Section 2.06 Members. Upon the formation of the Company, at all times prior to the Closing and immediately prior to the Closing, each of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall have a 50% membership interest in the Company. As of the Closing, each of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall transfer either (i) a portion of its membership interest in the Company to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly owned domestic Subsidiaries, or (ii) its entire membership interest in the Company to two or more of its direct or indirect wholly owned domestic Subsidiaries, which transfers shall in each case be made in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Operating Agreement.

(a) to design, develop, manufacture, sell, repair, service and support ELV Systems, and to supply related Launch Services using such ELV Systems, (i) to the U.S. Government pursuant to one or more Contracts between the Company and the U.S. Government

- 2 -

(b) to enter into agreements with the Members or their respective Affiliates for the purpose of designing and developing unique capabilities of expendable launch vehicles where the ultimate customer would be the U.S. Government, including under a DIO Contract, which agreements shall contain appropriate firewall and confidentiality provisions to protect the proprietary interests of the parties to the agreements (including proprietary trade secrets of the parties) and provisions relating to the ownership of any intellectual property created in connection with the work to be done under such agreements; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall not at any time market or sell any ELV System or related Launch Service to any Commercial Customer except indirectly pursuant to a Contract between the Company and a commercial launch services provider.

Section 2.09 Term. The term of the Company shall be perpetual unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Operating Agreement.

(a) It is the intent of the Members that the Company shall at all times be classified as a partnership for Income Tax purposes.

Neither Member shall recognize or report any income, deduction, gain, or loss for federal Income Tax purposes on the contribution and transfer of assets to the Company at the Closing or any other transaction under section 3.01 of this Agreement. Lockheed Martin agrees to continue prosecuting the change in accounting method for service contracts that it filed with the Internal Revenue Service on December 9, 2004. Each Member agrees not to take any position on any Tax Return or any Tax filing, or in any Tax audit or proceeding, that is inconsistent with this Section 2.10 (provided, however, that each Member shall have the right at any time to seek the opinion of independent tax counsel of national reputation reasonably acceptable to the other Member ("Tax Counsel") that there is no reasonable basis for a position consistent with this Section 2.10, and upon providing such opinion of Tax Counsel to the other Member shall be

- 3 -

entitled to take such an inconsistent position), and each Member agrees to provide the other Member with advance notice of any public filing or documentation that is inconsistent with this Section 2.10.

(b) Each Member acknowledges that reporting for financial accounting purposes may differ from federal Income Tax treatment, and that Section 2.10(a) shall not prevent either Member from appropriately reporting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for financial accounting purposes as required under GAAP.

Section 2.11 Independent Operation of Company. Subject to the provisions of the Operating Agreement, the Company shall operate as an independent entity separate and apart from the Members. From and after the Closing, the Company shall take such actions as are consistent with the operation of an independent business, including hiring and maintaining its own workforce, entering into and fully performing its own Contracts and maintaining its own property, facilities and equipment. From and after the Closing, the Company shall assume complete ownership of and control over the Contributed Assets and shall assume complete responsibility for the Assumed Liabilities, including the assumption of performance of all Contracts constituting Contributed Assets, subject to the terms hereof.

Section 2.12 Compliance with Applicable Law. The Company shall, and the Members shall at all times cause the Company to, conduct all of its activities in full compliance with Applicable Laws and all ethics and compliance policies adopted from time to time by the Company.

The Closing will become effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date.

Section 3.03 Opening Statement. Attached hereto as Attachment I-A and Attachment I-B, respectively, is an Unaudited Statement of Net Assets of each of Lockheed Martin's and Boeing's respective ELV Business at December 31, 2004, together with the Notes thereto (each, an "Opening Statement").

Section 3.04 Adjustment of Contributions.

(a) Promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date, each Member shall, at its expense and with the assistance of the Company, prepare and submit to the Company and the other Member a statement setting forth, in reasonable detail, such Member's calculation of the Net Working Capital of its ELV Business as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date (as to each Member, its "Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount"). In the event a Member disputes the correctness of the other Member's Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount, such Member shall notify the other Member in writing of its objections within 60 days after receipt of the other Member's calculation of its Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount and shall set forth, in writing and in reasonable detail, the reasons for its objections. To be assertable, an objection by a Member with respect to any individual item in respect of the other Member's Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount must be in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 (it being understood that, for purposes of clarification and not by way of limitation, a method of valuation or the application of an accounting principle used in the preparation of a Member's Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount each shall be deemed a separate "item" for purposes of this Section 3.04(a)) and assert that the item was not prepared in accordance with Section 3.04(b). To the extent a Member does not so object, in writing and in reasonable detail as required and within the time period contemplated by this Section 3.04(a), each of the Members shall be deemed to have accepted the other Member's calculation and presentation in respect of the matters not subject to objection and such matters shall not be considered to be in dispute. The Members shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any disputed matters within 60 days after the date on which the last notice of objections was delivered to a Member. If the Members are unable to resolve the disputed matters, the Members shall engage a nationally known independent accounting firm (the "Unaffiliated Firm"), other than Ernst & Young LLP or Deloitte & Touche LLP, to resolve the matters in dispute (in accordance with Section 3.04(b) and consistent, to the extent possible, with any matters not in dispute). The Members shall jointly engage the Unaffiliated Firm. Promptly after such engagement of the Unaffiliated Firm, the Members will provide the Unaffiliated Firm with a copy of this Agreement, the Opening Statements, the statements of Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amounts and any written notices of objections related thereto. Each Member shall deliver to the Unaffiliated Firm a written submission of its position with respect to the matters in dispute, which submissions shall be delivered by each Member to the Unaffiliated Firm and to the other Member simultaneously within 15 days of the engagement of such Unaffiliated Firm. Each Member shall thereafter be

- 6 -

entitled to submit a rebuttal to the other Member's submission, which rebuttals shall be delivered to the Unaffiliated Firm and to the other Member simultaneously within 30 days of the delivery of the Members' initial submissions. The Unaffiliated Firm may request additional information from either Member, but absent such a request neither Member may make (nor permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) any additional submission to the Unaffiliated Firm or otherwise communicate with the Unaffiliated Firm, and in no event will either Member (i) communicate (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to communicate) with the Unaffiliated Firm without providing the other Member a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication or (ii) make (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) a written submission to the Unaffiliated Firm unless a copy of such submission is simultaneously provided to the other Member. Either Member may make a written request for a hearing with the Unaffiliated Firm by delivering notice to the other Member and the Unaffiliated Firm within 15 days after the submission of rebuttals by the Members. Within 30 days of such written request, the Unaffiliated Firm shall hold a joint hearing, in person or by teleconference, at which each Member shall be entitled to make an oral presentation and rebuttal. The Unaffiliated Firm shall have 30 days from the date of such hearing (or, if no such hearing is requested, from the date of submission of written rebuttals) to review the documents provided to it pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) and deliver its written determination with respect to each of the adjustments in dispute submitted to it for resolution. The Unaffiliated Firm shall resolve the differences regarding the statements of Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amounts based solely on the information provided to the Unaffiliated Firm by the Members pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (and not by independent review). The Unaffiliated Firm's authority will be limited to resolving disputes with respect to whether the statements of Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amounts were prepared in accordance with the terms of Section 3.04(b) with respect to the individual items on the statements of Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amounts in dispute (it being understood that the Unaffiliated Firm will have no authority to make any adjustments to any financial statements or amounts other than the statements of Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amounts and amounts set forth therein that are in dispute). In resolving any disputed item, the Unaffiliated Firm may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item asserted by either Member or less than the smallest value for such item asserted by either Member. The determination of the Unaffiliated Firm in respect of the correctness of each matter remaining in dispute in accordance with this Section 3.04(a) shall be conclusive and binding on the Members and judgment may be entered thereon as an arbitration award pursuant to 9 U.S.C. � 9 in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Net Working Capital of each Member's ELV Business as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.04(a), is referred to herein as the "Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount" of such Member's ELV Business.

