Closing of certain services (which may include making limited space and
equipment available) of a type provided by the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies
(other than services provided by the Business Units or personnel at the

be negotiated by the parties in good faith prior to the Closing, it
being understood that such terms and conditions shall be consistent with
existing agreements; and
(ix) Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco will enter into an agreement
pursuant to which (A)(1) Lockheed Xxxxxx will agree for a period
beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 1999, to lease
67,400 square feet of space in Building 1 at the Communications Systems
Business Unit at an "all in" annual cost of $36.25 per square foot,
(2) Newco will grant Lockheed Xxxxxx an option (exercisable on or prior
to December 31, 1998) to continue to lease all of the space contemplated
by the preceding clause (A)(1) for the period from January 1, 2000 until

Section 2.02 Exchange Consideration. The consideration to be paid to
Lockheed Xxxxxx and the Affiliated Transferors for the Transferred Assets
(the "Exchange Consideration") shall consist of the following:
(i) Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.03 and
Section 2.04, $479,835,000 in cash;
(ii) 6,980,000 shares of Newco Class A Stock; and
(iii) Newco's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in accordance
with this Agreement.
Section 2.03 Adjustment of Exchange Consideration.
(a) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Lockheed
Xxxxxx shall, in good faith and after consultation with the Individual
Purchasers, prepare an estimate of the Net Tangible Assets of the Business as
of March 30 (if the Closing shall occur in April 1997) or April 27 (if the
Closing shall occur in May 1997) (such date being the date on which Lockheed
Xxxxxx closes its accounting books and records for the respective month and
referred to as the "Effective Date"; and such estimate being the "Estimated
Final Net Tangible Asset Amount") and shall provide a copy of its calculation
of the Estimated Final Net Tangible Asset Amount to Newco and the Purchasers.
(b) Promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 60
days after the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall, at its expense, with the
assistance of Newco prepare and submit to Newco an audited combined statement
of net tangible assets setting forth, in reasonable detail, Lockheed Xxxxxx'x
calculation of the Net Tangible Assets of the Business as of the close of
business on the Effective Date (the "Proposed Final Net Tangible Asset
Amount") together with an opinion of Ernst & Young LLP stating that such
audited combined statement of Net Tangible Assets presents fairly, in all
material respects, the Net Tangible Assets of the Business as of the close of
business on the Effective Date in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. In the event Newco disputes the correctness of the Proposed Final
Net Tangible Asset Amount, Newco shall notify Lockheed Xxxxxx of its
objections within 45 days after receipt of Lockheed Xxxxxx'x calculation of
the Proposed Final Net Tangible Asset Amount and shall set forth, in writing
and reasonable detail, the reasons for Newco's objections. If Newco fails to
deliver such notice of objections within such time, Newco shall be deemed to
have accepted Lockheed Xxxxxx'x calculation. Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco shall
endeavor in good faith to resolve any disputed items within 20 days after
Lockheed Xxxxxx'x receipt of Newco's notice of objections. If they are
unable to do so, Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco shall select a nationally known
independent accounting firm (other than Ernst & Young LLP or Coopers &
Xxxxxxx L.L.P.) to resolve the dispute (in a manner consistent with Section
2.03(c) and with any items not in dispute), and the determination of such
firm in respect of the correctness of each item remaining in dispute shall be
conclusive and binding on Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco. The Net Tangible Assets
of the Business as of the close of business on the Effective Date as finally
determined pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (whether by failure of Newco to
deliver notice of objection, by agreement of Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco or by
determination of the accountants selected as set forth above) is referred to
herein as the "Final Net Tangible Asset Amount."
(c) The Estimated Final Net Tangible Asset Amount, the Proposed Final
Net Tangible Asset Amount and the Final Net Tangible Asset Amount shall be
determined in accordance with the accounting principles, policies, practices
and methods utilized in the preparation of the December Statement, as
disclosed in the notes to the December Statement, except as otherwise set
forth in Attachment VI.
(d) If the Final Net Tangible Asset Amount is greater than the
Estimated Final Net Tangible Asset Amount, the difference shall be paid to
Lockheed Xxxxxx by Newco with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the
date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the per annum interest rate
announced from time to time by Bank of America National Trust and Savings
Association as its reference rate in effect. If the Final Net Tangible Asset
Amount is less than the Estimated Final Net Tangible Asset Amount, the
difference shall be paid to Newco by Lockheed Xxxxxx with interest thereon
from the Closing Date to the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the
per annum interest rate announced from time to time by Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association as its reference rate in effect. Such
payment shall be made in immediately available funds not later than five
Business Days after the determination of the Final Net Tangible Asset Amount
by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the party
entitled to receive the payment; provided, however, if Newco is prohibited
from making such payment by the financing arrangements of Newco in effect as
of the Closing Date, then, in lieu of making any payment in excess of the sum
of (i) the difference between $479,835,000 and the amount of the payment
actually made pursuant to Section 2.04(i) and (ii) $5,000,000 by wire
transfer in immediately available funds, Newco may deliver to Lockheed Xxxxxx
in satisfaction of its obligation in excess of such sum a subordinated note
the principal amount of which shall equal such excess and providing for
repayment thereof in eight consecutive equal quarterly payments of principal
together with interest thereon, with an interest rate and such other terms
and conditions that reflect the financial condition of Newco and would be
available to Newco for similar subordinated debt on the date the subordinated
note is delivered to Lockheed Xxxxxx by Newco, which subordinated note is to
be negotiated by the parties in good faith in the event such subordinated
note is required to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) Lockheed Xxxxxx shall make available and shall cause Ernst & Young
LLP to make available, in accordance with reasonable and customary practices
and professional standards and subject to such reasonable conditions as Ernst
& Young LLP shall impose, the books, records, documents and work papers
underlying the preparation and audit of the December Statement and the
calculation of the Proposed Final Net Tangible Asset Amount. Newco and the
Purchasers shall make available and shall cause Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. to
make available, in accordance with reasonable and customary practices and
professional standards and subject to such reasonable conditions as Coopers &
Xxxxxxx L.L.P. shall impose, the books, records, documents and work papers
created or prepared by or for Newco in connection with the review of the
Proposed Final Net Tangible Asset Amount and the other matters contemplated
by Section 2.03(b).
(f) The fees and expenses, if any, of the accounting firm selected to
resolve any disputes between Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco in accordance with
Section 2.03(b) shall be paid one-half by Lockheed Xxxxxx and one-half by
Newco.
Section 2.04 Closing. The closing (the "Closing") of the Contemplated
Transactions shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx,
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx on April 25, 1997, provided,
however, that if all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article XII
have not been satisfied (or waived) as of that date and if closing on that
date therefore would be impractical, the Closing shall take place on the
fifth Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (by the party
entitled to waive the condition) of all conditions to the Closing set forth
in Article XII, or at such other time and place as the parties to this
Agreement may agree. The Closing will occur at 9:00 a.m. on the Closing
Date. At the Closing, among other things:
(i) Newco shall pay and deliver to Lockheed Xxxxxx, for its own
account and as agent for the Affiliated Transferors, $479,835,000 (minus
the difference between the Estimated Final Net Tangible Asset Amount and
$269,118,000 in the event the Estimated Final Net Tangible Asset Amount
is less than $269,118,000) in immediately available funds by wire
transfer to an account designated by Lockheed Xxxxxx (which account
shall be designated by Lockheed Xxxxxx by written notice to Newco at
least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or such shorter
notice as Newco shall agree to accept);
(ii) Newco shall issue to Lockheed Xxxxxx, for its own account and
as agent for the Affiliated Transferors, 6,980,000 shares of Newco Class
A Stock;
(iii) Newco shall issue to Xxxxxx 10,020,000 shares of Newco Class A
Stock in exchange for Xxxxxx paying and delivering to Newco $64,835,000
in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated
by Newco (which account shall be designated by Newco by written notice
to Xxxxxx at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or such
shorter notice as Xxxxxx shall agree to accept);
(iv) Newco shall issue to Xxxxx 1,500,000 shares of Newco Class B
Stock in exchange for Xxxxx paying and delivering to Newco $7,500,000 in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by
Newco (which account shall be designated by Newco by written notice to
Xxxxx at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or such
shorter notice as Xxxxx shall agree to accept); and
(v) Newco shall issue to XxXxxxx 1,500,000 shares of Newco Class B
Stock in exchange for XxXxxxx paying and delivering to Newco $7,500,000
in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated
by Newco (which account shall be designated by Newco by written notice
to XxXxxxx at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or such
shorter notice as XxXxxxx shall agree to accept).
Section 2.05 Cash True-Up. Within fifteen Business Days after the
Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall prepare and deliver to Newco a schedule
setting forth, on a daily basis, the cash generated by the Business from
12:01 a.m. on the first day following the Effective Date (after subtracting
any cash investments made by any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies in or for
the benefit of the Business after the Effective Date and the amount of any
checks drawn on the accounts of any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies prior to
Closing Date but not yet debited from such accounts as of the close of
business on the day prior to the Closing Date). Within five Business Days of
receipt of the foregoing schedule, Newco shall make payment to Lockheed
Xxxxxx if the schedule shows a net cash usage by the Business during the
period referenced in the preceding sentence and Lockheed Xxxxxx shall make
payment to Newco if the schedule shows net cash generation during such period
in an amount equal to such net cash usage or net cash generation, as the case
may be. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall give Newco reasonable access to its books and
records for the purpose of confirming the calculations of Lockheed Xxxxxx
pursuant to this Section 2.05. Any payment made hereunder shall be made in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated in
writing by the party entitled to receive the payment.

Material Adverse Effect on the Business;
(viii) settle any lawsuit or claim if such settlement imposes a
material continuing non-monetary obligation on the Business or any of
the Transferred Assets;
(ix) except in respect of the Individual Purchasers, grant any new

