            Without Prejudice Resignation Agreement (the "Agreement")
            ---------------------------------------------------------

Whereas, Symbol Technologies, Inc. ("Symbol") is the subject of a number of
investigations being conducted into its accounting policies and practices;

Whereas Leonard Goldner ("Goldner") has been General Counsel of Symbol since
September 1990 and has held other executive positions with Symbol;

Whereas the conduct of Goldner and others while at Symbol is being investigated
by a number of entities;

Whereas Goldner and Symbol entered into an Employment Agreement dated December
15, 2000 (the "Employment Agreement");

Whereas Goldner is willing at Symbol's request to resign all his positions with
Symbol and its affiliates and subsidiaries subject to the terms of this
Agreement;

Whereas Symbol and Goldner are in the process of negotiating the terms and
conditions of his resignation, and expect that such negotiations cannot be
completed immediately;

Whereas the parties wish to have Goldner's resignation become effective
immediately without prejudice to: i) any of Goldner's rights under the
Employment Agreement; and ii) any of Symbol's claims or defenses against
Goldner:

Now, therefore, Symbol and Goldner, in consideration of the mutual promises,
covenants and agreements set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, agree as follows:

1.   Goldner hereby resigns any and all of his positions and employment with
     Symbol and its affiliates and subsidiaries, effective June 30, 2003.

2.   Neither the entering into of this Agreement, nor anything in this Agreement
     shall affect, enlarge, waive or prejudice any right, remedy, claim or
     defense Goldner has against Symbol under the Employment Agreement.

3.   Neither the entering into of this Agreement, nor anything in this Agreement
     shall affect, enlarge, waive or prejudice any right, remedy, claim or
     defense Symbol has against Goldner.

4.   While the parties are negotiating the terms and conditions of Goldner's
     resignation, Goldner shall be available to consult with Symbol primarily on
     various existing commercial litigations concerning Symbol, including
     without limitation Lemelson, HHP, and Proxim. Goldner shall not be retained
     in connection with corporate governance matters. Symbol hereby agrees to
     pay Goldner $475 per hour for such consulting work. Symbol may terminate
     this arrangement at any time.

5.   Symbol agrees to provide Goldner payment for any accrued, unused vacation.

6.   Goldner is not forfeiting any rights under the Company's stock option plans
     (the "Plans") with respect to stock options awarded and vested prior to the
     effective date of this Agreement. Goldner may exercise any vested options
     during the period provided under the generally applicable abeyance program
     following the effective date of the registration statement for any vested
     options issued under the 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan, and during the
     period provided under the generally applicable abeyance program after the
     date the Company becomes current with its financials with the United States
     Securities and Exchange Commission for vested options issued under other
     plans.

7.   From and after the date of this Agreement, Goldner shall work from his
     residence unless he is requested by Symbol upon reasonable notice to attend
     a meeting at Symbol's premises. Symbol shall reimburse Goldner for all
     reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred at Symbol's request.

8.   This Agreement shall not operate as an admission of liability by either
     Symbol or Goldner, and neither Symbol nor Goldner acknowledges that the
     other has a valid claim against it. Symbol denies any liability to Goldner,
     and Goldner denies any liability to Symbol.
