Proxy Statement

for

2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

to be held on October 27, 2006

link1 "General Information About the Meeting"

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

Why am I receiving this

proxy statement?

We are furnishing this proxy statement to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the Board) of Harris Corporation (which we refer to as Harris, we, our or us) for use at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 27, 2006, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

On September 18, 2006, we commenced mailing and made available electronically to our shareholders: (1) this proxy statement, (2) the accompanying proxy card and voting instructions, and (3) a copy of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the shares you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy, the document in which you make that designation is also called a proxy.

What is a proxy statement?

This document is a proxy statement. It is a document that we are required by law to give you when we ask you to name a proxy to vote your shares. We encourage you to read this proxy statement carefully.

What is the purpose of the meeting?

The purpose of the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is to obtain shareholder action on the matters outlined in the notice of meeting included with this proxy statement. These matters include: the election of four directors for three-year terms expiring at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the ratification of the appointment by our Audit Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2007. This proxy statement provides you with detailed information about each of these matters.

What is a record date and

who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

The record date for the shareholders entitled to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting is September 1, 2006. The record date was established by the Board as required by Delaware law. Owners of record of shares of Harris common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of the 2006 Annual Meeting and to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. You may vote all shares that you owned on the record date.

How many shares can be voted and

what is a quorum?

You are entitled to one vote for each share of Harris common stock that you own as of the close of business on September 1, 2006. Only our common stock has voting rights. On the record date, there were 134,214,960 shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting and approximately 7,119 holders of record.

A quorum is the minimum number of shares that must be represented in person or by proxy in order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting. The attendance by proxy or in person of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting, or 67,107,481 shares of common stock based on the record date of September 1, 2006, will constitute a quorum to hold the Annual Meeting. If you grant your proxy

1 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

over the Internet, by telephone or by proxy card, your shares will be considered part of the quorum.

What different methods can I

use to vote?

You have a choice of voting:

By telephone;

Over the Internet;

By mail; or

In person at the Annual Meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you may vote by telephone, over the Internet or by mail. Please carefully read the instructions below on how to vote your shares. Because the instructions vary depending on how you hold your shares and the method you use to vote, it is important that you follow the instructions that apply to your particular situation.

If you vote over the Internet or by telephone, you should not return your proxy card.

What is the difference between

a record owner and an owner

holding shares in street name?

If your shares are registered in your name, you are a record holder. You will be a record holder if you hold a stock certificate or if you have an account with our transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services LLC. If your shares are registered or held in the name of your broker or bank or other nominee, your shares are held in street name and you are considered the beneficial owner of such shares.

How do I vote if my shares are

held in my name?

Voting by telephone

Voting by telephone is simple and fast. Call the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card and voting instruction form and listen for further directions. To respond to the questions, you must have a touch-tone phone and need to have your proxy/voting instruction card in hand. The telephone voting system allows you to verify that the system has properly recorded your vote. This vote will be counted immediately, and there is no need to send in your proxy card.

Voting over the Internet

Voting over the Internet is also easy and fast. Read your proxy/voting instruction card and follow the directions. As with telephone voting, you will be able to confirm that the system has properly recorded your vote. This vote will be counted immediately, and there is no need to send in your proxy card.

Voting by mail

If you are a shareholder of record, you can save Harris expense by voting by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you can vote by mail by completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid return envelope provided.

Voting in person at the meeting

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you can vote in person. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will need to bring with you to the Annual Meeting proper personal identification and evidence of your share ownership.

How do I vote if my shares are

held in street name?

Voting by mail or telephone or over the Internet

If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, and you should vote your shares using the method directed by your broker, bank or other nominee. A large number of banks and brokerage firms are participating in online voting programs. These programs provide eligible street name shareholders the opportunity to vote over the Internet or by telephone. Voting forms will provide instructions for shareholders whose banks or brokerage firms are participating in such programs.

Voting in person at the meeting

If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee and if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to obtain a brokers proxy and bring it, together with proper personal identification and your account statement or other evidence of your share ownership, with you to the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?

As long as your shares are registered in your name, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting. There are several ways you can do this:

| | By filing a written notice of revocation with our Corporate
Secretary at Harris Corporation, 1025 West NASA Boulevard,
Melbourne, Florida 32919; |
| --- | --- |
| | By duly signing and delivering a proxy that bears a later date; |
| | By subsequently voting by telephone or over the Internet as
described above; or |
| | By attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. |

If your shares are held in street name, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke your proxy or change your vote.

What are my voting choices and

what is the required vote?

By giving us your proxy, you authorize Harris management to vote your shares at the 2006 Annual Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof in the manner you indicate.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

With respect to the proposal to elect four nominees for director, you may:

| | Vote for the election of all four of the nominees
for director named in this proxy statement; |
| --- | --- |
| | Withhold authority to vote for all four of the
nominees; or |
| | Withhold authority to vote for one or more of the
nominees and vote for the remaining nominee or
nominees. |

Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes, which means that the four nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected to serve as directors even if those nominees do not receive a majority of the votes cast. Non-voted shares and shares for which votes are withheld will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2: Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accountants

With respect to the proposal to ratify the appointment by our Audit Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2007, you may:

	Vote for ratification;
	Vote against ratification; or
	Abstain from voting on the proposal.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal will be required to ratify our Audit Committees appointment of independent registered public accountants. Abstaining from voting on this matter will have the effect of a vote against ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountants.

What is the Harris Boards voting recommendation?

The Harris Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares FOR the election of all four of its nominees for director and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Harris independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2007.

How do I vote shares held in

the Harris 401(k) Retirement Plan?

If you are a participant in the Harris 401(k) Retirement Plan (401(k) Plan) and you own shares of Harris common stock through the 401(k) Plan, the proxy and instruction card sent to you also will serve as a voting instruction card to the trustee of the 401(k) Plan for all shares of our common stock you own through the 401(k) Plan. If you do not provide voting instructions for such shares, as directed by the terms of the 401(k) Plan, those shares will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion as the shares for which other participants have timely provided voting instructions.

How do I vote shares held in the Harris Dividend Reinvestment Plan?

If you are a participant in the Harris Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) administered

3 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

by Mellon Bank, N.A., your proxy card covers the Harris common stock held in your DRIP account. Mellon Bank, N.A., as the DRIP administrator, is the shareholder of record of our common stock owned through the DRIP and will not vote those shares unless you provide it with instructions, which you may do over the Internet, by telephone or by mail using your proxy card.

What happens if I return an

unmarked proxy card?

If you return your proxy card with no votes marked, your shares will be voted as follows:

| | FOR the election of all four of the nominees for director
named in this proxy statement; and |
| --- | --- |
| | FOR the ratification of the appointment by our Audit
Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent
registered public accountants for fiscal year 2007. |

With respect to other matters that may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in the discretion of the proxy holders.

How are broker non-votes counted?

It is possible for a proxy to indicate that some of the shares represented are not being voted with respect to certain proposals. This occurs, for example, when a broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretion under the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules to vote on a matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and has not received such instructions. In these cases, non-voted shares will not be considered present and entitled to vote with respect to that matter, although they may be considered present and entitled to vote for other purposes and will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. Accordingly, if a quorum is present at the meeting, non-voted shares concerning a particular proposal will not affect the outcome of that proposal. Under the current NYSE rules, brokers have discretionary voting power to vote without receiving voting instructions from the owner on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include, among other things, the election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of independent registered public accountants. This means that if you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, and do not provide voting instructions by the tenth day before the Annual Meeting, the broker, bank or other nominee has the discretion to vote your shares.

What does it mean if I receive more

than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means you own shares in multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is Mellon Investor Services LLC, which may be reached by telephone at 1-888-261-6777 or over the Internet at www.melloninvestor.com.

Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?

We actively solicit proxy participation. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparation, assembly, printing and mailing. In addition to this proxy statement, we request and encourage brokers, custodians, nominees and others to supply proxy materials to shareholders, and, upon request, we will reimburse them for their expenses. Our officers and employees may, by letter, telephone, electronic mail or in person, make additional requests for the return of proxies, although we do not reimburse our own employees for soliciting proxies. We have also hired Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc., for a fee of $8,000 plus reimbursement of out-of -pocket expenses, to help solicit proxies. We will also reimburse brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our shareholders in accordance with the fee schedule approved by the NYSE.

May I access this years proxy statement and annual report over the Internet?

This proxy statement and our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, are available by accessing the Investor Relations section of our website, at www.harris.com/investor-relations.html.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS TERMS EXPIRING IN 2009

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board of Directors shall consist of not less than eight or more than thirteen directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The authorized number of directors is presently fixed at eleven. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation also classifies our Board of Directors into three classes of approximately equal size with three-year terms of office ending in different years.

This year, the terms of Ms. Kenne and Messrs. Growcock, Rickard and Swienton expire at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Based upon the recommendation of our Corporate Governance Committee, Ms. Kenne and Messrs. Growcock, Rickard and Swienton have each been nominated by the Board for a new three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2009. The current terms of our other directors will expire at subsequent Annual Meetings of Shareholders in 2007 or 2008, as the case may be. In accordance with our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a director holds office until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for the year in which that directors term expires, and until that directors successor is elected and qualified, subject, however, to his or her prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Vacancies may be filled by the remaining directors.

