LOCKHEED XXXXXX CORPORATION
8.50% Debenture due December 1, 2029
1. Interest. Lockheed Xxxxxx Corporation ("Corporation"), a Maryland
corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Debenture
at the rate per annum shown above. The Corporation will pay interest
semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Interest on the Debentures
will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from November 23, 1999. 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
Debentures (except defaulted interest, which shall be paid as set forth below)
to the persons who are registered Holders of Debentures at the close of business
on the record date for the next interest payment date even though the Debentures
are canceled 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 Debenture (or one or more predecessor
Debentures) 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 Debentures 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
Debentures to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Corporation will
pay principal and interest in money of the
-2-
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 Debentures and shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest at the same rate.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust 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 Debentures under an Indenture
dated as of November 18, 1999 ("Indenture"), between the Corporation and the
Trustee. The terms of the Debentures 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 Debentures 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. As provided
in the Indenture, the Debentures 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 in the Indenture
provided or permitted. This Debenture is one of a series of the Debentures
designated on the face hereof, unlimited in aggregate principal amount.
5. Optional Redemption. The Corporation may redeem all the Debentures at
any time, or some of them from time to time, at the option of the Corporation at
the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures or (b) the sum
of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Debentures,
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis
points. In either case, the redemption price will also include interest accrued
to the date of redemption on the principal balance of the Debentures being
redeemed.
"Treasury Rate" means, for any redemption date, the annual rate equal to
the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue equal to the Comparable Treasury Price, expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount, for that redemption date. The yield of the Comparable
Treasury Issue will be computed as of the second business day immediately
preceding the redemption date.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by one of the investment banking firms named below that would be used,
at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
applicable remaining term of the Debentures.
The investment banks that may be used to select a Comparable Treasury Issue
for this purpose are Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., each
of their successors, and
-3-
any two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that the
Corporation appoints from time to time that are primary dealers of U.S.
government securities in New York City, each of whom is referred to as a
"Reference Treasury Dealer." If any of the firms named in the preceding sentence
ceases to be a primary dealer of U.S. government securities in New York City,
the Corporation will appoint another nationally recognized investment banking
firm as a substitute.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, for any redemption date:
(1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained
by the Trustee for that redemption date after excluding the highest and
lowest of those Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or
(2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all those quotations.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage
of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the trustee by a Reference
Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third business day
preceding that redemption date. The Trustee shall seek Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations in respect of any redemption date from each of the then-existing
Reference Treasury Dealers.
"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each Debenture
being redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on
that Debenture that would be due after the related redemption date but for the
redemption. If, however, the redemption date is not an interest payment date
with respect to that Debenture, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled
interest payment on that Debenture that would have been due will be reduced by
the amount of interest accrued on the Debenture to the redemption date.
6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 20
days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
Debentures to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address. Debentures in a
denomination larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue
on Debentures or portions of them called for redemption.
7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Debentures are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple of $1,000. A
Holder may transfer or exchange Debentures 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
Debentures for a period of 15 days before a selection of Debentures to be
redeemed or before an interest payment date.
This Debenture is issued in the form of a Global Security and is
exchangeable in whole, but not in part, for Debentures registered in the names
of persons other than the
-4-
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
Debenture 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 Debentures represented by one or more Global Security or
Securities. If this Debenture is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding
sentence, it shall be exchangeable for Debentures 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 Debenture is not
exchangeable, except for a Debenture or Debentures 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.
8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Debenture may be
treated as the owner of it for all purposes, and neither the Corporation, the
Trustee, nor any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
9. 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.
10. Defeasance. The Corporation may discharge or defease certain of its
obligations with respect to the Debentures by irrevocably depositing with the
Trustee, in trust, cash or government securities sufficient to pay all sums due
on the Debentures. The establishment of such a trust will be conditioned on the
delivery by the Corporation to the Trustee of an opinion of counsel, who may be
counsel to the Corporation, to the effect that, based on applicable U.S. federal
income tax law or a ruling published by the United States Internal Revenue
Service, the defeasance and discharge will not be deemed, or result in, a
taxable event with respect to the Holders of the Debentures.
11. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions as
therein provided, the Indenture or the Debentures may be amended or supplemented
with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Debentures, 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 Debentures. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture or the
Debentures may be amended or supplemented, for among other reasons, to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated
Debentures in addition to or in place of certificated Debentures 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 Debentures if the waiver does not materially
adversely affect the rights of any Holder.
-5-
12. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit unsecured debt of
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. It does limit certain mortgages,
liens and sale-leaseback transactions. The limitations are subject to a number
of important qualifications and exceptions. Once a year the Corporation must
report to the Trustee on compliance with the limitations.
13. Successors. When a successor entity assumes all the obligations of
the Corporation or its successors under the Debentures and the Indenture, the
predecessor corporation will be released from those obligations.
14. Defaults and Remedies. An Event of Default is: default for 30 days in
payment of any interest on the Debentures; default in payment of any principal
on the Debentures; failure by the Corporation for 90 days after notice to it to
comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or the Debentures; and
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an Event of Default with respect
to Debentures of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Debentures 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
Debentures may not enforce the Indenture or the Debentures except as provided in
the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the
Debentures unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures 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.
15. Trustee Dealings with the Corporation. U.S. Bank Trust 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
Corporation or any of its affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Corporation or its affiliates as if it were not Trustee.
16. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or
stockholder, as such, of the Corporation shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Corporation under the Debentures 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 Debenture waives and releases all such
liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue
of the Debentures.
17. Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid until the Trustee
manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this
Debenture.
18. 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).
19. 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 Debenture and has directed the Trustee
to use CUSIP numbers in notices of
-6-
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to accuracy
of any of such numbers either as printed on the Debenture or as contained in any
notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers placed thereon.
20. Miscellaneous. This Debenture shall for all purposes be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland.
All terms used in this Debenture which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
-7-
The Corporation will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: Lockheed Xxxxxx
Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention:
Secretary.
