 security interest in the assets of that subsidiary or holding any indebtedness of that subsidiary senior to that held by Northrop Grumman. Northrop Grumman may also elect to issue or incur debt which is guaranteed by one or more of its subsidiaries, in which case the notes would be structurally subordinated to the new debt. Certain covenants The indenture governing the notes limits our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, among other things, to:

| • |     | create liens without equally and ratably securing the notes, unless an exception applies; and |

| • |     | engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions. |

The indenture also limits our ability to engage in certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, as described in the sections titled “ Description of Senior Debt Securities—Obligations Under the Indenture” and “ Description of Senior Debt Securities—Consolidation, Merger or Sale” in the accompanying prospectus. Information concerning the trustee The Bank of New York Mellon has its principal corporate trust office at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286. The indenture limits the right of the trustee, if it becomes our creditor, to obtain payment of claims or secure its claims. The trustee is permitted to engage in certain other transactions. If the trustee acquires any conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, however, and there is a default under the debt securities of any series under the indenture for which it is trustee, the trustee must eliminate the conflict or resign. In the ordinary course of its business, The Bank of New York Mellon and its affiliates have engaged and may in the future engage in commercial and investment banking transactions with us or our subsidiaries. We have designated the trustee as our sole initial paying agent and registrar for the notes. Governing law The indenture and the notes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. S-14
