 Exhibit 10.2 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”)
is made and entered into by and between Zebra Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Employer”), and Charles R. Whitchurch (the “Executive”), to be effective as of November 16, 2007 (the
“Effective Date”). 
 RECITALS 
 A.      The Employer desires that the Executive continue to provide services for the benefit of the Employer and its affiliates and the Executive desires to accept
such continued employment with the Employer. 
 B.      The Employer and the Executive
previously executed the following agreements (collectively, the “Prior Agreements”), which constitute all executed agreements addressing the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Employer: 
 1.      Special Separation Agreement dated October 27, 2006; 
 2.      Directors and Officers Employment Agreement dated June 3, 1997 and
July 17, 1997; and 
 3.      Inter-Office Memorandum from Ed Kaplan dated
January 27, 1997. 
 C.      The Employer and the Executive desire to enter into a single
comprehensive agreement that enhances the employment relationship and supersedes the Prior Agreements in order to encourage the Executive to continue to serve in the employ of the Employer on a full-time basis. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the following mutual covenants and conditions, the parties agree as follows:

 1.      Employment.  As of the Effective Date, the Executive hereby accepts
such continued employment on the following terms and conditions. The Employer shall employ the Executive as an executive officer of the Employer. The Executive understands and agrees that he is an at-will employee, and the Executive and the Employer
can, and shall have the right to, terminate the employment relationship at any time for any or no reason, with or without notice, and with or without cause, subject to the payment provisions contained in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other agreement shall alter the at-will relationship. 
 2.      Duties.  The Executive shall work for the Employer in a full-time capacity. The Executive shall, during the term of his employment, have the duties, responsibilities, powers, and
authority customarily associated with the position of an executive officer. The Executive shall solely report to, and follow the direction of, the Chief Executive Officer of the Employer or to his designee or a designee of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”). The Executive shall diligently, competently, and faithfully perform all duties, and shall devote his entire business time, energy, attention, and skill to the performance of duties for the Employer or its
affiliates and will use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Employer. It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to serve on business, industry, civic, religious or charitable boards or committees, so long
as such service is in compliance with the Employer’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Chief Executive Officer of the Employer is provided notice of such service and, in his reasonable determination, such service does not individually or in
the aggregate significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Employer in accordance with this Agreement. 
 3.      Executive Loyalty.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Executive shall devote all of his
time, attention, knowledge, and skill solely and exclusively to the business and interests of the Employer, and the 








 
Employer shall be entitled to all benefits and profits arising from or incident to any and all work, services, and advice of the Executive. The Executive
expressly agrees that during the term of his employment, he shall not engage, directly or indirectly, as a partner, officer, director, member, manager, stockholder, supplier, advisor, agent, employee, or in any other form or capacity, in any other
business similar to that of the Employer. The foregoing notwithstanding, and except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 8, and provided that none of the following reflects poorly on the Employer or, in the reasonable determination of the
Employer’s Chief Executive Officer, individually or in the aggregate significantly interferes with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Employer in accordance with this Agreement, nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to prevent the Executive from (1) otherwise managing his personal investments and financial affairs, or (2) investing his money in the capital stock or other securities of any corporation whose stock or securities
are publicly-owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange, so long as (a) the Executive does not beneficially own stock in any such corporation if more than five percent (5%) of the Employer’s annual sales are to such
corporation or if the Employer’s products comprise more than five percent (5%) of such corporation’s annual sales, or (b) the Executive does not beneficially own more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of
any such corporation. 
 4.      Compensation. 
 A.      Base Salary.  So long as the Executive is employed by the Employer, the Employer
shall pay the Executive a gross base salary at an annual rate of $286,800 (the “Base Salary”), payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Employer’s payroll policy from time to time in effect. The
Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to any payroll or other deductions as may be required to be made pursuant to law, government order, or by agreement with, or consent of, the Executive. The Base Salary shall be reviewed at least
annually, and may be increased or decreased from time to time as shall be determined by the Employer, and once such Base Salary shall have been increased or decreased, it shall thereafter be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the
Executive’s Base Salary. Unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Employer and the Executive, any increase or decrease in Base Salary shall not limit or reduce any other obligation of the Employer or the Executive under this Agreement.

