SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE OF PLAN

     The Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan (“Plan”) is hereby established by Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Corporation”). The purpose of this Plan is to provide additional, supplemental benefits to employees of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries or affiliates to replace vested retirement and death benefits that would otherwise be payable under certain other retirement plans of the Corporation and such subsidiaries or affiliates but for:

     (1) the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”); and

     (2) the incidental death benefit rule of Treas. Reg. § 1.401-1(b)(1)(i).

     Lockheed Martin Corporation, as successor to Martin Marietta Corporation, maintained the Martin Marietta Corporation Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan (the “Martin Marietta Corporation Plan”) effective September 28, 1978. This Plan is intended to supersede and replace the Martin Marietta Corporation Plan with respect to Employees covered by this Plan.

     This Plan is intended to be unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

     “Tier One Participants” means the Participants listed on Exhibit A to this Plan.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY

     This Plan shall apply to any Employee who is a participant in the Retirement Plan and whose benefits under the Retirement Plan are limited or reduced by the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code, and, in the case of death, whose death benefits under the Retirement Plan are limited or reduced by the incidental death benefit rule of Treas. Reg. § 1.401-1(b)(1)(i).

SECTION 4. AMOUNT OF BENEFITS

     4.1 A Participant shall receive a retirement from this Plan equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the benefit (adjusted by Section 11 if applicable) that would have been paid under the Retirement Plan (as the same may be in effect from time to time) if the Retirement Plan did not include the limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code over (2) the benefit actually payable under the Retirement Plan.

     4.2 The designated Retirement Plan beneficiary of a Participant who is entitled to receive a death benefit under Article VIII, Pre-Retirement Death Benefit, of the Retirement Plan shall receive a lump sum pre-retirement death benefit from this Plan equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the lump sum pre-retirement death benefit which would have been paid to such designated

beneficiary pursuant to the Retirement Plan if such payment were not limited by (i) Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and (ii) the incidental death benefit rule of Treas. Reg. § 1.401-1(b)(1)(i) (as interpreted in Revenue Ruling 85-15) over (2) the lump sum death benefit actually payable under Article VIII of the Retirement Plan.

     4.3 The surviving spouse of a Participant who is entitled to receive a death benefit under Article VII, Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Benefit, of the Retirement Plan shall receive a lump sum pre-retirement death benefit actuarially equivalent to the pre-retirement surviving spouse annuity from 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 (i) Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code and (ii) the incidental death benefit rule of Treas. Reg. § 1.401-1(b)(1)(i) (as interpreted in Revenue Ruling 85-15) over (2) the pre-retirement surviving spouse annuity benefit actually payable under Article VII of the Retirement Plan.

     4.4 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. (This limitation is not intended to prevent the addition of years of credited service as provided in Section 11.)

     4.5 Benefits shall be payable under this Plan only to Participants who retire or otherwise terminate employment from the Corporation or any designated subsidiary or affiliate after the effective date of this Plan or, with respect to death benefits under Sections 4.2 and 4.3, who die after the effective date of this Plan. (Any former Employee who was covered under the Martin Marietta Corporation Plan and whose benefits commenced prior to such effective date under the Martin Marietta Corporation Plan shall continue to receive from this Plan the same benefits such former Employee was receiving under the Martin Marietta Corporation Plan.) The benefit payable to or with respect to a Participant under this Plan shall be determined based on the Participant’s entire Retirement Plan benefit without distinction as to what part of such benefit, if any, may have accrued before and what part after the effective date of this Plan.

     4.6 Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3, a Participant shall be entitled to receive vested retirement and death benefits under this Plan if and only if the Participant’s retirement benefit under the Retirement Plan is vested.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS

     5.1 Any benefit payable under the Plan shall be paid upon the lapse of six months following the Participant’s Termination of Employment in the form of a cash lump sum payment equal to the Lump Sum Value of the benefits as of the date of such Termination of Employment.

