the books and records of the

prosecuting litigation and preparation of Income Tax Returns and other tax
filings (in case of (ii) Seller will reimburse Buyer's actual, out-of-pocket
cost). Buyer shall have the same rights, and Seller the same obligations, as are

agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or
advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cooperate with the other in
connection with the foregoing, including commercially reasonable efforts (i) to
obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals from other parties to
material Contracts and Licenses, (ii) to obtain all consents, approvals and
authorizations that are required to be obtained under any Law including without
limitation those under the HSR Act, (iii) to lift or rescind any Order adversely
affecting the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Asset Purchase,

any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates under the HSR Act with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be filed promptly following
the date of this Agreement), and (v) to fulfill all conditions to this Agreement
(it being understood that such efforts shall not include any requirement of
either party to expend material sums of money, divest any assets or businesses,
or grant any material financial or other accommodation). Seller and Buyer shall
furnish to each other such information and assistance as the other may
reasonably request in connection with their preparation of any such required
filings or submissions. Seller and Buyer further covenant and agree, with
respect to a threatened or pending Order or Law that would adversely affect the
ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Asset Purchase, to use their
respective commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry, enactment or
promulgation thereof, as the case may be (it being understood that such efforts
shall not include any requirement of Seller to expend material sums of money,
divest any assets or businesses, or grant any material financial or other
accommodation).

the assignment or novation of Contracts, including the software licenses listed

objections, if any, as the Antitrust Division, the FTC or any other Governmental

or regulation prior to the expiration of any applicable waiting periods under
the HSR Act; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required (i) to divest
assets or businesses; or (ii) to provide any undertakings or comply with any
condition that, in its
29
good faith judgment, would diminish Buyer's rights under this Agreement, or
would materially alter the benefits to Buyer contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) In case at any time after the Closing any further action is
reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Section 5.2,
the proper officers and/or directors of Buyer or Seller, as the case may be,
including, to the extent applicable, any Entity designated to hold the Subject
Assets, shall take all such necessary action.
(e) Either party hereto shall promptly inform the other of any material
communication from the Antitrust Division, the FTC or any other Governmental
Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party
or any Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or

after the date hereof it shall not, and it shall cause each of its Affiliates
not to, without Buyer's prior written consent, employ or solicit for employment

Affiliates) in the Businesses (at that time) and in connection with the
Businesses, unless such Person's employment with Buyer or its Affiliates was
terminated by Buyer or its Affiliates prior to such action by Seller, or any of
its Affiliates; provided nothing herein shall apply to general advertisements or
solicitation not directed at the Employees.
Section 5.10. Notices of Certain Events. Each of Seller and Buyer shall
promptly notify the other of:
(a) any notice or other communication of which either party has
knowledge from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be
required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(b) any Actions commenced, or to the knowledge of either party,
threatened against, relating to, involving or otherwise affecting, the Subject
Assets or the Businesses (including the Transferred Real Estate) which, if
pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been
disclosed pursuant to Articles III, IV or V or which relate to the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
33
(c) any Adverse Change in the business, assets, condition (financial
otherwise), operations of the Businesses or the Subject Assets or of any event
that would materially impair Seller's ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement.
Section 5.11. No Inconsistent Action. The parties hereto shall not take
any action inconsistent with their obligations under this Agreement or which

Section 5.12. Post-Closing Confidentiality. The parties agree that, for
a period of ten (10) years following the Closing Date: (a) Seller will not, and

