employment with Teledyne Technologies or a Teledyne Technologies Entity
(including Benefit Liabilities under ATI Plans and Teledyne Technologies Plans);
(iii) all Benefit Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any
other actual or alleged employment relationship with Teledyne Technologies or a
Teledyne Technologies Entity; (iv) all Benefit Liabilities relating to, arising
out of or resulting from the imposition of withdrawal liability under Subtitle E
of Title IV of ERISA as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal of any ATI
Entity from a "multiemployer plan" within the meaning of ERISA Section 4021
which occurs solely as a result of the Separation or the Distribution; and (v)
all other Benefit Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from
obligations, liabilities and responsibilities expressly assumed or retained by

2.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES PLANS. Effective prior
to the Distribution Date, Teledyne Technologies shall adopt, or cause to be
adopted, the Teledyne
6
10
Technologies Pension Plan and its related trust, the amended Teledyne 401(k)
Plan for the period between the Distribution Date and April 1, 2000, the
Teledyne Technologies Stock Purchase Plan, the Teledyne Technologies Health and
Welfare Plans, and the Teledyne Technologies Executive Benefit Plans for the
benefit of the Teledyne Technologies Individuals and other current and future
employees of Teledyne Technologies and the Teledyne Technologies Entities;
provided, however, that Teledyne Technologies may, in its sole discretion, elect
not to adopt or establish the Plan or Plans listed in Schedule 2.2(a). Subject
to the provisions of Section 4.1 regarding the Teledyne Technologies 401(k)
Plan, or as otherwise may be set forth in Schedule 2.2(b), the foregoing
Teledyne Technologies Plans shall be substantially identical in all Material
Features to the corresponding ATI Plans as in effect as of the Close of the

the Teledyne Technologies Non-Employee Director Plans, for the benefit of

Technologies shall adopt the Teledyne Technologies 401(k) Plan and its related

2.3 TERMS OF PARTICIPATION BY TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INDIVIDUALS IN
TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES PLANS. The Teledyne Technologies Plans shall be, with
respect to Teledyne Technologies Individuals, in all respects the successors in
interest to, and shall not provide benefits that duplicate benefits provided by,
the corresponding ATI Plans. ATI and Teledyne Technologies shall agree on
methods and procedures, including amending the respective Plan documents and/or
requesting approvals or consents of Teledyne Technologies Individuals where the
parties deem appropriate, to prevent Teledyne Technologies Individuals from
receiving duplicative benefits from the ATI Plans and the Teledyne Technologies
Plans. With respect to Teledyne Technologies Individuals, each Teledyne
Technologies Plan shall provide that all service, all compensation and all other
benefit-affecting determinations that, as of the Close of the Distribution Date,
were recognized under the corresponding ATI Plan shall, as of Immediately After
the Distribution Date, receive full recognition, credit, and validity and be
taken into account under such Teledyne Technologies Plan to the same extent as
if such items occurred under such Teledyne Technologies Plan, except to the
extent that duplication of benefits would result. The provisions of this
Agreement for the transfer of assets from certain trusts relating to ATI Plans
(including Foreign Plans) to the corresponding trusts relating to Teledyne
Technologies Plans (including Foreign Plans) are based upon the understanding of
the parties that each such Teledyne Technologies Plan will assume all Benefit
Liabilities of the corresponding ATI Plan to or relating to Teledyne
Technologies Individuals, as provided for herein. If any such Benefit
Liabilities are not effectively assumed by the appropriate Teledyne Technologies
Plan, then the amount of assets transferred to the trust relating to such
Teledyne Technologies Plan from the trust relating to the corresponding ATI Plan
shall be recomputed as set forth below, but taking into account the retention of
such Benefit Liabilities by such ATI Plan, and assets shall be transferred by
the trust relating to such Teledyne Technologies Plan to the trust relating to
such ATI Plan so as to place each such trust in the position it would have been
in, had the initial asset transfer been made in accordance with such recomputed
amount of assets.