Proxies will be voted in favor of electing each of Ms. Kenne and Messrs. Growcock, Rickard and Swienton to serve for a three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2009, unless otherwise specified in the proxy card or Internet or telephone voting instructions. Each of the nominees has consented to stand for election. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election, proxies voting for that nominee may be voted for a substitute nominee selected by our Board or, in lieu thereof, our Board may reduce the number of directors.

None of our directors, including each of the nominees, is related to any other director, or to any executive officer of Harris or its subsidiaries, by blood, marriage or adoption.

Biographical summaries of the nominees and of our continuing directors appear on subsequent pages, and data with respect to the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them as of July 21, 2006 are set forth in the table on page 19.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chairman and officers, by reviewing materials provided to them or requested by them, by visiting our offices and plants and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

Corporate Governance Principles

Our Board of Directors has long been focused on and committed to responsible and effective corporate governance. Our Board of Directors has previously adopted Corporate Governance Principles which trace their history to 1960 and which have evolved and been revised over time. Our Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Corporate Governance Principles and reporting and making recommendations to our Board concerning corporate governance matters. Our Corporate Governance Principles address matters including board composition, director independence, selection of Board nominees, Board membership criteria, director compensation, mandatory retirement, meetings, executive sessions of non-management directors, evaluation of the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, committees, succession planning, director responsibilities, orientation and continuing education, and self-evaluation of the Board and Board committees. A copy of our Corporate Governance Principles is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement and is also available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.harris.com/harris/cg/ .

Director Independence

The NYSE listing standards and our Corporate Governance Principles require us to have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors. Our Board of Directors has, and has had for many years, a substantial majority of independent directors. Our Board has adopted Director Independence Standards to assist in the evaluation of the independence of each of our directors. A copy of our Director Independence Standards is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement and is also available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.harris.com/harris/cg/ . Based upon the NYSE listing standards and our Director Independence Standards, our Board has affirmatively determined in its business judgement that all of our directors (including each nominee for election), with the exception of Mr. Lance, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, are independent and have no material relationship with Harris other than as a director. The Board based these determinations primarily on a review of the responses of the directors to questions regarding each directors commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and family relationships, and discussions with the directors and nominees.

Meetings and Attendance

General. In fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors held six regular meetings and two special meetings, and the standing committees of our Board met a total of twenty times. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of those committees of which he or she was a member except Ms. Katen. All of the directors attended an average of 93% of such meetings of the Board and committees on which they serve.

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Shareholders. We typically schedule a Board meeting in conjunction with our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In the absence of unavoidable conflict, all Board members are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Nine of our eleven members of the Board of Directors, then in office, attended the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The remaining two members were unable to attend because of the impact of a hurricane.

Executive Sessions of Outside Directors

Our Board and its committees meet throughout the year on a set schedule and also hold special meetings and may act by written consent from time to time as appropriate. Board agendas for scheduled meetings also include regularly scheduled executive sessions of non-management directors. Our Board of Directors has implemented a system to annually rotate the Board member who chairs these executive sessions of non-management directors among the

chairpersons of each of our standing committees, in alphabetical order by committee name (Audit, Business Conduct and Corporate Responsibility, Corporate Governance, etc.).

INFORMATION

Director Retirement

It is our policy that a director will retire from our Board effective at the end of the month in which he or she reaches age 72. In the event that a directors 72nd birthday falls within twelve months of the Annual Meeting at which such director would stand for re-election, such director shall not stand for re-election. A director is also expected to automatically tender his or her resignation in the event of retirement or other significant change in status from the employment position held when last elected or appointed to our Board, and our Board will then determine whether such directors continued Board membership is in the best interest of Harris and our shareholders, free from conflict of interests and is otherwise appropriate.

Communications with Members of our

Board of Directors

General. Shareholders and other interested persons wishing to communicate directly with our Board may do so by sending an e-mail message to the Board member then presiding over the meetings of our non-management directors referred to as our Presiding Independent Director at [email protected]. Communications sent by e-mail will go simultaneously to the Presiding Independent Director and also to our Corporate Secretary. Shareholders and others may also write to the Presiding Independent Director, c/o Corporate Secretary, Harris Corporation, 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919. Our Corporate Secretary will review any such written communications and if they are related to the duties and responsibilities of our Board and its committees, they will be forwarded to the Presiding Independent Director. Our Corporate Secretary will periodically provide the Board a summary of all written communications received that were not forwarded because they were unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate and will make them available to our Board upon request. Advertisements, solicitations or spam and other similar communications will not be forwarded to the directors. The Presiding Independent Director will determine whether communications should be sent to our full Board or a committee.

Accounting, Internal Control or Auditing Matters. Our Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment

of complaints regarding questionable accounting, internal control or auditing matters.

Upon receipt of a complaint or concern, a determination will be made whether it pertains to accounting, internal control or auditing matters and if it does, it will be handled in accordance with the procedures established by the Audit Committee.

link2 "Standards of Business Conduct"

Standards of Business Conduct

All Harris employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and other senior financial officers, are required to abide by the Harris Standards of Business Conduct, originally adopted in 1987, to help ensure that our business is conducted in a consistently ethical and legal manner. All directors are required to abide by our Directors Standards of Business Conduct. These standards of business conduct form the foundation of a comprehensive business conduct program that includes compliance with all laws, corporate policies and procedures, an open relationship among employees that contributes to good business conduct, and an abiding belief that we should conduct all business dealings with integrity, honesty and responsibility. Our business conduct policies cover many topics, including employment issues, confidentiality, environmental, health and safety, insider trading, corporate opportunities, antitrust, export control, boycotts, government contracts, international business practices, entertainment and gifts, and use of company assets. Employees are required to report any conduct they believe in good faith to be a violation of any of our business policies.

Our Standards of Business Conduct and our Directors Standards of Business Conduct are posted on our website at www.harris.com/business-conduct and are also available free of charge by written request to our Director of Business Conduct, Harris Corporation, 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919. Any amendment to, or waiver from, our Standards of Business Conduct will be posted on our website within four business days following such amendment or waiver.

link2 "Director Nomination Process"

Director Nomination Process

Our Board is responsible for approving nominees to stand for election as directors. The Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in this process and identifies individuals it believes to be qualified to become Board members and recommends nominees.

It is a long-standing policy of our Board to consider director nominees submitted by shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a nominee for the Corporate Governance Committees consideration must include at least the following information about the proposed nominee: the proposed nominees name, age, business or residence address, principal occupation or employment, and the written consent of the nominee to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected. The required information should be sent to our Corporate Secretary at 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919. The Corporate Secretary will forward properly submitted shareholder-proposed nominations to the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee for consideration at a future Corporate Governance Committee meeting. Individuals proposed by shareholders in accordance with these procedures will be evaluated and considered by the Corporate Governance Committee in the same manner as it evaluates other proposed nominees.

In addition to proposing nominees for consideration to the Corporate Governance Committee, shareholders may also directly propose nominees for consideration at an annual meeting or special meeting of our shareholders. The requirements and procedures to be followed by shareholders for directly nominating directors are discussed below under Shareholder Proposals for the 2007 Annual Meeting. The Corporate Governance Committee also has a process for considering, reviewing and evaluating incumbent directors up for re-election. Pursuant to this process, within six months of the annual meeting of shareholders at which an individual directors term will expire, such director meets with the Chairman and also with the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee to discuss participation on our Board and its committees and

14 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

other relevant matters. In addition, the Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors attendance records, any changes in employment status and other information it deems helpful in considering and evaluating the director for nomination.

Our Corporate Governance Principles contain Board membership criteria that apply to nominees for a position on our Board. The Board, based upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee (which recommendation will be based on the criteria set forth below, regardless of whether the nominee is identified by the Corporate Governance Committee, by shareholders or otherwise), will select new nominees considering the following criteria:

| | Demonstrated ability and sound judgment that usually will be
based on broad experience; |
| --- | --- |
| | Personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and
reputation in the business community, professional integrity,
educational background, business experience and related
experience; |
| | Willingness to objectively appraise management performance; |
| | Giving due consideration to potential conflicts of interest,
current knowledge and contacts in the communities in which we do
business and in our industry or other industries relevant to our
businesses; |
| | Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and
committee matters, including attendance at Board, committee and
annual shareholder meetings; |
| | Fit of the individuals skills and personality with those
of other directors and potential directors in building a Board
that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of
Harris and the interests of our shareholders; and |
| | Diversity of viewpoints, background and experience. |

Our Corporate Governance Committee has from time to time retained a third-party search firm to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.

link1 "Director Compensation and Benefits"

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The form and amount of director compensation is reviewed and assessed from time to time by the Corporate Governance Committee with changes, if any, recommended to the Board for action. Director compensation may take the form of cash, equity and other benefits ordinarily available to directors.

