Item 4. Description of Securities.
-------------------------
Not Applicable
- 1 -
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
--------------------------------------
The Opinion of Counsel as to the legality of the securities being
issued (constituting Exhibit 5) has been rendered by counsel who is a full-time
employee of the Registrant. Counsel rendering such opinion is not eligible to
participate in the Plan.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------
The Maryland General Corporation Law authorizes Maryland corporations to
limit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation or its
stockholders for money damages, except (a) to the extent that it is proved that
the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or
services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services
actually received, (b) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the
person's action or failure to act was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding
or (c) in respect of certain other actions not applicable to the Registrant.
Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, unless limited by charter,
indemnification is mandatory if a director or an officer has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding by reason of his or her
service as a director unless such indemnification is not otherwise permitted as
described in the following sentence. Indemnification is permissive unless it is
established that (a) the act or omission of the director was material to the
matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case
of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his or
her act or omission was unlawful. In addition to the foregoing, a court of
appropriate jurisdiction may under certain circumstances order indemnification
if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the
director or officer has met the standards of conduct set forth in the preceding
sentence or has been adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was
improperly received in a proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the
director or officer. If the proceeding was an action by or in the right of the
corporation or involved a determination that the director or officer received an
improper personal benefit, however, no indemnification may be made if the
individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent of
expenses approved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Article XI of the charter of the Registrant limits the liability of
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General
Corporation Law. Article XI of the charter
- 2 -
of the Registrant also authorizes the Registrant to adopt by-laws or resolutions
to provide for the indemnification of directors and officers. Article VI of the
By-laws of the Registrant provides for the indemnification of the Registrant's
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General
Corporation Law. In addition, the Registrant's directors and officers are
covered by certain insurance policies maintained by the Registrant.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that the Registrant will submit or has
submitted the Plan and any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the
IRS in order to qualify the Plan.
Item 9. Undertakings.
------------
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
- 3 -
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that subparagraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense
- 4 -
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

MARTIN MARIETTA CORPORATION
SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN FOR
HOURLY EMPLOYEES
INTRODUCTION
- ------------
Pursuant to the Labor agreement between Martin Marietta Corporation
and the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers and its
Locals No. 738, 766, 788 and 1921 effective November 12, 1984, this plan was
established to provide an opportunity for eligible hourly paid employees to
participate in an individual Savings and Investment program providing tax
savings and retirement incentives. This plan may be extended to other hourly
employees at the discretion of the Corporation. The Plan was amended and
restated to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, effective January 1, 1989,
or such later date as is applicable for a particular bargaining agreement as a
result of a change in the Code or regulations thereunder. The Plan was further
amended and restated on April 1, 1993. The Plan was again amended and restated
on November 14, 1994, effective January 1, 1989, or such later date as noted.
This Plan and the Trust created thereby are for the exclusive benefit
of participating employees and their beneficiaries. They are designed to comply
with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended,
and to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as a
profit sharing plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement as defined in
Section 401(k)(2) of the Code. No assets of the Trust shall be transferred to
the Corporation or Employing Companies.
ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS
The following words and phrases when used in this Plan with an initial
capital letter, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, shall have the
following meanings:

of each Valuation Date and reflected in the records maintained by the
record-keeper designated by the Corporation for this purpose.
(2) BENEFICIARY:
The person or persons designated by the Participant to receive any payment
from the Trust Fund after the death of a Participant. A designation of a
beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse will not be valid unless
accompanied by a Spouse's consent that complies with Article I(26). Such
person or persons shall be designated in writing on forms provided for this
purpose by the Plan Administrator and may be changed from time to time by
similar written notice to the Plan Administrator including a Spouse's
Consent, if applicable. In the absence of such a written designation, the
Beneficiaries shall be (i) the Participant's Spouse, or (ii) if there is no
Spouse surviving the Participant, the Participant's heirs, in such

(4) CODA CONTRIBUTIONS:
CODA Contributions are pre-tax contributions made under a "cash or

Earnings reduced by a specified percentage, and the Corporation agrees to
contribute an amount equal to such reduction to the Plan as CODA
Contributions. CODA Contributions are intended to constitute employer
contributions made on an elective basis under a qualified cash or deferred
arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k)(2) of the Code.

Personal Absence Allowance, grievance adjustments, benefit plan payments,
expense reimbursements, or any other payment not resulting from actual
hours worked. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Earnings shall not include
any amount over $200,000, or, effective January 1, 1997, $150,000
(increased in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) and 415(d) of the Code.
(8) ELECTION DATE:

otherwise Employees shall be treated as Employees but shall not be eligible

tests relating to contributions and participation contained in

10% of Earnings or the limitation established pursuant to Section
402(g) of the Code ($7,000, adjusted annually to reflect increases in
the Consumer Price Index) for that Plan Year.
(b) A Participant's contribution election shall become effective as
follows:
(i) The contribution election of an Employee who has suspended
contributions under (e) below shall be effective on the
Election Date following submission of the contribution
election to the Plan Administrator, provided the contribution
election is submitted by the last day of May in the case of
the Election Date occurring in July, or the last day of
November in the case of the Election date occurring in

