        <footnote id="F2">Under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Equity Plan, each non-employee director elects to receive an award of stock options or phantom stock units or a combination of stock options and phantom stock units in accordance with the plan, which awards are exempt transactions under Rule 16b-3.  The phantom stock units vest on the first anniversary of the grant or, if earlier, upon retirement, death or disability.  Settlement in cash or stock (as elected by the director) occurs upon the reporting person's retirement or termination of service.  End of period holdings include phantom stock units acquired through dividend reinvestment.</footnote>
