1.01 Introduction.

(a) This Plan is maintained so as to strengthen the ability of the Corporation to attract and retain persons of outstanding competence upon which, in large measure, continued growth and profitability depend.

(b) The Plan is intended to supplement any benefits that may be provided under any plans of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as they may be in effect from time to time, that are qualified under Code Section 401. The Corporation shall not be required to fund, in any way, any of the benefits provided under this Plan prior to the time payments become due to persons hereunder.

(c) The Plan is intended to be an excess benefit plan within the meanings of Sections 3(36) and 201(7) of ERISA and an unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meanings of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(4) of ERISA and Labor Regulation Section 2520.104-23, and shall be construed and interpreted accordingly.

1.02 Effective Date. The Plan was established January 1, 1983, was amended and restated as of January 1, 1989, as of January 1, 2002, and as of January 1, 2009, and has also been amended from time to time. The Effective Date of the amendment and restatement of the Plan as set forth herein is January 1, 2010, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an Appendix, and it incorporates amendments through December 31, 2010.

1.03 Plan Appendices and Exhibits. From time to time, the Corporation may adopt Exhibits to the Plan for the purpose of setting forth specific provisions of this Plan. In addition, the Corporation may from time to time adopt Appendices to this Plan for the purpose of providing documentation necessary to determine benefits under the Plan for certain employee groups. Each such Exhibit or Appendix shall be attached to and form a part of the Plan. Each such Exhibit or Appendix shall specify the Employing Unit to which it applies and shall supersede the provisions of the Plan document to the extent necessary to eliminate any inconsistencies between the Plan document and such Exhibit or Appendix.

For purposes of determining a lump sum value where no lump sum payment option, other than the small benefit cashouts described in Section S5.5 of the Master Retirement Plan Supplement (or any successor provision thereto), is available under the Defined Benefit Plan, the lump sum value shall be based on the actuarial assumptions that would be used for determining a small benefit cashout.

2.07 Determination Date. “Determination Date” shall mean, in the case of payment resulting from disability, the Participant’s attainment of age 65, or, for all other payments, the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s attainment of age 55 or the Participant’s Separation from Service, including Separation from Service on account of death.

2.08 Employee. “Employee” shall mean any person regularly employed as a full-time salaried or hourly employee by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries in any capacity including officers (and also including directors who regularly render services to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries as regular full-time employees), and who is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement unless coverage under this Plan has been extended by negotiated agreement to Employees covered by the terms of such agreements. Individuals not initially treated and classified by the Corporation as common-law employees, including, but not limited to, leased employees, independent contractors or any other contract employees, shall be excluded from participation irrespective of whether a court, administrative agency or other entity determines that such individuals are common-law employees.

2.14 Retirement Plan. “Retirement Plan” shall mean any plan, fund, or program which was heretofore or is hereafter established or maintained by the Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries and which is qualified under Code Section 401 to the extent that by its express terms or as a result of surrounding circumstances such plan, fund or program:

(a) provides retirement income to Employees; or

(b) results in a deferral of income by Employees for periods extending to the termination of covered employment or beyond,

regardless of the method of calculating the contributions made to the plan, the method of calculating the benefits under the plan or the method of distributing benefits from the plan.

2.15 Separation from Service. “Separation from Service” shall have the meaning set forth in Code Section 409A.

SECTION 3

SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS DUE TO LIMITATIONS

UNDER DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

3.01 Participation. Eligibility for participation for any benefits provided under Section 3.03 shall be extended to Employees covered under a benefit structure identified in Appendix A either who are members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees with benefits payable under such benefit structure restricted due to the limitations of Code Section 401(a)(17) or whose benefits payable thereunder are restricted due to Code Section 415 limitations.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, an Employee shall not be eligible for a benefit under Section 3.03 if such Employee is eligible for benefits under an Appendix (other than Appendix A)

3

or an agreement with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries where such Appendix or agreement provides benefits in lieu of benefits described in Section 3.03 unless such Appendix or agreement provides otherwise.

