During fiscal 2012, 742,000 shares were repurchased for $50.0 million. On January 31, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $200 million worth of shares of the Company common stock, executable over the next two years. The Company repurchased 1,003,938 shares for $59.5 million in fiscal 2013, and 609,922 shares for $52.1 million during fiscal 2014 under this program. On January 29, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors extended the share repurchase program through March 31, 2015. No shares were purchased under this extension. On March 11, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program of up to the lesser of one million shares or $75 million through December 31, 2015. No shares were purchased under this program through March 31, 2015. |

The prior year rate reflects lower pension expense including the effect of the Radford segment close-out. |
• | The increase in the current period income tax rate to 33.5% from 28.2% in fiscal 2014 is primarily due to the goodwill impairment and nondeductible transaction costs, partially offset by increased benefits from the Domestic Manufacturing Deduction (DMD), true-up of prior-year taxes, change in valuation allowance and lower state income taxes. |

• | As part of its acquisition of the Hercules Aerospace Company in fiscal 1995, we generally assumed responsibility for environmental compliance at the facilities acquired from Hercules (the "Hercules Facilities"). We believe that a portion of the compliance and remediation costs associated with the Hercules Facilities will be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts. If we were unable to recover those environmental remediation costs under these contracts, we believe these costs will be covered by Hercules Incorporated, a subsidiary of Ashland Inc., ("Hercules") under environmental agreements entered into in connection with the Hercules acquisition. Under these agreements, Hercules has agreed to indemnify us for environmental conditions relating to releases or hazardous waste activities occurring prior to our purchase of the Hercules Facilities as long as they were identified in accordance with the terms of the agreement; fines relating to pre-acquisition environmental compliance; and environmental claims arising out of breaches of Hercules' representations and warranties. Hercules is not required to indemnify us for any individual claims below $50,000. Hercules is obligated to indemnify us for the lowest cost response of remediation required at the facility that is acceptable to the applicable regulatory agencies. We are not responsible for conducting any remedial activities with respect to the Clearwater, FL facility. In accordance with its agreement with Hercules, we notified Hercules of all known contamination on non-federal lands on or before March 31, 2000, and on federal lands on or before March 31, 2005. |

• | As part of its acquisition of the Hercules Aerospace Company in fiscal 1995, the Company generally assumed responsibility for environmental compliance at the facilities acquired from Hercules ("the Hercules Facilities"). The Company believes that a portion of the compliance and remediation costs associated with the Hercules Facilities will be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts. If the Company were unable to recover those environmental remediation costs under these contracts, the Company believes that these costs will be covered by Hercules Incorporated, a subsidiary of Ashland Inc., ("Hercules") under environmental agreements entered into in connection with the Hercules acquisition. Under these agreements, Hercules has agreed to indemnify the Company for environmental conditions relating to releases or hazardous waste activities occurring prior to the Company's purchase of the Hercules Facilities as long as they were identified in accordance with the terms of the agreement; fines relating to pre-acquisition environmental compliance; and environmental claims arising out of breaches of Hercules' representations and warranties. Hercules is not required to indemnify the Company for any individual claims below $50,000. Hercules is obligated to indemnify the Company for the lowest cost response of remediation required at the facility that is acceptable to the applicable regulatory agencies. The Company is not responsible for conducting any remedial activities with respect to the Clearwater, FL facility. In accordance with its agreement with Hercules, the Company notified Hercules of all known contamination on non-federal lands on or before March 31, 2000, and on federal lands on or before March 31, 2005. |
• | The Company generally assumed responsibility for environmental compliance at the Thiokol Facilities acquired from Alcoa Inc. ("Alcoa") in fiscal 2002. The Company expects that a portion of the compliance and remediation costs associated with the acquired Thiokol Facilities will be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts. In accordance with its agreement with Alcoa, the Company notified Alcoa of all known environmental remediation issues as of January 30, 2004. Of these known issues, the Company is responsible for any costs not recovered through U.S. Government contracts at Thiokol Facilities up to $14,000, the Company and Alcoa have agreed to split evenly any amounts between $14,000 and $34,000, and the Company is responsible for any payments in excess of $34,000. At this time, the Company believes that costs not recovered through U.S. Government contracts will be immaterial. |

