LOCKHEED MARTIN
CORPORATION
DEFERRED MANAGEMENT
INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective
January 1, 2005)
ARTICLE I
PURPOSES OF THE
PLAN
The purposes of the Lockheed Martin
Corporation Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“Deferral Plan’) are to provide certain key management
employees of Lockheed Martin Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) the opportunity to defer receipt of
(i) Incentive Compensation awards under the Lockheed Martin
Corporation Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“MICP”) and (ii) Long Term Incentive Award
payments under the Lockheed Martin Corporation 1995 Omnibus
Performance Award Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and the
Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive
Performance Award Plan (the “IPA Plan”). Providing this
opportunity to defer income under the Deferral Plan will encourage
key employees to maintain a financial interest in the
Company’s performance. Except as expressly provided
hereinafter, the provisions of this Deferral Plan and the MICP, the
Omnibus Plan and the IPA Plan shall be construed and applied
independently of each other.
The Deferral Plan applies solely to
MICP awards and Long Term Incentive Award payments under the
Omnibus Plan and the IPA Plan and expressly does not apply to any
special awards which may be made under any of the Company’s
other incentive plans, except and to the extent specifically
provided under the terms of such other incentive plans and the
relevant awards.
The Deferral Plan is amended and
restated, effective January 1, 2005, in order to comply with
the requirements of Code section 409A. This amendment and
restatement of the Deferral Plan shall apply only to the portion of
a Participant’s Account Balance that is earned or becomes
vested on or after January 1, 2005 (and any earnings
attributable to that portion). The portion of a Participant’s
Account Balance that was earned and vested prior to January 1,
2005 (and any earnings attributable to that portion) shall be
governed by the terms of the Deferral Plan in effect on
December 31, 2004, which is attached hereto as Appendix
A.

ELECTION OF DEFERRED
AMOUNT
1. Timing of Deferral

An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Incentive Compensation for
an Award Year by executing and delivering to the Company a Deferral
Agreement no later than June 30 of the Award Year.
(b) Long Term Incentive Awards
and Company Deferrals . An Eligible Employee may elect to defer
the payment of a Long Term Incentive Award and a Company Deferral
for an Award Year by executing and delivering to the Company a
Deferral Agreement as of a date specified by the Senior Vice
President, Human Resources, which shall be no later than six months
prior to the end of the performance period.
(c) Irrevocability of
Elections . No Eligible Employee shall have the right to modify
or revoke a Deferral Agreement for an Award Year after the
applicable deadline described in Section 1(a) and
Section 1(b) of this Article III for delivering a Deferral
Agreement to the Company for such Award Year, provided no
Section 16 Person shall have the right to modify or revoke a
Deferral Agreement after such applicable deadline or, if earlier,
after the date the
- 4 -
agreement has been delivered to the
Company. The Senior Vice President, Human Resources may establish
policies and procedures to determine when a Deferral Agreement or
other election called for under this Plan has been delivered to the
Company. Each Deferral Agreement shall apply only to amounts
deferred in that Award Year and a separate Deferral Agreement must
be completed for each Award Year for which an Eligible Employee
defers Incentive Compensation or a Long Term Incentive
Award.
2. Amount of Deferral
Elections . An Eligible Employee’s deferral election may
be stated as:
(a) a dollar amount which is at
least $5,000 and is an even multiple of $1,000;
(b) the greater of $5,000 or a
designated percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Incentive
Compensation or Long Term Incentive Award payment;
(c) the excess of the Eligible
Employee’s Incentive Compensation or Long Term Incentive
Award payment over a dollar amount specified by the Eligible
Employee; or
(d) all of the Eligible
Employee’s Incentive Compensation or Long Term Incentive
Award payment.
In the case of a deferral election
under paragraph (c) of this Section 2, an Eligible
Employee’s deferral election shall be effective only if the
resulting excess amount is at least $5,000.
3. Effect of Taxes on Deferred
Compensation . The amount that would otherwise be deferred and
credited to an Eligible Employee’s Account will be reduced by
the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with
respect to the Deferred Compensation. The reduction for taxes shall
be made proportionately out of amounts otherwise allocable to the
Interest Option and the Company Stock Investment Option.
