EXHIBIT 10(j)

HARRIS CORPORATION

2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(AS OF 10/28/05)

     1. Restricted Unit Award — Terms and Conditions. Under and subject to the provisions
of the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”),
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 and designated in writing by the Corporation to the Employee (the “Restricted
Units”). At all times, each Restricted Unit shall be equal in value to one share of common stock,
$1.00 par value, of the Corporation (a “Share”). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and
Conditions (which together with the Corporation’s letter to the Employee specifying the number of
Restricted Units subject to the Award, the Restriction Period and the form of payment of the Award
(the “Award Letter”) is referred to as the “Agreement”).

          (a) Restriction Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the Restriction Period is the
period beginning on the grant date and ending as set forth in the Award Letter (the “Restriction
Period”). The Board Committee may, in accordance with the Plan, accelerate the expiration of the
Restriction Period as to some or all of the Restricted Units at any time.

          (b) Payout of Award. Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, within two
and one-half months of the expiration of the Restriction Period and upon the satisfaction of the
applicable withholding obligations, (i) if the Award Letter specifies that the Restricted Units
are to be paid in Shares, the Corporation shall issue to the Employee the number of Shares
underlying the Restricted Units on the date of the expiration of the Restriction Period; or (ii)
if the Award Letter 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 defined
in the Plan) of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units on the date of the expiration
of the Restriction Period. 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 of a stock certificate in the name of the
Employee or his or her designee, and the certificate shall be released to the custody of the
Employee, 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. During the Restriction Period, the Employee
shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted
Units. During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall be entitled to receive dividend
equivalents, in cash, paid with respect to the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units.
Such dividend equivalents will be paid to the Employee as soon as is practicable following payment
of the dividend to shareholders of the Shares, but no later than the

1

 

end of the calendar year in which the corresponding actual cash dividends are paid to
shareholders of the Shares. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in securities of the
Corporation (including Shares), such dividend equivalents relating to the Restricted Units shall be
subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the Restricted Units in respect of which such
dividend or distribution was made and shall be paid to the Employee in the manner and at the time
the Restricted Units are paid in accordance with Section 1(b). If the number of outstanding Shares
is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional
consideration to the Corporation, the number of Restricted Units subject to this Award shall be
adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding Shares. If the Award Letter
specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the
Restriction Period and payout of the Award pursuant to Section 1(b), 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 to Section 1(b).

     2. Prohibition Against Transfer. Until the expiration of the Restriction Period, 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 Letter) or cash to be paid, as applicable,
related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are
nontransferable except to family members or trust by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, provided that the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, and any interest
in the Shares or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto may not be so transferred to
family members or trust except as permitted by applicable law or regulations. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Restriction Period,
the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, and any interest in the Shares (in the case
of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Letter) or cash to be paid, as
applicable, related thereto may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of and shall not be assignable by operation of law,
and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, change, alienation or similar process. Any
attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

     3. Forfeiture; Termination of Employment. Other than in the event of a Change of
Control covered in Section 4 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Letter, if the Employee
ceases to be an employee of the Corporation or of one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to
the expiration of the Restriction Period: (i) for any reason other than (a) death, (b) disability,
or (c) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years full-time service, all Restricted Units
awarded to the Employee hereunder shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of
employment; or (ii) due to (a) death, (b) disability, or (c) retirement after the Employee has
reached age 55 and has ten or more years of full-time service, the Employee shall be eligible to
receive a pro-rata portion of the payout of the Restricted Units following such death, disability,
or retirement after the Employee has reached age 55 and has ten or more years of full-time service,
such pro-rata portion to be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of full
months of the Restriction Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the
denominator is the full number of months of the Restriction Period. For purposes of this Section
3, only employment for 15 days or more of a month shall be deemed employment for a full month.
Following Employee’s death, disability, or retirement after the Employee has reached age 55 and has
ten or more years of full-time service, the Restriction Period shall expire for such number of
Restricted Units that the Employee shall be eligible to receive as determined

2

 

above and shall be paid out in accordance with Section 1(b) and the remaining Restricted Units
shall be automatically forfeited; provided, however, that if the Employee is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) and if so required by Section
409A, such payment shall occur six months following the Employee’s “separation from service” with
the Corporation (determined in accordance with Section 409A).

