In<br \/>\nthis position you will be an officer of the Corporation and will report to<br \/>\nNicholas D. Chabraja, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Please understand<br \/>\nthat your election to officer status is subject to approval by the Board of<br \/>\nDirectors.

Annual awards for Incentive Compensation are<br \/>\ndependent upon your performance as well as the corporation\u0092s performance. The<br \/>\nLong-Term Incentive Program (LTIP) provides annual awards of stock options and<br \/>\nperformance-restricted stock. The present value of your long-term award will be<br \/>\napproximately $1,100,000. Part of this award is in the form of options and part<br \/>\nin the form of performance restricted stock. Please note that all long-term<br \/>\nequity awards are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the<br \/>\nBoard of Directors. The value of your total direct compensation (salary, bonus,<br \/>\nand long-term equity) is about $2,000,000.

The grant value will be the average of the high and low on your first<br \/>\nday of work and restrictions will lapse according to the original vesting<br \/>\nschedule. Also, you will be granted restricted shares of General Dynamics stock<br \/>\nto offset forfeitures of Raytheon shares. These shares will have a two year<br \/>\nrestriction period.<\/p>\n<p>Using the February 12, 2001 closing prices of Raytheon (RTNb &#8211; $33.30) and<br \/>\nGeneral Dynamics (GD &#8211; $66.41) as an illustration, the resulting awards would be<br \/>\na grant of 40,293 shares of restricted stock.