 B.      Performance Bonus.  The Executive shall be eligible to earn a
performance bonus under the Employer’s Management Bonus Plan (the “Bonus”) upon the attainment of certain performance measures. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall set
the performance targets for a given year. The Bonus shall be targeted at fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), with the actual Bonus earned to be calculated on that portion of the
Executive’s Base Salary actually earned during the calendar year for which the Bonus is calculated. The Bonus, if any, for a given year (the “Bonus Year”) shall be paid in the following year and on or before March 15 of
such year, provided, and except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 7B, the Executive must be employed by the Employer and in good standing as of the date that the Bonus is paid to earn any Bonus for the Bonus Year. 
 C.      Equity.  The Employer may award the Executive various forms of equity
compensation, all as determined by the Compensation Committee under and pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan as may be amended from time to time (the “2006 Incentive Compensation
Plan”). Upon the date of any such grant, the Employer shall provide the Executive with an award agreement which shall describe the terms and conditions of such award. 
 D.      Employee Benefits.  During the term of the Executive’s employment, the Employer shall: 
 (1)      include the Executive in any life insurance, disability insurance, medical,
dental or health insurance, vacation (of four (4) weeks in each calendar year, which vacation shall be forfeited if not used by the end of the applicable calendar year), savings, pension and retirement plans and other benefit plans or programs
(including, if applicable, any excess benefit or supplemental executive retirement plans) maintained by the Employer for the benefit of its executive officers; and 
  

 2 








 (2)      include the Executive in such
perquisites as the Employer may establish from time to time that are commensurate with his position and at least comparable to those received by other executive officers of the Employer. 
 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit, condition, or otherwise encumber the rights of the Employer, in its sole discretion, to amend, discontinue, substitute or maintain any
benefit plan, program, or perquisite. 
 5.      Expenses.  While employed by
the Employer, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by the Executive, in accordance with the practices and policies applicable to other executive officers of the
Employer, including professional and service company dues, journal subscriptions, educational seminars, conferences, and symposiums and as required by the Internal Revenue Service to qualify as ordinary and necessary business expenses under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for travel expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. To
receive reimbursement, the Executive shall submit to the Employer such vouchers or expense statements that reasonably evidence expenses incurred in accordance with the Employer’s travel and expense reimbursement policy. 
 6.      Termination.  The Executive’s services shall terminate upon the first to
occur of the following events: 
 A.      Death or Disability.  Upon the
Executive’s date of death or the date the Executive is given written notice that he has been determined to be disabled by the Employer. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed to be disabled if the Executive, as a result
of illness or incapacity, shall be unable to perform substantially his required duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days; provided, however, that if the Executive, after being unable to perform substantially his
required duties for a period of less than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of illness or incapacity returns to active duty for less than thirty (30) days, the period of such active duty will be
disregarded in determining whether the 180 consecutive day threshold has been accumulated (although it will not be accumulated as part of the 180 day period). A termination of the Executive’s employment by the Employer for
disability shall be communicated to the Executive by written notice and shall be effective on the tenth (10th) business day after receipt of such notice by the Executive, unless the Executive returns to full-time performance of his duties
before such tenth (10th) business day. 
 B.      Cause Termination.  On
the date the Board provides the Executive with written notice that he is being terminated for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, the Executive shall be deemed terminated for
“Cause” if the Board terminates the Executive after the Executive: 
 (1)      shall have committed, been indicted of, or been convicted of, or admitted, plea bargained, entered a plea of no contest or nolo contendere to, any felony of any kind or a misdemeanor, or violated any
laws, involving fraud, dishonesty or an act of moral turpitude; 
 (2)      shall have materially breached this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Executive and the Employer are parties; 
 (3)      shall have materially violated any written Employer policy, regardless of whether
within or outside the scope of his authority; 
 (4)      shall have committed
willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or dishonest, fraudulent or unethical behavior, or other conduct involving serious moral turpitude in the performance of his duties hereunder; 
 (5)      shall have failed or refused to materially comply (to the best of his ability)
with a specific direction of the Employer, unless the Executive reasonably and in good faith believes such specific direction to be unlawful (in which case the Employer’s termination of the Executive’s employment shall not be for Cause
under this provision); or 
  

