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.

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:
(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.
-4-
(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 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.

Except with respect to FITU Members, Special Distributions shall not be
reinvested in the Company Stock Fund but will be paid into the Special
Distribution Fund.
[(c) If Company contributions made pursuant to Section V are made in

and sales for each fund during such month but before adding contributions

Fund shall, however, be valued at their face (book) value including accrued
interest less allocated expenses. The net earnings, gains and losses, both
realized and unrealized and less allocated administrative or other
expenses, shall then be allocated to the accounts of the Members or
Inactive Members participating in such fund in the same ratio that the

Members or Inactive Members invested in such fund at the beginning of the
month.
(c) A Member's or Inactive Member's account in each fund shall be

withdrawals.

(iii) During the installment payment period, the Member's account
balance shall remain at risk and continue to be invested in accordance
with the Member's last investment fund options filed before payments
commenced.
(iv) If the former Member shall die while any installment remains
unpaid, the Member's remaining account balance shall be paid to the
Member's Beneficiary in a single distribution unless the Beneficiary
determines to continue to receive distribution in accordance with the
installment schedule applicable to such former Member. In the case of
an installment payment schedule for the Member and the Member's life
expectancy, as
19
described in (vi) below, the remaining account balance will be paid in
a single sum to the Beneficiary except as provided in (v) below.
(v) The number of installments payable to a Member may not exceed
the greater of the Member's life expec-tancy or, if the Member's
spouse is the designated Beneficiary, the joint and last survivor life
expectancy of the Member and the Member's designated Beneficiary.
These life expectancies shall equal the return multiples found in the
Ordinary Life and Ordinary Joint Life and Last Survivor Annuity Tables
as contained in section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations or
similar regulations as promulgated by the United States Department of
the Treasury or their reasonable equivalent.
(vi) If the Member elects payment over his life expectancy, or the
joint and survivor life expectancy of the Member and the Member's
spouse, the life expectancy of the Member and Member's spouse may be
redetermined on an annual basis on the anniversary of benefit
commencement.
(vii) Effective on any month end, the Member (or his designated
Beneficiary if the Member is deceased) may elect to cease receipt of
the Member's account in installments and receive the remaining account
balance as soon as practicable thereafter in cash (or cash and shares
of Company stock as appropriate).
(c) Transfer to the Trustee under any retirement plan of any Employing
Unit for hourly employees, under which the Member has accrued benefits, of
cash equal to the value in the Member's accounts at the Settlement Date for
the purpose of providing additional retirement benefits thereunder
(commencing at the time which benefits under that plan commence to the
Member) which shall be paid in the same form as the benefits from the
retirement plan are paid to the Member. Such additional retirement
benefits shall be the actuarial equivalent of such amount computed by the
use of the applicable actuarial assumptions being used on the date of such
transfer by such retirement plan for determining actuarial equivalent
values.
(d) Payment to an insurance company of cash equal to the value of the
Member's accounts at the settlement date for the purchase of an annuity.
With respect to any annuity contract purchased, the following restrictions
must be provided:
(i) A Member must not be allowed to elect to withdraw interest
only under the contract and leave the principal to accumulate for the
Member's Beneficiary.
20
(ii) Any form of annuity selected by the Member must provide for
distribution over one of the following periods:
(A) the Member's life,
(B) the life of the Member and a designated Beneficiary,
(C) a period certain not extending beyond the Member's life
expectancy, or
(D) a period certain not extending beyond the joint and
last survivor life expectancy of the Member and a
designated Beneficiary,
(E) a combination of any one or more of the above which is
permitted by applicable federal regulations.
Any contract selected may provide for adjustments in the levels of and
number of payments in accordance with IRC Section 401 (a)(9), and
regulations as may be issued from time to time thereunder, with
respect to periodic reevaluation of distributee and beneficiary life
expectancies and variation in levels of payments. The Member's life
expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy of the Member and
the Member's designated Beneficiary must be computed by reference to
annuity tables described in subparagraph 2(b)(v) of this Section or
their equivalent.
(iii) Notwithstanding the above, a Married Member electing this
form of payment must select a form of annuity contract under which the
Member's accrued benefit will be paid as a Contingent or Joint and
Survivor Annuity, with the Member's spouse as the contingent annuitant
or survivor, wherein the annuity continuation to the contingent
annuitant/survivor is at least 50% of the Member's annuity, unless,
prior to issuance of the annuity contract, the Company obtains the
written consent of the Member's spouse to the Member's selection of a
different contingent annuitant/survivor or form of annuity contract.
The spouse's written consent shall acknowledge the effect of the
