LOCKHEED MARTIN
CORPORATION
DEFERRED
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION
PLAN
(As Amended and
Restated Effective June 26, 2008)
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”); (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”); and
(iii) certain benefits payable under the Lockheed Martin
Corporation Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan for Elected Officers
(“Death Benefit 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,
the IPA Plan, and the Death Benefit Plan shall be construed and
applied independently of each other.
The Deferral Plan
applies solely to MICP awards, Long Term Incentive Award payments
under the Omnibus Plan and the IPA Plan, and certain payments under
the Death Benefit 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
was amended and restated, effective January 1, 2005, in order
to comply with the requirements of Code section 409A. The 2005
amendment and restatement of the Deferral Plan applied 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. The
Deferral Plan was subsequently amended and restated, effective
January 1, 2007, to permit eligible executives of the Company
to defer payments that are available to them pursuant to the
partial termination of the Death Benefit Plan.
The Deferral Plan
was amended and restated, effective January 1, 2008 to modify
the annual installment payment option to conform with other
nonqualified plans maintained by the Company. The Deferral Plan and
Appendix A were further amended and restated, effective
January 1, 2008, to provide for new investment options in
which Participants may invest their
Account Balances, whether
earned and vested before or after January 1, 2005. The
addition of the new investment option in Appendix A is not intended
to constitute a material modification within the meaning of Code
section 409A.
The Deferral Plan
is hereby amended and restated, effective June 26, 2008, to
clarify certain provisions in accordance with the final Treasury
regulations issued under Code section 409A and to make other
administrative changes.

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

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 after the
applicable deadline described in Section 1(a),
Section 1(b), or Section 1(d) of this Article III for
delivering a Deferral Agreement to the Company, 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 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 that relates to an Award Year 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. A Deferral Agreement relating to a Death Benefit
payment shall relate only to such Death Benefit payment.
5
(d) Death
Benefit . An Eligible Employee may elect to defer a Death
Benefit payable under the Death Benefit Plan by executing and
delivering to the Company a Deferral Agreement no later than the
date specified by the Senior Vice President, Human Resources in
accordance with Code section 409A.
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, Long Term Incentive Award
payment, or Death Benefit payment;
(c) the excess of
the Eligible Employee’s Incentive Compensation, Long Term
Incentive Award payment, or Death Benefit payment over a dollar
amount specified by the Eligible Employee; or
(d) all of the
Eligible Employee’s Incentive Compensation, Long Term
Incentive Award payment, or Death Benefit 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 or 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

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 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
6
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.

on the second Trading Day which follows the date of approval of the
related Incentive Compensation or Long Term Incentive Award payment
(other than Company Deferrals). A Death Benefit payment that a
Participant has elected to defer under this Deferral Plan shall be
credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date on which

credited to such account as of the last Trading Day in the

Section 1 which are allocable to the Interest Option shall be
credited at the dollar amount of such credits. Any Deferred
Compensation and Company Deferral credits under this Section 1
which are allocable to the Company Stock Investment Option shall be
credited as if the dollar amount of credits had been invested in
the Company’s Common Stock at the published closing price of
the Company’s Common Stock on the applicable Trading Day
described in this Section 1. Any Deferred Compensation and
Company Deferral credits under this Section 1 which are
allocable to the Fund Investment Option shall be credited as if the

at the published closing price of the applicable fund on the
applicable Trading Day described in this Section 1.
2. Crediting
of Earnings .
(a) General
Rules .
(i) Earnings
shall be credited to a Participant’s Account based on the
investment option or options to which the Account has been
allocated beginning with the applicable Trading Day described in
this Article IV.

