Special Meetings if the Combination Proposal is approved and adopted by the
requisite vote of the respective stockholders of Lockheed and Martin Marietta,
and after receipt of requisite regulatory approvals. See "THE COMBINATION" and
"THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT."

THE COMBINATION PROPOSAL
Consideration to be Received by Lockheed Stockholders. Pursuant to the
Reorganization Agreement and the Pacific Merger Agreement, Pacific Sub will be
merged with and into Lockheed. Lockheed will be the surviving corporation of the
Pacific Sub Merger and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin.
Upon consummation of the Pacific Sub Merger, (i) each outstanding share of
Lockheed Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.63 shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock and (ii) any outstanding shares of Lockheed Common
Stock owned by Martin Marietta or any subsidiary of Martin Marietta or held by
Lockheed in its treasury will be cancelled and cease to exist. Fractional shares
of Lockheed Martin Common Stock will not be issued in connection with the
Pacific Sub Merger. Holders of Lockheed Common Stock otherwise entitled to a
fractional share will be paid an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of
the fair market value of a whole share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock,
determined as set forth in the Reorganization Agreement. See "THE REORGANIZATION
AGREEMENT -- Consideration to be
7
18
Received in the Combination." For a description of the Lockheed Martin Common
Stock, see "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK." For a summary of the
principal differences between the rights of holders of Lockheed Common Stock and
the rights of holders of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, see "COMPARISON OF
STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS."
LOCKHEED STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND IN THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH
THEIR PROXY CARDS.
Consideration to be Received by Martin Marietta Stockholders. Pursuant to
the Reorganization Agreement and the Atlantic Merger Agreement, Atlantic Sub
will be merged with and into Martin Marietta. Martin Marietta will be the
surviving corporation of the Atlantic Sub Merger and will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Lockheed Martin. Upon consummation of the Atlantic Sub Merger, (i)
each outstanding share of Martin Marietta Common Stock will be converted into
the right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, (ii) each
outstanding share of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock will be converted
into the right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
and (iii) any outstanding shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock owned by
Lockheed or any subsidiary of Lockheed will be cancelled and cease to exist. See
"THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Consideration to be Received in the
Combination." For a description of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock and Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock, see "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL
STOCK." For a summary of the principal differences between the rights of holders
of Martin Marietta Common Stock and Lockheed Martin Common Stock, see
"COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS."
MARTIN MARIETTA STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND IN THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES
WITH THEIR PROXY CARDS.
Ownership of Lockheed Martin After the Combination. Immediately following
the Combination (i) the former holders of Lockheed Common Stock will
collectively hold approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock, and (ii) the former holders of Martin Marietta
Common Stock will collectively hold approximately 48% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. Immediately following the
Combination, GE, which currently holds 20,000,000 shares of Martin Marietta
Series A Preferred Stock, will hold 20,000,000 shares of Lockheed Martin Series
A Preferred Stock, which will be convertible into approximately 28.9 million
shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. Except as required by law or for
specified voting rights in the event of a default under Lockheed Martin's senior
bank facility, a failure to pay dividends under the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock or certain mergers, consolidations, business combinations or
share exchanges as described under "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL
STOCK -- Series A Preferred Stock -- Voting Rights," the holders of the Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote on any matter on
which the holders of any voting securities (including the Lockheed Martin Common
Stock) of Lockheed Martin will be entitled to vote. If the Lockheed Martin
Series A Preferred Stock were to be converted immediately after the Combination,
approximately 45% of the shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock then outstanding
would be held by former holders of Lockheed Common Stock, approximately 42%
would be held by former holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock and
approximately 13% would be held by GE.
Recommendation of Lockheed's Board of Directors: Lockheed's Reasons for the
Combination. The Board of Directors of Lockheed (the "Lockheed Board"), by
unanimous vote, has determined that the Combination is in the best interests of
the holders of Lockheed Common Stock and recommends that holders of Lockheed
Common Stock vote in favor of the Combination Proposal. The decision of the
Lockheed Board to enter into the Reorganization Agreement and to recommend that
stockholders vote in favor of the Combination Proposal is based upon its
evaluation of a number of factors including, among others, the opinion of Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley"), Lockheed's financial advisor for
the Combination, that the exchange ratio of Lockheed Martin Common Stock for
Lockheed Common Stock reflected in the Reorganization Agreement is fair from a
financial point of view to the stockholders of Lockheed. See "THE
COMBINATION -- Recommendation of Lockheed Board; Lockheed's Reasons for the
Combination" and "-- Fairness Opinions -- Lockheed."

19
Recommendation of Martin Marietta's Board of Directors: Martin Marietta's
Reasons for the Combination. The Board of Directors of Martin Marietta (the
"Martin Marietta Board"), by unanimous vote, has determined that the Combination
is in the best interests of the stockholders of Martin Marietta and recommends
that stockholders of Martin Marietta vote in favor of the Combination Proposal.
The decision of the Martin Marietta Board to enter into the Reorganization
Agreement and to recommend that stockholders vote in favor of the Combination
Proposal is based upon its evaluation of a number of factors including, among
others, the opinion of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. ("Bear Stearns"), Martin
Marietta's financial advisor for the Combination, to the effect that the
Combination is fair from a financial point of view to the stockholders of Martin
Marietta. See "THE COMBINATION -- Recommendation of Martin Marietta Board;
Martin Marietta's Reasons for the Combination" and "-- Fairness
Opinions -- Martin Marietta."
Conditions to the Combination. The respective obligations of Lockheed and
Martin Marietta to consummate the Combination are subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, including approval of the stockholders of both Lockheed and
Martin Marietta, receipt of certain required regulatory approvals, letters from
the independent auditors for Martin Marietta and Lockheed with respect to the
availability of the pooling of interests method of accounting, opinions from tax
counsel for Martin Marietta and for Lockheed with respect to the tax
consequences of the Combination, and confirmation of certain factual matters.
See "THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Conditions to the Combination."
Termination of the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement
is subject to termination at the option of either Lockheed or Martin Marietta if
the Combination is not consummated on or before March 31, 1995, and prior to
such time upon the occurrence of certain events. Under certain circumstances,
Lockheed or Martin Marietta may be required to pay to the other a fee in the
amount of $50 million upon the termination of the Reorganization Agreement. See
"THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Termination." In addition, in certain cases a
party's expenses, not to exceed $15 million, are reimbursable upon termination.
See "THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Expenses."
Regulatory Approvals. The Combination is subject to the requirements of the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR
Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder which provide that certain
transactions may not be consummated until required information and materials are
furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust
Division") and the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the requisite
waiting period has expired or is terminated. Lockheed and Martin Marietta filed
the required information and materials with the Antitrust Division and the FTC
effective on September 23, 1994. The FTC, which reviewed the transaction, made a
request for additional information on October 21, 1994. Both Lockheed and Martin
Marietta completed their respective submissions of additional information on
December 22, 1994, and the statutory waiting period under the HSR Act expired on
January 11, 1995.
On December 22, 1994, Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and Lockheed Martin
executed an Agreement Containing Consent Order with the FTC staff, which was
provisionally accepted by the FTC on January 11, 1995, subject to further review
at the expiration of a public comment period which expires on March 28, 1995.
After the expiration of the public comment period, the FTC will vote to either
finally accept the Consent Order or withdraw its acceptance of the Consent
Order.
With respect to the HSR Act, Lockheed, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin
may consummate the Combination at any time subsequent to the January 11, 1995,
expiration of the HSR waiting period and are not required to delay consummation
until expiration of the public comment period and final FTC acceptance. If the
Combination is consummated prior to final FTC acceptance of the Consent Order
and the FTC withdraws its provisional acceptance of the Consent Order, the FTC
could file an administrative action challenging the Combination in whole or in
part, and could seek divestiture of all or part of Lockheed Martin's assets. Any
adverse FTC decision in any such administrative action would be subject to
review by a federal court of appeals. If the FTC withdraws its provisional
acceptance of the Consent Order prior to consummation of the Combination, the
FTC could seek a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary injunction
pursuant to Section 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act to prevent
consummation of the transaction subject to the completion of an administrative
action, and any resulting appeals, adjudicating the lawfulness of the
transaction.
9
20
Lockheed, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin do not believe that, if the
Combination is consummated, compliance with the Consent Order will have a
material adverse affect on the business, results of operations or financial
condition of Lockheed Martin and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the
operating sectors anticipated to be organized by Lockheed Martin as reportable
business segments. See "BUSINESS OF LOCKHEED MARTIN" and "RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS -- Lockheed Plea Agreement."
Lockheed, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin have agreed to comply with
the Consent Order during the public comment period and, if the FTC withdraws its
provisional acceptance of the Consent Order, for ten days thereafter. See "THE
COMBINATION -- Regulatory Approvals" for a summary of the material elements of
the Consent Order.
Accounting Treatment. The Combination is expected to qualify as a pooling
of interests for accounting and financial reporting purposes. It is a condition
to the Combination that Lockheed and Martin Marietta each receive from Ernst &
Young LLP, Lockheed's and Martin Marietta's independent auditors, a letter dated
the Merger Date to the effect that they concur with the conclusions of
Lockheed's and Martin Marietta's managements that the transactions contemplated
by the Reorganization Agreement, if consummated, will qualify as transactions to
be accounted for in accordance with the pooling of interests method of
accounting under the requirements of Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, of
the Accounting Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, as amended by applicable pronouncements by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("APB No. 16"). See "THE COMBINATION -- Accounting Treatment."
Opinions of Financial Advisors. On August 29, 1994, prior to the execution
of the Reorganization Agreement, Morgan Stanley rendered to the Lockheed Board
its written opinion to the effect that, as of such date, the exchange ratio of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock for Lockheed Common Stock reflected in the
Reorganization Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the
stockholders of Lockheed. Morgan Stanley has updated its opinion by delivery to
the Lockheed Board of a written opinion dated the date hereof.
On August 27, 1994, Bear Stearns delivered to the Martin Marietta Board its
written opinion to the effect that, as of such date, the Combination was fair
from a financial point of view to the stockholders of Martin Marietta. Bear
Stearns has updated its opinion by delivery to the Martin Marietta Board of a
written opinion dated the date hereof.
Lockheed and Martin Marietta stockholders are urged to read carefully the
opinions of Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns, respectively, which are set forth
in their entirety as Appendices II and III to this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, for a description of the procedures followed, the factors
considered and the assumptions made by Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns in
rendering their respective opinions. See "THE COMBINATION -- Fairness Opinions."
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences. The Combination has been
structured to qualify as a nontaxable exchange under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). It is a condition to the Combination that
Lockheed receive an opinion from O'Melveny & Myers (counsel to Lockheed) and
that Martin Marietta receive an opinion from King & Spalding (tax counsel to
Martin Marietta) to the effect that no gain or loss will be recognized by
Lockheed or Martin Marietta, as the case may be, or their respective
stockholders in connection with the Combination (other than with respect to cash
received in lieu of fractional shares by holders of Lockheed Common Stock). See
"THE COMBINATION -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."
Appraisal Rights. Holders of Lockheed Common Stock are not entitled to
dissenters' or appraisal rights in connection with the Pacific Sub Merger
because the Lockheed Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange
and the shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock that such holders will be
entitled to receive in the Pacific Sub Merger will also be listed on a national
securities exchange. Holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock are not entitled to
dissenters' or appraisal rights in connection with the Atlantic Sub Merger
because the Martin Marietta Common Stock is listed on a national securities
exchange.
The holder of the outstanding shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred
Stock, GE, is entitled to exercise appraisal rights under Title 3, Subtitle 2 of
the MGCL. However, the management of GE has agreed to recommend to its Board of
Directors that GE not assert any appraisal rights under the MGCL in
10
21
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement
and that GE vote its shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock in favor
of the Combination Proposal. See "THE COMBINATION -- Appraisal Rights."
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Matters of special consideration to be noted by stockholders in determining
whether or not to vote in favor of the Combination Proposal include the
following: the possibility that currently unanticipated difficulties may arise
in integrating the operations of two major corporations; the risk that the
synergies expected from combining the operations of Lockheed and Martin Marietta
may not be realized; the possible adverse impact upon the combined operations of
Lockheed Martin of the plea agreement of Lockheed relating to violations of the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by a Lockheed division primarily engaged in the
production of military aircraft, including the possibility of suspension or
debarment from future government contracting, and the related U.S. Department of
State's policy to prospectively deny defense-related export privileges to that
division, subject to the grant on a case-by-case basis of transaction related
exceptions; the transition costs and expenses expected to be incurred in
connection with consummating the Combination and integrating the operations of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta, which costs and expenses (certain of which will
not be allowable under the Federal Acquisition Regulations) are currently
estimated to total approximately $850 million and will be charged against the
earnings of Lockheed Martin, primarily in 1995; and the number and terms of
authorized shares of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred Stock which may be
authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Lockheed Martin without
further stockholder approval. See "BUSINESS OF LOCKHEED MARTIN"; "RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS -- Lockheed Plea Agreement"; Note 3 under "NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO
FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"; "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN
CAPITAL STOCK"; and "THE COMBINATION -- Recommendation of Lockheed Board;
Lockheed's Reasons for the Combination"; and "-- Fairness Opinions."
THE PLAN PROPOSALS
The Lockheed Board and the Martin Marietta Board believe that the future
growth and success of Lockheed Martin after the Combination will be enhanced by
the ability of Lockheed Martin and its subsidiaries to attract, motivate, retain
and reward talented and experienced individuals in a position to contribute to
Lockheed Martin's success by providing an opportunity to obtain an increased
proprietary interest in Lockheed Martin's performance. Therefore, the Lockheed
Board and the Martin Marietta Board recommend that their respective stockholders
approve the adoption of the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan and the Lockheed Martin
Directors Plan. See "LOCKHEED MARTIN 1995 OMNIBUS PERFORMANCE AWARD PLAN" and
"LOCKHEED MARTIN DIRECTORS DEFERRED STOCK PLAN."

(2) Actual cash dividends paid divided by the average number of shares that
would have been outstanding if the Combination had been effected for these
periods using the stated exchange ratios provided for by the Reorganization
Agreement. An initial annual dividend rate of $1.40 per Lockheed Martin
share is contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. On an equivalent
share basis this would reflect $2.28 per equivalent Lockheed share and $1.40
per equivalent Martin Marietta share. (See "THE COMBINATION -- Certain
Litigation" for a description of a proposed litigation settlement that
would, if consummated, result in an increase in the rate of such dividend
for three quarters following consummation of the Combination.)

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE INFORMATION
The Lockheed Common Stock and the Martin Marietta Common Stock are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") and certain other stock exchanges.
On August 29, 1994, the last full trading day prior to the public announcement
of the proposed Combination, the closing price on the NYSE Composite Tape was
$66 per share of Lockheed Common Stock and $48 1/4 per share of Martin Marietta
Common Stock. On February 8, 1995, the most recent practicable date prior to the
printing of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the closing price on the NYSE
Composite Tape was $74 1/8 per share of Lockheed Common Stock and $45 3/4 per
share of Martin Marietta Common Stock. Holders of Lockheed Common Stock and
Martin Marietta Common Stock are urged to obtain current market quotations prior
to making any decision with respect to the Combination. See "COMPARATIVE PER
SHARE MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION."
LISTING OF LOCKHEED MARTIN COMMON STOCK; QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Lockheed Martin expects to apply for listing of the Lockheed Martin Common
Stock on the NYSE and it is anticipated that such shares will trade on the NYSE
upon official notice of issuance under the symbol LMT. See "THE
COMBINATION -- Stock Exchange Listing."
Except as described in the next paragraph, it is expected that the
quarterly dividend with respect to Lockheed Martin Common Stock will be at the
annual rate of $1.40 per share, subject to approval and declaration by the
Lockheed Martin Board. On an equivalent share basis this would represent $2.28
per equivalent share of Lockheed Common Stock and $1.40 per equivalent share of
Martin Marietta Common Stock. The annual rate of $1.40 per share of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock is intended to maintain the current indicated annual
dividend rate for the holders of Lockheed Common Stock and represents an
increase of approximately 46% over the current indicated annual dividend rate
for the holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock (the current indicated annual
dividend rates being based on the most recent quarterly dividend payments of
$0.57 per share for Lockheed and $0.24 per share for Martin Marietta). The
payment of dividends by Lockheed Martin will, however, necessarily be dependent
on business conditions, Lockheed Martin's financial position and earnings, and
other factors.
In connection with a proposed settlement of certain stockholder litigation,
it is contemplated that Lockheed Martin will agree to pay a regular quarterly
dividend of $0.40 (rather than $0.35) per share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
for each of the first three quarters after consummation of the Combination and
court approval of the settlement, subject to certain conditions. See "THE
COMBINATION -- Certain Litigation."

proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Lockheed Common
Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Lockheed
Meeting.
Under Lockheed's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the DGCL,
the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Lockheed Common Stock outstanding on the Lockheed Record Date is
required to approve and adopt the Reorganization Agreement and the Pacific
Merger Agreement. Approval of the adoption of each of the Plan Proposals
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Lockheed Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on that
Plan Proposal, provided that the total number of votes cast for and against that
Plan Proposal is greater than 50% of the shares of Lockheed Common Stock issued

LOCKHEED, MARTIN MARIETTA AND LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Lockheed." Participants in the
Lockheed ESOP will receive separate information from US Trust regarding the
manner by which a participant may instruct US Trust regarding the voting on the
Combination Proposal and each of the Plan Proposals.

held by GE) outstanding and entitled to vote on the Combination Proposal.
Participants in the Martin Marietta Dividend Reinvestment Plan and certain of
Martin Marietta's benefit plans are entitled to one vote for each full share of
Martin Marietta Common Stock held under each plan. Shares of Martin Marietta
Common Stock held in accounts under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be
included in the proxy sent to the account owner.
Bankers Trust Company, as trustee of the Martin Marietta Corporation
Performance Sharing Plan and the Martin Marietta Corporation Savings and
Investment Plan for Hourly Employees, reported that it held, as of December 31,
1994, 8,486,374 shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock (approximately 8.83% of
the Martin Marietta Common Stock outstanding on December 31, 1994). Bankers
Trust Company expressly disclaimed beneficial ownership of these shares. Each
participant in these plans will receive an instruction card on which the
participant may direct Bankers Trust Company as to the manner in which shares of
Martin Marietta Common Stock allocated to the participant's plan account are to
be voted. In addition, as of December 31, 1994, Bankers Trust Company reported
beneficial ownership of 1,810,544 shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock
(approximately 1.88% of the Martin Marietta Common Stock outstanding on December
31, 1994) as trustee for various trust and employee benefit plans not associated
with Martin Marietta.
Effective August 15, 1994, Martin Marietta Common Stock was offered as an
investment option to participants in the Sandia Corporation Savings and Security
Plan and the Sandia Corporation Savings and Income Plan. Participants in these
plans may direct Fidelity Management Trust Company, as trustee for these plans,
as to the manner in which shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock allocated to
the plan participant's account are to be voted. Effective October 1, 1994,
Martin Marietta Common Stock was also offered as an investment option to
participants in the Martin Marietta Corporation Performance Sharing Plan for
Puerto Rico Employees. Participants in that plan may direct Bankers Trust
Company as to the manner in which shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock
allocated to the plan participant's account are to be voted. Participants in the
Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly Employees,
the Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan for Salaried
Employees and the Martin Marietta Energy Systems Inc. Savings Plan for Salaried
and Hourly Employees may direct Chemical Bank, the trustee of these plans, as to
the manner in which shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock allocated to the plan
participant's account are to be voted.
If a participant under any of the above plans does not return a voting
instruction card in a timely manner or returns a card without indicating any
voting instructions, subject to the requirements of applicable law, the shares
will be voted in the same proportion as shares for which voting instructions are
received for that plan.
The Martin Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta Series A Preferred
Stock will vote together as a single class on the proposal to approve the
Reorganization Agreement and the Atlantic Merger Agreement. Each holder of
record, as of the Martin Marietta Record Date, of Martin Marietta Common Stock
is entitled to cast one vote per share in person or by proxy, on each proposal
properly presented at the Martin Marietta Meeting. GE, as the holder of all of
the Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock, is entitled to cast, in person or
by proxy, 28,941,466 votes, representing the number of shares of Martin Marietta
Common Stock into which the Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible. As a holder of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock, GE is not
entitled to vote on either of the Plan Proposals. The presence, in person or by
proxy, of the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of the
outstanding shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum with respect to the
Combination Proposal at the Martin Marietta Meeting. The presence, in person or
by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Martin
Marietta Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum with respect to each
of the Plan Proposals at the Martin Marietta Meeting.
17
28
Under Martin Marietta's Charter and the MGCL, the affirmative vote, in
person or by proxy, of the holders of record of a majority of the combined
voting power of the shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta
Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the Martin Marietta Record Date, voting
together as a single class, is required to approve the Reorganization Agreement
and the Atlantic Merger Agreement. The management of GE has agreed to support
the Combination and to recommend to its Board of Directors that GE's shares of
Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock be voted in favor thereof. Assuming GE
votes in favor of the Combination Proposal, the Combination Proposal will be
approved if the holders of approximately 35% of the outstanding shares of Martin
Marietta Common Stock vote in favor thereof. If GE were not to vote in favor of
the Combination Proposal, the Combination Proposal would be approved only if
approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock
voted in favor thereof. See "OWNERSHIP OF LOCKHEED, MARTIN MARIETTA AND LOCKHEED
MARTIN -- Martin Marietta." Approval of the adoption of each of the Plan
Proposals requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Martin
Marietta Record Date. In addition, the Combination Proposal and each of the Plan
Proposals must also be approved by the holders of shares of Lockheed Common
Stock as described above.
PROXIES
All shares of Lockheed Common Stock, Martin Marietta Common Stock and
Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock represented by properly executed
proxies received prior to or at the Lockheed Meeting, or the Martin Marietta
Meeting, as the case may be, and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with
the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated on
a properly executed returned proxy, such proxies will be voted FOR the
Combination Proposal and FOR each of the Plan Proposals. A properly executed
proxy marked "ABSTAIN," although counted for purposes of determining whether
there is a quorum and for purposes of determining the aggregate voting power and
number of shares represented and entitled to vote at the applicable Special
Meeting, will not be voted. Accordingly, since the affirmative vote of a
majority of the aggregate voting power (in the case of Lockheed as it relates to
the Combination Proposal and in the case of Martin Marietta as it relates to the
Combination Proposal and each of the Plan Proposals), or a majority of the
aggregate voting power present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting (in
the case of Lockheed as it relates to each of the Plan Proposals) is required
for approval of a particular proposal, a proxy marked "ABSTAIN" will have the
effect of a vote against the proposal. Shares represented by "broker non-votes"
(i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees which are represented at a meeting but
with respect to which the broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a
particular proposal) will be counted for purposes of determining whether there
is a quorum at the applicable Special Meeting but, in the case of Lockheed as it
relates to each of the Plan Proposals, will not be counted as present in person
or by proxy. In accordance with NYSE rules, brokers and nominees are precluded
from exercising their voting discretion on the Combination Proposal and the Plan
Proposals and thus, absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of
such shares, are not empowered to vote such shares on the Combination Proposal
or the Plan Proposals. Therefore, since the affirmative vote of a majority of
the aggregate voting power is required for approval of the Combination Proposal,
and in the case of Martin Marietta each of the Plan Proposals, a "broker
non-vote" with respect to the Combination Proposal, and in the case of Martin
Marietta each of the Plan Proposals, will have the effect of a vote against the
Combination Proposal and in the case of Martin Marietta each of the Plan
Proposals.
At the time this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus was filed with the
Commission, neither the Lockheed Board nor the Martin Marietta Board was aware
that any matter not referred to herein would be presented for action at their
respective Special Meetings. It is intended that discretionary authority
conferred in the proxies will be exercised with respect to the vote on any
matters incident to the conduct of the respective Special Meetings.
A stockholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to its use by
delivering to the Secretary of Lockheed or Martin Marietta, as the case may be,
a signed notice of revocation or a later dated signed proxy or by attending the
applicable Special Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Lockheed
Meeting or the Martin Marietta Meeting will not in itself constitute the
revocation of a proxy.

It is the general practice of Lockheed and Martin Marietta to keep
confidential proxy cards, ballots and voting tabulations that identify
individual stockholders, except where disclosure is mandated by law, such
disclosure of a stockholder's vote is expressly requested by that stockholder or
during a contested election. It is also the general practice that the tabulators
and inspectors of election be independent and not employees of Lockheed or
Martin Marietta.
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be paid by Lockheed for Lockheed
proxies and by Martin Marietta for Martin Marietta proxies. In addition to
solicitation by mail, arrangements will be made with brokerage houses and other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxy material to beneficial
owners; and Lockheed, or Martin Marietta, as the case may be, will, upon
request, reimburse them for their reasonable expenses in so doing. Lockheed has
retained Georgeson & Company Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies and to
verify certain records related to the solicitation at a fee of $15,000 plus
expenses. Martin Marietta has retained Morrow & Co., Inc. to aid in the
solicitation of proxies and to verify certain records related to the
solicitation at a fee of $25,000 plus expenses. To the extent necessary in order
to ensure sufficient representation at its Special Meeting, Lockheed or Martin
Marietta may request by telephone or telegram the return of proxies. The extent
to which this will be necessary depends entirely upon how promptly proxies are
returned. Stockholders are urged to send in their proxies without delay.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND IN ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THEIR PROXY
CARDS. A TRANSMITTAL FORM WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SURRENDER OF STOCK
CERTIFICATES FOR LOCKHEED COMMON STOCK, MARTIN MARIETTA COMMON STOCK AND MARTIN
MARIETTA SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK WILL BE MAILED BY LOCKHEED AND MARTIN MARIETTA
TO THEIR RESPECTIVE STOCKHOLDERS AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER THE CONSUMMATION
OF THE COMBINATION.
THE COMBINATION
BACKGROUND
Since 1985, the Federal defense budget for research, development, test and
evaluation and procurement has been reduced by almost two-thirds in constant,
inflation adjusted dollars. This reduction has caused continued pressures on
participants in the aerospace/defense industry to consolidate in order to
maintain critical mass and production economies. Both Lockheed and Martin
Marietta have been active participants in the consolidation of the industry. The
major acquisitions during this period involving Lockheed and Martin Marietta
included the following: in 1986, Lockheed purchased Sanders Associates, Inc., a
defense and commercial electronics company, for approximately $1.2 billion; in
1993, Lockheed purchased the Fort Worth Division of General Dynamics for
approximately $1.5 billion; in 1988, Martin Marietta purchased Gould Inc.'s
Ocean Systems Division for approximately $117 million; in 1993, Martin Marietta
effected a combination with the GE Aerospace businesses in a transaction valued
at approximately $3.05 billion; and, in 1994, Martin Marietta acquired the
General Dynamics Space Systems Division for approximately $161 million.
In light of the anticipated continuation of decreases in military spending
and the accelerating consolidation in the aerospace/defense industry, Lockheed's
management and the Lockheed Board have periodically reviewed Lockheed's
strategic planning, including but not limited to the possibility of making
acquisitions, potential internal investment and entering into joint ventures and
business combinations with companies engaged in a similar or related business.
Lockheed retained Morgan Stanley to advise it regarding possible strategic
alternatives. Lockheed's strategic priorities as stated by management and the
Lockheed Board are to maximize long-term stockholder value as a continuing
entity by strengthening Lockheed's position in a consolidating industry and
expanding into related businesses, while keeping Lockheed financially sound
without excessive leverage.
In response to the significant reduction in the Federal defense budget
referred to above and in anticipation of continued consolidation in the
aerospace/defense industry, in 1990 Martin Marietta adopted what it refers to as
its "Peace Dividend Strategy." This strategy called for (i) exploiting expansion
opportunities resulting from the consolidation in the aerospace/defense
industry, thereby maintaining the
19
30
technological and programmatic business base for long-term industry leadership;
(ii) aggressively expanding Martin Marietta's civil, commercial and
international businesses in closely related markets such as energy, information,
materials and services; and (iii) pursuing other steps to enhance stockholder
value, such as a share repurchase program. Management of Martin Marietta has
periodically reviewed the bases for the strategy with the Martin Marietta Board
and has actively pursued executing this strategy. The Martin Marietta Board
believes that a new phase of the consolidation process is now underway, in which
successful companies will seek to improve operating efficiencies, position
themselves competitively across a number of key industry segments, facilitate
efficient investment in research and development and expand in complementary
commercial, civil and international markets, thereby balancing their risk
profiles and potentially emerging as strategic participants in the restructured
aerospace/defense industry.
On March 19, 1994, Daniel M. Tellep, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of Lockheed, telephoned Norman R. Augustine, Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Marietta, regarding the possibility
of a business combination between Lockheed and Martin Marietta. Messrs. Tellep
and Augustine agreed that representatives of the two companies should meet to
explore various possibilities.
On March 22, 1994, members of senior management of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta, including Messrs. Tellep and Augustine, held initial discussions
regarding a possible transaction between the two companies. Messrs. Tellep and
Augustine both stressed that neither Lockheed nor Martin Marietta was for sale.
The structure discussed was based upon the concept of a "merger of equals"
(i.e., a strategic combination of two similarly-sized companies in which neither
company is acquiring the other and each has an approximately equal voice in the
management of the combined entity) and each executive presented his position as
to the parameters of such a business combination. Further discussions regarding
the business rationale underlying a business combination, possible synergies to
be realized and structural details of a potential combination of the two
companies occurred at a meeting of senior executives held on March 25, 1994.
On March 29, 1994, legal representatives of each company met to discuss,
among other things, the possible structure of a business combination and related
legal issues. The parties also negotiated and executed a Confidentiality and
Standstill Agreement, dated March 29, 1994 (the "Confidentiality and Standstill
Agreement"), relating, among other things, to the information to be provided by
each company to the other and limiting the ability of each party for three years
to acquire any voting securities or assets of, or solicit proxies or make a
public announcement of a proposal for any extraordinary transaction with respect
to, the other party. Both parties believed the Confidentiality and Standstill
Agreement was necessary and appropriate since neither company was for sale.
On March 30, 1994, meetings occurred between members of senior financial
management of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, as well as the investment bankers
for each company, to discuss, among other things, the financial aspects of a
possible business combination, including valuation concepts. Further discussion
occurred concerning the business rationale and synergies that might be obtained
from the transaction.
During a regularly scheduled meeting of the Lockheed Board on April 4,
1994, Mr. Tellep informed the Lockheed Board of the discussions with senior
management of Martin Marietta. Presentations regarding a possible business
combination were made by senior management, and outside legal counsel for
Lockheed gave a presentation on the duties of directors in considering a
business combination. Representatives of Morgan Stanley were also present. At
that meeting, the Lockheed Board decided to discontinue further discussions with
Martin Marietta pending further study by Lockheed's senior management of the
issues raised by a possible business combination.
During a regularly scheduled meeting of the Martin Marietta Board on April
28, 1994, an initial presentation regarding a possible business combination with
Lockheed was made to the Martin Marietta Board by senior management.
Representatives of Bear Stearns were also present and participated. The
presentation to and discussion by the Martin Marietta Board was wide ranging and
included, among other things, a review of (a) management's current view of the
financial condition and prospects of Martin Marietta over the period encompassed
by the corporation's planning process; (b) the strategic alternatives available
to Martin Marietta and their possible implications in light of management's
objective of continuing stockholder
20
31
value growth; and (c) the current state of the industry consolidation and
potential consolidation opportunities and trends in the foreseeable future. A
review of Lockheed's organization, businesses, management and financials was
provided to the Martin Marietta Board, together with a discussion of the
potential strategic benefits of a business combination. A summary of the
financial implications was also provided. In addition, Bear Stearns presented an
independent view of possible market reactions and competitive responses to the
potential combination.
During a regularly scheduled meeting of the Lockheed Board on May 9, 1994,
Mr. Tellep gave the Lockheed Board management's assessment of the strategic
options then available to Lockheed. Mr. Tellep reviewed Lockheed's strategic
situation, including the continued cuts in defense spending and the challenging
environment for foreign military and non-defense sales. Possible acquisition
candidates which had been identified by management were regarded as either too
expensive or unattractive for other reasons. He stated that a "merger of equals"
with a company in the same or similar business continued to be a viable
alternative. Mr. Tellep also described to the Lockheed Board possible joint
ventures and the possibility of a share repurchase program. Mr. Tellep undertook
to present strategic recommendations to the Lockheed Board at its regularly
scheduled meeting in June 1994.
On June 14, 1994, the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers
of Lockheed and Martin Marietta met to discuss, among other things, the basic
organizational structure of a combined company, valuation principles and the
structure of its board of directors. Representatives of Lockheed noted that, due
to the changing environment in the aerospace/defense industry, management of
Lockheed believed that a significant management presence in the Washington, D.C.
area was desirable and, accordingly, management of Lockheed had considered
moving Lockheed's executive offices to the East Coast. The parties agreed that
the location of the headquarters of the combined entity should be in the
Washington, D.C. area.
During the regularly scheduled meeting of the Lockheed Board on June 20,
1994, Mr. Tellep gave an update on the strategic options available to Lockheed.
He noted the continued cuts in U.S. defense spending and the challenges to
various defense programs, including some of the programs in which Lockheed was
involved. After discussion, the Lockheed Board determined to defer any major
decisions until the strategic situation was further defined. The Lockheed Board
indicated a strong desire for additional details and encouraged continued
discussions with Martin Marietta.
On June 24, 1994, during a regularly scheduled meeting, the Martin Marietta
Board was provided a status report concerning the activities that had transpired
since their April 28 meeting.
On June 30, 1994, Messrs. Tellep and Augustine met to review the progress
of the discussions regarding a possible business combination and to discuss
issues requiring resolution in future meetings and organizational issues,
including their respective roles in a combined company.
On July 13, 1994, the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers
of Lockheed and Martin Marietta met to discuss several matters, including but
not limited to a proposed management philosophy for a combined company,
potential consolidation efficiencies, staffing, plans for contacting major
customers in the Department of Defense and NASA and the basis on which due
diligence reviews of the respective companies would occur. In addition, the
parties discussed the potential location of the executive offices of a combined
company and concluded for efficiency and economic reasons that the current
Martin Marietta headquarters facility would be used.
On July 20, 21 and 29, 1994, members of senior management of each of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta as well as their respective legal and financial
advisors met to continue discussions regarding the structure, financial matters
and corporate governance matters relating to a possible business combination. In
connection with these meetings, Mr. Augustine telephoned the members of the
Martin Marietta Board and provided them with an overview of the status of
discussions with Lockheed and the various issues under consideration.
At a special meeting of the Martin Marietta Board on July 27, 1994, the key
management and organizational concepts of the combination were discussed,
together with management's views of the necessary near term actions required to
resolve current open issues.
21
32
During a regularly scheduled meeting of the Martin Marietta Board on July
28, 1994, the progress of the discussions with Lockheed was discussed in detail.
In this regard, Mr. Augustine made a presentation concerning management's review
of potential business combinations and other strategic opportunities available
to Martin Marietta that would increase the probability that Martin Marietta
would retain the ability to efficiently produce advanced technology products and
services in view of the continuing decline of the Federal defense budget for
research, development, test and evaluation, and procurement; the anticipated
continuation of decreases in military spending; and the accelerating
consolidation in the defense and aerospace industries. Thereafter, Mr. Bennett,
Martin Marietta's Chief Financial Officer, made a presentation to the Martin
Marietta Board in which he discussed, among other things, the financial risks
and rewards associated with the various strategic possibilities described by Mr.
Augustine. Additionally, Martin Marietta's General Counsel, Mr. Menaker,
reviewed the legal parameters associated with the presentations by Messrs.
Augustine and Bennett. Thereafter, management generally reminded the Martin
Marietta Board of Martin Marietta's strategic direction, presented management's
views as to the likelihood of continued industry consolidations, and discussed
the strategic benefits and disadvantages of a possible "merger of equals" with
Lockheed. A variety of pro forma financial analyses were shared with the Martin
Marietta Board, including a discussion of exchange ratios and dividend policies
and their effects on stockholder value. The Martin Marietta Board concluded that
management should proceed with due diligence and negotiation of the terms of a
possible transaction.
At a regularly scheduled meeting of the Lockheed Board on August 1, 1994,
Mr. Tellep gave a presentation on the strategic options available to Lockheed.
Mr. Tellep reminded the Lockheed Board of the continuing decline in the U.S.
defense budget, accelerating defense and aerospace industry consolidation, as
well as the potential growth for non-defense businesses. He summarized the
financial forecast for Lockheed and each of its divisions. Mr. Tellep discussed
with the Lockheed Board various strategic alternatives, including but not
limited to making no strategic moves but focusing on internal investment and
actions to improve competitiveness, acquiring another company in a similar or
related business, entering into a joint venture with respect to part of its
business or merging with another company to strengthen Lockheed's lines of
business and add new markets and opportunities. Mr. Tellep summarized for the
Lockheed Board management's evaluation of each of these alternatives. The
Lockheed Board, after discussion of these various alternatives, preliminarily
concluded that (i) focusing on internal investment, although possibly a viable
alternative, involved significant risks and limited opportunities, (ii)
potential acquisitions were either too expensive or not otherwise appropriate,
(iii) potential joint ventures considered were not viable or appropriate for
various reasons, and (iv) a "merger of equals" offered the best possibility to
benefit Lockheed and its stockholders. Senior management of Lockheed and outside
legal counsel then gave a presentation to the Lockheed Board regarding a
possible business combination with Martin Marietta, including a summary of the
major programs and products of Martin Marietta, potential synergies between the
two companies, consolidation opportunities, the financial situation and
management of Martin Marietta, the status of the discussions with Martin
Marietta, the countervailing considerations associated with a business
combination with Martin Marietta and the duties of the directors in considering
a business combination. It was noted that a business combination with Martin
Marietta would result in a leading aerospace company providing critical mass and
economies of scale. The business combination would enhance the combined
company's position in commercial markets, provide potential for consolidation
savings and create a broader platform upon which to grow the combined business,
thus reducing dependence on any single program and the associated risks of
program cancellation. A business combination of equals with Martin Marietta
would also result in a capital structure with essentially no additional leverage
(as compared to a cash acquisition which could require significant additional
leverage) and increased cash flow potential which in turn would offer the
combined business the flexibility to pursue future opportunities. After
discussion, the Lockheed Board authorized management to proceed with due
diligence of Martin Marietta and to continue discussions regarding a possible
business combination.
During August 1994, representatives of Lockheed and Martin Marietta
continued to conduct business, financial, accounting and legal due diligence, to
discuss legal issues and to negotiate the terms of the Reorganization Agreement.
The discussions included the possible ramifications of the June 1994 indictment
of Lockheed by a federal grand jury sitting in Atlanta, Georgia and the
possibility of suspension or debarment
22
33
of Lockheed from future government contracting. The indictment alleged
violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other criminal statutes by
Lockheed and two of its employees. Also discussed was the notice received by
Lockheed from the U.S. Department of State which provides that, as a result of
the indictment, it will be the Department's policy prospectively to deny
defense-related export privileges to an unincorporated division of Lockheed,
primarily engaged in the manufacture of military aircraft for sale to the United
States Department of Defense and to foreign governments, subject to the grant on
a case-by-case basis of transaction related exceptions.
In addition, during August 1994, Mr. Tellep and/or Mr. Augustine met with
various representatives of the Department of Defense and other major
governmental customers to advise them of the possibility of a business
combination between Lockheed and Martin Marietta.
At a special meeting of the Lockheed Board on August 20, 1994, Mr. Tellep
reviewed with the Lockheed Board the events since the August 1, 1994 Lockheed
Board meeting. He described for the Lockheed Board the elements of a business
combination that had been preliminarily agreed to and the remaining open issues.
Members of senior management then gave an extensive presentation concerning
financial projections for the combined business, the proposed exchange ratios of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta stock for stock of the combined business and the
results of the business, financial, accounting and legal due diligence of Martin
Marietta. Representatives of Morgan Stanley then gave a presentation concerning,
among other things, Lockheed's strategic alternatives, the benefits of a "merger
of equals," the benefits of a business combination with Martin Marietta, certain
financial information regarding Lockheed, Martin Marietta and the combined
business, market information regarding both companies, the proposed range of
exchange ratios and the impact on Lockheed's stockholders. Outside legal counsel
also discussed with the Lockheed Board certain legal issues relating to a
possible business combination with Martin Marietta. At the conclusion of that
meeting, the Lockheed Board authorized management to continue to conduct due
diligence and negotiate with Martin Marietta.
At a special meeting of the Martin Marietta Board on August 27, 1994, Mr.
Augustine reviewed for the Martin Marietta directors the background of the
proposed transaction, including the chronology of events and developments since
March when he and Mr. Tellep had the initial discussions referred to above. Mr.
Augustine reviewed the deliberations with respect to this matter at the
intervening meetings of the Martin Marietta Board. Mr. Augustine also provided
his overview of industry conditions (including the contraction of the defense
budget) and the outlook for the industry generally and for Martin Marietta in
particular. Martin Marietta's "Peace Dividend Strategy" was also discussed as
were the perceived benefits of a "merger of equals" with Lockheed in light of
that strategy. (See "-- Recommendation of Martin Marietta Board; Martin
Marietta's Reasons for the Combination.") Mr. Augustine reviewed the need for
regulatory and stockholder approvals and discussed various other aspects of the
proposed transaction. Senior management reported on the results of Martin
Marietta's "due diligence" review of Lockheed's business, financial condition
and other matters. Senior management also described the pooling of interests
method of accounting expected to be used in connection with the Combination, as
well as the expected tax treatment of the Combination. Senior management also
reviewed the negotiations and analysis leading to the proposed exchange ratio
and the proposed dividend of $1.40 per share (which would be an increase over
the current annualized dividend to holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock).
Representatives of Bear Stearns reviewed various aspects of the proposed
transaction with the Martin Marietta directors, analyzing factors such as stock
market trends, historical price to earnings ratios and relative contributions,
certain financial information regarding Martin Marietta and the proposed
combined entity and the impact of the transaction on Martin Marietta
stockholders. Bear Stearns delivered to the Martin Marietta Board its written
opinion to the effect that the Combination was fair, from a financial point of
view, to the stockholders of Martin Marietta. Outside legal counsel reviewed
various legal aspects of the proposed Combination, including the duties of the
directors with respect thereto. Mr. Menaker, Martin Marietta's General Counsel,
reviewed in detail with the Martin Marietta Board the various legal
considerations concerning the advisability of adopting a stockholders rights
plan. Thereafter, the Martin Marietta Board reviewed the terms of, and then
approved, a stockholder rights plan. At the conclusion of the meeting the Martin
Marietta Board unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby.
23
34
At a special meeting of the Lockheed Board on August 29, 1994, Mr. Tellep
and other senior management reviewed with the Lockheed Board the strategic
option reviews which had occurred since 1993, the chronology of the discussions
with Martin Marietta and the reasons for and benefits of a business combination
with Martin Marietta. An update on the due diligence efforts was given to the
Lockheed Board including, but not limited to, a review of the adequacy of
reserves taken for Martin Marietta fixed priced contracts at the time of Martin
Marietta's transaction with GE (see "THE STANDSTILL AGREEMENT"), factors
regarding the marketing, pricing, and risks associated with commercial launch
vehicles, risks associated with a thrust reverser contract and certain
commercial contracts, and the growing uncertainty in the defense electronics
business. Senior management also reviewed with the Lockheed Board certain issues
relating to Lockheed, which were discussed with Martin Marietta, including but
not limited to the uncertainties relating to production of the C-130, F-22,
Trident and MILSTAR, the growing likelihood of declining facility utilization,
the financial outlook for certain subsidiaries and divisions and the status of
environmental and discontinued operations costs relating to Lockheed's Burbank
facility. Outside legal counsel reviewed with the Lockheed Board the status of
the negotiations with Martin Marietta and the provisions of the proposed
Reorganization Agreement, including but not limited to the negotiations with
respect to the termination provisions provided in the proposed Reorganization
Agreement. Morgan Stanley reviewed the financial analysis and valuation it
conducted with respect to the proposed business combination. On the basis of
these and other analyses, Morgan Stanley delivered their oral opinion, confirmed
later by a written opinion, that as of August 29, 1994, the exchange ratio of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock for Lockheed Common Stock as set forth in the
Reorganization Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders
of Lockheed Common Stock. See "-- Fairness Opinions." After extended discussion,
the Lockheed Board unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby. The Lockheed Board also amended the Lockheed
Rights Agreement, dated December 8, 1986, between Lockheed and First Interstate
Bank, Ltd., as rights agent, as amended to date (the "Lockheed Rights
Agreement"), to provide that the Combination will not be an event that triggers
the exercisability of rights under the Lockheed Rights Agreement.
At the conclusion of the Lockheed Board meeting, representatives of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta met to finalize and execute the Reorganization
Agreement.
On February 7, 1995, Lockheed, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin amended
the Reorganization Agreement to (i) extend from February 15 to March 31, 1995,
the date after which either Lockheed or Martin Marietta may terminate the
Reorganization Agreement if the Combination has not yet been consummated and
(ii) make the changes described below under the heading "-- Certain Litigation".
RECOMMENDATION OF LOCKHEED BOARD; LOCKHEED'S REASONS FOR THE COMBINATION
THE LOCKHEED BOARD, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, HAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMBINATION
IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE HOLDERS OF LOCKHEED COMMON STOCK AND RECOMMENDS
THAT HOLDERS OF LOCKHEED COMMON STOCK VOTE FOR THE COMBINATION PROPOSAL.
The Lockheed Board believes the Combination offers Lockheed and its
stockholders a unique opportunity to create a leading aerospace company which
can provide the critical mass and economies of scale necessary to compete
effectively in the current global business environment. The Lockheed Board
believes that the Combination offers, among other things, opportunities for
improved efficiencies, to preserve critical elements of the national defense
industrial base of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, to expand access to commercial,
civil and international markets for the combined business and to broaden the
platform on which to grow. The combined business will have a capital structure
with limited leverage and increased cash flow potential which should offer the
combined business the flexibility to pursue future opportunities.
24
35
The decision of the Lockheed Board to approve the Reorganization Agreement
and to recommend approval of the Combination by the holders of Lockheed Common
Stock was based upon a number of factors, including without limitation, the
following:
(i) the Lockheed Board's understanding of the present and anticipated
environment in the aerospace/defense industry, the strategic options
available to Lockheed and the potential for further consolidation within
the industry which could adversely affect Lockheed's competitive position;
(ii) the Lockheed Board's consideration of, among other things,
information concerning the financial condition, results of operations,
prospects and businesses of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, including
internal financial forecasts of future operating results including
anticipated revenues and net income for Lockheed through 1998 prepared by
the management of Lockheed which showed some substantial increases during
certain years over that time period (however keeping in mind the inherent
uncertainties of such forecasts, especially in the later years);
(iii) the Lockheed Board's consideration of, among other things,
current industry, economic and market conditions;
(iv) the Lockheed Board's consideration of, among other things,
information concerning financial and business prospects for the combined
business, including possible synergies and consolidations;
(v) the Lockheed Board's understanding that the Combination should
reduce dependence on any single program and the associated risks of program
cancellation;
(vi) the Lockheed Board's consideration of financial information
indicating that the proposed exchange ratio of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
for Lockheed Common Stock would not result in a near term dilution of
earnings per share (before any restructuring charges) on an equivalent
share basis to the stockholders of Lockheed and that the financial
projections for the combined business would appear to support a dividend
rate not less than the present equivalent dividend rate on Lockheed Common
Stock;
(vii) the Lockheed Board's understanding that the Combination could be
accomplished without additional leverage; its understanding, based upon the
opinion of its outside legal counsel, that the Combination is structured as
a "merger of equals" and could be accomplished on a tax-free basis; and its
understanding, after consultation with its outside auditors, that the
Combination would be accounted for as a pooling of interests transaction;
(viii) the Lockheed Board's review of presentations from, and
discussions with, senior executives of Lockheed, representatives of its
outside legal counsel and representatives of Morgan Stanley regarding the
business, financial, accounting and legal due diligence with respect to
Martin Marietta and the terms and conditions of the Reorganization
Agreement; and
(ix) the Lockheed Board's receipt of an opinion from Morgan Stanley
that the exchange ratio of Lockheed Martin Common Stock for Lockheed Common
Stock, as of August 29, 1994 and as of the date of this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, is fair from a financial point of view to the holders
of Lockheed Common Stock.
The Lockheed Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed
above.
RECOMMENDATION OF MARTIN MARIETTA BOARD; MARTIN MARIETTA'S REASONS FOR THE
COMBINATION
THE MARTIN MARIETTA BOARD, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, HAS DETERMINED THAT THE
COMBINATION IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS OF MARTIN MARIETTA AND
RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF MARTIN MARIETTA VOTE FOR THE COMBINATION
PROPOSAL.
The Martin Marietta Board believes that Lockheed Martin will be
strategically positioned in the aerospace industry, with competitive positions
across broad market segments. The Martin Marietta Board also believes that the
Combination will provide important economies of scale that will allow Lockheed
Martin to make its products and services more competitive across a wide range of
commercial, civil, defense and
25
36
international markets, which the Martin Marietta Board believes is particularly
important in a period of industry consolidation. The Martin Marietta Board also
believes that the combined entity will present enhanced opportunities to
continue to build stockholder value.
In reaching its determination to recommend approval of the Combination, the
Martin Marietta Board considered the factors set forth below:
(i) the continuing decline of the U.S. defense budget over the last
several years and the expectation of further, albeit more gradual,
declines;
(ii) the belief that shrinkage in the defense market necessitates a
consolidation of industry participants;
(iii) the belief that the Combination will allow Lockheed Martin to
improve operating efficiency, rationalize expenditures and reduce costs,
thus increasing competitiveness;
(iv) the fact that the Combination will result in Lockheed Martin
holding competitive positions in key segments of the aerospace industry and
will strengthen its prospects in commercial, civil, and international
markets;
(v) the belief that Lockheed Martin will have a more balanced risk
profile, financially and competitively, than either Lockheed or Martin
Marietta separately;
(vi) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement,
including the exchange ratios of Lockheed Martin Common Stock for Lockheed
Common Stock and Martin Marietta Common Stock, and the exchange ratio of
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock for Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock, which were considered to be fair in light of the financial
conditions, businesses, prospects and stock trading histories of Lockheed
and Martin Marietta;
(vii) the structure of the Combination as a "merger of equals";
(viii) the fact that the Combination will be accomplished without
additional borrowings;
(ix) the fact that the Combination is expected to be accomplished on a
tax-free basis and to be accounted for as a pooling of interests
transaction;
(x) the perception that the management teams would complement each
other and work well together; and
(xi) the opinion of Bear Stearns that the terms of the Combination are
fair from a financial point of view to the stockholders of Martin Marietta.
In reaching its conclusion the Martin Marietta Board considered these
factors as a whole and did not attempt to assign relative weights to specific
factors. In addition, the Martin Marietta Board concluded that the U.S.
Department of State's policy to deny defense-related export privileges to the
Lockheed division referred to above would not be likely to materially limit
Lockheed Martin's potential ability to compete in international markets. See
"RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- Lockheed Plea Agreement."
FAIRNESS OPINIONS
Opinion of Lockheed's Financial Advisor
Lockheed retained Morgan Stanley to act as financial advisor in connection
with the Combination. Morgan Stanley was selected by the Lockheed Board to act
as Lockheed's financial advisor based on Morgan Stanley's qualifications,
expertise and reputation, as well as Morgan Stanley's investment banking
relationship and familiarity with Lockheed. No limitations were imposed by the
Lockheed Board upon Morgan Stanley with respect to the investigations made
(except with respect to government classified programs) or the procedures
followed by it in rendering its fairness opinion. Morgan Stanley was not
requested to solicit, and did not solicit, indications of interest from any
party with respect to a business combination with Lockheed.
26
37
Morgan Stanley has rendered to the Lockheed Board its written opinion dated
August 29, 1994 (the "Morgan Stanley August Opinion") that, based upon and
subject to the various considerations set forth in the opinion, on August 29,
1994, the exchange ratio of Lockheed Martin Common Stock for Lockheed Common
Stock reflected in the Reorganization Agreement (the "Lockheed Exchange Ratio")
was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Lockheed
Common Stock. Morgan Stanley has updated its written opinion as of the date of
this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (the "Morgan Stanley Update Opinion"). The
Lockheed Exchange Ratio was determined by negotiation between Lockheed and
Martin Marietta with advice from Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns, respectively.
The full text of the Morgan Stanley Update Opinion, which sets forth
assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken,
is attached as Appendix II to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Lockheed
stockholders are urged to read the opinion carefully and in its entirety in
conjunction with this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Morgan Stanley's opinion
addresses only the fairness of the Lockheed Exchange Ratio from a financial
point of view and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of
Lockheed as to how such stockholder should vote on the Combination Proposal. The
summary of the opinion of Morgan Stanley set forth in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of such opinion.
In rendering both the Morgan Stanley August Opinion and the Morgan Stanley
Update Opinion, Morgan Stanley, among other things: (i) analyzed certain
publicly available financial statements and other information of Lockheed and
Martin Marietta; (ii) analyzed certain internal financial statements and other
financial and operating data concerning Martin Marietta prepared by the
management of Martin Marietta; (iii) analyzed certain financial projections
prepared by the management of Martin Marietta; (iv) discussed the past and
current operations and financial condition and the prospects of Martin Marietta
with senior executives of Martin Marietta; (v) analyzed certain internal
financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning Lockheed
prepared by the management of Lockheed (including interim financial statements
on a company-wide and a divisional basis); (vi) analyzed certain financial
projections (including the budgets for Lockheed and its divisions for 1994 and
1995) prepared by the management of Lockheed; (vii) discussed the past and
current operations and financial condition and the prospects of Lockheed with
senior executives of Lockheed, and analyzed the pro forma impact of the
Combination on Lockheed's earnings per share and consolidated capitalization;
(viii) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Lockheed Common
Stock and the Martin Marietta Common Stock, respectively; (ix) discussed with
the senior management of Lockheed their view of the strategic rationale for the
Combination and the benefits of the Combination to Lockheed and to the holders
of shares of Lockheed Common Stock; (x) compared the financial performance of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta and the prices and trading activity of the Lockheed
Common Stock and the Martin Marietta Common Stock with that of certain other
comparable publicly traded companies and their securities; (xi) reviewed the
financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain comparable merger
transactions; (xii) participated in discussions and negotiations among
representatives of Lockheed and Martin Marietta and their respective financial
and legal advisors; (xiii) reviewed the Reorganization Agreement; (xiv) reviewed
the agreements described below (under "OWNERSHIP OF LOCKHEED, MARTIN MARIETTA
AND LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Martin Marietta") between Martin Marietta and GE; (xv) in
the case of the Morgan Stanley Update Opinion, reviewed the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus in substantially the final form to be sent to the
stockholders of Lockheed; and (xvi) performed such other analyses as Morgan
Stanley deemed appropriate, including analyzing quantitative and qualitative
business information supplied to it by the management of Lockheed concerning
strategic benefits of the Combination (which benefits are discussed above under
"-- Recommendation of Lockheed Board; Lockheed's Reasons for the Combination").
Morgan Stanley assumed and relied upon without independent verification the
accuracy and completeness of the information reviewed by it for purposes of
rendering its opinion. With regard to the financial projections referred to in
clauses (iii) and (vi) of the preceding paragraph, Morgan Stanley assumed that
they were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available
estimates of the future financial performance of Lockheed and Martin Marietta.
Morgan Stanley did not make any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets
or liabilities of Lockheed or Martin Marietta, nor was it furnished with any
such appraisals. Morgan Stanley assumed that the Combination would be accounted
for as a pooling of interests
27
38
business combination under the requirements of APB No. 16 and would be
consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Reorganization
Agreement. Each of Morgan Stanley's opinions states that it is necessarily based
on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information
made available to Morgan Stanley as of, the date of such opinion.
The following is a brief summary of Morgan Stanley's presentation to the
Lockheed Board on August 20, 1994.
Comparative Stock Price Performance. As part of its analysis, Morgan
Stanley reviewed the recent stock market performance of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta and compared such performance to that of a group of other companies in
the defense industry which was comprised of Northrop Corporation (now Northrop
Grumman Corporation), McDonnell Douglas Corporation, Loral Corporation, Raytheon
Company, E-Systems, Inc., TRW Inc., Rockwell International Corporation and The
Boeing Company. Morgan Stanley also reviewed the ratios of Lockheed's to Martin
Marietta's stock prices over various periods ending August 18, 1994, and
computed the premium or discount of the Lockheed Exchange Ratio in relation to
the aforementioned ratios. The ratios of closing stock prices of Lockheed to
Martin Marietta for the various periods ending August 18, 1994, were as follows:
1.609 for the previous five years; 1.597 for the previous three years; 1.567 for
the previous two years; 1.484 for the previous twelve months; 1.438 for the
previous six months; 1.444 for the previous three months; 1.380 for the previous
thirty days; 1.309 for August 18, 1994; and with respect to the low and high
ratios for the previous year, 1.309 and 1.726, respectively.
Morgan Stanley observed that the Lockheed Exchange Ratio represented a
premium of approximately 1.3%, 2.1%, 4.0%, 9.8%, 13.4%, 12.9%, 18.1%, 24.5% and
24.5% and a discount of 5.6%, respectively, over the aforementioned ratios of
Lockheed to Martin Marietta stock prices.
Contribution Analysis. Morgan Stanley analyzed the pro forma equity
contribution of each of Lockheed and Martin Marietta to the combined company if
the Combination was to be consummated. Such analysis was based on Morgan
Stanley's research analysts' estimates of 1994 and 1995 earnings before interest
and taxes ("EBIT"), net income before preferred stock dividends and free cash
flow (defined as net income before preferred stock dividends plus depreciation
and amortization minus capital expenditures) for Lockheed and Martin Marietta,
respectively. The estimates of Morgan Stanley's research analysts were generated
independently of, but were substantially consistent with, management's financial
projections referred to above. Such analysis showed that, for fiscal 1994,
Lockheed's contribution to the combined company's EBIT, net income before
preferred stock dividends and free cash flow, would result in an implied
ownership for Lockheed stockholders of approximately 43.9%, 45.3% and 46.4%,
respectively. For fiscal year 1995, such equity ownership would be approximately
equal to 42.4%, 44.7% and 45.8%, respectively. These contribution percentages
were computed before taking into account any synergies or cost savings that may
be realized if the Combination were to be consummated. These figures compared to
Lockheed stockholders' pro forma ownership in the combined company, pursuant to
the Combination, of 45.1% on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion of
the Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock), using the treasury stock method.
Morgan Stanley observed that the contribution analysis did not take into account
the different valuation multiples, such as the price-earnings multiples, that
the market ascribed to Lockheed and Martin Marietta. Morgan Stanley also
observed that Martin Marietta's 1994 and 1995 price-earnings multiples, based on
research analysts' estimates, were currently higher than Lockheed's
corresponding price-earnings multiples.
Pro Forma Analysis of the Combination. Morgan Stanley analyzed certain pro
forma effects of the Combination on the earnings and capitalization of the
combined company, as well as Lockheed's earnings per share, after taking into
account the Lockheed Exchange Ratio. These analyses were based on Morgan
Stanley's research analysts' estimates of 1994 and 1995 net income for Lockheed
and Martin Marietta, respectively. Based on such analysis, Morgan Stanley
observed that the Combination would result in a slight decrease in Lockheed's
earnings per share in 1994 and a slight increase in Lockheed's earnings per
share in 1995. Morgan Stanley did not attempt to identify or quantify synergies
(through, for example, cost reductions and rationalizations, as described below)
which might be achieved in connection with the Combination. However, for
illustrative purposes, and as a hypothetical example, Morgan Stanley also
analyzed certain pro forma effects of the Combination on the earnings of the
combined company, as well as Lockheed's earnings
28
39
per share, assuming that $200 million in pre-tax synergies would be realized in
each of 1994 and 1995 in connection with the Combination. While a level of
synergy can be expected to be achieved in a strategic business combination such
as the Combination as a result of rationalization (through elimination of
duplicate facilities and more efficient utilization of capacity, including
research and development expenditures, manufacturing, sales and distribution
capacity) and cost reductions (including savings realized through economies of
scale), the $200 million pretax amount was arbitrarily selected by Morgan
Stanley without any investigation or as a result of any analysis, in order to
ascertain the arithmetic sensitivity of post-Combination earnings to the
achievement of synergies, and Morgan Stanley expressed no view as to whether
these synergies would be obtained, or the amount or timing of such synergies. No
assurances can be given that the hypothetical amount of these synergies bears
any relation to the synergies, if any, which might be realized as a result of
the Combination. Based on such illustrative analysis, Morgan Stanley observed
that, after taking into account such hypothetical synergies, the Combination
would result in an increase in Lockheed's earnings per share in fiscal 1994 and
1995 of 12.2% and 12.8%, respectively.
Pro Forma Share Price Analysis. Morgan Stanley performed an analysis of
Lockheed's potential share price assuming the Combination were to be
consummated. Based on hypothetical multiples of 1995 net income for the combined
company, ranging from Lockheed's current multiple of estimated 1995 earnings to
Martin Marietta's current multiple of estimated 1995 earnings, and based on
Morgan Stanley's research analysts' estimates of 1995 net income for Lockheed
and Martin Marietta, respectively, and after giving effect to the Lockheed
Exchange Ratio of 1.63, Morgan Stanley calculated pro forma market values per
share of Lockheed Common Stock ranging from approximately $65 to $79. These
prices compared to Lockheed's market price of $64 per share on August 18, 1994.
For illustrative purposes, Morgan Stanley performed a similar analysis assuming
that $200 million in hypothetical pre-tax synergies would be realized in
connection with the Combination. Morgan Stanley expressed no view as to whether
these synergies would be obtained or the amount or timing of such synergies.
Such analysis resulted in pro forma market values ranging from approximately $72
to $89 per share of Lockheed Common Stock.
The above summary of the presentations by Morgan Stanley to the Lockheed
Board does not purport to be a complete description of such presentations or of
all the advice rendered by Morgan Stanley, including advice with respect to the
structuring of and issues relating to consummation of the Combination. Morgan
Stanley believes that its analyses and the summary set forth above must be
considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without
considering all analyses, or of the above summary, without considering all
factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying
the analyses set forth in Morgan Stanley's presentation to the Lockheed Board
and its opinion. In performing its analyses, Morgan Stanley made numerous
assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic
conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Lockheed
or Martin Marietta. The analyses performed by Morgan Stanley are not necessarily
indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly
more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses
relating to value of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect
the prices at which businesses actually may be valued in the market place.
Lockheed retained Morgan Stanley based upon its experience and expertise.
Morgan Stanley is an internationally recognized investment banking and advisory
firm. Morgan Stanley, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly
engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings,
secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements
and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Morgan Stanley makes a market
in Lockheed Common Stock and Martin Marietta Common Stock and may continue to
provide investment banking services to the combined entity in the future. In the
course of its market-making and other trading activities, Morgan Stanley may,
from time to time, have a long or short position in, and buy and sell securities
of, Lockheed and Martin Marietta. Morgan Stanley and its affiliates have, in the
past, provided financial advisory and financing services to Lockheed, including
services rendered in connection with Lockheed's purchase of the Tactical
Military Aircraft business of the General Dynamics Corporation in 1993, and has
received customary fees for the rendering of such services. Morgan Stanley and
its affiliates have also provided financial advisory and financing services to
Martin Marietta, including services rendered in
29
40
connection with the initial public offering of a portion of the stock of Martin
Marietta Materials, Inc. in 1994, and has received customary fees for the
rendering of such services.
Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated August 9, 1994, between Lockheed and
Morgan Stanley, Lockheed paid Morgan Stanley a fee of $3.5 million upon
announcement of the proposed Combination and will pay an additional fee of $13.5
million only upon the successful consummation of the Combination. Lockheed has
also agreed to reimburse Morgan Stanley for its out-of-pocket expenses (of which
$171,000 has been billed and paid to date). In addition, Lockheed has agreed to
indemnify Morgan Stanley and its affiliates, their respective directors,
officers, agents and employees and each person, if any, controlling Morgan
Stanley or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under federal securities laws, and expenses, related to Morgan
Stanley's engagement.
Opinion of Martin Marietta's Financial Advisor
The Martin Marietta Board selected Bear Stearns as its financial advisor in
connection with the Combination. The Martin Marietta Board selected Bear Stearns
to act as its financial advisor and to render its opinion in connection with the
Combination based on Bear Stearns' qualifications, expertise, and reputation in
providing advice to companies in the aerospace and defense electronics
industries as well as its prior investment banking relationship and familiarity
with Martin Marietta.
Bear Stearns delivered its written opinion to the Martin Marietta Board to
the effect that, as of August 27, 1994 (the "Bear Stearns August Opinion"), the
Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of
Martin Marietta. Bear Stearns has updated its written opinion to the Martin
Marietta Board as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (the
"Bear Stearns Update Opinion").
The full text of the Bear Stearns Update Opinion is attached as Appendix
III to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Martin Marietta stockholders are
urged to, and should, read this opinion carefully in its entirety in conjunction
with this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for assumptions made, matters
considered and limits of the review by Bear Stearns. No limitations were imposed
by the Martin Marietta Board upon Bear Stearns with respect to the
investigations made or procedures followed by Bear Stearns in rendering its
opinion, except that Bear Stearns was not provided with information regarding
government classified programs of Martin Marietta or Lockheed. Bear Stearns was
not requested to solicit and did not solicit indications of interest from third
parties with respect to a business combination with Martin Marietta. Bear
Stearns' opinion addresses only the fairness of the Combination from a financial
point of view and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of
Martin Marietta as to how such stockholder should vote on the Combination
Proposal. The summary of the opinion of Bear Stearns set forth in this Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of such opinion.
In rendering the Bear Stearns Update Opinion, Bear Stearns, among other
things: (i) reviewed the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in substantially the
final form to be sent to the stockholders of Martin Marietta, (ii) reviewed
Martin Marietta's and Lockheed's Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual
Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 1990 through 1993, and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal periods ended March, June and
September 1994, (iii) reviewed certain operating and financial information,
including projections, provided by Martin Marietta's and Lockheed's managements
relating to Martin Marietta's and Lockheed's business prospects, including a
business plan prepared by the management of Martin Marietta, which included
estimates regarding revenue, operating profits, and earnings, (iv) had
discussions with certain members of the senior management of Martin Marietta and
Lockheed concerning their respective companies' operations, historical financial
statements and future prospects, and their views of the business, operational
and strategic benefits, potential synergies, cost savings and other implications
of the Combination (including the anticipated reduction of duplicate facilities,
corporate overhead, and excess research and development and manufacturing
capacity and the enhanced ability to operate as a prime contractor with a more
complete product because of the companies' complementary expertise), (v)
reviewed the pro forma financial impact of the Combination on Martin Marietta,
(vi) reviewed the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the Martin
Marietta Common Stock and the Lockheed Common Stock,
30
41
(vii) reviewed the publicly available financial information and stock market
performance of other publicly held companies in businesses similar to those of
Martin Marietta and Lockheed, (viii) considered the terms of selected
transactions deemed generally comparable to the Combination and (ix) considered
such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations which Bear Stearns
deemed relevant, including quantitative and qualitative business information
supplied to it by the management of Martin Marietta concerning the strategic
benefits of the Combination.
Bear Stearns relied upon and assumed without independent verification the
accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided
to it for purposes of its opinion. In addition, Bear Stearns did not make or
seek to obtain appraisals of Martin Marietta's or Lockheed's assets and
liabilities in rendering its opinion. Bear Stearns further relied upon the
assurances of the managements of Martin Marietta and Lockheed that the
managements were not aware of any facts that would make the information provided
to Bear Stearns incomplete or misleading. Bear Stearns' opinion is necessarily
based upon the economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the
information made available to it as of, the date of its opinion. Bear Stearns
further assumed that the Combination would be accounted for in accordance with
the pooling of interests method of accounting under the requirements of APB No.
16.
The following is a brief summary of certain of the financial analyses used
by Bear Stearns in connection with providing its opinions to the Martin Marietta
Board.
Contribution Analysis. Bear Stearns analyzed the pro forma contribution of
each of Martin Marietta and Lockheed to the combined entity, if the Combination
were to be consummated, and reviewed certain historical and estimated future
operating and financial information including, among other things, the revenue,
operating cash flow, operating income and net income of Martin Marietta and
Lockheed, and the pro forma revenue, operating cash flow, operating income and
net income of the combined entity resulting from the Combination based on
internal financial analyses and forecasts for Martin Marietta and Lockheed
prepared by their respective managements. Such analysis did not take into
account any potential synergies or cost savings that might be realized after the
Combination. Such analysis indicated that, based on management forecasts, for
1994 Martin Marietta would contribute to pro forma (i) sales, (ii) operating
cash flow, (iii) operating income and (iv) net income of the combined entity
resulting from the Combination the respective amounts of (i) 42.5%, (ii) 53.8%,
(iii) 57.5% and (iv) 56.2%, with similar estimated respective amounts for 1995
being (i) 43.0%, (ii) 51.3%, (iii) 55.0% and (iv) 52.3%. Bear Stearns observed
that such amounts compared favorably with the approximately 54.8% of the pro
forma fully diluted number of shares for the combined entity to be owned by
former Martin Marietta common and preferred stockholders after the Combination.
Bear Stearns noted that the contribution analysis did not consider the different
valuation multiples, such as the price-earnings multiples, that the market
ascribed to Martin Marietta and Lockheed both on a current basis and on a
historical basis.
Historical Stock Trading Analysis. Bear Stearns reviewed the historical
public trading prices of Martin Marietta Common Stock and of Lockheed Common
Stock for the five years ended August 26, 1994. Bear Stearns also reviewed both
the historical ratio of the public trading price per share of Martin Marietta
Common Stock to the public trading price per share of Lockheed Common Stock on a
quarterly basis from January 6, 1989 through and including August 26, 1994 as
well as the average public trading prices of Lockheed Common Stock and Martin
Marietta Common Stock over periods ranging from the 5 to the 180 days
immediately preceding August 26, 1994. Such analysis indicated that the ratio of
the average public trading price per share of Lockheed Common Stock to the
average public trading price per share of Martin Marietta Common Stock ranged
from 1.45 for the 180 days preceding August 26, 1994 to 1.32 for the 5 days
preceding August 26, 1994. From the week ended June 17, 1994 to the week ended
August 26, 1994, the ratio of the closing price of Lockheed Common Stock at the
end of each week to the closing price of Martin Marietta Common Stock at the end
of each week ranged from 1.52 to 1.35. Over the 12 month period ended August 26,
1994, the ratio of public trading prices of Lockheed Common Stock to Martin
Marietta Common Stock ranged from a high of 1.73 to a low of 1.31. Such amounts
were compared to the Lockheed Exchange Ratio of 1.63.
31
42
Pro Forma Combination Analysis. Bear Stearns analyzed earnings per share
estimates for 1995, 1996 and 1997 for both Martin Marietta and, on a pro forma
basis, for the combined entity after the Combination. These analyses were based
upon projections provided by the managements of Martin Marietta and Lockheed and
consensus research analysts' estimates. Such analysis did not take into account
any potential synergies or cost savings that might be realized after the
Combination. Based on managements' projections, such analysis showed accretion
(dilution) in the fully diluted earnings per share resulting from the
Combination of 0.0%, (3.9%) and 10.3% for the years 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.
Imputed Equity Valuation Analysis. Bear Stearns derived a range of values
(i.e., a "reference range") to compare the equity value per fully-diluted share
of Martin Marietta Common Stock to the equity value per fully-diluted share of
the combined entity after the Combination, in order to analyze the fairness of
the Combination to the stockholders of Martin Marietta from a financial point of
view. The reference range of values was based on (i) a discounted cash flow
analysis, (ii) an analysis of selected comparable companies in the aerospace and
defense electronics industries and (iii) an analysis of selected transactions.
Selected actual and estimated financial, operating and stock market information
was analyzed for: Martin Marietta and Lockheed; selected aerospace companies
(i.e., Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop/Grumman and Rockwell); and selected
defense electronics companies (i.e., E-Systems, General Motors Class H Stock --
GM Hughes Electronics Corporation, Litton Industries Inc., Loral and Raytheon).
Bear Stearns observed that no company used in the above analysis as a comparison
is identical to Martin Marietta, Lockheed or the combined entity. The reference
range of values was also based, among other factors, on certain other analyses
performed by Bear Stearns, including an analysis of selected transactions
involving acquisitions of companies in the aerospace and/or defense electronics
business (i.e., Northrop/Grumman, Loral/IBM Federal Systems, Lockheed/General
Dynamics-Ft. Worth and Martin Marietta/GE Aerospace). In reviewing these
transactions, Bear Stearns noted that such transactions differed from the
Combination in that they involved a change of control of a public company or the
purchase of the assets of a division; none of these transactions involved a
"merger of equals" of public companies.
Based upon a reference range of values for Martin Marietta of $7.5 billion
to $9.0 billion and after making certain adjustments related to, among other
things, the debt outstanding, Bear Stearns derived an imputed equity value per
share for Martin Marietta ranging from $47.04 to $58.69, based upon the fully
diluted number of shares. Based upon a reference range of values for the
combined entity after the Combination of $14.5 billion to $18.0 billion, and
after making certain adjustments described below, Bear Stearns derived an
imputed equity value per fully diluted share for the combined entity after the
Combination ranging from $50.81 to $65.65, which compares favorably to the
closing per share price of Martin Marietta Common Stock of $48.25 on August 26,
1994. These adjustments related to, among other things, the debt outstanding.
The adjustments also considered, for analytical purposes, the effect of (y) an
estimated $175.0 million per year in certain potential pre-tax cost savings and
other synergies which may arise from the Combination less (z) a one time $300.0
million estimated after-tax cash cost arising from the Combination inclusive of,
among other things, severance costs. These adjustments were based on amounts
estimated by the management of Martin Marietta and assumptions independently
made by Bear Stearns as to the amount and timing of cost savings and other
synergies that could be realized by the combined entity after the Combination
and the uncertainties associated with such estimates. Bear Stearns expressed no
view on when or whether the aforementioned cost savings or synergies could be
obtained. No assurances can be given that cost savings and synergies, if any, in
the amount estimated will be realized as a result of the Combination.
Other Analyses. Bear Stearns conducted such other analyses as it deemed
necessary including the review of selected investment research reports on, and
earnings estimates for, Martin Marietta and Lockheed and the analysis of
available information regarding the stock ownership of Martin Marietta and
Lockheed.
The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not
necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting
portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering
the analysis as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes
underlying Bear Stearns' opinion. In arriving at its opinion, Bear Stearns
considered the results of all such analyses. The analyses were prepared solely
for purposes of providing its opinion as to the fairness of the Combination to
Martin Marietta and do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the
prices at which businesses or securities actually
32
43
may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily
indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less
favorable than suggested by such analyses. As described above, Bear Stearns'
opinion and presentation to the Martin Marietta Board was one of many factors
taken into consideration by the Martin Marietta Board in making its
determination to approve the Reorganization Agreement. The foregoing summary
does not purport to be a complete description of the analysis performed by Bear
Stearns.
Bear Stearns is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and
is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions and other purposes. Bear Stearns
recently advised Martin Marietta in its offer to purchase the Grumman
Corporation.
In the ordinary course of its business, Bear Stearns may actively trade the
equity securities of Martin Marietta and Lockheed for its own account and for
the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may, at any time, hold a long or
short position in such securities.
Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated August 23, 1994, Martin Marietta has
paid Bear Stearns a fee of $3.5 million for rendering its opinion in conjunction
with the Combination and will pay an additional fee of $13.5 million only upon
completion of the Combination. Martin Marietta has also agreed to reimburse Bear
Stearns for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (which have not yet been
billed), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, and to
indemnify Bear Stearns and certain related persons against certain liabilities
in connection with the engagement of Bear Stearns, including certain liabilities
under the federal securities laws. Bear Stearns, from time to time, has also
rendered investment banking and other financial advisory services to Martin
Marietta, for which it received customary fees in conjunction with these
services. Bear Stearns has also provided advice to Martin Marietta with regard
to the stockholder rights plan adopted at the time of the announcement of the
proposed Combination, for which no additional fee will be paid.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE COMBINATION
Lockheed
Termination Benefits Agreements. In 1991, Lockheed entered into revised
severance agreements (the "Termination Benefits Agreements") with 23 of the
current Board-elected executive officers, including members of senior
management. From January 1992 through March 1994, Lockheed entered into 14
additional Termination Benefit Agreements with certain executive officers when
they were elected by the Lockheed Board. The Termination Benefits Agreements
provide for the payment of certain benefits described below if, within three
years after the occurrence of certain events with respect to Lockheed (which are
defined in the Termination Benefits Agreements and would include the Pacific Sub
Merger), the covered executive officer either (a) is terminated by Lockheed
(other than on account of death, disability or retirement of the officer or for
"cause," defined in the Termination Benefits Agreements to include, among other
things, willful and continued failure to substantially perform his or her
duties, or willful misfeasance or gross negligence related to his or her
employment) or (b) terminates his or her employment with Lockheed for "good
reason" (as defined in the Termination Benefits Agreements to include, among
other things, a reduction in base salary, bonus or certain other benefits,
certain changes in status, duties or position with Lockheed or geographic
relocation).
Lockheed's Termination Benefits Agreements generally provide for a lump sum
cash payment (the "Lump Sum Payment") equal to the sum of the following amounts:
two times the officer's base annual salary at the time of the triggering event
or termination, two times an amount determined by multiplying the officer's base
salary by the average percentage of awards under the Lockheed Management
Incentive Compensation Plan to base salary paid during the last two years, and
the cash value of the officer's contingent award established under the Lockheed
Long Term Performance Plan for each incomplete performance cycle as of the date
of termination, calculated on the basis that all performance goals were fully
attained and such performance cycles were completed in their entirety. The
Termination Benefits Agreements also provide for a payment equal to the value of
certain health and dental insurance plans and other fringe benefits as in effect
prior to the change in control for a two-year period following termination.
Additional benefits provided by the Termination Benefits Agreements include the
vesting of all retirement benefits and the addition of two years of
33
44
credited service under Lockheed's salaried retirement plans and the entitlement
to two additional years of matching contributions under Lockheed's savings
plans. If the officer attains age 65 within two years of termination of
employment, certain benefits under the Termination Benefits Agreement will be
pro-rated accordingly. If the officer obtains other employment, the Lump Sum
Payment received on termination may be reduced if compensation received from the
new employer exceeds fifty percent of the annualized salary and bonus included
in the Lump Sum Payment, provided that in no event will the Lump Sum Payment be
reduced to an amount less than one year's annual compensation. Benefits under
the Termination Benefits Agreements may be subject to an excise tax payable by
the officer, and may not be deductible by Lockheed, to the extent they exceed
certain statutory limitations.
Each of the Termination Benefits Agreements continues in effect through the
end of the calendar year and is automatically extended on each January 1
thereafter for an additional year unless Lockheed gives the officer advance
notice to the contrary. Stockholder approval of the Combination will trigger an
automatic extension of the Termination Benefits Agreements to a date 36 months
after such approval.
The severance policy of Lockheed with respect to executive officers as
reflected in the Termination Benefit Agreements was approved by an advisory vote
of the stockholders of Lockheed in April 1991.
Employee Stock Option Programs. Under the Reorganization Agreement, stock
options outstanding under the stock option plans maintained by Lockheed will be
converted to options to acquire Lockheed Martin Common Stock as described in
greater detail below under "THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Certain Benefits
Matters." Under the terms of the option agreements executed pursuant to
Lockheed's 1992 Employee Stock Option Program (the "Program"), upon consummation
of the Combination, options granted under the Program and held by persons then
employed by Lockheed or any subsidiary will become exercisable to the full
extent theretofore not exercisable. Based upon options outstanding at December
31, 1994, the exercisability of options to purchase an aggregate of 307,775
shares of Lockheed Common Stock valued at $2.2 million would be accelerated if
the Combination occurs. However, options with respect to 307,025 of these shares
would otherwise vest by the end of February 1996 even if the Combination is not
consummated. Of the options outstanding at December 31, 1994 subject to
acceleration, options to purchase an aggregate of 170,575 shares of Lockheed
Common Stock valued at $1.2 million are held by executive officers of Lockheed,
including options with respect to 7,500 (valued at $52,988); 7,500 (valued at
$52,988); 15,000 (valued at $105,975); 7,000 (valued at $49,455); and 30,000
(valued at $211,950) shares held by Messrs. Cannestra, Coffman, Marafino, Peline
and Tellep, respectively. See "OWNERSHIP OF LOCKHEED, MARTIN MARIETTA AND
LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Lockheed." Messrs. Marafino and Tellep have informed the
Lockheed Board in writing that they intend to voluntarily refrain from
exercising any options that become exercisable upon consummation of the
Combination prior to the date the options would have been exercisable had the
Combination not been consummated. The values set forth above are based on the
difference between the per share exercise price and the closing price of $71 7/8
per share for Lockheed Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Tape on February 1,
1995. See "COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION."
Long Term Performance Plan. Awards under Lockheed's Long Term Performance
Plan are based on the corporation's financial performance over 3-year
performance cycles, beginning in successive years. Performance measurements for
the 1993 cycle and the 1994 cycle are based on Lockheed's absolute percentage
gain in total stockholder value as compared to an absolute target and Lockheed's
investment value relative to a peer group investment value. Lockheed has taken
action to terminate the Long Term Performance Plan effective upon the
consummation of the Combination. Under the terms of the plan, the participants
are entitled to prorated awards for compensation earned up to the Merger Date
for each performance cycle terminated prior to the end of the three year period,
with the awards calculated as if the pre-established targets had been attained.
Lockheed estimates the total prorated payments for the 1993 and 1994 performance
cycles for all participants, assuming consummation of the Combination on March
15, 1995, to be approximately $3.7 million, including payments to Messrs.
Cannestra, Coffman, Marafino, Peline and Tellep of approximately $193,154;
$222,154; $437,077; $169,138 and $555,770, respectively.