(ii) The contribution election of an Employee who has suspended

following submission of the contribution election to the Plan
Administrator, provided the contribution election is
submitted by the last day of May in the case of the Election

Participant described in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above
shall be effective on the first day of the first payroll
period commencing in the month following submission of the

(c) Subject to the limitations in Article III(1)(a), a Participant's
contribution election shall remain in effect until (i) the
Participant changes or suspends the election as provided in
subsections (c), and (d) of this Section, or (ii) the Participant
withdraws any amount pursuant to Article IV. If a Participant ceases
to be an Employee, his or her contribution election will be
terminated, and no further contributions will be made unless and
until he or she again becomes an Employee and a new election becomes
effective. In the event that a Participant's Earnings change, the
dollar amount of the Contributions shall thereafter be automatically
adjusted in accordance with the percentages set forth in the
contribution election in effect at the time the adjustment in
Earnings is made.
(d) A Participant may change the level of CODA Contributions effective as

of suspended contributions by entering into a new contribution
election in accordance with the requirements of subsection (a).

election shall be paid into the Trust Fund for investment according to the
investment options selected by the Participant. Such contributions and earnings
thereon shall not be subject to forfeiture, but the value may vary in accordance
with the market value of the assets of the elected investment option.
(2) MAXIMUM CODA CONTRIBUTIONS:
(a) The Plan Administrator shall undertake to monitor the level of CODA
Contributions under the Plan in a manner that will enable affected
Participants to have advance notice, whenever practicable, as to what
level of CODA Contributions will be accepted consistent with the
limitations set forth above. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Article, the Plan Administrator shall reduce the elected
percentage of CODA Contributions if he determines in his sole
discretion that such reduction is necessary to assure compliance with
the limitations set forth above.
(b) If a Participant notifies the Plan Administrator in writing not later
than the first March 1 following the close of the Participant's
taxable year that the sum of all the elective deferrals made by the
Participant to all plans in which he participated in that taxable
year exceeded the limitation in Section 402(g) of the Code, then the
amount identified by the Participant as exceeding the limitation and
the allocable portion of the income earned on the excess deferral
during the Plan Year in which the Contribution was made shall be
distributed to the Participant. The Participant shall be deemed to
have notified the Plan Administrator of excess deferrals to the
extent the Participant's CODA Contributions under this Plan and any
other plans maintained by the Employer exceed the limitation in
Section 402(g) of the Code.
(c) If a Participant's elected percentage of CODA Contributions
nevertheless exceeds the percentage that is permissible under the
limitations set forth above, the Participant shall be deemed to have
elected that the required reduction shall instead be paid to him as
current compensation. For the purposes of this section, CODA
Contributions will be reduced for the Highly Compensated Employees
with the
13
highest percentage of CODA Contributions relative to the Employee's
compensation as necessary to bring such CODA Contributions into
compliance with such limitations. The amount of the reduction shall
be increased by the amount of any income (or decreased by the amount
of any loss) allocable to the Plan Year for which the CODA
Contribution was made. In determining whether the limitations set
forth above have been met, the Plan Administrator will use each
Participant's compensation (as defined in Section 414(s) of the Code)
for the portion of the Plan Year during which such individual was
eligible to be a Participant. Any reduction of an election of CODA
Contributions under this subsection shall be made on a reasonable and
nondiscriminatory basis. Nothing contained in this subsection shall
be interpreted to limit the Committee's right to reduce, curtail, or
make a distribution of any form of Contributions under the Plan in
order to satisfy the requirements of Article VI(3).
(3) LIMIT ON TOTAL CORPORATION CONTRIBUTIONS:
The total amount of CODA Contributions for a taxable year shall not be
greater than the maximum amount of contributions permitted by law as a tax
deductible expense to the Employing Companies for such taxable year under
Section 404 of the Code, or under any other applicable provisions of the
Code.

(a) Subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a Participant or a

qualified under Section 403(a) of the Code, which
distribution represents the balance to his credit thereunder

retirement annuity (other than an endowment contract), or a
retirement bond within the meaning of Section 408(a), Section

assets of which are derived solely from a distribution
described in (i) above which was invested in such account,
annuity or bond within the 60 day period following the date
such distribution was made, may make a Rollover Contribution
into the Trust Fund.
A Rollover Contribution must be made in cash in an amount equal to or
less than the entire distribution in (i) less the amount of employee
contributions referred to in Section 402(a)(5)(D)(ii) of the Code, or
equal to or less than the full value of the account, annuity or bond
described in (ii), whichever is applicable. If a distribution
described in (i) above consists of property other than cash, which
has not been sold prior to the contribution to the Trust Fund, then
the maximum Rollover Contribution shall be further limited to the
cash portion of that distribution. Such Rollover Contribution may
not be made later than the 60th day after receipt of the distribution
described in (i) or the full value of the account, annuity or bond
described in (ii).
(b) A separate Rollover Account shall be established in the name of each
Limited Participant or Participant who makes a Rollover Contribution.
The Rollover Account shall immediately be 100% vested and

