The separation and distribution agreement identifies the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the contracts transferred to each of Carrier, Otis and the Company as part of the Separation, and provides for when and how these transfers and assumptions occurred.

assets expressly allocated to Company or the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the separation and distribution agreement or the other agreements entered into in connection with the Separation;
     
 
intellectual property rights and technology used or held for use in the Company’s Pratt & Whitney operating segment prior to the Separation, which supplies aircraft engines and aftermarket services for the commercial, military, business jet and general aviation markets, and its Collins Aerospace Systems segment prior to the Separation, which provides technologically advanced aerospace products and aftermarket service solutions for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, regional, business and general aviation markets, military, space and undersea operations (the “Company Business”);

liabilities arising out of litigation or other claims (including in respect of environmental or asbestos-related matters) made by third parties, including directors, officers, stockholders, employees and agents of Carrier, Otis or the Company, or any investigations, sanctions or orders, to the extent the facts underlying the applicable matter relate to, arise out of or result from the Company Business, the Company Assets or the other Company Liabilities; and
     
 
other liabilities expressly allocated to the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the separation and distribution agreement or certain other agreements entered into in connection with the Separation.
     
Except as expressly set forth in the separation and distribution agreement or any ancillary agreement, none of Carrier, Otis or the Company makes any representation or warranty as to the assets, business or liabilities transferred or assumed as part of the Separation, as to any consents or approvals required in connection with the transfers, as to the value of or the freedom from any security interests of any of the assets transferred, as to the absence or presence of any defenses or right of setoff or freedom from counterclaim with respect to any claim or other asset of any of Carrier, Otis or the Company, or as to the legal sufficiency of any document or instrument delivered to convey title to any asset to be transferred in connection with the Separation. All assets were transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis, and the respective transferees bear the economic and legal risks that any conveyance will prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of all security interests, that any necessary consents or governmental approvals or notifications are not obtained or made, or that any requirements of laws or judgments are not complied with.

The separation and distribution agreement provides that in the event that the transfer of certain assets and liabilities (or a portion thereof) to Carrier, Otis or the Company, as applicable, did not occur prior to the Separation, then until such assets or liabilities (or a portion thereof) are able to be transferred, Carrier, Otis or the Company, as applicable, will hold such assets on behalf and for the benefit of the transferee and will pay, perform and discharge such liabilities, for which the transferee will reimburse Carrier, Otis or the Company, as applicable, for all commercially reasonable payments made in connection with the performance and discharge of such liabilities.

The Distributions

The separation and distribution agreement also governs the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the Distributions following the completion of the Separation.

The separation and distribution agreement provides that Carrier and its affiliates released and discharged the Company, Otis and their respective affiliates and certain other non-recourse parties from all Carrier Liabilities, all liabilities arising from or in connection with the activities to implement the Separation and the Distributions, and all liabilities arising from or in connection with all actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing before April 3, 2020 to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Carrier Business, the Carrier Assets or the Carrier Liabilities, in each case except as expressly set forth in the separation and distribution agreement.

These releases do not extend to obligations or liabilities under any agreements among the parties that remain in effect following the Separation, which agreements include the separation and distribution agreement, the transition services agreement, the tax matters agreement, the employee matters agreement and the intellectual property agreement, or to any obligations or liabilities for the sale, lease, construction or receipt of goods, property or services in the ordinary course of business prior to April 3, 2020.

Indemnification with respect to taxes, and the procedures related thereto, is governed by the tax matters agreement.

Insurance

The separation and distribution agreement provides for the allocation among the parties of rights and obligations under existing insurance policies. In general, no party has rights under the other parties’ insurance policies, except to make occurrence-based claims in respect of losses incurred prior to specified coverage transition dates under the other parties’ third-party occurrence-based policies to the extent such policies provided coverage for the Company, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, prior to such coverage transition dates. The party accessing the insurance policies is generally responsible for deductibles, retention amounts, and other fees and expenses to the extent arising out of its accessing such policies. The separation and distribution agreement also provides that each of Carrier and Otis has rights to access certain third-party insurance or reinsurance policies held by Company captive insurance entities.

Further Assurances

In addition to the actions specifically provided for in the separation and distribution agreement, except as otherwise set forth therein or in any ancillary agreement, Carrier, Otis and the Company agreed in the separation and distribution agreement to use reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after April 3, 2020, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement and the ancillary agreements.

Dispute Resolution

The separation and distribution agreement contains provisions that govern, except as otherwise provided in any ancillary agreement, the resolution of disputes, controversies or claims that may arise among Carrier, Otis and the Company related to the Separation or the Distributions. These provisions contemplate that efforts will be made to resolve disputes, controversies and claims through a transition committee, then by escalation of the matter to executives of the parties in dispute. If such efforts are not successful, one of the parties in dispute may submit the dispute, controversy or claim to nonbinding mediation or, if such nonbinding mediation is not successful, binding arbitration, subject to the provisions of the separation and distribution agreement.

Expenses

Except as expressly set forth in the separation and distribution agreement or in any ancillary agreement, the party incurring the expense will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation incurred prior to April 3, 2020, including costs and expenses relating to legal and tax counsel, financial advisors and accounting advisory work related to the Separation. Except as expressly set forth in the separation and distribution agreement or in any ancillary agreement, or as otherwise agreed in writing by Carrier, Otis and the Company, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation after the Distributions will also be paid by the party incurring such cost and expense.

Other Matters

Other matters governed by the separation and distribution agreement include approvals and notifications of transfer, termination of intercompany agreements, shared contracts, financial information certifications, transition committee provisions, confidentiality, access to and provision of records, privacy and data protection, production of witnesses, privileged matters, and financing arrangements. The separation and distribution agreement does not provide for any of Carrier, Otis or the Company to be subject to restrictions on competition.

Amendment

The separation and distribution agreement may not be amended or terminated, except by an agreement in writing signed by Carrier, Otis and the Company.

Transition Services Agreement

Carrier, Otis and the Company entered into a transition services agreement in connection with the Separation pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries provide to Carrier and Otis and their respective subsidiaries, and Carrier and Otis and their respective subsidiaries provide to the Company and its subsidiaries, on an interim, transitional basis, various services, as applicable, including, but not limited to information technology services, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, legal, payroll, finance, tax and accounting, general administrative services and other support services. The agreed-upon charges for such services are generally intended to allow the servicing party to charge a price comprised of costs and expenses, including reasonably allocable overhead expenses. The party receiving each transition service will be provided with reasonable information that supports the charges for the transition services being provided.

The services commenced on April 3, 2020 and will generally terminate no later than 12 months (or in certain cases, 18 months) following such date. The receiving party may terminate any services by giving prior written notice to the provider of such services and paying any applicable wind-down charges.

Subject to certain exceptions, the liabilities of each party under the transition services agreement in respect of such party’s provision of services is generally limited to the aggregate charges actually paid or payable to such party by the recipient of such services pursuant to the transition services agreement. The transition services agreement also provides that the provider of a service will not be liable to the recipient of such service for any indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of another party.

Tax Matters Agreement

In connection with the Separation, Carrier, Otis and the Company entered into a tax matters agreement that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes (including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax contests, and other tax matters).

Under the tax matters agreement, the Company generally is responsible for all U.S. federal income taxes imposed on the Company consolidated tax return group and state and foreign income, franchise, capital gain, withholding and similar taxes imposed on a consolidated, combined or unitary group (or similar tax group under non-U.S. law) that includes the Company or one of its subsidiaries with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) that end on or prior to April 3, 2020, except (1) special rules apply with respect to certain taxes imposed in connection with the Separation and the Distributions, (2) Carrier and Otis are each responsible for a specified portion of any installment payment required to be paid after April 3, 2020 by the Company pursuant to Section 965(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (3) Carrier and Otis are each responsible for specified taxes that exclusively relate to the Carrier Business or the Otis Business, as applicable and (4) Carrier and Otis are each responsible for taxes resulting from any breach of certain representations or covenants made by Carrier or Otis, as applicable, in the tax matters agreement or other separation-related agreements. Carrier and Otis generally are ach responsible for all federal, state, or foreign income, franchise, capital gain, withholding or similar taxes imposed on a separate return basis on Carrier (or any of its subsidiaries or any subgroup consisting solely of Carrier and its subsidiaries) or Otis (or any of its subsidiaries or any subgroup consisting solely of Otis and its subsidiaries), as applicable, with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) that end on or prior to April 3, 2020, except (a) special rules apply with respect to certain taxes imposed in connection with the Separation and the Distributions and (b) the Company is responsible for taxes resulting from any breach of any covenant made by the Company in the tax matters agreement or other separation-related agreements.

The tax matters agreement provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities in the event either (1) the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code or (2) any internal separation transaction that is intended to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free fails to so qualify. Under the tax matters agreement, each party generally is responsible for any taxes and related amounts imposed on the Company, Carrier or Otis as a result of the failure to so qualify, to the extent that the failure to so qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions relating to such party’s respective stock, assets or business, or a breach of the relevant covenants made by that party in the tax matters agreement. Further, under the tax matters agreement, each of the Company. Carrier and Otis are responsible for a specified portion of any taxes (and any related costs and other damages) (a) arising as a result of the failure of either of the Distributions and certain related transactions to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free (including as a result of Section 355(e) of the Code) or a failure of any internal separation transaction that is intended to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free to so qualify, in each case, to the extent such amounts did not result from a disqualifying action by, or acquisition of equity securities of, Carrier, Otis or the Company or (b) arising from an adjustment, pursuant to an audit or other tax proceeding, with respect to any separation transaction that is not intended to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free.

In addition, the tax matters agreement imposes certain restrictions on Carrier, Otis and their respective subsidiaries during the two-year period following the Distributions that is intended to prevent either of the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, from failing to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. Specifically, during such period, except in specific circumstances, Carrier, Otis and their respective subsidiaries are generally prohibited from (1) ceasing to conduct certain businesses, (2) entering into certain transactions or series of transactions pursuant to which all or a portion of the shares of Carrier common stock or Otis common stock would be acquired or all or a portion of certain assets of Carrier, Otis and their respective subsidiaries would be acquired, (3) liquidating or merging or consolidating with any other person, (4) issuing equity securities beyond certain thresholds, (5) repurchasing Carrier stock or Otis common stock other than in certain open-market transactions or (6) taking or failing to take any other action that would cause the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, to fail to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code or for other applicable non-U.S. income tax purposes. Further, the tax matters agreement imposes similar restrictions on Carrier, Otis and their respective subsidiaries during the two-year period following the Distributions that are intended to prevent certain transactions undertaken as part of the internal reorganization from failing to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code or for applicable non-U.S. income tax purposes.

Employee Matters Agreement

Carrier, Otis and the Company entered into an employee matters agreement in connection with the Separation to allocate liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation and benefits plans and programs, and other related matters. The employee matters agreement governs certain compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the current and former employees and non-employee directors of each company.

The employee matters agreement provides that, unless otherwise specified, each party is responsible for liabilities associated with current and former employees of such party and its current and former subsidiaries.

The employee matters agreement also governs the terms of equity-based awards granted by the Company prior to the Separation.

The employee matters agreement restricts each of Carrier, Otis and the Company from soliciting certain employees of either of the other parties for a period of 18 months following the Distributions, subject to customary exceptions.

Intellectual Property Agreement

Carrier, Otis and the Company entered into an intellectual property agreement in connection with the Separation under which each party, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, as of the effective time of the Distributions, owns or has the right to use certain intellectual property rights relevant to the Carrier Business, the Otis Business or the UTC Aerospace Businesses, respectively. The intellectual property agreement provides that intellectual property rights that arose from certain services performed by one of the Carrier Business, the Otis Business and the UTC Aerospace Businesses (the “performer”) at the request of one of the other two businesses (the “requester”) generally are assigned to the requester or the performer in accordance with prior intercompany practice. Additionally, the intellectual property agreement provides that each of the Carrier Business, the Otis Business and the UTC Aerospace Businesses (the “licensor”) will grant to the other two businesses (each, a “licensee”) a license to intellectual property rights of the licensor that, prior to April 3, 2020, were used in connection with, necessary for the ongoing conduct of or subject to a documented plan for future use by, the licensee. The licenses are royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, and, in the field of the licensee’s business, worldwide. The licenses include the licensee’s right to sublicense, subject to certain customary limitations, and customary confidentiality requirements apply.

In addition, Carrier, Otis and the Company agreed that ownership of certain trademarks used by more than one of Carrier, Otis and the Company is allocated to one of Carrier, Otis and the Company and licensed to one or both of the other parties to the extent they use such trademarks.

    The foregoing descriptions of these agreements set forth under this Item 1.01 are not complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Completion of the Separation and the Distributions

On April 3, 2020, the Company completed the previously announced separation of its business into three independent, publicly traded companies – the Company, Carrier and Otis (the “Separation”). The Separation was effected by the distributions (the “Distributions”) of all of the outstanding shares of Carrier common stock and all of the outstanding shares of Otis common stock to the Company’s shareowners who held shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020 (the “Record Date”). The Company’s shareowners of record as of the Record Date received one share of Carrier common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock held as of the Record Date and one-half share of Otis common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock held as of the Record Date. The Company did not issue fractional shares of Carrier common stock or Otis common stock in the Distributions. Instead, each shareowner otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of Carrier common stock and/or a fractional share of Otis common stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The Company distributed approximately 866,158,910 shares of common stock of Carrier and approximately 433,079,455 shares of common stock of Otis in the Distributions. As a result of the Distributions, Carrier is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “CARR” on the New York Stock Exchange and Otis is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “OTIS” also on the New York Stock Exchange.

Completion of the Merger

On April 3, 2020, following the completion of the Distributions and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 9, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), dated as of March 9, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Light Merger Sub Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Raytheon Company, a Delaware corporation (“Raytheon”), Merger Sub merged with and into Raytheon (the “Merger”), with Raytheon surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), the Company changed its name to Raytheon Technologies Corporation and its ticker symbol to “RTX” and continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.


On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Raytheon common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Raytheon Common Stock”), (other than shares held by Raytheon as treasury stock) was converted into the right to receive 2.3348 (the “Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Company Common Stock”), plus, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock.

As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding award of unvested restricted shares of Raytheon Common Stock (each, a “Raytheon Restricted Stock Award”) was automatically, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, treated as follows: (1) if such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award became vested at the Merger Effective Time pursuant to its terms, such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Raytheon Common Stock subject to such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio (with a cash payment in respect of any fractional shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement), less applicable tax withholding; or (2) if such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award did not become vested at the Merger Effective Time pursuant to its terms, such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award was converted into an award of unvested restricted shares of Company Common Stock with the same terms and conditions that applied to such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, relating to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (a) the number of shares of Raytheon Common Stock subject to such Raytheon Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio.

As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding award of time-based vesting restricted stock units relating to Raytheon Common Stock (each, a “Raytheon RSU Award”) was automatically, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, treated as follows: (1) if such Raytheon RSU Award became vested at the Merger Effective Time pursuant to its terms, such Raytheon RSU Award was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Raytheon Common Stock subject to such Raytheon RSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio (plus a cash payment in respect of any fractional shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement), less applicable tax withholding; or (2) if such Raytheon RSU Award did not become vested at the Merger Effective Time pursuant to its terms, such Raytheon RSU Award was converted into an award of Company restricted stock units with the same terms and conditions that applied to such Raytheon RSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, relating to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (a) the number of shares of Raytheon Common Stock subject to such Raytheon RSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio.

As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding award of performance-based vesting restricted stock units relating to Raytheon Common Stock (each, a “Raytheon PSU Award”) was automatically, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, converted into an award of Company restricted stock units with the same terms and conditions (other than performance-based vesting conditions) that applied to such Raytheon PSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, relating to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (1) the number of shares of Raytheon Common Stock subject to such Raytheon PSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (with such number of shares determined by deeming the applicable performance conditions to be achieved at (a) if the Merger Effective Time occurred within the first calendar year of the relevant performance cycle, target level of performance and (b) if the Merger Effective Time occurred on or after completion of the first calendar year of the relevant performance cycle, (i) with respect to the relative total shareholder return performance metric, actual performance through the last business day preceding April 3, 2020 and (ii) with respect to the return on invested capital and cumulative free cash flow performance metrics, actual performance for all completed calendar years in the relevant performance cycle and assumed performance at target for each remaining calendar year of the performance cycle (with determinations of actual performance made by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of Raytheon’s Board of Directors after consultation with the Company)) and (2) the Exchange Ratio.

The total aggregate consideration payable in the Merger was approximately 649 million shares of Company Common Stock, excluding shares of Company Common Stock issued in respect of Raytheon Restricted Stock Awards as described above.

The above-described issuance of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-232696) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on September 9, 2019. The joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated September 10, 2019, included in the registration statement (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) contains additional information about the above-described transactions.

The foregoing description of the Merger is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, (i) the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and (ii) the Merger Agreement and the Amendment, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and Exhibit 2.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

WHEREAS, each of Carrier and Otis has been incorporated solely for these purposes and has not engaged in activities, except those incidental to the Separation and the Distributions;
 
WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that (a) the contribution by UTC of the Carrier Assets to Carrier in exchange for (i) the assumption by Carrier of the Carrier Liabilities, (ii) the actual or deemed issuance by Carrier to UTC of additional Carrier Shares and (iii) the Carrier Cash Transfer (the “Carrier Contribution”) and the Carrier Distribution, taken together, shall qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free pursuant to Sections 355(a) and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code and (b) the contribution by UTC of the Otis Assets to Otis in exchange for (i) the assumption by Otis of the Otis Liabilities, (ii) the actual or deemed issuance by Otis to UTC of additional Otis Shares and (iii) the Otis Cash Transfer (the “Otis Contribution”) and the Otis Distribution, taken together, shall qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free pursuant to Sections 355(a) and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code;
 
WHEREAS, the IRS has issued to UTC a private letter ruling regarding certain U.S. federal income tax matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “IRS Ruling”);
 

WHEREAS, UTC expects to receive (a) an opinion of outside legal counsel regarding the qualification of certain elements of the Carrier Distribution under Section 355 of the Code and (b) an opinion of outside legal counsel regarding the qualification of certain elements of the Otis Distribution under Section 355 of the Code;
 
WHEREAS, Carrier and UTC have prepared, and Carrier has filed with the SEC, the Carrier Form 10, which includes the Carrier Information Statement and which sets forth disclosure concerning Carrier, the Carrier Separation and the Carrier Distribution;
 
WHEREAS, Otis and UTC have prepared, and Otis has filed with the SEC, the Otis Form 10, which includes the Otis Information Statement and which sets forth disclosures concerning Otis, the Otis Separation and the Otis Distribution; and
 
WHEREAS, each of UTC, Carrier and Otis has determined that it is appropriate and desirable to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Separation and the Distributions and certain other agreements that will govern certain matters relating to the Separation and the Distributions and the relationship of UTC, Carrier and Otis and the members of their respective Groups following the Distributions.

2.4          Approvals, Notifications and Delays.
 
(a)          Approvals and Notifications.  To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Asset, the assumption of any Liability, the Separation, or the Distributions require any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between UTC, Carrier and Otis, none of UTC, Carrier or Otis shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation or agreeing to amended contract terms) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.
 
(b)          Delayed Transfers.  If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to a Party’s Group of any Asset or assumption by a Party’s Group of any Liability in connection with the Separation or the Distributions would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made by the applicable Effective Time then, unless the applicable Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the applicable Group of such Assets or the assumption by the applicable Group of such Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approval or Notification has been obtained or made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Assets or Liabilities shall continue to constitute Assets of the applicable Party to which such Assets were to be transferred or assigned, or Liabilities of the applicable Party by which such Liabilities were to be assumed, respectively, for all other purposes of this Agreement.
 
(c)          Treatment of Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities.  If any transfer or assignment of any Asset (or a portion thereof) or any assumption of any Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the applicable Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason (any such Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Asset” and any such Liability (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the Person retaining such Delayed Asset or such Delayed Liability (the “Holding Member”), as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability, as the case may be, on behalf of the Person entitled to the benefits of such Delayed Asset or obligated to discharge such Delayed Liability, as applicable (the “Receiving Member”) (at the expense of the Receiving Member).  In addition, the Holding Member shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Receiving Member in order to place the Receiving Member in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to the Receiving Member’s Group.
 
-29-

(d)          Transfer of Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities.  If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(b), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments to the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.
 
(e)          Costs for Delayed Assets and Delayed Liabilities.  No Holding Member shall be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by the Receiving Member or another member of the Receiving Member’s Group, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Receiving Member or another member of the Receiving Member’s Group entitled to the benefits of such Delayed Asset or obligated to discharge such Delayed Liability, as applicable.
 
2.5          Novation of Liabilities.
 
(a)          Except as set forth in Schedule 2.5(a) and in Section 5.1 of the Intellectual Property Agreement, each of UTC, Carrier and Otis, at the request of any other Party, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all UTC Liabilities, Carrier Liabilities or Otis Liabilities, as applicable, and obtain in writing the unconditional release of each member of each other Party’s Group that is a party to any such arrangements, so that, in any such case, the members of the Carrier Group shall be solely responsible for such Carrier Liabilities, the members of the Otis Group shall be solely responsible for such Otis Liabilities, and the members of the UTC Group shall be solely responsible for such UTC Liabilities; provided, that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, none of UTC, Carrier or Otis shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation or agreeing to amended contract terms) to any Third Party from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.
 
(b)          If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and a member of any Group (the “Bound Member”) continues to be bound by any such arrangement or responsible for any such Liability with respect to which such Bound Member would not be bound or responsible had such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release been obtained (each, an “Unreleased Liability”), the Party to whose Group such Liability is allocated under this Agreement (the “Designated Party”) shall, to the extent not prohibited by Law, as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for the Bound Member, as the case may be, (i) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of the Bound Member that constitute Unreleased Liabilities from and after the Effective Time and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance or discharge prior to the time any demand for such payment, performance or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any
 
-30-

member of the Bound Member’s Group.  If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Bound Member shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and the Designated Party or the applicable member of its Group shall assume, such Unreleased Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.
 
(c)          Without limiting the Parties’ rights and obligations pursuant to Article IV:
 
(i)          if Carrier or Otis, or any member of their respective Groups, is a named defendant in a Third-Party Claim that does not arise out of any UTC Liabilities but to which UTC or a member of its Group is a named defendant, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall promptly use, or cause the applicable member of its Group to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the dismissal of UTC or any applicable members of the UTC Group as defendants to such Third-Party Claim;
 
(ii)         if UTC or Carrier, or any member of their respective Groups, is a named defendant in a Third-Party Claim that does not arise out of any Otis Liabilities but to which Otis or a member of its Group is a named defendant, UTC or Carrier, as applicable, shall promptly use, or cause the applicable member of its Group to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the dismissal of Otis or any applicable members of the Otis Group as defendants to such Third-Party Claim; and
 
(iii)        if UTC or Otis, or any member of their respective Groups, is a named defendant in a Third-Party Claim that does not arise out of any Carrier Liabilities but to which Carrier or a member of its Group is a named defendant, UTC or Otis, as applicable, shall promptly use, or cause the applicable member of its Group to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the dismissal of Carrier or any applicable members of the Carrier Group as defendants to such Third-Party Claim.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party or member of its Group shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) that would reasonably be expected to be detrimental in any material respect to such Person’s litigation strategy or defense of the applicable Third-Party Claim or any related Third-Party Claim.
 
