The Company will begin reporting financial results in the new business structure in 2003. Information reflecting the Company’s segment results during 2002 and 2001 in the realigned structure is set forth in “Segment Reorganization” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

 

SALES TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

 

Sales to the United States Government (the “Government”), principally to the Department of Defense (“DoD”), were $12.3 billion in 2002 and $11.2 billion in 2001, representing 73% of total sales in 2002 and 70% of total sales in 2001. Of these sales, $0.8 billion in 2002 and $0.6 billion in 2001 represented purchases made by the Government on behalf of foreign governments.

 

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

 

The Company and its various subsidiaries act as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for many different Government programs, including those that involve the development and production of new or improved weapons or other types of electronic systems or major components of such systems. Over its lifetime, a program may be implemented by the award of many different individual contracts and subcontracts. The funding of Government programs is subject to congressional appropriations. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may continue for many years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. The Government is required to adjust equitably a contract price for additions or reductions in scope or other changes ordered by it.

 

Generally, government contracts are subject to oversight audits by Government representatives, and, in addition, they include provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the Government’s convenience upon the payment of compensation only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination. In the event of termination for convenience, the contractor will receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. The right to terminate for convenience has not had any material adverse effect upon Raytheon’s business in light of its total government business.

 

The Company’s government business is performed under both cost reimbursement and fixed price prime contracts and subcontracts. Cost reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs plus the payment of a fee.

Table of Contents

 

These contracts fall into three basic types: (i) cost plus fixed fee contracts which provide for the payment of a fixed fee irrespective of the final cost of performance; (ii) cost plus incentive fee contracts which provide for increases or decreases in the fee, within specified limits, based upon actual results as compared to contractual targets relating to such factors as cost, performance and delivery schedule; and (iii) cost plus award fee contracts which provide for the payment of an award fee determined at the discretion of the customer based upon the performance of the contractor against pre-established criteria. Under cost reimbursement type contracts, Raytheon is reimbursed periodically for allowable costs and is paid a portion of the fee based on contract progress. Some costs incident to performing contracts have been made partially or wholly unallowable by statute or regulation. Examples are charitable contributions, certain merger and acquisition costs, lobbying costs and certain litigation defense costs.

 

The Company’s fixed-price contracts are either firm fixed-price contracts or fixed-price incentive contracts. Under firm fixed-price contracts, Raytheon agrees to perform a specific scope of work for a fixed price and as a result, benefits from cost savings and carries the burden of cost overruns. Under fixed-price incentive contracts, Raytheon shares with the Government savings accrued from contracts performed for less than target costs and costs incurred in excess of targets up to a negotiated ceiling price (which is higher than the target cost) and carries the entire burden of costs exceeding the negotiated ceiling price. Accordingly, under such incentive contracts, the Company’s profit may also be adjusted up or down depending upon whether specified performance objectives are met. Under firm fixed-price and fixed-price incentive type contracts, the Company usually receives either milestone payments equaling 90% of the contract price or monthly progress payments from the Government generally in amounts equaling 80% of costs incurred under Government contracts.

 

The remaining amount, including profits or incentive fees, is billed upon delivery and final acceptance of end items under the contract.

 

The Company’s government business is subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of socio-economic and other requirements. Failure to comply with such regulations and requirements could lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes, including those related to procurement integrity, export control, government security regulations, employment practices, the protection of the environment, the accuracy of records and the recording of costs.

 

Under many government contracts, the Company is required to maintain facility and personnel security clearances complying with DoD requirements.

 

Companies which are engaged in supplying defense-related equipment to the Government are subject to certain business risks, some of which are peculiar to that industry. Among these are: the cost of obtaining trained and skilled employees; the uncertainty and instability of prices for raw materials and supplies; the problems associated with advanced designs, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns; and the intense competition and the constant necessity for improvement in facilities and personnel training. Sales to the Government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political developments abroad and other factors. See the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 of this Form 10-K, for a description of additional business risks.

 

See “Sales to the United States Government” on page 7 of this Form 10-K for information regarding the percentage of the Company’s revenues generated from sales to the Government.

 

BACKLOG

 

The Company’s backlog of orders was $25.7 billion at December 31, 2002 and $25.6 billion at December 31, 2001. The 2002 amount includes backlog of approximately $18.3 billion from the Government compared with $16.9 billion at the end of 2001.

 

Approximately $3.3 billion of the overall backlog figure represents the unperformed portion of direct orders from foreign governments. Approximately $1.4 billion of the overall backlog represents non-government foreign backlog.

 

Approximately $13.6 billion of the $25.7 billion 2002 year-end backlog is not expected to be filled during the following twelve months. For additional information related to backlog figures, see “Segment Results” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

During 2002, Raytheon expended $449 million on research and development efforts compared with $456 million in 2001 and $507 million in 2000. These expenditures principally have been for product development for the Government and for aircraft products. In addition, Raytheon conducts funded research and development activities under Government contracts which is included in net sales. For additional information related to research and development efforts, see “Note A – Accounting Policies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

RAW MATERIALS, SUPPLIERS AND SEASONALITY

 

Delivery of raw materials and supplies to Raytheon is generally satisfactory. Raytheon is sometimes dependent, for a variety of reasons, upon sole-source suppliers for procurement requirements. However, Raytheon has experienced no significant difficulties in meeting production and delivery obligations because of delays in delivery or reliance on such suppliers. In recent years, revenues in the second half of the year have generally exceeded revenues in the first half. The timing of Government awards, the availability of Government funding, product deliveries and customer acceptance are among the factors affecting the periods in which revenues are recorded. Management expects this trend to continue in 2003.

 

COMPETITION

 

The Company’s defense electronics businesses are direct participants in most major areas of development in the defense, space, information gathering, data reduction and automation fields. Technical superiority and reputation, price, delivery schedules, financing, and reliability are among the principal competitive factors considered by defense electronics customers. The on-going consolidation of the U.S. and global defense, space and aerospace industries continues to intensify competition. Consolidation among U.S. defense, space and aerospace companies has resulted in a reduction in the number of principal prime contractors. As a result of this consolidation, the Company frequently partners on various programs with its major suppliers, some of whom are, from time to time, competitors on other programs.

 

The Aircraft segment competes primarily with four other companies in the business aviation industry. The principal factors for competition in the industry are price, financing, operating costs, product reliability, cabin size and comfort, product quality, travel range and speed, and product support. The Company believes it possesses competitive advantages in the breadth of our product line, the performance of our product line, and the strength of our product support.

 

PATENTS AND LICENSES

 

Raytheon and its subsidiaries own a large intellectual property portfolio which includes, by way of example, United States and foreign patents, unpatented know-how, trademarks and copyrights, all of which contribute significantly to the preservation of the Company’s competitive position in the market. In certain instances, Raytheon has augmented its technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. Although these patents and licenses are, in the aggregate, important to the operation of the Company’s business, no existing patent, license, or similar intellectual property right is of such importance that its loss or termination would, in the opinion of management, have a material effect on the Company’s business.

 

EMPLOYMENT

 

As of December 31, 2002, Raytheon had approximately 76,400 employees compared with approximately 87,200 employees at the end of 2001. The decrease is mainly due to divestitures during 2002.

 

Raytheon considers its union-management relationships to be satisfactory. In 2002, there was one work stoppage of 17 weeks involving less than one half of 1% of the workforce.

 

INTERNATIONAL SALES

 

Raytheon’s sales to customers outside the United States (including foreign military sales) were 21% of total sales in 2002, 22% of total sales in 2001 and 20% of total sales in 2000. These sales were principally in the fields of air defense systems, air traffic control systems, sonar systems, aircraft products, electronic equipment, computer software and systems, personnel training, equipment maintenance and microwave communication. Foreign subsidiary working capital requirements generally are financed in the countries concerned. Sales and income from international operations are subject

Table of Contents

 

to changes in currency values, domestic and foreign government policies (including requirements to expend a portion of program funds in-country) and regulations, embargoes and international hostilities. Exchange restrictions imposed by various countries could restrict the transfer of funds between countries and between Raytheon and its subsidiaries. Raytheon generally has been able to protect itself against most undue risks through insurance, foreign exchange contracts, contract provisions, government guarantees or progress payments. See revenues derived from external customers and long-lived assets by geographical areas set forth in “Note P – Business Segment Reporting” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

Raytheon utilizes the services of sales representatives and distributors in connection with foreign sales. Normally representatives are paid commissions and distributors are granted resale discounts in return for services rendered.

 

The export from the U.S. of many of Raytheon’s products may require the issuance of a license by the U.S. Department of State under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, as amended (formerly the Foreign Military Sales Act); or by the U.S. Department of Commerce under the Export Administration Act, as amended, and its implementing Regulations as kept in force by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, as amended (“IEEPA”); or by the U.S. Department of the Treasury under IEEPA or the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, as amended. Such licenses may be denied for reasons of U.S. national security or foreign policy. In the case of certain exports of defense equipment and services, the Department of State must notify Congress at least 15 or 30 days (depending on the identity of the country that will utilize the equipment and services) prior to authorizing such exports. During that time, the Congress may take action to block a proposed export by joint resolution which is subject to Presidential veto.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The following are some of the factors the Company believes could cause its actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results.

 

Because we have sold a number of our business units in recent years, our business is less diversified, which could reduce our earnings and might make us more susceptible to negative conditions in our remaining businesses.

 

Consistent with our strategy of focusing on and streamlining our core businesses and paying down our debt, during 2000, 2001 and 2002, we divested several non-core business units. In March 2002, we sold our Aircraft Integration Systems business. As a result of these divestitures, we no longer receive revenues from these operations and, without offsetting increases in revenues in our other businesses, our overall revenues would decrease, which would have a negative effect on our financial condition.

 

In addition, as a result of these divestitures, our business is now less diversified and thus more dependent on our remaining businesses. As a result, we are now more sensitive to conditions and trends in the remaining industries in which we operate. Negative conditions and trends in these remaining industries could cause our financial condition and results of operations to suffer more heavily than would occur when our business lines were more diversified. Our inability to overcome these negative conditions and trends could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

 

We heavily depend on our government contracts, which are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination and heavily regulated and audited, and the termination or failure to fund one or more of these contracts could have a negative impact on our operations.

 

We act as prime contractor or major subcontractor for many different Government programs. Over its lifetime, a program may be implemented by the award of many different individual contracts and subcontracts. The funding of Government programs is subject to congressional appropriations. Although multiple year contracts may be planned in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may continue for several years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. The termination of funding for a Government program would result in a loss of anticipated future revenues attributable to that program. That could have a negative impact on our operations. In addition, the termination of a program or failure to commit additional funds to a program already started could increase our overall costs of doing business.

 

Generally, Government contracts are subject to oversight audits by Government representatives and contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the Government’s convenience upon the payment of compensation only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination. We can give no assurance that one or more of our Government contracts will not be terminated under these circumstances. Also, we can give no assurance that we

would be able to procure new Government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of any termination of our contracts. As our revenues are dependent on our procurement, performance and payment under our contracts, the loss of one or more critical contracts could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

 

Our government business is also subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of socio-economic and other requirements. These requirements, although customary in Government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs. These costs might increase in the future, reducing our margins, which could have a negative effect on our financial condition. Failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes, including those related to:

 

  procurement integrity
  export control
  government security regulations
  employment practices
  protection of the environment
  accuracy of records and the recording of costs
  foreign corruption

 

The termination of a Government contract or relationship as a result of any of these acts would have a negative impact on our operations and could have a negative effect on our reputation and ability to procure other Government contracts in the future.

 

In addition, sales to the Government may be affected by:

 

  changes in procurement policies
  budget considerations
  unexpected developments such as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which change concepts of national defense
  political developments abroad, such as those occurring in the wake of the September 11 attacks

 

The influence of any of these factors, which are largely beyond our control, could also negatively impact our financial condition. We also may experience problems associated with advanced designs required by the Government which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. Failure to overcome these technological difficulties and the occurrence of cost overruns would have a negative impact on our results.

 

We depend on the U.S. Government for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of this relationship or a shift in Government funding could have severe consequences on the financial condition of Raytheon.

 

Approximately 73% of our net sales in 2002 were for the U.S. Government. Therefore, any significant disruption or deterioration of our relationship with the U.S. Government would significantly reduce our revenues. Our U.S. Government programs must compete with programs managed by other defense contractors for a limited number of programs and for uncertain levels of funding. Our competitors continuously engage in efforts to expand their business relationships with the U.S. Government at our expense and are likely to continue these efforts in the future. The U.S. Government may choose to use other defense contractors for its limited number of defense programs. In addition, the funding of defense programs also competes with non-defense spending of the U.S. Government. Budget decisions made by the U.S. Government are outside of our control and have long-term consequences for the size and structure of Raytheon. A shift in Government defense spending to other programs in which we are not involved or a reduction in U.S. Government defense spending generally could have severe consequences for our results of operations.

 

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from international sales and are subject to the risks of doing business in foreign countries.

 

In 2002, sales to international customers accounted for approximately 21% of our net sales. We expect that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result, we are subject to risks of doing business internationally, including:

Table of Contents
  changes in regulatory requirements
  domestic and foreign government policies, including requirements to expend a portion of program funds locally and governmental industrial cooperation requirements
  fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
  delays in placing orders
  the complexity and necessity of using foreign representatives and consultants
  the uncertainty of adequate and available transportation
  the uncertainty of the ability of foreign customers to finance purchases
  uncertainties and restrictions concerning the availability of funding credit or guarantees
  imposition of tariffs or embargoes, export controls and other trade restrictions
  the difficulty of management and operation of an enterprise spread over various countries
  compliance with a variety of foreign laws, as well as U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad
  economic and geopolitical developments and conditions, including international hostilities, acts of terrorism and governmental reactions, inflation, trade relationships and military and political alliances

 

While these factors or the impact of these factors are difficult to predict, any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our operations in the future.

 

We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses to conduct operations abroad, and Congress may prevent proposed sales to foreign governments.

 

Licenses for the export of many of our products are required from government agencies in accordance with various statutory authorities, including the Export Administration Act of 1979, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 and the Arms Export Control Act of 1976. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining these necessary licenses in order to conduct business abroad. In the case of certain sales of defense equipment and services to foreign governments, the U.S. Department of State must notify the Congress at least 15 to 30 days, depending on the size and location of the sale, prior to authorizing these sales. During that time, the Congress may take action to block the proposed sale.

 

Competition within our markets may reduce our procurement of future contracts and our sales.

 

The military and commercial industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Our competitors range from highly resourceful small concerns, which engineer and produce specialized items, to large, diversified firms. Several established and emerging companies offer a variety of products for applications similar to those of our products. Our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. There can be no assurance that we can continue to compete effectively with these firms. In addition, some of our largest customers could develop the capability to manufacture products similar to products that we manufacture. This would result in these customers supplying their own products and competing directly with us for sales of these products, all of which could significantly reduce our revenues and seriously harm our business.

 

Furthermore, we are facing increased international competition and cross-border consolidation of competition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not result in reduced revenues and market share or seriously harm our business.

 

Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new technologies that achieve market acceptance.

 

Both our commercial and defense markets are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our future performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

 

  identify emerging technological trends in our target markets
  develop and maintain competitive products
  enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors
  manufacture and bring products to market quickly at cost-effective prices
  effectively structure our businesses, through the use of joint ventures, teaming agreements, and other forms of alliances, to the competitive environment

 

Specifically, at Raytheon Aircraft Company, our future success is dependent on our ability to meet scheduled timetables for

 

12


Table of Contents

the development, certification and delivery of new product offerings.

 

We believe that, in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to develop new products, which will require the investment of significant financial resources. The need to make these expenditures could divert our attention and resources from other projects, and we cannot be sure that these expenditures will ultimately lead to the timely development of new technology. Due to the design complexity of our products, we may in the future experience delays in completing development and introduction of new products. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market for our products will develop or continue to expand as we currently anticipate. The failure of our technology to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of our products. The possibility that our competitors might develop new technology or products might cause our existing technology and products to become obsolete. If we fail in our new product development efforts or our products fail to achieve market acceptance more rapidly than our competitors, our revenues will decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively affected.

 

We enter into fixed-price contracts which could subject us to losses in the event that we have cost overruns.

 

Generally we enter into contracts on a firm, fixed-price basis. This allows us to benefit from cost savings, but we carry the burden of cost overruns. If our initial estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. In addition, some of our contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts then we may not realize their full benefits. Our financial condition is dependent on our ability to maximize our earnings from our contracts. Lower earnings caused by cost overruns and cost controls would have a negative impact on our financial results.

 

We may incur additional charges in connection with the sale of the Company’s Engineering and Construction Business to Washington Group International, Inc. (“WGI”), including in connection with the satisfaction of support agreement obligations.

 

We have significant letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees and other support agreements in place related to a number of leases and other agreements of our engineering and construction business unit (“E&C Business”), which we sold to WGI in July 2000. Many of these relate to ongoing engineering and construction projects, including two large power plants being built in Massachusetts that WGI has abandoned (the “Massachusetts Projects”).

 

To the extent the Company has outstanding support agreements, the Company has honored those agreements and is working on those projects. There are risks that the costs incurred on these projects will increase beyond the Company’s estimates because of factors such as: equipment and subcontractor performance; performance of critical suppliers; the timing of project completion and customer acceptance; the continued decline of craft labor productivity and the successful completion of performance tests at the Massachusetts Projects; the Company’s inability to recover amounts required to be paid in connection with pre-funded liquidated damages; the Company’s lack of construction industry expertise resulting from the sale of the E&C Business to WGI; the recoverability of claims and the outcome of defending claims asserted against the Company; in connection with projects where construction has been completed, the risks associated with punch list items, warranty, retesting, commercial closeout and claims resolution phase of the project; and risks inherent with large long-term fixed price contracts and their final resolution and close out.

 

During 2002, we recorded charges totaling $796 million relating to the Massachusetts Projects. We also recorded charges totaling $53 million for warranty and start-up costs, final reliability testing and punch list items, and a contract adjustment relating to three other construction projects.

 

While these potential obligations, liabilities and risks or the impact of them are difficult to predict, any one or more of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.

 

The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

We are defendants in a number of litigation matters. These claims may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims made in each and all of the litigation matters to which we have been named a party, and intend to contest each lawsuit

 

13


Table of Contents

 

vigorously, no assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could seriously harm our business.

 

Due to the specialized nature of our businesses, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our key engineering personnel and executive officers. Our prospects depend upon our ability to attract and retain qualified engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Competition for personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. Our failure to compete for these personnel could seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions.

 

Approximately 12,000 of our employees are unionized, which represented approximately 16% of our employees at December 31, 2002. As a result, we may experience prolonged work stoppages, which could adversely affect our business, and we are vulnerable to the demands imposed by our collective bargaining relationships. We cannot predict how stable these relationships, currently with 9 different U.S. labor organizations and 4 different non-U.S. labor organizations, will be or whether we will be able to meet the requirements of these unions without impacting the financial condition of Raytheon. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. Work stoppages and instability in our union relationships could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, resulting in strain on our relationships with our customers, as well as a loss of revenues. That would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which could affect our ability to compete.

 

Protecting our intellectual property rights is critical to our ability to compete and succeed as a company. We own a large number of United States and foreign patents and patent applications, as well as trademark, copyright and semiconductor chip mask work registrations which are necessary and contribute significantly to the preservation of our competitive position in the market. There can be no assurance that any of these patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. In some instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. In the future, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms. We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees, and enter into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers and appropriate customers so as to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. These measures may not suffice to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of similar technologies. Moreover, the protection provided to our intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may not be as advantageous to us as the remedies available under United States law.

 

Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.

 

Because we use and generate large quantities of hazardous substances and wastes in our manufacturing operations, we are subject to potentially material liabilities related to personal injuries or property damages that may be caused by hazardous substance releases and exposures. For example, we are investigating and remediating contamination related to our current or past practices at numerous properties and, in some cases, have been named as a defendant in related personal injury or “toxic tort” claims.

 

We are also subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations that impose strict requirements for the proper management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, restrict air and water emissions from our manufacturing operations, and require maintenance of a safe workplace. These laws and regulations can impose substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and require the installation of costly pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, substantial capital and operating costs to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Provisions in our charter documents and rights agreement could make it more difficult to acquire Raytheon and may reduce the market price of our stock.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain certain provisions, such as a classified board of directors, a provision prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, a provision prohibiting stockholders from calling special meetings and a provision authorizing our Board of Directors to consider factors other than stockholders’ short-term interests in evaluating an offer involving a change in control. Also, we have a shareholder rights plan, which limits the ability of any person to acquire more than 15% of our common stock. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Raytheon or the removal of Raytheon management, of deterring potential acquirors from making an offer to our stockholders and of limiting any opportunity to realize premiums over prevailing market prices for Raytheon common stock. Provisions of the shareholder rights agreement, which is incorporated as an exhibit to this filing, could also have the effect of deterring changes of control of Raytheon.

 

We depend on component availability, subcontractor performance and our key suppliers to manufacture and deliver our products and services.

 

Our manufacturing operations are highly dependent upon the delivery of materials by outside suppliers in a timely manner. In addition, we depend in part upon subcontractors to assemble major components and subsystems used in our products in a timely and satisfactory manner. While we enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with a few of our suppliers, we cannot be sure that materials, components, and subsystems will be available in the quantities we require, if at all. We are dependent for some purposes on sole-source suppliers. If any of these sole-source suppliers fails to meet our needs, we may not have readily available alternatives. Our inability to fill our supply needs would jeopardize our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our obligations under government and other contracts. This might result in reduced sales, termination of one or more of these contracts and damage to our reputation and relationships with our customers. All of these events could have a negative effect on our financial condition.

 

The unpredictability of our results may harm the trading price of our securities, or contribute to volatility.

 

Our operating results may vary significantly over time for a variety of reasons, many of which are outside of our control, and any of which may harm our business. The value of our securities may fluctuate as a result of considerations that are difficult to forecast, such as:

 

  volume and timing of product orders received and delivered

 

  levels of product demand

 

  consumer and government spending patterns

 

  the timing of contract receipt and funding

 

  our ability and the ability of our key suppliers to respond to changes in customer orders

 

  timing of our new product introductions and the new product introductions of our competitors

 

  changes in the mix of our products

 

  cost and availability of components and subsystems

 

  price erosion

 

  adoption of new technologies and industry standards

 

  competitive factors, including pricing, availability and demand for competing products

 

  fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

 

  conditions in the capital markets and the availability of project financing

 

  regulatory developments

 

  general economic conditions, particularly the cyclical nature of the general aviation market in which we participate

 

  our ability to obtain licenses from the U.S. Government to sell products abroad.

Item 2. Properties

 

The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a number of plants, laboratories, warehouses and office facilities in the United States and abroad.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company utilized approximately 34 million square feet of floor space for manufacturing, engineering, research, administration, sales and warehousing, approximately 95% of which was located in the United States. Of this total, approximately 44% was owned, approximately 52% was leased, and approximately 4% was made available under facilities contracts for use in the performance of U.S. Government contracts. At December 31, 2002 the Company had approximately 1.4 million square feet of additional floor space that was not in use, including approximately 525,000 square feet in Company-owned facilities.

 

There are no major encumbrances on any of the Company’s facilities other than financing arrangements which in the aggregate are not material. In the opinion of management, the Company’s properties have been well maintained, are in sound operating condition and are adequate for the Company to operate at present levels.

Additional information regarding the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and the resolution of environmental claims against the Company and its operations is contained in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 of this Form 10-K, in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” immediately below, in “Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K and in “Note M – Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is primarily engaged in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the U.S. Government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Company’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. Government investigations of the Company, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Company, 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 the Company. Defense contractors are also subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies which oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the General Accounting Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. The Department of Justice from time to time has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by the Company.

 

As previously reported, during late 1999, the Company and two of its officers were named as defendants in several purported class action lawsuits. These lawsuits were consolidated into a single complaint in June 2000, when four additional former or present officers were named as defendants in a Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”) with the caption, In Re Raytheon Securities Litigation (Civil Action No. 12142-PBS), filed in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. The Consolidated Complaint principally alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by purportedly making misleading statements and by failing to disclose material information concerning the Company’s financial performance during the purported class period. In September 2000, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs opposed the motions. The court heard arguments in February 2001, and in August 2001 the court issued an order dismissing most of the claims asserted against the Company and the individual defendants. In March 2002, the court certified the class of plaintiffs as

 

17


Table of Contents

 

those people who purchased Raytheon stock between October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999. On March 17, 2003 the named plaintiff filed a Second Consolidated and Amended Complaint which did not change the claims against the Company or the individual defendants, but which seeks to add the Company’s auditor as an additional defendant. Discovery is proceeding on the two circumstances that remain the subject of claims.

 

As previously reported, the Company also was named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at the time (except one) were named as defendants in purported derivative lawsuits filed on October 25, 1999 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County by Ralph Mirarchi and others (No. 17495- NC), and on November 24, 1999 in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Superior Court by John Chevedden (No. 99-5782). On February 28, 2000, Mr. Chevedden filed another derivative action in the Delaware Chancery Court entitled John Chevedden v. Daniel P. Burnham, et al., (No. 17838- NC) and on March 22, 2000, Mr. Chevedden’s Massachusetts derivative action was dismissed. The Mirarchi and Chevedden derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the Consolidated Complaint in the In Re Raytheon Securities Litigation, and further allege that the defendants purportedly breached fiduciary duties to the Company and allegedly failed to exercise due care and diligence in the management and administration of the affairs of the Company. In December 2001 the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Mirarchi complaint (the only one of these actions for which service of process of the complaint was by then completed.) The court has since consolidated the Mirachi and Chevedden actions, and plaintiffs have filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint. The defendants have advised the court that they intend to file a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint.

 

As previously reported, in June 2001, a purported class action lawsuit entitled, Muzinich & Co., Inc. et al v. Raytheon Company, et. al., (Civil Action No. 01-0284-S-BLW) was filed in federal court in Boise, Idaho allegedly on behalf of all purchasers of common stock or senior notes of Washington Group International, Inc. (“WGI”) during the period April 17, 2000 through March 1, 2001 (the class period). The putative plaintiff class claims to have suffered harm by purchasing WGI securities because the Company and certain of its officers allegedly violated federal securities laws by purportedly misrepresenting the true financial condition of RE&C in order to sell RE&C to WGI at an artificially inflated price. An amended complaint was filed on October 1, 2001 alleging similar claims. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion seeking to dismiss the action in mid-November 2001. On April 30, 2002, the Court denied the Company’s and the individual defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. Thereafter, the defendants filed a petition with the District Court requesting permission to seek an immediate appeal of the District Court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which the District Court granted on July 1, 2002. In August 2002, the Ninth Circuit issued an order denying the petition for interlocutory appeal. Defendants have filed their answer to the amended complaint and discovery is proceeding.

 

As previously reported, the Company has been named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at the time have been named as defendants in two identical purported derivative lawsuits filed in Chancery Court in New Castle County, Delaware in July 2001, entitled Melvin P. Haar v. Barbara M. Barrett, et. al., (Civil Action No. 19018) and Howard Lasker v. Barbara M. Barrett, et. al., (Civil Action No. 19027). The Haar and Lasker derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the Muzinich class action complaint and further allege that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and purportedly failed to maintain systems necessary for prudent management and control of the Company’s operations. In December 2001 the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Haar complaint, the only one of these actions for which service was by then completed. In addition, the Company has been named as a nominal defendant and members of its Board of Directors and several current and former officers have been named as defendants in another purported shareholder derivative action entitled Richard J. Kager v. Daniel P. Burnham, et. al., (Civil Action No. 01-11180-JLT) filed in July 2001 in the U. S. District Court in Massachusetts. The Kager derivative complaint contains allegations similar to those included in the Muzinich complaint, and further alleges that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and purportedly failed to maintain systems necessary for prudent management and control of the Company’s operations. On June 28, 2002, all of the defendants in the Kager matter filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In September 2002, the plaintiff agreed voluntarily to dismiss this action without prejudice so that the plaintiff may re-file the action in Delaware.

 

Although the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims made in each and all of the aforementioned complaints and intends to contest each proceeding vigorously, an adverse resolution of any of the proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuits are resolved. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to any of the lawsuits.

 

On November 25, 2002, the SEC instituted and settled cease-and-desist proceedings against the Company and a former executive officer of the Company for alleged violations of Regulation FD in February 2001. The settlement did not impose any civil penalty or other monetary sanctions against the Company or any of its employees. The Company neither admitted nor denied the findings in the SEC’s cease-and-desist order.

On February 27, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, the U.S. Customs Service, and the office of Defense Trade Controls of the U.S. Department of State to resolve the U.S. government’s investigation of the contemplated sale by the Company of troposcatter radio equipment to a customer in Pakistan. According to the terms of the settlement, the Company paid a $23 million civil penalty, and will spend $2 million to improve the Company’s export compliance program. In addition, the Company has agreed to appoint a special compliance officer from outside the Company to oversee the Company’s export activities principally at the communications business of NCS. The amount of the civil penalty was fully reserved and, therefore, will not affect the Company’s results of operations.

 

As previously reported, in June 2002 the Company received service of a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The subpoena seeks documents relating to the activities of an international sales representative engaged by the Company relating to a foreign military sales contract in Korea in the late 1990s. The Company has in place appropriate compliance policies and procedures, and believes its conduct has been consistent with those policies and procedures. The Company continues to cooperate fully with the Government’s investigation.

 

The Company continues to cooperate with the staff of the SEC on an investigation related to the Company’s accounting practices primarily related to the commuter aircraft business and the timing of revenue recognition at Raytheon Aircraft from 1997 to 2001. The Company has been providing documents and information to the SEC staff. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or any action that the SEC might take.

 

Several claims have been asserted and certain proceedings have been commenced against the Company and certain third parties seeking schedule and performance liquidated damages and payment under certain outstanding Company guarantees in connection with the Jindal, Posven, Ratchaburi, Saltend, Ilijan and Red Oak construction contracts. These contracts were rejected by WGI in bankruptcy. Additionally, several other proceedings have been commenced against the Company by parties that had contractual relationships with certain former indirect subsidiaries of the Company which comprised its engineering and construction business. These former indirect subsidiaries were transferred to WGI in the sale of the engineering and construction business to WGI. The plaintiffs in these proceedings have alleged that the Company is responsible to them on various theories including alter ego liability and the assignment to, and/or the assumption by, the Company of the former indirect subsidiaries’ obligations. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, any liability arising from them will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations after giving effect to provisions already recorded.

 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup relative to remediation of various environmental sites. All appropriate costs expected to be incurred in connection therewith have been accrued. 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 the Company’s responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters. However, in the opinion of management, any liability will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Additional information regarding the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and the resolution of environmental claims against the Company and its operations is contained in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 of this Report, in “Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K and in “Note M – Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

Accidents involving personal injuries and property damage occur in general aviation travel. When permitted by appropriate government agencies, Raytheon Aircraft investigates accidents related to its products involving fatalities or serious injuries. Through a relationship with FlightSafety International, Raytheon Aircraft provides initial and recurrent pilot and maintenance training services to reduce the frequency of accidents involving its products.

 

Raytheon Aircraft is a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits that allege personal injury and property damage and seek substantial recoveries including, in some cases, punitive and exemplary damages. Raytheon Aircraft maintains partial insurance coverage against such claims and maintains a level of uninsured risk determined by management to be prudent. Additional information regarding aircraft product liability insurance is contained in “Note M – Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

The insurance policies for product liability coverage held by Raytheon Aircraft do not exclude punitive damages, and it is the position of Raytheon Aircraft and its counsel that punitive damage claims are therefore covered. Historically, the defense of punitive damage claims has been undertaken and paid by insurance carriers. Under the law of some states,

however, insurers are not required to respond to judgments for punitive damages. Nevertheless, to date no judgments for punitive damages have been sustained.

 

Various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened on behalf of or against the Company. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, any liability arising from them will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations after giving effect to provisions already recorded.

Item 7.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Raytheon Company (the “Company”) is one of the largest defense electronics contractors in the world, serving all branches of the U.S. military and other U.S. government agencies, NATO, and many allied governments. The Company is a leader in defense electronics, including missiles; radar; sensors and electro-optics; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR); command, control, communication, and information systems; naval systems; air traffic control systems; and technical services. The Company’s defense electronics businesses are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in missile defense; precision engagement; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and homeland security. Due to the multi-year defense spending cycle, recent increased budget authorizations in these areas are expected to favorably impact the Company’s defense electronics businesses over the next several years. Raytheon’s commercial electronics businesses leverage defense technologies in commercial markets.

 

Raytheon Aircraft is a leading provider of business and special mission aircraft and delivers a broad line of jet, turboprop, and piston-powered airplanes to corporate and government customers worldwide. The Company continues to see soft demand for new and used aircraft in 2003.

 

Defense Industry Considerations

 

Few recent developments have altered the defense and security environment of the United States as dramatically as the events of September 11, 2001. In response, the U.S. has committed itself to a long-term war on terrorism. Simultaneously, the U.S. must also replenish war materials consumed during operations in Afghanistan while also making progress toward Secretary Rumsfeld’s goal of military transformation. The latest U.S. Department of Defense budget reflects these three diverse objectives.

 

Military transformation, which had been under review prior to September 11th, is expected to gain momentum. Secretary Rumsfeld is focused on 4 pillars of transformation:

 

Ÿ Strengthening joint operations

 

Ÿ Experimenting with new approaches to warfare

 

Ÿ Exploiting U.S. intelligence advantages

 

Ÿ Developing transformational capabilities

 

Transformation is focused on meeting the military challenges of the future. In this new environment, the need for advanced technology and defense electronics is clear. In order to respond quickly to global threats and protect our forces in-theater, the U.S. will have to rely more heavily on intelligence and instantaneous, secure communication. At the same time, our military must also help defend the homeland against terrorist and missile attack.

 

The Company’s strategy is focused on meeting domestic and international customers’ needs in areas where the Company has both experience and technology discriminators. The Company’s growth strategy is focused on four strategic business areas:

 

Ÿ Missile Defense

 

Ÿ Precision Engagement

 

Ÿ Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance

 

Ÿ Homeland Security

 

The President has made a commitment to have a U.S. missile defense system operational by 2004. The Company has a broad array of technology and capabilities in this growing area. From the Company’s hit-to-kill weapons, to radar sensors, to space-based infrared sensors, to command and control, the Company is positioned to meet the nation’s needs.

 

While the Company’s position as a leader in Missile Defense is well recognized, Precision Engagement is a much broader concept. It includes the identification and tracking of targets as well as engagement and effectiveness assessment. The Company produces products across the entire engagement chain.

 

The Company’s innovative sensing, processing, and dissemination technologies effectively compress the information gap from hours to minutes. The Company’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance programs cover the full spectrum of information management, providing the ability to task, collect, process, exploit, and disseminate national and tactical target data. These abilities are crucial for warfighters to achieve information dominance throughout the entire battlespace.

 

In the area of Homeland Security, the Company has skills, experience, and technology in areas such as airport security; command, control, and communications; and the integration and fusion of sensory inputs for real-time decision support. This is still a new market with significant uncertainty and the ultimate customers and available funding have yet to be determined.

 

Unlike many major defense contractors, the Company provides electronics for a wide range of missions and platforms. The Company has several thousand programs. This reduces some of the risk and volatility often inherent in the defense industry.