ARTICLE IV - WITHDRAWALS
(1) REQUESTS FOR WITHDRAWALS:
(a) A Participant may withdraw an amount from the portion of his Account
attributable to his Rollover Contributions and his CODA Contributions
on account of a Hardship. A Participant shall be deemed to have

the Plan Administrator that the distribution is necessary on account
of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant and is
necessary to satisfy the need. The amount withdrawn may not exceed
the amount determined by the Plan Administrator to be required to
meet the immediate financial need and not reasonably available from
other resources of the Participant and in no event may it exceed the
Participant's total Rollover and CODA Contributions, reduced by any
previous distributions on account of Hardship and increased by any
income earned on CODA Contributions on or before December 31, 1988
and income allocated to Rollover Contributions. In determining the
existence of a Hardship and the amount required to be distributed to
meet the need created by the Hardship, the Plan Administrator shall
act in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory standards and on
the basis of such information and evidence as it shall reasonably
require from the Participant. Any withdrawal on account of hardship
shall be paid first from a Participant's Rollover Contributions,
second from income earned on CODA Contributions prior to December 31,
1988, and third from CODA Contributions.
(b) A request for a withdrawal will be considered to be on account of an
immediate and heavy financial need if the withdrawal is for
(i) unreimbursable expenses for medical care (as defined in
Section 213(d) of the Code) previously incurred by the
employee, the employee's spouse or any dependents of the
employee or necessary for these persons to obtain medical
care (as defined in Section 213(d) of the Code) in advance of
medical treatment;
19
(ii) costs directly related to the purchase of a principal
residence for the employee (excluding mortgage payments);

12-months of post-secondary education for the employee, or
the employee's spouse, children or dependents;
(iv) payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the employee
from the employee's principal residence or foreclosure on the
mortgage on that residence; or
(v) other extraordinary and non-recurring events which in the
opinion of the Plan Administrator constitute a hardship
creating an immediate and heavy financial need.
(c) A withdrawal will generally be considered necessary to satisfy an
immediate and heavy financial need if:
(i) the distribution is not in excess of the amount of the
immediate and heavy financial need (including, to the extent
required by the Participant, any amounts necessary to pay any
income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result
from the distribution);
(ii) the Employee has obtained all distributions other than
hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans currently
available under all plans maintained by the Employer; and
(iii) the Participant submits a written representation that the
need cannot be satisfied through reimbursement or
compensation by insurance or otherwise, liquidation of the
employee's assets, cessation or CODA Contributions, other
distributions or loans from any Employer's plan, or by
borrowing from Commercial sources on reasonable commercial
terms.
(d) A Participant who withdraws any or all of the portion of his account
attributable to his CODA Contributions must suspend his election to
make any CODA Contributions to this Plan until the second Election
Date following such withdrawal as of which time he may resume making
CODA Contributions (or increase his
20
CODA Contributions) by entering into a new agreement in accordance
with the requirements of Section (1) of Article III.
(2) PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWAL:
A Participant may withdraw amounts under this Article only upon written
request to the Plan Administrator. Withdrawals shall be distributed as
soon as practicable after receipt of the written notice or the
determination of a Hardship in accordance with the Plan's normal processing
standards.
(3) VALUATION PROCEDURES:
Each withdrawal shall be charged to the Participant's Account on the
valuation Date immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is
determined in accordance with Article VI(2). In the event that the portion
(CODA or Rollover) of the Participant's Account from which the withdrawal
is made is invested in more than one Investment Fund at the time of any
withdrawal, the amount withdrawn shall be charged to each Investment Fund
in proportion to the value of the investment of such portion of his Account
in such Fund on such Valuation Date.

of such tender offer and the provisions of this Article
V(4)(c) or to decline to sell, offer to sell, exchange or
otherwise dispose of such shares. The Trustee shall sell,
offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the shares
with respect to which it has received timely and valid
directions to do so under this Article V(4)(c). To the
extent to which Participants do not issue timely or valid
directions to the Trustee as to how to respond to the tender
offer with respect to shares attributable to investments in
the Martin Marietta Common Stock Fund, such individuals shall
be deemed to have directed the Trustee that such shares shall
remain invested in Martin Marietta Corporation Common Stock.
(d) Confidentiality. All instructions received by the Tabulation Service
---------------
and/or the Trustee from Participants regarding the voting or
responding to a tender offer under this Article V(4)(c) shall be
confidential and shall not be divulged to the Employer or to any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Employer, it being the
intent of this Article V(4) to ensure that the Employer (and its
directors, officers, employees and agents) cannot determine the
instructions given by any individual employee.
(e) Distribution of Materials:
-------------------------
(i) Voting - Before each annual or special meeting of
------
shareholders of the Corporation there shall be sent by the

the Trustee shall be in such form and pursuant to such
regulations as the Administrative Committee may prescribe.
The Trustee shall promptly distribute the proxy
25
solicitation materials and the instruction form to each
Participant.
(ii) Tender Offer - With respect to any tender offer, the Trustee
------------

Corporation or the Plan Administrator considers appropriate
or helpful to Participants in responding to the tender offer
and a form requesting instructions to the Trustee as to how
to respond to the tender offer with respect to shares
attributable to each such Participant's investment of his
Account in the Martin Marietta Common Stock Fund.