Directors Deferred Compensation. Under a deferred compensation plan of
Lockheed, all or a portion of the cash annual fee and meeting fees payable by
Lockheed to its non-employee directors may be deferred to periods following the
time a participant ceases to be a member of the Lockheed Board. In addition,
$5,000 is paid annually on behalf of each non-employee director to a trust
maintained under the deferred compensation plan for the purpose of purchasing
Lockheed Common Stock on the open market for the benefit of such non-employee
directors. Prior to 1993, directors could also direct a portion of their cash
remuneration to the trust for the purchase of Lockheed Common Stock. Lockheed
Common Stock held by the trust is distributable after a participant ceases to be
a member of the Lockheed Board. Lockheed has amended the deferred compensation
plan so as to continue the deferral of the cash and stock balances of those
members of the Lockheed Board who become members of the Lockheed Martin Board
until after they cease to be members of the Lockheed Martin Board. Lockheed
Common Stock held by the trust would be exchanged for Lockheed Martin Common
Stock upon consummation of the Combination. See "OWNERSHIP OF LOCKHEED, MARTIN
MARIETTA AND LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Lockheed."
Directors Retirement Plan. Non-employee directors of Lockheed who cease to
be members of the Lockheed Board and who have reached age 65 with five or more
years of service on the Lockheed Board are entitled to receive an annual
retirement benefit equal to the amount of the annual fee, including the portion
contributed in trust for the purchase of Lockheed Common Stock, in effect on the
date the director ceases to be a member of the Lockheed Board. Unless a director
elects an equivalent lump sum payment, the benefits are payable monthly to the
retired director or the director's surviving spouse for a period equal to the
number of years (including any partial year), up to twenty, that the director
served on the Lockheed Board. Lockheed has amended the retirement plan so as to
(i) vest all benefits under the plan but not otherwise increase the amount or
duration of the benefits and (ii) make the benefits payable on the later of
leaving the Lockheed Board or the Lockheed Martin Board. Assuming consummation
of the Combination on March 15, 1995, Directors Kirby, Savage, Trost and
Yearley, each with slightly over four years of service, would become entitled to
receive a monthly benefit of $2,500 for five years, payable as described in
clause (ii) above. Similarly, Directors Cheney and Cook would become entitled to
receive the same benefit for two years and four years, respectively, based on
service of approximately one year and 3 3/4 years, respectively. See "MANAGEMENT
OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Directors."
Directors and Officers of Lockheed Martin. Twelve of the current 14
directors of Lockheed will become directors of Lockheed Martin. See "MANAGEMENT
OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Directors." In addition, certain executive officers of
Lockheed, including Messrs. Cannestra, Coffman, Marafino and Tellep, will become
officers of Lockheed Martin. See "MANAGEMENT OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Officers."
Martin Marietta
Under the terms of various of Martin Marietta's benefit plans, the
Combination (which will constitute a "change of control" as that term is defined
in the governing documents for such plans) will result in (a) the acceleration
of the payment of certain benefits that would otherwise have been payable over
time, (b) the early vesting of certain benefits that would not otherwise be
fully vested as of the Merger Date and (c) in the case of one such plan, the use
of modified formulae for calculating the amounts of such benefits. The Martin
Marietta Board has determined that it will defer certain payments of these
benefits to any individual who may be one of the five most highly compensated
executive officers of Lockheed Martin in the event that payment may prevent
Martin Marietta from deducting such payments for Federal income tax purposes.
Under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan an eligible director has the
option each year of deferring receipt of all or part of the fees earned as a
director until after termination of service as a director. A director's annual
election is irrevocable and interest is accrued on the amount deferred. Under
the terms of the plan, following consummation of the Combination, further
deferral of amounts earned prior to the Merger Date will not be permitted, and
each participating director will receive a disbursement of the balance of his or
her deferred compensation account as of the Merger Date. The amount of each
director's deferred compensation balance as of January 31, 1995 (including
accrued interest) was as follows: Mr. Byrne, $580,000; Mr. Clark, $561,000; Mr.
Colodny, $32,000; Mr. Hood, $130,000; Mr. Laird, $1,185,000; Mr. Macklin,
$224,000; and General Vessey, $372,000.

The Post-Retirement Income Maintenance Plan for Directors provides that a
director who at the time of retirement has served as a director for five years
(or such shorter period as may be approved by the Nominating Committee of the
Martin Marietta Board) and who has attained retirement age (which is currently
age 72) will receive for life an annual fee equal to the annual basic retainer
in effect at the time of retirement. A director who retires early after
completing at least five years of service is entitled to receive an annual fee
equal to the annual retainer in effect at the time of retirement for a period
equal to the number of full years served on the Martin Marietta Board.
Under the terms of the plan, as a result of the Combination, rather than
receiving these annual payments, each director will be entitled to receive a
lump sum payment equal to the present value (i.e., discounted value) of his or
her vested plan benefits determined as if he or she had retired from the Martin
Marietta Board on the Merger Date. Years of service will be rounded up to the
nearest whole year. Thus, as a result of the Combination, directors who have not
attained retirement age as of the Merger Date will be treated as if they had
retired early and not be eligible to receive a lifetime retirement benefit.
Pursuant to a recent amendment, any active director over the age of 62 with five
years of service who will not be nominated to the Lockheed Martin Board will
receive a lump sum amount based on the present value (i.e., discounted value) of
the amounts that would be payable over the longer of the following periods: (a)
the director's life expectancy or (b) years of service as a Martin Marietta
Board member. In determining present value, an after-tax discount rate will be
used. The Plan was also recently amended to provide (i) that non-continuous
service will be aggregated for the purpose of satisfying the service requirement
and (ii) that outside directors who are not nominated to the Lockheed Martin
Board will also receive board and committee fees that would have been paid had
the director continued to serve on the Board for the remaining term of election
by Martin Marietta's stockholders. Directors who have been nominated to the
Lockheed Martin Board will receive a lump sum payment based on the plan
provisions prior to these amendments.
In view of the intended operation of the plan in the absence of a change in
control, the Martin Marietta Board has determined to value the benefit for
directors eligible to receive a lifetime benefit on the basis of the cost of an
annuity contract issued by an insurance company providing the same annual
payments on an after-tax basis over the expected life of the director. The cost
of such annuity contracts may differ from the cost of providing lump sum
payments; however, the differences in cost are not material.
Assuming consummation of the Combination on March 1, 1995, the amount
payable under the plan to each eligible director is estimated to be as follows:
Mr. Alexander, $236,000; Mr. Augustine, $291,000; Mr. Byrne, $572,000; Mr.
Clark, $377,000; Mr. Colodny, $243,000; Mr. Everett, $465,000; Mr. Hennessy,
$357,000; Mr. Hurtt, $243,000; Mr. Laird, $427,000; Mr. Murray, $162,000;
General Vessey, $428,000; and Mr. Young, $190,000.
The Directors Charitable Award Plan provides that in the event of the death
of an incumbent director, Martin Marietta will make donations to charities or
other eligible tax-exempt organizations previously recommended by the director
in an aggregate amount of $1 million. Directors are vested under this plan if
(a) they have served for at least five years on the Martin Marietta Board or (b)
their service on the Martin Marietta Board is terminated due to death,
disability or retirement. Under the terms of the plan, upon consummation of the
Combination, incumbent directors with fewer than five years of service on the
Board (Mrs. King and Messrs. Alexander, Bennett, Hood, Macklin, Murphy and
Murray), will become vested under this plan. This plan does not result in any
economic benefit to directors.
Under the Deferred Compensation and Estate Supplement Plan, officers and
senior executive personnel are eligible to receive a benefit after retirement.
Benefit levels are determined by a schedule approved by the Martin Marietta
Board and depend on the position of the executive and years of plan
participation. A participant receives a percentage of the total scheduled
benefit payable based on age at retirement, payable over ten years commencing at
retirement (or, to a participant's estate, if a participant dies while an active
employee). Under the terms of the plan prior to the recent amendment described
below, payment of the total scheduled benefit would be due in full upon
consummation of the Combination. The Martin Marietta Board has recently amended
this plan to limit the payment upon consummation of the Combination to the
present value of the earned benefit as follows: (a) the total scheduled benefit
will be discounted to present value and
36
47
(b) each participant will, on the Merger Date, be entitled to receive a percent
(determined by the number of full years up to ten years, rounded up to the
nearest whole year, of plan participation, and ranging from 20% to 100%) of the
amount determined by such present value calculation. Assuming consummation of
the Combination on March 1, 1995, Martin Marietta estimates that benefit amounts
payable under this plan to 20 employee participants would be approximately
$8,200,000, including the following amounts payable to executive officers: Mr.
Augustine, $1,064,000; Mr. Young, $801,000; Mr. Teets, $561,000; Mr. Bennett,
$728,000; and Mr. Menaker, $367,000; and other executive officers, $1,337,000.
The Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan is a death benefit program covering
20 participants who hold specific positions approved for participation by the
Martin Marietta Board. The plan provides death benefit coverage commencing
immediately upon retirement in amounts ranging from 15 percent (upon retirement
at age 55) to 150 percent (upon retirement at or after age 64) of final
annualized salary, depending upon the age of the participant at retirement.
Benefits are grossed up for income taxes. This plan will be discontinued if the
Combination is consummated. In lieu thereof, a death benefit will be paid
calculated based on the applicable percentage (determined by age at retirement)
and annualized salary at the time of consummation of the Combination. If each
participant could retire on March 1, 1995 and the applicable percentage is
assumed to be 100% for each participant (which is assumed solely for purposes of
this calculation), the death benefits payable to such persons would be
approximately $6,400,000 in the aggregate. If Lockheed Martin should adopt a
death benefit plan covering any of the current participants in the Martin
Marietta plan, the death benefits payable with respect to those Martin Marietta
executives will be the greater of the amounts payable to them pursuant to the
Lockheed Martin plan or the Martin Marietta plan discussed above.
The Reorganization Agreement provides for each stock option and stock
appreciation right outstanding under Martin Marietta and Lockheed stock option
plans to be converted into an option and stock appreciation right with respect
to stock of Lockheed Martin. Such conversion is described in greater detail
below under the heading "THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Certain Benefits
Matters." Upon consummation of the Combination, stock options granted in 1992
under Martin Marietta's Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan that in the
absence of the Combination would become exercisable in July 1995, will become
immediately exercisable. Likewise, stock options granted in 1993 that would
otherwise become exercisable in July 1995 and 1996, will become immediately
exercisable.
Based upon options outstanding as of February 1, 1995 that were granted in
1992 and 1993, the exercisability of options to purchase an aggregate of
1,210,600 shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock, valued at $10,812,000 and held
by 466 persons, would be accelerated if the Combination occurs. Each of the
individuals listed below holds "in-the-money" options granted in 1992 and 1993
which will become exercisable as a result of the Combination with respect to the
following number of shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock and corresponding
aggregate values: Mr. Augustine, 106,800 shares valued at $1,012,200; Mr. Young,
63,400 shares valued at $595,800; Mr. Teets, 23,400 shares valued at $239,900;
Mr. Bennett, 21,000 shares valued at $215,600; and Mr. Menaker, 14,000 shares
valued at $143,800; and for other executive officers, 87,400 shares valued at
$753,300. The aggregate value is based on the difference between the per share
exercise price and the closing price of $44 3/8 per share on the NYSE Composite
Tape on February 1, 1995. See "SUMMARY -- Comparative Per Share Market Price
Information." Mr. Augustine has informed the Martin Marietta Board in writing
that he intends to voluntarily refrain from exercising any options that become
exercisable upon consummation of the Combination prior to the date the options
would have been exercisable had the Combination not been consummated.
Martin Marietta granted options with respect to 1,353,650 shares of Martin
Marietta Common Stock to 659 employees during 1994. These stock options will not
become exercisable as a result of the Combination but will vest in accordance
with their regular schedule.
Some senior executive personnel have received restricted stock awards under
Martin Marietta's stock plans. The executives are entitled to the stock if they
remain with Martin Marietta or an affiliate during the operative period of the
restrictions. Under the 1991 awards, 50% of which vested in July, 1994, the
restrictions associated with the remaining 50% of the award will continue in
accordance with the terms of the award following consummation of the Combination
unless the employee is terminated or gives notice of termination
37
48
for good cause (as defined in the award agreement) within two years following
the Merger Date. The 1993 restricted stock awards will vest upon consummation of
the Combination. Assuming a price for the restricted stock of $44 3/8 per share
(the closing price on the NYSE Composite Tape on February 1, 1995), the 1993
restricted stock awards, which totalled 170,000 shares for all 14 recipients,
would be valued at $7,543,800, including the following awards for executive
officers: Mr. Augustine, 32,000 shares, valued at $1,420,000; Mr. Young, 24,000
shares, valued at $1,065,000; Mr. Teets, 12,000 shares, valued at $532,500; Mr.
Bennett, 12,000 shares, valued at $532,500; and Mr. Menaker, 8,000 shares,
valued at $355,000; and other executive officers, 40,000 shares, valued at
$1,775,000.
There were no restricted stock awards granted to executive officers in 1992
or 1994.
The Amended and Restated Long Term Performance Incentive Compensation Plan
maintained by Martin Marietta applies to performance units awarded after 1990.
The plan provides that each vested unit will be exchanged for a cash amount
calculated under a formula which ties the redemption value of the performance
units to any increase in Martin Marietta's earnings per share ("EPS") at the end
of a three-year period over a base value established at the time of grant.
Performance units granted in 1993 ("1993 Units") provide for redemption in
1996 based on the excess of Martin Marietta's 1995 EPS over the base value
established in 1993. Martin Marietta estimates that, in the absence of the
Combination, each 1993 Unit would be valued at approximately $8.00. The 1993
Units provide, however, that, in the event of a transaction such as the
Combination, such Units will immediately and fully vest in their entirety and a
modified formula will apply, which will result in a per Unit value of
approximately $36.50, which in turn will result in payments following
consummation of the Combination to 439 employee participants with an estimated
aggregate value of approximately $42,398,000, including payments to executive
officers as follows: Mr. Augustine, $3,657,500; Mr. Young, $2,194,500; Mr.
Teets, $731,500; Mr. Bennett, $658,400; and Mr. Menaker, $438,900; and other
executive officers, $3,255,175. Mr. Augustine and his wife have established a
charitable gift fund to which payments attributable to the difference between
the $36.50 to be paid per Unit and the approximately $8.00 which would have been
paid in the absence of the Combination will be contributed (net of taxes due
thereon) upon Mr. Augustine's receipt of such payments. Such receipt may be
deferred pursuant to the decision of the Martin Marietta Board, noted above, to
defer certain payments to the five most highly compensated executive officers in
the event that payment may prevent Martin Marietta from deducting such payments
for Federal income tax purposes. Additionally, with respect to all 1993 Units,
no amounts attributable to the difference between the amount paid per Unit and
that which would have been paid in the absence of the Combination will be
charged to the U.S. Government.
In addition, in the absence of the Combination, 1994 performance units
("1994 Units") would be redeemable in 1997 based upon 1996 EPS. If the
Combination is consummated, the 1994 Units will immediately and fully vest in
their entirety and will be redeemed based upon an estimate of 1996 EPS,
discounted to March 1995. This will result in payments following consummation of
the Combination to 475 employee participants that are estimated to be
approximately $9,758,000 in the aggregate, including payments to executive
officers as follows: Mr. Augustine, $771,000; Mr. Young, $463,000; Mr. Teets,
$231,300; Mr. Bennett, $216,000; and Mr. Menaker, $154,200. The remaining
executive officers will receive $709,300 in the aggregate.
If the Combination is consummated, no further performance units will be
awarded under the Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan. In
addition, since all outstanding units awarded under the plan will immediately
and fully vest in their entirety and become payable upon consummation of the
Combination, no awards will be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the
Reorganization Agreement. It is anticipated that any subsequent awards of this
type will be made pursuant to the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan or any successor
or substitute plan adopted by Lockheed Martin.
Martin Marietta has employment agreements with Messrs. Augustine, Young,
Teets, Bennett and Menaker and six other executive officers. Under these
agreements, following consummation of the Combination, an officer may, for good
cause (as that term is defined in the various agreements) and within two years
after the Merger Date and within six months after the date on which
circumstances constituting good cause
38
49
exist, give notice that he or she elects to terminate employment under the
agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, or upon involuntary termination by
Martin Marietta, the agreements require Martin Marietta to pay the officer an
amount equal to three times his or her average annual taxable compensation for
the preceding five years, less one dollar, as well as any other compensation or
benefits due and any amount necessary to compensate the officer for any excise
tax imposed with respect to payments made under the agreement or any other
agreement between the officer and Martin Marietta. Mr. Augustine has voluntarily
waived his rights under his employment agreement as it relates to this
transaction.
Directors and Officers of Lockheed Martin. Twelve of the current 17
directors of Martin Marietta will become directors of Lockheed Martin. See
"MANAGEMENT OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Directors." In addition, certain executive
officers of Martin Marietta, including Messrs. Augustine, Young, Teets, Bennett
and Menaker, will become officers of Lockheed Martin. See "MANAGEMENT OF
LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Officers."
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Combination is expected to qualify as a pooling of interests for
accounting and financial reporting purposes. Under this accounting method, the
assets and liabilities of Lockheed and Martin Marietta will be carried forward
to Lockheed Martin at their historical recorded bases. Results of operations of
Lockheed Martin will include the results of both Lockheed and Martin Marietta
for the entire fiscal year in which the Combination occurs. The reported balance
sheet amounts and results of operations of the separate corporations for prior
periods will be combined, reclassified and conformed, as appropriate, to reflect
the combined balance sheets and statements of results of operations for the new
corporation. It is a condition to the Combination that Lockheed and Martin
Marietta each receive from Ernst & Young LLP, Lockheed's and Martin Marietta's
independent auditors, a letter dated the Merger Date to the effect that they
concur with the conclusions of Lockheed's and Martin Marietta's managements that
the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, if consummated,
will qualify as transactions to be accounted for in accordance with the pooling
of interests method of accounting under the requirements of APB No. 16. See
"UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a general description of the material Federal income tax
consequences of the Combination (i) to a stockholder of Lockheed whose shares of
Lockheed Common Stock are converted into shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
pursuant to the Pacific Sub Merger and (ii) to a stockholder of Martin Marietta
whose shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock are converted into shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock or whose shares of Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock are converted into shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock pursuant to the Atlantic Sub Merger. The discussion does not address all
aspects of Federal income taxation that may be important to particular
stockholders and may not be applicable to stockholders who are not citizens or
residents of the United States or who acquired their Lockheed or Martin Marietta
stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as
compensation. The effects of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax
laws are not addressed. This discussion assumes that Lockheed and Martin
Marietta stockholders hold their respective shares of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta stock as capital assets as defined in the Code. Lockheed and Martin
Marietta stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular
tax consequences of the Pacific Sub Merger or the Atlantic Sub Merger, as the
case may be, to them.
Neither Lockheed, Martin Marietta or Lockheed Martin intends to seek a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") with respect to the tax
consequences of the Combination. Lockheed and Martin Marietta believe, based
upon the opinions of O'Melveny & Myers and King & Spalding, respectively, and it
is assumed for purposes of the following discussion, that for Federal income tax
purposes the Combination will constitute tax-free transactions under the Code
and no gain or loss will be recognized (i) by Lockheed or Lockheed stockholders
whose shares of Lockheed Common Stock are converted into shares of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock in the Pacific Sub Merger (except to the extent of cash paid
in lieu of fractional shares) or (ii) by Martin Marietta or by Martin Marietta
stockholders whose shares of Martin
39
50
Marietta Common Stock are converted into shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
or whose shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock are converted into
shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock in the Atlantic Sub Merger.
In rendering such opinions, counsel has relied upon, among other things,
representations contained in certificates of Lockheed and Martin Marietta.
Consummation of each of the Pacific Sub Merger and the Atlantic Sub Merger is
conditioned upon the foregoing opinions of counsel being reconfirmed at the
Merger Date.
The principal Federal income tax consequences of the Pacific Sub Merger to
Lockheed stockholders and the Atlantic Sub Merger to Martin Marietta
stockholders will be as set forth below.
Consequences to Holders of Lockheed Common Stock. Except with respect to
cash received in lieu of fractional shares, no gain or loss will be recognized
by holders of Lockheed Common Stock upon the receipt of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock in the Pacific Sub Merger and the tax basis of the Lockheed Martin Common
Stock received will be equal to the tax basis of the Lockheed Common Stock
surrendered in exchange therefor. For Federal income tax purposes, the holding
period of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock received will include the holding
period of the Lockheed Common Stock surrendered. Based on the Service's advance
rulings policy of treating cash paid in lieu of fractional share interests
arising in corporate reorganizations as having been received by the stockholders
as payment for the fractional share interests redeemed, gains and losses
realized by a stockholder with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of a
fractional share will be capital gain or loss. To determine the amount of such
gain or loss, a portion of the tax basis in the shares of Lockheed Common Stock
surrendered will be allocated to the fractional share. The amount of such gain
or loss will be the difference between the amount of cash received for such
fractional share and the amount of such basis. In the case of individuals,
long-term capital gains are subject to a maximum tax rate of 28%.
Consequences to Holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock. No gain or loss
will be recognized by holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock upon the receipt
of Lockheed Martin Common Stock in the Atlantic Sub Merger and the tax basis of
the Lockheed Martin Common Stock received will be equal to the tax basis of the
Martin Marietta Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor. For Federal
income tax purposes, the holding period of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock
received will include the holding period of the Martin Marietta Common Stock
surrendered.
Consequences to the Holder of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock. No
gain or loss will be recognized by the holder of Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock upon receipt of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock in the
Atlantic Sub Merger. The tax basis of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock received will be equal to the tax basis of the Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock surrendered in exchange therefor. For Federal income tax
purposes, the holding period of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
received will include the holding period of the Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock surrendered.
Lockheed Martin. Based upon the opinions of O'Melveny & Myers and King &
Spalding, for Federal income tax purposes Lockheed Martin will recognize no gain
or loss on the issuance of Lockheed Martin Common Stock or Lockheed Martin
Series A Preferred Stock to the Lockheed and Martin Marietta stockholders in the
Pacific Sub Merger and the Atlantic Sub Merger, respectively.
THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR
GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. LOCKHEED AND MARTIN MARIETTA STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED
TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
COMBINATION.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Antitrust. Under the HSR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the
FTC, the Combination may not be consummated until notifications have been given
and certain information has been furnished to the FTC and the Antitrust Division
and specified waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Lockheed and
Martin Marietta filed notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the
FTC and the Antitrust
40
51
Division effective on September 23, 1994. The FTC, which reviewed the
transaction, made a request for additional information on October 21, 1994. Both
Lockheed and Martin Marietta completed their respective submissions of
additional information on December 22, 1994, and the statutory waiting period
under the HSR Act expired on January 11, 1995.
On December 22, 1994, Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and Lockheed Martin (the
"Companies") executed an Agreement Containing Consent Order with the FTC staff,
which was provisionally accepted by the FTC on January 11, 1995, subject to
further review at the expiration of a public comment period which expires on
March 28, 1995. After the expiration of the public comment period, the FTC will
vote to either finally accept the Consent Order or withdraw its acceptance of
the Consent Order.
With respect to the HSR Act, the Companies may consummate the Combination
at any time subsequent to the January 11, 1995 expiration of the HSR waiting
period and are not required to delay consummation until expiration of the public
comment period and final FTC acceptance. If the Companies consummate the
Combination prior to final FTC acceptance of the Consent Order and the FTC
withdraws its provisional acceptance of the Consent Order, the FTC could file an
administrative action challenging the Combination in whole or in part, and could
seek divestiture of all or part of Lockheed Martin's assets. Any adverse FTC
decision in any such administrative action would be subject to review by a
federal court of appeals. If the FTC withdraws its provisional acceptance of the
Consent Order prior to consummation of the Combination, the FTC could seek a
temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary injunction pursuant to Section
13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act to prevent consummation of the
transaction subject to the completion of an administrative action, and any
resulting appeals, adjudicating the lawfulness of the transaction.
The Companies have agreed to comply with the Consent Order during the
public comment period and, if the FTC withdraws its provisional acceptance of
the Consent Order, for ten days thereafter. A summary of the material elements
of the Consent Order is as follows:
(i) The Companies will be prohibited from enforcing or attempting to
enforce the exclusivity provisions of Lockheed's teaming agreement with GM
Hughes Electronics Corporation ("Hughes") by which Lockheed and Hughes
agreed to cooperate to compete for space based early warning satellite
systems, and the Companies will be prohibited from enforcing or attempting
to enforce any proprietary rights in the electro-optical sensors developed
by Hughes for use in such systems in a manner that would inhibit Hughes
from competing with the Companies. Thus, Hughes will be permitted (but not
required) to team with other companies or may compete for space based early
warning satellite systems independently.
(ii) The Companies will be prohibited from enforcing or attempting to
enforce the exclusivity provisions of Martin Marietta's teaming agreement
with Northrop Grumman Corporation ("Grumman") by which Martin Marietta and
Grumman agreed to cooperate to compete for space based early warning
satellite systems, and the Companies will be prohibited from enforcing or
attempting to enforce any proprietary rights in the electro-optical sensors
developed by Grumman for use in such systems in a manner that would inhibit
Grumman from competing with the Companies. Thus, Grumman will be permitted
(but not required) to team with other companies or may compete for space
based early warning satellite systems independently.
(iii) The Companies are required to ensure that no non-public
proprietary data provided by aircraft manufacturers to Martin Marietta's
Electronics and Missiles Division ("Electronics and Missiles"), which
produces LANTIRN night navigation, terrain following and targeting systems
for aircraft, is disclosed or provided to Lockheed's Aeronautical Systems
Group, which produces aircraft (except with the prior written consent of
the proprietor of such data). Electronics and Missiles is required to use
any such non-public proprietary data only in its capacity as the provider
of LANTIRN systems.
(iv) The Companies are prohibited from modifying, upgrading or
otherwise changing LANTIRN systems in any way that discriminates against
any military aircraft manufacturer with regard to the performance of the
aircraft or the time or cost required to integrate LANTIRN systems into the
aircraft
41
52
unless such modifications are necessary to meet competition from other
products or are approved by the Secretary of Defense or his or her
designees.
(v) The Companies are required to ensure that no non-public
proprietary data provided by expendable launch vehicle manufacturers to the
Companies, when the Companies are acting in their capacities as providers
of satellites, is disclosed or provided to those portions of the Companies
that manufacture or sell expendable launch vehicles or is used by the
Companies otherwise than in their capacities as providers of satellites
(except with the prior written consent of the proprietor of such data).
In addition to the material substantive provisions summarized above, the Consent
Order contains procedural provisions, including a requirement that the Companies
provide a copy of the Consent Order to designated aircraft and expendable launch
vehicle manufacturers from whom they obtain non-public proprietary information,
as well as a requirement that the Companies provide periodic compliance reports
to the FTC. The term of the Consent Order is twenty (20) years.
The Companies do not believe that, if the Combination is consummated,
compliance with the Consent Order will have a material adverse impact on the
business, results of operations or financial condition of Lockheed Martin and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the operating sectors anticipated to be
organized by Lockheed Martin as reportable business segments. See "BUSINESS OF
LOCKHEED MARTIN" and "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- Lockheed Plea Agreement."
At any time before or after the consummation of the Combination, and
notwithstanding that the HSR Act waiting period has expired or been terminated,
any federal or state antitrust authorities could take action under the antitrust
laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest. Such action
could include seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Combination or seeking
divestiture of all or part of the assets of Lockheed or Martin Marietta. Neither
Lockheed nor Martin Marietta is obligated to agree to divest any of its or the
other's material assets in order to obtain governmental approval. See "THE
REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Certain Covenants." Private parties may also seek to
take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances.
Foreign Approvals. The Combination required antitrust and other filings and
approvals in certain foreign jurisdictions. The parties believe that all
required filings have been made, and all required approvals have been obtained.
If it later appears that any foreign approval which the parties deem to be
material for Lockheed Martin has not been obtained by the time the parties are
otherwise ready to consummate the Combination, the parties may decide to delay
consummation of the Combination or may seek to negotiate with the appropriate
authorities a temporary "hold separate" or other arrangement with respect to
operations in the jurisdiction in question, to the extent necessary to enable
the parties to proceed with consummation of the Combination.
CERTAIN LITIGATION
Lockheed, Martin Marietta and the directors of Lockheed are parties to
three lawsuits filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Richard
Rampell and Frederick Rand v. Daniel M. Tellep, et al., filed August 31, 1994
(the "Rampell Complaint"), Stanton Discount Pharmacy, Inc. v. Daniel M. Tellep,
et al., filed September 12, 1994 (the "Stanton Complaint") and Rose Hadian v.
Daniel M. Tellep, et al., filed October 27, 1994 (the "Hadian Complaint"), and
one lawsuit filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entitled
Daniel Lifshitz v. Lockheed Corporation, et al., filed September 26, 1994 (the
"Lifshitz Complaint"). Each of these lawsuits purports to be a class action on
behalf of all Lockheed stockholders similarly situated. Martin Marietta,
Lockheed and the directors of Martin Marietta are parties to a lawsuit filed in
the Superior Court of the State or California, Doris R. Fish v. Marcus C.
Bennett, et al., filed October 26, 1994 (the "Fish Complaint"). This lawsuit
purports to be a class action on behalf of all Martin Marietta stockholders
similarly situated.
42
53
The Rampell Complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants
either breached or aided and abetted the breach of various fiduciary duties by
(i) failing to maximize stockholder value by conducting an auction for Lockheed
or otherwise seeking out the highest possible bid for Lockheed; (ii) attempting
unfairly to deprive plaintiffs and other members of the class of the true value
of their interest in Lockheed; (iii) placing their personal interests ahead of
those of Lockheed's public stockholders; (iv) using their positions for the
purpose of benefiting themselves to the detriment of plaintiffs and other
members of the class; (v) depriving the stockholders of the opportunity for
substantial gains which Lockheed may realize; (vi) not acting independently so
that the interests of Lockheed's public stockholders would be protected from
conflicts of interest; (vii) failing to take all appropriate steps to enhance
Lockheed's value and attractiveness as a merger, acquisition, restructuring or
recapitalization candidate or to take steps to conduct an active auction for
Lockheed; and (viii) entering into the Combination without regard to the
fairness of the transaction to Lockheed's public stockholders. The Rampell
Complaint seeks to have the court order the defendants to carry out their
fiduciary duties, to enjoin the Combination, to rescind any transaction effected
by the defendants in an unfair manner and for an unfair price in the event that
the Combination is not enjoined, to have defendants account for all profits and
to have all such profits held in constructive trust for the benefit of the
plaintiff class, and for unspecified monetary damages.
The Stanton Complaint alleges, among other things, that the consideration
to be paid to Lockheed stockholders is unconscionable and unfair and grossly
inadequate because, among other things, the intrinsic value of the Lockheed
Common Stock is materially in excess of the amount offered for those securities.
The Stanton Complaint also alleges that the Lockheed directors, aided and
abetted by Martin Marietta, have violated their fiduciary duties by allowing
Martin Marietta to lock up Lockheed prematurely and to effectively cap the price
of Lockheed stock, thus depriving plaintiff and the class of an opportunity to
realize any increase in the value of Lockheed stock and failing to maximize
shareholder value, including by failing to actively pursue the acquisition of
Lockheed by other companies (or conducting an adequate market check) and
otherwise failing to protect the interests of the class. The Stanton Complaint
seeks generally the same relief as the Rampell Complaint.
The Hadian Complaint alleges, among other things, that the consideration to
be paid to Lockheed stockholders is unconscionable and unfair and grossly
inadequate because, among other things, the intrinsic value of the Lockheed
Common Stock is materially in excess of the amount offered for those securities
and the consideration agreed upon did not result from an appropriate
consideration of the value of the Lockheed Common Stock because the Lockheed
directors approved the Combination without adopting proper procedures for
Lockheed's value to be accurately ascertained through open bidding or at least a
"market check" mechanism. The Hadian Complaint also alleges that the
Reorganization Agreement inhibits the maximization of shareholder value and
Lockheed's stockholders will have no effective option other than to accept the
unfair terms of the Reorganization Agreement. Further, the Hadian Complaint
alleges that the Lockheed directors, aided and abetted by Martin Marietta, have
breached their fiduciary duties (i) by adopting a "poison pill" antitakeover
defense and a "lockup fee" provision, both of which are unconscionable and
unreasonable devices, (ii) by allowing Martin Marietta to lock up Lockheed
prematurely, which has allowed the price of the Lockheed Common Stock to be
effectively capped, and (iii) by failing to maximize shareholder value and
protect the interests of the Lockheed stockholders by, among other things,
failing actively to pursue the acquisition of Lockheed by other companies or
conducting an adequate market check. The Hadian Complaint seeks to have the
court (a) enjoin the Combination, (b) require the defendants to make full and
fair disclosure of the material facts prior to consummation of the Combination,
(c) if the Combination is consummated, rescind the transaction, and (d) award
unspecified monetary damages.
The Lifshitz Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Combination is
demonstratively unequal and unfair to Lockheed's stockholders in that the terms
of the Combination ignore Lockheed's greater financial strength and performance
over the past four years. Further, the Lifshitz Complaint alleges that the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties by (i) failing to maximize
shareholder value or engage in open bidding or canvassing of the market to
ensure that the terms of the Combination were fair; (ii) permitting the price of
Lockheed's stock to be effectively capped, thereby depriving the plaintiff and
the class of the opportunity to realize any increase in the value of Lockheed's
stock; (iii) engaging in a scheme, conspiracy
43
54
and plan to entrench themselves and unlawfully thwart offers and proposals from
third parties; (iv) failing to fully inform themselves before taking, or
agreeing to refrain from taking, action; (v) failing to act with complete
candor; and (vi) triggering the provisions of the Lockheed Rights Agreement by
permitting a change of control to occur under its terms. As discussed under "THE
COMBINATION -- Background," the directors amended the Lockheed Rights Agreement
on August 29, 1994, to provide that the Combination will not be an event that
triggers the exercisability of rights under the Lockheed Rights Agreement.
The Lifshitz Complaint seeks injunctive relief declaring that the Lockheed
directors have committed a gross abuse of trust and have breached their
fiduciary duties to the plaintiff class, declaring the Lockheed Rights Agreement
void, requiring Lockheed's directors to fulfill their fiduciary duties to
maximize shareholder value by exploring third-party interests and accepting the
highest offer obtainable for the public stockholders or by permitting the
stockholders to make the decision free of any coercion, and for unspecified
monetary damages.
The Fish Complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants have
engaged in a plan and scheme to benefit themselves at the expense of Martin
Marietta's public stockholders and to deprive them of the true value of their
investment in Martin Marietta. The Fish Complaint further alleges that the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties by: (i) not acting independently so
that the interests of the Martin Marietta public stockholders would be
protected; (ii) not adequately ensuring that no conflicts of interests exist;
(iii) not taking all appropriate steps to enhance Martin Marietta's value and
attractiveness as a merger, acquisition, restructuring or recapitalization
candidate; and (iv) not taking steps to conduct an active auction for Martin
Marietta. In addition, the Fish Complaint alleges that (i) the exchange ratio is
unfair to Martin Marietta stockholders in that it fails to take into account
Martin Marietta's increasing profitability as compared to Lockheed's, (ii) the
exchange ratio is unfair to holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock in that they
will own only a minority stake in Lockheed Martin if GE converts its Martin
Marietta Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) the $100 million termination fee
effectively rules out any serious chance for a fair and free auction and (iv)
the defendants have failed to disclose, among other things, the full extent of
the potential for growth and value potential of Martin Marietta. The Fish
Complaint seeks to have the court (i) order the defendants to carry out their
fiduciary duties, including those of loyalty, due care and candor; (ii) rescind
any transactions effected by the defendants in an unfair manner and for an
unfair price, (iii) enjoin the complained of transaction or any related
transactions and (iv) order defendants to pay monetary damages.
Settlement discussions with respect to the pending litigations began
between the parties on or about January 4, 1995. During these discussions,
counsel for the plaintiffs requested and shortly thereafter received document
discovery from Lockheed and Martin Marietta relating to the Combination. Counsel
for the plaintiffs also announced their intention to consolidate all of the
shareholder class actions into a single case and to file an amended class action
and derivative complaint in California in the lead case, the Rampell Complaint
referenced above, incorporating all of the existing claims from the original
complaints, and adding claims relating to: (i) the formation of Lockheed's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan in 1989 after the disclosure by Valhi, Inc. and
persons related to it that they owned 5.3% of the Lockheed Common Stock; (ii)
Lockheed's plea agreement as described under "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- Lockheed
Plea Agreement" and Lockheed's payment of $24.8 million in fines and penalties
to the United States in that action; (iii) the compensation to be paid to
certain Martin Marietta officers and executives as a result of the Combination;
and (iv) disclosures made and proposed to be made to stockholders of Lockheed
and Martin Marietta. The parties continued their discussions regarding a
settlement of the claims alleged in the complaints referred to above (as well as
the claims expected to be alleged in the revised Rampell Complaint) and, in the
course of negotiations, reached an oral agreement in principle on January 30,
1995 with respect to the terms of a proposed settlement of such claims. On
February 2, 1995 the Rampell Complaint was amended to include the allegations
referred to above.
The agreement in principle, which is subject to the execution and delivery
of a mutually-satisfactory stipulation of settlement (a "Stipulation"),
contemplates a settlement subject to Court approval involving the following
elements: (a) Lockheed Martin would agree, subject to any restrictions imposed
by Maryland law, to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 (rather than
$0.35, as otherwise contemplated) per share on each outstanding share of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock for each of the first three quarters after
consummation
44
55
of the Combination and approval of the settlement in which net income (excluding
non-recurring restructure costs and extraordinary charges and transaction
expenses) is sufficient to pay such a dividend; (b) the provisions of Section
6.7 of the Reorganization Agreement would be amended to permit either Lockheed
or Martin Marietta to initiate discussions with third parties regarding business
combination transactions if either company's Board of Directors, upon written
advice of counsel, has determined that it is in the best interests of such
company's stockholders to initiate such discussions; (c) the termination fee
specified in Section 8.2 of the Reorganization Agreement would be reduced from
$100 million to $50 million; (d) this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus would
reflect certain additional disclosures proposed by counsel for plaintiffs; (e)
in part as a result of the pendency of the plaintiffs' actions, Lockheed would
agree to strengthen its policies and procedures to help to insure compliance
with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and (f) Lockheed Martin would agree to
the payment of $6 million in counsel fees and expenses to plaintiffs' counsel
with interest from the date plaintiffs' counsel delivers to defendants' counsel
a draft of the Stipulation.
It is contemplated that the proposed settlement will be expressly
conditioned upon (i) the Combination being consummated substantially on the
terms set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, (ii) Lockheed and Martin
Marietta receiving evidence satisfactory to them that the provisions of the
proposed settlement will not result in the pooling of interests method of
accounting for the Combination being unavailable under the requirements of APB
No. 16; (iii) certification of the stockholder classes (for the purpose of
obtaining approval of the Stipulation and entry of an appropriate judgment);
(iv) court approval of the Stipulation; and (v) final dismissal of the actions
with prejudice and release of the claims asserted in such actions with
prejudice.
As discussed above, the Combination is structured as a "merger of equals"
and does not involve a sale of Lockheed or Martin Marietta, and the Lockheed
Board and the Martin Marietta Board have thoroughly reviewed the terms and
conditions of the Combination and have determined that the Combination is in the
best interests of their respective stockholders (see "-- Background",
"-- Recommendation of Lockheed Board; Lockheed's Reasons for the Combination"
and "-- Recommendation of Martin Marietta Board; Martin Marietta's Reasons for
the Combination"). Lockheed, Martin Marietta and the other defendants have
denied, and continue to deny, that they have committed any violations of law,
and they have agreed in principle to the proposed settlement in order to
eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation and to facilitate the
consummation of a transaction that they believe to be in the best interests of
the stockholders of Lockheed and Martin Marietta. On February 7, 1995 Lockheed,
Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin made the amendments to Sections 6.7 and 8.2
of the Reorganization Agreement contemplated by the terms of the proposed
settlement. Prior to reaching the agreement in principle described above,
plaintiffs' counsel reviewed the internal financial forecasts for Lockheed
through 1998 prepared by management of Lockheed and reviewed by Lockheed's Board
in connection with its consideration of the Combination. See "-- Recommendation
of Lockheed Board; Lockheed's Reasons for the Combination". If the proposed
settlement described above is not consummated, Lockheed, the Lockheed directors,
Martin Marietta and the Martin Marietta directors intend to contest the claims
asserted against them in these lawsuits.
STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING
Lockheed Martin expects to apply for the listing of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock on the NYSE, and it is anticipated that such shares will trade on the NYSE
upon official notice of issuance, under the symbol LMT. It is a condition to the
Combination that the shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock issuable in the
Combination be approved for listing on the NYSE upon official notice of
issuance.
DELISTING AND DEREGISTRATION OF LOCKHEED COMMON STOCK AND MARTIN MARIETTA COMMON
STOCK; CESSATION OF PERIODIC REPORTING
If the Combination is consummated, Lockheed Common Stock and Martin
Marietta Common Stock will cease to be listed on the NYSE and the other
exchanges on which such securities are listed. In such event, Lockheed Martin
intends to apply to the Commission for the deregistration of such securities. In
addition,
45
56
Lockheed Martin may guarantee Lockheed's or Martin Marietta's publicly held debt
(or a portion of such debt). In such event, Lockheed or Martin Marietta, as the
case may be, intends to seek to obtain a no-action letter from the Commission
permitting it to cease filing periodic reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.
FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS CONSEQUENCES
All shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock received by Lockheed and Martin
Marietta stockholders in the Combination will be freely transferable, except
that shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock received by persons who are deemed
to be "affiliates" (as such term is defined under the Act) of Lockheed or Martin
Marietta prior to the Combination may be resold by them only in transactions
permitted by the resale provisions of Rule 145 promulgated under the Act (or
Rule 144 in the case of such persons who become affiliates of Lockheed Martin)
or as otherwise permitted under the Act. Persons who may be deemed to be
affiliates of Lockheed, Martin Marietta or Lockheed Martin generally include
individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
control with, such party and may include certain officers and directors of such
party as well as principal stockholders of such party. The Reorganization
Agreement requires Lockheed and Martin Marietta to use reasonable efforts to
cause each of their affiliates to execute a written agreement to the effect that
such persons will not offer or sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock or Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, as the
case may be, issued to such persons in or pursuant to the Combination in
violation of the Act or the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission
thereunder.
APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Holders of Lockheed Common Stock are not entitled to dissenters' or
appraisal rights in connection with the Pacific Sub Merger because the Lockheed
Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and the shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock that such holders will be entitled to receive in
the Pacific Sub Merger will also be listed on a national securities exchange.
Holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock are not entitled to dissenters' or
appraisal rights in connection with the Atlantic Sub Merger because the Martin
Marietta Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange.
GE, as the holder of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock, is entitled
to exercise appraisal rights under Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL. However, the
management of GE has agreed to recommend to its Board of Directors that such
shares be voted in favor of the Combination Proposal and not to assert any
dissenters' or appraisal rights under the MGCL in connection with the
transactions set forth in the Reorganization Agreement. See "OWNERSHIP OF
LOCKHEED, MARTIN MARIETTA AND LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Martin Marietta."
THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT
GENERAL
The Reorganization Agreement provides for the merger of Atlantic Sub and
Pacific Sub with and into Martin Marietta and Lockheed, respectively. As a
result of the Combination, Martin Marietta and Lockheed will become wholly owned
subsidiaries of Lockheed Martin. In the Combination, stockholders of Martin
Marietta and Lockheed will receive the consideration described below. The
Combination will be accomplished pursuant to the Mergers. The Mergers will
become effective in accordance with Articles of Merger to be filed with the
Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland in the case of
the Atlantic Sub Merger, and a Certificate of Merger to be filed with the
Secretary of State of Delaware in the case of the Pacific Sub Merger. Such
filings are anticipated to take place as soon as practicable after the last of
the conditions precedent to the Combination set forth in the Reorganization
Agreement have been satisfied or, where permissible, waived, which is expected
to occur shortly after the Special Meetings. The following description of the
Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete text of the Reorganization Agreement, which is incorporated by
reference herein and a copy of which is annexed to this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus as Appendix I.
46
57
CONSIDERATION TO BE RECEIVED IN THE COMBINATION
Atlantic Sub Merger. Upon consummation of the Atlantic Sub Merger, pursuant
to the Reorganization Agreement and the Atlantic Merger Agreement, (i) each
outstanding share of Martin Marietta Common Stock will be converted into the
right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, (ii) each
outstanding share of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock will be converted
into the right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
and (iii) each outstanding share of Martin Marietta Common Stock owned by
Lockheed or any subsidiary of Lockheed will be cancelled and cease to exist. For
a description of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, see "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED
MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK -- Common Stock." For a description of the designations,
preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, see "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN
CAPITAL STOCK -- Series A Preferred Stock."
Pacific Sub Merger. Upon consummation of the Pacific Sub Merger, pursuant
to the Reorganization Agreement and the Pacific Merger Agreement, (i) each
outstanding share of Lockheed Common Stock will be converted into the right to
receive 1.63 shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock and (ii) each outstanding
share of Lockheed Common Stock owned by Martin Marietta or any subsidiary of
Martin Marietta or held by Lockheed in its treasury will be cancelled and cease
to exist. Fractional shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock will not be issued
in the Pacific Sub Merger. Holders of Lockheed Common Stock otherwise entitled
to a fractional share will be paid an amount in cash equal to such fractional
part of a share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock multiplied by the closing price
of a share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock on the NYSE on the last business day
preceding the Merger Date if such stock is then being traded, including without
limitation trading on a "when issued" basis, and otherwise the closing price on
the first business day that such stock is traded. For a description of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock, see "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK -- Common
Stock."
For a description of the treatment of Lockheed and Martin Marietta stock
options and other employee benefit plans under the Reorganization Agreement, see
"-- Certain Benefits Matters" and "THE COMBINATION -- Interests of Certain
Persons in the Combination."
Exchange of Shares. Promptly after the Merger Date, transmittal forms will
be mailed to each holder of record of shares of Lockheed Common Stock, Martin
Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock to be used in
forwarding certificates evidencing such shares for surrender and exchange for
certificates evidencing the shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock or Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to which such holder has
become entitled and, if applicable, cash in lieu of a fractional share of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock. After receipt of such transmittal form, each
holder of certificates formerly representing Lockheed Common Stock, Martin
Marietta Common Stock or Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock should
surrender such certificates, together with a duly completed transmittal form, to
First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as exchange agent (the "Exchange
Agent"), and each such holder will receive in exchange therefor certificates
evidencing the whole number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock or
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to which he or she
is entitled and any cash which may be payable in lieu of a fractional share.
Such transmittal forms will be accompanied by instructions specifying other
details of the exchange.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND IN THEIR CERTIFICATES UNTIL THEY RECEIVE A
TRANSMITTAL FORM.
After the Merger Date, each certificate evidencing Martin Marietta Common
Stock or Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock (other than certificates
evidencing shares owned by Lockheed or its subsidiaries (which will be
cancelled)), or Lockheed Common Stock (other than certificates evidencing shares
owned by Martin Marietta or its subsidiaries or shares held by Lockheed in its
treasury (which will be cancelled)), until so surrendered and exchanged, will be
deemed, for all purposes, to evidence only the right to receive the number of
shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock or Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock, as the case may be, which the holder of such certificate is entitled to
receive and the right to receive any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share
of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. The holder of such unexchanged certificate will
not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions payable by
Lockheed Martin until the certificate is surrendered. Subject to applicable laws
such dividends and distributions, if any, will be
47
58
accumulated and, at the time of such surrender, all such unpaid dividends and
distributions, together with any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share,
will be paid, without interest.
LOCKHEED MARTIN FOLLOWING THE COMBINATION
The Reorganization Agreement provides that the Board of Directors of
Lockheed Martin (the "Lockheed Martin Board") will have 24 members, twelve of
whom will initially be designated by Martin Marietta and twelve of whom will
initially be designated by Lockheed. Membership on the major committees of the
Lockheed Martin Board will initially consist of an equal number of designees of
Martin Marietta and Lockheed. See "MANAGEMENT OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Directors"
and "-- Committees of the Board of Directors." In addition, the Reorganization
Agreement states that it is the intention of the parties thereto that the
initial quarterly dividend with respect to Lockheed Martin Common Stock will be
at the annual rate of $1.40 per share, subject to approval and declaration by
the Lockheed Martin Board. (See "THE COMBINATION -- Certain Litigation" for a
description of a proposed litigation settlement that would, if consummated,
result in an increase in the rate of such dividend for three quarters following
consummation of the Combination.)
CONDITIONS TO THE COMBINATION

Marietta Required Statutory Approvals or other Lockheed Required Statutory
Approvals would not have a material adverse affect on the transactions
contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement or on the business, results of
operations or financial condition of Martin Marietta and its subsidiaries taken
as a whole or Lockheed and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, as the case may
be; (f) each of Martin Marietta and Lockheed shall have received a letter from
its independent auditors, dated the Merger Date, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to it, stating that they concur with the conclusions of

paid in lieu of fractional shares).
The obligation of Martin Marietta to effect the Atlantic Sub Merger is
further subject to all the following conditions: (a) the representations and

required by the Reorganization Agreement to be performed or complied with by it
prior to the Merger Date; and (c) Martin Marietta shall have delivered to
Lockheed a certificate, dated the Merger Date and signed by its Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer or its President and Chief Operating Officer,
to both such effects.
All the conditions to the Combination must either be satisfied or waived
prior to consummation of the Combination.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Reorganization Agreement contains certain representations and
warranties of the parties including, without limitation, representations by each

stock, corporate authority to enter into the transactions, recent reports and
financial statements, absence of undisclosed liabilities and violations of law,
compliance with environmental laws and regulations, absence of undisclosed
employee benefit plan liabilities, absence of certain changes or events and
undisclosed investigations or litigation, the accuracy of this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, accounting matters, rights agreements, ownership of each
other's common stock and tax matters.
CERTAIN COVENANTS
The Reorganization Agreement requires that, until the Merger Date (or until
the Reorganization Agreement is terminated, if it is terminated prior to the
Merger Date) Martin Marietta and Lockheed will conduct their respective
operations in accordance with their ordinary and usual course of business,
subject to various exceptions. The Reorganization Agreement also contains other
covenants which, subject to various exceptions, obligate Lockheed and Martin
Marietta to use their reasonable efforts to maintain their relationships with
customers; to notify each other of changes in the normal course of their
businesses; not to declare dividends (other than their regular quarterly cash
dividends); not to enter into or modify employment agreements or benefit plans;
not to engage in any other transactions involving any form of business
combination or sale of a material amount of assets; and to take or refrain from
taking other specified actions.
The Reorganization Agreement contains certain other covenants including
covenants relating to public announcements, access to personnel and data,
cooperation regarding certain filings with governmental and other agencies and
organizations, obtaining auditors' comfort letters and affiliate agreements, and
future reports and financial statements.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, each of the parties thereto has
agreed to use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action
and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable law and regulation to consummate and make effective the Combination
in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the related
merger agreements. Martin Marietta and Lockheed are not required, however, to
agree to the divestiture of any of its or the other party's material assets in
order to obtain any governmental approval.
NO SOLICITATION OF TRANSACTIONS
The Reorganization Agreement provides that neither Martin Marietta nor
Lockheed nor any of their respective officers, directors or agents will directly
or indirectly, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions or negotiations with,
or engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any nonpublic
information to, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group
concerning any merger, sale of substantial assets, sale of shares of capital
stock or similar transactions involving Martin Marietta or Lockheed or any of
their respective subsidiaries or divisions, unless its Board of Directors, upon
written advice of counsel, has
49
60
determined that it is in the best interests of such company's stockholders to do
so. In the event Martin Marietta or Lockheed receives any proposal concerning
any such transaction, such party shall promptly advise the other as to any such
proposal and as to any discussions conducted in connection therewith.
CERTAIN BENEFITS MATTERS
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, simultaneously with the Atlantic
Sub Merger, (i) each outstanding option to purchase or acquire a share of Martin
Marietta Common Stock under option plans presently maintained by Martin Marietta
("Martin Marietta Option Plans") will be converted into an option to purchase
that number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock which could have been
obtained upon the exercise of such option at the same exercise price, and all
references in each such option to Martin Marietta shall be deemed to refer to
Lockheed Martin, where appropriate, (ii) each outstanding stock appreciation
right under the Martin Marietta Option Plans ("Martin Marietta SAR") to receive
a cash payment based on the Martin Marietta Common Stock will be converted into
a stock appreciation right to receive a cash payment based on the same number of
shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock and at the same base price as applied to
the Martin Marietta SAR, and all references in each Martin Marietta SAR to
Martin Marietta shall be deemed to refer to Lockheed Martin, where appropriate,
(iii) Lockheed Martin will assume the obligations of Martin Marietta under the
Martin Marietta Option Plans and (iv) each outstanding award made pursuant to
Martin Marietta's Amended and Restated Long Term Performance Incentive
Compensation Plan and its predecessor plans will be amended or converted into a
similar instrument of Lockheed Martin, in either case with such adjustments to
the terms of such awards, including but not limited to, the formula setting
forth the redemption value of such awards, as are appropriate to preserve the
value inherent in such awards with no detrimental effects on the holders thereof
without their consent. Subject to approval of the Omnibus Plan Proposal, no
additional options or awards will be granted pursuant to the Martin Marietta
Option Plan after the Atlantic Sub Merger. See "THE COMBINATION -- Interests of
Certain Persons in the Combination -- Martin Marietta."
In addition, simultaneously with the Pacific Sub Merger, (i) each
outstanding option (and related stock appreciation right ("Lockheed SAR"), if
any) to purchase or acquire a share of Lockheed Common Stock under option plans
presently maintained by Lockheed ("Lockheed Option Plans") will be converted
into an option (together with a related stock appreciation right of Lockheed
Martin, if applicable), to purchase 1.63 times the number of shares of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock which could have been obtained upon the exercise of each
such option, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price for each
such share of Lockheed Common Stock subject to an option (and related Lockheed
SAR, if any) under the Lockheed Option Plans divided by 1.63, and all references
in each such option (and related Lockheed SAR, if any) to Lockheed shall be
deemed to refer to Lockheed Martin, where appropriate and (ii) Lockheed Martin
will assume the obligations of Lockheed under the Lockheed Option Plans. Subject
to approval of the Omnibus Plan Proposal, no additional options or awards will
be granted pursuant to the Lockheed Option Plans after the Pacific Sub Merger.
See "THE COMBINATION -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Combination --
Lockheed."

Plan Proposal, Lockheed Martin will adopt the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan for
the purpose of granting stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation
rights or other stock based incentive awards to such employees of Lockheed
Martin, Martin Marietta and Lockheed, and their respective subsidiaries in such
amounts and upon such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee of the
Lockheed Martin Board, shall, in its sole discretion, determine (subject to the
provisions of the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan). See "LOCKHEED MARTIN 1995
OMNIBUS PERFORMANCE AWARD PLAN."
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
The Reorganization Agreement provides that, for a period of six years after
the Merger Date, Lockheed Martin will cause to be maintained in effect (a) the
current provisions regarding indemnification of officers and directors contained

substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts
containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less
advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events
which occurred on or before the Merger Date.
TERMINATION
The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time
prior to the Merger Date, whether before or after approval by the respective
stockholders of Martin Marietta and Lockheed: (a) by the mutual written consent
of Martin Marietta and Lockheed; (b) by Martin Marietta or Lockheed if the
Merger Date shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 1995; (c) by Martin
Marietta or Lockheed if any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States
or other United States governmental body shall have issued an order, decree or

any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the
Reorganization Agreement and such breach shall not have been cured within 30
days after notice thereof shall have been received by the party alleged to be in
breach; or (g) by Martin Marietta or Lockheed if, other than as a result of a
breach by it, it reasonably concludes that any of the conditions to its
obligations under the Reorganization Agreement described in clauses (b) through
(g) in the first paragraph under "-- Conditions to the Combination" shall have
become impossible of fulfillment. In the event of termination of the
Reorganization Agreement as described in this paragraph, the Reorganization
Agreement will terminate (except for certain provisions relating to the return
of documents, termination fee and expenses), and there will be no other
liability on the part of Martin Marietta or Lockheed to the other except
liability arising under the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement and arising
out of a willful breach of the Reorganization Agreement.
In the event of a termination by Martin Marietta as described in clause
(d)(i) of the preceding paragraph following receipt by Lockheed of an
Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), or as described in clause (d)(ii) of
the preceding paragraph, or a termination by Lockheed as described in clause
(e)(i) of the preceding paragraph following receipt by Martin Marietta of an
Acquisition Proposal, or as described in clause (e)(ii) of the preceding
paragraph, the terminating party will be paid a fee of $50 million by the other
party within two business days of such termination. For purposes of the
Reorganization Agreement, the term "Acquisition Proposal" means any bona fide
proposal made by a third party to (i) acquire beneficial ownership (as defined
under Rule 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of a majority equity interest in either
Martin Marietta or Lockheed pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other
business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer or exchange
offer or similar transaction, including, without limitation, any single or
multi-step transaction or series of related transactions which is structured to
permit such third party to acquire beneficial ownership of a majority or greater
equity interest in Martin Marietta or Lockheed, (ii) purchase all or
substantially all of the business or assets of Martin Marietta or Lockheed or
(iii) otherwise effect a business combination involving Martin Marietta or
Lockheed.
Pursuant to the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement, until March 29,
1997, the parties have agreed that neither Lockheed nor Martin Marietta nor any
of their respective controlled subsidiaries will, unless specifically invited by
the other party, (i) acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or
indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, any voting securities, or direct or
indirect rights to acquire any voting securities, of the other party, or any
assets of the other party or any subsidiary or division thereof or of any such
successor or controlling person; (ii) make, or in any way participate in,
directly or indirectly, any "solicitation" of "proxies"
51
62
(as such terms are used in the rules of the Commission) to vote, or seek to
advise or influence any person or entity with respect to the voting of, any
voting securities of the other party; (iii) make any public announcement with
respect to, or submit a proposal for, or offer of (with or without conditions)
any extraordinary transactions involving the other party or its securities or
assets; or (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a "group" (as defined in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in connection with any of the foregoing.
The parties also agreed that until March 29, 1997, neither will publicly request
the other (its officers, directors, employees and agents) or publicly disclose
any request, directly or indirectly, to waive any of the provisions described in
this paragraph.
EXPENSES
The Reorganization Agreement states that in the event Martin Marietta or
Lockheed fails to recommend the transaction contemplated thereby to its
stockholders, or withdraws any such recommendation previously made and the
Combination is not consummated, such party will (unless a fee has become payable
as described in the second paragraph under "-- Termination" or unless such
failure to recommend or such withdrawal was a result of a breach of the
Reorganization Agreement by the other party) at the time of termination of the
Reorganization Agreement pay to the other party an amount equal to such other
party's actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction,
provided that such reimbursement shall not exceed $15 million.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, except as described in the
preceding paragraph, whether or not the Combination is consummated, all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
will be paid by the party incurring such expenses, except that the expenses
incurred in connection with printing this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and
any expenses incurred by Lockheed Martin relating to the issuance, registration
and listing of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock and the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock and the qualification thereof under state blue sky or securities
laws, will be paid in equal shares by Martin Marietta and Lockheed.
BUSINESS OF LOCKHEED
Lockheed's primary businesses involve research, development and production
of aerospace products, systems and services. During 1993, approximately 77% of
sales were to the United States government (approximately 64% in defense
programs and approximately 13% in nondefense programs). During 1993, sales to
foreign governments accounted for approximately 13% of revenues and sales to
commercial customers accounted for approximately 10% of revenues. Sales made to
foreign governments through the United States government are included in sales
to foreign governments.
Lockheed's operating companies are aligned into four segments: Aeronautical
Systems, Missiles and Space Systems, Electronic Systems and Technology Services.
The Aeronautical Systems segment comprises design and production of
fighter/bomber aircraft, special mission and high performance aircraft, and
systems for military operations, for airlift, for antisubmarine warfare, and for
reconnaissance and surveillance; and aircraft modification and maintenance for
military and civilian customers. Lockheed is the prime contractor on the F-16
"Fighting Falcon" fighter aircraft, the F-22 air superiority fighter program and
the C-130 airlift aircrafts. Lockheed is also involved in upgrading aircraft,
including the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft and the F-117 fighter bomber.
The Missiles and Space Systems segment comprises military and civil space
systems, research laboratories, strategic fleet ballistic missiles, tactical
defense missiles and communications systems. Lockheed is the prime contractor on
the Trident II, a submarine launched, strategic deterrent, fleet ballistic
missile, the Milstar communications satellite and the Theater High Altitude Area
Defense (THAAD) program which is intended to be a system capable of intercepting
theater ballistic missiles at high altitudes and long ranges. Lockheed also is a
principal subcontractor on the space station, has contracted to build spacecraft
for Motorola's Iridium TM/SM global communication system and has created a
partnership with two of the Russian Federation's major aerospace firms with
worldwide rights to Russia's Proton rocket, and offers Lockheed Launch Vehicle
services.
52
63
The Electronic Systems segment participates in both defense and commercial
markets. For defense markets, Lockheed develops and manufactures radio
frequency, infrared, and electro-optic countermeasures systems; mission planning
systems; surveillance systems; automated test equipment; antisubmarine warfare
systems; microwave systems; and avionics. Lockheed also manufactures computer
graphics equipment and other electronic products and distributes computer
equipment and workstations for commercial markets worldwide.
The Technology Services segment comprises space shuttle processing,
engineering sciences and support, management of the Idaho National Engineering
Laboratory for the Department of Energy, other environmental services, military
equipment maintenance and support services, airport facilities development and
management, data processing and transaction services.
Additional information concerning Lockheed is included in the Lockheed
Reports incorporated by reference in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. See
"INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE" and "AVAILABLE INFORMATION."

management, software development, computer-based simulations and training
products, computer-based test control, machinery control, and automatic
logistics systems to civil, military and commercial customers. The Services
Group provides management, engineering, logistics, systems software and
processing support, and other technical services to military, civil government
and international customers as well as to other organizations within Martin
Marietta. The Materials Group (Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.) provides
construction aggregates and specialty chemical products to commercial and civil
customers. The Energy Group's primary function is managing the Department of
Energy's facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Additional information concerning Martin Marietta is included in the Martin
Marietta Reports incorporated by reference in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. See "INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE" and
"AVAILABLE INFORMATION."
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
1994 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Lockheed has reported that sales for 1994 totaled $13.1 billion, unchanged
from 1993. Net earnings for 1994 increased 5%, totalling $445 million, or $7.00
per share, compared with 1993 net earnings of $422 million or $6.70 per share.
Included in Lockheed's 1994 results is a $24.8 million charge related to the
Lockheed plea agreement discussed below under "-- Lockheed Plea Agreement."
Martin Marietta has reported that sales for 1994 totaled $9.87 billion,
representing a 4.6% increase over 1993 sales of $9.44 billion. Net earnings in
1994 increased by 41%, totaling $635.6 million, compared with 1993 earnings of
$450.3 million, before accounting changes. Fully diluted earnings per share were
$5.05 in 1994, a 33% increase over 1993's comparable earnings per share, before
accounting changes, of $3.80.
53
64
Included in the 1994 Martin Marietta results is an after-tax gain of $70.2
million, or $0.56 per share, resulting from the initial public offering by
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. of 19% of its common stock in February 1994. In
1993, Martin Marietta recognized $429.4 million in non-cash, after-tax charges
associated with changes in accounting for post-retirement and other
post-employment benefits.
LOCKHEED PLEA AGREEMENT
On June 22, 1994, an indictment was returned by a federal grand jury
sitting in Atlanta, Georgia, against Lockheed and two of its employees. The
indictment charged that Lockheed and the two employees, one of whom was a
regional vice president of one of Lockheed's subsidiaries and the other a
divisional director of sales for the Middle East and North Africa, violated the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), conspired to violate the FCPA,
conspired to commit wire fraud, and impaired and impeded agencies of the United
States Department of Defense. The indictment related to allegations that
Lockheed retained a sales and marketing consultant in Egypt who was a member of
the Egyptian Parliament, and that the consultant received retainer payments and
a $1 million contract termination payment in connection with the sale by
Lockheed of three C-130 Hercules Aircraft, in violation of the FCPA.
By letter dated August 18, 1994, the Acting Assistant Secretary, Department
of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs ("State Department") advised
Lockheed that it would be the State Department's policy prospectively to deny
defense-related export privileges to Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company
("LASC"), a division of Lockheed. The State Department, referring to Sections
38, 39 and 42 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. Sections 2778, 2779 and
2791), announced that its action arose from the June 22, 1994, indictment
discussed above. The State Department announced that its action is confined to
LASC and does not affect any other division or subsidiary of Lockheed, although
it is possible that the State Department could expand its action in the future
to cover Lockheed or other divisions of Lockheed or Lockheed Martin or any of
its divisions. Moreover, the State Department announced that the action does not
apply to any approvals granted to LASC's programs before June 22, 1994, but
rather to future export license applications. Lockheed may seek exceptions to
the announced policy on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the State
Department, Office of Defense Controls, which must consider United States
foreign policy and national security interests, as well as law enforcement
concerns. There is no stated time frame within which the State Department must
review an exception request. As of the date of this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, Lockheed has submitted written exception requests on
several major aircraft programs. The State Department has granted these requests
in a timely manner consistent with Lockheed's business plans, with no request
pending for more than ninety days. There can be no assurances as to how long the
State Department will take to review any future exception requests or whether
any other exceptions will be granted.
On January 27, 1995, Lockheed and the United States of America entered into
a plea agreement pursuant to which Lockheed agreed to plead guilty to one count
of conspiring to violate the bribery provisions of the FCPA and conspiring to
falsify its books, records and accounts. All other counts of the indictment
referred to above were dismissed. To the knowledge of Lockheed, no directors or
executive officers of Lockheed have been or will be indicted in connection with
this matter. Lockheed agreed to pay the U.S. Government $24.8 million,
consisting of a fine of $21.8 million and a civil settlement of $3 million. The
United States Attorney's Office stated that Lockheed fully cooperated in its
efforts to gather documents and in making witnesses available during the course
of the investigation. The plea agreement does not preclude the possibility that
the Department of Defense, the State Department, or the Commission may take
further action against Lockheed or Lockheed Martin or any of their divisions as
a result of Lockheed's guilty plea, which could include the possibility of
suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Lockheed is
cooperating with these regulatory agencies to satisfy their concerns.
BUSINESS OF LOCKHEED MARTIN
Lockheed Martin, a newly formed Maryland corporation, has not conducted any
business activities to date, other than those incident to its formation, its
execution of the Reorganization Agreement and related agreements and its
participation in the preparation of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Immediately following the consummation of the Combination, Lockheed Martin will
become a holding company for Lockheed and Martin Marietta and their respective
subsidiaries. Accordingly, the businesses of Lockheed
54
65
Martin, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Lockheed and Martin Marietta and
their respective subsidiaries, will be the businesses currently conducted by
Lockheed and Martin Marietta and their respective subsidiaries.
The managements of Lockheed and Martin Marietta currently anticipate that
the businesses of Lockheed Martin will be organized into four major operating
sectors: Aeronautics; Electronics; Information and Technology Services; and
Space and Strategic Missiles. Other units will include Energy Systems, the
Sandia Corporation, Idaho Technologies and Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. It is
expected that initially approximately 40% of Lockheed Martin's sales will be in
civil, commercial and international markets. Following consummation of the
Combination, the management of Lockheed Martin will from time to time evaluate
its businesses and operations and take such actions with respect thereto as it
deems appropriate under then existing circumstances. See "BUSINESS OF LOCKHEED"
and "BUSINESS OF MARTIN MARIETTA."
The managements of Lockheed and Martin Marietta believe that combining the
businesses of the two companies will present important consolidation and synergy
opportunities. It is expected that these opportunities will be derived from
consolidations in central areas such as headquarters, internal information
systems, capital expenditures, procurement, laboratories, travel,
telecommunications, bid proposals and financial services, as well as from
potential consolidation of facilities in the Space and Strategic Missiles,
Electronics, Aeronautics and Information and Technologies Services Sectors.
Savings from these opportunities, a portion of which will accrue to the benefit
of the U.S. Government, are expected to begin to be realized in 1995, with a
phase-in to full benefits over a several-year transition period, although no
assurances can be given that these savings will actually be realized or, if
realized, will occur during the next several years.
The managements of Martin Marietta and Lockheed believe that Lockheed
Martin will have adequate capital resources to operate, compete and grow in an
increasingly challenging and competitive marketplace. As noted above, it is
anticipated that the Combination will present opportunities for Lockheed Martin
to improve operating efficiency, rationalize expenditures and reduce costs, thus
increasing the competitiveness and business prospects of the combined companies
as compared with either company alone. Additionally, the Combination is expected
to result in a more balanced risk profile for Lockheed Martin, financially and
competitively, than either Lockheed or Martin Marietta alone by reducing
dependence on any single program. Finally, the Combination, which will be
accomplished without additional borrowings, is expected to be accomplished on a
tax-free basis and to be accounted for as a pooling of interests transaction
thus avoiding the impact on net income which would, under purchase accounting,
result from the creation and amortization of goodwill. As a consequence of the
foregoing, it is anticipated that the long term effects of the Combination on
the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of Lockheed and
Martin Marietta will be positive, but a charge against the earnings of Lockheed
Martin will be required for the transition costs and expenses expected to be
incurred in connection with consummating the Combination and integrating the
operations of Lockheed and Martin Marietta (see Note 3 under "NOTES TO UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS").
After the consummation of the Combination, Lockheed Martin will require
that sources of credit be available to support the anticipated operations of
Lockheed Martin. It is anticipated that Lockheed Martin will enter into an
agreement or agreements with a syndicate of banks providing for revolving loan
facilities in the amount of $1.5 billion (the "Credit Facilities") to be
effective on the Merger Date. The Credit Facilities are expected to be on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the existing bank credit
facilities of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, with such changes as may be deemed
necessary or desirable by Lockheed Martin and the banks that are parties
thereto. The existing $1 billion credit facility of Lockheed and the existing
$800 million credit facility of Martin Marietta will be terminated effective
immediately prior to the Merger Date.

* Martin Marietta Common Stock prices and dividends have been adjusted for
2-for-1 stock split (in the form of a stock dividend) effective September 30,
1993.
On August 29, 1994, the last full trading day prior to the public
announcement of the proposed Combination, the closing price on the NYSE
Composite Tape was $66 per share of Lockheed Common Stock and $48 1/4 per share
of Martin Marietta Common Stock and the Pro Forma Equivalent Price (as defined
below) was $72 1/8 per share for Lockheed Common Stock and $44 1/4 per share for
Martin Marietta Common Stock. On February 8, 1995, the most recent practicable
date prior to the printing of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the closing
price on the NYSE Composite Tape was $74 1/8 per share of Lockheed Common Stock
and $45 3/4 per share of Martin Marietta Common Stock and the Pro Forma
Equivalent Price was $74 3/8 per share for Lockheed Common Stock and $45 5/8 per
share for Martin Marietta Common Stock. Pro Forma Equivalent Prices were
determined by (i) multiplying the market prices of Lockheed Common Stock and
Martin Marietta Common Stock on such date by the respective number of shares of
such common stock then outstanding, (ii) dividing the aggregate market value of
the Lockheed Common Stock and Martin Marietta Common Stock so determined by the
number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock to be issued in connection with
the Combination and (iii) multiplying the pro forma market price per share of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock by 1.63 for Lockheed and 1.0 for Martin Marietta.
Holders of Lockheed Common Stock and Martin Marietta Common Stock are urged to
obtain current market quotations prior to making any decision with respect to
the Combination.

* Reflects reclassifications to conform combined condensed balance sheet
presentation. Martin Marietta's adjustments were attributable to noncurrent
receivables, inventories, customers' advances, and reserves being reclassified
as current assets and current liabilities, consistent with Lockheed's policy
of current classification of similar items for long-term contracts and
programs whose operating cycles extend beyond one year. Additional
reclassifications were made by both Lockheed and Martin Marietta to
consistently report pension amounts, payroll related liabilities, overdrafts
and environmental items. Income tax balances were also reclassified to be
consistent with the related asset and liability classifications.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of
earnings presents the historical results of operations of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta giving effect to the Combination as if it had occurred at the beginning
of the earliest period presented, combining the results of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta for each of the three fiscal years in the fiscal period ended December
1993 and for the fiscal nine month periods ended September 1994 and 1993. The
unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet gives effect to the
Combination as if it had occurred on the fiscal month end of September 1994,
combining the balance sheets of Lockheed and Martin Marietta at the fiscal month
end of September 1994.
2. EXCHANGE RATIO
As described in the Reorganization Agreement, the exchange ratios are: (i)
each outstanding share of Lockheed Common Stock will be converted into the right
to receive 1.63 shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock; (ii) each outstanding
share of Martin Marietta Common Stock will be converted into the right to
receive one share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock; and (iii) each outstanding
share of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into the
right to receive one share of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock. These
exchange ratios were used in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements. See "THE REORGANIZATION
AGREEMENT -- Consideration to be Received in the Combination."
3. TRANSITION COSTS AND EXPENSES
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements do not include any transition costs and expenses which are expected
to be incurred in connection with consummating the Combination and integrating
the operations of Lockheed and Martin Marietta. It is not feasible to determine
the actual amount of these costs and expenses until the Combination is completed
and the related operational and transitional plans are complete. The managements
of Lockheed and Martin Marietta currently estimate that these costs and expenses
could total approximately $850 million. These costs and expenses relate directly
to completing the transactions, such as professional and registration fees;
employee benefit-related costs such as severance, relocation and retention
incentives; facility consolidations; and satisfaction of contractual
obligations; most of which will be incurred to eliminate duplicate facilities
and excess capacity in the combined Lockheed Martin operations. It is
anticipated that a significant portion of these costs and expenses will result
in charges to the earnings of Lockheed Martin. The exact timing of these charges
cannot be determined at this time; however, the managements of Lockheed and
Martin Marietta anticipate that plans and decisions will be completed and a
substantial portion of the related charges recorded in 1995. Additionally, while
the pro forma combined condensed statement of earnings does not reflect any net
cost savings or economies of scale that may be achieved by the Combination, the
Combination is expected to result in reduced costs for Lockheed Martin, a
portion of which will accrue to the benefit of the U.S. Government.

cost of sales for the fiscal nine month periods ended September 1994 and
1993, and for the fiscal years ended December 1993, 1992, and 1991. No
adjustments have been made to eliminate the related intercompany profit in
ending inventories and the net intercompany receivables and payables as of
and for the above-referenced fiscal periods as such amounts are not
material.
(b) Adjustments have been made to reflect the 1992 adoption of SFAS 106 and SFAS
112 for the combined entity, to conform Lockheed's method of accounting for
timing differences in cost recognition between Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, and
applicable government contract accounting principles consistent with Martin
Marietta, and to conform Martin Marietta's to Lockheed's classification of
state income tax expenses as an element of general and administrative
costs.
(c) Adjustments have been made to record the tax effect, using the applicable
federal statutory rates for the respective periods, on the net pro forma
adjustments.
(d) Adjustments have been made to reflect the exchange ratios, described in Note
2 above, and the elimination of Treasury Shares in accordance with the
MGCL.

