</TABLE>

The Electronic Systems segment reported higher sales, operating profit and net
income over last year's first quarter. Results for the segment were led by
increased demand for information systems products and services. Revenue for the
remainder of fiscal 1998 is expected to be flat with moderately lower earnings
due to reduced margins from the segment's core defense products.

Semiconductor segment sales were up strongly, while operating profit and net 
income were moderately higher in this year's first quarter compared to the
prior year period. While significantly lower industry-wide product pricing
continues for commodity semiconductors, the segment is shipping products at a
record volume. Royalty income included in earnings was significant and was at
the same level as the prior year. The expectation of a recovery in product
prices and increased manufacturing capacity is expected to result in increased
sales and earnings for fiscal 1998.

Sales, operating profit and net income in the Communications segment were
significantly higher than last year's first quarter. Growth in all but one of
the segment's major product lines, plus gains from the sale of investment
securities contributed to the first quarter earnings increase. Improvement in
the segment's digital switch business, coupled with growth in the segment's
microwave systems, broadcast products, and telephone test equipment businesses,
is expected to result in higher sales and earnings in fiscal 1998.

Lanier Worldwide segment sales, operating profit and net income were
significantly higher than the first quarter of last year. A significant increase
in domestic sales and improved performance in the segment's international
operations contributed to the

                                       (6)

<PAGE>   7


increases in sales and earnings. Strength in both domestic and international
markets is expected to result in improved sales and earnings for the current
fiscal year.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 66.9 percent versus 66.3
percent in last year's first quarter. Cost ratios were higher for the
Communications and Lanier segments.

Engineering, selling, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased from 26.1 percent last year to 25.6 percent in this year's first
quarter due to lower operating expense ratios for the Lanier Worldwide and 
Electronic Systems segments. Company funded research and development increased
$3.2 million from the prior year's first quarter to $46.5 million. Total
research and development, which includes both Company funded and customer
sponsored research and development, increased $29.8 million to $185.9 million
for the current year's first quarter.

Interest expense in the first quarter increased from the prior year due to
higher average borrowings. The decrease in "Other-net" expense was due to gains
resulting from the sale of investment securities.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income was 34.0 percent
in the first quarter, compared to 34.5 percent in the prior year's first
quarter. The reduction from the statutory federal tax rate of 35.0 percent for
both years was due to tax rates on foreign source income and export sales.

Income as a percentage of sales was 4.5 percent in the first quarter, compared
to 4.3 percent in the same period last year for the previously stated reasons.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Working capital decreased from $774.9 million at June 27, 1997, to $763.6
million at the end of the first quarter due to lower receivables and unbilled
costs on fixed price contracts. The Company continues to invest in the capital
expansion of its semiconductor business. Total capital expenditures in fiscal
1998, including expenditures for customer rental equipment, are expected to be
approximately $300 million. The requirement for funds to finance this
investment and other operational requirements are expected to be met by cash    
flow from operations and unused borrowing capacity.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

statements contain and will contain, forward-looking statements that reflect
management's current assumptions and estimates of future performance and
economic conditions. Such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor

adverse effect on one or more of the markets served by the Company; ability to
execute management's internal operating plans; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; worldwide demand for integrated semiconductor circuits,
particularly power products; reductions in the U.S. and worldwide defense and
space budgets; effect of continuing consolidation in the U.S. defense industry
on the Company's direct and indirect business with the U.S. government; the
Company's ability to recover costs incurred on fixed price contracts;
termination of customer contracts; continued development and market acceptance
of new products, especially digital television broadcast products and
semiconductor wireless and multi-media products; continued success of the
Company's patent licensing programs, particularly as it relates to the
Semiconductor segment; and the successful resolution of patent infringement and
other general litigation.

                               HARRIS CORPORATION
                      1997 DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION
                        AND ANNUAL STOCK UNIT AWARD PLAN
                (AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 24, 1997)



         1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this 1997 Directors' Deferred Compensation
and Annual Stock Unit Award Plan (the "Plan") is (a) to establish a method of
deferring Directors' compensation which will aid Harris Corporation in
attracting and retaining as members of its Board persons whose abilities,
experience and judgment can contribute to the continued progress of the
Corporation and (b) to further align the interests of Directors with the
interests of the shareholders of the Corporation through the annual grant of
Harris Stock Equivalents. Prior to the amendment and restatement of the Plan,
the Plan was known as the "1997 Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan," which
replaced and superseded the Harris Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for
Directors, Amended as of December 2, 1994 (the "Predecessor Plan").

         2. DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Plan, the following words and
phrases shall have the meanings indicated, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise:

         "Account" shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 4(a).

         "Annual Units" shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 5(a).

         "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         "Change of Control" shall mean any of the following events:

              (i) any "person" (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Sections
13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), is or becomes a "beneficial owner"
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting
power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the
election of the Board (the "Corporation 


                                       1
<PAGE>   2

Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the event described in this
paragraph (i) shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control by virtue of any of
the following acquisitions: (a) by the Corporation or any subsidiary, (b) by any
employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any
subsidiary, (c) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities, (d) pursuant to a Non-Control Transaction (as
defined in paragraph (iii)), or (e) pursuant to any acquisition by a corporate
officer of the Corporation or any group of persons including a corporate
officer;

              (ii) individuals who, on July 1, 1996, constitute the Board (the
"Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to July 1,
1996, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors who remain on the Board (either by a
specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Corporation in which
such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such
nomination) shall also be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; provided, however,
that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the
Corporation as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect
to directors or any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to
be an Incumbent Director;

              (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange
or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Corporation or any such type
of transaction involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries that
requires the approval of the Corporation's stockholders (whether for such
transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction or otherwise), or
the consummation of the direct or indirect sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets, of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (a
"Business Combination"), unless immediately following such Business Combination:
(a) more than 80% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from
such Business Combination (including, without limitation, any corporation which
directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the Corporation
Voting Securities) eligible to elect directors of such corporation is
represented by shares that were Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior
to such Business Combination (either by remaining outstanding or being
converted), and such voting power is in substantially the same proportion as the
voting power of such Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior to the
Business Combination, (b) no person (other than any publicly traded holding
company resulting from such Business Combination, any employee benefit plan
sponsored or maintained by the Corporation (or the corporation resulting from
such Business Combination)), becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting
securities eligible to elect directors of the corporation resulting from such
Business Combination, and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of
the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent
Directors at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial
agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination
which satisfies the conditions specified in (a), (b) and (c) shall be deemed to
be a "Non-Control Transaction"); or


                                       2

              (iv) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or the direct or indirect
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries.

              Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control of the
Corporation shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires
beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Corporation Voting Securities as a
result of the acquisition of Corporation Voting Securities by the Corporation
which reduces the number of Corporation Voting Securities outstanding; provided,
that, if after such acquisition by the Corporation such person becomes the
beneficial owner of additional Corporation Voting Securities that increases the
percentage of outstanding Corporation Voting Securities beneficially owned by
such person, a Change of Control of the Corporation shall then occur.

         "Common Stock" shall mean the common stock of Harris Corporation, par
value $1.00 per share.

         "Corporation" means Harris Corporation, its successors, and any

Director Compensation with respect to calendar year 1997 may at any time prior
to August 1, 1997, elect to defer


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

under this Plan all or any specified part of the Director Compensation to which
the Director may thereafter be entitled with respect to the remainder of
calendar year 1997; provided, however, that such amounts may only be credited to
the Director's Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount.

              (ii) Any Director who is not an employee of the Corporation or one
of its subsidiaries and who has made an election under the Predecessor Plan to
defer all or any specified part of the Director Compensation with respect to
calendar year 1997 may at any time prior to August 1, 1997, elect to defer all
or a specified part of, the Director Compensation to which the Director may
thereafter be entitled with respect to the remainder of calendar year 1997;
provided, however, that such amounts may only be credited to the Director's
Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount. Prior to August 1, 1997, such Director may
also elect to have all or any specified part of any existing balances in her/his
Account credited to the Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount. Elections to have
existing balances credited into the Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount (x) made
on or prior to June 30, 1997, will be effective on June 30, 1997, and (y) made
on or after July 1, but prior to July 31, 1997, will be effective on July 31,
1997. Amounts credited to a Director's Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount shall
be converted into Deferred Stock Units pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(ii).

              (iii) Each of the foregoing elections under this Plan for calendar
year 1997 shall specify (x) in the case of an election under Paragraph 3(a)(i),
the amount or part of Director Compensation to be deferred for the remainder of
1997 and (y) in the case of an election under Paragraph 3(a)(ii), the amount or
part of Director Compensation and existing balances to be credited to the Harris
Stock Equivalents Subaccount. Any deferral elections made under the Predecessor
Plan or made in accordance with Paragraph 3(a)(i) or 3(a)(ii) shall be
irrevocable for 1997.

         (b) For calendar years subsequent to 1997, any Director who is not an
employee of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries may at any time prior to
the 


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

commencement of a calendar year elect to defer under this Plan all or any
specified part of the Director Compensation to which the Director may be
entitled with respect to such subsequent calendar year. Any person who is not an
employee of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries who is elected as a
Director and who was not a Director on the last day of the calendar year
immediately prior to her/his election may, within thirty days of the
commencement of her/his term, elect to defer all or any specified part of the
Director Compensation to which she/he may thereafter be entitled with respect to
the year in which she/he is so elected.

              (c) Each of the foregoing deferral elections under this Plan shall
be made by written notice delivered to the Secretary, specifying the year or
years with respect to which the election shall apply and the amount or part of
Director Compensation to be deferred for such year or years (and in the case of
an election under Paragraph 3(a)(ii) the portion of existing balances to be
credited to the Director's Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount). A deferral
election under this Plan with respect to any calendar year shall be irrevocable
after commencement of such calendar year or, in the case of a person who was not
a Director on the last day of the calendar year immediately prior to her/his
election, within thirty days after the commencement of her/his term.

         4. ACCOUNTS. (a) GENERAL. On the last day of each calendar month in
which Director Compensation deferred under this Plan would have become payable
to a Director, the amount of such Director Compensation shall be credited to an
account ("Account") which shall be established and maintained for such Director
as a special ledger account on the Corporation's books. A Director's Account
shall consist of a Harris Stock Equivalents subaccount ("Harris Stock
Equivalents Subaccount") and a number of other subaccounts (sometimes referred
to as retirement investment subaccounts) equal to the number of investment funds
available from time to time under the Retirement Plan (as set forth on EXHIBIT A
hereto, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time). Amounts of Director
Compensation credited to the Account of a Director shall be invested in
accordance with the investment election of such Director 


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

among the investment funds of the Retirement Plan identified on EXHIBIT A hereto
(other than the Harris Stock Fund), and Harris Stock Equivalents. The investment
funds set forth on EXHIBIT A, as amended from time to time (other than the
Harris Stock Fund), and Harris Stock Equivalents are sometimes referred to as
the "Investment Funds". Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) below for
investments credited to the Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount and the
crediting of Annual Units, a Director may invest her/his account balance or
future Director Compensation in 1.0% increments in any of the Investment Funds
(or in such other increments as are permitted under the Retirement Plan) and,
may change her/his investment elections in a manner consistent with the changing
of investment elections as set forth in the Retirement Plan. A Director's
account balance and future deferred Director Compensation shall be invested in
the Balanced Fund described on EXHIBIT A until the Director makes a valid
investment election pursuant to this Paragraph 4. Earnings and losses with
respect to a Director's Account shall be allocated to such Account with the same
frequency and in the same manner as allocations under the Retirement Plan.

         (b) SPECIAL RULES CONCERNING HARRIS STOCK EQUIVALENTS SUBACCOUNTS.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, the following
rules shall apply to investments credited to the Harris Stock Equivalents
Subaccounts (including, as appropriate, Annual Units credited to the Harris
Stock Equivalents Subaccount of a Director's Account).