ARTICLE VI - ALLOCATIONS TO PARTICIPANTS
(1) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS:
(a) Upon certification that an Employee is a Participant, or a Limited
Participant, an Account shall be established in the name of such
Employee. The Plan Administrator shall keep appropriate books and
records showing the respective interests of all the Participants
hereunder or the Plan Administrator may delegate that responsibility
to the Trustee or to a third party recordkeeper.
(b) CODA Contributions shall be allocated to the Participant's Account as
of the Valuation Date for the month for which the Contribution is
applicable, but no later than the last day of the Plan Year for which
they are made.
(c) Each Participant must elect, at the time the Participant's Account is
established, the Investment Fund or Funds (in 10% increments) in
which CODA and Rollover Contributions will be invested according to
the following options:
(i) Equity Fund ("Fund A") -- an equities fund or fund invested
in common or capital stock, in bonds, notes debentures or
preferred stocks convertible into common stocks or a
commingled trust fund maintained by the Trustee or someone
other than the Corporation.
(ii) Fixed Income Fund ("Fund B") -- a fixed income fund invested
in fixed income vehicles, including U.S. Treasury obligations
or other obligations which carry the full-faith and credit of
the U.S. Government and contracts with an insurance company
or companies under agreements which shall contain provisions
that the insurance company or companies will guarantee
repayment in full of such amounts transferred to the
insurance company or companies plus interest at a fixed
annual rate for a specified period.
(iii) Martin Marietta Common Stock Fund ("Fund C") -- a fund
invested, to the extent permitted
27
by law, up to 100%, in the Corporation's common shares.
(d) A Participant may elect to change his investment election for future
CODA Contributions twice each Plan Year in 10% increments.
Additionally, twice each Plan Year, a Participant may change the
investment mix of the portion of his Account attributable to CODA or
Rollover Contributions by designating the proportion (in 5%
increments) of previously invested Contributions and associated
earnings to be invested in another Investment Fund described in
subsection (c) above.
Any change pursuant to this subsection is to be by written
application to the Plan Administrator or his delegate on a form
provided by the Plan Administrator for that purpose. Change of
Investment Funds for future Contributions will be effected as of the
earliest practicable payroll period following the Valuation Date
after receipt of notification by the Plan's record-keeper.
Reinvestment of all or part of an Account will be effected as of the
last day of the month in which the application was properly
submitted.
(e) If a Special Participant does not designate an investment fund for
his or her Special Contributions, those Contributions shall be
invested in the Fixed Income Fund ("Fund B"), until such time as the
Participant designates an Investment Fund or receives a distribution
of his Account.
(2) VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS:
As of each Calculation Date, the Trustee shall determine the value of each
Investment Fund. As of any applicable date, the value of each Account
shall be expressed in terms of its cash value.
(3) MAXIMUM ADDITIONS:
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Annual
Additions made to a Participant's Account for any Plan Year together
with the Annual Additions on behalf of the Participant under any
other Defined Contribution Plan of the Employer for the Plan Year
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $30,000 (or if greater, 1/4 of the
dollar limitation in effect under Section
28
415(b)(1)(A), or (ii) 25% of the Participant's Compensation for such
Plan Year.
Annual Additions for the purpose of this Article shall include all
employer contributions allocated to a Participant's Account under
this Plan (i.e., CODA Contributions) and to his account under any
other Defined Contribution Plan of an Employing Company, plus all
employee contributions (including employee contributions to any other
Defined Contribution Plans such as the Layoff Benefit and Security
Plan), but excluding any Rollover Contributions.
(b) If a Participant's Annual Additions would exceed the limitations of
subsection (a), the necessary reductions in Annual Additions shall be
made in the following order: first, under this Plan, and second,
under any other Defined Contribution Plan.
(c) If a Participant has at any time been a participant in any Defined
Benefit Plan maintained by an Employing Company, then for any Plan
Year, the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined
Contribution Plan Fraction shall not exceed 1.0. If the limitations
of this subparagraph (c) are exceeded, then the Participant's accrued
benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan shall be reduced to the extent
necessary to reduce the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and
the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction to 1.0. If after such
reduction, the sum of these two Fractions still exceeds 1.0, then the
Participant's Annual Additions will be reduced in accordance with
subsection (b).
(d) If, notwithstanding subsection (a) through (c), the Annual Additions
to a Participant's Account for any Plan Year would cause the
limitations contained in subsection (a) or (c) to be exceeded by
reason of a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's
Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of CODA
Contributions that may be made with respect to any Participant, or
other circumstances which the Internal Revenue Service deems
sufficient to invoke the rules of this provision, then such Annual
Additions shall be reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy such
limitations by reducing the Participant's level of Contributions to
this Plan.
(e) In applying subsection (c) to any Participant, the numerator of the
Defined Contribution Plan Fraction
29
for any Plan Year after 1982 shall be reduced, but not below zero, by
the amount (determined under regulations issued by the Secretary of
the Treasury) by which the numerator of the Defined Contribution Plan
Fraction for the 1982 Plan Year must be reduced so that the sum of
the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan
Fraction for the 1982 Plan Year equals 1.0.
(f) For purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply:
(i) "Defined Contribution Plan" and "Defined Benefit Plan" shall
have the meanings set forth in Section 415(k) of the Code and
the regulations thereunder.
(ii) "Defined Benefit Plan Fraction" for any Plan Year means a