distributed from a Participant’s Account pursuant to Article
V shall be credited with earnings through the Trading Day that is
four (4) business days prior to the Payment Date on which a
distribution is to be made.
(iii) Company
Deferrals shall be credited with earnings through the last Trading
Day in the period which ends on the second anniversary of the end
of the applicable Performance Period unless deferred further
pursuant to a Deferral Agreement.
7
(b) Interest
Option . The portion of a Participant’s Account allocated
or reallocated to the Interest Option shall be credited with
interest, compounded daily, while so allocated or reallocated at a
rate equivalent to the then published rate for computing the
present value of future benefits at the time cost is assignable
under Cost Accounting Standard 415, Deferred Compensation, as
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury on a semi-annual basis
pursuant to Pub. L. 92-41, 85 Stat. 97.
(c) Company
Stock Investment Option .
(i) The portion
of a Participant’s Account allocated to the Company Stock
Investment Option shall be credited when so allocated on the
applicable Trading Day described in this Article IV as if such
amount had been invested in the Company’s Common Stock at the
published closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on such
Trading Day.
(ii) The portion
of the Participant’s Account Balance allocated to the Company
Stock Investment Option shall reflect any post-allocation
appreciation or depreciation in the market value of the
Company’s Common Stock based on the published closing price
of the stock on each Trading Day and shall reflect dividends paid
and any 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) Fund
Investment Option . Earnings shall be credited to a
Participant’s Account based on the investment option or
options within the Fund Investment Option to which his or her
Account has been allocated. The manner in which earnings are
credited under each of the investment options shall be determined
in the same manner as under the Qualified Savings Plan. The
procedures for directing the allocation and reallocation among the
investment options in the Fund Investment Option shall be the same
as the procedures for making allocations under the Qualified
Savings Plan.
2. Election of
Investment Options . A Participant’s initial investment
elections for a particular type of award for an Award Year or a
Death Benefit shall be made in his or her Deferral Agreement for
such Award Year or Death Benefit, 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.

3. Reallocation
Among Investment Options . Effective June 16, 2008

to the transfer and reallocation of investments under the terms of
the Qualified Savings Plan, applied as if such Qualified Savings
Plan restrictions also pertain to the Interest Option; provided
that a Participant may not at any time reallocate the portion of
his Account Balance that is invested at any time in the Company
Stock Investment Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
election by a Section 16 Person to reallocate any portion of
his Account Balance to the Company Stock Investment Option shall
only become effective if the election is made at least six months
following the most recent election with respect to any plan of the
Corporation that involved the disposition of the
Corporation’s equity securities pursuant to a
“Discretionary Transaction” (as defined in Exchange Act
Rule 16b-3).
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 Fund Investment 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, Fund Investment 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 attributable to the Company Stock Investment Option
shall be distributed to a Section 16 Person under this
Deferral Plan unless such amount was allocated to the Company Stock
Investment Option 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
9
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.
(c) Payment to
begin on the first Payment Date of the year 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.
No payment shall
commence or be made under this Section 2 unless the
Participant’s termination of employment constitutes a
“separation from service” under Code section
409A(a)(2)(a)(i).
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. Subject to the
rules regarding distributions to a Specified Employee, 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 (including a Section 16 Person) on
account of a termination of employment shall commence or be made 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, distributions shall
commence or be made on the next date that is at least six
(6) months following such termination of employment,
regardless of whether such date is a Payment Date.
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 or
Death Benefit, as applicable, from among the following
options:
(a) A lump
sum.
10
(b) Annual
installment payments for a period of years designated by the
Participant, which, for distributions commencing prior to
January 1, 2008, shall not exceed fifteen (15) annual
installments, and for distributions commencing on or after
January 1, 2008, shall not exceed twenty (20) 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 or
for a Death Benefit, the Participant will be deemed to have elected
that payment of benefits with respect to that Award Year or Death
Benefit be made in a lump sum on or about the Payment Date next
following the date of the Participant’s termination of
employment.
(c) A
Participant’s election with respect to an Award Year or Death
Benefit (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 Award Years or a Death Benefit 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
11
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,
2009, (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.
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. Benefits
Payable Upon Death . 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
12
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 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 result of the merger, combination,
consolidation, recapitalization or other reorganization, less than
75% of the outstanding voting 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
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).
14
(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, 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
15
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, Long Term Incentive Award, or Death Benefit
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.
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 or its authorized delegate 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
16
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 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 and the Claims
Administrator (identified in Section 6 below) shall have full
authority to interpret the Plan, and interpretations of the Plan by
the Committee or the Claims Administrator 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
17
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 or its delegate 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 or the Claims Administrator 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 (or the Claims
Administrator) from all liability with respect thereto.
5. Proof of
Claims . The Committee or the Claims Administrator 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 Claims Administrator are
as follows:
(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