Directors who are not employees of Harris currently receive the following fees, as applicable, for their services on our Board:

	$55,000 basic annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis;
	$10,000 annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis, for
service as Chairperson of the Audit Committee;
	$5,000 annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis, for
service as the Chairperson of each standing committee of our
Board other than the Audit Committee;
	$2,000 attendance fee for each meeting or telephonic meeting of
our Board; and
	$2,000 attendance fee for each meeting or telephonic meeting of
each standing committee of our Board and for attendance at any
other event for or on behalf of Harris.

We reimburse each non-employee director for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings and other meetings on behalf of Harris and for the costs and expenses of attending director education programs. Spouses or guests are invited occasionally to accompany directors to Board-related events, for which Harris pays or reimburses travel and related expenses. In addition, we provide each non-employee director with accident, death and disability insurance in the amount of up to $200,000 and business travel insurance of up to an additional $200,000 in the event that he or she is involved in an accident while traveling on business relating to our affairs.

Non-employee directors may participate in our gift matching program available to all employees, where we match contributions to eligible educational institutions and charitable organizations up to an annual maximum of $10,000 per director.

Employee directors are not compensated for service as a director.

Stock Options

In December 2004, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, our Board adopted an amendment to the Harris Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan) to eliminate the automatic grant of options to purchase shares of Harris common stock upon a non-employee directors initial election or appointment to the Board and to eliminate the automatic annual grant of options to non-employee directors on the date of each of our annual meetings of shareholders. The options previously granted to non-employee directors under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan are non-qualified options for tax purposes, were priced at fair market value on the date of grant and become exercisable as follows:

| | 50% of the option becomes exercisable on the first anniversary
of the date of grant; and |
| --- | --- |
| | 25% of the option becomes exercisable on each of the next two
succeeding anniversary dates. |

Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a change in control of Harris, any non-employee directors options outstanding for more than one year at that time immediately become exercisable in full. Such options continue to vest and may be exercised following retirement. In addition, such options fully vest upon a non-employee directors death and are exercisable by his or her representative only within the twelve-month period following the date of death. In any event, all options granted to non-employee directors expire no more than ten years after the date of grant.

Deferred Compensation

Under the Harris Corporation 2005 Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended (the 2005 Directors Plan), on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year, Harris credits each non-employee directors account with a number of Harris stock equivalent units having a fair market value equal to $24,000 (for an annual rate of $96,000), which amount may be changed from time to time by our Board. In addition, under the 2005 Directors Plan, prior to the commencement of a calendar year, each non-employee director may make an irrevocable election to defer all or a portion of his or her cash compensation for the subsequent year or years. Amounts deferred at the election of a non-employee director may be invested in investment alternatives similar to those available under the 401(k) Plan or in Harris stock equivalent units based upon the fair market value of Harris common stock on the date of deferral. Such Harris stock equivalent units are equivalent in value to our shares of common stock. A non-employee director may not transfer or reallocate amounts deferred into other investments into Harris stock equivalent units. Amounts credited in Harris stock equivalent units may be reallocated into any other investment alternatives provided director minimum stock ownership guidelines are satisfied. Deferred amounts and investment earnings on such amounts are payable in cash following the non-employee directors resignation, retirement or death. Each Harris stock equivalent unit is credited with dividend equivalents, which are deemed reinvested in additional Harris stock equivalent units on the dividend payment date.

A non-employee director may elect to receive amounts deferred under the 2005 Directors Plan, including amounts deferred in the form of Harris stock equivalent units, either in a cash lump sum on a date certain within five years after his or her resignation or retirement or in annual substantially equal cash installments over a designated number of years beginning on a date certain within five years after a directors resignation or retirement, provided that all amounts are fully paid within ten years after resignation or retirement.

Within 90 days of a change of control (as defined in the 2005 Directors Plan), and to the extent permitted by the regulations adopted under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, each non-employee director (or former non-employee director) will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the then-remaining balance in his or her account.

The 2005 Directors Plan replaced the 1997 Directors Deferred Compensation and Annual Stock Unit Award Plan (the 1997 Directors Plan). Effective December 31, 2004 no further deferrals of director compensation were permitted and no further annual awards will be made under the 1997 Directors Plan. Amounts deferred under the 1997 Directors Plan prior to December 31, 2004 are invested in investment alternatives similar to those available under our 401(k) Plan or in Harris stock units, pursuant to which a non-

16 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

employee directors account is credited with a number of units of Harris stock equivalents. Amounts deferred into other investments may not be transferred or reallocated into Harris stock equivalent units. Amounts credited in Harris stock equivalents can be reallocated into other investment alternatives provided director minimum stock ownership guidelines are satisfied. Each such stock unit is credited with dividend equivalents, which are deemed reinvested in additional Harris stock units on the dividend payment date. A non-employee director may elect to receive amounts previously deferred under the 1997 Directors Plan, including amounts deferred in the form of Harris stock units, either in a lump sum cash payment on a date certain within five years of his or her resignation or retirement or in annual cash payments over a designated number of years, provided that all amounts are fully paid within ten years of resignation or retirement. Within 90 days following a change of control, each non-employee director (or former non-employee director) will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the then remaining balance in his or her account under the 1997 Directors Plan.

OUR LARGEST SHAREHOLDERS

The rules of the SEC require disclosure regarding any persons known to us to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock. The following table sets forth as of July 21, 2006 the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each person who has reported to the SEC beneficially owning more than five percent of our common stock, based on the reports filed by these persons.

Name and Address of	Amount and — Nature of	Percent

FMR Corp.	12,328,264	(1)	9.22%	(1)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109

(1) Beneficial and percentage ownership information is based on information contained in Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on February 14, 2006 by FMR Corp. on behalf of itself and affiliated persons and entities. The schedule contains the following information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock: (a) Fidelity Management & Research Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., beneficially owned 11,776,000 shares (for which Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR Corp. had sole dispositive power) as a result of its acting as investment advisor to various investment companies; (b) Fidelity Management Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., beneficially owned 203,600 shares (for which Mr. Johnson and FMR Corp. each had sole dispositive power over 203,600 shares and sole voting power over 118,000 shares) as a result of its serving as investment manager of institutional accounts; (c) Strategic Advisors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., which provides investment advisory services to individuals, beneficially owned 264 shares; and (d) Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a separate corporate entity from FMR Corp., beneficially owned 348,400 shares. Members of Mr. Johnsons family are the predominant owners of Class B shares of FMR Corp. representing 49% of the voting power of FMR Corp. and all Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. As such, members of Mr. Johnsons family may be deemed to be members of a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp. A partnership controlled predominantly by members of Mr. Johnsons family and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, own approximately 38% of the voting power of FIL. FMR Corp. and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a group and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to one another the beneficial ownership of our common stock. However, FMR Corp. filed Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13G on February 14, 2006 on a voluntary basis as if all of the shares were beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and FIL on a joint basis.

The role of the Audit Committee is, among other things, to assist our Board of Directors in its oversight of:

	The integrity of the financial statements of Harris;
	Harris compliance with applicable legal and regulatory
requirements;

Our Board of Directors has determined that, in its business judgment, all members of the Audit Committee are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules of the SEC and our Director Independence Standards.

Management of Harris is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of Harris financial statements and the effectiveness of Harris system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Management and the internal auditing department are responsible for maintaining and evaluating appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.

The Audit Committee discussed with the internal auditors and E&Y the overall scope of and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee also met with E&Y, the head of Internal Audit, the Principal Accounting Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the evaluations of Harris internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of Harris financial reporting. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that Harris consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has:

internal control over financial reporting, including a review of
managements and E&Ys assessments of reports on
the effectiveness of Harris internal control over
financial reporting and any significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses; |

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND RELATED INFORMATION

link1 "Report of the Management Development and Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation"

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following Report of the Management Development and Compensation Committee does not constitute soliciting material and the Report should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other previous or future filings by Harris under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that Harris specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

The Management Development and Compensation Committee, which consists solely of independent, non-employee directors, sets the executive compensation philosophy, objectives and policies for Harris. On an annual basis, the Committee also approves the compensation, perquisites and other benefits for our executive officers under salary, incentive and other plans authorized by our Board of Directors and/or shareholders. In addition, the Management Development and Compensation Committee annually approves, together with all independent directors, the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. The Management Development and Compensation Committee meets at scheduled times during the year and more often as appropriate and also holds regular executive sessions with only members present. The Management Development and Compensation Committee Chairperson reports on Committee actions and recommendations at Board meetings.

Compensation Philosophy

Our key compensation goals are to provide a total compensation package composed of cash, equity and benefits that will attract, retain and develop exceptional executives, enable these individuals to achieve our strategic and financial goals, reward superior performance and align the interests of our executives with our shareholders. To achieve these objectives, we believe that the Harris executive compensation program should:

| | Closely link compensation to an individuals performance
and our financial results and operational and strategic
objectives; |
| --- | --- |
| | Align the interests of our executives and shareholders by
emphasizing both the short-term and long-term performance
objectives and strategic focus of our businesses; |
| | Be competitive with the compensation of other leading employers
with whom we compete for executive talent; |

21 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

	Facilitate management stock ownership; and
	Enable us to attract and retain a world-class management team.