Since both Lockheed Martin and Martin Marietta are organized under the laws
of the State of Maryland, any differences in the rights of holders of Martin
Marietta Common Stock and Lockheed Martin Common Stock will arise solely from
differences in their respective charters and bylaws. The Lockheed Martin Charter
and Lockheed Martin Bylaws are substantially similar to the Martin Marietta
Charter and Martin Marietta Bylaws, respectively, except for certain matters as
described herein.
Authorized Capital. The total number of authorized shares of capital stock
of Martin Marietta is 550,000,000 shares, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of
Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock, 30,000,000 shares of series preferred
stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Martin Marietta Series Preferred Stock"),
and 500,000,000 shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock. The authorized capital
of Lockheed Martin is as set forth under "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL
STOCK -- Authorized Capital Stock."
Directors. The Lockheed Martin Charter provides for 24 directors, which
number may be increased or decreased by the Board of Directors, but which shall
not be less than 12. Pursuant to the Martin Marietta Charter, Martin Marietta
has 17 directors, which number may also be increased or decreased by the Board
of Directors, but not to less than five.
The Lockheed Martin Board will not be divided into separate classes. Each
director will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders after his or
her election. The Martin Marietta Charter establishes three classes of
directors, as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, with each
director elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders after his or her election.
Under the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, the required quorum for any meeting of
the Lockheed Martin Board will generally be a majority of its members. The
Martin Marietta Bylaws provide for a quorum of one-third of the Martin Marietta
Board, but in no case fewer than five directors.
Absence of Rights Plan. Martin Marietta recently adopted a stockholder
rights plan and in connection therewith entered into a Rights Agreement, dated
as of August 29, 1994, with First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as rights
agent (the "Martin Marietta Rights Agreement"). Common stock purchase rights
were distributed to the holders of Martin Marietta Common Stock of record on
September 9, 1994, and rights attach to all shares of Martin Marietta Common
Stock issued thereafter until the earlier of the Distribution Date (as defined
therein), or on the date on which the rights expire or are redeemed. Initially,
the rights trade in tandem with the shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock. The
rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of Martin
Marietta Common Stock or announces a tender offer for 30% or more
65
76
of Martin Marietta Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions specified in the
Martin Marietta Rights Agreement. The rights will expire immediately prior to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization
Agreement; provided, however, that if the Reorganization Agreement is terminated
without consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, then the Martin
Marietta Rights Agreement and the rights will expire at or prior to the close of
business on September 9, 2004. Lockheed Martin has not adopted a rights plan at
this time but may decide to do so in the future.
COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO LOCKHEED MARTIN AND LOCKHEED
Lockheed Martin is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and
Lockheed is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The following
discussion summarizes certain differences between the Lockheed Martin Charter
and Bylaws and the Lockheed Charter and Bylaws and between certain provisions of
the MGCL and the DGCL affecting stockholders' rights.
Authorized Capital. The total number of authorized shares of capital stock
of Lockheed is 102,500,000, consisting of 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock,
$1.00 par value per share (including 1,000,000 shares of Lockheed Junior
Preferred Stock), and 100,000,000 shares of Lockheed Common Stock. The
authorized capital of Lockheed Martin is as set forth under "DESCRIPTION OF
LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK -- Authorized Capital Stock."
Directors. The Lockheed Bylaws provide for a minimum of three directors
(except in connection with rights to elect directors granted to holders of any
class or series of Lockheed preferred stock), with the exact number of directors
to be fixed from time to time by the Lockheed Board. There are currently 14
directors serving on the Lockheed Board. The Lockheed Martin Charter provides
for 24 directors, which number may be increased or decreased by the Lockheed
Martin Board, but which shall not be less than 12.
The Lockheed Bylaws provide that a plurality of stockholder votes cast will
be sufficient to elect a director. The Lockheed Martin Bylaws require the vote
of stockholders representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast to
elect a director. In addition, under the Lockheed Martin Charter, if any person
beneficially owns shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors ("Voting Stock") representing 40% or more of the votes
entitled to be cast by all stockholders, the Lockheed Martin Board will be
elected by cumulative voting.
Under the Lockheed Bylaws, a majority of any quorum of the Lockheed Board
must consist of directors who are not or have not theretofore ever been
employees of, or who do not have or have not had other business or professional
relations with, Lockheed. The Lockheed Martin Bylaws have no analogous
provision.
Removal of Directors. The Lockheed Charter provides that, except with
respect to additional directors elected under specified circumstances by holders
of any class or series of Lockheed preferred stock, any director may be removed
by a vote of the majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote in
connection with the election of such director, regardless of class, voting
together as a single class. The Lockheed Martin Charter provides that directors
may be removed, only for cause, by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the
votes that the holders of the outstanding shares of capital stock are entitled
to cast at the annual election of directors.
Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors. Under the DGCL, vacancies and
newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the directors then in
office or a sole remaining director (even though less than a quorum) unless
otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. However, the
DGCL also provides that if the directors then in office constitute less than a
majority of the corporation's board of directors, then, upon application by
stockholders representing at least 10% of outstanding shares entitled to vote
for such directors, the Court of Chancery may order a stockholder election of
directors to be held. Under the Lockheed Bylaws, except with respect to
additional directors elected under specified circumstances by holders of any
class or series of Lockheed preferred stock, any vacancies resulting from death,
resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause or an increase in the
number of directors shall be filled solely by a majority vote of the remaining
directors, even if less than a quorum.
Under the Lockheed Martin Charter and the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, a
majority of the remaining directors may appoint a director to fill a vacancy
unless there is an increase in the size of the Lockheed Martin
66
77
Board. Any vacancy resulting from an increase shall be filled only by a majority
vote of the entire Lockheed Martin Board. If the vacancy is caused by removal of
a director by the stockholders, the successor director may be elected by the
stockholders at the same meeting at which such removal occurs. Under the
Lockheed Martin Charter, the provision with respect to election of directors to
fill vacancies may be amended or repealed only by the affirmative vote of at
least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation or Charter. Under the DGCL and
the Lockheed Charter, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote is required to amend the Lockheed Charter. In addition,
amendments which make changes relating to the capital stock by increasing or
decreasing the par value or the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class
or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of such class, must be approved by
the majority vote of each class or series of stock affected, even though
ordinarily they would not have such voting rights.
In accordance with the MGCL, under the Lockheed Martin Charter, except as
described below or in connection with the rights of the holders of any class or
series of Lockheed Martin Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to amend the Lockheed
Martin Charter. The affirmative vote of 80% of the votes that the holders of the
then outstanding shares of capital stock would be entitled to cast at an annual
election of directors is required to amend Sections 3 or 5 of Article V of the
Lockheed Martin Charter relating to removal of directors and the general powers
of the board of directors. Any amendment to Article XIII of the Lockheed Martin
Charter regarding "business combinations" requires the affirmative vote of (a)
80% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock and (b) 67% of the outstanding
shares of Voting Stock excluding shares held by certain beneficial owners of 10%
or more of the outstanding shares of any class or series of Voting Stock (as
defined in the Lockheed Martin Charter, a "Related Person"), unless such
amendment shall have been approved in advance by not less than two-thirds of the
Lockheed Martin "continuing directors" (as defined in such Article XIII). Any
amendment to Article XIV of the Lockheed Martin Charter regarding certain
prohibitions on greenmail requires the affirmative vote of 80% of the votes
entitled to be cast by holders of shares of Voting Stock.
Amendment of Bylaws. Under the DGCL, the Lockheed Bylaws and the Lockheed
Charter, the Lockheed Bylaws may be amended by the action of the Lockheed Board
or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock,
voting as a single class.
Under the MGCL, the power to adopt, amend or repeal a corporation's bylaws
is vested in the corporation's stockholders, except to the extent the
corporation's charter or bylaws vest it in the board of directors. The Lockheed
Martin Bylaws grant the Lockheed Martin Board exclusive power to adopt, amend,
alter or repeal the Lockheed Martin Bylaws.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business. The Lockheed
Bylaws provide that with respect to any stockholder meeting, nominations of
persons for election to the Lockheed Board and the proposal of business to be
considered by stockholders may be made only (a) by or at the direction of the
Lockheed Board or (b) by a stockholder who has complied with the advance notice
procedures set forth in the Lockheed Bylaws.
The Lockheed Martin Bylaws provide that (a) with respect to an annual
meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Lockheed
Martin Board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may
be made only (i) pursuant to Lockheed Martin's notice of the meeting, (ii) by or
at the direction of the Lockheed Martin Board or (iii) by a stockholder who has
complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in the Lockheed Martin
Bylaws and is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (b) with respect to special
meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in Lockheed Martin's
notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting and nominations of persons
for election to the Lockheed Martin Board may be made only pursuant to Lockheed
Martin's notice of the meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Lockheed Martin
Board or (ii) by a stockholder who has complied with the advance notice
procedures set forth in the Lockheed Martin Bylaws and is entitled to vote at
the meeting.
Stockholder Meetings and Provisions for Notices. Under the DGCL and the
MGCL, stockholder meetings may be held at any place within or without the state,
as provided in the bylaws, provided that under
67
78
the MGCL, stockholder meetings must be held in the United States. Under the
Lockheed Bylaws, special stockholder meetings may be called by a majority of the
Lockheed Board or the Chairman or the Vice Chairman of the Lockheed Board. Under
the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, special stockholder meetings may be called by the
Executive Committee of the Lockheed Martin Board, a majority of the Lockheed
Martin Board, the Chairman of the Lockheed Martin Board, the President or by the
Secretary at the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least 25%
of the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Under the MGCL, unless
requested by the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote thereon, a
special meeting of stockholders does not need to be called to consider any
matter that is substantially the same as a matter voted on at a special meeting
held within the preceding 12 months.
Under both the DGCL and the MGCL, written notice of a stockholders meeting
must state the place, date and time of the meeting, and if a special meeting,
the purpose. Under the Lockheed Bylaws, such notice must be delivered personally
or by mail not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. Under
the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, such notice must be delivered personally or mailed
not less than 30 nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting.
In accordance with the DGCL, the Lockheed Bylaws provide that stockholder
proxies are valid for three years from their date unless the proxy provides for
a longer period. The MGCL and the Lockheed Martin Bylaws provide that proxies
are valid for 11 months from their date, unless the proxy otherwise provides.
Voting by Stockholders. Under the Lockheed Bylaws, except with respect to
the election of directors (or as otherwise provided by the Lockheed Charter, the
Lockheed Bylaws, or by applicable law), action by Lockheed stockholders is taken
by the vote, at a meeting at which a quorum is present, of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. However, subject to
applicable law and the Lockheed Charter, the Lockheed Bylaws allow the Lockheed
Board to require a larger vote upon any question or election. Under the Lockheed
Martin Charter, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions
thereof (or as otherwise provided by the Lockheed Martin Charter or by
applicable law), action by Lockheed Martin stockholders generally is taken by
the affirmative vote, at a meeting at which a quorum is present, of stockholders
representing a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter
(including without limitation, certain extraordinary actions, such as mergers,
consolidations and charter amendments, that under the MGCL would, absent
provision in the Lockheed Martin Charter, require the affirmative vote of
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast thereon).
Stockholder Action Without a Meeting. Under the Lockheed Charter,
consistent with the DGCL, no action may be taken by the stockholders except at a
meeting. Under the MGCL, Lockheed Martin stockholders may act by unanimous
written consent provided certain conditions are met.
Absence of Rights Plan. Lockheed entered into the Lockheed Rights Agreement
in 1986. Lockheed Martin has not adopted a rights plan at this time but may
decide to do so in the future.
Business Combinations. Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations"
(including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances,
an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) with
certain "interested stockholders" (as defined for purposes of such provisions)
may be prohibited for a five-year period and thereafter may be subject to, among
other things, certain stockholder approvals. See "DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN
CAPITAL STOCK -- Certain Antitakeover Effects of Lockheed Martin Charter and
Bylaws and Maryland Law -- Business Combinations."
In addition to the MGCL requirements, the Lockheed Martin Charter also
contains a provision requiring that, subject to certain exceptions, any
"business combination" between Lockheed Martin and a Related Person must be
approved by 80% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock and by 67% of the
outstanding shares of Voting Stock not owned by the Related Person. See
"DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK -- Certain Antitakeover Effects of
Lockheed Martin Charter and Bylaws and Maryland Law -- Business Combinations."
Under Section 203 of the DGCL ("Section 203"), certain "business
combinations" with "interested stockholders" (each as defined in Section 203) of
Delaware corporations are subject to a three-year
68
79
moratorium unless specified conditions are met. The provisions of Section 203 do
not apply to Lockheed because Lockheed elected not to be subject to the
provisions of Section 203.
Control Share Acquisitions. Under the MGCL, stock acquired in certain
"control share" acquisitions has no voting rights except to the extent approved
by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by stockholders in the
election of directors, excluding shares of stock as to which the acquiring
person, officers of the corporation and directors of the corporation who are
employees of the corporation are entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of
the voting power of the shares in the election of directors. See "DESCRIPTION OF
LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK -- Certain Antitakeover Effects of Lockheed Martin
Charter and Bylaws and Maryland Law -- Control Share Acquisitions." The DGCL has
no comparable control share acquisition statute.
Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. Delaware and Maryland have
similar laws respecting indemnification by a corporation of its officers,
directors, employees and other agents. The laws of both states also permit, with
certain exceptions, corporations to adopt a provision in their certificate of
incorporation or charter eliminating the liability of a director to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the
director's fiduciary duty of care. There are nonetheless certain differences
between the laws of the two states respecting indemnification and limitation of
liability.
The Lockheed Charter eliminates the liability of directors to the fullest
extent permissible under the DGCL, as such law exists currently or as it may be
amended in the future. Such provision may not eliminate or limit director
monetary liability for (a) breaches of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders; (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law; (c) the payment
of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or (d)
transactions in which the director received an improper personal benefit. The
DGCL provides that indemnification is mandatory to the extent a director,
officer, employee or agent acting in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, there was no
reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, or has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding covered by the
indemnification statute.
The DGCL generally permits (and the Lockheed Charter therefore requires)
indemnification for expenses incurred in the defense or settlement of derivative
or third-party actions, provided there is a determination by a quorum of
directors who were not parties to the action, or if such quorum is not
obtainable or if directed by such quorum by independent legal counsel or by a
majority vote of a quorum of the stockholders, that the person seeking
indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, or in a criminal
proceeding that the person had no reason to believe his or her conduct to be
unlawful. Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in
respect of any derivative action in which such person is adjudged liable. The
DGCL states that the indemnification provided by statute shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Lockheed Martin Charter limits the monetary liability of both officers
and directors to the maximum extent permissible under the MGCL. The exceptions
to such a liability limitation in the charter of a Maryland corporation
generally are to the extent that (a) it is proved that the person received an
improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of
benefit or profit so received, and (b) 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. Under the MGCL, unless
limited by the 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 a criminal proceeding, the director had
reasonable cause to believe his or her
69
80
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 the 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 appropriate jurisdiction.
Under the MGCL, where indemnification is permissible it must be authorized
(a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who are not parties to the proceeding (or if such a quorum cannot be
obtained, the determination may be made by a majority vote of a committee of the
board which consists solely of two or more directors who are not parties to the
proceeding and who were designated to act by a majority of the full board), (b)
by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or by a committee of
the board (or if the requisite quorum of the board cannot be obtained and the
committee cannot be established, a majority of the full board, including
directors who are parties, may select the special counsel), or (c) by a vote of
the stockholders other than those stockholder-directors who are party to the
proceedings.
In Maryland, expenses may be advanced to a director, and to an officer,
employee or agent who is not a director to the same extent that they may be
advanced to a director unless limited by the charter. Advances to officers,
employees and agents may be generally authorized in the corporation's charter or
bylaws, by action of the board of directors or by contract. Delaware law permits
such general authorization of advances to directors and officers but requires
approval by the directors of advances to employees and agents of the
corporation.
Dissenter's or Appraisal Rights. Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a
corporation who does not consent to certain major corporate transactions may,
under varying circumstances, be entitled to dissenter's or appraisal rights
pursuant to which such stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair
market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would
otherwise receive in the transaction. Unless the corporation's certificate of
incorporation provides otherwise, such appraisal rights are not available in
certain circumstances, including without limitation (a) with respect to the
sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of a
corporation, (b) with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation the
shares of which are either listed on a national securities exchange or are held
of record by more than 2,000 holders if such stockholders receive only shares of
the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation which are either
listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000
holders, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, or (c) to stockholders of a
corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the stockholders of the surviving
corporation is required to approve the merger because the merger agreement does
not amend the existing certificate of incorporation, each share of the surviving
corporation outstanding prior to the merger is an identical outstanding or
treasury share after the merger, and the number of shares to be issued in the
merger does not exceed 20% of the shares of the surviving corporation
outstanding immediately prior to the merger and if certain other conditions are
met. Under Delaware law, dissenter's or appraisal rights are not available to
Lockheed stockholders in connection with the Combination.
Under the MGCL, stockholders have the right to demand and to receive
payment of the fair value of their stock in the event of (a) a merger or
consolidation, (b) a share exchange, (c) certain sales of all or substantially
all of the assets, (d) a charter amendment altering contract rights of
outstanding stock, as expressly set forth in the charter, and substantially
adversely affecting the stockholder's rights (unless, as is the case with the
Lockheed Martin Charter, the right to do so is reserved in the charter), or (e)
certain business combinations with interested stockholders which are subject to
or exempted from the MGCL's business combination statute and in connection with
the approval of voting rights of certain stockholders under the MGCL's control
share acquisition statute. Except with respect to certain business combinations
and in connection with appraisal and dissenters' rights existing as a result of
the MGCL's control share acquisition statute, the right to demand and receive
payment of fair value does not apply to (a) stock listed on a national
securities exchange or a national market system security designated on an
interdealer quotation system by the
70
81
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (b) stock of the successor in
a merger (unless the merger alters the contract rights of the stock or converts
the stock in whole or in part into something other than stock, cash, scrip or
other interests) or (c) stock of an open-end investment company registered with
the Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the stock is valued
in the transaction at its net asset value. Except in the case of appraisal and
dissenters' rights existing as a result of the MGCL's control share acquisition
statutes, these rights are available only when the stockholder (a) files with
the corporation a timely, written objection to the transaction and (b) does not
vote in favor of the transaction. In addition, the stockholder must make a
demand on the successor corporation for payment of the stock within 20 days of
the acceptance of articles by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation
of the State of Maryland.
Prohibition on Payment of Greenmail. The Lockheed Bylaws contain a
provision requiring that any purchase by Lockheed or any subsidiary of shares of
any class of equity securities from any beneficial owner of 5% or more of
Lockheed's outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of
directors must first be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of outstanding shares of such stock not owned by such person. The
provision is not effective with respect to the purchase, acquisition, redemption
or exchange of such capital stock provided for under the Lockheed Charter or
made as a part of a tender offer or exchange offer by Lockheed to purchase all
securities of the same class made on the same terms to all holders.
The Lockheed Martin Charter contains a provision requiring that any
purchase by Lockheed Martin of shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors from a beneficial owner for less than two years of 5% or
more of outstanding shares of such stock at a price per share in excess of the
market price for the shares at such time or certain other transactions with such
stockholder, including a merger or consolidation, or the sale or transfer of
more than $10,000,000 of assets or equity securities, must first be approved by
the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of outstanding shares of such
stock not owned by such stockholder. Under the Lockheed Martin Charter, this
provision may be amended or repealed only by the affirmative vote of holders of
at least 80% of the outstanding shares of such stock.
Dissolution. Under the DGCL, unless the board of directors approves the
proposal to dissolve, dissolution of the corporation must be approved by all
stockholders entitled to vote thereon. Only if the dissolution is initiated by
the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the
corporation's stockholders.
Under the DGCL, the Court of Chancery, upon application by any stockholder,
may appoint a custodian or receiver (a) if the stockholders are so divided that
they have failed to elect successors to directors whose terms have expired, (b)
if the business of the corporation is suffering or is threatened with
irreparable injury because of a deadlock of directors, or (c) if the corporation
has abandoned its business but has not liquidated. Upon the order of the Court
of Chancery or in the event of clause (c) above, the corporation may be
liquidated and its assets distributed.
The MGCL provides for the voluntary dissolution of a corporation by a
resolution adopted by a majority of the corporation's board of directors. A vote
of two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter generally is
necessary to approve the dissolution, but, in accordance with the MGCL, the
Lockheed Martin Charter reduces the stockholder vote required to approve a
dissolution to a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
The MGCL also provides that stockholders entitled to cast at least 25% of
all the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors may petition a
court of equity for an involuntary dissolution of the corporation on the ground
that (a) the directors are so divided respecting the management of the
corporation's affairs that the votes required for action by the board cannot be
obtained, or (b) the stockholders are so divided that directors cannot be
elected. Any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors of a
Maryland corporation, however, may petition a court of equity to dissolve the
corporation on the ground that (a) the stockholders are so divided that they
have failed, for a period which includes at least two consecutive annual meeting
dates, to elect successors to directors whose terms would have expired on the
election and qualification of their successors, or (b) the acts of the directors
or those in control of the corporation are illegal, oppressive or fraudulent.
71
82
Dividends. The DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out
of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in
which the dividend is declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year as long as
the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment
of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented
by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the
distribution of assets. In addition, the DGCL generally provides that a
corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only if such redemption or
repurchase would not impair the capital of the corporation or if it repurchases
shares having a preference upon the distribution of any of its assets that it
retires such shares upon acquisition (and provided, that after any reduction in
capital made in connection with such retirement of shares, the corporation's
remaining assets are sufficient to pay any debts not otherwise provided for).
The MGCL permits a corporation to make a distribution, including dividends,
redemptions or stock repurchases, unless prohibited by its charter or if
following such distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts
in the ordinary course as they become due or the corporation's total assets
would be less than the sum of its liabilities and, unless the charter provides
otherwise, senior liquidation preferences. For purposes of determining whether a
distribution is lawful, the corporation's assets may be based upon fair value or
any other method of valuation that is reasonable under the circumstances.
Right to Examine Stockholder List. In compliance with the requirements of
the DGCL, the Lockheed Bylaws provide that stockholders have a right for a
period of ten days prior to any stockholder meeting and during such meeting, to
examine a list of stockholders of Lockheed, arranged in alphabetical order and
showing the address and the number of shares held by such stockholder, for any
purpose germane to such meeting. Further, under the DGCL, any stockholder,
following a written request, has the right to inspect the corporation's books
and records, including the stockholder list, during usual business hours for a
proper purpose.
Under the MGCL, any one or more persons who for at least six months have
been the record holders of at least 5% of any class of stock are entitled to
inspect and copy (among other things) the corporation's stock ledger and if the
corporation does not maintain its stock ledger at its principal place of
business, to request in writing a stockholder list. Following such request, the
corporation has 20 days to produce a stockholder list with names, addresses and
number of shares owned. In addition, under the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, the
Secretary of the corporation must furnish a stockholder list at each meeting.
Interested Director Transactions. Under both the DGCL and the MGCL, certain
contracts or transactions in which one or more of a corporation's directors has
an interest are not void or voidable because of such interest provided that
certain conditions are met. Under the DGCL and the MGCL, any such contract or
transaction may be ratified by the stockholders (as set forth below) or a
majority of disinterested members of the board of directors or a committee
thereof if (a) the material facts are disclosed or known thereto, or (b) the
contract or transaction was fair (and under the MGCL, reasonable) to the
corporation at the time it was approved. Under the DGCL, any ratification of
such a contract or transaction by the stockholders must be made by a majority of
all stockholders in good faith. Under the MGCL, such ratification must be made
by a majority of the disinterested stockholders.
Preemptive Rights. Under the DGCL, stockholders have no preemptive rights
unless such rights are provided for in the certificate of incorporation. Under
the MGCL, subject to several statutory exceptions and the power of the
corporation to deny preemptive rights in its charter, stockholders have
preemptive rights. The Lockheed Martin Charter denies preemptive rights to
holders of any class of stock.
DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK
The summary of the terms of the stock of Lockheed Martin set forth below
does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Lockheed Martin Charter and the Lockheed Martin Bylaws.
Copies of the Lockheed Martin Charter and the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, in
substantially the forms to be adopted prior to the consummation of the
Combination, are attached as
72
83
Exhibits A and B, respectively, to the Reorganization Agreement which is
attached to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix I.
AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK
Under the Lockheed Martin Charter, the total number of shares of all
classes of stock that Lockheed Martin has authority to issue is 820,000,000
shares, of which 750,000,000 are shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock,
20,000,000 are shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, and
50,000,000 are shares of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred Stock.
The additional shares of authorized stock available for issuance by
Lockheed Martin might be issued at such times and under such circumstances as to
have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity ownership of the
holders of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. The ability of the Lockheed Martin
Board to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the Lockheed Martin
Board's ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover
situation and also could be used by the Lockheed Martin Board to make a change
in control more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential to sell
their shares at a premium and entrenching current management.
COMMON STOCK
Subject to any preferential rights of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock or any series of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred Stock, holders
of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends
on such stock out of assets legally available for distribution when, as and if
authorized and declared by the Lockheed Martin Board and to share ratably in the
assets of Lockheed Martin legally available for distribution to its stockholders
in the event of its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Lockheed Martin will
not be able to pay any dividend or make any distribution of assets on shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock until cumulative dividends on shares of the
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock and on any other shares of Lockheed
Martin Series Preferred Stock then outstanding with dividend or distribution
rights senior to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock have been paid. See "THE
REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT -- Lockheed Martin Following Combination" with respect
to the anticipated initial quarterly dividend on the Lockheed Martin Common
Stock.
Holders of Lockheed Martin Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per
share on all matters voted on generally by the stockholders, including the
election of directors, and, except as otherwise required by law or except as
provided with respect to the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock or any
series of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred Stock, the holders of such shares
will possess all voting power. See "-- Series A Preferred Stock -- Voting
Rights." The Lockheed Martin Charter does not provide for cumulative voting for
the election of directors except as described under "-- Certain Antitakeover
Effects of Lockheed Martin Charter and Bylaws and Maryland Law -- Prohibition on
Payment of Greenmail; Cumulative Voting for Directors." Thus, the holders of
more than one-half of the outstanding shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
generally will be able to elect all the directors of Lockheed Martin then
standing for election and holders of the remaining shares will not be able to
elect any director.
The shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, when issued to holders of
outstanding shares of Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Common Stock in
connection with the Combination, or when issued upon conversion of shares of the
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of Lockheed Martin Common Stock will have no preferences,
preemptive, conversion, or exchange rights.
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
The shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, when issued to the
holder of the outstanding shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock in
connection with the Combination, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
73
84
Designation and Amount
The Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will have a par value of $1.00
per share and a liquidation preference of $50 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends. The authorized number of shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock is 20,000,000. The terms of the Lockheed Martin Marietta Series A
Preferred Stock are essentially the same as those of the Martin Marietta Series
A Preferred Stock issued to GE on April 2, 1993.
Rank
With respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, dissolution and
winding up, the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to all
other classes of stock of Lockheed Martin except those classes of preferred
stock expressly designated as ranking on a parity with the Lockheed Martin
Series A Preferred Stock.
Dividends
Preferential cash dividends at the per share rate of $.75 per quarter will
accrue (whether or not declared and whether or not funds are legally available
for payment) from the last quarterly dividend payment date on which dividends
have been paid with respect to the Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock,
will be cumulative and will compound quarterly, to the extent they are unpaid,
at the rate of 6% per annum computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. Holders of shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock are
not entitled to any other dividends.
Redemption
Upon the giving of specified notice, on or after April 2, 1998, Lockheed
Martin, at its option, will be entitled to redeem any or all shares of Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock, at a redemption price of $50 per share, plus an
amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date
of redemption (the "Redemption Price"), but only if the Average Closing Price
(as described below) of Lockheed Martin Common Stock (calculated as of the
record date fixed for notifying holders of such redemption) equals or exceeds
the applicable percentage of the Conversion Price (as described below) set forth
opposite the date that occurs on or that immediately preceded such record date:
PERCENTAGE OF
APRIL 2 CONVERSION PRICE
-------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
1998.......................................................... 130.0%
1999.......................................................... 122.5%
2000.......................................................... 115.0%
2001.......................................................... 107.5%
2002 and thereafter........................................... 100.0%
The "Average Closing Price" per share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock on
any day shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices for Lockheed
Martin Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days commencing 30 trading
days before the day in question, with each day's closing sale price being the
reported last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes
place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asking prices, in
either case on the NYSE.
In lieu of paying the Redemption Price in cash, Lockheed Martin may, at its
sole option, pay such Redemption Price in shares of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock. The number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock issuable in lieu of
a cash payment of the Redemption Price will be the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock as will have an aggregate
Average Closing Price as of the redemption date equal to the aggregate
liquidation preference of the shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
being redeemed.
74
85
Within 15 days of its receipt of notice of a redemption payable in shares
of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, each holder of Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock will have the right to elect not to retain such Lockheed Martin
Common Stock and to request a Backstop Registration (as described below) of some
or all of the shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock to be received in the
redemption (the "Redemption Common Stock"). A holder's failure to timely so
request Backstop Registration will be deemed to be an election by the holder to
retain such Lockheed Martin Common Stock.
A Backstop Registration for shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock issued
in lieu of a redemption in cash will be conducted substantially in the manner
described under "STANDSTILL AGREEMENT -- Special Liquidity
Provisions -- Backstop Registration."
When the Backstop Registration has been completed, the net proceeds thereof
will be distributed to the holders who requested the Backstop Registration pro
rata in respect of their interests in the Lockheed Martin Common Stock subject
to the Backstop Registration. Any such Backstop Registration not consummated
within six months will be deemed to have been abandoned. To the extent the net
proceeds per share from such Backstop Registration are less than the sum of the
Redemption Price and the interest on such Redemption Price (at an annual rate
published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for U.S.
Treasury Bonds maturing 10 years from the applicable redemption date) from the
applicable redemption date to and including the date of payment in respect of a
requesting holder's redeemed shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock,
Lockheed Martin will pay to the requesting holder an amount in cash equal to the
applicable difference.
Conversion Rights
The holders of shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will have
the right, at their option, to convert each share into such number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock as is determined by
dividing $50 by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of
conversion. As of the Merger Date, the "Conversion Price" for the Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock will be $34.5525. The Conversion Price will be
subject to anti-dilution adjustments as described below under "Anti-Dilution
Provisions."
Anti-Dilution Provisions
The number of shares of stock into which each share of Lockheed Martin
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible will be subject to certain anti-dilution
adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events such as (i) stock dividends or
other distributions on the Lockheed Martin Common Stock or other stock of
Lockheed Martin payable in Lockheed Martin Common Stock, (ii) stock splits,
reverse stock splits, share exchanges or reclassifications affecting the
Lockheed Martin Common Stock, (iii) certain issuances of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock (or rights, warrants or securities convertible or exchangeable into
Lockheed Martin Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion or
exercise price per share) less than the Average Closing Price of Lockheed Martin
Common Stock on the date of issuance, (iv) distributions to holders of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock or any other class of stock of Lockheed Martin of evidences
of indebtedness or assets of Lockheed Martin (excluding any regular quarterly
dividend of Lockheed Martin paid in cash out of the consolidated earnings or
consolidated retained earnings of Lockheed Martin in an amount not exceeding
125% of the average of the four regular quarterly dividends paid by Lockheed
Martin for the immediately preceding four quarters (including for this purpose
dividends paid by Martin Marietta prior to the Merger Date)), and (v)
repurchases, by Lockheed Martin or any of its subsidiaries, by self tender offer
or otherwise, of any shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock at a weighted
average purchase price in excess of the Average Closing Price immediately prior
to such repurchase.
Voting Rights
Except as otherwise provided below or as required by law, the holders of
shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote
on any matter on which the holders of any voting securities of Lockheed Martin
will be entitled to vote.
75
86
Upon a default with respect to Lockheed Martin's senior bank facility (if
any) or any successor thereto or replacement thereof (as amended from time to
time, the "Senior Bank Facility") that is not substantially cured within six
months from the declaration thereof pursuant to the Senior Bank Facility (but
without regard to any waivers granted by the lenders under such Senior Bank
Facility) (a "Bank Debt Default"), the holders of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect the
smallest number of directors of the Lockheed Martin Board that shall constitute
no less than 25% of the authorized number of directors of the Lockheed Martin
Board until the Bank Debt Default is cured, or until GE is no longer entitled to
designate any directors of Lockheed Martin pursuant to the Standstill Agreement,
whichever first occurs. Following expiration of such rights of GE under the
Standstill Agreement, the holders of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock will have only the voting rights described below and as otherwise required
by law. See "THE STANDSTILL AGREEMENT -- Voting."
In the event that dividends payable on the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock are in arrears for six quarters (whether or not consecutive)(a
"Preferred Dividend Default") and if the holders of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock are not then represented on the Lockheed Martin Board by
directors elected as a result of a Bank Debt Default, until the Preferred
Dividend Default is cured, a majority in interest of the holders of Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class with holders of
shares of any other class of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have
been conferred, will be entitled to elect two additional directors of Lockheed
Martin.
In the event of any merger, consolidation, business combination or share
exchange involving Lockheed Martin or any sale, lease or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of Lockheed Martin upon which the holders of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock are entitled to vote, the holder of each share of
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote together with
the holders of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock and to cast the number of
votes equal to the number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock into which
such shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible;
provided, however, that the holders of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock will not be entitled to vote upon acquisitions which, within any 12-month
period, do not (i) involve greater than an aggregate of $25 million of
transaction value (including assumed liabilities, whether contingent or not) or
(ii) adversely affect the economic or legal position of the holders of Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock or their rights, preferences, privileges or
voting powers.
So long as any shares of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares
of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting separately
as a class) given in person or by proxy, at any special or annual meeting called
for such purpose, or by written consent as permitted by law and the Lockheed
Martin Charter and Lockheed Martin Bylaws, will be necessary to amend, alter or
repeal any of the provisions of the Lockheed Martin Charter which would
adversely affect any right, preference, privilege, or voting power of Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however,
that any such amendment, alteration or repeal that would authorize, create or
issue any additional shares of preferred stock or any other shares of stock
(whether or not already authorized) ranking on a parity with or junior to the
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and on the distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, will be deemed not to
materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting
powers.
Liquidation Rights
Subject to the rights of holders of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred Stock
ranking on a parity with the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock, upon any
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of Lockheed Martin,
whether voluntary or involuntary (collectively, a "Liquidation"), the holders of
shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive
liquidating distributions in the amount of $50 per share, plus an amount equal
to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of Liquidation, before
any distribution or payment is made to holders of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
or on any other class of stock of Lockheed Martin ranking junior as to dividends
or assets distributable upon Liquidation to the holders of shares of Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock. After the payment to the holders of the
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts
described above, the holders of the
76
87
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further
participation in any distribution or payment by Lockheed Martin.
Neither the merger or consolidation of Lockheed Martin into or with any
other corporation, nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into
or with Lockheed Martin, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any part of the
assets of Lockheed Martin, will, without further corporate action, be deemed to
be a Liquidation.
Tax Provisions
Lockheed Martin will treat the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock as
equity (not debt) for all federal, state, local and other tax purposes. Lockheed
Martin will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that it has adequate
earnings and profits, within the meaning of Section 312 of the Code, or any
successor provision, to ensure that all dividend distributions on the Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock and all distributions in redemption of the
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock that are treated as distributions with
respect to stock under Section 302(d) of the Code (or any successor provisions)
will be treated as dividends within the meaning of Section 316 of the Code (or
any successor provision); provided that such reasonable best efforts do not
require Lockheed Martin to incur any material out-of-pocket costs unless such
costs are reimbursed by GE.
Certain Potential Antitakeover Effects of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock
Although the issuance of shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
to GE in connection with the Combination is not intended as an antitakeover
device, it should be noted that such issuance, and the issuance of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock or other securities into which the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible or exchangeable and the provisions of the
Standstill Agreement, may have certain antitakeover effects. It may discourage
or render more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving
Lockheed Martin or deter a third party from seeking to acquire control of
Lockheed Martin. See "THE STANDSTILL AGREEMENT -- Voting" and "-- Certain
Antitakeover Effects of Lockheed Martin Charter and Bylaws and Maryland Law."
SERIES PREFERRED STOCK
The Lockheed Martin Board is authorized to issue shares of Lockheed Martin
Series Preferred Stock, in one or more series or classes, and to fix for each
such series or class the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or
conditions of redemption, as are permitted by Maryland law. The Lockheed Martin
Board could authorize the issuance of shares of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred
Stock with terms and conditions which could discourage a takeover or other
transaction that holders of some or a majority of shares of Lockheed Martin
Common Stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which such
holders might receive a premium for their shares of stock over the then market
price of such shares. As of the date hereof, no shares of Lockheed Martin Series
Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Lockheed Martin Board has no present
intent to issue any shares of Lockheed Martin Series Preferred Stock after the
Merger Date.
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
No holder of any shares of any class of stock of Lockheed Martin will have
any preemptive or preferential right to acquire or subscribe for any unissued
shares of any class of stock or any authorized securities convertible into or
carrying any right, option or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any
class of stock.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The principal transfer agent and registrar for Lockheed Martin Common Stock
will be First Chicago Trust Company of New York.
77
88
CERTAIN ANTITAKEOVER EFFECTS OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CHARTER AND BYLAWS AND MARYLAND
LAW
General
Certain provisions of the Lockheed Martin Charter and Bylaws may have the
effect of impeding the acquisition of control of Lockheed Martin by means of a
tender offer, a proxy fight, open market purchases or otherwise in a transaction
not approved by the Lockheed Martin Board.
The provisions of the Lockheed Martin Charter and Bylaws described below
are designed to reduce the vulnerability of Lockheed Martin to an unsolicited
proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of Lockheed Martin or an unsolicited takeover attempt which does not provide
that all of Lockheed Martin's outstanding shares will be acquired or which is
otherwise unfair to Lockheed Martin stockholders. The summary of such provisions
set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Lockheed Martin Charter and Bylaws.
The Lockheed Martin Board is not presently aware of any attempt to bring
about a change in control of Lockheed Martin and has no present intention to
introduce additional measures which might have an anti-takeover effect. The
Lockheed Martin Board, however, expressly reserves the right to introduce such
measures in the future.
Removal of Directors
The Lockheed Martin Charter provides that a director may be removed by the
stockholders only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of
the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors. This provision
precludes stockholders from removing incumbent directors and filling the
vacancies created by such removal with their own nominees except upon a
substantial affirmative vote. This provision may be amended or repealed only by
the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast in the
election of directors.
Business Combinations
Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and (i) any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares, (ii) an affiliate of such corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (in either case, an "interested stockholder"),
or (iii) any affiliate of an interested stockholder, are prohibited for five
years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an
interested stockholder, and thereafter must be recommended by the board of
directors of the Maryland corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at
least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of its outstanding
voting shares, and (b) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of
such outstanding voting shares, other than shares held by the interested
stockholder with whom the business combination is to be effected; unless, among
other things, the corporation's stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined
in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in
the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.
These provisions of the MGCL do not apply to business combinations that are
approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the
time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.
Lockheed Martin will generally be governed by the MGCL's business
combinations statute. However, the Lockheed Martin Board has exempted any
business combination with GE from its application.
In addition to the MGCL requirements, the Lockheed Martin Charter also
contains a provision requiring that any business combination between Lockheed
Martin and a Related Person must be approved by 80% of the outstanding shares of
Voting Stock and by two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock not
owned by the Related Person. This provision does not apply to a business
combination approved by a two-thirds vote of the directors in office prior to
the time a Related Person becomes a Related Person (and certain other directors
designated from time to time as "Continuing Directors") or if the consideration
received by the
78
89
stockholders other than the Related Person is not less than the highest price
per share paid by the Related Person prior to the business combination and a
proxy statement complying with the regulations of the Exchange Act shall have
been sent to all stockholders. Under the Lockheed Martin Charter, this provision
may be amended only by the same two supermajority votes required for approval of
a business combination. The Lockheed Martin Charter provides that Lockheed and
Martin Marietta and certain of their subsidiaries are not Related Persons for
purposes of this provision.
Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that "control shares" of a Maryland corporation acquired
in a "control share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent
approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by
stockholders in the election of directors, excluding shares of stock as to which
the acquiring person, officers of the corporation and directors of the
corporation who are employees of the corporation are entitled to exercise or
direct the exercise of the voting power of the shares in the election of
directors. "Control shares" are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with
all other shares of stock previously acquired by such person, would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third,
(ii) one-third or more but less than a majority or (iii) a majority of all
voting power. Control shares do not include shares which the acquiring person is
entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval.
A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of
control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to
be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiror does
not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then
subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or
all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously
been approved, for fair value determined, without regard to voting rights, as of
the date of the last control share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders
at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If
voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders' meeting and the
acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all
other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares
as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid in the control share acquisition, and certain
limitations and restrictions generally applicable to the exercise of appraisal
rights do not apply in the context of a control share acquisition.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in
a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction or to acquisitions approved or excepted by the charter or the bylaws
of the corporation.
The business combination statute and the control share acquisition statute
could have the effect of discouraging unsolicited offers to acquire Lockheed
Martin and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offer.
Prohibition on Payment of Greenmail; Cumulative Voting for Directors
The Lockheed Martin Charter contains a provision requiring that any
purchase by Lockheed Martin of shares of Voting Stock from an Interested
Stockholder (as defined in such provision, any person who has been a beneficial
owner for less than two years of 5% or more of outstanding shares of Voting
Stock) other than pursuant to an offer to holders of all the outstanding shares
of the same class at a price in excess of the market price of the stock on the
day immediately preceding the purchase, must first be approved by the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Voting Stock
not owned by such Interested Stockholder. Under the Lockheed Martin Charter,
this provision may be amended or repealed only by the affirmative vote of
holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock.
79
90
The Lockheed Martin Charter further provides that if any person (other than
Lockheed Martin or certain of its affiliates) beneficially owns Voting Stock
representing 40% or more of the votes entitled to be cast by all the holders of
outstanding shares of Voting Stock, (i) the directors of Lockheed Martin will be
elected by cumulative voting, and (ii) one or more candidates may be nominated
by certain disinterested directors, or by any beneficial owner of Voting Stock
having an aggregate market price of $250,000 or more.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
The Lockheed Martin Bylaws provide that (i) with respect to annual meetings
of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Lockheed Martin
Board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made
only (a) pursuant to Lockheed Martin's notice of the meeting, (b) by or at the
direction of the Lockheed Martin Board or (c) by a stockholder who has complied
with the advance notice procedures set forth in the Lockheed Martin Bylaws and
is entitled to vote at the meeting; and (ii) with respect to special meetings of
stockholders, only the business specified in Lockheed Martin's notice of meeting
may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the
Lockheed Martin Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected pursuant to Lockheed Martin's notice of meeting only
(i) by or at the direction of the Lockheed Martin Board, or (ii) by a
stockholder who has complied with the advance notice provisions set forth in the
Lockheed Martin Bylaws and is entitled to vote at the meeting.
Right to Examine Stockholder List
Under the MGCL, any one or more persons who for at least six months have
been the record holders of at least 5% of any class of stock are entitled to
inspect and copy the corporation's stock ledger and if the corporation does not
maintain its stock ledger at its principal place of business, to request in
writing a stockholder list. See "COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS'
RIGHTS -- Comparison of Stockholder Rights with Respect to Lockheed Martin and
Lockheed -- Right to Examine Stockholder List."
Effect of Certain Provisions
The provisions in the Lockheed Martin Charter on removal of directors,
payment of greenmail, cumulative voting for directors in the event that a
stockholder owns 40% or more of the Voting Stock, and the business combinations,
control share acquisition and right to examine stockholder list provisions of
MGCL, and the advance notice provisions of the Lockheed Martin Bylaws, could
have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of
Lockheed Martin. In addition, the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan contains
provisions applicable to a change of control situation. See "LOCKHEED MARTIN
1995 OMNIBUS PERFORMANCE AWARD PLAN."

* GE designees to the Lockheed Martin Board. See "THE STANDSTILL
AGREEMENT -- Board Representation."
For information concerning the interests of the directors of Lockheed
Martin in the Combination, see "THE COMBINATION -- Interests of Certain Persons
in the Combination."
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors, other than employees of Lockheed Martin, will initially receive
$35,000 annually for service on the Lockheed Martin Board and $1,000 per meeting
attended, including the annual meeting of stockholders of Lockheed Martin. A
total of $10,000 of the $35,000 will be paid annually in the form of share
credits based on the value of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, subject to approval
of the Directors Plan Proposal. Directors will also be reimbursed for expenses
incurred in connection with attendance at Lockheed Martin Board and committee
meetings.
The Lockheed Martin Board will have five standing committees: Audit and
Ethics, Compensation, Executive, Finance and Nominating. Non-employee directors
of Lockheed Martin will initially receive $5,000 annually for each committee on
which they serve and $1,000 per committee meeting attended. Additionally,
committee chairs, if held by non-employee directors, will receive the following
compensation: initially, Chairmen of the Audit and Ethics, Compensation,
Executive, and Finance Committees will receive $4,000 additional compensation
per year, and the Chairman of the Nominating Committee will receive $2,000
additional compensation per year. See "-- Committees of the Board of Directors."
It is anticipated that a deferred compensation plan will be implemented for
non-employee directors, pursuant to which they will be entitled to defer all or
a portion of their cash compensation for service as a director and committee
member.
86
97
The mandatory retirement age for directors is 70. However, in order to
assist Lockheed Martin in the transition period following the Combination, Mr.
Kitchen and Mr. Potter will be eligible to serve on the Lockheed Martin Board
until the annual meetings of stockholders in 1996 and 1997, respectively, at
which time each will be 72 years of age. It is expected that following
retirement from the Lockheed Martin Board non-employee directors will be paid an
annual retirement benefit equal to the amount of the annual fee (including both
the cash and stock portions thereof) in effect on the date the director leaves
the Lockheed Martin Board. These amounts will be paid in cash in regular
installments for a period equal to the number of years that the director serves
on the Lockheed Martin Board as a non-employee director. If the director retires
at the mandatory retirement age after satisfying a vesting period to be
determined, the benefit will be paid annually for life.
Lockheed Martin also intends to implement a financial counseling program
which will provide reimbursement to directors for tax and financial planning and
tax preparation services and for which Lockheed Martin will pay a maximum of
$6,000 annually per participant. In addition, for each non-employee director
Lockheed Martin intends to provide a $100,000 death benefit and provide $500,000
coverage for death or dismemberment resulting from an accident while traveling
on company business.
In the interests of promoting giving to charitable institutions and
tax-exempt educational institutions, Lockheed Martin will maintain a plan which
will allow each director (except continuing directors from Martin Marietta who
have a comparable benefit through a substantially similar plan) to recommend one
or more charitable organizations that would receive, in the aggregate, up to $1
million, such contribution to be payable to the designated institution(s) upon a
director's death. Lockheed Martin expects to fund the program through the
purchase of insurance on the directors' lives. Directors will not receive any
economic benefit from the program because the insurance proceeds and charitable
deductions will accrue solely to Lockheed Martin.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, Martin Marietta and Lockheed have
agreed that membership on the major committees of the Lockheed Martin Board will
initially consist of an equal number of designees of Martin Marietta and
Lockheed. The members of such committees will be determined by the Lockheed
Martin Board prior to the Combination.

OFFICERS
Set forth below are the names and titles of certain of the persons who are
expected to serve as officers of Lockheed Martin following the Combination.
NAME OFFICE
--------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
Daniel M. Tellep....................... Chairman of the Board; Chief Executive
Officer
Norman R. Augustine.................... President
Vincent N. Marafino.................... Executive Vice President
A. Thomas Young........................ Executive Vice President
Kenneth W. Cannestra................... Sector President -- Aeronautics
Vance D. Coffman....................... Sector President -- Space and Strategic

Robert E. Rulon........................ Vice President and Controller
Walter E. Skowronski................... Vice President and Treasurer
William T. Vinson...................... Vice President and Chief Counsel
Lillian M. Trippett.................... Corporate Secretary
It is expected that Mr. Tellep will be Chief Executive Officer of Lockheed
Martin through 1995 and Chairman of the Lockheed Martin Board through 1996. It
is also expected that Mr. Augustine will be President of Lockheed Martin through
1995, become President and Chief Executive Officer at the end of 1995 and
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer at the end of 1996.
For information concerning the interests of certain of the above-named
individuals in the Combination, see "THE COMBINATION -- Interests of Certain
Persons in the Combination."
COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Lockheed Martin has not yet paid any compensation to its Chief Executive
Officer or any of its other executive officers and the form and amount of such
compensation has not yet been determined. The Lockheed Martin Board will rely on
its Compensation Committee composed of non-employee Board members to recommend
the form and amount of compensation to be paid to Lockheed Martin's executive
officers.
It is anticipated that, when the Compensation Committee meets to determine
such compensation, which meeting is not expected to occur until after the Merger
Date, the Committee will generally adhere to compensation policies which reflect
the belief that (i) Lockheed Martin must attract and retain individuals of
outstanding ability and motivate and reward such individuals for sustained
performance, (ii) a substantial portion of an executive's compensation should be
at risk based upon that executive's performance and that of the corporation, and
(iii) within these parameters, levels of compensation should generally be in
line with that offered by comparable corporations. Hewitt Associates has been
engaged to advise the Compensation Committee as to the compensation paid by
companies of a size and complexity generally comparable to Lockheed Martin. In
addition, each of Lockheed and Martin Marietta has asked three of its current
directors to work with Hewitt Associates so as to be prepared to offer advice to
the Compensation Committee shortly following the Merger Date. On an ongoing
basis the type and amount of compensation to be paid by Lockheed
88
99
Martin to its officers will be entirely discretionary and within the subjective
judgment of the Compensation Committee.
For information concerning the compensation paid to the Chief Executive
Officers and the other four most highly compensated executive officers of each
of Lockheed and Martin Marietta for the 1993 fiscal year, see the 1994 Proxy
Statements for Lockheed and Martin Marietta, the relevant portions of which are
incorporated by reference into the Lockheed Form 10-K and the Martin Marietta
Form 10-K, respectively. See "INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE."

the Reorganization Agreement and to recommend to GE's Board of Directors that
GE's shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock be voted in favor of
such transactions and that GE not assert any appraisal or dissenters' rights
under the MGCL. In addition, GE acknowledged that the Atlantic Sub Merger is
intended to qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment and as a
tax-free transaction under Section 351 of the Code, and GE made certain
representations and commitments in connection therewith. Pursuant to the
Reconfiguration Agreement, Lockheed Martin agreed that for a specified period of
time it would not transfer its interests in Martin Marietta or Martin Marietta
Technologies, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Marietta) other than for
fair value nor permit either of such companies to become subject to restrictions
on its ability to pay dividends. Lockheed Martin also agreed upon consummation
of the Atlantic Sub Merger to become jointly and severally liable with Martin
93

Marietta for the obligations of Martin Marietta to GE under certain previous
agreements between them. This agreement will be of no force or effect if the
Combination is not consummated.
LOCKHEED MARTIN
There are currently outstanding 200 shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock,
of which 100 are owned by each of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, which shares
will be cancelled on consummation of the Combination. It is anticipated that,
after giving effect to the Combination, approximately 200,000,000 shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock will be outstanding and approximately 38,200,000
additional shares will be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options
assumed by Lockheed Martin and upon conversion of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock.
Directors and Executive Officers. No director or executive officer is
expected to own more than one percent of the outstanding shares of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock after giving effect to the Combination. The directors and
executive officers of Lockheed Martin as a group are expected to beneficially
own approximately 1.0% of the outstanding shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
after giving effect to the Combination. See "-- Lockheed" and "-- Martin
Marietta" for the number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock expected to
be beneficially owned by each director, the Chief Executive Officer of Lockheed
Martin and certain other executive officers of Lockheed Martin.

THE STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
In connection with the combination of the aerospace business of GE and
certain other businesses of GE with the businesses of Martin Marietta
Technologies, Inc., on April 2, 1993, Martin Marietta issued to GE 20,000,000
shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock and entered into a standstill
agreement with GE. On the Merger Date, as a result of the Atlantic Sub Merger,
GE's shares of Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock. In anticipation of that event, Martin
Marietta, Lockheed Martin and GE entered into an agreement dated August 29, 1994
as amended as of November 30, 1994 (the "Reconfiguration Agreement") that, among
other things, modified the standstill agreement with GE to anticipate the
conversion of shares from Martin Marietta Series A Preferred Stock to Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock.
The following description is a summary of the standstill agreement, as
modified by the Reconfiguration Agreement (as such agreement would be in effect
on the Merger Date, the "Standstill Agreement"), and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the provisions of the Standstill Agreement and
Reconfiguration Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein and
included as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus is a part.
TERM
The Standstill Agreement will continue in effect until the date on which GE
beneficially owns voting securities of Lockheed Martin, the voting power of
which in the general election of directors of Lockheed Martin represents less
than two and one-half percent of the total combined voting power in the general
election of directors of Lockheed Martin of all the voting securities of
Lockheed Martin then outstanding; provided, however, that the special liquidity
provisions described below will survive such termination. See "-- Special
Liquidity Provisions." For purposes of the Standstill Agreement, the term
"voting securities" includes the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock.
STANDSTILL PROVISIONS
During the term of the Standstill Agreement, except as otherwise expressly
provided therein, GE will not, and will cause each of its affiliates and
associates not to, singly or as part of a group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly (i) acquire, offer to acquire, or
agree to acquire, by purchase, gift or otherwise, any of Lockheed Martin's
voting securities, (ii) make, or in any way participate in any "solicitation" of
"proxies" to vote (as such terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange
Act), solicit any consent or communicate with or seek to advise or influence any
person or entity with respect to the voting of, any of Lockheed Martin's voting
securities or become a "participant" in any "election contest" (as such terms
are defined or used in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act) with respect to
Lockheed Martin, (iii) form, join or encourage the formation of, any "person"
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to any
of Lockheed Martin's voting securities (except an arrangement solely among GE
and any of its wholly owned subsidiaries), (iv) deposit any Lockheed Martin
voting securities into a voting trust or subject any such voting securities to
any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting thereof (except for such
an arrangement solely among GE and any of its wholly owned subsidiaries), (v)
initiate, propose or otherwise solicit stockholders for the approval of one or
more stockholder proposals with respect to Lockheed Martin as described in Rule
14a-8 under the Exchange Act, or induce or attempt to induce any other person to
initiate any stockholder proposal, (vi) seek election to or seek to place a
representative on the Lockheed Martin Board or, except with the approval of
management of Lockheed Martin, seek the removal of any member of the Lockheed
Martin Board, (vii) except with the approval of management of Lockheed Martin,
call or seek to have called any meeting of the stockholders of Lockheed Martin,
(viii) except through its representatives on the Lockheed Martin Board (or any
committee thereof), otherwise act to seek to control, disrupt or influence the
management, policies or affairs, of Lockheed Martin,
95
106
except with the approval of management of Lockheed Martin; (ix) sell or
otherwise transfer in any manner any of Lockheed Martin's voting securities to
any "person" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) who
owns or who as a result of such sale or transfer will own more than 3% of any
class of Lockheed Martin's voting securities or who, without the approval of the
Lockheed Martin Board, has proposed a business combination or similar
transaction with, or a change of control of, Lockheed Martin or who has proposed
a tender offer for Lockheed Martin's voting securities or who has discussed the
possibility of proposing a business combination, tender offer or similar
transaction with, or a change in control of, Lockheed Martin with GE or any of
its respective affiliates or associates, (x) solicit, seek to effect, negotiate
with or provide any information to any other party with respect to, or make any
statement or proposal, whether written or oral, to the Lockheed Martin Board or
any director or officer of Lockheed Martin or otherwise make any public
announcement or proposal whatsoever with respect to, any form of business
combination transaction involving Lockheed Martin, or (xi) instigate or
encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing.
BOARD REPRESENTATION
Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, two members of the Lockheed Martin
Board have been designated by GE. During the term of the Standstill Agreement,
Lockheed Martin's nominating committee will recommend to the Lockheed Martin
Board that such persons or any two other persons designated by GE after
consultation with Lockheed Martin be included in the slate of nominees
recommended to stockholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of
stockholders of Lockheed Martin. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lockheed
Martin's directors will be elected by its stockholders (subject to the power of
the Lockheed Martin Board to fill vacancies). There is, therefore, no way to
assure that GE's designees will ultimately be elected as directors. If GE
designees are not elected, assuming that Lockheed Martin has satisfied its
obligations under the Standstill Agreement, GE will have no recourse against
Lockheed Martin or any other person or entity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, GE will not be entitled to designate any
person to the Lockheed Martin Board if such designation would result in any
violation of applicable law, and Lockheed Martin will not be obligated to elect
to the Lockheed Martin Board any person who would cause or be reasonably likely
to cause Lockheed Martin to be unable in any material respect to conduct its
business. However, GE is entitled, in such event, to select alternate designees,
if necessary.
The initial designees of GE to serve on the Lockheed Martin Board are
Messrs. Hood and Murphy. See "MANAGEMENT OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Directors."
VOTING
During the term of the Standstill Agreement, whenever GE or any of its
affiliates or associates have the right to vote, GE will vote or cause to be
voted, or consent with respect to, all Lockheed Martin voting securities
beneficially owned by it and its affiliates and associates in the manner
recommended by the Lockheed Martin Board, except that at any time when there is
a valid order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or a ruling,
pronouncement or requirement of the NYSE to the contrary, then GE will, if so
requested by the Lockheed Martin Board, vote or cause to be voted all such
voting securities in the same proportion as the votes cast by or on behalf of
the other holders of Lockheed Martin's voting securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, GE will be entitled to vote freely, without regard to any request or
recommendation of the Lockheed Martin Board, with respect to certain mergers,
acquisitions and other matters specified in the Lockheed Martin Charter, as to
which the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote. See
"DESCRIPTION OF LOCKHEED MARTIN CAPITAL STOCK -- Series A Preferred
Stock -- Voting Rights."
Because GE will be required (with certain exceptions) to vote its shares of
voting stock of Lockheed Martin in accordance with the recommendations of the
Lockheed Martin Board, if GE converts its Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock and retains the Lockheed Martin Common Stock into which it is converted,
the ability of the Lockheed Martin Board to influence the outcome of any
transaction or other proposal submitted to stockholders will be significantly
enhanced.
96
107
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
Subject to the limitation on sales to persons who will own more than 3% of
any class of Lockheed Martin voting securities described in the standstill
provisions above, if GE desires to transfer any Lockheed Martin voting
securities it must give written notice ("GE's Notice") to Lockheed Martin (i)
stating that it desires to make such transfer, and (ii) setting forth the number
of shares of Lockheed Martin voting securities proposed to be transferred (the
"Offered Shares"), the cash price per share that GE proposes to be paid for such
Offered Shares (the "Offer Price"), and the other material terms and conditions
of such transfer. GE's Notice will constitute an irrevocable offer by GE to sell
to Lockheed Martin the Offered Shares at the Offer Price in cash and Lockheed
Martin may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares
at the Offer Price in cash. If Lockheed Martin fails to elect to purchase all of
the Offered Shares within 10 business days after receipt of GE's Notice, then GE
may, within a period of 120 days, transfer (or enter into an agreement to
transfer) all or any Offered Shares; provided, that if the purchase price per
share to be paid by any purchaser of the Offered Shares is less than 90% of the
Offer Price (the "Reduced Transfer Price"), GE will promptly provide written
notice to Lockheed Martin of such intended transfer (including the material
terms and conditions thereof) and Lockheed Martin will have the right,
exercisable by delivery of a written election notice to GE within five business
days, to purchase such Offered Shares at the Reduced Transfer Price.
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WITH RESPECT TO RESTRICTED PERSONS
Not less than 30 business days prior to any proposed sale by GE of Lockheed
Martin voting securities to any person who is a significant competitor of
Lockheed Martin or whose ownership of Lockheed Martin voting securities would
cause Lockheed Martin to be materially adversely affected in bidding for or
obtaining contracts with federal, state or local governmental entities (a
"Restricted Person"), GE will give Lockheed Martin notice of the identity of
such Restricted Person and Lockheed Martin will have the right to purchase the
Offered Shares at the Offer Price (or Reduced Transfer Price, as the case may
be) at which the Restricted Person agreed to purchase the Offered Shares. If
Lockheed Martin fails to purchase the Offered Shares within 20 business days, GE
will be permitted to proceed with its sale to such Restricted Person at the
Offer Price or Reduced Transfer Price, as the case may be.
RIGHTS PURSUANT TO A TENDER OFFER
GE will have the right to sell or exchange all of its Lockheed Martin
voting securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for at least a majority
of Lockheed Martin voting securities (a "Tender Offer"). However, prior to such
sale or exchange, GE will give Lockheed Martin the opportunity to purchase such
voting securities in the manner described below.
GE will give notice (the "Tender Notice") to Lockheed Martin in writing of
its intention to sell or exchange Lockheed Martin voting securities in response
to a Tender Offer no later than three calendar days prior to the latest time
(including any extensions) by which voting securities must be tendered in order
to be accepted pursuant to such Tender Offer, specifying the amount of voting
securities proposed to be tendered by GE (the "Tendered Shares") and the
purchase price per share, specified in the Tender Offer at the time of the
Tender Notice.
Lockheed Martin will have the right to purchase all, but not part, of the
Tendered Shares exercisable by giving written notice (an "Exercise Notice") to
GE at least two calendar days prior to the latest time after delivery of the
Tender Notice by which voting securities must be tendered in order to be
accepted pursuant to the Tender Offer (including any extensions thereof) and
depositing in escrow (or similar arrangement) a sum in cash sufficient to
purchase all Tendered Shares at the price then being offered in the Tender
Offer, without regard to any provision thereof with respect to proration or
conditions to the offerer's obligation to purchase. The purchase price to be
paid by Lockheed Martin for any voting securities so purchased by it will be the
highest price offered or paid in the Tender Offer or in any competing tender
offer, without regard to any provisions thereof with respect to proration or
conditions to the offeror's obligation to purchase.
97
108
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
GE will have the right to require Lockheed Martin to register under the Act
all or any portion of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock then owned by
GE or any Lockheed Martin Common Stock issued or issuable directly or indirectly
upon conversion of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock then owned by GE
(collectively, the "Registrable Securities"), pursuant to not more than five
"demand" registrations, provided that any such registration must include
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation
preference of at least $100 million or at least one million shares of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In
addition, if Lockheed Martin seeks to register under the Act for sale to the
public any Lockheed Martin voting securities, then Lockheed Martin will, subject
to certain exceptions, include Registrable Securities therein at GE's request (a
"piggyback registration").
GE will pay all agent fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and
commissions related to Registrable Securities being sold by GE and the fees and
disbursements of its counsel and accountants and Lockheed Martin will pay all
fees and disbursements of its counsel and accountants. All other fees and
expenses in connection with any registration statement will (i) in the case of a
demand registration, be borne equally by GE and Lockheed Martin and (ii) in the
case of a piggyback registration, be shared pro rata based upon the respective
market values of the securities to be sold by Lockheed Martin, GE and any other
holders participating in such offering, provided that GE will not pay any
expenses that would otherwise be incurred by Lockheed Martin including, but not
limited to, the preparation and filing of periodic reports with the Commission.
In addition, Lockheed Martin has agreed to enter into customary indemnification
provisions with respect to such registered public offerings.
Any underwriters participating in a distribution of GE's voting securities
of Lockheed Martin pursuant to GE's registration rights will be required to use
all reasonable efforts to effect as wide a distribution as is reasonably
practicable, and in no event will any sale (other than a sale to underwriters
making such a distribution) of shares of voting securities be made knowingly to
any person (including its affiliates or associates and any group in which that
person or its affiliates or associates shall be a member if GE or underwriters
know of the existence of such a group or affiliate or associate) that, after
giving effect to such sale, would beneficially own voting securities
representing 3% or more of the total outstanding securities of Lockheed Martin
entitled to participate in the election of directors. GE must use all reasonable
efforts to secure the agreement of the underwriters, in connection with any such
underwritten offering of Lockheed Martin voting securities, to comply with the
foregoing.
It is possible that GE's registration rights may reduce Lockheed Martin's
flexibility in selecting its ongoing financing alternatives, and in particular
its ability to issue equity securities in the capital markets. However, the
impact of GE's registration rights on Lockheed Martin's overall financial
flexibility and its access to the public capital markets is likely to be
mitigated by several factors. The circumstances surrounding GE's ownership of
Lockheed Martin shares will be publicly disclosed and the market will have had
an opportunity to take account of the potential impact of this ownership.
Lockheed Martin is also entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time
certain registrations requested by GE if they would interfere with any public
offering of securities, material financings, acquisitions, dispositions,
corporate reorganizations or other material transactions Lockheed Martin is
about to conduct. In addition, Lockheed Martin believes a future market
disruption to be unlikely because Lockheed Martin and GE should have a mutuality
of interest in maximizing stockholder value.
SPECIAL LIQUIDITY PROVISIONS
Required GE Offering. No later than 90 days prior to April 2, 2003, GE will
engage a nationally recognized investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to
Lockheed Martin to make an underwritten public offering of all the Lockheed
Martin Series A Preferred Stock then held by GE at a per share price no less
than the liquidation preference per share of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock. Such offering will be conducted so as to satisfy the
requirements for distribution set forth in the next to last paragraph above
under "-- Registration Rights." Lockheed Martin will promptly file a
registration statement registering the
98
109
shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock to be sold and GE, Lockheed
Martin and the applicable underwriters will use their best efforts to consummate
such offering, unless the underwriter managing the offering advises Lockheed
Martin in writing that, in such underwriter's good faith opinion, given then-
applicable market conditions, the offering cannot be consummated at the price
and on the terms specified above or that the inclusion of all (or a specified
number) of the shares of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock in an offering
at the price and on the terms specified above would materially adversely affect
such offering (in which event, GE and Lockheed Martin will proceed with the
unaffected portion of such offering).
Mandatory Conversions; Equity Conversion Securities. If GE continues to own
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock after the offering contemplated above,
or such offering is not consummated, Lockheed Martin must convert for Equity
Conversion Securities (as described below) on April 2 of each year commencing
April 2, 2003 (a "Mandatory Conversion Date"), $200 million aggregate
liquidation preference of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock; provided,
however, that to the extent GE has sold, converted or otherwise disposed of any
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock (including any Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock redeemed in accordance with its terms) prior to the first
Mandatory Conversion Date, the amount of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock to be converted will be reduced by the amount so sold or disposed of in
reverse chronological order (i.e., with the aggregate liquidation preference to
be converted on April 2, 2007 being the first amount so reduced and the
aggregate liquidation preference to be converted on the April 2, 2003 being the
last amount so reduced). Accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the
Mandatory Conversion Date with respect to Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock subject to mandatory conversion will be paid in cash on the Mandatory
Conversion Date.
"Equity Conversion Securities" means any combination of (i) Lockheed Martin
Common Stock, (ii) a perpetual convertible or non-convertible preferred stock of
Lockheed Martin where the dividend rate is intended to be the rate necessary to
value such preferred stock at its stated liquidation preference (and in any
event no more than 11%) and with such other terms as are customary for issuers
of similar credit posture to Lockheed Martin at the time of issuance (a "Market
Preferred") and (iii) a perpetual 11% non-convertible preferred stock of
Lockheed Martin which is not callable by Lockheed Martin until the fifth
anniversary of the date of issuance and otherwise with terms customary for
issuers of similar credit posture to Lockheed Martin at the time of issuance
("11% Preferred"). GE will have the right to request Backstop Registration (as
described below) for Market Preferred and Lockheed Martin Common Stock issued as
Equity Conversion Securities, but not for 11% Preferred.
No fewer than 30 days prior to a Mandatory Conversion Date, Lockheed Martin
must give written notice to GE of the type or combination of types of Equity
Conversion Securities it intends to issue on such Mandatory Conversion Date, the
number of shares of each such type, the value per share it assigns to each such
type, the aggregate liquidation preference of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock it intends to mandatorily convert into each such type and other material
terms of the mandatory conversion.
Backstop Registration. Within 10 days of Lockheed Martin's notice regarding
Equity Conversion Securities, GE may notify Lockheed Martin that, with respect
to all or any part of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock being
mandatorily converted and specified in such notice, GE does not wish to retain
the Equity Conversion Securities to be issued in exchange therefor and that it
requests Backstop Registration in respect thereof. GE's notice to Lockheed
Martin will specify those Equity Conversion Securities (if more than one type is
proposed to be issued) as to which it requests Backstop Registration. If GE
fails to elect Backstop Registration within the specified 10-day period, it will
be deemed to have elected to retain all of the Equity Conversion Securities as
proposed in Lockheed Martin's notice.
"Backstop Registration" means an underwritten public offering of the Equity
Conversion Securities relating to those shares of the Lockheed Martin Series A
Preferred Stock held by GE and specified by GE as those which it does not wish
to retain. A Backstop Registration entails the registration for a public
offering of that amount of Equity Conversion Securities, the sale of which in a
public offering must result in proceeds, net of underwriting commissions and
discounts and other offering expenses, not less than the aggregate liquidation
preference of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock for which such Equity
Conversion Securities have been mandatorily converted. The managing underwriter
for a Backstop Registration will be selected by
99
110
Lockheed Martin and must be reasonably satisfactory to GE. Lockheed Martin will
not be permitted to postpone or decline making the Backstop Registration, in
whole or in part, and GE will bear no expenses with respect thereto. Backstop
Registrations will not be counted toward the five demand registrations of GE for
purposes of GE's registration rights under the Standstill Agreement described
above.
In connection with the pricing of any Backstop Registration, the terms of
the Market Preferred, including its dividend rate, may be changed, in the sole
discretion of Lockheed Martin, from the terms thereof as of the Mandatory
Conversion Date, and will be so changed if required by the managing underwriter
so that the net proceeds of the offering after such change will be sufficient,
in the opinion of such underwriter, to equal or exceed the aggregate liquidation
preference of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock mandatorily
converted; provided, however, that no such change may be made if it would have
an adverse effect on GE.
When the Backstop Registration contemplated above has been completed, the
net proceeds thereof will be distributed to GE. Any such offering not
consummated within six months of GE's request therefor will be deemed to have
been abandoned. To the extent the net proceeds of the Backstop Registration are
less than the sum of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Lockheed Martin
Series A Preferred Stock mandatorily converted and the Interest Amount (as
defined below), Lockheed Martin will be obligated to pay to GE an amount in cash
equal to the difference. "Interest Amount" means, with respect to the aggregate
liquidation preference of the Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock
mandatorily converted, interest on such aggregate liquidation preference for
each day, from the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date to and including the
date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum, as published
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as reported by the U.S.
Department of Treasury, for such day on U.S. Treasury Bonds maturing on the date
that is the tenth anniversary of such Mandatory Conversion Date (or if no U.S.
Treasury Bonds mature on such date, then on the date nearest to such date for
which such a maturity exists).
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
There are existing business relationships between Lockheed and Martin
Marietta. These relationships are the product of arms-length negotiations
between the corporations. In connection with the preparation of the unaudited
pro forma combined condensed financial statements, adjustments were made to
eliminate intercompany sales and cost of sales between the corporations for the
periods presented. No adjustments were made to eliminate the related
intercompany profit in ending inventories and the net intercompany receivables
and payables as of and for the periods presented as such amounts are not
material. See Note 4(a) under "NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."
LOCKHEED MARTIN 1995 OMNIBUS PERFORMANCE AWARD PLAN
For a number of years, Lockheed and Martin Marietta have utilized
share-based and cash-based plans designed to assist each corporation in
attracting, motivating, retaining and rewarding talented and experienced
individuals. The Lockheed Board and the Martin Marietta Board each believe that
these plans have encouraged and rewarded participating officers and employees
who have contributed to the success of each corporation. The stockholders of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta are being asked at their respective special
meetings to consider and approve the adoption of a new plan for Lockheed Martin
which provides for certain share-based and cash-based awards to employees of
Lockheed Martin and its subsidiaries.
GENERAL
The Lockheed Martin Board has adopted and the Lockheed Board and the Martin
Marietta Board have approved the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan, subject to the
approval by the respective stockholders of Lockheed and Martin Marietta. If so
approved, the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan will then become effective, and no
further awards will be granted under the current stock incentive plans of
Lockheed or Martin Marietta. All outstanding grants and awards under those
plans, however, will remain in effect and be converted into grants or awards in
or based on Lockheed Martin Common Stock. See "THE REORGANIZATION
100
111
AGREEMENT -- Certain Benefits Matters." A copy of the full text of the Lockheed
Martin Omnibus Plan is set forth in Appendix IV to this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and the following description is qualified in its entirety
by reference to Appendix IV.
Awards under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan may be granted to officers
and other key salaried employees of Lockheed Martin and its subsidiaries. No
individual, however, who beneficially owns stock possessing 5% or more of the
combined voting power of all classes of stock of Lockheed Martin will be
eligible to participate. Lockheed and Martin Marietta estimate that all officers
of Lockheed Martin, including all officers listed under "MANAGEMENT OF LOCKHEED
MARTIN -- Officers" (four of whom are also directors of Lockheed Martin), will
be among those eligible to receive awards, subject to the discretion of the
Committee (as defined below) to determine the particular individuals who, from
time to time, will be selected to receive awards. The number of key salaried
employees of Lockheed Martin and its subsidiaries eligible to receive awards has
not been determined at this time. In addition, neither the individuals who are
to receive awards, the number of awards that will be granted to any individual
or group of individuals, nor the amounts to be payable with respect to awards,
have been determined at this time. The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan will remain
in existence as to all outstanding awards until all such awards are either
exercised or terminated; however, no award can be made after September 21, 2004.
TYPES OF AWARDS
Awards under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan may be in the form of
nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights
(SARs), restricted stock and other share-based incentive awards, or cash-based
incentive awards, such as performance units. Awards may be granted singly or in
combination with other awards, consistent with the terms of the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan. Each award will be evidenced by an award agreement entered into
between Lockheed Martin and the recipient setting forth the specific terms and
conditions applicable to that award. Awards under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus
Plan that are not vested or exercised generally will be nontransferable by a
holder (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) and rights
thereunder generally will be exercisable, during the holder's lifetime, only by
the holder, subject to such exceptions as (consistent with applicable legal
considerations) may be authorized from time to time by the Committee. The
maximum term of unvested or unexercised awards under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus
Plan is ten years after the initial date of grant.
Stock options authorized under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan are rights
to purchase a specified number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock at an
exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on
the date of grant (or date of amendment of the exercise price, if any) during
the period set forth in the award agreement. Stock options that are granted as
incentive stock options will be granted with such additional terms as are
necessary to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The
fair market value of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock for which incentive stock
options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar
year can not exceed $100,000 (measured as of the date of grant) under current
tax law. Other awards are not limited in this manner.
SARs entitle the recipient to receive, upon exercise of the SAR, an amount
(payable in cash and/or stock or other property) equal to the amount of the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock on the date the SAR is exercised (or some lesser ceiling amount) over the
base price of the SAR, which cannot be less than the fair market value of a
share of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock on the date the SAR was awarded or the
exercise price of a related stock option. SARs may be granted on a free-standing
basis, in relation to a stock option or in "tandem" with a stock option, such
that the exercise of either the option or the SAR cancels the recipient's rights
under the tandem award with respect to the number of shares so exercised.
Restricted stock is Lockheed Martin Common Stock issued to the recipient,
typically for minimal lawful consideration and subject to certain risks of
forfeiture and restrictions and limitations on transfer, the vesting of which
may depend on individual or corporate performance, continued service or other
criteria.
Other share-based incentive awards might include phantom stock or units,
performance stock or units, bonus stock or units, dividend equivalent units,
similar securities or rights and other awards payable in or with
101
112
a value derived from or a price related to the fair market value of the Lockheed
Martin Common Stock, payable in Lockheed Martin Common Stock and/or cash, all on
such terms as the Committee may approve. Such awards may be granted, become
vested or be payable based upon the continued employment of a participant, or
upon the attainment of specified corporate or individual performance goals (as
in the case of performance stock or units).
The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan also provides for the grant of long-term
incentive awards that are not denominated nor payable in and do not have a value
derived from the value of or a price related to shares of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock and are payable only in cash ("Cash-Based Awards"). Under recent changes
in the federal tax laws ("Section 162(m)"), Lockheed Martin may not deduct
certain compensation of over $1,000,000 in any year to the Chief Executive
Officer or one of the four other most highly compensated executive officers of
Lockheed Martin ("Executive Officers") unless, among other things, this
compensation qualifies as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m),
and the material terms of the plan for such compensation are stockholder
approved. Cash-Based Awards to Executive Officers are intended to satisfy the
requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). With
reference to the Cash-Based Awards, the material terms of the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan include the eligible class of participants, the performance goal or
goals and the maximum annual amount payable thereunder to any individual
participant.
The eligible class of persons for Cash-Based Awards under the Lockheed
Martin Omnibus Plan is all key salaried employees of Lockheed Martin and its
subsidiaries. Cash-Based Awards granted to Executive Officers thereunder may be
granted only in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m), as set forth
below. Cash-Based Awards to other key salaried employees may or may not be
limited by the requirements of Section 162(m), but will in any event be based on
the performance goals described below.
The performance goals for Cash-Based Awards under the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan are any one or a combination of Earnings Per Share, Return on
Equity, Total Stockholder Return and Cash Flow (each as defined in the Lockheed
Martin Omnibus Plan). These goals will be applied over either consecutive or
rolling cycles of more than one but not more than five fiscal years. Specific
cycles, weightings of more than one performance goal and target levels of
performance upon which actual payments will be based, as well as the award
levels payable upon achievement of specified levels of performance, will be
determined by the Committee (as defined below) not later than the applicable
deadline under Section 162(m) and in any event at a time when achievement of
such targets is substantially uncertain. These variables may change from cycle
to cycle. Appropriate adjustments to the performance goals and targets in
respect of Cash-Based Awards may be made by the Committee based upon objective
criteria in the case of significant acquisitions or dispositions by Lockheed
Martin, extraordinary gains or losses, material changes in accounting principles
or practices, or certain other events that in any case were not anticipated (or
the effects of which were not anticipated) at the time goals were established,
in order to neutralize the effect of such events on the Cash-Based Awards.
Lockheed and Martin Marietta believe that specific performance targets (when
established) are likely to constitute confidential business information, the
disclosure of which may adversely affect Lockheed Martin or mislead the public.
The Committee must certify the achievement of the applicable performance
goals and the actual amount payable to each participant under the Cash-Based
Awards prior to payment. Cash-Based Awards generally will be paid following the
completion of each cycle. The Committee may retain discretion to reduce, but not
increase, the amount payable under a Cash-Based Award to any participant,
notwithstanding the achievement of targeted performance goals. Cash-Based Awards
may be accelerated in the event of a Change in Control of Lockheed Martin, as
described below. The maximum amount payable to any participant under all
Cash-Based Awards during any calendar year will be $3,000,000. There is no
maximum aggregate dollar amount of Cash-Based Awards under the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan.
In addition to Cash-Based Awards, other types of awards under the Lockheed
Martin Omnibus Plan may be granted to qualify as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m). Stock options and SARs that are granted under the Lockheed
Martin Omnibus Plan at a fair market value exercise price are intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation. In addition, other share-based awards
(such as restricted stock
102
113
or performance units) may be granted under the plan to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). With reference to such
other share-based awards intended to so qualify, the material terms of the
Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan are similar to those described above for Cash-Based
Awards: the eligible class of persons is all key salaried employees of Lockheed
Martin and its subsidiaries, and the performance goals are any one or a
combination of Earnings Per Share, Return on Equity, Total Stockholder Return
and Cash Flow. The certification and payout procedures and nature of Committee
discretion with respect to the other share-based awards are substantially the
same as for the Section 162(m) Cash-Based Awards. The maximum number of shares
(or share units) of Lockheed Martin Common Stock that may be subject to all
qualifying share-based awards, including stock options and SARs, that are
granted to any participant during any calendar year will not exceed 500,000
shares (or share units), either individually or in the aggregate.
The Committee also has the authority to grant awards under the Lockheed
Martin Omnibus Plan in substitution for or assumption of stock incentive awards
held by employees of other entities who become employees of Lockheed Martin or a
subsidiary as a result of a merger or acquisition of the entity.
Awards may be granted in connection with the surrender or cancellation of
previously granted awards, or may be amended, under such terms and conditions,
including numbers of shares and exercise price, exercisability or termination,
that are the same as or different from the existing awards, all as the Committee
may approve. Any amendment of an award to reduce its exercise or purchase price
will be subject to stockholder approval, except in the event of a change in
control or upon certain reorganization or recapitalization events or certain
anti-dilutive adjustments, as described below under "Authorized Shares; Other
Provisions; Non-Exclusivity".
ADMINISTRATION; CHANGE IN CONTROL
The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan provides that it will be administered by a
committee of the Lockheed Martin Board ("Committee"), constituted so as to
permit the plan to comply with the "disinterested administration" requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and the "outside director" requirements of
Section 162(m). The Committee will have the authority within the terms and
limitations of the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan to designate recipients of
awards, determine or modify the form, amount, terms, conditions, restrictions,
and limitations of awards, including vesting provisions, terms of exercise of an
award, expiration dates and the treatment of an award in the event of the
retirement, disability, death or other termination of a participant's employment
with Lockheed Martin, and to construe and interpret the Lockheed Martin Omnibus
Plan. Such authority includes the discretion to accelerate, extend and reduce
(subject to the limitations noted above) the exercise price of outstanding
awards.
The Committee is authorized to include specific provisions in award
agreements relating to the treatment of awards in the event of a "Change in
Control" of Lockheed Martin (as defined in the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan) and
is authorized to take certain other actions in such an event. Change in Control
under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan is defined generally to include a change
in ownership involving 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of
Lockheed Martin (or a combined entity), a transfer of substantially all of its
assets, or a change in a majority of the members of its Board of Directors as a
result of any such change or reorganization or a contested election.
The Committee may delegate to the officers or employees of Lockheed Martin
or its subsidiaries the authority to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents and to take actions necessary, advisable or convenient for the
effective administration of the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan. It is intended
generally that the share-based awards under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan and
the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan itself comply with and (as to share-based
awards) be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of participants who are
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and for whom (or whose awards) the
benefits of Rule 16b-3 are intended, satisfy the applicable requirements of Rule
16b-3, so that such persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or
other exemptive rules under that Section. In general, the Cash-Based Awards will
not be subject to Section 16. The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan provides that
neither Lockheed
103
114
Martin nor any member of the Lockheed Martin Board or of the Committee shall
have any liability to any person for any action taken or not taken in good faith
under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Lockheed Martin Board will have the authority to amend, suspend or
discontinue the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan at any time, provided that no such
action will affect any outstanding award in any manner adverse to the
participant without the consent of the participant. The Lockheed Martin Omnibus
Plan may be amended by the Lockheed Martin Board without further stockholder
approval, and no guidelines have been established relating to the nature of the
amendments that may be made to the Plan without stockholder approval. Such
approval, however, may be required (e.g., in the case of amendments that
materially increase the available number of shares under the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan) to preserve the qualifying status of the Lockheed Martin Omnibus
Plan under Rule 16b-3, to satisfy tax rules applicable to performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) or to subsequent grants of incentive stock
options, or to satisfy other applicable legal requirements. Amendments made
without stockholder approval could increase the costs to Lockheed Martin under
the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan, although the amount thereof is not
determinable. Because the Committee will retain the discretion to set and change
the specific targets for each performance period under a performance-based award
intended to be exempt from Section 162(m), stockholder ratification of the
performance goals will be required, in any event at five-year intervals in the
future to exempt awards granted under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan from the
limitations on deductibility.
AUTHORIZED SHARES; OTHER PROVISIONS; NON-EXCLUSIVITY
The number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock that may be issued in
respect of awards under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan will not exceed
12,000,000 shares. An equal number of share units representing share-based
awards exercisable for or payable in cash will also be available. Shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock subject to share-based awards payable in cash or
stock (whether at the discretion of Lockheed Martin or the participant) will
initially be counted against each of the share limit and the share unit limit.
When payment is ultimately made in respect to the award in either shares or
cash, a number of shares or share units relating to the alternative form of
consideration not so paid will be recredited to the applicable limit. The
12,000,000 figure for each of the number of shares and the number of units to be
available under the Plan is based on an estimate of the number of shares and
units that will be subject to awards granted during the first five years of the
term of the Plan.
The number and kind of shares available for grant and the shares subject to
outstanding awards (as well as individual share and share unit limits on awards,
performance targets and exercise prices of awards) may be adjusted to reflect
the effect of a stock dividend, split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, extraordinary dividend or
other distribution or other similar transaction. Any unexercised or
undistributed portion of any expired, cancelled, terminated or forfeited award,
or any alternative form of consideration under an award that is not paid in
connection with the settlement of any portion of an award, will again be
available for award under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan, whether or not the
participant has received benefits of ownership (such as dividends or dividend
equivalents or voting rights) during the period in which the participant's
ownership was restricted or otherwise not vested. Although shares subject to
repriced or cancelled options or SARs will be counted against the individual
share-based award limits to the extent required by Section 162(m), only shares
actually issued or share units actually paid will be charged against the
aggregate share or share unit limits, respectively, under the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan. Upon approval of the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan by the
stockholders and consummation of the Combination, Lockheed Martin intends to
register under the Act the number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan.
Full payment for shares purchased on exercise of any option, along with
payment of any required tax withholding, must be made at the time of such
exercise in cash or, if permitted by the Committee, in exchange for a promissory
note in favor of Lockheed Martin, in shares of stock having a fair market value
equivalent to the exercise price and withholding obligation, or any combination
thereof, or pursuant to such "cashless
104
115
exercise" procedures as may be permitted by the Committee. Any payment required
in respect of other awards may be in such amount and in any lawful form of
consideration as may be authorized by the Committee.
The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan does not impose any minimum vesting
periods on options or other awards. However, shares of stock acquired after
exercise of an option may not, in the ordinary course, be sold before the
expiration of six months from the date of grant. The maximum term of an option
or any other award is ten years.
The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan is not exclusive and does not limit the
authority of the Lockheed Martin Board or its committees to grant awards or
authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Lockheed
Martin Common Stock, under any other plan or authority. The Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan is not expected to be the exclusive cash incentive plan for
eligible persons (including Executive Officers) of Lockheed Martin and its
subsidiaries; other cash incentive plans (such as short-term or operating entity
specific plans) may be retained and/or developed to implement Lockheed Martin's
broader-based compensation objectives and policies. Approval of the adoption of
the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan by the stockholders of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta will not be deemed to constitute an approval of any such other
compensation, plan or authority.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a general description of Federal income tax consequences
to participants and Lockheed Martin relating to nonqualified and incentive stock
options and certain other awards that may be granted under the Lockheed Martin
Omnibus Plan. This discussion does not purport to cover all tax consequences
relating to stock options and other awards.
An optionee will not recognize income upon the grant of a nonqualified
stock option to purchase shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock. Upon exercise
of the option, the optionee will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to
the excess of the fair market value of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock on the
date the option is exercised over the option price for such stock. The tax basis
of the option stock in the hands of the optionee will equal the option price for
the stock plus the amount of ordinary compensation income the optionee
recognizes upon exercise of the option, and the holding period for the stock
will commence on the day the option is exercised. An optionee who sells option
stock will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the
tax basis of the stock and the amount realized on the sale. Such gain or loss
will be long-term if the stock is held for more than one year after exercise.
Lockheed Martin or a subsidiary will be entitled to a deduction equal to the
amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the optionee. The deduction
will be allowed at the same time the optionee recognizes the income.
An optionee will not recognize income upon the grant of an incentive stock
option to purchase shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock, and will not
recognize income upon exercise of the option, provided such optionee was an
employee of Lockheed Martin or a subsidiary at all times from the date of grant
until three months prior to exercise (or one year prior to exercise in the event
of death or disability). Generally, the amount by which the fair market value of
the Lockheed Martin Common Stock on the date of exercise exceeds the option
price will be includable in alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of
determining alternative minimum tax and such amount will be added to the tax
basis of such stock for purposes of determining alternative minimum taxable
income in the year the stock is sold. Where an optionee who has exercised an
incentive stock option sells the shares acquired upon exercise more than two
years after the grant date and more than one year after exercise, long-term
capital gain or loss will be recognized equal to the difference between the
sales price and the option price. An optionee who sells such shares within two
years after the grant date or within one year after exercise will recognize
ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the lesser of the difference
between (a) the option price and the fair market value of such shares on the
date of exercise or (b) the option price and the sales proceeds. Any remaining
gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss. Lockheed Martin or a
subsidiary will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary
compensation income recognized by the optionee in this case. The deduction will
be allowable at the same time the optionee recognizes the income.
105
116
The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized
under the plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and
deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified stock options;
nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture
results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value of
the stock over the purchase price (if any) only at the time the restrictions
lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of
grant); performance awards and dividend equivalents generally are subject to tax
at the time of payment; unconditional stock bonuses are generally subject to tax
measured by the value of the payment received; and Cash-Based Awards generally
are subject to tax at the time of payment; in each of the foregoing cases,
Lockheed Martin will generally have (at the time the participant recognizes
income) a corresponding deduction.
If, as a result of a change in control event, a participant's options or
SARs or other rights become immediately exercisable, or restrictions immediately
lapse on an award, or cash, shares or other benefits covered by another type of
award are immediately vested or issued, the additional economic value, if any,
attributable to the acceleration or issuance may be deemed a "parachute payment"
under Section 280G of the Code. In such case, the participant may be subject to
a 20% non-deductible excise tax as to all or a portion of such economic value,
in addition to any income tax payable. Lockheed Martin will not be entitled to a
deduction for that portion of any parachute payment that is subject to the
excise tax.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing discussion with respect to the
deductibility of compensation under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan, Section
162(m) would render non-deductible to Lockheed Martin certain compensation in
excess of $1,000,000 in any year to certain executive officers of Lockheed
Martin, unless such excess compensation is "performance-based" (as defined) or
is otherwise exempt from Section 162(m). The applicable conditions of an
exemption for a performance-based compensation plan include, among others, a
requirement that the stockholders approve the material terms of the plan. Stock
options, SARs and certain (but not all) other types of awards that may be
granted to Executive Officers as contemplated by the Lockheed Martin Omnibus
Plan are intended to qualify for the exemption for performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m). However, in light of the ambiguities in
Section 162(m) and uncertainties regarding its ultimate interpretation and
application in these circumstances, no assurances can be given that compensation
paid under the Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan to any Executive Officer will in
fact be deductible if it should, together with other non-exempt compensation
paid to such Executive Officer, exceed $1,000,000.
THE RESPECTIVE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF LOCKHEED AND MARTIN MARIETTA EACH
RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR ADOPTION OF THE LOCKHEED MARTIN 1995 OMNIBUS PERFORMANCE
AWARD PLAN.
LOCKHEED MARTIN DIRECTORS DEFERRED STOCK PLAN
Lockheed and Martin Marietta expect that Lockheed Martin's initial
arrangement with respect to remuneration of non-employee Directors will include
an annual retainer of $35,000, in addition to other compensation described
herein. See "MANAGEMENT OF LOCKHEED MARTIN -- Compensation of Directors." The
stockholders of Lockheed Martin are being asked at their respective meetings to
consider and approve the annual accrual of $10,000 of this amount in the form of
share credits payable solely in Lockheed Martin Common Stock by the adoption of
the new Lockheed Martin Directors Plan.
The Lockheed Martin Board has adopted and the Lockheed Board and the Martin
Marietta Board have approved the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan, subject to the
approval by the respective stockholders of Lockheed and Martin Marietta. The
purpose of the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan is to attract and retain persons
of exceptional ability to serve as directors and further align the common
interests of directors and stockholders in enhancing the value of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock. No additional dollars will be paid to directors through
this Plan. Participation is not voluntary. Shares of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock credited under the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan will be in lieu of an
equivalent cash portion of the retainer otherwise payable to directors.
106
117
The following description of the principal features of the Lockheed Martin
Directors Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of
the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan, a copy of which is set forth in Appendix V
to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Under the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan, each eligible director will
receive, on June 1 of each year, share credits equal to the number of shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock that $10,000 would then buy. All share credits will
be fully vested as accrued. Eligible directors include all directors who are
compensated in such capacity through retainers and who are not officers or
employees of Lockheed Martin or a subsidiary. Twenty of the proposed directors
of Lockheed Martin will be eligible to participate in this Plan. The value of
the Lockheed Martin Common Stock for purpose of establishing the number of share
credits will be its fair market value at the time of crediting, based on the
average reported price over the preceding ten trading days. Over the 10-year
term of the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan, an aggregate of 50,000 shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock may be issued to all eligible directors in the
aggregate, in lieu of a portion of their cash retainers. Upon approval of the
Lockheed Martin Directors Plan by the stockholders and consummation of the
Combination, Lockheed Martin intends to register under the Act the number of
shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Lockheed
Martin Directors Plan.
Share credits accrued will constitute bookkeeping entries that will be
settled and paid in an equivalent number of shares of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock upon the director's termination of service on the Lockheed Martin Board. A
director may irrevocably elect to receive his or her accrued share credits in a
lump-sum or in equal annual installments over a period of up to five years after
termination of service. However, in the case of a director's termination of
service as a result of death or disability, the share credits will be paid in a
lump-sum after a director's service as a director ends. During the period the
director's interest is represented by share credits, a director will have no
voting, dividend or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares to
be issued in his or her name, but will be entitled to additional share credits
representing dividend equivalents based on cash distributions on the underlying
shares (converted to share credits based on the market value of shares on the
applicable dividend payment dates). The number of share credits and shares
subject to the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan are subject to appropriate
adjustment in event of stock split, recapitalization or other reorganization.
If the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan had been in effect in 1994 and the
Combination had occurred as currently contemplated but as of January 1, 1994,
the annual benefit to each eligible director and to all 20 eligible directors as
a group, based on the average closing prices of Lockheed and Martin Marietta
Common Stock (converted on a pro forma basis based on shares then outstanding)
as of June 1, 1994, would have been 243 share credits (calculated based on the
$10,000 annual share credit divided by a pro forma share price of $41.15 per
share) and 4,860 share credits in the aggregate, respectively, prior to
crediting for any dividend equivalents thereon from June 1 to December 31, 1994.
The compensation of directors, including the Lockheed Martin Directors
Plan, may be amended from time to time by the Lockheed Martin Board in its sole
discretion, without stockholder approval, but subject to applicable legal
requirements. No guidelines have been established relating to the nature of the
amendments that may be made to the Lockheed Martin Directors Plan without
stockholder approval, but such approval may be required to preserve the
qualifying status of the Plan under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
Amendments made without stockholder approval could increase the costs of the
Lockheed Martin Directors Plan, although the amount thereof is not determinable.
Consent of the director will be required to revoke or alter an outstanding award
in a manner unfavorable to such director. The term of the Lockheed Martin
Directors Plan is 10 years, subject to earlier termination by the Lockheed
Martin Board.
In general, under current federal income tax laws, share credits under the
Lockheed Martin Directors Plan will be includible in taxable income of an
eligible director and deductible to Lockheed Martin based on the fair market
value of the Lockheed Martin Common Stock at the time or times the share credits
are paid in shares to a director following termination of service.
THE RESPECTIVE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF LOCKHEED AND MARTIN MARIETTA EACH