Distribution Date, reduced by the amount of any benefit payments due and made to
or on behalf of any of the Teledyne Technologies Individuals from the ATI Master
Pension Trust during such period and not taken into account in determining the
Section 414(l) Amount. As of the date of such transfer of assets, Teledyne

Benefit Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from such ongoing
treatments as of the Close of the Distribution Date.
5.2 VENDOR CONTRACTS.
(a) THIRD-PARTY ASO CONTRACTS.
(i) ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to amend
each administrative services only contract with a third-party administrator that
relates to any of the ATI Health and Welfare Plans (an "ASO Contract") in
existence as of the date of this Agreement to permit Teledyne Technologies to
participate in the terms and conditions of such ASO Contract from Immediately
After the Distribution Date until December 31, 2000. ATI shall use its
Reasonable Efforts to cause all ASO Contracts into which ATI enters after the

Teledyne Technologies to participate in the terms and conditions thereof
effective Immediately After the Distribution Date on the same basis as ATI.
(ii) ATI shall have the right to determine, and shall
promptly notify Teledyne Technologies of, the manner in which Teledyne
Technologies' participation in the terms and conditions of ASO Contracts as set
forth above shall be effectuated. The permissible
11
15
ways in which Teledyne Technologies' participation may be effectuated include
automatically making Teledyne Technologies a party to the ASO Contracts or
obligating the third party to enter into a separate ASO Contract with Teledyne
Technologies providing for the same terms and conditions as are contained in the
ASO Contracts to which ATI is a party (or such other arrangement as to which ATI
and Teledyne Technologies shall mutually agree). Such terms and conditions shall
include the financial and termination provisions, performance standards,
methodology, auditing policies, quality measures, reporting requirements and
target claims. Teledyne Technologies hereby authorizes ATI to act on its behalf
to extend to Teledyne Technologies the terms and conditions of the ASO
Contracts. Teledyne Technologies shall fully cooperate with ATI in such efforts,
and Teledyne Technologies shall not perform any act, including discussing any
alternative arrangements with any third party, that would prejudice ATI's
efforts.

the provision or administration of benefits under the ATI Health and Welfare
Plans to permit Teledyne Technologies to participate in the terms and conditions

2000. ATI shall use its Reasonable Efforts to cause all Group Insurance Policies
into which ATI enters or which ATI renews after the date of this Agreement but
before the Close of the Distribution Date to allow Teledyne Technologies to
participate in the terms and conditions thereof effective Immediately After the
Distribution Date on the same basis as ATI.
(iii) Teledyne Technologies' participation in the
terms and conditions of each such Group Insurance Policy shall be effectuated by
obligating the insurance company that issued such insurance policy to ATI to
issue one or more separate policies to Teledyne Technologies. Such terms and
conditions shall include the financial and termination provisions, performance
standards and target claims. Teledyne Technologies hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably authorizes ATI to act on its behalf to extend to Teledyne
Technologies the terms and conditions of such Group Insurance Policies. Teledyne
Technologies shall fully cooperate with ATI in such efforts, and Teledyne
Technologies shall not perform any act, including discussing any alternative
arrangements with third parties, that would prejudice ATI's efforts.
(c) HMO AGREEMENTS.
(i) Before the Distribution Date, ATI shall use its
Reasonable Efforts to amend all letter agreements with HMOs that provide medical
services under the ATI Medical Plans for 1999 ("HMO Agreements") in existence as
of the date of this Agreement to permit Teledyne Technologies to participate in
the terms and conditions of such HMO Agreements, in each case, from Immediately
After the Distribution Date until December 31, 2000. ATI shall use its
Reasonable Efforts to cause all HMO Agreements into which ATI enters after the
date of this
12
16
Agreement but before the Close of the Distribution Date to allow Teledyne
Technologies to participate in the terms and conditions of such HMO Agreements
from Immediately After the Distribution Date until December 31, 2000 on the same
basis as ATI.
(ii) ATI shall have the right to determine, and shall
promptly notify Teledyne Technologies of, the manner in which Teledyne
Technologies' participation in the terms and conditions of all HMO Agreements as
set forth above shall be effectuated. The permissible ways in which Teledyne
Technologies' participation may be effectuated include automatically making
Teledyne Technologies a party to the HMO Agreements or obligating the HMOs to
enter into letter agreements with Teledyne Technologies which are identical to
the HMO Agreements (or such other arrangement as to which ATI and Teledyne
Technologies shall mutually agree). Such terms and conditions shall include the
financial and termination provisions of the HMO Agreements. Teledyne
Technologies hereby authorizes ATI to act on its behalf to extend to Teledyne
Technologies the terms and conditions of the HMO Agreements. Teledyne
Technologies shall fully cooperate with ATI in such efforts, and Teledyne
Technologies shall not perform any act, including discussing any alternative
arrangements with any third-party, that would prejudice ATI's efforts.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to
the contrary, Teledyne Technologies shall have the sole discretion to determine
which HMOs to offer to the participants in the Teledyne Technologies Health and
Welfare Plans for 2001 and subsequent years, and all HMO Agreements in which
Teledyne Technologies participates pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall provide

