     Section 1.3 Transfer of Bank Accounts

     (a)  Section 2.3(a) shall be amended by (1) removing the word “and” at the end of subsection (xiii), (2) replacing the period at the end of clause (xiv) with a semicolon followed by the word “and”, and (3) adding the following subsection (xv) to such section:

       "(xv) the bank accounts listed on Schedule 2.3(a)(xv).”

     (b)  A new Schedule 2.3(a)(xv) shall be added to the Agreement, as attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     (c)  Subsection (i) of Section 2.3(b) of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the words “except for cash in the bank accounts listed on Schedule 2.3(a)(xv),” to the beginning of such subsection.

     Section 1.4 Compania Espanola de Sistemas Aeronauticos SA (Spain). Section 6.5 of the Agreement shall hereby be amended to add the following clause (c) to such section:

  (c) Buyer and TRW hereby agree that if (i) the consent of Construcciones Aeronatuicas, S.A. (“CASA”) to the transfer of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate is not obtained on or prior to October 1, 2002 (or such other date as the parties shall select as the Closing Date), (ii) all the conditions to closing in Article VII are satisfied or waived at or prior to such time, and (iii) CASA has not exercised its pre-emptive rights to purchase TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the organizational documents governing the Spanish Affiliate (such rights, the “Pre-Emptive Rights”), then (x) the Closing shall take place on October 1, 2002 (or such other date as the parties shall select as the Closing Date), with a reduction of $3,000,000 (three million dollars) to the Purchase Price (which shall be treated as a decrease to the purchase price for all purposes of this Agreement), and (y) the provisions of Section 6.5(b) will apply to the treatment of TRW’s interest in the Spanish Affiliate until the earlier of such time as CASA provides its consent to the transfer of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate to Buyer or CASA exercises its Pre-Emptive Rights. Following the Closing Date, if CASA provides its consent to the transfer of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate to Buyer, TRW shall transfer ownership of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate to Buyer immediately following receipt of such consent, and Buyer shall pay to TRW an amount equal to $3,000,000 (three million dollars) in

4


 

  immediately available funds (which shall be treated as a increase to the purchase price for all purposes of this Agreement), at which time the provisions of Section 6.5(b) as they relate to the treatment of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate shall immediately cease. Following the Closing Date, if CASA exercises its Pre-Emptive Rights, then (i) upon transfer of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate to CASA pursuant to such exercise, the provisions of Section 6.5(b) as they relate to the treatment of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate shall immediately cease and (ii) Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and shall negotiate in good faith to determine the value of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate (the “Spanish Affiliate Price”). Buyer and TRW hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that the Spanish Affiliate Price may be different from the amount paid by CASA to TRW for the purchase of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate pursuant to the exercise of CASA’s Pre-Emptive Rights. If after ten (10) Business Days following the closing of the transfer of TRW’s interests in the Spanish Affiliate to CASA, Buyer and TRW have not agreed on the Spanish Affiliate Price, Buyer and TRW shall appoint a third-party appraisal firm of international repute, reasonably mutually acceptable to Buyer and TRW (the “Spanish Appraiser”), to determine the Spanish Affiliate Price. The Spanish Appraiser shall determine the Spanish Affiliate Price according to commonly accepted valuation techniques and shall deliver its report to Buyer and to TRW within twenty 20 Business Days of its appointment. The Spanish Affiliate Price determined by the Spanish Appraiser shall be final, non-appealable and binding on both Buyer and TRW and may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the Spanish Appraiser shall be borne one–half by Buyer and one-half by TRW. If the Spanish Affiliate Price is greater than $3,000,000 (three million dollars), then TRW shall deliver to Goodrich an amount in immediately available funds equal to such excess (which shall be treated as a decrease to the Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement). If the Spanish Affiliate Price is less than $3,000,000 (three million dollars), then Goodrich shall deliver to TRW an amount in immediately available funds equal to such shortfall (which shall be treated as an increase to the Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement). The payment referred to in the two preceding sentences shall be made no later than two (2) Business Days after the later of (i) the date on which TRW transfers its interests in the Spanish Affiliate to CASA, (ii) the date on which Buyer and TRW mutually agree the Spanish Affiliate Price or (iii) the date on which the Spanish Appraiser delivers its report to Buyer and TRW. Buyer shall control

5


 

  the process of agreeing with CASA on the appropriate price to be paid pursuant to the exercise of CASA’s Pre-Emptive Rights, and TRW shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in its control of such process.

