                                  Capital Stock

          Section 1. The Corporation is authorized to issue 1,650,000,000 shares

and restrictions of the Common Stock are as follows:

              (i) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the

holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted on by the Corporation's stockholders.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
          (b) From and after the time that any shares of Class B Common Stock
are first issued, the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of the Common Stock are as follows:

              (i) Voting.  The voting rights of the holders of record of shares
                  ------                     
of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the relevant record date for
each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be as
set forth below:

              (A) With respect to the election or removal of directors (x) the
holders of record of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1)
vote for each share of Class B Common Stock standing in each such person's name
on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, which votes shall represent in
the aggregate 19.9% of the total voting power of all holders of Common Stock
entitled to vote thereon, and (y) the holders of record of shares of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to such number of votes for each share of Class A
Common Stock standing in each such person's name on the stock transfer records
of the Corporation as shall be necessary to entitle the holders of all shares of
Class A Common Stock to vote, in the aggregate, 80.1% of the total voting power
of all holders of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.  Promptly following the
fixing of a record date for each annual or special meeting of stockholders at
which directors are to be elected or a vote with respect to removal is to be
taken, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") shall determine
the number of votes per share of Class A Common Stock that each holder of record
of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to cast to implement the foregoing.
The determination of such number of votes by the Board shall be final and shall
be set forth in the notice of such meeting of stockholders delivered to the
holders of Common Stock.

              (B) With respect to all matters on which holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to vote other than the election or removal of directors, each
share of Class A Common Stock and each share of Class B Common Stock shall be
entitled to cast one (1) vote per share, and the approval of any such matter
shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of Class A
Common Stock and the shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding at the relevant
record date, with each class voting separately, in each case acting by such vote
as would be required under applicable law were such class of Common Stock the
only class of Common Stock of the Corporation then outstanding (or by such
greater vote than would be required under applicable law as may be set forth
herein or in the by-laws of the Corporation), as well as the approval of the
holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock which may be entitled to vote
thereon.

          (ii) Dividends.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or
               ---------

hereof and applicable law, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and holders
of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends
and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation as may be
declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the
Corporation legally available therefor; provided that if a dividend or other
distribution on any Common Stock is declared or paid by the Corporation (which
declaration and payment shall be solely in the discretion of the Board),
including, but not limited to, dividends or other 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
distributions payable in cash, Common Stock or options or warrants to purchase
Common Stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Stock, or
other securities or property of the Corporation, such dividend or other
distribution shall be declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock, and the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and
the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the
same amount per share of any such dividends and other distributions in cash,
securities or property of the Corporation (and with respect to dividends or
distributions not in cash, in the same form); provided, however, that nothing in
this Article IV shall prevent the declaration of a dividend or other
distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock to holders of Class A Common
Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock to holders of Class B Common Stock so
long as, immediately following such dividend or other distribution, the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then outstanding
bears the same relationship to each other as did the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or other distribution.

          (iii) Split, Subdivision or Combination.  In the case of any split, 
                ---------------------------------      
sub division, combination or reclassification of Class A Common Stock or Class B
Common Stock, the shares of Class B Common Stock or Class A Common Stock, as the
case may be, shall also be split, subdivided, combined or reclassified so that
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
outstanding immediately following such split, subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall bear the same relationship to each other as did the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification.

          (iv) Liquidation, Dissolution, Mergers, etc.  In the event of any
               --------------------------------------                      
liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary or involuntary) of the
Corporation, the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets and funds of the
Corporation available for distribution, after payments to creditors and to the
holders of any Preferred Stock of the Corporation that may at the time be
outstanding, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, respectively,
without regard to class.  In the event of any corporate merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of property or stock, or other reorganization in which
any consideration is to be received by the holders of Class A Common Stock or
the holders of Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock and the
holders of Class B Common Stock shall receive the same type and amount of
consideration on a per share basis.

          (v) Repurchases, etc.  The Corporation shall not directly or 
              ----------------       
indirectly redeem, purchase, repurchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
(including, without limitation, by directly or indirectly assisting or
supporting any other person or entity in any direct or indirect redemption,
purchase, repurchase or other acquisition for consideration), and shall not
directly or indirectly in any other fashion agree to, facilitate, condone or
support in any way or manner whatsoever any direct or indirect redemption,
purchase, repurchase or other acquisition for consideration by any person or
entity of, any shares of Common Stock unless such redemption, purchase,
repurchase or other acquisition is effected ratably in accordance with the
number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock,
is for 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
consideration of the same type and amount as to shares of Class A Common Stock
and shares of Class B Common Stock, and is not in any other way prejudicial to
the rights of the holders of one class of Common Stock in favor of the other
class of Common Stock; provided, however, that in the case of an offer to
purchase shares of Common Stock by the Corporation made to all holders of Common
Stock, the Corporation shall purchase shares of Common Stock ratably in
accordance with the number of shares of each class of Common Stock tendered
thereunder.

          (vi) Rights Otherwise Identical.  Except as expressly set forth 
               --------------------------             
herein, the rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and the rights of the
holders of Class B Common Stock shall be in all respects and for all purposes
and in all circumstances absolutely and completely identical, and the
Corporation shall not in any other manner directly or indirectly take any other
action or in any other fashion agree to, facilitate, condone or support any
transaction in which the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B
Common Stock are subject to discriminatory or unequal treatment.

          SECTION 3.  Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock may be issued from
                      ---------------

by resolution from time to time for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in
series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the DGCL (hereinafter referred
to as a "Preferred Stock Designation"), to establish from time to time the
number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation,
powers, privileges, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and
the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.  The authority of the
Board with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to,
determination of the following:

      (a) the designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number,
          letter or title;

      (b) the number of shares of the series, which number the Board may

          Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares
          thereof then outstanding);

      (c) whether dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative, and,
          in the case of shares of any series having cumulative dividend rights,
          the date or dates or method of determining the date or dates from
          which dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative;

      (d) the rate of any dividends (or method of determining such dividends)
          payable to the holders of the shares of such series, any conditions
          upon which such dividends shall be paid and the date or dates or the
          method for determining the date or dates upon which such dividends
          shall be payable;

      (e) the price or prices (or method of determining such price or prices) at
          which, the form of payment of such price or prices (which may be cash,
          property or rights, including securities of the same or another
          corporation or other entity) for which, the period or periods within
          which and the terms and conditions upon which the shares of such
          series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
          Corporation or at the option of the holder or holders thereof or upon
          the happening of a specified event or events, if any;

          shares of such series pursuant to a sinking fund or otherwise and the
          price or prices at which, the form of payment of such price or prices
          (which may be cash, property or rights, including securities of the
          same or another corporation or other entity) for which, the period or
          periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the
          shares of such series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in
          part, pursuant to such obligation;

      (g) the amount payable out of the assets of the Corporation to the holders
          of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
          Corporation;

      (h) provisions, if any, for the conversion or exchange of the shares of
          such series, at any time or times at the option of the holder or
          holders thereof or at the option of the Corporation or upon the
          happening of a specified event or events, into shares of any other
          class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or
          classes of stock, or any other security, of the Corporation, or any
          other corporation or other entity, and the price or prices or rate or
          rates of conversion or exchange and any adjustments applicable
          thereto, and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion
          or exchange may be made;

      (i) restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any
          other class or series, if any; and

      (j) the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series.

          SECTION 4.  Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.  The Board
                      ---------------------------------------------            
hereby authorizes the issuance of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock as follows:

          (a) Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series shall be 
              ----------------------              
designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A
Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be 4,000,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by
resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce
                                      -------- 
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the
number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon
the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation
convertible into Series A Preferred Stock.

