Form of Northrop Grummon Special Agreement

 Exhibit 10.5 
  
 NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION 
 MARCH 2004 SPECIAL AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Northrop Grumman Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and
                 (hereinafter referred to as the “Executive”). 
  

RECITALS 
  
 The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Company entering into a severance agreement with the Executive. 
  
 The Executive is a key executive of the Company. 
  
 Should the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company arise, the Board
believes it imperative that the Company and the Board should be able to rely upon the Executive to continue in his position, and that the Company should be able to receive and rely upon the Executive’s advice, if requested, as to the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders without concern that the Executive might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a Change in Control. 
  
 Should the possibility of a Change in Control arise, in addition to his
regular duties, the Executive may be called upon to assist in the assessment of such possible Change in Control, advise management and the Board as to whether such Change in Control would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,
and to take such other actions as the Board might determine to be appropriate. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, to assure the Company that it will have the continued dedication of the Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change
in Control of the Company, and to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company in the face of these circumstances and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows: 
  

	Article 1.	 	Term 

  
 This Agreement shall be effective as of March 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement will continue in effect through February 28, 2007. However, at the end of such three (3) year period and, if
extended, at the end of each additional year thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year, unless the Committee delivers written notice at least six (6) months prior to the end of such term, or
extended term, to the Executive that this Agreement will not be extended, and if such notice is timely given this Agreement will terminate at the end of the term then in progress; provided, however, that this provision for automatic extension shall
have no application following a Change in Control. 
  
 However, in
the event a Change in Control occurs during the original or any extended term, this Agreement will remain in effect for the longer of: (i) twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred; or (ii) until all
obligations of the Company hereunder have been fulfilled, and until all benefits required hereunder have been paid to the 

  

 1 

 
Executive. Any subsequent Change in Control (“Subsequent Change in Control”) that occurs during the original or any extended term shall also
continue the term of this Agreement until the later of: (i) twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such Subsequent Change in Control occurred; or (ii) until all obligations of the Company hereunder have been fulfilled, and until all
benefits required hereunder have been paid to the Executive; provided, however, that if a Subsequent Change in Control occurs, it shall only be considered a Change in Control under this Agreement if it occurs no later than twenty-four (24) months
after the immediately preceding Change in Control or Subsequent Change in Control. 
  

	Article 2.	 	ERISA 

  
 This Agreement is intended as part of a severance program of the Company that constitutes (i) a pension plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA,
and (ii) an unfunded pension plan maintained by the Company for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation 2520.104-23 promulgated under ERISA, and Sections 201, 301, and 401 of
ERISA.

other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following
such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the Beneficial Owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business
Combination Beneficially Own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, is a Parent of the Company or the successor of the Company) in substantially the

Business Combination or a Parent of the Company or any successor of the Company or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent of the Company or the successor
entity) Beneficially Owns, directly or indirectly, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that the ownership in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) existed prior to the Business Combination, and (3) a Change in Control is not triggered pursuant to clause (ii) above
with respect to the Company (including any successor entity) or any Parent of the Company (or the successor entity). 

  

	 	(iv)	A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company other than in the context of a transaction that does not constitute a Change in Control of the Company under clause (iii) above.

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
a transaction or other event that occurred prior to the Effective Date constitute a Change in Control. 
  

 4 

 Notwithstanding anything in clause (iii) above to the contrary, a change in ownership of the Company
resulting from creditors of the Company becoming stockholders of the Company in connection with any bankruptcy of the Company under the laws of the United States shall not trigger a Change in Control pursuant to clause (iii) above. 
  

	 	(h)	“Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

  

	 	(i)	“Committee” means the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board, or any other committee appointed by the Board to perform the functions of the

indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, by any other Person. In the event that the Company has more than one “Parent,” then “Controlling Parent” shall mean the Parent of the Company the majority of the voting stock or voting

 5 

	 	(r)	“Good Reason” means, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	A material reduction in the nature or status of the Executive’s authorities, duties, and/or responsibilities, (when such authorities, duties, and/or responsibilities are viewed
in the aggregate) from their level in effect on the day immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
Executive; provided that if the Executive is a vice president, for purposes of the preceding phrase the Executive’s loss of vice president status (other than a promotion to a higher level officer) will constitute Good Reason. In addition, Good
Reason will be deemed to exist if the Executive’s reporting relationship is diminished from the Executive’s reporting relationship in effect on the day immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period (for example, if the Executive
reports directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on the day immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period, Good Reason will be deemed to exist if the Executive’s reporting relationship is changed such that the Executive
no longer reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or any Parent or directly to the Board of Directors of the Company or any Parent). 

  

	 	(ii)	A reduction by the Company in the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same shall be increased from time to time. 

  

	 	(iii)	A significant reduction by the Company of the Executive’s aggregate incentive opportunities under the Company’s short and/or long-term incentive programs, as such
opportunities exist on the Effective Date, or as such opportunities may be increased after the Effective Date. For this purpose, a significant reduction in the Executive’s incentive opportunities shall be deemed to have occurred in the event
his targeted annualized award opportunities and/or the degree of probability of attainment of such annualized award opportunities are diminished by the Company from the levels and probability of attainment that existed as of the Effective Date.

  

	 	(iv)	The failure of the Company to maintain (x) the Executive’s relative level of coverage and accruals under the Company’s employee benefit and/or retirement plans, policies,
practices, or arrangements in which the Executive participates as of the Effective Date, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided, and amounts accrued and (y) the relative level of the Executive’s participation in such plans, policies,
practices, or arrangements on a basis at least as beneficial as, or substantially equivalent to, that on which the Executive participated in such plans immediately prior to the Effective Date. For this purpose, the Company may eliminate and/or
modify existing programs and coverage levels; provided, however, that the Executive’s level of coverage under all such programs must be at least as great as is provided to executives who have the same or lesser levels of reporting
responsibilities within the Company’s organization. 

  

 6 

	 	(v)	The failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Article 10.

  

	 	(vi)	Any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment that is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 4.8 and
for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective. 

  

	 	(vii)	The Executive is informed by the Company that his or her principal place of employment for the Company will be relocated to a location that is greater than fifty (50) miles away
from the Executive’s principal place of employment for the Company at the start of the corresponding Protected Period; provided that, if the Company communicates an intended effective date for such relocation, in no event shall Good Reason
exist pursuant to this clause (vii) more than ninety (90) days before such intended effective date. 

  
 The Executive’s right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental
illness. The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute a consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason herein. 
  

	 	(s)	“Parent” means an entity that Beneficially Owns a majority of the voting stock or voting power of the Company, or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets,
directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries. 

  

	 	(t)	“Person” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a “group” as
defined in Section 13(d) thereof. 

  

	 	(u)	“Qualifying Termination” has the meaning given to such term in Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b). 

  

	 	(v)	“Severance Benefits” means the payments and/or benefits provided in Section 4.4. 

