Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
reads as follows:

         "(a) A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or

<PAGE>
                                       3

completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the
person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the
person's conduct was unlawful.

         (b) A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the
person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication or liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

         (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.

         (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a
majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such
directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

<PAGE>
                                       4

         (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

         (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.

         (g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under this section.

         (h) For purposes of this section, references to "the corporation" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same
position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.

         (i) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans, references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or
agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith an in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an
employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this section.

         (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.


<PAGE>
                                       5

         (k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction
to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification
brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily
determine a corporation's obligations to advance expenses (including attorneys'
fees.)"

         Article 7 of the Registrant's Bylaws provides as follows:

         "Section 7.1. Litigation Brought By Third Parties. The Corporation
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, formal or informal
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) (an "Action") by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation (a "Corporate Person"), or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, trustee or member
or in another authorized capacity (collectively, an "Authorized Capacity") of or
for another corporation, unincorporated association, business trust,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, individual or other legal
entity, whether or not organized or formed for profit (collectively, "Another
Entity"), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection with such Action ("Expenses") if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any Action by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea or nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

         Section 7.2. Litigation by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any Action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Corporate
Person, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in any Authorized
Capacity of or for Another Entity against Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such
Action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware or the court in which such Action was pending shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of equity or other court
shall deem proper.

<PAGE>
                                       6

         Section 7.3. Successful Defense. To the extent that a person who is or
was a Corporate Person or who is or was serving in an Authorized Capacity of or
for Another Entity at the request of the Corporation and has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any Action referred to in Section 7.1 or
7.2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or
she shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection therewith.

         Section 7.4. Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under
Section 7.1 or 7.2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by
the Corporation only upon a determination that indemnification of the person is
proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in said Sections 7.1 or 7.2. Such determination shall be made
(a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote consisting of directors not at
the time parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a
quorum, or (b) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders.

         Section 7.5. Advance Payment. The Corporation shall advance Expenses
reasonably incurred by any Corporate Person in any Action in advance of the
final disposition thereof upon the undertaking of such party to repay the
advance unless it is ultimately determined that such party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, if (a) the indemnitee furnishes the Corporation a
written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has satisfied
the standard of conduct in Section 7.1 or 7.2 and (b) a determination is made by
those making the decision pursuant to Section 7.4 that the facts then known
would not preclude indemnification under these By-Laws.

         Section 7.6. By-Law Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this
Article 7 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person
may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee, agent or participant and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

         Section 7.7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Corporate Person or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation in an Authorized Capacity of or for
Another Entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by
him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability under the provisions of this Article or the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

         Section 7.8. Further Indemnification.  The Chairman may grant to any
employee or agent of the Corporation or its affiliates rights to indemnification
and to be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its
final disposition.

<PAGE>
                                       7

         Section 7.9. Definition of Corporation. For purposes of this Article 7,
references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the surviving or
resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of
a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate
existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this Article 7 with respect to the surviving or resulting corporation as he
or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.

         Section 7.10. Change in Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of Article 7, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who is or was a
Corporate Person or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in an
Authorized Capacity of or for Another Entity to the full extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by any other applicable law,
as may from time to time be in effect.

         Section 7.11. Jurisdiction in Court of Chancery. The Delaware Court of
Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all
actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under Section
145, Chapter 1, Title 8, Delaware Code or these By-Laws or under any agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Delaware
Court of Chancery may summarily determine the Corporation's obligation to
advance Expenses."

         Subparagraph 11 of Article Ninth of Registrant's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation provides as follows:

         "No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such
director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall
be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. If the Delaware Corporation Law hereafter is amended
to authorize, with the approval of the Corporation's stockholders, further
reductions in the liability of a Corporation's directors for breach of fiduciary
duty, then a director of the Corporation shall not be liable for any such breach
to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Corporation Law as so amended.
No amendment to alter or repeal this subparagraph 11 shall apply to or have any
effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation
for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to
such amendment."

                  foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
                  advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
                  expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
                  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
                  against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
                  Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
                  or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
                  defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
                  director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
                  securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
                  the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
                  controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
                  jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it
                  is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
                  1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
                  issue.

SYSTEMS SAVINGS PLAN, hereinafter referred to as the "Plan."

                            ARTICLE II - DEFINITIONS

         Where used in this Plan, unless the context otherwise requires, or
unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the following terms shall have the
meaning described in this Article II. Where the context admits, the masculine

versa.

an affiliated service group (within the meaning of section 414(m) of the Code)
of which RTIS is a member, provided that in Sections 4.6(b) and 4.6(f) hereof

consent of a spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to
that spouse and any such consent by a spouse may be revoked by such spouse by

                  (a) The Committee shall have the absolute and unqualified
right to amend or revoke the Deferred Compensation Agreement of any Participant
at any time, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such
amendment or revocation is necessary or appropriate to prevent the Employer CODA
Contributions elected by such Participant for any Plan Year from exceeding the
limitations set forth in Sections 4.4 or 4.5 hereof, to maintain the
tax-qualified status of this Plan and the Trust, or to prevent employer
contributions for all participants under this Plan from exceeding the limits

Participant or former Employee (i) who has not completed the number of Years of
Credited Service for Vesting required under such Plan Account, and (ii) whose
number of consecutive Breaks in Credited Service equal or exceed his or her
aggregate number of Years of Credited Service prior to the Break in Credited
Service (excluding Years of Credited Service which have previously been excluded

accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof, and his or her Years of
Credited Service prior to his or her last Break in Credited Service shall be
disregarded in determining such Employee's eligibility to participate in such

disregarded in the case of any Break in Credited Service occurring after
December 31, 1984 unless the number of consecutive Breaks in Credited Service of

                           ARTICLE IV - CONTRIBUTIONS

         4.1 Amount of Employer CODA Contributions. Employers shall from year to
year contribute for the exclusive benefit of the Participants an amount equal to
the total amount of contributions elected by all Participants in their Deferred
Compensation Agreements effective for the Plan Year, subject to the limitations
set forth in Article III hereof and in Sections 4.4, 4.4, and 4.5 hereof;
provided however, that not more than 17 percent of Compensation may be
contributed per pay period.

         4.2 Amount of Employer Matched Savings Contributions. Employers shall
contribute on behalf of each Participant for whom contributions are made
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, an amount equal to 50 percent of the amount
contributed on behalf of such Participant pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof for the

Compensation received by such Participant during the Plan Year.