written arrangement governing such Plans. During any period in which ATI is

ATI's reasonable good faith opinion, such amendment will have no material
adverse impact on the Teledyne Technologies Health and Welfare Plan or its
participants or, to the extent a material adverse impact would occur, such
impact would affect both the applicable Teledyne Technologies Health and Welfare

such claims, including entering into settlements with respect to such claims.

so agree.

fulfill any other responsibility that Teledyne Technologies would otherwise be
required to take under the terms of this Article V, unless it is clear from the

under the applicable Teledyne Technologies Health and Welfare Plans that the
Teledyne Technologies Individual would have had if he or she had instead been
allocated to Teledyne Technologies. Further, each such Teledyne Technologies
Entity, unless otherwise expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless ATI for any
costs incurred by ATI pursuant to the provisions of Article V on behalf of or
related to such Teledyne Technologies Entity.

ATI and the ATI Entities from, all Benefit Liabilities thereunder; provided,
that no failure to seek or to obtain any such consent shall have any effect upon
the obligations of Teledyne Technologies and the Teledyne Technologies Entities
with respect to such Benefit Liabilities.

6.4(a)(ii)(B), Teledyne Technologies shall be responsible for determining, with
respect to all Awards that would otherwise be payable under any bonus Plan or
arrangement to Teledyne Technologies Individuals for the 1999 performance year,
(a) the extent to which established performance criteria (as interpreted by
Teledyne Technologies, in its sole discretion, after taking into account the
effects of the Distribution) have been met and (b) the payment level for each
Teledyne Technologies Individual.
6.4 ATI INCENTIVE PLANS. ATI and Teledyne Technologies shall use
their Reasonable Efforts to take all actions necessary or appropriate so that
each outstanding Award granted under any ATI Incentive Plan held by any Teledyne
Technologies Individual shall be
17
21
determined, converted or replaced, as the case may be, as set forth in this
Section 6.4 with an Award under the Teledyne Technologies Incentive Plan.
(a) TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ACTIVE EMPLOYEES
OF TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES.
(i) STOCK OPTIONS. Teledyne Technologies shall cause
each ATI Option that is outstanding as of the Close of the Distribution Date and
is held by a Teledyne Technologies Individual to be converted, effective
Immediately After the Distribution Date, to a Teledyne Technologies Option (a
"Converted Option"). Such Converted Option shall provide for the option to
purchase a number of shares of Teledyne Technologies Common Stock equal to the
number of shares of ATI Common Stock subject to such ATI Option as of the Close
of the Distribution Date, multiplied by the Ratio, and then rounded up to the
nearest whole share. The per-share exercise price of such Converted Option shall
equal the per-share exercise price of such ATI Option as of the Close of the
Distribution Date divided by the Ratio. Each such Converted Option shall
otherwise have the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the
corresponding ATI Option as of the Close of the Distribution Date, except that
references to ATI and its Affiliates shall be amended to refer to Teledyne
Technologies and its Affiliates.
(ii) PERFORMANCE AWARDS.
(A) The current performance period under the
ATI Performance Share Program is the three-year period commencing on January 1,
1998. Either prior to or within a reasonable time after the Distribution Date,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4(a)(ii)(B), the applicable ATI