2.6          Release of Guarantees.  In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the obligations set forth in Section 2.5:
 
(a)          On or prior to the applicable Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, each of UTC, Carrier and Otis, as applicable, shall, at the request of any other Party that serves (or a member of whose Group serves) as a guarantor of or obligor for any of such first Party’s (or a member of such first Party’s Group’s) Liabilities, including through any Security Interest on or in any of such other Party’s (or a member of such other Party’s Group’s) Assets that serve as collateral or security for any of such first Party’s (or a member of such first Party’s Group’s) Liabilities, and with the reasonable cooperation of such other Party and the applicable member(s) of such other Party’s Group, use commercially reasonable efforts to, as applicable:  (i) have any member(s) of the UTC Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Carrier or Otis Liability to the extent that such guarantee or obligation relates to Carrier or Otis Liabilities,
 
-31-

including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any UTC Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such Carrier or Otis Liability; (ii) have any member(s) of the Carrier Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any UTC or Otis Liability to the extent that such guarantee or obligation relates to UTC or Otis Liabilities, including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Carrier Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such UTC or Otis Liability; and (iii) have any member(s) of the Otis Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any UTC or Carrier Liability to the extent that such guarantee or obligation relates to UTC or Carrier Liabilities, including the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Otis Asset that may serve as collateral or security for any such UTC or Carrier Liability.
 
(b)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent required to obtain a release from a guarantee of any member of another Party’s Group, UTC, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guarantee agreement, which agreement shall include the removal of any Security Interest on or in any Asset of such other Party that may serve as collateral or security for any UTC Liability, Carrier Liability or Otis Liability, as applicable, except to the extent that such existing guarantee contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions, either (i) with which UTC, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, would be reasonably unable to comply or (ii) which UTC, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, would not reasonably be able to avoid breaching.
 
(c)          If UTC, Carrier or Otis is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal or release as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.6, (i) the Party or the relevant member of its Group that has assumed the Liability that such guarantee relates to shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor against or from any Liability arising from or relating thereto in accordance with the provisions of Article IV and shall, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder; and (ii) each of UTC, Carrier and Otis, on behalf of itself and the other members of its Group, agrees not to renew or extend the term of, increase any obligations under, or transfer to a Third Party, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which the guarantor or obligor or a member of its Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of such guarantor or obligor and the members of such guarantor or obligor’s Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation satisfactory in form and substance to such guarantor or obligor.
 
2.7          Termination of Agreements.
 
(a)          Except as set forth in Section 2.7(b), in furtherance of the releases and other provisions of Section 4.1, each of UTC, Carrier and Otis and each member of their respective Groups hereby terminate any and all agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether or not in writing, between or among a Party and/or any member of such Party’s Group, on the one hand, and another Party and/or any member of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, effective as of the applicable Effective Time.  No such terminated agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision thereof that purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Effective Time.  Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(d)          Any Carrier Shares or Otis Shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to Carrier Shares or Otis Shares that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred eighty (180) days after the applicable Distribution Date shall be delivered to Carrier or Otis, respectively, and each of Carrier and Otis, or its transfer agent on its behalf, shall hold such Carrier Shares or Otis Shares, as applicable, and cash for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such Carrier Shares or Otis Shares, as applicable, and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of Carrier and Otis, respectively, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and UTC shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

-43-

Carrier and Otis will regard the Persons entitled to receive such Carrier Shares or Otis Shares, as applicable, as record holders of Carrier Shares or Otis Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Distributions without requiring any action on the part of such Persons.  Each of Carrier and Otis agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the applicable Effective Time, (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends, if any, payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the Carrier Shares or Otis Shares, as applicable, then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership (as determined by Carrier or Otis, as applicable, or their respective transfer agent) of the Carrier Shares or Otis Shares, as applicable, then held by such holder.

(e)          any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to (i) all Information contained in the Otis Form 10, the Otis Information Statement or any other Otis Disclosure Document, other than the matters described in Section 4.2(e)(ii)(y) or Section 4.4(e); and (ii) any Information in respect of Otis, any member of the Otis Group, the Otis Separation, the Otis Distribution, the Otis Business, the Otis Assets or the Otis Liabilities in (x) any UTC Disclosure Document filed or initially distributed or initially made available prior to the Otis Distribution Date or that includes Information in respect of a quarterly or annual fiscal period of UTC that begins on or prior to the Otis Distribution Date or (y) the Carrier Form 10, the Carrier Information Statement or any other Carrier Disclosure Document.
 
-48-

4.4          Indemnification by UTC.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, UTC shall, and shall cause the other members of the UTC Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless (x) the Carrier Indemnitees and (y) the Otis Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities of the Carrier Indemnitees and the Otis Indemnitees, respectively, relating to, arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, any of the following items (without duplication):
 
(a)          any UTC Liability;
 
(b)          any failure of UTC, any other member of the UTC Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any UTC Liabilities in accordance with their terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time;
 
(c)          any breach by UTC or any other member of the UTC Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;
 
(d)          except to the extent it relates to a Carrier Liability or Otis Liability, any guarantee, indemnification or contribution obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the UTC Group by any member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group that survives following the Effective Time; and
 
(e)          any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to statements (i) made explicitly in UTC’s name in the Carrier Form 10 or the Otis Form 10, the Carrier Information Statement or the Otis Information Statement, or any other Carrier Disclosure Document or Otis Disclosure Document; it being agreed that the statements set forth on Schedule 4.4(e) shall be the only statements made explicitly in UTC’s name in the Form 10s, the Information Statements or any other Carrier Disclosure Document or Otis Disclosure Document, and all other Information contained in the Form 10s, the Information Statements or any other Carrier Disclosure Document or Otis Disclosure Document shall be deemed to be Information supplied by Carrier or Otis, as applicable, or (ii) made in any UTC Disclosure Document, other than the matters described in Section 4.2(e)(ii)(x) or Section 4.3(e)(ii)(x).
 
4.5          Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.
 
(a)          The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in either case actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability.  Accordingly, the amount that any Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in either case actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related
 
-49-

Liability.  If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of such Liability, then within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
 
(b)          The Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof. Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
 
4.6          Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.
 
(a)          Notice of Claims.  If, at or following the Effective Time, an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the UTC Group, the Carrier Group or the Otis Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty-one (21) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim.  Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification and include copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide timely notice in accordance with this Section 4.6(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.6(a).
 
-50-

(b)          Control of Defense.  An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided, that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnitee in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee are true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true in all material respects and (ii) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnitee written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, and (C) the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.6(a) (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnitee indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim.  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.6(a), then the Indemnitee that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
 
(c)          Allocation of Defense Costs.  If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnitee for any such fees or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense.  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.6(a), and the Indemnitee conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable, documented fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
 
(d)          Right to Monitor and Participate.  An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that does not elect or is not entitled to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the
 
-51-

provisions of Section 4.6(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, Information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party.  In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as reasonably necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, and in such case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the applicable Indemnitee.
 
(e)          No Settlement.  None of the Parties may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which any Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties who are Indemnifying Parties or are or are seeking to be Indemnitees, as applicable, in respect of such Third-Party Claim, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages that are fully payable by the settling or compromising Party; does not involve any admission, finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by any such other Party; and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of any such other Party from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim.  The Parties hereby agree that if a Party delivers to another Party a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which such receiving Party is an Indemnifying Party or is or is seeking to be an Indemnitee in respect of such Third-Party Claim, and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within twenty (20) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.
 
(f)          Tax Matters Agreement Coordination.  The provisions of Sections 4.6 through 4.10 (other than this Section 4.6(f)) shall not apply with respect to Taxes and Tax matters (it being understood and agreed that Taxes and Tax matters, including the control of Tax-related proceedings, shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement).
 
4.7          Additional Matters.
 
(a)          Timing of Payments.  Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities.  The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and
 
-52-

effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
 
(b)          Notice of Direct Claims.  Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party.  Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.7(b) or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII, be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.
 
(c)          Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties.  If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against another Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to another Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then such other Party, or Parties, as applicable, shall use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.
 
(d)          Subrogation.  In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person.  Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.
 
(e)          Substitution.  In the event of an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant.  If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.6 and this Section 4.7.
 
4.8          Right of Contribution.
 
-53-

(a)          Contribution.  If any right of indemnification contained in Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees as a result of such Liability (or Actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the members of its Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
 
(b)          Allocation of Relative Fault.  Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 4.8:  (i) any fault associated with (A) the business conducted with the Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities of Carrier or Otis (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of (1) a member of the UTC Group or (2) (x) in the case of the business conducted with the Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities of Carrier, a member of the Otis Group, or (y) in the case of the business conducted with the Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities of Otis, a member of the Carrier Group) or (B) the ownership, operation or activities of the Carrier Business or Otis Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of Carrier and the other members of the Carrier Group or Otis and the other members of the Otis Group, respectively, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of (1) UTC or any other member of the UTC Group or (2) (x) in the case of the ownership, operation or activities of the Carrier Business, Otis or any other member of the Otis Group or (y) in the case of the ownership, operation or activities of the Otis Business, Carrier or any other member of the Carrier Group; and (ii) any fault associated with (A) the business conducted with Delayed Assets or Delayed Liabilities of UTC (except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a member of the Carrier or Otis Group) or (B) the ownership, operation or activities of the UTC Business prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be the fault of UTC and the other members of the UTC Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Carrier, Otis or any other member of their respective Groups.
 
4.9          Covenant Not to Sue.  Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that:  (a) the assumption or retention of any Carrier Liabilities by Carrier or a member of the Carrier Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the assumption or retention of any Otis Liabilities by Otis or a member of the Otis Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (c) the assumption or retention of any UTC Liabilities by UTC or a member of the UTC Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (d) the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.
 
4.10          Remedies Cumulative.  The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.
 
-54-

4.11          Survival of Indemnities.  The rights and obligations of each of UTC, Carrier and Otis and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive (a) the sale or other transfer by any of the Parties or any member of their respective Groups of any assets or businesses or the assignment by any of the Parties of any Liabilities; or (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of its Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving any of the Parties or any members of their respective Groups; it being understood that in any such case, the applicable Party shall make proper provision so that the successor or acquiror, as applicable, expressly assumes the obligations of such Party set forth this Article IV.
 
ARTICLE V
CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS
 
5.1          Insurance Matters.
 
(a)          In no event shall UTC, any other member of the UTC Group or any UTC Indemnitee have any Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group in the event that any insurance policy or insurance policy-related contract has been or is terminated or otherwise ceases to be in effect for any reason, is or becomes unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group for any reason whatsoever or has not been or is not renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.
 
(b)          Except as provided on Schedule 5.1(b) and except in the circumstances where Section 5.1(c) is applicable, with respect to any losses, damages and Liabilities incurred by any member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group prior to the Applicable Third-Party Insurance Separation Date relating to such type of losses, damages and Liabilities, UTC will provide each of Carrier and Otis with access to, and each of Carrier and Otis may make occurrence-based claims under, UTC’s Third-Party occurrence-based insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Applicable Third-Party Insurance Separation Date and UTC’s historical Third-Party occurrence-based insurance policies (to the extent then remaining available), but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the Carrier Group or the Carrier Business or members of the Otis Group or the Otis Business, respectively, for occurrence-based claims prior to the Applicable Third-Party Insurance Separation Date; provided, that Carrier and Otis shall access and make occurrence-based claims under such insurance policies in good faith and in a manner consistent with past practice; provided, further, that such access to, and the right to make occurrence-based claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
 
(i)          Carrier or Otis shall notify UTC, as promptly as practicable, of any claim made by it pursuant to this Section 5.1(b);
 
(ii)         Carrier or Otis and the members of their respective Groups shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse UTC and the members of the UTC Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments,
 
-55-

legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, and other expenses incurred by UTC or any member of the UTC Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by Carrier or Otis or any other members of their respective Groups under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), whether such claims are made by Carrier, its employees or any Third Parties or Otis, its employees or any Third Parties, as applicable; and
 
(iii)        Each of Carrier and Otis shall exclusively bear (and neither UTC nor any member of the UTC Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Carrier or Otis or any member of their respective Groups for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by it or any member of its Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b).
 
In the event that (A) any member of the UTC Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Applicable Third-Party Insurance Separation Date for which such member of the UTC Group is entitled to coverage under any Third-Party occurrence-based insurance policies of Carrier or Otis or any member of their respective Groups, (B) any member of the Carrier Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Applicable Third-Party Insurance Separation Date for which such member of the Carrier Group is entitled to coverage under any Third-Party occurrence-based insurance policies of Otis or any member of its Group, or (C) any member of the Otis Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Applicable Third-Party Insurance Separation Date for which such member of the Otis Group is entitled to coverage under any Third-Party occurrence-based insurance policies of Carrier or any member of its Group, then the terms of this Section 5.1(b), Section 5.1(e) and Section 5.1(f) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.
 
(c)          From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Carrier Captive Liabilities or any Otis Captive Liabilities incurred prior to the Effective Time with respect to which the UTC Captive Entities retain Third-Party insurance or reinsurance coverage, the UTC Captive Entities will provide each of Carrier and Otis with access to, and each of Carrier and Otis may make claims under, the UTC Captive Entities’ Third-Party insurance or reinsurance policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and the UTC Captive Entities’ historical Third-Party insurance or reinsurance policies (in each case, solely to the extent coverage remains available), but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for such Carrier Captive Liabilities or Otis Captive Liabilities, as applicable; provided, that Carrier and Otis shall access and make claims under such insurance or reinsurance policies in good faith and in a manner consistent with past practice; provided, further, that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance or reinsurance policies, shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such insurance or reinsurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
 
(i)          Carrier or Otis shall notify UTC, as promptly as practicable, of any claim made by it pursuant to this Section 5.1(c);
 
-56-

(ii)         Carrier or Otis and the members of their respective Groups shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse UTC and the members of the UTC Group for any deductibles, self-insured retention, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, and other expenses incurred by UTC or any member of the UTC Group to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by Carrier or Otis or any other members of their respective Groups under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(c), whether such claims are made by Carrier, its employees or any Third Parties or Otis, its employees or any Third Parties, as applicable; and
 
(iii)        each of Carrier and Otis shall exclusively bear (and neither UTC nor any member of the UTC Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Carrier or Otis or any member of their respective Groups for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by it or any member of its Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(c).
 
(d)          Except as expressly provided in Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c), none of UTC, Carrier, Otis or any member of their respective Groups shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance or reinsurance policies of the other Parties or any other member of their respective Groups, including, with respect to Carrier or Otis, any rights to or under, or any recourse to, any Assets or insurance policies or programs of any UTC Captive Entity.  At the Effective Time, each of Carrier and Otis shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with its contractual obligations and such other insurance or reinsurance policies or insurance contracts required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to Carrier’s or Otis’s, respectively.  For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the applicable Effective Time, neither UTC nor any member of its Group (including any UTC Captive Entity) shall have any Liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to any Carrier Captive Liabilities or any Otis Captive Liabilities, each of which shall be Carrier Liabilities or Otis Liabilities, respectively, for all purposes hereunder.
 
(e)          None of Carrier, Otis or any member of their respective Groups, in connection with making a claim under any insurance or reinsurance policy of UTC or any member of the UTC Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have a material and adverse impact on the then-current relationship between UTC or any member of the UTC Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by UTC or any member of the UTC Group under the applicable insurance or reinsurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere in any material respect with the rights of UTC or any member of the UTC Group under the applicable insurance or reinsurance policy.
 
(f)          All payments and reimbursements by Carrier or Otis pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of an invoice therefor from UTC.  UTC shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance or reinsurance policies and programs (the “Control Right”), including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance or reinsurance policies and
 
-57-

programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance or reinsurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Carrier Liabilities or Otis Liabilities and/or claims Carrier or Otis has made or could make in the future; provided that UTC does not exercise the Control Right with the specific and primary purpose of depriving Carrier or Otis of the ability to access or make claims under such policies and programs pursuant to this Section 5.1.  Except to the extent in the exercise of such Person’s express rights pursuant to this Section 5.1, no member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with UTC’s insurers with respect to any of UTC’s insurance or reinsurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance or reinsurance policies and programs.  Each of Carrier and Otis shall cooperate with UTC and share such Information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit UTC to manage and conduct its insurance matters as UTC deems appropriate.  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and any member of its applicable Group has the sole right to settle or otherwise resolve any incidents or injuries with respect to it or any member of its applicable Group vis-à-vis a Third-Party covered under an applicable insurance or reinsurance policy.
 
(g)          This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the UTC Group in respect of any insurance or reinsurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.
 
(h)          Each of Carrier and Otis does hereby, for itself and each other member of its Group, agree that no member of the UTC Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance or reinsurance policies and practices of UTC and the members of the UTC Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy or the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.
 
5.2          Late Payments.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within forty-five (45) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two  percent (2%).
 
5.3          Inducement.  Each of Carrier and Otis acknowledges and agrees that UTC’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and Distributions has been conditioned upon and induced by the covenants and agreements of Carrier and Otis in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including Carrier’s assumption of the Carrier Liabilities and Otis’s assumption of the Otis Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and the covenants and agreements of Carrier and Otis contained in Article IV.

-59-

reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.  The Party providing Information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such Information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement, modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such Information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations of any Party under Section 6.4.  Each Party shall cause its employees and the employees of any members of its Group to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the employees of its Representatives to, when on the property of another Party or a member of another Party’s Group, conform to the policies and procedures of such Party or any member of such Party’s Group concerning health, safety, conduct and security that are made known or provided to the accessing Party from time to time.
 
(b)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the end of the fiscal year of UTC, Carrier or Otis during which the applicable Distribution Date occurs (whichever ends latest), and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and comply with any other Party’s Information requests to enable (i) such other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) such other Party’s accountants to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws; provided, that, with respect to the first fiscal quarter in respect of which the activities described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are undertaken following the Effective Time, each Party shall effect the foregoing by using the same processes, resources and deliverables for purposes of preparing financial statements and recording transactions as were used in the immediately prior fiscal quarter.
 
6.2          Ownership of Information.  The provision of any Information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such Information (which shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements) or constitute a grant of rights in or to any such Information.
 
6.3          Compensation for Providing Information.  The Party requesting Information agrees to reimburse the providing Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such Information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of Information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested Information).  Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.

6.5          Limitations of Liability.  None of the Parties shall have any Liability to any other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Party providing such Information.  None of the Parties shall have any Liability to any other Party if any Information is destroyed after commercially reasonable efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.
 
6.6          Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

-61-

(b)          If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the applicable other Party (or Parties) shall make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.
 
(c)          Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.
 
(d)          The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents without regard to whether such Person or the employer of such Person could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).
 
6.8          Privileged Matters.
 
(a)          The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the First Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the UTC Group, the Carrier Group and the Otis Group and that each of the members of the UTC Group, the Carrier Group and the Otis Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges that may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith.  The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services may be provided following the First Effective Time and prior to the Second Effective Time, which services will be rendered (i) in the event the Carrier Effective Time is the First Effective Time, solely for the benefit of the Carrier Group on the one hand, and each of the members of the UTC Group and the Otis Group, on the other hand, as the case may be, or (ii) in the event the Otis Effective Time is the First Effective Time, solely for the benefit of the Otis Group on the one hand, and each of the members of the UTC Group and the Carrier Group, on the other hand.  The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Second Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the UTC Group, the Carrier Group or the Otis Group, as the case may be.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall authorize the delivery to and/or retention by the other Parties of materials existing as of the applicable Effective Time that are necessary for such services to be rendered for the benefit of the other applicable Parties.
 
(b)          The Parties agree as follows:

-62-

Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the UTC Group or any member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group.  UTC shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any UTC Assets or UTC Liabilities resulting from or arising out of any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the UTC Group or any member of the Carrier Group or the Otis Group;
 
(ii)         Carrier shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Carrier Business and not to the UTC Business or the Otis Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Carrier Group or any member of the UTC Group or the Otis Group.  Carrier shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Carrier Assets or Carrier Liabilities resulting from or arising out of any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Carrier Group or any member of the UTC Group or the Otis Group; and
 
(iii)        Otis shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Otis Business and not to the UTC Business or the Carrier Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Otis Group or any member of the UTC Group or the Carrier Group.  Otis shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Otis Assets or Otis Liabilities resulting from or arising out of any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Otis Group or any member of the UTC Group or the Carrier Group.
 
(iv)        If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain Information is Privileged Information, then such Information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such Information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such Information unless the Parties otherwise agree.  The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any Information relates solely to the UTC Business, solely to the Carrier Business, solely to the Otis Business or to more than one of the UTC Business, the Carrier Business and the Otis Business.
 
(c)          Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b), including all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve more than one of the Parties (or one or more members of
 
-63-

their respective Groups) or in respect of which more than one of the Parties has Liabilities under this Agreement; it being understood that such shared privilege or immunity shall not be shared by UTC, Carrier or Otis if the applicable Privileged Information does not relate to the UTC Business, Carrier Business or Otis Business, or any UTC Liabilities, Carrier Liabilities or Otis Liabilities, respectively.  No such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by any of the Parties without the consent of the applicable other Parties who share such privilege or immunity.
 
(d)          If any Dispute arises among any of the Parties or any members of their respective Groups regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of any of the Parties and/or any members of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall (i) negotiate with the applicable other Parties in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the applicable other Parties; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to any request for waiver by the applicable other Parties.  Further, each Party specifically agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except in good faith to protect its own legitimate interests.
 
(e)          In the event of any Dispute among two (2) or all of the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, any of the applicable Parties may waive a privilege in which the applicable other Party or Parties or any member of such applicable other Party’s Group or Parties’ respective Groups has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c); provided, that such Party intends such waiver of a shared privilege to be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the Action among such Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and is not intended to operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.
 
(f)          Upon receipt by any of the Parties, or by any member of their respective Groups, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if any of the Parties obtains knowledge that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the applicable other Party(ies) of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such applicable other Party(ies) no later than five (5) business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the applicable other Party(ies) a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.
 
(g)          Any furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement among UTC, Carrier and Otis set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges and immunities.  The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to Information, witnesses and other Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts among the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and the transfer of Privileged Information among the Parties and members of their
 
-64-

respective Groups as needed pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
(h)          In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members of their respective Groups to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.
 
6.9          Confidentiality.
 
(a)          Confidentiality.  Subject to Section 6.10, from and after the Effective Time until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Time, each of UTC, Carrier and Otis, on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to UTC’s confidential and proprietary Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary Information concerning any other Party or any member of any other Party’s Group or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary Information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by any such other Party or any member of such Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary Information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by any Party or any member of any Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves known by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) to be bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary Information, or (iii) independently developed or generated by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) without reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential Information of any other Party or any member of any such other Party’s Group; provided, with respect to trade secrets of any other Party or any member of any other Party’s Group or their respective businesses, the foregoing obligations and restrictions shall remain in effect for so long as the relevant information remains a trade secret under applicable Law.  If any confidential and proprietary Information of one Party or any member of its Group is disclosed to another Party or any member of another Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary Information shall be used only as required to perform such services.
 
(b)          No Release; Return or Destruction.  Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Information addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such Information) and except in compliance with Section 6.10.  Without limiting the foregoing, when any such Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any
 
-65-

Ancillary Agreement, and is no longer subject to any legal hold or other document preservation obligation, each Party will promptly after request of the applicable other Party either return to such other Party all such Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify such other Party in writing that it has destroyed such Information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided, that the Parties may retain electronic backup versions of such Information maintained on routine computer system backup tapes, disks or other backup storage devices; provided, further, that any such Information so retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
 
(c)          Third-Party Information; Privacy or Data Protection Laws.  Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary Information of, or legally protected personal Information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under privacy policies and/or confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and another Party or members of another Party’s Group, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the three (3) Parties, was originally collected by another Party or members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy policies, as well as privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws. Each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its Group and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary Information of, or legally protected personal Information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy policies and privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among another Party or members of another Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.
 