     Section 1.5 TRW Thales Aerolec SAS (France). Section 6.5 of the Agreement shall hereby be amended to add the following clause (d) to such section:

       (d) Buyer and TRW hereby agree that if (i) the approval of the French Ministry of Finance to transfer TRW’s interests in TRW Thales Aerolec SAS (the “French JV”) is not obtained on or prior to October 1, 2002 (or such other date as the parties shall select as the Closing Date), and (ii) all the conditions to closing in Article VII are satisfied or waived at or prior to such time, then (x) the Closing shall take place on October 1, 2002 (or such other date as the parties shall select as the Closing Date), with a reduction of $30,000 (thirty thousand dollars) to the Purchase Price (which shall be treated as a decrease to the Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement), and (y) the provisions of Section 6.5(b) will apply to the treatment of TRW’s interest in the French JV until the approval of the French Ministry of Finance to transfer TRW’s interests in the French JV are obtained. As soon as reasonably practical following receipt of the approval of the French Ministry of Finance to transfer TRW’s interests in the French JV, TRW shall transfer such interests in the French JV to Buyer, and Buyer shall pay to TRW an amount equal to $30,000 (thirty thousand dollars) in immediately available funds, which shall be treated as an increase in the Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement, and upon such payment, the provisions of Section 6.5(b) as they relate to the treatment of TRW’s interest in the French JV shall immediately cease.

     Section 1.6 Certain Consent Issues. Section 6.5 of the Agreement shall hereby be amended to add the following clause (e) to such section:

  (e) TRW and Buyer shall comply with the procedures set forth in Exhibit D hereto in connection with seeking the consent of Cincom Systems, Inc. to the transfer of the Software License Agreement, dated July 31, 1997, between Cincom Systems, Inc. and TRW Limited, to Buyer.

  "(ii) At the Closing, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, TRW shall (A) pay the five Australian Transferred Employees engaged in managerial or supervisory duties identified on Schedule 6.8(o) attached hereto as Exhibit B their accrued entitlement to annual leave and long service leave, and (B) provide Buyer with documentation concerning all entitlements to which each Australian Transferred Employee is entitled as at the Closing Date, including accrued sick leave, annual leave and long service leave. Buyer shall be responsible for honoring all entitlements to which each Australian Transferred Employee (except for the five Australian Transferred Employees identified on Schedule 6.8(o)) is entitled pursuant to services performed by such employee prior to the Closing Date, including accrued sick leave, annual leave and long service leave. Buyer and TRW agree that in exchange for Buyer assuming liability for the accrued sick leave, annual leave and long service leave of Transferred Australian Employees an amount equal to the value of the accrued sick leave, annual leave and long service leave of the Australian Transferred Employees as at Closing will appear as a liability of TRW in the Closing Balance Sheet.”

     Section 1.8 Novation Agreements

     Section 6.9 of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following sentence to the end of such section:

       “Nothing in any of the novation agreements, entered into by and among Buyer (or one of its Affiliates), TRW (or one of its Affiliates) and various third parties, which novation agreements effect the replacement of TRW (or one of its Affiliates) by Buyer (or one of

7


 

  its Affiliates) as a party to the agreements of the Business, shall be construed to amend or otherwise affect any provision of this Agreement, including without limitation the allocation of liabilities in Section 2.4 of this Agreement.”

      “To the extent there are any inconsistencies between terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and conditions of a Local Transfer Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall prevail.”

     Section 1.10 Asset Selling Subsidiaries.

     Schedule 2.3(a) shall be amended to add at the end of such Schedule a new item 16, which shall read “H.M. Hobson Ltd. – certain real property rights.

     (b)  Section 2.7(a) shall be further amended by inserting following new subsection (v):

       "(v) In Section 2.7(a)(i) above, the following defined terms bear the following meanings:

  "A Portion” shall mean that portion of the UK Item forming part of the A Portion Business (as that term is defined in a deed of transfer between TRW Holding Limited, Goodrich Control Systems Limited and Goodrich Controls Holding

  Limited to be executed on Closing pursuant to paragraph 10 of Schedule 2.1(the “Schedule 2.1(10) Transfer Deed”); and

     Section 1.12 Amendments to Supplemental Accounting Principles.

     (a)  The information for Account Number 001-000, Title – Cash, in the Supplemental Accounting Principles, attached as Annex 1 to Section 4.7 of the TRW Disclosure Letter, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

         
001-000   Cash   Represents balances in bank accounts including checks that have been issued/received but not cleared.
         
        Excluded from Reference Balance Sheet.
         
        Excluded from the Closing Date Balance Sheet for U.S. units.
         
        Excluded from the Closing Date Balance Sheet for non-U.S. units where bank accounts are not transferred to Goodrich.
         
        Included in the Closing Date Balance Sheet for non-U.S. units where bank accounts are transferred to Goodrich.

9


 

         
        NOTE: Cash balances that are denominated in a non-US Dollar currency should be reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet in a US Dollar amount obtained by translating the foreign currency balance at the closing date exchange rate. TRW and Buyer Treasury departments will work together in good faith to determine the exchange rate to be used for these cash balances.
         
