Item 4. Description of Securities

        Not applicable.


Item 5. Interests of Named Experts or Counsel

        Not applicable.


Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
sets forth provisions permitting and, in some situations, requiring Delaware
corporations, such as the Company, to provide indemnification to their directors
and officers for losses and litigation expense incurred in connection with their
service to the corporation in those capacities.

          Article X of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides as follows:

          "Section 1. Limited Liability of Directors. A director of the
Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Neither
the amendment nor repeal of Section 1 of this Article X shall eliminate or
reduce the effect of Section 1 of this Article X in respect of any matter
occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for Section 1 of this
Article X would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment or repeal.

          Section 2. Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Right to
Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be
made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by
reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director
or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity
as a director o officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or
officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgment, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred

                                       5

or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer, and
shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators;
provided however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in
connection with a proceeding (or party thereof) initiated by such person only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall
include the right to have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending
any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; any advance payments to
be paid by the Corporation within 20 calendar days after the receipt by the
Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such
advance or advances from time to time, provided, however, that, if and to the
extent the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer in such person's capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or
officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon
delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director
or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced from time to time by the Board,
grant rights to indemnification, and rights to have the Corporation pay the
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent
of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and
advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

          (b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of
this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 calendar days
after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at
any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall
be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a
defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of
conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of providing such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the
DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Claimant has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create
a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

          (c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person (including, without limitation, any person other than a officer
or director of the Corporation) may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote of
Stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification
of this Article shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any
director or officer of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or
matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

                                       6
          (d) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense,
to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the DGCL.

          (e) Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article X
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
(1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of
this Article X containing any such provisions held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested
by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable."

          In addition, the Company maintains insurance for the benefit of its
directors and officers, and directors and officers of its subsidiaries, against
liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated proceedings
and under certain stated conditions.

Item 9. Undertakings

        (a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a 
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the 
effective date of this Registration Statement, (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually, or in the aggregate, 
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the 
registration statement;

                                       8

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of 
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any 
material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply 
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by 
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant 
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2)     That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new 
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the 
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial 
bona fide  offering thereof.

(3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any 
of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of 
the offering.

(b)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of 
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the 
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an 
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration 
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the 
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time 
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide  offering thereof.

(c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of 
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a 
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by 
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or 
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, 
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling 
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant 
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by 
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the 
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as 
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final 
adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,

                              ARTICLE I - PREAMBLE

The Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan"), which became effective
January 1, 1984, provides employees with a tax-effective means of allocating a
portion of their salary to be invested in one or more investment opportunities
specified in the Plan as determined by the employee and set aside for short-term
and long-term needs of the employee. The Plan is applicable only to eligible
employees who meet the requirements for membership on or after January 1, 1984.
It is intended that the Plan will comply with all of the requirements for a
qualified profit sharing plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code and will be amended from time to time to maintain compliance with
these requirements. The terms used in the Plan have the meanings specified in
Article XIV unless the context indicates otherwise. The Plan is intended to
constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, ss. 2550.404(c)-1.
Participants in the Plan are responsible for selecting their own investment
opportunities from the options available under the Plan and the Plan fiduciaries
are relieved of any liability for any losses which are a direct and necessary
result of investment instructions given by a participant or beneficiary.

The Plan as restated herein shall be effective as of January 1, 1994 or such
other dates as may be specifically provided herein or as otherwise required by
law for the Plan or either of the Merged Plans referred to in Section 13.6 to
satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code. The rights of former
Employees whose Severance from Service Date occurred prior to the date of any
amendment shall be governed by the terms of the Plan in effect on their
Severance from Service Date except as otherwise provided herein.

                            ARTICLE II - ELIGIBILITY

2.1 Eligibility Requirements - Present Employees -- Each Eligible Employee whose
Employment Commencement Date is on or after November 1, 1983, may join the Plan
as of the first Pay Period coincident with or next following completion of a
Period of Service of three (3) consecutive months commencing on said Employment
Commencement Date. Each Eligible Employee whose Reemployment Commencement Date
is on or after November 1, 1984, may join the Plan as of the first Pay Period
next following said Reemployment Commencement Date.

                                       4

2.2 Procedure for Joining the Plan -- Each Eligible Employee who meets the
requirements of Section 2.1 may join the Plan by communicating with Fidelity in
accordance with instructions in an enrollment kit which will be made available
to each Eligible Employee. An enrollment in the Plan shall not be deemed to have
been completed until the Employee has designated: a percentage by which
Participants' Eligible Compensation shall be reduced as an Elective Deferral in
accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2, subject to the
nondiscrimination test described in Section 3.3; election of investment funds as
described in Article IV; one or more Beneficiaries; and such other information
as specified by Fidelity. Enrollment will be effective as of the first
administratively feasible Pay Period following completion of enrollment. The
Administrator in its discretion may from time to time make exceptions and
adjustments in the foregoing procedure on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis.

2.3 Transfer Between Companies to Position Covered by Plan -- A Participant who
is transferred from employment with one of the Companies to employment as an
Eligible Employee with another one of the Companies may remain a Participant of
the Plan with his or her new Company.

2.4 Transfer to Position Not Covered by Plan -- If a Participant is transferred
to another position with the Employer in which the Participant is no longer an
Eligible Employee, the Participant will remain a Participant of the Plan with
respect to Elective Deferrals previously made but will no longer be eligible to
have Elective Deferrals made to the Plan on his or her behalf until he or she
again becomes an Eligible Employee. In the event the Participant is subsequently
transferred to a position in which he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee,
the Participant may renew Elective Deferrals by communicating with Fidelity and
providing all of the information requested by Fidelity. The renewal of Elective
Deferrals will be effective as of the first administratively feasible Pay Period
following receipt by Fidelity of the requested information.

                           ARTICLE III - CONTRIBUTIONS

3.1 Employer Contributions -- The Companies shall contribute to the Trust
established under this Plan from Net Annual Profits or Net Profits an amount
equal to the total amount of Elective Deferrals agreed to be made by the
Companies pursuant to designation by Participants.

3.2 Elective Deferrals -- Elective Deferrals must be made in one percent (1%)
increments with a minimum Elective Deferral of one percent (1%) of Eligible
Compensation and a maximum Elective Deferral of seventeen percent (17%);
provided, however, that effective for any Plan Year beginning on or after
January 1, 1987, in no event may the amount of Elective Deferrals to the Plan,
when taken into account with all other elective deferrals (as defined in Code
Section 402(g)) made by a Participant under any other plan maintained by the
Employer, exceed $7,000 (adjusted for increases in the cost of living under Code
Section 402(g)) in any calendar year. If a Participant participates in another
plan or arrangement which is not maintained by the Employer and which permits
elective deferrals in any calendar year and his total Elective Deferrals under
the Plan and other plan(s) exceed $7,000 (as adjusted) in a calendar year, he
may request to receive a distribution of the amount of the excess deferral (a
deferral in excess of $7,000 (as adjusted)) that is attributable to Elective
Deferrals to this Plan together with earnings thereon, notwithstanding any
limitations on distributions contained in the Plan. Such distribution shall be
made by the April 15 following the Plan Year in which the Elective Deferrals
were made, provided that the Participant notifies the Administrator of the


                                       5

amount of the excess deferral that is attributable to Elective Deferrals to the
Plan and requests such a distribution. The Participant's notice must be received
by the Administrator no later than the March 1 following the Plan Year of the
excess deferral. In the absence of such notice, the amount of such excess
deferral attributable to Elective Deferrals to this Plan shall be subject to all
limitations on withdrawals and distributions in the Plan. In addition to
distributing excess deferrals at the request of the Participant, the
Administrator shall distribute any deferrals made under this Plan or any other
plan of the Employer in excess of the statutory maximum deferral of $7,000 (as
adjusted). For this purpose as provided in 26 CFR ss.1.402(g)-1(e)(2), a
Participant is deemed to notify the Administrator of any excess deferrals that
arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and
any other plans of this Employer and to request that such excess deferrals be
distributed by the Plan Administrator. The distribution of excess deferrals will
include any earnings or be reduced by any loss allocable to the excess deferrals
pursuant to the Plan method of allocating earnings or losses and calculated to
the last day of the Plan Year in which the excess deferrals were made.

The Administrator may establish prospectively lower limits for Higher Paid
Participants for the purpose of complying with Internal Revenue Code
requirements in an orderly manner.

3.3      Limitations on Elective Deferrals --

(a) In no event may Elective Deferrals made on behalf of all Higher Paid
Eligible Employees with respect to any Plan Year result in an Actual Deferral
Percentage for such group of Higher Paid Eligible Employees which exceeds the
greater of (i) or (ii) where:

(i) is an amount equal to 125 percent of the Actual Deferral Percentage for all
Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility
requirements of Article II with respect to such Plan Year; and

(ii) is an amount equal to the Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-Higher
Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility requirements of
Article II with respect to such Plan Year and two percent (2%), provided that
such amount does not exceed 200 percent of such Actual Deferral Percentage.

(b) The Administrator shall be authorized to implement rules authorizing or
requiring reductions in Elective Deferrals that may be made by Higher Paid
Eligible Employees during the Plan Year (prior to any contributions to the
Trust) so that the limitation of Section 3.3(a) is satisfied.

(c) The Company may in its discretion make Qualified Nonelective Contributions
to the Accounts of certain Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees to the extent
required to satisfy the limitations of Section 3.3(a).

(d) If the limitation under Section 3.3(a) is exceeded in any Plan Year, the
Excess Amounts made on behalf of Higher Paid Eligible Employees with respect to
a Plan Year (and earnings allocable thereto) shall then be distributed to such
Employees as soon as practicable after the end of such Plan Year, but no later
than the last day of the immediately following Plan Year. The Excess Amounts
distributed shall include Elective Deferrals and the income allocable thereto.
The amount of income allocable to Excess Amounts shall be determined in
accordance with the regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the Code and
shall include income for the Plan Year for which the Excess Amounts were made.
Any such distributions shall be reduced by the amount of any distributions made
pursuant to Section 3.2 above.

                                       6

 (e) The Administrator may utilize any combination of the methods described in
Sections 3.3(b), (c) and (d) to assure that the limitations of Section 3.3(a)
are satisfied.

(f) For purposes of this Section 3.3, the following definitions and special
rules shall apply:

(i) The term "Annual Earnings" means the Employee's wages which are required to
be reported on IRS Form W-2 for the calendar year which coincides with the Plan
Year.

(ii) The term "Actual Deferral Percentage" shall mean, with respect to any group
of actively employed Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility
requirements of Article II for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios,
calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee in the group, of:

(A) The amount of Elective Deferrals paid to the Trust Fund for such Plan Year,
divided by

(B) The Eligible Employee's Annual Earnings, including any Elective Deferrals
made by the Companies to the Plan on behalf of the Eligible Employee and any
pre-tax elective contributions made by the Companies which are excludible from
the Eligible Employee's income under Section 125 of the Code.

Elective Deferrals shall be taken into account for a Plan Year only if such
amounts are allocated to the Eligible Employee's Account as of a date within
that Plan Year. For this purpose, an Elective Deferral is considered allocated
as of a date within a Plan Year if the allocation is not contingent on
participation or performance of services after such date and the Elective
Deferral is actually paid to the Trust Fund no later than 12 months after the
Plan Year to which the contribution relates.

(iii) The term "Excess Amounts" shall mean with respect to each Higher Paid
Eligible Employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article II
for a Plan Year, the amount equal to total Elective Deferrals made on behalf of
such Employee (determined prior to the application of the leveling procedure
described below) minus the product of the Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage
(determined after the leveling procedure described below) multiplied by the
amount specified in Section 3.3(f)(ii)(B) above. In accordance with the
regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the Code, Excess Amounts shall be
determined by a leveling procedure under which the Actual Deferral Percentage of
the Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the highest such percentage shall be
reduced to the extent required to enable the limitation of Section 3.3(a) to be
satisfied or, if it results in a lower reduction, to the extent required to
cause such Higher Paid Eligible Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage to equal
the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the
next highest Actual Deferral Percentage. This leveling procedure shall be
repeated until the limitation of Section 3.3(a) is satisfied. (iv) The term
"Qualified Nonelective Contributions" means contributions that are made pursuant
to Sections 3.3(c), 3.8(c) or 3.12 meet the requirements of Section 401(m)(4)(C)
of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, and which are designated as a
Qualified Nonelective Contribution for purposes of satisfying the limitations of
Sections 3.3(c), 3.8(c) or 3.12. Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be
nonforfeitable when made and are distributable only in accordance with the
distribution and withdrawal provisions that are applicable to Elective Deferrals
under the Plan; provided, however, that Qualified Nonelective Contributions may
not be withdrawn on account of financial hardship. If any Qualified Nonelective
Contributions are made, the Company shall keep such records as necessary to
reflect the amount of such contributions made for purposes of satisfying the
limitations of Sections 3.3(c) or 3.8(c).

                                       7

(v) In the event the Companies maintain two or more plans that are treated as a
single plan for purposes of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code (other
than Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code), all elective deferrals made under
the two plans shall be treated as made under a single plan, and if two or more
of such plans are permissively aggregated for purposes of Section 401(k) of the
Code, such plans shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of satisfying
Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code.

(vi) In determining the Actual Deferral Percentage of a Higher Paid Eligible
Employee, all cash or deferred arrangements in which such Higher Paid Eligible
Employee is eligible to participate shall be treated as a single arrangement.
(vii) The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply
to any Higher Paid Eligible Employee who is a five percent owner or one of the
ten most highly compensated Higher Paid Eligible Employees. The Actual Deferral
Percentage for the family group, which is treated as one Higher Paid Eligible
Employee, is the Actual Deferral Percentage determined by combining the
contributions and compensation of all eligible Family Members. Except to the
extent taken into account in this Paragraph (vii), the contributions and
compensation of all Family Members are disregarded in determining the Actual
Deferral Percentages for all Employees.

(g) The limitations of this Section 3.3 shall apply to Plan Years beginning on
or after January 1, 1987.

3.4 Reinstatement of Reduced Amounts -- Any reduction effected pursuant to
Section 3.3 will remain in effect for the remainder of the Plan Year in which
the reduction occurs and will not be automatically reinstated. A Participant
whose Elective Deferral has been reduced may elect to increase his or her
Elective Deferral effective as of any Pay Period subsequent to notice from the
Administrator that Elective Deferrals may be increased as of a specified Pay
Period. This election must be made in accordance with the procedure described in
Section 3.5.

3.5 Change in Elective Deferrals -- Except as provided in Sections 3.3 and 3.4,
any Participant may change his or her Elective Deferral percentage to increase
or decrease said percentage by notifying Fidelity, such change to take effect as
of the next administratively feasible Pay Period.

3.6 Voluntary Reduction of Elective Deferral to Zero -- Notwithstanding the
notice requirements specified in Section 3.5, any Participant may elect to
reduce the level of the Participant's Elective Deferral to zero as of the
beginning of any Pay Period. The reduction will take effect as soon as
practicable following telephone notification by the Participant to Fidelity. A
Participant who has reduced his or her Elective Deferral to zero may again make
Elective Deferrals as of the next administratively feasible Pay Period
subsequent to telephone notification to Fidelity.

3.7 Matching Contributions -- For each Plan Year, commencing on or after January
1, 1994, subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, the
Companies will match from Net Annual Profits or Net Profits the Elective
Deferral of each Participant at the rate of one-half (1/2) of the Participant's
Elective Deferral on an annual basis provided that: (i) for any Pay Period the
matching amount shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the Participant's
Eligible Compensation for that pay period; and (ii) as soon as administratively
feasible subsequent to the end of the Plan Year, the differential, if any, by
which an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the Participant's Elective Deferral
for the Plan Year exceeds the amount of Matching Contributions actually made to
Participant for that year, to an annual maximum of three percent (3%) of the
Participant's Eligible Compensation for the Plan Year. will be paid into the
Participant's Matching Contribution Account.

                                       8

3.8      Limitations on Matching Contributions.

(a) In no event may the Matching Contributions made on behalf of all Higher Paid
Eligible Employees, or forfeitures allocated to the Accounts of such Employees,
who have satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article II with respect to
any Plan Year result in an Actual Contribution Percentage for such group of
Higher Paid Eligible Employees which exceeds the greater of (i) or (ii) where:

(i) is an amount equal to 125 percent of the Actual Contribution Percentage for
all Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility
requirements of Article II with respect to such Plan Year; and

(ii) is an amount equal to the Actual Contribution Percentage for all Non-Higher
Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility requirements of
Article II with respect to such Plan Year and two percent (2%), provided that
such amount does not exceed 200 percent of such Actual Contribution Percentage.

(b) The Administrator shall be authorized to implement rules authorizing or
requiring reductions in Matching Contributions that may be made by Higher Paid
Eligible Employees during the Plan Year (prior to any contributions to the Trust
Fund), so that the limitation of Section 3.8(a) is satisfied.

(c) The Company may in its discretion make Qualified Nonelective Contributions
to the accounts of certain Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees to the extent
required to satisfy the limitations of Section 3.8(a).

(d) If the limitation under Section 3.8(a) is exceeded in any Plan Year, the
Excess Amounts made on behalf of Higher Paid Eligible Employees with respect to
a Plan Year (and earnings allocable thereto) shall then be distributed to such
Higher Paid Eligible Employees as soon as practicable after the end of such Plan
Year (or, if forfeitable under the terms of the Plan, forfeited), but no later
than the last day of the immediately following Plan Year. The Excess Amounts
distributed shall include both the Matching Contributions and the income
allocable thereto. The amount of income allocable to Excess Amounts shall be
determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Section 401(m) of the
Code and shall include income for the Plan Year to which the Excess Amounts
relate.

(e) Elective Deferrals and Matching Contributions shall be further limited to
the extent required to prevent prohibited multiple use of the alternative
limitation described in Sections 401(k)(3)(A)(ii)(II) and 401(m)(2)(A)(ii) of
the Code and the provisions of Reg. ss.1.401(m)-2(b) and any further guidance
issued thereunder. If such multiple use occurs, the Actual Contribution
Percentage for all Higher Paid Eligible Employees (determined after applying the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.8) shall be reduced in accordance with
Reg. ss.1.401(m)-2(c) and any further guidance issued thereunder in order to
prevent such multiple use of the alternative limitation.

(f) The Administrator may utilize any combination of the methods described in
Sections 3.8(b), (c) and (d) to assure that the limitations of Sections 3.8(a)
and (e) are satisfied.

(g) For purposes of this Section 3.8, the following definitions and special
rules shall apply:

                                       9

(i) The term "Annual Earnings" shall have the meaning specified in Section
3.3(f)(i).

(ii) The term "Actual Contribution Percentage" shall mean, with respect to any
group of actively employed Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility
requirements of Article II for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios,
calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee in the group, of:

(A) The amount of Matching Contributions paid to the Trust Fund for such Plan
Year on behalf of the Eligible Employee plus the amount of forfeitures allocated
to the Eligible Employee's Account, divided by

(B) The Eligible Employee's Annual Earnings, including any Elective Deferrals
made by the Companies to the Plan on behalf of the Eligible Employee or any
pre-tax election contributions under a "cafeteria plan" (as defined in Section
125 of the Code and applicable regulations) maintained by the Companies for such
Plan Year.

Matching Contributions and forfeitures shall be taken into account for a Plan
Year only if such amounts are allocated to the Eligible Employee's Account as of
a date within that Plan Year, such amounts are actually paid to the Trust no
later than 12 months after the Plan Year to which the contribution relates and
such amounts are contributed on account of Elective Deferrals for such Plan
Year.

(iii) The term "Excess Amounts" shall mean with respect to each Higher Paid
Eligible Employee, the amount equal to the total Matching Contributions made on
behalf of the Eligible Employee together with the forfeitures allocated to the
Eligible Employee's Account (determined prior to the application of the leveling
procedure described below) minus the product of the Eligible Employee's Actual
Contribution Percentage (determined after the leveling procedure described
below) multiplied by the amount specified in Section 3.8(g)(ii)(B) above. In
accordance with the regulations issued under Section 401(m) of the Code, Excess
Amounts shall be determined by a leveling procedure under which the Actual
Contribution Percentage of the Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the highest
such percentage shall be reduced to the extent required to enable the limitation
of Section 3.8(a) to be satisfied or, if it results in a lower reduction, to the
extent required to cause such Higher Paid Eligible Employee's Actual
Contribution Percentage to equal the Actual Contribution Percentage of the
Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the next highest Actual Contribution
Percentage. This leveling procedure shall be repeated until the limitation of
Section 3.8(a) is satisfied.

(iv) The term "Qualified Nonelective Contributions" shall have the meaning
specified in Section 3.3(f)(iv).

(v) In the event the Companies maintain two or more plans that are treated as a
single plan for purposes of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code (other
than Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code), all Matching Contributions and
forfeitures under the two plans shall be treated as made under a single plan,
and if two or more of such plans are permissibly aggregated for purposes of
Section 401(m) of the Code, such plans shall be treated as a single plan for
purposes of satisfying Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code.

                                       10

(vi) In determining the Actual Contribution Percentage of a Higher Paid Eligible
Employee, all plans in which such Higher Paid Eligible Employee is eligible to
participate shall be treated as a single arrangement.

(vii) The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply
to any Higher Paid Eligible Employee who is a five percent owner or one of the
ten most highly compensated Higher Paid Eligible Employees. The Actual
Contribution Percentage for the family group, which is treated as one Higher
Paid Eligible Employee, is the Actual Contribution Percentage determined by
combining the contributions and compensation of all eligible Family Members.
Except to the extent taken into account in this Paragraph (vii), the
contributions and compensation of all Family Members are disregarded in
determining the Actual Contribution Percentages for all Employees.

(h) The limitations of this Section 3.8 shall apply to Plan Years beginning on
or after January 1, 1987.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the rate of
Matching Contributions, determined after application of the corrective
mechanisms described in Section 3.3, discriminates in favor of Higher Paid
Eligible Employees, any such amounts attributable to any Excess Amounts (as
described in Subsection 3.3(f)(iii)) of each affected Higher Paid Eligible
Employee shall be forfeited so that the rate of Matching Contribution is
nondiscriminatory. Any such forfeitures shall be made no later than the end of
the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Matching Contribution was
made and shall be treated in accordance with Section 3.9.

3.9      Forfeitures --

(a) In the event that a Participant incurs a Severance from Service prior to
attaining a Nonforfeitable right to the Participant's Matching Contribution, the
Matching Contribution Account will be forfeited as of the first day of the month
immediately following the earliest of: (i) the date on which the Participant
incurs a Period of Severance of five consecutive years; (ii) death; or (iii) the
date on which the Participant's Employee Account is distributed in accordance
with Article VI. Forfeitures of Matching Contributions will be used to reduce
future contributions of the Companies to the Plan.

(b) If, in connection with his Severance from Service, a Participant received a
distribution of his Employee Account when he did not have a Nonforfeitable right
to his Matching Contribution Account, the Matching Contributions that were
forfeited, unadjusted by any subsequent gains or losses, shall be restored if he
again becomes an Employee prior to incurring a Period of Severance of five
consecutive years, performs an Hour of Service, and repays the full value of his
prior distributions, unadjusted for subsequent gains and losses, before the
first to occur of (i) the end of the five year period beginning with the date he
again becomes an Employee or (ii) the date on which he incurs a Period of
Severance of five consecutive years.

                                       12

(c) Participants who are also covered under the Raytheon Stock Ownership Plan
and who are entitled to diversify their accounts under such plan, may direct

the respective Plan sponsors and record keepers. The account balances
transferred from the Serv-Air Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan may, at the
election of the member, be distributed in either a lump sum payable in cash or

behalf of an Employee who is not a Participant, an Account shall be established
for such Employee and the Employee shall have the right to elect investment
options under Section 4.1. If the Employee does not make a valid election in
which investment options are designated for 100% of the Participant's Account,
then 100% of the Participant's Account shall be invested in Fund B, a fixed
income fund. The Employee may, in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3, change
the investment allocation for future deferrals and transfer account balances
between investment funds.

                       ARTICLE IV - INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

4.1 Election of Investment Funds -- Upon enrollment in the Plan, each
Participant shall direct that the funds in the Participant's Employee Account
and Matching Contribution Account be invested in increments of one percent (1%)

Fund B - a fixed income fund designated by the Administrator;

Fund C - Raytheon Company common stock fund;

Fund D - a stock index fund designated by the Administrator;

Fund F - a growth fund, designated by the Administrator, investing primarily in
equities of companies of all types and sizes;

Fund G - a growth fund, designated by the Administrator, investing primarily in
equities of well-known and established companies.

In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time designate new funds
and, where appropriate, preclude investment in existing funds and provide for
the transfer of Accounts invested in those funds to other funds selected by the
Participant or, if no such election is made, to Fund B or similar low risk fixed
income fund as determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(SEC) shall not become effective until six (6) months subsequent to the date the
Administrator is notified of the request.

                                       15

4.2 Change in Investment Allocation of Future Deferrals -- Each Participant may
elect to change the investment allocation of future Elective Deferrals, Matching
Contributions and rollover contributions effective as of the first
administratively feasible Business Day subsequent to telephone notice to

the Participant's Account or in a specified whole dollar amount and must result
in a total investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
Account.

4.3 Transfer of Account Balances Between Investment Funds -- Each Participant
may elect to transfer all or a portion of the amount in the Participant's
Employee Account, Matching Contribution Account and Rollover Contribution
Account between investment funds effective as of the first administratively
feasible Business Day following telephone notice to Fidelity. In determining the
amount of the transfer, the Participant's Account shall be valued as of the
close of business on the Business Day on which telephone notice is received;
provided, however, that in any case where the telephone notice is received after
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on the date
of the call), the Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the
next Business Day. Such transfers must be made in either one percent (1%)
increments of the entire Account or in a specified amount in whole dollars and,
as of the completion of the transfer, must result in investment of one hundred
percent (100%) of the Account. Transfers shall be effected by telephone notice
to Fidelity.

4.4 Ownership Status of Funds -- The Trustee shall be the owner of record of the
assets in the funds specified as Funds A, B, C, D and E and such other funds as
may be established by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have records
maintained as of the Valuation Date for each fund allocating a portion of the
fund to each Participant who has elected that his or her Account be invested in
such fund. The records shall reflect each Participant's portion of Funds A, B, D
and E, and such other funds as may be established by the Administrator, in a
cash amount and shall reflect each Participant's portion of Fund C in cash and
unitized shares of stock.

4.5 Voting Rights -- Participants whose Account has shares of participation in
the Raytheon Company Common Stock Fund on the last business day of the second
month preceding the record date (the "Voting Eligibility Date") for any meeting
of stockholders have the right to instruct the Trustee as to voting at such

in the Participant's Account in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund by the closing
price of Raytheon Common Stock on the Voting Eligibility Date. If the Trustee
has not received instructions from a Participant as to voting of shares within a
specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote those shares. If a Participant
furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote direction card without indicating a
voting choice thereon, the Trustee shall vote Participant's shares as
recommended by management. In addition, each Participant shall have the right to
accept or reject any tender or exchange offer for shares of common stock. The
Trustee shall vote (or tender or exchange) all combined fractional shares of
Raytheon Common Stock to the extent possible in the same proportion as the
shares which have been voted (or tendered or exchanged) by each Participant. Any
instructions as to voting (or tender or exchange) received from an individual

(i) in the case of a Participant who has made no Elective Deferrals to the Plan,
the Period of Service before any Period of Severance which equals or exceeds
five consecutive years; and

(ii) in the case of a Participant who has made Elective Deferrals to the Plan
and who has incurred a Period of Severance which equals or exceeds five years,
the Period of Service after such Period of Severance shall not be taken into
account for purposes of determining the nonforfeitable interest of such

                            ARTICLE VI - WITHDRAWALS

6.1 In-Service Withdrawals - Matching Contributions -- Upon completion of a
Period of Participation of five (5) years, a Participant may withdraw, subject
to both a minimum withdrawal amount of $250 and the requirement that a
Participant may withdraw no more than twice during a Plan Year, if no loans are
outstanding, and only once during a Plan Year if loans are outstanding, all or
part of the Participant's Matching Contribution Account. Withdrawals will be
based upon the value of the Account as determined under Section 6.9. Withdrawals
from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may be established by
the Administrator will be made in cash; withdrawals from Fund C will be made in
cash or stock (with cash for fractional or uninvested shares) as directed by the
Participant. Funds for the withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis against
the Participant's investment fund balances in the Participant's Matching
Contribution Account.

6.2 In-Service Withdrawal - Employee and Qualified Non-Elective Contribution
Accounts -- While in a Period of Service, a Participant may withdraw assets from
his or her Accounts as follows:

(a) all or a portion of the Participant's Employee Account and Qualified 
Non-Elective Contribution Account upon attainment of age 59 1/2 or

(b) a distributable amount (as defined in Treas. Reg. ss. 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)) on
account of a hardship as defined in the regulation. A distribution is made on
account of a hardship only if the distribution both is made on account of an
immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant and is necessary to
satisfy the financial need. In determining the amount required to satisfy the
financial need, the Administrator shall take into account the federal, state and
local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
withdrawal. The distributable amount is equal to the Participant's total
Elective Deferrals as of the date of distribution reduced by the amount of


                                       19

previous distributions on account of hardship and increased by that portion of
income allocable to Elective Deferrals which was credited to the Participant's
Account as of December 31, 1988. Withdrawals from the Employee Accounts of less
than $250 will not be permitted. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the
Account as determined under Section 6.9. Payment of the amount withdrawn will be
made as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the
withdrawal. Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as
may be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash; withdrawals from
Fund C will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or unissued
shares) as elected by the Participant. Funds for the withdrawal will be taken on
a pro rata basis against the Participant's investment fund balances in the
Participant's Employee Account.

6.3 In-Service Withdrawal - Rollover Contribution Account -- A Participant may
withdraw all or a portion of the Participant's Rollover Contribution Account.
Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as determined under
Section 6.9. Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal. Withdrawals from Funds
A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash. Withdrawals from Fund C will be made
in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or unissued shares) as elected by the
Participant.

6.4      Requirements For Financial Hardship Withdrawals --

(a) A Participant requesting a withdrawal of the distributable amount of the
Participant's Employee Account due to reasons of immediate and heavy financial
need must submit such documentation or information in other form as required by
the Administrator and shall advise Fidelity by telephone notice or such other
means as established by the Administrator's rules then in effect of the
existence of an immediate and heavy financial need and the fact that the need
will be satisfied by the requested distribution.

(b) The Participant shall represent that this financial need cannot be satisfied
by any of the following sources: through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise; by liquidation of the Participant's assets; by cessation
of Elective Deferrals under the Plan; or by other distributions or non-taxable
(at the time of the loan) loans currently available from plans maintained by the
Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on
reasonable commercial terms.

(c) For purposes of Section 6.2, "immediate and heavy financial need" is limited
to financial need arising from the following specific causes: expenses for
medical care (as described in Section 213(d) of the Code) previously incurred by
the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependents (as defined in
Section 152 of the Code) of the Participant, or which are necessary for these
persons to obtain medical care described in Section 213(d) of the Code; costs
directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant
(excluding mortgage payments); payment of tuition and related educational
expenses for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the
Participant, or the Participant's spouse, children or dependents (as defined in
Section 152 of the Code); expenses relating to the need to prevent the eviction
from or foreclosure on the Participant's principal residence; or any other
circumstance, as determined by the Administrator based upon all the relevant
facts, establishing substantial justification for the withdrawal.

                                       20

(d) If a Participant receives a withdrawal for reasons of financial hardship,
his or her Elective Deferrals shall be reduced to six percent (6%), if in excess
thereof as of the date of distribution, and shall not be increased during the
twelve months immediately subsequent to the date of distribution.

6.5 Redeposits Prohibited -- No amount withdrawn pursuant to Section 6.1,
Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 may be redeposited in the Plan.

6.6 Distribution -- Distribution of the Participant's Employee, Rollover
Contribution and Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Accounts and, if the
Participant has a Nonforfeitable right to his or her Matching Contribution
Account pursuant to Section 5.2, the Matching Contribution Account, will be made
at the direction of the Participant (or his legal representative or Beneficiary
in the case of his Disability or death) upon the Retirement, Disability (as
defined in Section 14.13), death, Severance from Service (as defined in Section
14.49) or Layoff (as defined in Section 14.27) of the Participant. In the event
the Participant dies or his Severance from Service occurs after his Normal
Retirement Age, or if the value of the Nonforfeitable portion of the
Participant's Account as of the Valuation Date which coincides with or
immediately precedes the date of distribution is not in excess of $3,500, the
Administrator shall cause the distribution to automatically be made. Payment
will be made in the form of a lump sum distribution of the entire amount in the
Participant's Account (to which the Participant has a Nonforfeitable right)
which will be paid as soon as practicable following notification to the Benefits
and Services Department, Raytheon Company, Lexington, Massachusetts, of the
Retirement, death, Disability or Severance from Service and a telephone request
by the Participant to Fidelity for the distribution. Distributions will be based
upon the value of the Account as determined under Section 6.9. Distribution of
the amounts in said accounts in the funds designated in Funds A, B, D, E, F and
G, and such other funds as may be established by the Administrator, will be made
in cash. Distribution of any amount in said accounts in Fund C (Raytheon Company
stock) will be made in either cash or, if elected by the Participant or, in the
case of death, the Participant's Beneficiary, stock. Partial deferrals will not
be permitted. If there is no Beneficiary surviving a deceased Participant at the
time payment of a Participant's Account is to be made, such payment shall be
made in a lump sum to the person or persons in the first following class of
successive Beneficiaries surviving, any testamentary devise or bequest to the
contrary notwithstanding: the Participant's (a) spouse, (b) children and issue
of deceased children by right of representation, (c) parents, (d) brothers and
sisters and issue of deceased brothers and sisters by right of representation,
or (e) executors or administrators. If no Beneficiary can be located during a
period of seven (7) years from the date of death, the amount of the distribution
shall revert to the Trust and be treated in the same manner as a forfeiture
under Section 3.9.

Except as provided by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code as set forth in this
Section, benefits in the Plan will be distributed to each Participant not later
than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which the
latest of the following events occurs:

(1)  attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement Age;

                                       21

(2)  the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which Participant commenced
     participation in the Plan; or

(3) Participant's Severance from Service.

If the amount of the benefit payable to a Participant has not been ascertained
by the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest
of the three events described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above occurred, or
Participant cannot be located after reasonable efforts to do so, then payment
retroactive to said sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in
which the latest of the three events occurred may be made no later than sixty
(60) days after the later of the earliest date on which the amount of such
payment can be ascertained under the Plan or the earliest date on which the
Participant is located.

To the extent required by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, distributions of
Participants' Accounts will be made with respect to Participants who attain age
70 1/2.

In the event amounts are transferred to this Plan from another plan qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code (other than amounts described in Section
3.10(c)), any distribution or withdrawal rights available to the Participant
under such other plan which are protected under Section 411(d)(6) of the Code
shall be available to the Participant under this Plan.

6.7 Withdrawal/Distribution - Executive Officers -- No withdrawal by or
distribution to an "executive officer," as that term is defined by the SEC, from
an Account in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund will be effective until the
expiration of six (6) months from the date the Administrator receives the
request for the withdrawal or distribution.

6.8 Direct Rollovers -- Effective January 1, 1993, a distributee may elect, at
the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion
of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement
plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. For purposes of this
paragraph, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any
distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the
distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any
distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
(not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of
the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
distributee and the distributee's beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10
years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is
not includible in gross income.

                                       22

(b) Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual
retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual
retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan
described in Section 403(a) of the Code or a qualified trust described in
Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover
distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the
surviving spouse, the term is limited to an individual retirement account or
individual retirement annuity.

(c) Distributee: A distributee includes a Participant or former Participant. In
addition, the Participant's or former Participant's surviving spouse and the
Participant's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a
qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code,
are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

(d) Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee.

6.9 Determination of Amount of Withdrawal or Distribution -- In determining the
amount of any withdrawal or distribution hereunder, the Participant's Account
shall be valued as of the close of business on the Business Day on which
telephone notice is received; provided, however, that in any case where the
telephone notice is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (daylight or standard,
whichever is in effect on the date of the call), the Account shall be valued as
of the close of business on the next Business Day.

6.10 Sale or Divestiture of Business -- Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 14.50(g), a Participant whose employment is terminated by reason of the
sale or divestiture or assets or stock of a business may withdraw part or all of
his or her Account if otherwise permitted by law.

                               ARTICLE VII - LOANS

7.1 Availability of Loans -- Participants may borrow against all or a
portion of the balance in the Participant's Employee Account and Rollover
Contribution Account, and the Matching Contribution Account if the Participant
has a Nonforfeitable right thereto pursuant to Section 5.2, subject to the
limitations set forth in this Article. Participants who have incurred a
Severance from Service will not be eligible for a Plan loan. The Vice President,
Human Resources, is authorized to administer this loan program and may establish
uniform and equitable rules to resolve issues not specifically covered in this
Article.

7.2 Minimum Amount of Loan -- No loan of less than $500 will be permitted.
         
7.3 Maximum Amount of Loan -- No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%) of
the aggregate value of a Participant's Employee Account and Rollover
Contribution Account and the Nonforfeitable portion of Participant's Matching
Contribution Account balances will be permitted. In addition, limits imposed by
the Internal Revenue Code and any other requirements of applicable statute or
regulation will be applied. Under the current requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code, if the aggregate value of a Participant's Employee Account,
Rollover Contribution Account and Nonforfeitable portion of the Matching
Contribution Account exceeds $20,000, the loan cannot exceed the lesser of
one-half (1/2) the Nonforfeitable aggregate value or $50,000 reduced by the
excess of (a) the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the
one-year period ending on the day before the date on which such loan was made
over (b) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which
such loan was made.

                                       23

7.4 Effective Date of Loans -- Loans will be effective as specified in the
Administrator's rules then in effect.

7.5 Repayment Schedule - The Participant may select a repayment schedule of
1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. If the loan is used to acquire any dwelling which, within
a reasonable time is to be used (determined at the time the loan is made) as the
principal residence of the Participant, the repayment period may be extended up
to 15 years at the election of the Participant. All repayments will be made
through payroll deductions in accordance with the loan agreement executed at the
time the loan is made, except that, in the event of the sale of all or a portion
of the business of the Employer or one of the Companies, or other unusual
circumstances, the Administrator, through uniform and equitable rules, may
establish other means of repayment. The loan agreement will permit repayment of
the entire outstanding balance in one lump sum. The minimum repayment amount per
pay period is $10 for Participants paid weekly and $50 for Participants paid
monthly. The repayment schedule shall provide for substantially level
amortization of the loan.

7.6 Limit on Number of Loans -- No more than two loans may be outstanding
at any time.

7.7 Interest Rate -- The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this Article
will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the
first business day in June and December of each year. The rate published on the
first business day in June will apply to loans which are effective at any time
during the period July 1 through December 31 thereafter; the rate published on
the first business day of December will apply to loans which are effective at
any time during the period January 1 through June 30 thereafter.

7.8 Effect Upon Participants Employee Account -- Upon the granting of a
loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in the Participant's
Account to the respective investment funds will be reduced on a pro rata basis
and replaced by the loan balance which will be designated as an asset in the
Account. Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the Participant's Accounts
in the following sequence, with no reduction of the succeeding Accounts until
prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan: Matching Contribution Account;
Employee Account; and Rollover Contribution Account. Upon repayment of the
principal and interest, the loan balance will be reduced, the Participant
Accounts will be increased in the reverse order in which they were exhausted by
the loan, and the loan payments will be allocated to the respective investment
funds in accordance with the investment election then in effect.

7.9 Effect of Severance From Service and Non-Payment -- In the event that a
loan remains outstanding upon the Severance from Service of a Participant, the
Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding
loan. In any case where payments on the outstanding loan are not made within 90
days of the Participant's Severance from Service Date, the amount of any unpaid
principal will be deducted from the Participant's account and reported as a
distribution. If, as a result of Layoff or Authorized Leave of Absence, a
Participant, although still in a Period of Service, is not being compensated
through the Employer's payroll system, loan payments will be suspended until the
earliest of the first pay date after Participant returns to active employment
with the Employer, the Participant's Severance from Service Date, or the
expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the suspension. In the event
the Participant does not return to active employment with the Employer, the
Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding
loan. If the Participant fails to resume payments on the loan, the outstanding
loan will be reported as a taxable distribution. In no event, however, shall the
loan be deducted from the Participant's Account earlier than the date on which
the Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service, or, (ii) attains age
59-1/2.

                                       24

7.10 Loans - Executive Officers -- No loan to an executive officer from an
Account in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund will be effective until the expiration
of six (6) months from the date on which the application for the loan is
received by the Administrator.

              ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATIONS OF SECTION 415 OF THE CODE

8.1 Maximum Permissible Amount of a Participant's Annual Addition -- The
total for any Limitation Year of the annual additions to a Participant's Account
under this Plan when added to the annual additions to a Participant's account
under any qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer shall
not exceed the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of total compensation
from the Employer, and (ii) $30,000 or, if greater, one-fourth of the defined
benefit dollar limitation set forth in Section 415(b)(1) of the Code as in
effect for the Limitation Year.

For purposes of this Section 8.1, the term "annual addition" shall mean, with
respect to any Limitation Year, Matching Contributions, forfeitures, Qualified
Nonelective Contributions and Elective Deferrals to this Plan, plus the sum of
the following amounts allocable for such Plan Year to the Participant's accounts
in all other qualified plans maintained by the Employer in which he
participates: (1) employer contributions (including pre-tax contributions), (2)
forfeitures which have been reallocated to the Participant's account, (3)
Participant after-tax contributions; and (4) amounts described in Sections
415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2) of the Code.

For purposes of this Section 8.1, the term "compensation" shall mean all amounts
paid to an Employee for personal services actually rendered to the Companies and
Affiliates, including, but not limited to, wages, salary, commissions, bonuses,
overtime and other premium pay as specified in Reg. Section 1.415-2(d)(2), but
excluding deferred compensation, stock options, and other distributions which
receive special tax treatment as specified in Reg. Section 1.415-2(d)(3).

8.2 Reduction of Annual Additions -- In the event it is determined that the
annual additions to a Participant's Account under this Plan or any other
qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer for any
limitation year would be in excess of the limitations of Section 8.1, such
annual additions shall be reduced to the extent necessary to bring them within
such limitations. If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's Eligible Compensation, a reasonable error in
determining the amount of Elective Deferrals that may be made with respect to
any Participant, or under other limited facts and circumstances which the
Internal Revenue Service finds justify the availability of the remedies
contained herein, the Administrator, in coordination with the administrator of
any other defined contriution plan maintained by the Employer, shall reduce the
annual additions which have been made to a Participant's Account to the
acceptable limit by the following procedures, on a pro rata basis, in the
following order:

(a) by returning to the Participant any voluntary or mandatory Employee
contributions made to the Raytheon Support Services Company Money Accumulation
Plan or any other defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer;

                                       25

(b) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded, Elective Deferrals to this
Plan, or other defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the
Code maintained by the Employer during such Limitation Year, shall be
distributed to the Participant; and

(c) to the extent such limitation is still exceeded, any Qualified Non-Elective
Contribution to Participant's account in this Plan, or other defined
contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code maintained by the
Employer during such Limitation Year, shall be reduced to the extent necessary
to reduce annual additions to the acceptable limit;

(d) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded, any Matching Employer
Contributions to this Plan, or other defined contribution plan qualified under
Section 401(k) of the Code maintained by the Employer during such Limitation
Year, shall be reduced to the extent necessary to decrease Participant's annual
additions to the acceptable limit;

(e) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded, excess annual additions in
the Participant's Account in the Raytheon Stock Ownership Plan (RAYSOP) shall be
used to reduce allocations for the next Limitation Year (and succeeding
Limitation Years, as necessary) for that Participant if the Participant is
covered by such Plan at the end of such Limitation Year. In the event the
Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year, any
excess annual additions which remain must, as provided in Reg.
ss.1.415-6(b)(6)(ii), be held unallocated in a suspense account for the
Limitation Year and reallocated in the next Limitation Year to all of the
remaining Participants in proportion to their RAYSOP allocation in such Plan
Year.

8.3 Coordination with Limitation on Benefit from All Plans --
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan to the contrary, in the case
of a Participant who also participates in any qualified defined benefit plan
which is maintained by the Employer (whether or not terminated), the sum of the
defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan fraction may not
exceed 1.0 for any Limitation Year. The defined benefit plan fraction for any
Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator of which is the projected annual
benefit of the Participant under the plan (determined as of the close of the
Limitation Year); and the denominator of which is the lesser of (i) the product
of 1.25, multiplied by the dollar limitation applicable to defined benefit
plans, in effect under applicable law for such Limitation Year; or (ii) the
product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
average compensation for the three consecutive calendar years during which he
had the highest aggregate compensation from the Employer. The defined
contribution plan fraction for any Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of the annual additions (as defined in Section 8.1) to the
Participant's Accounts as of the close of the Limitation Year; and the
denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts
determined for the current Limitation Year and each prior Limitation Year: (i)
the product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar limitation applicable to defined
contribution plans, in effect under applicable law for the Limitation Year; or
(ii) the product of 1.4 multiplied by 25% of such Participant's total
compensation for the Limitation Year. In the event that the limitation set forth
above is exceeded, adjustments shall be made in the defined benefit plan.

                                       26

8.4 Effective Date -- This Article VIII shall be effective for Limitation
Years beginning on or after January 1, 1987.

               ARTICLE IX - LIMITATIONS OF SECTION 416 OF THE CODE

9.1 General Rule -- In the event that the Plan becomes top heavy with respect to
a Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1984, the provisions of this
Article shall apply and shall supersede any conflicting provisions in the Plan.

9.2      Definitions --

(a) Key Employee: Any Employee or former Employee (and the Beneficiaries of such
Employee) who at any time during the determination period was an officer of the
Employer, an owner (or considered an owner under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the
Code) of one of the ten largest interests in the Employer if such individual's
compensation exceeds 150 percent of the dollar limitation under Section
415(c)(1)(A) of the Code, a five percent (5%) owner of the Employer, or a one
percent (1%) owner of the Employer who has an annual compensation of more than
$150,000. The determination period of the Plan is the Plan Year containing the
determination date and the four (4) preceding Plan Years. The determination of
who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the
Code and the regulations thereunder.

(b)      Non-Key Employee:  Any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

(c)      Top-Heavy Ratio:

(i) If the Employer maintains one or more defined benefit plans and the Employer
has never maintained any defined contribution plans (including any simplified
employee pension plan) which has covered or could cover a Participant in this
Plan, the Top-Heavy Ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
the present value of accrued benefits of all Key Employees as of the
determination date (including any part of any accrued benefit distributed in the
five-year period ending on the determination date), and the denominator of which
is the sum of all accrued benefits (including any part of any accrued benefit
distributed in the five-year period ending on the determination date) of all
Participants as of the determination date.

(ii) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including
any simplified employee pension plan) and the Employer maintains or has
maintained one or more defined benefit plans which have covered or could cover a
Participant in this Plan, the Top-Heavy Ratio is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of account balances under the defined contribution plans for
all Key Employees and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined
benefit plans for all Key Employees, and the denominator of which is the sum of
the account balances under the defined contribution plans for all Participants
and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for
all Participants. Both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are
adjusted for any distribution of an account balance or an accrued benefit made
in the five-year period ending on the determination date and any contribution
due but unpaid as of the determination date.

                                       27

(iii) For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of account balances and the
present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent
valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the
determination date. The account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant
who is not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year will be
disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which
distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in
accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
Deductible Employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of
computing the Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans, the value of account
balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the
determination dates that fall within the same calendar year. The accrued benefit
of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (a) the
method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined
benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (b) if there is no such method, as
if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted
under the fractional rule of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

(d) Permissive aggregation group: The required aggregation group of plans plus
any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a group with
the required aggregation group would continue to satisfy the requirements of
Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

(e) Required aggregation group: (i) Each qualified plan of the Employer in which
at least one Key Employee participates, and (ii) any other qualified plan of the
Employer which enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of
Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

(f) Determination date: For any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan Year, the
last day of the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan Year of the Plan, the
last day of that year.

(g) Valuation date: The last day of each Plan Year.

(h) Present Value: Present Value shall be based only on the interest rate used
by the Administrator to determine compliance with the funding requirements under
the Retirement Act and the mortality rates specified on an appropriate current
unisex table.

9.3 Determination as to Whether the Plan is Top Heavy -- The Administrator shall
determine whether the Plan is top heavy within the meaning of Section 416. The
Plan shall be top heavy for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1983, if,
as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the "determination date"), any of
the following conditions exist:

                  (a) If the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds sixty percent
(60%) and this Plan is not part of any required aggregation group or permissive
aggregation group of plans;

                  (b) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group of
plans (but which is not part of a permissive aggregation group) and the
Top-Heavy Ratio for the group of plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or

                                       28

                  (c) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group of
plans and part of a permissive aggregation group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the
permissive aggregation group exceeds sixty percent (60%).

In determining whether the Plan is top heavy for Plan Years commencing after
December 31, 1984, the Account balance of a Participant who has not performed an
Hour of Service for the Employer at any time during the five-consecutive-year
period ending on the determination date shall be excluded from the calculation
of the Top Heavy Ratio.

9.4 Minimum Contribution -- For each Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is
top heavy, the minimum amount allocated under the Plan for the benefit of each
Participant who is a Non-Key Employee and who is otherwise eligible for such an
allocation shall be the lesser of:

(a) three percent (3%) of the Non-Key Participant's compensation (within the
meaning of Section 415 of the Code) for the Plan Year, or

(b) the Non-Key Participant's compensation (as defined in Section 415 of the
Code) times a percentage equal to the largest percentage of such compensation
(not exceeding $200,000, $150,000 for Plan Years beginning on or after January
1, 1994) allocated to any Key Employee for the Plan Year under this Plan and all
other defined contribution plans in the same required aggregation group. This
clause (b) shall not apply to any plan required to be included in an aggregation
group if such plan enables a defined benefit plan required to be included in
such group to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or Section 410 of the
Code.

This paragraph shall not apply to a Participant covered under a qualified
defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer if the Participant's vested
benefit thereunder satisfies the requirements of Section 416(c) of the Code.
Notwithstanding any other language herein, a Non-Key Eligible Employee may not
fail to receive a defined contribution minimum allocation because either (1)
said Eligible Employee was excluded from participation (or accrues no benefit)
merely because the Employee's compensation is less than the stated amount, or
(2) the Employee is excluded from participation (or accrues no benefit) merely
because of a failure to make Elective Deferrals.

9.5      Accelerated Vesting --

                  (a) For each Plan Year during which the Plan is top heavy, a
vesting schedule which complies with the requirements of Section 416(b)(1)(a) of
the Code will be placed in effect. Each Participant in a Period of Service
during a Plan Year in which the Plan is top-heavy will be entitled to a
Nonforfeitable right to one hundred percent (100%) of the pension benefit
accrued from Employer contributions provided said Participant has completed a
Period of Service with the Employer of at least three (3) years.

                  (b) In the event that an accelerated vesting schedule must be
placed in effect in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section 9.5 and the
Plan is later determined not to be top heavy, no vesting schedule change shall
be made which shall have the effect of providing a benefit to a Participant less
than the accrued cumulative benefit to which the Participant was otherwise
entitled as of the date of said vesting schedule change pursuant to said
subparagraph (a).

                                       29

                           ARTICLE X - THE TRUST FUND

10.1 Trust Agreement -- During the period in which this Plan remains in
existence, the Employer or any successor thereto shall maintain in effect a
Trust Agreement with a corporate trustee as Trustee, to hold, invest, and
distribute the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of such Trust Agreement.

10.2 Investment of Accounts -- The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the
Participant's accounts in investment options as defined in Section 4.1 as
directed by the Administrator or its delegate in writing. The Administrator
shall issue such directions in accordance with the investment options selected
by the Participants which shall remain in force until altered in accordance with
Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

10.3   Expenses -- Expenses of the Plan and Trust shall be paid from the Trust.
         
                     ARTICLE XI - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

11.1 General Administration -- The general administration of the Plan shall be
the responsibility of Raytheon Company (or any successor thereto) which shall be
the Administrator and Named Fiduciary for purposes of the Retirement Act. The
Company shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to construe the terms
of the Plan and to make determinations as to eligibility for benefits and as to
other issues within the "Responsibilities of the Administrator" described in
Article XI, Section 11.2. All such determinations of the Company shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.

11.2 Responsibilities of the Administrator -- The Administrator shall assign
responsibility for performance of all necessary administrative duties, including
the following:

(a) Determination of all questions which may arise under the Plan with respect
to eligibility for participation and administration of accounts, including
without limitation questions with respect to membership, vesting, loans,
withdrawals, accounting, status of accounts, stock ownership and voting rights,
and any other issue requiring interpretation or application of the Plan.

(b) Reference of appropriate issues to the Offices of the Executive Vice
President - Chief Financial Officer, the Senior Vice President Treasurer, the
Director of Tax Affairs, the Senior Vice President General Counsel, and the
Senior Vice President - Human Resources, respectively, for advice and counsel.

(c) Establishment of procedures required by the Plan, such as notification to

borrowing account balances, designation of beneficiaries, election of method of
distribution, and any other matters requiring a uniform procedure.

(d) Submission of necessary amendments to supplement omissions from the Plan or
reconcile any inconsistency therein.

(e) Filing appropriate reports with the Government as required by law.

(f) Appointment of a Trustee or Trustees and investment managers.

                                       30

(h) Appointment of such additional Fiduciaries as deemed necessary for the

11.3 Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries -- Each Fiduciary shall be
responsible only for the duties allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary, and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility
with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary unless:

                  (a) The Fiduciary knowingly participates in or knowingly
attempts to conceal the act or omission of such other Fiduciary and knows that
such act or omission constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility by the
other Fiduciary;

                  (b) The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary
responsibility by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable efforts under
the circumstances to remedy the breach; or

                  (c) The Fiduciary's own breach of his specific fiduciary
responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach. No Fiduciary
shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his assumption of
Fiduciary status or after his termination from such status.

11.4 Employment by Fiduciaries -- Any Fiduciary hereunder may employ, with the
written approval of the Administrator, one or more persons to render service
with regard to any responsibility which has been assigned to such Fiduciary
under the terms of the Plan including legal, tax, or investment counsel and may
delegate to one or more persons any administrative duties (clerical or
otherwise) hereunder.

11.5 Recordkeeping -- The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept any
necessary data required for determining the account status of each Participant.
In compiling such information, the Administrator may rely upon its employment
records, including representations made by the Participant in the employment
application and subsequent documents submitted by the Participant to the
Employer. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such information when
furnished by the Administrator or its delegate. Each Employee shall be required
to furnish the Administrator upon request and in such form as prescribed by the
Administrator, such personal information, affidavits and authorizations to
obtain information as the Administrator may deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Plan, including but not limited to proof of the Employee's
date of birth and the date of birth of any person designated by a Participant as
a Beneficiary.

11.6 Claims Review Procedure -- The Administrator shall make all determinations
as to the right of any person to Accounts under the Plan. Any such determination
by the Administrator shall be made pursuant to the following procedure:

                                       31

         Step 1. Claims with respect to an Account should be filed by a claimant
as soon as practicable after claimant knows or should know that a dispute has
arisen with respect to an Account, but at least thirty (30) days prior to the
claimant's actual retirement date or, if applicable, within sixty (60) days
after the death, Disability or Severance from Service of the Participant whose
account is at issue, by mailing a copy of the claim to the Benefits and Services
Department, Raytheon Company, 141 Spring Street, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

         Step 2. In the event that a claim with respect to an Account is wholly
or partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator shall, within ninety
(90) days following receipt of the claim, so advise the claimant in writing
setting forth: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; specific reference
to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the
claim; an explanation as to why such material or information is necessary; and
an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

         Step 3. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of the denial of a
claim with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have the denial
appealed shall file a request for review with the Administrator by mailing a
copy thereof to the address shown in Step 1.

         Step 4. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request for
review, the Administrator shall provide the claimant a further opportunity to
present his or her position. At the Administrator's discretion, such
presentation may be through an oral or written presentation. Prior to such
presentation, the claimant shall be permitted the opportunity to review
pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing. Within a
reasonable time following presentation of the claimant's position, which usually
should not exceed thirty (30) days, the Administrator shall inform the claimant
in writing of the decision on review setting forth the reasons for such decision
and citing pertinent provisions in the Plan.

The Administrator is the fiduciary to whom the Plan grants full discretion, with
the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to determine whether a claimant is
eligible for benefits; to decide the amount, form and timing of benefits; and to
resolve any other matter under the Plan which is raised by a claimant or
identified by the Administrator. All questions arising from or in connection
with the provisions of the Plan and its administration, not herein provided to
be determined by the Board of Directors, shall be determined by the
Administrator, and any determination so made shall be conclusive and binding
upon all persons affected thereby.

11.7 Indemnification of Directors and Employees -- The Companies shall indemnify
by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a director, officer or employee
of the Employer, his heirs and legal representatives, against all liability and
reasonable expense, including counsel fees, amounts paid in settlement and
amounts of judgments, fines or penalties, incurred or imposed upon him in
connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of acts or omissions in his capacity
as a Fiduciary hereunder, provided that such act or omission is not the result
of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Companies may indemnify other
Fiduciaries, their heirs and legal representatives, under the circumstances, and
subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, if such
indemnification is determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best
interests of the Companies.

                                       32

11.8 Immunity from Liability -- Except to the extent that Section 410(a) of the
Retirement Act prohibits the granting of immunity to Fiduciaries from liability
for any responsibility, obligation, or duty imposed under Title I, Subtitle B,
Part 4, of said Act, an officer, employee, member of the Board of Directors of
the Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this Plan shall be
immune from any liability for any action or failure to act except such action or
failure to act which results from said officer's, Employee's, Participant's or
other person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                 ARTICLE XII - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

12.1     Right to Amend or Terminate Plan

Each of the Companies reserves the right at any time or times, by action of its
Board of Directors, to modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part
as to its Employees, in which event a certified copy of the resolution of the
Board of Directors, authorizing such modification, amendment or termination
shall be delivered to the Trustee and to the other Companies whose Employees are
covered by this Plan, provided, however, no amendment to the Plan shall be made
which shall:

(a) deprive any Participant of amounts allocated to his Account prior to the 
date of the amendment;

                  (b) except as provided in Section 3.11, make it possible for
any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be used for or diverted to
purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their
beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to such
Participant or their Beneficiaries;

                  (c) modify the vesting schedule and deprive a Participant of
his Nonforfeitable rights to amounts allocated to his account prior to the date
of the amendment. Further, if the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, or
the Plan is amended to directly or indirectly affect a Nonforfeitable percentage
of a Participant's Account, each Participant with a Period of Service of at
least three years may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of
the amendment to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan
without regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be
made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or the change made
and shall end on the latest of:

          (i)       60 days after the amendment is adopted;

          (ii)      60 days after the amendment becomes effective, or

          (iii)     60 days after the Participant is issued written notice
of the amendment;

                  (d) increase the duties of liabilities of the Trustee without
its consent.

                                       33

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provisions
of this Plan, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be made
retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan with, or to
satisfy the conditions of, the Retirement Act, the Code, or any other law,
governmental regulation or ruling.

Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan shall be subject to
approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

12.2 Maintenance of Plan -- The Company has established the Plan with the bona
fide intention and expectation that it will be able to make its contributions
indefinitely, but the Company is not and shall not be under any obligation or
liability whatsoever to continue its contributions or to maintain the Plan for
any given length of time.

12.3 Termination of Plan and Trust -- The Plan and Trust hereby created shall
terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination executed by the Company
specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall terminate;

 (b) Adjudication of the Company as bankrupt or general assignment by the
Company to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution of the Company;

         In the event of the complete termination of this Plan or the complete
discontinuance of Matching Contributions under it (but a rescission under
Section 13.2 for failure to qualify initially is not such a termination or
complete discontinuance), the rights of each Participant to the amounts then
credited to his or her Account shall be Nonforfeitable. In the event of the
partial termination of this Plan, the rights of each Employee (as to whom the
Plan is considered terminated) to the amounts then credited to his or her
Account, shall be Nonforfeitable. Whether or not there is a complete or partial
termination of this Plan shall be determined under the regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent this paragraph is
inconsistent with any provisions contained elsewhere in this Plan or in the
Trust which forms a part of this Plan, this paragraph shall govern. Upon such
termination of the Plan and Trust, after payment of all expenses and
proportional adjustment of accounts to reflect such expenses, fund losses or
profits, and reallocations to the date of termination, each Participant or
former Participant shall, subject to the requirements of Section 401(k)(10) of
the Code and Reg. ss. 1.401(k)-1(d)(3), be entitled to receive any amounts then
credited to his or her Account in the Trust Fund. The Trustee may make payments
in cash or, to the extent permitted by Section 6.6, in stock.

                      ARTICLE XIII - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer -- In the event of any merger
or consolidation with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any other plan or
to this Plan, each Participant of the Plan shall be entitled to a benefit
immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, which is equal to or
greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had been
terminated).

                                       34

13.2 Necessity of Initial Qualification -- This Plan is established with the
intent that it shall qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code as
that section exists at the time the Plan is established. If the Internal Revenue
Service determines that the Plan initially fails to meet those requirements,
then within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination all of the
assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of Participants and their
beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the contributors to the Plan
in proportion to their contributions, and the Plan shall be considered to be
rescinded and of no force or effect, unless such inadequacy is removed by a
retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code. Any nonvested Matching Contributions
and earnings attributable thereto shall be returned to the Companies.

13.3 Limitation of Assignment -- No account under the Plan shall be subject in
any manner to attachment, anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance or charge, or the vesting of rights in any person by
operation of law or otherwise except as provided under this Plan, including but
not limited to the Trustee or Receiver in Bankruptcy, and any attempt so to
anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, encumber or charge the same shall
be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any way liable for or subject to the
debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person entitled to
such benefit. If any Participant is adjudicated bankrupt, or attempts to
anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any
benefit under the Plan, then such benefit shall, in the discretion of the
Administrator, cease and terminate and in that event the Trustee shall hold or
apply the same or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant in
such manner as the Administrator may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator is authorized to comply with a
domestic relations order determined by it to be a qualified domestic relations
order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. A distribution may be made to an
alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order in the form of a lump
sum payment at the time specified in such order, regardless of any restrictions
on the commencement of the distribution that then may apply to the Participant
to whom the order relates.

13.4 Limitation of Rights of Employees -- This Plan is strictly a voluntary
undertaking on the part of the Companies and shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract between any of the Companies and any Employee, or to be a consideration
for, or an inducement to, or a condition of the employment of any Employee.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to
be retained in the service of any of the Companies or shall interfere with the
right of any of the Companies to discharge or otherwise terminate the employment
of any Employee of the Company at any time. No Employee shall be entitled to any
right or claim hereunder except to the extent such right is specifically fixed
under the terms of the Plan.

13.5 Construction -- The Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except to the extent that
the Retirement Act otherwise requires. In the event that any provision of this
Plan is inconsistent with any provision in the Retirement Act, the provision in
the Retirement Act shall be deemed to be controlling.

                                       35

13.6 Merger of United Engineers & Constructors, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and the
United Engineers & Constructors, Inc. Boston Employees Profit Sharing Plan --
Effective as of December 31, 1994, or such earlier date as is determined to be
administratively feasible (the "Merger Date"), the United Engineers &
Constructors, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and the United Engineers & Constructors,
Inc. Boston Employees Profit Sharing Plan (the "Merged Plans") shall be merged
into this Plan. All assets held under the trust agreements for each of the
Merged Plans shall be transferred to the Trustee, such transfer to be effective
as of the Merger Date. Amounts held in the various investment accounts under the
trust agreements for each of the Merged Plans shall be transferred to the
investment accounts under the Trust in accordance with procedures established by
the Administrator. Upon such transfer, the assets of the Merged Plans shall
become assets of this Plan for all purposes hereunder, effective as of the
Merger Date, and this Plan shall assume all the liabilities of the Merged Plans,
and benefits shall thereafter be allocated and paid pursuant to the provisions
of this Plan. All participants in the Merged Plans shall remain fully vested in
their accounts which are transferred to this Plan. All withdrawal and
distribution options under each of the Merged Plans shall be made available
under this Plan with respect to the transferred accounts to the extent required
by Section 411(d)(6) of the Code. Any amendments to this Plan which are
effective prior to January 1, 1994 shall be considered as amendments to each of
the Merged Plans as well.

13.7 Transfer of Assets from Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan --
Effective as of December 31, 1994, or such earlier date as is administratively
feasible (the "Transfer Date") the account balances of those participants under
the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan who are employed on the
non-exempt and exempt salaried payrolls of Harbert-Yeargin, Inc. (the
"Transferred Accounts") shall be transferred into this Plan. Assets equal to the
Transferred Accounts shall be transferred from the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings

                    RAYTHEON SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN FOR
                       SPECIFIED HOURLY PAYROLL EMPLOYEES

                     Provisions in Effect as of May 5, 1998

                              ARTICLE I - PREAMBLE

         The Raytheon  Savings and Investment Plan for Specified  Hourly Payroll
Employees,  which became effective on June 30, 1986,  provides  employees with a
tax-effective  means of  allocating  a portion of their salary to be invested in
one or more investment  opportunities specified in the Plan as determined by the
employee and set aside for short-term and long-term  needs of the employee.  The
Plan is  applicable  only to eligible  employees who meet the  requirements  for
participation on or after June 30, 1986.

         It is intended  that the Plan will comply with all of the  requirements
for a qualified  profit  sharing  plan under  Sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the
Internal  Revenue  Code  and  will be  amended  from  time  to time to  maintain
compliance with these requirements. The terms used in the Plan have the meanings
specified in Article XIV unless the context indicates otherwise.

         The Plan is intended to constitute a plan  described in Section  404(c)
of the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act and  Title 29 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, ss. 2550.404(c)-1. Participants in the Plan are responsible
for selecting  their own  investment  opportunities  from the options  available
under the Plan and the Plan  fiduciaries  are relieved of any  liability for any
losses which are a direct and necessary result of investment  instructions given
by a participant or beneficiary.

         The Plan as restated  herein  shall be  effective as of July 1, 1994 or
such other dates as may be specifically  provided  herein.  The rights of former
Employees  whose  Severance  from Service Date occurred prior to the date of any
amendment  shall  be  governed  by the  terms  of the  Plan in  effect  on their

                            ARTICLE II - ELIGIBILITY

         2.1  Eligibility  Requirements  -- Each Eligible  Employee may join the
Plan as of the first Entry Date coincident with or next following  completion of
a Period of Service of three (3) consecutive months commencing on the Employee's
Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement date, whichever is applicable, or
any subsequent Entry Date selected by the Eligible  Employee  provided he or she
continues in the same Period of Service or meets the requirements  under Section
2.2.

         2.2 Procedure for Joining the Plan -- Each Eligible  Employee who meets
the requirements of Section 2.1 may join the Plan by communicating with Fidelity
in  accordance  with  instructions  in an  enrollment  kit  which  will  be made
available to each  Eligible  Employee.  An  enrollment  in the Plan shall not be
deemed to have been completed until the Employee has designated: a percentage by
which  Participants'  Eligible  Compensation  shall be  reduced  as an  Elective
Deferral in  accordance  with the  requirements  of Section 3.2,  subject to the

                                       2

nondiscrimination test described in Section 3.3; election of investment funds as
described in Article IV; one or more  Beneficiaries;  and such other information
as  specified  by  Fidelity.  Enrollment  will  be  effective  as of  the  first
administratively  feasible Pay Period  following  completion of enrollment.  The
Administrator  in its  discretion  may from  time to time  make  exceptions  and
adjustments in the foregoing procedure on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis.

         2.3  Transfer to Position  Not Covered by Plan -- If a  Participant  is
transferred to another position with the Employer in which the Participant is no
longer an Eligible  Employee,  the Participant  will remain a Participant of the
Plan with respect to Elective  Deferrals  previously  made but will no longer be
eligible to have Elective  Deferrals made to the Plan on his or her behalf until
he or she again becomes an Eligible  Employee.  In the event the  Participant is
subsequently  transferred  to a  position  in which he or she again  becomes  an
Eligible Employee, the Participant may renew Elective Deferrals by communicating
with Fidelity and providing all of the  information  requested by Fidelity.  The
renewal of Elective Deferrals will be effective as of the first administratively
feasible Pay Period following receipt by Fidelity of the requested information.


                           ARTICLE III - CONTRIBUTIONS

         3.1 Employer  Contributions  -- The Companies  shall  contribute to the
Trust  established  under  this Plan from Net Annual  Profits or Net  Profits an
amount equal to the total amount of Elective  Deferrals agreed to be made by the
Companies pursuant to designation by Participants.

         3.2  Elective  Deferrals  --  Elective  Deferrals  must  be made in one
percent (1%) increments with a minimum Elective  Deferral of one percent (1%) of
Eligible  Compensation  and a maximum  Elective  Deferral of  seventeen  percent
(17%); provided, however, that effective for any Plan Year beginning on or after
January 1, 1987,  in no event may the amount of Elective  Deferrals to the Plan,
when taken into  account  with all other  elective  deferral (as defined in Code
Section  402(g)) made by a  Participant  under any other plan  maintained by the
Employer, exceed $7,000 (adjusted for increases in the cost of living under Code
Section  402(g)) in any calendar year. If a Participant  participates in another
plan or  arrangement  which is not  maintained by the Employer and which permits
elective  deferrals in any calendar year and his total Elective  Deferrals under
the Plan and other plan(s)  exceed  $7,000 (as adjusted) in a calendar  year, he
may request to receive a  distribution  of the amount of the excess  deferral (a
deferral in excess of $7,000 (as  adjusted))  that is  attributable  to Elective
Deferrals to this Plan  together  with  earnings  thereon,  notwithstanding  any
limitations on distributions  contained in the Plan. Such distribution  shall be
made by the April 15  following  the Plan Year in which the  Elective  Deferrals
were made,  provided  that the  Participant  notifies the  Administrator  of the
amount of the excess deferral that is attributable to Elective  Deferrals to the
Plan and requests such a distribution. The Participant's notice must be received
by the  Administrator  no later than the March 1 following  the Plan Year of the
excess  deferral.  In the  absence of such  notice,  the  amount of such  excess
deferral attributable to Elective Deferrals to this Plan shall be subject to all
limitations  on  withdrawals  and  distributions  in the Plan.  In  addition  to
distributing   excess  deferrals  at  the  request  of  the   Participant,   the


                                       3

Administrator  shall  distribute any deferrals made under this Plan or any other
plan of the Employer in excess of the statutory  maximum  deferral of $7,000 (as
adjusted).  For  this  purpose  as  provided  in 26 CFR  ss.1.402(g)-1(e)(2),  a
Participant is deemed to notify the  Administrator  of any excess deferrals that
arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and
any other plans of this  Employer and to request  that such excess  deferrals be
distributed by the Plan Administrator. The distribution of excess deferrals will
include any earnings or be reduced by any loss allocable to the excess deferrals
pursuant to the Plan method of allocating  earnings or losses and  calculated to
the last day of the Plan Year in which the excess deferrals were made.

         The Administrator may establish  prospectively  lower limits for Higher
Paid  Participants  for the purpose of  complying  with  Internal  Revenue  Code
requirements in an orderly manner.

         3.3      Limitations on Elective Deferrals --

                  (a) In no event may Elective  Deferrals  made on behalf of all
Higher Paid Eligible Employees with respect to any Plan Year result in an Actual
Deferral  Percentage  for such group of Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employees  which
exceeds the greater of (i) or (ii) where:

                  (i) is an amount  equal to 125 percent of the Actual  Deferral
         Percentage  for  all  Non-Higher  Paid  Eligible   Employees  who  have
         satisfied the  eligibility  requirements  of Article II with respect to
         such Plan Year; and

                  (ii) is an amount equal to the Actual Deferral  Percentage for
         all  Non-Higher   Paid  Eligible   Employees  who  have  satisfied  the
         eligibility  requirements  of Article II with respect to such Plan Year
         and two  percent  (2%),  provided  that such amount does not exceed 200
         percent of such Actual Deferral Percentage.

                  (b) The  Administrator  shall be authorized to implement rules
authorizing  or requiring  reductions in Elective  Deferrals that may be made by
Higher Paid Eligible  Employees during the Plan Year (prior to any contributions
to the Trust) so that the limitation of Section 3.3(a) is satisfied.

                  (c)  The  Company  may  in  its   discretion   make  Qualified
Nonelective  Contributions  to the Accounts of certain  Non-Higher Paid Eligible
Employees to the extent required to satisfy the limitations of Section 3.3(a).

                  (d) If the limitation  under Section 3.3(a) is exceeded in any
Plan Year, the Excess  Amounts made on behalf of Higher Paid Eligible  Employees
with  respect  to a Plan Year (and  earnings  allocable  thereto)  shall then be
distributed to such Employees as soon as practicable  after the end of such Plan
Year, but no later than the last day of the immediately following Plan Year. The
Excess  Amounts  distributed  shall  include  Elective  Deferrals and the income
allocable  thereto.  The amount of income  allocable to Excess  Amounts shall be
determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the
Code and shall  include  income for the Plan Year for which the  Excess  Amounts
were  made.  Any  such  distributions  shall be  reduced  by the  amount  of any
distributions made pursuant to Section 3.2 above.

                                       4

                  (e) The  Administrator  may  utilize  any  combination  of the
methods described in Sections 3.3(b), (c) and (d) to assure that the limitations
of Section 3.3(a) are satisfied.

                  (f) For purposes of this Section 3.3, the following 
definitions and special rules shall apply:

                  (i) The term  "Annual  Earnings"  means the  Employee's  wages
         which are required to be reported on IRS Form W-2 for the calendar year
         which coincides with the Plan Year.

                  (ii) The term "Actual  Deferral  Percentage"  shall mean, with
         respect to any group of actively employed  Eligible  Employees who have
         satisfied the  eligibility  requirements of Article II for a Plan Year,
         the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible
         Employee in the group, of:

                           (A) The  amount  of  Elective  Deferrals  paid to the
                  Trust Fund for such Plan Year, divided by

                           (B)  The   Eligible   Employee's   Annual   Earnings,
                  including any Elective  Deferrals made by the Companies to the
                  Plan on  behalf  of the  Eligible  Employee  and  any  pre-tax
                  elective   contributions  made  by  the  Companies  which  are
                  excludible from the Eligible  Employee's  income under Section
                  125 of the Code.

         Elective  Deferrals shall be taken into account for a Plan Year only if
         such amounts are allocated to the Eligible  Employee's  Account as of a
         date within that Plan Year. For this purpose,  an Elective  Deferral is
         considered  allocated as of a date within a Plan Year if the allocation
         is not  contingent on  participation  or  performance of services after
         such date and the Elective  Deferral is actually paid to the Trust Fund
         no later than 12 months  after the Plan Year to which the  contribution
         relates.

                  (iii) The term  "Excess  Amounts"  shall mean with  respect to
         each Higher Paid Eligible  Employee who has  satisfied the  eligibility
         requirements  of Article II for a Plan Year,  the amount equal to total
         Elective Deferrals made on behalf of such Employee (determined prior to
         the application of the leveling  procedure  described  below) minus the
         product of the Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage  (determined after
         the  leveling  procedure  described  below)  multiplied  by the  amount
         specified  in  Section  3.3(f)(ii)(B)  above.  In  accordance  with the
         regulations  issued under Section  401(k) of the Code,  Excess  Amounts
         shall be  determined  by a leveling  procedure  under  which the Actual
         Deferral  Percentage  of the Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employee  with the
         highest  such  percentage  shall be reduced to the extent  required  to
         enable the  limitation  of  Section  3.3(a) to be  satisfied  or, if it
         results  in a lower  reduction,  to the extent  required  to cause such
         Higher Paid Eligible Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage to equal the
         Actual  Deferral  Percentage of the Higher Paid Eligible  Employee with
         the next highest Actual Deferral  Percentage.  This leveling  procedure
         shall be repeated until the limitation of Section 3.3(a) is satisfied.

                                       5

                  (iv)  The term  "Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions"  means
         contributions  that are made  pursuant  to Sections  3.3(c),  3.8(c) or
         3.12, meet the requirements of Section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the
         regulations issued thereunder,  and which are designated as a Qualified
         Nonelective  Contribution for purposes of satisfying the limitations of
         Sections 3.3(c),  3.8(c) or 3.12. Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions
         shall  be  nonforfeitable  when  made  and  are  distributable  only in
         accordance  with the  distribution  and withdrawal  provisions that are
         applicable to Elective  Deferrals  under the Plan;  provided,  however,
         that  Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions  may  not be  withdrawn  on
         account  of   financial   hardship.   If  any   Qualified   Nonelective
         Contributions  are  made,  the  Company  shall  keep  such  records  as
         necessary to reflect the amount of such contributions made for purposes
         of satisfying the limitations of Sections 3.3(c), 3.8(c) or 3.12.

                  (v) In the event the Companies maintain two or more plans that
         are treated as a single plan for  purposes  of Sections  401(a)(4)  and
         410(b) of the Code (other than Section  410(b)(2)(A)(ii)  of the Code),
         all  elective  deferrals  made under the two plans  shall be treated as
         made  under  a  single  plan,  and if two or more  of  such  plans  are
         permissively  aggregated  for  purposes of Section  401(k) of the Code,
         such plans shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of satisfying
         Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code.

                  (vi) In determining the Actual Deferral Percentage of a Higher
         Paid Eligible Employee, all cash or deferred arrangements in which such
         Higher Paid  Eligible  Employee is  eligible  to  participate  shall be
         treated as a single arrangement.

                  (vii) The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the
         Code shall apply to any Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employee  who is a five
         percent  owner or one of the ten most  highly  compensated  Higher Paid
         Eligible  Employees.  The  Actual  Deferral  Percentage  for the family
         group,  which is treated as one Higher Paid Eligible  Employee,  is the
         Actual Deferral  Percentage  determined by combining the  contributions
         and  compensation of all eligible Family Members.  Except to the extent
         taken into  account in this  Paragraph  (vii),  the  contributions  and
         compensation  of all Family Members are  disregarded in determining the
         Actual Deferral Percentages for all Employees.

                  (g) The  limitations  of this  Section 3.3 shall apply to Plan
Years  beginning on or after January 1, 1987 and shall be separately  applied to
those  Eligible  Employees who are included in a unit of Employees  covered by a
collective  bargaining  agreement,  and to those Eligible  Employees who are not
included in such a collective bargaining unit.

         3.4 Reinstatement of Reduced Amounts -- Any reduction effected pursuant
to Section 3.3 will remain in effect for the remainder of the Plan Year in which
the reduction  occurs and will not be  automatically  reinstated.  A Participant
whose  Elective  Deferral  has been  reduced  may elect to  increase  his or her
Elective  Deferral  effective as of any Entry Date subsequent to notice from the
Administrator  that Elective  Deferrals may be increased as of a specified Entry
Date. This election must be made in accordance  with the procedure  described in
Section 3.5.

                                       6

         3.5 Change in Elective  Deferrals -- Except as provided in Sections 3.3
and 3.4, any Participant may change his or her Elective  Deferral  percentage to
increase or decrease said percentage by notifying Fidelity,  such change to take
effect as of the next administratively feasible Pay Period.

         3.6 Voluntary Reduction of Elective Deferral to Zero -- Notwithstanding
the notice  requirements  specified in Section 3.5, any Participant may elect to
reduce  the  level  of the  Participant's  Elective  Deferral  to zero as of the
beginning  of any  Pay  Period.  The  reduction  will  take  effect  as  soon as
practicable  following telephone  notification by the Participant to Fidelity. A
Participant who has reduced his or her Elective  Deferral to zero may again make
Elective  Deferrals  as  of  the  next  administratively   feasible  Pay  Period
subsequent to telephone notification to Fidelity.

         3.7  Matching  Contributions  -- For each Plan Year,  commencing  on or
after January 1, 1987,  subject to limitations  imposed by the Internal  Revenue
Code,  the  Companies  will  match from Net Annual  Profits or Net  Profits  the
Elective  Deferral  of each  Participant  at the rate of  one-half  (1/2) of the
Participant's  Elective  Deferral on an annual basis,  provided that for any Pay
Period  the  matching  amount  shall  not  exceed  three  percent  (3%)  of  the
Participant's Eligible Compensation for that pay period.

         3.8      Limitations on Matching Contributions --

         (a) In no event may the  Matching  Contributions  made on behalf of all
Higher Paid Eligible Employees, or forfeitures allocated to the Accounts of such
Employees,  who have satisfied the  eligibility  requirements of Article II with
respect to any Plan Year, result in an Actual  Contribution  Percentage for such
group of Higher Paid Eligible Employees which exceeds the greater of (i) or (ii)
where:
                  (i)  is  an  amount   equal  to  125  percent  of  the  Actual
         Contribution  Percentage for all Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who
         have satisfied the eligibility  requirements of Article II with respect
         to such Plan Year; and

                  (ii) is an amount equal to the Actual Contribution  Percentage
         for all  Non-Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employees  who have  satisfied the
         eligibility  requirements  of Article II with respect to such Plan Year
         and two  percent  (2%),  provided  that such amount does not exceed 200
         percent of such Actual Contribution  Percentage.  (b) The Administrator
         shall  be  authorized  to  implement  rules  authorizing  or  requiring
         reductions in Matching Contributions that may be made by Higher Paid
         Eligible Employees during the Plan  Year  (prior to any  contributions
         to the  Trust  Fund),  so that the limitation of Section 3.8(a) is
         satisfied.

                                       7

         (c)  The  Company  may in its  discretion  make  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions to the accounts of certain  Non-Higher Paid Eligible  Employees to
the extent required to satisfy the limitations of Section 3.8(a).

         (d) If the  limitation  under  Section  3.8(a) is  exceeded in any Plan
Year, the Excess  Amounts made on behalf of Higher Paid Eligible  Employees with
respect  to  a  Plan  Year  (and  earnings  allocable  thereto)  shall  then  be
distributed to such Higher Paid Eligible  Employees as soon as practicable after
the end of such  Plan  Year  (or,  if  forfeitable  under the terms of the Plan,
forfeited),  but no later than the last day of the  immediately  following  Plan
Year.   The  Excess  Amounts   distributed   shall  include  both  the  Matching
Contributions and the income allocable  thereto.  The amount of income allocable
to Excess Amounts shall be determined in accordance with the regulations  issued
under Section  401(m) of the Code and shall include  income for the Plan Year to
which the Excess Amounts relate.

         (e)  Elective  Deferrals  and Matching  Contributions  shall be further
limited  to the  extent  required  to  prevent  prohibited  multiple  use of the
alternative   limitation   described   in  Sections   401(k)(3)(A)(ii)(II)   and
401(m)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code and the provisions of Reg. ss.1.401(m)-2(b) and any
further  guidance  issued  thereunder.  If such multiple use occurs,  the Actual
Contribution Percentage for all Higher Paid Eligible Employees (determined after
applying  the  foregoing  provisions  of this  Section  3.8) shall be reduced in
accordance with Reg. ss.1.401(m)-2(c) and any further guidance issued thereunder
in order to prevent such multiple use of the alternative limitation.

         (f) The  Administrator  may  utilize  any  combination  of the  methods
described  in Sections  3.8(b),  (c) and (d) to assure that the  limitations  of
Sections 3.8(a) and (e) are satisfied.

         (g)      For purposes of this Section  3.8, the  following  definitions
                  and special rules shall apply: (i) The term "Annual  Earnings"
                  shall have the meaning specified in Section 3.3(f)(i).

                  (ii) The term  "Actual  Contribution  Percentage"  shall mean,
         with respect to any group of actively employed  Eligible  Employees who
         have satisfied the  eligibility  requirements  of Article II for a Plan
         Year,  the average of the ratios,  calculated  separately for each such
         Eligible Employee in the group, of:

                           (A) The amount of Matching  Contributions paid to the
                  Trust  Fund for  such  Plan  Year on  behalf  of the  Eligible
                  Employee  plus the  amount  of  forfeitures  allocated  to the
                  Eligible Employee's Account, divided by

                           (B)  The   Eligible   Employee's   Annual   Earnings,
                  including any Elective  Deferrals made by the Companies to the
                  Plan  on  behalf  of the  Eligible  Employee  or  any  pre-tax
                  election contributions under a "cafeteria plan" (as defined in
                  Section 125 of the Code and applicable regulations) maintained
                  by the  Companies for such Plan Year.  Matching  Contributions
                  and  forfeitures  shall be taken into  account for a Plan Year
                  only if such amounts are allocated to the Eligible  Employee's
                  Account as of a date within that Plan Year,  such amounts are
                  actually  paid to the Trust no later  than 12 months  after 
                  the Plan  Year to which the  contribution relates and such
                  amounts  are  contributed on account of Elective Deferrals for
                  such Plan Year.

                                       8

                  (iii) The term  "Excess  Amounts"  shall mean with  respect to
         each  Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employee,  the amount  equal to the total
         Matching Contributions made on behalf of the Eligible Employee together
         with the  forfeitures  allocated  to the  Eligible  Employee's  Account
         (determined  prior  to  the  application  of  the  leveling   procedure
         described  below) minus the product of the Eligible  Employee's  Actual
         Contribution   Percentage  (determined  after  the  leveling  procedure
         described  below)   multiplied  by  the  amount  specified  in  Section
         3.8(g)(ii)(B)  above. In accordance  with the regulations  issued under
         Section  401(m) of the Code,  Excess  Amounts  shall be determined by a
         leveling  procedure under which the Actual  Contribution  Percentage of
         the Higher Paid  Eligible  Employee  with the highest  such  percentage
         shall be reduced to the extent  required  to enable the  limitation  of
         Section 3.8(a) to be satisfied or, if it results in a lower  reduction,
         to the extent  required to cause such Higher Paid  Eligible  Employee's
         Actual  Contribution   Percentage  to  equal  the  Actual  Contribution
         Percentage of the Higher Paid  Eligible  Employee with the next highest
         Actual  Contribution  Percentage.  This  leveling  procedure  shall  be
         repeated until the limitation of Section 3.8(a) is satisfied.

                  (iv) The term "Qualified Nonelective Contributions" shall have
         the meaning specified in Section 3.3(f)(iv).

                  (v) In the event the Companies maintain two or more plans that
         are treated as a single plan for  purposes  of Sections  401(a)(4)  and
         410(b) of the Code (other than Section  410(b)(2)(A)(ii)  of the Code),
         all Matching Contributions and forfeitures under the two plans shall be
         treated as made under a single  plan,  and if two or more of such plans
         are permissibly  aggregated for purposes of Section 401(m) of the Code,
         such plans shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of satisfying
         Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code.

                  (vi) In determining  the Actual  Contribution  Percentage of a
         Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employee,  all plans in which such  Higher Paid
         Eligible  Employee  is eligible  to  participate  shall be treated as a
         single arrangement.

                  (vii) The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the
         Code shall apply to any Higher  Paid  Eligible  Employee  who is a five
         percent  owner or one of the ten most  highly  compensated  Higher Paid
         Eligible Employees.  The Actual Contribution  Percentage for the family
         group,  which is treated as one Higher Paid Eligible  Employee,  is the
         Actual   Contribution    Percentage   determined   by   combining   the
         contributions  and compensation of all eligible Family Members.  Except
         to  the  extent  taken  into  account  in  this  Paragraph  (vii),  the
         contributions and compensation of all Family Members are disregarded in
         determining the Actual Contribution  Percentages for all Employees. (h)
         The limitations of this Section 3.8 shall apply to Plan Years beginning
         on or after January 1, 1987, and shall apply only to those Eligible
         Employees who are not included in a unit of employees covered by a
         collective bargaining unit.

                                       9

         3.9      Forfeitures --

                  (a) In the event that a  Participant  incurs a Severance  from
Service prior to attaining a Nonforfeitable right to the Participant's  Matching
Contribution,  the  Matching  Contribution  Account  will be forfeited as of the
first day of the month  immediately  following  the earliest of: (i) the date on
which the Participant  incurs a Period of Severance of five  consecutive  years;
(ii) death;  or (iii) the date on which the  Participant's  Employee  Account is
distributed in accordance with Article VI. Forfeitures of Matching Contributions
will be used to reduce future contributions of the Companies to the Plan.

         (b) If, in connection  with his Severance  from Service,  a Participant
received  a  distribution  of  his  Employee  Account  when  he did  not  have a
Nonforfeitable  right  to  his  Matching   Contribution  Account,  the  Matching
Contributions that were forfeited, unadjusted by any subsequent gains or losses,
shall be restored if he again becomes an Employee prior to incurring a Period of
Severance of five consecutive years, performs an Hour of Service, and repays the
full  value of his prior  distributions,  unadjusted  for  subsequent  gains and
losses,  before  the  first  to occur  of (i) the end of the  five  year  period
beginning  with the date he again  becomes an Employee or (ii) the date on which
he incurs a Period of Severance of five consecutive years.