  

	Article 4.	 	Severance Benefits 

  
 4.1. Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company Severance Benefits, as described in Section 4.4, if
the Executive has incurred a Qualifying Termination. 
  
 The
Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if his employment terminates (regardless of the reason) before the Protected Period (as such term is defined in Section 4.3(d)) corresponding to a Change in Control of the Company or more
than twenty-four (24) months after the date of a Change in Control of the Company. 
  

 7 

 4.2. Services During Certain Events. In the event a Person begins a tender or exchange
offer, circulates a proxy to stockholders of the Company, or takes other steps seeking to effect a Change in Control, the Executive agrees that he will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company and will continue to render services until the
later of (i) the date such Person has abandoned or terminated his or its efforts to effect a Change in Control, and (ii) the date that is six (6) months after a Change in Control has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may terminate
the Executive’s employment for Cause at any time, and the Executive may terminate his employment at any time after the Change in Control for Good Reason. 
  

4.3. Qualifying Termination. 
  

	 	(a)	Subject to Sections 4.3(e), 4.3(f), 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events within the Protected Period corresponding to a Change in Control of
the Company, or within twenty-four (24) calendar months following the date of a Change in Control of the Company shall constitute a “Qualifying Termination”: 

  

	 	(i)	An involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for reasons other than Cause; 

  

	 	(ii)	A voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason; 

  

	 	(iii)	A successor company fails or refuses to assume by written instrument the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, as required by Article 10; or 

  

	 	(iv)	The Company or any successor company repudiates or breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to Sections 4.3(e), the Executive shall also be deemed to have had a “Qualifying Termination” if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

  

	 	(i)	A Change in Control of the Company occurs; and 

  

	 	(ii)	At any time after the start of the Protected Period corresponding to such Change in Control and on or before the last day of the twelfth (12th) month following the month in which the Change in Control occurs, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the day immediately prior to the
start of such Protected Period ceases for any reason (other than due to either (a) the death of the Chief Executive Officer, (b) the Chief Executive Officer’s termination of employment due to his or her disability (within the meaning of the
Company’s long-term disability plan in which the Chief Executive Officer participates at the relevant time or, if the Chief Executive Officer does not participate in a Company long-term disability plan at the relevant time, as such term is
defined in the Company’s principal long-term disability plan that generally covers the Company’s senior-level executives at that time), or (c) the Chief Executive Officer’s termination of employment on account of reaching mandatory
retirement age (as such age may be defined from time to time in policies adopted by the Company prior to the commencement of the Protected Period, and consistent with applicable law)) to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or of a Parent;
and 

  

 8 

	 	(iii)	The Executive remains continuously employed by the Company through the last day of the twelfth (12th) month following the month in which the first Change in Control of the Company occurs; and 

  

	 	(iv)	The Executive terminates employment with the Company (whether or not for Good Reason, but other than due to the Executive’s death) during the thirteenth (13th) month following the month in which the first Change in Control of the Company occurs; and 

  

	 	(v)	The Company does not have Cause to terminate the Executive’s employment at the time of the Executive’s termination; provided that if the Company intends to assert that it
had Cause to terminate the Executive’s employment it must promptly deliver a written Notice of Termination to the Executive pursuant to Section 11.6 setting forth its claimed basis for Cause even if such notice is delivered after the
termination of employment by the Executive. 

  

	 	(c)	If more than one of the events set forth in Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) occurs, such events shall constitute but a single Qualifying Termination and the Executive shall be entitled
to but a single payment of the Severance Benefits. 

  

	 	(d)	The “Protected Period” corresponding to a Change in Control of the Company shall be a period of time determined in accordance with the following: 

 

	 	(i)	If the Change in Control is triggered by a tender offer for shares of the Company’s stock or by the offeror’s acquisition of shares pursuant to such a tender offer, the
Protected Period shall commence on the date of the initial tender offer and shall continue through and including the date of the Change in Control; provided that in no case will the Protected Period commence earlier than the date that is six (6)
months prior to the Change in Control. 

  

	 	(ii)	If the Change in Control is triggered by a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with or involving any other corporation, the Protected Period shall commence on
the date that serious and substantial discussions first take place to effect the merger, consolidation, or reorganization and shall continue through and including the date of the Change in Control; provided that in no case will the Protected Period
commence earlier than the date that is six (6) months prior to the Change in Control. 

  

 9 

	 	(iii)	In the case of any Change in Control not described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Protected Period shall commence on the date that is six (6) months prior to the Change in Control
and shall continue through and including the date of the Change in Control. 

  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Executive’s termination of employment on account of reaching mandatory retirement age, as such age may be
defined from time to time in policies adopted by the Company prior to the commencement of the Protected Period, and consistent with applicable law, shall not be a Qualifying Termination. 

  

	 	(f)	Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the termination of the Executive’s employment (or other events giving rise to Good Reason) shall not constitute
a Qualifying Termination if there is objective evidence that, as of the commencement of the Protected Period, the Executive had specifically been identified by the Company as an employee whose employment would be terminated as part of a corporate
restructuring or downsizing program that commenced prior to the Protected Period and such termination of employment was expected at that time to occur within six (6) months. 

  

	 	(g)	 Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary (other than those provisions that contain an express exception to this Section 4.3(g)), the
Executive’s Severance Benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced by the severance benefits (including, without limitation, any other change-in-control severance benefits and any other severance benefits generally) that the Executive may be
entitled to under any other plan, program, agreement or other arrangement with the Company (including, without limitation, any such benefits provided for by an employment agreement, a prior Northrop Grumman Corporation Special Agreement, a Northrop
Grumman Corporation March 2000 Special Agreement, under the prior Northrop Grumman Corporation Change-In-Control Severance Plan, or under the Northrop Grumman Corporation March 2000 Change-In-Control Severance Plan); provided that if the Executive
is otherwise entitled to receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement and severance benefits under the Northrop Grumman Corporation March 2004 Change-In-Control Severance Plan, benefits shall be paid under this Agreement rather than under such
plan. For purposes of the foregoing, any cash severance benefits payable to the Executive under any other plan, program, agreement or other arrangement with the Company shall offset the cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive
under this Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For purposes of the foregoing, non-cash severance benefits to be provided to the Executive under any other plan, program, agreement or other arrangement with the Company shall offset any
corresponding benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement or, if there are no corresponding benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement, the value of such benefits shall offset the 

  

 10 

	 	 
cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the amount of other benefits to be offset
against the cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement in accordance with the preceding two sentences exceeds the amount of cash severance benefits otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement, then
the excess may be used to offset other non-cash severance benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For purposes of this paragraph, the Company shall reasonably determine the value of any
non-cash benefits. 

  
 4.4.
Description of Severance Benefits. In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.3, the Company shall pay to the Executive and provide him or her with the following:

  

	 	(a)	An amount equal to three (3) times the highest rate of the Executive’s annualized Base Salary in effect at any time up to and including the Effective Date of Termination.