(iv) | as adjusted pursuant to the terms of any employment agreement or any separate written agreement between Alliant (or an affiliate of Alliant) and the Participating Employee; minus |

(b) | The provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.1.2 shall apply to any Participating Employee who terminated employment before January 1, 2005 and accrued no benefit under this Plan after December 31, 2004, but who does not receive or begin to receive benefits under the applicable Pension Plan on or before December 31, 2006. |
(c) | Each Participating Employee identified on Schedule 2 attached to this Plan shall be permitted to elect on or before December 31, 2005 to receive benefits under this Plan in the form of a lump sum or any other form of payment available under the applicable Pension Plan.

In the case of payments in a form other than a lump sum, the first such payment to a Participating Employee who is a “key employee” shall include the amounts of the monthly payments for the preceding six months.

Retirement Formula, the ATK Pension Equity Formula or the ATK Cash Balance Formula under the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan, or (B) the Thiokol Pension Equity Formula or Thiokol Cash Balance Formula under the Thiokol Propulsion Pension Plan, shall be their Account Balances (as that term is defined under those benefit structures, respectively). Lump sum payments made after January 31, 2007 shall be credited with simple interest for the period from January 1, 2007 until the date of payment at a rate equal to the greater of 6% or the rate described in section 417(e) of the Code, as in effect under the Pension Plan on January 1, 2007. |

All lump sum amounts paid under this Subsection (e) shall be determined as of the date of termination of employment, based on the mortality table described in section 417(e) of the Code and an interest rate that is the greater of 6% or the interest rate described in section 417(e) of the Code (as in effect under the Pension Plan on the first day of the month following termination of employment), except that lump sums for Participating Employees covered by the benefit structures known as (A) the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Retirement Formula, the ATK Pension Equity Formula or the ATK Cash Balance Formula under the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan, or (B) the Thiokol Pension Equity Formula or Thiokol Cash Balance Formula under the Thiokol Propulsion Pension Plan, shall be their Account Balances (as that term is defined under those benefit structures, respectively). |
(f) | For purposes of Section 4.6.2 and subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 4.1.2, for lump sums calculated using the stated interest and mortality factors, lump sum amounts shall be determined on the basis of (i) the immediate annuity to which the Participating Employee is entitled under the applicable Pension Plan in the case of a Participating Employee who is entitled to an immediate annuity under the applicable Pension Plan, or (ii) the annuity to which the Participating Employee is entitled at Normal Retirement Age (as that term is defined in the applicable Pension Plan) under the applicable Pension Plan in the case of a Participating Employee who is not entitled to an immediate annuity under the applicable Pension Plan. |
(g) | Any reference in this Plan to termination of employment shall mean the separation from service with Alliant and all entities treated as members of the same controlled group with Alliant under section 414(b) or (c) of the Code. Controlled group membership shall be determined by substituting “at least 50 percent” for “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) of the Code, and by substituting “at least 50 percent” for “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Treas.

(now Orbital ATK, Inc.) 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a Performance Award as of the date, and for the number of Shares (the “Performance Shares”), which the Company or its agent provided to you separately in writing through an electronic notice and on-line award acceptance web page (the “Electronic Notice and On-Line Award Acceptance”). |
2. | Measuring Period. The Measuring Period for purposes of determining whether the Company will pay you the Performance Shares shall be the three-fiscal-year period beginning April 1, 2015. |
3. | Performance Goals. The Performance Goals for purposes of determining whether the Company will pay you the Performance Shares are set forth in the Performance Accountability Chart, which the Company provided to you separately in writing. |
4. | Payment. The Company will pay you the Performance Shares if and to the extent that the Performance Goals are achieved, as set forth in the Performance Accountability Chart and as determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee has the discretion to adjust the payment level downward from the level of performance actually achieved. |
5. | Form and Timing of Payment. The Company will pay you any shares payable pursuant to this Agreement in shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), with one Share issued for each Performance Share earned. The Company will pay you the Performance Shares as soon as practicable after the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, after the end of the Measuring Period, whether, and the extent to which, the Performance Goals have been achieved, but in no event later than 2 ½ months after the end of the Measuring Period. |
6. | Change in Control. After a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), the Performance Shares shall immediately be payable at the threshold performance level, but prorated for your active service time with the Company during the Measuring Period.