Section 7.02 Access to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) Except as may be necessary to comply with any Applicable Laws
(including, without limitation, any requirements with respect to security
clearances) and subject to any applicable privileges (including, without
limitation, the attorney-client privilege), from the date of this Agreement
until the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx will (a) give the Purchasers and
their Representatives reasonable access to the records of the Lockheed Xxxxxx
Companies relating to the Business during normal business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice, (b) give the Purchasers and their Representatives
reasonable access to any facilities the possession of which will be
transferred to Newco at Closing during normal business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice for the purpose of Purchasers' conduct of a Phase I
Environmental Audit of such facilities or documentary diligence, (c) furnish
to the Purchasers and their Representatives such financial and operating data
and other information relating to the Business as the Purchasers may
reasonably request and (d) instruct the employees and Representatives of the
Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies to cooperate with the Purchasers in their
investigation of the Business. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, subject to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this
Section 7.02(a), (i) Lockheed Xxxxxx shall use reasonable commercial efforts
to enable the Purchasers and the Purchasers' Representatives to conduct, at
the Purchasers' own expense, business and financial reviews, investigations
and studies as to the operation of the various Business Units, including any
tax, operating or other efficiencies that may be achieved and (ii) from the
date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall give the
Purchasers and their Representatives access to information relating to the
Business of the type, and with the same level of detail, as in the ordinary
course of business is made available to the presidents or chief financial
officers of the Business Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Purchasers shall not have access to personnel records of any of the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Companies relating to individual performance or evaluation records,
medical histories or other information which in Lockheed Xxxxxx'x good faith
opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject any of the
Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies to risk of liability.
(b) For a period of three years after the Closing Date, the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Companies will treat and hold as such, any confidential information
concerning the operations or affairs of the Business. In the event any of
the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies is requested or required (by oral or written
request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or by Applicable Law)
to disclose any such confidential information, then Lockheed Xxxxxx will
notify Newco promptly of the request or requirement so that Newco, at its
expense, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with
this Section 7.02(b). If, in the absence of a protective order or receipt of
a waiver hereunder, any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies is, on the advice of
counsel, compelled to disclose such confidential information the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Company may so disclose the confidential information, provided that
the Lockheed Xxxxxx Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such
confidential information. The provisions of this Section 7.02(b) will not be
deemed to prohibit the disclosure of confidential information concerning the
operations or affairs of the Business by any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies
to the extent reasonably required (i) to prepare or complete any required tax
returns or financial statements, (ii) in connection with audits or other
proceedings by or on behalf of a Governmental Authority, (iii) in connection
with any insurance or benefits claims, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply
with any Applicable Laws, (v) to provide services to Newco in accordance with
the Interim Services Agreement, or (vi) in connection with any other similar
administrative functions in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.02(b) shall not apply to
information that (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result
of a disclosure by any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies, (ii) is or becomes
available to a Lockheed Xxxxxx Company on a non-confidential basis from a
source that, to Lockheed Xxxxxx'x knowledge, is not prohibited from
disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation,
or (iii) is or has been independently developed by a Lockheed Xxxxxx Company
(other than solely for the Business or by one of the Business Units). This
Section 7.02(b) shall not apply to the disclosure of confidential information
concerning the Instrumentation Recorder Product Line of Advanced Recorders in
connection with or after the sale thereof to a purchaser or potential
purchaser (other than Newco); provided, however, that such disclosure may
only be made pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing reasonable
terms and conditions.
Section 7.03 Non-Solicitation of Offers. From the date of this
Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this
Agreement, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall not, and Lockheed Xxxxxx shall not authorize
or permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly (through
Affiliates or otherwise), (i) solicit, initiate or take any action knowingly
to facilitate the submission of inquiries, proposals or offers from any
Person (other than Newco) relating to any acquisition or purchase of all or a
substantial part of the Business, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions (whether by asset or stock sale, business combination
transaction or otherwise), (collectively, the "Alternative Transaction
Proposals"), or (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding any of the foregoing, or furnish to any other Person
any information with respect to the Business (other than in the ordinary
course of operating the Business and in connection with the possible sale of
the Instrumentation Recorder Product Line of Advanced Recorders) or otherwise
cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or
encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the
foregoing. Except to the extent that it is prohibited from doing so by
contractual agreements that were in existence as of January 31, 1997 (of
which there are two), if Lockheed Xxxxxx, directly or indirectly, receives an
Alternative Transaction Proposal, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall promptly inform the
Purchasers of the terms and conditions of the Alternative Transaction
Proposal and the identity of the Person making it.
Section 7.04 Non-Solicitation of Employees. From and after the date
of this Agreement until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Lockheed
Xxxxxx shall not, without prior written approval of Newco, directly or
indirectly (through Affiliates or otherwise), knowingly solicit any
individual (other than individuals identified in Attachment XI) who at that
time is an employee of the Business to terminate his or her relationship with
the Business and will not knowingly hire any individual inadvertently
solicited; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i)
individuals solicited or hired as a result of the use of an independent
employment agency (so long as the agency was not directed to solicit such
individual and Lockheed Xxxxxx, promptly following execution of this
Agreement, advises the Vice President for Human Resources of each Operating
Sector of Lockheed Xxxxxx of the provisions of this Section 7.04), and (ii)
individuals solicited or hired as a result of the use of a general
solicitation (such as an advertisement) not specifically directed to
employees of the Business.
Section 7.05 Change of Lockbox Accounts. Immediately after the
Closing, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall take such steps as Newco may reasonably
request to cause Newco to be substituted as the sole party having control
over any lockbox or similar bank account maintained exclusively by the
Business Units to which customers of the Business directly make payments in
respect of the Business or to direct the bank at which any such lockbox or
similar account is maintained to transfer any payments made thereto to an
account established by Newco.
Section 7.06 Access to Information; Cooperation After Closing. On and
after the Closing Date and subject to any applicable privileges (including,
without limitation, the attorney-client privilege), Lockheed Xxxxxx shall,
and shall cause each of the other Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies to, at their
expense (i) afford Newco and its Representatives reasonable access upon
reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, to all employees,
offices, properties, agreements, records, books and affairs of the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Companies to the extent relating to the Business, (ii) provide copies
of such information concerning the Business as Newco may reasonably request
for any proper purpose, including, without limitation, in connection with any
public or private offering of securities by Newco or the preparation of any
financial statements or in connection with any judicial, quasi judicial,
administrative, or arbitration proceeding or audit (provided, however, that
except as otherwise provided in writing signed by an officer of Lockheed
Xxxxxx specifically approving the use of such information, the specific
purpose for which such information is to be used therein and the specific
representations and warranties at issue, Lockheed Xxxxxx makes no
representations or warranties to the Purchasers, Newco or any other Person in
respect of any such information) and (iii) cooperate fully with Newco for
any proper purpose, including, without limitation, in the defense or pursuit
of any Transferred Asset, Assumed Liability or any claim or action that
relates to occurrences involving the Business prior to the Closing Date.
Section 7.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. Except as otherwise
provided in Exhibit G, on and after the date of this Agreement and until the
Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall not take or fail to take any action if
such action or inaction, as the case may be, would adversely affect the
applicability of any insurance (including reinsurance) in effect on the date
of this Agreement that covers all or any part of the assets that would
constitute Transferred Assets if owned, held or used by any of the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Companies on the Closing Date, the Business or the Transferred
Employees. Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit G or as may otherwise be
agreed in writing by the parties, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall not have any
obligation to maintain the effectiveness of any such insurance policy after
the Closing Date or to make any monetary payment in connection with any such
policy.
Section 7.08 Novation of Government Contracts. As soon as is
reasonably practicable following the Closing, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall, in
accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42, Section 42.12,
submit in writing to each Responsible Contracting Officer (as such term is
defined in Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42, Section 42.102(a)), a
request for the U.S. Government to (i) recognize Newco as the successor in
interest to all of the Government Contracts being sold, assigned, transferred
and conveyed to Newco in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) enter into a
novation agreement (the "Novation Agreement") substantially in the form
contemplated by such regulations. Lockheed Xxxxxx 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.
Section 7.09 Financial Statements. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall, at Lockheed
Xxxxxx'x expense, furnish and shall cause its independent accountants for the
Communications Systems Business Unit to audit and furnish their opinion
thereon not later than March 28, 1997, financial statements for such Business
Unit for the years ended December 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994 prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the
periods covered thereby in a form meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X
of the Securities Act, and, consistent with appropriate terms and conditions
and upon receipt of appropriate management representation letters, to furnish
the consent of such independent accountants to the inclusion of their report
on such financial statements to the extent the financial statements are
required to be included in any registration statement of Newco under the
Securities Act and any amendments thereto or in any offering memoranda in
connection with an offering of securities exempt from registration under the
Securities Act, and to provide comfort letters in customary form in
connection therewith; and for the purposes of assisting Newco with any such
registration statement and subsequent reporting requirements under the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, Lockheed Xxxxxx will deliver to Newco
unaudited income statements and balance sheets of the Communications Systems
Business Unit for each 1996 calendar quarter and each 1997 calendar quarter
completed prior to or on the Closing Date. The financial statements and
schedules described in the preceding sentence for the first quarter of 1997
and 1996, respectively, will be provided by May 10, 1997. To the extent
required, each subsequent 1997 quarter's financial statements and schedules
(together with the corresponding 1996 quarter's financial statements) shall
be delivered to Newco by Lockheed Xxxxxx within 40 days after the last day of
such quarter. The parties acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence
in the performance of this Section 7.09 and Lockheed Xxxxxx shall provide
Newco unaudited financial information with respect to the Communications
Systems Business Unit for the years 1993 and 1992 meeting the requirements of
Item 301 of Regulation S-K (Selected Financial Data) of the Securities Act by
April 4, 1997. Lockheed Xxxxxx acknowledges that Newco's independent
accountants will be performing the audit of the combined financial statements
of the Business for the year ended December 31, 1996 (and, if required by
applicable SEC regulations, for the period from January 1, 1997 to the
Closing Date), and the combined financial statements of the Wideband Systems
Business Unit and the Products Group of the Business for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994. Lockheed Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate and cause its independent
accountants to cooperate with Newco's independent accountants, and provide
such reasonable representation letters of Lockheed Xxxxxx'x management to
Newco's independent accountants in a form appropriate to enable such
accountants to issue an opinion on the financial statements they are auditing
in accordance with professional standards.

COVENANTS OF NEWCO AND THE PURCHASERS
Section 8.01 Confidentiality.
(a) Newco and the Purchasers agree that all information provided or
otherwise made available in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, to
any of the Purchasers, Newco or their Representatives will be treated as if
provided, in the case of Newco and Xxxxxx, under the Xxxxxx Confidentiality
Agreement (whether or not the Xxxxxx Confidentiality Agreement is in effect
or has been terminated) or, in the case of the Individual Purchasers, under
paragraph 7 of the Memorandum (whether or not the Memorandum is in effect or
has been terminated). In addition, until consummation of the Closing, Newco
agrees to be bound by the terms of the Xxxxxx Confidentiality Agreement as if
Newco were Xxxxxx thereunder (whether or not the Xxxxxx Confidentiality
Agreement is in effect or has been terminated). Upon consummation of the
Closing, the Xxxxxx Confidentiality Agreement and paragraph 7 of the
Memorandum shall cease to apply.
(b) For a period of three years after the Closing Date, the Purchasers,
Newco and each of their Affiliates will treat and hold as such, any

of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies (other than the Business). In the event
that any of the Purchasers, Newco or any of their Affiliates is requested or
required (by oral or written request for information or documents in any
legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or
similar process or by Applicable Law) to disclose any such confidential
information, then they will notify Lockheed Xxxxxx promptly of the request or
requirement so that Lockheed Xxxxxx, at its expense, may seek an appropriate
protective order or waive compliance with this Section 8.01(b). If, in the
absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the
Purchasers, Newco or any of their Affiliates is, on the advice of counsel,
compelled to disclose such confidential information, they may so disclose the
confidential information, provided that they use reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such
confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of
this Section 8.01(b) shall not apply to information that (i) is or becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by any of the
Purchasers, Newco or any of their Affiliates, (ii) is or becomes available to
any of the Purchasers, Newco or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential
basis from a source that, to the Purchasers', Newco's or any of their
Affiliates' knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by
a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (iii) is or has been
independently developed by any of the Purchasers, Newco or any of their
Affiliates.
(c) Nothing in this Section 8.01 shall abrogate or otherwise limit the
fiduciary duties of, and any other duties or restrictions imposed by
Applicable Law on, the Individual Purchasers by virtue of their service as a
director, officer or employee of any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies or
their predecessors.
Section 8.02 Provision and Preservation of and Access to Certain