Businesses or the Subject Assets, and (b) Buyer will not, and will cause its
Affiliates not to, disclose, give, use or otherwise divulge any of Seller's
confidential information not related to the Businesses or the Subject Assets,
including in each case but not limited to any technology, process, trade
secrets, know-how, other intellectual property rights, strategies, financial
statements or other financial information not otherwise publicly available,
forecasts, operations, business plans, prices, discounts, products, product
specifications, designs, plans, data or ideas). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
party may disclose such information (i) if compelled to disclose the same by
judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of applicable Law or
of any national securities exchange (but subject to the following provisions of
this Section), (ii) if the same currently is, or hereafter is, in the public
domain through no fault of such party, (iii) if the same is later acquired by
such party from another source and such party is not aware that such source is
under an obligation to another Person to keep such information confidential, or
(iv) if the same is independently developed by Affiliates of such party without
any knowledge thereof. If such party or any of its Affiliates (the "Disclosing
Party") is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests
for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative
demand or other similar process) to disclose any such information, the
Disclosing Party shall provide the other party with prompt written notice of any
such request or requirement so that the other party may seek, at its expense, a
protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other
remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the other party, the Disclosing Party
nonetheless, based on the advice of counsel, is required to disclose such
information to any tribunal, the Disclosing Party, without liability hereunder,
may disclose that portion of such information which such counsel advises the
Disclosing Party it is legally required to disclose. The parties agree to give
reasonable notice to its employees of the ongoing requirements of this Section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be liable for damages for any
inadvertent disclosure of any confidential or secret information of the other
party where (a) the appropriate degree of care has been exercised and (b) such
inadvertent disclosure does not Adversely Affect such party; provided that upon
notice of such inadvertent disclosure it shall have been endeavored to correct
the effects thereof and to prevent any further inadvertent disclosure.
Section 5.13. Government Contract Novation. As soon as is reasonably
practicable following the Closing, Seller shall, in accordance with FAR Part 42,
Section 42.12, submit in writing to each Responsible Contracting Officer (as
such term is defined in FAR Part 42, Section 42.102(a)),
34
a request for the U.S. Government to (i) recognize Buyer as the successor
interest to all of the Government Contracts being sold, assigned, transferred
and conveyed to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) enter into a
novation agreement (the "Novation Agreement") substantially in the form
contemplated by such regulations. Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose
of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreement with regard
to any of the Government Contracts, including responding to any reasonable
requests for information by the U.S. Government with regard to such Novation
Agreement. Buyer shall provide to Seller and each Responsible Contracting
Officer all information reasonably necessary to obtain the consent of the U.S.
Government to recognize Buyer as the successor in interest to all of the
Government Contracts being sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Buyer in
accordance with this Agreement. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of
processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreement with regard to
any of the Government Contracts including responding to any requests for
information by the U.S. Government with regard to such Novation Agreement.
Section 5.14. Binghamton Facility. (a) Prior to the Closing Date,
Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in maintaining
the operations of the Businesses at the Binghamton Facility by providing access
to the Employees at the Binghamton Facility to allow Buyer to solicit those
Employees to stay in the employ of the Businesses.
(b) Buyer will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain as promptly
as practicable from the owner/landlord of the Binghamton Facility a lease for
the continued occupancy and use of such premises in the Businesses, subject to
Seller's rights under the Access Agreement, attached as Exhibit C hereto. In the
event Buyer has not obtained its own lease concerning the Binghamton Facility on
or before February 1, 2000, then Seller shall have a period of sixty (60) days
commencing February 1, 2000 to conclude a prime lease that would permit
continued use of the Binghamton Facility in the Businesses upon terms generally
consistent with Seller's existing Lease for the Binghamton Facility, in which
case Buyer shall enter into a sublease with Seller for such purpose, subject to
the Access Agreement. In the event Seller is unable to conclude such lease
within such 60-day period, then either party hereto may terminate this Agreement
on notice to the other.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any Collateral
Document, Buyer shall not be obligated to vacate the Binghamton Facility on or
before December 31, 2001, and Buyer shall not lose the benefit of any
indemnification for environmental matters solely by reason of Buyer's remaining
in the Binghamton Facility on or after December 31, 2001.
Section 5.15. Buyer's SEC Financial Reporting. The Seller shall accord
Buyer and its independent auditors full access to the books and records of the
Businesses, to enable Buyer to prepare the following: (i) audited historical
financial statements for the Businesses for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1999, including unaudited quarterly income statements, and (ii) unaudited
historical financial statements for the Businesses for any interim period after
December 31, 1999 but before the Closing Date as required, in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), for purposes of Buyer's preparation of its SEC filings or any other
filings which must or may be undertaken by the Buyer in connection with the
35
consummation of transactions contemplated herein or subsequent financing
transactions related thereto.
Section 5.16. Sharing of Retention Commitments Amounts. Seller will
reimburse Buyer for: (i) 100% of any amounts paid by Buyer to Employees at the
Binghamton Facility, and to other, non-Binghamton Employees of the Businesses
for those retention payments becoming due within 30 days following the Closing;
and (ii) 50% of all other such amounts paid by Buyer to non-Binghamton
Employees, in each case pursuant to Seller's retention agreements and
commitments to Employees, as such payments are made by Buyer; provided, however,
that Seller's obligation relates only to payments under Seller's original
commitments prior to Closing, and not to any subsequent increase of benefits to
the Employee. Seller shall pay interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum from the
date that Buyer provides Seller with an invoice for such amounts if such
invoices are not paid within 15 days.
Section 5.17. Payments. Each party promptly shall deliver to the other
any cash, checks or other instruments of payment to which the other is entitled
and shall hold the same in trust for the other until such delivery.
Section 5.18. Insurance. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in order to
afford Buyer the full benefit of all insurance policies and all rights
thereunder (including rights to causes of action, lawsuits, claims and demands,
rights of recovery and set-off) covering the Businesses and the Subject Assets,
and proceeds under or with respect to such insurance policies, for periods prior
to the Closing to the extent claims thereunder relate to any of the Subject
Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; provided that Buyer shall be responsible for
the increased out-of-pocket costs to Seller of affording such benefits to Buyer,
if any.
Section 5.19. Supply Contracts. In the case of each Contract (including
any intercompany work order or similar support arrangement) in effect on the
Closing Date under which either of the Businesses supplies any products to
Seller or any of its Affiliates, or Seller or any of its Affiliates supplies any
products to either of the Businesses (each such Contract being referred to
hereinafter as a "Supply Contract"), Buyer and Seller shall honor, and cause
their respective Affiliates to honor, all the terms (including, without
limitation, pricing) of such Supply Contract for the current term of such Supply
Contract. The aforesaid obligation shall also apply to the terms set forth in
any written and mutually agreed proposal for the supply of products by or to the
Businesses pending on the Closing Date, in the event that Seller or any of
Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other
hand, enter into a Supply Contract relating to such proposal after the Closing.
In the case of any new Supply Contract with respect to the Businesses entered
into by Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of
its Affiliates on the other hand, after the Closing (and for which a written
proposal is not pending on the Closing Date), Buyer and Seller agree that the
terms thereof shall be the best commercial terms (including, without limitation,
pricing) available to similarly situated buyers under similar, market-based
facts and circumstances.
Section 5.20. Research and Experimental Expenses. Seller will use
reasonably efforts to furnish to the Buyer as reasonably practicable, but in no
event more than 180 days after Closing, a letter, on Seller's letterhead,
setting forth all information reasonably requested relating to the base period
research expenses and any other information to allow Buyer to claim research and
36
experimental credits in accordance with the relevant sections of the Code and
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If all of the requested or required
information is not in Seller's possession, then Seller will use its reasonable
efforts to obtain the same.
Section 5.21. W-2 Issues. Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree
promptly after the Closing to address W-2 issues; e.g., successor method or
alternative method.
Article VI.
Employees and Employee Benefit Plans
Section 6.1. Employment of Employees of the Business. Buyer shall offer
employment, effective as of the Closing Date, to each of the Employees listed on
Schedule 6.1 attached hereto and who is employed by Seller (and who is not on
long-term disability, and if on short-term disability only upon a return to
work), on the Closing Date, and at wages substantially comparable to his or her
then current wage or salary level; provided, however, that each such Employee
consents to the transfer of his or her personnel records to Buyer. Those
