In the case of an Officer, this determination will be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

4.	Exceptions To Coverage As An Executive Layoff Event. Notwithstanding Section 3 or anything else to the contrary, an Employee’s Executive Layoff Event will not be considered to have occurred and the Employee will not be entitled to a Severance Benefit if:

the Employee is terminated for Cause; or

(d)

the Employee (i) terminates employment on his or her own initiative including retirement, resignation, failure to return from leave of absence or disability, or (ii) dies.

5.	Calculation of Severance Benefit.

(c)

Timing of Payment of Severance Benefit – The amount of the Severance Benefit payable under Section 5(a) and Section 5 (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) above will be paid in a lump sum, less applicable tax withholdings as follows:

(i)

In the case of payment of a Basic Severance Benefit, within 90 days following the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event, but in no event later than the March 15 immediately following the year in which the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event; and

(ii)

In the case of payment of a Supplemental Severance Benefit, within 90 days following the Eligible Employee’s (a) Executive Layoff Event, and (b) execution of a release of claims and the expiration of any applicable revocation period thereunder following such Executive Layoff Event, but in no event later than the March 15 immediately following the year in which the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event occurs. Outplacement and relocation expenses paid as part of the Supplemental Severance Benefit will be provided by a third party provider selected by the Company. Outplacement or relocation expenses will be paid by the

Company to the third party providing the services following billing to the Company and must be incurred no later than December 31 of the second year following the year in which the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event occurred and paid by the Company no later than December 31 of the third year following the year in which the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment occurred. To the extent that (i) Internal Revenue Code Section 409A applies to any payment under this Plan, and (ii) the employee is required to sign a release of claims or noncompetition agreement in order to receive payment, payments under this Plan shall be made no later than 90 days following the Executive Layoff Event; provided that if the payment period or the period in which the employee may consider whether to sign the release or other agreement spans two taxable years, payment shall be made or shall commence in the later taxable year.

(iii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a)

an Eligible Employee other than an Officer may elect to receive (in lieu of outplacement services) a cash payment equal to $10,000 for Level 7 Employees and $15,000 for Level 8 Employees.

(b)

an Eligible Employee who is not an Officer and who relocated pursuant to CPS 538 within 60 months prior to his or her Executive Layoff Event may elect to receive (in lieu of relocation services) a cash payment in the amount of $75,000.

(c)

The cash payments described in Section 5(c)(iii) will be paid (less applicable tax withholdings) on the same terms and conditions as the Supplemental Severance Benefit within 90 days following the Eligible Employee’s (a) Executive Layoff Event, and (b) execution of a release of claims and the expiration of any applicable revocation period thereunder following such Executive Layoff Event, but in no event later than the March 15 immediately following the year in which the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event occurs; provided that, to the extent that a payment is subject to Code section 409A, if the payment period or the period during which the employee may consider whether to execute the release spans two taxable years, the payment shall be made in the later taxable year. The elections described in this Section 5(c)(iii) shall be made at such time and in such manner as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. If no such election is made, the Eligible Employee shall remain eligible for outplacement and relocation services as set forth in Section 5(c)(ii), and the amounts paid by the Company for such services shall be reported as taxable income to the Eligible Employee.

(d)

Maximum Benefit Payable – Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the total amount of benefits, including Plan benefits, provided to an Eligible Employee would result in an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company, in its sole discretion, may reduce the benefits provided under the Plan so that the total payment will not result in an excess parachute payment to the Eligible Employee.

(e)

Specified Employees – The benefits under this Plan are intended to meet the exceptions under Code section 409A for short term deferrals, involuntary severance payments, and/or benefits payable within a limited time after separation from service. However, to the extent any benefit payable under this Plan to an Eligible Employee who is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code section 409A) is subject to Code section 409A, such benefit payment shall be delayed until 6 months following the month in which the Eligible Employee has a Termination of Employment from the Company.