           (b) Dividends and Distributions.
               --------------------------- 

               (i) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any
series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to
the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the
Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for
the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March,
June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to
herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction
of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the
nearest cent) equal to the greater of (A) $1 or (B) subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of
all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in
kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock
since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect
to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any
share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the
Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event under clause (B) of the preceding sentence shall
be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          (ii) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (i) of this subsection
immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the
event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock
during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next
subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1 per share on the
Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

          (iii) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next
preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such
shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date
of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend
and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such
dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date.  Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.  Dividends
paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total
amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time
outstanding.  The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination
of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of
a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

           (c) Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
               -------------                                                    
shall have the following voting rights:

               (i) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof
to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares
of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

              (ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate
of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by
law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares
of Class B Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

              (iii) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law,
holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and
their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to
vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate
action.

           (d) Certain Restrictions.
               -------------------- 

               (i) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section
4(b) are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

                   (A) declare or pay dividends, or make any other
          distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
          dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
          Series A Preferred Stock;

                   (B) declare or pay dividends, or make any other
          distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as
          to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the
          Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series
          A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
          dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts
          to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

                   (C) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
          shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred
          Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase
          or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for
          shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
          dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the
          Series A Preferred Stock; or

                   (D) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
          any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking
          on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance
          with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined
          by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such
          terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective
          annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the
          respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will
          result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or
          classes.

              (ii) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (i) of
this Section 4(d), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.

          (e) Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock 
              -----------------              
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of
Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock
subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the
Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designations
creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise
required by law.

          (f) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  Upon any liquidation,
              ----------------------------------- --                        
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1)
to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless,
prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have
received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends
and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment,
provided that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be
distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the
holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock,
except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such
parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number
of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to
such event under the proviso in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          (g) Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case the Corporation shall enter 
              ---------------------------     
into any consolidation, merger, other than the merger of Raytheon Company with
and into the Corporation, combination or other transaction in which the shares
of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities,
cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an
amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any
other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which
each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than
by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser
number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in
the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event.

          (h) No Redemption.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall 
              -------------     
not be redeemable.

          (i) Rank.  The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to 
              ----              
the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of
any other class of the Corporation's Preferred Stock.

          (j) Amendment.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation 
              ---------                   
shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the
powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to
affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting
together as a single class.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
          SECTION 5.  General.  The Common Stock shall be subject to the express
                      -------                                                   
terms of the Preferred Stock and any series thereof.  Except as otherwise
provided by law or by the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board
designating the rights, powers and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock,
the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of
directors and for all other purposes, and holders of Preferred Stock shall not
be entitled to receive notice of any meeting of stockholders at which they are
not entitled to vote. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the person in
whose name any share of its stock is registered as the owner thereof for all
purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or
interest in, such share on the part of any other person, whether or not the
Corporation shall have notice thereof, except as expressly provided by
applicable law.

                                    ARTICLE V
                               Stockholder Action

          Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of
the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of
such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders.
Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of
any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to
dividends or upon liquidation, special meetings of stockholders of the
Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Board pursuant
to a resolution stating the purpose or purposes thereof approved by a majority
of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were
no vacancies (the "Whole Board") or by the Chairman of the Board and any power
of stockholders to call a special meeting is specifically denied.  No business
other than that stated in the notice shall be transacted at any special meeting.

                                    ARTICLE VI
                               Board of Directors

          SECTION 1.  Number, election and terms.  The number of directors of 
                      --------------------------       
the Corporation shall be, except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to the
provisions of Article IV relating to the rights of the holders of any class or
series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or
upon liquidation to elect additional directors under specified circumstances,
fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a
majority of the Whole Board (but shall not be less than three). The directors,
other than those who may be elected by the holders of any class or series of
stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation, shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they
severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as
possible, one class to be originally elected for a term expiring at the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held in 1998, another class to be originally
elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in
1999, and another class to be originally elected for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2000, with each director to hold
office until such person's successor is duly elected and qualified. At each
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those
directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to
expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their
election, with 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
each director to hold office until such person's successor shall have been duly
elected and qualified.

          SECTION 2.  Stockholder nomination of director candidates; Stockholder
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
Proposal of Business.  Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the
- --------------------                                                    
election of directors and of the proposal of business by stockholders shall be
given in the manner provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation, as amended and
in effect from time to time.

          SECTION 3.  Newly created directorships and vacancies.  Except as
                      -----------------------------------------            
otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV
relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a
preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect
directors under specified circumstances, (i) newly created directorships
resulting from any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a
quorum of the Board, and not by the stockholders and (ii) newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors after the
adoption of a resolution by a majority of the Whole Board in accordance with
Section 1 of this Article VI shall be filled by the affirmative vote of the
holders of Common Stock, voting in accordance with the provisions of Section
2(a)(i) of Article IV regarding election of directors at the next succeeding
annual or special meeting of stockholders.  Any director appointed in accordance
with clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall hold office until the next
annual or special meeting of stockholders and until such director's successor
shall have been duly elected and qualified.  Any director elected in accordance
with clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder
of the full term of the class of director in which the new directorship was
created and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified.  No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall
shorten the term of any incumbent director.

          SECTION 4.  Removal.  Subject to the rights of any class or series of
                      -------                                                  
stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances, any director may
be removed from office only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of
the shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class in the same manner
and with the same votes per share as provided in Section 2(a)(i) of Article IV
with respect to the election of directors (i.e.  with the holders of Class A
Common Stock having 80.1% of the total voting power to remove directors and the
number of votes per share necessary to achieve such voting power determined by
the Board).

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                    By-Laws

          The By-Laws may be altered or repealed and new By-Laws may be adopted
(1) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, by the affirmative vote of
the holders of the shares of Common Stock voting in accordance with Section
2(a)(ii) of Article IV; provided, however, that in the case of any such
stockholder action at a special meeting of stockholders, notice of the 

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
proposed alteration, repeal or adoption of the new By-law or By-Laws must be
contained in the notice of such special meeting, or (2) by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the Whole Board.

                                 ARTICLE VIII
                   Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation

          The Corporation reserves the right at any time from time to time to
amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of
Incorporation, and any other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of
Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or
hereafter prescribed by law; and, except as set forth in Article X, all rights,
preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders,
directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of
Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to
the right reserved in this Article.

                                  ARTICLE IX
                                Corporate Action

          In addition to any other considerations which the Board may lawfully
take into account, in determining whether to take or to refrain from taking
corporate action on any matter, including making or declining to make any
recommendation to the stockholders of the Corporation, the Board may in its
discretion consider the long-term as well as short-term best interests of the
Corporation (including the possibility that these interests may be best served
by the continued independence of the Corporation), taking into account, and
weighing as the directors deem appropriate, the effects of such action on
employees, suppliers and customers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and
the effect upon communities in which offices or other facilities of the
Corporation are located, and any other factors the directors consider pertinent.

                                   ARTICLE X
                       Limited Liability; Indemnification

          SECTION 1.  Limited Liability of Directors.  A director of the
                      ------------------------------                    
Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of Section 1 of this Article X shall eliminate
or reduce the effect of Section 1 of this Article X in respect of any matter
occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for Section 1 of this
Article X would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment or repeal.

          SECTION 2.  Indemnification and Insurance.  (a) Right to
                      -----------------------------               
Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be
made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by
reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether
the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a
director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or
officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgment, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer, and
shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators;
provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section,
the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall
include the right to have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending
any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; any advance payments to
be paid by the Corporation within 20 calendar days after the receipt by the
Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such
advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that, if and to the
extent the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer in such person's capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or
officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon
delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director
or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under
this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from
time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to have
the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance
of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the
fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
Corporation.

          (b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under paragraph (a)
of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 calendar days
after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at
any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall
be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be
a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of
conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to
indemnify the 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be
on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption
that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

          (c)  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person (including, without limitation, any person other than an
officer or director of the Corporation) may have or hereafter acquire under any
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.  No repeal or
modification of this Article shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the
rights of any director or officer of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any
occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

          (d)  Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the DGCL.