Employees who accept such offers of employment and become employees of Buyer
shall be referred to herein as the "Transferred Employees." Buyer and Seller
shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize all costs of
severance pay and benefits, if any, to which an Employee is entitled that are
incurred with respect to any such Employee who fails to become a Transferred
Employee, including any refusal of such Employee to accept an offer of
employment or otherwise, and Buyer and Seller shall bear equally all such costs
of severance pay and benefits.
Section 6.2. Certain Benefit Plan Matters.
(a) Following the Closing Date and through December 31, 2000, Buyer
shall provide Transferred Employees with defined benefit, defined contribution,
life insurance, medical coverage and other employee welfare benefit plans
(within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA), on a basis substantially
comparable in the aggregate to those provided Transferred Employees on the date
hereof; provided however, that Buyer shall not be required to provide any of the
Transferred Employees with any stock-based plans relating to equity securities
(or their equivalent, such as phantom stock plans or SARs) or incentive plans
based on the achievement of financial targets. Nothing herein shall preclude
Seller from continuing to administer stock-based and incentive plans for service
with Seller through the Closing Date.
(b) For purposes of vesting and any period of service requirements or
commencement of participation with respect to any employee benefit plan of
Buyer, each Transferred Employee shall receive credit of his or her term of
service with Seller.
Section 6.3. Access to Books and Records. As soon as practicable after
the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive from Seller (a) such information
concerning each Transferred Employee's period of employment with Seller as Buyer
may reasonably require to determine service for eligibility, vesting and benefit
accrual purposes and (b) such information concerning the terms of Seller's
Employee Benefit Plans and concerning each Transferred Employee's benefit
utilization under welfare benefit plans as Buyer may reasonably require to
comply with Section 6.2 of this Agreement.
37
Section 6.4. Defined Benefit Plan.
(a) Buyer shall, effective as of the Closing Date, establish or cause
to be established a defined benefit pension plan (the "Buyer Pension Plan") for
the benefit of the Transferred Employees who as of the closing Date are covered
by a Seller defined benefit pension plan (each a "Seller Pension Plan" and
collectively, the "Seller Pension Plans") (the "Covered Employees"; the names of
all Covered Employees shall be set forth on a schedule to be furnished by Buyer
to Seller within 30 days after the Closing Date).
(b) The Buyer Pension Plan shall provide benefits for each Covered
Employee as follows:
As of the Closing Date, Seller shall fully vest each such Covered
Employee in his or her accrued benefit under the applicable Seller Pension Plan,
with respect to employment prior to the Closing Date, and subject to the
provisions of Section 6.4(c) and (d) hereof, the Buyer Pension Plan shall, in
the aggregate, provide benefit levels reasonably comparable to the applicable
Seller Pension Plan. The Buyer Pension Plan shall recognize for all purposes
under such Plan, including eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual, all service
and compensation recognized by the Seller Pension Plan on the Closing Date with
respect to Transferred Employees, provided, that Seller shall have supplied
Buyer with such information within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed
six (6) months, after the Closing Date; and with respect to those Covered
Employees who were participants in the contributory portion of the Seller's
Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan as of the Closing Date, the benefit formula,
employee contribution, early retirement subsidy and cost of living adjustment
provisions therein will be continued under Buyer's Pension Plan through December
31, 2002.
(c) Transfers of assets and liabilities from a Seller Pension Plan to
Buyer Pension Plan shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.4(c). Within 120 days of the Closing Date ("Initial Transfer Date"),
Seller shall cause its appropriate pension trusts to make an initial transfer of
assets in cash, equal to 85% of the amount estimated by Seller in good faith to
be equal to the Final Transfer Amount (as defined below) with respect to each
Seller Pension Plan (using the same assumptions and methodologies consistent
with Section 6.4(d) ("Initial Transfer Amount")). In addition, prior to the
Initial Transfer Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer that the appropriate Seller Pension Plans remain qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code. As soon as practicable after the final
determination of the amounts to be transferred ("True-Up Date"), Seller shall
cause a second transfer to be made in cash of the True-Up Amount. The "True-Up
Amount" shall be equal to the Final Transfer Amount minus Initial Transfer
Amount, reduced by benefit payments after the Closing Date and then, adjusting
for Earnings attributable to the assets transferred, where the Final Transfer
Amount is calculated in accordance with Section 6.4(d). Earnings applied to the
Final Transfer Amount shall be calculated on the basis of the earnings of all
assets in Seller's trust for the period after the Closing Date through the date
of the Final Transfer Amount, as offset by the Initial Transfer Amount, and with
earnings of all assets in Seller's trust pro rated for the time period from the
date of the Initial Transfer to the Final Transfer Date. If the Initial Transfer
Amount exceeds the Final Transfer Amount with respect to any plan, as soon as
practicable following such determination by Seller and after notice by Seller to
Buyer, Buyer shall cause a transfer to be made to the respective Seller Pension
Plan equal to the excess of the Initial Transfer Amount over the Final Transfer
Amount, adjusted to reflect a pro rata portion of Earnings in Buyer's trust from
the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs. The True-Up
38
Amount shall be transferred in cash. Unless the parties agree otherwise, all
transfers will occur on the last business day of a month. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the transfers contemplated by this
Section 6.4(c) shall be determined in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code
and Treasury Regulation 1.414(l)-1.
(d) The Final Transfer Amount ("Final Transfer Amount") is the
Actuarial Accrued Liability for the Transferred Employees, as determined under
CAS412, as of the Closing Date but in no event will the amount transferred be
less than the amount required to satisfy Section 414(1) of the Code. If the
Actuarial Accrued Liability of all participants in the respective plan is equal
to or more than the fair market value of the assets in that plan, then Seller
shall instead cause its actuary to determine the Final Transfer Amount as equal
to the amount of assets allocable to the liabilities of Covered Employees
participating in that plan based on Section 4044 of ERISA ("Section 4044
Amount"). The Actuarial Accrued Liability shall be determined using the interest
and mortality rate assumption described in the next sentence and for all other
demographics (e.g., retirement, turnover, disability) those actuarial
assumptions and methods used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
Seller Pension Plan, as specified in Schedule 6.4. The interest rate assumption
shall be the rates promulgated by the PBGC for the valuation of plans that
terminate in the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the "Interest Rate");
and the mortality rates shall be those specified in the 1983 Group Annuity
Mortality Table (without margins). For purposes of these calculations all
employees are 100% vested and any termination benefits shall be assumed to be
payable in accordance with the rates referred to above.
(e) While the transfer of the Transferred Assets is pending, Seller
agrees to cause the trustee of the Seller Pension Plans to continue to pay
current benefits to Covered Employees as they become due.
(f) Buyer shall have the right to appoint an independent actuary
("Buyer's Actuary") for the purpose of verifying whether the calculation of the
Actuarial Accrued Liability by Seller's Actuary under Section 6.4(c) and of the
amount of Transferred Assets is correct (based on the method and assumptions set
forth in Section 6.4(d)). Such amount as certified by Seller's Actuary shall be
final, conclusive and binding on Seller and Buyer unless, within 30 days after
the delivery of such certification by Seller's Actuary to Buyer's Actuary,
together with such supporting information as Buyer's Actuary may reasonably
request, Buyer's Actuary shall notify Seller's Actuary of its disagreement with
such amount. If any such disagreement is not resolved to the satisfaction of
Seller and Buyer within 60 days of Seller's receipt of such notification (or
within such longer period as Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree), either
Seller or Buyer may elect to have the calculation submitted for resolution to a
third independent actuary appointed mutually by Seller and Buyer, whose
determination shall be made in 30 days and shall be conclusive, final and
binding. The expenses of Buyer's Actuary shall be borne by Buyer; the expenses
of Seller's Actuary shall be borne by Seller; and the expenses of any third
actuary shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.
(g) Buyer agrees that upon the initial transfer of the Transferred
Assets from the Seller Pension Plan to the Buyer Pension Plan, the Buyer Pension
Plan shall assume all liability of the Seller Pension Plan for the accrued
benefits of Covered Employees, and that such transfer shall be in full discharge
of all obligations of the Seller Pension Plan for such benefits with respect to
such Covered Employees. Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer Pension Plan and
Buyer, their trustees and
39
other fiduciaries and affiliates and each of their shareholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents and attorneys and save each such person harmless
against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including
any and all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against litigation commenced or threatened or in settlement of any
such claim), relating to or incurred in defending against (i) a claim that any
of the transactions contemplated by Section 6.4 of this Agreement are not in
accordance with the terms of the Seller Pension Plan or applicable law, (ii) any
error in the data concerning any Covered Employee disclosed by Seller to Buyer
pursuant to this Section 6.4, or (iii) any inaccuracy in the certification
furnished pursuant to Section 6.4(c). Buyer agrees to indemnify the Seller
Pension Plan and Seller, their trustees and other fiduciaries and affiliates and
each of their officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys and save each
such person harmless against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and
expenses (including any and all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,