PLAN.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION, dated as of August 29, 1994
(this "Agreement"), is among Parent Corporation* ("Parent"), Martin Marietta
Corporation ("Martin Marietta") and Lockheed Corporation ("Lockheed"), as
amended as of February 7, 1995.
WHEREAS, Martin Marietta is a corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Maryland and Lockheed is a corporation duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and
WHEREAS, Parent is a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State
of Maryland, with Martin Marietta and Lockheed each owning one-half of the
outstanding capital stock of Parent; and
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Martin Marietta and Lockheed deem it
advisable and in the best interest of their respective stockholders that each
corporation become a subsidiary of Parent pursuant to the mergers hereafter
provided for, and desire to make certain representations, warranties and
agreements in connection with such mergers;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and
covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGERS
SECTION 1.1 Charter and Bylaws of Parent. The Charter and Bylaws of
Parent shall be amended prior to the Merger Date (as hereinafter defined) to be
in substantially the form of Exhibits A and B hereto, respectively, and the name
of Parent shall be changed to Lockheed Martin Corporation. From the date hereof
until the Merger Date, Martin Marietta and Lockheed shall consult with each
other prior to causing or permitting Parent to take any action and neither shall
cause or permit Parent to take any action inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement without the written consent of the other.
SECTION 1.2 Atlantic Sub Merger. (a) Martin Marietta and Lockheed will
cause Parent to form a wholly owned subsidiary named Atlantic Sub, Inc.
("Atlantic Sub") under the laws of the State of Maryland. Atlantic Sub will be
formed solely to facilitate the Atlantic Sub Merger referred to below and will
conduct no business or activity other than in connection with the Atlantic Sub
Merger. Martin Marietta and Lockheed will cause Parent to cause Atlantic Sub to
execute and deliver, and Martin Marietta agrees to execute and deliver and to
submit to its stockholders for approval, together with this Agreement in
accordance with Article II, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Atlantic Sub
Merger Agreement") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C,
providing for the merger of Atlantic Sub with and into Martin Marietta (the
"Atlantic Sub Merger"). Martin Marietta shall be the surviving corporation in
the Atlantic Sub Merger and as a result thereof shall become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent.
(b) Pursuant to the Atlantic Sub Merger:
(i) each share of Martin Marietta Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Atlantic Sub Merger, other than any shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock
owned by Lockheed or any Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) of Lockheed,
shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock");
(ii) each share of Martin Marietta Preferred Stock (as hereinafter
defined) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Atlantic Sub Merger, other than any shares of Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock owned by Lockheed or any Subsidiary of Lockheed, shall be converted
into and become
- ---------------
* On October 3, 1994, the name Parent Corporation was changed to Lockheed Martin
Corporation.
I-1
129
one share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Parent
("Parent Preferred Stock"); and
(iii) each share of Martin Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta
Preferred Stock owned by Lockheed or any Subsidiary of Lockheed shall be
cancelled and cease to exist immediately upon the effective time of the
Atlantic Sub Merger without any payment being made in respect thereof.
(c) The parties will take such action as may be necessary to cause Parent
to reserve sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock following the Mergers (as
hereinafter defined) to permit conversion of the Parent Preferred Stock and
delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock upon conversion thereof following the
Atlantic Sub Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Martin Marietta shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Atlantic Sub
Merger to be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Atlantic Sub Merger
Agreement. Martin Marietta and Lockheed will cause Parent to execute a formal
written consent under Section 2-505 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the
"Maryland Statute"), as the sole stockholder of Atlantic Sub, to the execution,
delivery and performance of the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement by Atlantic Sub.
SECTION 1.3 Pacific Sub Merger. (a) Lockheed and Martin Marietta will
cause Parent to form a wholly owned subsidiary named Pacific Sub, Inc. ("Pacific
Sub") under the laws of the State of Delaware. Pacific Sub will be formed solely
to facilitate the Pacific Sub Merger referred to below and will conduct no
business or activity other than in connection with the Pacific Sub Merger.
Lockheed and Martin Marietta will cause Parent to cause Pacific Sub to execute
and deliver, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Lockheed agrees to execute and deliver and to submit to its stockholders for
adoption and approval, together with this Agreement in accordance with Article
II, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Pacific Sub Merger Agreement") in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, providing for the merger of
Pacific Sub with and into Lockheed (the "Pacific Sub Merger"). Lockheed shall be
the surviving corporation in the Pacific Sub Merger and as a result thereof
shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
(b) Pursuant to the Pacific Sub Merger:
(i) each share of Lockheed Common Stock (as hereinafter defined)
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Pacific Sub
Merger, other than any shares of Lockheed Common Stock owned by Martin
Marietta or any Subsidiary of Martin Marietta or held in the treasury of
Lockheed, shall be converted into and become the right to receive 1.63
shares of Parent Common Stock; and
(ii) each share of Lockheed Common Stock owned by Martin Marietta or
any Subsidiary of Martin Marietta or held in the treasury of Lockheed shall
be cancelled and cease to exist immediately upon the effective time of the
Pacific Sub Merger without any payment being made in respect thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will
be issued as a result of the Pacific Sub Merger. In lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares, cash payments will be made to holders of Lockheed Common
Stock in respect of any fractional share that would otherwise be issuable in an
amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock
multiplied by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on the last business day preceding the Merger
Date if such stock is then being traded, including without limitation trading on
a "when issued" basis, and otherwise shall be the closing price on the first
business day that such stock is traded. No such holder shall be entitled to
dividends, voting rights, or any other stockholder right in respect of any
fractional share. For this purpose, shares held of record by any particular
stockholder of Lockheed and represented by two or more certificates may be
aggregated.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lockheed shall
use its reasonable efforts to cause the Pacific Sub Merger to be consummated in
accordance with the terms of the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement. Lockheed and
Martin Marietta will cause Parent to execute a formal written consent under
Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Statute"), as
the sole stockholder of Pacific Sub, to the execution, delivery and performance
of the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement by Pacific Sub.
I-2
130
SECTION 1.4 Exchange of Certificates. Except as set forth above, from and
after the Merger Date, each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to
the Merger Date represented outstanding shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock,
Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive in exchange therefor, upon surrender thereof to an exchange agent to be
selected by the parties, a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock into which such
holder's shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock, Lockheed Common Stock or Martin
Marietta Preferred Stock were converted. No holder of a certificate or
certificates which immediately prior to the Merger Date represented shares of
Martin Marietta Common Stock, Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution from
Parent until surrender of such holder's certificate or certificates for a
certificate or certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock (in the
case of holders of Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Common Stock) or
Parent Preferred Stock (in the case of holders of Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock). Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount of any
dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became
payable, but which were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the
number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as the
case may be, represented by the certificates issued upon such surrender. From
and after the Merger Date, Parent shall, however, be entitled to treat such
certificates for shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock, Lockheed Common Stock
or Martin Marietta Preferred Stock which have not yet been surrendered for
exchange as evidencing the ownership of the number of shares of Parent Common
Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as the case may be, into which the shares of
Martin Marietta Common Stock, Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock represented by such certificates shall have been converted,
notwithstanding any failure to surrender such certificates. If any certificate
for shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as the case may be,
is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate for shares of
Martin Marietta Common Stock, Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of
such issuance that the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or
other tax required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such shares of
Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as the case may be, in a name
other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or
shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent or its agent that such tax has
been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Martin
Marietta, Lockheed or Parent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Martin
Marietta Common Stock, Lockheed Common Stock or Martin Marietta Preferred Stock
for any shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as the case may
be (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), delivered to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
SECTION 1.5 Cancellation of Parent Stock. The shares of the capital stock
of Parent owned by Martin Marietta and Lockheed immediately prior to the Merger
Date will be cancelled immediately upon consummation of the Atlantic Sub Merger
and the Pacific Sub Merger, respectively. The Atlantic Sub Merger and the
Pacific Sub Merger are sometimes together referred to as the "Mergers" and the
Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement and the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement are sometimes
together referred to as the "Merger Agreements."
ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL
Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, this Agreement,
together with the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, shall be submitted for approval to the holders of shares
of Martin Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta Preferred Stock, all of whom
shall vote together as a single class at a meeting to be duly held for this
purpose by Martin Marietta (the "Martin Marietta Meeting"), and this Agreement,
together with the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement, shall be submitted for adoption
and approval to the holders of shares of Lockheed Common Stock at a meeting to
be duly held for this purpose by Lockheed (the "Lockheed Meeting"). Martin
Marietta and Lockheed shall coordinate and cooperate with respect to the timing
of such meetings and shall endeavor to hold such meetings on the same day and as
soon as practicable after the date hereof. Subject to the applicable fiduciary
duties of
I-3
131
their respective directors, Martin Marietta and Lockheed shall recommend that
their respective stockholders approve this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and such recommendation shall be contained in the Joint
Proxy Statement referred to in Sections 4.11 and 5.11. On the first business day
on or by which (a) this Agreement and the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement have
been duly approved by the requisite vote of the holders of shares of Martin
Marietta Common Stock and Martin Marietta Preferred Stock, (b) this Agreement
and the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement have been duly adopted and approved by the
requisite vote of the holders of shares of Lockheed Common Stock and (c) the
closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger
Agreements shall have occurred, or such later date as shall be agreed upon by
Martin Marietta and Lockheed, Articles of Merger (in the case of the Atlantic
Sub Merger) and a Certificate of Merger (in the case of the Pacific Sub Merger)
relating to the Mergers shall be filed in accordance with the Maryland Statute
and the Delaware Statute, respectively, and the Mergers shall become effective
simultaneously in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreements (such time
and date are referred to as the "Merger Date").
ARTICLE III
BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF PARENT,
MARTIN MARIETTA AND LOCKHEED;
OFFICERS OF MARTIN MARIETTA AND LOCKHEED
It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that Martin Marietta and
Lockheed, as subsidiaries of Parent, will each continue (so far as practicable
and consistent with the basic purposes of this Agreement) the separate

management may from time to time deem appropriate. With that objective in mind,

Nominating Committee.
It is the intent of the parties that membership on the major committees of

designees of Martin Marietta and Lockheed.
SECTION 3.2 Martin Marietta Board of Directors; Officers. On the Merger
Date, the Board of Directors of Martin Marietta shall include those current
directors of Martin Marietta who are designated as such by the Chief Executive
Officer of Martin Marietta. The officers of Martin Marietta immediately prior to
the Merger Date will continue in such capacities immediately following the
Merger Date.
SECTION 3.3 Lockheed Board of Directors; Officers. On the Merger Date,
the Board of Directors of Lockheed shall include those current directors of
Lockheed who are designated as such by the Chief Executive Officer of Lockheed.
The officers of Lockheed immediately prior to the Merger Date will continue in
such capacities immediately following the Merger Date.
SECTION 3.4 Parent Dividend. It is the intention of the parties that the
initial quarterly dividend with respect to Parent stock shall be at the annual
rate of $1.40 per share, subject to approval and declaration by the Board of
Directors of Parent.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MARTIN MARIETTA
Martin Marietta represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Lockheed as
follows (except as disclosed in a schedule dated the date hereof and furnished
to Lockheed, hereafter referred to as the "Martin Marietta Schedule"):
SECTION 4.1 Organization, Qualification, Etc. Martin Marietta is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its state of incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to own
its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except for jurisdictions in which such
failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, results of
operations or financial condition of Martin Marietta and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole. The copies of Martin Marietta's charter and bylaws which have been
delivered to Lockheed are complete and correct and in full force and effect on
the date hereof. Each of Martin Marietta's Significant Subsidiaries (as
hereinafter defined) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, has the
corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business
as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification, except for jurisdictions in
which such failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the
business, results of operations or financial condition of Martin Marietta and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. All the outstanding shares of capital stock
of Martin Marietta's Significant Subsidiaries are validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and (except as set forth in the next sentence) are owned by
Martin Marietta, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all liens, claims,
charges or encumbrances, except for restrictions contained in credit agreements
and similar instruments to which Martin Marietta is a party under which no event
of default has occurred or arisen. Martin Marietta owns approximately 81% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. There are
no existing options, rights of first refusal, preemptive rights, calls or
commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or
other securities of any Subsidiary of Martin Marietta other than rights of
refusal and preemptive rights held by Martin Marietta with respect to certain
Subsidiaries.
SECTION 4.2 Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of Martin
Marietta consists of 550,000,000 shares, divided into 20,000,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock"), 30,000,000 shares of Series Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share
("Martin Marietta Series Preferred Stock"), and 500,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Martin Marietta Common Stock"). As of July
31, 1994, 20,000,000 shares of Martin Marietta Preferred Stock, no shares of
Martin Marietta Series Preferred Stock and 95,948,640 shares of Martin Marietta
Common Stock were outstanding. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of
Martin Marietta have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
As of July 31, 1994, there were no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants,
rights or other arrangements or commitments obligating Martin Marietta to issue
any shares of its capital stock ("Martin Marietta Options") other than:

(b) options to acquire 4,706,450 shares of Martin Marietta Common
Stock granted on or prior to July 31, 1994 pursuant to employee incentive
and benefit plans; and
(c) Martin Marietta's dividend reinvestment plan.
Since July 31, 1994 (A) no shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock or Martin
Marietta Preferred Stock have been issued except issuances of Martin Marietta
Common Stock upon the exercise of Martin Marietta Options referred to in clause
(b) above, and (B) no Martin Marietta Options have been authorized, issued or
granted, except pursuant to Martin Marietta's Shareholder Rights Agreement,

133
SECTION 4.3 Corporate Authority Relative to this Agreement; No
Violation. Martin Marietta has the corporate power to enter into this Agreement
and the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement, and to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the
Board of Directors of Martin Marietta and, except for the approval of its
stockholders, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Martin Marietta are
necessary to authorize this Agreement, the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Board of Directors of Martin
Marietta has determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement are in the best interests of Martin Marietta
and its stockholders and to recommend to such stockholders that they vote in
favor thereof. This Agreement and the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement have been
duly and validly executed and delivered by Martin Marietta and, assuming this
Agreement and the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement constitute valid and binding
Agreements of the other parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement and the
Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement constitute valid and binding agreements of Martin
Marietta, enforceable against Martin Marietta in accordance with their
respective terms (except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally, or by principles governing the availability of
equitable remedies). Martin Marietta is not subject to or obligated under any
charter, bylaw or contract provision or any license, franchise or permit, or
subject to any order or decree, which would be breached or violated by its
executing or, subject to the approval of its stockholders, carrying out this
Agreement or the Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement, except for any breaches or
violations which individually or in the aggregate would not have a material
adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of
Martin Marietta and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Other than in connection
with or in compliance with the provisions of the Maryland Statute, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act"), Section 4043 of ERISA (as
hereinafter defined), any non-United States competition, antitrust and
investment laws, and the securities or blue sky laws of the various states

previously furnished to Lockheed true and complete copies of:

operations or financial condition of Lockheed and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. The copies of Lockheed's certificate of incorporation and bylaws which

Violation. Lockheed has the corporate power to enter into this Agreement and
the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement, and to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Pacific Sub
Merger Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of
Lockheed and, except for the approval of its stockholders, no other corporate
proceedings on the part of Lockheed are necessary to authorize this Agreement,
the Pacific Sub Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and

or decree, which would be breached or violated by its executing or, subject to
the approval of its stockholders, carrying out this Agreement or the Pacific Sub
Merger Agreement, except for any breaches or violations which individually or in

such information in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, dated March
29, 1994, between Martin Marietta and Lockheed (the "Confidentiality
Agreement"), and, subject to applicable law, will not disclose any such
information to any other party. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, no party shall be obligated to make any disclosure in violation

pertaining to the treatment of classified information. If for any reason the
Mergers are not consummated, each of Martin Marietta and Lockheed shall return

extracts therefrom) obtained by it or its representatives pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the negotiations hereof to the other party and
will thereafter continue to treat as confidential all such information and shall
not use, or knowingly permit any other party to use, any such information.
SECTION 6.3 Cooperation. Martin Marietta and Lockheed shall together, or
pursuant to an allocation of responsibility to be agreed upon between them:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC as soon as is reasonably practicable
the Joint Proxy Statement and a registration statement of Parent (the

contemplated in this
I-15
143
Agreement and cooperate in making any such filings promptly and in seeking

requested submissions under the HSR Act; and
(f) cooperate with one another in order to lift any injunctions or
remove any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions

materially onerous conditions in order to obtain any governmental approval.
Subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.2, Martin Marietta and
Lockheed shall each furnish to one another and to one another's counsel all such
information as may be required in order to effect the foregoing actions and each
represents and warrants to the other that no information furnished by it in

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated in order to make any information so furnished, in light of the
circumstances under which it is so furnished, not misleading.
SECTION 6.4 Affiliate Agreements. Each of Martin Marietta and Lockheed
(each of which is referred to in this Section 6.4 as a "Subject Company") shall,
prior to the Merger Date, cause to be delivered to the other a list, reviewed by
its counsel, identifying all persons who are, in its opinion, at the time of the
meeting of the Subject Company's stockholders to be held in accordance with
Article II, "affiliates" of the Subject Company for purposes of Rule 145
promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. Each Subject Company shall
furnish such information and documents as the other may reasonably request for
the purpose of reviewing such list. Each Subject Company shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause each person who is identified as an "affiliate" in
the list furnished pursuant to this Section 6.4 to execute a written agreement
on or prior to the Merger Date, in a form satisfactory to the other (an
"Affiliate Agreement"), that such person (a) will not offer or sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued to such person
pursuant to the Mergers in violation of the Securities Act or the rules or
regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and (b) will not offer or sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock, Martin
Marietta Preferred Stock, Lockheed Common Stock, Parent Common Stock or Parent
Preferred Stock in a manner or at a time that will disqualify Parent from
accounting for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance
with the pooling of interests method of accounting.
SECTION 6.5 Employee Stock Options, Incentive and Benefit Plans. (a)
Simultaneously with the Atlantic Sub Merger, (i) each outstanding option to
purchase or acquire a share of Martin Marietta Common Stock under option plans
presently maintained by Martin Marietta ("Martin Marietta Option Plans") shall
be converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of Parent Common
Stock which could have been obtained upon the exercise of each such option at
the same exercise price, and all references in each such option to Martin
Marietta shall be deemed to refer to Parent, where appropriate, (ii) each
outstanding stock appreciation right under the Martin Marietta Option Plans
("Martin Marietta SAR") to receive a cash payment based on the Martin Marietta
Common Stock shall be converted into a stock appreciation right to receive a
cash payment based on the Parent Common Stock, for the same number of shares and
at the same base price as applied to the Martin Marietta SAR, and all references
in each Martin Marietta SAR to Martin Marietta shall be deemed to refer to
Parent, where appropriate, (iii) Parent shall assume the obligations of Martin
Marietta under the Martin Marietta Option Plans and (iv) each outstanding award
made pursuant to Martin Marietta's Amended and Restated Long Term Performance
Incentive Compensation Plan and its predecessor plans shall be amended or
converted into a similar instrument of Parent, in either case with such
adjustments to the terms of such awards, including but not limited to, the
formula setting forth the redemption value of such awards as are appropriate to
preserve the value inherent in such awards with no detrimental
I-16
144
effects on the holders thereof without their consent. Subject to stockholder
approval of the 1994 Parent Stock Plan (as hereinafter defined), no additional
options or awards shall be granted pursuant to the Martin Marietta Option Plans
after the Atlantic Sub Merger.
(b) Simultaneously with the Pacific Sub Merger, (i) each outstanding option
(and related stock appreciation right ("Lockheed SAR"), if any) to purchase or
acquire a share of Lockheed Common Stock under option plans presently maintained
by Lockheed ("Lockheed Option Plans") shall be converted into an option
(together with a related stock appreciation right of Parent, if applicable), to
purchase 1.63 times the number of shares of Parent Common Stock which could have
been obtained upon the exercise of each such option, at an exercise price per
share equal to the exercise price for each such share of Lockheed Common Stock
subject to an option (and related Lockheed SAR, if any) under the Lockheed
Option Plans divided by 1.63, and all references in each such option (and
related Lockheed SAR, if any) to Lockheed shall be deemed to refer to Parent,
where appropriate, and (ii) Parent shall assume the obligations of Lockheed
under the Lockheed Option Plans. Subject to stockholder approval of the 1994
Parent Stock Plan, no additional options or awards shall be granted pursuant to
the Lockheed Option Plans after the Pacific Sub Merger.
(c) Martin Marietta and Lockheed agree that effective as of the Merger
Date, and subject to approval by the stockholders of Martin Marietta and
Lockheed, Parent shall adopt an omnibus securities award plan (the "1994 Parent
Stock Plan") for the purpose of granting stock options, restricted stock, stock
appreciation rights or other stock-based incentive awards to such employees of
Parent, Martin Marietta and Lockheed, and their respective Subsidiaries, in such
amounts and upon such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of Parent shall, in its sole discretion, determine (subject
to the provisions of the 1994 Parent Stock Plan).
(d) Martin Marietta and Lockheed agree that each of their respective stock
option, employee incentive and benefit plans, programs and arrangements (in
addition to those for non-employee directors) and in the case of Martin
Marietta, its dividend reinvestment plan, shall be amended, to the extent
necessary or appropriate, to reflect the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) the conversion of shares of Martin
Marietta Common Stock or Lockheed Common Stock held pursuant to such benefit
plans, programs or arrangements into shares of Parent Common Stock on a basis
consistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) the
appointment of appropriate committees consisting of directors of Martin Marietta
or Lockheed, as the case may be, or Parent, if appropriate, who are not
participants in such plans, programs or arrangements. The actions to be taken by
Martin Marietta and Lockheed pursuant to this section 6.5(d) shall include the
submission of the amendments to the plans, programs or arrangements referred to
herein to their respective stockholders at the special meetings to consider this
Agreement and the Merger Agreements, if such submission is determined to be
necessary or advisable by counsel to Martin Marietta or Lockheed after
consultation with one another; provided, however, that such approval shall not
be a condition to the consummation of the Mergers.
(e) Parent shall (i) reserve for issuance the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock that will become subject to the benefit plans, programs and
agreements referred to in this Section 6.5, and (ii) issue or cause to be issued
the appropriate number of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to such
agreements, plans and programs, upon the exercise or maturation of rights
existing thereunder on the Merger Date or thereafter granted or awarded.
SECTION 6.6 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions
provided herein, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable efforts to
take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law and regulation to
consummate and make effective the Mergers in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Merger Agreements, subject, however, to the vote of
stockholders of Martin Marietta and Lockheed in accordance with Article II. In
case at any time after the Merger Date any further action is necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or the Merger Agreements,
the proper officers or directors of Martin Marietta and Lockheed shall take all
such necessary action.
SECTION 6.7 No Solicitation. Unless and until this Agreement shall have
been terminated by either party pursuant to Section 8.1, neither Martin Marietta
nor Lockheed nor any of their respective officers,
I-17
145
directors or agents shall directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit or initiate
discussions or negotiations with, or engage in negotiations or discussions with,

or an associate of either Martin Marietta or Lockheed) concerning any merger,
sale of substantial assets, sale of shares of capital stock or similar
transactions involving Martin Marietta or Lockheed or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or divisions, unless its Board of Directors, upon written advice of
counsel, has determined that it is in the best interests of such Company's
stockholders to do so. In the event Martin Marietta or Lockheed shall receive
any proposal concerning any such transaction, such party shall promptly advise
the other as to such proposal and as to any discussions conducted in connection
therewith.
SECTION 6.8 Public Announcements. Martin Marietta and Lockheed will
consult with each other before issuing any press release relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein and shall not issue any such
press release prior to such consultation, except as may be required by law or by
obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities
exchange.
SECTION 6.9 Agreements with Respect to Martin Marietta Common Stock and
Lockheed Common Stock. (a) Martin Marietta agrees that it will, and will use

will each use reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to each other letters
from their respective independent accountants, dated a date within two business

ARTICLE VI
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF STOCK
The total number of shares of stock of all classes which the Corporation
has authority to issue is 820,000,000 shares, divided into 20,000,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, 50,000,000 shares of Series
Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, and 750,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, $1.00 par value per share. The aggregate par value of all sharers of all
classes is $820,000,000.00.
A description of each class with the preferences, conversion and other
rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications
and terms and conditions of redemption of each class, is as follows:
A. Series A Preferred Stock
SECTION 1. Designation, Amount and Rank. The class of Preferred Stock
shall be designated "Series A Preferred Stock" and the authorized number of
shares constituting such class shall be 20,000,000. The Series A Preferred Stock
shall rank on a parity as to dividends and as to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up with any other class of Preferred Stock
which the Corporation may in the future issue and which by its terms is not
stated to rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred
Stock shall rank senior, as to dividends and to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up to all other classes or series of stock
of the Corporation which are currently outstanding or which the Corporation may
in the future issue.
SECTION 2. Dividends. (a) The holders of outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, subject to the rights of holders of
any class of Preferred Stock which the Corporation may in the future issue which
ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of dividends, and
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor, cumulative preferential cash dividends at the per share rate
of $.75 for each of the quarters ending on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and no more, payable in arrears on each
succeeding April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1, respectively (each such
date being hereinafter referred to as a "Preferred Dividend Payment Date")
commencing on that Preferred Dividend Payment Date which next follows the
issuance of such shares. Dividends shall (i) commence to accrue (whether or not
declared and whether or not funds are
I-A-2
153
legally available for payment) and shall be cumulative on the Series A Preferred
Stock from and after the last dividend payment date with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock of Martin Marietta Corporation provided that all dividends have
been paid through such last dividend payment date and (ii) shall compound
quarterly, to the extent they are unpaid, at the rate of 6% per annum computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Preferred
Dividend Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then the Preferred Dividend
Payment Date shall be on the next succeeding Business Day. Each such dividend
will be payable to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the
Corporation on the record dates, not less than 10 nor more than 50 days
preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of
Directors. As used herein, the term "Business Day" shall mean any day other than
a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New
York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close or a day
which is or is declared a national or New York State holiday.
(b) Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled
to any dividends on such shares, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in
excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided.
(c) (i) So long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain
outstanding, no dividend or distribution whatsoever shall be declared or paid
upon or set apart for any class of stock or series thereof ranking junior to the
Series A Preferred Stock in payment of dividends nor shall any shares of any
class of stock or series thereof ranking junior to or on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Stock in payment of dividends be redeemed or purchased by the
Corporation or any subsidiary thereof nor shall any moneys be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for redemption or purchase of any shares of any
class of stock or series thereof ranking junior to or on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Stock in payment of dividends, unless, in each such instance,
full dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for all
past dividend periods shall have been paid at the rate fixed therefor, the
dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the then
current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid or declared and
sufficient funds set aside for payment thereof and all redemption payments with
respect to the Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall have become
obligated to make shall have been made. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be permitted to purchase or acquire
any preferred or common stock purchase rights of the Corporation ("Rights")
distributed pursuant to any rights agreements to which it may be a party (the
"Rights Agreement").
(ii) No dividend shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any share
of Series A Preferred Stock for any dividend period unless at the same time (a)
a like proportionate dividend for the same dividend period shall be paid upon or
declared or set apart for all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and (b) there shall have been
paid upon or declared or set aside for all shares of any other class of stock or
series thereof, if any, then outstanding and ranking on a parity with the Series
A Preferred Stock in payment of dividends, for the same dividend period of the
Series A Preferred Stock, dividends ratably in proportion to the respective
dividend rates fixed for the Series A Preferred Stock and said parity stock. No
dividend shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any shares of any other
class of stock or series thereof, if any, then outstanding and ranking on a
parity with Series A Preferred Stock in payment of dividends for any dividend
period, unless there shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all
shares then outstanding of Series A Preferred Stock, for the same dividend
period, dividends ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed
for the Series A Preferred Stock and said parity stock.
SECTION 3. Redemption. (a) On or after the fifth anniversary of April 2,
1993 (the "Initial Issuance Date"), the Corporation, at its option, may redeem
any or all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a redemption price of $50 per
share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or
not declared and whether or not funds are legally available for payment) to and
including the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"), but only if the
Average Closing Price (as defined in Section 4(e)(vii) below) of the Common
Stock (calculated as of the record date fixed in accordance with Section 3(c)
for notifying holders of such redemption) equals or exceeds the applicable
percentage of the
I-A-3
154
Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4(a)) set forth below opposite the
anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date that occurs on or that immediately
preceded such record date:
ANNIVERSARY OF
INITIAL PERCENTAGE OF
ISSUANCE DATE CONVERSION PRICE
--------------- ----------------
5..................................................................... 130%
6..................................................................... 122.5%
7..................................................................... 115.0%
8..................................................................... 107.5%
9 and thereafter...................................................... 100%
Immediately prior to authorizing or making any such redemption with respect
to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation, by resolution of its Board of
Directors, shall, to the extent of any funds legally available therefor, declare
a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable on the redemption date in an
amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
as of such date and, if the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally
available therefor to declare and pay all dividends accrued at the time of such
redemption, then (i) the dividend shall be paid pro rata as among the Series A
Preferred Stock and any other Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to
dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii),
and (ii) an amount equal to any remaining accrued and unpaid dividends shall be
added to the redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) If less than all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (subject to
rounding to avoid fractional shares) as nearly as practicable or by lot, or by
such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable.
(c) Notice of any redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption to the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses appearing on the stock books
of the Corporation. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall fix a record
date for determining holders of record who are entitled to receive notice of any
redemption, not more than 10 days prior to the mailing of such notice. Notice so
mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not
actually received. Such notice shall state: (i) the date fixed for redemption;
(ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) whether the Redemption Price will be paid in
cash or, pursuant to Section 3(d) below, in Common Stock; (iv) that the holder
has the right to convert such shares into Common Stock until the close of
business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related redemption
date, together with a statement of the then effective Conversion Price and the
place where certificates for such shares may be surrendered for conversion; (v)
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and if less than
all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares
to be so redeemed from such holder; (vi) the place where certificates for such
shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; (vii) that
after the close of business on such date fixed for redemption the shares to be
redeemed shall not accrue dividends; and (viii) if the Redemption Price will be
paid in Common Stock, that the holder has the right to cause a Backstop
Registration of such Common Stock as described below. Upon surrender in
accordance with the aforesaid notice of the certificate for any shares of Series
A Preferred Stock so redeemed (duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate
instruments of transfer, if so required by the Corporation in such notice), the
holders of record of such shares shall be entitled to receive the Redemption
Price, without interest. In case fewer than all the shares represented by any
such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing
the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.
(d) At the option of the Corporation, if notice of redemption is mailed as
aforesaid, and if prior to the date fixed for redemption funds or shares of
Common Stock sufficient to pay in full the Redemption Price are deposited in
trust, for the account of the holders of the shares to be redeemed, with a bank
or trust company named in such notice doing business in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York and having capital surplus
and undivided profits of at least $500 million (which bank or trust company also
may be the transfer agent and/or paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock),
notwithstanding the fact that
I-A-4
155
any certificate(s) for shares called for redemption shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, on and after such date of deposit the shares
represented thereby so called for redemption shall be deemed to be no longer
outstanding, and all rights of the holders of such shares as stockholders of the
Corporation shall cease, except the right of the holders thereof to convert such
shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 at any time prior to the
close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related
redemption date and the right of the holders thereof to receive out of the funds
or shares of Common Stock so deposited in trust the Redemption Price, without
interest, upon surrender of the certificate(s) representing such shares. Any
funds or shares of Common Stock so deposited with such bank or trust company in
respect of shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted before the close of
business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related redemption
date shall be returned to the Corporation upon such conversion. Any funds or
shares of Common Stock so deposited with such bank or trust company which shall
remain unclaimed by the holders of shares called for redemption at the end of
two years after the related redemption date shall be repaid to the Corporation,
on demand, and thereafter the holder of any such shares shall look only to the
Corporation for the payment, without interest thereon, of the Redemption Price.
(e) (i) In lieu of paying the Redemption Price in cash, the Corporation
may, at its sole option, pay such Redemption Price in shares of Common Stock.
(ii) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable in lieu of a cash
payment of the Redemption Price shall be the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common
Stock (which shares of Common Stock shall consist of authorized but unissued
shares) as shall have an aggregate Specified Value (as defined below) as of the
redemption date equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed. The shares to be redeemed shall be
selected pro rata from each holder; provided that, if the number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock held by a holder which are subject to redemption as
aforesaid is not a whole number, the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock held by such holder to be redeemed as aforesaid shall be rounded upward to
the nearest whole number. The shares of Common Stock issuable on any redemption
to be paid in Common Stock will be delivered to the Corporation for the account
of such holders. By their acceptance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each
holder thereof shall be deemed (i) to have accepted the appointment of the
Corporation to act as such referred to below and (ii) to have appointed the
Corporation as its attorney-in-fact for purposes of making any endorsements on
certificates for shares of Common Stock received by such holder upon redemption
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the extent any such endorsement is
necessary or appropriate for purposes of effecting the sale of such shares of
Common Stock in a Backstop Registration, as described below. No fractional
shares of Common Stock will be issued upon redemption. A holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive such a
fractional share shall, in lieu thereof, receive cash in an amount equal to the
same fraction of the Specified Value.
(iii) For purposes hereof, "Specified Value" means the Average Closing
Price (as defined in Section 4(e)(vii)) per share of Common Stock as of the
applicable redemption date.
(iv) Before any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive
certificates for shares of Common Stock in respect of the redemption of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock (or cash representing fractional share settlements
in respect thereof) such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly endorsed if required by the
Corporation, at the office of the Corporation and, if certificates for shares of
Common Stock are to be received by such holder, shall state in writing the name
or names and the denominations in which such holder wishes the certificate or
certificates for the Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation will, as soon as
practicable after receipt thereof, issue and deliver to such holder, or such
holder's designee or designees, a certificate or certificates for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid,
together with a certificate or certificates representing any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock which are not to be redeemed, but which shall have constituted
part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or
certificates so surrendered.
(v) Each redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock paid in Common
Stock shall be deemed to have been made as of the close of business on the
applicable redemption date, so that the rights of the holder
I-A-5
156
of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall, to the extent of such
redemption, cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive
shares of the Common Stock upon redemption of such shares (including the person
or persons to whom any shares of Common Stock shall have been sold pursuant to a
Backstop Registration (as defined in Section 3(f)) shall be treated for all
purposes as having become the record holder or holders of the Common Stock at
such time, provided, however, that in the event a dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination, reclassification, merger or similar event is declared
or occurs with respect to the shares of Common Stock, and the record date for
any such action is on or after the close of business on the record date for such
redemption, but prior to the close of business on the date of such redemption,
then the person or persons entitled to receive shares of the Common Stock upon
redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including the person or
persons to whom any shares of Common Stock shall have been sold pursuant to a
Backstop Registration) shall be treated for purposes of such action as having
become the record holder or holders of the Common Stock at the close of business
on the Trading Day (as defined in Section 4(e)(vii)) next preceding the record
date of such redemption. From and after the redemption, dividends on the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed with shares of Common Stock as a result of
such redemption shall cease to accrue, and said shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding.
(vi) The Corporation will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon redemption of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a
Backstop Registration registered in a name other than the name (x) in which such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock were formerly registered or (y) of any
underwriter participating in such Backstop Registration, and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or
delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has
established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been
paid.
(f) (i) Within 15 days of its receipt of notice pursuant to Section 3(c)
above of a redemption payable in shares of Common Stock, each holder of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect not to retain such Common Stock
and to request a backstop registration (a "Backstop Registration") of the shares
of Common Stock received in the redemption by delivering to the Corporation a
written request specifying the amount of Common Stock that the holder proposes
not to retain and to sell pursuant to the Backstop Registration. A holder's
failure to timely deliver such notice shall be deemed to be an election by the
holder thereof to retain such Common Stock.
(ii) The Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause such shares to be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
as soon as reasonably practicable so as to permit the sale thereof promptly. In
connection therewith, the Corporation shall prepare, and within 120 days of the
receipt of the request file, on Form S-3 if permitted or otherwise on the
appropriate form, a registration statement under the Securities Act to effect
such registration. Each holder requesting a Backstop Registration shall thereby
be deemed to agree to provide all such information and materials and to take all
such action as may be reasonably required in order to permit the Corporation to
comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and to obtain any desired
acceleration of the effective date of such registration statement. If the
offering to be registered is to be underwritten, the managing underwriter shall
be selected by the Corporation, and the Corporation and each requesting holder
shall enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary terms and
conditions. For purposes hereof the Common Stock required to be registered is
referred to herein as the "Subject Stock." The Corporation shall not be required
to include Subject Stock of any requesting holder therein if the requesting
holder does not agree to offer its stock by or through the underwriters selected
by the Corporation for the registration of the shares of Subject Stock and
execute an underwriting agreement in customary form. If a requesting holder has
been permitted to participate in a proposed offering pursuant to this Section
3(f), the Corporation thereafter may determine in its sole discretion either not
to file a registration statement, or otherwise not to consummate such offering,
in whole or in part, without any liability hereunder, except as provided herein.
(iii) In connection with any Backstop Registration of shares of Subject
Stock registered pursuant hereto, the Corporation shall (A) furnish to the
requesting holders such number of copies of any prospectus
I-A-6
157
(including preliminary and summary prospectuses) and conformed copies of the
registration statement (including amendments or supplements thereto and, in each
case, all exhibits) and such other documents as they may reasonably request, but
only while the Corporation shall cause the registration statement to remain
current; (B)(1) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Subject Stock
covered by such registration statement under such blue sky or other state
securities laws for offer and sale and (2) keep such registration or
qualification in effect for so long as the registration statement remains in
effect; (C) use its best efforts to cause all shares of Subject Stock covered by
such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other
federal or state government agencies or authorities as may be necessary in the
opinion of counsel to the Corporation to enable the requesting holders to
consummate the disposition of such shares of Subject Stock; (D) notify the
requesting holders any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act upon discovery that, or upon the happening of
any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, and at the request of the requesting holders
promptly prepare and furnish to them a reasonable number of copies of a
supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall
not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein
not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(E) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission; (F) use its best efforts to list the Subject
Stock covered by such registration statement on the New York Stock Exchange or
on any other securities exchange on which Subject Stock is then listed; and (G)
before filing any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto,
and as far in advance as is reasonably practicable, furnish to the requesting
holders copies of such documents. In connection with any offering of Subject
Stock registered pursuant to this Section 3(f), the Corporation shall (x)
furnish to the underwriter unlegended certificates representing ownership of the
Common Stock being sold in such denominations as requested and (y) instruct any
transfer agent and registrar of the Subject Stock to release any stop transfer
orders with respect to such Subject Stock. Upon any registration becoming
effective pursuant to this Section 3(f), the Corporation shall use its best
efforts to keep such registration statement current for a period of 60 days (or
90 days, if the Corporation is eligible to use a Form S3, or successor form) or
such shorter period as shall be necessary to effect the distribution of the
Subject Stock.
(iv) By requesting Backstop Registration, each requesting holder shall be
deemed to agree that upon receipt of any notice from the Corporation of the
happening of any event of the kind described in subdivision (iii)(D) of this
Section 3(f), it will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Subject Stock
pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Subject Stock until its
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by
subdivision (iii)(D) of this Section 3(f) and, if so directed by the
Corporation, will deliver to the Corporation all copies then in its possession
of the prospectus relating to such Subject Stock current at the time of receipt
of such notice.
(v) The Corporation shall pay all agent fees and commissions and
underwriting discounts and commissions related to shares of Subject Stock being
sold by the requesting holders, the fees and disbursements of one counsel for
the requesting holders which shall be selected by a majority in interest of the
requesting holders and all other fees and expenses in connection with any
registration statement hereunder, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, all printing costs, all fees and expenses of
complying with securities or blue sky laws and fees and disbursements of the
Corporation's counsel and accountants.
(vi) In the case of any offering registered pursuant hereto, the
Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold the requesting holders, each
underwriter of the Subject Stock under such registration and each person who
controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, and any officer, employee or partner of the foregoing, harmless against any
and all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees
and other reasonable expenses incurred in the investigation and defense thereof)
to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise (collectively "Losses"), insofar
I-A-7
158
as any such Losses shall arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement relating to the sale of such Subject Stock (as amended if
the Corporation shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof), or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the prospectus relating to the sale of such Subject Stock (as
amended or supplemented if the Corporation shall have filed with the Commission
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this
Section 3(f)(vi) shall not apply to such Losses which shall arise out of or
shall be based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or
any such omission or alleged omission, which shall have been made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Corporation
by a requesting holder or any such underwriter, as the case may be, specifically
for use in connection with the preparation of the registration statement or
prospectus contained in the registration statement or any such amendment thereof
or supplement thereto.
In the case of each Backstop Registration pursuant to this Section 3(f),
each requesting holder and each underwriter participating therein shall agree,
substantially in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in the
preceding paragraph, severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation
and each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, and the directors and officers of the
Corporation, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration
statement or prospectus contained in such registration statement (as amended or
as supplemented, if amended or supplemented as aforesaid) if such statement or
omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Corporation by a requesting holder or
such underwriter, as the case may be, specifically for use in connection with
the preparation of such registration statement or prospectus contained in such
registration statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3(f) is unavailable to
an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless
from any Losses in respect of which this Section 3(f) would otherwise apply by
its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided herein), then each
applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by and fault of the
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other
hand, in connection with the offering to which such contribution relates as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefit shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, the amount of proceeds received
by each party from the offering to which such contribution relates. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, each party's
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect
to which the claim was asserted, and the opportunity to correct and prevent any
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any
Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred
by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding, to the extent
such party would have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification
provided for in this Section 3(f) was available to such party.
(g) When the offering contemplated by Section 3(f) above has been
completed, the net proceeds thereof shall be distributed to the requesting
holders pro rata in respect of their interests in the Subject Stock. Any such
offering not consummated within six months of delivery of the notice to the
Corporation pursuant to Section 3(f)(i) shall be deemed to have been abandoned.
To the extent the net proceeds per share to each requesting holder from such
offering (treating the net proceeds as zero if such offering has been abandoned)
are less than the sum of the Redemption Price and the Interest Amount (as
defined below) in respect of such requesting holder's shares of Series A
Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section, the Corporation shall pay to
each requesting holder an amount in cash equal to the applicable difference.
"Interest Amount" means, with respect to the Redemption Price payable to any
holder for such holder's shares of Series A
I-A-8
159
Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section, interest on such Redemption
Price for each day, from the applicable redemption date to and including the
date of payment pursuant to this Section 3(g) at a rate per annum equal to the
rate per annum, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System as reported by the U.S. Department of Treasury, for such day on U.S.
Treasury Bonds maturing on the date that is the tenth anniversary of such
redemption date (or if no U.S. Treasury Bonds mature on such date, then on the
date nearest to such date for which such a maturity exists).
SECTION 4. Conversion Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall have the right, at their option, to convert such shares into shares
of Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of
such share and prior to the close of business of the Corporation on the
second Business Day immediately preceding any date set for the redemption
thereof (provided that consideration sufficient to redeem all shares to be
redeemed on such date has been paid or made available for payment on or
prior to such date), at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent
for the Series A Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $50 by
the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the
time of conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be
deliverable upon conversion (the "Conversion Price") shall initially be
$34.5525 per share of Common Stock. The Conversion Price shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided. No payment or
adjustment shall be made on account of any dividend on the shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock if the
record date for such dividend occurs prior to the date of such conversion.
If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be called for redemption,
the right to convert the shares designated for redemption shall terminate
after the close of business on the second Business Day immediately
preceding the date fixed for redemption unless default is made in the
payment of the Redemption Price. In the event of default in the payment of
the Redemption Price, the right to convert the shares designated for
redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date that such default is cured.
(b) In order to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common
Stock, the holder thereof shall surrender the certificates therefor, duly
endorsed if the Corporation shall so require, or accompanied by appropriate
instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Corporation, at the office of
the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, or at such other
office as may be designated by the Corporation, together with written
notice that such holder irrevocably elects to convert such shares of Series
A Preferred Stock. Such notice shall also state the name and address in
which such holder wishes the certificate for the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion to be issued. As soon as practicable after receipt
of the certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to
be converted and the notice of election to convert the same, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver at said office a certificate for the
number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion, together
with a cash payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter
provided, to the person entitled to receive the same. If more than one
stock certificate for Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by all the certificates
so surrendered. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have
been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date such
shares are surrendered for conversion and notice of election to convert the
same is received by the Corporation in accordance with the foregoing
provision, and the person entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion shall be deemed for all purposes as the record holder
of such Common Stock as of such date.
(c) Dividends shall cease to accrue on shares of Series A Preferred
Stock surrendered for conversion into Common Stock from and after the date
of conversion; provided, however, that any accrued but unpaid dividends
(whether or not declared and whether or not funds are legally available for
payment) upon such shares to and including the conversion date shall be
paid in cash upon such conversion or as soon thereafter as permitted by
law.
I-A-9
160
(d) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one
share of Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered at one time by the same
holder, the number of full shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares so surrendered. If
the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock results in a
fractional share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay cash in lieu
thereof in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Average
Closing Price, determined as provided in subsection (vii) of Section 4(e)
below, on the date on which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
duly surrendered for conversion, or if such date is not a Trading Date, on
the next succeeding Trading Date.
(e) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as
follows:
(i) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other
distribution on shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital
stock of the Corporation in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect
at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of
shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or
other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for such
determination. For purposes of this subsection, the number of shares of
Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in
the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation will not pay any
dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury of the Corporation.
(ii) In case the Corporation shall issue shares of Common Stock or
rights or warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for shares of Common Stock to any person (other than
pursuant to (A) a dividend reinvestment plan, (B) the exercise of stock
options granted with the approval of the Corporation's Board of
Directors where the exercise price is not less than the Average Closing
Price on the date the option was granted, (C) a restricted stock plan
where the issuance is consistent with the past practices of Martin
Marietta Corporation, Martin Marietta Technologies, Inc. or Lockheed
Corporation, as determined by the Board of Directors, (D) a stock option
or other stock incentive plan where the issuance is required in
accordance with any obligation of Martin Marietta Corporation to provide
benefits similar to those provided under certain plans of General
Electric Company in effect prior to April 2, 1993 as determined by the
Board of Directors, or (E) any option or other security of the
Corporation issued in exchange for, or upon exercise or conversion of,
any option or other security outstanding as of the Merger Date (as
defined in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 29,
1994 among the Corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation and Lockheed
Corporation) and theretofore issued by (X) Martin Marietta Corporation
(provided that the exercise of any option or other security issued by
Martin Marietta Corporation after April 2, 1993 with an exercise price
less than the "Average Closing Price" (as defined in Section 4 of
Article V of Martin Marietta Corporation's Charter) on the date of grant
shall result in an adjustment under this clause (ii) to the same extent
it would have resulted in an adjustment under Section 4 of Martin
Marietta Corporation's Charter) or (Y) Lockheed Corporation), entitling
such person to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share (or having a conversion, exercise or exchange price per
share) in any case, less than the Average Closing Price per share
(determined as provided in subsection (vii) below) of the Common Stock
on the date of issuance (or in the case of any issuance of Common Stock,
rights, warrants or such other securities to all holders of Common
Stock, on the date fixed for the determination of the holders entitled
to receive such Common Stock, rights, warrants or other securities), the
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the date of such issuance or the date fixed for such
determination, as the case may be, shall be reduced by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock
I-A-10
161
outstanding at the close of business on the date of such issuance or the
date fixed for such determination, as the case may be, plus the number
of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable
by the Corporation for the total number of shares of Common Stock so
offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which such rights,
warrants or other securities are convertible, exchangeable or
exercisable) would purchase at such Average Closing Price and the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
the close of business on the date of such issuance or the date fixed for
such determination, as the case may be, plus the number of shares of
Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for
which such rights, warrants or other securities are convertible,
exchangeable or exercisable), such reduction to become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date
of such issuance or the date fixed for such determination, as the case
may be. For the purposes of this subsection (ii), the number of shares
of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in
the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation will not issue any
rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the
Corporation. If the Corporation adopts a shareholder rights plan (a
"Rights Plan"), and after any Distribution Date (as defined in such
Rights Plan) thereunder, holders converting shares of Series A Preferred
Stock are not entitled to receive the Rights (as defined in such Rights
Plan) which would otherwise be attributable (but for the date of
conversion) to the shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion,
then adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this
subsection (ii) as if the Rights were then being issued to holders of
the Common Stock. If such an adjustment is made and the Rights are later
redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing
adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price, on an equitable basis,
to take account of such event. However, the Corporation may elect to
provide that each share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not issued after the Distribution
Date for such Rights, will be accompanied by the Rights which would
otherwise be attributable (but for the date of conversion) to such
shares of Common Stock, in which event the preceding two sentences will
not apply.
(iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be
proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the
day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective
shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the
case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(iv) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise,
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock or any other class of
capital stock of the Corporation evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(including securities, but excluding (x) any rights, warrants or other
securities referred to in subsection (ii) above, (y) any regular
quarterly dividend of the Corporation paid in cash out of the
consolidated earnings or consolidated retained earnings of the
Corporation in an amount not exceeding 125% of the average of the four
regular quarterly dividends paid by the Corporation for the immediately
preceding four quarters (including for this purpose dividends paid by
Martin Marietta Corporation prior to the Merger Date), and (z) any
dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (i) above), the
Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the Average Closing Price (determined as
provided in subsection (vii) below) of the Common Stock on the date
fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination
shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the
transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock) of the portion of the
evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one
share of
I-A-11
162
Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Average Closing Price per
share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution.
(v) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including
securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon
a consolidation or merger to which Section 4(g) below applies) shall be
deemed to involve (A) a distribution of such securities other than
Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of
such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and
the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subsection
(iv) above), and (B) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be,
of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such
reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such
subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination
becomes effective" as the case may be, and "the day upon which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of
subsection (iii) above).
(vi) In case at any time the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof
shall repurchase, by self tender offer or otherwise, any shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation at a weighted average purchase price in
excess of the Average Closing Price (as defined in subsection (vii)
below) on the Business Day immediately prior to the earliest of the date
of such repurchase, the commencement of an offer to repurchase or the
public announcement of either (such date being referred to as the
"Determination Date"), the Conversion Price in effect as of such
Determination Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (I) the product of (x)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Determination
Date and (y) the Average Closing Price of the Common Stock on such
Determination Date minus (II) the aggregate purchase price of such
repurchase and the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Determination Date
minus the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company or
any subsidiary thereof in such repurchase and (y) the Average Closing
Price of the Common Stock on such Determination Date. An adjustment made
pursuant to this subsection (vi) shall become effective immediately
after the effective date of such repurchase.
(vii) For the purposes of any computation under these provisions of
the Corporation's Charter, the Average Closing Price per share of Common
Stock on any day shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices
for the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30
Trading Days before the day in question, with each day's closing sale
price being the reported last sale price regular way or, in case no such
reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported
closing bid and asked prices, in either case on the New York Stock
Exchange or, if the Common Stock is no longer listed or admitted to
trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange
on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations
National Market System or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted
to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted on such
National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock
Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Board of
Directors for that purpose. As used herein, the term "Trading Day" shall
mean a date on which the New York Stock Exchange (or any successor to
such Exchange) is open for the transaction of business.
(viii) No adjustment in the Conversion Price for the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be required unless such adjustment would require
an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (viii) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as
the case may be.
I-A-12
163
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as herein provided
(i) the Corporation shall forthwith make available at the office of the
transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock a statement describing in
reasonable detail the adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and
the method of calculation used; and (ii) the Corporation shall cause to be
mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each
holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock a notice stating
that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Price.
(g) In the event that the Corporation shall be a party to any
transaction constituting a recapitalization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, share exchange, or a sale, lease or conveyance of
all or substantially all of its assets, the holder of each share of Series
A Preferred Stock shall have the right, after such consolidation, merger,
sale or exchange to convert such share into the number and kind of shares
of stock or other securities, and the amount of cash or other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or exchange by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such share
of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale or exchange. No provision shall be made for adjustments in the
Conversion Price. The provisions of this Section 4(g) shall similarly apply
to any such successive event.
(h) The Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of shares of
Common Stock in the name other than that in which the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock so converted are registered, and the Corporation shall not
be required to issue or deliver any such shares unless and until the person
requesting such issuance in another name shall have paid to the Corporation
the amount of any such taxes, or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid.
(i) The Corporation may make such reductions in the Conversion Price,
in addition to those required by subsections (i) through (vi) of Section
4(e) above, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated
for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights
shall not be taxable to the recipients.
(j) Except as provided in this Section 4, the Corporation will not, by
amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by
the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against
impairment.
(k) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the full number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(l) In the event that:
(i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend or any other
distribution on its Common Stock (other than any regular quarterly
dividend described in Section 4(e)(iv) above) payable otherwise than in
cash out of consolidated earnings or consolidated retained earnings;
(ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of
its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any other rights;
(iii) any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or sale,
lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation occurs;
(iv) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation occurs; or
I-A-13
164
(v) any other event for which an adjustment would be required
pursuant to subsections (i) through (vi) of Section 4(e) or pursuant to
Section 4(g) occurs;
the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the holders of record of Series A
Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled
to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other event specified in
subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 4(l) is expected to take place, and
the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of record
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up or other such event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend,
distribution, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
lease, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other such event.
SECTION 5. Voting Rights. (a) Except as otherwise provided by paragraphs
(b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 5 or as required by law, the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter
on which the holders of any voting securities of the Corporation shall be
entitled to vote.
(b) Upon a default with respect to the Corporation's senior bank facility
or any successor thereto or replacement thereof (as amended from time to time,
the "Senior Bank Facility") that is not substantially cured within six months
from the declaration thereof pursuant to the Senior Bank Facility (but without
regard to any waivers granted by the lenders under such Senior Bank Facility) (a
"Bank Debt Default"), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a
separate class, shall be entitled to elect the smallest number of directors of
the Corporation's Board of Directors that shall constitute no less than 25% of
the authorized number of directors of the Corporation's Board of Directors until
such right is terminated as provided herein. The voting rights provided by this
Section 5(b) shall terminate immediately upon the initial holder of all
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock being no longer entitled to
designate any director pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Standstill Agreement
dated April 2, 1993 between the Corporation (as successor to Martin Marietta
Corporation pursuant to, and as such Standstill Agreement is modified by, the
Reconfiguration Agreement dated August , 1993 among the Corporation, Martin
Marietta Corporation and General Electric Company), as so amended, and the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, following such termination, shall have
only the voting rights provided by Sections 5(c), (d) and (e) below or as
otherwise required by law.
(c) In the event that dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock
shall be in arrears for six quarters (whether or not consecutive) (a "Preferred
Dividend Default") and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are not then
represented on the Corporation's Board of Directors by directors elected as a
result of a Bank Debt Default, a majority in interest of the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class with holders of shares of any
other class of Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred
and are exercisable, shall be entitled to elect two directors of the Corporation
until such right is terminated as provided herein.
(d) (i) Upon the occurrence of a Bank Debt Default or a Preferred Dividend
Default, the Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly call a special
meeting of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and, in the case
of a Preferred Dividend Default, any holders of shares of any other class of
Preferred Stock who are then entitled to participate in the election of such
directors) for the purpose of electing the directors provided by the foregoing
provisions; provided that, in lieu of holding such meeting, the holders of
record of Series A Preferred Stock (and, in the case of a Preferred Dividend
Default, the holders of any such other Preferred Stock) may, by action taken by
written consent as permitted by law and the Charter and Bylaws of the
Corporation, elect such directors. At elections for such directors, each holder
of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held.
Upon the vesting of voting rights in the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as
a result of a Preferred Dividend Default or a Bank Debt Default, the maximum
authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall automatically be
increased by two (or such greater number as may be required in respect of a Bank
Debt Default). The two vacancies (or greater
I-A-14
165
number) so created shall be filled by vote of the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock (and, in the case of a Preferred Dividend Default, the holders of any such
other Preferred Stock). The right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
voting separately as a class (except as aforesaid), to elect members of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation in the manner described above shall
continue until such time as any Bank Debt Default shall have ceased (other than
as a result of any waiver, amendment or accommodation granted by the lenders
under such Senior Bank Facility), or all dividends accumulated on Series A
Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full, as the case may be, at which time
such right shall terminate, except as required by law, subject to vesting in the
event of each and every subsequent Bank Debt Default and Preferred Dividend
Default.
(ii) Upon any termination of the right of the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock (and, in the case of a Preferred Dividend Default, the holders of shares
of any other class of Preferred Stock who are then entitled to vote on the
election of directors) to vote as a class for directors as herein provided, the
term of office of all directors then in office elected by holders of Series A
Preferred Stock (or such other holders, as the case may be) voting as a class
(hereunder referred to as a "Preferred Stock Director") shall terminate
immediately. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed by, and shall not be
removed otherwise than by, the vote of the holders of record of Series A
Preferred Stock (or, in the case of any Preferred Stock Director elected as a
result of a Preferred Dividend Default, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
together with holders of any other Preferred Stock that participated in the
election of such Preferred Stock Director) voting as a separate class, at a
meeting called for such purpose or by written consent as permitted by law and
the Charter and Bylaws of the Corporation. If the office of any Preferred Stock
Director becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office, or otherwise, the remaining Preferred
Stock Director or Directors may choose a successor who shall hold office for the
unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred or, if none remains in
office, by vote of the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock (or, in the
case of any Preferred Stock Director elected as a result of a Preferred Dividend
Default, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock together with holders of any
other Preferred Stock that participated in the election of such Preferred Stock
Director). Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not, as such stockholders,
be entitled to vote on the election or removal of directors other than Preferred
Stock Directors. Whenever the special voting powers vested in the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein shall have expired, the number of
directors shall become such number as may be provided for in the Bylaws,
irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions hereof.
(iii) So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting separately as a class) given
in person or by proxy, at any special or annual meeting called for such purpose,
or by written consent as permitted by law and the Charter and Bylaws of the
Corporation, shall be necessary to amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions
of the Charter of the Corporation which would adversely affect any right,
preference, privilege or voting power of Series A Preferred Stock or of the
holders thereof; provided, however, that any such amendment, alteration or
repeal, that would authorize, create or issue any additional shares of Preferred
Stock or any other shares of stock (whether or not already authorized) ranking
on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and
on the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall
be deemed not to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences,
privileges or voting powers.
(e) The holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to vote together with the holders of shares of Common Stock and to cast the
number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such

merger, consolidation or business combination or share exchange involving the
Corporation or any sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation upon which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to vote, provided, however, that the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to vote upon acquisitions which, within any 12-month
period, do not (i) involve greater than an aggregate of Twenty-Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000) of transaction value (including assumed liabilities,
whether contingent or not) or (ii) adversely affect the economic or legal

shall be effected, all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
have been redeemed for cash or converted for Common Stock and funds, if any,
necessary for such redemption or conversion shall have been deposited in trust
to effect such redemption.
SECTION 6. Liquidation Rights. (a) Subject to the rights of holders of
any class of Preferred Stock which the Corporation may in the future issue which
ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock upon any dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary
or involuntary (collectively, a "Liquidation"), the holders of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, whether from capital,
surplus or earnings, before any distribution or payment is made to holders of
Common Stock of the Corporation or on any other class of stock of the
Corporation ranking junior as to assets distributable upon Liquidation to the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation, liquidating distributions
in the amount of $50 per share, plus the amount equal to all dividends accrued
and unpaid thereon (including dividends accumulated and unpaid) to the date of
Liquidation, and no more.
(b) Written notice of any Liquidation, stating the payment date or dates
when and the place or places where the amounts distributable in such
circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than 30 days prior to any payment date stated therein, to the
holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at their respective addresses
as the same shall appear on the books of the Corporation or any transfer agent
for the Series A Preferred Stock.
(c) Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any
other corporation, nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into
or with the Corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any part of the
assets of the Corporation, shall, without further corporate action, be deemed to
be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation
within the meaning of this Section 6.
SECTION 7. Tax Provisions. (a) The Corporation will treat the Series A
Preferred Stock as equity (not debt) for all federal, state, local and other tax
purposes.
(b) The Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that it
has adequate earnings and profits, within the meaning of Section 312 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any successor
provision, to ensure that all dividend distributions on the Series A Preferred
Stock and all distributions in redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock that
are treated as distributions with respect to stock under Section 302(d) of the
Code (or any successor provision) will be treated as dividends within the
meaning of Section 316 of the Code (or any successor provision); provided that
such reasonable best efforts shall not require the Corporation to incur any
material out-of-pocket costs unless such costs are reimbursed by the initial
holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.
B. Series Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power from time to
time (a) to classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued shares
of Series Preferred Stock and (b) to reclassify any unissued shares of any
series of Series Preferred Stock, in the case of either (a) or (b) by setting or
changing the number of shares constituting such series and the designation,
preference, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations
as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of such
shares, and, in such event, the Corporation shall file for record with the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland articles supplementary in
substance and form as prescribed by the GCL.
Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall be
entitled to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such
series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of Series Preferred
Stock subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series.
I-A-16

Subject to the rights of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
any series of Series Preferred Stock established pursuant to Section B of this
Article VI, each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder to one vote per
share on all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote, to receive
dividends and other distributions authorized by Board of Directors in accordance
with the GCL and to all rights of a stockholder pursuant thereto. The Common
Stock shall have no preferences or preemptive, conversion or exchange rights.
D. General
In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or
involuntary liquidation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares
or otherwise, is permitted under the GCL, no effect shall be given to amounts
that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the
distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of
stockholders whose preferential rights upon dissolution are superior to those
receiving the distribution.

nor any of their Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), shall be a "Related
Person."
Clause 3. The term "Substantial Part" shall mean more than 20% of the

Affiliates, Associates, or other persons whose ownership is attributed to a
Related Person under the foregoing definition of Related Person, if the

Person for any share or shares of any class or series of Voting Stock of
the Corporation. In determining the Highest Per Share Price and Highest
Equivalent Price, all purchases after the Merger Date by the Related Person
shall be taken into account regardless of whether the shares were purchased
before or after the Related Person became a Related Person. Also, the
Highest Per Share Price and the Highest Equivalent Price shall include any
brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, and soliciting dealers' fees paid by
the Related Person with respect to the shares of Voting Stock of the

by the Continuing Directors.
SECTION 3. Any amendment, change, or repeal of this Article XIII, or any
other amendment of this Charter which will have the effect of modifying or
permitting circumvention of this Article XIII, shall require the favorable vote,

(i) 80% of the then outstanding shares of the Voting Stock of the Corporation
and (ii) 67% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the Corporation held
by stockholders other than a Related Person; provided, however, that this
Section 3 shall not apply to and such vote shall not be required for any such

3 only, if at the time when any such amendment, change, or repeal is under
consideration there is no proposed Business Combination (in which event, the
definition of Continuing Director in Clause 7 of Section 2 of this Article XIII
would be inapplicable), the "Continuing Directors" shall be deemed to be those
persons who are members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the
Merger Date, plus those persons who are Continuing Directors under Clause 7(b)
of Section 2 of this Article XIII.