         3.10     Rollover Contributions and Transfers --

         (a) Effective  April 1, 1991,  Participants  may transfer into the Plan
qualifying  rollover  amounts (as  defined in Section 402 of the Code)  received
from other  qualified  plans subject to Section  401(k) or Section 401(m) of the
Code; qualified defined  contribution pension or profit sharing plans,  provided
that no federal  income tax has been  required to have been paid  previously  on
such amounts;  or rollover  contributions from an individual  retirement account
described in Section 408(d)(3)(ii) of the Code (referred to herein as a "conduit
IRA");  or rollover  contributions  from the Raytheon  Stock  Ownership Plan for
Specified Hourly Payroll Employees by former  Participants in that plan who have
incurred a  Severance  from  Service.  Such  transfers  will be  referred  to as
"rollover contributions" and will be subject to the following conditions:

                  (i) the transferred funds are received by the Trustee no later
         than sixty (60) days from  receipt by the  Employee  of a  distribution
         from another qualified Section 401(k) or Section 401(m) plan or, in the
         event that the funds are transferred  from a conduit IRA, no later than
         sixty (60) days from the date that the Participant  receives such funds
         from the individual retirement account,  subject, however, to (v) below
         where applicable;

                  (ii) the  amount  of such  rollover  contributions  shall  not
         exceed the limitations set forth in Section 402 of the Code;

                  (iii)  rollover  contributions  shall be taken into account by
         the  Administrator in determining the  Participant's  eligibility for a
         loan pursuant to Article VII;

                  (iv) rollover  contributions may be distributed at the request
         of the Partici-pant,  subject to the same administrative  procedures as
         apply to other distributions;

                                       10

                  (v)  rollover  contributions   transferred  pursuant  to  this
         Section   3.10  shall  be  credited  to  the   Participant's   Rollover
         Contribution  Account.  Rollover  contributions  will be invested  upon
         receipt by the Trustee;

                  (vi) no rollover  contribution will be accepted unless (a) the
         Employee  on whose  behalf the  rollover  contribution  will be made is
         either a Participant or has notified the Administrator  that he intends
         to  become a  Participant  on the  first  date on which he is  eligible
         therefor,  or was a former  Participant in the Raytheon Stock Ownership
         Plan for Specified  Hourly  Payroll  Employees and the entire amount of
         the rollover  contribution is comprised of the Participant's account in
         that plan;  and (b) all required  information,  including  selection of
         specific  investment  accounts,  is  provided  to  Fidelity.  When  the
         rollover  contribution  has  been  deposited,  any  further  change  in
         investment  allocation  of future  deferrals  or  transfer  of  account
         balances  between   investment  funds  will  be  effected  through  the
         procedures set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. (b) Effective  January 1,
         1993,  Participants may direct that "eligible rollover  distributions,"
         as defined in Section  402(c) of the Code,  be  transferred  directly  
         to the Plan.  Rules  similar to those applicable to "rollover
         contributions" shall apply to amounts transferred directly to the Plan.

         (c)  Participants  who  are  also  covered  under  the  Raytheon  Stock
Ownership Plan or the Raytheon Stock Ownership Plan for Specified Hourly Payroll
Employees and who are entitled to diversify  their accounts under either of such
plans,  may direct  that the  portion of their  account  which is  eligible  for
diversification  under such plan be  transferred  to the Plan.  Rules similar to
those applicable to "rollover  contributions" shall apply to amounts transferred
to this Plan  except that such  transferred  amounts  shall not be eligible  for
loans or withdrawals.

         (d) Effective April 1, 1997, an Eligible Employee may transfer into the
Plan qualified rollover amounts (as defined in Section 401 of the Code) received
from other  qualified  plans subject to Section  401(k) or Section 401(m) of the
Code without  regard to whether the Eligible  Employee has completed a Period of
Service  of  three  (3)   consecutive   months   commencing  on  the  Employment
Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement Date as applicable.

         3.11 Refund of  Contributions to the Companies --  Notwithstanding  the
provisions of Article XII, if, or to the extent that, the Companies'  deductions
for contributions  made to the Plan are disallowed,  the Companies will have the
right to obtain  the return of any such  contributions  for a period of one year
from the date of  disallowance.  For this  purpose,  all Elective  Deferrals and
Matching  Contributions  are  made  subject  to the  conditions  that  they  are
deductible  under the Code for the taxable year of the  Companies  for which the
contribution is made. Furthermore, any contribution made by the Companies on the
basis of a mistake in fact may be returned to the Companies within one year from
the date such contribution was made.

                                       11

         3.12 Qualified Non-Elective  Contributions -- Specified Amounts -- Each
of the  Companies  may make  contributions  to the Plan on  behalf  of  eligible
Employees,  provided  that  the name of the  unit,  the  effective  date of such
contributions and the specified amount are set forth on Appendix B hereto.  Such
contributions  shall be  Qualified  Non-Elective  Contributions  as  defined  in
Section  3.3(f)(iv)  and shall be included in  determining  the actual  deferral
percentage  under  Section 3.3. If the  contributions  described in this Section
3.12 are made on behalf of an  Employee  who is not a  Participant,  an  Account
shall be established  for such Employee and the Employee shall have the right to
elect  investment  options  under  Section 4.1. If the Employee  does not make a
valid  election  in which  investment  options  are  designated  for 100% of the
Participant's  Account, then 100% of the Participant's Account shall be invested
in Fund B, a fixed income fund.  The Employee may, in  accordance  with Sections
4.2 and 4.3, change the investment  allocation for future deferrals and transfer
account balances between investment funds.

                       ARTICLE IV - INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

         4.1 Election of Investment  Funds -- Upon  enrollment in the Plan, each
Participant  shall direct that the funds in the  Participant's  Employee Account
and Matching  Contribution Account be invested in increments of one percent (1%)
in one or more of the following investment funds:

         Fund A - an equity fund  designated  by the  Administrator; 
         Fund B - a fixed income fund  designated by the  Administrator; 
         Fund C - Raytheon Company  common stock fund;
         Fund D - a stock index fund  designated by the  Administrator;
         Fund E - a balanced  fund  designated  by  the Administrator;
         Fund F - a growth  fund,  designated  by  the  Administrator,
                    investing  primarily  in equities of companies of all types
                    and sizes;
         Fund G - a growth  fund,  designated  by  the  Administrator,
                    investing   primarily in  equities of well-known and
                    established companies.

         In its discretion,  the  Administrator  may from time to time designate
new funds and,  where  appropriate,  preclude  investment in existing  funds and
provide  for the  transfer  of  Accounts  invested in those funds to other funds
selected  by the  Participant  or,  if no such  election  is made,  to Fund B or
similar low risk fixed income fund as  determined  by the  Administrator  in its
discretion.  Each  election  will apply to both  accounts  so that the  Employee
Account and Matching Contribution Account of the Participant will be invested in
the  same  percentages  in the  one or more  investment  funds  selected  by the
Participant.

         4.2  Change  in  Investment  Allocation  of  Future  Deferrals  -- Each
Participant  may elect to change the  investment  allocation of future  Elective
Deferrals, Matching Contributions and rollover contributions effective as of the
first  administratively  feasible Business Day subsequent to telephone notice to
Fidelity.  Any changes must be made either in  increments of one percent (1%) of
the Participant's  Account or in a specified whole dollar amount and must result
in a  total  investment  of one  hundred  percent  (100%)  of the  Participant's
Account.

                                       12

         4.3  Transfer  of Account  Balances  Between  Investment  Funds -- Each
Participant  may  elect  to  transfer  all or a  portion  of the  amount  in the
Participant's  Employee  Account,  Matching  Contribution  Account and  Rollover
Contribution  Account  between  investment  funds  effective  as  of  the  first
administratively  feasible Business Day following  telephone notice to Fidelity.
Such transfers must be made in either one percent (1%)  increments of the entire
Account or in a specified  amount in whole dollars and, as of the  completion of
the transfer,  must result in investment  of one hundred  percent  (100%) of the
Account.  Transfers  shall be  effected  by  telephone  notice to  Fidelity.  In
determining  the amount of the  transfer,  the  Participant's  Account  shall be
valued as of the close of business on the Business Day on which telephone notice
is received;  provided,  however, that in any case where the telephone notice is
received  after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time  (daylight or standard,  whichever is in
effect on the date of the call),  the Account shall be valued as of the close of
business on the next Business Day.

         4.4  Ownership  Status  of Funds -- The  Trustee  shall be the owner of
record of the assets in the funds  specified  as Funds A, B, C, D and E and such
other funds as may be established by the Administrator.  The Administrator shall
have records  maintained  as of the  Valuation  Date for each fund  allocating a
portion of the fund to each  Participant who has elected that his or her Account
be invested in such fund. The records shall reflect each  Participant's  portion
of  Funds  A, B, D and E, and such  other  funds  as may be  established  by the
Administrator,  in a cash amount and shall reflect each Participant's portion of
Fund C in cash and unitized shares of stock.

         4.5  Voting  Rights  --  Participants   whose  Account  has  shares  of
participation in the Raytheon Company Common Stock Fund on the last business day
of the second month  preceding the record date (the "Voting  Eligibility  Date")
for any meeting of  stockholders  have the right to  instruct  the Trustee as to
voting at such meeting.  The number of votes is determined by dividing the value
of the shares in the Participant's  Account in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund by
the closing price of Raytheon  Common Stock on the Voting  Eligibility  Date. If
the Trustee has not received  instructions  from a  Participant  as to voting of
shares within a specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote those shares. If
a Participant  furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote  direction  card without
indicating a voting choice thereon,  the Trustee shall vote Participant's shares
as recommended by management. In addition, each Participant shall have the right
to accept or reject any tender or exchange offer for shares of common stock. The
Trustee  shall vote (or tender or exchange)  all combined  fractional  shares of
Raytheon  Common  Stock to the extent  possible  in the same  proportion  as the
shares which have been voted (or tendered or exchanged) by each Participant. Any
instructions  as to voting  (or tender or  exchange)  received  from  individual
Participants  shall  be held in  confidence  by the  Trustee  and  shall  not be
divulged to the Companies or to any officer or employee  thereof or to any other
person.

                               ARTICLE V - VESTING

         5.1  Employee,   Rollover   Contribution  and  Qualified   Non-Elective
Contribution  Accounts -- Each Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable  right to
any amounts in the Participant's  Employee,  Rollover Contribution and Qualified
Non-Elective Contribution Accounts.

         5.2  Matching  Contribution  Account -- Each  Participant  shall have a
Nonforfeitable right to the Participant's Matching Contribution Account upon the
earliest of:

         (a)  Completion of a Period of Service of five (5) years  commencing on
or after June 30, 1986 (for  purposes of  determining  the length of a Period of
Service under this paragraph only, vesting service credited to an Employee under
Section  6.2(b) of the  Speed  Queen  Company  Retirement  Savings  Plan will be
credited to an Eligible Employee  regardless of whether such vesting service was
earned prior to June 30, 1986); or

         (b)  Completion  of a  Period  of  Participation  of  three  (3)  years
subsequent to fulfillment of the eligibility requirements in Section 2.1;

         (c) The Participant's Retirement,  death while an Employee,  Disability
or attainment of Normal Retirement Age; or

         (d) The date of  layoff  of  Participants  laid off as a result  of the
permanent closing of the Oxnard plant.

          (e) September 10, 1997 (or such other date on which the merger of

for those Employees who are employed by Raytheon Appliances, Inc. as of such
date and who did not become Employees of Raytheon Commercial Laundry, L.L.C. as
of September 11, 1997 (or, if different, the day immediately following the
closing of the merger of Raytheon Appliances, Inc. and Goodman Manufacturing
Company, L.P.).

         (f) May 5, 1998,  for those  Participants  employed  as of such date by
Raytheon Commercial Laundry,  LLC. in the bargaining unit at Raytheon Commercial
Laundry, LLC.'s plants in Ripon and Omro, Wisconsin,  represented by Local 1327,
United Steelworkers of America.

         Notwithstanding  anything in the Plan to the  contrary,  if the rate of
Matching   Contributions,   determined  after   application  of  the  corrective
mechanisms  described  in Section  3.3,  discriminates  in favor of Higher  Paid
Eligible  Employees,  any such amounts  attributable  to any Excess  Amounts (as
described in  Subsection  3.3(f)(iii))  of each  affected  Higher Paid  Eligible
Employee  shall  be  forfeited  so that  the rate of  Matching  Contribution  is
nondiscriminatory.  Any such forfeitures  shall be made no later than the end of
the Plan Year  following the Plan Year for which the Matching  Contribution  was
made and shall be treated in accordance with Section 3.9.

         5.3      Break in Service Rules

         (a)  Periods  of Service  -- In  determining  the length of a Period of
Service,  the  Administrator  shall  include all Periods of Service,  except the
following Periods of Service shall not be taken into account:

                  (i) a Period  of  Service  prior to a Period of  Severance  of
         twelve  (12)  months  or more,  unless  subsequent  to said  Period  of
         Severance  the  Participant  completes  a Period of Service of at least
         twelve (12) months; and

                                       14

                  (ii) in the case of a Participant who has incurred a Period of
         Severance  which  equals or exceeds  five years,  the Period of Service
         after such  Period of  Severance  shall not be taken into  account  for
         purposes of determining the nonforfeitable interest of such Participant
         in the Matching  Contributions  allocated to his Account  prior to such
         Period of  Severance. 

         (b) Periods of Severance -- In  determining  the length of a Period of
Service for purposes of Section 14.39, the Administrator shall exclude all 
Periods of Severance,  except that in the event a Participant returns from a 
quit,  discharge,  or Retirement, within twelve (12) months from the earlier of:

                  (i)      the date of the quit, discharge, or Retirement, or

                  (ii) if the Participant was absent from employment for reasons
         such as layoff or  Authorized  Leave of Absence on the day of the quit,
         discharge, or Retirement,  the first day of such absence, the period of
         absence will be included as a Period of Service. 

         (c) Other  Periods -- In making the  determinations  described in 
subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.3, the second, third, and fourth
consecutive years of a Layoff (from the first anniversary of the last day paid
to the fourth anniversary of the last day paid) and any period in excess of one
(1) year of an Authorized Leave of Absence shall be regarded as neither a Period
of Service nor a Period of Severance.

                   ARTICLE VI - WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

         6.1 In-Service  Withdrawals - Matching Contributions -- Upon completion
of a Period of  Participation  of five (5) years,  a  Participant  may withdraw,
subject to both a minimum  withdrawal  amount of $250 and the requirement that a
Participant  may withdraw no more than twice during a Plan Year, if no loans are
outstanding,  all or part of the Participant's  Matching  Contribution  Account.
Withdrawals  will be based  upon the value of the  Account as  determined  under
Section 6.8.  Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds as
may be established by the Administrator,  will be made in cash; withdrawals from
Fund C will be made in cash or stock  (with cash for  fractional  or  uninvested
shares) as directed by the  Participant.  Funds for the withdrawal will be taken
on a pro rata basis against the  Participant's  investment  fund balances in the
Participant's Matching Contribution Account.

         6.2  In-Service  Withdrawal  -  Employee  and  Qualified   Non-Elective
Contribution  Accounts  -- While in a  Period  of  Service,  a  Participant  may
withdraw assets from his or her Account as follows:

                  (i) all or a portion of the Participant's Employee Account and
         Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Account upon attainment of age
         59 1/2; or

                                       15

                  (ii) a  distributable  amount (as defined in Treas.  Reg.  ss.
         1.401(k)-1(d)(2))   on  account  of  a  hardship   as  defined  in  the
         regulation. A distribution is made on account of a hardship only if the
         distribution  both  is  made  on  account  of an  immediate  and  heavy
         financial  need of the  Participant  and is  necessary  to satisfy  the
         financial  need.  In  determining  the amount  required  to satisfy the
         financial need, the Administrator  shall take into account the federal,
         state and local  income taxes or penalties  reasonably  anticipated  to
         result from the withdrawal.  The  distributable  amount is equal to the
         Participant's  total Elective  Deferrals as of the date of distribution
         reduced by the amount of previous  distributions on account of hardship
         and increased by that portion of income allocable to Elective Deferrals
         which was  credited to the  Participant's  Account as of  December  31,
         1988.   Withdrawals  from  the  Employee  and  Qualified   Non-Elective
         Contribution  Accounts  of  less  than  $250  will  not  be  permitted.
         Withdrawals  will be based upon the value of the Account as  determined
         under Section 6.8 and will be effected by telephone notice to Fidelity.
         Payment  of the  amount  withdrawn  will be made as soon as  reasonably
         practicable  after the effective  date of the  withdrawal.  Withdrawals
         from  Funds  A,  B,  D,  E,  F and G and  such  other  funds  as may be
         established  by the  Administrator,  will be made in cash;  withdrawals
         from Fund C will be made in cash or stock (with cash for  fractional or
         unissued  shares),  as  elected  by  the  Participant.  Funds  for  the
         withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis against the  Participant's
         investment fund balances in the  Participant's  Employee  Account. 

        6.3    In-Service  Withdrawal - Rollover Contribution Account -- A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of the Participant's Rollover
Contribution Account. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the account as
determined under Section 6.8 and will be effected by telephone notice to
Fidelity. Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal. Withdrawals from Funds
A, B, D E, F and G will be made in cash. Withdrawals from Fund C will be made in
cash or stock (with cash for fractional or unissued shares) as elected by the
Participant.

         6.4    Requirements For Financial Hardship Withdrawals -- 

         (a) A Participant  requesting a withdrawal of the distributable  amount
of the  Participant's  Employee  Account due to reasons of  immediate  and heavy
financial  need must submit such  documentation  or information in other form as
required by the  Administrator  and shall advise Fidelity by telephone notice or
such other means as established by the  Administrator's  rules then in effect of
the  existence of an immediate  and heavy  financial  need and the fact that the
need will be satisfied by the requested distribution.

         (b) The Participant  shall represent that this financial need cannot be
satisfied by any of the following sources: through reimbursement or compensation
by insurance or  otherwise;  by  liquidation  of the  Participant's  assets;  by
cessation of Elective  Deferrals  under the Plan; or by other  distributions  or
non-taxable  (at the time of the loan)  loans  currently  available  from  plans
maintained  by the  Employer  or by any other  employer,  or by  borrowing  from
commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

                                       16

         (c) For purposes of Section 6.2,  "immediate and heavy  financial need"
is limited  to  financial  need  arising  from the  following  specific  causes:
expenses  for  medical  care  (as  described  in  Section  213(d)  of the  Code)
previously  incurred  by  the  Participant,  the  Participant's  spouse  or  any
dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code) of the Participant,  or which
are  necessary  for these  persons to obtain  medical care  described in Section
213(d) of the Code;  costs  directly  related  to the  purchase  of a  principal
residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments);  payment of tuition
and related  educational  expenses for the next twelve months of  post-secondary
education  for  the  Participant,  or  the  Participant's  spouse,  children  or
dependents (as defined in Section 152); expenses relating to the need to prevent
the eviction from or foreclosure on the Participant's  principal  residence;  or
any other  circumstances,  as determined by the Administrator based upon all the
relevant facts, establishing substantial justification for the withdrawal.

         (d) If a  Participant  receives a  withdrawal  for reasons of financial
hardship, his or her Elective Deferrals shall be reduced to six percent (6%), if
in excess  thereof as of the date of  distribution,  and shall not be  increased
during the twelve months immediately subsequent to the date of distribution.

         6.5 Redeposits  Prohibited -- No amount  withdrawn  pursuant to Section
6.1, Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 may be redeposited in the Plan.

         6.6  Distribution  --  Distribution  of  the  Participant's   Employee,
Rollover Contribution and Qualified  Non-Elective  Contribution Accounts and, if
the Participant has a Nonforfeitable  right to his or her Matching  Contribution
Account pursuant to Section 5.2, the Matching Contribution Account, will be made
at the direction of the Participant (or his legal  representative or Beneficiary
in the case of his  Disability  or death) upon the  Retirement,  Disability  (as
defined in Section  14.13),  death,  or  Severance  from  Service (as defined in
Section  14.49) of the  Participant.  In the event the  Participant  dies or his
Severance from Service occurs after his Normal  Retirement  Age, or if the value
of the Nonforfeitable  portion of the Participant's  Account as of the Valuation
Date which  coincides with or immediately  precedes the date of  distribution is
not in excess of $3,500,  the  Administrator  shall  cause the  distribution  to
automatically  be  made.  Payment  will  be  made  in the  form  of a  lump  sum
distribution  of the entire  amount in the  Participant's  Account (to which the
Participant  has  a  Nonforfeitable  right)  which  will  be  paid  as  soon  as
practicable  following  notification  to the Benefits  and Services  Department,
Raytheon Company, Lexington, Massachusetts, of the Retirement, death, Disability
or Severance from Service and a telephone request by the Participant to Fidelity
for the distribution.  Distributions will be based upon the Value of the Account
as determined under Section 6.8. Distribution of the amounts in said accounts in
the funds designated in Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds as may be
established  by the  Administrator,  will be made in cash.  Distribution  of any
amount in said  accounts  in Fund C  (Raytheon  Company  stock)  will be made in
either  cash or, if elected  by the  Participant  or, in the case of death,  the
Participant's  Beneficiary,  stock. Partial deferrals will not be permitted.  If
there is no Beneficiary  surviving a deceased Participant at the time payment of
a Participant's  Account is to be made, such payment shall be made in a lump sum
to  the  person  or  persons  in  the  first   following   class  of  successive
Beneficiaries  surviving,  any  testamentary  devise or bequest to the  contrary


                                       17

notwithstanding:  the  Participant's  (a)  spouse,  (b)  children  and  issue of
deceased  children by right of  representation,  (c)  parents,  (d) brothers and
sisters and issue of deceased  brothers and sisters by right of  representation,
or (e) executors or  administrators.  If no Beneficiary  can be located during a
period of seven (7) years from the date of death, the amount of the distribution
shall  revert to the Trust and be  treated  in the same  manner as a  forfeiture
under Section 3.8.

         Except as  provided  in Section  401(a)(9)  of the Code as set forth in
this Section,  benefits in the Plan will be distributed to each  Participant not
later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which the
latest of the following events occurs:

                  (1)  attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement Age;

                  (2)  the  tenth  (10th)  anniversary  of  the  date  on  which
         Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or

                  (3)      Participant's Severance from Service.

         If the  amount of the  benefit  payable to a  Participant  has not been
ascertained by the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the  latest of the three  events  described  in clauses  (1),  (2) and (3) above
occurred,  or Participant  cannot be located after reasonable  efforts to do so,
then payment retroactive to said sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan
Year in which the latest of the three events  occurred may be made no later than
sixty (60) days after the later of the earliest date on which the amount of such
payment  can be  ascertained  under the Plan or the  earliest  date on which the
Participant is located.

         To the extent required by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code,  distributions
of  Participants'  Accounts will be made with respect to Participants who attain
age 70 1/2.

         In the event  amounts are  transferred  to this Plan from  another plan
qualified  under  Section  401(a) of the Code (other than  amounts  described in
Section  3.10(b)),  any  distribution  or  withdrawal  rights  available  to the
Participant under such other plan which are protected under Section 411(d)(6) of
the Code shall be available to the Participant under this Plan.

         6.7 Direct  Rollovers -- Effective  January 1, 1993, a distributee  may
elect, at the time and in the manner  prescribed by the  Administrator,  to have
any portion of an eligible  rollover  distribution  paid directly to an eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.  For purposes
of this paragraph, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                                       18

         (a) Eligible rollover  distribution:  An eligible rollover distribution
is any  distribution  of all or any  portion of the balance to the credit of the
distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any
distribution  that is one of a series of substantially  equal periodic  payments
(not less  frequently  than annually) made for the life (or life  expectancy) of
the  distributee  or  the  joint  lives  (or  joint  life  expectancies)  of the
distributee and the distributee's  beneficiary,  or for a specified period of 10
years or more;  any  distribution  to the extent such  distribution  is required
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is
not includible in gross income.

         (b)  Eligible  retirement  plan:  An  eligible  retirement  plan  is an
individual  retirement  account  described  in  Section  408(a) of the Code,  an
individual  retirement  annuity  described  in  Section  408(b) of the Code,  an
annuity  plan  described  in  Section  403(a) of the Code or a  qualified  trust
described in Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee's  eligible
rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution
to the surviving spouse, the term is limited to an individual retirement account
or individual retirement annuity.

         (c)  Distributee:  A  distributee  includes  a  Participant  or  former
Participant.  In addition,  the Participant's or former Participant's  surviving
spouse and the Participant's  spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee
under a qualified  domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the
Code,  are  distributees  with  regard to the  interest  of the spouse or former
spouse.

         (d) Direct Rollover:  A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

         6.8  Determination  of  Amount  of  Withdrawal  or  Distribution  -- In
determining  the  amount  of  any  withdrawal  or  distribution  hereunder,  the
Participant's  Account  shall  be  valued  as of the  close of  business  on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received;  provided,  however, that in
any case where the  telephone  notice is received  after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time
(daylight  or  standard,  whichever  is in effect on the date of the call),  the
Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Business Day.

         6.9 Sale or Divestiture of Business --  Notwithstanding  the provisions
of Section  14.50(g),  a Participant whose employment is terminated by reason of
the sale or  divestiture  of assets or stock of a business may withdraw  part or
all of his or her Account if otherwise permitted by law.

                               ARTICLE VII - LOANS

         7.1  Availability of Loans - Effective as of the date shown on Appendix
A which is applicable to the bargaining  unit in which  Participant is employed,
Participants  may  borrow  against  all  or a  portion  of  the  balance  in the
Participant's  Employee Account and Rollover Contribution Account subject to the
restrictions  set  forth  in this  Article.  Participants  who have  incurred  a
Severance from Service will not be eligible for a Plan loan. The Vice President,
Human Resources, is authorized to administer this loan program and may establish
uniform and equitable rules to resolve issues not  specifically  covered in this
Article.

                                       19

         7.2  Minimum Amount of Loan - No loan of less than $500 will be 
permitted.
                  
         7.3  Maximum Amount of Loan - No loan in excess of fifty  percent (50%)
of  the  aggregate  value  of a  Participant's  Employee  Account  and  Rollover
Contribution  Account and the Nonforfeitable  portion of Participant's  Matching
Contribution Account balances will be permitted. In addition, the limits imposed
by the Internal Revenue Code and any other requirements of applicable statute or
regulation  will be applied.  Under the  current  requirements  of the  Internal
Revenue Code, if the aggregate  value of a  Participant's  Employee  Account and
Rollover  Contribution  Account  and  Nonforfeitable  portion  of  the  Matching
Contribution  Account  exceeds  $20,000,  the loan  cannot  exceed the lesser of
one-half  (1/2) the  Nonforfeitable  aggregate  value or $50,000  reduced by the
excess of (a) the highest  outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the
one-year  period  ending on the day  before the date on which such loan was made
over (b) the  outstanding  balance  of loans  from the Plan on the date on which
such loan was made.

         7.4 Effective Date of Loans -- Loans will be effective as specified in
the Administrator's rules then in effect.

         7.5  Repayment  Schedule  - The  Participant  may  select  a  repayment
schedule of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years.  If the loan is used to acquire any  dwelling
which,  within a reasonable time is to be used  (determined at the time the loan
is made) as the principal residence of the Participant, the repayment period may
be extended up to 15 years at the election of the  Participant.  All  repayments
will be made through  payroll  deductions in accordance  with the loan agreement
executed at the time the loan is made,  except that, in the event of the sale of
all or a portion of the  business of the  Employer or one of the  Companies,  or
other unusual  circumstances,  the Administrator,  through uniform and equitable
rules,  may establish  other means of repayment.  The loan agreement will permit
repayment  of the  entire  outstanding  balance  in one lump  sum.  The  minimum
repayment amount per pay period is $10 for Participants  paid weekly and $50 for
Participants   paid   monthly.   The  repayment   schedule   shall  provide  for
substantially level amortization of the loan.

         7.6  Limit  on  Number  of  Loans  -- No more  than  two  loans  may be
outstanding  at any time.  

         7.7 Interest Rate -- The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this 
Article will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on
the first business day in June and December of each year. The rate published on
the first business day in June will apply to loans which are effective at any
time during the period July 1 through December 31 thereafter; the rate published
on the first business day of December will apply to loans which are effective at
any time during the period January 1 through June 30 thereafter.

                                       20

         7.8 Effect Upon Participants Employee Account -- Upon the granting of a
loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in the Participant's
Account to the respective  investment  funds will be reduced on a pro rata basis
and replaced by the loan  balance  which will be  designated  as an asset in the
Account. Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the Participant's Accounts
in the following  sequence,  with no reduction of the succeeding  Accounts until
prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan: Matching  Contribution  Account;
Employee  Account;  and Rollover  Contribution  Account.  Upon  repayment of the
principal  and  interest,  the loan  balance  will be reduced,  the  Participant
Accounts will be increased in the reverse order in which they were  exhausted by
the loan, and the loan payments will be allocated to the  respective  investment
funds in accordance with the investment election then in effect.

         7.9 Effect of Severance  From Service and  Non-Payment  -- In the event
that  a  loan  remains   outstanding  upon  the  Severance  from  Service  of  a
Participant, the Participant will be given the option on continuing to repay the
outstanding  loan. In any case where  payments on the  outstanding  loan are not
made within ninety (90) days of the  Participant's  Severance from Service Date,
the amount of any  unpaid  principal  will be  deducted  from the  Participant's
Account and reported as a distribution.  If, as a result of Layoff or Authorized
Leave of Absence, a Participant,  although still in a Period of Service,  is not
being compensated  through the Employer's payroll system,  loan payments will be
suspended until the earliest of the first pay date after Participant  returns to
active  employment,  the  Participant's  Severance  from  Service  Date,  or the
expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the  suspension.  In the event
the  Participant  does not return to active  employment  with the Employer,  the
Participant  will be given the  option of  continuing  to repay the  outstanding
loan. If the  Participant  fails to resume payments on the loan, the outstanding
loan will be reported as a distribution. In no event, however, shall the loan be
deducted  from the  Participant's  Account  earlier  than the date on which  the
Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service or (ii) attains age 59-1/2.

              ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATIONS OF SECTION 415 OF THE CODE

         8.1 Maximum  Permissible  Amount of a Participant's  Annual Addition --
The total for any  Limitation  Year of the annual  additions to a  Participant's
Account  under this Plan when added to the annual  additions to a  Participant's
account under any qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer
shall  not  exceed  the  lesser  of  (i)  twenty-five  percent  (25%)  of  total
compensation from the Employer,  and (ii) $30,000 or, if greater,  one-fourth of
the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in Section 415(b)(1) of the Code
as in effect for the Limitation Year.

         For purposes of this Section  8.1,  the term  "annual  addition"  shall
mean, with respect to any Limitation  Year,  Matching  Contributions,  Qualified
Nonelective Contributions, forfeitures and Elective Deferrals to this Plan, plus
the  sum  of  the  following  amounts  allocable  for  such  Plan  Year  to  the
Participant's  accounts in all other qualified plans  maintained by the Employer
in  which  he  participates:   (1)  employer  contributions  (including  pre-tax
contributions), (2) forfeitures which have been reallocated to the Participant's
account, (3) Participant after-tax  contributions;  and (4) amounts described in
Sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2) of the Code.

                                       21

         For purposes of this Section  8.1, the term  "compensation"  shall mean
all amounts paid to an Employee for personal  services  actually rendered to the
Companies  and  Affiliates,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  wages,  salary,
commissions,  bonuses,  overtime  and other  premium  pay as  specified  in Reg.
ss.1.415-2(d)(2),  but excluding deferred compensation, stock options, and other
distributions   which  receive  special  tax  treatment  as  specified  in  Reg.
ss.1.415-2(d)(3).

         8.2 Reduction of Annual Additions -- In the event it is determined that
the annual  additions to a  Participant's  Account  under this Plan or any other
qualified  defined   contribution  plan  maintained  by  the  Employer  for  any
limitation  year  would be in excess of the  limitations  of Section  8.1,  such
annual  additions shall be reduced to the extent  necessary to bring them within
such limitations. If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's Eligible Compensation, a reasonable error in
determining  the amount of Elective  Deferrals  that may be made with respect to
any  Participant,  or under  other  limited  facts and  circumstances  which the
Internal  Revenue  Service  finds  justify  the  availability  of  the  remedies
contained herein, the  Administrator,  in coordination with the administrator of
any other defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, shall reduce the
annual  additions  which  have  been  made  to a  Participant's  Account  to the
acceptable  limit  by the  following  procedures,  on a pro rata  basis,  in the
following order:

         (a) by returning to the Participant any voluntary or mandatory Employee
contributions  made to the Raytheon Support Services Company Money  Accumulation
Plan or any other defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer;

         (b) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded,  Elective Deferrals
to this Plan, or other defined  contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k)
of the Code  maintained by the Employer during such  Limitation  Year,  shall be
distributed to the Participant; and

         (c) to the extent such  limitation  is still  exceeded,  any  Qualified
Non-Elective Contribution to Participant's account in this Plan or other defined
contribution  plan qualified  under Section 401(k) of the Code maintained by the
Employer during such Limitation  Year,  shall be reduced to the extent necessary
to reduce annual additions to the acceptable limit;

         (d) to the  extent  the  limitation  is still  exceeded,  any  Matching
Employer  Contributions  to  this  Plan,  or  other  defined  contribution  plan
qualified  under Section  401(k) of the Code  maintained by the Employer  during
such  Limitation  Year,  shall be reduced to the extent  necessary  to  decrease
Participant's annual additions to the acceptable limit;

         (e) to the extent  the  limitation  is still  exceeded,  excess  annual
additions in the  Participant's  Account in the Raytheon  Stock  Ownership  Plan
(RAYSOP) shall be used to reduce  allocations  for the next Limitation Year (and
succeeding   Limitation  Years,  as  necessary)  for  that  Participant  if  the
Participant  is covered by the plan at the end of such  Limitation  Year. In the
event the  Participant  is not covered by such plan at the end of the Limitation
Year,  any excess  annual  additions  which  remain  must,  as  provided in Reg.
ss.1.415-6(b)(6)(ii),  be  held  unallocated  in  a  suspense  account  for  the
Limitation  Year  and  reallocated  in the  next  Limitation  Year to all of the
remaining  Participants  in proportion  to their RAYSOP  allocation in such Plan
Year.

                                       22

         8.3  Coordination   with  Limitation  on  Benefit  from  All  Plans  --
Notwithstanding  any other provisions in this Plan to the contrary,  in the case
of a Participant  who also  participates  in any qualified  defined benefit plan
which is maintained by the Employer (whether or not terminated),  the sum of the
defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan fraction may not
exceed 1.0 for any Limitation  Year.  The defined  benefit plan fraction for any
Limitation  Year is a fraction,  the numerator of which is the projected  annual
benefit of the  Participant  under the plan  (determined  as of the close of the
Limitation  Year); and the denominator of which is the lesser of (i) the product
of 1.25,  multiplied  by the dollar  limitation  applicable  to defined  benefit
plans,  in effect under  applicable  law for such  Limitation  Year; or (ii) the
product of 1.4  multiplied by one hundred  percent  (100%) of the  Participant's
average  compensation for the three  consecutive  calendar years during which he
had  the  highest  aggregate   compensation  from  the  Employer.   The  defined
contribution plan fraction for any Limitation Year is a fraction,  the numerator
of which is the sum of the annual  additions  (as defined in Section 8.1) to the
Participant's  Accounts  as of  the  close  of  the  Limitation  Year;  and  the
denominator  of  which  is the  sum  of the  lesser  of  the  following  amounts
determined for the current  Limitation Year and each prior  Limitation Year: (i)
the product of 1.25  multiplied by the dollar  limitation  applicable to defined
contribution  plans, in effect under  applicable law for the Limitation Year; or
(ii)  the  product  of  1.4  multiplied  by  25%  of  such  Participant's  total
compensation for the Limitation Year. In the event that the limitation set forth
above is exceeded, adjustments shall be made in the defined benefit plan.

         8.4      This Article VIII shall be effective for Limitation Years 
beginning on or after January 1, 1987.

               ARTICLE IX - LIMITATIONS OF SECTION 416 OF THE CODE

         9.1  General  Rule  -- In the  event  that  the  Plan  covers  Eligible
Employees  who are not included in a unit of  Employees  covered by a collective
bargaining  agreement  and  becomes  top  heavy  with  respect  to a  Plan  Year
commencing  on or after  January 1, 1984,  the  provisions of this Article shall
apply and shall supersede any conflicting provisions in the Plan.

         9.2      Definitions --

         (a)  Key   Employee:   Any  Employee  or  former   Employee   (and  the
Beneficiaries of such Employee) who at any time during the determination  period
was an officer of the Employer,  an owner (or  considered an owner under Section
415(c)(1)(A) of the Code) of one of the ten largest interests in the Employer if
such  individual's  compensation  exceeds 150  percent of the dollar  limitation
under  Section  415(c)(1)(A)  of the  Code,  a five  percent  (5%)  owner of the
Employer,  or a one  percent  (1%)  owner  of the  Employer  who  has an  annual
compensation of more than $150,000.  The determination period of the Plan is the
Plan Year  containing  the  determination  date and the four (4) preceding  Plan
Years.  The  determination  of who is a Key Employee  will be made in accordance
with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

         (b)      Non-Key Employee:  Any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

                                       23

         (c)      Top-Heavy Ratio:

                  (i) If the  Employer  maintains  one or more  defined  benefit
         plans and the Employer has never  maintained  any defined  contribution
         plans  (including  any  simplified  employee  pension  plan)  which has
         covered or could cover a Participant in this Plan, the Top-Heavy  Ratio
         is a fraction,  the  numerator of which is the sum of the present value
         of accrued benefits of all Key Employees as of the  determination  date
         (including any part of any accrued benefit distributed in the five-year
         period ending on the determination  date), and the denominator of which
         is the sum of all accrued  benefits  (including any part of any accrued
         benefit distributed in the five-year period ending on the determination
         date) of all Participants as of the determination date.

                  (ii)  If  the   Employer   maintains   one  or  more   defined
         contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan) and
         the Employer  maintains or has maintained  one or more defined  benefit
         plans which have covered or could cover a Participant in this Plan, the
         Top-Heavy  Ratio is a fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the sum of
         account  balances  under  the  defined  contribution  plans for all Key
         Employees and the present value of accrued  benefits  under the defined
         benefit plans for all Key  Employees,  and the  denominator of which is
         the sum of the account  balances under the defined  contribution  plans
         for all  Participants  and the present value of accrued  benefits under
         the defined benefit plans for all Participants.  Both the numerator and
         denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any distribution of
         an account balance or an accrued  benefit made in the five-year  period
         ending on the determination date and any contribution due but unpaid as
         of the determination date.

                  (iii) For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of account
         balances and the present  value of accrued  benefits will be determined
         as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the
         12-month period ending on the determination  date. The account balances
         and accrued benefits of a Participant who is not a Key Employee but who
         was a Key Employee in a prior year will be disregarded. The calculation
         of  the  Top-Heavy  Ratio,  and  the  extent  to  which  distributions,
         rollovers,  and  transfers  are  taken  into  account  will  be made in
         accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
         Deductible  Employee  contributions  will not be taken into account for
         purposes of computing the Top Heavy Ratio. When aggregating  plans, the
         value of account  balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with
         reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar
         year. 

         The accrued  benefit of a Participant  other than a Key Employee
         shall be  determined  under  (a) the  method,  if any,  that  uniformly
         applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained
         by the Employer,  or (b) if there is no such method, as if such benefit
         accrued not more rapidly than the slowest  accrual rate permitted under
         the fractional rule of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.
 
         (d) Permissive aggregation  group: The required aggregation group of
plans plus any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a
group with the required aggregation group would continue to satisfy the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

                                       24

         (e) Required aggregation group: (i) Each qualified plan of the Employer
in which at least one Key Employee  participates,  and (ii) any other  qualified
plan  of the  Employer  which  enables  a plan  described  in  (i) to  meet  the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

         (f) Determination  date: For any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan
Year,  the last day of the preceding  Plan Year.  For the first Plan Year of the
Plan, the last day of that year.

         (g) Valuation date: The last day of each Plan Year.

         (h) Present  Value:  Present  Value shall be based only on the interest
rate  used  by the  Administrator  to  determine  compliance  with  the  funding
requirements  under the Retirement Act and the mortality  rates  specified on an
appropriate current unisex table.

         9.3  Determination  as  to  Whether  the  Plan  is  Top  Heavy  --  The
Administrator  shall determine  whether the Plan is top heavy within the meaning
of Section  416. The Plan shall be top heavy for any Plan Year  beginning  after
December  31,  1983,  if,  as of the last day of the  preceding  Plan  Year (the
"determination date"), any of the following conditions exist:

         (a) If the  Top-Heavy  Ratio for this Plan exceeds  sixty percent (60%)
and  this  Plan is not part of any  required  aggregation  group  or  permissive
aggregation group of plans;

         (b) If this  Plan is a part of a  required  aggregation  group of plans
(but which is not part of a  permissive  aggregation  group)  and the  Top-Heavy
Ratio for the group of plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or

         (c) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group of plans and
part  of a  permissive  aggregation  group  and  the  Top-Heavy  Ratio  for  the
permissive aggregation group exceeds sixty percent (60%).

         In determining  whether the Plan is top heavy for Plan Years commencing
after  December  31,  1984,  the Account  balance of a  Participant  who has not
performed  an  Hour  of  Service  for  the  Employer  at  any  time  during  the
five-consecutive-year  period ending on the determination date shall be excluded
from the calculation of the Top Heavy Ratio.

         9.4 Minimum  Contribution  -- For each Plan Year with  respect to which
the Plan is top  heavy,  the  minimum  amount  allocated  under the Plan for the
benefit  of each  Participant  who is a Non-Key  Employee  and who is  otherwise
eligible for such an allocation shall be the lesser of:

         (a)  three  percent  (3%)  of the  Non-Key  Participant's  compensation
(within the meaning of Section 415 of the Code) for the Plan Year, or

                                       25

         (b) the Non-Key  Participant's  compensation (as defined in Section 415
of the  Code)  times  a  percentage  equal  to the  largest  percentage  of such
compensation  (not exceeding  $200,000,  $150,000 for Plan Years beginning on or
after  January 1, 1994)  allocated  to any Key  Employee for the Plan Year under
this  Plan  and all  other  defined  contribution  plans  in the  same  required
aggregation  group.  This clause (b) shall not apply to any plan  required to be
included in an  aggregation  group if such plan  enables a defined  benefit plan
required  to be  included  in such  group to meet the  requirements  of  Section
401(a)(4)  or  Section  410 of the  Code.  This  paragraph  shall not apply to a
Participant  covered under a qualified  defined  benefit plan  maintained by the
Employer  if  the  Participant's   vested  benefit   thereunder   satisfies  the
requirements of Section 416(c) of the Code.  Notwithstanding  any other language
herein,  a  Non-Key  Eligible  Employee  may  not  fail  to  receive  a  defined
contribution  minimum  allocation  because either (1) said Eligible Employee was
excluded  from   participation  (or  accrues  no  benefit)  merely  because  the
Employee's  compensation is less than the stated amount,  or (2) the Employee is
excluded from  participation (or accrues no benefit) merely because of a failure
to make Elective Deferrals.

         9.5      Accelerated Vesting --

         (a) For each Plan Year  during  which the Plan is top heavy,  a vesting
schedule which complies with the  requirements  of Section  416(b)(1)(a)  of the
Code will be placed in effect.  Each Participant in a Period of Service during a
Plan Year in which the Plan is  top-heavy  will be entitled to a  Nonforfeitable
right to one hundred percent (100%) of the pension benefit accrued from Employer
contributions  provided said  Participant has completed a Period of Service with
the Employer of at least three (3) years.

         (b) In the event that an accelerated vesting schedule must be placed in
effect in accordance with  subparagraph  (a) of this Section 9.5 and the Plan is
later  determined not to be top heavy, no vesting  schedule change shall be made
which shall have the effect of  providing a benefit to a  Participant  less than
the accrued  cumulative  benefit to which the Participant was otherwise entitled
as of the date of said vesting  schedule  change  pursuant to said  subparagraph
(a).
                           ARTICLE X - THE TRUST FUND

         10.1 Trust Agreement -- During the period in which this Plan remains in
existence,  the Employer or any  successor  thereto  shall  maintain in effect a
Trust  Agreement  with a corporate  trustee as  Trustee,  to hold,  invest,  and
distribute the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of such Trust Agreement.

         10.2  Investment  of Accounts -- The Trustee  shall invest and reinvest
the  Participant's  accounts in investment  options as defined in Section 4.1 as
directed by the  Administrator  or its  delegate in writing.  The  Administrator
shall issue such directions in accordance with the investment  options  selected
by the Participants which shall remain in force until altered in accordance with
Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

                                       26

         10.3 Expenses -- Expenses for the Plan and Trust shall be paid from 
the Trust.

shall be the responsibility of Raytheon Company (or any successor thereto) which
shall be the  Administrator  and Named  Fiduciary for purposes of the Retirement
Act. The Company shall have the authority,  in its sole discretion,  to construe
the terms of the Plan and to make  determinations as to eligibility for benefits
and as to  other  issues  within  the  "Responsibilities  of the  Administrator"

including the following:

         (a)  Determination of all questions which may arise under the Plan with
respect  to  eligibility  for  participation  and  administration  of  accounts,
including  without  limitation  questions with respect to  membership,  vesting,
loans, withdrawals,  accounting,  status of accounts, stock ownership and voting

         (h) Appointment of such additional  Fiduciaries as deemed necessary for
the effective  administration  of the Plan,  such  appointments to be by written
instrument.

         11.3 Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries -- Each Fiduciary shall be
responsible  only for the duties  allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary,  and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility
with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary unless:

                                       27

         (a) The Fiduciary  knowingly  participates in or knowingly  attempts to
conceal the act or omission of such other  Fiduciary  and knows that such act or
omission  constitutes  a  breach  of  fiduciary   responsibility  by  the  other
Fiduciary;

         (b) The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary responsibility
by  the  other  Fiduciary  and  has  not  made  reasonable   efforts  under  the
circumstances to remedy the breach; or

         (c)   The   Fiduciary's   own   breach   of  his   specific   fiduciary
responsibilities  has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach. No Fiduciary
shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his assumption of
Fiduciary status or after his termination from such status.

         11.4  Employment by Fiduciaries -- Any Fiduciary  hereunder may employ,
with the written  approval of the  Administrator,  one or more persons to render
service  with  regard  to any  responsibility  which has been  assigned  to such
Fiduciary  under the  terms of the Plan  including  legal,  tax,  or  investment
counsel  and may  delegate  to one or more  persons  any  administrative  duties
(clerical or otherwise) hereunder.

         11.5 Recordkeeping -- The Administrator  shall keep or cause to be kept
any  necessary  data  required  for  determining  the  account  status  of  each
Participant. In compiling such information,  the Administrator may rely upon its
employment  records,  including  representations  made by the Participant in the
employment  application and subsequent documents submitted by the Participant to
the Employer.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such  information when
furnished by the Administrator or its delegate.  Each Employee shall be required
to furnish the Administrator  upon request and in such form as prescribed by the
Administrator,  such personal  information,  affidavits  and  authorizations  to
obtain  information as the  Administrator  may deem  appropriate  for the proper
administration of the Plan, including but not limited to proof of the Employee's
date of birth and the date of birth of any person designated by a Participant as
a Beneficiary.

         11.6  Claims  Review  Procedure  -- The  Administrator  shall  make all
determinations  as to the right of any person to  Accounts  under the Plan.  Any
such determination by the Administrator  shall be made pursuant to the following
procedure:

         Step 1. Claims with respect to an Account should be filed by a claimant
as soon as  practicable  after  claimant knows or should know that a dispute has
arisen with  respect to an Account,  but at least  thirty (30) days prior to the
claimant's  actual  retirement  date or, if  applicable,  within sixty (60) days
after the death,  Disability or Severance from Service of the Participant  whose
account is at issue, by mailing a copy of the claim to the Benefits and Services
Department, Raytheon Company, 141 Spring Street, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

                                       28

         Step 2. In the event that a claim with  respect to an Account is wholly
or partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator shall, within ninety
(90) days  following  receipt of the claim,  so advise the  claimant  in writing
setting forth: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; specific reference
to pertinent Plan  provisions on which the denial is based; a description of any
additional  material or  information  necessary  for the claimant to perfect the
claim;  an explanation as to why such material or information is necessary;  and
an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

         Step 3.  Within  sixty (60) days  following  receipt of the denial of a
claim  with  respect  to an  Account,  a  claimant  desiring  to have the denial
appealed  shall file a request  for review with the  Administrator  by mailing a
copy thereof to the address shown in Step 1.

         Step 4.  Within  thirty  (30) days  following  receipt of a request for
review,  the Administrator  shall provide the claimant a further  opportunity to
present  his  or  her  position.   At  the  Administrator's   discretion,   such
presentation  may be  through  an oral or  written  presentation.  Prior to such
presentation,  the  claimant  shall  be  permitted  the  opportunity  to  review
pertinent  documents  and to submit  issues and  comments in  writing.  Within a
reasonable time following presentation of the claimant's position, which usually
should not exceed thirty (30) days, the Administrator  shall inform the claimant
in writing of the decision on review setting forth the reasons for such decision
and citing pertinent provisions in the Plan.

         The  Administrator  is the  fiduciary  to whom  the  Plan  grants  full
discretion,  with the advice of counsel,  to  interpret  the Plan;  to determine
whether a claimant  is eligible  for  benefits;  to decide the amount,  form and
timing of  benefits;  and to resolve  any other  matter  under the Plan which is
raised by a claimant or identified by the  Administrator.  All questions arising
from or in connection  with the  provisions of the Plan and its  administration,
not  herein  provided  to be  determined  by the  Board of  Directors,  shall be
determined  by the  Administrator,  and  any  determination  so  made  shall  be
conclusive and binding upon all persons affected thereby.

         11.7  Indemnification of Directors and Employees -- The Companies shall
indemnify by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a director,  officer or
employee  of the  Employer,  his heirs and legal  representatives,  against  all
liability  and  reasonable  expense,  including  counsel  fees,  amounts paid in
settlement  and amounts of judgments,  fines or  penalties,  incurred or imposed
upon him in  connection  with any claim,  action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of acts or omissions
in his capacity as a Fiduciary hereunder,  provided that such act or omission is
not the result of gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct.  The  Companies may
indemnify other Fiduciaries,  their heirs and legal  representatives,  under the
circumstances,  and  subject  to the  limitations  set  forth  in the  preceding
sentence,  if such indemnification is determined by the Board of Directors to be
in the best interests of the Companies.

         11.8  Immunity  from  Liability  -- Except to the extent  that  Section
410(a) of the  Retirement  Act prohibits the granting of immunity to Fiduciaries
from liability for any responsibility,  obligation,  or duty imposed under Title
I, Subtitle B, Part 4 of said Act, an officer,  employee, member of the Board of
Directors  of the Employer or other person  assigned  responsibility  under this
Plan shall be immune from any  liability for any action or failure to act except
such action or failure to act which  results  from said  officer's,  Employee's,
Participant's or other person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                       29

               ARTICLE XII - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         12.1 Right to Amend or Terminate Plan -- Each of the Companies reserves
the right at any time or times, by action of its Board of Directors,  to modify,
amend or terminate  the Plan in whole or in part as to its  Employees,  in which
event a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors,  authorizing
such  modification,  amendment or termination  shall be delivered to the Trustee
and to the other Companies  whose Employees are covered by this Plan,  provided,
however, no amendment to the Plan shall be made which shall:

         (a) deprive any  Participant of amounts  allocated to his Account prior
to the date of the amendment; 

         (b) except as provided in Section 3.11, make it possible for any part
of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be used for or diverted to purposes
other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their beneficiaries
prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to such Participant or
their Beneficiaries;

         (c)  modify the  vesting  schedule  and  deprive a  Participant  of his
Nonforfeitable  rights to amounts  allocated to his account prior to the date of
the amendment.  Further,  if the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, or the
Plan is amended to directly or indirectly affect a Nonforfeitable  percentage of
a Participant's  Account,  each Participant with a Period of Service of at least
three years may elect,  within a  reasonable  period  after the  adoption of the
amendment to have his nonforfeitable  percentage computed under the Plan without
regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be made shall
commence with the date the amendment is adopted or the change made and shall end
on the latest of:

                  (i) 60 days after the amendment is adopted; 
                 (ii) 60 days after the amendment becomes effective, or
                (iii) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of
                      the amendment;

         (d) increase the duties of liabilities of the Trustee without its
consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provisions
of  this  Plan,  any   modification  or  amendment  of  the  Plan  may  be  made
retroactively  if  necessary  or  appropriate  to conform  the Plan with,  or to
satisfy the  conditions  of, the  Retirement  Act,  the Code,  or any other law,
governmental regulation or ruling.

         Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan shall be subject
to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

         12.2  Maintenance of Plan -- The Employer has established the Plan with
the  bona  fide  intention  and  expectation  that it  will be able to make  its
contributions  indefinitely,  but the Employer is not and shall not be under any
obligation or liability  whatsoever to continue its contributions or to maintain
the Plan for any given length of time.

                                       30

         12.3 Termination of Plan and Trust -- The Plan and Trust hereby created
shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a) Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination  executed by the
Employer specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall terminate;

         (b)  Adjudication of the Employer as bankrupt or general  assignment by
the Employer to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution of the Employer;

         In the event of the complete  termination  of this Plan or the complete
discontinuance  of  Matching  Contributions  under  it (but a  rescission  under
Section  13.2 for  failure to qualify  initially  is not such a  termination  or
complete  discontinuance),  the rights of each  Participant  to the amounts then
credited  to his or her  Account  shall be  Nonforfeitable.  In the event of the
partial  termination  of this Plan,  the rights of each Employee (as to whom the
Plan is  considered  terminated)  to the  amounts  then  credited  to his or her
Account, shall be Nonforfeitable.  Whether or not there is a complete or partial
termination of this Plan shall be determined  under the regulations  promulgated
pursuant  to  the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  To the  extent  this  paragraph  is
inconsistent  with any  provisions  contained  elsewhere  in this Plan or in the
Trust which forms a part of this Plan,  this paragraph  shall govern.  Upon such
termination  of  the  Plan  and  Trust,   after  payment  of  all  expenses  and
proportional  adjustment  of accounts to reflect such  expenses,  fund losses or
profits,  and  reallocations  to the date of  termination,  each  Participant or
former Participant  shall,  subject to the requirements of Section 401(k)(10) of
the Code and Reg. ss. 1.401(k)-1(d)(3),  be entitled to receive any amounts then
credited to his or her Account in the Trust Fund.  The Trustee may make payments
in cash or, to the extent permitted by Section 6.6, in stock.

                      ARTICLE XIII - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

         13.1 Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer -- In the event of any
merger or  consolidation  with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any other
plan or to this  Plan,  each  Participant  of the Plan  shall be  entitled  to a
benefit immediately after the merger,  consolidation or transfer, which is equal
to or greater  than the  benefit he or she would have been  entitled  to receive
immediately  before the merger,  consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had been
terminated).

         13.2  Necessity of Initial  Qualification  -- This Plan is  established
with the intent that it shall  qualify under  Sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the
Code as that section exists at the time the Plan is established. If the Internal
Revenue  Service  determines  that  the  Plan  initially  fails  to  meet  those
requirements,  then within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination
all of the vested assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of  Participants
and their beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the contributors to
the Plan in proportion to their contributions,  and the Plan shall be considered
to be rescinded and of no force or effect,  unless such inadequacy is removed by
a  retroactive   amendment   pursuant  to  the  Code.  Any  nonvested   Matching
Contributions  and  earnings  attributable  thereto  shall  be  returned  to the
Companies.

                                       31

         13.3  Limitation  of  Assignment  -- No account under the Plan shall be
subject in any manner to attachment,  anticipation,  alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment,  pledge,  encumbrance  or  charge,  or the  vesting of rights in any
person by  operation  of law or  otherwise  except as provided  under this Plan,
including  but not limited to the Trustee or  Receiver  in  Bankruptcy,  and any
attempt so to anticipate,  alienate, sell, transfer,  assign, encumber or charge
the same shall be void,  nor shall any such  benefit be in any way liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person
entitled  to such  benefit.  If any  Participant  is  adjudicated  bankrupt,  or
attempts to anticipate,  alienate,  sell, transfer,  assign, pledge, encumber or
charge any benefit under the Plan, then such benefit shall, in the discretion of
the Administrator,  cease and terminate and in that event the Trustee shall hold
or apply the same or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such  Participant
in such manner as the Administrator may direct.

         Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Administrator  is  authorized to
comply  with a  domestic  relations  order  determined  by it to be a  qualified
domestic   relations  order  as  defined  in  Section  414(p)  of  the  Code.  A
distribution  may be made to an  alternate  payee  under  a  qualified  domestic
relations  order in the form of a lump sum payment at the time specified in such
order,  regardless of any  restrictions on the  commencement of the distribution
that then may apply to the Participant to whom the order relates.

         13.4  Limitation  of Rights of  Employees  -- This Plan is  strictly  a
voluntary  undertaking  on the part of the  Companies and shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract between any of the Companies and any Employee,  or to be a
consideration  for, or an inducement to, or a condition of the employment of any
Employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the
right to be retained in the service of any of the  Companies or shall  interfere
with the right of any of the  Companies to discharge or otherwise  terminate the
employment  of any  Employee  of the Company at any time.  No Employee  shall be
entitled  to any right or claim  hereunder  except to the  extent  such right is
specifically fixed under the terms of the Plan.

         13.5  Construction  -- The Plan  shall  be  construed,  regulated,  and
administered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,  except to the
extent  that the  Retirement  Act  otherwise  requires.  In the  event  that any
provision of this Plan is inconsistent with any provision in the Retirement Act,
the provision in the Retirement Act shall be deemed to be controlling.

         13.6 Transfer of Assets from Raytheon  Employee  Savings and Investment
Plan --  Effective  as of  December  5,  1994,  the  account  balances  of those
participants  under the Raytheon  Employee  Savings and Investment  Plan who are
employed by Amana  Refrigeration,  Inc. in the unit  represented  by Local 2385,
International  Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, at Amana's plant
in  Fayetteville,  Tennessee (the  "Transferred  Accounts") shall be transferred
into this Plan.  Assets equal to the  Transferred  Accounts shall be transferred
from the Raytheon  Employee  Savings and  Investment  Plan to the Trustee,  such
transfer to be  effective  as of December 5, 1994.  Amounts  held in the various
investment  accounts under the Raytheon Employee Savings and Investment Plan and
Trust  shall be  transferred  to the  investment  accounts  under  the  Trust in

                                       32

accordance with procedures established by the Administrator. Upon such transfer,
the assets  transferred  from the Raytheon  Employee Savings and Investment Plan
shall  become  assets of this Plan for all purposes  hereunder,  effective as of
December 5, 1994, and this Plan shall assume all the liabilities of the Raytheon
Employee Savings and Investment Plan for the Transferred Accounts,  and benefits
shall  thereafter be allocated and paid pursuant to the provisions of this Plan.
All  participants  in the Raytheon  Employee  Savings and Investment  Plan whose
accounts  are  transferred  to this  Plan  shall  remain  fully  vested in their
accounts which are  transferred  to this Plan.  All withdrawal and  distribution
options under the Raytheon  Employee  Savings and Investment  Plan shall be made
available under this Plan with respect to the Transferred Accounts to the extent
required by Section 411(d)(6) of the Code.

                 RAYTHEON EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

                     Provisions in Effect as of May 1, 1998

                       ARTICLE I -- ADOPTION AND PURPOSE

          The Plan was established effective July 1, 1987, as the Badger Savings
and Investment Plan for the purpose of providing employees with a tax-effective
means of allocating a portion of their salary to be invested in one or more
investment opportunities specified in the Badger Plan as determined by the
employee and set aside for short-term and long-term needs of the employee. The
Badger Plan was applicable only to eligible employees of The Badger Company,
Inc. from July 1, 1987, to May 12, 1993. On May 12, 1993, the Accounts of all
Participants were transferred to the Raytheon Employee Savings and Investment
Plan. Thereafter, the Plan was renamed the Raytheon Employee Savings and
Investment Plan and is applicable to employees of Raytheon Company and its
subsidiaries who are employed in units designated by the Subsidiary or the
Company as a Covered Unit and, in the case of Subsidiary units, approved by an
authorized officer of the Company for participation in the Plan.

          It is intended that the Plan will comply with all of the requirements
for a qualified defined contribution plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code and will be amended from time to time to maintain
compliance with these requirements. The terms used in the Plan have the meanings
specified in Article XIV unless the context indicates otherwise. The Plan is
intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
2550.404(c)-1. Participants in the Plan are responsible for selecting their own
investment opportunities from the options available under the Plan and the Plan
fiduciaries are relieved of any liability for any losses which are a direct and
necessary result of investment instructions given by a participant or
beneficiary.

          The Plan as restated herein shall be effective as of June 1, 1994 or
such other dates as may be specifically provided herein or as otherwise required
by law for the Plan or the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan,
which is merged into this Plan pursuant to Section 13.6, to satisfy the
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code. The rights of former Employees whose
Severance from Service Date occurred prior to the date of any amendment shall be
governed by the terms of the Plan in effect on their Severance from Service Date
except as otherwise provided herein.

Employee may join the Plan as of the first Entry Date coincident with or next
following completion of a Period of Service of three (3) consecutive months
commencing on the Employee's Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement
date, whichever is applicable.

          2.3 Procedure for Joining the Plan -- Each Eligible Employee who meets
the requirements of Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 may join the Plan by
communicating with Fidelity in accordance with instructions in an enrollment kit
which will be made available to each Eligible Employee. An enrollment in the
Plan shall not be deemed to have been completed until the Employee has
designated: a percentage by which Participants' Eligible Compensation shall be
reduced as an Elective Deferral in accordance with the requirements of Section
3.3(b) subject to the non-discrimination test described in Section 3.3(a);
election of investment funds as described in Article IV; one or more
Beneficiaries; and such other information as specified by Fidelity. Enrollment
will be effective as of the first administratively feasible Pay Period following
completion of enrollment. The Administrator in its discretion may from time to
time make exceptions and adjustments in the foregoing procedure on a uniform and
nondiscriminatory basis.

          2.4 Transfer to Position Not Covered by Plan -- If a Participant is
transferred to another position with the Employer in which the Participant is no
longer an Eligible Employee, the Participant will remain a Participant of the
Plan with respect to Elective Deferrals previously made but will no longer be
eligible to have Elective Deferrals made to the Plan on his or her behalf until
he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee. In the event the Participant is
subsequently transferred to a position in which he or she again becomes an
Eligible Employee, the Participant may renew Elective Deferrals by communicating
with Fidelity and providing all of the information requested by Fidelity. The
renewal of Elective Deferrals will be effective as of the first administratively
feasible Pay Period following receipt by Fidelity of the requested information.

        2.5     Break in Service Rules

          (a) Periods of Service -- In determining the length of a Period of
Service, the Administrator shall include all Periods of Service, except a Period
of Service prior to a Period of Severance of twelve (12) months or more, unless
subsequent to said Period of Severance the Participant completes a Period of
Service of at least twelve (12) months.

          (b) Periods of Severance -- In determining the length of a Period of
Service, the Administrator shall exclude all Periods of Severance, except that
in the event a Participant returns from a quit, discharge, or Retirement, within
twelve (12) months from the earlier of:

(i)       the date of the quit, discharge, or Retirement, or

(ii)      if the Participant was absent from employment for reasons such as
          layoff or Authorized Leave of Absence on the day of the quit,
          discharge, or Retirement, the first day of such absence, the period of
          absence will be included as a Period of Service.

                                       3

          (c) Other Periods -- In making the determinations described in
subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.5, the second, third, and fourth
consecutive years of a Layoff (from the first anniversary of the last day paid
to the fourth anniversary of the last day paid) and any period in excess of one
(1) year of an Authorized Leave of Absence shall be regarded as neither a Period
of Service nor a Period of Severance.

                          ARTICLE III -- CONTRIBUTIONS

          3.1 Elective Deferrals -- Elective Deferrals must be made in one
percent (1%) increments with a minimum Elective Deferral of one percent (1%) of
Eligible Compensation and a maximum Elective Deferral of seventeen percent
(17%); provided, however, that effective for any Plan Year beginning on or after
January 1, 1987, in no event may the amount of Elective Deferrals to the Plan,
when taken into account with all other elective deferrals (as defined in Code
Section 402(g)) made by a Participant under any other plan maintained by the
Employer, exceed $7,000 (adjusted for increases in the cost of living under Code
Section 402(g)) in any calendar year. If a Participant participates in another
plan or arrangement which is not maintained by the Employer and which permits
elective deferrals in any calendar year and his total Elective Deferrals under
the Plan and other plan(s) exceed $7,000 (as adjusted) in a calendar year, he
may request to receive a distribution of the amount of the excess deferral (a
deferral in excess of $7,000 (as adjusted)) that is attributable to Elective
Deferrals to this Plan together with earnings thereon, notwithstanding any
limitations on distributions contained in the Plan. Such distribution shall be
made by the April 15 following the Plan Year in which the Elective Deferrals
were made, provided that the Participant notifies the Administrator of the
amount of the excess deferral that is attributable to Elective Deferrals to the
Plan and requests such a distribution. The Participant's notice must be received
by the Administrator no later than the March 1 following the Plan Year of the
excess deferral. In the absence of such notice, the amount of such excess
deferral attributable to Elective Deferrals to this Plan shall be subject to all
limitations on withdrawals and distributions in the Plan. In addition to
distributing excess deferrals at the request of the Participant, the
Administrator shall distribute any deferrals made under this Plan or any other
plan of the Employer in excess of the statutory maximum deferral of $7,000 (as
adjusted). For this purpose as provided in 26 CFR 1.402(g)-1(e)(2), a
Participant is deemed to notify the Administrator of any excess deferrals that
arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and
any other plans of this Employer and to request that such excess deferrals be
distributed by the Plan Administrator. The distribution of excess deferrals will
include any earnings or be reduced by any loss allocable to the excess deferrals
pursuant to the Plan method of allocating earnings or losses and calculated to
the last day of the Plan Year in which the excess deferrals were made.

          The Administrator may establish prospectively lower limits for Higher
Paid Participants for the purpose of complying with Internal Revenue Code
requirements in an orderly manner.

        3.2     Limitations on Elective Deferrals --

                                       4

          (a) In no event may Elective Deferrals made on behalf of all Higher
Paid Eligible Employees with respect to any Plan Year result in an Actual
Deferral Percentage for such group of Higher Paid Eligible Employees which
exceeds the greater of (i) or (ii) where:

(i)       is an amount equal to 125 percent of the Actual Deferral Percentage
          for all Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the
          eligibility requirements of Article II with respect to such Plan Year;
          and

(ii)      is an amount equal to the Actual Deferral Percentage for all
          Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility
          requirements of Article II with respect to such Plan Year and two
          percent (2%), provided that such amount does not exceed 200 percent of
          such Actual Deferral Percentage.

          (b) The Administrator shall be authorized to implement rules
authorizing or requiring reductions in Elective Deferrals that may be made by
Higher Paid Eligible Employees during the Plan Year (prior to any contributions
to the Trust) so that the limitation of Section 3.2(a) is satisfied.

          (c) The Company may in its discretion make Qualified Nonelective
Contributions to the Accounts of certain Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees to
the extent required to satisfy the limitations of Section 3.2(a).

          (d) If the limitation under Section 3.2(a) is exceeded in any Plan
Year, the Excess Amounts made on behalf of Higher Paid Eligible Employees with
respect to a Plan Year (and earnings allocable thereto) shall then be
distributed to such Employees as soon as practicable after the end of such Plan
Year, but no later than the last day of the immediately following Plan Year. The
Excess Amounts distributed shall include Elective Deferrals and the income
allocable thereto. The amount of income allocable to Excess Amounts shall be
determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the
Code and shall include income for the Plan Year for which the Excess Amounts
were made. Any such distributions shall be reduced by the amount of any
distributions made pursuant to Section 3.1 above.

          (e) The Administrator may utilize any combination of the methods
described in Sections 3.2(b), (c) and (d) to assure that the limitations of
Section 3.2(a) are satisfied.

          (f) For purposes of this Section 3.2, the following definitions and
special rules shall apply:

(i)       The term "Annual Earnings" means the Employee's wages which are
          required to be reported on IRS Form W-2 for the calendar which
          coincides with the Plan Year.

(ii)      The term "Actual Deferral Percentage" shall mean, with respect to any
          group of actively employed Eligible Employees who have satisfied the
          eligibility requirements of Article II for a Plan Year, the average of
          the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible Employee in
          the group, of:

                                       5

(A) The amount of Elective Deferrals paid to the Trust Fund for such Plan Year,
divided by

(B) The Eligible Employee's Annual Earnings, including any Elective Deferrals
made by the Companies to the Plan on behalf of the Eligible Employee and any
pre-tax elective contributions made by the Companies which are excludible from
the Eligible Employee's income under Section 125 of the Code.

Elective Deferrals shall be taken into account for a Plan Year only if such
amounts are allocated to the Eligible Employee's Account as of a date within
that Plan Year. For this purpose, an Elective Deferral is considered allocated
as of a date within a Plan Year if the allocation is not contingent on
participation or performance of services after such date and the Elective
Deferral is actually paid to the Trust Fund no later than 12 months after the
Plan Year to which the contribution relates.

(iii)     The term "Excess Amounts" shall mean with respect to each Higher Paid
          Eligible Employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of
          Article II for a Plan Year, the amount equal to total Elective
          Deferrals made on behalf of such Employee (determined prior to the
          application of the leveling procedure described below) minus the
          product of the Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage (determined after
          the leveling procedure described below) multiplied by the amount
          specified in Section 3.2(f)(ii)(B) above. In accordance with the
          regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the Code, Excess Amounts
          shall be determined by a leveling procedure under which the Actual
          Deferral Percentage of the Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the
          highest such percentage shall be reduced to the extent required to
          enable the limitation of Section 3.2(a) to be satisfied or, if it
          results in a lower reduction, to the extent required to cause such
          Higher Paid Eligible Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage to equal
          the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Higher Paid Eligible Employee
          with the next highest Actual Deferral Percentage. This leveling
          procedure shall be repeated until the limitation of Section 3.2(a) is
          satisfied.

(iv)      The term "Qualified Nonelective Contributions" means contributions
          that are made pursuant to Sections 3.2(c), meet the requirements of
          Section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations issued
          thereunder, and which are designated as a Qualified Nonelective
          Contribution for purposes of satisfying the limitations of Sections
          3.2(c). Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be nonforfeitable
          when made and are distributable only in accordance with the
          distribution and withdrawal provisions that are applicable to Elective
          Deferrals under the Plan; provided, however, that Qualified
          Nonelective Contributions may not be withdrawn on account of financial
          hardship. If any Qualified Nonelective Contributions are made, the
          Company shall keep such records as necessary to reflect the amount of
          such contributions made for purposes of satisfying the limitations of
          Sections 3.2(c).

                                       6

(v)       In the event the Companies maintain two or more plans that are treated
          as a single plan for purposes of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the
          Code (other than Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code), all elective
          deferrals made under the two plans shall be treated as made under a
          single plan, and if two or more of such plans are permissively
          aggregated for purposes of Section 401(k) of the Code, such plans
          shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of satisfying Sections
          401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code.

(vi)      In determining the Actual Deferral Percentage of a Higher Paid
          Eligible Employee, all cash or deferred arrangements in which such
          Higher Paid Eligible Employee is eligible to participate shall be
          treated as a single arrangement.

(vii)     The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall
          apply to any Higher Paid Eligible Employee who is a five percent owner
          or one of the ten most highly compensated Higher Paid Eligible
          Employees. The Actual Deferral Percentage for the family group, which
          is treated as one Higher Paid Eligible Employee, is the Actual
          Deferral Percentage determined by combining the contributions and
          compensation of all eligible Family Members. Except to the extent
          taken into account in this Paragraph (vii), the contributions and
          compensation of all Family Members are disregarded in determining the
          Actual Deferral Percentages for all Employees.

          (g) The limitations of this Section 3.2 shall apply to Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 1987.

          3.3 Reinstatement of Reduced Amounts -- Any reduction effected
pursuant to Section 3.2(b) will remain in effect for the remainder of the Plan
Year in which the reduction occurs. A Participant whose Elective Deferral has
been reduced may elect, subject to the approval of the Administrator, to
increase his or her Elective Deferral effective as of the Entry Date in January
of the next Plan Year. This election must be made in accordance with the
procedure described in Section 3.4. The reduction described in Section 3.2(b)
will not be automatically reinstated.

          3.4 Change in Elective Deferrals -- Except as provided in Sections 3.2
and 3.3, any Participant may change his or her Elective Deferral percentage by
notifying Fidelity, such changes to take effect as of the next administratively
feasible Pay Period.

          3.5 Voluntary Reduction of Elective Deferral to Zero -- Any
Participant may elect to reduce the level of the Participant's Elective Deferral
to zero as of the beginning of any pay period. The reduction will take effect as
soon as practicable following telephone notification by the Participant to
Fidelity. A Participant who has reduced his or her Elective Deferral to zero may
again make Elective Deferrals as of the next administratively feasible Pay
Period subsequent to telephone notification to Fidelity.

        3.6     Rollover Contributions and Transfers --

          (a) Participants may transfer into the Plan qualifying rollover
amounts (as defined in Section 402 of the Code) received from other qualified
plans subject to Section 401(k) or Section 401(m) of the Code; qualified defined
contribution pension or profit sharing plans, provided that no federal income
tax has been required to have been paid previously on such amounts; rollover
contributions from an individual retirement account described in Section
408(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code (referred to herein as a "conduit IRA"); or
rollover contributions from the Raytheon Stock Ownership Plan by former
Participants in that plan who have incurred a Severance from Service. Such
transfers will be referred to as "rollover contributions" and will be subject to
the following conditions:

                                       7

(i)       the transferred funds are received by the Trustee no later than sixty
          (60) days from receipt by the Employee of a distribution from another
          qualified Section 401(k) or Section 401 (m) plan or, in the event that
          the funds are transferred from a conduit IRA, no later than sixty (60)
          days from the date that the Participant receives such funds from the
          individual retirement account, subject, however, to (v) below where
          applicable;

(ii)      the amount of such rollover contributions shall not exceed the
          limitations set forth in Section 402 of the Code;

(iii)     rollover contributions shall be taken into account by the
          Administrator in determining the Participant's eligibility for a loan
          pursuant to Article VII;

(iv)      rollover contributions may be distributed at the request of the
          Participant, subject to the same administrative procedures as apply to
          other distributions;

(v)       rollover contributions may not be received by the Trustee earlier than
          the Entry Date upon which the Participant elects to join the Plan;

(vi)      rollover contributions transferred pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall
          be credited to the Participant's Rollover Contribution Account.
          Rollover contributions will be invested upon receipt by the Trustee;

(vii)     no rollover contribution will be accepted unless (A) the Employee on
          whose behalf the rollover contribution will be made is either a
          Participant or has notified the Administrator that he intends to
          become a Participant on the first date on which he is eligible
          therefor, or was a former participant in the Raytheon Stock Ownership
          Plan and the entire amount of the rollover contribution is comprised
          of the Participant's account in that plan, and (B) all required
          information, including selection of specific investment accounts, is
          provided to Fidelity. When the rollover contribution has been
          deposited, any further change in investment allocation of future
          deferrals or transfer of account balances between investment funds
          will be effected through the procedures set forth in Sections 4.2 and
          4.3.

(viii)    under no circumstances shall the Administrator accept as rollover
          contributions amounts which have previously been subject to federal
          income tax.

          (b) Effective January 1, 1993, Participants may direct that "eligible
rollover distributions," as defined in Section 402(c) of the Code, be
transferred directly to the Plan. Rules similar to those applicable to "rollover
contributions" shall apply to amounts transferred directly to the Plan.

                                       8

          (c) Participants who are also covered under the Raytheon Stock
Ownership Plan and who are entitled to diversify their accounts under such plan,
may direct that the portion of their account which is eligible for
diversification under such plan be transferred to the Plan. Rules similar to
those applicable to "rollover contributions" shall apply to amounts transferred
to this Plan except that such transferred amounts shall not be eligible for
loans or withdrawals.

          (d) Effective April 1, 1997, an Eligible Employee may transfer into
the Plan qualified rollover amounts (as defined in Section 401 of the Code)
received from other qualified plans subject to Section 401(K) or Section 401(m)
of the Code without regard to whether the Eligible Employee has completed a
Period of Service of three (3) consecutive months commencing on the Employment
Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement Date as applicable.

          (e) Account balances, including loan balances, held in other defined
contribution plans sponsored by members of the Raytheon controlled group of
corporations by Participants in this Plan shall be transferred to this Plan on
the following conditions:

(i)       the account balances, including loan balances, held by Participants in
          the following six plans: (1) Raytheon Aerospace Support Services, Inc.
          Union Salary Savings Plan; (2) Raytheon Aerospace Support Services,
          Inc. Non-Union Salary Savings Plan; (3) Raytheon Aerospace Support
          Services, Inc. Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi, Union Salary
          Savings Plan; (4) Raytheon Aerospace Support Services, Inc. Columbus
          Air Force Base, Mississippi, Non-Union Salary Savings Plan; (5)
          Raytheon Aerospace Support Services, Inc. - U.S. Customs Union Salary
          Savings Plan; (6) Raytheon Aerospace Support Services, Inc. - U.S.
          Customs Non-Union Salary Savings Plan will be transferred to this Plan
          on August 1, 1996, or as soon thereafter as is administratively
          feasible;

(ii)      the account balances held by Participants in the Raytheon Support
          Services Company Money Accumulation Plan, except those Participants
          who are employees of Raytheon Support Services Company assigned to the
          Patrick Air Force Base Logistics Contract, will be transferred to this
          Plan on January 1, 1997, or as soon thereafter as is administratively
          feasible. Separate sub-accounts shall be established for the
          transferred amounts and earnings thereon, all of which are after-tax
          monies. Distribution of such sub-accounts shall be made in the form of
          a lump sum except that Participants may elect to receive the amount
          transferred (but not earnings thereon subsequent to the transfer) in
          the form of an immediate annuity or in a combination of lump sum and
          immediate annuity as selected by the Participant. The insurer shall
          provide a description of the forms of immediate annuity available
          under the group annuity contract for purposes of informing
          Participants thereof. The forms of immediate annuity available under
          the group annuity contract shall always include a qualified joint and

                                       9

          survivor annuity within the meaning of the Retirement Act as amended
          from time to time. Any election of a form of annuity payment other
          than a qualified joint and survivor annuity must be consented to in
          writing by the Participant's spouse (which consent shall be notarized
          or witnessed by a representative of the Plan). No method of payment
          providing for a guaranteed number of monthly annuity payments may be
          selected if such payments would extend beyond the actual life
          expectancy of the Participant and his or her spouse, and further
          provided that the value of any payment to a beneficiary shall be less
          than fifty percent (50%) of the value of Participant's interest under
          this Plan determined as of the commencement date of Participant's
          annuity.

          3.7 Refund of Contributions to the Companies -- Notwithstanding the
provisions of Article XII, if, or to the extent that, the Companies' deductions
for contributions made to the Plan are disallowed, the Companies will have the
right to obtain the return of any such contributions for a period of one year
from the date of disallowance. For this purpose, all Elective Deferrals are made
subject to the conditions that they are deductible under the Code for the
taxable year of the Companies for which the contribution is made. Furthermore,
any contribution made by the Companies on the basis of a mistake in fact may be
returned to the Companies within one year from the date such contribution was
made.

          3.8 Non-Elective Contributions -- Specified Amounts -- Each of the
Companies may make contributions to the Plan on behalf of Employees in Covered
Units, provided that the name of the unit, the effective date of such
contributions and the specified amount is set forth on Appendix B hereto. Such
contributions and the contributions described in Section 3.9 shall be Qualified
Non-Elective Contributions as defined in Section 3.2(f)(iv) and shall be
included in determining the actual deferral percentage under Section 3.2. If the
contributions described in this Section 3.8 and in Section 3.9 are made on
behalf of an Employee who is not a Participant, an Account shall be established
for such Employee and the Employee shall have the right to elect investment
options under Section 4.1. If the Employee does not make a valid election in
which investment options are designated for 100% of the Participant's Account,
then 100% of Participant's Account shall be invested in Fund B, a fixed income
fund. The Employee may, in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3, change the
investment allocation for future deferrals and transfer account balances between
investment funds.

          3.9. Non-Elective Contributions -- Service Contract Act Reconciliation
Amounts -- Each of the Companies may make contributions to the Plan on behalf of
Employees in Covered Units consisting of the entire amount or any part of any
deficiency between health and welfare and/or pension contributions actually made
under a contract covered by the Service Contract Act and the amount of such
contribution or contributions required by a wage determination issued under the
contract. Such amount shall be calculated in accordance with the formula
specified in 29 CFR 4.175 as follows:

The total amount contributed for a month, calendar or contract quarter, or other
specified time is divided by the total hours worked under the contract by
service employees subject to the Act during the period in question to determine
an hourly contribution rate.

                                       10

The difference between the contribution rate required in the determination and
the actual contribution may be contributed to the Plan on behalf of each
Employee for purposes of fulfilling the Employer's fringe benefit obligations
under the Service Contract Act.

          3.10. Matching Contributions - Rust Constructors, Inc. -- Subject to
the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, Rust Constructors, Inc.
will match from its net annual profits or net profits the Elective Deferral of
each Participant who is employed in the non-union hourly paid unit at one of the
following locations: Amoco Chemical Company, Mt. Pleasant, SC; Dayco Products,
Springfield, MO; Hoechst Celanese Corporation, Salisbury, NC, at the rate of
100% of the Participant's Elective Deferral, provided that, (i) for any pay
period, the matching amount shall not exceed 4.5% percent of Participant's
Eligible Compensation for that pay period; (ii) as soon as administratively
feasible subsequent to the end of the Plan Year, the differential, if any, in
which the amount equal to 100% of the Participant's Elective Deferrals exceeds
the amount of Matching Contributions made for Participant for that year, to an
annual maximum of 4.5% of Participant's Eligible Compensation for the Plan Year,
will be paid into the Participant's Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Account;
and (iii) the Matching Contribution for Participants in the unit at Hoechst
Celanese Corporation will be in effect for the period from June 12, 1996 through

        3.11  Limitations on Matching Contributions.

          (a) In no event may the Matching Contributions made on behalf of all
Higher Paid Eligible Employees, or forfeitures allocated to the Accounts of such
Employees, who have satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article II with
respect to any Plan Year result in an Actual Contribution Percentage for such
group of Higher Paid Eligible Employees which exceeds the greater of (i) or (ii)
where:

(i)       is an amount equal to 125 percent of the Actual Contribution
          Percentage for all Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who have
          satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article II with respect to
          such Plan Year; and

(ii)      is an amount equal to the Actual Contribution Percentage for all
          Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees who have satisfied the eligibility
          requirements of Article II with respect to such Plan Year and two
          percent (2%), provided that such amount does not exceed 200 percent of
          such Actual Contribution Percentage.

          (b) The Administrator shall be authorized to implement rules
authorizing or requiring reductions in Matching Contributions that may be made
by Higher Paid Eligible Employees during the Plan Year (prior to any
contributions to the Trust Fund), so that the limitation of Section 3.11(a) is
satisfied.

          (c) The Company may in its discretion make Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions to the accounts of certain Non-Higher Paid Eligible Employees to
the extent required to satisfy the limitations of Section 3.11(a).

                                       11

          (d) If the limitation under Section 3.11(a) is exceeded in any Plan
Year, the Excess Amounts made on behalf of Higher Paid Eligible Employees with
respect to a Plan Year (and earnings allocable thereto) shall then be
distributed to such Higher Paid Eligible Employees as soon as practicable after
the end of such Plan Year (or, if forfeitable under the terms of the Plan,
forfeited), but no later than the last day of the immediately following Plan
Year. The Excess Amounts distributed shall include both the Matching
Contributions and the income allocable thereto. The amount of income allocable
to Excess Amounts shall be determined in accordance with the regulations issued
under Section 401(m) of the Code and shall include income or the Plan Year to
which the Excess Amounts relate.

          (e) Elective Deferrals and Matching Contributions shall be further
limited to the extent required to prevent prohibited multiple use of the
alternative limitations described in Sections 401(k)(3)(A)(ii)(II) and 401
(m)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code and the provisions of Reg. 1.401(m)-2(b) and any
further guidance issued thereunder. If such multiple use occurs, the Actual
Contribution Percentage for all Higher Paid Eligible Employees (determined after
applying the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.11) shall be reduced in
accordance with Reg. 1.401(m)-2(c) and any further guidance issued thereunder in
order to prevent such multiple use of the alternative limitation.

          (f) The Administrator may utilize any combination of the methods
described in Sections 3.11(b), (c) and (d) to assure that the limitations of
Sections 3.11(a) and (e) are satisfied.

          (g) For purposes of this Section 3.11, the following definitions and
special rules shall apply:

(i)       The term "Annual Earnings" shall have the meaning specified in
          Sections 3.2(f)(i).

(ii)      The term "Actual Contribution Percentage" shall mean, with respect to
          any group of actively employed Eligible Employees who have satisfied
          the eligibility requirements of Article II for a Plan Year, the
          average of the ratios, calculated separately for each such Eligible
          Employee in the group, of:

(A) The amount of Matching Contributions paid to the Trust Fund for such Plan
Year on behalf of the Eligible Employee plus the amount of forfeitures allocated
to the Eligible Employee's Account, divided by

(B) The Eligible Employee's Annual Earnings, including any Elective Deferrals
made by the Companies to the Plan on behalf of the Eligible Employee or any
pre-tax election contributions under a "cafeteria plan" (as defined in Section
125 of the Code and applicable regulations) maintained by the Companies for such
Plan Year.

          Matching Contributions and forfeitures shall be taken into account for
a Plan Year only if such amounts are allocated to the Eligible Employee's
Account as of a date within that Plan Year, such amounts are actually paid to
the Trust no later than 12 months after the Plan Year to which the contribution
relates and such amounts are contributed on account of Elective Deferrals for
such Plan Year.

                                       12

(iii)     The term "Excess Amounts" shall mean with respect to each Higher Paid
          Eligible Employee, the amount equal to the total Matching
          Contributions made on behalf of the Eligible Employee together with
          the forfeitures allocated to the Eligible Employee's Account
          (determined prior to the application of the leveling procedure
          described below) minus the product of the Eligible Employee's Actual
          Contribution Percentage (determined after the leveling procedure
          described below) multiplied by the amount specified in Section
          3.11(g)(ii)(B) above. In accordance with the regulations issued under
          Section 401(m) of the Code, Excess Amounts shall be determined by a
          leveling procedure under which the Actual Contribution Percentage of
          the Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the highest such percentage
          shall be reduced to the extent required to enable the limitation of
          Section 3.11(a) to be satisfied or, if it results in a lower
          reduction, to the extent required to cause such Higher Paid Eligible
          Employee's Actual Contribution Percentage to equal the Actual
          Contribution Percentage of the Higher Paid Eligible Employee with the
          next highest Actual Contribution Percentage. This leveling procedure
          shall be repeated until the limitation of Section 3.11(a) is
          satisfied.

(iv)      The term "Qualified Non-Elective Contributions" shall have the meaning
          specified in Section 3.2(f)(iv).

(v)       In the event the Companies maintain two or more plans that are treated
          as a single plan for purposes of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the
          Code (other than Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code), all Matching
          Contributions and forfeitures under the two plans shall be treated as
          made under a single plan, and if two or more of such plans are
          permissibly aggregated for purposes of Section 401(m) of the Code,
          such plans shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of
          satisfying Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code.

(vi)      In determining the Actual Contribution Percentage of a Higher Paid
          Eligible Employee, all plans in which such Higher Paid Eligible
          Employee is eligible to participate shall be treated as a single
          arrangement.

(vii)     The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall
          apply to any Higher Paid Eligible Employee who is a five percent owner
          or one of the ten most highly compensated Higher Paid Eligible
          Employees. The Actual Contribution Percentage for the family group,
          which is treated as one Higher Paid Eligible Employee, is the Actual
          Contribution Percentage determined by combining the contributions and
          compensation of all eligible Family Members. Except to the extent
          taken into account in this Paragraph (vii), the contributions and
          compensation of all Family Members are disregarded in determining the
          Actual Contribution Percentages for all Employees.

          (h) The limitations of this Section 3.11 shall apply to Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 1987.

                                       13

          (I) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the rate
of Matching Contributions, determined after application of the corrective
mechanisms described in Section 3.2, discriminates in favor of Higher Paid
Eligible Employees, any such amounts attributable to any Excess Amounts (as
described in Subsection 3.2(f)(iii)) of each affected Higher Paid Eligible
Employee shall be forfeited so that the rate of Matching Contribution is
nondiscriminatory. Any such forfeitures shall be made no later than the end of
the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Matching Contribution was
made and shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions.

                      ARTICLE IV - INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

          4.1 Election of Investment Options -- Upon enrollment in the Plan,
each Participant shall direct that the funds in the Participant's Account be
invested in increments of one percent (1%) in one or more of the following
investment options:

Fund A - an equity fund designated by the Administrator;

Fund B - a fixed income fund designated by the Administrator;

Fund C - Raytheon Company common stock fund;

Fund D - a stock index fund designated by the Administrator,

Fund E - a balanced fund designated by the Administrator;

Fund F - a growth fund, designated by the Administrator, investing primarily in
equities of companies of all types and sizes;

Fund G - a growth fund, designated by the Administrator, investing primarily in
equities of well-known and established companies.

          In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time designate
new funds and, where appropriate, preclude investment in existing funds and
provide for the transfer of Accounts invested in those funds to other funds
selected by the Participant or, if no such election is made, to Fund B or
similar low risk fixed income fund as determined by the Administrator in its
discretion.

          In the event that a Participant fails to designate the investment
option for 100% of the Participant's account or erroneously designates the
investment of more than 100%, the investment designation will be a nullity and
the Enrollment Agreement will be returned to the Eligible Employee. If the
Enrollment Agreement is corrected and returned, enrollment will not be effective
until the next Entry Date with respect to which the notice requirements set
forth in Section 2.3 are satisfied.

          4.2 Change in Investment Allocation of Future Deferrals -- Each
Participant may elect to change the investment allocation of future Elective
Deferrals and rollover contributions effective as of the first administratively
feasible Business Day subsequent to telephone notice to Fidelity. Any changes
must be made in increments of one percent (1%) of the Participant's Account or
in a specified whole dollar amount and must result in a total investment of one
hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's Account.

                                       14

          4.3 Transfer of Account Balances Between Investment Funds -- Each
Participant may elect to transfer all or a portion of the amount in the
Participant's Employee Account and Rollover Contribution Account between
investment funds effective as of the first administratively feasible Business
Day following telephone notice to Fidelity. Such transfers must be made in
either one percent (1%) increments of the entire Account or in a specified
amount in whole dollars and, as of the completion of the transfer, must result
in investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Account. Transfers shall be
effected by telephone notice to Fidelity. In determining the amount of the
transfer, the Participant's Account shall be valued as of the close of business
on the Valuation Date on which telephone notice is received; provided, however,
that in any case where the telephone notice is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time (daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on the date of the call), the
Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Valuation Date.