6.10        Protective Arrangements.  In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide Information of another Party (or any member of another Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the applicable other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the applicable other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the applicable other Party.  In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such Information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority or to the extent necessary for such Party to not be so prejudiced, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the applicable other Party with a copy of the Information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such Information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
 
7.1          Good Faith Officer Negotiation.  Subject to Section 7.4, any of the Parties seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are Carrier Assets, Otis Assets or UTC Assets, any Liabilities are Carrier Liabilities, Otis Liabilities or UTC Liabilities, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) (a “Dispute”), which Dispute could not be resolved by the Transition Committee, shall provide written notice thereof to the applicable other Parties (the “Officer Negotiation Request”).  Within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the Officer Negotiation Request, the applicable Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation.  All such negotiations shall be conducted by executives of the applicable Parties who hold, at a minimum, the title of Senior Vice President (or a position substantially equivalent thereto) and who have authority to settle the Dispute.  All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.  If the applicable Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Officer Negotiation Request, and such thirty (30)-day period is not extended by mutual written consent of the applicable Parties, or if an applicable Party reasonably concludes that another applicable Party is not willing to negotiate in good faith as contemplated by this Section 7.1, any of the applicable Parties may submit the Dispute to mediation in accordance with Section 7.2.
 
7.2          Mediation.  Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1 shall, at the written request of any applicable Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to nonbinding mediation in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure then in effect, except as modified herein.  The mediation shall be held in New York, New York or such other place as the applicable Parties may mutually agree.  The applicable Parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator.  If no mediator has been agreed upon by the applicable Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request, then any applicable Party may request (on written notice to the other applicable Parties) that CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the CPR Mediation Procedure.  All mediation pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the applicable Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings.  No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any Information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by another Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other applicable Party, except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or securities exchange rules or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange.  Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other applicable Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.  If the Dispute has not been resolved within the earlier of sixty (60) days after the appointment of a mediator or ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request, or within such longer period as the applicable Parties may agree
 
-67-


to in writing, any of the applicable Parties may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3; provided, that if one applicable Party fails to participate in the mediation for thirty (30) days after the appointment of a mediator, the other applicable Parties may commence arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3 prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth above.
 
7.3          Arbitration.
 
(a)          In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within the earlier of sixty (60) days after the appointment of a mediator or ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request in accordance with Section 7.2, or within such longer period as the applicable Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of an applicable Party (the “Arbitration Request”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current CPR arbitration procedure, except as modified herein.  The arbitration shall be held in (i) New York City, New York or (ii) such other place as the applicable Parties may mutually agree in writing.  Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be decided before a sole independent arbitrator, and, subject only to Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4, arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be the sole and exclusive venue for resolution of any and all Disputes.
 
(b)          The sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the applicable Parties within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request.  If the applicable Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator during such fifteen (15)-day period, then upon written application by any applicable Party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the CPR arbitration procedure.
 
(c)          The arbitrator will have the right to award, on a preliminary or interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief that it deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date), injunctive relief (including specific performance) and attorneys’ fees and costs; provided, that the arbitrator will not award any relief not specifically requested by the applicable Parties and, in any event, will not award any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other applicable Parties arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability arising from a payment actually made to a Third Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim).  Upon selection of the arbitrator following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or court pursuant to Section 7.4, the arbitrator may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the applicable Parties will seek modification or rescission of the order entered by the court as necessary to accord with the decision of the arbitrator.  The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the applicable Parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The initiation of arbitration pursuant to this Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding applicable state Law, the arbitration and this agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.
 
7.4          Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set

-68-

forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage (it being understood that such initiating Party may, at its election, pursue arbitration, including seeking arbitral relief on a preliminary or interim basis, in lieu of such judicial relief) and (b) any of the applicable Parties may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and/or Section 7.3 if such Party has submitted an Officer Negotiation Request, a Mediation Request and/or an Arbitration Request and any of the other applicable Parties has failed to comply with Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and/or Section 7.3 in good faith with respect to such negotiation and/or the commencement and engagement in arbitration.  In the circumstances contemplated by clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, such applicable Party may commence and prosecute such arbitration unilaterally in accordance with the CPR arbitration procedure.

7.5          Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

7.6          Dispute Resolution Coordination.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 14 of the Tax Matters Agreement or Section 8.2 of the Intellectual Property Agreement (as applicable), the provisions of this Article VII (other than this Section 7.6) shall not apply with respect to the resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to (a) Taxes or Tax matters (it being understood and agreed that the resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Taxes or Tax matters shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement) or (b) the Intellectual Property Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the resolution of any such dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Intellectual Property Agreement shall be governed by the Intellectual Property Agreement).

A Party may, by notice to the other Parties, change the address to which such notices are to be given or made.
 
10.6        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.  Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.
 
10.7        Force Majeure.  No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure.  In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.  A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to
 
-74-

remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.
 
10.8        No Set-Off.  Except as expressly set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, none of the Parties nor any member of their respective Groups shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (b) any other amounts claimed to be owed to the other Parties or any member of their respective Groups arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
 
10.9        Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, all third party fees, costs and expenses, and all other fees, costs and expenses, in each case incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement, including the Separation and the Distributions, and any Ancillary Agreement, the Information Statements, the Plan of Reorganization and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be borne, to the extent incurred at or prior to the Effective Time, by UTC, and to the extent incurred at any time following the Effective Time, by the Party or its applicable Subsidiary incurring such fees, costs or expenses.  The Parties agree that certain specified costs and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties as set forth on Schedule 10.9.
 
10.10      Headings.  The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Agreements are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
 
10.11      Survival of Covenants.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, and Liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, shall survive the Separation and the Distributions and shall remain in full force and effect.
 
10.12      Waivers of Default.  Waiver by a Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of any other Party.  No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
 
10.13      Specific Performance.  Subject to the provisions of Article VII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any
 
-75-

loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.
 
10.14      Amendments.  No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representatives of the Parties against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification; provided that, from the First Effective Time to the Second Effective Time, provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified (a) if the Carrier Distribution occurs prior to the Otis Distribution, without the consent of Carrier, so long as such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification does not adversely affect in any material respect any provisions of, or obligations under, this Agreement that are for the benefit of Carrier, or materially prejudice or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect any rights of Carrier or any member of its Group under this Agreement and (b) if the Otis Distribution occurs prior to the Carrier Distribution, without the consent of Otis, so long as such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification does not adversely affect in any material respect any provisions of, or obligations under, this Agreement that are for the benefit of Otis or materially prejudice or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect any rights of Otis or any member of its Group under this Agreement.
 
10.15      Interpretation.  In this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires; (b) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) as a whole (including all of the Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices hereto and thereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement (or such Ancillary Agreement); (c) Article, Section, Schedule, Exhibit and Appendix references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) unless otherwise specified; (d) unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement (including this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement) shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Appendixes) to such agreement; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days; (h) references to “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law to close in the United States, New York, New York, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, or Farmington, Connecticut; (i) references herein to this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement or such other agreement as of the date on which it is executed and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented thereafter, unless otherwise specified; (j) unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall be references to April 2, 2020; and (k) the word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not merely mean “if.”

10.16      Limitations of Liability.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Carrier or any member of the Carrier Group, Otis or any member of the Otis Group or UTC or any member of the UTC Group shall be liable under this Agreement to any other Party or member of its Group for any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of such other Party or member of its Group arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability paid or actually payable in respect of a Third-Party Claim).
 
10.17      Performance.  UTC will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the UTC Group.  Carrier will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the Carrier Group.  Otis will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the Otis Group.  Each Party (including its permitted successors and assigns) further agrees that it will (a) give timely notice of the terms, conditions and continuing obligations contained in this Agreement and any applicable Ancillary Agreement to all of the other members of its Group and (b) cause all of the other members of its Group not to take any action or fail to take any such action inconsistent with such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
 
10.18     Mutual Drafting.  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the Parties, and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.

The designations and the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof of the shares of each class are as follows:
1.          The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, the shares of each series to have such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as are stated and expressed herein or in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series, adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided.

(c)          The number of the directors shall be fixed by the Bylaws, subject to alteration, from time to time, by amendment of the Bylaws either by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.  An increase in the number of directors shall be deemed to create vacancies in the Board, to be filled in the manner provided in the Bylaws.  Any director or any officer elected or appointed by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors may be removed at any time, in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws.
(d)          The Board of Directors shall have power to make and alter Bylaws, subject to such restrictions upon the exercise of such power as may be imposed by the incorporators or the stockholders in any Bylaws adopted by them from time to time.



(e)          The Board of Directors shall have power, in its discretion, to fix, determine and vary, from time to time, the amount to be retained as surplus and the amount or amounts to be set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends as working capital or a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose, and to abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
(f)          The Board of Directors shall have power, in its discretion, from time to time, to determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the books and accounts of the Corporation, or any of them, other than the stock ledger, shall be open to the inspection of stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by law or authorized by resolution of the directors or of the stockholders.
(g)          Upon any sale, exchange or other disposal of the property and/or assets of the Corporation, payment therefor may be made either to the Corporation or directly to the stockholders in proportion to their interests, upon the surrender of their respective stock certificates, or otherwise, as the Board of Directors may determine.
(h)          [Reserved].
(i)          In case the Corporation shall enter into any contract or transact any business with one or more of its directors, or with any firm of which any director is a member, or with any corporation or association of which any director is a stockholder, director or officer, such contract or transaction shall not be invalidated or in any way affected by the fact that such director has or may have an interest therein which is or might be adverse to the interests of the Corporation, even though the vote of such director might have been necessary to obligate the Corporation upon such contract or transaction; provided, that the fact of such interest shall have been disclosed to the other directors or the stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, acting upon or with reference to such contract or transaction.
(j)          Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs.  If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.



(k)          The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change, add to or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute; and all rights herein conferred are granted subject to this reservation.

(or other major bank headquartered in New York City selected by a majority of the Disinterested Directors) from time to time in effect in New York City, less the aggregate amount of any cash dividends paid, and the Fair Market Value of any dividends paid in other than cash, per share of such class of Voting Stock from the date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder through the Consummation Date in an amount up to but not exceeding the amount of such interest payable per share of such class of Voting Stock;

(v)          After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder shall not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the Corporation.
(vi)          A proxy or information statement describing the proposed Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall be mailed to public stockholders of the Corporation at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or subsequent provisions).

Exhibit 3.2

BYLAWS
OF
RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE
APRIL 3, 2020

SECTION 1 – Meetings of Shareholders

SECTION 1.1          Annual Meetings.

Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held each year on such date and at such time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of electing directors and transacting such other proper business as may come before the meeting.

SECTION 1.2          Special Meetings.

(A)          Special meetings of shareholders may be called from time to time by the Board of Directors, by the Chairman, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or by the Secretary of the Corporation at the valid written request of shareholders of record who own (for all purposes under this Section 1.2, as defined in Section 1.12(A)(3) of these Bylaws), or are acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners who own, capital stock representing at least 15% of the Voting Stock (the “Special Meeting Request Required Shares”), and who continue to own the Special Meeting Request Required Shares at all times between the Ownership Record Date (as defined in paragraph (B) of this Section 1.2) and the date of the applicable meeting of shareholders.  Special meetings shall be held solely for the purpose or purposes specified in the notice of meeting delivered by the Corporation.  For purposes of these Bylaws, “Voting Stock” shall mean outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors.

(B)          Any record shareholder (whether acting for him, her or itself, or at the direction of a beneficial owner) may, by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation, request that the Board of Directors fix a record date to determine the record shareholders who are entitled to deliver a written request to call a special meeting (such record date, the “Ownership Record Date”).  A valid written request to fix an Ownership Record Date shall include all of the information that must be included in a written request to call a special meeting, as set forth in paragraph (D) of this Section 1.2.  The Board of Directors may fix the Ownership Record Date within 10 days of the Secretary’s receipt of a valid written request to fix the Ownership Record Date.  The Ownership Record Date shall not precede, and shall not be more than 10 days after, the date upon which the resolution fixing the Ownership Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors.  If an Ownership Record Date is not fixed by the Board of Directors within the period set forth above, the Ownership Record Date shall be the date that the first valid written request to call a special meeting is received by the Secretary with respect to the proposed business to be submitted for shareholder approval at a special meeting.

(C)          A beneficial owner who wishes to deliver a written request to call a special meeting must cause the nominee or other person who serves as the record shareholder of such beneficial owner’s stock to sign the written request to call a special meeting.  If a record shareholder is the nominee for more than one beneficial owner of stock, the record shareholder may deliver a valid written request to call a special meeting solely with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by the beneficial owner who is directing the record shareholder to sign such written request to call a special meeting.



(D)          Each valid written request to call a special meeting shall include the following and shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation:

(1)          the signature of the record shareholder submitting such request and the date such request was signed;

(2)          the text of each business proposal desired to be submitted for shareholder approval at the special meeting; and

(3)          as to the beneficial owner, if any, directing such record shareholder to sign the written request to call a special meeting and as to such record shareholder (unless such record shareholder is acting solely as a nominee for a beneficial owner) (each such beneficial owner and each record shareholder who is not acting solely as a nominee, a “Disclosing Party”):

(a)          all of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 1.10(A)(2) of these Bylaws, which information shall be supplemented (by delivery to the Secretary) by each Disclosing Party (i) not later than 10 days after the record date for determining the record shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting (such record date, the “Meeting Record Date”), to disclose the foregoing information as of the Meeting Record Date and (ii) not later than the 5th day before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, to disclose the foregoing information as of the date that is 10 days prior to the special meeting or any such adjournment or postponement thereof, as applicable;

(b)          with respect to each business proposal to be submitted for shareholder approval at the special meeting, a statement whether or not any Disclosing Party will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of Voting Stock of the Corporation required under these Bylaws, the certificate of incorporation and statute to carry such proposal (such statement, a “Solicitation Statement”); and

(c)          any additional information reasonably requested by the Board of Directors to verify the Voting Stock ownership position of such Disclosing Party.

Each time the Disclosing Party’s Voting Stock ownership position decreases following the delivery of the foregoing information to the Secretary, such Disclosing Party shall notify the Corporation of his, her or its decreased Voting Stock ownership position, together with any information reasonably requested by the Board of Directors to verify such position, within 10 days of such decrease or as of the 5th day before the special meeting, whichever is earlier.

2


(E)          The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, an otherwise valid written request to call a special meeting pursuant to Clause (A) of this Section 1.2:

(1)          that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 1.2;

(2)          that relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law;

(3)          that is delivered during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice of annual meeting for the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting;

(4)          if the Board of Directors has called or calls an annual or special meeting of shareholders to be held not more than 90 days after receipt by the Secretary of such written request to call a special meeting and the purpose of such shareholder meeting called by the Board of Directors includes (among any other matters properly brought before the meeting) an identical or substantially similar item (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, a “Similar Item”) as the purpose specified in such written request to call a special meeting; or

(5)          if a Similar Item (a) other than the election of directors, has been presented at any meeting of shareholders held within 180 to 91 days prior to receipt by the Secretary of such written request to call a special meeting or (b) has been presented at any meeting of shareholders held within 90 days prior to receipt by the Secretary of such written request to call a special meeting (and, for purposes of clarity, for purposes of this clause (b), the election of directors shall deemed to be a “Similar Item” with respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors).

(F)          Revocations:

(1)          A record shareholder may revoke a request to call a special meeting at any time before the special meeting by sending written notice of such revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation.

(2)          All written requests for a special meeting shall be deemed revoked:

(a)          upon the first date that, after giving effect to revocation(s) and notice(s) of ownership position decrease(s) (pursuant to Section 1.2(D)(3) and the last sentence of Section 1.2(D), respectively), the aggregate Voting Stock ownership position of all the Disclosing Parties who are listed on the unrevoked valid written requests to call a special meeting with respect to the applicable proposal decreases to a number of shares of Voting Stock less than the Special Meeting Request Required Shares;

(b)          if any Disclosing Party who has provided a Solicitation Statement with respect to any business proposal to be submitted for shareholder approval at such special meeting does not act in accordance with the representations set forth therein; or

3


(c)          if any Disclosing Party does not provide the information required by Section 1.2(D) in accordance with such provisions.

(3)          If an actual or deemed revocation of all valid written requests to call a special meeting has occurred after the special meeting has been called by the Secretary, the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting.

(G)          The Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at a special meeting called at the request of one or more shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.2.  The Meeting Record Date for, and the place, date and time of, any special meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors; provided, that the date of any such special meeting shall not be more than 120 days after the date on which valid special meeting request(s) from holder(s) of the Special Meeting Required Shares are delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 1.2.

SECTION 1.3          Time and Place of Meetings.

Subject to the provisions of Section 1.1 and Section 1.2, each meeting of shareholders shall be held on such date, at such hour and at such place as fixed by the Board of Directors or in the notice of the meeting delivered by the Corporation or, in the case of an adjourned meeting, as announced by the Corporation at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

SECTION 1.4          Notice of Meetings.

A notice of each meeting of shareholders, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by the Corporation personally, by mail or by electronic transmission as set forth below to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting.  Unless otherwise provided by statute, the notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting and, if mailed, shall be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.  No notice need be given to any person with whom communication is unlawful, nor shall there be any duty to apply for any permit or license to give notice to any such person.  If the time and place of an adjourned meeting of shareholders are announced by the Corporation at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, no notice need be given of the adjourned meeting unless that adjournment is for more than 30 days or unless, after the adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.  Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to shareholders, any notice to shareholders under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws may be given by the Corporation by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

SECTION 1.5          Waiver of Notice.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, notice of any meeting of shareholders need not be given to any shareholder who in person or by proxy shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting, either before or after such meeting, or who shall attend the meeting in person or by proxy, unless such shareholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

4


SECTION 1.6          Quorum and Manner of Acting.

Subject to the provisions of these Bylaws, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and statute as to the vote that is required for a specified action, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares constituting such quorum shall be binding on all shareholders of the Corporation.  The Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer or a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote may, regardless of whether or not they constitute a quorum, adjourn the meeting to another time and place.  No notice of the time and place, if any, of adjourned meetings need be given except as required by applicable law.  The shareholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave is less than a quorum.  Any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present.

SECTION 1.7          Voting.

A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to vote for him, her or itself by proxy.  Such authorization may be accomplished by the shareholder or his, her or its authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing his, her or its signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including facsimile signature or by electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service, or similar agent duly authorized by the intended proxy holder to receive such transmission; provided, that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder.  No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

SECTION 1.8          Inspectors of Election; Opening and Closing the Polls.

The Board of Directors may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of shareholders appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including without limitation as officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of shareholders, the chairman of the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.  The inspector or inspectors of election shall have the duties prescribed by law.  The chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a meeting.

SECTION 1.9          List of Shareholders.

A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address and number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder, shall be prepared and made available for examination during regular business hours by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting.  The list shall be available for such examination at the principal place of business of the Corporation for a period of not less than 10 days prior to the meeting and during the whole time of the meeting.

SECTION 1.10          Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.

(A)          Annual Meetings of Shareholders.

(1)          Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any shareholder of the Corporation who was a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.10 and, at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 as to such business or nomination; clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than nominations at an annual meeting made pursuant to Section 1.12 of these Bylaws and matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of shareholders.

(2)          Without qualification, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 1.10, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must be a proper matter for shareholder action.  To be timely, a shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.  In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period or extend any time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.  To be in proper form, such shareholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this paragraph (A)(2) or paragraph (B) of Section 1.10) to the Secretary must:  (a) set forth, as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (such shareholder or beneficial owner, a “holder”), (i) the name and address of each such holder (as they appear on the Corporation’s books in the case of the record holder), (ii) (A) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially or of record by each such holder, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”), directly or indirectly owned beneficially or of record by each such holder and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which each such holder, directly or indirectly, has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any short interest in any security of the Corporation (for purposes of these Bylaws a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially or of record by each such holder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record by a general or limited partnership in which each such holder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record owns an interest in a general partner and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that each such holder is, directly or indirectly, entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record by members of such holder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such holder not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (iii) any other information relating to each such holder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of any such holder in such business and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between any such holder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder; (c) set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the Board of Directors (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among any such holder and its affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if any such holder or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and (d) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by paragraph (C) of this Section 1.10.  The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

6


(3)          Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 1.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 1.10 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(B)          Special Meetings of Shareholders.  Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting.  To be properly brought before a special meeting, proposals of business must be specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) (a) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) given by the Corporation pursuant to a valid shareholder written request in accordance with Section 1.2 of these Bylaws; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting additional matters to shareholders at any such special meeting.  Without qualification, and subject to Section 1.2 and paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 1.10, for any business to be properly requested to be brought before a special meeting by a shareholder pursuant to this paragraph (B), the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof and timely updates and supplements thereof in each case in proper form, in writing to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action.  Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the Corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.10 and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 as to such nomination.  In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the shareholder’s notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 1.10 with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by paragraph (C) of this Section 1.10) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and, if applicable, of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.  In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period or extend any time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.  This paragraph (B) of this Section 1.10 (and subject to Section 1.2) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or business proposals (other than matters properly brought pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before a special meeting of shareholders.

7


(C)          Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreements.  To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under this Section 1.10 or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a completed and signed written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (1) is not and will not become a party to (a) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (b) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (2) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein, and (3) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable law and with the Corporation’s Code of Ethics, corporate governance guidelines, conflict of interest policy, confidentiality policies, stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines, and any other code of conduct, policies and guidelines adopted by the Corporation or any rules, regulations and listing standards, in each case as applicable to other members of the Board of Directors.

(D)          General.

(1)          Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable, shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable, and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.10 or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(2)          For purposes of this Section 1.10, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(3)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10 and/or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.10 and/or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable; provided, however, that any references in this Section 1.10 and/or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable, to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 1.10 (A)(1)(c), Section 1.10 (B) or Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable.  Nothing in this Section 1.10 or in Section 1.12 of these Bylaws, as applicable, shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

SECTION 1.11

(A)          Consents to Corporate Action.  Any action which is required to be or may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of Subsections (B) and (C) of this Section 1.11, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall have been signed by the holders of the outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided, however, that prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting and by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.

9


(B)          Determination of Record Date of Action by Written Consent.  The record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date.  Upon receipt of such a request, the Secretary shall place such request before the Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, however, that if the shareholder represents in such request that he or she intends, and is prepared, to commence a consent solicitation as soon as is permitted by the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder and other applicable law, the Secretary shall as promptly as practicable, call a special meeting of the Board of Directors, which meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable.  At such regular or special meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a record date as provided in Section 213 (or its successor provision) of the DGCL.  Should the Board fail to fix a record date as provided for in this Subsection (B), then the record date shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed.

(C)          Procedures for Written Consent.  In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take corporate action and/or related revocations, the Secretary shall provide for the safekeeping of such consents and revocations and shall, as promptly as practicable, engage nationally recognized independent judges of election for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations.  No action by written consent and without a meeting shall be effective until such judges have completed their review, determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents, and certified such determination for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders.

SECTION 1.12
Inclusion of Shareholder Director Nominations in the Corporation’s Proxy Materials.

(A)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Bylaws, the Corporation shall include in its proxy materials for an annual meeting of shareholders the name, together with the Required Information (defined below), of any person nominated for election (the “Shareholder Nominee”) to the Board of Directors by a shareholder or group of shareholders that satisfy the requirements of this Section 1.12 (such person or group, the “Eligible Shareholder”), and that expressly elects at the time of providing the written notice required by this Section 1.12 (a “Proxy Access Notice”) to have its nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.12.