(b) The Proposed Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount and the Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount of each Member's ELV Business shall be determined in accordance with the accounting principles, policies, practices, methods and procedures, applied on a consistent basis in accordance with past practice, utilized in the preparation of such Member's Opening Statement as disclosed in the Notes to such Opening Statement, in each case except as otherwise set forth in the Notes to such Opening Statement.

(c) If Lockheed Martin's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount is less than the amount set forth on Schedule 3.04(c) (the "Lockheed Martin Threshold Amount"), then

- 7 -

Lockheed Martin shall pay the difference to the Company, and if Lockheed Martin's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Lockheed Martin Threshold Amount, then the Company shall pay the difference to Lockheed Martin, in each case with simple interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the per annum interest rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect; provided, that neither Lockheed Martin nor the Company shall have any obligation to make a payment to the other under this Section 3.04(c) unless the amount of the difference (whether positive or negative) between Lockheed Martin's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount and the Lockheed Martin Threshold Amount shall be equal to or greater than $5,000,000 (it being understood that in the event any such adjustment shall be equal to or greater than $5,000,000, the Company or Lockheed Martin, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the entire amount of such difference). Any such payment shall be made in immediately available funds not later than five Business Days after the determination of Lockheed Martin's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the payee to the payor within two Business Days of the date of the determination of such Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount. The obligations of Lockheed Martin and the Company under this Section 3.04(c) are independent of the obligations of Boeing and the Company under Section 3.04(d).

(d) If Boeing's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount is less than the amount set forth on Schedule 3.04(d) (the "Boeing Threshold Amount"), then Boeing shall pay the difference to the Company, and if Boeing's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Boeing Threshold Amount, then the Company shall pay the difference to Boeing, in each case with simple interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the per annum interest rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect; provided, that neither Boeing nor the Company shall have any obligation to make a payment to the other under this Section 3.04(d) unless the amount of the difference (whether positive or negative) between Boeing's Adjusted Net Working Capital Amount and the Boeing Threshold Amount shall be equal to or greater than $5,000,000 (it being understood that in the event any such adjustment shall be equal to or greater than $5,000,000, the Company or Boeing, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the entire amount of such difference).

Section 3.05 Assignment of Contracts and Rights. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to contribute or otherwise sell, convey, transfer, assign or sublicense any Contract, license or permit constituting a Contributed Asset, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, or to enter into any other agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, if an attempted assignment, sale, conveyance, sublicense or transfer thereof, or entering into any such agreement or arrangement, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach of, or other contravention under, any agreement to which either Member is a party, be ineffective with respect to any party thereto or in any way adversely affect the rights of either Member or the Company thereunder. With respect to any such Contract, license or permit or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, promptly after the date hereof, the Parties will use reasonable commercial efforts (but without any payment of money or other transfer of value by either Member or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party) to obtain any required consent for the assignment, transfer or sublicense of any such Contract, license or permit to the Company, or written confirmation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Parties confirming that such consent is not required. If a required consent is not obtained with respect to any such Contract, license or permit, or if an attempted assignment, transfer or sublicense thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the right of either Member or the Company thereunder (a "Consent Failure"), the applicable Member and the Company will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which the Company would obtain the benefits thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting or subleasing to the Company, subject to Applicable Law and the terms of any such Contract, license or permit, with the Company obtaining the claims, rights and benefits of the applicable Member and assuming the obligations under such Contract, license or permit in accordance with this Agreement, and the Members will enforce at the request of and for the benefit of the Company, with the Company assuming the Members' obligations, any and all claims, rights and benefits of the Members against any third party thereto arising from any such Contract, license or permit (including the right to elect to terminate such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of the Company). If any Consent Failure occurs and the applicable Member and the Company have failed to have entered into an arrangement to provide to the Company the benefits under the relevant Contract, license or permit, such Member and the Company shall cooperate following the Closing to obtain such consent or enter into an agreement with respect thereto as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05, in the case of commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS") software having an initial purchase price of $10,000 or less per copy, the Company shall have the sole responsibility for obtaining license rights to use such software at the Company's cost and expense.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Member nor any of their respective Representatives shall have access to personnel records of the other Member relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or records or other information that in such other Member's good faith opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject such Member or its Subsidiaries to risk of liability. Each Member shall make available to the Company personnel files of its respective Business Employees only after the Closing Date and only if and when the respective Member provides the Company with notice that the applicable Business Employee has provided the Member with a written release permitting transfer of those files; provided, however, that the Company shall hold the respective Member harmless from any and all Damages arising out of or relating to the transfer of the personnel files.

(b) Each Member agrees that all information provided or otherwise made available to it or any of its Representatives in connection with the Contemplated Transactions shall be governed by the provisions of, and treated as if provided or otherwise made available under, the Confidentiality Agreement (regardless of whether or not the Confidentiality Agreement is in effect or has been terminated or superseded); provided, that nothing in this Section 5.03 shall limit or otherwise restrict the applicability of any other confidentiality or similar provisions included in any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement between the Members. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.03 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Members acknowledge and agree that all information disclosed or otherwise discovered by the Parties pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement and that no such information shall be used for any other purpose, including in connection with the Civil Proceeding or any other Proceedings involving the Members and arising out of any matters other than the Contemplated Transactions.

information of the other Member disclosed by such other Member under Section 5.03(a) or otherwise made available by the other Member in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. In addition, each Member shall continue to comply with all non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions of all Contracts in effect on the Closing Date that are contributed to the Company as Contributed Assets for the maximum period of time required under such Contracts. In the event any Member is requested or required (by oral or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or by Applicable Law) to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, then such Member shall notify the other Member or the Company, as the case may be, promptly of the request or requirement so that the other Member or the Company, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Section 5.03. If, in the absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Member is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose such confidential information, such Member may so disclose the confidential or proprietary information; provided that such Member shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such confidential or proprietary information. The provisions of this Section 5.03(c) shall not be deemed to prohibit the disclosure by either Member of confidential or proprietary information relating to the operations or affairs of its ELV Business to the extent reasonably required (i) to prepare or complete any required Tax Returns or financial statements, (ii) in connection with audits or other proceedings by or on behalf of a Governmental Authority, (iii) in connection with any insurance or benefits claims, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with any Applicable Laws, (v) to provide services to the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Transaction Documents, (vi) in connection with asserting any rights or remedies or performing any obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, or (vii) in connection with any other similar administrative functions in the ordinary course of business; provided that in each such case such Member shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such confidential or proprietary information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.03 shall not apply to information that (x) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Member required to keep the information confidential, (y) is or becomes available to a Member on a non-confidential basis from a source that, to such Member's knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (z) is or has been independently developed by the Member required to keep the information confidential (other than in connection with, in the case of Boeing, the Boeing Assumed Liabilities or the Boeing Contributed Assets or, in the case of Lockheed Martin, the Lockheed Martin Assumed Liabilities or the Lockheed Martin Contributed Assets) as evidenced by written documentation.

Intellectual Property is used in such products or services, and (B) Lockheed Martin may, in connection with the sale of a portion of a business or product line of Lockheed Martin to a Person, license, sublicense, transfer, assign, convey or sell Licensed Lockheed Martin Intellectual Property used in such business or product line to such Person under terms permitting its use within the Field of Use, but not in a manner that would violate the provisions of Section 5.13 if used by Lockheed Martin in that manner.

