the participants under such Plan as of the date hereof. For this purpose, the term “PBO” means the
actuarial present value of the accrued benefits of Acquired Company employees entitled to benefits
under such Plan as of the date hereof, based on (i) benefits accrued before the date hereof, but
using the actuarial estimates of salary level at retirement age, (ii) the applicable PBGC mortality
table and applicable PBGC interest rates (including the immediate and deferred rates) being used to
value annuities, and (iii) otherwise the use of actuarial assumptions stated in the last actuarial

          (f) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.17(f), to the Knowledge of the Company, no Acquired
Company employee shall accrue or receive material additional benefits or accelerated rights to

judgments, decrees, orders or notices that would not reasonably be expected to result in
Environmental Costs of greater than $1 million for any individual matter; and (iii) to the
Knowledge of the Company, none of the Acquired Companies has received any written communication
alleging that any of the Acquired Companies has any Liability under Environmental Laws relating in
any manner to the release of Hazardous Substances at any facilities formerly owned or leased by any
of the Acquired Companies (or their predecessors, with respect to the Business), other than such
written communications or Liabilities that would not reasonably be expected to result in
Environmental Costs of greater than $1 million for any individual matter. To the Knowledge of the
Company, Schedule 6.19(b) sets forth all third party off-site disposal sites where the Acquired
Companies (or their predecessors, with respect to the Business) have disposed of Hazardous
Substances in material amounts since 1986. None of the Acquired Companies has assumed any
obligation to pay Environmental Costs for any facility of, or for, any Unrelated Former Business

(in each case, other than with respect to facilities that are presently or were formerly owned,
leased, operated or occupied by one of the Acquired Companies or its predecessors, with respect to
the Business, as conducted by the Acquired Companies and its predecessors) pursuant to the terms of
the Distribution Agreement, other than Liabilities to the extent relating to the Rockwell Science
Center Business (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) or the operations thereof, the Business

disposal sites used by any Acquired Company or its predecessors, with respect to the Business, as

Contract or Law in connection with research and development or related services performed by the
Acquired Companies. To the Knowledge of the Company, no products sold by the Acquired Companies
incorporates or contains any asbestos or asbestos containing materials. For purposes of this
Section 6.19, “Environmental Costs” means out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably required to

discharge, handling or release of any Hazardous Substances in violation of any Environmental Law or
(B) the investigation, containment, removal, remedying, clean-up or abatement of any Hazardous
Substances in the environment (including sediment, soil, air, surface water or groundwater)
reasonably necessary to comply with an Environmental Law. Notwithstanding the generality of any
other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, this Section 6.19 will be deemed
to contain the only representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to environmental
matters or Environmental Laws.

          SECTION 6.20 Warranties. To Knowledge of the Company, no products, goods or services
heretofore sold or provided by any of the Acquired Companies are now subject to any warranty, other

trademarks, trade names, corporate symbols or logos were used by the Acquired Companies immediately
prior to the Effective Time; provided, that such license shall cease immediately upon expiration of
the periods identified below. All goodwill arising from such use shall inure to Automation. Buyer
agrees that the nature and quality of all goods and services rendered by the Acquired Companies in

use of, any of the Retained Names, either alone or in combination with any other word,

25

 

name, symbol, device, trademarks, or any combination thereof. Anything contained herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly permitted by Section 9.8(b), in no event will
Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) utilize any of the Retained Names
as a component of a company or trade name. Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates
(including the Acquired Companies) not to, challenge or contest the validity of any of the Retained
Names, the registration thereof or the ownership thereof by Automation. Buyer will not, and will

assign or cause to be assigned to Automation or any designee of Automation, all right, title and
interest in, and to the use of, such Retained Names in any and all jurisdictions, together with any
goodwill incident thereto.

     (ii) If the laws of any country require that any mark subject to Section 9.8(b) or the
right of any of the Acquired Companies to use any mark as permitted by Section 9.8(b) be
registered in order to fully protect Automation, then Buyer and Automation will cooperate in
constituting such Acquired Company as a registered user (or its equivalent) in each of the
countries in which such registration is necessary. Any expenses for registering such mark or
constituting an Acquired Company as a registered user in any country shall be borne by Buyer.
Any registration of an Acquired Company as a registered user of any mark hereunder shall be
expunged on termination of the period of permitted use under this Agreement or upon a breach
or threatened breach by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) of
the terms of this Section 9.8 and Buyer will, upon request of Automation, take or cause to be
taken all necessary steps to cause such registration to be so expunged upon such termination
or breach or threatened breach.

