Re: Lockheed Martin Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan:
Long-Term Incentive Performance Award (2016-2018 Performance Period)

Dear Awardee:

On behalf of the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Lockheed Martin Corporation, I am pleased to tell you that you have been granted a Long-Term Incentive Performance (“LTIP”) Award under the Corporation’s 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). The purpose of this letter is to serve as the LTIP Award Agreement and to set forth your Target Award as well as the terms and conditions to the payment of your Award. Additional terms and conditions are set forth in the Plan and in the Prospectus relating to the Plan of which the Plan document and this Award Agreement are a part. Your Target Award and the Prospectus are available at http://www.stockplanconnect.com. You should retain the Prospectus and the attached copy of the Plan in your records.

Your Award is not effective or enforceable until you properly acknowledge your acceptance of the Award by completing the electronic receipt or returning an executed copy of this Award Agreement to the Vice President of Compensation and Performance Management as instructed below as soon as possible but in no event later than May 31, 2016. If you do not properly acknowledge your acceptance of this Award Agreement on or before May 31, 2016, this Award will be forfeited.

Assuming prompt and proper acknowledgement of your acceptance of this Award Agreement as described above, this Award will be effective as of the Award Date. Acceptance of this Award Agreement constitutes your consent to any action taken under the Plan consistent with its terms with respect to this Award and your agreement to be bound by the restrictions contained in Section 18 and Exhibit A (“Post-Employment Conduct Agreement”) and Exhibit B (“Stock Ownership Requirements”), as amended from time to time, except where prohibited by law.

The Corporation will comply with all applicable U.S. Tax withholding requirements applicable to the Award. Please see the prospectus for the Plan for a discussion of certain material U.S. Tax consequences of the Award. If you are a taxpayer in a country other than the U.S., you agree to make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation or its subsidiaries for the satisfaction of all income and employment tax withholding requirements, as well as social insurance contributions applicable to the Award. Please see the tax summary for your country at http://www.stockplanconnect.com. If you are a taxpayer in a country other than the U.S., you represent that you will consult with your own tax advisors in connection with this Award and that you are not relying on the Corporation for any tax advice.

In general, the Corporation will reduce the amount paid to you under this Award Agreement by an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Tax withholding obligation, based upon the minimum rate of withholding prescribed by law. The Corporation shall also have the right to (i) offset any other obligation of the Corporation to you (including but not limited to withholding from your salary) by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Tax withholding obligation, or (ii) require you (or your Beneficiary) to pay the Corporation an amount equal to the Tax withholding obligation.

Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement either shall be defined in this Award Agreement or if not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning given to the term in the Plan. The term “Target Award” as used in this Award Agreement refers only to the Target Award awarded to you under this Award Agreement and the term “Award” refers only to the LTIP Award set forth in this Award Agreement. References to the “Corporation” include Lockheed Martin Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Appendix A contains an index of all capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement.

 

Section 1. Target Award; Performance Period.

1.1 Target Award. Your Target Award for the Performance Period under this Award Agreement shall be the U.S. dollar amount identified as your Target Award in your account at http://www.stockplanconnect.com.

1.2 Performance Period. The Performance Period under this Award Agreement is a three-year performance period that runs from January 1, 2016, until December 31, 2018.

1.3 Payment of Award. The amount payable to you under your Award is dependent upon the Corporation’s performance as compared to the metrics described in Section 3 and Section 4 of this Award Agreement and your continued employment with the Corporation in accordance with Section 5 of this Award Agreement. As a result of these requirements, any payments you receive may be larger or smaller than your Target Award (e.g., the performance factors could result in no payment in respect of your Award). With respect to US-based Employees, when an Award becomes vested in accordance with Section 5.2(a), the Award amount will be paid to the Participant in US Dollars. With respect to non-US based employees, when an Award becomes vested in accordance with Section 5.2(a), the amount payable to the Participant in cash will be the amount of the Participant’s Award converted into the Participant’s functional currency at the conversion rate determined by the Corporation in its discretion as of the date the Award becomes vested in accordance with Section 5.2(a).

