2011 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Unit Award (“Award”) is awarded on January 30, 2012 (“Date of Grant”), by Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to Dr. Sanjay K. Jha (“Participant”).

WHEREAS, Participant is receiving the Award under the Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and the employment agreement that the Company and Participant first entered into on August 4, 2008 (as amended from time to time thereafter, the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Award is being made by the Compensation and Leadership Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company hereby awards restricted stock units to Participant on the following terms and conditions:

Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to Participant a total of one hundred and sixty-five thousand (165,000) restricted stock units (the “Units”). Each Unit represents a right to receive one unrestricted share of Common Stock (a “Share”) on the applicable Vesting Date subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), and subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. The Units are granted pursuant to the Plan and are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Restrictions. The Units are being awarded to Participant subject to the transfer and forfeiture conditions set forth below (the “Restrictions”). In its sole discretion, the Committee may amend or waive the provisions of subparagraphs (b) or (c) hereof, in whole or in part, to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with applicable laws, as determined by the Committee:

No Assignment. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, prior to the vesting of the Units as described in Section 3 below, Participant may not directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise transfer any of the Units still subject to Restrictions. The Units shall be forfeited if Participant violates or attempts to violate these transfer Restrictions.

Restricted Conduct. Sections 7(a), (b) and (c) (together, the “Restrictive Covenants”) of the Employment Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Award Agreement and shall apply as if fully set forth herein mutatis mutandis and any capitalized terms used in such Sections 7(a), (b) and (c) shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement. If Participant breaches the Restrictive Covenants , in addition to all remedies in law and/or equity available to the Company or any Affiliate, including the remedies available under the Employment Agreement and the recovery of liquidated damages, Participant shall forfeit all unvested Units and shall immediately pay to the Company, with respect to previously vested Units, an amount equal to (x) the per share Fair Market Value of the Shares on each date on which the unrestricted Shares were issued with respect to the applicable previously vested Units times (y) the number of Shares underlying such previously vested Units, without regard to any Tax-Related Items (as defined below) that may have been deducted from such amount.

Recoupment Policy. The Units are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Policy Regarding Recoupment of Incentive Payments upon Financial Restatement (such policy, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Recoupment Policy”). The Recoupment Policy provides for determinations by the Company’s independent directors that, as a result of, in whole or in part, intentional fraud or misconduct by Participant, the Company’s financial results were restated or materially misstated (a “Policy Restatement”). In the event of a Policy Restatement, the Company’s independent directors may require, among other things, (a) cancellation of any of the Units that remain outstanding; and/or (b) reimbursement of any gains in respect of the Units, if and to the extent the conditions set forth in the Recoupment Policy apply. Any determinations made by the independent directors in accordance with the Recoupment Policy shall be binding upon Participant. The Recoupment Policy is in addition to any other remedies which may be otherwise available at law, in equity or under contract to the Company.

Repayment/Forfeiture. Any benefits Participant may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable law, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, as may be in effect from time to time.

3.	Vesting. Subject to the remaining terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, and provided the Units have not been forfeited as described in Section 2 above, the Units will vest as follows:

Vesting Period. The Units will vest as follows in accordance with the following schedule (the applicable date, the “Vesting Date”) (provided Participant remains in the employment of the Company through each such Vesting Date):


Vesting Date	Percentage of Units that Vest
January 30, 2013		25	%
January 30, 2014		25	%
January 30, 2015		25	%
January 30, 2016		25	%

(i)

The period from the Date of Grant through the last Vesting Date set forth above is referred to as the “Restriction Period”. Except to the extent vesting accelerates pursuant to Sections 3(b) through (e) below, any unvested Units shall be automatically forfeited upon Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate prior to the applicable Vesting Date. The Company will not be obligated to pay Participant any consideration whatsoever for forfeited Units.

(ii)

If, during the Restriction Period, Participant takes a Leave of Absence (as defined herein) from the Company or an Affiliate, the Units will continue to be subject to this Award Agreement. If the Restriction Period expires while Participant is on a Leave of Absence, Participant will be entitled to the Units even if Participant has not yet returned to active employment. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Leave of Absence” means an approved leave of absence from the Company or an Affiliate from which Participant has a right to return to work, as determined by the Company.

- 2 -

Disability. All unvested Units shall fully vest upon Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates due to Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

Death. All unvested Units shall fully vest upon Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates due to death.

Certain Other Terminations of Employment. If Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than Disability or death (as addressed above), including voluntary resignation of Participant’s employment or service, then the vesting or forfeiture of the Units shall be determined, upon such termination of Participant’s employment, under Section 5 of the Employment Agreement.

Special Vesting in the Event of the Proposed Google Merger. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, if the proposed merger of the Company with Google Inc., as described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Google Inc., RB98 Inc. and Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. dated August 15, 2011 (the “Merger”), is completed and Participant quits for Good Reason within 24 months thereafter, the Units shall not be fully vested, but rather shall vest on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to (a)(i) the total number of Units subject to this Award, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the Date of Grant through the end of the calendar quarter in which the employee’s date of termination occurs and the denominator of which is the Restriction Period, minus (b) any Units that vested prior to such Termination. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Good Reason” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Employment Agreement. Participant agrees and acknowledges that Section 5(b)(iii) of the Employment Agreement shall not apply to this Award in the event of Participant’s termination for Good Reason after the completion of the Merger, notwithstanding anything in the Employment Agreement to the contrary.