benefit of a Participant (the annual benefit to which such
Participant would be entitled under the terms of the Defined
Benefit Plan on the assumptions that he or she continues
employment until his or her normal retirement age as
determined under the terms of such Defined Benefit Plan, or
current age, if older, that his or her Compensation continues
at the same rate as in effect in the Plan Year under
consideration until the date of his or her normal retirement
age, or current age, if older, and that all other relevant
factors used to determine benefits under such Defined Benefit
Plan remain constant as of the current Plan Year for all
future Plan Years) under all Defined Benefit Plans ever
maintained by any Employing Company determined as of the
close of the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the
lesser of:
(A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar
limitation in effect for such Plan Year under
Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code, as amended by the
Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982,
or, if greater, by the Participant's 1982 Accrued
Benefit under all Defined Benefit Plans; or
30
(B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by the amount which
may be taken into account under Section 415(b)(1)(B)
of the Code with respect to the Participant under
such Plans for such Plan Year.
(iii) "Defined Contribution Plan Fraction" means a fraction: the
numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the
Participant's accounts as of the close of the Plan Year and
all prior Plan Years under all Defined Contribution Plans
ever maintained by any Employer, and the denominator of which
is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined
for such Plan Year and for each prior Plan Year included in
the Participant's service with the Employer:
(A) the product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar
limitation in effect for such Plan Year under
Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code (determined without
regard to Section 415(c)(6)); or
(B) the product of 1.4 multiplied by the amount which
may be taken into account under Section 415(c)(1)(B)
of the Code with respect to the Participant under
such Plans for the Plan Year.
(iv) At the election of the Plan Administrator, in determining the
Defined Contribution Plan Fraction with respect to any Plan
Year after 1982, the amount taken into account under (iii) as
the denominator with respect to each Participant for all Plan
Years before 1983 shall be an amount equal to the product of:
(A) the denominator of the Defined Contribution Plan
Fraction (computed under Section 415(e)(3)(B) of the
Code as in effect on December 31, 1982) for the 1982
Plan Year, multiplied by
(B) the Transition Fraction.
31
(v) "Transition Fraction" means a fraction: the numerator of
which is the lesser of
(A) $51,875, or
(B) 1.4 multiplied by 25% of the Compensation of the
Participant for 1981, and the denominator of which
is the lesser of

benefit under all Defined Benefit Plans ever maintained by an
Employing Company, computed as of December 31, 1982, when
expressed as an annual benefit (within the meaning of Section
415(b)(2) of the Code as in effect before the enactment of
the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982);
provided, however, that there shall not be taken into account
any change in the terms and conditions of any such Plan after
July 1, 1982, nor any cost-of-living adjustment occurring
after July 1, 1982.
(vii) "Compensation" for the Plan Year shall include the following,
but not the items listed in clause (viii):
(A) The Participant's wages, salaries, bonuses, fees for
professional services, and other amounts received
(without regard to whether or not an amount is paid

other plan of deferred compensation to the extent
that, before the application of this Section and the
Code Section 415 limitations, the contributions are
not includable in the Participant's gross income for
the taxable year in which contributed; contributions
to simplified employee pension plans to the extent
deductible by the Participant under Code Section
219(b)(7); or distributions from a plan of deferred
compensation, other than an unfunded plan;

forfeiture; or
(C) Other amounts that receive special tax benefits,
such as premiums for group term life insurance to
the extent that they are not includable in the
Participant's gross income.
(ix) Solely for purposes of this Section, in applying the

35
(3) PAYMENT OF PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT:
(a) An employee or Beneficiary who is eligible for a distribution from
the Plan pursuant to Section (1) shall make a written application
therefore to the Plan Administrator or his or her delegate on a form
provided for this purpose. Unless a different election is in effect
under subsection (b), the distribution will be made:
(i) As a single distribution as soon as practicable, in

value on the last day of the month in which an Employee attains age
65.
(c) An Employee who is eligible for retirement under the terms of an
applicable pension plan may elect to transfer his entire account to

Payments will commence not later than 60 days after the end of the
Plan Year in which the Employee separates from service and will be
determined each year by dividing the value of the account balance by
the number of years in the payment schedule.
36
(d) With respect to the portion of an Account invested in the Equity Fund
or the Fixed Income Fund, distributions shall be made in cash. With

Account will not be distributed to him prior to his attainment of age
65 without written consent of the Participant. If the nonforfeitable
portion of a Participant's Account is $3500 or less as of such date,
then the Administrative Committee may direct distribution of the
Account in a single lump sum without consent of the Participant.