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION
ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 1.01. Annual Meetings. The Corporation shall hold an annual
meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any
business within the powers of the Corporation on such date during the month of
April in each year as shall be determined by the Board of Directors, except that
the 1995 annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on February 6, 1995.
Subject to Article I, Section 1.11 of these Bylaws, any business of the
Corporation may be transacted at such annual meeting. Failure to hold an annual
meeting at the designated time shall not, however, invalidate the corporate
existence or affect otherwise valid corporate acts.
SECTION 1.02. Special Meetings. At any time in the interval between
annual meetings, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the
Chairman of the Board, President, or by the Board of Directors or by the
Executive Committee by vote at a meeting or in writing with or without a
meeting. Special meetings of stockholders shall also be called by the Secretary
of the Corporation on the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at
least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
SECTION 1.03. Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be
held at such place within the United States as may be designated in the notice
of meeting.
SECTION 1.04. Notice of Meetings. Not less than thirty (30) days nor more
than ninety (90) days before the date of every stockholders' meeting, the
Secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and
each other stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting, written or printed
notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special
meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, either by mail
or by presenting it to him or her personally or by leaving it at his or her
residence or usual place of business. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to
be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder
at his or her post office address as it appears on the records of the
Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provision for notice, a waiver of notice in writing, signed by the person or
persons entitled to such notice and filed with the records of the meeting,
whether before or after the holding thereof, or actual attendance at the meeting
in person or by proxy, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice
to such persons. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn
from time to time without further notice to a date not more than one hundred
twenty (120) days after the original record date at the same or some other
place.
SECTION 1.05. Conduct of Meetings. Each meeting of stockholders shall be
conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors
may determine subject to the requirements of applicable law and the Charter. The
Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence the President, or in their
absence the person designated in writing by the Chairman of the Board, or if no
person is so designated, then a person designated by the Board of Directors,
shall preside as chairman of the meeting; if no person is so designated, then
the meeting shall choose a chairman by a majority of all votes cast at a meeting
at which a quorum is present. The Secretary or in the absence of the Secretary a
person designated by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary of the
meeting.
SECTION 1.06. Quorum. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in
person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes
thereat shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any
requirement under statute or under the Charter of the Corporation for the vote
necessary for the adoption of any measure. In the absence of a quorum, the
stockholders present in person or by proxy, by majority vote and without further
notice, may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120
days after the original record date until a quorum shall attend. At any such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified.
I-B-4
179
SECTION 1.07. Votes Required. Unless applicable law or the Charter of the
Corporation provides otherwise, at a meeting of stockholders, the vote of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting, duly called and at which
a quorum is present, shall be required to take or authorize action upon any
matter which may properly come before the meeting. Unless the Charter provides
for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting
rights, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, shall be entitled
to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; but
no share shall be entitled to any vote if any installment payable thereon is
overdue and unpaid.
SECTION 1.08. Proxies. A stockholder may vote the shares owned of record
by him or her either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the
stockholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be
valid after eleven (11) months from its date, unless otherwise provided in the
proxy. Every proxy shall be in writing, subscribed by the stockholder or his or
her duly authorized attorney, and dated, but need not be sealed, witnessed or
acknowledged.
SECTION 1.09. List of Stockholders. At each meeting of stockholders, a
true and complete list of all stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting,
stating the number and class of shares held by each, shall be furnished by the
Secretary.
SECTION 1.10. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of
stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint Inspectors of Election to act
at such meeting or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. If such
Inspectors are not so appointed or fail or refuse to act, the chairman of any
such meeting, upon the demand of stockholders present in person or by proxy
entitled to cast 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, shall
make such appointments.
If there are three (3) or more Inspectors of Election, the decision, act or
certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision,
act or certificate of all. The Inspectors of Election shall determine the number
of shares outstanding, the voting power of each, the shares represented at the
meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of
proxies; shall receive votes, ballots, assents or consents, hear and determine
all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the vote,
count and tabulate all votes, assents and consents, and determine the result;
and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election and the vote with
fairness to all stockholders. On request, the Inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them, and shall make
and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.
No such Inspector need be a stockholder of the Corporation.
SECTION 1.11. Director Nominations and Stockholder Business.
(a) Nominations and Stockholder Business at Annual Meetings of
Stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of
the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the
stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to
the Corporation's notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder
of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.11(a),
who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section 1.11(a).
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this
Section 1.11, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing
to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall
be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior
to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by
more than thirty (30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered
not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than
the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting
or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of
such meeting is first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to
each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection
as a director, (A) the name, age, business
I-B-5
180
address and residence address of such person, (B) the class and number of shares
of capital stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such person,
and (C) all other information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
(including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement
as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other
business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in
such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice
and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is
made, the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and the class and number of
shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by
such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11 to the
contrary, in the event that Section 2.02 of these Bylaws is amended, altered or
repealed so as to increase or decrease the maximum or minimum number of
directors and there is no public announcement of such action at least seventy
(70) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting,
a stockholder's notice required by this Section 1.11(a) shall also be considered
timely, but only with respect to nominees for director, if it shall be delivered
to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later
than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such
public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(b) Director Nominations and Stockholder Business at Special Meetings of
Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (i)
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) provided that the Board
of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such special
meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at
the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.11, who is entitled
to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in
this Section 1.11. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of
stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any
such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for
election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of
meeting, if the stockholder's notice required by paragraph (a) of this Section
1.11 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and
not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such
special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement
is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by
the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.
(c) General. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 shall be eligible to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders
as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 1.11. The presiding officer of the meeting shall have
the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to
be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 1.11 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in
compliance with this Section 1.11, to declare that such defective nomination or
proposal be disregarded.
For purposes of this Section 1.11, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated
Press or comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13,
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with
I-B-6
181
respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.11. Nothing in this Section
1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion
of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any
successor provision) under the Exchange Act.

or by facsimile, or by leaving the notice at his or her residence or usual place
of business, or, in the alternative, by mailing such notice three (3) days (or
more) before the meeting, postage prepaid, and addressed to him or her at his or

given by telegram or by facsimile, such notice shall be deemed to be given when
the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or when the facsimile is
transmitted. If the notice be given by telephone or by personal delivery, such
notice shall be deemed to be given at the time of the communication or delivery.
Unless required by these Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Directors, no
notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need state the business to be
transacted thereat. No notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need be
given to any director who attends or to any director who, in a writing executed
and filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the holding
thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of Directors, regular or
special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other
place, and no further notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting.
SECTION 2.10. Presence at Meeting. Members of the Board, or of any
committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone
or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating
in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in this
manner shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
SECTION 2.11. Presiding Officer and Secretary at Meetings. Each meeting
of the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors or in his or her absence by the President or if neither is present by
such member of the Board of Directors as shall be chosen by the meeting. The

secretary of the meeting, or if no such officer is present, a secretary of the
meeting shall be designated by the person presiding over the meeting.
SECTION 2.12. Quorum. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a
majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. Except in cases in which it is by statute, by the Charter, or by
the Bylaws otherwise provided, the vote of a majority of such quorum at a duly
constituted meeting shall be sufficient to pass any measure. In the absence of a
quorum, the directors present by majority vote and without notice other than by
announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be
present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.
SECTION 2.13. Compensation. Directors shall not receive any stated salary
for their services as Directors but, by resolution of the Board of Directors,
annual retainers, fees and expenses of attendance, if any, may be provided to
Directors for attendance at each annual, regular or special meeting of the Board
of Directors or of any committee thereof; but nothing contained herein shall be
construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
SECTION 2.14. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws, Title 3,
Subtitle 7 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of

Charter or the Bylaws either reserved to the full Board of Directors or
delegated to another committee of the Board of Directors, possess and may
exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the
financial affairs of the Corporation, including but not limited to establishing

resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors shall provide for an
Audit and Ethics Committee of three or more directors who are not officers or
employees of the Corporation, and who are otherwise independent of management
and free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors,
would interfere with the exercise of the independent judgment of each member as
a Committee member. The members of the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be
elected by the Board of Directors to serve at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors shall designate from among the membership of
the Audit and Ethics Committee a chairman. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall,

reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of a final disposition of the
proceeding and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate
entitlement to indemnification provided that the individual first provides the
Corporation with: (a) a written affirmation of the individual's good faith
belief that the individual meets the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under the laws of the State of Maryland; and (b) a written
undertaking by or on behalf of the individual to repay the amount advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of conduct has not
been met.

authorize the management of the Corporation to act for and on behalf of the
Corporation in all matters relating to indemnification within any such limits as
may be specified from time to time by the Board of Directors, all consistent

The rights conferred on any person by this Article VI shall not be
exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the Charter of the Corporation, these Bylaws,
agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Repeal or modification of this Article VI or the relevant law shall not
affect adversely any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any
facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore
or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such
facts.

continue to be its Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws until changed as
provided therein and by law.

1.6 If this Plan and Agreement of Merger is duly adopted by the
stockholders of each of the Constituent Corporations in accordance with the
Delaware General Corporation Law and the respective Certificates of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Constituent Corporations and is not terminated
under paragraph 3.1, a Certificate of Merger with respect to the Pacific Sub
Merger shall be promptly filed and recorded in accordance with the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The Pacific Sub Merger shall become effective at the
time and date of such filing or at such date and time otherwise specified in the
Certificate of Merger (such time and date are herein collectively referred to as
the "Merger Date").
ARTICLE II
2.1 On the Merger Date, by virtue of the Pacific Sub Merger and without
further action by the holder thereof, each share of the common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of Pacific Sub outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be
converted into and become one share of the common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of the Surviving Corporation ("Surviving Corporation Common Stock").
2.2 On the Merger Date, by virtue of the Pacific Sub Merger and without
further action by the holder thereof, each share of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of Lockheed outstanding immediately prior thereto (other than
shares of Lockheed Common Stock held in the treasury of Lockheed or owned by
Martin Marietta or any Subsidiary of Martin Marietta, which shall be cancelled
and cease to exist immediately upon the Merger Date) shall be converted into and
become the right to receive 1.63 shares of Parent Common Stock, except that if
the application of such ratio would otherwise result in conversion into a
fractional number of shares of Parent Common Stock, cash payments will be made
to holders of Lockheed Common Stock in respect of such fractional share in an
amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock
multiplied by the closing price of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on the last business day preceding the Merger Date if such stock is
then being traded, including without limitation trading on a "when issued"
basis, and otherwise shall be the closing price on the first business day that
such stock is traded.
2.3 On and after the Merger Date, the holders of certificates theretofore
representing shares of Lockheed Common Stock (other than shares held in the
treasury of Lockheed or owned by Martin Marietta or any Subsidiary of Martin
Marietta), on surrender of such certificates to an agent or agents designated
for that purpose by Parent, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
certificates representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which
the shares of Lockheed Common Stock theretofore represented by the surrendered
certificates shall have been converted in the Pacific Sub Merger; provided,
however, that if any such holder is not registered on the stock transfer records
of Lockheed as the holder of the shares of Lockheed Common Stock represented by
a certificate so surrendered, such certificate shall be accompanied by all
documents required to evidence such holder's rights to the shares represented
thereby and by payment for any applicable stock transfer or other taxes.
2.4 All shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Lockheed Common
Stock are converted on the Merger Date pursuant to paragraph 2.2 shall be
deemed, for all corporate purposes, to have been issued by Parent on such Date.
On and after such Date and prior to the surrender, pursuant to paragraph 2.3, of
any certificate theretofore representing shares of Lockheed Common Stock, such
certificate shall, for all corporate purposes (including, without limitation,
entitlement to vote and to the receipt of dividends), be treated as representing
the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Lockheed
Common Stock, as the case may be, shall have been converted in the Pacific Sub
Merger. No holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to
the Merger Date represented shares of Lockheed Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive any dividend or other distribution from Parent until surrender of such
holder's certificate or certificates for a certificate or certificates
representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be
paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without
interest) which theretofore became payable, but which were not paid by reason of
the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock
represented by the certificates issued upon such surrender.

Board of Directors
Lockheed Corporation
4500 Park Granada Blvd.
Calabasas, CA 91399
Members of the Board:
We understand that Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Parent"), Lockheed
Corporation ("Lockheed") and Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin Marietta")
have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August
29, 1994, as amended as of February 7, 1995, and the related Plan and Agreement
of Merger (collectively, the "Reorganization Agreement"), which provide, among
other things, for Lockheed and Martin Marietta to cause Parent to form two
wholly owned subsidiaries named Pacific Sub, Inc. ("Pacific Sub") and Atlantic
Sub, Inc. ("Atlantic Sub") and for the merger of Pacific Sub into Lockheed and
the merger of Atlantic Sub into Martin Marietta (the "Combination"). Pursuant to
the Combination, (i) Lockheed will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent
and each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share
(the "Lockheed Common Stock") of Lockheed, other than shares of Lockheed Common
Stock held in treasury or owned by Martin Marietta or any subsidiary of Martin
Marietta, will be converted into the right to receive 1.630 (the "Lockheed
Exchange Ratio") shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Parent
Common Stock") of Parent, and (ii) Martin Marietta will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent and each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the "Martin Marietta Common Stock") of Martin Marietta,
other than shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock owned by Lockheed or any
subsidiary of Lockheed, will be converted into the right to receive 1.000 share
of Parent Common Stock and each issued and outstanding share of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Martin Marietta Preferred
Stock") of Martin Marietta other than shares of Martin Marietta Preferred Stock
owned by Lockheed or any affiliate of Lockheed, will be converted into and
become one share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
Parent. The terms and conditions of the Combination are more fully set forth in
the Reorganization Agreement.
You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Lockheed Exchange Ratio
pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement is fair from a financial point of view
to the holders of shares of Lockheed Common Stock.
For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have:
(i) analyzed certain publicly available financial statements and other
information of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, respectively;
(ii) analyzed certain internal financial statements and other
financial and operating data concerning Martin Marietta prepared by the
management of Martin Marietta;
(iii) analyzed certain financial projections prepared by the
management of Martin Marietta;
(iv) discussed the past and current operations and financial condition
and the prospects of Martin Marietta with senior executives of Martin
Marietta;
II-1
196
(v) analyzed certain internal financial statements and other financial
and operating data concerning Lockheed prepared by the management of
Lockheed;
(vi) analyzed certain financial projections prepared by the management
of Lockheed;
(vii) discussed the past and current operations and financial
condition and the prospects of Lockheed with senior executives of Lockheed,
and analyzed the pro forma impact of the Combination on Lockheed's earnings
per share and consolidated capitalization;
(viii) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the
Lockheed Common Stock and the Martin Marietta Common Stock, respectively;
(ix) discussed with the senior management of Lockheed their view of
the strategic rationale for the Mergers and the benefits of the Combination
to Lockheed and to the holders of shares of Lockheed Common Stock;
(x) compared the financial performance of Lockheed and Martin Marietta
and the prices and trading activity of Lockheed Common Stock and Martin
Marietta Common Stock with that of certain other comparable publicly-traded
companies and their securities;
(xi) reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available,
of certain comparable merger transactions;
(xii) participated in discussions and negotiations among
representatives of Lockheed, Martin Marietta and their respective financial
and legal advisers;
(xiii) reviewed the Reorganization Agreement;
(xiv) reviewed the reconfiguration agreement between Martin Marietta
and the General Electric Company;
(xv) reviewed the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in substantially
the final form to be sent to the stockholders of Lockheed; and
(xvi) performed such other analyses as we have deemed appropriate.
We have assumed and relied upon without independent verification the
accuracy and completeness of the information reviewed by us for the purposes of
this opinion. With respect to the financial projections, we have assumed that
they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently
available estimates and judgments of the future financial performance of
Lockheed and Martin Marietta. We have not made any independent valuation or
appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Lockheed or Martin Marietta nor have
we been furnished with any such appraisals. We have assumed that the Combination
will be accounted for as a "pooling-of-interests" business combination in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and will be
consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Reorganization
Agreement. Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other
conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the
date hereof.
We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of Lockheed in
connection with this transaction and will receive a fee for our services,
including a payment which is contingent upon consummation of the Combination. In
the past, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its affiliates have provided
financial advisory and financing services for Lockheed and Martin Marietta and
have received fees for the rendering of these services.
It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Board of
Directors of Lockheed only and may not be used for any other purpose without our
prior written consent. We hereby consent, however, to the inclusion of this
opinion as an exhibit to any proxy or registration statement distributed in
connection with the Combination.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date
hereof that the Lockheed Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement
is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Lockheed
Common Stock.
Very truly yours,
MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INCORPORATED

Board of Directors
Martin Marietta Corporation

Bethesda, MD 20817
Dear Sirs and Madam:
We understand that Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin Marietta") and
Lockheed Corporation ("Lockheed") are considering merging into subsidiaries of a
new corporation ("Lockheed Martin") in a transaction pursuant to which each
share of common stock of Martin Marietta would be converted into one common
share of Lockheed Martin, each share of Series A Preferred Stock of Martin
Marietta would be converted into one share of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred
Stock with substantially similar terms, and each share of common stock of
Lockheed would be converted into 1.63 common shares of Lockheed Martin (the
"Transaction"). You have provided us with a copy of the proxy statement in
substantially the final form to be sent to the stockholders of Martin Marietta
(the "Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus"), which includes the Reorganization
Agreement and the Merger Agreements with respect to the Transaction. We further
understand that the Transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of interests
as contemplated by the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
You have asked us to render our opinion as to whether the Transaction is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of Martin Marietta.
In the course of our analyses for rendering this opinion, we have:
1. reviewed the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus;
2. reviewed Martin Marietta's and Lockheed's respective Annual Reports
to Shareholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended
December 1990 through 1993, and their respective Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the fiscal periods ended March, June and September 1994;
3. reviewed certain operating and financial information, including
projections, provided to us by Martin Marietta's and Lockheed's managements
relating to their respective business prospects;
4. met with certain members of Martin Marietta's and Lockheed's senior
managements to discuss their operations, historical financial statements
and future prospects and their views of the business, operational and
strategic benefits, potential synergies and other implications of the
Transaction;
5. reviewed the pro forma financial impact of the Transaction on
Martin Marietta;
6. reviewed the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the
common stock of Martin Marietta and of Lockheed;
7. reviewed publicly available financial information and stock market
performance data of other publicly-held companies which we deemed generally
comparable to Martin Marietta and to Lockheed;
III-1
199
8. reviewed the financial terms of certain other recent acquisitions
of companies which we deemed generally comparable to Martin Marietta and to
Lockheed; and
9. conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and
investigations as we deemed appropriate.
In the course of our review, we have relied upon and assumed, without
independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial and
other information provided to us by Martin Marietta and Lockheed, and we have
further relied upon the assurances of management of Martin Marietta and Lockheed
that they are unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to
us incomplete or misleading. In arriving at our opinion, we have not performed
or obtained any independent appraisal of the assets of Martin Marietta or
Lockheed nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. Our opinion is
necessarily based on the economic, market, and other conditions as in effect on,
and the information made available to us as of the date hereof.
We have acted as financial advisor to Martin Marietta in connection with
the Transaction and will receive a fee for such advisory services, including the
rendering of this opinion, payment of a significant portion of which is
contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction.
In the ordinary course of our business, we may actively trade the equity
securities of Martin Marietta and Lockheed for our own account and for the
accounts of customers and accordingly, may, at any time, hold a long or short
position in such securities.
It is understood that this letter is intended solely for the benefit and
use of the Board of Directors of Martin Marietta and is not to be used for any
other purpose without our prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the
date hereof, the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
stockholders of Martin Marietta.
Very truly yours,
BEAR, STEARNS & CO. INC.

all classes of stock of the Corporation shall be eligible to participate in this
Plan.
SECTION 4. Awards.
(a) Type of Awards. The Committee may grant any of the following types of
Awards, either singly, in tandem or in combination with other Awards:
(1) Nonqualified Stock Options. A Nonqualified Stock Option is an
Award in the form of an option to purchase Stock that is not intended to
comply with the requirements of Code Section 422. The exercise price of
each Nonqualified Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be not less
than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date that the Option is
granted or, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced by amendment, the
Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the amendment. All
Nonqualified Stock Options granted at an exercise price not less than Fair
Market Value on the date of grant shall be treated as Performance-Based
Awards subject to the applicable restrictions of Section 4(b).
(2) Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option is an Award in
the form of an option to purchase Stock that is intended to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 422 or any successor section of the Code. The
exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option granted under this Plan shall
be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Option
is granted or, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced by amendment,
the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the amendment. To the
extent that the aggregate "fair market value" of Stock with respect to
which one or more incentive stock options first become exercisable by a
Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both
Stock subject to Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and stock subject
to incentive stock options under all other plans of the Corporation or of
other entities referenced in Code Section 422(d)(1), the options shall be
treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For this purpose, the "fair market
value" of the Stock subject to options shall be determined as of the date
the Options were awarded. All Incentive Stock Options granted at an
exercise price not less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant shall
be treated as Performance-Based Awards subject to the applicable
restrictions of Section 4(b).
(3) Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award
in the form of a right to receive, upon surrender of the right, but without
other payment, an amount based on appreciation in the value of Stock over a
base price established in the Award, payable in cash, Stock or such other
form or combination of forms of payout, at times and upon conditions (which
may include a Change in Control), as may be approved by the Committee. The
minimum base price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan
shall be not less than the lowest of the Fair Market Value of the
underlying Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted or, if
the base price of a Stock Appreciation Right is reduced by amendment, the
Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the amendment, or, in the
case of a Stock Appreciation Right related to an Option (whether already
outstanding or concurrently granted), the exercise price of the related
Option. All Stock Appreciation Rights granted at a base price not less than
Fair Market Value on the date of grant shall be treated as
Performance-Based Awards subject to the applicable restrictions under
Section 4(b).
(4) Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock is an Award of shares of Stock
of the Corporation that are issued, but subject to restrictions on transfer
and/or such other restrictions on incidents of ownership as the Committee
may determine. Restricted Stock Awards to Executive Officers that are
either granted or vest upon attainment of one or more of the Performance
Goals shall only be granted as Performance-Based Awards under Section 4(b).
IV-3
205
(5) Other Share-Based Awards. The Committee may from time to time
grant Awards under this Plan that provide the Participants with Stock or
the right to purchase Stock, or provide other incentive Awards (including,
but not limited to phantom stock or units, performance stock or units,
bonus stock, dividend equivalent units, or similar securities or rights)
that have a value derived from the value of, or an exercise or conversion
privilege at a price related to, or that are otherwise payable in shares of
Stock. The Awards shall be in a form determined by the Committee, provided
that the Awards shall not be inconsistent with the other express terms of
this Plan. Awards under this Section 4(a)(5) to Executive Officers that are
either granted or become vested, exercisable or payable based on attainment
of one or more of the Performance Goals shall only be granted as
Performance-Based Awards under Section 4(b).
(6) Cash-Based Awards. Cash-Based Awards are Awards that provide
Participants with the opportunity to earn a cash payment based upon the
level of performance of the Corporation relative to one or more Performance
Goals established by the Committee for an award cycle of more than one but
not more than five years. For each award cycle, the Committee shall
determine the size of the Awards, the Performance Goals, the performance
targets as to each of the Performance Goals, the level or levels of
achievement necessary for award payments and the weighting of the
Performance Goals, if more than one Performance Goal is applicable.
Cash-Based Awards to Executive Officers that are either granted or become
vested, exercisable or payable based on attainment of one or more
Performance Goals shall only be granted as Performance-Based Awards under
Section 4(b).
(b) Special Performance-Based Awards. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, any of the type of Awards listed in Section 4(a) may be granted
as awards that satisfy the requirements for "performance-based compensation"
within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) ("Performance-Based Awards"), the
grant, vesting, exercisability or payment of which depends on the degree of
achievement of the Performance Goals relative to preestablished targeted levels
for the Corporation on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Section 4(b) to the contrary, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
with an exercise price or a base price not less than Fair Market Value on the
date of grant shall be subject only to the requirements of clauses (1) and
(3)(A) below in order for such Awards to satisfy the requirements for
Performance-Based Awards under this Section 4(b) (with such Awards hereinafter
referred to as a "Qualifying Option" or a "Qualifying Stock Appreciation Right",
respectively). With the exception of any Qualifying Option or Qualifying Stock
Appreciation Right, an Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements of
this Section 4(b) shall be designated as a Performance-Based Award at the time
of grant.
(1) Eligible Class. The eligible class of persons for Awards under
this Section 4(b) shall be all Employees.
(2) Performance Goals. The performance goals for any Awards under
this Section 4(b) (other than Qualifying Options and Qualifying Stock
Appreciation Rights) shall be, on an absolute or relative basis, one or
more of the Performance Goals. The specific performance target(s) with
respect to Performance Goal(s) must be established by the Committee in
advance of the deadlines applicable under Code Section 162(m) and while the
performance relating to the Performance Goal(s) remains substantially
uncertain.
(3) Individual Limits.
(A) Share-Based Awards. The maximum number of shares of Stock or
Share Units that are issuable under Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Stock or other Share-Based Awards (described under Section
4(a)(5)) that are granted as Performance-Based Awards during any
calendar year to any Participant shall not exceed 500,000, either
individually or in the aggregate, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 7. Awards that are cancelled or repriced during the year shall
be counted against this limit to the extent required by Code Section
162(m).
(B) Cash-Based Awards. The aggregate amount of compensation to be
paid to any Participant in respect of those Cash-Based Awards that are
granted during any calendar year as Performance-Based Awards shall not
exceed $3,000,000.
IV-4
206
(4) Committee Certification. Before any Performance-Based Award under
this Section 4(b) (other than Qualifying Options and Qualifying Stock
Appreciation Rights) is paid, the Committee must certify in writing (by
resolution or otherwise) that the applicable Performance Goal(s) and any
other material terms of the Performance-Based Award were satisfied;
provided, however, that a Performance-Based Award may be paid without
regard to the satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goal in the event
of a Change in Control as provided in Section 7(b).
(5) Terms and Conditions of Awards; Committee Discretion to Reduce
Performance Awards. The Committee shall have discretion to determine the
conditions, restrictions or other limitations, in accordance with the terms
of this Plan and Code Section 162(m), on the payment of individual
Performance-Based Awards under this Section 4(b). To the extent set forth
in an Award Agreement, the Committee may reserve the right to reduce the
amount payable in accordance with any standards or on any other basis
(including the Committee's discretion), as the Committee may impose.
(6) Adjustments for Material Changes. In the event of (i) a change in
corporate capitalization, a corporate transaction or a complete or partial
corporate liquidation, or (ii) any extraordinary gain or loss or other
event that is treated for accounting purposes as an extraordinary item
under generally accepted accounting principles, or (iii) any material
change in accounting policies or practices affecting the Corporation and/or
the Performance Goals or targets, then, to the extent any of the foregoing
events (or a material effect thereof) was not anticipated at the time the
targets were set, the Committee may make adjustments to the Performance
Goals and/or targets, applied as of the date of the event, and based solely
on objective criteria, so as to neutralize, in the Committee's judgment,
the effect of the event on the applicable Performance-Based Award.
(7) Interpretation. Except as specifically provided in this Section
4(b), the provisions of this Section 4(b) shall be interpreted and
administered by the Committee in a manner consistent with the requirements
for exemption of Performance-Based Awards granted to Executive Officers as
"performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m) and regulations
and other interpretations issued by the Internal Revenue Service
thereunder.
(c) Maximum Term of Awards. No Award that contemplates exercise or
conversion may be exercised or converted to any extent, and no other Award that
defers vesting, shall remain outstanding and unexercised, unconverted or
unvested more than ten years after the date the Award was initially granted.
SECTION 5. Shares of Stock and Share Units Available Under Plan.
(a) Aggregate Share Limit. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may
be issued pursuant to all Share-Based Awards (including Incentive Stock Options)
is 12,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5 or Section 7.
(b) Aggregate Share Unit Limit. The maximum number of Share Units that may
be paid pursuant to all Share-Based Awards is 12,000,000, subject to adjustment
as provided in this Section 5 or Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Share-Based Award paid or payable in Units satisfies the requirements for an
exclusion from the definition of a derivative security under Rule 16a-1(c) that
does not require that the Award be made under a Rule 16b-3 plan, the Share Units
that may be paid under the Award shall not be counted against the Share Unit
limit of this Section 5(b).
(c) Reissue of Shares and Share Units. Any unexercised, unconverted or
undistributed portion of any expired, cancelled, terminated or forfeited Award,
or any alternative form of consideration under an Award that is not paid in
connection with the settlement of an Award or any portion of an Award, shall
again be available for Award under Section 5(a) or 5(b), as applicable, whether
or not the Participant has received benefits of ownership (such as dividends or
dividend equivalents or voting rights) during the period in which the
Participant's ownership was restricted or otherwise not vested. Shares of Stock
that are issued pursuant to Awards and subsequently reacquired by the
Corporation pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Awards shall be
available for reissuance under the Plan.
IV-5
207
(d) Interpretive Issues. Additional rules for determining the number of
shares of Stock or Share Units authorized under this Plan may be adopted by the
Committee, as it deems necessary or appropriate.
(e) Treasury Shares; No Fractional Shares. The Stock which may be issued
(which term includes Stock reissued or otherwise delivered) pursuant to an Award
under this Plan may be treasury or authorized but unissued Stock or Stock
acquired, subsequently or in anticipation of a transaction under this Plan, in
the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to satisfy the
requirements of this Plan. No fractional shares shall be issued but fractional
interests may be accumulated.
(f) Consideration. The Stock issued under this Plan may be issued (subject
to Section 10(d)) for any lawful form of consideration, the value of which
equals the par value of the Stock or such greater or lesser value as the
Committee, consistent with Sections 10(d) and 4(a)(1), (2) and (3), may require.
(g) Purchase or Exercise Price; Withholding. The exercise or purchase
price (if any) of the Stock issuable pursuant to any Award and any withholding
obligation under applicable tax laws shall be paid in cash or, subject to the
Committee's express authorization and the restrictions, conditions and
procedures as the Committee may impose, any one or combination of (i) cash, (ii)
the delivery of shares of Stock, (iii) a reduction in the amount of Stock or
other amounts otherwise issuable or payable pursuant to such Award, or (iv) the
delivery of a promissory note, or other obligation for the future payment in
money, the terms and conditions of which shall be determined (subject to Section
10(d)) by the Committee. In the case of a payment by the means described in
clause (ii) or (iii) above, the Stock to be so delivered or offset shall be
determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date as of
which the payment or offset is made.
(h) Cashless Exercise. The Committee may permit the exercise of the Award
and payment of any applicable withholding tax in respect of an Award by delivery
of written notice, subject to the Corporation's receipt of a third party payment
in full in cash for the exercise price and the applicable withholding prior to
issuance of Stock, in the manner and subject to the procedures as may be
established by the Committee.
SECTION 6. Award Agreements.
Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in a
form approved by the Committee setting forth, in the case of Share-Based Awards,
the number of shares of Stock or Share Units, as applicable, subject to the
Award, and the price (if any) and term of the Award and, in the case of
Performance-Based Awards, the applicable Performance Goals. The Award Agreement
shall also set forth (or incorporate by reference) other material terms and
conditions applicable to the Award as determined by the Committee consistent
with the limitations of this Plan.
(a) Incorporated Provisions. Award Agreements shall be subject to the
terms of this Plan and shall be deemed to include the following terms, unless
the Committee in the Award Agreement otherwise (consistent with applicable legal
considerations) provides:
(1) Non-assignability: The Award shall not be assignable nor
transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and during the lifetime of a Participant the Award shall be exercised only
by such Participant or by his or her guardian or legal representative. The
designation of a Beneficiary hereunder shall not constitute a transfer
prohibited by the foregoing provisions.
(2) Rights as Stockholder: A Participant shall have no rights as a
holder of Stock with respect to any unissued securities covered by an Award
until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of these
securities. Except as provided in Section 7, no adjustment or other
provision shall be made for dividends or other stockholder rights, except
to the extent that the Award Agreement provides for dividend equivalents or
similar economic benefits.
(3) Withholding: The Participant shall be responsible for payment of
any taxes or similar charges required by law to be withheld from an Award
or an amount paid in satisfaction of an Award and these obligations shall
be paid by the Participant on or prior to the payment of the Award. In the
case of an Award payable in cash, the withholding obligation shall be
satisfied by withholding the applicable amount
IV-6
208
and paying the net amount in cash to the Participant. In the case of an
Award paid in shares of Stock, a Participant shall satisfy the withholding
obligation as provided in Section 5(g).
(4) Option Holding Period: Subject to the authority of the Committee
under Section 7, a minimum six-month period shall elapse between the date
of initial grant of any Option and the sale of the underlying shares of
Stock, and the Corporation may impose legend and other restrictions on the
Stock issued on exercise of the Options to enforce this requirement.
(b) Other Provisions. Award Agreements may include other terms and
conditions as the Committee shall approve, including but not limited to the
following:
(1) Termination of Employment: A provision describing the treatment
of an Award in the event of the retirement, disability, death or other
termination of a Participant's employment with or services to the Company,
including any provisions relating to the vesting, exercisability,
forfeiture or cancellation of the Award in these circumstances, subject, in
the case of Performance-Based Awards, to the requirements for
"performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m).
(2) Vesting; Effect of Termination; Change in Control: Any other
terms consistent with the terms of this Plan as are necessary and
appropriate to effect the Award to the Participant, including but not
limited to the vesting provisions, any requirements for continued
employment, any other restrictions or conditions (including performance
requirements) of the Award, and the method by which (consistent with
Section 7) the restrictions or conditions lapse, and the effect on the
Award of a Change in Control.
(3) Replacement and Substitution: Any provisions permitting or
requiring the surrender of outstanding Awards or securities held by the
Participant in whole or in part in order to exercise or realize rights
under or as a condition precedent to other Awards, or in exchange for the
grant of new or amended Awards under similar or different terms.
(4) Reloading. Any provisions for successive or replenished Awards,
including but not limited to reload Options.
(c) Contract Rights, Forms and Signatures. Any obligation of the
Corporation to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely
upon contractual obligations created by this Plan and an Award Agreement. No
Award shall be enforceable until the Award Agreement or a receipt has been
signed by the Participant and on behalf of the Corporation by an Executive
Officer (other than the recipient) or his or her delegate or, in the case of an
Award to an Insider, by the Participant and the Corporation, whose signature
shall be acknowledged by a member of the Committee. By executing the Award
Agreement or receipt, a Participant shall be deemed to have accepted and
consented to the terms of this Plan and any action taken in good faith under
this Plan by and within the discretion of the Committee, the Board of Directors
or their delegates. Unless the Award Agreement otherwise expressly provides,
there shall be no third party beneficiaries of the obligations of the
Corporation to the Participant under the Award Agreement.
SECTION 7. Adjustments; Change in Control; Acquisitions.
(a) Adjustments. If there shall occur any recapitalization, stock split
(including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend), reverse stock split,
merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization or any extraordinary
dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Stock (whether in
the form of cash, Stock or other property), or any split-up, spin-off,
extraordinary redemption, or exchange of outstanding Stock, or there shall occur
any other similar corporate transaction or event in respect of the Stock, or a
sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety, then the
Committee shall, in the manner and to the extent, if any, as it deems
appropriate and equitable to the Participants and consistent with the terms of
this Plan, and taking into consideration the effect of the event on the holders
of the Stock:
(1) proportionately adjust any or all of
(A) the number and type of shares of Stock and Share Units which
thereafter may be made the subject of Awards (including the specific
maxima and numbers of shares of Stock or Share Units set forth elsewhere
in this Plan),
IV-7
209
(B) the number and type of shares of Stock, other property, Share
Units or cash subject to any or all outstanding Awards,
(C) the grant, purchase or exercise price, or conversion ratio of
any or all outstanding Awards, or of the Stock, other property or Share
Units underlying the Awards,
(D) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon
exercise or conversion of any or all outstanding Awards,
(E) subject to Section 4(b), the performance targets or standards
appropriate to any outstanding Performance-Based Awards, or
(F) any other terms as are affected by the event; or
(2) subject to any applicable limitations in the case of a transaction
to be accounted for as a pooling of interests under generally accepted
accounting principles, provide for
(A) an appropriate and proportionate cash settlement or
distribution, or
(B) the substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding Awards,
or the cash, securities or property deliverable on exercise, conversion
or vesting of the Awards;
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no
adjustment shall be made which would cause this Plan to violate Section 424(a)
of the Code or any successor provisions thereto, without the written consent of
the Participant adversely affected thereby. The Committee may act prior to an
event described in this paragraph (a) (including at the time of an Award by
means of more specific provisions in the Award Agreement) if deemed necessary or
appropriate to permit the Participant to realize the benefits intended to be
conveyed by an Award in respect of the Stock in the case of an event described
in paragraph (a).
(b) Change in Control. The Committee may, in the Award Agreement, provide
for the effect of a Change in Control on an Award. Such provisions may include,
but are not limited to any one or more of the following with respect to any or
all Awards: (i) the specific consequences of a Change in Control on the Awards;
(ii) a reservation of the Committee's right to determine in its discretion at
any time that there shall be full acceleration or no acceleration of benefits
under the Awards; (iii) that only certain or limited benefits under the Awards
shall be accelerated; (iv) that the Awards shall be accelerated for a limited
time only; or (v) that acceleration of the Awards shall be subject to additional
conditions precedent (such as a termination of employment following a Change in
Control).
In addition to any action required or authorized by the terms of an Award,
the Committee may take any other action it deems appropriate to ensure the
equitable treatment of Participants in the event of or in anticipation of a
Change in Control, including but not limited to any one or more of the following
with respect to any or all Awards: (i) the acceleration or extension of time
periods for purposes of exercising, vesting in, or realizing gain from, the
Awards; (ii) the waiver of conditions on the Awards that were imposed for the
benefit of the Corporation, (iii) provision for the cash settlement of the
Awards for their equivalent cash value, as determined by the Committee, as of
the date of the Change in Control; or (iv) such other modification or adjustment
to the Awards as the Committee deems appropriate to maintain and protect the
rights and interests of Participants upon or following the Change in Control.
The Committee also may accord any Participant a right to refuse any acceleration
of exercisability, vesting or benefits, whether pursuant to the Award Agreement
or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Committee may approve.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b) or any
provision in an Award Agreement to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the
Committee be deemed to have discretion to accelerate or not accelerate or make
other changes in or to any or all Awards, in respect of a transaction, if such
action or inaction would be inconsistent with or would otherwise frustrate the
intended accounting for a proposed transaction as a pooling of interests under
generally accepted accounting principles; and (ii) if any Award to any Insider
is accelerated to a date that is less than six months after the date of the
Award, the Committee may prohibit a sale of the underlying Stock (other than a
sale by operation or law in exchange for or through conversion into
IV-8
210
other securities), and the Corporation may impose legend and other restrictions
on the Stock to enforce this prohibition.
(c) Change in Control Definition. For purposes of this Plan, a change of
control shall include and be deemed to occur upon the following events:
(1) A tender offer or exchange offer is consummated for the ownership
of securities of the Corporation representing 25% or more of the combined
voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.
(2) The Corporation is merged, combined, consolidated, recapitalized
or otherwise reorganized with one or more other entities that are not
Subsidiaries and, as a result of the merger, combination, consolidation,
recapitalization or other reorganization, less than 75% of the outstanding
voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall
immediately after the event be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders
of the Corporation (directly or indirectly), determined on the basis of
record ownership as of the date of determination of holders entitled to
vote on the action (or in the absence of a vote, the day immediately prior
to the event).
(3) Any person (as this term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act, but excluding any person described in and satisfying
the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) thereunder), becomes the beneficial
owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 25% or more of
the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities
entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.
(4) At any time within any period of two years after a tender offer,
merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization, or other
reorganization or a contested election, or any combination of these events,
the "Incumbent Directors" shall cease to constitute at least a majority of
the authorized number of members of the Board. For purposes hereof,
"Incumbent Directors" shall mean the persons who were members of the Board
immediately before the first of these events and the persons who were
elected or nominated as their successors or pursuant to increases in the
size of the Board by a vote of at least three-fourths of the Board members
who were then Board members (or successors or additional members so elected
or nominated).
(5) The stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of liquidation
and dissolution or the sale or transfer of substantially all of the
Corporation's business and/or assets as an entirety to an entity that is
not a Subsidiary.
(d) Business Acquisitions. Awards may be granted under this Plan on the
terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate, which may differ
from those otherwise required by this Plan to the extent necessary to reflect a
substitution for or assumption of stock incentive awards held by employees of
other entities who become employees of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as the
result of a merger of the employing entity with, or the acquisition of the
property or stock of the employing entity by, the Corporation or a Subsidiary,
directly or indirectly.
SECTION 8. Administration.
(a) Committee Authority and Structure. This Plan and all Awards granted
under this Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board and
constituted so as to permit this Plan to comply with the disinterested
administration requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and the
"outside director" requirement of Code Section 162(m). The members of the
Committee shall be designated by the Board. A majority of the members of the
Committee (but not fewer than two) shall constitute a quorum. The vote of a
majority of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the Committee shall
constitute action by the Committee.
(b) Selection and Grant. The Committee shall have the authority to
determine the Employees (if any) to whom Awards will be granted under this Plan,
the type of Award or Awards to be made, and the nature,
IV-9
211
amount, pricing, timing, and other terms of Awards to be made to any one or more
of these individuals, subject to the terms of this Plan.
(c) Construction and Interpretation. The Committee shall have the power to
interpret and administer this Plan and Award Agreements, and to adopt, amend and
rescind related rules and procedures. All questions of interpretation and
determinations with respect to this Plan, the number of shares of Stock, Stock
Appreciation Rights, or units or other Awards granted, and the terms of any
Award Agreements, the adjustments required or permitted by Section 7, and other
determinations hereunder shall be made by the Committee and its determination
shall be final and conclusive upon all parties in interest. In the event of any
conflict between an Award Agreement and any non-discretionary provisions of this
Plan, the terms of this Plan shall govern.
(d) Express Authority (and Limitations on Authority) to Change Terms of
Awards. Without limiting the Committee's authority under other provisions of
this Plan (including Sections 7 and 9), but subject to any express limitations
of this Plan (including under Sections 7 and 9), the Committee shall have the
authority to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of an Award, to extend the
term or waive early termination provisions of an Award (subject to the maximum
ten-year term under Section 4(b)), to waive the Corporation's rights with
respect to an Award or restrictive conditions of an Award (including forfeiture
conditions), and (subject to stockholder approval) to reduce by amendment the
exercise or purchase price of an outstanding Award, with or without adjusting
any holding period or other terms of the Award, in any case in such
circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate.
(e) Rule 16b-3 Conditions; Bifurcation of Plan. It is the intent of the
Corporation that this Plan and Share-Based Awards hereunder satisfy and be
interpreted in a manner, that, in the case of Participants who are or may be
Insiders, satisfies any applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, so that these
persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules
under Section 16 under the Exchange Act and will not be subjected to avoidable
liability thereunder as to Awards intended to be entitled to the benefits of
Rule 16b-3. If any provision of this Plan or of any Award would otherwise
frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 8(e), that
provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as
to avoid such conflict. To the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict
with this intent, the provision shall be deemed disregarded as to Awards
intended as Rule 16b-3 exempt Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Plan, the provisions of this Plan may at any time be bifurcated by the
Board or the Committee in any manner so that certain provisions of this Plan or
any Award Agreement intended (or required in order) to satisfy the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 are only applicable to Insiders and to those Awards
to Insiders intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3.
(f) Limitations Prior to Expiration of Rule 16b-3 Transition
Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Award granted to
an Insider prior to September 1, 1995 (or any other date at which the transition
period for purposes of new Rule 16b-3, as to this Plan, expires) is subject to
the following additional limitations:
(1) the Award may provide for the issuance of shares of Stock as a
stock bonus for no consideration other than services rendered; and
(2) in the event of an Award under which shares of Stock are or in the
future may be issued for any other type of consideration, the amount of the
consideration either (A) shall be equal to the minimum amount (such as the
par value of the shares) required to be received by the Corporation to
comply with applicable state law, or (B) shall be equal to or greater than
50% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the date of the
Award; provided that in the case of Restricted Stock Awards, the amount
shall equal the minimum lawful amount (but not more than 10% of the market
value of the Stock subject to the Award on the Award Date) and any right to
purchase the Restricted Stock must be exercised within 60 days of the Award
Date.
(g) Delegation and Reliance. The Committee may delegate to the officers or
employees of the Corporation the authority to execute and deliver those
instruments and documents, to do all acts and things, and to take all other
steps deemed necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective administration
of this
IV-10
212
Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose, except that the Committee may not
delegate any discretionary authority to grant or amend an award or with respect
to substantive decisions or functions regarding this Plan or Awards as these
relate to the material terms of Performance-Based Awards to Executive Officers
or to the timing, eligibility, pricing, amount or other material terms of Awards
to Insiders. In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action
under this Plan, the Board and the Committee may obtain and may rely upon the
advice of experts, including professional advisors to the Corporation. No
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation shall be liable for any
such action or determination taken or made or omitted in good faith.
(h) Exculpation and Indemnity. Neither the Corporation nor any member of
the Board of Directors or of the Committee, nor any other person participating
in any determination of any question under this Plan, or in the interpretation,
administration or application of this Plan, shall have any liability to any
party for any action taken or not taken in good faith under this Plan or for the
failure of an Award (or action in respect of an Award) to satisfy Code
requirements as to incentive stock options or to realize other intended tax
consequences, to qualify for exemption or relief under Rule 16b-3 or to comply
with any other law, compliance with which is not required on the part of the
Corporation.
SECTION 9. Amendment and Termination of this Plan.
The Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue this
Plan, subject to any stockholder approval that may be required under applicable
law. The Committee may at any time alter or amend any or all Award Agreements
under this Plan in any manner that would be authorized for a new Award under
this Plan, including but not limited to any manner set forth in Section 8(d)
(subject to any applicable limitations thereunder). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such action by the Board or the Committee shall, in any manner
adverse to a Participant other than as expressly permitted by the terms of an
Award Agreement, affect any Award then outstanding and evidenced by an Award
Agreement without the consent in writing of the Participant or a Beneficiary who
has become entitled to an Award.
SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Unfunded Plans. This Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Corporation
nor the Board of Directors nor the Committee shall be required to segregate any
assets that may at any time be represented by Awards made pursuant to this Plan.
Neither the Corporation, the Committee, nor the Board of Directors shall be
deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid or securities to be issued
under this Plan.
(b) Rights of Employees.
(1) No Right to an Award. Status as an Employee shall not be
construed as a commitment that any one or more Awards will be made under
this Plan to an Employee or to Employees generally. Status as a Participant
shall not entitle the Participant to any additional Award.
(2) No Assurance of Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan (or in
any other documents related to this Plan or to any Award) shall confer upon
any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or other
service of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or constitute any contract (of
employment or otherwise) or limit in any way the right of the Corporation
or any Subsidiary to change a person's compensation or other benefits or to
terminate the employment of a person with or without cause.
(c) Effective Date; Duration. This Plan has been adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation and approved by Lockheed Corporation and Martin
Marietta Corporation as stockholders of the Corporation. This Plan shall become
effective upon and shall be subject to the approvals of the respective
stockholders of Lockheed Corporation and of Martin Marietta Corporation. This
Plan shall remain in effect until any and all Awards under this Plan have been
exercised, converted or terminated under the terms of this Plan and applicable
Award Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Award may be granted under
this Plan after September 21, 2004. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Award
granted prior to such date may be amended
IV-11
213
after such date in any manner that would have been permitted prior to such date,
except that no such amendment shall increase the number of shares subject to,
comprising or referenced in such Award.
(d) Compliance with Laws. This Plan, Award Agreements, and the grant,
exercise, conversion, operation and vesting of Awards, and the issuance and
delivery of shares of Stock and/or other securities or property or the payment
of cash under this Plan, Awards or Award Agreements, are subject to compliance
with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but
not limited to state and federal insider trading, registration, reporting and
other securities laws and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by
any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of
counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith.
Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such restrictions
(and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the
Corporation, provide such evidence, assurance and representations to the
Corporation as to compliance with any thereof) as the Corporation may deem
necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal
requirements.
(f) Applicable Law. This Plan, Award Agreements and any related documents
and matters shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland, except as to matters of Federal law.
(g) Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall limit or be deemed
to limit the authority of the Corporation, the Board or the Committee to grant
awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the
Stock, under any other plan or authority.

DEFINITIONS
Whenever the following terms are used in this Plan they shall have the
meaning specified below unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary:

Account and Dividend Equivalent Account, whether before or after a termination
of service, which Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Director's
Dividend Equivalent Stock Account in accordance with Section 4.2(b) below.
(b) Dividend Equivalent Stock Account. The Director's Dividend Equivalent
Stock Account shall be credited with an additional number of Units determined by
dividing the amount of Dividend Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Stock as of each dividend payment date. The Units credited to a
Director's Dividend Equivalent Stock Account shall be allocated (for purposes of

adjustment in accordance with Section 4.5.
4.3. Vesting of Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock Account.
The rights of each Director in respect of his or her Stock Unit Account and

Section 4.4, each Director shall be entitled to receive a distribution of his or
her Accounts upon a termination of service (including but not limited to a
retirement or resignation) as a Director of the Corporation.
V-2
218
(b) Manner of Distribution. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be
distributed to the Director (or, in the event of his or her death, the
Director's Beneficiary) in a lump sum, unless the Director elects in writing (on
forms provided by the Corporation) by the time specified in Section 4.4(f), to
receive a distribution of his or her benefits in respect of such Units in
approximately equal annual installments (before giving effect to
post-termination crediting of additional Dividend Equivalents before the
applicable payment date) for up to five years thereafter. Elections with respect
to any Units in the Stock Unit Account shall apply to all Dividend Equivalent
Units attributable to those Stock Units, and to all Dividend Equivalent Units
attributable to those Dividend Equivalent Units. Installment payments shall
commence as of the date benefits become distributable under Section 4.4(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the vested balance remaining in a Director's
Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock Account is less than 50 shares,
then the remaining balance shall be distributed in shares in a lump sum.
(c) Effect of Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Sections 4.4(a) and
(b), if a Director's service as a director terminates by reason of Disability,
or a Director or former Director dies, the distribution of a Director's Accounts
(including remaining Account balances of a former Director) shall be made
immediately in a lump sum.
(d) Form of Distribution. Stock Units credited to a Director's Stock Unit
Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock Account shall be paid and distributed by
means of a distribution of an equivalent whole number of shares of the Common
Stock. Fractions shall be accumulated and converted to Units, but any fractional
interest in a Unit shall be paid in cash on final distribution.
(e) Sub-Accounts. The Administrator shall retain sub-accounts of a
Director's Accounts as may be necessary to determine which Units are subject to
any distribution elections under Section 4.4(b).
(f) Timing of Elections. A Director may elect an installment distribution
as provided in Section 4.4(b) only with respect to Units credited on a June 1
which is at least 12 months following his or her election. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, a Director's election to receive an installment distribution
may be made (i) with respect to Units to be credited on June 1, 1995, within 30
days after the Merger (or, if later, at the time described in clause (ii)), and
(ii) with respect to Units credited during the Director's first year of service
on the Board, within 30 days after the Director commenced service as a Director
(but in any event prior to the date on which the Units are credited).
4.5. Adjustments in Case of Changes in Common Stock. If there shall occur
any recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a
stock dividend), reverse stock split, merger, combination, consolidation, or
other reorganization or any extraordinary non-cash dividend or other
extraordinary distribution in respect of the Stock (whether in the form of
Stock, other securities, or other property), or any split-up, spin-off,
extraordinary redemption, or exchange of outstanding Stock, or there shall occur
any other similar corporate transaction or event in respect of the Stock, or a
sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety,
proportionate and equitable adjustments consistent with the effect of such event
on stockholders generally (but without duplication of benefits if Dividend
Equivalents are credited) shall be made in the number and type of shares of
Common Stock (or other cash, property or securities in respect thereof)
reserved, and of Units, under this Plan.
4.6. Corporation's Right to Withhold. The Corporation shall satisfy state
or federal income tax withholding obligations, if any, arising upon distribution
of a Director's accounts by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock
otherwise deliverable to the Director by the appropriate number of shares (based
on the Average Fair Market Value) required to satisfy such tax withholding
obligation. If the Corporation, for any reason, cannot satisfy the withholding
obligation in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Director shall pay or
provide for payment in cash of the amount of any taxes which the Corporation may
be required to withhold with respect to the benefits hereunder.
4.7. Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. A Director's Accounts
shall be memorandum accounts on the books of the Corporation. The Units credited
to a Director's Accounts shall be used solely as a device for the determination
of the number of shares of Common Stock to be eventually distributed to such
Director in accordance with this Plan. The Units shall not be treated as
property or as a trust fund of any kind,
V-3
219
although the Corporation shall reserve shares to satisfy its obligations under
this Plan. All shares of Common Stock or other amounts attributed to the Units
shall be and remain the sole property of the Corporation, and each Director's
rights in the Units is limited to the right to receive shares of Common Stock in
the future as herein provided. No Director shall be entitled to any voting or
other stockholder rights with respect to Units granted under this Plan. The
number of Units credited under this Section shall be subject to adjustment in
accordance with Section 4.5.
4.8. Restrictions on Resale. Stock distributed in respect of those Stock
Units that were first credited under Section 4.1 within six months of the
distribution (and Dividend Equivalent Account Units credited under Section 4.2
solely in respect thereof) may be legended or otherwise restricted so as to
prevent a sale of the Stock within six months of the initial crediting of those
Stock Units. Installments shall be deemed payable and paid in the order (i.e.,
last-in, last-out) of the accrual of the underlying Units.
ARTICLE V

relating solely to his or her benefits. Subject to the foregoing, the Board may

Plan, and provide forms and procedures to facilitate the implementation of this
Plan.
5.2. Decisions Final; Delegation; Reliance; and Limitation on
Liability. Any determination of the Board or committee made in good faith shall

with any other law, compliance with which is not required on the part of the

determine the amount, price or timing of benefits related to Stock Units or
Dividend Equivalents shall not be amended more than once every six months (other

V-4
220

not give any Director the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board or
any rights or interests other than as herein provided. No Director shall have
any right to any payment or benefit hereunder except to the extent provided in
this Plan. This Plan shall create only a contractual obligation on the part of
the Corporation as to such amounts and shall not be construed as creating a
trust. This Plan, in and of itself, has no assets. Directors shall have only the
rights of general unsecured creditors of the Corporation with respect to amounts
credited or vested and benefits payable, if any, on their Accounts.
7.2. Beneficiaries.

(including any applicable community property and probate laws).
(b) Definition of Beneficiary. A Director's "Beneficiary" or
"Beneficiaries" shall be the person or persons, including a trust or trusts,

Director's benefits under this Plan in the event of the Director's death.
7.3. Benefits Not Assignable; Obligations Binding Upon
Successors. Benefits of a Director under this Plan shall not be assignable or

therein, other than pursuant to Section 7.2, shall not be permitted or
recognized. Obligations of the Corporation under this Plan shall be binding upon
successors of the Corporation.
7.4. Governing Law; Severability. The validity of this Plan or any of its
provisions shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under

unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully
effective.

this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws,
rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal reporting,
registration, insider trading and other securities laws) and to such approvals

222
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. 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 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 the 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 a 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 the 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 appropriate 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
corporation 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 corporation's directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law. In addition,
the Registrant's officers and directors are covered by certain insurance
policies maintained by the Registrant.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any
public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information
called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called
for by the other Items of the applicable form.
The Registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant
to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an
offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Act, 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Registration Statement on Form S-4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lockheed Martin Corporation, a Maryland
corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the filing of the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the
"Registration Statement") for the registration of 208,552,547 shares of Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Corporation
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In this capacity,
we have reviewed the Charter of the Corporation as certified by the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland and all
amendments or proposed amendments thereto as filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, the Bylaws of the Corporation and all amendments or
proposed amendments thereto as filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, the Registration Statement including the exhibits thereto, the
corporate proceedings of the Corporation relating to the authorization of the
issuance of the Common Shares, and such certificates and other documents as we
deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of expressing the opinion
contained herein.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, upon approval of the
mergers of Atlantic Sub, Inc. with and into Martin Marietta Corporation and
Pacific Sub, Inc. with and into Lockheed Corporation (collectively, the
"Mergers") by the respective stockholders of Martin Marietta Corporation and
Lockheed Corporation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
the Registration Statement and the filing of Articles of Merger with the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland and a
Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and
issuance

Re: Lockheed Martin Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lockheed Martin Corporation, a Maryland
corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the filing of the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the
"Registration Statement") for the registration of 208,552,547 shares of Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Corporation
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In this capacity,
we have reviewed the Charter of the Corporation as certified by the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland and all
amendments or proposed amendments thereto as filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, the Bylaws of the Corporation and all amendments or
proposed amendments thereto as filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, the Registration Statement including the exhibits thereto, the
corporate proceedings of the Corporation relating to the authorization of the
issuance of the Common Shares, and such certificates and other documents as we
deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of expressing the opinions
contained herein.
Upon closing of the transactions described in the Registration Statement
(the "Closing"), the Charter of the Corporation will provide that the
authorized capital of the Corporation includes 20,000,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), with a
preference on liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, of $50 per share
before any distribution or payment is made to holders of Common Shares or
shares of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior, as to
dividends or assets distributable on liquidation, to shares of the Preferred
Stock.
2
Lockheed Martin Corporation
February 9, 1995
Page 2
You have requested our opinions with respect to whether at or after the
Closing, there will be any restrictions on surplus of the Corporation by reason
of the excess of the amount of the involuntary liquidation preference of the
Preferred Stock over the par value of the Preferred Stock, and also as to any
remedies that will be available to securities holders before or after payment
of any dividend that would reduce surplus to an amount less than the amount of
such excess. In rendering the opinions expressed in this letter we note that
there are no controlling published decisions of an appellate court of the State
of Maryland.
The only express restriction upon the use of surplus of a Maryland general
business corporation contained in the Constitution or statutes of the State of
Maryland is that contained in Section 2-311(a) of the Maryland General
Corporation Law. That section provides that a Maryland general business
corporation may not make a distribution if, after giving effect to that
distribution, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay indebtedness as it
becomes due in the usual course of business or (ii) the corporation's total
assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus, unless the
charter of the corporation permits otherwise, the amount that would be needed,
if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to
satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders, such as
holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, whose preferential rights on
dissolution are superior to those stockholders who otherwise would receive the
distribution.
The Charter of the Corporation will specifically provide at Closing that
"[i]n determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or
involuntary liquidation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of
shares or otherwise, is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law,
no effect shall be given to amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation
were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the
preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights
upon dissolution are superior to those receiving the distribution."
Accordingly, it is our opinion that the excess of the liquidation preference of
the Preferred Stock over its par value will not constitute a restriction upon
the surplus of the Corporation. In view of the foregoing, it is also our
opinion that there are no remedies available to any security holder of the
Corporation before or after payment of any dividend that would reduce surplus
to an amount less than the excess of the liquidation preference of the
Preferred Stock over its par value unless the Corporation is at that time in
liquidation.

contemplated by the Transaction Documents otherwise act to seek to
2
3
control, disrupt or influence the management, policies or affairs, of
Parent except with the approval of management of Parent;
(i) sell or otherwise transfer in any manner any Voting
Securities to any "person" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
of the 1934 Act) who owns or who as a result of such sale or transfer
will own more than three percent (3%) of any class of Voting
Securities or who, without the approval of the Board of Directors of
Parent, has proposed a business combination or similar transaction
with, or a change of control of, Parent or who has proposed a tender
offer for Voting Securities or who has discussed the possibility of
proposing a business combination or similar transaction with, or a
change in control of, Parent with GE or any of its respective
affiliates or associates;
(j) solicit, seek to effect, negotiate with or provide
any information to any other party with respect to, or make any
statement or proposal, whether written or oral, to the Board of
Directors of Parent or any director or officer of Parent or otherwise
make any public announcement or proposal whatsoever with respect to,
any form of business combination transaction involving Parent,
including, without limitation, a merger, exchange offer or liquidation
of Parent's assets, or any restructuring, recapitalization or similar
transaction with respect to Parent; or
(k) instigate or encourage any third party to do any of the
foregoing.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.01 nothing herein
shall apply to any Voting Securities held in any account managed for the
benefit of another person by General Electric Capital Services, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (including, without limitation, Kidder Peabody Group Inc. and
General Electric Capital Corporation), General Electric Investment Corporation,
General Electric Investment Management Incorporated or any other affiliate of
GE engaged in the financial services business (collectively, the "Financial
Services Group").
If GE or any of its affiliates or associates owns or acquires any
Voting Securities in violation of this Agreement, such Voting Securities shall
immediately be disposed of to persons who are not affiliates or associates
thereof but only in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.01;
provided, however, that Parent may also pursue any other available remedy to
which it may be entitled as a result of such violation.
SECTION 3.02 Board Representation. Parent will cause two persons
designated by GE and reasonably acceptable to Parent to be elected to Parent's
Board of Directors as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.
Thereafter, during the Term and subject to the further provisions hereof, the
Parent's nominating committee (or any other committee exercising a similar
function) shall recommend to the Parent's Board of Directors that such persons
or any two other persons designated by GE after consultation with the Parent be
included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to shareholders for
election as directors at each annual meeting of shareholders of the Parent
commencing with the next annual meeting of shareholders. In the event that
any of such designees shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the
vacancy resulting thereby shall be filled by a person designated by GE and
reasonably acceptable to Parent.
If the size of the Parent's Board of Directors is increased, Parent
agrees to cause additional persons designated by GE and reasonably acceptable
to Parent to be elected to Parent's Board of Directors so that GE's designees
shall at no time constitute less than 10% of the members of such Board.
Upon expiration of the Term, GE shall have no further rights under
this Section 3.02 and shall cause its designees on Parent's Board of Directors
to resign forthwith.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.02, GE shall not be
entitled to designate any person to Parent's Board of Directors if such
designation would result in any violation of applicable law or order. Parent
shall not be obligated to elect to its Board of Directors any person who would
cause or be reasonably likely to cause Parent to be unable in any material
respect to conduct its business. If any such person has been designated by GE
and rejected by Parent, GE shall be permitted to designate a substitute
designee for such person in accordance with this Section 3.02.
SECTION 3.03 Voting. (a) During the Term, whenever GE or any of its
affiliates or associates shall have the right to vote such Voting Securities,
GE shall (i) be present, in person or represented by proxy, at all
3
4
stockholder meetings of Parent so that all Voting Securities beneficially owned
by it and its affiliates and associates shall be counted for the purpose of
determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings, and (ii) subject to
Section 3.03(b) below, vote or cause to be voted, or consent with respect to,
all Voting Securities beneficially owned by it and its affiliates and
associates in the manner recommended by Parent's Board of Directors, except
that during any period or at any time when there shall be in full force and
effect a valid order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or a
ruling, pronouncement or requirement of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.
("NYSE") to the effect that the foregoing provision of this Section 3.03 is
invalid, void, unenforceable or not in accordance with NYSE policy, then GE
will if so requested by the Board of Directors of Parent, vote or cause to be
voted all of its Voting Securities beneficially owned by it and its affiliates
and associates in the same proportion as the votes cast by or on behalf of the
other holders of Parent's Voting Securities.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
3.03(a) above, (i) GE shall have the right to vote shares of Preferred Stock
held by it freely, without regard to any request or recommendation of the Board
of Directors of Parent, with respect to the matters specified in Article VI
Section (A)(5) of Parent's Charter establishing the terms of the Preferred
Stock and (ii) the provisions of Section 3.03(a) shall not apply to Voting
Securities held in any account managed for the benefit of another person by any
person within the Financial Services Group.
ARTICLE IV
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
SECTION 4.01 Right of First Offer. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.01, if GE desires to transfer any Voting Securities it shall give
written notice ("GE's Notice") to Parent (i) stating that it desires to make
such transfer, and (ii) setting forth the number of shares of Voting Securities
proposed to be transferred (the "Offered Shares"), the cash price per share that
GE proposes to be paid for such Offered Shares (the "Offer Price"), and the
other material terms and conditions of such transfer. GE's Notice shall
constitute an irrevocable offer by GE to sell to Parent the Offered Shares at
the Offer Price in cash.
(b) Within 10 Business Days after receipt of GE's Notice, Parent
may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at the
Offer Price in cash by delivery of a notice ("Parent's Notice") to GE stating
Parent's irrevocable acceptance of the Offer.
(c) If Parent fails to elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares
within the time period specified in Section 4.01(b), then GE may, within a
period of 120 days following the expiration of the time period specified in
Section 4.01(b), transfer (or enter into an agreement to transfer) all or any
Offered Shares; provided that if the purchase, price per share to be paid by
any purchaser of the Offered Shams is less than 90% of the Offer Price (the
"Reduced Transfer Price"), GE shall promptly provide written notice (the
"Reduced Transfer Price Notice") to Parent of such intended transfer (including
the material terms and conditions thereof) and Parent shall have the right,
exercisable by delivery of a written election notice to GE within five Business
Days of receipt of such notice, to purchase such Offered Shares at the Reduced
Transfer Price.
(d) If Parent fails to elect to purchase the Offered Shares at the
Offer Price (or, if applicable, the Reduced Transfer Price) within the relevant
time period specified in Section 4.01(b) and GE shall not have transferred or
entered into an agreement to transfer the Offered Shares prior to the
expiration of the 120-day period specified in Section 4.01(c), the right of
first offer under this Section 4.01 shall again apply in connection with any
subsequent transfer of such Offered Shares.
(e) Any purchase of Voting Securities by Parent pursuant to this
Section 4.01 shall be on a mutually determined closing date which shall not be
more than 15 days after the last notice is given with respect to such purchase.
The closing shall be held at 10:00 A.M., local time, at the principal office
of Parent, or at such other time or place as the parties mutually agree.
4
5
(f) On the closing date, GE shall deliver (i) certificates
representing the shares of Voting Securities being sold, free and clear of any
lien, claim or encumbrance, and (ii) such other documents, including evidence
of ownership and authority, as Parent may reasonably request. The purchase
price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later
than 2:00 P.M. on the closing date.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not less than 30 Business Days
prior to any proposed sale by GE of Voting Securities pursuant to this Section
4.01 to any Restricted Person (as defined below) GE shall give notice of the
identity of such Restricted Person to Parent and Parent shall have the right,
exercisable by delivery of a written election notice to GE within 20 Business
Days of the notice from GE of the proposed sale, to purchase the Offered Shares
at the Offer Price (or Reduced Transfer Price, as the case may be) at which the
Restricted Person agreed to purchase the Offered Shares. If Parent fails to
purchase the Offered Shares within such 20-day period, GE shall be permitted to
proceed with its sale to such Restricted Person in accordance with Section 4.01
(c). "Restricted Person" shall mean a person who is a significant competitor of
Parent or any subsidiary of Parent or whose ownership of Voting Securities of
Parent would cause Parent or any of Parent's subsidiaries to be materially
adversely affected in bidding for or obtaining contracts with federal state or
local governmental entities.
4.02 Rights Pursuant to a Tender Offer. GE shall have the right to
sell or exchange all its Voting Securities pursuant to a tender or exchange
offer for at least a majority of the Voting Securities (an "Offer"). However,
prior to such sale or exchange, GE shall give Parent the opportunity to
purchase such Voting Securities in the following manner:
(i) GE shall give notice (the "Tender Notice") to Parent
in writing of its intention to sell or exchange Voting Securities in
response to an Offer no later than three calendar days prior to the
latest time (including any extensions) by which Voting Securities must
be tendered in order to be accepted pursuant to such Offer, specifying
the amount of Voting Securities proposed to be tendered by GE (the
"Tendered Shares") and the purchase price per share, specified in the
Offer at the time of the Tender Notice.
(ii) If the Tender Notice is given, Parent shall have the
right to purchase all but not part, of the Tendered Shares exercisable
by giving written notice (an "Exercise Notice") to GE at least two
calendar days prior to the latest time after delivery of the Tender
Notice by which Voting Securities must be tendered in order to be
accepted pursuant to the Offer (including any extensions thereof) and
depositing in escrow (or similar arrangement) a sum in cash sufficient
to purchase all Tendered Shares at the price then being offered in the
Offer, without regard to any provision thereof with respect to
proration or conditions to the offeror's obligation to purchase. The
delivery by Parent of an Exercise Notice and deposit of funds as
provided above will except as provided below, constitute an
irrevocable agreement by Parent to purchase, and GE to sell the
Tendered Shares in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.02,
whether or not the Offer or any other tender or exchange offer (a
"Competing Tender Offer") for Voting Securities that was outstanding
during the Offer is consummated.
(iii) The purchase price to be paid by Parent for any
Voting Securities purchased by it pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall
be the highest price offered or paid in the Offer or in any Competing
Tender Offer. For purposes hereof, the price offered or paid in a
tender or exchange offer for Voting Shares shall be deemed to be the
price offered or paid pursuant thereto, without regard to any
provisions thereof with respect to proration or conditions to the
offeror's obligation to purchase. If the purchase price per share
specified in the Offer includes any property other than cash (the
"Offer Noncash Property"), the purchase price per share at which
Parent shall be entitled to purchase all but not part, of the Voting
Securities specified in the Tender Notice shall be (y) the amount of
cash per share, if any, specified in such Offer (the "Cash Portion"),
plus (z) an amount of cash per share equal to the value of the Offer
Noncash Property per share (the "Cash Value of Offer Noncash
Property"), as determined in good faith by the mutual agreement of the
parties hereto, or if the parties cannot agree, by a nationally
recognized investment banking firm selected by mutual agreement of the
parties. If Parent exercises its right of first refusal by giving an
Exercise Notice, the closing of the purchase of the Voting Securities
with respect to such right (the "Closing") shall take place at 3:00
p.m., local time (or, if earlier, two hours before the
5
6
latest time by which Voting Securities must be tendered in order to be
accepted Pursuant to the Offer), on the last day on which Voting
Securities must be tendered in order to be accepted pursuant to the
Offer (including any extensions thereof) (the "Last Tender Date"), and
Parent shall pay the purchase price for the Voting Securities
specified above. GE shall be entitled to rescind its Tender Notice at
any time prior to the Last Tender Date by notice in writing to Parent;
provided, however, that if on or before the Last Tender Date, Parent
publicly announces that Parent has approved, proposed or entered into
an agreement with respect to (either individually or together with any
other persons) a recapitalization, reorganization or business
combination with respect to Parent or all or substantially all of its
assets, GE shall be entitled to rescind its Tender Notice by notice in
writing to Parent at any time prior to the Closing on the Last Tender
Date. If GE rescinds its Tender Notice pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, Parent's Exercise Notice with respect to such
Offer shall be deemed to be immediately rescinded and GE's disposition
of its Voting Securities in response to the Offer with respect to which
the Tender Notice is rescinded or any other Offer shall again be
subject to all of the provisions of this Section 4.02.
(iv) If Parent does not exercise its right of first
refusal set forth in this Section 4.02 within the time specified for
such exercise by giving an Exercise Notice, then GE shall be free to
accept, for all its Voting Securities, the Offer with respect to which
the Tender Notice was given (including any increases and extensions
thereof).
SECTION 4.03 Assignment of Rights. Parent may assign any of its
rights of first refusal under this Article IV to any subsidiary or affiliate of
Parent without the consent of GE, provided, however, that no such assignment
shall relieve Parent of any of its obligations pursuant to this Article IV. In
the event that Parent elects to exercise a right of first refusal under this
Article IV, Parent may specify in its Exercise Notice (or thereafter prior to
purchase) another such person as its designee to purchase the Voting Securities
to which such notice relates.
ARTICLE V
SECTION 5.01 Registration Upon Request. At any time commencing on the
date hereof and continuing thereafter, GE shall have the right to make written
demand upon Parent, on not more than five separate occasions (subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.01), to register under the 1933 Act, shares of
Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock received by GE in connection with its
conversion of the Preferred Stock issued to it pursuant to the Merger Agreement
or acquired in accordance with this Agreement (the shares subject to such demand
hereunder being referred to as the "Subject Stock"), and Parent shall use its
best efforts to cause such shares to be registered under the 1933 Act as soon
as reasonably practicable so as to permit the sale thereof promptly; provided,
however, that each such demand shall cover at least $100,000,000 liquidation
preference of Preferred Stock or 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar
events after the date hereof). In connection therewith, Parent shall prepare,
and within 120 days of the receipt of the request, file, on Form S-3 if
permitted or otherwise on the appropriate form, a registration statement under
the 1933 Act to effect such registration. GE agrees to provide all such
information and materials and to take all such action as may be reasonably
required in order to permit Parent to comply with all applicable requirements
of the 1933 Act and the SEC and to obtain any desired acceleration of the
effective date of such registration statement. If the offering to be
registered is to be underwritten, the managing underwriter shall be selected by
GE and shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent and GE shall enter into an
underwriting agreement containing customary terms and conditions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent (i) shall not be obligated to prepare or
file more than one registration statement other than for purposes of a stock
option or other employee benefit or similar plan during any twelve-month
period, (ii) shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time,
the filing of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and
filed by Parent if (A) Parent is, at such time, conducting or about to conduct
an underwritten public offering of securities and is advised by its managing
underwriter or underwriters in writing (with a copy to GE), that such offering
would, in its or their opinion, be materially adversely affected by the
registration so requested, or (B) Parent determines in its reasonable judgment
and in good faith that the registration and distribution of the shares of
Subject Stock would interfere with any announced or imminent material
financing, acquisition, disposition, corporate
6
7
reorganization or other material transaction of a similar type involving
Parent. In the event of such postponement, GE shall have the right to withdraw
the request for registration by giving written notice to Parent within 20 days
after receipt of the notice of postponement (and, in the event of such
withdrawal such request shall not be counted for purposes of determining the
number of registrations to which GE is entitled pursuant to this Section 5.01).
Parent shall not grant to any other holder of its securities, whether currently
outstanding or issued in the future, any incidental or piggyback registration
rights with respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to a demand
registration under this Section 5.01 and without the prior consent of GE,
Parent will not permit any other holder of its securities to participate in any
offering made pursuant to a demand registration under this Section 5.01.
SECTION 5.02 Incidental Registration Rights. If Parent proposes to
register any of its Voting Securities under the 1933 Act (other than (i)
pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof, (ii) securities to be issued pursuant to a
stock option or other employee benefit or similar plan, and (iii) securities
proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection
with a merger or consolidation with, another corporation), Parent shall, as
promptly as practicable, give written notice to GE of Parent's intention to
effect such registration. If, within 15 days after receipt of such notice, GE
submits a written request to Parent specifying the amount of Voting Securities
that it proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of in accordance with this
Section 5.02, Parent shall use its best efforts to include the shares specified
in GE's request in such registration. If the offering pursuant to such
registration statement is to be made by or through underwriters, the managing
underwriters shall be chosen by Parent and shall be reasonably satisfactory to
GE and Parent, and GE and such underwriter shall execute an underwriting
agreement in customary form. If the managing underwriter reasonably determines
in good faith and advises GE in writing that the inclusion in the registration
statement of all the Voting Securities proposed to be included would interfere
with the successful marketing of the securities proposed to be registered, then
Parent and GE shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon an equitable
adjustment in the number or amount of securities of each to be included in such
underwriting. No registration effected under this Section 5.02 shall relieve
Parent of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section
5.01. If GE has been permitted to participate in a proposed offering pursuant
to this Section 5.02, Parent thereafter may determine either not to file a
registration statement relating thereto, or to withdraw such registration
statement, or otherwise not to consummate such offering, without any liability
hereunder. Any underwriters participating in a distribution of GE Voting
Securities pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof shall use all reasonable
efforts to effect as wide a distribution as is reasonably practicable, and in
no event shall any sale (other than a sale to underwriters making such a
distribution) of shares of Voting Securities be made knowingly to any person
(including its affiliates or associates and any group in which that person or
its affiliates or associates shall be a member if GE or underwriters know of
the existence of such a group or affiliate or associate) that, after giving
effect to such sale, would beneficially own Voting Securities representing
three percent (3%) or more of the Total Voting Power. GE shall use all
reasonable efforts to secure the agreement of the underwriters, in connection
with any underwritten offering of its Voting Securities, to comply with the
foregoing.
SECTION 5.03 Registration Mechanics. In connection with any offering
of shares of Subject Stock registered pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02 herein,
Parent shall (i) furnish to GE such number of copies of any prospectus
(including preliminary and summary prospectuses) and conformed copies of the
registration statement (including amendments or supplements thereto and, in
each case, all exhibits) and such other documents as it may reasonably request,
but only while Parent shall be required under the provisions hereof to cause
the registration statement to remain current; (ii) (A) use its best efforts to
register or qualify the Subject Stock covered by such registration statement
under such blue sky or other state securities laws for offer and sale as GE
shall reasonably request and (B) keep such registration or qualification in
effect for so long as the registration statement remains in effect; provided,
however, that Parent shall not be obligated to qualify to do business as a
foreign corporation under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it shall not
then be qualified or to file any general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction in which such a consent has not been previously filed or subject
itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be
subject to tax but for the requirements of this Section 5.03; (iii) use its
best efforts to cause all shares of Subject Stock covered by such registration
statement to be registered with or approved by such other federal or state
government agencies or authorities as may be necessary in the opinion of
counsel to Parent to enable GE to
7
8
consummate the disposition of such shares of Subject Stock; (iv) notify GE any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
1933 Act upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of
which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, and (subject to the good faith determination of Parent's Board of
Directors as to whether to permit sales under such registration statement), at
the request of GE promptly prepare and furnish to it a reasonable number of
copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made; (v) otherwise use its best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; (vi) use its best
efforts to list, if required by the rules of the applicable securities exchange
or, if securities of the same class are then so listed, the Subject Stock
covered by such registration statement on the New York Stock Exchange or on any
other securities exchange on which Subject Stock is then listed; and (vii)
before filing any registration statement or any amendment or supplement
thereto, and as far in advance as is reasonably practicable, furnish to GE and
its counsel copies of such documents. In connection with any offering of
Subject Stock registered pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, Parent shall (x)
furnish to the underwriter, if any, unlegended certificates representing
ownership of the Subject Stock being sold in such denominations as requested
and (y) instruct any transfer agent and registrar of the Subject Stock to
release any stop transfer orders with respect to such Subject Stock. Upon any
registration becoming effective pursuant to Section 6.01, Parent shall use its
best efforts to keep such registration statement current for a period of 60
days (or 90 days, if Parent is eligible to use a Form S-3, or successor form)
or such shorter period as shall be necessary to effect the distribution of the
Subject Stock.
GE agrees that upon receipt of any notice from Parent of the happening
of any event of the kind described in subdivision (iv) of this Section 5.03, it
will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Subject Stock pursuant to the
registration statement relating to such Subject Stock until its receipt of the
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision
(iv) of this Section 5.03 and, if so directed by Parent, will deliver to Parent
all copies then in its possession of the prospectus relating to such Subject
Stock current at the time of receipt of such notice. If GE's disposition of
Subject Stock is discontinued pursuant to the foregoing sentence, unless Parent
thereafter extends the effectiveness of the registration statement to permit
dispositions of Subject Stock by GE for an aggregate of 60 days (or 90 days, if
Parent is eligible to use a Form S-3, or successor form), whether or not
consecutive, the registration statement shall not be counted for purposes of
determining the number of registrations to which GE is entitled pursuant to
Section 5.01.
SECTION 5.04 Expenses. GE shall pay all agent fees and commissions
and underwriting discounts and commissions related to shares of Subject Stock
being sold by GE and the fees and disbursements of its counsel and accountants
and Parent shall pay all fees and disbursements of its counsel and accountants
in connection with any registration pursuant to this Article V. All other fees
and expenses in connection with any registration statement (including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees, all printing costs, all fees and
expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws) shall (i) in the case
of a registration pursuant to Section 5.01, be borne equally by GE and Parent
and (ii) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 5.02, be shared pro
rata based upon the respective market values of the securities to be sold by
Parent, GE and any other holders participating in such offering provided, that
GE shall not pay any expenses relating to work that would otherwise be incurred
by Parent including, but not limited to, the preparation and filing of periodic
reports with the SEC.
Section 5.05 Indemnification and Contribution. In the case of any
offering registered pursuant to this Article V, Parent to indemnify and hold
GE, each underwriter, if any, of the Subject Stock under such registration and
each person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act, and any officer, employee or partner of the foregoing, harmless
against any and all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including
reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in the
8
9
investigation and defense thereof) to which they or any of them may become
subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise (collectively "Losses"), insofar as any
such Losses shall arise out of or shall be based upon (i) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration
statement relating to the sale of such Subject Stock (as amended if Parent
shall have filed with the SEC any amendment thereof), or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
prospectus relating to the sale of such Subject Stock (as amended or
supplemented if Parent shall have filed with the SEC any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided,
however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5.05 shall not
apply to such Losses which shall arise out of or shall be based upon any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged
omission, which shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to Parent by GE or any such underwriter, as
the case may be, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the
registration statement or prospectus contained in the registration statement or
any such amendment thereof or supplement therein.
In the case of each offering registered pursuant to this Article V, GE
and each underwriter, if any, participating therein shall agree, substantially
in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in the preceding
paragraph, severally to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and each person, if
any, who controls Parent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, and
the directors and officers of Parent, with respect to any statement in or
omission from such registration statement or prospectus contained in such
registration statement (as amended or as supplemented, if amended or
supplemented as aforesaid) if such statement or omission shall have been made
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
Parent by GE or such underwriter, as the case may be, specifically for use in
connection with the preparation of such registration statement or prospectus
contained in such registration statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto.
Each party indemnified under this Section 5.05 shall, promptly after
receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such indemnified
party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure of any
indemnified party to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action which it may
have to such indemnified party on account of the indemnity contained in this
Section 5.05, unless (and only to the extent) the indemnifying party was
prejudiced by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the
indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to such
indemnified party. In case any action in respect of which indemnification may
be sought hereunder shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
desire, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5.05 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation (unless
such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds
that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in
addition to those available to such indemnifying party in which event the
indemnified party shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal
counsel). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any claim or pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which the indemnified party is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim or
proceeding.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.05 is
unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold such indemnified
party harmless from any Losses in respect of which this Section 5.05
9
10
would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions
provided herein), then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall have a joint and several obligation
to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by and fault of the indemnifying party, on the one
hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the
offering to which such contribution relates as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefit shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, the amount of proceeds received by each party
from the offering to which such contribution relates. The relative fault shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, each party's relative
knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which
the claim was asserted and the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement
or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses
shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any investigation or proceeding, to the extent such
party would have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification
provided for in this Section 5.05 was available to such party.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5.05 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
ARTICLE VI
SPECIAL LIQUIDITY PROVISIONS
SECTION 6.01 Tenth Anniversary Offering. No later than 90 days prior
to the tenth anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date for the Preferred Stock
(as defined in Parent's Charter), GE shall engage a nationally recognized
investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to Parent to make an underwritten
public offering of all Preferred Stock then held by GE at a per share price no
less than the liquidation preference per share of the Preferred Stock. Such
offering shall be conducted so as to satisfy the requirements for distribution
of Voting Securities contained in the last two sentences of Section 5.02.
Parent shall promptly file a registration statement registering the shares of
Preferred Stock to be sold and GE, Parent and the applicable underwriters shall
use their best efforts to consummate such offering, unless the underwriter
managing the offering advises Parent in writing that in the underwriter's good
faith opinion, given then-applicable market conditions, the offering cannot be
consummated at the price and on the terms specified above or that the inclusion
of all (or a specified number) of shares of Preferred Stock in an offering at
the price and on the terms specified above would materially adversely affect
such offering (in which event, GE and Parent shall proceed with the unaffected
portion thereof).
SECTION 6.02 Mandatory Conversions. (a) If GE continues to own
Preferred Stock after the offering contemplated by Section 6.01 above, or such
offering is not consummated, Parent must convert for Equity Conversion
Securities (as defined below) on each anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date
of the Preferred Stock commencing with the tenth anniversary thereof (unless as
of the date of such tenth anniversary, there is then being conducted an offering
pursuant to Section 6.01, in which event the obligations pursuant to this
Section shall be tolled until the later of 60 days after such anniversary date
and the consummation or withdrawal of such offering), $200 million aggregate
liquidation preference of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that to the
extent GE has sold, converted or otherwise disposed of any Preferred Stock
(including any Preferred Stock redeemed in accordance with its terms) prior to
the first Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined in Section 6.03 below) (whether
disposed of pursuant to the offering contemplated by Section 6.01 or otherwise)
the amount of Preferred Stock to be converted shall be reduced by the amount so
sold or disposed of in reverse chronological order (i.e., with the aggregate
liquidation preference to be converted on the fourteenth anniversary being the
first amount so reduced and the aggregate liquidation preference to be
converted on the tenth anniversary being the last amount so reduced).
10
11
(b) "Equity Conversion Securities" shall mean (i) Common Stock,
(ii) a perpetual convertible or non-convertible preferred stock where the
dividend rate is intended to be the rate necessary to value such preferred
stock at its stated liquidation preference (and in any event no more than 11%)
and with such other terms as are customary for issuers of similar credit
posture to Parent at the time of issuance (a "Market Preferred") and (iii) a
perpetual 11% non-convertible preferred stock which is not callable by Parent
until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance (and in no event is
callable at less than par thereafter) and otherwise with terms customary for
issuers of similar credit posture to Parent at the time of issuance (the "11%
Preferred"). GE shall have the right to request Backstop Registration for
Market Preferred and Common Stock issued as Equity Conversion Securities but
not for 11% Preferred.
SECTION 6.03 Notice of Mandatory Conversion. (a) No fewer than 30 days
prior to an anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (or other date) on which a
conversion of Equity Conversion Securities for Preferred Stock is to occur (a
"Mandatory Conversion Date"), Parent shall give written notice to GE of the
type or combination of types of Equity Conversion Securities it intends to
issue on such Mandatory Conversion Date, the number of shares of each such
type, the value per share it assigns to each such type, the aggregate
liquidation preference of Preferred Stock it intends to mandatorily convert into
each such type, and other material terms of the mandatory conversion, including
a copy of the term sheet, draft articles supplementary, certificate of
designation or other governing instrument for each type of Equity Conversion
Security (other Common Stock).
(b) Within 10 days of Parent's notice, GE shall notify Parent
that, with respect to all or any part of the Preferred Stock being mandatorily
converted and specified in such notice, GE does not wish to retain the Equity
Conversion Securities to be issued upon conversion thereof and that it requests
Backstop Registration (as defined below) in respect thereof. GE's notice to
Parent shall specify those Equity Conversion Securities (if more than one type
is proposed to be issued) as to which it requests Backstop Registration. If GE
fails to elect Backstop Registration within the time period specified above, it
shall be deemed to have elected to retain all of the Equity Conversion
Securities as proposed in Parent's notice.
SECTION 6.04 Surrender of Certificates, Etc. (a) On the Mandatory
Conversion Date, GE shall surrender to Parent certificates representing no less
than the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock to be
mandatorily converted pursuant to Parent's notice above. After the close of
business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the shares of Preferred Stock to be
mandatorily converted shall not accrue dividends. After shares of Preferred
Stock have been designated for mandatory conversion, the right to convert the
shares so designated shall terminate after the close of business on the second
business day immediately preceding the next Mandatory Conversion Date unless
default is made in the delivery of the Equity Conversion Securities. In the
event of default in the delivery of the Equity Conversion Securities, the right
to convert the shares designated for mandatory conversion shall terminate at
the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date that
such default is cured.
(b) Upon surrender in accordance with the aforesaid notice of the
certificate for any shares so converted (duly endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate instruments of transfer, if so required by Parent in such notice),
GE shall be entitled to receive the certificates for the Equity Conversion
Securities. In case fewer than all the shares represented by any such
certificates for Preferred Stock are mandatorily converted, a new certificate
shall be issued representing the unconverted shares without cost to GE.
Notwithstanding the fact that any certificate(s) for Preferred Stock
to be mandatorily converted shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
on and after the Mandatory Conversion Date the shares represented thereby shall
be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and GE's rights as a stockholder of
Parent shall cease with respect to such Preferred Stock.
Section 6.05 Backstop Registration. (a) "Backstop Registration" shall
mean an underwritten public offering of the Equity Conversion Securities
relating to those shares of Preferred Stock of GE specified by GE in its notice
pursuant to Section 6.03(b) above as those which it does not wish to retain. A
Backstop Registration shall register the offering of that amount of Equity
Conversion Securities, the sale of which in a public offering must result in
proceeds, net of underwriting commissions and discounts and other offering
expenses, as shall be equal to not less than the aggregate liquidation
preference of the Preferred Stock for
11
12
which such Equity Conversion Securities have been mandatorily converted. A
Backstop Registration shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
registered public offerings pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.03 and 5.05 hereof,
which shall be deemed to be appropriately modified, except that the managing
underwriter for the Backstop Registration shall be selected by Parent and shall
be reasonably satisfactory to GE, the "Subject Stock" shall be deemed to be the
Equity Conversion Securities, Parent shall not be permitted to postpone or
decline making the Backstop Registration, in whole or in part, and GE shall
bear no expenses with respect thereto. Backstop Registrations shall not be
counted as demand registrations for purposes of Section 5.01 hereof.
(b) GE acknowledges that in connection with the pricing of any
Backstop Registration, the terms of the Market Preferred, including its dividend
rate, may be changed, in the sole discretion of Parent, from the terms thereof
as of the Mandatory Conversion Date, and shall be so changed if required by the
managing underwriter so that the net proceeds of the offering after such change
shall be sufficient, in the opinion of such underwriter, to equal or exceed the
aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock mandatorily converted;
provided, however, that no such change shall be made if it would have an
adverse effect on GE.
(c) When the Backstop Registration contemplated above has been
completed the net proceeds thereof shall be distributed to GE. Any such
offering not consummated within six months of delivery of the notice to Parent
pursuant to Section 6.03(b) shall be deemed to have been abandoned. To the
extent the net proceeds of the Backstop Registration (treating the net proceeds
as zero if such offering has been abandoned) are less than the sum of the
aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock mandatorily converted
and the Interest Amount (as defined below), Parent shall pay to GE an amount in
cash equal to the difference. "Interest Amount" means, with respect to the
aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock mandatorily converted
pursuant to this Section, interest on such aggregate liquidation preference for
each day, from the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date to and including the
date of payment pursuant to this Section 6.05 (c) at a rate per annum equal to
the rate per annum, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as reported by the U.S. Department of Treasury, for such day on
U.S. Treasury Bonds maturing on the date that is the tenth anniversary of such
Mandatory Conversion Date (or if no U.S. Treasury Bonds mature on such date,
then on the date nearest to such date for which such a maturity exists).
(d) Accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the Mandatory
Conversion Date with respect to Preferred Stock subject to mandatory conversion
as provided herein shall be paid in cash on the Mandatory Conversion Date.
ARTICLE VII