          (e)  Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Article X
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
(1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of
this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without
limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any
such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed
so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable.

                                  ARTICLE II
                                 Stockholders


     Section 2.1.  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Corporation shall be held on such date and at such time as may be fixed by
resolution of the Board.

     Section 2.2.  Special Meeting.  Except as otherwise required by law and
subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a
preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, special
meetings of stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be
called only by (i) the Board pursuant to a resolution stating the purpose or
purposes thereof approved by a majority of the total number of directors which
the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the "Whole Board") or
(ii) by the Chairman of the Board. No business other than that stated in the
notice shall be transacted at any special meeting.

     Section 2.3.  Place of Meeting.  The Board or the Chairman of the Board, as
the case may be, may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or
for any special meeting of the stockholders. If no designation is so made, the
place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation.

     Section 2.4.  Notice of Meeting.  Written or printed notice stating (i) the
place, day and hour of the meeting, (ii) with respect to a meeting to elect or
remove directors, the number of votes per share of Class A Common Stock that
record holders of Class A Common Stock will have at such meeting (as such number
is determined in accordance with Section 2(a)(i) of Article IV of the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation")), and (iii) the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called, shall be delivered by the Corporation not less than 10 calendar days nor
more than 60 calendar days before the date of the meeting, either personally or
by mail, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United
States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at such
person's address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law. Only such business
shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been
brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.
Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are
present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with Section
6.4 of these By-

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Laws.  Any previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed,
and any special meeting of the stockholders may be canceled, by resolution of
the Board upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for
such meeting of stockholders.

          Section 2.5.  Quorum and Adjournment; Voting.  Except as otherwise
provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a
majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Voting
Stock"), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a
meeting of stockholders, except that when specified business is to be voted on
by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of
the shares of each such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class
or series for the transaction of such business and a quorum of each such class
or series entitled to vote thereon shall be required to act.  To the extent that
a quorum is present with respect to consideration of and action on a particular
matter or matters but a quorum is not present as to another matter or matters,
consideration of and action on the matter or matters for which a quorum is
present may occur, and, after such consideration and action, the meeting may be
adjourned for purposes of the consideration of and action on the matter or
matters for which a quorum is not present.  The Chairman of the meeting may
adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum.
No notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given except as
required by law.  The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a
quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a
quorum.

          Section 2.6.  Proxies.  At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder
may vote by proxy executed in writing (or in such manner prescribed by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")) by the
stockholder, or by such person's duly authorized attorney in fact.

          Section 2.7.  Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

          (A)  Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

          (1)  Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal
of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual
meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting
pursuant to Section 2.4 of these By-Laws, (b) by or at the direction of the
Board, or (c) by any
               
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of
giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the
meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

          (2)  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of
this By-Law, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a
proper matter for stockholder action.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice
shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th calendar day nor
earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in
the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 calendar days
before or more than 60 calendar days after such anniversary date, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of
business on the 120th calendar day prior to such annual meeting and not later
than the close of business on the later of the 90th calendar day prior to such
annual meeting or the 10th calendar day following the calendar day on which
public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the
Corporation.  For purposes of determining whether a stockholder's notice shall
have been delivered in a timely manner for the annual meeting of stockholders in
1998, the first anniversary of the previous year's meeting shall be deemed to be
May 31, 1998. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an
annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's
notice as described above. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to
each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-
election as a director all information relating to such person that is required
to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an
election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation
14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's written consent to being
named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring
before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and
any financial interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the
stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder,
as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii)
the class and number of shares of
                       
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder
and such beneficial owner.

          (3)  Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph
(A)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors
to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by
the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size
of the increased Board at least 100 calendar days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice
required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect
to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not later than the close of business on the 10th calendar day following the day
on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

          (B)  Special Meetings of Stockholders.

          Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Cor
poration's notice of meeting under Section 2.4 of these By-Laws.  Nominations of
persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of
stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's
notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board, or (b) provided that
the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any
stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of
giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who shall be entitled to vote at
the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-
Law.  In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for
the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any stockholder may
nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such
position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting pursuant to such
clause (b), if the stockholder's notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this By-
Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day
prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the 90th calendar day prior to such special meeting or the 10th
calendar day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the
date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be
elected at such meeting.  In no event shall the public announcement of an
adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder's notice as described above.

          (C)  General.

          (1)  Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and
only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have
been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this By-Law.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power
and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be
brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any proposed
nomination or business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to declare that
such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

          (2)  For purposes of this By-Law, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated
Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13,
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

          (3)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a 
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set
forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any
rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the
Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14-8 under the Exchange Act or
(ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under an
applicable Preferred Stock Designation (as defined in the Certificate of
Incorporation).

          Section 2.8.  Procedure for Election of Directors; Required Vote.
Election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are
to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of
any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under an applicable Preferred
Stock Designation, a plurality of the votes cast thereat shall elect directors.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, Preferred
Stock Designation, or these By-Laws, in all matters other than the election of
directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on
the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

          Section 2.9.  Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.
The Board by resolution shall appoint, or shall authorize an officer of the
Corporation to appoint, one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors
may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities,
including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or
representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written
report thereof.  One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors
to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate has
been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the
Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the
meeting.  Each inspector, before discharging such person's duties, shall take
and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict
impartiality and according to the best of such person's ability.  The
inspector(s) shall have the duties prescribed by law.  The Chairman of the
meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening
and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will
vote at a meeting.

          Section 2.10.  No Stockholder Action by Written Consent.  Any action
required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be
effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not
be effected by any consent in writing by such holders.

 
                                  ARTICLE III
                               Board of Directors

          Section 3.1.  General Powers.  The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed under the direction of the Board.  In addition to
the powers and authorities by these By-Laws expressly conferred upon them, the
Board may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful
acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or
by these By-Laws required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

          Section 3.2.  Number and Tenure.  Except as otherwise fixed by or
pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation
relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a
preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect
additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of the directors
of the Corporation shall be as set forth in, and fixed from time to time
exclusively in the manner set forth in, Article VI of the Certificate of
Incorporation.

          Section 3.3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board shall be
held without other notice than this By-Law immediately after, and at the same
place as, the annual meeting of stockholders. The Board may, by resolution,

RAYTHEON COMPLETES MERGER WITH HUGHES AIRCRAFT, ANNOUNCES CREATION OF RAYTHEON 
SYSTEMS COMPANY

LEXINGTON, MA (12/18/98) -- Raytheon Company announced today the completion of 
its merger with Hughes defense, creating one of the largest industrial 
corporations in the United States.

At the same time, Raytheon announced the formation of Raytheon Systems Company
and appointed William H. Swanson as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of that
new organization. Raytheon Systems Company will be headquartered in the
Washington, D.C. area and will include the Hughes defense operations and the
operations that have been part of Raytheon Electronic Systems, Raytheon TI
Systems, and Raytheon E-Systems. Raytheon Systems Company will be one of the
world's largest defense contractors and will operate as part of Raytheon
Company.

"Our strategy has been to remain a top tier company in a consolidating defense 
industry," said Dennis J. Picard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 
Raytheon Company.  "The historic merger with Hughes defense and our earlier 
acquisitions have enabled us to achieve that strategy.  Today, we can proudly 
say that we are a global technology leader and a defense electronics powerhouse.
We also continue to remain strong in our commercial businesses, with leadership
positions in general aviation aircraft, commercial electronics and engineering 
and construction."

