EXPLANATORY NOTE Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin" or the "Registrant") hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-78279), declared effective on May 12, 1999, as amended by Post Effective Amendment No.1 to such Registration Statement on Form S-4, declared effective on July 20, 1999 and by Post Effective Amendment No.2 to such Registration Statement on Form S-4 declared effective on August 3, 2000 (as amended, the "S-4"), by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No.3 on Form S-8 relating to up to 500,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of Lockheed Martin ("Lockheed Martin Common Stock"), available for issuance or delivery pursuant to the provisions of the COMSAT Corporation Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Plan") which was assumed by Lockheed Martin pursuant to the Merger Agreement defined and described below. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 18, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") among COMSAT Corporation, a District of Columbia corporation ("COMSAT"), Lockheed Martin and Deneb Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin ("Deneb"), each share of COMSAT common stock, no par value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger described in the Merger Agreement was converted into the right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. At the effective time of the merger, each share of COMSAT common stock available for issuance or delivery under the Plan will convert into the equivalent number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. Before the merger, 500,000 shares of COMSAT common stock were available for issuance or delivery under the Plan. Lockheed Martin registered 39,342,917 shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock on the S-4, which included the 500,000 shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock to be available for issuance or delivery under the Plan after the effective time of the merger.

Item 4. Description of Securities Not Applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel The Opinion of Counsel as to the legality of the securities being registered hereby 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 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 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed Not Applicable. Item 8. Exhibits See the attached Exhibit Index at page 9. 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 with or furnished to the Commission 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 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 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. (d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the Plan and any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to qualify the Plan under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

COMSAT CORPORATION SAVINGS AND PROFIT-SHARING PLAN SECTION 1 - NAME AND PURPOSES 1.1 Name. The name of this Plan is the COMSAT Corporation Savings and Profit- Sharing Plan. 1.2 Purposes. The purposes of the Plan are to induce employees to contribute to and share in the profitability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, to encourage personal savings by employees, to provide a means by which employees may meet major financial needs and supplement basic retirement benefits, and to assist the Corporation and its subsidiaries in attracting and retaining high caliber personnel. The Plan is intended to comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as both may from time to time be amended, and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with those provisions. SECTION 2 - DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION 2.1 Definitions. For purposes of the Plan, unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context, the following definitions are applicable: 1
(a) "Accounts" means the After-Tax Contributions Account, the Pre-Tax Contributions Account, the Employer Contributions Account and the Rollover Contributions Account. (b) "After-Tax Contributions" means a contribution to the Trust by a Participant as provided in Section 5.6. (c) "After-Tax Contributions Account" means the Account recording After-Tax Contributions made by a Participant as provided in Section 7.1(a)(i). (d) "Beneficiary" means a person designated by a Participant, in accordance with Section 8.2(a), to receive distributions under the Plan upon the death of the Participant. (e) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (f) "Calendar Quarter" means a period of three successive months, beginning on the first day of any January, April, July or October. (g) "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. (h) "Committee" means the Benefit Plan Committee appointed by the Board in accordance with Section 13. (i) "Compensation" means the regular, basic compensation received by a Participant from an Employer (and shall not include bonuses, overtime payments or any other additional compensation). The determination of Compensation shall be made by including 2
amounts which are contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and which are not includible in the gross income of the Participant under sections 125, 402(e)(3), or 402(h)(1)(B) of the Code. For a Participant's initial year of participation, Compensation shall be recognized as of such Employee's effective date of participation pursuant to Section 3. Compensation in excess of $200,000 shall be disregarded. Such amount shall be adjusted at the same time and in such manner as permitted under section 415(d) of the Code except that the dollar increase in effect on January 1 of any calendar year shall be effective for the Plan Year beginning with or within such calendar year and the first adjustment to the $200,000 limitation shall be effective on January 1, 1990. For any short Plan Year the Compensation limit shall be an amount equal to the Compensation limit for the calendar year in which the Plan Year begins multiplied by the ratio obtained by dividing the number of full months in the short Plan Year by twelve (12). In applying this limitation the family group of a Highly Compensated Participant who is subject to the Family Member aggregation rules of section 414(q)(6) of the Code because such Participant is either a "five percent owner" of the Employer or one of the ten (10) Highly Compensated Employees paid the greatest "415 Compensation" during the year, shall be treated as a single Participant, except that for this purpose Family Members shall include only the affected Participant's spouse and any lineal descendants, who have not attained age nineteen (19) before the close of the year. If, as a result of the application of such rules the adjusted $200,000 limitation is exceeded, then the limitation shall be prorated among the affected Family Members in proportion to each such 3
Family Member's Compensation prior to the application of this limitation, or the limitation shall be adjusted in accordance with any other method permitted by Regulation. In addition to the other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual Compensation of each Employee taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA 93") annual compensation limit. The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000 as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The cost of living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which Compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is 12. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference in this Plan to the limitation under section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit set forth in this provision. If Compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining an Employee's benefits accruing in the current Plan Year, the Compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period. For this purpose, for determination periods beginning before the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000. 4
If, as a result of such rules, the maximum "annual addition" limit of Section 5.8 would be exceeded for one or more of the affected Family Members, the prorated Compensation of all affected Family Members shall be adjusted to avoid or reduce any excess. The prorated Compensation of any affected Family Member whose allocation would exceed the limit shall be adjusted downward to the level needed to provide an allocation equal to such limit. The prorated Compensation of affected Family Members not affected by such limit shall then be adjusted upward on a pro rata basis not to exceed each such affected Family Member's Compensation as determined prior to application of the Family Member rule. The resulting allocation shall not exceed such individual's maximum "annual addition" limit. If, after these adjustments, an "excess amount" still results, such "excess amount" shall be disposed of pro rata among all affected Family Members. For Plan Years prior to the Plan Year which includes the adoption date of this amendment and restatement, Compensation means compensation determined pursuant to the Plan then in effect. For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1989, the $200,000 limit (without regard to Family Member aggregation) shall apply only for Top Heavy Plan Years and shall not be adjusted. (j) "Computation Period" means the 12 consecutive month period beginning with an Employee's Employment Commencement Date and each succeeding 12 consecutive month period beginning on the anniversary of such date. 5