The Committee reserves the right to recoup Awards, or the value of Awards, from you in the event there is a material restatement of the Company’s financial results. If the Committee determines a recoupment is appropriate in the exercise of its discretion, considering all the facts and circumstances, you shall forfeit and pay back such portion, or all, of the outstanding or previously awarded Awards as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.This recoupment provision includes Awards deferred into the ATK Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. |
8. | Holding Requirement. You will be required to retain at least 50% of the net number of Shares earned under the terms of this Agreement until you cease to be an executive officer of the Company. See the Stock Holding Policy for additional information. |

1.1 | “Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, an entry on the records of the Employer equal to the sum of the Participant’s Annual Accounts. The Account Balance shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan. |
1.2 | “Annual Account” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, an entry on the records of the Employer equal to the following amount: (i) the sum of the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount, Company Contribution Amount and Company Restoration Matching Amount for any one Plan Year, plus (ii) amounts credited or debited to such amounts pursuant to this Plan, less (iii) all distributions made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to the Annual Account for such Plan Year. The Annual Account shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan. |
1.3 | “Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant's Base Salary, Performance Cash and Performance Shares that a Participant defers in accordance with Article 3 for any one Plan Year, without regard to whether such amounts are withheld and credited during such Plan Year. In the |
1.4 | “Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as follows: (i) for the first annual installment, the Participant’s vested portion of each Annual Account shall be calculated as of the close of business on the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date, and (ii) for remaining annual installments, the vested portion of each applicable Annual Account shall be calculated on each anniversary of the Benefit Distribution Date (or if such calculation date is not a business day, the preceding business day). Each annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a 10-year Annual Installment Method as the form of Retirement Benefit for an Annual Account, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the vested balance of such Annual Account, calculated as described in this definition. The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the vested balance of such Annual Account, calculated as described in this definition. |
1.5 | “Annual Performance Share Amount” shall mean the portion of the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount, if any, representing Performance Shares deferred in accordance with Article 3 of the Plan. Annual Performance Share Amounts shall be credited to the Performance Share Accounts of Participants, determined by the number of performance shares that would otherwise be paid based upon the achievement of the performance goals and the other requirements for the payment of performance shares, but for the election to defer. |
1.6 | “Base Salary” shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed during any calendar year, excluding distributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plans, bonuses, commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, profit sharing contributions, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive payments, non-monetary awards, and automobile and other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in the Employee’s gross income). Base Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or nonqualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant's gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in compensation only to the extent that had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Employee. In no event shall Base Salary include any amounts payable to the Participant prior to the commencement of his or her participation in this Plan. |
1.7 | “Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated in accordance with Article 10, that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the death of a Participant. |
1.8 | “Beneficiary Designation Form” shall mean the form established from time to time by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources that a Participant completes, signs and returns to the Company to designate one or more Beneficiaries. |

For these elections to be valid, the Election Form must be completed and signed by the Participant, timely delivered to the Company (in accordance with Section 2.2 above) and accepted by the Company. |
(b) | Subsequent Plan Years. For each succeeding Plan Year, an irrevocable deferral election for that Plan Year, and such other elections as the Senior Vice President of Human Resources (or in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee) deems necessary or desirable under the Plan, shall be made by timely delivering a new Election Form to the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, before the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the election is made.

