Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “Terms and Conditions”), L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation” which was formerly named “Harris Corporation”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “Employee”) a Performance Stock Option Award (the “Award”) consisting of a Non-Qualified Stock Option with performance-based vesting and forfeiture conditions (the “Option”) to purchase such number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (“Shares” and each, a “Share”) at such designated exercise price per share as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee.  Such Award is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter or notice to the Employee specifying the date as of which the Award is granted (the “Grant Date”), the number of Shares subject to the Award and issuable upon exercise of the Option, the exercise price and certain other terms (the “Award Notice”) and the Statement of Performance Goals (as defined below) related thereto, are referred to as the “Agreement”).


2.    Vesting and Exercisability; Impact of Termination of Employment


(a)    Except as set forth in Section 2(a)(i)-(iii) and Section 2(e), the Option shall not vest or be exercisable to any extent unless the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ of the Corporation for the period from the Grant Date through June 29, 2022 (the “Service Period”), in which case the Option shall vest and become exercisable as provided in Section 2(d), and if such continuous employment for the Service Period is not satisfied, the Option, shall terminate immediately upon the Employee’s termination of employment with the Corporation.  


(i)    If, prior to expiration of the Service Period and before an event described in Section 2(e), the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation due to involuntary termination by the Corporation other than for Cause (as defined below) or voluntary termination by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Option shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period in a portion (the “Eligible Vesting Portion”) of the number of Shares as to which the Option otherwise would have vested under the Award upon expiration of the Service Period determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, and the remaining portion of the Option shall be immediately and automatically forfeited.  The Eligible Vesting Portion shall be determined based on the date of such termination as set forth in the following table:


	
		
	Termination Date
	Eligible Vesting Portion of  
Option / Shares Subject to Award

	Prior to June 29, 2020
	1/3 (one third)

	On or after June 29, 2020, but prior to June 29, 2021
	2/3 (two thirds)

	On or after June 29, 2021 and through June 29, 2022
	100.00%






The Eligible Vesting Portion of the Option that remains outstanding and eligible to vest and become exercisable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a)(i) shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest and if it vests shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date (as defined below), subject to early termination of an Option upon a Change in Control in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  


Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a termination of employment of the Employee (x) by the Employee for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control described in Section 2(e), or (y) by the Corporation other than for Cause, whether or not prior to the expiration of the Service Period, to the extent vested, the Option may be exercised by the Employee, but only until the Expiration Date.


(ii)    Death.  In the event, prior to expiration of the Service Period, of the death of the Employee (x) while employed by the Corporation, or (y) following the Employee’s cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, the Option shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to the number of Shares subject to the Award at the target level of performance, as set forth in the Award Notice and/or Statement of Performance Goals (such number, the “Target Number of Shares” and such target level, the “Target Performance Level”), and may be exercised by the Employee’s Beneficiary (as defined below) but only until the earlier of (A) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such death or (B) the Expiration Date.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, in the event of the death of the Employee following expiration of the Service Period or following termination of or cessation of employment with the Corporation, unless the first sentence of this Section 2(a)(ii) is applicable, the Option may be exercised by the Employee’s Beneficiary but only until the earlier of (I) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such death or (II) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable on the day immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s death.  


(iii)    Disability.  In the event, prior to expiration of the Service Period, of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, the Option shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to the Target Number of Shares and unless the first sentence of Section 2(a)(ii) becomes applicable, may be exercised by the Employee until the earlier of (x) the date that is twelve (12) months following such cessation of employment due to permanent disability or (y) the Expiration Date.  In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation following expiration of the Service Period, the Option may be exercised by the Employee but only until the earlier of (I) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such cessation of employment or (II) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable on the day immediately prior to the date of such cessation of employment. 


(iv)    Retirement.  In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to retirement of the Employee after reaching age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service with the Corporation on or after June 29, 2020, the Option (x) to the extent unvested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited and (y) to the extent vested, may be exercised by the Employee but only until the Expiration Date.


(v)    Other Voluntary Termination.  In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to voluntary termination by the Employee without Good Reason (other than as described in Section 2(a)(iv)), the Option (x) to the extent unvested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited and (y) to the extent vested, may be exercised by the Employee but only until the earlier of (A) the date that is ninety (90) days following such termination of employment or (B) the Expiration Date.


(vi)    Termination for Cause.  The Option, regardless of the extent to which it previously may have vested, shall immediately expire and be forfeited in its entirety and shall not be exercisable if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation due to a termination of the Employee’s employment for Cause.