 3 








 (6)      engages in any conduct which
breaches his fiduciary duty to the Employer, which materially injures the integrity, character or reputation of the Employer or which impugns Executive’s own integrity, character or reputation so as to cause Executive to be unfit to act in the
capacity of an executive officer of the Employer. 
 A termination of employment by the Employer for Cause under subparagraphs 6B(2), (3),
(4), (5) or (6) shall be effectuated by the Board giving the Executive written notice of the termination within thirty (30) days of the event constituting Cause, or such longer period as the parties may agree, setting forth in
reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Executive that constitutes Cause, the specific provisions of this Agreement on which the Employer relies and, to the extent such Cause is susceptible to cure, providing the Executive with a thirty
(30) day cure period. If such Cause is susceptible to cure and the Executive fails to remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, the Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment within thirty (30) days
after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Employer fails to so terminate the Executive’s employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Cause under this subparagraph
6B. 
 C.      Employer Termination.  On the date the Employer terminates the
Executive’s employment for any reason, other than a reason otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 6. 
 D.      Good Reason Termination.  On the date the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason. The term “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

 (1)      demotion of the Executive by the Employer to a non-executive
officer position (including a material diminution in the status of the Executive’s responsibilities, authorities, powers or duties taken as a whole) or assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with his position, status
or responsibilities under this Agreement; 
 (2)      material breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the Employer; or 
 (3)      decrease in Base
Salary as in effect on the Effective Date in an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) (unless such decrease is applied on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers of the Employer) (an “Applicable
Decrease”), but only if the Executive terminates his employment with the Employer as a result of an Applicable Decrease within fifteen (15) business days of the later of (i) the effective date of the Applicable Decrease, or
(ii) the Executive’s actual knowledge of Applicable Decrease (“Applicable Decrease Date”). For clarification purposes, should the Executive fail to terminate his employment with the Employer within fifteen
(15) business days of the Applicable Decrease Date, such termination shall not constitute termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason under this provision. 
 A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason under subparagraph 6D(1) or (2) shall be effectuated by giving the Employer written notice of the termination within thirty
(30) days of the event constituting Good Reason, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Employer that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provisions of this Agreement on which Executive relies and providing the
Employer with a thirty (30) day period during which it may remedy the condition constituting Good Reason. If the Employer fails to remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day period, the Executive must terminate his employment within
thirty (30) days after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Executive fails to so terminate his employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Good Reason under this
subparagraph 6D. 
 E.      Resignation.  On the date the Executive terminates
his employment for any reason (other than Good Reason), provided that the Executive shall give the Board sixty (60) days written notice prior to such date of his intention to terminate such employment. The Board may, in its sole discretion,
waive such sixty (60) day notice requirement.

 7.      Compensation Upon Termination. 

A.      Final Payments.  If the Executive’s services are terminated pursuant to
Paragraph 6, the Executive shall be entitled to his salary through his final date of active employment plus any accrued but unused vacation pay. The Executive also shall be entitled to any benefits mandated under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) or required under the terms of any death, insurance, or retirement plan, program, or agreement provided by the Employer and to which the Executive is a party or in which the Executive is a
participant, including, but not limited to, any short-term or long-term disability plan or program, if applicable. 
 B.      Severance Benefits. 
 (1)      In addition to the salary and benefits described in Paragraph 7A, if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs 6C or 6D, the Executive shall be entitled to the following:
(i) the continuation of his Base Salary at the annual salary rate then in effect (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year
period preceding the date the Executive’s employment is terminated), for a period of one year following the termination of the Executive’s employment (the “Severance Period”), payable in accordance with the Employer’s
payroll policy from time to time in effect and subject to the limitations imposed under subparagraph 7B(3); (ii) a pro-rata portion of the Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s employment terminates, if such Bonus would have been
earned had the Executive been employed and in good standing as of the date the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executive of the Employer, and payable at the time the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executives of the
Employer; (iii) the Bonus attributable to the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the Executive’s employment terminates, if such Bonus would have been earned had the Executive been employed and in good standing as of the date
the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executive of the Employer, and provided such Bonus had not yet been paid in accordance with the timing provisions set forth in Paragraph 4B, and payable at the time the Bonus otherwise is paid to
other senior level executives of the Employer; (iv) a payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Bonus (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and
which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the Executive’s employment is terminated), based upon the Base Salary for such year, to be paid at the same time that performance bonuses are generally paid by the Employer to
its executives for the year in which such termination occurs; (v) equity compensation, if any, subject to the terms of the Executive’s award agreement; (vi) professional outplacement services by a company selected by, and paid by, the
Employer within one (1) year after the date of termination, in an amount not to exceed $32,000; and (vii) continued coverage of the Executive and his dependents in the medical and dental insurance plans sponsored by the Employer, as
mandated by COBRA, which may continue to the extent required by applicable law and the Employer shall pay for such coverage, at the same rate the Employer pays for health insurance coverage for its active employees under its group health plan (with
the Executive required to pay for any employee-paid portion of such coverage), through the earlier of (a) the last day of the Severance Period or (b) the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another group health plan that
does not impose preexisting condition limitations on the Executive’s coverage, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to extend the period of time over which such COBRA continuation coverage may be provided to the Executive
and his dependents beyond that mandated by law and, provided further, that the Executive shall be required to pay the entire cost of such COBRA continuation coverage for any time following the last day of the Severance Period. 
 (2)      The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time within one hundred twenty
(120) days immediately preceding or one (1) year immediately following a “Change in Control,” the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 6C or 6D, the Executive shall be entitled to the following
compensation, in lieu of any payments otherwise set forth in Paragraph 7B(1) above, and payable within sixty (60) days following the later of the Change in Control or the 