consent and shall be witnessed by a notary public or Plan
representative to be effective.
3. Death
(a) In case of a Member's or Inactive Member's termination of
employment with the Affiliated Group by reason of death, prior to
commencement of distribution from the Plan
21
because of the Member's or Inactive Member's retirement or attaining age 70
1/2, the entire vested balance in the Member's accounts at the Settlement
Date, may be distributed to the Member's or Inactive Member's designated
Beneficiary pursuant to the methods available for settlement of such
Member's or Inactive Member's accounts as provided in subparagraphs 2(a)
and (b) above with the following restrictions.
(i) The Beneficiary of a deceased Member may defer receipt of
any distribution as described in Section XI, paragraph 4 In which case
distribution would commence as described in Section XI, paragraph
4(g).
(ii) If the payments are to be made to the Member's or Inactive
Member's designated Beneficiary (or spouse if alive at the Member's or
Inactive Member's death and If no other Beneficiary was designated),
the period over which installments may be payable shall not exceed the
greater of five years or the number of years remaining in the
designated Beneficiary's life expectancy as determined by reference to
the Ordinary life Annuity Table described in subparagraph 2(b)(v) of
this Section.
(iii) If a Member or Inactive Member has no designated Beneficiary
or the Member's or Inactive Member's designated Beneficiary(ies)
predecease the Member or Inactive Member, then the personal
representative may elect to receive the Member's or Inactive Member's
account balance pursuant to subparagraphs 2(a) or (b) above but the
maximum period over which installments shall be payable shall be 5
years.
(b) In case of a Member's or Inactive Member's termination of
employment with the Affiliated Group by reason of death prior to receipt of
a distribution but after the Member or Inactive Member has properly
requested payment of said sums and after the Settlement Date for those
payments has passed, the sum shall be paid to the Member's or Inactive
Member's personal representative.
(c) In case of death of an Inactive Member who has previously
terminated employment with the Affiliated Group, but who has deferred
receipt of the Inactive Member's account pursuant to Section XI, paragraph
4, the Inactive Member's account balance will be distributed or deferred
and distributed as described in Section XI, paragraph 4(g).
(d) If the death of a designated Beneficiary occurs after the death of
a Member or Inactive Member while the Beneficiary is entitled to receive
distribution of the Member's or Inactive Member's account balance, but
before the account balance has been completely distributed to the
22
Beneficiary, then the Member's or Inactive Member's undistributed account
balance shall be paid in a single sum as soon as practicable, valued as of
the end of the month in which the Beneficiary died, to the Beneficiary's
personal representative.
4. Total Disability
In case of a Member's or Inactive Member's termination of employment with
the Affiliated Group by reason of permanent and total disability, the entire
balance in the Member's or Inactive Member's account at the Settlement Date may
be distributed pursuant to methods provided in subparagraphs 2(a), (b) and (d)
above. The term "permanent and total disability" shall have the meaning
provided in Section VIII, 2(b)(i) above.
5. Involuntary Entry Into Military Service or Layoff
In case of a Member's termination of employment with the Affiliated Group
by reason of involuntary entry into military service or layoff for four
consecutive weeks, the entire vested balance in the Member's accounts at the
settlement date shall be distributed or deferred at the Member's election
pursuant to paragraph 1 above.
6. Other Terminations
If the employment of a Member or Inactive Member terminates employment with
the Affiliated Group for any reason other than provided in paragraphs 2,3,4 or 5
of this Section X, the entire vested balance in the Member's or Inactive
Member's account at the Settlement Date shall be distributed or deferred at the
Member's or Inactive Member's election pursuant to paragraph 1. All such non-
vested amounts and non-vested shares shall be forfeited and applied as provided
in Section XII.
7. Unused Payroll Deduction
In addition to the distributions of the Member's account balance described
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section X, the Member or Beneficiary shall
receive from the Company cash equal to the Member's contributions plus Company
contributions, which would have otherwise vested, on such Member's contributions
which have not yet been invested or paid to the Trustee.
8. Settlement Date
As used in this Plan, the term "settlement date" shall mean the last day of
the calendar month in which the Member or Inactive Member leaves the Company's
employ because of retirement, death or other termination of employment, as the
case may be, or in which a Member's or Inactive Member's request for a
withdrawal (as described in Section IX) or for payment of a deferred account
23
balance (as described in Section XI) becomes effective; except that, in the case
of layoff, it shall mean the last day of the calendar month in which the end of
the fourth consecutive week of layoff occurs.
9. Timing of Distribution
The value of all distributions as described in paragraphs 1 through 6
above, or in Section XI, paragraph 4 determined as of the appropriate Settlement
Date, shall be payable as soon as practicable after the Settlement Date in
accordance with such practices as the Plan Administrator may, in its judgment,
implement.
SECTION XI: REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS, FORM OF DISTRIBUTIONS,
RESTORATION OF FORFEITED CONTRIBUTIONS AND DEFERRAL OF
DISTRIBUTIONS
1. Required Distribution of Benefits