3.02 Transition Rules.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein with respect to Grandfathered Amounts, any benefit pursuant to this Plan distribution of which commenced prior to January 1, 2009, shall continue to be paid in the same amount and in the same time and form of payment as elected by the Participant prior to January 1, 2009.

(b) A Participant with a Plan benefit that is solely a Grandfathered Amount the distribution of which has not commenced prior to January 1, 2009, shall be eligible for a Plan benefit in accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect as of the date of such Participant’s termination of employment, without regard to any forms of benefit that are no longer available under the Defined Benefit Plan of which the Participant is a member as of the date distribution of such Participant’s benefit commences.

3.03 Supplemental Benefit Due to Limitations Under Defined Benefit Plans.

The benefit payable to or on behalf of a Participant eligible under Section 3.01 with a Determination Date on or after January 1, 2009, other than a Participant described in Section 3.02 above, shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (X) over (Y) as follows:

(X) The total benefit that would have been provided to the Participant under the various Defined Benefit Plans of which the Participant is a member without regard to the limitations of Code Sections 415 or 401(a)(17), where such benefit is calculated in the form of a single life annuity payable as of the Determination Date.

(Y) The benefit that would have been payable to the Participant under the various Defined Benefit Plans of which the Participant is a member, after giving effect to the limitations of Code Section 415 and 401(a)(17) where such benefit is calculated in the form of a single life annuity payable as of the Determination Date.

However, calculation of the benefit pursuant to this Section shall reflect any restrictions and/or modifications described in Appendix A that may be applicable to the Participant. In the event that the Determination Date of a Participant is earlier than when the Participant would first be eligible for early commencement of benefits from the underlying Defined Benefit Plan, the monthly amount payable upon such earlier commencement shall be reduced in accordance with the actuarial equivalent early commencement basis that would be applicable under the General Dynamics Salaried Retirement Plan for a Participant terminating prior to the attainment of age 55 but with ten years of service.

3.04 Forms of Distribution for Grandfathered Amounts. Any Grandfathered Amounts shall be subject to the distribution forms and elections under this Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004 to the extent that such forms continue to be available under the Defined Benefit Plan of which the

4

Participant is a member as of the date distribution of such Participant’s benefit commences, and such benefit shall be determined and payable as of such Defined Benefit Plan benefit commencement date.

3.05 Forms of Distribution for Benefits Without Lump-Sum Option. Payment of benefits under the Plan (other than with respect to Grandfathered Amounts), with respect to Defined Benefit Plans that as of January 1, 2005, did not provide for a lump sum payment option, shall be as follows:

(a) The normal form of distribution of benefits subject to this Section 3.05 if the Participant is legally married at the Determination Date shall be in the form of a 100% Contingent Annuitant Option, which is a reduced retirement benefit payable to the Participant during his or her lifetime, with 100% of such retirement benefit continuing to and for the lifetime of the participant’s spouse, if such spouse survives the Participant.

(b) The normal form of distribution of benefits subject to this Section 3.05 if the Participant is not legally married at the Determination Date shall be in the form of a single life annuitant option, which is a retirement benefit payable to the Participant for the remainder of his or her lifetime.

3.06 Forms of Distribution for Benefits With Lump-Sum Option. Payment of benefits under the Plan (other than with respect to Grandfathered Amounts), with respect to Defined Benefit Plans that as of January 1, 2005, provided for a lump sum distribution option, shall be as follows:

(a) The normal form of distribution of benefits subject to this Section 3.06 with respect to benefits for which a lump sum option under the underlying Defined Benefit Plan was available as of January 1, 2005, shall be in a lump sum payment.

(b) The normal form of distribution of benefits subject to this Section 3.06 but not subject to Section 3.06(a) shall be (1) if the Participant was legally married at the Determination Date, in the form of a 100% Contingent Annuitant Option (as described in Section 3.05) and (2) if the Participant is not legally married at the Determination Date, in the form of a single life annuitant option (as described in Section 3.05).