The value of the transaction is $9.5 billion, with $4.04 billion in debt and 
$5.46 billion in equity.  This debt/equity split is based on a 30-day collar 
period average market price of $53.21 per share of Raytheon stock.  Raytheon 
announced its agreement to merge with Hughes defense in January, 1997.  The 
merger was approved by the United States Department of Justice in October and by
stockholders of Raytheon, General Motors

<PAGE>
(GM$1 2/3 par value) and GM Class "H" stock in December. The merger was
completed yesterday.

"We have been focusing on how best to combine the Raytheon and Hughes
operations since we first announced the merger in January," said Picard. "We 
will now move quickly--as shown by today's announcement of Raytheon Systems 
Company--to take the steps necessary to ensure that we remain competitive. Our 
goal is to create an organization that we believe will set a new standard of 
excellence in the products and services we provide to our customers, creating 
exciting opportunities for our employees and strong returns for our 
shareholders."

"I am pleased to announce the appointment of William H. Swanson as Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer of Raytheon Systems Company," said Picard. "Bill's 
outstanding record of achievement at Raytheon while serving in key positions 
such as General Manager of Raytheon Electronic Systems makes him ideally suited 
to the needs of Raytheon Systems Company. With extensive experience in a wide 
range of defense products, a strong background in converting defense 
technologies to commercial applications and a demonstrated ability to integrate 
complex organizations, I am confident that Bill will be a superb leader of 
Raytheon Systems Company." Swanson will report directly to Chairman and CEO 
Picard.

Raytheon also announced the appointment of Ken C. Dahlberg as President and 
Chief Operating Officer of Raytheon Systems Company, reporting to Swanson. 
Dahlberg was formerly a Corporate Vice President of Hughes Electronics 
Corporation and a Senior Vice President of Hughes Aircraft Company. At Hughes, 
Dahlberg was also President of the Sensors and Communications Systems 
organization. "Ken Dahlberg has had a career defined by excellence in a wide 
variety of capacities at Hughes," said Picard. "Together, he and Bill Swanson 
will make an outstanding management team fully capable of leading Raytheon 
Systems Company into the next century."

Raytheon also announced that, in keeping with his previous plans, A. Lowell 
Lawson, currently the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Raytheon 
E-Systems, will retire in January, 1998. Lawson will remain on Raytheon's board 
until the completion of his current term in May, 1998. Also, John C. Weaver, 
currently President and Chief Operating Officer of Hughes Aircraft Company, has 
been elected as an Executive Vice President of Raytheon Company. Weaver will 
take over responsibility for Engineering
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
 
and Business Development in April 1998 on retirement of Renso Caporali, 
currently Senior Vice President for Engineering and Business Development for 
Raytheon Company.

"Lowell Lawson's contributions both to Raytheon Company and to the security of 
the United States during his long career have been enormous," said Picard.  "His
experience will be missed.  Renso Caporali has done a superb job in helping to 
grow our business development organization and in ensuring engineering 
excellence throughout the company.  At the same time, however, I am pleased to 
be welcoming such a distinguished individual as John Weaver into the top ranks 
of Raytheon Company."

With the addition of Hughes defense, Raytheon Company will have revenues of more
than $20 billion on a 1997 pro forma basis.  The new Raytheon Systems Company 
will account for approximately US$14.5 billion on a 1997 pro forma basis.

Raytheon Systems Company
- ------------------------

"Raytheon Systems Company is now, without question, a world leader in electronic
systems, the most dynamic segment of the defense business," said William H. 
Swanson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Raytheon Systems Company.  "We 
will encourage creativity, innovation and engineering excellence among our 
employees and focus on providing unparalleled value to our customers."

"Raytheon Electronic Systems, Raytheon TI Systems, Raytheon E-Systems and Hughes
defense will be stronger together than they would have been separately,"
continued Swanson. "The combination of these companies into Raytheon Systems
Company puts us in a better position to win new programs in the future by
lowering costs, allowing us to focus our independent research and development,
and bringing together the finest people and technologies in the defense
business."

Raytheon Systems Company will have five major business segments:  Defense 
Systems; Sensors and Electronic Systems; Command, Control and Communications 
(C/3/) Systems; Intelligence, Information and Aircraft Integration Systems; and 
Training and Services.  Each segment will be managed by an Executive Vice 
President of Raytheon Systems Company who will report to Swanson and Dahlberg.  
This five-segment structure is designed to bring together all the resources of 
the company in key product areas in order to provide customers with 
state-of-the-art, cost-effective systems.  Details of the segments are as 
follows:

NOTE: This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve a 
number of risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual 
results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking 
statements are set forth under "Item 1--Business" of Raytheon's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. These include the ability to 
integrate Hughes Defense with Raytheon, including Raytheon TI Systems ("RTIS"). 
The combination of Raytheon, RTIS and Hughes Defense will require, among other 
things, integration of RTIS and Hughes Defense organizations, business 
infrastructure and products with those of Raytheon in a way that enhances the 
performance of the combined businesses. The challenges posed by these 
transactions include the integration of numerous geographically separated 
manufacturing facilities and research and development centers. The success of 
this transition to an integrated entity will be significantly influenced by 
Raytheon's ability to retain key employees, to integrate differing management 
structures and to realize anticipated cost synergies, all of which will require 
significant management time and resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Raytheon Company
Lexington, Mass.
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Raytheon Company and
Subsidiaries Consolidated as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Raytheon Company and
Subsidiaries Consolidated as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
Boston, Mass.

                 RAYTHEON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE A: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent
company and all domestic and foreign subsidiary companies. The books of the
parent and all subsidiaries are maintained on a calendar year basis. All
material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the
1995 and 1994 financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform
with the 1996 presentation. Certain accounts were reclassified in the
statements of income to reconcile operating income with segment income.
 
 Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
 
  Cash and cash equivalents include only cash and short-term, highly liquid
investments (those with original maturities when purchased of 90 days or less).
 
  Cash equivalents and marketable securities are valued in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115) (see note P).
Dividends are recorded as income when declared.
 
 Contracts in Process
 
  Sales under long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage of
completion method, wherein costs and estimated gross margin are recorded as
sales as the work is performed. Costs include direct engineering and
manufacturing costs, applicable overheads, and special tooling and test
equipment. Estimated gross margin provides for the recovery of allocable
research, development (including bid proposal), marketing and administration
costs, and for accrued income. Accrued income is based on the percentage of
estimated total income that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total
costs after giving effect to the most recent estimates of cost and funding at
completion. When appropriate, increased funding is assumed based on expected
adjustments of contract prices for increased scope and other changes ordered by
the customer. Some contracts contain incentive provisions based upon
performance in relation to established targets to which applicable recognition
has been given in the contract estimates. Since many contracts extend over a
long period of time, revisions in cost and funding estimates during the
progress of work have the effect of adjusting in the current period earnings
applicable to performance in prior periods. When the current contract estimate
indicates a loss, provision is made for the total anticipated loss. In
accordance with these practices, contracts in process are stated at cost plus
estimated profit but not in excess of realizable value.
 
 Inventories
 
  Aircraft inventories at Raytheon Aircraft, except finished goods, are stated
at the lower of cost (principally last-in, first-out) or market. Work in
process is stated at total cost incurred reduced by estimated costs of units
delivered.
 
  All other inventories are stated at cost (principally first-in, first-out or
average basis) but not in excess of net realizable value.
 
 Research and Development Expenses
 
  Research and development expenditures for company-sponsored projects are
expensed as incurred.

 Property, Plant, and Equipment
 
  Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Betterments and major
renewals are capitalized and included in property, plant, and equipment
accounts while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are
charged to expense. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
 
                                                                      APPENDIX C

                 RAYTHEON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  Provisions for depreciation are computed generally on the sum-of-the-years-
digits method, except for certain operations, which use the straight-line or
declining-balance method. Depreciation provisions are based on estimated useful
lives: buildings--20 to 45 years; machinery and equipment, including production
tooling--3 to 10 years; equipment leased to others--5 to 10 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease
or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
 
 Excess of Cost Over Net Assets of Acquired Companies
 
  The excess of cost over net assets acquired is amortized on the straight-line
method over its estimated useful life but not in excess of 40 years. The
company evaluates the possible impairment of goodwill at each reporting period
based on the undiscounted projected cash flows of the related business unit.
 
