behalf of itself and each member of ATI, including TII) and Teledyne
Technologies (on behalf of itself and each member of the Teledyne Technologies
Group) understands and agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein or in
any Ancillary Agreement, no party to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or
any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary
Agreement or otherwise, is representing or warranting in any way as to the
Assets, businesses or Liabilities transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby
or thereby (including whether an Asset is Year 2000 Compliant), as to any
consents or approvals required in connection therewith, as to the value or
freedom from any Security Interests of, or any other matter concerning, any
Assets of such party, or as to the absence of any defenses or rights of setoff

of any assignment, document or instrument delivered hereunder to convey title to
any Asset or thing of value upon the execution,
17
21
delivery and filing hereof or thereof. Without limiting the scope of the
foregoing, no party makes any representations or warranties as to the
Intellectual Property sought to be transferred herein, including, without
limitation, whether such Intellectual Property or any portion thereof is valid,
enforceable, freely transferable, free and clear of liens (except permitted
liens) or sufficient and complete in order to conduct the Teledyne Technologies
Business, whether any party herein owns, has the exclusive right to use or has
the ability to practice such Intellectual Property or any portion thereof, or
whether such Intellectual Property or the operation of any aspect of the
Teledyne Technologies Business infringes or conflicts in any way with any
Intellectual Property right of any third party. Except as may expressly be set
forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, all such Assets are being
transferred on an "as is," "where is," "with all faults" basis (and, in the case
of any real property, by means of a quitclaim or similar form deed or
conveyance) and the respective transferees shall bear the economic and legal
risks that any conveyance shall prove to be insufficient to vest in the
transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of any Security Interest.
Without limiting the foregoing, neither ATI nor any other party hereto
(excluding Teledyne Technologies), or to any Ancillary Agreement, is making any
representation or warranty to Teledyne Technologies or any other Person in
respect of the Teledyne Technologies Balance Sheet, including in respect of the
accuracy or presentation thereof, or the adequacy of accruals, reserves and
other amounts reflected thereon.