relating to Teledyne Technologies Individuals with respect to the administration
and distribution of Performance Awards to such Teledyne Technologies
Individuals.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 6.3, the ATI Personnel and Compensation Committee or the Stock Incentive
Award Subcommittee, as the case may be, shall determine, in its sole and
absolute discretion, with respect to each Teledyne Technologies Individual, the
extent to which, as of the Distribution Date, such Individual has achieved
target performance levels established under the ATI Performance Share Program
and the appropriate Performance Award for such Individual based upon such
performance. The Performance Award so determined shall be pro-rated by
multiplying the Performance Award determined under the preceding sentence by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the number of months from and
including January 1, 1998 to the month in which the Distribution Date occurs and
the denominator of which shall be 36. The Performance Award as determined
hereunder shall be distributed by Teledyne Technologies and the Teledyne
Technologies Entities to the applicable Teledyne Technologies Individual as
provided under the terms of the Performance Share Program; provided, however,
that any ATI Common Stock allocated or otherwise awarded to a Teledyne
Technologies Individual as part of a Performance Award under
18
22
the provisions of this Section 6.4(a)(ii) shall, prior to any distribution to
such Individual and, in any event, no later than Immediately After the
Distribution Date, be converted into Teledyne Technologies Common Stock by
multiplying the number of shares of ATI Common Stock subject to such Performance
Award by an appropriate ratio, as determined by ATI's Board of Directors or an
applicable Committee thereof and then rounding the product up to the nearest
whole share. Teledyne Technologies shall pay to the holder of such Performance
Award, at the time of such conversion, cash in lieu of any fractional share
based on the Teledyne Technologies Stock Value.
(iii) SARP. As of the Distribution Date, all shares
of ATI Common Stock issued and outstanding held by a Teledyne Technologies
Individual under the ATI SARP as Designated Stock or Purchased Stock (as those
terms are defined in the ATI SARP) shall continue to be so held, and the shares
of Teledyne Technologies Common Stock received by Teledyne Technologies
Individuals in respect of their Purchased Stock and Designated Stock pursuant to
the distribution terms of Article III of the Separation and Distribution
Agreement and the shares of Water Pik Technologies, Inc. Common Stock received
by Teledyne Technologies Individuals in respect of their Purchased Stock and
Designated Stock as a result of the spin-off of Water Pik Technologies, Inc. by
ATI to ATI's stockholders shall also be considered Designated Stock or Purchased
Stock, as the case may be, subject to the terms of the ATI SARP. Effective
Immediately After the Distribution Date, Teledyne Technologies shall assume all
Benefit Liabilities to or relating to Teledyne Technologies Individuals under
the ATI SARP relating to the Restricted Stock (as that term is defined in the
ATI SARP), but ATI shall retain all promissory notes payable by participants
into the ATI SARP, including Teledyne Technologies Individuals, to the order of
ATI, and the collateral with respect to such notes shall include all shares of
ATI Common Stock that were pledged as collateral for purposes of the ATI SARP
immediately prior to the Distribution Date as well as the shares of Teledyne
Technologies Common Stock and Water Pik Technologies, Inc. Common Stock issued
in respect of such shares of ATI Common Stock held as collateral. Effective
Immediately After the Distribution Date, pursuant to the terms of the ATI SARP,
all Teledyne Technologies Individuals holding awards of Restricted Stock under
the ATI SARP as of the Distribution Date shall receive, without any further
action on their part and in substitution for all shares of Restricted Stock held
immediately prior to the Distribution Date by such Teledyne Technologies
Individuals under the ATI SARP, a number of shares of Teledyne Technologies
Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of ATI Common Stock
that are held immediately prior to the Distribution Date as Restricted Stock
under the ATI SARP by an appropriate ratio, as determined by ATI's Board of
Directors or an applicable Committee thereof then rounding the product up to the
nearest whole share, and such shares of Teledyne Technologies Common Stock shall
be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of ATI Common Stock prior to
the conversion.
(b) TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT ACTIVE
EMPLOYEES OF TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES. Each outstanding Award that is held by an
individual who, as of the Close of the Distribution Date, would otherwise be a
Teledyne Technologies Individual but is not an active employee of or on leave of
absence from Teledyne Technologies or a Teledyne Technologies Entity shall
remain outstanding Immediately After the Distribution Date in accordance with
its terms as applicable as of the Close of the Distribution Date, subject to
such adjustments as may be applicable to outstanding Awards held
19
23
by individuals who remain active employees of or on leave of absence from ATI or
an ATI Entity after the Distribution Date.