4. Multiple Awards . In the
case of an Eligible Employee who receives more than one Long Term
Incentive Award with respect to the same Performance Period, the
elections made by the Eligible Employee under this Article III as
well as under Articles V and VI for the first Long Term Incentive
Award granted to the Eligible Employee with respect to a
Performance Period shall be deemed to be the elections made by that
Eligible Employee for any other Long Term Incentive Awards granted
to that Eligible Employee with respect to that same Performance
Period.
5. Company Deferrals .
Pursuant to the terms of the Long Term Incentive Awards, 50% of the
amount payable at the end of the Performance Period will be
automatically deferred until the second anniversary of the last day
of the Performance Period with respect to a particular award. The
Company may establish an account for Company Deferrals under the
Company Stock Investment Option of this Deferral Plan. However, the
terms governing the Company Deferrals will be governed for the two
year period of deferral by the terms of the award agreement entered
into under the Omnibus Plan or the IPA Plan with respect to the
Long
- 5 -
Term Incentive Award and not by this Deferral
Plan except to the extent the award agreement expressly refers to
the terms of this Deferral Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Participant elects to defer the Company Deferrals beyond the
second anniversary of the end of the Performance Period, the
deferrals will be treated as made under this Deferral Plan for the
period following the second anniversary of the end of the
Performance Period.

which follows the date of approval of the related Incentive
Compensation or Long Term Incentive Award payment (other than
Company Deferrals). If the Company establishes an account for
Company Deferrals pursuant to Section 5 of Article III, the

of the Treasury on a semi-annual basis pursuant to Pub. L. 92-41,

(c) Company Stock Investment
Option .
(i) The portion of a
Participant’s Account allocated to the Company Stock

Participant’s Account Balance allocated to the Company Stock
Investment Option shall reflect any post-allocation appreciation or

other distributions made with respect to the Company’s Common
Stock.
(iii) Cash dividends shall be
treated as if such dividends had been reinvested in the
Company’s Common Stock at the published closing price of the
Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day on which the cash
dividend is paid or, if the dividend is paid on a day which is not
a Trading Day, on the Trading Day which immediately precedes the
day the dividend is paid.
(d) Interest Crediting For Late
Payments From Interest Option . If any part of a
Participant’s Account is allocated to the Interest Option as
of a Payment Date and payment does not commence by the last day of
the month in which the Payment Date occurs, earnings shall be
credited on such part of the Participant’s Account from the
last day of the month preceding the Payment Date to the last day of
the month preceding the month the late payment actually is made at
the rate set forth under Section 2(b) of this Article IV. All
the interest credited under this Section 2(d) of this Article
IV with respect to a late payment shall be paid on the date the
late payment is first made.
3. Election of Investment
Options . A Participant’s investment elections for a
particular type of award for an Award Year shall be made in his or
her Deferral Agreement for such Award Year, and no Participant
shall have the right to modify or revoke any such election after
the time the Participant no longer has the right to make or revoke
a Deferral Agreement under Section 1 of Article II. A
Participant’s allocations between investment options shall be
subject to such minimum allocations as the Committee may establish.
In the event a Participant fails to specify an investment election
in his or her Deferral Agreement, the amount subject to that
Deferral Agreement shall be deemed allocated to the Interest
Option.
- 7 -
ARTICLE V
PAYMENT OF
BENEFITS
1. General .
(a) Account Balance and
Elections . The Company’s liability to pay benefits to a
Participant or Beneficiary under this Deferral Plan shall be
measured by and shall in no event exceed the Participant’s
Account Balance. Except as otherwise provided in this Deferral Plan
(including but not limited to Section 5 of Article III with
respect to Company Deferrals), a Participant’s Account
Balance shall be paid to him in accordance with the
Participant’s elections under this Article V.
(b) Cash and Stock Payments .
All benefit payments shall be made in cash to the extent a
Participant’s Account is allocated to the Interest Option or
is attributable to Company Deferrals and shall be made in whole
shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the extent that a
Participant’s Account is allocated to the Company Stock
Investment Option (other than with respect to Company Deferrals)
and, except as otherwise provided, shall reduce allocations to the
Interest Option and the Company Stock Investment Option in the same
proportions that the Participant’s Account Balance is
allocated between those investment options at the end of the month
preceding the date of distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no amount of Deferred Compensation shall be distributed to a
Section 16 Person under this Deferral Plan unless such amount
was allocated to the Participant’s Account in accordance with
Section 1 of Article IV at least six months prior to the date
of distribution. At the Company’s discretion a distribution
of Common Stock may be made directly to a Participant or to a
brokerage account opened in the name of the Participant. When an
Account is distributed in a lump sum or, if an Account is
distributed in installments, cash shall be distributed at that time
in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock. The cash
distribution in lieu of fractional shares shall be based on the
published closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the
last Trading Day of the month preceding the date the distribution
is scheduled to be made.