(b) The Individual Purchasers acknowledge that effective as of February
3, 1997, Lockheed Xxxxxx turned over day-to-day management of the Business
Units to the Individual Purchasers. From the date of this Agreement until
the Closing Date, the Individual Purchasers agree to take reasonable steps to
ensure that the Business Units conduct their business and operations in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Individual Purchasers shall not have liability to any Person
for the breach of this Section 8.02(b), it being understood that the effects
of a breach of this Section 8.02(b) shall be limited to the effects set forth
in Section 13.04(d) and Section 14.02.
(c) On and after the Closing Date, Newco shall preserve all books and
records of the Business for a period of five years commencing on the Closing
Date (or in the case of books and records relating to tax, employment and
employee benefits matters, until such time as Lockheed Xxxxxx notifies Newco
in writing that all statutes of limitations to which such records relate have
expired), and thereafter, not to destroy or dispose of such records without
giving notice to Lockheed Xxxxxx of such pending disposal and offering
Lockheed Xxxxxx the right to copy such records at its expense. In the event
Lockheed Xxxxxx has not copied such materials within 90 days following the
receipt of notice from Newco, Newco may proceed to destroy or dispose of such
materials without any liability. From and after the Closing Date and subject
to any applicable privileges (including, without limitation, the attorney-
client privilege), Newco shall at its expense (i) afford Lockheed Xxxxxx and
its Representatives reasonable access upon reasonable prior notice during
normal business hours, to all employees, offices, properties, agreements,
records, books and affairs of Newco, and provide copies of such information
concerning the Business as Lockheed Xxxxxx may reasonably request for any
proper purpose, including, without limitation, in connection with the
preparation of any tax returns or financial statements or in connection with
any judicial, quasi judicial, administrative, tax, audit or arbitration
proceeding and in connection with the preparation of any financial statements
or reports in accordance with past practices and procedures and (ii)
cooperate fully with Lockheed Xxxxxx for any proper purpose, including,
without limitation, the defense of or pursuit of any Excluded Liability,
Excluded Asset or any claim or action that relates to an Excluded Liability
or Excluded Asset.
Section 8.03 Insurance; Financial Support Arrangements.
(a) Newco and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that as of the
Closing Date, neither Newco, the Business or any of the Business Units, any
property owned or leased by any of the foregoing nor any of the directors,
officers, employees (including, without limitation, the Transferred
Employees) or agents of any of the foregoing will be insured under any
insurance policies maintained by Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates,
except (i) in the case of certain policies, to the extent that a claim has
been reported as of the Closing Date, (ii) in the case of a policy that is an
occurrence policy, to the extent the accident, event or occurrence that
results in an insurable loss occurs prior to the Closing Date and has been,
is or will be reported or noticed to the respective carrier by Newco or any
of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies in accordance with the requirements of such
policies (which claims Lockheed Xxxxxx shall, at Newco's cost and expense,
pursue diligently on Newco's behalf and the net proceeds of which claims
shall be remitted promptly to Newco upon receipt thereof), and (iii) as
otherwise provided in Exhibit G or agreed to in writing by the parties.
Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit G or as otherwise may be agreed to in
writing by the parties, from and after the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx
shall have no obligation of any kind to maintain any form of insurance
covering all or any part of the Transferred Assets, the Business or the
Transferred Employees.
(b) Newco agrees to reimburse Lockheed Xxxxxx within 30 days of receipt
of an invoice for the items set forth below.
(i) The allocated cost to the Business of premiums, costs and
expenses (excluding Lockheed Xxxxxx risk management department costs and
expenses), including general and administrative charges, for all periods
prior to the Closing Date in respect of any and all insurance policies
that cover or covered the Business, whether or not a claim has been made
or ever will be made by the Business or Newco under such policies. The
"allocated cost" to the Business shall be determined by Lockheed Xxxxxx
in a manner consistent with prior practices and in conjunction with the
Cost Disclosure Statement filed by Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its
Affiliates and their predecessors with the U.S. Government on the
portion of the period covered by the respective policies that ends prior
to the Closing Date, except that with respect to policies for which no
premium rebate or refund is available as a result of the consummation of
the Contemplated Transactions, the "allocated cost" to the Business
shall be based on the entire policy period. Newco and the Purchasers
understand that Lockheed Xxxxxx is in the process of reviewing with the
U.S. Government the methodology used by Lockheed Xxxxxx and its
Affiliates to allocate premiums, costs, expenses and reserves to various
businesses and divisions, including the Business Units, and acknowledge
that any changes to such allocation methodology may result in
retroactive adjustments to the allocated cost to the Business of
premiums, costs and expenses. In the event of any such change to the
allocation methodology, Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco agree to adjust the
allocated costs to the Business (either through a special charge or
credit to Newco under this Section 8.03(b)(i)) as appropriate.
(ii) Any self insurance, retention, deductible, retrospective
premium, cash payment for reserves calculated or charged on an incurred
loss basis and similar items, including but not limited to associated
administrative expenses and allocated loss adjustment or similar
expenses (collectively, "Insurance Liabilities") allocated to the
Business by Lockheed Xxxxxx on a basis consistent with past practices
resulting from or arising under any and all current or former insurance
policies maintained by Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates to the
extent that such Insurance Liabilities relate to or arise out of the
Business or any activities of Newco.
Newco agrees that, to the extent any of the insurers under the insurance
policies, in accordance with the terms of the insurance policies, requests or
requires collateral, deposits or other security to be provided with respect
to claims made against such insurance policies relating to or arising from
the Business, Newco will provide the collateral, deposits or other security
or, upon request of Lockheed Xxxxxx, xxxx replace any collateral, deposits or
other security provided by Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates.
(c) Newco agrees that, for a period of at least six years commencing on
the Closing Date, to the extent it maintains insurance coverage, Newco will
(at Lockheed Xxxxxx'x cost to the extent of any additional cost therefor,
provided that, in the event there will be such a cost, Newco will give
Lockheed Xxxxxx a reasonable period of time to determine whether it desires
to incur such cost before Newco commits to such coverage with respect to
Lockheed Xxxxxx) include Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates as an additional
insured/loss payee on any policies in respect of which Lockheed Xxxxxx or its
Affiliates has or may have an insurable interest with respect to the
Business, the Transferred Assets, any of the Assumed Liabilities or any
facilities the possession of which will be transferred to Newco at the
Closing.
(d) Newco and the Purchasers agree that, not later than September 30,
1997, and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco will
in good faith seek to release Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates from all
obligations under all Financial Support Arrangements maintained by Lockheed
Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Business.
(e) Lockheed Xxxxxx will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause
each Financial Support Arrangement to remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms until the earliest of (i) the date (the "Release
Date") on which Newco ensures that Lockheed and its Affiliates are released
from all obligations of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates under such
Financial Support Arrangement in accordance with Section 8.03(d), (ii)
September 30, 1997 and (iii) the date such Financial Support Arrangement
terminates in accordance with its terms. After the Closing Date and prior to
the Release Date for any such Financial Support Arrangement, Lockheed Xxxxxx
will not waive any requirements of or agree to amend such Financial Support
Arrangement without the prior written consent of Newco.
(f) If, after the Closing Date, (i) any amounts are drawn on or paid
under any Financial Support Arrangement where Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its
Affiliates is obligated to reimburse the Person making such payment or (ii)
Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates pays any amounts under, or any fees,
costs or expenses relating to, any Financial Support Arrangement, Newco shall
pay Lockheed Xxxxxx such amounts promptly after receipt from Lockheed Xxxxxx
of notice thereof accompanied by written evidence of the underlying payment
obligation.
(g) In the event that Newco fails to ensure that Lockheed Xxxxxx and
its Affiliates are released from all obligations under the Financial Support
Arrangements not later than September 30, 1997, Newco shall either (i)
promptly deposit with Lockheed Xxxxxx xxxx in an amount equal to the
aggregate principal or stated amount, as may be applicable, of the Financial
Support Arrangements not so released or (ii) provide back-up letters of
credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lockheed Xxxxxx with
respect to such Financial Support Arrangements; provided that if Newco has
used reasonable commercial efforts to structure its financing arrangements to
permit it to comply with the foregoing obligations, Newco shall not be
required to take any action under this Section 8.03(g) that it is prohibited
from taking under the terms of any financing agreements of Newco in effect on
the Closing Date. Any cash deposited with Lockheed Xxxxxx in accordance with
clause (i) shall be held by Lockheed Xxxxxx in a segregated interest-bearing
account and shall be used by Lockheed Xxxxxx solely to satisfy its payment
obligations in respect of such Financial Support Arrangements, and the unused
portion of any cash (including interest) relating to a Financial Support
Arrangement shall be returned to Newco promptly after the occurrence of the
Release Date with respect to, or any other termination of, the Financial
Support Arrangement.
(h) In the event that Newco fails to ensure that Lockheed Xxxxxx and
its Affiliates are released from all obligations of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its
Affiliates under the Disclosed Financial Support Arrangements not later than
September 30, 1997, whether as a result of the proviso to the first sentence
of Section 8.03(g) or otherwise, and to the extent that Newco has not
provided the deposits or letters of credit contemplated by the first sentence
of Section 8.03(g), on October 1, 1997 and on the first day of each calendar
quarter thereafter Newco agrees to pay to Lockheed Xxxxxx an amount equal to
(i) .3125% of the maximum aggregate potential liability of Lockheed Xxxxxx
and its Affiliates under such Disclosed Financial Support Arrangements in
the case of performance-related Disclosed Financial Support Arrangements or
(ii) .625% of the maximum aggregate potential liability of Lockheed Xxxxxx
and its Affiliates under such Disclosed Financial Support Arrangements in the
case of all other Disclosed Financial Support Arrangements (other than
Disclosed Financial Support Arrangements that constitute non-monetary
performance guarantees or similar non-monetary obligations) that have not
been released or otherwise secured by the deposits or letters of credit
contemplated by the first sentence of Section 8.03(g) (determined as of the
last day of the preceding calendar quarter). Any such payment by Newco shall
be due and payable on October 1, 1997 or on the first day of the applicable
calendar month thereafter, and shall be nonrefundable regardless of any
subsequent reduction of the liability of Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its
Affiliates thereunder.
Section 8.04 Non-Solicitation of Employees. From and after the date
of this Agreement until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Newco
shall not, without prior written approval of Lockheed Xxxxxx, directly or
indirectly (through Affiliates or otherwise), knowingly solicit any
individual (other than individuals identified in Attachment XI) who at that
time is an employee of any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies (other than a
Transferred Employee) to terminate his or her relationship with the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Companies and will not knowingly hire any individual inadvertently
solicited; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to
individuals solicited or hired as a result of the use of an independent
employment agency (so long as the agency was not directed to solicit such
individual and Newco advises its Manager of Human Resources of the provisions
of this Section 8.04) or solicited or hired as a result of the use of a
general solicitation (such as an advertisement) not specifically directed to
employees of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies.
Section 8.05 Financing. Newco shall use reasonable commercial efforts
to obtain (on or prior to the Closing Date) sufficient funds on commercially
available terms acceptable to Newco in its sole discretion (i) to pay the
cash portion of the Exchange Consideration and (ii) to obtain adequate
working capital for the Business, provided that Newco shall not be considered
to be in breach of this Agreement if, notwithstanding its use of reasonable
commercial efforts as aforesaid, Newco does not have sufficient funds
available for such purposes on the Closing Date.
Section 8.06 Use of Certain Trademarks, etc. Newco acknowledges and
agrees that it is not obtaining any rights or licenses with respect to the
names "Lockheed Xxxxxx," "Lockheed," "Loral," "Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx" or any
derivative thereof, or to their logos or trade dress, or to any other
Intellectual Property not constituting a Transferred Asset or not licensed to
it under the License Agreements. As soon as practicable following the
Closing, but no later than 180 days after the Closing Date, Newco shall
remove and change signage, change and substitute promotional and advertising
material in whatever medium, change stationery and packaging and take all
such other steps as may be required or appropriate to cease use of all such
Intellectual Property not constituting a Transferred Asset or not licensed to
it under the License Agreements; provided, however, that nothing in this

COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
Section 9.01 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, each party shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to

things necessary or desirable under Applicable Laws to consummate the
Contemplated Transactions. Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco and the Purchasers shall
execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other
writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in
order to consummate or implement expeditiously the Contemplated Transactions.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, nothing
in this Section 9.01 shall require Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco or any of the
Purchasers to make any payments in order to obtain any consents or approvals
necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the
Contemplated Transactions.
Section 9.02 Certain Filings; Consents. Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco and
the Purchasers shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether
any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is
required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be
obtained from parties to any material Contracts, in connection with the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and (ii) subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, in taking such actions or making any such
filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking

Xxxxxx, Newco and the Purchasers shall consult with each other before issuing

U.S. Government as a customer with respect to this Agreement or the
Contemplated Transactions and, except as may be required by Applicable Law or
any listing agreement with any national or international securities exchange,
will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior
to such consultation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Agreement (except as set forth in Section 8.01) shall relieve Xxxxxx from any
of its obligations under the Xxxxxx Confidentiality Agreement, or relieve the
Individual Purchasers from any of their respective obligations under
paragraph 7 of the Memorandum, or terminate any of the restrictions imposed
upon any party by Section 8.01.
Section 9.04 Intellectual Property; License Agreements.
(a) In consideration of the grant described in Section 9.04(b),
Lockheed Xxxxxx shall grant to Newco, effective as of the Closing Date and
pursuant to a License Agreement, a fully paid-up, worldwide, perpetual, non-
exclusive license in respect of all Intellectual Property owned by Lockheed
Xxxxxx that is used or currently planned for use by the Business (but not
constituting Transferred Assets) on the Closing Date, for such uses and
currently planned uses by Newco and its Affiliates. Such license shall not
be transferable by Newco other than in connection with the sale or transfer
of all or a substantial portion (it being understood that the sale of a
Business Unit shall be deemed a substantial portion) of the Business by
Newco.
(b) In consideration of the grant described in Section 9.04(a), Newco
shall grant to the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies, effective as of the Closing
Date and pursuant to a License Agreement, a fully paid-up, world-wide,
perpetual, non-exclusive license in respect of all Intellectual Property
constituting Transferred Assets (i) that is used or currently planned for use
by the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies (other than the Business Units) on the
Closing Date, for such uses and currently planned uses by Lockheed Xxxxxx and
its Affiliates or (ii) used by Newco after the Closing Date in connection
with the manufacture of any products for sale to, or the provision of any
services to, any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies pursuant to any agreement
between Newco and any of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies that is breached by
Newco, for use by Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates in making or using such
products or providing such services (other than in the case of clause (ii),
the duration for which shall be an appropriate length of time to permit
completion of manufacture or services). The license granted pursuant to
clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall be effective as of the Closing
Date and the license granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence shall be effective as of the date that the agreement described
therein is breached by Newco. Such license shall not be transferable by
Lockheed Xxxxxx other than in connection with the sale or transfer of all or
a substantial portion of a business by Lockheed Xxxxxx.
(c) Newco acknowledges and agrees that it shall hold all Intellectual
Property constituting part of the Transferred Assets subject to any licenses
thereof granted by Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates prior to the Closing
Date.
(d) The transfer of Intellectual Property constituting Transferred
Assets to Newco shall not affect Lockheed Xxxxxx'x right to use, disclose or
otherwise freely deal with any know-how, trade secrets and other technical
information not constituting Transferred Assets that is resident on the
Closing Date at businesses of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies other than the
Business.
Section 9.05 HSR Act. The parties shall take all actions necessary or
appropriate to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable
waiting period under the HSR Act in respect of the Contemplated Transactions,
including, without limitation, complying as promptly as practicable with any
requests for additional information; provided that Newco shall not be
required to provide any undertakings or comply with any condition that, in
its good faith judgment, would materially and adversely diminish Newco's
rights under this Agreement or materially and adversely affect its business,
results or operations.
Section 9.06 Operation of Newco. From and after the date of this
Agreement through the Closing, Newco will not engage in or conduct any
activities other than activities that are necessary or appropriate in
connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.
Section 9.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. Notwith-standing any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 9.07 shall
constitute the parties' agreement regarding the allocation of insurance
proceeds with respect to claims for liabilities that arise under or relate to
Environmental Laws that are comprised, in whole or in part, of Environmental
Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities (the "Environmental Insurance
Claims"). Newco and the Purchasers acknowledge that Lockheed Xxxxxx shall
control the Environmental Insurance Claims and shall have the right to
compromise or settle any Environmental Insurance Claims. Lockheed Xxxxxx
will act in good faith and with reasonable prudence to maximize recovery with
respect to the Environmental Insurance Claims and will allocate any recovery
received with respect to such Environmental Insurance Claims, first, to the
costs it incurred to collect such recovery and all net tax costs related to
such recovery, and second, to reimburse any Governmental Authority, prime
contractor or subcontractor pursuant to a Government Contract.
With respect to any recovery remaining (the "Remaining Recovery"):
(i) if the recovery applies to liabilities that are Assumed
Liabilities and to liabilities that are not Assumed Liabilities, and the
recovery was not designated as arising from specific liabilities (e.g.,
a global settlement with an insurance carrier), Lockheed Xxxxxx will pay
Newco an amount equal to the Remaining Recovery multiplied by X
multiplied by (one minus Y); where X equals the total of the
Environmental Insurance Claims (estimated as of the date of recovery)
under said insurance policies divided by the total environmental and
other claims by Lockheed Xxxxxx under said insurance policies; and Y
equals Lockheed Xxxxxx'x past expenditures on said liabilities divided
by the total estimated expenditures made or to be made by Lockheed
Xxxxxx or Newco in respect of said liabilities (estimated as of the date
of recovery), or
(ii) if the recovery was designated as arising from a specific
liability that is an Assumed Liability, Lockheed Xxxxxx will pay Newco
the Remaining Recovery multiplied by (one minus Y).
Any obligations assumed in any such compromise or settlement of the
Environmental Insurance Claims will be apportioned between Lockheed Xxxxxx
and Newco in the same proportion as a recovery would be allocated pursuant to
this Section 9.07.
Section 9.08 Legal Privileges. Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco acknowledge
and agree that all attorney-client, work product and other legal privileges
that may exist with respect to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed
Liabilities, shall, from and after the Closing Date, be deemed joint
privileges of Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco. Both Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing Date to
preserve all such privileges and neither Lockheed Xxxxxx nor Newco shall
knowingly waive any such privilege without the prior written consent of the
other party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Section 9.09 Non-Compete. Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco and the Purchasers
covenant and agree that prior to the Closing Date they will discuss in good
faith the scope and nature of an appropriate non-competition agreement to
provide reasonable commercial protection to Newco for periods to be mutually
agreed upon of up to three years with respect to the material core businesses
of the Business while providing the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies the ability to
continue, without impediment, all of its existing businesses and currently
planned businesses (other than those conducted only through the Business
Units), to enter into businesses reasonably related to its exiting businesses
and currently planned businesses, to make acquisitions and to otherwise
provide third-party sourced products similar to those manufactured or sold by
the Business as part of larger systems manufactured or sold by the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Companies. The non-competition agreement also will provide reasonable
commercial protection to the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies on programs where
Newco performs substantial subcontract work for the Lockheed Xxxxxx
Companies, it being understood that this provision shall not prohibit Newco
from entering into subcontract agreements with other Persons on programs that
compete against the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies, provided that appropriate
safeguards (including, for example, "firewalls" and confidentiality
agreements) are implemented and in place to protect the proprietary and
confidential information of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies. For the purposes
of any such non-competition agreement, (i) the businesses operated and
managed by Lockheed Xxxxxx on behalf of the U.S. Government, including the
Department of Energy, shall not be included within the prohibitions, and (ii)
"currently planned" businesses of the Lockheed Xxxxxx Companies shall mean
those businesses that Lockheed Xxxxxx can demonstrate are affirmatively under
consideration as of the Closing Date.

Section 13.03 Procedures.
(a) If Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates or any of their
directors, officers, employees and agents, shall seek indemnification
pursuant to Section 13.02(a) or Section 13.02(c), or if Newco or any of its
Affiliates or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, shall
seek indemnification pursuant to Section 13.02(b), such Person seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall give written notice to the
party from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party")
promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after the Indemnified Party (or,
if the Indemnified Party is a corporation, any officer of the Indemnified
Party) becomes aware of the facts giving rise to such claim for
indemnification (an "Indemnified Claim") specifying in reasonable detail the
factual basis of the Indemnified Claim, stating the amount of the Damages, if
known, the method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the
provision of the Transaction Documents in respect of which such Indemnified
Claim arises. The failure of an Indemnified Party to provide notice pursuant
to this Section 13.03 shall not constitute a waiver of that party's claims to
indemnification pursuant to Section 13.02 in the absence of, and then only to
the extent of, material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. If the
Indemnified Claim arises from the assertion of any claim, or the commencement
of any suit, action, proceeding or Remedial Action brought by a Person that
is not a party hereto (a "Third Party Claim")any such notice to the
Indemnifying Party shall be accompanied by a copy of any papers theretofore
served on the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim.
With respect to any Third Party Claim asserted or brought prior to the
Closing Date, notice of such Third Party Claim shall be deemed to have been
delivered on the Closing Date.
(b) (i) Upon receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim from an
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 13.03(a), the Indemnifying Party
will, subject to the other provisions of this Section 13.03(b), assume
the defense and control of such Third Party Claim but shall allow the
Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense
thereof with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying
Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized
standing and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party;
shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof; and
shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution
thereof. In conducting the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party
shall at all times act as if all Damages relating to such Third Party
Claim were for its own account and shall act in good faith and with
reasonable prudence to minimize Damages therefrom. The Indemnified
Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, and agents to, cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim defended by
the Indemnifying Party.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall give prompt and continuing notice
to the other Indemnified Party of any Third Party Claims that the
Indemnifying Party reasonably believes may: (1) result in the assertion
of criminal liability on the part of the Indemnified Party or any of its
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents; (2) adversely
affect the ability of the Indemnified Party to do business in any
jurisdiction or in any manner or with any customer; or (3) materially
affect the reputation of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees or agents.
(iii) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.03(b)(iv) and Section
13.03(b)(v), the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a
settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third
Party Claims, without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided,
that the Indemnifying Party shall (1) pay or cause to be paid all
amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the
effectiveness thereof; (2) shall not encumber any of the assets of any
Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would
apply to such Indemnified Party or to the conduct of that party's
business; and (3) shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement or
other resolution, a complete release of each Indemnified Party. Except
for the foregoing, no settlement or entry of judgment in respect of any
Third Party Claim shall be consented to by any Indemnifying Party
without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(iv) An Indemnified Party may elect to share the defense of a Third
Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying
Party pursuant to Section 13.03(b)(ii). In that event, the Indemnified
Party will so notify the Indemnifying Party in writing. Thereafter, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall participate on an
equal basis in the defense, management and control of any such claim.
The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall select mutually
satisfactory counsel, contractors and consultants to conduct the defense
or settlement thereof (the costs and expenses of which shall be shared
equally by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party), and shall
at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco shall manage all Remedial Actions
conducted with respect to facilities which constitute Transferred Assets
or at which Newco will undertake operations pursuant to this Agreement,
provided that Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Representatives shall have the
right, consistent with Newco's right to manage such Remedial Actions as
aforesaid, to participate fully in all decisions regarding any Remedial
Action, including reasonable access to sites where any Remedial Action
is being conducted, reasonable access to all documents, correspondence,
data, reports or information regarding the Remedial Action, reasonable
access to employees and consultants of Newco with knowledge of relevant
facts about the Remedial Action and the right to attend all meetings and
participate in any telephone or other conferences with any government
agency or third party regarding the Remedial Action.
(v) In the case of the indemnification contemplated by clauses
(iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 13.02(b), in the event that either the
Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party desires to settle the
matters referenced therein or consent to the entry of any judgment
arising thereunder and the other party does not wish to consent to such
settlement, the other party shall have no obligation to consent to the
settlement provided that it agrees in writing to pay and be responsible
for 100% of any Damages thereafter incurred; provided that no
Indemnified Party shall be required to consent to any settlement or
agree to be responsible for the payment of Damages thereafter incurred
with respect to any matter the settlement of which would require the
consent of such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 13.03(b)(iii).
The obligation of the party that rejects any proposed settlement offer
or entry of any such judgment to pay and be responsible for 100% of any
Damages thereafter incurred in accordance with this Section 13.03(b)(v)
shall be conditioned upon and subject to the payment, within five
Business Days of the date such party provides the written agreement
contemplated by the preceding sentence, of an amount, in immediately
available funds, equal to the portion of the total settlement that would
have been payable by the party desiring to settle the matter or consent
to the entry of any such judgment according to the percentage sharing
arrangement contemplated by Section 13.04(b)(ii) or Section
13.04(b)(iii), as the case may be. Thereafter, the party that rejects
the proposed settlement shall be solely responsible for the defense of
the matter that is the subject of the proposed settlement.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are unable to
agree with respect to a procedural matter arising under Section 13.03(b)(iv),
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within 10 days after
notice of disagreement given by either party, agree upon a third-party
referee ("Referee"), who shall be an attorney and who shall have the
authority to review and resolve the disputed matter. The parties shall
present their differences in writing (each party simultaneously providing to
the other a copy of all documents submitted) to the Referee and shall cause
the Referee promptly to review any facts, law or arguments either the
Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may present. The Referee shall
be retained to resolve specific differences between the parties within the
range of such differences. Either party may request that all oral arguments
presented to the Referee by either party be in each other's presence. The
decision of the Referee shall be final and binding unless both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree. The parties shall share
equally all costs and fees of the Referee.
Section 13.04 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents:
(a) Newco shall only have liability to Lockheed Xxxxxx and its

however, that neither Lockheed Xxxxxx nor a Purchaser may terminate the

Newco and the Purchasers (as a group) shall be entitled to terminate the

detail the nature of the condition that such party has concluded will
not be satisfied, and the other party shall be entitled during such ten

terms of this Agreement such that the condition reasonably could be
expected to be satisfied prior to the expiration of such time period;
(iii) by either Lockheed Xxxxxx or Newco and the Purchasers (as a
group) if there shall be any law or regulation that makes consummation
of the Contemplated Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited or if
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions would violate any
nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or
Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; and

as permitted by Section 14.01, such termination shall be without liability of

consultant or representative of such party) to any other party to this
Agreement; provided, however, that if the Contemplated Transactions fail to
close as a result of a breach of any Transaction Document by Lockheed Xxxxxx,
Newco or any of the Purchasers, such party shall be fully liable for any and
all Damages incurred or suffered by any other party as a result of all such
breaches in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, except that Lockheed Xxxxxx

Consideration for the Transferred Assets, and (iii) shall not be liable to
the Purchasers or any other Person hereunder for any Damages that result from
a breach of the provisions of Section 7.01 if such breach results from a
breach by either of the Individual Purchasers of Section 8.02(b). The
provisions of Sections 8.01 and 15.03 and this Section 14.02 shall survive
any termination hereof pursuant to Section 14.01.

writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco
and the Purchasers, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the
waiver is to be effective.
(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege under any Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof

Section 15.03 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in the

Section 15.05 Disclosure. Certain information set forth in the
Disclosure Schedules has been included and disclosed solely for informational
purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Transaction Documents. The disclosure of any such
information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement or agreement
that the information is required to be disclosed in connection with the
representations and warranties made in the Transaction Documents or that the
information is material, nor shall any information so included and disclosed
be deemed to establish a standard of materiality or otherwise used to
determine whether any other information is material.

contemplated thereby (including, to the extent contemplated herein, the

matter of such documents and supersede all prior agreements, understandings

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no

behalf of Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates with any governmental
agency, and no statement, made in any such presentation or written materials,
made in any such filing or contained in any such other information shall be
deemed a representation or warranty hereunder or otherwise. The Purchasers
acknowledge that Lockheed Xxxxxx has informed them that no Person has been
authorized by Lockheed Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates to make any
representation or warranty in respect of the Business or in connection with
the Contemplated Transactions, unless in writing and contained in this
Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party.

intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights
or remedies hereunder.

with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
Section 15.09 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be

hereto.

hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and of the
appropriate appellate court) in any such suit, action or proceeding and
waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such suit, action
or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether

unable to resolve the differences as to the provisions of either Attachment
IV, Attachment V, Attachment VIII, Attachment IX, Attachment XI or Attachment
XV, any of the parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the close of
business on April 11, 1997 by written notice to the other parties to this

each Affiliated Transferor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation and has all corporate powers and all governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on the Business as
now conducted, except where the failure to have such licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals has not had, and could not reasonably
be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Business. Each of
Lockheed Xxxxxx and each Affiliated Transferor, as the case may be, is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where
the character of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of its

conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified has not had, and could
not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the
Business.
B.02. Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and
performance by each of Lockheed Xxxxxx and each Affiliated Transferor of each
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by
Lockheed Xxxxxx and each Affiliated Transferor of the Contemplated

all necessary corporate action on its part. Each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding
agreement of Lockheed Xxxxxx and each Affiliated Transferor enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms (i) except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting

to the limitations imposed by general equitable principles (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).
B.03. Governmental Authorization.
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by Lockheed Xxxxxx and
each Affiliated Transferor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party require no action by or in respect of, or consent or approval of, or

(ii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the New

(v) any actions, consents, approvals or filings set forth in
Section B.03 of the Disclosure Schedules or otherwise expressly referred
to in this Agreement; and
(vi) such other consents, approvals, authorizations, permits
and filings the failure to obtain or make would not have, in the

such title other than for the payment of premiums to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), all of which to the knowledge of Lockheed

the PBGC in a distress termination;

payment would constitute a parachute payment (within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code).

extent (i) disclosed or provided for in the December Statement or taken into
account in the determination of the Final Net Tangible Asset Amount or (ii)
relating to Tax periods for which Tax returns (including any applicable
extensions) are not required to have been filed prior to the Tax Closing
Date.
F.03.B. Excluded Liabilities. The term Excluded Liabilities as
defined in Exhibit A shall include any and all liabilities or obligations for
any and all Taxes arising from or with respect to the Transferred Assets or
operations of the Business that are not Assumed Liabilities as defined in
Section F.03.A.