  

	 	(b)	An amount equal to three (3) times the greater of: (i) the highest of the Executive’s bonus earned under the Company’s Performance Achievement Plan or Incentive
Compensation Plan (or a successor bonus program) for any one of the three (3) full fiscal years prior to the date of the Change in Control of the Company; or (ii) the Executive’s target annual bonus established under the Company’s
Performance Achievement Plan or Incentive Compensation Plan bonus program (or any successor bonus program) for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control of the Company occurs. (The greater of the amount determined pursuant to clause (i) or
clause (ii) in the preceding sentence with respect to the Executive is referred to as the Executive’s “Bonus Amount.”) Special bonuses or bonus enhancements that would otherwise be included for purposes of the calculation pursuant to
the first sentence of this Section 4.4(b), but that are related to a merger, acquisition, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off or similar event and that are not part of the Company’s customary on-going program of Performance Achievement Plan
or Incentive Compensation Plan (or any successor bonus program) bonuses shall be excluded for purposes of such calculation. 

  

	 	(c)	An amount in settlement of the Executive’s bonus opportunity under the Company’s Performance Achievement Plan or Incentive Compensation Plan (or a successor bonus program)
for the fiscal year in which the Effective Date of Termination occurs, such amount determined as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	If the Effective Date of Termination occurs in the fiscal year in which the Change in Control of the Company occurs, then such amount shall equal the sum of:

  

	 	(A)	 the greater of (X) or (Y) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the fiscal year through 

  

 11 

	 	 
the date of the Change in Control of the Company and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), where (X) is the Executive’s target
annual bonus established under the Company’s Performance Achievement Plan or Incentive Compensation Plan (or any successor bonus program) for that fiscal year and (Y) is the amount of bonus that the Executive would be entitled to under the
Company’s Performance Achievement Plan or Incentive Compensation Plan (or any successor bonus program) for that fiscal year assuming that the Executive’s employment had not terminated and based on performance through the date of the Change
in Control of the Company relative to the pre-approved performance goals for that year; plus 

  

	 	(B)	the Executive’s Bonus Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the fiscal year following the date of the Change in Control of
the Company through the Effective Date of Termination and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). 

  

	 	(ii)	If the Effective Date of Termination occurs in a fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Change in Control of the Company occurs, then such amount shall equal the
Executive’s Bonus Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the fiscal year in which the Effective Date of Termination occurs through the Effective Date of Termination and the denominator of
which is three hundred sixty-five (365). 

  

	 	(d)	 A continuation of the Executive’s medical coverage, dental coverage, and group term life insurance for the Executive, his spouse, and his eligible dependents
for the three (3) years following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination; provided that such continuation of coverage shall run concurrently with COBRA continuation or similar state law continuation periods; and provided further that the
continuation of such coverage shall be discontinued prior to the end of the three (3) year period in the event the Executive has available substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer, as reasonably determined by the Committee. Except
as provided in the next sentence, such benefits shall be provided to the Executive at the same premium cost, and at the same coverage level, as in effect as of the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination. However, in the event the premium
cost and/or level of coverage shall change for all employees of the Company, the cost and/or coverage level, likewise, shall change for the Executive in a corresponding manner. The continuation of coverage for the period contemplated by this Section
4.4(d) shall be coordinated with and paid secondary to any benefits that the Executive, his spouse, or his dependent receives from another employer or from Medicare (following the Executive’s, his spouse’s, and/or his dependent’s
entitlement to Medicare benefits) to the maximum extent permissible under relevant law. Notwithstanding the foregoing 

  

 12 

	 	 
provisions of this Section 4.4(d), if the Executive is eligible to commence benefits under the Company’s Special Officer Retiree Medical Plan
(“SORMP”) as of the Effective Date of Termination, then the Executive shall receive medical and dental continuation coverage pursuant to the SORMP instead of the continuation coverage contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4(d). Any other continuation of medical, dental, or group term life insurance that the Executive may otherwise be entitled to upon or following his Effective Date of Termination in accordance with the express terms of a Company welfare
benefit plan shall not give rise to an offset pursuant to Section 4.4(g) and shall not be deemed to duplicate the benefits of the continuation coverage contemplated by this Section 4.4(d). 

  

	 	(e)	A lump-sum cash amount equal to (i) minus (ii), with (i) and (ii) determined as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	equals the actuarial present value equivalent of the aggregate benefits accrued by the Executive as of his Effective Date of Termination under the qualified defined benefit pension
plan or plans in which the Executive participates (the “qualified plan”), and under any and all supplemental defined benefit retirement plans in which the Executive participates, calculated as if the Executive’s employment continued
for three (3) full years following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination (i.e., the Executive receives three (3) additional years of vesting and benefit accruals, including, if the Executive is a participant in a cash balance
plan, three years of projected post-termination interest credits based on the interest rate in affect at termination, and his age is also increased three (3) years from his age as of his Effective Date of Termination); provided, however, that for
purposes of determining “Final Average Pay” under such plans, the Executive’s actual pay history as of the Effective Date of Termination shall be used; and 

  

	 	(ii)	equals the actuarial present value equivalent of the aggregate benefits payable to the Executive as of his Effective Date of Termination under the qualified plan and under any and
all supplemental defined benefit retirement plans in which the Executive participates, calculated assuming that the Executive retired and went into pay status under the terms of such plans on or as soon as possible after his Effective Date of
Termination. 

  
 The intent of this Section 4.4(e)
is that the qualified plan and any supplemental defined benefit retirement plan benefits will be paid in the normal course under the terms of those plans, with the additional benefits payable as a result of the imputation of age and service under
this provision being paid from this Agreement. The Executive shall also be entitled to an additional three (3) years of age and service to count towards eligibility under one or more of the Company retiree medical programs for which the Executive
would have been eligible absent any such termination. 
  

 13 

	 	(f)	Reimbursement by the Company for the costs of all outplacement services obtained by the Executive within the one (1) year period after the Effective Date of Termination; provided,
however, that the total reimbursement shall be limited to an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Executive’s Base Salary as of the Effective Date of Termination. 

  

	 	(g)	An amount equal to three (3) times the greater of: (i) the annual value of the perquisites provided to the Executive under the Company’s Executive Perquisite Program as such
program is in effect at the start of the Protected Period corresponding to the Change in Control of the Company, or (ii) the annual value of the perquisites provided to the Executive under the Company’s Executive Perquisite Program as such
program is in effect immediately before the Effective Date of Termination. The Company shall determine the annual value of such perquisites on a reasonable basis. This Section 4.4(g) is not intended to provide for the duplication of any welfare
benefits that are otherwise provided by Section 4.4(d) or which would otherwise continue for three (3) years or more following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination. For example, if a welfare benefit otherwise provided by Section 4.4(d)
is also included in the Executive Perquisite Program, such welfare benefit shall be excluded from the Executive Perquisite Program for purposes of the calculations pursuant to this Section 4.4(g). 