3.07 Election of Alternative Annuity Forms. With respect to non-Grandfathered Amounts that are payable under Sections 3.05 or 3.06(b), a Participant may elect, at any time prior to the Determination Date, to change from the normal form of distribution to another optional form of distribution with an Actuarial Equivalent Value that is provided for in the underlying Defined Benefit Plan.

3.08 Distribution Date of non-Grandfathered Amounts.

(a) Later of Age 55 or 6 Months Following Separation From Service. Except as provided in paragraph (b), below, distribution of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan (other than with respect to Grandfathered Amounts) shall commence on the Participant’s Determination Date; provided however that distribution of such

5

benefits shall commence no earlier than the first day of the first month that is more than 6 months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. Payments that are delayed pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence shall be accumulated with interest during such deferral period based on the third segment rate in effect in November of the year prior to the year in which the Determination Date occurs and with application of the §417(e)(3)(D) adjustment for plan years beginning prior to 2012.

(b) Disability. If the Participant incurs a “disability” (as defined in Code Section 409A), distribution of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (other than with respect to Grandfathered Amounts) shall commence upon the Participant’s attainment of age 65.

3.09 Small-Sum Cashout. In the event that the single lump sum Actuarial Equivalent Value of any benefit subject to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06(b), determined as of the Determination Date (or the date specified in Section 3.08(b), if applicable) is less than $100,000, such benefit shall be distributed in a single lump sum payment. In addition, in the event that the single lump sum Actuarial Equivalent Value of any benefit subject to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06, aggregated with benefits (other than Grandfathered Amounts) under other plans of the Corporation that are of a “single type” with this Plan pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(c)(2), is less than the applicable dollar amount under § 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, the Corporation shall have the discretion to distribute such amount in a single lump sum payment.

3.10 Reemployment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.10, there will be no suspension of benefits under this Plan in the event of reemployment of the Participant by the Corporation or any Subsidiary following the Participant’s Determination Date. Re-employment of a Participant following such Participant’s Determination Date shall not affect the Participant’s rights to continued receipt of benefits previously earned by such Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant who is receiving Grandfathered Amounts is reemployed with the Corporation or an affiliate of the Corporation and, in connection with such reemployment, his Defined Benefit Plan benefit payment is suspended, payment of his Grandfathered Amounts will be suspended for the same period. Payment of such Grandfathered Amounts will recommence at the same time as his or her benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan and recommencement of the Grandfathered Amounts will be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Plan to reflect the period of suspension and benefits previously paid. However, any additional benefits earned attributable to service associated with the Grandfathered Amounts shall be treated as non-Grandfathered Amounts.

3.11 Distribution of Benefit. In accordance with the provisions of Section 409A, distributions of a Participant’s benefits (other than Grandfathered Amounts) shall be paid or commence no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the third (3^rd) month following the date on which payment of benefits is scheduled to commence pursuant to Section 3.08.

SECTION 4

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS

4.01 Participation. Recognizing the need to make special retirement and other compensation or employee benefit provisions for certain Employees of Employing Units, the Corporation may, from time to time and in its best judgment, designate groups of select management or highly compensated employees as being eligible to receive additional benefits, substitute benefits, or more restrictive benefits than are found in Section 3.03 of the Plan. Any such Employees or groups of Employees shall be described in Appendices attached to this Plan or in other agreements with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

Such Employees shall not be eligible for a benefit under Section 3.03 to the extent such appendices or agreements provide for benefits in lieu of benefits described in Section 3.03 unless such Appendix or agreement provides otherwise. For those Employees with individual agreements, unless expressly provided in the agreement, the provisions of this Plan shall not apply to the benefit attributable to such agreement.

4.02 Benefits. Such benefits may be provided only to select management or highly compensated employees in such amounts as the Corporation determines are appropriate.

SECTION 5

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

5.01 Construction. In the construction of the Plan the masculine shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural in all cases where such meanings would be appropriate. This Plan shall be construed, governed, regulated, and administered according to the laws of the State of Virginia.

