HARRIS CORPORATION
2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(AS OF AUGUST 24, 2017)
(Executive Officers)




1.    Restricted Unit Award - Terms and Conditions.  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”), Harris Corporation (the “Corporation”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “Employee”) a Restricted Unit Award (the “Award”) of such number of restricted units as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee (such units, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1(c) of these Terms and Conditions, the “Restricted Units”). At all times, each Restricted Unit shall be equal in value to one share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation (a “Share”).  Such Award, which is intended to be a Qualified Performance Based 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 Restricted Units subject to the Award, the Restriction Period, the form of payment of the Award and certain other terms (the “Award Notice”) and the Statement of Performance Goals (as defined below) related thereto, are referred to as the “Agreement”).


(a)    Restriction Period; Performance Condition.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Restriction Period is the period beginning on the grant date and ending as set forth in the Award Notice (the “Restriction Period”).  The Board Committee may, in accordance with the Plan and to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code (if applicable), accelerate the expiration of the Restriction Period as to some or all of the Restricted Units at any time, which may cause the Award not to be a Qualified Performance Based Award.  As set forth in Section 3, the Award includes a performance condition (the “Performance Condition”) such that vesting and payout rights are contingent upon attainment during the performance period (the “Performance Period”) of the performance objective(s) set forth in the Award Notice or Statement of Performance Goals (however designated) delivered or made available to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “Statement of Performance Goals”).  The Board, the Board Committee, or its designee shall make the final determination as to whether the Performance Condition has been satisfied as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Performance Period, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the expiration of the Performance Period.


(b)    Payout of Award.  Provided the Board, the Board Committee, or its designee has made the final determination that the Performance Condition has been satisfied and the Award otherwise has not previously been forfeited, as soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Restriction Period, (i) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall issue to the Employee in a single payment the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units to which the Employee is entitled; or (ii) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in cash, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee a single lump sum cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the date of the expiration of the Restriction Period) of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units to which the Employee is entitled. If the Award is to be paid in Shares, upon payout the Corporation shall at its option, cause such Shares as to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto: (i) to be released without restriction on transfer by delivery to the custody of the Employee of a stock certificate in the name of the Employee or 











his or her designee or (ii) to be credited without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee.


(c)    Rights During Restriction Period; Dividend Equivalents.  
(i)    During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted Units.  
(ii)    If, at any time during the Restriction Period, the Corporation pays a dividend or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, (A) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, then on or about the date the Restricted Units are paid in Shares and the Corporation issues to the Employee the Shares underlying the Restricted Units to which the Employee is entitled, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee the dividends or other distributions paid or payable during the Restriction Period on the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units to which the Employee is entitled, or (B) if the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in cash, then on or about the date the Restricted Units are paid in cash to the Employee, the Corporation shall pay to the Employee the dividends or other distributions paid or payable during the Restriction Period on the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units to which the Employee is entitled.  No such dividends or other distributions will be paid in respect of Restricted Units that are forfeited or cancelled.  No interest shall be paid on any such dividends or distributions.  If any such dividend or other distribution is paid in securities of the Corporation (including Shares), such dividend equivalents in respect of such securities relating to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the Restricted Units in respect of which such dividend equivalents were paid and shall be paid to the Employee in the manner and at the time the Restricted Units are paid.  
(iii)    If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.  If the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.


2.    Prohibition Against Transfer.  Until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted 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, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement 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.


3.    Forfeiture; Performance Condition; Termination of Employment. 


(a)    Except in the event of a Change in Control covered by Section 4 herein, it shall be a 











condition to the vesting of Restricted Units and the payment of Shares or cash following the expiration of the Restriction Period that the Performance Condition shall have been satisfied and that the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ of the Corporation for a minimum of one year from the grant date (the “Minimum Vesting Period”), and in the event that either the Performance Condition or the Minimum Vesting Period is not satisfied, the Award and any Restricted Units or right to payment of Shares or cash shall be immediately forfeited as of the earlier of the end of the Performance Period in the case of the Performance Condition not having been satisfied or the Employee’s termination of employment with the Corporation in the case of the Minimum Vesting Period not having been satisfied.  Except in the event of the death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) of the Employee covered in Section 3(b) herein or a Change in Control covered in Section 4 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation following satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period but prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period:


(i)    for any reason other than (x) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service or (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, all Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment (irrespective of the Performance Condition having been or becoming satisfied); or


(ii)    due to (x) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service or (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, then, subject to the Performance Condition having been or becoming satisfied, the Employee shall be vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award, and the remaining portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited as of the date of such retirement or termination of employment.  Such pro-rata portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of days of the Restriction Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the denominator is the number of days of the Restriction Period.  The Restriction Period shall immediately expire with respect to such pro-rata portion that is vested pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii), if any, and the payout in respect of such pro-rata portion shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period; provided, however, that if the final determination as to whether the Performance Condition has been satisfied has not occurred as of the date of such retirement or termination of employment, then such vesting and immediate expiration of the Restriction Period shall occur only upon the final determination that the Performance Condition has been satisfied (or such earlier time as required by Section 409A of the Code) and the timing of the resulting payout shall be made based thereon and relative thereto; provided further, however, that if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death), but in any event, subject to the first proviso of this Section 3(a)(ii).  “Misconduct” shall mean deliberate, willful or gross misconduct, as determined by the Corporation.  