(k) "Corporation" means COMSAT Corporation, or any successor to such corporation. (l) "Corporation Stock" means common stock of the Corporation. (m) "Disability" means total disability such that the Participant is eligible to receive benefits under the Long Term Disability Plan of the Employer. (n) "Early Retirement Date" means a date on which an Employee who is between 55 and 65 years of age and has completed a Period of Service of ten or more years, ceases to be an Employee (five or more years if the Employee ceases to be an Employee in connection with the special voluntary retirement opportunities described in Sections 6.5 and 6.6). (o) "Employee" means a person employed by an Employer. (p) "Employer" means the Corporation and any Related Company which is participating in the Plan with the approval of the Board. The term may be used either individually or collectively, as the context requires. (q) "Employer Contribution" means a contribution to the Trust by the Employer as provided in Section 5.7. (r) "Employer Contributions Account" means the Account recording Employer Contributions for a Participant, as provided in Section 7.1(a)(ii). (s) "Employment Commencement Date" means the date on which an Employee first performs an Hour of Service with an Employer. 6
(t) "Family Members" means, with respect to an affected Participant, such Participant's spouse and such participant's lineal descendants and ascendants to their spouses, all as described in Section 414(q)(6)(B) of the Code. (u) "Hour of Service" means each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment by an Employer for the performance of duties for the Employer. (v) "Inactive Participant" means a Participant who is no longer an Employee but who has an interest in the Plan which has not yet been fully distributed. (w) "Installment Distribution" means a distribution described in Section 8.4(c). (x) "Investment Funds" means the media for investment of amounts held by the Trustee under the Plan, as described in Section 6.1. (y) "Lump Sum Distribution" means a distribution described in Section 8.4(b). (z) "Normal Retirement Date" means a Participant's 65th birthday. (aa) "Maternity or Paternity Leave" means the absence of an Employee from employment with the Corporation and all Related Companies (with or without pay) by reason o(Pounds) (i) The pregnancy of the Employee; (ii) The birth of a child of the Employee; 7

(ii) Each other Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant on the first day of the pay period next following the date upon which he has completed a Period of Service of one year, or on the first day of any subsequent pay period provided, he is then still an Employee. An Employee who completes the eligibility requirements of the preceding sentence during a Period of Separation which is included in his Period of Service pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be eligible to become a Participant on the date his Period of Separation ends. (c) Participation in the Plan by an Employee shall be entirely voluntary. 3.2 REEMPLOYMENT. If an Employee ceases to be an Employee and later becomes an Employee again, the following rules shall apply: (a) If he ceases to be an Employee by reason of resignation, discharge or Retirement and then has an Hour of Service within 12 months of his Separation Date, his Period of Separation shall be included in his Period of Service.

A Participant who ceases to be an Employee shall thereafter be an Inactive Participant until his Accounts have been fully distributed. 3.5 Transfer to a Related Company Which Has Not Adopted the Plan. If a Participant is transferred to a Related Company which has not adopted the Plan, no further contributions to the Trust shall be made by or on behalf of the Participant under the Plan, unless the Participant is subsequently transferred back to the employment of an Employer and a new Salary Reduction Agreement is executed in accordance with Section 4.6. SECTION 4 - SALARY REDUCTION AGREEMENTS 4.1 Nature of Agreement. A Salary Reduction Agreement shall be an agreement, made in accordance with Section 16.4, by which the Participant and the Employer agree that, starting as of the effective date of the Salary Reduction Agreement, the Employer shall: (a) reduce the Compensation otherwise payable to the Participant thereafter by a whole percentage (as selected by the 18
Participant) not to exceed the maximum percentage permitted under Section 5.1(a) and; (b) subject to the limitations of Section 5.1(b) and 5.12, contribute the amounts of such reduction in Compensation to the Trust on behalf of the Participant as Pre-tax Contributions under Section 5.1. 4.2 Effective Date. Except as provided in Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, the effective date of a Salary Reduction Agreement shall be the first day of the Participant's first payroll period commencing after the date the Salary Reduction Agreement is received by the Plan Administrator, in accordance with Section 16.4, provided that such effective date is no earlier than the date the Participant first becomes eligible to be a Participant, and provided further that such effective date shall be no earlier than is practicable in the case of a newly hired Employee. 4.3 Reduction of Pre-tax Contributions. Each Salary Reduction Agreement shall provide that if the Plan Administrator determines that all or part of the reduction in the Participant's Compensation for any Plan Year may not be contributed to the Trust because of the limitations of Sections 5.1(b) or 5.12, the Employer shall not be required to make such contribution to the Trust, and instead shall pay the amount which is not contributed to the Trust directly to the Participant as additional compensation as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after the close of the Plan Year. 19
4.4 Amendment. A Participant may amend his Salary Reduction Agreement at any time with respect to Compensation not yet earned to change the percentage of reduction in his Compensation amount, within the limits of Section 5.1, effective as of the first day of the first payroll period beginning after the date the amended Salary Reduction Agreement is received by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Section 16.4. 4.5 Termination and Resumption. A Participant may terminate his Salary Reduction Agreement at any time with respect to Compensation not yet earned, effective as of the first day of the first payroll period commencing after the date the Participant's notice of termination is received by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Section 16.4. A Participant who terminates his Salary Reduction Agreement may execute a new Salary Reduction Agreement and resume having Pre-tax Contributions made on his behalf, as of the first day of the first payroll period commencing after the date the new Salary Reduction Agreement is received by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Section 16.4. 4.6 Transfer to a Related Company Which Has Not Adopted the Plan; Termination of Employment. A Participant's Salary Reduction Agreement shall automatically terminate if the Participant transfers to a Related Company which has not adopted the Plan or otherwise terminates his employment with an Employer. If such a Participant (or former Participant) subsequently returns to the employment of an Employer, the Participant shall be permitted to 20
execute a new Salary Reduction Agreement and resume having contributions made to the Trust on his behalf pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, provided that the effective date of the new Salary Reduction Agreement shall in no event be earlier than the date the Participant resumes employment with the Employer. SECTION 5 - CONTRIBUTIONS 5.1 Pre-Tax Contributions. (a) The Employer shall make Pre-Tax Contributions to the Trust on a Participant's behalf for each payroll period in an amount equal to a whole percentage of his Compensation, as authorized by the Participant in his Salary Reduction Agreement executed and filed in accordance with Section 16.4. Such amount shall not exceed the maximum percentage prescribed from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided that in no event shall such maximum percentage exceed 15%. For each Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1987, such amount shall not exceed, during any taxable year of the participant, the limitation imposed by section 402(g) of the Code, as in effect of the beginning of such taxable year. If such dollar limitation is exceeded, the Participant will be deemed to have notified the Plan Administrator of such excess amount, which shall be distributed in a manner consistent with Section 5.1(c). The dollar limitation shall be adjusted annually pursuant to the method provided in section 415(d) of the Code in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulation. (b) To ensure that the Plan constitutes a qualified "cash or deferred arrangement" under section 401(k) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations under that section, the Plan Administrator shall monitor the amounts of Pre-Tax Contributions made. If the Plan 21
