ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

  THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of the 28th
day of July, 1998, by and between RAYTHEON TI SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware         
corporation ("RTIS"), RAYTHEON COMPANY, a Delaware corporation ("Raytheon"),    
RAYTHEON SYSTEMS GEORGIA, INC. ("RSG" and together with Raytheon and RTIS, the  
"Sellers") and DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer").    

  On July 11, 1997, RTIS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raytheon, purchased
the second generation and third generation scanning and staring infrared        
detector businesses of Texas Instruments Incorporated, a Delaware corporation   
("TI"), operated out of the Semiconductor Building and the Research West        
Building located at the TI Expressway site in Dallas, Texas, including all dewar
and cryogenic cooler manufacturing and dewar and cryogenic cooler assembly.     
These businesses, excluding the uncooled FPA business, is referred to in this   
Agreement as the "FPA Business" (collectively, the "FPA Business").             

 On December 17, 1997, HE Holdings, Inc. merged with Raytheon Company, a
Delaware corporation ("Old Raytheon"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of    
Merger, dated as of January 16, 1997 (the "Hughes Merger Agreement"), between HE
Holdings, Inc. and Old Raytheon. HE Holdings, Inc. was the surviving corporation
in the merger, and thereafter changed its name to "Raytheon Company" (referred  
to herein as "Raytheon"). Raytheon and RSG own and operate the second generation
ground electro-optical business operated out of Raytheon's El Segundo,          
California and LaGrange, Georgia facilities that produces A-Kits and B-Kits for 
ground vehicles and other applications, including the IBAS, M-1 TIS, LRAS3 and  
HTI programs (collectively, the "Ground EO Business");                          

Pursuant to a Final Judgment filed on October 24, 1997 (the "Final    
Judgment") in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in  
Civil Case No. 97-2397 known as United States of America v. Raytheon Company,   
General Motors Corp. and HE Holdings, Inc., and a related Hold Separate and     
Partition Plan Stipulation and Order entered in the same case on October 24,    
1997 (the "Hold Separate Order"), Raytheon has agreed to promptly divest the FPA
Business and the Ground EO Business (collectively, the "Businesses") and,       
pending such divestiture, to maintain the Businesses as an independent          
competitor held separate from Raytheon; and                                     

     The Sellers desire to sell and the Buyer desires to purchase the Businesses
(the "Acquisition"), and this transaction and the resulting business combination
is intended to result in the preservation of competition and a critical         
capability that otherwise might be lost to the United States Department of      
Defense.

schedules, dated the date hereof and delivered separately as one or more volumes

   1.3. Determinations as to Mixed-Use Assets. (a) The Sellers and the Buyer
shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes as to whether any specific
assets (including, without limitation, any contracts and agreements) of the     
Sellers which relate to one of the Businesses and another business of one of the
Sellers are used primarily in, or relate primarily to either of the Businesses. 
Further, without limiting the foregoing, with respect to any asset necessary to 
and/or presently used in connection with either Business that is also used by   
either Seller in connection with another business, excluding any assets to be   
retained by a Seller and used to provide services pursuant to a Master Services 
Agreement (as defined in Section 9.11) and excluding these assets specifically  
excluded under Section 1.2, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to        
determine which business predominantly uses such asset in order that such party 
is vested with title thereof.                                                   

       (b) With respect to any shared use tangible assets, Sellers and the
Buyer will allocate between them the costs of maintenance, upkeep and 
    repair based on their respective amounts of use. The Sellers and the Buyer
 will also agree on time cut-offs for this shared usage, after which the
party owning such tangible assets shall have sole rights to use the   
equipment. Unless the parties otherwise agree, in no event will such  
    cut-off period exceed the earlier of five (5) years after the Closing Date
or the useful life of the equipment or, in the case of the Ground EO  
Business, when the Buyer vacates the premises subject to the Lease (as
   defined below). A list of the tangible assets subject to these shared use
     arrangements is set forth in Schedule 1.3(b). With respect to any contracts
     or licenses applicable to one of the Businesses and other businesses of the
  Seller, the Seller and the Buyer will cooperate to structure contractual
arrangements providing them both with the relevant economic and other 
   rights and obligations under such contract or license. These arrangements
may take the form of a subcontract or sublicense or causing the other 
parties to such contract or license to agree to split the contract or 
  license into two separate agreements. To the extent that any contract or
    agreement constituting part of the Acquired Assets is not capable of being
    assigned because of the failure to obtain any required third party consent
     or otherwise, the Seller and the Buyer shall enter into arrangements of the
type contemplated by Section 12.1. With respect to software and other 
  information technology assets, the Sellers and the Buyer will enter into
the transition and partition arrangements described in Section 12.9.  

 Article 2

 Assumption of Certain Obligations

     Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Buyer shall
not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any liability or obligation
of any nature, fixed or contingent or known or unknown, of the Sellers or       
relating to the operation of the Businesses prior to the Closing (including     
without limitation the Retained Environmental Liabilities referred to below),   
except that, at the Closing the Buyer shall assume, and agree to pay, perform,

of either Business after the Closing;                       

(ii) all expenses of the Sellers relating to either Business ("Assumed
       Expenses") and all trade payables of the Sellers relating to either

3.2); and                                                   

 (iii) any other liability or obligation of the Sellers relating to either
         Business arising with respect to the period prior to the Closing, but

or unknown, of the Sellers or relating to the operation of the Businesses prior

    (iv) except for any liability or obligation referred to in clauses (ii) or

      contracts (including the Assumed Contracts) in connection with the

          Article 17) relating to contracts entered into by the Sellers prior to
        Closing, (B) compliance with any governmental regulations applicable
 to the performance of such contracts prior to Closing and (C)

        extent that such liability arises out of any matter or circumstances
that occurred or existed on or before the Closing Date;     

 (vi) any alleged or actual liability and penalties for violations of or
  noncompliance with Environmental Laws, to the extent that such
     liability arises out of any matter that occurred or existed on or
          before the Closing Date (with the obligations and liabilities referred
         to in clause (v) and this clause (vi) collectively referred to as the
"Retained Environmental Liabilities"); and                  

   (vii) any obligations or liabilities under the Sofradir Contract or the PPI

"Purchase Price"), by wire transfer of same day funds. The Purchase Price and   
the liabilities assumed by the Buyer pursuant to Article 2 shall be allocated in
the manner set forth on Schedule 3.1 hereto. The Buyer and Sellers shall report

all federal, foreign, state, local and other Tax Returns (as defined in Article 
17) prepared and filed by or for either of the Buyer or the Sellers, in         
accordance with the basis of allocation set forth on Schedule 3.1 hereto. The   
Buyer and the Sellers further agree that they will prepare and file asset       
acquisition statements on Form 8594 reflecting such allocation and any          
Adjustment (as defined in Section 3.2(d)) with their Federal income tax returns 
for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date.                            

3.2. Purchase Price Adjustments.                                      

        (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall
    prepare and deliver to the Buyer audited statements of the Acquired Assets
  and Assumed Obligations of the Businesses as of the close of business on

EX-99.1 9th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 9th

 shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent
   with the December Balance Sheets (as defined in Section 5.5), except that
  (i) the Closing Balance Sheets will not contain an accrued liability for
any pending purchase order for capital equipment that has not been    
delivered and put in use as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Closing  
    Balance Sheets will not record a book value for any fixed assets that were
recorded on the December Balance Sheets at no book value. In addition,
   except as may be otherwise agreed by the Buyer, there shall be no changes
to the methodologies and assumptions used to prepare the reserves and 
   contract estimates reflected on the Closing Balance Sheets as compared to
the methodologies and assumptions used to prepare the December Balance
     Sheets. For those items, if any, where the December Balance Sheets were not
prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Closing Balance Sheets will be  
    prepared in accordance with GAAP and not on the same basis as the December
Balance Sheets.                                                       

        (b) When the Sellers deliver the Closing Balance Sheets, the Sellers
  shall also deliver a certificate (i) certifying that the Closing Balance
Sheets were prepared in accordance with paragraph (a) above, and (ii) 
   containing the Sellers' calculations, based on the Closing Balance Sheets
    and calculated in a manner consistent with the Model Statement (as defined
    below) (the "Sellers' Proposed Calculations"), of the Net Assets as of the
   Closing Date. As used in this Agreement "Net Assets" means the difference
  of (x) the book value of the total assets of the Businesses constituting
     the Acquired Assets less (y) the book value of the total liabilities of the
     Businesses constituting the Assumed Obligations, after giving effect to the
     adjustments referred to in paragraph (a) above. Attached hereto as Schedule
     3.2 is a preliminary statement of Net Assets as of December 31, 1997, based
 upon the December Balance Sheets and the procedures for calculating Net
Assets as provided above (the "Model Statement").                     