5.02 Employment. The Plan is not an employment contract. Participation in the Plan shall not give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or upon dismissal or upon his voluntary termination of employment, to have any right, legal or equitable, under the Plan or any portion thereof, except as expressly granted by the Plan.

5.03 Non-alienability of Benefits. No benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void; and no such benefit shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the person entitled to such benefit, except as specifically provided in the Plan.

5.04 Facility of Payment. If any recipient of benefits is, in the judgment of the Corporation, legally incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment due him under the Plan, the Corporation may, unless and until claims shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or committee of such person, make such payment or any part thereof to such person’s spouse, children, or other legal entity deemed by the Corporation to have incurred expenses or assumed responsibility for the expenses of such person. Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment.

7

5.05 Discretionary Payment of Benefits. In any instance in which the Corporation in its sole and uncontrolled discretion believes such action to be in the best interest of the party entitled to receive any payment provided by this Plan, or to be in the best interests of the Corporation, Grandfathered Amounts payable in installments pursuant to the provisions of this Plan may be paid in a single lump sum, the amount of which shall be of Actuarial Equivalent Value to the benefits for which the lump sum is to be substituted. It is intended by this Section 5.05 to vest the Corporation with full discretion to administer this Plan with respect to Grandfathered Amounts and to determine when and under what circumstances deviations which accelerate payments of Grandfathered Amounts are necessary, desirable, or appropriate; and the Corporation shall have full power to authorize such deviations as regards each payee separately.

5.06 Obligation to Pay Amounts Hereunder.

(a) No trust fund, escrow account, or other segregation of assets need be established or made by the Corporation to guarantee, secure, or assure the payment of any amount payable hereunder. The Corporation’s obligation to make payments pursuant to this Plan shall constitute only a general contractual liability of the Corporation to individuals entitled to benefits hereunder and other actual or possible payees hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Payments hereunder shall be made only from such funds of the Corporation as it shall determine, and no individual entitled to benefits hereunder shall have any interest in any particular asset of the Corporation by reason of the existence of this Plan. It is expressly understood as a condition for receipt of any benefits under this Plan that the Corporation is not obligated to create a trust fund or escrow account, or to segregate any asset of the Corporation in any fashion.

(b) The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, establish segregated funds, escrow accounts, or trust funds whose primary purpose would be for the provision of benefits under this Plan. If such funds or accounts are established, however, individuals entitled to benefits hereunder shall not have any identifiable interest in any such funds or accounts nor shall such individuals be entitled to any preference or priority with respect to the assets of such funds or accounts. These funds and accounts would still be available to judgment creditors of the Corporation and to all creditors in the event of the Corporation’s insolvency or bankruptcy.

(c) A former Employee is not entitled to a benefit under this Plan to the extent that the liability for such benefit has been transferred to or assumed by a successor to all or any portion of the business of the Corporation.

5.07 Administration.

(a) Administrative Provisions of Defined Benefit Plans. To the extent consistent with the purposes and provisions of this Plan and as may be deemed necessary or advisable in the best judgment of the Corporation, the Plan shall be operated under the Administrative and General Provisions of the Defined Benefit Plans.

8

(b) Claims Procedures. Any application for benefits, inquiries about the Plan or inquiries about present or future rights under the Plan must be submitted in writing to the person or persons (the “Claims Administrator”) selected by the Corporation or, at the election of the Corporation, by the Corporation’s Employee Benefit Appeals Committee (the Company or such Employee Benefit Appeals Committee being hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”), as follows:

(i) In the event that any application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Claims Administrator must notify the applicant, in written or electronic format, of the denial of the application, and of the applicant’s right to review the denial. The notice of denial will be set forth in a manner designed to be understood by the applicant, and will include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the Plan provision upon which the denial is based, a description of any information or material that the Claims Administrator needs to complete the review, and an explanation of the Plan’s review procedure.

(ii) This notice will be given to the applicant within ninety (90) days after the Claims Administrator receives the application, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case, the Claims Administrator has up to an additional ninety (90) days for processing the application. If an extension of time for processing is required, written or electronic notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial ninety (90)-day period.