Administrator, in the Plan Administrator's sole discretion, determines that it is necessary or desirable that the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions being made for one or more Participants be altered in order that the Plan satisfy the requirements under the Code and Treasury Regulations for a "cash or deferred arrangement (including the requirement to Section 5.2 and 5.3)," the Plan Administrator shall take whatever actions it deems necessary or desirable to ensure that such requirements are satisfied. In doing so it shall treat all Participants who are similarly situated in a nondiscriminatory and uniform manner and shall not discriminate in favor of Employees who are officers or shareholders of an Employer or highly compensated employees within the meaning of section 414(q) of the Code. Subject to Section 5.1(c) such action by the Plan Administrator may relate to past or future Pre-Tax Contributions or both. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such action may include, but shall not be limited to: (i) reducing Pre-Tax Contributions for some or all Participants and returning the excess amounts to such Participants, (ii) recharacterizing all or a portion of the Pre-Tax Contributions as After-Tax Contributions, or (iii) temporarily suspending the ability of certain Participants to have all or a portion of the Pre-Tax Contributions made for them. (c) If a Participant's Deferred Compensation under this Plan together with any elective deferrals (as defined in Treas. Reg. section 1.402(g)-1(b)) under another qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in section 401(k) of the Code), a simplified employee pension (as defined in section 408(k) of the Code)), a salary reduction arrangement (within the meaning of section 3121(a)(5)(D) of the Code)), a deferred compensation plan under section 457 of the Code, or a trust described in section 501(c)(18) cumulatively exceed the limitation imposed by section 402(g) of the Code (as adjusted annually in accordance with the method 22
provided in section 415(d) of the Code pursuant to applicable Regulations) for such Participant's taxable year, the Participant may, not later than March 1 following the close of the Participant's taxable year, notify the Administrator in writing of such excess and request that his Deferred Compensation under this Plan be reduced by an amount specified by the Participant. In such event, the Administrator may direct the Trustee to distribute such excess amount (and any Income allocable to such excess amount) to the Participant not later than the first April 15th following the close of the Participant's taxable year. Distributions in accordance with this paragraph may be made for any taxable year of the Participant which begins after December 31, 1986. Any distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Deferred Compensation and Income shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Deferred Compensation and Income. The amount distributed shall not exceed the Participant's Deferred Compensation under the Plan for the taxable year. Any distribution on or before the last day of the Participant's taxable year must satisfy each of the following conditions: (i) the distribution must be made after the date on which the Plan received the Excess Deferred Compensation; (ii) the Participant shall designate the distribution as Excess Deferred Compensation; and (iii) the Plan must designate the distribution as a distribution of Excess Deferred Compensation. 23
5.2 Actual Deferral Percentage Tests. (a) For each Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1986, the annual allocation derived from Employer Pre-Tax Contributions to a Participant's Pre- Tax Contributions Account shall satisfy one of the following tests: (i) The "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Highly Compensated Participant group shall not be more than the "Actual Deferral Percentage" of the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group multiplied by 1.25, or (ii) The excess of the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Highly Compensated Participant group over the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group shall not be more than two percentage points. Additionally, the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Highly Compensated Participant group shall not exceed the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group multiplied by 2. The provisions of section 401(k)(3) of the Code and Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b) are incorporated herein by reference. However, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, in order to prevent the multiple use of the alternative method described in (ii) above and in section 401(m)(9)(A) of the Code, any Highly Compensated Participant eligible to make elective deferrals pursuant to Section 5.1 and to make Employee contributions or to receive matching contributions under this Plan or under any other plan maintained by the Employer or an Related Employer shall have his actual contribution ratio reduced pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.401(m)-2, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. 24
(b) For the purposes of this Section, "Actual Deferral Percentage" means, with respect to the Highly Compensated Participant group and Non-Highly Compensated Participant group for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each Participant in such group of the amount of Employer Pre-Tax Contributions allocated to each Participant's Pre-Tax Contribution Account for such Plan Year, to such Participant's "415 Compensation" for such Plan Year. The actual deferral ratio for each Participant and the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for each group shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988. Employer Pre-Tax Contributions allocated to each Non-Highly Compensated Participant's Pre-Tax Account shall be reduced by Excess Deferred Compensation to the extent such excess amounts are made under this Plan or any other plan maintained by the Employer. (c) For the purpose of determining the actual deferral ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee who is subject to the Family Member aggregation rules of section 414(q)(6) of the Code because such Participant is either a "five percent owner" of the Employer or one of the ten (10) Highly Compensated Employees paid the greatest "415 Compensation" during the year, the following shall apply: (i) The combined actual deferral ratio for the family group (which shall be determined by aggregating Employer Pre-Tax Contributions and "415 Compensation" of all eligible Family Members (including Highly Compensated Participants). However, in applying the $200,000 limit to "415 Compensation" for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, Family Members shall include only the affected Employee's spouse and any lineal descendants who have not attained age 19 before the close of the Plan Year. 25
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1990, compliance with the Regulations then in effect shall be deemed to he compliance with this paragraph. (ii) The Employer Pre-Tax Contributions and "415 Compensation" of all Family Members shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the "Actual Deferral Percentage" of the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group except to the extent taken unto account is paragraph (1) above. (iii) If a Participant is required to be aggregated as a member of more than one family group in a plan, all Participants who are members of those family groups that include the Participant are aggregated as one family group in accordance with paragraphs (i) and (ii) above. (d) For the purposes of Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (c), a Highly Compensated Participant and a Non-Highly Compensated Participant shall include any Employee eligible to make a deferral election pursuant to Section 5.1, whether or not such deferral election was made or suspended pursuant to Section 5.1. (e) For the purposes of this Section and sections 401(a)(4), 401(b) and 401(k) of the Code, if two or more plans which include cash or deferred arrangements are considered one plan for the purposes of section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code (other than section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code as in effect for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988), the cash or deferred arrangements included in such plans shall be treated as one arrangement. In addition, two or more cash or deferred arrangements may be considered as a single arrangement 26