  

 5 








 
termination, subject, however, to the limitations imposed under subparagraph 7B(3): two (2.0) times the Executive’s Base Salary at the annual rate
then in effect (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the Executive’s employment is
terminated) and two (2.0) times the Target Bonus (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the
Executive’s employment is terminated), based upon the Base Salary for such year. In addition, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment as set forth in this subparagraph 7B(2) the Executive and his dependents shall be offered
continued coverage under the Employer’s group health plan for the duration of the COBRA continuation period on the same financial terms as described above in subparagraph 7B(1)(vii) and shall also be entitled to the compensation and benefits,
if any, set forth in subparagraphs 7B(1)(ii), (iii), (v) and (vi), above. 
 (3)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a “specified employee” as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder,
any payments described in this Paragraph 7B shall be delayed for a period of six (6) months following the Executive’s separation of employment to the extent and up to an amount necessary to ensure such payments are not subject to the
penalties and interest under Section 409A of the Code. The payments to be made under this Paragraph 7B shall be further conditioned upon the Executive’s execution of an agreement acceptable to the Employer that (i) waives any rights
the Executive may otherwise have against the Employer, and (ii) releases the Employer from actions, suits, claims, proceedings and demands related to the period of employment and/or the termination of employment. For purposes of this Paragraph
7B, “Change in Control” shall be as defined under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, which definition is incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, the definition of Change in Control as
set forth herein is not intended to be broader than the definition of a “change in control event” as defined by reference to the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, and the payments described in Paragraph 7B(2) shall not be
payable unless the applicable Change in Control constitutes a change in control event in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder. 
 C.      Excise Tax.  If it shall be determined that any payment to the Executive pursuant
to this Agreement or any other payment or benefit from the Employer, any affiliate, any shareholder of the Employer or any other person would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code because such payment equals or
exceeds three times the “Base Amount” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code) by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of such three times the Base Amount, then the Executive shall receive a Tax Gross-Up Payment (as
defined below) with respect to all such excise taxes. “Tax Gross-Up Payment” means an amount payable to the Executive such that, after payment of Taxes (as defined below) on such amount there remains a balance sufficient to pay the
Taxes being reimbursed. “Taxes” means the incremental United States federal, state and local income, excise and other taxes payable by the Executive with respect to any applicable item of income. If it shall be determined that any
payment to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other payment or benefit from the Employer, any affiliate, any shareholder of the Employer or any other person would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
because such payment exceeds three times the Base Amount by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) or less of such three times the Base Amount, then the amount of any payments hereunder which shall be paid to the Executive shall be reduced to an
amount equal to one dollar less than three times the Base Amount. 
 8.      Restrictive
Covenants. 
 A.      Confidentiality. 
 (1)      Confidential Information.  The Executive understands that the
Employer possesses Confidential Information which is important to its business, the Employer devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customerbase and the general goodwill associated with its
business and the Employer 

  