(a) The entire vested account balance of any Member or Inactive Member
must be distributed or commence to be distributed no later than 60 days
following the end of the month in which the Member attains age 70 1/2.
(b) The distribution described in subparagraph (a) above shall be made
in accordance with the provisions of Section X, paragraph 2 as if the
Member or Inactive Member had retired on the day before the required (or
selected) benefit commencement date. The distribution shall commence upon
that date regardless of whether the Member or Inactive Member has actually
retired or terminated. Further deferrals of the commencement of
distribution will not be permitted.
2. Mode of Distribution
(a) All distributions from the Plan shall be made in cash, except as
provided below with respect to Company Stock, which is to be distributed to
the Member's or Inactive Member's Beneficiary in kind and fractional Shares
shall be paid in cash. Full and fractional Shares to be converted into
cash shall be valued at the closing price per share of Company Stock on the
New York Stock Exchange on the Settlement Date or if Company Stock was not
so traded on such date then on the next prior date when so traded.
3. Repayment of Plan Distributions and Restoration of Forfeited Amounts
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Member or Inactive
Member shall be entitled to repay Plan distributions and have forfeited amounts
restored to the Member's or Inactive Member's or reemployed former Member's
account. Any such repayment and restoration shall be made only under the
following conditions.
24
These conditions are described with respect to Members but shall also apply to
Inactive Members (but not Beneficiaries) and reemployed former Members as
appropriate. Reemployment shall refer to reemployment with the Company or its
subsidiaries.
(a) Withdrawals Prior to Termination of Employment: The value of a
Member's account forfeited as a result of a distribution from the Plan
prior to termination of employment shall be restored to the Member's
account provided such Member repays to the Plan in cash and in a lump sum,
the value of the entire amount distributed.
(b) Distributions at Termination of Employment: The value of a
Member's account forfeited pursuant to paragraph 6 of Section X shall be
restored to the Member's account provided such Member is reemployed by the
Company and within 60 months after reemployment repays to the Plan in cash
and in a lump sum, the value of the entire distribution paid.
(c) Restoration of Account: Any repayment pursuant to paragraph (a)
above shall be made in a lump sum and before the Member retires or
otherwise terminates employment and within the time periods described
above. The amount repaid and the restored forfeiture shall be allocated to
the Member's account for the Plan Year in which repayment is made. Any
repayment shall be invested in the investment option in effect for such
Member at the time of repayment. There shall be no adjustment for any gains
or losses attributable to the restored forfeiture between the date of
forfeiture and the date of repayment.
(d) Deferring Members who incur forfeitures upon termination and are
reemployed shall have forfeited Company Contributions restored as follows:
(i) If the Deferring Member received no distribution upon
termination, all amounts forfeited shall be restored upon
reemployment. Restoration shall occur as described in subparagraph
(c) above.
(ii) If the Deferring Member received any distributions, they must
be repaid as described in subparagraph (c) as a condition to
restoration of amounts forfeited. Upon repayment, restoration and
reinvestment shall occur pursuant to subparagraph (c).
(e) Repayments of Plan distributions and restoration of previously
forfeited Company contributions made prior to the Closing Date shall be
governed by the terms of the Plan as it existed at the time of the Member's
reemployment. However, Members who were reemployed prior to the Closing
Date and who were eligible to repay a prior distributions and have Company
contributions restored, but had not yet done so prior to the Closing Date,
may do so under the terms of this Plan unless
25
their eligibility to repay a prior distribution and have Company
Contribution restored had expired prior to the Closing Date.
[(f) All Company contributions to restore forfeitures, as described
in this paragraph 3, will be invested for the Member or Inactive Member in
the Company Stock Fund.]
4. Deferral of Receipt of Distributions
(a) Any Member, Inactive Member or Beneficiary who is entitled to
distribution of the Member's account balance pursuant to Section X and
whose vested account balance equals or exceeds $3,500 shall be deemed to
have deferred receipt of the distribution in accordance with the provisions
of this paragraph and such other uniform rules which the Company may
implement unless the Member, Inactive Member or Beneficiary has made an
election in the manner prescribed by the Company, no later than the
Settlement Date (as defined in Section X, paragraph 8), to receive the
distribution.
(b) The accounts of a Deferring Member will remain invested in those
Funds in which they were invested on the Deferring Member's Settlement Date
except that the Deferring Member may elect fund transfers as described in
Section VI, paragraph 3.
(c) A Deferring Member may elect to receive a distribution of the
Deferring Member's entire vested account at any time after the initial
deferral by requesting a distribution in the manner prescribed by the
Company. The Deferring Member's account shall be distributed as soon as
practical thereafter valued as of the last day of the calendar month in
which the request for distribution is received. Any Member or Inactive
Member who terminated employment with the Affiliated Group by reason of
permanent and total disability or retirement may request payment as
