▪ | We depend heavily on a single customer, the U.S. Government, for a substantial portion of our business. Changes in this customer’s priorities and spending could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
▪ | Significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our programs and U.S. Government funding more broadly may negatively impact our business and programs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
▪ | As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to various procurement regulations and could be adversely affected by changes in regulations or any negative findings from a U.S. Government audit or investigation. |
▪ | Changes to business practices for U.S. Government contractors could have a significant adverse effect on current programs, potential new awards and the processes by which procurements are awarded and managed. |
▪ | Competition within our markets and an increase in bid protests may reduce our revenues and market share. |
▪ | Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to develop new products and new technologies and maintain technologies, facilities, equipment and a qualified workforce to meet the needs of current and future customers. |
▪ | Many of our contracts contain performance obligations that require innovative design capabilities, are technologically complex, require state-of-the-art manufacturing expertise or are dependent upon factors not wholly within our control. Failure to meet these obligations could adversely affect our profitability and future prospects. |
▪ | Contract cost growth on fixed-price and other contracts that do not result in increased contract value exposes us to reduced profitability and the potential loss of future business. |
▪ | We use estimates when accounting for contracts. Changes in estimates could affect our profitability and our overall financial position. |
▪ | Our earnings and margins depend, in part, on subcontractor performance as well as raw material and component availability and pricing. |
▪ | Changes in future business conditions could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill and other long-lived assets to become impaired, resulting in substantial losses and write-downs that would reduce our operating income. |
▪ | Our international business exposes us to additional risks. |
▪ | Our reputation and our ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of employees, agents or business partners. |
▪ | Our business could be negatively impacted by security threats, including physical and cybersecurity threats, and other disruptions. |
▪ | Unforeseen environmental costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
▪ | We are subject to various claims and litigation that could ultimately be resolved against us. |
▪ | We may be unable adequately to protect our intellectual property rights, which could affect our ability to compete. |
▪ | Our business is subject to disruption caused by natural disasters, environmental disasters and other factors that could adversely affect our profitability and our overall financial position. |
▪ | Our insurance coverage, customer indemnifications or other liability protections may be inadequate to cover all of our significant risks or our insurers may deny coverage of or be unable to pay for material losses we incur, which could adversely affect our profitability and overall financial position. |
▪ | Anticipated benefits of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, spin-offs or strategic alliances may not be realized. |
▪ | Market volatility and adverse capital and credit market conditions may affect our suppliers' ability to access cost-effective sources of funding and expose us to risks associated with the financial viability of suppliers. |
▪ | Pension and medical expenses associated with our retirement benefit plans may fluctuate significantly depending upon changes in actuarial assumptions, future investment performance of plan assets, future trends in health care costs and legislative or other regulatory actions. |
▪ | Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability and cash flow. |
▪ | Our nuclear-related operations subject us to various environmental, regulatory, financial and other risks. |
▪ | If all or any portion of the spin-off of our former Shipbuilding business or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-off transaction are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and our shareholders that are subject to U.S. federal income tax may incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. |
▪ | The spin-off of our former Shipbuilding business may expose us to potential claims and liabilities. |

2.01 | In General. The Plan contains a number of different benefit Programs which are set forth in the Appendices. The Appendices describe the eligibility conditions and the amount of benefits payable under the Programs. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine all eligibility conditions, make all benefit determinations, and otherwise exercise sole authority to interpret the Plan and Programs. |
2.02 | Treatment of 2000 Ad Hoc Increases for Retirees. In no event, however, (1) will this Plan pay any amount of a Participant's retirement benefit, if any, attributable to the “2000 Ad Hoc Increase for Retirees” Appendix added to certain of the Company’s tax-qualified plans pursuant to the Board of Directors resolution adopted May 17, 2000, or (2) will a Participant be entitled to a benefit (or an increased benefit) from or as a result of participation in this Plan under the Board of Directors resolution adopted May 17, 2000. |
2.03 | Forms and Times of Benefit Payments. This Section only applies to Grandfathered Amounts. The Company will determine the form and timing of benefit payments in its sole discretion unless particular rules regarding the form and timing of benefit payments are set forth in a Program or where a lump sum election under Article III is applicable. |
(a) | For payments made to supplement those of a particular tax-qualified retirement or savings plan, the Company will only select among the options available under that plan, using the same actuarial adjustments used in that plan, except in cases of lump sums. |
(b) | Whenever the present value of the amount payable under a particular Program does not exceed $10,000, it will be paid in the form of a single lump sum as of the first of the month following Termination of Employment. The lump sum will be calculated using the factors and methodology described in Section 3.06 below (See Section 2.05 for the rule that applies as of January 1, 2008). |
(c) | No payments will commence under this Plan until a Participant has a Termination of Employment, even in cases where benefits have commenced under a qualified retirement plan for Participants over age 70½, or for any other reason. |