     (iii) Automation will have the right to terminate the license granted in Section 9.8(b)
(except with respect to clauses (i) and (iv) of Section 9.8(b)) in the event of a material
breach of this Section 9.8(c) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired
Companies) that has not been cured within thirty days after written notice thereof by
Automation to Buyer.

     (iv) Buyer hereby constitutes and appoints Automation the true and lawful attorney of
Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to act as their attorney-in-fact
to execute any documents and to take all necessary steps to cause Buyer and its Subsidiaries
to perform any of their obligations set forth in this Section 9.8(c); provided, that notice is
provided to Buyer prior to Automation executing any such document.

options of Automation exercised after the Closing Date by employees or former employees of the
Acquired Companies shall be disallowed, Automation shall indemnify Buyer for any resulting
Taxes.

     (v) In the event a Tax audit proceeding shall determine (by settlement or otherwise) that

          (e) In the event it is determined by Tax audit proceeding or otherwise that any deduction,
loss or credit claimed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period should be claimed for a later period, Buyer
shall pay to Sellers the amount of Tax benefits resulting from claiming such deduction, loss or
credit for such later period at such time as such Tax benefits are Actually Realized. In the event
it is determined by Tax audit proceeding or otherwise that any income, gain or recapture reflected
on an income Tax return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period should be reflected on income Tax returns
for a later period, each Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of Tax benefits resulting from the
exclusion of such income, gain or recapture from such Pre-Closing Tax Period at such time as such
Tax benefits are Actually Realized by such Seller.

employee pursuant to its terms and (ii) the Buyer Benefit Plans to credit each employee with the
same service and any other item credited to or otherwise accumulated for the benefit of such

Teledyne Pension Plan which was closed in January 2004 to new participants and the Teledyne Stock
Advantage Plan), including service credited for waiting periods and amounts credited toward any
medical or health insurance deductible or co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will cause each Buyer Benefit Plan, to the extent

approved by such Member; provided that, if the securities held by such Member in any of the
Portfolio Companies are liquidated by such Member in connection with the sale or transfer of other
assets of such Member or any of its Subsidiaries, then the amount, if any, of such net cash
attributable to the liquidation of securities held by such Member in such Portfolio Companies shall

Companies, or the assertion against any member of the Seller Group of any Liabilities with respect
thereto;

          (f) any change on or after the Closing Date of the salary, bonus or other compensation of any
employee of any of the Acquired Companies (from the salary, bonus or other compensation in effect
for such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date), or the assertion against any member of
the Seller Group of any Liabilities with respect thereto;

          (g) any discontinuance, suspension or modification by any of the Acquired Companies on or
after the Closing Date of any employee benefit plan, agreement or arrangement in effect with
respect to any employee or former employee of any of the Acquired Companies immediately prior to
the Closing Date, or the assertion against any member of the Seller Group of any Liabilities with
respect thereto;

          (h) any actions by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) on or
after the Closing Date with respect to the Rockwell Scientific Company

38

 

Pension Plan or the assets thereof that could result in any Liability on the part of any
Member; or

     (i) the ownership or operation of any of the Acquired Companies on or after the Closing Date,
or the assertion against any member of the Seller Group of any Liabilities with respect thereto.

     SECTION 13.3 Indemnification Procedures.

     (a) If any claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter, or
any Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion or of a potential claim, by any Person
who is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) which may give rise to a claim for
indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”),
then the Indemnified Party will reasonably promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing and in
reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim (including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim,
and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim); provided, however,
that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will affect
the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article XIII, except to the extent the Indemnifying
Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof (except that the Indemnifying Party will not be
liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give
such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly
after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all non-ministerial notices and documents
(including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third
Party Claim.

     (b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or to assume (or in the case
of a claim under Section 13.1(b), jointly assume) the defense of any Third Party Claim (in either
case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying
Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the
Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above).
Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof;
provided, however, that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
reasonably agree that a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified
Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying
Party to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of
such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties) shall be
paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third
Party Claim the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel, and
participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying
Party will control such defense.