2. Election for Commencement of
Payment . At the time a Participant completes a Deferral
Agreement, he or she shall elect from among the following options
governing the date on which the payment of benefits shall
commence:
(a) Payment to begin on the Payment
Date next following the date of the Participant’s termination
of employment with the Company for any reason.
(b) Payment to begin on the first
Payment Date of the year next following the year in which the
Participant terminates employment with the Company for any
reason.
- 8 -
(c) Payment to begin on the Payment
Date next following the date on which the Participant has both
terminated employment with the Company for any reason and attained
the age designated by the Participant in the Deferral
Agreement.
Notwithstanding a
Participant’s election or any other provision of the Deferral
Plan, the following specific rules apply to Participants who are
Section 16 Persons or Specified Employees. Any payment of
benefits in the form of shares of Common Stock that would result in
a nonexempt short-swing transaction under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act shall be delayed until the earliest date upon which
the distribution either would not result in a nonexempt short-swing
transaction or would otherwise not result in liability under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Any distributions to a
Specified Employee on account of a termination of employment shall
commence on the Payment Date determined pursuant to the Specified
Employee’s election (or as otherwise provided under this
Deferral Plan), except that if such Payment Date would be within
six (6) months of the date of the Specified Employee’s
termination of employment from the Company, commencement or
distribution of benefits shall be made or commence on the next
Payment Date that is at least six (6) months following such
termination of employment.
3. Election for Form of
Payment . At the time a Participant completes a Deferral
Agreement, he or she shall elect the form of payment of his or her
Deferred Compensation for the specified Award Year from among the
following options:
(a) A lump sum.
(b) Annual installment payments for
a period of years designated by the Participant, which shall not
exceed fifteen (15) annual installments. The amount of each
annual payment shall be determined by dividing the
Participant’s Account Balance at the end of the month prior
to such payment by the number of installment payments then
remaining in the designated installment period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Account Balance of a Participant who is entitled to begin
payment equals $10,000 or less, the Participant’s Account
Balance shall be paid in a single lump sum payment as soon as
administratively practicable in full discharge of all liabilities
with respect to such benefits.
4. Prospective Change of Payment
Elections .
(a) If a Participant has different
payment options in effect with respect to his or her Account
Balance, the Company shall maintain sub-accounts for the
Participant to determine the amounts subject to each payment
election.
(b) In the event a Participant does
not make a valid election with respect to the commencement of
payment and form of benefit for an Award Year, the Participant will
be deemed to have elected that payment of benefits with respect to
that Award Year be made in a lump sum on or about the Payment Date
next following the date of the Participant’s termination of
employment.
- 9 -
(c) A Participant’s election
with respect to an Award Year (including a “deemed
election” in accordance with the preceding paragraph) shall
remain in effect unless and until such election is modified by a
subsequent election in accordance with (d) below.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article V, a Participant may make a new election
with respect to the commencement of payment and form of payment
with respect to any sub-account maintained for Awards or with
respect to his or her entire Account Balance. A new election under
this section shall be made by executing and delivering to the
Company an election in such form as prescribed by the Company. To
constitute a valid election by a Participant making a prospective
change to a previous election, (i) the prospective election
must be executed and delivered to the Company at least twelve
(12) months before the date the first payment would be due
under the Participant’s previous election, and (ii) the
first payment must be delayed by at least sixty (60) months
from the date the first payment would be due under the
Participant’s previous election, and (iii) such change
in election shall not be given effect until twelve 12 months from
the date that the change in election is delivered to the Company.
In the event an election fails to satisfy the provisions set forth
in this paragraph, such election shall be void and, if such an
election is void, payment shall be made in accordance with the most
recent election which was valid.