2.04 | Beneficiaries and Spouses. This Section only applies to Grandfathered Amounts. If the Company selects a form of payment which includes a survivor benefit, the Participant may make a beneficiary designation, which may be changed at any time prior to commencement of benefits. A beneficiary designation must be in writing and will be effective only when received by the Company. |
(a) | If a Participant is married on the date his or her benefits are scheduled to commence, his or her beneficiary will be his or her spouse unless some other beneficiary is named with spousal consent. Spousal consent, to be effective, must be submitted in writing before benefits commence and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. No spousal consent is necessary if the Company determines that there is no spouse or that the spouse cannot be found. |
(b) | With respect to Programs designed to supplement tax-qualified retirement or savings plans, the Participant’s spouse will be the spouse as determined under the underlying tax-qualified plan. Otherwise, the Participant’s spouse will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. |
2.05 | Mandatory Cashout. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan, Participants with Grandfathered Amounts who have not commenced payment of such benefits prior to January 1, 2008 will be subject to the following rules: |
(a) | Post-2007 Terminations. Participants who have a Termination of Employment after 2007 will receive a lump sum distribution of the present value of their Grandfathered Amounts under a Program within two months of Termination of Employment (without interest), if such present value is below the Code section 402(g) limit in effect at the Termination of Employment. |
(b) | Pre-2008 Terminations. Participants who had a Termination of Employment before 2008 will receive a lump sum distribution of the present value of their Grandfathered Amounts under a Program within two months of the time they commence payment of their underlying qualified pension plan benefits (without interest), if such present value is below the Code section 402(g) limit in effect at the time such payments commence. |
2.06 | Optional Payment Forms. Participants with Grandfathered Amounts shall be permitted to elect (a) or (b) below: |
(a) | To receive their Grandfathered Amounts in any form of distribution available under the Plan at October 3, 2004, provided that form remains available under the underlying qualified pension plan at the time payment of the Grandfathered Amounts commences. The conversion factors for these distribution forms will be based on the factors or basis in effect under this Plan on October 3, 2004. |
(b) | To receive their Grandfathered Amounts in any life annuity form not included in (a) above but included in the underlying qualified pension plan distribution options at the time payment of the Grandfathered Amounts commences. The conversion factors will be based on the following actuarial assumptions: |
Interest Rate: | 6% |
Mortality Table: | RP-2000 Mortality Table projected 15 years for future standardized cash balance factors |
2.07 | Special Tax Distribution. On the date a Participant's retirement benefit is reasonably ascertainable within the meaning of IRS regulations under Code section 3121(v)(2), an amount equal to the Participant's portion of the FICA tax withholding will be distributed in a single lump sum payment. This payment will be based on all benefits under the Plan, including Grandfathered Amounts. This payment will reduce the Participant's future benefit payments under the Plan on an actuarial basis. |
2.08 | Amendment and Plan Termination. The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part for any reason. This includes the right to amend or eliminate any of the provisions of the Plan with respect to lump sum distributions, including any lump sum calculation factors, whether or not a Participant has already made a lump sum election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall reduce the amount of a Participant's accrued benefit under the Plan as of the date of such amendment or termination. |
2.09 | Not an Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in this Plan gives any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company, nor does it interfere with the right of the Company to discharge or otherwise deal with Participants without regard to the existence of this Plan. |
2.10 | Assignment of Benefits. A Participant, surviving spouse or beneficiary may not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, assign, anticipate, alienate, commute, sell, transfer, pledge or encumber any benefits to which he or she is or may become entitled under the Plan, nor may Plan benefits be subject to attachment or garnishment by any of their creditors or to legal process. |
2.11 | Nonduplication of Benefits. This Section applies if, despite Section 2.10, with respect to any Participant (or his or her beneficiaries), the Company is required to make payments under this Plan to a person or entity other than the payees described in the Plan. In such a case, any amounts due the Participant (or his or her beneficiaries) under this Plan will be reduced by the actuarial value of the payments required to be made to such other person or entity. |
(a) | Actuarial value will be determined using the factors and methodology described in Section 3.06 below (in the case of lump sums) and using the actuarial assumptions in the underlying Pension Plan in all other cases. |
(b) | In dividing a Participant’s benefit between the Participant and another person or entity, consistent actuarial assumptions and methodologies will be used so that there is no increased actuarial cost to the Company. |
2.12 | Funding. Participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company and the Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future. The Company may, but need not, fund benefits under the Plan through a trust. If it does so, any trust created by the Company and any assets held by the trust to assist it in meeting its obligations under the Plan will conform to the terms of the model trust, as described in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 92-64, but only to the extent required by Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 92-65. It is the intention of the Company and Participants that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. |
2.13 | Construction. The Company shall have full discretion to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan, to make factual determinations and to remedy possible inconsistencies and omissions. The Company’s interpretations, constructions and remedies shall be final and binding on all parties, including but not limited to the Affiliated Companies and any Participant or beneficiary. The Company shall administer such terms and provisions in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner and in full accordance with any and all laws applicable to the Plan. |