death. If the Participant dies before payment of his
interest commences, the Participant's entire interest must be
completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Participant's death except to the
extent that an election is made to receive payment in
accordance with (x) or (y) below:
(x) if any portion of the Participant's interest is

provisions of this Plan at any time by written instrument identified as an
amendment of the Plan effective as of a specified date. The Corporation
may unilaterally amend this Plan if such modification or amendment is
necessary to conform the Plan to, or to satisfy or continue to satisfy the
conditions of, any applicable law, including ERISA, governmental
regulations or rulings or to cause the Plan to meet or continue to meet the
requirements for qualification of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the
Code, or any similar statute enacted as a successor thereto. The
Corporation may also unilaterally amend this Plan if such modification or
amendment affects only those Participants who are not represented by the
UAW or its Locals No. 738, No. 766, No. 788, or No. 1921, or only those
Participants in a collectively bargained group which consents to such
amendment.
(2) TERMINATION OF PLAN:
The Corporation expects to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, except
as provided in Section (4), the Corporation, with the concurrence of the
International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America (UAW) and its Locals No. 738, No. 766, No.
788, and No. 1921, shall have the right at any time to terminate the Plan
in whole or in part by suspending or discontinuing Participant
contributions hereunder in whole or in part, or to otherwise terminate the
Plan. In accordance with any amendment to the Plan that may be adopted in
connection with any such termination, the Corporation may after such
termination continue the Plan and Trust in effect for the purpose of making
distributions under the Plan as they become payable, or may authorize the
distribution of all or any part of the assets of the Trust Fund as to which
the Plan has been terminated. In the event of termination the Plan
Administrator shall continue to administer the Plan and the Trustee shall
continue to administer the Trust as herein provided for application and
disbursement in accordance with the Plan, and as directed by the
Corporation.
45
(3) MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, OR TRANSFER:
In the case of any merger or any consolidation with or transfer of assets
or liabilities to any other plan and trust, each Participant and
Beneficiary in the Plan must be entitled to receive a benefit immediately
after the merger, consolidation or transfer, if such plan were then
terminated, equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been
entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or
transfer if the Plan had then been terminated. No merger, consolidation,
or transfer shall take place unless such other plan and trust are qualified
under Code Section 401(a), or if such merger, consolidation, or transfer
would cause this Plan to cease to be a qualified plan.
(4) LIMITATIONS ON AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION:
(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to amend or terminate the
Plan in such manner as would cause or permit any part of the assets
of the Plan held in the Trust Fund to be diverted to purposes other
than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries, or
as would cause or permit any portion of such assets to become the
property of the Employing Companies (except as otherwise provided in
Article XI(ii). The Corporation shall not have the right to modify
or amend the Plan in such manner as to reduce the accrued benefit of
any Participant or Beneficiary, to deprive any Participant or
Beneficiary of any benefit to which any one of them was entitled
under the Plan by reason of contributions made prior thereto, or
adversely to affect the rights and duties of the Plan Administrator
or the Trustee without their consent in writing, unless such
modification or amendment is necessary to conform the Plan to, or to
satisfy or continue to satisfy the conditions of, any applicable law,
including ERISA, governmental regulations or rulings, or to cause the
Plan to meet or to continue to meet the requirements for
qualification of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, or any
similar statute enacted as a successor thereto.
46
ARTICLE X - CLAIMS PROCEDURE
(1) CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS:
Any Participant or Beneficiary who shall believe that he or she has become
entitled to a benefit hereunder and who, after filing the application
referred to in Article VII (3), shall not have received, or commenced
receiving, a distribution of such benefit, pursuant to the provisions of
Article VII, or who shall believe that he or she is entitled to a benefit
hereunder in excess of the benefit that he or she shall have received, or
commenced receiving, may file a written claim for such benefit or increased
benefit with the Plan Administrator at any time up to the end of the
calendar year next following the calendar year in which he or she allegedly
became entitled to receive a distribution of such benefit. Such written
claim shall set forth the Participant's or Beneficiary's name and address
and shall include a statement of the facts and a reference to the pertinent
provisions of the Plan upon which such claim is based. Within ninety (90)
days after such a claim is filed, the Plan Administrator shall provide the
claimant with written notice of his decision with respect to such claim.
If such claim shall be denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator
shall, in such written notice to the claimant, set forth in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reason or reasons
for denial; specific references to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon
which the denial is based; a description of any additional material or
information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim and an
explanation as to why such material or information is necessary; and an
explanation of the provisions for review of claims set forth in Section (2)
of this Article. If special circumstances require additional time, the
Plan Administrator may extend the period allowed for notice of his decision
by a period not to exceed ninety (90) days. Written notice of such
extension, stating the circumstances requiring the extension and the date
by which a final decision is expected, shall be provided to the claimant
before the expiration of the initial ninety (90) day period. A claimant
who shall not timely file his or her claim as required shall to the extent
permitted by law be conclusively deemed to have waived any right to contest
the determination of the Plan Administrator.
47
(2) REVIEW OF CLAIM:
For purposes of this section (2), any reference to "the Vice President"
shall mean, with respect to Participants included in a collective
bargaining unit, the Vice President, Human Resources. With respect to
Participants not included in a collective bargaining unit, the "Vice
