Lapse of Restrictions.

	(i)		«Vesting_Schedule» (the “Restriction Period”);

	(ii)		If a Change in Control of the Company occurs and the successor corporation (or parent thereof) does not assume this Award or replace it with a comparable award; provided, further, that with respect to any Award that is assumed or replaced, such assumed or replaced awards shall provide that the Restrictions shall lapse for any Participant that is involuntarily terminated (for a reason other than “Cause”) or quits for “Good Reason” within 24 months of the Change in Control. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms

			“Change in Control”, “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in the 2006 Incentive Plan;

	(iv)		If the Grantee dies.

	b.		In the case of Retirement, Involuntary Termination due to (i) a Divestiture or (ii) for a reason other than for Serious Misconduct before the expiration of the Restriction Period, if the Units have not been forfeited as described in Section 2 above, then the Restrictions shall lapse on a pro rata basis determined by dividing (i) the number of completed full years of service by the Grantee from the Award Date to the employee’s date of termination by (ii) the total length of the Restriction Period.

	c.		“Retirement” for purposes of this Agreement means:

	(i)		Retiring at or after age 55 with 20 years of service,

	(ii)		Retiring at or after age 60 with 10 years of service; and

	(iii)		Retiring at or after age 65, without regard to service.

	d.		“Termination due to a Divestiture” for purposes of this Agreement means if you accept employment with another company in direct connection with the sale, lease, outsourcing arrangement or any other type of asset transfer or transfer of any portion of a facility or any portion of a discrete organizational unit of Motorola or a Subsidiary, or if you remain employed by a Subsidiary that is sold or whose shares are distributed to the Motorola stockholders in a spin-off or similar transaction (a “Divestiture”).

	e.		“Serious Misconduct” for purposes of this Agreement means any misconduct identified as a ground for termination in the Motorola Code of Business Conduct, or the human resources policies, or other written policies or procedures

	f.		If, during the Restriction Period, the Grantee takes a Leave of Absence from Motorola or a Subsidiary, the Units will continue to be subject to this Agreement. If the Restriction Period expires while the Grantee is on a Leave of Absence the Grantee will be entitled to the Units even if the Grantee has not returned to active employment. “Leave of Absence” means an approved leave of absence from

			Motorola or a Subsidiary that is not a termination of employment, as determined by Motorola.

Adjustments. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number of Units subject to this Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock

Dividends. No dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall be paid with respect to Units credited to the Grantee’s account.

Delivery of Certificates or Equivalent. Upon the lapse of Restrictions applicable to the Units, the Company shall, at its election, either (i) deliver to the Grantee a certificate representing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units upon which such Restrictions have lapsed, or (ii) establish a brokerage account for the Grantee and credit to that account the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of Units upon which such Restrictions have lapsed plus.

Withholding Taxes. The Company is entitled to withhold applicable taxes for the respective tax jurisdiction attributable to this Award or any payment made in connection with the Units. Grantee may satisfy any withholding obligation in whole or in part by electing to have Motorola retain shares of Common Stock deliverable in connection with the Units having a Fair Market Value on the date the Restrictions applicable to the Units lapse equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. “Fair Market Value” for this purpose shall be the closing price for a share of Common Stock on the last trading day before the date the Restrictions applicable to the Units lapse as reported for the New York Stock Exchange- Composite Transactions in the Wall Street Journal, Midwest edition.

Voting and Other Rights.

	a.		Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Units, including the right to vote and to receive cash dividends and other distributions until delivery of certificates representing shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the Units.

	b.		The grant of Units does not confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or to interfere with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary, to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time.
