the 2006 Omnibus Plan;
WHEREAS, this Award is being made as part of the Company’s compensation program for Directors
and is authorized by the Compensation and Leadership Committee;
WHEREAS, this Award provides the Director with the right to receive shares of Motorola common
stock in the future in the form of deferred stock units (the “Deferred Stock Units”); and
WHEREAS, this right to receive Deferred Stock Units is conditioned upon the Director executing
and delivering to Motorola this agreement (“Agreement”) evidencing the terms, conditions and
restrictions applicable to the Deferred Stock Units.
Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good
and valuable consideration, the Company hereby awards deferred stock units to Director on the

Director at any time.
3. Upon the termination of the Director’s service on the Board, the Company shall deliver to
the Director a certificate representing a number of shares of Motorola common stock equal to the
number of Deferred Stock Units then credited to the Director’s account, plus a cash payment equal
to the value of any fractional Unit so credited.
4. Upon Motorola’s payment of a dividend with respect to its common stock, the number of
Deferred Stock Units credited to the Director shall be increased by the number obtained by dividing
(a) the amount of dividend the Director would have received had the Director owned a number of
shares of Motorola common stock equal to the number of Deferred Stock Units then credited to his or
her account by (b) the closing price of the Motorola common stock on the day before the date of the
dividend payment, as reported for the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transaction in The Wall
Street Journal, Midwest Edition.

which would have been received had the Director owned a number of shares of Motorola common stock
equal to the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to his or her account and any such shares
and property shall be delivered to the Director upon termination of the Director’s service on the
Board.
6. If the number of outstanding shares of Motorola common stock is changed as a result of
stock dividend, stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number
of Deferred Stock Units subject to this award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the
outstanding shares of common stock.
7. Except with respect to dividends (as described above), the Director shall have no rights as
a stockholder of Motorola with respect to the Deferred Stock Units including the right to vote
until delivery of certificates representing shares of Motorola common stock in satisfaction of the
Deferred Stock Units.
8. No assets or shares of Motorola common stock shall be segregated or earmarked by Motorola
in respect of any Deferred Stock Units granted hereunder. The grant of Deferred Stock Units
hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be solely for the purpose of recording an
unsecured contractual obligation of the Company.

be governed by and construed according to the law of the State of Illinois without regard to any
state’s conflicts of law principles. Any disputes regarding this Award or Agreement shall be