 

Section 2. Calculation of Award Payments.

2.1 End of Performance Period Calculation. Following the end of the Performance Period and prior to any payments being made,

(a) The Committee will calculate the Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor based on the Corporation’s performance during the Performance Period relative to the performance of other corporations which compose the “Peer Performance Group” as defined in Section 3.1 below.


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 3

 

(b) The Committee will calculate the ROIC Performance Factor based on the Corporation’s ROIC during the Performance Period as compared to the projected ROIC for the Performance Period as set forth in the January 27, 2016, Committee resolution (“ROIC Target”).

(c) The Committee will calculate the Cash Flow Performance Factor based on the Corporation’s cumulative Cash Flow during the Performance Period as compared to the projected cumulative Cash Flow for the Performance Period as set forth in the January 27, 2016, Committee resolution (“Cash Flow Target”).

(d) Your “Potential Award” shall be calculated by multiplying the weighted average of the Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor, the ROIC Performance Factor, and the Cash Flow Performance Factor by your Target Award. The Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor, the ROIC Performance Factor, and the Cash Flow Performance Factor shall be weighted as follows in determining the weighted average of the three performance factors:

 

Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor

     50

ROIC Performance Factor

     25

Cash Flow Performance Factor

     25

You must (except as specified in Section 5) remain employed by the Corporation through December 31, 2018, to receive your Potential Award.

2.2 Adjustment of ROIC Target and Cash Flow Target. The Committee will adjust the ROIC Target and Cash Flow Target established as described in Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c), respectively, to account for the impact of an acquisition or divestiture with a transaction value in excess of $1 billion at the time the transaction takes effect.

 

Section 3. Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor.

3.1. Peer Performance Group. The Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor will be based upon the relative ranking of the Corporation’s Average TSR (as defined in Section 3.2(a)) for the Performance Period to the Average TSR for such Period for each corporation in the “Peer Performance Group.” The “Peer Performance Group” shall consist of the corporations which compose the Standard and Poor’s Aerospace and Defense Index reported under symbol S5AERO by Bloomberg L.P. The Corporation’s Total Stockholder Return will be based on the performance of the Stock. With respect to the corporations that make up the Standard and Poor’s Aerospace and Defense Index, the Total Stockholder Return of each corporation that is taken into account in computing the Peer Performance Group Total Stockholder Return will be based on the equity security of the relevant corporation that is used in computing the Standard and Poor’s Aerospace and Defense Index.

3.2. Calculation of Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor.

(a) Calculation of Average TSR. During the Performance Period, the Committee shall compute the Total Stockholder Return (as defined in the Plan and assuming the reinvestment of any cash dividends) for the Corporation and for each other corporation in the Peer Performance Group for thirty-six (36) periods during the Performance Period where each period begins on January 1, 2016 (based on the closing price for the stock on December 31, 2015), and ends on the last day of each successive calendar month in


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 4

 

the Performance Period on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Each such Total Stockholder Return shall be computed from data available to the public. At the end of the Performance Period, the thirty-six (36) Total Stockholder Return figures for each corporation for the Performance Period will be averaged to determine each corporation’s average Total Stockholder Return (“Average TSR”) for the Performance Period. Each corporation’s Average TSR shall be ranked among the Average TSR for each other corporation in the Peer Performance Group on a percentile basis (using the Excel PERCENTRANK function).

(b) Percentage Level of Target Award. Your Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor, expressed as a percentage, will be determined under this Section 3.2(b) (and Section 3.2(c) to the extent interpolation is necessary) based on the Percentile Ranking (as determined under Section 3.2(a)) of the Corporation’s Average TSR for the Performance Period under the following chart:

 

Band

  

Percentile Ranking

  

Total Stockholder
Return Performance
Factor

One

   75th – 100th    200% (Maximum)

Two

   60th    150%

Three

   50th    100%

Four

   40th    50%

Five

   35th    25% (Threshold)

(c) Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor Interpolation. If the Percentile Ranking as determined under Section 3.2(a) puts the Corporation over the listed Percentile Ranking for the applicable Band (other than Band One) in Section 3.2(b), your Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor under Section 3.2(b) shall be interpolated on a linear basis.