(1)          For purposes of this Section 1.12 and Section 1.2 of these Bylaws, “Constituent Holder” shall mean any shareholder, beneficial holder or collective investment fund included within a Qualifying Fund (as defined in paragraph (E) below) whose stock ownership is counted for the purposes of qualifying as holding the Special Meeting Request Required Shares (in Section 1.2) or the Proxy Access Request Required Shares (in this Section 1.12, as defined in paragraph (E) below) or qualifying as an Eligible Shareholder (in this Section 1.12, as defined in paragraph (E) below);

10


(2)          For purposes of this Section 1.12 and Section 1.2 of these Bylaws, “affiliate” and “associate” shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Rule 405 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the term “partner” as used in the definition of “associate” shall not include any limited partner that is not involved in the management of the relevant partnership; and

(3)          For purposes of this Section 1.12 and Section 1.2 of these Bylaws, a shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of Voting Stock as to which the shareholder (or any Constituent Holder) possesses both (a) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (b) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares.  The number of shares calculated in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall be deemed not to include (and to the extent any of the following arrangements have been entered into by affiliates of the shareholder (or of any Constituent Holder), shall be reduced by) any shares (x) sold by such shareholder (or any of its affiliates) in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including any short sale, (y) borrowed by such shareholder (or any of its affiliates) for any purposes or purchased by such shareholder (or any of its affiliates) pursuant to an agreement to resell or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such shareholder (or any of its affiliates), whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of Voting Stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised by either party thereto would have, the purpose or effect of (i) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s (or affiliate’s) full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (ii) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder (or affiliate), other than any such arrangements solely involving an exchange listed multi-industry market index fund in which Voting Stock represents at the time of entry into such arrangement less than 10% of the proportionate value of such index.  A shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and the right to direct the disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares.  A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the shareholder has loaned such shares or delegated any voting power over such shares by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which in either case is revocable at any time by the shareholder.  The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings.

11


(B)          For purposes of this Section 1.12, the “Required Information” that the Corporation will include in its proxy statement is (1) the information concerning the Shareholder Nominee and the Eligible Shareholder that the Corporation determines is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement by the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) if the Eligible Shareholder so elects, a Statement (defined below).  The Corporation shall also include the name of the Shareholder Nominee in its proxy card.  For the avoidance of doubt, and any other provision of these Bylaws notwithstanding, the Corporation may in its sole discretion solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statements or other information relating to, any Eligible Shareholder and/or Shareholder Nominee, including any information provided to the Corporation with respect to the foregoing.

(C)          To be timely, a shareholder’s Proxy Access Notice must be delivered to the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day and not later than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary of the date that the Corporation first issued its proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting.  In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, the date of which has been announced by the Corporation, commence a new time period for the giving of a Proxy Access Notice.

(D)          The number of Shareholder Nominees (including Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.12 but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors decides to nominate as Board of Directors’ nominees) appearing in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders shall be the greater of (x) one and (y) the largest whole number that does not exceed 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Proxy Access Notice may be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 (such greater number, the “Permitted Number”); provided, however, that the Permitted Number shall be reduced by:

(1)          the number of such director candidates for which the Corporation shall have received one or more valid shareholder notices nominating director candidates pursuant to Section 1.10 (A)(1)(c) of these Bylaws;

(2)          the number of directors in office or director candidates that in either case will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any shareholder or group of shareholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of Voting Stock, by such shareholder or group of shareholders, from the Corporation), other than any such director referred to in this clause (2) who at the time of such annual meeting will have served as a director continuously, as a nominee of the Board of Directors, for at least two annual terms, but only to the extent the Permitted Number after such reduction with respect to this clause (2) equals or exceeds one; and

12


(3)          the number of directors in office that will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting for whom access to the Corporation’s proxy materials was previously provided pursuant to this Section 1.12, other than any such director referred to in this clause (3) who at the time of such annual meeting will have served as a director continuously, as a nominee of the Board of Directors, for at least two annual terms;

provided, further, that in the event the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors effective on or prior to the date of the annual meeting, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.  In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.12 exceeds the Permitted Number, each Eligible Shareholder will select one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of Voting Stock each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in its Proxy Access Notice submitted to the Corporation.  If the Permitted Number is not reached after each Eligible Shareholder has selected one Shareholder Nominee, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached.

(E)          An “Eligible Shareholder” is one or more shareholders of record who own and have owned, or are acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners who own and have owned (in each case as defined above), continuously for at least three years as of both the date that the Proxy Access Notice is received by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 1.12, and as of the record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the annual meeting, at least 3% of the aggregate voting power of the Voting Stock (the “Proxy Access Request Required Shares”), and who continue to own the Proxy Access Request Required Shares at all times between the date such Proxy Access Notice is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable annual meeting; provided that the aggregate number of shareholders, and, if and to the extent that a shareholder is acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners, of such beneficial owners, whose stock ownership is counted for the purpose of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirement shall not exceed 20.  Two or more collective investment funds that are part of the same family of funds or sponsored by the same employer (a “Qualifying Fund”) shall be treated as one shareholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shareholders in this paragraph (E); provided that each fund included within a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 1.12.  No shares may be attributed to more than one group constituting an Eligible Shareholder under this Section 1.12, and no shareholder may be a member of more than one such group.  A record holder acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners will not be counted separately as a shareholder with respect to the shares owned by beneficial owners on whose behalf such record holder has been directed in writing to act, but each such beneficial owner will be counted separately, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (E), for purposes of determining the number of shareholders whose holdings may be considered as part of an Eligible Shareholder’s holdings.  For avoidance of doubt, Proxy Access Request Required Shares will qualify as such only if the beneficial owner of such shares as of the date of the Proxy Access Notice has itself individually beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year period ending on that date and through other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to other applicable requirements being met).

13


(F)          No later than the final date when a nomination pursuant to this Section 1.12 may be delivered to the Corporation, an Eligible Shareholder (including each Constituent Holder) must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation:

(1)          with respect to each Constituent Holder, the information required by Section 1.10 (A)(2)(a) of these Bylaws;

(2)          one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three-year holding period) verifying that, as of a date within seven calendar days prior to the date the Proxy Access Notice is delivered to the Corporation, such person owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three years, the Proxy Access Request Required Shares, and such person’s agreement to provide:

(a)          within 10 days after the record date for the annual meeting, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying such person’s continuous ownership of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares through the record date, together with any additional information reasonably requested to verify such person’s ownership of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares; and

(b)          immediate notice if the Eligible Shareholder ceases to own any of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting of shareholders;

(3)          a representation that such person:

(a)          acquired the Proxy Access Request Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control of the Corporation, and does not presently have such intent;

(b)          has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting any person other than the Shareholder Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this Section 1.12;

(c)          has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not and will not be a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act in support of the election of any individual as a director at the annual meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Board of Directors;

(d)          will not distribute to any shareholder any form of proxy for the annual meeting other than the form distributed by the Corporation; and

(e)          will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its shareholders that are and will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will otherwise comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Section 1.12;

14


(4)          in the case of a nomination by a group of shareholders that together is such an Eligible Shareholder, the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all members of the nominating shareholder group with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including withdrawal of the nomination; and

(I)          Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for a particular annual meeting of shareholders, but subsequently is determined not to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 1.12 or any other provision of these Bylaws, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or other applicable regulation any time before the annual meeting of shareholders, will not be eligible for election at such annual meeting of shareholders.

(J)          The Corporation shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 1.12, a Shareholder Nominee in its proxy materials for any annual meeting of shareholders, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, to allow the nomination of a Shareholder Nominee, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation:

(1)          who is not independent under the listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common stock of the Corporation is listed, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing independence of the Corporation’s directors, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors;

(2)          whose service as a member of the Board of Directors would violate or cause the Corporation to be in violation of these Bylaws, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the rules and listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common stock of the Corporation is traded or any applicable law, rule or regulation;

(3)          if the Eligible Shareholder (or any Constituent Holder) or applicable Shareholder Nominee otherwise breaches or fails to comply in any material respect with its obligations pursuant to this Section 1.12 or any agreement, representation or undertaking required by this Section; or

For the purposes of this paragraph (J), clauses (1) and (2) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by the Shareholder Nominee, clause (3) will result in the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.12 of the specific Shareholder Nominee to whom the ineligibility applies, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, the ineligibility of such Shareholder Nominee to be nominated; provided, however, clause (4) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by an Eligible Shareholder (or any Constituent Holder), clause (3), will result in the Voting Stock owned by such Eligible Shareholder (or Constituent Holder) being excluded from the Proxy Access Request Required Shares (and, if as a result the Proxy Access Notice shall no longer have been filed by an Eligible Shareholder, the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 1.12 of all of the applicable shareholder’s Shareholder Nominees from the applicable annual meeting of shareholders or, if the proxy statement has already been filed, the ineligibility of all of such shareholder’s Shareholder Nominees to be nominated).

SECTION 2.1          Number and Term of Office.

The number of directors shall be not less than 10 nor more than 19; provided, that such number may be increased to the extent necessary to comply with Section 2.18(F) of these Bylaws.  The exact number, within those limits, shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.  Each director shall be elected annually to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders held in the following fiscal year and shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

SECTION 2.2          Election.

A nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast “for” such nominee’s election exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to such nominee’s election at a meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present.  Votes cast shall include “against” votes, but shall exclude abstentions with respect to that nominee’s election or with respect to the election of directors in general.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a contested election of directors, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present.  For purposes of this Section 2.2, a contested election shall mean any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary (a) as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period(s) set forth in Section 1.12 and Section 1.10 of these Bylaws based on whether one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with said Section 1.12 and/or Section 1.10 or (b) if later, reasonably promptly following the determination by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with said Section 1.12 and/or Section 1.10; provided, that the determination that an election is a “contested election” by the Secretary pursuant to clause (a) or (b) shall be determinative only as to the timeliness of a notice of nomination and not otherwise as to its validity.  If, prior to the tenth day before the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the shareholders, one or more notices of nomination are withdrawn (or declared invalid or untimely by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction) such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a contested election, but in all other cases, once an election is determined to be a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

SECTION 5.4          Lost Certificates.

(A)          The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, in accordance with and to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware as in effect at the time of the adoption of this Section 6.5 or as such laws may be amended from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment, 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), any person (and the heirs and legal representatives of any such person) made or threatened to be made a party to (or, in the case of directors and officers, otherwise involved in), any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution procedure, legislative hearing or inquiry or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, of any constituent corporation absorbed in a consolidation or merger or of a Subsidiary of the Corporation, or serves or served as such or in a fiduciary capacity with another enterprise at the request of the Corporation, any such constituent corporation or a Subsidiary, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or employee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by any such person in connection with such proceeding.

(B)          In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification provisions and not in limitation thereof, the Corporation shall pay or reimburse all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, any such constituent corporation or any Subsidiary and any such person who serves or served as such or in a fiduciary capacity at the request of one of the foregoing entities with another enterprise in advance of the final disposition of any such proceeding, promptly upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.  Subject to the approval of either (i) the Chief Executive Officer or (ii) the General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer acting together and upon such terms and conditions as the approving officer or officers deem appropriate, the Corporation may provide independent legal counsel or pay or reimburse the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation, any constituent corporation or any Subsidiary and any such person who serves or served as such or in a fiduciary capacity at the request of one of the foregoing entities with another enterprise in advance of the final disposition of any such proceeding, promptly upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

(C)          The rights provided by this Section 6.5 to any person who serves or served as a director or officer of the Corporation, a constituent corporation or a Subsidiary or as such or in a fiduciary capacity with another enterprise at the request of one of the foregoing entities shall be rights of contract enforceable against the Corporation by such person, who shall be presumed to have relied upon such rights in determining to serve or continuing to serve in such capacity, and shall vest at the time such person begins serving in such capacity.  In addition, the rights provided to any such person by this Section 6.5 shall survive the termination of such person’s service in any such capacity.  Such rights shall continue as long as such person shall be subject to any possible proceeding.  No amendment of this Section 6.5 shall impair the rights of any such person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment.

(D)          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.5, except for proceedings to enforce rights provided in this Section 6.5, the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Section 6.5 to provide any indemnification or any payment or reimbursement of expenses to any director, officer, employee or other person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person (which shall not include counterclaims or cross-claims initiated by others) unless the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to such proceeding (or part thereof) in a resolution adopted by the Board.

31


(E)          For purposes of this Section 6.5, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the economic or voting ownership interest or voting power to elect a majority of the directors of such entity; the term “other enterprise” shall include any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, association or other unincorporated organization or other entity and any employee benefit plan; service “at the request of the Corporation” shall include service as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of the Corporation, a constituent corporation or a Subsidiary which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such person with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan which such person reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

(F)          Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall limit the power of the Corporation or the Board of Directors to provide rights of indemnification and to make payment and reimbursement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to directors, officers, employees, agents, fiduciaries and other persons otherwise than pursuant to this Section 6.5.  The rights to indemnification and to receive payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 6.5 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement or otherwise.

(G)          If any provision or provisions of this Section 6.5 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 Section 6.5 (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Section 6.5 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 6.5 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Section 6.5 containing any such provision 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.

(H)          Subject to the approval of either (i) the Chief Executive Officer or (ii) the General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer acting together and upon such terms and conditions as the approving officer or officers deem appropriate, the Corporation may provide to any person who is or was an agent or fiduciary of the Corporation, a constituent corporation, a Subsidiary or an employee benefit plan of one of such entities rights of indemnification and to receive payment or reimbursement of expenses (including in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding), including attorneys’ fees, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 6.5 with respect to the indemnification of and payment or reimbursement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation, constituent corporations, Subsidiaries or other enterprises.  Any such rights, if provided, shall have the same force and effect as they would have if they were conferred in this Section 6.5.

32


(I)          Subject to the approval of either the Chief Financial Officer or the Vice President, Treasurer, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance in such amounts as the Board of Directors deems appropriate to protect each of itself and any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation, a constituent corporation, or a Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of one of such entities as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation shall have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.5 and the laws of the State of Delaware.  To the extent that the Corporation maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such current or former director, officer or employee, and each such agent or fiduciary to which rights of indemnification have been provided pursuant to paragraph (H) of this Section 6.5, shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such current or former director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.

(b)           After the date of this Agreement, if (i) Carrier or Otis identifies a service that UTC provided to it or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the applicable Distribution Date that it reasonably needs in order for the Carrier Business or Otis Business, as applicable, to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Carrier Business or Otis Business, as applicable, operated prior to the applicable Distribution Date, and such service was not included on the Schedules hereto (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided), or (ii) UTC identifies a service that Carrier or Otis provided to it or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the applicable Distribution Date that it reasonably needs in order for the UTC Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the UTC Business operated prior to the applicable Distribution Date, and such service was not included on the Schedules hereto (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided),
 
-8-

then, in each case, if such Party provides written notice to the applicable other Party within sixty (60) days after the applicable Distribution Date requesting such additional services, then the applicable other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested additional services (such requested additional services, the “Additional Services”); provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Additional Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Additional Service or if the provision of such Additional Service would significantly disrupt the operation of Service Provider’s business; and provided, further, that the applicable Party shall not be required to provide any Additional Services if the applicable Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Charges therefor).  In connection with any request for Additional Services in accordance with this Section 2.01(b), the applicable Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which terms shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, similar Services provided under this Agreement.  Upon the mutual written agreement of the applicable Parties, the supplement to the applicable Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, Service Period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such Additional Services in a manner similar to that in which the Services are described in the existing Schedules.  Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the applicable Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.02.           Performance of Services.
 
(a)           Subject to Section 2.05 and unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedules hereto, Service Provider shall perform (directly, through one (1) or more of its Subsidiaries, or through a Third Party service provider in accordance herewith), all Services to be provided in a manner that is substantially similar in all material respects to the analogous services provided by Service Provider or any of its applicable Subsidiaries to its applicable functional group or Subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Level of Service”) during the one (1)-year period ending on the last day of Service Provider’s last fiscal quarter completed on or prior to the applicable Distribution Date (the “Service Baseline Period”).
 
(b)            Nothing in this Agreement shall require Service Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party.  If Service Provider is or becomes aware that any such violation is reasonably likely, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise Service Recipient of such potential violation, and the applicable Parties shall mutually seek an alternative that addresses such potential violation.  The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party to allow Service Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Services to be provided hereunder in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.02.  Service Recipient shall reimburse Service Provider for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (if any) to the extent incurred by Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries at any time following the First Effective Time in connection with obtaining any
 
-9-

such Third Party consent that is required to allow Service Provider to perform or cause to be performed such Services (it being understood that to the extent any such consent is required in respect of a Service to be provided to more than one Party hereunder, each applicable Service Recipient shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of such reimbursement); provided, however, that any such out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) shall require advance written approval of Service Recipient; provided, further, that if Service Recipient does not provide such advance written approval and the incurrence of such cost or expense is reasonably necessary for Service Provider to provide the applicable Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to perform such Service.  If the applicable Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent with respect to a Service, or the performance of a Service by Service Provider would constitute a violation of any applicable Law, Service Provider shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform or cause to be performed such Service.

(c)             If Service Recipient requests that Service Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service in a manner that is more burdensome (with respect to service quality or quantity, other than in a de minimis respect) than the Level of Service during the Service Baseline Period, then the applicable Parties shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith to determine whether Service Provider will be required to provide such requested increased Level of Service.  If the applicable Parties determine that Service Provider shall provide the requested increased Level of Service, then such increased Level of Service shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the applicable Parties.  Each amended section of the Schedules hereto, as agreed to in writing by the applicable Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such written agreement and the Level of Service increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
(d)            (i) Without prejudice to Section 8.08(b), neither Service Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.02 OR ARTICLE VII, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES (A) THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, (B) THAT SERVICE RECIPIENT, AS APPLICABLE, ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND (C) THAT SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR GRANTS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.  SERVICE PROVIDER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.
 
(e)             Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement.  No Party shall knowingly take any
 
-10-

action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on the other Party.

Section 2.03.          Charges for Services.  Unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedules hereto, Service Recipient shall pay Service Provider a fee for such Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee, a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be set forth on the applicable Schedules hereto, or if not so set forth, then, unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedule hereto, based upon the cost of providing such Services as shall be agreed by the applicable Parties from time to time.  During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Service may be modified to the extent of (a) any adjustments mutually agreed by the applicable Parties, (b) any adjustments due to a change in Level of Service requested by Service Recipient, and agreed upon by Service Provider, and (c) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party provider that is providing Services, provided that Service Provider will notify Service Recipient in writing of any such change in rates at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such rate change.  Together with any invoice for Charges, Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by Service Recipient to the extent that such documentation is in Service Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.
 
Section 2.04.          Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Costs and Expenses.  Service Recipient shall reimburse Service Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the extent incurred by Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries at any time following the First Effective Time in connection with providing the Services to Service Recipient (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services or otherwise reimbursed to Service Provider pursuant to another provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such costs or expenses (including business travel and related expenses) incurred in excess of an aggregate amount of (a) fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) with respect to Carrier or Otis as Service Recipient shall require advance written approval of Carrier or Otis, as applicable, (b) fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) with respect to UTC as Service Recipient and Carrier as Service Provider shall require advance written approval of UTC and (c) fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) with respect to UTC as Service Recipient and Otis as Service Provider shall require advance written approval of UTC; provided, further, that if Service Recipient does not provide such advance written approval and the incurrence of such cost or expense is reasonably necessary for Service Provider to provide such Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to perform such Service.  Any authorized travel-related expenses to the extent incurred at any time following the Effective Time in performing the Services shall be charged to Service Recipient in accordance with Service Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies.
 
Section 2.05.           Changes in the Performance of Services.
 
(a)             Subject to the performance standards for Services set forth in Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.02(c), Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if Service Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if Service Provider furnishes to Service Recipient

Section 2.06.          Transitional Nature of Services.  The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid a disruption in the transition of the Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient (or its designee) including to assist with exiting a Service or portion thereof, it being understood that any incremental costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider in compliance with any request of Service Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.06 will be paid by the Service Recipient.  Service Recipient agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate its and its Subsidiaries’ dependency on each Service to the extent and as soon as is reasonably practicable (it being understood that this Section 2.06 shall not require Service Recipient to terminate any Service during the Minimum Service Period or otherwise prior to the initial termination date for such Service set forth on the applicable Schedule).
 
Section 2.07.          Subcontracting.  Service Provider may hire or engage one or more Third Parties to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) Service Provider shall use the same degree of care (but at least reasonable care) in selecting each such Third Party as it would if such Third Party was being retained to provide similar services to Service Provider and (b) Service Provider shall in all cases remain responsible (as primary obligor) for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the performance standard for Services set forth in Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.02(c) and the content of the Services provided to Service Recipient.  Service Provider shall be liable for any breach of its obligations under this Agreement by any Third Party service provider engaged by Service Provider.
 
Section 2.08.          Local Agreements.  Each of UTC, Carrier and Otis recognize and agree that it may be necessary or desirable to separately document certain matters relating to the Services provided hereunder in various jurisdictions from time to time or to otherwise modify the scope or nature of such Services, in each case to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law.

-12-

Services would be desirable, in each case in order for Service Provider or its Subsidiaries to provide any of the Services in a particular jurisdiction, Service Provider and Service Recipient shall, or shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, to enter into local implementing agreements (as each may be amended and in effect from time to time, each a “Local Agreement”) in form and content reasonably acceptable to the applicable Parties; provided that the execution or performance of any such Local Agreement shall in no way alter or modify any term or condition of this Agreement or the effect of any such term or condition, except to the extent expressly specified in such Local Agreement.  Except as used in this Section 2.08, any references herein to this Agreement and the Services to be provided hereunder, shall include any Local Agreement and any local services to be provided thereunder.  Except as expressly set forth in any Local Agreement, in the event of a conflict between the terms contained in a Local Agreement and the terms contained in this Agreement (including the applicable Schedules), the terms in this Agreement shall take precedence.

-27-

or other business combination of such Party with or into any other Person or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party to another Person, in each case so long as the resulting, surviving or acquiring Person assumes all the obligations of such applicable Party by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Party or Parties whose consent would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 8.08(a).  The Parties agree that if Carrier or Otis divests a business or portion of a business to a third party buyer while such business (or portion thereof, as applicable) is receiving Services under this Agreement, and the unavailability of the Services for the remaining applicable Service Period would materially and adversely impact such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) or Carrier’s or Otis’, as applicable, ability to successfully complete such divestiture, upon the written request of Carrier or Otis, as applicable, UTC and Carrier or Otis, as applicable, will cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on a mutually acceptable and commercially reasonable plan to permit such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable), but, for clarity, not any portion of the applicable third party buyer’s businesses or operations other than solely such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable), to continue to receive the applicable Services during the remaining applicable Service Period consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, such plan to include, if mutually acceptable and commercially reasonable, any appropriate set-up or similar activities to segregate, as appropriate, the services provided to the divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) from those provided to Carrier or Otis, as appropriate, and if and when such plan to segregate the services for such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) is mutually agreed (or if not mutually agreed, so long as UTC and Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall have determined that such plan is not necessary after cooperating in good faith), UTC shall provide such services to such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) on the terms set out herein; provided that (a) the third party buyer, pursuant to an agreement with Carrier or Otis, as applicable, assumes all obligations of Carrier or Otis, as applicable, under this Agreement in respect of such divested business (or portion thereof) and such applicable Services which agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to UTC, and shall also specify that other than the preparation for and provision of the applicable Services and any necessary interaction with the third party buyer in connection therewith, UTC need only communicate and interact with Carrier or Otis, as applicable, and not such third party buyer, including with respect to invoicing, for which UTC shall invoice Carrier or Otis, as applicable, and Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall remit payment to UTC, (b) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a) and in addition to (but not in duplication of) its other indemnification obligations (if any) under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless UTC, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives, and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the sale, delivery or provision of any such Services to such third party buyer (except to the extent that such Liability relates to, arises out of or results from UTC’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud), and (c) the provision of such applicable Services to such third party buyer shall be not be materially more burdensome to UTC, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives (either alone or in the aggregate with all other Services hereunder) than the provision of such applicable Services prior to such divestiture, including by requiring no greater amount or frequency of any such Services and being subject to no greater requirements or standards (other than the segregation of the services as contemplated above); provided, further, that under no

-28-

circumstances shall UTC be required to agree to provide any such applicable Services to such third party buyer if doing so would adversely impact (other than de minimis impacts) the cost, burden, liability or risk associated with providing such applicable Services compared to the cost, burden, liability and risk associated with providing such applicable Services to Carrier or Otis, as applicable, prior to such divestiture, or otherwise cause any other non-de minimis disruption to or adverse impact on the UTC Business.