provided in Section X, subparagraphs 2(a), (b) and (d).
(d) A Deferring Member shall not be entitled to any partial
distributions or withdrawals.
(e) Deferral of any distribution shall not result in a reduction of
the vested amount of a Member's or Inactive Member's account or in the
amount of any Member's or Inactive Member's account which was forfeited
upon termination.
(f) Absent a request for earlier distribution and except as provided
in (g) below, the balance of the account of a Deferring Member will be
distributed at the time provided and manner described in Section XI,
paragraph 1(a) and will be distributed in a lump sum, unless the Deferring
Member may and does elect another form of payment as described in (c)
above.
26
(g) If the Beneficiary, or Personal Representative, of a Member or
Inactive Member defers receipt of any distribution, the deferred account
balance of the deceased Member or Inactive Member will be distributed to
the Beneficiary or Personal Representative no later than as follows
(references to Member shall also refer to Inactive Member):
(i) If the Member's spouse is the Beneficiary of the deceased
Member, the entire deferred account balance must be distributed or
commence to be distributed no later than the end of the month
following the date on which the Member would have attained age 70 1/2.
The methods available for distribution are described at Section X,
paragraph 3(a)(ii).
(ii) If the Member had designated a Beneficiary other than the
Member's spouse, the entire deferred account balance must be
distributed or commence to be distributed no later than by 31 December
of the year following the year in which the Member died. The methods
available for distribution are described at Section X, paragraph
3(a)(iii).
(iii) If the Member had no designated Beneficiary, the entire
deferred account balance must be distributed no later than by the
close of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the
Member's death. This may be accomplished by lump sum or installments
as described in Section X, paragraph 3(a)(iii).
(h) If a Deferring Member is reemployed by the Company:
(i) Amounts forfeited upon termination will be restored pursuant
to paragraph 3(d) of this Section;
(ii) Any undistributed amounts will be allocated to the Plan Year
to which they originally were allocated and all nonforfeited Company
Contributions and earnings will continue to be fully vested;
(iii) Any undistributed amounts will be available for subsequent
distribution and withdrawal pursuant to Sections IX and X.
SECTION XII: APPLICATION OF FORFEITED COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS
All forfeitures of Company contributions and earnings thereon from the
accounts of any Member or Inactive Member shall be applied as a credit to reduce
subsequent Company contributions except as provided in Section XIII for
reallocation of Excess Benefits. All amounts so forfeited and applied shall be
determined as of the last day of the month in which the event resulting in such
forfeiture occurs (i.e. the forfeiting Member's or Inactive Member's Settle-
27
ment Date). Shares so forfeited and applied shall be valued at the closing price
per share of Company Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last
day of such month. However, in the event the Plan is terminated, any amount not
so applied by the Trustee shall be credited ratably to the accounts of Members
or Inactive Members in proportion to the amounts of their respective accounts
attributable to Company contributions.
SECTION XIII: BENEFIT LIMITATIONS
1. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Annual
Addition to a Member's account in any Plan Year shall not exceed the lesser of
(a) $30,000 or (b) 25 percent of such Member's Compensation for such year or
such other maximum permissible amount as may be provided from time to time by
IRC Section 415 or successor provision.
2. The Plan herein incorporates by reference the overall limitations on
contributions to the Plan and benefits which may be provided as described in IRC
Section 415 and valid regulations which may be promulgated thereunder. The Plan
also incorporates by reference the definition of Annual Addition as well as all
substantive and definitional provisions of Section 415 and such successor
provisions as may be promulgated.
3. If the Annual Addition to a Member's account under this Plan would
exceed the limitation described in paragraph 1 of this Section, the amount of
the Annual Addition to this Plan shall be reduced so that, when aggregated with
the Annual Additions to any other plans, it shall be brought within the
limitation of paragraph 1, by reducing it in the following order of priority:
(a) Refund of Contributions made by the Member, and any earnings on
them, during the Plan Year in which the excess arises which do not generate
a Company matching contribution to the extent that the refund would reduce
the Member's Annual Addition;
(b) Refund of any Contributions made by the Member during the Plan
Year to the extent that the refund would reduce the Member's Annual
Addition, and any earnings on them, and forfeit any corresponding Company
Contributions made pursuant to Section V with respect to the refunded
Contributions; Company Contributions which are forfeited under this
subparagraph shall be allocated pursuant to paragraph 4 below;
(c) Refund of any Contributions made by the Member to any other
defined contribution plan that would be aggregated with the Annual Addition
to this Plan, if such a refund is authorized under the terms of the other
plan, and any earnings on them.
28
4. Amounts forfeited pursuant to subparagraphs (b) and (c) will be
transferred to and held in an unallocated suspense account as of the end of the
Plan Year. These amounts will then be allocated during the next Plan Year until
the limits of paragraph 1 are reached with respect to all Plan Members, and they