        (c) Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Balance
     Sheets and the accompanying certificate, the Buyer shall notify the Sellers
  of its agreement or disagreement with the Closing Balance Sheets and the
   accuracy of any of the Sellers' Proposed Calculations; provided, that the
     Buyer may only dispute the Closing Balance Sheets and the Sellers' Proposed
Calculations to the extent that they deviate from the requirements of 
    paragraphs (a) and (b) above. During such period, the Sellers shall afford
    the Buyer and its representatives reasonable access to any of the Sellers'
books, records and work papers, personnel, facilities and accountants 
     necessary to enable the Buyer and its representatives to review the Closing
Balance Sheets and the Sellers' Proposed Calculations. If the Buyer   
     disputes any such aspect of the Closing Balance Sheets or the amount of any
    of the Sellers' Proposed Calculations, then the Buyer shall have the right
  to direct its independent accountants, at the Buyer's expense, to review
and test the Closing Balance Sheets. The Buyer's representatives or   
 accountants shall complete their review and test within forty-five (45)
    days after the date the Buyer disputes the Sellers' Proposed Calculations.
   If the Buyer and its independent accountants, after such review and test,
    still disagree with the Sellers' Proposed Calculations, and the Sellers do
not accept the Buyer's proposed alternative calculation               

EX-99.1 10th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 10th

    (the "Buyer's Proposed Calculations"), then, within thirty (30) days after
  the date of the Sellers' rejection of the Buyer's Proposed Calculations,
the Sellers and the Buyer shall select a third nationally recognized  
    independent accounting firm (the "Independent Accounting Firm") to resolve
     the remaining disputed items (the "Remaining Disputed Items") by conducting
its own review and test of the Closing Balance Sheets and thereafter  
     selecting either the Buyer's Proposed Calculation of the Remaining Disputed
    Items or the Sellers' Proposed Calculation of the Remaining Disputed Items
   or an amount in between the two. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be
    instructed (i) that the scope of its review shall be limited solely to the
 Remaining Disputed Items, (ii) that it shall accept the Closing Balance
 Sheets and the Sellers' Proposed Calculations except to the extent that
 they deviate from the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and
     (iii) that it is to use every reasonable effort to complete such assignment
and deliver copies of such opinion and, if required, revised Closing  
Balance Sheets to the Buyer and the Sellers within thirty (30) days   
  following the date such Remaining Disputed Items are referred to it. The
   Buyer and the Sellers agree that they shall be bound by the determination
 of the Remaining Disputed Items by the Independent Accounting Firm. The
    fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid jointly
by the Buyer and the Sellers.                                         

        (d) Upon the determination pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
   3.2 of the definitive Closing Balance Sheets and the Net Assets as of the
Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be either (i) increased by the 
amount, if any, by which the amount of Net Assets is greater than     
     $28,453,598 or (ii) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the amount of
     Net Assets is less than $28,453,598 (the "Adjustment"); provided however in
   no event will any upward Adjustment exceed $7 million, unless the Closing
occurs after September 30, 1998 (in which event the maximum upward    
    Adjustment shall be subject to modification by the parties), in which case
an upward adjustment may exceed $7 million. If the Purchase Price is  
increased, the Buyer shall pay such amount to the Sellers, and if the 
Purchase Price is decreased, the Sellers shall pay such amount to the 
    Buyer. Any such payment shall be made in cash or same day funds within ten
   (10) days after the determination of the Adjustment pursuant to paragraph
     (c). Any such payment shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date
 preceding payment at a rate equal to the "Prime Rate" as set forth from
time to time in The Wall Street Journal "Money Rates" column from the 
Closing Date to the date preceding payment.

whether as a termination for convenience or for default of the applicable Seller
thereunder, or (ii) received any written cure notice or show cause notice (as   
defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 49, P. 49.607(a) and (b),

the Businesses, none of the Sellers has been notified of any violation of, and  
to the Sellers' knowledge none of the Sellers has engaged in any violation of,  
the Truth in Negotiations Act in the negotiation of any Government Contract (as 
defined in Article 17). Insofar as it relates to the Businesses, as of the date 
of this Agreement none of the Sellers has been notified of, and to the Sellers'

compliance with all obligations relating to any equipment or fixtures owned by  
any Governmental Entity and loaned, bailed or otherwise furnished to or held by 
any part of either of the Businesses, except where the failure to so comply     
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.    

5.10. Pensions and Benefits.                                          

         (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.10(a) hereto, as of the date of
this Agreement, no Seller maintains or has any obligation to make     
  contributions to, any employee benefit plan (an "ERISA Plan") within the
 meaning of Section 3(3) of the United States Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or any other retirement, profit
   sharing, stock option, stock bonus or other benefit program (a "Non-ERISA
Plan"), in either case, for the benefit of any officers, employees or 
consultants of either of the Businesses. The Sellers have heretofore  
   delivered or made available to the Buyer copies or summaries of each such
   ERISA Plan and Non-ERISA Plan and any associated funding instruments and,
 with respect to any such ERISA Plan, the most recently completed annual
   report (with any required attachments), the most recent IRS determination
     letter, and any other advisory opinions or rulings applicable to such Plan.

  (b) To the Sellers' knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule
5.10(b), all of the Sellers' ERISA Plans and Non-ERISA Plans have been
 maintained and operated in all material respects in accordance with all
     federal, state, provincial and local laws applicable to such plans, and the
terms and conditions of the respective plan documents.                

         (c) Each of the Savings Plans (within the meaning of Section 11.3) is
intended to constitute a qualified plan within the meaning of Section 
     401(a) of the Code, Sellers' intend to submit each such Savings Plan to the
   Internal Revenue Service for a determination of its qualified status in a
   timely manner, and to the knowledge of the Sellers' there is no reason to
believe that favorable determination letters will not be issued in due
course.

         (d) No collective bargaining agreements are currently in effect which
obligate Sellers to make contributions on behalf of any of the Assumed
Employees to any "employee pension benefit plan", or "employee welfare
benefit plan", as such terms are defined in Sections 3(2) and 3(1) of 
   ERISA, respectively, nor to any multiemployer plan, as defined in Section
3(37) of ERISA.                                                       

(e) Other than as described in this Agreement, no agreement,
 commitment or obligation exists on the part of any of the Sellers which
 would increase benefits available under any ERISA Plan or any Non-ERISA
     Plan or which require the adoption of any new plan or program by any Seller
with respect to employees of the Businesses.                          

   5.11. Intellectual Property. (a) The Sellers own or have the right to use
all EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Businesses on
the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except where the failure to own or  
have the right to use such EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property would not      
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. Pursuant to the
Intellectual Property Agreements (as defined in Article 9 hereof), and subject  
to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth therein, the Buyer shall, as
of the Closing Date, have the right to use, hold for use or otherwise exploit   
(to the extent set forth in the Intellectual Property Agreements) all the EO/FPA
Business Intellectual Property in the same manner in all material respects that 
such EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property is used, held for use or is otherwise
exploited by the Sellers in the applicable Business as of the date hereof and as
of the Closing Date. The EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property and the Assigned 
Intellectual Property are sufficient (except for any requirements of Buyer for  
commercial off the shelf software) in all material respects for the fulfillment 
by the Buyer of its obligations under the Supply Agreements as they exist as of 
the Closing Date and to conduct the operations of the Businesses immediately    
after the Closing Date in the same manner in all material respects as such      
operations were conducted prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this     
Section 5.11(a) are not intended to be and shall not be considered as any       
warranty or representation that Buyer's use of such EO/FPA Business Intellectual
Property shall be free from claims of infringement which may be made by third   
parties. The obligations of Sellers and the remedies of Buyer with respect to   
claims of infringement are solely as set forth in Section 13.1(v) below.        

    (b) The EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property (other than the TI
     Licensed Intellectual Property (as defined in the FPA Intellectual Property
Agreement)) is not subject to any material Encumbrances, other than   
    Permitted Encumbrances, and is not subject to any obligations inconsistent
  with the terms of the Intellectual Property Agreements. The Sellers have
used commercially reasonable measures to protect the secrecy,         
confidentiality and value of the EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property
(other than the TI Licensed Intellectual Property) material to the    
  operation of the Businesses. Subject to Section 5.11(e) below, no EO/FPA
 Business Intellectual Property (other than the TI Licensed Intellectual
 Property and any copyrighted material) material to the operation of the
   Businesses has been used, divulged or appropriated for the benefit of any
Person other than the Sellers, except where such use, divulgence or   
appropriation

     would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect
and except in the ordinary course of business in connection with the  
performance of contracts.                                             

          (c) Subject to Section 5.11(e) below, as of the date hereof, no Seller
has made any claim in writing of a violation, infringement, misuse or 
   misappropriation by others of rights of a Seller to or in connection with
any EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property.                            

          (d) As of the date hereof, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of
     Sellers, threatened claim by any third Person of a violation, infringement,
   misuse or misappropriation by the Seller in connection with either of the
   Businesses of any patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets owned
 by any third Person, or of the invalidity of any patent included in the
    EO/FPA Business Intellectual Property (other than TI Licensed Intellectual
  Property), that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
 Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Sellers, except for any matters
   previously disclosed to the Buyer in a letter agreement referring to this
   Section, the conduct of the Businesses by the Buyer following the Closing
    in the manner currently conducted by the applicable Seller will not result
 in the infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret
 owned by any third Person that would, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no interferences or other   
     contested inter parties proceedings, either pending or, to the knowledge of
the Sellers, threatened, in any domestic or foreign copyright office, 
  patent and trademark office or any other Governmental Entity relating to
any pending application with respect to any material EO/FPA Business  
Intellectual Property (other than TI Licensed Intellectual Property). 

      (e) As to the representations and warranties set forth above which
   have been made expressly subject to this paragraph, it is understood that
 with respect to the activities of HE Holdings, Inc., any predecessor in
    interest of HE Holdings, Inc. and any affiliates thereof prior to December
    17, 1997 such representation and warranties are made only to the extent of
the knowledge of Sellers.                                             

5.12. Governmental Consent. Except for (i) the approvals required with
respect to the DOJ and DOD (as such terms are defined in Section 7.1), (ii)     
consents to transfer or novations required with respect to contracts with       
governments or governmental agencies, (iii) consents and approvals required     
under U.S. export control laws and regulations and laws and regulations designed
to protect the national security of the United States, and (iv) for those items 
set forth on Schedule 5.12, no consent, approval or authorization of or         
registration, designation, declaration or filing with any Governmental Entity,  
on the part of any Seller, is required in connection with the consummation of   
any of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any approval,           
authorization, registration, designation, declaration or filing that, if not    
obtained or made, would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and would not       
materially adversely affect the ability of the Sellers to perform their         
respective obligations under this Agreement.

5.13. Compliance with Laws, Etc. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.13 
hereto, each of the Sellers (insofar as it relates to the operation of either of
the Businesses) is in compliance with all laws, statutes, governmental          
regulations and all judicial or administrative tribunal orders, judgments, writs
and injunctions and Permits (as defined in Section 5.20) applicable to it,      
except for any noncompliance that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.     
Except as set forth on Schedule 5.13, as of the date of this Agreement the      
Sellers have neither received nor know of the issuance of, any written notice   
from any Governmental Entity of any such violation or alleged violation.        