Section 8.09.          Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Article VII with respect to the Service Provider Indemnitees and the Service Recipient Indemnitees in their respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any other Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder; and (b) there are no other third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any other Third Party with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.
 
Section 8.10.          Notices.  Except with respect to a Routine Communication (which shall be governed by Section 8.15), all notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and except as provided herein shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail (“e-mail”), so long as confirmation of receipt of such e-mail is requested and received, to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 8.10):

Section 8.11.         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.  Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.
 
Section 8.12.          Force Majeure.  No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligations is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure.  Without limiting the termination rights contained in this Agreement, in the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.  A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure, (a) provide written notice to the applicable other Parties of the nature and extent of such Force Majeure; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the date that the affected Party resumes analogous performance under any other agreement or for itself, its Affiliates or any Third Party) unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Article V or this Section 8.12.  Service Recipient shall be (i) relieved of the obligation to pay Charges for the affected Service(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure and (ii) entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) if the delay or failure in providing such Services because of a Force Majeure shall continue to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (it being understood that Service Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such termination to Service Provider).
 
Section 8.13.          Headings.  The Article, Section and Paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.14.          Waivers of Default.  Waiver by any Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving Party.  No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate
 
-30-

as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 8.15.           Dispute Resolution.
 
(a)           Prior to the First Effective Time, the Parties shall establish a committee (the “TSA Committee”) that shall initially consist of the six individuals set forth on Annex A hereto. Each of UTC, Carrier and Otis may replace any member of the TSA Committee appointed by such Party at any time upon notice to the other Parties in accordance with Section 8.10.  The TSA Committee shall be responsible for monitoring and managing all matters related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet monthly (or with such other frequency mutually agreed by each of the applicable Parties) for the purposes of reviewing and discussing cooperatively and in good faith the status of the Services, including any approaching terminations of Service Periods and the effective transition of Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.10, any Routine Communication shall be delivered via e-mail (with confirmation of receipt requested and received) to the members of the TSA Committee appointed by the relevant Party or Parties.  For all Routine Communications other than Routine Communications which are exclusively related to ordinary course payment or billing of a Service, a copy shall also be delivered via e-mail (with confirmation of receipt requested and received) to the Persons listed in Section 8.10 with respect to the relevant Party or Parties.  All decisions by the TSA Committee or any subcommittee thereof shall be effective only if mutually agreed by each of the applicable Parties implicated in the applicable matter.  The Parties shall utilize the procedures set forth in Section 8.15(b) to resolve any matters as to which the TSA Committee is not able to reach a decision.  In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim (a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise), calculation or allocation of the costs of any Service or otherwise arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the interpretation or validity of this Agreement), such Dispute shall be resolved by submitting such Dispute first to the TSA Committee, and the members of the TSA Committee from the Parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve such Dispute through informal good-faith negotiation.  In the event that the relevant members of the TSA Committee fail to meet, or if they meet and fail to resolve a Dispute within twenty (20) business days, then either Party involved in such Dispute may pursue the remedy set forth in Section 8.15(b).
 
(b)           If the procedures set forth in Section 8.15(a) have been followed with respect to a Dispute and such Dispute remains unresolved, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process referred to in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
 
(c)           In any Dispute regarding the amount of a Charge or a Termination Charge, if such Dispute is finally resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 8.15(a) or Section 8.15(b) and it is determined that the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, that Service Provider has invoiced Service Recipient, and that Service Recipient has paid to Service Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, should have been, then (i) if it is determined that Service Recipient has overpaid the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, Service Provider
 
-31-

shall within ten (10) days after such determination reimburse Service Recipient an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by Service Recipient to the time of reimbursement by Service Provider; and (ii) if it is determined that Service Recipient has underpaid the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, Service Recipient shall within ten (10) days after such determination reimburse Service Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date such payment originally should have been made by Service Recipient to the time of payment by Service Recipient.

Section 8.16.          Specific Performance.  Subject to Section 8.15, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) in respect of its rights or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived by each of the Parties.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Service Provider shall continue to provide Services and the Parties shall honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.15 and this Section 8.16 with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute; provided, however, that this obligation shall only exist during the term of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.17.          Amendments.  No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is sought.

Section 8.18.          Precedence of Schedules.  Each Schedule attached to or referenced in this Agreement is hereby incorporated into and shall form a part of this Agreement; provided, however, that the terms contained in such Schedule shall only apply with respect to the Services provided under that Schedule.  In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an individual Schedule and the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in the Schedule shall take precedence with respect to the Services under such Schedule only.  No terms contained in individual Schedules shall otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.19.          Interpretation.  In this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires; (b) the terms “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (c) Article, Section, Exhibit, Annex and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (d) unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes to such agreement; (e) the word “including” and words of

Section 8.20.          Mutual Drafting.  This Agreement shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the Parties and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

- 22 -

Transaction does not qualify for U.S. Tax-Free Status or (II) any Foreign Separation intended to have Foreign Tax-Free Status does not qualify for such status, then (2) UTC shall promptly notify Carrier and Otis in writing and, following such notice, each of the Parties shall report the Carrier Foreign Distribution and/or the Otis Foreign Distribution or such External Separation Transaction, Internal Distribution, Internal Separation Transaction, or Foreign Separation, as applicable, in the manner set forth in such notice (and shall not be permitted to take positions inconsistent with such notice).

Each SpinCo shall, and shall cause its applicable domestic subsidiaries to, enter into a new “gain recognition agreement” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8(b)(1)(iv) and (c)(5) with respect to each of the transfers notified in writing by UTC to such SpinCo within 180 days following the relevant Distribution Date in order to avoid the occurrence of any “triggering event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8(j) that would otherwise occur as a result of the Transactions.

then, upon the reasonable written request of, and at the expense of, the relevant Company, the other Companies, as relevant, shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) amend any Tax Returns of any member of such other Company Group(s), as applicable, to the extent such amendment would result in a corresponding or correlative reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by a member of such other Company Group(s) and shall promptly pay over any Tax Benefit actually realized in cash as a result of such amendment (determined on a “with or without” basis); provided, however, that no Company (or any Affiliates of any Company) shall (a) have any obligation to amend any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 4.11 to the extent doing so would have an adverse effect on such Company or any of its Affiliates that is material or (b) be obligated to make a payment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 4.11 to the extent making such payment would place such Company (or any of its Affiliates) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Company (or such Affiliate) would have been in if the relevant Tax Benefit had not been realized.  If a Company or one of its Affiliates pays over any amount pursuant to the preceding sentence and such Tax Benefit is subsequently disallowed or adjusted, the Parties shall promptly make appropriate payments (including in respect of any interest paid or imposed by any Tax Authority) to reflect such disallowance or adjustment.

(b)    If (i) (A) a member of the Carrier Group actually realizes in cash any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination or reporting required by clause (x) or clause (y) of Section 4.05(b), in each case, that increases Taxes for which a member of the UTC Group or Otis Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a member of the UTC Group or Otis Group) and such Tax Benefit would not have arisen but for such adjustment or reporting (determined on a “with and without” basis), (B) a member of the Otis Group actually realizes in cash any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination or reporting required by clause (x) or clause (y) of Section 4.05(b), in each case, that increases Taxes for which a member of the UTC Group or Carrier Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a member of the UTC Group or Carrier Group) and such Tax Benefit would

not have arisen but for such adjustment or reporting (determined on a “with and without” basis), or (C) a member of the UTC Group actually realizes in cash any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination or reporting required by clause (x) or clause (y) of Section 4.05(b), in each case, that increases Taxes for which a member of any SpinCo Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a member of any SpinCo Group) and such Tax Benefit would not have arisen but for such adjustment or reporting (determined on a “with and without” basis), and (ii) the aggregate Tax Benefit realized or realizable by such member of such SpinCo Group or such member of the UTC Group, as applicable, as a result of such adjustment or reporting would reasonably be expected to exceed $5 million, then, such SpinCo or UTC, as the case may be, shall make a payment to UTC, Otis, or Carrier, as appropriate, within 30 days following such actual realization of the Tax Benefit, in an amount equal to such Tax Benefit actually realized in cash (including any Tax Benefit actually realized as a result of the payment); provided, however, that no Company (or any Affiliates of any Company) shall be obligated to make a payment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 6.01(b) to the extent making such payment would place such Company (or any of its Affiliates) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Company (or such Affiliate) would have been in if the relevant Tax Benefit had not been realized.  If a Company or one of its Affiliates pays over any amount pursuant to the preceding sentence and such Tax Benefit is subsequently disallowed or adjusted, the Parties shall promptly make appropriate payments (including in respect of any interest paid or imposed by any Tax Authority) to reflect such disallowance or adjustment.

(c)    No later than 30 days after a Tax Benefit described in Section 6.01(b) is actually realized in cash by a member of the UTC Group or a member of a SpinCo Group, UTC (if a member of the UTC Group actually realizes such Tax Benefit) or such SpinCo (if a member of a SpinCo Group actually realizes such Tax Benefit) shall provide the other Company (or Companies) with a written calculation of the amount payable to such other Company (or Companies) by UTC or such SpinCo pursuant to this Section 6.  In the event that UTC or any SpinCo disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 6.01(c), UTC or such SpinCo shall so notify the other Company (or Companies) in writing within 30 days of receiving the written calculation set forth above in this Section 6.01(c).  UTC, Carrier, and/or Otis, as applicable, shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such disagreement, and, failing that, the amount payable under this Section 6 shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 as promptly as practicable.
 
(d)    Carrier shall be entitled to any refund that is attributable to, and would not have arisen but for, a Carrier Carryback pursuant to the proviso set forth in Section 4.08(a); provided, however, that Carrier shall indemnify and hold the members of the UTC Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Carrier Carryback, including (but not limited to) the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the UTC Group or an Affiliate thereof if (x) such Tax Attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carrier Carryback, or (y) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later Tax Period than the Tax Period in which such Tax Attributes would have been utilized but for such Carrier Carryback.  Any such payment of such refund made by UTC to Carrier pursuant to this Section 6.01(d) shall be recalculated in light of any Final Determination (or any other facts that may arise or come to light after such payment is made, such as a carryback of a UTC Group Tax Attribute to a Tax Period in respect of which such refund is received) that would affect the amount to which Carrier

Section 9.01          Retention of Tax Records.  Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for the relevant Pre-Deconsolidation Period(s), and UTC shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for the relevant Pre-Deconsolidation Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (a) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (b) seven years after the relevant Deconsolidation Date (such later date, the “Retention Date”).  After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the other Companies.  If, prior to the Retention Date, a Company reasonably determines that any Tax Records that it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section 9 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Companies agree, then such first Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 90 days’ prior notice to the other Companies.  Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail the files, books, or other records being disposed.  The notified Companies shall have the opportunity, at their cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 90-day period, all or any part of such Tax Records.
 
Section 9.02          Access to Tax Records.  The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records for Pre-Deconsolidation Periods to the extent reasonably required by the other Companies in connection with the preparation of financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.
 
Section 10.         Tax Contests.
 
Section 10.01         Notice.  Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other(s) of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest for which it may be entitled to indemnification by the other Company or Companies hereunder.  Such notice shall include copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable
 
- 45 -

detail.  The failure of one Company to notify the other(s) of such communication in accordance with the immediately preceding sentences shall not relieve either of the other Companies of any liability or obligation to pay such Tax or make indemnification payments under this Agreement, except to the extent that the failure timely to provide such notification actually prejudices the ability of such other Company to contest such Tax liability or increases the amount of such Tax liability.

Section 10.02          Control of Tax Contests.
 
(a)          Separate Company Taxes and Joint Returns with Respect to Other Taxes.  In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any (i) Separate Return or (ii) Joint Return with respect to Other Taxes, the Company having liability for the Tax shall have exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 10.02(e).
 
(b)          UTC Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return and UTC State Combined Income Tax Return.  In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any UTC Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return or UTC State Combined Income Tax Return, UTC shall have exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 10.02(e)(i).
 
(c)          UTC Foreign Combined Income Tax Return. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any UTC Foreign Combined Income Tax Return, UTC shall have exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 10.02(e)(i).
 
(d)          Other Joint Returns.  In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Joint Return (other than any UTC Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return, UTC State Combined Income Tax Return, UTC Foreign Combined Income Tax Return, or Joint Return with respect to Other Taxes), (i) UTC shall control the defense or prosecution of the portion of the Tax Contest, if any, directly and exclusively related to any UTC Adjustment, including settlement of any such UTC Adjustment, (ii) Carrier shall control the defense or prosecution of the portion of the Tax Contest, if any, directly and exclusively related to any Carrier Adjustment, including settlement of any such Carrier Adjustment, (iii) Otis shall control the defense or prosecution of the portion of the Tax Contest, if any, directly and exclusively related to the Otis Adjustment, including settlement of any such Otis Adjustment, and (iv) the relevant Companies shall jointly control the defense or prosecution of Joint Adjustments and any and all administrative matters not directly and exclusively related to any UTC Adjustment or SpinCo Adjustment.  In the event of any disagreement regarding any matter described in clause (iv), the provisions of Section 14 shall apply.
 
(e)          Separation-Related and Certain Other Tax Contests.
 
(i) In the event of any:
 
(A) (x) Separation-Related Tax Contest as a result of which Carrier and/or Otis (the “Responsible SpinCo(s)”) could reasonably be expected to become

(f)           Power of Attorney.  Carrier shall (and shall cause each member of the Carrier Group to) execute and deliver to UTC (or such member of the UTC Group as UTC shall designate) or Otis (or such member of the Otis Group as Otis shall designate), as applicable, any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by UTC (or such designee) or Otis (or such designee), respectively, in connection with any Tax Contest controlled by UTC or Otis, respectively, described in this Section 10.  Otis shall (and shall cause each member of the Otis Group to) execute and deliver to UTC (or such member of the UTC Group as UTC shall designate) or Carrier (or such member of the Carrier Group as Carrier shall designate), as applicable, any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by UTC (or such designee) or Carrier (or such designee), respectively, in connection with any Tax Contest controlled by UTC or Carrier, respectively, described in this Section 10.
 
Section 11.         Effective Date; Termination of Prior Intercompany Tax Allocation Agreements.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Time.
 
Section 11.01         As of the Carrier Effective Time, (a) all prior intercompany Tax allocation agreements or arrangements solely between or among UTC and/or any of its Subsidiaries (including for this purpose, members of the Otis Group if the Otis Effective Time shall not yet have occurred, but excluding members of the Carrier Group), on the one hand, and Carrier and/or
 
- 48 -

members of the Carrier Group, on the other hand, shall be terminated, and (b) amounts due under such agreements or arrangements as of the date on which the Carrier Effective Time occurs shall be settled.  Upon such termination and settlement, no further payments by or to UTC or such Subsidiaries or by or to Carrier or such members of the Carrier Group, with respect to such agreements or arrangements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting from such agreements or arrangements shall cease at such time.  Any payments pursuant to such agreements shall be disregarded for purposes of computing amounts due under this Agreement; provided, that to the extent appropriate, as determined by UTC, payments made pursuant to such agreements or arrangements shall be credited to Carrier or UTC, respectively, in computing their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in the event that such payments relate to a Tax liability that is the subject matter of this Agreement for a Tax Period that is the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 11.02          As of the Otis Effective Time, (a) all prior intercompany Tax allocation agreements or arrangements solely between or among UTC and/or any of its Subsidiaries (including for this purpose, members of the Carrier Group if the Carrier Effective Time shall not yet have occurred, but excluding members of the Otis Group), on the one hand, and Otis and/or members of the Otis Group, on the other hand, shall be terminated, and (b) amounts due under such agreements or arrangements as of the date on which the Otis Effective Time occurs shall be settled.  Upon such termination and settlement, no further payments by or to UTC or such Subsidiaries or by or to Otis or such members of the Otis Group, with respect to such agreements or arrangements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting from such agreements or arrangements shall cease at such time.  Any payments pursuant to such agreements or arrangements shall be disregarded for purposes of computing amounts due under this Agreement; provided, that to the extent appropriate, as determined by UTC, payments made pursuant to such agreements or arrangements shall be credited to Otis or UTC, respectively, in computing their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in the event that such payments relate to a Tax liability that is the subject matter of this Agreement for a Tax Period that is the subject matter of this Agreement.
 
Section 12.         Survival of Obligations.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.
 
Section 13.         Treatment of Payments; Tax Gross Up.
 
Section 13.01        Treatment of Tax Indemnity and Tax Benefit Payments.  In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, for all Income Tax purposes, the Companies agree to treat, and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat, (a) any indemnity payment required by this Agreement or by the Separation and Distribution Agreement to be made (i) by UTC to a SpinCo as a contribution by UTC to the relevant SpinCo and (ii) by a SpinCo to UTC as a distribution by the relevant SpinCo to UTC, in each case, occurring immediately prior to the relevant Distribution with respect to such SpinCo; and (b) any payment of interest or State Income Taxes by or to a Tax Authority, as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Company entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment.  The Parties shall cooperate in good faith (including, where relevant, by using commercially reasonable efforts to establish local payment
 
- 49 -

arrangements between each Party’s Subsidiaries) to minimize or eliminate, to the extent permissible under applicable law, any Tax that would otherwise be imposed with respect to any payment required by this Agreement or by the Separation and Distribution Agreement (or maximize the ability to obtain a credit for, or refund of, any such Tax).

Section 13.02         Tax Gross Up.  If notwithstanding the manner in which payments described in Section 13.01(a) were reported, there is a Tax liability or an adjustment to a Tax liability of a Company as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement, such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by the amount of all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment that the Company receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
Section 13.03         Interest.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Company makes a payment of interest to another Company under this Agreement with respect to the period from (a) the date that the payor was required to make a payment to the payee to (b) the date that the payor actually made such payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the payor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by the payee (includible in income to the extent provided by law).  The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the payor or increase in Tax to the payee.
 
Section 14.         Disagreements.  The Companies desire that collaboration will continue among them.  Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in good faith all disagreements regarding their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto.  In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (a “Tax Advisor Dispute”) between any member of the UTC Group and any member of any SpinCo Group (or between any member of the Carrier Group and any member of the Otis Group) as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder, representatives of the Tax departments of the relevant Companies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Tax Advisor Dispute.  If such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Tax Advisor Dispute, then such Tax Advisor Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement; provided, that each of the mediators or arbitrators selected in accordance with Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement must be Tax Advisors.  Nothing in this Section 14 will prevent any Company from seeking injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Tax Advisor Dispute through the procedures set forth in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement could result in serious and irreparable injury to such Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, UTC, Carrier, and Otis are the only members of their respective Groups entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of UTC, Carrier, and Otis will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such Party as provided in this Section 14.
 
- 50 -

Section 15.         Late Payments.  Any amount owed by one Party to another Party under this Agreement that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid.
 
Section 16.         Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.
 
Section 17.         General Provisions.
 
Section 17.01          Addresses and Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and except as provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail (“e-mail”), so long as confirmation of receipt of such e-mail is requested and received, to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 17.01):

Section 17.03        Waiver.  Waiver by a Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of any other Party.  No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
 
Section 17.04        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.  Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.
 
Section 17.05        Authority.  UTC represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the UTC Group, Carrier represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Carrier Group and Otis represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Otis Group, as follows:

(b)    this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
Section 17.06        Further Action.  Prior to, on, and after the First Effective Time, each Party hereto shall cooperate with the other Parties, at the expense of the requesting Party, to execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including the execution and delivery to the other Parties and their Affiliates and representatives of such powers of attorney or other authorizing documentation as is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with Tax Contests (or portions thereof) under the control of such other Parties in accordance with Section 10, and to make all filings with any Governmental Authority, and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Parties from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
 
Section 17.07        Integration.  This Agreement, together with each of the exhibits and schedules appended hereto, contain the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings among the Parties other than those set forth herein and in
 
- 52 -

the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements.  This Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, and the other Ancillary Agreements together govern the arrangements in connection with the Separation and the Distributions and would not have been entered independently.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any other agreements relating to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, with respect to matters addressed herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall control (it being understood that the terms pursuant to which any transition services related to Tax matters shall be provided under the Transition Services Agreement shall be governed by the Transition Services Agreement).

Section 17.09        No Double Recovery.  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to provide an indemnity or other recovery for any costs, damages, or other amounts for which the damaged Party has been fully compensated under any other provision of this Agreement or under any other agreement or action at law or equity.  Unless expressly required in this Agreement, a Party shall not be required to exhaust all remedies available under other agreements or at law or equity before recovering under the remedies provided in this Agreement.
 
Section 17.10        Counterparts.  Each Party acknowledges that it and each other Party may execute this Agreement by facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement (whether executed by manual, stamp or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (PDF) shall be effective as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Each Party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (PDF)) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Party at any time, it will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause this Agreement to be manually executed (any such execution to be as of the date of the initial date thereof) and delivered in person, by mail or by courier.
 
Section 17.11        Governing Law.  This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby or to the inducement of any Party to enter herein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the State of Delaware including all matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies.
 
Section 17.12          Amendment.  No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or
 
- 53 -

modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representatives of the Parties against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification; provided, that from the First Effective Time to the Second Effective Time, provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified (a) if the Carrier Distribution occurs prior to the Otis Distribution, without the consent of Carrier, so long as such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification does not adversely affect in any material respect any provisions of, or obligations under, this Agreement that are for the benefit of Carrier, or materially prejudice or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect any rights of Carrier or any member of its Group under this Agreement and (b) if the Otis Distribution occurs prior to the Carrier Distribution, without the consent of Otis, so long as such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification does not adversely affect in any material respect any provisions of, or obligations under, this Agreement that are for the benefit of Otis or materially prejudice or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect any rights of Otis or any member of its Group under this Agreement.

Section 17.13        SpinCo Subsidiaries.  If, at any time, either Carrier or Otis acquires or creates one or more subsidiaries that are includable in the Carrier Group or the Otis Group, respectively, they shall be subject to this Agreement and all references to the Carrier Group or the Otis Group, as applicable, herein shall thereafter include a reference to such subsidiaries.
 
Section 17.14        Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of any successor by merger, acquisition of assets, or otherwise, to any of the Parties (including but not limited to any successor of UTC, Carrier, or Otis succeeding to the Tax Attributes of either under Section 381 of the Code), to the same extent as if such successor had been an original Party to this Agreement.
 
Section 17.15         Injunctions.  Subject to the provisions of Section 14, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

-34-

Retained Deferred Compensation Plan to such participant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (b) the UTC Adjustment Ratio.  Prior to the Effective Time, UTC shall provide Carrier with a list of Carrier Group Employees and Otis with a list of Otis Group Employees, in each case, who are participants in the UTC Retained Deferred Compensation Plans.  If an Otis Group Employee on such list terminates employment with the Otis Group, Otis shall, or shall cause a member of the Otis Group to, provide written notice to UTC of such employee’s termination of employment within twenty (20) days of such employee’s termination of employment.  If a Carrier Group Employee on such list terminates employment with the Carrier Group, Carrier shall, or shall cause a member of the Carrier Group to, provide written notice to UTC of such employee’s termination of employment within twenty (20) days of such employee’s termination of employment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Carrier shall be liable, and shall reimburse UTC, for any Liabilities of UTC arising with respect to the UTC Retained Deferred Compensation Plans as a result of any failure by a member of the Carrier Group to provide proper notice of an employment termination that directly results in the inability of UTC to administer the UTC Retained Deferred Compensation Plans in compliance with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Carrier Group Employee who participated thereunder, and (ii) Otis shall be liable, and shall reimburse UTC, for any Liabilities of UTC arising with respect to the UTC Retained Deferred Compensation Plans as a result of any failure by a member of the Otis Group to provide proper notice of an employment termination that directly results in the inability of UTC to administer the UTC Retained Deferred Compensation Plans in compliance with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Otis Group Employee who participated thereunder.
 