  
 4.5. Termination for Total and Permanent Disability. Except as
provided in Section 4.3(b), termination of the Executive’s employment due to Disability is not a Qualifying Termination. However, if immediately prior to the condition or event leading to, or the commencement of, the Disability of the
Executive, the Executive would have experienced a Qualifying Termination if he had terminated at that time, then upon termination of his employment for Disability he shall be entitled to the benefits provided by this Agreement for a Qualifying
Termination. 
  
 4.6. Termination for Retirement or
Death. Termination of the Executive’s employment due to death or, except as provided in Section 4.3(b), retirement is not a Qualifying Termination. However, if immediately prior to the Executive’s retirement (but not death), the
Executive would have experienced a Qualifying Termination if he had terminated at that time, then upon his retirement he shall (subject to Section 4.3(e)) be entitled to the benefits provided by this Agreement for a Qualifying Termination.

  
 4.7. Termination for Cause or by the Executive Other
Than for Good Reason Termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or, except as provided in Section 4.3(b), by the Executive other than for Good Reason does not constitute a Qualifying Termination. 
  
 4.8. Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for
Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in
this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. 
  

 14 

	Article 5.	 	Form and Timing of Severance Benefits; Tax Withholding; Funding of Rabbi Trust 

  
 5.1. Form and Timing of Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Section 4.4(a), 4.4(b),
4.4(c), 4.4(e), and 4.4(g) shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond thirty (30) days from such date. 
  
 5.2. Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to
withhold from any amounts payable under or pursuant to this Agreement all taxes as legally shall be required (including, without limitation, any United States Federal taxes, and any other state, city, or local taxes). 
  
 5.3. Funding of Rabbi Trust. To the extent the Company is
obligated to make a contribution to any rabbi trust, pursuant to the express terms of such trust, upon or with respect to a Protected Period or the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall make such required contribution in accordance
with the terms of such trust. 
  

	Article 6.	 	Excise Tax Gross-Up 

  
 6.1. Equalization Payment. If upon or following a Change in Control, the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor
tax (the “Excise Tax”) applies, solely because of the Change in Control, to any payments, benefits and/or amounts received by the Executive as Severance Benefits or otherwise, including, without limitation, any fees, costs and expenses
paid under Article 9 of this Agreement and/or any amounts received or deemed received, within the meaning of any provision of the Code, by the Executive as a result of (and not by way of limitation) any automatic vesting, lapse of restrictions
and/or accelerated target or performance achievement provisions, or otherwise, applicable to outstanding grants or awards to the Executive under any of the Company’s incentive plans, including without limitation, the 2001 Long-Term Incentive
Stock Plan, the 1993 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan, the 1987 Long Term Incentive Plan and the 1981 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company shall pay in cash to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit as provided below an additional amount
or amounts (the “Gross-Up Payment(s)”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive after the deduction of any Excise Tax on such payments, benefits and/or amounts so received and any Federal, state and local income tax and Excise
Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment(s) provided for by this Section 6.1 shall be equal to such payments, benefits and/or amounts so received had they not been subject to the Excise Tax. Such payment(s) shall be made by the Company to the Executive or
applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Executive as soon as practicable following the receipt or deemed receipt of any such payments, benefits and/or amounts so received, and may be satisfied by the Company making a payment or payments on
Executive’s account in lieu of withholding for tax purposes but in all events shall be made within thirty (30) days of the receipt or deemed receipt by the Executive of any such payment, benefit and/or amount. 
  
 6.2. Calculation of Gross-Up Payment. The determination of
whether a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Article 6 and the amount of any such Gross-Up Payment shall be determined in writing (the “Determination”) by a nationally-recognized certified public 

  

 15 

 
accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its Determination in writing, together with
detailed supporting calculations and documentation and any assumptions used in making such computation, to the Company and the Executive within twenty (20) days of the Effective Date of Termination. Within twenty (20) days following delivery of the
Accounting Firm’s Determination, the Executive shall have the right, at the Company’s expense, to obtain the opinion of an “outside counsel,” which opinion need not be unqualified, which sets forth: (i) the amount of the
Executive’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” (as defined in Code Section 280G(d) (1)); (ii) the present value of the Total Payments; (iii) the amount and present value of any “excess parachute
payment;” and (iv) detailed supporting calculations and documentation and any assumptions used in making such computations. The opinion of such outside counsel shall be supported by the opinion of a nationally-recognized certified public
accounting firm and, if necessary or required by the Company, a firm of nationally-recognized executive compensation consultants. The outside counsel’s opinion shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive and shall constitute the
“Determination” for purposes of this Article 6 instead of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm. The Company shall pay (or, to the extent paid by the Executive, reimburse the Executive for) the certified public accounting
firm’s and, if applicable, the executive compensation consultant’s reasonable and customary fees for rendering such opinion. For purposes of this Section 6.2, “outside counsel” means a licensed attorney selected by the Executive
who is recognized in the field of executive compensation and has experience with respect to the calculation of the Excise Tax; provided that the Company must approve the Executive’s selection, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  
 6.3. Computation Assumptions. For purposes of
determining whether any payments, benefits and/or amounts, including amounts paid as Severance Benefits, will be subject to Excise Tax, and the amount of any such Excise Tax: 
  

	 	(a)	Any other payments, benefits and/or amounts received or to be received by the Executive in connection with or contingent upon a Change in Control of the Company or the
Executive’s termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, or with any Person whose actions result in a Change in Control of the Company or any Person
affiliated with the Company or such Persons) shall be combined to determine whether the Executive has received any “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and if so, the amount of any “excess
parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of the person or firm rendering the Determination, such other payments, benefits and/or amounts (in whole or
in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the base amount within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax; 

  

	 	(b)	The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the person or firm rendering the Determination in accordance with the principles of
Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. 

  

 16 

	 	(c)	The compensation and benefits provided for in Section 4.4 herein, and any other compensation earned prior to the Effective Date of Termination by the Executive pursuant to the
Company’s compensation programs (if such payments would have been made in the future in any event, even though the timing of such payment is triggered by the Change in Control), shall for purposes of the calculation pursuant to this Section 6.3
be deemed to be reasonable; and 

  

	 	(d)	The Executive shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made.
Furthermore, the computation of the Gross-Up Payment shall assume (and adjust for the fact) that (i) there is a loss of miscellaneous itemized deductions under Section 67 of the Code (or analogous federal or state provisions) on account of the
Gross-Up Payment and (ii) a loss of itemized deductions under Section 68 of the Code (or analogous federal or state provisions) on account of the Gross-Up Payment. The computation of the Gross-Up Payment shall take into account any reduction in the
Gross-Up Payment due to the Executive’s share of the hospital insurance portion of FICA and any state withholding taxes (other than any state withholding tax for income tax liability). The computation of the state and local income taxes
applicable to the Gross-Up Payment shall be based on the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the Effective Date of Termination, and shall take into account the maximum reduction in Federal
income taxes that could be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes. 