(b) Covenant Not to Sue. Each Member, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby covenants not to sue or enforce against the Company or the Company's customers any rights that a Member or its Subsidiaries may have in such Member's Intellectual Property licensed under Section 5.08(a), except to the extent the Company or the Company's customers breach the terms and conditions of Section 5.08(a)(i) or Section 5.08(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

(c) Future Licenses in Technology. The Company and the Members shall enter into such commercially reasonable written licensing or other agreements, if any, regarding rights in other Intellectual Property of the Company or of either Member relating to the business or operations of the Company at such times and upon such terms as shall be deemed necessary or appropriate by mutual agreement of the Members.

(d) Transferability. The licenses granted pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall be transferable by the Company only with the prior written consent of the Member that licensed the Intellectual Property, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such Member, except that such licenses may be transferred upon prior written notice to both Members in connection with a merger of the Company with and into another Person or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and provided that the Company may disclose Intellectual Property licensed hereunder that is Proprietary Information as permitted by (and defined in) Section 10.01 of the Operating Agreement.

(e) Noncompetition. A Member's use of, or license to third parties to use, its Intellectual Property licensed under Section 5.08(a) to the Company shall be consistent with Section 5.13, and nothing in this Section 5.08 shall limit or otherwise modify the application of Section 5.13.

(f) Limitations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that except as otherwise specifically contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company is not obtaining any rights in, or to use, any Intellectual Property of the Members, and that, except as specified below, the Company is not obtaining any rights in or licenses to use any trademarks or trade names owned by Lockheed Martin or Boeing or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including the names "Lockheed Martin," "Boeing," "Martin Marietta," "McDonnell Douglas" or any derivatives thereof. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that, except as specified below and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Company shall not use any trademark, logo or trade name owned or licensed by either Member or any of their respective Affiliates (other than any such trademark, logo or trade name that is used or planned for use exclusively in either Member's ELV Business as of the Closing, which trademarks, logos or trade names shall be included in Intellectual Property licensed to the Company hereunder) or any trademarks, logos or trade names that are confusingly similar thereto

- 19 -

or that are a translation or transliteration thereof into any language or alphabet. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall remove and change signage, change and substitute promotional or advertising material in whatever medium, change stationery and packaging and take all such other steps as may be required or appropriate to cease use of all such Intellectual Property not owned by or licensed to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 5.08(f) by reason of (i) its use after the Closing of any inventory constituting Contributed Assets, (ii) the appearance of any trademarks, logos or trade names of the Members or their Affiliates in or on any tools, dies, equipment, engineering/manufacturing drawings, manuals, work sheets, operating procedures, other written materials or other Contributed Assets that are used for internal purposes only in connection with the ELV Business; provided that the Company endeavors to remove such trademarks, logos or trade names in the ordinary course of the operation of the ELV Business where such removal is commercially practicable, and provided further, that all trademarks, logos and trade names of the Members and their Affiliates appearing on written materials shall be removed therefrom, covered over or otherwise obliterated prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date or (iii) its use of the names "Lockheed Martin" and "Boeing" as a historical reference to the ELV Business for the purpose of identifying the Company as the successor-in-interest thereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that to the extent it shall use any trademark, logo or trade name of the Members or their respective Affiliates, the applicable Member shall retain exclusive ownership rights in such trademarks, logos or trade names, as the case may be, and all such uses shall inure to the benefit of the Member that owns such trademark, logo or trade name and shall be in accordance with the applicable Member's quality control standards.

Section 5.09 Novation of Government Contracts. Immediately following the Closing, the Company shall, in accordance with, and to the extent required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 42, Subpart 42.12, submit in writing to its Defense Contract Executive and each responsible contracting officer a request for the U.S. Government to recognize the Company as the successor in interest to all of the Government Contracts being sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Company in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Each of the Members shall (i) provide the Company, its Defense Contract Executive and each responsible contracting officer all information necessary to obtain, to the extent required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 42, Subpart 42.12, the consent of the U.S. Government to recognize the Company as the successor in interest to all of its Government Contracts being sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Company in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) enter into novation agreements (the "Novation Agreements") substantially in the form contemplated by such regulations. Each of the Members and the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreements with regard to the Government Contracts, including responding to any reasonable requests for information by the U.S. Government with regard to such Novation Agreements. In the event of any delay in entering into such Novation Agreements or any inability to enter into such Novation Agreements, the Parties will treat the applicable Government Contracts in accordance with Section 3.05.

Section 5.10 Company Financing.

(a) In order to fund the initial working capital needs of the Company, each of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall make available to the Company an amount to be mutually agreed by the Members (each, a "Working Capital Fund"), in cash or immediately available funds and the Company shall have the right to draw against such Working Capital Funds from time to time upon written notice to the Members together with reasonable documentation of the Company's requirement therefor and a statement of its then current working capital needs; provided, that any such draw by the Company shall be made from each Member's Working Capital Fund in an equal amount. Any amounts drawn by the Company against the Member's Working Capital Funds shall constitute a capital contribution by the Members to the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to repay any such amounts to the Members.

(b) The Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts (and each of the Members shall use reasonable commercial efforts to assist the Company) to enter into a revolving credit agreement or similar financing arrangement (the "Initial Company Financing Arrangement") to support the Company's working capital and other financing needs, the terms of which shall be mutually acceptable to the Members, at or as soon as possible following the formation of the Company and in any event prior to the Closing. To the extent necessary to obtain the Initial Company Financing Arrangement, each of the Members shall guarantee the obligations of the Company on a basis proportionate to their respective percentage ownership interest in the Company and on other terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Members.

Section 5.11 Competitive Businesses. Unless and until the Closing of the Contemplated Transactions is consummated, the Members will continue to operate as competitive businesses and will not collaborate in any manner, including with respect to Bids, or take any other action in violation of Applicable Law.

Section 5.12 Stay of Civil Proceeding.

(a) The Members agree that all proceedings and activities (including all dates established by any order of court, including discovery, appeal or objection deadlines, dates for filing of motions, hearing deadlines, and the date for trial) in the Civil Proceeding should be stayed until the Closing occurs. On or promptly (but in no event later than three Business Days) after the date of execution of this Agreement, the Members shall jointly advise the District Court before which the Civil Proceeding is pending that the Members have entered into this Agreement which, upon the occurrence of the Closing, will result in dismissal with prejudice of the Civil Proceeding. The Members shall also jointly request, and thereafter use reasonable efforts to cause, the entry by the District Court of a stipulated order staying all activities and proceedings in the Civil Proceeding until the Closing. The Members further agree that their jointly requested stipulated order shall include a provision that on the earlier of April 1, 2006 (if the Closing has not occurred before such date) or the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, either Member may apply to the District Court for an order lifting the stay and, upon such application, the Court shall enter an order lifting the stay and directing that all of said activities and proceedings that have been stayed may be recommenced, with all pretrial and trial dates, including all discovery obligations and deadlines, adjusted by the length of the stay. If pursuant to such application of either Member the stay is lifted prior to the termination of this Agreement, then either Member may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Member.

- 21 -

The Members further agree that neither shall file any other action or proceeding asserting any of the claims or counterclaims that are alleged in the Civil Proceeding unless and until the District Court lifts the stay.