F.05. Allocation of Exchange Consideration.
(a) Within 30 days after the appraisal of the Transferred Assets
by Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. as referred to in Section F.07 has been
completed, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall prepare a schedule (the "Exchange
Consideration Schedule") setting forth the allocation of the cash amount of
the Exchange Consideration among Lockheed Xxxxxx and each of the Affiliated
Transferors. The allocation shall be determined based on such appraisal by
Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P., and shall take into account the allocation of Newco
Class A Stock among Lockheed Xxxxxx and the Affiliated Transferors, as
determined by Lockheed Xxxxxx in its sole discretion. In connection with the
preparation of the Exchange Consideration Schedule, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall
give Newco reasonable access to the books and records of Lockheed Xxxxxx in
respect of the Transferred Assets and the Basis Liabilities. Lockheed Xxxxxx
agrees to make reasonable efforts to allocate the Exchange Consideration in
the Exchange Consideration Schedule in a manner calculated to allow Newco to
obtain a tax basis in the Transferred Assets equal to, but not greater than,
$525,000,000 plus or minus any adjustment to the Exchange Consideration in
accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.04 and plus the Basis Liabilities.
Lockheed Xxxxxx covenants and agrees that the Exchange Consideration will be
allocated so that the adjusted tax basis of Newco in the Transferred Assets,
based on the allocation in the Exchange Consideration Schedule, will be not
less than $500,000,000 plus or minus any adjustment to the Exchange
Consideration in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.04 and plus the Basis
Liabilities.
(b) The Allocation Tax Loss shall be determined jointly by
Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco within 90 days after the Exchange Consideration
Schedule is delivered to Newco. Any dispute with respect to the
determination of the Allocation Tax Loss shall be resolved in the manner
specified in Section 2.03 (b) (regarding determination of the Final Net
Tangible Asset Amount). Within 10 days after the Allocation Tax Loss is
determined, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall pay to Newco the amount of the Allocation
Tax Loss with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment
at a rate per annum equal to the per annum interest rate announced from time
to time by Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association as its
reference rate in effect. Such payment shall be made in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by
Newco. Newco agrees that the aforementioned payment by Lockheed Xxxxxx shall
satisfy all obligations assumed by Lockheed Xxxxxx pursuant to this Section
F.05. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall have no further obligation to indemnify Newco
with regard to any adjustment to the tax basis of the Transferred Assets in
the hands of Newco as a result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service or
any other Tax authority, or as a result of any other adjustment which is
treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Exchange Consideration.
F.06. Representations and Warranties of Lockheed Xxxxxx. Lockheed
Xxxxxx hereby represents prior to but not after the Closing to the
Purchasers, and as of and after the Closing to Newco that:
(a) there are no liens on any of the Transferred Assets that arose
in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax;
(b) neither Lockheed Xxxxxx nor any of the Affiliated Transferors
will take part in both a Section 351 Transfer and a Cash Sale in the context
of the Contemplated Transactions;
(c) neither Lockheed Xxxxxx nor any of the Affiliated Transferors
has transferred or otherwise altered the ownership of any of the Transferred
Assets in anticipation of the Contemplated Transactions.
F.07. Consistent Reporting.
(a) Section 351 Transfers
(i) Unless there has been a Final Determination to the
contrary, Lockheed Xxxxxx, the Affiliated Transferors and Newco covenant
and agree, for all Tax purposes including all Tax returns and Tax
controversies, to (and to cause any Affiliate or successor to their
assets or business to) take each of the positions set forth in
subparagraph (A) through (E) below with respect to Section 351
Transfers.
(A) The transfer of assets by each transferor will
qualify under Section 351(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
(B) The amount of cash received in exchange for any
Transferred Asset will be determined by (A) allocating Basis Liabilities
to the Transferred Assets in proportion to the adjusted tax basis of
such Transferred Assets, and then (B) allocating the total amount of
cash received by the transferor among the Transferred Assets in
proportion to the net fair market value of such Transferred Assets (the
net fair market value being the fair market value of a Transferred Asset
reduced by the amount of any Basis Liabilities allocated to the asset).
(C) The tax basis of each Transferred Asset to be
received by Newco will be the same as the tax basis of such asset in the
hands of the transferor increased by the amount of any gain recognized
by the transferor on the transfer of such asset.
(D) The fair market value of each category of
Transferred Assets will be determined based on an independent appraisal
by Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P.
(E) Neither Newco, nor any successor to its assets or
businesses will be entitled to claim any deduction in respect of any
Basis Liability to the extent previously deducted by the transferor,
unless such previous deduction is later denied.
(ii) Lockheed Xxxxxx and the Affiliated Transferors will file
with their consolidated federal income tax return for the tax period
which includes the Tax Closing Date the information required by Treas.
Reg. 1.351-3(a) and will deliver copies of such statements, including
attachments, to Newco at least 10 days prior to the date on which such
return is filed, and Newco will file with its federal income tax return
for the taxable period within which the Tax Closing Date falls the
information required by Treas. Reg. 1.351-(b) and will deliver a copy of
that statement to Lockheed Xxxxxx within ten days thereafter. Within
180 days after the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx will deliver to Newco
all of the cost and other basis information relating to the Transferred
Assets and Basis Liabilities reasonably required for Newco to prepare
the Statement required by Treas. Reg. 1.351-3(b)(2).
(iii) Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco will jointly prepare schedules
showing (A) the amount of any gain recognized on the transfer of each
category of Transferred Assets, (B) the tax basis of each category of
Transferred Assets in the hands of the transferor, and (C) the amount
previously deducted in respect of each category of Basis Liabilities.
Such schedules will be prepared in a manner consistent with each of the
positions described in Section F.07.(a)(i). In the event of any
adjustment to the tax basis of the Transferred Assets or Basis
Liabilities, as the result of an audit or otherwise, Lockheed Xxxxxx,
the Affiliated Transferors and Newco will jointly prepare any necessary
revisions to such schedules. Unless there has been a Final
Determination to the contrary, Lockheed Xxxxxx, the Affiliated
Transferors and Newco covenant and agree, for all Income Tax purposes,
including all Income Tax returns and any Income Tax controversies, not
to take (and to cause any Affiliate or successors to their assets or
businesses not to take) any position inconsistent with the basis in
assets shown on such schedules (including any revised schedules from and
after the date of revision) prepared pursuant to this Section
F.07.(a)(iii).
(iv) Lockheed Xxxxxx and the Affiliated Transferors covenant
and agree to make the election necessary under Section 197(f)(9)(B) of
the Code and pay the Tax that is required to be paid thereunder, so that
intangible assets will be amortizable to the extent allowable under
Section 197 of the Code. Lockheed Xxxxxx will deliver a copy of the
election to Newco within 10 days of filing or making such election.
(b) Cash Sales
With respect to Cash Sales, the Exchange Consideration shall
be allocated among the Transferred Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of
the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Such allocation shall be based
on an independent appraisal by Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. Lockheed Xxxxxx, the
Affiliated Transferors and Newco shall not take any position on their
respective Tax returns that is inconsistent with such allocation of the
Exchange Consideration for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss
recognized by Lockheed Xxxxxx and/or any of the Affiliated Transferors
pursuant to Cash Sales, and Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco shall duly prepare and
timely file such reports and information returns as may be required to report
the allocation, including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594. Lockheed
Xxxxxx and Newco will each deliver a copy of Form 8594, including
attachments, to the other at least 10 days prior to filing it with its tax
return.
F.08. Allocation of Income, Deductions and Other Items. For
purposes of the Transaction Agreement, income, deductions, and other items
will be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax
Period based on an actual closing of the books of the Business on the Tax
Closing Date. Income, deductions and other items attributable to the Pre-
Closing Tax Period will be included in the federal and state income and/or
franchise tax returns of Lockheed Xxxxxx. Income, deductions and other items
attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period will be included in the federal
and state income and/or franchise tax returns of Newco.
F.09. Allocation of Taxes. Any pre-paid asset or accrued liability
for real property tax, personal property tax or any similar ad valorem
obligation levied with respect to any Transferred Asset for a Post-Closing
Tax Period which includes the Tax Closing Date will be apportioned as of the
Tax Closing Date and included in the determination of the Estimated Final Net
Tangible Asset Amount, the Proposed Final Net Tangible Asset Amount and the
Final Net Tangible Asset Amount based on the number of days of such taxable
period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such
taxable period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period.
F.10. Credit for Increasing Research Activities. Lockheed Xxxxxx,
the Affiliated Transferors and Newco agree that the transfers of assets
pursuant to the Transaction Agreement constitute dispositions of trades or
businesses within the meaning of Section 41(f)(3) of the Code. Lockheed
Xxxxxx and the Affiliated Transferors agree to provide Newco within 150 days
after the Closing Date with all information necessary to permit Newco to
timely apply the provisions of Section 41(f)(3)(A) of the Code with respect
to the Businesses.
F.11. Costs and Expenses of Appraisal. The costs and expenses of
the appraisal by Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. which is referred to in Sections
F.05., F.07.(a)(i)(D) and F.07.(b) shall be shared equally by Lockheed Xxxxxx
and Newco.
F.12. Resale Certificates. Within 45 days after the Closing Date,
where applicable, Newco shall remit to Lockheed Xxxxxx such properly
completed resale exemption certificates or similar certificates or
instruments as are necessary to claim exemptions from the payment of sales,
transfer, use or other similar taxes under Applicable Law.