If the Corporation’s Average TSR for the three-year Performance Period is negative, the maximum Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor shall not exceed 100%.

 

Section 4. ROIC Performance Factor and Cash Flow Performance Factor.

4.1 ROIC Performance Factor. The ROIC Performance Factor will be determined by comparing the Corporation’s ROIC for the Performance Period to the ROIC Target and then identifying the ROIC Performance Factor based upon the factor associated with the difference on the following table:

 

ROIC Band

  

ROIC Performance
Factor

Target +³ 160 basis points

   200% (Maximum)

(a) ROIC Definition. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “ROIC” means return on invested capital for the Performance Period calculated as (A) average annual (i) net income (excluding any charge or addition to net income resulting solely from adjustment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the effect of enactment of corporate tax reform and related legislation that adjusts United States federal corporate income tax rates) plus (ii) interest expense times one minus the average of the highest marginal federal corporate income tax rates over the three year Performance Period (“Return”), divided by (B) the average thirteen quarter-end investment balances (beginning with the quarter-end immediately preceding the beginning of the Performance Period) consisting of (i) debt (including current maturities of long-term debt) plus (ii) stockholders’ equity plus the postretirement plans amounts determined quarterly as included in the Corporation’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

(b) ROIC Determination. Each component of ROIC and the calculation of any postretirement plans amounts recorded in the Corporation’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and be based upon the comparable numbers reported on the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements or, if audited financial statements are not available for the date or period on which ROIC is being determined, the Committee shall make its determination in a manner consistent with the historical practices used by the Corporation in determining the components of ROIC and postretirement plans amounts recorded in the Corporation’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for purposes of reporting those items on its audited financial statements, as modified by this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ROIC will be adjusted to exclude the impact of any change in accounting standards or adoption of any new accounting standards that is required under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and that is reported in the Corporation’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as having a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. ROIC, as included in the 2016 Long Range Plan, and the change in ROIC for purposes of the ROIC Performance Factor will be determined in accordance with this Section 4.1(b).

4.2 Cash Flow Performance Factor. The Cash Flow Performance Factor will be determined by comparing the Corporation’s cumulative Cash Flow during the Performance Period to the Cash Flow Target, and then identifying the Cash Flow Performance Factor based upon the factor associated with the change from the Cash Flow Target on the following table:

 

Cash Flow Band

  

Cash Flow
Performance Factor

Target + ³$2.0B or more

   200% (Maximum)

Target + $1.5B

   175%

Target + $1.0B

   150%

Target + $0.5B

   125%

Target

   100%

Target – $0.2B

   75%

Target – $0.5B

   50%

Target – $0.7B

   25% (Threshold)

(a) Cash Flow Definition. For purposes of this Award Agreement, Cash Flow means net cash flow from operations but not taking into account: (i) the aggregate difference between the amount forecasted in the Corporation’s 2016 Long Range Plan to be


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 6

 

contributed by the Corporation to the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans during the Performance Period and the actual amounts contributed by the Corporation during the Performance Period; or (ii) any tax payments or tax benefits during the Performance Period associated with the divestiture of business units, other than tax payments or tax benefits that were included in the Corporation’s 2016 Long Range Plan.

(b) Cash Flow Determination. Cash Flow shall be determined by the Committee based upon the comparable numbers reported on the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements or, if audited financial statements are not available for the period for which Cash Flow is being determined, the Committee shall determine Cash Flow in a manner consistent with the historical practices used by the Corporation in determining net cash provided by operating activities as reported in its audited consolidated statement of cash flows, in either case as modified by this paragraph.

