Exhibit 10.14
LOCKHEED MARTIN
CORPORATION
DEFERRED MANAGEMENT
INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective
February 26, 2009)
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 or losses
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 or losses 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 to 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 was 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.
The Deferral Plan was amended and restated, effective
December 31, 2008, to clarify additional provisions in
accordance with the final Treasury regulations issued under Code
section 409A and to make other administrative
clarifications.
The Deferral Plan is hereby amended
and restated, effective February 26, 2009, to prospectively
eliminate an investment option and change the number of available
installment payments.

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 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
5
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.
(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, the Company Stock Investment Option, or the
Investment Fund 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

Eligible Employee for any other Long Term Incentive Awards granted
to that Eligible Employee with respect to that same Performance
Period.

Pursuant to the terms of the Long Term Incentive Awards, 50% of the

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
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.
ARTICLE IV

ACCOUNTS
1. Crediting of Deferred
Compensation . Incentive Compensation or a Long Term Incentive
Award payment, that a Participant has elected to defer under this
Deferral Plan shall be credited to the Participant’s Account
as of the Trading Day set by action of the Committee or, if the
Committee does not act to set such a day, 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 the amount of
the Death Benefit payment was determined and paid to eligible
employees absent any election to defer. If the Company establishes

Article III, the Company Deferrals shall be credited to such
account as of the last Trading Day in the Performance Period. Any
Deferred Compensation credits under this 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

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
Investment Fund Option shall be credited as if the dollar amount of
credits had been invested in the applicable fund 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 (or losses) 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.
7

Participant’s Account in cash pursuant to Article V shall be
credited with earnings (or losses) through the Trading Day that is
four (4) business days prior to the date on which a
distribution is to be made. Any amount distributed from a
Participant’s Account in stock pursuant to Article V shall be
credited with earnings (or losses) through the last Trading Day
preceding the date on which a distribution is to be
made.
(iii) Company Deferrals shall be
credited with earnings (or losses) 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.
(b) Interest Option . The
portion of a Participant’s Account allocated or reallocated
to the Interest Option shall be credited with interest, valued
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. Effective with respect to amounts deferred on or after
February 26, 2009, no Incentive Compensation may be invested
in the Interest Option. Amounts deferred prior to February 26,
2009 may remain invested in the Interest Option until such amounts
are transferred to the Company Stock Investment Option or the
Investment Fund Option on or after July 1, 2009. No amounts
may be credited or reallocated to the Interest Option on or after
July 1, 2009.
(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.
8
(d) Investment Fund Option .
Earnings (or losses) shall be credited to a Participant’s
Account based on the investment option or options within the
Investment Fund Option to which his or her Account has been
allocated. The manner in which earnings (or losses) 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 Investment Fund Option shall be the same as the
procedures for making allocations under the Qualified Savings

Investment Option, and the various investment funds in the
Investment Fund Option, subject to the trading restrictions that
apply 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 has been 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). No amounts may be credited or reallocated to the
Interest Option on or after July 1, 2009.

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
Investment Fund 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, Investment Fund 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 (or withheld for payment of applicable taxes)
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 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).
10
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.
(b) Annual installment payments for
a period of years designated by the Participant not to
exceed:
(i) Fifteen (15) annual
installments for distributions commencing prior to January 1,
2008:
(ii) Twenty (20) annual
installments for distributions commencing on or after
January 1, 2008 and prior to January 1, 2010:
(iii) Twenty-Five (25) annual
installments for distributions commencing on or after
January 1, 2010;
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 in full
discharge of all liabilities with respect to such
benefits.
11
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 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.
12
5. Distribution upon Early
Termination . Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment
elections under this Article V, subject to the requirements of Code
section 409A, 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; provided, however, that if a distribution in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6 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. Distributions under
this Section 5 are subject to any delay in distribution
required for Specified Employees 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; provided, however, that if a distribution in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6 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. This Section 6
of Article V shall apply, however, only to the extent that the
accelerated payment upon a conflict of interest determination
conforms to Code section 409A.
13
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
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 severe financial
emergency (within the meaning of Code section 409A(A)(2)(A)(vi) and
409A(A)(2)((B)(ii)) 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)(2)(B)(iv).
(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
14
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
15
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 Code section 409A, 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.
16
11. Change of Law .
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Committee
determines in good faith, based on consultation with counsel and in
accordance with the requirements of Code section 409A, 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,
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, former spouse, or child pursuant to the terms of
a domestic relations order (which shall be interpreted and
administered in accordance with Code sections 414(p)(1)(B) and
409A), provided that the form of payment designated in such order
is a lump sum payment described in Section 3(a) of Article V
of this Deferral Plan.
17
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 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
18
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 has delegated 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 has not delegated (and 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
