LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION

DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

 

(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005)

 

ARTICLE I

 

PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this Plan is to give each non-employee Director of Lockheed Martin Corporation the opportunity to be compensated for his or her service as a Director on a deferred basis. The Plan is also intended to establish a method of paying Director’s compensation which will aid the Corporation in attracting and retaining as members of the Board persons whose abilities, experience and judgment can contribute to the success of the Corporation. In addition, by providing Directors with the option of accruing earnings based on the performance of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, the Plan is intended to more closely align the economic interests of Directors with the interests of stockholders generally.

 

The Plan is amended and restated, effective January 1, 2005, in order to comply with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 409A. This amendment and restatement of the 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 Plan in effect on December 31, 2004, which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

Committee means the Committee appointed to administer this Plan, as provided in Section 6.1 hereof.

PARTICIPATION

 

3.1 Timing of Deferral Elections . In order to defer Director’s fees earned in any calendar year, a Director must make a deferral election by executing and filing an Election Form by December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the fees will be earned. In the case of a new Director, an election to defer Director’s fees must be filed within 30 days after the commencement of the Director’s term of office and shall apply only to fees for services after the date of such election. The deferral election shall specify the manner in which earnings (or losses) on the deferred amount shall accrue in accordance with Section 4.2 below. To the extent that a Director elects that any portion of a deferred amount shall accrue earnings based on the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option, such an election shall be given effect only if (i) the election is irrevocably made at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of the allocation or (ii) the crediting of the deferred amount to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option has been approved by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof that is comprised of persons specified in Section 6.1). To the extent that a Director makes an election to have Deferred Compensation credited to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option which is not in compliance with (i) or (ii) above, the amount elected to be deferred into the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option shall initially be allocated to the Interest Option until such time as the allocation to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option would be in compliance with (i) or (ii) above, at which time the deferred amount shall automatically be reallocated.

3.2 Terms of Deferral Elections . A Director’s deferral election for a calendar year shall specify the percentage (which may equal 100%) of the Director’s Fees to be earned by the Director for that year which are to be deferred under this Plan and with respect to fees deferred pursuant to that election the interest crediting method selected by the Director in accordance with Article IV and the manner of distribution in accordance with Section 5.1(a). A Director’s deferral election shall be irrevocable during any calendar year in which it is in effect. A Director’s election shall remain in effect and shall be deemed to have been made for a subsequent calendar year unless the Director files a revised election form by December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the applicable Director’s Fees will be earned. If a Director files a change of election in accordance with Section 5.1(c), the manner of distribution elected under that Section will apply only to the Deferred Compensation for the calendar years listed on the Election Form.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

CREDITING OF ACCOUNTS

 

4.1 Crediting of Director’s Fees . Director’s Fees that a Director has elected to defer shall be credited to the Director’s Account as of the first day of the month in which the Director’s Fees would have been payable to the Director if no deferral election had been made under this Plan. The elected deferral percentage shall apply to all Director’s Fees earned by the Director during a calendar year.

 

4.2 Crediting of Investment Earnings . Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 above, as of the last day of each month, a Director’s Account shall be credited to reflect investment earnings (or loss) for the month, based on the Director’s investment selections under this Section 4.2. A Director may elect to have his or her Account credited with investment earnings (or losses) for each month as if the Director’s Account balance had been invested in the following:

 

(a) Interest Option. Interest at a rate equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the annual prime rate as set by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, on the last day of the preceding month.

 

(b) S&P 500 Option. A return (or loss) equal to that of the published index for the Standard & Poor’s 500 (with dividends) for the month will accrue.

 

(c) Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option. Earnings (or losses) shall be credited as if such amount had been invested in Lockheed Martin Common Stock at the published closing price of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day preceding the day as to which such amount is deferred (or reallocated) into the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option; this portion of a Director’s Account shall reflect any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the market value of Lockheed Martin Common Stock based on the published closing price of the stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each month and shall reflect dividends on the stock as if such dividends were reinvested in shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock.

 

5


(d) A combination of (a), (b) and (c).

 

A Director’s initial investment selections must be made by the date that the Director’s initial deferral election takes effect. A Director may change his or her investment selections with respect to all amounts credited to the Director’s Account, including amounts deferred in prior periods, provided that any such change that would result in an increase or decrease in the portion of the Director’s Account allocated to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option shall only be effective if it is made pursuant to an irrevocable written election made at least six months following the date of the Director’s most recent “opposite way” election with respect to either the Plan or any other plan maintained by Lockheed Martin that provides for Discretionary Transactions (as defined in Rule 16b-3). Subject to the foregoing, a change of investment selections must be made by filing a revised Election Form in advance of the month in which the change is to take effect.

 

4.3 Account Balance as Measure of Deferred Compensation . The Deferred Compensation payable to a Director (or the Director’s Beneficiary) shall be measured by, and shall in no event exceed, the sum of the amounts credited to the Director’s Account.