4.3 Interpolation of ROIC and Cash Flow Metrics. If the change in ROIC or Cash Flow falls between two numbers listed in the applicable table in Section 4.1 or 4.2, the appropriate factor will be interpolated on a linear basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ROIC Performance Factor will always be zero if the ROIC for the Performance Period falls short of the ROIC Target by more than 30 basis points and the Cash Flow Performance Factor will always be zero if the aggregate Cash Flow for the Performance Period falls short of the Cash Flow Target by more than $0.7 billion.

 

Section 5. Payment of Award.

5.1. Employment Requirement.

(a) General Rule. In order to be eligible to receive payment of your Award as determined under Section 2.1, you must accept this Award Agreement and remain employed by the Corporation through the last day of the Performance Period. Except as provided below or where prohibited by law, if your employment as an Employee terminates during the Performance Period, you shall forfeit your right to receive all or any part of your Award. If you are on Corporation-approved leave of absence at any point during the Performance Period, for purposes of this Award Agreement, you will be considered to still be in the employ of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided in an agreement between you and the Corporation.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), if the Committee determines

(1) that your employment as an Employee terminated as a result of your death, Divestiture, or Total Disability or your Retirement (each as defined in Section 5.1(c)) or

(2) that the Corporation terminated your employment involuntarily after July 28, 2016 (except that, if you are an employee who has been identified by the Corporation as subject to Divestiture, “after July 28, 2016” does not apply to you), as a result of a layoff, including through a voluntary layoff program that constitutes a window program under Section 409A of the Code,

you shall be eligible to receive a fraction of your Award. The numerator of such fraction shall equal the number of days in the Performance Period before your employment as an Employee terminated, and the denominator shall equal the total number of days in


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 7

 

the Performance Period. The Committee shall have complete and absolute discretion to make the determinations called for under this Section 5.1(b), and all such determinations shall be binding on you and on any person who claims all or any part of your Award on your behalf as well as on the Corporation. If you terminate employment during the Performance Period but are eligible to receive a portion of your Potential Award as a result of an exception under this Section 5.1(b), payment of such portion of your Potential Award shall be in full satisfaction of all rights you have under this Award Agreement.

(c) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Award Agreement:

(1) Your employment as an Employee shall be treated as terminating because of a “Total Disability” on the date you commence receiving a benefit under the Corporation’s long-term disability plan in which you participate, or if you are not enrolled in the Corporation’s long-term disability plan, the date on which long-term disability benefits would commence under the plan under which you would have been covered, had you enrolled, using the standards set forth in that plan;

(2) Your employment as an Employee shall be treated as terminating as a result of Divestiture if the Corporation divests all or substantially all of a business operation of the Corporation and such divestiture results in the termination of your employment with the Corporation and a transfer of such employment to the other party in the Divestiture. A “Divestiture” shall mean a transaction that results in the transfer of control of the business operation divested to any person, corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other business entity of which less than 50% of the voting stock or other equity interests are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Corporation, by one or more of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries or by a combination thereof; and

(3) Your employment as an Employee shall be treated as terminating because of “Retirement” if the effective date of your termination of employment is after July 28, 2016, and (i) after you reach age 65, or (ii) after you reach age 55 and have (at the time of your termination) completed at least ten years of service with the Corporation. The effective date of your termination is the first day of the month following the date you terminate services with the Corporation.

(d) Resignation or Termination before the Last Day of the Performance Period.

(1) Except where prohibited by law, if you resign or your employment otherwise terminates before the last day of the Performance Period, other than on account of death, Total Disability, layoff, Retirement or Divestiture (as described above) or Change in Control (as described below), you will forfeit your right to receive all or any part of your Award on the date of your termination.