(b) In the event the District Court does not stay all activities and proceedings in the Civil Proceeding or sua sponte lifts the stay prior to April 1, 2006 or the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01, promptly (but in no event later than three Business Days) thereafter, the Members shall jointly request the dismissal without prejudice of the Civil Proceeding. To bring about said dismissal of the Civil Proceeding, Lockheed Martin shall dismiss without prejudice the Amended and Supplemental Complaint filed in the Civil Proceeding and Boeing shall dismiss without prejudice its Counterclaim filed in the Civil Proceeding. The Members further agree that if the Closing shall not have been consummated before April 1, 2006, or upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01, within 60 days thereafter but not sooner than 30 days thereafter, Lockheed Martin may re-commence the Civil Proceeding by filing a new complaint (the "Replead Complaint") and in its response to such Replead Complaint, Boeing may re-file a new counterclaim (the "Replead Counterclaim"), provided, however, that neither Member may allege any claim that (i) is not presently alleged in the Member's presently pending pleading or (ii) has been dismissed by the Court as of the date of the dismissal of the Civil Proceeding pursuant to this Section 5.12(b). The Members agree that any and all statutes of limitations applicable to the claims alleged in the Amended and Supplemental Complaint are tolled as to such claims during the period of time between the date of the dismissal of Lockheed Martin's Amended and Supplemental Complaint pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) and the date upon which the Replead Complaint is filed. The Members agree that any and all statutes of limitations applicable to the claims alleged in the Counterclaim are tolled as to such claims during the period of time between the date of the dismissal of Boeing's Counterclaim pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) and the date upon which the Replead Counterclaim is filed. The Members further agree that in the recommenced Civil Proceeding each will not plead or assert any statute of limitations, laches or other defense based upon the passage of time to the causes of action alleged in the Replead Complaint or in the Replead Counterclaim, except to the extent that such defenses were available to the Member under Applicable Law, including Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 15(c), as of the date any given cause of action was first filed. The Members further agree that all discovery obtained or produced in connection with the Civil Proceeding may be used by the Members in the recommenced Civil Proceeding, subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Protective Order for Confidentiality dated January 26, 2005, until entry of a new protective order or the execution of a confidentiality agreement by the Members applicable to that discovery.

(c) Each of the Members agrees (for itself and for and on behalf of each of its divisions, Affiliates, Subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns), from and after the execution of this Agreement, that it will not urge, recommend, advocate or request that any component of the U.S. Government initiate or pursue criminal proceedings against Boeing or Lockheed Martin (or any of their respective divisions, Affiliates or Subsidiaries) or administrative proceedings with respect to the present responsibility as a U.S. Government contractor of Boeing or Lockheed Martin (or of any of their respective divisions, Affiliates or Subsidiaries), including investigation, indictment, prosecution, suspension or debarment, based upon or arising out of any actual or alleged past act or omission of any of them in connection with: (i) any U.S. Government or commercial program (including any related competition,

- 22 -

procurement, award or sale) relating to Delta II, Delta IV, Titan, Proton, Atlas III or Atlas V or any derivative of any of them; (ii) any event, fact or circumstance alleged in the Civil Proceeding or in the complaint or any amended complaint, counterclaim or other filing made in connection with the Civil Proceeding; (iii) any alleged or actual act or omission by Darleen Druyun; and/or (iv) any alleged or actual act or omission of either Member relating to Darleen Druyun; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to interfere with either Member's right or obligation to provide evidence and otherwise cooperate fully in connection with any U.S. Government investigation or other U.S. Government proceeding; and provided further that nothing herein is intended to interfere with Boeing's right to submit evidence and argument in connection with or defense of any pending or future U.S. Government investigation or other U.S. Government proceeding with respect to Boeing relating to the above-referenced matters; and provided further that nothing herein is intended to interfere with Boeing's reporting obligations under the Administrative Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement, Lockheed Martin agrees not to file any lawsuit in Federal, state or local court naming Boeing as a party in which it alleges any claim relating to the conduct of Darleen Druyun, or of Boeing relating to Darleen Druyun unless and until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.01.

Section 5.13 Non-Competition Agreement.

(a) Each Member agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, that (i) during the period beginning as of the Closing Date and ending seven and one-half years thereafter, or such earlier date as provided for in the Operating Agreement (the "Non-Compete Term"), it will not, and it will cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, enter into, engage in, provide managerial, supervisory, administrative or consulting services or assistance to, represent or own any beneficial interest in, any business with operations engaged directly or indirectly in (A) the manufacture, sale, repair, service or support of Competitive Launch Vehicles for the U.S. Government or (B) providing to the U.S. Government the service of launching payloads into Earth orbit or beyond Earth orbit using Competitive Launch Vehicles, and (ii) during the period beginning as of the Closing Date and ending five years thereafter, it will not, and it will cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, enter into, engage in, provide managerial, supervisory, administrative or consulting services or assistance to, represent, or own any beneficial interest in, any business with operations engaged directly or indirectly in the design or development of Competitive Launch Vehicles for the U.S. Government (all such operations described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), for the respective periods set forth therein, collectively, the "Competing Operations"). For purposes of this Section 5.13, "Competitive Launch Vehicle" means any expendable launch vehicle capable of lifting payloads of up to a maximum of 70 metric tons into low Earth orbit (but excluding expendable launch vehicles capable of lifting no more than two metric tons into low Earth orbit) and any expendable launch vehicle capable of performance equivalent to such capacity beyond low Earth orbit (with a comparable exclusion).

- 23 -

(b) The provisions of Section 5.13(a) shall not prohibit either Member or any of its Subsidiaries from:

(i) continuing anywhere in the world any type of business conducted by such Member or any of its Subsidiaries on the date hereof, which is not part of such Member's ELV Business as conducted on the date hereof;

(ii) entering into any relationship with a Person not owned, managed, operated or controlled by such Member or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes primarily unrelated to Competing Operations;

(iii) acquiring or holding for investment purposes 10% or less of any class or series of equity securities of any Person, which class or series of equity securities is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, even if that Person is engaged in Competing Operations;

(iv) acquiring control of a business or Person (whether through the acquisition of assets, securities or other ownership interests, the effecting of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction) (an "Acquired Business") that is engaged in Competing Operations where the revenues of the Competing Operations of the Acquired Business in its most recently completed fiscal year were less than the lowest of (A) 10% of the total revenues of the Acquired Business for such fiscal year, (B) 20% of the total revenues of the Company for its most recently completed fiscal year (provided that this clause (B) will not apply prior to the end of the Company's first full completed fiscal year) and (C) $400,000,000;

(v) acquiring control of an Acquired Business that is engaged in Competing Operations where the revenues of the Competing Operations of the Acquired Business in its most recently completed fiscal year were (x) higher than the lowest of (A) 10% of the total revenues of the Acquired Business for such fiscal year, (B) 20% of the total revenues of the Company for its most recently completed fiscal year (provided that this clause (B) will not apply prior to the end of the Company's first full completed fiscal year) and (C) $400,000,000, but (y) lower than 50% of the total revenues of the Acquired Business for its most recently completed fiscal year; provided that such Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to divest or discontinue the Competing Operations of the Acquired Business as promptly as practicable and in any event shall complete such divestiture or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.13(b)(v), discontinuance not later than 18 months following such acquisition. It is understood and agreed that, in connection with any such divestiture, the Company will be afforded an opportunity to participate in the Member's divestiture process and to bid for the Competing Operations of the Acquired Business on a basis comparable to that afforded by the Member to other potential purchasers (but not on a preferred basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.13(b)(v) shall prohibit a Member and its Subsidiaries from performing their obligations under binding agreements of the Acquired Business with customers, suppliers, employees and other Persons that either (A) were in effect prior to the consummation of the acquisition of the Acquired Business or (B) are entered into after the acquisition of the Acquired Business for so long as the Member is in good faith attempting to effect a divestiture of the Competing Operations in accordance with this Section 5.13(b)(v);