              (i) NO INTRA-PLAN TRANSFERS INTO OR OUT OF THE HARRIS STOCK
EQUIVALENTS SUBACCOUNTS. Except for a reallocation of a Director's Account
balance as set forth in Paragraph 3(a)(ii), a Director may not make an election
to transfer or reallocate amounts invested in any of the Director's retirement
investment subaccounts into the Director's Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount.
In addition, amounts invested in the Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount,
including Annual Units, may not thereafter be reallocated in any other
retirement investment subaccounts.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

              (ii) VALUE OF HARRIS STOCK EQUIVALENTS. Amounts of Director's
Compensation deferred by a Director hereunder which the Director elects to be
invested in Harris Stock Equivalents shall be credited to the Director's Harris
Stock Equivalents Subaccount on the last day of each calendar month in which
such amount would be payable. The Corporation shall credit a Director's Harris
Stock Equivalents Subaccount with that number of units (including fractions)
obtained by dividing such amounts by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock on the date such amounts are credited to the Director's Harris Stock
Equivalents Subaccount (such Harris Stock Equivalents are sometimes referred to
herein as "Deferred Stock Units"). In the case of Annual Units, each Director's
Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount shall be credited with a number of Annual
Units on January 1 of each year as set forth in Paragraph 5(a). Deferred Stock
Units and Annual Units are sometimes referred to collectively as "Units."

              (iii) EARNINGS ON HARRIS STOCK EQUIVALENTS. A Director's Harris
Stock Equivalents Subaccount shall be credited with the amount of cash dividends
payable with respect to that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of Units (including fractions) credited to such subaccount on the
dividend payment date. The amount of cash dividends so credited shall then be
converted into Units in the manner described above using the Fair Market Value
on the same day, and in a manner consistent with the Retirement Plan.

              (iv) REALLOCATIONS OF FUTURE INVESTMENTS INTO HARRIS STOCK
EQUIVALENTS SUBACCOUNT. Subject to any restrictions imposed by Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act ("Section 16(b)"), changes in investment elections with respect
to future crediting of Director's Compensation into the Harris Stock Equivalents
Subaccount may be made at the Director's discretion, except that a Director
shall have no investment discretion with respect to the crediting of Annual
Units.

              (v) ADJUSTMENTS TO AVOID DILUTION. In the event of any stock
dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
extraordinary dividends, 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

combination or exchange of shares or other similar event, the value and
attributes of each Unit shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such
change to the same extent as if such Units were issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board and shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

              (vi) CASH DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions from a Director's Harris
Stock Equivalents Subaccount shall be made in cash with the amount of cash to be
paid on account of each Unit being determined by reference to the Fair Market
Value on the last day of the month preceding the date of distribution.

              (vii) NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. A Director shall not have any
rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any Units credited to
the Director's Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount.

     5.   ANNUAL AWARDS OF DEFERRED STOCK UNITS; CONVERSION AWARD.
         (a) ANNUAL UNIT AWARDS. On January 1 of each year, commencing with
January 1, 1998, the Corporation shall credit the Harris Stock Equivalents
Subaccount of each Director who is not an employee of the Corporation or one of
its subsidiaries with 500 Harris Stock Equivalents. The number of Annual Units
to be credited on each January 1 may be changed from time to time by a
resolution adopted by the Board. All such annually awarded units shall be
referred to herein as the "Annual Units."

         (b) CONVERSION AWARD. On January 1, 1998 a Director's Harris Stock
Equivalents Subaccount shall be credited with a number of Harris Stock
Equivalents equal to the actuarial present value of the Director's annual
retirement benefit (assuming retirement at age 72) under the Directors'
Retirement Plan if, as of January 1, 1998; either (i) the Director had less than
ten years of service under such Plan or (ii) the Director had ten or more years
of service under such Plan and elected to have such actuarial present value
transferred to the Plan. The number of Harris Stock Equivalents to be credited
to such a Director's Harris Stock Equivalents Subaccount shall be determined in
the manner 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

described in Paragraph 4(b)(ii) as of January 1, 1998, except that the fair
market value shall be equal to the average daily closing price for the Common
Stock for the period from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.

         6. PAYMENT OF DEFERRED DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND ANNUAL UNITS. In
accordance with the forms of payment permissible under this Paragraph 6, a
Director shall elect the time or times in which the amounts credited to her/his
Account, including Annual Units credited to the Harris Stock Equivalents
Subaccount, shall be paid by a written election delivered to the Secretary at
the time such Director elects to participate in this Plan. A Director may modify
his or her election at any time before the beginning of the 120-day period
immediately preceding the effective date of the Director's resignation or
retirement, at which time the election shall become irrevocable; provided,
however, that if a Director has Units credited to his/her Harris Stock
Equivalents Subaccount, no such modification shall be made without the prior
approval of the Board or a committee comprised solely of "non-employee
directors" as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Exchange Act, as amended
from time to time. Payments must commence no later than age 72. A Director's
payout election shall apply to all amounts credited to a Director's Account and
all earnings thereon regardless of the year in which the amounts were deferred
or credited. Upon a Director's resignation or retirement, amounts credited to
the Director's Account shall be payable to her/him at her/his election in (i) a
cash lump sum on a date certain within five (5) years of resignation or
retirement or (ii) in annual payments over a designated number of years provided
the Account is fully paid within ten (10) years of resignation or retirement.
Annual payments shall be made on or before January 15. Until a Director's
Account has been completely distributed, earnings and losses on the unpaid
balance thereof shall be allocated as provided in Paragraph 4 above.

         7. PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, within 90 days following a
Change of Control, the Corporation shall pay to each Director (or former
Director) a cash lump sum 


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

payment equal to the then remaining balance in his/her Account. This Paragraph
may not be amended, altered or modified following a Change of Control.

         8. MODIFICATION OF PAYMENT TERMS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. If after a
person shall have ceased to be a Director, but prior to full payment to such
person of the entire amount of her or his Account, the Director shall, after
reasonable warning from the Board, persist in an affiliation with any business
that is a principal competitor with a significant portion of the business
conducted by the Corporation, the entire balance of such Account may, if
directed by the Board in its sole discretion, be paid immediately to such person
in a lump sum.