Facility; and (c) that ATI has used, or will use prior to the Distribution Date,
such indebtedness to refinance other outstanding indebtedness of ATI. Teledyne
Technologies agrees that, following the Distribution Date, Teledyne Technologies
will indemnify ATI (and all the other members of the ATI Group) and defend and
hold such parties harmless from and against all the obligations of ATI (or
Teledyne Technologies) arising under the Financing Facility (including the
obligation to repay such $100 million in outstanding borrowings), with the
effect that ATI (and all other members of the ATI Group) shall have no further
liability or obligation under the Financing Facility.
2.10 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS AND CONSENTS. (a) To the extent that the
Separation requires any Governmental Approvals or Consents, the parties will use
all reasonable efforts to obtain any such Governmental Approvals and Consents.
(b) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected
transfer or assignment (or novation of any federal government contract) to the
Teledyne Technologies Group of any Teledyne Technologies Assets (or from the
Teledyne Technologies Group of any Non-Teledyne Technologies Assets) would be a
violation of applicable laws or require any Consent or Governmental Approval in
connection with the Separation, then, unless ATI shall otherwise determine, the
transfer or assignment to or from the Teledyne Technologies Group, as the case
may be, of such Teledyne Technologies Assets or Non-Teledyne Technologies
Assets, respectively, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such
purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void until such time as all
legal impediments are removed and/or such Consents or Governmental Approvals
have been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
18
22
such Asset shall be deemed a Teledyne Technologies Asset for purposes of
determining whether any Liability is a Teledyne Technologies Liability.
(c) If the transfer or assignment of any Assets intended to be
transferred or assigned hereunder is not consummated prior to or at the
Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.10(b) or for
any other reason, then the Person retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold
such Asset for the use and benefit, insofar as reasonably possible, of the
Person entitled thereto (at the expense of the Person entitled thereto). In
addition, the Person retaining such Asset shall take such other actions as may
be reasonably requested by the Person to whom such Asset is to be transferred in
order to place such Person, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position
as if such Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the
benefits and burdens relating to such Teledyne Technologies Assets (or such
Non-Teledyne Technologies Assets, as the case may be), including possession,
use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over
such Assets, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the Teledyne
Technologies Group (or the ATI Group, as the case may be).
(d) If and when the Consents and/or Governmental Approvals, the absence
of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Asset pursuant to Section
2.10(b), are obtained, the transfer of the applicable Asset shall be effected in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary
Agreement.
(e) The Person retaining an Asset due to the deferral of the transfer
of such Asset shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to
expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced by the Person entitled
to the Asset, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys' fees and
recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the
Person entitled to such Asset.
2.11 NOVATION OF ASSUMED TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES LIABILITIES. (a) Each of
ATI, TII and Teledyne Technologies at the request of any of the others, shall
use all reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent,
substitution, approval or amendment required to novate (including with respect
to any federal government contract) or assign all obligations under agreements,
leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities, or to obtain in writing
the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any
member of the Teledyne Technologies Group, so that, in any such case, Teledyne
Technologies and its Subsidiaries will be solely responsible for such
Liabilities; provided, however, that no member of the ATI Group shall be
obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom such
consents, approvals, substitutions and amendments are requested.
(b) If ATI, TII or Teledyne Technologies is unable to obtain, or to
cause to be obtained, any such required consent, approval, release, substitution
or amendment, the applicable member of the ATI Group shall continue to be bound
by such agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations and, unless not
permitted by law or the terms thereof, Teledyne Technologies shall, as agent or
subcontractor for ATI, TII or such other Person, as the case may be, pay,
perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of ATI, TII
or such other Person, as the case may be, thereunder from and after the date
hereof. Teledyne Technologies shall indemnify and defend each ATI Indemnitee and
hold each of them harmless against any
19
23
Liabilities arising in connection therewith. Each of ATI and TII, as the case
may be, shall, without further consideration, pay and remit, or cause to be paid
or remitted, to Teledyne Technologies promptly all money, rights and other
consideration received by it or any member of its respective Group in respect of
such performance (unless any such consideration is an Excluded Asset). If and
when any such consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be
obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall
otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, each of ATI and TII, as the
case may be, shall thereafter assign, or cause to be assigned, all its rights,
obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any rights or obligations of any
member of its respective Group to Teledyne Technologies without payment of
further consideration and Teledyne Technologies shall, without the payment of
any further consideration, assume such rights and obligations.

(g) Teledyne Technologies shall pay all third party costs, fees
and expenses relating to the Public Offering, all of the reimbursable expenses
of the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, all of the costs of
producing, printing, mailing and otherwise distributing the Prospectus, as well
as the Underwriters' discount as provided in the Underwriting Agreement.
4.02 PROCEEDS OF THE PUBLIC OFFERING. The Public Offering will be a
primary offering of Teledyne Technologies Common Stock and the net proceeds of
the Public Offering will be retained by Teledyne Technologies. Teledyne
Technologies will use such net proceeds as provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement
and the Ruling Request.
4.03 REMEDIES. Teledyne Technologies acknowledges that its
agreements in this Article IV are of a special, unique, unusual and
extraordinary character. Because the failure of Teledyne Technologies to perform
its obligations set forth in the provisions of this Article IV could cause
unique and extraordinary injury to ATI, ATI shall, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, have the right in addition to any other remedies available,
at law or in equity, to seek an injunction in a court of equity to compel
Teledyne Technologies to perform such obligations. Teledyne Technologies hereby
waives any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or
competence of the court to grant an injunction or other equitable relief, or
otherwise, and agrees that it will not assert any such defense or any defense to
a request by ATI for injunctive relief based on the alleged existence of an
adequate remedy at law or for money damages. Without limiting the foregoing,
Teledyne Technologies hereby waives the right to require ATI to post any bond or
other security with respect to any proceeding to enforce the provisions of this
Article IV. The existence of the rights of ATI set forth in this Section 4.03
shall not preclude any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which ATI
may have.