for purposes of determining whether or not such arrangements satisfy sections 401(a), 410(b) and 401(k) of the Code. In such a case, the cash or deferred arrangements included in such plans and the plans including such arrangements shall be treated as one arrangement and as one plan for purposes of this Section and sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k) of the Code. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph (h) only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the above, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, an employee stock ownership plan described in section 4975(e)(7) or 409 of the Code may not be combined with this Plan for purposes of determining whether the employee stock ownership plan or this Plan satisfies this Section and sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k) of the Code. (f) For the purposes of this Section, if a Highly Compensated Participant is a Participant under two or more cash or deferred arrangements (other than a cash or deferred arrangement which is part of an employee stock ownership plan as defined in section 4975(e)(7) or 409 of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988) of the Employer or a Related Employer, all such cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one cash or deferred arrangement for the purpose of determining the actual deferral ratio with respect to such Highly Compensated Participant. However, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, if the cash or deferred arrangements have different plan years, this paragraph shall be applied by treating all cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year as a single arrangement. 27
5.3 Adjustment to Actual Deferral Percentage Tests. In the event that the initial allocations of the Employer's Pre-Tax Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.1 do not satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 5.2(a) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1986, the Administrator shall adjust Excess Contributions pursuant to the options set forth below: (a) On or before the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of each Plan Year, the Highly Compensated Participant having the highest actual deferral ratio shall have his portion of Excess Contributions distributed to him and/or at his election recharacterized as an After-Tax Contribution pursuant to Section 5.6 until one of the tests set forth in Section 5.2(a) is satisfied, or until his actual deferral ratio equals the actual deferral ratio of the Highly Compensated Participant having the second highest actual deferral ratio. This process shall continue until one of the tests set forth in Section 5.2(a) is satisfied. For each Highly Compensated Participant, the amount of Excess Contributions is equal to the Pre-Tax Contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Participant (determined prior to the application of this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Participant's actual deferral ratio (determined after application of this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Participant's actual deferral ratio (determined after application of this paragraph) by his "415 Compensation." However, in determining the amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed and/or recharacterized with respect to an affected Highly Compensated Participant as determined herein, such amount shall be reduced by any Excess Deferral Compensation previously 28
distributed to such affected Highly Compensated Participant for his taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year (i) With respect to the distribution of Excess Contributions pursuant to (a) above, such distribution: (1) may be postponed but not later than the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year to which they are allocable; (2) shall be adjusted for Income; and (3) shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution of Excess Contributions (and Income). (ii) With respect to the recharacterization of Excess Contributions pursuant to (a) above, such recharacterized amounts: (1) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the last of those Highly Compensated Participants with Excess Contributions to be recharacterized is notified of the recharacterization and the tax consequences of such recharacterization; (2) shall not exceed the amount of Deferred Compensation on behalf of any Highly Compensated Participant for any Plan Year; (3) shall be treated as voluntary Employee contributions for purposes of section 401(a)(4) of the Code and Treas. Reg. section 29
1.401(k)-1(b). However, for purposes of Section 5.1(c), recharacterized Excess Contributions continue to be treated as Employer contributions that are Deferred Compensation. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions shall continue to be nonforfeitable and subject to the distribution rules as Pre-Tax Contributions; (5) shall be adjusted for Income. (iii) Any distribution and/or recharacterization of less than the entire amount of Excess Contributions shall be treated as pro rata distribution and/or recharacterization of Excess Contributions and Income. (iv) The determination and correction of Excess Contributions of a Highly Compensated Participant whose actual deferral ratio is determined under the family aggregation rules shall be accomplished by reducing the actual deferral ratio as required herein, and the Excess Contributions for the family unit shall then be allocated among the Family Members in proportion to the Pre- Tax Contributions of each Family Member that were combined to determine the group actual deferral ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1990, compliance with the Regulations then in effect shall be deemed to be compliance with this paragraph. (b) Within twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year, the Employer may make a special Qualified Non-Pre-Tax Contribution on behalf of Non- Highly Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 5.2. Such 30
contribution shall be allocated to the Participants Pre-Tax Account of each Non- Highly Compensated Participant in the same proportion that each Non-Highly Compensated Participant's Compensation for the year bears to the total Compensation of all Non-Highly Compensated Participants. (c) If during a Plan Year, the projected aggregate amount of Pre-Tax Contributions to be allocated to all Highly Compensated Participants under this Plan would, by virtue of the tests set forth in Section 5.2(a), cause the Plan to fail such tests, then the Administrator may automatically reduce proportionately or in the order provided in Section 5.1(a) each affected Highly Compensated Participant's deferral election made pursuant to Section 5.1 by an amount necessary to satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 5.2(a). 5.4 Actual Contribution Percentage Tests. (a) The "Actual Contribution Percentage" for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1986 for the Highly Compensated Participant group shall not exceed the greater of: (1) 125 percent of such percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group; or (2) the lesser of 200 percent of such percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group, or such percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group plus 2 percentage points. However, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, to prevent the multiple use of the alternative method described in this paragraph and 31
section 401(m)(9)(A) of the Code, any Highly Compensated Participant eligible to make elective deferrals pursuant to Section 5.1 or any other cash or deferred arrangement maintained by the Employer or a Related Employer and to make Employee contributions or to receive matching contributions under this Plan or under any other plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer shall have his actual contribution ratio reduced pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.401(m)-2. The provisions of section 401(m) and Treas. Reg. sections 1.401(m)- 1(b) and 1.401(m)-2 are incorporated herein by reference. (b) For the purposes of this Section and Section 5.5 "Actual Contribution Percentage" for a Plan Year means, with respect to the Highly Compensated Participant group and Non-Highly Compensated Participant group, the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Participant in each group) of: (1) Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax contributions pursuant to Section 5.5 on behalf of each such Participant for such Plan Year; to (2) the Participant's "415 Compensation" for such Plan Year. (c) For purposes of determining the "Actual Contribution Percentage" and the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions pursuant to Section 5.5, the Plan Administrator may elect to take into account qualified non-elective contributions (as defined in section 32