Reconfiguration Agreement
Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin Marietta"), Parent Corporation
("Parent") and General Electric Company ("GE") agree as follows:
1. GE has been furnished with a copy of the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of August 29, 1994 (as such Agreement is effect on the
date hereof, the "Agreement"), among Parent, Martin Marietta and Lockheed
Corporation ("Lockheed"). GE's management agrees to support the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement and to recommend to GE's Board of Directors that
(x) GE's shares of Martin Marietta Preferred Stock be voted in favor thereof
and (y) GE not assert any appraisal or dissenter's rights under the General
Corporation Law of Maryland in connection with the transactions set forth in
the Agreement.
2. (a) GE acknowledges that the Atlantic Sub Merger is intended to
qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment, and confirms as of the
date hereof and with respect to the period beginning on the date hereof and
ending at such time following the Merger Date as results covering at least 30
days of combined operations of Parent, Martin Marietta and Lockheed have been
published by Parent (which results will be published by Parent as promptly as
is practicable), that, except pursuant to the Transaction Documents (as defined
in the Transaction Agreement dated November 22, 1992, as amended, among GE,
Martin Marietta and Martin Marietta Technologies, Inc. ("Technologies")) or any
transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the "Excepted Transactions"),
it will not sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any shares of Martin
Marietta Preferred Stock (or the Martin Marietta Common Stock into which it is
convertible) or the Parent Preferred Stock (including the Parent Common Stock
into which it will be convertible) to be received by it in connection with the
Atlantic Sub Merger.
(b) GE acknowledges that the Atlantic Sub Merger is intended to qualify
as a tax-free transaction under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and confirms as of the date hereof that, except
for the Excepted Transactions, (i) it is not a party to any agreement to sell,
exchange or otherwise dispose of any shares of Martin Marietta Preferred Stock
(or the Martin Marietta Common Stock into which it is convertible) or the

or intention to sell any Martin Marietta Preferred Stock, Martin Marietta
Common Stock, Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock in connection with
a written demand on Martin Marietta or Parent to register any shares of such
stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At the time of the closing
of the Mergers, GE will confirm the accuracy of the foregoing representations
as of such time.
3. Unless and until there has been a Final Determination (as defined in
Section 1313(a) of the Code) or any other event which finally and conclusively
establishes the amount of any liability for taxes to the contrary, GE, for all
tax purposes including all tax returns and any tax controversies, will (and
will cause any affiliate or successor to its assets or businesses to) treat the
Mergers as qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code; provided that nothing
herein will require GE or any such successor or affiliate to take any position
for which, in GE's reasonable judgment, there is no reasonable basis in fact or
law.
4. Martin Marietta, Parent and GE acknowledge and agree that, from and
after the Merger Date, and without any further act on the part of any party,
the Standstill Agreement between GE and Martin Marietta shall continue in full
force and effect, except that, effective as of the Merger Date, the Standstill

Marietta, and (iv) the clause "five percent (5%)" in Section 2.01 of the
Standstill Agreement shall be amended to read "two and one-half percent (2
1/2%)." Without limiting the generality of this Section 4, from and after the

shall assume and be obligated to perform all obligations of "Parent" under the
Standstill Agreement and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in

From and after the Merger Date, the number of directors to be designated by GE
under Section 3.02 of the Standstill Agreement shall be two.

5. Parent agrees that from and after the Merger Date, and until the
later of (a) the date on which GE ceases to hold Parent Preferred Stock with a
liquidation value of at least $250,000,000 and (b) April 2, 1998, (i) it will
not sell or otherwise transfer its interests in Martin Marietta or Technologies
other than for fair value (determined in the good faith judgment of the Board
of Directors of Parent) and (ii) it will not permit Martin Marietta or
Technologies to become subject to or bound by, or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective, any direct or indirect restriction on the ability of
Martin Marietta or Technologies to pay dividends or make any other
distributions to Parent.
6. Parent and Martin Marietta jointly and severally represent and
warrant to GE that (i) the execution, delivery and performance by Parent and
Martin Marietta of this Agreement and the Tax Indemnification Agreement among
the parties hereto dated the date hereof (the "Tax Agreement") and the
consummation by Parent and Martin Marietta of the transactions contemplated by

Marietta, as the case may be, are within the corporate powers of Parent or

obtained in connection with the Mergers), (ii) each of this Agreement and the
Tax Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Martin
Marietta and (iii) upon issuance of the Parent Preferred Stock to GE in
accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the Parent Preferred
Stock will have been duly authorized, duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and will have the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions set forth in Parent's charter provisions relating to Parent
Preferred Stock.
7. Upon consummation of the Atlantic Sub Merger and without any further
act on the part of any party, Parent shall become jointly and severally liable
with Martin Marietta for all of Martin Marietta's obligations set forth in (i)
the Agreement Relating to Certain Tax Refund Claims to Be Filed by General
Electric Company made as of June 14, 1994 by and among GE, Martin Marietta and

this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the
earlier to occur of the termination of the Agreement and May 31, 1995.

things the research, development, manufacture and sale of: Satellites,
including Satellites for use in Space Based Early Warning Systems; Expendable
Launch Vehicles; LANTIRN Systems; and Military Aircraft.
III. JURISDICTION
16. Respondents are, and at all times relevant herein have been,
engaged in commerce as "commerce" is defined in Section 1 of the Clayton Act,
as amended, 15 U.S.C. Section 12, and are corporations whose business is in or
affects commerce as "commerce" is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. Section 44.
IV. THE MERGER
17. On or about August 29, 1994, Respondents entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby Respondents would engage in a
series of related transactions resulting in a newly created corporation,
Lockheed Martin. The value of the transaction is in excess of $9 billion
("Merger").
V. THE RELEVANT MARKETS
18. The relevant lines of commerce are:
a. the research, development, manufacture and sale of
Satellites, including but not limited to Satellites for use in
Space Based Early Warning Systems;
3
27
b. the research, development, manufacture and sale of
Sensors;
c. the research, development, manufacture and sale of
Military Aircraft;
d. the research, development, manufacture and sale of

e. the research, development, manufacture and sale of
Expendable Launch Vehicles.
19. The United States is the relevant geographic area in which to
analyze the effects of the Merger in all the relevant lines of commerce.
VI. STRUCTURE OF THE MARKETS
20. Because of the exclusive nature of the Lockheed/Hughes Teaming
Agreement and the Martin Marietta/Grumman Teaming Agreement, the market for the
research, development, manufacture and sale of Satellites for use in Space
Based Early Warning Systems is highly concentrated as measured by the
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ("HHI") or the two-firm and four-firm concentration
ratios ("concentration ratios").
21. Respondents are actual competitors in the relevant market for
the research, development, manufacture and sale of Satellites for use in Space
Based Early Warning Systems.
22. The market for the research, development, manufacture and sale
of Sensors is highly concentrated as measured by the HHI or concentration
ratios.
23. The market for the research, development, manufacture and sale
of LANTIRN Systems is highly concentrated as measured by the HHI or
concentration ratios.
24. Respondents, through the proposed Merger, would be engaged in
the research, development, manufacture and sale of both Military Aircraft and
LANTIRN Systems, which are used in Military Aircraft.
25. Respondents, through the proposed Merger, would be engaged in
the research, development, manufacture and sale of a wide range of Expendable
Launch Vehicles and Satellites, which are launched from the Earth's surface by
Expendable Launch Vehicles.
4
28
VII. BARRIERS TO ENTRY
26. Because of the exclusive nature of the Lockheed/Hughes Teaming
Agreement and the Martin Marietta/Grumman Teaming Agreement, entry into the
research, development, manufacture and sale of Satellites for use in Space
Based Early Warning Systems is difficult and unlikely.
27. Entry into the market for the research, development,
manufacture and sale of Sensors is difficult and unlikely.
28. Entry into the research, development, manufacture and sale of
LANTIRN Systems is difficult and unlikely.
VIII. EFFECTS OF THE MERGER
29. The effects of the Merger, if consummated, may be
substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly in the
markets for research, development, manufacture and sale of: Satellites for use
in Space Based Early Warning Systems; Military Aircraft; and Expendable Launch
Vehicles in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C.
Section 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. Section 45, in
the following ways, among others:
a. actual, direct and substantial competition between
Respondents in the market for the research, development,
manufacture and sale of Satellites for use in Space Based
Early Warning Systems will be eliminated;
b. Respondents may disadvantage Military Aircraft
competitors by modifying LANTIRN Systems in a manner that
raises the costs of competing Military Aircraft;
c. Respondents may gain access to competitively
sensitive non-public information concerning other Military
Aircraft manufacturers, whereby:
(1) actual competition between Respondents and
Military Aircraft manufacturers will be
reduced; and
(2) advancements in Military Aircraft research,
development, innovation and quality will be
reduced; and
d. Respondents may gain access to competitively
sensitive non-public information concerning other Expendable
Launch Vehicle manufacturers, whereby:
5
29
(1) actual competition between Respondents and
Expendable Launch Vehicle manufacturers will
be reduced; and
(2) advancements in Expendable Launch Vehicle
research, development, innovation and quality
will be reduced.
IX. VIOLATIONS CHARGED

ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CONSENT
ORDER TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT
The Federal Trade Commission ("Commission") has accepted, subject to
final approval, an agreement containing a proposed Consent Order from Lockheed
Corporation ("Lockheed"), Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin Marietta") and
Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin"), collectively referred to as
respondents. The proposed Consent Order prohibits respondents from enforcing
exclusivity provisions contained in teaming agreements with manufacturers of
sensors for space-based early warning systems. The proposed Consent Order also
prohibits respondents' military aircraft division from gaining access to any
non-public information that respondents' electronics division receives from
competing military aircraft manufacturers when providing a navigation and
targeting system known as "LANTIRN" to competing aircraft producers. In
addition, the proposed Consent Order prohibits respondents from making any
modifications to the LANTIRN system that discriminate against other military
aircraft manufacturers unless such modifications either are necessary to meet
competition or are approved by the Secretary of Defense. Finally, the proposed
Consent Order prohibits respondents' expendable launch vehicle ("ELV")
divisions from gaining access to any non-public information that respondents'
satellite divisions receive from competing ELV suppliers when those competing
suppliers launch respondents' satellites.
The proposed Consent Order has been placed on the public record for
sixty (60) days for reception of comments by
31
interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of
the public record. After sixty (60) days, the Commission will again review the
agreement and the comments received and will decide whether it should withdraw
from the agreement or make final the agreement's proposed Order.
Pursuant to an August 29, 1994, Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
Lockheed and Martin Marietta agreed to merge their businesses into a newly
created corporation, Lockheed Martin. The proposed complaint alleges that the
merger, if consummated, would violate Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission
Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. Section 45, and Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as
amended, 15 U.S.C. Section 18, in the following three markets in the United
States:
(1) the research, development, manufacture and sale of satellites
for use in space-based early warning systems;
(2) the research, development, manufacture and sale of military
aircraft; and
(3) the research, development, manufacture and sale of expendable
launch vehicles.
The proposed Consent Order would remedy the alleged violations.
First, in the market for space-based early warning systems, Lockheed and Martin
Marietta are exclusively teamed with the Electro-Optical and Data Systems Group
of Hughes Aircraft Company ("Hughes") and Northrop Grumman Corporation
("Northrop Grumman"), respectively. Hughes and Northrop Grumman are two of
2
32
the leading manufacturers of sensors for space-based early warning systems.
Because the Lockheed/Hughes and Martin Marietta/Northrop Grumman teaming
agreements are both exclusive, the proposed merger would allow Lockheed Martin
to tie up two different sensors for space-based early warning systems. The
proposed Consent Order makes these agreements non-exclusive, which allows
Hughes and Northrop Grumman to bid for space-based early warning systems
either on their own or teamed with other companies, as well as to continue
working with their current teammates, Lockheed and Martin Marietta. The
purpose of the proposed Consent Order is to increase the number of competitors
for space-based early warning systems procured by the United States Department
of Defense ("DoD").
Second, Lockheed is a significant competitor in the manufacture and
sale of military aircraft, and Martin Marietta is the only supplier of the
LANTIRN infrared navigation and targeting system, a critical component on some
military aircraft. Following the merger, Lockheed Martin would be the sole
source for LANTIRN systems, as well as a competitor in the military aircraft
market. Because military aircraft manufacturers will have to provide
proprietary information to the Lockheed Martin division that manufactures
LANTIRN, Lockheed Martin's military aircraft division could gain access to
competitively significant and non-public information concerning competing
military aircraft. In addition, because the LANTIRN system is periodically
modified or upgraded, Lockheed Martin could modify
3
33
the LANTIRN in a manner that discriminates against competing military aircraft
manufacturers. As a result, the proposed merger increases the likelihood that
competition between military aircraft suppliers would decrease because Lockheed
Martin would have access to its competitors' proprietary information, which
could affect the prices and services that Lockheed Martin provides. In
addition, advancements in military aircraft research, innovation, and quality
would be reduced because Lockheed Martin's military aircraft competitors would
fear that Lockheed Martin could "free ride" off of its competitors'
technological developments.
Therefore, the proposed Consent Order prohibits Lockheed Martin from
disclosing any non-public information that it receives from military aircraft
manufacturers in its capacity as a provider of the LANTIRN system to Lockheed
Martin's military aircraft division. Under the proposed Order, Lockheed Martin
may only use such information in its capacity as a provider of the LANTIRN
system. Non-public information in this context means any information not in
the public domain and designated as proprietary information by any military
aircraft manufacturer that provides such information to Lockheed Martin. The
proposed Consent Order also prohibits Lockheed Martin from making any
modifications to the LANTIRN system that disadvantage other military aircraft
manufacturers unless the modifications are necessary to meet competition or are
approved by the Secretary of Defense, or his or her designee. The purpose of
the proposed
4
34
Order is to maintain the opportunity for full competition in the market for the
research, development, manufacture and sale of military aircraft.
Third, Martin Marietta and Lockheed are significant competitors in the
manufacture and sale of satellites and expendable launch vehicles. The
proposed merger increases the degree of vertical integration in the markets for
satellites and ELVs used by the United States government. Because satellites
manufactured by Lockheed Martin may be launched on ELVs supplied by Lockheed
Martin's competitors, Lockheed Martin's satellite divisions could gain access
to competitively significant and non-public information concerning competitors'
ELVs during the process of integrating a satellite and an ELV. As a result,
the proposed merger increases the likelihood that competition between ELV
suppliers would decrease because Lockheed Martin would have access to its
competitors' proprietary information, which could affect the prices and
services that Lockheed Martin provides. In addition, advancements in ELV
research, innovation, and quality would be reduced because Lockheed Martin's
ELV competitors would fear that Lockheed Martin could "free ride" off of its
competitors' technological developments.
The proposed Consent Order prohibits Lockheed Martin's satellite
divisions from disclosing to Lockheed Martin's ELV divisions any non-public
information that Lockheed Martin receives from competing suppliers of ELVs.
Under the proposed Order, Lockheed Martin may only use such information in its
5
35
capacity as a satellite manufacturer. Non-public information in this context
means any information not in the public domain and designated as proprietary
information by any ELV manufacturer that provides such information to Lockheed
Martin's satellite divisions. The purpose of the proposed Order is to maintain
the opportunity for full competition in the research, development, manufacture
and sale of ELVs.
Under the provisions of the proposed Consent Order, respondents are
required to deliver a copy of the Order to any United States military aircraft
manufacturer and to any United States ELV manufacturer prior to obtaining any
information from them that is outside the public domain. Under the proposed
Order, respondents also are required to provide to the Commission reports of
their compliance with the Order sixty (60) days after the Order becomes final
and annually for the next ten (10) years on the anniversary of the date the
Order becomes final.
In order to preserve or promote competition in the relevant markets
during the period prior to the final acceptance of the proposed Consent Order
(after the 60-day public notice period), respondents have entered into an
Interim Agreement with the Commission in which respondents agreed to be bound
by the proposed Consent Order as of January 10, 1995, the date the Commission
accepted the proposed Consent Order subject to final approval.
The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the
proposed Order, and it is not intended to constitute an
6
36
official interpretation of the agreement and proposed Order or to modify in any
way their terms.

3 below), without the other party's prior written consent, disclose to
any person the fact that the Information exists or has been made
available, that either party is considering the Transaction, or that
discussions or negotiations are taking or have taken place concerning
the Transactions or any term, condition or other fact relating to any
such Transaction or such discussions or negotiations, including,
without limitation, the status thereof.
3. In the event that we are requested pursuant to, or required by,
applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the
Information, we will notify you promptly so that you may seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in your sole

agreement, or that disclosure is legally required, the disclosing
party will furnish only that portion of the information which it is
advised by counsel is legally required and will exercise reasonable
efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will
be accorded the Information.
4. If either party determines to cease discussions and/or not to proceed
with a Transaction, it will promptly inform the other party of that
decision. In that case, each party at its sole election will either
(i) promptly destroy all copies of the written Information in its
possession and confirm such destruction to the other party in writing,
or (ii) promptly deliver to the other party at the returning party's
expense all copies of the written Information in its possession.
5. The parties acknowledge that neither party or any of its controlling
persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, makes any express or implied representation

VIII. DISCRETION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation may modify either or
both the Corporate award and the individual award, based on an
assessment of organizational and/or individual contribution. The
participant's individual performance may impact the percent of
available Corporate award. Participants with an individual rating of
"5" will not receive an award under the IC program for the year.
IX. PAYMENT OF BASIC PROGRAM AWARDS
Awards under the Basic Program shall be payable in a lump sum as soon
as possible following the close of the plan year.
X. CHANGES IN PARTICIPATION
It is recognized that during a Plan year, individual changes in the
eligibility group may occur as participants terminate through death or
retirement. As these circumstances occur, consideration may be given
to adjusting the amount of incentive if the employee retires, dies or
transfers to a non-IC eligible position after completing at least six
months of participation in the current Plan Year. Anyone hired in the
eligibility group after June 1st will not be eligible for an Incentive
Award in that year without prior written approval of the Chief
Executive Officer. Persons hired prior to June 1st in the eligibility
group may be eligible at the discretion of the appropriate Corporate
Officer and with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer.
Awards for persons serving less than a full year in a position
approved for incentive compensation will be prorated based on the
number of months in the position times the calculated award, divided
by twelve, and rounded to the nearest $100.

EXHIBIT 10.8
MARTIN MARIETTA CORPORATION
Directors Charitable Award Plan
Plan Document
Effective July 1, 1994
(Amended September 22, 1994)
1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The Martin Marietta Corporation Directors Charitable Award Plan (the
"Plan") allows each eligible Director of Martin Marietta Corporation
(the "Corporation") to recommend that the Corporation make a donation
of up to $1,000,000 to the eligible tax-exempt organization(s) (the
"Donee(s)") selected by the Director, with the donation to be made, in
the Director's name, in ten equal annual installments, with the first
installment to be made as soon as is practicable after the Director's
death. The purpose of the Plan is to recognize the interest of the
Corporation and its Directors in supporting worthy educational
institutions and/or charitable organizations.
2. ELIGIBILITY
All persons serving as Directors of the Corporation as of July 1,
1994, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. All Directors who
join the Corporation's Board of Directors after that date shall be
immediately eligible to participate in the Plan upon election to the
Board.
3. AMOUNT AND TIMING OF DONATION
Each eligible Director may choose one organization to receive a
Corporation donation of $1,000,000, or up to five organizations to
receive donations aggregating $1,000,000. Each recommended
organization must be designated to receive a donation of at least
$100,000. The donation will be made by the Corporation in ten equal
annual installments, with the first installment to be made as soon as
is practicable after the Director's death, and each later installment
to be made at approximately the same time in the following years. If
a Director recommends more than one organization to receive a
donation, each will receive a prorated portion of each annual
installment as follows: Each annual installment payment will be
divided among the recommended organizations in the same proportions as
the total donation amount has been allocated among the organizations
by the Director.
4. DONEES
In order to be eligible to receive a donation, a recommended
organization must be a tax-exempt charitable organization or
educational institution and must initially, and at the time a donation
is to be made, be able to demonstrate receipt of an IRS notice of
2
Martin Marietta Corporation Directors Charitable Award Plan
qualification to receive tax deductible contributions, if requested by
the Corporation, and be reviewed and approved by the Directors
Charitable Award Plan Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee may
disapprove a donation if it determines that a donation to the
organization would be detrimental to the best interests of the
Corporation. A Director's private foundation is not eligible to
receive donations under the Plan. If an organization recommended by a
Director ceases to qualify as a Donee, and if the Director does not
submit a form to change the recommendation before his or her death,
the amount recommended to be donated to the organization will instead
be donated to the Director's remaining qualified Donee(s) on a prorata
basis. If all of a Director's recommended organizations cease to
qualify, the amount will be donated to organizations selected by the
Corporation. A Director may not receive any property or economic
benefit from an organization as a result of recommending it as a Donee
under the Plan; a violation of this requirement will render the
Director's recommendation of the Donee void.
5. RECOMMENDATION OF DONATION
When a Director becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, he or she
shall make a written recommendation to the Corporation, on a form
approved by the Corporation for this purpose, designating the Donee(s)
which he or she intends to be the recipient(s) of the Corporation
donation to be made on his or her behalf. A Director may revise or
revoke any such recommendation prior to his or her death by signing a
new recommendation form and submitting it to the Corporation.
A Director may choose to place restrictions on the use of funds he or
she recommends to be donated to an organization. The Corporation will
advise the Donee of the restrictions, but the Corporation will not be
responsible for monitoring the use of the funds by the organization to
ensure compliance with the restrictions. However, the Committee may,
in its discretion, suspend any remaining donation installments for the
organization if it becomes aware that the funds are not being used in
a manner which is consistent with the restrictions.
6. VESTING
A Director will become vested in the Plan upon the completion of sixty
full months of service as a Director, or if he or she dies, retires or
becomes disabled while serving as a Director. Board service prior to
July 1, 1994 will be counted as vesting service. If a Director
terminates Board service before becoming vested (other than on account
of death, retirement or disability), no donation will be made on his
or her behalf. A Director will be considered to have retired if he or
she has attained mandatory retirement age for Directors as set forth
in the Corporation's By-laws.

Plan. If the Corporation elects to fund the Plan in any manner,
neither the Directors (or their heirs or assigns) nor their
recommended Donee(s) shall have any rights or interests in any assets
of the Corporation identified for such purpose. Nothing contained in
the Plan shall create, or be deemed to create, a trust, actual or
constructive, for the benefit of a Director or any Donee recommended
by a Director to receive a donation, or shall give, or be deemed to
give, any Director or recommended Donee any interest in any assets of

obtain insurance on his or her life.
8. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, at any time, by a
majority vote and without the consent of the Directors participating
in the Plan, amend, modify, or waive any term of the Plan or suspend,
or terminate the Plan for any reason, including, but not limited to,
changes in applicable tax laws; provided however, that, subject to
Section 4, no such amendment or termination shall, without the consent
of the relevant Director or relevant Donee (if the Director has died)
eliminate, reduce, or modify the obligation of the Corporation to
make contributions on behalf of a Director who prior to the date of
the amendment is adopted dies, retires, becomes disabled or has
completed sixty full months of service as a Director.

Directors shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and make
determinations as to eligibility of Directors. The determinations of
the Committee (or the Board of Directors, as the case may be) on the
foregoing matters shall be conclusive and binding on all interested
parties.
10. DIRECTORS CHARITABLE AWARD PLAN COMMITTEE
The Directors Charitable Award Plan Committee shall be a committee of
four members consisting of the persons who from time to time may be

event of a Change of Control other than as a result of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

or the Committee with regard to the Plan. Such terms and consent
shall also apply to and be binding upon the beneficiaries,
distributees, and personal representatives and other successors in
interest of each participant.

(AMENDED, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1995)
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE
The Martin Marietta Corporation Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan for
Senior Executives is established effective September 1, 1979, for senior
executive personnel. It is intended to provide a means for attracting and
retaining capable individuals as executive employees of the Corporation. It is
further intended to encourage executives to voluntarily retire from key
executive positions no later than age 65 to enhance advancement opportunities
within the Corporation and thereby make employment by the Corporation more
attractive.
SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 "Board of Directors" means the Board of Directors of Martin
Marietta Corporation as it may be comprised from time to time.
2.2 "Corporation" means Martin Marietta Corporation.
2.3 "Employee" means a person employed by the Corporation on a
full-time basis.
2.4 "Participant" means an Employee who has attained the age of 55
and is employed in a position which is listed in Addendum A, which forms a part
hereof and is attached hereto.
2.5 "Plan" means the Martin Marietta Corporation Post-Retirement
Death Benefit Plan for Senior Executives, as in effect at any time and from
time to time.
2.6 "Retirement" means separation from service for any reason
other than to accept full time employment in a comparable position with another
employer, provided that such retirement occurs no earlier than the first day of
the month coinciding with or next following attainment of age 55 and no later
than the first day of the month coinciding with or next following attainment of
age 65 unless such continued employment has been specifically approved by the
Board of Directors.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBLE GROUP
3.1 Participants employed in any of the positions listed in
Addendum A shall comprise the group eligible for participation under the Plan.
3.2 In the event that a Participant shall simultaneously hold more
than one position listed in Addendum A to this Plan only one benefit amount
shall be payable. There shall be no duplication of benefits.
3.3 Separation from employment with the Corporation in order to
accept employment with any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall not
constitute retirement under the terms of the Plan and shall not result in
commencement of entitlement to any benefit.
3.4 Eligibility of a Participant for payment of a benefit under
the Plan shall be determined in accordance with and subject to the terms
hereof.
SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFIT
4.1 This Plan shall provide a benefit payable upon the death of a
Participant subsequent to Retirement, provided that at the time of Retirement
such Participant was then employed by the Corporation in one of the positions
listed in Addendum A, except that in the case of a Participant who was employed
by the Corporation in one of the positions listed in Addendum A on the date on
which the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
among Parent Corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation and Lockheed Corporation
dated as of August 29, 1994 were consummated (the "Lockheed Transaction"), the
Plan shall provide a benefit payable upon the death of a participant subsequent
to Retirement based on the Participant's salary at the time of the Lockheed
Transaction regardless of the position held by the Participant at the time of
his Retirement.
4.2 The death benefit payable under this Plan shall be an amount
equal to a percentage of the Participant's annualized salary for the pay period
immediately prior to Retirement, determined in accordance with the following
schedule:
Death Benefit as
Age at Retirement Percent of Annual Salary
----------------- ------------------------
At least age 55 but less than 56 . . . . . . . . 15%
At least age 56 but less than 57 . . . . . . . . 30%
At least age 57 but less than 58 . . . . . . . . 45%
At least age 58 but less than 59 . . . . . . . . 60%
-2-
3
POST-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT PLAN FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES
At least age 59 but less than 60 . . . . . . . . 75%
At least age 60 but less than 61 . . . . . . . . 90%
At least age 61 but less than 62 . . . . . . . . 105%
At least age 62 but less than 63 . . . . . . . . 120%
At least age 63 but less than 64 . . . . . . . . 135%
At age 64 and over . . . . . . . . . . . 150%
The amount of the Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall be rounded to the next
highest $5,000 increment but in no event shall be less than $25,000. The
amount so determined shall then be grossed up to provide for income taxes due
by the beneficiary using the following formula:
Grossed up Benefit = (Death Benefit) / (1-Composite Tax Rate)
Where Composite Tax Rate = marginal Federal tax rate applicable to the
highest individual bracket plus an adjustment for State taxes (if any)
equal to (1-Federal tax rate) x Highest Marginal individual state tax
rate (if any) in the employee's state of residence.
For example, in 1987 a death benefit of $100,000 would be grossed up
in the State of Maryland where the Federal rate = 38.5% and the
Maryland State rate = 7.5%
Grossed up benefit equals:
$100,000 / [1 - (0.385 + ((1-0.385) * (0.075))]
No benefits shall be payable under the Plan if a Participant continues
employment with the Corporation beyond the first day of the month coinciding
with or next following the attainment of age 65, unless such continued
employment is pursuant to the express approval of the Board of Directors, based
on a determination by the Board that sound business judgment requires the
continued service of such Participant for a specified period of time and the
agreement of such Participant to so serve. In the case of such approved
continuation of employment, a Participant who thereafter retires upon
completion of such continued employment shall be entitled to a death benefit
equal in amount to 150% of his annualized salary for the pay period immediately
prior to retirement, rounded to the next highest $5,000 increment.

SECTION 5. TERM OF BENEFITS
5.1 The coverage provided under this Plan shall commence
immediately on termination of coverage for Retirement and continue during the
lifetime of a Participant unless sooner terminated by reason of the
circumstances described in the succeeding subsection.
5.2 If, following the date on which a Participant shall be
eligible to receive benefits under the Plan, the Board of Directors shall
reasonably find that a Participant, without the prior written consent of the
Board of Directors, is engaged in the operation or management of a business,
whether as owner, controlling stockholder, partner, director, officer,
employee, consultant, or otherwise, which at such time is in competition with
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or has disclosed to
unauthorized persons information relative to the business of the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates which the Participant shall have had
reason to believe is confidential, or shall be found by the Board of Directors
to have committed an act during or after the term of the Participant's
employment which would have justified the Participant being discharged for
cause, all benefits to which such Participant shall otherwise be entitled under
this Plan shall terminate. This section shall be uniformly applied to
Participants similarly situated.
SECTION 6. MANNER OF PAYMENT
6.1 A written designation of beneficiary(ies) and contingent
beneficiary(ies) may be made by the Participant with the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors and changed from time to time by written notice made
by the Participant or, if applicable, his assignee to the Compensation
Committee.
6.2 The Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall be payable to the
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. If, at the time of the Participant's
death, there is no designated beneficiary as to all or any part of the benefit,
or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, the benefit
will be paid at the option of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors to any of the following survivors of the Participant: wife, husband,
mother, father, child, or children; or to the executors or administrators of
the Participant.
6.3 Payments to any named beneficiary or beneficiaries as
designated in any insurance policy purchased hereunder by the Corporation or
pursuant to any applicable law or to any survivor or survivors of the
Participant or to the estate of a Participant or pursuant to this Plan shall
completely discharge all liabilities of the Corporation with respect to the
amounts so paid.
6.4 The Participant or beneficiary may arrange to have the benefit
paid in (a) lump sum, (b) monthly or annual installments over a fixed period of
years, or (c) such other arrangements as may be agreed upon by the Participant
or beneficiary and the Compensation
-4-

Committee of the Board of Directors.
6.5 The Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall be paid by the
Corporation from its general funds.
SECTION 7. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Compensation Committee may from time to time recommend amendments
to the Board of Directors for their review and approval. The Board of
Directors may terminate the Plan or amend the Plan in any respect and at any
time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall have the
effect of reducing the death benefit then being paid, or to be paid, on behalf
of any retired Participant and provided further that no such amendment or
termination shall reduce the calculation of the death benefit to be paid on
behalf of any active Participant retired on the day prior to the effective date
of such amendment or termination. Any Participant may, however, at the
Participant's election, by written notice to the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors terminate participation in the Plan.
SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATION
This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. A
decision of the Board of Directors with respect to any matter pertaining to the
Plan shall be conclusive and binding on all interested parties.
SECTION 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1 Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give any person the
right to remain in the employ of the Corporation or to remain in any of the
positions designated in Addendum A or affect the right of the Corporation to
terminate any Participant's employment with or without cause.
9.2 The Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance
with the laws of the State of Maryland.

EXHIBIT 10.10
MARTIN MARIETTA CORPORATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR SELECTED OFFICERS
------------------------------------------------
The name of this plan is the Martin Marietta Corporation
Deferred Compensation Plan for Selected Officers (the "Plan"). The Plan
provides for the deferred payment to selected officers ("Officers") of
compensatory obligations that Martin Marietta Corporation (the "Corporation")
is expected to accrue by reason of the Corporation's proposed combination with
Lockheed Corporation (the "Combination"). This Plan shall take effect only if
the Combination is consummated.
A. Background and Purpose. In connection with the
Combination, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") has
amended certain of its executive compensation plans, including the Amended and
Restated Long Term Performance Incentive Compensation Plan and the Deferred
Compensation and Estate Supplement Plan. The purpose of the amendments was to
modify (and in some cases reduce) the payment obligations that otherwise would
have accrued under the terms of those plans by reason of the Combination.
Pursuant to the amendments, most of the participants in the plans will receive
single sum payments shortly following the date of the Combination, if it is
consummated. However, the Board has decided to implement the plan amendments
by deferring payment to a participant if immediate payment would (or reasonably
might) prevent the Corporation from deducting that payment for Federal income
tax purposes. The Board has determined that the deductibility of payments to
certain Officers would be jeopardized if made on an immediate basis, and thus
that the plan amendments should be implemented by making deferred payments to
those Officers. None of the Officers has been given or may hereafter exercise
any elective right with respect to the timing of the payments. This Plan sets
forth the contractual terms under which the deferred compensation shall be
accumulated and paid.
B. Participating Officers and Amounts Deferred. The
Officers for whom deferred compensation will be credited and paid under this
Plan shall be those Officers designated by the Board, as evidenced in the
records of Board meetings and by written notices to such Officers. The amount
of deferred compensation with respect to each Officer shall equal the
Corporation's accrued obligations to that Officer under all plans for which the
Board has determined that payment on a deferred basis is warranted. The
Corporation's accrued obligation to an Officer under each plan shall equal the
single sum amount that would have been payable to the Officer under the plan at
the time of the Combination if it had not been determined that payment to the
Officer under that plan was to be deferred. Any payroll taxes required to be
withheld with respect to an Officer's deferred compensation shall be withheld
out of other wages payable to that Officer and shall not reduce the amount of
that Officer's deferred compensation.
C. Crediting of Accounts: Each participating Officer's
deferred compensation shall be credited to a bookkeeping account (the
"Account") maintained in that Officer's name. The Officer's Account shall be
credited as of the day on which the deferred amount would have been payable to
the Officer if the Officer's payment under the plan had not been deferred. In
addition, each Officer's Account shall be credited with interest at a daily
rate equivalent to the Federal long-term rate, as determined under section
1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of
2
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR SELECTED OFFICERS
1986, as amended, applicable to the month in which the deferred compensation is
first credited to the Officer's Account. Interest shall be credited for the
period commencing with the first day as of which any deferred compensation is
credited to the Officer's Account and ending on the day on which actual payment
of the deferred compensation is made. Each participating Officer shall at all
times have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in the deferred
compensation and interest credited to his or her Account.
D. Payment of Deferred Compensation: Each participating
Officer's Account balance shall be paid to him or her in a single sum as of
February 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Officer ceases
to be an officer of the Corporation (and ceases to be an officer of any parent
or affiliate of the Corporation) or at such earlier date as the Compensation
Committee (the "Committee"), in its sole discretion, determines would allow the
payment to be deductible for Federal income tax purposes. The actual amount of
any payment shall be reduced by taxes required to be withheld under applicable
Federal and state law.
E. Death Benefits: In the event that an Officer dies
before his or her Account balance has been paid, the Account balance shall be
paid to the Officer's beneficiary in a single sum as soon as practicable
thereafter, unless the Committee determines that payment at that time would
jeopardize the deductibility of the payment, in which case payment shall be
made no later than February 1 of the year following the year of the Officer's
death. For purposes of this paragraph, an Officer's surviving spouse shall be
deemed to be the Officer's beneficiary, unless the Officer has notified the
Committee in writing prior to his or her death that a different individual,
individuals, or other person (including the Officer's estate) is to be treated
as the Officer's beneficiary under this Plan. If the Officer is not survived
by a spouse or other designated beneficiary, payment shall be made to the
Officer's estate.
F. Additional Payments: The payment of deferred
compensation under this Plan is intended to protect the Corporation's right to
claim Federal income tax deductions, not to impair the economic position of the
Officers for whom the Committee has determined that deferred payments are
warranted. Accordingly, if the deferred payments to be made under this Plan
cause the economic position of any Officer to be impaired, the Committee shall
direct that an additional payment be made to that Officer (or the Officer's
beneficiary) which, after taking account of any taxes imposed on that
additional payment, shall be sufficient to eliminate that economic impairment.
For purposes of this paragraph, the economic position of an Officer shall be
deemed to have been impaired by deferral under this Plan if and to the extent
that (i) the deferred payment made to that Officer, less any income taxes or
other assessments imposed by reason of the inclusion in the Officer's gross
income for any year of the amounts paid or deferred hereunder, is less than
(ii) the amount the Officer would have accumulated if the amount deferred
hereunder had been paid to the Officer at the time of the Combination, and the
amount of that payment (less income taxes thereon) had immediately been
invested (and remained invested for the Officer's deferral period) in an
investment that provided a currently
-2-
3
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR SELECTED OFFICERS
taxable rate of return equal to the crediting rate described in paragraph C.
For purposes of clause (ii), it shall be assumed that the Officer would have
been subject to income tax at the highest applicable combined Federal and state
rates for all years during the deferral period.
G. Change in Control: In the event of a change in
control of Lockheed Martin Corporation (the "Combined Company"), each Officer's
Account balance shall be paid to the Officer in a lump sum immediately
following the change in control, unless prior to the change in control, the
Board of Directors of the Combined Company directs otherwise by a vote of
three-quarters of the incumbent members of that board. In the event the Board
of Directors of the Combined Company directs that the Officers' Account
balances not be paid upon the change in control, (i) all deferred compensation
under the Plan will be payable under paragraph D of the Plan, and (ii) the
Corporation shall immediately establish a trust under terms equivalent to those
described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, 1992-2 C.B. 422, and contribute to
the trust an amount equal to the sum of all the Account balances then existing
under this Plan plus $500,000. Subject to the rights of the Corporation's
creditors, as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, all assets of the trust
shall be used exclusively to pay benefits under this Plan, except that the
additional $500,000 shall be available to pay legal fees and costs incurred by
the Officers if legal or other action is necessary for the Officers to receive
payment under this Plan in accordance with paragraph D; any trust assets
remaining after payment of all benefits under this Plan shall revert to the
Corporation. For the purposes of this Plan, a change in control shall be
deemed to occur in the circumstances that would constitute a change in control
under the terms of the Lockheed Martin Corporation Omnibus Performance Award
Plan, to be implemented by the Combined Company.
H. Nature of Officers' Rights: An Officer's right to
payment under this Plan is not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance. Amounts
payable hereunder shall be paid exclusively from the general assets of the
Corporation, and each Officer's rights shall be those of a general, unsecured
creditor of the Corporation. The liability of the Corporation hereunder is a
mere contractual promise to make benefit payments in the future. Any assets
that may be acquired or held by the Corporation in connection with this Plan
shall be the sole property of the Corporation, and no Officer shall have any
claim against, or beneficial interest in, any specific assets of the
Corporation. It is the Corporation's intention that the Plan be unfunded for
Federal income tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
I. Amendment: The Board may amend or modify this Plan
at any time, provided, however, that no amendment shall have the effect of
reducing an Officer's Account balance or of impairing an Officer's
nonforfeitable right to receive payment of the deferred compensation credited
to the Officer's Account. Further, no amendment may alter the formula or
method for crediting interest to an Officer's Account, unless the amended
formula is not less favorable to the Officer than that previously in effect, or
unless the Officer has consented to the
-3-
4
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR SELECTED OFFICERS
amended formula or to an alternative method for crediting investment increments
to his or her Account. Further, no amendment may be made to limit the effect
of Paragraph G after a change in control, within the meaning of that paragraph,
occurs.
J. Administration: This Plan shall be administered by
the Committee (or such other committee or board of the Combined Company as may
hereafter be delegated authority to oversee the compensation of the Officers
participating hereunder), which shall have full authority to interpret the
Plan; interpretations by the Committee shall be final and binding on all
parties.
K. Binding Effect: This Plan is intended to represent a
binding contract between the Corporation and each participating Officer, and
its terms shall be binding upon the Corporation, its successors, transferees,
and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Officers and their heirs,
executors, administrators, and legal representatives.
L. Applicable Law: Except as otherwise required by law,
this Plan and all matters arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Maryland.

MARTIN MARIETTA CORPORATION
1979 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the services of key
employees in positions which contribute materially to the successful operation
of the business of the Corporation and to grant such employees an attractive
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the business enterprise and
thereby provide them with an added incentive to increase the earnings of the
Corporation.
It is intended that this purpose will be effected through the granting
of stock options and stock appreciation rights, as provided herein.
2. Definitions
As used in the Plan, "Corporation" means Martin Marietta Corporation
and its subsidiaries. "Subsidiary" means a corporation of which Martin
Marietta Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, stock having at least 50% of
the power to vote, under normal circumstances, in the election of directors.
"Board of Directors" means the Board of Directors of Martin Marietta
Corporation. The "Committee" means the Stock Option Committee. "Employee"
means officers and other key employees of the Corporation but excludes
directors who are not also officers or employees of the Corporation. An
"Option" means an option to purchase shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock. A
"right" means a stock appreciation right. "Grant" means the award of both a
stock option and a stock appreciation right. The "grant value of the right"
means the fair market value of a share of stock on the date a right is granted,
as that value may be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(a) (iii) of the Plan.
3. Effective Date
The Plan shall become effective upon the approval by the stockholders.
4. Eligible Employees
Options and rights may be granted only to exempt salaried employees of
the Corporation. However, not more than 10% of the total number of shares
available under the Plan shall be subject to option to any one employee, and no
individual who owns stock possessing more than 5% of the combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Corporation shall be eligible for a grant of
options and rights under the Plan.
3
5. Terms of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
The term of each option and right granted under the Plan shall be
determined by the Board of Directors, consistent with the provisions of the
Plan, including the following:
(a) Each grant of options and rights may be exercised in
whole or in part subject to the provisions of the Plan, provided that
no option or right shall be exercisable prior to one year or after ten
years from the date of grant. Except as provided in Section 6(c) (ii)
each grant shall be divided into three approximately equal
installments of 100-share and 100-right increments. The first
installment shall be exercisable one year after the date of grant and
each succeeding installment shall be exercisable one year from the
date the prior installment became exercisable. To the extent that the
installments are not equal in number, the larger installment or
installments shall be exercisable in the last or second and last
years. After the privilege to exercise an installment accrues, the
options and rights included in that installment may, except as
provided in Section 8, be exercised at any time prior to the
expiration of ten years from date of grant.
(b) Each optionee must remain in the employ of the
Corporation for at least one year from the date the option and right
are granted before any part of the grant can be exercised.
(c) An option or right shall not be assignable or
transferable by the employee to whom granted otherwise than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable
during the participant's lifetime only by the participant or in the
event of disability by the legal guardian or representative.
(d) The grant will be evidenced by a certificate that will
specify the number of shares and rights to which it pertains.
6. Stock Options
(a) Shares of Stock Subject to the Plan
The shares that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 750,000
shares of the Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of the Corporation except as
provided in Paragraph (c) below. They may consist in whole or in part of
unissued or treasury shares. Such treasury shares may be acquired to satisfy
the requirements of the Plan. If for any reason shares as to which an option
has been granted cease to be subject to purchase, then such shares shall again
be available for option under the Plan.
2
4
(b) Grant of Options
(i) The purchase price of the stock subject to
option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
the stock on the date the option is granted, except as
otherwise provided in Section 6(c)(i) below.
(ii) The purchase price of the stock subject to
option shall be paid in cash or, with the approval of the
Board of Directors or the Committee, may be paid in full or
part by the tender of Martin Marietta Corporation Common Stock
owned by the optionee. Common Stock delivered in payment of
the purchase price shall be valued at the fair market value
and any portion of the purchase price not satisfied by the
tender of Common Stock shall be paid in full in cash upon such
exercise. No fractional shares shall be issued. As soon as
possible following receipt of payment to the Corporation, the
optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the option)
shall receive a certificate or certificates for such shares,
subject to the provisions of Section 6(d).
(iii) No person shall have the right of a
stockholder with respect to shares subject to an option until
the date the option is exercised.
(c) Adjustment Upon Changes in Stock
(i) If there shall be any change affecting the stock
subject to the Plan or to any option granted thereunder
through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or combination,
or otherwise, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate
proportional adjustments in the aggregate number of shares
subject to the Plan and the number of shares and the price per
share subject to outstanding options and may assume old
options or substitute new options for old options, regardless
of whether the option price of any such option resulting from
the proportional adjustment is less than the then fair market
value of the subject shares.
(ii) In the event of a proposed dissolution or
liquidation of Martin Marietta Corporation, each option
granted under the Plan shall terminate as of a date, which in
no event shall be later than the expiration date specified in
the option, to be fixed by the Board of Directors, provided
that not less than 30 days' written notice of the date so
fixed shall be given to each optionee (or other person
entitled to exercise the option) and each optionee (or other
person entitled to exercise the option) shall have the right
(provided that by the date of exercise of the option the
optionee has remained in the employ of the Corporation for at
least one year from the date the option was granted), during
the period of 30 days
3
5
preceding such termination to exercise the option as to all
or any part of the shares covered thereby, including shares as
to which such option would not otherwise then be exercisable.
(iii) In the event of a Change of Control, each
optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the option)
shall have the right (provided that by the date of exercise of
the option the optionee has remained in the employ of the
Corporation for at least six months from the date the option
was granted), during a period of 60 days following a Change of
Control, to exercise the option as to all or any part of the
shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such
option would not otherwise then be exercisable. For purposes
of this paragraph, the term "Change of Control" shall mean the
following:
(A) a tender offer or exchange offer is made
whereby the effect of such offer is to take over and
control the affairs of the Corporation and such offer
is consummated for the ownership of securities of the
Corporation representing 25% or more of the combined
voting powers of the Corporation's then outstanding
voting securities;
(B) The Corporation is merged or
consolidated with another corporation and as a result
of such merger or consolidation less than 75% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving or
resulting corporation shall then be owned in the
aggregate by the former stockholders of the
Corporation, other than affiliates within the meaning
of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") or any party to such merger or consolidation;
(C) the Corporation transfers substantially
all of its assets to another corporation or entity
which is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation;
(D) any "person" (as such term is used in
Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)
is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Corporation
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power
of the Corporation's then outstanding securities and
the effect of such ownership is to take over and
control the affairs of the Corporation; or
(E) during any period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constitute the Board of
4
6
Directors of the Corporation cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof unless the
election, or the nomination for election by the
Corporation's stockholders, of each new director was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
directors then still in office who were directors at
the beginning of the period. For purposes of the
Plan, ownership of voting securities shall take into
account and include ownership as determined by
applying the provisions of Rule 13d-3(d)(l)(i) of the
Exchange Act (as then in effect).
(d) Limitations on Transfer of Shares
The Corporation shall not be required, upon the exercise of
any option, to issue or deliver any shares of stock prior to (a) the
authorization of such shares for listing on any stock exchange on
which Martin Marietta Corporation's Common Stock may then be listed,
and (b) such registration or other qualification of such shares under
applicable securities laws as the Corporation shall determine to be
necessary or advisable. If shares issuable on the exercise of options
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("the Act")
or there is not available a current Prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act with respect thereto, optionees may be required
to represent at the time of each exercise of options that the shares
purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view to
distribution; and the Corporation may place a legend on the stock
certificate to indicate that the stock may not be sold or otherwise
disposed of except in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
7. Stock Appreciation Rights
(a) Grant of Rights
(i) Stock appreciation rights shall be granted only to
recipients of stock options and each right will relate to a specific
stock option granted under the Plan. The number of rights granted
shall equal the number of shares granted under the stock option
provisions of the Plan and shall be granted concurrently with the
grant of the related stock option.
(ii) A right shall entitle an optionee to receive without
payment to the Corporation cash equivalent to the excess, if any, of
the fair market value of a share of Martin Marietta Common Stock on
the exercise date over the grant value of the right.
(iii) Should there be a change affecting the stock subject to
the Plan as
5
7
referred to in Section 6(c), the number of rights shall be adjusted to
equal the number of related stock option shares upon completion of the
adjustment required by the change. The grant value of a right shall
also be adjusted to equal the option price of the related stock option
following the adjustment required by the change.
(b) Exercise of Rights
(i) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, an optionee
shall be entitled to receive payment in cash for rights granted under
this Plan. The cash Payment will be in consideration of services
performed for the Corporation or for its benefit by the optionee.
(ii) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require
the simultaneous exercise of options and the related rights where such
options or rights are exercised after May 1, 1991.
(c) Limitation on Value of Rights
The cash payment for a right shall not exceed 100% of the
grant value of the right except in the event of a Change of Control in
which event the value shall be determined in accordance with Section
7(a)(ii).
8. Death, Termination of Employment, or Retirement
(a) If an optionee dies while employed by the Corporation or within
three months after termination of employment, options and rights may be
exercised by the persons referred to in Section 5(c) only within one year from
the date of death. In cases of retirement, either early or normal, or of
disability, options may be exercised within three years from the date of such
retirement or disability. In cases of termination of an optionee's employment
by the Corporation, with or without cause, the options and rights may be
exercised by the optionee only within three months from the date of
termination of employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option
or right granted hereunder shall confer upon any optionee any right of
continued employment by the Corporation nor limit in any way the right of the
Corporation to terminate the participant's employment at any time.
(b) Except in cases of retirement or disability, a grant may be
exercised pursuant to this Section 8 only to the extent the optionee was
entitled to exercise the options and rights at the time of termination of
employment or death or as provided in Section 6(c) (ii), and in any event, may
not be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant. In
the event an optionee ceases to be an employee, the options and rights which
are not exercisable at the time shall terminate. In cases of retirement where
an optionee has applied for and is receiving benefits pursuant to a
6
8
retirement plan for Martin Marietta salaried employees, or disability, all
outstanding options and rights shall become exercisable upon such retirement or
disability and may be exercised pursuant to this Section 8 or as provided in
Section 6(c)(ii), but in any event options and rights may not be exercised less
than six months or after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant
thereof.
9. Leave of Absence
For the purpose of the Plan, an employee on leave of absence will be
considered as still in the employ of the Corporation unless otherwise provided
in an agreement between the employee and the Corporation.
10. Administration
(a) Stock Option Committee
(i) The Stock Option Committee shall consist of three or more
of those members of the Board of Directors who are not eligible to
receive options and rights under the Plan. The members of the
Committee shall be designated by the Board of Directors. A majority
of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The vote
of a majority of a quorum shall constitute action by the Committee.
(ii) The Committee shall determine the employees who will
participate in the Plan, the number of shares and rights subject to
each grant, and shall have the authority to adopt rules and
regulations for administering the Plan.
(iii) As and to the extent authorized by the Board of
Directors or the By-Laws, the Committee may exercise the powers and
authority related to the Plan which are vested in the Board of
Directors. The Committee may delegate to the officers or employees of
the Corporation the authority to execute and deliver documents and to
take such other steps deemed necessary or convenient for the efficient
administration of the Plan.
(b) Finality of Determinations
The Board of Directors shall have the power to interpret the Plan.
All interpretations, determinations, and actions by the Board of Directors or,
to the extent authorized by the Plan, the Board of Directors or the By-Laws, by
the Committee, shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties.
11. Amendment and Termination
The Board of Directors shall have the power, in its discretion, to
amend,
7
9
suspend, or terminate the Plan or options and rights granted under the Plan at
any time. It shall not, however, without further action by the stockholders,
have the power to (a) change the class of employees eligible to receive options
under the Plan, (b) provide for options or rights exercisable more than ten
years after the date granted, or (c) extend the expiration date of the Plan;
nor shall it have the power (except as otherwise provided in the Plan) to (d)
increase the number of shares subject to the Plan or (e) reduce the option
price below the fair market value of the stock at the time the option was
granted. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan or options and
rights granted under the Plan shall, except with the consent of the options,
adversely affect an option or right previously granted.
12. Duration
The Plan shall remain in effect until all options and rights granted
under the Plan have been exercised or terminated under the terms of the Plan,
provided that options and rights under the Plan must be granted within ten
years from the effective date of the Plan.

MARTIN MARIETTA CORPORATION
1984 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the services of key
employees in positions which contribute materially to the successful operation
of the business of the Corporation and to grant such employees an attractive
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the business enterprise and
thereby provide them with an added incentive to increase the earnings of the
Corporation.
It is intended that this purpose will be effected through the granting
of stock options and stock appreciation rights, as provided herein.
2. Definitions
As used in the Plan, "Corporation" means Martin Marietta Corporation
and its subsidiaries. "Subsidiary" means a corporation of which Martin Marietta
Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, stock having at least 50% of the
power to vote, under normal circumstances, in the election of directors.
"Board of Directors" means the Board of Directors of Martin Marietta
Corporation. The "Committee" means the Stock Option Committee. "Employee"
means officers and other key employees of the Corporation but excludes
directors who are not also officers or employees of the Corporation. An
"option" means an option to purchase shares of Martin Marietta Common Stock. A
"right" means a stock appreciation right. "Grant" means the award of both a
stock option and a stock appreciation right. The "grant value of the right"
means the fair market value of a share of stock on the date a right is granted,
as that value may be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(a) (v) of the Plan.
"Normal retirement" means retirement on or after the normal retirement date, as
defined in subparagraph (a), Paragraph 1 of Article IV of the Martin Marietta
Retirement Income Plan for Salaried Employees. "Early retirement" shall have
the meaning set forth in Paragraph 2 of Article IV of the Martin Marietta
Retirement Income Plan for Salaried Employees.
3. Effective Date
The Plan shall become effective upon the approval by the stockholders.
4. Eligible Employees
Options and rights may be granted only to exempt salaried employees of
the Corporation. However, not more than 10% of the total number of shares
available under the Plan shall be subject to option to any one employee, and no
individual who owns stock possessing 5% or more of the combined voting power of
all classes of
3
stock of the Corporation shall be eligible for a grant of options and rights
under the Plan.
5. Terms of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
The terms of each option and right granted under the Plan shall be
determined by the Board of Directors, consistent with the provisions of the
Plan, including the following:
(a) Each grant of options and rights may be exercised in whole or
in part subject to the provisions of the Plan, provided that no option
or right shall be exercisable prior to one year or after ten years
from the date of grant. Except as provided in Section 6(c), each grant
shall be divided into three approximately equal installments of
100-share and 100-right increments. The first installment shall be
exercisable one year after the date of grant and each succeeding
installment shall be exercisable one year from the date the prior
installment became exercisable. To the extent that the installments
are not equal in number, the larger installment or installments shall
be exercisable in the last or second and last years. After the
privilege to exercise an installment accrues, the options and rights
included in that installment may, except as provided in Section 8, be
exercised at any time prior to the expiration of ten years from date
of grant.
(b) Each optionee must remain in the employ of the Corporation for
at least one year from the date the option and right are granted
before any part of the grant can be exercised.
(c) An option or right shall not be assignable or transferable by
the employee to whom granted otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the
participant's lifetime only by the participant or in the event of
disability by the legal guardian or representative.
(d) The grant will be evidenced by a certificate that will specify
the number of shares and rights to which it pertains.
6. Stock Options
(a) Shares of Stock Subject to the Plan
The shares that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed
5,475,000 shares of the Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of the
Corporation except as provided in Paragraph (c) below. They may
consist in whole or in part of unissued or treasury shares. Such
treasury shares may be acquired to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan. If for any reason shares as to which an option
2
4
has been granted cease to be subject to purchase, then such shares
shall again be available for option under the Plan.
(b) Grant of Options
(i) The purchase price of the stock subject to option
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the
stock on the date the option is granted, except as otherwise
provided in Section 6(c)(i) below.
(ii) Except as provided in Paragraph 10, the purchase
price of the stock subject to option shall be paid in cash or,
with the approval of the Board of Directors or the Committee,
may be paid in full or part by the tender of Martin Marietta
Corporation Common Stock owned by the optionee. Common Stock
delivered in payment of the purchase price shall be valued at
the fair market value and any portion of the purchase price
not satisfied by the tender of Common Stock shall be paid in
full in cash upon such exercise. No fractional shares shall
be issued. As soon as possible following receipt of payment
to the Corporation, the optionee (or other person entitled to
exercise the option) shall receive a certificate or
certificates for such shares, subject to the provisions of
Section 6(d).
(iii) No person shall have the rights of a stockholder with
respect to shares subject to an option until the date the
option is exercised.
(c) Adjustment Upon Changes in Stock
(i) If there shall be any change affecting the stock
subject to the Plan or to any option granted thereunder
through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or combination,
or otherwise, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate
proportional adjustments in the aggregate number of shares
subject to the Plan and the number of shares and the price per
share subject to outstanding options and may assume old
options or substitute new options for old options, regardless
of whether the option price of any such option resulting from
the proportional adjustment is less than the then fair market
value of the subject shares.
(ii) In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation
of Martin Marietta Corporation, each option granted under the
Plan shall terminate as of a date, which in no event shall be
later than the expiration date specified in the option, to be
fixed by the Board of Directors, provided that not less than
30 days' written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to
each optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the
option) and each optionee (or other person entitled to
exercise the option) shall
3
5
have the right (provided that by the date of exercise of the
option the optionee has remained in the employ of the
Corporation for at least one year from the date the option was
granted) during the period of 30 days preceding such
termination to exercise the option as to all or any part of
the shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such
option would not otherwise then be exercisable.
(iii) In the event of a Change of Control, each optionee
(or other person entitled to exercise the option) shall have
the right (provided that by the date of exercise of the option
the optionee has remained in the employ of the Corporation for
at least six months from the date the option was granted)
during a period of 60 days following a Change of Control to
exercise the option as to all or any part of the shares
covered thereby, including shares as to which such option
would not otherwise then be exercisable or to have the
Corporation, upon request of the optionee (or other person
entitled to exercise the option), purchase all such options at
a cash purchase price equal to the excess of the fair market
value per share over the option price multiplied by the number
of all such option shares. For purposes of this Section and
Section 7(a)(ii) below, the term "fair market value" where a
Change of Control has occurred shall mean the greater of (a)
the highest price per share paid as a result of any offer
which is in effect during the period beginning on the
ninetieth day prior to the date on which such option is
exercised and ending on the date on which such option is
exercised or the fixed or formula price specified in a
transaction agreement if such price is determinable as of the
date of exercise of the option or, in the case of a 25%
acquisition, the highest price per share shown on the
Statement on Schedule 13D or any Amendment thereto filed by
the holder of 25% or more of the Corporation's voting
securities, and (b) the highest closing price per share of the
Corporation's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape during the period beginning on the ninetieth
day prior to the date on which the option is exercised and
ending on the date on which such option is exercised. In the
event the price for Martin Marietta Common Stock in a
transaction that results in a Change of Control cannot be
determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6(c)(iii), fair market value shall be determined by the Board
of Directors. The value thus determined shall be subject to
adjustments as provided in Section 6(c)(i) above. For
purposes of this paragraph, the term "Change of Control" shall
mean the following:
(A) A tender offer or exchange offer is made whereby the
effect of such offer is to take over and control the affairs
of the Corporation and such offer is consummated for the
ownership of securities of the Corporation representing 25% or
more of the combined voting powers of
4
6
the Corporation's then outstanding voting securities.
(B) The Corporation is merged or consolidated with
another corporation and, as a result of such merger or
consolidation, less than 75% of the outstanding voting
securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall
then be owned in the aggregate by the former stockholders of
the Corporation, other than affiliates within the meaning of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or
any party to such merger or consolidation.
(C) The Corporation transfers substantially all of its
assets to another corporation or entity which is not a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
(D) Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections
3(a)(9) and 1 3(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Corporation representing 25% or more of the combined voting
power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities, and
the effect of such ownership is to take over and control the
affairs of the Corporation.
(E) During any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the
Board of Directors of the Corporation cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or
the nomination for election by the Corporation's stockholders,
of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two
thirds of the directors then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of the period. For purposes of the
Plan, ownership of voting securities shall take into account
and include ownership as determined by applying the provisions
of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act (as then in
effect).
(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(c)(iii),
if an event occurs which would otherwise constitute a Change
in Control but that event is approved by the affirmative vote
of two-thirds of the Continuing Directors (as that term is
hereinafter defined); then, at the sole option of the
Corporation, if options are presented to the Corporation for
purchase pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii), the Corporation may,
rather than purchasing such options for cash (a) issue on
behalf of the optionee shares of common stock with a fair
market value at the time of issuance equal to the cash
purchase price that the optionee otherwise would be entitled
to receive, (b) arrange that a third-party sell such shares on
the optionee's behalf and (c) provide that the third-party
promptly remit the proceeds of such sale directly to the
optionee. If the Corporation elects to exercise
5
7
this right, in no event shall the optionee receive an amount
of cash less than that the optionee would have received
pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii). For the purposes of this
provision, the term "Continuing Directors" shall mean a
director who either (a) was a member of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation immediately prior to the Change in Control;
or (b) was designated (before his or her election as director)
as a Continuing Director by a majority of the then Continuing
Directors.
(d) Limitations on Transfer of Shares
The Corporation shall not be required, upon the exercise of any
option, to issue or deliver any shares of stock prior to (a) the
authorization of such shares for listing on any stock exchange on
which Martin Marietta Corporation's Common Stock may then be listed
and (b) such registration or other qualification of such shares under
applicable securities laws as the Corporation shall determine to be
necessary or advisable. If shares issuable on the exercise of options
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("the Act")
or there is not available a current Prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act with respect thereto, options may be required
to represent at the time of each exercise of options that the shares
purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view to
distribution; and the Corporation may place a legend on the stock
certificate to indicate that the stock may not be sold or otherwise
disposed of except in accordance with the Act, as amended, and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
7. Stock Appreciation Rights
(a) Grant of Rights
(i) Stock appreciation rights shall be granted only to
recipients of stock options and each right will relate to a
specific stock option granted under the Plan. The number of
rights granted shall equal the number of shares granted under
the stock option provisions of the Plan and shall be granted
concurrently with the grant of the related stock option.
(ii) For each right granted on or after July 23, 1987, the
amount of the cash payment to which an optionee shall be
entitled for each right shall be equal to a percent of the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of Martin
Marietta Common Stock on the exercise date over the grant
value of the right. Such percentage shall be determined by the
Stock Option Committee or its delegatee in a manner which
shall be intended to approximate the tax obligation arising
from the exercise of such option and shall be adjusted
periodically pursuant to paragraph
6
8
7(a)(iii).
(iii) The percentage referred to in paragraph 7(a)(ii)
shall be increased or decreased from time to time by the
Committee or its delegatee to reflect significant changes in
income tax laws. At the time the Committee or its delegatee
determines that an increase or decrease is warranted, it shall
set a new percentage and shall set the effective date on which
such new percentage will apply in determining the amount of
the cash payment for each right which was granted on or after
July 23, 1987, and is exercised after the effective date of
such percentage change.
(iv) An optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the
option) who, in the event of a Change of Control, elects
either to exercise or to have the Corporation purchase his
options, shall receive a cash payment for the rights related
to such option equal to a percentage, determined in accordance
with paragraphs 7(a)(ii) and 7(a)(iii), of the excess of the
fair market value per share over the option price, such fair
market value to be determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Section 6(c)(iii), multiplied by the
number of option shares.
(v) Should there be a change affecting the stock subject
to the Plan as referred to in Section 6(c), the number of
rights shall be adjusted to equal the number of related stock
option shares upon completion of the adjustment required by
the change. The grant value of a right shall also be adjusted
to equal the option price of the related stock option
following the adjustment required by the change.
(b) Exercise of Rights '
(i) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, an
optionee shall be entitled to receive payment in cash for
rights granted under this Plan. The cash payment will be in
consideration of services performed for the Corporation or for
its benefit by the optionee.
(ii) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
require the simultaneous exercise of options and the related
rights where such options or rights are exercised after May 1,
1991.
8. Death, Termination of Employment, or Retirement
(a) If an optionee dies while employed by the Corporation or
within three months after termination of employment, options and
rights may be exercised by the persons referred to in Section 5(c)
only within one year from the date of death. In cases of normal
retirement or of disability, options and rights may be
7
9
exercised within three years from the date of such retirement or
disability. In cases of termination of an optionee's employment by
the Corporation, with or without cause, or early retirement (except as
provided in Section 8(b)), the options and rights may be exercised by
the optionee only within three months from the date of termination of
employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option or right
granted hereunder shall confer upon any optionee any right of
continued employment by the Corporation nor limit in any way the right
of the Corporation to terminate the participant's employment at any
time.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a grant may be
exercised pursuant to this Section 8 only to the extent the optionee
was entitled to exercise the options and rights at the time of
termination of employment or as provided in Section 6(c) and, in any
event, may not be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the
date of grant. In the event an optionee ceases to be an employee, the
options and rights which are not exercisable at the time shall
terminate. In cases of death or disability while employed by the
Corporation or normal retirement where an optionee has applied for and
is receiving benefits pursuant to a retirement plan for Martin
Marietta salaried employees, all outstanding options and rights shall
become exercisable upon such death, disability, or normal retirement
and may be exercised pursuant to this Section 8 or as provided in
Section 6(c). In cases of early retirement where an optionee has
applied for and is receiving benefits pursuant to a retirement plan
for Martin Marietta salaried employees, all outstanding options and
rights shall become exercisable upon such early retirement at the
discretion of the Board of Directors, the Committee, or the Chief
Executive Officer and, to the extent exercisable, may be exercised
within three years from the date of such early retirement or as
provided in Section 6(c). Options and rights may not be exercised
less than six months or after the expiration of ten years from the
date of grant thereof.
9. Leave of Absence
For the purpose of the Plan, an employee on leave of absence will be
considered as still in the employ of the Corporation unless otherwise provided
in an agreement between the employee and the Corporation.
10. Deferred Payments for Stock
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors or
the Committee may agree to accept as full or partial payment of the purchase
price of stock issued upon exercise of options a promissory note of the
optionee evidencing his obligation to make future cash payment thereof.
Promissory notes shall be payable as determined by the Board of Directors or
the Committee (but in no event later than five years after the date thereof),
shall be secured by a pledge of the shares
8
10
purchased, and shall bear interest at a rate fixed by the Board of Directors or
the Committee
11. Administration
(a) Stock Option Committee
(i) The Stock Option Committee shall consist of three or
more of those members of the Board of Directors who are not
eligible to receive options and rights under the Plan. The
members of the Committee shall be designated by the Board of
Directors. A majority of the members of the Committee shall
constitute a quorum. The vote of a majority of a quorum shall
constitute action by the Committee.
(ii) The Committee shall determine the employees who will
participate in the Plan, the number of shares and rights
subject to each grant, and shall have the authority to adopt
rules and regulations for administering the Plan.