2.14 | Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except to the extent superseded by federal law. |
2.15 | Actions by Company and Claims Procedures. Any powers exercisable by the Company under the Plan shall be utilized by written resolution adopted by the Board of Directors or its delegate. The Board of Directors may by written resolution delegate any of the Company’s powers under the Plan and any such delegations may provide for subdelegations, also by written resolution. |
2.16 | Plan Representatives. Those authorized to act as Plan representatives will be designated in writing by the Board of Directors or its delegate. |
2.17 | Number. The singular, where appearing in this Plan, will be deemed to include the plural, unless the context clearly indicates the contrary. |
3.01 | In General. This Article sets forth the rules under which Participants may elect to receive their benefits in a lump sum. Except as provided in Section 3.05, this Article does not apply to employees in cases where benefits under a particular Program are automatically payable in lump sum form under Article II. This Article will not apply if a particular Program so provides. |
3.02 | Election. Participants may elect to have their benefits paid in the form of a single lump sum under this Section. |
(a) | An election to take a lump sum may be made at any time during the 60-day period prior to Termination of Employment and covers both— |
(1) | Benefits payable to the Participant during his or her lifetime, and |
(2) | Survivor benefits (if any) payable to the Participant’s beneficiary, including preretirement death benefits (if any) payable to the Participant’s spouse. |
(b) | An election does not become effective until the earlier of: |
(1) | the Participant’s Termination of Employment, or |
(2) | the Participant’s death. |
(c) | Before the election becomes effective, it may be revoked. |
(d) | If a Participant does not have a Termination of Employment within 60 days after making an election, the election will never take effect. |
(e) | An election may only be made once. If it fails to become effective after 60 days or is revoked before becoming effective, it cannot be made again at a later time. |
(f) | After a Participant has a Termination of Employment, no election can be made. |
(g) | If a Participant dies before making a lump sum election, his or her spouse may not make a lump sum election with respect to any benefits which may be due the spouse. |
(h) | Elections to receive a lump sum must be made in writing and must include spousal consent if the Participant is married. Elections and spousal consent must be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. |
3.03 | Lump Sum—Retirement Eligible. If a Participant with a valid lump sum election in effect under Section 3.02 has a Termination of Employment after he or she is entitled to commence benefits under the Pension Plans, payments will be made in accordance with this Section. |
(a) | Monthly benefit payments will be made for up to 12 months, commencing the first of the month following Termination of Employment. Payments will be made: |
(1) | in the case of a Participant who is not married on the date benefits are scheduled to commence, based on a straight life annuity for the Participant’s life and ceasing upon the Participant’s death should he or she die before the 12 months elapse, or |
(2) | in the case of a Participant who is married on the date benefits are scheduled to commence, based on a joint and survivor annuity form— |
(A) | with the survivor benefit equal to 50% of the Participant’s benefit; |
(B) | with the Participant’s spouse as the survivor annuitant; |
(C) | determined by using the contingent annuitant option factors used to convert straight life annuities to 50% joint and survivor annuities under the Northrop Grumman Retirement Plan; and |
(D) | with all payments ceasing upon the death of both the Participant and his or her spouse should they die before the 12 months elapse. |
(b) | As of the first of the 13th month, the present value of the remaining benefit payments will be paid in a single lump sum. Payment of the lump sum will be made to the Participant if he or she is still alive, or, if not, to his or her surviving spouse, if any. |
(c) | No lump sum payment will be made if: |
(1) | The Participant is receiving monthly benefit payments in the form of a straight life annuity and the Participant dies before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
(2) | The Participant is receiving monthly benefit payments in a joint and survivor annuity form and the Participant and his or her spouse both die before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
(d) | A lump sum will be payable to a Participant’s spouse as of the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death, if: |
(1) | the Participant dies after making a valid lump sum election but prior to commencement of any benefits under this Plan; |
(2) | the Participant is survived by a spouse who is entitled to a preretirement surviving spouse benefit under this Plan; and |
(3) | the spouse survives to the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death. |
3.04 | Lump Sum—Not Retirement Eligible. If a Participant with a valid lump sum election in effect under Section 3.02 has a Termination of Employment before he or she is entitled to commence benefits under the Pension Plans, payments will be made in accordance with this Section. |
(a) | No monthly benefit payments will be made. |
(b) | Following Termination of Employment, a single lump sum payment of the benefit will be made on the first of the month following 12 months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment. |
(c) | A lump sum will be payable to a Participant’s spouse as of the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death, if: |
(1) | the Participant dies after making a valid lump sum election but prior to commencement of any benefits under this Plan; |
(2) | the Participant is survived by a spouse who is entitled to a preretirement surviving spouse benefit under this Plan; and |
(3) | the spouse survives to the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death. |
(d) | No lump sum payment will be made if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death and dies before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
3.05 | Lump Sums with CIC Severance Plan Election. A Participant who elects lump sum payments of all his or her nonqualified benefits under the CIC Plans is entitled to have his or her benefits paid as a lump sum calculated under the terms of the applicable CIC Plan. Otherwise, benefit payments are governed by the general provisions of this Article, which provide different rules for calculating the amount of lump sum payments. |
3.06 | Calculation of Lump Sum. |
(a) | The factors to be used in calculating the lump sum are as follows: |
(1) | Interest: Whichever of the following two rates that produces the smaller lump sum: |