6.	Further Conditions on Payment of Severance Benefit.

(a)

The Company retains the right to condition payment of a Basic Severance Benefit or Supplemental Severance Benefit upon the Eligible Employee maintaining fully satisfactory work performance until the effective date of the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event as agreed to by the Company, including the Eligible Employee’s faithful performance of any remaining obligations the Eligible Employee may owe to the Company such as prompt reimbursement to the Company for cash advances and debit balances and the return of all Company property. To the extent the Eligible Employee fails to maintain fully satisfactory work performance until the effective date of the Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event, such Eligible Employee shall forfeit his or her Basic Severance Benefit and/or Supplemental Severance Benefit, in their entirety, to the extent of any such benefit.

(b)

In the event an Eligible Employee who is entitled to a Supplemental Severance Benefit becomes employed by the Company (or an Affiliate) prior to the first anniversary of his or her Executive Layoff Event, the Eligible Employee shall be obligated to repay to the Company an amount equal to the amount of the Employee’s Supplemental Severance Benefit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of weeks (capped at 52) in the one-year period following the Employee’s termination of employment during which the Employee is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is fifty-two (52).

(c)

If an Eligible Employee dies after his or her Termination of Employment, but before payment of a Basic Severance Benefit is made, the Basic Severance Benefit will be paid to his or her estate. If an Eligible Employee dies after he or she has signed the release of claims and the release of claims is delivered to the Company within the time limit provided in Section 5(b) of the Plan, then the Supplemental Severance Benefit will be paid to his or her estate in accordance with the timing rules in Section 5(d).

(d)

The benefits under the Plan are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any other severance or similar benefits for which the Eligible Employee may be eligible under any Company plan, policy, agreement or arrangement (including but not limited to the Salaried Employee Plan). As a condition to receiving a benefit under the Plan, the Company may require that the Eligible Employee waive rights under all other plans, policies, agreements or arrangements providing severance or similar benefits or may reduce the amount payable under the Plan by the amount payable under any other such plan policy, agreement or arrangement. In no event shall the Company’s administration of the Plan in accordance with the preceding sentence operate to delay payment of a benefit under the Plan to an Eligible Employee beyond March 15^th immediately following the year in which such Eligible Employee’s Executive Layoff Event occurs.

Administration. The Company may appoint or employ such persons as it deems necessary to render advice with respect to any responsibility of the Company under the Plan. The Committee, with respect to Officers, and the Savings Plan Administrative Committee, with respect to all other Employees shall determine the eligibility of any Employee to participate in the Plan and the right of any Employee to any benefit and the amount of any benefit payable under the Plan to any individual. The Committee and the Savings Plan Administrative Committee shall have the discretionary authority to interpret any term of the Plan.

8.	Claims Procedure.

(a)

The Senior Vice President, Human Resources or his or her delegate shall notify each Eligible Employee who has been determined to have incurred an Executive Layoff Event and who is eligible to receive benefits under the Plan and shall provide any forms required in connection with application for such benefits. If any Employee disagrees with determination of his or her benefits, the Employee may submit a written statement to the Claims Administrator describing the basis of the claim for benefits, together with any forms required in connection with application for a benefit, at any time within the 120 day period following the date on which the Employee claims to have become entitled to the Basic Severance Benefits or the Supplemental Severance Benefits.

(b)

The procedures when a claim under the Plan is wholly or partially denied are as follows:

(i)

The Claims Administrator shall, within 90 days after receipt of a claim, furnish to claimant a written notice setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by claimant: (1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (3) a description of any additional materials or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; (4) an explanation of the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to have the denial reviewed; and (5) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse determination on review. The 90 day period may be extended for not more than an additional 90 days if special circumstances make such an extension necessary. The Claims Administrator shall give the claimant, before the end of the initial 90 day period, a written notice of such extension, stating such special circumstances and the date by which the Claims Administrator expects to render a decision.

(ii)

By a written application filed with the Claims Administrator within 60 days after receipt by claimant of the written notice described in paragraph (a), the claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may request review of the denial of his or her claim by the Claims Administrator.