shall be similarly allocated in subsequent Plan Years until no amounts remain
unallocated. All suspense account allocations shall reduce Company Contributions
for the year in which the funds are released from the suspense account.
Allocation will be performed by reducing Company Contributions for the next Plan
Year to the extent of the suspense account and then allocating the remaining
Company Contributions, plus suspense account funds, to Members pursuant to Plan
Sections IV, V and VII.
5. No profits or losses attributable to the assets of the Trust may be
allocated to this suspense account. Until all amounts held in the suspense
account, maintained under this Plan or under any other defined contribution plan
the annual additions of which are aggregated with the Annual Addition to this
Plan, can be allocated, the Company shall make no contributions under this Plan.
If the Plan terminates, any balance remaining in the suspense account that
cannot be allocated shall revert to the Company.
6. If a Member in this Plan is also a Member in a defined benefit plan,
as defined in Section 414(j) of the IRC, maintained by the Company or a
Subsidiary, the sum of (i) the Defined Benefit Fraction and (ii) the Defined
Contribution Fraction (as hereafter defined) for the Member shall not exceed 1.0
for any Plan Year. If the sum of such fractions would for any Member exceed 1.0
for any Plan Year, then, to the extent necessary to avoid such excess, the
annual benefit which the Member has or may accrue under the defined benefit
plans of the Company and Subsidiaries shall be limited or reduced pursuant to
the applicable provisions thereof.
SECTION XIV: TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS
1. If the Plan is or becomes top-heavy in any plan year, the provisions
of Section XIV will supersede any conflicting provisions in the Plan; however,
the provisions of this Section XIV shall not be applicable with respect to any
Employee for a Plan Year in which the Employee was covered by a collective
bargaining agreement under which retirement benefits were the subject of good
faith bargaining.
2. Definitions
(a) "Key Employee" shall mean any Eligible Employee who meets the
definition of key employee contained in IRC section 41 6(i)(1) as such
definition may be amended, replaced or supplemented by law or regulation.
(b) "Top-Heavy Plan." For any Plan year, this Plan is Top-Heavy If
any of the following conditions exists:
29
(i) If the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60 percent and
this Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive
Aggregation Group of plans;
(ii) If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation group of
plans but not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy
Ratio of the Required Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent; or
(iii) If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and
part of a Permissive Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-Heavy
Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent,
assuming the Top-Heavy Ratio of the Required Aggregation Group exceeds
60 percent.
(c) Top-Heavy Ratio:
(i) If the Company maintains one or more defined contribution
plans and has not maintained any defined benefit plan which, during
the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s), has or has had
accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan or for the
Required or Permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is
calculated as a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the sum of
the account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination
Date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed in the
5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s)), and the
denominator is the sum of all account balances (including any part of
any account balance distributed in the 5-year period ending on the
Determination Date(s)). Both fractions will be computed in accordance
with IRC section 416 and the regulations thereunder. Both the
numerator and denominator are adjusted to reflect any contribution not
actually made as of the Determination Date, but which is required to
be taken into account on that date under IRC section 416 and the
regulations thereunder.
(ii) If the Company maintains one or more defined contribution
plans and maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit
plans, which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination
Date(s), has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for
any Required or Permissive Aggregation Group is calculated as a
fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the sum of account
balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for
all Key Employees in all aggregated plans, determined in accordance
with (i) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the
aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees in all
aggregated plans as of the Determination Date(s). The denominator is
the sum of the account balances under
30
the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants
in the aggregated plans, determined in accordance with (i) above, and
the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan
or plans for all participants in the aggregated plans as of the
determination date(s). All will be computed in accordance with IRC
section 416 and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under
a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the
Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any distribution of an accrued
benefit made in the five-year period ending on the determination date.
(iii) For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of account
balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined
as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with
the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as
provided in IRC section 416 and the regulations thereunder for the