  
 6.4. Executive’s Obligation to Notify Company. The Executive shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service (or any successor thereof) or any state or local taxing authority (individually or collectively, the “Taxing Authority”) that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment in excess of any
Gross-Up Payment as originally set forth in the Determination. If the Company notifies Executive in writing that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall: (a) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating
to such claim; (b) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an
attorney selected by the Company that is reasonably acceptable to Executive; (c) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (d) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such
claim; provided that the Company shall bear and pay directly all attorneys fees, costs and expenses (including additional interest, penalties and additions to tax) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for all taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed in relation to such claim and in relation to the payment of such costs and expenses or
indemnification. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, and to the extent its actions do not unreasonably interfere with or prejudice the Executive’s disputes with the Taxing Authority as to other issues, the
Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, in its reasonable discretion, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the Taxing Authority in respect of
such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive 

  

 17 

 
to pay the tax, interest or penalties claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such
contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and
sue for a refund, the Company shall advance an amount equal to such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from all taxes (including, without limitation,
income and excise taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance, as any such amounts are incurred; and, further, provided, that any extension
of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes, interest, penalties or additions to tax for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount;
and, provided, further, that any settlement of any claim shall be reasonably acceptable to the Executive and the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder,
and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue. 
  
 6.5. Subsequent Recalculation. In the event of a binding or uncontested determination by the Taxing Authority that adjusts the computation set forth in the Determination so that the Executive did not
receive the greatest net benefit required pursuant to Section 6.1, the Company shall reimburse the Executive as provided herein for the full amount necessary to place the Executive in the same after-tax position as he would have been in had no
Excise Tax applied. In the event of a binding or uncontested determination by the Taxing Authority that adjusts the computation set forth in the Determination so that the Executive received a payment or benefit in excess of the amount required
pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Executive shall promptly pay to the Company (without interest) the amount of such excess. 
  

	Article 7.	 	The Company’s Payment Obligation 

  
 7.1. Payment of Obligations Absolute. Except as provided in Sections 4.3(g) and 5.2 and in Article 6, the Company’s obligation to make
the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company
may have against the Executive or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the Company shall be final, and the Company shall not seek to recover all or
any part of such payment from the Executive or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Article 6 or Article 9. 
  
 The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made
under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement, except to
the extent provided in Section 4.4(d). 
  

 18 

 7.2. Contractual Right to Benefits. This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a
contractual right to the benefits to which he or she is entitled hereunder. The Company expressly waives any ability, if possible, to deny liability for any breach of its contractual commitment hereunder upon the grounds of lack of consideration,
accord and satisfaction or any other defense. In any dispute arising after a Change in Control as to whether the Executive is entitled to benefits under this Agreement, there shall be a presumption that the Executive is entitled to such benefits and
the burden of proving otherwise shall be on the Company. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other
assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder. 
  
 7.3. Pension Plans; Duplicate Benefits. All payments, benefits and amounts provided under this Agreement shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any pension rights under the Company’s
tax-qualified pension plan, supplemental retirement plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and any disability, workers’ compensation or other Company benefit plan distribution that the Executive is entitled to at his or her Effective
Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not create an inference that any duplicate payments shall be required. No payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered compensation for purposes of any such
benefit plan; provided that any amount paid pursuant to Section 4.4(c) shall not be subject to such limitation. Payment of the Executive’s accrued and unpaid Base Salary and accrued vacation pay through the Executive’s Effective Date of
Termination shall be deemed to not duplicate any benefit contemplated by this Agreement and shall not result in an offset pursuant to Section 4.3(g). Any acceleration of vesting, lapse of restrictions and/or payout occasioned by a Change in Control
pursuant to the provisions of any long-term incentive plan and/or individual award agreement under such a long-term incentive plan shall be deemed to not duplicate any benefit contemplated by this Agreement and shall not result in an offset pursuant
to Section 4.3(g). 
  

	Article 8.	 	Trade Secrets; Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement 

  
 By executing this Agreement and again by receiving any benefits provided for by this Agreement, the Executive agrees follows: 
  

	 	(a)	 In the course of performing his or her duties for the Company, the Executive will receive, and acknowledges that he or she has received, confidential information,
including without limitation, information not available to competitors relating to the Company’s existing and contemplated financial plans, products, business plans, operating plans, research and development information, and customer
information, all of which is hereinafter referred to as “Trade Secrets.” The Executive agrees that he or she will not, either during his or her employment or subsequent to the termination of his or her employment with the Company, directly
or indirectly disclose, publish or otherwise divulge any Trade Secret of the Company or any of its affiliates to anyone outside the Company, or use such information in any manner which would adversely affect the business or business prospects of the
Company, without prior written authorization from the Company to do so. The Executive further agrees that if, at the time of the termination of his or her employment with the Company, he or she is in possession of any documents or other written or
electronic materials constituting, containing or reflecting Trade Secrets, the Executive will return and surrender all such 

  

 19 

	 	 
documents and materials to the Company upon leaving its employ. The restrictions and protection provided for in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any
protection afforded to Trade Secrets by law or equity and in addition to any protection afforded to Trade Secrets by any other agreement between the Executive and the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	For a period of one year following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly through, aid, assistance or
counsel, on the Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of another person or entity (i) contact, solicit or offer to hire any person who was, within a period of six months prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment with the
Company, employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or (ii) by any means issue or communicate any private or public statement that may be critical or disparaging of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective products,
services, officers, directors or employees. 

  

	Article 9.	 	Claims Procedure 

  
 9.1. Committee Review. The Executive or, in the event of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s Beneficiary (as applicable, the
“Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant from this Agreement. Such claim shall be delivered to the Committee care of the Company in accordance
with the notice provisions of Section 11.6. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within sixty (60) days after such notice was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be made
within two hundred and seventy (270) days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant. 
  
 9.2. Notification of Decision. The Committee shall consider a
Claimant’s claim pursuant to Section 9.1 within a reasonable time, but no later than ninety (90) days after receiving the claim. If the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim,
written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial ninety (90) day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of the initial period. The extension
notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination. The Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing: 
  

	 	(a)	that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or 

  

	 	(b)	that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner calculated to
be understood by the Claimant: 

  

	 	(i)	the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it; 

  

 20 

	 	(ii)	specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of this Agreement upon which such denial was based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

  

	 	(iv)	a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (as
defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; and 

  

	 	(v)	a statement of the Claimant’s right to seek arbitration pursuant to Section 9.4. 

  
 9.3. Pre and Post-Change in Control Procedures. With respect to claims made prior to the occurrence of
a Change in Control, a Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence arbitration pursuant to Section 9.4 with respect to any claim for benefits under
this Agreement. With respect to claims made upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Claimant may proceed directly to arbitration in accordance with Section 9.4 and need not first satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Article 9.