 

The Company generally acts as a prime contractor or subcontractor on its programs. The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to Congressional authorization and appropriation. While Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis, major defense programs are usually conducted under binding contracts over multiple years, which provides a level of continuity uncommon to many industries. The termination of funding for a U.S. government program could result in a loss of future revenues, which would have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. U.S. government contracts are generally subject to oversight audits and contain provisions for termination. Failure to comply with U.S. government regulations could lead to suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting.

 

Sales to the U.S. government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing defense requirements, and political developments. The influence of these factors, which are largely beyond the Company’s control, could impact the Company’s operations.

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Net sales were $16.8 billion in 2002, $16.0 billion in 2001, and $15.8 billion in 2000. Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense were 62 percent of sales in 2002 and 59 percent in 2001 and 2000. Total sales to the U.S. government, including foreign military sales, were 73 percent of sales in 2002, 70 percent in 2001, and 65 percent in 2000. International sales, including foreign military sales, were 21 percent of sales in 2002, 22 percent in 2001, and 20 percent in 2000.

 

Gross margin, net sales less cost of sales, was $3.4 billion in 2002, $2.4 billion in 2001, and $3.2 billion in 2000, or 20.3 percent of sales in 2002, 14.7 percent in 2001, and 20.3 percent in 2000. Included in gross margin in 2001 were charges of $745 million at Raytheon Aircraft, described below in Segment Results, and goodwill amortization of $334 million which was discontinued January 1, 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, described below. Included in gross margin in 2000 was a $74 million favorable adjustment to restructuring-related reserves that was more than offset by unfavorable contract adjustments. Also included in gross margin in 2000 was goodwill amortization of $337 million. Excluding the Raytheon Aircraft charges and goodwill amortization, gross margin was $3.4 billion or 21.4 percent of sales in 2001. Excluding goodwill amortization, gross margin was $3.5 billion or 22.4 percent of sales in 2000. The decrease in gross margin as a percent of sales in 2002 was due to lower pension income. The decrease in gross margin as a percent of sales in 2001 was due to lower margins at Raytheon Aircraft. Included in gross margin was pension income of $89 million, $297 million, and $143 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Beginning in the first quarter of 2003, the Company will change the way pension expense or income is reported in the Company’s segment results, described below in Segment Reorganization.

 

Administrative and selling expenses were $1,199 million or 7.2 percent of sales in 2002, $1,131 million or 7.1 percent of sales in 2001, and $1,117 million or 7.1 percent of sales in 2000.

 

Research and development expenses were $449 million or 2.7 percent of sales in 2002, $456 million or 2.8 percent of sales in 2001, and $507 million or 3.2 percent of sales in 2000. The decrease in research and development expenses in 2002 and 2001 was due to more focused research and development efforts and new program investments made in 2000.

 

Operating income was $1,754 million or 10.5 percent of sales in 2002, $766 million or 4.8 percent of sales in 2001, and $1,580 million or 10.0 percent of sales in 2000. Excluding the Raytheon Aircraft charges and goodwill amortization, operating income was $1,845 million or 11.5 percent of sales in 2001. Excluding goodwill amortization,

operating income was $1,917 million or 12.1 percent of sales in 2000. The changes in operating income by segment are described below in Segment Results.

 

Interest expense from continuing operations was $497 million in 2002, $696 million in 2001, and $761 million in 2000. In 2002 and 2001, the Company allocated $79 million and $18 million, respectively, of interest expense to discontinued operations. The Company will not allocate interest expense to discontinued operations in 2003. Total interest expense was $576 million in 2002 and $714 million in 2001. The decrease in 2002 and 2001 was due to lower average debt and lower weighted-average cost of borrowing due, in part, to the interest rate swaps entered into in 2001, described below in Capital Structure and Resources. The weighted-average cost of borrowing was 6.7 percent in 2002, 7.1 percent in 2001, and 7.3 percent in 2000.

 

Interest income was $27 million in 2002, $36 million in 2001, and $25 million in 2000.

 

Other expense, net was $210 million in 2002 versus other income, net of $18 million in 2001 and other expense, net of $12 million in 2000. Included in other expense, net in 2002 was a $175 million charge to write off the Company’s investment in Space Imaging® and accrue for a related credit facility guarantee on which the Company expects to make payment in 2003, described below in Major Affiliated Entities, and a $29 million gain on the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters. Other income and expense also included gains and losses on divestitures and equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries, as described in Note S, Other Income and Expense of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The effective tax rate was 29.7 percent in 2002, reflecting the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent reduced by foreign sales corporation tax credits, ESOP dividend deductions, and research and development tax credits applicable to certain government contracts. The effective tax rate was 85.5 percent in 2001, reflecting the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent reduced by foreign sales corporation tax credits, ESOP dividend deductions, and research and development tax credits applicable to certain government contracts, and increased by non-deductible amortization of goodwill. The effective tax rate was 42.7 percent in 2000, reflecting the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent reduced by foreign sales corporation tax credits and research and development tax credits applicable to certain government contracts, and increased by non-deductible amortization of goodwill. Excluding the effect of the Raytheon Aircraft charges and goodwill amortization, the effective tax rate was 32.9 percent in 2001. Excluding the effect of goodwill amortization, the effective tax rate was 32.7 percent in 2000. At December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $1.2 billion that expire in 2020 through 2022 and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $87 million that expire in 2005 through 2007. The Company believes it will be able to utilize all of these carryforwards over the next 3 to 4 years.

 

Income from continuing operations was $755 million or $1.85 per diluted share on 408.0 million average shares outstanding in 2002, $18 million or $0.05 per diluted share on 361.3 million average shares outstanding in 2001, and $477 million or $1.40 per diluted share on 341.1 million average shares outstanding in 2000. Excluding the Raytheon Aircraft charges and goodwill amortization, income from continuing operations was $807 million or $2.23 per diluted share in 2001. Excluding goodwill amortization, income from continuing operations was $787 million or $2.31 per diluted share in 2000. The increase in average shares outstanding was due primarily to the issuance of 14,375,000 and 31,578,900 shares of common stock in May and October 2001, respectively.

 

The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, described below in Discontinued Operations, was $887 million or $2.17 per diluted share in 2002, $757 million or $2.10 per diluted share in 2001, and $339 million or $0.99 per diluted share in 2000.

 

There was an extraordinary gain from debt repurchases of $1 million after-tax in 2002 and an extraordinary loss from debt repurchases of $16 million after-tax or $0.04 per diluted share in 2001.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). This accounting standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets and requires that goodwill amortization be discontinued and replaced with periodic tests of impairment. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill amortization was discontinued as of January 1, 2002. In 2002, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $360 million related to its former Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS) as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. Due to the non-deductibility of this goodwill, the Company did not record a tax benefit in connection with this impairment. Also in 2002, the Company completed its transitional review for potential goodwill impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, whereby the Company utilized a market multiple approach to determine the fair value of the 13 reporting units within the defense businesses and allocated goodwill to the defense businesses based upon an estimate of the fair value of the portion of a previously acquired company contribution to the new segment. The Company utilized a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of the commercial business reporting units. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $185 million pretax or $149 million after-tax, which represented all of the goodwill at Raytheon Aircraft, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The Company also determined that there was no impairment of goodwill related to any of its defense businesses beyond the $360 million related to AIS. The total goodwill impairment charge in 2002 was $545 million pretax, $509 million after-tax, or $1.25 per diluted share.

 

The net loss was $640 million or $1.57 per diluted share in 2002 versus $755 million or $2.09 per diluted share in 2001 and net income of $138 million or $0.40 per diluted share in 2000. Excluding the Raytheon Aircraft charges and goodwill amortization, net income was $62 million or $0.17 per diluted share in 2001. Excluding goodwill amortization, net income was $481 million or $1.41 per diluted share in 2000.

 

Prior Period Restructuring Initiatives

 

The Company essentially completed all prior period restructuring initiatives in 2000 except for ongoing idle facility costs. At December 31, 2002, the accrued liability related to prior period restructuring initiatives was $4 million.

 

In 2002, the Company determined that the cost of certain prior period restructuring initiatives would be lower than originally planned and recorded a $4 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales, a $3 million favorable adjustment to general and administrative expenses, and a $1 million reduction in goodwill.

 

In 2001, the Company determined that the cost of certain prior period restructuring initiatives would be lower than originally planned and recorded an $8 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales.

 

In 2000, the Company determined that the cost of certain prior period restructuring initiatives would be lower than originally planned and recorded a $74 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales and an $11 million reduction in goodwill.

ES had 2002 sales of $9.0 billion versus $8.2 billion in 2001 and $7.7 billion in 2000. The increase in sales in 2002 was due to higher U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) expenditures. The increase in sales in 2001 was due to higher volume across most business units. Operating income was $1,260 million in 2002 versus $1,111 million in 2001 and $1,044 million in 2000. Excluding goodwill amortization, operating income was $1,302 million in 2001 and $1,237 million in 2000. The decrease in operating income in 2002 was due to lower pension income, offset by higher volume. The increase in operating income in 2001 was due to higher volume and higher pension income.

 

C3I had 2002 sales of $4.1 billion versus $3.8 billion in 2001 and $3.4 billion in 2000. The increase in sales in 2002 was due to higher U.S. DoD expenditures. The increase in sales in 2001 was due to higher volume in U.S. Navy, domestic air traffic control, classified, and secure network programs. Operating income was $420 million in 2002 versus $396 million in 2001 and $358 million in 2000. Included in operating income in 2002 was a charge related to a dispute on a previously terminated commercial contract and a charge related to a current contract dispute that could affect the collection of amounts due. These charges totaled $20 million. Also included was a charge of $19 million to write down receivables related to programs that ended in prior years. Excluding goodwill amortization, operating income was $496 million in 2001 and $458 million in 2000. The decrease in operating income in 2002 was due to the charges described above, cost growth on certain programs, and lower pension income, offset by higher volume. The increase in operating income in 2001 was due to higher volume and higher pension income.

 

TS had 2002 and 2001 sales of $2.1 billion versus $1.8 billion in 2000. The sales volume at TS remained flat in 2002 despite higher U.S. DoD expenditures due to the loss of several key programs. The increase in sales in 2001 was due to higher volume from new programs. Operating income was $128 million in 2002 versus $158 million in 2001 and $123 million in 2000. Excluding goodwill amortization, operating income was $186 million in 2001 and $152 million in 2000. The decrease in operating income in 2002 was due to a $28 million write-off of contract costs that the Company determined were unbillable. The decrease was offset by a similarly sized reserve at corporate established by the Company in the second half of 2001 to address the issue. The increase in operating income in 2001 was due to higher volume and higher pension income.

 

Commercial Electronics (CE) had 2002 sales of $423 million versus $453 million in 2001 and $666 million in 2000. The decrease in sales in 2002 and 2001 was due to the divestiture of the Company’s recreational marine business in January 2001 and lower

volume at RF Components due to reduced industry-wide demand and pricing pressures for cellular handset components. The operating loss was $4 million in 2002 versus $57 million in 2001 and $4 million in 2000. The decrease in the operating loss in 2002 was due to the closure of certain unprofitable businesses and cost reduction actions taken. The increase in the operating loss in 2001 was due to the decline in volume. Contributing to the loss in 2000 was an $8 million restructuring charge at Raytheon Marine’s High Seas division and investments in new technology ventures, offset by a $21 million favorable settlement on a commercial training contract. Excluding goodwill amortization, CE had an operating loss of $50 million in 2001 and operating income of $4 million in 2000.

 

RAC had 2002 sales of $2.2 billion versus $2.6 billion in 2001 and $3.2 billion in 2000. The decrease in sales was due to lower aircraft deliveries, the divestiture of a majority interest in the Company’s fractional ownership business in March 2002, and the divestiture of a majority interest in the Company’s aviation support business in June 2001. The operating loss was $4 million in 2002 versus $760 million in 2001 and operating income of $159 million in 2000.

 

Included in the 2001 results was a charge of $693 million related to the Company’s commuter aircraft business. This was a result of continued weakness in the commuter aircraft market and the impact of the events of September 11, 2001 on the commuter airline industry. During the first half of 2001, the Company experienced a significant decrease in the volume of used commuter aircraft sales. An evaluation of commuter aircraft market conditions and the events of September 11, 2001 indicated that the market weakness would continue into the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company completed an analysis of the estimated fair value of the various models of commuter aircraft and reduced the book value of commuter aircraft inventory and equipment leased to others accordingly. In addition, the Company adjusted the book value of long-term receivables and established a reserve for off balance sheet receivables based on the Company’s estimate of exposures on customer financed assets due to defaults, refinancing, and remarketing of these aircraft. In 2002, the Company bought back the remaining off balance sheet receivables, described below in Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements. The Company also recorded a $52 million charge related to a fleet of Starship® aircraft in 2001. During the first three quarters of 2001, the Company had not sold any of these aircraft and recorded a charge to reduce the value of the aircraft to their estimated fair value.

 

In connection with the buyback of the off balance sheet receivables, the Company recorded the long-term receivables at estimated fair value, which included an assessment of the value of the underlying aircraft. As a result of this assessment, the Company adjusted the value of certain underlying aircraft, including both commuter and Starship aircraft, some of which were written down to scrap value. There was no net income statement impact as a result of this activity.

 

Excluding the 2001 charges and goodwill amortization, the operating loss was $7 million in 2001. Excluding goodwill amortization, operating income was $166 million in 2000. The decrease in the operating loss in 2002 was due to cost reductions and an $18 million favorable contract adjustment recorded in 2002, partially offset by lower pension income and lower volume. The decrease in operating income in 2001 was due to adverse sales mix and margin pressure on T-6A, Beechjet, and used aircraft due to the market environment. The Company remains concerned about the market outlook for both new and used aircraft.

Significant bookings in 2002 included the U.S. Navy’s contract award for the DD(X) program of $1.1 billion at ES and the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System of $900 million at C3I. The decrease in bookings in 2001 was due to the impact of divestitures as well as several large bookings with extended periods of performance at C3I and TS in 1999. In addition, the Company’s commercial businesses have been affected by softening market conditions, resulting in declining orders.

 

Segment Reorganization

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company will begin reporting its government and defense businesses in six segments. In addition, the Company’s Commercial Electronics businesses have been reassigned to the new government and defense businesses. The Company’s Aircraft segment will continue to be reported separately.

A major factor for determining pension funding requirements are Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) that proscribe the allocation to and recovery of pension costs on U.S. government contracts. The Company will report the difference between SFAS No. 87 (FAS) pension expense or income and CAS pension expense as a separate line item in the Company’s segment results called FAS/CAS Income Adjustment. The Company’s individual segment results will now only include pension expense as determined under CAS, which can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. Previously, the Company’s individual segment results included FAS pension expense or income, which consisted of CAS pension expense and an adjustment to reconcile CAS pension expense to FAS pension expense or income.

 

The following information reflects the Company’s segment results during 2002 and 2001 in the realigned structure. In addition, the individual segment results below include pension expense determined under CAS.

Intersegment sales in 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $102 million and $106 million for Integrated Defense Systems, $35 million and $26 million for Intelligence and Information Systems, $219 million and $226 million for Network Centric Systems, $299 million and $324 million for Space and Airborne Systems, $593 million and $545 million for Technical Services, and $4 million and $4 million for Aircraft.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In 2002, the Company sold its Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS) for $1,123 million, net, subject to purchase price adjustments. The Company is currently involved in a purchase price dispute related to the sale of AIS. There was no pretax gain or loss on the sale of AIS, however, due to the non-deductible goodwill associated with AIS, the Company recorded a tax provision of $212 million, resulting in a $212 million after-tax loss on the sale of AIS. As part of the transaction, the Company retained the responsibility for performance of the Boeing Business Jet® (BBJ) program. The Company also retained $106 million of BBJ-related assets, $18 million of receivables and other assets, and rights to a $25 million jury award related to a 1999 claim against Learjet®. At December 31, 2002, the balance of these retained assets was $64 million. Schedule delays, cost growth, and other variables could continue to have a negative effect on these retained assets. The timing and amount of net realizable value of these retained assets are uncertain and subject to a number of unpredictable market forces.

 

In 2002, the Company recorded charges related to AIS of $66 million, which included a $23 million write-down of a BBJ-related aircraft owned by the Company, a $28 million charge for cost growth on one of the two BBJ aircraft not yet delivered, and a $10 million

charge to write down other BBJ-related assets to net realizable value, offset by a $13 million gain resulting from the finalization of the 1999 claim, described above. The write-down of the BBJ-related aircraft resulted from the Company’s decision to market this aircraft unfinished due to the current environment of declining prices for BBJ-related aircraft. The Company was previously marketing this aircraft as a customized executive BBJ. The write-down of other BBJ-related assets reflects the difficulty the Company has been experiencing in liquidating these assets.

 

In 2002, the pretax loss from discontinued operations related to AIS was $47 million. In 2001 and 2000, pretax income from discontinued operations related to AIS was $5 million and $40 million, respectively.

 

In 2000, the Company sold its Raytheon Engineers & Constructors businesses (RE&C) to Washington Group International, Inc. (WGI) for $73 million in cash plus assumption of debt and other obligations. At the time of the sale, the Company had, either directly or through a subsidiary that it still owns, outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds, and parent guarantees of performance and payment (the “Support Agreements”) on many long-term construction contracts and certain leases. The Support Agreements were provided to customers at the time of contract award as security to the customers for the underlying contract obligations. Often, the total security was capped at the value of the contract price to secure full performance, including, in some cases, the payment of liquidated damages available under the contract. At December 31, 2002, the maximum exposure on outstanding Support Agreements for which there were stated values was $367 million for letters of credit, $344 million for performance bonds, and $25 million for parent guarantees. Of these amounts, $49 million of letters of credit and $258 million of performance bonds relate to projects assumed by WGI in its bankruptcy, as described below. There are additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated maximum value that also remain outstanding. Of the guarantees that have no maximum stated value, many relate to contract obligations that, by their terms, include caps on liability for certain types of obligations, and all of the underlying projects have substantially completed construction and are in the punchlist, warranty, commercial closeout, and claims resolution phase, except the two Massachusetts construction projects, described below. Some of these contingent obligations and guarantees include warranty provisions and extend for a number of years.

 

In connection with the sale of RE&C, the Company was entitled to the financial rewards of certain claims, equity investments, and receivables totaling $159 million that were sold to WGI. In addition, the Company was obligated to indemnify WGI against certain obligations and liabilities totaling $88 million. As a result of WGI’s bankruptcy filing, described below, the realization of these various assets through WGI was no longer probable, however, the obligations and liabilities could be set off against the assets pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement. In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $71 million to write off these assets and liabilities.

 

In March 2001, WGI abandoned two Massachusetts construction projects, triggering the Company’s guarantees to the customer. The Company honored the guarantees and commenced work on these projects. Construction and start-up activities continue on the two projects—the Mystic Station plant and the Fore River plant. Pursuant to the construction contract, since the Mystic Station plant had not achieved performance test completion by January 14, 2003, the Company made payments totaling $68 million, which pre-funded the delay and performance liquidated damages to the maximum amount specified by the construction contract. Also pursuant to the construction contract, the customer has taken the position that a similar missed deadline occurred on February 24, 2003 for the Fore River plant and that a payment of $67 million was required from the Company on that date to pre-fund the delay and performance liquidated damages to the maximum amount specified by the construction contract. The Company believes that this February 24, 2003 deadline was incorrect and should have been extended as a result of changes for which the Company is entitled to change orders, an issue that is now being arbitrated between the Company and the customer. Accordingly, the Company did not make the requested payment to the customer on that date and has informed the customer that the deadline and requested payment are in dispute. As a result, the customer drew down on certain letters of credit totaling $27 million that had been posted by the Company as contract performance security. A resolution of the current dispute between the Company and the customer over the contract deadline and the applicable liquidated damages is dependent upon the outcome of the pending arbitration, which should be concluded later this year. In addition, risks remain in completing the two projects, including costs associated with the possibility of further delays, labor productivity, and the successful completion of required performance tests on the two projects. In 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $796 million resulting from an increase in the estimated cost to complete (ETC) for the two projects. The Company had previously recorded a charge of $814 million in 2001. The cost increases have resulted from declining productivity, schedule delays, misestimates of field engineered materials, and unbudgeted hours worked on the two projects. The Company expects to complete construction and performance testing on the two projects and turn them over to the customer during the second quarter of 2003.

 

In May 2001, WGI filed for bankruptcy protection. In the course of the bankruptcy proceeding, WGI rejected some ongoing construction contracts and assumed others. In January 2002, WGI emerged from bankruptcy and as part of that process, the stock purchase agreement between WGI and the Company was terminated and WGI and the Company entered into a settlement agreement that provided, among other things, that WGI take reasonable actions to protect the Company against future exposure under Support Agreements related to contracts assumed by WGI and that WGI reimburse the Company for any associated costs incurred. For those contracts rejected by WGI, the Company’s obligations depend on the extent to which the Company has any outstanding Support Agreements. The contracts rejected by WGI included four large fixed price international turnkey projects that were close to completion. Construction has been completed on these projects and they are now in the commercial closeout and claims resolution phase. The Company recorded a charge of $18 million in 2002 related to warranty and start-up costs associated with the last project to be completed. In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $54 million related to these projects.

 

The contracts rejected by WGI also included two large construction projects that have been provisionally accepted by the customer (Red Oak and Ilijan) on which the Company had Support Agreements. In 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $14 million related to final reliability testing and punch list items. The Company also recorded a charge of $21 million resulting from a contract adjustment on one of these projects due to turbine-related delays. In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $156 million related to these and the other WGI construction projects on which the Company has Support Agreements. Risks and exposures on the contracts rejected by WGI include equipment and subcontractor performance, punch list and warranty closeout and performance, schedule and performance liquidated damages, final resolution of contract closeout issues, collection of amounts due under the contracts, potential adverse claims resolution including possible subcontractor claims, lease exposures, availability guarantees, surety bonds, and warranties. For the contracts assumed by WGI, the Company’s obligations under existing Support Agreements would arise if WGI does not meet the obligations that it has assumed. Risks on the contracts assumed by WGI that are subject to Support Agreements relate to non-performance or defaults by WGI.

 

The Company’s cost estimates for construction projects are heavily dependent upon third parties, including WGI, and their ability to perform construction management and other tasks that require industry expertise the Company no longer possesses. In addition, there are risks that the ultimate costs to complete and close out the projects will increase beyond the Company’s current estimates due to factors such as labor productivity and availability of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the impact of change orders, the recoverability of claims included in the ETC, and the outcome of defending claims asserted against the Company. There also are claims asserted against the Company by vendors, subcontractors, and other project participants that are not beneficiaries of the Support Agreements. A significant change in an estimate on one or more of the projects could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In 2002, the Company allocated $79 million of interest expense to RE&C versus $18 million in 2001. Interest expense was allocated to RE&C based upon actual cash outflows since the date of disposition. The Company will not allocate interest expense to RE&C in

2003. In 2002, the Company recorded charges of $38 million for legal, management, and other costs versus $30 million in 2001.

 

In 2002, 2001, and 2000, the pretax loss from discontinued operations related to RE&C was $966 million, $1,143 million, and $513 million, respectively.

 

Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations related to RE&C was $1,129 million in 2002 versus $635 million in 2001 and $100 million in 2000. The Company expects its operating cash flow to be negatively affected by approximately $300 million to $375 million in 2003 which includes project completion, legal, and management costs related to RE&C. Further increases in project costs may increase the estimated operating cash outflow for RE&C in 2003.

 

Financial Condition and Liquidity

 

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2002 was $1,039 million versus $193 million in 2001 and $980 million in 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $2,235 million in 2002 versus $789 million in 2001 and $1,009 million in 2000. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in 2002 was due to better working capital management at the defense businesses, better inventory management at Raytheon Aircraft, a $156 million tax refund received as a result of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, and $95 million received from the closeout of the Company’s interest rate swaps, described below in Capital Structure and Resources. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in 2001 was due to an increase in used aircraft inventory at Raytheon Aircraft resulting from lower demand for new and used aircraft, advance payments received in 2000, and accelerated collections on several large programs in 2000.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $719 million in 2002 versus $47 million in 2001 and $213 million in 2000. The Company provides long-term financing to its aircraft customers and maintained a program under which it sold general aviation and commuter aircraft long-term receivables under a receivables purchase facility, described below in Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements. Origination of financing receivables was $431 million in 2002, $663 million in 2001, and $969 million in 2000. Sale of financing receivables was $263 million in 2002, $696 million in 2001, and $1,034 million in 2000. Repurchase of financing receivables was $347 million in 2002, $329 million in 2001, and $258 million in 2000. Since the receivables purchase facility no longer provided any real economic benefit, the Company bought out the receivables that remained in the facility in 2002 for $1,029 million, eliminating the cost of maintaining it, and brought the related assets onto the Company’s books.

 

Capital expenditures were $458 million in 2002, $461 million in 2001, and $421 million in 2000. Capital expenditures in 2003 are expected to approximate $500 million. Proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment were $11 million in 2002, $9 million in 2001, and $40 million in 2000. Expenditures for internal use software were $138 million in 2002, $149 million in 2001, and $110 million in 2000. Expenditures for internal use software in 2003 are expected to approximate $95 million as the Company continues to convert significant portions of its existing financial systems to a new integrated financial package.

 

Proceeds from the sale of operating units and investments were $1,166 million in 2002 versus $266 million in 2001, and $403 million in 2000. In 2002, the Company sold its AIS business for $1,123 million, described above in Discontinued Operations, and an investment for $43 million, described below in Major Affiliated Entities.

 

In 2001, the Company sold a majority interest in its aviation support business for $154 million, its recreational marine business for $100 million, and other investments for $12 million. Total sales and operating income related to these divested businesses were $248 million and $13 million, respectively, in 2001.

 

In 2000, The Company sold its RE&C business for $73 million, described above in Discontinued Operations. The Company also sold its flight simulation business for $160 million, its optical systems business for $153 million, and other non-core business operations for $17 million. Total sales and operating income related to these divested businesses (excluding RE&C) were $166 million and $2 million, respectively, in 2000.

 

In October 2001, the Company and Hughes® Electronics Corporation agreed to a settlement regarding the purchase price adjustment related to the Company’s 1997 merger with Hughes Defense. Under the terms of the agreement, Hughes Electronics agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $635 million of its purchase price, with $500 million received in 2001 and the balance received in 2002. The settlement resulted in a $555 million reduction in goodwill. The $135 million receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2001.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $990 million in 2002 versus net cash provided of $197 million in 2001 and net cash used of $126 million in 2000. Dividends paid to stockholders were $321 million in 2002, $281 million in 2001, and $272 million in 2000. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.20 per share for each of the four quarters of 2002, 2001, and 2000.

 

Capital Structure and Resources

 

Total debt was $7.4 billion at December 31, 2002 and $8.2 billion at December 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents were $544 million at December 31, 2002 and $1,214 million at December 31, 2001. The Company’s outstanding debt has interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 8.3% and matures at various dates through 2028. Total debt as a percentage of total capital was 43.3 percent and 40.2 percent at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

In 2002, the Company issued $575 million of long-term debt to reduce the amounts outstanding under the Company’s lines of credit. Also in 2002, the Company repurchased debt with a par value of $96 million. In addition, the Company eliminated its $1.4 billion receivables purchase facility in 2002, described below in Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements. The Company has on file a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the issuance of up to $2.4 billion in debt securities, common or preferred stock, warrants to purchase any of the aforementioned securities, and/or stock purchase contracts.

 

In 2001, the Company entered into various interest rate swaps that corresponded to a portion of the Company’s fixed rate debt in order to effectively hedge interest rate risk. The $1.2 billion notional value of the interest rate swaps effectively converted approximately 15 percent of the Company’s total debt to variable rate debt. In 2002, the Company closed out these interest rate swaps in order to reduce market rate risk. The Company received proceeds of $95 million in 2002 for the fair value of the swaps. The $95 million of value will be amortized over the remaining life of the corresponding debt as a reduction to interest expense. Also in 2001, the Company repurchased long-term debt with a par value of $1,375 million.

 

In 2000, the Company issued $2.25 billion of long-term debt to repay outstanding short-term debt, extending the maturity of the Company’s debt obligations.

 

Also in 2000, the Company issued $350 million of floating rate notes due in 2001 to partially refinance $500 million of long-term debt that matured in 2000.

 

The Company’s most restrictive bank agreement covenant is an interest coverage ratio that currently requires earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), excluding certain charges, to be at least 2.5 times net interest expense for the prior four quarters. In July 2002, the covenant was amended to exclude charges of $450 million related to discontinued operations. The Company was in compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant, as amended, during 2002 and expects to continue to be in compliance throughout 2003.

 

Credit ratings for the Company were assigned by Fitch’s at F3 for short-term borrowing and BBB- for senior debt, by Moody’s at P-3 for short-term borrowing and Baa3 for senior debt, and by Standard and Poor’s at A-3 for short-term borrowing and BBB- for senior debt.

 

Lines of credit with certain commercial banks exist to provide short-term liquidity. The lines of credit bear interest based upon LIBOR and were $2.85 billion at December 31, 2002, consisting of $1.55 billion which matures in November 2003, and $1.3 billion which matures in 2006. The lines of credit were $2.4 billion at December 31, 2001. There were no borrowings under the lines of credit at December 31, 2002, however, the Company had $306 million of outstanding letters of credit which reduced the Company’s borrowing capacity under the lines of credit to $2.5 billion. There was $140 million outstanding under the lines of credit at December 31, 2001. Credit lines with banks are also maintained by certain foreign subsidiaries to provide them with a limited amount of short-term liquidity. These lines of credit were $79 million and $129 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,

respectively. There was $1 million and $26 million outstanding under these lines of credit at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company maintains other credit and synthetic lease facilities, described below in Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements.

 

In May 2001, the Company issued 17,250,000, 8.25% equity security units for $50 per unit totaling $837 million, net of offering costs of $26 million. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes. Each equity security unit consists of a contract to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on May 15, 2004, which will result in cash proceeds to the Company of $863 million, and a mandatorily redeemable equity security, with a stated liquidation amount of $50, due on May 15, 2006, which will require a cash payment by the Company of $863 million. The contract obligates the holder to purchase, for $50, shares of common stock equal to the settlement rate. The settlement rate is equal to $50 divided by the average market value of the Company’s common stock at that time. The settlement rate cannot be greater than 1.8182 or less than 1.4903 shares of common stock per purchase contract. Using the treasury stock method, there is no effect on the computation of shares for diluted earnings per share if the average market value of the Company’s common stock is between $27.50 and $33.55 per share. For example, if the Company’s average stock price during the period was $40 per share, the diluted shares outstanding would increase by 4.1 million shares or one percent of total shares outstanding at December 31, 2002. At an average stock price of $45 per share, the diluted shares outstanding would increase by 6.5 million shares, or two percent. During 2002, the average market value of the Company’s common stock was $35.41 per share, therefore, the Company included 1.4 million shares in its computation of shares for diluted earnings per share.

 

In May 2001, the Company issued 14,375,000 shares of common stock for $27.50 per share. In October 2001, the Company issued 31,578,900 shares of common stock for $33.25 per share. The proceeds of the offerings were $1,388 million, net of $56 million of offering costs, and were used to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes.

 

In 2001, the Company eliminated its dual class capital structure and reclassified its Class A and Class B common stock into a single new class of common stock. The Company also effected a 20-for-1 reverse-forward stock split that resulted in holders of fewer than 20 shares of common stock being cashed out of their holdings.

 

The Company’s need for, cost of, and access to funds are dependent on future operating results, as well as conditions external to the Company. Cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, proceeds from divestitures, and other available financing resources are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure, and debt service requirements during the next twelve months.

In 1995, through the acquisition of E-Systems®, Inc., the Company invested in Space Imaging and currently has a 31 percent equity investment in Space Imaging LLC. Since 1996, the Company has guaranteed a portion of Space Imaging’s debt and currently guarantees 50 percent of a $300 million Space Imaging credit facility that matures in March 2003. There were $277 million of Space Imaging borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2002. In 2002, the Company recorded a $175 million charge to write-off the Company’s investment in Space Imaging and accrue for the credit facility guarantee on which the Company expects to make payment in 2003. The charge was a result of the Company’s and Space Imaging’s other major investor’s decision not to provide additional funding at this time, whereby the Company does not believe that Space Imaging will be able to repay amounts outstanding under the credit facility.

 

To date, Space Imaging has purchased a significant amount of equipment from its major investors, including the Company. The Company’s outstanding receivables due from Space Imaging totaled $28 million at December 31, 2002. Space Imaging is pursuing its business plan, including assessments relative to future investment in a replacement satellite system and related funding requirements. Space Imaging was recently successful in obtaining certain long-term commitments from the U.S. government for purchases of commercial satellite imagery. In order to fund future replacement satellites, Space Imaging will likely need, but has not yet been able to obtain, commitments for additional funding. In light of current market conditions and those uncertainties, there can be no assurance that Space Imaging will be successful in attracting additional funding.

 

In 2002, the Company formed a joint venture with Flight Options, Inc. whereby the Company contributed its Raytheon Travel Air® fractional ownership business and loaned the new entity $20 million. The Company’s investment in and other assets related to the joint venture totaled $107 million at December 31, 2002, which includes equity losses the Company has recorded since the formation of the joint venture. There was approximately $59 million of collateral value underlying amounts due from Flight Options at December 31, 2002. In addition, there was approximately $88 million of additional transaction-related receivables that the Company recorded at zero due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of those amounts, due to the fact that the new entity, Flight Options LLC (FO), has been unprofitable to date and has not been generating adequate cash flow to finance current operations. Given these operating results, the Company has loaned FO an additional $10 million since December 31, 2002.

 

FO had been pursuing additional equity financing, but was not successful in that regard. As a result, the Company offered to exchange the FO debt it currently holds for additional equity in the joint venture, restructure other debt, and invest additional funds for additional equity. If this restructuring is completed, the Company will be responsible for FO’s operations, own a majority of FO’s stock, and consolidate FO’s results in the Company’s financial statements. Negotiations related to the restructuring are ongoing. If the Company consolidates Flight Options, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, although the Company would reduce its reported Aircraft backlog by approximately $850 million related to an order received from Flight Options in 2002. In addition, the Company’s reported revenue, operating income, and other expense would change as a result of the consolidation of Flight Options’ results. Flight Options’ customers, in certain instances, have the contractual ability to require Flight Options to buy back their fractional share based on its current fair market value. The estimated value of this potential obligation was approximately $530 million at December 31, 2002.

 

In 2002, the Company sold its investment in Raytheon España for $43 million and recorded a gain of $4 million. Also in 2002, the Company agreed to provide $30 million of financing to JT3, L.L.C., a joint venture formed by the Company to provide range support to the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, under which $21 million was outstanding at December 31, 2002. This financing is collateralized by JT3’s customer receivables.

 

In 2001, the Company formed a joint venture, Thales Raytheon Systems (TRS), that has two major operating subsidiaries, one of which the Company controls and consolidates. In addition, the Company has entered into joint ventures formed specifically to facilitate a teaming arrangement between two contractors for the benefit of the customer, generally the U.S. government, whereby the Company receives a subcontract from the joint

venture in its capacity as prime contractor. Accordingly, the Company records the work it performs for the joint venture as operating activity. Certain joint ventures are not included in the table above as the Company’s investment in these entities is less than $1 million.