          4.4 Ownership Status of Funds -- The Trustee shall be the owner of
record of the assets in the funds specified as Funds A, B, C, D, E, F and G and
such other funds as may be established by the Administrator. The Administrator
shall have records maintained as of the Valuation Date for each fund allocating
a portion of the fund to each Participant who has elected that his or her
Account be invested in such fund. The records shall reflect each Participant's
portion of Funds A, B, D, E, F and G in a cash amount and shall reflect each
Participant's portion of Fund C in cash and unitized shares of stock.

          4.5 Voting Rights -- Participants whose Accounts have shares of
participation in the Raytheon Company Common Stock Fund on the last business day
of the second month preceding the record date (the "Voting Eligibility Date")
for any meeting of stockholders have the right to instruct the Trustee as to
voting at such meeting. The number of votes is determined by dividing the value
of the shares in the Participant's Account in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund by
the closing price of Raytheon Common Stock on the Voting Eligibility Date. If
the Trustee has not received instructions from a Participant as to voting of
shares within a specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote those shares. If
a Participant furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote direction card without
indicating a voting choice thereon, the Trustee shall vote Participant's shares
as recommended by management. In addition, each Participant shall have the right
to accept or reject any tender or exchange offer for shares of common stock. The
Trustee shall vote (or tender or exchange) all combined fractional shares of
Raytheon Common Stock to the extent possible in the same proportion as the
shares which have been voted (or tendered or exchanged) by each Participant. Any
instructions as to voting (or tender or exchange) received from an individual
Participant shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged
to the Companies or to any officer or employee thereof or to any other person.

                              ARTICLE V - VESTING

          5.1 Vesting Status -- Each Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable
right to any amounts in the Participant's Account.

                                       15

                   ARTICLE VI - WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

          6.1 In-Service Withdrawal - Employee and Qualified Non-Elective
Contribution Accounts -- While in a Period of Service, a Participant may
withdraw assets from his or her Account as follows:

          (a) all or a portion of the Participant's Employee Account and
Qualified NonElective Contribution Account upon attainment of age 59 1/2 or

          (b) a distributable amount (as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.401(k)-1(c)(2)
on account of a hardship as defined in the regulation. A distribution is made on
account of a hardship only if the distribution both is made on account of an
immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant and is necessary to
satisfy the financial need. The distributable amount is equal to the
Participant's total Elective Deferrals as of the date of distribution reduced by
the amount of previous distributions on account of hardship and increased by
that portion of income allocable to Elective Deferrals which was credited to the
Participant's Account as of December 31, 1988.

Withdrawals from the Employee Accounts of less than $250 will not be permitted.
Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as of a date established
by the Administrator through the application of a uniform and equitable rule and
will be effected by telephone notice to Fidelity. Payment of the amount
withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective
date of the withdrawal. Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such
other funds as may be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash;
withdrawals from Fund C will be made in either cash or stock (with cash for
fractional or unissued shares) as elected by the Participant. Funds for the
withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis against the Participant's
investment fund balances in the Participant's Employee Account.

        6.2     Documentation Required For Financial Hardship Withdrawals --

          (a) A Participant requesting a withdrawal of the distributable amount
of the Participant's Employee Account due to reasons of immediate and heavy
financial need must submit such documentation or information in other form as
required by the Administrator and shall advise Fidelity by telephone notice or
such other means as established by the Administrator's rules then in effect of
the existence of an immediate and heavy financial need and the fact that the
need will be satisfied by the requested distribution.

          (b) The Participant shall represent that this financial need cannot be
satisfied by any of the following sources: through reimbursement or compensation
by insurance or otherwise; by liquidation of the Participant's assets; by
cessation of Elective Deferrals under the Plan; or by other distributions or
non-taxable (at the time of the loan) loans currently available from plans
maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from
commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

                                       16

          (c) For purposes of Section 6.1, "immediate and heavy financial need"
is limited to financial need arising from the following specific causes:
expenses for medical care (as described in 213(d) of the Code) incurred by the
Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependents (as defined in 152 of
the Code) of the Participant, or which are necessary for these persons to obtain
medical care described in 213(d) of the Code; costs directly related to the
purchase of a principal residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage
payments); payment of tuition and related educational expenses for the next
twelve months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or the
Participant's spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in 152 of the Code);
to prevent the eviction from or foreclosure on the Participant's principal
residence; or any other circumstance, as determined by the Administrator based
upon all the relevant facts, establishing substantial justification for the
withdrawal.

          6.3 Suspension of Elective Deferrals for Financial Hardship
Withdrawals. If a Participant's application for a hardship withdrawal is
approved and the withdrawal effected, Participant's Elective Deferrals will be
suspended for a period of one year from the date of withdrawal. Thereafter,
Elective Deferrals shall be in the same amount and with the same investment
options as in effect prior to the withdrawal unless notice by telephone or in
writing giving other instructions is received by Fidelity prior to the
expiration of the one-year period from the withdrawal.

          6.4 In-Service Withdrawal - Rollover Contribution Account -- A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of the Participant's Rollover
Contribution Account. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the account as
of the date established by the Administrator through the application of a
uniform and equitable rule by telephone notice to Fidelity. Withdrawals will be
based upon the value of the Account as determined under Section 6.8. Payment of
the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the
effective date of the withdrawal. Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D and E will be
made in cash. Withdrawals from Fund C will be made in cash or stock (with cash
for fractional or unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

          6.5 Redeposits Prohibited -- No amount withdrawn pursuant to Sections
6.1, 6.4 or 6.6 may be redeposited in the Plan.

          6.6     Distribution --

          (a) Distribution of the Participant's Employee, Rollover Contribution
and Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Accounts will be made upon the
Retirement, Disability (as defined in Section 14.14), death, Severance from
Service (as defined in Section 14.47) or Layoff (as defined in Section 14.27) of
the Participant; or, to an alternate payee, upon issuance of a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order (as defined in Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue
Code and the Retirement Equity Act). In the event of the death of a Participant,
the distribution shall be made to the Participant's Beneficiary. The standard
form of distribution will be a lump sum distribution of the entire amount in the
Participant's Account (to which the Participant has a Nonforfeitable right)
which will be paid as soon as practicable following notification to the Benefits
and Services Department, Raytheon Company, Lexington, Massachusetts, of the
Retirement, death, Disability or Severance from Service and a telephone request
by the Participant to Fidelity for the distribution. Distributions will be based
upon the value of the Account as determined under Section 6.8. Distribution of

                                       17

the amounts in said accounts in the funds designated in Funds A, B, D, E, F and
G and such other funds as may be established by the Administrator, will be made
in cash. Distribution of any amount in said accounts in Fund C (Raytheon Company
stock) will be made in either cash or, if elected by the Participant or, in the
case of death, the Participant's Beneficiary, stock. Partial deferrals will not
be permitted. If there is no Beneficiary surviving a deceased Participant at the
time payment of a Participant's Account is to be made, such payment shall be
made in a lump sum to the person or persons in the first following class of
successive Beneficiaries surviving, any testamentary devise or bequest to the
contrary notwithstanding: the Participant's (a) spouse, (b) children and issue
of deceased children by right of representation, (c) parents, (d) brothers and
sisters and issue of deceased brothers and sisters by right of representation,
or (e) executors or administrators.

          (b) In the event that upon a Participant's Severance from Service Date
the Participant has a Nonforfeitable right to an Account in the Plan which
exceeds Thirty-Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), the Participant shall have the
option of not receiving an immediate distribution of the amount in his or her
Account.

          (c) Except as provided by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code as referenced
in this Section, benefits in the Plan will be distributed to each Participant
not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following events occurs:

(1) attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement Age;

(2) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which Participant commenced
participation in the Plan; or

(3) Participant's Severance from Service.

          If the amount of the benefit payable to a Participant has not been
ascertained by the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the three events described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above
occurred, or Participant cannot be located after reasonable efforts to do so,
then payment retroactive to said sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan
Year in which the latest of the three events occurred may be made no later than
sixty (60) days after the later of the earliest date on which the amount of such
payment can be ascertained under the Plan or the earliest date on which the
Participant is located.

          (d) To the extent required by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code,
distributions of Participants' Accounts will be made to Participants who attain
age 70 1/2.

                                       18

          (e) In the event amounts are transferred to this Plan from another
plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (other than amounts described in
Section 3.6(b)), any distribution or withdrawal rights available to the
Participant under such other plan which are protected under Section 411(d)(6) of
the Code shall be available to the Participant under this Plan.

          6.7 Direct Rollovers -- Effective January 1, 1993, a distributee may
elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have
any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. For purposes
of this paragraph, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

          (a) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution
is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the
distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any
distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
(not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of
the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
distributee and the distributee's beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10
years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is
not includible in gross income.

          (b) Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an
annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code or a qualified trust
described in Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee's eligible
rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution
to the surviving spouse, the term is limited to an individual retirement account
or individual retirement annuity.

          (c) Distributee: A distributee includes a Participant or former
Participant. In addition, the Participant's or former Participant's surviving
spouse and the Participant's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee
under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the
Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former
spouse.

          (d) Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

          6.8 Determination of Amount of Withdrawal or Distribution. In
determining the amount of any withdrawal or distribution hereunder, the
Participant's Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the
Valuation Date on which telephone notice is received; provided, however, that in
any case where the telephone notice is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
(daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on the date of the call), the
Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Valuation Date.

          6.9 Sale or Divestiture of Business -- Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 14.50(g), a Participant whose employment is terminated by reason of
the sale or divestiture of assets or stock of a business may withdraw part or
all of his or her Account if otherwise permitted by law.

                                       19

                              ARTICLE VII - LOANS

          7.1 Availability of Loans - Participants may borrow against all or a
portion of the balance in the Participant's Account subject to the limitations
set forth in this Article. Participants who have incurred a Severance from
Service will not be eligible for a Plan loan. The Vice President, Human
Resources, is authorized to administer this loan program and may establish
uniform and equitable rules to resolve issues not specifically covered in this
Article.

          7.2 Minimum Amount of Loan - No loan of less than $500 will be
permitted.

          7.3 Maximum Amount of Loan - No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%)
of the aggregate value of a Participant's Account balances will be permitted. In
addition, limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and any other requirements
of applicable statute or regulation will be applied. Under the current
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, if the aggregate value of a
Participant's Account exceeds $20,000, the loan cannot exceed the lesser of
one-half (1/2) the Nonforfeitable aggregate value or $50,000 reduced by the
excess of (a) the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the
one-year period ending on the day before the date on which such loan was made
over (b) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which
such loan was made.

          7.4 Effective Date of Loans -- Loans will be effective as specified in
the Administrator's rules then in effect.

          7.5 Repayment Schedule -- The Participant may select a repayment
schedule of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. If the loan is used to acquire any dwelling
which, within a reasonable time is to be used (determined at the time the loan
is made) as the principal residence of the Participant, the repayment period may
be extended up to 15 years at the election of the Participant. All repayments
will be made through payroll deductions in accordance with the loan agreement
executed at the time the loan is made, except that, in the event of the sale of
all or a portion of the business of the Employer or one of the Companies, or
other unusual circumstances, the Administrator, through uniform and equitable
rules, may establish other means of repayment. The loan agreement will permit
repayment of the entire outstanding balance in one lump sum. The minimum
repayment amount per pay period is $10 for Participants paid weekly and $50 for
Participants paid monthly. The repayment schedule shall provide for
substantially level amortization of the loan.

          7.6 Limit on Number of Loans -- No more than two loans may be
outstanding at any time.

          7.7 Interest Rate -- The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this
Article will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on
the first business day in June and December of each year. The rate published on
the first business day in June will apply to loans which are effective at any
time during the period July 1 through December 31 thereafter; the rate published
on the first business day of December will apply to loans which are effective at
any time during the period January 1 through June 30 thereafter.

                                       20

          7.8 Effect Upon Participant's Employee Account -- Upon the granting of
a loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in the
Participant's Account to the respective investment funds will be reduced on a
pro rata basis and replaced by the loan balance which will be designated as an
asset in the Account. Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the
Participant's Accounts in the following sequence, with no reduction of the
succeeding Accounts until prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan:
Employee Account and Rollover Contribution Account. Upon repayment of the
principal and interest, the loan balance will be reduced, the Participant
Accounts will be increased in reverse order in which they were exhausted by the
loan, and the loan payments will be allocated to the respective investment funds
in accordance with the investment election then in effect.

          7.9 Effect of Severance From Service and Non-Payment -- In the event
that a loan remains outstanding upon Severance from Service of a Participant,
the Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding
loan. In any case where payments on the outstanding loan are not made within 90
days of the Participant's Severance from Service Date, the amount of any unpaid
principal will be deducted from the Participant's Account and reported as a
distribution. If, as a result of Layoff or Authorized Leave of Absence, a
Participant, although still in a Period of Service, is not being compensated
through the Employer's payroll system, loan payments will be suspended until the
earliest of the first pay date after Participant returns to active employment
with the Employer, the Participant's Severance from Service Date, or the
expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the suspension. In the event
the Participant does not return to active employment with the Employer, the
Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding
loan. If the Participant fails to resume payments on the loan, the outstanding
loan will be reported as a taxable distribution. In no event, however, shall the
loan be deducted from the Participant's Account earlier than the date on which
the Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service or (ii) attains age 59-1/2.

             ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATIONS OF SECTION 415 OF THE CODE

          8.1 Maximum Permissible Amount of a Participant's Annual Addition --
The total for any Limitation Year of the annual additions to a Participant's
Account under this Plan when added to the annual additions to a Participant's
account under any qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of total
compensation from the Employer, and (ii) $30,000 or, if greater, one-fourth of
the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in Section 415(b)(1) of the Code
as in effect for the Limitation Year.

          For purposes of this Section 8.1, the term "annual addition" shall
mean, with respect to any Limitation Year, Elective Deferrals and Qualified
Nonelective Contributions, if any, to this Plan, plus the sum of the following
amounts allocable for such Plan Year to the Participant's accounts in all other
qualified plans maintained by the Employer in which he participates: (1)
employer contributions (including pre-tax contributions), (2) forfeitures which
have been reallocated to the Participant's account, (3) Participant after-tax
contributions; and (4) amounts described in Sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2) of
the Code.

                                       21

          For purposes of this Section 8.1, the term "compensation" shall mean
all amounts paid to an Employee for personal services actually rendered to the
Companies and Affiliates, including, but not limited to, wages, salary,
commissions, bonuses, overtime and other premium pay as specified in Reg.
1.415-2(d)(2), but excluding deferred compensation, stock options, and other
distributions which receive special tax treatment as specified in Reg.
1.415-2(d)(3).

          8.2 Reduction of Annual Additions -- In the event it is determined
that the annual additions to a Participant's accounts under this Plan or any
other qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer for any
limitation year would be in excess of the limitations of Section 8.1, such
annual additions shall be reduced to the extent necessary to bring them within
such limitations. If, as a result of a reasonable error in estimating a
Participant's Eligible Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the
amount of Elective Deferrals that may be made with respect to any Participant,
or under other limited facts and circumstances which the Internal Revenue
Service finds justify the availability of the remedies contained herein, the
Administrator, in coordination with the administrator of any other defined
contribution plan maintained by the Employer, shall reduce the annual additions
which have been made to a Participant's accounts to the acceptable limit by the
following procedures, or a pro rata basis, in the following order:

          (a) by returning to the Participant any voluntary or mandatory
Employee contributions made to the Raytheon Support Services Company Money
Accumulation Plan or any other defined contribution plan maintained by the
Employer;

          (b) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded, Elective Deferrals
to this Plan, or other defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k)
of the Code maintained by the Employer during such Limitation Year, shall be
distributed to the Participant; and

          (c) to the extent such limitation is still exceeded, any Qualified
Non-Elective Contribution to Participant's account in this Plan or other defined
contribution plan, or other defined contribution plan qualified under Section
401(k) of the Code maintained by the Employer during such LImitation Year, shall
be reduced to the extent necessary to reduce annual additions to the acceptable
limit;

          (d) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded, any Matching
Employer Contributions to this Plan, or other defined contribution plan
qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code maintained by the Employer during
such Limitation Year, shall be reduced to the extent necessary to decrease
Participant's annual additions to the acceptable limit;

          (e) to the extent the limitation is still exceeded, excess annual
additions in the Participant's Account in the Raytheon Stock Ownership Plan
(RAYSOP) shall be used to reduce allocations for the next Limitation Year (and
succeeding Limitation Years, as necessary) for that Participant if the
Participant is covered by the plan at the end of such Limitation Year. In the
event the Participant is not covered by such plan at the end of the Limitation
Year, any excess annual additions which remain must, as provided in Reg.
1.415-6(b)(6)(ii), be held unallocated in a suspense account for the Limitation
Year and reallocated in the next Limitation Year to all of the remaining
Participants in proportion to their RAYSOP allocation in such Plan Year.

                                       22

          8.3 Coordination with Limitation on Benefit from All Plans --
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan to the contrary, in the case
of a Participant who also participates in any qualified defined benefit plan
which is maintained by the Employer (whether or not terminated), the sum of the
defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan fraction may not
exceed 1.0 for any Limitation Year. The defined benefit plan fraction for any
Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator of which is the projected annual
benefit of the Participant under the plan (determined as of the close of the
Limitation Year); and the denominator of which is the lesser of (i) the product
of 1.25, multiplied by the dollar limitation applicable to defined benefit
plans, in effect under applicable law for such Limitation Year; or (ii) the
product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
average compensation for the three consecutive calendar years during which he
had the highest aggregate compensation from the Employer. The defined
contribution plan fraction for any Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of the annual additions (as defined in Section 8.1) to the
Participant's Accounts as of the close of the Limitation Year; and the
denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts
determined for the current Limitation Year and each prior Limitation Year: (i)
the product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar limitation applicable to defined
contribution plans, in effect under applicable law for the Limitation Year; or
(ii) the product of 1.4 multiplied by 25% of such Participant's total
compensation for the Limitation Year. In the event that the limitation set forth
above is exceeded, adjustments shall be made in the defined benefit plan.

          8.4 Effective Date -- This Article VIII shall be effective for
Limitation Years beginning on or after January 1, 1987.

              ARTICLE IX - LIMITATIONS OF SECTION 416 OF THE CODE

          9.1 General Rule -- In the event that the Plan becomes top heavy with
respect to a Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1988, the provisions of
this Article shall apply.

          9.2 Definitions --

          (a) Key Employee: Any Employee or former Employee (and the
Beneficiaries of such Employee) who at any time during the determination period
was an office of the Employer, an owner (or considered an owner under Section
415(c)(1)(A) of the Code) of one of the ten largest interests in the Employer if
such individual's compensation exceeds 150 percent of the dollar limitation
under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code, a five percent (5%) owner of the
Employer, or a one percent (1%) owner of the Employer who has an annual
compensation of more than $150,000. The determination period of the Plan is the
Plan Year containing the determination date and the four (4) preceding Plan
Years. The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance
with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

          (b) Non-Key Employee: Any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

          (c) Top-Heavy Ratio:

                                       23

(i)       If the Employer maintains one or more defined benefit plans and the
          Employer has never maintained any defined contribution plans
          (including any simplified employee pension plan) which has covered or
          could cover a Participant in this Plan, the Top-Heavy Ratio is a
          fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of
          accrued benefits of all Key Employees as of the determination date
          (including any part of any accrued benefit distributed in the
          five-year period ending on the determination date), and the
          denominator of which is the sum of all accrued benefits (including any
          part of any accrued benefit distributed in the five-year period ending
          on the determination date) of all Participants as of the determination
          date.

(ii)      If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans
          (including any simplified employee pension plan) and the Employer
          maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which
          have covered or could cover a Participant in this Plan, the Top-Heavy
          Ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account
          balances under the defined contribution plans for all Key Employees
          and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit
          plans for all Key Employees, and the denominator of which is the sum
          of the account balances under the defined contribution plans for all
          Participants and the present value of accrued benefits under the
          defined benefit plans for all Participants. Both the numerator and
          denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any distribution
          of an account balance or an accrued benefit made in the five-year
          period ending on the determination date and any contribution due but
          unpaid as of the determination date.

(iii)     For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of account balances and
          the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the
          most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month
          period ending on the determination date. The account balances and
          accrued benefits of a Participant who is not a Key Employee but who
          was a Key Employee in a prior year will be disregarded. The
          calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which
          distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be
          made in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations
          thereunder. Deductible Employee contributions will not be taken into
          account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio. When
          aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued benefits
          will be calculated with reference to the determination dates that fall
          within the same calendar year. The accrued benefit of a Participant
          other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (a) the method, if
          any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined
          benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (b) if there is no such
          method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest
          accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Section
          411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

          (d) Permissive aggregation group: The required aggregation group of
plans plus any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a
group with the required aggregation group would continue to satisfy the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

                                       24

          (e) Required aggregation group: (i) Each qualified plan of the
Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates, and (ii) any other
qualified plan of the Employer which enables a plan described in (i) to meet the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

          (f) Determination date: For any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan
Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan Year of the
Plan, the last day of that year.

          (g) Valuation date: The last day of each Plan Year.

          (h) Present Value: Present Value shall be based only on the interest
rate used by the Administrator to determine compliance with the funding
requirements under the Retirement Act and the mortality rates specified on an
appropriate current unisex table.

          9.3 Determination as to Whether the Plan is Top Heavy -- The
Administrator shall determine whether the Plan is top heavy within the meaning
of Section 416. The Plan shall be top heavy for any Plan Year beginning after
December 2, 1987, if, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the
"determination date"), any of the following conditions exist:

          (a) If the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%)
and this Plan is not part of any required aggregation group or permissive
aggregation group of plans;

          (b) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group of plans
(but which is not part of a permissive aggregation group) and the Top-Heavy
Ratio for the group of plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or

          (c) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group of plans
and part of a permissive aggregation group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the
permissive aggregation group exceeds sixty percent (60%).

          In determining whether the Plan is top heavy for Plan Years commencing
after December 31, 1988, the Account balance of a Participant who has not
performed an Hour of Service for the Employer at any time during the
five-consecutive-year period ending on the determination date shall be excluded
from the calculation of the Top Heavy Ratio.

          9.4 Minimum Contribution -- For each Plan Year with respect to which
the Plan is top heavy, the minimum amount allocated under the Plan for the
benefit of each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee and who is otherwise
eligible for such an allocation shall be the lesser of:

          (a) Three percent (3%) of the Non-Key Participant's compensation
(within the meaning of Section 415 of the Code) for the Plan Year, or

                                       25

          (b) the Non-Key Participant's compensation (as defined in Section 415
of the Code) times a percentage equal to the largest percentage of such
compensation (not exceeding $200,000, $150,000 for Plan Years beginning on or
after January 1, 1994) allocated to any Key Employee for the Plan Year under
this Plan and all other defined contribution plans in the same required
aggregation group. This clause (b) shall not apply to any plan required to be
included in an aggregation group if such plan enables a defined benefit plan
required to be included in such group to meet the requirements of Section
401(a)(4) or Section 410 of the Code.

          This paragraph shall not apply to a Participant covered under a
qualified defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer if the Participant's
vested benefit thereunder satisfies the requirements of Section 416(c) of the
Code. Notwithstanding any other language herein, a Non-Key Eligible Employee may
not fail to receive a defined contribution minimum allocation because either (1)
said Eligible Employee was excluded from participation (or accrues no benefit)
merely because the Employee's compensation is less than the stated amount, or
(2) the Employee is excluded from participation (or accrues no benefit) merely
because of a failure to make Elective Deferrals.

                           ARTICLE X - THE TRUST FUND

          10.1 Trust Agreement -- During the period in which this Plan remains
in existence, the Employer or any successor thereto shall maintain in effect a
Trust Agreement with a corporate trustee as Trustee, to hold, invest, and
distribute the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of such Trust Agreement.

          10.2 Investment of Accounts -- The Trustee shall invest and reinvest
the Participant's Accounts in investment options as defined in Section 4.1 as
directed by the Administrator or its delegate in writing. The Administrator
shall issue such directions in accordance with the investment options selected
by the Participants which shall remain in force until altered in accordance with
Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

          10.3 Expenses -- Expenses of the Plan and Trust shall be paid from the
Trust.

                    ARTICLE XI - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

          11.1 General Administration -- The general administration of the Plan
shall be the responsibility of Raytheon Company (or any successor thereto) which
shall be the Administrator and Named Fiduciary for purposes of the Retirement
Act. The Company shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to construe
the terms of the Plan and to make determinations as to eligibility for benefits
and as to other issues within the "Responsibilities of the Administrator"
described in Article XI, Section 11.2. All such determinations of the Company
shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

          11.2 Responsibilities of the Administrator -- The Administrator shall
assign responsibility for performance of all necessary administrative duties,
including the following:

                                       26

          (a) Determination of all questions which may arise under the Plan with
respect to eligibility for participation and administration of accounts,
including without limitation questions with respect to membership, vesting,
loans, withdrawals, accounting, status of accounts, stock ownership and voting
rights, and any other issue requiring interpretation or application of the Plan.

          (b) Reference of appropriate issues to the Offices of the Executive
Vice President - Chief Financial Officer, and the Vice President - Human
Resources, of Raytheon Company, respectively, for advice and counsel.

          (c) Establishment of procedures required by the Plan, such as
notification to Employees as to joining the Plan, selecting and changing
investment options, suspending deferrals, exercising voting rights in stock,
withdrawing and borrowing account balances, designation of beneficiaries,
election of method of distribution, and any other matters requiring a uniform
procedure.

          (d) Submission of necessary amendments to supplement omissions from
the Plan or reconcile any inconsistency therein.

          (e) Filing appropriate reports with the Government as required by law.

          (f) Appointment of a Trustee or Trustees and investment managers.

          (g) Review at appropriate intervals of the performance of the Trustee

          (h) Appointment of such additional Fiduciaries as deemed necessary for
the effective administration of the Plan, such appointments to be by written
instrument.

          11.3 Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries -- Each Fiduciary shall
be responsible only for the duties allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary, and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility
with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary unless:

          (a) The Fiduciary knowingly participates in or knowingly attempts to
conceal the act or omission of such other Fiduciary and knows that such act or
omission constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility by the other
Fiduciary;

          (b) The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary
responsibility by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable efforts under
the circumstances to remedy the breach; or

          (c) The Fiduciary's own breach of his specific fiduciary
responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach. No Fiduciary
shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his assumption of
Fiduciary status or after his termination from such status.

          11.4 Employment by Fiduciaries -- Any Fiduciary hereunder may employ,
with the written approval of the Administrator, one or more persons to render
service with regard to any responsibility which has been assigned to such
Fiduciary under the terms of the Plan including legal, tax, or investment
counsel and may delegate to one or more persons any administrative duties
(clerical or otherwise) hereunder.

                                       27

          11.5 Recordkeeping -- The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept
any necessary data required for determining the account status of each
Participant. In compiling such information, the Administrator may rely upon its
employment records, including representations made by the Participant in the
employment application and subsequent documents submitted by the Participant to
the Employer. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such information when
furnished by the Administrator or its delegate. Each Employee shall be required
to furnish the Administrator upon request and in such form as prescribed by the
Administrator, such personal information, affidavits and authorizations to
obtain information as the Administrator may deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Plan, including but not limited to proof of the Employee's
date of birth and the date of birth of any person designated by a Participant as
a Beneficiary.

          11.6 Claims Review Procedure -- The Administrator shall make all
determinations as to the right of any person to Accounts under the Plan. Any
such determination by the Administrator shall be made pursuant to the following
procedure:

Step 1.   Claims with respect to an Account should be filed by a claimant as
          soon as practicable after claimant knows or should know that a dispute
          has arisen with respect to an Account, but at least thirty (30) days
          prior to the claimant's actual retirement date or, if applicable,
          within sixty (60) days after the death, Disability or Severance from
          Service of the Participant whose Account is at issue, by mailing a
          copy of the claim to the Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon
          Company, 141 Spring Street, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

Step 2.   In the event that a claim with respect to an Account is wholly or
          partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator shall, within
          ninety (90) days following receipt of the claim, so advise the
          claimant in writing setting forth: the specific reason or reasons for
          the denial; specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which
          the denial is based; a description of any additional material or
          information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim; an
          explanation as to why such material or information is necessary; and
          an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

Step 3.   Within sixty (60) days following receipt of the denial of a claim
          with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have the denial
          appealed shall file a request for review with the Administrator by
          mailing a copy thereof to the address shown in Step 1.

Step 4.   Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request for review,
          the Administrator shall provide the claimant a further opportunity to
          present his or her position. At the Administrator's discretion, such
          presentation may be through an oral or written presentation. Prior to
          such presentation, the claimant shall be permitted the opportunity to
          review pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in
          writing. Within a reasonable time following presentation of the
          claimant's position, which usually should not exceed thirty (30) days,
          the Administrator shall inform the claimant in writing of the decision
          on review setting forth the reasons for such decision and citing
          pertinent provisions in the Plan.

                                       28

          The Administrator is the fiduciary to whom the Plan grants full
discretion, with the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to determine
whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount, form and
timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter under the Plan which is
raised by a claimant or identified by the Administrator. All questions arising
from or in connection with the provisions of the Plan and its administration,
not herein provided to be determined by the Board of Directors, shall be
determined by the Administrator, and any determination so made shall be
conclusive and binding upon all persons affected thereby.

          11.7 Indemnification of Directors and Employees -- The Companies shall
indemnify by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a director, officer or
employee of the Employer, his heirs and legal representatives, against all
liability and reasonable expense, including counsel fees, amounts paid in
settlement and amounts of judgments, fines or penalties, incurred or imposed
upon him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of acts or omissions
in his capacity as a Fiduciary hereunder, provided that such act or omission is
not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Companies may
indemnify other Fiduciaries, their heirs and legal representatives, under the
circumstances, and subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding
sentence, if such indemnification is determined by the Board of Directors to be
in the best interests of the Companies.

          11.8 Immunity from Liability -- Except to the extent that Section
410(a) of the Retirement Act prohibits the granting of immunity to Fiduciaries
from liability for any responsibility, obligation, or duty imposed under Title
I, Subtitle B, Part 4, of said Act, an officer, employee, member of the Board of
Directors of the Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this
Plan shall be immune from any liability for any action or failure to act except
such action or failure to act which results from said officer's, Employee's,
Participant's or other person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

               ARTICLE XII - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

          12.1 Right to Amend or Terminate Plan -- Each of the Companies
reserves the right at any time or times, by action of the Chairman, the
President, the Treasurer or the Vice President, Human Resources of the Company,
to modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part as to its Employees,
in which event a written direction from an authorized officer, approving such
modification, amendment or termination shall be delivered to the Trustee and to
the other Companies whose Employees are covered by this Plan, provided, however,
no amendment to the Plan shall be made which shall:

          (a) deprive any Participant of amounts allocated to his Account prior
to the date of the amendment;

          (b) except as provided in Section 3.8, make it possible for any part
of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be used for or diverted to purposes
other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their beneficiaries
prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to such Participant or
their Beneficiaries;

                                       29

          (c) modify the vesting schedule and deprive a Participant of his
Nonforfeitable rights to amounts allocated to his account prior to the date of
the amendment. Further, if the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, or the
Plan is amended to directly or indirectly affect a Nonforfeitable percentage of
a Participant's Account, each Participant with a Period of Service of at least
three years may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the
amendment to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without
regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be made shall
commence with the date the amendment is adopted or the change made and shall end
on the latest of:

(i)       60 days after the amendment is adopted;

(ii)      60 days after the amendment becomes effective, or

(iii)     60 days  after the  Participant  is issued  written  notice of the
          amendment;

          (d) increase the duties of liabilities of the Trustee without its
consent.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other
provisions of this Plan, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be made
retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan with, or to
satisfy the conditions of, the Retirement Act, the Code, or any other law,
governmental regulation or ruling.

          Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan shall be
subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

          12.2 Maintenance of Plan -- The Company has established the Plan with
the bona fide intention and expectation that it will continue the Plan
indefinitely, but the Company is not and shall not be under any obligation or
liability whatsoever to maintain the Plan for any given length of time.

          12.3 Termination of Plan and Trust -- The Plan and Trust hereby
created shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (a) Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination executed by the
Company specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall terminate;

          (b) Adjudication of the Company as bankrupt or general assignment by
the Company to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution of the Company;

          In the event of the complete termination of this Plan (but a
rescission under Section 13.2 for failure to qualify initially is not such a
termination), the rights of each Participant to the amounts then credited to his
or her Account shall be Nonforfeitable. In the event of the partial termination
of this Plan, the rights of each Employee (as to whom the Plan is considered
terminated) to the amounts then credited to his or her Account, shall be
Nonforfeitable. Whether or not there is a complete or partial termination of

                                       30


this Plan shall be determined under the regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Internal Revenue Code. To the extent this paragraph is inconsistent with any
provisions contained elsewhere in this Plan or in the Trust which forms a part
of this Plan, this paragraph shall govern. Upon such termination of the Plan and
Trust, after payment of all expenses and proportional adjustment of accounts to
reflect such expenses, fund losses or profits, and reallocations to the date of
termination, each Participant or former Participant shall, subject to the
requirements of Section 401(k)(10) of the Code and Reg. 1.401(k)-1(d)(3), be
entitled to receive any amounts then credited to his or her Account in the Trust
Fund. The Trustee may make payments in cash or, to the extent permitted by
Section 6.6, in stock.

                      ARTICLE XIII - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

          13.1 Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer -- In the event of
any merger or consolidation with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any
other plan or to this Plan, each Participant of the Plan shall be entitled to a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, which is equal
to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had been
terminated).

          13.2 Necessity of Initial Qualification -- This Plan is established
with the intent that it shall qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
Code as that section exists at the time the Plan is established. If the Internal
Revenue Service determines that the Plan initially fails to meet those
requirements, then within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination
all of the vested assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of Participants
and their beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the contributors to
the Plan in proportion to their contributions, and the Plan shall be considered
to be rescinded and of no force or effect, unless such inadequacy is removed by
a retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code.

          13.3 Limitation of Assignment -- No account under the Plan shall be
subject in any manner to attachment, anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, or the vesting of rights in any
person by operation of law or otherwise except as provided under this Plan,
including but not limited to the Trustee or Receiver in Bankruptcy, and any
attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, encumber or charge
the same shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any way liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person
entitled to such benefit. If any Participant is adjudicated bankrupt, or
attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or
charge any benefit under the Plan, then such benefit shall, in the discretion of
the Administrator, cease and terminate and in that event the Trustee shall hold
or apply the same or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant
in such manner as the Administrator may direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Administrator is authorized to comply with a domestic relations order
determined by it to be a qualified domestic relations order as defined in
Section 414(p) of the Code. A distribution may be made to an alternate payee
under a qualified domestic relations order in the form of a lump sum payment at
the time specified in such order, regardless of any restrictions on the
commencement of the distribution that then may apply to the Participant to whom
the order relates.

                                       31

          13.4 Limitation of Rights of Employees -- This Plan is strictly a
voluntary undertaking on the part of the Companies and shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract between any of the Companies and any Employee, or to be a
consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of the employment of any
Employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the
right to be retained in the service of any of the Companies or shall interfere
with the right of any of the Companies to discharge or otherwise terminate the
employment of any Employee of the respective company at any time. No Employee
shall be entitled to any right or claim hereunder except to the extent such
right is specifically fixed under the terms of the Plan.

          13.5 Construction -- The Plan shall be construed, regulated, and
administered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except to the
extent that the Retirement Act otherwise requires. In the event that any
provision of this Plan is inconsistent with any provision in the Retirement Act,
the provision in the Retirement Act shall be deemed to be controlling.

          13.6 Merger of Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan --
Effective as of December 31, 1994, or such earlier date as is determined to be
administratively feasible (the "Merger Date"), the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings
and Investment Plan shall be merged into this Plan. All assets held pursuant to
the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan shall be transferred to the
Trustee, such transfer to be effective as of the Merger Date. Amounts held in
the various investment accounts under the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and
Investment Plan and Trust shall be transferred to the investment accounts under
the Trust in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator. Upon
such transfer, the assets of the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan
shall become assets of this Plan for all purposes hereunder, effective as of the
Merger Date, and this Plan shall assume all the liabilities of the Raytheon
Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan, and benefits shall thereafter be
allocated and paid pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. All participants in
the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan shall remain fully vested in
their accounts which are transferred to this Plan. All withdrawal and
distribution options under the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan
shall be made available under this Plan with respect to the transferred accounts
to the extent required by Section 411(d)(6) of the Code. Any amendments to this
Plan which are effective prior to January 1, 1994 shall be considered as
amendments to the Raytheon Subsidiary Savings and Investment Plan as well.

Specified Hourly Payroll Employees -- Effective as of December 5, 1994, the

Inc. in the unit represented by Local 2385, International Association of

Investment Plan for Specified Hourly Payroll Employees. Plan assets equal to the
Transferred Accounts shall be transferred to the trustee under the Raytheon

                   Provisions in Effect as of January 1, 1996

                              ARTICLE I - PREAMBLE

         The Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan for Puerto Rico based
employees, which became effective January 1, 1995, provides employees with a
tax-effective means of allocating a portion of their salary to be invested in
one or more investment opportunities specified in the Plan as determined by the
employee and set aside for short-term and long-term needs of the employee. The
Plan is applicable only to eligible employees who meet the requirements for
membership on or after January 1, 1995. It is intended that the Plan will comply
with all of the requirements for a qualified profit sharing plan under Section
3165(e) of the Revenue Code of Puerto Rico ("Code") and will be amended from
time to time to maintain compliance with these requirements. The terms used in
the Plan have the meanings specified in Article XIII unless the context
indicates otherwise. The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in
Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and Title 29 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, ss.2250.44(c)-1. Participants in the Plan are
responsible for selecting their own investment opportunities from the options
available under the Plan, and the Plan fiduciaries are relieved of any liability
for any losses which are a direct and necessary result of investment
instructions given by a participant or beneficiary.

                            ARTICLE II - ELIGIBILITY

         2.1. Eligibility Requirements - Present Employees -- Each Eligible

2.2.

         2.2. Eligibility Requirements - Other Employees -- Each other Eligible

said Employment Commencement Date or any subsequent Pay Period selected by the
Eligible Employee during the same Period of Service. Each Eligible Employee
whose Reemployment Commencement Date is on or after January 1, 1995, may join
the Plan as of the first Entry Date next following said Reemployment
Commencement Date.

                                       2

         2.3. Procedure for Joining the Plan -- Each Eligible Employee who meets
the requirements of Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 may join the Plan by
communicating with Fidelity in accordance with instructions in an enrollment kit
which will be made available to each Eligible Employee. An enrollment in the

3.2, subject to the limitations in the Code referred to in Section 3.3; election

nondiscriminatory basis.

         2.4. Transfer Between Companies to Position Covered by Plan -- A
Participant who is transferred from employment with one of the Companies to
employment as an Eligible Employee with another one of the Companies may remain
a Participant of the Plan with his or her new Company.

         2.5. Transfer to Position Not Covered by Plan -- If a Participant is
transferred to another position with the Employer in which the Participant is no
longer an Eligible Employee, the Participant will remain a Participant of the
Plan with respect to Elective Deferrals previously made but will no longer be
eligible to have Elective Deferrals made to the Plan on his or her behalf until
he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee. In the event the Participant is
subsequently transferred to a position in which he or she again becomes an
Eligible Employee, the Participant may renew Elective Deferrals by communicating
with Fidelity and providing all of the information requested by Fidelity. The
renewal of Elective Deferrals will be effective as of the first administratively
feasible Pay Period following receipt by Fidelity of the requested information.

                           ARTICLE III - CONTRIBUTIONS

         3.1. Employer Contributions -- The Companies shall contribute to the
Trust established under this Plan from Net Annual Profits or Net Profits an
amount equal to the total amount of Elective Deferrals agreed to be made by the
Companies pursuant to designation by Participants.

         3.2. Elective Deferrals -- Elective Deferrals must be made in one
percent (1%) increments with a minimum Elective Deferral of one percent (1%) of
Eligible Compensation and a maximum Elective Deferral of fifteen percent (15%)
but no Participant may defer more than $7,000 for any Plan Year.

         3.3. Revenue Code of Puerto Rico Requirements -- All Elective Deferrals
and Matching Contributions are subject to all of the nondiscrimination tests
established in Section 3165 of the Code, including in particular the limitations
in Section 3165(c)(3).

         3.4. Reinstatement of Reduced Amounts -- Any reduction effected
pursuant to Section 3.3 will remain in effect for the remainder of the Plan Year
in which the reduction occurs and will not be automatically reinstated. A
Participant whose Elective Deferral has been reduced may elect to increase his
or her Elective Deferral effective as of any Pay Period subsequent to notice
from the Administrator that Elective Deferrals may be increased as of a
specified Pay Period. This election must be made in accordance with the
procedure described in Section 3.5.

                                       3

         3.5. Change in Elective Deferrals -- Except as provided in Sections 3.3
and 3.4, any Participant may change his or her Elective Deferral percentage to
increase or decrease said percentage by notifying Fidelity, such change to take
effect as of the next administratively feasible Pay Period.

         3.6. Voluntary Reduction of Elective Deferral to Zero --Notwithstanding
the notice requirements specified in Section 3.5, any Participant may elect to
reduce the level of the Participant's Elective Deferral to zero as of the
beginning of any pay period. The reduction will take effect as soon as
practicable following telephone notification by the Participant to Fidelity. A
Participant who has reduced his or her Elective Deferral to zero may again make
Elective Deferrals as of the next administratively feasible Pay period
subsequent to telephone notification to Fidelity.

         3.7. Matching Contributions -- For each Plan Year, commencing on or
after January 1, 1995, subject to limitations imposed by the Code, the Companies
will match from Net Annual Profits or Net Profits the Elective Deferral of each
Participant at the rate of one-half (1/2) of the Participant's Elective Deferral
on an annual basis provided that: (i) for any Pay Period the matching amount
shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the Participant's Eligible Compensation
for that Pay Period; and (ii) as soon as administratively feasible subsequent to
the end of the Plan Year, the differential, if any, by which an amount equal to
one-half (1/2) of the Participant's Elective Deferral for the Plan Year exceeds
the amount of Matching Contributions actually made to Participant for that year,
to an annual maximum of three percent (3%) of the Participant's Eligible
Compensation for the Plan Year, will be paid into the Participant's Account.

         3.8. Forfeitures -- In the event that a Participant incurs a Severance
of Service prior to attaining a Nonforfeitable right to the Participant's
Matching Contribution, the Matching Contribution will be forfeited as of the
Severance from Service Date. Forfeitures of Matching Contributions will be used
to reduce future contributions of the Companies to the Plan. A forfeiture will
occur as of the first day of the month immediately following a month in which a
Severance from Service occurs and results in a forfeiture. In the event that a
Period of Severance is credited to a Participant's Period of Service pursuant to
Section 5.3(b), any forfeiture of a Matching Contribution resulting from said
Period of Severance will be restored to the Participant's Matching Contribution
Account. When a prior Period of Service is reinstated, forfeitures related to
said prior Period of Service will be restored to the extent required by law.

         3.9.  Rollover Contributions --

                    (a) Effective January 1, 1995, Participants may transfer
into the Plan qualifying rollover amounts received from other qualified trusts
subject to Section 3165 of the Code. Such transfers will be referred to as
"rollover contributions" and will be subject to the following conditions:

                           (i) the transferred funds are received by the Trustee
         no later than sixty (60) days from receipt by the Employee of a
         distribution from a qualified trust, subject, however, to (v) below
         where applicable;



                                       4

                          (ii)  the amount of such rollover contributions shall
         not exceed any applicable limitation set forth in the Code;

                           (iii) rollover contributions shall be taken into
         account by the Administrator in determining the Participant's
         eligibility for a loan pursuant to Article VII;

                           (iv)  rollover contributions may be distributed at 
         the request of the Participant, subject to the same administrative
         procedures as apply to other distributions;

                           (v) rollover contributions may not be received by the
         Trustee earlier than the Entry Date upon which the Participant elects
         to join the Plan;

                           (vi) rollover contributions transferred pursuant to
         this paragraph (a) of Section 3.9 shall be credited to the
         Participant's Rollover Contribution Account. Rollover contributions
         will be invested upon receipt by the Trustee;

                           (vii) no rollover contribution will be accepted
         unless (A) the Employee on whose behalf the rollover contribution will
         be made is either a Participant or has notified the Administrator that
         he intends to become a Participant on the first date on which he is
         eligible therefor; and (B) all required information, including
         selection of specific investment accounts, is provided to Fidelity.
         When the rollover contribution has been deposited, any further change
         in investment allocation of future deferrals or transfer of account
         balances between investment funds will be effected through the
         procedures set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

                           (viii) Under no circumstances shall the Administrator
         accept as a rollover contribution amounts which have previously been
         subject to Puerto Rico income tax.

         3.10. Refund of Matching Contributions to the Companies

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Article XI, the Trustee shall refund to
the Companies, upon written request, Matching Contributions made by the 
Companies:

                           (a) by a mistake of fact, provided that such refund
         is made within one (1) year after the making of the Matching
         Contribution; or

                           (b) which would otherwise be an excess contribution
         under the Code, to the extent permitted to avoid penalties on such
         excess contributions.

                                       5

         3.11. Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contributions -- In order to
satisfy (or partially satisfy) the non-discrimination tests established in
Section 3165 of the Code, the Company in its sole discretion may make a
Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contribution to the Plan. Any such Corrective
Qualified Non-Elective Contribution shall be allocated to the Accounts of those
Participants who are non-highly compensated Employees for the Plan Year with
respect to which such Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contribution is made,
beginning with the Participant with the lowest compensation for such Plan Year
and allocating the maximum amount permissible under Section 3.2 before
allocating any portion of such Qualified Non-Elective Contribution to the
Participant with the next lowest compensation. Such allocations shall continue
until the Plan satisfies the non-discrimination tests in Section 3165 of the
Code or until the amount of such Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contribution
is exhausted.

         The Company, in its sole discretion, may include all or a portion of
the Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for a Plan Year in aggregate
401(k) contributions taken into account in applying the non-discrimination tests
in Section 3165 of the Code, provided that the requirements of Treasury
Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(b)(5) are satisfied.

         Fund D -   a stock index fund designated by the Administrator;

         Fund E -   a balanced fund designated by the Administrator;

         Fund             F - a growth fund, designated by the Administrator,
                          investing primarily in equities of companies of all
                          types and sizes;

         Fund             G - a growth fund, designated by the Administrator,
                          investing primarily in equities of well-known and
                          established companies.

         In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time designate
         new funds and, where appropriate, preclude investment in existing funds
         and provide for the transfer of Accounts invested in those funds to
         other funds selected by the Participant or, if no such election is
         made, to Fund B or similar low risk fixed income fund as determined by
         the Administrator in its discretion.

                                       6

Each election will apply to both accounts so that the Employee Account and
Matching Contribution Account of the Participant will be invested in the same
percentages in the one or more investment funds selected by the Participant.

         4.2. Change in Investment Allocation of Future Deferrals -Each
Participant may elect to change the investment allocation of future Elective
Deferrals, Matching Contributions and rollover contributions effective as of the
first administratively feasible Business Day subsequent to telephone notice to
Fidelity. Any changes must also be made either in increments of one percent (1%)
of the Participant's Account or in a specified whole dollar amount and must
result in a total investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
Account.

         4.3. Transfer of Account Balances Between Investment Funds -- Each
Participant may elect to transfer all or a portion of the amount in the
Participant's Employee Account, Matching Contribution Account and Rollover
Contribution Account between investment funds effective as of the first
administratively feasible Business Day following telephone notice to Fidelity.
Such transfers must be made in either one percent (1%) increments of the entire
Account or in a specified amount in whole dollars and, as of the completion of
the transfer, must result in investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the
Account. Transfers shall be effected by telephone notice to Fidelity.

         4.4. Ownership Status of Funds -- The Trustee shall be the owner of
record of the assets in the funds specified as Funds A, B, C, D, E, F and G and
such other funds as may be established by the Administrator. The Administrator
shall have records maintained as of the Valuation Date for each fund allocating
a portion of the fund to each Participant who has elected that his or her
Account be invested in such fund. The records shall reflect each Participant's
portion of Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds as may be established
by the Administrator, in a cash amount and shall reflect each Participant's
portion of Fund C in cash and unitized shares of stock.

         4.5. Voting Rights -- Participants whose Account has shares of
participation in the Raytheon Company Common Stock Fund on the last Business Day
of the second month preceding the record date (the "Voting Eligibility Date")
for any meeting of stockholders have the right to instruct the Trustee as to
voting at such meeting. The number of votes is determined by dividing the value
of the shares in the Participant's Account in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund by
the closing price of Raytheon Common Stock on the Voting Eligibility Date. If
the Trustee has not received instructions from a Participant as to voting of
shares within a specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote those shares. If
a Participant furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote direction card without
indicating a voting choice thereon, the Trustee shall vote Participant's shares
as recommended by management. In addition, each Participant shall have the right
to accept or reject any tender or exchange offer for shares of common stock. The
Trustee shall vote (or tender or exchange) all combined fractional shares of
Raytheon Common Stock to the extent possible in the same proportion as the
shares which have been voted (or tendered or exchanged) by each Participant. Any
instructions as to voting (or tender or exchange) received from an individual
Participant shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged
to the Companies or to any officer or employee thereof or to any other person.

ascertained by the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the three events described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above
occurred, or Participant cannot be located after reasonable efforts to do so,
then payment retroactive to said sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan
Year in which the latest of the three events occurred may be made no later than
sixty (60) days after the later of the earliest date on which the amount of such
payment under the Plan can be ascertained or the earliest date on which the

                               ARTICLE VII - LOANS

         7.1. Availability of Loans -- Participants may borrow against all or a
portion of the balance in the Participant's Employee Account, Rollover
Contribution Account and Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Account,
and the Matching Contribution Account if the Participant has a Nonforfeitable
right thereto pursuant to Section 5.2, subject to the limitations set forth in
this Article. Participants who have incurred a Severance from Service will not
be eligible for a Plan loan.

         7.2.  Minimum Amount of Loan -- No loan of less than $500 will be 
permitted.

         7.3. Maximum Amount of Loan -- No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%)
of the aggregate value of a Participant's Employee Account, Rollover
Contribution Account and Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Account,
and the Nonforfeitable portion of Participant's Matching Contribution Account
balances will be permitted. In addition, limits imposed by the Code and any
other requirements of applicable statute or regulation will be applied.

         7.4.  Effective Date of Loans -- Loans will be effective as specified 
in the Administrator's rules then in effect.

         7.5. Repayment Schedule - The Participant may select a repayment
schedule of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. If the loan is used to acquire any dwelling
which, within a reasonable time is to be used (determined at the time the loan
is made) as the principal residence of the Participant, the repayment period may
be extended up to l5 years at the election of the Participant. All repayments
will be made through payroll deductions in accordance with the loan agreement
executed at the time the loan is made, except that, in the event of the sale of
all or a portion of the business of the Employer or one of the Companies, or
other unusual circumstances, the Administrator, through uniform and equitable
rules, may establish for other means of repayment. The loan agreement will
permit repayment of the entire outstanding balance in one lump sum. The minimum
repayment amount per pay period is $10 for Participants paid weekly and $50 for
Participants paid monthly. The repayment schedule shall provide for
substantially level amortization of the loan. Repayments for Participants in a
Period of Service but on an Authorized Leave of Absence or Layoff shall be made
in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator.

         7.6.  Limit on Number of Loans -- No more than two loans may be 
outstanding at any time.

         7.7. Interest Rate -- The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this
Article will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on
the first business day in June and December of each year. The rate published on
the first business day in June will apply to loans which are effective as of any
date during the period July 1 through December 31 thereafter; the rate published
on the first business day of December will apply to loans which are effective
during the period January 1 through June 30 thereafter.

                                       11

         7.8. Effect Upon Participants Account -- Upon the granting of a loan to
a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in the Participant's Account
to the respective investment funds will be reduced on a pro rata basis and
replaced by the loan balance which will be designated as an asset in the
Account. Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the Participant's Accounts
in the following sequence, with no reduction of the succeeding Accounts until
prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan: Matching Contribution Account;
Corrective Qualified Non-Elective Contributions Account; Employee Account; and
Rollover Contribution Account. Upon repayment of the principal and interest, the
loan balance will be reduced, the Participant Accounts will be increased in the
reverse order in which they were exhausted by the loan, and the loan payments
will be allocated to the respective investment funds in accordance with the
investment election then in effect.

         7.9. Effect of Severance From Service and Non-Payment -- In the event
that a loan remains outstanding upon the Retirement, death or Severance from
Service of a Participant, payments may be made directly to Fidelity on a monthly
basis. If payments are not made in a timely manner, the amount of any unpaid
principal will be deducted from the distribution made to the Participant (or
from the Participant's Account if retained in the Plan). If, as a result of
Layoff or Authorized Leave of Absence, a Participant, although still in a Period
of Service, is not being compensated through the Employer's payroll system, loan
payments will be suspended until the earliest of the first pay date after
Participant returns to active employment, the Participant's Severance from
Service Date, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the
suspension, at which time the unpaid principal and interest will be deducted
from the Participant's Account and any remaining balance will be paid to the
Participant if the Participant incurs a Severance from Service or requests in
writing payment of such balance.

                           ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATIONS

         8.1. Maximum Permissible Amount of a Participant's Annual Addition --
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Maximum Permissible Amount
of a Participant's Annual Addition under this Plan means the lesser of $30,000
or twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's compensation for the
Limitation Year. For purposes of this Article VIII, compensation is defined as
the Participant's wages, salaries, fees for professional services, and other
amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of
employment with the Employer (including but not limited to sales commissions,
compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, tips, and
bonuses), excluding all items listed in subparagraph (2) of paragraph (d) of 26
CFR Section1.415-2. If a short Limitation Year is created because of an
amendment changing the Limitation Year to a different 12-consecutive-month
period, the Maximum Permissible Amount for the short Limitation Year will be the
lesser of (1) $30,000 (or such larger amount determined by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue or by statute) multiplied by the following fraction:

                             number of months in the
                              short Limitation Year
                               -----------------
                                     12

or (2) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's compensation for the short
Limitation Year.

         8.2. Coordination of Annual Additions -- Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, if any Annual Additions are allocated under other
qualified defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer with respect to
a Participant of this Plan, and the Participant's Elective Deferral or Matching
Contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the
Participant's Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount specified in Section
8.1, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that the Annual
Additions under all such plans for the Limitation Year will equal said Maximum
Permissible Amount. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant
under such other qualified defined contribution plans in the aggregate are equal
to or greater than the Maximum Permissible Amount, as specified in Section 8.1,
any amount contributed or allocated to the Participant's account for the
Limitation Year will be treated as an Excess Amount.

                                       12

         8.3. Coordination with Limitation on Benefit from All Plans --
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the otherwise permissible Annual Addition under
this Plan for any Participant may be further reduced to the extent necessary, as
determined by the Administrator, to prevent disqualification of the Plan under
the Code. In addition, if an individual is a Participant at any time in both a
defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer,
the sum of the defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan
fraction for any Limitation Year may not exceed 1.0. The defined benefit plan
fraction for any Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Participant's projected annual benefit under the Plan (determined at the close
of the Limitation Year) and the denominator of which is the lesser of:

                    (a) 1.25 (1.0 during any Plan Year in which the Plan has
         been determined to be top heavy) times the dollar limitation in effect
         for that Limitation Year, or

                    (b)  1.4 times the compensation limitation for that 
Limitation Year. The defined contribution plan fraction for any Limitation Year
is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the
Participant's accounts in such Limitation Year and all prior Limitation Years
and the denominator of which as of the end of a Limitation Year is the sum of
the defined contribution increments for that year and all prior LimitationYears.
For each Limitation Year, the defined contribution increment is the lesser of
1.25 (1.0 during any Plan Year in which the Plan has been determined to be top
heavy) times the dollar limitation for that year, or 1.4 times the compensation
limitation for that year. For purposes of this limitation, all defined benefit
plans of the Employer whether or not terminated, are to be treated as one
defined benefit plan and all defined contribution plans of the Employer, whether
or not terminated, are to be treated as one defined contribution plan.

                           ARTICLE IX - THE TRUST FUND

         9.1. Trust Agreement -- During the period in which this Plan remains in
existence, the Employer or any successor thereto shall maintain in effect a
Trust Agreement with a corporate trustee as Trustee, to hold, invest, and
distribute the Trust in accordance with the terms of such Trust Agreement.

         9.2. Investment of Accounts -- The Trustee shall invest and reinvest
the Participant's accounts in investment options as defined in Section 4.1 as
directed by the Administrator or its delegate in writing. The Administrator
shall issue such directions in accordance with the investment options selected
by the Participants which shall remain in force until altered in writing in
accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

         9.3.  Expenses -- Expenses of the Plan and Trust shall be paid from the
Trust.

                                       13

                     ARTICLE X - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         10.1. General Administration -- The general administration of the Plan

to construe the terms of the Plan and to make determinations as to eligibility
for benefits and as to other issues within the "Responsibilities of the
Administrator" described in Article X, Section 10.2. All such determinations of
the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. The Committee's

respect to eligibility for participation and administration of accounts,
including without limitation questions with respect to membership, vesting,
loans, withdrawals, accounting, status of accounts, stock ownership and voting
rights, and any other issue requiring interpretation or application of the Plan.

         (b)  Reference of appropriate issues to the financial, tax and legal
officers of the Company or of Raytheon Company.

         (c) Establishment of procedures required by the Plan, such as

procedure.

         (d) Submission of necessary amendments to supplement omissions from the
Plan or reconcile any inconsistency therein.

         (e)  Filing appropriate reports with the Government as required by law.

         (f)  Appointment of a Trustee or Trustees and investment managers.

         (g) Review at appropriate intervals of the performance of the Trustee

the effective administration of the Plan, such appointments to be by written
instrument.

                                       14

         10.3. Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries -- Each Fiduciary shall
be responsible only for the duties allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary, and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility
with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary unless:

         (a) The Fiduciary knowingly participates in or knowingly attempts to
conceal the act or omission of such other Fiduciary and knows that such act or
omission constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility by the other
Fiduciary;

         (b) The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary responsibility
by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable efforts under the
circumstances to remedy the breach; or

         (c) The Fiduciary's own breach of his specific fiduciary
responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach. No Fiduciary
shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his assumption of
Fiduciary status or after his termination from such status.

         10.4. Employment by Fiduciaries -- Any Fiduciary hereunder may employ,
with the written approval of the Administrator, one or more persons to render
service with regard to any responsibility which has been assigned to such
Fiduciary under the terms of the Plan including legal, tax, or investment
counsel and may delegate to one or more persons any administrative duties
(clerical or otherwise) hereunder.

         10.5. Recordkeeping -- The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept
any necessary data required for determining the account status of each
Participant. In compiling such information, the Administrator may rely upon its
employment records, including representations made by the Participant in the
employment application and subsequent documents submitted by the Participant to
the Employer. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such information when
furnished by the Administrator or its delegate. Each Employee shall be required
to furnish the Administrator upon request and in such form as prescribed by the
Administrator, such personal information, affidavits and authorizations to
obtain information as the Administrator may deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Plan, including but not limited to proof of the Employee's
date of birth and the date of birth of any person designated by a Participant as
a Beneficiary.

         10.6. Claims Review Procedure -- The Administrator shall make all
determinations as to the right of any person to Accounts under the Plan. Any
such determination by the Administrator shall be made pursuant to the following
procedure:

         Step l. Claims with respect to an Account should be filed by a claimant
as soon as practicable after claimant knows or should know that a dispute has
arisen with respect to an Account, but at least thirty (30) days prior to the
claimant's actual retirement date or, if applicable, within sixty (60) days
after the death, Disability or Severance from Service of the Participant whose
account is at issue, by mailing a copy of the claim to the Benefits and Services
Department, Raytheon Company, 141 Spring Street, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

                                       15

         Step 2. In the event that a claim with respect to an Account is wholly
or partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator shall, within ninety
(90) days following receipt of the claim, so advise the claimant in writing
setting forth: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; specific reference
to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the
claim; an explanation as to why such material or information is necessary; and
an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

         Step 3. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of the denial of a
claim with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have the denial
appealed shall file a request for review with the Administrator by mailing a
copy thereof to the address shown in Step 1.

         Step 4. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request for
review, the Administrator shall provide the claimant a further opportunity to
present his or her position. At the Administrator's discretion, such
presentation may be through an oral or written presentation. Prior to such
presentation, the claimant shall be permitted the opportunity to review
pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing. Within a
reasonable time following presentation of the claimant's position, which usually
should not exceed thirty (30) days, the Administrator shall inform the claimant
in writing of the decision on review setting forth the reasons for such decision
and citing pertinent provisions in the Plan.

         The Administrator is the fiduciary to whom the Plan grants full
discretion, with the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to determine
whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount, form and
timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter under the Plan which is
raised by a claimant or identified by the Administrator. All questions arising
from or in connection with the provisions of the Plan and its administration,
not herein provided to be determined by the Board of Directors, shall be
determined by the Administrator, and any determination so made shall be
conclusive and binding upon all persons affected thereby.

         10.7. Indemnification of Directors and Employees -- The Companies shall
indemnify by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a director, officer or
employee of the Employer, his heirs and legal representatives, against all
liability and reasonable expense, including counsel fees, amounts paid in
settlement and amounts of judgments, fines or penalties, incurred or imposed
upon him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of acts or omissions
in his capacity as a Fiduciary hereunder, provided that such act or omission is
not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Companies may
indemnify other Fiduciaries, their heirs and legal representatives, under the
circumstances, and subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding
sentence, if such indemnification is determined by the Board of Directors to be
in the best interests of the Companies.

         10.8. Immunity from Liability -- Except to the extent that the Code or
any other provision of the Laws of Puerto Rico prohibit the granting of immunity
to Fiduciaries from liability for any responsibility, obligation, or duty
imposed thereunder, an officer, employee, member of the Board of Directors of
the Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this Plan shall be
immune from any liability for any action or failure to act except such action or
failure to act which results from said officer's, Employee's, Participant's or
other person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                       16

                ARTICLE XI - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         11.1. Right to Amend or Terminate Plan -- The Company reserves the
right at any time or times, by action of its Board of Directors or authorized
officer, to terminate the contributions of itself or any of the Companies to the
Plan or to modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part as to its
Employees, in which event a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of
Directors, authorizing such modification, amendment or termination shall be
delivered to the Trustee and to the other Companies whose Employees are covered
by this Plan, provided, however, that the Plan shall not be amended in such
manner as would cause or permit any part of the corpus of the Trust to be
diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Employees or as
would cause or permit any part of such corpus to revert to any of the Companies
prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan, and provided
further that the duties or liabilities of the Trustee shall not be increased
without its written consent, and provided further that any such modification or
amendment of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the Board of Directors of
the Company.

         11.2. Change in Vesting Schedule -- No amendment to the vesting
schedule shall deprive a Participant of his or her Nonforfeitable rights to
benefits accrued to the date of the amendment.

         11.3. Maintenance of Plan -- The Company has established the Plan with
the bona fide intention and expectation that it will be able to make its
contributions indefinitely, but the Company is not and shall not be under any
obligation or liability whatsoever to continue its contributions or to maintain
the Plan for any given length of time.

         11.4. Termination of Plan and Trust -- The Plan and Trust hereby
created shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a)        Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination executed
by the Company specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall
terminate;

         (b)        Adjudication of the Company as bankrupt or general 
assignment by the Company to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution of
the Company;

         In the event of the complete termination of this Plan or the complete
discontinuance of Matching Contributions under it (but a rescission under
Section 12.2 for failure to qualify initially is not such a termination or
complete discontinuance), the rights of each Participant to the amounts then
credited to his or her Account shall be Nonforfeitable. In the event of the
partial termination of this Plan, the rights of each Employee (as to whom the
Plan is considered terminated) to the amounts then credited to his or her
Account, shall be Nonforfeitable. Whether or not there is a complete or partial
termination of this Plan shall be determined under the regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent this paragraph is
inconsistent with any provisions contained elsewhere in this Plan or in the
Trust which forms a part of this Plan, this paragraph shall govern. Upon such
termination of the Plan and Trust, after payment of all expenses and
proportional adjustment of accounts to reflect such expenses, fund losses or
profits, and reallocations to the date of termination, each Participant or
former Participant shall be entitled to receive any amounts then credited to his
or her Account in the Trust. The Trustee shall make payments in cash.

                                       17

                       ARTICLE XII - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

         12.1. Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer -- In the event of
any merger or consolidation with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any
other plan or to this Plan, each Participant of the Plan shall be entitled to a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, which is equal
to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had been
terminated).

         12.2. Necessity of Initial Qualification -- This Plan is established
with the intent that it shall qualify under Section 3165 of the Code as that
section exists at the time the Plan is established. If the Secretary of the
Treasury of Puerto Rico determines that the Plan initially fails to meet those
requirements, then within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination
all of the vested assets of the Trust held for the benefit of Participants and
their beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the contributors to the
Plan in proportion to their contributions, and the Plan shall be considered to
be rescinded and of no force or effect, unless such inadequacy is removed by a
retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code. Any non-vested Matching
Contributions and earnings attributable thereto shall be returned to the
Companies.

         12.3. Limitation of Assignment -- No account under the Plan shall be
subject in any manner to attachment, anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, or the vesting of rights in any
person by operation of law or otherwise except as provided under this Plan,
including but not limited to the Trustee or Receiver in Bankruptcy, and any
attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, encumber or charge
the same shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any way liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person
entitled to such benefit. If any Participant is adjudicated bankrupt, or
attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or
charge any benefit under the Plan, then such benefit shall, in the discretion of
the Administrator, cease and terminate and in that event the Trustee shall hold
or apply the same or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant
in such manner as the Administrator may direct.

         12.4. Limitation of Rights of Employees -- This Plan is strictly a
voluntary undertaking on the part of the Companies and shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract between any of the Companies and any Employee, or to be a
consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of the employment of any
Employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the
right to be retained in the service of any of the Companies or shall interfere
with the right of any of the Companies to discharge or otherwise terminate the
employment of any Employee of the Company at any time. No Employee shall be
entitled to any right or claim hereunder except to the extent such right is
specifically fixed under the terms of the Plan.

         12.5. Construction -- The Plan shall be construed, regulated, and
administered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

                                    PREAMBLE

        WHEREAS, effective July 1, 1973, E-Systems, Inc. organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, established the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan for its eligible Employees (hereinafter referred to as the
"Previous Plan") which was restated January 1, 1976 and January 1, 1989, and
amended thereafter from time to time; and

         WHEREAS, the Previous Plan, prior to January 1, 1995, included ESOP and
PAYSOP Accounts, the Tax-Advantaged Capital Accumulation Plan (T-CAP), Savings
and Investment Plan (S & I) accounts, after-tax employee contribution accounts
and certain HRB accounts and rollover accounts; and

         WHEREAS, the Previous Plan was amended and restated, effective January
1, 1995, into two separate plans with separate plan documents, with the ESOP and
PAYSOP Accounts continued, on a combined basis, in a restated Employee Stock
Ownership Plan, and the T-CAP, S & I, after-tax employee contribution, HRB and
rollover accounts spun off and continued in a new Employee Savings Plan;

         WHEREAS, as a result of the acquisition of E-Systems, Inc. by Raytheon
Company in May, 1995, the final ESOP contribution was made under the ESOP for
the period from January 1, 1995 through April of 1995 and the ESOP was then
merged into the Employee Savings Plan with a new annual Regular Discretionary
Employer Contribution under the Employee Savings Plan, beginning with the period
after the final ESOP contribution; and

         WHEREAS, the Corporation now desires to make certain further changes to
the Employee Savings Plan, including: (i) the adoption of full and immediate
vesting of Members in all of their accounts, (ii) providing for an investment
committee to direct the investments of certain specified contributions and
accounts for which no investment direction is given by Members and (iii) the
replacement of the Melpar Division with the new Falls Church Division as a
participating division hereunder;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Employee Savings Plan is hereby restated and
amended, superseded and replaced by this separate restated Employee Savings
Plan, effective January 1, 1995.

         There will be no termination and no gap or lapse in time or effect
between such Plans, and the existence of a qualified Plan shall be continuous
and uninterrupted.

         This restated Plan, which is a profit sharing plan, is conditioned upon
its qualification under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, with employer contributions
being deductible under Section 404 of said Code or any other applicable sections
thereof, as amended from time to time.

         The terms and conditions of this restated Plan are as follows:

                                       2

                                   ARTICLE II

                             Purpose and Definitions

         2.1 Purpose: The purpose of this Plan is to encourage Employees to save
and invest, systematically, a portion of their current Compensation in order
that they may have a source of additional income upon their Retirement or
Disability, or for their family in the event of death. The benefits provided by
this Plan will be paid from the Trust Fund and will be in addition to the
benefits Employees are entitled to receive under any other programs of the
Employer.

         This Plan and the separate related Trust forming a part hereof are
established and shall be maintained for the exclusive benefit of the eligible
Employees of the Employer and their Beneficiaries. No part of the Trust Fund can
ever revert to the Employer or be used for or diverted to any other purpose
other than for the exclusive benefit of the Employees of the Employer and their
Beneficiaries, except as provided in Section 18.4 hereof.

         2.2 Definitions: Where the following words and phrases appear in this
Plan, they shall have the respective meanings set forth below, unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise:

         (a) Affiliated Employer: Any business entity (including an Employer
hereunder) that, together with an Employer hereunder, constitutes a controlled
group of corporations, a group of trades or businesses under common control, or
an affiliated service group, all as defined in Code Section 414 (subject,
however, to the provisions of Code Section 415(h) when applying the benefit
limitations of Code Section 415).

         (b)      Allocation Date:  The date as of which contributions are
                  allocated hereunder, which shall be

         (1)      as soon as practicable after the end of each payroll period as
                  to Salary Deferral, after-tax Employee and Matching Employer
                  Contributions,

         (2)      as soon as practicable after receipt hereunder as to Rollover
                  Contributions,

         (3)      the last day of December as to Discretionary Employer
                  Contributions.

         The Committee may use other Allocation Dates if it so desires, but must
have at least one Allocation Date per year for each type of contribution.

         (c) Beneficiary: A person designated by a Member to receive benefits
hereunder upon the death of such Member.

                                       3

         (d) Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to
time.

         (e) Committee: The persons appointed to administer the Plan in
accordance with Article XIII hereof, but who will have no responsibility as to
the management and investment of Plan assets.

         (f) Compensation: As to any payroll period, for purposes of determining
Salary Deferral or Employee Contributions, the base rate of pay of an Employee
applicable for such period, regardless of whether actually paid (including any
base rate of pay amount that is deducted from such Employee's pay for such
period under Code Section 125 or 401(k)).

         As to any Plan Year, for purpose of determining Discretionary Employer
Contributions, the lesser of:

         (i)      the cumulative annual base rate of pay applicable to an
                  Employee for such year regardless of whether actually paid
                  (including any base rate of pay amount that is deducted from
                  such Employee's pay for such year under Code Section 125 or
                  401(k)) or,

         (ii)     the sum of the taxable remuneration (as reported on Form W-2
                  or its equivalent) paid to an Employee by the Employer for
                  personal services, plus any pre-tax employee contribution made
                  by the Employee under any Employer plan in accordance with
                  Code Section 125 or 401(k).

         Base rate of pay is an Employee's basic rate of remuneration for
personal services, excluding such items as shift differential, quarterly wage
adjustments, commissions, unused sick pay, severance pay, allowances, awards,
lump sum payments, per diem payments and imputed income.

         Compensation will be determined by excluding any amount in excess of
the dollar limit allowed under Code Section 401(a)(17)). If during a year any
Employee ("family member") is the spouse or lineal descendant, below age 19, of
another Employee ("HCE") who either is a five percent (5%) owner (as defined in
Code Section 416(i) or is a highly compensated employee (as defined in Code
Section 414(q) in the group consisting of the ten (10) such highly compensated
employees with the greatest compensation during such year, then, for purposes of
the above dollar limitation, such "family member's" compensation for such year
will be aggregated with such "HCE's" compensation for such year. The dollar
limit applicable to each such Employee's compensation for such year will be the
dollar limit applicable for such year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is such Employee's unlimited compensation for such year and the
denominator of which is the sum of the unlimited compensation for such year for
all Employees with whom such Employee is a family member, as defined above.

         (3)      Such deferral cannot exceed the dollar limit in Section 10.1

which the Member ceased to be eligible for such contribution hereunder and was
still so employed at the end of such year) will be credited with the allocable
share of such contribution. The amount to be allocated from any such
contribution to the applicable account of each eligible Member shall be in the
proportion that each eligible Member's Compensation (while he was a Member in a
job classification eligible for such contribution hereunder) for the Plan Year
bears to the total Compensation of all such eligible Members (while they were
such Members) for the Plan Year. However, the 1995 Plan Year allocation of

Compensation for such year which is in excess of the Members' Compensation used
in determining the final 1995 contribution allocation under the prior Employee
Stock Ownership Plan. The above provisions of this paragraph shall be applied

Optional Discretionary Employer Contribution applicable to such class of
Employees under Section 4.1a. hereof.

losses shall be determined and allocated by its fund manager as of each
Valuation Date.

         5.4      Investment Options:

         a. Investment Alternatives: The Plan permits a Member or Beneficiary to
exercise control over the assets in his accounts. The Member's or Beneficiary's
exercise of control is intended to bring the Plan within the rule of section
404(c) of ERISA. The Member or Beneficiary may invest the assets in his accounts
in one or more of the available investment alternatives set by the Investment
Committee from time to time pursuant to section 13.9, one of which shall be the
Raytheon Common Stock Fund (as described in c. below).

                                       12

         b. Investment Directions: Investment directions may be given in writing
or orally, pursuant to a procedure set by the Investment Committee. A Member or
Beneficiary who gives oral investment directions shall be provided with an
opportunity to obtain written confirmation of these directions. The Investment
Committee may impose reasonable restrictions on the frequency with which
investment directions may be given with regard to a specific investment
alternative; provided, however, that such restrictions must not prevent the Plan
from complying with section 404(c) of ERISA.

         Upon initial participation in the Plan, a Member shall complete an
investment direction for any contributions made on his behalf. Matching Employer
Contributions, Regular Discretionary Employer Contributions, if any, and
Optional Discretionary Contributions, if any, made on behalf of the Member will
be invested in accordance with the direction provided with regard to Salary
Deferral Contributions, unless other investment directions are provided. A
Member or Beneficiary may transfer assets in his accounts between investment
alternatives in accordance with procedures established under the Plan.

         The Investment Committee shall be the fiduciary responsible for
receiving all investment directions. The Investment Committee may delegate the
responsibility for receiving these directions to another fiduciary. The
Investment Committee, or the fiduciary designated thereby, must follow any
investment direction given by a Member or Beneficiary; provided, however, that
the Investment Committee or its delegate, shall not follow any investment
direction that:

                  (1)      would generate taxable income to the Plan;

                  (2) would not be in accordance with the documents and
         instruments governing the Plan insofar as such documents and
         instruments are consistent with the provisions of Title I of ERISA;

                  (3) would cause the fiduciary to maintain the indicia of
         ownership of any assets of the Plan outside the jurisdiction of the
         district courts of the United States, other than as permitted by
         section 404(b) of ERISA and DOL Reg. Section 2550.404b-1;

                  (4) would jeopardize the Plan's tax qualified status under the
         Code;

                  (5 could result in a loss in excess of a Member's or
         Beneficiary's account balance;  or

                  (6) would result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406
         of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to a
         direct or indirect

                                    but only if such partnership is an existing
                                    partnership as defined in section
                                    10211(c)(2)(A) of the Revenue Act of 1987;

                                    frequency and in sufficient volume to assure
                                    that Member and Beneficiary directions to
                                    buy or sell the security may be acted upon
                                    promptly and efficiently;

                           (v)      information provided to shareholders of such
                                    securities is provided to Members and
                                    Beneficiaries with accounts holding such
                                    securities;

                           (vi)     voting, tender, and similar rights with

time and in the manner provided in Article XI hereof.

         7.3 No Beneficiary: If a Member or former Member dies without a
Beneficiary surviving him, or if all his Beneficiaries die before receiving the
payment to which they are entitled, then the amount, if any, remaining in such
Member's Individual Account shall be paid to the following, with priority as
follows:

         a.       the Member's surviving spouse; or if none, to

         b.       the Member's surviving children over age eighteen, and
                  surviving children under age eighteen with a properly
                  designated guardian, or if none, to

         c.       the Member's estate.

         A certified copy of a death certificate shall be sufficient evidence of
death and the Committee shall be fully protected in relying thereon. The
Committee may accept other evidence of death at its own discretion.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                      Death

         7.1 Designation Of Beneficiary: Each Member and former Member may, from
time to time, designate one (1) or more primary Beneficiaries and contingent
Beneficiaries to receive benefits payable hereunder in the event of the death of
such Member or former Member. No Beneficiary designation by a married Employee
of someone other than his spouse as a primary Beneficiary shall be effective
unless the Employee's spouse (if his spouse can be located) consents in writing
to such designation, acknowledges the effect of such designation and has such
consent and acknowledgment witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary
public. Such designation shall be made in writing upon a form provided by the
Committee and shall be filed with the Committee. The last such designation filed
with the Committee shall control. A beneficiary designation filed with the
Committee shall continue in effect following a Member's divorce (unless duly
changed by the Member), except that the designation shall be applied as if the
Member's former spouse had predeceased the Member.

         7.2 Benefit: Upon the death of an Employee who is a Member, his
designated Beneficiary, or Beneficiaries, shall be fully vested with respect to
the balance of his Individual Accounts hereunder. Payments shall be made at the
time and in the manner provided in Article XI hereof.

         7.3 No Beneficiary: If a Member or former Member dies without a
Beneficiary surviving him, or if all his Beneficiaries die before receiving the
payment to which they are entitled, then the amount, if any, remaining in such
Member's Individual Account shall be paid to the following, with priority as
follows:

                                       16

         a.       the Member's surviving spouse; or if none, to

         b.       the Member's surviving children over age eighteen, and
                  surviving children under age eighteen with a properly
                  designated guardian, or if none, to

         c.       the Member's estate.

         A certified copy of a death certificate shall be sufficient evidence of
death and the Committee shall be fully protected in relying thereon. The
Committee may accept other evidence of death at its own discretion.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              Withdrawals and Loans

         8.1 Withdrawals: In accordance with Committee guidelines, each Member
may, while in the employment of the Employer, withdraw amounts (not outstanding
as a loan under Section 8.2) from this Plan, other than from his Matching
Employer Contribution Account and Discretionary Employer Contribution Account.
Any amount to be so withdrawn will be withdrawn from such available accounts (or
portions thereof) in the order established by the Committee for this purpose,
subject to the restrictions as to financial need described below, as applicable.

         Any request for a withdrawal to be made from a Member's Salary Deferral
Account or Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account before the Member has
attained fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2) years of age must be for hardship
reasons and for this purpose must show that (i) the Member has an immediate and
heavy financial need, and (ii) the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy such need.

The following rules apply:

         (1)      Immediate And Heavy Financial Need: An immediate heavy
                  financial need shall be deemed to exist with respect to a
                  Member only if the withdrawal request is on account of any of
                  the following:

                  (A)      Expenses for medical care described in Code Section
                           213(d) incurred by the Member, the Member's spouse,
                           or any dependents of the Member (as defined in Code
                           Section 152), including expenses necessary for any
                           such person to obtain such medical care.

                  (B)      Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding
                           mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the
                           Member.

                  (C)      Payment of tuition and related educational fees,
                           including room and board expenses, for not more than
                           the next twelve months of post-secondary education
                           for the Member, his spouse, children, or dependents.

                                       17

                  (D)      The need to prevent the eviction of the Member from
                           his principal residence or foreclosure on the
                           mortgage on the Member's principal residence.

                  (E) To pay taxes on any such withdrawal.

         (2)      Necessity Of Withdrawal To Satisfy Immediate And Heavy
                  Financial Need: A hardship withdrawal request shall be deemed
                  to be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial
                  need only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

                  (A)      The amount of the withdrawal request is not in excess
                           of the immediate and heavy financial need of the
                           Member (including any reasonably anticipated taxes on
                           such withdrawal).

                  (B)      The Member has obtained all nonhardship distributions
                           and all nontaxable loans currently available from all
                           plans maintained by the Employer or Affiliated
                           Employers. However, a hardship withdrawal from a
                           Member's Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account is
                           not available hereunder unless the Member has first
                           made whatever hardship withdrawal is available from
                           the Member's Salary Deferral Account.

                  (C)      The Member's right to make elective contributions to
                           this Plan and all other plans (including nonqualified
                           deferred compensation plans) maintained by the
                           Employer or Affiliated Employers is (and shall be)
                           suspended for twelve (12) months after receipt of the
                           hardship distribution. In the event more than one (1)
                           distribution is made hereunder within a twelve (12)
                           month period, the suspension period shall not be
                           tacked to the remaining portion of the prior
                           suspension period but rather shall start anew.

                  (D)      The Member's right to make Salary Deferral
                           Contributions to this Plan and all other plans
                           maintained by the Employer or Affiliated Employers in
                           the taxable year following the taxable year of the
                           hardship distribution is (and shall be) limited to an
                           amount equal to the applicable limit under Code
                           Section 402(g) reduced by the Member's Salary
                           Deferral Contributions in the taxable year of the
                           hardship distribution. The term "taxable year" as
                           used hereunder means the Member's taxable year.

         8.2 Loans To Members: Loans to Members who are "parties-in-interest"
(as described in ERISA Section 3(14)) shall be permitted only at the sole
discretion of the Committee and shall only be granted in accordance with the
following provisions, applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner:

                                       18

         a. Loan Status: Each such Member's loan shall be an investment of such
Member's Individual Account and the interest and principal paid on such loan
shall be credited only to such Member's Individual Account. While such
investment exists, the portion of the Member's Individual Account invested in
such loan shall be disregarded when other Trust gains or losses are allocated
among Individual Accounts hereunder.

         b. Loan Application: Any Member's application for a loan shall be in
such form, and shall contain such information as required by the Committee and
will require the payment of a reasonable loan processing fee, as determined by
the Committee. Such fee may include an application fee, as well as a continuing
periodic fee assessed during the life of the loan.

         c. Loan Restrictions: The Committee shall establish loan guidelines.
Loans will be available only to Members whose repayment can be made through
payroll deduction by the Employer. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
determine that no loans will be granted to any Members or may at any time cease
granting any further loans. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine
that loans to Members will be granted only for certain designated reasons or
only up to certain designated amounts or only for certain minimum amounts or
only from certain of Members' accounts or investment funds. Only one outstanding
loan per Member will be allowed and in no event will any loan to a Member
hereunder, exceed the lesser of:

         (1)      Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), reduced by the highest
                  outstanding balance of loan(s) from the Plan to such Member
                  during the one (1) year period ending on the day before the
                  date on which such loan was made.

         (2) One-half ((OMEGA)) of the Member's interest in the plan.

         d. Accounts As Collateral: The account from which the loan is being
made shall, to the extent of the Amount borrowed, serve as collateral regardless
of any other security pledged in conjunction with such loan.

         e. Rate Of Interest: Interest on Member loans shall be charged at a
reasonable and fair rate based on the then prevailing rates charged by reputable
financial institutions.

         f. Repayment - Collection: Any such loan or loans shall be repaid by
the Member within such time and in such manner as the Committee shall determine,
but in any event within five (5) years (except as to loans used to acquire any
dwelling which is, or within a reasonable time will become, the Member's
principal residence); provided, however, substantially level amortization of
such loan (with payments not less frequently than quarterly), shall be required
over the term of the loan. The loan repayments will be invested hereunder in a
manner consistent with the account from which the loan was made or consistent
with any contribution to such account. In the event that the Member does not
repay such loan within the time or manner prescribed, the Committee may deduct
the total amount of such loan or any portion thereof from any payment or
distribution from the Trust Fund to which such Member or his Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries may be entitled. In the event that the amount of any such payment
or distribution is not sufficient to repay the remaining balance of any such
loan, such Member shall be liable for and continue to make payments on any
balance still due from him.

                                       19

         g.       Spousal Consent:  Any such loan shall be subject to spousal
 consent within ninety (90) days

prior to the date the loan is made.

         8.3 Transfer of Salary Deferral (T-CAP Account) to Serv-Air, Inc.
Savings and Retirement Plan: Any Member who is an Employee of Serv-Air, Inc. and
who ceased to be in Covered Employment under the Previous Plan due to the change
in the definition of Covered Employment (as a result of Amendment No. One to the
previous Employee Stock Ownership Plan effective January 1, 1993) shall be
entitled to instruct the Committee to transfer the balance of his Salary
Deferral Account in this Plan to a salary deferral account established in his
name in the Serv-Air, Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                       Account Distributions And Transfers

         9.1 Notice To Trustee: As soon as practicable after a person becomes
entitled to a distribution hereunder and after he has filed with the Committee a
proper written request for payment the Committee shall give written notice to
the Trustee, which notice shall include such of the following information and
directions as are necessary or advisable under the circumstances:

         a.       Name of the Member.

         b. Reason for the distribution.

         c. Name and address of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in case of a
         Member's death.

         d. Time, manner and amount of payments to be made pursuant to Section
         9.2 hereof.

         9.2 Method Of Payment: The Committee shall (subject to Section 9.5)
direct that benefits be paid to the Member or his Beneficiary in the following
ways:

         a.  Lump Sum:  Subject to b. below, all accounts shall be paid as
a lump sum in cash, except that whole shares of Employer Stock will be paid in
kind.

         b. Insured Annuity: The Regular Employee Contribution, Voluntary
Savings, and Savings and Investment Accounts may be applied to purchase an
insured annuity, (subject to insurance company requirements).

         9.3 Time and Rate of Payment: After termination of employment a Member
shall be given an option to elect either (i) immediate distribution or (ii) a
deferred distribution if the Member has not yet reached age 70(OMEGA). If he
elects immediate distribution, payment shall be made as soon as practicable but
no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Plan Year in
which his employment ended. If he elects a deferred distribution, payment shall
be made no later than the required beginning date after attainment of his age
70(OMEGA) under Section 9.4 hereof.

                                       20

         In no event will any distribution be on a period certain annuity basis
over a period greater than the joint life expectancy of the Member and his
Beneficiary.

         If a Member dies after receiving partial distribution under an annuity,
the balance will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the
method applicable to the Member at his death.

         If a Member dies before his distribution commences, the balance of his
Individual Account will be distributed to his Beneficiary as soon as practicable
but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Plan Year
in which the Member's death occurs, except Beneficiaries as to Member deaths
prior to April 1, 1995 may defer payment, but if the Beneficiary is not the
deceased Member's spouse, such deferral cannot exceed five years.

         9.4 Age 70(OMEGA) Restrictions: In no event shall distribution of a
Member's Individual Accounts be delayed beyond April 1st of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which such Member attains age seventy and
one-half (70(OMEGA)), except that on and after January 1, 1997, such payment
will be required only if the Member's employment with all Affiliated Employers
is terminated or the Member is a 5 percent (5%) owner (as defined in Code
Section 416).

         In any calendar year when a distribution must be made to a Member whose
employment has not terminated, in accordance with the above provisions of this
section, such distribution shall be made as soon as practicable after the
beginning of such year (but not later than April 1st) and will consist of the
prior December 31st balance in such Member's Individual Accounts. However, on
and after January 1, 1996, if the Member is still employed by an Affiliated
Employer on the date when the Member's initial post age 70(OMEGA) distribution
is to be made, only the minimum required distribution under Code Section
401(a)(9) will be made, unless the Member duly elects a complete distribution.
Any additional amount subsequently credited to such a Member's Individual
Accounts will likewise be distributed as soon as practicable after the end of
the calendar year when so credited, except that on and after January 1, 1996, if
the Member is still so employed by an Affiliated Employer, only the minimum
required distribution under Code Section 401(a)(9) will be made, unless the
Member has duly elected a complete distribution.

         9.5 Member May Elect Form Of Payment: In determining which method
permitted in Section 9.2 hereof shall be applicable to a Member, the Committee
shall follow the Member's election.

         9.6 Minority Or Disability Payments: During the minority or
incompetency of any person entitled to receive benefits hereunder, the Committee
may direct the Trustee to make payments or distributions to the guardian of such
person, or other persons as may be directed by the Committee. Neither the
Committee nor the Trustee shall be required to see to the application of any
payments so made, and the receipt of the payee (including the endorsement of a
check or checks) shall be conclusive as to all interested parties.

                                       21

         9.7 Qualified Joint And Survivor Annuity Requirements: Notwithstanding
anything above to the contrary, any Member who is married on the date his
benefit is to commence, whose Individual Accounts are in excess of Three
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), and who elects a form of life annuity,
shall be paid such annuity in the form of a monthly Qualified Joint and Fifty
Percent (50%) Survivor Annuity, unless an election to the contrary is in effect
in accordance with the subsequent provisions of this Section. Under this form,
the balance of his applicable Individual Account or Accounts (for which a
Qualified Joint and Fifty Percent (50%) Survivor Annuity is available) shall be
used to purchase a monthly annuity from an insurance company with a monthly
amount paid to the Member for his lifetime, and the spouse (to whom the Member
was married when his benefit commenced), if surviving at the Member's death,
shall receive thereafter for life a monthly benefit of fifty percent (50%) of
the monthly amount paid to the Member. The last payment shall be made as of the
first day of the month in which occurs the death of the last surviving of the
Member and his spouse.