settlement of any such claim) relating to or incurred in defending against any
claim arising out of the failure of the Buyer Pension Plan to pay as
contemplated by this Section 6.4.
Section 6.5 Retiree Medical Benefits. Buyer shall provide retiree
medical coverage for those Transferred Employees who, as of the Closing Date,
were covered by an Employee Benefit Plan of Seller providing for such benefits.
With respect to (x) those Transferred Employees who, as of the Closing Date,
were participants in the contributory portion of the Raytheon Non-Bargaining
Retirement Plan, and (y) those Transferred Employees who were given company-paid
retiree medical benefits by contract, including but not limited to former
employees of MESC Holdings, Inc., The Xxxxxx-Xxxxx Corporation and Honeywell,
Inc. (and their respective qualified dependents), all as required by Section
(8)(d)(iv) of the Employee Matters Agreements in the Raytheon Xxxxxx merger.
Buyer will provide company-paid retiree medical benefits substantially
comparable in value to such benefits as of the Closing Date for a period at
least from the Closing Date through December 31, 2002, and thereafter will
continue such company-paid retiree medical benefits that are substantially
comparable to and for as long as retiree medical benefits are provided generally

medical benefits to the Transferred Employees, all of such liability, if any,
having been assumed by Buyer.
Section 6.6 WARN Act. The Buyer agrees that, for a period of 60 days
after the Closing Date, it will not cause any of the Transferred Employees to
suffer "employment loss" for purposes of the WARN Act, and related regulations

unless the Buyer delivers notices under the WARN Act in such a manner and at
such a time that Seller bears no liability with respect thereto.
Section 6.7 Represented Employees. On and after the Closing Date, the
Buyer shall provide benefits to Transferred Employees in units represented for
collective bargaining, works council or other collective representation purposes

successor employer either through Seller's collective bargaining agreements or
by operation of applicable law. Any changes in the benefits for Transferred