any insurance company insuring one or more lives under the Corporate-Owned Life
Insurance Policies, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to assign those
Policies insuring Teledyne Technologies Individuals to Teledyne Technologies,
effective Immediately After the Distribution Date. If a Corporate-Owned Life
Insurance Policy is so assigned to Teledyne Technologies, Teledyne Technologies
shall assume and be solely responsible for all Benefit Liabilities, and shall be
entitled to all benefits, thereunder, effective as of the earlier of (i) the
Close of the Distribution Date and (ii) the date of such assignment. ATI and
Teledyne Technologies shall continue, liquidate and/or administer such

(a) ACTUARIAL AND ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS.
For purposes of this Agreement, unless specifically indicated otherwise: (i) all
actuarial methodologies and assumptions used for a particular Plan shall (except
to the extent otherwise determined by ATI and Teledyne Technologies to be
reasonable or necessary) be substantially the same as those used in the
actuarial valuation of that Plan used to determine minimum funding requirements
under ERISA Section 302 and Code Section 412(c) for 1999, or, if such Plan is
not subject to such minimum funding requirements, the assumptions used to
prepare ATI's audited financial statements for 1999, as the case may be; and
(ii) the value of plan assets shall be the value established by ATI for purposes
of audited financial statements of the relevant plan or trust for the period
ending on the date as of which the valuation is to be made. Except as otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement or as required by law, all determinations as to
the amount or valuation of any assets of or relating to any ATI Plan (whether or
not such assets are being transferred to a Teledyne Technologies Plan) shall be
made by ATI in its sole and absolute discretion and such determination shall be
final and binding on all parties.
(b) PAYMENT OF LIABILITIES; DETERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE STATUS.
Teledyne Technologies shall pay directly, or reimburse ATI promptly for, all
Benefit Liabilities assumed by it pursuant to this Agreement, including all
compensation payable to Teledyne Technologies Individuals for services rendered
while in the employ of ATI or an ATI Entity before becoming a Teledyne
Technologies Individual (to the extent not charged for pursuant to Section 7.1
or another Ancillary Agreement). To the extent the amount of such Benefit
Liabilities is not yet determinable because the status of individuals as
Teledyne Technologies Individuals is not yet determined, except as otherwise
specified herein or in another
21
25
Ancillary Agreement with respect to particular Benefit Liabilities, Teledyne
Technologies shall make such payments or reimbursements based upon ATI's
reasonable estimates of the amounts thereof, and when such status is determined,
Teledyne Technologies shall make additional reimbursements or payments, or ATI
shall reimburse Teledyne Technologies, to the extent necessary to reflect the
actual amount of such Benefit Liabilities. In determining the number of
individuals in any particular group of employees described in this Agreement
(such as "Teledyne Technologies Individuals"), no individual shall be counted
twice. Determinations of what entity employs or employed a particular individual
shall be made by reference to the applicable legal entity and/or other
appropriate accounting code, to the extent possible.
7.3 SHARING OF PARTICIPANT INFORMATION. ATI and Teledyne
Technologies shall share, ATI shall cause each applicable ATI Entity to share,
and Teledyne Technologies shall cause each applicable Teledyne Technologies
Entity to share, with each other and their respective agents and vendors
(without obtaining releases) all participant information necessary for the
efficient and accurate administration of each of the ATI Plans and the Teledyne
Technologies Plans. ATI and Teledyne Technologies and their respective
authorized agents shall, subject to applicable laws on confidentiality, be given
reasonable and timely access to, and may make copies of, all information
relating to the subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the other party, to
the extent necessary for such administration. Until December 31, 2000, all
participant information shall be provided in a manner and medium that is
compatible with the data processing systems of ATI as in effect on the Close of
the Distribution Date, unless otherwise agreed to by ATI and Teledyne
Technologies.
7.4 REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE AND COMMUNICATIONS TO PARTICIPANTS.
Teledyne Technologies shall take, and shall cause each other applicable Teledyne
Technologies Entity to take, all actions necessary or appropriate to facilitate
the distribution of all applicable ATI Plan-related communications and materials
to Teledyne Technologies Individuals and their beneficiaries, including summary
plan descriptions and related summaries of material modification, summary annual
reports, investment information, prospectuses, notices and enrollment material