         4.3 Limitation on Employer Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing
Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof, the Employer contributions pursuant to this Plan
shall be subject to the limitations of Sections 4.4 and 4.5 hereof; and there
shall not be contributed for any Employer more than 15 percent of the total
Compensation paid to all of its participating Employees, determined on a
cumulative basis for all Plan Years computed as of the end of each Plan Year.

         4.4      Reduction of Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched
Savings Contributions to Meet Section 401(k) and Section 401(m) Discrimination
Tests.

                  (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article IV, the
Committee may at any time in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5
hereof, decrease the amount of the Employer CODA Contributions elected by any
Participant and Employee Matched Savings Contribution for any Participant to
meet the requirements of sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m) of the Code. In the event
that the amounts of the Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings
Contributions on behalf of any Participant under this Article exceed the amounts
specified in Section 3.3 hereof or the annual allowable deferral amount under
section 401(k)(3) or 401(m) of the Code, the excess contributions and earnings
thereon shall be distributed to the Participant by the end of the Plan Year
following the Plan Year in which such excess contributions were made.

                  (b) The exclusions in Sections 4.4(d) and 4.4(h) below shall
be applied on a uniform and consistent basis for all purposes for which the
definition contained in section 414(q) of the Code is applicable.

                  (c)      The provisions of section 1.401(m).2(b) of the
regulations under the Code are hereby incorporated by this reference.
<PAGE>
                                       23

                  (d) In the event that the initial allocations of Employer CODA
Contributions do not satisfy one of the tests set forth in this Section ("excess
contributions" hereafter), such excess contributions shall be adjusted as
follows: on or before the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of
each Plan Year, the Highly Compensated Employee having the highest actual
deferral ratio shall have his or her portion of such excess contributions
distributed to him until one of the tests set forth in this Section is
satisfied, or until his or her actual deferral ratio equals the actual deferral
ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee having the next highest deferral ratio.
This process shall continue until one of the actual deferral percentage tests
set forth in this Section is satisfied.

                  (e) For each Highly Compensated Employee, the amount of excess
contributions is equal to the Elective Contributions on behalf of such Highly
Compensated Employee (determined prior to the application of this paragraph)
minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee's
actual deferral ratio (determined after application of this paragraph) by his or
her Compensation as defined in Section 2.14 hereof. However, in determining the
amount of excess contributions to be distributed with respect to an affected
Highly Compensated Employee as determined herein, such amount shall be reduced
by any excess deferred compensation previously distributed to such affected
Highly Compensated Employee for his or her taxable year ending with or within
such Plan Year and any matching contributions which relate to such excess
deferred compensation.

                  (f) With respect to the distribution of excess contributions
pursuant to this Section; such distribution:

                      (1) may be postponed but not later than the close of the
Plan Year following the Plan Year to which they are allocable;

                      (2) shall be made first from unmatched deferred
compensation and, thereafter, simultaneously from deferred compensation which is
matched and matching contributions which relate to such deferred compensation;

                      (3) shall be adjusted for income; and

                      (4) shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution
of excess contributions (and income).

                  (g) Reduction to Meet Section 401(m) Discrimination Tests. In
the event that the initial allocations of Employer Matched Savings Contributions
for any Participant do not satisfy one of the tests set forth in this Section
("excess aggregate contributions" hereafter), the excess aggregate contributions
shall be adjusted as follows: on or before the fifteenth day of the third month
following the end of each Plan Year, the Highly Compensated Employee having the
highest actual contribution ratio shall have his or her portion of the excess
aggregate contributions distributed to him until one of the tests set forth in
this Section is satisfied, or until his or her actual contribution ratio equals
the actual contribution ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee having the next
highest actual contribution ratio. This process shall continue until one of the
actual contribution percentage tests set forth in this Section is satisfied.

                                       24

                  (h) For each Highly Compensated Employee, the amount of excess
aggregate contributions is equal to the Employee Matched Savings Matching
Contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee (determined prior to
the application of this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying
the Highly Compensated Employee's actual contribution ratio (determined after
application of this paragraph) by his or her Compensation as defined in Section
2.14 hereof.

                  (i) With respect to the distribution of excess aggregate
contributions pursuant to this Section; such distribution:

                      (1) may be postponed but not later than the close of the
Plan Year following the Plan Year to which they are allocable;

                      (2) shall be adjusted for income; and

                      (3) shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution
of excess aggregate contributions (and income).

         4.5 Reduction of Annual Additions.

             (a) Annual Additions for Participants shall be reduced in
accordance with Sections 4.5(b) and 4.5(f) below. In the event that any Other
Defined Contribution Plans do not provide for reductions in Annual Additions in
accordance with this Section, then the reductions in the Annual Additions under
this Plan shall be made in the order set forth below, disregarding the specified
priority for reductions in the Annual Additions to such Other Defined
Contributions Plans which do not so provide.

                  (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the
contrary, the Annual Additions to a Participant under the Cash or Deferred
Account on behalf of each Participant for any Plan Year, when combined with the
Annual Additions on behalf of such Participant for such Plan Year under all
Other Defined Contribution Plans cannot exceed the lesser of:

                      (1) $30,000 (or, if greater, one-fourth of the dollar
limitation in effect for such Plan Year under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code)
as adjusted from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury or his or her
delegate for increases in the cost of living pursuant to the provisions of
section 415(d) of the Code; or

                      (2) 25 percent of the Participant's 415 Compensation
during the Plan Year.

                  (c) (1) Annual Additions to which a Participant would
otherwise be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and such Other
Defined Contribution plans which are in excess of the limitations set forth
above shall be reduced in the following order:
<PAGE>
                                       25

                      (A) Employer CODA Contributions under Section 4.1 hereof;

                      (B) Employer Matched Savings Contributions under Section
4.2 hereof; and
                      (C) Forfeitures under Section 5.7 hereof.

                    (2) In the event that any such Other Defined Contribution
Plans do not provide for reductions in Annual Additions in accordance with this
Section, then the reductions in the Annual Additions under this Plan shall be
made in the order set forth above, disregarding the specified priority for
reductions in the Annual Additions to such Other Defined Contributions Plans
which do not so provide.

               (d) The Annual Additions for any year for a Participant who is or
who has been a Participant in one or more defined contribution plans maintained
by an Employer, or Affiliated Company (determined by substituting 50 percent for
80 percent in section 414(b) and (c) of the Code) which is qualified under
section 401(a) of the Code shall be aggregated for purposes of the limitations
contained in this Section.

