TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 1, 2001

1.   General

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (Teledyne Technologies or the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, but resultant disclosures are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as they apply to interim reporting. The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Teledyne Technologies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (2000 Form 10-K).

  In the opinion of Teledyne Technologies’ management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Teledyne Technologies’ consolidated financial position as of April 1, 2001, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the quarterly period then ended. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended April 1, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the full fiscal year.

  Certain financial statements and notes for the prior year have been changed to conform to the 2001 presentation.

  Effective November 29, 1999, Teledyne Technologies became an independent, public company as a result of the distribution by Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated, now known as Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI), of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, to holders of ATI Common Stock at a distribution ratio of one for seven (the spin-off).

  In December 2000, Teledyne Technologies sold the assets of Teledyne Cast Parts, a provider of sand and investment castings to the aerospace and defense industries which was previously reported as part of the Aerospace Engines and Components segment. The consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect Teledyne Cast Parts as a discontinued operation. Sales for Teledyne Cast Parts were $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2000.

2.   Comprehensive Income

  Teledyne Technologies’ comprehensive income is composed of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Teledyne Technologies’ comprehensive income was $5.4 million and $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively.

3.   Earnings Per Share

  Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed based on net earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share, and this number of shares was increased by the dilutive effect of stock options based on the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

  The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in millions, except per-share data):

5.   Inventories

  Inventories are primarily valued under the LIFO method. The valuation of LIFO inventory for interim periods is based on management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels and costs. Inventories consist of the following (amounts in millions):

                 
Balance at April 1, 2001 December 31, 2000



Raw materials and supplies
  $ 32.9     $ 29.6  
Work in process
    67.2       59.4

  (3.2 )   (4.0 )
LIFO reserve
  (31.0 )   (31.9 )
   
     
 
Total inventories, net
  $ 81.3     $ 65.2  
   
     
 

6.   Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

  Accrued liabilities included salaries and wages of $25.9 million and $27.4 million at April 1, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Other long-term liabilities included reserves for self-insurance, the long-term portion of product recall and environmental reserves.

7.   Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters

  The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at approximately 15 such sites, excluding those at which the Company believes it has no future liability.

  In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2000 Form 10-K, environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. In many cases, however, investigations are not yet at a stage where the Company has been able to determine whether it is liable or, if liability is probable, to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, or certain components thereof. Estimates of the Company’s liability are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and estimates of appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, the extent of corrective actions that may be required, and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. Accordingly, as investigation and remediation of these sites proceeds, it is likely that adjustments in the Company’s accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a given period, but the amounts, and the possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, management does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites with which the Company has been identified are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity. However, resolution of one or more of these environmental matters or future accrual adjustments in any one reporting period could have a material adverse effect on results of operations for that period. Additionally, there can be no assurance that additional future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Table of Contents

  At April 1, 2001, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled approximately $2.3 million, of which approximately $549 thousand were included in other current liabilities. The Company is evaluating whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance carriers and from third parties other than participating potentially responsible parties.

  The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.

  Various claims (whether based on U.S. Government or Company audits and investigations or otherwise) have been or may be asserted against the Company related to its U.S. Government contract work, including claims based on business practices and cost classifications and actions under the False Claims Act. Although such claims are generally resolved by detailed fact-finding and negotiation, on those occasions when they are not so resolved, civil or criminal legal or administrative proceedings may ensue. Depending on the circumstances and the outcome, such proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages or the cancellation or suspension of payments under one or more U.S. Government contracts. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or units, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts based on the results of investigations. However, although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe there is any audit, review or investigation currently pending against the Company of which management is aware that is likely to result in suspension or debarment of the Company, or that is otherwise likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

  The Company learns from time to time that it has been named as a defendant in civil actions filed under seal pursuant to the False Claims Act. Generally, since such cases are under seal, the Company does not in all cases possess sufficient information to determine whether the Company could sustain a material loss in connection with such cases, or to reasonably estimate the amount of any loss attributable to such cases.

  In connection with the spin-off, ATI received a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service stating in principle that the spin-off will be tax free to ATI and ATI’s stockholders. In July 2000, the Internal Revenue Service agreed to a modification of the tax ruling issued in connection with the spin-off of Teledyne Technologies from ATI. The revised ruling required Teledyne Technologies to complete a smaller public offering of its outstanding Common Stock. In the third quarter of 2000, Teledyne Technologies issued 4,605,000 shares of its Common Stock in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of approximately $84.0 million to fulfill a material requirement of the ruling. The continuing validity of the IRS tax ruling is subject to the use of the proceeds from the public offering for research and development and related capital projects, for the further development of manufacturing capabilities and for acquisitions and/or joint ventures. At April 1, 2001, $24.1 million of the net proceeds remained to be used.