related to the Teledyne Technologies Plans. Teledyne Technologies shall pay ATI
the cost relating to the copies of all such documents provided to Teledyne
Technologies, except to the extent such costs are charged pursuant to Section
7.1 or pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement. Teledyne Technologies shall assist,
and Teledyne Technologies shall cause each other applicable Teledyne
Technologies Entity to assist, ATI in complying with all reporting and
disclosure requirements of ERISA, including the preparation of Form 5500 annual
reports for the ATI Plans, where applicable.
7.5 NON-TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
No provision of this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement
shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any
compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any Teledyne Technologies
Individual or other future, present or former employee of ATI, an ATI Entity,
Teledyne Technologies, or a Teledyne Technologies Entity under any ATI Plan or
Teledyne Technologies Plan or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing: (i) the Distribution shall not cause any employee to be deemed to
have incurred a termination of employment which entitles such individual to the
commencement of benefits under any of the ATI Plans, any of the Teledyne
Technologies Plans,
22
26
or any individual agreements; and (ii) except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Teledyne Technologies, at
any time after the Close of the Distribution Date, from amending, merging,
modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any
respect any Teledyne Technologies Plan, any benefit under any Plan or any trust,
insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any Teledyne Technologies Plan
unless such change could or will increase the obligations of ATI or any ATI
Entity under any plan or arrangement.
7.6 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. All beneficiary designations made by
Teledyne Technologies Individuals for ATI Plans shall be transferred to and be
in full force and effect under the corresponding Teledyne Technologies Plans
until such beneficiary designations are replaced or revoked by the Teledyne
Technologies Individual who made the beneficiary designation.
7.7 REQUESTS FOR IRS RULINGS AND DOL OPINIONS. Teledyne
Technologies shall cooperate fully with ATI on any issue relating to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which ATI elects to seek a
determination letter or private letter ruling from the IRS or an advisory
opinion from the DOL. ATI shall cooperate fully with Teledyne Technologies with
respect to any request for a determination letter or private letter ruling from
the IRS or advisory opinion from the DOL with respect to any of the Teledyne
Technologies Plans relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.8 FIDUCIARY MATTERS. ATI and Teledyne Technologies each
acknowledges that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be
subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other
applicable law, and no party shall be deemed to be in violation of this
Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good
faith determination that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or
standard.
7.9 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. To the extent any provision of this
Agreement is contrary to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement
to which ATI or any Affiliate of ATI is a party, the terms of such collective
bargaining agreement shall prevail. Should any provisions of this Agreement be
deemed to relate to a topic determined by an appropriate authority to be a
mandatory subject of collective bargaining, ATI or Teledyne Technologies may be
obligated to bargain with the union representing affected employees concerning
those subjects. Neither party will agree to a modification of any collective
bargaining agreement without the consent of the other.
7.10 CONSENT OF THIRD PARTIES. If any provision of this Agreement
is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor or a union) and
such consent is withheld, ATI and Teledyne Technologies shall use their
Reasonable Efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to
the full extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be
implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, ATI and Teledyne
Technologies shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a
mutually satisfactory manner.

7.11 INDEMNIFICATION OF ATI. Teledyne Technologies shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless ATI, each ATI Entity and each of their respective
directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors
and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "ATI Indemnitees") from
and against (i) any and all Benefit Liabilities of the ATI Indemnitees to the
extent any such Benefit Liabilities are assumed by Teledyne Technologies or a
Teledyne Technologies Entity under this Agreement and (ii) any and all changes
or modifications to any rights, privileges or benefits of or relating to any
Teledyne Technologies Individual as provided in or otherwise contemplated by
this Agreement.