assume such responsibility and liability if it arises from or relates to (A)
a matter described in Section B.09 of the Disclosure Schedule, or (B) events
occurring on or after the Closing Date.
G.03. Plans Following the Closing.
(a) Except to the extent changes are (i) required by Applicable
Law; (ii) necessary to maintain the tax favored status of any employee plan
or benefit arrangement; (iii) permitted or required under any applicable
collective bargaining agreement; or (iv) necessary to eliminate the use of
any equity securities as the basis for any equity-based incentive
compensation, during the one-year period following the Closing, Newco will
maintain employee compensation and employee plans and benefit arrangements
for the benefit of the Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries,
in either case, who are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, that
are substantially similar to the Employee Plans and Benefit Arrangements
(excluding any stock options, stock appreciation or other equity based
incentive compensation) in effect on the Closing Date; provided, however,
that layoff, severance and retention benefits (including the Special
Severance Program) shall be identical during this period; provided, further,
that post-retirement benefits for Camden Transferees shall also be provided
in accordance with Sections G.03(b) and G.05(f). During such period, for
Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries who are covered by
collective bargaining agreements, Newco shall provide such benefits as are
required by any and such collective bargaining agreements as are assumed
pursuant to Section G.04. Newco will give Transferred Employees full credit
for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual under any such plans
or arrangements maintained by Newco pursuant to this Section G.03 for such
Transferred Employees' service recognized for such purposes under the
Employee Plans and Benefit Arrangements at Closing; provided, however, that
any Newco pension plan may offset pension benefits provided under Newco's
pension plan to a Transferred Employee and attributable to service before the
Closing Date by any pension benefits provided to that Transferred Employee
under any Lockheed Xxxxxx pension plan and attributable to that same pre-
Closing service.
(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx and its
Affiliates shall cease to have any liability or obligation to provide post-
retirement medical and life insurance benefits to Transferred Employees and
Transferred Beneficiaries and Newco shall assume all such liabilities and
obligations to provide post- retirement life and medical benefits and shall
provide post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits in accordance
with Section G.03(a). In addition, Newco will provide (i) substantially
equivalent post-retirement medical benefits for Camden Transferees who meet
the age and service requirements for those benefits (as such requirements are
in effect under the applicable Lockheed Xxxxxx plan immediately prior to the
Closing Date) by the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date and who retire
before that 5th year anniversary; (ii) substantially equivalent post
retirement life insurance benefits for those Camden Transferees who were at
least age 50 as of December 31, 1994 and have ten years of continuous service
at retirement; and (iii) post-retirement medical benefits and life insurance
for Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries covered by a
collective bargaining agreement in accordance with the terms of that
agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Newco
from increasing the cost to Transferred Employees or Transferred
Beneficiaries who became participants in such plans to the extent permitted
by law, but only if the proportion of any required payments by such
participants does not change in relation to the payments made prior to the
Closing Date by such participant's employer; provided, however, nothing
herein permits the level of benefits provided under the plans to be
decreased.
(c) Newco's plans that are welfare plans (as defined in Section
3(1) of ERISA) shall not contain a clause excluding coverage for preexisting
conditions of Transferred Employees or Transferred Beneficiaries (unless and
only to the extent and for the period that such pre-existing condition as of
the Closing Date would be excluded from coverage under the welfare plans of
the Business) and shall provide that any expenses incurred by a Transferred
Employee or Transferred Beneficiary during 1997 on or before the Closing
shall be taken into account from the Closing until December 31, 1997 under
such welfare plans for the purposes of deductible and coinsurance
requirements and satisfaction of maximum out-of-pocket provisions to the same
extent as if such expenses had been incurred after the Closing.
(d) Effective as of the Closing Date, Newco and Lockheed Xxxxxx
shall enter into a benefit administration agreement or agreements, whereby
Newco shall provide to Lockheed Xxxxxx and Lockheed Xxxxxx shall provide to
Newco, upon reasonable request, assistance in the administration of benefit
plans and arrangements after the Closing Date. Newco and Lockheed Xxxxxx
agree to negotiate in good faith the cost of such services and actual terms
of such benefit administration agreement(s).
G.04. Collective Bargaining Agreements. Newco shall (i) expressly
recognize any collective bargaining representative recognized by Lockheed
Xxxxxx or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing for bargaining units
consisting of Transferred Employees; (ii) expressly assume any and all of
Lockheed Xxxxxx'x and its Affiliates' obligations under the collective
bargaining agreements set forth on Section B.21 of the Disclosure Schedules
with respect to the Transferred Employees; and (iii) be a successor employer
for purposes of such collective bargaining agreements.
G.05. Pension Plan Obligations
(a) Transferred Employees currently participate in the following
defined benefit pension plans: (i) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Defense Systems
Retirement Plan; (ii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation Retirement Income Plan II;
(iii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation Pension Plan for Employees in Participating
Bargaining Units; (iv) The Xxxxx Microwave Corporation Pension Plan; (v)
Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems, Inc. Pension Plan; (vi) Lockheed Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx Corporation Retirement Plan; (vii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Hycor Pension
Plan; (viii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Retirement Income Plan; (ix) Lockheed Xxxxxx
Supplemental Retirement Income Plan; (x) Lockheed Xxxxxx Retirement Plan for
Certain Salaried Employees; (xi) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems, Inc.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan; (xii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation
Supplementary Pension Plan for Employees of Transferred GE Operations; (xiii)
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Certain Management Employees of
the Xxxxx Microwave Corporation; (xiv) Lockheed Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Corporation
Supplemental Benefit Plan; (xv) Lockheed Xxxxxx Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan ("Lockheed Xxxxxx Pension Plans"). As of the Closing Date,
Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue service credit or benefits under
Lockheed Xxxxxx Pension Plans, other than the Assumed Plans described in
Section G.05(b).
(b) With respect to The Xxxxx Microwave Corporation Pension Plan
("Xxxxx Plan") and the Lockheed Xxxxxx Hycor Pension Plan ("Hycor Plan")
(collectively, the "Assumed Plans"), as of the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx
and its Affiliates shall cease to sponsor, administer, pay benefits or
contribute to the Assumed Plans (other than for contributions due prior to
the Effective Date) and thereby cease to be responsible for any acts,
omissions and transactions under or in connection with any such Assumed Plan,
whether occurring before or after Closing. Effective as of the Closing Date,
Newco shall become the sponsor of the Assumed Plans. Contingent upon receipt
of the Initial Transfer Amount in the case of the Xxxxx Plan or the transfer
of sponsorship of the trust in the case of the Hycor Plan, Newco shall assume
all liabilities with respect to such Assumed Plan (including liabilities with
respect to Transferred Beneficiaries), shall assume responsibility for paying
pension benefits in respect of Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries, and shall become responsible for all acts, omissions and
transactions under or in connection with that Assumed Plan, whether arising
before or after the Closing. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date,
the parties shall cause the sponsorship of the trust agreement maintained to
fund the Hycor Plan to be transferred to Newco and Newco, as of the Closing
Date, shall assume all of Lockheed Xxxxxx'x and its Affiliates rights,
obligations and duties under that trust agreement. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall
cause the trusts holding the assets of the Xxxxx Plan to transfer the assets
attributable to the Xxxxx Plan (determined as of the end of the month in
which the Closing Date occurs) to be transferred to a trust (or trusts)
designated by Newco for the purpose of holding the assets of the Xxxxx Plan.
(c) With respect to the (i) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Defense
Systems Retirement Plan; (ii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation Retirement Income
Plan II; (iii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation Pension Plan for Employees in
Participating Bargaining Units; (iv) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems, Inc.
Pension Plan; (v) Lockheed Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Corporation Retirement Plan; and
(vi) Lockheed Xxxxxx Retirement Income Plan (the "Spinoff Plans"), Newco
shall establish a defined benefit plan or plans which provide substantially
similar benefits in accordance with Section G.03(a), where applicable,(the
"Newco Spinoff Plans") for the benefit of the Transferred Employees and
Transferred Beneficiaries participating in the Spinoff Plans. As soon as
practicable following the Closing, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause its actuary to
calculate the Accrued Liability of all participants in each of the Spinoff
Plans and then to compare, on a plan by plan basis, the Accrued Liability of
all the participants in each of the Spinoff Plans to the fair market value of
the assets in the respective Spinoff Plan as of the end of the month in which
the Closing Date occurs. If the Accrued Liability of all participants in the
respective Spinoff Plan is less than the fair market value of the assets in
that Spinoff Plan, then Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause assets (determined as of
the end of the month in which the Closing Date occurs) to be transferred to a
trust established to hold assets of the respective Newco Spinoff Plan equal
to such fair market value of the assets multiplied by a fraction the
numerator of which is the Accrued Liability of Transferred Employees and
Transferred Beneficiaries under such Spinoff Plan and the denominator of
which is the Accrued Liability of all participants in such plan. If the
Accrued Liability of all participants in the respective Spinoff Plan is equal
to or more than the fair market value of the assets in that Spinoff Plan,
then Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause its actuary to determine the amount of
assets allocable to the liabilities of Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries participating in that plan based on Section 4044 of ERISA
("Section 4044 Amount"). Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause assets in cash equal to
the Section 4044 Amount applicable to Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries under such Spinoff Plan to be transferred to a trust
established by Newco to hold assets of the respective Newco Spinoff Plans.
Contingent upon the transfer of the Initial Transfer Amount (as described in
Section G.05(b)) to each Newco Spinoff Plan, Newco shall assume all
liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its affiliates with respect to Transferred
Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries under the Spinoff Plan from which
that transfer was made and shall become with respect to such Transferred
Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries responsible for all acts, omissions
and transactions under or in connection with such Spinoff Plan, whether
arising before or after the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of
liabilities with respect to Camden Transferees, Newco shall only assume
liabilities and shall only become responsible for all acts, omissions and
transactions under or in connection with that Spinoff Plan arising on or
after the Closing or disclosed in Section B.21 of the Disclosure Schedules.
(d) All transfers to the Xxxxx Plan and the Newco Spinoff Plans
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section G.05(d).
Within 30 days of the Closing Date, or if later, 20 days following the date
on which Lockheed Xxxxxx has been provided evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it that Newco has established a trust (or trusts) to hold the assets of
the Xxxxx Plan and the Newco Spinoff Plans and that the Newco Spinoff Plans
are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trusts holding assets
of the Newco Spinoff Plans or Xxxxx Plan are tax exempt under Section 501(a)
of the Code ("Initial Transfer Date"), Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause its trusts
to make an initial transfer of assets in cash equal to 85% of the amount
estimated by Lockheed Xxxxxx in good faith to be equal to X (as defined
below) with respect to each plan (using the same assumptions and
methodologies consistent with estimates previously provided to Newco and as
set forth in a schedule to be presented at Closing by Lockheed Xxxxxx)
("Initial Transfer Amount"). In addition, prior to the Initial Transfer Date
Lockheed Xxxxxx shall provide Newco with evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Newco that the appropriate Lockheed Xxxxxx 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"), Lockheed
Xxxxxx shall cause a second transfer to be made in cash of the "True-Up
Amount." The True-Up Amount shall be equal to the sum of the following
amount with respect to the Xxxxx Plan and each Spinoff Plan:
(X minus Initial Transfer Amount), minus benefit payments,
adjusted for Earnings,
where X equals in the case of the Spinoff Plans, the Accrued Liability or the
Section 4044 Amount, whichever is applicable, and in the case of the Xxxxx
Plan, the fair market value of the assets attributable to the Xxxxx Plan at
the end of the month in which the Closing Date occurs. Earnings shall be
calculated (i) from the last day of the month following the Closing until the
Initial Transfer Date on the amount equal to the Initial Transfer Amount
using the rate paid on a 90-day Treasury Xxxx on the auction date coincident
with or immediately preceding the Closing, (ii) from the Initial Transfer
Date until the True-Up Date on an amount equal to X minus the sum of the
Initial Transfer Amount and the benefit payments using (A) with respect to
the period from the Closing Date to the last day of the month preceding the
True-Up Date, the cumulative rate of return (considering both gain and loss)
earned or lost on the assets of the trust from which the True-Up Amount is
being transferred and (B) with respect to the period from the first day of
the month in which the True-Up Date occurs and the True-Up Date the rate paid
on a 90-Day Treasury Xxxx on the auction date coincident with or immediately
preceding the first day of the month in which the True-Up Date occurs. If
the Initial Transfer Amount exceeds X with respect to any plan, as soon as
practicable following such determination Newco shall cause a transfer to be
made to the respective Lockheed Xxxxxx Pension Plan equal to the difference
between the Initial Transfer Amount and X, adjusted to reflect Earnings (i)
from the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs until the Initial
Transfer Date using the rate paid on a 90-day Treasury Xxxx on the auction
date coincident with or immediately preceding the Closing; (ii) from the
Initial Transfer Date until the date of transfer, such Earnings shall be
calculated using (A) with respect to the period from that Initial Transfer
Date to the last day of the month preceding such transfer, the cumulative
rate of return (considering both gain and loss) on the assets of the plan
from which the transfer is being transferred and (B) with respect to the
period from the first day of the month in which the transfer occurs and the
date of such transfer, the rate paid on a 90-Day Treasury Xxxx on the auction
date coincident with or immediately preceding the first day of the month in
which the transfer occurs. The True-Up Amount shall be transferred in cash
except benefits of Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries
attributable to Xxxx Xxxxxxx Group Annuity Contract 8474 shall be transferred
in kind. 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 G.05(d) shall be
determined in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation 1.414(l)-1. The amounts to be transferred pursuant to this
section G.05(d) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy Section
414(l) of the Code, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, ERISA Section