(iii)

In connection with review by the Claims Administrator, the claimant or his duly authorized representative may submit issues, comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits under the Plan to the Claims Administrator. In addition, the claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, or other information “relevant” to claimant’s claim for benefits. A document, record, or other information is “relevant” if it: (1) was relied upon in making the benefit determination;

(2) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such document, record or information was relied upon in making the benefit determination; or (3) demonstrates compliance with administrative processes and safeguards required under federal law.

(iv)

The Claims Administrator will provide an impartial review that takes into account all comments, records and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The Claims Administrator shall make a decision and furnish such decision in writing to the claimant within 60 days after receipt by the Claims Administrator of the request for review. This period may be extended by the Claims Administrator to not more than 120 days after such receipt if special circumstances make such an extension necessary. The claimant will be notified in writing prior to the expiration of the original 60-day period if such an extension is required, and such notice will include the reason for the extension and the date by which it is expected that a decision will be reached. The decision on review shall be in writing, set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include: (1) the specific reasons for the decision; (2) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based; (3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information “relevant” to the claimant’s claim for benefits; (4) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; (5) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures and the claimant’s right to obtain information about such procedures, if any; and (6) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. In the event that the Claims Administrator must make a determination of disability in order to decide a claim, the Claims Administrator shall follow the special claims procedures for disability benefits described in Department of Labor Regulation section 2560.503-1(d). The Claims Administrator shall render a decision within a reasonable time (not to exceed 90 days) after the claimant’s request for review, rather than within 120 days as set forth in the above paragraph.

(v)

In filing a claim or appeal under this Section 8, an Employee at his or her option may act through an authorized representative.

Funding. The Plan shall not be funded through a trust, insurance contract or otherwise, and all benefit payments from the Plan shall be made from the general assets of the Company. Accordingly, an Employee shall not have any claim against specific assets of the Company, and shall be only a general creditor, with respect to any rights he/she may have under the Plan.

10.

Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Plan may be amended, in whole or in part, at any time by action of the Committee or by any authorized delegate, without notice, except that any amendment that would change the eligibility requirements or the amount of benefits payable under the Plan must be approved by the Committee. The Plan may be terminated by action of the Committee at any time. Upon termination of the Plan, the Company shall have no further liability hereunder, and all Plan benefits (including any amounts payable to Employees who separated from service before the date of Plan termination) shall cease.

11.	No Assignment. No Basic Severance Benefit or Supplemental Severance Benefit payable under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged as a security for indebtedness or otherwise encumbered, or subjected to any legal process for the payment of any claim against an Employee.

12.

Relationship to Other Benefits. An Employee’s Basic Severance Benefit or Supplemental Severance Benefit shall not be taken into account to increase any benefits provided (or to continue coverage) under any other plan, policy, or arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate, except as otherwise expressly provided in writing in the other plan, policy, or arrangement, including accelerating vesting or other rights under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Incentive Performance Award Plan (or any successor plan).

13.

Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by Federal law, the Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payments under this Award Agreement shall be made at a time and in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

The Plan was approved by the Management Development and Compensation Committee and was originally effective as of January 1, 2008. Amendments to the Plan are effective as of the date(s) set forth above.

The Corporation’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary or the General Tax Counsel, as applicable, will determine in his or her discretion whether an individual is employed by the Corporation in an attorney position.

(b) Non-Solicit – Without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or the Committee with respect to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), during the two-year period following the Termination Date, I will not (i) interfere with any contractual relationship between the Company and any customer, supplier, distributor or manufacturer of or to the Company to the detriment of the Company or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any person who is an employee of the Company to perform work or services for any entity other than the Company.