        This treatment assumes that all bank accounts are properly reconciled as of the Closing Date. For clarification, the only bank reconciliation categories should be bank balance, outstanding checks, undeposited receipts and book balance. Unless there are proven bank errors, all “other” reconciling items will be considered book cash errors and book cash should be adjusted on the reconciliations. Closing date bank reconciliations will be reviewed by Buyer and TRW prior to finalization of any book cash balances included in the Closing Balance Sheet. Where appropriate, petty cash balances are excluded from this reconciliation comment.

     (b)  The information for Account Number 035-000, Title – Short-Term Debt, in the Supplemental Accounting Principles, attached as Annex 1 to Section 4.7 of the TRW Disclosure Letter, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

         
035-000   Short-Term Debt   Represents the unpaid balance of overdrafts, notes, drafts and other indebtedness that have been issued or assumed by or for the Business and which are payable within one year of the balance sheet date.
         
        Excluded from the Reference Balance Sheet for all entities. The Closing Balance Sheet will include bank debt associated with the Xiamen R&O joint venture to the extent that such debt exceeds or is less than $4.4 million. Shown as a credit balance (liability) if the debt is greater than $4.4 million; shown as a debit balance (asset) if the debt is less than $4.4 million.

10


 

         
        Note: To the extent that Goodrich transfers any portion of Xiamen debt to another bank, or adds to or reduces the outstanding balance of Xiamen debt at or about the time of closing, that action will be considered a post closing event with no impact on the reference or closing balance sheet.

     (c)  The information for Account Number 047-XXX, Title – L/T and Short Term Debt, in the Supplemental Accounting Principles, attached as Annex 1 to Section 4.7 of the TRW Disclosure Letter, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

         
047-XXX   L/T and Short Term Debt   Represents debt and obligations due to banks.
        Excluded from the Reference Balance Sheet for all entities. The Closing Balance Sheet will include bank debt associated with the Xiamen R&O joint venture to the extent that such debt exceeds or is less than $4.4 million. Shown as a credit balance (liability) if the debt is greater than $4.4 million; shown as a debit balance (asset) if the debt is less than $4.4 million

     Section 1.13 TRW UK Pension Scheme

     (a)  Subsection 6.8(u)(i) of the Agreement shall hereby be amended to add the following sentence at the end thereof:

  For the purposes of calculating any Payment under this Section 6.8(u), any on account transfer or excess payment made under paragraph 11 of Schedule 6.8(e)(ii) to the Agreement shall be ignored except that any on account transfer (as adjusted in accordance with Schedule 6.8(e)(ii)) shall be deemed to form part of the Transfer Amount (or such lesser amount as is actually transferred from the TRW Pension Scheme to the Buyer UK Pension Scheme

11


 

  in discharge of the TRW Scheme’s liability to provide benefits for the UK Transferred Employees) when the Transfer Amount (or such lesser amount) is actually transferred.

     (b)  The “TRW Share Sale-Pension Schedule”, attached as Annex 1 to Schedule 6.8(e)(ii) to the Agreement, shall be amended to add the following as paragraphs 10 and 11 to such TRW Share Sale-Pension Schedule:

     “10 Redundancies

  If on or before 31 December 2002 a Consenting Member is made redundant by the Buyer’s Group or in the case of a Consenting Member who was a member of the “Senior Sections” in the TRW Scheme, such a Consenting Member retires at the employer’s request and in either case is then aged 50 or over, TRW and the Buyer will co-operate in good faith (Revenue requirements permitting) to arrange for him to be offered the option of transferring the value of the rights he has then accrued or been credited under the Buyer’s Scheme to the TRW Scheme, so that the TRW Scheme will provide for him the benefits which he would have received on redundancy or, in the case of a Consenting Member of the “Senior Sections”, on retirement at the employer’s request, had he remained in active membership of the TRW Scheme after Closing until the date when he was made redundant or, in the case of a Consenting Member of the “Senior Sections”, the date when such a Consenting Member retired at the employer’s request.
 
  Any such transfer value will be calculated by the TRW Actuary (and agreed by the Buyer’s Actuary) in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Schedule.
 
  If Payment Date takes place after 31 December 2002, the transfer value shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) and (b) (as defined below). There will be no physical transfer payment from the Buyer’s Scheme back to the TRW Scheme but the transfer value will be made by netting off such amount against the Transfer Amount which would otherwise be paid by the TRW Scheme to the Buyer’s Scheme under this Schedule (or against such lesser amount as is transferred from the TRW Scheme to the Buyer’s Scheme in discharge of the TRW Scheme’s liability to provide benefits for the UK Transferred Employees).