(b)    If the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation following satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period but prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period due to death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), then, subject to the Performance Condition having been or becoming satisfied, the Employee’s heirs or beneficiaries or the Employee, as applicable, shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award.  











In such event, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire, and the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award as of the date of the Employee’s death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), if any, shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period; provided, however, that if the final determination as to whether the Performance Condition has been satisfied has not occurred as of the date of the Employee’s death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), then such vesting and immediate expiration of the Restriction Period shall occur only upon the final determination that the Performance Condition has been satisfied (or such earlier time as required by Section 409A of the Code) and the timing of the resulting payout shall be made based thereon and relative thereto; provided further, however, that in the case of the immediate expiration of the Restriction Period due to permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(b), if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date he or she ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death), but in any event, subject to the first proviso of this Section 3(b).


4.    Change in Control.  Upon a Change in Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), then the Performance Condition shall automatically be waived and the Employee shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire and the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control that does not qualify as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), then the Performance Condition shall automatically be waived and the Employee shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award; provided, however, that such Restricted Units shall continue to be subject to the Restriction Period until the expiration thereof, at which time the payout in respect of the Restricted Units shall be made in the form and at the time specified in Section 1(b), 3(a)(ii) or 3(b), as applicable (and deeming Section 3(a)(ii) to apply (but not requiring satisfaction of the Performance Condition) in the event that the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period for any reason other than death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation)).  For avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change in Control following the Employee’s termination of employment but prior to the payout in respect of either a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award pursuant to the first proviso of Section 3(a)(ii) or the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award pursuant to the first proviso of Section 3(b), then the final determination that the Performance Condition has been satisfied, and the vesting and immediate expiration of the Restriction Period pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) or Section 3(b), as applicable, in each case shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of such Change in Control.


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


(a)Non-Solicitation.

(c)Non-Competition.  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 5(c) shall preclude the Employee from owning up to 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 5(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.  This Section 5(e) will apply in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other confidentiality or non‐disclosure agreement that may exist, now or in the future, between the Employee and the Corporation.


(f)Consideration and Acknowledgment.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees to each of the following: (i) the Employee’s acceptance of the Award 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 Award is expressly contingent upon the Employee’s agreement with the Corporation contained in Sections 5 and 6; (iv) the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 5 are fair and reasonable; (v) if any provisions of Sections 5(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 5(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.

(as of the date such Shares were transferred by the Employee) in cash and any such return of Shares or payment of cash by the Employee which requires action on the part of the Employee shall be made within five (5) business days following receipt of written demand therefore.


(b)    Additional Relief.  The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that: (i) the remedy provided for in Section 6(a) shall not be the exclusive remedy available to the Corporation for a breach of the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and shall not limit the Corporation from seeking damages or injunctive relief; and (ii) the Corporation’s remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Corporation against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), and therefore, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity (including, but not limited to, the rights under Section 6(a)), in addition to and cumulative with such rights, the Corporation shall be entitled to the granting of injunctive relief in its favor and to specific performance without proof of actual damages and without the requirement of posting of any bond or similar security.

(d)    Change in Control.  If a Change in Control shall occur, the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect.


7.    Securities Law Requirements.  If the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares pursuant to the Award, to the extent required, unless and until (a) such Shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Corporation’s Common Stock is then registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such Shares is then effective.


8.    Board Committee Administration.  The Board Committee shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan as in effect from time to time, to construe these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board Committee necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.  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.


9.    Adjustments.  Unusual or non-recurring losses or charges which are separately identified and quantified in the Corporation’s audited financial statements and notes thereto including, but not limited to, extraordinary items, changes in tax laws, changes in generally accepted accounting principles, impact of discontinued operations, restructuring charges, or restatement of prior period financial results, shall be excluded from the calculation of performance results for purposes of the Plan and determining whether the Performance Condition has been satisfied.  However, the Board Committee can choose to include any or all such unusual or non-recurring items as long as inclusion of each such item causes the Award to be reduced.


10.    Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements upon Awards. If any of the Corporation’s financial statements are restated, as a result of errors, omissions, or fraud, the Board Committee may (in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith) direct that the Corporation recover all or a portion of any Award or payment made to the Employee with respect to any fiscal year of the Corporation the financial results of 











which are negatively affected by such restatement. The amount to be recovered shall be the amount by which the affected Award or payment exceeded the amount that would have been payable had the financial statements been initially filed as restated, or any greater or lesser amount (including, but not limited to, the entire Award) that the Board Committee shall determine. The Board Committee shall determine whether the Corporation shall effect any such recovery: (a) by seeking repayment from the Employee; (b) by 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) by 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) by 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 shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.


12.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Employee.  The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Employee).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Employee with respect to any income recognized by the Employee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Employee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Employee in connection with the Agreement.  Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.


13.    Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery.  By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with this Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).


14.    Miscellaneous.  These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 12 of the Agreement, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee.  The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or