              (e) If as a result of the allocation of Forfeitures, a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's 415 Compensation, or under other limited
facts and circumstances which the Internal Revenue Commissioner finds justify
the availability of the provisions set forth in this paragraph, the Annual
Additions under this Plan on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year would
cause the limitations set forth in this Section 4.5(b) to be exceeded for the
Plan Year, such Participants' excess Employer CODA Contribution and income
thereon shall be returned to the Participant to the extent of such excess
amounts, and any excess amounts remaining after such refund shall, if the
Participant is a Participant in this Plan as of the end of the Plan Year in
which the excess occurs, be used to reduce Employer contributions for such
Participant in the following Plan Year (and any succeeding Plan Years until the
excess amount is exhausted); provided that, if such Participant ceases to be a
Participant in this Plan prior to the end of the Plan Year in which the excess
occurs, then the excess amounts shall be unallocated in a suspense account and
allocated and reallocated to the Cash or Deferred Accounts as determined by the
Committee, of all Participants in this Plan (subject to the limitations of this
Section 4.5(b)) in the following Plan Year prior to the allocation of any
Employer contributions and shall reduce the amount of Employer contributions for
such following Plan Year for all Participants in this Plan.

                  (f) The Annual Additions for any year for a Participant who is
or who has been a Participant in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by
an Employer, or Affiliated Company (determined by substituting 50 percent for 80
percent in section 414(b) and (c) of the Code) which is qualified under section
401(a) of the Code shall not exceed an amount which would result in the sum of
the Participant's Defined Benefit Fraction for any year and the Participant's
Defined Contribution Fraction for the same year exceeding 1.0.

                                       26

                  (g) Annual Additions to which a Participant would otherwise be
entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and such Other Defined
Contribution Plans and defined benefit plans which are in excess of the
limitations set forth above shall be reduced in the following order:

                      (1) All retirement benefits under such defined
benefit plans;

                      (2) Employer CODA Contributions under Section 4.1
hereof;

                      (4) Forfeitures under Section 5.7 hereof.

                  (h) In the event that any such defined benefit plans or Other
Defined Contribution Plans do not provide for reductions in Annual Additions in
accordance with this Section, then the reductions in the Annual Additions under
this Plan shall be made in the order set forth above, disregarding the specified
priority for reductions in the Annual Additions to such Other Defined
Contribution Plans which do not so provide.

                  (i) If as a result of the allocation of Forfeitures, a
reasonable error in estimating a Participant's 415 Compensation, or under other
limited facts and circumstances which the Internal Revenue Commissioner finds
justify the availability of the provisions set forth in this Paragraph, the
Annual Additions under this Plan on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year
would cause the limitations set forth in this Section 4.5(i) to be exceeded for
the Plan Year, such Participants' excess Employer CODA Contribution, and income
thereon, shall be returned to the Participant to the extent of such excess
amounts, and any excess contribution amounts remaining after such refund shall,
if the Participant is a Participant in this Plan as of the end of the Plan Year
in which the excess occurs, be used to reduce Employer contributions for such
Participant in the following Plan Year (and any succeeding Plan Years until the
excess amount is exhausted); provided that, if such Participant ceases to be a
Participant in this Plan prior to the end of the Plan Year in which the excess
occurs, then the excess amounts shall be held unallocated in a suspense account
and allocated and reallocated to the Cash or Deferred Accounts as determined by
the Committee, of all Participants in this Plan (subject to the limitations of
this Section 4.5(i) in the following Plan Year prior to the allocation of any
Employer contributions for such following Plan Year for all Participants in this

         4.6 Allocation of Employer Contributions Among Employers. Allocation of
Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings Contributions Among
Employers. The Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings
Contributions of each Employer shall be that portion of the amount determined in
Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof which the total amount elected pursuant to Section
4.1 hereof by all Participants employed by the Employer bears to the total
amount elected by all Participants in the Plan for the Plan Year. If, however,
all Employers are members of an affiliated group (as such term is used in the
Code) and any Employer is prevented from making a contribution it would
otherwise have made by reason of having no current or accumulated earnings and
profits (as such terms are used in the Code) or because such earnings and
profits are less than the Employer contribution which it would otherwise have
made, then so much of the contribution which such Employer was prevented from
making may be made for the benefit of the participating Employees of such
Employer by the other Employers of the group to the extent permitted by the
Code.

         4.7 Form of Employer Contributions. The amount of each Employer's
Employer CODA Contributions and Employer Matched Savings contributions under

treasury shares. The value of any Raytheon Stock contributed as of the date of
contribution of the Stock shall be the Market Value of Raytheon Stock on the
Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of contribution (or if
there shall be no trading on such date, then on the first previous date on which
there was such trading).

         4.8 Time of Employer Contributions. The Employer CODA Contributions and
the Employer Matched Savings Contributions shall be made as soon as practicable
after each pay period, but in any event such contributions shall be made within
the period prescribed by the provisions of section 401(k) of the Code or any
section of the Code which supersedes said section.

         4.9 Investment of Employer Contributions. All Employer CODA
Contributions and Employer Matched Savings Contributions for the Plan Year shall
be made in cash and/or other property of equivalent value as of the date of
contribution to the individual Participant's Cash or Deferred Account which will

Participant Investment Funds in accordance with each Participant's investment
election then in effect.

         4.10     Participant Rollover Contributions.

                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
and subject to such further limitations, terms and conditions as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Committee, each Employee may make a Rollover
Contribution to such Participant's Cash or Deferred Account. No Rollover
Contribution may be made with funds which are not eligible for treatment as
rollover contributions pursuant to section 403(a)(4) of the Code. The Committee
shall have the absolute and unqualified power and authority to determine in its
sole discretion whether any such rollover contributions meet the requirements of
the Code and to grant or deny the application of any Employee or Participant to
make Rollover Contributions to this Plan.

Participant's Cash or Deferred Account and shall be fully invested as soon as
practicable after receipt by the Trustee in accordance with instructions
received from the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3
hereof.


                ARTICLE V - PARTICIPANTS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

more often than once each day to transfer assets credited to his or her Plan
Accounts among any of the Participant Investment Funds in such portions as the
Committee shall prescribe.

                  (b) (1) Conditions on Elections. Elections made pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) hereof shall be made in such manner, within such time and subject
to such limitations, terms and conditions as the Committee shall prescribe. Each
such election which conforms to the terms and conditions prescribed by the
Committee shall be effective as soon as practicable after it is received by the
Committee.

                      (2) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary no transfers may be made of any amounts in any Participant Investment
Funds which are invested in contracts or other instruments that do not expressly
permit transfers. Any transfers of any amounts in any Investment Fund which are
invested in contracts or other instruments that permit transfers shall be
subject to the provisions of such contracts or instruments, including any
penalty provisions.