 

In 2001, the Company sold a majority interest in its aviation support business (Raytheon Aerospace) and retained $66 million in preferred and common equity in the business. The $66 million represents a 26 percent stake and was recorded at zero because the new entity is highly-leveraged. This initial investment will remain at zero until the new entity generates enough cash flow to show that the new entity will be able to liquidate the Company’s investment after satisfying its third party debt service payments. The $5 million investment balance noted above represents equity income the Company has recorded since the date of disposition.

 

The Company also has a 20 percent equity investment in Exostar LLC. Due to equity method losses recorded since formation, substantially all of the Company’s investment in Exostar has been written off.

 

In 1998, the Company sold its commercial laundry business unit to Alliance Laundry Systems for $315 million in cash and $19 million in securities.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Defense contractors are subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the General Accounting Office, the Department of Justice, and Congressional Committees. The Department of Justice, from time to time, has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by the Company. Individually and in the aggregate, these investigations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In 2002, the Company received service of a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the District of California. The subpoena seeks documents related to the activities of an international sales representative engaged by the Company related to a foreign military sales contract in Korea in the late 1990s. The Company has in place appropriate compliance policies and procedures, and believes its conduct has been consistent with those policies and procedures. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation.

 

The Company continues to cooperate with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on an investigation related to the Company’s accounting practices primarily related to the commuter aircraft business and the timing of revenue recognition at Raytheon Aircraft from 1997 to 2001. The Company has been providing documents and information to the SEC staff. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or any action that the SEC might take.

 

In late 1999, the Company and two of its officers were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits which were consolidated into a single complaint in June 2000, when four additional former or present officers were named as defendants (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint principally alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making misleading statements and by failing to disclose material information concerning the Company’s financial performance during the class period of October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999. In March 2002, the court certified the class of plaintiffs as those people who purchased the Company’s stock between October 7, 1998 and October 12, 1999. In September 2000, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which the plaintiffs opposed. The court heard arguments on the motion in February 2001. In August 2001, the court issued an order dismissing most of the claims asserted against the Company and the individual defendants. Discovery is proceeding on the two circumstances that remain the subject of claims.

 

In 1999 and 2000, the Company was also named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at the time (except one) were named as defendants in purported derivative lawsuits. The derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the Consolidated Complaint and further allege that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and allegedly failed to exercise due care and diligence in the management and administration of the affairs of the Company. In December 2001, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss one of the derivative lawsuits. These actions have since been consolidated, and the plaintiffs have filed a consolidated amended complaint. The defendants have advised the court that they intend to file a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint.

 

In June 2001, a purported class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of all purchasers of common stock or senior notes of WGI during the class period of April 17, 2000 through March 1, 2001 (the “WGI Complaint”). The plaintiff class claims to have suffered harm by purchasing WGI securities because the Company and certain of its officers allegedly violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the true financial condition of RE&C in order to sell RE&C to WGI at an artificially inflated price. An amended complaint was filed in October 2001 alleging similar claims. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion seeking to dismiss the action in November 2001. In April 2002, the motion to dismiss was denied. The defendants have filed their answer to the amended complaint and discovery is proceeding.

 

In July 2001, the Company was named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at the time have been named as defendants in two identical purported derivative lawsuits. The derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the WGI Complaint and further allege that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and failed to maintain systems necessary for prudent management and control of the Company’s operations. In December 2001, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss one of the derivative lawsuits.

 

Also in July 2001, the Company was named as a nominal defendant and members of its Board of Directors and several current and former officers have been named as defendants in another purported shareholder derivative action which contains allegations similar to those included in the WGI Complaint and further alleges that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and failed to maintain systems necessary for prudent management and control of the Company’s operations. In June 2002, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In September 2002, the plaintiff agreed to voluntarily dismiss this action without prejudice so that it can be re-filed in another jurisdiction.

 

Although the Company believes that it and the other defendants have meritorious defenses to each and all of the aforementioned class action and derivative complaints and intends to contest each lawsuit vigorously, an adverse resolution of any of the lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in the period in which the lawsuits are resolved. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to any of the lawsuits.

 

In addition, various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While the ultimate liability from these proceedings is presently indeterminable, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. The Company’s estimate of total environmental remediation costs expected to be incurred is $143 million. On a discounted basis, the Company estimates the liability to be $92 million before U.S. government recovery and has accrued this amount at December 31, 2002. A portion of these costs are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. The recovery of environmental cleanup costs from the U.S. government is considered probable based on the Company’s long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $49 million at December 31, 2002 for the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government, which is included in contracts in process. 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 the Company’s responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, however, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In 1997, the Company provided a first loss guarantee of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank debt through 2015 related to the Brazilian government’s System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) program.

Letters of credit are issued by banks and insurance companies on the Company’s behalf to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention, and advance payment obligations primarily related to defense customers. Debt guarantees consist of the Space Imaging loan facility guarantee of $150 million and the SIVAM guarantee of $133 million, described above. Discontinued operations consist of letters of credit, performance bonds, and parent guarantees of performance and payment on certain long-term construction contracts, described above in Discontinued Operations, however, additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no maximum stated value also remain outstanding.

The Company provides long-term financing to its aircraft customers and maintained a program under which an indirect subsidiary of the Company sold general aviation and commuter aircraft long-term receivables to Raytheon Aircraft Receivables Corporation (RARC), a special purpose entity. RARC sold undivided interests in the receivables to a bank syndicate and other financial institutions that purchased these interests for cash under a receivables purchase facility (the “Aircraft Receivables Facility”). The purchasers had a first priority claim on all proceeds, including the underlying aircraft and any insurance proceeds, and had recourse against the Company, at varying percentages, depending upon the character of the receivables sold. Since the Aircraft Receivables facility no longer provided any real economic benefit, the Company bought out the receivables that remained in this facility in 2002, eliminating the cost of maintaining it, and brought the related assets onto the Company’s books. The $1 million balance in this facility at December 31, 2002 represented a remaining security interest in certain aircraft whose title had not yet been transferred back to the Company.

 

In 1998, the Company entered into a $490 million property sale and five-year operating lease (synthetic lease) facility. Under this lease facility property, plant, and equipment was sold and leased back in order to diversify the Company’s sources of funding and extend the term of a portion of the Company’s financing obligations. In 2003, the Company is required to buy back the assets remaining in the lease facility for $138 million. Remaining lease payments under the lease facility at December 31, 2002 total $28 million in 2003.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company has identified the following accounting policies that require significant judgment. The Company believes its judgments related to these accounting policies are appropriate.

 

Sales under long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage of completion method. Costs and estimated gross margins are recorded as sales as work is performed based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to estimated total costs utilizing the most recent estimates of costs and funding. Cost estimates include direct and indirect costs such as labor, material, warranty, and overhead. Some contracts contain incentive provisions based upon performance in relation to established targets which are recognized in the contract estimates when deemed realizable. Contract change orders and claims are included in sales when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Due to the long-term nature of many of the Company’s programs, developing the estimates of costs and funding often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the work to be completed and ultimate contract recovery include labor productivity and availability of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the impact of change orders, availability of materials, the impact of delayed performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer, and the recoverability of claims included in any estimate to complete. In 2002, 2001, and 2000, operating income as a percent of net sales for the Company’s defense businesses did not vary by more than 0.5 percent. If the aggregate combined cost estimates for all of the contracts in the Company’s defense businesses had been higher or lower by 0.5 percent in 2002, the Company’s operating income would have changed by approximately $50 million to $75 million.

 

As described above in Discontinued Operations, the Company’s cost estimates for construction projects are heavily dependent upon third parties and their ability to perform construction management and other tasks that require industry expertise the Company no longer possesses. Identified risks related to the two Massachusetts construction projects, also described above in Discontinued Operations, include the possibility of further delays, reduced labor productivity, and the timely successful completion of required performance tests on the two projects. Historically, the Company has experienced problems associated with these identified risks. The current schedule calls for the successful completion of the performance tests at the Mystic Station plant in April and May 2003 and the Fore River plant in May 2003. If the Company is unable to meet these dates, the costs on these projects could increase materially. The current estimate also assumes the recovery of pre-funded liquidated damages totaling $48 million related to these two projects. While the Company expects to recover these pre-funded liquidated damages from the customer, failure to do so would require an additional charge equal to the amount of pre-funded liquidated damages the Company is unable to recover.

 

The Company uses lot accounting for new aircraft introductions. Lot accounting involves selecting an initial lot size at the time a new aircraft begins to ship and measuring an average cost over the entire lot for each aircraft sold. The costs attributed to aircraft delivered are based on the estimated average cost of all aircraft expected to be produced and are determined under the learning curve concept which anticipates a predictable decrease in unit costs as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition. Once production costs stabilize, which is expected by the time the initial lot has been completed, the use of lot accounting is discontinued. The selection of lot size is a critical judgment. The Company determines lot size based on several factors, including the size of firm backlog, the expected annual production on the aircraft, and experience on

similar new aircraft. The size of the initial lot for the Beechcraft Premier I, the only aircraft the Company is currently utilizing lot accounting for, is 200 units. The estimated average cost of the aircraft is reviewed and reassessed quarterly and changes in estimates are recognized over future deliveries remaining in the lot, however, the Company is not currently recording profit on aircraft sales in the initial lot. A 5 percent increase in the estimated cost to produce the aircraft would reduce the Company’s operating income by approximately $50 million.

 

The valuation of used aircraft in inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or market, requires significant judgment. As part of its assessment of fair value, the Company must evaluate many factors including current market conditions, future market conditions, the age and condition of the aircraft, and availability levels for the aircraft in the market. A 10 percent decrease in the aggregate market value of used aircraft in inventory at December 31, 2002 would result in an impairment charge of approximately $15 million.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, upon indication of possible impairment, by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the related estimated undiscounted cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. The determination of what constitutes an indication of possible impairment, the estimation of future cash flows, and the determination of estimated fair value are all significant judgments. In addition, the company performs an annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. In connection with the reorganization of the Company’s government and defense businesses, described above in Segment Reorganization, the Company reallocated goodwill to the newly formed segments based upon an estimate of the fair value of the portion of a previously acquired company contribution to the new segment and performed an initial goodwill impairment test. The Company estimated the fair value of the new segments using a discounted cash flow model based on the Company’s most recent five-year plan and compared the estimated fair value to the net book value of the segment, including goodwill. There was no indication of goodwill impairment as a result of this initial test. Preparation of forecasts for use in the five-year plan involves significant judgments. Changes in these forecasts could affect the estimated fair value of certain of the Company’s segments and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

 

The Company has pension and retirement plans covering the majority of its employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. The selection of the assumptions used to determine pension expense or income in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employer’s Accounting for Pensions (SFAS No. 87) involves significant judgment. The investment performance of the Company’s pension plan assets for the year ended October 31, 2002, the measurement date for the Company’s pension plans, of (4.5)% did not meet the Company’s long-term return on asset (ROA) assumption under SFAS No. 87 of 9.5% per annum. Due to changes in the extended outlook of the investment markets, the Company has reduced the long-term ROA assumption to 8.75%. The Company’s long-term ROA assumption is based on target asset allocations of 60% equities with a 10.5% expected return, 30% fixed income with a 5.4% expected return, and 10% other (including real estate, venture capital, and cash) with an 8.3% expected return. Current allocations are within 3% of the target for each category. In addition, due to changes in the interest rate environment, the Company has reduced the discount rate to 7.0% from 7.25%. As a result, the Company’s SFAS No. 87 pension expense is expected to be approximately $300 million in 2003 and $625 million in 2004. If the Company adjusts both the long-term ROA assumption and the discount rate for 2004 up or down by 25 basis points, the Company’s SFAS No. 87 pension expense would change by approximately $50 million. In selecting the long-term ROA and discount rate, which are considered to be the key variables in determining pension expense or income, the Company considers both current market conditions and expected future market trends, including changes in interest rates and equity market performance. The Company currently estimates that cash contributions to the pension plans will be approximately $60 million in 2003 and $360 million in 2004.

 

 

Accounting Standards

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). This interpretation addresses the consolidation of certain variable interest entities (VIEs) for which a controlling financial interest exists. FIN 46 applies immediately to financial interests obtained in VIEs after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to VIEs in which a financial interest was obtained before February 1, 2003. FIN 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment or by restating previously issued financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. The effect of adopting FIN 46 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

 

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45). This interpretation clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. It also elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of periods ending after December 15, 2002. The effect of adopting the recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

 

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146) which nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This accounting standard, which is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company’s primary market exposures are to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company meets its working capital requirements with a combination of variable rate short-term and fixed rate long-term financing. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with commercial and investment banks primarily to manage interest rates associated with the Company’s financing arrangements. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks only to fix the dollar value of specific commitments and payments to international vendors and the value of foreign currency denominated receipts. The market-risk sensitive instruments used by the Company for hedging are entered into with commercial and investment banks and are directly related to a particular asset, liability, or transaction for which a firm commitment is in place. The Company has used a special purpose entity to sell aircraft receivables and retains a partial interest that includes servicing rights, interest only strips, and subordinated certificates.

 

Financial instruments held by the Company which are subject to interest rate risk include notes payable, long-term debt, long-term receivables, investments, and interest rate swap agreements. There was no aggregate after tax hypothetical loss in earnings for one year of those financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2002 which are subject to interest rate risk resulting from a hypothetical increase in interest rate of 10 percent. The aggregate hypothetical loss in earnings for one year of those financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2001 and 2000, which are subject to interest rate risk resulting from a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 10 percent, was $2 million and $3 million, respectively, after-tax. The hypothetical loss was determined by calculating the aggregate impact of a 10 percent increase in the interest rate of each variable rate financial instrument held by the Company at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, which was subject to interest rate risk. Fixed rate financial instruments were not evaluated, as the risk exposure is not material.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note A: Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Raytheon Company (the “Company”) and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales under long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage of completion method. Costs and estimated gross margins are recorded as sales as work is performed based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to estimated total costs utilizing the most recent estimates of costs and funding. Cost estimates include direct and indirect costs such as labor, material, warranty, and overhead. Some contracts contain incentive provisions based upon performance in relation to established targets which are recognized in the contract estimates when deemed realizable. Contract change orders and claims are included in sales when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Since many contracts extend over a long period of time, revisions in cost and funding estimates during the progress of work have the effect of adjusting earnings applicable to performance in prior periods in the current period. When the current contract estimate indicates a loss, provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the current period.

 

Revenue from sales of products and services into commercial electronics markets are recognized at the time the products are shipped or the services are rendered.

 

Revenue from aircraft sales are recognized at the time of physical delivery of the aircraft. Revenue from certain qualifying non-cancelable aircraft lease contracts are accounted for as sales-type leases. The present value of all payments, net of executory costs, are recorded as revenue, and the related costs of the aircraft are charged to cost of sales. Associated interest, using the interest method, is recorded over the term of the lease agreements. All other leases for aircraft are accounted for under the operating method wherein revenue is recorded as earned over the rental aircraft lives. Service revenue is recognized ratably over contractual periods or as services are performed.

 

Product Warranty

 

Warranty provisions related to aircraft sales are determined based upon an estimate of costs that may be incurred under warranty and other post-sales support programs. Activity related to aircraft warranty provisions was as follows:

Costs incurred under warranty provisions related to the Company’s commercial electronics businesses are not material.

 

Lot Accounting

 

The Company uses lot accounting for new aircraft introductions. Lot accounting involves selecting an initial lot size at the time a new aircraft begins to ship and measuring an average cost over the entire lot for each aircraft sold. The costs attributed to aircraft delivered are based on the estimated average cost of all aircraft expected to be produced and are determined under the learning curve concept which anticipates a predictable decrease in unit costs as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition. Once production costs stabilize, which is expected by the time the initial lot has been completed, the use of lot accounting is discontinued. The Company determines lot size based on several factors, including the size of firm backlog, the expected annual production on the aircraft, and experience on similar new aircraft. The size of the initial lot for the Beechcraft Premier I, the only aircraft the Company is currently utilizing lot accounting for, is 200 units. The estimated average cost of the aircraft is reviewed and reassessed quarterly and changes in estimates are recognized over future deliveries remaining in the lot.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Expenditures for company-sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred. Customer-sponsored research and development projects performed under contracts are accounted for as contract costs as the work is performed.

 

Federal and Foreign Income Taxes

 

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries provide for federal income taxes on pretax income at rates in effect under existing tax law. Foreign subsidiaries have recorded provisions for income taxes at applicable foreign tax rates in a similar manner.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of accounts receivable that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, and the age of outstanding receivables. Activity related to the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2002 was $56 million of cash received in 2002 that was restricted for payment in connection with the Company’s merger with the defense business of Hughes Electronics Corporation in December 1997. Also included was $48 million of restricted cash from the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters. This cash will be used primarily to fund the construction of the Company’s new corporate headquarters.

 

Contracts in Process

 

Contracts in process are stated at cost plus estimated profit but not in excess of realizable value.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at cost (principally first-in, first-out or average cost) but not in excess of realizable value. In 2002, the Company changed its method of inventory costing at Raytheon Aircraft from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to expense. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

Provisions for depreciation are generally computed on a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods. Depreciation provisions are based on estimated useful lives as follows: buildings—20 to 45 years, machinery and equipment—3 to 10 years, and equipment leased to others—5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, upon indication of possible impairment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of held-for-use long-lived 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, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. In order for long-lived assets to be considered held-for-disposal, the Company must have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets.

 

During the first half of 2001, the Company experienced a significant decrease in the volume of used commuter aircraft sales. An evaluation of commuter aircraft market conditions and the events of September 11, 2001 indicated that the market weakness would continue into the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company completed an analysis of the estimated fair value of the various models of commuter aircraft and reduced the book value of commuter aircraft inventory and equipment leased to others accordingly. In addition, the Company adjusted the book value of notes receivable and established a reserve for off balance sheet receivables based on the Company’s estimate of exposures on customer financed assets due to defaults, refinancing, and remarketing of these aircraft. As a result of these analyses, the Company recorded a charge of $693 million in the third quarter of 2001 which consisted of a reduction in inventory of $158 million, a reduction in equipment leased to others of $174 million, a reserve for long-term receivables of $16 million, and a reserve for off balance sheet receivables of $345 million. The balance of the reserve for off balance sheet receivables was $361 million at December 31, 2001. In 2002, the Company utilized $121 million of this reserve, leaving a balance of $240 million at the time the Company bought back the remaining off balance sheet receivables, as described in Note H, Other Assets.

 

The Company also recorded a $52 million charge in the third quarter of 2001 related to a fleet of Starship aircraft. During the first three quarters of 2001, the Company had not sold any of these aircraft and recorded a charge to reduce the value of the aircraft to their estimated fair value. The charge consisted of a reduction in inventory of $31 million, a reduction in equipment leased to others of $14 million, and a reserve of $7 million related to the Company’s estimate of exposures on customer financed assets due to defaults, refinancing, and remarketing of these aircraft.

 

In connection with the buyback of the off balance sheet receivables, the Company recorded the long-term receivables at estimated fair value, which included an assessment of the value of the underlying aircraft. As a result of this assessment, the Company adjusted the value of certain underlying aircraft, including both commuter and Starship aircraft, some of which were written down to scrap value. There was no net income statement impact as a result of this activity.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). This accounting standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets and requires that goodwill amortization be discontinued and replaced with periodic tests of impairment. A two-step impairment test is used to first identify potential goodwill impairment and then measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any.

 

In 2002, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $360 million related to its former Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS) as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The fair value of AIS was determined based upon the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the sale, as described in Note B, Discontinued Operations. Due to the non-deductibility of this goodwill, the Company did not record a tax benefit in connection with this impairment. Also in 2002, the Company completed the transitional review for potential goodwill impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, whereby the Company utilized a market multiple approach to determine the fair value of the 13 reporting units within the defense businesses and allocated goodwill to the defense businesses based upon an estimate of the fair value of the portion of a previously acquired company contribution to the new segment. The Company utilized a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of the commercial business reporting units. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $185 million pretax or $149 million after-tax, which represented all of the goodwill at Raytheon Aircraft, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The Company also determined that there is no impairment of goodwill related to any of its defense businesses beyond the $360 million related to AIS. The total goodwill impairment charge in 2002 was $545 million pretax, $509 million after-tax, or $1.25 per diluted share. The Company will perform the annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. There was no goodwill impairment associated with the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2002.

 

The amount of remaining goodwill by segment, as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 142, was $7,640 million, $2,651 million, $855 million, and $24 million for Electronic Systems; Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems (C3I); Technical Services; and Commercial Electronics, respectively, at December 31, 2002.

 

Intangible assets subject to amortization consisted primarily of drawings and intellectual property totaling $27 million (net of $30 million of accumulated amortization) at December 31, 2002 and $24 million (net of $34 million of accumulated amortization) at December 31, 2001. Amortization expense is expected to approximate $5 million for each of the next five years.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill amortization was discontinued as of January 1, 2002. The following adjusts reported income from continuing operations and basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations to exclude goodwill amortization:

Computer Software

 

Internal use computer software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life ranging from 4 to 10 years.

 

Investments

 

Investments, which are included in other assets, include equity ownership of 20 percent to 50 percent in unconsolidated affiliates and of less than 20 percent in other companies. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for under the equity method, wherein the Company’s share of the unconsolidated affiliates’ income or losses are included in other income and expense. Investments in other companies with readily determinable market prices are stated at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. Other investments are stated at cost.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income and its components are presented in the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income consisted of the following at December 31:

The unrealized losses on interest-only strips are shown net of tax benefits of $1 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001. The interest rate lock is shown net of tax benefits of $1 million at December 31, 2002. The cash flow hedges are shown net of tax liabilities of $3 million at December 31, 2002.

 

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 accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Deferred taxes are not recognized for translation-related temporary differences of foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered to be permanently invested. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in 2002, 2001, and 2000 were not material.

 

Pension Costs

 

The Company has several pension and retirement plans covering the majority of employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Annual charges to income are made for the cost of the plans, including current service costs, interest on projected benefit obligations, and net amortization and deferrals, increased or reduced by the return on assets. Unfunded accumulated benefit obligations are accounted for as a long-term liability. The Company funds annually those pension costs which are calculated in accordance with Internal Revenue Service regulations and standards issued by the Cost Accounting Standards Board.

 

Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Company meets its working capital requirements with a combination of variable rate short-term and fixed rate long-term financing. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate locks with commercial and investment banks primarily to manage interest rates associated with the Company’s financing arrangements. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks only to fix the dollar value of specific commitments and payments to international vendors and the value of foreign currency denominated receipts. The hedges used by the Company are transaction driven and are directly related to a particular asset, liability, or transaction for which a commitment is in place. These instruments are executed with credit-worthy institutions and the majority of the foreign currencies are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), as amended. This accounting standard requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at estimated fair value and that changes in a derivative’s estimated fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the estimated fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. At January 1, 2001, the previously designated cash flow hedging instruments were recorded at their estimated fair value as a cumulative effect of adjustment in other comprehensive income of $3 million.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt, approximates the carrying value due to their short maturities and varying interest rates. The estimated fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying value based principally on the underlying interest rates and terms, maturities, collateral, and credit status of the receivables. The estimated fair value of investments, other than those accounted for under the cost or equity method, are based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, which approximates the carrying value, is based on quoted market prices.

 

Estimated fair values for financial instruments are based on pricing models using current market information. The amounts realized upon settlement of these financial instruments will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments.

 

Stock Plans

 

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options under the Company’s stock plans are credited to common stock at par value and the excess is credited to additional paid-in capital. There are no charges or credits to income for stock options. The fair value at the date of award of restricted stock is credited to common stock at par value and the excess is credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value is charged to income as compensation expense over the vesting period. Income tax benefits arising from employees’ premature disposition of stock option shares and exercise of nonqualified stock options are credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans other than for restricted stock. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS No. 148), therefore, no compensation expense was recognized for the Company’s stock option plans.

Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Accounting Standards

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). This interpretation addresses the consolidation of certain variable interest entities (VIEs) for which a controlling financial interest exists. FIN 46 applies immediately to financial interests obtained in VIEs after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to VIEs in which a financial interest was obtained before February 1, 2003. FIN 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment or by restating previously issued financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. In addition to the investments specifically described in Note H, Other Assets, the Company has a financial interest in certain entities that may be considered VIEs under FIN 46. If the Company determines that it has a controlling financial interest in any of these entities, consolidation may be required. The effect of adopting FIN 46 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

 

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45). This interpretation clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. It also elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of periods ending after December 15, 2002. The effect of adopting the recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

 

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146) which nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This accounting standard, which is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is engaged in supplying defense-related equipment to the U.S. and foreign governments, and is subject to certain business risks peculiar to that industry. Sales to these governments may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political developments abroad, and other factors. The Company also leverages its defense technologies in commercial markets. Risks inherent in the commercial marketplace include development of competing products, technological feasibility, market acceptance, and product obsolescence.

 

The highly competitive market for business and special mission aircraft is also subject to certain business risks. These risks include timely development and certification of new product offerings, the current state of the general aviation and commuter aircraft markets, and government regulations affecting commuter aircraft.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note B: Discontinued Operations

In 2002, the Company sold its Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS) for $1,123 million, net, subject to purchase price adjustments. The Company is currently involved in a purchase price dispute related to the sale of AIS. There was no pretax gain or loss on the sale of AIS, however, due to the non-deductible goodwill associated with AIS, the Company recorded a tax provision of $212 million, resulting in a $212 million after-tax loss on the sale of AIS. There was $580 million of goodwill included in the determination of the gain or loss on the sale of AIS. As part of the transaction, the Company retained the responsibility for performance of the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) program. The Company also retained $106 million of BBJ-related assets, $18 million of receivables and other assets, and rights to a $25 million jury award related to a 1999 claim against Learjet. At December 31, 2002, the balance of these retained assets was $64 million. Schedule delays, cost growth, and other variables could continue to have a negative effect on these retained assets. The timing and amount of net realizable value of these retained assets are uncertain and subject to a number of unpredictable market forces.

 

In 2002, the Company recorded charges related to AIS of $66 million, which included a $23 million write-down of a BBJ-related aircraft owned by the Company, a $28 million charge for cost growth on one of the two BBJ aircraft not yet delivered, and a $10 million charge to write down other BBJ-related assets to net realizable value, offset by a $13 million gain resulting from the finalization of the 1999 claim, described above. The write-down of the BBJ-related aircraft resulted from the Company’s decision to market this aircraft unfinished due to the current environment of declining prices for BBJ-related aircraft. The Company was previously marketing this aircraft as a customized executive BBJ. The write-down of other BBJ-related assets reflects the difficulty the Company has been experiencing in liquidating these assets.

In 2000, the Company sold its Raytheon Engineers & Constructors businesses (RE&C) to Washington Group International, Inc. (WGI) for $73 million in cash plus assumption of debt and other obligations. At the time of the sale, the Company had, either directly or through a subsidiary that it still owns, outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds, and parent guarantees of performance and payment (the “Support Agreements”) on many long-term construction contracts and certain leases. The Support Agreements were provided to customers at the time of contract award as security to the customers for the underlying contract obligations. Often, the total security was capped at the value of the contract price to secure full performance, including, in some cases, the payment of liquidated damages available under the contract. At December 31, 2002, the maximum exposure on outstanding Support Agreements for which there were stated values was $367 million for letters of credit, $344 million for performance bonds, and $25 million for parent guarantees. Of these amounts, $49 million of letters of credit and $258 million of performance bonds relate to projects assumed by WGI in its bankruptcy, as described below. There are additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated maximum value that also remain outstanding. Of the guarantees that have no stated value, many relate to contract obligations that, by their terms, include caps on liability for certain types of obligations, and all of the underlying projects have substantially completed construction and are in the punchlist, warranty, commercial closeout, and claims resolution phase, except the two Massachusetts construction projects, described below. Some of these contingent obligations and guarantees include warranty provisions and extend for a number of years.

 

In connection with the sale of RE&C, the Company was entitled to the financial rewards of certain claims, equity investments, and receivables totaling $159 million that were sold to WGI. In addition, the Company was obligated to indemnify WGI against certain obligations and liabilities totaling $88 million. As a result of WGI’s bankruptcy filing, described below, the realization of these various assets through WGI was no longer probable, however, the obligations and liabilities could be set off against the assets pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement. In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $71 million to write off these assets and liabilities.

 

In March 2001, WGI abandoned two Massachusetts construction projects, triggering the Company’s guarantees to the customer. The Company honored the guarantees and commenced work on these projects. Construction and start-up activities continue on the two projects—the Mystic Station plant and the Fore River plant. Pursuant to the construction contract, since the Mystic Station plant had not achieved performance test completion by January 14, 2003, the Company made payments totaling $68 million, which pre-funded the delay and performance liquidated damages to the maximum amount specified by the construction contract. Also pursuant to the construction contract, the customer has taken the position that a similar missed deadline occurred on February 24, 2003 for the Fore River plant and that a payment of $67 million was required from the Company on that date to pre-fund the delay and performance liquidated damages to the maximum amount specified by the construction contract. The Company believes that this February 24, 2003 deadline was incorrect and should have been extended as a result of changes for which the Company is entitled to change orders, an issue that is now being arbitrated between the Company and the customer. Accordingly, the Company did not make the requested payment to the customer on that date and has informed the customer that the deadline and requested payment are in dispute. As a result, the customer drew down on certain letters of credit totaling approximately $27 million that had been posted by the Company as contract performance security. A resolution of the current dispute between the Company and the customer over the contract deadline and the applicable liquidated damages is dependent upon the outcome of the pending arbitration, which should be concluded later this year. In addition, risks remain in completing the two projects, including costs associated with the possibility of further delays, labor productivity, and the successful completion of required performance tests on the two projects. In 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $796 million resulting from an increase in the estimated cost to complete (ETC) for the two projects. The Company had previously recorded a charge of $814 million in 2001. The cost increases have resulted from declining productivity, schedule delays, misestimates of field engineered materials, and unbudgeted hours worked on the two projects. The Company expects to complete construction and performance testing on the two projects and turn them over to the customer during the second quarter of 2003.

 

In May 2001, WGI filed for bankruptcy protection. In the course of the bankruptcy proceeding, WGI rejected some ongoing construction contracts and assumed others. In January 2002, WGI emerged from bankruptcy and as part of that process, the stock purchase agreement between WGI and the Company was terminated and WGI and the Company entered into a settlement agreement that provided, among other things, that WGI take reasonable actions to protect the Company against future exposure under Support Agreements related to contracts assumed by WGI and that WGI reimburse the Company for any associated costs incurred. For those contracts rejected by WGI, the Company’s obligations depend on the extent to which the Company has any outstanding Support Agreements. The contracts rejected by WGI included four large fixed price international turnkey projects that were close to completion. Construction has been completed on these projects and they are now in the commercial closeout and claims resolution phase. The Company recorded a charge of $18 million in 2002 related to warranty and start-up costs associated with the last project to be completed. In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $54 million related to these projects.

 

The contracts rejected by WGI also included two large construction projects that have been provisionally accepted by the customer (Red Oak and Ilijan) on which the Company had Support Agreements. In 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $14 million related to final reliability testing and punch list items. The Company also recorded a charge of $21 million resulting from a contract adjustment on one of these projects due to turbine-related delays. In 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $156 million related to these and the other WGI construction projects on which the Company has Support Agreements. Risks and exposures on the contracts rejected by WGI include equipment and subcontractor performance, punch list and warranty closeout and performance, schedule and performance liquidated damages, final resolution of contract closeout issues, collection of amounts due under the contracts, potential adverse claims resolution including possible subcontractor claims, lease exposures, availability guarantees, surety bonds, and warranties. For the contracts assumed by WGI, the Company’s obligations under existing Support Agreements would arise if WGI does not meet the obligations that it has assumed. Risks on the contracts assumed by WGI that are subject to Support Agreements relate to non-performance or defaults by WGI.

 

The Company’s cost estimates for construction projects are heavily dependent upon third parties, including WGI, and their ability to perform construction management and other tasks that require industry expertise the Company no longer possesses. In addition, there are risks that the ultimate costs to complete and close out the projects will increase beyond the

Company’s current estimates due to factors such as labor productivity and availability of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the impact of change orders, the recoverability of claims included in the ETC, and the outcome of defending claims asserted against the Company. There also are claims asserted against the Company by vendors, subcontractors, and other project participants that are not beneficiaries of the Support Agreements. A significant change in an estimate on one or more of the projects could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

In 2002, the Company allocated $79 million of interest expense to RE&C versus $18 million in 2001. Interest expense was allocated to RE&C based upon actual cash outflows since the date of disposition. The Company will not allocate interest expense to RE&C in 2003. In 2002, the Company recorded charges of $38 million for legal, management, and other costs versus $30 million in 2001.

 

The loss from discontinued operations related to RE&C was as follows:

Note C: Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

In December 2002, the Company acquired JPS Communications, Inc. for $10 million in cash. Assets acquired included $2 million of accounts receivable and $2 million of inventories. The Company also recorded $4 million of intangible assets and $2 million of goodwill in connection with this acquisition. Also in December 2002, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Solipsys Corporation, subject to regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated.

 

In 2001, the Company sold a majority interest in its aviation support business for $154 million in cash and retained $47 million in trade receivables and $66 million in preferred and common equity in the business. The Company also sold its recreational marine business for $100 million. The net gain resulting from these dispositions was $74 million.

 

In 2000, the Company sold its flight simulation business for $160 million, its optical systems business for $153 million, and other non-core business operations for $17 million. The net gain resulting from these dispositions was $35 million.

 

The Company merged with the defense business of Hughes Electronics Corporation (Hughes Defense) in December 1997. In October 2001, the Company and Hughes Electronics agreed to a settlement regarding the purchase price adjustment related to the Company’s merger with Hughes Defense. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Hughes Electronics agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $635 million of its purchase price, with $500 million received in 2001 and the balance received in 2002. The settlement resulted in a $555 million reduction in goodwill. The $135 million receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2001.

 

 

Note D: Restructuring

In 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $2 million to eliminate approximately 50 administrative positions at Electronic Systems and Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems. These actions are expected to be completed in 2003.

 

In 2001, Raytheon Aircraft recorded a charge of $15 million to eliminate approximately 1,800 positions across various administrative, managerial, and production functions. Also in 2001, Commercial Electronics recorded a charge of $2 million to eliminate approximately 100 positions primarily across various administrative and engineering functions at its RF Components and ELCAN units. These actions were completed in 2001.

 

In 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $8 million to eliminate approximately 100 positions primarily at a foreign location. These actions were completed in 2001.

 

Prior Period Restructuring Charges and Exit Costs

 

Restructuring charges and exit costs recognized in connection with business combinations include the cost of involuntary employee termination benefits and related employee severance costs, facility closures, and other costs associated with the Company’s approved plans. Employee termination benefits include severance, wage continuation, medical, and other benefits. Facility closure and related costs include disposal costs of property, plant, and equipment, lease payments, lease termination costs, and net gain or loss on sales of closed facilities.