         9. PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF DEATH. In the event a Director or former
Director dies prior to receiving payment of the entire amount of her or his
Account, the unpaid balance shall be paid to such beneficiary as the Director
may have designated in a written notice delivered to the Secretary as the
person, firm or trust to receive any such post-death distribution under this
Plan or, in the absence of such written designation, to the former Director's
legal representative or any person, firm or organization designated in her or
his last will to receive such distributions. Distributions subsequent to the
death of a Director or former Director shall be made in a lump sum.

         10. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. None of the rights or interests of any Director
or former Director in amounts of compensation deferred under this Plan or Annual
Units shall be assignable or transferable in whole or in part, either
voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to
payment of debts by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy
or in any other manner.

         11. PLAN TO BE UNFUNDED. The Corporation shall be under no obligation
to acquire, segregate, or reserve any funds or other assets for purposes
relating to this Plan and no Director or former Director shall have any rights
whatsoever in or with respect to any funds or other assets held by the
Corporation for purposes of this Plan or otherwise. 


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

Accounts maintained for purposes of this Plan shall merely constitute
bookkeeping records of the Corporation and shall not constitute any allocation
whatsoever of any assets of the Corporation or be deemed to create any trust or
special deposit with respect to any of the Corporation's assets.

         12. MISCELLANEOUS. The Board, any committee of the Board, and any
officer of the Corporation charged with responsibility for the administration
and operation of this Plan may rely upon information supplied to them by the
officers of the Corporation and by the Corporation's independent certified
public accountants. No member of the Board nor any officer of the Corporation
charged with responsibility for the administration and operation of this Plan
shall be liable, except in circumstances involving his or her bad faith, for any
act or action, whether of commission or omission, taken by any other member or
by any other officer, agent, or employee, for anything done or omitted to be
done. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend, terminate or reinstate any
or all of the provisions of this Plan, except that no such amendment, suspension
or termination shall adversely affect the Account of any Director or former
Director as it existed immediately before such amendment, suspension or
termination or the manner of distribution thereof, unless such Director or
former Director shall have consented thereto in writing. This Plan shall be
construed and governed by the laws of Delaware.

                            DIRECTORS RETIREMENT PLAN


         WHEREAS, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
has heretofore adopted and maintains the Directors Retirement Plan, which was
last amended as of June 28, 1996 (the "Plan"), to provide retirement benefits to
the members of the Company's Board of Directors who are not employees of the
Company ("Outside Directors") (capitalized terms not defined in this amendment
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan); and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to provide that the only
Participants in the Plan on and after January 1, 1998 will be (i) those former
Outside Directors who are then receiving benefits under the Plan and (ii) those

and (xiv) immediately following subsection (xii):

         "(xiii)  any Lien securing Debt of a Subsidiary outstanding at the time

         5.       Section 5.2(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby further 
amended by deleting the reference to "clause (xiii)" in the second line of the
newly renumbered clause (xv) and replacing the same with a reference to "clause
(xv)".

         6.       Section 5.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by

                  "(e) The Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) fail to
         make any payment on account of any Debt (excluding Debt evidenced by
         the Notes) or Hedging Arrangement having an outstanding principal
         amount (or notional amount in the case of a Hedging Arrangement) of
         $25,000,000 or more (or, in the case of Non-Recourse Debt, of
         $50,000,000 or more) of the Borrower or such Subsidiary (as the case
         may be), or any interest or premium thereon, when due (whether at
         scheduled maturity, upon required prepayment, acceleration, demand or
         otherwise) and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace
         period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to
         such Debt or Hedging Arrangement, or (ii) fail to perform or observe
         any term, covenant, condition on its part to be performed or observed
         under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt (but not
         including Hedging Arrangements) when required to be performed or
         observed, and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace
         period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the
         effect of such failure to perform or observe is to accelerate, or to
         permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Debt; or any such Debt
         shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid
         (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment and other than
         as a consequence of the sale, pledge or other disposition by the
         Borrower of Margin Stock), prior to the stated maturity thereof; or"

         8.    Section 8.5(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following parenthetical immediately following the first reference to
$5,000,000 in such clause (iii): "(except in the case of an assignment to an
existing Lender in which event the amount of the Commitment subject to such
assignment shall not be less than $2,500,000)".

Agreement or any portion thereof, or any other matter relating to the Credit
Agreement, shall require or imply any future indulgence, waiver, or agreement by
the Lenders.

                               HARRIS CORPORATION
                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                 (AS OF 8/22/97)


         1. THE OPTION - TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Under and subject to the
provisions of the Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan as in effect from time to
time (the "Plan"), the Corporation has granted to the Employee a non-statutory
option (the "Option") to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation as set forth and designated in writing by the Corporation to the
Employee at the designated price per share. Such grant is subject to the
following Terms and Conditions:

                  (a) The Option shall not be exercisable to any extent until
         and unless the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ
         of the Corporation for one year from the grant date. The grant of the
         Option shall not limit or restrict the Corporation's rights to
         terminate the Employee's employment.

                  (b) During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be
         exercisable only by the Employee, and (except when Section 2 is
         applicable) only while the Employee continues as an Employee of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and
         Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part, the Option
         shall expire no later than ten years from the grant date (the
         "Expiration Date"), and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

                  (d) The Option is exercisable as follows:

                           (i)  After the end of one year and prior to the end 
                  of two years from the grant date, not more than fifty percent 
                  of the grant;

                           (ii) After the end of two years and prior to the end
                  of three years from the grant date, not more than seventy-five
                  percent of the grant; and

                           (iii) After the end of three years from the grant
                  date, one-hundred percent of the grant.

                  (e) Upon a "change of control" of the Corporation (as defined
         in Section 11.1 of the Plan) any outstanding Option shall immediately
         become fully exercisable, provided that if the Employee is an officer
         of the Corporation and a stock appreciation right has been granted with
         respect to a portion or all of the shares covered by these Terms and
         Conditions, the Option granted as to such shares may not in any event
         be exercised prior to the end of six months from the grant date, but
         the time set forth in Paragraph 2(d) shall be extended accordingly.