                  (c) Limitations on Transfers from Investment Contract Fund. No
transfers may be made from the Investment Contract Fund to the Income Fund and
no funds previously invested in the Investment Contract Fund may be transferred
to the Income Fund from any other Participant Investment Funds until after the
expiration of 90 days from the date those funds were transferred from the
Investment Contract Fund.

         5.4 Forfeitures. The Committee shall maintain a separate Forfeiture
account to which shall be credited the amount of the account balances of all
Forfeitures occurring during the Plan Year.

         5.5 Valuation of Assets. Property held in the Participant Investment
Funds established in connection with the Plan Accounts shall be valued in
accordance with the following principles:

                  (a) Valuation of Property in General. The value of each item
of property is its Market Value.

                  (b) Valuation of Stocks, Bonds, and Other Securities Traded on
an Established Market. Stocks, bonds and other securities traded on an
established market shall be valued at their closing sale prices on the Valuation
Date. If no sale is reported for the Valuation Date, the Market Value shall be
the closing price on the most recent Trading Day on where there was a trade
unless in the opinion of the Trustee the value thus obtained does not fairly
reflect the actual Market Value on the Valuation Date, in which case the
security shall be valued by the reputable broker or investment banker selected
by the Trustee.

                                       30

                  (c) Valuation of Notes. Each note shall be valued at the sum
of its unpaid principal and of interest accrued to the Valuation Date, unless
the Trustee shall obtain evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that the note is
worth less than such sum because of change in interest rate, date of maturity,
or other cause, or that such sum, either in whole or in part, is uncollectible
by reason of insolvency of the party or parties (including any maker, guarantor,
or surety) liable, or for other cause, or that any property pledged or mortgaged
to secure the payment of such sum or any part thereof is insufficient to satisfy
payment of such sum or any part thereof, in which case the note shall be valued
by the Trustee in view of the evidence thus obtained.

                  (d) Valuation of Commingled Investment Funds. Assets of the
Trust commingled and invested with assets belonging to persons other than the
Trust shall be valued at the fair Market Value thereof on the Valuation Date as
determined by the manager of such assets.

                  (e) Valuation of Other Property. The valuation of any property
not specifically described in Sections 5.5(b), 5.5(c) and 5.5(d) hereof shall be
made in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 5.5(a) hereof.

                               ARTICLE VI - LOANS

        6.1 Loans.

                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
and subject to such further limitations, terms and conditions as may be
prescribed from time to time by the Committee, the Committee may authorize a
loan or loans to a Participant, who is not on a Leave of Absence, from his or
her Plan Accounts.

                  (b) Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as
permitted under section 414(u) of the Code.

         6.2  Limitation on Amount and Number.  No loan shall be granted:

                  (a) which would result in there being a total amount of loans
outstanding to a particular Participant, including accrued interest, in excess
of 50 percent of the combined value of the Participant's then-vested interest in
his or her Cash or Deferred Account as of the date the loan is processed;

                  (b) which would result in there being a total amount of loans
outstanding to the Participant from this Plan and all Other Defined Contribution
Plans maintained by an Employer or Affiliated Company which are qualified under
the Code, in excess of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance (if
any) of all loans from the plans to such Participant during the preceding
12-month period;
<PAGE>
                                       31

                  (c) with respect to amounts attributable to a Participant's
Cash or Deferred Account in an amount which exceeds the value of the
Participant's Cash or Deferred Account, determined pursuant to Section 5.5
hereof as of the date the loan is processed;

                  (d) which would result in the removal from the Participant's
Account any assets which are invested in contracts or instruments that do not
expressly permit loans; or

                  (e) with a principal balance of less than $500.

         6.3 Terms.

                  (a) Each loan shall be deducted from a Participant's account,
shall be secured by that portion of the Participant's vested account balance
deducted for the loan, and shall be made for such periods of time, not to exceed
five years, upon such rate of interest, and upon and subject to such other
limitations, terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Each loan,
including interest as it accrues, shall be repaid in installments in such
amounts as the Committee shall determine from each payment of Compensation by
the Employer to the Participant, and the Participant in writing shall
irrevocably authorize his or her Employer to withhold the amount of each such
installment repayment from each payment of the Participant's Compensation and to
remit the same to the Trust. Each installment shall be credited to the
Participant's account in accordance with the most recent Participant investment
election pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. In the event a Participant's
Compensation payments from an Employer are interrupted or for any other reason
loan installment payments cannot be remitted to the Trustee by the Participant's
Employer while any loan is outstanding, the Participant shall make such
installment payments, if any, within such time and such manner as the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, determine. In the event the Participant fails or
refuses to make installment payments determined by the Committee on any loan
outstanding under this Plan, such committee may, in its sole discretion, waive
or reduce any or all of such payments, or accelerate the maturity of such loan
and in such event the entire unpaid principal balance and all interest accrued
on such loan shall mature and become immediately due and payable and the unpaid
balance of principal and interest, interest accrued thereon, collection costs,
attorneys fees and other amounts due and owing pursuant to the provisions of the
instruments evidencing the loan shall be deemed paid.

                  (b) The Committee shall have the absolute and unqualified
right, in its sole discretion, to prescribe limitations, terms and conditions
for all loans, and to prescribe, amend with the consent of the Participant, and
waive any installment payments on any loan or loans made hereunder.
<PAGE>
                                       32

         6.4 Termination of Employment While Loan Outstanding. In the event the
entire principal balances of, together with all interest accrued on, all loans
made to a Participant have not been fully repaid to the Trust when the
Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary becomes entitled to payment or
distribution (excluding withdrawals made pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof) of any
of the assets in the Participant's Cash or Deferred Account if necessary, the
entire unpaid principal balances and all interest accrued on all loans made to
the Participant shall mature and become immediately due and payable and the
unpaid balances of principal and interest, interest accrued thereon, collection
costs, attorneys fees and other amounts due and owing pursuant to the provisions
of the instruments evidencing the loans shall be deducted from the Participant's
Cash or Deferred Account and applied to payment of such amounts to the Trust
prior to such distribution or payment of any amounts to the Participant or the
Participant's Beneficiary.