first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan. The account
balances and accrued benefits of a Member (1) who is not a Key
Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2) who has
not received any Compensation from any employer maintaining the plan
at any time during the 5-year period ending on the determination date
will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the
extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into
account will be made in accordance with IRC section 416 and the
regulations thereunder. Deductible employee contributions will not be
taken into account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio.
When aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued
benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates
that fall within the same calendar year.
(d) "Permissive Aggregation Group" means the Required Aggregation
Group of plans plus any other plan or plans of the Company or its
Subsidiaries which, when considered with the Required Aggregation Group,
would continue to satisfy the requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of
the Code.
(e) "Required Aggregation Group" means (i) each qualified plan of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in which at least one Key Employee
participates, and (ii) any other qualified plan of the Company and its
Subsidiaries which enables a plan described in (1) to meet the requirements
of sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.
(f) "Determination Date" means the last day of the preceding Plan
Year. For the first plan year of the plan, the last day of that year.
31
(g) "Valuation Date" means the date as of which account balances or
accrued benefits are valued for purposes of calculating the Top-Heavy
Ratio, which shall be December 31 of each year.
(h) "Present Value of Accrued Benefit." In the case of a defined
benefit plan, a Participant's Present Value of Accrued Benefit shall be as
determined under the provisions of the applicable defined benefit plan.
3. For each Plan Year that the Plan is Top-Heavy, the sum of all Company
Contributions and Forfeitures credited to the account of each Member, who is not
a Key Employee, shall equal the greater of: (a) the credit to each Member's
account under Sections IV, V and VII which would result but for the imposition
of the rules under this Section XIV or (b) three percent (3%) of each Member's
Compensation not in excess of $200,000. However, if the sum of all Company
Contributions and Forfeitures credited to the account of each Member who is a
Key Employee is less than three percent (3%) of each Key Employee's Compensation
not in excess of $200,000, then the sum of the Company Contributions and
Forfeitures allocated to the account of each Member Key Employee under (b) above
shall not equal 3% but will equal the largest percentage credited to the account
of each Member who is a Key Employee.
(a) For any Top-Heavy Plan Year, the minimum contributions set forth
above shall be allocated to the accounts of all Members who are not Key
Employees who are Members and who are employed by the Company on the last
day of the Plan Year, including Eligible Employees who are Members who are
not Key Employees and who declined to make Member Contributions to the
Plan.
(b) For purposes of determining the required percentage of Employer
Contributions and Forfeitures to be credited to Member's accounts under
Paragraph 3 above:
(i) The required credit shall be determined without regard to
any contributions by the Company for Members under the Social Security
Act;
(ii) The percentage credited to the Accounts of Members who are
Key Employees shall be equal to the ratio of the sum of the Employer
Contributions and Forfeitures credited to the Account of such Key
Employee divided by Compensation for such Key Employee; and
(iii) "Compensation" shall mean Compensation as defined in IRC
414(q)(7) but shall be limited to $200,000 in Top-Heavy Plan Year.
(c) The minimum allocation required in Paragraph 3 (to the extent
required to be nonforfeitable under section 416(b))
32
may not be forfeited under IRC sections 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).
4. The required minimum account credits of Paragraph 3 above shall not
apply to any Member to the extent the Member is covered under any other plan or
plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries and those plans provide that the
minimum allocation or benefit requirements attributable to Top-Heavy plans, as
described in IRC section 416, will be met in the other plan or plans. Otherwise,
the credits provided in this Plan shall be available to offset minimum
contributions or benefits required to be provided in the other plan or plans.
5. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, only the first
$200,000 (or such larger amount as may be prescribed by the Secretary or his
delegate) of a Member's Compensation shall be taken into account for purposes of
determining Employer Contributions under the Plan.
6. If the Plan becomes Top-Heavy, a Member shall become vested in all
Company Contributions, and the earnings, gains and losses thereon, credited to
the Member's account, during the period described in subparagraph (a) below,
after the completion of three (3) years of Continuous Service. Members shall at
all times be fully vested in all Member Contributions and the earnings, gains or
losses thereon.
(a) The vesting provisions set forth in paragraph (6) above shall
apply to all Company Contributions and earnings, profits and losses
thereon, credited to a Member's account while the Plan is Top-Heavy and
during the period of time before the Plan becomes Top-Heavy. This vesting
schedule shall not apply to the account of any Member who does not have an
Hour of Service after the Plan becomes Top-Heavy.
(b) If the Plan becomes Top-Heavy and subsequently ceases to be Top