"Water Pik Indemnitees"), from and against any and all Liabilities of the ATI
Indemnitees and the Water Pik Indemnitees, respectively, relating to, arising
out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):
(a) the failure of Teledyne Technologies or any other member of
the Teledyne Technologies Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise
promptly discharge any Teledyne Technologies Liabilities or Teledyne

to or after the Effective Time or the date hereof;

Liability or any Teledyne Technologies Contract;
(c) any breach by Teledyne Technologies or any member of the Teledyne
Technologies Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;
(d) the operation of the Teledyne Technologies Business, as
conducted at any time prior to, on or after the Distribution Date (including any

26
30
5.03 INDEMNIFICATION BY ATI. (a) ATI shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Teledyne Technologies, each member of the Teledyne Technologies
Group and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any
of the foregoing (collectively, the "Teledyne Technologies Indemnitees"), from
and against any and all Liabilities of the Teledyne Technologies Indemnitees
relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items
(without duplication):
(i) the failure of ATI or any other member of the ATI Group to
pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any ATI Liabilities; and
(ii) any breach by ATI of this Agreement or any of the
Ancillary Agreements.
5.04 INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS NET OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND
OTHER AMOUNTS. (a) The parties intend that any Liability subject to
indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article V will be net of
Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability.
Accordingly, the amount which any party (an "Indemnifying Party") is required to
pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnitee") will
be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee in reduction of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee
receives a payment (an "Indemnity Payment") required by this Agreement from an
Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives
Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an
amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of
the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had
been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim
shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by
virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights
with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer
or any other third party shall be entitled to a "windfall" (i.e., a benefit they
would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification
provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall obligate any member
of any Group to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds.
5.05 PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. (a) If
an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a
Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the ATI
Group or the Teledyne Technologies Group of any claim or of the commencement by
any such Person of any Action (collectively, a "Third Party Claim") with respect
to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to
such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5.02 or 5.03, or any other Section of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such
Indemnifying Party and, if ATI is not the Indemnifying Party, ATI written notice
thereof as soon as practicable but in any event not less than 20 days after
becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the
Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as
27
31
provided in this Section 5.05(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying
Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the
Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to
settle or compromise), at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such
Indemnifying Party's own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days after
the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.05(a) (or
sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying
Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party
will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election
shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying
Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party
Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such
Indemnitee except as set forth in the next sentence. In the event that the
Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim
but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in
such notice, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one
separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.
(c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility
for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its
election as provided in Section 5.05(b), such Indemnitee may defend such Third
Party Claim at the cost and expense (including allocated costs of in-house
counsel and other personnel) of the Indemnifying Party.
(d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense
of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no
Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of
the Indemnifying Party.
(e) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the
Indemnitee if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory
judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or
indirectly, against any Indemnitee.
5.06 ADDITIONAL MATTERS. (a) Any claim on account of a Liability
which does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written
notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such
Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such
notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not
respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to
have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying
Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole
or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be
available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements.