 

The Company acquired the Texas Instruments® Incorporated defense business (TI Defense) on July 11, 1997, merged with Hughes Defense on December 17, 1997, and created Raytheon Systems Company (RSC) in December 1997. In conjunction with the formation of RSC, the Company announced plans to reduce the then newly formed RSC workforce by approximately 12,800 employees and reduce space by approximately 11 million square feet at 34 facilities through sales, subleases, and lease terminations. The principal actions involved the consolidation of missile and other electronics systems’ manufacturing and engineering, as well as the consolidation of certain component manufacturing into Centers of Excellence. In 1998, the estimated number of employee terminations increased by approximately 1,200 employees, primarily comprised of manufacturing employees. Also in 1998, the Company committed to close two additional facilities and further reduce employment by approximately 1,400 positions.

 

Prior to 1999, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $220 million, which were included in cost of sales. The Company also accrued $584 million as liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of TI Defense and the merger with Hughes Defense and recorded this amount as an increase to goodwill.

 

In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $35 million restructuring charge, which was included in cost of sales, for higher than originally estimated exit costs related to the TI Defense and Hughes Defense actions. The estimate for employee-related exit costs increased by $27 million for higher than planned severance and other termination benefit costs. The estimate for facility-related exit costs increased by $8 million for additional lease termination costs expected to be incurred. The Company also accrued $12 million of exit costs as liabilities assumed in connection with a minor acquisition in 1999 and recorded this amount as an increase to goodwill.

 

In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company determined that the cost of certain restructuring initiatives would be $76 million lower than originally planned and recorded a favorable adjustment to cost of sales. The reduction in the estimated costs related to lower than anticipated costs for severance and facilities. The primary reasons for the reduction in severance costs included a shift in the composition of severed employees, higher attrition resulting in the need for fewer severed employees, and more employees transferring to other locations within the Company. The estimated costs related to facilities were lower than anticipated due to the identification of alternative uses for assets originally identified for disposition, lower de-installation costs, and more rapid exit from facilities.

 

Also in the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $101 million restructuring charge, of which $92 million was included in cost of sales and $9 million was included in administrative and selling expenses, to further reduce the workforce by approximately 2,200 employees and vacate and dispose of an additional 2.7 million square feet of facility space, primarily at the Company’s defense electronics businesses. Employee-related exit

costs of $54 million included severance and other termination benefit costs for manufacturing, engineering, and administrative employees. Facility-related exit costs of $47 million included the costs for lease termination, building closure and disposal, and equipment disposition.

 

In 2000, the Company determined that the cost of certain restructuring initiatives would be lower than originally planned and recorded a $74 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales. In addition, the Company recorded an $11 million reduction in goodwill related to the restructuring initiatives. The estimate for employee-related exit costs decreased by $45 million due to lower than anticipated costs for severance as a result of higher employee attrition and transfers with the Company during the year. The estimate for facility-related exit costs decreased by $41 million due to more rapid exit from facilities, including two facilities sold during 2000 in connection with the divestiture of non-core business operations, and the identification of alternative uses for facilities originally identified for disposition.

 

In 2001, the Company determined that the cost of certain restructuring initiatives would be lower than originally planned and recorded an $8 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales.

 

In 2002, the Company determined that the cost of certain restructuring initiatives would be lower than originally planned and recorded a $4 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales, a $3 million favorable adjustment to general and administrative expenses, and a $1 million reduction in goodwill.

 

The restructuring and exit costs discussed above originally provided for severance and related benefits for approximately 17,600 employees and costs to vacate and dispose of approximately 14 million square feet of facility space. The Company was exiting facility space and terminating employees made redundant as a result of the acquisition of TI Defense and the merger with Hughes Defense and the subsequent reorganization of RSC. A significant portion of these costs are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. There were no major activities that were not continued as a result of these actions.

 

Employee-related exit costs included severance and other termination benefit costs for employees in various functional areas including manufacturing, engineering, and administration. Facility-related exit costs included the costs for lease termination, building closure and disposal, and equipment disposition. Exit costs accrued in connection with the acquisition of TI Defense and the merger with Hughes Defense also included employee relocation and program moves. Owned facilities that were vacated in connection with the restructuring activities were sold. The Company terminated leases or subleased space for non-owned facilities vacated in connection with restructuring. The Company essentially completed all restructuring actions during 2000 except for ongoing idle facility costs.

The U.S. government has title to the assets related to unbilled amounts on contracts that provide for progress payments. Unbilled amounts are primarily recorded under the percentage of completion method and are recoverable from the customer upon shipment of the product, presentation of billings, or completion of the contract.

 

Included in contracts in process at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $75 million and $170 million, respectively, related to claims on contracts, which were recorded at their estimated realizable value. The Company believes that it has a contractual or legal basis for pursuing recovery of these claims, and that collection is probable. The settlement of these amounts depends on individual circumstances and negotiations with the counterparty, therefore, the timing of the collection will vary and approximately $44 million of collections are expected to extend beyond one year.

 

Billed and unbilled contracts in process include retentions arising from contractual provisions. At December 31, 2002, retentions amounted to $39 million and are anticipated to be collected as follows: 2003—$17 million, 2004—$12 million, and the balance thereafter.

Inventories at Raytheon Aircraft totaled $1,612 million and $1,719 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2002, the Company changed its method of inventory costing at Raytheon Aircraft from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change. The method was changed, in part, to achieve a better matching of revenues and expenses. The change decreased the net loss in 2002 by $7 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, and increased retained earnings for years prior to 2000 by $86 million.

 

 

The following adjusts reported income from continuing operations and basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) to reflect the change in inventory costing method:

The Company provides long-term financing to its aircraft customers and maintained a program under which an indirect subsidiary of the Company sold general aviation and commuter aircraft long-term receivables to Raytheon Aircraft Receivables Corporation (RARC), a special purpose entity. RARC sold undivided interests in the receivables to a bank syndicate and other financial institutions that purchased these interests for cash under a receivables purchase facility (the “Aircraft Receivables Facility”). The purchasers had a first priority claim on all proceeds, including the underlying aircraft and any insurance proceeds, and had recourse against the Company, at varying percentages, depending on the character of the receivables sold. Since the Aircraft Receivables Facility no longer provided any real economic benefit, the Company bought out the receivables that remained in this facility in 2002 for $1,029 million, eliminating the cost of maintaining it, and brought the related assets onto the Company’s books. In connection with the buyback, the Company recorded the long-term receivables at estimated fair value using the reserves established in 2001, as described in Note A, Accounting Policies, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The $1 million balance in this facility at December 31, 2002 represented a remaining security interest in certain aircraft whose title had not yet been transferred back to the Company.

 

The (loss) gain resulting from the sale of receivables was $(6) million, $(2) million, and $3 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The outstanding balance of receivables sold under the Aircraft Receivables Facility was $1,448 million at December 31, 2001, of which $327 million represented past due amounts (including $301 million of commuter receivables), on which the Company’s recourse obligation was $1,097 million.

 

When the Company sold receivables, it retained interest-only strips and servicing rights and received a servicing fee. Any gain or loss on the sale of receivables depended in part, on the carrying amount of the receivables sold allocated between the receivables and the retained interests, based on their relative fair value at the date of sale and was recognized in the period in which the sale occurred. The retained interests, which were not material, included interest-only strips, servicing rights, and subordinated certificates, and were recorded at estimated fair value. The Company estimated fair value based on the present value of expected future cash flows using the Company’s best estimate of the key assumptions commensurate with the risks involved including credit losses, prepayment timing, forward yield curves, and discount rates. The Company’s retained interests were subject to credit, prepayment, and interest rate risks on the receivables sold.

 

Long-term receivables included commuter airline receivables of $680 million and $193 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The underlying aircraft serve as collateral for the general aviation and commuter aircraft receivables. The Company maintains reserves for estimated uncollectible aircraft-related long-term receivables. The balance of these reserves was $69 million and $136 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The reserves for estimated uncollectible aircraft-related long-term receivables represent the Company’s current estimate of future losses. The Company established these reserves based on an overall evaluation of identified risks. As a part of that evaluation, the Company considered certain specific receivables and considered factors including extended delinquency and requests for restructuring, among other things.

 

The increase in computer software in 2002 was due to the Company’s conversion of significant portions of its existing financial systems to a new integrated financial package. Accumulated amortization of computer software was $219 million and $174 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

In 1995, through the acquisition of E-Systems, Inc., the Company invested in Space Imaging and currently has a 31 percent equity investment in Space Imaging LLC. Since 1996, the Company has guaranteed a portion of Space Imaging’s debt and currently guarantees 50 percent of a $300 million Space Imaging credit facility that matures in March 2003. There were $277 million of Space Imaging borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2002. In 2002, the Company recorded a $175 million charge to write-off the Company’s investment in Space Imaging and accrue for the credit facility guarantee on which the Company expects to make payment in 2003. The charge was a result of the Company’s and Space Imaging’s other major investor’s decision not to provide additional funding at this time, whereby the Company does not believe that Space Imaging will be able to repay amounts outstanding under the credit facility.

 

To date, Space Imaging has purchased a significant amount of equipment from its major investors, including the Company. The Company’s outstanding receivables due from Space Imaging totaled $28 million at December 31, 2002. Space Imaging is pursuing its business plan, including assessments relative to future investment in a replacement satellite system and related funding requirements. Space Imaging was recently successful in obtaining certain long-term commitments from the U.S. government for purchases of commercial satellite imagery. In order to fund future replacement satellites, Space Imaging will likely need, but has not yet been able to obtain, commitments for additional funding. In light of current market conditions and those uncertainties, there can be no assurance that Space Imaging will be successful in attracting additional funding.

 

In 2002, the Company formed a joint venture with Flight Options, Inc. whereby the Company contributed its Raytheon Travel Air fractional ownership business and loaned the new entity $20 million. The Company’s investment in and other assets related to the joint venture totaled $107 million at December 31, 2002, which includes equity losses the Company has recorded since the formation of the joint venture. There was approximately $59 million of collateral value underlying amounts due from Flight Options at

December 31, 2002. In addition, there was approximately $88 million of additional transaction-related receivables that the Company recorded at zero due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of those amounts, due to the fact that the new entity, Flight Options LLC (FO), has been unprofitable to date and has not been generating adequate cash flow to finance current operations. Given these operating results, the Company has loaned FO an additional $10 million since December 31, 2002.

 

FO, had been pursuing additional equity financing, but was not successful in that regard. As a result, the Company offered to exchange the FO debt it currently holds for additional equity in the joint venture, restructure other debt, and invest additional funds for additional equity. If this restructuring is completed, the Company will be responsible for FO’s operations, own a majority of FO’s stock, and consolidate FO’s results in the Company’s financial statements. Negotiations related to the restructuring are ongoing. If the Company consolidates Flight Options, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Flight Options’ customers, in certain instances, have the contractual ability to require Flight Options to buy back their fractional share based on its current fair market value. The estimated value of this potential obligation was approximately $530 million at December 31, 2002.

 

In 2002, the Company sold its investment in Raytheon España for $43 million and recorded a gain of $4 million. Also in 2002, the Company agreed to provide $30 million of financing to JT3, L.L.C., a joint venture formed by the Company to provide range support to the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, under which $21 million was outstanding at December 31, 2002. This financing is collateralized by JT3’s customer receivables.

 

In 2001, the Company formed a joint venture, Thales Raytheon Systems (TRS), that has two major operating subsidiaries, one of which the Company controls and consolidates. In addition, the Company has entered into joint ventures formed specifically to facilitate a teaming arrangement between two contractors for the benefit of the customer, generally the U.S. government, whereby the Company receives a subcontract from the joint venture in its capacity as prime contractor. Accordingly, the Company records the work it performs for the joint venture as operating activity. Certain joint ventures are not included in the table above as the Company’s investment in these entities is less than $1 million.

 

In 2001, the Company sold a majority interest in its aviation support business (Raytheon Aerospace) and retained $66 million in preferred and common equity in the business. The $66 million represents a 26 percent stake and was recorded at zero because the new entity is highly-leveraged. This initial investment will remain at zero until the new entity generates enough cash flow to show that the new entity will be able to liquidate the Company’s investment after satisfying its third party debt service payments. The $5 million investment balance noted above represents equity income the Company has recorded since the date of disposition.

 

The Company also has a 20 percent equity investment in Exostar LLC. Due to equity method losses recorded since formation, substantially all of the Company’s investment in Exostar has been written off.

 

In 1998, the Company sold its commercial laundry business unit to Alliance Laundry Systems for $315 million in cash and $19 million in securities.

The debentures due in 2025 are redeemable at the option of the Company after July 15, 2005 at redemption prices no greater than 103 percent of par. The notes and debentures redeemable at any time are at redemption prices equal to the present value of remaining principal and interest payments.

 

In 2002, the Company issued $575 million of long-term debt to reduce the amounts outstanding under the Company’s lines of credit. The Company has on file a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the issuance of up to $2.4 billion in debt securities, common or preferred stock, warrants to purchase any of the aforementioned securities, and/or stock purchase contracts.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This accounting standard requires, among other things, that debt extinguishments used as part of an entity’s risk management strategy no longer meet the criteria for classification as extraordinary items. Because the Company does not use debt extinguishments as part of its risk management strategy, classification of gains or losses from long-term debt repurchases as extraordinary remains appropriate. In 2002, the Company repurchased debt with a par value of $96 million and recorded an extraordinary gain of $2 million pretax or $1 million after-tax. In 2001, the Company repurchased long-term debt with a par value of $1,375 million and recorded an extraordinary loss of $24 million pretax, $16 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted share.

 

In 2001, the Company entered into various interest rate swaps that corresponded to a portion of the Company’s fixed rate debt in order to effectively hedge interest rate risk. The $1.2 billion notional value of the interest rate swaps effectively converted approximately

15 percent of the Company’s total debt to variable rate debt. These interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges. In 2002, the Company closed out these interest rate swaps in order to reduce market rate risk. The Company received proceeds of $95 million in 2002 for the fair value of the swaps. The $95 million of value will be amortized over the remaining life of the corresponding debt as a reduction to interest expense.

Lines of credit with certain commercial banks exist to provide short-term liquidity. The lines of credit bear interest based upon LIBOR and were $2.85 billion at December 31, 2002, consisting of $1.55 billion which matures in November 2003, and $1.3 billion which matures in 2006. The lines of credit were $2.4 billion at December 31, 2001. There were no borrowings under the lines of credit at December 31, 2002. There was $140 million outstanding under the lines of credit at December 31, 2001. Credit lines with banks are also maintained by certain foreign subsidiaries to provide them with a limited amount of short-term liquidity. These lines of credit were $79 million and $129 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There was $1 million and $26 million outstanding under these lines of credit at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Compensating balance arrangements are not material.

 

The principal amounts of long-term debt were reduced by debt issue discounts and interest rate hedging costs of $90 million and $105 million, respectively, on the date of issuance, and are reflected as follows at December 31:

The Company’s most restrictive bank agreement covenant is an interest coverage ratio that currently requires earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), excluding certain charges, to be at least 2.5 times net interest expense for the prior four quarters. In July 2002, the covenant was amended to exclude charges of $450 million related to discontinued operations. The Company was in compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant, as amended, during 2002.

Total cash paid for interest was $437 million, $687 million, and $703 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, including amounts classified as discontinued operations.

 

Note J: Equity Security Units

 

In May 2001, the Company issued 17,250,000, 8.25% equity security units for $50 per unit totaling $837 million, net of offering costs of $26 million. Approximately $20 million of the offering costs were allocated to equity and $6 million were allocated to the mandatorily redeemable equity securities. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes. Each equity security unit consists of a contract to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on May 15, 2004 which will result in cash proceeds to the Company of $863 million, and a mandatorily redeemable equity security, with a stated liquidation amount of $50, due on May 15, 2006 which will require a cash payment by the Company of $863 million. The contract obligates the holder to purchase, for $50, shares of common stock equal to the settlement rate. The settlement rate is equal to $50 divided by the average market value of the Company’s common stock at that time. The settlement rate cannot be greater than 1.8182 or less than 1.4903 shares of common stock per purchase contract. Using the treasury stock method, there is no effect on the computation of shares for diluted earnings per share if the average market value of the Company’s common stock is between $27.50 and $33.55 per share. The mandatorily redeemable equity security represents an undivided interest in the assets of RC Trust I, a Delaware business trust formed for the purpose of issuing these securities and whose assets consist solely of subordinated notes issued by the Company. During 2002, the average market value of the Company’s common stock was $35.41 per share, therefore, the Company included 1.4 million shares in its computation of shares for diluted earnings per share. The contract requires a quarterly distribution, which is recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, of 1.25% per year of the stated amount of $50 per purchase contract. Cash paid for the quarterly distribution on the contract was $11 million and $6 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The mandatorily redeemable equity security pays a quarterly distribution, which is included in interest expense, of 7% per year of the stated liquidation amount of $50 per mandatorily redeemable equity security until May 15, 2004. Cash paid for the quarterly distribution on the mandatorily redeemable equity security was $60 million and $31 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. On May 15, 2004, following a remarketing of the mandatorily redeemable equity securities, the distribution rate will be reset at a rate equal to or greater than 7% per year.

The Company issued 5,100,000 shares of common stock in 2002 to fund the Company Match and Company Contributions, as described in Note O, Pension and Other Employee Benefits. The Company also issued 4,118,000 shares of common stock in 2002 in connection with other activity in the Company’s employee stock ownership plan. The Company issued 855,000 shares of common stock and 6,809,000 shares out of treasury in 2001 to fund the Company Match and Company Contributions, as described in Note O, Pension and Other Employee Benefits.

 

In May 2001, the Company issued 14,375,000 shares of common stock for $27.50 per share. In October 2001, the Company issued 31,578,900 shares of common stock for $33.25 per share. The proceeds of the offerings were $1,388 million, net of $56 million of offering costs, and were used to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes.

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted- average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Stock options to purchase 23.7 million, 20.5 million, and 22.3 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, did not affect the computation of diluted EPS. The exercise prices for these options were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective years.

 

Stock options to purchase 17.9 million, 15.5 million, and 10.1 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, had exercise prices that were less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective periods and are included in the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and equity security units in the table above.

 

In 2001, the Company eliminated its dual class capital structure and reclassified its Class A and Class B common stock into a single new class of common stock. The Company also effected a 20-for-1 reverse-forward stock split that resulted in holders of fewer than 20 shares of common stock being cashed out of their holdings.

 

In 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 12 million shares of the Company’s common stock to allow the Company to repurchase shares from time to time when warranted by market conditions. In 1998, the Board of Directors ratified and reauthorized the repurchase of 2.5 million shares that remained under the original authorization. There have been 11.8 million shares purchased under these authorizations through December 31, 2002. There were no shares repurchased under this program during 2002, 2001, and 2000.

 

In 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 6 million shares of the Company’s common stock over the next three years. There have been no shares repurchased under this program.

 

In 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock per year to counter the dilution due to the exercise of stock options. There were no shares repurchased under this program during 2002, 2001, and 2000.

 

The Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, in multiple series with terms as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

In 1997, in connection with the merger with Hughes Defense, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan. The plan protects the Company and its stockholders against hostile takeover tactics. The rights entitle the holder, other than a potential acquirer, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 50 percent discount to the market price if certain triggering events occur, such as the acquisition of 15 percent or more of the Company’s common stock by a person or group.

 

Note L: Federal and Foreign Income Taxes

 

Income reported for federal and foreign tax purposes differs from pretax accounting income due to differences between U.S. Internal Revenue Code requirements and the Company’s accounting practices.

The provision for state income taxes was included in general and administrative expenses which are primarily allocable to government contracts.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to the following:

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill as required by SFAS No. 142, as described in Note A, Accounting Policies, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The higher effective tax rate in 2001 resulted from the increased effect of non-deductible amortization of goodwill on lower income before taxes resulting primarily from the charges at Raytheon Aircraft, as described in Note A, Accounting Policies, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

 

In 2002, 2001, and 2000, domestic income before taxes amounted to $999 million, $6 million, and $743 million, respectively, and foreign income before taxes amounted to $75 million, $118 million, and $89 million, respectively. Net cash refunds were $145 million, $27 million, and $22 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 

Deferred federal and foreign income taxes consisted of the following at December 31:

At December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $1.2 billion that expire in 2020 through 2022 and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $87 million that expire in 2005 through 2007. The Company believes it will be able to utilize all of these carryforwards over the next 3 to 4 years.

 

Note M: Commitments and Contingencies

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had commitments under long-term leases requiring annual rentals on a net lease basis as follows:

In 2002, the Company sold its corporate headquarters and is leasing it back while the Company’s new corporate headquarters is being constructed. The Company’s new corporate headquarters are expected to be completed in 2003. Remaining lease payments under this lease at December 31, 2002, which are included in the table above, total approximately $4 million.

 

In 1998, the Company entered into a $490 million property sale and five-year operating lease (synthetic lease) facility. Under this lease facility property, plant, and equipment was sold and leased back in order to diversify the Company’s sources of funding and extend the term of a portion of the Company’s financing obligations. In 2003, the Company is required to buy back the assets remaining in the lease facility for approximately $138 million. Remaining lease payments under the lease facility at December 31, 2002, which are included in the table above, total $28 million in 2003. Rent expense was $276 million in 2002 and 2001 and $285 million in 2000.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had commitments under an agreement to outsource a significant portion of its information technology function requiring minimum annual payments as follows:

The Company, in limited instances, has provided indemnifications for certain liabilities that could arise from the Company’s use of leased properties, outsourcing agreements, or sales of businesses. The Company is unable to estimate future payments, if any, that may be required under the aforementioned indemnities.

 

In connection with certain aircraft sales, the Company had offered trade-in incentives whereby the customer will receive a pre-determined trade-in value if they purchase another aircraft from the Company. The difference between the value of these trade-in incentives, the majority of which expire by the end of 2005, and the current estimated fair value of the underlying aircraft was approximately $28 million at December 31, 2002. There is a high degree of uncertainty inherent in the assessment of the likelihood and value of trade-in commitments.

 

The Company self-insures for losses and expenses for aircraft product liability up to a maximum of $10 million per occurrence and $50 million annually. Insurance is purchased from third parties to cover excess aggregate liability exposure from $50 million to $1.2 billion. This coverage also includes the excess of liability over $10 million per occurrence. The aircraft product liability reserve was $13 million and $17 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. The Company’s estimate of total environmental remediation costs expected to be incurred is $143 million. On a discounted basis, the Company estimates the liability to be $92 million before U.S. government recovery and has accrued this amount at December 31, 2002. A portion of these costs are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. The recovery of environmental cleanup costs from the U.S. government is considered probable based on the Company’s long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $49 million at December 31, 2002 for the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government, which is included in contracts in process. 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 the Company’s responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, however, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company issues guarantees and has banks and insurance companies issue, on its behalf, letters of credit to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention, and advance payment obligations. Approximately $1,227 million and $1,350 million of these contingent obligations were outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These instruments expire on various dates primarily through 2006. In the normal course of operations, the Company guarantees the performance of its subsidiaries on certain contracts and projects directly or through surety companies. At December 31, 2002, the amount of letters of credit, performance bonds, and parent guarantees, for which there were stated values, that remained outstanding was $367 million, $344 million, and $25 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations and are included in the numbers above, however, additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding.

 

In 1997, the Company provided a first loss guarantee of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank debt through 2015 related to the Brazilian government’s System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) program. The Company has also guaranteed 50 percent of Space Imaging’s debt, as described in Note H, Other Assets.

 

Defense contractors are subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the General Accounting Office, the Department of Justice, and Congressional Committees. The Department of Justice, from time to time, has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by the Company. Individually and in the aggregate, these investigations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In 2002, the Company received service of a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the District of California. The subpoena seeks documents related to the activities of an international sales representative engaged by the Company related to a foreign military sales contract in Korea in the late 1990s. The Company has in place appropriate compliance policies and procedures, and believes its conduct has been consistent with those policies and procedures. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation.

 

The Company continues to cooperate with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on an investigation related to the Company’s accounting practices primarily related to the commuter aircraft business and the timing of revenue recognition at Raytheon Aircraft from 1997 to 2001. The Company has been providing documents and information to the SEC staff. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or any action that the SEC might take.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements continued

 

In late 1999, the Company and two of its officers were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits which were consolidated into a single complaint in June 2000, when four additional former or present officers were named as defendants (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint principally alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making misleading statements and by failing to disclose material information concerning the Company’s financial performance during the class period of October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999. In March 2002, the court certified the class of plaintiffs as those people who purchased the Company’s stock between October 7, 1998 and October 12, 1999. In September 2000, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which the plaintiffs opposed. The court heard arguments on the motion in February 2001. In August 2001, the court issued an order dismissing most of the claims asserted against the Company and the individual defendants. Discovery is proceeding on the two circumstances that remain the subject of claims.

 

In 1999 and 2000, the Company was also named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at the time (except one) were named as defendants in purported derivative lawsuits. The derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the Consolidated Complaint and further allege that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and allegedly failed to exercise due care and diligence in the management and administration of the affairs of the Company. In December 2001, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss one of the derivative lawsuits. These actions have since been consolidated, and the plaintiffs have filed a consolidated amended complaint. The defendants have advised the court that they intend to file a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint.

 

In June 2001, a purported class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of all purchasers of common stock or senior notes of WGI during the class period of April 17, 2000 through March 1, 2001 (the “WGI Complaint”). The plaintiff class claims to have suffered harm by purchasing WGI securities because the Company and certain of its officers allegedly violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the true financial condition of RE&C in order to sell RE&C to WGI at an artificially inflated price. An amended complaint was filed in October 2001 alleging similar claims. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion seeking to dismiss the action in November 2001. In April 2002, the motion to dismiss was denied. The defendants have filed their answer to the amended complaint and discovery is proceeding.

 

In July 2001, the Company was named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at the time have been named as defendants in two identical purported derivative lawsuits. The derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the WGI Complaint and further allege that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and failed to maintain systems necessary for prudent management and control of the Company’s operations. In December 2001, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss one of the derivative lawsuits.

 

Also in July 2001, the Company was named as a nominal defendant and members of its Board of Directors and several current and former officers have been named as defendants in another purported shareholder derivative action which contains allegations similar to those included in the WGI Complaint and further alleges that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to the Company and failed to maintain systems necessary for prudent management and control of the Company’s operations. In June 2002, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In September 2002, the plaintiff agreed to voluntarily dismiss this action without prejudice so that it can be re-filed in another jurisdiction.

 

Although the Company believes that it and the other defendants have meritorious defenses to each and all of the aforementioned class action and derivative complaints and intends to contest each lawsuit vigorously, an adverse resolution of any of the lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in the period in which the lawsuits are resolved. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to any of the lawsuits.

 

In addition, various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While the ultimate liability from these proceedings is presently indeterminable, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

 

Note N: Stock Plans

 

The 2001 Stock Plan and 1995 Stock Option Plan provide for the grant of both incentive and nonqualified stock options at an exercise price which is not less than 100 percent of the fair value on the date of grant. The 1991 Stock Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options at an exercise price which is 100 percent of the fair value on the date of grant and nonqualified stock options at an exercise price which may be less than the fair value on the date of grant. The 1976 Stock Option Plan provided for the grant of both incentive and nonqualified stock options at an exercise price which is 100 percent of the fair value on the date of grant. No further grants are allowed under the 1991 Stock Plan and 1976 Stock Option Plan. All of these plans were approved by the Company’s stockholders.

 

The plans also provide that all stock options may generally be exercised in their entirety 1 to 6 years after the date of grant. Incentive stock options terminate 10 years from the date of grant, and those stock options granted after December 31, 1986 become exercisable to a maximum of $100,000 per year. Nonqualified stock options terminate 11 years from the date of grant, 10 years and a day if issued in connection with the 1995 Stock Option Plan, or as determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (MDCC) if issued under the 2001 Stock Plan.

 

The 2001 Stock Plan and 1991 Stock Plan also provide for the award of restricted stock and restricted units. The 2001 Stock Plan also provides for the award of stock appreciation rights. The 1997 Nonemployee Directors Restricted Stock Plan provides for the award of restricted stock to nonemployee directors. Restricted stock, restricted unit, and stock appreciation rights awards are determined by the MDCC and are compensatory in nature. Restricted stock, restricted units, and stock appreciation rights vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC. Restricted stock awards entitle the participant to full dividend and voting rights. Unvested shares are restricted as to disposition and subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company also maintains a stock option plan which may result in the issuance of additional stock options under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.

 

No further grants are allowed under the 2001 Stock Plan, 1997 Nonemployee Directors Restricted Stock Plan, and 1995 Stock Option Plan after January 31, 2011, November 25, 2006, and March 21, 2005, respectively.

 

Awards of 201,800; 207,100; and 1,152,800 shares of restricted stock and restricted units were made to employees and directors at a weighted average fair value at the grant date of $32.62, $28.13, and $21.21 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The required conditions for 428,600; 304,600; and 140,900 shares of restricted stock and restricted units were satisfied in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. There were 183,500; 715,800; and 285,900 shares of restricted stock and restricted units forfeited in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. There were 837,600; 1,249,300; and 2,062,600 shares of restricted stock and restricted units outstanding at December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The amount of compensation expense recorded was $7 million, $12 million, and $19 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The balance of unearned compensation was $12 million and $17 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

There were 59.2 million, 70.6 million, and 49.2 million additional shares of common stock (including shares held in treasury) authorized for stock options and restricted stock awards at December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Note O: Pension and Other Employee Benefits

 

The Company has pension and retirement plans covering the majority of its employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Total pension income includes foreign pension expense of $9 million in 2002, $3 million in 2001, and $7 million in 2000. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. employees may become eligible for these benefits. The measurement date is October 31.

 

Plan assets consist primarily of publicly-traded equity securities (including 2,279,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $70 million at December 31, 2002 and 87,000 of the Company’s equity security units, with a fair value of $5 million at December 31, 2002) and publicly-traded fixed income securities.

 

The information presented below includes the effect of divestitures. In 2002, the Company recorded a $41 million other benefits curtailment gain, which is included in discontinued operations, as a result of the sale of AIS. In 2001, the Company recorded a $17 million pension benefits curtailment gain and a $1 million other benefits curtailment gain as a result of workforce reductions at RAC and the sale of a majority interest in the Company’s aviation support business. The Company recorded a $4 million other benefits curtailment gain in 2001 and a $6 million pension benefits curtailment gain in 2000 as a result of the closure of the Company’s Lewisville, TX operation. In 2000, the Company recorded a $35 million pension benefits curtailment gain, which is included in discontinued operations, as a result of the sale of RE&C.

The actual rate of return on pension plan assets was (9.6) percent, 1.7 percent, and 8.9 percent for the three, five, and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2002, respectively.

 

The effect of a one percent increase and decrease in the assumed healthcare trend rate for each future year for the aggregate of service and interest cost is $8 million and $(7) million, respectively, and for the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is $114 million and $(100) million, respectively.

 

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $10,998 million, $9,942 million, and $8,022 million, respectively, at December 31, 2002, and $1,880 million, $1,817 million, and $1,275 million, respectively, at December 31, 2001.

 

The Company maintains an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which includes the Company’s 401(k) plan (defined contribution plan), under which covered employees are allowed to contribute up to a specific percentage of their pay. The Company matches the employee’s contribution, up to a maximum of generally between three and four percent of the employee’s pay, by making a contribution to the Company stock fund (Company Match). Total expense for the defined contribution plan was $166 million, $183 million, and $176 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The defined contribution plan expense includes expense from discontinued operations of $2 million in 2002 and $9 million in 2001 and 2000.

 

The Company also makes an annual contribution to the Company stock fund of approximately one-half of one percent of salaries and wages, limited to $200,000 in 2002 and $170,000 in 2001 and 2000, of most U.S. salaried and hourly employees (Company Contributions). The expense was $26 million, $28 million, and $26 million and the number of shares allocated to participant accounts was 640,000; 941,000; and 1,455,000 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 

The Company funded a portion of the Company Match and Company Contributions in 2002, 2001, and 2000 through the issuance of common stock.

 

At December 31, 2002, there was a total of $6.4 billion invested in the Company’s defined contribution plan. At December 31, 2002, there was a total of $1.3 billion invested in the Company stock fund consisting of $488 million of Company Match which must remain invested in the Company stock fund for five years from the year in which the contribution was made or the year in which the employee reaches age 55, whichever is earlier; $189 million of Company Contributions which must remain invested in the Company stock fund until the employee reaches age 55 and completes 10 years of service; and $661 million over which there are no restrictions.

Intersegment sales in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, were $275 million, $223 million, and $180 million for Electronic Systems, $123 million, $117 million, and $122 million for Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems, $593 million, $545 million, and $496 million for Technical Services, $117 million, $106 million, and $110 million for Commercial Electronics, and $4 million, $4 million, and $59 million for Aircraft.

 

Segment Reorganization

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company will begin reporting its government and defense businesses in six segments. In addition, the Company’s Commercial Electronics businesses have been reassigned to the new government and defense businesses. The Company’s Aircraft segment will continue to be reported separately. Accordingly, beginning in the first quarter of 2003, the Company will report its financial results in the following segments: IDS, IIS, MS, NCS, SAS, TS, and RAC.

 

Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) provides integrated air and missile defense and naval and maritime war-fighting systems and modeling and simulation capabilities.

 

Intelligence and Information Systems (IIS) provides signal and image processing, geospatial intelligence, airborne and spaceborne command and control, ground engineering support, and weather and environmental management.

 

Missile Systems (MS) provides air-to-air, precision strike, surface Navy air defense, land combat missiles, guided projectiles, kinetic kill vehicles, and directed energy weapons.

 

Network Centric Systems (NCS) provides network centric solutions to integrate sensors, communications, and command and control to manage the battlespace.

 

Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) provides electro-optical/infrared sensors, airborne radars, solid state high energy lasers, precision guidance systems, electronic warfare systems, and space-qualified systems for civil and military applications.

 

Technical Services (TS) provides technical, scientific, and professional services for defense, federal, and commercial customers worldwide.

 

Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) manufactures, markets, and supports business jets, turbo-props, and piston-powered aircraft for the world’s commercial, regional airline, fractional ownership, and military aircraft markets.

 

Also beginning in the first quarter of 2003, the Company will change the way pension expense or income is reported in the Company’s segment results. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes, which is not necessarily indicative of the funding requirements of pension plans, which are determined by other factors. A major factor for determining pension funding requirements are Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) that proscribe the allocation to and recovery of pension costs on U.S. government contracts. The Company will report the difference between SFAS No. 87 (FAS) pension expense or income and CAS pension expense as a separate line item in the Company’s segment results called FAS/CAS Income Adjustment. The Company’s individual segment results will now only include pension expense as determined under CAS, which can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. Previously, the Company’s individual segment results included FAS pension expense or income, which consisted of CAS pension expense and an adjustment to reconcile CAS pension expense to FAS pension expense or income.

Note: Earnings per share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented, therefore, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share may not equal the total computed for the year. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company changed its method of inventory costing at Raytheon Aircraft from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The change decreased the net loss in the fourth quarter of 2002 by $7 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share. The effect of the change on the reported net loss was a decrease of $4 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share in the first and fourth quarter of 2001. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain on debt repurchases of $6 million pretax, $4 million after-tax, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss on debt repurchases of $30 million pre-tax, $20 million after-tax, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share.