Offer any Shares allocated to that Member's account which may be Tendered.

regarding the withdrawal of such shares in the same manner as it would

(c) Shares of Company Stock Allocated to Member Accounts Which May Be
Tendered. Members may instruct the Trustee to Tender, or not Tender,any and all

Offer (hereafter the "Investment Decision"). Communications to Members by
the Offerer, the Company or other interested party or public communications
directed generally to the owners of Company Stock which is the subject of

Investment Decision in accord with the wishes of the Trustee, the Company
or Offerer.
(ii) The Trustee shall take all actions necessary to ensure that all
Investment Decisions are made confidentially and shall retain an unrelated
third party to tabulate all Investment Decisions for timely communication
to the Trustee. Information regarding any specific Member's Investment

Trustee consistent with the provisions of the Offer.

the Plan or Company to comply with Federal Law or regulations governing
such offers with respect to acquisition of Shares by affiliates of the
Company.

appropriate.

above shall be invested in Company Stock as would ordinarily occur under
Sections VI and XV. Except with respect to FITU Members, if no Shares are
outstanding or reasonably available for purchase after the offer Period
expires or the Tender Offer is completed, the amounts described in (ii)
above shall be transferred to the Special Distribution Fund.
(iv) If a Member's Shares are being cashed out, or are to be cashed
out, pursuant to a loan or investment fund transfer requested pursuant to
Section VI prior to or during the Offer Period, than such Shares shall not
be available for Tender.
(g) Multiple Tender Offers. If while an Offer is outstanding, the Trustee
receives another Offer with respect to Shares held in Trust, the Trustee shall
use its best efforts to obtain directions from Members (i) with respect to
Shares previously tendered under the first Offer whether to withdraw such shares
from Tender, if possible, and if withdrawn whether to Tender such Shares
pursuant to the second Offer and (ii) with respect to Shares not tendered under
the first Offer whether to Tender such Shares under the second Offer. The

costs and expenses incurred with respect to the Plan or its administration)
may, at the discretion of the Company, be charged to and collected from the
accounts of Members and Inactive Members upon such reasonable method of
allocation as the Company may designate. In allocating any such expenses
and charging and collecting the same from the accounts of Members and
Inactive Members, the Company shall in all cases accord uniform,
nondiscriminatory treatment to all Members and Inactive Members similarly
situated. Any collection from a Member's account may be made at the option

the accounts of Members and Inactive Members shall be paid by the Company.

Plan Administrator, be charged to and collected from the accounts of such
Members and Inactive Members or Alternate Payees or from the Member or
Inactive Member and Alternate Payee themselves.

Member or Inactive Member of the Plan or in any fund established thereunder
shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any attempt to so anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall
be void; nor shall any such right or interest be in any manner liable for
or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of
the person entitled thereto; and in the event that any Member or Inactive
Member becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or interest in the
Plan, except as specifically provided herein, then the Company to the
extent permitted by law shall hold or apply the right or interest hereunder
of such Member or Inactive Member to or for the benefit of such Member or
43
Inactive Member, as the case may be, or the Member's or Inactive Member's
spouse, children or other dependents or any of them.
(b) This provision shall not apply to a "qualified domestic relations
order" defined in Code Section 414(p), and ERISA section 206(d), and those
other domestic relations orders permitted to be so treated by the Plan
Administrator under the provisions of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984.
The Administrator shall establish a written procedure to determine the

distributions under such qualified orders and is authorized to take such
action as it deems necessary to properly administer distribution and other
provisions of such Orders.

Inactive Member's termination). The Plan Administrator shall not be
required to create additional forms of distribution not otherwise existing
under the Plan to satisfy such orders.

circumstances of termination of employment may be deemed conclusive by the Plan

Inactive Member, the same shall not have been claimed, provided due and proper
care shall have been exercised by the Trustee and the Company in attempting to
make such distribution, the amount thereof shall be used to reduce Company
contributions. Should a Member or Inactive Member or Alternate Payee
subsequently make proper claim for such amount, it will be paid to the Trust by
the Company and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
5. No Right to Employment
Neither the act of establishing the Plan nor any action taken under the
provisions hereof, nor any provision of the Plan, shall be construed as giving
any Eligible Employee or Member or Inactive Member the right to be retained in
the employ of the Company, or except as specifically provided herein, any claim
against the Company or the assets of any fund maintained under the Plan, in the
44
event of the Member's or Inactive Member's discharge from the employ of the
Company.

