The Corporation will comply with all applicable U.S. Tax withholding requirements applicable to the PSUs, the DDEs, and associated Stock. 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 PSUs, the DDEs, and associated Stock. Please see the tax summary for your country available on the Stock Plan System at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. 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.
Any withholding Tax on your Award will be satisfied by means of the Corporation reducing the number of shares of Stock (and associated DDEs) deliverable to you in respect of a vested Award. If you are an Insider at the time of income tax withholding, the Corporation will base withholding on the highest individual tax rate. If you are not an Insider at the time of income tax withholding, the Corporation will base withholding on the highest individual tax rate, unless you elect otherwise in accordance with procedures established by the Corporation during an election window offered by the Corporation. If you elect a lower tax rate for withholding, then you may owe additional taxes as a result of the payment of the Award. The Corporation shall also have the right to (i) offset any other obligation of the Corporation to you (including but not limited to, by withholding from your salary) by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Tax withholding obligation, or (ii) require you (or your estate) to pay the Corporation an amount equal to the Tax withholding obligation.
Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon you any right of continued employment by the Corporation or guarantee that any future awards will be made to you under the Plan. In addition, nothing in this Award Agreement limits in any way the right of the Corporation to terminate your employment at any time. Neither the value of the PSUs awarded to you nor the DDEs will be taken into account for other benefits offered by the Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, no Stock will be issued to you pursuant to this Award Agreement within six months from the Award Date. You have no rights as a stockholder to any securities covered by this Award Agreement until the date on which you become the holder of record of such securities.
Transactions involving Stock delivered under this Award Agreement are subject to the securities laws and CPS 722 (a copy of which has been made available to you). Among other things, CPS 722 prohibits employees of the Corporation from engaging in transactions that violate securities laws or involve hedging or pledging stock. Insiders are subject to additional restrictions. The Corporation recommends that Insiders consult with the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary or her staff before entering into any transactions involving Stock or PSUs.
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. Appendix A contains an index of all capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement.

Section 1. | Shares Awarded; Performance Period; Vesting Period; Payment of Award. |
1.1 | Shares Awarded. |
(a) Target Award. Your Target Award for the Performance Period under this Award Agreement shall be the number of whole shares of Stock identified as your Performance Stock Unit (“PSU”) Target Award in your account in the Stock Plan System at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
The Award paid to you shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.1.
(b) Maximum Award. Your Maximum Award for the Performance Period under this Award Agreement shall be the number of shares of Stock equal to 200% of your Target Award, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1 and the caps contained therein.
(c) Deferred Dividend Equivalents (“DDEs”). Your Award shall include a payment equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid to you had you owned the numbers of whole shares of Stock equal to your final Award as determined under Section 2.1(d), from the Award Date until the end of the Performance Period.
1.2 Performance Period. The “Performance Period” under this Award Agreement is the three-year performance period that runs from January 1, 2019, until December 31, 2021.
1.3 Vesting Period. The “Vesting Period” under this Award Agreement is the three-year period that runs from February 21, 2019, until the later of (i) February 21, 2022, or (ii) the date on which the Committee certifies in writing the Total Stockholder Return Performance Factor, the ROIC Performance Factor and the Cash Flow Performance Factor.
1.4 Payment of Award. Your Award will be paid to you in whole shares of Stock (either in book entry or paper form) pursuant to Section 5. The final number of whole shares, if any, payable to you under your Award is dependent upon the Corporation’s performance with respect to each of the metrics described in Section 3 and Section 4, the limits described in Sections 1.1(b) and 2 and your continued employment with the Corporation in accordance with Section 5. As a result of these requirements, the number of whole shares of Stock you receive at the end of the Vesting Period will be between 0% and 200% of your Target Award (as described in Section 2.1 below) and may be smaller than your Maximum Award (or the performance factors could result in no payment in respect of your Award). Any certificates delivered to you may contain any legend the Corporation determines is appropriate under the securities laws. If you are an Insider subject to the reporting provisions of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), delivery of Stock in payment of your Award for any reason may be delayed for six months. For example, if the delivery of the Stock would result in a nonexempt short-swing transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, delivery will be delayed until the earliest date upon which the delivery 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 2. Calculation of Award Payments.
2.1 End of Performance Period Calculation. Following the end of the Performance Period and prior to any shares of Stock being issued,
(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.
(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 February 20, 2019, 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 February 20, 2019, Committee resolution (“Cash Flow Target”).
(d) Your “Earned 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. Any resulting fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. 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%
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of Stock you receive as your final Award shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Fair Market Value of your Earned Award on the last day of the Vesting Period does not exceed the product of (a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Award Date, multiplied by (b) 400%, multiplied by (c) the number of shares in your Earned Award.
You must (except as specified in Section 5) remain employed by the Corporation through the last day of the Vesting Period to receive your Award. No portion of your Award will be payable until it is fully vested in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
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 any acquisition or divestiture during the Performance Period with a transaction value in excess of $1 billion at the time the transaction takes effect.
Award Date: February 21, 2019