401(m)(4)(C)) of the Code contributed to any plan maintained by the Employer. Such elective deferrals and qualified non-elective contributions shall be treated as Employer matching contributions subject to Treas. Reg. section 1.401(m)-1(b)(5) which is incorporated herein by reference. However, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, the Plan Year must be the same as the plan year of the plan to which the elective deferrals and the qualified non- elective contributions are made. (d) For the purpose of determining the actual contribution ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee who is subject to the Family Member aggregation rules of section 414(q)(6) of the Code because such Employee is either a "five percent owner" of the Employer or one of the ten (10) Highly Compensated Employees paid the greatest "415 Compensation" during the year, the following shall apply: (i) The combined actual ratio for the family group (which shall be treated as one Highly Compensated Participant) shall be determined by aggregating Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax contributions pursuant to Section 5.3 and "415 Compensation" of all eligible Family Members (including Highly Compensated Participants). However, in applying the $200,000 limit to "415 Compensation" for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, Family Members shall include only the affected Employee's spouse and any lineal descendants who have not attained age 19 before the close of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1990, compliance with the Regulations then in effect shall be deemed to be compliance with this paragraph. 33
(ii) Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax contributions pursuant to Section 5.5 and "415 Compensation" of all Family Members shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the "Actual Contribution Percentage" of the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group except to the extent taken into account in paragraph (i) above. (iii) If a Participant is required to be aggregate as a member of more than one family group in a plan, all Participants who are members of those family groups that include the Participant are aggregated as one family group in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2) above. (e) For purposes of this Section and sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m) of the Code, if two or more plans of the Employer to which matching contributions, Employee contributions, or both, are made are treated as one plan for purposes of sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code (other than the average benefits test under section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code as in effect for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988), such plans shall be treated as one plan. In addition, two or more plans of the Employer to which matching contributions, Employee contributions, or both, are made may be considered as a single plan for purposes of determining whether or not such plans satisfy sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m) of the Code. In such a case, the aggregated plans must satisfy this Section and section 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m) of the Code as though such aggregated plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph (e) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the above, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, an employee stock ownership plan described in section 4975(e)(7) or 409 of 34
the Code may not be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of determining whether the employee stock ownership plan or this Plan satisfies this Section or sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m) of the Code. (f) If a Highly Compensated Participant is a Participant under two or more plans (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in section 4975(e)(7) or 409 of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988) which are maintained by the Employer or Related Company to which matching contributions, Employee contributions, or both, are made, all such contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Participant shall be aggregated for purposes of determining such Highly Compensated Participant's actual contribution ratio. However, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, if the plans have different plan years, this paragraph shall be applied by treating all plans ending with or within the same calendar year as a single plan. 5.5 Adjustment to Actual Contribution Percentage Tests. (a) In the event that, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1986, the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for the Highly Compensated Participant group exceeds the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for the Non- Highly Compensated Participant group, pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Administrator (on or before the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the Plan Year, but in no event later than the close of the following Plan Year) shall direct the Trustee to distribute to the Highly Compensated Participant having the highest actual contribution ratio, his portion of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and Income allocable to such contributions) until either one of the tests set forth in Section 5.4(a) is satisfied, or until his actual contribution ratio equals the actual contribution ratio of the Highly Compensated Participant 35
having the second highest actual contribution ratio. This process shall continue until one of the tests set forth in Section 5.4(a) is satisfied. (b) Any distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and Income) shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions and Income. Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and Income). (c) For each Highly Compensated Participant, the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions is equal to Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and any qualified non- elective contributions or elective deferrals taken into account pursuant to Section 5.4(c) on behalf of the Highly Compensated Participant (determined prior to the application of this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Participant's actual contribution ratio (determined after application of this paragraph) by his "415 Compensation." The actual contribution ratio must be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988. In no case shall the amount of Excess Aggregate Contribution with respect to any Highly Compensated Participant exceed the amount of Excess Contributions recharacterized as voluntary Employee contributions pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and any qualified non-elective contributions or elective deferrals taken into account pursuant to Section 5.4(c) on behalf of such Highly Compensated Participant for such Plan Year. (d) The determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions with respect to any Plan Year shall be made after first determining the Excess Contributions, if any, to be treated as After-Tax contributions due to recharacterization for the plan year of any other 36
qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in section 401(k) of the Code) maintained by the Employer that ends with or within the Plan Year or which is treated as After-Tax contributions due to recharacterization pursuant to Section 5.3(a). (e) If the determination and correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions of a Highly Compensated Participant whose actual contribution ratio is determined under the family aggregation rules, then the actual contribution ratio shall be reduced and the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the family unit shall be allocated among the Family Members in proportion to the sum of Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax contributions pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and any qualified non-elective contributions or elective deferrals taken into account pursuant to Section 5.4(c) of each Family Member that were combined to determine the group actual contribution ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1990, compliance with the Regulations then in effect shall be deemed to be compliance with this paragraph. (f) If during a Plan Year the projected aggregated amount of voluntary Employee contributions and Excess Contributions to be recharacterized as voluntary Employee contributions to be allocated to all Highly Compensated Participants under this Plan would, by virtue of the tests set forth in Section 5.4(a), cause the Plan to fail such tests, then the Plan Administrator may automatically reduce proportionately or in the order provided in Section 5.5(a) each affected Highly Compensated Participant's projected share of such contributions by an amount necessary to satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 5.4(a). (g) Notwithstanding the above, within twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year, the Employer may make a special Qualified Non-Pre-Tax Contribution on behalf of 37