Section 6.02.       UTC Bifurcated Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.  As of no later than the Effective Time, Carrier shall establish the Carrier Deferred Compensation Plans and Otis shall establish the Otis Deferred Compensation Plans, which plans shall have substantially the same terms as of immediately prior to the Effective Time as the UTC Bifurcated Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.  Carrier and Otis may make such changes, modifications or amendments to the Carrier Deferred Compensation Plans and the Otis Deferred Compensation Plans, respectively, as may be required by applicable Law or as are necessary and appropriate to reflect the Separation, it being understood that any such changes, modifications or amendments shall not result in benefits that are less favorable than those provided under the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans to participants in the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
(a)         Assumption of Liabilities in General.  As of the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02(b), Carrier shall, and shall cause the Carrier Deferred Compensation Plans, and Otis shall, and shall cause the Otis Deferred Compensation Plans, to assume all Liabilities under the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans for the benefits of Carrier Group Employees and Former Carrier Group Employees and Otis Group Employees and Former Otis Group Employees, respectively, determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the UTC Group and the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans shall be relieved of all Liabilities for those benefits.  UTC shall, or shall cause a member of the UTC Group to, assume and retain all Liabilities under the UTC Bifurcated Compensation Plans for the benefits of UTC Group Employees and Former UTC Group Employees.  On and after the Effective Time, Carrier Group Employees, Former Carrier Group Employees, Otis Group Employees, and Former Otis Group Employees shall cease to be participants in the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans.

(c)         Adjustment of UTC Shares.  All UTC Shares notionally credited to a participant’s accounts under any of the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time (including as a UTC PSU Award deferred under the UTC PSU LTIP Deferral Plan or a UTC deferred stock unit credited under the UTC Savings Restoration Plan or UTC Deferred Compensation Plan) shall be adjusted from and after the Effective Time so that with respect to a participant in the UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plans immediately following the Effective Time, the number of UTC Shares notionally credited as of the Effective Time under a UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plan shall be equal to the product, rounded  to three decimal places, obtained by multiplying (A) the number of UTC Shares notionally credited under such UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the UTC Adjustment Ratio, (i) with respect to a participant in the Carrier Deferred Compensation Plans immediately following the Effective Time, the number of Carrier Shares notionally credited as of the Effective Time under a Carrier Deferred Compensation Plan shall be equal to the product, rounded to three decimal places, obtained by multiplying (A) the number of UTC Shares notionally credited under such UTC Bifurcated Deferred Compensation Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Carrier Adjustment Ratio and (ii) with respect to a participant in the Otis Deferred Compensation Plans immediately following the Effective Time, the number of Otis Shares notionally credited as of the Effective Time under an Otis Deferred Compensation Plan shall be equal to the product, rounded to three decimal places, obtained by multiplying (A) the number of UTC Shares notionally credited under such UTC Deferred Compensation Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Otis Adjustment Ratio.
 
(d)       Investment Alternatives.  As of no later than the Effective Time, the Carrier Savings Restoration Plan shall provide that (i) distributions from the Carrier stock fund shall be in cash and not in kind and (ii) an amount equal to the value of notional Carrier Shares held in a participant’s Carrier stock fund account may, at the election of the applicable participant, be notionally invested in any other investment alternative available under the Carrier Savings Restoration Plan.  As of no later than the Effective Time, the Otis Savings Restoration Plan shall provide that (i) distributions from the Otis stock fund shall be in cash and not in kind and (ii) an amount equal to the value of notional Otis Shares held in a participant’s Otis stock fund account may, at the election of the applicable participant, be notionally invested in any other investment alternative available under the Otis Savings Restoration Plan.

Exhibit 99.1

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the COSO in 2013. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Raytheon Company

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Changes in Accounting Principles

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019 and the manner in which it accounts for certain stranded tax effects impacting accumulated other comprehensive income in 2018.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

1

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition - Contract Estimates at Completion

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the vast majority of the Company’s revenues of $29.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 are from long-term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture or modification of complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services. The Company generally recognizes revenue over time as it performs on its contractual performance obligations because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract by contract basis. These variables and significant judgments may include assumptions related to the estimated award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price, outstanding key contract matters, progress toward completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities including the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events) and technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by the Company’s subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from the customer, overhead cost rates, the estimated cost of satisfying the Company’s industrial cooperation agreements required under certain contracts and the likelihood of obtaining required regulatory approvals based upon all known facts and circumstances.

2

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition - contract estimates at completion is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in developing their estimates of total revenue and total costs at completion, including significant judgments and assumptions related to the applicable aforementioned variables on a contract by contract basis. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s estimates of total revenue and total cost at completion for contracts.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the determination of total revenue and total costs at completion. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the estimated total revenue and total costs at completion for selected contractual performance obligations. This included evaluating the reasonableness of certain significant judgments and assumptions made by management by understanding the nature and status of the selected contract and related performance obligations, in certain instances performing retrospective reviews of contract estimates and changes in estimates over time, evaluating evidence to support selected estimated costs to complete, and inquiring of program management as to the reasonableness of the significant judgments and assumptions made by management related to the applicable aforementioned variables to support the estimates of total revenue and total costs at completion used to determine revenue recognized for the contracts selected for testing.

Pensions - Long-term Return on Plan Assets and Discount Rate Assumptions

As described in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the total projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans was $29.0 billion as of December 31, 2019 and the total net periodic pension benefit cost was $1.1 billion for the year then ended. The Company’s long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining the net periodic pension benefit cost and the projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans. To establish the long-term return on plan assets assumption, management employs a “building block” approach. Management then annually considers whether it is appropriate to change its long-term return on plan assets assumption by reviewing the existing assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon management’s asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle the Company’s pension obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of high-quality bonds for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each pension plan.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions for pensions is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in determining the net periodic pension benefit cost and projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans including the expected long-term return on plan assets and the discount rate assumptions. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the determination of the net periodic pension benefit cost and the projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans, including controls over the expected long-term return on plan assets and the discount rate assumptions. These procedures also included, among other, testing management’s process for developing the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions. This included utilizing professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in the evaluation of the reasonableness of management’s long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions by evaluating the appropriateness of the building block approach used by management as well as assessing the appropriateness of the bond portfolio model and data used in management’s bond portfolio models. This also included comparing management’s capital market expectations to the Company’s historical returns, testing of management’s asset allocation assumptions, evaluating the reasonableness of management’s expectations of future investment performance and comparing associated discount rates determined by management with the bond portfolios used by management to independent yield curves.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation and Classification—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Raytheon Company, and all wholly-owned, majority-owned and otherwise controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. For classification of certain current assets and liabilities, we use the duration of the related contract or program as our operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. In addition, we reclassified certain amounts to conform to our current period presentation. As used in these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Raytheon” and the “Company” mean Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach as discussed below in Accounting Standards. We reclassified certain balance sheet amounts to conform to our current period presentation.

Use of Estimates—Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition—The vast majority of our revenues are from long-term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture or modification of complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services. These contracts primarily are with the U.S. government (including foreign military sales contracted through the U.S. government). Our contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer.

Under the typical payment terms of our U.S. government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays us either performance-based payments (PBPs) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments equal to a negotiated percentage of the contract price based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments up to 80% of costs incurred as the work progresses. Because the customer retains a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, our U.S. government fixed-price contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which we present as contract assets on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For our U.S. government cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays us for our actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For non-U.S. government contracts, we typically receive interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. We recognize a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as contract liabilities on the balance sheet. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.

10

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts for complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability (even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Less commonly, however, we may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, for example when a contract covers multiple phases of the product lifecycle (e.g., development, production, maintenance and support), in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We infrequently sell standard products with observable standalone sales. In cases where we do, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. More frequently, we sell a customized customer specific solution, and in these cases we typically use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For certain contracts that meet the foregoing requirements, primarily international direct commercial sale contracts, we are required to obtain certain regulatory approvals. In these cases, we recognize revenue based on the likelihood of obtaining regulatory approvals based upon all known facts and circumstances.

We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform on our contractual performance obligations because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For U.S. government contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Similarly, for non-U.S. government contracts, the customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit to deliver products or services that do not have an alternative use to the Company.

Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs including pension and any other postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion (the process described below in more detail) is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract by contract basis. It is common for our long-term contracts to contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.

We have a companywide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management’s judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes in the form of either offset obligations or in-country industrial participation (ICIP) agreements, required under certain contracts. These obligations may or may not be distinct depending on their nature.

Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned on a performance obligation related to complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services, or product maintenance or separately priced extended warranty, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is identified.

Amounts reflect a U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%, which became effective in 2018 with the adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Act).

In addition, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $709 million, $636 million and $520 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This primarily relates to EAC adjustments that impacted revenue.

We also sell security software through our Forcepoint business segment. For the majority of these arrangements, we recognize revenue over the term of the agreement because the software requires continuous updates to provide the intended security functionality. To a lesser extent in all of our business segments, we enter into other types of contracts including service arrangements and non-subscription software and licensing agreements. We recognize revenue for these arrangements over time or at a point in time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. For software arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, including hardware, perpetual software licenses, subscriptions, term licenses and maintenance and/or services, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates of the price that we would charge the customer for each promised product or service if it were sold on a standalone basis.

Certain events have caused increased attention on U.S. defense sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). KSA represents less than 5% of our sales and $2.9 billion of our remaining performance obligations at December 31, 2019. Although we currently do not expect to be prevented from doing business in KSA, if government action impairs our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations or otherwise to continue to do business in KSA, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Research and Development Expenses—Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and have primarily been for product development for the U.S. government. Expenditures for Company-sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred, and were $732 million, $841 million and $700 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Customer-sponsored research and development projects performed under contracts are accounted for as contract costs as the work is performed and included in receivables, net or contract assets in our consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether costs have been billed or not.

Federal, Foreign and State Income Taxes—The Company and its domestic subsidiaries provide for federal income taxes on pretax accounting income at rates in effect under existing tax law. Foreign subsidiaries record provisions for income taxes at applicable foreign tax rates in a similar manner. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. The Company provides for a U.S. tax liability on outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries related to earnings which have been previously taxed in the U.S. and undistributed earnings generated after December 31, 2017. This U.S. deferred tax liability generally relates to foreign currency movement. The Company also records foreign withholding taxes applicable to distributions of foreign earnings. The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment on outside basis differences related to all other items, such as acquisition accounting adjustments prior to January 1, 2018. With the exception of Forcepoint, payments made for state income taxes are included in administrative and selling expenses as these costs can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government in the period in which the tax is payable. Accordingly, the state income tax provision (benefit) is allocated to contracts when it is paid (recovered) or otherwise agreed as allocable with the U.S. government. Payments made for state income taxes related to Forcepoint are included in federal and foreign income tax expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Other (Income) Expense, Net—Other (income) expense, net, consists primarily of gains and losses from our investments held in trusts used to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation and employee benefit plans, gains and losses on the early repurchase of long-term debt and certain financing fees. Periodically we enter into equity method or other investments that are not related to our core operations, including investments in early stage technology companies. We record the income or loss from these investments as a component of other (income) expense, net. We record losses beyond the carrying amount of the investment only when we guarantee obligations of the investee or commit to provide the investee further financial support.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value due to their short maturities. Cash and cash equivalents excludes $6 million and $16 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which for purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, is included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

Short-term Investments—We may invest in marketable securities in accordance with our short-term investment policy and cash management strategy. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. These investments are deemed Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is determined under a market approach using valuation models that utilize observable inputs, including maturity date, issue date, settlements date and current rates. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no short-term investments as all short-term investments outstanding at December 31, 2017 matured in the first quarter of 2018. We did not have any sales of short-term investments in 2019 or 2018. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, we determine cost on a specific identification basis.

Receivables, Net—Receivables, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable.

Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of its cost (first-in, first-out or average cost) or net realizable value. An impairment for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based upon an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, future sales expectations and salvage value.

Inventories consisted of the following at December 31:

Precontract costs are costs incurred to fulfill a contract prior to contract award. Precontract costs, including general and administrative expenses that are specifically chargeable to the customer, are deferred in inventories if we determine that the costs are probable of recovery under a specific anticipated contract. All other precontract costs, including start-up costs, are expensed as incurred. Costs that are deferred are recognized as contract costs upon the receipt of the anticipated contract. We included deferred precontract costs of $182 million and $163 million in inventories as work in process at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Deferred Commissions—Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of sales commissions primarily for our security software sales at Forcepoint, are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance or a longer period, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. We classify deferred commissions as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions of deferred commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other assets, net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. At both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had deferred commissions of $55 million. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions was $26 million, $45 million and $28 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net—Property, plant and equipment, net, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed. We include gains and losses on the sales of plant and equipment that are allocable to our contracts in overhead as we generally can recover these costs through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. For all other sales or asset retirements, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating income.

Provisions for depreciation generally are computed using a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods and are based on estimated useful lives as follows:
 
   
Years
 
Machinery and equipment
   
3–10
 
Buildings
   
20–45
 
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Leases—We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease at inception. For lease agreements with both lease and nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs), we account for the nonlease components separately. Consideration is allocated to the lease and nonlease components based on the estimated standalone prices.

All of our existing leases are operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. For the majority of our leases, the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date, as the implicit rate is not readily determinable. The operating lease right-of-use assets also includes any initial direct costs and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and is reduced for any unrestricted incentives received at or before the commencement date.

Some of our leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. We include these options in the recognition of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Very few of our leases include variable lease-related payments, such as escalation clauses based on consumer price index (CPI) rates, or residual guarantees. Variable payments that are based on an index or a rate are included in the recognition of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at lease commencement; however, changes to these lease payments due to rate or index updates are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Amounts probable of payment under residual guarantees are also included in the recognition of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets—We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We perform our annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter utilizing a two-step methodology that requires us to first identify potential goodwill impairment and then measure the amount of the related goodwill impairment loss, if any. We have identified our operating segments as reporting units under the impairment test assessment criteria outlined in U.S. GAAP. In performing our annual impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2019, 2018 and 2017 we did not identify any goodwill impairment.

We determine whether long-lived assets are to be held for use or disposal. Upon indication of possible impairment of long-lived assets held for use, we evaluate the recoverability of such assets by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is adjusted to its estimated fair value. In order for long-lived assets to be considered held for disposal, we must have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Once deemed held for disposal, the assets are stated at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value.

Computer Software, Net—Internal use computer software, net, included in other assets, net, which consists primarily of our enterprisewide software solutions, is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, generally 10 years. Computer software development costs related to software products developed for external use are capitalized, when significant, after establishment of technological feasibility and marketability. There have been no such costs capitalized to date as the costs incurred during the period between technological feasibility to general release have not been significant.

Contract Liabilities—Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. We may also receive up-front payments related to software license sales primarily for Forcepoint, which in most cases we recognize ratably over the license term. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as current, and deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is included in accrued retiree benefits and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. If additional advances are received on those contracts in subsequent periods, we assume all revenue recognized in the reporting period first applies to the beginning contract liability as opposed to a portion applying to the new advances for the period.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests—Redeemable noncontrolling interest is recognized at the greater of the estimated redemption value as of the balance sheet date or the initial value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holder’s share of the cumulative impact of net income (loss), other changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and additional contributions. Adjustments to the redemption value over the period from the date of acquisition to the redemption date are immediately recorded to retained earnings. We reflect the redemption value adjustments in the earnings per share (EPS) calculation if redemption value is in excess of the fair value of noncontrolling interest which resulted in a $0.01 favorable impact to both basic and diluted EPS in 2018. There was no impact to basic or diluted EPS in 2019 or 2017 related to the redemption value adjustments.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Other comprehensive income (loss) includes gains and losses associated with pension and PRB plans, foreign exchange translation adjustments, gains and losses on derivative instruments qualified as cash flow hedges included in the assessment of effectiveness, and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments. The computation of other comprehensive income (loss) and its components are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In the first quarter of 2018, we reclassified the stranded tax effects related to the enactment of the 2017 Act from accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) to retained earnings in accordance with ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. These stranded tax effects related to the deferred tax amounts at December 31, 2017 recorded through other comprehensive income prior to the enactment date using the prior 35% statutory tax rate that remained in other comprehensive income despite the fact that the related deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the newly enacted tax rate of 21%. See Accounting Standards, below, for additional details.

Other material amounts reclassified out of AOCL related to the amortization of net actuarial loss associated with our pension plans were $1,050 million, $1,351 million and $1,177 million before tax in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This component of AOCL is included in the calculation of net periodic pension expense (income). See “Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits” for additional details.

We expect $3 million net of tax of net unrealized gains on our cash flow hedges at December 31, 2019 to be reclassified into earnings at then-current values over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions occur.

Translation of Foreign Currencies—Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and the effects of these translation adjustments are reported as a component of AOCL in equity. Prior to the enactment of the 2017 Act, deferred taxes were not recognized for translation-related temporary differences of foreign subsidiaries as their undistributed earnings were considered to be indefinitely reinvested. After the enactment of the 2017 Act, we no longer assert indefinite reinvestment on our foreign subsidiaries outside basis differences generated after December 31, 2017. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses associated with the subsidiary’s net assets, including unremitted earnings, represent translation gains and losses that are reported as part of other comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, the deferred tax effect of the translation gains and losses are also recorded through other comprehensive income (loss) after December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2019, we had a cumulative translation loss on the unremitted earnings, and therefore, have not recorded a deferred tax asset as it is not likely that the asset will be realized in the future. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate during the period.

Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in 2019, 2018 and 2017 were not material.

Treasury Stock—Repurchased shares are retired immediately upon repurchase. We account for treasury stock under the cost method. Upon retirement the excess over par value is charged against additional paid-in capital until reduced to zero, with the remainder recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (PRB) Costs—We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees hired before January 1, 2007, including certain employees in foreign countries. We calculate our pension costs as required under U.S. GAAP, and the calculations and assumptions utilized require judgment. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes. Pension and PRB expense is split between operating income and non-operating income, where only the service cost component is included in operating income and the non-service components are included in retirement benefits non-service expense. For purposes of determining retirement benefits non-service expense under U.S. GAAP, a calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a three-year period. Under U.S. GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10% of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) or the calculated “market-related value” of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) pension expense.

18

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

We recognize the funded status of a postretirement benefit plan (defined benefit pension and other benefits) as an asset or liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Funded status represents the difference between the PBO of the plan and the market value of the plan’s assets. Previously unrecognized deferred amounts such as demographic or asset gains or losses and the impact of historical plan changes are included in AOCL. Changes in these amounts in future years will be reflected through AOCL and amortized in future pension expense generally over the estimated average remaining employee service period.

Derivative Financial Instruments—We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the foreign currency exchange rates on specific commitments, payments and receipts denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency forward contracts are transaction driven and relate directly to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which commitments are in place. We execute these instruments with financial institutions that we judge to be credit-worthy. The majority of our foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We designate most foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies. For foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualified for cash flow hedge accounting, we record the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative in AOCL, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged revenue or cost of sales transaction affects earnings. Realized gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying transactions being hedged. We classify the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. To a lesser extent, we have gains and losses on derivatives not designated for hedge accounting or representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, which are recognized currently in net sales or cost of sales.

The aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,487 million and $1,772 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The net notional exposure of these contracts was $746 million and $840 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2019 have maturities at various dates through 2030 as follows: $922 million in 2020; $315 million in 2021; $122 million in 2022; and $128 million thereafter.

We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of asset derivatives included in other assets, net and liability derivatives included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets related to foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

The fair value of these derivatives is Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because they are determined based on a market approach utilizing externally quoted foreign currency forward rates for similar contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts contain offset or netting provisions to mitigate credit risk in the event of counterparty default, including payment default and cross default. We measure and record the impact of counterparty credit risk into our valuation and at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of our counterparty default exposure was less than $1 million and was spread across numerous highly rated counterparties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

We may also enter into pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with our fixed-rate financing obligations. We account for our interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of a portion of our fixed-rate financing obligations, and accordingly record gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these swaps in interest expense, along with the offsetting gains and losses on the fair value adjustment of the hedged portion of our fixed-rate financing obligations. We also record in interest expense the net amount paid or received under the swap for the period and the amortization of gain or loss from the early termination of interest rate swaps. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

We may also enter into and designate treasury rate lock contracts as cash flow hedges to reduce variability in cash flows due to changes in interest payments attributable to increases or decreases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of long-term debt. Cash flows associated with these instruments are presented in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged item. In May 2019, prior to entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with United Technologies Corporation (UTC), we entered into treasury rate lock contracts with a notional amount of $375 million. These treasury rate lock contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and were included in the assessment of effectiveness. However, in the fourth quarter of 2019 a decision was made to not issue the debt due to merger-related considerations, and these treasury rate locks were settled without the issuance of debt. We recognized the $17 million loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income at the time of settlement in other (income) expense, net. There were no treasury rate lock contracts outstanding at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Fair Values—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:

Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:
Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or that we corroborate with observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3:
Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of marketable securities held in trusts and foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Fair value information for those assets and liabilities, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy, is included in “Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits” (for marketable securities held in trusts) and Derivative Financial Instruments, above (for foreign currency forward contracts). Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. We did not have any significant nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. We did not have any material amounts of Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Earnings per Share (EPS)—We compute basic EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by dividing income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, and net income attributable to Raytheon Company, by our weighted-average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, as described below, during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in our earnings. We compute basic and diluted EPS using actual income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders and net income attributable to Raytheon Company, and our actual weighted-average shares outstanding rather than the numbers presented within our consolidated financial statements, which are rounded to the nearest million. As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS as presented in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by adjusting EPS from continuing operations by EPS from discontinued operations.

We include all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic EPS calculation as they are considered participating securities. As a result, we have included all of our outstanding unvested awards of restricted stock, as well as restricted stock units (RSUs) and Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards that meet the retirement eligible criteria in our calculation of basic EPS. We disclose EPS for common stock and unvested stock-based payment awards, and separately disclose distributed and undistributed earnings. Distributed earnings represent common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested awards of restricted stock and stock-based payment awards of retirement eligible employees. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested stock-based payment awards earn dividends equally.

As described in “Note 11: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests,” prior to our acquisition of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint in the fourth quarter of 2019, we recorded redeemable noncontrolling interest related to their interest. We reflected the redemption value adjustments for redeemable noncontrolling interest in both the basic and diluted EPS calculation for the portion of redemption value that was in excess of the fair value of noncontrolling interest.
Employee Stock Plans—Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. The expense is amortized over the service period using the graded vesting method for our restricted stock and RSUs and the straight-line amortization method for our LTPP. The expense related to our Forcepoint long-term incentive plans is recognized over the requisite service period when achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. We account for forfeitures when they occur, consistent with our government recovery accounting practice. The gross excess tax benefit received upon exercise of stock options or vesting of a stock-based award, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as an operating activity.

Risks and Uncertainties—We provide a wide range of technologically advanced products, services and solutions for principally governmental customers in the U.S. and abroad, and are subject to certain business risks specific to that industry. Total sales to the U.S. government, excluding foreign military sales, were 69% of total net sales in 2019, 68% of total net sales in 2018 and 67% of total net sales in 2017. Total sales to customers outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. government, were 29% of total net sales in 2019, 30% of total net sales in 2018 and 32% of total net sales in 2017. Sales to the U.S. government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political developments abroad and other factors. Sales to international customers may be affected by changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geopolitical uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, regional and local economic and political factors, U.S. foreign policy and other risks and uncertainties.

