Item 4. Description of Securities. ------------------------- Deferred Compensation Payment Obligations Under the Deferred Performance Payment Plan of Lockheed Martin Corporation Space & Strategic Missiles Sector (the "Plan"), Lockheed Martin Corporation (the "Registrant") will provide eligible employees the opportunity to defer a specified portion of amounts payable under The Lockheed Martin Corporation Space & Strategic Missiles Sector Performance Plan for Employees in Key Assignments Essential/Critical to the Success of Sector Consolidation. The obligation of the Registrant to distribute the compensation deferred, as adjusted by interest accrued, if any, (the "Deferred Compensation Payment Obligation"), will be an unsecured general obligation of the Registrant to pay the deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and will rank pari passu with other unsecured general obligations of the Registrant. Distribution will be in cash. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. -------------------------------------- The Opinion of Counsel as to the legality of the securities being issued (constituting Exhibit 5-A) has been rendered by counsel who is a full-time employee of the Registrant. The Opinion of Counsel as to compliance with the requirements of ERISA (constituting Exhibit 5-B) has been rendered by counsel who is a full-time employee of the Registrant. Counsel rendering such opinions are not eligible to participate in the Plan. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. ----------------------------------------- The Maryland General Corporation Law authorizes Maryland corporations to limit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages, except (a) to the extent that it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received, (b) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the person's action or failure -2- to act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding or (c) in respect of certain other actions not applicable to the Registrant. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, unless limited by charter, indemnification is mandatory if a director or an officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding by reason of his or her service as a director unless such indemnification is not otherwise permitted as described in the following sentence. Indemnification is permissive unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her act or omission was unlawful. In addition to the foregoing, a court of appropriate jurisdiction may under certain circumstances order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director or officer has met the standards of conduct set forth in the preceding sentence or has been adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received in a proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director or officer. If the proceeding was an action by or in the right of the corporation or involved a determination that the director or officer received an improper personal benefit, however, no indemnification may be made if the individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent of expenses approved by a court of competent jurisdiction. Article XI of the Charter of the Registrant limits the liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law. Article XI of the Charter also authorizes the Registrant to adopt by-laws or resolutions to provide for the indemnification of directors and officers. Article VI of the By-laws of the Registrant provides for the indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law. In addition, the Registrant's directors and officers are covered by certain insurance policies maintained by the Registrant. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. ----------------------------------- Not Applicable Item 8. Exhibits. -------- 5-A. Opinion of Stephen M. Piper, Esquire. -3- 5-B. Opinion of Marian S. Block, Esquire. 23-A. Consent of Ernst & Young LLP. 23-B. Consent of Stephen M. Piper, Esquire (contained in Exhibit 5-A hereof). 23-C. Consent of Marian S. Block, Esquire (contained in Exhibit 5-B hereof). 24. Powers of Attorney. Item 9. Undertakings. ------------ (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that subparagraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of -4- 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. -5- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the County of Montgomery, State of Maryland on the date indicated below.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I submit this opinion to you in connection with the filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") on the date hereof.  The Registration Statement
registers $14,000,000 in Deferred Compensation Payment Obligations of Lockheed
Martin Corporation (the "Corporation") for use in connection with the Deferred
Performance Payment Plan of Lockheed Martin Corporation Space & Strategic
Missiles Sector (the "Plan").  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Registration Statement.

     As Associate General Counsel of the Corporation, I have examined such
corporate records, certificates and other documents and have reviewed such
questions of law as I deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this
opinion.  Based upon that examination and review, I advise you that in my
opinion:

     (i) the Corporation has been duly incorporated, is validly existing and is
in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland; and

     (ii) to the extent that the operation of the Plan results in the issuance
of Deferred Compensation Payment Obligations of the Corporation, such Deferred
Compensation Payment Obligations have been duly and validly authorized and, when
issued in accordance with the terms set forth in the Registration Statement,
will be legally issued and will be binding obligations of the Corporation.

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to my opinion in the Registration