The purpose of this Plan is to benefit the Corporation's stockholders
by encouraging high levels of performance by individuals who are key to the
success of the Corporation and to enable the Corporation to attract, motivate,
and retain talented and experienced individuals essential to its continued
success. This is to be accomplished by providing such employees an opportunity

SECTION 4. Awards.
The Committee may grant any of the following types of Awards, either
singly, in tandem or in combination with other Awards, as the Committee may in
its sole discretion determine:
(a) Non-qualified Stock Options. A Non-qualified Stock Option is
a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Stock
during such specified time as the Committee may determine at a
price not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock
on the date the option is granted.
(i) The purchase price of the Stock subject to the option
may be paid in cash. At the discretion of the
Committee, the purchase price may also be paid by the
tender of Stock, or through a combination of Stock
and cash, or through such other means as the
Committee determines are consistent with the Plan's
purpose and applicable law. No fractional shares of
Stock will be issued or accepted.
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent
permitted by law (including
2
4
relevant state law), the Committee may agree to
accept as full or partial payment of the purchase
price of Stock issued upon exercise of options, a
promissory note of the optionee evidencing the
optionee's obligation to make future cash payments to
the Corporation. Promissory notes shall be payable
as determined by the Committee (but in no event later
than five years after the date thereof), shall be
secured by a pledge of shares of Stock purchased, and
shall bear interest at a rate established by the
Committee.
(b) Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option is an
Award in the form of an option to purchase Stock that complies
with the requirements of Code Section 422 or any successor
section.
(i) The aggregate number of shares that may be subject to
Incentive Stock Options under this Plan shall not
exceed 867,000 shares of Stock, subject to Sections 5
and 9.
(ii) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of the grant of the Award) of the shares subject
to Incentive Stock Options which are exercisable by
one person for the first time during a particular
calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. For purposes
of the preceding sentence, the term "Incentive Stock
Option" shall mean an option to purchase Stock that
is granted pursuant to this Section 4(b) or pursuant
to any other plan of the Corporation that complies
with Section 422(b) of the Code.
(iii) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under this
Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date this
Plan is adopted, or the date this Plan is approved by
the stockholders, whichever is earlier, or be
exercisable more than ten years after the date the
Award is made.
(iv) The exercise price of any Incentive Stock Option
shall be no less than Fair Market Value of the Stock
subject to the option on the date the Award is made.
(v) The Committee may provide that the option price under
an Incentive Stock Option may be paid by one or more
of the methods available for paying the option price
of a non-qualified stock option.
(c) Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right ("SAR")
is a right to receive, upon surrender of the right, but
without payment, an amount payable in cash. The amount payable
with respect to each right shall be equal in value to a
percent of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock on the exercise date over the Fair Market Value
of a share of Stock on the date the Award was made (or, in the
case of a right granted with respect to a previously granted
Award, the Fair Market Value of the shares that are the
subject of the previously granted Award on the date such
previous Award was granted). The applicable percent shall be
established by the Committee.
3
5
(d) Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock is Stock or other
securities of the Corporation that is issued to a Participant
and is subject to restrictions on transfer and/or such other
restrictions on incidents of ownership as the Committee may
determine.
(e) Other Stock-based Incentive Awards. The Committee may from
time to time grant Awards under this Plan that provide the
Participant with the right to purchase Stock, or other
securities of the Corporation or provide incentive Awards that
are valued by reference to the Fair Market Value of Stock, or
other securities of the Corporation (including, but not
limited to phantom securities or dividend equivalents). Such
Awards shall be in a form determined by the Committee (and may
include terms contingent upon a change of control of the
Corporation), provided that such Awards shall not be
inconsistent with the terms and purposes of the Plan.
SECTION 5. Shares of Stock and Other Stock-Based Awards Available Under Plan.
(a) Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 9 hereof, the
number of shares with respect to which Awards payable in
securities may be granted for 1992 will be 1.3% of the shares
of stock outstanding on December 31, 1991 and for each of
1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 shall not exceed 1.7% of the sum of
(i) the number of shares of Stock outstanding (subject to
increase in certain circumstances) and (ii) the number of
shares of Stock into which the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, par value $1.00, of Parent Corporation, is convertible,
in each case on December 31 of the prior year. In the event
that not all of the shares available in one year are used for
Awards in that year, the number of shares not used for Awards
that year shall be carried forward and shall be available for
Awards in succeeding calendar years in addition to the
aforesaid percentages of shares that would otherwise be
available in such years. In each of 1993, 1994 or 1995 an
additional .5% of the aforesaid sums may be granted if a
corresponding decrease in the percentage of shares of Stock
available for Awards in the immediately succeeding year is
made. Any shares that have not been awarded on or before
December 31, 1996, shall remain available for Awards for the
duration of the Plan. The number of SARs, units representing
awards payable solely in cash, or other rights payable solely
in cash that may be granted shall be equal to (and in addition
to) the number of shares of Stock available for Awards payable
in securities.
(b) Any unexercised or undistributed portion of any terminated or
forfeited Award shall be available for further Awards in
addition to those available under Section 5(a) hereof.
(c) For the purposes of computing the total number of shares of
Stock granted under the Plan, the following rules shall apply
to Awards payable in Stock or other securities, where
appropriate:
(i) except as provided in (v) of this Section, each
option shall be deemed
4
6
to be the equivalent of the maximum number of shares
that may be issued upon exercise of the particular
option;
(ii) except as provided in (v) of this Section, each other
stock-based Award payable in some other security
shall be deemed to be equal to the number of shares
to which it relates;
(iii) except as provided in (v) of this Section, where the
number of shares available under the Award is
variable on the date it is granted, the number of
shares shall be deemed to be the maximum number of
shares that could be received under that particular
Award;
(iv) where one or more types of Awards (both of which are
payable in Stock or another security) are granted in
tandem with each other, such that the exercise of one
type of Award with respect to a number of shares
cancels an equal number of shares of the other, each
joint Award shall be deemed to be the equivalent of
the number of shares under the other; and
(v) each share awarded or deemed to be awarded under the
preceding subsections shall be treated as shares of
Stock, even if the Award is for a security other than
Stock.
Additional rules for determining the number of shares of Stock granted
under the Plan may be made by the Committee, as it deems necessary or
appropriate.
(d) The Stock which may be delivered pursuant to an Award under
the Plan may be treasury or authorized but unissued Stock or
Stock may be acquired, subsequently or in anticipation of the
transaction, in the open market to satisfy the requirements of
the Plan.
SECTION 6. Award Agreements.
Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
setting forth the number of shares of Stock or other security, SARs, or units
subject to the Award and such other terms and conditions applicable to the
Award as determined by the Committee.
(a) Award Agreements shall include the following terms:
(i) Non-assignability: A provision that no Award shall
be assignable or transferable except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution and that during
the lifetime of a Participant, the Award shall be
exercised only by such Participant or by his or her
guardian or legal representative.
(ii) Termination of Employment: A provision describing
the treatment of an Award in the event of the
retirement, disability, death or other termination of
a Participant's employment with the Corporation,
5
7
including but not limited to terms relating to the
vesting, time for exercise, forfeiture or
cancellation of an Award in such circumstances.
(iii) Rights as Stockholder: A provision that a
Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder
with respect to any securities covered by an Award
until the date the Participant becomes the holder of
record. Except as provided in Section 9 hereof, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights, unless the Award Agreement specifically
requires such adjustment, in which case, grants of
dividend equivalents or similar rights shall not be
considered to be a grant of any other stockholder
right.
(iv) Withholding: A provision requiring the withholding
of applicable taxes required by law from all amounts
paid in satisfaction of an Award. In the case of an
Award paid in cash, the withholding obligation shall
be satisfied by withholding the applicable amount and
paying the net amount in cash to the Participant. In
the case of Awards paid in shares of Stock or other
securities of the Corporation, a Participant may
satisfy the withholding obligation by paying the
amount of any taxes in cash or, with the approval of
the Committee, shares of Stock or other securities
may be deducted from the payment to satisfy the
obligation in full or in part. The number of shares
to be deducted shall be determined by reference to
the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date the
Award is exercised.
(v) Execution: A provision stating that no Award is
enforceable until the Award Agreement or a receipt
has been signed by the Participant and the Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation (or his
delegate), or, in the case of an Award to an Insider,
by the Participant and by a member of the Committee.
By executing the Award Agreement or receipt, a
Participant shall be deemed to have accepted and
consented to any action taken under the Plan by the
Committee, the Board of Directors or their delegates.
(vi) Holding Period: In the case of an Award to an
Insider, (A) of an equity security, a provision
stating (or the effect of which is to require) that
such security must be held for at least six months
(or such longer period as the Committee in its
discretion specifies) from the date of acquisition;
or (B) of a derivative security with a fixed exercise
price within the meaning of Section 16, a provision
stating (or the effect of which is to require) that
at least six months (or such longer period as the
Committee in its discretion specifies) must elapse
from the date of acquisition of the derivative
security to the date of disposition of the derivative
security (other than upon exercise or conversion) or
its underlying equity security; or (C) of a
derivative security without a fixed exercise price
within the meaning of Section 16, a provision stating
(or the effect of which is to require) that at least
six months (or such longer period as the Committee in
its discretion specifies) must elapse from
6
8
the date upon which such price is fixed to the date
of disposition of the derivative security (other than
by exercise or conversion) or its underlying equity
security.
(b) Award Agreements may include the following terms:
(i) Replacement, Substitution and Reloading: Any
provisions (A) permitting the surrender of
outstanding Awards or securities held by the
Participant in order to exercise or realize rights
under other Awards, or in exchange for the grant of
new Awards under similar or different terms
(including the grant of reload options), or, (B)
requiring holders of Awards to surrender outstanding
Awards as a condition precedent to the grant of new
Awards under the Plan.
(ii) Other Terms: Such other terms as are necessary and
appropriate to effect an Award to the Participant
including but not limited to the term of the Award,
vesting provisions, any requirements for continued
employment with the Corporation, any other
restrictions or conditions (including performance
requirements) on the Award and the method by which
restrictions or conditions lapse, effect on the Award
of a change in control, the price, amount or value of
Awards.
SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination.
The Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue
the Plan. The Committee may at any time alter or amend any or all Award
Agreements under the Plan to the extent permitted by law. However, no such
action may, without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, be
effective if such approval is required by Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
SECTION 8. Administration.
(a) The Plan and all Awards granted pursuant thereto shall be
administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors
constituted so as to permit the Plan to comply with the
administration requirement of Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i). The members
of the Committee shall be designated by the Board of Directors
and as initially constituted, shall be the Stock Option
Committee as defined in the Corporation's By-Laws. A majority
of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The
vote of a majority of a quorum shall constitute action by the
Committee.
(b) The Committee shall periodically determine the Participants in
the Plan and the nature, amount, pricing, timing, and other
terms of Awards to be made to such individuals.
(c) The Committee shall have the power to interpret and administer
the Plan. All questions of interpretation with respect to the
Plan, the number of shares of Stock or other security, SARs,
or units granted, and the terms of any Award
7
9
Agreements shall be determined by the Committee and its
determination shall be final and conclusive upon all parties
in interest. In the event of any conflict between an Award
Agreement and this Plan, the terms of this Plan shall govern.
(d) It is the intent of the Corporation that this Plan and Awards
hereunder satisfy and be interpreted in a manner, that, in the
case of Participants who are or may be Insiders, satisfies the
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, so
that such persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule
16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 and will not
be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder. If any
provision of this Plan or of any Award would otherwise
frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in this
Section 8(d), that provision to the extent possible shall be
interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.
To the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with
such intent, the provision shall be deemed void as applicable
to Insiders.
(e) The Committee may delegate to the officers or employees of the
Corporation the authority to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents, to do all such acts and things, and
to take all such other steps deemed necessary, advisable or
convenient for the effective administration of the Plan in
accordance with its terms and purpose, except that the
Committee may not delegate any discretionary authority with
respect to substantive decisions or functions regarding the
Plan or Awards thereunder as these relate to Insiders
including but not limited to decisions regarding the timing,
eligibility, pricing, amount or other material term of such
Awards.
SECTION 9. Adjustment Provisions.
(a) In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock
by reason of a stock dividend or split, recapitalization,
merger or consolidation, reorganization, combination or
exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, the
number of shares of Stock (or other securities) then remaining
subject to this Plan, and the maximum number of shares that
may be issued to anyone pursuant to this Plan, including those
that are then covered by outstanding Awards, shall (i) in the
event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares, be
proportionately increased and the price for each share then
covered by an outstanding Award shall be proportionately
reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of
outstanding shares, be proportionately reduced and the price
for each share then covered by an outstanding Award, shall be
proportionately increased.
(b) The Committee shall make any further adjustments as it deems
necessary to ensure equitable treatment of any holder of an
Award as the result of any transaction affecting the
securities subject to the Plan not described in (a), or as is
required or authorized under the terms of any applicable Award
Agreement.

10
SECTION 10. Change of Control.
(a) In the event of a change of control of the Corporation, in
addition to any action required or authorized by the terms of
any Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its discretion,
recommend that the Board of Directors take any of the
following actions as a result of, or in anticipation of, any
such event to assure fair and equitable treatment of Plan
Participants:
(i) accelerate time periods for purposes of vesting in,
or realizing gain from, any outstanding Award made
pursuant to this Plan;
(ii) offer to purchase any outstanding Award made pursuant
to this Plan from the holder for its equivalent cash
value, as determined by the Committee, as of the date
of the change of control; or
(iii) make adjustments or modifications to outstanding
Awards as the Committee deems appropriate to maintain
and protect the rights and interests of Plan
Participants following such change of control.
Any such action approved by the Board of Directors shall be
conclusive and binding on the Corporation and all Plan
Participants.
(b) For the purposes of this Section, a change of control shall
include the following:
(i) A tender offer or exchange offer is made whereby the
effect of such offer is to take over and control the
affairs of the Corporation and such offer is
consummated for the ownership of securities of the
Corporation representing 25% or more of the combined
voting powers of the Corporation's then outstanding
voting securities.
(ii) The Corporation is merged or consolidated with
another corporation and, as a result of such merger
or consolidation, less than 75% of the outstanding
voting securities of the surviving or resulting
corporation shall then be owned in the aggregate by
the former stockholders of the Corporation, other
than affiliates within the meaning of the Exchange
Act or any party to such merger or consolidation.
(iii) The Corporation transfers substantially all of its
assets to another corporation or entity which is not
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

respect to an Award shall be based solely upon contractual
obligations created by the Plan and the Award Agreement.

related to this Plan or to any Award) shall confer upon any
Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or
other service of the Corporation or constitute any contract or

person's compensation or other benefits or to terminate the
employment of such person with or without cause.

only upon a change in control of the Corporation.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties
as follows:

until there has been a Change in Control, as defined in Paragraph 1.02
hereof. Upon such a Change in Control, this Agreement shall become
operative immediately.

Corporation that shall be deemed to have occurred, if and when, with or
without the approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
incumbent prior to the occurrence,

after the date of such Change in Control, give notice to the
Corporation that he elects to terminate his employment for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Executive must exercise his right to terminate
employment within six months after the date on which circumstances
constituting good cause exist. The right to give such notice and
receive the compensation provided for in Section 3 of this Agreement

Executive is removed from, or not re-elected to, any of such
positions, except for the termination of his employment for
substantial and serious cause in the event of the Executive's

defalcation involving material funds or other assets of the
Corporation; or as a result of his substantial disability or
death;

percentage increase in the base salaries of other executives of
comparable status with the Corporation;

(iii) the Corporation fails to continue the Executive
as a participant in the Corporation's Executive Incentive Plan
to the extent permitted and subject to all the conditions

at not less than his highest level of participation during the
three (3) calendar years preceding the calendar year in which
such failure occurs; or fails to continue the Executive in the
Corporation's Deferred Compensation and Estate Supplement Plan
for Senior Executives, or the Corporation's Post-Retirement
Death Benefit Plan for Senior Executives, as each plan may be
modified from time to time but substantially in the form
presently in effect (individually the "Plan" and collectively
the "Plans"), on at least the basis as in effect at the date of
any Change in Control, or to pay the Executive any amounts
earned under the Plans in accordance with the terms of the
Plans;
(iv) the Corporation's principal executive offices
are moved to a location outside Montgomery County, Maryland, or
Washington, D.C., or any county adjoining Montgomery County,
Maryland; or the Corporation requires the Executive, without
his agreement, to be based anywhere other than the
Corporation's principal executive offices or the location where
he is based on the date of any Change in Control, except for
required travel on the Corporation's business to an extent
substantially consistent with his business travel obligations
in effect on the date of any Change in Control; or
(v) the Corporation fails to continue in effect any
benefit or compensation plan, including but not limited to the
Plans, pension plan, excess benefit plan, Performance Sharing
Plan, life insurance plan, medical, dental, health and accident
plan, disability plan, or vacation plan or plans providing the
Executive with substantially similar benefits in which the
Executive is participating on the date of any Change in Control
or in which he thereafter may participate.
3. Compensation
3.01 If the Executive gives the notice described in Section 2
of this Agreement to the Corporation, the Corporation shall promptly
pay the Executive a lump sum amount equal to three (3) times the
Executive's base amount (as defined by Section 280(G), Part IX,
Subchapter B, Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended), less one dollar ($1.00).
3.02 Such lump sum payment shall be in addition to any other
3
5
compensation due to the Executive, or his beneficiaries, by the
Corporation, including, but not limited to, salary, severance pay,
consulting fees, disability benefits, termination benefits, retirement
benefits, life and health insurance benefits, stock ownership or stock
option benefits, or any other compensation or benefit program that is
part of any valid previous, present, or future employment contract,
written or oral.
3.03 Should any payments hereunder or under any other
agreement between the Executive and the Corporation be subject to
excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1954, as amended, or comparable state or local tax laws, the
Corporation shall pay to the Executive such additional compensation as
is necessary (after taking into account all Federal, state and local
income taxes payable by the Executive as a result of the receipt of
such compensation) to place the Executive in the same after-tax
position he would have been in had no such excise tax (or any interest
or penalties thereon) been paid or incurred. The Corporation hereby
agrees to pay such additional compensation within five (5) days after
the Executive notifies the Corporation that the Executive has filed a
tax return which takes the position that such excise tax is due and
payable in reliance on a written opinion of the Executive's tax counsel
and that it is more likely than not that such excise tax is due and
payable. If the Executive makes any payment with respect to any such
excise tax as a result of an adjustment to the Executive's tax
liability by any Federal, state or local tax authority, the Corporation
will pay such additional compensation within five (5) days after the
Executive notifies the Corporation of such payment. Without limiting
the obligation of the Corporation hereunder, the Executive agrees, in
the event the Executive makes any payment pursuant to the preceding
sentence, to negotiate with the Corporation in good faith with respect
to procedures reasonably requested by the Corporation which would
afford the Corporation the ability to contest the imposition of such
excise tax; provided, however, that the Executive will not be required
to afford the Corporation any right to contest the applicability of any
such excise tax to the extent that the Executive reasonably determines
that such consent is inconsistent with the overall tax interests of the
Executive.
3.04 The Executive and the Corporation agree that, because
there can be no exact measure of the damage which would occur to the
Executive as a result of a Change in Control, the payments and benefits
provided for under this Section 3 shall be deemed to constitute
liquidated damages and not a penalty for such Change in Control. The
Corporation agrees that the Executive shall not be required to mitigate
his damages and the Executive may retain any compensation for services
rendered or consulting fees earned after the date of termination.
3.05 Upon the payment by the Corporation to the Executive of
the lump sum amount described in Paragraph 3.01 and all other payments
due the Executive as described in Paragraph 3.02, this Agreement shall
terminate and the
4
6
Executive and the Corporation will each deliver to the other party an
agreement releasing and discharging such other party from all claims,
debts or obligations then existing, provided, however, that such
release by the Executive shall not apply to the obligations of the
Corporation as described in Paragraphs 3.03 and 4.01 of this Agreement
which shall survive such termination.
4. Payment of Attorneys' Fees
4.01 All attorneys' fees incurred by the Executive in
connection with any litigation, dispute, suit, claim or other
proceeding arising in connection with any of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement or any other compensation arrangements between the
Corporation and the Executive shall be paid by the Corporation or its
successors or assigns. Under no circumstances shall the Executive be
obligated to reimburse the Corporation for any such expenses incurred
by the Corporation.
5. Notices
5.01 All notices, requests, demands, and other communications
provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
sufficiently given, if and when mailed in the continental United
States, by registered or certified mail, or personally delivered to the
party entitled thereto at the address stated below, or to such changed

MARTIN MARIETTA CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL EXCESS RETIREMENT PLAN
-----------------------------------
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE OF PLAN
The Martin Marietta Corporation Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan
("The Plan") was established effective September 28, 1978, by Martin Marietta
Corporation, a Maryland Corporation. The purpose of the Plan is to equalize
the benefit formula applicable to those employees of Martin Marietta
Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries or affiliates to the extent that
such benefits payable under the retirement plans of the Corporation and such
subsidiaries or affiliates are or will be limited by Section 415 of the
Internal Revenue Code ("Code") or provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 as amended ("ERISA").
The Plan, as amended, also provides a supplemental pension benefit to
those corporate officers elected prior to December 31, 1986, if necessary to
equalize their pension benefit accrual with that of employees who were
participating in the Martin Marietta Corporation Retirement Income Plan
immediately prior to October 1, 1975. The Plan, as further amended hereby,
also provides for a supplemental benefit payable to those employees of the
Corporation who retire immediately upon separation from service with the
Corporation, its designated subsidiaries or affiliates and whose benefits are
or will be limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. It is intended that the
sections of the Plan which relate to the benefits determined by reference to
limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code constitute a separate plan for
purposes of Section (3)(36) of ERISA.

subsidiary or affiliate on a full-time basis and for a regular base salary and
who is a participant of a Retirement Plan (as defined herein) of the
Corporation.

this Plan as provided in Section 3 or, upon and following such Participant's
death, his beneficiary(ies), if any.
"Plan" means the Martin Marietta Corporation Supplemental Excess
Retirement Plan, as in effect at any time.
"Retirement Date" means the first day of any month following the
Participant's 55th birthday upon which the Participant actually retires.
"Retirement Plan" means the Martin Marietta Corporation Retirement
Income Plan for Salaried Employees or the Martin Marietta Corporation Pension
Plan for Salaried Employees as in effect from time to time.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY
This Plan shall apply to any Participant who is a participant in the
Retirement Plan and whose benefits under the Retirement Plan are reduced by the
limitations of specified sections of the Code or ERISA, as amended; and

in the Martin Marietta Corporation Retirement Income Plan for Salaried
Employees on or after October 1, 1975.

the same day.
SECTION 5. AMOUNT OF BENEFITS
5.1 A Participant who retires under Section 4 of this Plan shall
receive a retirement benefit from this Plan equal to the excess, if any, of (1)
the benefit that would have been paid under the Retirement Plan (as the same
may be in effect from time to time) if the Retirement Plan had been amended to
conform to the limitations imposed by Section 401(a)(17) but not Section 415 of
the Code (as the same may be amended from time to time) over (2) the benefit
actually payable under the Retirement Plan as amended to conform to all
limitations of the Code.
5.2 A Participant who retires under Section 4 of this Plan
immediately upon
3
4
separation from service with the Corporation shall receive a retirement benefit
from this Plan equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the benefits that would have
been paid under the Retirement Plan had it not been amended to conform to the
limitations imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code (as the same may
be amended from time to time) over (2) the benefit that would have been paid
under the Retirement Plan had it been amended to conform to Section 401(a)(17)
of the Code (as the same may be amended from time to time) but not Section 415
of the Code.
5.3 Corporate officers who retire under Section 4 of this Plan and
who were elected prior to December 31, 1986 and who became Participants in the
Martin Marietta Corporation Retirement Income Plan for Salaried Employees on or
subsequent to October 1, 1975 shall have their pension benefit calculated
without applying Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code and using both the

retirement and after having attained five years of vesting service under the

this Plan equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the pre-retirement surviving
spouse annuity benefit which would have been paid to such surviving spouse
pursuant to the Retirement Plan if such payment were not limited by Code
Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 and Revenue Ruling 85-15, over (2) the pre-
retirement surviving spouse annuity benefit actually payable under the
Retirement Plan.
5.7 All benefits paid from this Plan shall take into account the
Participant's decision regarding early or deferred retirement or optional
methods of benefit payment chosen under the Retirement Plan.
5.8 In no event shall the computation of benefits under this Plan
take into account any service performed by a Participant after separation from
employment with the Corporation or its subsidiaries and affiliates.
5.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation
in its sole discretion may (but shall not be obligated to) make any payment
under this Plan before it would otherwise be made if, based on any of the
following events, it determines, in good faith based on consultation with
counsel, that a Participant or his
5
6
beneficiary has or is likely to recognize income for federal income tax
purposes with respect to amounts payable under the Plan before such amounts are
otherwise to be paid:
(i) a change in the Code, or the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, or a binding or predominant judicial construction
thereof;
(ii) a published ruling or similar announcement
issued by the Internal Revenue Service;
(iii) a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction
involving a Participant, a Participant's beneficiary, the Corporation, or any
entity involved in making payments under the Plan; or
(iv) a final determination of tax liability
following a contested dispute on audit (or a closing agreement made under
Section 7121 of the Code) that involves a Participant, a Participant's
beneficiary(ies), the Corporation, or any entity involved in making payments
under the Plan.
SECTION 6. PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS
6.1 Payment of supplemental benefits to any person under this Plan
shall be made at the same time, and under the same form of annuity, as benefits
paid to such person under the Retirement Plan, in accordance with all the terms
and conditions applicable to such benefits under the Retirement Plan.
6.2 Any amount required to be withheld under applicable Federal,
state and local income tax laws shall be withheld and any such payment shall be
reduced by the
6
7
amount so withheld.
6.3 All payments under the Plan shall be made from the general funds
of the Corporation. The Corporation may, at its discretion, establish a trust,
commonly known as a "rabbi" trust, to hold assets from which benefits payments
may be made. The Plan is intended in all events to be unfunded within the
meaning of ERISA.
6.4 Notwithstanding Section 6.1, in the event that the Value of the
sum of the benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan is $3,500 or less,
all such benefits will be paid in a lump-sum settlement in full discharge of
all liabilities with respect to such benefits. For purposes of this section,
the term Value shall mean the present value of a Participant's benefits based
upon the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's male annuity rates, factors,
tables, assumptions and procedures in effect at the beginning of the calendar
year in which the Value is determined.
SECTION 7. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan with respect to future
Participants, or amend the Plan in any respect, at any time; provided, however,
that no such amendment shall have the effect of reducing the basis on which the
supplemental benefit then being paid to any retired Participant or on behalf of
any retired Participant or which may thereafter become payable on behalf of
such Participants pursuant to Section 5, is computed.
7
8
SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATION
This Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or by the
Committee appointed by the Board of Directors as defined in Section 2. A
decision of the Board of Directors or the Committee with respect to any matter
pertaining to the Plan including without limitation the Employees determined to
be Participants, the benefits payable, and the construction or interpretation
of any provision thereof, shall be conclusive and binding upon all interested
persons. No Director or Committee member shall participate in any decision of
the Board of Directors or Committee that would directly and specifically affect
the timing or amount of his benefits under the Plan.
SECTION 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1 Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give any person the right
to remain in the employ of the Corporation, its subsidiaries or affiliates or
affect the right of the Corporation to terminate any Participant's employment
with or without cause.
9.2 No right or interest of any person entitled to a benefit under
the Plan shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment,
or transfer of any kind.
9.3 This Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with
the laws of the State of Maryland.
SECTION 10. TERMINATION OF BENEFITS IN CERTAIN CASES
If, following the date on which a Participant shall retire under this
Plan, a
8
9
Participant shall engage in the operation or management of a business, whether
as owner, stockholder, partner, officer, employee, consultant, or otherwise,
which at such time is in competition with the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, or shall disclose to unauthorized persons information relative to
the business of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries which the
Participant shall have reason to believe is confidential, or otherwise act, or
conduct oneself, in a manner which the Participant shall have reason to believe
is contrary to the best interest of the Corporation, or shall be found by the
Committee to have committed an act during the term of the Participant's
employment which would have justified the Participant being discharged for
cause, the Participant's retirement benefit under this Plan shall terminate.
Application of this Section will be at the discretion of the Committee.

eligible for benefits using Long Term Disability Plan standards).
In the event of termination or retirement by mutual consent between
the Participant and the Board, restrictions may be terminated with respect to
all or any portion of the Participant's Restricted Stock on the recommendation
of the Committee and approval of the Board of Directors.
4.3 Each Award shall be evidenced by a written agreement signed by the

Participant's account. The Participant shall generally have the rights and
privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock including the right to

(i) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the
certificate until the expiration or termination of the Restricted
Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions specified in the
Award Letter;

Restricted Period and until the satisfaction of any other conditions
specified in the Award Letter; and
(iii) except as set forth in Section 4 or as set forth in the
Award Letter executed pursuant to Section 4, all of the Restricted
Stock shall be forfeited and all rights of the Participant to such
Restricted Stock including any stock dividends on such Restricted
Stock shall terminate without further obligation on
3
5
the part of the Corporation unless the Participant has remained a
regular full-time employee of the Corporation, any of its subsidiaries
or any parent or any combination thereof until the expiration or
termination of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other
conditions specified in the Award Letter applicable to such Restricted
Stock.
The Participant shall have the same rights and privileges, and be
subject to the same restrictions, with respect to any Stock received pursuant
to Section 7.
5.2 At the discretion of the Corporation, cash dividends with
respect to the Restricted Stock may be either currently paid or withheld by the
Corporation for the Participant's account, and interest shall be paid on the
amount of cash dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as
determined by the Corporation. Cash dividends so withheld shall not be subject
to forfeiture. Stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be
held in the Participant's account and shall be subject to forfeiture. Upon
the forfeiture of any Restricted Stock, such forfeited Stock and any stock
dividends on such forfeited Stock shall be transferred to the Corporation
without further action by the Participant and any amounts paid by the
Participant upon the issuance of the Restricted Stock shall be returned to the
Participant with interest.
5.3 Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and
the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee or at such
earlier time as provided for in Section 4 or in the Award Letter applicable to
such Restricted Stock, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock
shall terminate and a stock certificate for the number of shares with respect
to which the restrictions have terminated shall be delivered, free of all such
restrictions, except any that may be imposed by law, to the Participant or the
Participant's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. The Corporation shall
not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but will pay,
in lieu thereof, the fair market value (determined as of the date the
restrictions terminate) of such fractional share to the Participant or the
Participant's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. No payment will be
required from the Participant upon the delivery of any Restricted Stock, except
that any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax
requirements shall be promptly paid by the Participant to the Corporation
following notification to the Participant of the amount due. A Participant may
satisfy this obligation by paying cash or, with the approval of the Board of
Directors or the Committee, may pay the obligation in full or in part by the
tender to the Corporation of Martin Marietta Corporation Common Stock owned by
the Participant. The number of shares to be tendered shall be determined by
reference to the fair market value of such shares on the date payment is made.
Section 6. Termination of Employment
Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, or otherwise
provided
4
6
in the Award Letter, if a Participant to whom Restricted Stock has been granted
ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the end of the Restricted
Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions specified in the Award
Letter, for any reason other than the reasons specified in Section 4, the
Participant shall immediately forfeit all Restricted Stock and stock dividends
thereon.
Section 7. Changes in Capitalization
In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by
reason of a stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger or consolidation,
reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate
change, the maximum aggregate number of shares as to which Awards may be
granted under the Plan and the number of shares covered by each previously
granted Award, if any, shall be proportionally adjusted by the Board of
Directors with such determination being conclusive.
Section 8. Effective Date
The Plan is effective as of July 28, 1988, subject to the approval of
the stockholders at the Corporation's 1989 Annual Meeting. The Committee may,
at its discretion, grant Awards under the Plan subject to such stockholder
approval of the Plan. The Award, issuance or delivery of Restricted Stock
shall be expressly subject to the conditions that, to the extent required by
law at the time of Award, issuance or delivery,
(i) the shares covered by such Awards shall be duly listed upon the
New York Stock Exchange; and
(ii) if the Corporation deems it necessary or desirable a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such
Restricted Stock shall be effective.
Section 9. Limits of Liability
Neither the Corporation nor any member of the Board of Directors, or
the Committee, or any other person participating in any determination of any
question under the Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or
application of the Plan, shall have any liability to any party, for any action
taken, or not taken, in good faith under the Plan.
Section 10. Designation of Beneficiary
A Participant may, with the consent of the Committee, designate a
person or persons to receive Restricted Stock to which the Participant is
entitled in the event of
5

Transferred Employee may elect to have all or any portion of such benefit (or
the equivalent value of all or any portion) paid to the beneficiary designated
in the employee's election in any of the following forms:
(i) An annuity for the remaining lifetime of the spouse. If the
beneficiary dies before the spouse, the remaining benefit shall be
paid as provided in the employee's election. In the absence of any
such provision, the equivalent value of the remaining payments shall
be paid to the beneficiary's estate, if any, otherwise to the
beneficiary's Personal Representative.
(ii) An annuity for the remaining lifetime of the beneficiary. If
any annuity otherwise payable under this item (ii) is less than $5000

Committee. For purposes of this election, a Transferred Employee may designate
as his beneficiary only his estate, his former spouse, or a member of his
immediate family.
For the purpose of determining the benefit conversions required to
provide the benefit payments referred to above, the interest rate assumption
shall be the interest rate used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, at
the beginning of the year in which the Transferred Employee's death occurs, in
valuing immediate annuities for terminating single employer trusteed plans, and
the mortality assumption shall be based on the UP-1984 Mortality Table.

any such benefit be subject in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily,
to anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance by or through an
Employee, retired employee, Surviving Spouse or beneficiary. If any attempt is
made to alienate, pledge or charge any such interest or any such benefit for
any debt, liabilities in tort or contract, or otherwise, of any Transferred

prohibitions of the preceding sentence, then the Administrative Committee in
its discretion may suspend or forfeit the interests of such person and during
the period of such suspension, or in case of forfeiture, the Administrative

benefit payments to which such person would otherwise be entitled to the
designated beneficiary or to some member of such Transferred Employee's,
retired employee's, Surviving Spouse's or beneficiary's family to be selected
in the discretion of the Administrative Committee. Similarly, in cases of

discretion, may make payments to some member of the family of any of the
foregoing to be selected by it or to whomsoever it may determine is best fitted
to receive or administer such payments.

legal or equitable rights or interest in this Plan that are not expressly

right to be retained in the Service of his employer. The right and power of
the Company to dismiss or discharge any Transferred Employee is expressly
reserved.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section I, Transferred
Employees who are represented by a union (pursuant to a certification by the
National Labor Relations Board or otherwise in accordance with the provisions
of Section 9 of the National Labor Relations Act) shall become eligible to
participate in this Plan (1) only after the Company and such union shall have
entered into a written agreement to the effect that the Plan shall be offered
to the Transferred Employees so represented, and (2) only in accordance with
any conditions or requirements contained in such agreement; provided, however,
that whenever Employees who are eligible for the Plan choose a bargaining
11
13
agent (pursuant to NLRB certification), they shall continue to be eligible
unless and until the certified agent gives notice to the Company that it does
not wish such eligibility to continue.
(d) The law of the State of Maryland shall govern the construction
and administration of the plan.
(e) The rights under this Plan of a Transferred Employee who
retires or leaves the Service of the Company at any time and the rights of

of such Transferred Employee, shall be governed by the provisions of the Plan
in effect on the date such Transferred Employee retires or leaves the Service

shall be entitled to receive duplicate credit for the same period of service or

credited under this Plan or any other plan maintained by Martin Marietta
Corporation, the General Electric Company, or any other employer.

("GE" ) and ________________________(the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed in the capacity of
_______________ GE Aerospace (the "Business") and the Executive is one of the
key executives of the Business; and
WHEREAS, GE desires the Executive to assist GE in the combination of the
Business with Martin Marietta Corporation (the "Company") and then remain with
the Business following such combination, and the Executive is willing to
provide such services.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein
and other good and valuable considerations, the Parties hereby agree as
follows:
1. Term of Employment
Subject to the condition that the Executive has provided, to the
satisfaction of GE at its sole discretion, leadership to the Business during
the time prior to the Closing Date which enhances the positive transition of
the Business in the business combination, the Executive's "term of employment"
under this contract shall commence on the Closing Date of the transaction which
combines the Business with the Company and shall terminate 24 months after such
Closing Date.
2. Nature of Employment
(a) The Company shall provide the Executive on the closing date with a
comparable job to the one that he now holds, in terms of basic skills and
experience as well as
2
approximately the same position level, status or reporting level. The powers
and duties of the Executive are to be more specifically determined and set by
the Company from time to time.
(b) The Executive agrees to serve the Company for the term of employment
as defined in Paragraph 1. The Executive agrees to devote his full business
time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company
and to use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company and to
perform faithfully and efficiently the responsibilities assigned to him in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary to
discharge such responsibilities, except for periods of vacation and sick leave
or other legitimate absences under Company benefit plans and established
practices.
3. Place of Employment
The Executive's initial place of employment is ____________________but
the Company may require that the Executive work at such other place or places
as the Company may direct. If the Executive is required to relocate, the
Company shall pay the Executive's reasonable expenses in that connection on the
same basis and to the same extent as such expenses are paid under the Company's
benefit plans and established practices for management personnel of the Company
of the same level and reporting responsibility.
4. Compensation
(a) Base Salary. During the term of employment, the Executive shall
receive an annual base salary (the "Base Salary"), payable in equal monthly,
semi-monthly, or biweekly installments, at an annual rate at least equal to the
aggregate annual base salary payable to the Executive by GE as of the date
hereof. The Base Salary may be increased at any time and from time to time by
action of the Board of Directors of the Company, any committee thereof or any
individual having authority to take such action, in accordance with the
Company's regular practices. Any increase in the Base Salary
2
3
shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation of the Company or GE
hereunder.
(b) Annual Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be
awarded for each fiscal year during the term of employment an annual bonus
(pursuant to any bonus plan or program of the Company, any incentive
compensation plan or program of the Company, or otherwise) in cash at least
equal to the incentive compensation awarded to the Executive by GE for the last
full year of service with GE prior to the Closing Date, the "Annual Bonus".
(c) Additional Bonus. In the event the Executive is still an employee of
the Company 24 months after the Closing Date, or if his service has been
terminated by the Company for reasons other than Cause (as defined in Paragraph
9 below), then at that date or upon his termination, the Company shall pay the
Executive an additional bonus equal to the amount of his then-base salary plus
the Annual Bonus.
(d) GE Employment. In the event the Executive is terminated by the
Company for any reason other than cause (as defined in Paragraph 9 below),
during the 36 months following the Closing Date, he will be offered a position
by GE comparable in position level and compensation to the position he held in
GE prior to his transfer to the Business. In the event GE is unable to provide
such a position, GE shall pay the Executive a sum equivalent to his then
current base salary plus the Annual Bonus.
(e) Stock Options. The Executive shall be granted _______GE Stock Options
on the Closing Date. Following the Closing Date, all options granted will
continue to mature normally. The Executive will have five years from the
Closing Date, or the expiration of the Grant, whichever comes first, to
exercise these options.
(f) 1987 and 1991 Deferred Salary Plan. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary, employment with the Company shall be considered as employment
with GE for the purposes of the 1987 and 1991 Deferred Salary Plan. GE will
remain responsible for
3
4
payment of such amounts.
5. Participation in Company Benefits
The Executive shall be entitled to and shall receive all other benefits
and conditions of employment available generally to management personnel of the
Company of the same level and responsibility pursuant to Company plans and
programs.
6. Conflicting Interests
During the term of this Agreement, the Executive agrees not to accept any
other employment or engage in any outside business or enterprise without the
Company's written consent. It is understood, however, that outside activities
are not prohibited provided they are legal; do not impair or interfere with the
conscientious performance of Company duties and responsibilities; do not
involve the misuse of the Company's influence, facilities or other resources;
are consistent with the Company' s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct; and
do not reflect discredit upon the good name and reputation of the Company. The
Executive agrees to sign a Conflict of Interest statement with the Company.
7. Disclosure of Information
During the term of this Agreement or thereafter, the Executive shall not
reveal any confidential information of the Company to anyone except those
employees of the Company entitled to receive such information. The Executive
agrees to sign a confidentiality agreement with the Company.
8. Termination at Will
Prior to the beginning of the term of employment as set forth in
Paragraph 1 above, the Executive's employment with the Business shall continue
on the same basis and on the same terms and conditions as existed immediately
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event there is a termination
prior to the beginning of the term of employment, this Agreement shall be null
and void.
4
5
9. Resignation or Termination for Cause
If, prior to the completion of the term of employment, the Executive
resigns or the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for cause,
all salary, travel allowance and other payments and compensation shall cease as
of the time of such resignation or termination. Any benefits or vacation pay
shall only be due and payable according to the requirements of state and
federal laws. No further obligation shall exist on the part of the Company to
the Executive.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) an act or acts of
dishonesty or conflicting interests (as defined in Paragraph 6) on the
Executive's part which are intended to result in his substantial personal
enrichment at the expense of the Company, (ii) any material violation by the
Executive of his responsibilities set forth in Paragraph 2 which is
demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Executive's part and which results
in material injury to the Company; (iii) a violation of the Company's Code of
Ethics and Standards of Conduct.
10. Death or Disability of the Executive
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, this Agreement will
automatically terminate upon the death or retirement of the Executive. Any
illness or disability will be dealt with in accordance with the Company benefit
plan provisions.
11. Termination for Convenience
(a) The Company may terminate the Executive's employment at any time
during the term of employment for any reason or no reason, but in the event
such termination is for reasons other than "Cause" (for "Convenience") as
defined in Paragraph 9, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive the
full amount of compensation provided for in Paragraph 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c)
during the remainder of the term of employment and GE shall be obligated to
satisfy Paragraph 4(d). The Executive shall, however, make reasonable efforts
to mitigate any damages by seeking other employment; but, in doing so, he shall
not be required to accept a position of substantially different character than
5
6
the highest position held by him with the Company or a position that could lead
to a claim against him that he violated the provisions of Paragraph 7. To the
extent that the Executive shall receive compensation from such other
employment, (including Employment with GE) the payments to be made by the
Company shall be correspondingly reduced. (After the term of employment, the
Executive shall not be obligated to mitigate any damages by seeking other
employment or otherwise, and no amount payable hereunder shall be reduced in
the event that the Executive shall accept alternative employment.) If the
Company terminates the Executive for Convenience, then the Company will vest
the Supplementary Pension Plan.
(b) Termination by GE. In the event the Closing Date of the business
combination has not occurred by the close of business on July 1, 1993, GE shall
have the right to unilaterally terminate this contract at any time thereafter,
and this agreement shall be considered to be null and void and a nullity from
the date first above written.
12. Non-Waiver of Other Rights or Remedies
No actions taken by the Company under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of its other rights or remedies
available at law, in equity or otherwise.
13. Assumption and Assignability of Agreement
The Executive may not delegate, subcontract or otherwise transfer or
assign his rights or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement and all
rights hereunder will be assigned by GE to the Company; however, GE may not and
will not assign its obligations under Paragraphs 4(d), 4(e) and 4(f) above.
14. Entire Agreement
This Agreement supersedes all prior contracts and understandings between
the Executive and the Business, other than the "Employee Innovation and
Proprietary Information Agreement", and may not be modified, changed or altered
except in writing
6
7
signed by both the Executive and the Company.
15. Confidentiality
The Executive shall keep all of the terms and conditions in the
Agreement, including amounts, strictly confidential and shall not disclose them
to any person at any time other than the Executive's spouse, legal and/or
financial advisor(s). Failure to comply with the terms of this Paragraph 15
constitutes a breach of this Agreement and renders the Agreement null and void.
16. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by and in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

EXHIBIT 10.23
LOCKHEED CORPORATION
1986 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM
A. PREAMBLE
The Lockheed Corporation (the "Company") 1986 Employee Stock Purchase
Program (the "Program") is comprised of two separate stock option plans
(collectively referred to as the "Plans"). The first of the Plans is called
the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Incentive Plan") and is intended to be
used exclusively for the grant of options qualifying under Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code"). The second Plan is
called the Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "Nonstatutory Plan") and is
intended to be used exclusively for the grant of nonstatutory options, either
with or without stock appreciation rights. Both the Incentive Plan and the
Nonstatutory Plan, in addition to being subject to the requirements contained
within the respective Plans, are subject to the General Program Requirements
specified herein and these requirements are hereby expressly made a part and
incorporated into the terms of each of the Plans.
B. GENERAL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Program is to strengthen the
Company and its subsidiaries by providing an additional means of retaining and
attracting competent management personnel and by providing to participating
officers and other key employees an added incentive for high levels of
performance and for unusual efforts to increase the earnings of the Company.
2. ADMINISTRATION. The Program shall be administered by the
Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Committee"), which Committee shall consist of three or more
members of the Board of Directors who are not eligible to receive options or
stock appreciation rights under the Program and who have not been eligible, at
any time within one year prior to appointment to the Committee, for selection
as a person to whom stock may be allocated or to whom options or stock
appreciation rights may be granted pursuant to the Program or any other plan of
the Company or any of its affiliates entitling the participants therein to
acquire stock, stock appreciation rights or stock options of the Company or any
of its affiliates.
Subject to the express provisions of the Program and each of the
Plans, the Committee shall have authority to construe and interpret the
Program, and to define the terms used herein, to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Program, to
determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to
participants without constituting a termination of their employment for the
purposes of the Program, and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Program. The determinations of the
Committee on the matters referred to in this Section shall be conclusive. Any
action of the Committee with respect to the administration of the Program shall
be taken pursuant to a majority vote, or to the written consent of a majority
of its members.
No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action, failure to
act, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this
Program or any transaction hereunder. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify
each member of the Committee for all costs and expenses and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any liability incurred by any member in connection
with defending against, responding to, negotiating for the settlement of or
otherwise dealing with any claim, cause of action or dispute of any kind
arising in connection with the member's actions in administering this Program
or authorizing or denying authorization to any transaction hereunder.
3. PARTICIPATION. Subject to the express provisions of the
Program, the Committee shall determine the officers and other key employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries to whom options (including options with stock
appreciation rights) shall be granted, the terms and provisions of the
respective option agreements (which need not be identical), the time or times
at which such options and stock appreciation rights shall be granted, and the
number of shares subject to each option and, where applicable, companion stock
appreciation rights. An individual who has been granted an option
1
2
may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional option or
options and, where applicable, companion stock appreciation right or rights, or
stock appreciation rights on an option or options previously granted without
companion stock appreciation rights, if the Committee shall so determine.
Members of the Committee shall not be eligible, while members of the Committee,
to receive the grant of options or stock appreciation rights under the Program.
The determinations of the Committee with respect to the granting of
all options and stock appreciation rights shall be presented to the Board of
Directors and grants shall not be made except upon the approval of such
recommendations by the Board of Directors.
4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PROGRAM. Subject to adjustment as provided
in Section B6 hereof, the stock to be offered under the Program shall be shares
of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock, $1 par value
(hereinafter called "Common Stock"), and the aggregate amount of stock to be
delivered upon exercise of all options and stock appreciation rights granted
under the Program shall not exceed 2,750,000 of such shares. If any option
granted pursuant to the Program shall expire or terminate for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unissued shares subject thereto
shall again be available for the purposes of the Program. For purposes of
determining the number of shares to charge against the maximum limitation set
forth above, the exercise of a stock appreciation right shall be treated as the
exercise of the portion of the companion option which is surrendered in
connection with exercise of the stock appreciation right.
5. NONTRANSFERABILITY. An option or stock appreciation right
granted under the Program shall, by its terms, be nontransferable by the option
holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall
be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by him or her.
6. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. If the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased,
changed into, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
securities of the Company through reorganization, merger, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split-up or otherwise, an appropriate and proportionate
adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares as to which options
may be granted. A corresponding adjustment changing the number or kind of
shares allocated to unexercised options or portions thereof, which shall have
been granted prior to any such change shall likewise be made. Any such
adjustment, however, in the outstanding options shall be made without change in
the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the option but with a
corresponding adjustment in the price for each share covered by the option.
Corresponding adjustments shall be made with respect to stock appreciation
rights.
Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
are changed into or exchanged for shares or securities of another corporation,
or upon a sale of substantially all the property or stock of the Company to
another corporation, and in which such other corporation (or an affiliate), if
applicable, does not assume the options (with stock appreciation rights, if
any) granted under the Program or substitute comparable options and rights
therefor, the options (and, where applicable, companion stock appreciation
rights) theretofore granted hereunder to a person who at the time of such event
is an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall, subject to the
approval of the majority of the disinterested directors holding office at the
time of such event, become exercisable to the full extent theretofore not
exercised, but in no event after the option period specified in each individual
option agreement.
Adjustments under this Section shall be made by the Board of Directors
of the Company, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and
the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional
shares of stock shall be issued under the Program or any such adjustment. If
for any reason any person becomes entitled to any interest in a fractional
share, a cash payment shall be made of an equivalent value for such interest.
7. ACCELERATION UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Program, if the Board of Directors determines that a
Change in Control has occurred or is about to occur, the options (and where
applicable companion stock appreciation rights) theretofore granted hereunder
to a person who at the time of the Change in Control
2
3
is an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall become
exercisable to the full extent theretofore not exercised, but in no event after
the option period specified in each individual option agreement.
For purposes of this Section B.7 only, a Change in Control of the
Company shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) any "person" (as such term is
used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (B)
during any period of two consecutive years individuals who at the beginning of
such period constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director
designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to
effect a transaction described in clauses (A) or (C) of this Subsection) whose
election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders
was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still
in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (C) the shareholders of the Company
approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation,
other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the combined voting power
of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the
Company's assets.
8. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors of the
Company may at any time suspend, amend or terminate the Program or any part
thereof and may, with the consent of an option holder, make such modifications
of the terms and conditions of his or her options and, where applicable,
companion stock appreciation rights, as it shall deem advisable; provided that
except as permitted under the provisions of Section B6 of the Program, no
amendment or modification may be adopted without further approval of the
shareholders of the Company which would
(a) increase the maximum number of shares issuable under
the Program;
(b) decrease the minimum option price;
(c) increase the maximum term of options or stock
appreciation rights provided for herein;
(d) increase the payment to be made upon exercise of
stock appreciation rights; or
(e) permit the granting of options or stock appreciation
rights to anyone other than an officer or other key
employee of the Company or of a subsidiary.
Unless the Program shall be terminated by the Board of Directors, the
Program shall terminate on March 3, 1996. No option or stock appreciation
right may be granted during any suspension or after such termination. The
amendment, suspension or termination of the Program shall not, without the
consent of the option holder, alter or impair any rights or obligations under
any option or stock appreciation right theretofore granted under the Program or
the respective Plan.
9. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. The holder of an option or
stock appreciation right shall not be entitled to the privilege of stock
ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually issued and delivered to
him or her. Upon the exercise of an option or stock appreciation right, the
option holder, if so requested by the Committee, in its discretion, shall
represent to the Company that the shares purchased or issued are being acquired
for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and no shares
shall be purchased or issued upon the exercise of any option or stock
appreciation right unless and until, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
any then applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or
other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and of any exchanges upon which
stock of the Company may be listed, shall have been fully complied with.
3
4
10. SUBSIDIARY. The term "subsidiary" for the purpose of the
Program means a corporation the voting stock of which is 50% or more owned
directly or indirectly by the Company.
11. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company or a subsidiary shall make such
provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of taxes which the
Company or subsidiary determines it is required to withhold in connection with
the grant or exercise of options or stock appreciation rights under the
Program.
12. TIME OF GRANTING OF OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
The grant of an option or stock appreciation right pursuant to the Program
shall take place only upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company of
a resolution granting such option or stock appreciation right; provided,
however, that if an appropriate resolution of the Board of Directors indicates
that an option or stock appreciation right is to be granted as of and at some
future date, the date of grant shall be such future date.
13. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PROGRAM. The Program shall be effective
upon approval by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares
entitled to vote upon the proposal to approve the Program at the 1986 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or at any special meeting of
shareholders called for that purpose.
C. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

Plan are the provisions specified herein as well as all of the General Program
Requirements which are specifically incorporated herein by reference.
2. INCENTIVE OPTION PRICE. The purchase price of stock covered
by each option under the Incentive Plan shall be determined by the Committee
but shall be not less than the fair market value of such stock, as determined
by the Committee, on the date the option is granted. The purchase price of any
shares purchased shall be paid in full at the time of each such purchase (a) in
cash or (b) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
by transfer to the Company of previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the

Incentive Plan shall be exercisable, and the total number of shares subject
thereto shall be purchasable, in installments, which need not be equal, to be
specified in the option. The first installment shall not mature to make the
shares thereof subject to purchase until at least one year after the date the
option is granted. The holder of an option may exercise it in whole or in part
and from time to time with respect to any installment after the maturity
thereof; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion insert
provisions in any option which cause the partial or complete expiration thereof
in the event that installments or parts thereof are not exercised within
specified time limitations.
5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If the holder of an incentive
option ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any
reason other than his or her death or disability, or if the option holder is
employed by a subsidiary which ceases to be a subsidiary, his or her option
shall expire three months after the happening of such event, unless by its
terms it sooner expires, and during such period after the happening of such
event shall be exercisable only to the extent that the option holder was

expire forthwith.

ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries because of his
or her disability, his or her option shall expire one year after the happening
of such
4
5
event, unless by its terms it sooner expires, and during such period after the
happening of such event shall be exercisable only to the extent that the option
holder was entitled to exercise such option on the date of the happening of
such event.
7. DEATH OF EMPLOYEE. If a holder of an incentive option dies
while he or she is employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or
within three months after the termination of such employment where such
termination was not for cause or within one year after the termination of such
employment where such termination was caused by his or her disability his or
her option shall expire one year after the date of such death, unless by its
terms it sooner expires, and during such period after such death such option
may, to the extent that the option holder was entitled to exercise such option
on the date of his or her death or on the date of termination of his or her
employment, if such occurred first, be exercised by the person or persons to
whom the option holder's rights under the option shall pass by his or her will
or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
8. LIMITATION ON GRANT. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Incentive Plan, the aggregate fair market value, determined as of the time
the option is granted, of the stock for which any employee may be granted
incentive stock options in any calendar year, under all incentive stock option
plans of his or her employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary
corporations, shall not exceed $100,000 plus any unused limit carryover to such
year. The unused limit carryover available to any employee in any calendar
year shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 422A of
the Code.

incentive stock option which was granted before the granting of such option, to
such individual to purchase stock in his or her corporation or in a corporation
which (at the time of the granting of such option) is a parent or subsidiary
corporation of the employer corporation, or is a predecessor corporation of any
of such corporations.

be granted in connection with any incentive stock option granted under the
Incentive Plan.

from the date on which the option is granted, and shall be subject to earlier
termination as hereinafter provided.
4. EXERCISE OF NONSTATUTORY OPTIONS. Each option granted under
the Nonstatutory Plan shall be exercisable, and the total number of shares
subject thereto shall be purchasable, in installments, which need not be equal,
to be specified in the option. Except as otherwise determined by the
Committee, the first installment shall not mature to make the shares thereof
subject to purchase until at least one year after the date the option is
granted. The holder of an option may exercise it in whole or in part and from
time to time with respect to any installment after the maturity thereof;
provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion insert provisions
in any option which cause the partial or
5
6
complete expiration thereof in the event that installments or parts thereof are
not exercised within specified time limitations.
5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise determined by
the Committee, if a holder of a nonstatutory option ceases to be employed by
the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason other than death,
disability or retirement under the Lockheed Salaried Employee Retirement Plan
(or any plan in substitution thereof), or if the option holder is employed by a
subsidiary which ceases to be a subsidiary, his or her option (and companion
stock appreciation rights, if any) shall expire one year after the happening of
such event, unless by its terms it sooner expires, and during such period after
the happening of such event shall be exercisable only to the extent that the
option holder was entitled to exercise such option on the date of the happening
of such event; provided, however, that if an option holder's employment is
terminated for cause, of which the Committee shall be the sole judge, his or
her option (and companion stock appreciation right, if any) shall expire
forthwith.
6. DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT OF EMPLOYEE. If a holder of a
nonstatutory option (i) dies while employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, or within one year after the termination of such employment where
such termination was not for cause; (ii) becomes disabled while employed by the
Company or one of its subsidiaries; or (iii) retires under the Lockheed
Salaried Employee Retirement Plan (or any plan in substitution thereof), his or
her option shall expire ten years from the date on which the option is granted,
unless by its terms it sooner expires, and during such period after such death,
disability or retirement, such option and, where applicable, stock appreciation
right, shall be exercisable only to the extent that the option holder was
entitled to exercise such option (and stock appreciation right, if any) on the
date of his or her death, disability or retirement, or on the date of
termination of his or her employment, if such occurred first. In the case of
death, such option shall be exercisable by the person or persons to whom the
option holder's rights under the option shall pass by his or her will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any nonstatutory option granted in consideration of the cancellation of stock
appreciation rights held by an employee shall be exercisable upon the
maturation of the option and remain exercisable during the term thereof
irrespective of the termination of employment of the employee as a result of
his or her retirement.
7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A stock appreciation right may be
granted, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, in connection with any
nonstatutory option granted under the Nonstatutory Plan, either at the time of
grant of such option or at any time thereafter during the term of the option,
subject to Section B7 of the Program. A stock appreciation right shall be
related to a particular option ("companion option"), either an option
previously granted or an option granted concurrently with the stock
appreciation right, and shall extend to a specified number of shares (not in
excess of 50%) subject to the companion option. The stock appreciation right
shall entitle the holder (subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
below), upon exercise of his or her option for a number of shares and surrender
of a then exercisable portion of his or her option for up to an equivalent
number of shares (subject to the maximum number of shares to which the stock
appreciation right extends), to receive payment of an amount determined
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the following paragraph.
Stock appreciation rights shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
Program as the Committee may approve:
(a) A stock appreciation right shall be exercisable by
the holder (or such other person entitled to exercise the stock
appreciation right under Section D6 of the Program) only at such time
or times, and to the extent, that the companion option shall have been
exercised for at least an equivalent number of shares. The companion
option must, at the time of exercise of the stock appreciation right
and after reduction for the number of shares with respect to which
such option is exercised, be then exercisable for a number of shares
equal to or in excess of the number of shares with respect to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised.
(b) Upon exercise of the stock appreciation right and
surrender of an exercisable portion of the companion option, the
holder shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount (subject to
Section D7(c) below) determined by multiplying
6
7
(i) the difference obtained by subtracting the
option exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to the
companion option from the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation
right, by
(ii) the number of shares with respect to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised.
(c) Payment of the amount determined under subparagraph
(b) above generally shall be made in cash, provided, however, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle such stock appreciation
right solely in shares of Common Stock (valued at fair market value on
the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right), or partly in
such shares and partly in cash, and provided further, however, that in
any event cash shall be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
(d) A stock appreciation right shall in no event be
exercisable unless and until six months have elapsed from the date of
grant of such stock appreciation right.
(e) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish
(at the time of grant) a maximum amount per share which will be
payable upon exercise of a stock appreciation right expressed as a
dollar amount or as a percentage or multiple of the option exercise
price of the companion option.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program,
the Committee may impose such conditions on exercise of a stock
appreciation right (including, without limitation, the right of the
Committee to limit the time of exercise to specified periods) as may
be required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or any
successor rule), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

EXHIBIT 10.24
LOCKHEED CORPORATION
1982 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM
A. PREAMBLE
The Lockheed Corporation (the "Company") 1982 Employee Stock Purchase
Program (the "Program") is comprised of two separate stock option plans
(collectively referred to as the "Plans"). The first of the Plans is called
the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Incentive Plan") and is intended to be
used exclusively for the grant of options qualifying under Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code"). The second Plan is
called the Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "Nonstatutory Plan") and is
intended to be used exclusively for the grant of nonstatutory options, either
with or without stock appreciation rights. Both the Incentive Plan and the
Nonstatutory Plan, in addition to being subject to the requirements contained
within the respective Plans, are subject to the General Program Requirements
specified herein and these requirements are hereby expressly made a part and
incorporated into the terms of each of the Plans.
B. GENERAL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Program is to strengthen the
Company and its subsidiaries by providing an additional means of retaining and
attracting competent management personnel and by providing to participating
officers and other key employees an added incentive for high levels of
performance and for unusual efforts to increase the earnings of the Company.
2. ADMINISTRATION. The Program shall be administered by the
Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Committee"), which Committee shall consist of three or more
members of the Board of Directors who are not eligible to receive options or
stock appreciation rights under the Program and who have not been eligible, at
any time within one year prior to appointment to the Committee, for selection
as a person to whom stock may be allocated or to whom options or stock
appreciation rights may be granted pursuant to the Program or any other plan of
the Company or any of its affiliates entitling the participants therein to
acquire stock, stock appreciation rights or stock options of the Company or any
of its affiliates.
Subject to the express provisions of the Program and each of the
Plans, the Committee shall have authority to construe and interpret the
Program, and to define the terms used herein, to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Program, to
determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to
participants without constituting a termination of their employment for the
purposes of the Program, and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Program. The determinations of the
Committee on the matters referred to in this Section shall be conclusive. Any
action of the Committee with respect to the administration of the Program shall
be taken pursuant to a majority vote, or to the written consent of a majority
of its members.
3. PARTICIPATION. Subject to the express provisions of the
Program, the Committee shall determine the officers and other key employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries to whom options (including options with stock
appreciation rights) shall be granted, the terms and provisions of the
respective option agreement (which need not be identical), the time or times at
which such options and stock appreciation rights shall be granted, and the
number of shares subject to each option and, where applicable, companion stock
appreciation rights. An individual who has been granted an option may, if he
or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional option or options and,
where applicable, companion stock appreciation right or rights, or stock
appreciation rights on an option or options previously granted without
companion stock appreciation rights, if the Committee shall so determine.
Members of the Committee shall not be eligible, while members of the Committee,
to receive the grant of options or stock appreciation rights under the Program.
1
2
The determination of the Committee with respect to the granting of all
options and stock appreciation rights shall be presented to the Board of
Directors and grants shall not be made except upon the approval of such
recommendations by the Board of Directors.
4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PROGRAM. Subject to adjustment as provided
in Section B6 hereof, the stock to be offered under the Program shall be shares
of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock, $1 par value
(hereinafter called "Common Stock"), and the aggregate amount of stock to be
delivered upon exercise of all options and stock appreciation rights granted
under the Program shall not exceed 1,250,000 of such shares. If any option
granted pursuant to the Program shall expire or terminate for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unissued shares subject thereto
shall again be available for the purposes of the Program. For purposes of
determining the number of shares to charge against the maximum limitation set
forth above, the exercise of a stock appreciation right shall be treated as the
exercise of the portion of the companion option which is surrendered in
connection with exercise of the stock appreciation right.
5. NONTRANSFERABILITY. An option or stock appreciation right
granted under the Program shall, by its terms, be nontransferable by the option
holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall
be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by him or her.
6. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. If the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased,
changed into, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
securities of the Company through reorganization, merger, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split-up or otherwise, an appropriate and proportionate
adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares as to which options
may be granted. A corresponding adjustment changing the number or kind of
shares allocated to unexercised options or portions thereof, which shall have
been granted prior to any such change shall likewise be made. Any such
adjustment, however, in the outstanding options shall be made without change in
the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the option but with a
corresponding adjustment in the price for each share covered by the option.
Corresponding adjustments shall be made with respect to stock appreciation
rights.
Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a
reorganization, merger or consolidation, of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation,
or upon a sale of substantially all the property or stock of the Company to
another corporation, and the new employer corporation (or an affiliate), if
applicable, does not assume the options (with stock appreciation rights, if
any) granted under the Program or substitute comparable options and rights
therefor, the options (and, where applicable, companion stock appreciation
rights) theretofore granted hereunder shall become exercisable to the full
extent theretofore not exercised, but in no event after the option period
specified in each individual option agreement.
Adjustments under this Section shall be made by the Board of Directors
of the Company, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and
the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional
shares of stock shall be issued under the Program or any such adjustment. If
for any reason any person becomes entitled to any interest in a fractional
share, a cash payment shall be made of an equivalent value for such interest.
7. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors of the
Company may at any time suspend, amend or terminate the Program or any part
thereof and may, with the consent of an option holder, make such modifications
of the terms and conditions of his or her options and, where applicable,
companion stock appreciation rights, as it shall deem advisable; provided that
except as permitted under the provisions of Section B6 of the Program, no
amendment or modification may be adopted without further approval of the
shareholders of the Company which would
(a) increase the maximum number of shares issuable under
the Program;
(b) decrease the minimum option price;
2
3
(c) increase the maximum term of options or stock
appreciation rights provided for herein;
(d) increase the payment to be made upon exercise of
stock appreciation rights; or
(e) permit the granting of options or stock appreciation
rights to anyone other than an officer or other key
employee of the Company or of a subsidiary.
Unless the Program shall be terminated by the Board of Directors, the
Program shall terminate on February 28, 1992. No option or stock appreciation
right may be granted during any suspension or after such termination. The
amendment, suspension or termination of the Program or either of the Plans
shall not, without the consent of the option holder, alter or impair any rights
or obligations under any option or stock appreciation right theretofore granted
under the Program or the respective Plan.
8. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. The holder of an option or
stock appreciation right shall not be entitled to the privilege of stock
ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually issued and delivered to
him or her. Upon the exercise of an option or stock appreciation right, the
option holder, if so requested by the Committee, in its discretion, shall
represent to the Company that the shares purchased or issued are being acquired
for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and no shares
shall be purchased or issued upon the exercise of any option or stock
appreciation right unless and until, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
any then applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or
other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and of any exchanges upon which
stock of the Company may be listed, shall have been fully complied with.
9. SUBSIDIARY. The term "subsidiary" for the purpose of the
Program means a corporation the voting stock of which is 50% or more owned
directly or indirectly by the Company.
10. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company or a subsidiary shall make such
provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of taxes which the
Company or subsidiary determines it is required to withhold in connection with
the grant or exercise of options or stock appreciation rights under the
Program.
11. TIME OF GRANTING OF OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
The grant of an option or stock appreciation right pursuant to the Program
shall take place only upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company of
a resolution granting such option or stock appreciation right; provided,
however, that if an appropriate resolution of the Board of Directors indicates
that an option or stock appreciation right is to be granted as of and at some
future date, the date of grant shall be such future date.
12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PROGRAM. The Program shall be effective
upon approval by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares
entitled to vote upon the proposal to approve the Program at the 1982 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or at any special meeting of
shareholders called for that purpose.
C. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION

shares purchased shall be paid in full at the time of each such purchase (a) in

3. INCENTIVE OPTION PERIOD. Each option granted under the
Incentive Plan and all rights or obligations thereunder shall be expressed to
expire on such date as the Committee may determine, not later than 5 years from
the date on which the option is granted, and shall be subject to earlier
termination as hereinafter provided.
4. EXERCISE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS. Each option granted under the
Incentive Plan shall be exercisable, and the total number of shares subject
thereto shall be purchasable, in installments, which need not be equal, to be
specified in the option. The first installment shall not mature to make the
shares thereof subject to purchase until at least one year after the date the
option is granted. The holder of an option may exercise it in whole or in part
and from time to time with respect to any installment after the maturity
thereof; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion insert
provisions in any option which cause the partial or complete expiration thereof
in the event that installments or parts thereof are not exercised within
specified time limitations.
5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If the holder of an incentive
option ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any
reason other than his or her death or disability, or if the option holder is
employed by a subsidiary which ceases to be a subsidiary, his or her option
shall expire three months after the happening of such event, unless by its
terms it sooner expires, and during such period after the happening of such
event shall be exercisable only to the extent that the option holder was

cause of which the Committee shall be the sole judge, his or her option shall
expire forthwith.

after the happening of such event shall be exercisable only to the extent that
the option holder was entitled to exercise such option on the date of the
happening of such event.
7. DEATH OF EMPLOYEE. If a holder of an incentive option dies
while he or she is employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or
within three months after the termination of such employment where such
termination was not for cause or within one year after the termination of such
employment where such termination was caused by his or her disability his or
her option shall expire one year after the date of such death, unless by its
terms it sooner expires, and during such period after such death such option
may, to the extent that the option holder was entitled to exercise such option
of the date of his or her death or on the date of termination of his or her
employment, if such occurred first, be exercised by the person or persons to
whom the option holder's rights under the option shall pass by his or her will
or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

this Incentive Plan, the aggregate fair market value, determined as of the time
the option is granted, of the stock for which any employee may be granted
incentive stock options in any calendar year, under all incentive stock option
plans of his or her employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary
corporations, shall not exceed $100,000 plus any unused limit carryover to such
year. The unused limit carryover available to any employee in any calendar
year shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 422A of
the Code.
9. LIMITATION ON EXERCISE. Each incentive stock option granted
pursuant to this Incentive Plan by its terms shall not be exercisable while

subsidiary corporation of the employer corporation, or is a predecessor
corporation of any of such corporations.

be granted in connection with any incentive stock option granted under the
Incentive Plan.

specifically incorporated herein by reference.
2. NONSTATUTORY OPTION PRICE. The purchase price of stock
covered by each option granted under the Nonstatutory Plan shall be determined
by the Committee but shall be not less than the fair market value of such
stock, as determined by the Committee, on the date the option is granted. The
purchase price of any shares purchased shall be paid in full at the time of
each such purchase (a) in cash or (b) to the extent permitted by the Committee,
in its sole discretion, by transfer to the Company of previously acquired
shares of Common Stock of the Company (valued at the fair market value on the
date of exercise) or a combination of cash and previously acquired shares.
3. NONSTATUTORY OPTION PERIOD. Each option granted under the
Nonstatutory Plan and all rights or obligations thereunder shall be expressed
to expire on such date as the Committee may determine, not later than 10 years
from the date on which the option is granted, and shall be subject to earlier
termination as hereinafter provided.
4. EXERCISE OF NONSTATUTORY OPTIONS. Each option granted under
the Nonstatutory Plan shall be exercisable, and the total number of shares
subject thereto shall be purchasable, in installments, which need not be equal,
to be specified in the option. The first installment shall not mature to make

thereof; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion insert
provisions in any option which cause the partial or complete expiration thereof
in the event that installments or parts thereof are not exercised within
specified time limitations.
5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise determined by
the Committee, if a holder of a nonstatutory option ceases to be employed by
the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason other than death,
disability or retirement under the Lockheed Salaried Employee Retirement Plan
(or any plan in substitution thereof), or if the option holder is employed by a
subsidiary which ceases to be a subsidiary, his or her option (and companion
stock appreciation rights, if any) shall expire one year after the happening of
such event, unless by its terms it sooner expires, and during such period after
the happening of such event shall be exercisable only to the extent that the

forthwith.
6. DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT OF EMPLOYEE. If a holder of a
nonstatutory option (i) dies while employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, or within one year after the termination of such employment where
such termination was not for cause; (ii) becomes disabled while employed by the
Company or one of its subsidiaries; or (iii) retires under the Lockheed
Salaried Employee Retirement Plan (or any plan in substitution thereof), his or
her option shall expire ten years from the date on which the option is granted,
unless by its terms it sooner expires, and during such period after such death,
disability or retirement, such option and, where applicable, stock appreciation
right, shall be exercisable only to the extent that the option holder was
entitled to exercise such option (and stock appreciation right, if any) on the
date of his or her death, disability or retirement, or on the date of
termination of his or her employment, if such occurred first. In the case of
death, such option shall be exercisable by the person or persons to whom the

nonstatutory option granted under the Nonstatutory Plan, either at the time of
grant of such option or at any time thereafter during the term of the option,
subject to Section B7 of the
5
6
Program. A stock appreciation right shall be related to a particular option
("companion option"), either an option previously granted or an option granted
concurrently with the stock appreciation right, and shall extend to a specified
number of shares (not in excess of 50%) subject to the companion option. The
stock appreciation right shall entitle the holder (subject to the conditions
and limitations set forth below), upon exercise of his or her option for a
number of shares and surrender of a then exercisable portion of his or her
option for up to an equivalent number of shares (subject to the maximum number
of shares to which the stock appreciation right extends), to receive payment of
an amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the following paragraph.
Stock appreciation rights shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
Program as the Committee may approve:
(a) A stock appreciation right shall be exercisable by
the holder (or such other person entitled to exercise the stock
appreciation right under Section D6 of the Program) only at such time
or times, and to the extent, that the companion option shall have been
exercised for at least an equivalent number of shares. The companion
option must, at the time of exercise of the stock appreciation right
and after reduction for the number of shares with respect to which
such option is exercised, be then exercisable for a number of shares
equal to or in excess of the number of shares with respect to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised.
(b) Upon exercise of the stock appreciation right and
surrender of an exercisable portion of the companion option, the
holder shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount (subject to
Section D7(c) below) determined by multiplying
(i) the difference obtained by subtracting the
option exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to the
companion option from the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation
right, by
(ii) the number of shares with respect to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised.
(c) Payment of the amount determined under subparagraph
(b) above generally shall be made in cash, provided, however, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle such stock appreciation
right solely in shares of Common Stock (valued at fair market value on
the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right), or partly in
such shares and partly in cash, and provided further, however, that in
any event cash shall be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
(d) A stock appreciation right shall in no event be
exercisable unless and until six months have elapsed from the date of
grant of such stock appreciation right.
(e) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish
(at the time of grant) a maximum amount Per share which will be
payable upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, expressed as a
dollar amount or as a percentage or multiple of the option exercise
price of the companion option.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program, the
Committee may impose such conditions on exercise of a stock
appreciation right (including, without limitation, the right of the
Committee to limit the time of exercise to specified periods) as may
be required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 1 6b-3 (or any
successor rule), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

of the Company over a sustained period will be considered eligible for
selection for participation in the Plan for any particular Performance Cycle.
Participants shall be those selected by the Committee for the January 1993 and
1994 cycles. No members of the Committee shall be eligible for participation
in the Plan.
ARTICLE IV
PARTICIPANT AWARDS
1. ESTABLISHMENT OF PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. For each Performance Cycle,
the Committee will adopt a set of two award factor schedules for the purpose of
measuring Company performance and translating such performance into an award
percentage for that Performance Cycle. The award factor schedules will
measure:
A. The Company's absolute percentage gain in total shareholder
value over the Performance Cycle as compared to an absolute percentage
target ("Lockheed Factor").
B. The Company's gain in total shareholder value over the
Performance Cycle as compared to the gain in total shareholder value
of a peer group of companies over the same time period ("Peer Group
Factor").
2. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND MEASUREMENT. Performance criteria and
measurement shall be in accordance with the following principles:
A. Lockheed Factor
The Lockheed Factor schedule for each Performance Cycle will be
constructed to measure the actual percentage increase in the Company's
total shareholder value during the Performance Cycle against a target
percentage increase in total shareholder value selected by the
Committee. The percentage change in total shareholder value during a
Performance Cycle will be measured by comparing the Beginning Market
Value of the Company's common stock to its Ending Market Value, and
making appropriate adjustments for cash dividends, stock splits, and
similar occurrences during the Performance
3
4
Cycle. Calculations of the actual percentage increase in the
Company's total shareholder value will be rounded to the nearest
one-tenth of one percent. Lockheed's value will be adjusted for the
1.63 conversion factor set forth in the Merger Agreement between
Lockheed and Martin Marietta Corporation (MMC). After adjustment the
value for purposes of calculations under this Plan shall be the
Lockheed-Martin share price.
B. Peer Group Factor
The Peer Group Factor schedule for each Performance Cycle will be
constructed to measure the Company's gain in total shareholder value
over the Performance Cycle against the gain in total shareholder value
attained over the same time period by a peer group of aerospace
competitors.
(1.) Peer Group: The aerospace peer group for the
1992-1994 Performance Cycle consists of: General Dynamics,
Grumman, Martin Marietta, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop,
Raytheon, Rockwell, and Loral. The aerospace peer group for
subsequent Performance Cycles will be listed on the applicable
Peer Group Factor schedule. The Grumman and Martin Marietta
portions of the peer group shall be equally redistributed to
the remaining numbers of the peer group as follows:
o For Grumman, as of April 15, 1994, by using
the closing price as of that date.
o For Martin Marietta, as of March 15, 1995, by
using the closing price on that date.
(2.) Calculation of Gain in Total Shareholder Value: The
gain in total shareholder value over the Performance Cycle for
the Company, and for the aerospace peer group, will be
calculated on the basis of two phantom stock portfolios. On
the
4
5
first day of each Performance Cycle a fictional investment of
$100 million will be made in each of the following, based
upon the Beginning Market Value of the respective stocks:
(a) Lockheed Corporation common stock; and
(b) A portfolio comprised of the common stock of the
companies in the aerospace peer group.
The investment in the portfolio of peer company stocks under
(2) will be equally divided among each of the companies of
the group, except that the Committee may adjust such
proportion at its discretion in order to achieve a more
balanced weighting of investments in individual companies.
Any such adjustment will be indicated on the applicable Peer
Group Factor schedule for the Performance Cycle to which it
applies. Any "cash dividend paid" on a stock in either of
the portfolios will be deemed to be immediately reinvested in
the underlying stock.
At the end of each Performance Cycle, the final market value of the
Company portfolio will be divided by the final market value of the
aerospace peer group portfolio to determine the Company's gain in
total shareholder value during the Performance Cycle relative to the
peer group's gain. The final market value of a portfolio will be
based upon the Ending Market Values of the common stocks in the
portfolio.
C. There is established an Accounting Council for the purpose of
assisting the Committee in managing the operation of the Plan. Such
Council shall consist of the following officers of the Company, or
their delegates:
Vice President & Controller
Vice President & Treasurer
Vice President-Internal Audit
5
6
The Council is authorized to establish uniform definitions and
interpretations of terms and concepts, and to establish appropriate
methods for and make calculations as necessary for the measurement of
performance under the Plan. Items not clearly identified on, or
determinable from, a company's financial records shall be determined
by the Council. All such actions by the Council shall be in
accordance with generally accepted accounting and financial
principles, and duly recorded in writing.
D. The performance measurement calculations under the award
factor schedules shall be audited by the Company's internal audit
staff and subject to review by the Company's independent auditor.
3. CALCULATION OF AWARDS.
A. A Participant's Award shall be the percent of Target Award
earned, based on the absolute gain in total shareholder value for the
Performance Cycle (as determined from the Lockheed Factor schedule),
multiplied by a factor based on Company total shareholder value
relative to shareholder total value of the aerospace peer group (as
determined by the Peer Group Factor schedule).
B. The award calculated in 3.A above shall be reduced by any
payment made to a Participant Long Term Performance Plan on February
7, 1995 as a result of terminating the predecessor.
C. The maximum Award to any Participant may not exceed
200% of the Participant's Target Award.
ARTICLE V
ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD/PRO-RATION OF AWARD
Except as otherwise provided in this Article, a Participant must be an
Employee on the last day of a Performance Cycle in

order to be eligible to receive an Award for that Performance Cycle. If a
Participant ceases to be an Employee during a Performance Cycle for reasons of
retirement under a Company retirement plan, disability or death, such
Participant, or Participant's designated beneficiary, shall be eligible to
receive an Award for such Performance Cycle which shall be prorated according
to the length of employment within such three-year period. Awards shall
likewise be prorated for those Employees who become Participants during a
Performance Cycle, or who cease to be a Participant during a Performance Cycle
and continue to be employed by the Company.
ARTICLE VI
PAYMENT OF AWARD
1. GENERAL RULE. The amount of each Participant's Award shall be
paid to such Participant in cash during the second quarter of the year
following the end of the Performance Cycle for which the Award is made or on a
deferred basis as determined by the Committee.
Such determination as to deferred payments shall be governed by the Committee's
judgment as to the time or times of payment best serving the interests of the
Company. Deferred payments shall be made pursuant to such terms and conditions
as may be determined or provided for by the Committee, only to Participants who
continue in the employ of the Company or are retired under a retirement plan
approved by the Board of Directors, or to the estates of, or beneficiaries
designated by, Participants who shall have died while in such employ or after
such retirement. In the event of termination of employment by a Participant
for any reason other than such retirement or death, then such Participant or
his estate or his beneficiary or beneficiaries shall after such termination
receive a distribution or distributions, if any, the amount (not in excess of
the unpaid
7
8
deferred payments) and time of which shall be determined or provided for by the
Committee.
2. VOLUNTARY DEFERRAL. The amount of each Participant's Award which has
not been deferred by the Committee pursuant to paragraph 1 above will be paid
to such Participant in cash during the second quarter of the year following the
end of the Performance Cycle for which the Award is made, unless the
Participant has made a valid irrevocable election to defer such payment. Such
election shall be made during the first year of a Performance Cycle, with
respect to the payment of any Participant's Award for that Performance Cycle.
Deferral elections pursuant to this paragraph 2 shall otherwise be subject to
the same rules and requirements for deferrals under the Company's Deferred
Management Incentive Compensation Plan ("DMICP"). Any Awards so defined shall
no longer be subject to the terms of this Plan but shall thereafter be subject
to the DMICP, as amended from time to time. For purposes of administering the
DMICP the Award shall be deemed "Incentive Compensation" and any deferred Award
shall be deemed "Deferred Compensation".

by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors then still in office who
7
either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved.