(A) | the discount rate used by the Company for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board as disclosed in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the year end immediately preceding the date of distribution, or |
(B) | the applicable interest rate that would be used to calculate a lump sum value for the benefit under the Pension Plans. |
(2) | Mortality: the applicable mortality table, which would be used to calculate a lump sum value for the benefit under the Pension Plans. |
(3) | Increase in Section 415 Limit: 4% per year. |
(4) | Age: Age rounded to the nearest month on the date the lump sum is payable. |
(5) | Variable Unit Values: Variable Unit Values are presumed not to increase for future periods after the date the lump sum is payable. |
(b) | The annuity to be converted to a lump sum will be the remaining annuity currently payable to the Participant or his or her beneficiary at the time the lump sum is due. |
(1) | For example, assume a Participant is receiving benefit payments in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity. |
(2) | If the Participant and the survivor annuitant are both still alive at the time the lump sum payment is due, the present value calculation will be based on the remaining benefits that would be paid to both the Participant and the survivor in the annuity form. |
(3) | If only the survivor is alive, the calculation will be based solely on the remaining 50% survivor benefits that would be paid to the survivor. |
(4) | If only the Participant is alive, the calculation will be based solely on the remaining benefits that would be paid to the Participant. |
(5) | In the case of a Participant who dies prior to commencement of benefits under this Plan so that only a preretirement surviving spouse benefit (if any) is payable, the lump sum will be based solely on the value of the preretirement surviving spouse benefit. |
(c) | In the case of a lump-sum under Section 3.05 (related to lump sums with a CIC Severance Plan election), the lump-sum amount will be calculated as described in that section and the rules of this Section 3.06 are not used. |
3.07 | Spousal consent. Spousal consent, as required for elections as described above, need not be obtained if the Company determines that there is no spouse or the spouse cannot be located. |
1.01 | Election. Participants scheduled to commence payments during 2005 may elect to receive both pre-2005 benefit accruals and 2005 benefit accruals in any optional form of benefit available under the Plan as of December 31, 2004. Participants electing optional forms of benefits under this provision will commence payments on the Participant's selected benefit commencement date. |
1.02 | 2005 Commencements. Pursuant to IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-19 & Q&A-20, Participants commencing payments in 2005 from the Plan may elect a form of distribution from among those available under the Plan on December 31, 2004, and benefit payments shall begin at the time elected by the Participant. |
(a) | Key Employees. A Key Employee Separating from Service on or after July 1, 2005, with Plan distributions subject to Code section 409A scheduled to be paid in 2006 and within six months of his date of Separation from Service, shall have such distributions delayed for six months from the Key Employee's date of Separation from Service. The delayed distributions shall be paid as a single sum with interest at the end of the six month period and Plan distributions will resume as scheduled at such time. Interest shall be computed using the retroactive annuity starting date rate in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan on a month-by-month basis during such period (i.e., the rate may change in the event the period spans two calendar years). Alternatively, the Key Employee may elect under IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-20 to have such distributions accelerated and paid in 2005 without the interest adjustment, provided, such election is made in 2005. |
(b) | Lump Sum Option. During 2005, a temporary immediate lump sum feature shall be available as follows: |
(i) | In order to elect a lump sum payment pursuant to IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-20, a Participant must be an elected or appointed officer of the Company and eligible to commence payments under the underlying qualified pension plan on or after June 1, 2005 and on or before December 1, 2005; |
(ii) | The lump sum payment shall be made in 2005 as soon as feasible after the election; and |
(iii) | Interest and mortality assumptions and methodology for calculating lump sum amount shall be based on the Plan's procedures for calculating lump sums as of December 31, 2004. |
1.03 | 2006 and 2007 Commencements. Pursuant to IRS transition relief, for all benefit commencement dates in 2006 and 2007 (provided election is made in 2006 or 2007), distribution of Plan benefits subject to Code section 409A shall begin 12 months after the later of: (a) the Participant's benefit election date, or (b) the underlying qualified pension plan benefit commencement date (as specified in the Participant's benefit election form). Payments delayed during this 12-month period will be paid at the end of the period with interest. Interest shall be computed using the retroactive annuity starting date rate in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan on a month-by-month basis during such period (i.e., the rate may change in the event the period spans two calendar years). |
2.01 | Time of Distribution. Subject to the special rules provided in this Appendix 2, distributions to a Participant of his vested retirement benefit shall commence as of the Payment Date. |
2.02 | Special Rule for Key Employees. If a Participant is a Key Employee and age 55 or older at his Separation from Service, distributions to the Participant shall commence on the first day of the seventh month following the date of his Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant's death). Amounts otherwise payable to the Participant during such period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Separation from Service, along with interest on the delayed payments. Interest shall be computed using the retroactive annuity starting date rate in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan on a month-by-month basis during such delay (i.e., the rate may change in the event the delay spans two calendar years). |
2.03 | Forms of Distribution. Subject to the special rules provided in this Appendix 2, a Participant's vested retirement benefit shall be distributed in the form of a single life annuity. However, a Participant may elect an optional form of benefit up until the Payment Date. The optional forms of payment are: |
(a) | 50% joint and survivor annuity |
(b) | 75% joint and survivor annuity |
(c) | 100% joint and survivor annuity. |