- 24 -

(vi) the design, development, manufacture, sale, repair, service or support of reusable launch vehicles (including expendable components of reusable launch vehicles) or the supply of related services to the U.S. Government or any other Person;

(vii) the design, development, manufacture, sale, repair, service or support of components used in expendable launch vehicles;

(viii) entering into any business engaged in, engaging in, continuing to engage in or providing managerial, supervisory, administrative or consulting services or assistance to or representing any business engaged in (x) the design, development, manufacture, sale, repair, service or support of expendable launch vehicles for launches of payloads into Earth orbit and beyond Earth orbit for Commercial Customers, or (y) providing to Commercial Customers the service of launching payloads into Earth orbit or beyond Earth orbit using such expendable launch vehicles;

(ix) providing any services under a contract with the U.S. Government where the contract does not include as part of the goods or services provided thereunder an expendable launch vehicle;

(x) the design, development, manufacture, sale, repair, service or support of satellites and/or related payloads (whether manned or unmanned), for launch into Earth orbit or beyond Earth orbit or the integration of such satellites or payloads (whether manned or unmanned) with expendable launch vehicles, including pursuant to a DIO Contract;

(xi) holding any interest in the Company or taking any action, exercising any right or performing any obligation under the Transaction Documents; or

(c) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.13 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.13 shall be deemed to prohibit, limit or restrict in any way any activities of (i) Boeing or its Subsidiaries related to Sea Launch vehicles or any expendable launch vehicles derived from the Space Shuttle or (ii) Lockheed Martin or its Subsidiaries related to the Titan (but only to the extent required to perform under Contracts existing on the date hereof), Proton, Angara, Falcon, Trident or Athena vehicles, or any expendable launch vehicles derived from the Space Shuttle.

Section 5.14 Spaceport Lease. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall at all times conduct its business in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease dated as of February 14, 2000 by and between Lockheed Martin, as Lessee and Mortgagor, and Spaceport

- 25 -

Florida Authority, as Lessor and Mortgagee (the "Spaceport Lease"), as if the Company were the original direct Lessee thereunder. Lockheed Martin covenants and agrees that, in the event the Lease Balance (as defined in the Spaceport Lease) becomes due and payable under the terms of the Spaceport Lease as a result of the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default (as defined in the Spaceport Lease) under Section 16.1(e) of the Spaceport Lease and such Lease Event of Default is not cured or waived within the applicable grace period, Lockheed Martin will exercise its Early Prepayment Option (as defined in the Spaceport Lease) and prepay the Lease Balance (as defined in the Spaceport Lease) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 18.1 of the Spaceport Lease. For the remainder of the Term (as defined in the Spaceport Lease) the Company shall pay to Lockheed Martin the Basic Rent (as defined in the Spaceport Lease) at the times and in the amounts as would have been owed to the Lessor under the Spaceport Lease had Lockheed Martin not exercised the Early Prepayment Option in accordance with the terms of the lease assignment for the Spaceport Lease to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.01(h). Lockheed Martin further covenants and agrees that it will not take any action to amend the terms of the Spaceport Lease in a manner that is adverse to the interests of the Company as assignee of the Spaceport Lease without the prior written consent of the Company. Lockheed Martin agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Company in any efforts by the Company to obtain refinancing of the outstanding Lease Balance under the Spaceport Lease and the related Lessor financing so that the term of the Spaceport Lease may be renewed for a five year term, provided that Lockheed Martin shall not be obligated to remain liable under the Spaceport Lease beyond February 15, 2010.

Section 5.15 Compliance with Administrative Agreement. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Interim Administrative Agreement dated March 4, 2005 (the "Administrative Agreement") between Boeing and the United States Department of the Air Force (the "Air Force"), the Company and each of the Members agree that the Company shall, from and after the Closing, (i) maintain throughout the ELV Business, including Boeing's former ELV Business, an ethics/compliance program generally comparable to the ethics/compliance program currently in existence at Boeing's ELV Business and sufficient to establish the continued present responsibility of the Company, including Boeing's former ELV Business, to the satisfaction of the Air Force and (ii) be accountable to the Air Force for compliance by the Company with respect to activities following the Closing, including Boeing's former ELV Business, with other applicable terms of the Administrative Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will appoint and maintain a special compliance officer to oversee the implementation of the applicable measures outlined in the Administrative Agreement, which compliance officer shall, at Boeing's request and if permissible under the terms of the Administrative Agreement, be the same person serving as Boeing's special compliance officer. The costs of compliance with the Administrative Agreement will be paid by the Company except to the extent any such cost is an Excluded Liability or is not allocable and allowable pursuant to Section 11.05. For the avoidance of doubt, such costs incurred by the Company that are unallowable under the terms of the Administrative Agreement shall be reimbursed to the Company by Boeing or paid by Boeing.

ARTICLE VI

FURTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

Section 6.01 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable under Applicable Law, to consummate or implement the Contemplated Transactions, including providing information reasonably requested by other Persons necessary for such Persons to evaluate whether to consent to the assignment of any Contracts, licenses or permits or related rights or obligations. The Parties shall execute and deliver, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, as appropriate or required as the case may be, to execute and deliver, such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to consummate or implement the Contemplated Transactions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, nothing in this Section 6.01 or elsewhere in the Transaction Documents shall require any Party or any of their respective Affiliates to make any payments or issue any guarantee or other Financial Support Arrangements in order to obtain any consents or approvals necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 6.02 Certain Filings; Consents. The Parties shall cooperate with each other (a) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained in respect of any Contracts, licenses or permits constituting Contributed Assets, in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and (b) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in taking any such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Section 6.03 Public Announcements. On the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Members shall issue a joint press release substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment X. Prior to the Closing, the Parties shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate to) issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, except as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case no Party shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement without prior discussion with the other Parties (to the extent reasonably practicable) and without complying with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall (a) relieve either Member from any of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement or (b) terminate any of the restrictions imposed upon the Parties by Section 5.03.

Section 6.04 Antitrust Laws.

(a) The Members shall make the filings required under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws. The Members shall also comply at the earliest practicable date with any request for additional information, documents or other materials received from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority, including the European Union Competition Commission and other international competition authorities. The Members shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to resolve objections, if any, that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Contemplated Transactions under any Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as

- 27 -

amended, and the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended. If any judicial or administrative action or proceeding is initiated (or threatened to be initiated) by a Governmental Authority challenging the Contemplated Transactions as violative of any Antitrust Law or any other Applicable Law, for so long as both Members desire to oppose any such action or proceeding, the Members shall each cooperate to contest and resist any such action or proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction, ruling, decision, finding or other order (whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent) until such time as a final, non-appealable order has been entered.

(b) Each Member covenants and agrees that, to the extent practicable, prior to engaging in any substantive discussions with any representatives of a Governmental Authority concerning the Contemplated Transactions, the Member will advise the other Member of the anticipated substance of the discussions, provide the other Member with copies of any written materials it intends to provide to or review with such representatives and afford the other Member a reasonable opportunity to comment upon the anticipated substance of the discussions or such written materials or to join the Member and participate in such discussions. In the event it is impracticable for a Member to comply with its obligations in the preceding sentence because the Member is contacted directly by a representative of a Governmental Authority without advance notice, or in any event such a discussion occurs without the presence of Representatives of both Members, as soon as practicable following any such discussions the Member shall advise the other Member of the discussions, the identity of the parties participating in the discussions and the substance of the discussions, and shall provide the other Member with copies of any written materials provided to, reviewed with or received from representatives of the Governmental Authority.

