NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal
recurring accruals. Because of seasonal and other factors, results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
a. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the computation of
primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average number
of outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the
exercise of stock options. For the three months ended September 30,
1997, the fully diluted computation includes additional shares for the
assumed conversion of the 8 1/4% convertible notes due 2006. The
computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
are based solely on the weighted average number of outstanding common
shares. Conversion is not assumed for the 8 1/4% convertible notes due
2000 in either period in 1997, both convertible notes in 1996 and
Series A preferred stock in any of the periods since such conversions
would have been antidilutive. The shares used in the computations are
as follows (in thousands):

Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company reported net
income of $50.9 million, compared to net income of $14.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. On a per-share basis, the third
quarter net income was $.14 per primary and $.13 per fully diluted common
share after preferred dividends, compared to a loss of $.09 per primary and
fully diluted common share a year ago.
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $1.62 billion,
compared to $1.63 billion for the year-ago period, which included a major
contract for electronic voting machines. Excluding this contract and a
three percentage point adverse foreign currency impact, revenue in the third
quarter increased 7%. Total gross profit percent was 35.5% in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to 32.5% in the year-ago period.
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $340.0 million compared to $353.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, and research and development
expenses were $74.5 million compared to $81.2 million a year earlier. The
declines were largely due to the Company's cost reduction actions and the
effects of foreign currency translations.
For the third quarter of 1997, the Company reported an operating income
percent of 9.9% compared to 5.9% for the third quarter of 1996.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Customer revenue from the Information Services Group ("ISG") increased 6% in
the quarter as a result of growth in both systems integration and
outsourcing. ISG's gross profit percent was 21.1% in 1997 compared to 19.1%
last year reflecting the benefits of an improved bid quality and control
process.
In the Global Customer Services ("GCS") business, growth in distributed
computing support services moderated in the quarter due to increased
competition in the network integration market. Although customer revenue in
GCS increased 6% due to the continued rollout of a large Federal government
networking project, that project negatively impacted the group's gross
profit percent in the quarter, which was 27.0% compared to 28.7% last year.
Also impacting the group's margins was the continued shift in its business
mix from proprietary maintenance toward distributed computing support
services.
Customer revenue in the Computer Systems Group ("CSG") decreased 11% in
comparison with a year ago, which included the voting machines contract
mentioned above. Excluding this contract, CSG's revenue was flat when
compared with the prior year. CSG gross profit percent rose to 46.2% in
1997 from 41.6% last year, due in large part to a higher proportion of sales
of large-scale enterprise servers.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 1997 was $59.5 million compared to
$66.7 million in the third quarter of 1996, principally due to lower average
debt levels.
Other income (expense), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was an
expense of $20.2 million in the current quarter compared to an expense of
$7.5 million in the year-ago period. The change was mainly due to lower
equity and interest income.
Income before income taxes was $80.8 million in 1997 compared to $21.5
million last year. The provision for income taxes was $29.9 million in the
current period compared to $7.3 million in the year-ago period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net income was $112.1 million,
or $.16 per fully diluted common share after payment of preferred dividends.
In the nine-month period one year ago, net income was $6.1 million, or a
loss of $.49 per fully diluted common share after preferred dividends.
Revenue was $4.74 billion compared to $4.56 billion for the first nine
months of 1996.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This
statement requires that if a transfer of financial assets does not meet
certain criteria for recording the transaction as a sale, the transfer must
be accounted for as a secured borrowing. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did
not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
consolidated statement of income, or liquidity.
In February of 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," was issued. This
statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share. Adoption of SFAS No. 128 and restatement of prior periods'
earnings per share is required in the fourth quarter of 1997. For the
Company, earnings per share under SFAS No. 128 for the current quarter would
be the same as reported. The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 128 on earlier
periods is immaterial.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 1997 were
$555.1 million compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 1996. Cash was used
during the first nine months of 1997 for operating, investing and financing
activities as described below.
Cash used for operating activities during the nine months ended September
30, 1997 was $10.2 million compared to $352.7 million used during the prior-
year period. The decline in cash usage from operations in the current
period compared to the year-ago period was due to current period income and
improved working capital management, including improvements in inventory
turns and accounts receivable days outstanding.
Cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 1997 was
$201.9 million compared to $176.3 million used in the year-ago period. The
increase in cash usage was principally due to increased capital expenditures
as a number of large-scale Clearpath enterprise servers were added to the
Company's rental machine base.
Cash used for financing activities during the first nine months of 1997 was
$226.6 million compared to cash provided of $272.7 million in 1996. In the
current period, the Company redeemed all $150.0 million of its Series B and
C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The year-ago period includes
proceeds of $700.9 million from issuances of debt and $339.6 million of
principal payments of debt. Dividends paid on preferred stock were $86.4
million in the first nine months of 1997 compared to $90.6 million in the
first nine months of 1996.
At September 30, 1997, total debt was $2.3 billion, a slight decrease from
December 31, 1996. In June 1997, the Company entered into a two-year $200
million revolving credit facility replacing the prior one-year facility.
The facility includes certain financial tests that must be met as conditions
to a borrowing and provides that no loans may be outstanding for twenty
consecutive days in each quarter. The facility may not be used to refinance
other debt. The amount the Company may borrow at any given time is
dependent upon the amount of certain of its accounts receivable and
inventory. As of September 30, 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the facility and the entire $200 million was available for borrowings.
On October 7, 1997, the Company called all $345 million outstanding
principal amount of its 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2000 (the
"2000 Notes") for redemption on October 27, 1997. The 2000 Notes were
convertible, prior to the close of business on October 27, 1997 (the
"Conversion Expiration Time"), into an aggregate of 33.7 million shares of
the Company's common stock. In connection with the call for redemption, the
Company entered into a standby arrangement with an investment bank (the
"Purchaser") providing that, if fewer than all of the 2000 Notes were
surrendered for conversion prior to the Conversion Expiration Time, the
Purchaser would purchase from the Company such number of shares of its
common stock as would have been issuable upon conversion of the 2000 Notes
not so surrendered. Prior to the Conversion Expiration Time, approximately
$344 million principal amount of 2000 Notes were converted into
approximately 33.6 million shares of the Company's common stock. The
Purchaser purchased an additional .1 million shares of the Company's common
stock pursuant to the standby arrangement, and the proceeds were used by the
Company to effect the redemption of the 2000 Notes not surrendered for
conversion. As a result, no 2000 Notes are currently outstanding, and the
Company has issued all 33.7 million shares of its common stock issuable in
respect thereof.
8
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
On November 7, 1997, the Company announced that it was making a special
conversion offer to holders of its 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2006 (the "2006 Notes"). The offer is for up to $294 million of the $299
million of 2006 Notes outstanding. Under the offer, the Company will pay
holders who elect to convert their notes into common stock a cash premium of
$155, plus accrued interest, for each $1,000 in principal amount of 2006
Notes converted. Assuming the full $294 million in principal amount of 2006
Notes is converted, the Company would take a one-time charge against
fourth-quarter net income of approximately $46 million, would issue 42.8
million shares of common stock, and would save approximately $24 million in
annual interest payments.
The Company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for or repurchase its
securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
depending upon availability, market conditions, and other factors.
The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
effective registration statement covering approximately $315 million of debt
or equity securities, which enables the Company to be prepared for future
market opportunities.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of
deferred tax liabilities of $1,412 million. For the reasons cited below,
management determined that it is more likely than not that $1,009 million of
such assets will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance
of $403 million.
The Company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its net deferred tax
assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of
such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of
realization are the Company's forecast of future taxable income, which is
adjusted by applying probability factors, and available tax planning
strategies that could be implemented to realize deferred tax assets. The
combination of these factors is expected to be sufficient to realize the
entire amount of net deferred tax assets. Approximately $2.9 billion of
future taxable income (predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the
net deferred tax assets.
The Company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Failure to achieve forecasted
taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax
assets. See "Factors That May Affect Future Results" below.
Stockholders' equity decreased $69.7 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 principally reflecting translation adjustments of $104.9
million and preferred dividends declared of $86.4 million, offset in part by
net income of $112.1 million.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
From time to time, the Company provides information containing "forward-
looking" statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are
subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from expectations. These
include, but are not limited to, the following: the continued competitive
pressures and volatility in the information technology and services industry
on revenues, pricing and margins; rapid changes in technology, technology
standards and product life cycles; the Company's ability to design, develop,
introduce, deliver or obtain new products and services on a timely and cost-
effective basis; the Company's ability to effectively manage the shift of
its business mix away from traditional high-margin product and services
offerings; the Company's ability to profitably bid and perform services
contracts, particularly large, fixed-price, multi-year systems integration

contracts; the Company's reliance on third-party alliances, subcontractors,
suppliers and distribution channels; the risks of doing business
internationally, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations,
changes in political or economic conditions, trade protection measures and
import or export licensing requirements; the Company's cost of and success
in attracting and retaining highly skilled people; and natural disasters or