(2) Except where prohibited by law, if your employment terminates before the last day of the Performance Period by action of the Corporation due to your misconduct, then you will forfeit your right to receive all or any part of your Award on the date of your termination. If your employment terminates due to your misconduct after July 28, 2016, but before the last day of the Performance Period, then you will not be eligible to receive a fraction of your Award pursuant


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 8

 

to Section 5.1(b) of the Award Agreement, even if at the time of your termination due to misconduct you have attained (i) age 55 and ten years of service, or (ii) age 65. The business area or Enterprise Operations review committee responsible for determinations of misconduct, or the Committee if you are an Elected Officer, will determine if your employment terminates due to misconduct.

5.2. Payment Rules.

(a) General Rule: Vesting; Method of Payment; Timing of Payment. If you are eligible to receive all, or a portion of, your Potential Award under Section 5.1, up to $10,000,000 of your Potential Award shall be fully vested on the date on which the Committee certifies in writing (for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code) that your Target Award has become a Potential Award for the Performance Period. This portion of your award shall be known as the “Payable Portion” of your Potential Award. The Payable Portion of your Potential Award shall be (i) paid to you in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the certification date described above, but not later than March 15, 2019, or (ii) deferred in accordance with Section 5.2(c). Subject to your deferral election under Section 5.2(c), in the event of your death, the Payable Portion of your Potential Award will be made to your estate if you do not have a properly completed Beneficiary designation form on file with the Vice President of Compensation and Performance Management.

(b) Special Rules for Certain Employees Terminated During Performance Period. If you terminate employment during the Performance Period but are eligible to receive a portion of your Potential Award as a result of an exception under Section 5.1(b), payment of such portion of your Potential Award shall be in full satisfaction of all rights you have under this Award Agreement. The portion of your Potential Award payable to you following a termination of employment during the Performance Period under circumstances described in Section 5.1(b) shall be paid to you or, in the event of your death, to your Beneficiary for the Award, at the time specified in Section 5.2(a) (subject to section 5.2(c)). In the event of your death and you do not have a properly completed Beneficiary designation form on file with the Vice President of Total Rewards and Performance Management’s office, your payment will be made to your estate.

(c) Deferral. You will be given an opportunity to elect to defer any amounts payable under Section 5.2 of this Award Agreement. Such election shall be irrevocable, shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Lockheed Martin Corporation Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“DMICP”) and the requirements of Code section 409A, and shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as are set by the Committee. A deferral election form and the terms and conditions for any deferral will be furnished to you in due course. The beneficiary designation for the DMICP (rather than the Beneficiary designation for this LTIP Award) shall govern any amounts deferred under the terms of the DMICP. This Section 5.2(c) shall not apply if you are a taxpayer in a country other than the United States.

(d) Payment Rules Applicable to Canadian Employees. If you are employed in Canada, for purposes of the Award Agreement, the date of termination of employment will be the last day of actual and active employment. For the avoidance of doubt, except as may be required by applicable minimum standards legislation, no period of notice or payment in lieu of notice that is given or that ought to have been given under any applicable law or contract in respect of such termination of employment that follows or is


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 9

 

in respect of a period after your last day of actual and active employment, if any, will be considered as extending your period of employment for the purposes of determining your entitlement under this Agreement.

5.3. Cutback. Any portion of your Potential Award in excess of the Payable Portion of your Potential Award will be forfeited to the extent that such portion, together with payments attributable to any other Cash-Based Awards that are granted during 2016 as Performance Based Awards, exceeds $10,000,000. Amounts in excess of any Plan limits also shall be forfeited.

5.4. Means of Satisfying Code Section 409A. If any payment that would otherwise be made under this Award Agreement is required to be delayed by reason of Section 13, such payment shall be made at the earliest date permitted by Code section 409A. The amount of any delayed payment shall be the amount that would have been paid prior to the delay, adjusted to include interest from the original payment date to the actual payment date, at a rate equivalent to the six month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, plus 25 basis points. The increase over LIBOR may be adjusted to reflect the six month unsecured borrowing rate of the Corporation.

