3. Mandatory Purchase.
(a) Purchase Period. The Executive must purchase all of the Shares no later than the twenty-fifth (25th) day following the first to occur of (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the date hereof, and (ii) a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company in the circumstances described in Section 5(C) of the Retention Agreement between the Raytheon Company and the Executive dated July 27, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”).
(b) If there is a Transaction prior to the Expiration Date, the Executive must provide notice of exercise of the Purchase Right no later than ten (10) days following the execution of the definitive agreement (including, without limitation, any purchase agreement, merger agreement, or agreement relating to the support or implementation of a tender offer) that, if consummated, would result in the Transaction. Such notice shall provide that the Executive is exercising the Purchase Right and purchasing the Shares on the date of consummation. Once made, such notice shall be irrevocable unless the Transaction is not consummated. The Company shall notify the Executive in writing within five (5) days following execution of such agreement.
(c) Method of Exercise.
(i) The Shares shall be purchased by delivery of the written notice attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Board together with payment in full of the purchase price in
cash or by check or wire transfer. The Executive shall not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares until the Executive has given written notice of purchase of the Shares, paid in full for such Shares, satisfied any applicable withholding requirements and, if applicable, satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee or pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Shares may not be purchased prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Purchase Right or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange (collectively, the “Legal Requirements”) that the Committee shall in good faith based on advice of counsel determine to be necessary or advisable, unless an exemption to such registration or qualification is available and satisfied. The Committee may establish additional procedures as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the purchase of any Shares to comply with any Legal Requirements.
(iii) Upon the Committee’s determination that the Shares have been validly purchased, and that the Executive has paid in full for the Shares and satisfied any applicable withholding requirements, the Company shall issue certificates in the Executive’s name for the Shares.
(iv) The Executive agrees that as a condition precedent to the purchase of the Shares he will become a party to the Stockholders Agreement.
4. No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the Purchase Right evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any other member of the Company Group to continue the employment of the Executive and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or such other member’s right to terminate the employment of such Executive.
5. Legend on Certificates. The certificates representing the Shares purchased shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
6. Transferability. The Purchase Right and the Executive’s other rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Executive without the prior written consent of the Company otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against any member of the Company Group; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Executive’s death prior to the Expiration Date his heirs and legatees shall have the right to exercise the Purchase Right and purchase the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.