5.14. Status and Sufficiency of Tangible Assets. (a) Schedule 5.14(a) 
contains a true and complete list of all tangible personal property owned by or 
leased to the Sellers primarily in connection with the Businesses (the "Tangible
Personal Property") having an original cost equal to or greater than $25,000.   
With respect to Tangible Personal Property leased by the Sellers as lessee, all 
leases, conditional sale contracts, franchises or licenses pursuant to which the
Sellers may hold or use (or permit others to hold or use) such Tangible Personal
Property are as of the date of this Agreement valid and in full force and effect
in all material respects, and there is not under any of such instruments any    
existing default of the Sellers or, to Sellers' knowledge, of any other party   
thereto, or event of default of the Sellers or, to Sellers' knowledge, of any   
other party thereto or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would   
constitute such a default, except for any defaults that would not have a        
Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.14(a), the Sellers   
own, lease or have the legal right to use in all material respects all Tangible 
Personal Property used in the conduct of the Businesses. The Sellers have valid 
and subsisting leasehold interests in all the leased Tangible Personal Property,
free and clear of all claims except as specifically set forth in Schedule       
5.14(a), Permitted Encumbrances and claims which, individually or in the        
aggregate, do not have or are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse  
Effect.                                                                         

         (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.14(b), the Acquired Assets, the
Subleases and the Lease, when utilized by a labor force substantially 
   similar to that utilized by the Sellers for the Businesses as of the date
   of this Agreement, and taken together with the services to be provided by
  the Sellers pursuant to the Master Services Agreements, the partitioning
    and transition efforts to be completed pursuant to Section 12.9, the Lease
   and the Subleases, and the other assets to be made available to the Buyer
     as provided in Section 1.3, are sufficient in all material respects for the
    fulfillment by the Buyer of its obligations under the Supply Agreements as
they exist as of the Closing Date and are adequate to conduct the     
     operations of the Businesses immediately after the Closing Date in the same
manner in all material respects as such operations were conducted     
    immediately prior to the Closing Date. The preceding sentence shall not be
construed as a representation as to the adequacy or scope of the      
   intellectual property to be conveyed, licensed or sublicensed pursuant to
     the Intellectual Property Agreements, with respect to which the Sellers are
making representations and warranties as provided in Section 5.11.

          (c) The Acquired Assets constituting tangible personal property are in
     good working condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, have been properly
    maintained in all material respects, are suitable in all material respects
for the purposes for which they are used, and conform in all material 
respects to the requirements of all laws, ordinances and regulations  
applicable to their use and ownership or lease by the Sellers; and the
    buildings and structures containing the space to be subleased to the Buyer
     pursuant to the Subleases and leased to the Buyer pursuant to the Lease are
  suitable in all material respects and properly zoned for the purpose for
which they are currently used, have been properly maintained in all   
     material respects to the extent the applicable Seller is required to do so,
and there are no material outstanding work orders with respect to any 
     maintenance, repair or alterations to be performed by the applicable Seller
thereon.                                                              

5.15. Location of Inventories. Except for the EO Facilities and FPA   
Facilities, Schedule 5.15 hereto specifies all locations at which Inventories   
having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000 are located as of the date of   
this Agreement.

account that represented more than $50,000 of gross sales in 1997 of either of  
the Businesses and the amount of sales attributable to such customers during    
such period. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.16, as of the date of this       
Agreement no customer listed on Schedule 5.16 has terminated or materially      
reduced its purchases of merchandise or services from the Sellers.

          (a) (i) Each of the Businesses has been and currently is in compliance
  with all applicable Environmental Laws except where the failure to be in
 compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.                                                       

       (ii) Each of the Businesses has all licenses, permits and
   governmental consents required under Environmental Laws for the
          operation of the Businesses as presently conducted (the "Environmental
        Permits") and there are no violations, investigations or proceedings
   nor, to the knowledge of the Sellers, are any investigations or
        proceedings pending or threatened, with respect to the Environmental
          Permits except where the failure to have such Environmental Permits or
     where the violation, investigation or proceeding relating thereto
        would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
          Effect. Such Environmental Permits are listed on Schedule 5.20 hereto.

             (iii) Since January 1, 1997 and to the Sellers' knowledge prior
    to January 1, 1997, no notice, notification, demand, request for

  of the Businesses with respect to any alleged violation of any
    Environmental Law or liability thereunder, other than where such
    notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation,
 summons, complaint or order has been fully resolved, or where
  resolution would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.                                    

               (iv) To the Sellers' knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement,
   no Hazardous Substance has been discharged, generated, treated,
       manufactured, handled, stored, transported, emitted, released or is
          present at any property now or previously owned, leased or operated by
     any part of the Businesses in violation of any Environmental Law,
      which circumstance, individually or in the aggregate, would have a
Material Adverse Effect.                                    

    (b) Since January 1, 1997 and to the Sellers' knowledge prior to
     January 1, 1997, there has been no environmental investigation conducted of
which the Sellers have knowledge in relation to the Businesses or any 
    property or facility now or previously owned or leased with respect to the
    Businesses with respect to any matter which has had or would, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.                  

       (c) Insofar as it relates primarily to either of the Businesses, to
   the knowledge of the Sellers no event, condition, circumstance, activity,
     practice, action or plan of the Sellers has occurred or exists or is likely
to occur or exist, in each case which may interfere with or prevent   
 continued compliance, or which may give rise to any common law or legal
liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, suit,    
     proceeding, hearing, or investigation, based on or related to the disposal,
   storage, handling, manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
 or transport, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
  into the environment, of any Hazardous Substances, except for any of the
    foregoing which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
    of the Sellers, no part of the premises occupied or used by the Sellers in
   connection with the Businesses has been listed or proposed for listing on
    the National Priorities List of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency or comparable state or local governmental list.                

        (d) Insofar as it relates to the Businesses, to the knowledge of the
    Sellers no event has occurred or condition exists or operating practice is
being employed that could give rise to liability on the part of the   
Sellers, either at the present time or in the future, for any losses, 
 liabilities, damages (whether consequential or otherwise), settlements,
  penalties, interest, expenses and costs of responses (including any such
     liability on account of the right of any Governmental Entity or Person, and
  including closure expenses, costs of assessment, containment, removal or
 response (other than monitoring transportation or disposal of materials
required to be transported or disposed of in the ordinary course of   
   business consistent with past practice)), other than any of the foregoing
     which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, arising under any presently

    has been promulgated pursuant thereto, or common law, as a result of or in
    connection with, or alleged to be as a result of or in connection with the
following:                                                            

      (i)  the handling, storage, use, transportation or disposal of any

Article 11

 Employees and Employee Benefits

11.1. Hiring Employees.                                               

        (a) At the Closing, unless the Sellers and the Buyer otherwise agree
   the Buyer will offer employment to the persons listed on Schedule 11.1(a)
     unless otherwise indicated on that Schedule. In addition, the Buyer will be
    permitted to make offers of employment to the employees listed on Schedule
 11.1(b) (the "Optional Employees"). The Sellers will cooperate with the
  Buyer to arrange interviews with the Optional Employees. All such offers
  for Assumed Employees (as defined below) shall be for the same pay as in
  effect at Closing and benefits meeting the requirements of Section 11.2.
    Such offers and the benefits to be provided to the Assumed Employees shall
     recognize the date of hire and time of service with or as recognized by the
  Sellers for eligibility and vesting purposes under Buyer's benefit plans
    and policies, and in the case only of vacation for purposes of determining
  the amount of vacation allowed under Buyer's benefit plans and policies.
     All employees listed on Schedule 11.1(a) accepting such offers, but none of
the Optional Employees accepting such offers, are referred to in this 
   Agreement as "Assumed Employees" and their employment with the Buyer will
    be deemed to have commenced immediately after 11:59 p.m., applicable local
time, on the Closing Date.                                            

        (b) The Buyer agrees that, for a period of 60 days after the Closing
    Date, it will not cause any of the Assumed Employees hired by it to suffer
"employment loss" for purposes of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
   Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. ss.ss.2101-2109, and related regulations (the
"WARN Act") if such employment loss could create any liability for the
 Sellers, unless the Buyer delivers notices under the WARN Act in such a
   manner and at such a time that the Sellers bear no liability with respect
thereto.                                                              

11.2. Benefit Plans - General.                                        

   (a) Liabilities Generally. Except as expressly provided in this
    Agreement, Sellers shall retain exclusive liability and responsibility for
providing any and all                                                 

EX-99.1 34th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 34th
-34-

    benefits due and payable to or in respect of Assumed Employees and related
  participants and beneficiaries under any ERISA Plan or Non-ERISA Plan in
accordance with the terms of such plans and applicable law.           

   (b) Benefits Maintenance. Commencing as of the Closing Date and
continuing through the end of the sixth full calendar month after the 
Closing Date (the "Benefits Maintenance Period"), with respect to the 
  Assumed Employees, spouses and dependents and beneficiaries thereof (the
 "Eligible Individuals"), Buyer shall provide under its existing benefit
plans compensation, employee welfare plans and other employee benefits
 which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation
paid by the Sellers, and the plans and other benefits provided by the 
 Sellers' applicable ERISA and Non-ERISA Plans, immediately prior to the
    Closing Date. In determining whether benefits are substantially comparable
  in the aggregate there shall be disregarded the benefits of Sellers' and
    Buyer's defined benefit pension plans and retiree medical programs and the
  benefits of Sellers' stock options. Nothing herein shall be construed to
 require the Buyer to provide Assumed Employees with any retiree medical
   benefits or stock options. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
require Buyer to continue the employment of any Assumed Employee for a
specified period of time subsequent to Closing.                       