  
 9.4. Arbitration of Claims. All claims or
controversies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, that the Company may have against any Claimant, or that any Claimant may have against the Company or against its officers, directors, employees or agents acting in their capacity as
such, shall, subject to the initial review provided for in the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 that are effective with respect to claims brought prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, be resolved through arbitration as provided in
this Section 9.4. The decision of an arbitrator on any issue, dispute, claim or controversy submitted for arbitration, shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Claimant and that judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in
any court having proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall review de novo any claim previously considered by the Committee pursuant to Section 9.1. 
  
 All expenses of such arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the counsel for the Executive, shall be advanced and borne by the Company; provided,
however, that if it is finally determined that the Claimant did not commence the arbitration in good faith and had no reasonable basis therefore, the Claimant shall repay all advanced fees and expenses and shall reimburse the Company for its
reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection therewith. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in this procedure or by mutual agreement of the parties, any arbitration shall be administered: (1) in accordance with the then-current Model Employment Arbitration Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) before an arbitrator who is licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is convened; or (2) if locally available, the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in
accordance with the JAMS procedures then in effect. The party who did not initiate the claim can designate between 

  

 21 

 
JAMS or AAA (the “Tribunal”). The arbitration shall be held in the city in which the Claimant is or was last employed by the Company in the nearest
Tribunal office or at a mutually agreeable location. Pre-hearing and post-hearing procedures may be held by telephone or in person as the arbitrator deems necessary. 
  
 The arbitrator shall be selected as follows: if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the Tribunal (JAMS or AAA) shall
then provide the names of nine (9) available arbitrators experienced in business employment matters along with their resumes and fee schedules. Each party may strike all names on the list it deems unacceptable. If more than one common name remains
on the list of all parties, the parties shall strike names alternately until only one remains. The party who did not initiate the claim shall strike first. If no common name remains on the lists of the parties, the Tribunal shall furnish an
additional list or lists until an arbitrator is selected. 
  
 The
arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement, any applicable Company policy or rules and regulations, any applicable substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state in which the claim arose, or applicable federal law. In reaching
his or her decision, the arbitrator shall have no authority to change or modify any lawful Company policy, rule or regulation, or this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive and broad
authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is voidable. 
  
 The arbitrator shall have authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or
motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 
  
 Each party shall have the right to take the deposition of one individual and any expert witness(es) designated by another party. Each party shall also
have the opportunity to obtain documents from another party through one request for production of documents. Additional discovery may be had only when the arbitrator so orders upon a showing of substantial need. Any disputes regarding depositions,
requests for production of documents or other discovery shall be submitted to the arbitrator for determination. 
  
 Each party shall have the right to subpoena witnesses and documents for the arbitration hearing by requesting a subpoena from the arbitrator. Any such
request shall be served on all other parties, who shall advise the arbitrator in writing of any objections that the party may have to issuance of the subpoena within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the request. 
  
 At least thirty (30) calendar days before the arbitration, the parties must
exchange lists of witnesses, including any expert(s), and copies of all exhibits intended to be used at the arbitration. 
  

	Article 10.	 	Successors and Assignment 

  
 10.1. Successors to the Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or of any division or subsidiary thereof (the business 

  

 22 

 
and/or assets of which constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the total business and/or assets of the Company) to expressly assume and agree to perform
the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if such succession had not taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement
in a written instrument prior to the effective date of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as they would be entitled to
hereunder if they had terminated their employment with the Company voluntarily for Good Reason. Except for the purpose of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Executive’s
Effective Date of Termination if the Executive so elects, but any delay or failure by the Executive to so elect shall not be a waiver or release of any rights hereunder which may be asserted at any time. 
  
 10.2. Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him
or her hereunder had he or she continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid to the Executive’s Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Executive has not named a Beneficiary,
then such amounts shall be paid to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate. 
  

	Article 11.	 	Miscellaneous 

  
 11.1. Employment Status. Except as may be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment
of the Executive by the Company is “at will,” and, prior to the effective date of a Change in Control, may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time, subject to applicable law. 
  
 11.2. Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate one or more
persons or entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement. The Executive may make or change such designation at any time, provided that any designation or change thereto
must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to and received by the Committee. 
  
 11.3. Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall
include the plural. 
  
 11.4. Severability. In the

 24Separation Agreement - Waugh

 Exhibit 10.6 
  
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT 
  

	1.0	PARTIES: The parties to this Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”) are RICHARD B. WAUGH, JR. (“Mr. Waugh”) and NORTHROP GRUMMAN
CORPORATION (“Northrop Grumman” or “the Company”). 

  

	2.0	RECITALS: This Agreement is made regarding the following facts: 

  
 2.1    Mr. Waugh is currently Northrop Grumman’s Corporate Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer. He has decided to retire from employment effective December 1, 2003. 
  
 2.2    Northrop Grumman has determined to offer Mr. Waugh special recognition benefits in view of his many
significant contributions to the Company over his more than 25 years of employment, including his major role in helping to shape the Company through mergers and acquisitions. 
  
 2.3    In consideration of these special recognition benefits, the Company will receive
the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement, including a release of claims and further protection of its trade secrets. 
  
 2.4    Mr. Waugh wishes to receive these special recognition benefits upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. 
  

	3.0	SPECIAL RECOGNITION BENEFITS: In consideration for Mr. Waugh’s promise to abide by all of the terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide the following
Special Recognition Benefits to Mr. Waugh upon his retirement on December 1, 2003: 

  
 3.1    Special Recognition Retirement Payment: The Company will pay Mr. Waugh a lump sum cash payment of
$3,700,000 within 45 calendar days following his retirement date. 
  
 3.2    Special Stock Award Vesting: The Company will amend certain grants of stock options and restricted performance stock rights it has previously granted to Mr. Waugh as follows:

  

	 	•	 	Restricted Performance Stock Rights. Mr. Waugh was granted restricted performance stock right awards by Northrop Grumman in December 1998, August 2001 and August 2002
(together, the “RPSR Awards”). The terms of each RPSR Awards generally provide, in part, that if Mr. Waugh retires (as defined in the Guide to Administration applicable to the award) while employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries
(x) the target number of rights subject to the award will be pro rated based on the number of months in the applicable 

 performance period that Mr. Waugh was employed by the Company or a subsidiary, and (y) prorated payments
with respect to the award will be made at the same time and on the same performance basis as if Mr. Waugh had not retired. The RPSR Awards are amended such that there will be no pro ration of the target number of rights subject to each award (that
is, 100% of the target number of rights initially subject to the award shall remain subject to the award). Payments with respect to each RPSR Award will still be made at the same time and on the same performance basis as if Mr. Waugh had not
retired. 
  