2.04 | Death. If a married Participant dies before the Payment Date, a death benefit will be payable to the Participant's spouse commencing 90 days after the Participant's death. The death benefit will be a single life annuity in an amount equal to the survivor portion of a Participant's vested retirement benefit based on a 100% joint and survivor annuity determined on the Participant's date of death. This benefit is also payable to a |
2.05 | Actuarial Assumptions. Except as provided in Section 2.06 of this Appendix 2, all forms of payment under this Appendix 2 shall be actuarially equivalent life annuity forms of payment, and all conversions from one such form to another shall be based on the following actuarial assumptions: |
Interest Rate: | 6% |
Mortality Table: | RP-2000 Mortality Table projected 15 years for future standardized cash balance factors |
2.06 | Accelerated Lump Sum Payouts. |
(a) | Post-2007 Separations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Appendix 2, for Participants who Separate from Service on or after January 1, 2008, if the present value of (a) the vested portion of a Participant's retirement benefit and (b) other vested amounts under nonaccount balance plans that are aggregated with the retirement benefit under Code section 409A, determined on the first of the month coincident with or following the date of his Separation from Service, is less than or equal to $25,000, such benefit amount shall be distributed to the Participant (or his spouse or domestic partner, if applicable) in a lump sum payment. Subject to the special timing rule for Key Employees under Section 2.02 of this Appendix 2, the lump sum payment shall be made within 90 days after the first of the month coincident with or following the date of the Participant's Separation from Service. |
(b) | Pre-2008 Separations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Appendix 2, for Participants who Separate from Service before January 1, 2008, if the present value of (a) the vested portion of a Participant's retirement benefit and (b) other vested amounts under nonaccount balance plans that are aggregated with the retirement benefit under Code section 409A, determined on the first of the month coincident with or following the date the Participant attains age 55, is less than or equal to $25,000, such benefit amount shall be distributed to the Participant (or his spouse or domestic partner, if applicable) in a lump sum payment within 90 days after the first of the month coincident with or following the date the Participant attains age 55, but no earlier that January 1, 2008. |
(c) | Conflicts of Interest. The present value of a Participant's vested retirement benefit shall also be payable in an immediate lump sum to the extent required under conflict of interest rules for government service and permissible under Code section 409A. |
(d) | Present Value Calculation. The conversion of a Participant's retirement benefit into a lump sum payment and the present value calculations under this Section 2.06 of this Appendix 2 shall be based on the actuarial assumptions in effect under |
2.07 | Effect of Early Taxation. If a Participant's benefits under the Plan are includible in income pursuant to Code section 409A, the Company shall have the discretion to accelerate the distribution of all or a portion of such includible benefits to the Participant, provided that the Participant shall not be given a direct or indirect election as to whether such discretion is exercised. |
2.08 | Permitted Delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment to a Participant under the Plan shall be delayed upon the Company's reasonable anticipation of one or more of the following events: |
(a) | The Company's deduction with respect to such payment would be eliminated by application of Code section 162(m); or |
(b) | The making of the payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law; |

1.12 | Separation from Service or Separates from Service. A "separation from service" within the meaning of Code section 409A. |

(b) | A Participant will have a Termination of Employment if he or she leaves the Affiliated Companies because the affiliate he or she works for ceases to be an Affiliated Company because it is sold or spunoff. |
2.01 | Purpose.

2.07 | Plan Termination. No further benefits may be earned under this Plan with respect to a particular Pension Plan after the termination of such Pension Plan. |
2.08 | Pension Plan Benefits. The term “Pension Plan Benefits” generally means the benefits actually payable to a Participant, spouse, beneficiary or contingent annuitant under a Pension Plan. However, this Plan is only intended to remedy pension reductions caused by the operation of section 415 and not reductions caused for any other reason. In those instances where pension benefits are reduced for some other reason, the term “Pension Plan Benefits” shall be deemed to mean the benefits that would have been actually payable but for such other reason. |
(a) | A reduction in pension benefits as a result of a distress termination (as described in ERISA § 4041(c) or any comparable successor provision of law) of a Pension Plan. In such a case, the Pension Plan Benefits will be deemed to refer to the payments that would have been made from the Pension Plan had it terminated on a fully funded basis as a standard termination (as described in ERISA § 4041(b) or any comparable successor provision of law). |
(b) | A reduction of accrued benefits as permitted under Code section 412(c)(8), as amended, or any comparable successor provision of law. |

(a) | Post-2007 Terminations.

(b) | Pre-2008 Terminations. Participants who had a Termination of Employment before 2008 will receive a lump sum distribution of the present value of their Grandfathered Amounts within two months of the time they commence payment of their underlying qualified pension plan benefits (without interest), if such present value is below the Code section 402(g) limit in effect at the time such payments commence. |
2.10 | Optional Payment Forms. Participants with Grandfathered Amounts shall be permitted to elect (a) or (b) below: |
(a) | To receive their Grandfathered Amounts in any form of distribution available under the Plan at October 3, 2004, provided that form remains available under the underlying qualified pension plan at the time payment of the Grandfathered Amounts commences. The conversion factors for these distribution forms will be based on the factors or basis in effect under this Plan on October 3, 2004. |
(b) | To receive their Grandfathered Amounts in any life annuity form not included in (a) above but included in the underlying qualified pension plan distribution options at the time payment of the Grandfathered Amounts commences. The conversion factors will be based on the following actuarial assumptions: |
Interest Rate: | 6% |