G. whether or not the shares of such series shall have priority over
or parity with or be junior to the shares of any other class or series in any
respect, or shall be entitled to the benefit of limitations restricting (i) the
creation of indebtedness of the Corporation, (ii) the issuance of shares of any
other class or series having priority over or being on a parity with the shares
of such series in any respect, or (iii) the payment of dividends on, the making
of other distributions in respect of, or the purchase or redemption of shares
of any other class or series on parity with or ranking junior to the shares of
such series as to dividends or assets, and the terms of any such restrictions,
or any other restriction with respect to shares of any other class or series on
parity with or ranking junior to the shares of such series in any respect;
H. whether such series shall have the voting rights, in addition to
any voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of such voting rights,
which may be general or limited; and
I. any other powers, preferences, privileges, and relative
participating, optional, or other special rights of such series, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, to the full extent now or
hereafter permitted by law.
The powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other
special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and
all other series at any time outstanding. All shares of any one series of
Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects with all other shares of
such series, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may
differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative.
Section 2. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for
each share of Common Stock held of record on all matters on which stockholders
generally are entitled to vote. Subject to the provisions of law and the
rights of the Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock having a
preference as to dividends over the Common Stock then outstanding, dividends
may be paid on the Common Stock at such times and in such amounts as the Board
of Directors shall determine. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Corporation, after any preferential amounts to be distributed to the
holders of the Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock having a
preference over the Common Stock then outstanding have been paid or declared
and set apart for payment, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution
to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them,
respectively.
Section 3. Junior Preferred Stock:
A. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be
designated as "Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Junior Preferred
Stock") and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 1,500,000.
Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board
of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of
Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then
outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding
rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued
by the Corporation.
B. Dividends and Distributions.
(i) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of
any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the
shares of Junior Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of
shares of Junior Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock
and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June,
September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as
a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a
share of Junior Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest
cent) equal to the greater of (a) $15 or (b) subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, 300 times the aggregate per share amount of
all cash dividends, and 300 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in
kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, or a subdivision of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common
Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with
respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance
of any share or fraction of a share of Preferred Stock. In the event the
Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(ii) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution
on the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in Paragraph (i) of this Subsection
immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in
the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common
Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the
next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $15 per share on
the Junior Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
(iii) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Junior
Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record
date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on
such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or
unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date
after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Junior
Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall
begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the
shares of Junior Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of
such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be
allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time
outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the
determination of holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to
receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record
date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment
thereof.
C. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock
shall have the following voting rights:
(i) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, each share of Junior Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to
300 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares
of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares
of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall
be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(ii) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders
of shares of Junior Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock
shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders of the Corporation.
(iii) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall
not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Junior Preferred Stock so as to affect
them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-
thirds of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, voting together as
a single series.
(iv) Except as set forth herein, holders of Junior Preferred
Stock shall have no voting rights.
D. Certain Restrictions.
(i) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in Subsection B
are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Junior Preferred Stock
outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:
(a) declare or pay dividends on, make any other
distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock;
(b) declare or pay dividends on or make any other
distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior
Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock
and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are
then entitled; or
(c) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of Junior Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity
with the Junior Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer
made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to
all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after
consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights
and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good
faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series
or classes.
(ii) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Paragraph (i) of
this Subsection (D) purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and
in such manner.
E. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Junior Preferred Stock
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All
such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares
of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred
Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.
F. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1)
to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or
upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall
have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of
such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 300 times the
aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock, or (2)
to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior Preferred Stock, except
distributions made ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock and all other such
parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all
such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In
the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each
such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause
(1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event.
G. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter
into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the
shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of
Junior Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed
in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth) equal to 300 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash
and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or
for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the
Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in
each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to
the exchange or change of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.
H. No Redemption. The shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable.
I. Rank. Nothing herein shall preclude the Board of Directors from
creating or authorizing any class or series of Preferred Stock ranking on a
parity with or prior to the Junior Preferred Stock as to the payment of
dividends or the distribution of assets.
Section 4. Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock:
A. Designation and Amount. The designation of this series which
consists of 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock is "Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The number of
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be decreased from time to time by a
resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors; provided that no such
amendment shall reduce the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to
a number less than the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the
conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities convertible or
exchangeable into Series A Preferred Stock.
B. Rank. All Series A Preferred Stock shall rank prior to the
Corporation's Common Stock and to the Corporation's Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, both as to payment of dividends and as to distribution of
assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary.
C. Dividends.
(i) The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive cash dividends at the annual rate of $3.75 per share, and
no more, which shall be payable quarterly on the 15th day of October, January,
April and July of each year to holders of record as they appear on the stock
books of the Corporation on such record dates as are fixed by the Board of
Directors, but only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds at the time legally available for the payment of dividends. Dividends on
shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the merger of SP Merger
Co. Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, and Sperry Corporation (the "Merger") shall be cumulative and
shall accrue without interest from the effective time of the Merger (the
"Effective Time") and dividends on all other shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be cumulative and shall accrue without interest from the later of the
Effective Time or the last dividend payment date immediately preceding the date
of issuance of such shares. No dividends or other distributions, other than
dividends payable solely in shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking
junior as to dividends to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the
"Junior Dividend Stock"), shall be paid or set apart for payment on, and no
purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made of, any shares of
Junior Dividend Stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock, including the full dividend for the then current
quarterly dividend period, shall have been declared and paid or a sum
sufficient for payment thereof set apart.
(ii) No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart
for payment on any class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends,
on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Parity Dividend Stock") for
any period unless full cumulative dividends have been, or contemporaneously
are, declared and paid or set apart for such payment on the Series A Preferred
Stock for all dividend payment periods terminating on or prior to the date of
payment of such full cumulative dividends. When dividends are not paid in full
upon the Series A Preferred Stock and the Parity Dividend Stock, all dividends
declared and paid or set aside for payment upon shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and the Parity Dividend Stock shall be declared and paid or set aside
for payment pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared and paid or set
aside for payment per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and the Parity
Dividend Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accrued dividends per share on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the
Parity Dividend Stock bear to each other.
(iii) Any reference to "distribution" contained in this
Subsection C shall not be deemed to include any stock dividend or distributions
made in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
D. Liquidation Preference. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary,
the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or
surplus of any nature, an amount equal to the dividends accrued and unpaid
thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, whether or not
declared, without interest, and a sum equal to $50 per share, and no more,
before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of
shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of the Corporation's
capital stock ranking junior as to liquidation rights to the Series A Preferred
Stock (the "Junior Liquidation Stock"). The entire assets of the Corporation,
available for distribution after the liquidation preferences of any class or
series of capital stock ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Stock are fully
met, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock and any other class or series of the capital stock hereafter
issued having parity as to liquidation rights with the Series A Preferred Stock
in proportion to the respective accrued and unpaid dividends and preferential
amounts to which each is entitled (but only to the extent of such accrued and
unpaid dividends and preferential amounts) when such assets are not sufficient
to pay in full the aggregate amounts payable thereon. Neither a consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with another corporation nor a sale or transfer of
all or part of the Corporation's assets for cash, securities or other property
will be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
E. Redemption.
(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the
Corporation, at its option, may redeem at any time after the issuance thereof,
the whole, or from time to time any part, of the Series A Preferred Stock;
provided, however, that no shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed
prior to June 1, 1989 unless the Closing Price (as defined below) of the Common
Stock on each of at least 20 Trading Days (as defined below) out of a 30
consecutive Trading Days' period ending within 5 Trading Days of the date of
the notice of redemption shall have equalled or exceeded 150% of the then
effective conversion price. A "Trading Day" shall be any day on which the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to
trading or listed is open, or, if the Common Stock is not so admitted to
trading or so listed, any day except Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or any
day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are obligated or
authorized to close. The "Closing Price" for each day shall be the last
reported sale price on that day or, in case no such reported sale takes place
on such day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices on that day,
in either case, as reported in the consolidated transaction reporting system
for the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
admitted to trading or listed, or if not so listed or admitted to trading, the
average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices as
furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated
Quotation System ("NASDAQ") or such other nationally recognized quotation
service selected by the Corporation for the purpose, if NASDAQ is not at the
time furnishing quotations. If the Common Stock is not publicly held or so
listed or traded, the "Closing Price" shall mean the fair value per share as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall
be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. The
redemption price per share will be the following if the Series A Preferred
Stock is redeemed during the 12-month period ending June 1,
Redemption Redemption
Year Price Year Price
1987 $53.750 1992 $51.875
1988 53.375 1993 51.500
1989 53.000 1994 51.125
1990 52.625 1995 50.750
1991 52.250 1996 50.375
and will be $50 per share if redeemed at any time after June 1, 1996, plus, in
each case, an amount in cash equal to all dividends on shares of Series A
Preferred Stock accrued and unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, pro rata
to the date fixed for redemption, such sum being hereinafter referred to as the
"Redemption Price".
(ii) In case of the redemption of less than all of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall designate
by lot, or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may determine, the
shares to be redeemed, or shall effect such redemption pro rata.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not redeem less than all
of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time outstanding, unless all
dividends accrued and in arrears upon all shares of Series A Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall have been paid for all past dividend periods, and until
full dividends for the then current dividend period on all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding, other than the shares to be redeemed, shall
have been paid or declared and the full amount thereof set apart for payment.
(iii) Not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