	 	•	 	Stock Options. Mr. Waugh was granted stock options, which are currently not scheduled to vest on or before November 30, 2004, by Northrop Grumman in December 1998, August
2001, August 2002, and August 2003 (together, the “Covered Option Awards”). The terms of each Covered Option Award generally provide, in part, that if Mr. Waugh retires (as defined in the award certificate evidencing such option grant or
the applicable Guide to Administration) while employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries (x) the next succeeding installment of the option will vest and (y) all installments under the option which have vested as of Mr. Waugh’s
retirement date may be exercised by Mr. Waugh (or his permitted successor) until the fifth anniversary of Mr. Waugh’s retirement, but in no event after the expiration date of the option or earlier termination in connection with a change in
control as provided in the applicable Company stock plan under which the award was granted. Each Covered Option Award is amended such that (x) the next succeeding installment of the option will vest as of Mr. Waugh’s retirement date (except as
to the August 2003 option grant to Mr. Waugh as provided below), (y) any and all succeeding installments of the option will vest as of the date(s) that they would have otherwise vested had Mr. Waugh remained employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, and (z) all installments under the option which have vested as of Mr. Waugh’s retirement date or which vest as described in the foregoing clause (y) may be exercised by Mr. Waugh (or his permitted successor) until the expiration
of the maximum ten-year term of the option or the earlier termination of the option in connection with a change in control as provided in the applicable Company stock plan under which the award was granted. Clause (x) of the preceding sentence will
not apply with respect to the Covered Option Award granted to Mr. Waugh in August 2003 as the next vesting installment of such award would vest on Mr. Waugh’s retirement only if his retirement date was more than six months after the grant of
such award; instead, such award shall continue to vest and be exercisable as provided in clauses (y) and (z) of the preceding sentence. 

  
 Except as expressly provided above, the other terms of Mr. Waugh’s stock option, restricted stock right, and restricted performance stock

  
  

 2 

 right awards granted by the Company, as set forth or referenced in the applicable award certificates,
shall continue in effect. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence: (x) the remaining vesting installment of the restricted stock right award granted by Northrop Grumman to Mr. Waugh in November 1999 will become vested on Mr.
Waugh’s retirement date, and (y) the restricted performance stock right award granted by Northrop Grumman to Mr. Waugh in August 2003 shall terminate (without vesting) in accordance with its terms on Mr. Waugh’s retirement date. Mr.
Waugh’s restricted performance stock rights, stock options, and restricted stock awards granted by the Company are, in the event of Mr. Waugh’s death, transferable by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of Mr. Waugh’s
death, Mr. Waugh’s stock options granted by the Company shall continue to vest as if Mr. Waugh were alive and to be exercisable by Mr. Waugh’s successor for the full period of time that Mr. Waugh would have been permitted to exercise such
options had he not died. 
  
 3.3    Continued Life and AD&D Coverage: The Company will continue to provide Mr. Waugh with his current life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance coverage (or substantially similar coverage) for
three years following his retirement at no cost to Mr. Waugh; provided, however, that Mr. Waugh shall be responsible for any taxes imposed as a result of this Company paid coverage. 
  
 3.4    Not Pensionable Earnings: Mr. Waugh acknowledges and agrees that none of
the Special Recognition Benefits being provided to him pursuant to this Agreement are eligible compensation under any pension, savings, supplemental retirement, deferred compensation or similar plan. 
  

	4.0	RETIREMENT; RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFITS; ICP BONUS: Mr. Waugh will retire from employment on December 1, 2003. His last day on the payroll will be November 30, 2003.
Following his retirement, Mr. Waugh will receive retiree medical benefits from the Special Officer Retiree Medical Plan (“SORMP”), pursuant to which his cost for such coverage shall remain fixed at the same cost he is paying as of his last
day on the payroll. Under the terms of the SORMP, Mr. Waugh’s spouse at the time of his separation from employment will continue to have medical coverage in the event he should predecease her following his retirement. Mr. Waugh will also
receive a bonus under the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan for the full performance year of 2003 consistent with bonuses paid to peer officers for that year, with such bonus to be paid in February or March of 2004. 

 

	5.0	COMPLETE RELEASE OF CLAIMS BY MR. WAUGH: In exchange for the consideration described in Section 3, Mr. Waugh RELEASES and PROMISES NOT TO SUE the Company. For purposes
of this Section 5.0 Release, the term “Company” includes not only Northrop Grumman Corporation, 

  
  

 3 

 but also any parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, related companies or
entities, its or their employee benefit plans, trustees, fiduciaries and administrators, and any and all of its and their respective past or present officers, directors, partners, insurers, agents, representatives, attorneys, accountants, actuaries
and employees. For purposes of this Section 5.0 Release, the term “Mr. Waugh” includes not only Mr. Waugh himself, but also his heirs, spouses or former spouses, executors, administrators, agents, attorneys, representatives or assigns.
Except as set forth in Section 5.5, this Release extinguishes all of Mr. Waugh’s claims, demands or causes of action, known or unknown, against the Company, based on anything occurring on or before the date Mr. Waugh signs this Agreement.
 
  
 5.1    This Release includes, but is not limited to, claims relating to Mr. Waugh’s employment or his separation from employment with the Company, any rights of continued employment, reinstatement or
reemployment by the Company, claims relating to or arising under Company dispute resolution procedures, claims for any costs or attorneys’ fees incurred by Mr. Waugh, and claims for any severance benefits under any Company plan, program or
agreement. 
  
 5.2    This
Release includes, but is not limited to, claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the False Claims Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Executive Order No. 11246, the Civil Rights
Act of 1991, and 42 U.S.C. §1981. It also includes, but is not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and
retaliation; the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on disability, and retaliation; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation, and discrimination; or any other federal, state or local laws or regulations prohibiting employment
discrimination or retaliation, whether such claim be based upon an action filed by Mr. Waugh or by any governmental agency. 
  
 5.3    This Release also includes, but is not limited to, any rights, claims, causes of action, demands,
damages or costs arising under or in relation to the Company’s personnel policies or employee handbooks, or any oral or written representations or statements made by officers, directors, lawyers, employees or agents of the Company, past and
present, or under any state or federal law regulating wages, hours, compensation or employment, or any claim for retaliation, wrongful discharge, breach of contract (including any employment agreement), breach of the implied covenant of good faith

  
  

 4 

 and fair dealing, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, intentional or negligent
misrepresentation, or defamation. 
  
 5.4    Mr. Waugh waives and gives up all rights given by §1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: 
  
 A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of §1542, Mr. Waugh agrees that his Release includes claims which he did not know of or suspect to exist at the time
he signed this Agreement, and that the Release extinguishes all known and unknown claims. 
  