As of the date on which such restricted stock amounts vest, such Participant’s Performance Share Account shall be credited with the number of units equal to the number of shares of ATK common stock that would have otherwise been delivered to the Participant. Such units shall become payable in accordance with the terms of this Plan statement (and not the Prior Plan Statement). Restricted stock deferrals which vested and were credited to this Plan on or prior to December 31, 2004 shall be governed exclusively under the terms of the Prior Plan Statement. |

The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive a Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The Company Contribution Amount described in this Section 3.5, if any, shall be credited to the Participant’s Annual Account for the applicable Plan Year on a date or dates to be determined by the CEO (or the Committee as applicable), in his or her sole discretion. |
3.6 | Company Restoration Matching Amount. A Participant's Company Restoration Matching Amount for any Plan Year shall be the amount necessary to make up for the lost share, if any, of matching contributions (but not elective deferred contributions) under the 401(k) Plan attributable to the Participant’s deferrals under this Plan that would have otherwise been allocated to the account of the Participant under the 401(k) Plan for such Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant |
3.7 | Crediting of Amounts after Benefit Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if the complete distribution of a Participant’s vested Account Balance occurs prior to the date on which any portion of (i) the Annual Deferral Amount that a Participant has elected to defer in accordance with Section 3.3, (ii) the Company Contribution Amount, or (iii) the Company Restoration Matching Amount, would otherwise be credited to the Participant’s Account Balance, such amounts shall not be credited to the Participant’s Account Balance, but shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the amount can be determined. |
3.8 | Vesting. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Account Balance; provided, however, that a Participant shall be vested in any Company Contribution Amount credited to his or her Company Contribution Account in accordance with the vesting schedule(s) set forth in his or her employment agreement or any other agreement entered into between the Participant and his or her Employer, or as declared by the CEO (or, in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee). A different vesting schedule may apply to each Company Contribution Amount credited to the Participant’s Company Contribution Account. If no vesting schedule is specified in such agreements or declared by the CEO or Committee, as applicable, a Company Contribution Amount shall be 100% vested. |
3.9 | Crediting and Debiting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the PIC, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant's Account Balance in accordance with the following rules: |
(a) | Measurement Funds. The Participant may elect one or more of the measurement funds selected by the PIC, in its sole discretion, which are based on certain mutual funds or other collective investment vehicles (the “Measurement Funds”), for the purpose of crediting or debiting additional amounts to his or her Account Balance (other than the Performance Share Account). As necessary, the PIC may, in its sole discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund. Each such action will take effect as of the first day of the first calendar quarter that begins at least 30 days after the day on which the PIC gives Participants advance written notice of such change. |
(b) | Election of Measurement Funds. A Participant, in connection with his or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.3(a) above, shall elect, on the Election Form, one or more Measurement Fund(s) (as described in Section 3.9(a) above) to be used to determine the amounts to be credited or debited to his or her Account Balance (other than the Performance Share Account). If a Participant does not elect any of the Measurement Funds as described in the previous sentence, the Participant’s Account Balance (other than the Performance Share Account) shall automatically be allocated into the money market Measurement Fund, as determined by the PIC from time to time, in its sole discretion. The Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Company |
(c) | Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section 3.9(b) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of 1%, the percentage of his or her Account Balance or Measurement Fund, as applicable, to be allocated/reallocated. |
(d) | Annual Performance Share Amounts. Annual Performance Shares Amounts shall be allocated to the ATK common stock Measuring Fund as of the date on which such performance shares would otherwise have been paid under the applicable Company stock incentive plan, and the Participant’s Performance Share Account shall be credited with the number of units equal to the number of shares of ATK common stock that would have otherwise been delivered to the Participant. |
(i) | Cash Dividends. An amount shall be credited on any cash dividend payment date in that number of units equal to the number of shares that could have been purchased on the dividend payment date, based upon the closing price of ATK common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for such date, with the value of the cash dividends paid on shares of stock equal to the number of units credited to the Performance Share Account as of the record date for such dividend. |
(ii) | Changes in ATK Common Stock. In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Company’s common stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number, value and/or type of units that are credited to the Participants’ Performance Share Account. |
(iii) | Voting. No Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled to any voting rights with respect to any units credited to the Performance Share Account. |
(e) | Crediting or Debiting Method. The performance of each Measurement Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined on a daily basis based on the manner in which such Participant’s Account Balance has been hypothetically allocated among the Measurement Funds by the Participant. |
(f) | No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant's election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation of his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant's Account Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investments on which the Measurement Funds are based, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant's Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company. |
(a) | Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Annual Deferral Amount. If necessary, the Company may reduce the Annual Deferral Amount in order to comply with this Section 3.10. |
(b) | Company Restoration Matching Account and Company Contribution Account. When a Participant’s Annual Account is credited with a Company Restoration Matching Amount and/or Company Contribution Amount (or, if such amount is subject to a vesting schedule, when such Participant is vested in such amount), the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Company Restoration Matching Amount and/or Company Contribution Amount. If necessary, the Company may reduce the vested portion of the Participant’s Company Restoration Matching Account or Company Contribution Account, as applicable, in order to comply with this Section 3.10. |
(c) | Distributions. The Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer(s) and the trustee of the Trust. |
4.1 | Scheduled Distribution. In connection with each election to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a Scheduled Distribution, in the form of a lump sum payment, from the Plan with respect to all or a portion of the Annual Account (excluding Annual Performance Share Amounts and Company Contribution Amounts). The Scheduled Distribution shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is equal to the portion of the Annual Account the Participant elected to have distributed as a Scheduled Distribution, plus amounts credited or debited |
4.2 | Postponing Scheduled Distributions. A Participant may elect to postpone a Scheduled Distribution described in Section 4.1 above, and have such amount paid out during a 60-day period commencing immediately after an allowable alternative distribution date designated by the Participant in accordance with this Section 4.2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret this Section 4.3 in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including but not limited to guidance issued after the effective date of this Plan. |