This compensation philosophy applies to all of our management employees, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Prior to setting compensation for the following year, the Management Development and Compensation Committee typically conducts a review of our executive compensation program, including an analysis of, and extensive discussion regarding, all components of compensation for our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. We conduct this review in an effort to ensure that our executive compensation policies and programs remain appropriate with respect to evolving business needs, best compensation practices and leading corporate governance principles. The Management Development and Compensation Committee uses independent compensation consultants to develop information and ranges for the components and overall compensation level for our Chief Executive Officer. Our current practice is to target direct compensation levels for our executives at the 50th percentile in the competitive marketplace for similar positions, assuming experience in the position and competent performance. Total direct compensation includes base pay, annual bonuses, and long-term equity value. Performance is measured against factors such as long and short term strategic goals and financial measures, including earnings per share, revenue, orders, operating income and return on invested capital.

Our executive compensation program has two major components:

| | An annual cash component, consisting of a base salary and an
incentive bonus based on the financial performance for the
fiscal year of Harris, and/or the applicable business unit,
which in the case of officers, may be adjusted for individual
performance; and |
| --- | --- |
| | A long-term equity incentive component, consisting of
(1) stock options, (2) performance shares with payouts
based upon meeting performance targets over a three-year period,
and (3) restricted shares. |

We utilize a structured approach for evaluating executive performance and determining executive annual cash compensation by reference to external industry surveys of compensation of executives in similar positions, individual performance and experience in the position, and scope of responsibility. Payouts for annual cash incentive awards are based upon the degree to which an executive achieves the applicable operating results established at the start of our fiscal year and may be adjusted for individual performance for the year. Similarly, long-term compensation in the form of performance share awards is based upon the degree to which an executive attains performance results established at the start of the performance period. The payout for the three-year performance period ended June 30, 2006 was based upon actual earnings per share and return on invested capital compared with the applicable targets for such three-year performance period. The measures were weighted evenly. The Management Development and Compensation Committee may also adjust the performance share payout for Harris earnings per share and return on invested capital performance compared with Standard and Poors 500 and Midcap 400 Indices performance over the performance period.

Annual Cash Compensation

Annual cash compensation consists of a fixed base salary and an opportunity for a variable cash performance incentive. Base salaries and planned cash incentive compensation targets for senior executives, other than the Chief Executive Officer, are recommended annually by the Chief Executive Officer and then reviewed and approved by the Management Development and Compensation Committee.

The Harris Corporation 2005 Annual Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting, provides for payment to executives of a specified cash amount (not to exceed 200% of the target amount) based upon the percentage achievement of specific performance objectives, including such measures as earnings per share, operating income and revenue growth. The financial objectives and criteria are established at the start of each fiscal year. For fiscal 2006, annual incentive payments for senior executives were based upon earnings per share, operating income and/or revenue targets

22 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

and in certain instances were adjusted for individual performance compared to pre-established quantitative and qualitative objectives.

The percentage of an executives annual cash compensation attributable to the incentive bonus generally increases with his or her level of management responsibility. For the Named Executive Officers target cash incentive compensation ranged from 38% to 50% of total annual cash compensation for fiscal 2006.

Long-Term Compensation

The Harris equity incentive plans are intended to align executive and shareholder interests. The plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards:

| | Performance shares, or units, conditioned upon meeting specified
performance criteria; |
| --- | --- |
| | Restricted stock or units; |
| | Stock options; |
| | Stock appreciation rights, independent of or in tandem with
stock options; and |
| | Other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or
otherwise based on, our common stock. |

The Management Development and Compensation Committee believes that, through the use of equity incentives, the interests of our executives are directly aligned with the objective of enhancing shareholder value.

With respect to performance share awards, at the beginning of an award cycle the Management Development and Compensation Committee determines the applicable performance criteria. The performance share award and option grants for senior executives, other than the Chief Executive Officer, are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and then reviewed and approved by the Management Development and Compensation Committee. The Management Development and Compensation Committee grants each participant a specified number of performance shares at the start of the relevant period and establishes a means for computing the number of performance shares that can be earned during the period. Payouts for the three-year period ended June 30, 2006 were 150% of the performance share award granted at the start of the period. Performance shares are subject to forfeiture if the performance goals are not attained or if a participants employment is terminated for certain reasons before the performance period has ended.

Stock options are an important element of our long-term compensation and are granted at fair market value as of the date of grant, typically vest over three years, and have a term of not greater than ten years. Stock options granted during fiscal 2006 have a term of seven years. Stock options provide realizable value only when the price of our common stock is greater than the option exercise price. In addition to stock options and performance shares or units, awards of restricted shares or units are made on a selective basis to individual executives as part of hiring packages or for retention. These restricted shares or units vest over or at the end of a restricted period of two to five years.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executives

To further promote ownership of shares by management and to more closely align management and shareholder interests, the Management Development and Compensation Committee previously approved stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers. Executives are expected to own Harris stock having a minimum value, denominated as a multiple of their annual base salaries, as follows: four times for the Chief Executive Officer; two times for other executive officers; and equal to one years annual base salary for other designated officers. Unexercised options and unearned performance shares or units do not count for purposes of measuring compliance with the ownership guidelines. The value of unvested restricted shares is included in measuring compliance. The recommended time period for reaching the guidelines is three years. Executives within three years of normal retirement are no longer subject to the guidelines. An annual review is conducted to assess compliance with the guidelines. As of September 1, 2006, all executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, met their applicable minimum ownership guidelines, or were on track to achieve their minimum ownership guidelines within the applicable compliance timeframe.

Section 162(m) Deductibility

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Named Executive Officers. Certain compensation is specifically exempt from the deduction limit to the extent it is performance based as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. The Management Development and Compensation Committee considers the net cost to Harris, and its ability to effectively administer executive compensation in the long-term interest of shareholders. Accordingly, stock option grants and performance share awards made to executive officers under our equity incentive plans and payments under the Annual Incentive Plan are structured to be fully deductible under Section 162(m). However, in the future, our Board or the Management Development and Compensation Committee may determine, in light of all applicable circumstances, that it would be in our best interests for compensation to be paid under those plans or otherwise in a manner that may not qualify as performance-based under Section 162(m).

Retirement Plans

We maintain the 401(k) Plan, which is a tax-qualified, defined contribution retirement plan available to most of our domestic employees. Subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code limits, employees may generally contribute from 1% to 12% of eligible compensation and we will make a matching contribution of up to 6% of eligible compensation. The 401(k) Plan also includes a profit sharing component. To the extent contributions to our 401(k) Plan are limited by Internal Revenue Code limits, certain of our executives are also eligible to contribute to our non-qualified, supplemental executive retirement plan. In addition to employee contributions, matching and profit sharing components, we may also grant special awards to participants under our supplemental executive retirement plan. Amounts deferred under the supplemental executive retirement plan may be fully or partially funded by a rabbi trust, but the assets in such trust are subject to the claims of our creditors and participants in our supplemental plan are treated as our unsecured general creditors.

Other Benefits

Harris overall compensation program for elected corporate officers also includes other types of perquisites. Types of benefits available to elected corporate officers include reimbursement of the costs of tax preparation and financial planning services of up to $5,000 (or $10,000, in the case of Mr. Lance) per year, reimbursement of the costs of estate planning services of up to $5,000 (or $10,000, in the case of Mr. Lance) every three years and reimbursement of the costs of membership in an approved social or country club. In addition, employees, including executives, are eligible for other benefits. These benefits include group life and medical insurance as well as disability benefits. Mr. Lance, and in limited circumstances, other executives, may use the Harris owned aircraft for personal use, subject to approved guidelines. Harris does not reimburse executives for any income tax obligation attributable to their personal use of the Harris owned aircraft.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

Mr. Lances base salary, incentive compensation, performance share awards, stock option grants and other benefits are annually reviewed and approved by the Management Development and Compensation Committee together with all independent directors. Following approval by the Board of Directors, on December 3, 2004 Harris and Mr. Lance entered into a letter agreement providing for Mr. Lances continued employment. The terms of the letter agreement are discussed below under Employment and Change in Control Severance Agreements. In addition, effective August 26, 2006, Mr. Lances basic life insurance benefit was increased to two and one-half times his eligible compensation, subject to a limit of $10 million of coverage. Harris will also reimburse Mr. Lance for any federal income tax obligation resulting from this benefit.