4044, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
(e) For the purposes of this Section, the term "Accrued Liability"
shall mean the present value of the accrued benefit of the Transferred
Employee or Transferred Beneficiary, determined on a termination basis using
the interest factors specified by the PBGC for an immediate or deferred
annuity as appropriate for such Transferred Employee or Transferred
Beneficiary and the other methods and factors specified in the regulations of
the PBGC for the valuation of accrued benefits upon plan termination,
including, but not limited to, expected retirement ages and expense load
assumptions published by the PBGC, and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality
Table. The interest factors shall be those in effect on the Closing Date.
The Accrued Liability and Section 4044 Amount shall be determined by an
enrolled actuary designated by Lockheed Xxxxxx. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall
provide any actuary designated by Newco with all information reasonably
necessary to review the calculation of the Accrued Liability and the Section
4044 Amount in all material respects and to verify that such calculations
have been performed in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
If there is a good faith dispute between Lockheed Xxxxxx'x actuary and
Newco's actuary as to the amount to be transferred to any plan, and such
dispute remains unresolved for 30 days, the chief financial officers of the
respective companies shall endeavor to resolve the issue. Should such
dispute remain unresolved for 60 days, Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco shall select
and appoint a third actuary who is mutually satisfactory to both of the
parties hereto. The decision of such third party actuary shall be rendered
within 30 days and shall be conclusive as to any dispute for which it was
appointed. The cost of such third party actuary shall be divided equally
between Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco. Each party shall be responsible for the
cost of its own actuary.
(f) Newco shall take all action necessary to qualify each Newco
Spinoff Plan under the applicable provisions of the Code and Newco and
Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cooperate to make any and all filings and submissions
to the appropriate governmental agencies required to be made by Newco as are
appropriate in effectuating the provisions hereof. The Newco Spinoff Plans
and Assumed Plans and any successor plans thereto shall contain appropriate
provisions providing that through the first year anniversary of the Closing
(fifth anniversary in the case of Lockheed Xxxxxx Retirement Income Plan II
and Lockheed Xxxxxx Retirement Income Plan), each Newco Spinoff Plan shall
provide for a benefit formula that is no less favorable than the formula
provided in the corresponding Spinoff Plan at Closing. The Newco Spinoff
Plans or Assumed Plans receiving a transfer from the Lockheed Xxxxxx
Corporation Retirement Income Plan II and the Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation
Pension Plan for Employees in Participating Bargaining Units and any
successor plans thereto shall contain appropriate provisions providing that
(i) to the extent assets transferred are attributable to assets transferred
from the GE Pension Plan or are governed by collective bargaining agreements,
any such assets shall be held by trusts forming a part of such Newco Spinoff
Plans (or successor plans) and shall be held for the exclusive benefit of the
participants in such Newco Spinoff Plans (or successor plans) and such assets
shall not upon termination of those Newco Spinoff Plans (or successor plans)
revert to the employer or sponsor of such Newco Spinoff Plans (or successor
plans); (ii) the accrued benefits as of the Closing of Transferred Employees
under such plans may not be decreased by amendment or otherwise; and (iii)
each Transferred Employee retiring under Newco Spinoff Plans (or successor
plans) will be entitled to receive pension benefits no less than what would
have been received under the GE Pension Plan as in effect as of April 5,
1993, taking into account the Transferred Employee's combined service with
Newco, Lockheed Xxxxxx, XX, and RCA and each of their Affiliates.
(g) With respect to the (i) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems, Inc.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("LMTS SERP"); (ii) the Lockheed
Xxxxxx Corporation Supplementary Pension Plan for Employees of Transferred GE
Operations ("Supplementary Plan"), the Lockheed Xxxxxx Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan, the Lockheed Xxxxxx Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (the
"Camden SERPs"); and (iii) the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for
Certain Management Employees of Xxxxx Microwave Corporation, and Lockheed
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Corporation Supplemental Benefit Plan, (the plans in (i),
(ii), and (iii) collectively referred to as the "LMC SERPs"), Newco shall
establish a nonqualified plan or plans (the "Newco SERP") for the benefit of
Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries participating in the LMC
SERPs as of the Closing Date and Newco shall assume all obligations and
liabilities under the LMC SERPs, with respect to the Transferred Employees
and the Transferred Beneficiaries. Effective as of the Closing Date, all
Transferred Employees will cease to accrue benefits under the LMC SERPs.
With respect to the Supplementary Plan, Newco will provide an equivalent plan
for Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries eligible to
participate in that plan as of the Closing Date that provides equivalent
benefits during the entire term of their employment with Newco, its
Affiliates and their successors. With respect to the LMC SERPs (other than
the Supplementary Plan), Newco shall provide a substantially similar plan in
accordance with the provisions of Section G.03(a). As soon as practicable
(but not more than 180 days) after the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall
cause its actuary to calculate the SERP Liability of all participants in the
LMTS SERP and the Camden SERPS, respectively, and the SERP Liability for
Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries in the LMTS and Camden
SERPS respectively and shall cause the following transfers. As soon as
practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the later of (i) the
acceptance of the calculation of the SERP Liability by Newco or (ii) 20 days
following submission to Lockheed Xxxxxx of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it that Newco has established a corresponding rabbi trust or trusts,
Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause a transfer of assets from the rabbi trust
established in connection with the LMTS SERP ("LMTS Trust") to a rabbi trust
established by Newco in an amount equal to the product of the (i) fair market
value of the assets of the LMTS Trust as of the last day of the month in
which the Closing Date occurs; and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the "SERP Liability" for Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries
participating in the LMTS SERP and the denominator of which is the SERP
Liability for all participants in the LMTS SERP. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall also
cause a transfer of assets from the rabbi trust established in connection
with the Camden SERPs ("Camden Trust") to a rabbi trust established by Newco
in an amount equal to the product of the (i) fair market value of the assets
of the Camden Trust as of the last day of the month in which the Closing Date
occurs; and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the "SERP Liability"
for Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries participating in the
Camden SERPs and the denominator of which is the SERP Liability for all
participants in the Camden SERPs. The amount of the transfer shall be
reduced by benefits paid by Lockheed Xxxxxx prior to the transfer. If the
amount of the benefits paid exceeds the amount of the transfer, Newco shall
promptly pay Lockheed Xxxxxx such excess. For the purpose of this section,
the "SERP Liability" with respect to a participant shall be the lump sum
present value (determined as of the end of the month in which the Closing
Date occurs) of the accrued benefit of the participant under the applicable
SERP calculated utilizing the assumptions used by Lockheed Xxxxxx for
reporting accrued benefit obligations relative to Seller Pension Plans under
FAS No. 87 in its 1996 Annual Report. The calculation of the amount to be
transferred shall be subject to the review and dispute resolution procedures
contained in subsection (e).
(h) No later than the True-Up Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall also
cause the Lockheed Xxxxxx Federal Systems, Inc. Retirement Plan ("Federal
Systems Plan") to make a transfer to a qualified defined benefit plan
designated by Newco in an amount equal to the accrued benefit of the
Transferred Employees who participated in the Federal Systems Plan
immediately prior to the Closing. For the purposes of this section, the
accrued benefit of the Transferred Employees shall mean the present value of
the accrued benefit determined on a termination basis using the interest
factors for an immediate or deferred annuity as appropriate for each such
Transferred Employee. The assumptions used in determining the accrued
benefit of each such Transferred Employee shall be the same as the
assumptions used to determine Accrued Liability under Section G.05(e). The
transfer shall be contingent upon Newco providing evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lockheed Xxxxxx that such designated plan is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust of which it is a part is exempt from
taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall also
provide to Newco evidence reasonably satisfactory to Newco that the Federal
Systems Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust of
which it is a part is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code.
Upon receipt of such transfer of assets, Newco shall assume all liabilities
of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates with respect to such Transferred
Employees under the Federal Systems Plan and shall become with respect to
such Transferred Employees responsible for all acts, obligations, omissions
and transactions under or in connection with the Federal Systems Plan,
whether arising before or after the Closing. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause the
benefits accrued as of the Closing Date by any Transferred Employee or
Transferred Beneficiary under the Lockheed Xxxxxx Retirement Plan for Certain
Salaried Employees (the "Lockheed Plan") or any other defined benefit pension
plan that is not listed in Schedule G.05(a) or this G.05(h) to be fully
vested at the Closing Date and any such Transferred Employee or Transferred
Beneficiary shall be eligible on the Closing Date to participate in the Newco
defined benefit plans (the "Newco Plans") established for other Transferred
Employees or Transferred Beneficiaries who were formerly employed in the
Communications Systems Business Unit (or such other plan as Newco designates
in the case of Transferred Employees covered under any plan other than the
Lockheed Plan). Newco shall credit such Transferred Employees and
Transferred Beneficiaries with all service recognized under the Lockheed Plan
or such other plans as the case may be. If the Transferred Employee
participated in the plan for more than one year, Lockheed Xxxxxx shall credit
such Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries with all service
recognized under the Newco Plans for all purposes, other than benefit accrual
and will recognize Newco compensation for calculating pensionable earnings
under the Lockheed Plan or any other such plan which is a final average pay
plan.
G.06. Savings Plan Obligations.
(a) Transferred Employees currently participate in the following
defined contribution plans: (i) Lockheed Xxxxxx Defense Systems Savings and
Investment Plan; (ii) Lockheed Xxxxxx Salaried Savings Plan; (iii) Lockheed
Xxxxxx Salaried Savings Plan II; (iv) Lockheed Xxxxxx Performance Sharing
Plan; (v) Lockheed Xxxxxx Supplemental Savings Plan; (vi) Conic Corporation
Deferred Income Retirement Plan; (vii) Xxxxx Microwave Supplemental
Retirement Savings Plan; (viii) Xxxxx Western Operations 401(k) Deferred
Income Retirement Plan; (ix) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems, Inc. Deferred
Income Savings Plan; (x) Lockheed Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Corporation Savings Plan;
(xi) Randtron Employees Retirement Savings Plan; (xii) Microcom Corporation
401(k) Plan; (xiii) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust of Lockheed Xxxxxx Hycor,
Inc., (xiv) Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems Inc. Frequency Sources, Inc.
401(k) Retirement Plan and (xv) Lockheed Xxxxxx Federal Systems Deferred
Income Retirement Plan (collectively, "Lockheed Xxxxxx Defined Contribution
Plans"). The plans listed in (i), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xiv) and (xv)
are all sub-plans in the Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems Master Savings
Plan.
(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco
shall cause (i) Randtron Employees Retirement Plan; (ii) Microcom Corporation
401K Plan; (iii) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust of Lockheed Xxxxxx Hycor, Inc.
("Transferred Savings Plans") to be amended to provide that sponsorship and
maintenance thereof shall be transferred to Newco and Newco shall assume all
of the obligations and liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates with
respect to each such Transferred Plan (including liabilities with respect to
Transferred Beneficiaries) and contingent upon receipt of the transferred
assets described in Section G.06(c), shall become responsible for all acts,
omissions and transactions under or in connection with the Transferred
Savings Plan, whether arising before or after Closing. Effective as of the
Closing Date, Lockheed Xxxxxx and/or its Affiliates shall cease to sponsor,
administer or contribute (other than contributions in respect of benefits
accrued prior to the Effective Date) to the Transferred Savings Plans and
thereby cease to be responsible for any acts, omissions and transactions
under or in connection with any such Transferred Savings Plan.
(c) With respect to all Lockheed Xxxxxx Defined Contribution Plans
except the Transferred Savings Plans described in Section G.06(b) (the
"Lockheed Xxxxxx Savings Plans"), the Transferred Employees shall cease to
accrue benefits and service credits under such plans as of the Closing Date
and, effective as of the Closing Date, Newco shall establish new savings
plans ("Newco's Savings Plans") and associated trusts to hold the assets of
those plans for the Transferred Employees, to be effective as of the Closing
Date, and shall provide to Lockheed Xxxxxx evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Lockheed Xxxxxx that Newco's Savings Plans and the associated trusts have
been established and that the Newco's Savings Plans qualify under the
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, and that the trusts are exempt
from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall provide to
Newco evidence reasonably satisfactory to Newco that the Lockheed Xxxxxx
Savings Plans remain qualified under the requirements of Section 401(a) of
the Code. Provided Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco have received evidence
reasonably satisfactory to them in accordance with the preceding sentences,
as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, in no event
later than 60 days following receipt of such mutually satisfactory evidence,
Lockheed Xxxxxx shall take or cause to be taken all action required or
appropriate to transfer the account balances of all Transferred Employees and
Transferred Beneficiaries to the respective trusts associated with Newco's
Savings Plans. Such transfers shall be made in cash in an amount equal to
the value of the account balances to be transferred, determined as of the
close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the
transfer, except that (i) to the extent a participant's or beneficiary's
account balance in the transferor plan includes one or more promissory notes
evidencing a participant loan or loans, such promissory notes shall be
transferred in kind for the participant's or beneficiary's credit under the
transferee plan and (ii) any assets in the transferor trust consisting of
securities issued by Lockheed Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Marietta Materials, Inc. or
Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. that are allocable to the respective
transferee plan shall be transferred in kind. For the period from the
Closing Date until the transfer, Newco shall collect by payroll deduction and
promptly pay over to the respective Lockheed Xxxxxx Defined Contribution Plan
all loan payments required on participant loans made by the respective plan
to any Transferred Employee and Lockheed Xxxxxx shall cause the respective
Lockheed Xxxxxx Defined Contribution Plan to administer and pay all
distributions, withdrawals and loans payable under the terms of the
respective plan to any Transferred Employee or Transferred Beneficiary until
the transfer. Contingent upon the transfer of the account balances to each
of Newco's Savings Plans, Newco shall assume all liabilities of Lockheed
Xxxxxx and its affiliates with respect to Transferred Employees and