         Within a reasonable time before the Member's benefit commencement date,
the Committee shall provide to the Member who elects a life annuity a written
explanation of the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Fifty Percent
(50%) Survivor Annuity described herein and the effect of refusing it. If the
Member wishes to elect a form of life annuity other than the Qualified Joint and
Fifty Percent (50%) Survivor Annuity, such election will not become effective
unless his spouse (if he has a spouse who can be located) consents in writing to
such election, acknowledges the effect of such election and has such consent and
acknowledgment witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. A properly
completed benefit election form (furnished by the Committee) shall be returned
to the Committee within the ninety (90) days prior to Member's benefit
commencement date. If the Member files another election form after the earlier
form and prior to his benefit commencement date, the earlier form shall be
deemed annulled; provided, however, that unless the spouse duly revokes the
right of consent as to such changes in election, the spouse's consent is
required in the manner described above.

         9.8 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders: Distribution to an alternate
payee under any "qualified domestic relations order" (as defined in Code Section
414(p)) may be made as soon as practicable after receipt of such order by the
Committee hereunder unless such order duly requires later payment. However,
nothing contained in a qualified domestic relations order shall have the effect
of accelerating any vesting of benefits under this Plan.

         9.9 Direct Rollovers: This Section applies to distributions, including
in-service withdrawals. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee's distribution election, a
distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the
Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid
directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct
rollover. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply:

                                       22

         a. Eligible Rollover Distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is
any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the
distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any
distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
(not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of
the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified
period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is
required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code; the portion of any distribution
that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the
exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities);
and any distribution under $200 that would otherwise be eligible for direct
rollover, if such distribution includes the reissuance of a check originally
issued prior to January 1, 1996 from a fund not maintained by The Vanguard
Group.

         b. Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code, an
annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust
described in section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible
rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution
to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement
account or individual retirement annuity.

         c. Distributee: A distributee includes an employee or former employee.
In addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse and the
employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate
payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section 414(p)
of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or
former spouse.

         d. Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

         9.10 Transfers to Another Plan: If the employment of an Employee
covered under this Plan is transferred to another job classification not covered
by this Plan but covered by another plan of an Affiliated Employer, then the
Employee's Individual Accounts hereunder may be transferred to such other plan
if such other plan provides for receipt of such accounts thereunder.

                                    ARTICLE X

                Code Sections 402(g), 401(k) and (m) Limitations

         10.1 Dollar Limit: If a Member's Salary Deferral Contributions
hereunder should exceed the dollar limit under Code Section 402(g) (subject to
the cost-of-living adjustment set forth in Code Section 402(g)(5)), in any
taxable year of the Member, the excess (adjusted for earnings or losses thereon)
shall be distributed to the Member. If the Member also participates in another
elective deferral program (within the meaning of Code Section 402(g)(3)) and if,
when aggregating his elective deferrals under all such programs, an excess of
deferral contributions arises under the dollar limitation in Code Section 402(g)
with respect to such Member, the Member shall, no later than March 1st following
the close of the Member's taxable year, notify the Committee as to the portion
of such excess deferrals to be allocated to this Plan and such excess so
allocated to this Plan (adjusted for earnings or losses thereon) shall be
distributed to the Member after reduction by any excess contribution already
distributed for such year under Section 10.2b hereof. Any distribution under
this Section shall be made to the Member no later than the April 15th
immediately following the close of the Member's taxable year for which such
contributions were made.

                                       23

         10.2     Deferral And Contribution Percentage Tests:

         a. Highly Compensated Employee: For purposes of this Section, after
1986, the term Highly Compensated Employee shall mean any Employee who, during
the Plan Year of determination or the immediately preceding Plan Year:

         (i)      was at any time during such year(s) a five percent (5%) owner
 (as defined in Code Section 416(i)(1));

         (ii) received compensation (as defined below) from the Affiliated
Employers in excess of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000);

         (iii)    received compensation (as defined below) from the Affiliated
                  Employers in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and
                  was in the top twenty percent (20%) of the Employees of all
                  Affiliated Employers (when ranked on the basis of compensation
                  paid during such year); excluding, however, for purposes of
                  determining the top twenty percent (20%):

                  (A)      Employees who have not completed at least six (6)
                            months of service;

                  (B)      Employees who normally work less than seventeen and
                           one-half (17(OMEGA)) hours per week;

                  (C)      Employees who normally work not more than six (6)
                           months during any Plan Year;

                  (D)      Employees who have not attained age twenty-one (21);

                  (E)      Employees covered under a collective bargaining
                           agreement (to the extent permitted in appropriate
                           regulations); and

                  (F)      Employees who are nonresident aliens and who receive
                           no earned income (as defined in Code Section
                           911(d)(2) which constitutes income from sources
                           within the United States (within the meaning of Code
                           Section 861(a)(3)); or

         (iv)     was at any time an officer and received compensation (as
                  defined below) greater than fifty percent (50%) of the dollar
                  limitation in effect under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) for such
                  Plan Year; provided that, for purposes of this subparagraph
                  (iv):

                  (A)      no more than fifty (50) Employees (or if lesser, the
                           greater of three (3) Employees or ten percent (10%)
                           of the Employees) of the Affiliated Employers shall
                           be considered as officers, and

                                       24
                           
                  (B)      if in such Plan Year, no officer satisfied the
                           requirements set forth in this subparagraph (iv)
                           above, the highest paid officer of the Affiliated
                           Employers during such Plan Year shall be considered
                           an officer.

         (1) For purposes of this Section, the term "compensation" shall have
the same meaning as in Code Section 415(c)(3), without regard to Code Sections
125, 402(a)(8), 402(h)(1)(B), and 403(b) in the case of contributions made by an
Affiliated Employer under a salary reduction agreement. Thus "compensation"
includes taxable income reported on form W-2 (or its equivalent) plus salary
reduction amounts under said Code Sections.

         (2) For purposes of determining whether an Employee is highly
compensated in the Plan Year for which the determination is being made, any
Employee not described in subparagraphs (ii), (iii), or (iv) above for the
preceding year (disregarding this paragraph (2)), shall not be treated as
described in subparagraphs (ii), (iii), or (iv) above unless such Employee is a
member of the group consisting of the one hundred (100) Employees of the
Employer who were paid the highest compensation during the Plan Year for which
such determination is being made. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence nor the
first sentence in paragraph (a) above in this Section, if the Employer so
elects, the determination described in said paragraph (a) above will be made
only for the Plan Year of determination if such Plan Year is a calendar year and
no such determination will be made for the immediately preceding Plan Year, in
which event the preceding sentence in this such paragraph (2) will not apply;
provided, however, the Employer may only make such election if the same election
is made as to all plans, entities and arrangements of the Employer with respect
to which a determination of Highly Compensated Employees is necessary.

         (3) For purposes of this Section, if any individual is a member of the
family (spouse, and lineal ascendants or descendants and the spouses of such
lineal ascendants or descendants) of a five-percent (5%) owner or of a Highly
Compensated Employee in the group consisting of the ten (10) highly compensated
Employees paid the greatest compensation during such Plan Year, then the
following provisions shall be applicable:

         (A)    such family member shall not be considered a separate Employee,

         (B)    any compensation paid to such family member (as well as any
                applicable contribution (or benefit) paid to or on behalf of
                such person) shall be treated as if it were paid to (or on
                behalf of) said five-percent (5%) owner or Highly Compensated
                Employee, and

         (C)      any excess as to such aggregated family members under the
                  following provisions of this Section shall be allocated among
                  such family members on the basis of their respective
                  contributions combined for purposes of determining such
                  excess.


                                       25
               
         (4) For purposes of this Section, former Employees shall be treated as
Highly Compensated Employees, if:

         (A) such an Employee was a highly compensated Employee upon termination
of employment with the Affiliated Employers; or

         (B)      such an Employee was a highly compensated Employee at any time
                  after attaining age fifty-five (55).

         However, former Employees are disregarded when determining the top
twenty-percent (20%), the top one-hundred (100) or the includible officers group
above.

         b.       Deferral Percentage Test:  Each Plan Year the Committee shall
determine:

         (i)      The "deferral percentage" for each Employee who is then
                  eligible for salary deferrals, which shall be the ratio of the
                  amount of such Employee's salary deferral for such Plan year
                  to the Employee's compensation (as defined in a.(1) above,
                  subject to the dollar limitation set forth in Section 2.2(f)
                  hereof), for such Plan Year.

         (ii)     The "highly compensated deferral percentage", which shall be
                  the average of the "deferral percentages" for all Highly
                  Compensated Employees then eligible for salary deferrals.

         (iii)    The "nonhighly compensated deferral percentage", which shall
                  be the average of the "deferral percentages" for all Employees
                  then eligible for salary deferrals who were not included in
                  the "highly compensated deferral percentage" in (2) above.

         In no event shall the "highly compensated deferral percentage" exceed
the greater of:

                  (A) a deferral percentage equal to one and one-fourth (1 1/4)
times the "nonhighly compensated deferral percentage"; and

                  (B)      a deferral percentage equal to two (2) times the
                           "nonhighly compensated deferral percentage" but not
                           more than two (2) percentage points greater than the
                           "nonhighly compensated deferral percentage".

         If the above deferral percentage test would otherwise be violated as of
the end of the Plan Year, then notwithstanding any other provision hereof, every
contribution included in the "highly compensated deferral percentage" for a
Member whose deferral percentage is greater than the permitted maximum shall
automatically be revoked to the extent necessary to comply with such deferral
percentage test and the amount of such contribution, to the extent revoked,
shall constitute an "excess contribution" to be distributed to such Member
(adjusted for earnings and losses thereon) within two and one-half (2(OMEGA))
months following the close of the Plan Year for which such contribution was
made. Such excess shall first be reduced by any excess deferral for such Plan

                                       26

Year already distributed to the Member under Section 10.1 hereof. To determine
the amount of the excess contribution and the Members to whom the excess
contributions are to be distributed, the Salary Deferral Contributions of Highly
Compensated Employees shall be reduced in order of the deferral percentages
beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest of the deferral
percentages. The actual deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee
with the highest actual deferral percentage is reduced by the amount required to
cause the Employee's actual deferral percentage to equal the percentage of the
Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest actual deferral percentage. If
a lesser reduction would satisfy the actual deferral percentage test, only this
lesser reduction shall be made. This process will be repeated until the
deferrals satisfy the actual deferral percentage test. The highest actual
deferral percentage remaining under the Plan after completion of the above
leveling procedure is the highest permitted actual deferral percentage. In no
case may the amount of excess contributions to be distributed for a Plan Year
with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee exceed the amount of Salary
Deferral Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the
Plan Year.

         If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more plans
maintained by the Employer or Affiliated Employer, that are subject to the
deferral percentage test, then such Employee's deferral percentage shall be
determined by aggregating his participation in all such plans.

         c. Contribution Percentage Test: Each Plan Year the Committee shall
(subject to e. below) determine:

         (i)      The "contribution percentage" for each Employee who is then
                  eligible to receive Matching Employer Contributions, which
                  shall be the ratio of the amount of such Employee's Matching
                  Employer Contribution to the Employee's compensation (as
                  defined in a.(1) above, subject to the dollar limitation set
                  forth in Section 2.2(f) hereof), for such Plan Year.

         (ii)     The "highly compensated contribution percentage", which shall
                  be the average of the "contribution percentages" for all
                  eligible Highly Compensated Employees.

         (iii)    The "nonhighly compensated contribution percentage", which
                  shall be the average of the "contribution percentages" for all
                  Employees then eligible who were not included in the "highly
                  compensated contributions percentage" in (2) above.

         In no event shall the "highly compensated contribution percentage"
exceed the greater of:

                  (A) a contribution percentage equal to one and one-fourth
 (1-1/4) times the "nonhighly compensated contribution percentage"; and

                  (B)      a contribution percentage equal to two (2) times the
                           "nonhighly compensated contribution percentage" but
                           not more than two (2) percentage points greater than
                           the "nonhighly compensated contribution percentage".

                                       27

         If the above contribution percentage test would otherwise be violated
as of the end of the Plan Year, then notwithstanding any other provision hereof
every contribution included in the "highly compensated contribution percentage"
for a Member whose contribution percentage is greater than the permitted maximum
shall automatically be revoked to the extent necessary to comply with such
contribution percentages test and the amount of such contribution, to the extent
revoked, shall constitute an "aggregate excess contribution" to be distributed
to such Member (adjusted for earnings or losses thereon) or forfeited, if
applicable, within two and one-half (2(OMEGA)) months following the close of the
Plan Year for which such contribution was made. To determine the amount of
aggregate excess contributions and the Members to whom the aggregate excess
contributions are to be distributed, the applicable contributions of Highly
Compensated Employees are reduced in the order of their contribution percentage
beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest contribution
percentage. The actual contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest actual contribution percentage is reduced by the
amount required to cause the Employee's actual contribution percentage to equal
the percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest actual
contribution percentage. If a lesser reduction would satisfy the actual
contribution percentage test, only this lesser reduction shall be made. This
process will be repeated until the Plan satisfies the actual contribution
percentage test. The highest actual contribution percentage remaining under the
Plan after completion of the above leveling procedure is the highest permitted
actual contribution percentage. In no case may the amount of excess aggregate
contributions with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee exceed the amount
of Employee and Matching Employer Contributions made on behalf of the Highly
Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

         If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two (2) or more plans
maintained by the Employer or Affiliated Employer that are subject to the
contribution percentage test, then such Employee's contribution percentage shall
be determined by aggregating his participation in all such plans. In addition,
if the Employer maintains two (2) or more plans subject to the contribution
percentage test and such plans are treated as a single plan for purposes of the
coverage requirements for qualified plans under Code Section 410(b), then such
plans are treated as a single plan for purposes of the contribution percentage
test.

         d.       No Multiple Use of Alternative Limitation:  As to Members
subject to both of the limits in b. and c. above, additional reductions of the
otherwise applicable limits shall be made as necessary to prevent multiple use
of the alternative limitation (i.e., the  two times or two percentage point
limitation) in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.401(M)-2.

         e. Collective Bargaining Employees: Any collective bargaining unit
Employees hereunder shall be disregarded when the above deferral and
contribution percentage tests are applied to nonbargaining Employees. Each
collective bargaining unit with Employees who are eligible to make salary
deferral elections hereunder shall be separately subject to the deferral
percentage test, or, if there is more than one collective bargaining unit with
Employees eligible to make salary deferrals hereunder, such bargaining units may
be aggregated in groups of two or more and each group shall be separately
subject to the deferral percentage test, as determined each year by the
Committee. The above contribution percentage test is deemed to be automatically
met by any collective bargaining unit Employees otherwise subject to such test.

                                       28

                                   ARTICLE XI

                             Code Section 415 Limits

         11.1 Limit On Annual Additions Under Code Section 415: Contributions
hereunder shall be subject to the limitations of Code Section 415, as provided
in this Section.

         a.       Definitions:  For purposes of this Section the following
definitions shall apply:

         (1) "Annual Addition" shall mean the sum of the following additions to
a Member's Individual Account for the Limitation Year:

                  (a)      Employer contributions (including salary reduction
contributions);

                  (b)      His own (after-tax) contributions, if any;

                  (c)      Forfeitures, if any.

                  Annual Additions to other Employer defined contribution plans
         (also taken into account when applying the limitations described below)
         shall include any voluntary employee contributions to an account in a
         defined benefit plan and any employer contributions to an individual
         retirement account or annuity under Code Section 408 or to a medical
         account for a key employee under Code Section 401(h) or 419A(d), except
         that the 25%-of-pay limit below shall not apply to employer
         contributions to a key employee's medical account after his separation
         from service.

         (2)      "Earnings" for any Limitation Year shall be the Employee's
                  compensation received for personal services actually rendered
                  in the course of employment with the Employer and reported as
                  taxable income on Form W-2 (or subsequent equivalent).

         b. Defined Contribution Plan(s) Only: The Annual Addition to a Member's
Individual Account hereunder (together with the Annual Additions to the Member's
account(s) under any other qualified defined contribution plan(s) maintained by
an Affiliated Employer) for any Limitation Year may not exceed the lesser of:

         (1)      Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00), and for each year
                  thereafter the dollar amount prescribed by the Secretary of
                  the Treasury, to take into account any cost-of-living
                  adjustment under Section 415(d) of the Code, or

         (2) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Member's Earnings for the
Limitation Year.

                                       29

         c. Defined Contribution And Defined Benefit Plans: If, in any
Limitation Year, a Member also participates in one (1) or more qualified defined
benefit plans maintained by any Affiliated Employer (whether or not terminated),
then for such Limitation Year, the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction (as
defined below) for such Limitation Year and Defined Contribution Plan Fraction
(as defined below) for such Limitation Year shall not exceed one (1.0).

         The Defined Benefit Fraction for any Limitation Year shall mean a
fraction (a) the numerator of which is the projected annual benefit of the
member under the qualified defined benefit plan(s) (determined as of the close
of the Limitation Year), and (b) the denominator of which is the lesser of One
Hundred Twenty-Five Percent (125%) of the dollar limitation under Code Section
415(b)(1)(A) or One Hundred Forty Percent (140%) of the percentage limitation
under Code Section 415(b)(1)(B) for the year of determination (taking into
account the effect of Section 235(g)(4) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act of 1982).

         The Defined Contribution Fraction for any Limitation Year shall mean a
fraction (a) the numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions (as
defined during each applicable Limitation Year) to the Member's accounts under
all qualified defined contribution plans maintained by an Affiliated Employer as
of the close of the Limitation Year (subject to reduction to the extent
permitted under the transition rule in Section 235(g)(3) of the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982), and (b) the denominator of which is the sum
of the lesser of One Hundred Twenty-Five Percent (125%) of the dollar limitation
under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) or One Hundred Forty Percent (140%) of the
percentage limitation under Code Section 415(c)(1)(B), for such Limitation Year
and for all prior Limitation Years during which the Employee was employed by an
Affiliated Employer (provided, however, at the election of the Committee, the
denominator shall be increased by using for Limitation Years ending prior to
January 1, 1983, an amount equal to the denominator in effect for the Limitation
Year ending in 1982, multiplied by the transition fraction provided in Code
Section 415(e)(6)(B)).

         If, in any Limitation Year, the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan
Fraction and Defined Contribution Plan Fraction for a Member would exceed one
(1.0) without adjustment of the amount of Annual Additions that can be allocated
to such Member under paragraph b. of this Section, then the amount of maximum
annual benefit that can be paid to such Member under any qualified defined
benefit plan(s) maintained by an Affiliated Employer, shall be reduced to the
extent necessary to reduce the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and
Defined Contribution Plan Fraction for such Member to one (1.0).

         d. Excess Allocation: If forfeitures available for allocation or if a
reasonable error in either estimating a Member's Earnings or in determining the
Member's elective deferrals (under Code Section 402(g)(3)) or if other
circumstances acceptable to the Internal Revenue Service would cause the
limitation on Annual Additions described above to be exceeded, then the amount
of such excess shall be disposed of as follows:

         (1)      The excess will be refunded to the Member from the Member's
                  after-tax contributions for such year, if any (together with
                  any investment gain).

                                       30

         (2)      If any excess remains, it will be taken from the Member's
                  elective pre-tax contributions for such year, if any, that are
                  not eligible for an Employer matching contribution and either
                  held by the Plan to be applied as an elective pre-tax
                  contribution for the Member in the following year or refunded
                  to the Member (together with any investment gain).

         (3)      If any excess remains, it will be allocated proportionately
                  between the Member's remaining elective pre-tax contributions,
                  if any, and Employer matching contributions, if any, for such
                  year, with the elective pre-tax contribution portion either
                  applied as an elective pre-tax contribution for the Member in
                  the following year or refunded to the Member (together with
                  any investment gain) and the Employer matching contribution
                  portion forfeited and applied to reduce future Employer
                  matching contributions hereunder.

         (4)      If any excess remains, it shall be forfeited from any other
                  Employer contributions made for such Member for such year and
                  applied to reduce future Employer contributions hereunder.

         (5)      If any excess remains attributable to another Affiliated
                  Employer's defined contribution plan, such excess shall be
                  disposed of in accordance with such other plan.

         To the extent that the Committee determines that contributions not yet
made to the Plan on behalf of Members would cause an excess hereunder if
actually made to the Plan, the Committee may apply the above limitations
prospectively to limit the contribution amount actually receivable by the Plan
for such Member.

                             Top-Heavy Requirements

12.1     Top-Heaviness and Plan Aggregation:

         a. Determination Of Top-Heaviness: Subject to b. of this Section, this
Plan will be considered to be top-heavy in any Plan Year if the aggregate value
of the account balances of key Employees hereunder is greater than sixty percent
(60%) of the aggregate value of all account balances hereunder. For purposes of
determining whether such top-heaviness exists in any such Plan Year the
following provisions shall be applicable:

         (1) A key Employee is any individual (whether or not deceased) who, at
any time during the five (5) Plan Years immediately preceding the current Plan
Year, was:

                  (i)      an officer of the Employer or Affiliated Employer
                           having an annual compensation from the Employer
                           and/or Affiliated Employer (as reported on income tax
                           form W-2 or its equivalent) greater than Fifty
                           Percent (50%) of the defined benefit plan dollar
                           limitation in effect under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A)
                           for any such Plan Year (except that no more than
                           fifty (50) Employees or, if less, the greater of
                           three (3) and ten percent (10%) of the Employees,
                           shall be treated as officers), or

                                       31

                  (ii)     one of the ten (10) Employees having an annual
                           compensation from the Employer and/or Affiliated
                           Employer (as reported on income tax form W-2 or its
                           equivalent) greater than the defined contribution
                           plan dollar limitation in effect under Code Section
                           415(c)(1)(A) and owning (or considered as owning
                           under Code Section 416(i)(1)) both more than a
                           one-half percent (1/2%) interest and the largest
                           interests in the Employer, or

                  (iii)    a five percent (5%) owner of the Employer (taking
                           into account ownership he would be considered to have
                           under Code Section 416(i)(1)), or

                  (iv)     a one percent (1%) owner of the Employer (taking into
                           account ownership he would be considered to have
                           under Code Section 416(i)(1)) having annual
                           compensation from the Employer and/or an Affiliated
                           Employer during any calendar year (as reported on
                           income tax Form W-2 or its equivalent) of more than
                           One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000).

                  The term "compensation" as used above in this paragraph (1)
         shall have the same meaning as in Code Section 415(c)(3), without
         regard to Code Sections 125, 402(a)(8), and 402(h)(1)(B), and Code
         Section 403(b) in the case of contributions made by an Affiliated
         Employer under a salary reduction agreement. Thus "compensation"
         includes taxable income reported on form W-2 (or its equivalent) plus
         salary reduction amounts under said Code Sections.

         Any Employee who is not a key Employee is a nonkey Employee.

         (2)      For purposes of this Section, if a former Employee has not
                  performed any services for the Employer at any time during the
                  five (5) Plan Years immediately preceding the current Plan
                  Year, any account balance remaining hereunder for such former
                  Employee shall not be taken into account. Also, any account
                  balance attributable to deductible employee contributions
                  (under Code Section 219) or attributable to a rollover
                  initiated by an Employee from the plan of an employer that is
                  not an Affiliated Employer shall not be taken into account
                  under this Section.

         (3)      The value of any account balance shall be determined as of the
                  most recent Valuation Date within the preceding Plan Year,
                  except that in the first Plan Year hereunder such account
                  balance shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation
                  Date within such first Plan Year. Such value shall include any
                  contributions allocable as of such date.

                                       32

         (4)      The value of any account balance shall be increased to include
                  any payment thereof made hereunder prior to the Valuation Date
                  as of which such value is being determined, provided any such
                  payment was made within the five (5) Plan Years immediately
                  preceding the current Plan Year. If an account balance has
                  been fully paid out prior to such Valuation Date, but within
                  the five (5) Plan Years immediately preceding the current Plan
                  Year, the amount thereof shall be taken into account, except
                  that such amount shall not be taken into account hereunder if
                  the paid out amount was either (i) rolled over or transferred
                  to another plan of the Employer or Affiliated Employer or (ii)
                  rolled over or transferred to any other plan but not at the
                  direction of the Employee who had accrued such account.

         (5)      If an Employee or former Employee for whom an account balance
                  was maintained hereunder died prior to such Valuation Date,
                  the value, if any, taken into account hereunder with respect
                  to such individual shall include the sum of any payments made
                  to him prior to such Valuation Date and within the five (5)
                  Plan Years immediately preceding the current Plan Year,
                  together with the amount, as of such Valuation Date, of any
                  remaining account balance payable hereunder to the Beneficiary
                  of such individual plus the sum of any payments made to such
                  Beneficiary hereunder prior to such Valuation Date and within
                  the five (5) Plan Years immediately preceding the current Plan
                  Year.

         (6)      If an Employee or former Employee (whether or not deceased)
                  with respect to whom an account balance would be taken into
                  account, as described above, was previously a key Employee,
                  but as of the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year
                  was no longer a key Employee, then no account balance or
                  payments thereof with respect to him or his Beneficiary shall
                  be taken into account in making the top-heavy determinations
                  described in this Section.

         (7)      The top-heavy status of this Plan, including the
                  identification of key Employees, will be determined as of each
                  Plan Year's determination date, which shall be (i) as to the
                  first Plan Year, the last day of such year and (ii) as to each
                  subsequent Plan Year, the last day of the immediately
                  preceding Plan Year.

         b. Aggregation With Other Plans: The aggregation of this Plan with
other plans for purposes of determining top-heavy status shall be in
accordance with the following:

         (1)      Required Aggregation: If a key Employee under this Plan also
                  participates in another plan of the Employer or Affiliated
                  Employer which is qualified under Code Section 401(a) or which
                  is a simplified employee pension plan under Code Section
                  408(k), or if this Plan and another plan must be aggregated so
                  that either this Plan or the other plan will meet the
                  antidiscrimination and coverage requirements of Code Section
                  401(a)(4) or 410, then this Plan and any such other plan will
                  be aggregated for purposes of determining top heaviness. This
                  Plan will automatically be deemed top-heavy if such required
                  aggregation of plans is top-heavy as a group and will
                  automatically be deemed not top-heavy if such required
                  aggregate of plans is not top-heavy as a group.

                                       33

         (2)      Permissive Aggregation: Any other plan of the Employer or
                  Affiliated Employer which is qualified under Code Section
                  401(a) or which is a simplified employee pension plan under
                  Code Section 408(k), and which is not in the required
                  aggregation referenced in (1) above, may be aggregated with
                  this Plan (and with any other plan(s) in the required
                  aggregation group in (1) above) for purposes of determining
                  top heaviness if such aggregation would continue to meet the
                  antidiscrimination and coverage requirements of Code Sections
                  401(a)(4) and 410. This Plan will automatically be deemed not
                  top-heavy if such permissive aggregation of plans is not
                  top-heavy as a group.

         (3)      Determining Aggregate Top-Heavy Status: The top-heavy status
                  of the plans as a group is determined by aggregating the
                  plans' respective top-heavy determinations that are made as of
                  determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.

         12.2 Effects Of Top-Heaviness: If this Plan becomes top-heavy, the
following special provisions shall apply except (i) in the case of an Employee
hereunder who is also covered by another top-heavy qualified defined
contribution plan of an Affiliated Employer, the top-heavy minimum allocation in
a. below shall not apply if the top-heavy minimum allocation under such other
plan is applied to such Employee thereunder, and (ii) in the case of an Employee
hereunder who is also covered by a top-heavy qualified defined benefit plan of
an Affiliated Employer, the top-heavy minimum allocation in a. below shall not
apply if the top-heavy minimum benefit under such other plan is applied to such
Employee thereunder, but if such top-heavy minimum benefit is not applied to
such Employee, then the top-heavy minimum allocation in a. below shall be
applied except that the percentage shall be five percent (5%).

         a. Minimum Allocation: If any Employee is covered under this Plan
during any Plan Year when the Plan is top-heavy, he shall, during such Plan
Year, receive an allocated Employer contribution (subject to the vesting
requirements of this Plan and other than an elective contribution under Code
Section 401(k)) at least equal to a percentage of his considered compensation
(defined below) for such Plan Year, which percentage shall be the lesser of:

         (i)      three percent (3%), and

         (ii)     the actual percentage that the allocation of Employer
                  contributions and forfeitures, including elective
                  contributions under Code Section 401(k), received for such
                  Plan Year by the key Employee receiving the largest such
                  allocation, represented as a percentage of such key Employee's
                  considered compensation (defined below).

         An Employee's considered compensation is the amount of compensation he
received from the Employer for such Plan Year (not in excess of the dollar
limitation in Section 2.2(f) hereof) reportable on income tax Form W-2 or its
equivalent.

         b. Adjustments To Code Section 415 Limits: If this Plan is top-heavy
during any Plan Year, the combined plan limitations of Code Section 415, as
described in Section 11.1 hereof, shall be applied for such Plan Year by
substituting "One Hundred Percent (100%)" for "One Hundred Twenty-Five Percent
(125%)" wherever the latter term appears in said Section 11.1 hereof.

                                       34

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                 Administration

         13.1 Appointment Of Committee: Responsibility for administration of
this Plan shall be with the Corporation, which shall be the Plan Administrator
hereunder. The Corporation, as Plan Administrator, shall appoint a Committee
consisting of at least three (3) persons who shall assist the Plan Administrator
in the administration of this Plan, but who shall have no responsibility for the
management or investment of Plan assets. All action taken by the Committee shall
be deemed actions taken by the Plan Administrator and the Plan Administrator
shall, alone, have fiduciary responsibility in connection with such actions,
except with respect to willful misconduct or gross negligence. All usual and
reasonable expenses of the Committee may be paid in whole or in part by the Plan
Administrator, and any expenses not paid by the Plan Administrator shall be paid
by the Trustee out of the principal or income of the Trust. The members of the
Committee shall not receive compensation with respect to their services for the
Committee. The members of the Committee shall serve without bond or security for
the performance of their duties hereunder unless the applicable law makes the
furnishing of such bond or security mandatory or unless required by the Plan
Administrator. The Plan Administrator may pay the premiums on any bond secured
under this Section including the purchase of fiduciary liability insurance for
any person who becomes a fiduciary under this Plan.

         13.2 Committee Powers And Duties: The Committee shall have such powers
as may be necessary to discharge its duties hereunder, including, but not by way
of limitation, the following powers and duties:

         a.       to construe and interpret the Plan, decide all questions of
eligibility and determine the amount, manner and time of payment of any benefits

 hereunder;

         b.       to prescribe rules for the operation of the Plan;

         c. to receive from the Employer and from Employees such information as
shall be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan;

         d.       to employ an independent qualified public accountant to
examine the books, records, and any financial statements and schedules which are
required to be included in the annual report;

         e. to file with the appropriate government agency (or agencies) the
annual report, plan description, summary plan description, and other pertinent
documents which may be duly requested;

         f.       to file such terminal and supplementary reports as may be
necessary in the event of the termination of the Plan;

         g. to furnish each Employee and each Beneficiary receiving benefits
hereunder a summary plan description explaining the Plan;

         h. to furnish any Employee or Beneficiary, who requests in writing,
statements indicating such Employee's or Beneficiary's total account
 balances and nonforfeitable benefits, if any;

                                       35

         i. to furnish to an Employee a statement containing information
contained in a registration statement (Schedule SSA) required by Section 6057(a)
(2) of the Code prior to the time prescribed by law to file such registration if
such statement contains information regarding the Employee;

         j. to maintain all records necessary for verification of information
required to be filed with the appropriate government agency (or agencies);

         k. to report to the Trustee all available information regarding the
amount of benefits payable to each Employee, the computations with respect to
the allocation of assets, and any other information which the Trustee may
require in order to terminate the Plan;

         l.       to delegate to one or more of the members of the Committee
the right to act in its behalf in all matters connected with the administration
of the Plan and Trust;

         m.       to delegate to any individual(s) such of the above powers and
duties as the Committee deems appropriate; and

         n. to appoint or employ for the Plan any agents it deems advisable,
including, but not limited to, legal counsel.

         The Committee shall have no power to add to, subtract from or modify
any of the terms of the Plan, nor to change or add to any benefits provided by
the Plan, nor to waive or fail to apply any requirements of eligibility for
benefits under the Plan. All rules and decisions of the Committee shall be
uniformly and consistently applied to all Employees in similar circumstances.

         A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business. No action shall be taken except upon a majority
vote of the Committee members. An individual shall not vote or decide upon any
matter relating solely to himself or vote in any case in which his individual
right or claim to any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. If, in
any case in which a Committee member is so disqualified to act, and the
remaining members cannot agree, the Board of Directors of the Corporation will
appoint a temporary substitute member to exercise all the powers of the
disqualified member concerning the matter in which he is disqualified.

         13.3 Claims Procedure: The Committee may prescribe procedures for
obtaining benefits and is required to provide a notice in writing to any person
whose claim for benefits under this Plan has been denied, setting forth (1) the
specific reasons for such denial, (2) the specific reference to pertinent Plan
provisions on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional
material or information necessary to the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (4) an
explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure as described below, including
the name and address of the party to whom an appeal should be sent.

         A claimant has the right to appeal a denial of claim by written
application to the Committee within sixty (60) days of notice of denial or, if
no such notice has been given, at the end of the expiration of a reasonable
period of time after the claim was filed. The claimant, or a duly authorized
representative, may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and
comments in writing to the Committee.

                                       36

         After the Committee reviews the claims appeal, a final decision shall
be made and communicated to the claimant within sixty (60) days of receipt of
the appeal by the Committee, unless special circumstances require an extension.
Such extension cannot extend beyond one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt
of the appeal by the Committee. The communication shall be set forth in writing
in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall identify the
reasons for the denial and shall reference any pertinent Plan provisions upon
which the denial is based.

         13.4 Committee Procedures: The Committee shall adopt such bylaws as it
deems desirable. The Committee shall elect one of its members as chairman and
shall elect a secretary who may, but need not, be a member of the Committee. The
Committee shall advise the Trustee of such elections in writing. The Secretary
of the Committee shall keep a record of all meetings and forward all necessary
communications to the Trustee.

         13.5 Authorization Of Benefit Payments: The Committee shall issue
directions to the Trustee concerning all benefits which are to be paid from the
Trust Fund pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Committee shall keep on
file, in such manner, as it may deem convenient or proper, all reports from the
Trustee.

         13.6 Payment Of Expenses: All expenses incident to the administration,
termination or protection of the Plan and Trust, including but not limited to,
actuarial, legal, accounting, and Trustee's fees, shall be paid by the Trust
unless paid by the Employer and/or the Employees.

         13.7 Unclaimed Benefits: Any unclaimed benefit held hereunder for a
former Member who cannot be found, after reasonable efforts have been made by
the Committee, may be applied to pay plan expenses or to offset any Employer
contributions hereunder, provided that if the Member duly makes a subsequent
claim for such benefit, the Employer will make a special contribution equal to
the amount that was so applied to pay expenses or offset Employer contributions
(together with appropriate interest determined by the Committee) and such
special contribution will then be paid hereunder to said Member.

         13.8 Indemnity: The Employer indemnifies and saves harmless any member
of the Board of Directors of the Employer and any Employee of the Employer from
and against any and all loss resulting from liability to which any such person
may be subjected by reason of any conduct (except willful or reckless
misconduct) in a fiduciary capacity under this Plan or Trust, or both, including
all expenses reasonably incurred in such person's defense, in case the Employer
fails to provide such defense. The indemnification provisions of this Section
shall not relieve any such person of any liability he may have under ERISA for
breach of a fiduciary duty.

         13.9     Investment Committee:

         a.        Composition of the Investment Committee:   The Board of
Directors of the Corporation shall appoint an Investment Committee of three to
five members.

         b. Duties: The Investment Committee is responsible for the following
 duties under the Plan:

                                       37

         (i)      Selecting investment alternatives offered under the Plan, one
                  of which shall be the Raytheon Common Stock Fund. The
                  selection of these investment alternatives shall be made in
                  accordance with section 404(c) of ERISA and with the intent
                  that the Plan operate as a section 404(c) plan. In addition,
                  the Investment Committee shall not select as an investment
                  alternative any investment that would involve a transaction
                  between the Plan and the Corporation or any Affiliated
                  Employer or a loan from the Plan to the Corporation or any
                  Affiliated Employer.

         (ii)     Selecting a fund for the investment of assets under the Plan
                  with regard to which a Member or Beneficiary has the
                  opportunity to exercise control but for which no investment
                  direction has been provided.

         (iii)    Receiving investment direction from Members or Beneficiaries.
                  This responsibility may be delegated to another Plan fiduciary
                  by the Investment Committee.

         (iv)     Establishing the procedures required by section
                  5.4(b)(6)(d)(vii) of the Plan to keep information related to
                  investment in or exercise of rights associated with the
                  Raytheon Common Stock Fund confidential and ensuring that such
                  procedures are sufficient to preserve the confidentiality of
                  that information.

         (v)      Establishing a procedure for the appointment of a fiduciary
                  not affiliated with the Corporation in the event that the
                  Investment Committee determines that there exists a situation
                  in which the potential for undue employer influence upon
                  Members or Beneficiaries exists with regard to the direct or
                  indirect exercise of shareholder rights associated with Member
                  or Beneficiary investment in the Raytheon Common Stock Fund.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                   Trust Fund

         14.1 Establishment Of Trust Fund: A Trust Fund shall be established for
the purpose of receiving contributions, and paying benefits, under this Plan. A
Trustee (or Trustees) shall be appointed under the terms of a trust agreement to
administer the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of such trust agreement.

         14.2 Payment Of Contributions To Trust Fund: All contributions under
this Plan shall be paid to the Trust Fund and shall be held, invested and
reinvested by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement.
All property and funds of the Trust Fund, including income from investments and
from all other sources, shall be retained for the exclusive benefit of
Employees, as provided in the Plan, and shall be used to pay benefits to
Employees or their beneficiaries, or to pay expenses of administration of the
Plan and Trust Fund, except as provided in Section 18.4 hereof.

                                       38

                                   ARTICLE XV

                 Adoption And Withdrawal By Other Organizations

         15.1 Procedure For Adoption: Subject to the further provisions of
Section 15.3, any corporation or other organization with employees, now in
existence or hereafter formed or acquired, which is not already an Employer
under this Plan and which is otherwise legally eligible, may, in the future,
with the consent and approval of the Corporation, by formal resolution of its
own board or governing authority, adopt the Plan hereby created and the related
Trust, for all or any classification of persons in its employment, and thereby,
from and after the specified effective date become an Employer under this Plan.
Such adoption shall be accomplished by and evidenced by a formal designation
resolution of the Corporation, and by such formal resolution of the adopting
organization consented to by the Corporation. The adoption resolution may
contain such specific changes and variations in Plan or Trust terms and
provisions applicable to such adopting Employer and its Employees, as may be
acceptable to the Corporation and the Trustee. However, the sole, exclusive
right of any other amendment of whatever kind or extent, to the Plan or Trust is
reserved by the Corporation. The adoption resolution shall become, as to such
adopting organization and its employees, a part of this Plan, as then amended or
thereafter amended, and the related Trust. It shall not be necessary for the
adopting organization to sign or execute the original or the amended Plan and
Trust documents. The effective date of the Plan for any such adopting
organization shall be that stated in the resolution of adoption, and from and
after such effective date such adopting organization shall assume all the
rights, obligations and liabilities of an individual Employer entity hereunder
and under the Trust. The administrative powers and control of the Corporation,
as provided in the Plan and Trust, including the sole right to amendment, and of
appointment and removal of the Committee and the Trustee and their successors,
shall not be diminished by reason of the participation of any such adopting
organization in the Plan and Trust.

         15.2 Withdrawal: Any participating Employer by action of its Board of
Directors or other governing authority and notice to the Corporation and
Trustee, may withdraw from the Plan and Trust at any time without affecting
other Employers not withdrawing, by complying with the provisions of the Plan
and Trust. A withdrawing Employer may arrange for the continuation by itself or
its successor, of this Plan and Trust in separate form for its own Employees,
with such amendments, if any, as it may deem proper, and may arrange for
continuation of the Plan and Trust by merger with an existing plan and trust,
and transfer of Trust assets. The Corporation may, in its absolute discretion,
terminate an adopting Employer's participation at any time when in its judgment
such adopting Employer fails or refuses to discharge its obligations under the
Plan.

                                       39

         15.3 Adoption Contingent Upon Initial And Continued Qualification: The
adoption of this Plan and its related Trust by an organization as provided in
Section 15.1 is hereby made contingent and subject to the condition precedent
that said adopting organization meets all the statutory requirements for
qualified plans, including but not limited to Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the
Code for its employees. The adopting organization shall request an initial
approval letter of determination from the appropriate District Director of
Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Plan and Trust herein set forth
or as amended before the receipt of such letter, meets the requirements of the
applicable federal statutes for tax qualification purposes for such adopting
organization and its covered employees. Unless such an initial approval letter
is issued, such adoption shall become void and inoperative and any contribution
made by or for such organization shall be promptly refunded by the Trustee.
Furthermore, if the Plan or the Trust in its operation, becomes disqualified for
such purposes for any reason, as to such adopting organization and its
employees, the portion of the Trust Fund allocable to them shall be segregated
as soon as is administratively feasible, pending either the prompt (1)
requalification of the Plan and Trust as to such organization and its employees
to the satisfaction of the Internal Revenue Service, so as not to affect the
continued qualified status thereof as to other Employers, or (2) withdrawal of
such organization from this Plan and Trust and a continuation by itself or its
successor, of its plan and trust separately from this Plan and Trust, or by
merger with another existing plan and trust, with a transfer of said segregated
portion of Trust assets, as provided by Section 15.2, or (3) taking of such
other action as shall be acceptable to the Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                                   Amendments

         16.1 Right To Amend: The Board of Directors of the Corporation (or
other body duly authorized by such Board) reserves the right to make from time
to time any amendment or amendments to this Plan which do not permit reversion
of any part of the Trust Fund to the Employers except as provided in Section
18.4 and which do not cause any part of the Trust Fund to be used for, or
diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of Employees included
in this Plan and which do not, directly or indirectly, reduce any Member's
account balance unless such amendment is required in order to maintain the
Plan's qualified status under Code Section 401(a). Any one of the Corporation's
three selected Vice Presidents (the selected Vice Presidents are: (i) Vice
President, Corporate Relations and Administration, (ii) Vice President, Finance
and Chief Financial Officer, and (iii) Vice President, Secretary and General
Counsel) is also authorized to make, on behalf of the Corporation, any amendment
or amendments to this Plan (or related Trust), provided any such amendment is
for the purpose of: (i) meeting applicable requirements for compliance with the
Code or ERISA or other applicable law where there are either no options as to
the method of compliance or where the costs associated with each of two or more
alternative methods of compliance are generally the same or not significant in
amount as to the selected method of compliance or (ii) simplifying, improving or
clarifying practices or procedures under the Plan or Trust, without
significantly increasing Employer costs.

                                       40

         Upon delivery to an Employer of an executed copy of an amendment
properly authorized and adopted by the Corporation, the Plan as to such Employer
shall be thereupon amended in accordance therewith.

                                  ARTICLE XVII

                           Withdrawal And Termination

         17.1 Employer Withdrawal: An Employer may at any time, by adoption of a
resolution, withdraw from the Plan with respect to any or all of the Employees
employed by said Employer.

         Upon an Employer's liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, sale,
consolidation, or merger to or with another organization which is not an
Employer hereunder, or upon an adjudication or other official determination of a
court of competent jurisdiction or other public authority pursuant to which a
conservator, receiver, or other legal custodian is appointed for the purpose of
operation or liquidation of an Employer, such Employer (or its successor) will
automatically be withdrawn from this Plan with respect to all of its Employees,
unless the Corporation and such Employer (or its successor) agree to its
continued participation hereunder.

         Any such withdrawal of an Employer from this Plan will be carried out
in a manner intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Corporation may require that an advance determination letter
be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service approving the terms of any such
withdrawal.

         Upon the consolidation or merger of two (2) or more of the Employers
under this Plan with each other, no such withdrawal will occur, but the
surviving Employer or organization shall succeed to all the rights and duties
under the plan and trust of the Employers involved.

         17.2 Transfers Of Plan Assets And Plan Mergers: The Plan and Trust
shall not be merged or consolidated with, nor shall any Plan assets or
liabilities be transferred to, any other plan, unless either (i) each
Participant in the Plan (if the Plan then terminated) receives a benefit
immediately after such merger, consolidation, or transfer, which is equal to or
greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately
before such merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated)
or (ii) the conditions in (i) are deemed to be met due to compliance with the
procedures set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.414(1)-1 regarding plan mergers
and transfers.

         17.3 Plan Termination: The Corporation may at any time, by adoption of
a resolution, terminate this Plan with respect to itself and all other Employers
hereunder. This Plan shall automatically terminate if all Employers cease to
exist and no successor continues the Plan.

         A partial termination of this Plan will occur if required under the
qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code.

         17.4 Suspension And Discontinuance Of Contributions And Plan
Termination: If the Employer decides it is impossible or inadvisable to continue
to make its contributions hereunder, it shall have the power to:

                                       41

                  (a)      suspend contributions to the Plan; or

                  (b)      discontinue contributions to the Plan; or

                  (c)      terminate the Plan as to its Employees.

         Suspension shall be temporary cessation of contributions and such a
suspension which has not ripened into a complete and permanent discontinuance
shall not require any vesting of Individual Accounts.

         In the event of a discontinuance of contributions, Employees who become
eligible to enter the Plan subsequent to the discontinuance shall receive no
benefit, and no additional benefits attributable to Employer contributions shall
accrue to any of the Members unless contributions are resumed. After the date of
discontinuance of contributions, the Trust shall remain in existence as provided
in this Section, and the provisions of the Plan and Trust shall remain in force
as may be necessary in the sole opinion of the Committee. A certified copy of
such decision or resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee, and as soon as
possible thereafter, the Trustee shall send or deliver to each Member or
Beneficiary concerned a copy thereof.

         17.5 Liquidation Of Trust Fund: Upon termination, or partial
termination, of the Plan, the proportionate interests of the affected Members
and their Beneficiaries shall be liquidated after provision is made for the
expenses of administration, termination and liquidation, except that a Member's
Employer Stock may not be liquidated without the Member's consent unless
required to pay Plan expenses. Thereafter, the Trustee shall distribute as soon
as administratively feasible the amount to the credit of each such Member and
Beneficiary as the Committee shall direct. All such distributions under this
Section will be subject to the restrictions in 11.4 and 11.7 hereof.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII

                               General Provisions

         18.1 Nonguarantee Of Employment: Nothing contained in this Plan shall
be construed as a contract of employment between an Employer and Employee, or as
a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of an Employer, or as
a limitation of the right of an Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with
or without cause.

         18.2 Manner Of Payment: Wherever and whenever it is herein provided for
payments or distributions to be made, whether in money or otherwise, said
payments or distributions shall be made directly into the hands of the Member,
his Beneficiary, his administrator, executor or guardian, as the case may be.
Deposit for the benefit of a Member in any account selected by a Member or
Beneficiary hereunder shall be deemed payment into his hands, and provided
further, that in the event any person otherwise entitled to receive any payment
or distribution shall be a minor or an incompetent, such payment or distribution
may be made to his guardian or other person as may be determined by the
Committee.

                                       42

         18.3 Nonalienation Of Benefits: Benefits payable under this Plan shall
not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any
kind, either voluntary or involuntary, prior to being received by the person
entitled to the benefit under the terms of the Plan. Any attempt to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose
of any right to benefits payable hereunder shall be void. The Trust Fund shall
not in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person entitled to benefits hereunder.
None of the unpaid Plan benefits or Trust assets shall be considered an asset of
the Member in the event of his insolvency or bankruptcy.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may approve payment to an
alternate payee based upon any "qualified domestic relations order" as defined
in Code Section 414(p), and a Member may pledge his account, to the extent
allowed under Section 10.2 hereof, as security for a loan made to such Member in
accordance with Section 10.2 hereof and such payment or pledge shall not be
deemed a prohibited alienation of benefits.

         18.4 Amounts Returnable To An Employer: In no event shall an Employer
receive any amounts from the Trust, except such amounts, if any, as set forth
below:

         a. In the event of a contribution made by an Employer by a mistake of
fact, such contribution may be returned to such Employer within one year after
payment thereof.

         b. If an Employer's determination letter issued by the District
Director of Internal Revenue referred to in Section 15.3 hereof is an initial
determination letter as to such Employer and is to the effect that the Plan and
Trust herein set forth or as amended prior to the receipt of such letter do not
meet the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, such Employer
shall be entitled at its option to withdraw, within one year of the receipt of
such letter, all contributions made on and after its effective date, in which
event the Plan and Trust shall then terminate as to such Employer and all rights
of the Employees shall be those as if the Plan had never been adopted.

         c. Each contribution hereunder is conditioned upon the deductibility of
such contribution under Section 404 of the Code and shall be returned to an
Employer within one year if such deduction is disallowed (to the extent of the
disallowance).

         18.5 Governing Law: This Plan and each of its provisions shall be
construed and their validity determined by the application of the laws of the
State of Texas, except to the extent such law is preempted by Federal statute.

                                       43

                                   ARTICLE XIX

                              Fiduciary Provisions

         19.1 General Allocation Of Duties: Each fiduciary with respect to the
Plan shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities and
obligations as are specifically given him under the Plan. The Board of Directors
of the Corporation shall have the sole responsibility for authorizing Employer
contributions under the Plan and for terminating the Plan and it shall have the
sole authority to appoint and remove the Trustee or members of the Committee.
However, said Board shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Trustee
or be under any obligation to invest or otherwise manage any assets of the Trust
Fund which are subject to the management of the Trustee unless it knows that
said Trustee has committed a breach of the obligations and duties set forth in
ERISA.

         Except as otherwise specifically provided, the Committee shall have the
sole responsibility for the administration of the Plan, which responsibility is
specifically described herein. Except as otherwise specifically provided, the
Trustee shall have the sole responsibility for the management of the assets held
under the Plan. Members shall be responsible for giving investment direction in
accordance with Section 5.4, except to the extent provided in said Section 5.4
that an investment committee is responsible for the investment direction for
Members not making their own investment selections.

         It is intended under the Plan that each fiduciary shall be responsible
for the proper exercise of his own powers, duties, responsibilities and
obligations hereunder and shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act
of another fiduciary, except to the extent provided by law or as specifically
provided herein.

         19.2 Fiduciary Duty: Each fiduciary under the Plan, shall discharge his
duties and responsibilities with respect to the Plan:

         a.       solely in the interest of the Plan participants, for the
exclusive purpose of providing benefits to such participants, and their
beneficiaries, and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the
Plan;

         b. with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances
 then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with
 such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of

a like character and with like aims;

         c. the investment committee under Section 13.9 shall diversify the
investments of the Plan not subject to the investment direction of Members so as
to minimize the risk of large losses, unless under the circumstances it is
prudent not to do so; and

         d.       in accordance with the documents and instruments governing
the Plan insofar as such documents and instruments are consistent with
applicable law.

                                       44

         19.3 Fiduciary Liability: A fiduciary shall not be liable in any way
for any acts or omissions constituting a breach of fiduciary responsibility
occurring prior to the date he becomes a fiduciary or after the date he ceases
to be a fiduciary.

         19.4     Co-Fiduciary Liability:  A fiduciary shall not be liable for
any breach of fiduciary responsibility by another fiduciary unless:

         a.       he participates knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to
conceal, an act or omission or such other fiduciary, knowing such act or
omission is a breach;

         b. by his failure to comply with Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA in the
 administration of his specific responsibilities which give rise to his

status as a fiduciary, he has enabled such other fiduciary to commit a
breach; or

         c. having knowledge of a breach by such other fiduciary, he fails to
make reasonable efforts under the circumstances to remedy the breach.

         19.5 Delegation and Allocation: Any fiduciary may appoint individuals
or any other agents as it deems advisable and delegate to any of such appointees
any or all of the powers and duties of the fiduciary to the extent allowed under
ERISA. Such appointment and delegation must clearly specify the powers or duties
delegated. Upon such appointment and delegation, the delegating fiduciary shall
have no liability for the acts or omissions of any such delegate, as long as the
delegating fiduciary does not violate its fiduciary responsibility in making or
continuing such delegation.

specified in Section 3.3 hereof or the annual allowable deferral amount under
section 401(k)(3) or 401(m) of the Code, the excess contributions and earnings
thereon shall be distributed to the Participant by the end of the Plan Year
following the Plan Year in which such excess contributions were made.

          (b) The exclusions in Sections 4.4(d) and 4.4(h) below shall
be applied on a uniform and consistent basis for all purposes for which the
definition contained in section 414(q) of the Code is applicable.

          (c) The provisions of section 1.401(m).2(b) of the regulations
under the Code are hereby incorporated by this reference.

                                       23

          (d) In the event that the initial allocations of Employer CODA
Contributions do not satisfy one of the tests set forth in this Section ("excess
contributions" hereafter), such excess contributions shall be adjusted as
follows: on or before the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of
each Plan Year, the Highly Compensated Employee having the highest actual
deferral ratio shall have his or her portion of such excess contributions
distributed to him until one of the tests set forth in this Section is
satisfied, or until his or her actual deferral ratio equals the actual deferral
ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee having the next highest deferral ratio.
This process shall continue until one of the actual deferral percentage tests
set forth in this Section is satisfied.

          (e) For each Highly Compensated Employee, the amount of excess
contributions is equal to the Elective Contributions on behalf of such Highly
Compensated Employee (determined prior to the application of this paragraph)
minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee's
actual deferral ratio (determined after application of this paragraph) by his or
her Compensation as defined in Section 2.14 hereof. However, in determining the
amount of excess contributions to be distributed with respect to an affected
Highly Compensated Employee as determined herein, such amount shall be reduced
by any excess deferred compensation previously distributed to such affected
Highly Compensated Employee for his or her taxable year ending with or within
such Plan Year and any matching contributions which relate to such excess
deferred compensation.

          (f) With respect to the distribution of excess contributions
pursuant to this Section; such distribution:

               (1) may be postponed but not later than the close of the
Plan Year following the Plan Year to which they are allocable;

               (2) shall be made first from unmatched deferred
compensation and, thereafter, simultaneously from deferred compensation which is
matched and matching contributions which relate to such deferred compensation;

               (3) shall be adjusted for income; and

               (4) shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution
of excess contributions (and income).

          (g) Reduction to Meet Section 401(m) Discrimination Tests. In
the event that the initial allocations of Employer Matched Savings Contributions
for any Participant do not satisfy one of the tests set forth in this Section
("excess aggregate contributions" hereafter), the excess aggregate contributions
shall be adjusted as follows: on or before the fifteenth day of the third month
following the end of each Plan Year, the Highly Compensated Employee having the
highest actual contribution ratio shall have his or her portion of the excess
aggregate contributions distributed to him until one of the tests set forth in
this Section is satisfied, or until his or her actual contribution ratio equals
the actual contribution ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee having the next
highest actual contribution ratio. This process shall continue until one of the
actual contribution percentage tests set forth in this Section is satisfied.

                                       24

          (h) For each Highly Compensated Employee, the amount of excess
aggregate contributions is equal to the Employee Matched Savings Matching
Contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee (determined prior to
the application of this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying
the Highly Compensated Employee's actual contribution ratio (determined after
application of this paragraph) by his or her Compensation as defined in Section
2.14 hereof.

          (i) With respect to the distribution of excess aggregate
contributions pursuant to this Section; such distribution:

               (1) may be postponed but not later than the close of the
Plan Year following the Plan Year to which they are allocable;

               (2) shall be adjusted for income; and

               (3) shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution
of excess aggregate contributions (and income).

     4.5 Reduction of Annual Additions.

          (a) Annual Additions for Participants shall be reduced in
accordance with Sections 4.5(b) and 4.5(f) below. In the event that any Other
Defined Contribution Plans do not provide for reductions in Annual Additions in
accordance with this Section, then the reductions in the Annual Additions under
this Plan shall be made in the order set forth below, disregarding the specified
priority for reductions in the Annual Additions to such Other Defined
Contributions Plans which do not so provide.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the
contrary, the Annual Additions to a Participant under the Cash or Deferred
Account on behalf of each Participant for any Plan Year, when combined with the
Annual Additions on behalf of such Participant for such Plan Year under all
Other Defined Contribution Plans cannot exceed the lesser of:

               (1) $30,000 (or, if greater, one-fourth of the dollar
limitation in effect for such Plan Year under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code)
as adjusted from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury or his or her
delegate for increases in the cost of living pursuant to the provisions of
section 415(d) of the Code; or

               (2) 25 percent of the Participant's 415 Compensation
during the Plan Year.

          (c) (1) Annual Additions to which a Participant would
otherwise be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and such Other
Defined Contribution plans which are in excess of the limitations set forth
above shall be reduced in the following order: 

                                       25

                    (B) Employer Matched Savings Contributions under Section
4.2 hereof; and

                    (C) Forfeitures under Section 5.7 hereof.

               (2) In the event that any such Other Defined Contribution
Plans do not provide for reductions in Annual Additions in accordance with this
Section, then the reductions in the Annual Additions under this Plan shall be
made in the order set forth above, disregarding the specified priority for
reductions in the Annual Additions to such Other Defined Contributions Plans
which do not so provide.

          (d) The Annual Additions for any year for a Participant who is or
who has been a Participant in one or more defined contribution plans maintained
by an Employer, or Affiliated Company (determined by substituting 50 percent for
80 percent in section 414(b) and (c) of the Code) which is qualified under
section 401(a) of the Code shall be aggregated for purposes of the limitations
contained in this Section.

          (e) If as a result of the allocation of Forfeitures, a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's 415 Compensation, or under other limited
facts and circumstances which the Internal Revenue Commissioner finds justify
the availability of the provisions set forth in this paragraph, the Annual
Additions under this Plan on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year would
cause the limitations set forth in this Section 4.5(b) to be exceeded for the
Plan Year, such Participants' excess Employer CODA Contribution and income
thereon shall be returned to the Participant to the extent of such excess
amounts, and any excess amounts remaining after such refund shall, if the
Participant is a Participant in this Plan as of the end of the Plan Year in
which the excess occurs, be used to reduce Employer contributions for such
Participant in the following Plan Year (and any succeeding Plan Years until the
excess amount is exhausted); provided that, if such Participant ceases to be a
Participant in this Plan prior to the end of the Plan Year in which the excess
occurs, then the excess amounts shall be unallocated in a suspense account and
allocated and reallocated to the Cash or Deferred Accounts as determined by the
Committee, of all Participants in this Plan (subject to the limitations of this
Section 4.5(b)) in the following Plan Year prior to the allocation of any
Employer contributions and shall reduce the amount of Employer contributions for
such following Plan Year for all Participants in this Plan.

          (f) The Annual Additions for any year for a Participant who is
or who has been a Participant in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by
an Employer, or Affiliated Company (determined by substituting 50 percent for 80
percent in section 414(b) and (c) of the Code) which is qualified under section
401(a) of the Code shall not exceed an amount which would result in the sum of
the Participant's Defined Benefit Fraction for any year and the Participant's
Defined Contribution Fraction for the same year exceeding 1.0.

                                       26

          (g) Annual Additions to which a Participant would otherwise be
entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and such Other Defined
Contribution Plans and defined benefit plans which are in excess of the
limitations set forth above shall be reduced in the following order:

               (1) All retirement benefits under such defined
benefit plans;

               (2) Employer CODA Contributions under Section 4.1
hereof;

               (3) Employer Matched Savings Contributions under Section
4.2 hereof; and

               (4) Forfeitures under Section 5.7 hereof.

                   (h) In the event that any such defined benefit plans or Other
Defined Contribution Plans do not provide for reductions in Annual Additions in
accordance with this Section, then the reductions in the Annual Additions under
this Plan shall be made in the order set forth above, disregarding the specified
priority for reductions in the Annual Additions to such Other Defined
Contribution Plans which do not so provide.

                    (i) If as a result of the allocation of Forfeitures, a
reasonable error in estimating a Participant's 415 Compensation, or under other
limited facts and circumstances which the Internal Revenue Commissioner finds
justify the availability of the provisions set forth in this Paragraph, the
Annual Additions under this Plan on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year
would cause the limitations set forth in this Section 4.5(i) to be exceeded for
the Plan Year, such Participants' excess Employer CODA Contribution, and income
thereon, shall be returned to the Participant to the extent of such excess
amounts, and any excess contribution amounts remaining after such refund shall,
if the Participant is a Participant in this Plan as of the end of the Plan Year
in which the excess occurs, be used to reduce Employer contributions for such
Participant in the following Plan Year (and any succeeding Plan Years until the
excess amount is exhausted); provided that, if such Participant ceases to be a
Participant in this Plan prior to the end of the Plan Year in which the excess
occurs, then the excess amounts shall be held unallocated in a suspense account
and allocated and reallocated to the Cash or Deferred Accounts as determined by
the Committee, of all Participants in this Plan (subject to the limitations of
this Section 4.5(i) in the following Plan Year prior to the allocation of any
Employer contributions for such following Plan Year for all Participants in this
Plan.

     4.6 Allocation of Employer Contributions Among Employers. Allocation of
Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings Contributions Among
Employers. The Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings
Contributions of each Employer shall be that portion of the amount determined in
Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof which the total amount elected pursuant to Section
4.1 hereof by all Participants employed by the Employer bears to the total
amount elected by all Participants in the Plan for the Plan Year. If, however,
all Employers are members of an affiliated group (as such term is used in the
Code) and any Employer is prevented from making a contribution it would
otherwise have made by reason of having no current or accumulated earnings and
profits (as such terms are used in the Code) or because such earnings and
profits are less than the Employer contribution which it would otherwise have
made, then so much of the contribution which such Employer was prevented from
making may be made for the benefit of the participating Employees of such
Employer by the other Employers of the group to the extent permitted by the
Code.

     4.7 Form of Employer Contributions. The amount of each Employer's
Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings contributions under
this Plan shall be made to the Trustee in the form of cash and/or other property
of equivalent value as of the date of contribution, including without limitation
authorized and previously unissued Raytheon Stock and Raytheon Stock held as
treasury shares. The value of any Raytheon Stock contributed as of the date of
contribution of the Stock shall be the Market Value of Raytheon Stock on the
Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of contribution (or if
there shall be no trading on such date, then on the first previous date on which
there was such trading).

     4.8 Time of Employer Contributions. The Employer CODA Contributions and
the Employer Matched Savings Contributions shall be made as soon as practicable
after each pay period, but in any event such contributions shall be made within
the period prescribed by the provisions of section 401(k) of the Code or any
section of the Code which supersedes said section.

     4.9 Investment of Employer Contributions. All Employer CODA
Contributions and Employer Matched Savings Contributions for the Plan Year shall
be made in cash and/or other property of equivalent value as of the date of
contribution to the individual Participant's Cash or Deferred Account which will
be fully invested as soon as practicable after receipt by the Trustee in the
Participant Investment Funds in accordance with each Participant's investment
election then in effect.

     4.10 Participant Rollover Contributions.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
and subject to such further limitations, terms and conditions as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Committee, each Employee may make a Rollover
Contribution to such Participant's Cash or Deferred Account. No Rollover
Contribution may be made with funds which are not eligible for treatment as
rollover contributions pursuant to section 403(a)(4) of the Code. The Committee
shall have the absolute and unqualified power and authority to determine in its
sole discretion whether any such rollover contributions meet the requirements of
the Code and to grant or deny the application of any Employee or Participant to
make Rollover Contributions to this Plan. 

                                       28

          (b) Rollover Contributions shall be made to the Trustee in the
form of cash or check from the prior trustee or financial institution payable to
the order of the Plan.

          (c) All Rollover Contributions shall be credited to the
Participant's Cash or Deferred Account and shall be fully invested as soon as
practicable after receipt by the Trustee in accordance with instructions
received from the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3
hereof.

Contributions and Employer Matched Savings Contributions shall be allocated and
credited to the Participant Investment Funds of the Participants who are
Employees of such Employer in accordance with the Deferred Compensation
Agreement made by the respective Participant for the particular Plan Year;
provided, however, that the amount of any reduction in the Employer's
contribution made with respect to a Participant pursuant to Sections 3.5, 4.4 or
4.5 hereof shall be deducted from the amount which would otherwise be allocated
to such Participant's Cash or Deferred Account. Such contributions shall be
invested as soon as practicable after they are received by the Trustee in the
Participant Investment Funds in accordance with the investment election made by
the Participant.

     5.2 Participant Investment Elections.

from time to time by the Committee, each Participant may elect the investment of

of this Section 5.2.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof, a Participant
may elect to invest all or part of the assets credited to his or her Cash or
Deferred Account in any of the Participant Investment Funds. Such elections may
be made not more often than once each day. Each such election which conforms to
the terms and conditions prescribed by the Committee shall be effective as soon
as practicable after it is made and shall continue in effect until revoked or
modified by a new election. 

                                       29

     5.3 Transfers Between Participant Investment Funds.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
and subject to such further limitations, terms and conditions as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Committee, each Participant may elect not
more often than once each day to transfer assets credited to his or her Plan
Accounts among any of the Participant Investment Funds in such portions as the
Committee shall prescribe.

           (b) (1) Conditions on Elections. Elections made pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) hereof shall be made in such manner, within such time and subject
to such limitations, terms and conditions as the Committee shall prescribe. Each
such election which conforms to the terms and conditions prescribed by the
Committee shall be effective as soon as practicable after it is received by the
Committee.

               (2) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary no transfers may be made of any amounts in any Participant Investment
Funds which are invested in contracts or other instruments that do not expressly
permit transfers. Any transfers of any amounts in any Investment Fund which are
invested in contracts or other instruments that permit transfers shall be
subject to the provisions of such contracts or instruments, including any
penalty provisions.

          (c) Limitations on Transfers from Investment Contract Fund. No
transfers may be made from the Investment Contract Fund to the Income Fund and
no funds previously invested in the Investment Contract Fund may be transferred
to the Income Fund from any other Participant Investment Funds until after the
expiration of 90 days from the date those funds were transferred from the
Investment Contract Fund.

     5.4 Forfeitures. The Committee shall maintain a separate Forfeiture
account to which shall be credited the amount of the account balances of all
Forfeitures occurring during the Plan Year.

     5.5 Valuation of Assets. Property held in the Participant Investment
Funds established in connection with the Plan Accounts shall be valued in
accordance with the following principles:

          (a) Valuation of Property in General. The value of each item
of property is its Market Value.

          (b) Valuation of Stocks, Bonds, and Other Securities Traded on
an Established Market. Stocks, bonds and other securities traded on an
established market shall be valued at their closing sale prices on the Valuation
Date. If no sale is reported for the Valuation Date, the Market Value shall be
the closing price on the most recent Trading Day on where there was a trade
unless in the opinion of the Trustee the value thus obtained does not fairly
reflect the actual Market Value on the Valuation Date, in which case the
security shall be valued by the reputable broker or investment banker selected
by the Trustee. 

                                       30

          (c) Valuation of Notes. Each note shall be valued at the sum
of its unpaid principal and of interest accrued to the Valuation Date, unless
the Trustee shall obtain evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that the note is
worth less than such sum because of change in interest rate, date of maturity,
or other cause, or that such sum, either in whole or in part, is uncollectible
by reason of insolvency of the party or parties (including any maker, guarantor,
or surety) liable, or for other cause, or that any property pledged or mortgaged
to secure the payment of such sum or any part thereof is insufficient to satisfy
payment of such sum or any part thereof, in which case the note shall be valued
by the Trustee in view of the evidence thus obtained.

          (d) Valuation of Commingled Investment Funds. Assets of the
Trust commingled and invested with assets belonging to persons other than the
Trust shall be valued at the fair Market Value thereof on the Valuation Date as
determined by the manager of such assets.

          (e) Valuation of Other Property. The valuation of any property
not specifically described in Sections 5.5(b), 5.5(c) and 5.5(d) hereof shall be
made in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 5.5(a) hereof.

                               ARTICLE VI - LOANS

     6.1 Loans.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
and subject to such further limitations, terms and conditions as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Committee, the Committee may authorize a
loan or loans to a Participant, who is not on a Leave of Absence, from his or
her Plan Accounts.

          (b) Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as
permitted under section 414(u) of the Code.

     6.2 Limitation on Amount and Number. No loan shall be granted:

          (a) which would result in there being a total amount of loans
outstanding to a particular Participant, including accrued interest, in excess
of 50 percent of the combined value of the Participant's then-vested interest in
his or her Cash or Deferred Account as of the date the loan is processed;

          (b) which would result in there being a total amount of loans
outstanding to the Participant from this Plan and all Other Defined Contribution
Plans maintained by an Employer or Affiliated Company which are qualified under
the Code, in excess of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance (if
any) of all loans from the plans to such Participant during the preceding
12-month period;

                                       31

          (c) with respect to amounts attributable to a Participant's
Cash or Deferred Account in an amount which exceeds the value of the
Participant's Cash or Deferred Account, determined pursuant to Section 5.5
hereof as of the date the loan is processed;

          (d) which would result in the removal from the Participant's
Account any assets which are invested in contracts or instruments that do not
expressly permit loans; or

          (e) with a principal balance of less than $500.

     6.3 Terms.

          (a) Each loan shall be deducted from a Participant's account,
shall be secured by that portion of the Participant's vested account balance
deducted for the loan, and shall be made for such periods of time, not to exceed
five years, upon such rate of interest, and upon and subject to such other
limitations, terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Each loan,
including interest as it accrues, shall be repaid in installments in such
amounts as the Committee shall determine from each payment of Compensation by
the Employer to the Participant, and the Participant in writing shall
irrevocably authorize his or her Employer to withhold the amount of each such
installment repayment from each payment of the Participant's Compensation and to
remit the same to the Trust. Each installment shall be credited to the
Participant's account in accordance with the most recent Participant investment
election pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. In the event a Participant's
Compensation payments from an Employer are interrupted or for any other reason
loan installment payments cannot be remitted to the Trustee by the Participant's
Employer while any loan is outstanding, the Participant shall make such
installment payments, if any, within such time and such manner as the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, determine. In the event the Participant fails or
refuses to make installment payments determined by the Committee on any loan
outstanding under this Plan, such committee may, in its sole discretion, waive
or reduce any or all of such payments, or accelerate the maturity of such loan
and in such event the entire unpaid principal balance and all interest accrued
on such loan shall mature and become immediately due and payable and the unpaid
balance of principal and interest, interest accrued thereon, collection costs,
attorneys fees and other amounts due and owing pursuant to the provisions of the
instruments evidencing the loan shall be deemed paid.

          (b) The Committee shall have the absolute and unqualified
right, in its sole discretion, to prescribe limitations, terms and conditions
for all loans, and to prescribe, amend with the consent of the Participant, and
waive any installment payments on any loan or loans made hereunder.

                                       32

     6.4 Termination of Employment While Loan Outstanding. In the event the
entire principal balances of, together with all interest accrued on, all loans
made to a Participant have not been fully repaid to the Trust when the
Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary becomes entitled to payment or
distribution (excluding withdrawals made pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof) of any
of the assets in the Participant's Cash or Deferred Account if necessary, the
entire unpaid principal balances and all interest accrued on all loans made to
the Participant shall mature and become immediately due and payable and the
unpaid balances of principal and interest, interest accrued thereon, collection
costs, attorneys fees and other amounts due and owing pursuant to the provisions
of the instruments evidencing the loans shall be deducted from the Participant's
Cash or Deferred Account and applied to payment of such amounts to the Trust
prior to such distribution or payment of any amounts to the Participant or the
Participant's Beneficiary.

     6.5 Suspension or Termination. The Committee shall have the absolute
and unqualified right to suspend or terminate any and all rights of Participants
to receive loans under the Plan and the absolute and unqualified right to refuse
to make any and all loans to any Participant if such committee, in its sole
discretion, determines that such action is desirable or necessary to maintain
the status of the Plan and Trust as qualified under the provisions of section
401 of the Code or any other section of the Code which supersedes such section,
or that the Trust has insufficient cash available to make the loan or that the
making of any such loan or loans would or might constitute a violation of laws,
rules, regulations or orders applicable to the Plan. The Committee also shall
have the absolute and unqualified right to suspend or terminate any and all
rights of Participants to receive loans or to delay the effective date of any
and all loans if it, in its sole discretion, determines that such action is
desirable or necessary for any reason, including without limitation, the absence
or insufficiency of appropriate facilities, equipment, personnel, computer
systems or other resources or administrative procedures for processing loans.


            ARTICLE VII - PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES

     7.1 Distributions at Retirement, Permanent Disability or Death. Upon
Termination of Employment of an Employee because of Retirement or Permanent
Disability or in case of the death of any Participant, the full amount of his or
her Plan Accounts shall be payable to the Participant or, in case of death, to
the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, subject to applicable laws.

     7.2 Payments in Absence of Beneficiary. If a Participant does not have
a surviving spouse and fails to designate another Beneficiary or if the
Beneficiary so designated shall not survive the Participant, the Committee may
cause the Participant's interest upon his or her death to be paid to any one or
more surviving descendant or descendants or to any surviving parent or parents
or the executor under his or her will or to the administrator of his or her
estate, or to any one or more of such persons as such committee may direct.

                                       33

     7.3 Distribution Upon Termination of Employment. A Participant shall be
fully and immediately vested in all amounts credited to his or her Cash or
Deferred Account. No forfeiture of a vested interest in such accounts shall take
place for any reason under this Plan. Upon Termination of Employment of any
Participant for any reason other than death, the Participant shall be entitled
to receive the full amount of his or her Cash or Deferred Account.

     7.4 Amount and Form of Distribution.

          (a) Distribution in Raytheon Stock. All distributions from the
Raytheon Stock Fund shall be in Raytheon Stock unless the Participant or
Beneficiary elects otherwise, provided that no Raytheon Stock shall be
distributed until an S-8 application has been filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission and all other requirements of law have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares of Raytheon Stock shall be
distributed, and all assets to be distributed in the form of Raytheon Stock from
any Plan Account shall be aggregated for the purposes of such distribution so
that there shall be no more than one fractional share of Raytheon Stock. In lieu
of any fractional shares there shall be distributed in cash the Market Value of
Raytheon Stock as of the Trading Day on which the distribution is processed.

          (b) Election for Distribution in Cash. A Participant may
elect, at such time and in such manner as shall be specified by the Committee,
to have all amounts in all of the Participant's Plan Accounts distributed in
cash. In the event the Participant dies without having made an election and
prior to the commencement of any distributions to the Participant, or to the
Participant's Beneficiaries, all primary Beneficiaries of the Participant (or
all contingent Beneficiaries if no primary Beneficiaries survive the
Participant) may elect, at such time and in such manner as shall be specified by
the Committee, to have all amounts in all of the Participant's Plan Accounts
distributed in cash. In the event of such election, all Plan Accounts shall be
valued in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof, as of the Trading Day on which the
distribution is processed.

     7.5 Time of Payment.

          (a) All amounts distributable shall be paid or distributed to
the Participant or Beneficiary by the Trustee pursuant to instructions by the
Committee commencing, except as set forth in the following sentence, as soon as
practicable after the event giving rise to the distribution if the cumulative
balance in all of the Participant's Plan Accounts (i) does not exceed $3,500, or
(ii) exceeds $3,500 and the Participant, if living, and if not, the
Participant's Beneficiary, consents to such payment in such form and within such
time as the Committee may prescribe.

          (b) Any amounts distributable to a Participant or Beneficiary
shall, if not previously distributed, be fully distributed unless the
Participant elects otherwise not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the
end of the Plan Year of the Participant's (i) attainment of age 65; (ii) tenth
(10th) anniversary of participation hereunder, or (iii) Retirement subject to
the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof.

                                       34

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions to the
Beneficiaries of any Participant whose death occurs prior to the commencement of
any distributions to such Participant shall be made in such number of
increments, not more than three, as may be elected (i) by the Participant by
written election filed with the Committee prior to his or her death, or (ii) by
all primary Beneficiaries of the Participant (or by all contingent Beneficiaries
of the Participant if no primary Beneficiaries survive the Participant) by
written election filed with the Committee after the death of the Participant and
prior to the commencement of any distributions to the Participant or his or her
Beneficiaries; such elections may be revoked by the Participant, or after the
Participant's death by all primary Beneficiaries of the Participant (or by all
contingent Beneficiaries of the Participant if no primary Beneficiaries survive
the Participant), by notice in writing filed with the Committee prior to the
commencement of any distribution to the Participant or his or her Beneficiaries.
Except as provided in this Section 7.5, all Cash or Deferred Account
distributions to a particular Participant shall be made within the same calendar
year.

     7.6 Deferred Payment. A Participant, or, in case of his or her death a
Participant's Beneficiaries whose distribution would equal or exceed $3,500.00
may defer the receipt of all distributions to be made by the Trustee subsequent
to such Participant's Termination of Employment or death until such date as the
Participant or Beneficiaries may elect.

     7.7 Maximum Time of Commencement and Completion of Distributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in no event shall distribution
of the amount distributable to any Participant hereunder commence later than the
Required Beginning Date. In the event the entire amount distributable to a
Participant is not fully paid to the Participant by the end of the Required
Beginning Date, distribution of the entire amount distributable to the
Participant shall be fully paid within a period extending either over the life
of the Participant or over the lives of the Participant and the Participant's
Beneficiary or a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant
and the Participant's Beneficiary. The minimum payment which shall be made in
each year of the foregoing periods shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the
remaining unpaid balance of the amount distributable to the Participant, or (ii)
an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the remaining unpaid
balance of the amount distributable to the Participant at the beginning of the
year by the number of years remaining in the period (determined as of the date
of the Required Beginning Date and, if payable to the Participant's spouse,
redetermined annually), reduced by one for each year commencing after the
Required Beginning Date. In the event a Participant dies before his or her

                                       35

entire amount distributable has been paid to him or her, the remaining portion
of the amount distributable shall be paid at least as rapidly as under the
method of payment in effect at the time of death. In the event distributions
have not begun at the Participant's death, the entire interest will be fully
paid within five years after the death of the Participant. The preceding
sentence shall not apply if distribution of the amount distributable to the
Participant commences within one year after the Participant's death to a
designated Beneficiary and does not extend beyond the life expectancy of the
Beneficiary. Any distribution pursuant to this Section shall be in accordance
with the requirements of proposed regulations 1.401(a)(9).1 and 1.401(a)(9).2
under the Code, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

     7.8 Withdrawals.

          (a) The right of withdrawal shall be cumulative. An Employee
may withdraw in any year all amounts which he was entitled to but did not
withdraw in prior years.

          (b) No Employee shall have the right to withdraw any amounts
from his or her Cash or Deferred Account prior to becoming entitled to a
distribution pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. The election to withdraw shall be
exercisable at such time, in such form and subject to such conditions as the
Committee shall prescribe.

          (c) No withdrawal shall be made which would reduce the value
of the Participant's Cash or Deferred Account to less than 200 percent of the
sum of all outstanding and unpaid principal balances and accrued interest on
loans made to the Participant pursuant to Article VI. Any withdrawals of any
assets in a Participant's accounts which are invested in contracts or other
instruments that permit withdrawals shall be subject to the provisions of such
contracts or instruments, including any penalty provisions.

     7.9 Suspension or Termination. The Committee shall have the absolute
and unqualified right to suspend or terminate any and all rights of withdrawal
or to delay the effective date of any and all withdrawals if it, in its sole
discretion, determines that such action is desirable or necessary to maintain
the status of the Plan and Trust as qualified under the provisions of section
401 of the Code, or any other section of the Code which supersedes such section,
or for any other reason determined by the committee, in its sole discretion,
including without limitation the absence or insufficiency of appropriate
facilities, equipment, personnel, computer systems or other resources or
administrative procedures for processing withdrawals.

     7.10 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

          (a) The payments or other benefits which a Participant is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Plan shall be paid in accordance with the
applicable requirements of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                                       36

          (b) Treatment of Spouse. To the extent provided in any
Qualified Domestic Relations Order the former spouse of a Participant shall be
treated as a surviving spouse of such Participant for purposes of Beneficiary
designation pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.

          (c) Procedures Upon Receipt of Domestic Relations Order. Upon
receipt of any Domestic Relations Order by the Plan:

               (1) The Committee shall promptly notify the Participant
and any other Alternate Payee of the receipt of such order and the Plan's
procedures for determining the qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders.

               (2) Within a reasonable period after receipt of such
order, the Committee shall determine whether such order is a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order and notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such
determination. The Committee shall establish reasonable procedures in accordance
with section 206(d) of ERISA and regulations thereunder to determine the
qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders and to administer distributions
under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

               (3) During any period in which the issue of whether a
Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being
determined (by the Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or
otherwise), the Committee shall segregate in any manner it deems appropriate the
amounts which would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period
if the Order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

               (4) If within 18 months from the date the first payment
would have been required to be paid under the Domestic Relations Order, the
order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order, the Plan shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest
thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto.

               (5) If within 18 months from the date the first payment
would have been required to be paid under the Domestic Relations Order, it is
determined that the Order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or the
issue as to whether such Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not
resolved, then the Plan shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest
thereon) to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such amount if
there had been no Order.

               (6) Any determination that an order is a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order which is made after the close of the 18.month period
from the date the first payment would have been required to be paid under the
Domestic Relations Order shall be applied prospectively only.

                                       37

     7.11 Direct Rollover. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the

Rollover.

      ARTICLE XIV - AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS

     14.1 Amendment.

          (a) The Employers jointly, and each Employer with reference to
the fund from time to time held for the benefit of its Employees and with
respect to its Employer contributions and contributions of its Employees,
separately, reserve the power to change, amend, modify, or alter any of the
provisions of this Plan at any time or to transfer the funds or part thereof to
a new trust fund for the Participants' benefit except that no such amendment,
modification, or alteration shall be exercised retroactively to alter or change
the rights of Participants or their Beneficiaries insofar as they relate to past
contributions, nor subject to the provisions of Article XIV and Section 4.5(b)
hereof, shall any such amendment vest in any Employer any right, title or
interest in and to any assets of the Trust Fund, divest any Participant of any
credit theretofore entered in his or her Cash or Deferred Account or permit any
part of the assets to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the
exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries. No amendment shall
require approval by the shareholders of any Employer. No amendment which affects
the powers, duties or responsibilities of the Trustee shall be effective until
consented to in writing by the Trustee.

          (b) Should any amendment to this Plan amend the vesting
schedule, a Participant whose nonforfeitable percentage of his or her accrued
benefit derived from Employer contributions is determined under such schedule
and who has at least three years of service with an Employer, may elect to have
the nonforfeitable percentage of his or her accrued benefit derived from
Employer contributions determined without regard to such amendment. Such
election must be made during the period beginning with the date the amended is
adopted and ending no earlier than the latest of the following dates:

               (1) the date which is 60 days after the day the amendment
was adopted;

               (2) the date which is 60 days after the day the plan
amendment becomes effective;
or

          (3) the date which is 60 days after the day the participant
is issued written notice of the plan amendment by the Employer or plan
administrator.

     14.2 Termination. The Employers or any Employer insofar as it is
concerned may discontinue this Plan or any Plan Account by giving written notice
to the Committee and to the Trustee. In the event of a complete discontinuance
or a termination or partial termination within the meaning of section 411(d)(3)
of the Code and the regulations thereunder, or in the event of the dissolution
of any corporation or party hereto (except the dissolution of a subsidiary whose
parent is a party hereto), or in the case of adjudication of any such 

                                       44

corporation as a bankrupt, or the loss of the corporate existence of any such
corporation, or a merger into another corporation or corporations which shall
not assume the obligations of this Plan, the Plan or the discontinued Plan
Account shall terminate as to the affected Participants and the portion of the
assets then comprising the Trust Fund allocable to such Participants, as
determined by the Committee, shall be distributed among all such Participants in
proportion to their interest. Employee CODA Contributions shall be distributed
as in accordance with the provisions contained in section 401(k)(10) of the
Code.

     15.2 Directions to Trustee. Each Participant may direct the Trustee to
sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of Allocated Stock in
accordance with the provisions, conditions and terms of such Tender Offer and
the provisions of this Article XV. Such directions from Participants shall be
confidential and shall not be divulged by the Trustee to anyone, including the
Employers or any director, officer, Employee or agent of the Employers, it being
the intent of this Section 15.2 to ensure that the Employers (and their
directors, officers, Employees and agents) cannot determine the direction given
by any Participant. Such directions shall be in such form and shall be filed in
such manner and at such time as the Trustee may prescribe. The confidentiality
provision of this Section shall likewise apply to the decisions of the Trustee
made pursuant to Section 15.4 hereof.

     15.3 Trustee Action On Participant Directions. The Trustee shall sell,
offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of Allocated Stock pursuant to a
Tender Offer with respect to which it has received directions from Participants
to do so under this Article XV. The proceeds of a disposition of Allocated Stock
directed by a Participant from his or her Plan Accounts under this Article XV
shall be allocated to the Participant's Plan Accounts from which the Raytheon
Stock was taken and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 15.5 hereof.
To the extent Participants do not validly direct the Trustee to sell, offer to

of such shares pursuant to such Tender Offer.

     15.4 Trustee Action on Unallocated Raytheon Stock. The Trustee shall
sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of only that number of shares
of Unallocated Raytheon Stock that bears the same ratio to the total of all

offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of bears to the total number of
shares of Allocated Stock in the Plan Accounts of Participants. The proceeds of

exchange or other disposition of Raytheon Stock by the Trustee pursuant to a
Tender Offer and in accordance with this Article XV, the following provisions
shall apply.

          (a) In the event that, immediately following completion of the

disposed of.

          (c) Pending the investment of the proceeds from a sale,
exchange or other disposition of Raytheon Stock in accordance with this Section

available, the proceeds from such sale, exchange or other disposition of
Raytheon Stock shall be invested in such manner as the Trustee (or investment
manager appointed by the Board of Directors for such purpose) in its discretion
shall from time to time determine.


                       ARTICLE XVI - TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

     16.1 General. The provisions of this Article XVI shall apply if and
only if the Plan shall become Top-Heavy with respect to a Plan Year. In the
event the Plan is determined to be Top-Heavy with respect to a Plan Year, the
provisions of this Article XVI shall apply during such Plan Year in lieu of any
conflicting provisions set forth elsewhere in the Plan with respect to benefit
accrual, vesting, entitlement to benefits, commencement of benefit payments, and
rights of Participants or others under this Plan. None of the provisions set
forth in this Article XVI shall apply to benefit accrual, vesting, entitlement
to benefits, commencement of benefit payments, and rights of Participants or
others during any Plan Year with respect to which this Plan is not determined to
be Top-Heavy, regardless of whether such Plan Year occurs before or after a Plan
Year with respect to which this Plan is determined to be Top-Heavy, provided,
however, that any benefit accrual, vesting, entitlement to benefits,
commencement of benefit payments, or rights of Participants or others which are
protected under sections 411(a)(10) and 411(d)(6) of the Code which accrue
during any Plan Year with respect to which this Plan is determined to be
Top-Heavy, shall not be reduced thereafter. 

                                       46

     16.2 Minimum Employer Contributions.

          (a) The minimum amount of CODA Contributions pursuant to the
Plan for each Participant who is not a Key Employee and who does not participate
in a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company of
RTIS which is qualified under section 401(a) of the Code shall be not less than
three percent of such Participant's Compensation during the Plan Year, but such
percent shall be reduced, if necessary, to a percent not exceeding the percent
of Compensation (disregarding any Compensation in excess of $150,000)
contributed under theCash or Deferred Account and any other salary reduction
agreement for the Participant who is the Key Employee during such Plan Year
receiving the highest contributions and Forfeitures from the Cash or Deferred
Account or any other salary reduction agreement for the Plan Year. For purposes
of determining the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee for a year in which
the plan is Top-Heavy under section 416 of the Code, Employer CODA Contributions
must be included in determining the percentage. When providing for the minimum
contribution hereunder pursuant to section 416(c) of the Code, the Employer CODA
Contributions made on behalf of non-Key Employees shall not be considered.

          (b) For purposes of this Section, the term "Compensation"
shall have the meaning set forth for such term in Section 2.35 hereof. For
purposes of determining if the minimum contributions set forth herein have been
made in any Plan Year, all Employer contributions made for participants in all
U.S. tax qualified defined contribution plans maintained by RTIS and its
Subsidiaries shall be added to the contributions made for Participants pursuant
to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employer maintains more than
one plan which is Top-Heavy, each Employee covered under both a defined
contribution plan and a defined benefit plan which are top-heavy will receive
the defined benefit minimum contribution in the defined benefit plan offset by
the benefits provided under this and any other Top-Heavy defined contribution
plan, provided that if the provisions of Section 16.4 hereof do not apply, i.e.,
1.0 is not substituted for 1.25, then the defined benefit minimum contribution
will be increased by one percentage point (to a maximum of 10 percentage points)
per year of service.

     16.3 Top-Heavy. The Plan shall be "Top-Heavy" during a Plan Year if, as
of the Determination Date, the aggregate of the accounts of all Participants who
are Key Employees exceeds 60 percent of the aggregate of the accounts of all
Participants. For purposes of determining if the foregoing condition is met:

          (a) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of
all participants in all U.S. tax qualified defined benefit plans, and the
aggregate of the accounts of all participants in all U.S. tax qualified defined
contribution plans, maintained by RTIS or any subsidiary of RTIS in which a Key
Employee is a participant and all plans in the Required Aggregation Group shall
be added to the aggregate of all accounts under this Plan; 

                                       47

          (b) all distributions made to participants under this Plan and
all such other plans during the five-year period ending on the Determination
Date shall be included;

          (c) rollover contributions to this Plan or any other plan
described in this paragraph initiated by a participant shall be excluded;

          (d) the accrued benefits and accounts of any participant who
has performed no services for an Employer under this or any such other plan
during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date shall be
disregarded; and

          (e) a participant who was a Key Employee on the Determination
Date but who ceased to be a Key Employee in the following Plan Year shall not be
considered a Key Employee for purposes of the determination.

     16.4 Limitations on Annual Additions. "1.0" shall be substituted for
"1.25" in the definitions of the terms "Defined Benefit Fraction" and "Defined
Contribution Fraction" unless (i) the requirements in Section 16.3 hereof are
met when the provisions of such Section 16.2 hereof are applied by substituting
"four percent" for "three percent" therein and (ii) this Plan would not be
Top-Heavy if "90 percent" were substituted for "60 percent" in Section 16.3
hereof.