(e) Notwithstanding the above, for
periods prior to January 1, 2007, (or such later date as may
be provided by the Internal Revenue Service in guidance of general
applicability), the Senior Vice President, Human Resources may
provide alternative rules for elections with respect to the
commencement of payment and form of payment that conform to the
rules provided in Notice 2005-1, and subsequent Internal Revenue
Service guidance providing transition relief under Code section
409A.
(f) A Participant may not make or
modify an election with respect to commencement of payment or form
of payment after the date a Participant terminates
employment.
5. Acceleration upon Early
Termination . Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment
elections under this Article V, if the Participant terminates
employment with the Company, other than by reason of death or
disability (as defined in Section 8(b) of this Article V), and
before the Participant has attained age 55, except as provided in
Section 5 of Article III with respect to Company Deferrals,
the Participant’s Account Balance shall be distributed to him
or her in a lump sum on or about the Payment Date next following
the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with
the Company. Distributions under this Section 5 are limited by
Section 1 of Article VIII, by any delay in distribution
required for Specified Employees as provided in Section 2 of
this Article V and, further, by any delay in distribution required
to avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as
provided in Section 2 of this Article V.
- 10 -
6. Acceleration Upon Conflict of
Interest . Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment
elections under this Article V, if following a Participant’s
termination of employment with the Company, the Participant takes a
position (or accepts a position) with a governmental entity,
agency, or instrumentality and that employer has determined that
the Participant’s continued participation in the Plan may
constitute a conflict of interest precluding the Participant from
continuing in his position (or from accepting an offered position)
with that employer or subjecting the Participant to penalty,
sanction, or otherwise limiting the Participant’s
responsibilities for that employer, except as provided in
Section 5 of Article III with respect to Company Deferrals,
then the Participant’s Account Balance shall be distributed
to him or her in a lump sum as soon as practical following the
later of (i) the date on which the Participant commences
employment with the government employer; or (ii) the date on
which it is determined or indicated that the conflict of interest
may exist. This Section 6 of Article V shall apply, however,
only to the extent that the accelerated payment upon a
conflict-of-interest determination conforms with Code section
409A.
7. Death Benefits . Upon the
death of a Participant before a complete distribution of his or her
Account Balance, the Account Balance will be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the payment
elections applicable to the Participant. If a Participant dies
while actively employed or otherwise before the payment of benefits
has commenced, payments to the Beneficiary shall commence on the
date payments to the Participant would have commenced, taking
account of the Participant’s termination of employment (by
death or before) and, if applicable, by postponing commencement
until after the date the Participant would have attained the
commencement age specified by the Participant. Whether the
Participant dies before or after the commencement of distributions,
payments to the Beneficiary shall be made for the period or
remaining period elected by the Participant.
8. Early Distributions in Special
Circumstances . Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment
elections under this Article V, a Participant or Beneficiary may
request an earlier distribution in the following limited
circumstances (except as provided in Section 5 of Article III
with respect to Company Deferrals):
(a) Hardship Distributions .
A Participant may apply for a hardship distribution pursuant to
this Section 8(a) on such form and in such manner as the
Committee shall prescribe and, subject to the last sentence of this
Section 8(a) with respect to Section 16 Persons, the
Committee shall have the power and discretion at any time to
approve a payment to a Participant if the Committee determines that
the Participant is suffering from an unforeseeable serious
financial emergency caused by circumstances beyond the
Participant’s control which would cause a hardship to the
Participant unless such payment were made. Any such hardship
payment will be in a lump sum and will not exceed the lesser of
(i) the amount necessary to satisfy the financial emergency
(taking account of the income tax liability associated with the
distribution), or (ii) the Participant’s Account
Balance; provided, however, that if a distribution in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8(a) from the portion of
the Participant’s Account allocated to the Company Stock
Investment Option would otherwise result in a nonexempt short-swing
transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the date
of distribution with respect to such portion to such
Section 16 Person shall be
- 11 -
delayed until the earliest date upon
which the distribution either would not result in a nonexempt
short-swing transaction or would otherwise not result in liability
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Committee’s
determination under this Section 8(a) shall conform to the
requirements of Code section 409A(a).