 6 








 
diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of its Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information is information
that was or will be developed, created, or discovered by or on behalf of the Employer, or which became or will become known by, or was or is conveyed to the Employer, which has commercial value in the Employer’s business. “Confidential
Information” means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Employer that is confidential and proprietary to the Employer, including without limitation,
(i) information relating to the Employer’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists
and other similar information; (ii) inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Employer; (iii) the Employer’s proprietary
programs, processes or software, consisting of but not limited to, computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof
and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development; (iv) the subject matter of the Employer’s patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and (v) other confidential and proprietary information or
documents relating to the Employer’s products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents which the Employer reasonably regards as being confidential. 
 (2)      Employer Materials.  Executive understands that the Employer
possesses or will possess Employer Materials which are important to its business. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer Materials” are documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or
any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Employer, whether such documents have been prepared by the Executive or by others. 
 (3)      Treatment of Confidential Information and Employer Property.  In
consideration of the Executive’s employment by the Employer, the compensation received by the Executive from the Employer, and the Employer’s agreement to give Executive access to certain Confidential Information, the Executive agrees as
follows: 
 (a)      All Confidential Information and trade secret rights, and
other intellectual property and rights (collectively “Rights”) in connection therewith will be the sole property of the Employer. At all times, both during the Executive’s employment by the Employer and after its termination
for any reason, Executive will keep in confidence and trust and will not use or disclose any Confidential Information or anything relating to it without the prior written consent of the Board, except as may be necessary and appropriate in the
ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the Employer. 
 (b)      All Employer Materials will be the sole property of the Employer. The Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment by the Employer, the Executive will not remove any Employer Materials
from the business premises of the Employer or deliver any Employer Materials to any person or entity outside the Employer, except in connection with performing the duties of his employment. The Executive further agrees that, immediately upon the
termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive or by the Employer for any reason, or during the Executive’s employment if so requested by the Employer, the Executive will return all Employer Materials, apparatus, equipment and
other physical property, or any reproduction of such property, excepting only the Executive’s copy of this Agreement. 
  

 7 








 B.      Noncompetition and
Nonsolicitation.  While employed by the Employer and for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months following the date of termination of employment for any reason, the Executive will not directly or indirectly: 
 (1)      Contact, solicit, interfere with or divert any of the Employer’s customers;

 (2)      Accept employment or engage in a competing business, or engage in
any activity that may result in the disclosure, divulging or otherwise use of Confidential Information acquired during Executive’s employment with the Employer; and 
 (3)      Solicit any person who is employed by the Employer for the purpose of encouraging
that employee to join the Executive as a partner, agent, employee, contractor or otherwise in any business activity. 
 In the event of any
breach of this subparagraph B, the Executive agrees that the twenty-four (24) month restricted period shall be tolled during the time of such breach. 
 C.      Nondisparagement.  While employed by the Employer and indefinitely thereafter, the Executive shall refrain from (1) making any false statement about the
Employer, and (2) all conduct, verbal or otherwise, that disparages or damages or could disparage or damage the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the community of the Employer or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, or parents or any of
their officers, directors, employees and stockholders, or that could have a deleterious effect upon the Employer’s or any of its subsidiaries’, affiliates’, or parents’ business, provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Paragraph 8C or any other paragraph of this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from making any statement in good faith that is required by law or order of any court or regulatory commission. 
 D.      Forfeitures.  In the event that the Executive breaches any of the restrictions in
this Paragraph 8, he shall forfeit all of the applicable payments and benefits under this Agreement, including but not limited to such payments and benefits pursuant to Paragraph 7, and the Employer shall have the right to recapture and seek
repayment of any such applicable payments and benefits under this Agreement. The Employer and the Executive acknowledge that the remedy set forth hereunder is not to be considered a form of liquidated damages and the forfeiture, recapture or
repayment shall not be the exclusive remedy hereunder. 
 E.      Intellectual
Property.  The Employer has adopted a policy on Inventions intended to encourage research and inventions by its executives, to appraise and determine relative rights and equities of all parties concerned, to facilitate patent
applications, licensing, and the generation of royalties, if any, and to provide a uniform procedure in patent matters when the Employer has a right or equity. “Inventions” includes all improvements, inventions, designs, formulas,
works of authorship, trade secrets, technology, computer programs, compositions, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how and data, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or developed by the Executive, either alone or
jointly with others, during the term of the Executive’s employment, including during any period prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 (1)      Ownership and Assignment.  Except as defined in this Agreement, all Inventions which the Executive makes, conceives, reduces to practice or develops (in whole or
in part, either alone or jointly with others) during his employment will be the sole property of the Employer to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Executive agrees to assign such Inventions and all Rights in them to the Employer. Exemptions
from this Agreement to assign may be authorized in those circumstances where the mission of the Employer is better served by such action, provided that overriding obligations to other parties are met and such exemptions are not inconsistent with
other Employer policies. Further, the Executive may petition the Employer for license to make, market or sell a particular Invention. The Employer may release patent rights to the inventor in those circumstances when: 
  