    (c) Welfare Coverages. Any employee welfare plans established or
maintained by Buyer in satisfaction of Section 11.2(b) which cover or 
 reimburse Eligible Individuals for medical or dental expenses ("Buyer's
   Medical Plans") shall not exclude from payment or reimbursements expenses
   attributable to any condition of an Eligible Individual on the basis that
 it is a pre-existing condition. The Buyer shall use its reasonable best
efforts to secure from its insurers an agreement, without the Buyer   
   incurring a substantial cost, to credit the dollar amount of all expenses
 incurred by the Eligible Individuals during the applicable plan year of
Buyer's Medical Plans in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of
   satisfying any deductible and co-payment requirements applicable for such
   year under Buyer's Medical Plans. During the Benefits Maintenance Period,
the Buyer shall maintain severance, reduction-in-force and            
    pay-in-lieu-of-notice benefits for the Assumed Employees no less favorable
   than the severance, reduction-in-force and pay-in-lieu-of-notice benefits
provided to such Assumed Employees by Sellers immediately prior to the
Closing Date and disclosed on Schedule 5.10.                          

        (d) COBRA Continuation Coverage. Sellers shall retain responsibility
     for providing healthcare coverage to all beneficiaries of current or former
employees of Sellers (without regard to whether such employees become 
Assumed Employees) who are receiving (or become entitled to receive)  
     continuation healthcare coverage pursuant to an election made under Section
   4980A of the Code or Sections 601-608 of ERISA ("COBRA")(such an election
    to be called a "COBRA election") arising as a result of a qualifying event
(as defined in COBRA) occurring prior to or on the Closing Date. Buyer
   shall be responsible for providing COBRA coverage attributable to a COBRA

EX-99.1 35th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 35th
-35-

   election made by an Assumed Employee (or any individual who constitutes a
qualified beneficiary under COBRA with respect to an Assumed Employee)
which relates to a qualifying event (as defined in COBRA) which occurs
after the Closing Date.                                               

          (e) Retiree Medical Benefits. Sellers shall be solely responsible for,
   and Buyer is specifically not assuming any pre- or post-Closing liability
or obligation for, any post-termination or retiree medical or dental  
     benefits ("Retiree Benefits") for which any Assumed Employee (or dependent)
  may have been eligible under Sellers' Welfare Plans prior to the Closing
 Date. Assumed Employees may be eligible to participate in a health plan
   offering Retiree Benefits to Buyer's employees after the Closing Date, to
    the extent that such benefits are made available under the terms of any of
   Buyer's Welfare Plans; provided, that notwithstanding any other provision
    of this Agreement to the contrary, an Assumed Employee's length of service
with Sellers shall only be counted under such plans, if at all, for   
purposes of eligibility and shall not, in any event, be counted for   
purposes of benefit accrual under such plan or plans.                 

          (f) Tuition Aid. Buyer shall pay, and Sellers shall promptly reimburse
    Buyer for, any tuition aid reimbursements in respect to Assumed Employees'
 course work approved by Sellers and commenced prior to the Closing Date
     which become payable after the Closing in accordance with and to the extent
    provided by Sellers' tuition aid program. Sellers shall provide Buyer with
    such information as Buyer may reasonably request to determine which and to
    what extent any such reimbursements to Assumed Employees are or may become
     due. From and after the Closing Date, Assumed Employees will be eligible to
participate in Buyer's tuition assistance program in accordance with  
Buyer's policies then in effect.                                      

          (g) Vacation. On or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall pay to each
   Assumed Employee the cash equivalent of his or her accumulated but unused
  time under the Sellers' Paid Time Off Policy. From and after the Closing
    Date, Assumed Employees shall receive annual vacation benefits pursuant to
    Buyer's vacation policy with credit for purposes of determining the amount
of any entitlement for service with or recognized by Sellers as of the
Closing Date.                                                         

         (h) Workers Compensation. Sellers shall remain responsible and liable
     for all worker's compensation claims relating to occupational illnesses and
     injuries of Assumed Employees that occurred or were incurred on or prior to
the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible and liable for Assumed   
Employees' worker's compensation claims relating to all occupational  
illnesses and injuries that occurred or are incurred subsequent to the
Closing Date.                                                         

11.3. Savings Plan. The Sellers will retain all liability and         
responsibility for the disposition of interests under the Raytheon TI Systems   
Savings Plan (the "RTIS Savings Plan") and the Raytheon Salaried Savings and    
Investment Plan (10011) (the "Hughes Savings Plan" and collectively, the        
"Savings Plans"), with respect to those employees (or their beneficiaries) of

the Businesses who, as of the Closing Date, are participants in one of the      
Savings Plans. The Sellers agree that they will cause the accounts in the       
Savings Plans of all such participants to be fully vested as of the Closing     
Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Sellers shall take such action, if any, 
as may be necessary (i) to cause the active participation of the Assumed        
Employees therein to cease as of the Closing Date, and (ii) to permit Assumed   
Employees to elect to take distributions (subject to and if and to the extent   
permitted by applicable law) of their accounts thereunder and, if such Assumed  
Employees so elect, to roll them over, directly or otherwise, in accordance with
applicable law and regulations, to an individual retirement account or to one or
more defined contribution retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code (the "Buyer Defined Contribution Plans") and maintained by Buyer or one of 
its subsidiaries, and the Buyer Defined Contribution Plans shall accept such    
rollovers (including to the extent applicable any plan loans). The parties      
acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Defined Contribution Plans are not required
in any case to accept "after-tax" contributions as part of any such rollover.   
Sellers agree to provide Buyer with copies of the initial IRS favorable         
determination letters with respect to the Savings Plans reasonably promptly     
following their receipt of the same.                                            

11.4. Pension Plans. The Sellers will retain all liability and        
responsibility for the disposition of interests under the Raytheon TI Systems   
Employees Pension Plan and the Raytheon TI Systems Supplemental Pension Plan and
Hughes Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan and Hughes Subsidiary Retirement Plan     
(collectively, the "Pension Plans"), with respect to those employees (or their  
beneficiaries) of the Ground EO Business or FPA Business who, as of the Closing 
Date, are participants in any of the Pension Plans. Effective as of the Closing 
Date, Sellers shall amend the Pension Plans so that, subject to the proviso set 
forth below,                                                                    

       (i) the service of the Assumed Employees with the Buyer, if any, in
 the Benefits Maintenance Period shall be recognized as service with the
Sellers for all plan purposes,                                        

     (ii) any compensation paid the Assumed Employees by the Buyer for
     services rendered in the Benefits Maintenance Period shall be recognized as
compensation paid by the Sellers for all plan purposes,               

          (iii) those Assumed Employees in the FPA Business participating in the
Raytheon TI Systems Employees Pension Plan and the Raytheon TI Systems
   Employees Supplemental Pension Plan who have at least 15 years of service
    as of the Closing Date, are at least age 50 as of the Closing Date, and do
   not terminate their employment with Buyer voluntarily, nor are terminated
  for cause, within two years of the Closing Date, will be treated as on a

  accruals under such Plan until first eligible for early retirement under
the relevant Plan,                                                    

        (iv) those Assumed Employees in the Ground EO Business participating
  in the contributory portion of the Hughes Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan
   who have at least 15 years of service "Continuous Service" (as defined in
that Plan) as of the later of (x) March 1,

   reduced Rule of 75 benefit otherwise provided to Participants laid off in
such circumstances, and                                               

          (v) those Assumed Employees in the Ground EO Business participating in

    Sellers or their Affiliates and do not (x) terminate their employment with
    Buyer voluntarily, nor (y) are terminated for cause (any termination other
    than (x) and (y) to be deemed a "Qualified Termination"), within two years
  of the Closing Date, shall be paid in cash by Sellers at the date of the
Assumed Employee's Qualified Termination or, if earlier, at the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, the value (determined as of each such
  Employee's cessation of benefit accruals under such Plan), as reasonably
 estimated by Sellers, of the difference between such reduced Rule of 75
benefit and the full Rule of 75 benefit such Assumed Employees might  
otherwise have qualified for,                                         

provided the Buyer shall have timely complied with any information request the  
Sellers shall reasonably make to effect all such recognitions and otherwise     
cooperated as reasonably requested by Sellers (including in collecting during   
the Benefits Maintenance Period applicable employee contributions in respect of 
Assumed Employees in the Ground EO Business who participate in the contributory 
portion of the applicable Pension Plan) to effectuate the provision of such     
benefit enhancements. The Sellers further agree that they will cause the accrued
benefit of each such employee under the Pension Plans as of the Closing Date to 
be fully vested as of the Closing Date.

Sellers' internal sales and marketing and other incentive plans relating to the 
Businesses (the "Incentive Plans"). Sellers shall timely pay the Assumed        
Employees all amounts accrued to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms

Buyers' incentive compensation arrangements.

acquire shares of stock issued by the Sellers or one or more of their affiliates
("Outstanding Options"), which may not become exercisable in full as of the     
Closing Date. In this paragraph, any Outstanding Option, or portion thereof,    
which is not exercisable as of the Closing Date is referred to as an "Unvested  
Outstanding Option". As and when each Unvested Outstanding Option expires in    
accordance with its terms, Sellers shall pay the holder thereof an amount equal 

EX-99.1 38th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 38th
-38-

to the difference between the aggregate value as of the Closing Date of the     
stock subject to such Unvested Outstanding Option, as reasonably determined by  
Sellers in accordance with the terms of the relevant plans, and the aggregate   
amount the holder of such Unvested Outstanding Option would have been required  
to pay in order to exercise such Option.                                        

Article 12

 Certain Covenants

          (a) To the extent that any agreement constituting part of the Acquired
Assets is not capable of being transferred by the Sellers to the Buyer
 pursuant to this Agreement without the consent, approval or waiver of a
    third Person, and such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, or if
    such transfer or attempted transfer would constitute a breach thereof or a
   violation of any law, rule or regulation in the absence of obtaining such
 an approval, nothing in this Agreement will constitute a transfer or an
 attempted transfer thereof. Each of the Buyer and the Sellers shall use
reasonable efforts at its own expense to obtain any such approvals.   