In August 2005, the Management Development and Compensation Committee and independent directors established Mr. Lances annual base salary at $925,000, an increase from $850,000, and an annual cash bonus with a target level for such bonus equal to $925,000 and a maximum of $1,850,000. The base salary increase was effective on September 3, 2005. In recommending Mr. Lances total annual cash

incentive compensation for fiscal 2006, the Management Development and Compensation Committee considered Mr. Lances individual performance by the same measures previously described for determining executive officer compensation as well as additional individual performance factors, including development of our strategic growth plan, execution of major new product development plans and the results of recent acquisitions. In evaluating Mr. Lances performance for fiscal 2006, the Management Development and Compensation Committee considered the progress in achieving the strategic objectives and significantly exceeding our financial targets for fiscal 2006. The Management Development and Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Lances leadership skills contributed significantly to Harris positive results in fiscal 2006 and that he continues to make significant contributions to the overall success of Harris. Under our Annual Incentive Plan, Mr. Lance received annual cash incentive compensation for fiscal 2006 of $1,850,000, equal to 200% of his target bonus based upon earnings-per-share performance, revenue growth of the broadcast and microwave businesses and the factors noted above. In August 2005, the Management Development and Compensation Committee and independent directors granted Mr. Lance options to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock and performance shares for the three-year period ending June 30, 2008 of 42,000 shares at target with a maximum payout of 63,000 shares.

The table below gives more information on stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers under our stock incentive plans during the 2006 fiscal year. We did not grant any stock appreciation rights to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2006. Amounts shown for potential realizable values are based upon assumed annualized rates of stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% over the full term of the options, as required by the SEC, and are not intended to represent or forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of our common stock price.

thereof. Performance criteria include one or a combination of our cumulative earnings per share, operating income and return on invested capital during the strategic plan cycle. Share payouts are made following the determination of the Management Development and Compensation Committee and, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the other independent directors, and are based upon financial performance compared with strategic plan objectives. Payouts for performance shares granted during fiscal 2006 may also be adjusted based upon a comparison of Harris earnings per share and return on invested capital performance compared with Standard and Poors 500 and Midcap 400 Indices performance over the performance period. Share payouts range from zero to a maximum of 150% of the original shares awarded. The terms of these awards are intended to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) requirements. During the performance period, participants receive cash dividend equivalent payments on the performance share awards in an amount equal to dividends paid to shareholders on our common stock.

If an executive ceases to be an employee of Harris prior to the expiration of the performance period for any reason other than death, disability, retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or involuntary termination of employment of the executive other than for misconduct, all performance shares shall be forfeited. In the case of death, disability, retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or involuntary termination of employment of the executive other than for misconduct, the executive or his or her estate shall be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of the award that would otherwise be issued at the expiration of the performance period.

In the event of a change in control, the performance objectives applicable to the award are deemed to be attained, and performance shares are to be paid out at the end of the performance period, provided that:

| | In the event of death, disability, retirement or involuntary
termination other than for cause following a change in control,

EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

Employment Agreement Howard L. Lance

On December 3, 2004, our Board of Directors approved, and Harris and Mr. Lance entered into, a letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) providing for Mr. Lances continued employment as Harris Chief Executive Officer and President, and his continued service as a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors. The terms of Mr. Lances employment by Harris have been governed by the Letter Agreement since January 20, 2005, following the expiration on January 19, 2005 of the Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2003, by and between Harris and Mr. Lance and all obligations under that agreement.

The Letter Agreement provides for an indefinite term of employment commencing on January 20, 2005 and ending on termination of Mr. Lances employment either by Harris with or without cause, or upon Mr. Lances resignation for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Letter Agreement), death, disability, or other resignation or retirement.

In the event Mr. Lances employment is terminated by Harris without cause, which Harris is entitled to do upon thirty days prior written notice, or by Mr. Lance for good reason, then Mr. Lance would be entitled to receive from Harris (i) continuation of his then-current base salary for a period of two years; (ii) his pro-rated bonus for the year of termination; (iii) without duplication, his accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, his earned but unpaid bonus for the prior fiscal year, reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, and

other or additional compensation benefits in accordance with the terms of applicable Harris plans or employee benefit programs for terminated employees; (iv) continued participation in the medical, dental, hospitalization, short-term and long-term disability, and group life insurance coverage plans of Harris in which he was participating on the date of termination until 24 months following such date of termination (or, if earlier, until the date or dates on which he receives comparable coverage and benefits under the plans and programs of a subsequent employer); (v) during the two-year period following termination and notwithstanding the terms and conditions of his stock option and restricted stock agreements, continued vesting of his unvested restricted stock and/or options, and as to vested stock options, continued exercisability until the date which is three months after the end of such two-year period; (vi) pro-rated vesting of his outstanding performance share awards pursuant to Harris performance targets and resultant performance; and (vii) outplacement services at Harris expense for up to one year following the date of termination in accordance with the practices of Harris as in effect from time to time for senior executives.

In the event Mr. Lances employment is terminated by Harris for cause or upon Mr. Lances resignation other than for good reason, death, disability, or retirement, then Mr. Lance (or his estate or legal representative, as appropriate) shall be entitled to receive from Harris his accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, his earned but unpaid bonus for the prior fiscal year, reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, and other compensation benefits in accordance with the terms of applicable Harris plans or employee benefit programs for terminated employees. In the event Mr. Lances employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, he shall also be entitled to other compensation benefits in accordance with the terms of applicable Harris plans for employees who die or become disabled, as appropriate.

In the event of a change in control of Harris (which, as provided in the Letter Agreement, is defined in the Executive Severance Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2003, by and between Harris and Mr. Lance), and if Mr. Lances employment terminates under the circumstances provided under such Executive Severance Agreement, then Mr. Lance will be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided under such Executive Severance Agreement in lieu of any compensation or benefits receivable by him under the Letter Agreement.

The Letter Agreement also provides that Mr. Lance may not, for a one-year period following termination of his employment for any reason (or a two-year period if he is receiving severance from Harris), without Harris prior written consent, associate with an enterprise that competes with Harris, and, during his employment with Harris and for a two-year period following termination of his employment for any reason, solicit any customer or any employee of Harris to leave Harris.

Effective August 26, 2006, the Board approved an enhancement to Mr. Lances basic life insurance benefit, raising it to two and one-half times his eligible compensation, subject to a limit of $10 million of coverage. Eligible compensation consists of annual base salary plus his then current annual incentive plan target bonus. Harris will also reimburse Mr. Lance for any federal income tax obligation resulting from this benefit.

Employment Agreement Guy M. Campbell

Harris provided Mr. Campbell an Offer Letter dated August 8, 2003, offering him employment as President, Microwave Communications Division. The terms of continuing applicability to Mr. Campbells employment under the Offer Letter are that he is eligible to receive two years of base and incentive compensation in the event of a change in control, as set forth below under Executive Change in Control Severance Agreements, and one year of severance in the form of base and pro-rated incentive compensation in the event his employment is terminated for other than performance reasons. Under the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Campbell is also entitled to participate in Harris comprehensive employee benefit program, executive long-term disability insurance coverage, 401(k) Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Executive Change in Control Severance Agreements

To provide continuity of management and dedication of our corporate executives in the event of a threatened or actual change in control of Harris, our Board has approved change in control severance agreements for our officers and key managers, including the Named Executive Officers. Under these agreements, our officers and key managers are provided with severance benefits in the event the executives employment is terminated by us without cause, or by the executive for good reason, within two years following a change in control (all terms as defined in the severance agreement). Under the change in control severance agreement, the executive agrees not to voluntarily terminate his or her employment with us during the six-month period following a change in control.

If triggered, the lump-sum severance benefit payable under the change in control severance agreement equals the sum of (a) the executives unpaid base salary through the date of termination, a pro-rated annual bonus (as determined under the severance agreement), any compensation deferred by the executive other than under a tax-qualified plan and any accrued vacation pay; and (b) from one to three times (based upon the executives position) the executives highest annual rate of base salary during the 12-month period prior to the date of termination and from one to three times (based upon the executives position) the greatest of the executives highest annual bonus in the three years prior to the change in control, the executives target bonus for the year during which the change in control occurred or the executives target bonus for the year in which the executives employment is terminated. Payment amounts are three times compensation and bonus for Messrs. Lance, Henry and Shuman and two times compensation and bonus for Messrs. Campbell and McArthur. In addition, for the two years following the date of termination, the executive receives the same level of medical, dental, accident, disability, life insurance and any similar benefits as are in effect on the date of termination (or the highest level of coverage provided to active executives, if more favorable). The executive also receives reimbursement for any relocation expense related to the pursuit of other business opportunities incurred within two years following the date of termination, for recruitment or placement services of up to $4,000 and for professional financial or tax planning services of up to $5,000 per year. The change in control severance agreement also provides for a tax gross-up payment to the executive in the event that payment of any severance benefits is subject to excise taxes imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, pursuant to the change in control severance agreement we will reimburse the executive for any legal fees and costs with respect to any dispute arising under the severance agreement.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, as well as persons who own more than ten percent of our outstanding shares of common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our securities with the SEC and the NYSE. We have procedures in place to assist our directors and executive officers in preparing and filing these reports on a timely basis.

Based solely upon a review of the forms furnished to us, or written representations from certain persons that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that all required forms have been timely filed for fiscal 2006, except that a Form 3 filed on October 13, 2004 by our Vice President and General Counsel, Eugene S.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered

Public Accountants

E&Y served as Harris independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. In addition to the engagement to audit our financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and to review the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, E&Y was also engaged by us during fiscal 2006 to perform certain audit-related services.