Section 6.05 Agreements Regarding Tax Matters.

(a) Each Member shall (i) provide the Company with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other examination by any Tax Authority or proceeding involving any Governmental Authority relating to liability for Taxes, (ii) retain for a period of six years following the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and provide to the Company all records and other information that may be relevant to any such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and (iii) provide the Company with a copy of any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the Company for any period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Member shall retain, until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (including any extensions thereof), copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records relating to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date that concern the Contributed Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) The Members agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute a disposition of a trade or business within the meaning of Section 41(f)(3) of the Code. The Members will provide to the Company upon request all information necessary to permit the Company to apply the provisions of Section 41(f)(3)(A) of the Code.

- 28 -

(c) If either Member receives any refund of Taxes relating to its ELV Business for periods prior to the Closing Date and the Tax liability to which such refund relates was included as a cost in a cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive (cost-redeterminable) Government Contract, then such Member and the Company shall cooperate to determine the appropriate portion of such Tax refund due to any Governmental Authority pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation as if the Company had pursued and obtained an identical Tax refund. Once the appropriate portion due any Governmental Authority is determined, such Member shall promptly remit such portion directly to such Governmental Authority.

(d) The Company shall timely prepare and, with the prior written consent of the Members (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), file all Tax Returns, reports and forms required by any Tax Authority to be filed by the Company. The Company shall timely prepare and, with the prior written consent of the Members (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), file all Non-Income Tax Returns with respect to the Contributed Assets or the ELV Business for any Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period").

The Company shall promptly advise the applicable Member of any such communications initiated by a Governmental Authority relating to compliance with Environmental Laws and shall promptly provide such Member with copies of all documents received from a Governmental Authority relating to compliance with Environmental Laws concerning any such matters.

(c) The Company shall provide each Member and its respective Representatives and contractors with access to any and all portions of any property that have been or may have been affected by Pre-Closing Environmental Conditions that the applicable Member reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to enter for conducting Remediation Programs, or that such Member reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to enter to satisfy any applicable requirement of Environmental Law. To accomplish the foregoing, the Company hereby grants each of the Members and its respective Representatives and contractors an irrevocable license and right to enter upon any such property and to engage in all activities reasonably related to such tasks, including the right to collect environmental samples, install, operate, repair, and maintain wells, piping, treatment devices and other equipment, the right to review, copy or otherwise use the Company's documents, computer files or other information reasonably related to such Member's Pre-Closing Environmental Conditions and associated matters and the right to interview or otherwise consult with the Company's Representatives and contractors concerning such Pre-Closing Environmental Conditions and associated matters. Such license shall be a covenant running with the land and shall be transferable to any party succeeding to the interests of the Members with respect to the performance of any Remediation Programs. The Company further agrees to execute any documentation in recordable form evidencing such license in favor of a Member as reasonably appropriate. Upon a Member's request, the Company shall promptly provide such Member with copies of any documents, computer files or other information that the Member reasonably determines would be relevant to its ability to carry out its Remediation Programs or any related activities. Upon the Company's or a Member's request, a Member shall promptly provide the Company or the other Member with an annual remediation plan summarizing the anticipated remedial activities to be taken over the course of the following year and with copies of any documents, computer files or other information that the Company or the other Member reasonably determines would be relevant to its evaluation of a Remediation Program or any related activities, to support any filings with or submissions to Governmental Authorities or to confirm that the Remediation Program is being conducted in compliance with Applicable Law. Except in emergency situations, the Members and their Representatives and contractors agree to provide advance written or telephonic notice to the Company prior to entering any property of the Company. Upon satisfaction of the notice requirement and upon presentation of their credentials to the Company, the Company covenants and agrees to provide the Members and their Representatives and contractors with all reasonably required access to the relevant property, the Company's information, and the Company's personnel.

(e) To the extent the Company's consent, signature, authorization or other cooperation is necessary to obtain a permit from or the authorization or approval of any Governmental Authority to enable the Members to develop or implement the Remediation Program or to otherwise satisfy any applicable Environmental Laws, the Company hereby covenants and agrees promptly and fully to provide the same.

- 32 -

(f) The Company acknowledges that the Members' respective activities related to their Remediation Programs and/or compliance with applicable Environmental Laws may interfere with the Company's use of some or all of the Company's properties, may alter the properties or may limit future uses of the properties. To the extent permitted by the Remediation Programs and applicable Environmental Laws, the Members covenant and agree to make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such interference, alteration or limitation and to consult with and seek the approval of the Company of any Remediation Programs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Members and their Representatives and contractors shall make commercially reasonable efforts to prevent their activities from unreasonably interfering with or impeding the Company's uses of the respective properties as of the Closing Date and to control dust, noise, vibration or other visible effects of their activities. Upon completion of the Remediation Programs, the Members shall remove their materials, equipment and debris promptly from the property and shall use reasonable efforts to restore the property to substantially its original condition. The Company shall not, without the applicable Member's advance written consent, construct, modify, remove or install any equipment, building, paving or other item on any part of any properties previously designated by either of the Members as a Remediation Program area that could unreasonably interfere with or significantly increase the cost of the Members' respective obligations arising under the Remediation Programs or any applicable Environmental Law.

(g) Each of the Members shall, in consultation with the Company if the Company so requests, have absolute discretion concerning the selection of its respective Representatives and/or contractors designated to perform the Remediation Programs and/or other obligations under applicable Environmental Laws.

(h) Each of the Members shall have authority, in cooperation with the Company, to resolve all issues and settle all matters relating to its respective Pre-Closing Environmental Conditions, and the Company agrees not to interfere with any such efforts by the Members and further agrees to join in and abide by any Member decisions regarding the foregoing.

Boeing and the Company agree that to the extent permitted by existing applicable agreements and administrative orders, they will keep each other fully informed about such Remediation Program, including allowing each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all submissions to regulators prior to submission, and will cooperate with each other and take appropriate actions to ensure that there is full compliance with the existing agreements and administrative orders and other requirements of Applicable Laws. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, Boeing shall use reasonable commercial efforts to grant the Company access to the Rancho Cordova Property, it being understood that Boeing is not the current owner of the Rancho Cordova Property and therefore cannot assure such access.

(j) The Company covenants and agrees not to transfer or assign any interest in any real property, whether constituting a Contributed Asset or leased or subleased to the Company, unless the transferee or assignee agrees, for the benefit of the Members and any of their successors, transferees or assignees, to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.09, as if such transferee or assignee was the Company under this Agreement.

notice of such election to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of its receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, that any such assumption of the defense and control of a Third Party Claim shall constitute an acknowledgement and acceptance by the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Damages arising out of such Third Party Claim under this Article XI. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting its defense in accordance with this Section 11.03(b); provided, that if in the written opinion of counsel to any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided that in the event there are multiple Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Party shall only have an obligation to pay the fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of a Third Party Claim within such 30 day period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all Damages arising out of such Third Party Claim, to the extent that such Damages are subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, and shall promptly pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the defense by the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim. Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party is defending and controlling any such Third Party Claim, it shall select counsel, contractors, experts and consultants of recognized standing and competence, shall take all steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement thereof, and shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof. The Party conducting the defense thereof shall at all times act as if all Damages relating to the Third Party Claim were for its own account and shall act in good faith and with reasonable prudence to minimize Damages therefrom. Each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, and shall cause each of its respective Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any Third Party Claim at the request of the other and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In addition, the Party not conducting the defense shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own expense.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claims, and the Indemnified Party shall consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claims if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, (ii) such settlement shall not encumber any of the assets of the Indemnified Party or contain any restriction or condition that would apply to such Indemnified Party or to the conduct of that Party's business, (iii) such settlement contains as a condition thereto a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, and (iv) such settlement does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. Except for the foregoing, no settlement or entry of judgment in respect of any Third Party Claim shall be consented to by any Indemnifying Party without the express written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, a Third Party Claim without the express written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

- 41 -

(d) If an Indemnifying Party makes any payment on an Indemnified Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims or benefits of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

(e) In the event that the Company is the Indemnified Party, the Member that is not the Indemnifying Party may elect to assert the Indemnified Claim on behalf of the Company and each of the Company and such Member shall be deemed an Indemnified Party for purposes of the procedural provisions of this Section 11.03. In such event, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Member deemed an Indemnified Party, which Member shall control the pursuit of the Indemnified Claim and shall do so in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company. If and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is successful in the defense of any such Indemnified Claim, the Member asserting the Indemnified Claim on behalf of the Company will promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the defense of the Indemnified Claim.