President" shall mean the Vice President, Employee Benefits. A Participant
or Beneficiary whose claim for benefits shall have been denied may appeal
such denial to the appropriate Vice President of the Corporation and
receive a full and fair review of his or her claim by filing with the Vice
President a written application for review at any time within sixty (60)
days after receipt from the Plan Administrator of the written notice of
denial of his or her claim provided for in Section (1). A Participant or
Beneficiary who shall submit a timely written application for review shall
be entitled to review any and all documents pertinent to his or her claim
and may submit issues and comments to the Vice President in writing. In
the discretion of the Vice President a hearing may be held. Not later than
sixty (60) days after receipt of a written application for review, the Vice
President shall give the claimant written notice of his decision on review,
which shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant specific reasons for his decision and specific references to the
pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which the decision is based. If
special circumstances, including but not limited to the need for a hearing
as determined by the Vice President shall require additional time for
making a decision on review, the period for decision may be extended by not
more than sixty (60) days. Written notice of such extension, stating the
circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which a final
decision is expected, shall be provided to the claimant before the
expiration of the initial sixty (60) day period. Even if the period for
decision is extended under this section, a decision shall be made as soon
as possible. The decision of the Vice President shall to the extent
permitted by law, be final and binding on all parties.
48
ARTICLE XI - MISCELLANEOUS
(1) TOP HEAVY PROVISIONS:
The following provisions shall become effective in any Plan Year subsequent
to the 1983 Plan Year in which this Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsections (c), (d), and (f) shall not
apply to any Participant included in a unit of employees covered by a
collective bargaining agreement.
(a) Top-Heavy Plan Status. This Plan will be a Top-Heavy Plan for a
given Plan Year if as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year
either of the following situations occur:
(i) The ratio of the Accrued Benefits of Participants in this
Plan who are Key Employees to the Accrued Benefits for all
Participants in this Plan exceeds six-tenths (.6), or,
(ii) This Plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group, and the
ratio of the Accrued Benefits of Participants in any of the
aggregated plans who are Key Employees to the Accrued
Benefits of all Participants in the aggregated plans exceeds
six-tenths (.6).
Notwithstanding anything in (a) to the contrary, this Plan shall not
be a Top-Heavy Plan in any Plan Year in which this Plan is part of a
Required or Permissive Aggregation Group which is not Top-Heavy.
Neither shall this Plan be a Top-Heavy Plan if it is part of a
Permissive Aggregation Group which is Top-Heavy but this Plan is not
required to be part of a Required Aggregation Group.
(b) Definitions.
Key Employee. A Key Employee is a Key Employee as defined in Section
416(i) of the Code. Compensation taken into account in determining
who is a Key Employee shall have the same meaning as "Compensation"
under Article VI(4)(g)(viii).
Accrued Benefit. The Accrued Benefit is the account balance of the
Participant in this Plan or any other defined Contribution plan and
in the case of a
49
defined benefit plan, the Accrued Benefit as defined under such plan,
including any distribution from the Plan within the five-year period
ending on the last day of the preceding Plan Year. If any individual
has not received any Compensation from any Employer (other than
benefits under the Plan) at any time during the five-year period
ending on the last day of the preceding Plan Year, any Accrued
Benefit for such individual shall not be taken into account.
Required Aggregation Group. The term Required Aggregation Group
means all of the qualified plans of the Employer in which a Key
Employee is a Participant, or which are necessary for a plan to
satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.
Permissive Aggregation Group. The term Permissive Aggregation Group
means all of the plans of the Employer which are included in the
Required Aggregation Group plus any plans of the Employer which are
not included in the Required Aggregation Group, but which satisfy the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code when
considered together with the Required Aggregation Group.
Limitation Year. The term Limitation Year means the Plan Year.
(c) Minimum Benefit. The yearly minimum Contribution to this Plan for an
employee with respect to Plan Years during which this Plan is Top-
Heavy, shall be equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the Participant's
Compensation for such Plan Year; or (ii) the highest percentage of
Compensation contributed on behalf of a Key Employee to this Plan in
the form of CODA Contributions. The minimum Contribution shall be
made regardless of whether the Employee was a Participant in the Plan
during such Top-Heavy Plan Years provided that he was eligible to
participate. However, if any employee eligible to participate in
this Plan receives the minimum benefit required under Section 416 of
the Code under any defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer,
this paragraph (c) shall not be applicable.
(d) Excessively Top-Heavy Plan. In the event the ratio described in
paragraph (a) of this Article XI(1) exceeds nine-tenths (.9), then
the definitions of the Defined Benefit Fraction and the Defined
Contribution
50
Fraction in Article VI(4) (g)(ii) and (iii) shall be changed by
substituting in the denominator of each Fraction "100 percent"
instead of "125 percent." For any Limitation Year in which the Plan
is a Top-Heavy Plan, but not an Excessively Top-Heavy Plan, the
percentage described in the minimum Contribution provision of
paragraph (c) shall be 4% in lieu of 3% indicated therein.
(2) PROHIBITION AGAINST ALIENATION:
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Participant or Beneficiary
shall have any right to withdraw, assign (either at law or in equity),
pledge, transfer, appropriate, encumber, commute, alienate, or anticipate
his or her interest in the Plan and Trust, or any payments to be made
hereunder, and no benefits, payments, rights, or interest of such a person
under the Plan shall be in any way subject to any legal or equitable
process to levy or execute upon, charge, garnish, or attach the same for
payment of any claim against such person except pursuant to a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order, nor shall any such person have any right of any
kind whatsoever with respect to the Plan and Trust, or any estate or
interest therein, or with respect to any other property or rights, other
than the right to receive such distributions as are made out of the Trust,
as and when the same are or shall become due and payable under the terms of