 8 








 (a)      the Employer provides the
Executive with notification in writing that it elects not to file a patent application and the inventor is prepared to do so at his expense, or 
 (b)      at the Employer’s discretion, the equity of the situation indicates that such release should be given, provided in either case that no further research
or development to develop that invention will be conducted involving Employer support or facilities, and provided further that a shop right is granted to the Employer and, at the Employer’s discretion, the Employer shall have a royalty-free,
assignable license to the Invention and any intellectual property rights related to it. 
 The provisions of Paragraph 8E(1)
do not apply to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Employer was used and which was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (1) to the
business of the Employer, or (2) to the Employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the Employer. 
 (2)      Disclosure to the Employer.  The Executive promptly will disclose
in writing to the Board, with a copy to the General Counsel of the Employer, or to any persons designated by the Board, all Inventions. The Executive also will disclose to the General Counsel of the Employer all things that would be Inventions if
made during the term of the Executive’s employment, conceived, reduced to practice, or developed by the Executive within six months after the termination of his employment with the Employer, unless the Executive can demonstrate that the
Invention has been conceived and first reduced to practice by the Executive following the termination of his employment with the Employer. Such disclosures will be received by the Employer in confidence (to the extent they are not assigned in this
Paragraph and do not extend the assignment made in this Paragraph.) The Executive will not disclose Inventions to any person outside the Employer unless requested to do so by the Board or the General Counsel of the Employer. 
 (3)      Assistance with Rights.  The Executive agrees to perform, during
and after employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Employer to permit and assist it, at the Employer’s expense, in obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing Rights with respect to such Inventions and improvements in any
and all countries. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. The Executive agrees to execute such declarations, assignments, or other documents as may be necessary in
the course of Invention evaluation, patent prosecution, or protection of patent or analogous property rights, to assure that title in such Inventions will be held by the Employer or by such other parties designated by the Employer as may be
appropriate under the circumstances. The Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Employer and its duly authorized officers and agents, as his agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf and instead of the
Executive, to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive. 
 (4)      Moral Rights.  Any assignment of copyright pursuant to this
Agreement includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights” (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent such Moral Rights
cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral Rights exist, Executive hereby waives such Moral Rights and consents to any action of the Employer that would violate
such Moral Rights in the absence of such consent. The Executive will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Employer. 
 F.      No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive does not conflict with, or result in a breach of or constitute a default under, any
agreement or contract, whether oral or written, to which the Executive is a party or by

which the Executive may be bound. In addition, the Executsive has informed the Employer of, and provided the Employer with copies of, any non-competition,
confidentiality, work-for-hire or similar agreements to which the Executive is subject or may be bound. 
 G.      Disclosure.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the scope described above is necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Employer in the conduct of its business and that,
if the Executive becomes employed by another employer, he shall be required to disclose the existence of this Paragraph 8 to such employer and the Executive hereby consents to and the Employer is hereby given permission to disclose the existence of
this Paragraph 8 to such employer. 
 H.      Market Information.  The
Executive acknowledges that he may become aware of “material” nonpublic information relating to the Employer’s vendors, suppliers, alliance and/or joint venture partners, customers, or competitors (each, a “Business
Partner”) whose stocks are publicly traded. The Executive acknowledges that he is prohibited by law as well as by Employer policy from trading in the shares of such Business Partners while in possession of such information or directly or
indirectly disclosing such information to any other persons so that they may trade in these shares. For purposes of this Paragraph H, “material” information may include any information, positive or negative, which might be of significance
to an investor in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold the stock of publicly traded customers. Information may be significant for this purpose even if it would not alone determine the investor’s decision. Examples include a potential
business acquisition, internal financial information that departs in any way from what the market would expect, the acquisition or loss of a major contract, or an important financing transaction. 
 I.      Unauthorized Material.  The Employer does not wish to incorporate any unlicensed
or unauthorized material into its products or services or those of its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Executive agrees that he will not knowingly disclose to the Employer, use in the Employer’s business, or cause the Employer to use, any
information or material which is confidential or proprietary to any third party including, but not limited to, any former employer, competitor or client, unless the Employer has a right to receive and use such information. The Executive will not
incorporate into his work any material which is subject to the copyrights of any third party unless the Employer has a written agreement with such third party or otherwise has the right to receive and use such information. 
 J.      Injunctive Relief.  It is agreed that any breach or anticipated or threatened
breach of any of the Executive’s covenants contained in this Paragraph 8 will result in irreparable harm and continuing damages to the Employer and its business and that the Employer’s remedy at law for any such breach or anticipated or
threatened breach will be inadequate and, accordingly, in addition to any and all other remedies that may be available to the Employer at law or in equity in such event, any court of competent jurisdiction may issue a decree of specific performance
or issue a temporary and permanent injunction, without the necessity of the Employer posting bond or furnishing other security and without proving special damages or irreparable injury, enjoining and restricting the breach, or threatened breach, of
any such covenant, including, but not limited to, any injunction restraining the Executive from disclosing, in whole or part, any Confidential Information. The Executive further agrees to pay all of the Employer’s costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, incurred in successfully enforcing such covenants. 
 9.      Notices.  Any and all notices required in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed adequately given only if in writing and (a) personally delivered, or sent by first class,
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by recognized overnight courier, (b) sent by facsimile, provided a hard copy is mailed on that date to the party for whom such notices are intended, or (c) sent by
other means at least as fast and reliable as first class mail. A written notice shall be deemed to have been given to the recipient party on the earlier of (a) the date it shall be delivered to the address required by this Agreement;
(b) the date delivery shall have been refused at the address required by this Agreement; (c) with respect to notices sent by mail or overnight courier, the date as of which the Postal Service or overnight courier, as the case may be, shall
have indicated such notice to be undeliverable at the address required by this Agreement; or (d) with respect to a facsimile, the date on which the facsimile is sent and receipt of which is confirmed. Any and all notices referred to in this
Agreement, or which either party desires to give to the other, shall be addressed to his residence in the case of the Executive, or, if to the Employer, to: 
  