redemption date, notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, shall be given to
the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed,
addressed to such stockholders at their last addresses as shown by the records
of the Corporation.
(iv) Any notice which is mailed as herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the stockholder
receives such notice; and failure to give such notice by mail, or any defect in
such notice, to the holders of any shares designated for redemption shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares
of Series A Preferred Stock. On or after the date fixed for redemption as
stated in such notice, each holder of the shares called for redemption shall
surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the
place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive
payment of the Redemption Price. If less than all the shares represented by
any such surrendered certificate are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be
issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(v) The Corporation shall, on or prior to the date fixed for
redemption of any shares, but not earlier than 45 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption, deposit with its transfer agent or other redemption agent
selected by the Board of Directors, as a trust fund, a sum sufficient to redeem
the shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority
to such transfer agent or other redemption agent to give or complete the notice
of redemption thereof and to pay to the respective holders of such shares, as
evidenced by a list of such holders certified by an officer of the Corporation,
the Redemption Price upon surrender of their respective share certificates.
Such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of such shares to their
holders; and from and after the date of such deposit, all rights of the holders
of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, as stockholders of
the Corporation with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the
Redemption Price, without interest, upon the surrender of their respective
certificates, and except the right to convert their shares into Common Stock as
provided in Subsection F, shall cease and terminate. No dividends shall accrue
on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption after the date
fixed for redemption (unless the Corporation shall fail to deposit the sum
sufficient to redeem all shares called for redemption). In case holders of any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption shall not, within one
year after such deposit, claim the amount deposited for redemption thereof,
such transfer agent or other redemption agent shall, upon demand, pay over to
the Corporation the balance of such amount so deposited. Thereupon, such
transfer agent or other redemption agent shall be relieved of all
responsibility to the holders thereof and the sole right of such holders shall
be as general creditors of the Corporation. To the extent that shares of
Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption are converted into Common Stock
prior to the date fixed for redemption, the amount deposited by the Corporation
to redeem such shares shall immediately be returned to the Corporation. Any
interest accrued on any funds so deposited shall belong to the Corporation, and
shall be paid to it from time to time on demand.
F. Conversion.
(i) On or after the issuance thereof, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holders thereof, upon
surrender of the certificates therefor, convert any or all of their shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock and such other securities and property as hereafter provided. The
conversion price, which shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph
(ii), shall be $29.93 ("Conversion Price"). For the purposes of calculating
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible at the Conversion Price, the price per share of Series A Preferred
Stock is $50.
(ii) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend
or make a distribution on the outstanding shares of its Common Stock in shares
of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of its
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify
the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or
distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable
on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such time
shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of capital stock
which he would have owned or been entitled to receive had such shares of Series
A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such time. Any shares of
Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been
issued immediately prior to the time of the record date for such dividend for
purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under
Subsections (b) and (c) below. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event specified above shall occur.
(b) In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for
the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of shares of Common
Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such
record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a
conversion price per share) less than the Closing Price of a share of Common
Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately
thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of such Common Stock so offered
(or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so
offered) would purchase on that day at the Closing Price, and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered
are initially convertible). Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the
account of the Corporation shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of
any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such
record date is fixed. In the event that such rights, options, warrants or
convertible securities are not so issued, the Conversion Price then in effect
shall be readjusted to the conversion price which would then be in effect if
such record date had not been fixed.
(c) In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for
the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock (i) of
shares of any class of capital stock other than Common Stock or (ii) of
evidences of its indebtedness or (iii) of assets (excluding cash dividends or
distributions, and dividends or distributions referred to in Subsection (a)
above) or (iv) of rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection
(b) above), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Closing
Price per share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation) of said shares
or evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed,
and of which the denominator shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding multiplied by such Closing Price per share. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event
that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price then in effect
shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such record date had not been fixed.
(d) In any case in which this Paragraph (ii) shall require
that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for
an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (i)
issuing to the holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted after
such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock or securities, if any, issuable upon
such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and
above the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock or securities, if any,
issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii)
paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant
to Paragraph (iii) of this Subsection F; provided, however, that the
Corporation shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate
instrument evidencing such holder's rights to receive such additional shares of
Common Stock and other capital stock or securities, if any, and such cash, upon
the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(e) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% of such price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustment
which by reason of this Subsection (e) is not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(f) All calculations under this Paragraph (ii) shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share of Common
Stock as the case may be.
(g) Anything in this Paragraph (ii) to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reductions in
the Conversion Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by
this Paragraph (ii), as and to the extent that it in its sole discretion shall
determine to be advisable in order that any consolidation or subdivision of the
Common Stock, issuance wholly for cash of any Common Stock at less than the
Closing Price on the record date, issuance wholly for cash of Common Stock or
securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock, dividends on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or issuance of rights,
options or warrants referred to hereinabove in Subsection (b), hereafter made
by the Corporation to holders of shares of Common Stock shall not be taxable to
such stockholders.
(h) If as a result of adjustment made pursuant to
Subsection (a), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock thereafter
converted shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the
Corporation other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares
so receivable upon conversion of any share of Preferred Stock shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in
Subsections (a) through (c), inclusive.
(iii) No fractional shares of Common Stock and other capital
stock or securities, if any, or scrip representing fractional shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock or securities, if any, shall be issued upon the
conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If the
conversion of a share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock results in a
fraction, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of
the Common Stock and other capital stock or securities, if any, on the Trading
Day prior to the conversion shall be paid to such holder in cash by the
Corporation. The "Closing Price" for other capital stock or securities shall
be determined in the same manner and with the same effect as the "Closing
Price" for the Common Stock as defined in Subsection E(i).
(iv) The right of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to convert their shares shall be exercised by surrendering for such
purpose to the Corporation or its agent, as provided above, certificates
representing shares to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by
proper instruments of transfer. The Corporation shall not, however, be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery upon conversion of shares of Common Stock or
other capital stock or securities or property in a name other than that of the
registered holder of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being
converted, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any
such shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or securities or property
unless and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall
have paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid
or that no such tax is due.
(v) A number of shares of the authorized but unissued Common
Stock sufficient to provide for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding upon the basis herein provided shall at all times be reserved by
the Corporation, free from preemptive rights, for such conversion, subject to
the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph. If the Corporation shall
issue any securities or make any change in its capital structure which would
change the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Series
A Preferred Stock shall be convertible as herein provided, the Corporation
shall at the same time also make proper provision so that thereafter there
shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved,
free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Series A
Preferred Stock on the new basis.
(vi) In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation or a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing
corporation and its capital stock is unchanged), or in case of any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or in
the case of any share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock are converted into other capital stock or securities or
property, the Corporation shall make appropriate provision or cause appropriate
provision to be made so that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert each such share of
Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock
and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock or securities, if any, into which each such share
of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. If in connection with
any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, each holder
of shares of Common Stock is entitled to elect to receive alternative forms of
consideration upon completion of such transaction, the Corporation shall
provide or cause to be provided to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon
conversion thereof the shares of capital stock or other securities or property
receivable by a holder of Common Stock who failed to make an election with
respect to the form of consideration receivable in such consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange. The Corporation shall not effect any such
transaction unless the provisions of this paragraph have been complied with.
The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(vii) Upon the surrender of certificates representing shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, the person converting shall be deemed to be the
holder of record at such time of the shares of Common Stock issuable on such
conversion and all rights with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock surrendered shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the
shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or securities or property as
herein provided. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph (ii), no adjustment
in the Conversion Price shall be made at the time of conversion in respect of
distributions or dividends therefore declared and paid or payable on the Common
Stock.
G. Voting Rights.
(i) The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not
have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to
time required by law. If, on the date used to determine stockholders of record
for any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which directors are to be
elected, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and on any other class or
series of Parity Dividend Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to at
least six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive), the number of
members of the Board of Directors shall be increased by two as of the date of
such meeting and the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (voting
separately as a class with the holders of all other affected classes or series
of the Parity Dividend Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred
and are exercisable) shall be entitled to vote for and elect such two
additional directors of the Board. The right of the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock to vote for such two additional directors shall terminate when
all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been
declared and paid or set apart for payment. The term of office of the
directors so elected shall terminate immediately upon the termination of the
right of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity
Dividend Stock to vote for such two additional directors. In connection with
such right to vote, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have
one vote for each share held.
(ii) Without the consent or affirmative vote of the holders of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
voting separately as a class with all other affected series of capital stock
ranking on a parity either as to dividends or upon liquidation with the Series
A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not authorize, create or issue, or
increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking
prior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation.
Without the consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority
of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a
class with all other affected series of capital stock ranking on a parity
either as to dividends or upon liquidation with the Series A Preferred Stock,
the Corporation shall not increase the authorized amount of any class or series
of capital stock ranking on a parity either as to dividends or upon liquidation
with the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no such consent or
vote will be required for the issuance of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity
with such series from the authorized but unissued Preferred Stock. No consent
or vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be required to authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized
amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series A
Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation.
(iii) The affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at
least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a class with all other series of capital stock ranking on a
parity either as to dividends or upon liquidation with the Series A Preferred
Stock, shall be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, of the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, if the amendment, alteration or
repeal alters or changes the powers, preferences or special rights of the
Series A Preferred Stock and any such series so as to affect them materially
and adversely; provided, however, that in any case in which one or more, but
not all, such series would be adversely affected as to the powers, preferences
or special rights thereof, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of all such series that would be adversely
affected, voting as a class, shall be required, and the holders of shares of
any series that would not be adversely affected shall not be entitled to vote
thereon.
Section 5. At the effective time of the amendment to Article IV, Section
1 of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Corporation to
issue shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, each share of Common
Stock, par value $5 per share, of the Corporation issued and outstanding or
held in the treasury of the Corporation immediately prior to such effective
time, shall be changed into and reclassified as one share of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share. To reflect such change and reclassification, each
certificate representing shares of Common Stock, par value $5 per share,
theretofore issued and outstanding or held in the treasury of the Corporation
shall, from and after such effective time, represent a like number of shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share.