     5.2 If the Lump Sum Value of the benefit under this Plan and any other deferred amounts under agreements, methods, programs, or other arrangements treated with the Plan as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(2) is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code as of the Participant’s Termination of Employment (or at such other time determined by the Administrator in its discretion), the Participant’s benefit under this Plan shall be paid out in a cash lump sum as soon

as practicable following the Participant’s Termination of Employment (or such other time determined by the Plan Administrator).

     5.3 Any amount required to be withheld under applicable Federal, state and local income tax laws shall be withheld from any payments under this Plan and the amount of the payments shall be reduced by the amount so withheld.

     5.4 All payments under this Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Corporation. The Corporation may, at its discretion, establish a trust to hold assets from which benefits payments may be made. This Plan is intended in all events to be unfunded within the meaning of ERISA and for all purposes under the Code.

SECTION 6. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

     The Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive after the Participant’s death any benefit payment to be made after the Participant’s death, which beneficiary is different from the person who is receiving the Retirement Plan. Such beneficiary designation must be made and received by the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death. In the absence of such a designation, the benefits shall be paid to same person who is receiving the Retirement Plan benefits.

SECTION 7. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     The Corporation may:

     (1) terminate this Plan with respect to future Participants or future benefit accruals for current Participants; and

     (2) amend this Plan in any respect, at any time (except that the definition of “Lump Sum Value” and any of the assumptions, components or inputs used to calculate Lump Sum Value may not be amended).

However, without the agreement of the Participant, no such termination or amendment may reduce the amount of any then accrued benefit of any Participant or otherwise diminish the rights of any Participant with respect to such accrued benefit and any such purported termination or amendment shall be void. The prohibition against reduction in the accrued benefit shall not be interpreted in any manner that would result in a Participant, beneficiary or surviving spouse actually receiving from the Retirement Plan and this Plan, combined, a benefit greater than such person would be entitled to receive under the Retirement Plan alone (except as a result of Section 13) if the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code and the incidental death benefit rule of Treas. Reg. § 1.401-1(b)(1)(i) (as interpreted in Revenue Ruling 85-15) did not apply.

SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATION

     8.1 The Corporation is the plan sponsor under Section 3(16)(B) of ERISA.

     8.2 The Administrator is the named fiduciary of this Plan and as such shall have the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of this Plan except as otherwise expressly provided in this plan document. The named fiduciary may designate persons other than the named fiduciary to carry out fiduciary responsibilities under this Plan.

     8.3 The Administrator has the authority (without limitation as to other authority) to delegate its duties to agents and to make rules and regulations that it believes are necessary or appropriate to carry out this Plan.

     8.4 The Administrator has the discretion as a Plan fiduciary (i) to interpret and construe the terms and provisions of this Plan (including any rules or regulations adopted under this Plan), (ii) to determine eligibility to participate in this Plan and (iii) to make factual determinations in connection with any of the foregoing. A decision of the Administrator with respect to any matter pertaining to this 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.

SECTION 9. CLAIMS PROCEDURE

     9.1 A Participant with an interest in this Plan shall have the right to file a claim for benefits under this Plan and to appeal any denial of a claim for benefits. Any request for a Plan benefit or to clarify the Participant’s rights to future benefits under the terms of this Plan shall be considered to be a claim.

     9.2 A claim for benefits will be considered as having been made when submitted by the Participant (or by such claimant’s authorized representative) to the Administrator. No particular form is required for the claim, but the written claim must identify the name of the claimant and describe generally the benefit to which the claimant believes he is entitled. The claim may be delivered personally during normal business hours or mailed to the Administrator.

     9.3 The Administrator will determine whether, or to what extent, the claim may be allowed or denied under the terms of this Plan. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall be so informed by written notice within 90 days after the day the claim is submitted unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. Such extension may not exceed an additional 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render the final decision. If written notice of denial of a claim (in whole or in part) is not furnished within the initial 90-day period after the claim is sent to the Administrator (or, if applicable, the extended 90-day period), the claimant shall consider that his claim has been denied just as if he had received actual notice of denial.