 

Section 6. No Assignment – General Creditor Status.

You shall have no right to assign any interest you might have in all or any part of the Target Award or Potential Award which has been granted to you under this Award Agreement and any attempt to do so shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect whatsoever. Furthermore, all payments called for under this Award Agreement shall be made in cash from the Corporation’s general assets, and your right to payment from the Corporation’s general assets shall be the same as the right of a general and unsecured creditor of the Corporation.

 

Section 7. Plan.

This Award Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.

 

Section 8. Change in Control.

8.1. Vesting of Award Upon Change in Control. In the event of a consummation of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, your Target Award will become vested (i) on the effective date of the Change in Control if the LTIP Award is not assumed or continued, or equivalent cash incentives are not substituted for your LTIP Award by the Corporation or its successor, or (ii) if the LTIP is assumed, continued or substituted, upon your involuntary termination other than for Cause (not including death or Total Disability) or your voluntary termination with Good Reason, in either case, within the 24-month period following the consummation of the Change in Control. The cash payment in which you have become vested shall be delivered to you within fourteen (14) days of the date on which you become vested.

8.2 Special Definitions.

(a) Cause shall mean either of the following:


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 10

 

1) Conviction for an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or other act constituting a felony (other than traffic-related offenses or as a result of vicarious liability);

2) Willful misconduct that is materially injurious to the Corporation’s financial position, operating results or reputation; provided, however that no act or failure to act shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you (a) in bad faith; (b) for the purpose of receiving an actual improper personal benefit in the form of money, property or services; or (c) in circumstances where you had reasonable cause to believe that the act, failure to act, or omission was unlawful.

(b) Good Reason shall mean, without your express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following after the Change in Control:

1) A material and substantial reduction in the nature or status of your authority or responsibilities;

2) A material reduction in your annualized rate of base salary;

3) A material reduction in the aggregate value of your level of participation in any short or long term incentive cash compensation plan, employee benefit or retirement plan or compensation practices, arrangements, or policies;

4) A material reduction in the aggregate level of participation in equity-based incentive compensation plans; or

5) Your principal place of employment is relocated to a location that is greater than fifty (50) miles from your principal place of employment on the date the Change in Control is consummated.

Your continued employment following an event that would constitute a basis for voluntary termination with Good Reason shall not constitute Good Reason if you consent to, or waive your rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason. In addition, the occurrence of an event described in 1) through 5) shall constitute the basis for voluntary termination for Good Reason only if you provide written notice of your intent to terminate employment within 90 days of the first occurrence of such event and the Corporation has had at least 30 days from the date on which such notice is provided to cure such occurrence. If you do not terminate employment for Good Reason within 180 days after the first occurrence of the applicable grounds, then you will be deemed to have waived your right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such grounds.

8.3. Special Rule. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, if a payment in accordance with those provisions would result in a nonexempt short-swing transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then the date of distribution to you shall be delayed until the earliest date upon which the distribution either would not result in a nonexempt short-swing transaction or would otherwise not result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

Section 9. Amendment and Termination.

As provided in Section 9 of the Plan, the Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may at any time amend this Award


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 11

 

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such action by the Board of Directors or the Committee shall amend Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 in a manner adverse to you or reduce the amount payable hereunder in a material manner without your written consent. For this purpose, a change in the amount payable hereunder that occurs solely by reason of a change in the date or form of payment due to Section 409A of the Code or Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall in no case be treated as a reduction prohibited by this Section 9. Thus, for example, if an amount payable by reason of Section 8 is delayed by an amendment to this Award Agreement or other action undertaken to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the amount payable is reduced solely by reason of a corresponding delay in the date of valuation of a share of Stock, such a change shall not be treated as a reduction prohibited by this Section 9. This Section 9 shall be construed and applied so as to permit the Committee to amend this Award Agreement at any time in any manner reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to comply with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and of Section 409A of the Code, including amendments regarding the timing and form of payments hereunder.