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 company in the “Peer Performance Group.” The “Peer Performance Group” shall consist of the following companies (each a “Peer Company”): Arconic Inc. (ARNC), The Boeing Company (BA), Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Holding Corporation (BAH), CACI International Inc. (CACI), General Dynamics Corporation (GD), Xxxxxx Corporation (HRS), Honeywell International Inc. (HON), Huntington Xxxxxxx Industries (HII), Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC), Raytheon Company (RTN), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Textron Inc. (TXT), TransDigm Group Inc. (TDG), and United Technologies Corporation (UTX). The following rules apply to the composition and relative ranking of the Peer Performance Group during the Performance Period:
(a)If, on or before the last trading day of the twenty-fourth month of the Performance Period (i.e., on or before December 31, 2020), a Peer Company publicly announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired (including, without limitation, a merger or other business combination of a Peer Company with another entity in which the Peer Company is not the survivor and the sale of all or substantially all of a Peer Company’s assets), then that Peer Company will be removed from the Peer Performance Group as of the beginning of the Performance Period.
(b)If, after the last trading day of the twenty-fourth month of the Performance Period (i.e., after December 31, 2020), a Peer Company publicly announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired (including, without limitation, a merger or other business combination of a Peer Company with another entity in which the Peer Company is not the survivor and the sale of all or substantially all of a Peer Company’s assets), then that Peer Company’s Average TSR ranking will be fixed at its ranking relative to the Corporation’s Average TSR (i.e., ranking either above or below the Corporation) as of the last trading day of the last full month prior to the announcement.
(c)If a Peer Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction during the Performance Period and following the closing of such transaction the survivor is publicly traded on a securities exchange under the Peer Company’s pre-transaction ticker symbol or under another ticker symbol that includes the Peer Company’s pre-transaction trading history, as determined by the Corporation using the tool the Corporation has designated in its discretion for computing Total Stockholder Return, then the Peer Company will remain in the Peer Performance Group. If both parties to the transaction are Peer Companies, then Section 3.1(a) or 3.1(b) will apply to one Peer Company and Section 3.1(a), 3.1(b), or 3.1(c) will apply to the other Peer Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if Xxxxxx Corporation completes its announced merger transaction with L3 Technologies, Inc. during the Performance Period and continues to trade under the ticker HRS or a new ticker that includes Xxxxxx Corporation’s pre-transaction trading history, then Xxxxxx Corporation will remain in the Peer Performance Group.
(d)If a Peer Company files for bankruptcy under the US Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) at any time during the Performance Period, then that Peer Company will be ranked last for purposes of the end of Performance Period calculation described in Section 3.2(a).
Award Date: February 21, 2019