Section 11.04 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents:

(a) Lockheed Martin shall have liability to the Company Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties described in Section 11.02(a)(i)(1) to the extent (and only to the extent) (i) the aggregate Damages of all Company Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole) shall exceed $8,000,000 (it being understood that such $8,000,000 shall be a deductible amount and shall not be recoverable by the Company Indemnified Parties) and (ii) such matters were the subject of a written notice given by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.03(a) within the period following the Closing Date specified for each respective matter in Section 11.01. In addition, Lockheed Martin will not be responsible for making any payments with respect to Damages for any individual items relating to the representations and warranties described in Section 11.02(a)(i)(1) where Damages relating thereto are less than $25,000 (or, in the case of representations and warranties that include materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications, $1,000,000) and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of determining whether Damages incurred by Company Indemnified Parties exceed the deductible amount set forth in clause (i) above.

(b) Boeing shall have liability to the Company Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties described in Section 11.02(b)(i)(1) to the extent (and only to the extent) (i) the aggregate Damages of all Company Indemnified Parties (taken as a whole) shall exceed $8,000,000 (it being understood that such $8,000,000 shall be a deductible amount and shall not be recoverable by the Company Indemnified Parties) and (ii) such matters were the subject of a written notice given by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.03(a) within the period following the Closing Date specified for each respective matter in Section 11.01. In addition, Boeing will not be responsible for making any payments

- 42 -

with respect to Damages for any individual items relating to the representations and warranties described in Section 11.02(b)(i)(1) where Damages relating thereto are less than $25,000 (or, in the case of representations and warranties that include materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications, $1,000,000) and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of determining whether Damages incurred by Company Indemnified Parties exceed the deductible amount set forth in clause (i) above.

(c) If and to the extent the Company shall assert a claim for indemnification against Lockheed Martin pursuant to Sections 11.02(a)(i)(1) (in respect of a breach of a covenant or agreement), 11.02(a)(i)(2), 11.02(a)(i)(3) or 11.02(a)(ii) for any matter, the Company shall not be required first to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(a)(i)(1) in respect of any breach of a representation or warranty arising from such matter. If and to the extent the Company shall assert a claim for indemnification against Boeing pursuant to Sections 11.02(b)(i)(1) (in respect of a breach of a covenant or agreement), 11.02(b)(i)(2), 11.02(b)(i)(3) or 11.02(b)(ii) for any matter, the Company shall not be required first to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(b)(i)(1) in respect of any breach of a representation or warranty arising from such matter.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, although a Party may be entitled to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to more than one provision of this Article XI, no Party shall be entitled to recover indemnification for the same claim under more than one provision of this Article XI.

Section 11.05 Recovery under Contracts.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for purposes of any indemnification claim by a Company Indemnified Party, the amount of Damages payable by Lockheed Martin or Boeing, as the case may be, will be reduced by amounts deemed recoverable in accordance with this Section 11.05.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, any costs of the Company potentially indemnifiable by Lockheed Martin or Boeing under Section 11.02 will be deemed recoverable except to the extent such costs are (i) unallowable (whether or not by agreement with the U.S. Government or pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or (ii) allowable, reasonable and allocable to definitized fixed price contracts between the Company and the U.S. Government, or options thereunder, or (iii) allocable to definitized contracts between the Company and any Person other than the U.S. Government, or options thereunder, in each case in accordance with the Company's established cost accounting practices and the applicable provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Such calculation will be made as soon as practicable after the Damages subject to indemnification are identified and will be based on the Company's best estimates of the then current and future costs and business base, consistent, to the extent possible, with the Company's then current rate proposals used for pricing U.S. Government contracts.

(c) (i) Prior to asserting any claim for indemnification from a Member under this Agreement, the Company shall, subject to clause (ii) below, use commercially reasonable efforts and exhaust available administrative and judicial remedies to have any costs giving rise to

- 43 -

such potential claim for indemnification treated as allowable, allocable and reasonable costs under its contracts with the U.S. Government and shall cooperate with the indemnifying Member in taking reasonable actions to obtain a determination from the U.S. Government that such costs can be treated as allowable, allocable and reasonable. The indemnifying Member shall be responsible and pay for any out of pocket costs and expenses as reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with such actions. To the extent the Company incurs or has incurred costs that are the subject of a dispute or that are not reimbursed by the U.S. Government within 90 days (other than for administrative reasons) of the Company's initial billing of such costs to the U.S. Government, the indemnifying Member shall advance funds to the Company within 30 days of receipt of a properly documented invoice in an amount sufficient to cover such costs. Any such funds that are advanced by the indemnifying Member shall be repaid to the indemnifying Member, without interest (except to the extent that interest is recoverable from the U.S. Government), within 30 days of receipt of payment from the U.S. Government.

(ii) In the event the management of the Company determines in good faith that seeking a determination that costs giving rise to a potential claim for indemnification may be treated as allowable, allocable and reasonable costs under its Contracts with the U.S. Government would not be in the best interests of the Company, the Company shall promptly notify the indemnifying Member. If, after receiving such notice, the indemnifying Member provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm experienced in U.S. Government Contract matters on the list of approved law firms contemplated by Section 7.02(b)(xv) of the Operating Agreement that the costs claimed are not clearly unallowable costs under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and that it is more likely than not that the Company will prevail on its claim, the Company shall continue to perform its obligations under Section 11.05(c)(i), unless and until the Members shall otherwise unanimously agree; provided, however, that in such event, the Company shall only be obligated to seek available administrative and judicial remedies through the level of the appropriate Board of Contract Appeals or the Court of Federal Claims; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to appeal any decision of the appropriate Board of Contract Appeals or the Court of Federal Claims unless the Members shall otherwise unanimously agree. If the indemnifying Member does not provide to the Company the opinion referred to in the immediately preceding sentence reasonably promptly after receiving such notice, the Company may elect not to continue to pursue the remedies provided for in Section 11.05(c)(i).

(d) If the amount of an indemnification by a Member is reduced by costs deemed recoverable in accordance with the foregoing, and it is later determined that such costs are actually unallowable after compliance with the provisions of Section 11.05(c), except to the extent that funds have already been advanced pursuant to Section 11.05(c)(i), the indemnifying Member will pay the Company the amount previously deemed recoverable to the extent later determined to be unallowable with simple interest thereon from the date applicable costs are incurred to the date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to the per annum interest rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect.

(e) Nothing in this Section 11.05 shall prohibit the indemnifying Member from seeking recovery as an allowable, reasonable and allocable cost any such cost that is not deemed recoverable under this Section 11.05 (or that is initially deemed recoverable but later determined to be actually unallowable under Section 11.05(c)) under its own contracts, at its own election and expense.