     4. Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control of the Corporation as defined in
Section 11.1 of the Plan, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire and the Award shall be
paid out immediately upon the occurrence of such Change of Control in accordance with Section 1(b).

     5. 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, 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 to terminate the Employee’s employment or
service with the Corporation at any time and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by
these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. If the Award is assumed or
a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to,
any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or
subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the
Corporation.

     6. Securities Law Requirements. If the Award Letter 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 stock is then registered; and (b) a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such Shares is then effective.

     7. 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.

     8. Incorporation of Plan Provisions. These Terms and Conditions and the other
portions of 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.

3

 

     9. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. (a) 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 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).

          (b) To the extent the Employee has a right to receive payment pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, the
payment is subject to Section 409A, and the event triggering the right to payment does not
constitute a permitted distribution event under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3 above, issuance of the payment of the Award
will be made, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the Employee on
the earlier of (a) the Employee’s “separation from service” with the Corporation (determined in
accordance with Section 409A); provided, however, that if the Employee is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), the Employee’s date of payment of the
Award shall be the date that is six months after the date of the Employee’s separation of service
with the Corporation; (b) the date of the end of the Restriction Period; (c) the Employee’s death;
or (d) the Employee’s disability (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code).

          (c) 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.

circumstances then existing. The Vendor acknowledges that each of the Purchaser, TLS and PharmaCo
has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the Warranties. The Warranties are subject to:

	(a)	 	any matter which is fairly and reasonably disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or expressly
provided for under the terms of this Agreement;

	(b)	 	in respect of the Purchaser, any matter or thing hereafter done or omitted to be done
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise at the request in writing or with the approval in
writing of TLS (on behalf of the Purchaser);

Page 8

 

	(c)	 	in respect of TLS, any matter or thing hereafter done or omitted to be done pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise at the request in writing or with the approval in writing of TLS; and

	(d)	 	in respect of PharmaCo, any matter or thing hereafter done or omitted to be done pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise at the request in writing or with the approval in writing of
PharmaCo.

9.2 The Vendor agrees to waive the benefit of all rights (if any) which it may have against any
Group Company, or any present or former officer or employee of any such company, on whom the Vendor
may have relied in agreeing to any term of this Agreement or any statement set out in the
Disclosure Letter and the Vendor undertakes not to make any claim in respect of such reliance.

9.3 Each of the Warranties shall be construed as a separate Warranty and (save as expressly
provided to the contrary) shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from the
terms of any other Warranty or any other term of this Agreement.

9.4 The Vendor undertakes to notify the Purchaser, TLS and PharmaCo in writing promptly if it
becomes aware of any facts or circumstances arising after the date of the Disclosure Letter and
prior to Newco3 Completion which would cause any Warranty (if the Warranties were repeated with
reference to the facts and circumstances then existing) to become untrue or inaccurate or
misleading in any respect which is material to the business, financial or trading position of the
Group taken as a whole (a Material Breach).

9.5 If, at any time before Newco3 Completion, there is a Material Breach of any of the Warranties,
TLS (on behalf of the Purchaser) may give notice in writing to the Vendor requiring the Vendor to
rectify such Material Breach. If such Material Breach is not rectified within 7 days from the date
of TLS’ notice or if such Material Breach is not capable of being rectified, the Vendor and TLS (on
behalf of the Purchaser) shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing in writing the
amount to be fixed as agreed compensation for the breach within 14 days from the date of TLS’
notice. If such an agreement is reached within the said 14-day period, the Vendor and the Purchaser
shall complete the sale and purchase of all (and not some only) of the Newco3 Option Shares upon
payment by the Vendor of the agreed compensation but otherwise on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. If the said 14-day period will expire after the date of Newco3 Completion, the date of
Newco3 Completion shall be extended to the date falling 5 Business Days after the expiry of the
said 14-day period. If such agreement is not reached within the said 14-day period, TLS (on behalf
of the Purchaser) shall be entitled, by notice in writing to be given to the Vendor to rescind this
Agreement. Failure to exercise the right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any other
rights of TLS, PharmaCo, the Purchaser or their successors in title arising out of any breach of
Warranty or undertaking. Rescission under this clause 9.5 shall not extinguish any right to damages
to which TLS, PharmaCo, the Purchaser or their successors in title may be entitled in respect of
any breach of this Agreement.

