 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC. 
 3.500% Senior Note due March 1, 2023 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter
called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to a Senior Indenture dated as of May 1, 1995 (herein called the “Senior Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by
the Issuer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate
principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Senior Indenture. This Note is one of a series
designated as the 3.500% Senior Notes due March 1, 2023 (the “Notes”) of the Issuer. The Notes are initially limited in aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000; provided, however, that the Issuer may, without the consent of the
Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise similar in all respects so that such further notes would be consolidated and form a single series of the Notes. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Senior Indenture, this Note will be issued in global form only registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee. This Note will not be issued in definitive form, except as otherwise provided in the Senior Indenture, and ownership of this Note shall be maintained in book-entry form by the Depositary for the accounts of participating
organizations of the Depositary. 
 Optional Redemption 
 The Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Issuer, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (each a “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of the
following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date: (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, or (ii) as determined by
the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at
the Treasury Rate plus 0.30% (30 basis points). The redemption price shall be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on an
interest payment date falling on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record date according to their terms and the provisions of the Senior
Indenture. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent
Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues
of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 







 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(1) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (2) if the Issuer obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, or (3) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is obtained, such Quotation. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, or their respective successors, as may be
appointed from time to time by the Issuer; provided, however, that if the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute another nationally
recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup
Global Markets, Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and each of their respective successors (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. If any of
the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such
Redemption Date. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note to be redeemed, the remaining
scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Note,
the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon shall be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding
that Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the Issuer shall assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such
Redemption Date. 
 A partial redemption of the notes may be effected pro rata or by lot in accordance with applicable DTC
procedures or by such method as the trustee may deem fair and appropriate and may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the notes or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of notes of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for the notes. 

  
 2 








 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the Redemption Date to each holder of the notes to be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the Redemption Date. 
 Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption
Date interest shall cease to accrue on the notes, or portions thereof, called for redemption. On or before the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with a paying agent (or the trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on the Notes to be redeemed on that date. 
 Change of Control 

If a change of control repurchase event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as
described above, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s notes at a repurchase price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any change of control repurchase
event or, at the option of the Issuer, prior to any change of control, but after the public announcement of the change of control, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions
that constitute or may constitute the change of control repurchase event and offering to repurchase the notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed (the “change of control payment date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the change of control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a change of control repurchase event
occurring on or prior to the change of control payment date. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a change of control repurchase event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the change of control repurchase event provisions of the Notes,
the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the change of control repurchase event provisions of the Notes by virtue of compliance with such securities
laws or regulations. 
 On the repurchase date following a change of control repurchase event, the Issuer shall, to the extent
lawful: 
  

	 	(1)	accept for payment all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered pursuant to its offer; 


  
 3 









	 	(2)	deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered; and


  

	 	(3)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes
being purchased by the Issuer. 

 The paying agent shall promptly mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder of
Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes
surrendered. 
 The Issuer shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control repurchase
event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

 For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of Holders, the following definitions are applicable:

 “change of control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any
“person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) or group of related “persons” other than the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the
Issuer’s liquidation or dissolution; (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) or group of related
“persons” becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s stock or other voting stock into which the
Issuer’s voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer are not
continuing directors. 
 “change of control repurchase event” means the occurrence of both a change of control and a
ratings event. 
 “continuing directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the board of directors
of the Issuer who (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who
were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election. 

  
 4 








 “investment grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its
equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional
rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Issuer. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc.
and its successors. 
 “rating agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of
Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Issuer, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Issuer (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be. 

“rating category” means (i) with respect to S&P, any of the following categories: BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or
equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or
Moody’s used by another rating agency. In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within rating categories (+ and – for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent
gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation). 

“rating date” means the date which is 90 days prior to the earlier of (i) a change of control or (ii) public notice
of the occurrence of a change of control or of the intention by the Issuer to effect a change of control. 
 “ratings
event” means the occurrence of the events described in (a) or (b) below on, or within 60 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a change of control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a change of control or
the intention by the Issuer to effect a change of control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the rating agencies): (a) in the event the
Notes are rated by both rating agencies on the rating date as investment grade, the rating of the Notes shall be reduced so that the Notes are rated below investment grade by both rating agencies, or (b) in the event the Notes (1) are
rated investment grade by one rating agency and below investment grade by the other rating agency, the rating of the Notes by either rating agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within rating categories, as well
as between rating categories) so that the Notes are then rated below investment grade by both rating agencies or (2) are rated below investment grade by both rating agencies on the rating date, the rating of the Notes by either rating agency
shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within rating categories, as well as between rating categories) or is withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a ratings event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction
in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular change of control (and thus shall not be deemed a ratings event for purposes of the definition of change of control repurchase event hereunder) if the rating agencies making
the reduction in 

  
 5 








 
rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part,
of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable change of control (whether or not the applicable change of control shall have occurred at the time of the ratings event). 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its
successors. 
 “voting stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of
the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 
 Events of Default 
 In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Senior Indenture. 

Amendments 
 The Senior
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Securities of each series issued under such Senior Indenture then Outstanding and affected to
add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, such Senior Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may
not, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby, (i) extend the stated maturity of the principal of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or reduce the amount of
any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any Security when due or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal
amount of Securities of any series issued under such Senior Indenture, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such modification. It is also provided in the Senior Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default
regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults
or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its
consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, or to the default under any covenant or provision of the Senior Indenture which
under the terms of the Senior Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of 

  
 6 








 
this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Senior Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be
issued in exchange or substitution hereof or on registration of transfer hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes. 
 Payment 
 No reference herein to the Senior Indenture and no provision of
this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or
currency herein prescribed. 
 Transfer, Registration and Exchange 

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, or at such other locations as the Issuer may from time to time designate, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the
limitations provided in the Senior Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, or at such other locations as the issuer may from time to time designate, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Senior Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, Notes may be exchanged
for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations. 
 The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized
agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose
of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the
Issuer in the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer
or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration of the issue hereof. 
 The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund.