          (b) In the event that such consents, approvals and waivers referred to
    in paragraph (a) are not obtained then the Sellers and the Buyer will each
use reasonable efforts, each at its own expense and in compliance with
   applicable laws and regulations, to (i) provide to the Buyer the benefits
 and burdens of any such agreement, (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and
lawful arrangement, including subcontracting, designed to provide such
   benefits and burdens to the Buyer without incurring any obligation to any
  other Person other than to provide such benefits to the Buyer, including
     without limitation the appointment of the Buyer as the agent of the Sellers
  for purposes of such agreement, and (iii) enforce, at the request of the
    Buyer for the account of the Buyer, any rights of the Sellers arising from
     any such agreement. With respect to any files and documentation relating to
any such contracts that are subject to third party proprietary        
restrictions, the Sellers and Buyer will enter into arrangements as   
described above to transition these materials to the Buyer.           

12.2  Novation of Government Contracts.                             

     (a) As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Buyer shall
prepare (with the Sellers' assistance), in accordance with Federal    
Acquisition Regulations Part 42, (P) 42.12 and any applicable agency  
    regulations or policies, a written request meeting the requirements of the
   Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42, as reasonably interpreted by the
Responsible Contracting Officer (as such term is defined in Federal   
    Acquisition Regulations Part 42, (P) 42.1202(a)), which shall be submitted
   by Sellers to each Responsible Contracting Officer, for the United States
     Government (i) to recognize the Buyer as the Sellers' successor in interest
to all the Acquired Assets constituting a

Government Contract; and (ii) to enter into a novation agreement (a   
    "Novation Agreement") in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Buyer and the Sellers and their respective counsel, pursuant to which,
     subject to the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42,
all of Sellers' right, title and interest in and to, and all of the   
   Sellers' obligations and liabilities under, each such Government Contract
shall be validly conveyed, transferred and assigned and novated to the
Buyer by all parties thereto. The Sellers shall provide to the Buyer  
    promptly any information regarding the Sellers required in connection with
such request. The Sellers and the Buyer shall each use all reasonable 
efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the
     purpose of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreements
     with regard to any of the Government Contracts, including responding to any
 requests for information by the United States Government with regard to
  such Novation Agreements. Until such time as the Novation Agreements are
     completed, the Buyer and the applicable Seller will operate with respect to
the applicable Government Contract pursuant to the terms of an Agency 
Designation in the form of Exhibit K hereto and the Buyer agrees that 
    pending novation it will perform the terms of such Government Contracts as
the Sellers' agent.                                                   

         (b) In connection with obtaining the consents contemplated in Section
  12.2(a) hereof, the Sellers shall not consent to any modification of any
Government Contract included in the Acquired Assets without the prior 
   written consent of the Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

    The parties agree that until all Government Contracts have been novated in
accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Sellers shall wire to the     
Buyer all payments received by them with respect to any Government Contract     
performed by the Buyer and any of the billed and unbilled accounts receivables  
included as part of the Acquired Assets as provided above by wire transfer on a 
weekly basis, with interest at the prime rate less 1.5% for each day the Sellers
hold the funds more than one (1) business day, and the Sellers and Buyer will   
operate with respect to such Government Contract as provided in Section 12.1(b).

12.3. Access to Books and Records.                                    

       (a) The Buyer agrees to cooperate with and to make available to the
Sellers such documents, books, records or information relating to the 
operation of either of the Businesses prior to the Closing Date as the
Sellers may reasonably require after the Closing.                     

          (b) The Buyer agrees to preserve and protect all books, records, files
   and data referred to in paragraph (a) above for a period of six (6) years
after the Closing Date.                                               

      (c) The Buyer agrees not to destroy any files or records which are
    subject to this Section 12.3 (i) for the period described in clause (b) of
     this Section 12.3, and (ii) thereafter, without giving at least thirty (30)
days' notice to the Sellers. Upon receipt                             

EX-99.1 40th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 40th
-40-

   of such notice, the Sellers may (A) cause to be delivered to it the files
     or records intended to be destroyed, at the Sellers' expense, or (B) notify
 the Buyer that the Sellers will pay the cost of storing and maintaining
   such files or records (including any necessary costs of moving such files
or records to a location under control of the Sellers).               

12.4. Use of Certain Names. The Buyer agrees that promptly after the  
Closing Date it will cease using any references to the Sellers, TI, Hughes or   
any of their respective Affiliates, except to the extent permitted under        
Sections 2.6 or 2.7 of the EO Intellectual Property Agreement or Sections 2.6 or
2.7 of the FPA Intellectual Property Agreement.                                 

     12.5 Compliance With Final Judgment. After the Closing, the Buyer agrees to
be bound by the provisions of the Final Judgment. The Sellers acknowledge that  
after the Closing Date they will continue to be bound by the Final Judgment.    

  12.6 Certain FPA Test Equipment. With respect to the test equipment used
occasionally in the FPA Business and described in Schedule 12.6, the Buyer shall
continue to have access to such equipment as contemplated by Section 1.3. In    
addition, RTIS shall at its expense build equivalent test equipment for the     
Buyer's sole use and ownership at no charge to Buyer.                           

12.7. Extension of HTI Teaming Agreement and Associate Contractor     
Agreement.                                                                      

       (a) With respect to the Teaming Agreement, dated as of February 26,
1994 between Raytheon Company (as successor to Hughes Aircraft Company
     ("HAC")) and RTIS (as assignee of Texas Instruments Incorporated) (the "HTI
 Teaming Agreement") and the Associate Contractor Agreement, dated as of
    June 18, 1997 between Raytheon (as successor to HAC) and RTIS (as assignee
  of TI) (the "HTI ACA"), Raytheon is transferring its interest in the HTI
Teaming Agreement and the HTI ACA to the Buyer as part of the Acquired
    Assets relating to the Ground EO Business. RTIS and the Buyer shall extend
   the stated terms of the HTI Teaming Agreement and the HTI ACA to December
   31, 2004 on terms similar in scope to the existing arrangements except as
     contemplated by paragraph (b) below. The Buyer and Sellers also acknowledge
    that such an extension would require approval of the DOJ, DOD and the U.S.
Government customer.                                                  

   (b) The Sellers and the Buyer expect that the extensions of the
     relationship contemplated by paragraph (a) above would continue in the form
of an associate contractor arrangement, but that continuing to satisfy
their customer on the HTI program through an associate contractor     
arrangement will require the parties to maintain the performance and  
   cooperation shown to date by the HAC and TI (now Raytheon and RTIS) teams
    working on the HTI program. If their customer on the HTI program wishes to
    transition to a single contract environment, then the parties will convert
  their relationship to a prime/subcontractor relationship, with the prime
contractor to be                                                      

EX-99.1 41st Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 41st
-41-

designated by RTIS and the Buyer by mutual agreement, with RTIS as the
   preferred prime contractor. To the extent practicable, in connection with
  this conversion, the parties will structure the work share balance to be
similar to the current arrangements.                                  

    (c) The Sellers and the Buyer acknowledge that the foregoing are
  necessary for a successful business transition but additional activities
     such as an aggressive cost reduction program and forward production pricing
commitments will be required.                                         

   (d) The Sellers and the Buyer agree to proceed expeditiously to
    complete the extension contemplated by this Section 12.7 prior to Closing,
but completion of such extension is not a condition to Closing.       

 12.8. New LRAS3 Teaming Agreement and Extension of Associate Contractor
Arrangement.                                                                    

         (a) With respect to the LRAS3 program, and the existing EMD Associate
     Contractor Agreement (the "LRAS3 ACA"), subject to the approval of DOJ, DOD
and the U.S. government customer, Raytheon will enter into a Teaming  
 Agreement for the LRAS3 EMD program (the "LRAS3 Teaming Agreement") and
extend the LRAS3 ACA. The LRAS3 Teaming Agreement and the LRAS3 ACA as
    extended will have terms expiring December 31, 2004, and the LRAS3 Teaming
Agreement will have terms generally comparable to the HTI Teaming     
Agreement.                                                            

   (b) The Sellers and the Buyer expect that the extensions of the
     relationship contemplated by paragraph (a) above would continue in the form
of an associate contractor arrangement, but that continuing to satisfy
their customer on the LRAS3 program through an associate contractor   
arrangement will require the parties to maintain the performance and  
   cooperation shown to date by the HAC and TI (now Raytheon and RTIS) teams
    working on the LRAS3 program. If their customers on the LRAS3 program wish
to transition to a single contract environment, then the parties will 
    convert their relationship to a prime/subcontractor relationship, with the
prime contractor to be designated by RTIS and the Buyer by mutual     
agreement, with RTIS as the preferred prime contractor. To the extent 
     practicable, in connection with this conversion, the parties will structure
the work share balance to be similar to the current arrangements.     

    (c) The Sellers and the Buyer acknowledge that the foregoing are
  necessary for a successful business transition but additional activities
     such as an aggressive cost reduction program and forward production pricing
commitments will be required.                                         

12.9. Information Technology Transition. The Sellers agree that, in   
connection with the delivery of Acquired Assets and the treatment of shareduse  
assets contemplated by Section 1.3, they will take the steps required to obtain 
consents from software vendors or obtain new software licenses so that the Buyer
will have access to the software and information technology described in        
Schedule 12.9. A description of the scope of the transitioning work and         

EX-99.1 42nd Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 42nd
-42-

a budget and timetable is set forth in Schedule 12.9. The costs of completing   
this transaction as contemplated will be borne by the Sellers, but only up to   
the budgeted amounts in Schedule 12.9. At the Buyer's request, in connection    
with this transitioning work the Sellers will purchase or furnish software for  
the Buyer other than the software described in Schedule 12.9 and not including  
any software that is proprietary to the Sellers, subject to the maximum budgets 
set forth in Schedule 12.9. In the event that the Sellers and the Buyer are able
to mutually agree upon and implement changes to the partition plan described in 
Schedule 12.9 which result in cost savings to the budgets described in Schedule 
12.9, the Buyer will be entitled to payment of half of the saved amount, to be  
paid by Sellers to the Buyer to be used by the Buyer to establish its           
operational capability to compete effectively in the Businesses.                