the Plan. Any attempt to transfer, pledge or levy upon or otherwise
alienate an interest of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be invalid
unless made pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
(3) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMPLOYING COMPANIES AND EMPLOYEES:
The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute
or modify a contract between any Employer and any Employee or Participant
or to be a consideration or inducement for or condition of the performance
of services by any person. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
give to any Employee or Participant the right to continue in the service of
any Employer, to interfere with the right of an Employer to discharge any
Employee or Participant at any time, or to give an Employer the right to
require an Employee or Participant to remain in its service or to interfere
with his or her right to terminate his or her service at any time.
51
(4) PARTICIPANTS' BENEFITS LIMITED TO ASSETS:
Each Participant, by his or her participation in the Plan and Trust, shall
be conclusively deemed to have agreed to look solely to the Trust Fund, and
not to any other person, entity, or assets for the payment of any benefit
to which he or she may be entitled by reason of his or her participation,
and to have consented to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as
the same may be amended from time to time, and shall be bound thereby with
the same force and effect as if he or she were a party to this Plan.
(5) TITLES AND HEADINGS:
The titles and headings of the articles and sections in this Plan are
placed herein for convenience of reference only, and in case of any
conflicts, the text of this Plan, rather than the titles or headings, shall
control.
(6) GENDER AND NUMBER:
The masculine pronoun, wherever used herein, shall include the feminine
pronoun, and the singular shall include the plural, except where the
context requires otherwise.
(7) APPLICABLE LAW:
The provisions of this Plan shall be construed according to the laws of the
State of Maryland, except to the extent that they are preempted by ERISA,
or by other federal law. The Plan is intended to comply with ERISA and the
Code, and to contain a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the
meaning of Code Section 401(k), and shall be interpreted and construed
accordingly.
(8) INABILITY TO LOCATE PAYEE:
Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if the Plan Administrator
is unable, after a reasonable effort, to locate any Participant or
Beneficiary to whom an amount is distributable hereunder, such amount shall
be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, such amount shall be
reinstated, by means of a contribution by the Corporation if and when a
valid claim for the forfeited amount is subsequently made by the
Participant or Beneficiary or if the Plan Administrator receives
satisfactory proof of death of such person; in such case, payment of the
reinstated amount shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this
Plan. No such contribution shall reduce the Plan distributions otherwise
required. Any benefits lost by
52
reason of applicable state law relating to escheat or abandoned property
shall be considered forfeited but shall not be subject to reinstatement.
(9) INCOMPETENCE OF PAYEE:
In the event any benefit is payable to a minor or incompetent, to a person
otherwise under legal disability, or to a person who, in the sole judgment
of the Plan Administrator is by reason of advanced age, illness, or other
physical or mental incapacity incapable of handling the disposition of his
or her property, the Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to apply the
whole, or any part of such benefit, directly to the care, comfort,
maintenance, support, education, or use of such person, or pay or
distribute the whole or any part of such benefit to (a) the parent of such
person, (b) the guardian, committee, or other legal representative,
wherever appointed, of such person, (c) the person with whom such person
resides, (d) any person having the care and control of such person, or (e)
such person personally. The receipt by the person to whom any such payment
or distribution is so made shall constitute a full and complete discharge
of the right of affected Participants, former Participants, and
Beneficiaries under the Plan.
(10) DEALING WITH THE TRUSTEE:
No person dealing with the Trustee shall be obliged to see to the
application of any property paid or delivered to the Trustee or to inquire
into the expediency or propriety of any transaction or the Trustee's
authority to consummate the same, except as may specifically be required of
such person under ERISA.
(11) RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS:
(a) All contributions to the Plan are expressly conditioned on the
initial qualification of the Plan under Section 401 of the Code, and
if such qualification shall be denied, the Participants shall be
entitled to receive a return of contributions made after the
effective date of such denial, net of any losses attributable thereto
and together with any earnings thereon, as soon as practicable but in
any event within one year after the denial of qualification of the
Plan.
(b) If a contribution is made to the Plan by a Participant by a mistake
of fact, such Participant
53
shall be entitled to receive a return of such contribution, net of
any losses attributable thereto and together with any earnings
thereon, within one year after the making of such contribution.
(12) SEPARABILITY:
If any provision of this Plan is found, held or deemed to be void,
unlawful, or unenforceable under any applicable statute or other
controlling law, the remainder of this Plan shall continue in full force
and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF this amended and restated Plan was executed as of

Re: Martin Marietta Corporation Savings and Investment
Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I submit this opinion to you in connection with the filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") on the date hereof. The Registration Statement
registers shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of Lockheed Martin Corporation
(the "Corporation") for use in connection with the Plan. The Plan contemplates
that Common Stock may be treasury or authorized but unissued shares or may be
acquired in the open market. As Assistant General Counsel of the Corporation, I
have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents and have
reviewed such questions of law as I deemed necessary or appropriate for the
purpose of this opinion.
Based upon that examination and review, I advise you that in my opinion:
(i) the Corporation has been duly incorporated and is validly existing
under the laws of the State of Maryland; and
(ii) to the extent that the operation of the Plan results in the issuance
of Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock have been duly and
validly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms set
forth in the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to my opinion in the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Stephen M. Piper