40
with the recognized collective bargaining, works council or other applicable
representative, as and to the extent required by the NLRA and any other
applicable labor law.

in taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date.
(b) Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay all Taxes with respect
to taxable periods (or portions thereof) commencing on the first day after the

recording, documentary, conveyancing, franchise, property, transfer, gains and
similar Taxes, levies, charges and fees including any deficiencies, interest,
penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts excluding any Income Taxes
(collectively, "Transfer Taxes") incurred in connection with the Asset Purchase
(including Transfer Taxes incurred by transactions pursuant to transfers under
the Intellectual Property Agreement or other Collateral Documents) shall be
borne by Seller. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the
amount of all Transfer Taxes and shall cooperate in providing each other with
any appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation.
The party that is required by applicable law to make the filings, reports, or
returns and to handle any audits or controversies with respect to any applicable
Transfer Taxes shall do so, and the other party shall cooperate with respect
thereto as necessary.
(b) All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad
valorem obligations levied with respect to the Subject Assets for a taxable
period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the
"Apportioned Obligations") shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based
on the number of days of such taxable period which fall on or before the Closing
Date (this and any other tax period which includes one or more days falling on
or before the Closing Date, a "Pre-Closing Tax Period") and the number of days
of such taxable period after the Closing Date (a "Post-Closing Tax Period").
Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that

proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax
Period. Upon receipt of any xxxx for real or personal property taxes relating to
the Subject Assets, each of Seller and Buyer shall present a
41
statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each
is entitled under this Section together with such supporting evidence as is
reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount
shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within 30 days after delivery
of such statement. In the event that either Seller or Buyer shall make any
payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section, the other
party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10)

reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such
supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of
reimbursement.
Section 7.3. Allowable Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section,
"Allowable Tax" shall mean the allocable share of any Tax of Seller or any of
its Affiliates which is an allowable cost under FAR and associated regulations
and agreements between Seller and any U.S. governmental entity, allocated based
on the Seller's existing finance policy (as it is in effect on the date hereof).
(b) If Seller has paid (or reimbursed Buyer for) any Allowable Tax
which is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer agrees to repay to
Seller promptly upon receipt any portion of such Allowable Tax that Buyer or any
of its Affiliates is ultimately able to recover from the United States
government.
(c) If Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives a refund with respect to
an Allowable Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer shall
pay to Seller the amount of such refund reduced by the amount, if any, that
Buyer will be required to pay to the United States government or suffer by
reason of offset in accordance with FAR and associated regulations and
agreements between Seller and any U.S. governmental entity. If Seller receives a
refund after the Closing Date with respect to an Allowable Tax that is
attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller will pay to Buyer the amount,
if any, which Buyer will be required to pay to the U.S. government, or suffers
by reason of an offset, in accordance with the foregoing regulations.
(d) Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with respect to the calculation
of any amounts payable pursuant to this Section and to give each other written
notice of events reasonably likely to result in the increase or decrease of any
Allowable Tax attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
Section 7.4. Cooperation. Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to
be furnished to each other, (with the requesting party reimbursing the
furnishing party for the actual out-of-pocket cost of the furnishing party),
upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance
relating to the Subject Assets (including, without limitation, access to books
and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the
making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any
taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or
proceeding relating to any Tax. Buyer and Seller shall retain, consistent with
past practice, all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the
Subject Assets for a period of at least six (6) years following the Closing
Date. At the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at
least sixty (60) days prior written notice before destroying any such books and
records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take
possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. Seller and Buyer
shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding
relating to Taxes involving the Subject Assets. If either party becomes aware of
42
any pending or threatened assessment, official inquiry, examination or
proceeding that could result in an official determination with respect to Taxes
due or payable the responsibility for which rests with the other party hereto,
such party shall promptly so notify the other party in writing.

contained or made in this Agreement or any Collateral Document shall survive for
a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing; provided that the

the contrary, any representation or warranty which is the subject of a claim
which is asserted in writing prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period
shall survive with respect to such claim or any dispute with respect thereto
until the final resolution thereof. All covenants and agreements contained or
made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Collateral Document shall
survive the Closing.
Section 10.2. Indemnification by Seller. (a) From and after the Closing
Date, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, each of