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by E&Y for the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 and fees for other services rendered by E&Y during those periods.

	Fiscal 2006	Fiscal 2005
Audit Fees	$ 4,236,100	$ 4,336,100
Audit-Related Fees	141,400	0
Tax Fees	0	469,100
All Other Fees	0	0
Total	$ 4,377,500	$ 4,805,200

Audit Fees. Audit services include fees associated with the annual audit and the audit of internal control over financial reporting, as well as reviews of Harris quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, SEC registration statements, accounting and reporting consultations and statutory audits required internationally for subsidiaries of Harris.

Audit-Related Fees. Services within audit-related fees include the stand-alone audit of the Microwave Communications Division and transaction due diligence.

Tax Fees. Tax-related services include preparation and assistance with tax returns for expatriate employees and various foreign legal entities of Harris, and tax compliance and advice regarding income taxes within the United States and various international jurisdictions.

All Other Fees. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, no professional services were rendered or fees billed for other services not included within Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees or Tax Fees.

E&Y did not perform any professional services related to financial information systems design and implementation for Harris in fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005.

The Audit Committee has determined in its business judgment that the provision of non-audit services described above is compatible with maintaining E&Ys independence.

Pre-Approval of Audit

and Non-Audit Services

Under the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures, as adopted by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accountants in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair their independence. The policy utilizes a framework of both general pre-approval for certain specified services and specific pre-approval for all other services.

At the start of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee is asked to pre-approve the audit services, audit-related services and tax services together with specific details regarding such services anticipated to be required for such fiscal year including, when available, estimated fees. The Audit Committee reviews and, as it deems appropriate, pre-approves those services. The Audit Committee reviews, on at least a quarterly basis, the services provided to-date and actual fees against the estimates, and such fee amounts may be updated to the extent appropriate at the regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. Additional pre-approval is required before actual fees for any service can exceed the originally pre-approved amount. The Audit Committee may also revise the list of pre-approved services and related fees from time to time. All of the services described above under the captions Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees, with respect to fiscal 2006, were pre-approved in accordance with this policy.

36 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

If we seek to engage the independent registered public accountants for other services that are not considered subject to general pre-approval as described above, then the Audit Committee must approve such specific engagement as well as the estimated fees. Such engagement will be presented to the Audit Committee for pre-approval at its next regularly scheduled meeting. If the timing of the project requires an expedited decision, then we may ask the Chairperson of the Audit Committee to pre-approve such engagement. Any such pre-approval by the Chairperson is then reported to the full Audit Committee for ratification at the next Audit Committee meeting. In any event, pre-approval of any engagement by the Audit Committee or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee is required before our independent registered public accountants may commence any engagement. Additional pre-approval is required before any fees can exceed approved fees for any such specifically-approved services.

Appointment of Independent

Registered Public Accountants

for Fiscal 2007

The Audit Committee has appointed E&Y to audit our books and accounts for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2007.

Although applicable law does not require shareholder ratification of the appointment, our Board has decided to ascertain the position of our shareholders on the appointment. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment of E&Y, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment. We expect that a representative of E&Y will be present at the 2006 Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions of shareholders and to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.

As provided in the Audit Committees Charter and as discussed above, the Audit Committee is responsible for directly appointing, retaining, terminating and overseeing our independent registered public accountants. While Harris has a very long-standing relationship with E&Y, the Audit Committee continuously evaluates the independence and effectiveness of the independent public registered accounting firm and its personnel, and the cost and quality of its audit and audit-related services. In accordance with sound corporate governance practices and in order to ensure that the Audit Committee and our shareholders are receiving the best and most cost effective audit services available, the Audit Committee is considering issuing a request for proposal from E&Y and other large nationally recognized accounting firms with regard to our audit engagement for fiscal year 2008. This request for proposal process could result in a firm other than E&Y providing audit engagement services to us for fiscal 2008.

Recommendation Regarding Proposal 2

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and entitled to vote on this proposal will be required to ratify our Audit Committees appointment of independent registered public accountants. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountants.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR ratification of the Audit Committees appointment of E&Y as independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2007.

HARRIS CORPORATION

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

OF THE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

I. INTRODUCTION.

The Board of Directors (the Board) of Harris Corporation (the Corporation), acting on the recommendation of its Corporate Governance Committee, has developed and adopted these principles as a general guide to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities and to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its committees. The Board, on behalf of the Corporation and its shareholders, oversees and provides general direction to the management of the Corporation.

In addition to other Board or committee responsibilities outlined below, the responsibilities of the Board include: reviewing the overall operating, financial and strategic plans and performance of the Corporation; selecting and evaluating the Corporations Chief Executive Officer (CEO), either directly or through a committee overseeing the appointment and evaluation of the Corporations senior officers; overseeing appropriate policies of corporate conduct and compliance with laws; and, reviewing the process by which financial and non-financial information about the Corporation is provided to employees, management, the Board and the Corporations shareholders.

The Corporations senior officers, under the direction of the CEO, are responsible for the operations of the Corporation, implementation of the strategic, financial, and management plans of the Corporation, preparation of financial statements and other reports that accurately reflect requisite information about the Corporation, and timely reports which inform the Board about the foregoing matters.

These principles are not intended as binding legal obligations or inflexible requirements, and are not intended to interpret applicable laws and regulations or modify the Corporations Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws. These principles are subject to modification and the Board in the exercise of its discretion, shall be able to deviate from these principles from time to time, as the Board may deem appropriate or desirable or as required by applicable laws and regulations.

II. BOARD COMPOSITION.

(a) Size of the Board; Staggered Board . The Board will periodically review the appropriate size of the Board given factors deemed relevant to the Board, including providing for sufficient diversity among non-employee directors while also facilitating substantive discussions and input in which each director can meaningfully participate. The Corporations Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws currently provide that the authorized number of directors will be not less than eight or more than thirteen. The Board is classified with the terms of office of each of the three classes of directors ending in successive three-year terms, as provided in the Corporations Certificate of Incorporation. The Board believes that this staggered election of directors helps maintain continuity and stability of the work of the Board and assists in conducting long-term strategic planning, which is vital to the Corporations future success.

(b) Majority of Independent Directors . A majority of the directors serving on the Board will meet the standard of director independence set forth in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards as the same may be amended from time to time (the listing standards ), as well as other factors not inconsistent with the listing standards that the Board considers appropriate for effective oversight and decision-making by the Board.

(c) Affirmative Determination of Independence . The Board will affirmatively determine annually and at other times required by the listing standards that the directors designated as independent have no material relationships to the Corporation (either directly or with an organization in which the director is a partner, shareholder or officer or is financially interested) that may interfere with the exercise of their

A-1 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

independence from management and the Corporation. If the Board determines that a director has a relationship which is not material, the Corporation will disclose the determination in its annual proxy statement, provided that the Board may adopt and disclose categorical standards to assist it in making determinations of independence and disclose if a director meets these standards.

(d) Management Directors . The Board anticipates that the Corporations CEO will be nominated to serve on the Board. The Board may also appoint or nominate other members of the Corporations management whose experience and role at the Corporation are expected to help the Board fulfill its responsibilities.

(e) Selection of Chairman and Presiding Independent Director . The Board will periodically appoint a Chairman of the Board. The Board believes it is appropriate and efficient for the Corporations CEO also to serve as Chairman. However, the Board retains the authority to separate those functions in the future if it deems such action is appropriate. The Board has adopted a procedure for the selection of an individual to act as Chairperson to preside at the sessions of independent directors. The procedure requires the annual rotation of the individual to chair the Board sessions of independent directors among the Chairpersons of each of the Board committees, in alphabetical order by committee name. The Corporation will appropriately disclose: (i) the procedure by which such presiding director is chosen; and (ii) the method by which interested parties may contact the independent directors. The Board has considered the concept of a lead non-employee director and believes that rather than designating a lead non-employee director, the annual rotation of an independent director to chair the Board sessions of independent directors is more effective.

(f) Selection of Board Nominees . The Board has overall responsibility for the selection of candidates for nomination or appointment to the Board. The Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate and recommend director candidates to the Board for nomination or appointment. The Board will determine the individuals to be nominated to serve on the Corporations Board for election by shareholders at each annual meeting of shareholders, and to be appointed to fill vacancies on the Board.

(g) Board Membership Criteria . The Boards policy is to encourage the selection of directors who will contribute to the Corporations overall corporate goals including: responsibility to its shareholders, industry leadership, customer success, positive working environment, and integrity in financial reporting and business conduct. The Board, based on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, will select new nominees for the position of director considering the following criteria:

| | Demonstrated ability and sound judgment that usually will be
based on broad experience; |
| --- | --- |
| | Personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and
reputation in the business community, professional integrity,
educational background, business experience and related
experience; |
| | Willingness to objectively appraise management performance; |
| | Giving due consideration to potential conflicts of interest,
current knowledge and contacts in the communities in which the
Corporation does business and in the Corporations industry
or other industries relevant to the Corporations business; |
| | Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and
committee matters including attendance at Board meetings,
committee meetings, and annual shareholders meetings; |
| | Fit of the individuals skills and personality with those
of other directors and potential directors in building a Board
that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of the
Corporation and the interests of its shareholders; and |
| | Diversity of viewpoints, background, experience and similar
demographics. |

The Board and the Corporate Governance Committee will, from time to time, review the experience and characteristics appropriate for Board members and director candidates in light of the Boards composition at the time and the skills and expertise needed for effective operation of the Board and its committees.

