22. 409A Compliance Applicable Only to Grantees Subject to U.S. Tax. Notwithstanding any provision in this Award to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” (certain officers of Motorola Solutions within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and using the identification methodology selected by Motorola Solutions from time to time) on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment, any payment which would be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that the Grantee 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 the Grantee’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 the Grantee’s termination of employment and (ii) death.

Payment shall be made within 60 days following the applicable payment date. For purposes of determining the time of payment or delivery of any payment the Grantee is entitled to receive upon termination of employment, the determination of whether the Grantee has experienced a termination of employment will be determined by Motorola Solutions in a manner consistent with the definition of “separation from service” under the default rules of Section 409A of the Code.