  The Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement between ATI and Teledyne Technologies provides that the Company will indemnify ATI and its agents and representatives for taxes imposed on, and other amounts paid by, them or ATI stockholders if the Company takes actions or fails to take actions that result in the spin-off not qualifying as a tax-free distribution. If the Company were required to so indemnify ATI, such an obligation could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flow and the amount the Company could be required to pay could exceed its net worth by a substantial amount.

Table of Contents

  A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment and employee benefits. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period.

Net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $4.8 million ($0.15 per diluted share), compared with net income of $10.2 million ($0.38 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2000.

The decrease in sales reflected significantly lower sales in the Aerospace Engines and Components segment, partially offset by higher sales in both the Electronics and Communications and Systems Engineering Solutions segments.

The decrease in earnings in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the first quarter of 2000, reflected lower operating profit in each operating segment. Net pension income for the first quarter of 2001 was $2.4 million, compared with net pension income of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2000. Earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $13.6 million and $23.0 million for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was higher in the first quarter of 2001, compared with the first quarter of 2000, for both the Electronics and Communications and the Aerospace Engines and Components segments. The higher cost of sales percentage for the Electronics and Communications segment reflected spending associated with optoelectronic and wireless growth initiatives. The higher cost of sales percentage for the Aerospace Engines and Components segment reflected the impact of semi-fixed and fixed overhead costs with significantly lower sales and sales mix differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for both the first quarter of 2001 and first quarter of 2000 was 39.7 percent.

Teledyne Technologies intends to continue to follow its long-term strategy of maintaining leadership positions in niche markets while investing in selected growth initiatives; however, it is responding to the current economic environment by accelerating efforts to reduce Teledyne Technologies overall cost structure, monitoring asset utilization, and striving for improved cash management. Teledyne Technologies has reduced its total workforce by 300 people, including salaried and hourly employees, or approximately 5%.

Other specific actions that the Company intends to undertake to improve operating performance include:

    Exiting non-core, under-performing businesses
 
    Consolidating and realigning operations and management
 
    Increasing the use of lean manufacturing cells
 
    Improving supply chain management
 
    Making additional workforce reductions

As a result of these actions, Teledyne Technologies expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $5 million to $10 million in the second quarter of 2001.

In the Electronics and Communications segment the Company recently reduced headcount in certain electronics businesses that have been affected by current market conditions. In addition, Teledyne Technologies is reviewing capital spending plans and foresees opportunities for facility consolidations. Further, the Company plans to exit certain non-core product lines and drive productivity improvements across the segment.

In the Systems Engineering Solutions segment the Company continues to focus on core government services businesses. In the second quarter, Teledyne Technologies expects to close the sale of two non-core product lines within this segment. In addition, the Company continues to explore various strategic alternatives aimed at creating shareholder value with its Energy Systems business.

In the Aerospace Engines and Components segment the Company recently reduced headcount by 214 or approximately 21%. Teledyne Continental Motors’ piston engine business unit has introduced automated manufacturing cells that should permit production efficiencies as market conditions improve. Teledyne Continental Motors has also realigned its cost structure and is aggressively reducing controllable expenses.

Electronics and Communications

The Electronics and Communications segment first quarter sales were $89.1 million, up 4.0% from 2000 first quarter sales of $85.7 million. First quarter operating profit was $6.1 million, compared with $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2000. The first quarter of 2001 includes $5.1 million of costs associated with optoelectronic and wireless growth initiatives, while there was no similar impact in the first quarter of 2000.

First quarter sales, compared with the same period in 2000, grew in business and commuter aircraft communications equipment, microwave products, and optoelectronics partially offset by lower electronic manufacturing services sales. Orders for business and commuter aircraft communications equipment and microwave products remain strong. The Company continues to see weakness in demand for electronic manufacturing services and commercial electronic products, especially relays used in semiconductor test equipment. Operating profit reflects improvements in business and commuter aircraft communications equipment and microwave product sales partially offset by lower electronic manufacturing services sales.

Systems Engineering Solutions

The Systems Engineering Solutions segment first quarter sales were $61.8 million, up 8.0% from 2000 first quarter sales of $57.2 million. First quarter operating profit was $4.5 million, compared with $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2000.

Table of Contents

First quarter sales, compared with the same period in 2000, reflect growth in systems engineering integration, aerospace programs, energy systems and additional work with small businesses partially offset by continuing weak orders for our marine products for the petroleum exploration market. Operating profit reflects the sales differences and start-up costs and attendant inefficiencies within environmental programs, including the relocation of a lab. Additionally, operating profit for the first quarter of 2000 reflected a gain of $1.4 million in the Company’s chemical weapons demilitarization business related to additional program funding, which was partially offset by lower profit due to a writedown of approximately $0.9 million in our process control software business.