A-2 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

(h) Term Limits; Retirement; Change in Status; Other Directorships .

| (i) No Term Limits . The Board does not impose term
limits, because of the belief they could unnecessarily interfere
with the continuity, diversity, developed experience and
knowledge, and the long-term outlook of the Board. The Board,
based on recommendations by the Corporate Governance Committee,
will review the prior service of the director who is eligible to
be re-nominated for Board membership, including an assessment of
individual director performance, attendance, length of service,
number of other public and private corporation boards on which
the individual serves, composition and requirements of the Board
at that time, and other relevant factors. |
| --- |
| (ii) Retirement Policy . Directors will retire from
the Board effective at the end of the month in which they reach
age 72. In the event that a directors 72nd birthday falls
within twelve months of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at
which such director would stand for re-election, such director
shall not stand for re-election. Upon reaching age 72, a
director shall tender his or her resignation. |
| (iii) Change in Status . Individual directors who
(A) retire, or (B) change the primary job
responsibility or employer they had when last elected or
appointed to the Board, will promptly tender their resignation
so that the Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may
determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether the directors
continued Board membership is in the best interest of the
Corporation, free from conflict of interests, and is otherwise
appropriate. |
| (iv) Other Directorships . The Board recognizes that
individuals should limit the number of boards on which they
serve so they can give proper attention to each board
responsibility. The Corporate Governance Committee shall
consider the number of other boards on which a prospective
nominee is a member. The Board believes that directors should
simultaneously serve on no more than four other public company
boards. Directors are expected to advise the Chairman of the
Board, the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee and
the Corporate Secretary in advance of accepting any other
company directorship. To avoid any potential conflict of
interest, it is expected that Board members will refrain from
serving as a director with any companies that compete with the
Corporation. |

(i) Communications with Independent Directors . The Board will maintain procedures for interested parties to communicate with the non-employee directors. These procedures will be published in the Proxy Statement for each annual meeting of shareholders and posted on the Corporations internet site.

III. BOARD COMPENSATION.

The Board, through the Corporate Governance Committee, will review or request management or outside consultants (retained by or at the direction of the Corporate Governance Committee) to review appropriate compensation policies or changes in compensation policies for the directors serving on the Board and its committees. This review may consider Board compensation practices of other comparable public companies, contributions to the Board functions, time commitments expected for Board and committee service, and other appropriate factors. The Board believes that equity-based compensation is an important component of director compensation as it aligns the directors interests with those of shareholders. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, may adopt share ownership guidelines for independent directors. The Corporate Governance Committee will review director compensation annually and recommend changes, if any, to the Board for approval.

IV. BOARD MEETINGS.

(a) Scheduling of Full Board Meetings and Committee Meetings . The Board meeting schedule and agenda are developed with direct input from directors. Meeting lengths vary as business and discussion dictate. Teleconference meetings may be used between regular meetings to address significant issues.

During each fiscal year, the Board will generally hold six regular meetings. In consultation with each Committee Chairperson, the Chairman recommends a meeting schedule (including frequency and length of meeting) for the Board and meeting schedules and suggested agendas for the committees for the next

A-3 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

two years. The schedule and agendas are reviewed by the Corporate Governance Committee and then presented to the full Board for approval.

(b) Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors . To ensure free and open communication among the non-management directors of the Board, each fiscal year the non-management directors will hold regularly scheduled executive sessions without management directors or management present, at such times and for such purposes as the non-management directors consider to be appropriate. For the convenience of the directors, these meetings may, but need not, be scheduled to coincide with the dates of regular Board meetings. The independent directors may invite the Corporations independent auditors, legal counsel, other consultants or advisors, finance staff and other employees to attend portions of these meetings. Non-management directors who are not independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange may participate in these executive sessions, but independent directors shall meet separately in executive session at least once per year.

(c) Agenda . The Board shall be responsible for its agenda. The Chairman of the Board and the Corporate Secretary will have primary responsibility for suggesting the specific agenda for each meeting and arranging for the agenda to be sent in advance of the meeting to the directors along with appropriate written information and background materials. Each Board committee Chairperson and each individual director is encouraged to suggest specific items for inclusion on the agenda. The Chairperson and the full Board each separately may require the Board to meet in executive sessions to discuss sensitive matters with or without distribution of written materials.

(d) Access to Management and Information; Meeting Materials Distributed in Advance . The Corporations management will afford each Board member full access to the Corporations management and employees and the outside auditors, legal counsel and other professional advisors for any purpose reasonably related to the Boards responsibilities. Each director is entitled to: (i) inspect the Corporations books and records and obtain such other data and information as the director may reasonably request; (ii) inspect facilities as reasonably appropriate for the performance of director duties; and (iii) receive notice of all meetings in which a director is entitled to participate and copies of all Board and committee meeting minutes. Information and data that is important to the business and/or that related to items expected to be discussed or acted upon by the Board at a meeting, will be distributed to the Board before the Board meets. The Board intends that this information be understandable, organized and distributed in a timely manner to allow for meaningful review.

(e) Independent Inquiries and Advisors . The Board is authorized to conduct investigations, and to retain, at the expense of the Corporation, independent legal, accounting, investment banking, or other professional advisors selected by the Board, for any matters relating to the purpose or responsibilities of the Board.

V. BOARD COMMITTEES.

(a) Committees . The committees of the Board are: the Audit Committee; Business Conduct and Corporate Responsibility Committee; Corporate Governance Committee; Finance Committee; and Management Development and Compensation Committee. The Board may, from time to time, establish additional committees or, subject to compliance with applicable law and applicable listing standards, dissolve or otherwise reconfigure existing committees.

(b) Committee Member Selection . After considering the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board will designate the members and the Chairperson of each committee, endeavoring to match the committees function and needs for expertise with individual skills and experience of the appointees to the committee. Each member of the Audit, Business Conduct and Corporate Responsibility, Management Development and Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committees will be independent as defined in the applicable listing standards, laws and regulations and, in the case of the Audit Committee, who also satisfy the additional eligibility requirements of the SECs rules and regulations. The required qualifications for the members of each committee shall be set out in the respective committees charter.

A-4 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

(c) Committee Functions . Each of the Board committees will have a written charter approved by the Board in compliance with applicable listing standards, laws and regulations. The number and content of committee meetings and means of carrying out committee responsibilities will be determined by each committee in light of the committees charter, the authority delegated by the Board to the committee, and legal, regulatory, accounting or governance principles applicable to that committees function. The Chairperson of each committee, in consultation with the appropriate members of the committee and management, will develop and approve the committees agenda. The Corporations management will afford access to the Corporations employees, professional advisors, and other resources, if needed, to enable committee members to carry out their responsibilities.

VI. BOARD MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES.

(a) Director Responsibilities .

| (i) Generally . The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the supervision and
direction of the Board in accordance with Delaware law. The core
responsibility of the Board of Directors is to exercise its
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the Corporation
and its shareholders. A director is expected to discharge his or
her director duties, including duties as a member of a committee
on which the director serves, in good faith and in a manner the
director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
Corporation. |
| --- |
| (ii) Disclose Relationships . Each independent
director is expected to disclose promptly to the Board any
existing or proposed relationships with the Corporation (other
than service as a Board member or on Board committees) which
could affect the independence of the director under applicable
listing standards or any additional standards as may be
established by the Board from time to time, including direct
relationships between the Corporation and the director and his
or her family members, and indirect relationships between the
Corporation and any business, nonprofit or other organization in
which the director is a general partner or manager, officer, or
significant shareholder, or is materially financially interested. |
| (iii) Reporting and Compliance Systems . Based on
information available to the director, each director should be
satisfied that Corporation management maintains an effective
system for timely reporting to the Board or appropriate Board
committees on the following: (i) the Corporations
financial and business plans, strategies and objectives;
(ii) the recent financial results and condition of the
Corporation and its business segments; (iii) significant
accounting, regulatory, competitive, litigation and other
external issues affecting the Corporation; and (iv) systems
of control which promote accurate and timely reporting of
financial information to shareholders and compliance with laws
and corporate policies. Based on information furnished by
management or otherwise available to the Board, each director is
expected to have a basic understanding of the foregoing matters. |
| (iv) Attendance and Preparation . Board members are
expected to devote sufficient time and attention to prepare for,
attend and participate in Board meetings and meetings of
committees on which they serve, including advance review of
meeting materials that may be circulated prior to each meeting.
In the absence of unavoidable conflict, all Board members are
also expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. SEC
rules require disclosure in the Corporations proxy
statement of any director who fails to attend an aggregate of
75% of all Board and committee meetings and the number of Board
members that attended the prior years Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. |
| (v) Reliance on Management and Outside Advisors . In
discharging responsibilities as a director, a director is
entitled to rely in good faith on reports, opinions or other
information provided by Corporation management, independent
auditors, legal counsel, other consultants and advisors, and
other persons as to matters the director reasonably believes to
be within such other persons professional or expert
competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or
on behalf of the Corporation. |

A-5 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

(b) Code of Conduct and Ethics . Each member of the Board shall at all times exhibit high standards of integrity and ethical behavior. Each director shall adhere to the applicable Corporation policies concerning integrity and ethical behavior, including the Corporations Directors Standards of Business Conduct. In addition, directors must avoid any conflict between their own interests and the interests of the Corporation in dealing with suppliers, customers, and other third parties, and in the conduct of their personal affairs.