Mortality Table: | RP-2000 Mortality Table projected 15 years for future standardized cash balance factors |
2.11 | Special Tax Distribution. On the date a Participant's retirement benefit is reasonably ascertainable within the meaning of IRS regulations under Code section 3121(v)(2), an amount equal to the Participant's portion of the FICA tax withholding will be distributed in a single lump sum payment. This payment will be based on all benefits under the Plan, including Grandfathered Amounts. This payment will reduce the Participant's future benefit payments under the Plan on an actuarial basis. |
3.01 | In General. This Article sets forth the rules under which Participants may elect to receive their benefits in a lump sum. Except as provided in Section 3.08, this Article does not apply to active employees (as defined in Section 3.04) in cases where benefits are automatically payable in lump sum form under Article II. |
3.02 | Retirees Election. Participants and Participants’ beneficiaries already receiving monthly benefits under the Plan at its inception will be given a one-time opportunity to elect a lump sum payout of future benefit payments. |
(a) | The election must be made within a 60-day period determined by the Company. Within its discretion, the Company may delay the commencement of the 60-day period in instances where the Company is unable to timely communicate with a particular payee. |
(b) | The determination as to whether a payee is already receiving monthly benefits will be made at the beginning of the 60-day period. |
(c) | An election to take a lump sum must be accompanied by a waiver of the existing retiree medical benefits by those Participants (and their covered spouses or surviving spouses) entitled either to have such benefits entirely paid for by the Company or to receive such benefits as a result of their classification as an employee under Executive Class Code II. |
(d) | If the person receiving payments as of the beginning of the 60-day period dies prior to making a lump sum election, his or her beneficiary, if any, may not make the lump sum election. |
(e) | Elections to receive a lump sum (and waivers under (c)) must be made in writing and must include spousal consent if the payee (whether the Participant or beneficiary) is married. Elections and spousal consent must be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. |
(f) | An election (with spousal consent, where required) to receive the lump sum made at any time during the 60-day period will be irrevocable. If no proper election has been made by the end of the 60-day period, payments will continue unchanged in the monthly form that had previously been applicable. |
3.03 | Retirees Lump Sum. If a retired Participant or beneficiary makes a valid election under Section 3.02 within the 60-day period, monthly payments will continue in the previously applicable form for 12 months (assuming the payees live that long). |
(a) | As of the first of the 13th month, the present value of the remaining benefit payments will be paid in a single lump sum to the Participant, if alive, or, if not, to the beneficiary under the previously applicable form of payment. |
(b) | No lump sum payment will be made if: |
(1) | The Participant is receiving monthly benefit payments in a form that does not provide for survivor benefits and the Participant dies before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
(2) | The Participant is receiving monthly benefit payments in a form that does provide for survivor benefits but the Participant and the beneficiary die before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
(c) | The following rules apply where payment is being made in the form of a 10-year certain and continuous life annuity option: |
(1) | If the Participant is deceased at the commencement of the 60-day election period, the surviving beneficiary may not make the election if there are less than 13 months left in the 10-year certain period. |
(2) | If the Participant elects the lump sum and dies prior to the first of the 13th month: |
(A) | if the 10-year certain period has already ended, all monthly payments will cease at the Participant’s death and no lump sum payment will be made; |
(B) | if the 10-year certain period ends after the Participant’s death and before the beginning of the 13th month, monthly payments will end at the end of the 10-year certain period and no lump sum payment will be made; and |
(C) | if the 10-year certain period ends after the beginning of the 13th month, monthly payments will continue through the 12th month, and a lump sum payment will be made as of the first of the 13th month, equal to the present value of the remaining benefit payments. |
3.04 | Actives Election. Active Participants may elect to have their benefits paid in the form of a single lump sum under this Section. |
(a) | A Participant is considered to be “Active” under this Section if he or she is still employed by the Affiliated Companies on or after the beginning of the initial 60-day period referred to in Section 3.02. |
(b) | An election to take a lump sum may be made at any time during the 60-day period prior to Termination of Employment and covers both— |

(2) | Survivor benefits (if any) payable to the Participant’s beneficiary, including preretirement death benefits (if any) payable to the Participant’s spouse. |
(c) | An election does not become effective until the earlier of |
(1) | the Participant’s Termination of Employment, or |
(2) | the Participant’s death. |
(d) | An election may only be made once. If it fails to become effective after 60 days or is revoked before becoming effective, it cannot be made again at a later time. |
(e) | After a Participant has a Termination of Employment, no election can be made. |
(f) | If a Participant dies before making a lump sum election, his or her spouse may not make a lump sum election with respect to any benefits which may be due the spouse. |
(g) | Elections to receive a lump sum must be made in writing and must include spousal consent if the Participant is married. Elections and spousal consent must be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. |
3.05 | Actives Lump Sum – Retirement Eligible. If a Participant with a valid lump sum election in effect under Section 3.04 has a Termination of Employment after he or she is entitled to commence benefits under the Pension Plans, payments will be made in accordance with this Section. |
(a) | Monthly benefit payments will be made for up to 12 months, commencing the first of the month following Termination of Employment. Payments will be made: |
(1) | in the case of a Participant who is not married on the date benefits are scheduled to commence, based on a straight life annuity for the Participant’s life and ceasing upon the Participant’s death should he or she die before the 12 months elapse, or |
(2) | in the case of a Participant who is married on the date benefits are scheduled to commence, based on a joint and survivor annuity form — |