 

Note R: Financial Instruments

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had recorded forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges at their fair value. Unrealized gains of $28 million were included in other assets and unrealized losses of $16 million were included in current liabilities. The offset was included in other comprehensive income, net of tax, of which approximately $4 million of net unrealized gains are expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months as the underlying transactions mature. Gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying assets or liabilities being hedged. The maturity dates of the forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2002 extend through 2010. Certain immaterial contracts were not designated as effective hedges and therefore were included in other income and expense. The amount charged to other income and expense related to these contracts was less than $1 million in 2002 and 2001.

 

The Company has one outstanding interest rate swap agreement related to long-term receivables at Raytheon Aircraft with a notional amount of $77 million that matures in 2004. Under this agreement, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 6.2%, and receives a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The variable rate applicable to this agreement was 1.4% at December 31, 2002. This interest rate swap is considered a cash flow hedge. At December 31, 2002, the Company had recorded the interest rate swap at fair value consisting of an unrealized loss of $4 million included in current liabilities with the offset included in other comprehensive income, net of tax, of which approximately $3 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months. The ineffective portion was not material in 2002 and 2001.

Buy amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase foreign currencies and sell amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies. Foreign exchange contracts that do not involve U.S. dollars have been converted to U.S. dollars for disclosure purposes.

 

Foreign currency forward contracts, used only to fix the dollar value of specific commitments and payments to international vendors and the value of foreign currency denominated receipts, have maturities at various dates through 2010 as follows: $344 million in 2003, $108 million in 2004, $82 million in 2005, $61 million in 2006, and $103 million thereafter.

Note T: Subsequent Events

In February 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, the U.S. Customs Service, and the office of Defense Trade Controls of the U.S. Department of State to resolve the U.S. government’s investigation of the contemplated sale by the Company of troposcatter radio equipment to a customer in Pakistan. According to the terms of the settlement, the Company paid a $23 million civil penalty, which had been accrued prior to 2002, and will spend $2 million to improve the Company’s export compliance program. The Company has agreed to appoint a special compliance officer from outside the Company to oversee the Company’s export activities, principally at the communications business of NCS.

Company Responsibility for Financial Statements

 

The financial statements and related information contained in this Annual Report have been prepared by and are the responsibility of the Company’s management. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect judgments and estimates as to the expected effects of transactions and events currently being reported. The Company’s management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements and other financial information included in this Annual Report. To meet this responsibility, the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly executed and recorded. The system includes policies and procedures, internal audits, and Company officers’ reviews.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed solely of outside directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically and, when appropriate, separately with representatives of the independent accountants, Company officers, and the internal auditors to monitor the activities of each.

 

Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, were selected by the Board of Directors to audit the Company’s financial statements and their report follows.

Report of Independent Accountants

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Raytheon Company

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

As discussed in Note F to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of determining the cost of aircraft inventories from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The change has been applied retroactively by restating the consolidated financial statements for prior years.

 

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and its method of accounting for long-lived assets and discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

(1) The table does not include information regarding options the Company assumed in connection with the acquisitions, in 1997, of the defense business of Texas Instruments Incorporated and the defense business of Hughes Electronics Corporation. The Company only assumed individual options and did not assume any equity compensation plans of either Texas Instruments or Hughes Electronics in connection with the foregoing acquisitions. No further options will be granted beyond those previously assumed in connection with the acquisitions. Assumed options that terminate prior to expiration are not available for re-grant. As of December 31, 2002, there were 2,389,700 shares to be issued upon exercise of the assumed options with a weighted average exercise price of $41.28.

 

(2) The number of shares remaining available for future issuance under plans approved by shareholders includes 2,254,700 shares available for stock option grants under the 1995 Stock Option Plan; and 19,793,600 shares available for grant in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units and restricted stock under the 2001 Stock Plan, provided that no more than 5,246,300 shares may be issued as stock units or restricted stock under the 2001 Plan.

 

(3) The 1997 Nonemployee Directors Restricted Stock Plan (the “Directors Plan”) is the only Company equity compensation plan that has not been approved by shareholders.

                                RAYTHEON COMPANY
                      CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

        Agreement by and between Raytheon Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and ______________ ("Executive") dated as of ________________, 2002.

        The Board of Directors of Company believes it is in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders to have the continued dedication of
Executive notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in
Control (as defined in Section 1.5); to diminish the inevitable distraction of
Executive due to personal uncertainties and risks created by a threatened or
pending Change in Control; and to provide Executive with compensation and
benefits arrangements upon a Change in Control which are competitive with those
offered by other corporations.

        Therefore, the Board of Directors has caused the Company to enter into
this Agreement, and the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1       DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings.

1.1     "Affiliated Company" means an affiliated company as defined in Rule
12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

1.2     "Base Salary" means Executive's annual base salary paid or payable
(including any base salary which has been earned but deferred) to Executive by
the Company or an affiliated company immediately preceding the date of a Change
in Control.

1.3     "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

1.4     "Cause" means Executive's:

        (i)     willful and continued failure to perform substantially
                Executive's duties with the Company or one of its affiliates as
                such duties are constituted as of a Change in Control after the
                Company delivers to Executive written demand for substantial
                performance specifically identifying the manner in which
                Executive has not substantially performed Executive's duties;

        (ii)    conviction for a felony; or



        (iii)   willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which
                is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.

For purposes of this Section 1.4, no act or omission by Executive shall be
considered "willful" unless it is done or omitted in bad faith or without
reasonable belief that Executive's action or omission was in the best interests
of the Company. Any act or failure to act based upon (a) authority given
pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board, (b) instructions of the
Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company, or (c) advice of
counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to
be done by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. For
purposes of subsections (i) and (iii) above, Executive shall not be deemed to be
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than three quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting
called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to
Executive and Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be
heard before the Board) finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board
Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subsection (i) or (iii) above
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

1.5     "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred as
of the first day that any one or more of the following conditions shall have
been satisfied:

        (i)     Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section
                13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a "Person"), other
                than those Persons in control of the Company as of the date
                hereof or a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
                an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned
                directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in
                substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock
                of the Company, become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
                13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
                securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the
                combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
                securities; or

        (ii)    A change in the Board such that individuals who as of the date
                hereof constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for
                any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;
                provided, however, that any individual becoming a director
                subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for
                election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of
                at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
                Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual
                were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

                                        2



        (iii)   The stockholders of the Company approve: (a) a plan of complete
                liquidation of the Company; (b) an agreement for the sale or
                disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets;
                (c) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company
                with or involving any other corporation, other than a merger,
                consolidation or reorganization that would result in the voting
                securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
                continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
                being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity)
                at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
                securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding
                immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization.

However, in no event shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of this Agreement if Executive is included in a Person that consummates
the Change in Control. Executive shall not be deemed to be included in a Person
by reason of ownership of (i) less than 3% of the equity in the Person or (ii)
an equity interest in the Person which is otherwise not significant as
determined prior to the Change of Control by a majority of the non-employee
continuing directors of the Company.

1.6     "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1.7     "Good Reason" means any of the following acts or omissions by the
Company without Executive's express written consent:

        (i)     assigning to Executive duties materially inconsistent with
                Executive's position (including status, offices, titles and
                reporting requirements), authority or responsibilities
                immediately prior to a Change in Control or any other action by
                the Company which results in a material diminution of
                Executive's position, authority, duties or responsibilities as
                constituted immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (ii)    requiring Executive (a) to be based at any office or location in
                excess of 50 miles from Executive's office or location
                immediately prior to a Change in Control or (b) to travel on
                Company business to a substantially greater extent than required
                immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (iii)   reducing Executive's Base Salary;

        (iv)    materially reducing in the aggregate Executive's incentive
                opportunities under the Company's or an affiliated company's
                short- and long-term

                                        3



                incentive programs as such opportunities exist immediately prior
                to a Change in Control;

        (v)     materially reducing Executive's targeted annualized award
                opportunities and/or the degree of probability of attainment of
                such annualized award opportunities as such opportunities exist
                immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (vi)    failing to maintain Executive's amount of benefits under or
                relative level of participation in the Company's or an
                affiliated Company's employee benefit or retirement plans,
                policies, practices or arrangements in which the Executive
                participates immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (vii)   purportedly terminating Executive's employment otherwise than as
                expressly permitted by this Agreement; or

        (viii)  failing to comply with and satisfy Section 8.3 hereof by
                requiring any successor to the Company to assume and agree to
                perform the Company's obligations hereunder.

1.8     "Qualifying Termination" means the occurrence of any of the following
events within twenty-four (24) calendar months after a Change in Control:

        (i)     the Company terminates the employment of Executive for any
                reason other than for Cause including, without limitation,
                forcing Executive to retire on any date not of Executive's
                choosing;

        (ii)    Executive terminates employment with the Company for Good
                Reason;

        (iii)   the Company fails to require a successor to assume, or a
                successor refuses to assume, the Company's obligations as
                required by Section 8 hereof; or

        (iv)    the Company or any successor breaches any of the provisions
                hereof.

1.9     "Severance Benefits" means:

        (i)     an amount equal to the product of Executive's Base Salary
                multiplied by two (2);

        (ii)    an amount equal to Executive's unpaid Base Salary through a
                Qualifying Termination;

                                        4



        (iii)   an amount equal to the product of the greater of (a) Executive's
                annual bonus earned for the fiscal year immediately prior to a
                Change in Control and (b) Executive's target annual bonus
                established for the plan year in which a Qualifying Termination
                occurs multiplied by two (2);

        (iv)    an amount equal to the product of Executive's unpaid targeted
                annual bonus established for the plan year in which a Change in
                Control occurs multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
                is the number of days elapsed in the current fiscal year to the
                Qualifying Termination and the denominator of which is 365;

        (v)     an amount equal to the dollar value of Executive's accrued
                vacation through a Qualifying Termination;

        (vi)    an amount equal to all compensation deferred by Executive
                together with all interest thereon;

        (vii)   an amount equal to the actuarial present value of the aggregate
                benefits accrued by Executive as of a Qualifying Termination
                under the Company's supplemental retirement plan calculated
                assuming that Executive's employment continued for two years
                following a Qualifying Termination; provided, however, that for
                purposes of determining Executive's final average pay under the
                supplemental retirement plan, Executive's actual pay history as
                of the Qualifying Termination shall be used; and

        (viii)  fringe benefits pursuant to all welfare, benefit and retirement
                plans under which Executive and Executive's family are eligible
                to receive benefits or coverage as of a Change in Control,
                including but not limited to life insurance, hospitalization,
                disability, medical, dental, pension and thrift plans.

2       QUALIFYING TERMINATION

2.1     Severance Benefits. Following a Qualifying Termination Executive shall
be entitled to all Severance Benefits, conditioned upon receipt of a written
release by the Executive of any claims against the Company or its subsidiaries,
except those claims arising under this Agreement or any other written plan or
agreement, which shall be specifically noted in such release.

2.2     Payment of Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 1.9
(i) through 1.9(vii) shall be paid in cash within 30 days of a Qualifying
Termination.

                                        5



2.3     Duration of Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Section
1.9(viii) shall be provided to Executive at the same premium cost as in effect
immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination. The welfare Severance Benefits
described in Section 1.9(viii) shall be provided following the Qualifying
Termination until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Qualifying
Termination or (ii) the date Executive receives substantially equivalent welfare
benefits from a subsequent employer.

3       NON-QUALIFYING TERMINATIONS

3.1     Voluntary; for Cause; Death. Following a Change in Control, if
Executive's employment is terminated (i) voluntarily by Executive without Good
Reason, (ii) involuntarily by the Company for Cause or (iii) due to death,
Executive shall be entitled to Base Salary and benefits accrued through the date
of termination and Executive's entitlement to all other benefits shall be
determined in accordance with the Company's retirement, insurance and other
applicable plans, policies, practices and arrangements. Thereafter, the Company
shall have no further obligations to Executive hereunder.

4       NOTICE OF TERMINATION

4.1     Notice by Executive or Company. Any termination by Executive for Good
Reason or by the Company for Cause shall be communicated by written notice given
to the other in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof and which:

        (i)     indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement
                relied upon;

        (ii)    sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
                claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision
                indicated to the extent possible; and

        (iii)   specifies the termination date (which date shall not be more
                than 30 days after the giving of such notice).

4.2     Failure to Give Notice. The failure by Executive or the Company to set
forth in the notice of termination required by Section 4.1 any fact or
circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not
waive any right of Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude
Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance
in enforcing Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

                                        6



5       TAX PAYMENTS

5.1     Excise Tax Payments. (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding and except as set forth below, if it is determined that any
payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive
(whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional
payments required under this Section 5) (a "Payment") would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are
incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Executive
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Subsection 5(i), if it is determined that Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up
Payment, but that Executive, after taking into account the Payments and the
Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a net after-tax benefit of at least $50,000
(taking into account both income taxes and any Excise Tax) as compared to the
net after-tax proceeds to Executive resulting from an elimination of the
Gross-Up Payment and a reduction of the Payments, in the aggregate, to an amount
(the "Reduced Amount") such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to
any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive and the
Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

(ii)    Subject to the provisions of Subsection 5(iii), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by
PricewaterhouseCoopers or such other certified public accounting firm as may be
designated by Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed
supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business
days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or
such earlier time as is requested by the Company. If the Accounting Firm is
serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting
the Change in Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized
accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting
firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the
Company to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon
the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the

                                        7



application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination
by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which
will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If the Company
exhausts its remedies pursuant to Subsection 5(iii) and Executive thereafter is
required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of
Executive.

(iii)   Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in
writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim
and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not
pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date
on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on
the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period
that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall:

        (a)     give the Company any information reasonable requested by the
                Company relating to such claim,

        (b)     take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
                Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
                including, without limitation, accepting legal representation
                with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by
                the Company,

        (c)     cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to
                contest such claim, and

        (d)     permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to
                such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection
with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of
this Subsection 5(iii), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in
connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any
and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
taxing

                                        8



authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct
Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or to contest the claim in
any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such
claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment
to Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance
or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further
provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of
taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues
with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and
Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other
issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

(iv)    If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company
pursuant to Subsection 5(iii), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund
with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying
with the requirements of Subsection 5(iii) promptly pay to the Company the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
taxes applicable thereto). If after the receipt by Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to Subsection 5(iii), a determination is made
that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim
and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest
such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to
be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof,
the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

5.2     Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under
this Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required
to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

6       EXTENT OF COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS

6.1     No Set-Off, Etc. The Company's obligation to make the payments and
perform it obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the
Company may have against Executive or others. All payments by the Company
hereunder shall be final, and the Company shall not seek to recover from
Executive any part of any payment for any reason whatsoever.

                                        9



6.2     No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable
to Executive under any provision hereof, and such amounts shall not be reduced
whether or not Executive obtains other employment except to the extent
contemplated by Section 2.3 hereof.

6.3     Payment of Legal Fees and Costs. The Company agrees to pay as incurred,
to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which Executive
may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome
thereof) by the Company, Executive or others of the validity or enforceability
of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of
performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by Executive about the
amount of payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

6.4     Arbitration. Executive shall have the right to have settled by
arbitration any dispute or controversy arising in connection herewith. Such
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association before a panel of three arbitrators sitting in a
location selected by Executive. Judgment may be entered on the award of the
arbitrators in any court having proper jurisdiction. All expenses of such
arbitration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof.

7       TERM

7.1     Initial Term. The term of this Agreement shall be two years from the

7.2     Renewal. The terms of this Agreement automatically shall be extended for

7.3     Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding Sections 7.1 and 7.2 to the
contrary, the Company may not cancel this Agreement following a Change in
Control.

8       SUCCESSORS

8.1     This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written
consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall be inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's legal representatives.
Executive may from time to time designate in writing one or more persons or
entities as primary and/or contingent beneficiaries of any Severance Benefit
owing to Executive hereunder.

                                       10



8.2     This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns.

purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. For purposes

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.21

                                RAYTHEON COMPANY
                      CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

        Agreement by and between Raytheon Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and Thomas M. Culligan ("Executive") dated as of _______________,
2001.

        The Board of Directors of Company believes it is in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders to have the continued dedication of
Executive notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in
Control (as defined in Section 1.5); to diminish the inevitable distraction of
Executive due to personal uncertainties and risks created by a threatened or
pending Change in Control; and to provide Executive with compensation and
benefits arrangements upon a Change in Control which are competitive with those
offered by other corporations.

        Therefore, the Board of Directors has caused the Company to enter into
this Agreement, and the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1       DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings.

1.1     "Affiliated Company" means an affiliated company as defined in Rule
12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

1.2     "Base Salary" means Executive's annual base salary paid or payable
(including any base salary which has been earned but deferred) to Executive by
the Company or an affiliated company immediately preceding the date of a Change
in Control.

1.3     "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

1.4     "Cause" means Executive's:

        (i)     willful and continued failure to perform substantially
                Executive's duties with the Company or one of its affiliates as
                such duties are constituted as of a Change in Control after the
                Company delivers to Executive written demand for substantial
                performance specifically identifying the manner in which
                Executive has not substantially performed Executive's duties;



        (ii)    conviction for a felony; or

        (iii)   willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which
                is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.

For purposes of this Section 1.4, no act or omission by Executive shall be
considered "willful" unless it is done or omitted in bad faith or without
reasonable belief that Executive's action or omission was in the best interests
of the Company. Any act or failure to act based upon (a) authority given
pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board, (b) instructions of the
Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company, or (c) advice of
counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to
be done by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. For
purposes of subsections (i) and (iii) above, Executive shall not be deemed to be
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than three quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting
called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to
Executive and Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be
heard before the Board) finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board
Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subsection (i) or (iii) above
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

1.5     "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred as of the first day that any one or more of the following conditions
shall have been satisfied:

        (i)     Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section
                13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a "Person"), other
                than those Persons in control of the Company as of the date
                hereof or a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
                an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned
                directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in
                substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock
                of the Company, become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
                13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
                securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the
                combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
                securities; or

        (ii)    A change in the Board such that individuals who as of the date
                hereof constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for
                any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;
                provided, however, that any individual becoming a director
                subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for
                election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of
                at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
                Incumbent

                                        2



                Board shall be considered as though such individual were a
                member of the Incumbent Board; or

        (iii)   The stockholders of the Company approve: (a) a plan of complete
                liquidation of the Company; (b) an agreement for the sale or
                disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets;
                (c) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company
                with or involving any other corporation, other than a merger,
                consolidation or reorganization that would result in the voting
                securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
                continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
                being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity)
                at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
                securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding
                immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization.

However, in no event shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of this Agreement if Executive is included in a Person that consummates
the Change in Control. Executive shall not be deemed to be included in a Person
by reason of ownership of (i) less than 3% of the equity in the Person or (ii)
an equity interest in the Person which is otherwise not significant as
determined prior to the Change of Control by a majority of the non-employee
continuing directors of the Company.

1.6     "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1.7     "Good Reason" means any of the following acts or omissions by the
Company without Executive's express written consent:

        (i)     assigning to Executive duties materially inconsistent with
                Executive's position (including status, offices, titles and
                reporting requirements), authority or responsibilities
                immediately prior to a Change in Control or any other action by
                the Company which results in a material diminution of
                Executive's position, authority, duties or responsibilities as
                constituted immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (ii)    requiring Executive (a) to be based at any office or location in
                excess of 50 miles from Executive's office or location
                immediately prior to a Change in Control or (b) to travel on
                Company business to a substantially greater extent than required
                immediately prior to a Change in Control;

                opportunities and/or the degree of probability of attainment of
                such annualized award opportunities as such opportunities exist
                immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (vi)    failing to maintain Executive's amount of benefits under or
                relative level of participation in the Company's or an
                affiliated Company's employee benefit or retirement plans,
                policies, practices or arrangements in which the Executive
                participates immediately prior to a Change in Control;

        (vii)   purportedly terminating Executive's employment otherwise than as
                expressly permitted by this Agreement; or

        (viii)  failing to comply with and satisfy Section 8.3 hereof by
                requiring any successor to the Company to assume and agree to
                perform the Company's obligations hereunder.

        (ii)    Executive terminates employment with the Company for Good
                Reason;

        (iii)   the Company fails to require a successor to assume, or a

        (iv)    an amount equal to the product of Executive's unpaid targeted

                assuming that Executive's employment continued for three years
                following a Qualifying Termination; provided, however, that for
                purposes of determining Executive's final average pay under the
                supplemental retirement plan, Executive's actual pay history as
                of the Qualifying Termination shall be used; and

        (viii)  fringe benefits pursuant to all welfare, benefit and retirement
                plans under which Executive and Executive's family are eligible
                to receive benefits or coverage as of a Change in Control,
                including but not limited to life insurance, hospitalization,
                disability, medical, dental, pension and thrift plans.

2       QUALIFYING TERMINATION

2.1     Severance Benefits. Following a Qualifying Termination Executive shall
be entitled to all Severance Benefits, conditioned upon receipt of a written
release by the Executive of any claims against the Company or its subsidiaries,
except those claims arising under this Agreement or any other written plan or
agreement, which shall be specifically noted in such release. Executive agrees
that, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, there shall be no pyramiding of
severance benefits. Specifically, Executive

                                        5



agrees that his sole entitlement in the event of a Qualifying Termination is to
the severance benefits as set forth in paragraph 1.9, and he shall not be
entitled to severance benefits as provided in his Offer of Employment letter of
December 4, 1998, nor under any other Company policy, procedure, or plan,
including General Policies and Procedures, Subject: Severance Pay Plan, File
Code 33-0003-110.

2.2     Payment of Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 1.9
(i) through 1.9(vii) shall be paid in cash within 30 days of a Qualifying
Termination.

2.3     Duration of Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Section
1.9(viii) shall be provided to Executive at the same premium cost as in effect
immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination. The welfare Severance Benefits
described in Section 1.9(viii) shall be provided following the Qualifying
Termination until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Qualifying
Termination or (ii) the date Executive receives substantially equivalent welfare
benefits from a subsequent employer.

3       NON-QUALIFYING TERMINATIONS

3.1     Voluntary; for Cause; Death. Following a Change in Control, if
Executive's employment is terminated (i) voluntarily by Executive without Good
Reason, (ii) involuntarily by the Company for Cause or (iii) due to death,
Executive shall be entitled to Base Salary and benefits accrued through the date
of termination and Executive's entitlement to all other benefits shall be
determined in accordance with the Company's retirement, insurance and other
applicable plans, policies, practices and arrangements. Thereafter, the Company
shall have no further obligations to Executive hereunder.

4       NOTICE OF TERMINATION

4.1     Notice by Executive or Company. Any termination by Executive for Good
Reason or by the Company for Cause shall be communicated by written notice given
to the other in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof and which:

        (i)     indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement
                relied upon;

        (ii)    sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
                claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision
                indicated to the extent possible; and

        (iii)   specifies the termination date (which date shall not be more
                than 30 days after the giving of such notice).

                                        6



4.2     Failure to Give Notice. The failure by Executive or the Company to set
forth in the notice of termination required by Section 4.1 any fact or
circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not
waive any right of Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude
Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance
in enforcing Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

5       TAX PAYMENTS

5.1     Excise Tax Payments. (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding and except as set forth below, if it is determined that any
payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive
(whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional
payments required under this Section 5) (a "Payment") would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are
incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Executive
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Subsection 5(i), if it is determined that Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up
Payment, but that Executive, after taking into account the Payments and the
Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a net after-tax benefit of at least $50,000
(taking into account both income taxes and any Excise Tax) as compared to the
net after-tax proceeds to Executive resulting from an elimination of the
Gross-Up Payment and a reduction of the Payments, in the aggregate, to an amount
(the "Reduced Amount") such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to
any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive and the
Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

(ii)    Subject to the provisions of Subsection 5(iii), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by
PricewaterhouseCoopers or such other certified public accounting firm as may be
designated by Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed
supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business
days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or
such earlier time as is requested by the Company. If the Accounting Firm is
serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting
the Change in

                                        7



Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm
to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then
be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as
determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the Company to Executive
within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and
Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of
the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made
by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the
calculations required to be made hereunder. If the Company exhausts its remedies
pursuant to Subsection 5(iii) and Executive thereafter is required to make a
payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the
Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid
by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive.

(iii)   Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in
writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim
and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not
pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date
on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on
the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period
that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall:

        (a)     give the Company any information reasonable requested by the
                Company relating to such claim,

        (b)     take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
                Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
                including, without limitation, accepting legal representation
                with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by
                the Company,

        (c)     cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to
                contest such claim, and

        (d)     permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to
                such claim;

                                        8



provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection
with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of
this Subsection 5(iii), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in
connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any
and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either
direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or to contest the
claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest
to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such
claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment
to Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance
or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further
provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of
taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues
with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and
Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other
issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

(iv)    If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company
pursuant to Subsection 5(iii), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund
with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying
with the requirements of Subsection 5(iii) promptly pay to the Company the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
taxes applicable thereto). If after the receipt by Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to Subsection 5(iii), a determination is made
that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim
and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest
such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to
be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof,
the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

5.2     Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under
this Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required
to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

                                        9



6       EXTENT OF COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS

6.1     No Set-Off, Etc. The Company's obligation to make the payments and
perform it obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the
Company may have against Executive or others. All payments by the Company
hereunder shall be final, and the Company shall not seek to recover from
Executive any part of any payment for any reason whatsoever.

6.2     No Mitigation. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other

contemplated by Section 2.3 hereof.

6.3     Payment of Legal Fees and Costs. The Company agrees to pay as incurred,

of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of
performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by Executive about the
amount of payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

6.4     Arbitration. Executive shall have the right to have settled by
arbitration any dispute or controversy arising in connection herewith. Such
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association before a panel of three arbitrators sitting in a
location selected by Executive. Judgment may be entered on the award of the
arbitrators in any court having proper jurisdiction. All expenses of such
arbitration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof.

The offer is a base salary of $500,000 annually, residing in Raytheon's

Additional elements of this offer will consist of the following:

        .       You will be eligible for the Results Based Incentive Program

December 20, 2002

Mr. Franklyn A. Caine

                            Re: Transition Agreement

Dear Frank:

        Please accept this letter confirming the understandings we have reached
with respect to your separation from Raytheon Company, your resignation as an
officer of the companies listed in Attachment A hereto and your transition to
retirement.

        1.      Notice Period: The effective date of your separation from active
employment with Raytheon will be January 2, 2003. In lieu of payment of any
accrued but unused Personal Time Off benefits you may have as of January 2,
2003, you will be placed in a notice period from January 3, 2003 through March
8, 2003. During this notice period you will be treated for pay and benefit
purposes as being an active employee.

        2.      Transition Period: Effective March 9, 2003, you will begin a
transition-to-retirement period which shall continue for 104 weeks through March
8, 2005 (hereinafter the "Transition Period"). If you die prior to the end of
the Transition Period, your estate will receive the remainder of the bi-weekly
salary payments provided for in this paragraph. During the Transition Period,
you will be treated as an active employee and will be paid your normal salary on
a bi-weekly basis, and will participate in company-sponsored employee welfare
and benefit plans and executive perquisites, except that 1) you will be paid a
lump sum amount in lieu of a continuing automobile allowance, and 2) the base
life insurance under the executive benefit program will end as of January 2,
2003/1/. At the end of each fifty-two (52) week period during the Transition
Period, you, or your estate, will receive a Results Based Incentive (RBI) Bonus
at 100% of your 2002 RBI target. Your base salary shall be fixed as of the date
of this Agreement, and you will not be eligible to receive any merit increase or
stock option awards subsequent to that date.

        3.      Results Based Incentive: 2002: You will be eligible to receive a
Results Based Incentive Bonus for 2002 based on established corporate
performance metrics.

        4.      Stock Options: Except as provided in paragraph 5 below, for
vesting purposes, your last day worked shall be January 2, 2003. During the
Transition Period,

- ----------
/1/ Attached at B is a list of those welfare and benefit plans in which you may
participate on an active employee basis during the Transition Period.



                                       -2-

you or your estate may exercise any option which had vested by January
2, 2003, as provided by the Stock Option Plan under which the options were
awarded. Following the Transition Period (March 8, 2005), any vested but
unexercised options may be exercised for the period provided for retired
employees or their estates under the Stock Option Plan.

        5.      Stock Option Acceleration: The Management Development and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved amending the stock
option award granted you on February 25, 2000, to provide that those options
which were scheduled to vest on February 25, 2003, (25,000 Incentive Stock
Options and non-qualified options at the option price of $19.375) shall now vest
on January 1, 2003. The exercise of these options shall be governed by the terms
of the Stock Option Plan under which they were awarded, except as modified by
paragraph 4 above.

        6.      Supplemental Retirement Payment: Pursuant to the terms of your
offer letter of February 22, 1999, you will be entitled to a retirement benefit
using the calculation formula and other applicable terms and conditions
contained in the Raytheon Company Pension Plan for Salaried Employees and the
Raytheon Excess Pension Plan, calculated using your service with Raytheon, the
104 weeks of the Transition Period, and your twenty-six (26) years of combined
service with New Jersey Bell, Exxon Corp., Penn Central, RCA, United
Technologies and Wang. The Final Average Earnings will include those sums
received during the Transition Period. This retirement benefit shall be offset
by any cash benefits you are immediately entitled to receive under any
defined-benefit pension plan of any of the companies listed above, as well as
any amounts you are entitled to receive from Social Security at the earliest
eligibility date. Before commencement of your retirement benefit from Raytheon,
you will be required to provide the Company with sufficient information
regarding your retirement benefits from the companies listed above to enable
Raytheon to calculate your final pension benefit.

        If you die prior to the end of the Transition Period, a pension will be
paid to your wife as provided under the Raytheon Excess Pension Plan and will be
based on the assumption that you have a vested benefit under the Raytheon
Company Pension Plan for Salaried Employees based on the service credit
described in the preceding paragraph. Your spouse will be entitled to the
retirement benefit she would have been entitled to if you had remained employed
through the end of the Transition Period, then retired and elected a joint and
50% survivor annuity and then died.

        7.      Transition Services: A lump sum payment of Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($20,000) will be made available to assist with transition services
expenses. This lump sum payment will be subject to required statutory
withholdings.

        8.      Mutual Release: You and Raytheon agree to execute the Mutual
Release attached hereto in exchange for the consideration contained in this
Transition Agreement. The Mutual Release shall be executed on or about your last
day of active employment.



                                       -3-

        9.      Litigation Cooperation: You agree that, in the event that
Raytheon Company becomes a party in any legal or administrative proceeding or
asserted claim relating to events which occurred during your employment, you
will cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably possible in the preparation and
presentation by Raytheon Company in the prosecution or defense, including
without limitation the execution of affidavits or other documents providing
information requested by Raytheon Company. In the event that such litigation
cooperation would be expected to require an appreciable period of time, which
would result in any out-of-pocket cost or lost economic opportunity on your
part, the Company agrees to provide an appropriate fee to offset such items.

        10.     Indemnification: You will be entitled to the indemnifications
provided pursuant to Article X, Section 2 of Raytheon's Certificate of
Incorporation. In addition, you shall be entitled to the benefit of any
directors and officers liability insurance policy or fiduciary liability
insurance policy maintained by Raytheon for the benefit of its officers,
directors or fiduciaries, as in effect from time to time, in each case
concerning matters related to your performance as an officer, director or
fiduciary of Raytheon or any Raytheon pension plan.

        11.     Security Clearance: In the course of your employment at Raytheon
Company, you may have come into possession of or exposure to matters due to your
security clearance. Raytheon Company reminds you that disclosure of any
information which came to you as a result of your security clearance, including
work product, company plans and other matters, shall not be discussed or
revealed in any way, except if required to do so pursuant to a proceeding
instituted by an appropriate government agency or at the request of an
authorized company agent.

        12.     Confidential and Proprietary Information: You agree to keep all
confidential and proprietary information of the Company, its subsidiaries and
affiliated companies, including joint venture partners, strictly confidential
except to the extent disclosure is required by law or court order, except to the
extent that such confidential and proprietary information has become public
through no fault of your own.

        13.     Confidentiality of This Agreement: You and Raytheon Company
mutually agree to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential
and will not disclose the terms hereof to anyone, except to immediate family
members, tax accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority, and the Division of Employment and
Training in connection with any application you may make for unemployment
compensation benefits, and/or others who have a reasonable need to know the
terms hereof.

        14.     Insider Information: In your capacity as a senior executive, you
were a Restricted Employee for purposes of Raytheon's General Policies and
Procedures 90-0021-110; Subject: Insider Trading/Personal Securities
Trans-actions. As such, pursuant to Section 4.3 of this policy, you must comply
with the Trading Window limitation for the three-month period ending on April 2,

                                       -4-

        15.     Arbitration: Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be
settled exclusively through arbitration. Such arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a city to be determined by mutual agreement. The
decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on both parties.
Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrators in any court having
proper jurisdiction.

        16.     Entirety of Agreement: This Agreement supersedes all previous
agreements, written or oral, between Raytheon Company and you relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, changed or
discharged, in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by the

        You understand that, if you elect to revoke the Release attached
hereto within seven (7) days after its execution, this letter Agreement shall be
null and void and each party will have all rights and obligations afforded them
under the law as if this Letter Agreement had not been signed by the parties and
as if the Release had never been signed by you. You agree, in the event of
revocation of the Release, to immediately return any consideration received in
support of said Release.

You will also be entitled to receive a maximum of two (2) year's targeted

March 2004 and 2005.

        3.      Personal Time Off ("PTO"): You will be paid your unused accrued
PTO within 20 days of your last day worked.

        4.      Retirement: You are eligible for pension benefits pursuant to

Mr. Hansel E. Tookes, II

                            Re: Transition Agreement

Dear Hansel:

     Please accept this letter confirming the understandings we have reached
with respect to your employment with Raytheon Company, your resignation as an
officer of the companies listed in Attachment A hereto, and your transition to
retirement.

     1.   Transition Period: Your transition from active employment with
Raytheon to retirement status shall be effective November 1, 2002, with the
concurrence of Tom Culligan, and your last date of active employment being
December 31, 2002. Upon your request, your retirement payments may commence as
early as January 1, 2003, as discussed more fully in paragraph 5 below.

     2.   Severance/Retirement Transition Payment and Benefits. You will receive
a Severance/Retirement Transition Payment of two and one-half (2 1/2) times your
current annual base salary (total $1,175,625 based on your current annual salary
of $470,250) payable within twenty (20) days of December 31, 2002. This payment
is subject to required statutory withholding.

     You will also be eligible to participate on an active employee basis in
company-sponsored medical and dental benefit programs for the period January
2003 through June 2005. Upon the completion of this period, you will not be
eligible for any company-subsidized retiree medical benefits, but you and your
spouse will have access to this medical coverage at your own expense.

     Your participation in other company-sponsored welfare benefit plans,
including the severance pay plan, optional life insurance, accidental death and
dismemberment, short-term disability and long-term disability, shall cease as of
December 31, 2002.

     3.   Results Based Incentive: 2002. You will be eligible to receive a
Results Based Incentive Bonus for 2002 at the discretion of Raytheon based on
established performance metrics.

     4.   Personal Time Off ("PTO"): You will be paid your unused accrued PTO
within twenty (20) days of your last day worked.