This Plan shall be effective as of July 11, 1997, subject to the
approval of the Internal Revenue Service.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument is executed as of the 11th day of
July, 1997.

                           RAYTHEON SALARIED SAVINGS
                          AND INVESTMENT PLAN (10011)

                          Effective December 18, 1997


                                   ARTICLE I
                           Establishment of the Plan

        1.1  Establishment  of the  Plan.  The  Raytheon  Salaried  Savings  and
Investment  Plan (10011)  (the  "Plan"),  which is effective  December 18, 1997,
provides  Participants  with a  tax-effective  means of  allocating a portion of
their salary to be invested in one or more investment opportunities specified in
the  Plan  and  set  aside  for  the  short-term  and  long-term  needs  of  the
Participants.  The Plan also provides  retirement  benefits for  Participants or
their  Beneficiaries in the event a Participant  becomes disabled or dies before
retirement.  It  is  intended  that  the  Plan  will  comply  with  all  of  the
requirements  for a qualified  profit  sharing  plan under  sections  401(a) and
401(k) of the Code and will be amended from time to time to maintain  compliance
with these requirements.  The terms used in the Plan have the meanings specified
in ARTICLE XIV unless the context indicates  otherwise.  The Plan is intended to
constitute a plan  described in section 404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, 2550.404(c)-1.  Participants in the Plan are responsible
for selecting  their own  investment  opportunities  from the options  available
under the Plan and the Plan  Fiduciaries  are relieved of any  liability for any
losses which are a direct and necessary result of investment  instructions given
by a Participant or Beneficiary.

        1.2     Trust. The Trust shall be the sole source of benefits under the
Plan and the Adopting Employers or any Affiliate shall not have any liability
for the adequacy of the benefits provided under the Plan.

        1.3     Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of December 18,
1997, or such other dates as may be specifically provided herein or as otherwise
required by law for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of section 401(a) of
the Code.

        1.4     Adoption of Plan.  With the prior approval of the Board of
Directors or an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of Directors to
give such approval, the Plan and Trust may be adopted by any corporation
(hereinafter referred to as an Adopting Employer).  Such adoption shall be made
by the Adopting Employer filing with the Administrator and Trustee a certified
copy of a board of directors (or equivalent) resolution adopting the Plan and
Trust.  The Administrator may require the Adopting Employer to take such further
actions as it deems appropriate to the proper adoption and operation of the Plan
and Trust.  In the event of the adoption of the Plan and Trust by an Adopting
Employer, the Plan and Trust shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
such adoption.

                                       2

        1.5     Withdrawal of Adopting Employer.

                (a)  An  Adopting  Employer's  adoption  of  this  Plan  may  be
terminated,  voluntarily  or  involuntarily,  at any time,  as  provided in this
section.

                (b) An Adopting  Employer shall withdraw from the Plan and Trust
if the Plan and Trust, with respect to that Adopting  Employer,  fail to qualify
under  sections  401(a)  and  501(a)  of the Code  (or,  in the  opinion  of the
Administrator,  they may fail to so qualify) and the  continued  sponsorship  of
that Adopting  Employer may jeopardize the status with respect to the Company or
the remaining  Adopting  Employers,  of the Plan and Trust under sections 401(a)
and 501(a) of the Code. The Adopting Emp shall receive at least thirty (30) days
prior written  notice of a withdrawal  under this  subsection,  unless a shorter
period is agreed to.

                (c)     An Adopting Employer may voluntarily withdraw from the
Plan and Trust for any reason.  Such withdrawal requires at least thirty (30)
days written notice to the Administrator and the Trustee, unless a shorter
period is agreed to.

                (d)     Upon withdrawal, the Trustee shall segregate the assets
attributable to Employees of the withdrawn Adopting Employer, the amount thereof
to be determined by the Administrator and the Trustee.  The segregated assets
shall be held, paid to another trust, distributed or otherwise disposed of as is
appropriate under the circumstances; provided, however, that any transfer shall
be for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries.  A
withdrawal of an Adopting Employer from the Plan is not necessarily a
termination  under ARTICLE XII. If the withdrawal is a termination, then the
provisions of ARTICLE XII shall also be applicable.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                  Eligibility

nondiscriminatory basis.

which the Participant remains an Eligible Employee will continue as an active
Participant of the Plan.

        2.4     Transfer to Position Not Covered by Plan.  If a Participant is

provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service
credit with respect to Qualified Military Service will be provided in accordance
with section 414(u) of the Code.

Adopting Employer, but the total of such Matching Contributions for any
Participant shall not exceed four percent (4%) of a Participant's Compensation

          3.6 Forfeitures. (a) In the event that a Participant incurs a
Severance from Service before attaining a Nonforfeitable right to his or her
Matching Contributions, the Matching Contribution Account will be forfeited as
of the first day of the month immediately following the earliest of: (i) the
date on which the Participant incurs a Period of Severance of five (5)
consecutive years; (ii) death; or (iii) the date on which the Participant's
Elective Deferral Account is distributed in accordance with ARTICLE VI.
Forfeitures of Matching Contributions will be used to reduce future
contributions of the Adopting Employers to the Plan.

                (b) If, in connection with his or her Severance from Service,  a
Participant received a distribution of his or her Elective Deferral Account when

3.7(a) shall be credited to the Participant's Rollover Contribution Account and
will be invested upon receipt by the Trustee;

                                       6

          (6) a Rollover Contribution will not be accepted unless (A) the
Employee on whose behalf the Rollover Contribution will be made is either a
Participant or an Eligible Employee who has notified the Administrator that he
or she intends to become a Participant on the first date on which he or she is
eligible therefor, and (B) all required information, including selection of
specific investment accounts, is provided to the Recordkeeper - when a Rollover

future deferrals or transfer of account balances between investment funds will
be effected through the procedures set forth in sections 4.2 and 4.3; and

transfers in accordance with Treas. Regs. section 1.411(d)-4 Q&A-3(b), directly
from another plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code only if the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, agrees to accept such a transfer. In
determining whether to accept such a transfer, the Administrator shall consider
the administrative inconvenience engendered by such a transfer and any risks to
the continued qualification Plan under section 401(a) of the Code. Acceptance of
any such transfer shall not preclude the Administrator from refusing any such
subsequent transfers.

respects, however, transferred assets will be subject to the provisions of the
Plan. The Administrator may, but is not required to, describe in Exhibit B to
this Plan the special provisions that must be preserved under section 411(d)(6)
of the Code, if any, following the transfer of assets from another plan in
accordance with this subsection.

          (3) Assets accepted under this section shall be fully vested and

including after-tax contributions, to the Plan in accordance with this section

          3.8 Refund of Contributions to the Adopting Employers. Notwithstanding
the provisions of ARTICLE XII, if, or to the extent that, any Adopting

contributions for a period of one (1) year from the date of disallowance. For
this purpose, all contributions are made, other than Employee After-Tax
Contributions, subject to the condition that they are deductible under the Code
for the taxable year of the Adopting Employers for which the contributions are

each Plan Year within the time prescribed by law,  including  extensions granted

          Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions allocable to the
          Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees shall not in any Plan Year
          exceed the limits specified in this section. The Administrator may
          make the adjustments authorized in this section to ensure that the
          limits of subsection (b) (or any other applicable limits) are not
          exceeded, regardless of whether such adjustments affect some
          Participants more than others. This section shall be administered and
          interpreted in accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code

          Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

               (A) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Actual Deferral
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants; or

               (B) the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual
Deferral Percentage for all other Eligible Participants or the Actual Deferral
Percentage for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2) percentage points.

          (2) The Actual Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated
          Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

               (A)one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Actual
Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Participants; or

               (B) the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual
Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Participants or the Actual
Contribution Percentage for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2)
percentage points.

                                       8

          (3) The sum of the Actual Deferral Percentage and the Actual
Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed,
in any Plan Year, the sum of:

               (A) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the greater of:

(i) the Actual Deferral Percentage of the other Eligible Participants; or

(ii) the Actual Contribution Percentage of the other Eligible Participants; and

               (B) two plus the lesser of:

(i) the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i); or

(ii) the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii); provided that the amount in this
paragraph (3)(B) shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the lesser of
the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i) or the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii).

          (4)  The limitations under section 3.10(b)(3) shall be modified to
reflect any higher limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Service under
 regulations, notices or other official statements.

          (c) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

(1) Actual Contribution  Percentage.  The average of the ratios for a designated
group of Employees  (calculated  separately for each Eligible Participant in the
group)  of  the  sum  of  the   Matching   Contributions,   Employee   After-Tax
Contributions,  Qualified Nonelective Contributions (other than those treated as
part of the Actual  Deferral  Percentage),  and Elective  Deferrals  (other than
those  treated  as part of the Actual  Deferral  Percentage)  allocated  for the
applicable  year on  behalf of the  Participant,  divided  by the  Participant's
Compensation for such applicable year. The "applicable year" for determining the
Actual  Contribution  Percentage for the group of Highly  Compensated  Employees
shall be the  current  Plan  Year.  For all  other  Eligible  Participants,  the
"applicable  year" for determining the Actual  Contribution  Percentage shall be
the  immediately  preceding Plan Year,  unless in accordance with the procedures
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,  the Administrator elects to use the
current Plan Year.

(2) Actual Deferral Percentage. The average of the ratios for a designated group
of Eligible Participants (calculated separately for each Eligible Participant in
the group) of the sum of the Elective Deferrals and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions (other than those treated as part of the Actual Contribution
Percentage) allocated for the applicable year on behalf of a Participant,
divided by the Participant's Compensation for such applicable year. The
"applicable year" for determining the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group
of Highly Compensated Employees shall be the current Plan Year. For all other
Eligible Participants, the "applicable year" for determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage shall be the immediately preceding Plan Year, unless in accordance
with the procedures prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, the
Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

(3) Compensation.  The Employee's wages that are required to be reported on IRS
Form W-2, increased by any Elective Deferrals made by the Employer on behalf of
the Employee under this Plan or any other plan of the Employer with a qualified
cash or deferred arrangement under section 401(k) of the Code and any pre-tax
elective contributions made by the Employer that are excludible from the
Employee's income under section 125 of the Code.

                                       9

(4) Eligible Participant. Any Employee of an Adopting Employer who is authorized
under the terms of the Plan to make Elective Deferrals or have Qualified
Nonelective Contributions allocated to his or her Account for the Plan Year.
(d) For purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the Actual Contribution
Percentage test of section 401(m), all employee and matching  contributions that
are made  under  two (2) or more  plans  that are  aggregated  for  purposes  of
sections  401(a)(4) and 410(b) (other than section  410(b)(2)(A)(ii))  are to be
treated  as made  under a  single  plan and  that if two (2) or more  plans  are
permissively  aggregated for purposes of section  401(m),  the aggregated  plans
must also  satisfy  sections  401(a)(4)  and 410(b) as though they were a single
plan.

(e) In calculating the Actual Contribution Percentage for purposes of section
401(m), the actual contribution ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee will be
determined by treating all plans subject to section 401(m) under which the
Highly Compensated Employee is eligible (other than those that may not be
permissively aggregated) as a single plan.

(f) For purposes of  determining  whether a plan  satisfies the Actual  Deferral
Percentage  test of section  401(k),  all elective  contributions  that are made
under  two (2) or more  plans  that  are  aggregated  for  purposes  of  section
401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than section  410(b)(2)(A)(ii))  are to be treated as
made  under a single  plan and that if two (2) or more  plans  are  permissively
aggregated  for  purposes  of section  401(k),  the  aggregated  plans must also
satisfy sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as though they were a single plan.

(g) In calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage for purposes of section
401(k), the actual deferral ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee will be
determined by treating all cash or deferred arrangements under which the Highly
Compensated Employee is eligible (other than those that may not be permissively
aggregated) as a single arrangement.

(h)  An elective contribution will be taken into account under the Actual
Deferral Percentage test of section 401(k)(3)(A) of the Code for a Plan Year
only if it is allocated to the Employee as of a date within that Plan Year.
For this purpose, an elective contribution is considered allocated as of a date
within a Plan Year if the allocation is not contingent on participation or
performance of services after such date and the elective contribution is
actually paid to the Trust no later than twelve (12) months after the Plan Year
to which the contribution relates.

     3.11    Correction of Excess Contributions.

(a) Excess Contributions shall be corrected as provided in this section. The
Administrator may also prevent anticipated Excess Contributions as provided in
this section. The Administrator may use any method of correction or prevention
provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it determines in its
sole discretion. This section shall be administered and interpreted in
accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b) The  Administrator  may  refuse to accept  any or all  prospective  Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c) (1) An Adopting Employer may, in its sole discretion, elect to contribute,
as provided in section 3.2, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution in an amount
necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section 3.10.

                                       10

(2) Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be allocated
to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees.
Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated first to the Participant
with the lowest Compensation for that Plan Year and any remaining Qualified
Nonelective Contributions thereafter shall be allocated to the Participant with
the next lowest Compensation for that Plan Year. This allocation method shall
continue in ascending order of Compensation until all such Qualified Nonelective
Contributions are allocated. The allocation to any Participant shall not exceed
the limits under section 415 of the Code. If two or more Participants have
identical Compensation, the allocations to them shall be proportional.

(3) Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be contributed to
the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such Plan Year.

(4) Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall only be allocated to Participants
who receive Compensation during the Plan Year for which such contribution is
made.

(d) The Administrator may, during a Plan Year, distribute to a Participant (or
such Participant's Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased), any or all
Excess Contributions or Excess Deferrals (whether Elective Deferrals or
Qualified Nonelective Contributions) allocable to that Participant's Account for
that Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan. Such
distribution may include earnings or losses (if any) attributable to such
amounts, as determined by the Administrator.

(e) (1) The Administrator may recharacterize any or all Excess Contributions for
a  Plan  Year  as  Employee  After-Tax  Contributions  in  accordance  with  the
provisions  of  this   subsection.   Any  Excess   Contributions   that  are  so
recharacterized  shall be treated as if the  Participant  had elected to instead
receive cash  Compensation on the earliest date that any Elective  Deferral made
on behalf of the  Participant  during the Plan Year would have been received had
the  Participant  originally  elected  to receive  such  amount in cash and then
contributed  such amount as an Employee  After-Tax  Contribution.  To the extent
required by the Internal Revenue Service,  however, such recharacterized  Excess
Contributions  shall  continue  to  be  treated  as if  such  amounts  were  not
recharacterized.

(2) The Administrator shall report any recharacterized Excess Contributions as
Employee After-Tax Contributions to the Internal Revenue Service and to the
affected Participants at such times and in accordance with such procedures as
are required by the Internal Revenue Service. The Administrator shall take such
other actions regarding the amounts so recharacterized as may be required by the
Internal Revenue Service.

(3) Excess Contributions may not be recharacterized under this subsection more
than two and one-half (21/2) months after the close of the Plan Year to which
the recharacterization relates. Recharacterization is deemed to occur when the
Participant is so notified (as required by the Internal Revenue Service).

(4) The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable year
ending in the same Plan Year and Excess Deferrals to be distributed for a
taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed or
recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

                                       11

(f) (1) The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Contributions for a
Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. Such
distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan Year and within twelve
(12) months of the close of such Plan Year. In the event of the termination of
the Plan, such distribution shall be made within twelve (12) months after such
termination. Such distribution shall include the income allocable to the amounts
so distributed, as determined under this subsection. The Administrator may make
any special allocations of earnings or losses necessary to carry out the
provisions of this subsection. A distribution of an Excess Contribution under
this subsection may be made without regard to any notice or consent otherwise
required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

(2)(A) The income allocable to Excess Contributions distributed under this
subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year. Income
includes all earnings and appreciation, including such items as interest,
dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the
value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property,
without regard to whether such appreciation has been realized.

(B) The allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year may be determined under any
reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator. Alternatively, the
Administrator may, in its discretion, determine such allocable gain or loss for
the Plan Year under the method set forth in subparagraph (C).

(C)  Under  this  method,  the  allocable  gain or loss  for  the  Plan  Year is
determined  by  multiplying  the income for the Plan Year  allocable to Elective
Deferrals  (and  amounts  treated as  Elective  Deferrals)  by a  fraction,  the
numerator of which is the Excess  Contributions  by the Participant for the Plan
Year  and  the  denominator  of  which  is  the  total  Account  balance  of the
Participant  attributable to Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective
Deferrals)  as of the  beginning  of the Plan Year,  increased  by any  Elective
Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by the Participant for the
Plan Year.

          (3) Amounts distributed under this subsection (or other provisions of
this section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's
subaccounts in the following order:

(A)  from  the   Participant's   Elective   Deferral  Account  (if  such  Excess
Contribution is attributable to Elective Deferrals); and

(B) from the Participant's  Qualified Nonelective  Contribution Account (if such
Excess Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective Contributions).

(g) (1) The term "Excess Contributions" shall mean, with respect to a Plan Year,
the  excess of the  Elective  Deferrals  (including  any  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions and Matching  Contributions that are treated as Elective Deferrals
under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code) on behalf of eligible Highly
Compensated  Employees  for the  Plan  Year  over  the  maximum  amount  of such
contributions  permitted under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code. For
this purpose,  the maximum  amount of  contributions  permitted  under  sections
401(k)(2) and  401(k)(3) of the Code shall be determined in accordance  with the
leveling method prescribed in Treas.  Regs.  section  1.401(k)-1(f)(2),  or such
other method as promulgated thereafter.

                                       12

(2) Any distribution or  recharacterization  of Excess  Contributions for a Plan
Year,  as determined  under  subsection  (1) above,  shall be made to the Highly
Compensated  Employees  on the basis of the  amount of  contributions  by, or on
behalf  of,  each  such  Highly  Compensated  Employee  in  accordance  with the
procedure  described herein. The Highly  Compensated  Employees with the highest
amount  of  contributions   shall  have  their   contributions   distributed  or
recharacterized to the extent required to eliminate the Excess Contributions or,
if it  results  in a lower  distribution  or  recharacterization,  to the extent
required to cause such Highly Compensated Employees'  contributions to equal the
amount  of  contributions  of the  Highly  Compensated  Employees  with the next
highest  level of  contributions.  This  procedure  shall be repeated  until the
Excess Contributions are completely distributed or recharacterized.

(3) The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable year
ending in the same Plan Year and Excess Deferrals to be distributed for a
taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed or
recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

        3.12    Correction of Excess Deferrals.

(a)     Excess Deferrals shall be corrected as provided in this section.  The
Administrator may also prevent anticipated Excess Deferrals as provided in this
section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction or prevention
provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it determines in its
sole discretion. A distribution of an Excess Deferral under this section may be
made without regard to any notice or consent otherwise required pursuant to
sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.  This section shall be administered
and interpreted in accordance with sections 401(k) and 402(g) of the Code.

(b) The  Administrator  may  refuse to accept  any or all  prospective  Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Deferrals to
the Participant on whose behalf such Excess Deferrals were made before the close
of the Applicable Taxable Year.  Distributions under this subsection include
income allocable to the Excess Distribution so distributed, as determined under
this subsection.

(2)  Distribution  under this subsection shall only be made if all the following
conditions are satisfied:

        (A)     the Participant seeking the distribution designates the 
distribution as an Excess Deferral;

        (B) the  distribution  is made after the date the Excess Deferral is 
received by the Plan; and

        (C)  the  Plan  designates  the  distribution  as a  distribution 
of an  Excess Deferral.

(3) The income allocable to the Excess Deferral distributed under this
subsection shall be determined in the same manner as under subsection (d)(3),
except that income shall only be determined for the period from the beginning of
the Applicable Taxable Year to the date on which the distribution is made.

                                       13

(d) (1) The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Deferrals to the
Participant on whose behalf such Excess Deferrals were made after the close of
the Applicable Taxable Year. Distribution under this subsection shall only be
made if the Participant timely provides the notice required under subsection
(d)(2) and such distribution is made after the Applicable Taxable Year and
before the first April 15 following the close of the Applicable Taxable Year.
Distributions under this subsection shall include income allocable to the Excess
Deferrals so distributed, as determined under this subsection.

(2) Any Participant seeking a distribution of an Excess Deferral in accordance
with this subsection must notify the Administrator of such request no later than
the first March 15 following the close of the Applicable Taxable Year. The
Administrator may agree to accept notification received after such date (but
before the first April 15 following the close of the Applicable Taxable Year) if
it determines that it would still be administratively practicable to make such
distribution in view of the delayed notification. The notification required by
this subsection shall be deemed made if a Participant's Elective Deferrals to
the Plan in any Plan Year create an Excess Deferral.

(3) The income allocable to the Excess Deferral distributed under this
subsection shall be determined in the same manner as under section 3.11(f)(2),
except that the term "Excess Deferrals" shall be substituted for "Excess
Contributions" and the term "Applicable Taxable Year" shall be substituted for
"Plan Year." The Administrator may make any special allocations of earnings or
losses necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.

(e) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

          (1) Applicable Taxable Year. The taxable year (for federal income tax
purposes) of the Participant in which an Excess Deferral must be included in
gross income (when made) in accordance with section 402(g) of the Code.

          (2) Excess Deferral. A Participant's Elective Deferrals (and other
contributions limited by section 402(g) of the Code), for an Applicable Taxable
Year that are in excess of the limits imposed by section 402(g) of the Code for
such Applicable Taxable Year.

        3.13    Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a) Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be corrected as provided in this
section. The Administrator may use any method of correction or prevention
provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it determines in its
sole discretion. This section shall be administered and interpreted in
accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b) The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed to a Participant.

(c) (1) The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to contribute, as
provided in section 3.2, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution in an amount
necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section 3.10.

                                       14

(2) Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be allocated
to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees.
Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated first to the Participant
with the lowest Compensation for that Plan Year and any remaining Qualified
Nonelective Contributions thereafter shall be allocated to the Participant with
the next lowest compensation for that Plan Year. This allocation method shall
continue in ascending order of Compensation until all such Qualified Nonelective
Contributions are allocated. The allocation to any Participant shall not exceed
the limits under section 415 of the Code. If two or more Participants have
identical Compensation, the allocations to them shall be proportional.

(3) Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be contributed to
the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such Plan Year.

(4) Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall only be allocated to Participants
who receive Compensation during the Plan Year for which such contribution is
made.

(d) The Administrator may, during a Plan Year, distribute to a Participant (or
such Participant's Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased), any or all
Excess Aggregate Contributions allocable to that Participant's Account for that
Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan. Such distribution
may include earnings or losses (if any) attributable to such amounts, as
determined by the Administrator.

(e) (1) The Administrator may forfeit any or all Excess Aggregate Contributions
for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. The
amounts so forfeited shall not include any amounts that are nonforfeitable under
ARTICLE V. (2) Any forfeitures under this subsection shall be made in accordance
with the procedures for distributions under subsection (f) except that such
amounts shall be forfeited instead of being distributed.

(f) (1) The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Aggregate
Contributions for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection. Such distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan Year
and within twelve (12) months of the close of such Plan Year. Such distributions
shall be specifically designated by the Administrator as a distribution of
Excess Aggregate Contributions. In the event of the complete termination of the
Plan, such distribution shall be made within twelve (12) months after such
termination. Such distribution shall include the income allocable to the amounts
so distributed, as determined under this subsection. The Administrator may make
any special allocations of earnings or losses necessary to carry out the
provisions of this subsection. A distribution of an Excess Aggregate
Contribution under this subsection may be made without regard to any notice or
consent otherwise required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

(2) (A) The income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions distributed under
this subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year. Income
includes all earnings and appreciation, including such items as interest,
dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the
value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property,
without regard to whether such appreciation has been realized.

                                       15

(B) The allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year may be determined under any
reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator. Alternatively, the
Administrator may, in its discretion, determine such allocable gain or loss for
the Plan Year under the method set forth in subparagraph (C).

(C)  Under  this  method,  the  allocable  gain or loss  for  the  Plan  Year is
determined  by  multiplying  the income for the Plan Year  allocable to employee
contributions,   matching   contributions   and  amounts   treated  as  matching
contributions  by a fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the Excess  Aggregate
Contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of which
is the  total  Account  balance  of the  Participant  attributable  to  employee
contributions,   matching   contributions   and  amounts   treated  as  matching
contributions  as of the  beginning of the Plan Year,  increased by the employee
contributions,   matching   contributions   and  amounts   treated  as  matching
contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year.

(3) Amounts distributed under this subsection (or other provisions of this
section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's Account
in the following order:

          (A) from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account
(if such Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions);

          (B) from the Participant's Employee After-Tax Contribution Account (if
such Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Employee After-Tax
Contributions); and

          (C) from the Participant's Matching Contribution subaccount (if such
Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Matching Contributions).

(g) (1) The term "Excess Aggregate Contributions" shall mean, with respect to a
Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of the matching contributions and
employee contributions (including any Qualified Nonelective Contributions or
elective deferrals taken into account in computing the Actual Contribution
Percentage) actually made on behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for
the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under
section 401(m)(2)(A) of the Code. For this purpose, the maximum amount of
contributions permitted under section 401(m)(2)(A) of the Code shall be
determined in accordance with the leveling method described in section
3.11(g)(1) of the Plan.

          (2) Any distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan
Year, as determined under subsection (1) above, shall be made to the Highly
Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by, or on
behalf of, each such Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with the
procedure described herein. The Highly Compensated Employees with the highest
amount of contributions shall have their contributions distributed to the extent
required to eliminate the Excess Aggregate Contributions or, if it results in a
lower distribution, to the extent required to cause such Highly Compensated
Employees' Contributions to equal the amount of contributions of the Highly
Compensated Employees with the next highest level of contributions. This
procedure shall be repeated until the Excess Aggregate Contributions are
completely distributed.

                                       16

          (3) The terms "employee contributions" and "matching contributions"
shall, for purposes of this section, have the meanings set forth in Treas. Reg.
1.401(m)-1(f).

        3.14    Correction of Multiple Use.

(a) If the limitations of Treas. Reg. 1.401(m)-2 are exceeded for any Plan Year,
then correction shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this section.
This section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with sections
401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b) Any correction required by this section shall be calculated and administered
in accordance with the provisions for correcting Excess Contributions (in
section 3.11), Excess Aggregate Contributions (in section 3.13) or both, as the
Administrator determines in its sole discretion. Any correction required by this
section, to the extent possible, shall be made only with respect to those Highly
Compensated Employees who are eligible in both the arrangement subject to
section 401(k) of the Code and the Plan, as subject to section 401(m) of the
Code.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                             Investment of Accounts

        4.1     Election of Investment Funds.

          (a) Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c) below,
upon enrollment in the Plan, each Participant shall direct that the funds in the
Participant's Account be invested in increments of one percent (1%) in one or
more of the following investment funds:

 (1) Fund A.  An equity fund designated by the Administrator;

 (2) Fund B. A fixed income fund designated by the Administrator;

 (3) Fund C.  Common Stock fund;

 (4) Fund D. A stock index fund designated by the Administrator;

 (5) Fund E.  A balanced fund designated by the Administrator;

 (6) Fund F.  A growth fund designated by the Administrator, investing primarily
in equities of companies of all types and sizes;

 (7) Fund G.  A growth fund designated by the Administrator, investing primarily
in equities of well-known and established companies;

 (8) Fund H. General Motors Class H stock fund;

 (9) Fund I. Raytheon Company Class A stock fund.

(b) Amounts contributed to a Participant's Matching Contribution Account must be
invested in Fund C (Common Stock fund) until the end of two (2) full Plan Years
following the Plan Year for which such contributions are made. Thereafter, a
Participant may designate the investment of the Matching Contribution funds in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) above.

                                       17

(c) The only assets that may be invested in Fund H or Fund I are the General
Motors Class H stock and cash directly transferred from the Hughes Salaried
Employee's Thrift and Savings Plan pursuant to section 3.7(b)(4). A Participant
may not direct that any other funds in the Participant's Account be invested in
Fund H or Fund I. Notwithstanding subsection (d) below, the Administrator shall
maintain Fund H and Fund I as investment options under the Plan, subject to the
limitations prescribed in this subsection (c), for five (5) complete Plan Years
following the Effective Date; provided, however, that if at any time prior to
the expiration of such five (5) year period, the aggregate fair market value of
the assets invested in either Fund H or Fund I falls below five percent (5%) of
the highest fair market value of the assets invested in Fund H or Fund I,
respectively, the Administrator may, with six (6) months written notice to
affected Participants, eliminate Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, as investment
options under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may
eliminate one or both funds at any time if the Administrator determines in good
faith that such elimination is necessary under applicable law (including without
limitation the prudence requirements of ERISA). When Fund H and Fund I are
eliminated in accordance with this section 4.1(c), Participants with assets
invested in Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, shall direct the transfer of such
assets to other funds available under the Plan or, if no such election is made,
the Administrator shall transfer such assets to Fund B or a similar low risk
fixed income fund as determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(d) In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time designate new
funds and, where appropriate, preclude investment in existing funds and provide
for the transfer of Accounts invested in those funds to other funds selected by
the Participant or, if no such election is made, to Fund B or similar low risk
fixed income fund as determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(e) Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c) above, a
Participant's investment election will apply to the entire Account of the
Participant.

(f) In establishing rules and procedures under section 4.1, the following shall
apply:

          (1) Each Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall
affirmatively elect to self-direct the investment of assets in his or her
Account, but such election may provide for default investments in the absence of
specific directions from such Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee.

          (2) The investment directions of a Participant shall continue to apply
after that Participant's death or incompetence until the Beneficiary (or, if
there is more than one Beneficiary for that Account, all of the Beneficiaries),
guardian or other representatives provide contrary direction.

          (3) The Administrator may decline to implement investment designations
if such investment, in the Administrator's judgment:

(A) would result in a prohibited transaction under section 4975 of the Code;

(B) would generate income taxable to the Trust Fund;

                                       18

(C) would not be in accordance with the Plan and Trust;

(D) would cause a Fiduciary to maintain the indicia of ownership of any assets
of the Trust Fund outside the jurisdiction of the district courts of the United
States other than as permitted by section 404(b) of ERISA and Labor Reg.
2550.404(b)-1;

 (E) would jeopardize the Plan's tax qualified status under the Code;

 (F) could result in a loss in excess of the amount credited to the Account; or

 (G) would violate any other requirements of the Code or ERISA.

          (4) Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c) above,
the Administrator may establish reasonable restrictions on the frequency with
which investment directions may be given, consistent with section 404(c) of
ERISA.

          (5) The Administrator may establish limits on the use of brokers,
investment counsel or other advisors that may be utilized, including specifying
that all investments must be made through a designated broker or brokers.

          (6) The Administrator may establish limits on the types of investments
that are permitted.

(g) Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c) above, the
Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures as may be advisable or
necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, with such rules and
procedures being consistent with section 404(c) of ERISA.

(h) The Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures as may be
advisable or necessary to reasonably ensure that all transactions involving the
investment funds comply with all applicable laws, including the securities laws.

          4.2 Change in Investment Allocation of Future Deferrals. Except as
otherwise prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each Participant may elect to
change the investment allocation of future contributions effective as of the
first administratively feasible Business Day subsequent to telephone notice to
the Recordkeeper. Any changes must be made either in increments of one percent
(1%) of the Participant's Account or in a specified whole dollar amount and must
result in a total investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
Account.

        4.3 Transfer of Account Balances  Between  Investment  Funds.  Except as
otherwise  prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each  Participant may elect to
transfer all or a portion of the amount in his or her Account between investment
funds effective as of the first administratively feasible Business Day following
telephone notice to the Recordkeeper. In determining the amount of the transfer,
the  Participant's  Account  shall be valued as of the close of  business on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received;  provided,  however, that in
any case where the  telephone  notice is received  after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time

                                       19

(daylight  or  standard,  whichever  is in effect on the date of the call),  the
Account  shall be valued as of the close of business on the next  Business  Day.
Such transfers must be made in either one percent (1%)  increments of the entire
Account or in a specified  amount in whole dollars and, as of the  completion of
the transfer,  must result in investment  of one hundred  percent  (100%) of the
Account. Transfers shall be effected by telephone notice to the Recordkeeper.

          4.4 Ownership Status of Funds. The Trustee shall be the owner of
record of the assets in the funds specified as Funds A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and
I and such other funds as may be established by the Administrator. The
Administrator shall have records maintained as of the Valuation Date for each
fund allocating a portion of the fund to each Participant who has elected that
his or her Account be invested in such fund. The records shall reflect each
Participant's portion of Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds as may
be established by the Administrator, in a cash amount and shall reflect each
Participant's portion of Funds C, H and I in cash and unitized shares of stock.

          4.5 Voting Rights. Participants whose Account has shares of
participation in Funds C or I on the last business day of the second month
preceding the record date (the "Voting Eligibility Date") for any meeting of
stockholders have the right to instruct the Trustee as to voting at such
meeting. The number of votes is determined by dividing the value of the shares
in the Participant's Account in Funds C and I, as applicable, by the closing
price of the respective classes of stock on the Voting Eligibility Date. If the
Trustee has not received instructions from a Participant as to voting of shares
within a specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote those shares. If a
Participant furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote direction card without
indicating a voting choice thereon, the Trustee shall vote the Participant's
shares as recommended by management. In addition, each Participant shall have
the right to accept or reject any tender or exchange offer for shares of the
respective classes of stock. The Trustee shall vote (or tender or exchange) all
combined fractional shares of the respective classes of stock to the extent
possible in the same proportion as the shares which have been voted (or tendered
or exchanged) by each Participant. Any instructions as to voting (or tender or
exchange) received from an individual Participant shall be held in confidence by
the Trustee and shall not be divulged to the Adopting Employers or to any
officer or employee thereof or to any other person.

        4.6     Allocation of Earnings.

          (a)(1) The Administrator, as of each Valuation Date, shall adjust the
amounts credited to the Accounts (including Accounts for persons who are no
longer Employees) so that the total of such Account balances equals the fair
market value of the Trust Fund assets as of such Valuation Date. Except as
otherwise provided herein, any changes in the fair market value of the Trust
Fund assets since the preceding Valuation Date shall be charged or credited to
each Account in the ratio that balance in each such Account as of the preceding
Valuation Date bears to the balances in all Accounts as of that Valuation Date
with appropriate adjustments to reflect any distributions, allocations or
similar adjustments to such Account or Accounts since that Valuation Date.

                                       20

          (2) To the extent that separate investment funds are established (as
provided in section 4.1), the adjustments required by subsection (a)(1) shall be
made by applying subsection (a)(1) separately for each such investment fund so
that any changes in the net worth of each such investment fund are charged or
credited to the portion of each Account invested in such investment fund in the
ratio that the portion of each such Account invested in such investment fund as
of the preceding Valuation Date (reduced by any distributions made from that
portion of such Account since that Valuation Date) bears to the total amount
credited to such investment funds as of that Valuation Date (reduced by
distributions made from such investment fund since that Valuation Date).

          (3) Interim valuations, in accordance with the foregoing procedure,
may be made at such time or times as the Administrator directs.

(b) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to
segregate and separately invest any Trust Fund assets. If any assets are
segregated in this fashion, the earnings or losses on such assets shall be
determined apart from other Trust assets and shall be adjusted on each Valuation
Date, or at such other times as the Administrator deems necessary, in accordance
with this section.

                                   ARTICLE V
                                    Vesting

          5.1 Elective Deferral, Employee After-Tax Contribution, Rollover
Contribution and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts. Each Participant
shall have a Nonforfeitable right to any amounts in the Participant's Elective
Deferral, Employee After-Tax Contribution, Rollover Contribution and Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Accounts.

        5.2     Matching Contribution Account.

          (a) Each Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable right to his or her
Matching Contribution Account upon the earliest of:

(1) the Participant's completion of a Period of Service of five (5) years;

(2) the Participant's completion of a Period of Participation of three (3)
years;

(3) the Participant's Retirement, death while an Employee, Disability or
attainment of Normal Retirement Age; or

(4) the Participant's Layoff or Severance from Service due to Qualified Military
Service.

        5.3     Break in Service Rules

          (a) Periods of Service. In determining the length of a Period of
Service, the Administrator shall include all Periods of Service, except the
following Periods of Service shall not be taken into account:

(1) in the case of a Participant who has not made Elective Deferrals to the
Plan, the Period of Service before any Period of Severance which equals or
exceeds five (5) consecutive years; and

                                       21

(2) in the case of a Participant who has made Elective Deferrals to the Plan and
who has incurred a Period of Severance which equals or exceeds five (5) years,
the Period of Service after such Period of Severance shall not be taken into
account for purposes of determining the nonforfeitable interest of such
Participant in the Matching Contributions allocated to his or her Account before
such Period of Severance.

          (b) Periods of Severance. In determining the length of a Period of
Service for purposes of section 14.40, the Administrator shall include any
period of time beginning on an Employee's Severance from Service Date and ending
on the date on which he or she is next credited with an Hour of Service,
provided that such Hour of Service is credited within the twelve- (12)
consecutive month period following such Severance from Service Date.

          (c) Other Periods. In making the determinations described in
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the second, third, and fourth
consecutive years of a Layoff (from the first anniversary of the last day paid
to the fourth anniversary of the last day paid) and any period in excess of one
(1) year of an Authorized Leave of Absence shall be regarded as neither a Period
of Service nor a Period of Severance.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                    Withdrawals and Distribution of Benefits

          6.1 In-Service Withdrawals - Matching Contributions. Upon completion
of a Period of Participation of five (5) years, a Participant may withdraw,
subject to a minimum withdrawal amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250), all
or part of the Participant's Matching Contribution Account. Withdrawals will be
based upon the value of the Account as determined under section 6.16.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may be
established by the Administrator will be made in cash; withdrawals from Funds C,
H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or uninvested
shares) as directed by the Participant. Funds for the withdrawal will be taken
on a pro rata basis against the Participant's investment fund balances in the
Participant's Matching Contribution Account.

          6.2 In-Service Withdrawal -- Elective Deferral and Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Accounts. While an Employee, a Participant may withdraw
all or a portion of his or her Elective Deferral Account and Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account on or after attainment of age fifty-nine and
one-half (59-1/2).

        6.3     In-Service Withdrawal -- Hardship.

          (a) A Participant who has experienced a hardship, as described in this
section, may withdraw from his or her Elective Deferral Account amounts
attributable to Elective Deferrals (adjusted for net losses, if any). Whether a
Participant is entitled to a withdrawal under this section is to be determined
by the Administrator in accordance with nondiscriminatory and objective
standards. In order to be entitled to a hardship withdrawal under this section,
a Participant must satisfy the requirements of both subsection (b) and
subsection (c).

                                       22

          (b) A Participant will be deemed to have experienced an immediate and
heavy financial need necessary to satisfy the requirements of this subsection if
the withdrawal is on account of:

(1)       medical expenses described in section 213(d) of the Code incurred by
          the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependents of the
          Participant;

(2)       the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal resident of
          the Participant;

(3)       payment of tuition for the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary
          education for the Participant or his or her spouse, children or
          dependents; or

(4)       the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his or her
          principal residence or the foreclosure on the mortgage of the
          Participant's principal residence.

          (c) (1) A withdrawal under this subsection will be deemed necessary to
satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if it satisfies
the requirements of this subsection. To the extent the amount of the withdrawal
would be in excess of the amount required to relieve the financial need of the
Participant or to the extent such need may be satisfied from other resources
that are reasonably available to the Participant, such withdrawal shall not
satisfy the requirement of this subsection. For purposes of this subsection, a
Participant's resources shall be deemed to include those assets of his or her
spouse or minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant.

(2) A withdrawal may be treated as necessary to satisfy a financial need if the
Administrator reasonably relies upon the Participant's representation that the
need cannot be relieved:

(A)   through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(B) by reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets to the extent such
liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need;

(C) by cessation of Elective Deferrals under the Plan for at least twelve (12)
months after receipt of the hardship withdrawal;

(D) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from
plans maintained by the Adopting Employers or by any other employer or by
borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

          (d) If a Participant receives a withdrawal for reasons of financial
hardship, the Participant's Elective Deferrals shall be reduced to four percent
(4%) (or such lower percentage as the Participant shall thereafter designate),
if in excess thereof as of the date of the distribution, and shall not be
increased during the twelve (12) months immediately subsequent to the date of
distribution.

                                       23

          (e) Withdrawals of less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) will not
be permitted.

          (f) Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.

          (g) payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.

          (h) Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds
as may be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash. Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or
unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

          (i) Funds for the withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis against
the Participant's investment fund balances in the Participant's Elective
Deferral Account.

          6.4 In-Service Withdrawal -- Rollover Contribution Account. A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Rollover Contribution
Account. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as determined
under section 6.16. Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as
reasonably practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal. Withdrawals
from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash. Withdrawals from Funds C, H
and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or unissued
shares) as elected by the Participant. Withdrawals of less than two hundred
fifty dollars ($250) will not be permitted.

          6.5 In-Service Withdrawal -- Employee After-Tax Contributions. A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Employee After-Tax
Contributions. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16. Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as
soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash. Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or
unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

          6.6 Redeposits Prohibited. No amount withdrawn pursuant to sections
6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5 may be redeposited in the Plan.

        6.7     Distribution of Benefits.

          (a) All benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid in the manner
and at the times specified in this ARTICLE. Any payments to Participants or
Beneficiaries shall be made in cash (or cash equivalents) except as otherwise
provided herein. Distributions may be made wholly or partly by an in-kind
distribution of assets held by the Trust Fund if the distributee consents to
such an in-kind distribution and the Administrator determines that such an
in-kind distribution is not administratively burdensome.

          (b) All payment methods and distributions shall comply with the
requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder and, if necessary, shall be interpreted to so comply. The provisions
of this ARTICLE apply to all amounts credited to an Account, regardless of the
source of such amounts. All distributions shall comply with the incidental death
benefit requirement of section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code. Distributions shall
comply with the regulation under section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including Treas.
Reg. 1.401(a)(9)-2. The provisions of the Plan reflecting section 401(a)(9) of
the Code override any distribution provisions in the Plan inconsistent with
section 401(a)(9).

                                       24

          (c) Distribution of the Participant's Account (to which the
Participant has a Nonforfeitable right) will be made at the direction of the
Participant (or his or her legal representative or Beneficiary in the case of
his or her Disability or death) upon the Retirement, Disability, death or
Severance from Service of the Participant. In the event the Participant dies or
his or her Severance from Service occurs after his or her Normal Retirement Age,
or if the value of the Nonforfeitable portion of the Participant's Account as of
the Valuation Date which coincides with or immediately precedes the date of
distribution is not in excess of three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500),
the Administrator shall cause the distribution to automatically be made.

          (d) Payment will be made in the form of a lump-sum distribution of the
entire amount in the Participant's Account (to which the Participant has a
Nonforfeitable right), which will be paid as soon as practicable following
notification to the Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon Company,
Lexington, Massachusetts, of the Retirement, death, Disability or Severance from
Service and a telephone request by the Participant to the Recordkeeper for the
distribution. Distributions will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16. Distribution of the amounts in Funds A, B, D, E,
F and G (if any), and such other funds as may be established by the
Administrator, will be made in cash. Distribution of the amounts in Funds C, H
and I (if any) will be made in either cash or stock, at the election of the
Participant or, in the case of death, the Participant's Beneficiary. Partial
deferrals will not be permitted. If there is no Beneficiary surviving a deceased
Participant at the time payment of his or her Account is to be made, such
payment shall be made in a lump-sum to the person or persons in the first
following class of successive Beneficiaries surviving, any testamentary devise
or bequest to the contrary notwithstanding: the Participant's (1) spouse, (2)
children and issue of deceased children by right of representation, (3) parents,
(4) brothers and sisters and issue of deceased brothers and sisters by right of
representation, or (5) executors or administrators. If no Beneficiary can be
located during a period of seven (7) years from the date of death, the amount of
the distribution shall revert to the Trust and be treated in the same manner as
a forfeiture under section 3.6.

          (e) If the Participant dies before the time when distribution is
considered to have commenced in accordance with applicable regulations, then any
remaining portion of the Participant's interest will be distributed within five
(5) years after the Participant's death. If a distribution is considered to have
commenced in accordance with the applicable regulations before the Participant's
death, the remaining interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Participant's death.

          (f) Except as provided by section 401(a)(9) of the Code as set forth
in this section, benefits in the Plan will be distributed to each Participant
not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following events occurs:

(1) attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement Age;

(2) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which Participant commenced
participation in the Plan; or

(3) Participant's Severance from Service.

                                       25

        6.8     Mandatory Distributions.

          A Participant who has attained age seventy and one-half (701/2) and is
subject to the mandatory distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) shall
receive a lump sum distribution of the Participant's Account (to which the
Participant has a nonforfeitable right) at the time distributions must commence
in order to comply with such requirements. If additional amounts are allocated
to the Participant's Account following such lump sum distribution, additional
lump sum distributions of the Participant's Account (to which the Participant
has a nonforefeitable right) shall be made at such times any mandatory
distributions are required to comply with section 401(a)(9). Such payments shall
be made notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan or election made by
such Participant.

        6.9     Commencement of Benefits.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE, distribution to a
Participant (or Beneficiary) shall commence within a reasonable period of time
following the Participant's Retirement, Disability, death or Severance from
Service.

          (b) If the vested amount in the Participant's Account exceeds or ever
exceeded three thousand five hundred dollars ($3, 500), then payment to the
Participant shall not commence before such Participant has attained age
sixty-five (65), unless the Participant requests an earlier distribution. Such
request must be made not more than ninety (90) days before the commencement of
the distribution.

          6.10 Payments to Incompetents. If a Participant or Beneficiary
entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is adjudicated to be legally
incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for such benefits, the benefits
may be paid to the duly authorized personal representative of such Participant
or Beneficiary.

          6.11 Income Tax Withholding. To the extent required by section 3405 of
the Code, distributions and withdrawals from the Plan shall be subject to
federal income tax withholding.

        6.12    Direct Rollovers.

          (a) A Participant may elect that all or any portion of a distribution
that would otherwise be paid as an Eligible Rollover Distribution shall instead

procedures as it deems reasonable with respect to Direct Rollovers in addition
to, or in lieu of, those set forth in subsection (b)(2). The Administrator may

previous rules and procedures it has applied.

Distribution.

          (b) Any elections concerning the payment of benefits under section 6.7
shall be made on a form prescribed by the Administrator. The Participant or
other Distributee shall submit a completed form to the Administrator at least
thirty (30) days before payment is scheduled to commence, unless the
Administrator agrees to a shorter time period. Any election made under this
section shall be revocable until thirty (30) days before payment is scheduled to
commence.

          (c) An election to have payment made in a Direct Rollover shall only
be valid if the Participant or other Distributee provides adequate information
to the Administrator for the implementation of such Direct Rollover and such
reasonable verification as the Administrator may require that the transferee is
an Eligible Retirement Plan.

        6.14    Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

          (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, payments shall
be made in accordance with any judgment, decree or order determined to be a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

          (b) (1) If the Plan receives a Domestic Relations Order, the
Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of
the receipt of such order and of the Plan's procedures for determining whether
such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Administrator shall,
within a reasonable period after receipt of such order, determine whether it is
a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify the Participant and each
Alternate Payee of that determination.

          (2) During any period in which the issue of whether a Domestic
Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being determined, the
Administrator shall separately account for the amounts that would have been
payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the order had been
determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

          (c) (1) A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of this
subsection only if such order clearly specifies the following:

                                       28

(A) the name and last known mailing address (if any) of the Participant and the
name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by the order;

(B) the amount or the percentage of the Participant's benefits to be paid by the
Plan to each such Alternate Payee or the manner in which such amount or
percentage is to be determined;

(C) the number of payments or period to which such order applies; and

(D) each plan to which such order applies.

          (2) A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of this
subsection only if such order does not:

(A) require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit or any option not
otherwise provided under the Plan;

(B) require the Plan to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of
actuarial value); and

(C) does not require the payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee that are
required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under another order previously
determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

          (d) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing to meet
the requirements of section 6.14(c)(2)(A) solely because such order requires
that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee:

          (1) in the case of any payment before a Participant has separated from
service, on or after the date on which the Participant attains (or would have
attained) the Earliest Retirement Date;

          (2) as if the Participant had retired on the date on which such
payment is to begin under such order (but taking into account only the present
value of the benefits actually accrued and not taking into account the present
value of any employer subsidy for early retirement); and

          (3) in any form in which such benefits may be paid under the Plan to
the Participant (other than in the form of a qualified joint and survivor
annuity with respect to the Alternate Payee and his or her subsequent spouse).

          (e) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing to meet
the requirements of section 6.14(c)(2)(A) solely because such order requires
that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee at a date before the
Participant is entitled to receive a distribution. Such distribution shall be
made to such Alternate Payee notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.

          (f) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

          (1) Alternate Payee. Any spouse, former spouse, child or other
dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a Domestic Relations Order as
having a right to benefits under the Plan with respect to such Participant.

                                       29

          (2) Domestic Relations Order. A judgment, decree or order relating to
child support, alimony or marital property rights, as defined in section
414(p)(1)(B) of the Code.

          (3)     Earliest Retirement Date.  The earlier of:

(A) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under the
Plan; or

(B) the later of:

          (i)  the date the Participant attains age fifty (50); or

          (ii) the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving
benefits under the Plan if the Participantseparated from service.

          (4) Qualified Domestic Relations Order. A Domestic Relations Order
that satisfies the requirements of subsection (c) and section 414(p)(1)(A) of
the Code.

          (g) If an Alternate Payee entitled to payment under this section is
the spouse or former spouse of a Participant and payment will otherwise be made
in an Eligible Rollover Distribution, then such spouse or former spouse may
elect that all, or any portion, of such payment shall instead be transferred as
a Direct Rollover. Such Direct Rollover shall be governed by the requirements of
section 6.12.

          (h) If a Domestic Relations Order directs that payment be made to an
Alternate Payee before the Participant's Earliest Retirement Date and such
Domestic Relations Order otherwise qualifies as a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, then the Domestic Relations Order shall be treated as a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order and such payment shall be made to the Alternate Payee,
even though the Participant is not entitled to receive a distribution under the
Plan because he or she continues to be an Employee of one of the Adopting
Employers.

          (i) This section shall be interpreted and administered in accordance
with section 414(p) of the Code.

        6.15    Lost Beneficiary.

          (a) All Participants and Beneficiaries shall have the obligation to
keep the Administrator informed of their current address until such time as all
benefits due have been paid.

          (b) If any amount is payable to a Participant or Beneficiary who
cannot be located to receive such payment, such amount may, at the discretion of
the Administrator, be forfeited; provided, however, that if such Participant or
Beneficiary subsequently claims the forfeited amount, it shall be reinstated and
paid to such Participant or Beneficiary. Such reinstatement may, in the
Administrator's sole discretion, be made from Company Contributions, forfeitures
or Trust earnings, and shall b treated as a special allocation that supersedes
the normal allocation rules.

                                       30

          (c) If the Administrator has not, after due diligence, located a
Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to payment within three (3) years
after the Participant's Severance from Service, then, at the discretion of the
Administrator, such person may be presumed deceased for purposes of this Plan.
Any such presumption of death shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
parties.

          6.16 Determination of Amount of Withdrawal or Distribution. In
determining the amount of any withdrawal or distribution hereunder, the
Participant's Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received; provided, however, that in
any case where the telephone notice is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
(daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on the date of the call), the
Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Business Day.

          6.17 Offsets. Any transfers or payments made from a Participant's
Account to a person other than the Participant pursuant to the provisions of
this Plan shall reduce the Participant's Account and offset any amounts
otherwise due to such Participant. Such transfers or payments shall not be
considered a forfeiture for purposes of the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                     Loans

          7.1 Availability of Loans. Participants may borrow against all or a
portion of the Nonforfeitable balance in the Participant's Account, subject to
the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE. Participants who have incurred a
Severance from Service will not be eligible for a Plan loan. The Vice President,
Human Resources, is authorized to administer this loan program.

          7.2 Minimum Amount of Loan. No loan of less than five hundred dollars
($500) will be permitted.

          7.3 Maximum Amount of Loan. No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%)
of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance will be permitted. In
addition, limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and any other requirements
of applicable statute or regulation will be applied. Under the current
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, if the value of a Participant's
Nonforfeitable Account balance exceeds twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), the
loan cannot exceed the lesser of one-half (1/2) of the value of the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance or fifty thousand dollars ($50,000)
reduced by the excess of (a) the highest outstanding balance of loans from the
Plan during the one-year period ending on the day before the date on which such
loan was made over (b) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the
date on which such loan was made.

          7.4 Effective Date of Loans. Loans will be effective as specified in
the Administrator's rules then in effect.

                                       31

          7.5 Repayment Schedule. The Participant may select a repayment
schedule of one, two, three, four or five (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) years. If the loan
is used to acquire any dwelling which, within a reasonable time is to be used
(determined at the time the loan is made) as the principal residence of the
Participant, the repayment period may be extended up to fifteen (15) years at
the election of the Participant. All repayments will be made through payroll
deductions in accordance with the loan agreement executed at the time the loan
is made, except that, in the event of the sale of all or a portion of the
business of the Employer or one of the Adopting Employers, or other unusual
circumstances, the Administrator, through uniform and equitable rules, may
establish other means of repayment. The loan agreement will permit repayment of
the entire outstanding balance in one lump-sum. The minimum repayment amount per
pay period is ten dollars ($10) for Participants paid weekly and fifty dollars
($50) for Participants paid monthly. The repayment schedule shall provide for
substantially level amortization of the loan. Loan repayments will be suspended
under this Plan as permitted under section 414(u) of the Code.

          7.6 Limit on Number of Loans. No more than two (2) loans may be
outstanding at any time.

          7.7 Interest Rate. The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this
ARTICLE will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on
the first business day in June and December of each year. The rate published on
the first business day in June will apply to loans which are effective at any
time during the period July 1 through December 31 thereafter; the rate published
on the first business day of December will apply to loans which are effective at
any time during the period January 1 through June 30 thereafter.

          7.8 Effect Upon Participant's Elective Deferral Account. Upon the
granting of a loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in the
Participant's Account to the respective investment funds will be reduced on a
pro rata basis and replaced by the loan balance which will be designated as an
asset in the Account. Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the
Participant's Account in the following sequence, with no reduction of the
succeeding Accounts until prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan:
Matching Contribution Account; Elective Deferral Account; Rollover Contribution
Account; and Employee After-Tax Contribution Account. Upon repayment of the
principal and interest, the loan balance will be reduced, the Participant
Accounts will be increased in the reverse order in which they were exhausted by
the loan, and the loan payments will be allocated to the respective investment
funds in accordance with the investment election then in effect.

          7.9 Effect of Severance From Service and Nonpayment. In the event that
a loan remains outstanding upon the Severance from Service of a Participant, the
Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding
loan. In any case where payments on the outstanding loan are not made within
ninety (90) days of the Participant's Severance from Service Date, the amount of
any unpaid principal will be deducted from the Participant's account and
reported as a distribution. If, as a result of Layoff or Authorized Leave of
Absence, a Participant, although still in a Period of Service, is not being
compensated through the Employer's payroll system, loan payments will be
suspended until the earliest of the first pay date after the Participant returns
to active employment with the Employer, the Participant's Severance from Service
Date, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the suspension.
In the event the Participant does not return to active employment with the
Employer, the Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay the
outstanding loan. If the Participant fails to resume payments on the loan, the
outstanding loan will be reported as a taxable distribution. In no event,
however, shall the loan be deducted from the Participant's Account earlier than
the date on which the Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service, or, (ii)
attains age fifty-nine and one-half (59-1/2).

                                       32

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      Contribution and Benefit Limitations

        8.1     Contribution Limits.

          (a) The Annual Additions that may be allocated to a Participant's
Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

(1) thirty thousand dollars ($30,000); or

(2) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's Compensation for that
Limitation Year.

          (b) If the Employer maintains any other Defined Contribution Plans
then the limitations in subsection (a) shall be computed with reference to the
aggregate Annual Additions for each Participant from all such Defined
Contribution Plans.

          (c) If the Annual Additions for a Participant would exceed the limits
specified in this section, then the Annual Additions under this Plan for that
Participant shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent such limits from
being exceeded. Such reduction shall be made in accordance with section 8.4.

        8.2     Overall Limits.

          (a) If a Participant is participating in both a Defined Contribution
Plan and a Defined Benefit Plan of the Employer, then the sum of the Defined
Contribution Fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction for any Limitation Year
shall not exceed 1.0.

          (b) If the sum of the Defined Contribution Fraction and the Defined
Benefit Fraction would exceed 1.0, then the annual benefits under the Defined
Benefit Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the sum of such
fractions does not exceed 1.0.

          8.3 Annual Adjustments to Limits. The dollar limits for Annual
Additions and the dollar limits in the Defined Benefit Fraction and Defined
Contribution Fraction shall be adjusted for cost-of-living to the extent
permitted under section 415 of the Code.

        8.4     Excess Amounts.

          (a) The foregoing limits shall be limits on the allocation that may be
made to a Participant's Account in any Limitation Year. If an excess Annual
Addition would otherwise result from allocation of forfeitures, reasonable
errors in determining Compensation or other comparable reasons, then the
Administrator may take any (or all) of the following steps to prevent the excess
Annual Additions from being allocated:

(1) return any contributions from the Participant, as long as such return is
nondiscriminatory;

                                       33

(2) hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense account and apply the
balance of the suspense account against Matching Contributions for that
Participant made in succeeding years;

(3) hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense account and apply the
balance of the suspense account against succeeding year Matching Contributions;

(4) reallocate the excess amounts to other Participants.

          (b) Any suspense account established under this section shall not be
credited with income or loss unless otherwise directed by the Administrator. If
a suspense account under this section is to be applied in a subsequent
Limitation Year, then the amounts in the suspense account shall be applied
before any Annual Additions (other than forfeitures) are made for such
Limitation Year.

        8.5  Definitions.

          (a) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

          (1) Annual Addition. The sum for any Limitation Year of additions (not
including Rollover Contributions) to a Participant's Account as a result of:

(A) Employer contributions (including Matching Contributions, Qualified
Nonelective Contributions and Elective Deferrals);

(B) Employee contributions;

(C) forfeitures; and

(D) amounts described in Code sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2).

          (2) Defined Benefit Fraction. A fraction, the numerator of which is
the Projected Annual Benefit of the Participant under all Defined Benefit Plans
of the Employer (determined as of the close of the Limitation Year) and the
denominator of which is the Projected Annual Benefit the Participant would have
under such plans (determined as of the close of the Limitation Year) if such
plans provided an annual benefit equal to the lesser of:

(A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by ninety thousand dollars ($90,000); or

(B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred percent (100%) of the
Participant's average Compensation for the Participant's three (3) consecutive
Years of Service that produce the highest average Compensation.

          For purposes of determining the Defined Benefit Fraction of a
Participant who was employed by an Adopting Employer on December 18, 1997 or who
transferred to an Adopting Company from General Motors Corporation or one of its
affiliates after such date and before December 1, 1998, service for and
Compensation received from General Motors Corporation and its affiliates, if
any, shall be taken into account, and the Projected Annual Benefit under any
Defined Benefit Plan of the Employer shall not be reduced as a result of the
transfer of any assets or liabilities from a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by
General Motors Corporation and its affiliates.

                                       34

          (3) Defined Benefit Plan. Any plan qualified under section 401(a) of
the Code that is not a Defined Contribution Plan.

          (4) Defined Contribution Fraction. A fraction, the numerator of which
is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant's Accounts as of the close
of the Limitation Year, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the
lesser of the following amounts determined for such Limitation Year and for each
prior year of service with the Employer:

(A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by thirty thousand dollars ($30,000); or

(B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Participant's Compensation.

          For purposes of determining the Defined Contribution Fraction of a
Participant, services performed for, Compensation paid by and Annual Additions
made by General Motors Corporation or any of its affiliates shall not be taken
into account.

          (5) Defined Contribution Plan. A plan qualified under section 401(a)
of the Code that provides an individual account for each Participant and
benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the Participant's Account,
plus any income, expenses, gains and losses, and forfeitures of other
Participants which may be allocated to such Participant's account.

          (6) Limitation Year. The Plan Year, until the Employer adopts a
different Limitation Year.

          (7) Projected Annual Benefit. The annual benefit to which a
Participant would be entitled, assuming:

(A) the Participant continues in employment until Normal Retirement Age under
the Plan;

(B) the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year remains the same
until such Normal Retirement Age; and

(C) all other relevant factors under the Plan for the Limitation Year will
remain constant.

          (b) For purposes of this ARTICLE, the term "Compensation" shall mean
all amounts paid to an Employee for personal services actually rendered to the
Employer, including, but not limited to, wages, salary, commissions, bonuses,
overtime and other premium pay as specified in Reg. 1.415-2(d)(2), but excluding
deferred compensation, stock options, and other distributions that receive
special tax treatment as specified in Reg. 1.415-2(d)(3). For Plan Years
beginning after 1997, Compensation for this purpose shall include salary
reduction amounts under section 125 cafeteria plans and section 401(k), 403(b)
and 457 plans. This definition shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
the requirements of section 415 of the Code.

                                       35

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                Top-Heavy Rules

          9.1 General. This ARTICLE shall only be applicable if the Plan becomes
a Top-Heavy Plan under section 416 of the Code. If the Plan does not become a
Top-Heavy Plan, then none of the provisions of this ARTICLE shall be operative.
The provisions of this ARTICLE shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent with the requirements of section 416 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.

        9.2     Vesting.

          (a) If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, then amounts in a
Participant's Account attributable to Matching Contributions shall be vested in
accordance with this section, in lieu of ARTICLE V, to the extent this section
produces a greater degree of vesting. This section shall only apply to
Participants who have at least an Hour of Service after the Plan becomes a
Top-Heavy Plan.

          (b) If applicable, amounts in a Participant's Account attributable to
Matching Contributions shall vest as follows:

              Years of
        Top Heavy Service               Vested Percentage

        Fewer than 3                             0%
        3 or more                               100%

          (c) If the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan then subsection (b)
shall no longer be applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall the
vested percentage of any Participant be reduced by reason of the Plan ceasing to
be a Top-Heavy Plan. Subsection (b) shall nevertheless continue to apply for any
Participant who was previously covered by it and who has at least three (3)
Years of Top-Heavy Service.

        9.3     Minimum Contribution.

          (a) For each Plan Year that the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the Adopting
Employers shall make a contribution to be allocated directly to the Account of
each Non-Key Employee.

          (b) The amount of the contribution (and forfeitures) required to be
contributed and allocated for a Plan Year by this section is three percent (3%)
of the Top-Heavy Compensation for that Plan Year of each Non-Key Employee who is
both a Participant and an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year for which
the contribution is made, with adjustments as provided herein. If the
contribution allocated to the Accounts of each Key Employee for a Plan Year is
less than three percent (3%) of his/her Top-Heavy Compensation, then the
contribution required by the preceding sentence shall be reduced for that Plan
Year to the same percentage of Top-Heavy Compensation that was allocated to the
Account of the Key Employee whose Account received the greatest allocation of
contributions for that Plan Year, when computed as a percentage of Top-Heavy
Compensation.

                                       36

          (c) The contribution required by this section shall be reduced for a
Plan Year to the extent of any contributions made and allocated under this Plan
or any other contributions from the Adopting Employers made and allocated under
this or any other Aggregated Plans. Elective Deferrals shall be treated as if
they were contributions for purposes of determining any minimum contributions
required under subsection (b).

        9.4   Definitions.

              (a) The following terms shall have the meanings specified herein:

                  (1)     Aggregated Plans.

(A) The Plan, any plan that is part of a "required aggregation group" and any
plan that is part of a "permissive aggregation group" that the Adopting
Employers treat as an Aggregated Plan.

(B) The "required aggregation group" consists of each plan of the Adopting
Employers in which a Key Employee participates (in the Plan Year containing the
Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years) and each other
plan of the Adopting Employers which enables any plan of the Adopting Employers
in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of section
401(a)(4) or section 410(b) of the Code. Also included in the required
aggregation group shall be any terminated plan that covered a Key Employee and
was maintained within the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date.

(C) The "permissive aggregation group" consists of any plan not included in the
"required aggregation group" if the Aggregated Plan described in subparagraph
(A) above would continue to meet the requirements of section 401(a)(4) and 410
of the Code with such additional plan being taken into account.

          (2) Determination Date. The last day of the preceding Plan Year, or,
in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day of such plan year.
The computations made on the Determination Date shall utilize information from
the immediately preceding Valuation Date.

          (3) Key Employee.

(A) An Employee (or former Employee) who, at any time during the Plan Year
containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years,
is:

          (i) An officer of one of the Adopting Employers with annual Top-Heavy
Compensation for the Plan Year greater than fifty percent (50%) of the amount in
effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in which
that Plan Year ends;

          (ii) one of the ten (10) Employees owning (or considered as owning
under section 318 of the Code) the largest interest in one of the Adopting
Employers, who has more than one-half of one percent (.5%) interest in such
Adopting Employer, and who has annual Top-Heavy Compensation for the Plan Year
at least equal to the maximum dollar limitation under section 415(c)(1)(A) of
the Code for the calendar year in which that Plan Year ends;

                                       37

          (iii) a five percent (5%) or greater shareholder in one of the
Adopting Employers; or

          (iv) a one percent (1%) shareholder in one of the Adopting Employers
with annual Top-Heavy Compensation from the Adopting Employer of more than one
hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).

(B) For purposes of paragraphs (3)(A)(iii) and (3)(A)(iv), the rules of section
414(b), (c) and (m) of the Code shall not apply. Beneficiaries of an Employee
shall acquire the character of such Employee and inherited benefits will retain
the character of the benefits of the Employee who performed services.

          (4) Non-Key Employee. Any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

          (5) Super Top-Heavy Plan. A Top-Heavy Plan in which the sum of the
present value of the cumulative accrued benefits and accounts for Key Employees
exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the comparable sum determined for all Employees.
The foregoing determination shall be made in the same manner as the
determination of a Top-Heavy Plan under this section.

          (6) Top-Heavy Compensation. The term Top-Heavy Compensation shall have
the same meaning as the term Compensation has under section 8.5(b).

          (7) Top-Heavy Plan. The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if,
as of the Determination Date for that Plan Year, the sum of (i) the present
value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all Defined
Benefit Plans that are Aggregated Plans and (ii) the aggregate of the accounts
of Key Employees under all Defined Contribution Plans that are Aggregated Plans
exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the comparable sum determined for all Employees.

          (8) Years of Top-Heavy Service. The number of Years of Service with
the Adopting Employers that might be counted under section 411(a) of the Code,
disregarding all service that may be disregarded under section 411(a)(4) of the
Code.

(b) The definitions in this section and the provisions of this ARTICLE shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with section 416 of the Code.

        9.5     Special Rules.

          (a) For purposes of determining the present value of the cumulative
accrued benefit for any Participant or the amount of the Account of any
Participant, such present value or amount shall be increased by the aggregate
distributions made with respect to such Participant under the Plan during the
Plan Year that includes the Determination Date and the four (4) preceding Plan
Years (if such amounts would otherwise have been omitted).

                                       38

          (b) (1) In the case of unrelated rollovers and transfers, (i) the plan
making the distribution or transfer is to count the distribution as a
distribution under section 416(g)(3) of the Code, and (ii) the plan accepting
the rollover or transfer is not to consider the rollover or transfer as part of
the accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was accepted after December 31,
1983, but is to consider it as part of the accrued benefit if such rollover or
transfer was accepted before January 1, 1984. For this purpose, rollovers and
transfers are to be considered unrelated if they are both initiated by the
Employee and made from a plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by
another employer.

(2) In the case of related rollovers and transfers, the plan making the
distribution or transfer is not to count the distribution or transfer under
section 416(g)(3) of the Code, and the plan accepting the rollover or transfer
counts the rollover or transfer in the present value of the accrued benefits.
For this purpose, rollovers and transfers are to be considered related if they
are not unrelated under subsection (b)(1).

          (c) If any individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any plan
for any Plan Year, but such individual was a Key Employee with respect to such
plan for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefit for such Employee (and the
account of such Employee) shall not be taken into account.

          (d) Beneficiaries of Key Employees and former Key Employees are
considered to be Key Employees and Beneficiaries of Non-Key Employees and former
Non-Key Employees are considered to be Non-Key Employees.

          (e) The accrued benefit of an Employee who has not performed any
service for the Adopting Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the
five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date is excluded from the
calculation to determine top-heaviness. However, if an Employee performs no
services, such Employee's total accrued benefit is included in the calculation
for top-heaviness.

        9.6     Adjustment of Limitations.

          (a) If this section is applicable, then the contribution and benefit
limitations in section 8.5 shall be reduced. Such reduction shall be made by
modifying section 8.5(a)(2)(A) of the definition of Defined Benefit Fraction to
instead be "(i) the product of 1.0 multiplied by ninety thousand dollars
($90,000), or" and by modifying section 8.5(a)(4)(A) of the definition of
Defined Contribution Fraction to instead be "(i) the product of 1.0 multiplied
by thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), or

          (b) This section shall be applicable for any Plan Year in which
either:

(1) the Plan is a Super Top-Heavy Plan, or

(2) the Plan both is a Top-Heavy Plan (but not a Super Top-Heavy Plan) and
provides contributions (and forfeitures) to the Account of any Non-Key Employee
in an amount less than four percent (4%) of such Participant's Top-Heavy
Compensation, as determined in accordance with section 9.3(b).

          10.2 Investment of Accounts. The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the

                           Administration of The Plan

          11.1 General Administration. The general administration of the Plan
shall be the responsibility of the Company (or any successor thereto) which
shall be the Administrator and named Fiduciary for purposes of ERISA. The
Company shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to construe the terms
of the Plan and to make determinations as to eligibility for benefits and as to
other issues within the "Responsibilities of the Administrator" described in
this ARTICLE. All such determinations of the Company shall be conclusive and
binding on all persons.

          11.2 Responsibilities of the Administrator. Except as otherwise
provided in ERISA, the Administrator (and any other named Fiduciaries) may
allocate any duties and responsibilities under the Plan and Trust among
themselves in any mutually agreed upon manner. Such allocation shall be in a
written document signed by the Administrator (and any other named Fiduciaries)
and shall specifically set forth this allocation of duties and responsibilities,
which may include the following:

          (a) Determination of all questions which may arise under the Plan with
respect to questions of fact and law and eligibility for participation and
administration of Accounts, including without limitation questions with respect
to membership, vesting, loans, withdrawals, accounting, status of Accounts,
stock ownership and voting rights, and any other issue requiring interpretation
or application of the Plan.

          (b) Reference of appropriate issues to the Offices of the Executive
Vice President - Chief Financial Officer, the Senior Vice President Treasurer,
the Director of Tax Affairs, the Vice President General Counsel, and the Vice
President - Human Resources, respectively, for advice and counsel.

                                       40

          (c) Establishment of procedures required by the Plan, such as
notification to Employees as to joining the Plan, selecting and changing
investment options, suspending deferrals, exercising voting rights in stock,
withdrawing and borrowing Account balances, designation of Beneficiaries,
election of method of distribution, and any other matters requiring a uniform
procedure.

          (d) Submission of necessary amendments to supplement omissions from
the Plan or reconcile any inconsistency therein.

          (e) Filing appropriate reports with the government as required by law.

          (f) Appointment of a Trustee or Trustees, Recordkeepers, and
investment managers.

          (g) Review at appropriate intervals of the performance of the Trustee
and such investment managers as may have been designated.

          (h) Appointment of such additional Fiduciaries as deemed necessary for
the effective administration of the Plan, such appointments to be by written
instrument.

          11.3 Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries. Each Fiduciary shall be
responsible only for the duties allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary, and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility
with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary unless:

          (a) The Fiduciary knowingly participates in or knowingly attempts to
conceal the act or omission of such other Fiduciary and knows that such act or
omission constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility by the other
Fiduciary;

          (b) The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary
responsibility by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable efforts under
the circumstances to remedy the breach; or

          (c) The Fiduciary's own breach of his or her specific fiduciary
responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach. No Fiduciary
shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his or her
assumption of Fiduciary status or after his or her termination from such status.

          11.4 Employment by Fiduciaries. Any Fiduciary hereunder may employ,
with the written approval of the Administrator, one or more persons to render
service with regard to any responsibility which has been assigned to such
Fiduciary under the terms of the Plan including legal, tax, or investment
counsel and may delegate to one or more persons any administrative duties
(clerical or otherwise) hereunder.

                                       41

          11.5 Recordkeeping. The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept
any necessary data required for determining the Account status of each
Participant. In compiling such information, the Administrator may rely upon its
employment records, including representations made by the Participant in the
employment application and subsequent documents submitted by the Participant to
the Employer. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such information when
furnished by the Administrator or its delegate. Each Employee shall be required
to furnish the Administrator upon request and in such form as prescribed by the
Administrator, such personal information, affidavits and authorizations to
obtain information as the Administrator may deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Plan, including but not limited to proof of the Employee's
date of birth and the date of birth of any person designated by a Participant as
a Beneficiary.

        11.6    Claims Review Procedure.

          (a) The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the right of
any person to Accounts under the Plan. Any such determination by the
Administrator shall be made pursuant to the following procedure:

(1) Step 1. Claims with respect to an Account should be filed by a claimant as
soon as practicable after the claimant knows or should know that a dispute has
arisen with respect to an Account, but at least thirty (30) days prior to the
claimant's actual retirement date or, if applicable, within sixty (60) days
after the death, Disability or Severance from Service of the Participant whose
Account is at issue, by mailing a copy of the claim to the Benefits and Services
Department

      Raytheon Company, 141 Spring Street, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

(2) Step 2. In the event that a claim with respect to an Account is wholly or
partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator shall, within ninety
(90) days following receipt of the claim, so advise the claimant in writing
setting forth: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; specific reference
to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the
claim; an explanation as to why such material or information is necessary; and
an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

(3) Step 3. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of the denial of a claim
with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have the denial appealed
shall file a request for review with the Administrator by mailing a copy thereof
to the address shown in subsection (a)(1).

(4) Step 4. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request for review,
the Administrator shall provide the claimant a further opportunity to present
his or her position. At the Administrator's discretion, such presentation may be
through an oral or written presentation. Prior to such presentation, the
claimant shall be permitted the opportunity to review pertinent documents and to
submit issues and comments in writing. Within a reasonable time following
presentation the claimant's position, which usually should not exceed thirty
(30) days, the Administrator shall inform the claimant in writing of the
decision on review setting forth the reasons for such decision and citing
pertinent provisions in the Plan.

                                       42

          (b) The Administrator is the Fiduciary to whom the Plan grants full
discretion, with the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to determine
whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount, form and
timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter under the Plan which is
raised by a claimant or identified by the Administrator. All questions arising
from or in connection with the provisions of the Plan and its administration,
not herein provided to be determined the Board of Directors, shall be determined
by the Administrator, and any determination so made shall be conclusive and
binding upon all persons affected thereby.

          11.7 Indemnification of Directors and Employees. The Adopting
Employers shall indemnify by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a
director, officer or Employee of the Employer, his or her heirs and legal
representatives, against all liability and reasonable expense, including counsel
fees, amounts paid in settlement and amounts of judgments, fines or penalties,
incurred or imposed upon him in connection with any claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of acts or omissions in his or her capacity as a Fiduciary hereunder, provided
that such act or omission is not the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Adopting Employers may indemnify other Fiduciaries, their heirs
and legal representatives, under the circumstances, and subject to the
limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, if such indemnification is
determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best interests of the Adopting
Employers.

          11.8 Immunity from Liability. Except to the extent that section 410(a)
of ERISA prohibits the granting of immunity to Fiduciaries from liability for
any responsibility, obligation, or duty imposed under Title I, Subtitle B, Part
4, of said Act, an officer, Employee, member of the Board of Directors of the
Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this Plan shall be immune
from any liability for any action or failure to act except such action or
failure to act which results from said officer's, Employee's, Participant's or
other person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                       43

                                  ARTICLE XII
                        Amendment Or Termination Of Plan

          12.1 Right to Amend or Terminate Plan. Each of the Adopting Employers
reserves the right at any time or times, by action of its board of directors, to
modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part as to its Employees, in
which event a certified copy of the resolution of the board of directors,
authorizing such modification, amendment or termination shall be delivered to
the Trustee and to the other Adopting Employers whose Employees are covered by
this Plan, provided, however, that no amendment to the Plan shall be made which
shall:

          (a) reduce any vested right or interest to which any Participant or
Beneficiary is then entitled under this Plan or otherwise reduce the vested
rights of a Participant in violation of section 411(d)(6) of the Code;

          (b) vest in the Adopting Employers any interest or control over any
assets of the Trust;

          (c) cause any assets of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to,
purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their
Beneficiaries; or

          (d) change any of the rights, duties or powers of the Trustee without
its written consent.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section or any
other provisions of this Plan, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be
made retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan with, or to
satisfy the conditions of, ERISA, the Code, or any other law, governmental
regulation or ruling. Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the Board of Directors. In the alternative,
subject to the conditions prescribed in subsections 12.1(a) through (e), the
Plan may be amended by an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of
Directors to amend the Plan, provided, however, that any such amendment does
not, in the view of such officer, materially increase costs of the Plan to the
Company or any Adopting Employer.

          12.2 Amendment to Vesting Schedule. Any amendment that modifies the
vesting provisions of ARTICLE IV shall either:

          (a) provide for a rate of vesting that is at least as rapid for any
Participant as the vesting schedule previously in effect; or

          (b) provide that any adversely affected Participant with a Period of
Service of at least three (3) years may elect, in writing, to remain under the
vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment. Such election must be made
within sixty (60) days after the later of the:

(1) adoption of the amendment;

(2) effective date of the amendment; or

(3) issuance by the Company of written notice of the amendment.

                                       44

          12.3 Maintenance of Plan. The Company has established the Plan with
the bona fide intention and expectation that it will be able to make its
contributions indefinitely, but the Company is not and shall not be under any
obligation or liability whatsoever to continue its contributions or to maintain
the Plan for any given length of time.

          12.4 Termination of Plan and Trust. The Plan and Trust hereby created
shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (a) Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination executed by the
Company specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall terminate; or

          (b) Adjudication of the Company as bankrupt or general assignment by
the Company to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution of the Company.

          12.5 Distribution on Termination.

          (a) (1) If the Plan is terminated, or contributions permanently
discontinued, an Adopting Employer, at its discretion, may (at that time or at
any later time) direct the Trustee to distribute the amounts in a Participant's
Account in accordance with the distribution provisions of the Plan. Such
distribution shall, notwithstanding any prior provisions of the Plan, be made in
a single lump-sum without the Participant's consent as to the timing of such
distribution. If, however, an Adopting Employer (or an Affiliate) maintains
another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan),
then the preceding sentence shall not apply and the Adopting Employer, at its
discretion, may direct such distributions to be made as a direct transfer to
such other plan without the Participant's consent, if the Participant does not
consent to an immediate distribution.

          (2) If an Adopting Employer does not direct distribution under
paragraph (1), each Participant's Account shall be maintained until distributed
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan (determined without regard to this
section) as though the Plan had not been terminated or contributions
discontinued.

          (b) If the Administrator determines that it is administratively
impracticable to make distributions under this section in cash or that it would
be in the Participant's best interest to make some or all of the distributions
with in-kind property, it shall offer all Participants and Beneficiaries
entitled to a distribution under this section a reasonable opportunity to elect
to receive a distribution of the in-kind property being distributed by the
Trust. Those Participants and Beneficiaries so electing shall receive a
proportionate share of such in-kind property in the form (outright, in trust or
in partnership) that the Administrator determines will provide the most feasible
method of distribution.

          (c) (1) Amounts attributable to elective contributions shall only be
distributable by reason of this section if one of the following is applicable:

(A) the Plan is terminated without the establishment of a successor plan;

                                       45

(B) an Adopting Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated
corporation of substantially all of the assets used by the Adopting Employer in
a trade or business of the Adopting Employer with respect to an Employee who
continues employment with the corporation acquiring such assets; or

(C) an Adopting Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated entity
of the Adopting Employer's interest in a subsidiary with respect to an Employee
who continues employment with such subsidiary.

     (2) For purposes of this section, the term "elective contributions" means
employer contributions made to the Plan that were subject to a cash or deferred
election under a cash or deferred arrangement.

      (3) Elective contributions are distributable under subsections
(c)(1)(B) and (C) above only if the Adopting Employers continue to maintain the
Plan after the disposition.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                             Additional Provisions

          13.1 Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer. In the event of any
merger or consolidation with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any other
plan or to this Plan, each Participant of the Plan shall be entitled to a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, which is equal
to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had been
terminated).

          13.2 Necessity of Initial Qualification. This Plan is established with
the intent that it shall qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code as
those sections exist at the time the Plan is established. If the Internal
Revenue Service determines that the Plan initially fails to meet those
requirements, then within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination,
all of the assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of Participants and
their Beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the contributors to the
Plan in proportion to their contributions, and the Plan shall be considered to
be rescinded and of no force or effect, unless such inadequacy is removed by a
retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code. Any nonvested Matching Contributions
and earnings attributable thereto shall be returned to the Adopting Employers.

        13.3    No Assignment.

          (a) Except as provided herein, the right of any Participant or
Beneficiary to any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be subject to
alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind.

          (b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer
permitted by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to regulations issued under
section 401(a)(13) of the Code.

          (c) Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer pursuant
to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                                       46

          (d) Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer to the
Trust in accordance with section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code to satisfy the
Participant's liabilities to the Plan or Trust in any one or more of the
following circumstances:

(1) the Participant is convicted of a crime involving the Plan;

(2) a civil judgment (or consent order or decree) in an action is brought
against the Participant in connection with an ERISA fiduciary violation; or

(3) the Participant enters into a settlement agreement with the Department of
Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation over an ERISA fiduciary
violation.

          13.4 Limitation of Rights of Employees. This Plan is strictly a
voluntary undertaking on the part of the Adopting Employers and shall not be
deemed to constitute a contract between any of the Adopting Employers and any
Employee, or to be a consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of
the employment of any Employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to
give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of any of the Adopting
Employers or shall interfere with the right of any of the Adopting Employers to
discharge or otherwise terminate the employment of any Employee of an Adopting
Employer at any time. No Employee shall be entitled to any right or claim
hereunder except to the extent such right is specifically fixed under the terms
of the Plan.

          13.5 Construction. The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted
and construed in accordance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA. Any
amendment or restatement of the Plan or Trust that would otherwise violate the
requirements of section 411(d)(6) of the Code or otherwise cause the Plan or
Trust to cease to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code shall be deemed
to be invalid. Capitalized terms shall have meanings as defined herein. Singular
nouns shall be read as plural, masculine pronouns shall be read as feminine and
vice versa, as appropriate. References to "section" or "ARTICLE" shall be read
as references to appropriate provisions of this Plan, unless otherwise
indicated.

          13.6 Company Determinations. Any determinations, actions or decisions
of the Company (including but not limited to, Plan amendments and Plan
termination) shall be made by its Board of Directors in accordance with its
established procedures or by such other individuals, groups or organizations
that have been properly delegated by the Board of Directors to make such
determination or decision.

          13.7 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by, construed and
administered in accordance with ERISA and any other applicable federal law;
provided, however, that to the extent not preempted by federal law, this Plan
shall be governed by, construed and administered under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

                                       47

                                  ARTICLE XIV

        The following terms have the meaning  specified below unless the context
indicates otherwise:

          14.1 Account. The entire interest of a Participant in the Trust Fund.

a corporation is delegated by the Board of Directors, but shall not include any
division, operation or similar cohesive group of the adopting corporation
excluded by the Board of Directors. The Adopting Employers shall be listed in
Exhibit A attached to this Plan.

          14.4 Affiliate. A trade or business that, together with an Adopting
Employer is a member of (i) a controlled group of corporations within the

of the Code, or (iii) an affiliated service group as defined in section 414(m)
of the Code, or which is an entity otherwise required to be aggregated with the
Adopting Employer pursuant to section 414(o) of the Code. For purposes of
ARTICLE VIII, the determination of controlled groups of corporations and trades
or businesses under common control shall be made after taking into account the
modification required under section 415(h) of the Code. All such entities,
whether or not incorporated, shall be treated as a single employer to the extent
required by the Code.

who are entitled to receive benefits from a deceased Participant's Account after
such Participant's death (whether or not such person or persons are expressly so

Beneficiary other than his or her spouse, said designation shall not take effect
unless the spouse consents in writing to such designation and said spousal
consent acknowledges the effect of said designation and is witnessed by a
representative of the Plan or a notary public. Said spousal consent shall be

attains age seventy and one-half (70-1/2); or

          (ii) purchase of an annuity contract from a life insurance company
under tables based on unisex mortality assumptions with all or any portion of
the Participant's 3/31/90 Balance and taking a single lump sum distribution with
respect to any portion of such 3/31/90 Balance not applied to the purchase of
the annuity.

(b) Special Informational Requirement: Information showing the Participant the
financial effects of the various distribution options available with respect to
the 3/31/90 Balance shall be provided to the Participant at least ninety (90)
days prior to the date the Participant becomes eligible for a benefit under the
Plan.

(c) Special Annuity Contract Requirements: The following rules shall apply with
respect to any 3/31/90 Member who elects the annuity contract option:

          (i) The annuity contract shall provide for periodic annuity payments
for the life of the 3/31/90 Member and the continuation of fifty percent (50%)
of the amount of the periodic annuity payments the 3/31/90 Member was receiving
(or was entitled to receive at his date of death) to the 3/31/90 Member's spouse
on the date the annuity payments to the 3/31/90 Member commenced (or, if
earlier, on the date of the 3/31/90 Member's death). The 3/31/90 Member may
revoke such election and elect any other form of benefit; provided, however,
that the 3/31/90 Member may not re-elect the forms of distribution specified
above for a reasonable period of time before the purchase of the annuity
contract, as determined by the Administrator. Such annuity contract may not
contain an "interest only option" form of distribution. The revocation of an
election to have benefits paid in the form of an annuity must be made in the
form and manner prescribed by the Administrator and after the Participant shall
have been furnished with a written explanation of (A) the terms and conditions
of the annuity benefit, (B) the Participant's right to revoke an election of an
annuity benefit, (C) the general financial effect of such an election to revoke,
(D) the requirement that the consent of the Participant's spouse, if any, is
required to make a revocation and (E) the rights of the Participant's spouse, if
any. A Participant's election to revoke the annuity benefit shall be effective
only if it is accompanied by the written notarized consent of the Participant's
spouse, if any, and shall specify the other form of benefit and identify the
beneficiary, if any, and shall acknowledge the effect of the election.

                                       60

          (ii) The annuity contract must provide that benefits will commence no
later than the April first (1st) following the calendar year during which the
Participant attains age seventy and one-half (70-1/2) and, if the spouse of the
3/31/90 Member is not the Participant's Beneficiary, payments under any periodic
payment option offered under the annuity contract to such 3/31/90 Member and his
Beneficiary must be completed during a period not exceeding the life expectancy
of the 3/31/90 Member, or the joint life expectancy of such Participant and his
Beneficiary or, if the Beneficiary is not treated as a natural person, five (5)
years. The forms of distribution offered under the annuity contract must
otherwise satisfy the minimum distribution requirements under the Code.

          (iii) An annuity contract that does not provide for immediate payment
of benefits must provide for all other forms of distribution then available to
the 3/31/90 Member under the Plan at all times prior to the commencement of
benefit payments under such contract.

          (iv) The annuity contract option shall be available to any 3/31/90
Member with respect to any portion of his 3/31/90 Balance that he has elected to
defer.

          (v) Any 3/31/90 Member who elects the annuity contract option shall
have the annuity contract distributed to him in lieu of cash or other property
for the portion of his 3/31/90 Balance that was applied to the purchase of the
annuity contract.

EXHIBIT 4.10

         RAYTHEON CALIFORNIA HOURLY SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN (10012)
                          Effective December 18, 1997

                                   ARTICLE I
                           Establishment of the Plan

        1.1     Establishment of the Plan.  The Raytheon California Hourly
Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan"), which is effective December 18,
1997, provides Participants with a tax-effective means of allocating a
portion of their salary to be invested in one or more investment
opportunities specified in the Plan and set aside for the short-term and
long-term needs of the Participants.  The Plan also provides retirement
benefits for Participants or their Beneficiaries in the event a Participant
becomes disabled or dies before retirement.  It is intended that the Plan
will comply with all of the requirements for a qualified profit sharing plan
under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code and will be amended from time to
time to maintain compliance with these requirements.  The terms used in the
Plan have the meanings specified in ARTICLE XIV unless the context indicates
otherwise.  The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in section
404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 2550.404(c)-1.  Participants in the Plan are responsible for selecting
their own investment opportunities from the options available under the Plan
and the Plan Fiduciaries are relieved of any liability for any losses which
are a direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a
Participant or Beneficiary.

        1.2     Trust. The Trust shall be the sole source of benefits under the
Plan and the Adopting Employers or any Affiliate shall not have any liability
for the adequacy of the benefits provided under the Plan.

        1.3     Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of December 18,
1997, or such other dates as may be specifically provided herein or as
otherwise required by law for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of section
401(a) of the Code.

        1.4     Adoption of Plan.  With the prior approval of the Board of
Directors or an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of Directors
to give such approval, the Plan and Trust may be adopted by any corporation
(hereinafter referred to as an Adopting Employer).  Such adoption shall be
made by the Adopting Employer filing with the Administrator and Trustee a
certified copy of a board of directors (or equivalent) resolution adopting
the Plan and Trust without modification.  The Administrator may require the
Adopting Employer to take such further actions as it deems appropriate to the
proper adoption and operation of the Plan and Trust.  In the event of the
adoption of the Plan and Trust by an Adopting Employer, the Plan and Trust
shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such adoption.

        1.5     Withdrawal of Adopting Employer.

                                       2

                (a)     An Adopting Employer's adoption of this Plan may be
terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily, at any time, as provided in this
section.

                (b)     An Adopting Employer shall withdraw from the Plan and
Trust if the Plan and Trust, with respect to that Adopting Employer, fail to
qualify under sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code (or, in the opinion of
the Administrator, they may fail to so qualify) and the continued sponsorship
of that Adopting Employer may jeopardize the status with respect to the
Company or the remaining Adopting Employers, of the Plan and Trust under
sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code.  The Adopting Employer shall receive
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of a withdrawal under this
subsection, unless a shorter period is agreed to.