9.6 The provisions of Schedule 5 shall apply to a breach of any Warranty contained in Schedule 4.

10. Information

advisers with all such information and assistance, including access to books and records of the

any such liability. Each Group Company has taken all reasonable steps to prevent damage to the
environment which could give rise to a third party claim or render any premises used or occupied by
such Group Company unusable or subject to an order for decontamination or a similar procedure.

SCHEDULE 5

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER CLAUSE 9.6

1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 9.1, the Vendor shall not be liable for breach of
Warranty:

	1.1	 	Time Limits: in respect of any claim unless notice of such claim is given in writing by the
Purchaser, TLS and/or PharmaCo (as the case may be) to the Vendor setting out such details as
are available of the specific matter in respect of which the claim is made including an
estimate of the amount of such claim, if practicable, within 3 years following Newco3
Completion;

	1.2	 	Minimum Claims: in respect of any claim arising from any single circumstance if the amount
of the claim does not exceed US$50,000 but the Vendor shall not be liable for a claim in
excess of that amount unless the liability determined in respect of any such claim (excluding
interest, costs and expenses) also exceeds that amount;

	1.3	 	Aggregate Minimum Claims: in respect of any claim unless the aggregate amount of all claims
for which the Vendor would otherwise be liable for breach of Warranty exceeds US$100,000 but
if the aggregate liability in respect of all such claims exceeds that figure then subject as
provided elsewhere in this Schedule 5 all claims, including claims previously notified, shall
accrue against and be recoverable from the Vendor;

	1.4	 	Maximum Claims: in respect of any claim to the extent that the aggregate amount of the
liability of the Vendor for all claims made for breach of Warranty would exceed US$33,330,000;

	1.5	 	Contingent Liabilities: in respect of any liability which is contingent unless and until
such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable but this
paragraph 1.5 shall not operate to avoid a claim made in respect of a contingent liability
within the time limit and containing such details as are specified in paragraph 1.1 above;

	1.6	 	Voluntary Acts, etc.: in respect of any matter, act, omission or circumstance (or any
combination thereof) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggravation of a matter or
circumstance) to the extent that the same would not have occurred but for:

	 	(a)	 	Voluntary Acts of the Purchaser: any voluntary act, omission or transaction
of the Purchaser or the Company, or its directors, employees or agents or successors
in title, after Newco3 Completion done or omitted to be done otherwise than in the
ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the knowledge that such
act, omission or transaction might give rise to, or increase the extent of, a claim
under this Agreement otherwise than in the ordinary and usual course of business or
pursuant to a legally binding commitment vested on or before Newco3 Completion and
such claim could have been reasonably foreseeable as a result of such act, omission or
transaction;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Voluntary Acts of TLS or PharmaCo: any voluntary act, omission or
transaction of TLS or PharmaCo, or its directors, employees or agents or successors in
title, after Newco3 Completion done or omitted to be done otherwise than in the
ordinary and usual course of business of TLS or PharmaCo (as the case

Page 39

 

	 	 	 	may be) and in the knowledge that such act, omission or transaction might give rise
to, or increase the extent of, a claim under this Agreement otherwise than in the
ordinary and usual course of business or pursuant to a legally binding commitment
vested on or before Newco3 Completion and such claim could have been reasonably
foreseeable as a result of such act, omission or transaction; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	Changes in Legislation: the passing of, or any change in, after the date of
this Agreement, any law, rule, regulation or administrative practice of any
government, governmental department, agency or regulatory body including (without
prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any increase in the rates of Taxation or
any imposition of Taxation or any withdrawal of relief from Taxation not actually (or
prospectively) in effect at the date of this Agreement; and

	1.7	 	Fraud, etc.: none of the limitations contained in paragraph 1 of this Schedule 5 shall apply
to any claim which arises or is increased, or to the extent to which it arises or is
increased, as the consequence of, or which is delayed as a result of, fraud, wilful misconduct
or wilful concealment by the Vendor or any officer or employee of the Vendor or any of the
directors of the Group Companies.