(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying
Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall be
28
32
subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events
or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense
or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff
asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee
shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the
cost and expense (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other
personnel) of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right,
defense or claim.
(c) In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is
not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party
shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying
Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be
achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the
Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section and the
Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs
of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court,
attorneys' fees, experts' fees and all other external expenses, and the
allocated costs of in-house counsel and other personnel), the costs of any
judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to
any judgment or settlement.
5.07 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies provided in this Article V
shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any
other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any
Indemnifying Party.
5.08 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. The rights and obligations of each of
the Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive the sale or other transfer by
any party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any
Liabilities.
ARTICLE VI
CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS
6.01 INSURANCE MATTERS. (a) In no event shall ATI, any other member
of the ATI Group or any ATI Indemnitee have any liability or obligation
whatsoever to any member of the Teledyne Technologies Group in the event that
any Insurance Policy or other contract or policy of insurance shall be
terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be
unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the Teledyne
Technologies Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended
beyond the current expiration date.
(b) (i) Except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the
parties intend by this Agreement that Teledyne Technologies and each other
member of the Teledyne Technologies Group be successors-in-interest to all
rights that any member of the Teledyne Technologies Group may have as of the
Distribution Date as a subsidiary, affiliate, division or department of ATI
prior to the Distribution Date under any policy of insurance issued to ATI and
intended to insure the Teledyne Technologies Group by any insurance carrier
unaffiliated with ATI or under any agreements related to such policies executed
and delivered prior to the Distribution Date, including any rights such member
of the Teledyne Technologies Group may
29
33
have, as an insured or additional named insured, subsidiary, affiliate, division
or department, to avail itself of any such policy of insurance or any such
agreements related to such policies as in effect prior to the Distribution Date.
At the request of Teledyne Technologies, ATI shall take all reasonable steps,
including the execution and delivery of any instruments, to effect the
foregoing; provided however that ATI shall not be required to pay any amounts,
waive any rights or incur any Liabilities in connection therewith.
(ii) Except as otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary Agreement,
after the Distribution Date, neither ATI nor Teledyne Technologies or any member
of their respective Groups shall, without the consent of the other, provide any
such insurance carrier with a release, or amend, modify or waive any rights
under any such policy or agreement, if such release, amendment, modification or
waiver would adversely affect any rights or potential rights of any member of
the other Group thereunder; provided however that the foregoing shall not (A)
preclude any member of any Group from presenting any claim or from exhausting
any policy limit, (B) require any member of any Group to pay any premium or
other amount or to incur any Liability, or (C) require any member of any Group
to renew, extend or continue any policy in force. Each of Teledyne Technologies
and ATI will, and will cause its respective Group to, share such information as
is reasonably necessary in order to permit the other to manage and conduct its
insurance matters in an orderly fashion.
(c) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted
assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall
not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the ATI Group in
respect of any Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.
(d) Teledyne Technologies does hereby, for itself and each other
member of the Teledyne Technologies Group, agree that no member of the ATI Group
or any ATI Indemnitee shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the
insurance policies and practices of ATI and its Affiliates as in effect at any
time prior to the Distribution Date, including as a result of the level or scope
of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms
and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any
insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.
(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict any
member of the Teledyne Technologies Group from acquiring at its own expense any
other insurance policy in respect of any Liabilities or covering any period.
(f) With respect to policy periods prior to the Distribution Date:
(i) Teledyne Technologies shall be responsible for: (A) all Unpaid
Losses (but not to exceed the applicable Per Case Maximum) as of the
Distribution Date attributable to Teledyne Technologies Liabilities covered
under ATI General Liability Policies, ATI Automobile Policies, ATI Workers
Compensation Policies and ATI Product Liability Policies for policies in effect
prior to the Distribution Date; and (B) Pooled Loss Costs Allocable to Teledyne