any affirmative vote required by law or this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, and except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2 of this
Article V:
(i) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) with (a) any Interested Stockholder (as
hereinafter defined) or (b) any other corporation (whether or not itself an
Interested Stockholder) which is, or after such merger or consolidation would
be, an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of an Interested Stockholder; or
(ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or
other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) to or with
any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder of
any assets of the Corporation or any Subsidiary having an aggregate Fair Market
Value of $50,000,000 or more; or
(iii) the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or any
Subsidiary (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of any securities

other property (or a combination thereof) having an aggregate Fair Market Value
of $50,000,000 or more; or
(iv) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation
or dissolution of the Corporation proposed by or on behalf of an Interested
Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder; or
(v) any reclassification of securities (including any reverse
stock split), or recapitalization of the Corporation, or any merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with any of its Subsidiaries or any other
transaction (whether or not with or into or otherwise involving an Interested
Stockholder) which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the
proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class or equity or
convertible securities of the Corporation or any Subsidiary which is directly
or indirectly owned by any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any
Interested Stockholder;
shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting
power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Stock"),
voting together as a single class (it being understood that for purposes of
this Article V, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes
granted to it pursuant to Article IV of this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation). Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the
fact that no vote may be required, or that a lesser percentage may be
specified, by law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or
otherwise.
B. Definition of "Business Combination". The term "Business
Combination" as used in this Article V shall mean any transaction which is
referred to in any one or more of clauses (i) through (v) of Paragraph A of
this Section I.
Section 2. When Higher Vote is Not Required. The provisions of Section 1
of this Article V shall not be applicable to any particular Business
Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative
vote as is required by law and any other provisions of this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, if all of the conditions specified in either the
following Paragraphs A and B are met:
A. Approval by Disinterested Directors. The Business Combination
shall have been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors (as
hereinafter defined).
B. Price and Procedure Requirements. All of the following
conditions shall have been met:
(i) The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value
(as hereinafter defined) as of the date of the consummation of the Business
Combination of consideration other than cash to be received per share by
holders of Common Stock in such Business Combination shall be at least equal to
the higher of the following:
(a) (if applicable) the highest per share price (including
any brokerage commission, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid by
the Interested Stockholder for any shares of Common Stock (or for any shares of
common stock of Burroughs Corporation, a Michigan corporation, the predecessor
to the Corporation) acquired by it (1) within the two-year period immediately
prior to the first public announcement of the proposal of the Business
Combination (the "Announcement Date") or (2) in the transaction in which it
became an Interested Stockholder, whichever is higher; and
(b) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock (or
for any shares of common stock of Burroughs Corporation, a Michigan
corporation, the predecessor of the Corporation) on the Announcement Date or on
the date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder
(such latter date is referred to in this Article V as the "Determination
Date"), whichever is higher.
(ii) The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value
as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination of consideration
other than cash to be received per share by holders of shares of any other
class of outstanding Voting Stock shall be at least equal to the highest of the
following (it being intended that the requirements of this paragraph B(ii)
shall be required to be met with respect to every class of outstanding Voting
Stock, whether or not the Interested Stockholder has previously acquired any
shares of a particular class of Voting Stock):
(a) (if applicable) the highest per share price (including
any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid by
the Interested Stockholder for any shares of such class of Voting Stock
acquired by it (1) within the two-year period immediately prior to the
Announcement Date or (2) in the transaction in which it became an Interested
Stockholder, whichever is higher;
(b) (if applicable) the highest preferential amount per
share to which the holders of shares of such class of Voting Stock are entitled
in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation; and
(c) the Fair Market Value per share of such class of
Voting Stock on the Announcement Date or on the Determination Date, whichever
is higher.
(iii) The consideration to be received by holders of a
particular class of outstanding Voting Stock (including Common Stock) shall be
in cash or in the same form as the Interested Stockholder has previously paid
for shares of such class of Voting Stock. If the Interested Stockholder has
paid for shares of any class of Voting Stock with varying forms of
consideration, the form of consideration for such class of Voting Stock shall
be either cash or the form used to acquire the largest number of shares of such
class of Voting Stock previously acquired by it.
(iv) After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested
Stockholder and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination: (a)
except as approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors, there shall
have been no failure to declare and pay at the regular date therefor any full
quarterly dividends (whether or not cumulative) on the outstanding Preferred
Stock; (b) there shall have been (1) no reduction in the annual rate of
dividends paid on the Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any
subdivision of the Common Stock), except as approved by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors, and (2) an increase in such annual rate of dividends
as necessary to reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock
split), recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction which has
the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock,
unless the failure so to increase such annual rate is approved by a majority of
the Disinterested Directors; and (c) such Interested Stockholder shall have not
become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock except as
part of the transaction which results in such Interested Stockholder becoming
an Interested Stockholder.
(v) After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested
Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder shall not have received the benefit,
directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits
or other tax advantages provided by the Corporation, whether in anticipation of
or in connection with such Business Combination or otherwise.
(vi) A proxy or information statement describing the proposed
Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any
subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall be mailed
to public stockholders of the Corporation at least 30 days prior to the
consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or
information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or
subsequent provisions).

agreement, arrangement or understanding; or

any other person with which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates
has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, voting or disposing of any shares of Voting Stock.
D. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an Interested
Stockholder pursuant to Paragraph B of this Section 3, the number of shares of
Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed owned through
application of Paragraph C of this Section 3, but shall not include any other
shares of Voting Stock which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants
or options, or otherwise.