         6.5 Suspension or Termination. The Committee shall have the absolute
and unqualified right to suspend or terminate any and all rights of Participants
to receive loans under the Plan and the absolute and unqualified right to refuse
to make any and all loans to any Participant if such committee, in its sole
discretion, determines that such action is desirable or necessary to maintain
the status of the Plan and Trust as qualified under the provisions of section
401 of the Code or any other section of the Code which supersedes such section,
or that the Trust has insufficient cash available to make the loan or that the
making of any such loan or loans would or might constitute a violation of laws,
rules, regulations or orders applicable to the Plan. The Committee also shall
have the absolute and unqualified right to suspend or terminate any and all
rights of Participants to receive loans or to delay the effective date of any
and all loans if it, in its sole discretion, determines that such action is
desirable or necessary for any reason, including without limitation, the absence
or insufficiency of appropriate facilities, equipment, personnel, computer
systems or other resources or administrative procedures for processing loans.


            ARTICLE VII - PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES

         7.1 Distributions at Retirement, Permanent Disability or Death. Upon
Termination of Employment of an Employee because of Retirement or Permanent
Disability or in case of the death of any Participant, the full amount of his or
her Plan Accounts shall be payable to the Participant or, in case of death, to
the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, subject to applicable laws.

         7.2 Payments in Absence of Beneficiary. If a Participant does not have
a surviving spouse and fails to designate another Beneficiary or if the
Beneficiary so designated shall not survive the Participant, the Committee may
cause the Participant's interest upon his or her death to be paid to any one or
more surviving descendant or descendants or to any surviving parent or parents
or the executor under his or her will or to the administrator of his or her
estate, or to any one or more of such persons as such committee may direct.
<PAGE>
                                       33

         7.3 Distribution Upon Termination of Employment. A Participant shall be
fully and immediately vested in all amounts credited to his or her Cash or
Deferred Account. No forfeiture of a vested interest in such accounts shall take
place for any reason under this Plan. Upon Termination of Employment of any
Participant for any reason other than death, the Participant shall be entitled
to receive the full amount of his or her Cash or Deferred Account.

         7.4      Amount and Form of Distribution.

                  (a) Distribution in Raytheon Stock. All distributions from the
Raytheon Stock Fund shall be in Raytheon Stock unless the Participant or
Beneficiary elects otherwise, provided that no Raytheon Stock shall be
distributed until an S-8 application has been filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission and all other requirements of law have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares of Raytheon Stock shall be
distributed, and all assets to be distributed in the form of Raytheon Stock from
any Plan Account shall be aggregated for the purposes of such distribution so
that there shall be no more than one fractional share of Raytheon Stock. In lieu
of any fractional shares there shall be distributed in cash the Market Value of
Raytheon Stock as of the Trading Day on which the distribution is processed.

                  (b) Election for Distribution in Cash. A Participant may
elect, at such time and in such manner as shall be specified by the Committee,
to have all amounts in all of the Participant's Plan Accounts distributed in
cash. In the event the Participant dies without having made an election and
prior to the commencement of any distributions to the Participant, or to the
Participant's Beneficiaries, all primary Beneficiaries of the Participant (or
all contingent Beneficiaries if no primary Beneficiaries survive the
Participant) may elect, at such time and in such manner as shall be specified by
the Committee, to have all amounts in all of the Participant's Plan Accounts
distributed in cash. In the event of such election, all Plan Accounts shall be
valued in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof, as of the Trading Day on which the
distribution is processed.

         7.5      Time of Payment.

                  (a) All amounts distributable shall be paid or distributed to
the Participant or Beneficiary by the Trustee pursuant to instructions by the
Committee commencing, except as set forth in the following sentence, as soon as
practicable after the event giving rise to the distribution if the cumulative
balance in all of the Participant's Plan Accounts (i) does not exceed $3,500, or
(ii) exceeds $3,500 and the Participant, if living, and if not, the
Participant's Beneficiary, consents to such payment in such form and within such
time as the Committee may prescribe.

                  (b) Any amounts distributable to a Participant or Beneficiary
shall, if not previously distributed, be fully distributed unless the
Participant elects otherwise not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the
end of the Plan Year of the Participant's (i) attainment of age 65; (ii) tenth
(10th) anniversary of participation hereunder, or (iii) Retirement subject to
the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof.
<PAGE>
                                       34

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions to the
Beneficiaries of any Participant whose death occurs prior to the commencement of
any distributions to such Participant shall be made in such number of
increments, not more than three, as may be elected (i) by the Participant by
written election filed with the Committee prior to his or her death, or (ii) by
all primary Beneficiaries of the Participant (or by all contingent Beneficiaries
of the Participant if no primary Beneficiaries survive the Participant) by
written election filed with the Committee after the death of the Participant and
prior to the commencement of any distributions to the Participant or his or her
Beneficiaries; such elections may be revoked by the Participant, or after the
Participant's death by all primary Beneficiaries of the Participant (or by all
contingent Beneficiaries of the Participant if no primary Beneficiaries survive
the Participant), by notice in writing filed with the Committee prior to the
commencement of any distribution to the Participant or his or her Beneficiaries.
Except as provided in this Section 7.5, all Cash or Deferred Account
distributions to a particular Participant shall be made within the same calendar
year.

         7.6 Deferred Payment. A Participant, or, in case of his or her death a
Participant's Beneficiaries whose distribution would equal or exceed $3,500.00
may defer the receipt of all distributions to be made by the Trustee subsequent
to such Participant's Termination of Employment or death until such date as the
Participant or Beneficiaries may elect.

         7.7 Maximum Time of Commencement and Completion of Distributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in no event shall distribution
of the amount distributable to any Participant hereunder commence later than the
Required Beginning Date. In the event the entire amount distributable to a
Participant is not fully paid to the Participant by the end of the Required
Beginning Date, distribution of the entire amount distributable to the
Participant shall be fully paid within a period extending either over the life
of the Participant or over the lives of the Participant and the Participant's
Beneficiary or a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant
and the Participant's Beneficiary. The minimum payment which shall be made in
each year of the foregoing periods shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the
remaining unpaid balance of the amount distributable to the Participant, or (ii)
an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the remaining unpaid
balance of the amount distributable to the Participant at the beginning of the
year by the number of years remaining in the period (determined as of the date
of the Required Beginning Date and, if payable to the Participant's spouse,
redetermined annually), reduced by one for each year commencing after the
Required Beginning Date. In the event a Participant dies before his or her

<PAGE>
                                       35

entire amount distributable has been paid to him or her, the remaining portion
of the amount distributable shall be paid at least as rapidly as under the
method of payment in effect at the time of death. In the event distributions
have not begun at the Participant's death, the entire interest will be fully
paid within five years after the death of the Participant. The preceding
sentence shall not apply if distribution of the amount distributable to the
Participant commences within one year after the Participant's death to a
designated Beneficiary and does not extend beyond the life expectancy of the
Beneficiary. Any distribution pursuant to this Section shall be in accordance
with the requirements of proposed regulations 1.401(a)(9).1 and 1.401(a)(9).2
under the Code, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

         7.8      Withdrawals.

                  (a) The right of withdrawal shall be cumulative. An Employee
may withdraw in any year all amounts which he was entitled to but did not
withdraw in prior years.