12


 

  Where (a) is the part of the Transfer Amount in respect of the member concerned that would have been transferred to the Buyer’s Scheme under this Schedule but for the provisions contained in this paragraph (with the proviso that, if the sum otherwise transferred on Payment Date from the TRW Scheme to the Buyer’s Scheme is lower than the Transfer Amount, a reduction on that same basis is made to this item (a)); and

  Where (b) is the value of the Consenting Member’s benefits that have accrued on or after Closing under the Buyer’s Scheme calculated on the date of termination of service on the TRW PBO basis in accordance with the Actuary’s Letter and paragraph 4 (with references to Closing being to the date of termination of service) and then increased or decreased over the period starting on the day of termination of service and ending on the end of the day which is 3 days before the Payment Date by the Timing Adjustment and then increased by interest at the Agreed Rate from (and including) the day which is 2 days before the Payment Date to the end of the day before the Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt when calculating the value of the member’s benefits on the TRW PBO basis, Factors A, B & C (as defined in the Actuary’s Letter) will not apply.

  If Payment Date is on or before 31 December 2002, the transfer value shall be an amount in cash equal to the sum of (c) and (d) (as defined below).

  Where (c) is the part of the unadjusted Transfer Amount (as defined in the Actuary’s Letter) in respect of the member concerned as at Closing (with the proviso that, if the sum transferred on Payment Date from the TRW Scheme to the Buyer’s Scheme is lower than the Transfer Amount, a reduction on that same basis is made to this item (c)), and then increased or decreased over the period starting on Closing and ending on the end of the day which is 3 days before the day of payment of this transfer value by the Timing Adjustment and then increased by interest at the Agreed Rate from (and including) the day which is 2 days before the day of payment of this transfer value to the end of the day before the day of payment of this transfer value; and

  Where (d) is the value of the Consenting Member’s benefits that have accrued on or after Closing under the Buyer’s Scheme calculated on the date of termination of service on the TRW PBO basis in accordance with the Actuary’s Letter and paragraph 4 (with references

13


 

  to Closing being to the date of termination of service), and then increased or decreased over the period starting on the day of termination of service and ending on the end of the day which is 3 days before the day of payment of this transfer value by the Timing Adjustment and then increased by interest at the Agreed Rate from (and including) the day which is 2 days before the day of payment of this transfer value to the end of the day before the day of payment of this transfer value. For the avoidance of doubt when calculating the value of the member’s benefits on the TRW PBO basis, Factors A, B & C (as defined in the Actuary’s Letter) will not apply.

  If a member is reinstated in the TRW Scheme pursuant to this paragraph 10 he will then cease to be treated as a Consenting Member for all other purposes of this Schedule.

     11 On account transfer

  (A) TRW will procure that, within 6 weeks after the end of the Transfer Consent Period or, if later the date when at least 90 per cent of the Option Forms have been received by TRW, TRW’s Actuary will estimate the Transfer Amount and notify that estimate to the Buyer’s Actuary.

  (B) TRW will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the TRW Scheme will transfer to the Buyer’s Scheme on such date as is agreed by TRW and the Buyer, as a payment on account of the Transfer Amount, an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the estimate so notified.

  (C) After the payment on account is made, for the purpose of this Schedule and the Actuary’s Letter the TRW Scheme shall be deemed to have transferred on the Payment Date to the Buyer’s Scheme in addition to the amount (if any) actually transferred on the Payment Date an amount equal to the payment made in accordance with this paragraph 11(B) and then increased or decreased by the Timing Adjustment over the period starting on the day the payment on account is made and ending on the end of the day which is 3 days before the Payment Date and then increased by interest at the Agreed Rate from and including the day which is 2 days before the Payment Date to the end of the day before the Payment Date. If the amount which the TRW Scheme is so deemed to have transferred on the Payment Date exceeds the Transfer Amount, the Buyer will on the Payment Date pay to TRW, or procure the payment by the Buyer’s

14


 

  Scheme to the TRW Scheme of, the excess. If the Buyer pays the excess to TRW, TRW will forthwith pay an amount equal to the excess received to the TRW Scheme. TRW will account to the Buyer for any Tax Benefit received in the same manner and circumstances as the Buyer is required to account to TRW for any Tax Benefit under paragraph 7(B).

  (D) In respect of any transfer between the TRW Scheme and the Buyer’s Scheme, TRW (in the case of a transfer by the TRW Scheme) or the Buyer (in the case of a transfer by the Buyer’s Scheme) will procure that the transferring scheme will before the transfer deliver to the receiving scheme a letter of direction supporting the use of Transaction Stamp Status Flag 5 in the form recommended by CREST.

  (E) If a payment on account is made, Appendix B to the Schedule will be modified to reflect the provisions of this paragraph.”