39

 

     (c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including
the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without each Indemnified Party’s
prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim
which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party
to pay the full amount of Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally
releases the Indemnified Party and each member of such Indemnified Party’s Group completely from
all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that
the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge (x) that
provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or any member
of such Indemnified Party’s Group or (y) that, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party,
would otherwise materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party or any member of such Indemnified
Party’s Group. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third
Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, admit any
liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge
with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

     (d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party will keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or in
connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party
Claim, the Parties will cooperate in the defense thereof (and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse
the Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party
in connection with such cooperation), which cooperation will include the provision to the
Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party
Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

     (e) Any claim on account of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement
that does not involve a Third Party Claim will be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice
given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought.
The delay by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not affect the
Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article XIII, except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof.

     (f) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party (or, in the case of a claim under
Section 13.1(b), by each Indemnifying Party) to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim
(an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in
the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such
Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified Claim against any
claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such
Indemnified Party will cooperate with

40

 

such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such
Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

     SECTION 13.4 Certain Limitations.

     (a) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified
Party in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be
reduced by any amounts (or, in the case of a claim under Section 13.1(b), one-half of such amounts
for each Indemnifying Party) actually received (including amounts received under insurance
policies) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party from third parties (net out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in
connection with seeking to collect and collecting such amounts) in respect of such Damages (such
net amounts are referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). If any Indemnified
Party receives any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of an Indemnified Claim for which
indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such Indemnified Claim
has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of
such Indemnified Claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of
such Indemnified Claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in
respect of such Indemnified Claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have
been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the
indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to
pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue
of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it
being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to
any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions
by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each Seller and Buyer will, and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Representatives to, pursue promptly any claims
or rights it may have against all third parties which would reduce the amount of Damages for which
indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

     (b) The amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be
(i) increased to take account of any Tax cost incurred (grossed up for such increase) by the
Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (unless such indemnity
payment is treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes) and (ii) reduced to
take account of any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or
payment of any such Damages. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the
Indemnified Party will be deemed to be subject (A) to the applicable federal and/or local country
Income Taxes at the maximum statutory rate then in effect and (B) to state and local Taxes (if
applicable) at a combined State and local Tax rate of six percent, which will be tax effected at
such maximum Tax rate. Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless a determination (as defined in § 1313 of
the Code) or a similar event under foreign Tax Law with respect to the Indemnified Party causes any
such payment not to

41

 

constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for United States federal Income Tax purposes
or foreign Tax purposes, as the case may be.

     (c) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Seller will have
any obligation to indemnify any member of the Buyer Group with respect to any matter if the Damages
arise from a change in the accounting or Tax policies or practices of any of the Acquired Companies
on or after the Closing Date.

     (d) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no member of the
Seller Group and no member of the Buyer Group will be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement
for its own special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages or lost profits; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall prevent any member of the Seller Group or the Buyer Group from
being indemnified for all components of awards against them in claims by third parties, including
special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages and lost profits components of such claims.

     SECTION 13.5 Dollar Limitations.

     (a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no monetary amount
will be payable by any Seller to any member of the Buyer Group with respect to the indemnification
of any claims pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims relating to
representations and warranties regarding brokers contained in Section 6.21) until the aggregate
amount of Damages actually incurred by the Buyer Group with respect to such claims against both
Sellers shall exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand
dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Deductible”), in which event each Seller shall be responsible
only for one-half of the amount in excess of the Deductible. In addition, no Seller will be
responsible for making payments with respect to Damages for any individual items pursuant to
Sections 13.1(a)(i) or Section 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims relating to
representations and warranties regarding brokers contained in Sections 5.6 and 6.21) where the
aggregate Damages relating thereto are less than Fifty Thousand dollars ($50,000) and such items
shall not be aggregated for purposes of determining whether aggregate Damages incurred by the Buyer
Group exceed the Deductible. In connection with any claim for indemnification under 13.1(b)(i),
Buyer and the other members of the Buyer Group will promptly provide each Seller with written
notice of all claims included in the Deductible and copies of all documents reasonably requested by
any Seller relating thereto.