         2.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  (a) DEATH. In the event of the death of the Employee, the
         Option shall be exercisable only within the twelve (12) months
         following the date of death, but no later than the Expiration Date and
         then only (i) by the executor or administrator of the Employee's estate
         or by the person or persons to whom the Employee's rights under the

<PAGE>   2


         Option shall pass by the Employee's will or the laws of descent and
         distribution, and (ii) if and to the extent that the Option was
         exercisable at the date of the Employee's death.

                  (b) DISABILITY. In the event of disability of the Employee,
         the Option shall be exercisable by the Employee only within the twelve
         (12) months following such cessation of employment but no later than
         the Expiration Date and to the extent that the Option was exercisable
         at the date of such cessation of employment, and no more.

                  (c) RETIREMENT. In the event of retirement of the Employee,
         the Option shall, if the retirement occurs after the Employee has
         reached age 55 and has ten or more years of full-time service, be
         exercisable by the Employee within thirty six (36) months following
         such retirement, but no later than the Expiration Date and to the
         extent that the Option was exercisable at the date of such retirement,
         and no more.

                  (d) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of termination of
         employment for reasons other than death, disability or retirement at
         age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, the Option shall be
         exercisable only by the Employee within three (3) months following such
         cessation of employment but no later than the Expiration Date and to
         the extent that it was exercisable at the date of such cessation of
         employment, and no more. The three month period shall be increased to
         such greater period up to six months as may be necessary to permit
         exercise by an Employee who is an officer under the conditions set
         forth in Section 1(e).

         3. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option may be exercised by delivering to the
Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (i) a written notice,
signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option, stating the number of
shares such person then elects to purchase, (ii) payment in an amount equal to
the full purchase price of the shares then to be purchased, and (iii) in the
event the Option is exercised by any person other than the Employee, evidence
satisfactory to the Corporation that such person has the right to exercise the
Option. Payment shall be made (a) in cash, (b) in previously acquired shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation, or (c) in any combination of cash and such
shares. Shares tendered in payment of the purchase price which have been
acquired through an exercise of a stock option shall have been held at least six
months prior to exercise of the Option and shall be valued at the closing price
as reported in the consolidated transaction system for the day preceding the
date of exercise of the Option. Upon the exercise of the Option, the Corporation
shall issue and deliver to the Employee, one or more certificates for the shares
in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised. The Employee does
not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any shares as to which the
Option shall not have been duly exercised and no rights as a shareholder shall
exist prior to the proper exercise of such Option.

         4. PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFER. The Option and rights granted by the
Corporation under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they
form a part are not transferable except to family members or trust, by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, provided that the Option may not be
transferred to family members or trusts except as permitted by applicable law or
regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Option may
not be assigned, transferred except as aforesaid, pledged or hypothecated, shall
not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions
hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the
Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

Corporation as set forth and designated in writing by the Corporation to the
Employee at the designated price per share. Such grant is subject to the
following Terms and Conditions:

                  (a) The grant of the Option shall not limit or restrict the
         Corporation's rights to terminate the Employee's employment.

                  (b) During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be
         exercisable only by the Employee, and (except when Section 2 is
         applicable) only while the Employee continues as an Employee of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and
         Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part, the Option
         shall expire no later than the date designated in writing to the
         Employee by the Corporation (the "Expiration Date"), and shall not be
         exercisable thereafter.

                  (d) The Option shall not be exercisable to any extent until
         six months after the grant date, at which time the Option shall be
         fully exercisable.

                  (e) Upon a "Change of Control" of the Corporation (as defined
         in Section 11.1 of the Plan) any outstanding Option shall immediately
         become fully exercisable, provided that if the Employee is an officer
         of the Corporation and a stock appreciation right has been granted with
         respect to a portion or all of the shares covered by these Terms and
         Conditions, the Option granted hereby as to such shares may not in any
         event be exercised prior to the end of six months from the grant date,
         but the time set forth in Paragraph 2(d) shall be extended accordingly.

         2.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  (a) DEATH. In the event of the death of the Employee, the

         following the date of death but no later than the Expiration Date, and
         then only (i) by the executor or administrator of the Employee's estate
         or by the person or persons to whom the Employee's rights under the
         Option shall pass by the Employee's will or the laws of descent and
         distribution, and (ii) if and to the extent that the Option was
         exercisable at the date of the Employee's death.

                  (b) DISABILITY. In the event of disability of the Employee,
         the Option shall be exercisable by the Employee only within the twelve
         (12) months following such cessation of employment but no later than
         the Expiration Date and to the extent that the Option was exercisable
         at the date of such cessation of employment, and no more.

                  (c) RETIREMENT. In the event of retirement of the Employee
         subsequent to the date which is six months after the grant date, the
         Option shall, if the retirement occurs after the Employee has reached
         age 55 and has ten or more years of full-time service, be exercisable
         by the Employee within thirty six (36) months following such
         retirement, but no later than the Expiration Date and to the extent
         that the Option was exercisable at the date of such retirement, and no
         more.

                  (d) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of termination of
         employment for reasons other than death, disability or retirement at
         age 55 with ten or more years of full time service, the Option shall be
         exercisable only by the Employee within three (3) months following such
         cessation of employment but no later than the Expiration Date and to
         the extent that it was exercisable at the date of such cessation of
         employment, and no more. The three month period shall be increased to
         such greater period up to six months as may be necessary to permit
         exercise by an Employee who is an officer under the conditions set
         forth in Section 1(e).

         3. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option may be exercised by delivering to the
Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (i) a written notice,

Common Stock of the Corporation, or (c) in any combination of cash and such
shares. Shares tendered in payment of the purchase price which have been
acquired through the exercise of a stock option shall have been held at least

price as reported in the consolidated transaction system for the day preceding
the date of exercise of the Option. Upon the exercise of the Option, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to the Employee, one or more certificates
for the shares in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised. The
Employee does not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any shares as

         3. DEATH. In the event of the death of the Director, the Option shall

estate or by the person or persons to whom the Director's rights under the
Option shall pass by the Director's will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and (ii) if and to the extent that the Director was entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of the Director's death.