 5.5    However, this Release does not include any rights Mr. Waugh may have: (1) to test the knowing
and voluntary nature of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act or (2) to workers’ compensation benefits; (3) to earned, banked or accrued but unused vacation pay; (4) to vested benefits under any pension or savings plan;
(5) to continued benefits in accordance with COBRA; (6) to unemployment insurance; (7) for indemnification from the Company; (8) under the Company’s Directors and Officers liability insurance policies; (9) under any stock option or restricted
stock grant provided to him; (10) as a shareholder of Northrop Grumman; or (11) which may arise after the date Mr. Waugh executes this Agreement. 
  

	6.0	RELEASE OF CLAIMS BY NORTHROP GRUMMAN: In exchange for Mr. Waugh’s promises contained herein, the Company RELEASES and PROMISES NOT TO SUE Mr. Waugh, but only
with respect to any claims known by the Company at the time it signs this Agreement, but also any parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, related companies or entities. For purposes of this Section 6.0 Release, the term
“Mr. Waugh” includes not only Mr. Waugh himself, but also his heirs, spouses or former spouses, executors, administrators, agents, attorneys, representatives or assigns. This Release extinguishes all of the Company’s known claims,
demands or causes of action against Mr. Waugh, based on anything known to the Company occurring on or before the date the Company signs this Agreement. However, the Company is not releasing Mr. Waugh from any claims unknown to it at the time it
signs this Agreement, and is not releasing any rights or claims it may have pursuant to §1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows: 

  
 “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the
time of executing 
  
  

 5 

 the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor.” 
  

	7.0	TRADE SECRETS: In the course of performing his duties for the Company, Mr. Waugh has received confidential information, including without limitation, information not
available to competitors relating to the Company’s existing and contemplated financial plans, products, business plans, operating plans, research and development information, and customer information, all of which is hereinafter referred to as
“Trade Secrets.” Mr. Waugh agrees that he will not, either during his employment or subsequent to the termination of his employment with the Company, directly or indirectly disclose, publish or otherwise divulge any Northrop Grumman Trade
Secrets to anyone outside the Company, or use such information in any manner which would adversely affect the business or business prospects of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude Mr. Waugh from complying with due
legal process or governmental inquiry or from taking actions or making disclosures while employed by the Company in good faith performance of his duties and obligations hereunder. Mr. Waugh further agrees that if, at the time of his separation from
employment with the Company, he is in possession of any documents or other written or electronic materials constituting, containing or reflecting Trade Secrets, he will return and surrender all such documents and materials to the Company upon
leaving its employ. The restrictions and protection provided for in this paragraph shall be in addition to any protection afforded to Trade Secrets by law or equity, and in addition to any protection afforded by prior Trade Secrets agreements
entered into with Mr. Waugh. 

  

	8.0	ARBITRATION: If either the Company or Mr. Waugh decides to sue the other over the enforceability of this Agreement, or for violating this Agreement, all such claims
will be determined through final and binding arbitration, rather than through litigation in court. The arbitration will take place in the State of California, using the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service. If the Company or Mr.
Waugh wants immediate relief, before the arbitration is finished, then either party may go to a court with jurisdiction over the dispute, and ask the court for provisional injunctive or other equitable relief until the arbitrator has issued an award
or the dispute otherwise resolved. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. 

  

	9.0	FULL DISCLOSURE: Mr. Waugh acknowledges that he is not aware of, or has fully disclosed to the Company any matters for which he was responsible or came to his
attention as an employee, which might give rise to any claim or cause of action against the Company, or the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, predecessors, assigns, officers, directors, employees and/or agents. Mr. Waugh has
reported to the Company all work-related injuries, if any, that he has suffered or sustained during his employment with the Company.

 10.0 NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-DISPARAGMENT: 
  

	 	A.	Mr. Waugh shall not, directly or indirectly, through aid, assistance or counsel, on his own behalf or on behalf of another person or entity (i) for a period of one year following
the termination of Mr. Waugh’s employment with the Company, solicit or offer to hire any person who was, within a period of six months prior to Mr. Waugh’s separation from employment, employed by the Company, or (ii) by any means issue or
communicate any public statement that may be critical or disparaging of the Company, its products, services, officers, directors or employees; provided the foregoing shall not apply to truthful statements made in compliance with legal process or
governmental inquiry. 

  

	 	B.	The Company shall not by any means issue or communicate any public statements that may be critical or disparaging of Mr. Waugh; provided the foregoing shall not apply to truthful
statements made in compliance with legal process, governmental inquiry or as required by legal filing or disclosure requirements. 

  

	11.0	WITHHOLDING OF TAXES: The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable or pursuant to this Agreement all taxes as legally shall be required
(including, without limitation, United States federal taxes, and any other state, city or local taxes). 

  

	12.0	PERIOD FOR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT; ADVICE OF COUNSEL: As required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Mr. Waugh agrees and understands that he
has been given a period of twenty-one (21) calendar days from his receipt of this Agreement to review and consider this Agreement before signing it. Mr. Waugh further understands that he may use as much of this review period as he wishes prior to
signing; he can sign this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period. Mr. Waugh is advised and encouraged to consult with his own legal counsel prior to signing this Agreement. 

 

	13.0	RIGHT TO REVOKE AGREEMENT: Mr. Waugh may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days of signing it. Revocation can be made by delivering a written

received by Mr. Hateley no later than 5:00 PM PST on the seventh (7th) calendar day after Mr. Waugh signs this
Agreement. If Mr. Waugh revokes this Agreement, it shall 

  

 7 

 not be effective or enforceable, and Mr. Waugh will not receive the benefits described in Section 3 of
this Agreement. 
  

	14.0	NON-ADMISSION OF LIABILITY: Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission by either Mr. Waugh or by the Company of liability of any kind.

  

	15.0	COOPERATION: Mr. Waugh agrees that, for at least two years following his separation from Northrop Grumman, he will reasonably cooperate with Northrop Grumman requests
for assistance in connection with serving as a witness or providing information as to matters connected with his prior employment with Northrop Grumman. If such cooperation requires travel outside the Los Angeles area, the Company will pay any
actual and reasonable travel expenses incurred by Mr. Waugh in providing such cooperation consistent with its policy for reimbursing such expenses for actively employed officers of the Company. In addition, in the event that such cooperation
involves substantial amounts of time, such cooperation shall be subject to further agreement providing for legally appropriate compensation. 

  

	16.0	SEVERABILITY: The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any part of it is found to be illegal or invalid and thereby unenforceable, the validity of the
remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected and shall remain fully enforceable. The unenforceable part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement. 

  

	17.0	SOLE AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Company and Mr. Waugh, and fully supersedes any and all discussions, prior
agreements or understandings between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided however, that any agreements between the Company and Mr. Waugh relating to protection of Company trade secrets or intellectual property
shall not be superseded by this Agreement. 

  

	18.0	MODIFICATION: Once this Agreement takes effect, it may not be cancelled or changed, unless done so in a document signed by both Mr. Waugh and an authorized Company
representative. 

  

	19.0	GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of California without regard to rules regarding conflicts of
law.