 Investments
 
  Investments, which are included in Other Assets, include equity ownership of
20 percent to 50 percent in affiliated companies and of less than 20 percent in
other companies. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for under
the equity method, wherein the company's share of their earnings and income
taxes applicable to the assumed distribution of such earnings are included in
net income. Other investments are stated at the lower of cost or fair market
value and certain available for sale investments are accounted in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 115.
 
 Commissions
 
  The company pays commissions to sales representatives, distributors, and
agents under various arrangements in return for services rendered in connection
with obtaining orders. Such commissions are charged to income as related sales
are recorded and, for income statement purposes, are applied as a reduction of
sales. In some cases, payment of such commissions is made upon the company's
receipt of advance payments under the related contracts or in accordance with
schedules contained in the contracts governing commissions, and such amounts
are applied as a reduction of advance payments received. Sales have been
reduced by $30,337,000, $36,958,000 and $32,552,000 in 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively, for commission expense.
 
 Federal and Foreign Income Taxes
 
  The company and its domestic subsidiaries provide for federal income taxes on
pretax accounting income at rates in effect under existing tax law. The
recovery of foreign tax credits related to foreign contracts, Foreign Sale
Corporation (FSC) tax benefits, and other tax credits are recorded on a flow-
through basis. Foreign subsidiaries have recorded provisions for income taxes
at applicable foreign tax rates in a similar manner.
 
 Lease Accounting
 
  Revenue from certain qualifying noncancelable aircraft lease contracts are
accounted for as sales-type leases wherein the present values of all payments,
net of executory costs, are recorded currently as revenues, and the related
costs of the aircraft are charged to cost of sales. Associated interest, using
the interest method, is recorded over the term of the lease agreements. All
other leases for aircraft are accounted for under the operating method wherein
revenues are recorded as earned over the rental aircraft lives. Service
revenues are recognized ratably over contractual periods or as services are
performed.
 
 Pension Cost
 
  The company and its subsidiaries have several pension and retirement plans
covering the majority of employees, including certain employees in foreign
countries.

                 RAYTHEON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  Annual charges to income are made for costs of the plans, including current
service costs, interest on projected benefit obligations, and net amortization
and deferral (unrecognized net obligation (asset) at transition, unrecognized
prior service costs, and actuarial net gains or losses), increased or reduced
by the return on assets. Unfunded accumulated benefit obligations are accounted
for as a long-term liability on the balance sheet. It is the company's policy
to fund annually those pension costs which are calculated in accordance with
Internal Revenue Service regulations and standards issued by the Cost
Accounting Standards Board.
 
 Translation of Foreign Currencies
 
  Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current
exchange rates, and the effects of these translation adjustments are reported
as a component of equity adjustments in stockholders' equity. The balances at
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $3,840,000, $6,911,000, and
($3,463,000), respectively. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in
1996, 1995, and 1994 were not material.
 
 Employee Stock Plans
 
  Proceeds from the exercise of stock options under the employee stock plans
are credited to common stock at par value, and the excess of the option price
over par value is credited to additional paid-in capital. There are no charges
or credits to income with respect to the options. The market value at the date
of award of restricted stock awards is credited to common stock at par value,
and the excess is credited to additional paid-in capital. The market value is
also charged to income as compensation expense over the vesting period. Income
tax benefits arising from restricted stock transactions, employees' premature
disposition of option shares, and exercise of nonqualified stock options are
credited to additional paid-in capital.
 
  The company adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, in 1996. The standard defines a fair
value based method of accounting for employee stock options. The pro forma net
income and earnings per share effect of the fair value based accounting is
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
 
 Earnings Per Common Share
 
  Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each year.
 
  Fully diluted earnings per common share include the additional shares
resulting from the assumed exercise of all outstanding dilutive stock options
reduced by the number of shares repurchasable from the assumed proceeds of such
options.
 
 Restructuring and Special Items
 
  The company announced in the third quarter of 1996 that it would exit the
manual-clean range market and dispose of the assets, including the facility of
the Delaware, Ohio, operation. A $34.0 million pre-tax charge ($22.1 million
after tax) was recorded for this closing. For 1996, earnings, earnings per
share and fully diluted earnings per share were $783.3 million, $3.30 and $3.25
respectively, excluding the special charge. The company recorded in the fourth
quarter of 1995 a net pre-tax gain of $210 million from the sale of D.C. Heath,
its educational publishing unit. The company adopted statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of, in the fourth quarter of 1995 which resulted in a $125
million pre-tax special charge ($81.2 million after tax) related to specific
assets, liabilities or commitments, and nonrecurring charges of $77 million,
related principally to inventory and contract valuations. The net gain resulted
in a $5.2 million after-tax increase to net income, or $.02 per share. For
1995, earnings, earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share were
$787.3 million, $3.23 and $3.18 respectively, excluding the one-time gain.
 
                                                                      APPENDIX C

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  The company recorded in the first quarter of 1994 a restructuring provision
of $249.8 million before tax. The restructuring was driven by the significant
reductions in the defense budget and increasing commercial competition.
Approximately 65 percent of the restructuring costs were attributable to
Raytheon's defense business and the remainder to its commercial business.
 
  Through year-end 1996, $249.3 million of restructuring costs have been
incurred, of which $103.4 million was employee-related costs and $145.9 million
was related to asset disposals and idle facilities. For 1994, earnings,
earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share were $759.2 million,
$2.87 and $2.85 respectively, excluding the restructuring provision.
 
 Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Rate Locks
 and Foreign Exchange Contracts
 
  The company enters into interest rate and foreign currency interest rate swap
agreements with commercial banks to reduce the impact of changes in interest
rates and foreign exchange rates on long-term debt and on financing
arrangements with customers and foreign subsidiaries. The company meets its
working capital requirements mainly with variable rate short-term financing.
Interest rate swaps are used to provide purchasers of the company's products
with fixed financing terms over extended time periods. Cross-currency interest
rates swaps have allowed the company's foreign subsidiaries to meet borrowing
needs at lower interest rates compared to local borrowing. The company also
enters into foreign exchange contracts to minimize fluctuations in the value of
payments due to international vendors and the value of foreign currency
denominated receipts. The hedges used by the company are transaction driven and
are directly related to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which
a commitment is in place. Swaps and foreign exchange contracts are held to
maturity and no exchange traded or over-the-counter instruments have been
purchased. The impact on the financial position and results of operations from
likely changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates is not material due
to the minimizing of risk through the hedging of transactions related to
specific assets, liabilities, or commitments.
 
 Risks and Uncertainties
 
  Companies such as Raytheon, which are engaged in supplying defense-related
equipment to the government, are subject to certain business risks peculiar to
that industry. Sales to the government may be affected by changes in
procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national
defense, political developments abroad and other factors. As a result of the
1985 Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Reduction Control Act, the federal
deficit and changing world order conditions, Department of Defense (DoD)
budgets have been subject to increasing pressure resulting in an uncertainty as
to the future effects of DoD budget cuts. Raytheon has, nonetheless, maintained
a solid foundation of tactical defense systems which meet the needs of the
United States and its allies, as well as servicing a broad government program
base and wide range of commercial electronic businesses. These factors lead
management to believe that there is high probability of continuation of
Raytheon's current major tactical defense programs.
 
