VI. DIVESTITURE OF THE AEC SHARES AND OBLIGATIONS ' RELATING TO AEC .

A. Defendants are ordered and directed, within one hundred eighty calendar days after the filing of the Complaint in this matter, or five calendar days after notice of the entry of this Final Judgment by.the Court, whichever is later, to divest the AEC Shares in a manner consistent with this Final Judgment to Rolls-Royce. If, however, applications seeking approval to assign or transfer the AEC Shares to Rolls-Royce have been filed within the period permitted for the divestiture of the AEC Shares to Rolls-Royce with authorities from which approval for the divestiture of the AEC Shares is required by Rolls-Royce as a condition of closing, but orders or other dispositive actions by such authorities on such applications have not been issued before the end of the period permitted for this divestiture, the period shall be extended with respect to the divestiture of the AEC Shares to Rolls-Royce until ten calendar days after such approvals are received. Defendants agree to use their best efforts to accomplish the divestiture of the AEC Shares to Rolls-Royce and to seek all necessary approvals as expeditiously as possible.

B. In the event the AEC Shares are not divested to Rolls-Royce pursuant to paragraph VI(A) of this Final Judgment, Defendants are ordered and directed, within one hundred eighty calendar days after the date that Rolls-Royce waives its option to acquire the AEC Shares pursuant to Clause 9 of the AEC Joint Venture Agreement, or that option lapses or expires, to divest the AEC Shares in a manner consistent with this Final Judgment to an Acquirer acceptable to the United States, in its sole discretion. The United States, in its sole discretion, may agree to one or more extensions of this time period not to exceed ninety calendar days in total, and shall notify the Court in such circumstances. Defendants agree to use their best efforts to divest the AEC Shares as expeditiously as possible.

C. Defendants shall offer to Rolls-Royce a new right for a new period in which Rolls-Royce may purchase or acquire the “AM Package” as defined in the “Put and Call Option Agreement relating to the Goodrich engine control systems aftermarket business” dated December 31, 2008, between Rolls-Royce and Goodrich (“Put and Call Option Agreement”) at the price determined using the formula set forth in clause (b) of the definition of the “Call Option Price” in the Put and Call Option Agreement, until the earlier of: (1) December 31, 2023; or (2) the date on which UTC no longer owns or controls substantially all of the Goodrich Aftermarket Business (“Right to Purchase”). Nothing in this Final Judgment shall be construed to: (1) affect any agreements between UTC and/or Goodrich, on the one hand, and Rolls-Royce, on the other, relating to the option to purchase or acquire the Goodrich Aftermarket Business; (2) impose any obligation on UTC to provide Rolls-Royce any extended payments terms with respect to the Right to Purchase; or (3) restrict in any way UTC’s ability to sell the Goodrich Aftermarket Business (in whole or significant part) to a party other than Rolls-Royce. If at any time during which Rolls-Royce may exercise its Right to Purchase, UTC determines to commence a process to sell all or a significant part of the Goodrich Aftermarket Business to a party other than Rolls-Royce, UTC shall first notify Rolls-Royce of UTC’s determination and provide Rolls-Royce with no less than sixty days to exercise its Right to Purchase. If Rolls-Royce does not exercise its Right to Purchase during such sixty-day period, UTC may agree to and complete such a sale, and the Right to Purchase will be suspended for a period of one year from the date the sixty-day period expires to allow the completion of such sale. If UTC ceases its efforts to sell the Goodrich Aftermarket Business at any time during the one-year period when the Right to Purchase is suspended, the Right to Purchase ceases to be suspended when UTC ceases its efforts to sell the Goodrich Aftermarket Business. If such one-year period expires without UTC having completed such a sale, then UTC may not again attempt to sell the Goodrich Aftermarket Business to a party other than Rolls-Royce without first complying with the procedures set forth in this paragraph.

D.Unless the United States otherwise consents in writing, the divestiture of the AEC Shares pursuant to Section VI or by the Divestiture Trustee appointed pursuant to Section VII of this Final Judgment shall be accomplished in such a way as to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, that the AEC Shares can and will be used by the Acquirer of the AEC Shares to carry out the purpose of AEC in an ongoing and viable manner and the divestiture of the AEC Shares will remedy the competitive harm alleged in the Complaint. The divestiture of the AEC Shares, whether pursuant to Section VI or Section VII of this Final Judgment, shall be made to an Acquirer that, in the United States’s sole judgment, has the intent and capability (including the necessary managerial, operational, technical and financial capability) of effectively carrying out the purpose of AEC. The divestiture of the AEC Shares shall be accomplished so as to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, that none of the terms of any agreement between the Acquirer of the AEC Shares and Defendants give Defendants the ability unreasonably to raise the Acquirer’s costs, to lower the Acquirer’s efficiency, or otherwise to interfere in the ability of the Acquirer to compete effectively.