(b) Disability . If the
Committee determines that a Participant has become permanently
disabled within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the
Code before the Participant’s entire Account Balance has been
distributed, the Participant’s remaining Account Balance will
be distributed in a lump sum payment; provided, however, that if a
distribution in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8(b) from the portion of the Participant’s
Account allocated to the Company Stock Investment Option would
otherwise result in a nonexempt short-swing transaction under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the date of distribution
with respect to such portion to any Section 16 Person shall be
delayed until the earliest date upon which the distribution either
would not result in a nonexempt short-swing transaction or would
otherwise not result in liability under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act.
9. Acceleration upon Change in
Control .
(a) Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Deferral Plan, except as provided in
Section 5 of Article III with respect to Company Deferrals,
the Account Balance of each Participant shall be distributed in a
single lump sum within fifteen (15) calendar days following a
“Change in Control.”
(b) For purposes of this Deferral
Plan, a Change in Control shall include and be deemed to occur upon
the following events:
(i) A tender offer or exchange offer
is consummated for the ownership of securities of the Company
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
in the election of directors of the Company.
(ii) The Company is merged,
combined, consolidated, recapitalized or otherwise reorganized with
one or more other entities that are not Subsidiaries and, as a

securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall
immediately after the event be owned in the aggregate by the
stockholders of the Company (directly or indirectly), determined on
the basis of record ownership as of the date of determination of
holders entitled to vote on the action (or in the absence of a
vote, the day immediately prior to the event)
(iii) Any person (as this term is
used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, but
excluding any person described in and satisfying the conditions of
Rule 13d-1 (b)(1) thereunder), becomes the
- 12 -
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities
entitled to vote in the election of directors of the
Company.
(iv) At any time within any period
of two years after a tender offer, merger, combination,
consolidation, recapitalization, or other reorganization or a
contested election, or any combination of these events, the
“Incumbent Directors” shall cease to constitute at
least a majority of the authorized number of members of the Board.
For purposes hereof, “Incumbent Directors” shall mean
the persons who were members of the Board immediately before the
first of these events and the persons who were elected or nominated
as their successors or pursuant to increases in the size of the
Board by a vote of at least three-fourths of the Board members who
were then Board members (or successors or additional members so
elected or nominated)
(v) The stockholders of the Company
approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution or the sale or
transfer of substantially all of the Company’s business
and/or assets as an entirety to an entity that is not a
Subsidiary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
distribution shall be made solely on account of a Change in Control
and prior to the benefit commencement date specified in
Section 2 of Article V unless the Change in Control is an
event qualifying for a distribution of deferred compensation under
both the definition of Change in Control in this Plan and in
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 9(a), if a distribution in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9(a) would result in a nonexempt
short-swing transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act with respect to any Section 16 Person, then the date of
distribution to such Section 16 Person shall be delayed until
the earliest date upon which the distribution either would not
result in a nonexempt short-swing transaction or would otherwise
not result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act.
(d) This Section 9 shall apply
only to a Change in Control of Lockheed Martin Corporation and
shall not cause immediate payout of Deferred Compensation in any
transaction involving the Company’s sale, liquidation,
merger, or other disposition of any subsidiary.
(e) The Committee may cancel or
modify this Section 9 at any time prior to a Change in
Control. In the event of a Change in Control, this Section 9
shall remain in force and effect, and shall not be subject to
cancellation or modification for a period of five years, and any
defined term used in Section 9 shall not, for purposes of
Section 9, be subject to cancellation or modification during
the five-year period.

10. Deductibility of Payments
. Subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article VIII, in
the event that the payment of benefits in accordance with the
Participant’s elections under this Article V would prevent
the Company from claiming an income tax deduction with respect to
any portion of the benefits paid, the Committee shall have the
right to modify the timing of distributions from the
Participant’s Account as necessary to maximize the
Company’s tax deductions. In the exercise of its discretion
to adopt a modified distribution schedule, the Committee shall
undertake to have distributions made at such times and in such
amounts as most closely approximate the Participant’s
elections, consistent with the objective of maximum deductibility
for the Company. The Committee shall have no authority to reduce a
Participant’s Account Balance or to pay aggregate benefits
less than the Participant’s Account Balance in the event that
all or a portion thereof would not be deductible by the
Company.