ARTICLE VI
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 1. Number. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed under the direction of the Board of Directors which, subject to any
right of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding to elect
additional directors under specified circumstances, shall consist of not less
than 10 nor more than 20 persons. The exact number of directors within the
minimum and maximum limitations specified in the preceding sentence shall be
fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution
adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
Section 2. Terms. The directors other than those who may be elected by
the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common
Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, shall be divided into three classes,
as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of office of the first
class to expire at the 1985 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the term of office
of the second class to expire at the 1986 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and
the term of office of the third class to expire at the 1987 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders following such initial

created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of
directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death,
resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause
shall be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, and
directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders at which the term of the class to which they have been elected
expires. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
Section 5. Removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series
of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire Board of
Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of
all of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE VII
STOCKHOLDER ACTION
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the
Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in
writing by such stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject
to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a
preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, special
meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of
Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board
of Directors.
ARTICLE VIII
BYLAW AMENDMENTS
The Board of Directors shall have power to make, alter, amend and repeal
the Bylaws of the Corporation (except so far as the Bylaws of the Corporation
adopted by the stockholders shall otherwise provide). Any Bylaws made by the
Directors under the powers conferred hereby may be altered, amended or repealed
by the Directors or by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
anything contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws
to the contrary, Sections 2 and 3 of Article I and Sections 1 through 5 of
Article II of the Bylaws shall not be altered, amended or repealed and no
provision inconsistent therewith shall be adopted without the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all the shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting
together as a single class.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS TO
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser
percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws of the Corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% or more
of the voting power of the shares of the then outstanding voting stock of the
Corporation, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or
repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, Articles V, VI, VII, VIII or
this Article IX of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
ARTICLE X
Section 1. Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A director of
the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any 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) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 2. Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer,
of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or
agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee
or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered
by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue
as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators;
provided, however, that, except as provided in Paragraph (b) hereof, the
Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall
be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law
requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his
or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in
which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer,
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance
of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to
the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or
otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide
indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope
and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
(b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Paragraph (a)
of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after
a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any
time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount
of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a
defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of
conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law
for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the
burden of providing such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the
failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in
the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption
that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or

Mr. James A. Unruh
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Unisys Corporation
P. O. Box 500
Blue Bell, PA 19424
Dear Jim:
You are presently employed by Unisys Corporation (the "Corporation") as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer under the terms of a letter
agreement dated August 10, 1994 (as amended on July 28, 1995), and an
Employment Agreement dated July 28, 1995. This letter agreement (the
"Agreement") supersedes and replaces the letter agreement dated August 10, 1994
(as amended on July 28, 1995), and the Employment Agreement dated July 28,
1995, and describes the terms and conditions of your employment with the
Corporation on and after the date hereof until April 30, 1998 (the "Term").
The provisions of this Agreement are as follows:
1. Base Salary. You shall continue to serve, at the pleasure of the Board
of Directors, as Chief Executive Officer and/or Chairman of the Board of
the Corporation at a base salary at the annual rate of not less than
$836,000 per year.
2. Annual Bonus. You shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus award
at a target bonus level of not less than 100% of your base salary. If
your employment is terminated by the Corporation without cause or upon
your serving as an employee of the Corporation from the date hereof
until completion of the Term, you will be eligible to receive a pro rata
bonus for the year in which your employment is terminated based on the
percentage of the year you were employed by the Corporation. The actual
annual or pro rata bonus paid to you, if any, shall be determined by the
Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee") in its sole discretion and shall be based on such factors
as it deems appropriate. Your actual annual or pro rata bonus payments,
if any, shall be made in cash at the time of the award, subject to your
election to defer receipt of all or any portion of the bonus award in
accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers
of Unisys Corporation (or any successor deferred compensation program).
3. Benefit Programs. During your employment hereunder, you shall
participate in the retirement, welfare, fringe, and perquisite programs
generally made available to executive officers of the Corporation and at
such benefit levels customarily provided to the Chief Executive Officer
and/or Chairman of the Board of the Corporation.
4. Service on Other Boards. During the term of your employment hereunder,
you shall render your full-time attention to the business affairs of the
Corporation. You may serve on the board of directors of other companies
as expressly approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in
its discretion. However, so long as you serve as Chief Executive
Officer of the Corporation, you agree not to actively seek other
employment.
5. Death or Disability. In the event of your disability or death prior to
the date of the termination of your employment hereunder, all future
compensation under this Agreement (other than those amounts and benefits
described in the following sentence) shall terminate. You and your
estate shall receive (a) an annual bonus award for the year in which you
terminate employment in an amount equal to a pro rata portion, based on
the period of service rendered, of the bonus amount paid in the previous
year, (b) benefits under the retirement, welfare, incentive, fringe and
perquisite programs generally available to executive officers upon
disability or death and (c) any deferred account balance under the
Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers of Unisys Corporation (or any
successor deferred compensation program) in accordance with the terms of
such plan. For purposes of this Agreement, disability means a mental or
physical injury or illness which renders you incapable of substantially
performing your duties hereunder. The determination of whether you are
disabled for purposes of this Section 5, and when you became disabled,
shall be made by a medical doctor jointly selected by the Committee and
you or your representative, and such determination shall be final and
binding on all parties.
6. Termination of Employment.
(a) Your employment may be terminated by the Company at any
time with or without cause. In the event that you are terminated for
"cause" (as defined below) or you terminate your employment, no further
amounts shall be paid to you hereunder except as otherwise provided
under the normal terms of the retirement, welfare, incentive, fringe,
and perquisite programs in which you participated at your date of
termination.
(b) Upon termination by the Corporation without cause or upon
your serving as an employee of the Corporation from the date hereof
until completion of the Term, you shall be entitled to the following:
(1) Base salary through the completion of the Term to the
extent not theretofore paid, plus such bonus as may be
determined as provided in Section 2 hereof.
(2) Termination payments for a period of 24 months
following completion of the Term in the amount determined as
follows:
(A) For purposes of this Section 6(b), termination
payments for the first 12 months following completion of
the Term shall consist of base salary (at its then
current rate on the date of termination) and annual bonus
(in an amount equal to 50% of your target bonus, times
your base salary both as in effect at your date of
termination).
(B) For purposes of this Section 6(b), termination
payments for the 13th to the 24th month following the
completion of the Term shall consist of base salary (at
its then current rate on the date of termination) and
annual bonus (in an amount equal to 50% of your target
bonus, times your base salary both as in effect at your
date of termination).
(C) The amount of base salary and annual bonus
payable to you for the 13th month to the 24th month
following the completion of the Term shall be reduced by
the amount of cash compensation, if any, earned by you
during such period for services rendered to any other
entity as an employee, independent contractor,
consultant, officer, director, or in any other capacity,
provided, however, that compensation earned by you for
service as a director of any corporation shall not cause
such a reduction to the extent such compensation is based
on the same fee structure as is received by all other
directors thereof for Board service.
Such termination payments shall be paid in the same manner and
at the same times as the salary and annual bonus due hereunder
during employment.
(3) For a period ending on the earlier of (A) 24 months
following your date of termination, or (B) your becoming
eligible for medical, dental or life insurance from another
employer, continued participation, at the same costs applicable
to active employees in the Unisys medical, dental and life
insurance plans (or, if such participation is prohibited by
applicable law or the terms of the plans, participation in
arrangements that will provide benefits substantially similar to
those available under the Unisys medical, dental and life
insurance plans) for you and your eligible dependents, subject,
however, to the generally applicable terms of such plans.
(4) Following the period of participation in active
employee benefits under Section 6(b)(3) hereof, you shall be
entitled to receive the post-retirement medical and post-
retirement life insurance coverage generally available to other
retired executive officers;
(5) Full vesting in all stock options, restricted stock
and other awards made under the Corporation's Long-Term
Incentive Plans (or under any successor incentive plan thereto),
effective as of the end of the Term; for purposes of stock