Remaining Performance Obligations—Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)). As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $48,752 million. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately half and three-quarters of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

Accounting Standards—In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which eliminates the disclosure requirement of the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and modifies certain disclosure requirements related to Level 3 recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2019, we elected to early adopt the requirements of the new standard on a prospective basis. The standard did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-24): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2019, we elected to early adopt the requirements of the new standard on a prospective basis. The standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most lease arrangements. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of the new lease standard using the modified retrospective approach, applying the new lease requirements at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $805 million and operating lease liabilities of $841 million, of which $194 million was classified as current and is included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, as of December 31, 2018, with immaterial changes to other balance sheet accounts. The standard had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows. In addition, new disclosures are provided to enable users to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Act, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. These stranded tax effects refer to the tax amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income at the previous 35% U.S. statutory tax rate, for which the related deferred tax asset or liability was remeasured to the new 21% U.S. corporate statutory federal tax rate in the period of the 2017 Act enactment. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period impacted by the 2017 Act. We elected to early adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and we elected to reclassify the stranded income tax effects of the 2017 Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the period of adoption. This resulted in an increase to AOCL of $1,451 million and an increase in retained earnings of $1,451 million in the first quarter of 2018, almost all of which related to our pension and PRB plans, net. The standard did not have an impact on our results of operations or liquidity. Income tax effects remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income will be released into earnings as the related before tax amounts are reclassified to earnings.

Other new pronouncements adopted and issued but not effective until after December 31, 2019, including ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 2: Proposed Merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC)
On June 9, 2019, Raytheon, United Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (UTC), and Light Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC (Merger Sub), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Raytheon (the Merger), with Raytheon surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC.

At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of common stock of Raytheon issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for shares held by Raytheon as treasury stock) will be converted into the right to receive 2.3348 shares of common stock of UTC (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares), less any applicable withholding taxes. At the Effective Time, Raytheon’s stockholders will hold approximately 43%, and UTC’s stockholders will hold approximately 57%, of the outstanding shares of common stock of UTC.

The Merger Agreement also provides that, prior to the consummation of the Merger, UTC will complete the previously announced separation of its commercial businesses, Otis and Carrier, from its other businesses (the Separation), and the pro rata distributions to its stockholders of 100% of the common stock of the entity holding the Otis business and 100% of the common stock of the entity holding the Carrier business (the Distributions).

The Merger was approved by Raytheon’s stockholders at a special meeting of Raytheon’s stockholders held on October 11, 2019. The issuance of shares of UTC Common Stock in connection with the Merger was approved by UTC’s stockholders at a special meeting of UTC’s stockholders held on October 11, 2019.

The parties’ obligations to consummate the Separation, the Distributions and the Merger remains subject to customary conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act), and the receipt of other required regulatory approvals. In addition, the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to the prior completion of the Separation and the Distributions.

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Raytheon and UTC (generally excluding the Otis business and the Carrier business). Between the date of execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, each of Raytheon and UTC (generally with respect to its aerospace business) has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to conduct its businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to comply with certain operating covenants. In addition, the Merger Agreement generally restricts certain actions by both Raytheon and UTC, including the incurrence or issuance of new debt in excess of $1 billion in the aggregate (unless used to refinance existing debt), acquisitions or divestitures in excess of $500 million in the aggregate, and repurchases or issuances of shares other than in accordance with our existing equity award programs. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the adjusted net indebtedness of UTC’s aerospace business will not exceed an amount as provided for under the Merger Agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Subject to certain exceptions, each of Raytheon and UTC has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be completed. The Merger Agreement includes certain termination provisions for both UTC and Raytheon and provides that, in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Raytheon will be required to pay UTC a termination fee of $1.785 billion, or UTC will be required to pay Raytheon a termination fee of $2.365 billion.

The Merger is targeted to close early in the second quarter of 2020, subject to and following completion by UTC of the Separation and Distributions.

Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Goodwill
In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and make investments in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial criteria, and divest of certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate.

In 2013, we formed the Range Generation Next LLC (RGNext) joint venture with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) through our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment, in which we held a 50% equity ownership that was accounted for using the equity method. On February 8, 2019, we amended and restated the RGNext joint venture agreement and acquired an additional 10% equity ownership in the joint venture, increasing our equity ownership to 60% and giving us control of the operations of RGNext. Effective as of February 8, 2019, we consolidate the results of RGNext in our consolidated financial statements and report its results in our IIS segment. We also remeasured our equity method investment in RGNext to fair value, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $21 million in the first quarter of 2019 that was recorded in operating income through a reduction to cost of sales at our IIS segment; recognized redeemable noncontrolling interest for GDIT’s interest in RGNext at a fair value of $32 million; and recognized $90 million of net assets, including cash acquired, at fair value. As part of our purchase price allocation, we recorded $19 million of goodwill, primarily related to the value of the existing workforce, and $34 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships with a weighted-average life of 7 years.

In May 2018, we completed the sale of our commercial cloud-based call center analytics solutions business for $11 million in cash, net of transaction-related costs. This business was part of our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) segment. The Company recognized a gain of $8 million before tax, $5 million net of tax, which was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales at our SAS segment in the second quarter of 2018.

In 2017, our Forcepoint business completed the acquisitions of RedOwl Analytics Inc., a security analytics business, and the Skyfence cloud access security broker (CASB) business for total consideration of $93 million, net of cash received, and exclusive of retention payments. Vista Equity Partners contributed 19.7% of the purchase price for the Skyfence acquisition. Both acquisitions expand and enhance Forcepoint’s strategy to deliver cybersecurity systems that help customers understand people’s behaviors and intent as they interact with data and intellectual property wherever it may reside. In connection with these acquisitions, we recorded $77 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $12 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology and customer relationships.

Pro forma financial information and revenue from the date of acquisition has not been provided for these acquisitions as they are not material either individually or in the aggregate.

We funded each of the above acquisitions using cash on hand. The operating results of these businesses have been included in our consolidated results as of the respective closing dates of the acquisitions. The purchase price of these businesses has been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes related to these acquisitions was $28 million at December 31, 2019.

The $577 million increase in our net contract assets (liabilities) from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was primarily due to a $528 million increase in our contract assets, principally due to the timing of milestone payments on certain international programs.

On May 24, 2019, the Administration announced an emergency certification authorizing the immediate export of 22 pending arms sales to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the KSA, waiving the requirement of Congressional Notification of these arms sales. As a result, we were able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses for contracts subject to the emergency certification. For those contracts for which we have not yet obtained the regulatory approval and licenses and that were not subject to the emergency certification, we had approximately $1.2 billion of total contract value, recognized approximately $400 million of sales for work performed to date and received approximately $500 million in advances as of December 31, 2019. On a contract-by-contract basis, we had $100 million and $200 million of net contract assets and net contract liabilities, respectively, related to the contracts pending approval.

Impairment losses recognized on our receivables and contract assets were de minimis in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

In September 2019, we entered into a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2021 and terminated the previous $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2020 without penalty. Under the credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 2019, borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 80.5 basis points. The credit facility is composed of commitments from 20 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under our credit facilities.

Under the credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 60%. Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 28.0% at December 31, 2019. We are providing this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that could limit our ability to utilize this facility. We were in compliance with our credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Total cash paid for interest on commercial paper and long-term debt was $193 million, $194 million and $214 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 9: Leases
We enter into operating leases primarily for: real estate, including for manufacturing, engineering, research, administration, sales and warehousing facilities; information technology equipment; and other equipment. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any finance leases. Approximately 90% of our future lease commitments, and related lease liability, relate to our real estate leases. Some of our leases also include options to extend the lease or terminate the lease. A small portion of our leases include variable escalation clauses, which are typically based on CPI rates, or other variable lease-related payments.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Matters—We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. We regularly assess the probability of recovery of these costs, which requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our contracts and the amount of future contract activity. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred were as follows at December 31:

We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.

Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage, and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters. However, we do not expect any additional liability to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We provide guarantees and letters of credit to certain affiliates to assist them in obtaining financing on more favorable terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While we expect our affiliates to satisfy their loans and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure to do so may result in a future obligation to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of our affiliates failing to meet their obligations. At December 31, 2019, we believe the risk that our affiliates will not be able to meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current financial condition. All obligations were current at December 31, 2019. At both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an estimated liability of $3 million related to these guarantees.

We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes in the form of either offset agreements or ICIP agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of our offset agreements, both agreed to and anticipated to be agreed to, had an outstanding notional value of approximately $9.5 billion. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects, and the purchase by third parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements may also be satisfied through our use of cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. Such activities may also vary by country depending upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit to offset agreements until orders for our products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations with the customers and typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreements. Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements. Historically, we have not been required to pay any penalties of significance.

As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspectors General of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other departments and agencies; the Government Accountability Office (GAO); the Department of Justice (DOJ); and Congressional Committees. Other areas of our business operations may also be subject to audit and investigation by these and/or other agencies. From time to time, agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits may be initiated due to a number of reasons, including as a result of a whistleblower complaint. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. U.S. government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have, from time to time, resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government, with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the DOJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S., and those sales are subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.

Raytheon has received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking information in connection with an investigation into whether there were improper payments made by Thales-Raytheon Systems (TRS), Raytheon or anyone acting on their behalf in connection with TRS or Raytheon contracts in certain Middle East countries since 2014. Raytheon maintains a rigorous anti-corruption compliance program, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s inquiry, and is examining whether there has been any conduct that is in violation of Raytheon policy. At this point there is no ability to predict the outcome of the SEC’s inquiry. Based on the information available to date, however, we do not believe the results of this inquiry will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs or other incurred costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.

Note 11: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Forcepoint is a cybersecurity company that we created in May 2015 as a joint venture with Vista Equity Partners. The joint venture agreement between Raytheon and Vista Equity Partners provided Vista Equity Partners with the ability to liquidate its ownership through a put option, which became exercisable on May 29, 2017. The put option allowed Vista Equity Partners to require Raytheon to purchase all of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for cash at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint was presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest, outside of stockholders’ equity, in our consolidated balance sheets.

In October 2019, Vista Equity Partners formally exercised its put right to require Raytheon to purchase Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint. As a result, the parties engaged in a formal process under the joint venture agreement to determine the fair value, as defined in the joint venture agreement, of such interest. On November 18, 2019, Raytheon completed the acquisition of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for $588 million in cash. As part of the acquisition, we eliminated the historical adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of $128 million, with the offset to retained earnings. In addition, we eliminated the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of $263 million and recognized a loss in additional paid-in capital of $324 million for the difference between the purchase price and the carrying value, excluding $1 million which was reclassed to AOCL. In addition, the related transaction costs of $4 million were charged to additional paid-in capital. Any reduction to additional paid-in capital in excess of zero was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

As discussed in “Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Goodwill,” in February 2019, we amended and restated the RGNext joint venture agreement and acquired an additional 10% equity ownership in the joint venture, increasing our equity ownership to 60% and giving us control of the operations, with GDIT obtaining only protective rights. As a result, we now consolidate the results of RGNext in our consolidated financial statements. The amendment to the RGNext joint venture agreement provides GDIT with the ability to liquidate its ownership and receive an amount equal to its contributed capital (the redemption value). As such, GDIT’s interest in RGNext is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest, outside of stockholders’ equity, in our consolidated balance sheets, and is recorded at the greater of its carrying value or the redemption value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Due to the volume of repurchases made under our share repurchase program in both 2019 and 2018 and the acquisition of Vista Equity Partners’ redeemable noncontrolling interest in Forcepoint in November 2019 as further discussed in “Note 11: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests,” additional paid-in capital was reduced to zero during 2019 and 2018, with the remainder of the excess of $1,025 million and $1,250 million, respectively, recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

In March 2019, our Board of Directors authorized an 8.6% increase to our annual dividend payout rate from $3.47 to $3.77 per share. Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $3.77, $3.47 and $3.19 per share in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dividends are subject to quarterly approval by our Board of Directors.

Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans
On May 30, 2019, our stockholders approved the Raytheon 2019 Stock Plan. The 2019 Stock Plan provides for stock-based awards to be issued as restricted stock, RSUs, stock grants, stock options or stock appreciation rights, including awards based on performance criteria. The plan authorizes the issuance of 2.7 million shares in addition to shares remaining available for awards under the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan as of December 31, 2018. The total maximum number of shares originally authorized for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan, the 2010 Stock Plan and other prior Raytheon plans is 44.5 million. The 2019 Stock Plan provides that awards to our officers, employees and consultants are generally granted by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) of our Board of Directors and are compensatory in nature, while awards to our non-employee directors are granted by the Board’s Governance and Nominating Committee. Shares issued to fulfill the stock-based awards will be funded through the issuance of shares under the 2019 Stock Plan. Each stock-based award is subject to the change in control provision in the related agreement. At December 31, 2019, there were 8.0 million shares available for new awards and 2.8 million shares outstanding under the 2019 Stock Plan, the 2010 Stock Plan and other prior Raytheon plans.

At December 31, 2019, there was $186 million of compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Shares of restricted stock vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC, generally four years for employee awards and one year for non-employee directors. Recipients of restricted stock are entitled to full dividend and voting rights beginning on the date of grant. Non-vested shares of restricted stock are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances and restricted as to disposition until vested. At the date of grant, each share of restricted stock is credited to common stock at par value. The fair value of restricted stock is calculated under the intrinsic value method at the date of grant and is charged to income as compensation expense generally over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

RSUs also vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC, are compensatory in nature and are primarily awarded to retirement eligible employees. Retirement eligible recipients of RSUs are entitled to full dividend rights beginning on the date of grant. In addition, RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees continue to vest, but do not accelerate, on the scheduled vesting dates into retirement subject to the recipient’s compliance with certain post-employment covenants. Since recipients of RSUs with continued vesting provisions have satisfied the service requirement of the award at the date of grant, the Company recognizes all of the stock-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs awarded to retirement eligible employees in the period the award is granted. The expense is based on the fair value of the RSUs, calculated under the intrinsic value method at the date of grant.

Long-term Performance Plan
In 2004, we established the LTPP, which provides for restricted stock unit awards granted from our stock plans to our senior leadership. Recipients of LTPP awards have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalent units. The vesting of LTPP awards and related dividend equivalent units is based upon the achievement of specific pre-established levels of performance at the end of a three-year performance cycle. In the event of a retirement, vesting for LTPP awards will not accelerate and instead will vest in accordance with the original vesting conditions on a pro-rated basis.

The performance goals for the three outstanding performance cycles at December 31, 2019 are independent of each other and based on three metrics, as defined in the LTPP award agreements: return on invested capital (ROIC), weighted at 50%; total shareholder return (TSR) relative to a peer group, weighted at 25%; and cumulative free cash flow from continuing operations (CFCF), weighted at 25%. The ultimate award, which is determined at the end of the three-year cycle, can range from zero to 200% of the target award and includes dividend equivalents, which are not included in the aggregate target award numbers.

36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Compensation expense for the LTPP awards is recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date through the end of the performance period based upon the value determined under the intrinsic value method for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the LTPP award and the Monte Carlo simulation method for the TSR portion of the LTPP award. Compensation expense for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards will be adjusted based upon the expected achievement of those performance goals.

The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model for the TSR portion of the LTPP awards granted during each year were as follows:

Forcepoint Plans
In 2015, Forcepoint established long-term incentive plans that provide for awards of unit appreciation rights and profits interests in the Forcepoint entity to its management and key employees. Awards are approved by the Board of Forcepoint. These awards vest over a specified period of time and settlement is subject to a liquidity event defined as either a change in control or an initial public offering of the entity. In 2019, Forcepoint issued 11 thousand unit appreciation rights, 8 thousand were forfeited, and 24 thousand were outstanding at December 31, 2019. Also in 2019, Forcepoint issued 37 thousand profits interests, 34 thousand were forfeited, and 119 thousand were outstanding at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, there were 174 thousand and 29 thousand combined unit appreciation rights and/or profits interests authorized and available for issuance, respectively, under these plans. The fair value of the awards is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period when achievement of the liquidity event is considered probable. In certain limited circumstances other vesting conditions may apply and the impact attributable to these vesting conditions was expense of $13 million in 2019, income of $1 million in 2018 and expense of $13 million in 2017.

Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees hired prior to January 1, 2007, including certain employees in foreign countries (Pension Benefits). Our primary pension obligations relate to our domestic Internal Revenue Service (IRS) qualified pension plans. In addition, we provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and to eligible employees upon retirement through other postretirement benefit (PRB) plans.

The fair value of plan assets for our domestic and foreign Pension Benefits plans was as follows:

We maintain a defined contribution plan that includes a 401(k) plan. Covered employees hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2007 are eligible for a Company contribution based on age and service, instead of participating in our pension plans. These and other covered employees are eligible to contribute up to a specific percentage of their pay to the 401(k) plan, subject to IRS compensation and contribution limits. We match the employee contributions. The match is generally 3% or 4% of the employee’s pay and is invested in the same way as the employee contributions. Total expense for our contributions was $357 million, $326 million and $303 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $20.6 billion and $17.0 billion invested in our defined contribution plan, respectively. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion of these amounts were invested in our stock fund, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

We also sponsor nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans to provide benefits in excess of qualified plan limits. We have set aside certain assets in separate trusts, which we expect to be used to pay for trust obligations. The fair value of marketable securities held in trusts, which are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy, consisted of the following at December 31:

Included in marketable securities held in trusts in the table above was $476 million and $420 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans. The liabilities related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans were $489 million and $431 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

We also maintain additional contractual pension benefits agreements for certain executive officers. The liability associated with such agreements was $39 million and $36 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Contributions and Benefit Payments
We may make both required and discretionary contributions to our pension plans. Required contributions are primarily determined in accordance with the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules, and are affected by the actual return on plan assets (ROA) and plan funded status. The funding requirements under the PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the funded status at the beginning of the year.

Due to the low interest rate environment, Congress provided for temporary pension funding relief through a provision in the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012 (STE Act). The provision was extended through 2020 by the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA) and the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2015. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor,” based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. Beginning after 2020, the provision will be gradually phased out.

We made the following contributions to our pension and PRB plans during the years ended December 31:

We periodically evaluate whether to make additional discretionary contributions. We did not make any discretionary pension contributions in 2019. We made a $1.25 billion discretionary pension contribution in third quarter 2018 and elected to apply approximately $1 billion to partially offset required contributions in 2019 and 2020, roughly split evenly between the two years. We expect to make required contributions of approximately $319 million and $50 million to our pension and PRB plans, respectively, in 2020.

Net periodic pension expense (income) includes income from foreign Pension Benefits plans of $3 million in 2019, income of $8 million in 2018 and expense of $2 million in 2017.

In July 2018, certain Raytheon-sponsored pension plans purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company to transfer $923 million of our outstanding pension benefit obligations related to certain U.S. retirees and beneficiaries of our previously discontinued operations. As a result of the transaction, the insurance company is now required to pay and administer the retirement benefits owed to the approximately 13,000 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries, with no change to their monthly retirement benefit payment amounts. In connection with this transaction, in the third quarter of 2018 we recognized a non-cash pension settlement charge of $288 million before tax, $228 million net of tax, in non-operating (income) expense, net, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses included in AOCL for those plans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Our long-term return on plan assets (ROA) and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining the net periodic benefit cost and the pension benefit obligation of our pension plans under U.S. GAAP. Our long-term ROA assumption only impacts the retirement benefits non-service expense. The discount rate assumption impacts the service cost component of FAS expense and retirement benefits non-service expense, while also impacting the pension benefit obligation.

The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle our pension and PRB obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of bonds rated AA or better by Moody’s Investors Service for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each of our pension plans. The weighted-average year-end benefit obligation discount rate for our domestic Pension Benefits plans was 3.29% and 4.33% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our foreign Pension Benefits plan assumptions have been included in the Pension Benefits assumptions in the table above.

The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions or other major factors.

To establish our long-term ROA assumption we employ a “building block” approach. Under this building block method, the overall expected investment return equals the weighted-average of the individual expected return for each asset class based on the target asset allocation and the long-term capital market assumptions. The expected return for each asset class is composed of inflation plus a risk-free rate of return, plus an expected risk premium for that asset class. The resulting return is then adjusted for administrative, investment management and trading expenses as well as recognition of excess returns, also known as alpha, for active management. We then annually consider whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption by reviewing the existing assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. Such assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over short- and long-term periods and also take into consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation and interest rates.

Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27, Selection of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27) requires the selection of a reasonable long-term ROA assumption that considers multiple criteria including the purposes of measurement, the actuary’s professional judgment, historical and current economic data and estimates of future experience and has no significant bias. We evaluate our long-term ROA assumption against a reasonable range of possible outcomes which we define as between the 35th to 65th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return over future years. We believe that validating our ROA assumption within this reasonable range ensures an unbiased result while also ensuring that the ROA assumption is not solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, and is consistent with external actuarial practices.

The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2019, 2018 and 2017 is shown below.

2017 ROA Assumption—At year end 2016, we determined that the 8.0% long-term ROA assumption no longer fell within the range of reasonable outcomes, driven primarily by the current outlook on economic assumptions used to develop the reasonable range. As a result, we employed the building block approach described above to develop our 2017 long-term ROA assumption. The building block approach resulted in a long-term ROA assumption of 7.5% for 2017. To validate this assumption, we compared the result against the reasonable range of outcomes and confirmed that the 7.5% fell between the 55th and 60th percentile of the reasonable range for 2017 with the 50th percentile at 6.89%.

Based upon our application of the building block approach and our review of the resulting assumption against the 35th to 65th percentile reasonable range and an analysis of our historical results, we established a 2017 long-term ROA domestic assumption of 7.5% for purposes of determining the net periodic benefit cost for 2017 and determined that the assumption is reasonable and consistent with the provisions of ASOP 27.

2018 ROA Assumption—The long-term domestic ROA of 7.5% fell between the 60th and 65th percentiles of the applicable reasonable range for 2018. The 50th percentile of this reasonable range was 6.74%.

2019 ROA Assumption—The long-term domestic ROA of 7.5% fell between the 60th and 65th percentiles of the applicable reasonable range for 2019. The 50th percentile of this reasonable range was 6.53%.

Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 19%, (4)% and 15% for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred gains and losses.

The long-term ROA assumptions for our foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.

For purposes of determining pension expense under U.S. GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10% of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) or the calculated “market-related value” of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS pension expense.

The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed health care trend rate for each future year on total service cost and interest cost is less than a $1 million increase or decrease and on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is a $4 million increase or decrease.

Plan Assets
Substantially all our domestic Pension Benefits Plan (Plan) assets, which consist of investments in cash and cash equivalents, U.S. and international equities, real assets, private equity funds, private real estate funds, fixed income and other investments such as absolute return funds, insurance contracts and derivatives, are held in a master trust, which was established for the investment of assets of our Company-sponsored retirement plans. The assets of the master trust are overseen by our Investment Committee comprised of members of senior management drawn from appropriate diversified levels of the executive management team.

The Investment Committee is responsible for setting the policy that provides the framework for management of the Plan assets. In accordance with its responsibilities and charter, the Investment Committee meets on a regular basis to review the performance of the Plan assets and compliance with the investment policy. The policy sets forth an investment structure for managing Plan assets, including setting the asset allocation ranges, which are expected to provide an appropriate level of overall diversification and total investment return over the long term while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay the benefits of the Plan. In developing the asset allocation ranges, third-party asset allocation and liability studies are periodically performed that consider the current and expected positions of the Plan assets and funded status. Based on these studies and other appropriate information, the Investment Committee establishes asset allocation ranges taking into account acceptable risk targets and associated returns.