11. Change of Law . Subject
to the provisions of Section 1 of Article VIII,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Committee
determines in good faith, based on consultation with counsel, that
the federal income tax treatment or legal status of the Plan has or
may be adversely affected by a change in the Code, Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or other
applicable law or by an administrative or judicial construction
thereof, the Committee may direct that the Accounts of affected
Participants or of all Participants be distributed as soon as
practicable after such determination is made, to the extent deemed
necessary or advisable by the Committee to cure or mitigate the
consequences, or possible consequences of, such change in law or
interpretation thereof.
12. Tax Withholding . To the
extent required by law, the Company shall withhold from benefit
payments hereunder, or with respect to any Incentive Compensation
or Long Term Incentive Award payment deferred hereunder or credit
contributed by the Company under Article IV, any Federal, state, or
local income or payroll taxes required to be withheld and shall
furnish the recipient and the applicable government agency or
agencies with such reports, statements, or information as may be
legally required.
ARTICLE VI
EXTENT OF PARTICIPANTS’
RIGHTS
1. Unfunded Status of Plan .
This Deferral Plan constitutes a mere contractual promise by the
Company to make payments in the future, and each
Participant’s rights shall be those of a general, unsecured
creditor of the Company. No Participant shall have any beneficial
interest in any specific assets that the Company may hold or set
aside in connection with this Deferral Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to assist the Company in meeting its obligations under
this Deferral Plan, the Company may set aside assets in a trust
described in Revenue Procedure 92-64, 1992-2 C.B. 422, and the
Company may direct that its obligations under this Deferral Plan be
satisfied by payments out of such trust. The assets of any such
trust will remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of
the Company. It is the Company’s intention that the Deferral
Plan be unfunded for Federal income tax purposes and for purposes
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.
- 14 -
2. Nonalienability of
Benefits . A Participant’s rights under this Plan shall
not be assignable or transferable and any purported transfer,
assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or attachment of any
payments or benefits under this Plan, or any interest therein shall
not be permitted or recognized, other than the designation of, or
passage of payment rights to, a Beneficiary. Notwithstanding, any
portion of a Participant’s benefit under this Plan may be
paid to a spouse or former spouse pursuant to the terms of a
domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)(1)(B)),
provided that the form of payment designated in such order is one
that is provided for under Section 3 of Article V of this
Deferral Plan.
ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT OR
TERMINATION
1. Amendment . The Board may
amend, modify, suspend or discontinue this Deferral Plan at any
time subject to any shareholder approval that may be required under
applicable law, provided, however, that no such amendment shall
have the effect of reducing a Participant’s Account Balance
or postponing the time when a Participant is entitled to receive a
distribution of his Account Balance. Further, no amendment may
alter the formula for crediting interest to Participants’
Accounts with respect to amounts for which deferral elections have
previously been made, unless the amended formula is not less
favorable to Participants than that previously in effect, or unless
each affected Participant consents to such change.
2. Termination . The Board
reserves the right to terminate this Plan at any time and to pay
all Participants their Account Balances in any form and at such
times that the Board reasonably determines in its discretion is
appropriate and conforms to the requirements of Code section 409A;
provided, however, that if a distribution in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2 would otherwise result in a
nonexempt short-swing transaction under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act, the date of distribution with respect to any
Section 16 Person shall be delayed until the earliest date
upon which the distribution either would not result in a nonexempt
short-swing transaction or would otherwise not result in liability
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
3. Transfer of Liability .
The Board reserves the right to transfer to another entity all of
the obligations of Company with respect to a Participant under this
Plan if such entity agrees pursuant to a binding written agreement
to assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Plan
with respect to such Participant.
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION
1. The Committee . This
Deferral Plan shall be administered by the Management Development
and Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee of
the Board as may be designated by the Board and constituted so as
to permit this Deferral Plan to comply with the disinterested
administration requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. The
members of the Committee shall be designated by the Board. A
majority of the members of
- 15 -
the Committee (but not fewer than two) shall
constitute a quorum. The vote of a majority of a quorum or the
unanimous written consent of the Committee shall constitute action
by the Committee. The Committee shall have full authority to
interpret the Plan, and interpretations of the Plan by the
Committee shall be final and binding on all parties.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deferral Plan or in any
document issued under the Deferral Plan, it is intended that the
Deferral Plan will at all times conform to the requirements of Code
section 409A and any regulations or other guidance issued
thereunder, and that the provisions of the Deferral Plan will be
interpreted to meet such requirements. If any provision of the
Deferral Plan is determined not to conform to such requirements,
the Deferral Plan shall be interpreted to omit such offending
provision.