the applicable Long-Term Incentive Plans (or any successor
incentive plan thereto), you shall be treated as if you had
retired on your normal retirement date as of your date of
termination;
(6) Extension of the repayment period on any corporate
interest-free home mortgage loan until the first to occur of the
following: (i) the fifth anniversary of your date of
termination; (ii) the date on which your home is sold; or (iii)
the date on which your home is leased, unless such action has
been approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall mean
intentional dishonesty or gross neglect of your duties.
(d) You shall not be entitled to receive payments under the
Corporation's Income Assistance Plan or any successor severance or
income assistance plan generally applicable to employees of the
Corporation.
(e) For a period beginning on the first day of the month
following your date of termination and ending on the earlier of (A) 24
months following such date, or (B) the date you commence employment with
another employer, the Corporation will reimburse you for office and
secretarial expenses incurred by you in an amount not to exceed $4,167

(f) The payments provided for in this Section 6 are being
extended to you to provide you with reasonable severance compensation in
connection with your retirement from active service with the
Corporation and in recognition of your service to the Corporation as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and not to any degree
whatsoever in contemplation of a change of control of the Corporation.
7. Conduct Following Termination of Employment.
(a) During the 24 month period following your date of
termination, you hereby agree that you will not:
(1) without the prior written approval of the
Committee, become engaged or employed as a business owner,
employee or consultant in any activity which is in competition
with any line of business of the Corporation existing as of your
date of termination;
(2) directly or indirectly (including through someone
else acting on your recommendation, suggestion, identification
or advice) solicit any existing employee of the Corporation to
leave the employ of the Corporation;
(3) use or disclose to anyone any confidential
information regarding the Corporation; or
(4) negatively comment, publicly or privately, about
the Corporation (or its subsidiaries or affiliates), any of its
products, services or other businesses, its present or past
Board of Directors, its officers or employees.
(b) Upon completion of the Term or, if earlier, on your date
of termination, you hereby agree that you will thereafter:
(1) resign, upon request, as a director and officer of
the Corporation and any subsidiaries or affiliates of the
Corporation;
(2) make yourself available upon request to provide
accurate information or testimony or both in connection with any
legal matter affecting the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, subject to reasonable accommodation
of your schedule and reimbursement of reasonable expenses (which
shall include the reasonable expenses of counsel retained by you
in connection therewith); and
(3) promptly advise the Senior Vice President - Human
Resources of the Corporation of any facts which could cause a
reduction in the amounts payable to you or the benefits received
by you pursuant to Sections 6(b)(2)(C) or 6(b)(3) hereof.
In the event you breach any term of Section 7(a), the Corporation may
cancel or terminate all benefits and payments remaining to be made to
you or on your behalf under Section 6(b) hereof, invoke applicable
provisions of the Corporation's Elected Officer Pension Plan, and obtain
any injunctive relief to which it may be entitled.
If you do not breach any term of Section 7(a) during the 24 month
period following your date of termination, the Corporation agrees that
it will not thereafter invoke against you the provisions of Section
6.04(a) of the Corporation's Elected Officer Pension Plan.
8. Change of Control.
(a) If a Change of Control shall occur during the Term and
prior to your date of termination, and the Corporation shall thereafter

for cause, death or disability:
(1) the Corporation shall pay to you in a lump sum in
cash within 30 days after your date of termination the aggregate
of the following amounts:
(A) the sum of (i) your base salary through
the completion of the Term to the extent not
theretofore paid, (ii) a bonus pro-rated for the

retirement plan (the "Retirement Plan")
(utilizing actuarial assumptions no less
favorable to you than those in effect under the
Company's Retirement Plan immediately prior to
your date of termination), and any excess or
supplemental retirement plan in which you
participate (the "SERP") which you would receive
if your employment continued through the
completion of the Term, assuming that your
compensation is that required by Section 1 and
Section 2 hereof, over (ii) the actuarial

payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan and
the SERP as of your date of termination.
(b) For the purpose of this Section 8, a "Change of Control"

substantially all of the Corporation's assets either
directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
immediately prior to such Business Combination of the
Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and Outstanding
Corporation Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no
Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such

be reviewed periodically, but no less frequently than annually, by the
Compensation and Organization Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of
Directors or its successor.
2. Annual Bonus. (a) You will participate in the Executive Variable
Compensation ("EVC") Plan (or any successor bonus plan) and your target
will not be less than 100% of your annual paid salary. The actual EVC
paid to you, if any, will be determined by the Committee in its sole

Your actual EVC payments, if any, will be made in cash at the time of the
award, subject to your election to defer receipt of all or any portion of
the EVC award in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation
Plan for Officers of Unisys Corporation (or any successor deferred
compensation program).
(b) For the 1997 EVC award year you will be guaranteed a minimum EVC
payout equal to 100% of the base salary amounts paid to you in 1997,
provided that you continue to be employed by the Corporation through the
1997 EVC payout date. For the 1998 and 1999 EVC award years, you will be
guaranteed a minimum EVC payout equal to 100% of the base salary paid to

two years, 75% (of the original grant) after three years and 100% (of the

portion of the restricted share grant upon your termination of employment
or in the event that you do not continue to own a number of unrestricted
shares of Unisys common stock equal to the "Purchased Shares" (as defined
in Section 4). You agree that you will not sell the shares that become
unrestricted as a result of the vesting of the restricted share grant
made under this Section 3(c) before the earlier of (i) six months
following the date on which the shares become unrestricted or (ii) your
termination of employment, provided that such sale is in compliance with
applicable law.
(d) In each year in which you recognize income as a result of the
total or partial vesting of the restricted share grant made under Section
3(c), you will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Section 3
Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by you of all
federal, state and local taxes, including any income taxes imposed upon
the Section 3 Gross-Up Payment, you retain an amount of the Section 3
Gross-Up Payment equal to the federal, state and local taxes imposed on
the income, including the Section 3 Gross-Up Payment, so recognized in

7. Supplemental Pension.

7 or more $1,000,000
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time prior to
the second anniversary of your first day of employment (i) you are
terminated for "cause" (as defined in Section 10(c)) or (ii) you
terminate your employment for other than "good reason" (as defined in
Section 10(c)), you will forfeit the benefit accrued under the schedule
above, and you will not be entitled to receive any benefit under the
Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan.
(b) If you die prior to commencement of your benefit under Section 7,
your spouse will be entitled to a life annuity under this Section 7 equal
to 50% of the pension to which you would have been entitled (less any
amounts due alternate payees under any qualified domestic relations
orders) assuming you had retired and had been receiving retirement
payments at the time of your death based on your credited service to that
date. Such survivor's benefit shall be offset by any other survivor's
pension benefit provided to your spouse under any other Unisys pension
plan.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, your pension
benefit shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan as in effect on the date of this
Agreement, provided, however, that (i) service on the board of directors
of other companies will not cause a suspension or forfeiture of benefits
under Section 6.04 of the Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan; (ii)
service as an employee of or consultant to an entity a unit of which is
in competition with Unisys will not cause a suspension or forfeiture of
benefits under Section 6.04 of the Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan,
provided that it can be demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Committee that procedures are in place to assure that the unit that
is in competition with Unisys and any director, officer, employee,
consultant or other representative of such unit cannot directly or
indirectly avail itself of your services, (iii) service as an employee of
or consultant to an entity that provides consulting services to other
entities, one or more of which are in competition with Unisys, will not
cause a suspension or forfeiture of benefits under Section 6.04 of the
Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan, provided that it can be demonstrated
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Committee that procedures are in
place to assure that no entity that is in competition with Unisys nor any
director, officer, employee, consultant or other representative of such
unit can directly or indirectly avail itself of your services, (iv)
"cause" in Section 6.04(b) shall be deemed to be defined as provided in
this Agreement; and (v) no activity in which you engage while employed
under this Agreement which you have undertaken in the good faith belief
that it is in the best interests, or that it is not opposed to the best
interests of Unisys, shall be deemed the basis for suspending or
forfeiting your benefits under Section 6.04 of the Unisys Elected Officer
Pension Plan.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any provision of this
Agreement is inconsistent with any term of the Unisys Elected Officer
Pension Plan, including without limitation Section 6.04, the terms of
this Agreement shall prevail, and if such plan is terminated, it shall be
deemed to continue for purposes of providing the benefit in this Section
7.