     12.10 Pending REA. The Buyer acknowledges that the Pending REA is not being
transferred to the Buyer as part of the Acquired Assets. The Buyer agrees that  
it will not, at any time, assert or otherwise pursue the Pending REA against    
RTIS or any of its Affiliates. RTIS, both on its behalf and for its assignees   
and Affiliates, agrees that it will not pursue the Pending REA Claim against the
customer.                                                                       

12.11. Non-Solicitation.                                              

 (a) Prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) the Sellers
   shall not solicit to hire any individual who, on October 16, 1997, was an
  employee of either of the Businesses and (ii) the Sellers shall not hire
   any individual who, on October 16, 1997, was an employee of either of the
    Businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers may solicit to hire
   and hire any individual referred to above if such individual's employment
with the Buyer had previously been terminated by the Buyer.           

     (b) Prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) the Buyer shall
  not solicit to hire any individual listed on Schedule 12.11 and (ii) the
Buyer shall not hire any individual listed on Schedule 12.11.         
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may solicit to hire and hire any
individual referred to above if such individual's employment with the 
   Sellers or any subsidiaries of the Sellers had previously been terminated
by a Seller or such other subsidiary of a Seller.                     

   12.12. Mail and Other Communications Received After the Closing Date. The
Buyer and the Sellers will appoint representatives to discuss and agree upon    
procedures, for each of the locations subject to the Subleases and Lease        
Agreement, for the prompt receipt and delivery of mail or funds received by the 
Sellers but relating to the Businesses or received by the Buyer but relating to 
one of the Seller's other businesses.                                           

  12.13. Warranty Work. In the event any third party asserts a warranty or
similar claim in connection with the pre-Closing operation of the Businesses    
that constitutes a Retained Liability, then at the request of the Sellers the   
Buyer agrees to perform any required warranty repair or rework. The Sellers     
agree to reimburse the Buyer for its cost plus 5% fee incurred in connection    
with the foregoing.                                                             

EX-99.1 43rd Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 43rd

12.14. Interim Operating.                                             

       (a) With respect to the export licenses referred to in Schedule 9.5
  and 10.5, the Sellers and the Buyer will meet the appropriate government
    officials as promptly as practicable in order to assure a rapid transition
process and the Sellers will cooperate with and provide reasonable    
    assistance to the Buyer in connection with such transition process. During
a reasonable transition period but in any event only so long as it is 
 permitted by applicable law, at Buyer's request the Sellers will export
products of the Buyer under the Sellers' export licenses.             

       (b) With respect to the environmental permits set forth on Schedule
     12.14, the Sellers agree to permit the Buyer to operate under these permits
for a reasonable transition period. The Buyer agrees to operate in    
accordance with such permits. In addition, the Sellers will provide   
   reasonable assistance to the Buyer in connection with the Buyer obtaining
other required permits.                                               

     (c) The Buyer agrees to reimburse the Sellers for any outofpocket
     costs incurred in connection with the arrangements described in (a) and (b)
  above and to indemnify the Sellers against any claims or damages arising
     out of the arrangements described in (a) and (b) above except to the extent
     such claims or damages are caused by Sellers' gross negligence and willful.

12.15. Asbestos. In the event that the Buyer tears down walls or makes
other structural changes to any of the facilities subject to the Lease Agreement
or Subleases, it will be responsible for, and the Retained Liabilities will not 
include, any costs associated with remediating or removing asbestos in the areas
affected by such structural changes triggered by such structural changes.       

12.16. Palomar Products.                                              

        (a) With respect to Raytheon's EOS Supply Agreement dated October 6,
1995 (the PPI Supply Agreement") with Palomar Products Inc. ("PPI"),  
Raytheon will provide reasonable cooperation to assist the Buyer in   
  obtaining a separate supply agreement with PPI. In connection therewith,
   Raytheon will prior to the Closing provide its consent for PPI to utilize
    know-how and/or proprietary data provided to PPI by Raytheon in connection
with proposals for or in the manufacturing of product for the Buyer.  

         (b) In the event that the Buyer is unable to obtain a separate supply
arrangement with PPI, Raytheon will cooperate to buy products from PPI
under its EOS Supply                                                  

EX-99.1 44th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 44th

  Agreement on behalf of the Buyer and sell to the Buyer at the PPI price,
plus an administrative fee in the amount of 1.5%.                     

12.17. TI Lessor Documents. The Sellers agree to use commercially     
reasonable efforts (not requiring the payment of a consent fee or other amounts)
to obtain from TI nondisturbance agreements and landlord estoppel certificates  
relating to the Subleases, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer.        

    12.18. Physical Partitioning. In connection with the physical partitioning
provided for by the Transition Agreements to be entered into by the Sellers and 
the Buyer pursuant to the Lease Agreement and Subleases, in the event the       
Sellers and the Buyer are able to mutually agree upon and implement changes to  
the partition plans which result in cost savings to the Sellers as compared to  
their budgets (which are $14.2 million for Texas and $550,000 for El Segundo),  
the Buyer will be entitled to payment of half of the saved amount, to be paid by
the Sellers to the Buyer to be used by the Buyer to establish its operational   
capability to compete effectively in the Businesses.                            

    12.19. TI Trademarks. If the VIP, HDVIP and/or SLICE PROCESSING trademarks
are owned by one of the Sellers or one of their Affiliates, then such trademarks
shall be conveyed to Buyer for no consideration. If such trademarks are owned by
TI, the Sellers agree to use their reasonable best efforts, which will not      
require the payment by the Sellers of a transfer fee or other amount, to obtain 
these trademarks from TI, unless the Buyer agrees to reimburse Sellers therefor.
In the event the Sellers ever obtain these trademarks from TI, they will        
promptly transfer them to the Buyer for no consideration.                       

   12.20. Hughes Trademarks. In connection with the transition of tradenames
and trademarks contemplated by Sections 2.6 and 2.7 of the EO Intellectual      
Property Agreement, the Sellers and the Buyer agree that they will share 50/50  
the costs of such transition.                                                   

  12.21. Ordas and Hexagon Software. At or promptly after the Closing, the
Sellers will furnish to the Buyer a copy of the Sellers' Ordas and Hexagon      
software. The Buyer shall be responsible for all subsequent software            
maintenance. Raytheon hereby grants to Buyer, effective as of the Closing Date, 
a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free license to use the Ordas
and the Hexagon software.                                                       

12.22. Georgia Space.                                                 

         (a) With respect to RSG's facility in LaGrange, Georgia (the "Georgia
  Facility"), RSG agrees to provide space for one or more employees of the
    Ground EO Business working on printed circuit board fabrication on the HTI
  program. RSG and the Buyer estimate that this employee or employees will
     require approximately 150 square feet of space. RSG will provide this space
     so long as it is manufacturing circuit cards for the Ground EO Business for
  the HTI program, which it expects to complete by September 30, 1998. The
Buyer agrees that it will cause this employee or employees to comply  

EX-99.1 45th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 45th
-45-

     with RSG's rules and regulations. RSG will provide this space at no charge;
    however, the Buyer will reimburse RSG for any costs incurred in furnishing
 the space, with such reimbursement to be made promptly after reasonable
supporting documentation.                                             

         (b) With respect to the access described in paragraph (a) above, each
   of Raytheon and the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other
with respect to:                                                      

  (1) such party's breach of or noncompliance with any
      Environmental Law relating to such party's occupancy or use of the
Georgia Facility during such access period; and             

           (2) any act, omission, event or circumstance resulting in any
          release, discharge, disposal or emission on or adjacent to the Georgia
          Facility, or release, discharge, disposal or emission from or adjacent
      to the Georgia Facility, of any Hazardous Substance, regardless of
  whether the act, omission, event or circumstance constituted a
      violation of any Environmental Law at the time of the existence or
     occurrence, to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such
         party, its employees, contractors or other invitees, agents, officers
or directors, occurring during such access period.          

   12.23. Termination of Agreement. The Sellers agree that, in the event the
condition referred to in Sections 9.4 and 10.4 is met, the Sellers will         
terminate the Prior Sale Agreement.                                             

     12.24. Provision of Financial Information. Sellers shall provide reasonable
cooperation in providing information and documentation as (i) may be reasonably 
required by the Buyer in connection with its financing arrangements and (ii) may
be reasonably necessary for Buyer to comply with applicable securities laws. The
Buyer will reimburse the Sellers for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in     
connection with the foregoing, including the fees of its outside accountants.   

12.25. License Grants.                                                

          (a) RTIS hereby grants to the Buyer, effective upon the Closing, (i) a
non-exclusive, irrevocable, non-transferable (except an assignment    
permitted under Section 18.3), world-wide, royalty free, fully paid up
    license to use the patents described on Schedule 12.25 to make, have made,
    use, develop, have developed, sell, offer for sale, distribute, export and
    import A-Kits and B-Kits and components thereof for use in connection with
  and for purposes of ground-based applications only and (ii) an option to
acquire a non-exclusive, irrevocable, non-transferable (except an     
assignment permitted under Section 18.3), world-wide, royalty-bearing 
    license to use the patents described on Schedule 12.25 to make, have made,
    use, develop, have developed, sell, offer for sale, distribute, export and
    import electro-optical products, future generations thereof and components
thereof.                                                              

EX-99.1 46th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 46th
-46-

   (b) As a condition to the exercise of the option referred to in
  paragraph (a)(ii) above, RTIS and the Buyer will agree on the terms of a
reasonable royalty to be paid with respect to such license.           

12.26. Other Cooperation.                                             

          (a) To the extent that the Businesses as conducted by the Sellers have
benefited from volume discounts for germanium available to Sellers for
purchases made for the Businesses' and the Sellers' other operations  
("volume discounts") and so long as the Sellers' are able to obtain   
germanium at prices more favorable than those available to Buyer, the 
Sellers agree to provide reasonable cooperation to the Buyer after the
Closing Date to combine orders for germanium (or use other similar    
    commercially reasonable methods) to ensure the availability of such volume
 discounts for purchases made for the Businesses after the Closing Date.