     (b) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the
aggregate amount for which any Seller shall be responsible to indemnify all members of the Buyer
Group for all claims under Sections 13.1(a)(i) and 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims
relating to such Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to title to the RSC Shares
contained in Section 5.5 and brokers contained in Sections 5.6 and Section 6.21) exceed, and each
Seller’s aggregate liability under Sections 13.1(a)(i) and 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to
claims relating to such Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to title to the RSC
Shares contained in Section 5.5 and brokers

42

 

contained in Sections 5.6 and 6.21) shall be limited to, Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand
dollars ($8,500,000).

     (c) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the
aggregate amount for which any Seller shall be responsible to indemnify all members of the Buyer
Group for all claims under Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(a)(ii), 13.1(b)(i), 13.1(b)(ii), 13.1(b)(iii),
13.1(b)(iv) and 13.1(b)(v) exceed, and each Seller’s aggregate liability under Sections 13.1(a)(i),
13.1(a)(ii), 13.1(b)(i), 13.1(b)(ii), 13.1(b)(iii), 13.1(b)(iv) and 13.1(b)(v) shall be limited to,
an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price paid to such Seller.

     SECTION 13.6 Termination of Indemnification Obligations.

     (a) The representations and warranties of any Seller, Sellers or Buyer contained in Articles
V, VI and VII (other than representations and warranties with respect to brokers contained in
Sections 5.6, 6.21 and 7.9, representations and warranties with respect to intellectual property
matters contained in Section 6.14, representations and warranties with respect to employees
contained in Section 6.17, representations and warranties with respect to environmental matters
contained in Section 6.19 and representations and warranties with respect to ownership of the RSC
Shares contained in Section 5.5), will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Sections
13.1(a)(i), 13.1(b)(i) and 13.2(a), as applicable, until (and will expire and be of no further
force or effect) one year after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties with respect
to intellectual property matters contained in Section 6.14 and the representations and warranties
with respect to employees contained in Section 6.17 will survive the Closing Date solely for
purposes of Section 13.1(b)(i) until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect), two
years after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties with respect to environmental
matters contained in Section 6.19 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Section
13.1(b)(i) until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect), three years after the
Closing Date. The representations and warranties with respect to brokers contained in Sections
5.6, 6.21 and 7.9 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Sections 13.1(a)(i),
13.1(b)(i) and 13.2(a), as applicable, until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect
when) all applicable statutes of limitation (including any extensions thereof) have expired. Each
Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to ownership of the RSC Shares contained in
Section 5.5 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Section 13.1(a)(i) without time
limitation. Each other representation and warranty made by any Party contained in or made pursuant
to this Agreement or contained in or made pursuant to any closing certificate or other instrument
or agreement delivered by any Party pursuant to this Agreement shall not survive (and will expire
at) the Closing and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect and no Party will have any
obligation to provide indemnification or other Liability in respect thereof.

     (b) The obligations of each Party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable
Persons (i) pursuant to Sections 13.1(a)(ii), 13.1(b)(ii), 13.1(b)(v) and 13.2(b), will terminate
upon the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any extensions
thereof), (ii) pursuant to Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(b)(i) and 13.2(a), will terminate

43

 

when the applicable representation or warranty expires pursuant to Section 13.6(a), (iii)
pursuant to Sections 13.1(b)(iii), 13.1(b)(iv), 13.2(c), 13.2(d), 13.2(e), 13.2(f), 13.2(g),
13.2(h) and 13.2(i), will not terminate at any time; provided, however, that as to
clauses (i) and (ii) above, such obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless will not
terminate with respect to any individual item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before
the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice (stating in
reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

     SECTION 13.7 Exclusive Remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
except for claims of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Article XIII and Section 15.3
shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to each of the Parties and their respective
Affiliates and each member of the Seller Group and Buyer Group for breaches of any of the terms,
conditions, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or for
any other claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and shall preclude assertion by
members of the Seller Group or Buyer Group of any of other rights, claims or causes of action or
the seeking of any other remedies, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, under Law
(including statutory or common law) or otherwise, against Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) or any
Member, respectively, with respect to breaches of any of the terms, conditions, representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or for any other claims relating to
the subject matter of this Agreement, all of which Buyer (on behalf of itself and the other members
of the Buyer Group) and each Seller (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and each of its and its
Affiliates’ Representatives) hereby waives.