2. Delegation and Reliance .
The Committee may delegate to the officers or employees of the
Company the authority to execute and deliver those instruments and
documents, to do all acts and things, and to take all other steps
deemed necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective
administration of this Deferral Plan in accordance with its terms
and purpose, except that the Committee may not delegate any
authority the delegation of which would cause this Deferral Plan to
fail to satisfy the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3. In
making any determination or in taking or not taking any action
under this Deferral Plan, the Committee may obtain and rely upon
the advice of experts, including professional advisors to the
Company. No member of the Committee or officer of the Company who
is a Participant hereunder may participate in any decision
specifically relating to his or her individual rights or benefits
under the Deferral Plan.
3. Exculpation and Indemnity
. Neither the Company nor any member of the Board or of the
Committee, nor any other person participating in any determination
of any question under this Deferral Plan, or in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, shall have any liability to
any party for any action taken or not taken in good faith under
this Deferral Plan or for the failure of the Deferral Plan or any
Participant’s rights under the Deferral Plan to achieve
intended tax consequences, to qualify for exemption or relief under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, or to
comply with any other law, compliance with which is not required on
the part of the Company.
4. Facility of Payment . If a
minor, person declared incompetent, or person incapable of handling
the disposition of his or her property is entitled to receive a
benefit, make an application, or make an election hereunder, the
Committee may direct that such benefits be paid to, or such
application or election be made by, the guardian, legal
representative, or person having the care and custody of such
minor, incompetent, or incapable person. Any payment made,
application allowed, or election implemented in accordance with
this Section shall completely discharge the Company and the
Committee from all liability with respect thereto.
5. Proof of Claims . The
Committee may require proof of the death, disability, incompetency,
minority, or incapacity of any Participant or Beneficiary and of
the right of a person to receive any benefit or make any
application or election.
6. Claim Procedures . The
procedures when a claim under this Deferral Plan is wholly or
partially denied by the Committee or its delegate, as applicable
(the “Claims Administrator”) are as follows:
- 16 -
(a) The Claims Administrator shall,
within 90 days after receipt of a claim, furnish to claimant a
written notice setting forth, in a manner calculated to be
understood by claimant: (1) the specific reason or reasons for
the denial; (2) specific reference to pertinent Deferral Plan
provisions on which the denial is based; (3) a description of
any additional materials or information necessary for the claimant
to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
information is necessary; (4) an explanation of the steps to
be taken if the claimant wishes to have the denial reviewed; and
(5) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil
action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse
determination on review. The 90 day period may be extended for not
more than an additional 90 days if special circumstances make such
an extension necessary. The Claims Administrator shall give the
claimant, before the end of the initial 90 day period, a written
notice of such extension, stating such special circumstances and
the date by which the Claims Administrator expects to render a
decision.
(b) By a written application filed
with the Claims Administrator within 60 days after receipt by
claimant of the written notice described in paragraph (a), the
claimant or his duly authorized representative may request review
of the denial of his claim.
(c) In connection with such review,
the claimant or his duly authorized representative may submit
issues, comments, documents, records and other information relating
to the claim for benefits to the Claims Administrator. In addition,
the claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, or other
information “relevant” to claimant’s claim for
benefits. A document, record, or other information is
“relevant” if it: (1) was relied upon in making
the benefit determination; (2) was submitted, considered or
generated in the course of making the benefit determination,
without regard to whether such document, record or information was
relied upon in making the benefit determination; or
(3) demonstrates compliance with administrative processes and
safeguards required under federal law.
(d) The Deferral Plan will provide
an impartial review that takes into account all comments, records
and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the
claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or
considered in the initial benefit determination. The Claims
Administrator shall make a decision and furnish such decision in
writing to the claimant within 60 days after receipt by the Claims
Administrator of the request for review. This period may be
extended to not more than 120 days after such receipt if special
circumstances make such an extension necessary. The claimant will
be notified in writing prior to the expiration of the original 60
day period if such an extension is required, and such notice will
include the reason for the extension and the date by which it is
expected that a decision will be reached. The decision on review
shall be in writing, set forth in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant and shall include: (1) the specific
reasons for the decision; (2) specific reference to the
pertinent Deferral Plan provisions on which