     9.4 The notice informing the claimant that his claim has been wholly or partially denied shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:

          (1) The specific reason(s) for the denial.

          (2) Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based.

          (3) 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.

          (4) Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant or beneficiary wishes to submit his claim for review.

     9.5 If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the claimant (or his authorized representative) may file an appeal of the denied claim with the Administrator requesting that the claim be reviewed. The Administrator shall conduct a full and fair review of each appealed claim and its denial. Unless the Administrator notifies the claimant that due to the nature of the benefit and other attendant circumstances he is entitled to a greater period of time within which to submit his request for review of a denied claim, the claimant shall have 60 days after he (or his authorized representative) receives written notice of denial of his claim within which such request must be submitted to the Administrator.

     9.6. The request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing. In connection with making such request, the claimant or his authorized representative may:

          (1) Review pertinent documents.

          (2) Submit issues and comments in writing.

     9.7 The decision of the Administrator regarding the appeal shall be promptly given to the claimant in writing and shall normally be given no later than 60 days following the receipt of the request for review. However, if special circumstances (for example, if the Administrator decides to hold a hearing on the appeal) require a further extension of time for processing, the decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. However, if the Administrator holds regularly scheduled meetings at least quarterly, a decision on review shall be made by no later than the date of the meeting which immediately follows the Administrator’s receipt of a request for review, unless the request is filed within 30 days preceding the date of such meeting. In such case, a decision may be made by no later than the date of the second meeting following the Administrator’s receipt of the request for review. If special circumstances (for example, if the Administrator decides to hold a hearing on the appeal) require a further extension of time for processing, the decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but no later than the third meeting following the Administrator’s receipt of the request for review. If special circumstances require that the decision will be made beyond the initial time for furnishing the decision, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant (or his authorized representative) prior to the commencement of the extension. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall be furnished to the claimant or to his authorized representative within the appropriate time for the decision. If a written decision on review is not furnished within the appropriate time, the claim shall be deemed to have been denied on appeal.

     9.8 The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, decide to hold a hearing if it determines that a hearing is necessary or appropriate in order to make a full and fair review of the appealed claim.

     9.9 The decision on review shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, as well as specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

     9.10 A Participant must exhaust his rights to file a claim and to request a review of the denial of his claim before bringing any civil action to recover benefits due to him under the terms of this Plan, to enforce his rights under the terms of this Plan, or to clarify his rights to future benefits under the terms of this Plan.

     9.11 The Administrator shall exercise its responsibility and authority under this claims procedure as a fiduciary and, in such capacity, shall have the discretionary authority and responsibility (1) to interpret and construe this Plan and any rules or regulations under this Plan, (2) to determine the eligibility of Employees to participate in this Plan, and the rights of Participants to receive benefits under this Plan, and (3) to make factual determinations in connection with any of the foregoing.

SECTION 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     10.1 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.

     10.2 No right or interest of any person entitled to a benefit under this Plan shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment, or transfer of any kind.

     10.3 This Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina to the extent that such laws are not preempted by Federal law.

SECTION 11. CHANGE OF CONTROL

     11.1 In the event of a Change of Control, the Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be determined by taking into account the rules of Section 11.2 through 11.5 (including Appendix I).

     11.2 If, during the two year period following the effective date of a Change in Control, the Corporation terminates the Participant’s employment other than for Cause or Disability, or the Participant terminates his employment for Good Reason, or in the event of the Employee’s Death while in active employment with the Company, or for Tier One Participants, if during the thirty day period following the two year anniversary of the effective date of a Change of Control the Participant terminates his employment for any reason, then the Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be determined and paid (i) as provided in Sections 11.3 through 11.5 if the Participant is a party to an Employment Protection Agreement with the Corporation, and (ii) as

provided in Section 11.5 if the Participant does not have an Employment Protection Agreement with the Corporation. The application of the provisions of Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 are illustrated by the examples in Appendix I, which shall be deemed to be a part of this Plan. If for any reason benefits are not payable under this Section 11, this Section 11 shall in no way apply to or restrict the payment of benefits otherwise provided for under this Plan. For example, if following a Change in Control the Corporation terminates the Participant’s employment for Cause, then notwithstanding that the Participant shall not have his benefits determined and paid under this Section 11, the Participant shall continue to be entitled to his benefits as otherwise provided under this Plan.