damages, claims, losses, expenses, costs, taxes, interest, penalties, fines,
obligations and liabilities, including without limitation liabilities for all
reasonable attorneys', accountants', and experts' fees and expenses including
those incurred to enforce the terms of this Agreement (collectively, "Covered
Liabilities"), suffered, directly or indirectly, by, or asserted against, any of
the Buyer Indemnified Parties by reason of, in connection with, relating to or
arising out of (i) any of the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities,
including any Retained Liability based on negligence, gross negligence, strict
liability or any other theory of liability, whether in law (whether common or
statutory) or equity, (ii) any breach by Seller of, or any inaccuracy in, any
representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any
Collateral Document, or (iii) any breach or non-performance by Seller of any
covenant or obligation to be performed by it which is contained in this
Agreement, any Collateral Agreement, or in any agreement, certificate or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto; provided, however, that in no
event shall Seller be required to pay or otherwise be liable for any Covered
Liabilities with respect to claims made under or relating to Section 10.2(a)(ii)
hereof (other than a breach of representation contained in Section 3.5(a)
hereof) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such costs and expenses
hereunder exceeds 1.5% of the Purchase Price, in which case Seller shall be
liable for all such amounts in excess of 1.5% thereof up to a maximum of 15% of
the Purchase Price.
(b) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event one of Buyer's representatives listed on Schedule 10.2 hereof has actual
knowledge on or prior to the Closing Date (i) of any non-material breach,
incompleteness or inaccuracy of, or non-material error in, any representation
and warranty of Seller, which Seller could have cured had Buyer notified Seller
as required by Section 5.2 hereof, or (ii) of any material breach,
incompleteness or inaccuracy of, or material error in, any representations or
warranty of Seller, then, in either such event, Buyer shall be
46
deemed to have waived any right thereafter to assert any claim for
indemnification or otherwise with respect to any such material breach,
incompleteness or inaccuracy or material error so known.
Section 10.3. Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing
Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, each of
their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of the
heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively,
the "Seller Indemnified Parties") from and against, any and all Covered
Liabilities suffered, directly or indirectly, by or asserted against any of the
Seller Indemnified Parties by reason of, in connection with, relating to or
arising out of (i) any Assumed Liability including any Assumed Liability based
on negligence, gross negligence, strict liability or any other theory of
liability, whether in law (whether common or statutory) or equity, (ii) any
breach by Buyer of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of
Buyer contained herein or in any Collateral Document, or (iii) any breach or
non-performance by Buyer of any covenant or obligation to be performed by it
which is contained in this Agreement, any Collateral Documents or in any
agreement, certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto;

amount of all such costs and expenses hereunder exceeds 1.5% of the Purchase
Price, in which case Buyer shall be liable for all such amounts in excess of
1.5% thereof up to a maximum of 15% of the Purchase Price.
Section 10.4. Indemnification Procedures. (a) If any indemnified party
receives notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim with respect to which
an indemnifying party is obligated under this Agreement to provide
indemnification, such indemnified party shall give such indemnifying party
written notice thereof (together with a copy of such Third Party Claim, process
or other legal pleading) promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party
Claim; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give
notice as provided in this Section 10.4 shall not relieve any indemnifying party
of its obligations under this Section 10.4, except to the extent that such
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice.
Such notice shall describe such Third Party Claim in reasonable detail.
(b) An indemnifying party, at such indemnifying party's own expense and
through counsel chosen by such indemnifying party (which counsel shall be
reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party), may elect to defend any Third
Party Claim. If an indemnifying party elects to defend a Third Party Claim,
then, within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of such Third Party
Claim (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), such
indemnifying party shall notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so,
and such indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of such
Third Party Claim (and pending such notice and assumption of defense, an
indemnified party may take such steps to defend against such Third Party Claim
as, in such indemnified party's good-faith judgment, are appropriate to protect
its interests). Such indemnifying party shall pay such indemnified party's
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation
and defense. Such indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party reasonably
informed as to the status of the defense of such Third Party Claim. After notice
from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of a Third Party Claim, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 10.4
47
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof other than those expenses referred to in
the preceding sentence; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall
have the right to employ one law firm as counsel, together with a separate local
law firm in each applicable jurisdiction ("Separate Counsel"), to represent such
indemnified party in any action or group of related actions (which firm or firms
shall be reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party) if, in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment at any time, either a conflict of
interest between such indemnified party and such indemnifying party exists in
respect of such claim, or there may be defenses available to such indemnified
party which are different from or in addition to those available to such
indemnifying party and the representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate, and in that event (i) the reasonable fees and expenses
of such Separate Counsel and local counsel shall be paid by such indemnifying
party (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one Separate Counsel (and local counsel)
with respect to any Third Party Claim (even if against multiple indemnified
parties)), and (ii) each of such indemnifying party and such indemnified party
shall have the right to conduct its own defense in respect of such claim. If an
indemnifying party elects not to defend against a Third Party Claim, or fails to
notify an indemnified party of its election as provided in this Section 10.4
within the period of ten (10) business days described above, the indemnified
party may defend, compromise, and settle such Third Party Claim and shall be
entitled to indemnification hereunder (to the extent permitted hereunder).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise any Third
Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which (i) does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by each claimant or plaintiff to
the indemnified party of a written release of the indemnified party from all
liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) provides for injunctive or
other non-monetary relief affecting the indemnified party or the Businesses,
(iii) provides for an amount in excess of the maximum liability of the
indemnifying party set forth in the proviso to Section 10.2 or 10.3, or (iv)
settles or compromises any Third Party Claim in any manner that would reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party.
(c) The indemnifying party, following receipt of any notice from the
indemnified party requesting reimbursement or payment for a Covered Liability
(which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the
Covered Liability), shall promptly and in case within 30 days of receipt of such
notice provide such reimbursement or payment.
(d) Environmental Actions. If the Seller or Seller's agent elects or is
required to perform any environmental investigation or remediation activities at
the Binghamton Facility after the Closing Date, such activities shall be
conducted pursuant to the terms of the Access Agreement set forth in Exhibit C.
Section 10.5. Certain Limitations. (a) The amount of any Covered
Liabilities for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be
net of any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party from third
parties (including amounts actually recovered under insurance policies) with
respect to such Covered Liabilities. Any netting of insurance proceeds may be
satisfied by the indemnified party assigning any potential insurance claims to
the indemnifying party and, in any event, the potential availability of
insurance proceeds shall not permit delay by the
48
indemnifying party in the performance of its duties under this Article X. Any
indemnifying party hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the
indemnified party as against any relevant insurer upon payment in full of the
amount of the relevant indemnifiable loss. If any indemnified party recovers an
amount from a third party in respect of an indemnifiable loss for which
indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such
indemnifiable loss has been paid by an indemnifying party or after an
indemnifying party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable loss and the
amount received from the third party exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of
such indemnifiable loss, then the indemnified party shall promptly remit to the
indemnifying party the excess of (i) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by
such indemnifying party in respect of such indemnifiable loss plus the amount
received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of
such Covered Liabilities.
(b) The amount of any other liability for which indemnification is
provided under this Agreement shall be treated by Buyer and Seller as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price, and Seller and Buyer agree not to take any
position inconsistent therewith for any purpose.
(c) No remedy under this Agreement or at law or in equity shall
include, provide for or permit the payment of multiple, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages or any equitable equivalent thereof or substitute therefor
("Special Damages"); provided, however, that Special Damages shall be
indemnifiable to the extent owed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, to a
third party.
Section 10.6. Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article, absent fraud, intentional misrepresentations or misconduct, or criminal
activity, the indemnification provided in this Article shall be the sole and
exclusive post-Closing remedy available to the Parties hereto for any claim
under this Agreement (other than equitable relief if available).
Section 10.7. Set-Off. If an indemnifying party shall be obligated to
indemnify an indemnified party pursuant to this Article X, such indemnified
party shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have,
to exercise rights of set-off against any amounts then due and payable to such
indemnifying party hereunder or that may thereafter become due and payable to
the indemnifying party hereunder.
Article XI.