Article 13

 Indemnity

13.1. Indemnification by the Sellers.                                 

    The Sellers, jointly and severally and subject to the applicable
   limits of liability hereinafter set forth, agree to defend, indemnify and
hold the Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates)
    harmless from and with respect to any and all claims, liabilities, losses,
  damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel), net of insurance proceeds received
  (collectively, "Losses"), incurred by the Buyer or any of its directors,
  officers, employees or Affiliates, in connection with or arising out of:

             (i) any breach by the Sellers of any representation or warranty
contained in Article 5 hereof;                              

           (ii) any breach by the Sellers of any covenant, obligation or
undertaking made by the Sellers in this Agreement;          

      (iii) any of the Retained Liabilities, including without
      limitation any Retained Environmental Liabilities and the Sellers'
    failure to timely discharge any of the Retained Liabilities; and

               (iv) any Defective Pricing Claims relating to proposals submitted
       by Sellers prior to the Closing Date and relating to the Businesses
     which have not resulted in definitive contracts as of the Closing
       Date, and any failure of such proposals to comply as of the Closing
with government regulations applicable to the making of such
       proposals, but in each case only if the Buyer does not subsequently
    amend or modify the costs or pricing data forming a part of such

EX-99.1 47th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 47th
-47-

 proposals after the Closing Date (other than any amendment or
        modification relating solely to the transfer of such proposal to the
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement) ("Open Bid Claims")       

           (v) any claim made or suit brought against Buyer prior to the
   fifth anniversary of the Closing Date alleging that the Buyer's
         making, having made, using, selling, offering for sale, distributing,
exporting or importing EO/FPA Products (as defined below) or
         practicing EO/FPA Processes (as defined below) in connection with the
 FPA Business and/or Ground EO Business (a "Covered Activity")
 infringes any intellectual property right of any third party;
        provided, however, that (1) Sellers shall be given exclusive control
         of the defense of such claim or suit and all negotiations relative to
the settlement thereof, but Buyer shall have the right to be
        represented in any such claim or suit by advisory counsel of its own
       selection at is own expense and Sellers shall consult with any such
        advisory counsel regarding the defense of any such claim or suit and
      advise any such advisory counsel with respect to the settlement of
  such claim or suit, (2) Buyer assists Sellers by providing all
information in Buyer's possession relevant to the defense or
          settlement of any such claim or suit, which is reasonably requested by
      Sellers, (3) Buyer promptly informs Sellers in writing of any such
         claim of infringement or threat of any such claim (provided, however,
        that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve Sellers of
their obligations hereunder except to the extent Sellers are
       prejudiced by such failure), (4) the claimed infringement arises as
      the result of Covered Activities related to the EO/FPA Products or
          EO/FPA Processes and not as a result of any modifications thereto made
      by Buyer or as a result of combinations of any EO/FPA Product with
      other components or any combination of any EO/FPA Process with any
    other process, (5) if the claimed infringement can be avoided by
    modifications to the EO/FPA Products requested by Sellers, Buyer
        agrees to make such modifications at Sellers' expense, provided that
          the form, fit and function of the EO/FPA Product and the manufacturing
 cost (including capital costs) for such EO/FPA Product is not
adversely affected in any material way, (6) if the claimed  
         infringement can be avoided by modifications to the applicable EO/FPA
        Process requested by Sellers, Buyer agrees to make such modification
        at Sellers' expense, provided that the utility of the EO/FPA Process
       and any related manufacturing cost (including capital costs) is not
        adversely affected in any material way, and (7) the Covered Activity
          is authorized by and within the scope of any applicable license grant,
     the claimed infringement is not the result of Buyer's loss of any
     intellectual property rights arising out of Buyer's breach of any
          contractual obligations and the claimed infringement is not a claim of
         infringement of TI Licensed Intellectual Property made by TI based on
         Buyer's activities outside the scope of the sublicense grant to Buyer
       of TI Licensed Intellectual Property. Sellers' liability under this
         paragraph (v) is subject to the applicable provisions of Section 13.4
     below. The Sellers will not make a settlement without the Buyer's
  prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, if as a

   result of such settlement the Buyer would incur any obligation,
       including if the Buyer would incur an obligation under the terms of
        the proposed settlement not covered by the Sellers' indemnity, or if
         such settlement would otherwise result in any detriment to the Buyer.
      Sellers' obligations under this paragraph (v) shall not apply with
          respect to infringement claims (x) arising out of patents issued after
        the date of this Agreement or (y) with respect to claims arising out
 of performance of contracts or supply of goods or services to
       government agencies where the Covered Activities are subject to the
       provisions of 28 U.S.C. 1498 or equivalent United States or foreign
 law or regulation. For purposes of this paragraph (v) "EO/FPA
      Product(s)" shall mean any EO Products or Transferred FPA Products
       which have either been manufactured and offered for sale by Sellers
       immediately prior to the Closing Date in connection with either the
          FPA Business or the Ground EO Business or which are described in pages
70 to 78 of the Raytheon Electro-Optical Systems Descriptive
       Memorandum of November, 1997 ("Offering Memorandum") and an "EO/FPA
      Process" shall mean any process being practiced by Sellers for the
          manufacture of EO/FPA Products in connection with the operation of the
        Ground EO Business or the FPA Business prior to the Closing Date, or
     which are described in pages 70 to 78 of the Offering Memorandum.

 13.2. Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the applicable limits of
liability hereinafter set forth, the Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold 
the Sellers (and their directors, officers, employees and Affiliates) harmless  
from and with respect to any and all Losses incurred by the Sellers or any of   
their directors, officers, employees or Affiliates arising out of:              

 (i) any breach by the Buyer of any representation or warranty
contained in Article 6;                                               

(ii) any breach by the Buyer of any covenant, obligation or 
   undertaking made by the Buyer in this Agreement (including the assumption
referred to in Article 2);                                            

          (iii) the transfer to or use by the Buyer of the Personnel Records; or

  (iv) except for the Retained Liabilities, the operation of the
     Businesses or the use of the Acquired Assets in the operation thereof after
the Closing Date.                                                     

   13.3. Time Limitations. Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall be liable
to the other under this Article 13 for any claim relating to a breach of any

"Representation Claim") unless in the case of any Representation Claim, other   
than under Section 5.4 ("Title Claims"), Section 5.10 ("ERISA Claims"), Sections
5.13 ("NonCompliance Claims") or Section 5.17 ("Enviro Claims"), the claim is

of the Closing Date. An Title Claim, ERISA Claim, Enviro Claim, Open Bid Claim  
and any claim under Sections 13.1(ii) or 13.1(iii) or 13.2(ii) or 13.2(iii) or  
13.2(iv) may be made at any time in the future, subject to any applicable       
statute of limitations.                                                         

13.4. Dollar Thresholds.                                              

          (a) Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall be liable to the other for
any Representation Claim (i) if the total Losses with respect to such 
  Representation Claim, including any Representation Claims arising out of
     the same event or series of related events, do not exceed $10,000 (a "Minor
   Claim") or (ii) except to the extent that the cumulative amount of Losses
     with respect to all Representation Claims asserted against the Buyer or the
    Sellers, as applicable, excluding Minor Claims, exceeds $500,000, and then
  only to the extent of such excess. Indemnification claims under Sections
13.1(ii) or 13.1(iii) or 13.1(iv) or 13.1(v) or 13.2(ii), 13.2(iii) or
13.2(iv) shall not be subject to any threshold or deductible amount.  

          (b) The total amount payable by the Sellers under Section 13.1(i) with
     respect to all Representation Claims, other than Title Claims, ERISA Claims
     and Enviro Claims and Representation Claims that also fall within the scope

 ("Infringement Claims"), shall not exceed $18,000,000, the total amount
  payable with respect to Open Bid Claims shall not exceed $22,190,000 and
    the total amount payable under Section 13.1(ii) or Section 13.1(iii) shall
 not be subject to any cap on liability. The total amount payable by the

    less any amounts paid with respect to other Representation Claims and with
  respect to Infringement Claims. All Representation Claims that also fall
  within the scope of Section 13.1(iv) shall be treated as Open Bid Claims

   under Section 13.2(i) with respect to all Representation Claims shall not
     exceed $18,000,000 and the total amount payable by the Buyer under Sections

13.5. Indemnification Procedures.                                     

   (a) In the event that any party hereto (an "Indemnified Party")
     desires to make a claim against another party hereto other than pursuant to
 Section 13.1(v) (the "Indemnifying Party", which term shall include all
Indemnifying Parties if there be more than one) in connection with any
   action, suit, proceeding or demand at any time instituted against or made
 upon it for which it may seek indemnification hereunder (a "Third-Party
     Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party
   in writing of such Third-Party Claim and of its claims of indemnification
   with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure to provide such
   notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under
this Article 13 except to the                                         

EX-99.1 50th Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 50th
-50-

    extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt
    of such notice from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and 
  assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and in the case of such an
  assumption the Indemnifying Party shall have the authority to negotiate,
compromise and settle such Third-Party Claim; provided, that (i) the  
 Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to settle any such Third-Party
   Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless as part of such
settlement the Indemnified Party is released from all liability with  
respect to such Third-Party Claim and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall
 cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of
such Third Party Claim, and provide all information possessed by the  
     Indemnified Party relevant to the defense or settlement of such Third Party
Claim.                                                                

      (b) The Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own
 counsel and to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the
     defense of which has been assumed by an Indemnifying Party pursuant hereto,
 but the claimant shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own
costs and expenses in connection with such participation.             