(c) Transactions Affecting Director Independence . Without the prior approval of a majority of disinterested members of the full Board, and, if required by the listing standards, the Audit Committee, the Corporation will not make significant charitable contributions to organizations in which a director or a family member of the director is affiliated, enter into consulting contracts with (or otherwise provide indirect forms of compensation to) a director, or enter into any relationships or transactions (other than service as a director and Board committee member) between the Corporation and the director (or any business or nonprofit entity or organization in which the director is a general partner, controlling shareholder, officer, manager, or trustee, or materially financially interested). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to comply with SEC rules, no member of the Audit Committee will be an affiliated person of the Corporation or receive any direct or indirect compensation from the Corporation other than for service as a director and on committees on which the individual serves.

(d) Orientation and Continuing Education . The Board is expected periodically to review appropriate policies and procedures for providing orientation sessions for newly elected or appointed directors, including background material on the Corporation, its business plans, legal affairs, and risk profile, and meetings with senior management, and recommending on an as-needed basis continuing director education programs for Board or committee members.

VII. SUCCESSION PLANNING.

(a) CEO Succession Planning . At least annually, the Board shall review a succession plan addressing the policies and principles for selecting a successor to the CEO, both in an emergency situation or retirement and in the ordinary course of business.

Each committee of the Board shall conduct a self-evaluation at least annually and report the results to the Board. Each committees evaluation must compare the performance of the committee with the requirements of its written charter.

HARRIS CORPORATION CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

Historical Perspective :

The Responsibilities of Directors evolved through discussions by the Board of Directors of Harris Corporation at a series of single-subject seminars, the first of which was held in 1960. It was formalized as a written document in 1965 and then updated in certain respects at meetings of the Board of Directors in 1972, 1977, and 1994.

The Administration of the Board of Directors derived from the Board of Directors Guidelines which was first approved by the Board of Directors in 1988 and revised in 1994.

The Responsibilities and Administration of the Board of Directors is a consolidation of the Administration of the Board of Directors and the Responsibilities of Directors guidelines by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors in December 1997 and was approved by the Committee in February 1998.

The Harris Corporation Corporate Governance Principles evolved through discussions by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors at the Committees February 2001, February 2002, and June 2002 meetings and a discussion with the Board of Directors in April 2002. It was presented to the Board of Directors for approval and adopted by the Board at the June 28, 2002, meeting and was further amended by the Board of Directors on June 25, 2004 and on October 28, 2005.

HARRIS CORPORATION

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE STANDARDS

As permitted by the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards, the Board of Directors ( Board ) of Harris Corporation ( Harris ) has adopted Director Independence Standards to assist in its determination of director independence. To be considered independent for purposes of these standards, a director must be affirmatively determined, by resolution of the Board as a whole, after due deliberation and a review of relevant information, to have no direct or indirect material relationship with Harris other than as a director. In each case, the Board will broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances and will apply the following standards:

In no event will a director be considered independent if, within the preceding three years:

| | the director was an employee, or an immediate family member of
the director was employed as an executive officer, of Harris; or |
| --- | --- |
| | the director, or an immediate family member of the director,
received more than $100,000 per year in direct compensation from
Harris, other than director and committee fees and pension or
other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided
that such compensation is not contingent in any way of continued
service with Harris); except that compensation received by an
immediate family member of the director for services as a
non-executive employee of Harris need not be considered in
determining independence under this test; or |
| | the director was affiliated with or employed by, or an immediate
family member of the director was affiliated with or employed in
a professional capacity by, a present or former internal or
external auditor of Harris; or |
| | the director, or an immediate family member of the director, was
employed as an executive officer of another company where any of
Harris present executives serve on that companys
compensation committee; or |
| | the director was an executive officer or employed by another
company (other than a charitable organization), or an immediate
family member of the director was employed as an executive
officer of such company, that makes payments to, or receives
payments from, Harris for property or services in an amount
which, in any single fiscal year, exceeds the greater of
$1 million or 2% of such other companys consolidated
gross revenues. |

The following relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would impair a directors independence:

| | Commercial Relationship: if a director of Harris is an
executive officer or an employee, or whose immediate family
member is an executive officer, of another company that makes
payments to, or receives payments from, Harris for property or
services in an amount which, in any single fiscal year, does not
exceed the greater of (a) $1,000,000 or (b) 2% of the
consolidated gross annual revenues of the company the director
or the directors immediate family member serves as an
executive officer or employee, as applicable; |
| --- | --- |
| | Indebtedness Relationship: if a director or an immediate
family member of a director of Harris is an executive officer of
another company which is indebted to, or to which Harris is
indebted, and the total amount of either companys
indebtedness is less than 2% of the consolidated assets of the
company wherein the director or immediate family member serves
as an executive officer; |
| | Equity Relationship: if the director is an executive
officer of another company in which Harris owns a common stock
interest, and the amount of the common stock interest is less |

B-1 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

| | than 5% of the total shareholders equity of the company
where the director serves as an executive officer; |
| --- | --- |
| | Charitable Relationship: if a director of Harris, or the
spouse of a director of Harris, serves as a director, officer,
or trustee of a charitable organization, and within the
preceding three years, Harris discretionary contributions
to the organization in any single fiscal year are less than the
greater of (a) $1,000,000 or (b) 2% of that
organizations gross revenues; or |
| | Stock Ownership: the ownership of Harris shares by a
director or a directors immediate family members. |

Annually, the Board will review all commercial and charitable relationships of directors to determine whether directors meet the categorical standards described in Sections 1 and 2 above.

| 3. | For relationships not covered by Section 2 above, or for
relationships that are covered, but as to which the Board
believes a director may nevertheless be independent (and to the
extent that any such relationship would not constitute a bar to
independence under NYSE listing standards), the determination of
whether the relationship is material or not, and therefore
whether the director would be independent, will be made by the
directors who satisfy the independence guidelines set forth in
Sections 1 and 2 above. Harris will disclose in its proxy
statement any Board determination that a relationship was
immaterial in the event that it did not meet the categorical
standards set forth in Section 2 above. |
| --- | --- |
| 4. | Members of Harris Audit Committee must also satisfy the
independence requirements of Section 10A(m)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
| 5. | For purposes of these standards, (a) an immediate
family member includes a persons spouse, parents,
children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and
daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, and anyone (other
than domestic employees) who shares such persons home;
except that when applying the independence tests described
above, Harris need not consider individuals who are no longer
immediate family members as a result of legal separation or
divorce, or those who have died or have become incapacitated,
and (b) Harris includes Harris Corporation and all
of its consolidated subsidiaries. |

The Board may revise these Director Independence Standards from time to time, as it deems appropriate, subject to applicable stock exchange listing requirements.

Adopted June 25, 2004.

HARRIS CORPORATION

AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

CHARTER

I. PURPOSES.

The purposes of the Audit Committee (Committee) of the Board of Directors (the Board) of Harris Corporation (the Corporation) are to:

| 1. assist Board oversight of: (i) the integrity of the
Corporations financial statements, (ii) the
Corporations compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, (iii) the independent auditors
qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance
of the independent auditors and the Corporations internal
audit function; and |
| --- |
| 2. prepare a Committee report as required by the rules of

II. MEMBERSHIP.

The Committee shall be comprised of not less than three members of the Board, each of whom the Board has determined has no material relationship with the Corporation and each of whom is otherwise independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The Board shall also determine that each member is financially literate, and that at least one member of the Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise as such qualifications are interpreted by the Board in its business judgment and whether any member of the Committee is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the rules of the SEC. If the Board has determined that a member of the Committee is an audit committee financial expert, it may presume that such member has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee and shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and for such term or terms as the Board may determine, or until their earlier resignation, death, or removal by the Board.

The independent auditors shall submit to the Committee annually for disclosure purposes a formal written statement of the fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for each of the following categories of services rendered by the independent auditors: (i) the audit of the Corporations annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Corporations Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or services that are normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements; (ii) assurance and related services not included in clause (i) that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Corporations financial statements, in the aggregate and by each service; (iii) tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services, in the aggregate and by each service; and (iv) any other products and services rendered by the independent auditors, in the aggregate and by each service.