Non-Highly Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 5.4(a). Such contribution shall be allocated to the Participant's Elective Account of each Non-Highly Compensated Participant in the same proportion that each Non-Highly Compensated Participant's Compensation for the year bears to the total Compensation of all Non-Highly Compensated Participants. A separate account shall be maintained for the purpose of excluding such contributions from the "Actual Deferral Percentage" tests pursuant to Section 5.2(a). 5.6 After-Tax Contributions. For Plan Year commencing prior to January 1, 1989, the Employer made payroll deductions for After-Tax Contributions to the Trust in an amount equal to a whole percentage (as authorized by the Participant) not to exceed 6% of his Compensation; provided, further that no After-Tax Contribution may be made by a ----------------- Participant unless he has also authorized the Employer to make Pre-Tax Contributions on his behalf equal to the maximum percentage of his Compensation in effect at the time pursuant to Section 5.1. Effective for Plan Years commencing after December 31, 1988, no After-Tax Contributions may be made to the Plan except as provided in Section 5.1(b)(ii). 5.7 Employer Contributions. (a) Subject to the limitations of Sections 5.9 and 5.10, the Employer shall make an Employer Contribution to the Trust on behalf of each Participant for each payroll period in an amount equal to: 38
(i) 100% of each Pre-Tax Contribution made on behalf of the Participant not in excess of 2% of the Compensation otherwise payable to the Participant for such payroll period; (ii) 25% of each Pre-Tax Contribution made on behalf of the Participant in excess of 2%, but not in excess of 6%, of the Compensation otherwise payable to the Participant for such payroll period. (b) Subject to the limitations of Sections 5.9 and 5.10, each Employer shall make an additional Employer Contribution to the Trust for each Plan Year on behalf of each Participant (i) who is an Employee of such Employer as of December 1 of such Plan Year or (ii) who ceases to be an Employee of such Employer during such Plan Year by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, in an amount equal to such additional whole percentage, not to exceed 50%, of all Pre-Tax Contributions described in paragraph (a)(ii) made on behalf of the Participant as is authorized by the Board or by the Board of Directors Employer in its sole discretion. 5.8 Making of Contributions to Trustee. Employer Contributions and Pre-Tax Contributions shall be made by the Corporation, on behalf of the Employers, in cash to the Trustee as soon as practicable, and in no event later than 30 days after the close of the Plan Year for which they were made, provided that Employer Contributions to be invested in the Investment Fund described in Section 6.1(c) may be made by the Corporation in shares of Corporation Stock. After-Tax Contributions shall be 39
made by the Corporation, on behalf of the Participant, in cash to the Trustee at the same time as the Employer Contributions and Pre-Tax Contributions for the corresponding period. 5.9 Earnings and Profits Limitation. Effective for Plan Years commencing subsequent to December 31, 1994, Employer Contributions and Pre-Tax Contributions shall be made without regard to the Employers' current net income and/or accumulated earnings. Effective for Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 1995, Employer Contribution and Pre- Tax Contributions shall be made only out of the Employer's current net income and or accumulated earnings, as determined, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, for purposes of the Employers' financial statements and their reports, if any, to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any Employer, in its discretion, may make Employer Contributions in any Plan Year on behalf of any other Employer to the extent that such other Employer has insufficient current net income or accumulated earnings for such Plan Year, subject to the limitations of section 404(a)(3)(B) of the Code. 5.10 Forfeitures. (a) All amounts forfeited under the Plan by Participants shall be applied to reduce subsequent Employer Contributions otherwise payable. If the Plan is terminated, any forfeitures not previously applied shall be credited ratably to the Accounts of the Participants, in proportion to the amounts of Employer Contributions credited to their respective Employer Contributions Accounts during the Plan Year in which the Plan is terminated and remaining in such Employer Contributions Accounts as of the date of termination. 40
(b) If a Participant who forfeited his Employer Contributions Account by reason of a distribution under Section 8.3 repays to the Trust, through the Plan Administrator, the full amount distributed from his Pre-Tax Contributions Account pursuant to such Section, the Employer will contribute to the Trust, as soon as practicable after such repayment, an amount equal to the amount in the Employer Contributions Account so forfeited, unadjusted for any gains or losses during the period from the effective date of the distribution to the effective date of repayment. Such repayment by the Participant must be made before the five years after the date of the Participant's resumption of employment covered by the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such repayment may be made by the Participant at any time before the end of a period of 5 consecutive one- year Periods of Separation. The amounts so paid by the Participant and the Employer will be credited to the Participant's After-Tax Contributions Account and Employer Contributions Account in accordance with the Plan as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next following the date on which the Participant's repayment was received by the Plan Administrator. 5.11 Return of Contributions. (a) Contributions to the Trust are conditioned upon the qualification of the Plan under section 401 of the Code. If the Plan is disqualified, the Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to return the contributions made with respect to any period after the effective date of the disqualification to the Corporation within one year after the effective date of such disqualification, to the extent permitted by applicable law. (b) The making of each Employer Contribution and Pre-Tax Contribution is conditioned upon its deductibility under section 404 of the Code. If any portion of an Employer 41
Contribution or a Pre-Tax Contribution is made by reason of (i) a good faith mistake of fact or (ii) a good faith mistake in determining its deductibility, the Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to return to the Corporation such Employer Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution to the extent that it exceeds the amount that would have been contributed if such event had not occurred. Such return shall be made within one year after the date of the disallowance of the deduction or the mistaken payment to the Trustee, as the case may be. Earnings attributable to the excess amount shall not be returned. Losses attributable to the excess amount shall reduce the amount to be returned. If the withdrawal of the amount attributable to the mistaken contribution would cause the balance of any Account to be reduced to less than the balance it would have had if the mistaken contribution had not been made, the amount to be returned to the Corporation shall be limited so as to avoid such reduction. (c) Any amount pertaining to a Pre-Tax Contribution returned to the Corporation pursuant to this Section shall be paid promptly, as additional compensation, to the Participant for whom the Pre-Tax Contribution was made, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 5.12 General Limitation on Contributions. (a) For purposes of this section: (i) "Corporation" shall include any Related Company, whether or not it is an Employer. (ii) The definition of "Related Company" shall be modified as provided in section 415(h) of the Code. 42