2. CONDUCT OF CLAIMS

	2.1	 	Notification: If the Purchaser, any Group Company, TLS or PharmaCo becomes aware of any
matter that may give rise to a claim against the Vendor for breach of Warranty, notice of that
fact shall be given as soon as possible to the Vendor but any failure to give such notice
shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser, TLS and PharmaCo under this Agreement.

	2.2	 	Investigation by the Vendor: Without prejudice to the validity of the claim or alleged claim
in question, the Purchaser shall allow, and shall procure that the relevant Group Company
allows, the Vendor and its accountants and professional advisers to investigate the matter or
circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is
payable in respect of such claim and for such purpose the Purchaser shall give, and shall
procure that the relevant Group Company gives, subject to their being paid all costs and
expenses, all such information and assistance, including access (by prior appointment) to
premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts,
documents and records as the Vendor or its accountants or professional advisers may reasonably
request. The Vendor agrees to keep all such information confidential and only to use it for
the purpose of the claim in question. Provided that this obligation shall not apply to any
information that the Purchaser or the relevant Group Company is prohibited to disclose by law,
any stock exchange or governmental or regulatory authority or by reason of an obligation of
confidentiality being owed to any third party.

	2.3	 	Third Party Claim/Liability: If the claim in question is a result of, or in connection with,
a claim by or liability to a third party then:

	 	(a)	 	no admission of liability shall be made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or
any Group Company and the claim shall not be compromised, disposed of or settled
without the consent of the Vendor;
	 
	 	(b)	 	subject to the Purchaser and the Group Companies not being adversely
affected, the Vendor shall be entitled at its own expense and in its discretion to
take such action as it shall deem necessary to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist,
appeal, compromise or contest such claim or liability (including, without limitation,
making counterclaims or other claims against third parties) in the name of and on
behalf of the Purchaser or the Group Company concerned and to have the conduct

Page 40

 

	 	 	 	of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals subject to the Purchaser or
such Group Company (as the case may be) being fully indemnified by the Vendor as to
all costs and expenses which the Purchaser or such Group Company may incur by
reason of any such action; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Purchaser will give and procure that the relevant Group Company gives,
subject to their being paid all costs and expenses, all such information and
assistance, including access (by prior appointment) to premises and personnel, and the
right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records,
for the purpose of avoiding, disputing, denying, defending, resisting, appealing,
compromising or contesting any such claim or liability as the Vendor or its
professional advisers reasonably request. The Vendor agrees to keep all such
information confidential and only to use it for the purpose of the claim in question.
Provided that this obligation shall not apply to any information that the Purchaser or
the relevant Group Company is prohibited to disclose by law, any stock exchange or
governmental or regulatory authority or by reason of an obligation of confidentiality
being owed to any third party.

3. SUBSEQUENT RECOVERY

If the Vendor pays an amount in discharge of any claim for breach of Warranty and the
Purchaser or any Group Company subsequently recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit,
relief or otherwise) from a third party, and is entitled to retain, a sum which is
referable to the subject matter of the claim and which would not otherwise have been
received by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay, or shall procure that the relevant
Group Company pays, to the Vendor an amount equal to (a) the sum recovered from the third
party less any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and less any Taxation
attributable to the recovery after taking account of any tax relief available in respect of
any matter giving rise to the claim, or (b) if less, the amount previously paid by the
Vendor to the Purchaser less any Taxation attributable to it.