hereunder, you will render substantially all of your business time to the
business affairs of the Corporation. You may serve on the board of
directors of other companies and non-profit organizations as expressly
approved by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

due to your becoming "disabled", you or your estate will be entitled to
the following:
(a) All restrictions on any outstanding restricted stock grant will
immediately lapse;
(b) An EVC award for the year in which you terminate employment in an
amount equal to a pro rata portion, based on the period of service
rendered in such year, of (i) the EVC amount paid for the previous
year or (ii) the guaranteed EVC described in Section 2(b) if
termination occurs in 1997 or 1998;
(c) Any benefits available under the retirement, welfare, incentive,
fringe benefit, deferred compensation and perquisite programs
generally available to executive officers upon disability or
death; and
(d) Any benefits available under Section 7, provided, however, that if
your termination is due to disability, you will continue to accrue
service for purposes of calculating your benefit under Section 7
until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which your
disability ends or (ii) the date on which you commence receipt of
benefits under the Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan.
You will be considered "disabled" if you meet the requirements for a
long-term disability under the terms of the Unisys Long-Term Disability
Plan, regardless of whether you participate in such plan. The
determination of whether you are disabled shall be made by the claims
administrator of the Unisys Long-Term Disability Plan in accordance with
the procedures generally applicable under such plan. If you become
disabled, you will be entitled to the benefits described in this Section
9 and not those described in Section 10.
10. Termination of Employment. (a) Your employment may be terminated
by the Corporation at any time with or without cause. In the event that
you are terminated for "cause" (as defined below) or you terminate your
employment for other than "good reason" (as defined below), no further
amounts will be paid to you hereunder except as otherwise provided under
Section 7 of this Agreement and under the normal terms of the retirement,
welfare, incentive, fringe, and perquisite programs in which you
participated at your date of termination.
(b) Upon termination by the Corporation without cause or your
termination for good reason, you will be entitled to the following:
(1) An amount equal to 100% of the base salary (at its then current
rate on the date of termination) payable for the remaining term of
employment hereunder as if you had continued to work through such
remaining term of employment, but in no event less than one year's base
salary. Such termination payments will be paid in the same manner and at
the same times as the base salary payments would have been paid during
employment and the period during which such payments are to be made will
be referred to as the "Salary Continuation Period";
(2) If termination of employment occurs prior to the EVC payout date
for the previous EVC award year, an EVC payment for such previous award
year in an amount determined under Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable
and notwithstanding your termination of employment prior to the EVC
payout date. Such payment will be made at the same time that such EVC
payment would have been made had you continued to be employed;
(3) An EVC payment for the year in which such termination occurs in an
amount equal to your target EVC percentage as of your date of termination
or, if such termination occurs in 1997 or 1998, 100% times the base
salary paid to you in the year in which you terminated through your
termination date. Such payment will be made promptly following your
termination of employment;
(4) An annual EVC award payable for the one-year period following your
termination of employment in an amount equal to your target EVC
percentage as of your date of termination times the payments made to you
under Section 10(b)(1) during such one-year period. Such payment will be
made promptly following the expiration of the one-year period;
(5) Continued participation, at the same costs applicable to active
employees, through the Salary Continuation Period, in the Unisys Medical
and Dental Plans (or, if such participation is prohibited by applicable
law or the terms of the plans, participation in arrangements that will
provide benefits substantially similar to those available under the
Unisys Medical and Dental Plans) for you and your eligible dependents,
subject, however, to the generally applicable terms of such plans;
(6) Immediate and full vesting in all stock options, restricted share
and other awards made under the 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan (or under
any successor incentive plan thereto); for purposes of stock option, SAR
and other equity-based award exercise rights under the 1990 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (or any successor incentive plan thereto), you will be
treated as if you had retired on your normal retirement date as of your
date of termination; and
(7) Your benefit under the Unisys Elected Officer Pension Plan, as
modified under Section 7 of this Agreement, will be calculated as if you
had continued to be employed for one year following your date of
termination.
(c) For purposes of this Section 10, "cause" means (i) your gross
neglect of your duties or (ii) your commission of an act which the Board
of Directors determines in good faith constitutes fraud, theft or
dishonesty against the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, or (iii) your commission of a felony or a crime of moral
turpitude. "Good reason" means (i) a reduction in your aggregate
compensation target (base salary plus EVC target), as such amounts may be
increased during the term of this Agreement or a material reduction of
any employee benefit enjoyed by you, unless such reduction is due to a
reduction in compensation or benefits generally applicable to executive
officers or (ii) a reduction in your duties or authority, a change in
reporting structure such that you report to someone other than the Board
of Directors, or your removal as Chairman of the Board, President or
Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or its successor unless such
reduction, change or removal is (x) for cause, as defined above, (y) is
done with your written consent, or (z) is on account of your inability to
substantially perform your duties for an aggregate of 90 days within any
consecutive 12 month period due to your becoming "disabled" (within the
meaning of the Unisys Long-Term Disability Plan, regardless of whether
you participate in such plan and provided that such determination will be
made by the claims administrator of the Unisys Long-Term Disability Plan
after the 90-day period described in this Section 10(c)(ii)(2)), and
provided that your resignation occurs within 90 days after such
reduction, change or removal or (iii) the failure of the Corporation to
obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation to perform this
Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of
the Corporation within 15 days after the effective date of a merger,
consolidation, sale or similar transaction, unless you consent to the
Corporation's not obtaining such assumption. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if there is a reduction in your duties or authority, a change
in your reporting structure and/or you have been removed as Chairman,
President and/or Chief Executive Officer as a result of becoming disabled
under this Section 10(c)(ii)(2), but you do not qualify for long-term
disability benefits under the Unisys Long-Term Disability Plan
(regardless of whether you participate in such plan) after the six-month
period required in the Plan, then you shall be entitled to terminate your
employment for "good reason" provided that you make yourself available to
return to work promptly after the determination is made that you are not
"disabled" and further provided that upon your return to work, the
Corporation does not restore the duties, authority, and/or reporting
structure that were in place before you became disabled under this
Section 10(c)(ii)(2) and does not restore your position as Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.
(d) The amounts payable to you under Section 10(b)(1) following your
termination of employment will be reduced by the amount of cash
compensation, if any, earned by you for services rendered to any other
entity as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, officer,
director, or in any other capacity, provided however, that (i) no such
reduction will be applied during the two-year period following your
termination of employment, and (ii) compensation earned by you for
service as a director of any corporation will not cause such a reduction
to the extent such compensation is based on the same fee structure as is
received by all other directors thereof for Board service. You will
promptly advise the Senior Vice President - Human Resources of the
Corporation of any facts that could cause such a reduction in the amounts
payable to you under Section 10(b)(1). Upon written notice from the
Corporation, you will promptly reimburse to the Corporation any
overpayments made to you as a result of your receipt of the cash
compensation described in the first sentence of this Section 10(d),
provided that the amount you are required to reimburse shall be on an
after-tax basis (that is the amount determined, after taking into account
any taxes incurred by you on such overpayment less the tax benefit, if
any, you may derive from repayment to the Corporation). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, you shall have no obligation to seek
other employment.
(e) At the time the parties enter into this Agreement, you and the
Corporation will enter into an Executive Employment Agreement. Payments
under this Agreement are not intended to duplicate payments under any
other Unisys agreement or severance program, including, without
limitation, your Executive Employment Agreement. To the extent that you
may be entitled to receive duplicate payments under this and any other
Unisys agreement or program, the provisions of that agreement or program
which is most favorable to you or provides you with the greater benefit
shall be effective.
11. Certain Additional Payments by the Corporation. (a) Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be
determined that any payment or distribution by the Corporation to or for
your benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined
without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 11)
(a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by you with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
then you shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up
Payment") in an amount such that after payment by you of all federal,
state and local taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes
(and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise
Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, you retain an amount of the Gross-
Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments, including
the Gross-up Payment.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 11(c), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 11, including whether and when a
Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and
the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall
be made by Ernst & Young (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide
detailed supporting calculations both to the Corporation and you within
15 business days of the receipt of notice from you that there has been a
Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Corporation. In the
event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for
the individual, entity or group effecting the change of control which has
caused Section 4999 of the Code to be applicable, you shall appoint
another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations
required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as
the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting
Firm shall be borne solely by the Corporation. Any Gross-Up Payment, net
of any taxes (including income and excise taxes) required to be withheld,
as determined pursuant to this Section 11, shall be paid by the