6.2 | Payment of Termination Benefit. In connection with a Participant’s election to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, the Participant shall elect to receive each Annual Account in a lump sum payment: (i) no later than 60 days after the last day of the six-month period immediately following the date on which the Participant experiences a Termination of Employment or (ii) no later than 60 days after the first anniversary of such Termination of Employment. If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the Annual Account, the Annual Account shall be paid to the Participant no later than 60 days after the last day of the six-month period immediately following the date on which the Participant experiences a Termination of Employment. |
7.1 | Disability Benefit. Upon a Participant’s Disability, the Participant shall receive a Disability Benefit, which shall be equal to the Participant's vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business on the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date (or on the immediately preceding business day if such date is not a business day). |
7.2 | Payment of Disability Benefit. The Disability Benefit shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum payment no later than 60 days after the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date. |
8.1 | Death Benefit. The Participant's Beneficiary(ies) shall receive a Death Benefit upon the Participant's death which will be equal to the Participant's vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business on the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date (or on the immediately preceding business day if such date is not a business day). |
8.2 | Payment of Death Benefit. The Death Benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum payment no later than 60 days after the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Date. In no event, however, shall the Death Benefit be paid later than the later of (i) 90 days after the date of the Participant’s death or (ii) the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant’s death occurs. |
9.1 | Payment in Cash or Common Stock. Payment of a Participant’s Annual Account shall be made in cash; provided, however, that payment of the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance attributable to the Participant’s Performance Share Account, if any, shall be made, net of withholding taxes, exclusively in shares of the Company’s common stock. |
9.2 | Relation to Stock Incentive Plan. Benefits attributable to Performance Share Accounts which are paid in shares of the Company’s common stock are subject to any applicable terms, conditions and restrictions required by the applicable Company stock incentive plan. |
10.1 | Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates. |
10.2 | Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. A Participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning it to the Company. A Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Company's rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Participant names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, the Senior Vice President of Human Resources may, in his or her sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, executed by such Participant's spouse and returned to the Company. Upon the acceptance by the Company of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Company shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Company prior to his or her death. |
10.3 | Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the Company. |
10.4 | No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 above or, if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant's benefits, then the Participant's designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the executor or personal representative of the Participant's estate. |
10.5 | Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Senior Vice President of Human Resources has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, he or she shall have the right, exercisable in his or her discretion, to cause the Participant's Employer to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to his or her satisfaction. |
10.6 | Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Company, the Employer, the Committee and the Vice President of Human Resources from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant. |
11.1 | Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant's Employer to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, (i) the Participant shall continue to be considered eligible for the benefits provided in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in accordance with the provisions of those Articles, and (ii) the Annual Deferral Amount shall continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.3. |
12.1 | Termination of Plan. Although the Company anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to Terminate the Plan (as defined in Section 1.43). In the event of a Termination of the Plan, the Measurement Funds available to Participants following the Termination of the Plan shall be comparable in number and type to those Measurement Funds available to Participants in the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Termination of the Plan is effective. Following a Termination of the Plan, Participant Account Balances shall remain in the Plan until the Participant becomes eligible for the benefits provided in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in accordance with the provisions of those Articles. The Termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination; provided, however, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to immediately pay all benefits in a lump sum following such Termination of the Plan, if (i)(A) Termination is not proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company, (B) the Company terminates all arrangements required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code Section 409A, (C) lump sum payments are made between 12 and 24 months following Termination of the Plan, and (D) the Company does not establish a new plan that would have been aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Code Section 409A within three years following Termination of the Plan, or (ii) Termination is in connection with dissolution or change in control of the Company, or such other circumstances permitted by applicable guidance, and in accordance with such other corresponding conditions required by Code Section 409A and regulations or other guidance issued thereunder. |
12.2 | Amendment. |