                  (b) No Employee shall have the right to withdraw any amounts
from his or her Cash or Deferred Account prior to becoming entitled to a
distribution pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. The election to withdraw shall be
exercisable at such time, in such form and subject to such conditions as the
Committee shall prescribe.

                  (c) No withdrawal shall be made which would reduce the value
of the Participant's Cash or Deferred Account to less than 200 percent of the
sum of all outstanding and unpaid principal balances and accrued interest on
loans made to the Participant pursuant to Article VI. Any withdrawals of any
assets in a Participant's accounts which are invested in contracts or other
instruments that permit withdrawals shall be subject to the provisions of such
contracts or instruments, including any penalty provisions.

         7.9 Suspension or Termination. The Committee shall have the absolute
and unqualified right to suspend or terminate any and all rights of withdrawal
or to delay the effective date of any and all withdrawals if it, in its sole
discretion, determines that such action is desirable or necessary to maintain
the status of the Plan and Trust as qualified under the provisions of section
401 of the Code, or any other section of the Code which supersedes such section,
or for any other reason determined by the committee, in its sole discretion,
including without limitation the absence or insufficiency of appropriate
facilities, equipment, personnel, computer systems or other resources or
administrative procedures for processing withdrawals.

         7.10 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

                  (a) The payments or other benefits which a Participant is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Plan shall be paid in accordance with the
applicable requirements of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
<PAGE>
                                       36

                  (b) Treatment of Spouse. To the extent provided in any
Qualified Domestic Relations Order the former spouse of a Participant shall be
treated as a surviving spouse of such Participant for purposes of Beneficiary
designation pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.

                  (c) Procedures Upon Receipt of Domestic Relations Order.
Upon receipt of any Domestic Relations Order by the Plan:

                      (1) The Committee shall promptly notify the Participant
and any other Alternate Payee of the receipt of such order and the Plan's
procedures for determining the qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders.

                      (2) Within a reasonable period after receipt of such
order, the Committee shall determine whether such order is a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order and notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such
determination. The Committee shall establish reasonable procedures in accordance
with section 206(d) of ERISA and regulations thereunder to determine the
qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders and to administer distributions
under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                      (3) During any period in which the issue of whether a
Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being
determined (by the Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or
otherwise), the Committee shall segregate in any manner it deems appropriate the
amounts which would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period
if the Order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                      (4) If within 18 months from the date the first payment
would have been required to be paid under the Domestic Relations Order, the
order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order, the Plan shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest
thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto.

                      (5) If within 18 months from the date the first payment
would have been required to be paid under the Domestic Relations Order, it is
determined that the Order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or the
issue as to whether such Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not
resolved, then the Plan shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest
thereon) to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such amount if
there had been no Order.

                      (6) Any determination that an order is a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order which is made after the close of the 18.month period
from the date the first payment would have been required to be paid under the
Domestic Relations Order shall be applied prospectively only.

         7.11 Direct Rollover. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by
the Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid

Rollover.
                             ARTICLE VIII - FUNDING

         8.1 Funding Policy and Method. The procedure for establishing and
carrying out a funding policy and method consistent with the objectives of this
Plan and the requirements of Title I of ERISA shall be as follows:

but may be paid by the Employers if, as and when the Employers, in their sole
discretion, deem such payment to be advisable.

           ARTICLE X - RTIS EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE

         10.1 Administration. The RTIS Employee Benefits Administration
Committee shall be the administrator of the Plan, shall be charged with the
administration of the Plan and payment to Participants or Beneficiaries entitled
hereunder, and shall have such powers as may be necessary and appropriate for
such purposes, including but not by way of limitation, performance of duties
required of plan administrators under ERISA, defense of lawsuits and conduct of
litigation in the name of the Plan (subject to the approval of the general

or decide upon any matter pertaining to himself individually but such matter
shall be determined by the remaining members of the committee.

         10.4 Organization. The Committee shall appoint one of its members as
chairman and shall appoint a secretary, and may appoint one or more assistant
secretaries and one or more other agents as it shall determine, none of whom

such compensation as it deems appropriate. It may authorize one or more of its
members, officers, or agents to sign in its behalf all reporting and disclosure

         10.5 Accounts of Participants. The Committee shall maintain records of
all accounts of Participants and such other records and data as may be necessary
and appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan and to determine the
amounts distributable to Participants and Beneficiaries. In the event any
Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to receive any payment from the Trust
is, at the time of such payment, a minor, mentally incompetent or, in the
opinion of the Committee, under any other legal disability, the Committee may
direct such payment to the legal guardian or parent of such person or to any

and such payment shall fully acquit and discharge all parties hereto.

         10.6 Rules and Regulations. The Committee may adopt and promulgate such
rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the administration of the
Plan. The Committee shall adopt and promulgate written rules governing claims
procedures reasonably calculated to (i) provide adequate written notice to any
Participant or Beneficiary whose claim for share or other benefits under the
Plan has been denied, setting forth the specific reasons for such denial, and
(ii) afford a reasonable opportunity to such Participant or Beneficiary for a
full and fair review by the Committee of the decision denying the claim. The
determination of the Committee upon such review shall be final and conclusive.

         10.7 Reliance on Documents. The Committee shall be entitled to rely
upon and shall have no liability in relying upon, except as otherwise required
by Part 4 of Title I of ERISA, any representation made to it by an Employer or

         13.6 Separate Trust Funds. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan
to the contrary, the Board of Directors may establish one or more additional
separate trust funds for the purpose of holding and administering all or a
portion of the assets under this Plan. The Board of Directors shall select the

trust fund are authorized to receive all or any portion of a contribution from

any portion of any contribution to any such trustee or trustees of any such
separate trust fund. Upon the direction of the Board of Directors, the Trustee
shall transfer and pay over all or any part of the property held by it to such
other trustee or trustees. Upon the making of any such transfer or payment, the
trustee shall be fully relieved and discharged with respect to such transfer or
payment, and shall have no further responsibility with respect to the
application thereof. The Trustee is authorized to receive such property
constituting assets held under this Plan as may be paid or delivered to it from
time to time by any other trustee or trustees.

         13.7 Multiple Fiduciary Capacities. Any person or group of persons may
serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan (including,
but not by way of limitation, service both as a Trustee and administrator).