     11.3 For the purpose of determining the benefit under Section 4.1, the benefit that would have been paid under the Retirement Plan (but for the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code) shall be determined by taking into account (i) the amount of the Employee’s lump sum payment under Section 3(a) of the Employee’s Employment Protection Agreement with the Corporation, as provided in Section 11.4, and (ii) additional years of credited service equal to the number (“multiplier”) that is multiplied by the Employee’s annual base salary and annual bonus (both as defined in the Employee’s Employment Protection Agreement) to determine the amount of the payment under Section 3(a) of such Employment Protection Agreement. Such additional years of credited service shall be taken into account for vesting purposes under the Plan. In addition, for a Participant who is a party to an Employment Protection Agreement, there shall be no reduction for benefit commencement prior to age 65 and as early as age 55 on the net benefit (after reduction for the payment under the Retirement Plan) payable under this Plan.

     11.4 The lump sum payment shall be taken into account by dividing the amount of the lump sum payment by the multiplier and by treating the Employee as having additional pensionable earnings, for the purpose of determining the Participant’s final-average pensionable earnings, equal to such amount for a number of additional calendar years equal to the multiplier. Moreover, such additional calendar years shall extend the number of calendar years taken into account in determining final-average pensionable earnings.

     11.5 The Participant shall receive a cash lump sum payment equal to the Lump Sum Value of the benefits determined as of the Participant’s earliest retirement date (age 55 or current age if older) under this Plan. The actuarial present value shall be based on the mortality table applicable under the Retirement Plan determined as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment and based on an interest rate of 0.0 percent. Such lump sum payment shall be paid to the Participant upon the lapse of six months following the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

     11.6 In the event of a Change of Control, then with respect to any matter involving or relating to a disputed benefit under this Plan, all administrative decisions, determinations, and interpretations, administrative rules, claims decisions and the like shall be made on behalf of the Administrator only by a majority of the Incumbent Board, provided that the Incumbent Board then constitutes a majority of the Board. If the Incumbent Board does not then constitute a majority of the Board, then the Incumbent Board shall appoint an administrator who cannot be removed by the Corporation and such administrator shall make any such

decisions, determinations, interpretations and rules. The decisions made by the administrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The Corporation shall promptly pay all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Participant with respect to any matter involving or relating to a disputed benefit under this Plan upon submission by the Participant to the Corporation of an invoice (or other similar document) that reasonably describes the fee or expense to be paid; provided, however, that the Participant shall reimburse to the Corporation the amount of any such legal fees and expenses paid by the Corporation if, with respect to any matter involving or relating to a disputed benefit under this Plan, a duly authorized court of law determines that the Participant’s claim was frivolous.

SECTION 12. COMMUTATION OF BENEFITS

     If, as a result of a failure of this Plan to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any benefit payment (or the value thereof) hereunder becomes taxable to a person prior to the time the benefit payment is actually received by such person, the Corporation shall accelerate the payment of an amount of such benefits to such person equal to the amount that is required to be included in the income of such person as a result of such failure. This Section 12 is intended to comply with, and shall at all times be construed as complying with, Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vii).

     This Plan was originally effective as of October 18, 1996, which date shall be referred to as the effective date of this Plan. This amended and restated plan document has been adopted this 13th day of August, 2008.

MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED
SUPPLEMENTAL EXCESS RETIREMENT PLAN

APPENDIX I

Example One. The application of Sections 11.3 and 11.4 is illustrated by the following example. Assume that the Employee’s lump sum payment under Section 3(a) of the Employee’s Employment Protection Agreement is three times the Employee’s annual base salary and annual bonus. The multiplier, therefore, is three (3). Assume that the Employee’s lump sum payment under Section 3(a) of the Employment Protection Agreement is $500,000. The Employee shall be entitled to three (3) additional calendar years of pensionable earnings of $250,000 each. Assume that the Retirement Plan provides that the Employee’s final-average pensionable earnings thereunder is the average of the annual pensionable earnings for the five (5) consecutive calendar years selected from the most recent ten (10) consecutive calendar years that would provide the highest average. Assume that without regard to this Plan the Participant’s pensionable earnings under the Retirement Plan for the ten (10) most recent consecutive calendar years are:

Year 1		=		$	190,000
Year 2		=		$	195,000
Year 3		=		$	200,000
Year 4		=		$	195,000
Year 5		=		$	210,000
Year 6		=		$	220,000
Year 7		=		$	220,000
Year 8		=		$	250,000
Year 9		=		$	250,000
Year 10		=		$	240,000

Under the Retirement Plan, the Participant’s final-average pensionable earnings would be the average of his pensionable earnings for years 6 through 10, or $236,000. For the purpose of determining the benefit under Section 4.1 of this Plan, the benefit that would have been paid under the Retirement Plan (but for the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code) shall be determined by taking into account pensionable earnings of $250,000 for each of three additional years, Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13, without dropping Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3, with the result that Participant’s final-average pensionable earnings would be the average of his pensionable earnings for Years 9 through 13, or $248,000 (the highest 5 consecutive calendar years out of the most recent 12 years). Assume that without regard to this Plan the Participant would have 19 years of credited service under the Retirement Plan. For the purpose of determining the benefit under Section 4.1 of this Plan, the benefit that would have been paid under the Retirement Plan (but for the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code) shall be determined by treating the Participant as having 22 years of credited service (19 years plus 3 years (from the multiplier)). Assume that the annual retirement benefit provided under the Retirement Plan is 0.0175 multiplied by the Participant’s final-average pensionable earnings multiplied by the Participant’s years of credited service. Under the Retirement Plan the

Participant’s annual benefit disregarding Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code would be: $236,000 X 19 X 0.0175 = $78,470. Assume that the Participant’s annual benefit under the Retirement Plan taking into account the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code would be: $195,000 X 19 X 0.0175 = $64,837.50. Then, the Participant’s annual benefit under this Plan would be: ($248,000 X 21 X 0.0175) or $95,480 minus $64,837.50 = $30,642.50 commencing as of the Participant’s earliest retirement date (age 55); note that no reduction is applied on the net benefit ($30,642.50) for commencement as early as age 55.

Example Two. The application of Section 11.5 is illustrated by the following example. Assume that the Participant in Example One terminated employment at age 49. Assume that under the mortality table then in effect under the Retirement Plan, the actuarial present value factor at age 49 of annual benefits commencing at age 55 is 26.5. The amount of the Participant’s lump sum payment at age 49 under this Plan would be 26.5 X $30,642.50 = $812,026.25.

Example Three. The application of Section 11.5 is further illustrated by the following example. Assume the same facts as in Example One and Example Two, except that the Participant did not have an Employment Protection Agreement. Under the Retirement Plan the Participant’s annual benefit commencing at age 65 and disregarding Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code would be $236,000 x 19 x 0.0175 = $78,470.00. The annual benefit commencing at age 65 under the Retirement Plan taking into account the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code would be $195,000 x 19 x 0.0175 = $64,837.50. Assume that the reduction factor for benefits commencing at age 55 is 0.64. Then the annual benefit commencing at age 55 under this Plan would be ($78,470.00 — $64,837.50) x 0.64 = $8,724.80 and the amount of the Participant’s lump sum payment at age 49 under this Plan would be 26.5 x $8,724.80 = $231,207.20.
