Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Directors at Lockheed Martin Corporation receive annual compensation in the form of a combination of equity and cash. Each director also has the option to defer all cash compensation and be credited with earnings as though the compensation had been invested in common stock. The Corporation’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer serves on the Board of Directors but is not separately compensated for his service as a director.

On October 27, 2006, as part of an annual review of director compensation, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the cash compensation to be paid to non-employee directors to $110,000 per annum (from $90,000 per annum previously). The increase is effective November 1, 2006 and will be prorated for the months of November and December 2006. Lockheed Martin pays non-employee directors on a quarterly basis, except that any non-employee director who is elected or who retires at any time of the year will be paid an amount prorated to reflect the portion of the year during which the individual serves as a director.

The Board of Directors also approved an amendment to the Lockheed Martin Directors Equity Plan to provide for the annual grant of equity-based awards with a fair market value on the date of grant of $110,000 (from $90,000 per annum previously). The amendment is effective on January 1, 2007. The Lockheed Martin Directors Equity Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2007, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

The Board of Directors determined to keep the fees paid to committee chairman at current levels. Effective November 1, 2006, the Chairman of the Classified Business Review Committee will receive an annual retainer of $12,500, which is the same level as the annual retainer paid to the non-employee Chairmen of each of the Board’s other standing committees (except for the Audit Committee Chairman). The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $20,000. The Corporation pays the committee chairman fees on a quarterly basis.

The Board of Directors also amended the Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, effective October 27, 2006 (the “Deferred Plan”), to allow directors to make or change future contributions to an investment account without requiring that the current balance of the account be transferred from the current investment election. A copy of the Deferred Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report.

(ii) Special Distribution Rules : Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the vested balance in a Director’s Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock Account at the time of termination has a Fair Market Value equal to or less than $10,000, then the balance shall be distributed in a lump sum in cash.

An election must be made prior to the Director’s termination of service as a Director and (i) at least twelve (12) months before the date the first payment would be due under the Participant’s previous election, and (ii) the first payment must be delayed by at least sixty (60) months from the date the first payment would be due under the Participant’s previous election. In the event an election fails to satisfy the terms of this Section 4.4(f), such election shall be void and payment of a Director’s Award shall commence under the Director’s previous valid election or, if none exists, shall be made in a lump sum.

4.5. Limitations on Rights Associated with Units . A Director’s Accounts shall be memorandum accounts on the books of the Corporation. The Units credited to a Director’s Accounts shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be distributed to such Director in accordance with this Plan. The Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind, and shall not create a security interest in any property although the Corporation shall reserve shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligations under this Plan.
