Relative Total Stockholder Return: This measure will be assessed based on the percentile positioning of L-3’s TSR as compared to the TSRs of the Peer Companies, calculated using the formula:

Relative TSR Percentile = 1 – ( Rank – 1 ) / ( Total – 1 )

where “Rank” is the relative ranking of L-3’s TSR among the TSRs of the Peer Companies (with a Rank of one being the highest ranked TSR), and “Total” is the sum of (a) one and (b) the total number of Peer Companies on the last day of the Performance Period.

“TSR” means, with respect to any company, the value calculated by dividing (i) the average of the Company’s per share closing prices during the one-month period ending on the last day of the Performance Period, by (ii) the average of the Company’s per share closing prices during the one-month period ending on the date immediately prior to the first day of the Performance Period, and then subtracting one (1); provided, that all closing prices shall be adjusted to reflect (a) the cumulative effect of the reinvestment of dividends as of their respective ex-dividend dates, beginning with the first ex-dividend date that is on or after the first day of the one-month period referred to in clause (ii) above; and (b) any equity restructuring, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R, which affects the company’s shares and which is not otherwise accounted for under clause (a) above; provided, further, that TSR shall mean negative 100% with respect to any company that, during the Performance Period, (w) files for bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or under any similar non-U.S. law, as applicable); (x) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that is not dismissed within 30 days; (y) is the subject of a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution; or (z) ceases to conduct substantial business operations.

“Peer Companies” means the companies listed on Appendix 1 hereto; provided, that in the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction to which a Peer Company is a party, if the stockholders of the Peer Company immediately prior to the event shall, collectively as a group, have beneficial ownership of less than 50 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately after the event, then such Peer Company shall not be considered a Peer Company for any purpose (including during any time period prior to such transaction).