(a) | The Committee may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall be effective to decrease the value of a Participant's vested Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment is made. In no event shall the Company, the Employer or the Committee be responsible for any decline in a Participant’s Account Balance as a result of the selection, discontinuation, addition, substitution, crediting or debiting of the Measurement Funds pursuant to Section 3.9. |
(b) | Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any provision of the Plan may cause amounts deferred under the Plan to become immediately taxable to any Participant under Code Section 409A, and related |
12.3 | Effect of Payment. The full payment of the Participant’s vested Account Balance under Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan. |
13.1 | Committee Duties. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, this Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan. When making a determination or calculation, the Company, Committee and the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant. |
13.2 | Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to any Employer. |
13.3 | Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan. |
13.4 | Indemnity. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee, the PIC, the PRC, the CEO, the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, any Employee to whom duties have been or may be delegated under this Plan, and the Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of an individual’s willful misconduct. |
13.5 | Employer Information. To enable the Committee and/or Administrator to perform its functions, the Company and each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Committee and/or Administrator, as the case may be, on all matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the date and circumstances of the Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment of its Participants, and such other pertinent information as the Committee or Administrator may reasonably require. |
14.1 | Coordination with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant's Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Participant's Employer. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided. |
15.1 | Presentation of Claim. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the PRC (or in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee) a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within 60 days after such notice was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant. |
15.2 | Notification of Decision. The PRC (or in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee) shall consider a Claimant's claim within a reasonable time, but no later than 90 days (45 days in the case of a determination of Disability) after receiving the claim. If the PRC or the Committee, as applicable, determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period (45-day period in the case of a determination of Disability, or initial 30-day extension of such 45-day period). In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial period (in the case of a determination of Disability, an initial extension of 30 days, or an additional subsequent extension of an additional 30 days). The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the PRC or the Committee expects to render the benefit determination. The PRC or the Committee, as applicable, shall notify the Claimant in writing: |
(a) | that the Claimant's requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or |
(b) | that the PRC or the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the Claimant's requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant: |
(i) | the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it; |
(ii) | specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which such denial was based; |
(iii) | 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; |
(iv) | an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in Section 15.3 below; and |
(v) | a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review. |
15.3 | Review of a Denied Claim. On or before 60 days (180 days in the case of a determination of Disability) after receiving a notice from the PRC (or in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee) that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant's duly authorized representative) may file with the PRC or the Committee, as applicable, a written request for a review of the denial of the claim. The Claimant (or the Claimant's duly authorized representative): |
(a) | may, upon request and free of charge, have reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits; |
(b) | may submit written comments or other documents; and/or |
(c) | may request a hearing, which the PRC or the Committee (as applicable), in its sole discretion, may grant. |
15.4 | Decision on Review. The PRC (or in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee) shall render its decision on review promptly, and no later than 60 days (45 days in the case of a determination of Disability) after the receipt of the Claimant’s written request for a review of the denial of the claim. If the PRC or the Committee, as applicable, determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 60-day period (45-day period in the case of a determination of Disability). In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 60 days (45 days in the case of a determination of Disability) from the end of the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the PRC or the Committee, as applicable, expects to render the benefit determination. In rendering its decision, the PRC or the Committee, as applicable, shall take 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. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 15.4 to the contrary, all decisions on review of a determination of Disability shall be made by the Committee (or the Board in the case of a Section 16 Officer). The decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain: |
(a) | specific reasons for the decision; |
(b) | specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based; |
(c) | a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; and |
(d) | a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a). |
15.5 | Legal Action. A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 15 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant's right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan. Any legal action must be brought within two years after the Claimant knew or should have known of the principal facts on which the claim is based or, if earlier, 90 days after the procedure under this Article 15 is completed. |
