HARRIS CORPORATION
2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(AS OF JUNE 30, 2007)

1.  Performance Share Award – Terms and Conditions . Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “ Plan ”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “ Terms and Conditions ”), Harris Corporation (the “ Corporation ”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “ Employee ”) a Performance Share Award (the “ Award ”) of such number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Corporation as set forth in the Award Letter (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee (such shares, as may be adjusted in accordance with Sections 1(c), 1(d) and 1(e) of these Terms and Conditions, the “ Performance Shares ”). Such Award is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter to the Employee specifying the number of shares subject to the Award and the Performance Period and certain other terms (the “ Award Letter ”) and the Statement of Performance Goals (as defined below) related thereto, are referred to as the “ Agreement ”).

(a)  Performance Period . For purposes of the Agreement, the “ Performance Period ” shall be the Performance Period set forth and designated as such in the Award Letter.

(b)  Release of Award . Provided the Award has not previously been forfeited, as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Performance Period and the satisfaction of the applicable tax withholding obligations, the Corporation shall at its option, cause the Performance Shares as to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto: (i) to be released without restriction on transfer by delivery to the custody of the Employee of a stock certificate registered in the name of the Employee or his or her designee or (ii) to be credited without restriction on transfer to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or his or her designee maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee.

(c) Satisfaction of Performance Objectives .

(i) The Performance Shares are granted to the Employee subject to the prohibitions on transfer set forth in Section 4 below, which shall lapse, if at all, based upon attainment during the Performance Period of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals delivered to the Employee at the time of the Award (the “ Statement of Performance Goals ”).

(ii) The number of Performance Shares actually earned shall be contingent upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the performance objectives set forth in the Statement of Performance Goals. The number of Performance Shares actually earned shall be determined upon the expiration of the Performance Period in accordance with the Statement of Performance Goals. The final determination of the number of Performance Shares actually earned and to be released without restriction on transfer will be authorized by the Harris Board of Directors, the Board Committee, or its designee. Performance Shares will be forfeited (A) if they are not earned at the end of the Performance Period or (B) except as otherwise provided herein, if the Employee ceases to be employed by the Corporation at any time prior to the expiration of the Performance Period.

(iii) If employment is commenced after July 15th of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period (such commencement date is referred to as the “ Start Date ”), the final payout to be made to the Employee determined in accordance with the prior provisions of this Section 1(c) shall be reduced by 1/36th for each month between July 1 of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period and the Start Date. Only a Start Date prior to the 15th of a month shall be deemed employment for a full month. Other than with respect to the final payout, the pro-ration pursuant to this Section will not otherwise impact the Award (e.g., the Employee will have full voting rights and will be entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments and other distributions with respect to all Award shares).

(d)  Rights During Performance Period . During the Performance Period, the Employee may exercise full voting rights with respect to all Performance Shares subject to the Award and shall be entitled to receive cash dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Performance Shares. If any such dividend or distribution is paid in securities of the Corporation (including additional shares of Common Stock), such securities shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the Performance Shares in respect of which such dividend or distribution was made. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Performance Shares subject to this Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the expiration of the Performance Period, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.

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

2.  Forfeiture; Termination of Employment . Except in the event of a Change of Control covered in Section 5 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Letter, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Performance Period:

(a) for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) permanent disability, (iii) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or (iv) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, all Performance Shares subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment; or

(b) due to (i) death, (ii) permanent disability, (iii) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or (iv) involuntary termination of employment by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, the Employee shall be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares which would have been issued to the Employee under the Award at the end of the Performance Period determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c) hereof, and the remaining Performance Shares subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited. Such pro-rata portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of full months of the Performance Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the denominator is the number of full months of the Performance Period. For purposes of this Section 2, only employment for 15 days or more of a month shall be deemed employ
