Motorola 2009 Long Range Incentive Plan (LRIP) Overview under the Omnibus Incentive Plan
This agreement outlines Motorola's 2009 Long Range Incentive Plan (LRIP), which operates under the company's 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The plan is designed for company officers in specific business units, as approved by senior leadership and a committee. Eligible participants may receive cash or stock awards based on multi-year performance cycles and specific performance measures. Awards are subject to adjustment, forfeiture for harmful conduct, and tax withholding. Generally, continued employment through the performance cycle is required to receive an award, with some exceptions for certain types of employment termination.

| All earned awards will be paid in cash or Company stock, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. To the extent awards are paid in Company stock, the number of shares of stock earned by a participant shall be determined by dividing the amount of the award earned during the performance cycle by the Certification Date Value. The shares will be issued under, and subject to the limitations of, the Omnibus Plan or such other shareholder-approved Company equity-based incentive plan as designated by the Committee. |
| The Committee may reduce the amount of the payment to be made pursuant to this Plan to any participant who is or may be a Covered Employee at any time prior to payment as a result of the participants performance during the performance cycle. The co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer, Broadband Mobility Solutions may adjust the amount of the payment to be made pursuant to this Plan to any participant who works directly for the Broadband Mobility Solutions business and the co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Executive Officer Mobile Devices may adjust the amount of the payment to be made pursuant to this Plan to any participant who works |

directly for the Mobile Devices business at any time prior to payment as a result of the participants performance during the performance cycle; provided, however, that any such adjustment may not result in a payment to the participant in excess of the participants maximum award under the Plan and any such adjustment to a payment to a member of the Senior Leadership Team or a Covered Person will be subject to the approval of the Committee. |
| If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that a participant has willfully engaged in any activity at any time, prior to the payment of an award, that the Committee determines was, is, or will be harmful to the Company, the participant will forfeit any unpaid award. |
| The Company shall have the right to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements with respect to the award earned by reducing either (1) the cash paid (in the event of a cash payment) by the amount of withholding or (2) the number of earned shares (in the event of a stock payment) by the number of shares determined by dividing the amount of withholding required by the Certification Date Value. |
| Payments will be made as soon as administratively practicable during the calendar year immediately following the last calendar year in the performance cycle (unless a participant makes an irrevocable election under any deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to defer payment of a portion of the participants award, in which case such payment, if any, shall be made in accordance with such election). A participant has no right to any award until that award is paid. |
| Generally, a participant will be eligible for payment of an earned award only if employment continues through the last day of the performance cycle. |
| Because employee retention is an important objective of this Plan and awards do not bear a precise relationship to time worked within the calendar year or length of service with the Company, Participants who separate from employment prior to the end of the performance cycle (for reasons other than death, Total and Permanent Disability, Retirement or, if the separation from employment occurs in the final year of a performance cycle, involuntary termination for a reason other than Cause) shall not receive any award attributable to that performance cycle. |

| Pro rata awards may be possible, however, depending upon the type of employment termination. In the event a participant (i) remains on payroll as an active employee at the end of a performance cycle, but is not actually working, whether or not on a leave of absence, (ii) Retires, dies, incurs a Total and Permanent Disability or, in the final year of a performance cycle, is involuntarily terminated for a reason other than Cause prior to the end of the performance cycle while actively employed or on a leave of absence, the participant will be entitled to a pro rata award based on the number of completed months of employment within the performance cycle in which the participant was actually working as an Officer, provided that the participant is otherwise eligible for an award. The table below summarizes how earned awards will generally be prorated in accordance with the type of employment termination: |
If employment terminates due to... | The earned award will be... | |
Death | Pro rated based on the number of completed months of employment within the performance cycle. | |
Total and Permanent Disability | Pro rated based on the number of completed months of employment within the performance cycle. | |
Retirement (in all countries other than member states or acceding countries of the European Union) | Pro rated based on the number of completed months of employment within the performance cycle. | |
Involuntary Termination of Employment for a Reason Other than Cause (in the final year of the performance cycle) | Pro rated based on the number of completed months of employment within the performance cycle. | |
Termination of Employment Because of Serious Misconduct | Forfeited. | |
Divestiture or Spin-Off | Pro rated based on the number of completed months of employment within the performance cycle. | |
Termination of Employment for any Other Reason than Described Above | Forfeited. | |
For purposes of determining a prorated payout, completed months of employment will include only those months in which the participant is actually working and is an Officer. |
| In the event a participant is reclassified from a higher Officer level to a lower Officer level (i.e., from Executive Vice President to either Senior Vice President or Corporate Vice President or from Senior Vice President to Corporate Vice President), the participants target award will be recalculated to reflect (a) the higher target award for the actual number of months completed within the performance cycle while employed in the higher Officer level and (b) the lower target award level for the actual number of months completed within the performance cycle while employed in the lower Officer level. |

| In the event a participant (other than a Covered Employee) is reclassified from a lower Officer level to a higher Officer level (i.e., from Corporate Vice President to Senior Vice President or Executive Vice President or from Senior Vice President to Executive Vice President), the participants target award will be recalculated to reflect (a) the lower target award level for the actual number of months completed within the performance cycle while employed in the lower Officer level and (b) the higher target award for the actual number of months completed within the performance cycle while employed in the higher Officer level. |
| The selection of any employee for participation in the Plan will not give that participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Company. |
| The Committees decision to make an award in no way implies that similar awards may be granted in the future. |
| Anyone claiming a benefit under the Plan will not have any right to or interest in any awards unless and until all terms, conditions, and provisions of Plan that affect that person have been fulfilled as specified herein. |
| No employee will at any time have a right to be selected for participation in a future performance period for any fiscal year, despite having been selected for participation in a previous performance period. |
| Award opportunities may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. |

| To the extent permitted by law, amounts paid under the Plan will not be considered to be compensation for purposes of any benefit plan or program maintained by the Company. |
| All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to payout of awards, and the corresponding rights granted thereunder, will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or other acquisition of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. |
| All awards to Covered Persons are subject to the terms and conditions of the Recoupment Policy. The Recoupment Policy provides for determinations by the Companys independent directors of a Policy Restatement. In the event of a Policy Restatement, the Companys independent directors may require, among other things, reimbursement of the gross amount of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to the Covered Person hereunder on or after January 1, 2008, 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 the Covered Person. 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. |
| In the event that any provision of the Plan will be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. |
| No participant or beneficiary will have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. |
| This Plan constitutes a legal document which governs all matters involved with its interpretation and administration and supersedes any writing or representation inconsistent with its terms. |