15.6 | Determinations. Benefits under the Plan will be paid only if the PRC (or in the case of a Section 16 Officer, the Committee) decides in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to them. The PRC or the Committee, as applicable, has discretionary authority to grant or deny benefits under the Plan. The PRC shall have the sole discretion, authority and responsibility to interpret and construe this Plan Statement and all relevant documents and information, and to determine all factual and legal questions under the Plan, in relation to a person’s (other than a Section 16 Officer) claim for benefits. The Committee shall have the sole discretion, authority and responsibility to interpret and construe this Plan Statement and all relevant documents and information, and to determine all factual and legal questions under the Plan, including but not limited to the entitlement of all persons to benefits and the amounts of their benefits. The Committee’s discretionary authority shall include all matters arising under the Plan. |
16.1 | Establishment of the Trust. In order to provide assets from which to fulfill the obligations of the Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan, the Company may establish a trust by a trust agreement with a third party, the trustee, to which each Employer may, in its discretion, contribute cash or other property to provide for the benefit payments under the Plan, (the “Trust”). |
16.2 | Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of the Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the Company to the assets transferred to the Trust. The Company shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under the Plan. |
16.3 | Distributions From the Trust. The Company’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Company’s obligations under this Plan. |
17.1 | Status of Plan . The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1). The Plan shall be administered and interpreted (i) to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent and (ii) in accordance with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including but not limited to Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Code Section 409A. |
17.2 | Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Company. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. |
17.3 | Employer's Liability. The Company's liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan. The Company shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan. |
17.4 | Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise (including without limitation any domestic relations order, whether or not a “qualified domestic relations order” under section 414(p) of the Code and section 206(d) of ERISA) before the Account Balance is distributed to the Participant or Beneficiary. |
17.5 | Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company or any Employer and the Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Employer or to interfere with the right of the Company or any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time. |
17.6 | Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Company may deem necessary. |
17.7 | Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. |
17.8 | Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions. |
17.9 | Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. |
17.10 | Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the address below: |
ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS INC. |
Attn: ATK Executive Compensation Department |
5050 Lincoln Drive, MN01-3020 |
Edina, MN 55436 |
17.11 | Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiaries. |
17.12 | Spouse's Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse's will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession. |
17.13 | Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. |
17.14 | Incompetent. If the Senior Vice President of Human Resources determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person's property, he or she may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Senior Vice President of Human Resources may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount. |
17.15 | Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. The Company may determine that as a result of the application of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), a distribution payable to a Participant pursuant to this Plan would not be deductible if such distribution were made at the time required by the Plan. If the Company makes such a determination, then the distribution shall not be paid to the Participant until such time as the distribution first becomes deductible. The amount of the distribution shall continue to be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.9 above until it is distributed to the Participant. The amount of the distribution, plus amounts credited or debited thereon, shall be paid to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant's death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Company, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the Company during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret this provision in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including but not limited to guidance issued after the effective date of this Plan. |
17.16 | Insurance . The Company, on its own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in its sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose. The Company or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Company shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Company has applied for insurance. |
(a) | An Employee (including an Employee who is on an approved leave of absence from the Company) who transfers to employment with Vista Outdoor Inc., or one of its subsidiaries, from the Company on or before the Spin-Off Date; and |
(b) | An Employee who transfers to employment with Vista Outdoor Inc., or one of its subsidiaries, from the Company in accordance with the Agreement. |

409A | Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if you are determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and settling your Stock Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would result in the imposition of the tax set forth in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, then delivery of the shares of Stock represented by this Agreement shall be made on the date that is the earliest of (1) six months after your termination of Service, (2) your death or (3) such other date as will cause such payment not to be subject to such tax. |