                (c)     An Adopting Employer may voluntarily withdraw from the
Plan and Trust for any reason.  Such withdrawal requires at least thirty (30)
days written notice to the Administrator and the Trustee, unless a shorter
period is agreed to.

                (d)     Upon withdrawal, the Trustee shall segregate the assets
attributable to Employees of the withdrawn Adopting Employer, the amount
thereof to be determined by the Administrator and the Trustee.  The
segregated assets shall be held, paid to another trust, distributed or
otherwise disposed of as is appropriate under the circumstances; provided,
however, that any transfer shall be for the exclusive benefit of Participants
and their Beneficiaries.  A withdrawal of an Adopting Employer from the Plan
is not necessarily a termination under ARTICLE XII.  If the withdrawal is a
termination, then the provisions of ARTICLE XII shall also be applicable.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                  Eligibility

        2.1     Eligibility Requirements.  Each Employee who is an Eligible
Employee on the Effective Date shall begin participation in this Plan on the
Effective Date.  Each Eligible Employee who transfers to an Adopting Employer
from General Motors Corporation or one of its affiliates after the Effective
Date and before December 1, 1998, and who immediately prior to such transfer
was a participant in the Hughes California Hourly Employees' Thrift and
Savings Plan, shall begin participation in this Plan on the date of such
transfer.  Each other Eligible Employee and any person who subsequently
becomes an Eligible Employee may join the Plan as of the first Pay Period
coincident with or next following completion of a Period of Service of three
(3) consecutive months commencing on his or her Employment Commencement Date.

                                       3

        2.2   Procedure for Joining the Plan.  Each Eligible Employee who meets
the requirements of section 2.1 may join the Plan by communicating with the
Recordkeeper in accordance with instructions in an enrollment kit which will
be made available to each Eligible Employee.  An enrollment in the Plan shall
not be deemed to have been completed until the Eligible Employee has
designated:  a percentage by which his or her Compensation shall be reduced
as an Elective Deferral in accordance with the requirements of section 3.3,
subject to the nondiscrimination test described in section 3.10; election of
investment funds as described in ARTICLE IV; one or more Beneficiaries; and
such other information as specified by the Recordkeeper.  Enrollment will be
effective as of the first administratively feasible Pay Period following
completion of enrollment.  The Administrator, in its discretion, may from
time to time make exceptions and adjustments in the foregoing procedure on a
uniform and nondiscriminatory basis.

        2.3     Transfer Between Adopting Employers to Position Covered by Plan.
A Participant who is transferred to a position with another Adopting Employer
in which the Participant remains an Eligible Employee will continue as an
active Participant of the Plan.

        2.4     Transfer to Position Not Covered by Plan.  If a Participant is
transferred to a position with an Employer in which the Participant is no
longer an Eligible Employee, the Participant will remain a Participant of the
Plan with respect to Elective Deferrals previously made but shall no longer
be eligible to have Elective Deferrals made to the Plan on his or her behalf
until he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee.  In the event the
Participant is subsequently transferred to a position in which he or she
again becomes an Eligible Employee, the Participant may renew Elective
Deferrals by communicating with the Recordkeeper and providing all of the
information requested by the Recordkeeper.  The renewal of Elective Deferrals
will be effective as of the first administratively feasible Pay Period
following receipt by the Recordkeeper of the requested information.

        2.5     Transfer to Position Covered by Plan.  If an Employee who is not
eligible to participate in the Plan by reason of his or her position with an
Employer is transferred to a position that is eligible to participate in the
Plan, all service performed as an Employee in such noneligible position shall
be treated as a Period of Service for purposes of this ARTICLE.

        2.6     Treatment of Qualified Military Service.  Notwithstanding any
provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service
credit with respect to Qualified Military Service will be provided in
accordance with section 414(u) of the Code.

                                  ARTICLE III
                                 Contributions

        3.1     Matching Contributions. (a)(1)  Each Adopting Employer shall,
in its discretion, make Matching Contributions with regard to Elective
Deferrals and Employee After-Tax Contributions made by its Employees during a
Plan Year.  Each Adopting Employer shall, in its discretion, determine both
the percentage rate of the Elective Deferrals and Employee After-Tax
Contributions that will be matched and any limits on the maximum Matching
Contributions that will be made for any Participant.  Matching Contributions
will be made in such form as is specified in subsection (b).

                                       4

                        (2) Unless otherwise specified by an Adopting Employer,
each Adopting Employer shall make Matching Contributions equal in value to
one hundred percent (100%) of the total Elective Deferrals and Employee
After-Tax Contributions made during that Plan Year by each Participant who is
an Employee of that Adopting Employer, but the total of such Matching
Contributions for any Participant shall not exceed four percent (4%) of a
Participant's Compensation from that Adopting Employer for that Plan Year.

                (b)     The Matching Contribution under subsection (a) shall be
made in either Common Stock or cash that is invested in Common Stock.  The
number of shares of Common Stock contributed by the Adopting Employer or
acquired with Matching Contributions under subsection (a) shall be allocated
to the Participant's Account by the Trustee and such allocation shall equal
the number of shares of Common Stock which the Trustee could have purchased
for the Participant at the Current Market Value.  Such Matching Contribution
shall remain invested in Common Stock until the end of two (2) full Plan
Years following the Plan Year for which such contributions or deferrals are
made.

        3.2   Qualified Nonelective Contributions.  Each Plan Year the Adopting
Employers may contribute to the Trust such amounts as determined by the Board
of Directors in its sole discretion.  Any amounts contributed under this
subsection are to be designated by the Adopting Employers as Qualified
Nonelective Contributions.

        3.3     Elective Deferrals. (a) A Participant may authorize the
Adopting Employer to reduce his or her Compensation on a pre-tax basis and to
correspondingly contribute to the Plan an amount equal to any whole
percentage of Compensation that does not exceed twelve percent (12%) of his
or her Compensation for that Plan Year.

                (b)   A Participant shall not be permitted to defer his or her
Compensation under subsection (a) during any calendar year in excess of nine
thousand five hundred dollars ($9,500) (or such amount as may be permitted in
accordance with regulations issued under section 415(d)(1) of the Code).

                (c)  A Union Officer shall contribute or defer in cash for each
Pay Period for which he or she receives pay as a Union Officer the amount
selected within the limits of and in accordance with the provisions of
section 3.3.  Such contribution shall be made, on a periodic basis as
specified from time to time by the Administrator, to the last Adopting
Employer by which such Participant was employed.  For purposes of this
section, the term "Union Officer" shall mean a Participant who accepts a
leave of absence from the Adopting Employers to assume a paid full-time
position as an elective officer of a union which is the collective bargaining
representative for a collective bargaining unit consisting of or including
Employees, so long as he or she holds such a position if he or she is
entitled, pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement with one of the
Adopting Employers to be a Participant while on such leave of absence and has
not waived such right.

          3.4 Employee After-Tax Contributions. (a) A Participant may authorize
the Adopting Employer to reduce his or her Compensation on an after-tax basis
and to correspondingly contribute to the Plan an amount equal to any whole
percentage of Compensation that does not exceed twelve percent (12%) of his or
her Compensation for that Plan Year.

                                       5

                (b) A Union Officer shall contribute or defer in cash for each
Pay Period for which he or she receives pay as a Union Officer the amount
selected within the limits of and in accordance with the provisions of
section 3.4.  Such contribution shall be made, on a periodic basis as
specified from time to time by the Administrator, to the last Company by
which such Participant was employed.  For purposes of this section, the term
"Union Officer" shall mean a Participant who accepts a leave of absence from
the Adopting Employers to assume a paid full-time position as an elective
officer of a union which is the collective bargaining representative for a
collective bargaining unit consisting of or including Employees, so long as
he or she holds such a position if he or she is entitled, pursuant to a
collective bargaining agreement with one of the Adopting Employers to be a
Participant while on such leave of absence and has not waived such right.

        3.5  Change in Elective Deferrals.  Except as provided in section
3.10, any Participant may change his or her Elective Deferral or Employee
After-Tax Contribution percentage to increase or decrease said percentage by
notifying the Recordkeeper, such change to take effect as of the next
administratively feasible Pay Period.

        3.6     Forfeitures.

                (a)     In the event that a Participant incurs a Severance from
Service before attaining a Nonforfeitable right to his or her Matching
Contributions, the Matching Contribution Account will be forfeited as of the
first day of the month immediately following the earliest of: (i) the date on
which the Participant incurs a Period of Severance of five (5)  consecutive
years; (ii) death; or (iii) the date on which the Participant's Elective
Deferral Account is distributed in accordance with ARTICLE VI.  Forfeitures
of Matching Contributions will be used to reduce future contributions of the
Adopting Employers to the Plan.

                (b) If, in connection with his or her Severance from Service, a
Participant received a distribution of his or her Elective Deferral Account
when he or she did not have a Nonforfeitable right to his or her Matching
Contribution Account, the Matching Contributions that were forfeited,
unadjusted by any subsequent gains or losses, shall be  restored if he or she
again becomes an Employee before incurring a Period of Severance of five (5)
consecutive years, performs an Hour of Service, and repays the full value of
his or her prior distributions, unadjusted for subsequent gains and losses,
before the first to occur of (i) the end of the five- (5) year period
beginning with the date he or she again becomes an Employee or (ii) the date
on which he or she incurs a Period of Severance of five (5) consecutive
years.

        3.7     Rollover Contributions and Transfers.

                (a) Participants may transfer into the Plan qualifying rollover
amounts (as defined in section 402 of the Code) received from other qualified

Code (referred to herein as a "conduit IRA"), subject to the following

later than sixty (60) days from receipt by the Employee of a distribution
from another qualified plan or, in the event that the funds are transferred
from a conduit IRA, no later than sixty (60) days from the date that the
Participant receives such funds from the individual retirement account;

                        (2) the amount of such Rollover Contributions shall not
exceed the limitations set forth in section 402 of the Code;

                        (3) the Rollover Contributions shall be taken into
account by the Administrator in determining the Participant's eligibility for
a loan pursuant to ARTICLE VII;

                        (4) the Rollover Contributions may be distributed at the
request of the Participant, subject to the same administrative procedures as

                        (5) the Rollover Contributions transferred pursuant to
this section 3.7(a) shall be credited to the Participant's Rollover
Contribution Account and invested upon receipt by the Trustee;

                        (6) a Rollover Contribution will not be accepted unless
(A) the Employee on whose behalf the Rollover Contribution will be made is
either a Participant or an Eligible Employee who has notified the
Administrator that he or she intends to become a Participant on the first
date on which he or she is eligible therefor, and (B) all required
information, including selection of specific investment accounts, is provided
to the Recordkeeper - when the Rollover Contribution has been deposited, any
further change in investment allocation of future deferrals or transfer of
account balances between investment funds will be effected through the
procedures set forth in sections 4.2 and 4.3; and

                        (7) under no circumstances shall the Administrator 
accept as a Rollover Contribution amounts which have previously been subject to
federal income tax.

                (b)(1)   The Plan shall accept a transfer of assets, including
elective transfers in accordance with Treas. Regs. section 1.411(d)-4 Q&A-

only if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, agrees to accept such a
transfer.  In determining whether to accept such a transfer, the
Administrator shall consider the administrative inconvenience engendered by
such a transfer and any risks to the continued qualification of the Plan
under section 401(a) of the Code.  Acceptance of any such transfer shall not
preclude the Administrator from refusing any such subsequent transfers.

                                       7

                      (2) Any transfer of assets accepted under this subsection
shall be separately accounted for at all times and shall remain subject to
the provisions of the transferor plan (as it existed at the time of such
transfer) to the extent required by section 411(d)(6) of the Code (including,
but not limited to, any rights to qualified joint and survivor annuities and
qualified preretirement survivor annuities) as if such provisions were part
of the Plan.  In all other respects, however, such transferred assets will be
subject to the provisions of the Plan.  The Administrator may, but is not
required to, describe in an Exhibit to this Plan the special provisions that
must be preserved under section 411(d)(6) of the Code, if any, following the

                        (3)  Assets accepted under this section shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable.

                        (4)  Eligible Employees who were active participants in

Notwithstanding the provisions of ARTICLE XII, if, or to the extent that, any
Adopting Employers' deductions for contributions made to the Plan are
disallowed, such Adopting Employer will have the right to obtain the return
of any such contributions for a period of one (1) year from the date of
disallowance.  For this purpose, all contributions are made subject to the
condition that they are deductible under the Code for the taxable year of the
Adopting Employers for which the contributions are made.  Furthermore, any
contribution made on the basis of a mistake in fact may be returned to the
Adopting Employers within one (1) year from the date such contribution was
made.

        3.9    Payment.  The Adopting Employers shall pay to the Trustee in U.S.
currency, or by other property acceptable to the Trustee, all contributions
for each Plan Year within the time prescribed by law, including extensions
granted by the Internal Revenue Service for filing the federal income tax
return of the Company for its taxable year in which such Plan Year ends.
Unless designated by the Adopting Employers as nondeductible, all
contributions made, other than Employee After-Tax Contributions, shall be
deemed to be conditioned on their current deductibility under section 404 of
the Code.

        3.10    Limits for Highly Compensated.

(a)     Elective Deferrals, Employee After-Tax Contributions, Matching
Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions allocable to the
Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees shall not in any Plan Year exceed
the limits specified in this section.  The Administrator may make the
adjustments authorized in this section to ensure that the limits of
subsection (b) (or any other applicable limits) are not exceeded, regardless
of whether such adjustments affect some Participants more than others.  This
section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with sections
401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

                                       8

(b)     (1)     The Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated
Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

(A)     one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Actual Deferral
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants; or

(B)     the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual Deferral
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants or the Actual Deferral
Percentage for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2) percentage
points.

(2)     The Actual Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees
shall not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

(A)     one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Actual Contribution
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants; or

(B)     the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual Contribution
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants or the Actual Contribution
Percentage for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2) percentage
points.

(3)     The sum of the Actual Deferral Percentage and the Actual Contribution
Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan
Year, the sum of:

(A)     one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the greater of:

(i)     the Actual Deferral Percentage of the other Eligible Participants; or

(ii)    the Actual Contribution Percentage of the other Eligible Participants;
and

(B)     two plus the lesser of:

(i)     the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i); or

(ii)    the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii); provided that the amount in this
paragraph (3)(B) shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the lesser of
the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i) or the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii).

(4)     The limitations under section 3.10(b)(3) shall be modified to reflect
any higher limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Service under
regulations, notices or other official statements.

(c)     The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

                                       9

(1)     Actual Contribution Percentage.  The average of the ratios for a
designated group of Employees (calculated separately for each Eligible
Participant in the group) of the sum of the Matching Contributions, Employee
After-Tax Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions (other than
those treated as part of the Actual Deferral Percentage), and Elective
Deferrals (other than those treated as part of the Actual Deferral
Percentage) allocated for the applicable year on behalf of the Participant,
divided by the Participant's Compensation for such applicable year.  The
"applicable year" for determining the Actual Contribution Percentage for the
group of Highly Compensated Employees shall be the current Plan Year.  For
all other Eligible Participants, the "applicable year" for determining the
Actual Contribution Percentage shall be the immediately preceding Plan Year,
unless in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, the Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

(2)     Actual Deferral Percentage.  The average of the ratios for a designated
group of Eligible Participants (calculated separately for each Eligible
Participant in the group) of the sum of the Elective Deferrals and Qualified
Nonelective Contributions (other than those treated as part of the Actual
Contribution Percentage) allocated for the applicable year on behalf of a
Participant, divided by the Participant's Compensation for such applicable
year.  The "applicable year" for determining the Actual Deferral Percentage
for the group of Highly Compensated Employees shall be the current Plan Year.
For all other Eligible Participants, the "applicable year" for determining
the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be the immediately preceding Plan Year,
unless in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, the Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

(3)     Compensation.  The Employee's wages that are required to be reported on
IRS Form W-2, increased by any Elective Deferrals made by the Employer on
behalf of the Employee under this Plan or any other plan of the Employer with
a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under section 401(k) of the Code and
any pre-tax elective contributions made by the Employer that are excludible
from the Employee's income under section 125 of the Code.

(4)     Eligible Participant.  Any Employee of an Adopting Employer who is
authorized under the terms of the Plan to make Elective Deferrals or have
Qualified Nonelective Contributions allocated to his or her Account for the
Plan Year.

(d)     For purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the Actual
Contribution Percentage test of section 401(m), all employee and matching
contributions that are made under two (2) or more plans that are aggregated
for purposes of sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) (other than section
410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are to be treated as made under a single plan and that if
two (2) or more plans are permissively aggregated for purposes of section
401(m), the aggregated plans must also satisfy sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b)
as though they were a single plan.

(e)     In calculating the Actual Contribution Percentage for purposes of
section 401(m), the actual contribution ratio of a Highly Compensated
Employee will be determined by treating all plans subject to section 401(m)
under which the Highly Compensated Employee is eligible (other than those
that may not be permissively aggregated) as a single plan.

                                       10

(f)     For purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the Actual
Deferral Percentage test of section 401(k), all elective contributions that
are made under two (2) or more plans that are aggregated for purposes of
section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are to be
treated as made under a single plan and that if two (2) or more plans are
permissively aggregated for purposes of section 401(k), the aggregated plans
must also satisfy sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as though they were a single
plan.

(g)     In calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage for purposes of section
401(k), the actual deferral ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee will be
determined by treating all cash or deferred arrangements under which the
Highly Compensated Employee is eligible (other than those that may not be
permissively aggregated) as a single arrangement.

(h)     An elective contribution will be taken into account under the Actual
Deferral Percentage test of section 401(k)(3)(A) of the Code for a Plan Year
only if it is allocated to the Employee as of a date within that Plan Year.
For this purpose, an elective contribution is considered allocated as of a
date within a Plan Year if the allocation is not contingent on participation
or performance of services after such date and the elective contribution is
actually paid to the Trust no later than twelve (12) months after the Plan
Year to which the contribution relates.

        3.11    Correction of Excess Contributions.

(a)     Excess Contributions shall be corrected as provided in this section.
The Administrator may also prevent anticipated Excess Contributions as
provided in this section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction
or prevention provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it
determines in its sole discretion.  This section shall be administered and
interpreted in accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b)     The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c)     (1)     An Adopting Employer may, in its sole discretion, elect to
contribute, as provided in section 3.2, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution
in an amount necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section
3.10.

(2)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be
allocated to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated
Employees.  Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated first to
the Participant with the lowest Compensation for that Plan Year and any
remaining Qualified Nonelective Contributions thereafter shall be allocated
to the Participant with the next lowest Compensation for that Plan Year.
This allocation method shall continue in ascending order of Compensation
until all such Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated.  The
allocation to any Participant shall not exceed the limits under section 415
of the Code.  If two or more Participants have identical Compensation, the
allocations to them shall be proportional.

                                       11

(3)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be
contributed to the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such
Plan Year.

(4)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall only be allocated to
Participants who receive Compensation during the Plan Year for which such
contribution is made.

(d)     The Administrator may, during a Plan Year, distribute to a Participant
(or such Participant's Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased), any or
all Excess Contributions or Excess Deferrals (whether Elective Deferrals or
Qualified Nonelective Contributions) allocable to that Participant's Account
for that Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.  Such
distribution may include earnings or losses (if any) attributable to such
amounts, as determined by the Administrator.

(e)     (1)     The Administrator may recharacterize any or all Excess
Contributions for a Plan Year as Employee After-Tax Contributions in
accordance with the provisions of this subsection.  Any Excess Contributions
that are so recharacterized shall be treated as if the Participant had
elected to instead receive cash Compensation on the earliest date that any
Elective Deferral made on behalf of the Participant during the Plan Year
would have been received had the Participant originally elected to receive
such amount in cash and then contributed such amount as an Employee After-Tax
Contribution.  To the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service,
however, such recharacterized Excess Contributions shall continue to be
treated as if such amounts were not recharacterized.

(2)     The Administrator shall report any recharacterized Excess Contributions
as Employee After-Tax Contributions to the Internal Revenue Service and to
the affected Participants at such times and in accordance with such
procedures as are required by the Internal Revenue Service.  The
Administrator shall take such other actions regarding the amounts so
recharacterized as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service.

(3)     Excess Contributions may not be recharacterized under this subsection
more than two and one-half (21/2) months after the close of the Plan Year to
which the recharacterization relates.  Recharacterization is deemed to occur
when the Participant is so notified (as required by the Internal Revenue
Service).

(4)     The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable
year ending in the same Plan Year and Excess Deferrals to be distributed for
a taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed
or recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

                                       12

(f)     (1)    The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Contributions
for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.  Such
distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan Year and within
twelve (12) months of the close of such Plan Year.  In the event of the
termination of the Plan, such distribution shall be made within twelve (12)
months after such termination.  Such distribution shall include the income
allocable to the amounts so distributed, as determined under this subsection.
The Administrator may make any special allocations of earnings or losses
necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.  A distribution of
an Excess Contribution under this subsection may be made without regard to
any notice or consent otherwise required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and
417 of the Code.

(2)     (A)     The income allocable to Excess Contributions distributed under
this subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year.
Income includes all earnings and appreciation, including such items as
interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property,
appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance
contracts, and other property, without regard to whether such appreciation
has been realized.

(B)     The allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year may be determined under
any reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator.
Alternatively, the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine such
allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year under the method set forth in
subparagraph (C).

(C)     Under this method, the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year is
determined by multiplying the income for the Plan Year allocable to Elective
Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Excess Contributions by the Participant for the
Plan Year and the denominator of which is the total Account balance of the
Participant attributable to Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as
Elective Deferrals) as of the beginning of the Plan Year, increased by any
Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by the
Participant for the Plan Year.

(3)     Amounts distributed under this subsection (or other provisions of this
section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's
subaccounts in the following order:

(A)     from the Participant's Elective Deferral Account (if such Excess
Contribution is attributable to Elective Deferrals); and

(B)     from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution account (if
such Excess Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions).

(g)     (1)     The term "Excess Contributions" shall mean, with respect to a
Plan Year, the excess of the Elective Deferrals (including any Qualified
Nonelective Contributions and Matching Contributions that are treated as
Elective Deferrals under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code) on
behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the
maximum amount of such contributions permitted under sections 401(k)(2) and
401(k)(3) of the Code.  For this purpose, the maximum amount of contributions
permitted under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code shall be
determined in accordance with the leveling method prescribed in Treas. Regs.
section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2), or such other method as promulgated thereafter.

                                       13

(2)     Any distribution or recharacterization of Excess Contributions for a
Plan Year, as determined under subsection (1) above, shall be made to the
Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by,
or on behalf of, each such Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with the
procedure described herein.  The Highly Compensated Employees with the
highest amount of contributions shall have their contributions distributed or
recharacterized to the extent required to eliminate the Excess Contributions
or, if it results in a lower distribution or recharacterization, to the
extent required to cause such Highly Compensated Employees' contributions to
equal the amount of contributions of the Highly Compensated Employees with
the next highest level of contributions.  This procedure shall be repeated
until the Excess Contributions are completely distributed or recharacterized.

(3)     The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable
year ending in the same Plan Year and Excess Deferrals to be distributed for
a taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed
or recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

        3.12    Correction of Excess Deferrals.

(a)     Excess Deferrals shall be corrected as provided in this section.  The
Administrator may also prevent anticipated Excess Deferrals as provided in
this section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction or
prevention provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it
determines in its sole discretion.  A distribution of an Excess Deferral
under this section may be made without regard to any notice or consent
otherwise required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.  This
section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with sections
401(k) and 402(g) of the Code.

(b)     The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Deferrals to
the Participant on whose behalf such Excess Deferrals were made before the
close of the Applicable Taxable Year.  Distributions under this subsection
include income allocable to the Excess Distribution so distributed, as
determined under this subsection.

(2)     Distribution under this subsection shall only be made if all the
following conditions are satisfied:

(A)     the Participant seeking the distribution designates the distribution as
an Excess Deferral;

(B)     the distribution is made after the date the Excess Deferral is received
by the Plan; and

(C)     the Plan designates the distribution as a distribution of an Excess
Deferral.

(3)     The income allocable to the Excess Deferral distributed under this
subsection shall be determined in the same manner as under subsection (d)(3),
except that income shall only be determined for the period from the beginning
of the Applicable Taxable Year to the date on which the distribution is made.

                                       14

(d)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Deferrals to
the Participant on whose behalf such Excess Deferrals were made after the
close of the Applicable Taxable Year.  Distribution under this subsection
shall only be made if the Participant timely provides the notice required
under subsection (d)(2) and such distribution is made after the Applicable
Taxable Year and before the first April 15 following the close of the
Applicable Taxable Year.  Distributions under this subsection shall include
income allocable to the Excess Deferrals so distributed, as determined under
this subsection.

(2)     Any Participant seeking a distribution of an Excess Deferral in
accordance with this subsection must notify the Administrator of such request
no later than the first March 15 following the close of the Applicable
Taxable Year.  The Administrator may agree to accept notification received
after such date (but before the first April 15 following the close of the
Applicable Taxable Year) if it determines that it would still be
administratively practicable to make such distribution in view of the delayed
notification.  The notification required by this subsection shall be deemed
made if a Participant's Elective Deferrals to the Plan in any Plan Year
create an Excess Deferral.

(3)     The income allocable to the Excess Deferral distributed under this
subsection shall be determined in the same manner as under section
3.11(f)(2), except that the term "Excess Deferrals" shall be substituted for
"Excess Contributions" and the term "Applicable Taxable Year" shall be
substituted for "Plan Year."  The Administrator may make any special
allocations of earnings or losses necessary to carry out the provisions of
this subsection.

(e)     The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

(1)     Applicable Taxable Year.  The taxable year (for federal income tax
purposes) of the Participant in which an Excess Deferral must be included in
gross income (when made) in accordance with section 402(g) of the Code.

(2)     Excess Deferral.  A Participant's Elective Deferrals (and other
contributions limited by section 402(g) of the Code), for an Applicable
Taxable Year that are in excess of the limits imposed by section 402(g) of
the Code for such Applicable Taxable Year.

        3.13    Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a)     Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be corrected as provided in this
section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction or prevention
provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it determines in its
sole discretion.  This section shall be administered and interpreted in
accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b)     The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed to a Participant.

(c)     (1)     The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to contribute, as
provided in section 3.2, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution in an amount
necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section 3.10.

                                       15

(2)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be
allocated to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated
Employees.  Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated first to
the Participant with the lowest Compensation for that Plan Year and any
remaining Qualified Nonelective Contributions thereafter shall be allocated
to the Participant with the next lowest compensation for that Plan Year.
This allocation method shall continue in ascending order of Compensation
until all such Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated.  The
allocation to any Participant shall not exceed the limits under section 415
of the Code.  If two or more Participants have identical Compensation, the
allocations to them shall be proportional.

(3)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be
contributed to the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such
Plan Year.

(4)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall only be allocated to
Participants who receive Compensation during the Plan Year for which such
contribution is made.

(d)     The Administrator may, during a Plan Year, distribute to a Participant
(or such Participant's Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased), any or
all Excess Aggregate Contributions allocable to that Participant's Account
for that Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.  Such
distribution may include earnings or losses (if any) attributable to such
amounts, as determined by the Administrator.

(e)     (1)     The Administrator may forfeit any or all Excess Aggregate
Contributions for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection.  The amounts so forfeited shall not include any amounts that are
nonforfeitable under ARTICLE V.

(2)     Any forfeitures under this subsection shall be made in accordance with
the procedures for distributions under subsection (f) except that such
amounts shall be forfeited instead of being distributed.

(f)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Aggregate
Contributions for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection.  Such distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan
Year and within twelve (12) months of the close of such Plan Year.  Such
distributions shall be specifically designated by the Administrator as a
distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions.  In the event of the complete
termination of the Plan, such distribution shall be made within twelve (12)
months after such termination.  Such distribution shall include the income
allocable to the amounts so distributed, as determined under this subsection.
The Administrator may make any special allocations of earnings or losses
necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.  A distribution of
an Excess Aggregate Contribution under this subsection may be made without
regard to any notice or consent otherwise required pursuant to sections
411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

                                       16

(2)     (A)     The income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions
distributed under this subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for
the Plan Year.  Income includes all earnings and appreciation, including such
items as interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of
property, appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life
insurance contracts, and other property, without regard to whether such
appreciation has been realized.

(B)     The allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year may be determined under
any reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator.
Alternatively, the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine such
allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year under the method set forth in
subparagraph (C).

(C)     Under this method, the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year is
determined by multiplying  the income for the Plan Year allocable to employee
contributions, matching contributions and amounts treated as matching
contributions by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate
Contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of
which is the total Account balance of the Participant attributable to
employee contributions, matching contributions and amounts treated as
matching contributions as of the beginning of the Plan Year, increased by the
employee contributions, matching contributions and amounts treated as
matching contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year.

(3)     Amounts distributed under this subsection (or other provisions of this
section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's
Account in the following order:

(A)     from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account (if
such Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions);

(B)     from the Participant's Employee After-Tax Contribution Account (if such
Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Employee After-Tax
Contributions); and

(C)     from the Participant's Matching Contribution Account (if such Excess
Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Matching Contributions).

(g)     (1)     The term "Excess Aggregate Contributions" shall mean, with
respect to a Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of the matching
contributions and employee contributions (including any Qualified Nonelective
Contributions or elective deferrals taken into account in computing the
Actual Contribution Percentage) actually made on behalf of eligible Highly
Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such
contributions permitted under section 401(m)(2)(A) of the Code.  For this
purpose, the maximum amount of contributions permitted under section
401(m)(2)(A) of the Code shall be determined in accordance with the leveling
method described in section 3.11(g)(1) of the Plan.

                                       17

(2)     Any distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year, as
determined under subsection (1) above, shall be made to the Highly
Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by, or on
behalf of, each such Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with the
procedure described herein.  The Highly Compensated Employees with the
highest amount of contributions shall have their contributions distributed to
the extent required to eliminate the Excess Aggregate Contributions or, if it
results in a lower distribution, to the extent required to cause such Highly
Compensated Employees' contributions to equal the amount of contributions of
the Highly Compensated Employees with the next highest level of
contributions.  This procedure shall be repeated until the Excess Aggregate
Contributions are completely distributed.

(3)     The terms "employee contributions" and "matching contributions" shall,
for purposes of this section, have the meanings set forth in Treas. Reg.
1.401(m)-1(f).

        3.14    Correction of Multiple Use.

(a)     If the limitations of Treas. Reg. 1.401(m)-2 are exceeded for any Plan
Year, then correction shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this
section.  This section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance
with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b)     Any correction required by this section shall be calculated and
administered in accordance with the provisions for correcting Excess
Contributions (in section 3.11), Excess Aggregate Contributions (in section
3.13) or both, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion.  Any
correction required by this section, to the extent possible, shall be made
only with respect to those Highly Compensated Employees who are eligible in
both the arrangement subject to section 401(k) of the Code and the Plan, as
subject to section 401(m) of the Code.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                             Investment of Accounts

funds in the Participant's Account be invested in increments of one percent
(1%) in one or more of the following investment funds:

                        (1)     Fund A.  An equity fund designated by the

                        (4)     Fund D.  A stock index fund designated by the
Administrator;

                        (5)     Fund E.  A balanced fund designated by the
Administrator;

                                       18

                        (6)     Fund F.  A growth fund designated by the
Administrator, investing primarily in equities of companies of all types and
sizes;

                        (7)     Fund G.  A growth fund designated by the
Administrator, investing primarily in equities of well-known and established
companies;

                        (8)     Fund H.  General Motors Class H stock fund;

                        (9)     Fund I.  Raytheon Company Class A stock fund.

                (b)     Amounts contributed to a Participant's Matching
Contribution Account must be invested in Fund C (Common Stock fund) until the
end of two (2) full Plan Years following the Plan Year for which such
contributions are made.  Thereafter, a Participant may designate the
investment of the Matching Contribution funds in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (a) above.

                (c)    The only assets that may be invested in Fund H or Fund I
are the General Motors Class H stock and cash directly transferred from the
Hughes California Hourly Employees' Thrift and Savings Plan pursuant to
section 3.7(b)(4).  A Participant may not direct that any other funds in the
Participant's Account be invested in Fund H or Fund I.  Notwithstanding
subsection (d) below, the Administrator shall maintain Fund H and Fund I as
investment options under the Plan, subject to the limitations prescribed in
this subsection (c), for five (5) complete Plan Years following the Effective
Date; provided, however, that if at any time prior to the expiration of such
five (5) year period, the aggregate fair market value of the assets invested
in either Fund H or Fund I falls below five percent (5%) of the highest fair
market value of the assets invested in Fund H or Fund I, respectively, the
Administrator may, with six (6) months written notice to affected
Participants, eliminate Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, as investment
options under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may
eliminate one or both funds at any time if the Administrator determines in
good faith that such elimination is necessary under applicable law (including
without limitation the prudence requirements of ERISA).  When Fund H and Fund
I are eliminated in accordance with this section 4.1(c), Participants with
assets invested in Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, shall direct the transfer
of such assets to other funds available under the Plan or, if no such
election is made, the Administrator shall transfer such assets to Fund B or a
similar low risk fixed income fund as determined by the Administrator in its
discretion.

                (d)  In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time
designate new funds and, where appropriate, preclude investment in existing
funds and provide for the transfer of Accounts invested in those funds to
other funds selected by the Participant or, if no such election is made, to
Fund B or similar low risk fixed income fund as determined by the
Administrator in its discretion.

                (e)  Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
above, a Participant's investment election will apply to the entire Account
of the Participant.

                                       19

                (f) In establishing rules and procedures under section 4.1, the
following shall apply:

                      (1)   Each Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee
shall affirmatively elect to self-direct the investment of assets in his or
her Account, but such election may provide for default investments in the
absence of specific directions from such Participant, Beneficiary or
Alternate Payee.

                      (2)   The investment directions of a Participant shall
continue to apply after that Participant's death or incompetence until the
Beneficiary (or, if there is more than one Beneficiary for that Account, all
of the Beneficiaries), guardian or other representatives provide contrary
direction.

                      (3) The Administrator may decline to implement investment
designations if such investment, in the Administrator's judgment:

                          (A)   would result in a prohibited transaction under
section 4975 of the Code;

                          (B)   would generate income taxable to the Trust
Fund;

                          (C)   would not be in accordance with the Plan and
Trust;

                          (D)   would cause a Fiduciary to maintain the indicia
of ownership of any assets of the Trust Fund outside the jurisdiction of the
district courts of the United States other than as permitted by section
404(b) of ERISA and Labor Reg. 2550.404(b)-1;

                          (E)   would jeopardize the Plan's tax qualified
status under the Code;

                          (F)   could result in a loss in excess of the amount
credited to the Account; or

                          (G)   would violate any other requirements of the
Code or ERISA.

                    (4)   Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and
(c) above, the Administrator may establish reasonable restrictions on the
frequency with which investment directions may be given, consistent with
section 404(c) of ERISA.

                    (5)   The Administrator may establish limits on the use of
brokers, investment counsel or other advisors that may be utilized, including
specifying that all investments must be made through a designated broker or
brokers.

                    (6)   The Administrator may establish limits on the types
of investments that are permitted.

                                       20

                (g)   Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
above, the Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures as may be
advisable or necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, with such
rules and procedures being consistent with section 404(c) of ERISA.

                (h)  The Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures
as may be advisable or necessary to reasonably ensure that all transactions
involving the investment funds comply with all applicable laws, including the
securities laws.

        4.2     Change in Investment Allocation of Future Deferrals.  Except as
otherwise prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each Participant may elect
to change the investment allocation of future contributions effective as of
the first administratively feasible  Business Day subsequent to telephone
notice to the Recordkeeper.  Any changes must be made either in increments of
one percent (1%) of the Participant's Account or in a specified whole dollar
amount and must result in a total investment of one hundred percent (100%) of
the Participant's Account.

        4.3   Transfer of Account Balances Between Investment Funds.  Except as
otherwise prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each Participant may elect
to transfer all or a portion of the amount in his or her Account between
investment funds effective as of the first administratively feasible Business
Day following telephone notice to the Recordkeeper.  In determining the
amount of the transfer, the Participant's Account shall be valued as of the
close of business on the Business Day on which telephone notice is received;
provided, however, that in any case where the telephone notice is received
after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on
the date of the call), the Account shall be valued as of the close of
business on the next Business Day.  Such transfers must be made in either one
percent (1%) increments of the entire Account or in a specified amount in
whole dollars and, as of the completion of the transfer, must result in
investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Account.  Transfers shall be
effected by telephone notice to the Recordkeeper.

        4.4     Ownership Status of Funds.  The Trustee shall be the owner of
record of the assets in the funds specified as Funds A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
and I and such other funds as may be established by the Administrator.  The
Administrator shall have records maintained as of the Valuation Date for each
fund allocating a portion of the fund to each Participant who has elected
that his or her Account be invested in such fund.  The records shall reflect
each Participant's portion of Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds
as may be established by the Administrator, in a cash amount and shall
reflect each Participant's portion of Funds C, H and I in cash and unitized
shares of stock.

                                       21

        4.5     Voting Rights.  Participants whose Account has shares of
participation in Funds C or I on the last business day of the second month
preceding the record date (the "Voting Eligibility Date") for any meeting of
stockholders have the right to instruct the Trustee as to voting at such
meeting.  The number of votes is determined by dividing the value of the
shares in the Participant's Account in Funds C or I, as applicable, by the
closing price of the respective classes of stock on the Voting Eligibility
Date.  If the Trustee has not received instructions from a Participant as to
voting of shares within a specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote
those shares.  If a Participant furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote
direction card without indicating a voting choice thereon, the Trustee shall
vote the Participant's shares as recommended by management.  In addition,
each Participant shall have the right to accept or reject any tender or
exchange offer for shares of the respective classes of stock.  The Trustee
shall vote (or tender or exchange) all combined fractional shares of the
respective classes of stock to the extent possible in the same proportion as
the shares which have been voted (or tendered or exchanged) by each
Participant.  Any instructions as to voting (or tender or exchange) received
from an individual Participant shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and
shall not be divulged to the Adopting Employers or to any officer or employee
thereof or to any other person.

        4.6     Allocation of Earnings.

                (a) (1)   The Administrator, as of each Valuation Date, shall
adjust the amounts credited to the Accounts (including Accounts for persons
who are no longer Employees) so that the total of such Account balances
equals the fair market value of the Trust Fund assets as of such Valuation
Date.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any changes in the fair market
value of the Trust Fund assets since the preceding Valuation Date shall be
charged or credited to each Account in the ratio that the balance in each
such Account as of the preceding Valuation Date bears to the balances in all
Accounts as of that Valuation Date with appropriate adjustments to reflect
any distributions, allocations or similar adjustments to such Account or
Accounts since that Valuation Date.

                    (2)  To the extent that separate investment funds are
established (as provided in section 4.1), the adjustments required by
subsection (a)(1) shall be made by applying subsection (a)(1) separately for
each such investment fund so that any changes in the net worth of each such
investment fund are charged or credited to the portion of each Account
invested in such investment fund in the ratio that the portion of each such
Account invested in such investment fund as of the preceding Valuation Date
(reduced by any distributions made from that portion of such Account since
that Valuation Date) bears to the total amount credited to such investment
funds as of that Valuation Date (reduced by distributions made from such
investment fund since that Valuation Date).

                    (3)   Interim valuations, in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, may be made at such time or times as the Administrator directs.

                (b)   The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, direct the
Trustee to segregate and separately invest any Trust Fund assets.  If any
assets are segregated in this fashion, the earnings or losses on such assets
shall be determined apart from other Trust assets and shall be adjusted on
each Valuation Date, or at such other times as the Administrator deems
necessary, in accordance with this section.

                                       22

                                   ARTICLE V
                                    Vesting

        5.1     Elective Deferral, Employee After-Tax Contributions, Rollover
Contribution and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts.  Each
Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable right to any amounts in the
Participant's Elective Deferral, Employee After-Tax Contribution, Rollover
Contribution and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts.

        5.2     Matching Contribution Account.

(a)     Each Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable right to his or her
Matching Contribution Account upon the earliest of:

(1) the Participant's completion of a Period of Service of five (5) years;

(2) the Participant's completion of a Period of Participation of three (3)
years;

(3) the Participant's Retirement, death while an Employee, Disability or
attainment of Normal Retirement Age; or

Military Service.

        5.3     Break in Service Rules

                (a)  Periods of Service.  In determining the length of a Period
of Service, the Administrator shall include all Periods of Service, except
the following Periods of Service shall not be taken into account:

                        (1) in the case of a Participant who has not made
Elective Deferrals to the Plan, the Period of Service before any Period of
Severance which equals or exceeds five (5) consecutive years; and

                        (2) in the case of a Participant who has made Elective
Deferrals to the Plan and who has incurred a Period of Severance which equals
or exceeds five (5) years, the Period of Service after such Period of
Severance shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the
nonforfeitable interest of such Participant in the Matching Contributions
allocated to his or her Account before such Period of Severance.

                (b)     Periods of Severance.  In determining the length of a
Period of Service for purposes of section 14.40, the Administrator shall
include any period of time beginning on an Employee's Severance from Service
Date and ending on the date on which he or she is next credited with an Hour
of Service, provided that such Hour of Service is credited within the twelve-
(12) consecutive month period following such Severance from Service Date.

                                       23

                (c)  Other Periods.  In making the determinations described in
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the second, third, and fourth
consecutive years of a Layoff (from the first anniversary of the last day
paid to the fourth anniversary of the last day paid) and any period in excess
of one (1) year of an Authorized Leave of Absence shall be regarded as
neither a Period of Service nor a Period of Severance.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                    Withdrawals and Distribution of Benefits

        6.1  In-Service Withdrawals - Matching Contributions.  Upon completion
of a Period of Participation of five (5) years, a Participant may withdraw,
subject to a minimum withdrawal amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250),
all or part of the Participant's Matching Contribution Account.  Withdrawals
will be based upon the value of the Account as determined under section 6.16.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may be
established by the Administrator will be made in cash; withdrawals from Funds
C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or
uninvested shares) as directed by the Participant.  Funds for the withdrawal
will be taken on a pro rata basis against the Participant's investment fund
balances in the Participant's Matching Contribution Account.

        6.2     In-Service Withdrawals -- Elective Deferral and Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Accounts.  While an Employee, a Participant may
withdraw all or a portion of his or her Elective Deferral Account and
Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account on or after attainment of age
fifty-nine and one-half (591/2).

        6.3     In-Service Withdrawal -- Hardship.

                (a) A Participant who has experienced a hardship, as described
in this section, may withdraw from his or her Elective Deferral Account
amounts attributable to Elective Deferrals (adjusted for net losses, if any).
Whether a Participant is entitled to a withdrawal under this section is to be
determined by the Administrator in accordance with nondiscriminatory and
objective standards.  In order to be entitled to a hardship withdrawal under
this section, a Participant must satisfy the requirements of both subsection
(b) and subsection (c).

                (b)  A Participant will be deemed to have experienced an
immediate and heavy financial need necessary to satisfy the requirements of
this subsection if the withdrawal is on account of:

                         (1)  medical expenses described in section 213(d) of
the Code incurred by the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any
dependents of the Participant;

                          (2)  the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal resident of the Participant;

                           (3)  payment of tuition for the next twelve (12)
months of post-secondary education for the Participant or his or her spouse,
children or dependents; or

                                       24

                                (4)   the need to prevent the eviction of the
Participant from his or her principal residence or the foreclosure on the
mortgage of the Participant's principal residence.

                (c)(1)     A withdrawal under this subsection will be deemed
necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant
if it satisfies the requirements of this subsection.  To the extent the
amount of the withdrawal would be in excess of the amount required to relieve
the financial need of the Participant or to the extent such need may be
satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the
Participant, such withdrawal shall not satisfy the requirements of this
subsection.  For purposes of this subsection, a Participant's resources shall
be deemed to include those assets of his or her spouse or minor children that
are reasonably available to the Participant.

                      (2) A withdrawal may be treated as necessary to satisfy a
financial need if the Administrator reasonably relies upon the Participant's
representation that the need cannot be relieved:

                           (A)  through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise;

                            (B)  by reasonable liquidation of the Participant's
assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and
heavy financial need;

                            (C)  by cessation of Elective Deferrals under the
Plan for at least twelve (12) months after receipt of the hardship
withdrawal;

                            (D)  by other distributions or nontaxable (at the
time of the loan) loans from plans maintained by the Adopting Employers or by
any other employer or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable
commercial terms.

          (d) If a Participant receives a withdrawal for reasons of financial
hardship, the Participant's Elective Deferrals shall be reduced to four percent
(4%) (or such lower percentage as the Participant shall thereafter designate),
if in excess thereof as of the date of the distribution, and shall not be
increased during the twelve (12) months immediately subsequent to the date of
distribution.

          (e) Withdrawals of less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) will not
be permitted.

          (f) Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.

          (g) Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.

                                       25

          (h) Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds
as may be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash. Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or
unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

          (i) Funds for the withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis against
the Participant's investment fund balances in the Participant's Elective
Deferral Account.

        6.4     In-Service Withdrawal -- Rollover Contribution Account.  A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Rollover Contribution
Account.  Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.  Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made
as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash.  Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional
or unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.  Withdrawals of less than
two hundred fifty dollars ($250) will not be permitted.

        6.5     In-Service Withdrawals -- Employee After-Tax Contributions.  A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Employee After-Tax
Contributions. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.  Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made
as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash.  Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional
or unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

        6.6     Redeposits Prohibited.  No amount withdrawn pursuant to sections
6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5 may be redeposited in the Plan.

        6.7     Distribution of Benefits.

                (a)  All benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid in the
manner and at the times specified in this ARTICLE.  Any payments to
Participants or Beneficiaries shall be made in cash (or cash equivalents)
except as otherwise provided herein.  Distributions may be made wholly or
partly by an in-kind distribution of assets held by the Trust Fund if the
distributee consents to such an in-kind distribution and the Administrator
determines that such an in-kind distribution is not administratively
burdensome.

                (b)  All payment methods and distributions shall comply with the
requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder and, if necessary, shall be interpreted to so comply.
The provisions of this ARTICLE apply to all amounts credited to an Account,
regardless of the source of such amounts.  All distributions shall comply
with the incidental death benefit requirement of section 401(a)(9)(G) of the
Code.  Distributions shall comply with the regulations under section
401(a)(9) of the Code, including Treas. Reg. 1.401(a)(9)-2.  The provisions
of the Plan reflecting section 401(a)(9) of the Code override any
distribution provisions in the Plan inconsistent with section 401(a)(9).

                                       26

                (c)     Distribution of the Participant's Account (to which the
Participant has a Nonforfeitable right) will be made at the direction of the
Participant (or his or her legal representative or Beneficiary in the case of
his or her Disability or death) upon the Retirement, Disability, death or
Severance from Service of the Participant.  In the event the Participant dies
or his or her Severance from Service occurs after his or her Normal
Retirement Age, or if the value of the Nonforfeitable portion of the
Participant's Account as of the Valuation Date which coincides with or
immediately precedes the date of distribution is not in excess of three
thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500), the Administrator shall cause the
distribution to automatically be made.

          (d) Payment will be made in the form of a lump-sum distribution of the
entire amount in the Participant's Account (to which the Participant has a
Nonforfeitable right), which will be paid as soon as practicable following
notification to the Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon Company,
Lexington, Massachusetts, of the Retirement, death, Disability or Severance from
Service and a telephone request by the Participant to the Recordkeeper for the
distribution. Distributions will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16. Distribution of the amounts in said accounts in
the funds designated in Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may
be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash. Distribution of the
amounts in Funds C, H and I (if any) will be made in either cash or stock, at
the election of the Participant or, in the case of death, the Participant's
Beneficiary. Partial deferrals will not be permitted. If there is no Beneficiary
surviving a deceased Participant at the time payment of his or her Account is to
be made, such payment shall be made in a lump-sum to the person or persons in
the first following class of successive Beneficiaries surviving, any
testamentary devise or bequest to the contrary notwithstanding: the
Participant's (1) spouse, (2) children and issue of deceased children by right
of representation, (3) parents, (4) brothers and sisters and issue of deceased
brothers and sisters by right of representation, or (5) executors or
administrators. If no Beneficiary can be located during a period of seven (7)
years from the date of death, the amount of the distribution shall revert to the
Trust and be treated in the same manner as a forfeiture under section 3.6.

          (e) If the Participant dies before the time when distribution is
considered to have commenced in accordance with applicable regulations, then any
remaining portion of the Participant's interest will be distributed within five
(5) years after the Participant's death. If a distribution is considered to have
commenced in accordance with the applicable regulations before the Participant's
death, the remaining interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Participant's death.

          (f) Except as provided by section 401(a)(9) of the Code as set forth
in this section, benefits in the Plan will be distributed to each Participant
not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following events occurs:

         (1)     attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement Age;

         (2)     the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which
Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or

                                       27

         (3)     Participant's Severance from Service.

        6.8   Mandatory Distributions.

            A Participant who has attained age seventy and one-half (701/2) and
is subject to the mandatory distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9)
shall receive a lump sum distribution of the Participant's Account (to which
the Participant has a nonforfeitable right) at the time distributions must
commence in order to comply with such requirements.  If additional amounts
are allocated to the Participant's Account following such lump sum
distribution, additional lump sum distributions of the Participant's Account
(to which the Participant has a nonforefeitable right) shall be made at such

                (a)     A Participant may elect that all or any portion of a

                (b)(1)  The Administrator shall determine and apply rules and
procedures as it deems reasonable with respect to Direct Rollovers in
addition to, or in lieu of, those set forth in subsection (b)(2).  The
Administrator may change such rules and procedures from time to time and
shall not be bound by any previous rules and procedures it has applied.

                                       28

        6.13    Notice and Payment Elections.

                (a)     The Administrator shall provide Participants or other
Distributees of Eligible Rollover Distributions with a written notice
designed to comply with the requirements of section 402(f) of the Code.  Such
notice shall be provided within a reasonable period of time before making an
Eligible Rollover Distribution.

                (b)  Any elections concerning the payment of benefits under
section 6.7 shall be made on a form prescribed by the Administrator.  The
Participant or other Distributee shall submit a completed form to the
Administrator at least thirty (30) days before payment is scheduled to
commence, unless the Administrator agrees to a shorter time period.  Any
election made under this section shall be revocable until thirty (30) days
before payment is scheduled to commence.

                (c) An election to have payment made in a Direct Rollover shall
only be valid if the Participant or other Distributee provides adequate
information to the Administrator for the implementation of such Direct
Rollover and such reasonable verification as the Administrator may require
that the transferee is an Eligible Retirement Plan.

        6.14    Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

                (a)     Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan,
payments shall be made in accordance with any judgment, decree or order
determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                (b)(1)     If the Plan receives a Domestic Relations Order, the
Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee
of the receipt of such order and of the Plan's procedures for determining
whether such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  The
Administrator shall, within a reasonable period after receipt of such order,
determine whether it is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify the
Participant and each Alternate Payee of that determination.

                                       30

                   (2)     During any period in which the issue of whether a
Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being
determined, the Administrator shall separately account for the amounts that
would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the
order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                (c)(1)     A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of
this subsection only if such order clearly specifies the following:

                       (A)     the name and last known mailing address (if
any) of the Participant and the name and mailing address of each Alternate
Payee covered by the order;

                        (B)     the amount or the percentage of the
Participant's benefits to be paid by the Plan to each such Alternate Payee or
the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined;

                        (C)     the number of payments or period to which such
order applies; and

                        (D)     each plan to which such order applies.

                   (2)     A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of
this subsection only if such order does not:

                        (A)     require the Plan to provide any type or form of
benefit or any option not otherwise provided under the Plan;

                         (B)     require the Plan to provide increased benefits
(determined on the basis of actuarial value); and

                         (C)     does not require the payment of benefits to an
Alternate Payee that are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under
another order previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order.

          (d) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing to meet
the requirements of section 6.14(c)(2)(A) solely because such order requires
that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee:

                    (1)     in the case of any payment before a Participant has
separated from service, on or after the date on which the Participant attains
(or would have attained) the Earliest Retirement Date;

                    (2)     as if the Participant had retired on the date on
which such payment is to begin under such order (but taking into account only
the present value of the benefits actually accrued and not taking into
account the present value of any employer subsidy for early retirement); and

                                       31

                    (3)    in any form in which such benefits may be paid under
the Plan to the Participant (other than in the form of a qualified joint and
survivor annuity with respect to the Alternate Payee and his or her
subsequent spouse).

          (e) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing to meet
the requirements of section 6.14(c)(2)(A) solely because such order requires
that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee at a date before the
Participant is entitled to receive a distribution. Such distribution shall be
made to such Alternate Payee notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.

          (f)     The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

                  (1)     Alternate Payee.  Any spouse, former spouse, child or
other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a Domestic Relations
Order as having a right to benefits under the Plan with respect to such
Participant.

                   (2)     Domestic Relations Order.  A judgment, decree or
order relating to child support, alimony or marital property rights, as
defined in section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code.

                   (3)     Earliest Retirement Date.  The earlier of:

                          (A)     the date on which the Participant is entitled
to a distribution under the Plan; or

                          (B)     the later of:

                              (i)     the date the Participant attains age
fifty (50); or

                              (ii)    the earliest date on which the
Participant could begin receiving benefits under the Plan if the Participant
separated from service.

                    (4)     Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  A Domestic
Relations Order that satisfies the requirements of subsection (c) and section
414(p)(1)(A) of the Code.

          (g) If an Alternate Payee entitled to payment under this section is
the spouse or former spouse of a Participant and payment will otherwise be made
in an Eligible Rollover Distribution, then such spouse or former spouse may
elect that all, or any portion, of such payment shall instead be transferred as
a Direct Rollover. Such Direct Rollover shall be governed by the requirements of
section 6.12.

          (h) If a Domestic Relations Order directs that payment be made to an
Alternate Payee before the Participant's Earliest Retirement Date and such
Domestic Relations Order otherwise qualifies as a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, then the Domestic Relations Order shall be treated as a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order and such payment shall be made to the Alternate Payee,
even though the Participant is not entitled to receive a distribution under the
Plan because he or she continues to be an Employee of one of the Adopting
Employers.

                (i)     This section shall be interpreted and administered in
accordance with section 414(p) of the Code.

                                       32

        6.15    Lost Beneficiaries.

                (a)     All Participants and Beneficiaries shall have the
obligation to keep the Administrator informed of their current address until
such time as all benefits due have been paid.

                (b)   If any amount is payable to a Participant or Beneficiary
who cannot be located to receive such payment, such amount may, at the
discretion of the Administrator, be forfeited; provided, however, that if
such Participant or Beneficiary subsequently claims the forfeited amount, it
shall be reinstated and paid to such Participant or Beneficiary.  Such
reinstatement may, in the Administrator's sole discretion, be made from
Company Contributions, forfeitures or Trust earnings, and shall be treated as
a special allocation that supersedes the normal allocation rules.

                (c)  If the Administrator has not, after due diligence, located
a Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to payment within three (3)
years after the Participant's Severance from Service, then, at the discretion
of the Administrator, such person may be presumed deceased for purposes of
this Plan.  Any such presumption of death shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all parties.

        6.16    Determination of Amount of Withdrawal or Distribution.  In
determining the amount of any withdrawal or distribution hereunder, the
Participant's Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received; provided, however, that
in any case where the telephone notice is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time (daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on the date of the call),
the Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Business
Day.

        6.17    Offsets.  Any transfers or payments made from a Participant's
Account to a person other than the Participant pursuant to the provisions of
this Plan shall reduce the Participant's Account and offset any amounts
otherwise due to such Participant.  Such transfers or payments shall not be
considered a forfeiture for purposes of the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                     Loans

        7.1   Availability of Loans.  Participants may borrow against all or a
portion of the balance in the Participant's Elective Deferral Account,
Employee After-Tax Contribution Account and Rollover Contribution Account,
and the Matching Contribution Account if the Participant has a Nonforfeitable
right thereto pursuant to section 5.2, subject to the limitations set forth
in this ARTICLE.  Participants who have incurred a Severance from Service
will not be eligible for a Plan loan.  The Vice President, Human Resources,
is authorized to administer this loan program.

        7.2     Minimum Amount of Loan.  No loan of less than five hundred
dollars ($500) will be permitted.

                                       33

        7.3   Maximum Amount of Loan.  No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%)
of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance will be permitted.  In
addition, limits imposed by the Code and any other requirements of applicable
statute or regulation will be applied.  Under the current requirements of the
Code, if the aggregate value of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Account
balance exceeds twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), the loan cannot exceed the
lesser of one-half (1/2) the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance or
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) reduced by the excess of (a) the highest
outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one-year period ending
on the day before the date on which such loan was made over (b) the
outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which such loan was
made.

        7.4   Effective Date of Loans.  Loans will be effective as specified in
the Administrator's rules then in effect.

        7.5     Repayment Schedule.  The Participant may select a repayment
schedule of one, two, three, four or five (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) years.  If the
loan is used to acquire any dwelling which, within a reasonable time is to be
used (determined at the time the loan is made) as the principal residence of
the Participant, the repayment period may be extended up to fifteen (15)
years at the election of the Participant.  All repayments will be made
through payroll deductions in accordance with the loan agreement executed at
the time the loan is made, except that, in the event of the sale of all or a
portion of the business of the Employer or one of the Adopting Employers, or
other unusual circumstances, the Administrator, through uniform and equitable
rules, may establish other means of repayment.  The loan agreement will
permit repayment of the entire outstanding balance in one lump-sum.  The
minimum repayment amount per pay period is ten dollars ($10) for Participants
paid weekly and fifty dollars ($50) for Participants paid monthly.  The
repayment schedule shall provide for substantially level amortization of the
loan.  Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted under
section 414(u) of the Code.

        7.6     Limit on Number of Loans.  No more than two (2) loans may be
outstanding at any time.

        7.7     Interest Rate.  The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this
ARTICLE will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal
on the first business day in June and December of each year.  The rate
published on the first business day in June will apply to loans which are
effective at any time during the period July 1 through December 31
thereafter; the rate published on the first business day of December will
apply to loans which are effective at any time during the period January 1
through June 30 thereafter.

                                       34

        7.8     Effect Upon Participant's Elective Deferral Account.  Upon the
granting of a loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in
the Participant's Account to the respective investment funds will be reduced
on a pro rata basis and replaced by the loan balance which will be designated
as an asset in the Account.  Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the
Participant's Accounts in the following sequence, with no reduction of the
succeeding Accounts until prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan:
Matching Contribution Account; Elective Deferral Account; Rollover
Contribution Account; and Employee After-Tax Contribution Account.  Upon
repayment of the principal and interest, the loan balance will be reduced,
the Participant Accounts will be increased in the reverse order in which they
were exhausted by the loan, and the loan payments will be allocated to the
respective investment funds in accordance with the investment election then
in effect.

        7.9     Effect of Severance From Service and Nonpayment.  In the event
that a loan remains outstanding upon the Severance from Service of a
Participant, the Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay
the outstanding loan.  In any case where payments on the outstanding loan are
not made within ninety (90) days of the Participant's Severance from Service
Date, the amount of any unpaid principal will be deducted from the
Participant's account and reported as a distribution.  If, as a result of
Layoff or Authorized Leave of Absence, a Participant, although still in a
Period of Service, is not being compensated through the Employer's payroll
system, loan payments will be suspended until the earliest of the first pay
date after the Participant returns to active employment with the Employer,
the Participant's Severance from Service Date, or the expiration of twelve
(12) months from the date of the suspension.  In the event the Participant
does not return to active employment with the Employer, the Participant will
be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding loan.  If the
Participant fails to resume payments on the loan, the outstanding loan will
be reported as a taxable distribution.  In no event, however, shall the loan
be deducted from the Participant's Account earlier than the date on which the
Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service, or, (ii) attains age fifty-
nine and one-half (59-1/2).

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      Contribution and Benefit Limitations

        8.1     Contribution Limits.

                (a)     The Annual Additions that may be allocated to a
Participant's Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

                        (1)     thirty thousand dollars ($30,000); or

                        (2)     twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's
Compensation for that Limitation Year.

                (b)    If the Employer maintains any other Defined Contribution
Plans then the limitations in subsection (a) shall be computed with reference
to the aggregate Annual Additions for each Participant from all such Defined
Contribution Plans.

                                       35

                (c)  If the Annual Additions for a Participant would exceed the
limits specified in this section, then the Annual Additions under this Plan
for that Participant shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent such
limits from being exceeded.  Such reduction shall be made in accordance with
section 8.4.

        8.2     Overall Limits.

                (a)     If a Participant is participating in both a Defined
Contribution Plan and a Defined Benefit Plan of the Employer, then the sum of
the Defined Contribution Fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction for any
Limitation Year shall not exceed 1.0.

                (b)     If the sum of the Defined Contribution Fraction and the
Defined Benefit Fraction would exceed 1.0, then the annual benefits under the
Defined Benefit Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the sum
of such fractions does not exceed 1.0.

        8.3     Annual Adjustments to Limits.  The dollar limits for Annual
Additions and the dollar limits in the Defined Benefit Fraction and Defined
Contribution Fraction shall be adjusted for cost-of-living to the extent
permitted under section 415 of the Code.

        8.4     Excess Amounts.

                (a) The foregoing limits shall be limits on the allocation that
may be made to a Participant's Account in any Limitation Year.  If an excess
Annual Addition would otherwise result from allocation of forfeitures,
reasonable errors in determining Compensation or other comparable reasons,
then the Administrator may take any (or all) of the following steps to
prevent the excess Annual Additions from being allocated:

                        (1)  return any contributions from the Participant, as
long as such return is nondiscriminatory;

                        (2)   hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense
account and apply the balance of the suspense account against Matching
Contributions for that Participant made in succeeding years;

                        (3)   hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense
account and apply the balance of the suspense account against succeeding year
Matching Contributions;

                        (4) reallocate the excess amounts to other Participants.

                (b)  Any suspense account established under this section shall
not be credited with income or loss unless otherwise directed by the
Administrator.  If a suspense account under this section is to be applied in
a subsequent Limitation Year, then the amounts in the suspense account shall
be applied before any Annual Additions (other than forfeitures) are made for
such Limitation Year.

                                       36

        8.5     Definitions.

                (a)  The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective Deferrals);

                           (B)     Employee contributions;

                           (C)     forfeitures; and

                           (D)     amounts described in Code sections 415(l)(1)
and 419A(d)(2).

                        (2) Defined Benefit Fraction.  A fraction, the numerator
of which is the Projected Annual Benefit of the Participant under all Defined
Benefit Plans of the Employer (determined as of the close of the Limitation
Year) and the denominator of which is the Projected Annual Benefit the
Participant would have under such plans (determined as of the close of the
Limitation Year) if such plans provided an annual benefit equal to the lesser
of:

                           (A)     the product of 1.25 multiplied by ninety
thousand dollars ($90,000); or

                           (B)     the product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred
percent (100%) of the Participant's average Compensation for the
Participant's three (3) consecutive Years of Service that produce the highest
average Compensation.

                   For purposes of determining the Defined Benefit Fraction of
a Participant who was employed by an Adopting Employer on December 18, 1997
or who transferred to an Adopting Company from General Motors Corporation or
one of its affiliates after such date and before December 1, 1998, service
for and Compensation received from General Motors Corporation and its
affiliates, if any, shall be taken into account, and the Projected Annual
Benefit under any Defined Benefit Plan of the Employer shall not be reduced
as a result of the transfer of any assets or liabilities from a Defined
Benefit Plan maintained by General Motors Corporation and its affiliates.

                                       37

section 401(a) of the Code that is not a Defined Contribution Plan.

                        (4)     Defined Contribution Fraction.  A fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant's
Accounts as of the close of the Limitation Year, and the denominator of which
is equal to the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for
such Limitation Year and for each prior year of service with the Employer:

                               (A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by thirty
thousand dollars ($30,000); or

                               (B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Participant's Compensation.

          For purposes of determining the Defined Contribution Fraction of a
Participant, services performed for, Compensation paid by and Annual Additions

into account.

                        (5) Defined Contribution Plan.  A plan qualified under
section 401(a) of the Code that provides an individual account for each
Participant and benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the
Participant's Account, plus any income, expenses, gains and losses, and
forfeitures of other Participants which may be allocated to such
Participant's account.

                        (6) Limitation Year.  The Plan Year, until the Employer
adopts a different Limitation Year.

                        (7) Projected Annual Benefit.  The annual benefit to
which a Participant would be entitled, assuming:

                               (A) the Participant continues in employment until
Normal Retirement Age under the Plan;

                               (B)     the Participant's Compensation for the

the Limitation Year will remain constant.

                (b) For purposes of this ARTICLE, the term "Compensation" shall
mean all amounts paid to an Employee for personal service actually rendered
to the Employer, including, but not limited to, wages, salary, commissions,
bonuses, overtime and other premium pay as specified in Treas. Reg. 1.415-
2(d)(2), but excluding deferred compensation, stock options, and other
distributions that receive special tax treatment as specified in Treas. Reg.
1.415-2(d)(3).  For Plan Years beginning after 1997, Compensation for this
purpose will include salary reduction amounts under section 125 cafeteria plans
and section 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans.  This definition shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of section 415 of
the Code.

                                       38

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                Top-Heavy Rules

        9.1     General.  This ARTICLE shall only be applicable if the Plan
becomes a Top-Heavy Plan under section 416 of the Code.  If the Plan does not
become a Top-Heavy Plan, then none of the provisions of this ARTICLE shall be
operative.  The provisions of this ARTICLE shall be interpreted and applied
in a manner consistent with the requirements of section 416 of the Code and
the regulations thereunder.

        9.2     Vesting.

                (a)     If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, then amounts in a
Participant's Account attributable to Matching Contributions shall be vested
in accordance with this section, in lieu of ARTICLE V, to the extent this
section produces a greater degree of vesting.  This section shall only apply
to Participants who have at least an Hour of Service after the Plan becomes a
Top-Heavy Plan.

                (b)     If applicable, amounts in a Participant's Account
attributable to Matching Contributions shall vest as follows:

              Years of
        Top Heavy Service               Vested Percentage

        Fewer than 3                              0%
        3 or more                               100%


                (c)  If the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan then subsection
(b) shall no longer be applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall
the vested percentage of any Participant be reduced by reason of the Plan
ceasing to be a Top-Heavy Plan.  Subsection (b) shall nevertheless continue
to apply for any Participant who was previously covered by it and who has at
least three (3) Years of Top-Heavy Service.

        9.3     Minimum Contribution.

                (a)   For each Plan Year that the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the
Adopting Employers shall make a contribution to be allocated directly to the
Account of each Non-Key Employee.

                (b)  The amount of the contribution (and forfeitures) required
to be contributed and allocated for a Plan Year by this section is three
percent (3%) of the Top-Heavy Compensation for that Plan Year of each Non-Key
Employee who is both a Participant and an Employee on the last day of the
Plan Year for which the contribution is made, with adjustments as provided
herein.  If the contribution allocated to the Accounts of each Key Employee
for a Plan Year is less than three percent (3%) of his or her Top-Heavy
Compensation, then the contribution required by the preceding sentence shall
be reduced for that Plan Year to the same percentage of Top-Heavy
Compensation that was allocated to the Account of the Key Employee whose
Account received the greatest allocation of contributions for that Plan Year,
when computed as a percentage of Top-Heavy Compensation.

                                       39

                (c)  The contribution required by this section shall be reduced
for a Plan Year to the extent of any Company Contributions made and allocated
under this Plan or any other contributions from the Adopting Employers made
and allocated under this or any other Aggregated Plans.  Elective Deferrals
shall be treated as if they were Company Contributions for purposes of
determining any minimum contributions required under subsection (b).

        9.4     Definitions.

                (a)     The following terms shall have the meanings specified
herein:

                        (1) Aggregated Plans.

                            (A)  The Plan, any plan that is part of a "required
aggregation group" and any plan that is part of a "permissive aggregation
group" that the Adopting Employers treat as an Aggregated Plan.

                            (B)  The "required aggregation group" consists of
each plan of the Adopting Employers in which a Key Employee participates (in
the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4)
preceding Plan Years) and each other plan of the Adopting Employers which
enables any plan of the Adopting Employers in which a Key Employee
participates to meet the requirements of section 401(a)(4) or section 410(b)
of the Code.  Also included in the required aggregation group shall be any
terminated plan that covered a Key Employee and was maintained within the
five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date.

                            (C)  The "permissive aggregation group" consists of
any plan not included in the "required aggregation group" if the Aggregated
Plan described in subparagraph (A) above would continue to meet the
requirements of section 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code with such additional
plan being taken into account.

                        (2)  Determination Date.  The last day of the preceding
Plan Year, or, in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day
of such plan year.  The computations made on the Determination Date shall
utilize information from the immediately preceding Valuation Date.

                        (3) Key Employee.

                            (A)   An Employee (or former Employee) who, at any
time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the
four (4) preceding Plan Years, is:

                                 (i)   An officer of one of the Adopting
Employers with annual Top-Heavy Compensation for the Plan Year greater than
fifty percent (50%) of the amount in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the
Code for the calendar year in which that Plan Year ends;

                                       40

                                 (ii)  one of the ten (10) Employees owning (or
considered as owning under section 318 of the Code) the largest interest in
one of the Adopting Employers, who has more than one-half of one percent
(.5%) interest in such Adopting Employer, and who has annual Top-Heavy
Compensation for the Plan Year at least equal to the maximum dollar
limitation under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in
which that Plan Year ends;

                                 (iii)   a five percent (5%) or greater
shareholder in one of the Adopting Employers; or

                                 (iv)  a one percent (1%) shareholder in one of
the Adopting Employers with annual Top-Heavy Compensation from the Adopting
Employer of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).

                            (B)     For purposes of paragraphs (3)(A)(iii) and
(3)(A)(iv), the rules of section 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Code shall not
apply.  Beneficiaries of an Employee shall acquire the character of such
Employee and inherited benefits will retain the character of the benefits of
the Employee who performed services.

                        (4)  Non-Key Employee.  Any Employee who is not a Key
Employee.

                        (5)  Super Top-Heavy Plan. A Top-Heavy Plan in which the
sum of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits and accounts for
Key Employees exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the comparable sum determined
for all Employees.  The foregoing determination shall be made in the same
manner as the determination of a Top-Heavy Plan under this section.

                        (6) Top-Heavy Compensation.  The term Top-Heavy
Compensation shall have the same meaning as the term Compensation has under
section 8.5(b).

                        (7) Top-Heavy Plan.  The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a
Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date for that Plan Year, the sum of
(i) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees
under all Defined Benefit Plans that are Aggregated Plans and (ii) the
aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under all Defined Contribution
Plans that are Aggregated Plans exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the comparable
sum determined for all Employees.

                        (8) Years of Top-Heavy Service.  The number of Years of
Service with the Adopting Employers that might be counted under section
411(a) of the Code, disregarding all service that may be disregarded under
section 411(a)(4) of the Code.

                (b) The definitions in this section and the provisions of this
ARTICLE shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with section 416 of the
Code.

                                       41

        9.5     Special Rules.

                (a)     For purposes of determining the present value of the
cumulative accrued benefit for any Participant or the amount of the Account
of any Participant, such present value or amount shall be increased by the
aggregate distributions made with respect to such Participant under the Plan
during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date and the four (4)
preceding Plan Years (if such amounts would otherwise have been omitted).

                (b)     (1)   In the case of unrelated rollovers and transfers,
(i) the plan making the distribution or transfer is to count the distribution
as a distribution under section 416(g)(3) of the Code, and (ii) the plan
accepting the rollover or transfer is not to consider the rollover or
transfer as part of the accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was
accepted after December 31, 1983, but is to consider it as part of the
accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was accepted before January 1,
1984.  For this purpose, rollovers and transfers are to be considered
unrelated if they are both initiated by the Employee and made from a plan
maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer.

                        (2) In the case of related rollovers and transfers, the
plan making the distribution or transfer is not to count the distribution or
transfer under section 416(g)(3) of the Code, and the plan accepting the
rollover or transfer counts the rollover or transfer in the present value of
the accrued benefits.  For this purpose, rollovers and transfers are to be
considered related if they are not unrelated under subsection (b)(1).

                (c) If any individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any
plan for any Plan Year, but such individual was a Key Employee with respect
to such plan for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefit for such Employee
(and the account of such Employee) shall not be taken into account.

                (d) Beneficiaries of Key Employees and former Key Employees are
considered to be Key Employees and Beneficiaries of Non-Key Employees and
former Non-Key Employees are considered to be Non-Key Employees.

                (e) The accrued benefit of an Employee who has not performed
any service for the Adopting Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during
the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date is excluded from
the calculation to determine top-heaviness.  However, if an Employee performs
no services, such Employee's total accrued benefit is included in the
calculation for top-heaviness.

        9.6     Adjustment of Limitations.

                (a) If this section is applicable, then the contribution and
benefit limitations in section 8.5 shall be reduced.  Such reduction shall be
made by modifying section 8.5(a)(2)(A) of the definition of Defined Benefit
Fraction to instead be "(i) the product of 1.0 multiplied by ninety thousand
dollars ($90,000), or" and by modifying section 8.5(a)(4)(A) of the
definition of Defined Contribution Fraction to instead be "(i) the product of
1.0 multiplied by thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), or".

                                       42

                (b) This section shall be applicable for any Plan Year in which
either:

                        (1) the Plan is a Super Top-Heavy Plan, or

                        (2) the Plan both is a Top-Heavy Plan (but not a Super
Top-Heavy Plan) and provides contributions (and forfeitures) to the Account
of any Non-Key Employee in an amount less than four percent (4%) of such
Participant's Top-Heavy Compensation, as determined in accordance with
section 9.3(b).

                                   ARTICLE X
                                 The Trust Fund

        10.1    Trust.  During the period in which this Plan remains in

Trust with a corporation and/or individual(s) as Trustee, to hold, invest,
and distribute the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of such Trust.

        10.2    Investment of Accounts.  The Trustee shall invest and reinvest
the Participant's accounts in investment options as defined in section 4.1 as
directed by the Administrator or its delegate.  The Administrator shall issue

Participants which shall remain in force until altered in accordance with
sections 4.2 and 4.3.

        10.3    Expenses.  Expenses of the Plan and Trust shall be paid from the

                                   ARTICLE XI
                           Administration of The Plan

        11.1    General Administration.  The general administration of the Plan
shall be the responsibility of the Company (or any successor thereto) which
shall be the Administrator and named Fiduciary for purposes of ERISA.  The
Company shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to construe the
terms of the Plan and to make determinations as to eligibility for benefits
and as to other issues within the "Responsibilities of the Administrator"
described in this ARTICLE.  All such determinations of the Company shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.

        11.2    Responsibilities of the Administrator.  Except as otherwise

be by written instrument.

        11.3 Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries.  Each Fiduciary shall be
responsible only for the duties allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary, and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary
responsibility with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary
unless:

                (a) The Fiduciary knowingly participates in or knowingly
attempts to conceal the act or omission of such other Fiduciary  and knows
that such act or omission constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility by
the other Fiduciary;

                (b) The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary
responsibility by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable efforts
under the circumstances to remedy the breach; or

                (c) The Fiduciary's own breach of his or her specific fiduciary
responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach.  No
Fiduciary shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his
or her assumption of Fiduciary status or after his or her termination from
such status.

                                       44

        11.4    Employment by Fiduciaries.  Any Fiduciary hereunder may employ,
with the written approval of the Administrator, one or more persons to render
service with regard to any responsibility which has been assigned to such

counsel and may delegate to one or more persons any administrative duties
(clerical or otherwise) hereunder.

        11.5    Recordkeeping.  The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept
any necessary data required for determining the Account status of each
Participant.  In compiling such information, the Administrator may rely upon
its employment records, including representations made by the Participant in
the employment application and subsequent documents submitted by the
Participant to the Employer.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such
information when furnished by the Administrator or its delegate.  Each
Employee shall be required to furnish the Administrator upon request and in
such form as prescribed by the Administrator, such personal information,
affidavits and authorizations to obtain information as the Administrator may
deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, including but not
limited to proof of the Employee's date of birth and the date of birth of any
person designated by a Participant as a Beneficiary.

        11.6    Claims Review Procedure.

(a)     The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the right of any
person to Accounts under the Plan.  Any such determination by the
Administrator shall be made pursuant to the following procedure:

          (1) Step 1. Claims with respect to an Account should be filed by a
claimant as soon as practicable after the claimant knows or should know that a
dispute has arisen with respect to an Account, but at least thirty (30) days
prior to the claimant's actual retirement date or, if applicable, within sixty
(60) days after the death, Disability or Severance from Service of the
Participant whose Account is at issue, by mailing a copy of the claim to the
Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon-Hughes, Inc., 141 Spring Street,
Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

          (2) Step 2. In the event that a claim with respect to an Account is
wholly or partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator shall, within
ninety (90) days following receipt of the claim, so advise the claimant in
writing setting forth: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; specific
reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant
to perfect the claim; an explanation as to why such material or information is
necessary; and an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

          (3) Step 3. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of the denial of
a claim with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have the denial
appealed shall file a request for review with the Administrator by mailing a
copy thereof to the address shown in subsection (a)(1).

                                       45

          (4) Step 4. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a request for
review, the Administrator shall provide the claimant a further opportunity to
present his or her position. At the Administrator's discretion, such
presentation may be through an oral or written presentation. Prior to such
presentation, the claimant shall be permitted the opportunity to review
pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing. Within a
reasonable time following presentation of the claimant's position, which usually
should not exceed thirty (30) days, the Administrator shall inform the claimant
in writing of the decision on review setting forth the reasons for such decision
and citing pertinent provisions in the Plan.

                (b)  The Administrator is the Fiduciary to whom the Plan grants
full discretion, with the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to
determine whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount,
form and timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter under the Plan
which is raised by a claimant or identified by the Administrator.  All
questions arising from or in connection with the provisions of the Plan and
its administration, not herein provided to be determined by the Board of
Directors, shall be determined by the Administrator, and any determination so
made shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons affected thereby.

        11.7    Indemnification of Directors and Employees.  The Adopting
Employers shall indemnify by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a
director, officer or Employee of the Employer, his or her heirs and legal
representatives, against all liability and reasonable expense, including
counsel fees, amounts paid in settlement and amounts of judgments, fines or
penalties, incurred or imposed upon him in connection with any claim, action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
by reason of acts or omissions in his or her capacity as a Fiduciary
hereunder, provided that such act or omission is not the result of gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  The Adopting Employers may indemnify other
Fiduciaries, their heirs and legal representatives, under the  circumstances,
and subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, if such
indemnification is determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best
interests of the Adopting Employers.

        11.8    Immunity from Liability.  Except to the extent that section
410(a) of ERISA prohibits the granting of immunity to Fiduciaries from
liability for any responsibility, obligation, or duty imposed under Title I,
Subtitle B, Part 4, of said Act, an officer, Employee, member of the Board of
Directors of the Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this
Plan shall be immune from any liability for any action or failure to act
except such action or failure to act which results from said officer's,

                                  ARTICLE XII
                        Amendment Or Termination Of Plan

        12.1    Right to Amend or Terminate Plan.  Each of the Adopting 
Employers reserves the right at any time or times, by action of its board of 
directors to modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part as to its
Employees, in which event a certified copy of the resolution of the board of
directors, authorizing such modification, amendment or termination shall be
delivered to the Trustee and to the other Adopting Employers whose Employees
are covered by this Plan, provided, however, that no amendment to the Plan
shall be made which shall:

                                       46

(a) reduce any vested right or interest to which any Participant or Beneficiary
is then entitled under this Plan or otherwise reduce the vested rights of a
Participant in violation of section 411(d)(6) of the Code;

(b) vest in the Adopting Employers any interest or control over any assets of
the Trust;

(c) cause any assets of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other
than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries; or

(d) change any of the rights, duties or powers of the Trustee without its
written consent.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section or any other
provisions of this Plan, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be made
retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan with, or to
satisfy the conditions of, ERISA, the Code, or any other law, governmental
regulation or ruling. Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the Board of Directors. In the alternative,
subject to the conditions prescribed in subsections 12.1(a) through (e), the
Plan may be amended by an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of
Directors to amend the Plan, provided, however, that any such amendment does
not, in the view of such officer, materially increase costs of the Plan to the
Company or any Adopting Employer.

          12.2 Amendment to Vesting Schedule. Any amendment that modifies the
vesting provisions of ARTICLE IV shall either:

(a)     provide for a rate of vesting that is at least as rapid for any
Participant as the vesting schedule previously in effect; or

(b)     provide that any adversely affected Participant with a Period of
Service of at least three (3) years may elect, in writing, to remain under
the vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment.  Such election must be
made within sixty (60) days after the later of the:

(1)     adoption of the amendment;

(2)     effective date of the amendment; or

(3)     issuance by the Company of written notice of the amendment.

        12.3    Maintenance of Plan.  The Company has established the Plan with
the bona fide intention and expectation that it will be able to make its
contributions indefinitely, but the Company is not and shall not be under any
obligation or liability whatsoever to continue its contributions or to
maintain the Plan for any given length of time.

        12.4  Termination of Plan and Trust.  The Plan and Trust hereby created
shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

                (a) Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination executed
by the Company specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall
terminate; or

                                       47

                (b) Adjudication of the Company as bankrupt or general
assignment by the Company to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution
of the Company.

         12.5    Distribution on Termination.

(a)     (1)     If the Plan is terminated, or contributions permanently
discontinued, an Adopting Employer, at its discretion, may (at that time or
at any later time) direct the Trustee to distribute the amounts in a
Participant's Account in accordance with the distribution provisions of the
Plan.  Such distribution shall, notwithstanding any prior provisions of the
Plan, be made in a single lump-sum without the Participant's consent as to
the timing of such distribution.  If, however, an Adopting Employer (or an
Affiliate) maintains another defined contribution plan (other than an
employee stock ownership plan), then the preceding sentence shall not apply
and the Adopting Employer, at its discretion, may direct such distributions
to be made as a direct transfer to such other plan without the Participant's
consent, if the Participant does not consent to an immediate distribution.

          (2) If an Adopting Employer does not direct distribution under
paragraph (1), each Participant's Account shall be maintained until distributed
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan (determined without regard to this
section) as though the Plan had not been terminated or contributions
discontinued.

(b)     If the Administrator determines that it is administratively
impracticable to make distributions under this section in cash or that it
would be in the Participant's best interest to make some or all of the
distributions with in-kind property, it shall offer all Participants and
Beneficiaries entitled to a distribution under this section a reasonable
opportunity to elect to receive a distribution of the in-kind property being
distributed by the Trust.  Those Participants and Beneficiaries so electing
shall receive a proportionate share of such in-kind property in the form
(outright, in trust or in partnership) that the Administrator determines will
provide the most feasible method of distribution.

(c)     (1)     Amounts attributable to elective contributions shall only be
distributable by reason of this section if one of the following is
applicable:

(A)     the Plan is terminated without the establishment of a successor plan;

(B)     an Adopting Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated
corporation of substantially all of the assets used by the Adopting Employer
in a trade or business of the Adopting Employer with respect to an Employee
who continues employment with the corporation acquiring such assets; or

(C)     an Adopting Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated
entity of the Adopting Employer's interest in a subsidiary with respect to an
Employee who continues employment with such subsidiary.

                                       48


(2)     For purposes of this section, the term "elective contributions" means
employer contributions made to the Plan that were subject to a cash or
deferred election under a cash or deferred arrangement.

          (3) Elective contributions are distributable under subsections
(c)(1)(B) and (C) above only if the Adopting Employers continue to maintain the
Plan after the disposition.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                             Additional Provisions

        13.1  Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer.  In the event of any
merger or consolidation with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any
other plan or to this Plan, each Participant of the Plan shall be entitled to
a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, which is
equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to
receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan
had been terminated).

        13.2    Necessity of Initial Qualification.  This Plan is established
with the intent that it shall qualify under sections   401(a) and 401(k) of
the Code as those sections exist at the time the Plan is established.  If the
Internal Revenue Service determines that the Plan initially fails to meet
those requirements, then within thirty (30) days after the date of such
determination, all of the assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of
Participants and their Beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the
contributors to the Plan in proportion to their contributions, and the Plan
shall be considered to be rescinded and of no force or effect, unless such
inadequacy is removed by a retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code.  Any
nonvested Matching Contributions and earnings attributable thereto shall be
returned to the Adopting Employers.

        13.3    No Assignment.

(a)     Except as provided herein, the right of any Participant or Beneficiary
to any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be subject to
alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any
kind.

(b)     Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer permitted by
the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to regulations issued under section
401(a)(13) of the Code.

(c)     Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer pursuant to a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

(d)     Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer to the Trust
in accordance with section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code to satisfy the
Participant's liabilities to the Plan or Trust in any one or more of the
following circumstances:

(1)     the Participant is convicted of a crime involving the Plan;

                                       49

(2)     a civil judgment (or consent order or decree) in an action is brought
against the Participant in connection with an ERISA fiduciary violation; or

(3)     the Participant enters into a settlement agreement with the Department
of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation over an ERISA fiduciary
violation.

        13.4    Limitation of Rights of Employees.  This Plan is strictly a
voluntary undertaking on the part of the Adopting Employers and shall not be
deemed to constitute a contract between any of the Adopting Employers and any
Employee, or to be a consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition
of the employment of any Employee.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be
deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of any of
the  Adopting Employers or shall interfere with the right of any of the
Adopting Employers to discharge or otherwise terminate the employment of any
Employee of an Adopting Employer at any time.  No Employee shall be entitled
to any right or claim hereunder except to the extent such right is
specifically fixed under the terms of the Plan.

        13.5    Construction.  The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted
and construed in accordance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.  Any
amendment or restatement of the Plan or Trust that would otherwise violate
the requirements of section 411(d)(6) of the Code or otherwise cause the Plan
or Trust to cease to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code shall be
deemed to be invalid.  Capitalized terms shall have meanings as defined
herein.  Singular nouns shall be read as plural, masculine pronouns shall be
read as feminine and vice versa, as appropriate.  References to "section" or
"ARTICLE" shall be read as references to appropriate provisions of this Plan,
unless otherwise indicated.

        13.6   Company Determinations.  Any determinations, actions or decisions
of the Company (including but not limited to, Plan amendments and Plan
termination) shall be made by its Board of Directors in accordance with its
established procedures or by such other individuals, groups or organizations
that have been properly delegated by the Board of Directors to make such
determination or decision.

        13.7    Governing Law.  This Plan shall be governed by, construed and
administered in accordance with ERISA and any other applicable federal law;
provided, however, that to the extent not preempted by federal law, this Plan
shall be governed by, construed and administered under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

                                  ARTICLE XIV

authorized officer to participate in the Plan on account of its Employees,
provided that participation in the Plan by such corporation is approved by

participation by a corporation is delegated by the Board of Directors, but
shall not include any division, operation or similar cohesive group of the
adopting corporation excluded by the Board of Directors.  The Adopting
Employers shall be listed on Exhibit A attached to this Plan.

section 414(m) of the Code, or which is an entity otherwise required to be
aggregated with the Adopting Employer pursuant to section 414(o) of the Code.
For purposes of ARTICLE VIII, the determination of controlled groups of
corporations and trades or businesses under common control shall be made
after taking into account the modification required under section 415(h) of

designates a Beneficiary other than his or her spouse, said designation shall
not take effect unless the spouse consents in writing to such designation and
said spousal consent acknowledges the effect of said designation and is
witnessed by a representative of the Plan or a notary public.  Said spousal
consent shall be effective only with respect to the spouse granting such
consent, and shall not be required if the Participant can establish that
there is no spouse, that the spouse cannot be located, or that other
conditions exist as may be prescribed by regulations issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury.  If there is no Beneficiary designated by the Participant or
surviving at the death of the Participant, payment of his or her Account

whether or not the Participant is living at the time of such receipt,

former spouse of the deceased Participant and payment will otherwise be made

elect that all, or any portion of, such payment shall instead be transferred
as a Direct Rollover.  Such Direct Rollover shall be governed by the

         RAYTHEON TUCSON BARGAINING SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN (10013)

                                   ARTICLE I
                           Establishment of the Plan

        1.1     Establishment of the Plan.  The Raytheon Tucson Bargaining
Savings and Investment Plan (10013) (the "Plan"), which is effective
December 18, 1997, provides Participants with a tax-effective means of
allocating a portion of their salary to be invested in one or more investment
opportunities specified in the Plan and set aside for the short-term and
long-term needs of the Participants.  The Plan also provides retirement
benefits for Participants or their Beneficiaries in the event a Participant
becomes disabled or dies before retirement.  It is intended that the Plan
will comply with all of the requirements for a qualified profit sharing plan
under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code and will be amended from time to
time to maintain compliance with these requirements.  The terms used in the
Plan have the meanings specified in ARTICLE XIV unless the context indicates
otherwise.  The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in section
404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section
 2550.404(c)-1.  Participants in the Plan are responsible for selecting
their own investment opportunities from the options available under the Plan
and the Plan Fiduciaries are relieved of any liability for any losses which
are a direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a
Participant or Beneficiary.

        1.2     Trust. The Trust shall be the sole source of benefits under the
Plan and the Adopting Employers or any Affiliate shall not have any liability
for the adequacy of the benefits provided under the Plan.

        1.3     Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of December 18,
1997, or such other dates as may be specifically provided herein or as
otherwise required by law for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of section
401(a) of the Code.

        1.4     Adoption of Plan.  With the prior approval of the Board of
Directors or an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of Directors
to give such approval, the Plan and Trust may be adopted by any Corporation
(hereinafter referred to as an Adopting Employer).  Such adoption shall be
made by the Adopting Employer filing with the Administrator and Trustee a
certified copy of a board of directors (or equivalent) resolution adopting
the Plan and Trust without modification.  The Administrator may require the
Adopting Employer to take such further actions as it deems appropriate to the
proper adoption and operation of the Plan and Trust.  In the event of the
adoption of the Plan and Trust by an Adopting Employer, the Plan and Trust
shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such adoption.

