Date. 

  

	6.4	Vesting Schedule - An Affected Employee shall be vested in his annual retirement benefit under the Plan according to the Company purchased retirement benefit vesting schedule
under the Litton Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan “B”, as amended from time to time, except that: (i) for purposes of this Plan only, on the Disability Retirement Date of any Affected Employee, such Affected Employee shall become one

commenced receiving an annual retirement benefit pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, whichever is applicable, on the day before his death, in the form of a joint and survivor income annuity computed in accordance with Section 9.1. In the case of
an Affected Employee who dies before commencing to receive an annual retirement benefit and before he has attained his Early Retirement Date, the amount of such annual benefit to which such Affected Employee’s surviving Spouse shall be entitled

Date under Section 5.1 or to his Early Retirement Date under Section 5.2, if applicable, and commenced receiving his annual retirement benefit in the form of a joint and survivor income annuity computed in accordance with Section 9.1 on his Normal

	8.2	Transfer of Employment - If an Affected Employee transfers from a category of employment covered by the Plan to a category of employment not covered by the Plan with Litton
Industries, Inc., with any Affiliate Company or Designated Foreign Corporation, said Affected Employee shall be deemed not to have incurred a Termination of Employment.

Affected Employee, for the life of the surviving Spouse. Payments will cease with the last payment made prior to the date of the death of the surviving Spouse. Such annual retirement benefit shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of a straight life
annuity computed in accordance with Section 6.1, Section 6.2, or Section 6.3, whichever is applicable, payable for the life of the Affected Employee. Any such survivor benefit shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the annual retirement

	9.3	Spousal Death Within Two Years After Retirement - Notwithstanding Section 9.1, if the Spouse of an Affected Employee who is married at the time he attains Retirement

benefit shall, commencing with the first retirement benefit payment payable as of the first day of the calendar month after the calendar month during which the death of his Spouse occurred, be converted to an annual retirement benefit computed
pursuant to Section 9.2 in an annual amount equal to the amount of the annual retirement benefit the Affected Employee would have received at the time of and based on his age at the date of his Retirement.

 An Affected Employee may elect in writing to the Plan Administrator, within the ninety (90) day period prior to his commencement of benefits, to be paid

surviving Spouse in a monthly amount equal to one of the following: fifty percent (50%) or seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount payable to the Affected Employee during his life.

Affected Employee for life. Upon his death, if he has not received one hundred twenty (120) monthly payments, a monthly benefit, equal to that payable to the Affected Employee during his life, shall be paid to his designated Beneficiary until the
number of monthly payments received by the Affected Employee and his designated Beneficiary equals one hundred and twenty (120). The designated Beneficiary may elect an additional Beneficiary to receive any monthly payment then still owing in the
event of the death of the first Beneficiary prior to the number of monthly payments equaling one hundred and twenty. If there is ever a circumstance where no Beneficiary is alive for purposes of receiving payments pursuant to this Subsection 9.4(c)
of the Plan then the estate of the last named Beneficiary may elect to receive the then Actuarial Equivalent, determined in accordance with Subsection 6.05(c) of the Litton Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan “B”, of any remaining payments in
a lump sum amount which will be payable by the Plan as soon as practicable thereafter. 

  

	 	(d)	“Contingent Annuitant Annuity” means an annuity that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the form of annuity provided under Section 9.2 which provides a reduced monthly benefit

for such Affected Employee or surviving Spouse in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of such benefit claim under the Plan. As

	10.2	Dispute as to Benefit Payments - Upon written notice to the Plan Administrator that there is a dispute as to the proper recipient of any benefits not yet distributed under
the Plan, the Plan Administrator may in his sole discretion enter into any arrangement necessary to prevent the benefits from being paid to the wrong party until the dispute shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled
by the claimants concerned. 

  

	10.3	No Contract of Employment - Nothing herein contained shall be construed as giving any Affected Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Company, nor upon
dismissal or upon his voluntary Termination of Employment, to have any right or interest in this Plan other than as provided herein. 

  

	10.4	Commutation of Benefit - If the amount of the annual retirement benefit payable hereunder to any Affected Employee or his surviving Spouse is less than five thousand dollars

 Section 11 - Amendment or Discontinuance 
  

	11.1	Amendment of Plan – Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b) below, unless otherwise stated in a particular amendment, Litton Industries, Inc., or its corporate
successor, is designated the agent for the Company to alter, amend or change the Plan on behalf of all the Participating Divisions and Subsidiaries enumerated in Section 2; and each Participating Division or Subsidiary agrees, so long as it shall be
a Participating Division or Subsidiary under the Plan, to be governed by the resolutions of the agent acting on behalf of the Participating Divisions and Subsidiaries. The Company may amend the Plan in its sole discretion in any manner or at any
time. No amendment to the Plan shall retroactively adversely affect benefits to which the Affected Employees are entitled. 

  

			
	11.1(b)	 	On or after a Change of Control, any amendment, termination, or suspension of the Plan shall be effective only upon the written consent of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of Affected
Employees.

  

	11.2	Freezing Plan Benefits - The Company intends and expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but necessarily reserves the right at any time to discontinue, in whole or part,
future benefits under the Plan. No Affected Employee shall have any rights to benefits beyond the freeze date. Solely for purposes of computing the Affected Employee’s vesting under Section 6.4, Year(s) of Service, if any, with the Company
after the freeze date shall be taken into account. 

  

 - 13 - 









	11.3	Termination of Plan - The Company intends and expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but necessarily reserves the right at any time or times to terminate the Plan
(including the partial termination of the Plan). If the Plan is so terminated and is not continued by a successor employer or merged into another plan of the Company or a successor employer, each Affected Employee who is employed by the Company at
such time shall be vested one hundred percent (100%) in his annual retirement benefit, notwithstanding the actual number of his Year(s) of Service.