(iii) "Compensation" means a Participant's earned income, wages, salaries, and fees for professional services and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with an Employer in a Plan Year (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits and reimbursements, or other expense allowance under a new accountable plan as described in Treas. Reg. section 1.62-2(c)), and excluding the following: (A) Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation which are no includible in the Employee's gross income for the taxable year in which contributed, or Employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan to the extent such contributions are deductible by the Employee, or any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation; (B) Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by the Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; (C) Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; and (D) Other amounts which received special tax benefits, or contributions made by the Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) towards the purchase of an annuity described in section 403(b) of the 43
Code (whether or not the amounts are actually excludable from the gross income of the Employee). For purposes of applying the limitations of this Section 5.12, Compensation for a Plan Year is the Compensation actually paid or includible in gross income during such year. (iv) "Annual Additions" means the sum of the following amounts credited for a Plan Year to a Participant's Accounts under the Plan (excluding Rollover Contributions) and his accounts under all defined contribution plans (as defined in section 415(k) of the Code), whether or not terminated, of the Corporation : (A) Contributions by the Corporation (including Pre-Tax Contributions); (B) Forfeitures; and (C) Participant's After-Tax Contributions. (b) In no event shall the Annual Additions for a Participant for a Plan Year exceed the lesser of: (i) 25% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year, or (ii) $30,000 or such larger amount for defined contribution plans as determined by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the Plan Year pursuant to section 415(d) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations. 44
(c) If the Annual Additions for a Participant for a Plan Year would otherwise exceed the limitations of paragraph(b), the excess amounts shall be eliminated in the following order: (i) from allocations under the Plan occurring after the date allocations under the other defined contribution plans actually are made, and (ii) from allocations under the other plans. (d) Eliminations of excess amounts under the Plan by reason of this Section shall be made as follows: (i) Any After-Tax Contributions provided for in Sections 5.1(b)(ii) with respect to the Participant for the Plan Year causing such excess amount, plus any earnings attributable to such contributions, shall be immediately returned to the Participant. (ii) If an excess amount still exists thereafter, such amount shall be used to reduce the Employer Contributions on behalf of the Participant for the next Plan Year and each succeeding Plan Year, if necessary. However, if the Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end of the Plan Year, any remaining excess amount shall be held in a suspense account and applied to reduce future Employer Contributions for all remaining Participants in the next Plan Year and each succeeding Plan Year, if necessary. 5.13 Rollover Contributions. (a) An Employee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 3.1 or 3.2 may, with the approval of the Plan Administrator after notice to the Plan Administrator made in accordance with Section 16.4, contribute cash to the Trust as a Rollover Contribution. The Plan Administrator may impose such requirements as deemed necessary or desirable to ensure to the extent possible that amounts proposed to be contributed under this Section qualify as Rollover 45
Contributions. An Employee who makes a Rollover Contribution shall become a Participant if he was not a Participant before making such contribution. (b) A Rollover Contribution shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. (c) The Trustee shall hold the Rollover Contribution as a part of the Trust for the benefit of the Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, a Rollover Contribution shall be held and administered in the same manner as an Employer Contribution, except that a Rollover Contribution may not be invested in the Investment Fund described in Section 6.1(c). SECTION 6 - INVESTMENTS 6.1 Investment Funds. The media for investment of amounts held by the Trustee shall be the following Investment Funds: (a) A fund applied by the Trustee to the payment of premiums upon, or consideration for, policies or contracts issued by insurance companies designated by the Board, which policies or contracts provide for a guarantee of principal and a specified rate of interest for a specified term; (b) Shares of stock of one or more mutual funds designated by the Board; and (c) A fund invested by the Trustee in shares of Corporation Stock purchased by the Trustee in the open market or contributed by the Corporation in kind. 46

Any investment direction given by a Participant shall continue in effect until changed by the Participant. A Participant may change his investment direction as to future Pre-Tax contribution and as to the amounts already in his Pre-Tax Contributions Account, After-Tax Contributions Account or Employer Contributions Account, or the account for his Rollover Contributions, at any time. 6.4 Investment of Dividends, Interest, Etc. Dividends, interest and other distributions received by the Trustee with respect to each Investment Fund shall be invested in the same such Fund. 47
6.5 Participant Loan Fund. The Trustee shall establish a Participant Loan Fund, which shall be invested solely in loans made to Participants in accordance with Section 10. Separate accounts shall be established within the Participant Loan Fund to reflect loans made to each Participant.

SECTION 8 - DISTRIBUTIONS ON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 8.1 Distributions Upon Retirement or Disability. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), upon the Retirement or Disability of a Participant, the entire balance in his Accounts shall be distributed to him through one of the methods described in Section 8.4, as elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 16.4. (b) If a Participant retires on an Early Retirement Date or incurs a Disability, he may, by a written irrevocable election filed with the Plan Administrator before the Early Retirement Date, or not later than 30 days after the receipt of notice of eligibility for long-term disability benefits, elect to leave the entire balance (but not less than the entire balance) of his Accounts in the Trust Such Accounts shall be distributed to him (i) upon request made at any time in accordance with Section 16.4, (ii) upon his reaching his Normal Retirement Date or (iii) upon his death, whichever event is earlier.

filing, shall automatically revoke all previous Beneficiary designations. A designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant's Spouse shall not be treated as a valid Beneficiary designation unless: (i) the Spouse does not survive the Participant, or (ii) if the Spouse does survive the Participant, such Spouse consents in writing to such Beneficiary designation in accordance with Section 16.4, and such consent acknowledges the effect of such Beneficiary designation and is witnessed by the Plan representative or a notary public.

predeceased the Participant or for any other reason), the Participant's surviving Spouse shall be the Beneficiary, or if there is no surviving Spouse, then the estate of the Participant shall be the Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary designated by the Participant to receive all or any part of the Participant's Accounts dies after the Participant but before complete distribution of that portion of the Accounts and at the time of the Beneficiary's death there is no valid designation of a contingent Beneficiary, the estate of such Beneficiary shall be the Beneficiary of the portion in question. (e) If there is any question as to the legal right of any Beneficiary to receive a distribution under the Plan, the distribution in question may be made at the discretion of the Plan Administrator to the Participant's surviving Spouse, or if there is no surviving Spouse, then to the estate of the Participant. 8.3 Distributions Upon Other Terminations of Employment. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), upon termination of a Participant's employment with the Employer and all other Related Companies for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, there shall be distributed to such Participant in a Lump Sum Distribution (as described in Section 8.4(b)) the entire balance in his Pre-Tax Contributions Account, his After-Tax Contributions Account and his Rollover Contributions Account plus the balance in his Employer Contributions Account if such Account, as of the date of termination, is vested pursuant to Section 7.3; provided, however, that if the amount to be distributed exceeds $3,500, such amount shall not be distributed unless and until the Participant consents to such distribution in writing in accordance with Section 16.4.