ARTICLE XIV

TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

     SECTION 14.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Closing:

     (a) by mutual written consent of each Seller and Buyer;

     (b) by written notice by Buyer to each Seller, if there shall have been a material breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller set forth in this
Agreement, or if any representation or warranty set forth in Article V or VI shall have become
untrue in any material respect, or if there shall have occurred any change in the business,
financial condition or operations of the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, that has had or
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, in any such case such that the
conditions set forth in Section 11.1, Section 11.2, or Section 11.5 as the case may be, would not
be satisfied as of such time, provided that if such breach or Material Adverse Effect is curable by
any Seller or Sellers prior to October 31, 2006 through the exercise of such Seller’s or Sellers’
commercially reasonable efforts, then for so long as such Seller or Sellers continues to exercise
such commercially reasonable efforts to cure the same, Buyer may not terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 14.1(b);

44

 

     (c) by written notice by Sellers to Buyer, if there shall have been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement,
or if any representation or warranty set forth in Article VII shall have become untrue in any
material respect, in any such case such that the conditions set forth in Section 12.1 or Section
12.2, as the case may be, would not be satisfied as of such time, provided that if such breach is
curable by Buyer prior to October 31, 2006 through the exercise of its commercially reasonable
efforts, then for so long as Buyer continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to
cure the same, Sellers may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.1(c);

     (d) by written notice by any Seller or Buyer to the other Parties if the Closing does not
occur on or prior to October 31, 2006; provided, however, that the Party seeking
termination pursuant to this subsection (d) is not in breach in any material respects of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

     (e) by written notice by Buyer to Sellers or by any Seller to the other Parties, if any court
of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling
or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or
other action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and unappealable.

     SECTION 14.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 14.1, this Agreement, other than with respect to the last sentence of Article
VIII, Section 9.10 and Section 15.13, which will continue in effect, all rights and obligations of
the Parties under this Agreement will terminate without any Liability on the part of any Party or
its Affiliates (or, in the case of any Seller, any Member or Acquired Company) in respect thereof,
except that nothing herein will relieve any Party from Liability for any willful breach of this
Agreement.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 15.1 Parties in Interest. This Agreement is binding upon and is for the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is
not made for the benefit of any Person not a Party, and no Person other than the Parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns will acquire or have any benefit, right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 9.14 and that members of
the Buyer Group and the Seller Group will be entitled to the rights to indemnification provided to
the Buyer Group and the Seller Group, respectively, under Article XIII.

     SECTION 15.2 Assignment. No Party will convey, assign or otherwise transfer either
this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Sellers (in the case of a conveyance, assignment or transfer by Buyer)

45

 

or Buyer (in the case of a conveyance, assignment or transfer by any Seller) in their sole and
absolute discretion, except that any Party may (without obtaining any consent) assign any of its
rights or obligations hereunder to a successor to all or any part of its business. Any conveyance,
assignment or transfer requiring the prior written consent of any Party which is made without such
consent will be void ab initio. No assignment of this Agreement (or any rights or
obligations hereunder) will relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 15.3 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened breach of
any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement (including Section 9.9), the Party or Parties
who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive
relief giving effect to its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies at law or in equity, subject to Section 13.7. The Parties agree that any such
breach or threatened breach would cause irreparable injury, that the remedies at law for any such
breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss
and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate
is waived.

     SECTION 15.4 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications
required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be delivered by hand or
telecopied, e-mailed or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified or express mail or
reputable overnight courier service (and will be deemed duly given when so delivered by hand or
telecopied, when e-mail confirmation is received if delivered by e-mail, or if mailed, three days
after mailing (one business day in the case of express mail or overnight courier service)). All

or in any case to such other address or addresses as hereafter shall be furnished as provided in
this Section 15.4 by any Party to the other Parties.

     SECTION 15.5 Waiver. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any
Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or

hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder. No waiver by any Party shall be effective unless it is evidenced by a
written agreement making specific reference hereto executed by the Party granting such waiver.

     SECTION 15.6 Schedules.