VII. APPOINTMENT OF DIVESTITURE TRUSTEE

A. If Defendants have not divested all of the Divestiture Assets within any of the respective time periods specified in Section IV(A), V(A), and VI(A), they shall notify the United States of that fact in writing at the time the period for the relevant divestiture expires and identify the assets that have not been divested. Upon application of the United States, the Court shall appoint a Divestiture Trustee selected by the United States and approved by the Court to effect the divestiture of any of the Divestiture Assets that have not been sold during the time periods specified in Section IV(A), V(A), and VI(A).

B. After the appointment of a Divestiture Trustee becomes effective, only the Divestiture Trustee shall have the right to sell those Divestiture Assets that the Divestiture Trustee has been appointed to sell. The Divestiture Trustee shall have the power and authority to accomplish the divestiture to an Acquirer or Acquirers acceptable to the United States at such price and on such terms as are then obtainable upon reasonable effort by the Divestiture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section IV, Section V, Section VI, Section VII, and Section VIII of this Final Judgment, and shall have such other powers as this Court deems appropriate. Subject to Section VII(D) of this Final Judgment, the Divestiture Trustee may hire at the cost and expense of UTC any investment bankers, attorneys, or other agents, who shall be solely accountable to the Divestiture Trustee, reasonably necessary in the Divestiture Trustee’s judgment to assist in any required divestiture.

D. The Divestiture Trustee shall serve at the cost and expense of UTC, on such terms and conditions as the United States approves, and shall account for all monies derived from the sale of any of the Divestiture Assets sold by the Divestiture Trustee and all costs and expenses so incurred. After approval by the Court of the Divestiture Trustee’s accounting, including fees for its services and those of any professionals and agents retained by the Divestiture Trustee, all remaining money shall be paid to defendants and the trust shall then be terminated. The compensation of the Divestiture Trustee and any professionals and agents retained by the Divestiture Trustee shall be reasonable in light of the value of the Divestiture Assets that are being sold by the Divestiture Trustee and based on a fee arrangement providing the Divestiture Trustee with an incentive based on the price and terms of the divestiture and the speed with which it is accomplished, but timeliness is paramount.

E. Defendants shall use their best efforts to assist the Divestiture Trustee in accomplishing any required divestiture. The Divestiture Trustee and any consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other persons retained by the Divestiture Trustee shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, records, and facilities of the business to be divested, and Defendants shall develop financial and other information relevant to such business as the Divestiture Trustee may reasonably request, subject to reasonable protection for trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information and compliance with all export control laws and regulations. Defendants shall take no action to interfere with or to impede the Divestiture Trustee’s accomplishment of any required divestiture.

F. After its appointment, the Divestiture Trustee shall file monthly reports with the United States and the Court setting forth the Divestiture Trustee’s efforts to accomplish any divestiture ordered under this Final Judgment. To the extent such reports contain information that the Divestiture Trustee deems confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. Such reports shall include the name, address, and telephone number of each person who, during the preceding month, made an offer to acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations to acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring, any interest in the Divestiture Assets being sold by the Divestiture Trustee, and shall describe in detail each contact with any such person. The Divestiture Trustee shall maintain full records of all efforts made to divest any of the Divestiture Assets.

G.If the Divestiture Trustee has not accomplished any divestiture ordered under this Final Judgment within six months after its appointment, the Divestiture Trustee shall promptly file with the Court a report setting forth: (1) the Divestiture Trustee’s efforts to accomplish the required divestiture; (2) the reasons, in the Divestiture Trustee’s judgment, why the required divestiture has not been accomplished; and (3) the Divestiture Trustee’s recommendations. To the extent such reports contain information that the Divestiture Trustee deems confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. The Divestiture Trustee shall at the same time furnish such report to the United States which shall have the right to make additional recommendations consistent with the purpose of the trust. The Court thereafter shall enter such orders as it shall deem appropriate to carry out the purpose of the Final Judgment, which may, if necessary, include extending the trust and the term of the Divestiture Trustee’s appointment by a period requested by the United States.

VIII. NOTICE OF PROPOSED DIVESTITURE

A.

Defendants and the Divestiture Trustee shall furnish any additional information requested within fifteen calendar days of the receipt of the request, unless the parties shall otherwise agree.

C.

If the United States provides written notice that it does not object, the divestiture may be consummated, subject only to UTC’s limited right to object to the sale under Section VII(C) of this Final Judgment. Absent written notice that the United States does not object to the proposed Acquirer or Acquirers or upon objection by the United States, a divestiture proposed under Section IV, Section V, Section VI, or Section VII shall not be consummated.