Corporation to you within five days of the receipt of the Accounting
Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise
Tax is payable by you, it shall furnish you with a written opinion that
failure to report the Excise Tax on your applicable federal income tax
return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar
penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon
the Corporation and you. As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that
Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Corporation should
have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Corporation
exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 11(c) and you thereafter are
required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Corporation to or for your
benefit.
(c) You shall notify the Corporation in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment
by the Corporation of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be
given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after
you are informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the
Corporation of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim
is requested to be paid. You shall not pay such claim prior to the
expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the IRS gives
such notice to the Corporation (or such shorter period ending on the date
that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
Corporation notifies you in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, you shall:
(i) give the Corporation any information reasonably requested by the
Corporation relating to such claim,
(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with
respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the
Corporation,
(iii) cooperate with the Corporation in good faith in order
effectively to contest such claim, and
(iv) permit the Corporation to participate in any proceedings relating
to such claim;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall bear and pay directly all
costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred
in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold you
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax
(including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a
result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses including
without limitation, reasonable legal fees. Without limitation on the
foregoing provisions of this Section 11(c), the Corporation shall control
all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole
option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in
respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct you to
pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
permissible manner, and you agree to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Corporation
shall determine; provided, however, that if the Corporation directs you
to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Corporation shall advance the
amount of such payment to you, on an interest-free basis and shall
indemnify and hold you harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise
Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto)
imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed
income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any
extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for
your taxable year with respect to which such contested amount is claimed
to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the
Corporation's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and you
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other
issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority.
(d) If, after the receipt by you of an amount advanced by the
Corporation pursuant to Section 11(c), you become entitled to receive any
refund with respect to such claim, you shall (subject to the
Corporation's complying with the requirements of Section 11(c)) promptly
pay to the Corporation the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If,
after the receipt by you of an amount advanced by the Corporation
pursuant to Section 11(c), a determination is made that you shall not be
entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Corporation
does not notify you in writing of its intent to contest such denial of
refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then
such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and
the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the
amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
12. Conduct after Termination. From and after the termination of your
employment for any reason:
(a) For a period equal to the greater of three years or the Salary
Continuation Period, you shall not engage in or become employed as a
business owner, employee, agent, representative or consultant in any
activity which is in competition with any line of business of Unisys (or
its subsidiaries or affiliates) existing as of your termination date,
except with the express prior written consent of the Committee, provided,
however, you shall be deemed not to be in competition for purposes of
Section 12 of this Agreement, (i) if you are an employee of or a
consultant to an entity a unit of which is in competition with Unisys,
provided that it can be demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Committee that procedures are in place to assure that any unit that
is in competition with Unisys and any director, officer, employee,
consultant or other representative of such unit cannot directly or
indirectly avail itself or themselves of your services, (ii) if you are
an employee of or a consultant to an entity that provides consulting
services to other entities, one or more of which are in competition with
Unisys, provided that it can be demonstrated to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Committee that procedures are in place to assure that
no entity that is in competition with Unisys nor any director, officer,
employee, consultant or other representative of such unit can directly or
indirectly avail itself or themselves of your services, or (iii) if you
invest in securities which are listed for trading on a national exchange
or NASDAQ and your investment does not exceed 1% of the issued and
outstanding shares of stock;
(b) You shall not negatively comment publicly or privately about
Unisys (or its subsidiaries or affiliates), any of its products, services
or other businesses, its present or past Board of Directors, its
officers, or employees, nor shall you in any way discuss the
circumstances of your termination of employment, except that you may give
truthful testimony before a court or governmental agency;
(c) For a period of two years, you shall not induce or attempt to
induce any employee of Unisys (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates)
to render services for any other person, firm or business entity;
(d) You shall not use, furnish or divulge to any other person, firm or
business entity any confidential information relating to Unisys business
(or that of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), or any trade secrets,
processes, contracts or arrangements involved in any such business,
except when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental
agency having supervisory authority over the business of Unisys or by any
administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with
apparent jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make
accessible such information.
From and after the termination of your employment for any reason, Unisys
agrees not to negatively comment publicly or privately about you or the
circumstances of your termination of employment. You and Unisys mutually
agree that the obligations contained in this Section 12 are reasonable
and necessary for each party's mutual protection and that one party
cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at
law in the event that the other party breaches such obligations. You and
Unisys expressly agree that, in addition to any other rights or remedies
which each may possess, each shall be entitled to injunctive and other
equitable relief to prevent a breach of this Section 12 by the other
party, including a temporary restraining order or temporary injunction
from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining any threatened or
actual violation, and you and Unisys each consents to the entry of such
an order and injunctive relief and waives the making of a bond as a
condition for obtaining such relief. Such right shall be cumulative in
addition to any other legal or equitable rights and remedies the parties
may have. In addition, in the event that you should materially breach
your obligations under Section 12(b) or you should breach any other
obligation described in this Section 12, Unisys shall have the right to
terminate any remaining payments due under Section 10(b)(1) and (4).
13. Term; Extension of Term. The term of this Agreement is five years
commencing on September 23, 1997. On September 23, 2002 and on each
succeeding September 23, the term of employment hereunder shall be
extended by one additional year unless the Corporation provides to you or
you provide to the Corporation, at least six months prior to the
expiration of the then remaining term of the Agreement, written notice
that the term will not be further extended, in which case the term of
employment hereunder will end at the expiration of the then remaining
term of employment hereunder, including any previous extension, and will
not be further extended except by agreement of the Corporation and you.
14. Plan Documents; Code of Ethical Conduct. Each of the above-
described benefits which are more fully described in an applicable Unisys
plan document are subject to the terms of such plan document (as may be
amended by Unisys from time to time) and, except as expressly provided in
this agreement, each such plan document will govern the benefit payable
hereunder and thereunder. In addition, you agree that the Unisys
policies and procedures applicable to all Unisys employees, including,
without limitation, the Unisys Code of Ethical Conduct, shall be
applicable to you.
15. Successors. This agreement shall be binding upon Unisys and its
successors and assigns.
16. Indemnification. You will be entitled to the indemnification rights
contained in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Unisys
Corporation, dated July 25, 1997, as such may be amended from time to
time. Unisys agrees to maintain directors and officers liability
insurance covering you to the extent that Unisys provides such coverage
for its other directors and officers.
17. Miscellaneous. Except for your Executive Employment Agreement of
even date, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you
and Unisys relating to your employment and additional matters provided
for herein. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether
written or oral, between you and Unisys relating to your employment and
additional matters provided for herein. No provision of this agreement
may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or
discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and the Chairman of
the Committee or his designee. The validity, interpretation,
construction and performance of this agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to the
provisions thereof relating to conflicts of laws.
18. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision of this agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
19. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this agreement shall be settled exclusively by
arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration award will be
final and conclusive upon the parties, and a judgment enforcing such
award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Costs of
arbitration shall be borne by Unisys. Unless the arbitrator determines
that you did not have a reasonable basis for asserting your position with
respect to the dispute in question, Unisys shall also reimburse you for
your reasonable attorneys' fees incurred with respect to any arbitration.
20. Corporate Authority. Unisys represents and warrants that it is
fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement. This
Agreement has been authorized by the Board and approved by the Committee.
If the foregoing sets forth our agreement with you, please sign and
return to us the enclosed copy of this Agreement.
Very truly yours,