If the employment of a group of Members is terminated as a result of the
transfer of a part of the business of the Company to another corporation
(whether or not affiliated with Lockheed Corporation) or as a result of the
merger of any Subsidiary into such another corporation and such Members or
Inactive Members become employees of such other corporation, the Company may
deter mine the entire value of the accounts of each such Member and Inactive
Member (including Non-Vested Amounts and Shares) at the date of such transfer or
merger and amounts equal in value thereto (in cash or in kind or both) may be
vested in each such Member and Inactive Member and may be transferred at the
value thereof at the date of such transfer as a vested benefit of each such
Member and Inactive Member to the trustee of an employee benefit plan meeting
the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any
successor statutory provision) with respect to which such other corporation is
an employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall not be merged into
or consolidated with any other plan, nor shall any of its assets or liabilities
be transferred to any other plan, unless each Member and Inactive Member in this
Plan, or only those Members or Inactive Members affected if the transfer is not
a complete merger or consolidation of this Plan, would (if such other Plan then
terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or
transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit such Member and Inactive
Member would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger,
consolidation, or transfer (if this Plan had been terminated). Any such transfer
having been made, the Trustee and the Company shall be discharged from all
further liability under the Plan to, or in respect of, such Member.
7. Transfer of Member to Ineligible Status
A Member shall become an Inactive Member if a Member shall cease to be an
Eligible Employee while employment with the Company continues. The Member's
account shall remain in the Plan subject to withdrawal and distribution as
previously provided. If a Member's employment with the Affiliated Group shall
terminate after he shall have ceased to be an Eligible Employee, the entire
balance of the Member's accounts shall be payable to him or his Beneficiary in
accordance with of Section X of the Plan. In the case of a Member who shall
cease to be an Eligible Employee while the Member's employment with the
Affiliated Group continues, the Member's payroll deduction authorization shall
be suspended as of the end of the last payroll period during which the Member
was an Eligible Employee; the Member shall, however, continue to have the right
to make withdrawals under paragraph 1 of Section IX of the Plan, and if the
Member shall subsequently return to the status of an Eligible Employee his last
effective payroll deduction shall be
45
reinstated as soon as practicable following the date of the Member's return to
such status. No period during which a Member's payroll deduction authorization
shall be suspended pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute a
period of suspension for purposes of paragraph 2 of Section IV of the Plan.
8. Amendments
The Chairman of Lockheed Corporation shall have the authority at any time
and from time to time to modify or amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the
provisions of the Plan, provided that no modification or amendment shall be made
which shall affect adversely any right or obligation of any Member or Inactive
Member with respect to contributions theretofore made or which shall make it
possible for any funds paid to the Trustee to revert to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any modification or amendment of the Plan may be
made, retroactively if necessary, which said Chairman deems necessary, proper or
advisable in his discretion to bring the Plan into conformity with any law or
governmental regulation relating to plans or trusts of this character,
including, without limitation, requirements of ERISA, and including the
qualification of any trust created under the Plan as an exempt trust under the
Internal Revenue Code or any amendment thereof.
9. Termination or Permanent Discontinuance of Contributions
The Board of Directors of Lockheed Corporation may terminate the Plan, in
whole or in part, or completely discontinue contributions hereunder for any
reason at any time. In case of a termination or partial termination of the Plan,
or a complete discontinuance of contributions hereunder, there shall
automatically vest in the Members and Inactive Members, or only those Members
and Inactive Members affected if there is not a complete termination of or a
complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan, all rights to the then
undistributed Company contributions credited to their accounts.
10. Leave of Absence on Union Business
Any employee who, in accordance with the provisions of a collective
bargaining agreement, shall be granted a leave of absence to conduct union
business, shall if otherwise an Eligible Employee be entitled to become a Member
or continue to be a Member during the period of such leave of absence so long as
(a) the Member shall pay to the Company for remittance to the Trustee the
contributions to the Plan required by Section IV, paragraph 1, at the times such
contributions would otherwise have been made by means of payroll deductions and
(b) the union shall simultaneously pay to the Company an amount equal to the
amount of the Company Contribution associated with each such contribution as
described in Section V, paragraphs 2 and 3, whichever is applicable and (c) such
actions are permitted by the IRC and other relevant law.
46
11. Governing Law
This Plan shall be construed, interpreted and governed under and by the
laws of the State of New York.

"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