The Corporation’s Total Stockholder Return will be based on the performance of the Stock. With respect to the Peer Companies, the Total Stockholder Return of each company that is taken into account in computing the Peer Performance Group Total Stockholder Return will be based on the equity security of the relevant company that is traded using the ticker symbol indicated above in parentheses after the Peer Company’s name, or a successor ticker symbol determined as described in Section 3.1(c).
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 company in the Peer Performance Group for 36 periods during the Performance Period where each period begins on January 1, 2019 (based on the closing price for the stock on December 31, 2018), and ends on the last day of each successive calendar month in 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 using the tool the Corporation has designated in its discretion for computing Total Stockholder Return. At the end of the Performance Period, the 36 Total Stockholder Return figures for each company for the Performance Period will be averaged to determine each company’s average Total Stockholder Return (“Average TSR”) for the Performance Period. Each company’s Average TSR shall be ranked among the Average TSRs for each other company in the Peer Performance Group on a percentile basis (using the Excel PERCENTRANK function), taking into account any changes to the Peer Performance Group or ranking changes made during the Performance Period in accordance with Section 3.1(a) – (d).
(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.
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 7
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 +≥ 160 basis points | 200% (Maximum) |
Target + 120 basis points | 175% |
Target + 80 basis points | 150% |
Target + 40 basis points | 125% |
Target | 100% |
Target – 10 basis points | 75% |
Target – 20 basis points | 50% |
Target – 30 basis points | 25% (Threshold) |
(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 and regulations that change the top United States federal corporate income tax rate by two or more percentage points after February 21, 2019 (“Tax Reform”)), plus (ii) interest expense times one minus the weighted average of the highest marginal federal corporate income tax rates over the three year Performance Period, adjusted to reflect any applicable limitations on deductibility of the Corporation’s interest expense (“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. For any year in which net income would otherwise be affected by Tax Reform, net income shall be adjusted by substituting the effective tax rate assumed in the 2019 Long Range Plan for the actual effective tax rate (and ignoring the adjustment under clause (i) above, if any, to the extent necessary to avoid double counting of tax impacts).
(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
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 8
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 standard that was not included in the 2019 Long Range Plan 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 2019 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 + ≥ $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, adjusted to exclude the impact of: (i) the aggregate after tax difference between the amount forecasted in the Corporation’s 2019 Long Range Plan to be 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; (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 2019 Long Range Plan; and (iii) for any year in which Cash Flow would otherwise be affected by Tax Reform, the aggregate difference between the tax payments forecasted in the 2019 Long Range Plan and the actual tax payments (and adjusting the amount under clause (i) above, if any, to the extent necessary to avoid double counting of tax impacts).
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cash Flow will be
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 9
adjusted to exclude the impact of any change in accounting standards or adoption of any new accounting standard that was not included in the 2019 Long Range Plan 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.
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 final Award as determined under Section 2.1(d), you must accept this Award Agreement as described in Section 18 and remain employed by the Corporation through the last day of the Vesting Period. Except as provided below or where prohibited by law, if your employment as an Employee terminates during the Vesting 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 Vesting 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
(i) that your employment as an Employee terminated, as a result of your death, Total Disability or Retirement, or a Divestiture (each as defined in Section 5.1(c)), or
(ii) that the Corporation terminated your employment involuntarily after August 21, 2019, (except that, if you are an employee who has been identified by the Corporation as subject to Divestiture, “after August 21, 2019” 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 and the DDEs with respect to such fraction. The numerator of such fraction shall equal the number of days in the Vesting Period before your employment as an Employee terminated, and the denominator shall equal the total number of days in the Vesting 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 Vesting Period but are eligible to receive a portion of your Award as a result of an exception under this Section 5.1(b), payment of such portion of your Award and DDEs shall be in full satisfaction of all rights you have under this Award Agreement.

(c) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Award Agreement:
(i) 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;
(ii) 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 owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the Corporation, by one or more of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries or by any combination thereof; and
(iii) Your employment as an Employee shall be treated as terminating because of “Retirement” if the effective date of your termination of employment is after August 21, 2019, and (1) after you reach age 65, or (2) after you reach age 55 and have (at the time of your termination) completed at least ten years of service with the Corporation. For this purpose, the effective date of your termination of employment is the day next following your last day worked.
(d) | Resignation or Termination before February 21, 2022. |
(i) Except where prohibited by law, if you resign or your employment otherwise terminates before February 21, 2022, 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.
(ii) Except where prohibited by law, if your employment terminates for any reason before February 21, 2022, 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 August 21, 2019, but before February 21, 2022, then you will not be eligible to receive a fraction of your Award pursuant 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.
Award Date: February 21, 2019

(e) 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 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.
5.2. Payment Rules.

5.3. Cutback. Any payment called for under Section 5.2 will be reduced to the extent that such payment together with payments attributable to any other Share-Based Awards that are granted during 2019 as Performance-Based Awards exceeds 1,000,000 shares of Stock. Amounts in excess of 1,000,000 shares shall be forfeited. Any DDEs on forfeited shares shall also be forfeited.
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 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 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. Until a share of Stock is delivered to you, you generally will not have the rights and privileges of a stockholder. In particular, you will not have the right to vote your PSUs on any matter put to the stockholders of the Corporation; you may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, use as collateral or otherwise dispose of or encumber PSUs; and you will not have the right to receive any dividends paid to stockholders or dividend equivalents on the PSUs.

Section 8. Change in Control.
8.1. Change in Control during the Performance Period.
(a)In the event of a consummation of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, your Target Award (and DDEs) will become vested (i) on the effective date of the Change in Control if the PSUs are not assumed, continued, or equivalent restricted securities are not substituted for your PSUs by the Corporation or its successor, or (ii) if the PSUs are assumed, continued or substituted by the Corporation or its successor, on the effective date of 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; provided that any such termination is also a “separation from service” under Code section 409A.

