of the Performance Period, and if the PSUs have not been forfeited as described in Section 2 above, then a number of PSUs for the Performance Period shall remain subject to performance through the end of the Performance Period and shall become earned based upon actual achievement of the applicable performance criteria set forth in Appendix A for the Performance Period on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to (A) the number of PSUs under this Award that become earned based on actual performance as described in this Section 3(c), multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed full months of service by the Grantee from the Date of Grant to the employee’s date of termination and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period.


4.	Payment and Settlement of Earned PSUs.

General. Upon the earning of the PSUs described in Section 3 above, the Company shall, at its election, either: (i) 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 PSUs that have been earned; or (ii) deliver to the Grantee a certificate representing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of PSUs that have been earned. Such earned PSUs shall be paid and settled as soon as practicable following the Performance Certification Date, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the end of the Performance Period for which the PSUs were earned.

5.	Change in Control.


a.	Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3 and 4 of this Award to the contrary, if a Change in Control of the Company occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, and the successor corporation (or parent thereof) does not assume this Award or replace it with an economically

equivalent award, then the target number of PSUs for the Performance Period during which such Change in Control occurs shall become fully earned, assuming achievement of the applicable performance criteria at the target performance level; provided, however that, with respect to any Award that is assumed or replaced, such assumed or replaced Award shall (i) no longer be subject to any performance condition, which shall be deemed satisfied at the target performance level for such assumed or replaced Award (i.e., the Payout Factor shall be deemed to equal one (1)), and (ii) be subject only to a time-based vesting period substantially equivalent to the applicable remaining Performance Period for such award; provided, further, that replacement awards shall be subject to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of any of the following within 24 months following such Change in Control (or such lesser period as may remain in the Performance Period) (each a “Qualifying Termination”): (A) if Grantee is involuntarily terminated for a reason other than Cause (B) if Grantee resigns for Good Reason, or (C) Grantee is eligible or becomes eligible for Retirement. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “Change in Control,” “Cause,” and “Good Reason” are defined in the Omnibus Plan. In the event that the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason prior to satisfying the time-based vesting condition, other than pursuant to a Qualifying Termination, the Award shall immediately and automatically be forfeited.


b.	Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, all PSUs that become earned pursuant to Section 5(a) above by reason of the failure of the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Change in Control to assume this Award or replace it with an economically equivalent award shall be settled within 30 days of the consummation of the Change in Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period and the subsequent assumption or replacement of this Award with an economically equivalent award by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Change in Control, the settlement of any such assumed or replacement award that becomes payable to Grantee on account of Grantee’s Qualifying Termination shall be settled within 30 days following such Qualifying Termination; provided, however that in the event that the Grantee is eligible or becomes eligible for Retirement prior to a Qualifying Termination, such award will be settled no later than March 15 of the calendar year following later of (x) the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, or (y) the calendar year in which Grantee is eligible or becomes eligible for Retirement.

7.	Adjustments. The PSUs shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16 of the Omnibus Plan.

to withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with the applicable PSUs that are earned, the Fair Market Value of which shall be determined on the Payment Date (as defined in Section 20 below) in accordance with Section 20 below, to satisfy the Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation or (b) requiring the Grantee to pay, by cash or certified check, the amount necessary to satisfy the Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation. With respect to a Grantee who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time applicable taxes are assessed, such Grantee may satisfy any minimum statutory withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by either (A) electing to have the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with the applicable PSUs that are earned, the Fair Market Value of which shall be determined on the Payment Date (as defined in Section 20 below) in accordance with Section 20 below, to satisfy such Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation or (B) paying, by cash or certified check, the amount necessary to satisfy such Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding obligation.


10.	Voting and Other Rights.


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


b.	The grant of PSUs 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.


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

12.

By accepting this agreement, the Grantee acknowledges his understanding that the grant of PSUs under this agreement is completely at the discretion of Motorola Solutions, and that Motorola Solutions’ decision to make this Award in no way implies that similar awards may be granted in the future or that Grantee has any guarantee of future employment. Nor shall this or any such grant interfere with Grantee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and any enforceable agreement between Grantee and the Company. Grantee’s acceptance of this Award is voluntary. The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments, notwithstanding any provision of any compensation, insurance agreement or benefit plan to the contrary.

Grantee authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the LRIP and/or the Omnibus Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the LRIP and/or the Omnibus Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on the Grantee’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Grantee may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the LRIP and/or the Omnibus Plan. Grantee may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting Motorola Solutions; however, withdrawing consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the LRIP and the Omnibus Plan.

Remedies for Breach. Grantee hereby acknowledges that the harm caused to the Company by the breach or anticipated breach of Section 2(b) above will be irreparable and further agrees the Company may obtain injunctive relief against the Grantee in addition to and cumulative with any other legal or equitable rights and remedies the Company may have pursuant to this agreement, any other agreements between the Grantee and the Company for the protection of the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined in Section 20) or law, including the recovery of liquidated damages. Grantee agrees that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, as specified in Section 19 below, will, at the request of the Company, be entered on consent and enforced by any such court having jurisdiction over the Grantee.