         13.8 Employment of Advisers. Any person serving in a fiduciary capacity
with respect to the Plan may employ one or more persons to render advice with
regard to any responsibility such fiduciary has under the Plan. The expense of

as and when the Employers, in their sole discretion, deem such payment to be
advisable.

         13.9 Delegation of Fiduciary Responsibilities. Any fiduciary named in
the Plan or Trust Agreement may delegate his or her fiduciary responsibilities
(other than any responsibility provided in the Trust Agreement to manage or
control the Trust Fund) to another person. The fiduciary who has so delegated
his or her responsibilities shall not be liable for an act or omission of the
person to whom such responsibilities have been delegated, except as otherwise
required by Part 4 of Title I of ERISA.

         13.10 Plan Mergers. In the event of a merger or consolidation of this
Plan with, or a transfer of assets and liabilities of this Plan to, any other
plan, the benefits each Participant would receive immediately after the merger,
consolidation or transfer (if this Plan or such other plan then terminated)
shall be at least equal to the benefits he would have received under this Plan
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if this Plan had then
terminated).

      ARTICLE XIV - AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS

         14.1     Amendment.

                  (a) The Employers jointly, and each Employer with reference to
the fund from time to time held for the benefit of its Employees and with
respect to its Employer contributions and contributions of its Employees,
separately, reserve the power to change, amend, modify, or alter any of the
provisions of this Plan at any time or to transfer the funds or part thereof to
a new trust fund for the Participants' benefit except that no such amendment,
modification, or alteration shall be exercised retroactively to alter or change
the rights of Participants or their Beneficiaries insofar as they relate to past
contributions, nor subject to the provisions of Article XIV and Section 4.5(b)
hereof, shall any such amendment vest in any Employer any right, title or
interest in and to any assets of the Trust Fund, divest any Participant of any
credit theretofore entered in his or her Cash or Deferred Account or permit any
part of the assets to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the
exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries. No amendment shall
require approval by the shareholders of any Employer. No amendment which affects
the powers, duties or responsibilities of the Trustee shall be effective until
consented to in writing by the Trustee.

                  (b) Should any amendment to this Plan amend the vesting
schedule, a Participant whose nonforfeitable percentage of his or her accrued
benefit derived from Employer contributions is determined under such schedule
and who has at least three years of service with an Employer, may elect to have
the nonforfeitable percentage of his or her accrued benefit derived from
Employer contributions determined without regard to such amendment. Such
election must be made during the period beginning with the date the amended is
adopted and ending no earlier than the latest of the following dates:

                     (1) the date which is 60 days after the day the amendment
 was adopted;

                     (2) the date which is 60 days after the day the plan
 amendment becomes effective;
or

                     (3) the date which is 60 days after the day the participant
is issued written notice of the plan amendment by the Employer or plan
administrator.

         14.2 Termination. The Employers or any Employer insofar as it is
concerned may discontinue this Plan or any Plan Account by giving written notice
to the Committee and to the Trustee. In the event of a complete discontinuance
or a termination or partial termination within the meaning of section 411(d)(3)
of the Code and the regulations thereunder, or in the event of the dissolution
of any corporation or party hereto (except the dissolution of a subsidiary whose
parent is a party hereto), or in the case of adjudication of any such

                                       44

corporation as a bankrupt, or the loss of the corporate existence of any such
corporation, or a merger into another corporation or corporations which shall
not assume the obligations of this Plan, the Plan or the discontinued Plan
Account shall terminate as to the affected Participants and the portion of the
assets then comprising the Trust Fund allocable to such Participants, as
determined by the Committee, shall be distributed among all such Participants in
proportion to their interest. Employee CODA Contributions shall be distributed
as in accordance with the provisions contained in section 401(k)(10) of the
Code.

                  ARTICLE XV - TENDER OFFERS FOR RAYTHEON STOCK

         15.1 Applicability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, the provisions of this Article XV shall apply in the event of a Tender
Offer. The Trustee may not sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of
Raytheon Stock pursuant to a Tender Offer except as provided in this Article XV.

         15.2 Directions to Trustee. Each Participant may direct the Trustee to
sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of Allocated Stock in
accordance with the provisions, conditions and terms of such Tender Offer and
the provisions of this Article XV. Such directions from Participants shall be
confidential and shall not be divulged by the Trustee to anyone, including the
Employers or any director, officer, Employee or agent of the Employers, it being
the intent of this Section 15.2 to ensure that the Employers (and their
directors, officers, Employees and agents) cannot determine the direction given
by any Participant. Such directions shall be in such form and shall be filed in
such manner and at such time as the Trustee may prescribe. The confidentiality
provision of this Section shall likewise apply to the decisions of the Trustee
made pursuant to Section 15.4 hereof.

         15.3 Trustee Action On Participant Directions. The Trustee shall sell,
offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of Allocated Stock pursuant to a
Tender Offer with respect to which it has received directions from Participants
to do so under this Article XV. The proceeds of a disposition of Allocated Stock
directed by a Participant from his or her Plan Accounts under this Article XV
shall be allocated to the Participant's Plan Accounts from which the Raytheon
Stock was taken and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 15.5 hereof.
To the extent Participants do not validly direct the Trustee to sell, offer to
sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of Allocated Stock pursuant to a Tender
Offer, the Trustee shall not sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose
of such shares pursuant to such Tender Offer.

         15.4 Trustee Action on Unallocated Raytheon Stock. The Trustee shall
sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of only that number of shares
of Unallocated Raytheon Stock that bears the same ratio to the total of all
shares of Unallocated Raytheon Stock as the number of shares of Allocated Stock
for which the Trustee has received valid directions from Participants to sell,
offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of bears to the total number of
shares of Allocated Stock in the Plan Accounts of Participants. The proceeds of
a disposition of Unallocated Raytheon Stock shall be held by the Trustee and
invested in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5 hereof.
<PAGE>
                                       45

         15.5 Investment of Plan Assets after Tender Offer. Following the sale,
exchange or other disposition of Raytheon Stock by the Trustee pursuant to a
Tender Offer and in accordance with this Article XV, the following provisions
shall apply.

                  (a) In the event that, immediately following completion of the
Tender Offer, Raytheon Stock is no longer a "Qualifying Employer Security" (as
defined by ERISA), the Trustee shall retain any new Qualifying Employer
Securities received pursuant to such sale, exchange or other disposition and
invest the other proceeds from such sale, exchange or other disposition in new
Qualifying Employer Securities to the extent available as soon as practicable.

                  (b) In the event that, immediately following completion of the
Tender Offer, Raytheon Stock continues to be a Qualifying Employer Security,
then the Trustee shall invest the proceeds from such sale, exchange or other
disposition in accordance with the investment provisions of this Plan applicable
to the Plan Accounts from which the Raytheon Stock was sold, exchanged or
disposed of.