8.2. Change in Control during the Vesting Period.
(a)In the event of a consummation of a Change in Control after the end of the Performance Period but during the Vesting Period, you will vest in your Target Award (and DDEs) (i) on the effective date of the Change in Control if the PSUs are not assumed or continued or equivalent restricted securities are not substituted for your PSUs by the Corporation or its successor, or (ii) on the earlier of the end of the Vesting Period or the effective date of your termination if the PSUs are assumed, continued or substituted for, upon your involuntary termination other than for Cause (not including death or Total Disability) or your voluntary termination with Good Reason, in either case, prior to the end of the Vesting Period.
(b)In the event the PSUs vest in accordance with this Section 8.2 (whether immediately following the Change in Control or following your termination), the shares of Stock or equivalent substituted securities in which you have become vested and DDEs shall be delivered to you within 14 days of the date on which you become vested.

Page 13
(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:
(i)A material and substantial reduction in the nature or status of your authority or responsibilities;
(ii)A material reduction in your annualized rate of base salary;
(iii)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;
(iv)A material reduction in the aggregate level of participation in equity-based incentive compensation plans; or
(v)Your principal place of employment is relocated to a location that is greater than 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 (i) through (v) 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.
8.4. Special Rule. Notwithstanding Section 8.1 or 8.2, 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 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
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 14
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.

Exhibit A
Post-Employment Conduct Agreement
(PSU Grant)
This Post-Employment Conduct Agreement (this “PECA”) attached as Exhibit A to the Award Agreement with an Award Date of February 21, 2019, (the “Award Agreement”) is entered into in consideration of, among other things, the grant of performance restricted stock units to me under the Award Agreement (the “PSUs”) pursuant to the Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). References to the “Corporation” shall include Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation and its Subsidiaries. By accepting the PSUs, I agree as follows:
1.Restrictions Following Termination of Employment.
(a)Covenant Not To Compete - Without the express written consent of the ”Required Approver” (as defined in Section 6), during the one-year period (or two-year period for Elected Officers) 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
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 20
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 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 two-year period following the Termination Date, I will not (i) cause or attempt to cause, directly or indirectly, the complete or partial loss of any contract in effect before the Termination Date between the Corporation and any customer, supplier, distributor or manufacturer of or to the Corporation with which I was responsible, in whole or in part, for soliciting, negotiating, implementing, managing, or overseeing or (ii) induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any person who is an employee of the Corporation with whom I worked or interacted with within two years prior to the Termination Date to cease employment with the Corporation in order 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
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 21
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, 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, and

(iii) human resources and personnel information.
(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 PSUs 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
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 22
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) 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;
(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;
(iv)The Corporation determines that my intentional misconduct or gross negligence caused severe reputational or financial harm to the Corporation;
(v)The Corporation determines that I misappropriated Confidential or Proprietary Information, as defined in Section 1(c), and I (A) intended to use the misappropriated Confidential or Proprietary Information to cause severe reputational or financial harm to the Corporation or (B) used the misappropriated Confidential or Proprietary Information in a manner that caused severe reputational or financial harm to the Corporation; 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. For purposes of Section 3(a), a determination by the Corporation means, with respect to an Elected Officer, a determination by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Committee”) and, with respect to any other employee, a
Award Date: February 21, 2019
Page 23
determination by a review committee consisting of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, the Senior Vice President, Ethics and Enterprise Assurance, and the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary (the “Review Committee”).
(c) For purposes of this Section 3, “Benefits and Proceeds” means (i) to the extent I own Stock issued in respect of vested PSUs, such Stock; (ii) to the extent I no longer own the shares of Stock of the Corporation issued in respect of the PSUs, cash in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the value of such Stock on the date the associated PSUs vested (which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Review Committee, shall be equal to the closing price of the shares of Common as finally reported by the New York Stock Exchange on such date), and (y) the proceeds received in connection with the disposition of such Stock; and (iii) to the extent I have not earned the PSUs fully, all of my remaining rights, title or interest in my Award and any accrued dividend equivalents with respect thereto.
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.

Exhibit B
Stock Ownership Requirements
Lockheed Xxxxxx’x 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 Xxxxxx 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. |
• | Xxxxxx 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 |
Key employees will be required to achieve the appropriate ownership level within five 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.
