 (the “Optionee”). In

 1. Grant. A Nonqualified Stock Option (the “Option”) is hereby granted by the Options Subcommittee of the Management Development and
Compensation Committee to the Optionee, to purchase that number of shares of Raytheon Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”) set forth below, subject to the following terms and conditions and to the provisions of the
Raytheon Company 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), as amended from time to time, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

	  	$«price»	  	«exercise_date_3»	  	«expire_date»

  
 2. Exercise. An
Option may be exercised through Smith Barney, in the manner set forth in Section 7, specifying the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied (except as otherwise provided in Section 3 below) by full payment for such
shares in the form of check or bank draft payable to the order of Smith Barney or other shares of the Stock with a current Fair Market Value equal to the Option Price of the shares to be purchased. Receipt by Smith Barney of such notice and payment
shall constitute the exercise of the Option or a part thereof. Within 20 days thereafter, Smith Barney shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Optionee a certificate or certificates (or other evidence of ownership) for the number of shares
then being purchased. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. If such shares are not at that time effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Optionee shall include with such notice a letter, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company, confirming that such shares are being purchased for the Optionee’s own account for investment and not with a view to distribution. 
  
 3. Cashless Exercise. In lieu of payment by check, bank draft or other Common Shares, an Optionee may, unless
prohibited by applicable law or Company policy, elect to effect payment by delivering sale instructions to Smith Barney a number of the shares subject to the Option being exercised sufficient, after brokerage commissions, to cover the aggregate
exercise price of such Option and, if the Optionee further elects, the Optionee’s withholding obligations with respect to such exercise referred to in Section 15.8 of the Plan, together with irrevocable instructions to Smith Barney to sell such
shares and to remit directly to the Company such aggregate exercise price and, if the Optionee has so elected, the amount of such withholding obligation. The Company shall not be required to deliver to Smith Barney any stock certificate (or other
evidence of ownership) for such shares until it has received from Smith Barney such exercise price and, if the Optionee has so elected, such withholding obligation amount. 
  
 4. Cessation of Active Service. If an Optionee ceases to be an active employee, consultant or non-employee Director
of the Company or any Affiliate other than by reason of death or retirement, absent in any case a determination by the Committee to the contrary, any Options which were exercisable by the Optionee on the date of cessation of active employment may be
exercised no later than the earlier of (a) the expiration date of the Option or (b) the respective periods listed below. 
  

			
	 Reason for Cessation of Active Employment

	  	 Period Following Last Day of Active Employment
 Within Which Option May Be Exercised


	 Medical Leave of Absence
	  	During such leave
	 Discharge for Cause or other severance of employment determined by Committee to warrant termination of option
	  	None
	 Layoff or other involuntary termination without Cause
	  	Three Years
	 Voluntary termination (non-retirement)
	  	Three Months

  
 5. Death of
Optionee. If an Optionee’s employment terminates because of death, the Options shall be fully vested automatically without regard to whether any applicable vesting requirements in the Grant Agreement have been fulfilled, and the Options may
be exercised at any time before the expiration date, but only by the Optionee’s estate or by the person(s) who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Optionee.








 6. Retirement of Optionee. If an Optionee’s employment terminates because of Retirement, any
Options which were granted at least one year prior to the date of termination of employment will vest in accordance with the Vesting Period specified in the Grant Agreement and may be exercised any time before their expiration date, provided such
Options are exercisable on the exercise date. 
  
 7. Procedure
for Exercise. The Option may be exercised by the Optionee (or in the event of the Optionee’s death the persons specified in Section 5) by calling a Smith Barney customer service representative or by accessing the Smith Barney online benefit
website. The Optionee must remit to Smith Barney notice and payment pursuant to the procedure specified in Section 2 above (except as otherwise provided in Section 3 above) to complete the Option exercise. The date of exercise shall be the date such
notice is received by Smith Barney (provided full payment, required by Section 2, or evidence required by Section 3, is tendered therewith) unless a later date is specified in the notice. 
  
 8. Withholding Taxes. The Company or Smith Barney shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the
Company, or to withhold from other amounts payable to the Optionee as compensation or otherwise, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. 
  
 9. Disposition of the Option. The Option may be exercised only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, by
legatees of such Optionee under the Optionee’s will or by his or her executors, personal representatives or distributees and may not be transferred other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Option shall not
otherwise be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for any purpose whatsoever and shall not be subject, in whole or in part, to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or hypothecation or other
disposition of the Option, other than in accordance with the terms set forth herein, shall be void and of no effect. 
  
 10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Optionee nor any other person entitled to exercise the Option under the terms hereof shall be
considered a stockholder or have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option unless and until certificates for Common Shares are issued to him or her
upon payment in full of the option exercise price in the manner specified herein and in the Plan. 
  
 11. Rights as Employee. The grant of the Option confers upon the Optionee no right to continued employment by the Company or its
subsidiaries. 
  
 12. Additional Restrictions. The Option
shall be exercised in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Management Development and Compensation Committee (or the Options Subcommittee thereof) of the Company’s Board of Directors shall from time to time adopt to the extent not
inconsistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Plan and Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 13. Government Regulations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to issue or deliver
certificates evidencing the Common Shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 
  
 14. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the day and year first above written.