 10 








 Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary 
 Zebra Technologies Corporation 
 333 Corporate Woods Parkway 
 Vernon Hills, IL 60061 
 Either party may from time to time designate a new address by notice given in accordance with this Paragraph 9. 
 10.      Waiver of Breach.  A waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver or estoppel of any subsequent breach by such other party. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Employer or by the Executive,
as the case may be. 
 11.      Assignment.  The Executive acknowledges that
the services to be rendered by him are unique and personal. Accordingly, the Executive may not assign any of his duties or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive, his estate
and beneficiaries. The rights and obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Employer. 
 12.      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the agreements referred to
herein, sets forth the entire and final agreement and understanding of the parties and contains all of the agreements made between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes the Prior Agreements and any and all
other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the Employer and the Executive.

 13.      Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be found
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, then such provision shall be deemed modified, restricted, or reformulated to the extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, or shall be deemed excised
from this Agreement, as the case may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision had been originally incorporated herein as so modified, restricted, or reformulated or as
if such provision had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be. The parties further agree to seek a lawful substitute for any provision found to be unlawful; provided, that, if the parties are unable to agree upon a lawful
substitute, the parties desire and request that a court or other authority called upon to decide the enforceability of this Agreement modify those restrictions in this Agreement that, once modified, will result in an agreement that is enforceable to
the maximum extent permitted by the law in existence at the time of the requested enforcement. 
 14.      Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered a construction of the provisions hereof. 
 15.      Execution of Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be considered an original, but which when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. 
 16.      Recitals.  The recitals to this Agreement are incorporated herein as an integral part hereof and shall be considered as substantive and not precatory language.

 17.      Governing Law.  This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to its conflict of law provisions. Furthermore, the Executive agrees and consents to submit to personal jurisdiction in the state of
Illinois in any state or federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction situated in Lake or Cook County, Illinois. The Executive further agrees that the sole and exclusive venue for any suit arising out of, or seeking to enforce, the terms
of this Agreement shall be in a state or federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction situated in Lake or Cook County, Illinois. In addition, the Executive waives any right to challenge in another court any judgment entered by such Lake or
Cook County court or to assert that any action instituted by the Employer in any such court is in the improper venue or should be transferred to a more convenient forum. Further, the Executive waives any right he may otherwise have to a trial
by jury in any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 
 18.      Indemnification.  The Employer shall obtain and maintain for the Executive directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage and shall indemnify the Executive to the
extent permitted under the Employer’s By-Laws and/or Certificate of Incorporation. 
 19.      No Mitigation.  The Executive shall have no obligation or duty to seek subsequent employment or engagement as an employee (including self-employment) or as a consultant or otherwise
mitigate the Employer’s obligation under this Agreement. Payments and benefits due under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as an employee or consultant from any employment or