Section 11.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time
prior to the Closing by:

(b) Either Seller or Buyer if the Closing has not occurred by the close
of business on April 5, 2000, and if the failure to consummate the Asset
Purchase on or before such date did not result from the failure by the party
seeking termination of this Agreement to fulfill any undertaking or commitment
provided for herein that is required to be fulfilled prior to Closing; or
49
(c) Seller, provided it is not then in breach of any of its obligations
hereunder, if Buyer fails to perform in any material respect any covenant or

have breached in any material respect any of the representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement and does not cure the failure or breach within
thirty (30) business days after Seller delivers written notice thereof; or
(d) Buyer, provided it is not then in breach of any of its obligations
hereunder, if Seller fails to perform in any material respect any covenant or
obligation under this Agreement when performance thereof is due or Seller shall
have breached in any material respect any of the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement and does not cure the failure or breach within
thirty (30) business days after Buyer delivers written notice thereof.
Section 11.2. Procedure and Effect of Termination. In the event of
termination of this Agreement by either or both of Seller and Buyer pursuant to
Section 11.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the terminating
party to the other party hereto, and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate
and become void and have no effect, and the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be abandoned without further action by the parties hereto, except that the
provisions of Sections 5.l(b) and Articles X and XII shall survive the
termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that such termination shall
not relieve any party hereto of any liability for any breach of this Agreement.
If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, all filings, applications
and other submissions made pursuant to Section 4.3 shall, to the extent
practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other persons to which they were
made.

shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware without reference to the choice of law principles thereof. Buyer and
Seller consent to and hereby submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal
court located in the State of Delaware in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each of the parties
hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection

Section C-1. Dispute Resolution. Subject to Sections C-2, through C-3,
in the event any controversy, claim, dispute, difference, or misunderstanding (a
"dispute") arises under Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Agreement, and the Parties
have been unable to negotiate in good faith to amicably resolve such dispute in
writing (i) within 120 days following the Closing Date in the case of an
allocation under Section 2.4, or (ii) during the Resolution Period provided for
in Section 2.5, then, in either case, each Party will, within five (5) Business
Days after the expiration of such period, prepare a written position statement
that summarizes the unresolved issues and such Party's proposed resolution. Such