Technologies.
30
34
(ii) On or before June 1, 2000 and on a quarterly basis thereafter,
ATI shall provide Teledyne Technologies with a calculation of amounts due ATI or
refunds due Teledyne Technologies for Teledyne Technologies' obligations
incurred under ATI General Liability Policies, ATI Automobile Policies, ATI
Workers Compensation Policies and ATI Product Liability Policies for policies
under subparagraph (i) immediately above. The initial calculations shall be
based on (A) the change in total Incurred Losses between the Distribution Date
and March 31, 2000 for all such policies in effect prior to the Distribution
Date multiplied by the Expense Factors set forth in such policies and applicable
to such Incurred Losses, but only with respect to that portion of Incurred
Losses attributable to Teledyne Technologies Liabilities not exceeding the
applicable Per Case Maximum; and (B) the change in Pooled Loss Costs Allocable
to Teledyne Technologies for the period between the Distribution Date and March
31, 2000 for all such policies in effect prior to the Distribution Date.
Subsequent calculations shall be based on (A) the change in total Incurred
Losses for the subsequent quarterly periods multiplied by the Expense Factors
set forth in such policies and applicable to such losses; but only with respect
to that portion of losses attributable to Teledyne Technologies Liabilities not
exceeding the applicable Per Case Maximum, and (B) the change in Pooled Loss
Costs Allocable to Teledyne Technologies for the subsequent quarterly period.
(iii) Within 30 days after receipt by Teledyne Technologies of ATI's
calculations referred to in subparagraph (ii) immediately above, Teledyne
Technologies on the one hand and ATI on the other hand shall pay to the other
the net amount owed after taking into account the combined amounts reflected on
the calculations.
(g) At its sole option, ATI shall have the right to handle,
defend, resolve, and administer any and all claims in its sole discretion, with
respect to Teledyne Technologies Liabilities covered, in whole or in part, by
ATI Policies, including, without limitation, the reporting of claims to the
issuers of such ATI Policies, as well as the management, defense and settlement
of claims. ATI will not enter into any such settlement of a claim without the
consent of Teledyne Technologies (which will not be unreasonably withheld) if
the effect thereof is to render Teledyne Technologies liable for a monetary
obligation with respect to such claim. Teledyne Technologies agrees to
cooperate, at its own expense, with ATI in the reporting, handling, defense,
resolution and administration of such claims. Alternatively, ATI, at its sole
option shall have the right to require, at any time and from time to time, that
Teledyne Technologies and any member of the Teledyne Technologies Group, at
their sole expense, defend, resolve and administer any one or more or all claims
with respect to Teledyne Technologies Liabilities covered in whole, or in part,
by ATI Policies, including without limitation, the reporting of claims to the
issuers of such ATI Policies, as well as the management, defense and settlement
of such claims and, if ATI exercises such option, Teledyne Technologies and
members of the Teledyne Technologies Group, at ATI's request, shall at their
expense provide ATI with any and all information concerning, and permit ATI to
monitor, the foregoing management, defense, settlement and insurance handling of
such claims. Except with the express written consent of ATI, neither Teledyne
Technologies nor any member of the Teledyne Technologies Group shall provide any
issuer of ATI Policies with a release, nor shall they amend, modify, or waive
any rights under such ATI Policies, if such release, amendment, modification or
waiver would adversely affect rights or potential rights of ATI or any other
member of the ATI Group.
31
35
(h) With respect to policies procured by or for the Teledyne
Technologies Group subsequent to January 1999 and to policy years commencing on
or after the Distribution Date, Teledyne Technologies shall be responsible for
all aspects of claims administration with respect to Teledyne Technologies
Liabilities, and ATI shall have no responsibility therefor whatsoever.
(i) With respect to any Teledyne Technologies Liabilities or
Teledyne Technologies losses covered under ATI Policies, other than ATI General
Liability Policies, ATI Automobile Policies, ATI Workers Compensation Policies
and ATI Product Liability Policies, Teledyne Technologies shall be responsible
for all Unpaid Losses and all costs and expenses that give rise to a
Self-Insurance Obligation. In the event that ATI pays any such costs and
expenses, Teledyne Technologies shall reimburse ATI within thirty days of
receipt of a billing for any such costs and expenses.
6.02 CERTAIN BUSINESS MATTERS. No member of any Group shall have
any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines
of business as any member of any other Group, (ii) doing business with any
potential or actual supplier or customer of any member of any other Group, or
(iii) engaging in, or refraining from, any other activities whatsoever relating
to any of the potential or actual suppliers or customers of any member of any
other Group.
6.03 LATE PAYMENTS. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in
this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due
pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or
otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within 30
days of such xxxx, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2%.
6.04 CERTAIN GOVERNANCE MATTERS. (a) Teledyne Technologies and ATI
intend that until the third annual meeting of stockholders of Teledyne
Technologies held following the Distribution Date, at least a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors of Teledyne Technologies will at all times
consist of persons who are also members of the Board of Directors of ATI. The
initial members of the Board of Directors of Teledyne Technologies and the
respective initial Classes of the Board in which they will serve are as follows:
Class I: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (Chairman)

C. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Class II: Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Class III: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xx.
(b) Teledyne Technologies will, with respect to the first annual
meeting of stockholders of Teledyne Technologies held following the Distribution
Date, nominate for election and recommend to stockholders the election of Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxx and C. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (or, if any such candidate
unable or unwilling to serve, such other candidate as
32
36
Messrs. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx or the survivor of them shall designate) to
serve as a continuing Class I director of Teledyne Technologies.
(c) Teledyne Technologies shall take such action from time to time
as ATI requests in order to assure that, until the third annual meeting of
stockholders of Teledyne Technologies following the Distribution Date, at least
a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Teledyne Technologies
will at all times consist of persons who are also members of the Board of
Directors of ATI. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if for any
reason (including death, resignation or disqualification) there are no directors
of Teledyne Technologies who are also directors of ATI, Teledyne Technologies
will immediately take all action requested by ATI to appoint to the Board of
Directors of Teledyne Technologies such members of the Board of Directors of ATI

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY
7.01 AGREEMENT FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; ARCHIVES. (a) Each of
ATI and Teledyne Technologies, on behalf of itself and its respective Group,
agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to each other Group, at any time

or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, tax or

available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business
demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or
books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with
any Action in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved,
regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which
indemnification
34
38
may be sought hereunder. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses
(including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other personnel) in
connection therewith.
(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to

claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any intellectual
property of a third Person in a manner that would hamper or undermine the
defense of such infringement or similar claim.
(d) The obligation of the parties to provide witnesses pursuant to
this Section 7.06 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate

and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the
witness could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the qualifications
set forth in the first sentence of Section 7.06(a)).
(e) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section
7.06, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement
so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client
privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.

any member of such Group or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives,
(ii) later lawfully acquired
35
39
from other sources by such party (or any member of such party's Group) which
sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation), or (iii)
independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential
Information of the other party.
(b) Each party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be
released or disclosed, any such Information to any other Person, except its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors
and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of
their obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), except in
compliance with Section 7.08. Without limiting the foregoing, when any
Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement
or any Ancillary Agreement, each party will promptly after request of the other
party either return to the other party all Information in a tangible form
(including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based
thereon) or certify to the other party that it has destroyed such Information
(and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).
7.08 PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS. In the event that any party or any
member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is
required to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable law or receives any
demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or
provide Information of any other party (or any member of any other party's
Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such party
shall notify the other party prior to disclosing or providing such Information
and shall cooperate at the expense of the requesting party in seeking any
reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other party. Subject to the
foregoing, the Person that received such request may thereafter disclose or
provide Information to the extent required by such law (as so advised by
counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in
equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The parties agree

action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is
waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such

or in connection with this Agreement other than those arising from or in
connection with Article IV of this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort,
statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, disputes in connection with
claims by third parties (collectively, "Disputes"), shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 10.14; provided, however, that nothing contained

or (ii) equitable or other judicial relief to enforce the provisions hereof or
to preserve the status quo pending resolution of Disputes hereunder.
41
45
(b) Any party may give the other parties written notice of any
Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. The parties shall attempt
in good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiation between executives
of the parties who have authority to settle the controversy. Within 15 days
after delivery of the notice, the foregoing executives of both parties shall
meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they
reasonably deem necessary for a period not to exceed five days, to attempt to
resolve the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party
to the other will be honored. If the parties do not resolve the Dispute within
such 20 day period (the "Initial Mediation Period"), the parties shall attempt
in good faith to resolve the Dispute by negotiation between or among the
Designated Officers. The Designated Officers shall meet at a mutually acceptable
time and place (but in no event no later than 15 days following the expiration
of the Initial Mediation Period) and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem
necessary for a period not to exceed 15 days, to attempt to resolve the Dispute.
(c) If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within 50
days of the first party's notice, or if the parties failed to meet within 15
days of the first party's notice, or if the Designated Officers failed to meet
within 35 days of the first party's notice, any party may commence any
litigation or other procedure allowed by law.
10.15 EXCLUSIVITY OF TAX SHARING AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of Article IV
hereof, the Tax Sharing Agreement will be the exclusive agreement among the
parties with respect to all matters pertaining to Taxes, including, without
limitation, indemnification with respect to matters pertaining to Taxes and
indemnification with respect to the qualification of the Distribution as a
tax-free distribution under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code.