     (a) All Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement
as if set forth in full herein. The mere inclusion of information in any Schedule hereto as an
exception to a representation, warranty or covenant (i) shall not be deemed an admission by any
Party that such information represents a material exception or a material fact, event or
circumstance or that such information has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect or a “material adverse effect” on any Seller’s or Buyer’s ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, or (ii) constitute, or be deemed to be, an
admission to any third party concerning such information. Matters reflected on any Schedule to
this Agreement are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected on
such Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not
necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Matters disclosed by any Seller or Sellers
to Buyer pursuant to any Section of or Schedule to this Agreement (or any section of any Schedule
to this Agreement) will be deemed to be disclosed with respect to all Sections of and Schedules to
this Agreement (and all sections of all Schedules to this Agreement) to the extent the disclosure
is reasonably applicable to such other Sections or Schedules. Capitalized terms used in any
Schedule to this Agreement but not otherwise defined therein will have the respective meanings
assigned to such terms in this Agreement. If any matter set forth in the final Closing Date
Schedule Supplement delivered to Buyer at the Closing was not included

48

 

in the draft thereof delivered to Buyer at least three days prior to the Closing and does not
relate to matters arising after delivery of such draft delivered at least three days prior to the
Closing, Buyer shall have the option to postpone the Closing Date for up to two business days.

     (b) Sellers will have the right to deliver to Buyer at the Closing a supplement to the
Schedules hereto (the “Closing Date Schedule Supplement”) containing any matters arising or
discovered after the date hereof which, if occurring prior to the date hereof, are required or
permitted to be set forth or described on such Schedules. The Closing Date Schedule Supplement

proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, this Agreement, any
provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of this Agreement
or any provision hereof in (i) the Court of Chancery in and for the State of Delaware and the

Exhibit 10.2

GUARANTEE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, in consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) paid by Rockwell Automation,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Automation”), and Rockwell Collins, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Collins” and collectively with Automation, “Sellers”), to Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
and in consideration for, and as an inducement to Sellers entering into the Purchase Agreement of
even date herewith (the “Agreement”) by and among Sellers and Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor (“Buyer”), Guarantor, for itself and
its successors in interest, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Seller and
each other member of the Seller Group (as defined in the Agreement), the full, faithful and
punctual payment, performance and observance by Buyer of all of the covenants, agreements and
obligations of Buyer set forth in the Agreement or arising out of a breach thereof and the full and
punctual payment of all expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) incurred by any Seller or
any other members of the Seller Group in enforcing the performance of this Guarantee, in each case
without requiring any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance or proof of notice or demand (except
as provided in Section 3 hereof) in order to charge Guarantor therefor, all of which Guarantor
hereby expressly waives; provided, that Guarantor shall be entitled to assert all rights, defenses
and counterclaims (other than Reorganization Events, as defined in Section 12 hereof, and any
rights, defenses or counterclaims based upon lack of authority, capacity, legal right or power of
Buyer to enter into and/or perform its obligations under the Agreement) to which Buyer is entitled
under the Agreement in connection with the performance of Buyer’s obligations thereunder.

Guarantor also agrees as follows:

1. This Guarantee shall not be impaired or affected by (i) the illegality, irregularity, invalidity
or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of, or any defect in, the Agreement or any legal or
equitable defense or right available to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the
Agreement) under or with respect thereto, (ii) any modification, supplement, extension or amendment
of any contract or agreement to which any Seller and Buyer may hereafter agree, (iii) any
modification or other alteration of any obligation hereby guaranteed, (iv) any agreement or
arrangement whatsoever with Buyer, any of its Affiliates or anyone else, (v) the failure or
invalidity of, or any defect in, any security or collateral or other guarantee given to secure the
performance of any obligation guaranteed hereby or (vi) any other circumstances whatsoever (other
than complete performance of all obligations guaranteed hereby) that might constitute a legal or
equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit
recourse against Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Guarantor shall be entitled to
assert all rights, defenses and counterclaims (other than Reorganization Events and any rights,
defenses or counterclaims based upon lack of authority, capacity, legal right or power of Buyer to
enter into and/or perform its obligations under the Agreement) to which Buyer is entitled under the
Agreement in connection with Buyer’s performance of its obligations thereunder and (ii) Guarantor
shall be entitled to rely on, and assert as a defense to its obligations hereunder, any and all
waivers, amendments or modifications

 

 

granted by Sellers in favor of Buyer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