         4. EXERCISE OF OPTION. This option may be exercised by delivering to
the Corporation at the office of its Secretary (i) a written notice, signed by
the person entitled to exercise the option, stating the number of shares such
person then elects to purchase hereunder, (ii) payment in an amount equal to the
full purchase price of the shares then to be purchased, and (iii) in the event

consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate
structure such that shares of Common Stock are changed into or become
exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, thereafter the number of
shares subject to outstanding Options granted to Directors and the number of
shares subject to Options to be granted to Directors under the Plan shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase
or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such change in
corporate structure, provided that the number of shares shall always be a whole
number, and the purchase price per share of any outstanding Options shall, in
the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately reduced, and
in the case of a decrease in the number of shares, shall be proportionately
increased.

                               HARRIS CORPORATION
                  EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                 (AS OF 8/22/97)


         1. DEFINITIONS. "Executive Officer" is any person so designated by the
Board of Directors of Harris Corporation. "Corporate Officers" are all officers
of the Corporation who have not been designated Executive Officers.

         2. AWARD-TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Under and subject to the provisions of
the Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan, as in effect from time to time (the
"Plan"), the Corporation has granted to the Executive a Performance Share Award
(the "Award") of such number of shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of the
Corporation as set forth and designated in writing by the Corporation to the
Executive (the "Stock"). Such Award subject to the following Terms and
Conditions:

                  (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Performance Period"
         shall be the Performance Period set forth and designated as such in
         writing by the Corporation to the Executive.

                  (b) Upon the expiration of the Performance Period and
         satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations, the Corporation
         shall at its option, cause such shares as to which the Executive is
         entitled pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof either (i) to be issued by
         delivery of a stock certificate in the name of the Executive or his
         designee, and the certificate shall be released to the custody of the
         Executive, or (ii) to be credited to an account for the benefit of the
         Executive maintained by the Corporation's stock transfer agent or its
         designee.

                  (c) (i) For Executive Officers, the Award shall be contingent
         upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the goals exhibit
         delivered to the Executive at the time of the making of the Award (the
         "Exhibit"). The payout shall be determined upon the expiration of the
         Performance Period in accordance with the Exhibit. The final payout
         determination will be authorized by the Harris Board of Directors, or
         its designee.

                      (ii) For Corporate Officers, the Award shall be contingent
         upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the goals
         specified in the approved Strategic Plan covering the Performance
         Period. The percentage attainment of the Shares subject of the Award
         shall be determined upon the expiration of the Performance Period based
         on an assessment of actual performance compared with the Strategic Plan
         and other relevant market, competitive, economic and other factors
         during the Performance Period. The final pay-out determination will be
         authorized by the Harris Board of Directors, or its designee.

                      (iii) If employment is commenced after July 15th of the
         first fiscal year of the Performance Period (such commencement date is
         referred to as the "Start Date"), the


                                       1
<PAGE>   11
         final pay-out to be made to the Executive determined in accordance with
         the prior provisions of this Section 2(c) shall be reduced by 1/36th
         for each month between July 1 of the first fiscal year or the
         Performance Period and the Start Date. Only a Start Date prior to the
         15th of a month shall be deemed employment for a full month. Other than
         with respect to the final pay-out, the pro-ration pursuant to this
         Section will not otherwise impact the Award (e.g., the Executive will
         have full voting rights and will be entitled to receive dividend
         equivalent payments and other distributions with respect to all Award
         shares).

                  (d) Subject to Section 8 hereof, during the Performance
         Period, the Executive may exercise full voting rights with respect to
         all shares of Stock subject of the Award and shall be entitled to
         receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such
         shares. Upon the expiration of the Performance Period, the Executive
         may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends
         and other distributions with respect to the number of shares to which
         the Executive is entitled pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof.

                  (e) The number of shares subject of the Award is based upon
         the assumption that the Executive shall continue to perform
         substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and
         such number of shares may be reduced or increased by the Board of
         Directors or its designee without formal amendment of this Agreement to
         reflect a change in duties during the Performance Period.

         3. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Other than in the event of a "change in
control" covered in paragraph 6 herein, if the Executive ceases to be an
employee of the Corporation or of one of its affiliates prior to the expiration
of the Performance Period: (i) for any reason other than death, disability or
retirement after age 55 with ten or more years full-time service, all shares of
Stock awarded to the Executive hereunder shall be forfeited; or (ii) due to (a)
death, (b) disability or (c) retirement after the Executive has reached age 55
and has ten or more years of full-time service, the Executive shall be eligible
to receive a pro-rata proportion of the shares of Stock which would have been
issued to the Executive under the Award at the end of the Performance Period,
such pro-rata proportion to be measured by a fraction of which the numerator is
the number of months of the Performance Period during which the Executive's
employment continued, and the denominator is the full number of months of the
Performance Period. For purposes of Section 3, only employment for 15 days or
more of a month shall be deemed employment for a full month.

         4. TRANSFER OF EMPLOYMENT. If the Executive transfers employment from
one business unit of the Corporation or an affiliate to another business unit or
affiliate during a Performance Period, such Executive shall be eligible to
receive the number of shares of Stock determined by the Board of Directors or
the Committee of the Board of Directors administering the Plan based upon such
factors as the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, in its
sole discretion may deem appropriate.

         5. PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFER. Until the expiration of the
Performance Period, the Award and the shares of Stock subject of the Award are
nontransferable except by will or by the


                                       2
<PAGE>   12

laws of descent and distribution. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Award and such shares may not be sold, exchanged, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of until the expiration
of the Performance Period, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and
shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempt to
effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

         6. CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) Upon a "change in control" of the Corporation
as defined in Section 11.1 of the Plan, the performance objectives shall be
conclusively deemed to have been attained. The Award shall be vested immediately
prior to the occurrence of a "Change in control." The Award shall be paid to the
Executive at the end of the Performance Period, provided however, (i) in the
event of death, disability, retirement, or involuntary termination other than
for Cause, the Award shall be paid in stock as soon as practicable; (ii) in the
event of resignation or termination for Cause, the Award shall be forfeited; and
(iii) in the event of a "change in the Corporation's capital structure," at the
election of the Executive, the Award shall be paid in stock or converted and
paid in cash. The amount of the cash payment will be an amount equal to the
number of shares in subject of the Award multiplied by the highest price per
share paid in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Index: (x) during the sixty (60) day period preceding and including the date of
a "change in the Corporation's capital structure;" or (y) during the sixty (60)
day period preceding and including the date of "change in control," whichever is
higher. An Award in Stock or cash shall be paid as soon as practicable.

