<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), has
heretofore adopted and maintains the Harris Corporation 1997 Directors&#146;
Deferred Compensation and Annual Stock Unit Award Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) to provide
certain benefits to the members of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors who are not
employees of the Company (capitalized terms not defined in this amendment
having the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan); and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Plan is classified as a &#147;nonqualified deferred compensation
plan&#148; under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;); and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 added a new Section&nbsp;409A
of the Code which is effective for amounts deferred after December&nbsp;31, 2004,
under certain deferred compensation plans and for amounts deferred under
certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans that were in existence on
October&nbsp;3, 2004, and that are materially modified thereafter in a manner not
permitted under guidance to be published by the U.S. Treasury Department; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company desires that all compensation deferred by members of
the Board of Directors of the Company under the Plan not be subject to Section
409A of the Code; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company therefore desires to amend the Plan to cease all
deferrals of Director Compensation and awards of Annual Units provided under
the Plan, effective as of December&nbsp;31, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the power of amendment contained in Section&nbsp;12
of the Plan, the Plan hereby is amended, effective as of December&nbsp;31, 2004, as