    13.6. Election of Remedies. In the event the Buyer has a claim which falls
within the scope of more than one subparagraph of Section 13.1, the Buyer shall 
be free to elect the subparagraph pursuant to which it asserts its claim (or to 
assert its claim in the alternative under more than one subparagraph), except as
provided in the third sentence of Section 13.4(b). In the event the Sellers have
a claim which falls within the scope of more than one subparagraph of Section   
13.2, the Sellers shall be free to elect the subparagraph pursuant to which they
asserts their claim (or to assert their claim in the alternative under more than
one subparagraph). Any claim which falls within the scope of Retained           
Liabilities shall not be subject to the time and monetary limitations set forth 
in Sections 13.3 and 13.4 even if such claim may also arise under any other     
provisions of this Agreement under which recovery may otherwise be subject to   
such limitations.                                                               

   13.7. Environmental Matters. Section 4(g) of the Sublease relating to the
S/C Building and Section 3(f) of the Sublease relating to the Research West     
Building provide that, with respect to indemnification for certain environmental
matters, RTIS will have the burden of proof to establish that such matter for   
which indemnity is claimed was caused in part or entirely by Buyer, or in part  
or entirely by a third party (other than TI under certain circumstances). That  
burden of proof will also apply to any claim under this Article 13 relating to  
Retained Environmental Liabilities and the facilities subject to the Subleases. 

 13.8. Scope of Indemnity. Except as provided in Article 14, each of the
Sellers and the Buyer acknowledges that, except for equitable relief, including 
specific performance, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all 
claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the
indemnification provisions of this Article 13.

Article 14

 Tax Matters

14.1. General. The Sellers shall remain responsible for all Taxes (as 
defined in Article 17) of the Sellers payable in connection with the operation  
of either of the Businesses through the closing of business on the business day 
immediately preceding the Closing Date, except for any Taxes that constitute    
Assumed Obligations. The Sellers shall also remain responsible for the filing of
all related Tax Returns (as defined in Article 17).                             

14.2. Cooperation on Tax Matters; Conduct of Proceedings.             

      (a) The Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the
extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the
   preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article 14 and any
audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such     
cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's   
request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably
 relevant to such preparation and filing and to any audit, litigation or
other proceeding relating thereto and making employees available on a 
     mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation
of any material provided hereunder.                                   

 (b) The Sellers shall be responsible for defending any audit,
     litigation or other proceeding with respect to any Taxes of the Sellers for
    which the Sellers are wholly or partially responsible for payment pursuant
  to this Article 14 and shall have the authority to negotiate, compromise
and settle any such audit, litigation or other proceeding.            

14.3. Allocation of Transfer and Property Taxes.                      

(a) All excise, sales, use, value added, registration stamp,
    recording, documentary, conveyancing, franchise, property, transfer, gains
 and similar Taxes, levies, charges and fees including any deficiencies,
   interest, penalties, additions to Tax or additional amounts excluding any
   Income Taxes (collectively, "Transfer Taxes") incurred in connection with
     the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Intellectual
    Property Agreements) shall be shared equally by the Buyer and the Sellers.
  Buyer and Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of
 all Transfer Taxes and shall cooperate in providing each other with any
appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar         
 documentation. The party that is required by applicable law to make the
    filings, reports or returns and to handle any audits or controversies with
   respect to any applicable Transfer Taxes shall do so, and the other party
shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary.                    

       (b) All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad
valorem obligations levied with respect to the Acquired Assets for a  
taxable period which                                                  

EX-99.1 52nd Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 52nd

includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the    
   "Apportioned Obligations") shall be apportioned between Sellers and Buyer
    based on the number of days of such taxable period which fall on or before
    the Closing Date (this and any other tax period which includes one or more
     days falling on or before the Closing Date, a "Pre-Closing Tax Period") and
the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (a   
   "Post-Closing Tax Period"). Except to the extent reflected on the Closing
  Balance Sheets as an Assumed Obligation, Sellers shall be liable for the
    proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing
Tax Period. Buyer shall be liable for any such taxes attributable to a
Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent reflected on the Closing Balance 
Sheets as an Assumed Obligation and Buyer shall be liable for the     
     proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing
  Tax Period. Upon receipt of any bill for real or personal property taxes
    relating to the Acquired Assets, each of Sellers and Buyer shall present a
   statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which
    each is entitled under this Section together with such supporting evidence
     as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration
amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within 30 days
     after delivery of such statement. In the event that either Sellers or Buyer
 shall make any payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under
     this Section, the other party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in
 no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement
    setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is
    entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to
calculate the amount of reimbursement.                                

14.4. Allowable Taxes.                                                

    (a) For purposes of this Section, "Allowable Tax" shall mean the
    allocable share of any Tax of any Seller or any of its Affiliates which is
    an allowable cost under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 CFR Chapter
 1, and associated regulations and agreements between any Seller and any
    U.S. governmental entity, allocated based on the Sellers' existing finance
policy (as it is in effect on the date hereof).                       

      (b) If Sellers have paid or reimbursed Buyer for any Allowable Tax
     which is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer agrees to repay to
    Sellers promptly upon receipt any portion of such Allowable Tax that Buyer
or any of its Affiliates is ultimately able to recover from the United
States government.                                                    

        (c) If Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives a refund with respect
     to an Allowable Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer
  shall pay to Sellers the amount of such refund reduced by the amount, if
    any, that Buyer will be required to pay to the United States government or
suffer by reason of offset in accordance with the Federal Acquisition 
 Regulation, 48 CFR Chapter 1, and associated regulations and agreements
between Seller and any U.S. governmental entity. If Sellers receive a 
refund after the Closing Date with respect to an Allowable Tax that is
 attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Sellers will pay to Buyer the
amount, if any, which Buyer will be                                   

EX-99.1 53rd Page of 64 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 53rd

    required to pay to the U.S. government, or suffers by reason of an offset,
in accordance with the foregoing regulations.                         

(d) Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate with respect to the
 calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Section and to give
each other written notice of events reasonably likely to result in the
     increase or decrease of any Allowable Tax attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax
Period.                                                               

14.5. Scope of Article 14.                                            

       (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13, the provisions of
this Article 14 (and not Article 13) shall govern the allocation of   
responsibility between the Sellers and the Buyer for Taxes of the     
Businesses.                                                           

     (b) Claims under this Article 14 may be made by the Buyer and the
  Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations
applicable to the Tax matter to which the Claim relates.              

14.6. Payroll Taxes. To the extent such treatment is permitted by     
applicable law, for purposes of computing payroll taxes since December 31, 1997,
the Sellers will be treated as a predecessor employer and Buyer agrees to treat 
the Sellers as such.                                                            

Article 15

without liability to the non-terminating party on account of such termination,  
if: (i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 1998 or, 
in the event the DOJ provides an extension as contemplated by Section IV of the 
Final Judgment, until the end of such extension, other than as a consequence of

Agreement shall terminate without any further action of the parties hereto.

remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

  this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or to the acquisition of the
   Businesses by the Buyer shall be settled by arbitration before a panel of
three (3) arbitrators (with one designated by the Sellers and one     
   designated by the Buyer, and the third arbitrator designated by the first
 two) pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any
   arbitrator designated by the Sellers or the Buyer must be an "Independent
  Person". For the purposes of this Section 18.14, an "Independent Person"
     shall be an individual who is not and has not been (i) a director, officer,
     employee, agent or shareholder of either party hereto, (ii) a consultant to
 either party hereto, (iii) a person with a direct or indirect financial
     interest in any contract with either party hereto, (iv) a director, officer
 or key employee of a company at a time when such company was party to a
     contract with either party hereto, or (v) a relative of any person referred
  to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. As used in the immediately
preceding sentence, the term "either party hereto" shall be deemed to 
  include any Affiliates of the parties hereto. Any such arbitration shall
  take place in Boston, Massachusetts. Arbitration may be commenced at any
time by any party hereto giving written notice to the other party or  
 parties hereto that such dispute has been referred to arbitration under
  this Section 18.14. The third arbitrator shall be selected as prescribed
   above, but if the first two (2) arbitrators do not so agree within thirty
 (30) days after the date of the notice referred to above, the selection
     shall be made pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association
   from the Commercial Arbitration Panel maintained by such Association. Any
    award rendered by the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding upon the
     parties hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied
   by a written opinion of the arbitrators giving the reasons for the award.
     In making such award, the arbitrators shall be authorized to award interest
     on any amount awarded. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically
enforceable by the Sellers and the Buyer and the decision of the      
 arbitrators in accordance herewith shall be final and binding and there
  shall be no right of appeal therefrom. Each of the Sellers and the Buyer
shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the     
arbitrators shall be equally shared; provided, however, that if in the
opinion of a majority of the arbitrators any claim or any defense or  
objection thereto was frivolous or in bad faith, the arbitrators may  
   assess, as part of the award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses
of the other party (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and of the  
   arbitrators against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense or

   (b) To the extent that arbitration may not be legally permitted
    hereunder and the Sellers and the Buyer do not at the time of such dispute
or claim mutually agree to submit such dispute or claim to arbitration
   either the Sellers or the Buyer may commence a civil action in a court of
 appropriate jurisdiction to solve disputes or claims hereunder. Nothing
 contained in this Section 18.14 shall prevent the Sellers and the Buyer
from settling any dispute or claim by mutual agreement at any time.   

      (c) Neither party shall be precluded hereby from seeking, from the
     courts of any jurisdiction, provisional or equitable remedies of a type not
available in arbitration, including without limitation, temporary     
    restraining orders and preliminary or permanent injunctions, nor shall the
pursuit of such provisional or equitable relief constitute a waiver or
    modification of such party's right and obligation to arbitrate any related
   or unrelated dispute which is otherwise subject to arbitration under this
  Agreement, unless such waiver is expressed in writing and signed by such
     party. In the event any Person not a party to this Agreement shall commence
any interpleader or similar action which either directly or indirectly
   raises issues which are subject to arbitration hereunder, the Sellers and
the Buyer shall seek a stay of such proceedings pending arbitration in
accordance with this Agreement.                                       

       (d) In the event of any Third Party Claim or any Infringement Claim
where the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third
  Party Claim, nothing in this Section 18.14 shall prevent the Indemnified
Party from impleading the Indemnifying Party or otherwise joining the 
    Indemnifying Party to any litigation relating to such Third Party Claim or
Infringement Claim.