Transferred Beneficiaries under the Lockheed Xxxxxx Defined Contribution Plan
from which that transfer was made and shall become with respect to such
Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries responsible for all acts,
omissions and transactions under or in connection with such Lockheed Xxxxxx
Defined Contribution Plan, whether arising before or after the Closing;
provided, however, that in the case of liabilities with respect to Camden
Transferees, Newco shall only assume liabilities and shall only become
responsible for all acts, omissions and transactions under or in connection
with that Lockheed Xxxxxx Defined Contribution Plan arising after the Closing
or disclosed in Section B.21 of the Disclosure Schedules.
G.07. GE Special Benefits Protections. Pursuant to Section V.II of
Exhibit V to a Transaction Agreement (the "GE Agreement") dated November 22,
1992, as amended, among GE, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Corporation, a Maryland
corporation and Lockheed Xxxxxx, Lockheed Xxxxxx has agreed to reimburse GE
(the "GE Reimbursement Obligations") for certain specified expenses relating
to benefits for certain individuals who were formerly employed by GE and who
became employees of Lockheed Xxxxxx or its Affiliates as a result of the
transaction contemplated by the GE Agreement (the "Former GE Employees").
Newco shall assume, effective on the Closing Date, all of the GE
Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries for such specified expenses, and shall indemnify and hold
harmless Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates from any and all such GE
Reimbursement Obligations. Lockheed Xxxxxx shall provide Newco with copies
of any documentation it receives from GE documenting the basis for such
expenses.
G.08. Severance and Retention Agreements. In accordance with
Section 6.9 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 7, 1996,
by and among Loral Corporation, Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation and LAC
Acquisition Corporation, Lockheed Xxxxxx Tactical Systems, Inc. has adopted
the Supplemental Severance Program. Lockheed Xxxxxx has entered into Key
Employee Supplemental Severance Program and Key Executive Supplemental
Severance Program agreements (the "Program Agreements"). In addition,
Lockheed Xxxxxx has entered into Retention Agreements (collectively with the
Supplemental Severance Program and the Program Agreements, the "Supplemental
Agreements") with certain Transferred Employees who participate in the
Supplemental Severance Program. Other than with respect to the Transferred
Employees set forth on Section B.21 of the Disclosure Schedules, Newco
assumes all obligations and liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates
under the Supplemental Agreements for all claims made after the Closing Date
by Transferred Employees, including claims based on the Contemplated
Transactions, which shall be Assumed Liabilities for purposes of this
Agreement. All obligations and liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx with respect
to the Transferred Employees on Section B.21 of the Disclosure Schedules and
any other individual covered by a Supplemental Agreement who is not a
Transferred Employee shall constitute Excluded Liabilities.
G.09. Vacation and Holidays. As of the Closing, Newco shall adopt
at its expense, vacation and holiday plans for Transferred Employees to
succeed Lockheed Xxxxxx'x and its Affiliates' vacation and holiday plans.
For the 12-month period beginning with the Closing Date, such plans shall
provide for accrued vacation and holidays no less favorable than, and in
substitution for, those Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates would have
provided to such Transferred Employees had they remained employees of
Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates, and Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates
shall have no liability or obligation to pay or provide any vacation or
holiday payments claimed on or after the Closing Date. Thereafter, such
plans shall provide vacation, accrued vacation and holidays to each eligible
Transferred Employee on the basis of his or her continuous service with
Lockheed Xxxxxx, Newco and their Affiliates.
G.10. Other Employee Plans.
(a) Newco shall, as of the Closing Date, assume all obligations
and liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates in respect of
Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries under the Deferred
Management Incentive Compensation Plan.
(b) Newco shall, as of the Closing Date, assume all obligations
and liabilities (including, without limitation, all obligations and
liabilities attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date) of Lockheed
Xxxxxx and its Affiliates in respect of Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries under each Employee Plan and Benefit Arrangement not covered
under Sections X.00, X.00, X.00, X.00, X.00, G.10(a) and G.10(c) and shall be
a successor employer with respect to such plans; provided, however, that with
respect to obligations and liabilities to Camden Transferees arising from
events occurring prior to the Closing Date, Newco shall assume such
obligations and liabilities only to the extent that they (i) arise under a
Benefit Arrangement or Employee Plan disclosed in Section B.21 of the
Disclosure Schedules; (ii) are reflected in the Final Net Tangible Asset
Amount; or (iii) are incurred after the Effective Date.
(c) With respect to each Employee Plan and Benefit Arrangement
(other than those referred to in Sections X.00, X.00, X.00, X.00, X.00 and
G.10(a)), including any employment agreement, that covers only Transferred
Employees and/or Transferred Beneficiaries ("Transferred Benefit Plans"),
Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco shall cause each Transferred Benefit Plan to be
amended to provide that sponsorship and maintenance thereof shall be trans-
ferred as of the Closing Date to Newco and Newco shall assume all obligations
and liabilities of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its Affiliates with respect to each
such plan (including liabilities with respect to Transferred Beneficiaries),
and shall become responsible for all acts, omissions and transactions under
or in connection with the Transferred Benefit Plans, whether arising before
or after Closing; provided, however, that with respect to obligations and
liabilities to Camden Transferees under or otherwise arising in connection
with an Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement arising from events occurring
prior to the Closing Date, Newco shall assume such obligations and
liabilities only to the extent that they (i) arise under an Employee Plan or
Benefit Arrangement disclosed in Section B.21 of the Disclosure Schedules;
(ii) are reflected in the Final Net Tangible Asset Amount; or (iii) are
incurred after the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Lockheed
Xxxxxx and/or its Affiliates shall cease to sponsor, administer or contribute
to the Transferred Benefit Plans and thereby cease to be responsible for any
acts, omissions and transactions under or in connection with any such
Transferred Benefit Plan, whether occurring before or after Closing. Except
as otherwise agreed to by the parties or as it relates solely to an
Individual Purchaser, Lockheed Xxxxxx agrees to transfer any assets which are
separately identifiable or attributable to the Employee Plans and Benefit
Arrangements described in this Section G.10(c).
(d) As of the Closing Date, Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries shall cease to accrue or enjoy benefits under any Employee
Plans and Benefit Arrangements (excluding those referred to in Sections
G.05(b), G.06(b), X.00, X.00, X.00 and G.10(c)) and shall commence accrual of
benefits and participation in those employee compensation and benefit plan
and arrangements maintained by Newco pursuant to Section G.03.
(e) For any full or partial contract year or plan year prior to
the Closing Date of any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement covering
Transferred Employees or Transferred Beneficiaries (other than Camden
Transferees): (i) Lockheed Xxxxxx agrees to carve out and transfer to the
corresponding Newco plan, any surpluses, refunds or rebates received by or
attributable to Lockheed Xxxxxx for any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement
and (ii) Newco agrees to transfer to the corresponding Lockheed Xxxxxx Plan
an amount equal to any deficit charged to or attributable to Lockheed Xxxxxx
for any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement, in either case that is
attributable to Transferred Employees and/or Transferred Beneficiaries.
(f) The flexible spending accounts established on behalf of the
Transferred Employees and Transferred Beneficiaries in accordance with
Section G.03(a) will be maintained through the end of the applicable plan
year in which the Closing occurs in a manner that ensures that each
Transferred Employee and Transferred Beneficiary receives no more and no less
than he or she would have received had the Contemplated Transactions not
occurred. Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco shall coordinate management of their
respective flexible spending accounts to achieve this result. As soon as
practicable following the close of the 1997 plan year, Lockheed Xxxxxx and
Newco shall reconcile flexible spending account balances so as to achieve an
equitable result as between Lockheed Xxxxxx and Newco.
G.11. Necessary Action. Newco and Lockheed Xxxxxx agree to take all
action which may be necessary in order to effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Exhibit G, including, without limitation, adopting any
necessary amendments to the Employee Plans and Benefit Arrangements and
making all filings and submissions to the appropriate governmental agencies
required to be made in connection with the segregation and/or transfer of
assets contemplated by Sections G.05 and G.06.
G.12. Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Exhibit G
shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former
employee of the Business (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof)
including, without limitation, any right to continued employment or
employment in any particular position by Newco for any specified period of
time after the Closing Date.
G.13. Plan Administration. Newco shall prepare and file all Forms
5500 and other government reports or returns that are required to be filed
after the Closing Date with respect to each of the Assumed Plans described in
Section G.05(b), the Transferred Savings Plans described in Section G.06(b)
and the Transferred Benefit Plans described in Section G.10(c).
G.14. Mutual Assistance. At all times after the Closing Date, Newco
and Lockheed Xxxxxx agree to make reasonably available to each other and each
other's agents, employees, accountants and other representatives such
actuarial, financial, personnel and related information as may be requested
with respect to any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement, Transferred
Employee or Transferred Beneficiary, including but not limited to benefit
records, compensation and employment histories, policies, interpretations and
other records relating to the Employee Plans and Benefit Arrangements.
G.15. Xxxxxxxx v. G.E. Newco shall not by reason of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise be deemed to have
assumed any liability or obligation with respect to any claim or cause of
action asserted against GE or Lockheed Xxxxxx in the lawsuit Xxxxxxxx v. G.E.
filed in the federal district court in Connecticut in March, 1993. All such
claims and causes of action shall constitute Excluded Liabilities for
purposes of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section G.15. or elsewhere,
however, shall be deemed to require Lockheed Xxxxxx to indemnify or otherwise
to relieve Newco of any liability or obligation it may incur as a result of a
purported claim or purported cause of action asserted against Newco which is
based on this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions, or any actions or
transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Lockheed Martin, Newco and the Purchasers desire to amend
the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements of the parties contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings given to them in the Transaction Agreement dated as of March 28,
1997, by and among Lockheed Martin, Newco and the Purchasers, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Transaction Agreement dated as of April 11, 1997, and by
Amendment No. 2 to the Transaction Agreement dated as of April 30, 1997 (as
amended, the "Agreement").
Section 2. Section G.06(c) of the Transaction Agreement shall be
amended to read as follows:
With respect to all Lockheed Martin Defined Contribution Plans
except the Transferred Savings Plans described in Section
G.06(b) (the "Lockheed Martin Savings Plans"), the Transferred
Employees shall cease to accrue benefits and service credits
under such plans as of the Closing Date and, effective as of
the Closing Date, Newco shall establish new savings plans
("Newco's Savings Plans") and associated trusts to hold the
assets of those plans for the Transferred Employees, to be
effective as of the Closing Date, and shall provide to
Lockheed Martin evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lockheed
Martin that Newco's Savings Plans and the associated trusts
have been established and that Newco's Savings Plans qualify
under the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, and that
the trusts are exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the
Code. Lockheed Martin shall provide to Newco evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Newco that the Lockheed Martin
Savings Plans remain qualified under the requirements of
Section 401(a) of the Code. Provided Lockheed Martin and Newco
have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to them in
accordance with the preceding sentences, as soon as is
reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no
event later than 60 days following receipt of such mutually
satisfactory evidence, (i) Lockheed Martin shall take all
action required or appropriate to transfer the account
balances of all Transferred Employees and Transferred
Beneficiaries (other than account balances in the Lockheed
Martin Savings Plan, Lockheed Martin Savings Plan II and
Lockheed Martin Performance Sharing Plan, collectively the
"Camden Plans") to the respective trust associated with
Newco's Savings Plans; and (ii) with respect to account
balances in the Camden Plans, Lockheed Martin shall amend the
Camden Plans, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of
the Code, to permit each Transferred Employee or Transferred
Beneficiary with an account balance in the Camden Plans during
the period between the Closing and the end of the second
calendar year following the Closing, to (x) receive a
distribution from the Camden Plans; (y) make a direct rollover
in accordance with Section 401(a)(31) of the Code; or (z)
leave his or her account balances in the Camden Plans.
Transfers shall be made in the form of cash in an amount equal
to the value of the account balances to be transferred,
determined as of the close of business on the last business
day immediately preceding the transfer, except that (i) to the
extent a participant's or beneficiary's account balance in the
transferor plan includes one or more promissory notes
evidencing a participant loan or loans, such promissory note
shall be transferred in kind for the participant's or
beneficiary's credit under the transferee plan and (ii) any
assets in the transferor trust consisting of securities issued
by Lockheed Martin, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Loral
Space & Communications, Ltd. that are allocable to the
respective transferee plan shall be transferred in kind.
Amounts distributed or rolled over from the Camden Plans shall
be payable in cash only. For the period from the Closing Date
until such time as the Transferred Employee or Transferred
Beneficiary no longer has an account balance in any Lockheed
Martin Defined Contribution Plan, Newco shall collect by
payroll deduction and promptly pay over to the respective
Lockheed Martin Defined Contribution Plan all loan payments
required on participant loans made by the respective plan to
any Transferred Employee and Lockheed Martin shall cause the
respective Lockheed Martin Defined Contribution Plan to
administer and pay all distributions, withdrawals and loans
payable under the terms of the respective plan. Contingent
upon the transfer of an account balance to each of Newco's
Savings Plans, Newco shall assume all liabilities of Lockheed
Martin and its affiliates with respect to that Transferred
Employee or Transferred Beneficiary under the Lockheed Martin
Defined Contribution Plan from which that transfer was made
and shall become with respect to such Transferred Employee and
Transferred Beneficiary responsible for all acts, omissions
and transactions under or in connection with such Lockheed
Martin Defined Contribution Plan, whether arising before or
after the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of any
liabilities with respect to Camden Transferees (other than
Camden Transferrees for whom no such transfer was made), Newco
shall only assume liabilities and shall only become
responsible for all acts, omissions and transactions under or
in connection with that Lockheed Martin Defined Contribution
Plan arising after the Closing or disclosed in Section B.21 of
the Disclosure Schedules."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment
to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers on the day and
year first above written.