dispute.
56
APPENDIX II
NET WORKING CAPITAL CALCULATIONS
Buyer and Seller shall observe and apply the following procedures and principles
in the determination of Net Working Capital as that term applies in the
Agreement:
The difference, if any, between the Target Net Working Capital and the
Preliminary Net Working Capital Calculation will be the basis for any payment to
be made by Buyer or Seller as provided in Section 2.5(a).
The Preliminary Net Working Capital Calculation, the Closing Date Net Working
Capital Calculation and the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital Calculation
will be made in the same manner as that utilized in the calculation of Target
Net Working Capital, except as modified hereby. The foregoing calculations shall
be at the close of business on the Closing Date determined on a pro forma basis
as if Seller and Buyer had not consummated the transactions contemplated by the
Agreements .
As defined in the Agreement, Closing Date Net Working Capital and Final Closing
Date Net Working Capital shall be more specifically determined by excluding the
Excluded Assets and the following items from its scope: a) cash and cash
equivalents, b) all fixed assets and related amortization and depreciation
including but not limited to land and land improvements, buildings and related
improvements, leasehold improvements, automotive, machinery and equipment,
furniture and fixtures, construction in process, and equipment leased to others,
c) all long term assets including but not limited to investments, patents,
licenses and trademarks and their related amortization, goodwill and related
amortization and deferred charges, d) all current and long term accrued expense
other than those items specifically identified in items accounts payable,
accrued payroll and related payroll taxes and accrued vacation, e) all loss and
operating reserves including warranty reserves, f) all accounts or notes payable
from or to Raytheon except for receivables and payables relating to materials
sold or services rendered, g) any reserve, liability or asset resulting from
pension benefits, retirement benefits or other post employment benefits, h) all
accrued liabilities or benefits for current or deferred federal or state income
taxes, and i) all equity related accounts including but not limited to common
stock, additional paid in capital and retained earnings.
It is further understood that the Seller shall apply the following procedures
during the preparation of the Preliminary Net Working Capital Calculation, the
Closing Date Net Working Capital Calculation and the Final Closing Date Net
Working Capital Calculation.
(i) Costs incurred on all Contracts in a loss position by the
Businesses between fiscal month ended October 1999 and the Closing Date are to
be recorded against loss reserves to the extent such loss reserves exist
according to the "Loss Ratios" (as defined below), such that the portion of the
costs incurred, determined by multiplying the costs incurred by the Loss Ratios
is not recorded to Unbilled Accounts Receivable. "Contract EAC Profit (Loss)
Rates" are calculated on an individual Contract (job number) basis by dividing
the baseline estimate at completion (EAC) profit
57
(loss) by the baseline sell price or EAC contract value. The Contract EAC Profit
(Loss) Rates are based on the rates utilized in the calculation of Target
Working Capital. "Loss Ratios" are calculated from the Contract EAC Profit
(Loss) Rates on an individual Contract basis by dividing the baseline total EAC
loss divided by the baseline total EAC cost. Loss Ratios only apply to Contracts
that are in a loss position.
(ii) The Contract EAC Profit (Loss) Rates for the Businesses used to
prepare the calculation of Target Net Working Capital shall be the same rates
used to prepare the Preliminary Net Working Capital Calculation, Closing Date
Net Working Capital Calculation and Final Closing Date Net Working Capital
Calculation, even if facts and circumstances occurring on or before the Closing
Date would require changes to the Contract EAC Profit (Loss) Rates.
The overhead rates for the Business used to prepare the calculation of
Target Net Working Capital shall be used to prepare the Preliminary Net Working
Capital Calculation, Closing Date Net Working Capital Calculation and Final
Closing Date Net Working Capital Calculation, even if facts and circumstances
occurring on or before the Closing Date would require changes to the overhead
rates.
(iii) There shall be no increases to (A) the Contract EAC Profit (Loss)
Rates, (B) incurred costs for each Contract, or (C) Closing Date Net Working
Capital or Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, arising from an increase in
Consolidated Corporate Allocations for the Fiscal Years 1999 through 2003 from
Raytheon to the Businesses.
(iv) The following valuation reserves and doubtful account reserves are
specifically agreed to and valued in the calculation of Target Net Working
Capital, the Preliminary Net Working Capital Calculation, Closing Date Net
Working Capital Calculation and Final Net Working Capital Calculation.
With respect to the Training Services Business, Preliminary Net Working
Capital, Closing Date Net Working Capital Calculations and Final Closing Date
Net Working Capital will reflect the following adjustments:
(a) Billed Accounts Receivable. The allowance for
doubtful accounts reserve will be increased by
$1,500,000 pertaining to amounts past due greater
than 180 days.
(b) Unbilled Accounts Receivable. $3,500,000 of
unabsorbed overhead will be written off.
(c) Inventory. A reserve for unrecoverable inventoried
costs in the amount of $4,000,000 will be established
pertaining to Contracts (job numbers) which are
inactive and/or closed-out.
With respect to the Training Devices Business, Preliminary Net Working
Capital, Closing Date Net Working Capital and Final Closing Date Net Working
Capital Calculations will reflect the following adjustments:
58
(a) Billed Accounts Receivables. An additional reserve of
$1,500,000 for past due accounts will be established
and added to the current $1,000,000 allowance for
doubtful accounts.
(b) Unbilled Accounts Receivables. A reserve of
$4,960,000 will be established for (A) $2,160,000 for
unrecoverable amounts pertaining to final overhead
rates that have not been settled with the Government
for years 1991 through 1999, and (B) $2,800,000 for
CAS settlement related to the Binghamton restructure.

ARTICLE 4
THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1 Anything in this IP Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this
IP Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, or any
claim, contractual obligation or authorization of a Governmental Authority,
lease, commitment, sales, service or purchase order, or any claim, right or
benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if this IP Agreement would be
deemed an attempted assignment thereof without the required consent, approval or
novation of a third party thereto and would constitute a breach thereof, or in
any way Adversely Affect the rights of Seller or Buyer thereunder. Buyer
acknowledges that the ability of the parties to obtain the consents contemplated
hereunder may be affected by a change in the dynamics of the relevant market
resulting from the IP Agreement or the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such consent, approval or novation is not
obtained, or if the consummation of this IP Agreement would Adversely Affect the
rights of Seller thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive the benefit
of all such rights, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any arrangement
designed to provide for the benefits thereof to Buyer, including
73
without limitation subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer or
enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a
third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third

manner as is appropriate to reduce, so far as may be reasonable under the
circumstances, any disturbance to L-3's operations at the Facility.
Nevertheless, L-3 acknowledges and agrees that in Raytheon's exercise of its
environmental access rights, L-3's possession and operations may be disturbed
from time to time.
Section 6. In developing and implementing plans for environmental
investigations or environmental remediation activities, Raytheon shall keep both