(c) by either Member if there shall be any Applicable Law that makes consummation of the Contemplated Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited, if consummation of the Contemplated Transactions would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction over such Member or if a Governmental Authority has filed suit to enjoin or otherwise prohibit the Contemplated Transactions;

(d) by either Member in the event of a breach by the other Member of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, where the effect of such breach would be to cause the conditions to the obligation to consummate the Closing of the terminating Member not to be capable of being satisfied, and such breach is not cured by the breaching Party within 30 days of receiving written notice from the terminating Party of the breach or alleged breach, which written notice shall state that unless such breach is cured in accordance with this Section 12.01(d) the terminating Party intends to terminate this Agreement (it being understood that such 30 day cure period shall not under any circumstances extend the date set forth in Section 12.01(b)); and

(e) by either Member if the Closing shall not have been consummated by March 31, 2006 and either (i) the stay of the Civil Proceeding contemplated by Section 5.12(a) shall have been lifted or (ii) a Replead Complaint shall have been filed in accordance with Section 5.12(b).

(b) such termination shall be without liability of any Party (or any Affiliate, stockholder, consultant or Representative of such Party) to the other Parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Contemplated Transactions fail to close as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement by any Member, or if, at the time of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01(e), any Member shall be in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, then in either case such Member shall be fully liable for any and all damages or losses incurred or suffered by the other Member as a result of all such breaches if the other Member is ready, willing and able to otherwise satisfy its obligations under this Agreement; and

Section 12.03 Non-Exclusive Remedies. Notwithstanding any provision in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and remedies provided in Section 12.02 shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies to which the Parties may be entitled under Applicable Law as a result of a termination of this Agreement.

The Members shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any and all liabilities (other than in respect of Assumed Liabilities) that may be asserted by third parties against the Company as a result of noncompliance with any such bulk sales law.

Section 13.13 Disclaimer of Agency. This Agreement shall not constitute any Party as a legal representative or agent of any other Party, nor shall a Party have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, expressed or implied, against or in the name or on behalf of any other Party, unless otherwise expressly permitted under the Operating Agreement or pursuant to an agreement in writing between or among any of the Parties.

Section 13.14 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Except as otherwise contemplated in Section 3.04, from and after the Closing, in the event of any controversy or claim between or among any of the Parties arising out of, relating to or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder, the Parties shall try to settle their differences amicably between or among themselves.

(b) Any Party may initiate such informal dispute resolution by sending written notice of the dispute to the other Parties, and within 10 days after such notice, senior management level representatives of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall meet, in person or by telephone, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations. Such representatives shall be empowered and authorized to bind their respective companies with respect to the matter in dispute, and to settle the issue on behalf of their respective companies. If such representatives do not resolve such dispute within 30 days of receipt of the dispute notice for any reason, the Parties agree to submit the dispute to the Chief Executive Officers of Lockheed Martin and Boeing for resolution. If the Chief Executive Officers do not resolve the dispute within 30 days after submittal, then the Parties agree to submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators in New York, New York under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA Rules").

(c) Arbitration will be commenced by any Party filing a demand for arbitration pursuant to the AAA Rules (an "Arbitration Demand"). That Party also shall send a copy of the Arbitration Demand to the other Parties. Each of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall select an arbitrator within 10 days of the date of the Arbitration Demand and shall so notify the other Parties in writing, or, if Lockheed Martin or Boeing fails to select an arbitrator within such 10 day period, the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") shall make such appointment within five days thereafter and shall notify the Parties in writing. Within 10 days from their appointment, the two arbitrators thus appointed shall select a third arbitrator, who shall act as the

- 51 -

chairman of the panel, and shall notify the Parties in writing of his or her selection. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on a third arbitrator within 10 days of their selection, the AAA shall make the appointment within five days thereafter and shall notify the Parties in writing. If an arbitrator so selected becomes unable to serve, his or her successors shall be similarly selected or appointed.

(d) The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and such procedures as Lockheed Martin and Boeing may agree, or, in the absence of such agreement, pursuant to the AAA Rules. The arbitrators will agree to comply with the Federal Arbitration Act and the procedures agreed to by Lockheed Martin and Boeing, or if applicable, the AAA Rules (including without limitation any and all of the time deadlines governing the arbitrators' conduct set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act, the procedures agreed to by Lockheed Martin and Boeing and the AAA Rules, as applicable) and the terms of this Section 13.14. The arbitrators shall have case management authority and shall resolve the dispute in final within 180 days from the commencement of the arbitration. In the event the arbitrators fail to resolve the dispute in final within 180 days from the commencement of the arbitration, either Lockheed Martin or Boeing may serve a written notice to the arbitrators and to the other Parties that requires the arbitrators to resolve the dispute in final within 30 days of service of such written notice, provided that if the Member not serving the written notice asserts that the failure to resolve the dispute within such 180-day period was due to delay by the Member serving the written notice, such 30-day period shall be extended by the number of days, if any, that the arbitrators (by written decision issued within such 30-day period) determine the Member serving the written notice was dilatory. If the arbitrators fail to resolve the dispute within such 30 (or extended)�day period, any Party may remove the case from arbitration and file the action as a lawsuit in accordance with Section 13.15. In the event a Party removes the case from arbitration pursuant to the provisions hereof, each Party hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to such removal or that such dispute continues to be subject to arbitration.

(e) The Parties agree that Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall have the right to conduct discovery and present evidence in accordance with the following rules. Each of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall be allowed to conduct reasonable discovery through written document requests and depositions, the nature and extent of which discovery shall be determined by Lockheed Martin and Boeing; provided, that if Lockheed Martin and Boeing cannot agree on the terms of discovery, the nature and extent thereof will be determined by the arbitrators who will take into account the needs of the Parties and the purposes of arbitration to make discovery expeditious and cost effective. Access to any confidential or proprietary financial or other information produced in discovery will be limited to the discovering Member's lawyers and other experts and a limited number (to be agreed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing) of senior managers of the discovering Member, who will be obligated to preserve the confidentiality of such information on reasonable and customary terms. Each Party shall provide to the others, reasonably in advance of the hearing, copies of all documents which such Party intends to present at the hearing. Each of Lockheed Martin and Boeing shall be entitled to make an oral presentation to the arbitrators.

(f) The Parties agree that a judgment may be entered on the arbitrators' award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitrators shall have no authority to add to, detract from or modify this Agreement or any Applicable Law in any respect. The arbitrators may grant any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could grant, except that the arbitrators may not grant any relief or remedy greater than that sought by the Parties, nor any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits and opportunity costs (except in each case to the extent assessed in connection with claims by other Persons).

(g) Any up-front costs of the arbitrators shall be borne equally by the Parties engaged in such dispute; provided, however, that the non-prevailing Party in any such arbitration shall pay, and to the extent applicable reimburse the prevailing Party for, the costs and expenses of the arbitrators, including costs and expenses payable to the AAA and to the arbitrators; and provided further, that in the event each Party prevails as to certain claims in connection with any such arbitration, the fees of the arbitrators shall be paid and/or reimbursed in accordance with the decision of the arbitrators. Except as otherwise provided in Article XI, each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with attorneys' fees and related expenses.

(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.14, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall limit or in any way restrict the ability of any Party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court or other judicial body and (ii) the Parties shall have no obligation to submit any matter prior to the Closing to arbitration in accordance with this Section 13.14, including any disputes as to whether the conditions to Closing set forth in Article X have been satisfied or whether a Member has the right to terminate this Agreement.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that service of process upon such Party at the address referred to in Section 13.01, together with written notice of such service to such Party, shall be deemed effective service of process upon such Party.
