Exhibit 10(e)



AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR

TO THE

HARRIS CORPORATION RETIREMENT PLAN




          WHEREAS, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), heretofore
has adopted and maintains the Harris Corporation Retirement Plan, as amended and restated effective
July 1, 2007 (the “Plan”);




          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 17.1 of the Plan, the Management Development and Compensation
Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) has the
authority to amend the Plan;




          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee has delegated to the
Employee Benefits Committee of the Corporation (the “Employee Benefits Committee”) the
authority to adopt non-material amendments to the Plan;




          WHEREAS, the Employee Benefits Committee desires to amend the Plan to provide that during any
period in which no direction as to the investment of a participant’s account is on file, in the
event that the Corporation has no record of such participant’s age, contributions made for such
participant’s benefit during such period shall be invested in the Balanced Fund until such
participant’s age can be determined, at which time all such contributions made for such
participant’s benefit during such period shall be transferred to an age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund;




          WHEREAS, the Employee Benefits Committee desires to amend further the Plan to provide that a
participant’s vested account shall be distributed in a lump sum, without the participant’s consent,
upon his or her termination of employment only if the value of such vested account does not exceed
$1,000 (as opposed to $5,000, as currently set forth in the Plan); and




          WHEREAS, the Employee Benefits Committee has determined that the above-described amendments
are non-material.




 









 








          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Plan hereby is amended, effective as of November 6,
2008, as follows:





	 	1.	 	The final sentence of Section 8.2(a) hereby is amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	 	During any period in which no direction as to the investment of a Participant’s
Account is on file with the Administrative Committee (a “Default Period”),
contributions made for a Participant’s benefit shall be invested in an
age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund (or, if the Employers have no record of the
Participant’s age, in the Balanced Fund until such Participant’s age can be
determined, at which time all such contributions made for such Participant’s benefit
during the Default Period shall be transferred to an age-appropriate LifeCycle Fund).
	 
	 	2.	 	Section 9.4 hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:






     Section 9.4. Payment of Small Account Balances.
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.3 to the contrary and subject to Section
9.6, if a Participant’s vested Account does not exceed $1,000, then such Account
shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the Participant’s termination of
employment in the form of a lump sum payment to the Participant or his or her
Beneficiary, as the case may be.



          APPROVED
by the HARRIS CORPORATION EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMITTEE on this 7th  day of November,
2008.