2. With respect to the Agreement, Sellers shall have the right to grant to Buyer any indulgence or
extension of time for any payment or payments or for performance of any obligation, may accept
partial performance, payment or payments by Buyer, or may agree to any waiver, modification or
amendment thereof, all without consent of or notice to Guarantor, without discharging or affecting
in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder; provided, however, that Guarantor
shall be entitled to rely on, and assert as a defense to its obligations hereunder, any and all
waivers, amendments or modifications granted by Sellers in favor of Buyer pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

3. This Guarantee is an absolute and continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not of
collection. No Seller shall have any obligation to resort to any other party or to any security or
collateral held by any Seller nor shall any Seller have any obligation to exhaust any remedies any
Seller might have against Buyer or any of its Affiliates before calling upon Guarantor for payment
or performance of any obligation guaranteed hereunder, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights it
may have to require any Seller to proceed against Buyer or to require any Seller to pursue any
other remedy or enforce any other right; provided, however, that unless any
Reorganization Event shall have occurred or Buyer shall have asserted any right, defense or
counterclaim based upon lack of authority, capacity, legal right or power of Buyer to enter into
and/or perform its obligations under the Agreement, no Seller shall demand or seek to enforce
payment of performance by Guarantor of any obligations guaranteed hereunder unless (i) such Seller
shall have first provided notice to Buyer requesting or seeking to enforce payment or performance
of such obligations guaranteed hereunder, (ii) Buyer shall have agreed in writing to pay or perform
such obligations or shall have been finally determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
so obligated to pay or perform such obligations and (iii) Buyer shall have failed to so pay or
perform such obligations within five days after such agreement of Buyer or final determination.
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that each agreement in writing by Buyer to
pay or perform any obligations guaranteed hereunder and each final determination by any court of
competent jurisdiction that Buyer is obligated to pay or perform any obligations guaranteed
hereunder shall be final and binding for all purposes on Guarantor, whether or not Guarantor was
involved in or a party to any such agreement, was involved in or a party to any proceedings
resulting in any such determination or is otherwise bound by any such agreement or determination.

4. In case one or more of the provisions contained in this Guarantee shall for any reason be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Guarantee, but this Guarantee shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had not been
contained herein.

2

 

5. Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand and protest
and notice of acceptance, presentment, demand or default of any instrument and all other notices to
which a guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

6. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time any whole or partial payment or performance of any obligation guaranteed under this
Guarantee is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Seller
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Buyer or any of its
Affiliates or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of or for any substantial part
of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ properties or otherwise, all as though such payments and
performance had not been made. This Guarantee shall remain in effect notwithstanding any
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of any successor
thereof, or any disaffirmance or abandonment by a trustee thereof.

7. (a) This Guarantee will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State,
without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such State, and shall be binding upon the
successors of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Sellers and their respective successors
and assigns. Guarantor may not assign this Guarantee or any of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Guarantor irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Court of Chancery in and
for the State of Delaware and the Superior Court in and for the State of Delaware and (ii) the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or
other proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, this
Guarantee, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of
this Guarantee or any provision hereof (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding
relating thereto except in such courts). Guarantor further agrees that service of any process,
summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. registered mail to its address set forth
in Section 10 hereof will be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in any
such courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence. Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection
to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, this Guarantee, any provision hereof or the breach, performance,
enforcement, validity or invalidity of this Guarantee or any provision hereof in (i) the Court of
Chancery in and for the State of Delaware and the Superior Court in and for the State of Delaware
or (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and hereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any action or
proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any
jurisdiction or in any other manner provided in law or in equity.

3

 

(c) GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THIS GUARANTEE, ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THE
BREACH, PERFORMANCE, ENFORCEMENT, VALIDITY OR INVALIDITY OF THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF.

8. This Guarantee may not be amended, modified, terminated, revoked or supplemented, in whole or in
part, except by a written agreement executed by Guarantor and each Seller.

9. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guarantee will
operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver of any right, power or privilege under this
Guarantee operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege under this Guarantee, nor will
any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege under this
Guarantee. No waiver of any right, power or privilege under this Guarantee will be effective
unless such waiver is in writing.

10. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications required or permitted to be
given hereunder will be in writing and will be delivered by hand or telecopied, e-mailed or sent,