     5.   Stock Options: For vesting and exercise purposes, your last day worked
shall be December 31, 2002, and you will be eligible to exercise any vested
options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan rules for retired employees.

     6.   Supplemental Retirement Payment: Pursuant to the terms of your offer
letter of July 6, 1999, you will be entitled to a retirement benefit using the
calculation formula and other applicable terms and conditions contained in the
Raytheon Company Pension Plan for Salaried Employees, calculated using your
service with Raytheon and your twenty-two (22) years of service with United
Airlines and United Technologies. This retirement payment shall be offset by the
amount of the retirement benefit which you are eligible to receive from the
United Technologies and United Airlines plans, as well as the amount you are
entitled to receive from Social Security at the earliest eligibility date.
Attached at A and incorporated into this Agreement is a detailed summary of the
monthly pension and pay-out options for which you will be eligible based on a
pension commencement date of January 1, 2003.

     7.   Executive Life Insurance. Upon the first anniversary of the Executive
Life Insurance policy acquired on your behalf which occurs after your
retirement, the Company will fund this policy, at its current interest rate
based on a death benefit of two (2) times your annual salary as of your last day
worked. This payment is expected to be approximately $53,000. The payment on
your behalf will be imputed income to you for tax purposes. This insurance
policy has a conversion feature which you may exercise at your own expense.

     8.   General Release: You agree to execute the General Release attached
hereto in exchange for the consideration contained in this Transition Agreement.
The General Release shall be executed on or about your last day of employment.

Purchaser")) desire to sell to the Seller their respective undivided interests
in the Receivables purchased under the Purchase Agreement and to terminate their
respective Commitments under the Purchase Agreement;

          WHEREAS, Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as a Purchaser (the
"Remaining Committed Purchaser"; the Remaining Committed Purchaser and the
Remaining Conduit Purchaser may be referred to collectively as the "Remaining
Purchasers"), desires to continue to be a Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement
and to reduce its Commitment under



the Purchase Agreement to the amount set forth on Schedule I hereto and in
accordance with the terms set forth below;

          WHEREAS, the Remaining Conduit Purchaser desires to continue to be a
Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and to transfer and convey to the Seller
a portion of the Remaining Conduit Purchaser's undivided interest in the
Receivables, so that the Remaining Conduit Purchaser maintains an undivided
interest in the Receivables (the "Remaining Conduit Purchaser's Retained
Interest") with an Outstanding Purchase Price set forth on Schedule II hereto;
and

          WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that the Purchase Agreement be
amended as more fully set forth herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to
be legally bound, do covenant and agree as follows:

          1.    Capitalized terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and used but
not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them
in the Purchase Agreement (such definitions to be equally applicable to both the
singular and the plural forms of the terms defined). Any term defined by
reference to an agreement, instrument or other document shall have the meaning
so assigned to it whether or not such document is in effect. The words "hereof",
"herein" and "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Agreement.

          2.    On the date hereof and on the Repurchase Effective Date referred
to below, each Terminating Purchaser represents and warrants, with respect to
itself only, for the benefit of the other parties hereto that such Terminating
Purchaser has not assigned any or all of its respective undivided interests,
Commitment or other interests under the Purchase Agreement to any other Person,
except as reflected on Annex 1 to this Agreement.

          3.    The "Repurchase Effective Date" shall be the date of receipt by
the Managing Facility Agent of (i) an executed counterpart of this Agreement
from the Seller, the Servicer, RAC, Raytheon, all of the Purchasers, the
Co-Administrative Agents, the Co-Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the
Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Old Administrative Agent,
(ii) an amount (the "Repurchase Price"), in immediately available funds from (or
at the direction of) the Seller equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of
the Outstanding Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement, as set forth on
Schedule III hereto (other than the Outstanding Purchase Price set forth on
Schedule II hereto that will remain outstanding and owing to the Remaining
Purchasers), plus (B) interest accrued and to accrue thereon until (but not
including) the Repurchase Effective Date, which interest shall accrue on and
after the date hereof, at a two-week LIBO Rate (the "Designated LIBO Rate") to
be set by the Managing Facility Agent on or about the second Business Day prior
to November 8, 2002 for the period from and including November 8, 2002 to the
expected Repurchase Effective Date of November 25, 2002, plus (C) fees accrued
and to accrue through the Repurchase Effective Date,

                                        2



in the amount as set forth on Schedule III hereto and (iii) an executed letter
agreement, dated of even date herewith, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Managing Facility Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), among the
Remaining Purchasers, the Managing Facility Agent, the Seller, the Servicer, RAC
and Raytheon. This Section 3 is subject to Section 5 hereof. On the Repurchase
Effective Date, (i) each Terminating Purchaser hereby agrees that all
outstanding amounts due and owing to such Terminating Purchaser related to the
Purchase Agreement shall have been paid in full and each Terminating Purchaser
shall be automatically released from any and all obligations and liabilities
thereunder and (ii) each Terminating Purchaser hereby transfers and reconveys to
the Seller, without recourse and without representation or warranty other than
as set forth in Section 2 above, all of its respective right, title and interest
in, to and under all Receivables, and the Remaining Conduit Purchaser hereby
transfers and reconveys to the Seller, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, all of its right, title and interest (other than the
Remaining Conduit Purchaser's Retained Interest) in, to and under the
Receivables (the interests reconveyed pursuant to this clause (ii) may be
referred to collectively as, the "Reconveyed Interest"). The Seller hereby
accepts the transfer and reconveyance of the Reconveyed Interest.
Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, nothing in this
Agreement shall terminate the security interests (a) granted under Section 11.11
of the Purchase Agreement or (b) otherwise arising under the Purchase Agreement.

          4.    The Managing Facility Agent hereby agrees (a) to pay to the
respective Terminating Purchasers and the Remaining Purchasers, promptly
following the Managing Facility Agent's receipt of the Repurchase Price, the
applicable amounts set forth under the names of the Terminating Purchasers and
the Remaining Purchasers on Annex 1 to this Agreement and (b) promptly to notify
each of the Purchasers, the Co-Administrative Agents, the Co-Arrangers, the
Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the
Old Administrative Agent of the occurrence of the Repurchase Effective Date.

          5.    Each of the parties hereto agrees, acknowledges and consents to
(a) the payment by the Seller to the Managing Facility Agent of the Repurchase
Price on the Repurchase Effective Date, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
the Purchase Agreement, (b) the termination of the respective Commitment of each
of the Terminating Purchasers on the Repurchase Effective Date and the reduction
of the Commitment of the Remaining Committed Purchaser on the Repurchase
Effective Date, notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Purchase Agreement,
including Section 2.9 thereof and (c) maintain its respective Commitment and
Outstanding Purchase Price from the date of this Agreement until the Repurchase
Effective Date with interest to accrue thereon at the Designated LIBO Rate,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Purchase Agreement; provided,
however that if the Repurchase Effective Date does not occur on or prior to the
expected Repurchase Effective Date of November 25, 2002, interest will accrue at
the Base Rate from (and including) November 25, 2002 until the occurrence of the
Repurchase Effective Date, notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement. It is expressly agreed to and understood by the parties hereto that
if the Repurchase Effective Date does not occur on the expected Repurchase
Effective Date of November 25, 2002, then the Repurchase Price shall be
increased accordingly to reflect the interest to accrue (at the Base Rate) and
fees to accrue from (and including) November 25, 2002 until the occurrence of
the Repurchase Effective Date.

                                        3



          6.    Upon the occurrence of the Repurchase Effective Date, the
Purchase Agreement shall automatically be amended so that (a) the Purchasers
(other than the Remaining Purchasers), the Co-Administrative Agents, the
Co-Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent and the
Co-Documentation Agents are removed as parties to the Purchase Agreement and
such parties shall no longer have any rights or obligations thereunder (other
than those rights which by their terms survive the termination of the Purchase
Agreement), (b) the Seller shall not request and the Remaining Purchasers shall,
in no event, be under any obligation to purchase any Receivable or any interest
in any Receivable from the Seller (and shall, in no event, be liable for
declining any such request), without the prior written consent of the Remaining
Purchasers, and (c) Schedule I of the Purchase Agreement is amended and replaced
in its entirety by Schedule I to this Agreement.

          7.    Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall from time to
time on and after the date hereof, at the sole expense of the Seller, take all
such actions (and execute and deliver all such documents and instruments) as are
reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

          8.    This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns
of each of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of each of the
parties to the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

          9.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW
PRINCIPLES).

          10.   This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
all such counterparts together constituting but one and the same instrument.
Executed counterparts of this Agreement may be delivered to the Managing
Facility Agent by facsimile transmission. Except as specifically amended hereby,
the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. All references to
the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to mean the Purchase Agreement as amended
and modified hereby. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the
Purchase Agreement, but shall constitute an amendment thereof.

ARTICLE II The Credits SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (a)(i) such Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding (ii) such Lender's Commitment or (b)(i) the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans exceeding (ii) the Total Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in 14 Section 2.03. The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the Total Commitment. (b) Subject to Sections 2.09 and 2.14, each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than 15 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. (c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 12:00 (noon), New York City time, credit the amounts so received to an account with the Administrative Agent designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request, which account must be in the name of the Borrower or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of demand therefor such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date, unless the Borrower has given notice to extend payment of the principal amount of the Loans until the first anniversary of the Maturity Date in accordance with subsection 2.05(a). SECTION 2.03. Competitive Bid Procedure. (a) In order to request Competitive Bids, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Competitive Bid Request (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the proposed date of such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate 15 Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the proposed date of such Borrowing. A Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within five Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request. No ABR Loan shall be requested in, or made pursuant to, a Competitive Bid Request. A Competitive Bid Request that does not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit D-1 may be rejected by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such rejection as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid Request shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) whether the Borrowing being requested is to be a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and the location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (iv) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, which shall be a minimum of $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not greater than the Total Commitment then available; and (v) the Interest Period with respect thereto (which may not end after the Maturity Date unless the Borrower has given notice to extend payment of the principal amount of the Loans until the first anniversary of the Maturity Date in accordance with subsection 2.05(a)). Promptly after its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request that is not rejected, the Administrative Agent shall by telecopy in the form set forth in Exhibit D-2 invite the Lenders to bid to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request. (b) Each Lender may make one or more Competitive Bids to the Borrower responsive to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy in the form of Exhibit D-3, (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit D-3 may be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall refer to this Agreement and specify (x) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make, (y) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans and (z) the Interest Period applicable to such Loan or Loans and the last day thereof. (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount of each Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid shall have been made and the identity of the Lender that shall have made each bid. (d) The Borrower may, subject only to the provisions of this paragraph (d), accept or reject any Competitive Bid. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing and (y) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided, however, that (i) the failure of the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower has decided to reject a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed (but may be less than) the principal amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, (iv) if the Borrower shall accept a Competitive Bid or Bids made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate but the amount of such Competitive Bid or Bids would cause the total amount to be accepted by the Borrower to exceed the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, then the Borrower shall accept a portion of such Competitive Bid or Bids in an amount equal to 16 the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request less the amount of all other Competitive Bids so accepted, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Bid and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further, however, that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable. (e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted. (f) If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) above. SECTION 2.04. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Competitive Borrowing, as to which this Section 2.04 shall not apply), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, signed by or on behalf of the Borrower, and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.04 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing. SECTION 2.05. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees that the outstanding principal balance of each Revolving Loan shall be payable on the Maturity Date and the outstanding principal balance of each Competitive Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Loan shall bear interest from and including the date of such Loan on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.07. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent given not more than 60 days and at least 15 days prior to the Maturity Date, extend the date upon which the principal amount of the Loans of the Lenders outstanding as of the Maturity Date will be due and payable to the first anniversary of the Maturity Date. If the Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Borrower hereby 17 unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans of such Lender on the first anniversary of the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII). (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid by such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. SECTION 2.06. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (a "Facility Fee") for the period from and including the Closing Date to the later of (i) the Maturity Date (or if the Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the first anniversary of the Maturity Date) and (ii) the date the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full, computed at the Applicable Percentage on the average daily amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) or, after the Maturity Date or after the Commitments have been otherwise terminated hereunder, the average daily amount of the Loans outstanding, of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the later of (i) the Maturity Date (or if the Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the first anniversary of the Maturity Date) and (ii) the date the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender, a utilization fee (a "Utilization Fee") at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% for each Excess Utilization Day during the period for which payment is made on the outstanding Loans of such Lender on such Excess Utilization Day. Such Utilization Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the later of (i) the Maturity Date (or if the Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the first anniversary of the Maturity Date) and (ii) the date the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each 18 Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date. (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Agents or their Affiliates, for their own account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the "Agents' Fees"). (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. SECTION 2.07. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of each Revolving Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time and (ii) in the case of each Competitive Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Margin offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the fixed rate of interest offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03. (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.08. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of overdue principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.07 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%. SECTION 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that (a) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or (b) the rates at 19 which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders having Commitments representing at least 20% of the Total Commitment of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or (c) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination (other than any such determination pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, to the extent the circumstances giving rise to such determination would also give Lenders the right to demand additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.13), until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be of no force and effect and shall be denied by the Administrative Agent. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) the Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Competitive Loans at the time. (c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. SECTION 2.11. Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Credit Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type; 20 (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; (iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15; (v) subject to Section 2.05(a), any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing. Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto (which, subject to Section 2.05(a), may not end after the Maturity Date). If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion into or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the other Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.11 and of each Lender's portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.11 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.11 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing. The Borrower shall not have the right to continue or convert the Interest Period with respect to any Competitive Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.11. SECTION 2.12. Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing (other than a Competitive Borrowing), in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days' prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Borrowing without the prior written consent of the relevant Lender. (b) In the event of any termination of the Commitments, the Borrower shall repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings on the date of such termination. In the event of any partial reduction of the Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and (ii) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the available Total Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 21 (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.15 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. SECTION 2.13. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this Agreement the adoption of, or any change in, applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline (whether such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has been adopted) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company (including the calculation thereof) as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Lender shall be entitled to demand compensation hereunder in respect of any Competitive Loan if it shall have been aware of the event or 22 circumstance giving rise to such demand at the time it submitted the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made. SECTION 2.14. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon such Lender shall not submit a Competitive Bid in response to a request for a Eurodollar Competitive Loan and any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be); and (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. SECTION 2.15. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, that results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Fixed Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor or (iii) any Fixed Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.11) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this sentence being called a "Breakage Event"). In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason 23 of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.16. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided in the two succeeding sentences with respect to Competitive Borrowings and as required under Section 2.14, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each continuation or conversion of any Borrowing to a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each payment of principal of any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For purposes of determining the available Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders that shall not have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Revolving Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in Revolving Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Revolving Loans prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Revolving Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Revolving Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 2.18. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without defense, setoff or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York. 24 (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. SECTION 2.19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.18, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity a "Transferee")) and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, being called "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement ("Other Taxes"). (c) The Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or Transferee), or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. (d) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or Transferee) receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. 25 (e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof. (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder. (g) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19(g), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.19(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. (h) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed under applicable laws and regulations on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this paragraph (h) shall not apply (x) to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower and (y) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this paragraph (h)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g) above. (i) Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any Lender (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary). 26 SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.14 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15); provided further that if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender's claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or notice under Section 2.14 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.14, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.19, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.13 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.14 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.19 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. (b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.14 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.19, then, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.13 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.14 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing, assignment, delegation and transfer. ARTICLE III Representations And Warranties To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that: SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Borrower and each of the Significant Subsidiaries (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and (c) is qualified to do 27 business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to borrow hereunder. Schedule 3.01 sets forth each Significant Subsidiary of the Borrower in existence on the Closing Date. SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the borrowings hereunder (collectively, the "Transactions") (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary, (B) any order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any material provision of any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound, (ii) be in material conflict with, result in a material breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under any such material indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary. SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms. SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except those which have been made or obtained. SECTION 3.05. Financial Statements. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period and were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and September 29, 2002, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended on such dates, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as disclosed therein). Such financial statements and the notes thereto, and Schedule 3.05, when taken together, disclose all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof. SECTION 3.06. No Material Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2001. SECTION 3.07. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.07, there are not any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental 28 Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any business, property or rights of any such person (i) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (b) None of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective material properties or assets is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law, rule or regulation, or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority (including any of the foregoing relating to the environment), where such violation or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.08. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or X. Margin Stocks do not constitute 25% or more of the fair market value of the assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries subject to the restrictions of Section 6.01. SECTION 3.09. Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is (a) an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. SECTION 3.10. Tax Returns. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and all material state, local and foreign tax returns or materials required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable by it on such returns and all assessments received by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. SECTION 3.11. No Material Misstatements. Neither (a) the Confidential Information Memorandum nor (b) any other information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or included herein or delivered pursuant hereto contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not misleading; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule. SECTION 3.12. Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be 29 expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all benefit liabilities under all Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto before the Closing Date, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all Plans as of such date, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto before the Closing Date, exceed by more than $280 million the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans as of such dates. SECTION 3.13. No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. SECTION 3.14. Ownership of Property; Liens; Insurance. The Borrower and each of its Significant Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.01. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries maintains with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all its property in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business, provided that nothing in this Section 3.14 shall preclude the Borrower or any Subsidiary from being self-insured (to the extent deemed prudent by the Borrower or such Subsidiary and customary with companies in the same or similar business). SECTION 3.15. Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, is licensed to use or otherwise has the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except where the failure of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to have any such rights has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no material claim that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if adversely decided, has been asserted and is currently active and pending by any person (i) alleging that the business of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries as currently conducted infringes the Intellectual Property rights of a third party or (ii) challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Except for such activities as may be subject to authorization and consent pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1498 or substantially equivalent law or regulation, to the Borrower's knowledge, the operation of the businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted do not infringe any valid and enforceable Intellectual Property rights of any third party where a finding of such infringement would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.16. Labor Matters.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereunder, all the Lenders) and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of 41 legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder. Each Lender further acknowledges that (i) 42 the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents have no duties or obligations as such under this Agreement and (ii) with respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Syndication Agent and each Documentation Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Syndication Agent and each Documentation Agent in its individual capacity. ARTICLE IX Guarantee In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit hereunder and in consideration therefor, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, or, except as specifically provided therein, by any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person. The obligations of either Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of either Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of either Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of either Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. Each Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against either Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and 43 will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in immediately available Dollars the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in the paragraph below). Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that either Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the following paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of either Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. Upon payment by either Guarantor of any sums as provided above, all rights of either Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations.

Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, (x) the Administrative Agent and (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Borrower must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (y) unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree to a lower dollar amount, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment), unless such Lender is making a substantially simultaneous assignment to the same assignee pursuant to Section 10.04(b) of the Five-Year Credit Agreement in which case the aggregate of the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to the assignment under this Agreement and the amount of the commitment of the assigning Lender subject to the assignment under the Five-Year Credit Agreement shall not be less than $10,000,000, (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 10.05, as well as to 45 any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any assignment by a Lender of rights and/or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and/or obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04. (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans and Competitive Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary, and such entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). 46 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 (and shall have the duty to mitigate under Section 2.20) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (provided, that unless such participation was consented to by the Borrower, each participating bank or other entity shall only be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 to the same extent as its participating Lender) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans or increasing or extending the Commitments). (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, "Company Private" or "Proprietary", each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16. (h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder. (i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC") of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.03(e), provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender (and, if such Loan is a Competitive Loan, shall be deemed to utilize the Commitments of all the Lenders) to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with 47 the related Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or in Section 10.16, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and the Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, counsel for the Agents and (ii) to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, either Arranger or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, counsel for the Agents, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the allocated charges of in-house counsel) for any Agent or any Lender. The Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse out-of-pocket legal expenses pursuant to the preceding sentence for more than one law firm for the Agents incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement or in connection with any particular amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof. (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Arranger and each Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. (c) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 48 SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 10.07. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or the payment of any Facility Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Facility Fees or Utilization Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) except in accordance with Section 10.17, reduce or terminate the obligations of either Guarantor, without the prior written consent of each Lender or (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.16, the provisions of Section 10.04(i), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term "Required Lenders", without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest 49 thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Fee Letter constitute the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11. SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

     prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
     jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
     unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
     any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
     invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
     jurisdiction. The section and subsection headings used in this Amendment

          10. Continuing Effect of Other Documents. This Amendment shall not
     constitute an amendment or waiver of any other provision of the Credit
     Agreement not expressly referred to herein and shall not be construed as a
     waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of the
     Borrower that would require a waiver or consent of the Lenders or the
     Administrative Agent. Except as expressly amended, modified and
     supplemented hereby, the provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall
     remain in full force and effect.

                              SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

                THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the
23rd day of January, 2002, by and among Raytheon Company, a company incorporated
under the laws of the state of Delaware ("Raytheon"). Raytheon Engineers &
Constructors International, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the
state of Delaware ("RECI," and, together with Raytheon and its wholly-owned or
controlled subsidiaries and affiliates, the "Raytheon Parties"), Washington

WGI, and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries and affiliates, and
including the Reorganized Debtors, the "WGI Parties") and the Official Unsecured
Creditors' Committee, for so long as it is constituted and acting in the
Bankruptcy Case (each of the Raytheon Parties, the WGI Parties and the Committee
being referred to as a "Party" and collectively as "Parties"). Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
Appendix I to this Agreement.

                WHEREAS, WGI and certain other WGI Parties commenced cases under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on May 14, 2001 (the "Bankruptcy Case"); and

                WHEREAS, Raytheon, RECI and WGI are parties to a Stock Purchase
Agreement by and among Raytheon, RECI and WGI (f/k/a Morrison Knudsen
Corporation), dated as of April 14, 2000 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"): and

                WHEREAS, pursuant to certain orders of this Court, the Stock
Purchase Agreement and the various agreements executed and delivered pursuant

various claims against one or more of the Debtors, as the term "claim" is
defined in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Estate Claims"); and

                                1



                WHEREAS, Raytheon and certain other Raytheon Parties have
provided surety bonds, letters of credit, guarantees, or similar credit support
arrangements, including substitutions thereof or replacements therefor (each a
"Support Agreement" and collectively the "Support Agreements") in favor of third
parties for the benefit of certain of the companies transferred by RECI pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement; and

                WHEREAS, various pending and potential disputes, claims,
controversies, adversary proceedings, and lawsuits by and among the Debtors, the
Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, and certain Raytheon Parties in the Bankruptcy Case,
and in other jurisdictions, have arisen or could potentially arise from or in
connection with the negotiation, disclosures, omissions, execution and delivery,
performance or non-performance of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Support
Agreements, and the transactions and agreements that are the subject thereof or
are contemplated thereby (but expressly excluding the Excluded Matters)
(collectively, the "Raytheon Disputes"); and

                WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Debtor WGI, as a

Disputes and the objection of certain Raytheon Parties to the Plan on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

                NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual
agreements and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of all of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.      RAYTHEON ASSERTED CLAIMS

                Section 1.1 Allowance and Discharge in Full. Under the Plan, the
Raytheon Asserted Claims shall be allowed as filed (without prejudice to Estate
Claims filed by other creditors) and shall be discharged in their entirety. The
Raytheon Parties, however, hereby waive and release to the Estates any
distribution under the Plan on account of the Raytheon Asserted Claims.

                                        2



                Section 1.2 Retention of Rights by Raytheon. Notwithstanding
Section 1.1, the following claims and rights of the Raytheon Parties are
specifically acknowledged, preserved, and not discharged under the Plan or
pursuant to the Confirmation Order:

                (a)     Administrative Claims under section 503 of the
Bankruptcy Code (net of post-petition claims for goods and services provided
pre-Effective Date by the Debtors to the Raytheon Parties) to the extent agreed
upon by the Raytheon Parties, the Debtors and the Committee, or as allowed by
the Bankruptcy Court;

                (b)     Rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation
against any of the WGI Parties under outstanding Support Agreements with respect
to assumed projects (and the Hudson-Bergen project) or contracts (collectively,
and including the Hudson-Bergen project, the "Assumed Projects," it being
understood that the Assumed Projects do not include those contracts being
assumed in connection with the Ilijan Project Completion Agreements or being
assumed and assigned in connection with the Ilijan or Red Oak Project Completion
Agreements, or that will be governed by any of such agreements);

                (c)     Rights under the Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement,
which WGI has assumed under the Plan;

                (d)     Rights arising or expressly reserved pursuant to this
Agreement or the specific agreements described in and entered into in connection
with, or contemplated by, this Agreement; and

                (e)     Rights arising under the other agreements listed on
Schedules A1 or A2 to the form of Mutual Release attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit A.

                Section 1.3 Assigned Claims. The Assigned Claims as defined and
described in Appendix I attached to this Agreement are not released, settled or
affected by this Agreement, and Raytheon may receive distributions as the holder
of a Class 7 Claim under the Plan with respect thereto. The Debtors and the
Committee reserve all rights to object to the Assigned Claims.

                Section 1.4 Evidentiary Impact. Nothing with respect to the
allowance or treatment of Raytheon's proofs of claim shall have res judicata or
collateral estoppel effect or be admissible in evidence, in each case with
respect to the rights of any third party, including but not limited to
Mitsubishi (as defined in Section 2.2

                                        3



below), against, by or with respect to, Raytheon or with respect to the rights
of Raytheon against, by or with respect to any third party, including
Mitsubishi.

2.      RAYTHEON SUBROGATION CLAIMS

                Section 2.1 Raytheon Parties' Rights in Respect of Support
Agreements. The Confirmation Order provides, and the WGI Parties and the
Committee agree, that the discharge, release, and injunction provisions
contained in this Agreement do not affect the claims and rights of the Raytheon
Parties against or relating to third parties (but not the Debtors as to
pre-petition matters) as to any suretyship, subrogation, or other rights in
respect of any Support Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Raytheon
Parties shall not receive or retain any distribution under the Plan on account
of subrogation to, or based upon an assignment of, a Class 7 Claim, and the
Raytheon Parties hereby waive and release any distributions under the Plan on
account of the claims and rights of the Raytheon Parties, whether known or
unknown, based upon suretyship, subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or
indemnity, except, in both cases, as provided in Sections 1.3 above or 2.2
below.

                Section 2.2 Rights Under Section 509 of Bankruptcy Code. The
rights, if any, of the Raytheon Parties under section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code
to be subrogated to rights of Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries of America, Inc., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., or their
affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, "Mitsubishi") in respect of payments
made by the Raytheon Parties to Mitsubishi under a Support Agreement are hereby
preserved; provided, however, that (a) the amount of Mitsubishi's Estate Claim
as to which the Raytheon Parties may be subrogated shall not exceed or expand
the amount of $217.5 million (the "Mitsubishi Allowed Claim"), (b) if any
portion of the Mitsubishi Allowed Claim becomes an Assigned Claim, the amount of
such Assigned Claim shall be limited to $100 million, (c) the aggregate amount
of Raytheon's subrogation rights with respect to the Mitsubishi Allowed Claim,
plus other amounts with respect to which distributions under the Plan are made
to Mitsubishi, shall not exceed in the aggregate the Mitsubishi Allowed Claim
(with any allocation to be as may be agreed by Raytheon and Mitsubishi or,
failing such agreement, as the Bankruptcy Court may determine), and (d) the
amount, extent and nature of the Raytheon Parties' rights under section 509 of
the Bankruptcy Code shall be as agreed among Mitsubishi, Raytheon, the Committee
and the Debtors, or failing such agreement, as the Bankruptcy Court may
determine.

                                        4



3.      FUTURE OBLIGATIONS UNDER ASSUMED PROJECTS SUPPORT AGREEMENTS.

                Section 3.1 Rights of Raytheon Parties. The WGI Parties agree to
take, and to cause their subsidiaries and affiliates to take, reasonable and
necessary actions to protect the Raytheon Parties against possible future
exposure under the Support Agreements relating to Assumed Projects (the "Assumed
Projects Support Agreements"). The Raytheon Parties shall have, and are hereby
granted, rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation against the WGI
Parties under outstanding Assumed Projects Support Agreements, and all such
rights are hereby expressly acknowledged and recognized and have been so
acknowledged and recognized under the Plan and the Confirmation Order.

                Section 3.2 Joint and Several Obligation: Standby Letter of
Credit. Each of the WGI Parties (excluding WILLC), jointly and severally, hereby
agrees to pay and satisfy their obligations to each of the Raytheon Parties for
any and all obligations, payments or liabilities of such Raytheon Party under
any of the Assumed Projects Support Agreements. Each of the Assumed Projects
Support Agreements, and all obligations arising thereunder shall be, and hereby
are agreed to constitute, the joint and several obligation of each of the
Reorganized Debtors (excluding WILLC) and the obligations thereunder will be
supported by an irrevocable standby letter of credit to be provided by, and for
the account of, the Debtors for the benefit of the Raytheon Parties in the
maximum drawing amount of $10,000,000 (the "Raytheon LOC," the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit B). The Raytheon LOC will cover first dollar exposure
for the Assumed Projects Support Agreements, be drawable in accordance with the
terms set forth on Exhibit C hereto and remain in place and available for so
long as, but only to the extent that, any obligation under any Assumed Projects
Support Agreement is in effect.

4.      PENDING LITIGATION

                Section 4.1 Suspension and Dismissal with Prejudice. All pending
litigation pursued by one or more of the Parties against one or more of the
other Parties was suspended on November 8, 2001, and will be dismissed with
prejudice on the Effective Date. Such litigation includes (a) the Raytheon
Actions (including the Idaho Litigation, the purchase price adjustment process
and the American Arbitration Association arbitration matter), and (b) the
Debtors' pending fraudulent transfer adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy
Case.

                Section 4.2 Certain Raytheon Actions. The applicable Raytheon
Parties and WGI Parties agree jointly to withdraw, on or before the Effective
Date, the American Arbitration Association arbitration demand and any related
filings and dismiss those aspects of the Raytheon Actions, without any further
consideration

                                        5



except for the exchange of mutual releases, and each such Party agrees to bear
its own costs in connection with the foregoing.

                Section 4.3 Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent
Accounting Firm appointed by the court in the Raytheon Actions has been
instructed by WGI and Raytheon to stop work in connection with the purchase
price adjustment, and Raytheon and WGI agree to share equally the costs for the
Independent Accounting Firm through the cessation of work and each such Party to
bear its own costs.

5.      PROJECT SERVICES

                Section 5.1 Assumed Projects. (a) The WGI Parties agree to
provide the Raytheon Parties with (i) on a commercially reasonable efforts
basis, monthly project reports on each Assumed Project to the extent provided to
owners and other clients with respect to such Assumed Project, (ii) copies of
information actually provided to surety companies or WGI Parties' lenders, and
(iii) other mutually-agreed information (except to the extent the provision of
the items set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) is limited by contract or government
regulation, in which event the WGI Parties and the Raytheon Parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to satisfy any such limitation in
order to enable the Raytheon Parties to obtain such information). All
information provided by the WGI Parties under this Section 5.1 shall be subject
to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 7.4.

                (b)     In the event that any of the WGI Parties or Raytheon
Parties learns of a threatened or pending claim against an Assumed Projects
Support Agreement, WGI shall promptly notify Raytheon (if a WGI Party learns of
it) and Raytheon shall promptly notify WGI (if a Raytheon Party learns of it)
and WGI agrees to provide Raytheon with reasonable access to the WGI Parties'
books, records and personnel on the same basis as provided elsewhere in this
Section 5 and Section 8.13.

                Section 5.2 Projects with Existing Separate Agreements. For the
Sithe Fore River, Sithe Mystic, Red Oak, Puerto Plata, and Ilijan projects
(collectively, the "Separate Projects"), any services to be provided by the WGI
Parties shall be in accordance with the Separate Agreements, which already have
been agreed to.

                Section 5.3 Services Agreement for Certain Projects. The
Saltend, Damhead, Jindal, Posven, Ratchaburi, Tallahassee, Acme, Ezhou, Egypt
Electric, UCH and NACIC projects, together with any and all other projects or
contracts (but

                                        6



excluding the Separate Projects) rejected by any of the WGI Parties with respect
to which any Raytheon Party has provided a Support Agreement where there may
need to be further physical work or other routine project closeout activities,
and the Clear Alaska project, shall be the subject of the Services Agreement.

                Section 5.4 Third Party Litigation and Claims Support for All
Projects/Contracts with Respect to which Project Claims Against Raytheon Are
Threatened or Asserted.

                (a)     Application. The Services Agreement shall govern the
provision of litigation and claim-related support that falls within the scope of
Completion Services. The Separate Agreements shall govern the provision of
litigation and claim-related support that falls within the scope of services
required to be provided pursuant to the Separate Agreements. Except to the
extent governed by the Services Agreement or Separate Agreements as described
above, this Section 5.4 shall describe, and shall apply to, litigation and
claims (collectively, the "Project Claims") that fall within one or more of the
following categories: (i) litigation or claims that relate to any contract or
project rejected by any of the Debtors in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to
section 365 or 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Rejected Projects"); (ii)
litigation or claims that relate to projects or contracts neither rejected nor
assumed by any WGI Party in the Bankruptcy Case and where such litigation or
claims are asserted against any Raytheon Party or under or with respect to a
Support Agreement; (iii) litigation or claims that involve an Assumed Project as
to which any WGI Party has breached and failed to cure its payment or
reimbursement obligations relating to the applicable Support Agreement relating
to such Assumed Project as required under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 6.1(b) (a
"Breached Assumed Project"); or (iv) litigation or claims that involve an
Assumed Project as to which a claim is asserted against a Raytheon Party,
whether or not such claim is asserted under or with respect to a Support
Agreement or any of the contracts relating to such Assumed Project assumed by
the WGI Parties.

                (b)     General Assistance. (i) At Raytheon's request, the WGI
Parties shall provide the Raytheon Parties with support in asserting or
defending actual or threatened Project Claims or litigation or proceedings
(including arbitration) in any forum in which any Project Claim is being
asserted, defended, or resolved (collectively, the "Project Claims Litigation")
involving third parties arising (A) under any contract relating to a Rejected
Project, or (B) in respect of (I) Project Claims also asserted or threatened to
be asserted against any of the Raytheon Parties or under or with respect to a
Support Agreement, or (II) in connection with a Breached Assumed Project, claims
asserted or threatened against any of the

                                        7



Raytheon Parties or under or with respect to a Support Agreement (the matters
described in the foregoing paragraphs (A) and (B) are collectively referred to
as "Project Claim Matters"). The WGI Parties agree that they will diligently and
in good faith provide documentation, information, access, and access to (but not
use of) personnel reasonably requested by the Raytheon Parties in connection
with any Project Claim Matters, which information, documentation and access also
shall be available to the Committee.

                        (ii)  Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it shall be deemed reasonable for Raytheon to request to meet with
witnesses who are WGI Party personnel in advance of any testimony they may be
asked or required to give at a deposition or hearing of any sort and to have
them travel to the location of any hearing; provided that WGI Party personnel
shall not be required to provide any in-country support or services in Pakistan
or any other foreign country in connection with any project unless (A) WGI is
reasonably satisfied regarding safety and security in Pakistan or such other
foreign country and (B) in the case of Pakistan only, WGI is satisfied in its
sole and absolute discretion regarding its exposure to legal liability to
judgments or other legal process. In the event that WGI is not reasonably
satisfied regarding safety or security in Pakistan or such other foreign
country, WGI shall notify Raytheon of such concerns and the WGI Parties and the
Raytheon Parties shall meet to discuss such concerns and, acting in good faith,
to enter into alternative arrangements.

