Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     The Compensation and Leadership Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of the Motorola, Inc. (“Motorola”) Board of Directors approved on March 28, 2005, the Motorola Long Range Incentive Plan (LRIP) of 2005 (“LRIP”) which is effective as of January 1, 2005. The LRIP is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.43. Below is a summary of the LRIP, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the LRIP.

     The LRIP has been established to encourage outstanding individuals to serve as officers of Motorola or a Subsidiary (as defined under LRIP) and to furnish those officers maximum incentive to improve operations and increase profits. The LRIP is based on successive multi-year performance cycles. The first cycle which covers a three-year performance period commenced January 1, 2005. The LRIP is being implemented pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2003 (“2003 Plan”).

     Corporate, Senior and Executive Vice Presidents and other officers recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Compensation Committee are eligible to participate in the LRIP. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer (if any) may also be eligible to participate as approved by the Compensation Committee.

     A participant’s target award is established at the commencement of a performance period based on a percentage of the participant’s base pay in effect at that time. A participant’s maximum earned award will be two times his or her target award. The award earned will be based on the achievement of stated performance goals relating to cumulative improvement in economic profit and cumulative sales growth during each performance period. Performance measures may apply to performance in each year in the performance cycle, to cumulative performance during the entire performance cycle, or a combination of both. Awards may be subject to partial forfeiture if Motorola’s total shareholder return for the entire performance cycle does not exceed the median total shareholder return for the performance cycle for a defined comparator group. Awards will be calculated after the close of each performance cycle on which the awards are based. All earned awards will be paid in shares of Motorola common stock as soon as administratively practicable following the close of a performance period. The Motorola shares will be issued under the 2003 Plan or such other shareholder approved Motorola equity-based incentive plan, as designated by the Committee.