  The company provides long-term financing principally to its aircraft
customers. The company sells general and regional aviation long-term
receivables to a bank syndicate and a fractional ownership in a defined pool of
trade receivables to financial institutions. The banks have recourse against
the company, at varying percentages, depending on the character of the
receivables sold. The underlying aircraft serve as collateral for the
receivables, and the future resale value of the aircraft is an important
consideration in the transaction. Based on the company's experience to date
with resale activities and pricing, management believes that any liability
arising from these transactions will not have a material effect on the
company's financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  The U.S. government has a security title to unbilled amounts associated with
contracts that provide for progress payments.
 
  Unbilled amounts are recorded on the percentage of completion method and are
recoverable from the customer upon shipment of the product, presentation of
billings, or completion of the contract. It is anticipated that substantially
all of these unbilled amounts, net of progress payments, will be collected
during 1997.
 
  Billed and unbilled contracts in process include retentions arising from
contractual provisions. At December 31, 1996, retentions amounted to
$65,285,000 and are anticipated to be collected as follows: 1997--$41,144,000,
1998--$6,352,000, and the balance thereafter.

  Long-term receivables and sales-type leases due from customers, of $197.5
million at December 31, 1996, and $150.5 million at December 31, 1995, included
commuter airline receivables of $116.1 million and $47.1 million, respectively.
Since it is the company's policy to have the aircraft serve as collateral for
the commuter airline receivables, management does not expect to incur any
material losses against the net book value of the long-term receivables. The
company sold general and commuter aviation long-term receivables to a bank
syndicate and sold a fractional ownership in a defined pool of engineering &
construction and commercial appliance trade receivables to financial
institutions. The interest rate on the general aviation receivables is
LIBOR+.55% and on the commuter receivables LIBOR+.4% and +.35% and on the trade
receivables commercial paper rate +.225% to +.29%. The interest rates are
adjusted based on the company's debt rating.
 
  The banks have a first priority claim on all proceeds, including the
underlying equipment and any insurance proceeds, and have recourse against the
company, at varying percentages, depending upon the character of the
receivables sold. The balance of receivables sold to banks or financial
institutions and outstanding at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, was
$2,493.7 million and $1,912.4 million, respectively, of which 1996 net proceeds
of $581.3 million included $288.3 million for commuter and general aviation
aircraft.
 
  The company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 125,

  Interest expense on long-term debt charged to income was $103,187,000,
$52,122,000, and $1,158,000 for 1996 through 1994, respectively.
 
  Commercial paper in the amount of $375,000,000 has been classified as long-
term due to company borrowings of that amount which are supported by a 5 year
Syndicated Bank Credit Agreement combined with a 5 year fixed for variable
interest rate swap.
 
  In 1995, the company issued $375,000,000 of 30 year, 7.375 percent debentures
due in 2025, redeemable after ten years, and $750,000,000 of ten year 6.50
percent notes due in 2005. The proceeds from these issues were used for
acquisition financing.
 
  The principal amounts of debt were reduced by debt issue discounts and costs
at December 31, 1996, as follows:

  The company has bank agreement covenants which require (1) That the ratio of
total debt to total capitalization not exceed 55%, and (2) That the sum of
profit before tax plus net interest expense be at least three times net
interest expense over the prior four fiscal quarters. The company was in
compliance with these covenants during 1996 and 1995.

  Defense contractors are subject to many levels of audit and investigation.
Among agencies that oversee contract performance are the Defense Contract Audit
Agency, the Inspector General, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the
General Accounting Office, the Department of Justice, and Congressional
Committees. Over recent years, the Department of Justice has convened Grand
Juries from time to time to investigate possible irregularities by the company
in government contracting. Management believes that such investigations,

individually and in the aggregate, will not have any material adverse effect
upon the financial condition of the company.
 
  The company self-insures for losses and expenses for aircraft product
liability up to a maximum of $50 million annually. Excess insurance is
purchased from third parties to cover excess aggregate liability exposure from
$50 million to $1 billion. This coverage also includes the excess of liability
over $10 million per occurrence. The aircraft product liability reserve at
December 31, 1996 was $27.5 million.
 
  Recurring costs associated with the company's environmental compliance
program are not material and are expensed as incurred. Capital expenditures in
connection with environmental compliance are not material. The company is
involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup relative to remediation
of various sites. All appropriate costs incurred in connection therewith have
been expensed. Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the
varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and
technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage, and the unresolved extent
of the company's responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate
outcome of these matters. However, in the opinion of management, any additional
liability will not have a material effect on the company's financial position,
liquidity, or results of operations after giving effect to provisions already
recorded.
 
  The company will adopt the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities, in 1997. The
adoption of the standard will not have a material effect on the company's
financial position or results of operations.
 
  The company issues guarantees and has banks issue, on its behalf, letters of
credit to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance
payment obligations. Approximately $1,363 million, $979 million and $519
million of these contingent obligations, net of related outstanding advance
payments, were outstanding at December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
These instruments expire on various dates through the year 2003.
 
  Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal
course of business are pending or threatened against the company. While the
ultimate liability from these proceedings is presently indeterminable, in the
opinion of management, any additional liability will not have a material effect
on the company's financial position, liquidity, or results of operations after
giving effect to provisions already recorded.
 
NOTE K: EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
 
  The 1976 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of both incentive and
nonqualified options at an exercise price which is 100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant. The 1991 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant
of incentive options at an exercise price which is 100% of the fair market
value, and non-qualified options at an exercise price which may be less than
the fair market value on the date of grant. The 1995 Stock Option Plan provides
for the grant of both incentive and nonqualified options at an exercise price
which is not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant.
 
  The plans also provide that all options may be exercised in their entirety 12
months after the date of grant. Incentive options terminate 10 years from the
date of grant, and those options granted after Dec. 31, 1986 become exercisable
to a maximum of $100,000 per year. Nonqualified options terminate 11 years from
the date of grant or 10 years and a day if issued in connection with the 1995
plan. The 1991 plan also provides for the award of restricted stock and
restricted units. Restricted awards are made at prices determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and are compensatory in

unearned compensation is charged to share-owners' equity for the cost of
restricted stock and recognized as compensation expense ratably over the
vesting periods, as applicable. Awards of 19,500; 256,000; and 380,000 shares
of restricted stock were made to employees at a weighted average value at the
grant date of $50.87, $38.07, and $32.29 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The amount of compensation expense recorded was $6.9 million, $4.8 million and
$2.9 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  The company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for its
plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-
based compensation plans other than for restricted stock. The company has
adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation
cost was recognized for the stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the
company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the
grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the methodology
prescribed under SFAS No.123, the company's net income and earnings per share
would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

1995 and additional awards in future years are anticipated.
 
NOTE L: PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
 
  The company and its subsidiaries have several pension and retirement plans
covering the majority of employees, including certain employees in foreign
countries. The major plans covering salaried and management employees provide
pension benefits that are based on the five highest consecutive years of the
employee's compensation in the ten years before retirement. Plans covering
hourly and union employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for
each year of service, but in some cases can also use a final average pay based
calculation. The company's funding policy for the salaried plans is to
contribute annually at a rate that is intended to remain at a level percentage
of compensation for the covered employees. The company's funding policy on the
hourly and union plans is to contribute annually at a rate that is intended to
remain level for the covered employees. Unfunded prior service costs under the
funding policy are generally amortized over periods from 10 to 30 years.
 
  Total pension expense was $93,283,000; $31,156,000; and $29,908,000; in 1996
through 1994, respectively. Foreign pension expense was $9,937,000; $8,287,000;
and $4,866,000 in 1996 through 1994, respectively.
 
 
                                                                      APPENDIX C

liabilities to participants and beneficiaries in accordance with section 4044
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Any remaining assets
will be applied on a pro rata basis to increase the benefits to the
participants and beneficiaries.
 