                        (iii) Each of the WGI Parties hereby represents and
warrants that, other than in connection with settlements with Raytheon or
Mitsubishi or other settlements presented to and approved by the Bankruptcy
Court (after notice to Raytheon and the Committee), since November 8, 2001 to
the date of this Agreement, the WGI Parties have not compromised or settled any
Estate Claim, Project Claim, or Project Claim Litigation involving a matter
referred to in this Section 5.4 without obtaining, in addition to any other
required consent, the consent of Raytheon and the Committee.

                        (iv)  Except in the case of a Breached Assumed Project,
Raytheon agrees to compensate the WGI Parties for the support provided pursuant
to this paragraph (b) on the same basis of Allowable Costs plus a 7.5% fee, as
provided in the Services Agreement with respect to Completion Services.

                (c)     Notice. If any of the WGI Parties receives any writing
in which a claim is asserted or threatened against any of the WGI Parties either
(i) in connection with any project with respect to which a Support Agreement
exists or (ii)

                                        8



with respect to which any of the Raytheon Parties is alleged to have, or any WGI
Party has a reasonable basis for knowing such Raytheon Party has, financial
exposure based upon the existence or terms of a Support Agreement or any other
agreement or legal theory ("Possible Project Claim"), the WGI Parties agree to
provide Raytheon with prompt notice of the claim. If a claim is asserted or
threatened against any of the WGI Parties that constitutes or relates to a
Possible Project Claim or an Estate Claim, WGI agrees to provide the Committee
with prompt notice of such claim.

                (d)     Additional Obligations. In addition to the general
assistance obligations under paragraph (b) above and the notice obligations
under paragraph (c) above:

                        (i)   with respect to (A) a Rejected Project Claim, (B)
any Project Claim Matter (other than a Rejected Project Claim) or any Possible
Project Claim or Project Claim Litigation, in each case as to which both WGI
and the Committee indicate that they do not have a material interest, or (C) a
claim arising in connection with a Breached Assumed Project (collectively,
"Raytheon Controllable Claims"), then in each such case, upon Raytheon's written
request, the applicable WGI Parties and the Committee agree to permit Raytheon
or the applicable Raytheon Party to direct the response to the claim and any
related litigation, including without limitation, asserting counterclaims
including those that preserve the WGI Parties' recoupment or set-off rights,
control the process and receive any resulting proceeds (subject to the
provisions of Section 5.5(b) below), provided that, in the case of Raytheon
Controllable Claims of the types described in paragraphs (A) or (B) above,
Raytheon pays all of the defense and other litigation costs in connection
therewith.

                        (ii)  To the extent that Raytheon requests any of the
WGI  Parties or the Committee, as applicable, to pursue any Rejected Project
Claim or any other affirmative claim of a WGI Party relating to a Project Claim
in one or more of the WGI Parties' own name, and the relevant WGI Parties
reasonably determine that the pursuit of such matter in its own name would have
a material adverse impact on an existing or potential customer, supplier,
subcontractor or other material business relationship, then, subject to the
following proviso, the WGI Parties shall not be required to pursue such claim in
their own name, but will assign such claim to Raytheon or RECI or their
designees; provided that (I) such an assignment would be legally effective and
(II) Raytheon determines that the assignment of such claim or the failure of the
WGI Parties to pursue the claim in their own name will not adversely affect the
pursuit of such claim or other matter related in any way to that claim,
including the defense of any claims or counterclaims relating to the same

                                        9



project or expose any Raytheon Party to liabilities or damages for which it is
not otherwise exposed or liable. In the event of any such assignment, the WGI
Parties will provide documentation, information, access and access to, and use
of, personnel reasonably requested by Raytheon to provide claim analysis and
investigation and other background support, and Raytheon otherwise will have the
claim and litigation support provided under this Agreement. In the event that
any claim is not assigned due to a failure to meet either of the conditions in
the proviso in the second preceding sentence, the relevant WGI Parties will
pursue the applicable matter in their own name, but, in the event that the
condition referred to in subclause II of such proviso is not met, the Raytheon
Parties and WGI Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure
such pursuit in a manner that mitigates to the extent reasonably possible any
material adverse effect on the WGI Parties' business relationships while not
adversely affecting the pursuit or defense of such claim.

                        (iii) For any Project Claim Matters not addressed in
Section 5.4(d)(i) or in the event that Raytheon makes a reasonable determination
that any Raytheon Party is or may be exposed to liability under a Support
Agreement or any other agreement or legal theory related to a Project Claim
Matter that is not a Raytheon Controllable Claim (collectively, "Joint Defense
Claims"), upon Raytheon's reasonable request, the applicable WGI Parties, and,
if the exposure is related to an existing Estate Claim or may give rise to an
Estate Claim, the Committee, and Raytheon shall enter into mutual defense
arrangements, to be agreed upon in good faith. Those arrangements shall be
appropriate under the circumstances of the particular Joint Defense Claim and,
to the extent appropriate, each of the affected Parties will agree to (A)
provide each other with all pleadings and notices in connection with such Joint
Defense Claim, (B) provide each other with access to all relevant or related
records and documents, (C) recognize the joint defense and common interest
privilege between the affected Parties and their affiliates, (D) confer with
each other prior to filing dispositive pleadings, making offers to settle or
other major events, and (E) allow each other privileged access to relevant
defense counsel. The WGI Parties and the Committee also acknowledge the right of
Raytheon or another applicable Raytheon Party to intervene in its own name. In
the event that any such Joint Defense Claim thereafter becomes a Raytheon
Controllable Claim, the provisions of Section 5.4(d)(i) shall apply.

                        (iv)  Upon Raytheon's reasonable request, the WGI
Parties and the Committee agree to cooperate with Raytheon and provide
reasonable cooperation and support to Raytheon in responding to the Project
Claims, Project Claim Litigation, Project Claim Matters, and Possible Project
Claims to assist the Raytheon Parties in mitigating any exposure and risk they
may have; provided,

                                       10



however, in no event shall any WGI Party or the Committee be required to provide
legal services to Raytheon. Raytheon shall be permitted to use counsel
previously involved in the matter, and all Parties agree to waive any conflict.

                (e)     Costs, Budgeting, Etc. With respect to any provision of
Section 5.4(d) that provides that the WGI Parties will provide services, except
with respect to a Breached Support Agreement, Raytheon will reimburse or
otherwise be responsible for the WGI Parties' costs in providing support
pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) and such costs shall be based on Allowable
Costs, including Allowable Costs of in-house counsel and administrative
personnel, plus a fee of 7.5%. To the extent practicable, prior to the WGI
Parties incurring any costs, Raytheon and WGI will prepare and agree upon a
proposed scope description of the services to be provided and budget and
reconciliation, payment and audit procedures, similar to the procedures
contemplated by Section 2(d) of the Services Agreement.

                (f)     Without in any way limiting the generality or scope of
Section 8.10, nothing in this Section 5.4 is intended to, nor does it, in any
way (i) benefit or create any rights or benefits for any Person that is not a
signatory to this Agreement, or (ii) establish, or constitute an assumption of,
any liabilities, duties, or obligations to, any Person not a signatory to this
Agreement.

                Section 5.5 Raytheon Parties' Rights to Rejected Project Claims,
Etc. (a) The Raytheon Parties shall have the benefit of and be able to pursue or
settle rights and claims of the WGI Parties in connection with Rejected Projects
against customers, project owners, contractors, subcontractors, vendors and
other third parties ("Rejected Project Claims"), subject to such parties' rights
and defenses, if any, to such Rejected Project Claims. In addition, Raytheon or
another applicable Raytheon Party may elect to control the process in the same
manner as provided in Section 5.4 with respect to Raytheon Controllable Claims
or may elect to control the process in the same manner as provided in Section
5.6 with respect to Estate Claims, as applicable, and receive any resulting
proceeds, in each case with respect to Rejected Projects, subject to the
provisions of paragraph (b) below. The WGI Parties and Raytheon agree that as
part of the defense of any related Raytheon Controllable Claims and pursuit of
Rejected Project Claims, any contract balances and affirmative claims of the WGI
Parties, including without limitation the rights in the equity of Posven C.A.
(and the WGI Parties agree within fifteen (15) days of a written request
therefore, to provide Raytheon or its designee with the stock certificate(s) or
other evidence of such equity), against project owners, customers, or others
will be used first in respect of each such defense or pursuit to compromise,
reduce or eliminate such Estate Claim or claim of a specific owner or any other
specific third party in

                                       11



connection with that specific Estate Claim or claim asserted, respectively,
against the WGI Parties or against the Raytheon Parties. As part of the Rejected
Project Claims, assets or proceeds from whatever source claimed from third
parties related to the Rejected Projects shall belong and be paid over directly
to Raytheon or another applicable Raytheon Party, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (b) below. Raytheon shall endeavor in good faith to avoid prejudice to
existing rights and claims, if any, of the Reorganized Debtors with respect to
such projects and upon request shall give reasonable notice to WGI and the
Committee of the status and results of such legal action. With respect to any
Rejected Project Claims being pursued by Raytheon directly in the name of the
WGI Parties, Raytheon shall provide periodic updates to WGI and the Committee
and, if WGI provides notice to Raytheon and the Committee that WGI or the
Committee has a concern about specified Rejected Project Claims, (i) Raytheon
shall provide to WGI and the Committee reasonable periodic information regarding
the case, (ii) before deciding to abandon the pursuit of the particular Rejected
Project Claim, so advise WGI and the Committee and permit WGI or the Committee,
as appropriate, to take over the Rejected Project Claim for its own account and
(iii) Raytheon will not obtain (or retain) an affirmative recovery for its own
account (by settlement or otherwise) if the opposing party in the case retains
an Estate Claim or an affirmative claim against the Reorganized Debtors.

                (b)     In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph
(a), with respect to each of the Rejected Projects, other than the Designated
Projects and except as otherwise provided in the Ilijan Project Completion
Agreements and the Red Oak Project Completion Agreement, to the extent that
after first paying or discharging obligations due to and related costs incurred
by the Raytheon Parties under the related Support Agreement or the Services
Agreement and in pursuing Rejected Project Claims relating to that Rejected
Project, there remain Net Proceeds from Rejected Project Claims in connection
with that Rejected Project, Raytheon shall provide written notice thereof to WGI
and the Committee and shall pay over the amount of such excess to WGI, which is
entitled to such excess. With respect to the Designated Projects, however,
Raytheon or another applicable Raytheon Party shall be entitled to all assets,
claims and recoveries, if any.

                (c)     Without in any way limiting the generality or scope of
Section 8.10, nothing in this Section 5.5 is intended to, nor does it in any way
(i) benefit or create any rights or benefits for any Person that is not a
signatory to this Agreement, or (ii) establish, or constitute an assumption of,
any liabilities, duties, or obligations to, any Person not a signatory to this
Agreement.

                                       12



                Section 5.6 Claims Allowance Process. This Section 5.6 shall
apply to all Estate Claims being allowed, disputed, or resolved in whole or in
part in the Bankruptcy Court or in an alternative forum to which the Bankruptcy
Court has ceded jurisdiction by an order entered in the Bankruptcy Case that was
not sought by the Committee ("Alternative Forum") with respect to matters
involving or otherwise related to any Raytheon Party or any Project Claim with
respect to which any Raytheon Party (a) has any actual or potential liability,
(b) is entitled to pursue a recovery in respect of such Project Claim in
accordance with this Agreement or (c) otherwise has any pecuniary interest in or
with respect to such Estate Claim (a "Raytheon Related Estate Claim").

                (a)     The Raytheon Parties, the WGI Parties and the Committee
agree to cooperate in the development and implementation of a process for the
resolution of Estate Claims generally and Raytheon Related Estate Claims in
particular in the Bankruptcy Case (the "Claims Allowance Process").

                (b)     The Raytheon Parties may initiate or seek to intervene
or otherwise participate as parties in a Claims Allowance Process matter with
respect to particular Raytheon Related Estate Claims. The WGI Parties and the
Committee agree to support that participation, in a manner consistent with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, so long as such intervention or
participation would not unduly delay the adjudication of the rights of the
original parties, and further agree to permit Raytheon to control the
litigation, arbitration or other determination of the Raytheon Related Estate
Claims, including, without limitation, the assertion of counterclaims or the
right of setoff or recoupment, as appropriate; provided however that the
Committee, as provided in the Plan, may settle or compromise a Raytheon Related
Estate Claim as long as such settlement or compromise does not determine or
adversely affect the liability, if any, of the Raytheon Parties with respect to
such Raytheon Related Estate Claim and as long as such settlement or compromise
does not require any payment by a Raytheon Party. If the Bankruptcy Court or the
court or panel in such Alternative Forum permits the Raytheon Parties to so
intervene or otherwise participate as a party with respect to a particular
Raytheon Related Estate Claim, the Committee or Raytheon may seek a
determination from the Bankruptcy Court of the obligations, if any, of the
Raytheon Parties to a Person with respect to such Raytheon Related Estate Claim
that is based upon such party's rights under a Support Agreement and the
Raytheon Parties (i) may seek a ruling that their obligations, if any, should
not be so determined on any ground other than lack of personal jurisdiction over
the Raytheon Parties or improper venue, and/or (ii) may oppose the relief sought
on the merits.

                                       13



                (c)     The Raytheon Parties, rather than seeking to intervene
or otherwise participate as a party, may request in a writing that refers to
this Section 5.6 that the WGI Parties and/or the Committee permit the Raytheon
Parties to direct their actions as to a particular Raytheon Related Estate Claim
(including with respect to settlement and allowance of the Raytheon Related
Estate Claim), including, without limitation, the assertion of counterclaims or
the right of setoff or recoupment, as appropriate, provided that the Raytheon
Parties agree to reimburse all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses associated
with their doing so. The WGI Parties and the Committee agree to comply with such
request and to follow such direction from the Raytheon Parties; provided,
however, that the Committee, as provided in the Plan, may settle or compromise a
Raytheon Related Estate Claim as long as such settlement or compromise does not
determine or adversely affect the liability, if any, of the Raytheon Parties
with respect to such Raytheon Related Estate Claim and as long as such
settlement or compromise does not require any payment by a Raytheon Party.

                (d)     Except as, but only to the extent, expressly provided
herein, the Estates and the Committee acting on behalf of the Estates reserve
their rights, if any, under applicable law or procedural rules to seek an order
joining one or more Raytheon Parties in any matter, proceeding or other civil
action (including arbitration) in the Claims Allowance Process with respect to a
particular Raytheon Related Estate Claim and to request a determination by the
Bankruptcy Court of the obligations, if any, of the Raytheon Parties to the
Person or Persons asserting such Raytheon Related Estate Claim under a Support
Agreement or other agreement or legal theory. Except as, but only to the extent,
expressly provided herein, the Raytheon Parties reserve their rights, if any, to
oppose any such motion, request or action on any grounds under applicable law or
procedural rules. The Parties intend and agree that nothing in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, this Section 5.6, is intended to, or does,
suggest the existence or validity of any rights or expand, restrict, or in any
way affect or influence the nature, existence, or validity of any of the rights,
if any, reserved under this Section 5.6(d).

                (e)     In the event that in the Claims Allowance Process in the
Bankruptcy Court or an Alternative Forum, the Raytheon Parties (i) initiate,
intervene or participate as a party in the determination of a Raytheon Related
Estate Claim as provided in paragraph (b) above, or (ii) elect to direct the
litigation, arbitration or other determination of a Raytheon Related Estate
Claim as provided in paragraph (c) above, and (x) in each case, the WGI Parties
and the Committee have permitted the Raytheon Parties to control the defense of
the Raytheon Related Estate Claim, and (y) if, but only if, the Bankruptcy Court
or the Court or panel in that

                                       14



Alternative Forum, after having afforded the Raytheon Parties a full and fair
opportunity to be heard, should determine in a Final Order that one or more
Raytheon Parties are liable under a Support Agreement to the Person asserting
the Raytheon Related Estate Claim, then the Raytheon Parties will pay or
otherwise resolve their liability to such Person, which payment shall extinguish
the liability of both the Estate for such Raytheon Related Estate Claim and the
Raytheon Parties for such Raytheon Related Estate Claim. Subject to the provisos
contained in paragraphs (b) and (c), no settlement of any Raytheon Related
Estate Claim that is referred to in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above shall be agreed
to or supported by the WGI Parties or the Committee without the consent of
Raytheon, if the settlement contemplates any payment by, or could have an
adverse economic consequence for, any Raytheon Party.

                (f)     The WGI Parties agree that they will provide assistance
in the Claims Allowance Process to Raytheon if Raytheon initiates, intervenes or
otherwise participates as a party in a Claims Allowance Process matter,
including the furnishing of documentation, information, financial data,
reasonable access to personnel, and reasonable access to WGI's counsel and other
professionals, and, upon the request of the Committee, with Raytheon's consent,
the WGI Parties will provide all such assistance to the Committee as well. The
WGI Parties shall also provide to the Committee, at the Committee's request with
prior notice to Raytheon, assistance, documentation, information, financial
data, reasonable access to personnel, and reasonable access to WGI counsel and
other professionals, but, without Raytheon's consent, shall not provide the
Committee with any such information, financial data, access to personnel, WGI
counsel and other professionals that the WGI Parties would not be obligated to
provide to a third party pursuant to discovery under the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure. The Committee shall not voluntarily provide any non-public
information received pursuant to this Agreement to any third party unless
consented to by Raytheon and shall not use any assistance or information
provided to it by WGI in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement. Raytheon consents to the WGI Parties providing such information to
the Committee and agrees that doing so will not constitute a breach of the
confidentiality provisions or other information request provisions of this
Agreement (subject to any applicable protective order) and the Committee agrees
to observe the confidentiality obligations as though it were a WGI Party. Such
assistance will be furnished to the Committee by Reorganized WGI without charge.
The reimbursement of expenses, fees, and costs of the Committee are to be borne
by Reorganized WGI pursuant to the Plan. The Raytheon Parties will reimburse all
accrued but unpaid reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the WGI
Parties in providing the Raytheon Parties with the assistance, but only to the
extent such fees, costs and

                                       15



expenses exceed the amounts required to provide assistance to the Committee.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect or limit, or be deemed to be a
waiver of, the right, if any, of any Party to seek discovery, including
testimony and the production of documents in any matter, proceeding or other
civil action (including arbitration).

                (g)     The Parties agree that, without formally participating
in the resolution of a Raytheon Related Estate Claim as contemplated by
paragraph (b) or (c) above, and thereby making applicable the provisions of
paragraph (e) above, that (i) the Parties may consult with respect to any
Raytheon Related Estate Claim, Raytheon may be consulted respecting its views
and preferences and Raytheon may provide comments and suggestions with respect
to the resolution of any Raytheon Related Estate Claim, and (ii) the WGI Parties
and the Committee shall consult and confer with Raytheon with respect to any
Raytheon Related Estate Claim related in any way to a Project Claim.

                (h)     The determination of the amount of an Allowed Claim in
the Claims Allowance Process shall not expand, limit or alter the obligation of
the Raytheon Parties, if any, to make payments under a Support Agreement with
respect to such Raytheon Related Estate Claim. In no event, will the WGI Parties
or the Committee consent to the entry of an order fixing the amount of an
Allowed Class 7 Claim in an amount different from that with respect to which
distributions under the Plan are to be made to the holder of such Allowed Class
7 Claim.

                (i)     Except as, but only to the extent, expressly provided
herein the Raytheon Parties, the WGI Parties and the Committee agree that each
Party reserves its rights under applicable law and procedural rules in
connection with any specific matter, proceeding, or civil action (including
arbitration) and that no Party has agreed to create or waive rights in respect
of such law or rules or in favor of third parties under this Section 5.6.

                (j)     Without in any way limiting the generality or scope of
Section 8.10, nothing in this Section 5.6 is intended to, nor does it in any way
(i) benefit or create any rights or benefits for any Person that is not a
signatory to this Agreement, or (ii) establish, or constitute an assumption of,
any liabilities, duties, or obligations to, any Person not a signatory to this
Agreement.

                Section 5.7 PP9 Project. Raytheon and WGI acknowledge that both
the "Consortium Agreement" and the project agreements for the so-called "PP9
Project" are between certain WGI Parties and General Electric Company and its

                                       16



affiliates and are being assumed by the WGI Parties as part of the Bankruptcy
Case, while the project agreements for the Ratchaburi project were also between
certain WGI Parties and General Electric Company and its affiliates but were
rejected by the WGI Parties as part of the Bankruptcy Case, and agree that their
respective interests in the Ratchaburi project and the PP9 Project will be
independent from each other, with rights and obligations remaining separate
between the two projects, and benefits and burdens for each project will remain
with that project and the parties involved. Accordingly, nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to authorize Raytheon to settle or compromise any
claim relating to the PP9 Project or to receive or retain any amounts payable by
any third party with respect to such project, and nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to authorize any WGI Party to settle or compromise any claim
relating to the Ratchaburi project or to receive or retain any amounts payable
by any third party with respect to the Ratchaburi project.

6.      ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

                Section 6.1 Agreements Involving Assumed Projects Support
Agreements.

                (a)     Certain Support Agreements. The WGI Parties agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with their capabilities and
circumstances) to identify and replace Assumed Projects Support Agreements of
relatively long duration and/or that involve relatively little risk. WGI shall
endeavor in good faith to terminate the Support Agreements in connection with
Pine Bluff. WGI may consult with Raytheon from time to time concerning the
progress made with respect to any such releases, and Raytheon agrees to provide
reasonable assistance in such process. For purposes of this Section 6.1 only,
Gulf Chemical shall be an "Assumed Project."

                (b)     Reimbursement and Repayment. (i) With respect to Assumed
Projects Support Agreements, the WGI Parties agree to reimburse the applicable
Raytheon Party for all third-party premiums, payments and other carrying costs
of those Support Agreements, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of invoices
for these amounts. If a Raytheon Party is required to reimburse a letter of
credit issuer for any drawing under an Assumed Projects Support Agreement, or is
required to make any payment under an Assumed Projects Support Agreement that is
a guaranty or surety bond (other than carrying costs as provided above or to
reimburse the issuer of a surety bond under an indemnity agreement or
otherwise), then the WGI Parties agree to reimburse such Raytheon Party within
three (3) business days after receipt of Raytheon's demand for payment.

                                       17



                        (ii) The WGI Parties' payment and reimbursement
obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Section 6, as among each of the
WGI Parties (but excluding WILLC), is a joint and several obligation and shall
not be subject to any right of set-off or defense to payment that otherwise
might be available. Each of the WGI Parties (but excluding WILLC), jointly and
severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a
surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with all other WGI
Parties, with respect to the payment and reimbursement obligations under
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Section 6, it being the intention of the Parties
that all the obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of
the WGI Parties (but excluding WILLC) without preferences or distinction among
them. The first dollar exposure for any such amounts shall be drawable by
Raytheon under the Raytheon LOC, in accordance with the terms set forth on
Exhibit C hereto.

                (c)     Reporting. Until a particular Assumed Projects Support
Agreement is completely released, the WGI Parties agree to provide Raytheon with
(i) on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, monthly project reports on each
Assumed Project to the extent provided to owners and other clients with respect
to such Assumed Project, (ii) copies of information actually provided to surety
companies or the WGI Parties' lenders, and (iii) other mutually-agreed
information (except to the extent the provision of the items set forth in (i),
(ii) or (iii) is limited by contract or government regulation, in which event
the WGI Parties and the Raytheon Parties shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to satisfy any such limitation in order to enable the Raytheon Parties
to obtain such information). All information provided by the WGI Parties under
this Section 6.1 shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in
Section 7.4. In connection with Assumed Projects, Raytheon shall not have access
to the WGI Parties' books, records or personnel until any of the Raytheon
Parties has reason to believe or any of the WGI Parties has knowledge that third
parties may have rights to or have, or have threatened to assert, claims with
respect to any Assumed Projects Support Agreements. In that event, the WGI
Parties agree to provide diligently and in good faith all documentation,
information, access, and access to personnel requested by Raytheon, as though
subject to the Services Agreement and as provided in Section 8.13.

7.      LITIGATION RELEASES AND THIRD PARTY ISSUES

                Section 7.1 Mutual Releases; Resolution of Certain Claims. (a)
(i) Raytheon and WGI agree to execute and deliver, and to cause the appropriate

                                       18



Raytheon Parties and WGI Parties, respectively, and the Persons related thereto,
to execute and deliver, duly authorized releases in the form set forth in
Exhibit A.

                        (ii)  Raytheon and WGI shall not be obligated to obtain
releases from subsidiaries or other affiliates that are not wholly-owned
(referred to as a "Non-Releasing Entity"), but Raytheon and WGI each agree to
indemnify the other party and all related parties that are the subject of the
releases against all claims and causes of action ever asserted now or in the
future by such Non-Releasing Entity that would have been covered had the
Non-Releasing Entity delivered a release as described above; provided, however,
that such indemnity shall not extend to contracts between any Raytheon Parties
and any WGI Parties entered into in the ordinary course.

                (b)     At Raytheon's request and expense, the WGI Parties, to
the extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to use the post-confirmation jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court to
resolve disputed, contingent, or unliquidated claims being asserted by third
parties that Raytheon reasonably believes relate to property of the Estate and
will use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperating in other jurisdictions
to resolve disputed, contingent, or unliquidated claims and claims based in any
way on the Stock Purchase Agreement and the various agreements executed and
delivered pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the
claim involved is an Estate Claim, the Estate Claim shall be the subject of the
Claims Allowance Process and shall be governed by Section 5.6, and the
resolution of any such Estate Claim shall be through the Claims Allowance
Process. When such claims involve Rejected Projects involving outstanding
Support Agreements that may be subject to such claims, the use of the
post-confirmation jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court as described herein shall
be subject to Raytheon's consent and right to direct the response to the claim
and any related litigation, to control the process and to receive any resulting
proceeds, in a manner consistent with Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6.

                Section 7.2 SPA Information. (a) The Parties agree to keep
confidential (and to use their best efforts to cause their respective agents and
representatives to keep confidential) any "SPA Information"; provided however
that the parties may utilize SPA Information on a non-confidential basis as
reasonably required in connection with conduct of their business or otherwise in
furtherance of WGI's business interests (including, without limitation, existing
or potential business arrangements, but excluding any business interests or
arrangements involving the pursuit of claims against the Raytheon Parties). SPA
Information, for purposes of this Section 7.2 and Section 7.5 below means,
collectively, (a) any information or

                                       19



documents provided to Morrison Knudsen or the WGI Parties or their agents by the
Raytheon Parties or (b) any information or documents provided to the Raytheon
Parties or their agents by Morrison Knudsen or the WGI Parties, in each case in
connection with the negotiation or implementation of the Stock Purchase
Agreement or pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of August 4,
1999 between Raytheon Company and Morrison Knudsen Corporation. This obligation
shall not apply with respect to any information that: (x) was known by the WGI
Parties or the Raytheon Parties prior to receipt from the other party; (xi) was
developed independently by the WGI Parties without the use of SPA Information;
(xii) is in the public domain or otherwise generally available to the public; or
(xiii) was received by the WGI Parties from third parties under no known
confidentiality obligation to the Raytheon Parties, including those under this
Agreement.

                (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WGI Parties and the
Raytheon Parties, respectively, may disclose SPA Information (i) to the extent
requested or required by any regulatory authority, government authority, or
examining authority or provided to such authority to the extent such Party, in
its discretion, has determined that it should do so to protect or preserve its
own legal, regulatory, or commercial interests, or (ii) to the extent necessary
for any Party to defend against a suit, action or proceeding to which it or any
of its officers or directors is a party.

                (c)     The Raytheon Parties and WGI Parties agree not to waive
intentionally or release any known privileges or protections with respect to
non-public SPA Information and the businesses sold pursuant thereto as it
relates to any third party litigation that may involve a Raytheon Party or WGI
Party without first giving reasonable notice to the other Party.

                Section 7.3 Discovery Materials. (a) All documents,
interrogatory answers, deposition testimony, and deposition exhibits produced or
obtained in the Bankruptcy Cases and the Idaho Litigation, all submissions made
by Raytheon and WGI in connection with the purchase price adjustment
proceedings, and all transcripts of proceedings before the Independent
Accounting Firm (collectively, "Discovery Materials") shall be governed by this
Section 7.3 and Section 7.5 below. A Party's own documents in the hands of such
Party including, without limitation, documents it produced in connection with
such cases, shall not constitute Discovery Materials.

                (b)     The parties may retain Discovery Materials, except for
the 116 documents believed by WGI to be privileged and previously identified to
Raytheon, which, to the extent held by Raytheon, shall be returned to, and
retained (i.e., not

                                       20



destroyed) by WGI. The Parties shall not disclose Discovery Materials to any
Person unless such Person has acknowledged in writing that s/he has read the
terms of this Section 7.3 and is personally bound by it, and such Person is (i)
a client representative of the Party retaining possession of such Discovery
Materials, (ii) an attorney, accountant, financial advisor, expert, or other
professional retained by such client, or (iii) a Person to whom disclosure of
the Discovery Materials has been consented to by the Party who first provided
the Discovery Materials.

                (c)     Notwithstanding and without limitation of the foregoing
and subject to the provisions of Section 7.5, a Party may disclose Discovery
Materials that have entered the public domain other than through an improper
disclosure by such Party.

                Section 7.4 Other Confidential Information. (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.5 below, the Parties agree to keep confidential (and to
use their best efforts to cause their respective agents and representatives to
keep confidential) the Confidential Information and all copies thereof, extracts
therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon. For the purposes of
this Section 7.4 and Section 7.5 below, "Confidential Information" shall mean
any confidential information that concerns the business and operations of any
Party and that has been acquired by any other Party pursuant to this Agreement.
This obligation shall not apply with respect to any information that: (i) was
known by the WGI Parties or the Raytheon Parties prior to receipt from the other
party; or (ii) is in the public domain.

                (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section
7.5 below, the WGI Parties and the Raytheon Parties, respectively, may disclose
Confidential Information (i) to such of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, consultants, advisors, affiliates and representatives as need
to know such Confidential Information in order to carry out their normal
business responsibilities, (ii) to the extent requested or required by any
regulatory authority or examining authority, or (iii) in connection with any
suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder
or under the Services Agreement.

                Section 7.5 Compelled Disclosure. In the event that the WGI
Parties, on the one hand, or the Raytheon Parties, on the other hand, are
required (including but not limited to, by questions under oath,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings,
governmental regulatory or self-regulatory organization requests for
information; or subpoena, civil demand, or other process) (collectively, a
"Document Request") requesting the production of Discovery Materials or
Confidential Information received from the other Party, the

                                       21



Party so served will provide the other Party with prompt written notice of any
such request or requirement so that the other Party may seek a protective order
or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Agreement. Nothing
herein shall require a Party served with a Document Request to violate its legal
obligations thereunder or (but, subject to the foregoing notice requirements as
related to Discovery Materials or Confidential Information) to withhold
information from any regulatory or governmental agency if the Party reasonably
determines that it is in its best interest to provide requested information to
such regulatory or governmental agency. No Party shall be required to give the
notice provided hereby if a regulatory or governmental agency, on its own
initiative, requests that it not provide such notice to any Party. In addition,
this Section 7.5 shall apply to SPA Information requested or required in
connection with any third-party non-government or regulatory Document Request.

                Section 7.6 Avoidance of Further Litigation Activity. The
Raytheon Parties and the WGI Parties agree that they will not affirmatively
assist third parties in pursuing claims against the other Party arising out of
matters resolved under this Agreement.

8.      OTHER MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS

                Section 8.1 Use of Name. (a) Raytheon hereby terminates any
license, whether express or implied, the WGI Parties may have been granted, or
may otherwise have been assumed to exist, with respect to use of the "Raytheon"
name, whether alone or in combination with other words or designs. The WGI
Parties hereby acknowledge, agree and consent to the foregoing and agree
immediately to commence actions to terminate use of the Raytheon name. In any
and all events, the WGI Parties agree to cease use of all Raytheon names on or
before March 31, 2002.

                (b)     The WGI Parties hereby acknowledge that Raytheon is the
owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Raytheon Mark, whether
alone or in combination with other words or designs and that the WGI Parties
shall not have any right to use the Raytheon Mark except as expressly authorized
by this Agreement in paragraph (c) below. At the request of Raytheon, WGI will
cause all of the WGI Parties to enter into a separate agreement with Raytheon
covering the same matters set forth in paragraph (a) and this paragraph (b).

                (c)     Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, Raytheon agrees to
grant WGI and REOL as defined herein a limited license to use the name
"Raytheon-Ebasco Overseas Ltd." ("REOL") on projects that are under contract on

                                       22



the date hereof only. Unless Raytheon agrees otherwise in a writing that
specifically refers to this Section 8.1(c), the WG1 Parties agree to make clear
that REOL is no longer affiliated with Raytheon by legends to that effect on
signage, stationery, directories and the like.

                Section 8.2 Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement. The
Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement shall be assumed by WGI and remain the
valid obligation of WGI, Raytheon and RECI. As contemplated by Article 3 of the
Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement, (a) Raytheon and WGI will designate
appropriate representatives to meet and confer by not later than March 15, 2002,
with respect to outstanding claims for Taxes (as defined in the Disaffiliation
Tax Sharing Agreement) and other items provided for under that Agreement for
which either Raytheon or WGI is or may be responsible under the Disaffiliation
Tax Sharing Agreement and refunds for Taxes that either of them is entitled to
under that Agreement, and amounts due shall be agreed upon and paid by not later
than May 31, 2002, and, if no agreement on amounts can be reached, such amounts
shall be determined and paid as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction,
with all costs to be borne by the non-prevailing party as determined by that
court, (b) WGI will, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the
Confirmation Order, notify Raytheon, in the manner provided in the
Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement, of all proofs of claim relating to Taxes
and all Taxes listed in the schedules to the Plan or filed in the Bankruptcy
Case or for which WGI intends to assert its indemnification rights under the
Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement, (c) Raytheon will have the right to object
to any or all of such claims in the Bankruptcy Case or to direct WGI to make
such objection, (d) Raytheon will have the right to negotiate, compromise and
settle any or all of such claims (or to direct WGI to control the proceedings
with respect to such claims) as and to the extent provided in Article 3 of the
Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement and (e) WGI's failure to perform its
obligation under subsection (b) of this Section 8.2, shall excuse Raytheon from
its indemnification obligations under the Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement
with respect to the affected Taxes to the extent that such failure affects the
rights of Raytheon with respect to such Taxes. Except as specifically modified
or supplemented by this Section 8.2, the Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall exclusively govern all matters
that are the subject thereof.

                Section 8.3 Insurance Claims. The WGI Parties agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to use rights available under the Bankruptcy
Code to reduce the exposure of each or either of the WGI Parties or the Raytheon
Parties under various insurance arrangements. The WGI Parties and the Raytheon
Parties agree to work in good faith to resolve their respective rights and
obligations under

                                       23



various insurance policies. The Plan shall not create rights in or to insurance
coverage. Raytheon shall have all rights in and to insurance proceeds and
insurance generally, except that with respect to CGL and professional liability
policies procured by WGI under its corporate program, Raytheon shall have only
such rights with respect to insurance as the Parties may mutually agree for
projects and contracts that involve Rejected Projects, subject to the first
sentence of Section 5.5(b).