(A) | with the survivor benefit equal to 50% of the Participant’s benefit; |
(B) | with the Participant’s spouse as the survivor annuitant; |
(C) | determined by using the contingent annuitant option factors used to convert straight life annuities to 50% joint and survivor annuities under the Northrop Retirement Plan; and |
(D) | with all payments ceasing upon the death of both the Participant and his or her spouse should they die before the 12 months elapse. |
(b) | As of the first of the 13th month, the present value of the remaining benefit payments will be paid in a single lump sum. Payment of the lump sum will be made to the Participant if he or she is still alive, or, if not, to his or her surviving spouse, if any. |
(c) | No lump sum payment will be made if: |
(1) | The Participant is receiving monthly benefit payments in the form of a straight life annuity and the Participant dies before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
(2) | The Participant is receiving monthly benefit payments in a joint and survivor annuity form and the Participant and his or her spouse both die before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
(d) | A lump sum will be payable to a Participant’s spouse as of the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death, if: |
(1) | the Participant dies after making a valid lump sum election but prior to commencement of any benefits under this Plan; |
(2) | the Participant is survived by a spouse who is entitled to a preretirement surviving spouse benefit under this Plan; and |
(3) | the spouse survives to the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death. |
3.06 | Actives Lump Sum – Not Retirement Eligible. If a Participant with a valid lump sum election in effect under Section 3.04, has a Termination of Employment before he or she is entitled to commence benefits under the Pension Plans, payments will be made in accordance with this Section. |
(a) | No monthly benefit payments will be made. |
(b) | Following Termination of Employment, a single lump sum payment of the benefit will be made on the first of the month following 12 months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment. |
(c) | A lump sum will be payable to a Participant’s spouse as of the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death, if: |
(1) | the Participant dies after making a valid lump sum election but prior to commencement of any benefits under this Plan; |
(2) | the Participant is survived by a spouse who is entitled to a preretirement surviving spouse benefit under this Plan; and |
(3) | the spouse survives to the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death. |
(d) | No lump sum payment will be made if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death and dies before the time the lump sum payment is due. |
3.07 | Lump Sums with CIC Severance Plan Election. A Participant who elects lump sum payments of all his or her nonqualified benefits under the CIC Plans is entitled to have his or her benefits paid as a lump sum calculated under the terms of the applicable CIC Plan. Otherwise, benefit payments are governed by the general provisions of this Article, which provide different rules for calculating the amount of lump sum payments. |
3.08 | Calculation of Lump Sum. The factors to be used in calculating the lump sum are as follows: |
(1) | the discount rate used by the Company for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board as disclosed in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the year end immediately preceding the date of distribution, or |
(2) | the applicable interest rate that would be used to calculate a lump sum value for the benefit under the Pension Plans. |
3.09 | Spousal Consent. Spousal consent, as required for elections as described above, need not be obtained if the Company determines that there is no spouse or the spouse cannot be located. |
4.01 | Amendment and Plan Termination. The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part for any reason. This includes the right to amend or eliminate any of the provisions of the Plan with respect to lump sum distributions, including any lump sum calculation factors, |
4.02 | Not an Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in this Plan gives any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company, nor does it interfere with the right of the Company to discharge or otherwise deal with Participants without regard to the existence of this Plan. |
4.03 | Assignment of Benefits. A Participant, surviving spouse or beneficiary may not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, assign, anticipate, alienate, commute, sell, transfer, pledge or encumber any benefits to which he or she is or may become entitled under the Plan, nor may Plan benefits be subject to attachment or garnishment by any of their creditors or to legal process. |
(2) | relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant; |
(3) | creates or recognizes the right of a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant to receive all or a portion of the Participant's benefits under the Plan; and |
(4) | meets such other requirements established by the plan administrator. |
4.04 | Nonduplication of Benefits. This Section applies if, despite Section 4.03, with respect to any Participant (or his or her beneficiaries), the Company is required to make payments under this Plan to a person or entity other than the payees described in the Plan. In such a case, any amounts due the Participant (or his or her beneficiaries) under this Plan will be reduced by the actuarial value of the payments required to be made to such other person or entity. |
4.05 | Funding. Participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company and the Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future. The Company may, but need not, fund benefits under the Plan through a trust. If it does so, any trust created by the Company and any assets held by the trust to assist it in meeting its obligations under the Plan will conform to the terms of the model trust, as described in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 92-64, but only to the extent required by Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 92-65. It is the intention of the Company and Participants that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. |
4.06 | Construction. The Company shall have full discretionary authority to determine eligibility and to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan, including the power to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions. |
4.07 | Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except to the extent superseded by federal law. |
4.08 | Actions By Company and Claims Procedures. Any powers exercisable by the Company under the Plan shall be utilized by written resolution adopted by the Board of Directors or its delegate.