 

Section 10. Data Privacy Consent For Employees Located Outside Of The United States.

To the extent recognized under applicable law, you hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement by and among the Corporation for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Corporation may elect to administer the settlement of any award. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

 

Section 11. No Assurance of Employment; No Right to an Award; Value of Award.

Nothing contained in the Plan or in this Award Agreement shall confer upon you any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or constitute any contract (of

Exhibit A

Post Employment Conduct Agreement

(LTIP Grant)

This Post Employment Conduct Agreement (this “PECA”) attached as Exhibit A to the Award Agreement with an Award Date of January 28, 2016 (the “Award Agreement”) is entered into in consideration of, among other things, the grant of a Long Term Incentive Performance Award to me under the Award Agreement (the “LTIP”) pursuant to the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). References to the “Corporation” shall include Lockheed Martin Corporation and its Subsidiaries. By accepting the LTIP, I agree as follows:

1. Protective Covenants.

(a) Covenant Not To Compete – Without the express written consent of the “Required Approver,” during the one-year (or two-year for Elected Officers) period following the date of my termination of employment (the “Termination Date”) with the Corporation, I will not, directly or indirectly, be employed by, provide services to, or advise a “Restricted Company” (as defined in Section 6), whether as an employee, advisor, director, officer, partner or consultant, or in any other position, function or role that, in any such case,

 

  (i) oversees, controls or affects the design, operation, research, manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of “Competitive Products or Services” (as defined in Section 6) of or by the Restricted Company, or

 

  (ii) would involve a substantial risk that the “Confidential or Proprietary Information” (as defined in Section 1(c)) of the Corporation (including but not limited to technical information or intellectual property, strategic plans, information relating to pricing offered to the Corporation by vendors or suppliers or to prices charged or pricing contemplated to be charged by the Corporation, information relating to employee performance, promotions or identification for promotion, or information relating to the Corporation’s cost base) could be used to the disadvantage of the Corporation.

Section 1(a)(i) and (ii) shall not apply to residents of California.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to any applicable rules governing attorney conduct (such as the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and state versions thereof), Sections 1(a)(i) and (ii) and Section 1(b) relating to non-solicitation, shall apply to individuals who are employed by the Corporation in an attorney position and whose occupation during the one-year (or two-year, for Elected Officers) period following employment with the Corporation does not include practicing law.

In lieu of Section 1(a)(i) and (ii), as well as Section 1(b) relating to non-solicitation, the following Section 1(a)(iii) shall apply to individuals who are employed by the Corporation in an attorney position, and whose occupation during the one-year (or two-year, for Elected Officers) period following employment with the Corporation includes practicing law.

 

  (iii)

Post-employment Activity As a Lawyer – I acknowledge that as counsel to the Corporation, I owe ethical and fiduciary obligations to the Corporation and that at least some of these obligations will continue even after my Termination Date with the


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 17

 

  Corporation. I agree that after my Termination Date I will comply fully with all applicable ethical and fiduciary obligations that I owe to the Corporation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to any applicable rules governing attorney conduct, I agree that I will not:

 

  (a) Represent any client in the same or a substantially related matter in which I represented the Corporation where the client’s interests are materially adverse to the Corporation; or

 

  (b) Disclose confidential information relating to my representation of the Corporation, including the disclosure of information that is to the disadvantage of the Corporation, except for information that is or becomes generally known.

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 Required Approver, during the one-year period (two-year period for Elected Officers) following the Termination Date, I will not (i) interfere with any contractual relationship between the Corporation and any customer, supplier, distributor or manufacturer of or to the Corporation to the detriment of the Corporation or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any person who is an employee of the Corporation to perform work or services for any entity other than the Corporation.