 

ARTICLE V

 

PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION

 

5.1 Manner of Distribution .

 

(a) Rules for Initial Elections and subsequent changes in Elections.

 

(i) Election for Commencement of Payment . At the time a Director completes an Election Form or files a change of election form, 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 or about the January 15th or July 15th next following the date of the termination of a Director’s status as a Director for any reason.

 

 

(B)

Payment to begin on or about January 15th of the year next following the year in which the Director’s status as a Director termination for any reason.

 

 

(C)

Payment to begin on or about the January 15th next following the date on which the Director has both terminated Director status for any reason and attained the age designated by the Director in the Election Form.

 

6


(ii) Election for Form of Payment . At the time a Director completes an Election Form or files a change of election form, he or she shall elect the form of payment of his or her Deferred Compensation from among the following options:

 

 

(A)

A lump sum.

 

 

(B)

Annual payments for a period of years designated by the Director which shall not exceed fifteen (15). The amount of each annual payment shall be determined by dividing the Director’s Account at the end of the month prior to such payment by the number of years remaining in the elected installment period.

 

(b) Cash-out of Small Benefits . Notwithstanding the above, if the Account Balance of a Director who is entitled to begin payment equals $10,000 or less, the Director’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. In no event shall a distribution in accordance with the previous sentence be made after March 15 th of the calendar year following the year in which the termination of the Director’s status as a Director occurs.

 

(c) Subsequent Change of Elections . A Director may change any election as to the manner of distribution and file a new election choosing a lump sum or installment payments with respect to the payment of the Director’s entire Account, or with respect to fees deferred for specific calendar years, by executing an election (on a form prescribed by the Company) within the time periods described in this Section 5.1(c). Any election under this Section 5.1(c) shall specify a time on which commencement of distribution will begin and the number of installments to be paid if any, under the options specified in Section 5.1(c). An election must be made prior to the Director’s termination of service as a director. To constitute a valid election by a Director 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 Director’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 Director’s previous election. In the event an election fails to satisfy the terms of this Section 5.1(c), such election shall be void and payment shall commence under the Director’s previous valid election or, if none exists, shall be paid in a lump sum.

 

5.2 Commencement of Payments . Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5 and except as provided in Sections 5.1(b) and 5.4, the payment of Deferred Compensation to a Director shall be made following a Director’s termination as a Director in accordance with his or her deferral elections regardless of, whether the Director’s termination is due to resignation, retirement, disability, death, or otherwise. Installment payments shall continue to be made in January of each succeeding year until all installments have been paid.

 

5.3 Death Benefits . Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5, in the event that a Director dies before payment of the Director’s Deferred Compensation has commenced or been completed, the balance of the Director’s Account shall be distributed to the Director’s Beneficiary

 

7


commencing in the January following the date of the Director’s death in accordance with the manner of distribution (lump sum or annual installments as well as timing of commencement of distributions) elected by the Director for payments during the Director’s lifetime.

 

5.4 Emergency Withdrawals . In the event of an unforeseen financial emergency prior to the commencement of distributions or after the commencement of installment payments, the Committee may approve a distribution to a Director (or Beneficiary after the death of a Director) of the part of the Director’s Account Balance an amount which does not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency plus the amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. This emergency distribution amount must take into consideration any amounts by which the hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or by liquidation of the Director’s (or Beneficiary’s after the death of the Director) assets to the extent such liquidation would not cause a severe financial hardship. An emergency withdrawal will be approved only in a circumstance of severe financial hardship to the Director (or Beneficiary, as applicable) resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Director (or Beneficiary, as applicable) or of a dependant of the Director (or Beneficiary, as applicable), loss of property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Director (or Beneficiary, as applicable). The investment earnings shall be determined as if the withdrawal had been debited from the Director’s Account in the first day of the month in which the withdrawal occurs.

 

5.5 Corporation’s Right to Withhold . There shall be deducted from all payments under this Plan the amount of taxes, if any, required to be withheld under applicable federal or state tax laws. The Directors and their Beneficiaries will be liable for payment of any and all income or other taxes imposed on Deferred Compensation payable under this Plan.

 

5.6 Section 16 Limitations on Distributions . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no distribution of any portion of a Director’s Account credited to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option shall be made unless (i) the Board of Directors or Committee has approved the distribution or (ii) at least six months have passed from the date the Director’s service on the Board has terminated.

 

ARTICLE VI

6.2 Amendment and Termination . This Plan may be amended, modified, or terminated by the Board at any time, except that no such action shall (without the consent of affected Directors or, if appropriate, their Beneficiaries or personal representatives) adversely affect the rights of Directors or Beneficiaries with respect to compensation earned and deferred under this Plan prior to the date of such amendment, modification, or termination, or result in the application of penalties under Code section 409A.

 

ARTICLE VII