(iii) This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Claims Administrator is to render his or her decision on the application. The applicant will then be permitted to appeal the denial in accordance with the Review Procedure described below.

(iv) Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, may appeal the denial by submitting a request for a review to the Claims Administrator within 60 days after the application is denied. The Claims Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her representative) a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of a claim and adverse benefit determination, including: (A) the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits; (B) the provision, upon request and free of charge, of reasonable access to and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (C) a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. A request for a review shall be in writing and shall be addressed to:

General Dynamics Corporation

2941 Fairview Park Drive

Falls Church, Virginia 22042

(v) A request for review must set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the applicant feels are pertinent. The Claims Administrator may require the applicant to submit additional facts, documents or other material as he or she may find necessary or appropriate in making his or her review.

(vi) The Claims Administrator will act on each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), for processing the request for a review. If an extension for review is required, written or electronic notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial sixty (60)-day period. The Claims Administrator will give prompt, written or electronic notice of his or her decision to the applicant. In the event that the Claims Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant: (A) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination, (B) the specific Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, (C) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, (D) a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

(vii) The Claims Administrator may establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out his or her responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims. The Claims Administrator may require an applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.

(viii) No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until the applicant (A) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described by paragraph (i) above, (B) has been notified by the Claims Administrator that the application is denied, (C) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in paragraph (iv) above and (D) has been notified in writing or electronically that the Claims Administrator has denied the appeal.

10

(c) Committee. Unless otherwise provided by the Corporation, the Committee shall rule in place of the Corporation and the Committee’s ruling shall be the final decision of the Corporation. Benefits shall be paid under the Plan only if the Corporation or the Committee in its sole discretion, determines that a Participant is entitled to them. There shall be no duplication of benefits between this Plan and its Appendices and any other plan or agreement with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries for the same period of service unless otherwise specifically stated in the Plan, Appendices or such other plan or agreement.

SECTION 6

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

6.01 Amendment. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation reserves the right to modify or amend this Plan in whole or in part, effective as of any specified date; provided, however, that the Chairman shall have no authority to modify or amend the Plan with respect to the benefit provided by Section 3.03 to:

(a) reduce any benefit accrued hereunder based on service and compensation to the date of amendment unless such action is necessary to prevent this Plan from being subject to any provision of Title I, Subtitle B, Parts 2, 3 or 4 of ERISA;

(b) permit the accrual, holding or payment of actual shares of General Dynamics Corporation common stock under the Plan.

6.02 Termination.

(a) The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation reserves the right to terminate this Plan, in whole or in part. This Plan shall be automatically terminated upon a dissolution of the Corporation (but not upon a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, or acquisition of a controlling interest in the voting stock of the Corporation by another); upon the Corporation being legally adjudicated as bankrupt; upon the appointment of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy with respect to the Corporation’s assets and business if such appointment is not set aside within ninety (90) days thereafter; or upon the making by the Corporation of an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(b) Upon termination of this Plan, no additional Employees shall become entitled to receive all benefits hereunder; and all benefits accrued through the date of termination (calculated as if the date of such termination were the date on which the Employee’s employment ceased) will become non-forfeitable.

6.03 Delegation. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may delegate his powers under this Section 6 by written delegation.

6.04 Section 409A. It is intended that any income or payments provided pursuant to the Plan will not be subject to the additional tax and interest under Code Section 409A, and all regulations issued thereunder and applicable guidance thereto (“Section 409A”), and the Plan shall be

11

interpreted and construed on a basis consistent with such intent. The preceding shall not be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax treatment of any amounts paid or payable hereunder.

The benefit payable to a surviving spouse shall be paid monthly commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which the Tier II Employee dies.

(2) In the event that an Appendix D Employee elects to receive a supplementary retirement benefit with respect to Grandfathered Amounts other than in the single life annuity form and/or other than at age 65, the amount of such benefits shall be actuarially adjusted using the actuarial table and interest rates then in effect for the GSC Legacy Plan.