4.	Delivery of Shares.

Upon the vesting of the applicable Units described in Section 3 above, the Company shall cancel such Units and shall establish a brokerage account for Participant and credit to that account the number of unrestricted Shares equal to the number of Units that have vested and cancelled, less any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 8 below). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company shall not deliver to Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with the vested Units.

Subject to Section 23, the actions contemplated by subparagraph (a) above shall occur within 60 days following the date that the applicable Units vested.

5.	Whole Shares. All Awards shall be paid in whole Shares; no fractional Shares shall be credited or delivered to Participant.

6.	Adjustments. The Units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.1 of the Plan.

- 3 -

Dividend Equivalent Rights. Pursuant to Section 9.1(a) of the Plan, Participant shall have the Dividend Equivalent Rights set forth herein with respect to the Units granted pursuant to this Award Agreement. Accordingly, upon the Company’s payment of cash dividends (or dividends paid in shares of stock of another company or in other property than Common Stock) with respect to its Common Stock, the number of Units credited to Participant shall be increased by the number obtained by dividing (a) the amount of the cash dividend (or the value of the other property) Participant would have received had Participant owned a number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units then credited to Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement, by (b) the closing price of a share of the Common Stock on the day before the day of the dividend payment, as reported for the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transaction in The Wall Street Journal, Midwest Edition. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of stock dividend, stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number of Units subject to this Award Agreement shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Plan to correspond to the change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or Participant’s Employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The parties agree that taxes imposed under Section 409A of the Code do not constitute “Tax-Related Items” and that no inferences should be drawn from this Agreement with respect to liability for paying any taxes due under Section 409A. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant tax withholding event, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant tax withholding event, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, if Participant is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Units; or (iv) requiring Participant to pay, by cash or certified check, the amount necessary to satisfy Participant’s obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, such Participant may satisfy the obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part, by either (i) electing to have the Company withhold in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Units; or (ii) paying, by cash or certified check, the amount necessary to satisfy such Participant’s obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items.

- 4 -

In any case, to avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares, if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9.	Stockholder Rights. Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Units, including the right to vote or to receive cash dividends and other distributions until delivery of the Shares in satisfaction of the Units in accordance with Section 4 above.

10.

Funding. No assets or Shares shall be segregated or earmarked by the Company in respect of any Units awarded hereunder. The grant of Units hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be solely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the Company.

11.

Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights. By accepting the Units, Participant acknowledges, understands, and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) the grant of the Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future restricted stock, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) Participant’s acceptance of the Units and participation under the Plan is voluntary; (v) Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s employment at any time pursuant to the Employment Agreement; (vi) the grant of the Units and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Affiliate; and (vii) subject to any rights of Participant under his Employment Agreement, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of any portion of the Units resulting from termination of Participant’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and regardless of whether in breach of local labor laws) except to the extent that such forfeiture or shortening would be in breach of his Employment Agreement (disregarding this paragraph).

12.

No Relation to Other Benefits/Termination Indemnities. Except as otherwise provided under the Employment Agreement, the Units and the Shares delivered pursuant to vesting of the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments, notwithstanding any provision of any compensation, insurance agreement or benefit plan to the contrary. Further, the Units and the Shares delivered pursuant to vesting of the Units are not intended to replace any pension rights.

13.

No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying the Units. Participant should note that the future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown. Participant is hereby advised to consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

14.

Acknowledgements. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Award Agreement by the Company shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or as a modification of such provision. The provisions of this Award Agreement shall be severable and in the event that any provision of this Award Agreement shall be found by any court as specified in Section 20 below to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of this Award Agreement shall nevertheless be enforceable and binding on the parties. Participant hereby agrees that the court may modify any invalid, overbroad or unenforceable term of this Award Agreement so that such term, as modified, is valid and enforceable under applicable law.

15.

The Company Assignment Rights. The Company shall have the right to assign this Award Agreement, which shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Award Agreement. This Award Agreement shall inure to the benefit of assigns and successors of the Company.

Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Award Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or any other provision hereof.

These recipients may be located throughout the world, including the United States and the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections from Participant’s country. Participant authorizes the Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan

and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan. Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative or the Company. Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative or the Company; however, withdrawing Participant’s consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

Each of the parties hereby represents and agrees that such party is subject to the personal jurisdiction of said courts; hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute; and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which such party may now or hereafter have that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in such courts is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.

23.

409A Compliance Applicable Only to Participants Subject to U.S. Tax. Notwithstanding any provision in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if Participant is a “specified employee” (certain officers of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) on the date of Participant’s termination of employment, any payment which would be considered

“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A that Participant is entitled to receive upon termination of employment and which otherwise would be paid or delivered during the six-month period immediately following the date of Participant’s termination of employment will instead be paid or delivered on the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s termination of employment and (ii) death.