                Section 8.4 Warrior Run. With regard to the Warrior Run
Receivable, the WGI Parties agree to remit to Raytheon, from and upon the
release of the proceeds by the owner of the Warrior Run project to WGI, net of
actual out-of-pocket costs of collection from the date hereof, an amount equal
to 32% of the aggregate of the net amount released to WGI from its share and any
other recoveries obtained by WGI from CE/Alstom relating to the Warrior Run
project, provided that Raytheon's net share shall not exceed $4,160,000 (i.e.
capped at 32% of $13 million) of such recoveries. WGI will keep Raytheon
reasonably informed of the status of its litigation with CE/Alstom and will
permit Raytheon to monitor such litigation at its own expense.

                Section 8.5 Nondisparagement. Press releases respecting the
resolution of their disputes and with respect to the settlement embodied in this
Agreement will be mutually agreed upon. The Raytheon Parties and the WGI Parties
agree not to (and agree to cause their respective senior officers, directors and
advisors not to) disparage the other party or its senior officers, directors or
advisors with or to the media.

                Section 8.6 Scope of Agreement. Except with respect to Rejected
Projects, this Agreement does not extend to (a) matters in the insolvency
proceeding of Washington International B.V. that is now pending in The Hague,
Netherlands, except with respect to documents, insurance claim information and
other information, if any, under the care, custody, or control of the WGI
Parties, which shall be treated as if the projects involved were Rejected
Projects, or (b) WGI Parties that are not Debtors but that have obligations
supported by Support Agreements. The Parties acknowledge that WILLC is subject
to a winding up petition filed in the United Kingdom and is deemed to be
insolvent under English law, accordingly, WGI will not be able to require it to
provide support on its projects and WGI agrees to provide support on Saltend and
Damhead pursuant to the Services Agreement through another entity.

                Section 8.7 Status and Effect of Stock Purchase Agreement, Etc.
Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, the rejected Stock Purchase Agreement, the

                                       24



rejected Receivables Termination Agreement and the rejected Project Completion
Agreements entered into pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, shall
thereupon be terminated and have no further force or effect, right or
obligation, among the parties thereto or otherwise. All matters arising
therefrom as among the parties thereto, including but not limited to, the
Raytheon Claims, the Raytheon Asserted Claims, and the Debtors' fraudulent
transfer adversary action referred to herein, and any obligations, entitlements,
benefits or burdens thereunder, shall be governed, superseded, or replaced, as
the case may be, by this Agreement, the Plan, and the Raytheon Settlement
Provisions and Documents.

                Section 8.8 Order Regarding Stipulated Raytheon Issues and
Stipulation and Order Regarding Confidentiality. Upon the Effective Date, the
Order Regarding Stipulated Raytheon Issues and the Stipulation and Order
Regarding Confidentiality entered in the Bankruptcy Case shall be vacated.

                Section 8.9 Certain Contract Changes. Unless consented to in
writing by Raytheon, the Debtors may not at any time after November 20, 2001,
assume and assign, reject, amend or modify any executory contract or unexpired
lease to which Raytheon is a party or with respect to which there is a related
Support Agreement, other than with respect to ordinary course change orders or
as set forth in the Plan or any Motion filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or
prior to November 20, 2001.

                Section 8.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer, nor does it confer, upon
any third party any rights, remedies, benefits, obligations, or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. For
the avoidance of doubt, no Raytheon Party by virtue of this Agreement is
assuming or creating any obligations or duties to parties not signatory hereto.

                Section 8.11 Roche Carolina. With regard to the Roche Carolina
litigation, Raytheon and WGI agree that such litigation and all related claims
constitute both a Raytheon Controllable Claim and a Rejected Project Claim and,
accordingly, Raytheon has the right to settle the case or pursue the current
appeal, in each case at Raytheon's cost, and Raytheon has the right to retain
any and all proceeds should the appeal be successful. In addition, Raytheon
agrees that it will pay on behalf of WGI any settlement or non-appealable final
judgment.

                Section 8.12 No Admission of Liability. Each of the Parties
understands and agrees that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and
settlement of

                                       25



claims that at all times have been disputed and denied. Nothing contained
herein, or otherwise related to this compromise and settlement of these disputed
claims, shall ever constitute or be construed to be an admission of liability or
damages on the part of any Person or Persons released hereunder. This settlement
represents a compromise among the Parties reflecting their mutual desire to
terminate all disputes among them and to avoid the substantial burden of
continued litigation.

                Section 8.13 Access; Records, Etc.. (a) Raytheon Access. During
normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, the WGI Parties will permit
Raytheon to have reasonable access to and examine and make copies of all
records, contracts, subcontractor and vendor-related documentation, claims
evaluations, lists, payment records, project correspondence, bids and documents
relating to the Rejected Projects, receivables being collected by Raytheon or
litigation involving Support Agreements or other alleged liability against the
Raytheon Parties. Photocopying will, at Raytheon's option, but after
consultation with WGI and giving consideration to any undue disruption to WGI's
business, be conducted on-site at WGI's offices or offsite using a third party
vendor, in accordance with procedures reasonably satisfactory to WGI. With
regard to access to WGI's Princeton, New Jersey offices, (i) access shall be
given during normal business hours, and (ii) Raytheon's personnel shall be
subject to WGI's prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. In addition to those personnel subject to the foregoing approval
process, WGI expressly will pre-approve and permit the persons listed on
Schedule 1 hereto to have access to the Princeton facilities. All requests for
books, access, personnel or otherwise will be made of the Person designated by
WGI to receive such requests, who shall be accessible and available.

                (b)     Turnover of Records. The WGI Parties will not destroy
any files or records related to matters of concern to Raytheon, and identified
to WGI within sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, without giving
at least thirty (30) days' prior notice to Raytheon. Upon receipt of notice,
Raytheon may require that the records involved be delivered to it (subject to
attorney client privileges or work product doctrines, which materials shall be
retained and not destroyed by the WGI Parties and otherwise shall be treated as
provided in Section 7.3), at its expense, or notify WGI that it will pay the
cost of storing and maintaining those books and records (including costs of
moving the books and records to a location under Raytheon's control), but
Raytheon will be required to pay such costs only to the extent that WGI is not
required by applicable law or its own internal policies or practices to retain
such files or records.

                                       26



                (c)     Personnel. Each of the WGI Parties will provide the
Raytheon Parties with reasonable access to their personnel, to the extent it
still employs them, necessary or helpful for matters with respect to which WGI
is obligated to assist Raytheon. Each of the WGI Parties also will cooperate
with Raytheon in locating personnel who are no longer employed by it.

                (d)     Reimbursement of Costs. Raytheon will reimburse WGI for
its Allowable Costs incurred and for the actual time spent by WGI's employees,
for the matters referred to in (a)-(c) above, including without limitation, the
reasonable Allowable Costs of inside counsel and administrative personnel, plus
a fee of 7.5% of such Allowable Costs (but without duplication of other
payments); provided, however, in no event will WGI be required to provide legal
services to Raytheon. To the extent practicable this support will be funded in
advance against a budget pursuant to procedures similar to those described in
Section 5.4(e). To the extent advance funding is not practicable, amounts shall
be paid within thirty days after submissions of monthly invoices in reasonable
detail. To the extent possible, the payment by Raytheon of any amounts shall not
prejudice its rights to contest the invoice amount against the ultimate third
party payee.

                Section 8.14 Legal Advice. Each of the Parties has received
independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to this Agreement. Each
of the Parties agrees that it will never deny the validity of this Agreement on
the ground that it did not have the advice of counsel generally or advice of
counsel in the aforementioned litigation.

                Section 8.15 Agreement Binding. (a) Signatories. Each of
Raytheon and RECI represents and warrants to the WGI Parties and each of WGI,
WGI Ohio and the other WGI Parties that are signatories hereto represents and
warrants to the Raytheon Parties as follows: the execution and delivery of this
Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership or similar action on behalf of such Party, and this Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable
against such Party in accordance with their terms, subject as to enforcement to
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or
by equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies.

                (b)     Raytheon Parties. Raytheon represents and warrants that
it is duly authorized and empowered by each of the other Raytheon Parties (other
than RECI) to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of each such Raytheon
Party and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, binding and
enforceable obligation

                                             27



of each such Raytheon Party to the same extent as if such Raytheon Party
executed and delivered this Agreement on its own behalf. In the event of any
breach of the foregoing representation and warranty, Raytheon and RECI jointly
and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the WGI Parties from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature
and character arising out such breach.

                (c)     WGI Parties. WGI represents and warrants that it is duly
authorized and empowered by each of the other WGI Parties (other than WGI Ohio
and the other WGI Parties that are signatories hereto) to execute and deliver
this Agreement on behalf of each such WGI Party and that this Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each such
WGI Party to the same extent as if such WGI Party executed and delivered this
Agreement on its own behalf. In the event of any breach of the foregoing
representation and warranty, WGI and WGI Ohio jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Raytheon Parties from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising
out such breach.

                Section 8.16 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Consent to Suit.
(a) This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York notwithstanding any conflict of laws provision in the
State of New York or elsewhere that would dictate the application of the law of
any other jurisdiction.

                (b)     The Raytheon Parties, the WGI Parties, and the Committee
agree that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes relating to the Plan and the
exhibits to the Plan to the fullest extent provided under applicable law,
including, without limitation, issues under this Agreement and the Raytheon
Settlement Provisions and Documents, until the closing of the Bankruptcy Case,
except that all disputes relating solely to the Services Agreement shall be
resolved as provided in Section 18 of the Services Agreement.

                (c)     To the extent that the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Nevada no longer has jurisdiction over the Plan or any
related matter, the Parties agree that any proceeding to enforce this Agreement
shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York or any federal court
sitting therein.

                (d)     Each of the Parties hereby waives any present or future
objection to such venue, and irrevocably consents and submits unconditionally to
the

                                       28



exclusive jurisdiction for itself and in respect of any of its property of any
such court. Each of the Parties further irrevocably waives any claim that such
court is not a convenient forum for any such proceeding. Each of the Parties
agrees that any service of process, writ, judgment or other notice of legal
process shall be deemed and held in every respect to be effectively served up on
it if sent to such Party in the manner and at the address specified in Section
8.19. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any
manner permitted by applicable law.

                (e)     EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY
RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT
DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY BE IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR
ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND
AGREES THAT THE FINDER OF FACT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE THE
TRIAL JUDGE AND NOT A JURY.

                (f)     Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to
claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section
8.16 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

                Section 8.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Services
Agreement, the Mutual Release and other documents and agreements expressly
referred to herein represent the entire agreement between the Parties hereto
relating to the subject matter hereof, except to the extent express reference is
made herein to any other agreement or writing, and may be amended or varied only
in writing by duly authorized representatives of the Parties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as modified by and to the extent provided in Section 8.2,
the Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement shall exclusively govern all matters
that are the subject thereof. The Parties expressly waive all provisions
contained in any past agreement, including, without limitation, the Stock
Purchase Agreement, or correspondence that negates, limits, modifies,
supplements, extends or conflicts with the provisions hereof. The language used
in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to
express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied
against any Party.

                Section 8.18 Assignment. Subject to Section 9-406 of the Uniform
Commercial Code (as revised), no Party shall be entitled to transfer or assign
its

                                       29



rights and liabilities provided for herein to any third Person without the
written approval from all other Parties, except that any Raytheon Parties may
assign to a Support Agreement Surety some or all of its rights under this
Agreement, the Separate Agreements or the Services Agreement, as applicable,
with respect to a project covered by or subject to a Support Agreement.

                Section 8.19 Notices. Any and all notices pursuant to this
Agreement can be validly given by (a) hand or courier, (b) telefax (with
confirming hard copy to be send by internationally recognized overnight or

The Parties will describe in the applicable Work Order whether or not performance by an Affiliate of Consultant is anticipated to be required. 3. RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLETION SERVICES a) Consultant warrants to perform the Completion Services in accordance with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the engineering and construction profession existing as of the date this Agreement became effective and in accordance with the performance standards that previously applied to the performance by Consultant and its Affiliates of their obligations under the applicable Project Agreements, which shall be set forth in each Work Order (in each case the "Specified Obligations"); provided, however, that the only remedy hereunder and Consultant's only liability, unless Consultant or one of its Affiliates has performed with willful misconduct or gross negligence, for the failure by Consultant or one of its Affiliates to perform in accordance with the Specified Obligations shall be, at Client's option, (i) termination pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) Consultant or one of its Affiliates shall re-perform all non-complying work on a cost-reimbursable basis, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; provided, however, no Fee or profit of any kind shall be payable by Client with respect to such re-performance work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant or one of its Affiliates shall not be responsible under this Agreement for any performance guarantees, emissions guarantees, schedule guarantees, and any other guarantee or warranty set forth in any Project Agreements. b) Because Consultant and its Affiliates and their employees are under Client's direction and control, Consultant and its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates shall have no liability to Client or to third parties for injuries or alleged injuries to persons (including death), or for damages or alleged damages to property, including Client's property and any Project owner's property, arising out of or in connection with these Completion Services, except to the extent arising out of Consultant's or one of its Affiliate's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 4. CONSULTANT'S ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS. a) Consultant's Indemnity. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Consultant shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Client and its subsidiaries and all directors, officers, employees and/or agents of the foregoing harmless against, any and all claims, liabilities, expenses, damages, losses, costs, judgments, demands and suits (including reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Losses") arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant or its Affiliates in the performance or nonperformance of 6 Consultant's obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that in any case in which Consultant uses commercially reasonable efforts to perform and comply with its obligations hereunder and takes all reasonable steps to abide by the directions of Client and the terms of this Agreement, Consultant and its Affiliates shall be deemed not to have breached such obligations. b) Claims Support. To the extent requested by Client for a particular Project, as part of the Completion Services, Consultant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue, settle, investigate, negotiate (or, as necessary, defend) change orders and claims for equitable adjustment and other claims relating to the performance of Completion Services pursuant to this Agreement with respect to that Project, including any claims for warranty or for non-complying work or delivery, against the Project owner, customers, suppliers, subcontractors, vendors and non-contract parties (collectively, "Project Completion Claims"), other than those Project Completion Claims that Consultant reasonably believes are not commercially reasonable (and in the case of defending Project Completion Claims, that Consultant reasonably believes are not commercially reasonable to defend); provided that Consultant shall not be required to litigate, arbitrate or assume the defense of any Project Completion Claim in its own name, although the Consultant acknowledges that it may be sued in its own name and will be required to litigate such claim, in its own name, subject to Client's obligations to indemnify Consultant as provided in Section 6 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Consultant and Client acknowledge that any claims relating to the Projects but not relating to the performance of Completion Services pursuant to this Agreement or not constituting part of the Routine Close-Out Services, including without limitation the resolution in the Bankruptcy Court of claims asserted by third parties as unsecured claims in connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, shall not be pursued or defended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, but shall be subject to the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement. Consultant's pursuit or defense, if any, of Project Completion Claims shall be at the direction and under the control of Client. Consultant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client in pursuing, litigating, arbitrating or defending against any Project Completion Claims, and Client shall take the lead role in such process. In the event that Consultant reasonably believes such Project Completion Claims are not commercially reasonable, or that the defense of such Project Completion Claims is not commercially reasonable, and Client wishes to pursue or defend such Project Completion Claim, Consultant agrees to provide, diligently and in good faith, all documentation, information, access, and access to (but not use of) personnel requested by Client. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be deemed reasonable for Client to request to meet with witnesses in advance of any testimony they may be asked or required to give at a deposition or hearing of any sort relating to Project Completion Claims and to have the witnesses furnished by Consultant travel to the location of any hearing c) Good Standing. Consultant shall maintain its existence and good standing and the existence and good standing of any Affiliate performing Completion Services, until performance is completed. d) Permits and Licenses. Consultant shall maintain the existence and effectiveness of all permits necessary for performance by Consultant or its Affiliates of any Completion Services hereunder, and such maintenance shall constitute part of the Completion Services to be performed by Consultant under this Agreement. 7 5. WARRANTY EXCLUSION a) Consultant's sole liability to Client for any Completion Services that fail to meet the standard set forth in Section 3(a) or set forth in any Work Order and that do not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be to reperform the non-conforming Completion Services, written notice of which must be promptly given after discovery by Client to Consultant. Consultant's obligation for reperformance of non-conforming Completion Services shall begin at Work Order completion, and extend for a term of one (1) year thereafter. Any costs of reperformance will be an Allowable Cost under this Agreement, but Consultant will not be entitled to any Fee for such reperformance. The Consultant's liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct is set forth in Section 4(a). b) The only warranties made by Consultant are those expressly enumerated in Section 3 above. Any other statements of fact or descriptions expressed in this Agreement or any attachments hereto shall not be deemed to constitute a warranty of the Completion Services or any part thereof. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 3 A) above ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE(S) AND ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING AND/OR USAGE OF TRADE). The remedies provided in Section 5(a) above are Client's sole and exclusive remedies for any failure of Consultant to comply with the warranties in Section (3a) and are expressly in lieu of any and all other warranties of any kind whatsoever, as stated above. Except as provided in Section 4(a) with respect to gross negligence or willful misconduct, correction of any nonconformity in Completion Services in the manner and for the period of time provided above shall constitute complete fulfillment of all the liabilities and warranties of Consultant for any and all defective or nonconforming Completion Services whether the claims of Client are based upon contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence and strict liability), errors or omissions, warranties, indemnity or otherwise with respect to or arising out of any Completion Services performed hereunder. 6. QUALITY ASSURANCE; INDEMNITY BY CLIENT a) Performance by Consultant of any quality assurance, vendor assurance, project management, construction management, or other third party oversight or advisory services shall in no way constitute an assumption by Consultant, or by any of its suppliers or subcontractors of any tier, of, or relieve a Client or its consultants or suppliers from, any responsibility for delivery of any services, materials, equipment and documentation in strict accordance with the requirements of the consultant, manufacturer, or supplier/Client contract. b) Client agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Consultant and its Affiliates and any and all directors, officers, employees and/or agents of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all Losses of any kind and nature whatsoever, arising from the Consultant's performance of this Agreement. c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, or any provision to the contrary contained herein, Client shall not indemnify, hold harmless, or defend the Indemnitees with regard to Losses of any kind or nature whatsoever to the proportionate extent that such Losses: 8 (i) arise from any Indemnitee's breach of this Agreement, other than any breach of the Specified Obligations or other failure to perform any Completion Services in the manner required by this Agreement that does not arise from any Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) arise from any Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) are covered by the collected proceeds of any insurance policy covering the applicable Project, to the extent of such proceeds; (iv) are the responsibility of WGI Delaware under the WGI Guaranty; or (v) arise under or relate to the prior performance of any of the Project Agreements or any other subcontract, vendor contract or other contract relating to any Project that were rejected by Consultant or any Affiliates and that was asserted or could have been asserted as a claim (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Debtors, or any of them, as part of the Bankruptcy Case. d) Solely with respect to the Ratchaburi project, the Client shall also indemnify Consultant and its affiliates for valid claims of General Electric Company and its affiliates (collectively, "GE") for payments made and liabilities incurred to vendors and subcontractors of Consultant and its affiliates after May 14, 2001 and prior to the date of this Agreement as a result of the non-performance by Consultant and its affiliates during this period. 7. FORCE MAJEURE Any delay or failure of Consultant in performing its required obligations hereunder shall be excused if and to the extent it is caused by a Force Majeure event.

In such event, the time for performance hereunder shall be extended for a period of time sufficient to overcome the effects of such delay, and Consultant's compensation shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any increased costs of performance of the Completion Services. 8.

WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES As it relates to performance of Completion Services under this Agreement, neither Consultant nor Client nor their respective employees, officers, directors, affiliates, consultants, agents and subcontractors or suppliers of any tier, if any, shall be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, incidental, or consequential damages of any nature, including, without limitation, any loss of actual or anticipated profits or revenues, loss by reason of shutdown, operation, non-operation, or increased expense of operation, loss of use, cost of capital, cost of replacement power and any other loss due to power outages, damage to or loss of property or equipment of Client or project owners, or claims of customers of Client or project owners, regardless of whether due to or based upon delay, contract, warranty, tort, negligence, strict liability, error or omission, indemnity or otherwise. 10.

CHANGES Client may from time to time seek to modify, extend or enlarge the Completion Services being performed with respect to a particular Project by written instructions to Consultant to perform additional Completion Services, modify the schedule or direct the omission of work previously ordered. In the event Client requests that Consultant perform additional Completion Services, or make other modifications to the Completion Services, the existing Work Order will be revised to reflect such changes. In no event, however, shall Consultant be obligated to perform such additional services or modify or extend such services without prior written amendment to an existing Work Order signed by Client and accepted in writing by Consultant. In addition, Client may from time to time direct Consultant to cease performing one or more of the Completion Services that Consultant had been previously performing. Costs associated with the Completion Services contemplated prior to the change that had been incurred prior to the time the change could reasonably take effect, any field demobilization costs required as a result of the termination of work or change in scope, and any additional Completion Services requested by Client to be performed in connection with such termination of work or change in scope, shall all constitute Allowable Costs hereunder to the extent incurred in accordance with the rates and charges referred to in Schedule 12(a). 12. PAYMENT TERMS a) Work Orders. All payment terms shall be as specified in the applicable Work Order for any Project. In general, and unless specifically set forth and agreed by Client and Consultant to the contrary in this Agreement or such Work Order, Consultant shall be paid, in advance, for all Allowable Costs, plus a fee in the amount of 7.50% of such Allowable Costs (the "Fee"). Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Work Order, Allowable Costs will be calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 12(a). b) Default Budget; Funding; Reconciliation. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in a Work Order, for any Project for which Consultant shall perform any Completion Services: (i) Consultant shall prepare a budget, and semi-monthly updates, containing Consultant's reasonable estimate of the anticipated costs of performing such services through completion of such services, broken down by cost element; (ii) Consultant shall notify Client no less than fourteen (14) days in advance of the start of any two week period in which services are to be performed of the anticipated Allowable Costs to be expended by Consultant for such two week period, and at the request 11 of Client, Consultant shall meet and confer with Client regarding the amounts to be funded thereby; (iii) no less than (3) business days in advance of such two-week period, Client shall wire funds to Consultant for such two week period, in an amount not less than the amount requested by Client, or the amount agreed to by the Parties after having met and conferred, taking into account any credits or debits from any prior period; and (iv) Consultant shall provide a monthly reconciliation to Client, no later than twenty one (21) days following the end of any month in which services were performed, of the costs actually incurred during such month, and the Parties shall make such debits or credits as are appropriate. c) In House Costs.

No amounts spent by Consultant or its Affiliates on a Project that were spent prior to, or not in connection with this Agreement, shall constitute an Allowable Cost (or an Accrued Cost), unless such amounts are approved by Client, in writing, in a Work Order for such Project pursuant to the terms hereof. Client has previously approved the Allowable Costs relating to certain Projects listed on Schedule 12(c) hereto, and such Allowable Costs shall be paid within five (5) business days after the date of this Agreement. Certain other costs listed on Schedule 12(c) are subject to review and mutual agreement as described in Schedule 12(c). e) No Duplication. No amount payable by Client under this Agreement, for Allowable Costs, for indemnity, or otherwise, shall be payable, or paid, to Consultant more than once. Consultant shall not include any item in any request for payment or reimbursement for which Consultant has already been paid by Client under any other agreement or arrangement with respect to the Project. f) Audit Rights. Client shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to Consultant's books and records as necessary to verify the number of manhours actually charged in a given work week, all Out-of-Pocket costs, including subcontractor and vendor payments, any Taxes, and the application of the appropriate rates and multipliers to the man- hours charged. Client shall not have audit rights with respect to the agreed upon multiplier rates set forth in Schedule 12(a) for Labor Costs and certain Out-of-Pocket Costs. g) Tax Cooperation. Consultant shall cooperate with Client, prior to or following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, to obtain Tax refunds from any applicable taxing authorities for the benefit of Client, for any Taxes paid by Client, or reimbursed to Consultant, pursuant to this Agreement, or any other prior arrangement between the Parties. Client shall compensate Consultant (at rates and fees substantially similar to the rates and fees for work or services performed hereunder) for any work performed under this paragraph (f) following the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The parties shall endeavor to minimize Taxes payable in connection with the Completion Services, to the extent permitted 12 by law. Any refunds for Taxes that are governed by the Tax Agreement will be pursued and remitted as provided in the Tax Agreement. h) Set off. Client agrees to fund its obligations to make payments pursuant to the applicable Work Order notwithstanding any right of set-off or recoupment that Client may have or allege against any sums due under this Agreement. 13.

Client agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Consultant against any and all damages, claims, causes of action, expenses, liabilities, costs and losses, including, but not limited to, defense costs and attorneys' fees, arising out of any reuse by Client or others of the materials, data, or reports for any other projects or matters unrelated to the Projects without the written authorization of Consultant. Client expressly agrees that it shall not and is not authorized to so use any such documents without such authorization. Client hereby grants to Consultant the unrestricted, royalty free right to retain copies of these materials and to use these materials and the information contained therein, on a world wide basis, in the normal course of Consultant's business for any and all lawful purposes subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof. In the course of performance of its Completion Services Consultant may rely upon information supplied by Client or Client's partners, contractors, or consultants, or information available from generally accepted reputable sources without independent verification. Consultant shall have no liability for defects in its Completion Services attributable to Consultant's reliance upon or use of data, design criteria, drawings, specifications or other information furnished by Client. 15. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION a) Client shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to completion of the Completion Services after delivery of ten (10) days written notice to Consultant, in which event Client shall pay Consultant all amounts due up to the effective date of termination plus all Allowable Costs incurred in connection with field demobilization required as a result of such termination. To the extent that Client requests that Consultant perform services post-termination, Consultant shall be paid its actual costs, based upon Allowable Costs, plus Fees. b) Consultant may suspend performance on a Work Order for non-payment of amounts due on a Work Order after five (5) days notice. In addition, Consultant may terminate performance under such Work Order after thirty (30) days cumulative suspension for non-payment. 13 c) In the event that Client or Consultant terminates the Completion Services with respect to a particular Work Order (a "Partial Termination") or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to paragraph a) above, any and all amounts previously paid to Consultant and not disbursed to pay Allowable Costs or Fee pursuant to the applicable Work Order, in the case of a Partial Termination only insofar as it relates to the applicable Work Order, shall be immediately disbursed to Client, inclusive of all interest thereon or credits owing thereto, without any set-off or deduction of any kind other than Allowable Costs to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, including Consultant's field demobilization costs that are reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, plus the portion of any Fee earned prior to the date of termination. Consultant will also remit directly back to Client any and all amounts received under this Agreement that remain unspent as of the termination date, in the case if a Partial Termination only insofar as it relates to the applicable Project. 16. TERM Unless otherwise specified, the term of this Agreement shall be no more than five (5) years from the Effective Date, subject to earlier termination as herein provided. In addition, provided that Consultant provides ninety (90) days' prior written notice, Consultant will not be required to provide Completion Services after the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement and at any time thereafter, Consultant shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement or any Work Order, insofar as it relates to any Completion Services, upon ninety (90) days written notice to Client. Consultant and Client may mutually agree upon an extension of this Agreement. Such extension must be in writing and signed by both Consultant and Client. 17.

No arbitrator shall be a present or former employee or agent of, or consultant or counsel to, either party hereto or any affiliate thereof. (iv) The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, U.S.A., and shall apply English as the language of the arbitration proceedings.

("RECI"), and Raytheon Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware, U.S.A. ("Parent", and together with RECI, "Raytheon"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Washington Group International, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Ohio, U.S.A. ("Consultant") and Raytheon entered into that certain Agreement for Consulting and Professional Services dated as of January_______, 2002 (the "Services Agreement") whereby Consultant agreed to provide certain services and personnel to assist Raytheon in performing its obligations under the Support Agreements (as that term is defined in the Services Agreement); WHEREAS, on May 14, 2001, Consultant and Guarantor each filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions (the "Original Bankruptcy Filing") in the United States Bankruptcy Court (the "Bankruptcy Court") for the District of Nevada; WHEREAS, Consultant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Services Agreement, Guarantor is required to unconditionally and irrevocably guaranty to Raytheon and its designees, the due and prompt performance and payment when due of each and every obligation, responsibility, undertaking, representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of Consultant under the Services Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Services Agreement. ARTICLE II GUARANTY Section 2.1 Guaranty (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor, to Raytheon, the due and punctual payment and performance as and when due of the obligations, responsibilities, undertakings, representations, warranties, payment covenants, obligations and agreements of Consultant under the Services Agreement, including, without limitation, all damages provided for in the Services Agreement (other than damages expressly excluded therein) payable as a result of a default thereunder by Consultant. The Guarantor agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay Raytheon, on demand, all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Raytheon in the enforcement of any of its rights under this Guaranty, without setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or any other item of reduction. (b) If, for any reason, Consultant shall fail duly and punctually to pay any such sum, or perform any such obligation, as provided in the Services Agreement, the Guarantor, subject to the terms of this Guaranty, shall (i) pay any such sum together with interest thereon, if any, as provided in the Services Agreement, and (ii) commence performance of such obligations as provided therein, in each case not later than five (5) days after the date of written notice from Raytheon, and thereafter diligently pursue completion of the same. In the event that the Consultant rejects or otherwise abandons its obligations under the Services Agreement, at the election of Raytheon, in its sole and absolute discretion, Guarantor shall, in performance of its obligations under this Guaranty, assume, and become primarily liable for all of Consultant's obligations under, the Services Agreement. (c) This Guaranty shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Guarantor without regard to the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Services Agreement or any term thereof or lack of power or authority of any party to enter into the Services Agreement or any amendments thereto, including any assignment or termination. This Guaranty is not, and shall not in any way be, conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect payment from or proceed against Consultant, any security held by or for the benefit of Raytheon in respect of Consultant or any other event or contingency. Section 2.2 Court Approval. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants, that it has obtained an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing Guarantor to enter into, deliver and perform this Guaranty and each and every obligation hereunder, including without limitation, each and every obligation of Consultant under the Services Agreement. Section 2.3 Bankruptcy or Insolvency. In the event that the Services Agreement shall be terminated as a result of the rejection or disaffirmance thereof by any trustee, receiver or liquidating agency of Consultant, or in the event of any rejection of any properties of Consultant in any assignment for the benefit of creditors or 2 any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding (each, an "Insolvency Event"), the Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue to the same extent as if the Services Agreement had not been so rejected or disaffirmed. The Guarantor shall, and does hereby, waive all rights and benefits which might relieve, in whole or in part, the Guarantor from the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, and the Guarantor agrees that it shall be liable for all sums, including all damages owed by Consultant under the Services Agreement, and all obligations guaranteed by this Guaranty irrespective of, and without regard to, any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of Consultant that may result from any such proceeding. ARTICLE III ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENTS Section 3.1 Obligations of Guarantor Absolute, etc. (a) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, original, absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable, and shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, abatement or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have against Consultant. (b) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be waived, modified or deemed to be excused or satisfied as the result of Guarantor's inability to perform its obligations hereunder due to any physical or legal impediments whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be waived, modified, or deemed excused or satisfied, other than to the extent that Consultant's corresponding obligations are waived, modified, or deemed excused or satisfied, as the result of (i) force majeures, acts of god, or claims of impossibility or impracticality, (ii) the inability of Guarantor to obtain or maintain any necessary permits, licenses or qualifications, or (iii) the existence of any applicable law, ruling, judgment, decree or order which would otherwise prohibit or prevent Guarantor from performing its obligations hereunder. In the event that Guarantor does not perform any or all of its obligations under this Guaranty (and the Services Agreement), the Guarantor shall indemnify Raytheon for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or in connection with such non-performance. (c) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way impaired or affected by, any circumstance or condition (whether or not the Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including but not limited to: (i) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Services Agreement or any part thereof, or any assignment of transfer of any part thereof, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional security, or any release of any security or any failure or inability to perfect any security; (ii) any failure on the part of Consultant to perform or comply with any term of the Services Agreement; 3 (iii) the occurrence or continuance of any default by Consultant under the Services Agreement; (iv) any waiver, consent, change, extension, indulgence, release or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Services Agreement or any exercise or nonexercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect thereof; (v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to Consultant, any affiliate thereof, or any of its respective properties or creditors, or any action taken by any court, trustee, receiver or liquidating agent in any such proceeding, including, without limitation, any termination or rejection of the Services Agreement, or any assignment thereof by any court, trustee, receiver or liquidating agent of Consultant or the Guarantor or of any of their respective properties in any such proceeding or any other Insolvency Event; (vi) any act, omission, misrepresentation or breach on the part of Consultant under the Services Agreement; or (vii) any change in the direct or indirect ownership of Consultant or any other party to the Services Agreement or any change, whether direct or indirect, in the Guarantor's relationship to Consultant, including, without limitation, any change by reason of any merger or any sale, transfer, issuance, or other disposition of any stock of Consultant, the Guarantor or any other entity; provided that the Guarantor shall be entitled to assert as a defense to performance under this Guaranty, to the extent Consultant would have the right to assert such defense under the Services Agreement, any defense which is available to Consultant under the Services Agreement, other than any defenses arising out of the matters described in clause (v) above, and it being understood, however, that the Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefits of any waiver by Raytheon with respect to, or any consent by Raytheon to departure from, the Services Agreement by Consultant. Section 3.2 Waiver With respect to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, the Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives: (a) Other than the notice required under Section 2.l(b) hereof, all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any rights against the Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any demand, protest, presentment, proof of notice of non-payment of all sums, including damages, payable under the Services Agreement or any notice to the Guarantor of any failure on the part of Consultant to perform or comply with any covenant, term or obligation of the Services Agreement; (b) any requirement for the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Services Agreement; (c) any requirement that Consultant be joined as a party to any proceedings for the enforcement of any provision of this Guaranty; 4 (d) any other common law or statutory defense of a secondary obligor, guarantor or surety, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the impairment of any collateral securing any of Consultant's obligations under the Services Agreement; and (e) any and all rights of subrogation to any of the rights of Raytheon or any other party, of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising from or in connection with the Services Agreement or this Guaranty.

Board of Directors
Raytheon Corporation
141 Spring Street
Lexington, MA  02421

Dear Directors:

We are providing this letter to you for inclusion as an exhibit to your
Form 10-K filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and issued our
report thereon dated January 21, 2003, except as to the eighth paragraph in Note
H as to which the date is February 14, 2003, except as to the information in
Note T as to which the date is February 24, 2003, and except as to the second,
fifth and tenth paragraphs and all of the tables in Note B as to which the date
is March 20, 2003. Note F to the consolidated financial statements describes a
change in accounting principle from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of
costing aircraft inventories to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. It should
be understood that the preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over
another for costing inventory has not been addressed in any authoritative
accounting literature, and in expressing our concurrence below we have relied on
management's determination that this change in accounting principle is
preferable. Based on our reading of management's stated reasons and
justification for this change in accounting principle in the Form 10-K, and our
discussions with management as to their judgment about the relevant business
planning factors relating to the change, we concur with management that such
change represents, in the Company's circumstances, the adoption of a preferable
accounting principle in conformity with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 20.


Very truly yours,
