The Letter Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, supersedes all prior agreements regarding Dr. Sugar's employment matters, terminates all rights and obligations under or pursuant to the Employment Agreement, and shall become effective on December 31, 2008. In addition, it includes a provision providing Dr. Sugar "retirement" treatment of his equity grants in the event he is terminated without Cause (as such term is defined in his equity grant certificates) before he has ten years of service with the Company for purposes of the Northrop Grumman 2001 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (LTISP).