subject to the administrative provisions of the Plan and Trust Agreement and shall be invested at the direction of the Participant. (d) "Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity" means a single premium nontransferable annuity (as defined in section 401(g) of the Code) providing for an annual income payable to the Participant for life, with an annual income payable thereafter to and for the life of the Participant's spouse which is equal to not less than 50% of the amount of the annual income payable to the Participant. (e) "Other Annuity" means a single premium non - transferable annuity (as defined in section 401(g) of the Code) in a form other than that described in paragraph (d) which provides for payments over a period not to exceed the life of the Participant or the joint lives and the life of the survivor of the Participant and his designated beneficiary, or over a period certain not to exceed the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and his designated beneficiary. (f) With respect to a married Participant who (i) dies (on or after his Normal Retirement Date) while still an employee, (ii) begins to receive payments under the Plan on or after his Normal Retirement Date (or his Early Retirement Date), or (iii) separates from service on or after his Normal Retirement Date (or Early Retirement Date) and dies after satisfying eligibility requirements for the payment of benefits under the Plan (except for the Plan requirement that a claim for benefits be filed) but before beginning to receive such benefits, no Other Annuity benefit (as described in paragraph (e)) may be paid unless an election not to take a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity has been made by the Participant, in accordance with, Section 16.4, within the 90- day period ending on the date on which payment of the Participant's 56
benefits under the Plan are to begin. With regard to the election, the Administrator shall provide to the Participant no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days before the "annuity starting date" a written explanation of (i) the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor annuity, (ii) the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor annuity, (iii) the right of the Participant's spouse to consent to any election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor annuity, and (iv) the right of the Participant to revoke such election, and the effect of such revocation. Such election shall not be given effect unless the Participant's Spouse consents in writing to such election in accordance with Section 16.4, and such consent acknowledges the effect of such election and is witnessed by a member of the Plan Administrator or a notary public. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an election by the Participant not to take a Qualified Joint and Survivor annuity shall be given effect if it is established to the satisfaction of a member of the Plan Administrator that the consent required by the preceding sentence may not be obtained because there is no Spouse, because the Spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as may be prescribed in applicable Treasury Regulations. Any consent by a Spouse, or establishment that such consent may not be, obtained, pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse. (g) For the purpose of any distribution pursuant to Section 8, a Participant's Accounts shall be valued as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next following the event which gave rise to the distribution. 57
8.5 Time of Distributions. (a) Subject to the limitations of paragraph (b), each Lump Sum Distribution shall be made, and each other distribution shall begin, as soon as practicable after the Valuation Date referred to in Section 8.4(g). (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), the distribution of each Account shall begin not later than the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which occurs the latest of: (i) the Participant's 65th birthday; (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Participant became a Participant; or (iii) the date on which the Participant's employment with the Employers and Related Companies terminates. (c) If a distribution cannot be made on the date described in paragraph (b) because: (i) the number of shares of Corporation Stock or the amount of cash required to be distributed cannot be ascertained by such date or (ii) the Plan administrator has been unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary after making reasonable efforts to do so, a distribution retroactive to such date may be made no later than 60 days after the earliest date on which the unsatisfied condition referred to above has been satisfied. 8.6 Limitations on Payment Method. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the distribution of a Participant's Accounts made on or after January 1, 1985, whether under the Plan or through the purchase of an annuity contract, shall be made in accordance with the following requirements and shall otherwise comply with section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference: 58
(a) A Participant's Accounts shall be distributed to him not later than April 1st of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 l/2 or (ii) the calendar year in which the Participant retires, provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply in the case of a Participant who is a "five (5) percent owner" at any time during the five (5) Plan Year period ending in the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2 or, in the case of a Participant who becomes a "five (5) percent owner" during any subsequent Plan Year, clause (ii) shall no longer apply and the required beginning date shall be the April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such subsequent Plan Year ends. Alternatively, distributions to a Participant must begin no later than the applicable April 1st as determined under the preceding sentence and must be made over the life of the Participant (or the lives of the Participant and his Beneficiary) or the life expectancy of the Participant (or the life expectancies of the Participant and his Beneficiary) in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, clause (ii) above shall not apply to any Participant unless the Participant had attained age 70 1/2 before January 1, 1988 and was not a "five (5) percent owner" at any time during the Plan Year ending with or within the calendar year in which the Participant attained age 66 1/2 or any subsequent Plan Year. (b) Distributions to a Participant and his Beneficiaries shall only be made in accordance with the incidental death benefit requirements of section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder. Additionally, for calendar years beginning before 1989, distributions may also be made under an alternative method which provides that the then present value of the payments to be made over the period of the Participant's Life expectancy exceeds fifty percent 59
(50%) of the then present value of the total payments to be made to the Participant and his Beneficiaries. (c) For purposes of this Section, the life expectancy of a Participant and a Participant's spouse (other than in the case of a life annuity) may, at the election of the Participant or the Participant's spouse, be redetermined in accordance, with applicable Treasury Regulations. The election, once made, shall be irrevocable. If no election is made by the time distributions must commence, then the life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's spouse shall not be subject to recalculation. Life expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy shall be computed using the return multiples in Tables V and VI of Treas. Reg. section 1.72-9. 8.7 Incapacity of Distributees. If the Plan Administrator finds that a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of mental or physical illness or injury, or is a minor, the Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to make such distribution: (a) to the duly appointed guardian or other person or entity legally charged with the care of such Participant or Beneficiary or his estate, or (b) if no prior claim has been made by any such guardian, person or entity, to a relative or next friend of such Participant or Beneficiary for the benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary. 8.8 Direct Rollover. (a) This Section applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee's election under this Section, a distributes may elect at the time and in the manner 60
prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. (b) For purposes of this Section the following definitions shall apply: (i) An "eligible rollover distribution" is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently, than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to Employer securities). (ii) An "eligible retirement plan" is an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. (iii) A "distributee" includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the Employee's or former Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic 61
relations order, as defined in section 414(p) of the Code are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. (iv) A "direct rollover" is a payment by the plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. SECTION 9 - WITHDRAWALS 9.1 After-Tax, Employer and Rollover Contributions Accounts.

If the Plan Administrator maintains sub- accounts with respect to After-Tax Contributions (and earnings thereon) which were made on or before January 1, 1987, a Participant shall be permitted to designate which sub-account shall be the source for his withdrawal. (ii) He may withdraw part or all of the amount in his Employer Contributions Account which, as of the effective Valuation Date of the withdrawal is attributable to the then-current value of Employer Contributions credited to such Account; such withdrawal shall be limited to the portion of such Account which has been credited to such Account for 62

A Participant may make no more than two withdrawals pursuant to Section 9.1 in any Plan Year. For this purpose, simultaneous withdrawals pursuant to the subsections of Section 9.1 (a) shall constitute one withdrawal, and a withdrawal of all the amounts available under Section 9.1 on account of a hardship withdrawal under Section 9.2 shall not be counted. 9.5 Funds for Withdrawal.

EXHIBIT 5 [LETTERHEAD OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION] August 3, 2000 Lockheed Martin Corporation 6801 Rockledge Drive Bethesda, Maryland 20817 Re: Opinion re: Legality - Registration of Securities for use with respect to the COMSAT Corporation Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan. Ladies and Gentlemen: I submit this opinion to you in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Post-Effective Amendment No.3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") on the date hereof. The Registration Statement registers up to 500,000 shares of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") common stock (the "Common Stock") available for issuance or delivery under the COMSAT Corporation Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), together with an indeterminate number of plan interests to be offered or sold by reason of certain events specified in the Plan, which has been assumed by Lockheed Martin pursuant to the Merger Agreement referenced in the Registration Statement. As Vice President and Associate 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 on 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 Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 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. In giving my consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 nor the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. Very truly yours, /s/ Marian S. Block --------------------- Marian S. Block Vice President and Associate General Counsel Lockheed Martin Corporation cc: Frank H. Menaker, Jr.