Aerospace Engines and Components

The Aerospace Engines and Components segment first quarter sales were $38.8 million, compared with $52.5 million in the first quarter of 2000. First quarter operating profit was $0.9 million, compared with $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2000.

First quarter sales, compared with the same period in 2000, reflect some growth in OEM engines. However, we continue to see significant weakness in the order levels for aftermarket piston engine and high-margin piston engine spare parts. Turbine engine sales are lower than the same period in 2000 due to, as previously disclosed, reduced spare part sales resulting from these parts no longer being on the military critical shortage list, reduced foreign demand for HARPOON missiles and reduced development work. Operating profit reflects the lower level of sales. Cost containment measures, including workforce reductions, have been made as a result of these reduced business levels.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Teledyne Technologies’ net cash used by operating activities from continuing operations was $25.0 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with net cash provided of $11.7 million for the same period of 2000. The 2001 amount reflected lower net income, higher income tax payments due to the payment in 2000 of a one-month liability for the end of 1999 compared to the payment in 2001 for the final required tax payment for the twelve months of 2000 and higher inventory balances, partially offset by a lower increase in accounts receivable, compared to the first quarter of 2000. The $0.9 million in cash used by discontinued operations primarily reflected the payment of a purchase price adjustment as previously disclosed.

During the first quarter 2001, prepaid income taxes increased by $12.3 million, while during the first quarter of 2000 income taxes payable increased by $4.7 million due to the timing of required tax payments.

Working capital increased to $129.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2001, compared with $107.6 million at the end of the 2000. The increase in working capital was primarily due to higher inventory balances and higher prepaid income taxes.

The higher balance in inventory reflected an increase in government orders with a resulting increase in inventory for the Electronics and Communications segment as well as inventory on hand in anticipation of orders that have been delayed or have not yet been received, in the Electronics and Communications and Aerospace Engines and Components segments, due to the current economic slowdown.

Teledyne Technologies’ net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $13.0 million and $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively, and was primarily for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2001, compared with $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2000. The first quarter of 2001 capital spending included $5.3 million of capital expenditures that were committed in 2000.

Table of Contents

Financing activities provided net cash of $28.6 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared with cash used of $12.8 million for the same quarter of 2000. The 2001 amount primarily reflected borrowings under the revolving credit agreement while the 2000 amount primarily reflected net payments against the revolving credit agreement.

Teledyne Technologies’ principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service requirements. It is anticipated that operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facility described below, will be sufficient to meet these requirements in the year 2001. Teledyne Technologies currently expects to spend approximately $30 million on its capital spending program in 2001.

A $200 million five-year revolving credit agreement that terminates in November 2004 was arranged with a syndicate of banks in connection with the Company’s 1999 spin-off from Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI). At April 1, 2001 Teledyne Technologies had $27.7 million outstanding under the facility. Excluding interest and fees, no payments are due under the credit facility until the facility terminates. Available borrowing under the credit facility was $172.3 million at April 1, 2001, compared with $200 million at year end 2000. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial covenants and restrictions. It prohibits the declaration of dividends or making other specified payments in amounts exceeding 25 percent of cumulative net income after the effective date of the credit agreement (which was $10.7 million as of April 1, 2001).

In connection with the spin-off, ATI received a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service stating in principle that the spin-off will be tax free to ATI and ATI’s stockholders. In July 2000, the Internal Revenue Service agreed to a modification of the tax ruling issued in connection with the spin-off of Teledyne Technologies from ATI. The revised ruling required Teledyne Technologies to complete a smaller public offering of its outstanding Common Stock. In the third quarter of 2000, Teledyne Technologies issued 4,605,000 shares of its Common Stock in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of approximately $84.0 million to fulfill a material requirement of the ruling. The continuing validity of the IRS tax ruling is subject to the use of the proceeds from the public offering for research and development and related capital projects, for the further development of manufacturing capabilities and for acquisitions and/or joint ventures. At April 1, 2001, $24.1 million of the net proceeds remained to be used.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133—“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. In 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137—“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138—“Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities—an amendment of SFAS No. 133,” which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative and hedging activities. Teledyne Technologies’ adoption of SFAS No. 133 as amended, effective January 1, 2001, did not have a material impact Teledyne Technologies’ financial position or results of operations. See “Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.

Outlook

The Company expects stable, but modest, revenue growth in the majority of our government businesses that represent approximately 45% of total revenue. In addition, we do not expect current market conditions to significantly affect the outlook for certain long-cycle commercial electronics businesses, such as aircraft communications systems.