                  (b) For purposes hereof, a "change in the Corporation's
         capital structure" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

                         (i) the Stock is no longer the only class of the 
         Corporation's common stock;

                         (ii) the Stock ceases to be, or is not readily, 
         tradable on an established securities market (in the United States)
         within the meaning of Section 409(1)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of
         1986, as amended;

                         (iii) the Corporation issues warrants, convertible 
         debt, or any other security that is exercisable or convertible into
         common stock, except for rights granted under the Corporation's Stock
         Incentive Plan; or

                         (iv) the ratio of total debt to total capitalization 
         exceeds 45 percent. Total debt is the total debt for borrowed money.
         Total capitalization is consolidated total assets of the Corporation
         less consolidated total liabilities of the Corporation.

                  (c) "Cause" shall mean (1) a material breach by the Executive
         of the duties and responsibilities of the Executive (other than as a
         result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (x)
         demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the employee's part,
         (y) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such
         breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (z) not remedied
         within fifteen (15) days


                                       3
<PAGE>   13
         after receipt of written notice, from the Corporation which
         specifically identifies the manner in which such breach has occurred or
         (2) the Executive's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a
         felony involving willful misconduct which is materially and
         demonstrably injurious to the Corporation. Any act, or failure to act,
         based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the
         Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Corporation shall be
         conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
         Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation.
         Cause shall not exist unless and until the Company has delivered to
         Executive a copy of a revolution duly adopted by three-quarters (3/4)
         of the entire Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such
         purpose (after thirty (30) days notice to Executive and an opportunity
         for Executive, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board),
         finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board an event set forth
         in clauses (1) or (2) has occurred and specifying the particulars
         thereof in detail. The Company must notify the Executive of any event
         constituting Cause within ninety (90) days following the Company's
         knowledge of its existence or such event shall not constitute Cause
         under these Terms and Conditions.

         7. MISCELLANEOUS. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which
they form a part (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successor of the Corporation, (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Florida and any applicable laws of the United States, and (c) except as
permitted under Sections 4.1 and 13.6 of the Plan, may not be amended without
the written consent of both the Corporation and the Executive. No contract or
right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the
Agreement of which they form a part. If the Award is assumed or a new award is
substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization, (including, but not
limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), employment by such assuming or
substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall
be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.

         8. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS. The Corporation shall not be required
to issue shares pursuant to the Award unless and until (a) such shares have been
duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Corporation's Stock is then
registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
with respect to such shares is then effective.

         9. COMMITTEE. The Committee of the Board of Directors administering the
Plan shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan as in
effect from time to time, to construe these Terms and Conditions and the
Agreement of which they form a part and the Plan, to establish, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other
determinations in the judgment of the Committee necessary or desirable for the
administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in these Terms and Conditions and the
Agreement of which they form a part in the manner and to the extent it shall
deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final
judge of such expediency.

         10. ADJUSTMENTS. Non-recurring losses or charges which are separately
identified and quantified in the Corporation's audited financial statements and
notes thereto including, but not limited to, extraordinary items, changes in tax
laws, changes in generally accepted accounting principles, impact of
discontinued operations, restructuring charges, restatement of prior period
financial results, shall be excluded from the calculation of performance results
for purposes of the Plan. However, the Committee can choose to include any or
all such non-recurring items as long as inclusion of each such item causes the
Award to be reduced,

         11. INCORPORATION OF PLAN PROVISIONS. These Terms and Conditions and
the Agreement of which they form a part are made pursuant to the Plan and are
subject to all of the provisions of the Plan as if the same were fully set forth
herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the
terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part
and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

                               HARRIS CORPORATION
                        PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                 (AS OF 8/22/97)


         1. AWARD - TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Under and subject to the provisions of
the Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan, as in effect from time to time (the
"Plan"), the Corporation has granted to the Employee a Performance Share Award
(the "Award") of such number of shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of the
Corporation as set forth and designated in writing by the Corporation to the
Employee (the "Stock"). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and
Conditions:

                  (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Performance Period"
         shall be the performance period set forth and designated as such in
         writing by the Corporation to the Employee.

                  (b) Upon the expiration of the Performance Period and
         satisfaction of applicable withholding obligations, the Corporation
         shall at its option, cause such shares as to which the Employee is
         entitled pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof either (i) to be issued by
         delivery of a stock certificate in the name of the Employee or his
         designee, and the certificate shall be released to the custody of the
         Employee, or (ii) to be credited to an account for the benefit of the
         Employee maintained by the Corporation's stock transfer agent or its
         designee.

                  (c) The Award shall be contingent upon the attainment during
         the Performance Period of the goals specified in the approved Strategic
         Plan covering the Performance Period. The percentage attainment of the
         Shares subject of the Award shall be determined upon the expiration of
         the Performance Period based upon an assessment of actual performance
         compared with the Strategic Plan and other relevant market,
         competitive, economic and other factors during the Performance Period.
         The final pay-out determination will be authorized by the Harris Board
         of Directors, or its designee. If employment is commenced after July
         15th of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period (such
         commencement date is referred to as the "Start Date"), the final
         pay-out to be made to the Employee determined in accordance with the
         prior provisions of this Section 1(c) shall be reduced by 1/36th for
         each month between July 1 of the first fiscal year of the Performance
         Period and the Start Date. Only a Start Date prior to the 15th of a
         month shall be deemed employment for a full month. Other than with
         respect to the final pay-out, the pro-ration pursuant to this Section
         will not otherwise impact the Award (e.g., the Employee will have full
         voting rights and will be entitled to receive dividend equivalent
         payments and other distributions with respect to all Award shares).

