Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Director Compensation
     The form and amount of compensation paid to Motorola’s non-employee directors is reviewed from time to time by the Nominating and Governance Committee (“Nominating Committee”) of Motorola’s Board of Directors (“Board”) with input from the Compensation and Leadership Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of the Board regarding market trends relating to director compensation. The last increase in Board compensation was effective as of January 1, 2003.
     On November 15, 2005, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board approved changes to the equity and cash compensation of the non-employee directors, effective as of January 1, 2006. The changes are described below.

The shares have been issued under the Motorola Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan and the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2003 and in the future will be issued under the Motorola equity incentive plan designated by the Compensation Committee.
 
2   The MDCP offers a wide variety of investment options. Directors prior to January 1, 2005 could elect to have distributions while they are directors or after they retire from the Board.
 
3   The number of deferred stock units will be determined by dividing $120,000 by the fair market value of a share of Motorola common stock on the date of grant. The deferred stock units will convert to shares of Motorola common stock upon a director’s termination of service from the Board and the shares will be issued under the Motorola equity incentive plan designated by the Compensation Committee. Dividend equivalents will be reinvested in additional deferred stock units.
 
4   On May 3, 2005 each non-employee director received options to acquire 15,000 shares of Motorola common stock for $15.47 per share, the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The options were granted under the Motorola Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2000, as amended.