(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 Corporation committing to hold confidential the “Confidential or Proprietary Information” (as defined below) of the Corporation 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 Corporation or others to which I had access or that I was responsible for creating or overseeing during my employment with the Corporation. 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 Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation shall be and remain the property of the Corporation. 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,


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 18

 

  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 Corporation 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 Corporation in any pending or future litigation (including alternative dispute resolution proceedings) or investigations in which the Corporation 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 Corporation, 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 Acknowledgement. I acknowledge and agree that the benefits and compensation opportunities being made available to me under the Award Agreement are in addition to the benefits and compensation opportunities that otherwise are or would be available to me in connection with my employment by the Corporation and that the grant of the LTIP is expressly made contingent upon my agreements with the Corporation set forth in 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 benefits and compensation opportunities being made available to me under the Award Agreement. I further acknowledge and agree that as a result of the high level executive and management positions I hold with the Corporation and the access to and extensive knowledge of the Corporation’s Confidential or Proprietary Information, employees, suppliers and customers, these restrictions are reasonably required for the protection of the Corporation’s legitimate business interests.

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

(a) If I become (or currently am) an Insider (as defined in the Plan) or receive a Long-Term Incentive Performance Award, I agree, upon demand by the Corporation, to forfeit, return or repay to the Corporation the “Benefits and Proceeds” (as defined below) in the event any of the following occur:

 

  (i) I breach any of the covenants or agreements in Section 1;

 

  (ii) The Corporation 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 Corporation, contributed to the Corporation having to restate all or a portion of its financial statements filed for any period with the Securities and Exchange Commission;


Award Date: January 28, 2016

Page 19

 

  (iii) The Corporation 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 Corporation) contributed to another person’s fraud, bribery or other illegal act, which in any such case adversely affected the Corporation’s financial position or reputation; or

 

  (iv) Under such other circumstances specified by final regulation issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission entitling the Corporation to recapture or clawback “Benefits and Proceeds” (as defined below).

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

(c) For purposes of this Section 3, “Benefits and Proceeds” means (i) to the extent I have earned any of the LTIP, any cash paid to me, whether paid currently or deferred; and (ii) to the extent I have not earned the LTIP fully, all of my remaining rights, title or interest in the LTIP.

4. Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge that the Corporation’s remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Corporation 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 Corporation at law or in equity (including but not limited to, an action under Section 3(a)), the Corporation 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.

6. Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined in this PECA have the meaning given to them in the Plan, as applicable. For purposes of this PECA, the following terms have the meanings given below:

Exhibit B

Stock Ownership Requirements

Lockheed Martin’s Stock Ownership Requirements for Key Employees apply to all senior level positions of Vice President and above. This reflects the expectations of our major stockholders that management demonstrate its confidence in Lockheed Martin through a reasonable level of personal share ownership. This practice is consistent with other major U.S. corporations which link some portion of personal financial interests of key employees with those of shareholders.

Stock Ownership Requirements

 

Title

  

Annual Base Pay Multiple

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer    6 times
Chief Operating Officer    5 times
Chief Financial Officer    4 times
Executive Vice Presidents    3 times
Senior Vice Presidents    2 times
Other Elected Officers    2 times
Other Vice Presidents    1 times

Satisfaction of Requirements

Covered employees may satisfy their ownership requirements with common stock in these categories:

 

    Shares owned directly.

 

    Shares owned by a spouse or a trust.

 

    Shares represented by monies invested in 401(k) Company Common Stock Funds or comparable plans.

 

    Share equivalents as represented by income deferred to the Company Stock Investment Option of the Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (DMICP).

 

    Unvested Restricted Stock Units

 

    Unvested Performance Stock Units granted in 2014 (based on the Target Award).

Key employees will be required to achieve the appropriate ownership level within 5 years and are expected to make continuous progress toward their target. Appointment to a new level will reset the five year requirement. Unexercised options prior to vesting are not counted toward meeting the guidelines.

Holding Period

Covered employees must retain net vested Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units and the net shares resulting from any exercise of stock options if the ownership requirements are not yet satisfied.

Covered employees are asked to report annually on their progress toward attainment of their share ownership goals.