                  (c) Pending the investment of the proceeds from a sale,
exchange or other disposition of Raytheon Stock in accordance with this Section
15.5, or in the event Qualifying Employer Securities do not exist or are not
available, the proceeds from such sale, exchange or other disposition of
Raytheon Stock shall be invested in such manner as the Trustee (or investment
manager appointed by the Board of Directors for such purpose) in its discretion
shall from time to time determine.


                       ARTICLE XVI - TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

         16.1 General. The provisions of this Article XVI shall apply if and
only if the Plan shall become Top-Heavy with respect to a Plan Year. In the
event the Plan is determined to be Top-Heavy with respect to a Plan Year, the
provisions of this Article XVI shall apply during such Plan Year in lieu of any
conflicting provisions set forth elsewhere in the Plan with respect to benefit
accrual, vesting, entitlement to benefits, commencement of benefit payments, and
rights of Participants or others under this Plan. None of the provisions set
forth in this Article XVI shall apply to benefit accrual, vesting, entitlement
to benefits, commencement of benefit payments, and rights of Participants or
others during any Plan Year with respect to which this Plan is not determined to
be Top-Heavy, regardless of whether such Plan Year occurs before or after a Plan
Year with respect to which this Plan is determined to be Top-Heavy, provided,
however, that any benefit accrual, vesting, entitlement to benefits,
commencement of benefit payments, or rights of Participants or others which are
protected under sections 411(a)(10) and 411(d)(6) of the Code which accrue
during any Plan Year with respect to which this Plan is determined to be
Top-Heavy, shall not be reduced thereafter.
<PAGE>
                                       46

         16.2     Minimum Employer Contributions.

                  (a) The minimum amount of CODA Contributions pursuant to the
Plan for each Participant who is not a Key Employee and who does not participate
in a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company of
RTIS which is qualified under section 401(a) of the Code shall be not less than
three percent of such Participant's Compensation during the Plan Year, but such
percent shall be reduced, if necessary, to a percent not exceeding the percent
of Compensation (disregarding any Compensation in excess of $150,000)
contributed under theCash or Deferred Account and any other salary reduction
agreement for the Participant who is the Key Employee during such Plan Year
receiving the highest contributions and Forfeitures from the Cash or Deferred
Account or any other salary reduction agreement for the Plan Year. For purposes
of determining the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee for a year in which
the plan is Top-Heavy under section 416 of the Code, Employer CODA Contributions
must be included in determining the percentage. When providing for the minimum
contribution hereunder pursuant to section 416(c) of the Code, the Employer CODA
Contributions made on behalf of non-Key Employees shall not be considered.

                  (b) For purposes of this Section, the term "Compensation"
shall have the meaning set forth for such term in Section 2.35 hereof. For
purposes of determining if the minimum contributions set forth herein have been
made in any Plan Year, all Employer contributions made for participants in all
U.S. tax qualified defined contribution plans maintained by RTIS and its
Subsidiaries shall be added to the contributions made for Participants pursuant
to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employer maintains more than
one plan which is Top-Heavy, each Employee covered under both a defined
contribution plan and a defined benefit plan which are top-heavy will receive
the defined benefit minimum contribution in the defined benefit plan offset by
the benefits provided under this and any other Top-Heavy defined contribution
plan, provided that if the provisions of Section 16.4 hereof do not apply, i.e.,
1.0 is not substituted for 1.25, then the defined benefit minimum contribution
will be increased by one percentage point (to a maximum of 10 percentage points)
per year of service.

         16.3 Top-Heavy. The Plan shall be "Top-Heavy" during a Plan Year if, as
of the Determination Date, the aggregate of the accounts of all Participants who
are Key Employees exceeds 60 percent of the aggregate of the accounts of all
Participants. For purposes of determining if the foregoing condition is met:

                  (a) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of
all participants in all U.S. tax qualified defined benefit plans, and the
aggregate of the accounts of all participants in all U.S. tax qualified defined
contribution plans, maintained by RTIS or any subsidiary of RTIS in which a Key
Employee is a participant and all plans in the Required Aggregation Group shall
be added to the aggregate of all accounts under this Plan;
<PAGE>
                                       47

                  (b) all distributions made to participants under this Plan and
all such other plans during the five-year period ending on the Determination
Date shall be included;

                  (c) rollover contributions to this Plan or any other plan
described in this paragraph initiated by a participant shall be excluded;

                  (d) the accrued benefits and accounts of any participant who
has performed no services for an Employer under this or any such other plan
during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date shall be
disregarded; and

                  (e) a participant who was a Key Employee on the Determination
Date but who ceased to be a Key Employee in the following Plan Year shall not be
considered a Key Employee for purposes of the determination.

         16.4 Limitations on Annual Additions. "1.0" shall be substituted for
"1.25" in the definitions of the terms "Defined Benefit Fraction" and "Defined
Contribution Fraction" unless (i) the requirements in Section 16.3 hereof are
met when the provisions of such Section 16.2 hereof are applied by substituting
"four percent" for "three percent" therein and (ii) this Plan would not be
Top-Heavy if "90 percent" were substituted for "60 percent" in Section 16.3
hereof.

         This Plan shall be effective as of July 11, 1997, subject to the
approval of the Internal Revenue Service.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument is executed as of the 11th day of
July, 1997.

         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-8 under
                  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I am Corporate Counsel to Raytheon Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and as such, I, and other attorneys in this office, have 
participated with the Company in the preparation for filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement") covering 200,000 shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, as well as an indeterminate
amount of related interests (the "Interests") in the Raytheon TI Systems Savings
Plan (the "Plan"), which Shares and Interests may hereafter be acquired by
participants ("Participants") in the Plan. In connection with filing the
Registration Statement, the rules and regulations of the Commission require my
opinion, in my capacity as Corporate Counsel of the Company, on the matters set
forth below.

         In rendering this opinion, I, and other attorneys in this office, have
examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise, of all
such corporate records, documents, agreements or other instruments of the
Company, and have made such investigation of law and have discussed with the
officers of the Company such questions of fact as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate. In rendering this opinion, I have relied upon certificates and
statements of officers and directors of the Company as to factual matters, and
have assumed the genuiness of all documents submitted as copies.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the
Shares will be, upon the issuance thereof pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     I am also of the opinion that the Plan confers valid Interests upon
Participants, to the extent and upon the terms and conditions described in the
Plan.

         I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                                              Very truly yours,
