Form of Change in Control Severance Agreement



 Exhibit 10.22 
 Form of 
 Raytheon Company 
 Change In Control Severance Agreement 
 Agreement by and between Raytheon Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                     (“Executive”) dated as of
                    , 201    . 
 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, becomes 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 consummation of: (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 incentive
programs as such opportunities exist immediately prior to a Change in Control;

such opportunities exist immediately prior to a Change in Control;

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.

(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;

supplemental retirement plan, Executive’s actual pay history as of the Qualifying Termination shall be used; and 

  

	 	(vii)	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