        1.5     Withdrawal of Adopting Employer.

                (a) An Adopting Employer's adoption of this Plan may be
terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily, at any time, as provided in this
section.

                                       2

                (b) An Adopting Employer shall withdraw from the Plan and Trust
if the Plan and Trust, with respect to that Adopting Employer, fail to
qualify under sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code (or, in the opinion of
the Administrator, they may fail to so qualify) and the continued sponsorship
of that Adopting Employer may jeopardize the status with respect to the
Company or the remaining Adopting Employers, of the Plan and Trust under
sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code.  The Adopting Employer shall receive
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of a withdrawal under this
subsection, unless a shorter period is agreed to.

                (c) An Adopting Employer may voluntarily withdraw from the Plan
and Trust for any reason.  Such withdrawal requires at least thirty (30) days
written notice to the Administrator and the Trustee, unless a shorter period
is agreed to.

                (d) Upon withdrawal, the Trustee shall segregate the assets
attributable to Employees of the withdrawn Adopting Employer, the amount
thereof to be determined by the Administrator and the Trustee.  The
segregated assets shall be held, paid to another trust, distributed or
otherwise disposed of as is appropriate under the circumstances; provided,
however, that any transfer shall be for the exclusive benefit of Participants
and their Beneficiaries.  A withdrawal of an Adopting Employer from the Plan
is not necessarily a termination under ARTICLE XII.  If the withdrawal is a
termination, then the provisions of ARTICLE XII shall also be applicable.


                                   ARTICLE II

provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service
credit with respect to Qualified Military Service will be provided in

in its discretion, make Matching Contributions with regard to Elective
Deferrals and Employee After-Tax Contributions made by its Employees during a

Participant received a distribution of his or her Elective Deferral Account
when he or she did not have a Nonforfeitable right to his or her Matching
Contribution Account, the Matching Contributions that were forfeited,
unadjusted by any subsequent gains or losses, shall be  restored if he or she

                        (6) a Rollover Contribution will not be accepted unless
(A) the Employee on whose behalf the Rollover Contribution will be made is
either a Participant or an Eligible Employee who has notified the
Administrator that he or she intends to become a Participant on the first
date on which he or she is eligible therefor, and (B) all required
information, including selection of specific investment accounts, is provided
to the Recordkeeper - when the Rollover Contribution has been deposited, any
further change in investment allocation of future deferrals or transfer of
account balances between investment funds will be effected through the
procedures set forth in sections 4.2 and 4.3; and

                        (7) under no circumstances shall the Administrator 
accept as a Rollover Contribution amounts which have previously been subject to
federal income tax.

                (b)(1)   The Plan shall accept a transfer of assets, including
elective transfers in accordance with Treas. Regs. section 1.411(d)-4 Q&A-
3(b), directly from another plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code
only if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, agrees to accept such a
transfer.  In determining whether to accept such a transfer, the
Administrator shall consider the administrative inconvenience engendered by
such a transfer and any risks to the continued qualification of the Plan
under section 401(a) of the Code.  Acceptance of any such transfer shall not
preclude the Administrator from refusing any such subsequent transfers.

                                       6

                     (2)  Any transfer of assets accepted under this subsection
shall be separately accounted for at all times and shall remain subject to
the provisions of the transferor plan (as it existed at the time of such
transfer) to the extent required by section 411(d)(6) of the Code (including,
but not limited to, any rights to qualified joint and survivor annuities and
qualified preretirement survivor annuities) as if such provisions were part
of the Plan.  In all other respects, however, such transferred assets will be
subject to the provisions of the Plan.  The Administrator may, but is not
required to, describe in an Exhibit to this Plan the special provisions that
must be preserved under section 411(d)(6) of the Code, if any, following the
transfer of assets from another plan in accordance with this subsection.

                        (3)  Assets accepted under this section shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable.

                        (4)  Eligible Employees who were active participants in
the Hughes Tucson Bargaining Employees Thrift and Savings Plan immediately
prior to the Effective Date may elect to transfer their entire vested account
balances in such plan, including after-tax contributions, to the Plan in
accordance with this section 3.7(b).

        3.8  Refund of Contributions to the Adopting Employers.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of ARTICLE XII, if, or to the extent
that, any Adopting Employers' deductions for contributions made to the Plan are
disallowed, such Adopting Employer will have the right to obtain the return of
any such contributions for a period of one (1) year from the date of
disallowance. For this purpose, all contributions are made subject to the
condition that they are deductible under the Code for the taxable year of the
Adopting Employers for which the contributions are made. Furthermore, any
contribution made on the basis of a mistake in fact may be returned to the
Adopting Employers within one (1) year from the date such contribution was made.

        3.9  Payment.  The Adopting Employers shall pay to the Trustee in U.S.
currency, or by other property acceptable to the Trustee, all contributions
for each Plan Year within the time prescribed by law, including extensions
granted by the Internal Revenue Service for filing the federal income tax
return of the Company for its taxable year in which such Plan Year ends.
Unless designated by the Adopting Employers as nondeductible, all
contributions made, other than Employee After-Tax Contributions, shall be
deemed to be conditioned on their current deductibility under section 404 of
the Code.

        3.10    Limits for Highly Compensated.

(a)     Elective Deferrals, Employee After-Tax Contributions, Matching
Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions allocable to the
Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees shall not in any Plan Year exceed
the limits specified in this section.  The Administrator may make the
adjustments authorized in this section to ensure that the limits of
subsection (b) (or any other applicable limits) are not exceeded, regardless
of whether such adjustments affect some Participants more than others.  This
section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with sections
401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

                                       7

(b)     (1)     The Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated
Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

          (A) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Actual Deferral
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants; or

          (B) the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual Deferral
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants or the Actual Deferral Percentage
for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2) percentage points.

     (2)     The Actual Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated 
Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

          (A) one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Actual Contribution
Percentage for all other Eligible Participants; or

          (B) the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual
Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Participants or the Actual
Contribution Percentage for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2)
percentage points.

     (3) The sum of the Actual Deferral Percentage and the Actual Contribution
Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed, in any Plan
Year, the sum of:

(A)     one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the greater of:

(i)     the Actual Deferral Percentage of the other Eligible Participants; or

(ii)    the Actual Contribution Percentage of the other Eligible Participants;
and

(B)     two plus the lesser of:

(i)     the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i); or

(ii)    the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii); provided that the amount in this
paragraph (3)(B) shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the lesser of
the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i) or the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii).

(4)     The limitations under section 3.10(b)(3) shall be modified to reflect
any higher limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Service under
regulations, notices or other official statements.

(c)     The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

                                       8

(1)     Actual Contribution Percentage.  The average of the ratios for a
designated group of Employees (calculated separately for each Eligible
Participant in the group) of the sum of the Matching Contributions, Employee
After-Tax Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions (other than
those treated as part of the Actual Defferral Percentage), and Elective
Deferrals (other than those treated as part of the Actual Deferral
Percentage) allocated for the applicable year on behalf of the Participant,
divided by the Participant's Compensation for such applicable year.  The
"applicable year" for determining the Actual Contribution Percentage for the
group of Highly Compensated Employees shall be the current Plan Year.  For
all other Eligible Participants, the "applicable year" for determining the
Actual Contribution Percentage shall be the immediately preceding Plan Year,
unless in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, the Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

(2)     Actual Deferral Percentage.  The average of the ratios for a designated
group of Eligible Participants (calculated separately for each Eligible
Participant in the group) of the sum of the Elective Deferrals and Qualified
Nonelective Contributions (other than those treated as part of the Actual
Contribution Percentage) allocated for the applicable year on behalf of a
Participant, divided by the Participant's Compensation for such applicable
year.  The "applicable year" for determining the Actual Deferral Percentage
for the group of Highly Compensated Employees shall be the current Plan Year.
For all other Eligible Participants, the "applicable year" for determining
the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be the immediately preceding Plan Year,
unless in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, the Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

(3)     Compensation.  The Employees wages that are required to be reported on
IRS Form W-2, increased by any Elective Deferrals made by the Employer on
behalf of the Employee under the Plan or any other plan of the Employer with
a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under section 401(k) of the Code and
any pre-tax elective contributions made by the Employer that are excludible
from the Employees income under section 125 of the Code.

(4)     Eligible Participant.  Any Employee of an Adopting Employer who is
authorized under the terms of the Plan to make Elective Deferrals or have
Qualified Nonelective Contributions allocated to his or her Account for the
Plan Year.

(d)     For purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the Actual
Contribution Percentage test of section 401(m), all employee and matching
contributions that are made under two (2) or more plans that are aggregated
for purposes of sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) (other than section
410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are to be treated as made under a single plan and that if
two (2) or more plans are permissively aggregated for purposes of section
401(m), the aggregated plans must also satisfy sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b)
as though they were a single plan.

(e)     In calculating the Actual Contribution Percentage for purposes of
section 401(m), the actual contribution ratio of a Highly Compensated
Employee will be determined by treating all plans subject to section 401(m)
under which the Highly Compensated Employee is eligible (other than those
that may not be permissively aggregated) as a single plan.

                                       9
          
(f)     For purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the Actual
Deferral Percentage test of section 401(k), all elective contributions that
are made under two (2) or more plans that are aggregated for purposes of
section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are to be
treated as made under a single plan and that if two (2) or more plans are
permissively aggregated for purposes of section 401(k), the aggregated plans
must also satisfy sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as though they were a single
plan.

(g)     In calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage for purposes of section
401(k), the actual deferral ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee will be
determined by treating all cash or deferred arrangements under which the
Highly Compensated Employee is eligible (other than those that may not be
permissively aggregated) as a single arrangement.

(h)     An elective contribution will be taken into account under the Actual
Deferral Percentage test of section 401(k)(3)(A) of the Code for a Plan Year
only if it is allocated to the Employee as of a date within that Plan Year.
For this purpose, an elective contribution is considered allocated as of a
date within a Plan Year if the allocation is not contingent on participation
or performance of services after such date and the elective contribution is
actually paid to the Trust no later than twelve (12) months after the Plan
Year to which the contribution relates.


          3.11    Correction of Excess Contributions.

(a)     Excess Contributions shall be corrected as provided in this section.
The Administrator may also prevent anticipated Excess Contributions as
provided in this section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction
or prevention provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it
determines in its sole discretion.  This section shall be administered and
interpreted in accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b)     The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c)     (1)     An Adopting Employer may, in its sole discretion, elect to
contribute, as provided in section 3.2, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution
in an amount necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section
3.10.

(2)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be
allocated to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated
Employees.  Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated first to
the Participant with the lowest Compensation for that Plan Year and any
remaining Qualified Nonelective Contributions thereafter shall be allocated
to the Participant with the next lowest Compensation for that Plan Year.
This allocation method shall continue in ascending order of Compensation
until all such Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated.  The
allocation to any Participant shall not exceed the limits under section 415
of the Code.  If two or more Participants have identical Compensation, the
allocations to them shall be proportional.

                                       10

(3)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be
contributed to the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such
Plan Year.

(4)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall only be allocated to
Participants who receive Compensation during the Plan Year for which such
contribution is made.

(d)     The Administrator may, during a Plan Year, distribute to a Participant
(or such Participant's Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased), any or
all Excess Contributions or Excess Deferrals (whether Elective Deferrals or
Qualified Nonelective Contributions) allocable to that Participant's Account
for that Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.  Such
distribution may include earnings or losses (if any) attributable to such
amounts, as determined by the Administrator.

(e)     (1)     The Administrator may recharacterize any or all Excess
Contributions for a Plan Year as Employee After-Tax Contributions in
accordance with the provisions of this subsection.  Any Excess Contributions
that are so recharacterized shall be treated as if the Participant had
elected to instead receive cash Compensation on the earliest date that any
Elective Deferral made on behalf of the Participant during the Plan Year
would have been received had the Participant originally elected to receive
such amount in cash and then contributed such amount as an Employee After-Tax
Contribution.  To the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service,
however, such recharacterized Excess Contributions shall continue to be
treated as if such amounts were not recharacterized.

(2)     The Administrator shall report any recharacterized Excess Contributions
as Employee After-Tax Contributions to the Internal Revenue Service and to
the affected Participants at such times and in accordance with such
procedures as are required by the Internal Revenue Service.  The
Administrator shall take such other actions regarding the amounts so
recharacterized as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service.

(3)     Excess Contributions may not be recharacterized under this subsection
more than two and one-half (2) months after the close of the Plan Year to
which the recharacterization relates.  Recharacterization is deemed to occur
when the Participant is so notified (as required by the Internal Revenue
Service).

(4)     The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable
year ending in the same Plan Year and Excess Deferrals to be distributed for
a taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed
or recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

(f)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Contributions
for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.  Such
distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan Year and within
twelve (12) months of the close of such Plan Year.  In the event of the
termination of the Plan, such distribution shall be made within twelve (12)
months after such termination.  Such distribution shall include the income

                                       11

allocable to the amounts so distributed, as determined under this subsection.
The Administrator may make any special allocations of earnings or losses
necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.  A distribution of
an Excess Contribution under this subsection may be made without regard to
any notice or consent otherwise required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and
417 of the Code.

(2)     (A)     The income allocable to Excess Contributions distributed under
this subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year.
Income includes all earnings and appreciation, including such items as
interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property,
appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance
contracts, and other property, without regard to whether such appreciation
has been realized.

(B)     The allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year may be determined under
any reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator.
Alternatively, the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine such
allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year under the method set forth in
subparagraph (C).

(C)     Under this method, the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year is
determined by multiplying the income for the Plan Year allocable to Elective
Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Excess Contributions by the Participant for the
Plan Year and the denominator of which is the total Account balance of the
Participant attributable to Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as
Elective Deferrals) as of the beginning of the Plan Year, increased by any
Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by the
Participant for the Plan Year.

(3)     Amounts distributed under this subsection (or other provisions of this
section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's
subaccounts in the following order:

(A)     from the Participant's Elective Deferral Account (if such Excess
Contribution is attributable to Elective Deferrals); and

(B)     from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution account (if
such Excess Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions).

                                       12

(g)     (1)     The term "Excess Contributions" shall mean, with respect to a
Plan Year, the excess of the Elective Deferrals (including any Qualified
Nonelective Contributions and Matching Contributions that are treated as
Elective Deferrals under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code) on
behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the
maximum amount of such contributions permitted under sections 401(k)(2) and
401(k)(3) of the Code.  For this purpose, the maximum amount of contributions
permitted under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code shall be
determined in accordance with the leveling method prescribed in Treas. Regs.
section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2), or such other method as promulgated thereafter.

(2)     Any distribution or recharacterization of Excess Contributions for a
Plan Year, as determined under subsection (1) above, shall be made to the
Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by,
or on behalf of, each such Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with the
procedure described herein.  The Highly Compensated Employees with the
highest amount of contributions shall have their contributions distributed or
recharacterized to the extent required to eliminate the Excess Contributions
or, if it results in a lower distribution or recharacterization, to the
extent required to cause such Highly Compensated Employees contributions to
equal the amount of contributions of the Highly Compensated Employees with
the next highest level of contributions.  This procedure shall be repeated
until the Excess Contributions are completely distributed or recharacterized.

(3)     The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable
year ending in the same Plan Year and Excess Deferrals to be distributed for
a taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed
or recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

          3.12    Correction of Excess Deferrals.

(a)     Excess Deferrals shall be corrected as provided in this section.  The
Administrator may also prevent anticipated Excess Deferrals as provided in
this section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction or
prevention provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it
determines in its sole discretion.  A distribution of an Excess Deferral
under this section may be made without regard to any notice or consent
otherwise required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.  This
section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with sections
401(k) and 402(g) of the Code.

(b)     The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Deferrals to
the Participant on whose behalf such Excess Deferrals were made before the
close of the Applicable Taxable Year.  Distributions under this subsection
include income allocable to the Excess Distribution so distributed, as
determined under this subsection.

(2)     Distribution under this subsection shall only be made if all the
following conditions are satisfied:

                                       13

(A)     the Participant seeking the distribution designates the distribution as
an Excess Deferral;

(B)     the distribution is made after the date the Excess Deferral is received
by the Plan; and

(C)     the Plan designates the distribution as a distribution of an Excess
Deferral.

(3)     The income allocable to the Excess Deferral distributed under this
subsection shall be determined in the same manner as under subsection (d)(3),
except that income shall only be determined for the period from the beginning
of the Applicable Taxable Year to the date on which the distribution is made.

(d)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Deferrals to
the Participant on whose behalf such Excess Deferrals were made after the
close of the Applicable Taxable Year.  Distribution under this subsection
shall only be made if the Participant timely provides the notice required
under subsection (d)(2) and such distribution is made after the Applicable
Taxable Year and before the first April 15 following the close of the
Applicable Taxable Year.  Distributions under this subsection shall include
income allocable to the Excess Deferrals so distributed, as determined under
this subsection.

(2)     Any Participant seeking a distribution of an Excess Deferral in
accordance with this subsection must notify the Administrator of such request
no later than the first March 15 following the close of the Applicable
Taxable Year.  The Administrator may agree to accept notification received
after such date (but before the first April 15 following the close of the
Applicable Taxable Year) if it determines that it would still be
administratively practicable to make such distribution in view of the delayed
notification.  The notification required by this subsection shall be deemed
made if a Participant's Elective Deferrals to the Plan in any Plan Year
create an Excess Deferral.

(3)     The income allocable to the Excess Deferral distributed under this
subsection shall be determined in the same manner as under section
3.11(f)(2), except that the term "Excess Deferrals" shall be substituted for
"Excess Contributions" and the term "Applicable Taxable Year" shall be
substituted for "Plan Year."  The Administrator may make any special
allocations of earnings or losses necessary to carry out the provisions of
this subsection.

(e)     The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

(1)     Applicable Taxable Year.  The taxable year (for federal income tax
purposes) of the Participant in which an Excess Deferral must be included in
gross income (when made) in accordance with section 402(g) of the Code.

(2)     Excess Deferral.  A Participant's Elective Deferrals (and other
contributions limited by section 402(g) of the Code), for an Applicable
Taxable Year that are in excess of the limits imposed by section 402(g) of
the Code for such Applicable Taxable Year.

                                       14

          3.13    Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a)     Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be corrected as provided in this
section.  The Administrator may use any method of correction or prevention
provided in this section or any combination thereof, as it determines in its
sole discretion.  This section shall be administered and interpreted in
accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b)     The Administrator may refuse to accept any or all prospective Elective
Deferrals to be contributed to a Participant.

(c)     (1)     The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to contribute, as
provided in section 3.2, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution in an amount
necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section 3.10.

(2)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be
allocated to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated
Employees.  Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be allocated first to
the Participant with the lowest Compensation for that Plan Year and any
remaining Qualified Nonelective Contributions thereafter shall be allocated
to the Participant with the next lowest compensation for that Plan Year.
This allocation method shall continue in ascending order of Compensation
until all such Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated.  The
allocation to any Participant shall not exceed the limits under section 415
of the Code.  If two or more Participants have identical Compensation, the
allocations to them shall be proportional.

(3)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be
contributed to the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such
Plan Year.

(4)     Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall only be allocated to
Participants who receive Compensation during the Plan Year for which such
contribution is made.

(d)     The Administrator may, during a Plan Year, distribute to a Participant
(or such Participant's Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased), any or
all Excess Aggregate Contributions allocable to that Participant's Account
for that Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.  Such
distribution may include earnings or losses (if any) attributable to such
amounts, as determined by the Administrator.

(e)     (1)     The Administrator may forfeit any or all Excess Aggregate
Contributions for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection.  The amounts so forfeited shall not include any amounts that are
nonforfeitable under ARTICLE V.

(2)     Any forfeitures under this subsection shall be made in accordance with
the procedures for distributions under subsection (f) except that such
amounts shall be forfeited instead of being distributed.

                                       15

(f)     (1)     The Administrator may distribute any or all Excess Aggregate
Contributions for a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection.  Such distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan
Year and within twelve (12) months of the close of such Plan Year.  Such
distributions shall be specifically designated by the Administrator as a
distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions.  In the event of the complete
termination of the Plan, such distribution shall be made within twelve (12)
months after such termination.  Such distribution shall include the income
allocable to the amounts so distributed, as determined under this subsection.
The Administrator may make any special allocations of earnings or losses
necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.  A distribution of
an Excess Aggregate Contribution under this subsection may be made without
regard to any notice or consent otherwise required pursuant to sections
411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

(2)     (A)     The income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions
distributed under this subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for
the Plan Year.  Income includes all earnings and appreciation, including such
items as interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of
property, appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life
insurance contracts, and other property, without regard to whether such
appreciation has been realized.

(B)     The allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year may be determined under
any reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator.
Alternatively, the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine such
allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year under the method set forth in
subparagraph (C).

(C)     Under this method, the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year is
determined by multiplying  the income for the Plan Year allocable to employee
contributions, matching contributions and amounts treated as matching
contributions by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate
Contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of
which is the total Account balance of the Participant attributable to
employee contributions, matching contributions and amounts treated as
matching contributions as of the beginning of the Plan Year, increased by the
employee contributions, matching contributions and amounts treated as
matching contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year.

(3)     Amounts distributed under this subsection (or other provisions of this
section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's
Account in the following order:

(A)     from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account (if
such Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions);

(B)     from the Participants Employee After-Tax Contribution Account (if such
Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Employee After-Tax
Contributions); and

(C)     from the Participant's Matching Contribution Account (if such Excess
Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Matching Contributions).

                                       16

(g)     (1)     The term "Excess Aggregate Contributions" shall mean, with
respect to a Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of the matching
contributions and employee contributions (including any Qualified Nonelective
Contributions or elective deferrals taken into account in computing the
Actual Contribution Percentage) actually made on behalf of eligible Highly
Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such
contributions permitted under section 401(m)(2)(A) of the Code.  For this
purpose, the maximum amount of contributions permitted under section
401(m)(2)(A) of the Code shall be determined in accordance with the leveling
method described in section 3.11(g)(1) of the Plan.

(2)     Any distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year, as
determined under subsection (1) above, shall be made to the Highly
Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by, or on
behalf of, each such Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with the
procedure described herein.  The Highly Compensated Employees with the
highest amount of contributions shall have their contributions distributed to
the extent required to eliminate the Excess Aggregate Contributions or, if it
results in a lower distribution, to the extent required to cause such Highly
Compensated Employees contributions to equal the amount of contributions of
the Highly Compensated Employees with the next highest level of
contributions.  This procedure shall be repeated until the Excess Aggregate
Contributions are completely distributed.

(3)     The terms "employee contributions" and "matching contributions" shall,
for purposes of this section, have the meanings set forth in Treas. Reg.
1.401(m)-1(f).

          3.14    Correction of Multiple Use.

(a)     If the limitations of Treas. Reg. 1.401(m)-2 are exceeded for any Plan
Year, then correction shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this
section.  This section shall be administered and interpreted in accordance
with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b)     Any correction required by this section shall be calculated and
administered in accordance with the provisions for correcting Excess
Contributions (in section 3.11), Excess Aggregate Contributions (in section
3.13) or both, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion.  Any
correction required by this section, to the extent possible, shall be made
only with respect to those Highly Compensated Employees who are eligible in
both the arrangement subject to section 401(k) of the Code and the Plan, as
subject to section 401(m) of the Code.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                             Investment of Accounts

        4.1     Election of Investment Funds.

                (a)   Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
below, upon enrollment in the Plan, each Participant shall direct that the
funds in the Participant's Account be invested in increments of one percent
(1%) in one or more of the following investment funds:

                                       17

                        (1)     Fund A.  An equity fund designated by the
Administrator;

                        (2)     Fund B.  A fixed income fund designated by the
Administrator;

                        (3)     Fund C.  Common Stock fund;

                        (4)     Fund D.  A stock index fund designated by the
Administrator;

                        (5)     Fund E.  A balanced fund designated by the
Administrator;

                        (6)     Fund F.  A growth fund designated by the
Administrator, investing primarily in equities of companies of all types and
sizes;

                        (7)     Fund G.  A growth fund designated by the
Administrator, investing primarily in equities of well-known and established
companies;

                        (8)     Fund H.  General Motors Class H stock fund;

                        (9)     Fund I.  Raytheon Company Class A stock fund.

                (b)     Amounts contributed to a Participant's Matching
Contribution Account must be invested in Fund C (Common Stock fund) until the
end of two (2) full Plan Years following the Plan Year for which such
contributions are made.  Thereafter, a Participant may designate the
investment of the Matching Contribution funds in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (a) above.

                (c)    The only assets that may be invested in Fund H or Fund I
are the General Motors Class H stock and cash directly transferred from the
Hughes Tucson Bargaining Employees Thrift and Savings Plan pursuant to
section 3.7(b)(4).  A Participant may not direct that any other funds in the
Participants Account be invested in Fund H or Fund I.  Notwithstanding
subsection (d) below, the Administrator shall maintain Fund H and Fund I as
investment options under the Plan, subject to the limitations prescribed in
this subsection (c), for five (5) complete Plan Years following the Effective
Date; provided, however, that if at any time prior to the expiration of such
five (5) year period, the aggregate fair market value of the assets invested
in either Fund H or Fund I falls below five percent (5%) of the highest fair
market value of the assets invested in Fund H or Fund I, respectively, the
Administrator may, with six (6) months written notice to affected
Participants, eliminate Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, as investment
options under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may
eliminate one or both funds at any time if the Administrator determines in
good faith that such elimination is necessary under applicable law (including
without limitation the prudence requirements of ERISA).  When Fund H and Fund
I are eliminated in accordance with this section 4.1(c), Participants with
assets invested in Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, shall direct the transfer
of such assets to other funds available under the Plan or, if no such
election is made, the Administrator shall transfer such assets to Fund B or a
similar low risk fixed income fund as determined by the Administrator in its
discretion.

                                       18

                (d)  In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time
designate new funds and, where appropriate, preclude investment in existing
funds and provide for the transfer of Accounts invested in those funds to
other funds selected by the Participant or, if no such election is made, to
Fund B or similar low risk fixed income fund as determined by the
Administrator in its discretion.

                (e)  Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
above, a Participant's investment election will apply to the entire Account
of the Participant.

                (f)  In establishing rules and procedures under section 4.1, the
following shall apply:

                  (1)   Each Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee
shall affirmatively elect to self-direct the investment of assets in his or
her Account, but such election may provide for default investments in the
absence of specific directions from such Participant, Beneficiary or
Alternate Payee.

                  (2)     The investment directions of a Participant shall
continue to apply after that Participant's death or incompetence until the
Beneficiary (or, if there is more than one Beneficiary for that Account, all
of the Beneficiaries), guardian or other representatives provide contrary
direction.

                  (3)     The Administrator may decline to implement investment
designations if such investment, in the Administrator's judgment:

                      (A)     would result in a prohibited transaction under
section 4975 of the Code;

                      (B)     would generate income taxable to the Trust
Fund;

                      (C)     would not be in accordance with the Plan and
Trust;

                      (D)     would cause a Fiduciary to maintain the indicia
of ownership of any assets of the Trust Fund outside the jurisdiction of the
district courts of the United States other than as permitted by section
404(b) of ERISA and Labor Reg. 2550.404(b)-1;

                      (E)     would jeopardize the Plan's tax qualified
status under the Code;

                      (F)     could result in a loss in excess of the amount
credited to the Account; or

                      (G)     would violate any other requirements of the
Code or ERISA.

                                       19

                      (4) Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and
(c) above, the Administrator may establish reasonable restrictions on the
frequency with which investment directions may be given, consistent with
section 404(c) of ERISA.

                      (5) The Administrator may establish limits on the use of
brokers, investment counsel or other advisors that may be utilized, including
specifying that all investments must be made through a designated broker or
brokers.

                      (6) The Administrator may establish limits on the types
of investments that are permitted.

          (g) Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c) above,
the Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures as may be advisable
or necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, with such rules and
procedures being consistent with section 404(c) of ERISA.

          (h) The Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures as may
be advisable or necessary to reasonably ensure that all transactions involving
the investment funds comply with all applicable laws, including the securities
laws.

        4.2     Change in Investment Allocation of Future Deferrals.  Except as
otherwise prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each Participant may elect
to change the investment allocation of future contributions effective as of
the first administratively feasible  Business Day subsequent to telephone
notice to the Recordkeeper.  Any changes must be made either in increments of
one percent (1%) of the Participant's Account or in a specified whole dollar
amount and must result in a total investment of one hundred percent (100%) of
the Participant's Account.

        4.3   Transfer of Account Balances Between Investment Funds.  Except as
otherwise prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each Participant may elect
to transfer all or a portion of the amount in his or her Account between
investment funds effective as of the first administratively feasible Business
Day following telephone notice to the Recordkeeper.  In determining the
amount of the transfer, the Participant's Account shall be valued as of the
close of business on the Business Day on which telephone notice is received;
provided, however, that in any case where the telephone notice is received
after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on
the date of the call), the Account shall be valued as of the close of
business on the next Business Day.  Such transfers must be made in either one
percent (1%) increments of the entire Account or in a specified amount in
whole dollars and, as of the completion of the transfer, must result in
investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Account.  Transfers shall be
effected by telephone notice to the Recordkeeper.

        4.4     Ownership Status of Funds.  The Trustee shall be the owner of
record of the assets in the funds specified as Funds A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
and I and such other funds as may be established by the Administrator.  The
Administrator shall have records maintained as of the Valuation Date for each
fund allocating a portion of the fund to each Participant who has elected
that his or her Account be invested in such fund.  The records shall reflect
each Participant's portion of Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds
as may be established by the Administrator, in a cash amount and shall
reflect each Participant's portion of Funds C, H and I in cash and unitized
shares of stock.

                                       20

        4.5     Voting Rights.  Participants whose Account has shares of
participation in Funds C or I on the last business day of the second month
preceding the record date (the "Voting Eligibility Date") for any meeting of
stockholders have the right to instruct the Trustee as to voting at such
meeting.  The number of votes is determined by dividing the value of the
shares in the Participant's Account in Funds C and I, as applicable, by the
closing price of the respective classes of stock on the Voting Eligibility
Date.  If the Trustee has not received instructions from a Participant as to
voting of shares within a specified time, then the Trustee shall not vote
those shares.  If a Participant furnishes the Trustee with a signed vote
direction card without indicating a voting choice thereon, the Trustee shall
vote the Participant's shares as recommended by management.  In addition,
each Participant shall have the right to accept or reject any tender or
exchange offer for shares of the respective classes of stock.  The Trustee
shall vote (or tender or exchange) all combined fractional shares of the
respective classes of stock to the extent possible in the same proportion as
the shares which have been voted (or tendered or exchanged) by each
Participant.  Any instructions as to voting (or tender or exchange) received
from an individual Participant shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and
shall not be divulged to the Adopting Employers or to any officer or employee
thereof or to any other person.

        4.6     Allocation of Earnings.

                (a)  (1)   The Administrator, as of each Valuation Date, shall
adjust the amounts credited to the Accounts (including Accounts for persons
who are no longer Employees) so that the total of such Account balances
equals the fair market value of the Trust Fund assets as of such Valuation
Date.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any changes in the fair market
value of the Trust Fund assets since the preceding Valuation Date shall be
charged or credited to each Account in the ratio that the balance in each
such Account as of the preceding Valuation Date bears to the balances in all
Accounts as of that Valuation Date with appropriate adjustments to reflect
any distributions, allocations or similar adjustments to such Account or
Accounts since that Valuation Date.

                        (2) To the extent that separate investment funds are
established (as provided in section 4.1), the adjustments required by
subsection (a)(1) shall be made by applying subsection (a)(1) separately for
each such investment fund so that any changes in the net worth of each such
investment fund are charged or credited to the portion of each Account
invested in such investment fund in the ratio that the portion of each such
Account invested in such investment fund as of the preceding Valuation Date
(reduced by any distributions made from that portion of such Account since
that Valuation Date) bears to the total amount credited to such investment
funds as of that Valuation Date (reduced by distributions made from such
investment fund since that Valuation Date).

                       (3) Interim valuations, in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, may be made at such time or times as the Administrator directs.

                (b)     The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, direct 
the Trustee to segregate and separately invest any Trust Fund assets.  If any
assets are segregated in this fashion, the earnings or losses on such assets
shall be determined apart from other Trust assets and shall be adjusted on
each Valuation Date, or at such other times as the Administrator deems
necessary, in accordance with this section.

                                       21

                                    Vesting

        5.1     Elective Deferral, Employee After-Tax Contribution, Rollover
Contribution and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts.  Each
Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable right to any amounts in the
Participant's Elective Deferral, Employee After-Tax Contribution, Rollover
Contribution and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts.

        5.2     Matching Contribution Account.

(a)     Each Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable right to his or her
Matching Contribution Account upon the earliest of:

(1) the Participant's completion of a Period of Service of five (5) years;

(2) the Participant's completion of a Period of Participation of three (3)
years;

(3) the Participant's Retirement, death while an Employee, Disability or
attainment of Normal Retirement Age; or

(4) the Participant's Layoff or Severance from Service due to Qualified Military
Service.

        5.3     Break in Service Rules

                (a) Periods of Service.  In determining the length of a Period
of Service, the Administrator shall include all Periods of Service, except
the following Periods of Service shall not be taken into account:

                        (1)  in the case of a Participant who has not made
Elective Deferrals to the Plan, the Period of Service before any Period of
Severance which equals or exceeds five (5) consecutive years; and

                        (2)  in the case of a Participant who has made Elective
Deferrals to the Plan and who has incurred a Period of Severance which equals
or exceeds five (5) years, the Period of Service after such Period of
Severance shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the
nonforfeitable interest of such Participant in the Matching Contributions
allocated to his or her Account before such Period of Severance.

                (b)  Periods of Severance.  In determining the length of a
Period of Service for purposes of section 14.40, the Administrator shall
include any period of time beginning on an Employee's Severance from Service
Date and ending on the date on which he or she is next credited with an Hour
of Service, provided that such Hour of Service is credited within the twelve-
(12) consecutive month period following such Severance from Service Date.

                (c)  Other Periods.  In making the determinations described in
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the second, third, and fourth
consecutive years of a Layoff (from the first anniversary of the last day
paid to the fourth anniversary of the last day paid) and any period in excess
of one (1) year of an Authorized Leave of Absence shall be regarded as
neither a Period of Service nor a Period of Severance.

                                       22

                                   ARTICLE VI
                    Withdrawals and Distribution of Benefits

        6.1   In-Service Withdrawals - Matching Contributions.  Upon completion
of a Period of Participation of five (5) years, a Participant may withdraw,
subject to a minimum withdrawal amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250),
all or part of the Participant's Matching Contribution Account.  Withdrawals
will be based upon the value of the Account as determined under section 6.16.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may be
established by the Administrator will be made in cash; withdrawals from Funds
C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or
uninvested shares) as directed by the Participant.  Funds for the withdrawal
will be taken on a pro rata basis against the Participant's investment fund
balances in the Participant's Matching Contribution Account.

        6.2     In-Service Withdrawals -- Elective Deferral and Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Accounts.  While an Employee, a Participant may
withdraw all or a portion of his or her Elective Deferral Account and
Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account on or after attainment of age
fifty-nine and one-half (59).

        6.3     In-Service Withdrawals -- Hardship.

                (a) A Participant who has experienced a hardship, as described
in this section, may withdraw from his or her Elective Deferral Account
amounts attributable to Elective Deferrals (adjusted for net losses, if any).
Whether a Participant is entitled to a withdrawal under this section is to be
determined by the Administrator in accordance with nondiscriminatory and
objective standards.  In order to be entitled to a hardship withdrawal under
this section, a Participant must satisfy the requirements of both subsection
(b) and subsection (c).

                (b) A Participant will be deemed to have experienced an
immediate and heavy financial need necessary to satisfy the requirements of
this subsection if the withdrawal is on account of:

                    (1)     medical expenses described in section 213(d) of
the Code incurred by the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any
dependents of the Participant;

                    (2)     the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal resident of the Participant;

                    (3)     payment of tuition for the next twelve (12)
months of post-secondary education for the Participant or his or her spouse,
children or dependents; or

                    (4)     the need to prevent the eviction of the
Participant from his or her principal residence or the foreclosure on the
mortgage of the Participant's principal residence.

            (c)     (1)     A withdrawal under this subsection will be deemed
necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant
if it satisfies the requirements of this subsection.  To the extent the
amount of the withdrawal would be in excess of the amount required to relieve
the financial need of the Participant or to the extent such need may be
satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the
Participant, such withdrawal shall not satisfy the requirements of this
subsection.  For purposes of this subsection, a Participant's resources shall
be deemed to include those assets of his or her spouse or minor children that
are reasonably available to the Participant.

                                       23

                     (2) A withdrawal may be treated as necessary to satisfy a
financial need if the Administrator reasonably relies upon the Participant's
representation that the need cannot be relieved:

(A) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(B) by reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets to the extent such
liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need;

(C) by cessation of Elective Deferrals under the Plan for at least twelve (12)
months after receipt of the hardship withdrawal;

(D) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from
plans maintained by the Adopting Employers or by any other employer or by
borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

          (d) If a Participant receives a withdrawal for reasons of financial
hardship, the Participants Elective Deferrals shall be reduced to four percent
(4%) (or such lower percentage as the Participant shall thereafter designate),
if in excess thereof as of the date of the distribution, and shall not be
increased during the twelve (12) months immediately subsequent to the date of
distribution.

          (e) Withdrawals of less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) will not
be permitted.

          (f) Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.

          (g) payment of the amount withdrawn will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.

          (h) Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds
as may be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash. Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional or
unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

(i)     Funds for the withdrawal will be taken on a pro rata basis against the
Participant's investment fund balances in the Participant's Elective Deferral
Account.

        6.4     In-Service Withdrawals -- Rollover Contribution Account.  A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Rollover Contribution
Account.  Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.  Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made
as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash.  Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional
or unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.  Withdrawals of less than
two hundred fifty dollars ($250) will not be permitted.

                                       24

        6.5     In-Service Withdrawals -- Employee After-Tax Contributions.  A
Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her Employee After-Tax
Contributions. Withdrawals will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16.  Payment of the amount withdrawn will be made
as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.
Withdrawals from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash.  Withdrawals
from Funds C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for fractional
or unissued shares) as elected by the Participant.

        6.6    Redeposits Prohibited.  No amount withdrawn pursuant to sections
6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5 may be redeposited in the Plan.

        6.7     Distribution of Benefits.

                (a)  All benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid in the
manner and at the times specified in this ARTICLE.  Any payments to
Participants or Beneficiaries shall be made in cash (or cash equivalents)
except as otherwise provided herein.  Distributions may be made wholly or
partly by an in-kind distribution of assets held by the Trust Fund if the
distributee consents to such an in-kind distribution and the Administrator
determines that such an in-kind distribution is not administratively
burdensome.

                (b) All payment methods and distributions shall comply with the
requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder and, if necessary, shall be interpreted to so comply.
The provisions of this ARTICLE apply to all amounts credited to an Account,
regardless of the source of such amounts.  All distributions shall comply
with the incidental death benefit requirement of section 401(a)(9)(G) of the
Code.  Distributions shall comply with the regulations under section
401(a)(9) of the Code, including Treas. Reg. 1.401(a)(9)-2.  The provisions
of the Plan reflecting section 401(a)(9) of the Code override any
distribution provisions in the Plan inconsistent with section 401(a)(9).

                (c)     Distribution of the Participant's Account (to which the
Participant has a Nonforfeitable right) will be made at the direction of the
Participant (or his or her legal representative or Beneficiary in the case of
his or her Disability or death) upon the Retirement, Disability, death or
Severance from Service of the Participant.  In the event the Participant dies
or his or her Severance from Service occurs after his or her Normal
Retirement Age, or if the value of the Nonforfeitable portion of the
Participant's Account as of the Valuation Date which coincides with or
immediately precedes the date of distribution is not in excess of three
thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500), the Administrator shall cause the
distribution to automatically be made.

          (d) Payment will be made in the form of a lump-sum distribution of the
entire amount in the Participant's Account (to which the Participant has a
Nonforfeitable right), which will be paid as soon as practicable following
notification to the Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon Company,
Lexington, Massachusetts, of the Retirement, death, Disability or Severance from
Service and a telephone request by the Participant to the Recordkeeper for the
distribution. Distributions will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.16. Distribution of the amounts in said accounts in
the funds designated in Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may
be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash. Distribution of the
amounts in Funds C, H and I (if any) will be made in either cash or stock, at

                                       25

the election of the Participant or, in the case of death, the Participants
Beneficiary. Partial deferrals will not be permitted. If there is no Beneficiary
surviving a deceased Participant at the time payment of his or her Account is to
be made, such payment shall be made in a lump-sum to the person or persons in
the first following class of successive Beneficiaries surviving, any
testamentary devise or bequest to the contrary notwithstanding: the
Participant's (1) spouse, (2) children and issue of deceased children by right
of representation, (3) parents, (4) brothers and sisters and issue of deceased
brothers and sisters by right of representation, or (5) executors or
administrators. If no Beneficiary can be located during a period of seven (7)
years from the date of death, the amount of the distribution shall revert to the
Trust and be treated in the same manner as a forfeiture under section 3.6.

          (e) If the Participant dies before the time when distribution is
considered to have commenced in accordance with applicable regulations, then any
remaining portion of the Participant's interest will be distributed within five
(5) years after the Participant's death. If a distribution is considered to have
commenced in accordance with the applicable regulations before the Participant's
death, the remaining interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Participant's death.

          (f) Except as provided by section 401(a)(9) of the Code as set forth
in this section, benefits in the Plan will be distributed to each Participant
not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following events occurs:

                        (1) attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement
Age;

                        (2) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which
Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or

                        (3)  Participant's Severance from Service.

        6.8     Mandatory Distributions.

           A Participant who has attained age seventy and one-half (70-1/2) and
is subject to the mandatory distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) shall
receive a lump sum distribution of the Participants Account (to which the
Participant has a nonforfeitable right) at the time distributions must commence
in order to comply with such requirements. If additional amounts are allocated
to the Participants Account following such lump sum distribution, additional
lump sum distributions of the Participants Account (to which the Participant has
a nonforefeitable right) shall be made at such times any mandatory distributions
are required to comply with section 401(a)(9). Such payments shall be made
notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan or election made by such
Participant.

        6.9     Commencement of Benefits.

                (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE, distribution
to a Participant (or Beneficiary) shall commence within a reasonable period
of time following the Participant's Retirement, Disability, death or
Severance from Service.

                                       26

                (b)  If the vested amount in the Participant's Account exceeds
or ever exceeded three thousand five hundred dollars ($3, 500), then payment
to the Participant shall not commence before such Participant has attained
age sixty-five (65), unless the Participant requests an earlier distribution.
Such request must be made not more than ninety (90) days before the
commencement of the distribution.

        6.10    Payments to Incompetents.  If a Participant or Beneficiary
entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is adjudicated to be legally
incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for such benefits, the
benefits may be paid to the duly authorized personal representative of such
Participant or Beneficiary.

        6.11    Income Tax Withholding.  To the extent required by section 3405
of the Code, distributions and withdrawals from the Plan shall be subject to
federal income tax withholding.

        6.12    Direct Rollovers.

                (a)     A Participant may elect that all or any portion of a
distribution that would otherwise be paid as an Eligible Rollover
Distribution shall instead be transferred as a Direct Rollover.

                (b) (1)  The Administrator shall determine and apply rules and
procedures as it deems reasonable with respect to Direct Rollovers in
addition to, or in lieu of, those set forth in subsection (b)(2).  The
Administrator may change such rules and procedures from time to time and
shall not be bound by any previous rules and procedures it has applied.

                     (2)  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the
following rules and procedures shall apply to this section:

(A) A Direct Rollover shall not be permitted to more than one Eligible
Retirement Plan.

(B) A Direct Rollover shall not be permitted if it constitutes less than the
full amount of the Eligible Rollover Distribution.

to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

                                       27
                        (3) Eligible Retirement Plan.  An individual retirement

                (a)     The Administrator shall provide Participants or other
Distributees of Eligible Rollover Distributions with a written notice
designed to comply with the requirements of section 402(f) of the Code.  Such
notice shall be provided within a reasonable period of time before making an
Eligible Rollover Distribution.

                                       28

                (b)     Any elections concerning the payment of benefits under
section 6.7 shall be made on a form prescribed by the Administrator.  The
Participant or other Distributee shall submit a completed form to the
Administrator at least thirty (30) days before payment is scheduled to
commence, unless the Administrator agrees to a shorter time period.  Any
election made under this section shall be revocable until thirty (30) days
before payment is scheduled to commence.

                (c)     An election to have payment made in a Direct Rollover 
shall only be valid if the Participant or other Distributee provides adequate
information to the Administrator for the implementation of such Direct
Rollover and such reasonable verification as the Administrator may require
that the transferee is an Eligible Retirement Plan.

        6.14    Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

                (a)     Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan,
payments shall be made in accordance with any judgment, decree or order
determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                (b)(1)     If the Plan receives a Domestic Relations Order, the
Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee
of the receipt of such order and of the Plan's procedures for determining
whether such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  The
Administrator shall, within a reasonable period after receipt of such order,
determine whether it is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify the
Participant and each Alternate Payee of that determination.

                        (2)   During any period in which the issue of whether a
Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being
determined, the Administrator shall separately account for the amounts that
would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the
order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                (c)(1)     A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of
this subsection only if such order clearly specifies the following:

          (A) the name and last known mailing address (if any) of the
Participant and the name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by
the order;

          (B) the amount or the percentage of the Participant's benefits to be
paid by the Plan to each such Alternate Payee or the manner in which such amount
or percentage is to be determined;

          (C) the number of payments or period to which such order applies; and

          (D) each plan to which such order applies.

                      (2) A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of
this subsection only if such order does not:

                                       29

          (A) require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit or any
option not otherwise provided under the Plan;

          (B) require the Plan to provide increased benefits (determined on the
basis of actuarial value); and

          (C) does not require the payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee
that are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under another order
previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                (d)  A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing
to meet the requirements of section 6.14(c)(2)(A) solely because such order
requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee:

                        (1) in the case of any payment before a Participant has
separated from service, on or after the date on which the Participant attains
(or would have attained) the Earliest Retirement Date;

                        (2) as if the Participant had retired on the date on
which such payment is to begin under such order (but taking into account only
the present value of the benefits actually accrued and not taking into
account the present value of any employer subsidy for early retirement); and

                        (3) in any form in which such benefits may be paid under
the Plan to the Participant (other than in the form of a qualified joint and
survivor annuity with respect to the Alternate Payee and his or her
subsequent spouse).

                (e) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing
to meet the requirements of section 6.14(c)(2)(A) solely because such order
requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee at a date
before the Participant is entitled to receive a distribution.  Such
distribution shall be made to such Alternate Payee notwithstanding any
contrary provision of the Plan.

                (f) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

                    (1)  Alternate Payee.  Any spouse, former spouse, child or
other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a Domestic Relations
Order as having a right to benefits under the Plan with respect to such
Participant.

                    (2)   Domestic Relations Order.  A judgment, decree or
order relating to child support, alimony or marital property rights, as
defined in section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code.

                    (3)     Earliest Retirement Date.  The earlier of:

          (A) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution
under the Plan; or

                                       30

          (B) the later of:

              (i)     the date the Participant attains age fifty (50); or

              (ii)    the earliest date on which the Participant could begin
receiving benefits under the Plan if the Participant separated from service.

                   (4)     Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  A Domestic
Relations Order that satisfies the requirements of subsection (c) and section
414(p)(1)(A) of the Code.

          (g) If an Alternate Payee entitled to payment under this section is
the spouse or former spouse of a Participant and payment will otherwise be made
in an Eligible Rollover Distribution, then such spouse or former spouse may
elect that all, or any portion, of such payment shall instead be transferred as
a Direct Rollover. Such Direct Rollover shall be governed by the requirements of
section 6.12.

          (h) If a Domestic Relations Order directs that payment be made to an
Alternate Payee before the Participant's Earliest Retirement Date and such
Domestic Relations Order otherwise qualifies as a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, then the Domestic Relations Order shall be treated as a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order and such payment shall be made to the Alternate Payee,
even though the Participant is not entitled to receive a distribution under the
Plan because he or she continues to be an Employee of one of the Adopting
Employers.

                (i)     This section shall be interpreted and administered in
accordance with section 414(p) of the Code.

        6.15    Lost Beneficiary.

                (a)     All Participants and Beneficiaries shall have the
obligation to keep the Administrator informed of their current address until
such time as all benefits due have been paid.

                (b) If any amount is payable to a Participant or Beneficiary
who cannot be located to receive such payment, such amount may, at the
discretion of the Administrator, be forfeited; provided, however, that if
such Participant or Beneficiary subsequently claims the forfeited amount, it
shall be reinstated and paid to such Participant or Beneficiary.  Such
reinstatement may, in the Administrator's sole discretion, be made from
Company Contributions, forfeitures or Trust earnings, and shall be treated as
a special allocation that supersedes the normal allocation rules.

                (c) If the Administrator has not, after due diligence, located
a Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to payment within three (3)
years after the Participant's Severance from Service, then, at the discretion
of the Administrator, such person may be presumed deceased for purposes of
this Plan.  Any such presumption of death shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all parties.

                                       31

        6.16    Determination of Amount of Withdrawal or Distribution.  In
determining the amount of any withdrawal or distribution hereunder, the
Participant's Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received; provided, however, that
in any case where the telephone notice is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time (daylight or standard, whichever is in effect on the date of the call),
the Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Business
Day.

        6.17    Offsets.  Any transfers or payments made from a Participant's
Account to a person other than the Participant pursuant to the provisions of
this Plan shall reduce the Participant's Account and offset any amounts
otherwise due to such Participant.  Such transfers or payments shall not be
considered a forfeiture for purposes of the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                     Loans

        7.1    Availability of Loans.  Participants may borrow against all or a
portion of the balance in the Participant's Elective Deferral Account,
Employee After-Tax Contribution Account and Rollover Contribution Account,
and the Matching Contribution Account if the Participant has a Nonforfeitable
right thereto pursuant to section 5.2, subject to the limitations set forth
in this ARTICLE.  Participants who have incurred a Severance from Service
will not be eligible for a Plan loan.  The Vice President, Human Resources,
is authorized to administer this loan program.

        7.2   Minimum Amount of Loan.  No loan of less than five hundred
dollars ($500) will be permitted.

        7.3   Maximum Amount of Loan.  No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%)
of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance will be permitted.  In
addition, limits imposed by the Code and any other requirements of applicable
statute or regulation will be applied.  Under the current requirements of the
Code, if the aggregate value of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Account
balance exceeds twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), the loan cannot exceed the
lesser of one-half () the Participants Nonforfeitable Account balance or
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) reduced by the excess of (a) the highest
outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one-year period ending
on the day before the date on which such loan was made over (b) the
outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which such loan was
made.

        7.4   Effective Date of Loans.  Loans will be effective as specified in
the Administrator's rules then in effect.



                                       32

        7.5   Repayment Schedule.  The Participant may select a repayment
schedule of one, two, three, four or five (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) years.  If the
loan is used to acquire any dwelling which, within a reasonable time is to be
used (determined at the time the loan is made) as the principal residence of
the Participant, the repayment period may be extended up to fifteen (15)
years at the election of the Participant.  All repayments will be made
through payroll deductions in accordance with the loan agreement executed at
the time the loan is made, except that, in the event of the sale of all or a
portion of the business of the Employer or one of the Adopting Employers, or
other unusual circumstances, the Administrator, through uniform and equitable
rules, may establish other means of repayment.  The loan agreement will
permit repayment of the entire outstanding balance in one lump-sum.  The
minimum repayment amount per pay period is ten dollars ($10) for Participants
paid weekly and fifty dollars ($50) for Participants paid monthly.  The
repayment schedule shall provide for substantially level amortization of the
loan.  Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted under
section 414(u) of the Code.

        7.6     Limit on Number of Loans.  No more than two (2) loans may be
outstanding at any time.

        7.7     Interest Rate.  The interest rate for a loan pursuant to this
ARTICLE will be equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal
on the first business day in June and December of each year.  The rate
published on the first business day in June will apply to loans which are
effective at any time during the period July 1 through December 31
thereafter; the rate published on the first business day of December will
apply to loans which are effective at any time during the period January 1
through June 30 thereafter.

        7.8     Effect Upon Participant's Elective Deferral Account.  Upon the
granting of a loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in
the Participant's Account to the respective investment funds will be reduced
on a pro rata basis and replaced by the loan balance which will be designated
as an asset in the Account.  Such reduction shall be effected by reducing the
Participant's Accounts in the following sequence, with no reduction of the
succeeding Accounts until prior Accounts have been exhausted by the loan:
Matching Contribution Account; Elective Deferral Account; Rollover
Contribution Account; and Employee After-Tax Contribution Account.  Upon
repayment of the principal and interest, the loan balance will be reduced,
the Participant Accounts will be increased in the reverse order in which they
were exhausted by the loan, and the loan payments will be allocated to the
respective investment funds in accordance with the investment election then
in effect.

                                       33

        7.9     Effect of Severance From Service and Nonpayment.  In the event
that a loan remains outstanding upon the Severance from Service of a
Participant, the Participant will be given the option of continuing to repay
the outstanding loan.  In any case where payments on the outstanding loan are
not made within ninety (90) days of the Participant's Severance from Service
Date, the amount of any unpaid principal will be deducted from the
Participant's account and reported as a distribution.  If, as a result of
Layoff or Authorized Leave of Absence, a Participant, although still in a
Period of Service, is not being compensated through the Employer's payroll
system, loan payments will be suspended until the earliest of the first pay
date after the Participant returns to active employment with the Employer,
the Participant's Severance from Service Date, or the expiration of twelve
(12) months from the date of the suspension.  In the event the Participant
does not return to active employment with the Employer, the Participant will
be given the option of continuing to repay the outstanding loan.  If the
Participant fails to resume payments on the loan, the outstanding loan will
be reported as a taxable distribution.  In no event, however, shall the loan
be deducted from the Participant's Account earlier than the date on which the
Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service, or, (ii) attains age fifty-
nine and one-half (59).

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      Contribution and Benefit Limitations

        8.1     Contribution Limits.

                (a)     The Annual Additions that may be allocated to a
Participant's Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

                        (1)     thirty thousand dollars ($30,000); or

                        (2)     twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's
Compensation for that Limitation Year.

                (b)  If the Employer maintains any other Defined Contribution
Plans then the limitations in subsection (a) shall be computed with reference
to the aggregate Annual Additions for each Participant from all such Defined
Contribution Plans.

                (c)  If the Annual Additions for a Participant would exceed the
limits specified in this section, then the Annual Additions under this Plan
for that Participant shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent such
limits from being exceeded.  Such reduction shall be made in accordance with
section 8.4.

        8.2     Overall Limits.

                (a)     If a Participant is participating in both a Defined
Contribution Plan and a Defined Benefit Plan of the Employer, then the sum of
the Defined Contribution Fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction for any
Limitation Year shall not exceed 1.0.

                                       34

                (b)     If the sum of the Defined Contribution Fraction and the
Defined Benefit Fraction would exceed 1.0, then the annual benefits under the
Defined Benefit Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the sum
of such fractions does not exceed 1.0.

        8.3     Annual Adjustments to Limits.  The dollar limits for Annual
Additions and the dollar limits in the Defined Benefit Fraction and Defined
Contribution Fraction shall be adjusted for cost-of-living to the extent
permitted under section 415 of the Code.

        8.4     Excess Amounts.

                (a)  The foregoing limits shall be limits on the allocation that
may be made to a Participant's Account in any Limitation Year.  If an excess
Annual Addition would otherwise result from allocation of forfeitures,
reasonable errors in determining Compensation or other comparable reasons,
then the Administrator may take any (or all) of the following steps to
prevent the excess Annual Additions from being allocated:

                        (1)  return any contributions from the Participant, as
long as such return is nondiscriminatory;

                        (2)  hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense
account and apply the balance of the suspense account against Matching
Contributions for that Participant made in succeeding years;

                        (3)  hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense
account and apply the balance of the suspense account against succeeding year
Matching Contributions;

                        (4) reallocate the excess amounts to other Participants.

                (b)  Any suspense account established under this section shall
not be credited with income or loss unless otherwise directed by the
Administrator.  If a suspense account under this section is to be applied in
a subsequent Limitation Year, then the amounts in the suspense account shall
be applied before any Annual Additions (other than forfeitures) are made for
such Limitation Year.

        8.5     Definitions.

                (a)  The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

                        (1) Annual Addition.  The sum for any Limitation Year of
additions (not including Rollover Contributions) to a Participant's Account
as a result of:

          (A) Employer contributions (including Matching Contributions,
Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective Deferrals);

                        (2) Defined Benefit Fraction. A fraction, the numerator
of which is the Projected Annual Benefit of the Participant under all Defined
Benefit Plans of the Employer (determined as of the close of the Limitation
Year) and the denominator of which is the Projected Annual Benefit the
Participant would have under such plans (determined as of the close of the
Limitation Year) if such plans provided an annual benefit equal to the lesser
of:

          (A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by ninety thousand dollars
($90,000); or

          (B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred percent (100%) of the
Participant's average Compensation for the Participant's three (3) consecutive
Years of Service that produce the highest average Compensation.

          For purposes of determining the Defined Benefit Fraction of a
Participant who was employed by an Adopting Employer on December 18, 1997 or who
transferred to an Adopting Company from General Motors Corporation or one of its
affiliates after such date and before December 1, 1998, service for and
Compensation received from General Motors Corporation and its affiliates, if
any, shall be taken into account, and the Projected Annual Benefit under any
Defined Benefit Plan of the Employer shall not be reduced as a result of the
transfer of any assets or liabilities from a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by
General Motors Corporation and its affiliates.

                        (3)     Defined Benefit Plan.  Any plan qualified under
section 401(a) of the Code that is not a Defined Contribution Plan.

                        (4)     Defined Contribution Fraction.  A fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant's
Accounts as of the close of the Limitation Year, and the denominator of which
is equal to the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for
such Limitation Year and for each prior year of service with the Employer:

          (A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by thirty thousand dollars
($30,000); or

          (B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Participant's Compensation.

          For purposes of determining the Defined Contribution Fraction of a
Participant, services performed for, Compensation paid by and Annual Additions
made by General Motors Corporation or any of its affiliates shall not be taken
into account.

                        (5) Defined Contribution Plan.  A plan qualified under
section 401(a) of the Code that provides an individual account for each
Participant and benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the
Participant's Account, plus any income, expenses, gains and losses, and
forfeitures of other Participants which may be allocated to such
Participant's account.

                                       36

                        (6)  Limitation Year.  The Plan Year, until the Employer

          (A) the Participant continues in employment until Normal Retirement
Age under the Plan;

          (B) the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year remains the
same until such Normal Retirement Age; and

          (C) all other relevant factors under the Plan for the Limitation Year
will remain constant.

                (b) For purposes of this ARTICLE, the term "Compensation" shall
mean all amounts paid to an Employee for personal service actually rendered
to the Employer, including, but not limited to, wages, salary, commissions,
bonuses, overtime and other premium pay as specified in Treas. Reg.  1.415-
2(d)(2), but excluding deferred compensation, stock options, and other
distributions that receive special tax treatment as specified in Treas. Reg.
 1.415-2(d)(3).  For Plan Years beginning after 1997, Compensation for this
purpose will include salary reduction amounts under section 125 cafeteria plans
and section 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans.  This definition shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of section 415 of
the Code.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                Top-Heavy Rules

        9.1     General.  This ARTICLE shall only be applicable if the Plan
becomes a Top-Heavy Plan under section 416 of the Code.  If the Plan does not
become a Top-Heavy Plan, then none of the provisions of this ARTICLE shall be
operative.  The provisions of this ARTICLE shall be interpreted and applied
in a manner consistent with the requirements of section 416 of the Code and
the regulations thereunder.

        9.2     Vesting.

                (a)     If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, then amounts in a
Participant's Account attributable to Matching Contributions shall be vested
in accordance with this section, in lieu of ARTICLE V, to the extent this
section produces a greater degree of vesting.  This section shall only apply
to Participants who have at least an Hour of Service after the Plan becomes a
Top-Heavy Plan.

                (b)     If applicable, amounts in a Participant's Account
attributable to Matching Contributions shall vest as follows:

              Years of
        Top Heavy Service               Vested Percentage

        Fewer than 3                              0%
        3 or more                               100%

                                       37

                (c)   If the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan then subsection
(b) shall no longer be applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall
the vested percentage of any Participant be reduced by reason of the Plan
ceasing to be a Top-Heavy Plan.  Subsection (b) shall nevertheless continue
to apply for any Participant who was previously covered by it and who has at
least three (3) Years of Top-Heavy Service.

        9.3     Minimum Contribution.

                (a)   For each Plan Year that the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the
Adopting Employers shall make a contribution to be allocated directly to the
Account of each Non-Key Employee.

                (b)   The amount of the contribution (and forfeitures) required
to be contributed and allocated for a Plan Year by this section is three
percent (3%) of the Top-Heavy Compensation for that Plan Year of each Non-Key
Employee who is both a Participant and an Employee on the last day of the
Plan Year for which the contribution is made, with adjustments as provided
herein.  If the contribution allocated to the Accounts of each Key Employee
for a Plan Year is less than three percent (3%) of his or her Top-Heavy
Compensation, then the contribution required by the preceding sentence shall
be reduced for that Plan Year to the same percentage of Top-Heavy
Compensation that was allocated to the Account of the Key Employee whose
Account received the greatest allocation of contributions for that Plan Year,
when computed as a percentage of Top-Heavy Compensation.

                (c)  The contribution required by this section shall be reduced
for a Plan Year to the extent of any Company Contributions made and allocated
under this Plan or any other contributions from the Adopting Employers made
and allocated under this or any other Aggregated Plans.  Elective Deferrals
shall be treated as if they were Company Contributions for purposes of
determining any minimum contributions required under subsection (b).

        9.4   Definitions.

              (a) The following terms shall have the meanings specified herein:

                      (1)     Aggregated Plans.

          (A) The Plan, any plan that is part of a "required aggregation group"
and any plan that is part of a "permissive aggregation group" that the Adopting
Employers treat as an Aggregated Plan.

          (B) The "required aggregation group" consists of each plan of the
Adopting Employers in which a Key Employee participates (in the Plan Year
containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years)
and each other plan of the Adopting Employers which enables any plan of the
Adopting Employers in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements
of section 401(a)(4) or section 410(b) of the Code. Also included in the
required aggregation group shall be any terminated plan that covered a Key
Employee and was maintained within the five (5) year period ending on the
Determination Date.

                                       38

          (C) The "permissive aggregation group" consists of any plan not
included in the "required aggregation group" if the Aggregated Plan described in
subparagraph (A) above would continue to meet the requirements of section
401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code with such additional plan being taken into
account.

                        (2)  Determination Date.  The last day of the preceding
Plan Year, or, in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day
of such plan year.  The computations made on the Determination Date shall
utilize information from the immediately preceding Valuation Date.

                        (3)  Key Employee.

          (A) An Employee (or former Employee) who, at any time during the Plan
Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan
Years, is:

                       (i)  An officer of one of the Adopting Employers with 
annual Top-Heavy Compensation for the Plan Year greater than fifty percent (50%)
of the amount in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar
year in which that Plan Year ends;

                       (ii) one of the ten (10) Employees owning (or considered
as owning under section 318 of the Code) the largest interest in one of the
Adopting Employers, who has more than one-half of one percent (.5%) interest in
such Adopting Employer, and who has annual Top-Heavy Compensation for the Plan
Year at least equal to the maximum dollar limitation under section 415(c)(1)(A)
of the Code for the calendar year in which that Plan Year ends;

                        (iii)   a five percent (5%) or greater shareholder in
one of the Adopting Employers; or

                        (iv)    a one percent (1%) shareholder in one of
the Adopting Employers with annual Top-Heavy Compensation from the Adopting
Employer of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).

          (B) For purposes of paragraphs (3)(A)(iii) and (3)(A)(iv), the rules
of section 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Code shall not apply. Beneficiaries of an
Employee shall acquire the character of such Employee and inherited benefits
will retain the character of the benefits of the Employee who performed
services.

                      (4) Non-Key Employee.  Any Employee who is not a Key
Employee.

                      (5) Super Top-Heavy Plan.  A Top-Heavy Plan in which the
sum of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits and accounts for
Key Employees exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the comparable sum determined
for all Employees.  The foregoing determination shall be made in the same
manner as the determination of a Top-Heavy Plan under this section.

                      (6) Top-Heavy Compensation.  The term Top-Heavy
Compensation shall have the same meaning as the term Compensation has under
section 8.5(b).

                                       39

                      (7) Top-Heavy Plan.  The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a
Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date for that Plan Year, the sum of
(i) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees
under all Defined Benefit Plans that are Aggregated Plans and (ii) the
aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under all Defined Contribution
Plans that are Aggregated Plans exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the comparable
sum determined for all Employees.

                        (8) Years of Top-Heavy Service.  The number of Years of
Service with the Adopting Employers that might be counted under section
411(a) of the Code, disregarding all service that may be disregarded under
section 411(a)(4) of the Code.

                (b) The definitions in this section and the provisions of this
ARTICLE shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with section 416 of the
Code.

        9.5     Special Rules.

                (a) For purposes of determining the present value of the
cumulative accrued benefit for any Participant or the amount of the Account
of any Participant, such present value or amount shall be increased by the
aggregate distributions made with respect to such Participant under the Plan
during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date and the four (4)
preceding Plan Years (if such amounts would otherwise have been omitted).

                (b) (1) In the case of unrelated rollovers and transfers,
(i) the plan making the distribution or transfer is to count the distribution
as a distribution under section 416(g)(3) of the Code, and (ii) the plan
accepting the rollover or transfer is not to consider the rollover or
transfer as part of the accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was
accepted after December 31, 1983, but is to consider it as part of the
accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was accepted before January 1,
1984.  For this purpose, rollovers and transfers are to be considered
unrelated if they are both initiated by the Employee and made from a plan
maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer.

                        (2) In the case of related rollovers and transfers, the
plan making the distribution or transfer is not to count the distribution or
transfer under section 416(g)(3) of the Code, and the plan accepting the
rollover or transfer counts the rollover or transfer in the present value of
the accrued benefits.  For this purpose, rollovers and transfers are to be
considered related if they are not unrelated under subsection (b)(1).

                (c) If any individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any
plan for any Plan Year, but such individual was a Key Employee with respect
to such plan for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefit for such Employee
(and the account of such Employee) shall not be taken into account.

                (d) Beneficiaries of Key Employees and former Key Employees are
considered to be Key Employees and Beneficiaries of Non-Key Employees and
former Non-Key Employees are considered to be Non-Key Employees.

                                       40

                (e) The accrued benefit of an Employee who has not performed
any service for the Adopting Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during
the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date is excluded from
the calculation to determine top-heaviness.  However, if an Employee performs
no services, such Employee's total accrued benefit is included in the
calculation for top-heaviness.

        9.6     Adjustment of Limitations.

                (a)   If this section is applicable, then the contribution and
benefit limitations in section 8.5 shall be reduced.  Such reduction shall be
made by modifying section 8.5(a)(2)(A) of the definition of Defined Benefit
Fraction to instead be "(i) the product of 1.0 multiplied by ninety thousand
dollars ($90,000), or" and by modifying section 8.5(a)(4)(A) of the
definition of Defined Contribution Fraction to instead be "(i) the product of
1.0 multiplied by thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), or".

                (b) This section shall be applicable for any Plan Year in which
either:

                        (1) the Plan is a Super Top-Heavy Plan, or

                        (2) the Plan both is a Top-Heavy Plan (but not a Super
Top-Heavy Plan) and provides contributions (and forfeitures) to the Account
of any Non-Key Employee in an amount less than four percent (4%) of such
Participant's Top-Heavy Compensation, as determined in accordance with
section 9.3(b).

                                       41

        11.2    Responsibilities of the Administrator.  Except as otherwise
provided in ERISA, the Administrator (and any other named Fiduciaries) may
allocate any duties and responsibilities under the Plan and Trust among

be by written instrument.

        11.3  Liability for Acts of Other Fiduciaries.  Each Fiduciary shall be
responsible only for the duties allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary, and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary
responsibility with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary
unless:

                (a)     The Fiduciary knowingly participates in or knowingly
attempts to conceal the act or omission of such other Fiduciary  and knows
that such act or omission constitutes a breach of fiduciary responsibility by
the other Fiduciary;

                                       42

                (b)  The Fiduciary has knowledge of a breach of fiduciary
responsibility by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable efforts
under the circumstances to remedy the breach; or

                (c) The Fiduciary's own breach of his or her specific fiduciary
responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach.  No
Fiduciary shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his
or her assumption of Fiduciary status or after his or her termination from
such status.

        11.4    Employment by Fiduciaries.  Any Fiduciary hereunder may employ,
with the written approval of the Administrator, one or more persons to render
service with regard to any responsibility which has been assigned to such

counsel and may delegate to one or more persons any administrative duties
(clerical or otherwise) hereunder.

        11.5    Recordkeeping. The Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept
any necessary data required for determining the Account status of each
Participant.  In compiling such information, the Administrator may rely upon
its employment records, including representations made by the Participant in
the employment application and subsequent documents submitted by the
Participant to the Employer.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such
information when furnished by the Administrator or its delegate.  Each
Employee shall be required to furnish the Administrator upon request and in
such form as prescribed by the Administrator, such personal information,
affidavits and authorizations to obtain information as the Administrator may
deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, including but not
limited to proof of the Employee's date of birth and the date of birth of any
person designated by a Participant as a Beneficiary.

        11.6    Claims Review Procedure.

(a)     The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the right of any
person to Accounts under the Plan.  Any such determination by the
Administrator shall be made pursuant to the following procedure:

                        (1) Step 1. Claims with respect to an Account should be
filed by a claimant as soon as practicable after the claimant knows or should
know that a dispute has arisen with respect to an Account, but at least
thirty (30) days prior to the claimant's actual retirement date or, if
applicable, within sixty (60) days after the death, Disability or Severance
from Service of the Participant whose Account is at issue, by mailing a copy
of the claim to the Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon Company, 141
Spring Street, Lexington, Massachusetts 02173.

                        (2)Step 2. In the event that a claim with respect to an
Account is wholly or partially denied by the Administrator, the Administrator
shall, within ninety (90) days following receipt of the claim, so advise the
claimant in writing setting forth:  the specific reason or reasons for the
denial; specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial
is based; a description of any additional material or information  necessary
for the claimant to perfect the claim; an explanation as to why such material
or information is necessary; and an explanation of the Plan's claim review
procedure.

                                       43

                        (3) Step 3. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of
the denial of a claim with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have
the denial appealed shall file a request for review with the Administrator by
mailing a copy thereof to the address shown in subsection (a)(1).

                        (4) Step 4. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of
a request for review, the Administrator shall provide the claimant a further
opportunity to present his or her position.  At the Administrator's
discretion, such presentation may be through an oral or written presentation.
Prior to such presentation, the claimant shall be permitted the opportunity
to review pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing.
Within a reasonable time following presentation of the claimant's position,
which usually should not exceed thirty (30) days, the Administrator shall
inform the claimant in writing of the decision on review setting forth the
reasons for such decision and citing pertinent provisions in the Plan.

                (b) The Administrator is the Fiduciary to whom the Plan grants
full discretion, with the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to
determine whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount,
form and timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter under the Plan
which is raised by a claimant or identified by the Administrator.  All
questions arising from or in connection with the provisions of the Plan and
its administration, not herein provided to be determined by the Board of
Directors, shall be determined by the Administrator, and any determination so
made shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons affected thereby.

        11.7    Indemnification of Directors and Employees.  The Adopting
Employers shall indemnify by insurance or otherwise any Fiduciary who is a
director, officer or Employee of the Employer, his or her heirs and legal
representatives, against all liability and reasonable expense, including
counsel fees, amounts paid in settlement and amounts of judgments, fines or
penalties, incurred or imposed upon him in connection with any claim, action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
by reason of acts or omissions in his or her capacity as a Fiduciary
hereunder, provided that such act or omission is not the result of gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  The Adopting Employers may indemnify other
Fiduciaries, their heirs and legal representatives, under the  circumstances,
and subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, if such
indemnification is determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best
interests of the Adopting Employers.

        11.8    Immunity from Liability.  Except to the extent that section
410(a) of ERISA prohibits the granting of immunity to Fiduciaries from
liability for any responsibility, obligation, or duty imposed under Title I,
Subtitle B, Part 4, of said Act, an officer, Employee, member of the Board of
Directors of the Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this
Plan shall be immune from any liability for any action or failure to act
except such action or failure to act which results from said officer's,

                                  ARTICLE XII
                        Amendment Or Termination Of Plan

        12.1  Right to Amend or Terminate Plan.  Each of the Adopting Employers
reserves the right at any time or times, by action of its board of directors,
to modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part as to its
Employees, in which event a certified copy of the resolution of the board of
directors, authorizing such modification, amendment or termination shall be
delivered to the Trustee and to the other Adopting Employers whose Employees
are covered by this Plan, provided, however, that no amendment to the Plan
shall be made which shall:

          (a) reduce any vested right or interest to which any Participant or
Beneficiary is then entitled under this Plan or otherwise reduce the vested
rights of a Participant in violation of section 411(d)(6) of the Code;

          (b) vest in the Adopting Employers any interest or control over any
assets of the Trust;

          (c) cause any assets of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to,
purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their
Beneficiaries; or

          (d) change any of the rights, duties or powers of the Trustee without
its written consent.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section or any
other provisions of this Plan, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be
made retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan with, or to
satisfy the conditions of, ERISA, the Code, or any other law, governmental
regulation or ruling. Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the Board of Directors. In the alternative,
subject to the conditions prescribed in subsections 12.1(a) through (e), the
Plan may be amended by an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of
Directors to amend the Plan, provided, however, that any such amendment does
not, in the view of such officer, materially increase costs of the Plan to the
Company or any Adopting Employer.

          12.2 Amendment to Vesting Schedule. Any amendment that modifies the
vesting provisions of ARTICLE IV shall either:

          (a) provide for a rate of vesting that is at least as rapid for any
Participant as the vesting schedule previously in effect; or

          (b) provide that any adversely affected Participant with a Period of
Service of at least three (3) years may elect, in writing, to remain under the
vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment. Such election must be made
within sixty (60) days after the later of the:

(1)     adoption of the amendment;

(2)     effective date of the amendment; or

(3)     issuance by the Company of written notice of the amendment.

                                       45

        12.3    Maintenance of Plan.  The Company has established the Plan with
the bona fide intention and expectation that it will be able to make its
contributions indefinitely, but the Company is not and shall not be under any
obligation or liability whatsoever to continue its contributions or to
maintain the Plan for any given length of time.

          12.4 Termination of Plan and Trust. The Plan and Trust hereby created
shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (a) Delivery to the Trustee of a notice of termination executed by the
Company specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall terminate; or

          (b) Adjudication of the Company as bankrupt or general assignment by
the Company to or for the benefit of creditors or dissolution of the Company.

          12.5 Distribution on Termination.

          (a) (1) If the Plan is terminated, or contributions permanently
discontinued, an Adopting Employer, at its discretion, may (at that time or at
any later time) direct the Trustee to distribute the amounts in a Participant's
Account in accordance with the distribution provisions of the Plan. Such
distribution shall, notwithstanding any prior provisions of the Plan, be made in
a single lump-sum without the Participant's consent as to the timing of such
distribution. If, however, an Adopting Employer (or an Affiliate) maintains
another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan),
then the preceding sentence shall not apply and the Adopting Employer, at its
discretion, may direct such distributions to be made as a direct transfer to
such other plan without the Participant's consent, if the Participant does not
consent to an immediate distribution.

          (2) If an Adopting Employer does not direct distribution under
paragraph (1), each Participant's Account shall be maintained until distributed
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan (determined without regard to this
section) as though the Plan had not been terminated or contributions
discontinued.

          (b) If the Administrator determines that it is administratively
impracticable to make distributions under this section in cash or that it would
be in the Participant's best interest to make some or all of the distributions
with in-kind property, it shall offer all Participants and Beneficiaries
entitled to a distribution under this section a reasonable opportunity to elect
to receive a distribution of the in-kind property being distributed by the
Trust. Those Participants and Beneficiaries so electing shall receive a
proportionate share of such in-kind property in the form (outright, in trust or
in partnership) that the Administrator determines will provide the most feasible
method of distribution.

          (c) (1) Amounts attributable to elective contributions shall only be
distributable by reason of this section if one of the following is applicable:

(A) the Plan is terminated without the establishment of a successor plan;

                                       46
(B) an Adopting Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated
corporation of substantially all of the assets used by the Adopting Employer in
a trade or business of the Adopting Employer with respect to an Employee who
continues employment with the corporation acquiring such assets; or

(C) an Adopting Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated entity
of the Adopting Employer's interest in a subsidiary with respect to an Employee
who continues employment with such subsidiary.

          (2) For purposes of this section, the term "elective contributions"
means employer contributions made to the Plan that were subject to a cash or
deferred election under a cash or deferred arrangement.

          (3) Elective contributions are distributable under subsections
(c)(1)(B) and (C) above only if the Adopting Employers continue to maintain the
Plan after the disposition.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                             Additional Provisions

        13.1  Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Transfer.  In the event of any
merger or consolidation with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any
other plan or to this Plan, each Participant of the Plan shall be entitled to
a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, which is
equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to
receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan
had been terminated).

        13.2    Necessity of Initial Qualification.  This Plan is established
with the intent that it shall qualify under sections   401(a) and 401(k) of
the Code as those sections exist at the time the Plan is established.  If the
Internal Revenue Service determines that the Plan initially fails to meet
those requirements, then within thirty (30) days after the date of such
determination, all of the assets of the Trust Fund held for the benefit of
Participants and their Beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the
contributors to the Plan in proportion to their contributions, and the Plan
shall be considered to be rescinded and of no force or effect, unless such
inadequacy is removed by a retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code.  Any
nonvested Matching Contributions and earnings attributable thereto shall be
returned to the Adopting Employers.

        13.3    No Assignment.

(a)     Except as provided herein, the right of any Participant or Beneficiary
to any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be subject to
alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any
kind.

(b)     Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer permitted by
the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to regulations issued under section
401(a)(13) of the Code.

(c)     Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer pursuant to a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                                       47

(d)     Subsection (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer to the Trust
in accordance with section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code to satisfy the
Participant's liabilities to the Plan or Trust in any one or more of the
following circumstances:

          (1) the Participant is convicted of a crime involving the Plan;

          (2) a civil judgment (or consent order or decree) in an action is
brought against the Participant in connection with an ERISA fiduciary violation;
or

          (3) the Participant enters into a settlement agreement with the
Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation over an ERISA
fiduciary violation.

        13.4    Limitation of Rights of Employees.  This Plan is strictly a
voluntary undertaking on the part of the Adopting Employers and shall not be
deemed to constitute a contract between any of the Adopting Employers and any
Employee, or to be a consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition
of the employment of any Employee.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be
deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of any of
the  Adopting Employers or shall interfere with the right of any of the
Adopting Employers to discharge or otherwise terminate the employment of any
Employee of an Adopting Employer at any time.  No Employee shall be entitled
to any right or claim hereunder except to the extent such right is
specifically fixed under the terms of the Plan.

        13.5    Construction.  The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted
and construed in accordance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.  Any
amendment or restatement of the Plan or Trust that would otherwise violate
the requirements of section 411(d)(6) of the Code or otherwise cause the Plan
or Trust to cease to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code shall be
deemed to be invalid.  Capitalized terms shall have meanings as defined
herein.  Singular nouns shall be read as plural, masculine pronouns shall be
read as feminine and vice versa, as appropriate.  References to "section" or
"ARTICLE" shall be read as references to appropriate provisions of this Plan,
unless otherwise indicated.

        13.6  Company Determinations.  Any determinations, actions or decisions
of the Company (including but not limited to, Plan amendments and Plan
termination) shall be made by its Board of Directors in accordance with its
established procedures or by such other individuals, groups or organizations
that have been properly delegated by the Board of Directors to make such
determination or decision.

        13.7    Governing Law.  This Plan shall be governed by, construed and
administered in accordance with ERISA and any other applicable federal law;
provided, however, that to the extent not preempted by federal law, this Plan
shall be governed by, construed and administered under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

                                       48

                                  ARTICLE XIV

        14.2    Administrator.  The person, persons, corporation, committee,
group or organization designated to be the Administrator of the Plan and to

designated, the Administrator shall be the Company.

authorized officer to participate in the Plan on account of its Employees,
provided that participation in the Plan by such corporation is approved by
the Board of Directors, or an officer to whom authority to approve
participation by a corporation is delegated by the Board of Directors, but

adopting corporation excluded by the Board of Directors.  The Adopting
Employers shall be listed in Exhibit A attached to this Plan.

section 414(m) of the Code, or which is an entity otherwise required to be
aggregated with the Adopting Employer pursuant to section 414(o) of the Code.
For purposes of ARTICLE VIII, the determination of controlled groups of
corporations and trades or businesses under common control shall be made
after taking into account the modification required under section 415(h) of

not take effect unless the spouse consents in writing to such designation and
said spousal consent acknowledges the effect of said designation and is
witnessed by a representative of the Plan or a notary public.  Said spousal


                                       49

consent shall be effective only with respect to the spouse granting such
consent, and shall not be required if the Participant can establish that

whether or not the Participant is living at the time of such receipt,
provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Administrator shall be
liable by reason of any payment of the Participant's Account made before
receipt of such form.  If a Beneficiary entitled to payment was the spouse or
former spouse of the deceased Participant and payment will otherwise be made
in an Eligible Rollover Distribution, then such spouse or former spouse may
elect that all, or any portion of, such payment shall instead be transferred

                           Effective December 18, 1997

                                    ARTICLE I
                            Establishment of the Plan

         1.1 Establishment of the Plan. The Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan
(10014)  (the  "Plan"),   which  is  effective   December  18,  1997,   provides
Participants with a tax-effective  means of allocating a portion of their salary
to be invested in one or more investment opportunities specified in the Plan and
set aside for the short-term and long-term needs of the  Participants.  The Plan
also provides retirement benefits for Participants or their Beneficiaries in the
event a Participant  becomes disabled or dies before retirement.  It is intended
that the Plan will comply with all of the  requirements  for a qualified  profit
sharing  plan under  sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the Code and will be amended
from time to time to maintain compliance with these requirements. The terms used
in the Plan have the  meanings  specified  in ARTICLE  XIV  unless  the  context
indicates  otherwise.  The Plan is intended to  constitute  a plan  described in
section  404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of  Federal  Regulations,  ss.
2550.404(c)-1.  Participants in the Plan are responsible for selecting their own
investment  opportunities from the options available under the Plan and the Plan
Fiduciaries  are relieved of any liability for any losses which are a direct and
necessary  result  of  investment   instructions   given  by  a  Participant  or
Beneficiary.

         1.2 Trust.  The Trust shall be the sole  source of  benefits  under the
Plan and the Adopting  Employers or any  Affiliate  shall not have any liability
for the adequacy of the benefits provided under the Plan.

         1.3  Effective  Date.  The Plan shall be  effective  as of December 18,
1997, or such other dates as may be specifically provided herein or as otherwise
required by law for the Plan to satisfy the  requirements  of section  401(a) of
the Code.

         1.4 Adoption of Plan. With the prior approval of the Board of Directors
or an officer of the Company  authorized  by the Board of Directors to give such
approval,  the Plan and Trust may be  adopted  by any  Corporation  (hereinafter
referred  to as an  Adopting  Employer).  Such  adoption  shall  be  made by the
Adopting  Employer filing with the Administrator and Trustee a certified copy of
a board of  directors  (or  equivalent)  resolution  adopting the Plan and Trust
without  modification.  The  Administrator  may require the Adopting Employer to
take such further  actions as it deems  appropriate  to the proper  adoption and
operation  of the Plan and Trust.  In the event of the  adoption of the Plan and
Trust by an  Adopting  Employer,  the Plan and Trust shall be  interpreted  in a
manner consistent with such adoption.

         1.5      Withdrawal of Adopting Employer.

                  (a) An  Adopting  Employer's  adoption  of  this  Plan  may be
terminated,  voluntarily  or  involuntarily,  at any time,  as  provided in this
section.

                                       2

                  (b) An  Adopting  Employer  shall  withdraw  from the Plan and
Trust if the Plan and Trust,  with respect to that  Adopting  Employer,  fail to
qualify under sections  401(a) and 501(a) of the Code (or, in the opinion of the
Administrator,  they may fail to so qualify) and the  continued  sponsorship  of
that Adopting  Employer may jeopardize the status with respect to the Company or
the remaining  Adopting  Employers,  of the Plan and Trust under sections 401(a)
and 501(a) of the Code. The Adopting Employer shall receive at least thirty (30)
days  prior  written  notice of a  withdrawal  under this  subsection,  unless a
shorter period is agreed to.

                  (c) An Adopting  Employer may  voluntarily  withdraw  from the
Plan and Trust for any reason.  Such  withdrawal  requires at least  thirty (30)
days  written  notice to the  Administrator  and the  Trustee,  unless a shorter
period is agreed to.

                  (d) Upon  withdrawal,  the Trustee shall  segregate the assets
attributable to Employees of the withdrawn Adopting Employer, the amount thereof
to be determined by the  Administrator  and the Trustee.  The segregated  assets
shall be held, paid to another trust, distributed or otherwise disposed of as is
appropriate under the circumstances;  provided, however, that any transfer shall
be for  the  exclusive  benefit  of  Participants  and  their  Beneficiaries.  A
withdrawal  of  an  Adopting  Employer  from  the  Plan  is  not  necessarily  a
termination  under  ARTICLE XII. If the  withdrawal is a  termination,  then the
provisions of ARTICLE XII shall also be applicable.

                         (6) a  Rollover  Contribution  will  not be  accepted
unless (A) the Employee on whose behalf the Rollover Contribution will be made
is either a Participant or an Eligible Employee who has notified the
Administrator that he or she intends to become a Participant on the first date
on which he or she is eligible therefor, and (B) all required information,
including selection of specific investment accounts, is provided to the
Recordkeeper - when the Rollover Contribution has been deposited, any further
change in investment allocation of future deferrals or transfer of account
balances between investment funds will be effected through the procedures set
forth in sections 4.2 and 4.3; and

                           (7) under no circumstances shall the Administrator 
accept as a Rollover Contribution amounts which have previously been subject to
federal income tax.

                                       6

                  (b) (1) The Plan shall accept a transfer of assets,  including
elective transfers in accordance with Treas. Regs. section 1.411(d)-4  Q&A-3(b),
directly from another plan  qualified  under section  401(a) of the Code only if
the Administrator,  in its sole discretion, agrees to accept such a transfer. In
determining whether to accept such a transfer,  the Administrator shall consider
the administrative  inconvenience engendered by such a transfer and any risks to
the  continued  qualification  of the Plan  under  section  401(a)  of the Code.
Acceptance  of any such  transfer  shall not  preclude  the  Administrator  from
refusing any such subsequent transfers.

                      (2) Any transfer of assets accepted under this subsection
shall be separately accounted for at all times and shall remain subject to the
provisions of the transferor plan (as it existed at the time of such transfer)
to the extent required by section 411(d)(6) of the Code (including, but not
limited to, any rights to qualified joint and survivor annuities and qualified
preretirement survivor annuities) as if such provisions were part of the Plan.
In all other respects, however, such transferred assets will be subject to the
provisions of the Plan. The Administrator may, but is not required to, describe
in an Exhibit to this Plan the special provisions that must be preserved under
section 411(d)(6) of the Code, if any, following the transfer of assets from
another plan in accordance with this subsection.

                      (3) Assets accepted under this section shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable.

                      (4) Eligible Employees who were active participants in the
Hughes Thrift and Savings Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date may elect
to transfer their entire vested account balances in such plan to the Plan in
accordance with this section 3.7(b).

         3.8 Refund of Contributions to the Adopting Employers.  Notwithstanding
the  provisions  of  ARTICLE  XII,  if,  or to the  extent  that,  any  Adopting
Employers'  deductions for contributions  made to the Plan are disallowed,  such
Adopting  Employer  will  have  the  right  to  obtain  the  return  of any such
contributions  for a period of one (1) year from the date of  disallowance.  For
this purpose,  all contributions are made subject to the condition that they are
deductible  under the Code for the taxable  year of the Adopting  Employers  for
which the  contributions  are made.  Furthermore,  any contribution  made on the
basis of a mistake in fact may be returned to the Adopting  Employers within one
(1) year from the date such contribution was made.

         3.9 Payment.  The Adopting  Employers  shall pay to the Trustee in U.S.
currency,  or by other property acceptable to the Trustee, all contributions for
each Plan Year within the time prescribed by law,  including  extensions granted
by the Internal  Revenue Service for filing the federal income tax return of the
Company for its taxable year in which such Plan Year ends.  Unless designated by
the Adopting Employers as nondeductible,  all contributions made shall be deemed
to be conditioned on their current deductibility under section 404 of the Code.

          3.10     Limits for Highly Compensated.

(a)  Elective  Deferrals,   Matching  Contributions  and  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions  allocable to the Accounts of Highly  Compensated  Employees shall
not  in any  Plan  Year  exceed  the  limits  specified  in  this  section.  The
Administrator may make the adjustments authorized in this section to ensure that
the limits of subsection (b) (or any other applicable  limits) are not exceeded,
regardless  of whether  such  adjustments  affect  some  Participants  more than
others.  This section shall be  administered  and interpreted in accordance with
sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

                                       7

(b) (1) The Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees shall
not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

(A) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Actual Deferral Percentage for
all other Eligible Participants; or

(B) the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the Actual  Deferral  Percentage
for all other Eligible  Participants or the Actual  Deferral  Percentage for the
other Eligible Participants plus two (2) percentage points.