Teledyne Technologies continues to see the overall weakness in the economy affecting our near-term revenue and profit performance in certain electronics markets. Based on a lack of revenue visibility and recent comments by several customers in the semiconductor and telecommunication industries, we are not forecasting any improvement and early signs indicate some deterioration in the demand for our products.

Table of Contents

The widely reported downturn in demand for optical components is expected to negatively impact our contract manufacturing sales of legacy products for the balance of 2001. Reduced demand is increasingly causing our customers to cancel or delay orders, especially for components used in lower data rate applications. Based on our current backlog, we expect optoelectronics revenue in 2001 to be approximately $15 million to $20 million. Given the slower than previously anticipated revenue ramp-up, the Company does not expect break-even operating profit for its optoelectronics business unit until the first half of 2002. Teledyne Technologies remains cautiously optimistic about the long-term potential of this market because our customers are increasingly engaging us for the development and prototype manufacturing of new OC-192 and OC-768 components. Production for some of these next-generation products is anticipated to increase in the coming quarters.

Teledyne Technologies currently forecasts year-over-year revenue growth in 2001 of between 4% and 8% for our Electronics and Communications segment and revenue growth of between 3% and 5% for our Systems Engineering Solutions segment. However, based on the current level of orders for aftermarket piston engines and high-margin piston engine spare parts, coupled with the previously announced events in the turbine engine market, we forecast a year-over-year revenue decline of 15% to 25% for our Aerospace Engines and Components segment.

Although the outlined restructuring activities should improve profitability in each of the following quarters, we currently do not expect operating profit to improve at the rates previously forecast. Based on our current outlook, we now estimate that second quarter and full year 2001 earnings per share, excluding one-time charges, will be in the range of approximately $0.16 to $0.18 and $0.70 to $0.80, respectively.

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Outlook and Forward-Looking Information

From time to time the Company makes, and this report contains, forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to earnings, growth opportunities, capital investments and strategic plans. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Many factors, including the extent and timing of orders and acceptance of fiber optic and other products by customers (including service providers), continued outsourced manufacturing of optoelectronic products, the extent and timing of cost reduction efforts and any facility consolidations, funding and continuation of government programs and economic and political conditions, could change the anticipated results. The individual actions underway to improve operating performance are subject to many variables as well. No assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to execute timely all or some of these actions or the aggregate result. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Teledyne Technologies’ 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors”. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” included in Teledyne Technologies’ 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. At April 1, 2001, there were no hedging contracts outstanding.

PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

In the third quarter of 2000, Teledyne Technologies received net proceeds of approximately $84.0 million from an underwritten public offering of 4,605,000 shares of its Common Stock. Such offering had been required to fulfill a material requirement of the IRS ruling issued to ATI in connection with the spin-off. The effective date of the applicable registration statement (No. 333-41982) was August 16, 2000.

In the 2000 Form 10-K, the Company described its use of the net proceeds through December 31, 2000 and stated $38.9 million of the net proceeds remained to be used at December 31, 2000. Consistent with the IRS ruling, in the first quarter of 2001, Teledyne Technologies spent: $14.4 million for product development and enhancements and process improvements; $9.4 million for capital and facility improvements; and $2.9 million for acquisitions and/or joint ventures. These spending levels have exceeded the Company’s average quarterly historical expenditures of $14.8 million for these types of uses. The increased spending level was funded from the net proceeds of the offering. At April 1, 2001, $24.1 million of the net proceeds remain to be used.

Nothing in this Employment Agreement shall be construed as preventing the amendment or termination of any such plan, policy or arrangement by the Company (including those referred to in paragraph 4.b. hereof) so long as such amendment or termination affects all executive employees of the Company then participating.

      6. Non-Qualified Pension Arrangement. In addition to the employee benefits described in Section 5, the Company will pay to the Executive (or his designee if amounts are payable after the death of the Executive) following his Retirement (as defined below), as payments supplemental to any accrued pension under the Company’s qualified pension plan, an annual amount, paid in equal monthly installments, equal to 50% of his Base Compensation at the rate in effect on the date of his Retirement. Such annual amount shall be paid each year for a number of years following his Retirement equal to the number of whole and fractional years of service, not in excess of ten (10), the Executive has rendered to the Company (including the period from August, 1997 through and including November, 1999 rendered as service to the Company’s predecessor, Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated). For purposes of Section 6 of this Employment Agreement and without effect upon whether the Executive is deemed to be retired under the CIC Agreement, the Executive will be deemed to have a Retirement upon his separation from service with the Company for any reason other than for Cause.

      7. Binding Agreement. The Company will use its best efforts to require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Employment Agreement and the CIC Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause for purposes of this Employment Agreement and the CIC Agreement. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be the Date of Termination.