4.12 | Liabilities Transferred to HII. Northrop Grumman Corporation distributed its interest in Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ("HII) to its shareholders on March 31, 2011 (the "HII Distribution Date"). Pursuant to an agreement between Northrop Grumman Corporation and HII, on the HII Distribution Date certain employees and former employees of HII ceased to participate in the Plan and the liabilities for these participants' benefits under the Plan were transferred to HII. On and after the HII Distribution Date, the Company and the Plan, and any successors thereto, shall have no further obligation or liability to any such participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the Plan. |
A.01 | Election. Participants scheduled to commence payments during 2005 may elect to receive both pre-2005 benefit accruals and 2005 benefit accruals in any optional form of benefit available under the Plan as of December 31, 2004. Participants electing optional forms of benefits under this provision will commence payments on the Participant's selected benefit commencement date. |
A.02 | 2005 Commencements. Pursuant to IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-19 & Q&A-20, Participants commencing payments in 2005 from the Plan may elect a form of distribution from among those available under the Plan on December 31, 2004, and benefit payments shall begin at the time elected by the Participant. |
(a) | Key Employees. A Key Employee Separating from Service on or after July 1, 2005, with Plan distributions subject to Code section 409A scheduled to be paid in 2006 and within six months of his date of Separation from Service, shall have such distributions delayed for six months from the Key Employee's date of Separation from Service. The delayed distributions shall be paid as a single sum with interest at the end of the six month period and Plan distributions will resume as scheduled at such time. Interest shall be computed using the retroactive annuity starting date rate in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan on a month-by-month basis during such period (i.e., the rate may change in the event the period spans two calendar years). Alternatively, the Key Employee may elect under IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-20 to have such distributions accelerated and paid in 2005 without the interest adjustment, provided, such election is made in 2005. |
(b) | Lump Sum Option. During 2005, a temporary immediate lump sum feature shall be available as follows: |
(i) | In order to elect a lump sum payment pursuant to IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-20, a Participant must be an elected or appointed officer of the Company and eligible to commence payments under the underlying qualified pension plan on or after June 1, 2005 and on or before December 1, 2005; |
(ii) | The lump sum payment shall be made in 2005 as soon as feasible after the election; and |
(iii) | Interest and mortality assumptions and methodology for calculating lump sum amount shall be based on the Plan's procedures for calculating lump sums as of December 31, 2004. |
A.03 | 2006 and 2007 Commencements. Pursuant to IRS transition relief, for all benefit commencement dates in 2006 and 2007 (provided election is made in 2006 or 2007), distribution of Plan benefits subject to Code section 409A shall begin 12 months after the later of: (a) the Participant's benefit election date, or (b) the underlying qualified pension plan benefit commencement date (as specified in the Participant's benefit election form). Payments delayed during this 12-month period will be paid at the end of the period with interest. Interest shall be computed using the retroactive annuity starting date rate in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan on a month-by-month basis during such period (i.e., the rate may change in the event the period spans two calendar years). |
B.01 | Time of Distribution. Subject to the special rules provided in this Appendix B, distributions to a Participant of his vested retirement benefit shall commence as of the Payment Date. |
B.02 | Special Rule for Key Employees. If a Participant is a Key Employee and age 55 or older at his Separation from Service, distributions to the Participant shall commence on the first day of the seventh month following the date of his Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant's death). Amounts otherwise payable to the Participant during such period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Separation from Service, along with interest on the delayed payments. Interest shall be computed using the retroactive annuity starting date rate in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan on a month-by-month basis during such delay (i.e., the rate may change in the event the delay spans two calendar years). |
B.03 | Forms of Distribution. Subject to the special rules provided in this Appendix B, a Participant's vested retirement benefit shall be distributed in the form of a single life annuity. However, a Participant may elect an optional form of benefit up until the Payment Date. The optional forms of payment are: |
(a) | 50% joint and survivor annuity |
(b) | 75% joint and survivor annuity |
(c) | 100% joint and survivor annuity. |
B.04 | Death. If a married Participant dies before the Payment Date, a death benefit will be payable to the Participant's spouse commencing 90 days after the Participant's death. The death benefit will be a single life annuity in an amount equal to the survivor portion of a Participant's vested retirement benefit based on a 100% joint and survivor annuity determined on the Participant's date of death. This benefit is also payable to a |
B.05 | Actuarial Assumptions. Except as provided in Section B.06, all forms of payment under this Appendix B shall be actuarially equivalent life annuity forms of payment, and all conversions from one such form to another shall be based on the following actuarial assumptions: |
Interest Rate: | 6% |
Mortality Table: | RP-2000 Mortality Table projected 15 years for future standardized cash balance factors |
B.06 | Accelerated Lump Sum Payouts. |
(a) | Post-2007 Separations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Appendix B, for Participants who Separate from Service on or after January 1, 2008, if the present value of (a) the vested portion of a Participant's retirement benefit and (b) other vested amounts under nonaccount balance plans that are aggregated with the retirement benefit under Code section 409A, determined on the first of the month coincident with or following the date of his Separation from Service, is less than or equal to $25,000, such benefit amount shall be distributed to the Participant (or his spouse or domestic partner, if applicable) in a lump sum payment. Subject to the special timing rule for Key Employees under Section B.02, the lump sum payment shall be made within 90 days after the first of the month coincident with or following the date of the Participant's Separation from Service. |
(b) | Pre-2008 Separations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Appendix B, for Participants who Separate from Service before January 1, 2008, if the present value of (a) the vested portion of a Participant's retirement benefit and (b) other vested amounts under nonaccount balance plans that are aggregated with the retirement benefit under Code section 409A, determined on the first of the month coincident with or following the date the Participant attains age 55, is less than or equal to $25,000, such benefit amount shall be distributed to the Participant (or his spouse or domestic partner, if applicable) in a lump sum payment within 90 days after the first of the month coincident with or following the date the Participant attains age 55, but no earlier that January 1, 2008. |
(c) | Conflicts of Interest. The present value of a Participant's vested retirement benefit shall also be payable in an immediate lump sum to the extent required under conflict of interest rules for government service and permissible under Code section 409A. |
(d) | Present Value Calculation. The conversion of a Participant's retirement benefit into a lump sum payment and the present value calculations under this Section B.06 shall be based on the actuarial assumptions in effect under the Northrop Grumman Pension Plan for purposes of calculating lump sum amounts, and will |
B.07 | Effect of Early Taxation. If a Participant's benefits under the Plan are includible in income pursuant to Code section 409A, the Company shall have the discretion to accelerate the distribution of all or a portion of such includible benefits to the Participant, provided that the Participant shall not be given a direct or indirect election as to whether such discretion is exercised. |
B.08 | Permitted Delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment to a Participant under the Plan shall be delayed upon the Company's reasonable anticipation of one or more of the following events: |
(a) | The Company's deduction with respect to such payment would be eliminated by application of Code section 162(m); or |
(b) | The making of the payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law; |