4
A Director shall become a Participant in the Plan (i) automatically when the
Director's Annual Stock Retainer is credited to his or her Stock Retainer
Account pursuant to Article IV or (ii) by electing to defer all or a portion of
Cash Compensation. An election under clause (ii) shall be made by filing with
the Secretary a "Director's Deferral Election Form" which complies with the
requirements of Articles V and VI.
ARTICLE IV
AUTOMATIC DEFERRAL OF ANNUAL STOCK RETAINER
Any Annual Stock Retainer to which a Director is entitled during the Plan Year
shall not be immediately payable to such Director but shall be deferred
automatically, without any action on the part of the Director, and credited to
the Participant's Stock Retainer Account.
ARTICLE V
ELECTION TO DEFER CASH COMPENSATION
1. Election. On or before December 15 of each year, a Director may elect
to defer Cash Compensation for the ensuing Plan Year. Such election shall
specify
a. The percentage of each payment of Annual Cash Retainer to be
deferred, and/or
b. The percentage of each payment of Meeting Fees to be deferred.
2. Election by New Directors. A Director who is first elected during a
Plan Year may elect to defer Cash Compensation for the remainder of that Plan
Year by filing such election within 30 days of becoming a Director. Such
election shall be effective for all Cash Compensation for that Plan Year which
is earned after the election is filed with the Secretary.
3. Effect of Annual Election. The annual election made by a Participant
in regard to Cash Compensation for any Plan Year shall be irrevocable with
respect to such year. However, such election shall not be binding with respect
to Cash Compensation attributable to any succeeding Plan Year. A separate
election must be filed for each Plan Year.

ARTICLE VI
PAYOUT PERIOD ELECTIONS
1. Methods of Payout. Payments under the Plan shall be made in
accordance with the options elected by the Participant. The following options
are available:
a. A single lump sum payment of the amounts credited through the
first Crediting Date following the Participant's Payment
Eligibility Date, payable as of such Crediting Date.
b. Approximately equal annual installments over a period of
either, 5, 10, 15 or 20 years of the amounts credited to a
Participant's Account, commencing with the first Crediting
Date following the Participant's Payment Eligibility Date.
2. Payout Period Election. Coincident with an election under Article V,
a Participant in the Plan shall irrevocably elect one of the above methods of
payment with respect to all Deferred Compensation for the ensuing Plan Year.
A Participant who does not elect to defer any Cash Compensation for the ensuing
Plan Year shall nevertheless, on or before December 15 of each year, make an
irrevocable election of one of the above methods of payment with respect to the
Annual Stock Retainer for the ensuing Plan Year. A Director who is first
elected during a Plan Year and who does not elect to defer any Cash
Compensation for the remainder of that Plan Year shall nevertheless, within 30
days of becoming a Director, make an irrevocable election of one of the above
methods of payment with respect to the Annual Stock Retainer for that Plan
Year. If a Participant fails to elect a payment method with regard to the
Annual Stock Retainer for any Plan Year, the Participant shall be deemed to
have elected the single sum payment option for that Plan Year.
The payout period election made by a Participant for one Plan Year shall not be
binding with respect to Deferred Compensation for any succeeding Plan Year.
Thus, for example, a Participant may irrevocably elect a lump sum payment for
Deferred Compensation for one Plan Year and a ten-year installment payment
method for Deferred Compensation the succeeding Plan Year.

other similar transaction (a "Tender Offer"), then the Trustee
shall seek confidential written instructions from each
Participant as to whether the Stock credited to the
Participant's Accounts should be tendered. If a Participant
does not submit instructions, the Participant shall be deemed
to have elected not to have such shares tendered. The Trustee
shall tender or not tender the Stock in accordance with the
Participant's elections. If a Participant directs that any
shares allocated to his or her Elective Stock Account or

its sole discretion, determine that such Participant's
Elective Stock Account and Cash Account be paid out in the
manner elected by such Participant, but commencing at a date
earlier than such Participant's Payment Eligibility Date,
provided that if any such decision would subject the
Participant to liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such decision shall be
subject to the consent of the Participant or his or her
designated beneficiaries;
b. In the event that a Participant dies prior to the
Participant's Payment Eligibility Date, the Committee has the
discretion to disregard any payout period elections the
Participant has made and to aggregate and pay over to such
Participant's designated beneficiary the balance of such
Participant's Accounts through the last Crediting Date
preceding such payment; and
c. In the event that a Participant dies following the
commencement of payout on an installment basis, the
9
10
Committee may, in its sole discretion, aggregate and vary the
number and amount of installments for the remaining payout, if
any, to the designated beneficiary of such Participant.
4. To Whom Payments are to be Made. Each payment under the Plan shall be
made to the Participant, except that, in the event of the Participant's death,
payments will thereafter be made to the beneficiary or beneficiaries whom the
Participant has designated on the "Lockheed Beneficiary Designation Form," Form
22-B, as filed with the Secretary. If no such beneficiary has been designated,
or the designated beneficiary fails to survive the Participant, then such
post-death payments shall be made in accordance with the law of the
Participant's domicile at the date of death.
5. Special Payout Period. In the event that the Plan is amended,
modified, suspended or terminated, the Committee may, at its option, direct a
special five-year payout of all amounts accumulated and unpaid in each
Participant's Account hereunder, provided that it deems this to be in the best
interests of the Company. In this event, all amounts accumulated and unpaid in
each Participant's Account will continue to be credited with interest and/or
dividends, as specified in Article VII, throughout the special payout period.
If no such special payout is directed, each Participant's Account shall
continue to be credited with interest and/or dividend additions until paid out
in full under the provisions of the Plan.
6. Involuntary Termination of Director Status. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, in the event a Participant's status as a Director or as
a member of the Lockheed Martin Board is involuntarily terminated other than by
death, within 15 calendar days following such involuntary change in status all
amounts accumulated and unpaid in such Participant's Cash Account shall be paid
in a single lump sum and all shares of Stock in such Participant's Stock
Accounts shall be distributed. Section 5 of this Article VIII regarding a

EXHIBIT 10.31
LOCKHEED CORPORATION
RETIREMENT PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1987
AS AMENDED FEBRUARY 6, 1995
I. Purpose
The purpose of this plan shall be to provide
recognition and retirement compensation to eligible members of the Board of
Directors ("Board") of Lockheed Corporation ("Company") to facilitate the
Company's ability to attract, retain, and reward members of its Board.
II. Eligibility
Eligibility in this plan shall be limited to members
of the Board who are not employees of the Company who have at least five years
of total service on the Board as a director, and who resign or retire from the
Board in good standing.
III. Amount of Benefit
Each eligible director shall be entitled to an annual
retirement benefit which shall be equal to the annual retainer fee for
directors as in effect at the time of the eligible director's resignation or
retirement. For purposes of this calculation the annual retainer fee shall
include any annual amount automatically deposited in a trust for the purpose of
purchasing the Corporation's stock in accordance with the Deferred Compensation
Plan for Directors of Lockheed Corporation. This benefit shall be paid either
monthly or in one lump sum, as provided in Article IV. No additional amount
shall be paid for service on any of the committees of the Board, nor shall
interest be paid on these amounts.
IV. Commencement and Duration of Benefits
A. Monthly Payments.
Unless a lump sum payment is elected pursuant to
paragraph B, benefit payments will begin on the first day of the month on or
after the date on which an eligible director leaves the Board provided the
director is at least age 65. An eligible director who leaves the Board prior
to age 65 shall begin receiving benefit payments on the first day of the month
following the month in which the director turns 65. Benefits
2
will be paid on the first day of each month thereafter and will be paid for a
period equal to the number of years that the eligible director served as an
outside director of the Company, provided such director, or spouse thereof,
survives for such period. Fractional years of service will be rounded up to
the next higher whole year. In no event shall the payment period exceed twenty
(20) years. Upon the death of the eligible director, any remaining retirement
benefits under this plan will be paid to his or her spouse according to the
same payment schedule as set forth above. If there is no spouse living at the
time of death of the eligible director, no further payments will be made.
B. Lump Sum Payment Option. In lieu of receipt of monthly
payments under paragraph A above, an eligible director may irrevocably elect to
receive in a single lump sum payment an amount which is the actuarial
equivalent of the monthly benefits described in paragraph A. The actuarial
equivalent shall be computed using the interest rate which is one percent (1%)
above the rate which would be used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
to determine the present value of an immediate lump sum distribution on
termination of a pension plan, as in effect on January 1 of the year in which
monthly payments would otherwise begin under this Plan, and the Lockheed
Mortality Tables. The election must be made within the sixty (60) day period
preceding the later of the director's retirement from the Board or attainment
of age sixty five (65), by filing a written election with the Company's Vice
President of Human Resources. Payment will be made to the eligible director
six (6) months following the date monthly payments would otherwise begin
pursuant to paragraph A.
If a director who elects a lump sum payment should die after
leaving the Board but before the lump sum payment date, the lump sum benefit
will be paid on the lump sum payment date to the director's spouse. If the
spouse is not living on the lump sum payment date, no payment will be made.
C. Death While a Board Member.
If the eligible director should die while still a
Board member, the spouse will receive 100% of the benefit to which the director
would have been entitled had the director resigned on the date he or she died.
Monthly payments will commence to the spouse on the earlier of the date on
which the eligible director would have become entitled to receive payments, or
on the first day of the month following the month the spouse attains age 65,
but in no event earlier than the first day of the third month following the
director's death. In lieu of receiving monthly payments, the surviving spouse
may irrevocably elect within sixty (60) days of the director's death to receive
an
-2-
3
actuarially equivalent lump sum payment, calculated in accordance with
paragraph B, payable six (6) months after the date monthly payments to the
spouse would otherwise begin. If the spouse is not living at the time benefits
become payable, no payment will be made.
D. Involuntary Termination of Director Status. If an
eligible director's status as a Member of the Board is involuntarily terminated
other than by death, either before or after age 65, within thirty (30) calendar
days following such involuntary change in status there shall be paid to such
director an actuarially equivalent lump sum payment, calculated in accordance
with paragraph B, of the Director's retirement benefit.
V. Administration
The Salary Board of the Company, or the Vice
President of Human Resources, if authorized to act on its behalf, shall have
full and final authority to interpret this plan to make determinations which
they believe advisable for the administration of the plan, to approve
ministerial changes or amendments to the plan, to interpret plan provisions,
and to approve changes as may from time to time be required by law or
regulation. All decisions and determinations by the Salary Board shall be
final and binding upon all parties.
If any person entitled to payments under this plan
is, in the opinion of the Salary Board or its designee, incapacitated and
unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, the Salary Board
or its designee may direct that payments (or any portion) be made to that
person's legal guardian or conservator, or that person's spouse, as an
alternative to the payment to the person unable to use the payments. The
Salary Board or its designee shall have no obligation to supervise the use of
such payments, and court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship may be
required.
This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
VI TRUST
Although the Plan is an unfunded plan, the Company
has established a trust (the "Trust") pursuant to a trust agreement dated
December 22, 1994 by and between the Company and J. P. Morgan California to
hold assets, subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event of
its insolvency, to pay benefits under this Plan. The Company shall no later
than nine months following the close of its fiscal year make contributions
-3-
4
to the Trust in an amount sufficient, when added to the then principal of the
Trust and after consideration of benefits to be paid pursuant to other plans
covered by the Trust, to equal the present value of benefits which have accrued
under the Plan during the preceding fiscal year, as such amount is determined
by an independent actuary.
VII AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
The Board of Directors shall have the right to amend
or terminate this Plan at any time. In the event of Plan amendment or
termination, the Plan benefit payable on account of a retired or deceased
director shall not be impaired, and the Plan benefit of other directors shall
not be less than the benefit to which each such director would have been
entitled if he or she had retired immediately prior to such amendment or
termination of the Plan.

way of limitation, the obligation to pay all benefits to which the Executives
and Participants are or may become entitled under such Agreements and Plans and
all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executives in pursuing their rights
under the Agreements, in addition to such of those obligations, fees and
expenses as may be funded through this Trust. Distributions made from the
Trust to Executives and Participants in respect of the Agreements and Plans
pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof shall satisfy the Corporation's and
Subsidiaries' obligations to pay such benefits, fees and expenses to such

TRUST AND THE TRUST CORPUS
SECTION 2.01 Delivery of Funds.
(a) Concurrently with the execution of this
Trust, the Corporation is delivering to the Trustee to be held in trust
hereunder the sum of seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000)
in cash (or marketable securities having a fair market value equal to such
amount, or a letter of credit having a fair market value equal to such amount,
or some combination thereof) of which two million five hundred thousand dollars
($2,500,000) shall be allocated to Account B hereunder and five million dollars
($5,000,000) shall be allocated to Account C hereunder and administered and
disposed of by the Trustee as provided herein.
(b) Not later than seven (7) business days after
the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control of the Corporation (as defined
in Article III hereof) or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation
shall deliver to the Trustee to be held in trust hereunder an additional amount
of cash (or marketable securities having a fair market value equal to such
amount, or a letter of credit having a fair market value equal to such amount,
or some combination thereof) representing the sum of the amounts, determined as
provided in subsection (d) below, and such other amounts as may be necessary
for expenses and other costs of maintaining the Trust as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (collectively, the "Required Funding
Amount"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
4
5
amount required to be delivered to the Trustee under this subsection (b)
pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) below shall be reduced by the amount of cash and
the value (determined as of the date of such Potential Change in Control) of
property previously delivered to the Trustee pursuant to subsection (a) of this
Section 2.01.
(c) In the event of a Potential Change in Control
of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, at six-month intervals commencing
from the date of such Potential Change in Control, unless the Trust Corpus
shall theretofore have been released pursuant to Article IV hereof, recalculate
the Required Funding Amount as of the end of the month immediately preceding
such six-month interval date treating the Potential Change in Control as having
occurred at the end of such month. If the amount so calculated exceeds the
fair market value of the assets then held in trust, the Corporation shall
promptly (and in no event later than seven (7) business days from the date of
such six-month interval date) pay to the Trustee, an amount in cash, marketable
securities, letter of credit, or any combination thereof, equal to such excess.
If the Required Funding Amount so calculated is less than the fair market value
of the assets held in trust, the Trustee, upon receipt of a written request
from the Corporation, shall distribute to the Corporation such difference in
cash or, if applicable, shall reduce the amount of the letter of credit;
provided, however, that such distribution on or reduction shall only be
permitted prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control.
5
6
(d) The Required Funding Amount shall be equal to
the total of the amounts required for funding the following three accounts:
(i) Account A shall require an amount
equal to $20,000,000 to provide for the cash payment of the benefits specified
in the Agreements to each Executive (other than reimbursement for legal fees
and expenses incurred in pursuing his rights under the Agreement).
(ii) Account B shall require an amount equal to
$2,500,000, which shall be available only to satisfy the obligation under the
Agreements to pay the legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executives in
pursuing their rights under the Agreements (the "Legal Fund - Agreements").
(iii) Account C shall require an amount equal
$5,000,000, which shall be available only to satisfy the Corporation's
obligation under Section 4.02(e) hereof to pay the legal fees and expenses
incurred by the Participants in pursuing their rights under the Plans (the
"Legal Fund - Plans").
(e) The payments by the Corporation to the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 2.01(b) and (c) hereof shall be accompanied by the payment
schedule required by Section 4.02(a) hereof.
SECTION 2.02 Trust Corpus. (a) As used herein, the term
"Trust Corpus" shall mean the amounts delivered to the Trustee as described in
Section 2.01(a) hereof plus all amounts delivered thereafter pursuant to
Sections 2.01(b) and (c) hereof (and less such amounts distributed from the
Trust pursuant to
6
7
Sections 2.01(c), 4.02 and 4.03 hereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms
hereof), in whatever form held or invested as provided herein. The Trust
Corpus (except for any portion delivered to the Trustee in the form of a letter
of credit) shall be held, invested and reinvested by the Trustee only in
accordance with this Section 2.02. The Trustee may, in its discretion,
commingle the portions of the Trust Corpus allocated to Accounts A, B and C for
investment purposes. The Trustee shall use its good faith efforts to invest or
reinvest from time to time all or such part of the Trust Corpus as it believes
prudent under the circumstances (except for any portion delivered to the
Trustee in the form of a letter of credit) (taking into account, among other
things, anticipated cash requirements for the payment of benefits under the
Agreement and Plans) in either one or a combination of the following
investments:
(i) investments in direct obligations of
the United States of America or agencies of the United States of
America or obligations unconditionally and fully guaranteed as to
principal and interest by the United States of America, or in units or
shares of mutual funds thereof in each case maturing within one (1)
year or less from the date of acquisition; or
(ii) investments in negotiable
certificates of deposit (in each case maturing within one (1) year or
less from the date of acquisition) issued by a commercial bank
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America
or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus of at least
one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000);
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to
maximize the income earned on that portion of the Trust Corpus as is from time
to time invested or reinvested as set forth above, nor for any loss of income
due to liquidation of
7
8
any investment which the Trustee, in its sole discretion, believes necessary to
make payments or to reimburse expenses under the terms of this Trust.
(b) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust
within the meaning of section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and except as hereinafter provided, all interest and
other income earned on the investment of the Trust Corpus shall be the property
of the Corporation and shall not constitute a part of the Trust Corpus. The
interest and other income earned in any calendar year on amounts held in the
Trust shall be paid over to the Corporation by the Trustee as promptly as
practicable after the end of each calendar year or, in the event a Potential
Change in Control has occurred, after the first recalculation date under
Section 2.01(c) hereof occurring after the end of each calendar year. The
amount of such interest or other income payable to the Corporation under this
Section shall be reduced by the amount required to be delivered by the
Corporation to the Trustee under Section 2.01(c) and only the excess, if any,
shall be paid to the Corporation.
(c) All losses of income or principal in respect
of, and expenses (including, as provided in Section 5.01(g) hereof, any
expenses of the Trustee) charged against, the Trust Corpus shall be for the
account of the Corporation and the Corporation shall be obligated to promptly
reimburse the Trust Corpus for any loss in principal amount of, or expense
charged against, the Trust Corpus except to the extent that such amounts
8
9
have been applied to reduce amounts payable to the Corporation pursuant to
Section 2.01(c) or 2.02(b) hereof.
ARTICLE III

the Corporation; (ii) any "person" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) or
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
including the Corporation, publicly announces an intention to take actions
which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control of the Corporation;
(iii) any person, other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, becomes the "beneficial
owner" as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined
voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities; or (iv) the
Board of Directors of the Corporation adopts a resolution to the effect that,
for purposes of this Trust, a Potential Change in Control of the Corporation
has occurred.
SECTION 3.02 Definition of Change in Control. For purposes

occurred if (i) any "person," as such
9
10
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than a
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of

the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation
representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then
outstanding securities; or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years (not

approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or (iii) the shareholders of
the Corporation approve a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any
other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of the Corporation
10
11
or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation or (iv) the shareholders of the Corporation approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Corporation or an agreement for the sale or

Reorganization by and among a parent corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation
and the Corporation shall not constitute either a Change in Control under this
Section 3.02 or a Potential Change in Control of the Corporation under Section
3.01 hereof.
ARTICLE IV
RELEASE OF THE TRUST CORPUS
SECTION 4.01 Delivery to the Corporation. In the event the
Corporation delivers the Required Funding Amount to the Trustee upon a
Potential Change in Control, such amount, but not including the amounts
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or 2.01(d)(ii) hereof,
shall be returned to the Corporation six (6) months after delivery to the
Trustee unless a Change in Control shall have occurred during such six (6)
month period. Such six (6) month period shall be renewed in the event of any
subsequent Potential Change in Control occurring during such initial period.
The Corporation shall notify the Trustee of the occurrence of a Change in
Control or Potential Change in Control and the Trustee may rely on such notice
or on any other
11
12
actual notice, satisfactory to the Trustee, of such a change or potential
change which the Trustee may receive.
SECTION 4.02 Deliveries to Executives and Participants.
(a) The Corporation shall deliver the schedules
described below (the "Payment Schedules") to the Trustee no later than fifteen
(15) business days following the delivery of the funds to the Trustee pursuant
to Sections 2.01(a) and 2.01(b) hereof. Except as provided in Sections
2.01(c), 4.01, 4.03, and 6.01, the Trustee shall hold the Trust Corpus in its
possession under the provisions of this Trust until authorized to deliver the
Trust Corpus or any specified portion thereof in accordance with the terms of
such Payment Schedules.
(i) The Payment Schedule with respect to
the Required Funding Amount allocated to Account A shall indicate the aggregate
amount delivered to the Trustee in respect of all Executives and a formula or
instructions acceptable to the Trustee for determining the benefits payable to
each Executive under each such Agreement (other than the reimbursement of legal
fees and expenses incurred in pursuing his rights under such Agreement). An
Executive who is entitled to benefits hereunder shall deliver to the Trustee a
fully executed affidavit in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit IV
hereof and such other documentation as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may
reasonably require in support of such affidavit. Upon receipt of such
affidavit and supporting documentation, if any, the Trustee shall notify the
Corporation of the Executive's request for
12
13
payment. If, within five (5) business days following the Trustee's notice to
the Corporation, the Corporation does not notify the Trustee that the
Corporation has paid the benefits referred to in the affidavit, the Trustee
shall make payments to the Executive in accordance with the formula or other
instructions set forth in the Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make
payments to the Executives from Account A in the order in which properly
documented claims are received by the Trustee; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not make any payments pursuant to this subparagraph prior to the
expiration of the 90-day period commencing immediately following the occurrence
of a Change in Control; and provided further, that if the aggregate amounts
payable pursuant to properly documented claims that are received by the Trustee
during such 90-day period exceed the value of the assets allocated to Account
A, as soon as practicable following the expiration of such 90-day period, the
Trustee shall pay to each affected Executive an amount equal to the product of
(x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the benefit payable to
such Executive pursuant to the Payment Schedule and the denominator of which is
the aggregate amount payable to all affected Executives and (y) the value of
the assets allocated to Account A (such value to be determined as of the date
of payment).
(ii) The Payment Schedule with respect to the
Required Funding Amount allocated to Account B shall indicate the aggregate
amount delivered to the Trustee in respect of the Executives. An Executive who
is entitled to payment hereunder
13
14
shall deliver to the Trustee a fully executed affidavit substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit V hereof and such other documentation as the Trustee,
in its sole discretion, may reasonably require in support of such affidavit.
Upon receipt of such affidavit and supporting documents, if any, the Trustee
shall notify the Corporation of the Executive's request for payment. If,
within five (5) business days following the Trustee's notice to the
Corporation, the Corporation does not notify the Trustee that the Corporation
has paid the legal fees and expenses required in the affidavit, the Trustee
shall make payments to the Executive in accordance with the affidavit and
supporting documents. The Trustee shall make payments to the Executives from
Account B in the order in which properly documented claims are received by the
Trustee.
(iii) The Payment Schedule with respect to the
Required Funding Amount allocated to Account C shall indicate the aggregate
amount delivered to the Trustee in respect of the Participants. A Participant
who is entitled to payment hereunder shall deliver to the Trustee a fully
executed affidavit substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit V hereof and
such other documentation as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may reasonably
require in support of such affidavit. Upon receipt of such affidavit and
supporting documents, if any, the Trustee shall notify the Corporation of the
Participant's request for payment. If, within five (5) business days following
the Trustee's notice to the Corporation, the Corporation does not notify the
Trustee that the Corporation has paid the legal fees
14
15
and expenses referred to in the affidavit, the Trustee shall make payments to
the Participant in accordance with the affidavit and supporting documents. The
Trustee shall make payments to the Participant from Account C in the order in
which properly documented claims are received by the Trustee.
(b) A modified Payment Schedule shall be
delivered by the Corporation to the Trustee no later than fifteen (15) business
days following the date that additional amounts are required to be paid by the
Corporation to the Trustee (or refunded to the Corporation) under Sections
2.01(b) and (c) hereof and no later than fifteen (15) business days following
the occurrence of any event requiring a modification of the Payment Schedule.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make payments to the
Executives and Participants in accordance with such Payment Schedules.
(c) The Trustee shall be permitted to withhold
from any payment due to an Executive or Participant hereunder the amount
required by law to be so withheld under federal, state and local wage
withholding requirements or otherwise, and shall pay over to the appropriate
government authority the amounts so withheld. The Trustee may rely on
instructions from the Corporation as to any required withholding and shall be
fully protected under Section 5.01(g) hereof in relying upon such instructions.
If the Corporation fails to timely instruct the Trustee as to any required
withholding, the Trustee shall withhold such amounts as required by applicable
law to be so
15
16
withheld, and shall pay over to the appropriate government authority the
amounts so withheld.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the
event of any final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of
competent jurisdiction in any case or proceeding in which the Corporation is a
principal party, which determination is not appealable or the time for appeal
or protest of which has expired, or a substantially unqualified opinion of tax
counsel selected by the Trustee, which determination determines or opinion
opines that the Executives and Participants or any particular Executive or
Participant are subject to federal income taxation on amounts held in Trust
hereunder prior to the distribution of such amounts to the Executives and
Participants or Executive or Participant, the Trustee shall, on receipt by the
Trustee of (i) notice of such determination or (ii) such opinion of counsel,
pay to each affected Executive or Participant the portion of the Trust Corpus
includable in such Executive's or Participant's federal gross income.
(e) If, subsequent to a Change in Control of the
Corporation, a dispute arises regarding the interpretation or enforcement of
this Trust or the payment of benefits under any Plan, all of the legal fees and
expenses incurred by the Executives or Participants in successfully enforcing
any right or benefit provided for in this Trust or a Plan or in otherwise
successfully pursuing their claims under the Trust or Plans will be paid by the
Corporation to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 4.03 Deliveries to Creditors of the Corporation. It
is the intent of the parties hereto that the Trust Corpus is and shall remain
at all times subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Corporation.
Accordingly, the Corporation shall not create a security interest in the Trust
Corpus in favor of the Executives, Participants or any creditor. If the Trustee
receives the notice provided for in Section 4.04 hereof, or otherwise receives
actual notice that the Corporation is insolvent or bankrupt as defined in
Section 4.04 hereof, the Trustee shall make no further distributions of the
Trust Corpus to any of the Executives or Participants but shall deliver the
entire amount of the Trust Corpus only as a court of competent jurisdiction, or
duly appointed receiver or other person authorized to act by such a court, may
direct to make the Trust Corpus available to satisfy the claims of the
Corporation's general creditors. The Trustee shall resume distribution of
Trust Corpus to the Executives and Participants under the terms hereof, upon no
less than thirty (30) days' advance notice to the Corporation, if it determines
that the Corporation was not, or is no longer, bankrupt or insolvent. Unless
the Trustee in its Trust Department has actual knowledge of the Corporation's
bankruptcy or insolvency, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the
Corporation is bankrupt or insolvent.
SECTION 4.04 Notification of Bankruptcy or Insolvency. The
Corporation, through its Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, shall
advise the Trustee promptly in writing of the Corporation's bankruptcy or
insolvency. The Corporation
17
18
shall be deemed to be bankrupt or insolvent upon the occurrence of any of the
following:
(i) The Corporation shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a petition in
bankruptcy, petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, or any trustee for it
or a substantial part of its assets, or shall commence any case under
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt,
dissolution, or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction
(federal or state), whether now or hereafter in effect; or if there
shall have been filed any such petition or application, or any such
case shall have been commenced against it, in which an order for
relief is entered or which remains undismissed; or the Corporation by
any act or omission shall indicate its consent to, approval of or
acquiescence in any such petition, application or case or order for
relief or to the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee
for it or any substantial part of any of its property, or shall suffer
any such custodianship, receivership, or trusteeship to continue
undischarged; or
(ii) The Corporation shall generally not
pay its debts as such debts become due or shall cease to pay its debts in the
ordinary course of business.

ARTICLE V
TRUSTEE
SECTION 5.01 Trustee. (a) The duties and responsibilities
of the Trustee shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Trust, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Trust against the
Trustee.
(b) If all or any part of the Trust Corpus is at
any time attached, garnished, or levied upon by any court order, or in case the
payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property
shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment
or decree shall be made or entered by a court affecting such property or any
part thereof, then and in any of such events the Trustee is authorized, in its
sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or
decree, and it shall not be liable to the Corporation (or any of its
subsidiaries) for any Executive or Participant by reason of such compliance
even though such order, writ, judgment or decree subsequently may be reversed,
modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
(c) The Trustee shall maintain such books,
records and accounts as may be necessary for the proper administration of the
Trust Corpus, including without limitation, as provided in Section 2.01 hereof,
and shall render to the Corporation, on or prior to each January 31, following
the date of this Trust until the termination of this Trust (and on the date of
such termination), an accounting with respect to the
19
20
Trust Corpus as of the end of the then most recent calendar year (and as of the
date of such termination).
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any act
taken or omitted to be taken hereunder if taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith. The Trustee shall also be fully protected in relying upon any
notice given hereunder which it in good faith believes to be genuine and
executed and delivered in accordance with this Trust.
(e) The Trustee may consult with legal counsel to
be selected by it, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
(f) The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the
Corporation for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of its duties hereunder and shall be paid reasonable fees (as
outlined in the attached Fee Schedule) for the performance of such duties in
the manner provided by Section 2.02(c) hereof and paragraph (g) of this Section
5.01.
(g) The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trustee from and against any and all damages, losses, claims or
expenses as incurred (including expenses of investigation and fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Trustee and any taxes imposed on the Trust
Corpus or income of the Trust) arising out of or in connection with the
performance by the Trustee of its duties hereunder. Any amount payable to the
Trustee under paragraph (f) of this Section 5.01 or this paragraph (g) and not
previously paid by the Corporation pursuant
20
21
to Section 2.02(c) hereof shall be paid by the Corporation promptly upon demand
therefor by the Trustee or, if not paid within thirty (30) days of such demand,
from the Trust Corpus. In the event that payment is made hereunder to the
Trustee from the Trust Corpus, the Trustee shall promptly notify the
Corporation in writing of the amount of such payment. The Corporation agrees
that, upon receipt of such notice, it will deliver to the Trustee to be held in
the Trust an amount in cash (or in marketable securities or in some
combinations thereof) equal to any payments made from the Trust Corpus to the
Trustee pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 5.01 or this paragraph (g).
The failure of the Corporation to transfer any such amount shall not in any way
impair the Trustee's right to indemnification, reimbursement and payment
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 5.01 or this paragraph (g).
SECTION 5.02 Successor Trustee. The Trustee may resign and
be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving notice in writing
of such resignation to the Corporation and each Executive and Participant
specifying a date (not less than thirty (30) days after the giving of such
notice) when such resignation shall take effect. Promptly after such notice,
the Corporation shall appoint a successor trustee, such trustee to become
Trustee hereunder upon the resignation date specified in such notice; provided,
however, that, if a Change in Control shall previously have occurred, such
appointment must be approved in writing by at least sixty-five percent (65%) of
all Executives whose benefits under the Agreements have not been paid in full
21
22
(the "Required Executives") and by at least sixty five percent (65%) of all
Participants whose benefits under the Plans have not been paid in full (the
"Required Participants"). If the Corporation is unable to appoint a successor
trustee or if a Change in Control shall have previously occurred, and the
Required Executives and Required Participants fail to approve a successor
trustee within thirty (30) business days after such notice, the Trustee shall
be entitled, at the expense of the Corporation, to petition a United States
District Court or any of the courts of the State of California having
jurisdiction to appoint its successor. The Trustee shall continue to serve
until its successor accepts the trust and receives delivery of the Trust
Corpus. The Corporation (or, if a Change in Control shall previously have
occurred, the Corporation with the written approval of the Required Executives
and Required Participants) may at any time substitute a new trustee by giving
fifteen (15) business days notice thereof to the Trustee then acting. In the
event of such removal or resignation, the Trustee shall duly file with the
Corporation and, if such removal or resignation occurs on and after a Change in
Control, shall mail or otherwise deliver to the Executives and Participants a
written statement or statements of accounts and proceedings as provided in
Section 5.01(c) hereof for the period since the last previous annual accounting
of the Trust, and if written objections to such accounts are not filed with the
Trustee within thirty (30) business days following the date such statements are
filed with the Corporation or mailed or otherwise delivered to the
22
23
Executives and Participants, if required, the Trustee shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, be forever released and discharged from all
liability and accountability with respect to the propriety of its acts and
transactions shown in such account. The Trustee and any successor thereto
appointed hereunder shall be a commercial bank which is not an affiliate of the
Corporation, but which is a national banking association or established under
the laws of one of the states of the United States, and which has equity in
excess of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000).

Executives and Participants pursuant to the Agreements and Plans; or (iii) the

Trust to decrease the Required Funding Amount and no amendment relating to this
Trust may be made with respect to a particular Executive or Participant unless
such Executive or Participant has agreed in writing to such amendment; except
that the Corporation may add one or more Executives to Exhibit I or one or more
Plans to Exhibit II without the written consent of the affected Executives and
Participants, in which event the Corporation shall be required to make
additional contributions to the Trust on behalf of such additional Executives
or Plans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01. The parties hereto
may at any time waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions
contained herein. No such waiver relating to this Trust may be made with
respect to a particular Executive or Participant unless such Executive or
Participant has agreed in writing to such waiver. Any agreement on the part of
a party hereto, an Executive or a Participant to any such waiver shall be valid
if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party,
Executive or Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or
waiver may be made by written agreement of the parties hereto without obtaining
the consent of the Executives or Participants if such amendment or waiver does
not adversely affect the rights of the Executives or Participants hereunder.

(a) All payments from the Trust to Participants (or their
Beneficiaries) shall be made by the Trustee in such manner, at such
times and in such amounts as the Committee shall direct, and the

the meaning of Section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and all interest and cash dividends earned on
the investment of Trust assets shall be the property of the Company
and shall not constitute a part of the Trust assets. The interest and

practicable after the end of each calendar year. Shares

12
obtained due to stock dividends or stock splits shall be held as Trust
assets until distribution or other disposition is directed by the
Committee.
(b) In the event that a Participant directs that amounts
credited to his Stock Account be transferred to his Cash Account, the
Committee shall direct the Trustee to sell that number of shares of
Stock which is equal to the number of shares to be transferred from
the Participant's Stock Account to his Cash Account and to distribute
the proceeds of such sale to the Company.

Participants or any creditor. If the Trustee receives the notice
provided
9
13
for in Section 6.3(b) hereof, or otherwise receives actual notice
provided for in Section 6.3(b) hereof, the Trustee shall make no
further distributions of the Trust Corpus to any of the Participants
but shall deliver the entire amount of the Trust assets only as a
court of competent jurisdiction, or duly appointed receiver or other
person authorized to act by such a court, may direct to make the Trust
assets available to satisfy the claims of the Company's general
creditors. The Trustee shall resume distribution of Trust assets to
the Participants under the terms hereof, upon no less than thirty (30)
days' advance notice to the Company, if it determines that the Company
was not, or is no longer, bankrupt or insolvent. Unless the Trustee
in its Trust Department has actual knowledge of the Company's
bankruptcy or insolvency the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire
whether the Company is bankrupt or insolvent.
(b) Notification of Bankruptcy or Insolvency. The
Company, through its Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer,
shall advise the Trustee promptly in writing of the Company's
bankruptcy or insolvency. The Company shall be deemed to be bankrupt
or insolvent upon the occurrence of any of the following:

the benefit of creditors, file a petition in bankruptcy,
10
14
petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, or any trustee
for it or a substantial part of its assets, or shall commence
any case under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, dissolution, or liquidation law or
statute of any jurisdiction (federal or state), whether now or
hereafter in effect; or if there shall have been filed any
such petition or application, or any such case shall have been
commenced against it, in which an order for relief is entered
or which remains undismissed; or the Company by any act or
omission shall indicate its consent to, approval of or
acquiescence in any such petition, application or case or
order for relief or to the appointment of a custodian,
receiver or any trustee for it or any substantial part of any
of its property, or shall suffer any such custodianship,
receivership, or trusteeship to continue undischarged; or
(ii) The Company shall generally not pay its
debts as such debts become due or shall cease to pay its debts
in the ordinary course of business.
6.4 - Trustee Expenses.
The Trustee shall be paid reasonable fees (as outlined in the
attached Fee Schedule) and shall be reimbursed for its
11
15
reasonable expenses that are necessary and incident to the administration of
the Trust. Such expenses shall include counsel fees, if any, incurred by
Trustee for the purpose of determining its responsibilities under the Trust.
All such expenses and fees shall be paid to the Trustee, or to a third party on
behalf of the Trustee, directly by the Company and not from the assets of the
Trust.
6.5 - Committee Expenses.
Expenses and fees of the Committee or Company for the
administration of the Plan and services in relation thereto for legal and
accounting and other similar expenses shall be paid by the Company and not from
the assets of the Trust.
6.6 - Taxes.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any real and personal
property taxes, income taxes and other taxes of any kind levied or assessed
under existing or future laws against the Trust assets. Such taxes shall be
paid directly by the Company and not from the assets of the Trust.
6.7 - Alienation.
The benefits, proceeds, payments or claims of Participants (or
their Beneficiaries) payable from the Trust
12
16
assets shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or
levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary. Any attempt to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, garnish, levy or otherwise
dispose of or execute upon any right or benefits payable hereunder shall be
void. The Trust assets shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the
debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any Participant (or

(a) To hold, invest and reinvest the principal or income
of the Trust in stock as described in Section 5.1;
(b) To make payments as directed by the Committee;
(c) To cause property of the Trust to be issued, held or
registered in the name of the Trustee or in the name of its nominee,

in such form that title will pass by delivery, provided the records of
the Trustee shall at all times indicate the true ownership of such
property;
(d) To independently vote the Stock held by the Trustee;
and
(e) Generally, to do all such acts, execute all such
instruments, take all such proceedings, and exercise all such rights
and privileges with relation to the property
14
18
constituting the Trust as if the Trustee were the absolute owner
thereof.
In addition to the above powers, the Trustee shall have such
additional powers as may now or hereafter be conferred upon the Trustee by law
or as may be necessary to enable the Trustee to administer this Trust in
accordance with the provisions of this Trust and the Plan, subject to the
direction of the Committee and any limitation thereof that may be provided for
herein.
7.2 - Tender Offers.
(a) Application. In the event of any transaction which
is evidenced by the filing of a Statement on Schedule 14D-1 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or in the event of any other
similar transaction (a "Tender Offer"), then, notwithstanding any
provision of the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of
this Section 7.2 shall apply.
(b) Special Provisions. In the event of a Tender Offer,
the Committee shall seek confidential written instructions from each
Participant as to whether the Stock allocated to the Participant's
Stock Account under the Plan should be tendered. If a Participant
does not submit instructions to the Committee, the Participant shall
be
15
19
deemed to have elected not to have the shares credited to such
Participant's Stock Account tendered. The Committee shall instruct
the Trustee whether or not to tender shares of Stock, and the number
of shares of Stock, if any, to be tendered in accordance with the
Participants' elections.
7.3 - Records and Reports.
(a) The Trustee shall keep and maintain such accounts and
records as it shall deem necessary and proper to record each of its
transactions with respect to the administration of the Trust and
permit inspection of such account, records, and assets of the Trust by
a duly authorized representative of the Company or the Committee at
any time during usual business hours.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time following the
close of each Plan Year, and at such other times as may be requested
by the Committee, the Trustee shall file with the Committee a written
report containing a valuation of the assets of the Trust (at both
their book and fair market value as of the close of the Plan Year) and
such other information as is requested by the Committee with respect
to the transactions effected by the Trustee during such Plan Year or
other period.
16
20
(c) The Trustee shall make such periodic or special
reports to the Committee as the Trustee shall deem necessary and
proper or as the Committee may reasonably request.
(d) The Committee shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of its approval or disapproval of the Trustee's written
report. The Committee's failure to disapprove the report within sixty
days after its receipt shall be considered an approval. The approval
shall be binding as to all matters embraced in this statement to the
same extent as if the account of the Trustee had been settled by
judgement or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction under which
the Trustee and all persons having or claiming any interest in the
Trust were parties; provided, however, that the Trustee may have its
account judicially settled if so desired. The Company shall not be
liable to any person for approving, disapproving or failing to approve
any statement of account rendered by the Trustee.

A third person dealing with the Trustee shall not be required
to make any inquiry as to whether the Company or the Committee has instructed
the Trustee, or the Trustee is otherwise authorized, to take or omit any
action, and shall not be required to follow the application by the Trustee of
any money or property which may be paid or delivered to the Trustee.

absence of proper directions hereunder, or in accordance with any
directions, purported or real, from the Company, whether or not proper
hereunder, if relied upon in good faith by the Trustee.

The Trustee may be removed by the Committee at any time by
delivery of written notice of such action to the Trustee. The Trustee may
resign at any time by delivering to the Committee a written notice of
resignation, to take effect on a date specified therein, which shall be not
less than 30 days after the delivery thereof, unless such notice shall be
waived by the Company. Within 30 days after such removal or resignation of the
Trustee, the Trustee shall file with the Committee a written report and account
containing information similar to that required to be set forth in the annual
report provided for herein.
9.2 - Successor Trustee.
Upon removal or resignation of the Trustee, the Committee
shall designate a successor Trustee to act hereunder, which shall have the same
powers and duties as those conferred upon the Trustee. Upon such designation,

23
ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
10.1 - Amendment.
The Committee shall have the right to amend (but not
terminate) the Trust from time to time and to amend further or cancel any such
amendment. Any amendment shall be stated in an instrument in writing executed
by the Company and Trustee, and this Trust Agreement shall be amended in the
manner and at the time therein set forth, and the Company and Trustee shall be
bound thereby; provided, however:
(a) No amendment shall have any retroactive effect so as
to deprive any Participant of any benefit already accrued or create a
reversion of Trust assets to the Company except as already provided in
this Trust Agreement, other than such changes, if any, as may be
required in order for the Trust to be considered a component of an
unfunded deferred compensation plan;
(b) No amendment shall make the Trust revocable and;
(c) No amendment shall increase the duties or liabilities
of the Trustee without its consent.
20
24
10.2 - Duration and Termination.
This Trust shall not be revocable and shall continue until the
earliest of (a) the accomplishment of the purpose for which it was created, (b)
the exhaustion of all appeals of a final determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction that the interest in the Trust of Participants is includable for
federal income tax purposes in their gross income without such determination
having been reversed (or the earlier expiration of the time to appeal), (c) if
required to comply with California rules regulating the maximum length for
which trusts may be established, the expiration of twenty years and six months
after the death of the last surviving Participant who is living and is a
Participant on the date this Trust is established, (d) a determination of the
Board of Directors to terminate the Trust because the applicable law requires
it to be amended in a way that could make it taxable as a separate entity and
failure to so amend the Trust would subject the Company to material penalties,
or (e) a determination of the Board of Directors to terminate the Trust because
the Board of Directors concludes, after consulting with legal counsel, that
judicial authority or the opinion of the U.S. Department of Treasury (as
expressed in its proposed or final regulations, revenue rulings, private letter
rulings, notices, or similar administrative announcements) creates a
significant possibility that the Trust will not be considered a component of an
unfunded deferred compensation plan.
21
25
10.3 - Distribution Upon Termination.
Upon termination of this Trust, the Trustee shall liquidate
the Trust Fund and, after its final account has been settled as provided in
Section 7.3, shall distribute the net balance thereof to the Company. Upon
making such distribution, the Trustee shall be relieved from all further
liability. The powers of the Trustee hereunder shall continue so long as any
assets of the Trust fund remain in its hands.

EXHIBIT 10.35
TRUST AGREEMENT
TRUST AGREEMENT made this 22nd day of December, 1994, by and
between Lockheed Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware ("Company") and J. P. Morgan California, a
California chartered trust company ("Trustee");
WHEREAS, Company has adopted the nonqualified deferred
compensation plans and other contractual arrangements as listed in Appendix A
(hereinafter called the "Plans");
WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects to incur liability
under the terms of such Plans with respect to the individuals participating in
such Plans;
WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter
called the "Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held
therein, subject to the claims of Company's creditors in the event of Company's
Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and their
beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plans;
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust
shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and, to the extent applicable, shall
not affect the status of the Plans as unfunded plans maintained for the purpose
of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (hereinafter called "ERISA");
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company to make contributions
to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the
meeting of its liabilities under the Plans;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and
agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST.
(a) Company hereby deposits with Trustee in trust the
cash and/or property shown on Appendix B, which shall become the principal of
the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in
this Trust Agreement.
(b) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
2
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which
Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J,
chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
shall be construed accordingly.
(d) The principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon
shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used
exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants and their
beneficiaries and Company's general creditors as herein set forth. Plan
participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any
beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created
under the Plans and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual
rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against Company. Any
assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company's general
creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in
Section 3(a) herein.
(e) Company shall make additional irrevocable
contributions to the Trust of cash or other property acceptable to Trustee
pursuant to any applicable terms of the Plans. In addition, Company, in its
sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional
irrevocable contributions of cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee.
Such additional contribution shall augment the principal to be held,
administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(f) Upon a Potential Change in Control of Company (as
defined in Section 13(f) below), Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days following such Potential Change in Control,
(1) deliver to Trustee a Payment Schedule (as defined in Section 2(a) below)
for each of the Plans indicating the benefits which would be payable if a
Change in Control of Company (as defined in Section 13(g) below) had occurred
on the date of the Potential Change in Control and (2) make an irrevocable
contribution to the Trust of cash or other property acceptable to Trustee that
is sufficient, when added to the then principal of the Trust, to pay each Plan
participant or beneficiary the benefits to which Plan participants or their
beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plans if a Change
in Control of Company had occurred on the date of the Potential Change in
Control of Company.
(g) Upon a Change of Control of Company (as defined in
Section 13(g) below), Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event later
than ten (10) days following such Change of Control, (1) deliver to Trustee a
Payment Schedule (as defined in Section 2(a) below) for each of the Plans
indicating the benefits which are payable as of the date of such Change in
Control and
2
3
(2) make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust of cash or other property
acceptable to Trustee that is sufficient, when added to the then principal of
the Trust, to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary the benefits to which
Plan participants or their beneficiaries are entitled pursuant to the terms of
the Plans as of the date on which the Change of Control occurred.
SECTION 2. PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR
BENEFICIARIES.
(a) From time to time Company or such party as it shall
designate in writing to Trustee shall deliver to Trustee a schedule or
schedules (each, a "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable and
applicable withholding taxes in respect of each Plan participant (and his or
her beneficiaries), or that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable
to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such
amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plans), and the
time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Trustee shall make payments to the Plan participants and their
beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. Trustee shall deduct
from any such payments any withholding taxes which Company has determined apply
and remit such withholding taxes to Company. Company shall be responsible for
payment and reporting of such withholding taxes to the appropriate taxing
authorities.
(b) The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her
beneficiaries to benefits under the Plans shall be determined by Company or
such party as it shall designate under the Plans, and any claim for such
benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the
Plans. Under no circumstances shall Trustee have any duty to determine any
person's payment rights or other entitlements under the Plans.
(c) Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the
Plans. Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of
benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants or
their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any
earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance
with the terms of the Plans, as reflected on a Payment Schedule, Company shall
make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify
Company where principal and earnings of the Trust are not sufficient to make
any such payments.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2
to the contrary, Company has contracted with a third-party (a "Third Party
Payor") for each Plan, as indicated in Appendix A,
3
4
to pay benefits to participants and beneficiaries under that Plan.
Accordingly, from time to time, Company or such party as it shall designate in
writing to Trustee shall deliver to Trustee a Payment Schedule with
instructions to pay the amounts described therein to the appropriate Third
Party Payor(s). Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make
payments to the Third Party Payor(s) in accordance with such Payment Schedule
and such instructions, which Payment Schedule and instructions shall provide
whether (1) Trustee shall pay to the Third Party Payor the gross amount payable
to Plan participants and beneficiaries, with the Third Party Payor responsible
for withholding any applicable withholding taxes and reporting and remitting
such withholding taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities or (2) Trustee
shall pay to the Third Party Payor the amount of benefits net of withholding
taxes (as set forth in the Payment Schedule) and pay to Company the amount of
the withholding taxes, with Company responsible for reporting and remitting to
the appropriate taxing authorities. If any financial institution that has been
designated a Third Party Payor for a particular Plan for any reason ceases to
act as Third Party Payor for that Plan, Company shall designate a successor
Third Party Payor and provide Trustee with written notice of such designation,
or, if Company fails to make such a designation within thirty (30) days after
the date on which such Third Party Payor ceases to so act, Trustee may
designate a successor Third Party Payor. Any successor Third Party Payor
designated by the Trustee shall be a bank or trust company qualified and
authorized to do trust business in the State of California and having on the
date of designation combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at
least $1,000,000,000 or total assets of at least $10,000,000,000. The
provisions of Section 2(a) shall apply to benefits payable under a Plan at any
time that there is no designated Third Party Payor for such Plan.
SECTION 3. TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO TRUST
BENEFICIARY WHEN COMPANY IS INSOLVENT.
(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan
participants and their beneficiaries or the Third Party Payor(s) if the Company
is Insolvent. Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this
Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due,
or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United
States Bankruptcy Code.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as
provided in Section 1(d) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be
subject to claims of general creditors of Company under federal and state law
as set forth below.
(1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive
Officer of Company shall have the duty to inform
Trustee in
4
5
writing of Company's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a
creditor of Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company has
become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Company is Insolvent
and, pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of
benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries.
(2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's
Insolvency, or has received notice from Company or a person claiming
to be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall
have no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent. Trustee may in
all events rely on such evidence concerning Company's solvency as may
be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable
basis for making a determination concerning Company's solvency.
(3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is
Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan participants or
their beneficiaries or the Third Party Payor(s) and shall hold the
assets of the Trust for the benefit of Company's general creditors.
Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights
of Plan participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as
general creditors of Company with respect to benefits due under the
Plans or otherwise.
(4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries or the Third Party Payor(s) in
accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee
has determined that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer
Insolvent).
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee
discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b)
hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plans, or the Third
Party Payor(s) pursuant to the Payment Schedule, for the period of such
discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries or the Third Party Payor(s) by Company in
lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of
discontinuance.
SECTION 4. PAYMENTS TO COMPANY.
Except as provided in Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, Company
shall have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to Company or to
divert to others any of the Trust assets before all payment of benefits have
been made to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of
the Plans.
5
6
SECTION 5. INVESTMENT AUTHORITY.
(a) Trustee shall have full investment authority with
respect to the Trust assets, subject to the right of Company to designate in
writing a general investment policy with respect to Trust assets which policy
may be amended from time to time in Company's sole discretion. Subject to any
such general investment policy, Trustee may invest and reinvest in and acquire
by purchase, exchange or otherwise property of any character whatsoever,
foreign or domestic, or interests or participations therein. Without limiting
the foregoing, but subject to any such general investment policy, Trustee (1)
shall have the powers regarding Trust investments set forth in California
Probate Code Sections 16223 through 16225 as such provisions existed on the
date of execution of this instrument, and (2) shall have the power to invest in
(i) common or collective trust funds advised or managed by Trustee or an
affiliate of Trustee, and (ii) shares of or interests in any mutual fund or any
investment company for which Trustee or an affiliate of Trustee performs
investment advisory, custody, distribution, management or other services.
Company recognizes that allocation by Trustee of Trust assets
among such funds or companies may affect the compensation of Trustee or such
affiliate with respect to such funds or companies. Trustee's compensation as
provided for in Section 9 hereof shall not be reduced by the compensation, if
any, with respect to such funds or companies received by Trustee or such
affiliate. Company specifically waives any rule of undivided loyalty or any
other conflict of interest with respect to such investment.
(b) Subject to the Company's written general investment
policy, Trustee is authorized to exercise from time to time in its sole
discretion the following powers in respect of any property of the Trust, it
being intended that these powers be construed in the broadest possible manner:
(1) Power to sell at public or private sale for cash and
upon such terms and conditions as it shall deem proper. No purchaser
shall be bound to see to or be liable for the application of the
proceeds of any such sale.
(2) Power to exchange any securities or property held by
it for other securities or property, or partly for such securities or
property and partly for cash, and to exercise conversion,
subscription, option and similar rights with respect to any securities
held by it, and to make payments in connection therewith.
(3) Power to vote in person or by proxy at corporate or
other meetings and to participate in or consent to any voting trust,
reorganization, dissolution, merger or other action affecting any
securities in its possession or the
6
7
issuers thereof, and to make payments in connection therewith.
(4) Power to compromise and adjust all debts or claims
due to or made against it.
(5) In the acquisition, disposition and management of
investments for or under the trust, power to acquire and hold any
securities or other property even though Trustee in its individual or
any other capacity, shall have invested or may thereafter invest its
or their own or other funds in the same securities or related property
or related securities or other property the interest, principal or
other avails of which may be payable at different rates or different
times or may have a different rank or priority; and to acquire and
hold any securities or other property even though in connection
therewith Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
receive compensation reasonably and customarily due in the course of
its or their regular activities.
(6) Power to acquire, hold or dispose of property in its
name without designation of fiduciary capacity, or in the name of its
nominee, to deposit any property with any custodian, or in a
depository, clearing corporation or any central system for handling of
investments, or any nominee thereof.
(7) Power to employ from time to time counsel and
suitable agents, including custodians, accountants, brokers and
appraisers, including any affiliate of Trustee.
(8) Power to do all acts which it may deem necessary or
proper and to exercise any and all powers of Trustee under this Trust
Agreement under such terms and conditions as it may deem to be for the
best interest of the Trust.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Trustee shall not
have the powers set forth in Sections 16226, 16228 through 16233, 16241 and
16244 of the California Probate Code as in effect on the effective date of this
Trust Agreement.
(c) In no event may Trustee invest in securities
(including stock or rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by Company
or Parent Company (as defined in Section 13(f)(2) below), other than a de
minimis amount held in common investment vehicles in which Trustee invests.
All rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or
the person designed by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest
with Plan participants.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Company shall have the right, at any time, and from
7
8
time to time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets, other than Company
stock or stock of Parent Company (as defined in Section 13(f)(2) below), of
equal fair market value for any asset held by the Trust.
(e)(1) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, at any time, Company may, by a writing delivered to Trustee, delegate
investment authority, management and control of Trust assets to one or more
Investment Managers (as defined in section 5(e)(4) below) appointed by Company.
Where Company has specifically delegated investment authority, management and
control of Trust assets, Trustee shall continue to be the sole custodian of the
Trust assets but shall not be the fiduciary with respect to the investment,
management and control of the Trust assets and shall exercise the investment,
management and control of such assets subject to the direction by any
Investment Manager appointed by Company, and in such case such Investment
Manager shall be the fiduciary with respect to the investment, management and
control of such assets. The appointment, selection and retention of any
Investment Manager shall be solely the responsibility of Company. Trustee is
authorized and entitled to rely upon the fact that said Investment Manager is
authorized to direct the investment and management of the assets of the Trust
until such time as Company shall notify Trustee in writing that another
Investment Manager has been appointed in the place and stead of the Investment
Manager named or, in the alternative, that the Investment Manager named has
been removed and the responsibility for the investment and management of the
Trust assets has been transferred back to Trustee, as the case may be.
(2) Trustee shall not be liable nor responsible for
losses or unfavorable results arising from Trustee's compliance with any
directions of an Investment Manager appointed by Company which are made in
accordance with the terms of the Trust. Trustee shall be under no duty to
question any directions of the Investment Manager nor to review any securities
or other property of the Trust constituting assets thereof with respect to
which an Investment Manager has investment responsibility, nor to make any
suggestions to such Investment Manager in connection therewith. Trustee shall,
as promptly as possible, comply with any written directions given by an
Investment Manager. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust,
however, Trustee, in its sole discretion, may refuse to comply with any
directions which Trustee deems to be improper or contrary to the provisions of
the Trust and any applicable federal or state statutes. Trustee shall not be
liable for the making or retention of any investment pursuant to such
investment directions or for its failure to invest any or all of the Trust
funds in the absence of such written directions.
(3) All directions concerning investments made by the
Investment Manager shall be signed by such person or persons, acting on behalf
of the Investment Manager as may be duly
8
9
authorized in writing pursuant to this Trust; provided, however that the
transmission to Trustee of such directions by photostatic teletransmission with
duplicate or facsimile signature or signatures shall be considered a delivery
in writing of the aforesaid directions until Trustee is notified in writing by
Company that the use of such devices with duplicate or facsimile signatures is
no longer authorized. Trustee shall be authorized to accept telephonic
directions provided that such directions are promptly confirmed to Trustee in
writing.
(4) For purposes of this Trust Agreement, "Investment
Manager" shall mean a fiduciary (i) who (A) is registered as an investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (B) is a bank, as defined in
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or (C) is an insurance company qualified to
perform investment advisory services under the laws of more than one state, and
(ii) who has agreed to abide by a written general investment policy established
by Company with respect to the Trust assets to be managed by such Investment
Manager.
SECTION 6. DISPOSITION OF INCOME.
During the term of this Trust, all income received by the
Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested and added
to principal.
SECTION 7. ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEE.
Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all
investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be
made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing
between Company and Trustee. Within 90 days following the close of each
calendar quarter and within 90 days after the removal or resignation of
Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Company a written account of its
administration of the Trust during such quarter or during the period from the
close of the last preceding quarter to the date of such removal or resignation,
setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions
effected by it, including a description of all securities and investments
purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales
(accrued interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all
cash, securities and other property held in the Trust at the end of such
quarter or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be.
The Company may approve such account by an instrument in
writing delivered to Trustee. In the absence of Company's filing with Trustee
objections to any such account within one hundred eighty (180) days after its
receipt, Company shall be deemed to have so approved such account. In such
case, or upon
9
10
the written approval by Company of any such account, Trustee shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be discharged from all liability to Company
for its acts or failures to act described by such account, and Company shall
thereafter reimburse, indemnify (as provided in Section 8(b) hereof) and hold
harmless Trustee, individually and as Trustee, of, from and against any and all
expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any kind
or nature whatsoever in respect of its acts, omissions, transactions, duties,
obligations or responsibilities as Trustee during the period covered by such
account. The foregoing, however, shall not preclude the Trustee from having
its account settled by a court of competent jurisdiction. Company shall not be
liable to any person for approving, disapproving or failing to approve any
statement of account rendered by Trustee.
SECTION 8. RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE.
(a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence, and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that prudent persons acting
in a like fiduciary capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims to accomplish the
purposes of the Trust as determined from the Trust instrument.
Similarly, when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring,
exchanging, selling, and managing Trust property, the Trustee shall act with
the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and
the anticipated needs of the Trust and its beneficiaries, that prudent persons
acting in a like fiduciary capacity and familiar with such matters would use in
the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims to accomplish
the purposes of the Trust as determined from the Trust instrument. In the
course of administering the Trust pursuant to this standard, individual
investments shall be considered as part of an overall investment strategy.
(b) Trustee shall have no duty to make an independent
investigation as to any matters relating to the Plans, and shall be entitled to
rely on the determinations of the Company as to all such matters. Company
shall notify Trustee in writing of the occurrence of a Potential Change in
Control or Change in Control. Trustee may rely on such written notice and
Company's determination shall be binding upon Trustee and the Plan participants
and their beneficiaries.
Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action
taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Company which is
contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plans or this Trust
Agreement. Except as otherwise
10
11
provided in this Trust Agreement, the Trustee may act upon any instruction,
whether written, oral, telephonic, cable or telex, which purports to have come
from Company or its designees, without responsibility for errors in delivery,
transmission or receipt provided that the Trustee in good faith has determined
that there is no reason to believe that such instruction, on its face, is
invalid.
Trustee is authorized, but not required, to take any action it
believes appropriate if it is unable in due time to obtain instructions from
Company or if such action is determined by it to be required by law.
In the event of a dispute between Company and any party,
Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.
(c) Company hereby indemnifies Trustee against losses,
liabilities, claims, costs and expenses in connection with the administration
of the Trust, unless resulting from the negligence or misconduct of Trustee.
If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this
Trust, Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses
and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses)
relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.
(d) Without limiting the authorities granted under
Section 5, Trustee may employ and consult with legal counsel (who may also be
counsel for Company generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations
hereunder and may employ agents, including accountants and other professionals,
to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder and
Company shall pay the costs of any counsel or agent so employed (excluding any
employees of Trustee).
(e) Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers
conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise
herein, provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of
the Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy
other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the
policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to
any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.
(f) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee
pursuant to this Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have
any power that could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business
and dividing the gains therefrom, within the meaning of section 301.7701-2 of
the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Internal Revenue Code.
11
12
SECTION 9. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE.
The Trustee's compensation shall be as agreed in writing from
time to time by Company and Trustee. Company shall pay all administrative and
Trustee's fees and expenses. If Company does not pay any fees, expenses,
liabilities or costs payable by Company under the terms of this Trust Agreement
in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust.
SECTION 10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE.
(a) Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to
Company, which shall be effective 60 days after receipt of such notice unless
Company and Trustee agree otherwise.
(b) Trustee may be removed by Company on 60 days' written
notice or upon shorter notice accepted by Trustee.
(c) If Trustee resigns or is removed within five years of
a Change of Control, as defined herein, Trustee shall select a successor
Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(b) hereof prior to the
effective date of Trustee's resignation or removal.
(d) Upon resignation or removal of Trustee and
appointment of a successor Trustee, all assets of the Trust shall subsequently
be transferred to the successor Trustee. Such transfer shall be completed
within 60 days after receipt of written notice of such resignation, removal or
transfer, unless Company extends the time limit; provided that Trustee shall
not be required to effect such transfer until it has been released as provided
in Section 7 hereof.
(e) If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall
be appointed, in accordance with Section 11 hereof, by the effective date of
resignation or removal under paragraph (a) or (b) of this section. If no such
appointment has been timely made, Trustee may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for instructions. All expenses
of Trustee in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as administrative
expenses of the Trust.
SECTION 11. APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) If Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with
Section 10(a) or (b) hereof, Company may appoint any third party, such as a
bank trust department or other party that may be granted corporate trustee
powers under state law, as a successor to replace Trustee upon resignation or
removal. The appointment shall be effective when accepted in writing by the
new Trustee,
12
13
who shall have all of the rights and powers of the former Trustee, including
ownership rights in the Trust assets. Subject to the provisions of Section
10(d), the former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably
requested by Company or the successor Trustee to evidence the transfer.
(b) If Trustee resigns or is removed pursuant to the
provisions of Section 10(c) hereof and selects a successor Trustee, Trustee may
appoint any third party such as a bank trust department or other party that may
be granted corporate trustee powers under state law. The appointment of a
successor Trustee shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new
Trustee. The new Trustee shall have all rights and powers of the former
Trustee including ownership rights in Trust assets. Subject to the provisions
of Section 10(d), the former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or
reasonably required by the successor Trustee to evidence the transfer.
SECTION 12. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.
(a) This Trust Agreement may be amended by a written
instrument executed by Trustee and Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
such amendment shall (1) conflict with the terms of the Plans, (2) give Plan
participants any greater rights in Trust assets than rights as general
creditors, (3) amend Section 5(c) of this Trust Agreement, (4) add any
additional plans to those listed in Appendix A as plans for which benefits may
be paid from the assets of the Trust, (5) allow Company to borrow funds from
the Trust, (6) make the Trust revocable, or (7) amend this Section 12(a).
(b) The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which
Plan participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits
pursuant to the terms of the Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust
shall terminate upon the earlier of (1) the exhaustion of the assets of the
Trust or (2) the exhaustion of all appeals of (or the earlier expiration of the
time to appeal) a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that
the Trust is not or has ceased to be a grantor trust as described in Section
1(c) hereof. Upon termination of the Trust any assets remaining in the Trust
shall be returned to Company.
(c) Upon receipt by Company of written approval by all
participants or beneficiaries with accrued benefits, whether or not vested,
under the Plans, Company may terminate this Trust in its entirety prior to the
time all benefit payments under the Plans have been made upon written notice to
Trustee. All assets in the Trust at termination shall be returned to Company
unless Company otherwise directs the Trustee.
13
14
(d) Upon receipt by Company of written approval by all
participants or beneficiaries with accrued benefits, whether or not vested,
under any Plan, Company may terminate this Trust as to that Plan. Upon such a
partial termination of the Trust, all assets of the Trust shall remain in the
Trust and be available for payment of benefits under the remaining Plans.
(e) Sections 1(f), 1(g), 10(c), and 11(b) of the Trust
Agreement may not be amended by Company for five years following a Change in
Control, as defined herein.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by
law or which would cause the Trust to any extent to fail or cease to be a
grantor trust as described in Section 1(c) hereof shall be ineffective to the
extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof.
(b) The Plans shall be administered by Company, and the
Trustee shall be under no duty whatsoever in respect of the administration of
the Plans.
(c) Benefits payable to Plan participants and their
beneficiaries under this Trust Agreement may not be anticipated, assigned
(either at law or in equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered or subjected to
attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.
(d) This Trust Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
(e) Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Trustee
harmless from all liabilities, including attorneys' fees, relating to or
arising out of the establishment, maintenance and administration of the Plans.
To the extent Company does not pay any of such liabilities in a reasonably
timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust.
(f)(1) For purposes of this Trust, a Potential Change in
Control of Company shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) Company
enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in
the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 13(g)
below) of Company; (ii) any "person" (as such term is used in Section
13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), including Company, publicly announces an intention to
take actions which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in
Control of Company (as defined in Section 13(g) below), (iii) any
person, other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of Company, becomes the "beneficial
14
15
owner" as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or
indirectly of securities of Company representing 20% or more of the
combined voting power of Company's then outstanding securities (other
than in connection with the Merger (as defined in Section (g)(2)
below)), or (iv) the Board of Directors of Company adopts a resolution
to the effect that, for purposes of this Trust, a Potential Change in
Control of Company has occurred.
(2) A Potential Change in Control of Company shall also
be deemed to have occurred if there is a "potential change in control"
of any corporation which owns, directly or indirectly, securities
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power
of Company's outstanding securities as of the date immediately prior
to such transaction (the "Parent Company"). Whether the Parent
Corporation has incurred a "potential change in control" shall be
determined under the terms of this Section 13(f) by substituting the
name of the Parent Corporation for "Company."
(g)(1) For purposes of this Trust, a Change in Control of
Company shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person," as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other
than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of Company, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting
power of Company's then outstanding securities; or (ii) during any
period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the
establishment of this Trust), individuals who at the beginning of such
period constitute the Board of Directors of Company (the "Board of
Directors"), and any new director (other than a director designated by
a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect
a transaction described in clause (i) or (iii) of this paragraph)
whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by
Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors
at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for
election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof; or (iii) the shareholders of
Company approve a merger or consolidation of Company with any other
corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result
in the voting securities of Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at
least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of
Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
15
16
merger or consolidation or (iv) the shareholders of Company approve a
plan of complete liquidation of Company or an agreement for the sale
or disposition by Company of all or substantially all of Company's
assets.
(2) A Change in Control shall not, however, include the
merger of Company contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of August 29, 1994, by and among Company,
Martin Marietta Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation (the
"Merger") or any transaction which has been approved by individuals
who at the beginning of any period of at least two consecutive years
(not including any period prior to the establishment of this Trust)
constitute the Board of Directors and any new director (other than a
director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with
Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i) or (iii) of
paragraph (g)(1) above) whose election by the Board of Directors or
nomination for election by Company's shareholders was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved.
(3) A Change in Control of Company shall also be deemed
to have occurred if there is a "change in control" of a Parent
Corporation. Whether a Parent Corporation has incurred a "change in
control" shall be determined under the terms of paragraph (1) of this
Section 13(g) by substituting the name of the Parent Corporation for
"Company" therein.
(4) No transaction involving Company's sale, liquidation,
merger or other disposition of any subsidiary shall constitute a
Change in Control of Company.
(i) This Trust Agreement shall inure to the benefits of,
and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
(j) This Trust Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and said counterpart
shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently
evidenced by any one counterpart.
16
17
SECTION 14. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The effective date of this Trust Agreement shall be December 22, 1994.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company and the Trustee have executed

Marietta. The Trustee believes that the proposed combination is beneficial to
all shareholders of Lockheed, including the Plan, and therefore recommends a
vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the combination and "FOR" the proposals to
approve the adoption of an omnibus performance award plan and a directors
deferred stock plan for Lockheed Martin. However, you are not obligated to
follow the Trustee's recommendation, and you should feel free to instruct the
Trustee to vote in the manner that you think best.
2
HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORMS
The Plan holds shares of Lockheed common stock which have been
allocated to individual participants' accounts (approximately 7.3 million
shares), and shares of Lockheed common stock which are not yet allocated to any
individual's account (approximately 6.8 million shares). This section explains
how you may give voting instructions to the Trustee with respect to both
allocated and unallocated shares of common stock.
Enclosed are two voting instruction forms to be used for giving voting
instructions to the Trustee. The plain blue form is for allocated shares, and
the blue with black border form is for unallocated shares. The recommendations
of the Lockheed Board of Directors with respect to matters to be voted upon at
the Special Meeting of Stockholders are printed on these forms. If you want to
follow the Board's recommendations on all matters, you can do so by signing,
dating and returning both forms in the enclosed postage-paid envelope without
checking any of the boxes on the forms.
Your Role as a Named Fiduciary
Only the Trustee can vote the shares held by the Plan. However, under
the terms of the Plan, each participant is designated as a "Named Fiduciary"
for voting purposes, and thus you are entitled to instruct the Trustee how to
vote (1) all shares allocated to your account, and (2) a proportionate number
of unallocated shares based upon the number of ESOP Match Shares currently
allocated to your account. By signing, dating, and returning EITHER or BOTH of
the voting instruction forms, you are accepting your designation under the Plan
as a "Named Fiduciary," and you should therefore exercise your voting rights
prudently and in the interest of all Plan participants.
You may instruct the Trustee to vote for or against any particular
matter or to abstain from voting on that matter. If you sign and return a
voting instruction form but do not check any boxes on the form, the Trustee
will vote the shares in accordance with the Board's recommendations on the
voting instruction forms.
You should sign, date and return both voting instruction forms only if
you wish to act as "Named Fiduciary" for both the shares allocated to your
account and a portion of the unallocated shares. The following paragraphs
explain how the Trustee will vote shares for which you have NOT returned a
voting instruction form.
Shares Allocated to Your Account
The plain blue voting instruction form (the form without a black
border) represents your instructions to the Trustee for the
2
3
shares which have been allocated to your account and which will be voted in
accordance with your instructions. You should mark the boxes on the form to
indicate your voting instructions to the Trustee, sign and date the instruction
form and return it in the envelope that is provided. IF YOU DO NOT SIGN, DATE,
AND RETURN BY THE VOTING DEADLINE A VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM WITH RESPECT TO
SHARES ALLOCATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT, THE TRUSTEE WILL VOTE THESE SHARES IN FAVOR
OF THE COMBINATION OF LOCKHEED AND MARTIN MARIETTA AND IN FAVOR OF ALL OTHER
MATTERS RELATED TO THE COMBINATION.
Unallocated Shares
The blue voting instruction form with the black border represents your
instructions to the Trustee for the unallocated shares. All of the unallocated
shares will be voted in accordance with voting instruction forms that are
timely returned by participants regardless of the number of participants who
respond. The minimum number of unallocated shares for which you are entitled
to provide instructions will be approximately .92 times the number of ESOP
Match Shares shown on the voting instruction form with the black border. You
should mark the boxes on this form to indicate your voting instructions to the
Trustee with respect to unallocated shares, sign and date the instruction form
and return it in the envelope provided.
If you do not sign and return a black border voting instruction form
before the cut-off date, the unallocated shares for which you could have
provided instructions will be voted in accordance with the instructions of
participants who do return the black border form (not by the exercise of the
Trustee's judgment). Accordingly, the exact number of unallocated shares for
which you will be entitled to provide instructions cannot be determined until
the Trustee has received all timely participant instructions with respect to
the unallocated shares.
Voting Deadline
In order to be assured that your voting instructions to the Trustee
will be followed, you must complete, sign, date and return your voting
instruction forms to the Trustee no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
on ____, 1995. Please remember to return your instruction forms directly to
the Trustee in the enclosed envelope, rather than to Lockheed or any other
party.
If you are also a direct stockholder of Lockheed, you will receive,
under separate cover, proxy materials, including a proxy card, which can be
used to vote your directly-owned shares of Lockheed common stock. That proxy
card cannot be used to direct the voting of shares held in the Plan, which can
only be voted by the Trustee in accordance with instructions received from Plan
participants, as described above.

Confidentiality
Your voting instructions to the Trustee are strictly confidential.
Under no circumstances will the Trustee, or any of its agents, disclose to
Lockheed or any other party how or if you voted. You should feel free to
instruct the Trustee to vote in the manner you think is best.
Questions
If you have any questions about your voting rights under the
Plan, the voting instruction forms, or the secrecy of your vote, please contact
the Trustee between the hours of 8:00 am. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
at 1-800-441-1800 if you are calling from within California, or 1-800-535-3093

NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS
IN THE
LOCKHEED HOURLY ESOPS
Dear ESOP Participant:
The enclosed Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus has been prepared by
Lockheed Corporation ("Lockheed") and Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin
Marietta") in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Special
Meeting of Stockholders of Lockheed to be held on March 15, 1995.
At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of Lockheed will be asked to
approve the combination of the businesses of Lockheed and Martin Marietta and
certain matters related to this combination. As a participant in the Lockheed
Hourly Employee Savings Plan Plus or the Lockheed Space Operations Company
Hourly Employee Investment Plan Plus (the "ESOPs"), you may instruct the
Trustee on voting the shares of Lockheed common stock allocated to your ESOP
account. If the combination is approved, Lockheed and Martin Marietta will
become subsidiaries of a new holding company named Lockheed Martin Corporation
("Lockheed Martin"), and the Lockheed common stock held by the ESOPs will be
converted into Lockheed Martin common stock.
The proposed combination of Lockheed and Martin Marietta is described
in the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. You should carefully read
this material and the following explanation of the voting pass-through rules of
the ESOPs and how to complete and return your voting instruction form.
TO BE COUNTED, VOTING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE RECEIVED
BY THE TRUSTEE NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M. PACIFIC
STANDARD TIME ON MARCH 13, 1995.
THE TRUSTEE'S RECOMMENDATION
The Trustee has consulted with its financial advisor and has
independently evaluated the proposed combination of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta. The Trustee believes that the proposed combination is beneficial to
all shareholders of Lockheed, including the ESOPs, and therefore recommends a
vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the combination and "FOR" the proposals to
approve the adoption of an omnibus performance award plan and a directors
deferred stock plan for Lockheed Martin. However, you are not obligated to
follow the Trustee's recommendation, and you should feel free to instruct the
Trustee to vote in the manner that you think best.
2
HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM
The ESOPs hold shares of Lockheed common stock which have been
allocated to individual participants' accounts. This section explains how you
may give voting instructions to the Trustee with respect to shares of common
stock allocated to your account.
Enclosed is a blue instruction form to be used for giving voting
instructions to the Trustee. The recommendations of the Lockheed Board of
Directors with respect to matters to be voted upon at the Special Meeting of
Stockholders are printed on this form. If you want to follow the Board's
recommendations on all matters, you can do so by signing, dating and returning
the form in the enclosed postage-paid envelope without checking any of the
boxes on the form.
Your Role as a Named Fiduciary
Only the Trustee can vote the shares held by the ESOPs. However,
under the terms of each ESOP, each participant is designated as a "Named
Fiduciary" for voting purposes, and thus you are entitled to instruct the
Trustee how to vote all shares allocated to your account. By signing, dating,
and returning the voting instruction form, you are accepting your designation
under the ESOP as a "Named Fiduciary," and you should therefore exercise your
voting rights prudently and in the interest of all ESOP participants.
You may instruct the Trustee to vote for or against any particular
matter or to abstain from voting on that matter. If you sign and return a
voting instruction form but do not check any boxes on the form, the Trustee
will vote the shares in accordance with the Board's recommendations on the
voting instruction form.
You should sign, date and return a voting instruction form only if you
wish to act as "Named Fiduciary" for the shares allocated to your account. The
ESOPs provide that if you do not give any voting instructions with respect to
shares allocated to your account, your shares will not be voted. However, in
order for the Trustee to satisfy its fiduciary obligations under the law, the
Trustee will vote all shares for which ESOP participants do not provide voting
instructions. THEREFORE, IF YOU DO NOT SIGN, DATE, AND RETURN A VOTING
INSTRUCTION FORM BY THE VOTING DEADLINE, THE TRUSTEE WILL VOTE THE SHARES
ALLOCATED TO YOUR ESOP ACCOUNT IN FAVOR OF THE COMBINATION OF LOCKHEED AND
MARTIN MARIETTA AND IN FAVOR OF ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE COMBINATION.

Voting Deadline
In order to be assured that your voting instructions to the Trustee
will be followed, you must complete, sign, date and return your voting
instruction form to the Trustee no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
on March 13, 1995. Please remember to return your instruction form directly
to the Trustee in the enclosed envelope, rather than to Lockheed or any other
party.
If you are also a direct stockholder of Lockheed, you will receive,
under separate cover, proxy materials, including a proxy card, which can be
used to vote your directly-owned shares of Lockheed common stock. That proxy
card cannot be used to direct the voting of shares held in the ESOPs, which can
only be voted by the Trustee in accordance with instructions received from ESOP
participants, as described above.
Confidentiality
Your voting instructions to the Trustee are strictly confidential.
Under no circumstances will the Trustee, or any of its agents, disclose to
Lockheed or any other party how or if you voted. You should feel free to
instruct the Trustee to vote in the manner you think is best.
Questions
If you have any questions about your voting rights under the ESOPs,
the voting instruction form, or the secrecy of your vote, please contact the
Trustee between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time at