(vii)    For purposes of the Agreement:


1)“Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of either of the following events following June 29, 2019 and prior to the later of (x) the end of the Service Period or (y) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of a Change in Control described in Section 2(e): (a) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in the Employee’s annual base salary (or wage rate, as applicable) or (b) a requirement that the Employee be based at another location not within fifty (50) miles of the location where the Employee was, or was contemplated to be, regularly employed based on the role contemplated for the Employee following June 29, 2019 (except for required travel on business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s duties and responsibilities); provided, that, in each case, (i) the Employee shall provide the Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstance(s) alleged to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the first occurrence of such circumstance(s), (ii) the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstance(s) and (iii) if the Corporation has not cured such circumstance(s) within such thirty (30)-day period, the Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period; and 
 
2)“Cause” means:


a.    A material breach by the Employee of the duties and responsibilities of the Employee (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (i) demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the Employee’s part, (ii) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (iii) not remedied within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such breach has occurred, or 


b.    The Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony involving willful misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation. 


(b)    During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Employee, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2(a) or 2(e), only while the Employee continues as an employee of the Corporation.


(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, the Option shall expire no later than ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”) and shall not be exercisable thereafter.


(d)    Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice or this Section 2, the Option shall vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period as to a number of Shares that is contingent on the attainment during the period ending December 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”) of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”).  Such number of Shares (the “Vested Option Shares”) shall be determined upon expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals, with the final determination of the Vested Option Shares authorized by the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee as soon as administratively practicable following expiration of the Performance Period.


(e)    Upon a Change in Control of the Corporation following the Grant Date but prior to the end of the Performance Period, the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period upon the occurrence of such Change in Control at the Target Performance Level under such performance objectives for purposes of determining the Vested Option Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof as to which the Option shall be eligible to vest and become exercisable upon expiration of the Service Period; provided, however, that, following such Change in Control but prior to the end of the Service Period, the Service Period shall expire and the Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to the Vested Option Shares so eligible to vest immediately upon the earliest of: (w) death of the Employee, (x) cessation of employment due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, or (z) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months following such Change in Control, and in any such case, such Option shall remain exercisable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii).  In the event of the Employee’s retirement, voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason) or termination for Cause, the Option shall expire and be forfeited as set forth in Section 2(a)(iv), (v) and (iv).    


Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(e) to the contrary, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to such Change in Control due to either (I) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause or (II) voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason, and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination other than for Cause, or the circumstance(s) constituting Good Reason was in connection with integration planning for such Change in Control, then for all purposes of the Agreement, the date of such Change in Control shall be deemed to be the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. 


(f)    Adjustment to the Award.  The number of Shares subject to the Award, as well as the Target Number of Shares and the threshold number of Shares (as set forth in the Award Notice, corresponding to the threshold level of performance under the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals), are based on the assumption that the Employee shall continue to perform substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and such numbers of Shares may be reduced or increased by the Board, the Board Committee or its designee without formal amendment of the Agreement to reflect a change in the Employee’s duties during the Performance Period.
 
3.    Exercise of Option.  The Option may be exercised by delivering to the Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (a) a written notice, signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option, stating the designated number of Shares such person then elects to purchase; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Corporation, notice sent through an approved electronic means may be substituted for a signed, written notice, (b) payment in an amount equal to the full exercise price for the Shares to be purchased, and (c) if the Option is exercised by any person other than the Employee, such as the Employee’s Beneficiary, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such person has the right to exercise the Option.  Payment of the exercise price shall be made (i) in cash, (ii) in previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or (iii) in any combination of cash and such shares.  In addition to the foregoing, subject to the consent of the Corporation at the time of exercise in a manner consistent with Plan, the Option may be exercised in a “net exercise”, pursuant to which the Corporation shall reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed such exercise price and shall accept a cash or other payment from the undersigned to the extent of any remaining balance of such exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued (provided, however, that Shares will no longer be outstanding under the Option to the extent of such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued that are used to pay such exercise price pursuant to such “net exercise”).  Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price that have been acquired through an exercise of a stock option must have been held at least six (6) months prior to exercise of the Option and shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of such exercise.  Upon the exercise of the Option, the Corporation shall cause the Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised to be issued and delivered by crediting such Shares without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee or the Employee’s Beneficiary maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee, subject to applicable withholdings and satisfaction thereof (including, if the Corporation elects, through the Corporation retaining Shares otherwise issuable or cash otherwise to be delivered) as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan.  The Employee does not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any Shares as to which the Option shall not have been duly exercised and no rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the proper exercise of such Option.


4.    Prohibition Against Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary.  The Option and rights granted by the Corporation under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death.  The Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “Employee’s Beneficiary”) to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under Section 2(a)(ii) following the Employee’s death.  To be effective, such designation must be made in accordance with such rules and on such form as prescribed by the Corporation for such purpose, which completed form must be received by the office of the Corporate Secretary prior to the Employee’s death.  If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee’s death, the Employee’s estate shall be deemed the Employee’s Beneficiary.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, the Option may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process.  Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.


