LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION
6.625% NOTE DUE 1998
1. Interest. Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Corporation"), a Maryland
corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at
the rate per annum shown above. The Corporation will pay interest semiannually
on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from June 15, 1996. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Corporation will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest, which shall be paid as set forth below) to the
persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
record date for the next interest payment date even though the Notes are
cancelled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Any
such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease
to be payable to the Holder on such regular record date and may either be paid
to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is
registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of
such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Corporation, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Notes not less than 15 days prior to such special record
date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture. Holders must surrender the Notes to a Paying Agent
to collect principal payments. The Corporation will pay principal and interest
in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. However, the Corporation may pay principal
and interest by its check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check
to a Holder's registered address. To the extent lawful, the Corporation shall
pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes and shall pay
interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, First Trust of Illinois,
National Association ("Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Corporation may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without
notice. The Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Indenture) may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.
4. Indenture. The Corporation issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of May 15, 1996 ("Indenture"), between the Corporation, the Guarantor and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15
U.S. Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb) ("Act"). The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture, all applicable supplemental
indentures and the Act for a statement of those terms.
-3-
As provided in the Indenture, Securities may be issued in one or more series,
which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may
mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be
subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different
sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different
covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted
in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Notes designated on the
face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000 (except as
provided or permitted in the Indenture).
5. Redemption. The Notes are not redeemable by the Corporation.
6. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are registered in global
form and Holders shall not be entitled to receive Notes in definitive form
unless specifically required by the provisions of the Indenture or unless the
Corporation shall subsequently determine to issue Notes in definitive form. A
Holder may transfer or exchange Notes only in accordance with the Indenture.
The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. Also, it need not transfer or exchange any
Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or
before an interest payment date.
This Note is issued in the form of a Global Security and is exchangeable in
whole, but not in part, for Notes registered in the names of Persons other than
the Depositary or its nominee or in the name of a successor to the Depositary or
a nominee of such successor depositary only if (i) the Depositary notifies the
Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this
Note or if at any time such Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, and, in either case, a successor depositary is
not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days of the receipt by the
Corporation of such notice or of the Corporation becoming aware of such
condition, or (ii) the Corporation in its discretion at any time determines not
to have all of the Notes represented by one or more Global Security or
Securities. If this Note is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it
shall be exchangeable for Notes of like tenor and terms in definitive form in
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security.
Subject to the foregoing, this Note is not exchangeable, except for a Note or
Notes of the same aggregate denominations to be registered in the name of such
Depositary or its nominee or in the name of a successor to the Depositary or a
nominee of such successor depositary.
7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be
treated as the owner of it for all purposes, and
-4-
neither the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee, nor any Registrar, Paying
Agent or co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
8. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay, unless
otherwise prohibited by mandatory provisions of applicable abandoned property
law, the money back to the Corporation at its request. After that, Holders
entitled to unclaimed money must look only to the Corporation and not to the
Trustee for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another person.
9. Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any
time of the entire principal of the Securities of any series upon compliance by
the Corporation with certain conditions set forth therein.
10. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions as
therein provided, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with
the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Notes and, subject to certain exceptions and limitations as
provided in the Indenture, any past default or compliance with any provision may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture or the Notes may be
amended or supplemented, for among other reasons, to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to make any change that does
not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder. Without the consent
of any Holder, the Trustee may waive compliance with any provision of the
Indenture or the Notes if the waiver does not materially adversely affect the
rights of any Holder.
11. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit unsecured debt of
the Guarantor or the Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries. It does limit
certain Liens and Sale-Leaseback Transactions. The limitations are subject to a
number of important qualifications and exceptions. Once a year the Guarantor
and the Corporation must report to the Trustee on compliance with the
limitations.
12. Successors. When a successor entity assumes all the obligations of
the Corporation or the Guarantor or either of their successors under the Notes
and the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will be released from those
obligations.
13. Defaults and Remedies. An Event of Default is: default for 30 days
in payment of any interest on the Notes; default in payment of any principal on
the Notes; failure by the Corporation or the Guarantor for 90 days after notice
to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes
or the Guarantees; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an
-5-
Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series and accrued interest
thereon may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or
the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to
enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to
it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a
default in payment of principal or interest) if a committee of its trust
officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of
such Holders.
14. Trustee Dealings with the Corporation. First Trust of Illinois,
National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for
the Guarantor or the Corporation or any of their affiliates, and may otherwise
deal with the Corporation or its affiliates as if it were not Trustee.
15. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or
stockholder (other than the Corporation), as such, of the Corporation or the
Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Corporation or
the Guarantor under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee
manually signs the certificate of authentication above.
17. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship
and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts
to Minors Act).
18. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Corporation had
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Note and has directed the Trustee to
use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to accuracy of any of such numbers either as printed
on the Note or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
19. Miscellaneous. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland.