  In addition to providing pension benefits, the company and most of its
subsidiaries provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees. Substantially all of the company's U.S. employees may become
eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working
for the company. Retiree health plans are paid for in part by retiree
contributions, which are adjusted annually. Benefits are provided through
various insurance companies whose charges are based either on the benefits paid
during the year or annual premiums. Health benefits are provided to retirees,
their covered dependents and beneficiaries. Retiree life insurance plans are
noncontributory and cover the retiree only.
 
  In 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions,
which requires recognition of an accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
for retiree costs existing at the time of implementation, as well as an
incremental expense recognition for changes in the obligation attributable to
each successive year. Prior to 1995, all company segments had elected to
amortize past service costs over the allowable 20 year period. During 1995 the
company acquired E-Systems, Inc. who had elected in 1992 to recognize all its
past service cost immediately upon implementation.
 
  The company is funding the liability for many salaried and hourly employees
and plans to continue to do so. The net postretirement benefit cost for the
company and its subsidiaries in 1996, 1995 and 1994 included the following
components:

    of Accrued Pension Cost, $15,041,000 of Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit
    Cost and $235,383,000 of Accrued Postretirement Benefit Cost, were a result
    of having acquired E-Systems, Inc. in April 1995.
(2) Various plan curtailments were recognized, as a result of workforce
    reductions which were planned as part of the restructuring program.
(3) Benefit enhancements were made to various plans during the year in order to
    accelerate attrition through voluntary retirements.
 
  The company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112
(FAS 112), Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, in 1994. FAS 112
requires that benefits to be paid for former or inactive employees after
employment but prior to retirement must be accrued if certain criteria are met.
The adoption of FAS 112 had no material financial impact on the company.
 
  Under the terms of the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan, a defined
contribution plan, covered employees are allowed to contribute up to 17 percent
of their pay limited to $9,500. The company contributes amounts equal to 50
percent of the employee's contributions, up to a maximum of 3 percent of the
employee's pay. Total expense for the plan was $68,090,000; $64,563,000; and
$49,436,000 for 1996 through 1994, respectively.
 
  The company's annual contribution to the Raytheon Employee Stock Ownership
Plans is approximately one-half of one percent of salaries and wages, limited
to $150,000, of substantially all United States salaried and a majority of
hourly employees. The expense was $14,670,000; $11,748,000; and $11,768,000 and
the number of shares allocated to participant accounts was 296,000; 177,000 and
185,000 for 1996 through 1994, respectively.

NOTE M: BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING
 
  The company operates in four major business areas: Electronics, both
commercial and defense; Engineering and Construction; Aircraft; and Major
appliances. The principal contributors to Electronics sales and earnings are
defense missile systems and other products. The Engineering and Construction
segment does business in some 60 countries around the world. The Aircraft
segment manufactures, markets and supports piston, jetprops and medium and
light jet aircraft for commercial, regional airline and military markets around
the world. The Major Appliance segment manufactures and sells household and
commercial appliances to dealers and distributors in the United States and to
foreign locations. Sales and segment income for 1995 and 1994 have been
restated to conform with the 1996 presentation.
 
  Certain accounts were reclassified to reconicile segment income with
operating income, as reported in the statements of income. The
reclassifications did not have a material effect on the income of the segments
other than the aircraft segment. Aircraft segment income was reduced in all
years due to the inclusion of interest cost associated with the financing of
off-balance sheet receivables. This cost was previously reported as a part of
corporate interest expense. The change did not affect the company's income
before taxes or net income.

NOTE P: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  For certain financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents,
marketable securities, and short-term debt, it is estimated that carrying value
approximates fair value, due to their short maturities and varying interest
rates of the debt.
 
  The carrying value of notes receivable at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is
estimated to approximate fair value based principally on the underlying
interest rates and terms, maturities, collateral, and credit status of the
receivables.
 
  The carrying values of marketable securities and investments are based on
quoted market prices or the present value of future cash flows and earnings
which approximate fair value.

  The value of the guarantees and letters of credit reflect fair value.
 
  The fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was estimated
based on current rates offered to the company for similar debt with the same
maturities and approximates the carrying value.
 
  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the company had outstanding interest rate swap
agreements, with notional amounts, and foreign currency forward exchange
contracts which minimized or eliminated risk associated with interest rate
changes or foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. All of these financial
instruments were related to specific transactions and particular assets or
liabilities for which a firm commitment existed. These instruments were
executed with credit-worthy institutions and the majority of the foreign
currencies were denominated in currencies of major industrial countries:

  Foreign currencies are translated at current rates at the reporting date.
"Buy" amounts represents the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase
foreign currencies and "sell" amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of
commitments to sell foreign currencies.
 
  Swap contracts mature at various dates through the year 2000 and essentially
fix the interest rates on that portion of debt at rates from 4.7 percent to 9.5
percent at December 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
 
  Foreign exchange forward contracts, used primarily to minimize fluctuations
in the values of foreign currency payments and receipts, have maturities at
various dates through April, 1999. Fair values for these contracts were
determined by applying December 31, 1996, spot rates to the eight major
currencies and comparing the U.S. dollar equivalents to the U.S. dollar
contract amounts for the same currencies. The resulting difference was not
material and approximates the contract amounts.
 
  The company, in order to lock in favorable rates, entered into interest rate
swaps and locks in connection with the 1995 issuance of $750 million ten-year
notes and $375 million thirty-year debentures. Both the interest rate swaps and
locks were unwound prior to the issue of the 1995 debt.

NOTE Q: STOCK SPLIT
 
  All share data have been restated to reflect the stock split effective on
October 23, 1995.
 
NOTE R: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On January 6, 1997, the company announced that the Board of Directors
approved a definitive agreement to purchase the assets of Texas Instruments'
defense operations for $2.950 billion in cash. Texas Instruments Defense
Systems and Electronics Group, headquartered in Lewisville, Texas will have
1996 revenues of approximately $1.8 billion. The group is a premier supplier of
advanced defense systems, including precision-guided weapons, antiradiation and
strike missiles, airborne radar, night vision systems and electronic warfare
systems. The group has approximately 12,000 employees, based largely in Texas.
The transaction is subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review and is
expected to close in the second quarter of 1997.
 
  On January 16, 1997, the company announced that it has entered into
definitive agreements with Hughes Electronics Corporation to bring about the
merger of the Hughes Electronics defense operations (Hughes Aircraft) and
Raytheon. The combined company will be called Raytheon. The transaction is
valued at $9.5 billion, comprised of approximately $5.1 billion in common stock
and $4.4 billion in debt.
 
  The company's debt will increase as a result of the planned transactions and
the covenants applicable to the existing financing arrangements have been
modified by the participating entities to accommodate the increase in debt.
 
  Hughes Aircraft, the Hughes Electronics' defense business, will have 1996
revenues of approximately $6.3 billion. It has approximately 40,000 employees,
principally in the states of California, Arizona, Indiana, Texas and Virginia.
 
  Hughes is a premier supplier of advanced defense electronics systems and
services, principally in Naval systems, airborne and ground-based radars,
ground, air and ship-launched missiles, tactical communications, and training
simulators and services. Hughes also supplies Air Traffic Control systems to
the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and to foreign governments, and is
active in the fields of global positioning systems and infrared/electro-optics.
 
  The transaction is subject to approval by Raytheon's stockholders, certain
regulatory approvals (including Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review), approval
by the holders of GM and GM "H" common stocks, and the receipt by GM of rulings
from the Internal Revenue Service relating to certain federal income tax
consequences of the transaction.
 
  TRANSACTION SUMMARY
 
  Hughes Aircraft will be spun off to the holders of GM's $1 2/3 and Class H
common stocks in a transaction intended to be tax free. In connection with the
spin-off and subsequent merger, two classes of common stock will be created:
Class A common stock, which will be held by GM $1 2/3 and Class H stockholders
after the spin-off and will be entirely held by the public; and Class B common
stock.
 