5.    Employment by Corporation, Subsidiary or Successor; Termination or Cessation of Employment.  For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (a) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (b) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation) and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked.  


6.    Protective Covenants.  In consideration of, among other things, the grant of the Option to the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees, by acceptance of the Option, to the following provisions:  


(a)    Non-Solicitation.  During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other employer or any other business, person or entity: (i) recruit, induce, Solicit or attempt to recruit, induce or Solicit any Individual Employed by the Corporation to terminate, abandon or otherwise leave or discontinue employment with the Corporation; or (ii) hire or cause or assist any Individual Employed by the Corporation to become employed by or provide services to any other business, person or entity whether as an employee, consultant, contractor or otherwise.

During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, officer, director, principal, lender or investor, engage or otherwise participate in any activities with, or provide services to, a Competitive Business, without the prior written consent of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources or other designated executive officer of the Corporation (which consent shall be at such officer’s discretion to give or withhold).  Nothing in this Section 6(c) shall preclude the Employee from owning up to one percent (1%) of the equity in any publicly traded company.


(d)    No Disparagement or Detrimental Comments.  During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Corporation or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns.  Nothing in this Section 6(d) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Employee from providing truthful testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Employee’s duties in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation.


(e)    Confidentiality.  During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Corporation and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any third party received by the Corporation which the Corporation is obligated to keep confidential.

(f)    Consideration and Acknowledgment.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees to each of the following: (i) the Employee’s acceptance of the Option and participation in the Plan is voluntary; (ii) the benefits and rights provided by the Agreement and Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Corporation, do not constitute regular or periodic payments; (iii) the benefits and compensation provided under the Agreement are in addition to the benefits and compensation that otherwise are or would be available to the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation, and the grant of the Option is expressly contingent upon the Employee’s agreement with the Corporation contained in Sections 6 and 7; (iv) the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 6 are fair and reasonable; (v) if any provisions of Sections 6(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the court making such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable, and if the provision is not capable of being modified or revised so that it is enforceable, it shall be excised from these Terms and Conditions without affecting the enforceability of the remaining provisions; and (vi) the time period of the Employee’s obligations under Sections 6(a), ( b) and (c) shall be extended by a period equal to the length of any breach of those obligations by the Employee, in addition to any and all other remedies provided by these Terms and Conditions or otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity.  The Employee further understands and acknowledges that nothing contained in the Agreement limits the Employee’s ability (1) to report possible violations of law or regulation to, or file a charge or complaint with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Justice, the Congress, any Inspector General, or any other Federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”); (2) to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Corporation; or (3) under applicable United States Federal law to (i) disclose in confidence trade secrets to Federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

The Board Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.


10.    Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements.  If any of the Corporation’s financial statements for any fiscal year(s) included in the Performance Period are restated after the Performance Period, whether as a result of errors, omissions or fraud, and the financial results of such fiscal year(s) are negatively affected, the Board Committee (in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith): (a) if the Option has not been exercised, may reduce the number of Shares as to which the Option has vested and become exercisable to the number of Shares as to which the Option would have vested and become exercisable if the financial statements had been initially filed as restated; or (b) if the Option has been exercised, may direct that the Corporation recover (i) all or a portion of any Shares issued upon exercise of the Option that exceeded the number of Shares that would have been issued upon exercise of the Option, and (ii) any amount by which a payment received by the Employee as a result of selling Shares issued upon exercise of the Option exceeded the amount that would have been payable as a result of selling such Shares, in each case, if the financial statements had been initially filed as restated, or any greater or lesser amount (including, but not limited to, the entire Award, all Shares issued upon exercise of the Option and any amount received by the Employee as a result of selling Shares issued upon exercise of the Option) that the Board Committee shall determine.  The Board Committee shall determine whether the Corporation shall effect any such recovery by: (A) seeking repayment from the Employee; (B) reducing the amount that would otherwise be payable to the Employee under any compensatory plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Corporation, a Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates; (C) withholding payment of future increases in compensation (including the payment of any discretionary bonus amount) or grants of compensatory awards that would otherwise have been made in accordance with the Corporation’s otherwise applicable compensation practices; or (D) any combination of the foregoing or otherwise (subject, in each of subclause (B), (C) and (D), to applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement). This Section 10 shall be a non-exclusive remedy, and nothing in this Section 10 shall preclude the Corporation from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to or in lieu of this Section 10.


11.    Incorporation of Plan Provisions.  These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan.