The investment policy asset allocation ranges for the Plan, as set by the Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:
 
Asset Category
     
Global equity (combined U.S. and international equity)
   
30%-60

The Investment Committee appoints the investment fiduciary, who is responsible for making investment decisions within the framework of the Investment Policy, for setting the long-term target allocation within the investment policy asset allocation ranges and for supervising the internal pension investment team. The pension investment team is comprised of experienced investment professionals, who are all employees of the Company. The investment fiduciary reports back to the Investment Committee. The investment fiduciary may seek authorization from the Investment Committee to change the asset allocation ranges with a focus on managing the Plan in a prudent manner.

Taking into account the asset allocation ranges, the investment fiduciary determines the specific allocation of the Plan’s investments within various asset classes. The Plan utilizes select investment strategies which are executed through separate account or fund structures with external investment managers who demonstrate experience and expertise in the appropriate asset classes and styles. The selection of investment managers is done with careful evaluation of all aspects of performance and risk, due diligence of internal operations and controls, reputation, systems evaluation, fees and a review of investment managers’ policies and processes. Investment performance is monitored frequently against appropriate benchmarks and within a compliance framework with the assistance of third-party performance measurement and evaluation tools, analytics and metrics.

Consistent with managing the Plan in a prudent manner, multiple investment strategies are employed to diversify risk such that no single investment or manager holding represents a significant exposure to the total investment portfolio. Plan assets are invested in numerous strategies with the intent to build a diversified portfolio. Plan assets can be invested in funds that track an index and are designed to achieve broad market diversification. The Plan had $4.6 billion invested in such funds across seven indices as of December 31, 2019. Excluding funds that track an index, no individual investment strategy represented more than 5% of the Plan as of December 31, 2019. Further, within each separate account strategy, guidelines are established which set forth the list of authorized investments, the typical portfolio characteristics and diversification required by limiting the amount that can be invested by sector, country and issuer.

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities are valued at the last reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed income securities are generally valued using methods based upon market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional market participants. Investments in funds are estimated at fair market value, which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment manager or fund administrator. We review additional valuation and pricing information from fund managers, including audited financial statements, to evaluate the net asset values.

The fair value of our Plan assets by asset category and by level (as described in “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”) at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

The Plan limits the use of derivatives through direct or separate account investments such that the derivatives used are liquid and able to be readily valued in the market. Derivative usage in separate account structures is limited to hedging or adjusting market exposure in a non-speculative manner. The fair market value of the Plan’s derivatives through direct or separate account investments was approximately $(8) million and $6 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

In addition, assets are held in trust for non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans, primarily in the U.K. and Canada, which are governed in accordance with specific jurisdictional requirements. Investments in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans consist primarily of fixed income and equities and had a fair market value of $951 million and $833 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Investments with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are immaterial in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans.

The fair market value of assets related to our PRB Benefits was $324 million and $300 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These assets included $144 million and $141 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which were invested in the master trust described above and are therefore invested in the same assets described above. The remaining investments are held within Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts. The assets of the VEBA trusts are also overseen by the Investment Committee and managed by the same investment fiduciary that manages the master trust’s investments. These assets are generally invested in mutual funds and are valued primarily using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). There were no Level 3 investments in the VEBA trusts at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

In 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Act) was enacted, which reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective in 2018. See below for a detailed discussion of the 2017 Act.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Forcepoint completed an Irish restructuring transaction resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $63 million. We have evaluated both the positive and negative evidence to support our ability to realize the deferred tax asset associated with the restructuring. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from this restructuring transaction will not be realized. Accordingly, we provided a valuation allowance of $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 on the deferred tax asset related to this transaction.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $110 million related to the completion of the 2017 tax return and additional amended R&D tax credit claims related to the 2014–2016 tax years.

Also in the third quarter of 2018, we made a discretionary contribution to our pension plans of $1.25 billion. In the second quarter of 2018, we determined we would make this contribution and as a result recorded a net tax benefit of $95 million in the second quarter of 2018. This was primarily due to the remeasurement of the related deferred tax asset balance at the 2017 tax rate of 35% versus the 2018 tax rate of 21% since the discretionary contribution was deductible on our 2017 tax return.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. All IRS examinations related to originally filed returns are closed through the 2016 tax year. In 2018, we amended tax returns for tax years 2014–2016 to reflect refund claims related to increased R&D tax credits, which will be subject to audit. We are also under audit by multiple state and foreign tax authorities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

We will generally be free of additional U.S. federal tax consequences on distributed foreign subsidiary earnings due to a dividends received deduction implemented as part of the move to a territorial tax system for earnings distributed after January 1, 2018. We provide for foreign withholding taxes to the extent applicable to distributions of foreign earnings. We continue to assert indefinite reinvestment on outside basis differences generated on or before December 31, 2017. No provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to any remaining historical outside basis differences in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on outside basis differences is not practicable because these differences primarily relate to non-earnings and profits (E&P) book tax differences, such as acquisition accounting, and could be recognized upon a sale or other transactions of a subsidiary.

We made (received) the following net tax payments (refunds) during the years ended December 31:

We believe that our income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, we could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, foreign and state tax-related liabilities in the future as we revise estimates or as we settle or otherwise resolve the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, we may take new positions that could increase or decrease our unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.

The balance of our unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, was $227 million and $92 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, the majority of which would affect our earnings if recognized. The increase in the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits is related to positions taken on state tax returns.

We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. Interest and penalties recognized during 2019, 2018 and 2017 and accrued as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were de minimis.

With the exception of Forcepoint, we generally defer our state income tax expense to the extent we can recover this expense through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. We include this deferred amount in prepaid expenses and other current assets until allocated to our contracts, which generally occurs upon payment or when otherwise agreed as allocable with the U.S. government. Current state income tax expense allocated to our contracts was $31 million, $18 million and $32 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We include state income tax expense allocated to our contracts in administrative and selling expenses.

As of December 31, 2019, we had U.S. federal, foreign and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards related to Forcepoint of $106 million, $67 million and $285 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through 2037. We believe it is more likely than not that the majority of the deferred tax asset will be realized to the extent of existing deferred tax liabilities.

We also had foreign NOL carryforwards unrelated to Forcepoint of $87 million as of December 31, 2019, of which the majority may be carried forward indefinitely. The NOL carryforwards are primarily generated in the U.K., France, Saudi Arabia, and Guam. We have sufficient taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets in the U.K.; however, we believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from the foreign NOL carryforwards in France, Saudi Arabia and Guam will not be realized and provided a valuation allowance of $18 million related to these deferred tax assets. The total valuation allowance recorded in 2019 related to NOL carryforwards was $14 million.

As of December 31, 2019, we also had state tax credit carryforwards of $336 million, of which $326 million expire at various dates through 2039 and $10 million may be carried forward indefinitely. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from the majority of these state tax credit carryforwards will not be realized and have provided a valuation allowance of $241 million on the deferred tax asset related to these carryforwards in 2019, which was recorded through administrative and selling expenses. If or when recognized, the tax benefits related to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019, will be recognized through administrative and selling expenses as these benefits can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government in the period in which the credit is utilized.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Act) which enacted a wide range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. The 2017 Act reduced the U.S. corporate statutory federal tax rate to 21% effective in 2018, eliminated the domestic manufacturing deduction benefit and introduced other tax base broadening measures, changed rules for expensing and capitalizing business expenditures, established a territorial tax system for foreign earnings as well as a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, provided for a one-time transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings, and introduced new rules for the treatment of certain foreign income, including FDII.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Also on December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which provided companies with additional guidance on how to account for the 2017 Act in their financial statements, allowing companies to use a measurement period. As of December 31, 2017, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances to reflect the new 21% corporate income tax rate under the 2017 Act and the one-time transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings and recognized provisional amounts totaling $171 million in accordance with SAB 118, which was included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. As of December 31, 2018, we had finalized our provisional estimates for the remeasurement of our existing U.S. deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax for which we recorded a $1 million tax benefit in 2018.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities—At the date of enactment, the Company had a net deferred tax asset for the difference between the tax basis and the book basis of the U.S. assets and liabilities. Due to the 2017 Act, the future impact associated with the reversal of the net deferred tax asset will be subject to tax at a lower corporate tax rate. Consequently in 2017, we recorded a tax expense of $100 million to reduce the Company’s deferred tax asset due to the remeasurement of the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities for the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. At December 31, 2018, we finalized our provisional estimate for the remeasurement of our existing deferred tax balances with no additional adjustment.

Transition tax—The one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 E&P for which we have previously deferred U.S. income taxes. In 2017, we recorded a provisional amount for our one-time transition tax liability, using an applicable tax rate of 15.5%, resulting in an increase in income tax expense of $71 million after accounting for foreign tax credits. In 2018, we recorded a $1 million tax benefit to finalize our provisional calculation for the one-time transition tax for foreign E&P. This refinement was a result of completing the data gathering and analysis based on the 2017 Act and guidance issued to date in 2018, including IRS Notices 2018-07, 2018-13 and 2018-26. No provision has been made for deferred taxes related to any remaining historical outside basis differences in our non-U.S. subsidiaries as we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment on outside basis differences not related to amounts that have been previously taxed in the U.S. or undistributed earnings generated after December 31, 2017.

In addition to the changes described above, the 2017 Act imposes a U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (GILTI) that is earned by certain foreign affiliates owned by a U.S. shareholder. The computation of GILTI is generally intended to impose tax on the earnings of a foreign corporation that are deemed to exceed a certain threshold return relative to the underlying business investment. The Company made a policy election to treat future taxes related to GILTI as a current period expense in the reporting period in which the tax is incurred.

We must calculate our pension and PRB costs under both FAS requirements under U.S. GAAP and CAS requirements. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes, which is not indicative of the funding requirements for pension and PRB plans that we determine by other factors. CAS prescribes the allocation to and recovery of pension and PRB costs on U.S. government contracts. The results of each segment only include pension and PRB expense as determined under CAS. The CAS requirements for pension costs and its calculation methodology differ from the FAS requirements and calculation methodology. As a result, while both FAS and CAS use long-term assumptions in their calculation methodologies, each method results in different calculated amounts of pension and PRB costs. Our FAS expense is split between operating income and non-operating income where only the service cost component of FAS expense is included in operating income. The FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment, which is reported as a separate line in our segment results above, represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and PRB expense or income under FAS in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under CAS.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Overview

Effective as of 12:01 a.m. on April 3, 2020, United Technologies Corporation (since renamed Raytheon Technologies Corporation, as described below) (“UTC”) completed the previously announced separation into three independent companies through the distribution of all outstanding shares of common stock of Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”) and Otis Worldwide Corporation (“Otis”) to UTC shareowners through separate spin-off transactions (the “Separation and the Distributions”).

Additionally, pursuant to the agreement dated as of June 9, 2019, and amended as of March 9, 2020, UTC and Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) completed their previously announced merger of equals (the “Merger”) effective as of 8:30 a.m. on April 3, 2020, with the combined company renamed Raytheon Technologies Corporation. Upon completion of the Merger, each share of Raytheon common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger (other than excluded shares) was converted into the right to receive 2.3348 fully paid and nonassessable shares of UTC common stock, and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares, less any applicable withholding taxes. Immediately after the Merger, former holders of Raytheon common stock own approximately 43% and pre-Merger holders of UTC common stock own approximately 57% of the common stock of UTC.
 
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the financial results of Carrier and Otis for periods prior to April 3, 2020 will be reflected as discontinued operations in UTC’s consolidated financial statements.

In contemplation of the Separation and the Distributions, in the first quarter of 2020 Carrier and Otis issued $9.25 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, of unsecured, unsubordinated notes in multiple series and distributed the net proceeds to UTC. Additionally, Carrier and Otis entered into term loan credit agreements providing for unsecured, unsubordinated 3-year term loan credit facilities in the amount of $1.75 billion and $1 billion, respectively, that were fully utilized in the first quarter of 2020 and those net proceeds were distributed to UTC. UTC utilized the cash provided by the Otis and Carrier financings, described above, to paydown approximately $17 billion of existing UTC debt in the first quarter of 2020. The above is collectively referred to as the “Financing Transactions.”

In conjunction with the Separation and the Distributions, separation and distribution, tax matters and other agreements (together, the “separation agreements”) were entered into among UTC, Carrier and Otis. Through these separation agreements UTC recognized certain assets and liabilities that may be due to or from Otis and Carrier, respectively, subsequent to the spin-off.

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2019, UTC incurred $1.3 billion of costs in connection with the Separation and the Distributions and the Merger (“transaction costs”) and Raytheon incurred $68 million for the Merger. These costs are one-time in nature and have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.

The Separation and the Distributions, the Financing Transactions, the assets and liabilities resulting from the separation agreements, and the transaction costs, described above, are collectively referred to as the “Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions” below.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
 
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X and gives effect to the following transactions:
 

The Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions; and
 

UTC’s merger with Raytheon with acquisition accounting applied to Raytheon as the accounting acquiree.
 

The historical consolidated financial information in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions as well as the Merger, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of UTC.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue synergies that may result from the Separation and the Distributions or the Merger or the costs to achieve any synergies.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information contains estimated adjustments, based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in greater detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. In many cases related to the Merger, these assumptions are based on preliminary information and estimates.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions as well as the Merger, based on the historical financial position and results of operations of UTC and Raytheon as follows:
 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was prepared based on:
 

(1)
the historical audited consolidated balance sheet of UTC as of December 31, 2019; and
 

(2)
the historical audited consolidated balance sheet of Raytheon as of December 31, 2019.
 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 was prepared based on:
 

(1)
the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of UTC for the year ended December 31, 2019; and
 

(2)
the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of Raytheon for the year ended December 31, 2019.
 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 was prepared based on the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of UTC for the year ended December 31, 2018.
 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was prepared based on the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of UTC for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations assume the Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions and the Merger occurred on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 assumes the Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions and the Merger occurred on that date.
 
This historical financial information included in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes, as well as the following historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of UTC and Raytheon:
 


UTC’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 6, 2020;
 

Raytheon’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019; and
 

UTC’s Form S-4 Registration Statement (as amended) filed with the SEC on September 4, 2019 and declared effective on September 9, 2019.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Note 1: Basis of presentation
 
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the Separation and the Distributions qualify as discontinued operations to UTC and are, therefore, presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information in accordance with the guidance in ASC 205, Financial Statement Presentation. As such, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of operations do not allocate any general corporate overhead expenses of UTC to Otis and Carrier, including corporate overhead that had previously been reflected in the Carrier and Otis segment results as a part of UTC. Additionally, certain assets and liabilities that were a part of the historical operations of Carrier and Otis but were reported within the Corporate segment of UTC have been included in the pro forma combined balance sheets of Otis and Carrier below as those balances will not be a part of the continuing operations of UTC. Based on this and other estimates and assumptions, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect what the results of operations would have been on a standalone basis and are not necessarily indicative of the future operations of UTC. Refer to Note 3 for further details on the Separation and the Distributions of Otis and Carrier.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information also reflects the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. UTC management has determined that UTC is the acquiror for financial accounting purposes. In identifying UTC as the accounting acquirer, the companies considered the structure of the transaction and other actions contemplated by the merger agreement, relative outstanding share ownership and market values, the composition of the combined company’s board of directors, the relative size of UTC and Raytheon, and the designation of certain senior management positions of the combined company. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. To prepare the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, UTC adjusted Raytheon’s assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values based on preliminary valuations. As of the date of this filing, UTC has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values and estimated useful lives of Raytheon’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of the purchase price. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments.
 
In order to complete the Merger, both UTC and Raytheon are required by regulatory authorities to dispose of certain businesses, none of which were determined to be material to the operations of the combined company and, accordingly, the anticipated disposals are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet reflects the Raytheon business at fair value less cost to sell.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by UTC. Certain financial information of Raytheon as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in UTC’s consolidated financial statements for the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Upon completion of the Merger, more detailed review of Raytheon’s accounting policies could result in additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
The historical operations of UTC for the year ended December 31, 2018 include UTC’s acquisition of Rockwell Collins on November 26, 2018 and its results of operations since that date.
 
Note 2: Accounting policies
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects adjustments to conform Raytheon’s results to UTC’s accounting policies. Refer to Note 4 for detail of adjustments made.  Additionally, in connection with the Separation and the Distributions, UTC determined that the duration of its contracts or programs, which is generally longer than one year, would represent its operating cycle and accordingly contract-related assets and liabilities are presented as current in the combined balance sheet. Refer to Note 3 for details of the adjustment made.
 

Note 3: The Separation, Distributions and Related Transactions
 
The following presents the adjustments to Historical United Technologies Corporation’s balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2019 to remove Otis and Carrier on a discontinued operations basis and adjust for pro forma impacts of the Related Transactions:

i.
Reflects the net proceeds of $17.2 billion distributed by Carrier and Otis to UTC from the additional debt incurred by Carrier and Otis, which proceeds UTC used to extinguish approximately $17.0 billion of historical UTC debt in the first quarter of 2020 in order to achieve the applicable net indebtedness required by the merger agreement between UTC and Raytheon.
 

ii.
Pursuant to the tax matters agreement entered into among UTC, Carrier and Otis, Carrier and Otis will be required to make payments to UTC representing the respective remaining net tax liabilities retained by UTC attributable to U.S. income tax on previously undistributed earnings of Carrier’s and Otis’ international subsidiaries resulting from the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Accordingly, UTC has a future receivable for amounts paid by UTC on behalf of Otis and Carrier, which is expected to be approximately $699 million that is recorded within Other assets.



iii.
Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, certain tax liabilities which are attributable to separation activities and transferred to Otis at separation will be paid by Otis subsequent to the separation from UTC. Otis will be reimbursed by UTC for such amounts paid. Accordingly, a payable in the amount of $137 million has been recorded by UTC within Accrued liabilities.
 

iv.
Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, Otis and Carrier are responsible for unrecognized tax benefits retained by UTC to the extent a reserve relates exclusively to the Otis business or Carrier business, respectively. Accordingly, UTC has a $58 million receivable recorded in Other assets for amounts due from Otis and Carrier related to these unrecognized tax benefits.
 

v.
As noted above, in connection with the Separation and the Distributions UTC determined that the duration of its contracts and programs, the average duration of which exceeds one year, represents its operating cycle, and accordingly accounts receivable of $1.4 billion, contract assets of $1.3 billion, and other current assets of $1.5 billion were reclassified from Other assets to Accounts receivable, Contract assets, current, and Other assets, current, respectively. Additionally, $2.1 billion of accrued liabilities and $5.7 billion of contract liabilities were reclassified from Other long-term liabilities to Accrued liabilities and Contract liabilities, long-term to Contract liabilities, current, respectively.
 

vi.
Reflects an adjustment for directly-attributable costs related to the Separation and the Distributions of $1.1 billion, which were not yet incurred, and therefore accrued by UTC as of December 31, 2019. Such costs primarily represent tax expenses incurred in connection with separation activities, costs to separate IT systems and professional services related to the separation.
 

vii.
Reflects an adjustment to deferred tax assets of $430 million and a reduction of future income taxes payable of $90 million for deferred tax assets that are not expected to be utilized by UTC as a result of the Separation and the Distributions.

The following presents the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 reflecting the Separation and the Distributions, as well as the impact of the Related Transactions:

i.
Reflects a reduction in interest expense as result of UTC’s paydown of debt to meet its targeted indebtedness, in connection with the merger agreement, calculated using a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%, based on the indebtedness of UTC during the year ended December 31, 2019 that is assumed to have been extinguished as of January 1, 2019, as well as a related reduction in tax benefit of $126 million. A 1/8% change in the estimated interest rate would increase or decrease the interest expense of UTC by $21.8 million.
 

ii.
Reflects the elimination of non-recurring transaction costs incurred by UTC of $594 million, primarily related to accounting, tax and other professional services costs pertaining to the separation and the establishment of Otis and Carrier as stand-alone public companies, facility relocation costs, costs to separate information systems and costs of retention bonuses. Additionally, net tax charges related to separation activities of $654 million were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 5: Purchase price accounting and estimated merger consideration
 
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect a preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to Raytheon’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The preliminary purchase price allocation in this unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based upon an estimated purchase price of approximately $32.7 billion as determined by (1) the price per share of UTC common stock on an “ex-distribution” market as of April 2, 2020, in which UTC shares trade without the right to receive shares of Carrier and Otis common stock distributed pursuant to the Distributions, multiplied by the approximately 649 million shares of UTC common stock that were issued (400 million from Treasury stock) to Raytheon stockholders in connection with the Merger, and the approximately 7.0 million shares of UTC common stock that were issued to Raytheon equity award holders in exchange for awards that will vest upon completion of the Merger, (2) the portion of the fair value attributable to pre-Merger completion service for replacement equity awards that were exchanged for the outstanding awards held by Raytheon employees, and (3) estimated cash consideration payable in lieu of fractional shares owed to current Raytheon equity and equity award holders.
 

The pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities may result in adjustments that could materially impact the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
 
Total estimated merger consideration is calculated as follows:

(i)
Represents Raytheon stock awards that vested as a result of the Merger, which is considered a “change in control” for purposes of the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan. Certain Raytheon restricted stock awards and Raytheon RSU awards, issued under the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan vested on an accelerated basis as a result of the Merger. Such vested awards were converted into the right to receive UTC common stock determined as the product of (1) the number of vested awards, and (2) the exchange ratio.
 
(ii)
The exchange ratio is equal to 2.3348 in accordance with the merger agreement.

Note 6: Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet
 
  a)
Accounts receivable, net: Represents the elimination of accounts receivable of $43 million owed to UTC from Raytheon.
 
  b)
Other assets, current: Represents elimination of deferred sales commissions of $26 million, an increase of $210 million for Raytheon’s assets held for sale that will be sold to meet regulatory requirements of the Merger and an increase of $59 million  for the elimination of deferred state income taxes which under historical Raytheon policy reduced future recoverable amounts.
 
  c)
Future income tax benefits: Deferred income taxes are included in Future income tax benefits and Other long-term liabilities in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Deferred tax adjustments include a $238 million decrease in Future income tax benefits and a $4.2 billion increase in Other long-term liabilities. These are as a result of the estimated tax impact for the pro forma adjustments. Pro forma adjustments were tax effected at the applicable blended statutory tax rates, generally 23% in 2019. This estimate is preliminary and subject to change based upon final determination of fair values and tax rates. Additionally, the amounts recorded for deferred taxes relating to undistributed earnings may change subsequent to the Separation and the Distributions.
 
  d)
Fixed assets, net: Represents the adjustment in carrying value of Raytheon’s fixed assets from its recorded net book value to its preliminary estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is expected to be depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally on a straight-line basis. The fixed assets acquired primarily consist of the following:

The pro forma adjustment to Fixed assets, net also reflects the elimination of Raytheon’s historical accumulated depreciation of $5.2 billion against the gross carrying value of the related fixed assets of $8.6 billion.
 
  e)
Goodwill: Represents a net increase in goodwill of $4.8 billion, comprised of the elimination of Raytheon’s historical goodwill balance of $14.9 billion, offset by $19.7 billion of goodwill resulting from the Merger. Goodwill resulting from the Merger represents the excess of estimated merger consideration over the preliminary fair value of the underlying tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimated goodwill to be recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies, expanded market opportunities, and other benefits that UTC believes will result from combining its operations with the operations of Raytheon. The goodwill created in the Merger is not deductible for tax purposes and is subject to material revision as the purchase price allocation is completed.
 
  f)
Intangible assets, net: Represents adjustments to record the preliminary estimated fair value of intangibles of approximately $19.2 billion, which represents an increase of $19 billion over Raytheon’s net book value of intangible assets prior to the Merger. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets are preliminary and are determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). The final fair value determinations for identifiable intangible assets may differ from this preliminary determination, and such differences could be material. The intangible assets acquired primarily consist of the following:

The following table summarizes the expected pro forma amortization expense of the acquired intangible assets for the years 2020 through 2025, which has been prepared to reflect the Merger as if it occurred on January 1, 2019. The finalization of the detailed valuation work may have a material impact on the valuation of intangible assets and the purchase price allocation.