  Immediately following the spin-off of Hughes Aircraft, Raytheon and Hughes
Aircraft will merge. In the merger, Raytheon stockholders will receive all of
the Class B common stock of the combined company. The Class B common stock will
represent approximately 70 percent of the equity of the combined company, and
the Class A common stock will represent the remaining, approximately 30
percent.

                 RAYTHEON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  The merger terms provide that Hughes Aircraft's total debt will be adjusted
to reflect variations in the market price of Raytheon stock, subject to
specified limits, so that the two components of value will total $9.5 billion
so long as such market price is between $44.42 and $54.29 per share. The
approximately $5.1 billion in common stock issued to the Class A stockholders
is based upon the midpoint of this range. The balance of the $9.5 billion
transaction value will be made up of approximately $4.4 billion in Hughes
Aircraft debt.
 
  In the election of directors to the combined company board, Class A common
stock will have an 80.1 percent voting interest, and Class B common stock will
have a 19.9 percent voting interest. The board of directors will have staggered
terms for directors. Except as to voting rights for directors, each class will
vote separately as to all other matters, and the Class A and Class B stock will
have identical rights. In a merger, acquisition or any other type of
reorganization, Class A and Class B common stock must receive the same
consideration.
 
  On February 23, 1997, the company announced that it is evaluating strategic
alternatives for the Appliance Group, which may result in the sale or merger of
the group at some time in the future. The company retained an advisor to assist
with this evaluation. The decision to undertake this strategic reassessment was
made in the context of Raytheon's financial priorities, and the belief that the
Appliance Group may have greater value to another company with more focus on
the markets served by the group.
 
                                                                      APPENDIX C

         NEW RAYTHEON PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  The following pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been
prepared by Raytheon's management from Raytheon's historical consolidated
financial statements and from the historical financial statements of TI Defense
and Hughes Defense. The pro forma combined condensed statement of earnings
reflects adjustments as if the TI Acquisition and the Merger had occurred on
January 1, 1996. The pro forma combined condensed balanced sheet reflects
adjustments as if the Merger had occurred on September 28, 1997. The pro forma
adjustments described in the accompanying notes are based upon preliminary
estimates and certain assumptions that Raytheon management believes are
reasonable in such circumstances.
 
  The pro forma combined condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with Raytheon's Consolidated Financial Statements (including the
notes thereto) included as Appendix C to this document, and with the historical
financial statements of Hughes Defense and TI Defense (including the related
notes thereto), which are included in Appendices D & E, respectively, to this
document.
 
  The pro forma combined condensed financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of what Raytheon's actual financial position or results of
operations would have been if the TI Acquisition and the Merger had occurred on
the applicable date indicated. Moreover, they are not intended to be indicative
of future results of operations or financial position. The pro forma combined
condensed financial statements do not reflect the cost and revenue synergies
associated with such transactions, which Raytheon expects to realize commencing
in the first year of operation.

                        NOTES TO NEW RAYTHEON PRO FORMA
                    COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The accompanying pro forma combined condensed statements of earnings present
the historical results of operations of Raytheon, TI Defense and Hughes Defense
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the nine months ended September
28, 1997, with pro forma adjustments as if the TI Acquisition and the Merger
had taken place on January 1, 1996. The historical results of operations of
Raytheon for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 includes the financial
results for Raytheon TI Systems from July 11, 1997. The historical results of
operations of TI Defense includes financial results for the six month period
ending June 29, 1997. The TI Defense financial results for the period from June
30, 1997 to July 10, 1997 were not material. The pro forma combined condensed
balance sheet presents the historical balance sheets of Raytheon and Hughes
Defense as of September 28, 1997, with pro forma adjustments as if the Merger
had been consummated as of September 28, 1997, in a transaction accounted for
as a purchase for financial accounting purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
  Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial
statements of Raytheon, TI Defense and Hughes Defense to conform to the pro
forma combined condensed financial statement presentation on a consistent
basis.
 
2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS--TI DEFENSE
 
  The following adjustments give pro forma effect to the TI Acquisition (in
millions):
 
<TABLE>
      <C> <S>
      (a) Adjustment to eliminate the amortization of intangible assets of TI
          Defense which would not have been incurred if the TI Acquisition had
          occurred on January 1, 1996.
      (b) Adjustment to reflect the effect on 1996 and 1997 results relating to
          a net reduction of accumulated contract costs as an allowance for
          Raytheon's normal profit on its efforts to complete such contracts,
          and other contract valuation adjustments.
      (c) Elimination of $32 of non-recurring employee related costs and $20 of
          non-recurring corporate allocations from the parent of TI Defense as
          a result of the TI Acquisition for the year ended December 31, 1996
          and $10 of non-recurring corporate allocations for the six months
          ending June 29, 1997.
      (d) Adjustments which represent additional estimated interest expense
          resulting from the use of borrowings to finance the TI Acquisition
          and incremental interest on Raytheon's pre-TI Acquisition variable
          rate borrowings to reflect the change in credit rating as a result of
          the TI Acquisition.
      (e) The amortization of excess of costs over acquired net assets over an
          estimated life of 40 years. Such amortization expense is subject to
          possible adjustment resulting from the completion of the valuation
          analyses. Raytheon expects that any subsequent adjustment would not
          materially affect the combined pro forma results.
      (f) The estimated tax effect on the applicable pro forma adjustments.
      (g) Reclassifications made to conform the TI Defense historical financial
          statements to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
          statement presentation.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS--HUGHES DEFENSE
 
  The following adjustments give pro forma effect to the Merger (in millions):
 
<TABLE>
      <C> <S>                                                           <C>
      (a) To record the exchange consideration at closing:
          Purchase price ($9,500 less acquired debt of $120).........   $9,380
                                                                        ======
          (Assumed financing is based on the price per share of
          Raytheon Common Stock at the announcement date of the
          merger:
          Equity--102,634 thousand shares at assumed market value of
          $49.35 per share totals $5,065. $49.35 represents the mid-
          point of the market price collar mechanism. Neither the use
          of other market price assumptions within the range, nor the
          use of the highest recent closing price of Raytheon Common
          Stock of $60.25 on October 2, would have a significant
          effect on pro forma results.
          Debt--$4,435 less $120 of debt assumed plus acquisition
          costs of $125 totals $4,440 to be financed with a
          combination of variable rate short-term borrowings of
          $2,310 and fixed rate medium- and long-term borrowings of
          $2,130 at an average interest rate of 6.37%).
          To adjust the assets and liabilities to their estimated
      (b) fair values:
          Net assets of Hughes Defense at September 28, 1997.........    5,266

  On September 10, 1997 Raytheon consummated the sale of its home appliance
heating and air conditioning and commercial cooking businesses to Goodman
Manufacturing Co., L.P. for an aggregate amount of $550 million in cash,
subject to certain changes in the net working capital of such businesses
between December 31, 1996 and the closing date of the transaction. The 1996
sales, operating income, net income and total assets of the businesses sold
were not material to Raytheon's results of operations and as such the sale of
these businesses was not included in the pro forma financial statements.
 
  The Department of Justice and Raytheon entered into an agreement regarding
the TI Acquisition on July 2, 1997, pursuant to which Raytheon agreed to divest
the Gallium Arsenide foundry and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit
business of the R/F Microwave business unit of Texas Instruments after closing
the transaction. The business, which accounted for less than $40 million in
1996 revenues, was not material and as such the sale of this business has not
been included in the pro forma financial statements.
 
  On October 16, 1997 the Department of Justice filed with the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia an agreement among the Department of Justice
Raytheon, GM and HE Holdings regarding the Merger. The agreement, when entered
as a final judgment pursuant to court order, will require Raytheon to divest
portions of Hughes' Electro Optics business and portions of Raytheon TI
Systems' Focal Plane Array business. These two businesses, which together
accounted for less than $55 million in 1996 revenues,were not material and as
such the sale of these businesses has not been included in the pro forma
financial statements.