(2) The Actual Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees shall
not exceed, in any Plan Year, the greater of:

(A) one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Actual Contribution Percentage
for all other Eligible Participants; or

(B)  the  lesser  of two  hundred  percent  (200%)  of the  Actual  Contribution
Percentage  for all  other  Eligible  Participants  or the  Actual  Contribution
Percentage for the other Eligible Participants plus two (2) percentage points.

(3) The sum of the  Actual  Deferral  Percentage  and  the  Actual  Contribution
Percentage for the Highly  Compensated  Employees shall not exceed,  in any Plan
Year, the sum of:

(A) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the greater of:

(i)  the Actual Deferral Percentage of the other Eligible Participants; or

(ii) the Actual Contribution Percentage of the other Eligible Participants; and

(B) two plus the lesser of:

(i)  the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i); or

(ii) the  amount  in  paragraph  (3)(A)(ii);  provided  that the  amount in this
paragraph  (3)(B) shall not exceed two hundred  percent  (200%) of the lesser of
the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(i) or the amount in paragraph (3)(A)(ii).

(4) The limitations  under section  3.10(b)(3)  shall be modified to reflect any
higher  limitations  provided by the Internal Revenue Service under regulations,
notices or other official statements.

(c) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

(1) Actual Contribution  Percentage.  The average of the ratios for a designated
group of Employees  (calculated  separately for each Eligible Participant in the
group)  of  the  sum  of  the  Matching  Contributions,   Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions  (other  than  those  treated  as  part  of  the  Actual  Deferral
Percentage),  and Elective  Deferrals  (other than those  treated as part of the
Actual Deferral  Percentage)  allocated for the applicable year on behalf of the
Participant, divided by the Participant's Compensation for such applicable year.
The "applicable year" for determining the Actual Contribution Percentage for the
group of Highly  Compensated  Employees  shall be the current Plan Year. For all
other Eligible  Participants,  the "applicable  year" for determining the Actual
Contribution  Percentage shall be the immediately preceding Plan Year, unless in
accordance with the procedures  prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,  the
Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

                                       8

(2) Actual Deferral Percentage. The average of the ratios for a designated group
of Eligible Participants (calculated separately for each Eligible Participant in
the  group)  of the sum of the  Elective  Deferrals  and  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions  (other  than those  treated  as part of the  Actual  Contribution
Percentage)  allocated  for the  applicable  year on  behalf  of a  Participant,
divided  by  the  Participant's  Compensation  for  such  applicable  year.  The
"applicable  year" for determining the Actual Deferral  Percentage for the group
of Highly  Compensated  Employees  shall be the current Plan Year. For all other
Eligible Participants, the "applicable year" for determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage  shall be the immediately  preceding Plan Year,  unless in accordance
with  the  procedures   prescribed  by  the  Internal   Revenue   Service,   the
Administrator elects to use the current Plan Year.

(3)  Compensation.  The Employee's wages that are required to be reported on IRS
Form W-2,  increased by any Elective Deferrals made by the Employer on behalf of
the Employee  under this Plan or any other plan of the Employer with a qualified
cash or deferred  arrangement  under section  401(k) of the Code and any pre-tax
elective  contributions  made by the  Employer  that  are  excludible  from  the
Employee's income under section 125 of the Code.

(4) Eligible Participant. Any Employee of an Adopting Employer who is authorized
under  the  terms  of the  Plan to make  Elective  Deferrals  or have  Qualified
Nonelective Contributions allocated to his or her Account for the Plan Year.

(d) For purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the Actual Contribution
Percentage test of section 401(m), all employee and matching  contributions that
are made  under  two (2) or more  plans  that are  aggregated  for  purposes  of
sections  401(a)(4) and 410(b) (other than section  410(b)(2)(A)(ii))  are to be
treated  as made  under a  single  plan and  that if two (2) or more  plans  are
permissively  aggregated for purposes of section  401(m),  the aggregated  plans
must also  satisfy  sections  401(a)(4)  and 410(b) as though they were a single
plan.

(e) In calculating  the Actual  Contribution  Percentage for purposes of section
401(m), the actual  contribution ratio of a Highly Compensated  Employee will be
determined  by  treating  all plans  subject to section  401(m)  under which the
Highly  Compensated  Employee  is  eligible  (other  than  those that may not be
permissively aggregated) as a single plan.

(f) For purposes of  determining  whether a plan  satisfies the Actual  Deferral
Percentage  test of section  401(k),  all elective  contributions  that are made
under  two (2) or more  plans  that  are  aggregated  for  purposes  of  section
401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than section  410(b)(2)(A)(ii))  are to be treated as
made  under a single  plan and that if two (2) or more  plans  are  permissively
aggregated  for  purposes  of section  401(k),  the  aggregated  plans must also
satisfy sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as though they were a single plan.

(g) In  calculating  the Actual  Deferral  Percentage  for  purposes  of section
401(k),  the actual  deferral  ratio of a Highly  Compensated  Employee  will be
determined by treating all cash or deferred  arrangements under which the Highly
Compensated  Employee is eligible (other than those that may not be permissively
aggregated) as a single arrangement.

                                       9

(h) An  elective  contribution  will be taken  into  account  under  the  Actual
Deferral  Percentage  test of section  401(k)(3)(A)  of the Code for a Plan Year
only if it is allocated to the Employee as of a date within that Plan Year.  For
this purpose,  an elective  contribution  is  considered  allocated as of a date
within a Plan Year if the  allocation  is not  contingent  on  participation  or
performance  of  services  after  such  date and the  elective  contribution  is
actually  paid to the Trust no later than twelve (12) months after the Plan Year
to which the contribution relates.

                                       10

     3.11     Correction of Excess Contributions.

(a) Excess  Contributions  shall be corrected as provided in this  section.  The
Administrator may also prevent  anticipated Excess  Contributions as provided in
this section.  The  Administrator may use any method of correction or prevention
provided in this section or any  combination  thereof,  as it  determines in its
sole  discretion.   This  section  shall  be  administered  and  interpreted  in
accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b) The  Administrator  may  refuse to accept  any or all  prospective  Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c) (1) An Adopting  Employer may, in its sole discretion,  elect to contribute,
as provided in section 3.2, a Qualified  Nonelective  Contribution  in an amount
necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section 3.10.

(2) Qualified Nonelective  Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be allocated
to the  Accounts  of  Participants  who are not  Highly  Compensated  Employees.
Qualified Nonelective  Contributions shall be allocated first to the Participant
with the  lowest  Compensation  for that Plan Year and any  remaining  Qualified
Nonelective  Contributions thereafter shall be allocated to the Participant with
the next lowest  Compensation  for that Plan Year. This allocation  method shall
continue in ascending order of Compensation until all such Qualified Nonelective
Contributions are allocated.  The allocation to any Participant shall not exceed
the limits  under  section  415 of the Code.  If two or more  Participants  have
identical Compensation, the allocations to them shall be proportional.

(3) Qualified Nonelective  Contributions for a Plan Year shall be contributed to
the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such Plan Year.

(4) Qualified Nonelective  Contributions shall only be allocated to Participants
who receive  Compensation  during the Plan Year for which such  contribution  is
made.

(d) The Administrator  may, during a Plan Year,  distribute to a Participant (or
such  Participant's  Beneficiary  if the  Participant  is deceased),  any or all
Excess   Contributions  or  Excess  Deferrals  (whether  Elective  Deferrals  or
Qualified Nonelective Contributions) allocable to that Participant's Account for
that Plan  Year,  notwithstanding  any  contrary  provision  of the  Plan.  Such
distribution  may  include  earnings  or losses  (if any)  attributable  to such
amounts, as determined by the Administrator.

                                       11

(e) (1) The Administrator  may distribute any or all Excess  Contributions for a
Plan  Year  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this   subsection.   Such
distribution  may only occur after the close of such Plan Year and within twelve
(12) months of the close of such Plan Year. In the event of the  termination  of
the Plan, such  distribution  shall be made within twelve (12) months after such
termination. Such distribution shall include the income allocable to the amounts
so distributed,  as determined under this subsection. The Administrator may make
any  special  allocations  of  earnings  or  losses  necessary  to carry out the
provisions of this subsection.  A distribution of an Excess  Contribution  under
this  subsection may be made without  regard to any notice or consent  otherwise
required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

(2) (A) The income  allocable  to Excess  Contributions  distributed  under this
subsection  shall  equal the  allocable  gain or loss for the Plan Year.  Income
includes  all  earnings  and  appreciation,  including  such items as  interest,
dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the
value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property,
without regard to whether such appreciation has been realized.

(B) The  allocable  gain or loss for the Plan Year may be  determined  under any
reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator.  Alternatively, the
Administrator may, in its discretion,  determine such allocable gain or loss for
the Plan Year under the method set forth in subparagraph (C).

(C)  Under  this  method,  the  allocable  gain or loss  for  the  Plan  Year is
determined  by  multiplying  the income for the Plan Year  allocable to Elective
Deferrals  (and  amounts  treated as  Elective  Deferrals)  by a  fraction,  the
numerator of which is the Excess  Contributions  by the Participant for the Plan
Year  and  the  denominator  of  which  is  the  total  Account  balance  of the
Participant  attributable to Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective
Deferrals)  as of the  beginning  of the Plan Year,  increased  by any  Elective
Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by the Participant for the
Plan Year.

(3) Amounts  distributed  under this  subsection  (or other  provisions  of this
section)  shall  first  be  treated  as  distributions  from  the  Participant's
subaccounts in the following order:

(A)  from  the   Participant's   Elective   Deferral  Account  (if  such  Excess
Contribution is attributable to Elective Deferrals); and

(B) from the Participant's  Qualified Nonelective  Contribution account (if such
Excess Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective Contributions).

(f) (1) The term "Excess Contributions" shall mean, with respect to a Plan Year,
the  excess of the  Elective  Deferrals  (including  any  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions and Matching  Contributions that are treated as Elective Deferrals
under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code) on behalf of eligible Highly
Compensated  Employees  for the  Plan  Year  over  the  maximum  amount  of such
contributions  permitted under sections 401(k)(2) and 401(k)(3) of the Code. For
this purpose,  the maximum  amount of  contributions  permitted  under  sections
401(k)(2) and  401(k)(3) of the Code shall be determined in accordance  with the
leveling method prescribed in Treas.  Regs.  section  1.401(k)-1(f)(2),  or such
other method as promulgated thereafter.

                                       12

(2) Any distribution or  recharacterization  of Excess  Contributions for a Plan
Year,  as determined  under  subsection  (1) above,  shall be made to the Highly
Compensated  Employees  on the basis of the  amount of  contributions  by, or on
behalf  of,  each  such  Highly  Compensated  Employee  in  accordance  with the
procedure  described herein. The Highly  Compensated  Employees with the highest
amount  of  contributions   shall  have  their   contributions   distributed  or
recharacterized to the extent required to eliminate the Excess Contributions or,
if it  results  in a lower  distribution  or  recharacterization,  to the extent
required to cause such Highly Compensated Employees'  contributions to equal the
amount  of  contributions  of the  Highly  Compensated  Employees  with the next
highest  level of  contributions.  This  procedure  shall be repeated  until the
Excess Contributions are completely distributed or recharacterized.

(3) The amount of Excess  Contributions  to be  distributed  or  recharacterized
shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable year
ending  in the same Plan  Year and  Excess  Deferrals  to be  distributed  for a
taxable year will be reduced by Excess Contributions  previously  distributed or
recharacterized for the Plan beginning in such taxable year.

3.12     Correction of Excess Deferrals.

(a) Excess  Deferrals  shall be  corrected  as  provided  in this  section.  The
Administrator may also prevent  anticipated Excess Deferrals as provided in this
section.  The  Administrator  may use any  method of  correction  or  prevention
provided in this section or any  combination  thereof,  as it  determines in its
sole discretion.  A distribution of an Excess Deferral under this section may be
made  without  regard to any notice or consent  otherwise  required  pursuant to
sections  411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code. This section shall be administered and
interpreted in accordance with sections 401(k) and 402(g) of the Code.

(b) The  Administrator  may  refuse to accept  any or all  prospective  Elective
Deferrals to be contributed by a Participant.

(c) (1) The  Administrator  may  distribute  any or all Excess  Deferrals to the
Participant on whose behalf such Excess  Deferrals were made before the close of
the Applicable Taxable Year.  Distributions under this subsection include income
allocable to the Excess  Distribution so distributed,  as determined  under this
subsection.

(2)  Distribution  under this subsection shall only be made if all the following
conditions are satisfied:

(A) the Participant seeking the distribution designates the distribution as an
Excess Deferral;

(B) the  distribution  is made after the date the Excess Deferral is received by
the Plan; and

(C)  the  Plan  designates  the  distribution  as a  distribution  of an  Excess
Deferral.

(3)  The  income  allocable  to  the  Excess  Deferral  distributed  under  this
subsection  shall be determined in the same manner as under  subsection  (d)(3),
except that income shall only be determined for the period from the beginning of
the Applicable Taxable Year to the date on which the distribution is made.

                                       13

(d) (1) The  Administrator  may  distribute  any or all Excess  Deferrals to the
Participant  on whose behalf such Excess  Deferrals were made after the close of
the Applicable  Taxable Year.  Distribution  under this subsection shall only be
made if the Participant  timely  provides the notice  required under  subsection
(d)(2) and such  distribution  is made  after the  Applicable  Taxable  Year and
before the first April 15 following  the close of the  Applicable  Taxable Year.
Distributions under this subsection shall include income allocable to the Excess
Deferrals so distributed, as determined under this subsection.

(2) Any  Participant  seeking a distribution of an Excess Deferral in accordance
with this subsection must notify the Administrator of such request no later than
the first March 15  following  the close of the  Applicable  Taxable  Year.  The
Administrator  may agree to accept  notification  received  after such date (but
before the first April 15 following the close of the Applicable Taxable Year) if
it determines that it would still be  administratively  practicable to make such
distribution in view of the delayed  notification.  The notification required by
this subsection  shall be deemed made if a Participant's  Elective  Deferrals to
the Plan in any Plan Year create an Excess Deferral.

(3)  The  income  allocable  to  the  Excess  Deferral  distributed  under  this
subsection  shall be determined in the same manner as under section  3.11(f)(2),
except  that the  term  "Excess  Deferrals"  shall be  substituted  for  "Excess
Contributions"  and the term "Applicable  Taxable Year" shall be substituted for
"Plan Year." The Administrator  may make any special  allocations of earnings or
losses necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.

(e) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

(1) Applicable  Taxable Year. The taxable year (for federal income tax purposes)
of the  Participant in which an Excess Deferral must be included in gross income
(when made) in accordance with section 402(g) of the Code.

(2) Excess Deferral. A Participant's Elective Deferrals (and other contributions
limited by section 402(g) of the Code), for an Applicable  Taxable Year that are
in  excess  of the  limits  imposed  by  section  402(g)  of the  Code  for such
Applicable Taxable Year.

3.13     Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a) Excess  Aggregate  Contributions  shall be  corrected  as  provided  in this
section.  The  Administrator  may use any  method of  correction  or  prevention
provided in this section or any  combination  thereof,  as it  determines in its
sole  discretion.   This  section  shall  be  administered  and  interpreted  in
accordance with sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b) The  Administrator  may  refuse to accept  any or all  prospective  Elective
Deferrals to be contributed to a Participant.

(c) (1) The  Company  may,  in its  sole  discretion,  elect to  contribute,  as
provided  in section  3.2, a  Qualified  Nonelective  Contribution  in an amount
necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of section 3.10.

                                       14

(2) Qualified Nonelective  Contributions for a Plan Year shall only be allocated
to the  Accounts  of  Participants  who are not  Highly  Compensated  Employees.
Qualified Nonelective  Contributions shall be allocated first to the Participant
with the  lowest  Compensation  for that Plan Year and any  remaining  Qualified
Nonelective  Contributions thereafter shall be allocated to the Participant with
the next lowest  compensation  for that Plan Year. This allocation  method shall
continue in ascending order of Compensation until all such Qualified Nonelective
Contributions are allocated.  The allocation to any Participant shall not exceed
the limits  under  section  415 of the Code.  If two or more  Participants  have
identical Compensation, the allocations to them shall be proportional.

(3) Qualified Nonelective  Contributions for a Plan Year shall be contributed to
the Trust within twelve (12) months after the close of such Plan Year.

(4) Qualified Nonelective  Contributions shall only be allocated to Participants
who receive  Compensation  during the Plan Year for which such  contribution  is
made.

(d) The Administrator  may, during a Plan Year,  distribute to a Participant (or
such  Participant's  Beneficiary  if the  Participant  is deceased),  any or all
Excess Aggregate  Contributions allocable to that Participant's Account for that
Plan Year, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan. Such distribution
may  include  earnings  or losses  (if any)  attributable  to such  amounts,  as
determined by the Administrator.

(e) (1) The Administrator may forfeit any or all Excess Aggregate  Contributions
for a Plan  Year in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  subsection.  The
amounts so forfeited shall not include any amounts that are nonforfeitable under
ARTICLE V.

(2) Any forfeitures  under this subsection  shall be made in accordance with the
procedures for distributions under subsection (f) except that such amounts shall
be forfeited instead of being distributed.

(f)  (1)  The   Administrator   may  distribute  any  or  all  Excess  Aggregate
Contributions  for a Plan  Year  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this
subsection.  Such  distribution may only occur after the close of such Plan Year
and within twelve (12) months of the close of such Plan Year. Such distributions
shall be  specifically  designated by the  Administrator  as a  distribution  of
Excess Aggregate Contributions.  In the event of the complete termination of the
Plan,  such  distribution  shall be made within  twelve  (12) months  after such
termination. Such distribution shall include the income allocable to the amounts
so distributed,  as determined under this subsection. The Administrator may make
any  special  allocations  of  earnings  or  losses  necessary  to carry out the
provisions  of  this   subsection.   A  distribution  of  an  Excess   Aggregate
Contribution  under this  subsection may be made without regard to any notice or
consent otherwise required pursuant to sections 411(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

                                       15

(2) (A) The income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions distributed under
this subsection shall equal the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year. Income
includes  all  earnings  and  appreciation,  including  such items as  interest,
dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the
value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property,
without regard to whether such appreciation has been realized.

(B) The  allocable  gain or loss for the Plan Year may be  determined  under any
reasonable method consistently applied by the Administrator.  Alternatively, the
Administrator may, in its discretion,  determine such allocable gain or loss for
the Plan Year under the method set forth in subparagraph (C).

(C)  Under  this  method,  the  allocable  gain or loss  for  the  Plan  Year is
determined  by  multiplying  the income for the Plan Year  allocable to employee
contributions,   matching   contributions   and  amounts   treated  as  matching
contributions  by a fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the Excess  Aggregate
Contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of which
is the  total  Account  balance  of the  Participant  attributable  to  employee
contributions,   matching   contributions   and  amounts   treated  as  matching
contributions  as of the  beginning of the Plan Year,  increased by the employee
contributions,   matching   contributions   and  amounts   treated  as  matching
contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year.

(3) Amounts  distributed  under this  subsection  (or other  provisions  of this
section) shall first be treated as distributions from the Participant's  Account
in the following order:

(A) from the Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account (if such
Excess Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Qualified Nonelective
Contributions); and

(B)  from the  Participant's  Matching  Contribution  Account  (if  such  Excess
Aggregate Contribution is attributable to Matching Contributions).

(g) (1) The term "Excess Aggregate  Contributions" shall mean, with respect to a
Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of the matching  contributions and
employee  contributions  (including any Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions or
elective  deferrals  taken into  account in  computing  the Actual  Contribution
Percentage) actually made on behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for
the Plan Year over the  maximum  amount of such  contributions  permitted  under
section  401(m)(2)(A)  of the Code.  For this  purpose,  the  maximum  amount of
contributions  permitted  under  section  401(m)(2)(A)  of  the  Code  shall  be
determined  in  accordance  with  the  leveling  method   described  in  section
3.11(g)(1) of the Plan.

(2) Any  distribution  of Excess  Aggregate  Contributions  for a Plan Year,  as
determined under subsection (1) above,  shall be made to the Highly  Compensated
Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions  by, or on behalf of, each
such Highly  Compensated  Employee in accordance  with the  procedure  described
herein.   The  Highly   Compensated   Employees   with  the  highest  amount  of
contributions shall have their contributions  distributed to the extent required
to eliminate  the Excess  Aggregate  Contributions  or, if it results in a lower
distribution, to the extent required to cause such Highly Compensated Employees'
contributions  to equal the amount of  contributions  of the Highly  Compensated
Employees with the next highest level of contributions.  This procedure shall be
repeated until the Excess Aggregate Contributions are completely distributed.

                                       16

(3) The terms "employee  contributions" and "matching  contributions" shall, for
purposes  of  this  section,   have  the  meanings  set  forth  in  Treas.  Reg.
ss.1.401(m)-1(f).

3.14     Correction of Multiple Use.

(a) If the limitations of Treas.  Reg.  ss.1.401(m)-2  are exceeded for any Plan
Year,  then  correction  shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this
section.  This section shall be administered  and interpreted in accordance with
sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

(b) Any correction required by this section shall be calculated and administered
in accordance  with the  provisions  for  correcting  Excess  Contributions  (in
section 3.11), Excess Aggregate  Contributions (in section 3.13) or both, as the
Administrator determines in its sole discretion. Any correction required by this
section, to the extent possible, shall be made only with respect to those Highly
Compensated  Employees  who are  eligible  in both the  arrangement  subject  to
section  401(k) of the Code and the Plan,  as subject  to section  401(m) of the
Code.


                                   ARTICLE IV
                             Investment of Accounts

         4.1      Election of Investment Funds.

                  (a) Except as otherwise  prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
below, upon enrollment in the Plan, each Participant shall direct that the funds
in the  Participant's  Account be invested in  increments of one percent (1%) in
one or more of the following investment funds:

(1)      Fund A.  An equity fund designated by the Administrator;

(2)      Fund B.  A fixed income fund designated by the Administrator;

(3)      Fund C.  Common Stock fund;

(4)      Fund D.  A stock index fund designated by the Administrator;

(5)      Fund E.  A balanced fund designated by the Administrator;

(6)      Fund F.  A  growth  fund   designated   by  the
                  Administrator, investing primarily in
                  equities of companies of all types and sizes;

(7)      Fund G.  A  growth  fund   designated   by  the
                  Administrator, investing primarily in
                  equities of well-known and established companies;

(8)      Fund H.  General Motors Class H stock fund;

(9)      Fund I.  Raytheon Company Class A stock fund.

                                       17

                  (b)   Amounts   contributed   to  a   Participant's   Matching
Contribution  Account  must be invested in Fund C (Common  Stock fund) until the
end of two  (2)  full  Plan  Years  following  the  Plan  Year  for  which  such
contributions are made.  Thereafter,  a Participant may designate the investment
of the  Matching  Contribution  funds  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of
subsection (a) above.

                  (c) The only  assets  that may be invested in Fund H or Fund I
are the General  Motors  Class H stock and cash  directly  transferred  from the
Hughes Thrift and Savings Plan pursuant to section 3.7(b)(4).  A Participant may
not direct that any other funds in the Participant's Account be invested in Fund
H or Fund I.  Notwithstanding  subsection  (d) below,  the  Administrator  shall
maintain Fund H and Fund I as investment  options under the Plan, subject to the
limitations  prescribed in this subsection (c), for five (5) complete Plan Years
following the Effective Date;  provided,  however,  that if at any time prior to
the expiration of such five (5) year period,  the aggregate fair market value of
the assets  invested in either Fund H or Fund I falls below five percent (5%) of
the  highest  fair  market  value of the  assets  invested  in Fund H or Fund I,
respectively,  the  Administrator  may,  with six (6) months  written  notice to
affected Participants,  eliminate Fund H or Fund I, as applicable, as investment
options under the Plan.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the  Administrator may
eliminate one or both funds at any time if the Administrator  determines in good
faith that such elimination is necessary under applicable law (including without
limitation  the  prudence  requirements  of  ERISA).  When Fund H and Fund I are
eliminated  in accordance  with this section  4.1(c),  Participants  with assets
invested in Fund H or Fund I, as  applicable,  shall direct the transfer of such
assets to other funds  available under the Plan or, if no such election is made,
the  Administrator  shall  transfer  such assets to Fund B or a similar low risk
fixed income fund as determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

                  (d) In its discretion, the Administrator may from time to time
designate  new funds and,  where  appropriate,  preclude  investment in existing
funds and provide for the transfer of Accounts  invested in those funds to other
funds selected by the  Participant or, if no such election is made, to Fund B or
similar low risk fixed income fund as  determined  by the  Administrator  in its
discretion.

                  (e) Except as otherwise  prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
above, a Participant's  investment  election will apply to the entire Account of
the Participant.

                  (f) In  establishing  rules and procedures  under section 4.1,
the following shall apply:

(1) Each Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall affirmatively elect
to self-direct the investment of assets in his or her Account, but such election
may provide for default  investments in the absence of specific  directions from
such Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee.

(2) The investment  directions of a Participant shall continue to apply after
that Participant's death or incompetence until the Beneficiary (or, if there is
more than one Beneficiary for that Account, all of the Beneficiaries), guardian
or other representatives provide contrary direction.

The Administrator may decline to implement investment designations if such
investment, in the Administrator's judgment:

                                       18

               (A) would result in a prohibited transaction under section 4975 
of the Code;

               (B) would  generate  income  taxable  to the Trust Fund;

               (C) would not be in accordance with the Plan and Trust;

               (D) would cause a Fiduciary  to maintain the indicia of ownership
of any assets of the Trust Fund outside the jurisdiction of the district courts
of the United States other than as permitted by section 404(b) of ERISA and
Labor Reg. ss.2550.404(b)-1;

                (E)  would jeopardize the Plan's tax qualified status under
 the Code;

                (F) could result in a loss in excess of the
amount credited to the Account; or

                (G) would violate any other requirements of the Code or ERISA.

(4)  Except as otherwise prescribed in subsections (b) and (c) above, the
Administrator may establish reasonable  restrictions on the frequency with which
investment directions may be given, consistent with section 404(c) of ERISA.

(5)  The Administrator may establish limits on the use of brokers, investment
counsel or other advisors that may be utilized,  including  specifying  that all
investments must be made through a designated broker or brokers.

(6)  The Administrator may establish limits on the types of investments that are
permitted.

                  (g) Except as otherwise  prescribed in subsections (b) and (c)
above,  the  Administrator  shall  establish such rules and procedures as may be
advisable or necessary to carry out the  provisions of this  section,  with such
rules and procedures being consistent with section 404(c) of ERISA.

                  (h)  The   Administrator   shall   establish  such  rules  and
procedures  as may be  advisable  or  necessary  to  reasonably  ensure that all
transactions  involving the investment  funds comply with all  applicable  laws,
including the securities laws.

         4.2 Change in  Investment  Allocation  of Future  Deferrals.  Except as
otherwise  prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each  Participant may elect to
change the  investment  allocation of future  contributions  effective as of the
first  administratively  feasible Business Day subsequent to telephone notice to
the  Recordkeeper.  Any changes must be made either in increments of one percent
(1%) of the Participant's Account or in a specified whole dollar amount and must
result in a total investment of one hundred percent (100%) of the  Participant's
Account.



                                       19

         4.3 Transfer of Account Balances Between  Investment  Funds.  Except as
otherwise  prescribed in sections 4.1(b) and (c), each  Participant may elect to
transfer all or a portion of the amount in his or her Account between investment
funds effective as of the first administratively feasible Business Day following
telephone notice to the Recordkeeper. In determining the amount of the transfer,
the  Participant's  Account  shall be valued as of the close of  business on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received;  provided,  however, that in
any case where the  telephone  notice is received  after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time
(daylight  or  standard,  whichever  is in effect on the date of the call),  the
Account  shall be valued as of the close of business on the next  Business  Day.
Such transfers must be made in either one percent (1%)  increments of the entire
Account or in a specified  amount in whole dollars and, as of the  completion of
the transfer,  must result in investment  of one hundred  percent  (100%) of the
Account. Transfers shall be effected by telephone notice to the Recordkeeper.

         4.4 Ownership Status of Funds. The Trustee shall be the owner of record
of the assets in the funds  specified  as Funds A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I and
such other funds as may be established by the  Administrator.  The Administrator
shall have records  maintained as of the Valuation Date for each fund allocating
a  portion  of the  fund to each  Participant  who has  elected  that his or her
Account be invested in such fund.  The records shall reflect each  Participant's
portion of Funds A, B, D, E, F and G and such other funds as may be  established
by the  Administrator,  in a cash amount and shall  reflect  each  Participant's
portion of Funds C, H and I in cash and unitized shares of stock.

         4.5  Voting   Rights.   Participants   whose   Account  has  shares  of
participation  in  Funds C or I on the last  business  day of the  second  month
preceding  the record date (the  "Voting  Eligibility  Date") for any meeting of
stockholders  have the  right to  instruct  the  Trustee  as to  voting  at such
meeting.  The number of votes is  determined by dividing the value of the shares
in the  Participant's  Account in Funds C and I, as  applicable,  by the closing
price of the respective  classes of stock on the Voting Eligibility Date. If the
Trustee has not received  instructions from a Participant as to voting of shares
within a specified  time,  then the Trustee  shall not vote those  shares.  If a
Participant  furnishes  the Trustee  with a signed vote  direction  card without
indicating a voting choice  thereon,  the Trustee  shall vote the  Participant's
shares as recommended by management.  In addition,  each Participant  shall have


                                       20

the right to accept or reject  any  tender or  exchange  offer for shares of the
respective  classes of stock. The Trustee shall vote (or tender or exchange) all
combined  fractional  shares of the  respective  classes  of stock to the extent
possible in the same proportion as the shares which have been voted (or tendered
or exchanged) by each  Participant.  Any instructions as to voting (or tender or
exchange) received from an individual Participant shall be held in confidence by
the  Trustee  and shall not be  divulged  to the  Adopting  Employers  or to any
officer or employee thereof or to any other person.

         4.6      Allocation of Earnings.

                  (a) (1) The  Administrator,  as of each Valuation Date,  shall
adjust the amounts credited to the Accounts  (including Accounts for persons who
are no longer  Employees) so that the total of such Account  balances equals the
fair market value of the Trust Fund assets as of such Valuation Date.  Except as
otherwise  provided  herein,  any changes in the fair market  value of the Trust
Fund assets since the preceding  Valuation  Date shall be charged or credited to
each  Account  in the ratio  that the  balance  in each such  Account  as of the
preceding  Valuation  Date  bears to the  balances  in all  Accounts  as of that
Valuation  Date with  appropriate  adjustments  to  reflect  any  distributions,
allocations  or  similar  adjustments  to such  Account or  Accounts  since that
Valuation Date.

          (2) To the extent that separate investment funds are established (as
provided in section 4.1), the adjustments required by subsection (a)(1) shall be
made by applying subsection (a)(1) separately for each such investment fund so
that any changes in the net worth of each such investment fund are charged or
credited to the portion of each Account invested in such investment fund in the
ratio that the portion of each such Account invested in such investment fund as
of the preceding Valuation Date (reduced by any distributions made from that
portion of such Account since that Valuation Date) bears to the total amount
credited to such investment funds as of that Valuation Date (reduced by
distributions made from such investment fund since that Valuation Date).

          (3) Interim valuations, in accordance with the foregoing procedure,
may be made at such time or times as the Administrator directs.

                  (b) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion,  direct the
Trustee to segregate and separately  invest any Trust Fund assets. If any assets
are  segregated in this fashion,  the earnings or losses on such assets shall be
determined apart from other Trust assets and shall be adjusted on each Valuation
Date, or at such other times as the Administrator deems necessary, in accordance
with this section.

                                    Vesting

         5.1 Elective Deferral,  Rollover Contribution and Qualified Nonelective
Contribution Accounts. Each Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable right to any
amounts  in the  Participant's  Elective  Deferral,  Rollover  Contribution  and
Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts.

                                       21


         5.2      Matching Contribution Account.

(a) Each Participant  shall have a  Nonforfeitable  right to his or her Matching
Contribution Account upon the earliest of:

(1)   the Participant's completion of a Period of Service of five (5) years;

(2)   the Participant's completion of a Period of Participation of three (3)
years;

(3) the  Participant's  Retirement,  death  while  an  Employee,  Disability  or
attainment of Normal Retirement Age; or

(4) the Participant's Layoff or Severance from Service due to Qualified 
Military Service.

         5.3      Break in Service Rules

                  (a) Periods of Service.  In determining the length of a Period
of Service,  the Administrator shall include all Periods of Service,  except the
following Periods of Service shall not be taken into account:

          (1) in the case of a Participant who has not made Elective Deferrals
to the Plan, the Period of Service before any Period of Severance which equals
or exceeds five (5) consecutive years; and

          (2) in the case of a Participant who has made Elective Deferrals to
the Plan and who has incurred a Period of Severance which equals or exceeds five
(5) years, the Period of Service after such Period of Severance shall not be
taken into account for purposes of determining the nonforfeitable interest of
such Participant in the Matching Contributions allocated to his or her Account
before such Period of Severance.

                  (b)  Periods  of  Severance.  In  determining  the length of a
Period of Service for purposes of section 14.39, the Administrator shall include
any period of time  beginning on an Employee's  Severance  from Service Date and
ending on the date on which he or she is next  credited with an Hour of Service,
provided  that  such  Hour of  Service  is  credited  within  the  twelve (12)
consecutive month period following such Severance from Service Date.

                  (c) Other Periods.  In making the determinations  described in
subsections  (a)  and  (b) of  this  section,  the  second,  third,  and  fourth
consecutive  years of a Layoff (from the first  anniversary of the last day paid
to the fourth  anniversary of the last day paid) and any period in excess of one
(1) year of an Authorized Leave of Absence shall be regarded as neither a Period
of Service nor a Period of Severance.

                                       22


                                   ARTICLE VI
                    Withdrawals and Distribution of Benefits

         6.1 In-Service Withdrawals - Matching Contributions. Upon completion of
a Period of Participation of five (5) years, a Participant may withdraw, subject
to a minimum  withdrawal amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250), all or part
of the Participant's  Matching Contribution  Account.  Withdrawals will be based
upon the value of the Account as determined under section 6.15. Withdrawals from
Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such  other  funds as may be  established  by the
Administrator  will be made in cash;  withdrawals  from Funds C, H and I will be
made in cash or stock  (with  cash  for  fractional  or  uninvested  shares)  as
directed by the  Participant.  Funds for the  withdrawal  will be taken on a pro
rata  basis  against  the   Participant's   investment   fund  balances  in  the
Participant's Matching Contribution Account.

         6.2   In-Service   Withdrawal   --  Elective   Deferral  and  Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Accounts. While an Employee, a Participant may withdraw
all or a  portion  of  his  or  her  Elective  Deferral  Account  and  Qualified
Nonelective  Contribution  Account on or after  attainment of age fifty-nine and
one-half (59 1/2).

         6.3      In-Service Withdrawal -- Hardship.

                  (a) A Participant who has experienced a hardship, as described
in this section,  may withdraw from his or her Elective Deferral Account amounts
attributable to Elective Deferrals  (adjusted for net losses, if any). Whether a
Participant  is entitled to a withdrawal  under this section is to be determined
by  the  Administrator  in  accordance  with   nondiscriminatory  and  objective
standards.  In order to be entitled to a hardship withdrawal under this section,
a  Participant  must  satisfy  the  requirements  of  both  subsection  (b)  and
subsection (c).

                  (b) A  Participant  will  be  deemed  to have  experienced  an
immediate and heavy financial need necessary to satisfy the requirements of this
subsection if the withdrawal is on account of:

(1) medical expenses described in section 213(d) of the Code incurred by the
Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependents of the Participant;

(2) the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal resident of the
Participant;

(3) payment of tuition for the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary
education for the Participant or his or her spouse, children or dependents; or

(4) the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his or her
principal residence or the foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant's
principal residence.

                                       23

                  (c) (1) A  withdrawal  under  this  subsection  will be deemed
necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if
it satisfies the  requirements of this  subsection.  To the extent the amount of
the  withdrawal  would be in  excess  of the  amount  required  to  relieve  the
financial  need of the  Participant  or to the extent such need may be satisfied
from other  resources that are  reasonably  available to the  Participant,  such
withdrawal shall not satisfy the  requirements of this subsection.  For purposes
of this subsection,  a Participant's  resources shall be deemed to include those
assets of his or her spouse or minor children that are  reasonably  available to
the Participant.

                      (2) A withdrawal may be treated as necessary to satisfy a
financial need if the Administrator reasonably relies upon the Participant's
representation that the need cannot be relieved:

(A) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(B) by reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets to the extent such
liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need;

(C) by cessation of Elective Deferrals under the Plan for at least twelve (12)
months after receipt of the hardship withdrawal;

(D) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from
plans maintained by the Adopting Employers or by any other employer or by
borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

                  (d) If a  Participant  receives a  withdrawal  for  reasons of
financial hardship, the Participant's Elective Deferrals shall be reduced to six
percent  (6%) (or such lower  percentage  as the  Participant  shall  thereafter
designate),  if in excess thereof as of the date of the distribution,  and shall
not be increased  during the twelve (12) months  immediately  subsequent  to the
date of distribution.

                  (e)  Withdrawals of less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250)
will not be permitted.

(f) Withdrawals  will be based upon the value of the Account as determined under
section 6.15.

(g)  payment  of the  amount  withdrawn  will be  made  as  soon  as  reasonably
practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.

(h)  Withdrawals  from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may be
established by the Administrator,  will be made in cash.  Withdrawals from Funds
C, H and I will be made in cash or stock (with cash for  fractional  or unissued
shares) as elected by the Participant.

(i) Funds  for the  withdrawal  will be taken on a pro rata  basis  against  the
Participant's  investment fund balances in the  Participant's  Elective Deferral
Account.

                                       24

         6.4  In-Service   Withdrawal  --  Rollover   Contribution   Account.  A
Participant  may withdraw  all or a portion of his or her Rollover  Contribution
Account.  Withdrawals  will be based upon the value of the Account as determined
under  section  6.15.  Payment of the amount  withdrawn  will be made as soon as
reasonably  practicable after the effective date of the withdrawal.  Withdrawals
from Funds A, B, D, E, F and G will be made in cash. Withdrawals from Funds C, H
and I will be made in cash or  stock  (with  cash  for  fractional  or  unissued
shares) as  elected by the  Participant.  Withdrawals  of less than two  hundred
fifty dollars ($250) will not be permitted.

         6.5 Redeposits Prohibited.  No amount withdrawn pursuant to sections 
6.1, 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 may be redeposited in the Plan.

         6.6  Distribution of Benefits.

                  (a) All benefits  payable under this Plan shall be paid in the
manner and at the times specified in this ARTICLE.  Any payments to Participants
or Beneficiaries shall be made in cash (or cash equivalents) except as otherwise
provided  herein.  Distributions  may be made  wholly or  partly  by an  in-kind
distribution  of assets  held by the Trust Fund if the  distributee  consents to
such an  in-kind  distribution  and the  Administrator  determines  that such an
in-kind distribution is not administratively burdensome.

                  (b) All payment  methods and  distributions  shall comply with
the  requirements  of  sections  401(a)(4)  and  401(a)(9)  of the  Code and the
regulations thereunder and, if necessary, shall be interpreted to so comply. The
provisions  of  this  ARTICLE  apply  to all  amounts  credited  to an  Account,
regardless of the source of such amounts.  All  distributions  shall comply with
the incidental  death benefit  requirement of section  401(a)(9)(G) of the Code.
Distributions  shall comply with the regulations  under section 401(a)(9) of the
Code,  including  Treas.  Reg.  ss.1.401(a)(9)-2.  The  provisions  of the  Plan
reflecting section 401(a)(9) of the Code override any distribution provisions in
the Plan inconsistent with section 401(a)(9).

                  (c)  Distribution of the  Participant's  Account (to which the
Participant  has a  Nonforfeitable  right) will be made at the  direction of the
Participant  (or his or her legal  representative  or Beneficiary in the case of
his or her  Disability  or  death)  upon the  Retirement,  Disability,  death or
Severance from Service of the Participant.  In the event the Participant dies or
his or her Severance from Service occurs after his or her Normal Retirement Age,
or if the value of the Nonforfeitable portion of the Participant's Account as of
the Valuation  Date which  coincides  with or  immediately  precedes the date of
distribution is not in excess of three thousand five hundred  dollars  ($3,500),
the Administrator shall cause the distribution to automatically be made.

          (d) Payment will be made in the form of a lump-sum distribution of the
entire amount in the Participant's Account (to which the Participant has a
Nonforfeitable right), which will be paid as soon as practicable following
notification to the Benefits and Services Department, Raytheon Company,
Lexington, Massachusetts, of the Retirement, death, Disability or Severance from
Service and a telephone request by the Participant to the Recordkeeper for the
distribution. Distributions will be based upon the value of the Account as
determined under section 6.15. Distribution of the amounts in said accounts in
the funds designated in Funds A, B, D, E, F and G, and such other funds as may
be established by the Administrator, will be made in cash. Distribution of the
amounts in Funds C, H and I (if any) will be made in either cash or stock, at
the election of the Participant or, in the case of death, the Participant's
Beneficiary. Partial deferrals will not be permitted. If there is no Beneficiary
surviving a deceased Participant at the time payment of his or her Account is to
be made, such payment shall be made in a lump-sum to the person or persons in
the first following class of successive Beneficiaries surviving, any
testamentary devise or bequest to the contrary notwithstanding: the
Participant's (1) spouse, (2) children and issue of deceased children by right
of representation, (3) parents, (4) brothers and sisters and issue of deceased
brothers and sisters by right of representation, or (5) executors or
administrators. If no Beneficiary can be located during a period of seven (7)
years from the date of death, the amount of the distribution shall revert to the
Trust and be treated in the same manner as a forfeiture under section 3.6.

          (e) If the Participant dies before the time when distribution is
considered to have commenced in accordance with applicable regulations, then any
remaining portion of the Participant's interest will be distributed within five
(5) years after the Participant's death. If a distribution is considered to have
commenced in accordance with the applicable regulations before the Participant's
death, the remaining interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Participant's death.

                                       25

                  (f) Except as provided by section 401(a)(9) of the Code as set
forth  in  this  section,  benefits  in the  Plan  will be  distributed  to each
Participant  not later than the sixtieth  (60th) day after the close of the Plan
Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:

(1)  attainment by the Participant of Normal Retirement Age;

(2)  the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which Participant commenced
participation in the Plan; or

(3) Participant's Severance from Service.

                  A  Participant  who has  attained age seventy and one-half (70
1/2) and is  subject  to the  mandatory  distribution  requirements  of  section
401(a)(9) shall receive a lump sum distribution of the Participant's Account (to
which the Participant has a nonforfeitable right) at the time distributions must
commence in order to comply with such  requirements.  If additional  amounts are
allocated to the  Participant's  Account  following such lump sum  distribution,
additional lump sum  distributions  of the  Participant's  Account (to which the
Participant  has a  nonforefeitable  right)  shall  be made at  such  times  any
mandatory  distributions  are  required to comply with section  401(a)(9).  Such
payments shall be made  notwithstanding  any contrary  provisions of the Plan or
election made by such Participant.

         6.8      Commencement of Benefits.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE, distribution
to a Participant (or Beneficiary)  shall commence within a reasonable  period of
time following the Participant's Retirement, Disability, death or Severance from
Service.

                  (b) If the vested amount in the Participant's  Account exceeds
or ever exceeded three thousand five hundred  dollars ($3, 500), then payment to
the  Participant  shall not commence  before such  Participant  has attained age
sixty-five (65), unless the Participant requests an earlier  distribution.  Such
request must be made not more than ninety (90) days before the  commencement  of
the distribution.

         6.9 Payments to Incompetents.  If a Participant or Beneficiary entitled
to receive any benefits  hereunder  is  adjudicated  to be legally  incapable of
giving valid receipt and discharge for such  benefits,  the benefits may be paid
to  the  duly  authorized   personal   representative  of  such  Participant  or
Beneficiary.

         6.11     Direct Rollovers.

                  (a) A  Participant  may  elect  that all or any  portion  of a
distribution that would otherwise be paid as an Eligible  Rollover  Distribution
shall instead be transferred as a Direct Rollover.

                  (b) (1) The Administrator  shall determine and apply rules and
procedures as it deems  reasonable with respect to Direct  Rollovers in addition
to, or in lieu of, those set forth in subsection  (b)(2).  The Administrator may
change such rules and procedures from time to time and shall not be bound by any
previous rules and procedures it has applied.

                      (2) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the 
following rules and procedures shall apply to this section:

plan that permits acceptance of Direct Rollovers or an annuity plan described in
section 403(a) of the Code. In the case of a Direct  Rollover for the benefit of
the spouse or former  spouse of a  Participant,  the term  "Eligible  Retirement

contract) described in section 408(b) of the Code.

      (1) Eligible Rollover Distribution.  Any distribution under the Plan to a

Distributees of Eligible Rollover  Distributions  with a written notice designed
to comply with the requirements of section 402(f) of the Code. Such notice shall
be  provided  within a  reasonable  period of time  before  making  an  Eligible
Rollover Distribution.

                  (b) Any  elections  concerning  the payment of benefits  under
section  6.6  shall  be  made on a form  prescribed  by the  Administrator.  The
Participant  or  other   Distributee  shall  submit  a  completed  form  to  the
Administrator at least thirty (30) days before payment is scheduled to commence,
unless the  Administrator  agrees to a shorter  time period.  Any election  made
under this section shall be revocable  until thirty (30) days before  payment is
scheduled to commence.

                  (c) An  election  to have  payment  made in a Direct  Rollover
shall only be valid if the Participant or other  Distributee  provides  adequate
information to the Administrator for the  implementation of such Direct Rollover
and such  reasonable  verification  as the  Administrator  may require  that the
transferee is an Eligible Retirement Plan.

         6.13     Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

                  (a)  Notwithstanding  any  contrary  provision  of  the  Plan,
payments  shall  be made in  accordance  with  any  judgment,  decree  or  order
determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                                       28

                  (b) (1) If the Plan receives a Domestic  Relations  Order, the
Administrator  shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of
the receipt of such order and of the Plan's  procedures for determining  whether
such order is a Qualified  Domestic  Relations Order. The  Administrator  shall,
within a reasonable period after receipt of such order,  determine whether it is
a  Qualified  Domestic  Relations  Order and  notify  the  Participant  and each
Alternate Payee of that determination.

                     (2) During any period in which the issue of whether a
Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being
determined, the Administrator shall separately account for the amounts that
would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the order
had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                  (c) (1) A Domestic  Relations Order meets the  requirements of
this subsection only if such order clearly specifies the following:

(A) the name and last known mailing address (if any) of the Participant
and the name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by the order;

(B) the amount or the percentage of the Participant's benefits to be paid
by the Plan to each such Alternate Payee or the manner in which such amount or
 percentage is to be determined;

(C) the number of payments or period to which such order applies; and

(D) each plan to which such order applies.

                     (2) A Domestic Relations Order meets the requirements of
this subsection only if such order does not:

(A) require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit or any option
not otherwise provided under the Plan;

(B)  require  the Plan to provide increased benefits (determined on the
basis of actuarial value); and

(C)  does not require the payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee that
are  required  to be  paid  to  another  Alternate  Payee  under  another  order
previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                  (d) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing
to meet the  requirements  of section  6.13(c)(2)(A)  solely  because such order
requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee:

(1) in the case of any payment before a Participant has separated from service,
on or after the date on which the Participant attains (or would have attained)
the Earliest Retirement Date;

(2) as if the Participant had retired on the date on which such payment is to
begin under such order (but taking into account only the present value of the
benefits actually accrued and not taking into account the present value of any
employer subsidy for early retirement); and

                                       29

(3) in any form in which such benefits may be paid under the Plan to the
Participant (other than in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity
with respect to the Alternate Payee and his or her subsequent spouse).

                  (e) A domestic relations order shall not be treated as failing
to meet the  requirements  of section  6.13(c)(2)(A)  solely  because such order
requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee at a date before
the Participant is entitled to receive a distribution.  Such distribution  shall
be made to such Alternate Payee  notwithstanding  any contrary  provision of the
Plan.

                  (f) The following terms shall have the meanings specified:

                      (1) Alternate Payee.  Any spouse, former spouse, child or
other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a Domestic Relations Order
as having a right to benefits under the Plan with respect to such Participant.

                      (2)  Domestic Relations Order. A judgment, decree or order
relating to child support, alimony or marital property rights, as defined in
section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code.

                      (3) Earliest Retirement Date.  The earlier of:

(A)     the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under
the Plan; or

(B) the later of:

             (i)      the date the Participant attains age fifty (50); or

             (ii)     the earliest date on which the Participant could begin
receiving benefits under the Plan if the Participant separated from service.

                      (4) Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  A Domestic
Relations Order that satisfies the requirements of subsection (c) and section
414(p)(1)(A) of the Code.

          (g) If an Alternate Payee entitled to payment under this section is
the spouse or former spouse of a Participant and payment will otherwise be made
in an Eligible Rollover Distribution, then such spouse or former spouse may
elect that all, or any portion, of such payment shall instead be transferred as
a Direct Rollover. Such Direct Rollover shall be governed by the requirements of
section 6.11.

          (h) If a Domestic Relations Order directs that payment be made to an
Alternate Payee before the Participant's Earliest Retirement Date and such
Domestic Relations Order otherwise qualifies as a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, then the Domestic Relations Order shall be treated as a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order and such payment shall be made to the Alternate Payee,
even though the Participant is not entitled to receive a distribution under the
Plan because he or she continues to be an Employee of one of the Adopting
Employers.

                                       30

          (i) This section shall be interpreted and administered in accordance
with section 414(p) of the Code.

         6.14     Lost Beneficiary.

                  (a)  All  Participants  and   Beneficiaries   shall  have  the
obligation to keep the  Administrator  informed of their  current  address until
such time as all benefits due have been paid.

                  (b) If any amount is payable to a Participant  or  Beneficiary
who  cannot be  located  to  receive  such  payment,  such  amount  may,  at the
discretion of the Administrator,  be forfeited;  provided, however, that if such
Participant or Beneficiary subsequently claims the forfeited amount, it shall be
reinstated and paid to such Participant or Beneficiary.  Such reinstatement may,
in the  Administrator's  sole  discretion,  be made from Company  Contributions,
forfeitures or Trust earnings, and shall be treated as a special allocation that
supersedes the normal allocation rules.

                  (c) If the Administrator has not, after due diligence, located
a Participant or  Beneficiary  who is entitled to payment within three (3) years
after the Participant's  Severance from Service,  then, at the discretion of the
Administrator,  such person may be presumed  deceased for purposes of this Plan.
Any such  presumption  of death  shall be final,  conclusive  and binding on all
parties.

         6.15  Determination  of  Amount  of  Withdrawal  or  Distribution.   In
determining  the  amount  of  any  withdrawal  or  distribution  hereunder,  the
Participant's  Account  shall  be  valued  as of the  close of  business  on the
Business Day on which telephone notice is received;  provided,  however, that in
any case where the  telephone  notice is received  after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time
(daylight  or  standard,  whichever  is in effect on the date of the call),  the
Account shall be valued as of the close of business on the next Business Day.

         6.16  Offsets.  Any  transfers  or payments  made from a  Participant's
Account to a person other than the  Participant  pursuant to the  provisions  of
this Plan  shall  reduce  the  Participant's  Account  and  offset  any  amounts
otherwise  due to such  Participant.  Such  transfers  or payments  shall not be
considered a forfeiture for purposes of the Plan.


                                  ARTICLE VII
                                     Loans

         7.1  Availability  of Loans.  Participants  may borrow against all or a
portion of the  balance  in the  Participant's  Elective  Deferral  Account  and
Rollover  Contribution  Account,  and the Matching  Contribution  Account if the
Participant has a Nonforfeitable  right thereto pursuant to section 5.2, subject
to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE.  Participants  who have incurred a
Severance from Service will not be eligible for a Plan loan. The Vice President,
Human Resources, is authorized to administer this loan program.

         7.2  Minimum Amount of Loan.  No loan of less than five hundred dollar
($500) will be permitted.

                                       31

         7.3 Maximum Amount of Loan. No loan in excess of fifty percent (50%) of
the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance will be permitted. In addition,
limits imposed by the Code and any other  requirements of applicable  statute or
regulation will be applied.  Under the current  requirements of the Code, if the
aggregate value of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Account balance exceeds twenty
thousand dollars ($20,000),  the loan cannot exceed the lesser of one-half (1/2)
the  Participant's  Nonforfeitable  Account  balance or fifty  thousand  dollars
($50,000) reduced by the excess of (a) the highest  outstanding balance of loans
from the Plan during the  one-year  period  ending on the day before the date on
which such loan was made over (b) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan
on the date on which such loan was made.

         7.4      Effective Date of Loans.  Loans will be effective as specified
in the Administrator's rules then in effect.

         7.5 Repayment Schedule. The Participant may select a repayment schedule
of one, two, three, four or five (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) years. If the loan is used to
acquire any dwelling which,  within a reasonable time is to be used  (determined
at the time the loan is made) as the principal residence of the Participant, the
repayment period may be extended up to fifteen (15) years at the election of the
Participant.   All  repayments  will  be  made  through  payroll  deductions  in
accordance with the loan agreement executed at the time the loan is made, except
that,  in the  event  of the sale of all or a  portion  of the  business  of the
Employer or one of the Adopting Employers,  or other unusual circumstances,  the
Administrator, through uniform and equitable rules, may establish other means of
repayment.  The loan agreement will permit  repayment of the entire  outstanding
balance in one  lump-sum.  The  minimum  repayment  amount per pay period is ten
dollars  ($10)  for  Participants  paid  weekly  and  fifty  dollars  ($50)  for
Participants   paid   monthly.   The  repayment   schedule   shall  provide  for
substantially  level amortization of the loan. Loan repayments will be suspended
under this Plan as permitted under section 414(u) of the Code.

         7.6  Limit on Number of Loans.  No more than two (2) loans may be
outstanding at any time.

         7.7  Interest  Rate.  The  interest  rate for a loan  pursuant  to this
ARTICLE will be equal to the prime rate  published in The Wall Street Journal on
the first  business day in June and December of each year. The rate published on
the first  business  day in June will apply to loans which are  effective at any
time during the period July 1 through December 31 thereafter; the rate published
on the first business day of December will apply to loans which are effective at
any time during the period January 1 through June 30 thereafter.

                                       34

         7.8 Effect  Upon  Participant's  Elective  Deferral  Account.  Upon the
granting of a loan to a Participant by the Administrator, the allocations in the
Participant's  Account to the respective  investment  funds will be reduced on a
pro rata basis and replaced by the loan balance  which will be  designated as an
asset  in the  Account.  Such  reduction  shall  be  effected  by  reducing  the
Participant's  Accounts in the  following  sequence,  with no  reduction  of the
succeeding  Accounts  until  prior  Accounts  have been  exhausted  by the loan:
Matching   Contribution   Account;   Elective  Deferral  Account;  and  Rollover
Contribution  Account.  Upon  repayment of the principal and interest,  the loan
balance  will be reduced,  the  Participant  Accounts  will be  increased in the
reverse  order in which they were  exhausted by the loan,  and the loan payments
will be allocated to the  respective  investment  funds in  accordance  with the
investment election then in effect.

                                       32

         7.9 Effect of Severance From Service and Nonpayment.  In the event that
a loan remains outstanding upon the Severance from Service of a Participant, the
Participant  will be given the  option of  continuing  to repay the  outstanding
loan.  In any case where  payments on the  outstanding  loan are not made within
ninety (90) days of the Participant's Severance from Service Date, the amount of
any  unpaid  principal  will be  deducted  from the  Participant's  account  and
reported as a  distribution.  If, as a result of Layoff or  Authorized  Leave of
Absence,  a  Participant,  although  still in a Period of Service,  is not being
compensated  through  the  Employer's  payroll  system,  loan  payments  will be
suspended until the earliest of the first pay date after the Participant returns
to active employment with the Employer, the Participant's Severance from Service
Date, or the  expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the  suspension.
In the event the  Participant  does not  return  to active  employment  with the
Employer,  the  Participant  will be given the option of continuing to repay the
outstanding  loan. If the Participant  fails to resume payments on the loan, the
outstanding  loan  will be  reported  as a  taxable  distribution.  In no event,
however,  shall the loan be deducted from the Participant's Account earlier than
the date on which the Participant (i) incurs a Severance from Service,  or, (ii)
attains age fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2).


                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      Contribution and Benefit Limitations

         8.1 Contribution Limits.

             (a)  The  Annual   Additions   that  may  be  allocated  to  a
Participant's Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

               (1)  thirty thousand dollars ($30,000); or

               (2) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's Compensation
for that Limitation Year.

                  (b) If the Employer  maintains any other Defined  Contribution
Plans then the limitations in subsection (a) shall be computed with reference to
the  aggregate  Annual  Additions  for each  Participant  from all such  Defined
Contribution Plans.

                  (c) If the Annual Additions for a Participant would exceed the
limits specified in this section,  then the Annual Additions under this Plan for
that Participant shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent such limits
from being  exceeded.  Such reduction  shall be made in accordance  with section
8.4.

         8.2      Overall Limits.

                  (a) If a  Participant  is  participating  in  both  a  Defined
Contribution  Plan and a Defined  Benefit Plan of the Employer,  then the sum of
the Defined  Contribution  Fraction  and the Defined  Benefit  Fraction  for any
Limitation Year shall not exceed 1.0.

                                       33

                  (b) If the sum of the Defined  Contribution  Fraction  and the
Defined  Benefit  Fraction would exceed 1.0, then the annual  benefits under the
Defined Benefit Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the sum of
such fractions does not exceed 1.0.

         8.3  Annual  Adjustments  to  Limits.  The  dollar  limits  for  Annual
Additions  and the dollar  limits in the Defined  Benefit  Fraction  and Defined
Contribution  Fraction  shall  be  adjusted  for  cost-of-living  to the  extent
permitted under section 415 of the Code.

         8.4      Excess Amounts.

                  (a) The  foregoing  limits  shall be limits on the  allocation
that may be made to a Participant's Account in any Limitation Year. If an excess
Annual  Addition  would   otherwise   result  from  allocation  of  forfeitures,
reasonable errors in determining  Compensation or other comparable reasons, then
the  Administrator  may take any (or all) of the following  steps to prevent the
excess Annual Additions from being allocated:

(1) return any contributions from the Participant, as long as such return is
nondiscriminatory;

(2) hold the excess amounts unallocated in a suspense account and apply the
balance of the suspense account against Matching Contributions for that
Participant made in succeeding years;

balance of the suspense account against succeeding year Matching Contributions;

(4) reallocate the  excess   amounts   to  other Participants.

                  (b) Any suspense account  established under this section shall
not  be  credited  with  income  or  loss  unless  otherwise   directed  by  the
Administrator.  If a suspense  account  under this section is to be applied in a
subsequent  Limitation  Year, then the amounts in the suspense  account shall be
applied before any Annual Additions  (other than  forfeitures) are made for such
Limitation Year.

Limitation Year) if such plans provided an annual benefit equal to the lesser
of:

(A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by ninety thousand dollars ($90,000);
or

(B)     the product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred percent (100%) of the
Participant's average Compensation for the Participant's three (3) consecutive
Years of Service that produce the highest average Compensation.

For purposes of determining the Defined Benefit Fraction of a Participant who
was employed by an Adopting Employer on December 18, 1997 or who transferred to
an Adopting Company from General Motors Corporation or one of its affiliates
after such date and before December 1, 1998, service for and Compensation
received from General Motors Corporation and its affiliates, if any, shall be

For purposes of determining the Defined Contribution Fraction of a Participant,
services performed for, Compensation paid by and Annual Additions made by
General Motors Corporation or any of its affiliates shall not be taken into
account.

      (5)      Defined Contribution Plan.  A plan qualified under section 401(a)
of the Code that provides an individual account for each Participant and
benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the Participant's Account,

rendered  to the  Employer,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  wages,  salary,
commissions,  bonuses,  overtime and other  premium pay as specified in Reg. ss.
1.415-2(d)(2),  but excluding deferred  compensation,  stock options,  and other
distributions  that  receive  special tax  treatment  as  specified  in Reg. ss.
1.415-2(d)(3).  For Plan  Years  beginning  after  1997,  Compensation  for this
purpose will include salary reduction  amounts under section 125 cafeteria plans
and section 401(k),  403(b) and 457 plans.  This definition shall be interpreted

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                Top-Heavy Rules

         9.1 General.  This ARTICLE shall only be applicable if the Plan becomes
a Top-Heavy  Plan under  section 416 of the Code.  If the Plan does not become a
Top-Heavy  Plan, then none of the provisions of this ARTICLE shall be operative.
The  provisions  of this ARTICLE  shall be  interpreted  and applied in a manner
consistent with the  requirements of section 416 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.

         9.2      Vesting.

                  (a) If the Plan  becomes a Top-Heavy  Plan,  then amounts in a
Participant's Account attributable to Matching  Contributions shall be vested in
accordance  with this section,  in lieu of ARTICLE V, to the extent this section
produces  a  greater  degree  of  vesting.  This  section  shall  only  apply to
Participants  who have at least an Hour of  Service  after  the Plan  becomes  a
Top-Heavy Plan.

                  (b)  If  applicable,   amounts  in  a  Participant's   Account
attributable to Matching Contributions shall vest as follows:

               Years of
         Top Heavy Service          Vested Percentage

         Fewer than 3                        0%
         3 or more                         100%

                                       37


                  (c) If the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan then  subsection
(b) shall no longer be applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall the
vested percentage of any Participant be reduced by reason of the Plan ceasing to
be a Top-Heavy Plan. Subsection (b) shall nevertheless continue to apply for any
Participant  who was  previously  covered  by it and who has at least  three (3)
Years of Top-Heavy Service.

         9.3      Minimum Contribution.

                  (a) For each Plan Year that the Plan is a Top-Heavy  Plan, the
Adopting  Employers  shall make a contribution  to be allocated  directly to the
Account of each Non-Key Employee.

                  (b) The amount of the contribution (and forfeitures)  required
to be contributed and allocated for a Plan Year by this section is three percent
(3%) of the Top-Heavy  Compensation  for that Plan Year of each Non-Key Employee
who is both a  Participant  and an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year for
which the  contribution is made,  with  adjustments as provided  herein.  If the
contribution  allocated  to the Accounts of each Key Employee for a Plan Year is
less than three  percent  (3%) of his or her  Top-Heavy  Compensation,  then the
contribution  required by the preceding  sentence shall be reduced for that Plan
Year to the same percentage of Top-Heavy  Compensation that was allocated to the
Account of the Key Employee  whose Account  received the greatest  allocation of
contributions  for that Plan Year,  when  computed as a percentage  of Top-Heavy
Compensation.

                  (c) The contribution required by this section shall be reduced
for a Plan Year to the extent of any Company  Contributions  made and  allocated
under this Plan or any other  contributions from the Adopting Employers made and
allocated under this or any other Aggregated Plans.  Elective Deferrals shall be
treated as if they were Company  Contributions  for purposes of determining  any
minimum contributions required under subsection (b).

         9.4  Definitions.

              (a)  The following terms shall have the meanings specified herein:

                   (1) Aggregated Plans.

(A) The Plan, any plan that is part of a "required aggregation group" and any
plan that is part of a "permissive aggregation group" that the Adopting
Employers treat as an Aggregated Plan.

(B) The "required aggregation group" consists of each plan of the Adopting
Employers in which a Key Employee participates (in the Plan Year containing the
Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years) and each other
plan of the Adopting Employers which enables any plan of the Adopting Employers
in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of section
401(a)(4) or section 410(b) of the Code. Also included in the required
aggregation group shall be any terminated plan that covered a Key Employee and
was maintained within the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date.

                                       39

(C) The "permissive aggregation group" consists of any plan not included in the
"required aggregation group" if the Aggregated Plan described in subparagraph
(A) above would continue to meet the requirements of section 401(a)(4) and 410
of the Code with such additional plan being taken into account.

        (2)  Determination Date.  The last day of the preceding Plan Year, or, 
in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day of such plan year.
The computations made on the Determination Date shall utilize information from
the immediately preceding Valuation Date.

         (3)      Key Employee.

(A)     An Employee (or former Employee) who, at any time during the Plan
Year  containing  the  Determination  Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan
Years, is:

          (i)      An officer of one of the Adopting Employers with annual
Top-Heavy Compensation for the Plan Year greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
amount in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in
which that Plan Year ends;

         (ii)     one of the ten (10) Employees owning (or considered as
owning  under  section  318 of the  Code)  the  largest  interest  in one of the
Adopting Employers,  who has more than one-half of one percent (.5%) interest in
such Adopting Employer,  and who has annual Top-Heavy  Compensation for the Plan
Year at least equal to the maximum dollar limitation under section  415(c)(1)(A)
of the Code for the calendar year in which that Plan Year ends;

         (iii)    a five percent (5%) or greater shareholder in one of the
Adopting Employers; or

        (iv)     a one percent (1%) shareholder in one of the Adopting
Employers with annual Top-Heavy  Compensation from the Adopting Employer of more
than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).

         (B) For purposes of  paragraphs  (3)(A)(iii)
and (3)(A)(iv), the rules of
section  414(b),  (c) and (m) of the Code shall not apply.  Beneficiaries  of an
Employee  shall acquire the  character of such  Employee and inherited  benefits
will  retain  the  character  of the  benefits  of the  Employee  who  performed
services.

              (4)   Non-Key Employee.  Any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

              (5)   Super Top-Heavy Plan.  A Top-Heavy Plan in which the sum of
the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits and accounts for Key
Employees exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the comparable sum determined for all
Employees. The foregoing determination shall be made in the same manner as the
determination of a Top-Heavy Plan under this section.

              (6)  Top-Heavy Compensation. The term Top-Heavy Compensation shal
have the same meaning as the term Compensation has under section 8.5(b).

              (7) Top-Heavy Plan.  The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year
if, as of the Determination Date for that Plan Year, the sum of (i) the present
value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all Defined
Benefit Plans that are Aggregated Plans and (ii) the aggregate of the accounts
of Key Employees under all Defined Contribution Plans that are Aggregated Plans
exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the comparable sum determined for all Employees.

                                       40

              (8)  Years of Top-Heavy Service.  The number of Years of Service
with the Adopting Employers that might be counted under section 411(a) of the
Code, disregarding all service that may be disregarded under section 411(a)(4)
of the Code.

                  (b) The definitions in this section and the provisions of this
ARTICLE  shall be  interpreted  in a manner  consistent  with section 416 of the
Code.

         9.5      Special Rules.

                  (a) For  purposes  of  determining  the  present  value of the
cumulative  accrued  benefit for any Participant or the amount of the Account of
any  Participant,  such  present  value  or  amount  shall be  increased  by the
aggregate  distributions  made with respect to such  Participant  under the Plan
during  the Plan  Year that  includes  the  Determination  Date and the four (4)
preceding Plan Years (if such amounts would otherwise have been omitted).

                  (b) (1) In the case of unrelated rollovers and transfers,  (i)
the plan making the  distribution or transfer is to count the  distribution as a
distribution  under section  416(g)(3) of the Code,  and (ii) the plan accepting
the  rollover or transfer is not to consider the rollover or transfer as part of
the accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was accepted after December 31,
1983,  but is to consider it as part of the accrued  benefit if such rollover or
transfer was accepted  before January 1, 1984.  For this purpose,  rollovers and
transfers  are to be  considered  unrelated  if they are both  initiated  by the
Employee and made from a plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by
another employer.

      (2)   In the case of related rollovers and transfers, the plan making the
distribution  or transfer  is not to count the  distribution  or transfer  under
section  416(g)(3) of the Code,  and the plan accepting the rollover or transfer
counts the  rollover or transfer in the present  value of the accrued  benefits.
For this purpose,  rollovers and transfers are to be considered  related if they
are not unrelated under subsection (b)(1).

                  (c) If any  individual  is a Non-Key  Employee with respect to
any plan for any Plan Year, but such  individual was a Key Employee with respect
to such plan for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefit for such Employee (and
the account of such Employee) shall not be taken into account.

                  (d)  Beneficiaries  of Key  Employees and former Key Employees
are considered to be Key Employees and  Beneficiaries  of Non-Key  Employees and
former Non-Key Employees are considered to be Non-Key Employees.

                  (e) The accrued  benefit of an Employee who has not  performed
any service for the Adopting  Employer  maintaining  the Plan at any time during
the five (5) year period ending on the  Determination  Date is excluded from the
calculation  to determine  top-heaviness.  However,  if an Employee  performs no
services,  such Employee's  total accrued benefit is included in the calculation
for top-heaviness.

                                       41

         9.6      Adjustment of Limitations.

                  (a) If this section is applicable,  then the  contribution and
benefit  limitations in section 8.5 shall be reduced.  Such  reduction  shall be
made by modifying  section  8.5(a)(2)(A)  of the  definition of Defined  Benefit
Fraction to instead be "(i) the  product of 1.0  multiplied  by ninety  thousand
dollars ($90,000),  or" and by modifying section  8.5(a)(4)(A) of the definition
of  Defined  Contribution  Fraction  to  instead  be  "(i)  the  product  of 1.0
multiplied by thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), or".

                  (b) This  section  shall be  applicable  for any Plan  Year in
which either:

                           (1)      the Plan is a Super Top-Heavy Plan, or

                           (2) the  Plan  both is a  Top-Heavy  Plan  (but not a
Super Top-Heavy Plan) and
provides  contributions (and forfeitures) to the Account of any Non-Key Employee
in an  amount  less  than  four  percent  (4%) of such  Participant's  Top-Heavy
Compensation, as determined in accordance with section 9.3(b).

responsible  only for the duties  allocated or delegated to said Fiduciary,  and
other Fiduciaries shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility
with respect to any act or omission of any other Fiduciary unless:

                  (a)  The  Fiduciary  knowingly  participates  in or  knowingly
attempts to conceal the act or omission of such other  Fiduciary  and knows that
such act or omission  constitutes  a breach of fiduciary  responsibility  by the

responsibility by the other Fiduciary and has not made reasonable  efforts under
the circumstances to remedy the breach; or

                  (c)  The  Fiduciary's  own  breach  of  his  or  her  specific
fiduciary  responsibilities has enabled another Fiduciary to commit a breach. No
Fiduciary  shall be liable for any acts or omissions which occur prior to his or
her  assumption of Fiduciary  status or after his or her  termination  from such
status.

         11.4  Employment by  Fiduciaries.  Any Fiduciary  hereunder may employ,
with the written  approval of the  Administrator,  one or more persons to render

Administrator,  such personal  information,  affidavits  and  authorizations  to
obtain  information as the  Administrator  may deem  appropriate  for the proper
administration of the Plan, including but not limited to proof of the Employee's
date of birth and the date of birth of any person designated by a Participant as

         11.6     Claims Review Procedure.

(a) The  Administrator  shall  make all  determinations  as to the  right of any
person to Accounts under the Plan. Any such  determination by the  Administrator
shall be made pursuant to the following procedure:

                    (1)  Step 1.  Claims with respect to an Account should be
filed by a claimant as soon as practicable after the claimant knows or should
know that a dispute has arisen with respect to an Account, but at least thirty

                                       44

                           (3) Step 3. Within sixty (60) days following receipt
of the denial of a claim with respect to an Account, a claimant desiring to have
the denial appealed shall file a request for review with the Administrator by
mailing a copy thereof to the address shown in subsection (a)(1).

                           (4) Step 4. Within thirty (30) days following receip

opportunity to present his or her position. At the Administrator's discretion,
such presentation may be through an oral or written presentation. Prior to such
presentation, the claimant shall be permitted the opportunity to review
pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing. Within a
reasonable time following presentation of the claimant's position, which usually
should not exceed thirty (30) days, the Administrator shall inform the claimant
in writing of the decision on review setting forth the reasons for such decision
and citing pertinent provisions in the Plan.

                  (b) The Administrator is the Fiduciary to whom the Plan grants
full discretion, with the advice of counsel, to interpret the Plan; to determine
whether a claimant  is eligible  for  benefits;  to decide the amount,  form and
timing of  benefits;  and to resolve  any other  matter  under the Plan which is
raised by a claimant or identified by the  Administrator.  All questions arising
from or in connection  with the  provisions of the Plan and its  administration,
not  herein  provided  to be  determined  by the  Board of  Directors,  shall be
determined  by the  Administrator,  and  any  determination  so  made  shall  be
conclusive and binding upon all persons affected thereby.

         11.7 Indemnification of Directors and Employees. The Adopting Employers
shall  indemnify  by insurance or  otherwise  any  Fiduciary  who is a director,
officer or Employee of the Employer, his or her heirs and legal representatives,
against all liability and reasonable  expense,  including counsel fees,  amounts
paid in  settlement  and amounts of judgments,  fines or penalties,  incurred or
imposed  upon him in  connection  with any claim,  action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative,  by reason of acts or
omissions in his or her capacity as a Fiduciary  hereunder,  provided  that such
act or omission is not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Adopting  Employers  may  indemnify  other  Fiduciaries,  their  heirs and legal
representatives,  under the  circumstances,  and subject to the  limitations set
forth in the preceding  sentence,  if such  indemnification is determined by the
Board of Directors to be in the best interests of the Adopting Employers.

         11.8 Immunity from Liability.  Except to the extent that section 410(a)
of ERISA  prohibits the granting of immunity to  Fiduciaries  from liability for
any responsibility,  obligation, or duty imposed under Title I, Subtitle B, Part
4, of said Act, an officer,  Employee,  member of the Board of  Directors of the
Employer or other person assigned responsibility under this Plan shall be immune
from any  liability  for any  action or failure  to act  except  such  action or
failure to act which results from said officer's,  Employee's,  Participant's or
other person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                  ARTICLE XII
                        Amendment Or Termination Of Plan

         12.1 Right to Amend or Terminate Plan.  Each of the Adopting  Employers
reserves the right at any time or times, by action of its board of directors, to
modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part as to its Employees,  in
which  event a  certified  copy of the  resolution  of the  board of  directors,
authorizing such  modification,  amendment or termination  shall be delivered to
the Trustee and to the other Adopting  Employers  whose Employees are covered by
this Plan, provided,  however, that no amendment to the Plan shall be made which
shall:

(a) reduce any vested right or interest to which any Participant or Beneficiary
is then entitled under this Plan or otherwise reduce the vested rights of a
Participant in violation of section 411(d)(6) of the Code;

(b) vest in the Adopting Employers any interest or control over any assets of
the Trust;

(c) cause any assets of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other
than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries; or

(d)  change  any of the  rights,  duties or powers of the  Trustee  without  its
written consent.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section or any other
provisions of this Plan, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be made
retroactively if necessary or appropriate to conform the Plan with, or to
satisfy the conditions of, ERISA, the Code, or any other law, governmental
regulation or ruling. Any termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the Board of Directors. In the alternative,
subject to the conditions prescribed in subsections 12.1(a) through (e), the
Plan may be amended by an officer of the Company authorized by the Board of
Directors to amend the Plan, provided, however, that any such amendment does
not, in the view of such officer, materially increase costs of the Plan to the
Company or any Adopting Employer.

          12.2 Amendment to Vesting Schedule.  Any amendment that modifies the 
vesting provisions of ARTICLE IV shall either:

(a) provide for a rate of vesting that is at least as rapid for any Participant 
as the vesting schedule previously in effect; or

(b) provide that any adversely affected  Participant with a Period of Service of
at least  three (3) years may elect,  in  writing,  to remain  under the vesting
schedule in effect prior to the  amendment.  Such  election  must be made within
sixty (60) days after the later of the:

(1)      adoption of the amendment;

(2)      effective date of the amendment; or

(3)      issuance by the Company of written notice of the amendment.

                                       46

         12.3 Maintenance of Plan. The Company has established the Plan with the
bona  fide  intention  and  expectation  that  it  will  be  able  to  make  its
contributions  indefinitely,  but the  Company is not and shall not be under any
obligation or liability  whatsoever to continue its contributions or to maintain
the Plan for any given length of time.

         12.4  Termination of Plan and Trust.  The Plan and Trust hereby created
shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

                  (a)  Delivery  to  the  Trustee  of a  notice  of  termination
executed by the Company specifying the date as of which the Plan and Trust shall
terminate; or

                  (b)  Adjudication  of  the  Company  as  bankrupt  or  general
assignment by the Company to or for the benefit of creditors or  dissolution  of
the Company.

12.5     Distribution on Termination.

(a) (1) If the Plan is terminated, or contributions permanently discontinued, an
Adopting  Employer,  at its discretion,  may (at that time or at any later time)
direct the  Trustee to  distribute  the  amounts in a  Participant's  Account in
accordance  with the  distribution  provisions  of the Plan.  Such  distribution
shall,  notwithstanding  any prior  provisions  of the Plan, be made in a single
lump-sum   without  the   Participant's   consent  as  to  the  timing  of  such
distribution.  If,  however,  an Adopting  Employer (or an Affiliate)  maintains
another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan),
then the preceding  sentence shall not apply and the Adopting  Employer,  at its
discretion,  may direct such  distributions  to be made as a direct  transfer to
such other plan without the Participant's  consent,  if the Participant does not
consent to an immediate distribution.

(2) If an Adopting  Employer does not direct  distribution  under paragraph (1),
each  Participant's  Account shall be maintained until distributed in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan  (determined  without regard to this section) as
though the Plan had not been terminated or contributions discontinued.

(b) If the Administrator determines that it is administratively impracticable to
make  distributions  under  this  section  in cash or  that it  would  be in the
Participant's  best  interest  to  make  some or all of the  distributions  with
in-kind property, it shall offer all Participants and Beneficiaries  entitled to
a distribution under this section a reasonable opportunity to elect to receive a
distribution  of the in-kind  property  being  distributed  by the Trust.  Those
Participants and  Beneficiaries so electing shall receive a proportionate  share
of such in-kind property in the form (outright, in trust or in partnership) that
the   Administrator   determines  will  provide  the  most  feasible  method  of
distribution.

(c)  (1)  Amounts   attributable  to  elective   contributions   shall  only  be
distributable by reason of this section if one of the following is applicable:

(A)      the Plan is terminated without the establishment of a successor plan;

(B) an  Adopting  Employer  has a sale  or  other  disposition  to an  unrelated
corporation of substantially  all of the assets used by the Adopting Employer in
a trade or business of the  Adopting  Employer  with  respect to an Employee who
continues employment with the corporation acquiring such assets; or

                                       47

(C) an Adopting  Employer has a sale or other disposition to an unrelated entity
of the Adopting  Employer's interest in a subsidiary with respect to an Employee
who continues employment with such subsidiary.

(2) For  purposes  of this  section,  the term  "elective  contributions"  means
employer  contributions made to the Plan that were subject to a cash or deferred
election under a cash or deferred arrangement.

(3)  Elective contributions are distributable under subsections (c)(1)(B) and 
(C) above only if the Adopting Employers continue to maintain the Plan after the
disposition.


                                  ARTICLE XIII
                             Additional Provisions

         13.1 Effect of Merger,  Consolidation or Transfer.  In the event of any
merger or  consolidation  with or transfer of assets or liabilities to any other
plan or to this  Plan,  each  Participant  of the Plan  shall be  entitled  to a
benefit immediately after the merger,  consolidation or transfer, which is equal
to or greater  than the  benefit he or she would have been  entitled  to receive
immediately  before the merger,  consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had been
terminated).

         13.2 Necessity of Initial Qualification.  This Plan is established with
the intent that it shall qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code as
those  sections  exist  at the time the  Plan is  established.  If the  Internal
Revenue  Service  determines  that  the  Plan  initially  fails  to  meet  those
requirements, then within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination,
all of the assets of the Trust Fund held for the  benefit  of  Participants  and
their Beneficiaries shall be distributed equitably among the contributors to the
Plan in proportion to their  contributions,  and the Plan shall be considered to
be rescinded and of no force or effect,  unless such  inadequacy is removed by a
retroactive amendment pursuant to the Code. Any nonvested Matching Contributions
and earnings attributable thereto shall be returned to the Adopting Employers.

         13.3     No Assignment.

(a) Except as provided  herein,  the right of any  Participant or Beneficiary to
any  benefit or to any  payment  hereunder  shall not be subject to  alienation,
assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind.

(b) Subsection  (a) shall not apply to any payment or transfer  permitted by the
Internal Revenue Service pursuant to regulations issued under section 401(a)(13)
of the Code.

(c)  Subsection  (a) shall not apply to any  payment or  transfer  pursuant to a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

(d)  Subsection  (a) shall not apply to any  payment or transfer to the Trust in
accordance with section  401(a)(13)(C) of the Code to satisfy the  Participant's
liabilities  to  the  Plan  or  Trust  in  any  one or  more  of  the  following
circumstances:

                                       48

(1) the Participant is convicted of a crime involving the Plan;

(2) a civil  judgment  (or  consent  order or  decree)  in an action is  brought
against the Participant in connection with an ERISA fiduciary violation; or

(3) the  Participant  enters into a settlement  agreement with the Department of
Labor or the  Pension  Benefit  Guaranty  Corporation  over an  ERISA  fiduciary
violation.

         13.4  Limitation  of  Rights of  Employees.  This  Plan is  strictly  a
voluntary  undertaking  on the part of the Adopting  Employers  and shall not be
deemed to  constitute a contract  between any of the Adopting  Employers and any
Employee,  or to be a consideration  for, or an inducement to, or a condition of
the employment of any Employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to
give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of any of the Adopting
Employers or shall interfere with the right of any of the Adopting  Employers to
discharge or otherwise  terminate the  employment of any Employee of an Adopting
Employer  at any  time.  No  Employee  shall be  entitled  to any right or claim
hereunder except to the extent such right is specifically  fixed under the terms
of the Plan.

         13.5 Construction. The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and
construed  in  accordance  with the  requirements  of the Code  and  ERISA.  Any
amendment or restatement of the Plan or Trust that would  otherwise  violate the
requirements  of section  411(d)(6) of the Code or  otherwise  cause the Plan or
Trust to cease to be qualified  under section 401(a) of the Code shall be deemed
to be invalid. Capitalized terms shall have meanings as defined herein. Singular
nouns shall be read as plural,  masculine pronouns shall be read as feminine and
vice versa, as  appropriate.  References to "section" or "ARTICLE" shall be read
as  references  to  appropriate   provisions  of  this  Plan,  unless  otherwise
indicated.

         13.6 Company Determinations.  Any determinations,  actions or decisions
of the  Company  (including  but  not  limited  to,  Plan  amendments  and  Plan
termination)  shall be made by its Board of  Directors  in  accordance  with its
established  procedures or by such other  individuals,  groups or  organizations
that  have  been  properly  delegated  by the  Board of  Directors  to make such
determination or decision.

         13.7  Governing  Law.  This Plan shall be governed  by,  construed  and
administered  in  accordance  with ERISA and any other  applicable  federal law;
provided,  however,  that to the extent not  preempted by federal law, this Plan
shall  be  governed  by,  construed  and  administered  under  the  laws  of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, other than its laws respecting choice of law.


                                  ARTICLE XIV

         14.2 Administrator. The person, persons, corporation,  committee, group
or organization  designated to be the  Administrator  of the Plan and to perform
the duties of the  Administrator.  Until and unless  otherwise  designated,  the
Administrator shall be the Company.

         14.3  Adopting  Employers.  Any  corporation  that  elects  through  an
authorized  officer to  participate  in the Plan on  account  of its  Employees,
provided that  participation  in the Plan by such corporation is approved by the
Board of Directors,  or an officer to whom authority to approve participation by
a corporation is delegated by the Board of Directors,  but shall not include any
division,  operation  or  similar  cohesive  group of the  adopting  corporation
excluded by the Board of Directors.  The Adopting  Employers  shall be listed in
Exhibit A attached to this Plan.

         14.4  Affiliate.  A trade or business  that,  together with an Adopting
Employer,  is a member of (i) a  controlled  group of  corporations  within  the
meaning  of  section  414(b) of the Code;  (ii) a group of trades or  businesses
(whether or not incorporated)  under common control as defined in section 414(c)
of the Code, or (iii) an affiliated  service group as defined in section  414(m)
of the Code, or which is an entity otherwise  required to be aggregated with the
Adopting  Employer  pursuant  to section  414(o) of the Code.  For  purposes  of
ARTICLE VIII, the  determination of controlled groups of corporations and trades
or businesses  under common  control shall be made after taking into account the
modification  required  under  section  415(h) of the Code.  All such  entities,
whether or not incorporated, shall be treated as a single employer to the extent
required by the Code.

         14.5 Authorized  Leave of Absence.  An absence approved by the Adopting
Employers on a uniform and  nondiscriminatory  basis not  exceeding one (1) year
for any of the  following  reasons:  illness of an Employee  or a relative,  the
death of a relative,  education of the Employee,  or personal or family business
of an extraordinary  nature,  provided in each case that the Employee returns to
the service of the Adopting  Employers  within the time period  specified by the
Adopting Employers.

         14.6 Beneficiary.  The person or persons  (including a trust or trusts)
who are entitled to receive benefits from a deceased Participant's Account after
such Participant's death (whether or not such person or persons are expressly so
designated  by  the  Participant).   If  a  married  Participant   designates  a
Beneficiary other than his or her spouse, said designation shall not take effect
unless the spouse  consents  in writing  to such  designation  and said  spousal
consent  acknowledges  the  effect of said  designation  and is  witnessed  by a
representative  of the Plan or a notary  public.  Said spousal  consent shall be
effective only with respect to the spouse  granting such consent,  and shall not
be required if the Participant  can establish that there is no spouse,  that the
spouse cannot be located, or that other conditions exist as may be prescribed by
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury.  If there is no Beneficiary
designated  by the  Participant  or surviving  at the death of the  Participant,
payment of his or her Account  shall be made in  accordance  with  section  6.6.
Subject to the foregoing,  a Participant  may designate a new Beneficiary at any
time by filing  with the  Administrator  a written  request for such change on a
form prescribed by the  Administrator.  Such change shall become  effective only
upon  receipt  of the form by the  Administrator,  but upon such  receipt of the
change  shall  relate  back to and take  effect  as of the date the  Participant
signed such  request,  whether or not the  Participant  is living at the time of
such receipt, provided,  however, that neither the Trustee nor the Administrator
shall be liable  by reason of any  payment  of the  Participant's  Account  made
before receipt of such form. If a Beneficiary entitled to payment was the spouse
or former spouse of the deceased  Participant and payment will otherwise be made
in an Eligible  Rollover  Distribution,  then such  spouse or former  spouse may
elect that all, or any portion of, such payment shall instead be  transferred as
a Direct Rollover. Such Direct Rollover shall be governed by the requirements of
section 6.11.

         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-8 under
                  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          I am Assistant General Counsel to Raytheon Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and as such, I, and other attorneys in this office,
have participated with the Company in the preparation for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") covering [1,000,000] shares
(the "Shares") of the Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
as well as an indeterminate amount of related interests (the "Interests") in the
Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan, Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan for
Specified Hourly Payroll Employees, Raytheon Employee Savings and Investment
Plan, Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan for Specified Puerto Rico Employees,
E-Systems Employee Savings Plan, Raytheon TI Systems Savings Plan, Raytheon
Salaried Savings and Investment Plan, Raytheon California Hourly Savings and
Investment Plan, Raytheon Tucson Bargaining Savings and Investment Plan,
Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan (10014) (collectively, the "Plans"), which
Shares and Interests may hereafter be acquired by participants ("Participants")
in the Plans. In connection with filing the Registration Statement, the rules
and regulations of the Commission require my opinion, in my capacity as
Assistant General Counsel of the Company, on the matters set forth below.

          In rendering this opinion, I, and other attorneys in this office, have
examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise, of all
such corporate records, documents, agreements or other instruments of the
Company, and have made such investigation of law and have discussed with the
officers of the Company such questions of fact as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate. In rendering this opinion, I have relied upon certificates and
statements of officers and directors of the Company as to factual matters, and
have assumed the genuiness of all documents submitted as copies.

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the
Shares will be, upon the issuance thereof pursuant to the terms of the
respective Plans, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

          I am also of the opinion that the respective Plans confer valid
Interests upon Participants, to the extent and upon the terms and conditions
described in such Plans.

          I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                           Very truly yours,

          This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal
Revenue Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or
local statutes.

          This determination is subject to your adoption of the proposed
amendments submitted in your letter dated December 30, 1994. The proposed
amendments should be adopted on or before the date prescribed by the regulations

of demonstrating that the plan satisfies the minimum coverage requirements of
section 410(b) of the Code.

status of your employee retirement plan, and provides information on the
reporting requirements for your plan. It also describes some events that
automatically nullify it. It is very important that you read the publication.

          This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal
Revenue Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or
local statutes.

          This determination is subject to your adoption of the proposed

          This plan satisfies the nondiscrimination in amount requirement of

group consists of those employees treated as currently benefiting for purposes

Dear Applicant:

          We have made a favorable determination on your plan, identified above,
based on the information supplied. Please keep this letter in your permanent

          Continued qualification of the plan under its present form will depend

          This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal
Revenue Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or

          This determination letter is applicable for the amendment(s) adopted

to, or with, another plan, or to whether requirements of the income tax
regulations under Code section 414(1) have been met. This is only a
determination as to the qualification of the plan.

          This plan has been mandatorily disaggregated, permissively aggregated,
or restructured to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements.

          This plan satisfies the minimum coverage requirements on the basis of
the average benefit test in section 410(b)(2) of the Code.

                                       2

          This plan satisfies the nondiscrimination in amount requirement of

safe harbor described in the regulations.

          This letter is issued under Rev. Proc. 93-39 and considers the
amendments required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 except as otherwise specified
in this letter.

          Except as otherwise specified this letter may not be relied upon with
respect to whether the plan satisfies the qualification requirements as amended
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, Pub. L. 103-465 and by the Small Business
Job Protection Act of 1996 (SBJPA), Pub. L. 104-106, other than the requirements
of Code section 401(a)(25).

          The information on the enclosed addendum is an integral part of this
determination. Please be sure to read and keep it with this letter.