(c) Protection of Proprietary Information – Except to the extent required by law, following my Termination Date, I will have a continuing obligation to comply with the terms of any non-disclosure or similar agreements that I signed while employed by the Company committing to hold confidential the “Confidential or Proprietary Information” (as defined below) of the Company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies, joint ventures, partnerships, customers, suppliers, partners, contractors or agents, in each case in accordance with the terms of such agreements. I will not use or disclose or allow the use or disclosure by others to any person or entity of Confidential or Proprietary Information of the Company or others to which I had access or that I was responsible for creating or overseeing during my employment with the Company. In the event I become legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or otherwise) to disclose any proprietary or confidential information, I will

immediately notify the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary as to the existence of the obligation and will cooperate with any reasonable request by the Company for assistance in seeking to protect the information. All materials to which I have had access, or which were furnished or otherwise made available to me in connection with my employment with the Company shall be and remain the property of the Company. For purposes of this PECA, “Confidential or Proprietary Information” means Proprietary Information within the meaning of CRX-015C (a copy of which has been made available to me), including but not limited to information that a person or entity desires to protect from unauthorized disclosure to third parties that can provide the person or entity with a business, technological, or economic advantage over its competitors, or which, if known or used by third parties or if used by the person’s or entity’s employees or agents in an unauthorized manner, might be detrimental to the person’s or entity’s interests. Confidential or Proprietary Information may include, but is not limited to:

(i)

existing and contemplated business, marketing and financial business information such as business plans and methods, marketing information, cost estimates, forecasts, financial data, cost or pricing data, bid and proposal information, customer identification, sources of supply, contemplated product lines, proposed business alliances, and information about customers or competitors, or

(ii)

existing or contemplated technical information and documentation pertaining to technology, know how, equipment, machines, devices and systems, computer hardware and software, compositions, formulas, products, processes, methods, designs, specifications, mask works, testing or evaluation procedures, manufacturing processes, or production processes.

(d) No disparagement – Following the Termination Date, I will not make any statements, whether verbal or written, that disparage or reasonably may be interpreted to disparage the Company or its directors, officers, employees, technology, products or services with respect to any matter whatsoever.

(e) Cooperation in Litigation and Investigations – Following the Termination Date, I will, to the extent reasonably requested, cooperate with the Company in any pending or future litigation (including alternative dispute resolution proceedings) or investigations in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is a party or is required or requested to provide testimony and regarding which, as a result of my employment with the Company, I reasonably could be expected to have knowledge or information relevant to the litigation or investigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this PECA, nothing in this PECA shall affect my obligation to cooperate with any governmental inquiry or investigation or to give truthful testimony in court.

2. Consideration and Release of Claims. I acknowledge and agree that the Severance Payment being made to me is in addition to the payments or benefits that otherwise are or would be owed to me by the Company and that the Severance Benefit being provided to me is in consideration for my entering into this PECA and the Release of Claims attached to this PECA. I acknowledge that the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 1 are necessary to be effective and are fair and reasonable in light of the value of the payments being made to me. I further acknowledge and agree that as a result of the high level executive and

management positions I have held within the Company and the access to and extensive knowledge of the Company’s Confidential or Proprietary Information, employees, suppliers and customers, these restrictions are reasonably required for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests.

Remedies For Breach of Section 1; Additional Remedies of Clawback and Recoupment.

(a) I agree, upon demand by the Company, to repay the Severance Payment to the Company in the event any of the following occur:

(i)

I breach any of the covenants in Section 1;

(ii)

The Company determines that either (a) my intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or (b) my failure to report another person’s intentional misconduct or gross negligence of which I had knowledge during the period I was employed by the Company, contributed to the Company having to restate all or a portion of its financial statements filed for any period with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

(iii)

The Company determines that I engaged in fraud, bribery or any other illegal act or that my intentional misconduct or gross negligence (including the failure to report the acts of another person of which I had knowledge during the period I was employed by the Company) contributed to another person’s fraud, bribery or other illegal act, which in any such case adversely affected the Company’s financial position or reputation.

(b) The remedy provided in Section 3(a) shall not be the exclusive remedy available to the Company for any of the conduct described in Section 3(a) and shall not limit the Company from seeking damages or injunctive relief.

4. Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge that the Company’s remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Company against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 1 or the conduct described in Section 3(a), and, therefore, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Company at law or in equity (including but not limited to, an action under Section 3(a), the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in its favor and to specific performance without proof of actual damages and without the requirement of the posting of any bond or similar security.

5. Invalidity; Unenforceability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this PECA shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this PECA is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this PECA shall be deemed amended to delete the portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