                  (d) Subject to Section 7 hereof, during the Performance
         Period, the Employee may exercise full voting rights with respect to
         all shares of Stock subject of the Award and shall be entitled to
         receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such


                                       1
<PAGE>   16

         shares. Upon the expiration of the Performance Period, the Employee may
         exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and
         other distributions with respect to the number of shares to which the
         Employee is entitled pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof.

                  (e) The number of shares subject of the Award is based upon
         the assumption that the Employee shall continue to perform
         substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and
         such number of shares may be reduced or increased by the Board of
         Directors or its designee without formal amendment of this Agreement to
         reflect a change in duties during the Performance Period.

         2. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Other than in the event of a "change in
control" covered in paragraph 5 herein, if the Employee ceases to be an employee
of the Corporation or of one of its affiliates prior to the expiration of the
Performance Period: (i) for any reason other than death, disability or
retirement after age 55 with ten or more years full-time service, all shares of
Stock awarded to the Employee hereunder shall be forfeited; or (ii) due to (a)
death, (b) disability or (c) retirement after the Employee has reached age 55
and has ten or more years of full-time service, the Employee shall be eligible
to receive a pro-rata proportion of the shares of Stock which would have been
issued to the Employee under the Award at the end of the Performance Period,
such pro-rata proportion to be measured by a fraction of which the numerator is
the number of months of the Performance Period during which the Employee's
employment continued, and the denominator is the full number of months of the
Performance Period. For purposes of Section 2, only employment for 15 days or
more of a month shall be deemed employment for a full month.

         3. TRANSFER OF EMPLOYMENT. If the Employee transfers employment from
one business unit of the Corporation or an affiliate to another business unit or
affiliate during a Performance Period, such Employee shall be eligible to
receive the number of shares of Stock determined by the Board of Directors or
the Committee of the Board of Directors administering the Plan based upon such
factors as the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, in its
sole discretion may deem appropriate.

         4. PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFER. Until the expiration of the
Performance Period, the Award and the shares of Stock subject of the Award are
nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Award and such shares may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of until the expiration of the Performance Period, shall not
be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall
be null and void and without effect.

         5. CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) Upon a "change in control" of the Corporation
as defined in Section 11.1 of the Plan, the performance objectives shall be
conclusively deemed to have been attained. The Award shall be vested immediately
prior to the occurrence of a "change in control." The Award shall be paid to the
Employee at the end of the Performance Period, provided however: (i) in the
event of death, disability, retirement, or involuntary termination other than
for Cause, the Award shall be paid in Stock as soon as practicable; (ii) in the
event of resignation or 


                                       2
<PAGE>   17

termination for cause, the Award shall be forfeited; and (iii) in the event of a
"change in the Corporation's capital structure," at the election of the
Employee, the Award shall be paid in stock or converted and paid in cash. The
amount of the cash payment will be an amount equal to the number of shares
subject of the Award multiplied by the highest price per share paid in any
transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index: (x) during
the sixty (60) day period preceding and including the date of a "change in the
Corporation's capital structure;" or (y) during the sixty (60) day period
preceding and including the date of "change in control," whichever is higher. An
Award in Stock or cash shall be paid as soon as practicable.

                  (b) For purposes hereof, a "change in the Corporation's
         capital structure" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

                           (i) the Stock is no longer the only class of the
                  Corporation's common stock;

                           (ii) the Stock ceases to be, or is not readily,
                  tradable on an established securities market (in the United
                  States) within the meaning of Section 409 (l)(1) of the
                  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

                           (iii) the Corporation issues warrants, convertible
                  debt, or any other security that is exercisable or convertible
                  into common stock, except for rights granted under the
                  Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan; or

                           (iv) the ratio of total debt to total capitalization
                  exceeds 45 percent. Total debt is the total debt for borrowed
                  money. Total capitalization is consolidated total assets of
                  the Corporation less consolidated total liabilities of the
                  Corporation.

                  (c) "Cause" shall mean (1) a material breach by the employee
         of the duties and responsibilities of the employee (other than as a
         result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (x)
         demonstrably willful, continued and deliberate on the employee's part,
         (y) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such
         breach is in the best interests of the Corporation and (z) not remedied
         within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the
         Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such
         breach has occurred or (2) the employee's conviction of, or plea of
         nolo contendere to, a felony involving willful misconduct which is
         materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.

         6. MISCELLANEOUS. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which
they form a part (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successor of the Corporation, (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Florida and any applicable laws of the United States, and (c) except as
permitted under Sections 4.1 and 13.6 of the Plan, may not be amended without
the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. No contract or
right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the
Agreement of which they form a part. If the Award is assumed or a new award is
substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited
to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 


                                       3
<PAGE>   18

424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), employment by such
assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary
thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by
the Corporation.

         7. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS. The Corporation shall not be required
to issue shares pursuant to the Award unless and until (a) such shares have been
duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Corporation's Stock is then
registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
with respect to such shares is then effective.

          8. COMMITTEE. The Committee of the Board of Directors administering
the Plan shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan as

Agreement of which they form a part and the Plan, to establish, amend and

omission or reconcile any inconsistency in these Terms and Conditions and the
Agreement of which they form a part in the manner and to the extent it shall
deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect, and it shall be the sole and final
judge of such expediency.

         9. ADJUSTMENTS. Non-recurring losses or charges which are separately
identified and quantified in the Corporation's audited financial statements and
notes thereto including, but not limited to, extraordinary items, changes in tax
laws, changes in generally accepted accounting principles, impact of
discontinued operations, restructuring charges, restatement of prior period
financial results, shall be excluded from the calculation of performance results
for purposes of the Plan. However, the Committee can choose to include any or
all such non-recurring items as long as inclusion of each such item causes the
Award to be reduced.

         10. INCORPORATION OF PLAN PROVISIONS. These Terms and Conditions and
the Agreement of which they form a part are made pursuant to the Plan and are
